Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics
Ch 07: Asphyxiate
Kuroo perked his ears towards Haiba as the vulpine answered the front door, meeting Kuroo's eyes and backing away a step to allow the Alpha inside. Kuroo offered him a little smile, setting down his overnight bag and kicking off his shoes before making his way towards Kozume's bedroom, Yaku glancing up and meeting his eyes as he approached. The beta sighed quietly, turning towards Kuroo and dipping back his ears a bit, whispering softly, "I've tried to speak to him, but he won't respond or let me inside."
Kuroo nodded his understanding, stepping towards the door and knocking quietly, his tone gentle and concerned as he called, "Kitten? Hey, I'm here. I came to see you." He lingered beside the door, listening for any sign of movement from within. After a few moments of silence, he tried again. "I asked Keiji if I could spend the night. He said I can stay with you for as long as you'd like." He tilted back his ears a bit, coaxing gently, "Can you unlock the door for me, Kenma? Please?"
Nothing happened for a few moments, then soft footsteps approached the door from the opposite side. There was a faint click, and then nothing else, Kuroo reaching out to try the doorknob and finding it was unlocked. He paused briefly, giving Yaku a little smile as the beta sighed in relief, before Kuroo opened the door partially and stepped into the bedroom, quietly closing the door behind him.
It was dark, Kuroo's eyes dilating as they gradually adjusted, the Alpha padding closer to the side of the bed and taking a seat beside Kozume on the floor, watching the omega with a worried expression. Kozume was quiet, his arms wrapped around his knees and his face hidden, his shoulders shaking a little bit as he cried softly. He didn't look up.
Kuroo reached out and wrapped an arm around him gently, rubbing along his side and tugging him gingerly closer, Kozume sniffing and slowly uncurling enough to rest against Kuroo's side, his breathing shaky as Kuroo slipped his hand between Kozume's, squeezing his fingers lightly.
"Kou called me, he told me what happened." Kuroo said softly, tilting his ears towards the beta and asking hesitantly, "He said you closed yourself up in your room and you haven't talked to anyone? Not even Hinata?"
"I can't-" Kozume's breath hitched, and he squeezed Kuroo's fingers while letting out a quiet sob, shaking his head. "I can't talk about it right now."
Kuroo ducked back his ears a bit before perking them once more, dipping down and nosing into his hair. "Alright. That's okay, sweetheart. That's okay." He glanced up a bit, his eyes surveying the room, offering softly, "Do you want to crawl into bed with me? Maybe watch a movie?" He looked down at the beta again, adding quietly, "It might help get your mind off of things…"
Kozume didn't respond for a while, then nodded subtly, Kuroo kissing his crown and slowly helping him to his feet. He watched quietly as Kozume got into bed, wrapping himself up in several blankets before grabbing a pillow, hiding his face against it and trying to silence his soft sobs. Kuroo waited until he was certain Kozume was comfortable before laying down beside him, wrapping his arm around his waist and reaching up to the headboard, eventually locating the remote for the tv in one of the shallow cubbies. He flipped through the on-screen menus and picked out a movie from Kozume's collection, returning the remote to where he'd located it before, soft music drifting through the bedroom as the movie started to play.
He kissed Kozume's shoulder gently, snuggling up behind him and sharing his warmth. Kozume was quiet, sniffing softly and glancing up towards the movie, his ears perking a bit as Kuroo laced their fingers, the beta squeezing his fingers back lightly before breathing out shakily. "Thank you for coming…"
"You're welcome, babe…" Kuroo whispered, kissing his shoulder once more before nuzzling into his nape, breathing in his scent and resting his nose against him. He petted Kozume's side, content to cuddle with him and watch the movie together over his shoulder, both beta and Alpha falling into a comfortable silence.
They watched two movies before Kozume finally stirred, the beta pushing himself up a bit and rubbing at his eyes, frowning lightly, glancing back at Kuroo and rolling over to face him, nuzzling into his chest and clinging to his hoodie lightly. The Alpha crooned, rubbing along his back and kissing at his forehead and cheeks, Kozume tilting his face up gradually so Kuroo could kiss him, the beta tightening his grip slightly and sighing against his lips, relaxing beneath his touch.
When they parted, he blinked up at Kuroo, searching his eyes, a few stray tears dripping down his cheeks.
"He asked Koutarou to bond with him." He whispered softly, his brow arching, his breath hitching as he fought to breathe. "He asked Koutarou to bond with him. Not me. He didn't ask me."
Kuroo watched him quietly, his ears dipping back a bit, his chest twisting as he watched the slow tears dripping down Kozume's flushed cheeks. The Alpha wasn't sure what to say, crooning softly again and dipping down to nose at his forehead, allowing the beta to cling to him and cry softly, rubbing up and down his back soothingly. He hated seeing Kozume upset like this. He had questions he wanted to ask to clarify the situation, but he didn't want to say something he shouldn't and accidentally make things worse, and so he kept his questions to himself, letting out a soft sigh instead, closing his eyes and holding the beta tightly in the dark.

After leaving Kozume's house, Bokuto had decided to start packing up his dorm in preparation of moving in with Hinata, Atsumu and Osamu offering to come and help him move boxes once he was done packing. In the meantime, the twins did their very best to console Hinata, the omega still not quite able to wrap his head around the concept that Kozume had wanted to bond with him all along, causing his unexpected reaction at Hinata's sudden announcement.
Hinata frowned a little, staring at the electric tea kettle as it slowly started to boil, the floral neon lights illuminating the pitcher slowly spiraling through various colors, the omega watching them and sniffing lightly, blinking back tears. Atsumu perked his ears towards him with a little frown, glancing up from the kitchen table and setting his book aside, padding over to the omega quietly and wrapping his arms around him from behind, nuzzling into his shoulder, Hinata humming quietly and leaning back against him, letting out a trembling sigh.
"I can't stop thinking about it." Hinata admitted softly, Atsumu squeezing him a little tighter as he added, "I keep wondering if I made the wrong decision, if I acted impulsively asking Kou to bond with me so suddenly, but I can't…" He arched his brow, closing his eyes and whispering, "I can't bring myself to think that. It doesn't feel like a mistake. It feels exactly like it should feel for it to be right and real and true." He blinked again, a tear trailing down his cheek as he looked up at Atsumu, asking, "Am I being stupid? Do you think I'm making a mistake?"
Atsumu frowned a little at that, turning Hinata around to face him and cupping his cheek, taking a breath before replying gently, "I think you made the decision that felt right in your heart. I don't think bonding with Koutarou would be a mistake. I think that Kenma is hurting and feeling vulnerable, because somewhere in his mind he imagined himself in Koutarou's place as your primary, even if he never said so out loud." He pet over Hinata's cheek, wiping away that slow tear, offering him a gentle smile. "I understand how Kenma is feeling. As soon as you said something, I felt my chest seize up, and my initial reaction was anxiety and fear that I might lose you, but I know now that's just my own insecurities and not the reality of the situation. Once Kenma is calm enough to speak with you about it, if you can reassure him, the same way you and Koutarou reassured me, I'm certain he will be able to be happy for you both." He dipped down to give Hinata a kiss, whispering affectionately, "He loves you very, very much Shouyou. We all do. We love you both."
Hinata hummed and nodded lightly, pushing himself up on his toes to reconnect their lips, Atsumu smiling and holding Hinata tighter against him, the omega wrapping his arms around the Alpha's neck.
Osamu padded into the kitchen from their bedroom a moment later with a small stack of dishes in tow, glancing up and grinning impishly, a low growl rumbling in his throat. Atsumu chuckled softly as he glanced towards his twin, Osamu giving him a teasing smile before Atsumu returned to kissing Hinata, the omega moaning softly.
Osamu set down the dishes he was carrying by the sink, then went to the cupboards to fetch a couple of mugs and set them beside the tea kettle as it started to boil, his eyes flitting up to watch Hinata and Atsumu kissing. The tawny Alpha was petting along Hinata's lower back while the omega arched against him, Hinata whining softly and tightening hold on Atsumu's neck, their movements growing heated. Osamu licked across his fangs, stepping closer as his growling deepened, smoothing his hand along Hinata's waist and nuzzling at his brother's shoulder, Atsumu pulling back a bit so Osamu could take his place. Hinata bit his bottom lip, giggling and wrapping his arms around Osamu's neck while tugging him closer, sighing between kisses as the silver Alpha drew Hinata against his chest.
Atsumu watched them with a soft growl, perking his ears towards the tea kettle as it started to whistle, flicking off the power and returning his attention to his brother and Hinata, crooning soft and low as he leaned in and whispered against Hinata's ear, "Should we take this to bed?"
Hinata hummed and nodded eagerly, gasping softly against Osamu's lips, Atsumu grinning impishly and watching as Osamu picked up the small omega and carried him to their bedroom, still kissing as they went. Hinata continued whining softly as Osamu gripped his thighs and ass, kneading against his curves teasingly, gently laying Hinata down against the sheets before settling above him on the bed.
Atsumu watched them hungrily while stripping off his shirt and reaching down to unbuckle his belt, sliding out of his jeans and shoving down his boxers, finally stepping over to the bed. He leaned down to nip at Osamu's shoulder, the twins exchanging a flirty smirk before Osamu drew back, Atsumu taking his place instead. While Osamu stripped, Atsumu helped Hinata out of his clothes as well, the omega gasping and whining as Atsumu tugged up his sweater so his chest was exposed, the Alpha nipping at his nipples teasingly until they perked. The omega bit his lip, whining needily and watching with a growing blush as Atsumu kissed down his stomach, tugging down his leggings and underwear so he could nip at his thighs, his bronze eyes glancing up to meet Hinata's honey-brown, the omega giggling softly at his little lovebites.
Osamu crawled back into bed beside them a moment later, the silver Alpha leaning over Hinata and kissing his lips slowly, the omega humming and reaching up to him while Atsumu lifted his legs and continued nipping at his inner thighs, the twins working together to stoke Hinata into a frenzy. Hinata gasped and moaned at the feeling of Atsumu's fangs against his inner thighs so close to his crux, Osamu licking into his mouth and stealing his breath, kissing down Hinata's neck and brushing his fingertips across the omega's chest, teasing one of his nipples and pinching it before tugging lightly, Hinata's eyes glazing over as he started to submit.
"Alpha, Alpha please…"
"Good boy." Osamu whispered encouragingly, kissing at his fluttering pulse and tweaking his nipple again. "Good boy, Shouyou. You're our good breeder, aren't you sweetheart? You want us to stuff you?"
Hinata gasped and moaned, arching against his touch, panting softly and nodding eagerly once more, whining as Osamu grinned against his shoulder, his fingers wrapping around Hinata's cock.
"Alpha! Alpha…" Hinata whined, shaking lightly as he canted his hips forward into Osamu's hand, Atsumu growling and sinking his fangs into his plush thighs, easily leaving bright red marks against his pale skin, marks that would surely start to bruise later. The twins exchanged a glance, then Osamu pulled back his hand to lap the precum off of his fingers, Atsumu snorting softly and watching him with a glint in his eyes.
"Do you want him first?" Osamu asked, Atsumu licking his lips as he pulled his mouth from Hinata's flesh, panting softly and shaking his head.
"No, you take him first. I'll wait my turn." He grinned impishly, leaning up to nuzzle into his twin's neck, "I can have him anytime I want, while you're busy studying and attending classes. I know how much he misses you when you're gone."
Osamu hummed, closing his eyes briefly and leaning into Atsumu's touch for a moment longer before they shifted positions, Atsumu resting at Hinata's side while Osamu slid between his legs, tugging his thighs up and teasing his cockhead between his lips, catching the omega's eyes as he said gently, "Look at me, Shouyou. Look at me."
The omega whined and blinked up at him, searching his eyes, a distinct haze glazed over his honey-brown irises. Atsumu smirked, leaning down to lap at Hinata's cheek, Osamu grinning as well and holding Hinata's eyes as he pressed inside, watching the omega's expression as he was penetrated.
"That's it, that's our good boy." Atsumu praised, reaching down to press his fingertips against Hinata's stomach, tracing below his navel and feeling the pressure change as Osamu gave him more and more of his cock. "Does our baby boy wanna be bred? Hmm?"
Hinata gasped and arched, clinging to Atsumu's shoulder and reaching down to grip Osamu's leg, rolling his hips down and taking his cock to the hilt, whining at the stretch, panting and tilting his head to the side, offering his neck submissively. He didn't reply with words, merely whining out in soft, needy bursts and rolling down his hips, Osamu chuckling and gripping his hips before slowly starting to fuck him.
Hinata cried out excitedly and arched against each thrust, his breathing coming in hot, short bursts as he panted harshly and yipped at the sensation of Osamu's cock bumping against his cervix, the Alpha groaning and quickening his pace, panting as well as he started pressing in his swelling knot. Atsumu watched their movements approvingly, snorting softly and dipping down to kiss across Hinata's chest, lapping over one of his nipples before taking it between his teeth and tugging gently, lapping against it to soothe it with his tongue before nipping teasingly again. He continued leaving little fang marks across Hinata's chest as he made his way towards the opposite nipple, Hinata crying out needily and tightening his hold on Atsumu's shoulder, biting into his strong, lean muscles with his fingernails.
"Fuck, he's clenching around me so damn tight." Osamu moaned, watching his brother work across the omega's chest, Atsumu chuckling softly and nodding, glancing up to meet his twin's eyes.
"He's still not able to do this with Kou." Atsumu confided, perking his ears up and glancing down at Hinata. "He gets so wound up from not being penetrated, he's always super tight when he starts begging for my knot."
"Alpha! Alpha please!" Hinata whined hazily, gasping and crying out as Osamu's knot popped inside, the omega whining desperately and rocking his hips quickly, Osamu moaning as the omega clamped down around him. He growled and bucked his hips over and over, waiting for Hinata to spill, Atsumu wrapping his fingers around Hinata's small cock and jerking him quickly, the omega practically screaming as he came.
Osamu arched his back, moaning out appreciatively at the feeling of Hinata cumming around him, licking his lips and bucking forward again, pressing the tapered tip of his cockhead against the jut of Hinata's cervix, trying to align their bodies for a few moments longer before everything popped into place and they locked, Osamu cumming roughly while Hinata clenched tightly around him.
"Fuck yes." Osamu groaned, cumming inside of Hinata in hot bursts, his cum pushing past Hinata's cervix and spurting into his womb, quickly filling him with a fat load of thick cum. The sensation had Hinata yipping and whining out to him, the omega jerking his hips against Osamu's knot and writhing beneath him, Atsumu crooning and kissing Hinata messily. The omega panted heavily against him, kissing him back breathlessly, the tawny Alpha growling softly, still stroking his sticky cock.
"Feeling good?" Atsumu asked as he pushed himself up, carding his fingers through Osamu's hair and meeting his eyes, the silver Alpha nodding and moaning softly as his cock released another wave of cum.
"Yeah, he feels amazing." Osamu sighed, rolling his hips gently, Hinata whining and resting beneath him while panting shakily, his eyes glazed over as he blinked slowly, completely submissive beneath the Alpha locked inside him.
Atsumu crooned his approval, cupping Osamu's nape and tugging him into a kiss, the silver Alpha moaning softly and kissing him back gently, Atsumu petting along his side and the rise of his ass, Osamu shivering at his touch. "Want me to lick you while you breed him?" Atsumu offered with a teasing smile, Osamu groaning heatedly at the suggestion, pressing his forehead to his twin's, nodding and kissing him again.
"Yeah, yeah please? It feels so fucking good…"
Atsumu hummed and nodded, shifting his position, laying down on his stomach and nipping at Osamu's plush cheeks for a moment before spreading them, the silver Alpha gasping softly at feeling his hot breath between his cheeks, biting his lip and closing his eyes at that first press of tongue.
"Fuck, Atsu! Fuck yes, please…"
Atsumu growled softly, licking another wet stripe over his brother's tight hole, teasing him with his tongue, tracing circles before pressing his tongue more firmly against him, feeling the way Osamu was trembling, moaning as he started pressing inside.
Osamu gasped as he bucked into Hinata, cumming inside of him in another thick burst, panting openly and rocking back against his brother's tongue, whining and canting back against his face. "Atsu, you feel so fucking good! Please, I want you!" He bit his lip, glancing over his shoulder, whining and trembling lightly. "Please, I want you to fuck me. I want your cock."
Atsumu chuckled and thrust his tongue in further, lapping into him and listening to Osamu's growing moans, humming and fucking him with his tongue, reaching down between his legs to start jerking his cock.
"Atsu, you fucking tease!" Osamu whined, trying desperately to press back a bit further, wanting more of him inside. "You know I can barely move like this! Ah fuck, please!"
"So needy." Atsumu huffed, biting at one of his brother's cheeks, Osamu yipping softly and whining as Atsumu kissed up his spine, nuzzling between his shoulder blades and pushing Osamu forward so he was on all fours over Hinata. He smoothed his palm across Osamu's back, crooning softly while lining himself up and teasing the tip of his cock between his cheeks, starting to press inside.
"Fuck, fuck yes! Oh fuck Atsu!" Osamu gasped, releasing another wave inside of Hinata, the omega whining and wrapping his arms around his neck, clinging to him desperately. He cried out excitedly, gasping as Atsumu started trusting quicker into Osamu, his movements jerking the thick, swollen knot still trapped deep inside of him.
"Alpha! Alpha! Please!"
"Kiss him, Osu." Atsumu coaxed heatedly, grunting as he held his brother's hips, fucking into him in harsh, quick slaps. "I want to watch you kiss him while you're locked."
Osamu was already kissing Hinata as Atsumu spoke, moaning and tracing his tongue against the panting omega's, whining and gasping as Atsumu angled his hips up and prodded mercilessly at his prostate, coaxing his knot to release another hot, thick load of cum. Atsumu growled out deeply as he felt his own knot start to swell, catching on his brother's slicked rim, the tawny Alpha panting and nipping at Osamu's shoulder as he watched them kiss. He kept thrusting for as long as he could before finally breaking away and quickly withdrawing from Osamu, jerking himself quickly, crying out as he came across his brother's back and ass in hot, sticky ropes.
Osamu moaned and glanced back over his shoulder, meeting Atsumu's eyes as they both continued to cum, Atsumu's fingers wrapped tightly around his own knot while his other hand continued jerking his shaft, Osamu still locked inside of Hinata's clenching crux, cumming directly into his womb, the omega's belly already distended.
"Fuck you two are pretty…" Atsumu panted, groaning as he collapsed beside them, Osamu laughing and rolling onto his side, Hinata pressed between them. The two Alphas curled up against him on either side to keep him warm, panting quietly and waiting for Osamu's knot to release so Atsumu could breed him next.
"I love you." Osamu sighed softly, Atsumu chuckling and leaning over Hinata's shoulder to give him a kiss, his brother humming and kissing him back lightly.
"Love you too, Osu."
Between them Hinata was slowly rising from submission, purring softly as he smoothed his fingers over his rounded tummy, nuzzling into Osamu's neck and listening to the twins kissing, a happy smile twisting his lips and he whispered dreamily, "I love you both so much."

Akaashi glanced towards Sugawara as the other omega approached, giving him a warm smile and accepting the mug Sugawara offered him, steam curling from the surface of the hot cocoa and curling into the night air. They were sitting outside on the upstairs balcony, looking out across the endless stars, Sugawara returning to his place beside Akaashi and snuggling up close under his heated blanket, Akaashi resting against him and blowing away the steam absently as Sugawara asked, "So then, Tetsu went to comfort him? Because something happened with his best friend?"
Akaashi hummed softly, "Apparently Hinata intends to bond with Bokuto, and when he told Kozume he simply couldn't handle it. He had a bit of a breakdown." The traced his fingertips against the lip of his mug absently. "Apparently he locked himself in his room away from everyone. He still hadn't spoken to anyone before Tetsu arrived."
"Poor dear." Sugawara sighed softly, casting his eyes towards the stars as well, his mug resting in his lap. "It's difficult, finding out the person you love is intent on bonding with another." He lifted his mug to his lips, sipping at his cocoa gingerly, tilting one of his ears towards Akaashi before asking, "Do you think Hinata would ever consider extending their bond to include Kozume?"
"I don't know." Akaashi replied quietly. "He certainly seemed kind and gentle enough to be able to balance bonding with two unique partners, though I am uncertain as to the depth of the relationship between Kozume and Bokuto themselves. That may not be something they're capable of establishing."
"I only wonder because of our arrangement with Toru and Hajime." Sugawara mused, thinking of his bonded while taking another sip. "It seems that if all three of them could come to an agreement, there's nothing to prevent them from sharing their lives together. I know Daichi and I have never been happier."
Akaashi hummed quietly, taking a sip of his cocoa as well. "From what Kuroo has divulged, I am under the impression that Kozume wanted to have a solitary bond between himself and Hinata. He's likely under such distress right now, the thought of sharing a bond with both Hinata and Bokuto is entirely out of the question."
Sugawara nodded, thinking for a moment before asking gingerly, "Would it be too forward of me to bring it up to Hinata upon our first meeting? I wouldn't want to overstep and say too much, but perhaps if I mention it while we are spending time together, he might think about such an arrangement with Kozume?"
Akaashi hummed and nodded, perking his ears towards his roommate with a soft smile. "As open as Hinata was with me upon our first meeting, I doubt that would be overstepping by bringing up such a concept. It may actually help him, if he hasn't considered such a relationship before."
Sugawara returned his smile, reaching over to take one of Akaashi's hands, the two omegas sitting together in silence beneath the stars, Sugawara sighing softly.
He wasn't certain if it would help Hinata in the end, but if there was something he could do to help the sweet omega that had helped Akaashi, he would do his very best to try and assist. It was the least he could do to thank Hinata for his kindness.
-x-x-x-
Bokuto perked his ears towards the sound of his phone, wiping his brow and stepping away from the boxes he was packing, perking his ears towards the unfamiliar number that flashed across his screen. He frowned a little, debating whether or not to answer the call, but in the end he answered and lifted the phone to his ear, asking with a hint of uncertainty, "Hello?"
"Bokuto. It's Akaashi."
The Alpha's eyes widened and he stopped breathing, dipping back his ears slightly and glancing around the room in disbelief, stepping over to his bed and sitting down on the edge while letting out a soft exhale and replying tentatively, "A-Akaashi, I…" His voice trailed off, and he swallowed thickly, trying again after a moment. "Tetsu gave you my number?"
"Yes." Akaashi replied softly, and several moments of silence passed before the omega spoke again. "I'm sorry I didn't speak with you when you first came to see me." Akaashi let out a soft, shaky sigh, then asked quietly, "Tetsu said that you and Hinata are bonding?"
The tension in Bokuto's shoulders relaxed a bit at that, a warm smile crossing his face. "Yeah, yeah he asked me to bond with him earlier tonight. He's...amazing. I never imagined he would ask me so suddenly, but I couldn't be happier. He means everything to me."
Akaashi hummed softly, then continued quietly with, "Hinata is very generous, and sweet. It definitely seems like he would be a good match for you."
Bokuto wasn't sure what to say to that, asking hesitantly, "Did...did Tetsurou tell you why I wanted to talk to you? Why Shouyou and I were there?"
"Not exactly." Akaashi admitted, uncertainty in his tone. "He said he had made a mistake, and that you hadn't intended to hurt me. He mentioned that there were certain details he felt would be best heard from you directly, but I was so overwhelmed in the moment I wasn't truly able to process everything that was being said."
Bokuto hummed softly, nodding and reclining back slightly, glancing up to the ceiling as he whispered, "I didn't mean to upset you, showing up like that. I'm sorry, Akaashi."
"I know. It's alright." Akaashi replied softly, then after a moment he asked, "Would you like to speak again sometime? Perhaps...after my coffee date with Hinata?" He paused for a moment, then added, "I think by that time I will have gathered myself enough to speak with you in person. Whatever it is that needs to be said, I agree it would likely be most beneficial if heard from you directly, when we can speak to one another face to face."
Bokuto nodded quickly, replying, "Yeah, yeah I would really like that. If that's okay with you?"
Akaashi hummed quietly, "Alright then. We'll speak again soon." He lingered for a while, breathing softly against the receiver, then he said gently, "Goodnight, Bokuto."
"Goodnight, Akaashi." He replied softly, smiling faintly and waiting for that soft click, lowering his phone to his lap and exhaling shakily, blinking away tears and rubbing his palm back and forth over his heart.
It had hurt, hearing his voice again, but at the same time it had felt very, very good.
He wanted to tell Akaashi everything, he wanted to explain what had happened so the omega could finally understand that Bokuto had never meant to hurt him, and had loved him all along. He took a few moments to collect himself before looking to his phone again, checking his text messages, quickly opening a new text and typing for a few seconds before pressing send, a soft smile twisting his lips.
Now all he had to do was wait patiently until Hinata's coffee date with Akaashi, and then afterwards, once everything had been said, hopefully he and Akaashi could at least return to being friends.
-x-x-x-
Kuroo perked his ear towards his phone, checking his messages, smiling at seeing a new text from Bokuto. He opened the text, light reflecting in his irises as he chuckled and text back briefly, setting his phone aside once he had replied and nuzzling into Kozume's shoulder once more. The beta was distracted for now, playing a video game and relaxing into Kuroo's warm embrace, the Alpha watching over him and ensuring he was not sinking back into that dark place he had been in when Kuroo had first arrived.
Yaku and Haiba came to check in on them after a while, Kozume apologizing to them for his out of character behavior and thanking them for their concern before the vulpines said goodnight and left Kozume and Kuroo to their own devices. Kozume had been playing video games ever since. Kuroo didn't mind, he fully understood Kozume wasn't speaking to him much because he was tired and distracted, the Alpha content to simply snuggle up to the beta and remark on his gameplay now and then, Kozume smiling and laughing softly at his commentary, his features more relaxed and his scent calmer, his ears perked towards Kuroo's voice.
Eventually Kozume set his game aside, sitting up and stripping his oversized hoodie off overhead, straddling Kuroo's waist and looking down at him with a soft smile, leaning over him to give him soft kisses. Kuroo sighed contentedly and kissed him back gently, smoothing his palms along Kozume's hips and cupping his ass as the beta made soft sounds against his lips, rocking against his semi and licking into his mouth.
"Fuck me." He whispered shakily, and Kuroo quickly complied, rolling Kozume onto his back and tugging off his leggings, sliding between his thighs while freeing his cock. He worked Kozume open for a few brief moments before lining up his cock and pressing inside, Kozume gasping quietly and clinging to his shoulders, muffling his sounds as Kuroo bucked into him slow and deep. He shifted their positions slightly, guiding Kozume's legs over his shoulders and bending Kozume in on himself to fuck him at a deeper angle, the beta whining and watching him with a heated expression, his entire face flushed, the beta arching up and tugging him down for more sloppy kisses.
"I love you." Kuroo whispered, Kozume gasping and kissing him again, whining and curling his toes against the air, breathing shakily against Kuroo as he twined his fingers in his dark hair. "I love you, Kenma. I love you, sweetheart."
"I love you too!" Kozume gasped, moaning sweetly as Kuroo quickened his pace, the Alpha's knot starting to catch on his rim as Kuroo kept pressing forward insistently. The beta keened and cried out sharply as his knot finally popped inside, kissing Kuroo hotly as he came in sticky bursts between them, the Alpha groaning and rolling his hips slowly as he came inside as well. They stayed close together, kissing and sharing breath while clinging to one another, Kozume whining softly and hiding his face against Kuroo's neck as he started crying shakily, soft little gasps escaping him as Kuroo laced their fingers gently.
"Sweetheart…" Kuroo whispered worriedly, Kozume sniffing and shaking his head.
"I'm okay…" He breathed softly, pulling back a bit and meeting Kuroo's eyes. "It's just...I love Shouyou. I want to be with him. I love him so much. I don't want...I don't want anything to change…"
"Nothing has to change between you two." Kuroo whispered gently, squeezing Kozume's fingers and pressing a kiss to his wet cheek, searching his tawny eyes. "Just because they're bonding, do you honestly believe that means Hinata will love you any less?" He pet Kozume's cheek, continuing. "He absolutely adores you. He's loved you an entire lifetime. There is nothing Koutarou could do or say that would affect the connection you share." He gave Kozume a soft kiss, nuzzling his nose and whispering, "Have faith in him, and trust yourself. You know how much he loves you. You know how much he cares."
"I know…" Kozume whispered shakily, sniffing and nuzzling Kuroo back as well. "I just...I thought one day he and I...that we might share a bond together." He arched his brow, another soft hiccup escaping him as he confided quietly, "I even...I bought us matching rings. I never...had the courage to give it to him, obviously, or to ask him to bond with me, but I…" He hid his face once more, sniffing and breathing shakily against Kuroo's neck. "I wanted to…"
Kuroo held him close, crooning deeply and kissing at Kozume's temple and crown, allowing the beta to sob against him quietly. After a few moments the Alpha shifted, rolling onto his side gently, careful as he pulled the blankets over them, patiently waiting for his knot to release. He rubbed along Kozume's back, trying to soothe him however he could, thinking to himself for a moment before asking, "Kenma, are you close with Koutarou?"
Kozume sniffed and pulled back a bit, blinking as he met Kuroo's eyes. "What did you say?"
Kuroo smiled down at him affectionately, cupping his face and repeating gently, "I asked if you were close with Koutarou. You asked him to stay the other night, you comforted him after I threatened him, right?"
Kozume blinked, nodding slowly, one of his ears tilting to the side. "Yes, of course I did. You know what he means to Shouyou…"
"Yes, I know that, but what does he mean to you." Kuroo searched his eyes, trying to read his expression. "What I'm asking is, are you close enough to Koutarou that you would consider sharing a bond with him? Would you bond with Kou and Hinata both?"
Kozume blinked, obviously surprised, ducking back his ears a bit. "Why would you even ask such a thing?"
Kuroo arched his brow a bit, laughing softly. "I ask because it isn't unheard of. My roommates are actually bonded to another couple."
Kozume inhaled softly, his eyes widening, blinking away his tears and reaching up to wipe his cheeks, "Are you serious? I don't even…" He shook his head, completely dumbfounded, furrowing his brow and whispering uncertainly, "How?"
Kuroo hummed quietly, pivoting his ears towards the beta before replying softly, "I'm not certain how much they would be comfortable with me sharing, since you're a stranger to them, but I will say that the four of them are very happy together, and share one another equally. They have full, open communication and trust one another completely." He tilted his head to the side, searching Kozume's eyes as he added gently, "As much as you love Hinata, and as close as it seems you are to Koutarou, I just wondered if maybe you might consider bonding with them both."
Kozume hummed quietly, one of his ears flicking lightly as he settled down against Kuroo's chest, closing his eyes and letting out a shaky breath, his fingertips tracing against the Alpha's chest over his heart. "No, no I hadn't considered the possibility of sharing a three-way bond." He frowned a little, pressing closer to Kuroo's chest, whispering softly, "Can we talk about it more later? I just...I need some time."
"Of course." Kuroo whispered, wrapping his arms around Kozume tightly and holding him close, inhaling his scent and purring against his ear, "Love you, Kitten."
Kozume sighed quietly, relaxing again, tightening his hold on Kuroo's waist and whispering back gently, "I love you too, Tetsurou. Thank you for staying."
The Alpha hummed and nuzzled into his hair, smiling against his soft caramel tresses, listening to Kozume's breathing start to slow, gradually becoming deep and even as he drifted off to sleep.
Thanks for reading! More to come!
