Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics


Ch 26: Avidity

Tsukishima waited quietly for Kuroo to end his conversation, only opting to speak once the Alpha had set his phone aside and rolled over to face him once more. "Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, everything's okay. Kenma's just having some anxiety about meeting up with his mother tomorrow night." Kuroo sighed quietly, draping his arm over Tsukishima's waist, the beta humming quietly and cuddling a little closer, Kuroo pressing a soft kiss to his forehead.

"He isn't close to his family?" Tsukishima asked, Kuroo letting out a soft little hum while shrugging.

"He doesn't talk about them much. His parents are divorced, his mother is overprotective. He's worried she's going to upset Koutarou or Sho."

"I see." Tsukishima sighed, smoothing his palm across Kuroo's bare chest, the Alpha watching him quietly in the darkness. The silence between them lingered for a few moments longer before Kuroo crooned softly and pressed a little closer, tilting Tsukishima's face up and giving him soft kisses, coaxing him back into arousal once more, the beta sighing pleasantly against his lips.

"Is this okay?" Kuroo whispered, Tsukishima nodding and sighing shakily, the Alpha kissing down his neck, nipping at his fluttering pulse, one of his large palms smoothing up Tsukishima's bare thigh beneath the sheets. "I'm sorry we were interrupted, babe. Do you want to continue, or...?"

"Yes." Tsukishima breathed, nodding a little and reaching up to wrap his arms around Kuroo's neck, pulling the Alpha on top of him once more. "Yes, I want to. Please?"

"Yeah, of course…" Kuroo murmured, grinning while pressing kisses along the curve of Tsukishima's throat and shoulder, nuzzling over his scent glands and breathing in his light, neutral scent. Tsukishima bit his lip as Kuroo's palm teased between his thighs, parting his legs slowly and slipping a thigh between them, giving something for Tsukishima to grind against while wrapping his fingers around his cock. Tsukishima gasped softly, biting at Kuroo's shoulder lightly and breathing shakily against his warm skin, moaning and canting his hips against the Alpha's touch, closing his eyes and simply losing himself to the sensation.

Kuroo chuckled softly, listening to the muffled sounds the beta made as he was pleasured, keeping his grip tight and his movements slow, smearing precum along the length of Tsukishima's rigid shaft before teasing his fingertips over the tip.

"Does that feel nice, baby?" Kuroo crooned softly, Tsukishima nodding and clinging to his shoulders a bit tighter, his fingernails pressing deeper into the Alpha's toned muscles. "Tell me what you want from me, Kei. Tell me what you want, and I'll give it to you gladly."

"Your mouth, I want your mouth around me." Tsukishima whined, his voice pitching higher as Kuroo quickened his movements against his weeping cock. "Fuck, Tetsu-" He moaned and rocked his hips down needily, grinding against Kuroo's thigh, "Ah fuck! Please suck me? Please suck my cock-"

Kuroo chuckled deeply, licking his fangs and dipping down to kiss Tsukishima, muffling the filthy sounds spilling from his lips. He growled in the back of his throat teasingly, pushing the beta back against the mattress and disappearing beneath the sheets, quickly wrapping his lips around Tsukishima's arousal. The beta gasped and cried out eagerly, reaching up and clinging to the pillows along the headboard, pinching his brow and gasping as Kuroo did exactly as he asked, sucking him greedily and taking him into the back of his throat, bobbing rhythmically while moaning around him.

It didn't take long for Tsukishima to spill, his entire body coiling and his grip tightening on the pillows above him, his voice echoing loudly through the apartment. Kuroo was smirking in satisfaction as he swallowed him down and pulled back to lick his lips, peeking his head out of the covers once more. Tsukishima was breathing heavily, resting a hand over his eyes as he tried to recover his senses, Kuroo chuckling and kissing at his jaw before settling down beside him, petting over the beta's taut, fluttering stomach.

"Was that good, babe?" Kuroo asked teasingly, and it was all Tsukishima could do not to burst into laughter, the blonde reaching over and swatting at the Alpha's chest tiredly.

"Shut up." He scolded affectionately, Kuroo taking his hand and lacing their fingers, kissing across the rise of his knuckles with an impish little grin.

"Love you too, babe." Kuroo purred, nuzzling against Tsukishima's ear, yawning softly and cuddling up against his side, settling down to sleep. Tsukishima hummed contentedly, squeezing his fingers back lightly and pressing his face against Kuroo's neck, breathing in the Alpha's rich scent and allowing the sound of Kuroo's rumbling purrs to coax him into sleep.

Kuroo held him as he drifted off, listening to the rhythm of his breathing as it transitioned into something slow and deep, the Alpha perking his ears towards the door to Tsukishima's bedroom, listening for any sign that Yamaguchi might have finally arrived home. The apartment was quiet, nothing greeting his ears save for Tsukishima's slow breathing, Kuroo frowning a little and trying not to overthink things.

Tsukishima had mentioned earlier that night that Yamaguchi had been spending a lot of time volunteering recently. It was likely that the freckled beta was still at the hospital with one of his designated charges, doing whatever he possibly could to assist with transitioning into a muted, if not soundless world. Since receiving his cochlear, Yamaguchi had volunteered many times at the hospital, trying anything he could to help those that were subject to similar circumstances; teaching sign language, offering companionship, his own experiences living proof that things could get better, could become easier, with patience and effort and time.

Kuroo inhaled softly, exhaling and nuzzling into Tsukishima's blonde tresses, closing his eyes and trying to quiet his thoughts, one of his ears twitching lightly. He wondered what it was like for Yamaguchi, being asexual and aromatic. How different it must be to live such a life. Kuroo couldn't begin to fathom it.

Across the city, Yamaguchi stood in the shadowed doorway of a hospital room, watching the huddled figure within. The nurse at his side let out a heavy sigh, examining her chart notes and shaking her head, gesturing towards the patient within before beginning to sign.

[Thank you for coming, for trying to spend time with him. Since coming to us, no one has been able to get anywhere close. He barely allows hospital staff to interact with him, let alone anyone else.] Her brow was pinched, her mouth pressed into a firm line. [I'm afraid there's nothing more that can be done tonight. You should go home and try to get some sleep. Maybe he'll be easier to try and approach in the morning.]

Yamaguchi frowned a little, considering for a moment before asking, [Would it be alright if I stayed a little longer? I just want to watch over him until he's able to sleep. Is that okay?]

The nurse nodded, giving Yamaguchi a smile and patting his shoulder lightly before stepping away, Yamaguchi watching her until she disappeared around the corner, returning his attention to the patient within once more. He lingered in the doorway for a while before entering, padding slowly towards the edge of the bed, his ears perked towards the huddled bunch of blankets as he reached out and smoothed his hand over the rise of the messy nest.

The reply was almost instantaneous, an arm lashing out from the pile and striking in the direction Yamaguchi had touched, the beta withdrawing his hand quickly and dipping back his ears, trying his best to remain calm.

"Go away!" A muffled voice cried, and Yamaguchi could sense the vibrations of growling in the air. "Don't touch me! Go away!"

"It's okay." Yamaguchi tried calmly, raising his voice enough to be certain he was heard. He had been informed that this patient had recently recovered from aural surgery in an attempt to repair his hearing, but had refused to allow nurses to work with him since then. Depending on how his recovery progressed, there may be another surgery required, or the potential for the patient to qualify for a cochlear implant in time.

Yamaguchi kept his distance for a moment, then tried reaching out to him again, purring loudly to try and instill a sense of calm. He reached out with both hands, lowering the railing on the side of the bed closest to him, taking a step forward and hesitating only a moment longer before climbing into bed beside him.

When an arm lashed out to strike at him, he deflected it calmly, keeping an arm at face-level and allowing the patient to strike at him a few times before pressing closer again, still purring loudly all the while. The other beta's growling deepened, Yamaguchi's ears pivoting towards the sounds of his defensive hissing and guttural snarls, but Yamaguchi made no move to climb out of bed and leave him alone in the dark.

The patient's vocalizations eventually quieted, and he withdrew his arm and curled in on himself, hiding once more beneath the blankets. Yamaguchi wasn't certain if that meant the patient was tolerating his presence, or if perhaps he was simply planning on ignoring Yamaguchi now that the freckled beta had invaded his personal space.

"It's okay. It's okay." Yamaguchi repeated calmly, reaching out with his other hand and petting over the pile, watching and waiting to see what would happen, wondering if this was the right approach to take, or if he was making a mistake in drawing so close so soon. His arm was throbbing from taking those defensive strikes, but he never stopped purring, never stopped speaking aloud calmly to try and offer what comfort he could.

He wasn't certain how much time passed before something happened, the pile of blankets shifting and moving, soft breathing barely audible as the patient peeked out of the makeshift nest, allowing Yamaguchi to see him properly for the first time. His ears were massive, his nose upturned, and while his eyes were on Yamaguchi he realized after a moment the other beta couldn't see, a faded scar cutting horizontally across his face. His gaze drifted in the direction of Yamaguchi, but didn't focus on him directly, those large ears perking up hesitantly and trying to listen to whatever sounds Yamaguchi might make next.

Yamaguchi reached out carefully, finding one of the beta's hands curled against the blankets, smoothing his fingers over his knuckles gently. "Hi. How are you feeling? Can you understand me okay?"

The beta's expression fell a bit, his ears dipping back and his gaze wandering to the side, taking a moment before exhaling shakily and opening his mouth to speak. "I can't hear what you're saying. I can tell you're trying to talk to me, but nothing's clear. It's just...muffled."

Yamaguchi was surprised at how clearly the other beta's voice came. He must have been hearing previously for his speech to come so easily, without any trace of strained or slurred speech. Yamaguchi hummed softly, taking the beta's hand and gently untangling his fingers from the blanket, guiding his fingers to Yamaguchi's throat, allowing him to feel the vibrations as he tried to speak to him again.

"Is this any better?" He asked, watching the patient's expressions, petting over his wrist reassuringly as the beta's fingers curled against his throat. "It's okay. Take your time. There's no rush."

The other beta didn't respond, his ears perking up a bit as he let out a shaky sigh, his brow pinching and his eyes closing as he turned his face to hide against his pillow. Yamaguchi watched him closely, purring and speaking to him in that same calm, even tone. Was his hearing still recovering from surgery? Would it improve with time, as swelling reduced and his body continued to heal?

Yamaguchi stayed with him a while, until he was certain the other beta was resting peacefully, before carefully slipping out of bed and raising the railing once more. It locked into place with a soft click, Yamaguchi lingering to ensure the patient was still sleeping before beginning to walk away.

This patient was unlike any other he had ever volunteered to help before, and Yamaguchi could already sense there was a lot going on that he didn't understand. They would have to work through things together once the other beta decided to let his guard down enough to allow Yamaguchi to try to help.

Until then, Yamaguchi would do his best to spend time at the hospital every day, and slowly begin to build a foundation of trust.

-x-x-x-

Hinata cried out sharply as he came across Bokuto's chest, Kozume pressed against his sweaty back and kissing at his nape sweetly, moaning heatedly at the sensation of the omega clenching around him. Bokuto was beneath them, panting heavily and moaning as Hinata's grip on his cock tightened then relaxed, the omega shivering pleasantly as Kozume continued bucking into him gently, working him through his orgasm, the beta purring while coaxing Hinata to continue stroking Bokuto's cock.

"That's it Sho, just like that…" He kissed Hinata's shoulder slowly, his lips pressing over Bokuto's bondmark, Hinata gasping loudly and tightening around him while moaning needily, tossing his head back to rest against Kozume's shoulder with a whine.

"Fuck, baby…" Bokuto groaned, canting his hips up into Hinata's slicked fist, his grip on the omega's thighs tightening into something that would likely bruise if the Alpha wasn't cautious of his strength. Kozume noticed the change in his breathing, the desperation reflected in Bokuto's hazy eyes, the beta reaching down and smoothing his hand over Bokuto's abs gently, trying to bring him back into the moment.

"Koutarou, look at me." Kozume whispered gently, Bokuto panting shakily and blinking up at Kozume, licking his upper lip with a slow flick of his tongue. "I'm going to lift Shouyou and give him to you. I need you to pace yourself, okay? Be gentle with him. I've already worked him open for you."

Bokuto nodded, holding Kozume's eyes, the beta and Alpha reaching out to touch one another for the briefest of moments before focusing on Hinata once more. Kozume shifted, lifting Hinata off of his cock and guiding him forward to straddle Bokuto's waist at a higher angle, allowing the Alpha to slick his cockhead between the omega's messy, dripping lips and start to press inside. Hinata was ecstatic, whining and pressing his palms against Bokuto's chest to brace himself, Kozume carefully gripping Hinata's waist and watching as Bokuto pressed inside, coaxing them on gently.

"Good boy, Shouyou. You're such a good boy…"

"Kenma! Kenma!" Hinata gasped for breath, whining and pinching his brow at the sensation of Bokuto's barbs flaring inside of him, scraping against his walls and threatening to lock them in place. The Alpha continued steadily, grunting deeply as he tugged Hinata down against him until the omega was seated on the rise of his knot, Kozume pressing closer to pet across Hinata's heaving sides, purring against his shoulder.

He whispered soft encouragements while the omega whined and wriggled his hips, his body gradually opening up to accept the Alpha's knot as he forced himself to relax, Kozume reaching around to pet over his stomach slowly. He could feel every inch as Bokuto pressed inside to the hilt, the jut of his cockhead tangible against Kozume's fingertips, the beta marveling at his size for a moment before pushing against that telltale bump, waiting patiently for their bodies to align and lock them in place.

"Breathe, sweetheart." Kozume reminded gently, Hinata's entire body shivering with a mixture of overwhelming pleasure and pain. "Breathe for us baby, you're almost there. You're so close to being locked now, I can feel it."

"Shouyou." Bokuto crooned out deeply, searching the omega's teary eyes, petting along the curve of his side gently. "I love you baby. I love you so much. Take a deep breath and let it out slowly." He rubbed against Hinata's hip and side, petting over his stomach gently. "That's it, take a nice, deep breath for me-"

"I can't! I can't!" Hinata gasped out, his body tightening, his fingers curling against Bokuto's chest as tears started slipping down his flushed cheeks. "I want to, I want this so badly-"

Kozume arched his brow, his chest twisting. He'd never heard Hinata sound like this before; so torn, so broken. He purred soothingly while pressing kisses against his shoulder and the top of his spine, whispering gently, "You knew this would hurt, sweetheart. Especially the first time. You're so strong, Shouyou. I know you can do this. You want to have a baby with Koutarou, don't you? Breathe for us, darling. Let Koutarou give you what you're longing for."

Hinata sobbed openly, nodding and trying to do as they asked, trying to focus on their voices, their gentle touches, instead of the sharp, stinging heat inside of him. "Okay, okay…" He took a few short, staccato breaths before inhaling deeply, exhaling in a slow stutter before trying again. Kozume and Bokuto were right beside him, praising him and urging him on, petting over his tummy and chest, his lower back and the curve of his hips, soothing Hinata until the omega's breathing evened out and his tears started to slow.

Carefully, very carefully, Bokuto started rolling his hips, Hinata whining and trying not to tense, Kozume petting over the omega's womb to help guide Bokuto to where he needed to be. He rubbed slow circles over Hinata's lower stomach below his navel, meeting Bokuto's eyes over Hinata's shoulder and saying after a moment of hesitation, "I think you need to be on top of him, Koutarou. Do you think you can switch your positions so Shouyou is lying under you?"

"Yeah," Bokuto breathed, his voice shaky and his hands trembling as he smoothed his palms along Hinata's sides, "Can you fix the pillows so that his back is arched?"

Kozume hummed, shifting to the side and grabbing pillows from the headboard, watching Bokuto as he cradled Hinata against his chest and rolled them over gently. The omega cried out sharply as he was moved, sobbing softly as he clung to Bokuto's shoulders hard enough to draw blood, Kozume placing several pillows against the mattress where they needed to be before Bokuto settled down once more.

Like this, with Hinata resting against the mattress, Kozume could lean closer and kiss him whenever he liked, Hinata taking one of his hands and clinging to him tightly while the beta purred against his lips, shushing him gently. Bokuto watched them for a long moment before letting out a heavy sigh, smoothing his thumbs against the curve of Hinata's pelvis and asking gently, "Alright baby, you ready for me to start moving again?"

Hinata hummed softly, nodding when Kozume pulled back and the omega and Alpha could once again meet eyes. "Please, Kou. Please, give me a baby? Please-"

His breath hitched dramatically as Bokuto started bucking his hips, his toes curling against the messy sheets as he tried to remember how to breathe, whining and clinging to Kozume desperately. The beta watched their movements with something between desire and concern, his cock heavy and throbbing between his legs, still damp from where he'd been pressed inside Hinata before.

He leaned down to kiss Hinata again, the omega wrapping an arm around his shoulders to keep him close, Kozume smoothing his fingers along the curve of Bokuto's cock where it was trapped deep inside of him. Kozume lingered there for a moment longer, tracing his fingertips along the length of Bokuto's cock, before trailing further down Hinata's body. He leaned down to kiss Hinata slowly, his fingers wrapping around Hinata's weeping cock and gently starting to stroke, trying to distract him from the pain while Bokuto coaxed him closer to the edge.

Bokuto watched them together with a heated gaze, grunting softly and closing his eyes, trying to remember what it had felt like when he had been locked inside of Ezra. He bit his lip, a growl starting within his chest, his knot aching as he thrust into Hinata shallowly. He wanted to cum, he needed to cum so badly, but he was far more concerned about Hinata than himself.

He wanted more than anything to give his bondmate what he wanted. He wanted to give Hinata pleasure, to make him feel euphoric. He wanted to spark life inside of him, he wanted desperately for them to have pups together. He wanted to be Hinata's sire. He wanted the pain he was inflicting upon his beloved to be worth it in the end.

He pushed all his anxieties and fears aside, hunching over the omega and beta beneath him, and with a deep snarl he met Hinata's eyes, issuing a direct command that only a bonded Alpha could give to their claimed omega.

"Cum for me, Shouyou."

Hinata's eyes glazed over and he arched his back, squealing as the command rocked through him and forced him to comply. His cock released against his chest and stomach, Kozume stroking him through it, Bokuto growling and snapping his fangs against the air just above Hinata's shoulder, starting to spill as the omega clenched tightly around him.

At the feeling of Bokuto cumming inside, something within Hinata shifted. All of the tension he had been unconsciously holding onto suddenly released, causing the pain he had been struggling with to immediately subside. That tension and pain were blessedly replaced with mind-numbing pleasure that rocked through his core, filling him from head to toe with ecstasy and warmth. Hinata's mind was filled with white light, his vision dancing with glittering stars.

It took only a moment until Bokuto aligned precisely into place, the Alpha grunting in relief as he felt his tapered cockhead jutting directly against Hinata's cervix, opening him up to accept his seed. The Alpha grit his teeth, his nails ripping through the sheets as he gave into that overwhelming feeling, moaning loudly as he continued cumming inside, his knot already starting to release his spurs in thick bursts.

Kozume perked his ears up, his eyes wide, watching Hinata's contented, relieved expressions and Bokuto's satisfaction, a happy smile turning up his lips and a bright blush staining his cheeks. He reached over and petted across Bokuto's lower back gently, the Alpha panting softly and glancing up hazily to meet Kozume's eyes.

"You're locked?" Kozume asked breathlessly, needing to be sure, and Bokuto chuckled tiredly while nodding, letting out a deep, satisfied sigh.

"Yeah, yeah he's taking my spurs. I can feel them passing through me and into him…" He returned his eyes to Hinata, the omega beneath him breathing evenly and blinking slowly, completely under submission from being commanded before. "He's completely relaxed now, he isn't tensing at all. There mustn't be any pain." He smiled to himself, pressing a kiss to Hinata's jaw while murmuring, "He's letting everything inside. It feels so good…"

"Good. That's good, Koutarou." Kozume let out a relieved sound, laying down beside Hinata and watching his lax expressions with a smile, reaching out to card his fingers through the omega's sweaty hair. "I was worried it might not work the first time we tried. I'm so glad we were able to. I want Shouyou to have pups." He tilted his face up slightly, meeting Bokuto's eyes. "That was exactly the right choice to make, Kou. Making him submit to you, forcing him to relax so you could seed him properly." Kozume smiled, nodding his head. "If I had the ability to do so, I would have done the same."

Bokuto hummed softly, blushing faintly and nodding, shivering pleasantly and closing his eyes for a moment to relish the sensation of cumming inside of his omega, his knot steadily releasing more and more of his spurs. "I'm so thankful that you're here with us, that you were able to help me calm him down." He met Kozume's eyes again, giving him a tired little smile. "I couldn't imagine being bonded to Shouyou without you."

Kozume searched the Alpha's tawny eyes slowly, those words twisting in his chest. His brow arched lightly and a soft little laugh escaped him, the beta pushing himself up to press a soft kiss against Bokuto's lips. The Alpha crooned softly in surprise, but returned that soft kiss just as sweetly, Kozume lingering against him for a moment longer before pulling back and relaxing at Hinata's side, petting between the omega's ears gently.

Kozume tended to Hinata for a moment longer before letting out a contented sigh, smoothing his hand down his stomach and holding Bokuto's eyes while wrapping his fingers around his cock, beginning to stroke himself lightly. The Alpha watched him with a little blush, perking his ears towards the sounds of Hinata's soft moans and Kozume's shaky breathing, licking his lips and canting his hips forward gently into Hinata's tight warmth.

"Is this okay?" Kozume asked, and Bokuto nodded, his eyes drifting down the beta's body.

"Yeah, yeah it's okay." Bokuto murmured gently, his brow arching a bit as he let out a shaky breath. "You're beautiful, Kenma. So beautiful. Watching you with Shouyou, it takes my breath away."

"It's the same for me." Kozume whispered gently, stroking himself faster and rocking his hips against his hand, his breathing coming a little rougher as he reached up and pet along the curve of Bokuto's jaw, the Alpha kissing at his fingers lightly. "I couldn't imagine a life without you. Without both of you. Being together like this, the three of us, it feels perfect."

"I know." Bokuto whispered heatedly, nuzzling against Kozume's wrist, lapping over his scent glands slowly. "I love you both so much."

Kozume's breath hitched as Bokuto teased against his wrist with his tongue, the beta jerking himself quickly, thrusting into his fist while panting unevenly. "I love you too. I love you, Koutarou."

Bokuto purred deeply, smiling and nuzzling against Kozume's palm, his expression heated and soft. "You're so fucking beautiful when you're flustered like this. You have such a serene expression when you're about to cum."

Kozume's breath hitched and he let out a broken gasp, his hips twitching as he climaxed suddenly, Bokuto crooning and holding his eyes, Kozume jerking himself slowly through his orgasm.

"Fuck." Kozume breathed, his heart fluttering wildly as he searched Bokuto's eyes, wondering if he was starting to feel more than platonic for the Alpha he was bonded to, or if he was simply longing for Kuroo's touch. The two Alphas had many similarities, many aspects they shared that Kozume equally adored. He rested his sticky fingers against his navel, reigning in his breath while Bokuto kissed at his palm, still rocking his hips now and then gently, Hinata purring as he rested between them.

They were locked for almost an hour before Bokuto was able to withdraw from Hinata's warmth, Hinata's slick crux fluttering around Bokuto's cock as he slipped free, excess cum spilling down the omega's inner thighs.

Hinata slowly returned to himself as he rose from submission, his breath hitching quietly as he blinked slowly towards the candles nearby, trying to clear his muddled thoughts. Kozume watched him closely, carding his fingers through Hinata's hair and whispering to him soothing, Bokuto rolling onto his back with a tired huff and closing his eyes, already teetering on the edge of sleep.

"Koutarou?" Hinata called softly, the Alpha perking up his ears and wrapping his arm around the omega's shoulders as Hinata cuddled up against his side, hiding his face against the curve of Bokuto's neck. "Mmh...thank you…"

Bokuto chuckled warmly, rubbing Hinata's shoulders and upper back gently, looking down at him while replying affectionately, "Get some sleep, baby. We'll have breakfast together on the beach in the morning and watch the sun rise."

Kozume hummed his agreement quietly, cuddling up behind Hinata and kissing his nape, nosing into his bright hair and breathing in his scent. "Rest now, sweetheart. We're right here beside you."

"Thank you." Hinata whispered again, Kozume smiling and humming softly, his vocalizations fading into a happy purr. Hinata joined him a moment later, Bokuto listening to his bondmates harmonize together with a teasing grin before starting to purr as well.

They had the rest of the week to spend together in paradise. With any luck the next time they tried to breed Hinata the omega would experience nothing but exquisite pleasure, shared with his loving bondmates.

-x-x-x-

Akaashi perked his ears towards the foyer as he heard the front door unlocking, returning to his cooking for a moment before calling out to his Alpha, "Just in time for breakfast! Could you check on Skye? He's been crawling around like crazy all morning, he keeps trying to open the gate!"

Kuroo shrugged out of his jacket with a soft sigh, dropping his helmet and overnight bag beside the couch and padding across the carpet towards the playpen beneath the skylights. Skye perked his ears up at his father's approach, letting out a little bark and crawling towards the edge of the pen, grasping onto the railing with both hands and pulling himself up onto his feet. He babbled incoherently, standing wobbly for a few moments before losing his balance and tumbling onto the carpet once more, snorting softly and rolling into his tummy before pushing up onto his hands and knees, crawling back towards the toys in the center of the playpen.

Kuroo watched over him fondly, chuckling and stepping over the baby-gate to follow after his pup, laying down in the middle of the pen and glancing up at the skylights high above, yawning a little and basking in the warmth of the sun.

Akaashi glanced towards them quietly, content to allow his mate to rest while he finished preparing breakfast for them, tossing the veggies and sausage in the skillet before checking on the toast and eggs. Once everything was ready, he placed the various dishes atop the kitchen table then padded towards the playpen, stepping over the gate as well and taking a seat at Kuroo's side, the Alpha blinking up at him with a warm smile.

"Hey baby." Kuroo crooned softly, reaching out and petting over the omega's thigh gently. "You sleep okay? Did Skye sleep through most of the night?"

Akaashi hummed and nodded, watching over the rambunctious pup nearby, listening to his little growls and barks as he played with his toys, Akaashi's eyes drifting to Kuroo once again.

"He was quiet for the most part. He woke up early this morning, and slept in bed with me for a few hours before we decided to get up." Akaashi reached out to smooth his palm over his Alpha's chest. "He curled up against your pillow when he finally drifted off. Your scent calmed him down enough to sleep."

Kuroo's expression softened at that, and he chuckled while tugging Akaashi down to rest against him, carding his fingers through the omega's soft, dark hair. "Good. I'm glad you were able to rest." He pushed up from the carpet just enough that he could give Akaashi a kiss before relaxing again, humming thoughtfully and looking over at Skye before returning his gaze to Akaashi with an impish grin. "So?"

Akaashi tilted his head slightly, trying to determine what Kuroo was asking. "So…?"

The Alpha held Akaashi's gaze, a deep croon resonating through his chest as he searched his mate's deep blue eyes. "Are you ready to make another one?"

Akaashi's brow arched and he laughed brightly, shaking his head and swatting at Kuroo's chest, letting out an affectionate sigh while leaning down to claim his Alpha's lips.

"You're so eager, Tetsu!" He rubbed at the curve of the dark Alpha's ear, watching his expressions calmly. "What about our bonding ceremony?"

"I'd love to see you carrying our pups while promising my life to you." Kuroo whispered softly, searching Akaashi's eyes, petting over his tummy in slow, heavy passes. "Just imagining you in ceremonial garb with a baby bump gets me all riled up-"

Akaashi sighed and cut him off with a kiss, Kuroo chuckling against his lips and tugging him closer until Akaashi was sitting on top of him, the Alpha grinding up against him slowly, allowing the omega to feel his semi. Knowing his mate was aroused simply at the thought of him carrying pups again sent pleasant little shivers coursing up Akaashi's spine, his crux fluttering and clenching down around nothing. His core twisted and ached with want, and he was certain his panties were already wet.

Kuroo could taste his slick in the air, groaning and nipping at his jaw, kissing the curve of his neck, kneading at Akaashi's hips gently. Akaashi bit his lip, pulling back so he could meet Kuroo's eyes, then with a creeping blush highlighting his fair skin he gingerly nodded.

"Alright. Let's give Skye a sibling. Let's have another baby."

Kuroo's grin lit up his entire face, half in disbelief, half in pure excitement, the Alpha unable to contain his joy. "You're sure?" He asked, needing to be certain. "That's really what you want? You're ready to carry another one already?"

Akaashi bit his lip, blushing brightly and nodding, leaning closer to kiss Kuroo's lips. "I've been thinking about it more and more recently. Koushi has been trying to have a baby with Daichi these past several weeks, and Shouyou will be trying with Koutarou and Kenma on their idyll…"

Kuroo nodded, blushing as well, nosing Akaashi gently and searching his eyes. "Yeah, yeah it feels right doesn't it? Our packmates are trying for pups as well." He grinned impishly, a mischievous gleam in his eyes. "It makes me want to have pups with you too, even more so than I usually do! It's almost as if there's something in the air…"

Akaashi bit his bottom lip, nodding and tugging Kuroo closer, the Alpha purring deeply as he started kissing down Akaashi's throat. "Koushi and I were talking about that actually, how common it is for omegas in packs to synchronize their heats, and typically carry puppies at the same time." He traced along the curve of Kuroo's strong jaw, sighing pleasantly as his Alpha doted upon him. "Skye and Rue already share a birthday. It wouldn't be a surprise if Koushi and I were to have pups around the same time again, especially with the way all of us have been feeling lately."

He let out a pleased little sigh, a teasing smile turning up the corners of his lips.

"We've both had that feeling, that instinct that our Alphas are eager to breed, despite not being in heat." He arched against Kuroo, threading his fingers through his mate's dark hair and offering him a kiss. "Do you think your rut might be aligning with Daichi and Koutarou's? Have you considered the possibility?"

Kuroo hummed against Akaashi's pulse, shrugging lightly. "It seems possible." He pulled back a bit, meeting Akaashi's eyes. "Does it feel like my approaching rut is pushing you into an early heat?"

Akaashi considered for a moment, one of his ears twitching lightly, but in the end he simply shrugged as well, giggling. "I'm not sure. I definitely feel something. It's hard to put a name to it. Whatever it is-" He rocked his hips down against Kuroo's, letting his Alpha feel the curve of his cock hidden beneath his leggings, and the heat pooling between his legs, "-it makes me want to submit to you. It makes me want to give in to you, completely."

Kuroo crooned deeply, holding Akaashi's hips and rutting up against him in slow rolls, nipping at his shoulder lightly before lifting him and quickly getting to his feet. He scooped Akaashi up without hesitation, the omega clinging to his shoulders and laughing excitedly as his Alpha carried him over the baby-gate and towards the couch nearby. He set Akaashi back on his feet, the pair tugging the blankets and pillows from atop the cushions and piling them across the floor, making a makeshift nest next to the playpen so they could both keep an eye on their son.

Akaashi was already stripping out of his clothing, unbuttoning his blouse and shrugging the light fabric off of his shoulders while Kuroo watched him hungrily, the Alpha tugging his shirt off overhead and shoving down his jeans, stepping closer to kiss Akaashi while smoothing his warm palms up the omega's sides. He picked him up and cradled the omega against him while kneeling down against the pillows, lapping at the scar marking Akaashi's shoulder as the omega keened softly and lifted his hips, Kuroo tugging down his leggings and panties all at once, quickly burying himself between Akaashi's plush thighs.

Akaashi gasped and arched his back, rocking his hips against his Alpha's mouth as Kuroo explored him eagerly with his tongue. Akaashi closed his eyes briefly, pressing a hand over the back of his mouth and moaning sweetly before glancing over to check on Skye. The pup was playing as he had been before, uninterested in whatever activities his parents were currently up to, the omega watching him for a moment longer before returning his attention to the Alpha doting upon him, his toes curling against the air as Kuroo lapped at his cock.

"Breed me, Alpha." Akaashi whispered, Kuroo growling softly as he took him into the back of his throat. "Breed me, Tetsurou. I want to feel your spurs~"

"Fuck-" Came Kuroo's muffled reply, the Alpha breathing against the curve of his hip heavily before quickly ascending his body, gripping his legs and splaying him wide while pressing close for a kiss, his cock sliding into Akaashi all at once, the omega letting out a sharp yelp that faded into a heated whine. He bucked his hips quickly, jerking Akaashi against his swelling knot with his movements, the omega whining needily and curling his toes against the air tightly before tossing his head back and crying out loudly, begging sweetly for more.

Kuroo gave it to him without hesitation, thrusting in roughly with sharp, wet slaps. It only took a few deep thrusts for his knot to pop inside and lock them together, Akaashi gasping and clenching down around his knot while cumming violently, his clit and cock releasing simultaneously and coating their stomachs with hot bursts of cum.

"Good boy~" Kuroo teased against Akaashi's throat, nipping at their bondmark and jerking Akaashi shallowly against his knot, "That's my good breeder, Keiji. I can feel you milking my cock. You want my spurs, baby? You want me to fill you with pups?"

Akaashi yipped and nodded quickly, his whole body trembling as he clenched down hard around Kuroo's knot, coaxing his Alpha towards the edge, his nails biting into Kuroo's shoulders and scratching sharply down the length of his back. Kuroo moaned out deeply at the stinging sensation, giving a few quick bucks of his hips before he climaxed as well, growling and biting down on Akaashi's shoulder roughly, threatening to break skin, the omega squealing excitedly at the sensation of being filled. Kuroo's knot started releasing his spurs immediately after, Akaashi panting heavily and moaning while tightening his hold on Kuroo's dark hair, the Alpha lapping over the teeth marks he'd left behind and kissing at Akaashi's throat apologetically, the omega humming quietly and tilting his face to give Kuroo a kiss.

"Love you." Akaashi whispered, still breathless from cumming. "You feel so good inside me, Tetsurou. It feels so good when you're seeding me…"

"You feel amazing clenching around me like this, Keiji." Kuroo whispered back, praising the omega in turn and peppering his face with soft kisses, "My sweet breeder, you like being good for me don't you baby? You want me to give you more of my spurs?"

Akaashi nodded, whining softly as Kuroo canted his hips in a slow, gentle rhythm, pressing his cockhead deeper into Akaashi's cervix and groaning as his knot steadily released his spurs, the omega and Alpha clinging to one another tightly as their bodies moved as one to create a new life.

Skye was babbling to himself on the other side of the playpen, chewing on one of his teething toys, his bright blue eyes transfixed on the sunlight pouring down through the skylights.

-x-x-x-

Hinata had been trying his best not to feel too anxious as the day went on, but now that sunset was falling over the islands he was struggling not to let his nervousness show, Kozume and Bokuto very aware of the omega's mild distress. They did what they could to ease his anxieties, talking him through how the evening would go, reassuring him they could leave at any time if something went wrong. Hinata knew they were right, he knew that his bondmates would never purposefully distress him, and Kozume wouldn't be upset if they left dinner early. Hinata had been feeling a little off since that morning, once he'd fully returned to his senses and tried to recall the details of the night before.

It had been painful, more painful than he had imagined it would be, but when Bokuto had commanded him suddenly and forced him into submission he'd felt pleasure unlike anything he'd ever known. It was the first time his Alpha had commanded him since they bonded. He had heard stories of what it was like, for an omega to be commanded by the Alpha they were marked by, but whatever he had previously imagined was far from reality. It was more intense, more deep and fulfilling than anything Hinata had ever dreamed of. He wanted to feel that again, he wanted to be commanded by his mate, by the Alpha he trusted and loved.

He reached down and smoothed his palm over the slight bump below his navel, where he could feel Bokuto's spurs nestled inside of him.

After dinner, once they were alone together in their suite, he wanted his mates to breed him again. He wanted to experience that breathtaking, mind-numbing submission. He also wanted to grow accustomed to Bokuto breeding him, so that one day the Alpha wouldn't have to push his pain away by force. He wanted to condition his body to accept his mate's barbs. He longed for the day his unconscious tension and lingering fears would subside, and his body would simply open up and accept everything Bokuto had to offer. He knew Bokuto and Kozume wanted that too, especially knowing how much Hinata wanted pups.

Kozume's hand on his arm drew Hinata's attention, the omega perking his ears up and meeting the beta's eyes, Kozume watching him with a warm, gentle smile.

"Shouyou? We're here."

Hinata glanced up across the water, his eyes widening as their charter boat approached a large, elaborate pier illuminated with paper lanterns and floral arrangements. There were several guests already settled here and there along the length of the beach, laughter audible as they sat together and shared their meals, waiters walking here and there with trays of sparkling glasses, ensuring the lounging guests had everything they needed to enjoy their stay.

"It's beautiful." Bokuto murmured, Hinata pressing closer against his side, smiling and humming approvingly.

"The restaurant looks like it's right on the edge of the beach!" He gestured towards the brightly lit veranda as he spoke, happy laughter bubbling up inside of him, pushing back his nervousness if only for a moment. "Look at that grove of palm trees along the far side! I've never seen palms that arched so high before! There are so many lanterns strung up between them!"

Kozume smiled and nodded, holding Hinata around his waist and glancing over to meet Bokuto's eyes, the Alpha smiling down at them and petting along the curve of Hinata's spine while crooning softly. "I overheard some guests saying there's a lantern festival happening during the full moon this week. I'm sure we can figure out the details on how to attend, if you want to?"

Hinata looked up at him with wide eyes, smiling brightly and nodding. "Oh wow, really? Yeah that sounds amazing! I'd really like to go!"

"Alright, Shouyou." Kozume agreed, nodding and leaning closer to kiss the omega's cheek. "In the meantime, let's try to find my mother before she considers us late. She's a stickler for punctuality. I'm hoping we catch her in a good mood."

Hinata laughed and nodded, squeezing Kozume's fingers tightly and allowing the beta to help him off of the boat and onto the pier, Bokuto disembarking after them. They walked along the sun-worn wood before stepping across the sand towards the restaurant, orchestral music drifting from the open windows, echoing merrily through the billowing canopies.

There were several colorful macaws roosting on the ledge of the ornate archway leading into the interior lounge, Hinata pointing to them excitedly before continuing on. Inside the restaurant there was a large pool in the center of the main room, a waterfall cascading down a series of stone tablets and ending in a cluster of lilies and lotus flowers, multicolored koi swimming lazily in the shadows cast along the bottom of the pool.

Kozume glanced around the lounge, perking his ears up when he spotted the person he was looking for, taking the lead and guiding Hinata and Bokuto towards the waiting table, an eloquent woman wrapped in a sari standing from the table to greet them.

"Kenma." She spoke softly, Kozume reaching out to embrace her, Hinata watching their exchange with a shy smile, dipping his ears back slightly once her gaze fell on him.

"This is Shouyou." Kozume introduced calmly, taking a step back and beckoning Hinata closer, the omega offering her a bright smile and laughing nervously, unsure of how formally he should greet her.

"It's nice to meet you." He said breathlessly, Kozume watching him quietly and petting along his side, Bokuto taking a step forward and offering his hand to her with a smile.

"This is Koutarou." Kozume added as she took the Alpha's hand, Bokuto's tone calm and deep.

"We've heard a lot about you. It's very nice to meet you, ma'am."

Bokuto was still grinning as he pulled back his hand, glancing down at his mates briefly before looking towards the table nearby. It appeared that Kozume's mother had already opened a bottle of white wine, and her glass was close to being empty. He ducked his ears back a bit, wondering how long she had been waiting for the three of them to arrive, his gaze returning to her with polite curiosity.

She evaluated them for a moment longer before letting out a quiet hum and returning to her seat, Kozume taking a seat beside her and gesturing for Hinata and Bokuto to sit across from them, Hinata settling down opposite of Kozume's mother and offering her another shy smile.

She was watching Hinata quietly, one of her ears twitching lightly as she reached for her wine glass, speaking to Kozume casually. "You're enjoying your stay thus far?"

"Very much so." Kozume replied, taking a moment to assess the atmosphere before reaching out and retrieving the bottle from the center of the table, pouring a little for Hinata and Bokuto before pouring for himself. He offered to pour for his mother as well as she set her glass on the tablecloth between them, taking time to carefully fill her glass half-way before setting the bottle aside once more. She watched his movements quietly, humming softly and lifting her refreshed glass, her fingernails tracing over the fine details of the patterned glass before she finally spoke.

"I'm certain that Kenma has already divulged certain assumptions as to why I've asked you here tonight."

Hinata dipped his ears back slightly, glancing towards Kozume while reaching over to take Bokuto's hand, the Alpha smoothing his thumb across his knuckles and squeezing his fingers lightly beneath the table, waiting to hear what Kozume's mother might say.

She swirled the wine in her glass slowly, allowing it to aerate before taking a small sip, setting the glass aside and tapping her nails along the stem briefly before withdrawing, her eyes never leaving Hinata as she continued.

"Kenma tells me that you are eager to begin trying to start a family together?"

Hinata blinked in surprise, arching his brow a little and letting out a soft peal of nervous laughter, his grip on Bokuto's fingers tightening. "Yes…?"

She blinked slowly, pausing as if waiting for him to continue, but Hinata wasn't certain what she wanted him to say. He swallowed thickly, glancing to Kozume for help, and the beta turned towards his mother slightly, opening his mouth to speak.

She lifted her hand, her eyes still trained on Hinata, the omega ducking his ears back further as he watched her interaction with Kozume.

"I would like to hear this from you directly," She stated calmly, "as you will be the omega who will carry my grandchildren, should you and Kenma successfully create pups."

Hinata watched her carefully, trying to get a read on her expressions, on her tone of voice, but everything about her was calm and neutral. He didn't know if she was excited about the prospect, or annoyed, or if she disapproved entirely. He bit at his lip nervously, exhaling quietly and holding Bokuto's hand tightly as he hesitantly asked, "I'm sorry, I guess I'm not sure what it is exactly you want me to say?"

Kozume's mother hummed thoughtfully, tilting her head slightly to the side as she evaluated him. She blinked slowly, taking a moment to consider what she wanted to say, then asked casually, "You are aware that Kenma comes from money?"

Kozume exhaled softly, glancing towards Bokuto with a quiet gaze, the Alpha holding his eyes for a moment before returning his attention to Kozume's mother, petting over the back of Hinata's hand soothingly, a soft croon barely audible in the back of his throat.

"Yes." Hinata replied quietly, "Yes, I know that."

"You are also aware that now that you are officially bonded, his wealth is now yours?" She paused until Hinata nodded, then continued in that same even tone. "You understand that you will inherit his family crest, his title and honoraries as his omega? That you will be integrated into our family, as well as whatever children Kenma sires with you?"

"We haven't discussed that yet." Kozume interrupted, his mother glancing towards him finally, the beta's brow pinched as he let out a soft sigh. "We've only just bonded, mother. I haven't begun to discuss any of the details of our marriage-"

"These are simple duties to assume as your omega, Kenma." She interrupted, frowning a little as she held his eyes. "You should have discussed this before committing to a lifebond. There are certain expectations that need to be met, promises that need to be fulfilled-"

"What are you talking about?" Bokuto asked, his brow arched as well. "What is it exactly that you're expecting Shouyou to do now that he and Kenma are bonded?"

Kozume's mother let out a heavy sigh, shaking her head, picking up her wine glass once more. She took a sip, quiet for several long moments before meeting Bokuto's eyes, gesturing towards Hinata lightly. "In exchange for equal partnership in his name and wealth, it is expected that the omega of such a partnership produces a family heir. A child to maintain the family line, and inherit whatever wealth will subsequently be handed down once they're of age to succeed the line."

"It's an archaic tradition," Kozume sighed quietly, his eyes narrowing a bit. "If we held such traditions in their full aspects, you and father never would have bonded to begin with. You're not an omega-"

"You are correct. I am not an omega, and so your father has chosen to commit adultery and left me for one instead, forging a new life for himself with her. He is working diligently on creating new heirs, splicing an entirely new bough of the family tree." She narrowed her eyes as well, watching her son with a stern expression. "Had you come to me, and spoken to me about this beforehand, instead of jumping into a lifebond-"

"I didn't jump into anything." Kozume interrupted quietly, his tone straining to remain calm. "Bonding with Shouyou and Koutarou was my decision. I care for them more than anything, I love them deeply and honestly. Don't make light of my feelings. You know nothing about either of them, you barely know me."

She was quiet at that, Bokuto glancing between them worriedly before looking down at Hinata, squeezing his hand tightly, the omega beside him trembling and watching their exchange with wide eyes.

Kozume's mother was quiet for several long, tense moments, then she let out a soft breath of laughter, shaking her head before nodding lightly. "You're right. I barely know you now. Perhaps that is my fault in the end. Regardless, what matters now is how you will handle your lifebond with your new mates." She looked to Hinata again, perking her ears towards the trembling omega. She hesitated a moment, then tapped her nails against the curve of her glass, asking in a quiet, even tone. "Do you love my son, Shouyou?"

Hinata's ears ducked back slightly before tilting towards her voice, his grip on Bokuto's fingers unwavering as he replied softly, "I love Kenma with all of my heart."

"You wish to have pups with him?" She asked, searching his honey-brown eyes.

Hinata looked to Kozume, thinking for a moment before nodding, adding gently, "If that's what he wants."

Kozume understood Hinata's hesitation, speaking up before his mother could ask another question. "We have openly discussed Koutarou taking on full responsibility as Shouyou's sire. With that being said, regardless if Shouyou's pups are genetically mine or Koutarou's, I will accept them as my own." He held his mother's eyes, his gaze steadfast and true. "We are all bonded equally, all three of us. Whatever children are created within our bond are both mine and Koutarou's. That decision is final, and not up for discussion."

Kozume's mother watched her son with a little frown for a few moments longer before nodding. "If that's your final decision, I will not argue with you on the matter."

"Thank you." Kozume replied softly, his expressions relaxing a bit, and she watched him quietly for a few long moments before her eyes fell on Bokuto next.

"The pups you create will one day inherit everything that belongs to Kenma. Until that day comes, you and Shouyou will both be held responsible for handling equal shares of Kenma's inheritance; including property, stocks, and various other finances." She folded her hands against the tablecloth, pausing for a moment to take a breath before continuing once more. "One day, when I eventually fade from this life, my ownership rights to our half of the family business will pass on to Kenma, and subsequently the two of you." Her eyes drifted from Bokuto to Hinata, focusing on the omega watching her while nodding lightly. "You need to seriously consider what the three of you will do with everything that is being handed to you. Do not dare to heedlessly squander our family's hard-earned fortune, and do not for a moment forget the trust that Kenma has for both of you, to let you have such a privileged place in his life."

She tightened her grip against the tablecloth, her breath hitching for only a moment before evening out again.

"My biggest regret is giving my love and trust to the wrong person, and wasting so much of my life dedicated to a lie." She looked from Hinata to Bokuto, her eyes gradually settling on Kozume again. "I pray that the three of you will find happiness together, that the feelings you share will never fade, and that your children will be healthy, whenever you choose to bring life into this world."

"Omma." Kozume murmured softly, reaching over and taking her hand, squeezing her fingers lightly. She smiled and shifted to pat the back of his hand lightly, squeezing his fingers back as well, then cleared her throat softly and turned towards the waiter that approached, ordering a series of appetizers for the table before returning her gaze to her son.

"Now then." She said gently, a little smile teasing across her lips. "Tell me about your packmates, your engagement and your bonding ceremony? Tell me about your life in the city, tell me everything there is to know."

Hinata watched them quietly, feeling the tension in the atmosphere fading away, the omega looking up and catching his Alpha's eyes, Bokuto smiling and crooning to him softly.

It hadn't been what he had expected, meeting Kozume's mother for the first time, but it seemed that she cared about all of them in her own way, and though she had suffered through a broken heart and a messy divorce, she was still open to the idea of her son finding true love.

Hinata was determined not to disappoint her. He could already tell from the way she smiled at Kozume as he spoke that she would be a gentle, caring grandmother to their pups.
