In this world, as soon as you find your soulmate(s), it's law that you have to move in together as soon as possible - to keep up the country's population.
Kageyama never expected it to happen so young, If it ever happened at all... But there he was crouched on the court, clutching his abdomen, trying to ignore the pain-filled hisses and whines coming from the other side of the net.
'This can't be happening. Seriously, in the middle of a game!' He whined.
Suddenly arms were around him, helping him sit up.
He shook his head. He wanted to play. This couldn't have happened at a worst bloody time! He JUST wanted to play!
He looked across the net, eyes widening as he noticed both Nekoma's Captain and Setter were also laying on the ground, surrounded by their own team Mates.
Suga sighed softly, wiping the sweat from the Omega's forehead.
"Your Soulmates." He whispered, causing Kageyama to whine.
"Daichi, help me take him over there." He heard Suga say to the Captain.
Kageyama felt his body raise from the floor, and a few moments later, he was on the floor again, but now next to a warm body.
He unconsciously snuggled closer to the warmth.
The pain started to fade, and he could tell it did too for the Beta and Alpha.
A hand grabbed his, he opened his eyes - coming face to face with Nekoma's Setter.
He tried to remove his hand from the other's grip.
He didn't know him. He didn't know either of them... so WHY the hell was he fated with them?!
"C'mon, get off the court. You three need to go to the infirmary, you can't be separated right now." He heard the coach's voice.
Kageyama shook his head.
"No!" He hissed through his teeth.
Ukai sighed.
"Tsukishima! Daichi! And...YOU two." He yelled, pointing to two random players from Nekoma.
"Take these three to the infirmary."
"Yes!" They all said in unison, Tsukishima grabbed Kageyama by the arm, lifting him up off the ground.
He wrapped one arm around Kageyama's waist. Daichi was on the other side.
"Don't touch him!" A voice boomed, making everyone flinch.
The Nekoma's Captain stood there growling, with glowing red eyes.
Daichi let go of the Omega and stepped back, while Tsukishima walked Kageyama closer to the Alpha.
Kuroo snatched Kageyama by the arm, pulling him away from any offensive beings.
He sniffed the Omega's neck. Pulling the Beta closer too.
"Let's go." Kuroo said, dragging his Mates off the court.
He sat them both down on one of the infirmary beds.
Kageyama whined, grabbed his abdomen again.
Kenma sighed, grabbing hold of the Omega's hand, trying to give him comfort.
"Now that you've found your soulmates, you've started going into heat." He mumbled.
Kageyama whimpered. He didn't want this!
Kuroo reaches out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Kageyama flinched back.
Kuroo frowned, pulling his hand away.
"I knew there was something missing." He mumbled.
Kenma agreed. Thinking back to all the sleepless nights he stayed up crying into Kuroo's chest because he felt incomplete. He thought Kuroo would hate him for being selfish and desperate.
"We will move your stuff into our house on the weekend, Tobio. But first things first, we need to get you out of here, your heat will be at full peak within a few hours-"
"Move?" Kageyama said breathlessly.
Kenma nodded.
"Yeah, Kuroo And me have known each other since we were young. But we've only been living together for two years. We were under the age of housing together when we met, so we had to wait." He explained.
Kageyama shook his head.
"No... I-I can't." He started to panic.
He didn't KNOW these people!
"Shh, you're alright. I'll ring Mum - see if she can pick us up and take us home. We can't finish the game like this." Kuroo said, looking down at his phone.
"Kenma, can you ring Tobio's parents and explain to them what happened?" He asked.
He realised what he actually asked of the Beta when Kenma started to panic, looking frantic at the Alpha, opening and closing his mouth.
Kuroo mumbled apologetically.
"Right. Sorry. I'll ring his parents-" he was cut off.
"No! Please, don't!" The Omega said, nearly hysterical.
"We have to tell them, let them know that you've gone into he-"
"Don't say it! And don't ring her. She won't care anyway. As long as it doesn't interfere with her work. I just need to get home and go to b-" it was Kageyama's turn to get cut off.
"You can't go home. Soulmates have to spend time together through the Omega's heat. To strengthen their bond."
Kenma said.
Kageyama whined.
This was shit. He JUST found his soulmates... And they were already trying to get in his pants.
"I'm not ready - I can't do that!" He panicked.
Kuroo rolled his eyes.
"Not THAT kind of bonding... just being around us will help with the intense pain that you'll feel, our scents and touch will calm you."
Kageyama was tired, he just wanted to sleep. He laid down on the bed. Hearing Kuroo say something about ringing his Mum. And that the Beta and Omega had to stay in the room.
"Lock it if you have to." Was his parting words.
Kageyama remembered learning about an Omega's heat just a few years ago...
An Omega goes into their first heat when they meet their Soulmate(s) for the first time. They spend that time together connecting and bonding. (Usually non-sexual.) An Alpha's instinct isn't to mount an Omega during a first heat. It's purely JUST bonding. Cuddling, kissing...the Alpha will respond to all of an Omega's needs (food, water - bathroom breaks) They will sleep next to each other. But the Alpha will be on high alert, as everyone and everything was a potential threat (apparently)
He opened his eyes when Kuroo re-entered the room.
"She's actually here, she came to see our game. Said to meet her at the car. So let's go." The Alpha said, picking the Omega up princess style.
Kageyama struggled to get down.
"Oi!" Kuroo hissed, causing Tobio to stop.
As they were walking toward the parking lot, a voice called out to them.
"Hinata..." Kageyama mumbled without looking to the person, only hearing the Alpha's voice.
Kuroo growled as the scent of another Alpha came towards them.
Kenma put a hand on Kuroo's chest.
"I got it." He said, walking towards the redhead.
Hinata handed him Kageyama's belongings, asking if the Omega was okay.
Kenma nodded.
"He'll be fine. We're taking him back to our place to start the bond."
Hinata nodded.
"Just...just take care of him...okay? He means a lot to us..." he whispered, embarrassed with himself for saying such sappy words.
Kenma nodded.
"We will. Thank you, Shouyou." He bowed, taking his Mate's stuff from the Alpha, and walked away.
Kenma slid into the backseat, his arms stretched out, waiting for Kuroo to hand him their Omega.
Kageyama's head rest in Kenma's lap.
He ran his fingers through the Omega's hair, resting his head on the back of the seat.
This was stressful he needs some sleep too.
Once Kenma had fallen asleep, Kuroo turned around to face the front.
"I knew there was something missing. Kenma could feel it too." He said to his Mum.
"Kenma cried himself to sleep most nights, saying he was sorry for wanting more, and that he was selfish. I guess he felt the 'Soulmate pull' more than I did."
His mother nodded.
"That wouldn't surprise me, a weaker status feels the tug more than Alphas."
Kuroo hummed his agreement.
"Do we need to stop at the shops before I drop you all off?" She asked.
Kuroo shook his head.
"No, we're good."
A while later, they were parked outside of a dark blue house, surrounded by a typically cliche white picketed fence.
"Can you get the door for me." Kuroo said to Kenma as they reached the front door.
Kenma nodded, pulling out his set of key.
Kuroo walked to the bedroom, placed the young Omega onto the large bed and hesitantly walked out.
Kageyama woke in a strange room, God knows how long later. He was swamped with the scent of the two Nekoma players.
He groaned.
He didn't want to talk to them, he'd rather stay where he was... But his body wanted different things as it started to hurt and heat up, begging him for his Mates.
He curled up tightly, hoping the pain would go away. He didn't want to go out there.
He wanted to apologise...they were already Mates... and then in came Kageyama Tobio ruing it for everyone.
He stayed there half an hour more, before the pain got too intense. And it was only going to get worse if he stayed away.
He wiped away the unshed tears.
He got up from the bed and tip toed to the door. He opened it a bit and peaked out.
He could hear the Alpha's voice coming from down the hall. He followed the voice.
He came to a lounge room. Kenma was sitting on the couch playing with a hand held game, and Kuroo was pacing back and forth talking on the phone.
"Like I told you, we CAN'T. We-we...-sigh-we have an Omega. And he's going through his first hea-"
Kageyama heard excited screeches coming from the other end of the phone. Causing the Alpha to swear as he pulled the phone away from his ear.
"Will you stop screaming in my ear!"
The Alpha paused, sniffed the air, and turned his attention to Kageyama who was still hiding in the door way.
Kenma stopped playing his game to look up at him too.
"You're awake!" Kuroo smiled.
"Okay, Bokuto, my little Omega is awake. I'll talk to you later." He said, hanging up.
Kuroo walked towards the Omega. Kageyama stepped back.
Kuroo paused with a frown.
The Beta walked up beside him, biting his lip.
"You don't need to be scared of us." Kenma mumbled.
Kageyama gripped his stomach as a wave of pain and heat flooded through him.
Kenma gave him a sympathetic look.
Kuroo sighed.
"How about you sit on the couch with Kenma while I get dinner ready."
Kenma walked towards the Omega. His hand outstretched.
Tobio looked to the hand, to Kenma's face, to Kuroo and back to the outstretched hand.
He hesitantly took hold of the hand. The relief he instantly felt made me want to cry.
He sighed, gripping the Beta's hand a bit tighter. (Not hard enough to hurt him)
Kenma led them over to the lounge, pulling Kageyama to lean on him.
The Omega tensed up. Why were these two so comfortable with this?
Tobio relaxed, unconsciously rubbed his cheek on the Beta's arm.
Kenma smiled softly, bringing one hand to the Omega's hair.
Kageyama purred and slowly dozed off.
Kenma took out his phone and snapped a picture of both of them, sending it to kuro and Shouyou.
A moment later Kuroo entered the room with a smile.
"I think he might trust you." The Alpha said, kneeling down in front of them, his hand moving stray hair from the Omega's face.
Kenma nodded.
"I hope so."
He hoped Kageyama would learn to trust them. That he would be happy living there and eventually...they'd become a family.
He finally felt that missing ache disappear.
This is what they've been looking for. And he wasn't going to let him go.
