Work Text:
Yoo Joonghyuk was an Alpha unfamiliar with his Omega counterparts.
Being a regressor, he forgot what things were like before the scenarios. All he remembered was taking care of his younger sister, thinking he may have been too busy to look for a relationship. Since his sister had shown slight signs of potentially being an Alpha, he had never felt the need to research about the opposite dynamic.
Even in the apocalypse, he rarely encountered Omegas- let alone long enough to adapt to their typical habits. Due to the circumstances of the world's end, they were often hunted by others and died for various, often perverse, reasons. The ones he did meet mostly avoided him upon recognizing him as an Alpha, with few trying to seek safety with him. He wasn't sure what was instinctive and what was learned fear, but either way they never lasted long.
Despite all of that, Yoo Joonghyuk has somehow ended up companions with an Omega.
Kim Dokja was unremarkable in that department when they first met outside the train. He carried no scent, visually having nothing that would distinguish him as Alpha or Omega. Yoo Joonghyuk had assumed he was a Beta.
It seemed right. A plain guy like him just gave off the vibes of having the least impactful dynamic of the three. He could almost clearly picture the man's previous office job, placating his managers and putting his head down to work through the day.
But their second meeting felt off. Yoo Joonghyuk couldn't tell why until Kim Dokja, as though reading his emotions, tried to kiss up to him. Alongside his awkward words and waving hands, there was a subtle sweet smell that wafted towards him.
Kim Dokja's scent came out in full when he lost control during their fight on the theatre dungeon's rooftop. In the midst of calling out to him, it wasn't just what he said that drew Yoo Joonghyuk from the haze; rather it was the full-blown desperate pheromones that washed over him. Tangy yet still with that underlying sweetness.
It wasn't until sometime after the fifth scenario that Yoo Joonghyuk fully became aware of his companion's status as an Omega.
"Kim Dokja, why aren't you controlling your pheromones?" Yoo Joonghyuk asked as the man beside him shifted, his scent thickening in a surge with the action.
"...Sorry. Just deal with it for now, please." The omega grumbled with a pout.
He frowned at the other's mood souring, his scent profile fluctuating instantly. He seemed... Unstable. He decided to try and lighten the situation. "I don't mind. Do what you need to."
Kim Dokja looked up, eyes wide in surprise. The overflowing pheromones betrayed how happy he was, not covered even by the cough and mumbled gratitude. Yoo Joonghyuk subtly breathed in, letting his alpha bask in the omega's scent. It was vaguely reminiscent of vanilla, with a musty sort of undertone that he couldn't quite recognize. He felt that it fit Kim Dokja perfectly.
Part of him wondered contently if he would get to smell it more often now.
Yoo Joonghyuk's gaze shifted to Lee Seolhwa as she stood beside him, helping prepare vegetables for dinner. He hesitated a moment before asking the questions weighing on his mind.
"...Are you familiar with Omegas?"
The doctor glanced up at him and smiled slightly. "I have some experience with them, why?"
"What does it mean for one to... be incapable of controlling pheromones?"
She looked at him a bit suspicious, nose twitching slightly. He felt his ears warm as he wondered if she could smell Kim Dokja's lingering scent. "Well, it can often be a sign of hormonal imbalance, but it could also be heavy scenting- it's often self-soothing for an Omega to scent their children or packmates."
Yoo Joonghyuk recalled how the omega had seemed to relax when he approved of the pheromone shower and started to wonder if something was bothering him recently. He was drawn from his thoughts when Lee Seolhwa continued in a mumble, as though talking to herself.
"There's also the case of attraction and exhibiting want, a kind of courting method..."
His breath hitched as he paused, turning to her in surprise. It was mirrored for a moment, as though she didn't realize she spoke aloud. "...You'll only know if you ask- or court him yourself."
The regressor felt an unusual tight feeling in his chest. He tried moving attention away from that kind of topic. "What about it is soothing?"
She hummed for a moment. "Well, it's a little less of the scenting itself, and more the response to it. To accept an Omega's scent, that's the most comforting part for them."
Yoo Joonghyuk nodded in understanding, thinking for a moment if he wanted to ask his next question after what she'd already said. Ultimately, his curiosity won out in the end. "Is it... different for an Alpha to be scented?"
She smiled to him, a slightly mischievous glint in her eye. "Besides the obvious?" He felt his ears burn. "It could be a request to be scented back. When an Omega trusts an Alpha, they react positively to those pheromones. Besides seeking comfort, it can also be a way to protect themself- since other Alphas would stay away."
He pondered the whole situation. As far as he knew, Kim Dokja seemed to be the only Omega left free in Seoul. With many lowly Alphas wandering around, and his reputation having skyrocketed, he could clearly see where the seemingly sudden anxiety came from.
It was a peaceful day when Yoo Joonghyuk caught gossip. He was minding his business polishing his sword after a training session when he heard nearby conversation between Yoo Sangah and Jung Heewon. Although not usually one to eavesdrop, he kept his place in silence when he heard mention of his companion.
"This might sound weird, but I've never seen Dokja-ssi be so... like an Omega?" Yoo Sangah, who worked in the past with the man in question, tucked her hair behind her ear. The woman beside her made an odd noise.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Well... I'm not sure how to describe it, really." She hummed in contemplation. "You know, I think I've only caught Dokja-ssi's scent once before now."
Jung Heewon laughed. "For real? He's letting his scent out all the time though."
Yoo Joonghyuk felt a faint sense of jealousy burning in him. He pushed it down and kept listening.
"Yes, but before I barely knew he was an Omega. In fact, I would've assumed he was a Beta if I hadn't seen his record..."
The swordswoman scratched her chin, considering her words. "Now that you mention it, it does kind of feel like he just presented..."
Yoo Sangah nodded. "I'm wondering if he was repressed before? But then, what drew him out..."
The two women walked out of earshot and left Yoo Joonghyuk questioning his companion. Coming to no conclusion on his own, he decided to go to the one person he trusted to have answers.
"...Repressed Omegas? Are you asking about Kim Dokja-ssi?" Lee Seolhwa looked up from where she was taking inventory. Yoo Joonghyuk felt a little embarrassed that she no longer pretended not to know. Thankfully, she didn't question it further.
"Well... It isn't actually all that common," she thought of her next words carefully. "In an Omega, repression is typically a response to severe trauma. It can also happen with neglect at a young age."
Yoo Joonghyuk bit the inside of his cheek. That wasn't something he wanted to hear, but it sounded right. Kim Dokja didn't speak much about his past, but after glimpsing his familial ties he could see how the latter caused it.
"What- how does it end?"
Lee Seolhwa smiled. "Usually an Alpha's pheromones in the right setting." The alpha felt his nape grow warm. "Though it can also just happen over time."
She turned to him fully, folding her arms as her expression turned serious. "You've been asking a lot abut Omega behaviors. Are you trying to be his mate?"
Yoo Joonghyuk swallowed, mulling it over in his head. It didn't sound like a bad idea- rather, he felt his alpha preen at the thought. Although he settled on; "I don't want to do anything... disruptive."
Her expression softened. "I understand. Omegas can be tricky to deal with, especially when nesting." The conversation lulled before the regressor picked up on something, confused.
"...Nesting?"
The other alpha glanced back at him like he was joking, before frowning and turning to him once more. "You.. do know about nests, right?"
Yoo Joonghyuk vaguely imagined a pillow fort his sister might've made. "..."
Lee Seolhwa's frown deepened. "Yoo Joonghyuk, nesting is the main attribute of the Omegan cycle."
He felt like a lectured child as he looked away. She sighed and continued.
"Nesting happens before a Heat cycle, when pregnant, nursing young children, or even if an Omega is sick. It's important for bonding and establishing a safe space, especially for coming out of repression."
Yoo Joonghyuk recalled Kim Dokja's antsy demeanor, frowning. "He hasn't made a nest." Though he had no proof that was the case, it stuck out to him as most likely.
Lee Seolhwa sighed. "If you're sure. You can't force him to make one, but... if you can suggest it, please do." She bowed her head as she took her leave, and Yoo Joonghyuk began forming a plan.
The next afternoon, Yoo Joonghyuk was training under the blazing sun, wearing his coat as long as he could. Due to his focus being mainly combat and survival, he wasn't very good at controlling his pheromones- namely, increasing his output. Usually, it would get in the way of stealth. But now here he was, panting heavily as he struggled out of his jacket, catching his own scent soaking the fabric. He tossed it onto a nearby chair and returned to training in time for Kim Dokja to arrive.
He pretended not to notice him, focusing on his swordform while viewing the other in his peripheral. Kim Dokja stood there and watched him for a moment before he looked down at the seat. Yoo Joonghyuk could see the omega freeze in place, staring intensely at the jacket. He glanced up subtly before quietly picking it up and burying his nose in it. The alpha preened internally, feeling smug that his plan was working.
When he was about to properly focus on his training, there was an unusual thud behind him that caused him to go stiff. He glanced back with a feeling of dread, his stomach dropping when he saw Kim Dokja on the ground. Dropping his sword, he ran over to check on him; curled up hugging the jacket and breathing far too heavily.
"Kim Dokja!" He reached out to gently shake his shoulder, panic settling in when he received an unfocused gaze. The omega's scent flooded the area, causing him to flinch at the strength of the pheromones. A small whimper brought his attention back, teary eyes staring at him in pain. Yoo Joonghyuk hurried to pick him up, wasting no time in rushing back towards their camp.
Lee Hyunsung immediately looked up when he came in range, eyes wide as he sniffed the air. Yoo joonghyuk didn't spare a thought for his own pheromones, hurrying to the small building occupied by Lee Seolhwa. He kicked the door open with a bang, startling the doctor.
"Oh my," she gasped, dropping what she was doing to rush over as Yoo Joonghyuk lowered the omega onto the bed. She took his condition quickly, brow furrowing with worry.
"What happened to hyung?!" Lee Gilyoung cried as he followed the alpha soldier into the room, Shin Yoosung following alongside them. He hurried to the bedside, standing on his tiptoes to look for himself.
Lee Seolhwa stopped her check, picking the boy up and placing him onto the bed. He seemed a little confused, but wasted no time in curling up against the panting omega. Kim Dokja’s vice grip on the jacket loosened as it took him a moment to register the child’s presence.
"Joonghyuk-ssi, could you tell me what happened exactly?" The doctor grimaced as she beckoned the other child over, putting her beside the omega as well.
Yoo Joonghyuk bit his lip. "He grabbed my jacket... and then collapsed. Was it... because of my pheromones?" He felt a pang in his chest, hoping that wasn’t the case.
"Well..." She looked troubled. "It’s a factor, yes, but there’s a few things at play here."
"A few things?" Lee Hyunsung questioned, moving closer to get a good look at the omega.
"It seems that Dokja-ssi was repressed for a long time, and somewhat recently has resurfaced," she began. "Judging by his scent... it seems he hasn't nested yet. Joonghyuk-ssi's pheromones put him in shock.
"A pheromone shock? That's not too bad though, isn't it?" Yoo Joonghyuk felt a spike of upset that the soldier knew more about this than he did, but kept quiet considering the situation.
Lee Seolhwa nodded with a hum. "Usually it isn't a problem.. but if Dokja-ssi doesn't take care of himself properly..."
"I'll make sure he does." Yoo Joonghyuk stated firmly, watching the omega in question as he calmed down beside the children. The doctor smiled sheepishly, patting his shoulder in what seemed to be encouragement.
"for now, he'll be fine to rest. Gilyoung-ah, Yoosung-ah, you have no problems staying here?" The children looked up at her with matching sparkly expressions as if it was all they wanted to do. Kim Dokja shuffled on the bed, pulling them closer as he covered them with Yoo Joonghyuk's jacket. He felt his face warm at the action.
"I think things will be okay," Lee Hyunsung smiled at the meek attempt of a nest.
Yoo Joonghyuk found himself pacing around their safe zone, waiting for the sick omega to wake up. He had previously stayed at his bedside, ignoring the glares from the children, but had grown restless waiting and was kicked out by Lee Seolhwa due to it.
Lee Hyunsung watched him move back and forth outside of the makeshift clinic, raising his hand every now and then as if he wanted to say something. He’d lower it soon after as though wilting, finding no words to comfort the anxious alpha.
Eventually he couldn’t take it any more and went back inside. He was relieved to see the omega awake now, sitting on the bed as he rubbed his kids’ heads comfortingly. Curiously, he avoided the alpha’s gaze immediately. Lee Seolhwa glanced at him before coaxing the children to leave, reassuring them that they could go back to the omega soon.
"Dokja-ssi, we need to talk about your habits." Kim Dokja grimaced as he turned his attention to the doctor.
"...Is it really an issue? I feel fine now, so-"
He stopped talking when given a stern look. "You are aware that you are bound to go into heat at any moment, aren't you?"
The way he turned his head made it obvious he knew. Yoo Joonghyuk found great interest in the conversation's direction.
"It'll only gt worse if you don't nest," she continued with a sigh. "I won't ask why you haven't... but please, consider making one. Soon. Tonight, even."
"...Okay, I'll try," the omega bit his lip and mumbled half-heartedly. Lee Seolhwa stood, nodding to the regressor on her way out. The companions were left alone in silence.
"Kim Dokja-"
"It isn't that bad," he blurted out.
Yoo Joonghyuk leveled him with an unimpressed stare. "You collapsed after sniffing my jacket."
Kim Dokja's nose scrunched as he noticed said article still in his grasp. He pushed it aside with a petulant scowl.
"...Why won't you make a nest?" The alpha asked quietly, sitting across from the other. "It's clear you've needed to for a while."
"I don't-" he cut himself off with a frustrated sigh. "I'm not used to it, I've never nested before."
Yoo Joonghyuk shifted closer, letting his pheromones wash gently over the omega. "Never?"
His troubled expression softened. "Never."
The room fell quiet again for a moment.
"...You might've already guessed, but I didn't have a great childhood." Kim Dokja murmured. "I.. didn't exactly present properly, either."
The regressor tilted his head. "Didn't present.. properly?"
He chewed his lip. "I was already repressed when presenting, I think."
Yoo Joonghyuk contemplated him. "...That isn't good?"
The omega shrugged nonchalantly, leaning back on his hands. "From a medical standpoint, I guess. I've never had an issue with it, really. I.. just pretended to be a Beta." He picked absentmindedly at the blanket before looking up at the ceiling, seemingly gathering his thoughts.
"I've never nested, and I've never experienced a heat cycle."
The alpha stared in disbelief. Kim Dokja turned an uneasy smile to him.
"I don't think Lee Seolhwa knows that."
"She wouldn't like it," he grimaced.
The room went quiet again. Yoo Joonghyuk swallowed thickly, finding himself a little anxious again. He mustered up his courage and moved to sit beside the omega, turning his palm up.
"Will you nest... with me?" His eyes widened at the proposal, mouth falling open slightly. A few beats of silence passed before a smaller hand was placed in his, Kim Dokja leaning against him hesitantly. The omega’s pheromones spoke for him, presenting his trepidation and excitement in a sweet mix of vanilla and spice. The alpha almost wanted to salivate.
He returned the marking, dipping his head towards the other’s neck as his own scent seemed to warm the air between them. Kim Dokja took a deep breath, the remaining tension in his form easing out.
"I'll look for a place, if you could gather materials."
Yoo Joonghyuk was buzzing with joy as he rushed around for the omega, grabbing all sorts of blankets and fabrics he could find and filling his inventory. He wasn’t quite sure what traditionally went into a nest, but probably neither did his companion. He opted to take anything that looked comfortable.
Can you see this? /Kim Dokja xx:xx
He looked at the loading symbol on the blue screen, watching as a simplistic map of their area appeared. There was a building circled with the words ‘basement 2’ beside it. He wasn’t sure how a picture was able to be sent, perhaps it was just a feature they had yet to use until now.
I will be there soon. /Yoo Joonghyuk xx:xx
The omega didn’t reply, but it wasn’t a problem. The regressor gathered pillows from a hotel’s storage room, carrying as many as he could to his awaiting companion.
While walking towards the building that Kim Dokja claimed, Yoo Joonghyuk was stopped by his companion’s children. Lee Gilyoung stood with a glare, puffing his chest and straining his height.
"What are you doing, sooty bastard?" He growled with as much ferocity as a ten-year-old could give. The alpha glared back, when an idea struck him. Shuffling the stack of pillows he held to one arm, he reached out to scoop the boy into his other. He gave a nod to the baffled Shin Yoosung, beckoning her to follow as he continued to the building.
The boy screeched once inside, seemingly having been so confused to not realize what had happened. "PUT ME DOWN!"
Despite the demands and attempts to kick him, Yoo Joonghyuk continued to carry the child into the basement with the other following behind him.
"Gilyoung-ah?" The gentle voice of Kim Dokja called out from around the corner, silencing the expletives said boy was yelling. Shin Yoosung rushed past the alpha upon hearing her sponsor, eagerly skipping forward. He followed after, seeing the omega's current arrangement of three futons with a sheet laid over them.
"What'd you get? Besides the children," he smiled amusedly to the alpha as he let go of the boy, both children clinging to him. He realized Kim Dokja already wasn't wearing his signature white coat, feeling his chest warm at this more casual appearance.
Yoo Joonghyuk unceremoniously dumped the armful of pillows on the bare nest, pleased to see a glint in the omega's eyes as he pulled out blanket after blanket to follow. Soon, there was enough bedding on the pile to supply a children's sleepover.
Shin Yoosung assessed the pile with a critical eye as if she were the authority on nest materials, nodding as she turned a bright smile to the omega. "Ahjussi is making a nest?"
Kim Dokja looked anxious, his pheromones suddenly fluctuating. The alpha took initiative and picked up both children.
"He can do it alone."
Is this okay? /Yoo Joonghyuk xx:xx
"Why don't you two help Joonghyuk-ie prepare dinner, hm?" His companion settled instantly, giving him a grateful smile. Both kids gave him pleading looks and whined, causing the omega to chuckle as they were carried away.
Yoo Joonghyuk was surprised by the children’s ability to listen to his instructions, thinking that the omega was to thank for that. With the promise of getting to cuddle in his nest, the children listened carefully and diligently followed his instruction. While he was initially nervous to see them work with a knife, they understood the danger and paid attention to his demonstration on holding one. Lee Gilyoung took to it easily, pleasing the alpha as he saw potential. Shin Yoosung, wanting to be of help still, fiddled with the stove so he showed her how to sear meat.
Once everything was done, the children looked overjoyed with themselves.
"We should bring some to ahjussi!" Shin Yoosung bounced on her feet. Yoo Joonghyuk resisted a smile as he already had a serving ready for the omega. Lee Gilyoung noticed him holding two dishes and scowled.
"Sooty bastard, you're not going alone!" He rolled his eyes at the child, stopping him from running ahead.
"Get your own, you can eat with him." He pointed out. The two of them hurried to serve themselves, not wanting to be left behind as the regressor got a head start.
Kim Dokja looked up from fluffing a pillow once he arrived, practically drooling as he sniffed towards the food. The alpha felt a purr begin to rumble in his chest as he looked over the nest, each component arranged neatly to form a cozy semicircle.
"Do you.. like it?" He looked back to the flustered omega. They were interrupted by the children rushing in with their food before he could reply.
"Hyung, I used a knife!" Lee Gilyoung plopped down next to him, nuzzling his shoulder excitedly. Shin Yoosung pouted as she took to his other side, looking a little downcast.
"Ohh, you did? You were careful I hope..." He looked up at the alpha for input as he took his bowl. Yoo Joonghyuk settled against the wall next to the nest, not wanting to intrude on the kids' time with him.
"They both learn well." The girl's eyes sparkled as her mood lifted and she turned to the omega.
"I did the meat! Um... searing?" She glanced back to the regressor and smiled when he nodded.
Kim Dokja took a bite of his food and smiled. It's delicious. Good job you two," he balanced his bowl on his lap to give them both headpats, his scent filling the air pleasantly. The alpha mentally scolded himself when he felt jealous of the attention the kids received, eying the omega sneakily.
The nest looks good /Yoo Joonghyuk xx:xx
He was delighted to see a light blush spread across his face at the message. The group of them continued to eat in comfortable silence, the omega pheromones covering them like a warm blanket.
After eating, Yoo Joonghyuk glanced at his companion, sensing a change in his mood.
Should the children leave? /Yoo Joonghyuk xx:xx
The omega shifted, nudging them from snuggling at his sides. "Sorry..."
Yoo Joonghyuk gathered the dishes as he helped move the kids, who wanted to protest.
"But, ahjussi..." Shin Yoosung looked pleadingly at him. He shook his head as he settled against the pillows, discomfort crossing his features before he gave them a weary smile.
"Lee Seolhwa could use some help," the regressor murmured as he handed the dishes over. Lee Gilyoung pouted at them.
"We can't come back?"
Kim Dokja shuffled onto his knees, reaching up to ruffle his hair. "I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you. Please stay with Sangah-ssi tonight."
Yoo Joonghyuk ushered the reluctant children up the stairs, making sure they’d gone before he returned to his companion. The omega looked at him with a slightly heated gaze, rich scent thickly filling his senses as he lowered into the nest. Delicate arms wrapped around his neck and pulled him close, giving his head space to rest by his throat.
The alpha swallowed, the pheromones overwhelming him. He could feel his whole being want for the omega. His omega.
A soft whimper sounded as he breathed in, "Kim Dokja."
"Joonghyuk-ah," a trembling hand on the back of his head pressed him closer gripping his hair as he gasped with need. It was an obvious invitation, but he couldn't help asking.
"Can I mark you?"
The body beneath him rolled against his, the omega trying to get impossibly closer as he nodded. "Please. Please," he begged breathlessly.
Yoo Joonghyuk dragged his tongue down his throat, circling around a spot near to his scent gland. The pheromones surged in anticipation, washing over him completely. But still, he hesitated. Was this too extreme, too soon? Should he have talked to Lee Seolhwa first? But Kim Dokja’s fingers dug into his shoulder impatiently, answering for him.
"I want you. Only you." It wasn't very sweet, coming out in more of a growl. "Claim me, Alpha. Yoo Joonghyuk."
He felt an involuntary shiver go down his back at the pure want in the speaking of his name. It was proof that he wasn’t just thinking as an Omega, but as himself. He knew just who he was asking for, who he wanted. Yoo Joonghyuk felt a purr rumble in his chest as he sank his teeth in without further wait, relishing in the pleased cry as he was held close.
The iron taste of blood made him pull away in worry, a string of saliva clinging pathetically to his lip, anchored around the red bite mark standing clear against pale skin. He looked over to see the omega’s half-lidded gaze, a pleased smile curving his lips. There wasn’t an ounce of regret in his eyes, and the alpha couldn’t handle it. Their mouths connected in a passionate crash, Kim Dokja making a half-yelp in surprise as he let himself be kissed.
When they parted, he moved a hand up to his neck to feel the new mark, smearing the beads of blood across his skin as he brushed his fingers over it. Yoo Joonghyuk’s brow furrowed as he watched the motion.
"...Will it scar?"
Kim Dokja frowned at him. "It's supposed to, isn't it? That's what makes it a 'mark'."
He looked back at his neck, delicate fingers framing it. The alpha leaned down, brushing his tongue over the digits and bitemark. He diligently cleaned up the blood, unbothered by the taste of it. When he finished, he pressed a gentle kiss to the mark he left; silently promising to always take care of the other.
Yoo Joonghyuk pulled back to look at his omega, his heart skipping a beat at the lustful gaze he was given. He leaned forward and bumped their noses, looking deep into those beautiful eyes, thrilled by the love mirrored in them. Kim Dokja tipped his head to make their lips brush together, poking his tongue out playfully with a soft smile. He initiated the kiss, pulling the alpha close as he spread his legs for him to fit. Yoo Joonghyuk brought a hand down to rub over his companion’s erection, tracing it through the fabric of his pants.
The omega shifted, turning his head to gulp in the air. He raised his hips as he let his bottoms be removed, shivering in anticipation. Yoo Joonghyuk would’ve liked to go slow, but the apparent need from the other kept him moving. He pulled the omega up into his lap, coaxing his head to rest by his neck as he squeezed his ass.
Kim Dokja purred as he lapped at the regressor’s skin, nibbling lightly as a firm digit circled his entrance. The alpha rubbed methodically, dipping his fingertip in to help the slick flow out until he could properly push it in. He pressed his finger in deep, purrs stuttering as the omega’s breath quickened in response. Pulling out to thrust shallowly, he was pleased to feel the growing wetness that let him insert a second and eventual third finger.
Yoo Joonghyuk could feel thick strings of slick follow his hand when he removed it. He laid his omega back down, leaning back to take off his jacket. Rummaging in his pocket, he produced a roll of condoms. He had prepared for this, knowing that nesting would lead to Kim Dokja’s heat.
The omega frowned as he watched the regressor free his length, rolling the rubber onto it. His disappointment went away when his entrance was rubbed against once more, seeming to only have the mental capacity for one thought at a time. His eyes widened as the alpha pushed in with little resistance, mouth opening in a quiet, breathy moan. Yoo Joonghyuk let out a sigh when he seated himself fully within the omega, relishing the warmth he could feel hugging his cock.
He hooked his arms under his companion’s thighs, holding his waist as he set a steady pace. A pleasured groan left him as he thrust with excitement, watching how his omega enjoyed it. Kim Dokja looked down in disbelief, cheeks flushed as he panted. He touched the alpha’s hands before moving to rub his stomach, head tipping back as he moaned.
"Ah- Alpha~ good Alpha!" He cried out, legs trembling as he praised the regressor. Yoo Joonghyuk felt a growl in his throat as he leaned over the omega, grip tightening on his waist. His thrusts sped up as he chased pleased moans and whimpers, gaze shifting to the mark he left.
Yoo Joonghyuk buried himself deep in the omega, dipping his head to lick his neck. Their hips rocked together as he filled the condom, sighing when he pulled back. He looked down to see Kim Dokja’s stomach covered in slick, tipping his head curiously.
"Do omegas not cum normally...?" When he didn’t get a response, he looked up to see his companion staring at him expectantly. He leaned forward to give him a light kiss, confused that it didn’t get rid of that waiting expression.
"Move." Kim Dokja huffed in frustration, wiggling his hips as he reached out to pat the regressor's sides. Of course, it should've been obvious that only doing it once wouldn't be enough...
He startled at a loud whine in response to him pulling out, tears forming in the omega's eyes. "Noo..."
Yoo Joonghyuk gave a kiss to his forehead. "Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere." He soothed, quickly removing his condom, tying and tossing it as he grabbed another to put on. The omega sighed softly when he pressed back in, wrapping his arms around the regressor’s shoulders as he nuzzled his face.
Their lips met again in a warm kiss as the regressor began to move once more. Kim Dokja purred, wrapping his legs around the alpha’s waist as he begged for more. Yoo Joonghyuk broke away from the omega to bury his face in his neck, feeling the vibrations from his throat. He started to lose himself in the moment, mouthing at the mark he made as it set in that this is his omega. The joy of having a mate filled him with bliss as he clung to the omega, thrusting deep as a possessive growl threatened to escape him.
A shudder wracked through the alpha as he resisted the urge to bite when he came for the second time. He rolled the two of them onto their sides to bask in the post-orgasm comfort, relishing the way the omega fit perfectly in his arms. He was content to fall asleep like this, surrounded by warmth.
But Kim Dokja had other plans as he grew restless once more, the short rest doing nothing to ease him. He pushed the alpha onto his back, sitting up with a moan as he ground his hips against him. His legs trembled as he raised himself before slamming back down and crying out in pleasure, bouncing to his heart's content.
Yoo Joonghyuk felt strained, having already cum twice and not given ample time to recuperate. The omega grabbed his hands that reached for his waist, instead using them for leverage to bounce harder.
The look in his eyes as he gazed down at the alpha was overwhelmingly needy, paired with open-mouthed pants interspersed with breathless moans. His hips slammed down hard and he started rocking, forcing a rough grunt from the other.
"Kim Dokja, wait just a moment..." He gasped, finally grabbing his hips to stop him from moving. The action was met with a whine and desperate scratches to his hands, and Yoo Joonghyuk had to flip their positions with a growl to get him to stop.
He restrained the omega as he pulled out swiftly, going cold when he noticed the condom had broken. Taking a shaky breath, he looked around and found a towel tucked into the edge of the nest. Carefully freeing it, he quickly discarded the broken rubber and cleaned up the mess on him and the omega.
"C'mon," Kim Dokja whined, trying to scoot closer and get the alpha back in him.
"Water," he gasped and pushed him away, putting distance between them so he wouldn't get trapped. "We need water. I promise to be quick, okay?"
Though he whined more and tears pricked at his eyes, the omega just rolled onto his side and started touching himself. Yoo Joonghyuk rose quickly, fumbling with his clothes as he hurried out of the basement.
Lee Seolhwa startled again as her door was kicked open for the second time that day. She regarded the intruding alpha wearily, frowning when she saw how he was unusually panting.
Yoo Joonghyuk sat down to catch his breath.
"I need your strongest suppressants. Preferably fast acting, too."
She quirked her brow in curious amusement. "Is Kim Dokja's heat too much to handle?"
He nodded with a sigh, running a hand through his hair. The doctor rummaged around in her drawer before passing a small, nondescript bottle to him.
"Give him one to start, if he doesn't calm down in around fifteen minutes then give him another. He can take four total if needed." She instructed. He gave her an appreciative look before grimacing.
"And... do you have birth control?" He looked up awkwardly anxious.
She stared at him for a moment, a blue screen popping up in front of her. She glanced over it before dismissing it with a smile.
"I gave Kim Dokja a shot earlier," she pat him on the shoulder. "And you're both clean, so you don't have to worry too much about protection for now. Calming him down should be the main priority."
He felt his face warm as he nodded, leaving with a quiet thanks.
As Yoo Joonghyuk returned to the basement, he nearly fell off the last step when he looked into the room.
Kim Dokja sat in the nest, leaning against the wall as he rubbed the unbroken full condom against his hole. He gave up trying to put it in himself when he saw the regressor, looking up with beaming eyes.
"Alpha~" he cooed, raising his arms in an obvious ask for a hug.
The alpha sighed as he knelt in the nest again, letting the omega cuddle up to him.
"Take this first," he opened the suppressant bottle and shook out a pill to hand over. Instead of taking it, Kim Dokja opened his mouth and waited.
He stared down at him for a moment before dropping the pill down his throat, wincing as he nearly choked swallowing it dry. Yoo Joonghyuk pressed the bottle of water he brought to his lips, watching in awe as the omega chugged half of it.
Gasping for air, he nuzzled the alpha's chest as he wriggled further into his lap.
"Alpha, just one more time. Please?" Kim Dokja begged, looking up with watery eyes. He seemed a little more lucid, but there was still some of that lustful need in his gaze.
"...Just one more," he agreed, freeing his member and stroking it to full length once more.
He was glad for the short break he was able to get, giving him enough time to recover. Though he still felt too sensitive, he let the omega have him this last time.
Yoo Joonghyuk thrust into him raw and was amazed at the difference. It was good with the condom, but this was a whole new level of good. He marveled in the wet heat, better feeling the pulse of his insides with each breath.
Kim Dokja started purring again, and he could swear the vibrations went through his whole body. He rocked them together slowly, just enjoying their connection.
He could tell the suppressant was starting to work by the way the omega went lax in his hold, sighing softly as he absently rubbed at his belly.
The regressor groaned from the pleasure squeezing him, peppering kisses over the back of his omega's neck. He felt himself be taken once more by this reality, closing his eyes as he silently thanked the universe for bringing him such a wonderful mate.
"Yoo Joonghyuk." He shivered at the soft utterance of his name, holding him closer as he came for a final time.
Kim Dokja turned his head to nuzzle his neck, teeth sinking into his skin. It didn't hurt as much as he thought it would, instead feeling a warm thrum through his body.
Yoo Joonghyuk carefully pulled him down to lay. Though he knew he wouldn't knot if he wasn't in rut, he still didn't want to pull out. The omega made no fuss about it either, just closing his eyes tiredly in response.
For a moment, the room was quiet with only their breathing. After a while, Kim Dokja pat one of the hands that held him.
"Thank you," he mumbled sleepily. "I'm so.. happy.. to be yours..." His voice trailed off as he succumbed to his exhaustion.
Yoo Joonghyuk tucked his face into his neck, breathing in the omega's pheromones as he kissed his mark.
"I love you," he whispered. "I don't know how I got so lucky."
The alpha purred quietly as the warm scent of his new mate lulled him to sleep.
