Chapter Text
Renjun was a bit bored. He was cleaning their bathroom as he had nothing better to do for now. Donghyuck was out having his perfect anniversary with Mark. And Jeno and him had only agreed to meet up at three, which would be in - he checked his watch with a long sigh - another hour.
He let his cloth fall into the bucket with detergent.
His phone vibrated! - it had never felt this exciting to get a text message.
Jeno
Hey, wear something serious and mature for later.
Renjun frowned. Why was Jeno making requests about his outfit choices now?
Renjun
Why?
Do you not like the way I usually dress?
Jeno
I like you no matter what you wear.
Even if you wear nothing ;)
Renjun almost dropped his phone as heat rose to his cheeks.
Jeno
But this is for something we're doing later.
Just try to look very adult like.
Renjun
What are you planning?
Jeno
Just wait and see!
See you later, love you <3
Renjun stared down at his phone in confusion. What had Jeno planned for them? Renjun had thought they might get some coffee or go to the cinema together. But Jeno had obviously something different in mind.
Well, at least he wasn't bored anymore as he raced to his closet, looking for his most serious looking clothes. He had extra fun doing his make-up, applying a deep red color to his lips that made him look at least a few years older and a lot more mature than the usual pastel tones he preferred.
Jeno also looked...different, when he opened his door for him at 3pm. He was wearing his glasses and his father’s old jacket, hair slicked back neatly. He looked mature, a few years older, but nonetheless very handsome.
"Wow, you look great. Like a secretary.", Jeno told him when he saw him.
"Like a secretary?", Renjun laughed, looking down at his white blouse and elegant black flares.
"Yeah.", Jeno answered sheepishly.
"Then you are what?", Renjun asked, playing a long. "The intern?"
"I was going more for young CEO-vibes.", Jeno said, making Renjun laugh again.
"So, why are we dressed up like this?", Renjun asked when Jeno and him were going downstairs. "Are we going to some old people place that is age restricted?"
Jeno laughed this time.
"No, but we are going to do something that people that are a few years older than we are usually do. And I wanted us to be taken seriously.", Jeno told him. "It's gonna be fun."
Jeno had even borrowed his family's car, making Renjun all the more curious as they drove through the city, away from the center and more to the residential area of the city, where they had big and fancy houses for families - similar to the one Jeno's family lived in.
"Ah, we're here.", Jeno said as he pulled into a parking lot.
Renjun looked around, but there was not much to see. Only houses.
"What are we doing here?", Renjun asked him.
"You'll see.", Jeno winked, but before they left the car he pulled something out of his pocket. "We need to add one thing to your outfit, though. For authenticity.", he said, grabbing Renjun's hand and putting a ring on his finger.
"Jeno - what? Where did you even get that?", Renjun asked surprised, flustered and confused at to what was going on.
"From a vending machine, costed me a whole dollar.", Jeno answered, opening his door and getting out.
"Jeno, what are we doing here?", Renjun asked again, but Jeno only took his hand and pulled the omega with him.
"Just play along. This is gonna be fun.", Jeno chuckled.
That's when Renjun spotted the 'Open Houses' sign on the side of the street. How had he missed the groups of people standing in front of four gorgeous houses that apparently were open to visitors and buyers today?
Renjun quickly understood why they had to dress up for this, as the Realtor dismissed the few curious teenagers that tried to get a peek inside but were guided outside as soon as they entered.
"Ah, are you two interested in buying a house?", he greeted them with a polite smile as they stepped over the porch. "I'm Nicklas Jones, the Realtor for this house."
"Yes, we are very interested. I'm Jeno Lee and this is my fiance.", Jeno introduced them and Renjun nearly chocked on air – fiance?!
"Oh, how lovely, when's the wedding?", Mister Jones said with a bright smile.
"Oh, we haven't decided yet, I only proposed a week ago.", Jeno lied with no hesitation.
"So you're looking for a place to settle down after the marriage?", Mister Jones asked, still smiling professionally.
"Exactly.", Jeno answered. "But my fiance is a bit picky. Aren't you, honey?", Jeno added with a cheeky smile towards Renjun.
"Ah, well, it's a big investment.", Renjun answered, still a bit flustered by the sudden act. Jeno seemed to enjoy his embarrassment, though, smirking when the Realtor turned his back to them for one second.
"Let me offer you some champagne. To your engagement!", Mister Jones said, coming back to them with two glasses of champagne.
Renjun suddenly got an idea. He gave Jeno a glance, who still looked way too cocky about this whole plan.
"Actually, we can't. We're expecting.", Renjun declined, enjoying the way Jeno's eyes widened at the statement. For good measure he rested his hands on top of his belly, giving it a fond look.
"Oh no, how wonderful! So that's the reason behind the wedding, I see.", the Realtor joked with a wink towards the couple, laughing at his own joke.
"Yeah, so it would be so great if this house would have at least two bedrooms.", Renjun told him.
"You've come to the right place! This house has three bedrooms, two baths and a huge backyard for the little one to play.", Mister Jones assured him.
"That sounds perfect, doesn't it, honey?", Renjun turned to Jeno, whose ears had turned bright pink.
"Yeah, perfect.", Jeno said, voice quivering.
"I'll let you two take a look around, okay? If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask.", Mister Jones told them as another couple entered the house, leaving them alone to greet them.
"We're expecting?", Jeno spluttered as they walked into the living room.
"We're engaged?", Renjun countered with raised eyebrows.
"Well, I could've also told him we were married already, but I only had money for the one ring.", Jeno replied sheepishly.
"How about next time you tell me what you have planned so I actually know what's going on?", Renjun retorted. "Why are we even here? You don't actually want to buy a house, do you?"
"No.", Jeno answered quickly. "At least not yet. But it's fun, isn't it?", he added and Renjun had to admit it had been quite fun to fool the unsuspecting Realtor. "Plus, they always have free food at these."
Renjun laughed at Jeno when the alpha took one of the prepared pastries.
"Too bad they always make the portions too small.", Jeno said, food gone with one bite.
"Guess I'm lucky I'm pregnant then.", Renjun said, getting three of the pastries at once. "They can't take away food from a pregnant omega.", he added as he took a huge bite.
"I wish I was pregnant.", Jeno muttered, making Renjun giggle.
"Come on, let's check out the bedroom while we're here.", the omega said, pulling Jeno upstairs.
The bedroom was huge and Renjun couldn't hold himself back when he saw the fuzzy blankets, diving on top of it with one big jump.
"Hey, we're mature adults.", Jeno reminded him, but who was he kidding? He took a run-up and jumped right next to Renjun.
"It's so fluffy.", Renjun said, bouncing a bit on the bed.
"Would be a good place for our honeymoon, don't you think?", Jeno asked, wiggling his eyebrows.
Renjun gasped dramatically, blinking his eyes in disbelief.
"You would take me to our own house for our honeymoon? Wow, I'm seriously disappointed right now.", he shook his head.
"Right, that's a bit lame. Where do you wanna go?", Jeno agreed.
"But can we even go? What about Jeno junior?", Renjun asked, pointing down at his belly.
"Jeno junior?", Jeno asked amused. "What if it's a girl?"
"Jena junior?", Renjun said with a shrug, making both of them laugh.
"Okay, so, we know who's not gonna name our kids now.", Jeno assessed, but Renjun pouted.
"Hey, I will be the one carrying them in my body for nine months. I have the right to give them horrendous names after that!", Renjun joked and Jeno laughed again.
It was all fun and giggles, until Jeno’s eyes suddenly turned serious, giving Renjun a look of uncertainty.
"So...you actually want to have kids?", he asked and Renjun stopped laughing as well.
"I - I mean, I think so? When we're older? You know, when we both have stable jobs and...", he didn't continue talking, feeling embarrassed all of a sudden. "Do you not-?"
"No, I do! I think what you just said sounded lovely.", Jeno said quickly, giving Renjun a loving smile. "But we'll have to get married first."
"That's such an old fashioned thought. Doyoung and Taeyong aren't married.", Renjun told him.
"Oh, okay, we don't have to get married if you don't want to.", Jeno said softly.
"No, that's not what I meant, I was just joking.", Renjun quickly said. The thought of marrying Jeno actually made him feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
"So you wanna get married? Someday?", Jeno asked and Renjun nodded.
"Yes, I do.", the omega confirmed and Jeno smiled.
"Okay, I promise I'm gonna spend more than one dollar on your real engagement ring then.", Jeno said, back to joking.
"I hope you do, otherwise I might say no.", Renjun teased him back.
"You wouldn't!", Jeno gasped in betrayal.
"I would. And then me and Jeno or Jena junior will live a happy single live.", Renjun said.
"Oh, honey, don't take the kids from me.", Jeno said, voice sounding desperate.
"You can see them every second weekend.", Renjun huffed, before giggling at Jeno's sad expression. "Okay, maybe I'll forgive you for the ring. But then I want chocolate cake as our wedding cake."
"Consider it done. You can get all the chocolate cakes you want.", Jeno saluted.
They heard another couple walk along the floor outside and quickly scrambled out of the bed, trying to arrange the sheets as neatly as they had been.
When they returned to Jeno's dorm in the evening, Renjun had to say that Jeno had been right. It had been a fun day.
And while most of it had just been pretending and kidding around, Renjun felt comforted that Jeno and him seemed to be on the same page about their future. The far future, sure, as they would not get married or have kids any time soon, but nonetheless their future.
Their anniversary had felt like a dream to Mark. A warm dream he had never wanted to wake up from.
But reality eventual caught up to him. Pretty fast. Things were about to get very real for him and Donghyuck pretty soon.
He had marked the day of Donghyuck's heat in his calendar, even set an alarm on his phone that reminded him every day just how many more days till...the day.
He was nervous but confident. It was a weird feeling. He was nervous because it would be his first time to spend a heat with an omega. And the omega would be Donghyuck! But he was confident that he was gonna be fine. If his outburst on New Year’s Eve had proven anything, then that Mark, no matter how hard he slipped, would always listen to Donghyuck.
He had read up on heats on the internet - there were a lot of forums where people wrote about their heat experiences. But some of it seemed weird to Mark and the alpha didn't want to be like his moms, depending on some strangers advise about omegas.
So, he had given up on that real quick. He would rather ask Donghyuck himself if he was unsure about anything.
The days passed and Mark's phone kept blinking up with reminders. Only one more day.
He went to work out that day, thinking it would be good to let off some steam before the real thing. Donghyuck had stayed with him the last night already and Mark nearly hadn't gotten any sleep, afraid Donghyuck would go into heat early and he had to help him somehow.
But nothing had happen. Donghyuck had been feeling fine the whole day, only deciding to stay in Mark's dorm for safety measures.
"Hey.", a voice called out for him. He saw Jeno wave at him from one of the devices. Right, Donghyuck was going into heat, which meant that Renjun was also in heat, which meant that Jeno would be at the gym every day.
"Hey, Jeno. How are you?", Mark said, beginning to warm himself up with some stretches.
"Ah, fine, mostly. You know how it is when they are...you know, in heat.", Jeno said, taking a break as he watched Mark a tad bit concerned. The older's legs were shaking. "Dude, you're okay?"
"Donghyuck's at my place. I-", Mark spurted out. He couldn't keep this to himself, he needed to rant off some of his nervousness and who could he trust more than Jeno?
"Wow, Donghyuck's at your place? In heat? Again? Do you need to crash at mine?", Jeno asked, but Mark shook his head.
"No, it's not like that. We're actually...", Mark muttered and Jeno's eyes widened.
"You're spending his heat together!", he exclaimed and Mark nodded coyly.
"Yeah, he asked me...after Christmas.", Mark explained and Jeno gave him an approving smile.
"Wow, I'm happy for you two. It's a big step.", the younger said.
"I know and I know we're ready, but I'm just nervous. Have you ever-?", Mark asked.
"Oh, no! I've never done that before. The closest thing was Doyoung having his heat while I was still living at home, but yuck, he's my brother.", Jeno replied, shaking a bit at the thought of his brother in heat.
"Ah, okay. Well...I wanted to ask Taeyong but, you know, he's so busy recently with his graduation and the baby.", Mark said. "I mean, I've talked to Donghyuck about it, obviously, but you know, he's never done it before either and yeah..."
"No, I get you. You wanted to get some perspective. At least now I know who I can asked if Renjun and I ever...yeah.", Jeno said in understanding, clearing his throat at the end.
"I suppose you don't have any advise for me then?", Mark asked with a light laugh.
"Not really.", Jeno said. "But I guess it's all about communication and trust. I mean, if you've talked to Donghyuck, you should be fine. I mean, he's the one...in heat...so, he should know what to do, right?"
"Yeah.", Mark nodded. "Argh, I'm just so nervous. I thought working out might help.",
"Well, that's something I can help you with!", Jeno said. "Come on, I'll be your partner."
Jeno had been hard on him, but it was exactly what Mark had needed. Completely worn out he didn't have any energy left in his body to be nervous about tomorrow.
Donghyuck was standing in the kitchen when he came home, stewing something on the stove.
"Wow, you look like you had a good work out.", Donghyuck greeted him with a smile.
"Yeah, I've met Jeno at the gym, he made me do repetitions till I collapsed.", Mark said, letting his body drop onto the chair. "How are you feeling? Still fine?"
Mark subtly sniffed the air. By now he could smell when Donghyuck was close to heat, he was good at scent reading and he knew Donghyuck's smell like the back of his hand.
He started picking up the heat on Donghyuck this morning already, but Donghyuck had assured him that it hadn't hit him yet.
"Yeah, I feel it getting closer though. It will probably start over night.", Donghyuck answered, pouring the noodle soup he had been brewing into several bowls, sealing them before putting them in Mark's fridge, that looked a lot fuller than when he left this morning.
"Have you been cooking all day?", Mark asked astounded.
"Ah, well, I thought I'd be prepared. I mean, we both have to eat for the next three days and I'm pretty sure I won't feel up to cooking. And after your last attempt at cooking, you shouldn't either.", Donghyuck replied with a shrug, closing the fridge.
"You still want me to go to university tomorrow?", Mark asked as Donghyuck sat down opposite to him, pushing one left over bowl of soup towards him.
"Yes, Mark.", Donghyuck said. They had been over this a few times already.
"Are you really sure? I don't mind skipping a day.", Mark said.
"Yes, I'm really sure. I'm gonna be fine for a few hours. Besides, at least one of us has to go to take notes in the music lecture.", Donghyuck told him.
"I could ask Taemin or Taeyong-"
"Mark.", Donghyuck stopped him with a pointed look.
"Fine, I'll go. But you'll call me if you need anything.", Mark gave in.
"I promise.", Donghyuck said. "Now eat and take a shower. You're all sweaty."
Due to Jeno's intense work out, Mark actually slept extraordinary well that night. Donghyuck couldn't complain either, the scent of Mark this close to him did wonders for calming down his heat symptoms. It wasn't nearly as bad as he remembered his last heat had been.
The sound of Mark's alarm woke both of them up from their comfortable sleep. Mark immediately noticed the rise of pheromones in the room, much stronger than yesterday.
"Hey, Hyuckie? Are you awake?", Mark asked softly and the omega lazily opened his eyes.
"Yeah.", he mumbled, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.
"How are you feeling?", Mark questioned further.
"A bit hot. No pain yet. And hungry.", Donghyuck answered truthfully.
"Want me to bring you food?", Mark asked and Donghyuck nodded.
Having Mark around to help him was already turning out great for him. His symptoms were soothed, nowhere near the one's from his last heats and Mark was bringing him food.
"I made some fruit salad. You can have some, too.", Donghyuck requested and Mark left the bed. He scooped some fruits into a bowl for Donghyuck, grabbing a glass of water as he was at it.
Donghyuck was sitting up when he returned, accepting the bowl of fruits with a thankful smile.
"Still want me to leave?", Mark asked when he got himself ready to head out.
"I'll be fine.", Donghyuck repeated his words.
"But you'll call-"
"-if I need something. Yes, I will. Don't worry so much.", Donghyuck said. "I feel like you're having a harder time leaving than me letting you go."
"Well, maybe because it's true.", Mark admitted. "You smell insanely good right now."
Donghyuck blushed at the sudden confession.
"I'll smell the same once you come back this afternoon, okay? Now go or you'll be late.", he said, hiding his face behind a blanket.
Mark chuckled at the adorable display, but eventually grabbed his shoes, jacket and bag and left. He quickly swallowed his rut preventing pills when he walked outside - he had been taking them since yesterday, just to be sure.
He glanced back at his door one last time. It never got easier leaving him.
Donghyuck tried going back to sleep once Mark had left, but without the alpha around it was suddenly a lot harder.
He sighed in frustration. Then his eyes landed on Mark's closet. Yeah, he only needed the perfect nest and he would be back to sleep in minutes.
Rummaging through the clothes to find only the softest of fabrics he got hungry again.
Seemed like Renjun had been right after all. Staying with Mark naturally eased his strong mating symptoms. This heat was a lot more like the ones he used to have before switching pills.
He went for some cookies, not feeling tired anymore but instead just bored. He grabbed the box of cookies and Mark's laptop and started watching a movie on Mark's couch. Only last minute he realized that he had started slicking and jumped up from the couch.
He got a towel from Mark's bathroom to not get the couch wet and lied back down again, continuing watching the movie.
He got tired soon, falling asleep on the couch for a few hours.
He woke up to the worst stomach pain imaginable, curling in on himself. Ah, this sucked. He barely managed to stand up and shuffle to Mark's bedroom, automatically addicted by the smell of Mark coming from it.
He cuddled into the blankets that still held the light scent of Mark to them. A nest would be much better, but he couldn't bring himself onto his feet for now to build one because of his throbbing stomach ache.
It was like hell for an hour at least, but then it calmed down again, leaving Donghyuck time to breathe. He set up some boiling water in the kitchen for a cup of tea and then decided he better gets started on his nest now.
He had selected the best pieces of Mark's clothes, but something in this room was bothering Donghyuck. Mark's bed was...standing too straight. He needed it turned, at least thirty degrees.
Donghyuck was sweating like a waterfall. He should probably take a shower soon, as he had also slicked quite a bit into his pads. But he had to turn this bed first.
However, Mark's bed was a lot heavier than it looked and it did not help Donghyuck's sweating case that he tried to push it with all his might.
His arms felt like pudding as he sank to the floor.
Mark had hardly been able to concentrate on anything today, all his thoughts with Donghyuck. He almost sprinted the entire way back to his dorm once his last lecture was over.
When he turned his key around and opened the door, he was hit by a scent more intense than he had ever smelled before. There was water boiling on the stove and Mark quickly turned the heat down before going further into the room.
"Hyuckie?", he called, heading to his bedroom. To his surprise he didn't find the omega all cuddled up in his bed, but panting in distress on the floor.
"Mark! You need to help me! Your stupid bed won't move!", Donghyuck whined as soon as he saw the alpha.
"Why do you want to move my bed?", Mark asked cautiously, putting his bag and jacket down as he neared his boyfriend.
"Because it's too straight.", Donghyuck stated like it was obvious. And Mark surely wouldn't argue with an omega in heat.
"Okay, do you want me to move it?", Mark asked and Donghyuck nodded. Mark didn’t hesitate to roll up his sleeves and get to work.
"A bit more. No, a little back now. Stop!", Donghyuck instructed him as Mark pushed the bed around. "Now I can start my nest.", he announced, gathering Mark's clothes on the bed.
"Were you making tea? There was water boiling.", Mark asked as he silently watched Donghyuck work.
"Shit! Yeah, I was.", Donghyuck gasped - he had totally forgotten about that.
"Let me handle it.", Mark said when Donghyuck stood up from his bed.
"Are you sure?", Donghyuck asked and Mark laughed.
"Don't worry, I won't burn the kitchen down this time.", he said.
When he came back Donghyuck had made some serious progress on the nest and was just putting the last sweater in place.
The omega dived right in once he finished. Mark suddenly had a very weird feeling in his stomach as he watched him.
"Err, your tea.", he said, handing the cup to Donghyuck. "Do you need anything else?"
"Thanks. No, not right now. I should probably take a shower, though, I've been sweating like crazy.", the omega said. He gave Mark a weird look when the alpha kept standing next to his nest awkwardly. "Sit down.", he told him, patting the empty space next to him.
"R-really?", Mark's voice cracked.
"Yeah?", Donghyuck said. "Do you not want to? Do you not like it?", he added a bit anxious.
"No! No, it's nice.", Mark said, immediately sitting down next to Donghyuck.
"It's perfect.", Donghyuck corrected him and Mark smiled.
"Yeah, it is.", Mark confirmed. "So, how have you been holding up?"
"Pretty okay. I ate all the cookies and I nearly slicked on your couch. Then I had an insane stomach ache and then your stupid bed ruined my nesting plans.", Donghyuck recounted his day so far.
"Stomach ache?", Mark questioned.
"Ah, yeah, that's normal, though. I'm a lot better now.", Donghyuck told him, taking a sip from his tea before putting it on the nightstand. "How was your day?"
"Oh, I couldn't focus on anything because I kept thinking of you. Taeyong laughed at me because I ran into a trash bin.", Mark said, proud of himself when his story made Donghyuck laugh. The omega cuddled up to him, resting his head on his shoulder.
"I might get some more sleep now that you're back.", he murmured, closing his eyes.
"You want to lay down?", Mark asked and Donghyuck nodded. The alpha carefully shuffled around, pulling them into a comfortable lying position.
Now that Donghyuck was so close to him he could really feel the heat that his body was emitting. He listened in silence as the omega's breaths slowed down. Heat must be tiring. Mark didn't dare to move for the next few hours that Donghyuck was asleep.
The younger only stirred awake when it was long past dinner time.
"Slept well?", Mark asked and Donghyuck nodded, blinking at him.
"Yeah.", he said, stretching his limps. “I really need to take a shower. God, I'm messy.", Donghyuck said.
Yeah, Mark thought. He couldn't help but notice that Donghyuck had kept loosing slick while he had been asleep.
"Do you need help?", Mark asked him when he stood up.
"Nah, I'm good. Maybe you can get some food ready while I shower? Just put it in the microwave. I'm starving.", Donghyuck said and Mark nodded. He was actually pretty hungry himself.
Donghyuck joined him at the kitchen table in clean clothes about twenty minutes later, looking refreshed.
The omega couldn't take more than a few bites though as the pain in his stomach decided to return, ruining his appetite completely. Mark was by his side in seconds, rubbing his stomach in soothing circles.
"Should we get back to bed?", Mark asked him.
"Eat first, you must be hungry.", Donghyuck told him, biting his teeth together. Mark was conflicted. He felt like dying if he wouldn't eat now, but Donghyuck looked like dying if he didn't lie back down soon.
He inhaled his food in three seconds, coughing as he chocked on it - but it didn't matter. He scooped Donghyuck up from his chair and carried him back to bed. He kept rubbing his belly for hours, until eventually they both fell asleep.
Donghyuck woke up, still feeling extremely hot. And hungry. Like usual.
"Mark.", he moaned, shaking the alpha awake.
"Yeah?", Mark asked, eyes still closed.
"I'm hungry.", Donghyuck whined.
"What do you want?", Mark asked.
"Don't care.", Donghyuck said and Mark didn’t hesitate to get up.
He looked into his fridge, filled to the brim with different foods. Then he went for the only thing he knew - cereal.
He prepared a bowl for both him and Donghyuck, eating in bed as Donghyuck was snuggled into his side.
"Do you want to sleep some more?", Mark asked and Donghyuck shook his head. He wasn't tired, just hot and bothered.
“Can we watch a movie or something?", Donghyuck asked and Mark got up again, grabbing his Spiderman collection. Donghyuck groaned when he saw it, but he couldn't deny Mark when the alpha was taking such great care of him.
They were through two movies when Donghyuck felt slick actively forming in his body again. He shifted a bit. The heat was consuming his whole body by now, his skin was burning up.
"Are you okay?", Mark asked him when Donghyuck kicked the blanket away.
"Yeah, just hot.", Donghyuck said, voice breathy. He pressed his nose into Mark's neck, needing his scent closer, needing him closer.
"Hyuck, you're all...wet.", Mark said, voice horse as he noticed the big wet patch on Donghyuck's sweatpants. Donghyuck groaned, plopping himself in Mark's lap with a determined look.
"You smell so good.", he said. "Can we-?", he asked, confidence leaving him all of a sudden as he bucked his hips shyly.
Mark gulped. This was all his fantasies come true at once.
"Yes.", he agreed, getting his hands on Donghyuck's hips as he thrusted up at him.
"Feels good.", Donghyuck moaned in a soft voice, eyes falling shut. "I need you."
His hands were traveling up and down Mark's biceps. Getting the hint Mark got rid of his t-shirt, satisfied when Donghyuck's stared at him with lust in his eyes.
"You're so hot.", Mark said, pressing kisses to Donghyuck's throat down to his collarbones. Something in his head shifted as he changed their positions, making Donghyuck lie under him.
Donghyuck was so responsive, letting out tiny gasps and moans with every touch of Mark's hand. His skin was hot, so hot and Mark couldn't get enough of it. He almost ripped the clothes off of Donghyuck (but he knew Donghyuck would have his head later if he'd actually rip his underwear).
But right now Donghyuck was so pliant underneath him, encouraging him in his every moves. Mark had never been this hard before.
He kissed his way down to Donghyuck's breasts, leaving little lovebites on his path, marking Donghyuck up heavier than ever before.
"Mark!", Donghyuck cried out when Mark began sucking on his thighs. Donghyuck was lost in pleasure - the only thing he knew was that he needed more. "Mark, please.", he whispered desperately when he felt Mark's hands grab his butt. "I need you. In me. Right now. Please.", he pleaded in an airy voice and Mark actually growled at that.
"You want me?", he asked in a low tone, getting rid of his pants in the process.
"Yes. Want you. So bad.", Donghyuck replied. "Please."
Mark growled again, but he was still sane enough to grab the condoms from his nightstand drawer.
"Say my name. Say you want me.", Mark said as he got ready and Donghyuck whimpered.
"Mark. I want you. Only you. I-", Donghyuck’s blabbering turned into a long moan as Mark pushed into him in one long glide.
Mark almost lost it immediately. Donghyuck felt so, so warm and tight around him. It was a maddening feeling.
"So deep.", Donghyuck groaned, moving his body against Mark's in nothing but sheer want.
"You're all mine.", Mark grunted as he began responding to Donghyuck's movements.
"Yes, all yours.", Donghyuck whined in agreement, pressing his nails into Mark's back, trying to get a hold on something as pleasure consumed him.
"Feels good?", Mark asked, going harder and harder.
"Yeah, so good. So good, you make me feel so good.", Donghyuck replied, not really sure if what he was saying made sense anymore.
The only thing going through his head was Mark, Mark, Mark, over and over again.
"Fuck, Hyuck.", Mark groaned all off a sudden. "I think I'm gonna knot. No, I'm definitely gonna knot."
He stopped his movements for a second and Donghyuck cried out in agony.
"Shall we stop?"
"No! Keep going.", Donghyuck demanded, trying to move down on Mark on his own.
"You want my knot?", Mark asked, voice lower again as his eyes flashed dark.
"Yeah. Knot me. Do it. Please.", Donghyuck answered, groaning in relief when Mark picked up his movements again.
"I'm going to knot you.", Mark growled, not sure if it was a warning or just his lustfilled mind speaking.
"Knot me.", Donghyuck breathed out, wanting nothing more in the world right now.
Mark sped up again, driving Donghyuck insane as he reached his climax, pushing Mark over the edge as well.
They stayed still for a moment, both catching their breaths.
"H-how do you feel?", Mark asked, still hovering over Donghyuck's body as they were locked together for a few minuets from now.
"Fuck, it feels good.", Donghyuck groaned. "This only happens during heat and rut? What a shame."
Mark smiled sheepishly. He tried to move them around carefully as his arms were about to give out, making Donghyuck rest on his stomach instead.
"How do you feel?", Donghyuck asked when they were settled, snuggling into Mark's chest comfortably.
"Great. Although this is a bit impractical.", Mark replied, pointing down to their joined bodies.
"Well, I like it.", Donghyuck said, feeling too good to even be ashamed of that statement. He could fall asleep just like this.
But once Mark's knot came back down their highs were over, only leaving the messy bed. It was worth it though, Donghyuck thought. He had never felt better during a heat.
They were well attuned to each other after that. This and the next day they spent with a lot of cuddling and sleeping and eating and – admittedly - also a lot of sex.
It felt like Donghyuck's heat passed by in seconds and after a long shower on Sunday evening, it was time for Donghyuck to leave.
His heat had broken earlier that day and they had spend most of the afternoon cleaning up Mark's bed.
"You sure you don't want to spend one more night here?", Mark asked, pressing a kiss to Donghyuck's lips as the omega got ready to leave.
"I promised Renjun I would be home Sunday evening.", Donghyuck said. "I have to go."
"Well...if you have to.", Mark sighed, kissing Donghyuck one more time.
"Thanks...for everything.", Donghyuck said coyly when Mark walked him back to his dorm.
"Oh, don't worry. I...liked it.", Mark replied.
"So...you wouldn't mind...helping out again for my next heat?", Donghyuck asked.
"Do you really have to ask? I'm gonna spend all your heats with you, if you want that.", Mark said and Donghyuck smiled at him. "But maybe...we could start sharing my ruts first?"
Donghyuck turned his head towards Mark.
"You really want that?", Donghyuck asked and Mark nodded with a sheepish smile. "I'd love that."
"We'd still have two months till then, so no hurries.", Mark said, holding Donghyuck's hand a bit tighter.
"Yeah. Let's talk about this more tomorrow, okay? We can have lunch together?", Donghyuck asked and Mark nodded with a soft smile.
They had reached the building now.
"See you tomorrow.", Mark said, pressing a loving kiss to Donghyuck's lips.
"I'll think of you.", Donghyuck winked at him as he went inside.
Mark sighed. He couldn't wait for tomorrow.
Renjun's heat had been pretty uneventful. It was weird not having Donghyuck around. Funny, when he thought back to when they had first shared their heat in this room together and he had felt a bit awkward about it. But now being alone during a heat was a miserable feeling. Probably designed by nature to make them all mate and reproduce.
Renjun actually felt a bit jealous of Mark and Donghyuck. They were together, probably having the time of their life. Meanwhile Renjun was stuck in his bed all alone.
At least he had Jeno's clothes to keep him calm. He breathed in the scent lingering on them.
He wished Jeno was here. Jeno would make him feel better. Jeno would-
Wait, what?
Renjun sat up straight in his bed all of a sudden. Sure, he had thought about Jeno during his heat. But he had never though about Jeno being with him during his heat.
His cheeks turned hot.
But...he didn't feel afraid.
Was that what he wanted? Spending his heat with Jeno? He thought for a moment, waiting for his insecurities to overcome him, to feel panic rise in his chest and his heartbeat speed up uncontrollably.
But none of that happened. He was surprisingly calm. Seemed like he wanted to spend his heat with Jeno. The only question now was...did Jeno want that, too?
Renjun had been standing outside Jeno's door for at least twenty minutes. His heat had stopped Saturday, so Sunday he had dedicated to clean up before Donghyuck would come back this evening.
He had just finished washing Jeno's clothes and came down here to return them. And...to talk.
After the thought had first crossed his mind, Renjun couldn't stop thinking about it. What would Jeno have to say? Would he agree? Would he think they were ready?
For the past twenty minutes he hadn't brought up the courage to find out, instead staring at Jeno's door as if his gaze alone could somehow knock it down.
This was ridiculous. Renjun took a deep breath. And then he screamed as the door swung open in front of him.
"Renjun!", Jeno said in surprise as Renjun calmed down from his shock.
"I'm sorry, wow, that just scared the hell out of me.", Renjun said, heart still beating fast.
"I'm sorry, I was actually just on my way up to you. I thought you might need some help cleaning up?", Jeno asked.
"Oh, err...I'm already done. I came to bring back your clothes.", Renjun replied and Jeno stepped aside so he could come in.
"You didn't have to. I could've washed them myself.", Jeno said as he went to store them back into his closet.
"Ah, no, I was the one that ruined them in the first place.", Renjun denied.
Jeno turned back around to him once he was done with his clothes.
"So, how are you feeling?", he asked, sitting down on his bed.
"Fine, mostly.", Renjun said. Like a train-wreck, he thought.
"Mostly?", Jeno pried, patting down next to him. Renjun took the invitation and sat down.
"Yeah...err...Donghyuck spent his heat with Mark. So...I was feeling a bit lonely.", Renjun replied.
"Oh, yeah, Mark told me about that. He seemed pretty nervous about it, so I wore him out at the gym.", Jeno told him, but Renjun couldn't even manage a laugh.
"H-how would you f-feel?", Renjun stuttered, eyes focused on Jeno's fuzzy socks.
"How would I feel? About what?", Jeno asked a bit confused.
"Sp-spending a heat w-with someone.", Renjun said, hoping his face wasn't turning too red.
"Nervous as well, I think. Wouldn't you?", Jeno shrugged.
Nervous. Nervous wasn't bad. At least it wasn't appalled. Or afraid.
"I...how would you feel about spending a heat with me?", Renjun asked instead of answering.
"Renjun.", Jeno said, gently pulling his head towards him so their eyes could meet. "What do you really want to tell me?"
"I want you to spend my next heat with me.", Renjun said quickly. There, it was out now. He said it.
"You're not just saying this because Donghyuck and Mark did it, are you? Because if you think that I'm expecting it now only because they did it - I'm not. I can wait for you. I've proofed that to you, haven't I?", Jeno asked and Renjun turned his head away again.
"No, it's not because of them. The thought just...crossed my mind and...I couldn't stop thinking about it. I know you can wait and I can wait, too, if you think we're not ready. But I really think we are and...I would really like it if you could spend my next heat with me.", the omega rambled, giving Jeno a shy glance.
"Are you sure about this?", Jeno asked.
"Yes.", Renjun said, gaze now steady. "And we have four more months to built up to it, to see if we're really ready. We can take little steps again.", he added and Jeno smiled at him.
"Yes. That sounds good.", the alpha agreed.
"So, will you spend my next heat with me?", Renjun asked to be sure.
"If that's what you want. I think we're ready.", Jeno replied, still smiling.
Renjun felt a weight drop off his shoulders.
"Great.", he said and Jeno's heart melted when Renjun smiled cutely at him.
He couldn't wait for their future to come.
When Donghyuck returned to their dorm he found Renjun sitting on the couch, staring out of the window in deep thoughts.
"Hey. I'm back.", he announced himself and Renjun turned around, giving him a happy smile.
"Hey! How was it? Tell me everything.", Renjun said and Donghyuck quickly joined him on the couch.
"So, at first it was pretty normal. Mark was great, bringing me food and cuddling me to sleep. And then...", Donghyuck wiggled his eyebrows.
"Oh, I can imagine.", Renjun said, eyes dropping to Donghyuck's throat. "Was he attacking you?"
Donghyuck snorted.
"Well, it felt amazing.", he said before giggling. "He knotted me."
"He- what?!", Renjun gasped, face heating up.
"It happens during heats and ruts!", Donghyuck said, smiling at Renjun's shocked expression. "And you're gonna love it. Never felt so good during a heat."
"Well, glad you enjoyed yourself.", Renjun huffed.
"You bet I did.", Donghyuck chuckled. "We're going to spend his next rut together as well."
"Wow, that's great for you guys. Just don't do it here.", Renjun said and Donghyuck laughed.
"Don't worry, I wasn't planning on doing it here.", the younger said. "What about you? Anything interesting happened?"
"I asked Jeno to spend my next heat with me.", Renjun muttered shyly and Donghyuck squealed.
"Oh my god! Seriously?", he asked excitedly.
"Yeah. It felt right.", Renjun said.
"Well, if you think you're ready, I say go for it! It's honestly great.", Donghyuck told him. Then he sighed. "Ah, look at us, all grown up now."
"I know, right? I was just thinking about how much has changed since we came here.", Renjun said, looking out of the window again.
"We both are happily dating now.", Donghyuck started.
"New friends. And lot's of them.", Renjun continued.
"Well, technically Jaemin is still an old friend. We went to middle school together.", Donghyuck said.
"Okay, so Jaemin's an old friend. But everybody else isn't.", Renjun said.
"Oh my god, do you remember the whole Changbin-Jaemin proposal? That was crazy.", Donghyuck said and Renjun laughed at the memory.
"Remember Yangyang's weird art project that nobody understood?", Renjun asked in return.
"Oh my god, yes!”, Donghyuck gasped. “Do you remember Yuta straight up smooching Sicheng on stage!"
"Yes! I felt so betrayed! I've been telling Sicheng to ask him out for months!", Renjun said. "Do you remember when Xiaojun lived here?"
"Of course, hah, I miss him.", Donghyuck sighed. "Can't believe he's going out with Hendery now."
"Hey, do you remember Doyoung pretending to hate Taeyong?", Renjun chuckled at the memory.
"Right! I can't believe they're having a baby now! Like, an actual baby!", Donghyuck exclaimed.
"Do you remember brooding over Mark because you two were fighting each other our first weeks here?", Renjun said. Feeling attacked Donghyuck countered:
"Do you remember hiding in here because you lost a little slick at Jeno's first basketball tryouts?", the younger said and Renjun laughed at his dramatic old self.
"A lot has changed.", Renjun concluded.
"It really has.” Donghyuck agreed, smiling at all the fond memories they had created. “But one thing will never change.", he added, grabbing Renjun's hand and intertwining their finger.
"We're always gonna be best friends."
