Chapter Text
"What?" Satoru asked again, completely dumbfounded. He was sure Yaga was playing with him even though the joke wasn't funny at all.
Yaga sighed "I told you Satoru, he killed the entire village. He left for the mission and when he didn't return the assistant went to look for him'' Yaga sounded exhausted but he continued ''They found him in the village, everyone except for two sorcerer girls was dead. Apparently, the girls were being tortured but that is beyond the point right now.''
They were standing in the school hallway, bright yellow light came in pouring from the window.
Satoru’s ears were ringing.
It didn't matter how many times Yaga repeated the same thing, it made no sense to him. Why would someone as principled as Suguru just kill a bunch of innocent people? Satoru felt like they were missing a key part of the story that would make it make sense and bring everything back to normal.
Satoru shook his head ''I need to see him, I need to talk to him. Where are you keeping him?''
''You can't see him Satoru!'' Yaga said, raising his voice in a way that made Satoru know he was being serious. ''Don't you get it? He is no longer a student, he is a curse user and is due to be executed. You absolutely cannot see him.''
Yaga's words felt like ice ''Executed? No way! This is Suguru we are talking about!''
Yaga didn't answer him, didn't move. The other alpha wouldn't even meet his eyes.
Satoru walked closer to Yaga and said ''There has to be something we can do. We can't just let him die.'' There was a hint of desperation in his voice as he was trying to get any kind of support from his teacher.
''I'm sorry Satoru but the law is clear,'' Yaga clenched his jaw ''Suguru's parents are non-sorcerers and he is an unmated omega, he has no one who would defend him against the higher-ups even if he somehow managed to explain himself.''
Yaga's face showed no emotion but Satoru could hear the strain in his voice. ''I don't want this any more than you do. He made his choice and now he will have to pay for it. Don't make this any harder than it already is.''
With that the alpha walked away leaving Satoru alone in the hall. He watched the other alpha walk away in disbelief as if he was frozen in time. Was there nothing he could do?
Satoru shook his head, he knew someone who could help him.
*
''No,'' The alpha said while looking at her perfectly manicured nails.
''Mei Mei please,'' Gojo had been trying to convenience her for the past 20 minutes to no avail. They were in one of the many offices the school had, Mei Mei had been reading some documents about her next mission when Satoru burst through the door asking for help.
''Didn’t he kill a bunch of people? It doesn't seem like he regrets it either." Mei Mei shifted her attention to the files in front of her, Satoru didn't understand how everyone was so unconcerned. This was Suguru they were talking about.
"Okay so he had a bit of a slip-up, it doesn’t mean he should be executed!’’ Satoru pleaded, he was growing desperate. The young alpha knew the higher-ups didn’t like him and they would not be on his side so Mei Mei was his safest bet. If she, a grade one sorcerer, supported him then the chances of getting Suguru out of a death sentence were higher.
Mei Mei scoffed "A slip-up? That’s an understatement’’ She flipped through the pages of her files with one hand. The conversation was going in circles and Satoru was not any closer to helping Suguru. To the young alpha, every passing second felt like his best friend was slipping out of his hands.
"I understand I’m asking for a lot but…’’
Silence.
He started but didn’t continue, he wanted to say something more but couldn’t think of anything he hadn’t said already.
When it became clear to her that Satoru wasn’t going to say anything she put her files down and looked up at him, she was expecting to find the careless demeanor the young alpha usually had but instead, she saw a distressed look.
She sighed and said "What are you even asking for, Gojo?’’
The young alpha looked down to the floor and put his hands in his pockets. It was easy to forget he was just a teenager when he was so strong and acted so mighty, right now though he looked just like a lost child to Mei Mei.
"There has to be a way to stop his execution, there must be something we can do.’’ It sounded more like he was convincing himself rather than Mei Mei. The female alpha thought about it for a second. Everything was a calculated risk for her and in times like this, she had to choose her allies and her enemies carefully.
Ultimately, she thought, Satoru wasn’t the kind of person she would want as an enemy so she decided to help him in the only way she could think of that wouldn’t put her on the council’s bad side.
"I don’t think he will be executed. After all, rumor has it the Zenin clan has their eyes on him," Mei Mei noted. Satoru lifted his face, his troubled blue eyes staring at her.
"Huh? What does the Zenin clan have to do with this?’’
Mei Mei clicked her tongue "Now, I don’t know exactly what they want him for but I imagine it’s something related to his cursed technique. After all, he is an unmated omega and his technique is incredibly powerful,’’ Mei Mei said, watching closely at Satoru’s confused face.
He didn’t reply, he understood that was all the help Mei Mei was willing to give and whatever the Zenin clan wanted with Suguru wasn’t good, Satoru knew he had no time to lose.
Wordlessly, he dashed towards the door.
The female alpha did not try to stop him, she only watched as the young student left the room.
Once alone, she said "Good luck Gojo, maybe you’ll get to him before they do’’.
—---
Satoru rushed out of the office, it felt necessary for him to get out of there as soon as possible but the alpha soon realized he didn’t actually know where to go or even what to do. He still couldn’t figure out how to save Suguru from his death sentence and now he also had the Zennin clan to worry about.
What could the Zennin clan possibly want Suguru’s cursed technique for? They had many good sorcerers who could exorcise curses on their own, they didn’t need Suguru’s help. So why did Mei Mei say they had their eyes on him?
Satoru’s head flashed with the image of Toji Fushiguro’s last words, what was it that he said? Ah yes, his kid would be sold to the Zenin clan.
Why was he thinking about that now?
Satoru walked aimlessly on the school grounds. He needed to clear his mind.
He had to come up with a plan fast if he really meant to save the omega. He figured if no one would stand up for Suguru in front of the higher-ups he would simply do it alone and they would have to listen because he was the strongest. But, even if he took Suguru’s side there was no guarantee they would stop his execution, and there was always the possibility they would take it out on the omega if the Satoru threatened to retaliate.
Ultimately, he decided to try Yaga again, maybe he could find a way to convenience him.
Satoru went inside one of the buildings. As he walked toward Yaga’s office he heard voices and laughter coming from behind one of the closed doors.
Satoru put his ear against the door but he couldn’t recognize the voices or make out what they were saying, slowly, very carefully, so as to not be noticed he slid the door open.
Peeking inside he found Gakuganji and Zenin Naobito chatting over some tea.
"Now that’s what happens when you don’t keep an omega in check. They are too emotional.’’ Gakuganji said, shaking his head in disapproval.
"That’s what I always say, omegas shouldn’t be sorceres. That kid needs someone to fuck some sense into him, teach him to submit,’’ Naobito replied as he brought his teacup to his lips.
What?
"I am convinced this arrangement will be most beneficial for everyone involved, I know the young alpha will waste no time training the omega,’’ Gakuganji continued. "Maybe if we’re lucky, we will get a pup with the ten shadows technique.’’
Naobito laughed. "With Naoya, I’m sure there will be enough pups for every family technique.’’
Naobito was seated across from Gakuganji, his back to Satoru. They seemed to be acquainted based on their friendly demeanor and casual conversation.
The alpha continued, "And not just the ten shadows, I expect the Geto boy to birth a pup with his curse manipulation technique/’’
They were talking about…Suguru?.
Gakuganji scoffed. ‘’It’s a pity I have an omega already, if I could, I would take him for myself. I know he is brand new.’’
Satoru’s face wrinkled in disgust.
Naobito threw his head back in laughter. "You’re right about that, I bet he tastes as sweet as he looks. That omega has no business being a sorcerer, he should be on his knees in front of me.’’
It was Gakuganji’s turn to laugh. "Now Naobito, binding his cursed energy is bad enough. To stand your nasty musk would make the poor thing go even crazier.’’
So they were closer than he originally thought. Satoru was repulsed by their conversation and the vulgar way they spoke of Suguru. Just what on earth were they talking about?
"Whatever happened to him anyway? Did he ever say why he killed those people?’’ Naobito asked.
Gakuganji scoffed, "He said some nonsense about jujutsu being a marathon but you know how it is with omegas, they don’t have a lot going on up ther.e’’ They both laughed like the old alpha had said the funniest thing.
"Jokes aside, Gakuganji,’’ Naobito said, leaning closer to the other alpha "The clan will remember this and we will not overlook this favor.’’
Satoru saw the pleased look on Gakuganji’s face as he said "Geto will be a valuable asset for the Zenin clan, he is a worthy mate for Naoya and in turn, I know he’ll keep him under control.’’
Everything clicked into place.
Oh. oh.
So they weren’t thinking of executing Suguru. It was a fate worse than death.
They wanted to pup him, to reduce one of the most powerful sorcerers into a breeding slave for the Zenin clan. These pigs didn’t care for Suguru, they just wanted him to birth a pup with his technique, sired by none other than Naoya.
Disgusting. He knew the other alpha fairly well, he never bothered to hide his desire for Suguru and just about every other thing with a pulse. He had tried to sweet-talk the omega before but Suguru had chewed him out and told him to get lost, obviously, Naoya didn’t take this too kindly but he was forced to step back when Suguru summoned a curse and threatened to fight him.
Back then Satoru thought the whole thing was hilarious. It wasn’t funny anymore.
His head flashed with images of the Zenin bastard running his hands on Suguru’s helpless body, the omega being forced to submit, his body heavy with pups he didn’t want, a lifetime bonded to Naoya, incapable of denying him.
He felt like his blood was boiling, he didn’t need to hear anything else. Silently, he walked in the opposite direction of Yaga’s office and out of the building.
He had a plan now.
An unmated omega, huh?
Not for long.
*
Sneaking into Shoko’s office was surprisingly easy.
It wasn’t technically her office, it had been an empty classroom that Shoko had filled with books and plants and other weird stuff Satoru didn’t bother to question. The place was messy and cramped with open books and unused test tubes lying around and it had a lingering smell of herbs and dust.
Satoru had been lucky that Shoko wasn’t there as he really didn’t feel like explaining himself. Still, he had to hurry if he didn’t want to push his luck.
Satoru rummaged through the books looking specifically for one about secondary genders.
Now, where could it be?
The alpha never paid much attention in class when it came to secondary genders, he knew the basics like omegas get heats, alphas pop knots during their ruts and before claiming, betas are more resistant to scents but are still affected by them, yada yada. What he did remember very clearly is that omegas need to be in heat in order to be claimed and the mating bite is usually done right before knotting as the bite is apparently excruciating.
Satoru went over a couple of books but they all seemed to repeat what he already knew. He went over every paragraph that mentioned a heat but it didn’t mention what he was looking for.
No, Satoru didn’t need to know how heats worked, he needed to find a way to trigger a heat as fast as possible. Defeatedly, he collapsed onto the floor in front of one of the bookshelves.
His plan was less than perfect to begin with. He depended entirely on finding a way to induce Suguru’s heat and claim him before anybody even noticed he was gone.
It made sense, if he claimed Suguru and the omega claimed him back then they wouldn’t be able to execute Suguru without also killing him in the process. He knew he was too valuable for this to happen. It was an extra bonus that neither Naoya nor anyone else for that matter would be able to claim or touch Suguru.
Basically, if they bonded, they would spend the rest of their lives together, they would spend their cycles together, and they would always need each other. No one could separate them.
He had to believe in his Suguru, he had to be the one to stand up for him even if no one else did. At the very least, he had to give him the chance to fight.
Just before he could resume his search, he caught a glimpse of a strange leather-bound book beneath the bookshelf. Had he dropped it?
The alpha picked it up, it was an old book on herbs and their many uses like healing, cursing, poisoning,, and such. It seemed like the kind of knowledge that would be dangerous in the wrong hands. No wonder Shoko kept it out of sight.
He found a section dedicated exclusively to omegas and smiled.
This might be just what he was looking for.
—-
It hadn’t been hard to find the omega. Satoru could easily track him by scent.
That’s how he found himself in front of a closed office door, holding a filled teacup in one hand.
He wasn’t nervous, on the contrary, he felt quite calm. He was a bit stressed before but that was only because he didn’t know what to do, now that he had a clear plan all that was left was to execute it. The alpha thought he knew his best friend well enough to talk to him.
Without giving it much thought he opened the door.
He found Suguru sitting down on a couch facing the window. Sunlight was pouring from it, making the omega’s loose hair look brown under it. Satoru was reminded of how beautiful the omega was.
"Satoru? I didn’t think they would let you come see me,’’ Suguru said.
"They didn’t, I just had to talk to you,’’ Satoru replied and locked the door behind him.
"Are the girls okay? I asked but they won’t tell me anything.’’
Girls? What girls?
Suddenly, he remembered Yaga had said something about two sorcerer girls from the village.
Worry about yourself first, he thought.
"Ah. I think Yaga mentioned them, he didn’t say much but if they are with him they should be fine’’
Suguru sighed as he moved his face towards the window, away from Satoru. He should’ve known better than to expect a real answer from the alpha.
The omega had his hands in his lap and Satoru realized he was handcuffed. He knew these handcuffs very well. They were used to bind cursed energy, making it impossible for whoever was wearing them to use any kind of cursed technique or even summon the smallest amount of cursed energy.
They were strong enough to hold someone but in turn, a strong enough sorcerer could easily remove them. No wonder they wanted to keep Satoru away.
"Like I said, we need to talk,’’ The alpha said, trying to get Suguru’s attention, he walked across the room to sit in front of Suguru, putting the teacup down on the table between them.
"I don’t regret what I did,’’ The omega said, anticipating whatever the alpha wanted to talk about.
"Huh?’’ Satoru said with a confused look on his face. "Okay? We can talk about that later, I overheard Gakuganji and Naobito-’’
"Didn’t you hear me? I said I don’t regret what I did, Satoru’’ The omega interrupted him, trying to make a point.
"Loud and clear, princess. But we have more pressing matters at the moment,’’ Satoru insisted, "Can I talk now? Good. Anyway, I overheard Gukaganji and Naobito talking and-’’
"I know I will be executed for my actions and I’m ready to face my punishment,’’ Suguru interrupted again.
Oh how honorable, how self-righteous, how very Suguru.
"I did what I had to do and if I have to die because of it then so be it.’’ The omega’s face was set. He looked just like a monk, maybe even like a martyr. Of course, Suguru of all people would find higher meaning in dying for some nonsense.
Satoru’s already thin patience was starting to run out.
"Will you get off your high horse of moral superiority and just listen?’’ Satoru didn’t even try to hide the irritation in his voice.
"If you’re trying to get me to apologize to get a lighter sentence or whatever I’m letting you know you’re wasting your time’’
Prideful idiot. Satoru thought.
"Oh, death would be a much lighter sentence, trust me.’’ Satoru smiled with a mean, sarcastic grin and said "They are not planning on killing you, they want Naoya to breed you so you can pop some bastards for them’’
"I- what?’’
Finally. That got his attention.
"As I was trying to tell you,’’ The alpha said irritably "I overheard Gakuganji and Zenin Naobito talking earlier and they were talking about you. They arranged some kind of crooked deal for Naoya to pup you. Apparently, they are hoping you’ll produce some strong heirs with your technique or any of the Zenin family ones.’’
Suguru furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "They…won’t execute me? They are planning to get me pregnant ?’’ he asked, his voice filled with disgust.
The omega always acted fairly so he assumed everyone else would act the same way too. He couldn’t imagine what horrible life awaited him at the hands of such a barbarous alpha, imprisoned in his state surrounded by his archaic family.
Suguru knew perfectly well the Zenin clan held little to no regard for omegas and treated them only as toys or incubators.
Or both, Suguru thought. If what Satoru said was true then a death sentence would have been much more merciful.
"But not to worry,’’ Satoru said as if sensing the omega’s spiraling thoughts. "I came up with a plan that will keep you safe from Naoya while also sparing your life.’’
Suguru eyed him with a weary, questioning look but Satoru only smiled and said "Easy! You mate with me’’
Mate Satoru?
"This isn’t the time for jokes.’’
"I’m not joking,’’ The alpha said with mock offense. "I tried talking to Yaga and Mei Mei but they didn’t help, all they said was ‘Sigiri is an inmitid omigi’ but then Gakuganji said the same thing so it got me thinking. All we have to do is mate! Then they cannot touch you.’’
Satoru was still smiling. How could the alpha look so calm?
When Suguru didn’t speak the alpha decided to push his explanation further "Look, the Zenin clan is strong but they won’t go against me or my clan, they know it’s a losing battle. You don’t have to worry about Naoya.’’
Suguru felt more tired than he had in years, mate Satoru or give himself to Naoya? Were those really his only options?
More silence. Had Satoru not been clear enough?
"We mate,’’ he said slowly, clasping his hands together "They cannot separate us or give you to another alpha if we are bonded, you cannot be executed either. It’s a win-win.’’
"I understood the first time Satoru,’’ The omega said tiredly. "Let’s say I entertain this ridiculous plan. We cannot bond, I’m not in heat’’
As if he just remembered it, Satoru signaled at the tea on the table.
‘’That’s what this is for, it’s a heat inducer. You’ll be in heat after you drink it.’’
Suguru eyed the cup in front of him suspiciously. "How did you even get this?’’
"That’s what you’re worried about?’’ The alpha asked incredulously. "I found the recipe in one of Shoko’s books and I brewed it myself but don’t worry! It’s completely safe!’’
Maybe. The alpha thought but chose not to say it.
Suguru looked at the alpha, then at the cup, and then back to the alpha.
"You really are serious.’’
"Of course, I am. And I don’t think it’s a bad deal considering your other option is to become Naoya’s whore’’
Suguru raised an eyebrow. ''So instead I can become your whore?''
Satoru scoffed. ''Don't flatter yourself omega, '' he looked up and down at Suguru ''I have no interest in you. If you would rather die or fuck Zenin Naoya than mate me then go ahead. Suit yourself.''
Just as he stood up to leave he was interrupted by the omega.
''Wait,'' Suguru said. ''There is something I don't understand.''
Satoru was looking right at the omega, he noticed the deep, dark circles under his eyes, had he lost weight too? How come he didn't notice this before?
''You're bonding with me for life,'' Suguru continued.
"Yes, I thought we’d been through this.’’
"I am a criminal, there will be consequences for you.’’
The alpha was silent.
"You’re giving away your freedom. Not to mention your clan probably has some qualified omega waiting for you to mate them,’’ Suguru kept pushing ‘’Why do all this? What’s in it for you?’’
"Are you seriously asking me that?" Whatever little patience Satoru had was completely gone. ''Do you honestly think I give a fuck about what my clan wants? Do you even understand the position you’re in?’’
The alpha had an incredulous smile on his face.
''You’re about to become Naoya’s little breeding bitch but you care more about what's in it for me,'' Satoru laughed, he felt a rush of anger building in his chest. ''Shit Suguru. I didn’t know you thought so little of me.''
"But okay, I’ll answer. I don’t want my best friend to be sold off to the Zenin clan like a piece of meat. Even if you somehow managed to escape the Zenin clan you’d still be up for execution.’’
Satoru spoke with no humor in his voice. "Pray tell, special grade curse user Geto Suguru. Do you think they would ask Yaga to kill you? Maybe even Gakungaji himself? Nanami? Shoko?’’ Satoru said their names in a joking voice. "You can't possibly be that stupid."
Satoru stared right into his eyes, his blue eyes blazing in anger. "They would ask me to kill you, Suguru. I just can't do that."
Satoru stared at him expectantly, as if his motives couldn’t be more obvious and he was just waiting for Suguru to connect the dots. When the omega didn’t say anything, Satoru continued.
"You are my best friend, the only one I’ve ever had’’ The alpha didn't look angry anymore, just mildly annoyed.
More silence.
"I love you Suguru." He spoke like this was the most obvious fact in the world "You can't ask me to kill you, you can't ask me to sit back and watch Zenin Naoya claim you. You know how they treat omegas. I could never forgive myself.''
Suguru furrowed his brows in confusion, had Satoru just said he loved him? They had been best friends but now he wasn't sure where they stood. Were they still friends? Former friends? Enemies?
Mates, he thought.
Satoru exhaled dramatically as if he hadn't just confessed to his best friend and dropped himself back onto the couch. He felt stupid for not anticipating that Suguru would choose not to mate with him.
Suguru’s eyes were still on him though, his face unreadable.
"Is this really what you want? You will never have a mate."
"You would be my mate, Suguru.’’
The omega was quiet again as if he were lost in thought.
Silently, he reached for the tea on the table.
Satoru raised an eyebrow.
The omega spoke ''You seem to think I'm joking, you act like what happened at the village was a mistake and not a deliberate act,'' He chuckled. ''Well it wasn't, I've made peace with it and with myself.''
He met the alpha’s eyes and said, "I don’t regret what I did, my only regret is that I got caught.’’
The omega brought the tea to his lips and chugged it down.
When he finished, he said ''I will do whatever I have to do to rid this world of curses and the disgusting monkeys that spawn them.'' It was more to himself than to the alpha.
Satoru eyed him curiously. That was a whole other can of worms he would have to open eventually.
For now, though, his fate was sealed. The tea would take effect in a couple of hours, but by the time they even noticed Suguru was gone, Satoru would have claimed him already. No Naoya and no executions.
It was the best possible outcome and yet the resolved look on Suguru’s face made him feel like he'd lost somehow.
Satoru felt a rush of anger.
After everything he had done to spare the omega's life? He wanted to say something hurtful, spiteful, anything to get a reaction out of Suguru.
Instead, he looked at him over his sunglasses and in all seriousness said ''I'll be gentle.''
This ended up being more effective than any insult. Suguru looked thrown off by the comment, his face dropped and he opened his mouth but before he could say anything Satoru beat him to it.
The alpha walked towards the omega and using the bare amount of cursed energy he undid the handcuffs.
‘’We have no time, I don’t know how long it’ll be before they come for you but we should get out of here quickly.’’
*
They took no time heading to the alpha’s room.
Satoru opened the door to let Suguru in. It should have been unceremonious, the omega had been in his room many times before but this time it was different.
The air between was heavy with unspoken implications.
Awkwardly, they both stood there, avoiding each other’s eyes. Neither of them attempted to speak or make a move to sit down.
It certainly didn’t help that Satoru’s bed was the only place to sit.
Suguru swallowed drily, he wasn’t in heat yet but he could feel its warmth slowly building up under his skin and his breathing became slightly labored. The alpha did his best to pretend not to notice, he wiggled his fingers and looked at everything in the room other than Suguru.
The breaking point was when the omega unconsciously started letting out sweet-smelling pheromones.
He smelled delicious.
Satoru couldn’t stand being in the room anymore, he didn’t want to think about claiming his best friend. Suffocated, he said, "I have to go grab us food and water so um, just stay here okay? Don’t go anywhere.’’
He could order the omega not to leave but it seemed pointless. He was about to go into heat, he wouldn’t be so stupid as to leave.
Suguru was starting to sweat a little bit more. He gave a small nod, the alpha gave him one last unreadable look and walked out the door.
Outside the sun had started to set, Satoru took a deep breath trying to fill his lungs with as much clear air as possible but it was pointless, the omega’s sweet scent was carved into his brain and he longed for more and more of it now. He sighed, he should get going fast before he ran into anyone.
*
The omega was happy to be left alone, even for a moment. Mortifying as it was, he wanted his omega to take over. It wouldn’t matter if it was Satoru who was mating him or not. Any alpha would do and he would be too lost in pleasure to care.
He shuddered. The thought wasn’t as comforting as he expected it to be.
A couple minutes after Satoru had left, Suguru started feeling too weak to stand, he moved slowly towards Satoru’s bed feeling a familiar wetness settle between his legs.
He sighed, being in heat was awful.
Then again, he never had an alpha help him through it before.
Not an alpha. He thought, Satoru.
Suguru sighed again before throwing himself on the mattress.
In hindsight, maybe he shouldn't have done that because suddenly he was enveloped by the alpha’s scent. He breathed all in and let out a small moan. Damn it, he thought. He hadn’t felt a heat so strongly since he presented.
The omega lay there for what felt like forever, feeling his pants get wetter as the heat took over his body.
Maybe it was the tea or maybe it was the alpha’s scent. He didn’t know but he didn’t feel like thinking about it, not when the room was getting hotter and hotter. His clothes felt restrictive and uncomfortable, it felt impossible to think straight when all he could feel was Satoru.
Satoru, Satoru, Satoru.
Where was the alpha? He smelled so good and yet Suguru was all alone. He buried his face in the pillow, needing more of the alpha’s mouth-watering scent. He then pressed his hips into the mattress, trying to relieve the growing pressure.
That’s how the alpha found him. Humping his bed while clinging tightly to the pillows.
The room smelled like sweet slick mixed with the omega’s scent, it made his dick harden in his pants like he was in a rut.
"Alpha?’’ Slugishly, the omega raised his head. Suguru’s hair was messy from rubbing his head against the pillow, his eyes glossy with unshed tears. It seemed the tea was stronger than he thought. Suguru was in full-blown heat and it hadn’t even been 20 minutes.
There was a hint of fear in the air, despite being in heat Satoru could feel how scared the omega was at being seen like this. Vulnerable and needy.
Satoru wouldn’t say it out loud but Suguru looked incredibly hot.
The alpha swallowed dry. "Oh Suguru,’’ he swallowed. Slowly, he dropped the bags of food to the floor. He didn’t want to make any sudden movements that might startle the omega. "I’m not going to hurt you, Suguru. I’m only here to help’’
Satoru started letting out pheromones of his own now. Alluring and dominating, he wanted the omega to recognize him as an alpha. Anyone who smelled the air between them would know immediately what was about to happen.
No point in waiting, he took his shirt and his pants off as he moved towards the bed.
Suguru’s breathing got heavier, he could smell the alpha’s arousal easily.
Maybe now that Satoru had the omega so willingly laid out in front of him, he could admit to himself he had been a little in love with his best friend. Sometimes he even dared to picture him like this.
He couldn’t help it, every time Suguru took time off from missions because of his heat Satoru would start thinking about how Suguru was doing. If he was okay, if was in pain. He imagined the omega’s sweet moans, how hot his body must be, whether he was using toys or his fingers.
He imagined Suguru’s tight pussy squeezing his knot and milking him dry.
He imagined it but he never dared hope. Suguru was his best friend after all and he didn’t know how the omega would react if he offered to help him through his heat. So he never did.
Satoru thought they had all the time in the world anyway. How naive of him.
Don’t think about it.
"Suguru’,’ The alpha kneeled on the bed, he was now only in his underwear and the omega couldn’t stop his wandering eyes from moving down from Satoru’s pretty face to his muscled body and then to see the silhouette of his hard cock through his boxers.
The omega bit his lip.
"Can you undress or do you want my help?’’ He was close enough to touch but he didn’t dare make the first move yet.
The omega didn’t answer, he was red in the face. Slowly he moved to remove his shirt, then his pants but he stopped at his underwear.
Satoru put one hand on the omega’s waist, his skin felt like it was burning under the alpha’s touch but his scent was still laced with fear. He needed to calm him down first.
Satoru leaned forward and brushed his lips against the omega’s. It was the first time they kissed.
The alpha pressed his lips harder as he moved his hand to grip the omega’s hip.
Suguru gasped at the contact, giving the alpha access into his mouth. Satoru tasted the omega’s tongue with his own, their chaste kiss quickly escalating.
It was messy and inexperienced but they were both content with just exploring each other’s mouths. Eventually, Satoru pulled back.
The omega was looking back at him with half-lidded eyes, his mouth was open and his lips were shiny with spit and drool. He already looked fucked out and all they did was kiss.
Satoru smiled at the sight. He gave the omega a quick peck on the lips and moved to his jaw, leaving a trail of sweet, small kisses from his chin to his ear before licking a stripe down the omega’s neck.
Suguru moaned. The alpha couldn’t wait to find what other sounds his omega could make.
Satoru was painfully hard but he couldn’t take the omega yet, he wanted Suguru to be wet and willing for it. He continued mouthing and licking at his neck, making Suguru whimper when he felt the alpha’s teeth brush against his scent gland.
Satoru shushed him quickly. "Shhh, not yet. Just kisses okay?’’ He gently sucked at the area, surely bruising the omega’s delicate skin.
Suguru was completely under him now, he could feel the omega’s burning body beneath him.
He decided to shift his attention further down his best friend’s body and take one of his nipples into his mouth, giving the bud a gentle massage with his tongue before taking it between his teeth and sucking, making Suguru arch his back to give the alpha more access.
What a responsive omega. His alpha thought proudly.
Quickly, he moved to the other nipple, giving it the same treatment. He reached for the other bud with his and used his thumb to rub his spit all over.
Suguru was biting his lip, clearly trying not to moan.
The alpha didn’t like this, he gave one last playful bite before letting go. He was looking at Suguru with piercing blue eyes, the omega was intimidated but expectant. He had never seen this side of Satoru and his rational side wanted to take back control but his omega was happy to lie down and take what the alpha gave him.
Satoru leaned down and licked over the omega’s closed lips, making Suguru frown at such disgusting action but the alpha on top of him just smiled and tugged at his nipple.
The omega gasped at the contact, giving Satoru the reaction he was looking for, making him smirk.
He reached his hand even lower, running his thumb over the omega’s clothed slit, he found his underwear was drenched with slick.
His fingers reached for the waistband.
‘‘Is this okay?’’
Suguru was red in the face, he gave the alpha a small nod.
Very gently he peeled off his underwear, giving the alpha a clear view of the omega’s cunt.
And what a sight it was. All pink and pretty, glistening from the slick. His Suguru was beautiful everywhere.
Satoru ran his fingers over the folds separating his lips, making more slick leak out in preparation. He wondered if the omega tasted as good as he smelled.
The alpha dived in.
There was no technique to it, he wasn’t focused on the omega’s pleasure. All he wanted was to taste him, to cover his tongue with Suguru’s sweet juices, he moved his tongue back and forth over his cunt trying to taste as much as possible.
Suguru was torn between being mortified over being touched like this by his best friend and being on cloud nine. He had touched himself before but he couldn’t have imagined how much better it felt if someone else did it.
The alpha took his clit between his lips, sucking gently as he slipped a finger inside. Suguru couldn’t stop the small sounds leaving his mouth.
"Baby, you’re so tight.’’
Suguru tried closing his legs, the embarrassment was too much, but the alpha pushed them open again.
"Don’t do that, I want to see you,’’ the alpha said as he added another finger and then scissored him open.
It felt incredible.
The alpha’s long fingers being pushed into his tight hole, already making him feel like he was being stretched, he couldn’t imagine what it would be like to feel the alpha’s-
"Knot,’’ Suguru moaned out loud.
Satoru smiled, taking his fingers out. "Yes baby, I’ll give you my knot.’’
Don’t call me that. He wanted to say but he couldn’t force the words past his lips, his omega argued that he did want Satoru to call him his baby, to give him his knot and breed him full of his cum.
Satoru removed his boxers making his hard cock pop free and Suguru couldn’t help but stare. It was long and he could see the veins running through the shaft all the way to the red engorged tip that was already leaking pre-cum.
He couldn’t wait to get it inside him.
There was a light blush on the alpha’s face as he covered the omega’s body with his own and lined himself up with the omega’s waiting hole.
Satoru saw the omega’s eyes light up as he was entered.
Suguru’s mouth opened in a silent scream, as the alpha pulled out leaving just the head of his cock inside before pushing back in one swift motion, he gave the omega no time to adjust and started moving at a steady pace.
The alpha was in heaven. The omega’s tight walls practically sucked him in, it was like Suguru had been carved out just for him.
But Suguru’s face was scrunched in pain, it was too much for his inexperienced body. The omega didn’t move, didn’t speak but his face told the alpha something was wrong. Immediately he stopped and leaned down to capture the omega’s lips into a distracting kiss.
He took another approach.
He started moving again, penetrating the omega with slow, deep thrusts as they slid their tongues together.
Suguru’s body caught up with the alpha’s movements and started letting out more slick. Slowly, the pain started fading, leaving only the pleasure behind.
Still, it wasn’t enough, Satoru wanted to please his omega, so he broke away from the kiss and dipped his head down to take a nipple into his mouth, making Suguru moan, the alpha synced his movements to the suckling. Suguru’s hands reached for the alpha’s hair, he spread his legs a little bit wider to give him more access.
The alpha then changed to giving playful licks to his chest. The omega threw his head back in pleasure. He was hyper-aware of every place where the alpha’s body touched his own, he was taking, taking, taking and Suguru wanted nothing more than to give.
Satoru moved his eyes to where they were connected and noticed his shaft come away with blood.
"Shit - did I hurt you?’’ he asked. Quickly pulling out. "You’re bleeding baby.’’
Suguru felt the embarrassment rise to his face again. He moved his face into the pillow, away from the alpha, and mumbled something.
"Suguru, are you okay?’’ Satoru’s voice was laced with concern.
The omega swallowed his shame. "I said you didn’t hurt me,’’ He looked at the alpha with pleading eyes, hoping he would understand and not force him to say it out loud.
Satoru stared at him worriedly. He opened his mouth to ask again but then it hit him.
Oh, oh.
Suguru had been a virgin.
Somehow, the possibility had never crossed his mind. Suguru was a beautiful omega, possibly the most beautiful one he’d ever seen. How come he had never shared a heat before? The alpha always assumed Suguru had done it with someone from his previous school or something, Satoru himself had lost his virginity years before when his clan gave him an omega to spend his rut with.
Satoru gave him a sweet kiss on the cheek.
"Are you okay to keep going baby?’’ He asked.
There it was again, the stupid nickname that had Suguru nodding his head, encouraging the alpha to take him.
Satoru sat back on the mattress and pulled Suguru’s hips to his lap, leaving the omega’s upper body lying down while his hips were lifted by the alpha’s thighs.
He rubbed the head of his cock against his leaking hole, covering it in another layer of slick before pushing inside. The alpha wasn’t thrusting anymore, opting instead to drag the omega back and forth on his length.
The new angle hit Suguru’s sweet spot almost immediately, the alpha felt impossibly deep and every drag of his cock made him see stars. Suguru’s eyes were hazy and unfocused, his mouth opened as he drooled over the pillow.
Satoru felt his orgasm approaching.
This was no good. If he kept looking at Suguru’s face twisted in pleasure he was gonna cum before he could knot him. The alpha pulled out, making Suguru whimper, the omega looking at him with huge black eyes.
Satoru tried (and probably failed) at not looking too affected.
"I-um.’’
Suddenly, he felt shy.
"Turn around, I’m gonna mount you."
Suguru’s eyes opened wide, it was a rather archaic thing to mount an omega before mating but his traitorous omega was thrilled by the prospect of being mounted and knotted by such a strong and powerful alpha.
The omega flipped over, pushing his head and his hands against the mattress, lifting his pussy, and presenting it to the alpha.
Satoru covered Suguru’s body with his own, he could feel the alpha’s sweat on his back. Any other time he would have felt disgusted by it but right now it felt amazing, The omega lowered his chest into the mattress and lifted his hips to help the alpha connect. Satoru moved his hips wetting his cock with slick, poking around the omega’s entrance.
Suguru bucked, trying to get the alpha’s cockhead to catch but this earned him a growl from the alpha. He froze.
"Be a good omega, stay still, and take it’’ Satoru huffed.
Suguru didn’t move, he wanted to be a good omega after all.
After a few more tries the alpha’s cock found his entrance and pierced him again in one swift motion
They both moaned in unison. Suguru’s pussy felt like heaven and Satoru no longer felt like holding back, he set up a cruel and fast pace making the omega cry out every time he hit his sweet spot
Suguru felt the alpha’s hot breath against his neck, his wet pussy making loud sounds every time the alpha pushed inside. All the sensations were building inside the omega until he could no longer hold back. The omega moaned loudly as he came, clenching tightly around the alpha’s cock.
Suguru was delirious, throwing his head back in pleasure. The alpha kept pounding him all through his orgasm and it felt like it would never stop.
Eventually, it did. His pussy spasmed around the alpha’s cock one last time before Suguru collapsed on the bed, unable to support himself anymore. Satoru was beaming with pride, it was he who made Suguru make all those sweet noises and all the cute faces. He wanted to give the omega time to rest and catch his breath but his knot was starting to form.
It was time.
Satoru flipped the omega onto his back, making him gasp in surprise. He grabbed the omega’s thighs and pushed them to his shoulders, essentially folding the omega.
A classical mating press. How romantic.
Without wasting any time he filled the omega with his cock again. Suguru pouted at the overstimulation, making Satoru coo at his cute omega.
"You’re being so good, baby.’’
Suguru’s wanted to say something, to call him out for being so sappy but Satoru was fucking him hard and fast and something was starting to catch on his cunt, getting bigger with every thrust.
"Alpha, knot!’’ The omega said, the corners of his eyes were pooling with tears. The poor thing was overwhelmed and overstimulated but he wouldn’t be satisfied until he was knotted and bred.
Satoru gave him a fond smile and kissed his sweaty forehead. "Just a little more, can you handle a little more?’’
The omega bit his lip and nodded. Tears ran down his flushed cheeks as the alpha pulled out and pushed his growing knot back in.
The alpha’s knot was growing fast, to the point it seemed like it wouldn’t fit inside anymore.
Fuck, if I don't knot him the bite will be extremely painful.
"Suguru, stay still,’’ Satoru ordered. The omega whimpered but obeyed.
Satoru gripped the omega's hips tightly and, with a force he hadn't used before, he shoved his knot into the omega's waiting hole. Suguru grunted.
''Too much,'' he mumbled.
Satoru couldn’t move anymore, he could only grind against his soon-to-be mate.
''You can do it, it's just a little more,'' The alpha said as the knot grew to its full size. Finally, Suguru’s cunt locked him in, his walls tightening around the alpha’s length, enticing his alpha to cum.
Hot ropes of cum shot straight into his womb making Suguru climax yet again, unable to stop himself he moaned loudly, gasping every time he felt the knot pulse inside of him.
Suguru’s body twitched, his alpha was breeding him and he felt so good. He couldn’t stop the small ‘uh’ ‘ah’ that left his mouth every time he felt the alpha shoot more of his seed inside of him.
The alpha presented his neck, it was unheard of to let the omega mark the alpha first but Satoru never cared for traditions. "Go on baby, give me your bite.’’
Suguru wrapped his arms around the alpha’s head, scenting his glads with his nose for a moment before using his teeth to pierce through the skin. Satoru groaned in pain. His brain barely registered the omega cleaning his wound.
It hurt like hell. His alpha pushed him to finish the bond.
''Your neck, omega,'' It wasn't an order, Satoru spoke firmly but kindly. Suguru’s omega had long since submitted to the alpha and there was no resistance when he bared his neck and exposed his scent gland.
Well, no turning back now. Satoru thought as he moved the omega's long hair away from his glands.
He brought his lips to Suguru’s neck and gave him a small kiss as some form of apology before closing his teeth around the sensitive skin.
Suguru let out a sound between a moan and a scream of pain as he came again, the bite hurt terribly but the pain was dulled by the pleasure of the knot still pumping cum into him. His omega was content and satiated as he felt the bond tie him to Satoru, he felt the alpha's presence in his head and felt himself become a part of the alpha, too.
He felt all of the alpha’s love for him pouring through their bond.
What a loving alpha his omega thought through his delirium.
Suguru felt his alpha’s tongue on his neck, cleaning the wound. He felt safe and warm and oh so full.
With the alpha being hot and heavy both inside and on top of him, Suguru drifted off to sleep.
*
Satoru was lapping at the blood on the omega's neck but he was doing a shit job at it. His cock had finally stopped pumping his seed inside the omega and now he just felt overwhelmed by their bond.
He could feel everything that Suguru felt and his emotions felt like poison to the alpha. He felt all the hatred and the frustration the omega had been festering for the past year, he felt the repulsion Suguru felt towards non-sorcerers and even the bitter taste of failure from witnessing Riko die in front of him.
It took everything in Satoru not to throw up.
He felt in his bond that Suguru cared for him, loved him even but there was a lingering feeling that Satoru couldn't quite describe. Resentment? Jealousy?
He didn’t want to think about it.
''Oi, Suguru, move a little so I can lie down.'' While knotting was fun it was also tiring and the alpha wanted to sleep.
Silence.
''Suguru?'' Satoru asked again. The alpha moved Suguru's hair out of his face and found the omega sound asleep.
Just great.
He tried gently moving the omega but Suguru's face twisted in pain when the knot tugged at his entrance, it was too swollen to pull out.
Satoru sighed. He had no choice but to wait.
After what felt like forever his knot finally deflated and he pulled out, a trail of cum came pouring out of the omega. The room smelled of sex and sweat.
The alpha was desperate for sleep but he felt too sticky and gross. He had blood in his mouth, there was blood on the pillow from when he claimed Suguru, and a mixture of blood, cum, and slick on the bed sheets from when he took him.
Suguru was a virgin, he remembered.
Don't think about it.
Satoru went to the bathroom to wash the blood off his face and grab a towel to clean the omega. He tried to not think too hard as he was cleaning his cum from his best friend’s hole and where it had dripped down his legs. Just yesterday, everything was fine and now he was cleaning Suguru after mounting him? What exactly had happened?
Don't think about it.
When he was finally done Satoru gently moved Suguru to lie on his side, his alpha wanted nothing more than to cuddle his new mate to sleep.
Never mind that his mate had been his best friend, or that they had only mated out of necessity because he decided to go on a murderous rampage, or that Suguru was being consumed by his despair and his hatred.
Satoru sighed.
He would fix it, no one could ever take his Suguru away now. He wouldn’t allow it.
He wouldn’t allow Suguru to leave him either.
Satoru wrapped his arm around Suguru’s torso and pulled him closer to his chest. At least Suguru was still there, he could have lost his best friend. Things could definitely be worse, right?
With the omega pressed tightly against him the alpha fell asleep.

The next morning, Satoru woke up to an incessant knock on the door.
Yaga had found them and he had a lot of explaining to do.
