Chapter Text
The movie was playing but all Chan could focus on was Felix.
Corny, but it was true. They were doing that thing where one person kept looking over and then the other person caught them so they quickly looked away, keeping them trapped in this awkward loop.
But, the two of them had been dating for a year now so this came across as less skin crawling cringe and more just… cute! They were more than comfortable with each other at this stage in their relationship. Chan was relaxing on the couch in his rattiest pajamas, the ones with those questionable stains he couldn’t quite scrub out. Felix was curled up next to him, tucked against the alpha’s side wearing just a pair of Chan’s boxers.
Felix looked especially beautiful in the dim light of their living room. The bluish glow of the TV illuminated his bare face and highlighted his long platinum blond hair. Chan was trying to keep his puppy-like affectionate nuzzling of Felix to a minimum, wanting to focus on the movie, but it was hard to stay away from an omega as beautiful as his.
It was after work for the both of them and they’d decided to relax after dinner by watching a newly released movie that’d been getting awards show buzz. And it’d been fine so far. It was one of those deep, artistic films that kinda went over Chan’s head but it was nice turning his brain off, cuddling with his omega, and watching the pretty colors on the TV screen. Like he was a pup watching one of those baby stimulation videos.
And then the movie took a very startling turn, one that Chan really hoped wasn’t in those baby stimulation videos.
“Oh.” Felix tensed up against Chan’s side when the omega on screen abruptly began stripping. “Oh wow.”
Chan bleated out a nervous laugh, eyes nervously darting between Felix and the omega on screen. The camera leered and lingered on the omega’s nude body and Chan was struck with the sudden, random urge to explain himself.
“I didn’t know this was in the movie.” Chan said in a stilted voice. He wondered if Felix could hear his heart beginning to race in his chest. Even though Chan was a grown alpha who’d had sex more times then he could count, sex scenes in movies always made him nervous. Like his parents would walk into the room at any moment, even though they lived a continent away.
Felix turned his head to look upwards at Chan, blinking innocently and making the alpha sweat even more under his innocuous gaze.
“Oh yeah, sure.” Felix grinned. “You only watch movies for the plot, right?”
Chan cleared his throat.
“Yeah, of course.” He echoed in a weak voice and tried to smile as Felix just laughed and settled back against his side.
“For a country that bans porn, there sure is a lot of sex in these movies.” Felix said to himself and then tilted his head like a curious little kitten pondering a problem. “Hmmm … now that I think about it, maybe those two things are related?”
Chan let out another nervous laugh, drowned out by the soundtrack of the main couple on screen beginning to fuck. The actor playing the omega was really going for it, like a pornstar working for their check. He was moaning and gasping and shaking in the arms of the actor playing his alpha, body writhing as he pretended to get pounded.
Seized with panic thinking that he’d been suspiciously quiet, Chan couldn’t help but fill the silence in the living room.
“It’s actually pretty easy to watch porn here.” Chan blurted out and his attempt to contribute to the conversation ended up sinking like a stone. Once again, Felix craned his neck to stare at his boyfriend in disbelief.
“Know that real well, huh?” Felix teased, reaching over to poke Chan’s stomach playfully.
“…I mean- uh … I don’t watch porn.” Chan said belatedly and Felix nearly fell into his lap laughing. The alpha shifted nervously, not wanting his boyfriend to be impaled on his rapidly rising erection.
“You’re so cute.” Felix said casually. He looked between the TV and back to where his boyfriend was sweating, gaze swiveling back and forth like a member of the crowd at a tennis match. “Aw, what’s wrong Chris?” Why are you so nervous? You have a crush on that omega or something?”
“No!” Chan said way too suddenly, forcefully averting his eyes from the screen where the alpha was jacking off onto the omega’s face. What the fuck was this movie rated? “I mean-. You know. All omegas are beautiful. But. Obviously, you’re the most beautiful omega alive. Or dead. Uh…”
Chan trailed off, smiling sheepishly down at Felix who looked like he was going to burst out laughing again.
“I feel like I’ve lost the plot.” Chan admitted and, to his credit, Felix didn’t laugh in his face. His boyfriend just smiled patiently and reached out to take his hand.
“That’s okay.” Felix encouraged. “Sound it out, mate.”
Chan couldn’t help but smile back, mirroring Felix’s infectious grin, and spared a glance back at the TV. The omega’s face was covered in jizz and Chan idly wondered what kind of practical effect that was. Probably glue.
“He’s pretty but he’s not my type.” Chan finally managed to get out. “You are.”
“Cute!” Felix chorused and then the two lapsed into a comfortable silence. Right when Chan thought that he was out of the woods and in the clear, Felix spoke up again. “He’s my type though.”
He said it so casually, blissfully unaware of how such a simple sentence had this domino effect in Chan’s mind. The lights of the TV reflected off of Felix’s beautiful face, making his huge eyes glow.
“…what?” Chan asked, wondering if he had heard Felix right. Maybe all that moaning and gasping and skin slapping on skin had momentarily melted Chan’s brain.
“What?” Felix repeated, briefly turning to look at his boyfriend once again. The two stared at each other for a moment, small smiles growing in the following silence. “…I dunno. I mean- I’d go for him!”
Thinking that Felix was joking, Chan couldn’t help but jostle the omega in his arms playfully.
”Yeah?” He said, equal parts relieved and eager to be the one teasing Felix. “You’d go for him, huh? Should I be jealous?”
Felix was instantly enveloped by that full body blush he sometimes got, his bare face and neck and chest slowly but surely turning red.
“I just- I dunno, man.” Felix laughed and used one of his hands to cover his flushed face, small fingers parted enough to let Chan peek in. “I mean- ! I always thought if I went for an omega, he’d be super sexy. Like- way out of my league. You know?”
Chan was more than familiar with the concept. And Felix’s cutesy shy demeanor was almost enough to distract him. Almost.
“...are you being serious right now?” Chan couldn’t help but ask, fixing Felix with a hesitant look. The omega didn’t look like he was joking. He was smiling and laughing, but more out of nerves than anything.
The two of them looked at each other for another moment. Chan tried for a casual smile to lighten the suddenly tense mood, suddenly feeling like his arm around Felix was trapping the omega to his side. Great, he was basically holding Felix hostage.
Felix was the first to look away, ears pink as he turned to look at the TV instead. Chan followed his gaze so it wouldn’t weigh heavily on the uncomfortable looking omega.
“I am.” Felix finally said and it was silent once again. The two of them stared at the TV, although they could barely focus on the characters talking. Their world had suddenly shrunk down to the size of their living room.
Instead of poking and prodding the omega even further, Chan chose to stay silent as he was curious to see where Felix would take this on his own.
“…I like omegas too.” Felix said in a quiet voice, eyes darting over to watch Chan’s reaction. “Um. I have… for a while.”
Oh.
Oh.
For one very long minute, Chan and Felix just blinked at each other. Chan in disbelief and Felix in confusion.
Chan was suddenly seized with the urge to speak. He felt burdened by the weight of his response, as he realized how important his next words would be to Felix. If Chan screwed up his reaction, Felix was going to remember it forever.
Man, this was probably how parents felt with their pups all the time. Although that was a weird metaphor to use in this situation…
“That’s so cool.” Chan finally said, after mentally speedrunning every possible response and trying to guess which one would result in the best outcome. “Thank you!”
Something about Chan’s earnest dorkiness shattered the awkward atmosphere entirely. Felix burst out laughing, tension leaking out of his frame as he relaxed against Chan’s side once again. He settled with his cheek squished against the alpha’s shoulder, arms naturally settling around the alpha’s body in a sweet hug.
“Why are you thanking me?” Felix asked, equal parts amused and perplexed. “For being into omegas too?”
Fuck. Chan desperately needed to salvage this shipwreck of a conversation before he went down with it.
“Ah, I mean…” Chan trailed off, laughing sheepishly as he felt his own face begin to heat up. “Thank you for telling me!”
Felix’s smile turned soft and mushy, getting all twinkly eyed and making Chan’s heart threaten to go nuclear.
“It’s really not a big deal.” Felix said, sounding more like he was trying to convince himself of this. He seemed entirely oblivious to the way this was the biggest deal in the world to Chan. “I’m with you now. It’s like- I dunno… it feels like it’s not important! Who cares that I like omegas too? I’m not with one right now…”
Felix was rambling in a way that felt like these thoughts had been bottled up inside of his head for a while. With the floodgates open, everything came spilling out and left Felix a little breathless in the aftermath.
Chan couldn’t help but smile, affection blooming alongside the warmth in his chest.
“I care.” He said simply. “And I’m really glad that you told me. I’m serious.”
“Really?” Felix asked and Chan just nodded.
“I wanna know everything about you, baby. I don’t know if you’ve noticed but- uh. I’m kinda obsessed with you.” Chan smiled, only half joking. “So. Yeah. It’s important to me. You’re important to me.”
“Chris…” Felix’s lower lip wobbled, a telltale sign he was about to burst into tears. He threw his arms around the alpha’s neck and pulled him in for a hug, one that Chan was eager to reciprocate. “I love you.”
“I love you too.” Chan pressed his nose against the curve of Felix’s neck, inhaling his comforting scent and letting it fill his system. They could bottle the omega’s signature smell and make billions selling it, but Chan would never let another alpha near what belonged to him.
“Thanks for not being weird about it.” Felix said, voice muffled from where he’d pressed his face to Chan’s shoulder. Confused, the alpha pulled away and held Felix at arm’s length, trying to read his sweet face before speaking up again.
“...why would I be weird about it?” Chan asked in disbelief. “Did you think I was gonna be mad?”
Felix made a face, half a wince and half like he was bracing himself for this conversation.
“Not… mad…” Felix spoke slowly, making a big deal out of avoiding eye contact with Chan. “I just- I’ve heard horror stories before. Of how alphas get… weird about it. Like…”
Felix let out a loud sigh, so intense that it briefly made his bangs fly up.
“They immediately start asking about a threesome.” Felix finally explained, rolling his eyes at the mere mention of this. “And it’s like- are you serious? That’s how you react?”
“Wow.” Chan said faintly. “Yeah, no, that sucks.”
The look of irritation on Felix’s face melted away, replaced by a soft smile as he took his boyfriend’s hands.
“You get it.” He said and leaned forward to reward Chan with a chaste kiss on the mouth. “Seriously Chris, you’re the best.”
The word ‘threesome’ had begun clouding Chan’s mind like plumes of smoke, and he desperately tried to bat these thoughts away with a topic change.
“Am I the only person who knows?”
“Ah, no. I told my sisters last Christmas when I was drunk. They were really supportive.” Felix explained, smiling at the memory. “And Minho hyung knows too! I feel like he clocked it the second he met me honestly…”
Felix trailed off and let out a little laugh.
“I’m surprised you didn’t pick up on it.” Felix said with an adorably guilty smile on his face. Like he’d snacked on so many chocolate chips while baking that he’d run out of them and needed Chan to go get more. “I feel like it’s super obvious...”
Chan had no idea what Felix was talking about. Had there been signs he’d somehow managed to ignore? It wasn’t like Felix had been making out with other omegas in front of him. Although, maybe now that would change- .
“I really hope this doesn’t change things between us.” Felix said, like he could read Chan’s mind. Which was a very dangerous superpower for the omega to suddenly have. “Like, why would things be any different? Are we gonna- I dunno- start checking out omegas together now?”
Chan paused, eyebrows raising in suspicion at the sight of Felix grinning impishly at him.
“Is that a trick question?” Chan asked and Felix’s smile merely grew. “‘Cause I don’t check out other omegas. I only have eyes for you, baby.”
“Aw, so sweet!” Felix gushed in an overtly sweet voice and finally relaxed again under Chan’s arm. The two of them had gone on this entire character arc together and the stupid sex movie was still playing. There wasn’t any sex on screen though, just the main couple fighting in the rain. Their relationship was in stark contrast to Chan and Felix who were back to living in domestic bliss.
Chan pressed a soft kiss to the crown of Felix’s head before they settled in for the night.
Add that to the list of things Chan and Felix shared. They shared a home country, an apartment, a bed, and a friend group. They shared kinks, fetishes, and fantasies. And now they shared an attraction to omegas.
Which Chan was totally normal about. By the way. So normal and not weird at all.
Because Felix had put all of his trust into the alpha. Chan would basically be violating him if he began to fantasize about Felix and another omega and a threesome between all of them.
But.
Inside of Chan there were two wolves. One loved and respected his boyfriend more than anything in the world. It was why he walked Felix home from work every night, why he slept between Felix and the door to keep him safe and protected, and why Chan cried sometimes after sex.
It was out of love and respect for his omega. Besides, he only cried when Felix cried, so it totally canceled out.
But then there was that other wolf. The one that was a freak nasty pervert. It was why Chan had gotten so hard the first time Felix had teasingly called him “daddy” in bed, the sudden blood rush to his dick had sent him toppling off of the bed and onto the floor. It was why Chan had asked Felix for oiled up butt sex for his birthday, as he’d wanted nothing more than to take the omega’s ass virginity too.
And it was why Chan couldn’t stop thinking about Felix with another omega. Like that.
When Chan kissed Felix goodbye before going to work the next morning, it was all he thought about during his commute. Had Felix ever kissed another omega before? Or had he been silently lusting for them afar? Would he be just as sweet and submissive like he was with Chan, or would he be the one taking charge with another omega?
The mental image of Felix making out with another omega, the two grinding and pawing at each other’s bodies as they shyly kissed with tongue turned Chan on so much that he began to worry he looked like a pervert on the subway with his raging erection. He didn’t want to be that alpha.
But Chan was that kind of alpha. The one that Felix had been worried about. Someone who sexualized, objectified, and fetishized two omegas together and made it all about him and his knot.
God, Chan could practically see the r/AmITheKnothead post in his mind.
“Am I (26A) a knothead if my boyfriend (23O) came out to me and told me he’s attracted to omegas too, and all I can think about is a threesome? I swear I love and respect my boyfriend- and other omegas too!- but ever since he’s told me, I can’t stop thinking about him with another omega. Kissing them and touching them and letting me watch… I swear I’m not usually this perverted! Please, you have to believe me!”
Yeah. Chan didn’t even want to know what those comments would say. His own guilt was more than enough.
