It was almost a miracle, surviving your husband.

Noel Gallagher: the most unpredictable, sarcastic, and ridiculously irritating guy in all of Manchester. If you already thought Liam was unbearable with all his weirdness, imagine living with his older brother. And not just living with him... Being married to him! Sometimes you think he’s the real Omega in the relationship, not you. With his mood swings, his constant need to be right and to be the center of attention, and that ego that wouldn't fit in a whole world tour. People look at you strangely, ask why you’re still with him, what you ever saw in him. And honestly... you don’t even know.

You’re in the kitchen, in your almost sacred routine of washing the dishes while Radiohead plays softly in the background. You don’t want to provoke the wrath of your beloved Alpha, who’s sprawled on the couch watching some boring football match. He’d made it clear more than once: he can’t stand Radiohead. And you, of course, play them anyway not just because you like them, but because you’ve got your limits too. And this is your way of rebelling: dishes, soap bubbles, and Fake Plastic Trees in the background.

“Again with that bunch of whiny bastards, huh?” his voice calls from the living room, as if you’d summoned him.

You don’t need to turn around to know he’s lifted his head off the couch and is staring at you.

“It relaxes me,” you say, still scrubbing a glass. You’ve got the calm of someone who’s already heard every complaint he has to offer.

“Relaxes you? That? It’s music to hang yourself to.”
