Learning to Love

Summary:

Omegas aren't allowed to be heroes. Alpha heroes often keep them as a sort of rut aid, like a house maid that serves a different purpose. Keigo really likes living with Enji under those pretenses, even if the alpha can be a bit harsh sometimes. There's a certain tenderness Keigo will always have in his heart for the brash alpha. It takes Keigo getting kidnapped for Enji to realize he has the same feelings.

Work Text:

Another day, another hundred criminals brought to justice. Back in his civvies, Enji slid into the back of a car and let his driver take him back to the estate. It wasn’t that Enji didn’t enjoy what he did; he took pride in the low crime rate in his sector, but some days were a grind. All he wanted was to come home to his little pet. Keigo was the only one who really brought him enjoyment anymore. His family had rejected him, were still sapping off his fortune, and there was nothing he could do about it anymore. At least he always had a pretty little omega to greet him at the door.

Except, when he came through the door today, Keigo was nowhere to be seen.

Enji growled low in his throat and turned to a servant, who was in the middle of bowing to him. “Where is he.”

“Last I saw, he was in his room, sir,” she responded, head hung to the alpha in submission, even if she was a beta.

Heavy footsteps pounded through the hallways until he reached Keigo’s door and flung it open. It seemed his omega had heard the footsteps a second too late; he was in the middle of scrambling out of his nest, eyes wide with realization.

“Do you know what time it is, little bird?” he said, blue eyes boring holes into Keigo.

“I-I must have lost track of time,” he gasped, stumbling to his feet and bowing his head. “I’m so sorry, sir.”

The redhead stepped into the room, eyeing Keigo like the prey he was. “I don’t ask much of you,” he growled, placing heated hands on Keigo’s shoulders. “I work hard every day to keep a roof over your head and food in your belly, and this is how you repay me? Forgetting to greet your alpha at the door? And to think, I almost decided to visit you during your heat.” Enji circled around, drawing his hands across Keigo’s shoulders and turning the blond to face his bed. Without warning, he shoved Keigo down and brought a harsh, hot hand down across his ass.

Unacceptable! ” he roared. “I do everything for you. Without me, you’re nothing!

Keigo whined sharply in the back of his throat, but didn’t otherwise protest the harsh treatment. He looked like a lot was going on in his head as Enji spoke. “I know, sir. I-I’m sorry.”

“This was the last thing I wanted to deal with tonight.” He spun Keigo around again and gripped his throat, pulling him up so their faces were inches apart. “Don’t disappoint me again, birdy, or you’re going back in the box.”

With that threat, Enji tossed the omega to the ground and kicked a giant foot through the nest Keigo had clearly been working on today, ruining a good portion of it.

“You’ll be fetched after dinner. Only good pets get to eat. You know the rules, damnit,” he spat, slamming the door and leaving Keigo a mess on the floor.

Once he was alone, Keigo couldn’t help a scared little whimper to himself. Being trapped in the hole during a heat… it hadn’t happened yet, but the idea was terrifying. He’d withstood a lot of Enji’s rage, but that might just break him for good.

For a while, he didn’t have it in him to move at all. He knew better than to try and fix his nest when Enji was mad at him, even if his omega was screaming at him to rebuild the corner that had been destroyed. The little downy feathers he’d tucked into key parts of the nest had scattered, drifting uselessly to the floor. Keigo couldn’t look. He crawled to the end of his bed and wrapped himself in a blanket that had somehow ended up there, shoving down his emotions. It wouldn’t be good if Enji came back before he could numb himself more fully.

Enji ate alone. He hated having to punish Keigo in this way, for selfish reasons. He’d really come to enjoy Keigo’s company at his dinner table. The servants all ate in their quarters, so aside from when his food was delivered, he was alone. When he finished, he left his dishes where they were and retired to his bedroom, stripping down and calling for a servant to fetch Keigo.

When Keigo arrived, he was also stripped bare. He walked in slowly with his head tipped down and to the side in submission, kneeling at Enji’s feet. His scent was sour with guilt; Enji knew he must feel genuinely terrible about forgetting what time it was, even without knowing he was about to be punished.

“There’s a good omega. You know right where you belong, don’t you?” he rumbled, letting his pheromones fill the room.

“I do, sir,” Keigo mumbled, trying to let himself relax so he didn’t stink up the room.

“Come here, little birdy.”

The omega took Enji’s hand when it was offered to him and stood, still keeping his head down and exposing his neck. “I’m sorry I lost track of time, sir. I know how tiring your work is.”

Enji clicked his tongue and gripped the back of Keigo’s neck, shoving him down face first and bending him over the side of the bed. “Let’s get this punishment over with so you can get to making it up to me,” he hummed, heading for his closet to pull out a red leather whip.

“I hate that I have to beat this into you. Maybe one day you’ll learn. How many do you think you deserve, little bird?” Enji asked, sliding a hand up Keigo’s lower back.

The blond arched his back, presenting his ass for Enji. “Um… ten, sir. Is that enough…?” He bit his lip and peered back at Enji with a pleading look in his eyes. His wings laid flat along the bed on either side of him as he tried to make himself as open as he could.

“Twenty it is,” Enji said, bringing the whip down once across both cheeks. Keigo gasped at the sudden rush of stinging heat, and Enji absolutely ate up his reactions and the bloom of red across his ass. Two more strikes in a row, and Enji’s cock was already twitching with interest. He was a sadist, and as much as Keigo was a masochist, the whip was definitely his least favorite toy. It was just a bit too harsh for him, and Enji knew that. It was why he saved it for punishments, for when he was really genuinely angry with Keigo.

“Th-thank you, sir,” the omega whimpered, looking to Enji with watery eyes that looked far too pretty for his own good. “More, please…”

God, he fucking loved when Keigo begged for it. Hit after hit, Enji’s cock filled out more and more, and by the time he delivered the last hits, his own breath was heavy, and his cock was drooling a little dab of precum. He looked over his work; one or two of the welts were bleeding, and Keigo was sobbing, even though his own little cock was straining just as hard.

“Now, tell me why alpha had to punish you.”

“Because I didn’t come to greet alpha at the door,” he sniffled, forehead pressed to the bed. “I didn’t obey the rules.”

“That’s right. Now you’re going to make it up to me, little bird. You do want to make your alpha feel good, don’t you?” he said, softening his voice. 

“Y-yes!”

Enji laid down on the bed and let his legs spread open, knowing Keigo would immediately crawl up and situate himself between them. Keigo wrapped a hand around the alpha’s cock and groaned at the way he could already feel his knot swelling. Without hesitation, he licked along the underside before taking the head in his mouth and working his way down.

“Fuck,” Enji groaned, thrusting his hips up slowly into that wet heat. One large hand came down and tangled in blond locks. “That’s it, little omega. Suck alpha’s cock nice and hard. Gonna fill your pretty mouth with my cum.”

Keigo moaned deep at his words and relaxed his throat. As he went further down, he let saliva drip down to make it easier for him to take more and more until his lips met the beginning of Enji’s knot. Enji groaned softly as the omega worked between his legs and gripped his hair tight, slowly pulling back and fucking up into Keigo’s throat. As much as Keigo wanted to pull back a little, he let Enji fully control his movements, eyes darting up to meet icy blues.

“Fuck, your mouth is tight,” he moaned, “almost as tight as that slutty fucking pussy you have. Gonna have you stuck on my knot all fucking night.”

Keigo was used to this, knew to breathe when Enji pulled back and how to keep his throat nice and relaxed. The combination of the assault to his throat and the dirty talk had him itching for friction, but he was trying so hard to be good… so he gripped Enji’s thighs to ground himself and keep his hands busy.

“See what you get when you’re a good slut? You get alpha’s cock.” Enji pushed Keigo down lower so his knot slid to his lips. The closer he got, the more he forced his cock down Keigo’s throat, and he growled harshly when he felt the beginnings of his knot slide behind the omega’s teeth. “I can smell how slick you are, little bird. You always love it when I’m rough like this. Fucking whore. Gonna fucking knot your mouth, you greedy bitch.”

Panic rose in Keigo’s chest as the growing knot slid painfully behind his teeth. Enji’s knot was huge … if it popped behind his teeth, he’d suffocate or break his jaw. He looked up to Enji with a pleading, anxious look in his eyes and tried to shake his head. The scent of slick was strong, but that sour smell of anxiety was beginning to permeate through it.

“You can take it. Be a good little omega. You wanna be good, right?”

The alpha thrust his knot past Keigo’s lips a few more times like that, loving the look of fear in his eyes. At the last moment, he pulled back and gripped his knot, preventing it from locking behind Keigo’s jaw as he came down the omega’s throat. 

“Fuck, you love knowing I could fucking end you, don’t you?” he chuckled harshly, pulling his cock out of Keigo’s mouth.

The rush of relief when Enji came with a hand around his knot was nearly enough to send Keigo over the edge himself. He forced himself to hang on, knowing the punishment would be far worse if he came without permission.

“Yes, sir,” he panted, coughing a little when his airway was free. Cum and saliva gathered on his lips, and he licked it up so he could show Enji his tongue.

“I want you to know, you’re lucky I’m as forgiving as I am. Next time, I’ll knot your mouth, and chances are, you’ll break your jaw. So tread lightly, omega,” he warned, sliding a hand up and down his spit and cum covered cock. “Now, come ride me. My knot aches thanks to my kindness.”

Keigo pulled his tongue back in and swallowed thickly, hating the way his cunt ached at that prospect. His self destructive tendencies were going to have him killed one day…

“Thank you, sir,” he whimpered, quickly rising and crawling on top of Enji. He reached beneath his aching cock and fingered himself for just a brief moment, then lined up the head of Enji’s dick and slid down onto him with a deep moan. 

“Fuck!” Enji groaned, gripping Keigo’s hips and pushing them all the way down. His eyes were glued to the sight of his cock impaling the omega… fuck, he felt so good. He loved Keigo’s pussy, the way he always stayed nice and tight, the way he gripped him perfectly. The smell of Keigo’s arousal made his alpha scream. 

The stretch had Keigo’s eyes rolling back and his wings twitching, like they wanted to spread out. His cock was absolutely drooling by now, and he had to hesitate for a moment to keep himself from immediately coming undone with the sensation of being so full.

“W-wanna cum, sir…” he breathed, though his expression made it clear he’d hold himself back if he wasn’t given permission. He rolled his hips slowly, angling himself in a way that didn’t press the head of Enji’s cock to his prostate.

Enji was having none of that. He gripped Keigo’s hips harder and shifted his own, fucking up right into Keigo’s sweet spot. “Wanna hear you beg, little omega. Beg for your alpha to let you cum on his cock.”

Heat seared along Keigo’s hips as the alpha activated his quirk, just enough to burn. “Sh-shit!” Keigo gasped, clamping down hard as he focused on holding himself back. “Please alpha, please sir, need it so bad! Please let me cum, I was so good, gonna be so good for master, pl-lease…”

“You’re such a nasty bitch, getting off on my fucking quirk.” Enji growled and snapped his hips harder; Keigo sobbed and gripped at his own thighs in response, trying to ground himself. “Fuck, you’re such a good slut. Cum for me, untouched. You leave that pathetic little cock alone. You’re gonna cum just from your alpha’s cock in your cunt.”

The omega screamed and arched his back, hands flying to Enji’s thighs for support. He bucked his hips harshly, wasting no time in bringing himself up to the edge he’d been trying to back away from.

“Fuck, fuck, g-gonna cum, m-MASTER!”

Slick gushed around Enji’s cock, and his own cum dribbled down onto the alpha’s abdomen. He didn’t stop slamming his hips down, no matter how overstimulated he was. A moment later, Enji came with a howl as his knot popped and locked the omega to him. Hot hands gripped Keigo’s hips tighter as Enji kept rolling his own hips up, thrusting through both their orgasms.

“Fuck, omega, gonna breed your pussy so fucking full. Gonna fuck you full of pups.”

“Oh fuck, fuck, pups, please—!”

Keigo sobbed through a second orgasm that totally blindsided him. His wings spread wide, feathers ruffling as tremors ran through his whole body. “D-daddy please I can’t, no more,” he gasped, struggling to keep himself upright.

“You can take it, you can fucking take it! Fuck!” Enji cursed, emptying his balls completely into the omega. Heat flared up his arms for a moment, then died out as his arms fell back onto the bed. He panted through the high of his orgasm as it washed over him.

The burn of Enji’s fire was nothing new. Keigo leaned back from it just enough to keep his skin from burning, then collapsed forward onto Enji.

“My fucking cumsleeve,” the alpha groaned, reaching between them and feeling Keigo’s bloated stomach. “Look how fucking full you are.”

“Just for y-you, sir,” Keigo whimpered, panting to catch his breath. “Thank you, sir…”

“That’s a good boy,” Enji purred, letting the smell of satisfied omega fill his head. He closed his eyes and soaked in the moment… their combined scents, the feel of his knot in Keigo’s pussy, the feel of his omega’s weight on top of him, all of it. “You did good, little birdy. So good for alpha now. You learned your lesson, right?”

“Yes, sir,” he rumbled, letting a purr vibrate through his chest. Keigo knew this wouldn’t last long, but he tried to focus on the moment, rather than dwelling on what happened when it was over. “I promise I’ll be at the door for you. I’m really sorry I got distracted today.”

“I know you will be, my obedient little omega. I’ll remind you every time you forget. That’s what a good alpha does.” Enji kissed the omega’s forehead and down his neck, moving his hips slowly. “My good little omega. Why don’t you move those hips, baby. Wanna fill you up again, nice and slow.”

Keigo chirped at the praise, feathers ruffling. He loved how soft Enji got after a good knot. It made him completely forget he was ever in trouble. 

“Yes, please, sir,” he whined softly, sitting up and rocking his hips just slowly. “S-so sensitive… m’so wet from you, sir…”

“Fuck, you’re so pretty, baby bird. I love seeing you ride me like this.” The redhead ran his hands up Keigo’s back, gently massaging the tender spot under his wings. Keigo groaned in pleasure and relaxed at how good it felt. Enji brought a hand back down and wrapped it around Keigo’s little cock, slowly pumping it in rhythm with the roll of the omega’s hips.

“So good to me, sir…” Keigo moaned, letting his wings twitch and rustle behind him. This slow pace was always so nice after a really intense session, even if he was still sensitive. He couldn’t pull back far, but he kept rocking his hips back and forth in a constant rhythm, eyes locked with Enji’s.

“You smell so good when you’re in preheat,” Enji groaned, watching the sweat drip down the blond’s brow and leaning up to lap it up. “Makes me want to keep you around so I can fuck the heat out of you.”

His alpha was growling possessively in his head as he licked and sucked down to Keigo’s scent gland. Enji’s alpha had never called anyone his mate before, but here he was, fighting the urge to sink his teeth into delicate flesh.

Mate. Mine.

Enji did his best to ignore the incessant voice in his head and trailed large, warm hands down the omega’s sides, feeling his small waist and wide hips.

Good for pups.

He gave a primal growl and thrusted up, forcing himself just a little deeper inside Keigo.

“Mmmh. Omega, so good. Such a good omega.”

He could tell he was getting scent drunk, but it seemed like Keigo was, too. The more they got wrapped up in each other, the more powerful their pheromones grew. It was a continuous reaction chain that wouldn’t end until they both calmed down and got their fill.

Keigo usually had an easy time ignoring the deep instinctual need for a mate, but like this, so close to his heat and especially during heat itself, it became nearly impossible. He kept his slow pace, as torturous as it was, until he felt Enji’s knot deflate just enough to give him some leeway.

“W-want pups,” he keened before he could stop himself. He felt so good, and the idea of being stuck on Enji’s knot throughout his heat had his omega ready to do anything to keep the redhead to himself. “Please, alpha, please…!”

“How bad do you want it, little omega?” Enji taunted. “Tell alpha how bad you want my pups. Want to be my little breeder? Is that what you want, baby bird?” He slid his hands up to Keigo’s chest and tweaked his nipples, rolling his hips harder into him. 

“You want to get your tits nice and full of milk, so alpha can drain you dry while you cry on my knot? Fuck, you’re so good on my knot, baby…”

“P-pups! Please,” Keigo sobbed, struggling with coherent sentences, much less thoughts.

“Wanna fill you up, baby bird, fuck my perfect omega with a slutty pussy. Tell me baby, would you want any alpha to fill you up? Want me to bring all my alpha friends to see which one can fill you up? You could be stuck to knots for hours. You want that?”

The omega was quickly losing his mind, but he whined harshly and shook his head when Enji suggested friends . Enji was the only one allowed. Keigo was owned, and he liked it that way.

“Only daddy bird’s,” he gasped out, eyes fucked out and yet fierce as they locked onto Enji’s. Without control, he leaned in close and sucked at Enji’s throat, down to his scent gland. “Mine,” he growled into the skin, trying to push the alpha further.

Enji loved watching Keigo fall apart for him, and something primal in him growled happily when the omega declared him as his own. Daddy bird was a new nickname, and Enji couldn’t say he hated it… actually, he really liked it. The flicker of possession in Keigo’s eyes almost brought him to another orgasm. Almost. Enji lost it when Keigo growled and sucked at his scent gland. With one more harsh thrust up, a thick hand gripped Keigo’s neck, and Enji pulled him down, biting just an inch away from his scent gland. His knot inflated fully again, and he growled fiercely around the flesh in his mouth. 

The blond gasped and yelped, startled by how fast Enji’s attitude turned, but he quickly cried out and came hard around the alpha’s knot when a hand clamped down around his neck. He went totally pliant in Enji’s hands, making no move to clear his airway or flinch away from the teeth in his neck. Warmth flooded around Enji’s cock; Keigo was so full that his slick was seeping out past his knot. As he came down, he chirped softly, only then trying to move and nose his way over to Enji’s scent gland.

This time, Enji was totally spent. It took a few rounds for him to feel satisfied, spoiled by Keigo’s stamina, but something in him felt different this time… happy. He turned his head for Keigo, and the little bird hummed happily and suckled just gently at Enji’s scent gland. For once, he found he didn’t mind it. The idea of Keigo round with pups had done something to him. Maybe it was that, or maybe it was simply something inside himself that had changed. Either way, this felt different from every other time they’d fucked, just as rough but somehow more intimate.

His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Keigo’s belly rumbling loudly. The omega whined and blushed, burying his face in Enji’s neck to hide it.

“Sorry, master…” he mumbled. “I, um, forgot to eat lunch today…”

Enji chuckled softly and carded his hand through soft blond hair. “You did well, little bird. I’ll let you have your dinner when my knot goes down. You’ve earned it.”

“Really? Are you sure…?” Enji never showed such kindness, not even after a thorough session like this. He must be feeling kind.

“Positive.” He pressed a little kiss to the crown of Keigo’s head. “I’ve decided. When your heat comes, I’ll spend as much of it with you as I can. I don’t think I can take time away from work, but一”

“Thank you,” Keigo whimpered, hugging the alpha tightly. “You really don’t have to…”

“I want to. I’ve been thinking, perhaps it’s time we start trying to get you pupped.”

He could tell Keigo liked that idea by the way his pussy clamped down around his knot. Keigo barely contained a little squeak of excitement, and his feathers ruffled behind him.

“Y-yes. I’d love that.”

Enji smiled and relaxed back into the bed, rubbing a warm hand along Keigo’s back. Just a few more days. He couldn’t wait to see Keigo sobbing for his knot.

-----------

A few days later, Enji came home later than usual, stomach rumbling unhappily and head throbbing. It had been a long day. He’d take bashing villains over paperwork and meetings any day. Sometimes, the deskwork just caught up to him.

Keigo wasn’t at the door again, he noted with an annoyed sigh. He didn’t have the energy for this tonight一

Wait.

He took a deep breath, taking in the scents in his home. The maids had his dinner ready, that much he could tell, but… someone else had been here. He dropped his suitcase and shoes at the door and made for the kitchen, where he was sure most of his maids were.

Keigo’s scent was stale.

“Where is he?” he growled.

The little betas blinked at each other in surprise, and the head maid frowned at him in confusion. “He’s with the doctor for a checkup today. Wasn’t it on your schedule?”

Absolutely not. Enji kept close tabs on Keigo’s schedule. There was no way he’d have an appointment that wasn’t on Enji’s schedule.

“What did the person who picked him up look like?”

“He was a bit of an odd fellow. His whole face looked like black fire. Why, did you not schedule an appointment for him?”

“No, I fucking didn’t.”

Her face paled, eyes widened. Behind her, one of the male servants scrambled for Enji’s office to check security cameras. Enji stalked after him in a hurry, anxiety rising in his chest.

The man who picked up Keigo looked familiar, but not for good reasons. He was almost positive he’d seen the man’s headshot in a file on the League of Villains. A quick search through his records proved him right: Kurogiri was the only name they had for the villain.

Luckily, he had security cameras watching outside the estate. They were able to track Kurogiri and Keigo to a dark corner of the garden, where the man opened what looked like a portal and disappeared through it. It wasn’t until that point that Keigo began to look panicked, glancing around and flicking worried eyes to the security camera he knew was poised off the top of the veranda.

Fuck. Enji snarled and slammed a hand down on his desk.

“I’m going out. His heat was supposed to start tomorrow. Maybe I can sniff him out.”

“I’ll inform the authorities for you,” the servant said, already dialing the police. “You said he was part of the League of Villains?”

“Call into the agency. My sidekicks should still be there. Tell them to investigate what they can and find the League’s hideout. One of the agencies should have a lead. They have to.”

Someone has to know.

-----------

Enji got absolutely no rest that night. He stayed out as late as he could, roaming the streets and trying to pick out his omega’s scent. No such luck. Wherever Kurogiri took Keigo, the omega must have never been on the street. When he finally gave up for the night and went home, he barely ate, could barely sleep. His alpha was going crazy with worry. Something primal was outraged that some lowlife villains had the nerve to take his omega. 

He wasn’t quite sure when he’d gotten so possessive of Keigo, but he could worry about that issue later. 

Early in the morning, his phone rang. Jeanist , the screen read. He answered it immediately. 

“Tell me you have news.”

“I do. I hope I didn’t wake you.”

“There was no way in hell I was getting any sleep tonight, Hakamada. Just tell me what you know.”

“There’s an abandoned building at the south end of Okinawa. There were reports of a winged man being dragged into it against his will. It’s a little weak, but I think you should go down there and see if you can sniff him out.”

“Send me the GPS location. I’ll head over right away. And… thank you.”

“I hope you’d do the same if anything ever happened to Rumi. Go get your omega.”

The redhead was quick to throw on his suit, and once he quickly washed his face to try and wake himself up some, he was off like a jet in the night. Okinawa was a few hours away, but Enji didn’t stop once. He’d trained for years for this kind of non-stop quirk usage. 

When he got to the area Best Jeanist had sent him to, he smelled it almost immediately. Keigo’s scent was stale and faint, but it was there. He’d been through the street he landed on. With the threat of rain in the air, Enji knew he didn’t have much time… he had to track down which building the reports had been talking about.

Stealth wasn’t Enji’s strong suit. Even without the rage building in his belly, he was too bulky to be stealthy the way Miruko bounced along on light rabbit feet, or the way Selkie swam undetected leagues under the sea. He stormed the place once he found the building he was looking for, following the scent of a terribly distressed omega. Keigo’s usual lavender tea scent was sickly sweet, yet spicy at the same time. It left a bad taste in Enji’s mouth and nearly drove him mad. The closer he got to the source, the more red filled his vision, the more the taste of copper mixed with Keigo on his tongue. 

Finally.

Enji kicked in the door to what must have been the bar at an old hotel and quickly took in his surroundings. Keigo wasn’t in sight, but he could hear him hissing angrily from what sounded like a hallway. Behind the bar stood Kurogiri, the man who’d appeared so clearly on his security cameras. 

“So he finally decided to show up,” a man chuckled, voice low and gravelly in an almost inhuman way. For a moment, something familiar washed over Enji, the scent of hickory, but it was gone just as quickly as it had crossed his nose.

“Show yourself,” Enji snarled, stalking past the man behind the bar and down the hallway. Kurogiri seemed in no hurry to stop him, almost as if he didn’t even notice Enji was there. Just as well. Kurogiri might as well have not been there, as far as Enji was concerned. All he was worried about was Keigo. The scent of heat was stifled, muted, but still just barely there. 

“Not a chance,” the voice sighed. “Since you went through so much trouble to come find us, you can have your broken omega back. He won’t submit, anyway. Don’t know why you’d bother with such a disobedient thing.”

“He’s not yours, and he knows it.” Enji stomped around a corner, only to find Keigo tied to a chair in a now completely empty room. “Get out here so I can kill you.”

“Maybe next time, old man.”

Enji blinked at the crackling sound of fire, followed by a deafening silence. They were alone. He could smell it… whoever had been speaking was gone, and he suspected it was thanks to Kurogiri.

“Enji…” Keigo whined, drawing the alpha’s attention. Enji was at his side in a second, carefully cutting away the ropes with a utility knife.

“I’m so sorry, little bird… I promise I’ll never let anyone steal you away again.”

“Need… help…”

“Shh. It’s okay. I’m getting you out of here.”

“Nest…?”

“Do you think you can make it the whole way home? It’s a few hours by plane, Keigo.”

Keigo’s flushed face paled some. He must not have known where they were. He cast his eyes down for a long moment, then nodded and took a deep breath.

“Stay with me?”

“Of course. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.”

---------

Getting Keigo home was hell. The villains had given him a sedative, and while he’d been able to fight it off when his adrenaline was running high, it really took its toll the second they stepped on Enji’s jet. He rocked between restless sleep and high, keening whines for his nest, for his alpha.

Thank gods the house was ready for them when they got home. Enji had stayed in contact with the maids, so they all knew what was happening. When they walked in the door, two servants were immediately by their sides, one to take Enji’s suit and one to help poor Keigo get to his nest and get undressed. Enji nearly bit the man’s hand off when he touched Keigo, but he was able to reign himself in, if only for a few minutes.

He needed a clear head. Keigo needed him. He couldn’t be a good alpha if he was angry.

Enji still wasn’t sure when he’d gotten so protective of Keigo, but at this point, he didn’t mind it. His omega was home and safe. He could deal with the his part of that thought after Keigo’s heat cleared a little.

Once his suit was off, he didn’t bother with clothes. All the maids had seen him nude at this point, and he didn’t see much point trying to hide himself, not with what he was about to go do. When he made it into Keigo’s room, he could barely admire the work the little bird had put into his nest. Everything looked plush and perfect, but none of it looked as perfect as the omega did, even in his state of exhaustion.

“Alpha,” Keigo whined softly, voice hoarse. Enji was at his side immediately, not waiting for permission to crawl into his nest and push Keigo’s bangs away from his forehead.

“Shhh… it’s okay. I’m right here. I’m going to take care of you.”

“Please, hurts. Can’t deal anymore.”

Golden eyes fixed on crimson, and with a look like that, Enji couldn’t dream of telling him no. He pulled back the blanket the servant had covered him with and settled himself between Keigo’s legs, touches gentle and warmed by his quirk. 

“I know, little bird. You were so brave for me.” He rubbed his wrists together to stimulate the glands there and started rubbing his scent all over Keigo, paying special attention to the swollen buds at his neck. Keigo chirped softly and slowly relaxed into it, and bit by bit, the honey sweet scent of heat overtook stale, bitter anxiety.

“So good to me…” the omega sighed, spreading his legs a little and scooting his hips closer to Enji. “Feels good, daddy bird.”

“I like that nickname,” Enji chuckled, smiling down at Keigo. “I’m glad you’re feeling a little better. I’m going to make sure you feel good, baby bird.”

Warm hands traveled down lower, along Keigo’s belly and along to cup his sex. His tiny cocklet was straining at the attention, and thanks to all the gentle scenting, his cunt was totally soaked. Enji ran his fingers through slick and growled his pleasure, then brought his fingers up to lick them clean. Now that Keigo was nice and relaxed, he tasted amazing, sweet and tangy in all the right ways.

“D-daddy…” Keigo whined softly, shifting his hips. “Wanna knot. Please?”

“So eager,” the alpha hummed, pressing two fingers past plush lips and deep inside. Keigo crooned louder in response, arching and trying to roll his hips. “Anything for my sweet little bird. I just wanted to make sure you were ready.”

Two thick fingers were quickly replaced with three, which only had Keigo more eager, shifting this way and that to try and draw Enji in. When Enji was sure Keigo was plenty loose enough, he lined up the head of his cock and sunk inside slowly, growling low. It took a lot of self restraint not to simply take what he wanted… Keigo felt like heaven during his heat, and the sounds he made were absolutely sinful. But, this had to be about Keigo. Enji had taken enough for himself over the years, and rarely had he ever truly given back to the omega. He thought… no, he knew it was time for that to change.

“M-move…” the blond whimpered, rocking his hips as best he could and giving Enji a teary-eyed pleading look. Enji didn’t make him wait; he picked up a steady pace right away, holding Keigo up slightly so he could hit that sensitive spot inside him. It had Keigo sobbing, babbling nonsensical pleas for more. The only thing that came through was Enji’s name, said like a prayer by a sinner.

“That’s my good bird,” Enji rumbled, rubbing circles into Keigo’s hips. “Let go, baby. Cum for me.”

It didn’t take much. A few strokes to Keigo’s cocklet and he was cumming hard, crying out harshly and clamping down around Enji’s cock.

“Knot…! Please! Enji!”

“Hold on tight, then, baby bird.”

Enji braced himself and let go, picking up the harsh pace Keigo was no doubt used to by now. He pressed his nose to Keigo’s neck and growled at the scent, licking and sucking at his gland to get as much of him as he could. He could feel the coil in his belly tightening more and more with every cry of his name, every claw down his back, but then...

His orgasm hit him like a freight train, out of nowhere. All of a sudden, they were locked tightly together, and Keigo was milking Enji for all he was worth. He bit down hard and just barely missed Keigo’s scent gland, hitting his shoulder instead. Keigo yelped once at the pain, then just purred deeply, too satisfied to even register what pain he did feel.

After a chaotic two days, Enji was spent. He used what little energy he had left to roll onto his back, holding Keigo tightly to his chest. The whole time, Keigo didn’t stop purring. 

“Mate,” he rumbled, so softly that Enji wasn’t sure if he was meant to hear it or not.

“Is that what you want?” Enji murmured, rubbing a hand up and down Keigo’s back.

“Mm…”

“When you’re not in heat, baby bird. We have a lot to talk about.”

Keigo hummed in response and scented the alpha. His own scent was happy and light, finally fully relaxed from the state he’d been in earlier.

“Love you, Enji.”

Enji tensed, but apparently not enough to concern Keigo. The blond was just as relaxed, seemingly on the cusp of sleep.

“I… I love you too, Keigo.” He pressed a kiss to Keigo’s forehead and stroked his feathers as the omega drifted off into unconsciousness.
