Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics

Ch 02: Rain

It had been two weeks since Kageyama had played for the first time at The Burrow. Two weeks of practices and playing catch-up, trying to find his place among his new bandmates to compliment and enhance their sound. He picked up on things quickly, and he had managed to win Kairoh and Diamond over by showing up to practices early and never complaining about staying late, sometimes almost until dawn.

His sister worried about him being out all night with a bunch of gritty sub-class punks, but Kageyama reassured her time and time again he was safe with his new bandmates. His new friends. He wanted to be liked by them so much, he went out of his way to act submissive around the Alphas, and kept out of the limelight whenever he could. He was quiet around aggressive patrons who sneered and jeered upon learning he was actually a lupine, leaving Zeryce and Diamond to interject and deescalate the situation each and every time. Kairoh never said a word in Kageyama's defense, silent as he stood at the rear exit to the lounge and inhaled thick plumes of smoke from the cigarette poised between his sharp claws, his tawny eyes burning with the reflections of fading embers as he slowly breathed.

Despite Kairoh's silence, Kageyama was a talented guitarist, and he wanted to be there. It wasn't long before his bandmates genuinely wanted him to be there too.

Tulousse was friendly towards Kageyama from the start, and helped out their newest member however he could, giving Kageyama tips on how to dress and slum slang to use during tense conversations with locals, confident that with time the lupine would truly be able to appear as if he was one of them. One of the local boys from the unnamed band that played nights and weekends at The Burrow.

Aside from their band, Anita hosted another gig regularly at her bar. The twins Kageyama had seen Tulousse speaking with that first night, a pair of sciurine he came to know affectionately as Sour Apple and Sweet Cherry. Together, the sisters had formed a band all on their own, a popular duo act called Tarte. Tulousse had been one of their biggest fans from the beginning, and any time the twins came to The Burrow to play he was affixed to one of the front-most tables, Mala'chai often sitting quietly at his side, listening to the sisters perform.

Diamond teased the girls often, using his own set of pet names when he interacted with the omega twins, Cherry Pie and Cinna-Apple. Cherry wasn't sure how to respond to the Alpha's advances, the albino sciurine blushing and shying away from his playful, rambunctious attitude. Apple on the other hand was entirely unamused at the musteline's antics and typically defensive of her younger sister. She had no problem chastising the Alpha and putting an end to his flirtations with quick wit and a sharp tongue whenever he overstepped his bounds, Diamond forever amused at her self-assured, independent nature, not dissuaded in the slightest from continuing to flirt with them both.

Tulousse and Mala'chai watched their interactions quietly from a short distance, the petite ovine giggling and sighing to himself while following the Alpha's movements with a light blush. He didn't speak of it aloud, but from what Kageyama had gathered it seemed Tulousse had a crush on the musteline Alpha, and while Diamond was quick to flirt with Cherry and Apple he showed absolutely no interest in the ovine omega who pined after him nightly, not so subtly in fact.

Kairoh and Zeryce were a source of regular entertainment as well, constantly getting into small fights and making up shortly after, displaying no shame in their public displays of affection. Kageyama had walked backstage more than once and found them making out heatedly while grinding against one another, the lupine immediately turning tail and returning to the stage with a telltale blush, Tulousse giggling at his red face while Mala'chai smiled to himself, his large ears tilting to and fro before settling on the bar nearby.

Anita had come to accept the lupine's presence as well, and had started paying Kageyama for his time, a small percentage per gig of hourly wages and accumulated tips. Kageyama was surprised at just how generous the oniscine's regular patrons could be given what little money they undoubtedly made as sub-class workers, and Kageyama was grateful for whatever money he could get, saving only a little for himself while handing the rest over to Shimizu every morning after she returned from work. His sister was working double-shifts constantly at a local diner to make ends meet and keep a roof over their heads. It was the least he could do to contribute. They had no one else to rely on but one another. They had made a decision together, and never planned on seeing their family ever again.

Diamond asked him about it once in passing, why Kageyama and his sister had moved to a sub-class neighborhood, the lupine quiet for several long moments before he spoke.

"We share the same father," Kageyama had explained softly, sipping at his cream soda and tracing his fingertips along the condensation of the opaque glass, tilting one of his ears to the side before adding, "He's an alcoholic. He beat Shimizu's mother until she left, and he beat mine until she couldn't take it anymore and killed herself." He glanced up, catching the Alpha's eyes, taking another sip before casting his gaze across the length of the bar, his voice quiet as he spoke. "It happened when we were both young. After my mom died, my sister took care of me and protected me, until we were old enough to get away from our father and survive on our own." He took another sip, his voice soft and affectionate at the thought of his sister. "Now, it's just us. We take care of one another. We may not have much yet, but trust me," He met Diamond's eyes, a small smile turning up his lips, "We'd rather be here, safe, together, than anywhere else in the world."

Diamond let out a low whistle, clicking his tongue against his teeth and quirking a brow, tilting his rounded ears towards Kageyama and asking cheekily while his tail twitched behind him, "You got an older sister, huh? I bet she's hot, isn't she? That's why she never comes 'round the bar!"

Kageyama rolled his eyes, glancing away and taking another sip of his soda, replying under his breath, "She doesn't come around here because she's working all the time. That, and being around drunks all night isn't exactly her cup of tea. We both remember well what it was like having a violent, drunk father." He licked his upper lip, considering for a moment as his voice trailed off. "I doubt she'll ever come to The Burrow. Maybe if we play a gig elsewhere, but the bar scene just isn't for her."

Diamond chuckled and leaned closer, reaching out and wrapping his arm around Kageyama's shoulders while crooning against his ear, "She got a pretty face like yours? Dark hair and dark eyes? Just imaginin' you as a pretty little omega, damn it's got me all riled up~"

Kageyama frowned a little, quirking a brow and shoving the Alpha off of him playfully, the musteline flashing his fangs and growling softly as he grinned, the beta chuckling in response and shaking his head, letting out a strained sigh. "Yeah, yeah. My sister is pretty, alright? She's not an omega, she's a beta like me-" He held the Alpha's eyes, adding pointedly, "-and she's off limits, Di'a. I'm serious, okay?" He snorted softly, perking his ears towards Apple and Cherry as they walked into the lounge from the rear exit, grinning a little and saying teasingly under his breath, "Don't you have enough trouble trying to pick up the twins every night? What would you want with a lupine girlfriend anyway?"

"Oh! Absolutely nothing!" Diamond jeered, toasting his glass against the air before finishing his drink in one gulp, setting it down atop the counter with a sharp clatter and pushing himself up from the bar, leaning close to Kageyama and growling teasingly as he sneered, "Wouldn't mind fucking a pretty one, though!"

Kageyama frowned at that, exhaling softly through his nose and tilting his face away, clicking his tongue and shaking his head. "Nah, you aren't her type."

Diamond's growl deepened at that, and he narrowed his eyes as his pupils dilated into slits, the Alpha's hackles raising as he hissed out threateningly, "What? Your prissy high-class sister too good for me? Wouldn't stoop so low as to ever hook up with a sub-class Alpha?" He reached out and grabbed Kageyama's collar, jerking him up from the bar, glaring down at him and flashing his fangs, his growls growing harsh as his tone escalated into an obvious threat, "You think I'm not good enough for her, huh? You think your sister's fucking pussy is too tantalizing a treat to ever be gifted to a fucking gutter-rat like me?"

Kageyama's eyes were wide, his ears dipping back at the Alpha's sudden mood shift. It was like a taut chord had suddenly snapped, a switch had been flipped that couldn't be shut off. He'd never seen Diamond like this, he'd never shown any aggression towards Kageyama since that first night, and the lupine's stomach was caught in his throat, overwhelmed at the musteline's sudden display of dominance.

"Di'a, no! That's not what I-"

"That's not what you fucking meant, huh? You think I give a shit about your high-class, pretty boy excuses?" He turned and jerked Kageyama away from the bar, half dragging, half pushing the lupine across the lounge towards the shadowed entrance, Kairoh and Zeryce glancing up from the stage as if noticing the altercation for the first time. Tulousse and Mala'chai were nearby, their voices drifting from the backstage and growing steadily more audible as they stepped out beneath the stage lights, both ovine and pteropine falling silent as they watched the scene before them. Anita was watching quietly as well, leaning against the bar and waiting to see how Kageyama would handle himself, Apple and Cherry whispering quietly to one another from the edge of the curved countertop, both of their tails fluffed nervously as they pressed close to one another, their eyes wide.

"Di'a, listen to me, alright?" Kageyama reached up and clasped the Alpha's wrist, rooting himself in place and pushing back so he was standing instead of being shoved, dipping his ears back and starting quickly, "I was playing with you, I didn't mean to insinuate you weren't good enough for anything, or strike a nerve! Alright?" He tugged the Alpha's fingers away from his collar roughly, taking a step closer and narrowing his eyes as he invaded the Alpha's space, snorting while growling out, "If you're gonna be so fucking sensitive, then how about watching what you say in the first place! You're the one casually talking about fucking my sister! If anything I'm the one who should be pissed!"

Diamond growled and shoved Kageyama backwards again, the beta letting out a growl of his own and rising to accept the Alpha's challenge, the musteline flexing and advancing again, Kageyama reaching out and grasping at the older boy's biceps, feeling the raw strength in his movements as he shoved Kageyama towards the door again. "The fuck you say to me you spoiled fucking brat? You think I give a shit about your delicate sensibilities? Don't talk about my sister like that? Huh? Well, fuck you ya mangey mutt! Fuck you!"

He grabbed Kageyama's shirt and practically threw the beta away from him, advancing on him again, his eyes gleaming as he snarled, his nails easily ripping through the taut fabric across the lupine's chest.

"You know why I flirt with those girls? Huh? You ever stop for a second to think about why I do anything I do? The reason behind it? All of this-" He gestured to himself, seething as he spoke, "-all of this prime, carnal musteline beef just waiting to be snatched up by some hot babe, and yet you're offended by the thought of me takin' an interest in your fucking sister, like that would be such a horrible fucking thing!"

Kageyama flattened his ears further, growling out irritably, "That's not what I meant! I don't care if you're musteline or lupine! I care about you being disrespectful towards my fucking sister! The girl who raised me! The girl who protected me! Who kept me from being raped by our fucking father, and you!" He reached out with both hands and shoved the Alpha backwards, advancing on him as he barked out, "You're acting like a stupid, hot-headed, selfish fucking Alpha flexing your muscles and putting on a show because why? Because I said you weren't my sister's fucking type?" He laughed out loud, rolling his eyes and growling out as he glared up at Diamond in disbelief. "Did you ever stop to consider that maybe I meant she was gay for fuck's sake?! Fuck you and your fucking pride, Di'a! Fuck you!" He gripped the Alpha's jacket, jerking him forward while growling up at him angrily, "What you fucking punk? You can dish it but you can't take it back?!"

"Alright." Kairoh said calmly, reaching out and separating them slowly, getting between his companion and their newest member while glancing down at Kageyama and holding his gaze. He continued staring down at Kageyama quietly until the lupine snorted and released Diamond's shirt, taking a step back and finally backing down from the challenge, adrenaline trembling through his limbs and sparking the instinct to fight and defend himself, excess energy twisting within his very core, making him feel jittery. He let out a shaky breath, carding his fingers through his hair and glancing towards the stage briefly, realizing everyone was watching them still, waiting to see how Diamond would react once Kageyama's words had sunken in. Tulousse was whispering quietly to Mala'chai, and Zeryce was watching from the place where she and Kairoh had been speaking before. She didn't say anything, but she was smiling as if she were impressed at the way Kageyama had handled himself, the lupine's heart fluttering a bit as she gave him a little wink.

When Kageyama returned his attention to the Alphas before him, he noticed just how much the atmosphere had shifted since he'd spoken. Diamond's face was flustered, his emerald eyes gleaming still as he held Kageyama's gaze, and as Kairoh separated them slowly a soft snort of laughter sounded from his throat, his growling gradually quieting, his ears perking up as the tension in his shoulders faded away. The musteline cracked a smile, quirking a brow and chuckling faintly as he asked curiously, "Gay, huh? Should have known ya hot older sister was a fucking lesbian. Fuckin' hell." Kairoh cracked a smile as well, shaking his head and tugging Diamond away from Kageyama gently, the musteline lingering for a moment longer before giving a little nod and turning to follow after the oniscine who'd come to collect him. He glanced back over his shoulder, holding Kageyama's eyes for a moment longer while adding, "Off limits, huh kid?"

"Yeah." Kageyama said softly, exhaling a deep breath as he perked his ears again. "Off limits."

"Alright, kid." Diamond grinned, returning his attention to Kairoh as his friend started to speak, returning to the conversation he had been sharing with Zeryce, the leporine watching Kageyama quietly for a few moments longer before turning and joining in on Kairoh and Diamond's conversation, leaving Kageyama alone to himself to decompress and remember how to breathe.

Apple and Cherry were holding hands as they drifted towards the entrance of the lounge, walking past Kageyama slowly, the twins pausing for a moment to tell him goodnight. Cherry watched him shyly, offering him a little smile while Apple gave a small nod and dipped her ears back a bit, a telltale grin curving up her russet cheeks, her viridian irises shining with amusement. "See you tomorrow night, Tobio."

"Goodnight, Tobio." Cherry called quietly as well, the twins waving to Tulousse and Mala'chai before exiting the bar.

Tulousse waved after them before crouching down and jumping off the front of the stage, padding over to Kageyama's side and reaching out to brush his fingertips along the lupine's forearm, perking his ears up and grinning. "Wow, Tobio. That was…" He bit his lip, blushing a little and squeezing the beta's arm. "That was really something, seeing you stand up to Di'a like that."

Mala'chai nodded, stepping up to their sides, glancing back towards the trio chatting together nearby before letting out a soft breath and nodding towards the entrance. "You wanna share a smoke before we start to play?"

Tulousse smiled and nodded at that, taking Kageyama's hand and tugging him towards the entrance gently, perking his ears up and holding the beta's eyes. Kageyama smiled a little, watching him curiously while allowing the omega to do what he liked, stepping out into the cool, damp air after him, Mala'chai closing the door behind them. They walked a short distance from the front door to stand in the narrow alleyway beside the small bar, the ivy above them dripping from the rain that had been pouring down upon the city off and on all night.

Mala'chai huddled closer, Tulousse pressing close as well, sheltering the space between them from the wind and the rain while the pteropine lit up a joint and took a few deep drags for himself before offering it to Tulousse, the ovine smiling and offering quiet thanks before taking a long drag himself. Kageyama wrinkled his nose a bit at the scent of the thick, white smoke, watching them both curiously but not saying anything as they passed the joint between them.

Mala'chai watched Kageyama quietly for a few moments before asking casually, "You ever smoked weed before?"

Kageyama met his eyes, tilting one of his ears to the side and shaking his head lightly, Tulousse giggling and taking another drag before offering him the joint, watching Kageyama with a cheery smile. "It's good, if you want to try? It's really mellow. It'll help you relax."

The lupine hesitated only for a moment before taking the joint in hand, trying to hold it the way Tulousse instructed him, lifting it to his lips and inhaling gingerly, coughing roughly almost immediately much to the ovine's delight. He giggled and held his middle, patting at Kageyama's arm while the lupine made a face and offered the joint back again, Mala'chai exhaling a soft breath of laughter and taking it from his fingers, lifting it to his lips again.

He took a long drag, holding the smoke in his lungs before exhaling a thick cloud, closing his eyes and perking his ears up towards the rain, listening for a few quiet moments to the sound of raindrops dappling the brick walls of the bar and the cobblestones surrounding them, the rainfall only adding to the puddles accumulating along the sidewalks here and there. He smiled and tilted his ears towards Kageyama, shifting and taking a step closer, leaning in and asking the lupine softly, "You want me to shotgun it for you?"

Kageyama glanced between the two boys watching him, dipping his ears back a bit and asking, "Am I supposed to know what that means exactly?"

Tulousse blushed and giggled again, hiding his face with his hand and trying to muffle his laughter, Mala'chai grinning and chuckling softly as well, reaching out and touching Kageyama's arm. "Just breathe." He said gently, holding Kageyama's eyes and lifting the joint to his lips, inhaling for a few seconds and leaning closer while tilting up Kageyama's face, pressing their lips together gently, the younger beta inhaling shakily and taking in the smoke the pteropine exhaled slowly between them.

Mala'chai pulled away a moment later, perking his ears up at the bright blush across Kageyama's cheeks, his brow arching and his expression softening as he chuckled and withdrew again. He took his time, inhaling a long drag for himself before offering the joint back to Tulousse, the ovine grinning and blushing lightly as well, humming as he smoked, the tip of the joint burning steadily as they continued passing the joint back and forth between them.

When they finally returned inside, Kageyama felt more relaxed than he had ever felt before. He was swimming, floating, suspended in time. Music flowed more freely, more naturally for him than he'd ever imagined it possibly could. Drinks tasted sweeter, food tasted better, and after practice when Tulousse and Mala'chai reached out to him it sparked light and color across Kageyama's skin wherever they touched.

Kageyama was still snacking on the chips Anita had gifted him at the bar, chewing slowly and blinking as he walked towards the train station with Tulousse and Mala'chai at his side, the ovine and pteropine watching over him and exchanging soft laughter while sharing a bag of gummy worms between them. They walked together in almost perfect sync, holding hands while they traversed the dark tracks, Kageyama marveling at their scents and the sounds of their laughter. He'd never felt anything like this before. This connection that was growing between them was turning into something powerful, potentially overwhelming. Kageyama wanted to experience more of it. He wanted to be even closer to them both.

Kageyama wasn't sure how it happened exactly, but somehow or another they all found themselves at Tulousse's apartment, the ovine giggling as he led them inside, tugging Kageyama towards his bedroom while Mala'chai trailed after them. As soon as they entered the bedroom the pteropine was already stripping off his clothes, untying the cloth bunched at his wrists and carefully removing his outer layers, his wings visible to Kageyama for the first time. The lupine was breathless, watching in awe as Mala'chai stretched his arms over his head and untied the cloth bunched at his elbows as well, finally allowing his webbings to expand fully, the pteropine sighing in relief before settling down on the floor beside them, laying beside Kageyama and reaching up to grab another gummy worm from his best friend.

Tulousse was curled up in a beanbag chair, already lighting up another joint and yawning as he stretched out, knocking his horns lightly against the dresser beside him, reaching up into one of the drawers and pulling out more snacks for them to share. Kageyama reached for a new bag of chips immediately, opening them eagerly and popping one into his mouth, smiling and sighing contentedly while chewing and relaxing back against the blanket pile once more. Mala'chai let out a soft snort of laughter and pressed closer to Kageyama's side, leaning down and pressing his nose to Kageyama's temple, inhaling against his dark hair quietly for a few moments before deciding to lay against him, resting one of his hands over Kageyama's chest, his arm rising and falling rhythmically with the lupine's breath.

"Is your sister really gay?" He asked after a long while, and Kageyama laughed and nearly dropped the bag of chips, Mala'chai grinning and laughing as well while Tulousse reached over and took the chips in hand, popping one into his mouth as well, the lupine groaning and wrapping his arms around Mala'chai's shoulders, slowly shaking his head.

"Holy fuck that was intense." Kageyama murmured, thinking about his altercation with the musteline Alpha several hours before. "But uh, nah she's not really gay. I mean, she likes both I think. She's definitely into guys though." Kageyama shrugged a little at that, blushing faintly and glancing away, Mala'chai perking his ears up a bit and propping himself up on his elbows, looking down at Kageyama with a curious smirk.

"What's that supposed to mean?" The pteropine crooned softly, Kageyama blushing a bit deeper and looking up at him. "Oh, you've got to tell us now. Your face is all red."

"Did you catch your sister with her boyfriend or something?" Tulousse laughed merrily, passing the joint to Mala'chai who took it from him and held it between his fingers, waiting for Kageyama to speak, the lupine dipping his ears back a bit and making a soft noise of dismissal, shying away from their eyes.

"I don't...I don't really think I should talk about it."

"Fuck, you're so protective of her." Mala'chai sighed, inhaling a deep drag and watching Kageyama, exhaling the plume of smoke between them before leaning closer and petting gently over his chest. "You've got a bit of a sister complex, huh? 'S alright. We've all got things we don't like talking about." He glanced up, catching Tulousse's eyes. "I'm pretty sure every one of us has a subject that's off limits."

Tulousse made a soft sound of agreement, sighing and relaxing into his beanbag chair, sinking subtly as he rested his head back, casting his eyes towards the ceiling. "For me, it's Di'a. I never talk about my crush on him. I'm sure he knows, but the subject is off limits for sure…" He bit into a chip, chewing slowly, thinking for a moment before adding, "For Zeryce it's gotta be her line of work. She never talks about it with anyone, but…" He glanced over and met Kageyama's eyes, the lupine perking his ears up curiously. "She makes porn. Leporine feet, and all that. She's pretty popular, too. Makes good money."

"It's how she can afford her place, and how her and Kairoh always have money for new band equipment." Mala'chai nodded, taking another drag. "Di'a benefits too, since he's fucking both of them." He exhaled slowly, licking his lips absently before adding, "I think Kairoh's off limits topic is probably his family. He's got a lot of shit going on that he's still dealing with. From what little we've learned since joining, he's actually a rich kid from a nice family. He grew up way different than us."

"Out of the slums." Tulousse agreed, reaching for the joint as Mala'chai passed it over, the ovine taking a few drags before sighing contentedly and humming, considering their other bandmates. "Di'a probably gave it away tonight, but his off limits subjects are mostly about his sub-class status and his inferiority complex. As an Alpha, he feels powerless about his circumstances." Tulousse perked his ears towards Kageyama. "He's got a big family, lots of younger siblings. They can barely afford to eat. If it wasn't for Kairoh and Zeryce helping him out, it's likely Di'a would be in jail right now."

"He steals a lot." Mala'chai clarified softly, his expression distant as he thought about the drummer, letting out a soft sigh. "I don't blame him, coming from nothing you fight for whatever scraps you can get." He glanced over, meeting Kageyama's eyes. "It's not so bad, in this neighborhood. This city's slums are nice compared to some of the shitholes I've seen."

"Yeah…" Tulousse agreed quietly, taking one last drag before returning the joint to Mala'chai, the pteropine lifting it to his lips and breathing in quietly while the ovine added quietly, "And for Chai…"

Mala'chai hummed, dipping his ears back a bit, nodding as he considered. He exhaled a thick cloud of smoke, then looked down to Kageyama as he said, "My off limits topics are mainly my family as well, and my past before moving to this city." He leaned closer to Kageyama while taking another drag, tilting the lupine's face up with his fingertips and searching his eyes, Kageyama parting his lips ever so slightly as the other beta pressed their lips together again. Kageyama inhaled deeper this time, knowing what to expect, feeling the smoke settling in his lungs and holding it for as long as he could before coughing and rolling onto his side, Mala'chai chuckling softly while Tulousse giggled teasingly, reaching over and patting Kageyama's upper back soothingly.

"There there, you'll get used to it. It took me a while to stop coughing too, when I first started smoking." He perked his ears up as Kageyama rolled back a bit to look up at him, the lupine's eyes glinting with a hint of tears.

"You guys smoke like this often?" He asked, Tulousse nodding and offering him a bright smile, Mala'chai humming and nodding as well.

"I grow at my place." Mala'chai offered, meeting Kageyama's eyes. "I work for a dispensary nearby, and grow some on my own to make edibles." He shrugged a little, taking a few last drags before the joint snuffed out, setting it aside in a small ashtray tucked against the side of the dresser. "People can't afford to pay much, but every little bit helps."

Kageyama nodded his understanding, settling down into a comfortable position again. Once he was resting on his back again, Mala'chai curled up against his side, the pteropine petting over his chest, Kageyama blushing lightly and wrapping his arm around Mala'chai again. They rested against one another for a while, and when the next wave washed over them Kageyama felt as if his very nerves were electrified, shivering and gasping softly as Mala'chai's nails traced over his sternum and down his taut stomach before drifting up again, his elongated pinkie-claw curving inwards slightly, his webbing soft and warm as he rested against Kageyama's side.

Kageyama didn't think about it as he reached for him, pressing his fingertips to Mala'chai's palm and tracing down the curve of his wrist, gently petting along the webbing branching away from his forearm, noting the subtle hitch of the beta's breath as Kageyama explored the expanse of his wing.

Tulousse was watching them lazily from the beanbag, blushing lightly and smiling to himself as he trailed his fingers down his stomach, petting over his navel and letting out a breathless sigh while dipping his fingers beneath his waistband and petting over his slowly-filling cock. Mala'chai glanced up and watched him, licking his lips and turning his eyes to Kageyama, watching the lupine as he traced over his wing with feather-light touches. He let out a soft croon as the younger beta explored, staying perfectly still for a few lingering moments before shifting and leaning over him, holding Kageyama's eyes for a moment longer before dipping down to kiss him.

Kageyama gasped softly at the spark that ignited between them, reaching up to hold Mala'chai around his waist as the pteropine shifted to straddle him, his kisses growing heated and more eager as Kageyama let out a soft breath and started kissing him back with growing urgency, grinding up against him while Mala'chai let out a soft moan.

Tulousse was quiet as he watched them, blushing brighter and parting his thighs further so he could slip his fingers down and finger his clit, dipping them inside his crux for a moment and rocking against his hand before returning to stroking his cock, his other hand drifting up under his shirt and teasing over his stomach.

Kageyama shivered and moaned as Mala'chai licked into his mouth, sharing the sweetness of the gummies he had eaten before, his fangs clicking against Kageyama's lightly before he withdrew with a soft huff, smiling and reaching up to strip his undershirt off overhead, searching Kageyama's eyes as he hovered over him.

"Do you want this?" He asked, and Kageyama swallowed thickly and nodded eagerly, Mala'chai smiling and leaning back down to kiss him, his hands trailing up Kageyama's sides and starting to tug off his shirt.

Tulousse whined softly, tweaking one of his nipples while stroking his cock, teasing himself for a few moments longer before getting up from his beanbag chair and starting to strip off his clothes as well. Kageyama glanced over at the small ovine briefly before Mala'chai redirected his attention with another soft kiss, the lupine lifting his hips as the older beta tugged down his jeans and boxer-briefs, shivering lightly as his flushed skin was exposed to the air.

Mala'chai wasted no time in shoving down his jeans as well, baring them both equally to the chill in the air. Outside, the rain continued pouring down upon the city, a flash of lightning bright in the distance, barely visible beyond Tulousse's blinds. Mala'chai settled over Kageyama's waist again as soft thunder growled through the apartment, grinding his ass purposefully down against the lupine's cock.

"Have you had sex before?" He asked, and Kageyama blushed and nodded hesitantly, arching up for another kiss. Kageyama was quiet for a few moments before they parted for breath, the lupine biting his lip and adding after a moment,

"I've...I've never had sex with another guy before."

"That's okay. I can show you." Mala'chai whispered, giving Kageyama another kiss and reaching out to Tulousse, the ovine smiling and offering his companion a small bottle of lube before settling back on his heels, Kageyama realizing for the first time that the ovine was kneeling over a large, knotted toy. Tulousse was biting his lips and shivering as he worked the large toy slowly inside his crux, gasping out eagerly as he stroked his sticky cock, rocking his hips to take more of it inside of himself as he watched Mala'chai and Kageyama, holding the lupine's eyes and giggling eagerly.

"It's okay to watch~" He whispered encouragingly, widening his knees slightly and splaying himself a bit further on the toy, sighing pleasantly as his other hand reached down and began fingering his clit. "I love watching, too."

Kageyama blushed and moaned out heatedly as Mala'chai wrapped his slicked fingers around Kageyama's cock, stroking him slowly and watching the way the lupine's face twisted with pleasure as he was touched, the pteropine crooning softly and working himself open with his other hand. "Does that feel good, Tobio? Does it? Do you like imagining being knotted inside of an omega?"

Kageyama canted his hips up, meeting Mala'chai's eyes, holding his gaze while whining out breathlessly, "Yeah, yeah I wonder what it's like, being an Alpha…"

Mala'chai hummed approvingly, lifting himself up and arching over Kageyama to give him a kiss while continuing to stroke his cock, Tulousse making soft noises as he fucked himself on his toy, gasping and crying out breathlessly for more.

When Mala'chai pulled back, the other beta held Kageyama's eyes, shifting his twitching cock between his cheeks and guiding the lupine to his slicked entrance, shivering pleasantly as he started letting his weight naturally guide his body down. "Yeah, it's fun isn't it? Pretending to be something you're not." He closed his eyes, arching his back and moaning out lewdly while taking more of Kageyama's cock. "I like to pretend I'm an omega sometimes, getting stuffed with a fat cock. Being bred over and over again, until my womb's distended with thick spurs."

Tulousse gasped and cried out sharply, canting his hips down quickly against his toy, starting to work in the oversized knot. Kageyama moaned and held Mala'chai's hips, waiting for the other beta to move first before beginning to rock his hips, Mala'chai moaning out greedily while taking all of Kageyama's cock, smoothing his palms over his chest and smearing excess lube between them. "Fuck you feel so good!" Kageyama breathed, Mala'chai grinning and moaning again while finding a nice rhythm between them, settling back on his heels and bouncing on Kageyama's cock, the lupine gripping his thighs and watching his face, his foggy mind filled with overwhelming sensation and bright lights.

"Di'a! Di'a fuck me!" Tulousse cried out desperately, jerking his cock quickly while rocking against the knot threatening to lock inside him. "Ah fuck Daddy! Fuck, I want you locked inside me! I want you to breed me!"

Mala'chai moaned eagerly and started panting loudly as he quickened his pace, his claws biting into Kageyama's chest as he reached down and gripped the lupine's shoulders, kissing him hotly and arching to keep Kageyama's cockhead jutting up against his prostate. He started whining needily, trembling as he clenched down around Kageyama's cock tightly, his heart fluttering wildly where he was pressed against Kageyama's chest. "Alpha, Alpha please fuck me! Please fuck me!" He whined and hid his face against Kageyama's throat, his voice hitching as he begged desperately, "Fuck me, Tobio!"

Kageyama growled and rolled Mala'chai onto his side, then pressed him down beneath him. Mala'chai gasped out eagerly as he was pinned on his back, Kageyama fucking into him roughly and gripping his hips hard enough to bruise, Mala'chai letting out a high-pitched squeak and clenching around him rhythmically as Kageyama prodded harshly against his prostate.

"Yes! Yes, fuck! Please Alpha!" Mala'chai whined, arching his back and curling his toes, his chest heaving as he watched the lupine above him. "I'm your good breeder, I'll be so good for you, Alpha! Give me your pups, Tobio! Give me your pups!"

Kageyama's entire body tensed as he came, the beta beneath him crying out sharply and climaxing as well, his cock spilling untouched between them. Beside them, Tulousse snapped his hips down to finally take the entire girth of the toy's knot, reaching down and fingering his swollen clit quickly, watching Kageyama and Mala'chai the entire time, his face impossibly flushed. "Fuck fuck fuck!" He clenched his eyes shut and curled in on himself as he came violently around the toy, squirting against his fingertips while his cock released sticky ropes against his stomach and chest, marking the carpet between them with excess cum, slick pouring down his trembling thighs and creating a damp spot beneath him.

He panted shakily and collapsed onto his side, the toy still locked inside of him while he nuzzled into his beanbag, giggling breathlessly. Mala'chai was similarly amused, grinning and rocking his hips down while wrapping his arms around Kageyama's neck, tugging him down to kiss him slowly, humming and clenching rhythmically around his twitching cock.

"That was really fucking good, Tobio." He whispered gently, trailing one of his hands down the lupine's chest, his webbing warm against Kageyama's sweat-slicked, chilled skin. "Do you want to do it again?"

Kageyama arched his brow and laughed tiredly, pressing their foreheads together and nodding his head, giving Mala'chai another kiss. "Yeah, yeah I really do…"

"Good." The pteropine whispered, searching his eyes, tugging him down to rest against his chest, Kageyama still buried inside him. The lupine closed his eyes, nuzzling into the other beta's shoulder and inhaling his scent, letting his high continue to wash over him, the intense floaty feeling curling against his mind only enhancing his pleasure and afterglow.

Once he had caught his breath, and Mala'chai urged him into action with teasing rolls of his hips and slow, deep kisses, Kageyama pinned the older beta beneath him once more, and started fucking into him roughly again.

They fell into a habit of this, repeating the same almost every night; smoking together at practice before eventually going home together and fucking one another until dawn, while sharing snacks and joints between them. Tulousse was always happy to host, eager to watch them together while pleasuring himself with his various toys. The ovine wasn't on birth control, and had no desire to become pregnant unexpectedly. It meant his heats spent with Mala'chai and Kageyama were a steady week of sex and sharing themselves together, while the ovine was locked tightly around one of his toys.

Kageyama and Tulousse had oral sex several times while Mala'chai watched, the younger beta easily losing himself to the sensation and taste of the pretty omega. He marveled at the feeling of Tulousse's lips wrapped around his cock while his face was buried against the omega's crux, moaning and licking into him while teasing him with fingers and toys, the ovine easily climaxing against his tongue. Mala'chai and Tulousse were platonic, never engaging in sex, but they made out casually now and then when they were both high. As they grew closer it wasn't uncommon for Tulousse to make out with Mala'chai while fucking himself with a toy while Kageyama simultaneously took the older beta apart.

After six weeks of fucking one another without a label on it, Kageyama asked Mala'chai if he wanted them to be boyfriends. The pteropine was surprised at first, but chuckled and tugged Kageyama closer, wrapping his arms around the lupine's neck, searching his eyes and asking gently, "Is that something you want? You like the idea of being in a relationship with me?"

Kageyama blushed brightly, dipping his ears back a bit and nodding, wrapping his arms around the pteropine's waist. "I mean, yeah? Yeah of course I do." He glanced away shyly, mumbling quietly under his breath, "I want to be able to call you cute names, like baby, and sweetheart…"

Mala'chai arched his brow, laughing and shaking his head while chiding affectionately, "Tobio you absolute idiot. You don't have to be my boyfriend to call me pet names. You could have called me baby all along."

"Really?" Kageyama breathed, Mala'chai nodding and tugging him closer for a kiss, threading his fingers through Kageyama's dark hair, licking into his mouth and humming softly. Kageyama shivered pleasantly at the hint of the pteropine's claws, pulling back after another moment and searching his eyes, asking gently, "Is it still okay if I want to date you? If I want you to be my boyfriend?"

Mala'chai's gaze was soft and affectionate as he watched the lupine before him, reaching up and cupping Kageyama's cheek. "If that's what you want, then yeah. Let's be boyfriends."

Kageyama nodded, smiling and tugging Mala'chai close for another kiss, moaning softly as the other beta started tugging at his belt, unbuttoning his jeans and shoving them down his hips slightly, Kageyama growling teasingly and turning Mala'chai to face the wall. Mala'chai braced himself and moaned out brokenly as Kageyama quickly tugged down his jeans as well, spreading his cheeks and taking a moment to spit into his hand and slick his cock before lining himself up and thrusting inside. He started a quick rhythm between them as they huddled together in the alleyway beside the bar, listening to the sounds of their bandmates practicing inside just on the other side of the wall, Mala'chai's voice ringing out sharply into the dark.

Kageyama growled and mouthed at the other beta's shoulder, pumping his hips, Mala'chai begging him for more while pressing his palms firmly against the rough brick and arching his back, his cock still trapped beneath the fabric of his briefs. "Tobio! Tobio please!"

"Tell me you want me." Kageyama growled against his shoulder, the other beta whining and clenching around him tightly, shivering at Kageyama's words. "Tell me you want me to breed you. Tell me you want my knot."

"Alpha! Alpha, yes please!" He shifted one of his hands down to shove his briefs under his cock, wrapping his fingers around himself and stroking quickly, his flushed cheek pressed against the wall. "Oh fuck Tobio, you feel so fucking good inside me! Ah, please! I want your pups! Give me your pups, Alpha!"

Kageyama groaned at that familiar heat twisting inside of him, focusing on the feeling of it in the pit of his stomach, traveling through his limbs and tingling in his toes and fingertips, his eyes closing and his head tilting back as he panted against the night air. "Good boy, Chai. Good boy. That's my good breeder. You're such a good boy for me, aren't you sweetheart?"

The older beta nodded eagerly, moaning and canting his hips back quickly, gasping and crying out desperately as Kageyama found his prostate and he instantly climaxed, jerking his cock while cumming in hot streaks against the brick wall. "Oh fuck yes! Ah! Right there, Tobio!"

"Yeah? Right there?" Kageyama chuckled and moaned deeply as he suddenly withdrew, turning Mala'chai quickly and pressing him back against the brick wall. He kissed him eagerly, lifting one of his legs, tugging off his boot and stripping off his pant-leg before lifting his thigh around his waist and guiding himself inside again, Mala'chai's entire face flushed as he clung to Kageyama's shoulders, squeaking as he hid his face against the younger beta's neck. "You're such a good boy, Chai. I'm gonna give you everything, all I have to give." He jerked the older boy against him roughly, fucking into him quickly and bullying his prostate, Mala'chai's toes curling and his voice rising as his cock twitched defiantly against his stomach. "You like that, huh? You like being my breeder, baby?"

Mala'chai nodded and clung to his shoulders tightly, whining as Kageyama mouthed at his shoulder and throat. "Alpha, Alpha…!"

Kageyama crooned and nipped at his fluttering pulse teasingly, tightening his grip on Mala'chai's thigh while pinning him against the wall, fucking into him quickly and licking the sweat from his upper lip as he grunted eagerly, "You're aching for me, aren't you baby? You wanna wear my mark?"

Mala'chai nodded and let out a needy chirp, the pteropine clenching around him tightly and whimpering as Kageyama pressed his fangs against his throat, "Please, Tobio! Please! I want your mark! I want it!"

Kageyama's heart fluttered at hearing Mala'chai say so out loud, the lupine growling deeply and fucking into him harder than before. Mala'chai squeaked again, his claws digging into Kageyama's jacket as he was fucked roughly, Kageyama moaning heatedly and losing his rhythm slightly as he started to cum, canting his hips in quick little rolls while filling the other beta with thick, hot bursts.

They panted shakily as the fire between them lulled, the betas clinging to one another in the alleyway and sharing soft kisses in the dark. Kageyama withdrew eventually, fixing his jeans and belt before helping Mala'chai balance as he redressed and slipped back on his boot, the pteropine grinning and tugging him close for another kiss before offering a joint from his pocket with a soft croon. Kageyama retrieved his lighter, resting against Mala'chai's shoulder while taking a deep drag, looking up towards the night sky and offering the joint to his boyfriend, Mala'chai taking it from his fingertips and nuzzling against his ear sweetly.

"I think I love you." Mala'chai whispered softly, and Kageyama turned and met his eyes, searching those storm-grey irises he'd come to know so well.

He let out a soft breath, a smile teasing across his lips as he pressed a little closer, giving Mala'chai a slow kiss before whispering gently, "I think I love you too."

It had been two months since they'd met. Two months of learning one another and exploring together, and now that they were officially dating it would be only six months before they were torn apart.
