IV.

Jun groaned.

He brushed aside his bangs, grimacing at the sweat that accumulated on his forehead when he did so. It had been a few days after meeting with Ohno. Jun had forgotten that if he was on the heat suppressants, the bond heat wouldn’t be satisfied on his part. When he got home that morning he had started to feel hot again.

There was no way he was going to see Ohno again. Jun had already told himself that it wasn’t going to happen, especially when Jun had said it straight to the other alpha’s face. There’s just no way I can see him again after that, Jun thought with a sigh and turned back to his laptop, trying to compile a list of expenses for the event he was working on. It was getting hard to concentrate however, his vision blurring the more he stared at the computer screen.

Realizing that he wasn’t going to get much done, Jun decided to finish the rest of his work at home. Grabbing his jacket, Jun unplugged his laptop from the monitor and placed it in his messenger bag. He shot Sho a quick text telling him he was leaving early for the day and that he was going to leave Mao in charge for the rest of the day.

When Jun got home, he immediately headed for the bedroom and fell face first on the bed. He groaned as he began stripping himself of his clothes, the heat getting to him. He felt hot and stuffy, and Jun knew that the suppressants’ effects were wearing off quickly. Jun had been taking them everyday without pause, and he knew that the suppressants were weakening.

“Damn it,” he cursed and pushed himself up by his elbows. He headed towards the bathroom and shuffled through his medicine cabinet for the heat suppressants. When he swallowed one, he instantly felt better. Maybe the suppressants worked for longer because it was a bond heat? Jun rubbed his temples and headed back to his bedroom. He was going to do the rest of his work in bed today.

Over the week, Jun felt himself getting more and more tired during the day. Sho had confronted him during the beginning of the week about the heat suppressants, telling him to get off of them and to go see Ohno. Jun had refused—his pride wouldn’t let him, no matter how uncomfortable the searing jabs of heat were, Jun refused to budge.

When the weekend came, Jun was so relieved. He immediately headed straight home into his shower and jerked off for relief. He was now nearing his third week of the bond heat, and Jun knew the suppressants weren't going to help this time. He cursed when he realized that the pills were basically useless now.

“I have to wait three days for this to take effect again?” Jun grumbled when he read the box. He didn’t have three days. He had to see a client on Monday, and he didn’t want to be in heat for the duration of it. Well, he had two days off from work… that should be enough, right?

It wasn’t.

When Jun woke up the next morning, his body was hot all over, and Jun was hard. Jun jerked off a few times in the shower and let the cold water wash over him. It had helped a little, but Jun knew it was just going to come back. He was tempted to just go ahead and take another heat suppressant, but it would’ve been useless anyway. The heat suppressant wouldn’t do much for him in this state.

Jun growled in frustration and slammed the medicine cabinet closed. He would have to just deal with it.

The next day, Jun started to regret his decision on not taking that suppressant regardless because he felt awful. Jun stared at the phone in his hand. Should he…? No. Jun pushed the phone away from him and glared at it. He wasn’t going to call Ohno—he couldn’t. Jun couldn’t call Sho either. Knowing his friend, the older man would probably knock his door down and bring Ohno over to solve the problem (after giving him an earful first).

Jun tried to sleep the heat off throughout the day, but it was hard because he kept waking up every hour or two, and he would have to take care of his business. Jun glared down at his hard cock again, hating how the heat just seemed to get worse and worse. It was literally driving him mad, and Jun knew that there was no way he could last until tomorrow.

He had an idea of what would help him, but… it was a hard decision to make. But we aren’t together, Jun thought, trying to ignore the feeling of guilt that was creeping up in him. Jun narrowed his eyes. No. There was nothing to be guilty of. Jun nodded and made his decision.

He was going out tonight.


It had been a few years since Jun had last stepped into a club full of dancing alphas, betas, and omegas, the smell of sweat and their designations in the air. Jun knew that he was catching quite a few looks from the omegas (and some alphas who eyed him warily) when he walked in the club—he knew how he looked (and smelled). Jun had gone with a relaxed but dressy style, something his previous exes would say that he looked good in.

Jun walked past the bar—he was here to find someone, not to get drunk. Alcohol would only make his current state worse and Jun really didn’t want to feel like a human furnace later. He immediately headed for the dance floor, aware of how many stares he was getting from the omegas along the way. There were a few male omegas who looked his way, but Jun ignored them. He wanted a woman tonight. A man reminded him too much of Ohno, and Jun didn’t want to think about him.

As Jun started moving to the beat, a few daring and brave omegas had moved up to him, trying to get his attention. They were cute, but Jun was looking for someone who didn't want more than just a night. He smiled at one of the omegas kindly before shaking his head.

Jun knew that the smell of his heat mixed with his sweat was attracting interested omegas to him. He knew that combined with his looks, it wouldn't be hard to find one. But Jun knew that many of the hopeful omegas were hoping to go find something that would last a little longer—Jun couldn't do that.

After dancing for a while longer, Jun’s eyes caught another omega’s across the dance floor. She was attractive: she was dressed in a tight black body-hugging dress, coupled with black platform heels. Her hair was long and straight and Jun felt drawn to the way her eyes followed him. She sent him a coy smile before moving over to him.

They danced for a little bit, her body grinding against his, as they moved to the beat of the song. Jun had one arm around her waist, nosing at her neck. She smelled like expensive perfume and the sweet scent of an omega. Jun knew she felt his hard on, because at the next moment, she had turned around and kissed him hard on the lips.

“Come home with me,” he mumbled against her lips, his hands moving down her back to rest at her bottom. She giggled pushed against him, causing him to emit a soft growl.

“Okay,” she replied, licking at his lips before kissing him again.

Jun tried to ignore the tight feeling in his chest when they left the club.


“So I said to her— Jun? Hey, are you listening?”

Jun jumped and looked up at Sho who was frowning at him beside the desk. Jun shook his head to clear the fog from his mind.

“Yes! Yes I was. Sorry, I just remembered something,” he lied, looking down at his laptop and pretending to type something in.

After Jun had seen the omega out the next morning, he’d immediately taken a heat suppressant pill. To his annoyance, the pills didn't seem to be working as well as he’d hoped. He had been spacing out all day, and it was getting harder to concentrate as the day went on. That, and he was feeling warm. Jun had already taken off his blazer earlier, and he was still feeling the heat.

“You seem out of it…” Sho said in concern, moving closer to him. Jun had to restrain himself from flinching. Even if the heat wasn’t too distracting right now, Sho’s scent wasn’t making things any better. Jun cleared his throat, and tried to breathe through his mouth. “Are you sick?”

“No, just tired.”

Sho narrowed his eyes at him before pushing up into his space. Jun groaned when Sho’s scent immediately overwhelmed his senses. He reached up to grab the omega by the waist, pulling him closer before realizing what he was doing when Sho let out a tiny squeak. Horrified by his actions, Jun immediately pushed the omega away with a growl. Sho let out a yelp as he stumbled backwards, almost tripping over his feet. “What are you doing?!” Jun shouted in bafflement and embarrassment.

Sho glared at him before straightening up and crossed his arms, taking a few steps forward. “You’re in heat,” he said a matter-of-factly.

“No I’m not,” Jun immediately denied. “I’m just feeling a little under the weather.”

“Jun, I smelled it on you just a few seconds ago. And I know that your instincts told you to grab me. I know what you smell like when you’re in heat.” Sho gave him a pointed look. “You need to see Ohno-kun.”

“Since when is he Ohno-kun?” Jun inquired with a whine, shaking his head to try to regain coherence. His vision was starting to get blurry. “And no. You’re mistaken, Sho.” He refused to see Ohno again. Especially not after… “No. I won’t. We have nothing to do with each other anymore.”

Sho growled in frustration. “Jun, why are you acting like this again?! You’re in heat!” he roared, storming up to the alpha’s desk and slamming his hands down. The desk shook at the impact. Jun glared up at him. “You need to see Ohno-kun! You’re going to drive yourself out of your mind!”

“No.” Jun pushed away from his desk and got up from his chair. He winced when he was suddenly hit with a bout of dizziness. Rubbing at his temples, he turned to Sho, who was looking at him in concern. “I don’t need Ohno. We are done with each other already.” He made his way over to the coat stand and grabbed his trench coat.

“Where are you going?” Sho asked in a panic, following him to the door.

Jun spun around, immediately regretting it when he saw black spots in his vision. Bad idea, he thought faintly before leaning against the door. Sho reached out for him but Jun slapped his hand away. He ignored his friend’s hurt look.

“Don’t. I’m going to go for a walk.”

“Are you sure that’s a good idea?” Sho asked in exasperation. “You look like you’re going to pass out any minute now.”

Jun glared at him before turning around to open the office door. “I’ll be back,” Jun grunted out before walking away from his friend. He made his way past the reception where Toma waved at him in greeting before returning back to his phone call. Just as Jun was about to step out the front doors, his world tilted. He stumbled against the door, vaguely hearing Toma calling his name in the background. Jun blinked, trying to get his vision to clear but all he saw was black spots no matter what he did.

“Jun! Jun!”

The last thing he saw was Sho’s frantic face before everything blacked out.


“What did you want for dinner today?”

“I’m feeling like ramen tonight actually.”

“Okay! Did you want to order takeout or get delivery?”

“Nino would want delivery right?”

“Sho-chan, what do you think?” A giggle.

Wait. Sho-chan?

Jun groaned and tried to blink his eyes awake. He felt like his body was on fire, like somebody had poured hot lava over him. He heard hushed whispers above him before finally opening his eyes. He was greeted by the sight of Sho sitting beside the bed looking down at him in concern.

“Jun, how are you feeling?” Sho asked, reaching out to feel his forehead. He jumped when a hand immediately shot out to grab his wrist. “Oh.”

“Sorry!”

Jun snapped his gaze to the figure beside Sho. Jun’s nose scented this man as another alpha. And he smelled a lot like Sho. His eyes looked down to the hand on the omega’s wrist, and without realizing it, Jun began growling. The alpha tensed, but Sho whispered something to him rapidly that Jun couldn’t make out. The alpha frantically shook his head but Sho was giving him one of his best you better do what I say looks—Jun had been a recipient of that one many times before. The alpha looked back and forth at Sho and Jun with hesitation, but Sho patted the alpha on the thigh before murmuring something to him. Jun narrowed his eyes as he watched the two of them interact.

This was the first time he had seen Sho act completely at ease with another alpha. He watched them warily, unable to keep a growl from escaping when the other alpha rubbed his nose against Sho’s neck before leaving the room reluctantly, his eyes darting between the two of them at the bed.

When the alpha finally left the room, Sho sighed before snapping his gaze back to Jun with a heated glare.

“Are you stupid?!” Sho asked in disbelief. He shook his head and ran a hand through his hair and sent Jun a frustrated look. “Three weeks. You’ve been on heat suppressants for three weeks. You know that an alpha can’t take them for that long!”

Jun grumbled and pulled the covers higher to his neck. “It’s none of your business,” he said with a sulk. Sho let out a noise of frustration, and poked Jun hard at his side. Jun let out a growl, but Sho look unperturbed.

“It is my business when you fucking faint at the front doors!” Sho exclaimed, crossing his arms, his body shaking with anger as he spoke. “I thought something terrible had happened to you!”

“So I fainted, what’s the big—”

“I tossed your heat suppressants.”

Jun gaped at him before narrowing his eyes at the offending omega. “What?!”

Sho leaned back against his chair. “I threw them away.”

“What do you mean you threw them away?!” Jun shouted, the anger in him rising quickly. Sho tensed but refused to back down.

“You are killing yourself the longer you take them. Stop it, Jun, you need to see Ohno-kun again.”

Jun let out a loud growl, this time more menacing and louder than the last. Sho looked at him warily before speaking again.

“Why are you having such a hard time accepting that he’s your soulmate?” Sho asked quietly. “Is it because he’s an alpha? Are you really concerned about that?” He frowned at Jun and leaned closer to him. Jun averted his gaze to the other side of him, avoiding Sho’s eyes. He balled his hands into tight fits underneath the covers. “Are you so hung up about the—”

“Sho,” Jun interrupted with a frown, turning to his friend, “you know that two alphas can’t be together.” It’s not right.

Sho looked like he wanted to slap him. “If two alphas can’t be together, than why did you and Ohno-kun happen?”

“It’s a mistake,” Jun said immediately.

“A soul bond can’t be a mistake!” Sho exclaimed at him in frustration. Jun glared at him.

“Mine is! How can two alphas be soulmates?!” Jun snapped back. “Alphas are meant to be with omegas! An alpha and another alpha? How can that possibly work out?!”

“Why are you so deep in denial about this? Why are you so scared?” Sho asked, shaking his head. “So is my soul bond a mistake? Is it a mistake that I have two soulmates instead of one? That one of them is an omega? For once, I'm happy in my life. Is that a mistake too?”

Jun stayed silent. He didn’t know what to say to that. Sho slapped the mattress in frustration. “You need to get over the fact that Ohno-kun is an alpha. He’s one of the nicest men I have ever met, especially for an alpha, and I hate seeing him hurt like this. I hate seeing you hurt like this.” Sho looked at him with pity. “I just want to see you happy, Jun.”

Jun shook his head. “I told you: we are not soulmates—”

“Oh, for fuck’s sakes, Jun!” Sho shouted. Outside, they could hear a thump. Sho frowned at the door but continued, “Why are you so ignorant and blind?! You could have such a fulfilling relationship with your soulmate. Who, despite all the shit you put him through in the last few weeks, still asks about you! You know what he asked of me a few days ago?” Jun stared at him with wide eyes, a little taken back by the outburst. Sho continued, “He asked me to watch over you! To make sure you were okay! And when I said that I would invite him over in case anything happens to you, you know what he said?” Sho glared at him. “He said that he didn’t want to unless you asked for him. Do you know why? Because he doesn’t want you to hate him!”

Jun stared at him in utter shock, completely overwhelmed with what Sho had told him. But then he felt his own anger building up within him. He had never asked for Ohno’s affections. He had never wanted this (did he?). And Jun knew that, most importantly, Jun didn’t deserve him.

Because Jun had committed the ultimate betrayal one could do to their soulmate, even if he and Ohno weren’t together.

Even if Jun did agree to it, to see Ohno again… how could he look at the other alpha in the eye again? How could he be in a relationship with his soulmate without guilt when he had slept with an omega during the bond heat?

Jun hated himself for it. And he knew that Ohno would never forgive him for this mistake.

Jun had to pretend.

“I don’t want to see him anyway!” Jun shouted back finally, trying to ignore the ache in his heart, and the pain in his head.

“You don’t mean that,” Sho groused. “I don’t understand why you’re like this. Are you that hung up over designations?! I thought you said those weren't important!”

“They’re not,” Jun growled, “but that doesn’t mean an alpha should go and fuck another alpha.”

“So what about me?” Sho snapped. “Nino and I have sex together and we are both omegas. Is that wrong too?! We both share an alpha. Just because it's uncommon, doesn't mean it’s wrong!” He was blushing by the end of his rant, but he looked determined.

Jun felt tired. He just wanted Sho to stop yelling at him, to stop telling him things he had slowly come to realize in the past few days, and for the heat to stop. He grunted when he was hit with a sudden bout of sharp hot pain in his stomach, making him curl up on the bed, gritting his teeth.

“Jun!” Sho cried, getting up to his feet to grab Jun’s shoulder.

Jun let out a loud hiss at Sho’s touch. It burned him. Vaguely in his mind, Jun realized his body was punishing him for ignoring the heat too long. It was telling him he needed to mate, and he needed to do it now. He let out a whimper, trying to ignore Sho’s scent when it assaulted his senses. Sho smelled amazingly good, and while Jun generally did like the way Sho smelled, Sho was an omega and only just a friend. Besides, his alpha was in another room and Jun didn't want to cause any problems.

“Sho.” Jun grunted, trying to pull away from his friend’s grip. “Get away from me.”

“But—”

“You’re too close,” he groaned, curling up tighter into a ball. He generally had good self control, but right now he didn't. And he didn't want to do anything he was going to regret.

Jun felt Sho pull his hand away. “I'm going to call Ohno-kun.” Jun tensed when he felt Sho place a hand on his forehead. “You’re burning up!”

“Just make it stop…” Jun said with a hiss when the hand was removed. It was taking all of his willpower to not grab Sho and pull him down on the bed at the moment.

“I’ll be back,” Sho said looking down at him worriedly. “If you need anything, just call for me or Aiba-kun.” He left the room quietly and Jun let out a whine before curling into himself.

Well, he thought with a wince as the hot searing pain on his stomach began to get hotter and bigger. At least I know his name.

Jun drifted off into an uneasy sleep for a bit. When he woke up several minutes later, he realized the person sitting next to him wasn't Sho. It was the alpha, Aiba.

Jun rubbed his eyes and looked at the alpha warily. The alpha looked back at him curiously. Jun wondered if Sho was truly happy with his soul bond with this alpha. He seemed happy enough with Nino, but that was because Nino was an omega. Nino wasn’t as threatening as Aiba simply because he was an omega. Jun didn't really know what to make of the alpha in front of him.

“So you're Oh-chan’s soulmate?” The alpha asked, breaking the awkward silence between them. Jun shrugged.

“Maybe. Maybe not. I don't know anymore,” Jun replied miserably. “Where’s Sho?”

“He went to go pick up Oh-chan.”

“So he's coming, eh?”

Aiba narrowed his eyes at him, looking a little confused at that statement. “Why wouldn't he come?”

“Why would he?” Jun retorted.

“Because you're his soulmate!” Aiba exclaimed. “He’ll come if you need him!”

“But I don't need him.” Jun growled and pushed the covers away. “Why does everyone assume that?! I don't need him! And then what if he meets an omega that smells nice?”

“What are you talking about?” Aiba asked in bewilderment.

Jun glares up at the ceiling. “What if he meets an omega that smells good and he’ll want them? An omega will always smell better to an alpha than another alpha,” Jun said darkly. “That's just the way it goes.”

“You're a coward.”

Jun felt his blood boil at that accusation. How was he a coward when it was the truth? There was a reason why alphas and omegas belonged with each other, why they were pulled towards one another, even if they were just friends and not lovers—it was biological.

“And what about you and Sho?” Jun spat, still frustrated and angry at everything. Aiba froze before narrowing his eyes cautiously at him.

Jun was worried for his friend too. He didn't want Sho to be hurt. The other omega already had already gone through so much trouble with his family that it nearly broke him. Jun had been there at Sho’s lowest, and even if he did have two soulmates, the soulmates were already together. How could it work between them? Jun didn't like the idea of the alpha sharing them. Sure, Sho was happy with his omega soulmate too, but there was still a third person. He didn't want to see Sho broken again.

“What about us?” Aiba asked coldly.

“You're in a bond with two omegas. How can that work without someone getting hurt or left out? Sho’s been through so much shit, he doesn't need more in his life. How can you possibly make those two happy?!” Jun felt his body burning up, and he felt lightheaded, but he refused to succumb to the heat. “What,” Jun snarled, “are you going to just use Sho when Nino isn't there for you? Will he be just your fuck—”

“How fucking dare you!” Aiba yelled, stepping up next to Jun and fisting a hand in his shirt, slamming the alpha against the headboard. “You have no right to say shit like that!” His face was red, and he was fuming in anger. But Jun was angry too, and he wasn't going to back down.

“Isn't it the truth?!” Jun hollered reaching up to try to pull Aiba’s hand away, but he was too weak at the moment to be able to really do anything. “Sho’s been involved with too many fucking idiots! I refuse to let him be hurt again, soul bond or not!” Aiba let out a loud snarl, pushing him even further against the headboard. The headboard let out a small creak. Jun answered the growl with his own.

“I refuse to let you say this about us when you can't even accept your own soulmate!” Aiba boomed, still growling loudly at the man.

Jun let out another terrifying snarl, reaching up to grab Aiba’s shirt.

“My situation is fucking different! I'm not the one using people like they're toys!” Jun didn't realize how furious he was until his vision started to blur again. Shit, he thought, closing his eyes tightly as a flash of heat rushed through his body. He didn't want to pass out again.


Ohno had been working on a commission until Sho had called him about Jun. He had dropped everything he was working on immediately when he heard that the alpha had fainted in addition to going into a full heat.

Ohno frowned as the both of them got out of the car and immediately headed for the elevators of Jun’s apartment. Did Jun even want to see him after all this time? He felt a little nervous, but Sho had been adamant that Ohno’s presence was needed.

“Hurry,” Sho pressed, pressing the number eight in the elevator. “I left Aiba-kun there to watch over him, but I don't know how Jun will take it.”

“Aiba-chan is nice,” Ohno commented, watching the numbers change. Sho nodded but he still looked worried.

“He is, but Jun isn't in his right mind at the moment. I'm scared he’ll say something he might regret.”

When they reached Jun’s front door, Ohno watched nervously as Sho scrambled to find the keys. As they finally stepped through the front door, Ohno was immediately hit by the scent of Jun’s heat. He had to take a step back at how potent it was in the home. Sho gave him a sheepish smile.

“Yeah, it’s pretty bad,” he said.

Then they heard a loud growl coming from one part of the apartment and Sho’s eyes widened.

“Shit! Are they fighting?!” Sho exclaimed, quickly pulling off his shoes and running down the hall. Ohno quickly followed after him.

Sho pushed one of the doors open and Ohno immediately followed him inside.

“Aiba-kun! Jun!” Sho exclaimed in shock.

Aiba and Jun were locked in a fierce staring contest, both of them snarling loudly at each other. Aiba stiffened when Sho entered the room, and quickly snapped his head towards his mate. Ohno had moved to stand beside Sho… which was probably a mistake on his part because Aiba was now glaring at him and growling angrily. The alpha let go of Jun and quickly stomped over to them.

Ohno quickly backed up against the wall and tilted his neck, baring it to Aiba—he was submitting himself to his friend. Apparently, the heat was affecting Aiba much more than he had thought, because Ohno could smell the lust on Aiba. Aiba generally didn't even growl, but somehow, Jun had him on the edge. Sho let out a tiny sound of surprise when Aiba grabbed Sho in a possessive grip.

This seemed to have caught Jun’s attention because Jun responded to Sho’s cry. Jun tried to push himself up, but ended up falling sideways off the bed. Sho cursed, pushing himself away from Aiba to help Jun. Aiba let out a loud snarl and began to move towards the pair as well.

“Sho! Stop!” Aiba cried out frantically, reaching out.

Ohno immediately pushed himself off from the wall and ran in front of Aiba, latching onto his friend’s arm so that he couldn’t attack Jun, and blocked his path. Aiba let out a bone-chilling growl and Ohno immediately raised his neck, baring it at him.

“Aiba-chan, calm down…” Ohno said, keeping his neck bared towards his friend. The other alpha tried to move his arm out of his grip, but Ohno held onto it, afraid that Aiba would try to hurt Jun if he let go. He didn’t think Aiba would, but he didn’t want to take any chances.

Ohno looked over at Sho who was helping Jun back up on the bed, but was looking at the two alphas with wide eyes—he looked terrified. Ohno let out a small huff, immediately placing his neck up again when Aiba snapped his gaze back at him, still growling. “Aiba-chan, it’s okay. We’re not here for Sho-kun.”

Jun let out a small noise and pushed himself up on the bed. “Stop…” he rasped, rubbing his eyes with his hand. “Stop… growling at ‘im…”

“Are you trying to tell me what I should or should not do to defend my mate?” Aiba snapped at the weak alpha. Jun winced as he shifted on the bed. Sho began to fret beside him, trying to help him up, tensing as Aiba’s growls grew louder in volume. Ohno sighed inwardly as the tension in the room got worse. He had to get Sho and Aiba out of the room somehow.

“No… I meant Ohno-san…” Jun wheezed, groaning as he placed a hand on his head. “Stop... growling at him.”

Ohno looked at Jun in surprise. Jun knew that? He had thought Jun had been too out of it to notice, especially with Sho right beside him. Ohno knew that Sho’s scent was probably very overwhelming in such close proximity.

“Sho-kun,” Ohno called softly, careful to not work Aiba up any further, “why don’t you and Aiba-chan leave now? It’s okay, I can handle this.”

Sho looked hesitant, but he was beginning to get up and away from the bed slowly. “Are… are you sure, Ohno-kun?”

Ohno nodded, tensing again when Aiba started growling again. Ohno eyed his friend warily and tilted his neck up again. “It’s fine, Sho-kun,” he said, “I can handle it.”

Sho bit his lip, but realizing that it was probably better to let Ohno deal with the situation, he nodded. “Come on, Aiba-kun,” Sho said, walking over to them and placing a hand in Aiba’s. Ohno saw that Aiba immediately grabbed it and pulled Sho against his chest, still growling. Sho patted him on the back gently before pulling the two of them to the door. Before they left, Sho turned around to look at Ohno. “Good luck!”

Ohno nodded and watched as Sho shoved the both of the out of the room, shutting the door behind them with a bang. Ohno chuckled quietly when he heard the couple make a lot of noise outside before another bang indicated that they had shut another door.

“Oh… no…” Jun mumbled from the bed, turning his head slowly to look at the alpha across from him. Ohno quietly made his way to sit on the chair next to the bed, but Jun seemed to have other plans. Ohno’s eyes widened when Jun’s arm shot out to grab his, pulling him onto the bed with him. Ohno let out a small oof! but allowed himself to be manhandled on the bed to lie beside the alpha. His heart was beating rapidly, and Ohno could feel his own body start to respond to Jun’s heat.

“Matsumoto-san,” Ohno mumbled, placing a hand on the alpha’s arm. Jun sighed and curled himself closer toward him. “Matsumoto-san, do you know what’s happening right now?” Even if Jun was reacting positively to him right now, Ohno didn’t want to proceed any further if Jun didn’t seem to know what was happening, or if he didn’t give an okay to continue.

“Yes, and you’re here,” Jun sighed, wrapping an arm around Ohno’s back and pulled him closer so that they were attached to each other chest to chest. “Smells… good...” he mumbled, breathing in Ohno’s scent, nuzzling him. Ohno blushed as Jun continued his ministrations on him, stroking him softly, petting him, and just being affectionate. It was affecting him greatly. Ohno pushed his thighs together.

“Matsumoto-san…”

“Just call me Jun,” he murmured, sliding a hand down Ohno’s back. Feeling a little brave, Ohno tilted his head up and gently nibbled on Jun’s chin, relishing in the way Jun shivered at that. This… this was not what he was expecting when Sho had asked him to come.

Suddenly, there was a loud cry coming from outside the room, followed by some loud banging. Ohno couldn’t help it—he burst out into laughter. Jun looked bewildered at the noise, the volume of the cries getting louder.

“What—”

Ohno giggled when someone let out a loud moan. “Looks like someone is finished,” he said, his eyes crinkling up into crescent moons. Jun huffed, and looked away. “You got them pretty worked up earlier,” Ohno teased.

When the sounds finally stopped outside of the room (Ohno was amused at how loud they could get), Ohno could hear footsteps and the slamming of the front door. By now, both of the alphas in the room were rock hard. Ohno fidgeted a little.

Jun huffed again, and Ohno could tell he was embarrassed, even if his face was already red. Ohno thought it was adorable. He started to lean in close to Jun slowly, still unsure on whether or not Jun wanted to take it further. But then he thought, he pulled me into bed. That's something, right? Ohno decided to take the plunge and moved to kiss him. However, Jun let out a noise of protest and pulled away. Ohno felt his heart drop. Did he do something he wasn't supposed to again?

“No! I can't!” Jun whimpered, leaning back from Ohno, but still clutching onto him by the waist. He seemed confused on whether or not he should move away from him or not. “I can't,” he said again with a shake of his head, his words beginning to slur.

Ohno frowned. If he was slurring, that meant the heat was starting to get worse for Jun. “Jun-san, what's wrong?” he asked quietly, not wanting to upset the other alpha further.

Jun let out a whine. “I… I… did something bad.” Jun was whispering now and he looked devastated, even though he seemed really out of it. “And I don't think that I deserve you… after what happened.”

Numerous questions filled his mind, and Ohno wanted to grab Jun by the shoulders and shake him for the answer. But Jun looked like he was going to have his own panic attack, and Ohno tried to remain calm. What did Jun do? Ohno thought to himself as the alpha in front of him began to fidget on bed. Ohno placed a hand on Jun’s neck, trying to calm him down.

“What is it?” he mumbled softly. Jun looked hesitant, then winced as he seemed to remember what he wanted to say.

“I—I understand if you’ll hate me after this,” Jun whispered, terrified, “but I want you to know… I regretted it immediately after.”

Ohno had a feeling he knew what Jun was trying to hint at, but he didn't want to jump to conclusions. He tried to still the rapid beating of his heart and nodded up encouragingly at Jun. “I won't hate you,” he said. Ohno really didn't think he ever could.

“I… I…” Jun tightened his grip on Ohno’s waist before taking a deep breath and whispered, “I slept with an omega during the bond heat.”

Even if Ohno had been expecting something like this to come out or Jun’s mouth, it still hurt a lot. Ohno felt angry and disappointed at Jun for doing something like this, but he also felt incredibly jealous that someone else had had Jun when he was at his most vulnerable. And that pissed off Ohno even more. He couldn't be angry at Jun for sleeping with someone else though. They weren't even together. Yes, it hurt to hear that, and yes he wished Jun hadn't done that, but the past was the past and Ohno couldn't fault him for it, especially when he knew now that Jun regretted it with every fibre of his being. Especially if the terrified expression on his face was anything to go by.

“I'm sorry!” Jun said in a panic, mistaking Ohno’s silence for anger. “I know that I fucked up, but I was desperate and lonely and it was hot, and I was being a dumbass and—”

Ohno leaned forward and kissed him hard on the lips. Jun responded to him immediately, and Ohno wrapped an arm around Jun’s neck to pull him closer. They kissed and explored each other's mouths passionately and Ohno felt like it was a dream. Here was Jun touching him and kissing him like he never wanted to stop or let him go. Ohno wanted to be with him so much.

When they pulled apart, Jun tensed. Ohno watched as he licked his lips, not realizing how attractive that was. “I—”

Ohno tried to give him a comforting smile and reached up to stroke him lightly on the cheek. “I forgive you.”

“That easily?!” Jun exclaimed in shock. “But I—”

Ohno pulled him into another kiss, which Jun readily responded to. When the broke apart, Ohno rested his head against Jun’s chest.

“I'm not happy with what you did, but I don't blame you,” he mumbled. “I forgive you. And besides, you're mine.” He began to plant kisses on Jun’s jawline, causing the other alpha to pull him away to look down at him.

“I want you,” Jun panted in desperation. “I don't want to fight this anymore.”

Ohno wrapped a leg around Jun’s waist and pushed their hard bulges against each other, making them both groan. He licked at Jun’s lips affectionately before saying, “Then don't. Take me, Jun. I want you. I have never changed my mind.”

Jun let out a curse before initiating the kiss this time. Ohno let out a small sigh as Jun kissed him hungrily, hands sliding down his back to caress at the globes of his ass. “Are you sure?” Jun mumbled against his lips, biting Ohno’s bottom lip gently with his teeth.

“I’m yours,” Ohno replied.

That seemed to be the answer Jun needed because Ohno suddenly found himself on his back with Jun hovering over him on all fours. Ohno let Jun take control of the situation, lying back pliantly and letting Jun take what he needed. This was what he had wanted for so long, and now that Jun was all too willing, Ohno was going to enjoy whatever he could get from his mate.

Jun kissed him roughly, their lips locked in a dirty kiss as Jun began to strip him of his clothes. Ohno tried to do the same, unbuttoning Jun’s pants while trying to respond to Jun’s kisses that was driving him crazy with want. When they were rid of their clothes, Ohno sat up and laid against the bed. He beckoned Jun closer and grabbed him by the hips, pulling him closer. Jun grabbed onto the headboard of the bed behind him and let out a loud hiss when Ohno took him in all the way to the base.

Ohno hummed around him, enjoying the way Jun moaned above him, enjoying the way he tasted. He pulled back, swirling his tongue around his length as he pulled back to the tip of his mate’s cock before bobbing his head and hummed. Jun groaned and lifted one hand to brush his hand through Ohno’s hair, unconsciously pulling him closer to him. Ohno relaxed his throat and let Jun push himself further in his mouth.

“Your mouth,” Jun groaned before pulling back. Ohno chuckled and released himself with a small pop!

“You taste good,” Ohno told him before grabbing Jun’s cock in his hand and went back to sucking and licking him. He sucked hard on the tip of his mate’s cock, emitting a loud moan from the alpha above him. Ohno brought his tongue to the slit of Jun’s cock and lapped at the precum that was dripping out slowly before taking him all the way again.

Jun’s orgasm hit Ohno unexpectedly and he had to stay still while he came, making sure not to choke. When Jun was done Ohno swallowed his cum and made sure that nothing dribbled out of his mouth. When he pulled off, Jun was looking down at him so fondly that Ohno felt a little light-headed. He definitely wasn’t used to this affectionate Jun yet.

Jun pulled him in for a kiss again, and Ohno found it so hot that Jun was willing to kiss him, even after having the alpha’s dick and cum in his mouth. It was a filthy, wet, and messy kiss, but Ohno didn’t care. When they pulled apart to catch their breath, Ohno reached over to the side of the bed to grab the bottle of lube from his jeans pocket. Jun watched him in curiosity as he uncapped the bottle and spread some lube on his fingers.

Throwing the bottle to the side, Ohno rearranged their positions so that Jun was lying back on the pillows, legs spread out while Ohno climbed on top of him, leaning back and spreading his legs, giving Jun a nice view.

“Watch, don’t touch,” Ohno said teasingly and traced the outside of his hole with his finger before slowly pushing one in. Jun kept his gaze on Ohno the whole time, and Ohno found himself getting harder at the act of being watched. Jun’s eyes watched him hungrily as he prepared himself. Once Ohno was pumping three fingers inside himself, Jun let out a small growl, the scent of his heat getting stronger. Ohno felt drunk from it, and he needed Jun inside of him now.

Grabbing the bottle of lube again, Ohno began coating Jun’s hard cock with it generously before lifting himself up and positioning himself over him. He grabbed onto Jun’s cock and placed a hand on his mate’s stomach for balance as he slowly sunk down on his length. Jun let out a grunt as Ohno took more and more of Jun in. Ohno bit his lips, and let out a small moan at the feeling of being filled by his mate’s hard and hot cock.

When he bottomed out, Ohno let out a shaky breath before straddling Jun’s waist and leaning forward. Jun met him halfway and they started kissing again, only this time the kiss was much slower and more intimate. Ohno began to slowly fuck himself on Jun’s cock, rolling his hips occasionally and grinding himself on Jun. Jun let out a content sigh, and began thrusting up against Ohno, making the smaller alpha whimper in pleasure as he began bouncing on top of Jun.

Ohno only managed a few more thrusts before coming with a loud moan, clenching around Jun tightly, causing the other alpha to come shortly after him. Feeling Jun fill him up added more to his pleasure, and Ohno watched in fascination as Jun’s eyes closed and his mouth fell open as he came. When they were both finished, Ohno groaned and fell on top of Jun, resting his cheek on Jun’s chest.

“Are you tired already?” Jun asked breathlessly, caressing Ohno’s shoulder blades. Ohno grunted and gasped when he felt Jun get hard inside of him again. “Because I’m not,” he mumbled, wrapping his arms around Ohno’s waist and starting to knead Ohno’s ass with his hands. Ohno moaned and began pushing back against him.

Jun slipped out of Ohno and pushed him onto his side, so that they were facing each other. He placed his hand under Ohno’s thigh and lifted it while he slowly pushed back into Ohno. Ohno panted as Jun buried himself to the hilt and Ohno pulled himself closer to Jun, wrapping his thigh around Jun’s waist, connecting them. Jun slowly began moving in him, one hand caressing Ohno’s tanned thigh, while the other hand went up to grab Ohno by the chin to tilt his face up for another kiss.

Jun swallowed each and every one of Ohno’s moans and cries as he rocked into Ohno at a slow and steady pace, driving him out of his mind.

“Please,” Ohno begged, clenching around Jun and making the other alpha grunt. “Go faster…”

“Well, since you begged so nicely…” Jun grunted and pulled out, much to Ohno’s consternation before shoving his cock back in roughly, making Ohno cry out in surprise. Jun began fucking into Ohno at a fast and rough pace, Ohno’s body shaking at each thrust.

Ohno clutched at Jun’s arms as Jun mercilessly pounded into him. He brought his hand down to his leaking cock and tried to stroke himself to the rhythm of Jun’s cock. Cries of pleasure escaped Ohno’s lips as Jun drove in each time, each thrust seemingly rougher than the last and sending bundles of pleasure in his groin.

When Jun shifted slightly and sped up, hitting him in his prostate, Ohno let out a loud cry as he was assaulted with immense pleasure. “Jun-kun!” He shouted breathlessly as Jun kept pounding him in that spot. Jun growled and brought his head down to Ohno’s neck and began planting kisses on it. Ohno tilted his head back and pushed Jun’s face closer to him. “Do it,” Ohno panted between cries of pleasure. Jun let out a louder growl and began nipping at the skin. “Mark me. Make me yours.” When Jun bit down on his neck to claim him, Ohno lost it.

“J-J-un-kun!” Ohno stuttered again, chanting his name as his orgasm hit him, sending waves of pleasure down his spine. Jun leaned up to capture his lips, kissing and fucking him through his orgasm until Jun’s hips began to become jerky in their movements. Ohno moaned and clenched around Jun hard when he pushed back in. Jun let out a small groan of his own as he came inside him, filling Ohno up with his come.

The two of them laid there, still connected, trying to calm their breathing down. After a long moment, Ohno let out a soft chuckle and wiped at the come on his stomach. “We’re dirty,” he said. Jun huffed and and gave Ohno’s ass a light slap.

“Sex does that,” Jun replied in amusement. Ohno noted that he sounded tired. Tired, but much more cheerful. “We need to shower.”

Ohno let out a small groan of annoyance. “I don’t want to move.”

“I know,” Jun said apologetically, “but we’re going to be sticky if we don’t.” Ohno was fascinated by this kind Jun.

“Not yet,” Ohno mumbled, his eyes starting to droop. He was so sleepy. “Let’s just stay like this for a little bit…”

“Okay let me just…” Jun slowly pulled out of him, patting Ohno’s thigh lightly when Ohno let out a hiss. When Jun tangled his legs up with Ohno’s, Ohno scooted close to him and rested his head under Jun’s chin.

“Just ten minutes…” Ohno mumbled, his eyes falling shut. Jun chuckled, and lightly stroked Ohno’s arm up and down.

“Okay, but I’m really going to kick you out of bed after,” Jun warned playfully.

He didn’t.


Ohno woke up to the sound of clanging in the kitchen.

Letting out a small groan of annoyance, Ohno rubbed his face into his pillow a few times before lifting his head. Trying to blink his eyes open, Ohno vaguely registered that he wasn’t in his room.

Oh, right.

The entire room smelled like a mix of his and Jun’s scents from their copulation yesterday. Ohno couldn’t help the grin that spread across his face as flashes of what happened yesterday appeared in his mind. He jumped when the door of the room opened.

“Oh, you’re awake!” Jun said in surprise. Ohno turned over and sat up. Jun walked over to him carrying a tray full of food and a glass of milk, setting it down on the bedside table. “I made breakfast… if that’s okay?”

Ohno wanted to kiss him. He definitely wasn’t expecting this. He grinned at Jun and turned to look at the food. “It’s great! Thank you!”

“I didn’t know what you liked… so I made a bit of everything…” Jun said sheepishly. Ohno shook his head.

“I can eat almost anything. It looks so good!” It really did. He picked up the chopsticks from the tray and popped an octopus sausage in his mouth. “Thanks!” he said again. Jun blushed and shook his head.

“It’s nothing…”

“Have you eaten?” Ohno asked, trying a bit of the omelette. He made another noise of delight when he placed it in his mouth, making Jun chuckle.

“Yeah, I ate before I made yours.”

Ohno hummed happily, munching on the food. Jun watched him in amusement as he cleared the plate. When he ate everything off the plate, Ohno let out a content sigh and wiped his mouth with the napkin. “That was delicious!”

Jun grinned. “I’m glad you thought so.” Ohno returned his grin and sat back against the pillows. The room fell into a comfortable silence before Jun slipped off his slippers and climb back into bed with him. Ohno wanted to snuggle up next to him, but he wasn’t sure if Jun wanted that. Even if the other alpha had made breakfast for him, it wasn’t a sure sign that Jun was totally accepting of the relationship.

His hesitance was answered when Jun slid next to him and slipped an arm around his waist, pulling him closer. Ohno relaxed against him, enjoying Jun’s scent around him and just… being there.

“We need to... talk,” Jun said after a few moments of silence, “about… us.”

Ohno tensed before relaxing. “Okay,” he mumbled. Was Jun regretting this?

“First, I would like to apologize to you. For the events that occurred in the past few weeks. I know I was an asshole, and you didn’t deserve that,” Jun began, his voice shaking from nervousness. Ohno shrugged.

“It happened, but that’s the past now,” Ohno replied. Jun frowned at him.

“Even if it did, how I acted was uncalled for. I should’ve talked it out with you first, instead of running away.”

“You were scared,” Ohno pointed out.

“That doesn’t mean I had to be an ass about it,” Jun said with a sigh, “I’m sorry I acted that way.”

“I told you,” Ohno said softly, pushing away from Jun to look at him directly. “I forgive you.”

“How are you so forgiving about this?” Jun asked in astonishment. “How are you able to accept our bond so easily?”

Ohno felt his heart warm when he heard Jun used the word, bond. He shrugged. “I just didn’t question it too much. Even if we are both alphas, we’re still soulmates. Fate put us together, and that’s enough for me.”

“You don’t… you’re not scared that there may be a possibility that one of us might fall in love with an omega?” Jun asked quietly.

Ohno frowned at him. How did Jun come to this conclusion? “I don’t know where you’re getting this idea from. Jun-kun, I will never leave you. I don't think you’ll do that to me either, right?” Jun shook his head frantically. “See? So why worry? We’re soulmates.”

“I guess you're right,” Jun said with a sigh. Then he stiffened, pulling his lips into a grimace. “And you’re not mad? That I slept with…” Jun trailed off, looking away in shame. Ohno felt the alpha get even more tense beside him, and he placed a hand on Jun’s thigh.

“I’m not not angry, but… I forgive you. I understand why you did it,” Ohno said truthfully. And it was true, Ohno couldn’t fault Jun for that. They had not been together when the act happened. Ohno wished it didn’t, but it did, and there was nothing to do but move forward from it.

“It’s not like it helped any,” Jun grumbled. “The heat just wouldn’t stop.” Ohno grinned, and nudged Jun in the stomach with his elbow.

“What clued you in that the bond heat was real?” Ohno teased.

“When it wouldn’t go away even after… all that.” Jun sighed, and looked at Ohno in mock anger, who had burst into a fit of giggles.

“Well, it’s gone now.”

Jun nodded and sighed again in relief. “Thank goodness for that.”

Ohno smiled and reached up and touched the mark on his neck. The spot was still tender, but Ohno loved it—it meant that he belonged to Jun. Jun’s eyes strayed to the mark, and he blushed.

“Does... does it hurt?” Jun asked nervously.

Ohno shook his head. “No, not at all.”

Jun reached out to trace a finger over the mark. Ohno hummed, closing his eyes and rested his head against Jun’s chest. They fell into another comfortable silence, sitting in the bed together and enjoying each other’s company. Jun broke the silence a few minutes later.

“It’s going to take me a while,” he blurted out.

“Hm?”

“This. Us.” Jun gestured between them. Ohno stayed quiet, waiting for Jun to continue, not wanting to jump to conclusions just yet. “I want this,” Jun said sternly, “but I still… I need time to get over my previous… views about it. I hope you can only be patient with me.”

“But you want this right? You want this bond with me?” Ohno asked worriedly, trying to calm the rapid beating of his heart.

Jun nodded frantically. “Yes! I do. Like I said, I just need time to… get used to the idea of two alphas together.” He grimaced. Ohno rubbed Jun’s thigh soothingly.

“I can wait. I waited 36 years to meet you. I can wait for a little longer,” Ohno said calmly.

“That’s… that’s a lot of pressure,” Jun admitted, his face turning red again. Ohno liked that look on him. He needed to get that to happen more often.

Ohno shrugged. “But it’s the truth.”

“It’s so embarrassing!” Jun exclaimed, his face getting redder. He removed his arm from Ohno’s waist and slid down on the bed, hiding his face with his arms.

Ohno hummed, and tried to pull Jun’s arms away. When Ohno got them away, Jun was looking up at him with a pout. Cute, Ohno thought before leaning down so that their faces were approximately a few centimetres apart.

“What?” Jun mumbled, averting his eyes away.

Ohno shook his head and murmured, “I’m going to kiss you now, Jun-kun.” That was all the warning he gave before capturing Jun’s lips with his own.

Ohno kissed him gently, bringing his hands to cradle Jun’s face in them. Jun let out a content sigh, relaxing into the kiss. Ohno pushed himself onto of Jun, grinding their half hard bulges together. Jun let out a small moan which Ohno smirked at.

They kissed slowly but passionately for the next few minutes. They took turns dominating the kiss, one alpha over the other. Ohno laid pliant on top of Jun, just enjoying the way Jun was caressing his body as he explored Ohno’s mouth. After a few minutes, they broke apart to breathe, but their lips were still touching.

“Did you want to…?” Jun mumbled against his lips, hands traveling down his back to cup the cheeks of his bottom. Ohno shook his head.

“I'm still feeling a little sore from yesterday and I have to go somewhere today—”

“I'm sorry!” Jun blurted out, looking regretful, “I should have—”

Ohno claimed his lips again, kissing him hungrily this time, dominating the kiss. Jun easily responded to him. When they broke apart again, Ohno clicked his tongue.

“You need to stop that,” he scolded, giving Jun a kiss on the cheek. “I don't mind.”

“But—”

“Jun-kun, I don't mind. I haven't done it in a long time, and it's only natural.”

Jun pursed his lips and slowly nodded. Then he frowned. “Wait. What do you mean you haven't done it in a long time? Have you—”

“I have. Before. When I was in university,” Ohno said. “It was actually with Aiba-chan.”

Jun looked at him in shock. “Aiba-san?! Sho’s soulmate?!” he asked, his voice going up an octave.

“Yeah, we used to be… well, we would help each other out sometimes.” Ohno laughed when Jun started sputtering. “It was in the past. I promise that my ass is only for you.”

Jun flushed and scowled. “It better be. Oh— I mean—I didn't mean that I owned you or—”

“Jun-kun, breathe,” Ohno said, chuckling at him. “And I'm not offended. I don't care if you're feeling possessive.” He gave Jun a soft kiss on the lips. “I know how it feels. I'm an alpha too.”

“I don't want to offend you,” Jun said with a grunt. Ohno shook his head.

“I doubt you can. Unless you cheat on me or leave me.” He shrugged.

“I won't.”

“I know you won't.” Ohno said, beaming at him before reaching down between them to squeeze the head of Jun’s cock. Jun jumped, but spread his legs wider to accommodate Ohno. “Quickie?” Ohno asked, watching Jun’s expression. Jun nodded.

“How do you want to do it?” he asked, already reaching down to clasp his hand around Ohno’s cock. Ohno began to grind against his hand while keeping his own hand clasped around Jun’s cock, trying to match the rhythm of his thrusts. Jun let out a soft grunt when Ohno squeezed his hand around the head of his cock before moving it up and down faster. Jun copied him, trying to match his rhythm to Ohno’s.

The room began to fill with sounds of their grunts and groans as they tried to bring each other to the edge. Ohno then rolled off of Jun on his side and placed a leg over Jun’s waist, pulling himself closer to him, making their crotches touch. Ohno wrapped a hand around both of them, pushing their cocks together even more and began to move his hand faster. Jun sighed and pulled Ohno in for a wet and dirty kiss while his free hand wrapped around Ohno’s own, matching his speed.

Ohno moaned at the extra pressure, which Jun greedily swallowed with a kiss. After a few more strokes, Ohno was coming in their hands. Jun continued to stroke him through it, swallowing his moans and gasps with his kisses. Jun came a few moments after him, when Ohno slid his thumb across the slit on the tip of his mate’s cock.

When they both managed to get their breath back, Ohno heard Jun let out a small noise of appreciation before he saw his lover leaning forward to give him a kiss. Ohno sighed happily into the kiss and wrapped his arms around Jun, pulling the other alpha closer to him.

“Change your plans,” Jun murmured, when they broke apart. Jun rested his head against Ohno’s and closed his eyes. Ohno rubbed Jun’s back gently, enjoying the feel of the muscles underneath. “Stay in bed with me today.”

Who was Ohno to say no?

Part Five
