Plot: Hinata experiences his first heat with his bondmates.
Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics
Ch 27: Ambience
That strange feeling Hinata had experienced since rising from submission the day before hadn't truly faded away. If anything it churned slowly, ebbing and flowing along with the tide, the omega notably less energetic than he had been upon first arriving at the islands.
Bokuto was concerned of course, worried he may have hurt Hinata worse than any of them had originally realized, the fingerprint bruises along his thighs and hips telltale reminders of the night they had shared together, when Bokuto had seeded him for the first time.
Kozume soothed both of his mates gently, offering Hinata warm tea and drawing a hot bath to allow the omega to soak while speaking quietly with Bokuto, reassuring the Alpha that he hadn't done anything wrong. Hinata's body would need time to adjust to changing hormone levels now that his implant had been removed and his body was trying to return to its natural heat cycle. Lethargy, nausea, cramping, and loss of appetite were all common side effects of having such an implant removed, and though Hinata's arm was almost fully healed it seemed he needed to take things slower than expected now that his body was starting to adjust.
Their third day on the island was spent relaxing around the suite, lounging in the shade sharing fruits and napping together off and on, Kozume reading a book he had brought along with him while Bokuto curled up with Hinata in the omega's makeshift nest. Hinata was restless, complaining of stomach pains now and then as the afternoon went on, but eventually his cramping subsided into something more tolerable, and by evening he was ready to venture out and enjoy the beach again.
With his arm healed enough to no longer need any bandages, Hinata excitedly ran across the sands towards the rolling surf, laughing happily and jumping into the deeper waters beyond the shallows, Bokuto chuckling heartily and diving in after him.
Kozume was content to sit on the sand with his book, a large sunhat casting a wide shadow around his frame, the beta glancing up towards the sky now and then to gauge the time, humming thoughtfully before reaching for his phone, intent on checking in with Akaashi. The omega knew well what Hinata was going through, and Kozume thought it might be best to get a second opinion on how Hinata was reacting to having his implant removed. While he wanted his mate to enjoy himself on their idyll, he also didn't want him to accidentally overexert himself if he should be resting instead of playing out in the ocean with Bokuto.
He reclined back against the sand, his fingers sinking into the warm, golden waves surrounding him, the beta's ears perking up as he waited patiently for Akaashi to answer, the omega's voice greeting his ears a few moments later.
"Kenma, how are you?"
"I'm well Keiji, thank you for asking." He smiled and cast his eyes across the length of the beach, adding softly, "I was wondering if you might give me some advice on Shouyou? He's been acting rather off today, and I'm concerned that he may be showing symptoms related to having his implant removed?"
Akaashi made a soft sound of understanding, "What are his symptoms?"
"He's been complaining of stomach pains, which have also resulted in nausea and lack of appetite." Kozume threaded sand through his fingers, drawing patterns across the surface absently as he spoke. "He's both restless and lethargic, he was resting off and on for most of the day until about an hour ago, when he decided he wanted to go swimming before sunset."
"Poor dear. He probably feels as if he's wasting the day if not out enjoying the islands with you and Koutarou." Akaashi sighed quietly, pausing for a moment to exchange a few words with Kuroo before returning to Kozume once more. "Tetsurou was asking if the three of you have tried for pups yet since starting your idyll?"
Kozume smiled to himself, nodding and letting out a quiet sigh, "Yes we have. We tried the first night we were here." He glanced up towards the sky, adding quietly, "Last night, after having dinner with my mother, we came back to the suite rather late and simply fell asleep. Hinata wasn't complaining of any stomach pains then, but I did notice he didn't eat much at dinner. I assumed at the time it was simply a result of anxiety from being introduced to my mother."
Akaashi considered for a moment before replying, "It's possible he has been feeling off since that first night. If that's the case, his body may be responding to coupling with Koutarou. I would suggest keeping a close eye on him for the remainder of the week, Kenma. It's possible that being intimate with Koutarou so soon after having his implant removed will push Shouyou's body into a faux heat." He paused briefly, exchanging words with Kuroo again before asking, "Has Kou shown any signs of falling into an early rut? Tetsu's rut is tentatively scheduled to start this weekend. It wouldn't be surprising if it's almost time for Koutarou's rut to begin too."
Kozume's eyes widened a bit, the beta looking out towards the ocean, watching the omega and Alpha playing together in the surf. "You think their ruts are synchronizing?"
Akaashi hummed softly. "We can't be entirely sure, but given all the factors it would seem plausible. My cycle is almost always around the same time as Koushi's. It feels as though all of our cycles may be aligning now that we've been packmates for an extended length of time."
Kozume nodded, going over the timeframe in his mind. It would make sense, and it definitely wasn't unheard of. He sighed heavily and nodded, a little smile turning up his lips. "Thank you, Keiji. I'll be sure to keep a close eye on them as it draws closer to the weekend. I'm certain Koutarou has been distracted with other things, but I'll ask him about his expected rut once he's back on dry land with Shouyou."
Akaashi let out a soft breath of laughter, clearly amused, Kuroo's voice audible in the background for a moment as he called out to Kozume, "Try not to worry about things too much, Kenma! Enjoy your idyll with your bondmates! You'll all be home with us soon."
Kozume closed his eyes, smiling and nodding while replying gently, "Thank you both. I'll check in with you later."
Akaashi's voice was soft and soothing, a purr harmonizing with his words. "Alright, Kenma. We'll talk to you later then."
Kozume lingered long enough to hear Akaashi disconnect before setting his phone aside, sighing quietly and returning his attention to his mates briefly before resuming his reading once more. His thoughts were filled with endless possibilities, one of the more immediate being Hinata falling into heat while still visiting the islands, and Bokuto's rut coming early in reaction to Hinata's heat. He closed his eyes, taking a deep breath then exhaling slowly, his fingers tracing along the spine of his book.
It was unlikely that his heat would come so soon after removing his implant, but there was that distinct possibility. Kozume couldn't shake that nagging feeling, as if there was something he was forgetting. He hummed softly, trying to clear his thoughts, listening to the sounds of his mates' laughter as they splashed one another in the shallows, the waves surrounding them rumbling quietly as they rolled along the golden beach.

Yamaguchi returned to the hospital after only a few hours of sleep, a quick shower, and a small breakfast, wanting to ensure he was able to spend as much time with his new charge as he possibly could. The nurse that had spoken with him the night before guided him back down the corridor to where the patient was resting, leaving Yamaguchi on his own once he had reassured her he would be alright.
He entered the room slowly, taking his time to call out to the patient in that same calm, even tone he had used before. He might not be able to fully hear Yamaguchi, but his tone and scent were unique, and hopefully the patient would be able to recognize him as the same stranger he had interacted with the previous night.
The pteropine perked his ears towards Yamaguchi, listening to his approach with wandering eyes, tilting one of his tall ears to the side briefly before calling out, "You're the one from before, aren't you? From last night?"
Yamaguchi smiled, calling out as well as he reached out to him, offering his hand, "That's right. My name is Tadashi." He took the other beta's hand gently, smoothing his fingers across his knuckles and noticing for the first time the pteropine's clawed pinkies, as well as the large webbings stretching from his wrist along the entire length of his arm, marveling at the appearance of his unbound wings. The pteropine was listening to him silently, his ears twitching now and then as he turned over his hand and grasped Yamaguchi's fingers, the betas lingering side by side for a moment longer before Yamaguchi opted to sit down beside him.
The patient was quiet for a long moment before letting out a soft sigh, his eyes drifting to the side as he asked, "They told you to try to talk to me?"
Yamaguchi considered for a moment before responding. "They told me you might need a friend."
The pteropine frowned a little, leaning a little closer, his voice strained as he asked Yamaguchi to repeat himself again. It seemed that he was still having difficulty hearing, despite the time that had elapsed since his recent surgery. Yamaguchi watched him with a sad little smile, petting across his knuckles again, thinking of what he wanted to do.
Yamaguchi carefully lifted their hands and placed the pteropine's fingers against his throat while leaning closer, enunciating slowly and clearly against the shell of his ear, "My name is Tadashi. What's your name?"
The other beta inhaled softly, his eyes widening a bit as he replied shakily, "I could hear you that time, I could hear you speaking to me." His fingers twitched against Yamaguchi's throat, his ears flicking lightly as he replied, "I don't...I don't know my name. The nurses, they call me Shy. I guess I said that a lot at first, right after they found me."
Yamaguchi nodded, focusing on the vibrations in the air as Shy spoke, listening to his tone while visualizing the words in his mind. He could hear some things with his cochlear, though trying to understand a conversation without lip-reading was a bit of a process. He rubbed along the other beta's wrist gently, his fingertips gliding against the soft curve of his webbing before he asked slowly, "The nurse who paired us together told me you had a brain injury that took both your sight and your hearing?"
Shy was quiet for a moment, then nodded, breathing shakily against Yamaguchi's ear. "They say that's why I can't remember anything. They say that's how I got this scar." He pulled back a bit, tapping at the edge of the scar cutting horizontally across his cheeks, over both eyes and the bridge of his nose. It was quite faded now, almost the same color as his skin tone, which meant it must have happened several years ago.
Yamaguchi thought to himself for a moment, frowning a little and arching his brow, leaning closer once more to ask gently, "You don't remember anything?"
Shy shook his head slowly, letting out a quiet sigh. "The first few years after they found me I was in and out of a medically induced coma. They weren't sure if I would ever recover enough to regain my senses. It was about three years ago now that I started showing signs of higher cognitive functions, and they slowly began weaning me off the ventilator and feeding tube." His hand fell a bit, trailing down Yamaguchi's throat to rest over his heartbeat. "I've had various surgeries since then to try to restore my hearing and eyesight. This most recent surgery took place about...two weeks ago?" His fingers curled against the fabric of Yamaguchi's shirt, his tone hitching a bit as he added quietly, "I think so anyway, I don't know for sure. Time is always muddled together for me, not being able to hear or see anything anymore."
Yamaguchi nodded slowly, humming for a moment before beginning to purr softly, gently tracing his fingers up the length of Shy's forearm and cupping his elbow gently. The other beta tensed slightly, but allowed Yamaguchi to pet along his arm, exhaling shakily and closing his eyes, his ears pivoting towards the soft rumbling sounds that Yamaguchi made.
He sat with Shy for a while, petting over his skin gently and allowing the other beta to grow accustomed to his presence, his scent and his warmth, before he pressed a little closer and asked gently, "I was hoping that we might become companions with time? I would like to be your friend, and help you with everything you're going through. Would it be alright if I kept coming to see you, and we spent some more time together?"
Shy ducked back his ears slightly before perking them again, his tone slightly strained as he asked, "Why would you want to do that? You don't know me. There's no reason for you to spend your time watching over me. We're strangers. It doesn't make any sense."
Yamaguchi turned his face slightly, nosing at the curve of Shy's jaw and smiling against his cheek. "I want to be friends with you for that exact reason. The nurse told me that you never let anyone get too close, that you distance yourself from everyone intentionally. You don't have to be alone, Shy. I want to help you through your recovery. I want to teach you sign, and help you learn braille, and one day be there to help you integrate back into a normal life." He pulled back a little, watching Shy's expressions carefully. "Don't you want to be free of this hospital bed, and step back out into the sunshine?"
"What's the point?" Shy asked, letting out a soft, dry laugh. "It isn't as if there's anyone waiting for me out there. Learning sign and braille, trying to find my way around a world I don't remember, what's the point of any of that?" He shook his head, his brow pinched and his fists clenching tightly. "It's meaningless to hope for a life outside of these walls. I'll never be independent, I'll never go back to living a normal life. I have nothing. Absolutely nothing. This place is the only reality I've ever known."
Yamaguchi watched him quietly, listening patiently, trying to find words of comfort or something that might inspire hope. He squeezed Shy's hand gently, nosing at his cheek and offering simply, "One step at a time. This isn't something that will happen overnight, we both know that. Still, it has been proven time and time again that having someone there for you after surgery will boost your odds of recovery and healing tenfold, and I would be honored to have the privilege of helping you, if you will allow me to."
"So I'm just a charity case to you?" Shy asked, withdrawing a bit, scoffing quietly as his brow arched. "You want to play the role of my knight in shining armor? There to hold my hand while I recover from however many more surgeries there might be after this?"
As Shy pulled away from him with a frown Yamaguchi realized what had caused their sudden misunderstanding, taking one of Shy's hands and carefully guiding it up to the side of his skull, just behind his ear. He pressed his fingers against Shy's, finding the edge of his implant and drawing back a bit to allow the other beta to trace his fingertips along the curve of that smooth disc lightly.
Shy inhaled softly, his ears dipping back a bit, and he hesitated for a moment before asking, "You lost your hearing too?"
Yamaguchi hummed, gingerly drawing closer once again and speaking against the shell of Shy's ear, "I was little when it happened. I had a childhood illness that took my hearing from me. There were years when I was submerged in complete silence. When I was older, I was given the opportunity to have the implant surgery, and lucky after months of therapy and healing my senses somewhat returned to me. Now I can hear voices and music, I can differentiate between small sounds like doors opening and closing, and footsteps. Some things I still struggle with, it isn't a perfect fix, but it makes such a difference in my quality of life." He smoothed his hand over Shy's chest, purring soothingly while adding, "I want to be friends with you, Shy. I want to be there for you, to help you, to comfort you. No one should have to go through this alone."
Shy was quiet for a moment, his gaze dropping slightly, and then slowly he nodded, leaning a little closer, pressing his nose against the curve of Yamaguchi's ear. The freckled beta smiled to himself happily, letting out a relieved sigh, lacing their fingers together gently and squeezing, purring louder as he felt Shy squeezing his fingers back as well.

Kageyama stared out the window, his eyes on the clouds drifting by, listening to the recording he'd made of the song he was working on, pausing to notate changes he intended to make before resuming the playback once more. Shimizu was at the shoppe today, leaving Kageyama alone with his thoughts, the beta's mind wandering through memories of the life he had lived before, his bandmates, his boyfriend. He glanced to the side, his fingertips tracing along the worn edges of a notebook that was not his own. It had been Chai's, and inside those messy pages littered with random sketches and footnotes there was a song that Kageyama had never heard in its entirety, but Chai had written for him before he died.
He'd tried to remember the melody over the years that had passed, but he had only heard it twice before. Once over the phone, and once in person. It was beautiful, and heart-rending, and Kageyama wanted nothing more than to be able to hear his boyfriend's voice against his ear one last time.
He paused the recording, sliding off his headphones and blinking away tears, inhaling a shaky breath hinting on a sob before pushing that sadness away. He got out of bed, grabbed his hoodie and keys, and started walking towards the front door. He paused to lock up behind him before taking off down the street, heading in the opposite direction as Shimizu's flower shop. He didn't know where he was going, or what he was running from, but he took off without a second thought, Chai's distant laughter ringing in his ears.
"All meaningful songs are about someone you care about anyway, right?"
"You wrote that about someone you're close to?"
"Who do you and I both know that have the deepest, darkest ocean-blue eyes?"
"You're writing a song about me?"
"I write about what inspires me. Lately that's been a lot of you, Tobio. It's alright that I'm using you as my new muse?"
"Yeah."
Kageyama's chest burned. It twisted and ached, it choked him until he couldn't breathe.
"Is it okay if I write a song about you too?"
A car blared its horn just as a hand grabbed his forearm and jerked him backwards out of the street, Kageyama stumbling backwards and slamming into a stranger's chest roughly. He blinked quickly, his heart racing and his lungs fighting for air, sweat trickling down his brow and nape as he tried to sort through what was happening. He was in the middle of the city, the streets were wet and the skies were dark. Hours had passed by, hours he'd been trapped in his spiraling thoughts.
"Kageyama? Kageyama, answer me!"
He jerked his head up when he recognized the stranger's voice, realizing it was Atsumu who had pulled him out of the street, the Alpha watching over him worriedly, his brow arched with concern. He turned Kageyama around to face him slowly, rubbing at his upper arm and trying to calm his shaky breathing, "Hey. Hey, easy. Take a deep breath. Nice and slow. C'mon now, breathe with me."
Kageyama shivered and looked around the wet streets drizzled with sluggish grey rain, shivering as he slowly returned to himself, trying to even out his desperate breathing. He was dizzy, his throat too dry and his knees feeling weak. His legs and feet throbbed from running for hours without pause. He was on the verge of hyperventilating, or passing out, or both.
His stomach churned, his grip on Atsumu tightening. He was going to be sick.
Atsumu glanced around for a moment before guiding Kageyama towards an awning nearby, still watching him closely and rubbing at his arm soothingly, crooning soft and low in the back of his throat.
"What are you doing out here? You're not exactly dressed for running around in this kind of weather." He frowned a little, tilting his head slightly and evaluating the beta's disheveled appearance and apparent distress, Kageyama breathing in and out shakily while blinking slowly, still not responding.
Atsumu reached out to him carefully, carding his fingers through Kageyama's damp hair slowly, still crooning gently. He waited patiently for several long moments, but upon gleaning no response he made his decision, tugging the beta against his chest and wrapping his arms around him tightly, trying to share his warmth.
"You're alright now, you're okay. Everything's gonna be okay."
Kageyama turned to hide his face against Atsumu's shoulder, letting out a shaky sob and ducking his ears, clinging to the Alpha's jacket as Atsumu soothed him gently, the tawny Alpha glancing back towards the bar he'd been standing in front of before. His brother was still there, chatting back and forth with Ruby and Ta'lia, his twin sensing his gaze and glancing up to meet his eyes, Atsumu holding his gaze for a long moment before giving a little nod.
He returned his attention to Kageyama briefly before glancing towards an approaching taxi and hailing it with a wide wave and a shout, taking a step away from the curb and reaching for the door, ushering Kageyama inside. He gave the driver Kageyama's address and settled back against the worn seats, carding his fingers through Kageyama's hair and whispering to him gently, kissing his forehead and rubbing along his back in slow passes, crooning softly all the while.
Kageyama was still out of it as they reached the townhouse, Atsumu carefully searching through his pockets until he located the beta's keys. He opened the door quietly, kicking off his damp boots before scooping up Kageyama carefully and carrying him across the carpet, exploring the townhouse for the first time and eventually locating the bathroom.
He turned on the overhead fan and started the shower, opening the faucet with a soft squeak, checking the temperature twice to make sure it wasn't too hot before returning to Kageyama, methodically stripping him out of his wet clothing one layer at a time. Kageyama's skin was ice cold as his layers were peeled away, and Atsumu took precaution to check his body for bruises or other injuries before helping him step into the shower under the warm water, Kageyama shivering violently as he started crying again.
Atsumu's ears dipped back as he stood beside him, reaching around the edge of the shower curtain to hold his trembling hand, frowning worriedly while retrieving his phone from his pocket with his other hand and sending Osamu a quick text.
He waited patiently until Kageyama's skin began to warm before reaching forward and turning off the showerhead, grabbing a towel from the rack nearby and wrapping it around the shivering beta, helping him out of the tub. Atsumu was careful and slow with his movements, helping Kageyama dry off patiently and walking with him towards the closest bedroom, determining it was Kageyama's given the various instruments strewn about the floor.
He stepped closer to the messy bed, carefully clearing away the clutter scattered across the comforter before pulling back the blankets and sheets, Kageyama blinking down at his bed quietly before shifting forward to lay down, tugging one of his pillows against his chest.
Atsumu stripped out of his outer layers once Kageyama was settled, sliding out of his jacket and jeans and crawling into bed beside him, pressing up against his back and crooning softly while taking his hand, squeezing his fingers gently.
"I'll be right here, okay? I'm right here, so try to get some sleep."
Kageyama hiccupped softly, ducking his head and hiding his face against the pillow in his grasp, choking out miserably, "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"
"Shh…" Atsumu whispered, squeezing his fingers tightly. "You're okay now. You're okay."
Kageyama nodded miserably, curling in on himself and crying softly while Atsumu held him close, the Alpha breathing against his shoulder steadily, listening to Kageyama's broken sobs.
By the time Osamu arrived with Shimizu, Kageyama was just drifting off to sleep, exhausted from running around the city and sobbing his heart out afterwards. Atsumu didn't move from his position, simply glancing over his shoulder to meet eyes with his brother, smiling and giving him a reassuring little nod.
Shimizu watched them quietly, catching Atsumu's eyes and mouthing a silent thank you before stepping away from the door, closing it quietly behind them. She pressed a hand against her lips, stepping down the hall towards her bedroom, Osamu trailing quietly after. She slipped out of her heels with a soft sigh, padding over to the edge of her bed and sitting down quietly, Osamu joining her a moment later, offering the beta his hand once more.
"He'll be alright." Osamu said quietly, curling his fingers around Shimizu's as she squeezed his hand. "Atsumu is watching over him. Whatever he needs, Atsu will be happy to provide."
"I know that. I know. I just worry." She arched her brow, reaching up and wiping tears from the corners of her eyes before meeting the Alpha's concerned gaze. "Thank you so much for being there. I can't thank the two of you enough. He didn't reach out to me at all today, I had no idea anything was even wrong." She sniffed and glanced to the side, letting out a shaky breath. "There are times when he closes himself off from me, he distances himself purposefully. It's a defense mechanism, I know that, but still. Seeing him like this, it hurts."
Osamu nodded gingerly, reaching up and cupping her cheek, tilting her face towards his and searching her eyes. "Is there anything I can do?"
Shimizu cupped her hand over his, leaning into his palm, shrugging lightly and shaking her head. "Honestly I don't know."
Osamu nodded lightly, thinking to himself for a moment before asking, "Would you like for me to stay the night?"
Shimizu held his eyes, considering his offer for a moment, then her expression smoothed and she nodded lightly. "If you're certain that's alright?"
"It's more than alright. I'd love to." Osamu murmured gently, giving her a soft kiss, Shimizu smiling against his lips and humming quietly, her hand petting over the silver Alpha's strong chest.
Kageyama had been lucky that Atsumu had found him when he had. If Atsumu hadn't reached out to him then, Kageyama might still be running through the depths of the city, racing his demons along the rainy streets in the dark.

Hinata sat in the shallow water between his bondmates, Kozume trailing his hand through the warm saltwater and pawing at the foamy waves as they passed by. Hinata was happy he had finally decided to join them, watching Kozume's movements and giggling affectionately, biting his lip and splashing the beta playfully, Kozume growling teasingly as he leaned closer to capture Hinata's lips.
"Brat. I said I didn't want to get my hair wet, didn't I? Naughty pup."
Hinata giggled again, humming and tugging Kozume closer while reclining back against Bokuto, the Alpha twisting slightly to wrap his arms around them, watching them with an affectionate, heated gaze. He crooned softly, licking his lips as Kozume started purring, the beta pressing closer as they kissed against Bokuto's chest, muffling Hinata's soft moans with his mouth. Their kisses grew deeper and more earnest, Hinata gasping as Kozume slipped his fingers under his waistband and wrapped his fingers around Hinata's cock, the omega lifting himself up a bit to slide his shorts down his thighs, reaching out to palm Kozume's erection as well.
Bokuto blushed while watching them, inhaling against the salty air and groaning softly at the scent of Hinata's slick, glancing along the length of the beach to make sure they weren't being watched before reaching out and tugging up Hinata's hips, allowing the omega to take a seat in his lap.
Kozume pushed himself up onto his knees, shoving down his own shorts and baring himself to the omega before him, Hinata reaching out eagerly and wrapping his fingers around Kozume's length before quickly beginning to jerk his cock.
"Good boy, Sho…" Bokuto crooned against his ear, reaching between the omega's thighs and sliding his fingers inside his crux, fucking him slowly with two fingers. Kozume continued working his hand over Hinata's weeping cock quickly, moaning and canting his hips against Hinata's hand, effectively fucking his fist, the omega moaning sweetly and clenching around Bokuto's fingers while bouncing against his Alpha's lap.
"I want you inside~" Hinata panted softly against Kozume's lips, his tone sultry with desire. "I want you both inside of me~"
"You want us to fuck you, baby?" Kozume asked gently, licking into his mouth, sucking Hinata's tongue for a moment before lapping against the roof of his mouth. He moved his fingertips to the bump of Hinata's womb, rubbing his fingers back and forth against it, Hinata gasping and clenching around Bokuto's fingers tightly as he suddenly started to squirt.
Bokuto's eyes were wide, his pupils fat, dark saucers, the Alpha panting heavily at the overwhelming richness of it. The sweetness of Hinata's slick was far more pungent than it typically was, the omega whining and wriggling his hips down to try and take more of Bokuto's fingers inside, yipping softly as Kozume continued jerking his cock.
"Oh fuck I think he's starting his heat-" Bokuto managed, dipping down to bury his nose against Hinata's neck. "He smells so fucking good right now, his slick tastes so sweet, it's making me dizzy…"
Kozume pulled back slightly, watching Bokuto's expressions, noting the way his pupils were dilated and the drool starting to drip from the corner of his open mouth. Fuck, fuck Akaashi had been right. Hinata was falling into heat, and Bokuto was falling into rut alongside him. He had to do something; he had to get them both inside at least, but neither Hinata nor Bokuto looked as if they were intent on moving from one another anytime soon.
The beta moaned as Hinata kept jerking him quickly, arching against his chest for more kisses, licking into his mouth and whining in short little bursts while Bokuto nipped at his nape, working a third finger inside of him quickly. Kozume kissed Hinata back with a low moan, coaxing the omega closer to the edge, hoping that perhaps after cumming a second time his thoughts might be more clear.
As Hinata crested and came across his chest Bokuto suddenly shifted their positions, pushing Kozume and Hinata both down against the sand, tugging up the omega's hips and thrusting fully inside of him, Hinata squealing as he climaxed again. Kozume watched them with wide eyes, his legs hooked around Bokuto's thighs as the Alpha mounted Hinata and started bucking his hips quickly, wet slaps clearly audible above the sounds of the tide. Hinata was kissing at Kozume's throat and upper chest needily as he was fucked, his fingers still dutifully wrapped around the beta's straining cock, gasping sweetly and begging for more as Bokuto thoroughly took him apart.
Watching them like this, fucking just above him, it quickly sent Kozume over the edge. He cried out and kissed Hinata hotly as he came, the omega melting against him and arching his back just right to allow Bokuto's knot to fully slip inside, hot slick spilling down his trembling thighs. The Alpha above them lost all semblance of control in an instant, snarling and barking loudly, Hinata's toes digging into the sand as he cried out sharply, yipping against Kozume's mouth, his entire face flushed as Bokuto's barbs flared and his knot started releasing his spurs.
Kozume panted unevenly, watching them and kissing Hinata's lips gently. If there had been any pain this time, Hinata hadn't felt it, already slipping into submission as his Alpha released his heady scent and growled against his ear. Hinata's breath hitched at hearing his Alpha's vocalizations, the omega whining and mewling needily as Bokuto bit into his shoulder and they both started to cum. Kozume was covered with it, his own cum as well as Hinata and Bokuto's, along with copious amounts of slick that continued pouring down Hinata's thighs from his clenching crux, the beta trying to remember how to breathe as their entwining scents overwhelmed him.
He passed out briefly, and when he returned to his senses Hinata's face was buried against his neck, Bokuto thrusting into him roughly, the omega keening excitedly and rocking his hips back to meet each thrust, the sun setting low on the horizon. The beach was still warm, but there was a hint of chill in the air as night drew closer, Kozume trying his best to slip out from underneath them and try to coax at least Bokuto back to his senses, the Alpha growling as Kozume reaching up and threaded his fingers through his silver hair.
"Koutarou. Koutarou, can you hear me?"
The Alpha continued thrusting, Hinata screaming again as the Alpha forced in his knot and locked them in place, groaning deeply as the omega clenched down tightly around his cock, coaxing his knot to release more spurs. Kozume shivered as a fresh wave of hot cum spilled across his stomach and waist, dampening the upturned sand surrounding them, the beta wincing at the gritty sensation. He managed to scramble out from underneath them as Bokuto pulled back and shifted their positions, his knot popping free with a wet squelch as he turned Hinata over and pushed him down onto his back before lifting his hips again.
Kozume glanced around quickly, surveying either side of the beach, exhaling a relieved sigh to see there was no one else in sight. He took a few moments to tug up his shorts before kneeling down beside his mates carefully and trying to speak to Bokuto again. The Alpha growled deeply when Kozume tugged gently at one of his ears, speaking to him in a stern tone, "Koutarou, we need to take Shouyou inside. Do you understand me? We need to go inside!"
Bokuto didn't reply, ignoring him in favor of scenting the omega beneath him, but Kozume tugged his ear harder than before, growling and snapping his fangs, drawing the Alpha's full attention. Bokuto reacted instinctively, his hackles rising in response to the beta's growls, baring his fangs as he narrowed his eyes, taking a possessive, defensive stance over Hinata.
Kozume searched Bokuto's distant expression with a frown, then he drew back his hand and with an open palm slapped him soundly across the face.
The Alpha reacted immediately, wrenching free from Kozume's grasp and shoving him backwards across the sand roughly, Kozume letting out a startled cry as he tumbled into the water, sputtering as he pushed himself up quickly and tried to catch his breath.
Bokuto was watching him now with muddled awareness, blinking towards Kozume with wide eyes and ducking back his ears a bit, a red handprint already highlighting his cheek. "Kenma? Kenma, are you okay?"
"I'm fine!" Kozume exhaled irritably, returning to Bokuto's side as quickly as he could and tugging at his arm, gesturing towards the suite hurriedly. "We have to get you both inside. Now, Koutarou! Before you lose yourself to your rut again!"
Bokuto nodded sluggishly, trying to force his limbs to move as he fought against his instincts, growling softly as he scooped Hinata up into his arms and carried him across the beach, Kozume gathering up their discarded clothing along with his book and sunhat before quickly following after.
As soon as they were inside Kozume ushered them into the bathroom, rinsing them thoroughly to ensure they were no longer caked with cum and sand before sending them to bed. It didn't take long for Bokuto to return to the state he had been in before, enthusiastically giving all of himself to Hinata while the omega responded in kind, pleading for more desperately while offering himself up completely.
Kozume watched over them from the doorway with an exhausted smile, reclining against the doorframe and toweling at his damp hair. They were beautiful like this, entwined together in a messy bundle of pure, raw instinct, their unique physiologies as an Alpha and omega driving them to become one. It was something he would never fully understand as a beta, but he would be there for them in what ways he could as they endured their respective heats and ruts. It was the least he could do, to show how much he loved them.
Hinata's heat lasted a full week, Bokuto's rut coinciding for the first four days before fading into something manageable, much to Kozume's relief. Their idyll was subsequently extended by an entire week, so that by the time Hinata's heat started to fade they still had three days remaining to enjoy together before returning to the mainland.
It was everything they could have hoped for and more, sharing their idyll together, along with Hinata's first heat. It couldn't have been more perfect if they had planned for it. They'd created unforgettable memories together in paradise, and between the three of them they had succeeded in sparking a new life.
When Hinata visited the fertility clinic for his first appointment since returning from the islands, there wasn't a doubt in anyone's mind that he was pregnant.
Akaashi and Sugawara doted over him excitedly, Hinata still exhausted and sore from his week-long unexpected heat, but happy and content to be at home once more with his packmates.
Bokuto and Kozume were exhausted as well, Kuroo, Sawamura, and Iwaizumi watching over them dutifully as they rested and recovered. They took turns cooking dinner and handling household chores, hosting for the first several nights to ensure that the three bondmates had everything they needed to simply rest comfortably while eagerly waiting for Hinata's next visit to the clinic.
Six weeks passed by in a blur, and the doctor confirmed that Hinata was indeed pregnant with his first pup. They scheduled a follow-up appointment for the upcoming month, when an ultrasound would be able to reveal the very first images of their pup.

Kageyama perked his ears towards Hinata as the omega ascended the stairs leading to the balcony of the café, Atsumu trailing behind him with a happy smile, Osamu following along just after. The omega raced forward with a happy trill, wrapping his arms around Kageyama's neck and hugging him close, the beta letting out a soft breath of laughter and hugging him back carefully, perking his ears towards the twins as they settled down on the opposite side of the table, allowing Hinata to take the seat directly beside Kageyama.
"Oh my gosh! It feels like it's been ages since I've seen you!" Hinata gushed excitedly, squeezing Kageyama's hand and watching him with a bright blush. "I'm so sorry I haven't been able to spend any time with you sooner! Things have been a little hectic since returning from my idyll!" He laughed brightly and took Kageyama's hand, pressing it over his tummy, purring happily all the while. His belly was just starting to become a little rounder now, as the baby started to grow.
"How many weeks now?" Kageyama asked gently, smoothing his thumb over that small bump, petting just below Hinata's navel.
"Eight weeks! They're still super tiny!" Hinata shifted his hands, reaching for the menu and humming to himself merrily while deciding on what to order, Kageyama lingering where he was for a few moments longer before pulling his hand away and glancing towards the twins.
Atsumu and Osamu were speaking together quietly, the silver Alpha catching his eyes and giving him a little smile before Atsumu looked up as well, ginning and giving Kageyama a little wink. In the weeks that had passed since Hinata's idyll, Kageyama and Shimizu had begun to spend more and more time with the twin Alphas. He could now honestly say he trusted them both far more than he had originally anticipated he would.
After the night that Atsumu had pulled him out of the street, Kageyama had admitted to himself that he was beginning to develop feelings for the tawny Alpha. He wasn't certain if it was simply a crush, or something more substantial, but he was willing to tentatively explore his feelings with the Alpha to see where things might naturally lead as they continued growing closer.
His feelings for Hinata were much the same. The beta had genuinely missed him while he had been gone, and since his return to the city Kageyama had yearned to spend time with him again. The omega instilled a sense of calm within him unlike anyone else he knew. Hinata radiated warmth and light, happiness and serenity. Kageyama was happy that Hinata's mates had been able to give him the pup he had been longing for. He could hardly imagine what it would be like over the upcoming months, watching Hinata's body change as the baby continued to grow. Hinata was so petite, Kageyama worried for him, but he took comfort in the knowledge that whatever difficulties Hinata may go through carrying his baby to term, his partners and packmates would be right there beside him to help him through everything. He had so many loved ones surrounding him. Kageyama felt privileged to be one of them.
The waitress came to take their orders, and returned shortly after with their drinks and sweets; Hinata sipping at his strawberry lemonade and taking small bites of his fruit tart while laughing back and forth with Atsumu happily, the twins sharing a slice of coffee cake while sipping at their respective latte's. Kageyama was quiet for the most part, simply enjoying Hinata's closeness and laughter, taking bites of his cinnamon roll now and then and sipping at his cappuccino, sighing quietly to himself and looking up at the sky.
Hinata reached over and took his hand, drawing him back to the conversation, the twins watching him expectantly as well. He dipped his ears back lightly, meeting Hinata's eyes. "I'm sorry, what did you say?"
"Do you want to come home with us?" Hinata asked again, "We were planning on watching movies all afternoon!" Hinata looked up at the sky as well, his eyes trained on the massive grey clouds on the horizon. "It's supposed to be raining again off and on all day. Perfect movie weather!"
Kageyama considered for a moment before nodding, offering Hinata a little smile. "Yeah, I wouldn't mind hanging out and watching a movie."
Hinata smiled excitedly, squeezing his fingers and leaning closer to rest against Kageyama's side. "Oh good! I'm so excited to spend time with you again! I hope you like our choice of movies!" He giggled cheerily, perking his ears towards his partners while adding, "I think today we were planning on watching a few historical pieces? I absolutely adore period romances!"
Kageyama laughed softly, squeezing Hinata's fingers back gently. "I'm not too picky on movies, luckily enough."
"I think we've seen Pride and Prejudice a hundred times." Atsumu sighed, Osamu grinning and nodding while taking another bite of their cake.
"Jane Eyre, Ever After…"
"If you start to complain I'll have us watch Les Misérables and sing every song!" Hinata chided teasingly, the twins both making disgruntled sounds and scrunching up their faces. Hinata was laughing brightly, reaching across the table to swat at them, Atsumu grinning as he caught Hinata's hand, lacing their fingers with a playful croon, Osamu watching them both fondly.
"I've seen a few movies that I think might fit into that category." Kageyama said softly, Hinata perking his ears up and watching him with surprise, "Have you ever seen The Red Violin? Or The Pianist?"
Hinata tilted his head slightly, looking to the twins as Osamu made a soft sound of agreement, the silver Alpha arching his brow slightly while nodding his head. "Those would fall into historical drama pieces, certainly. Though I'll readily admit that Shouyou is a bit of a crybaby when it comes to dramas, so we try to steer clear of the heavier, darker screenplays."
"They sound interesting!" Hinata said curiously, glancing between Osamu and Kageyama with a little smile, "They're both about instruments?"
"Yes, and so much more than that." Kageyama replied, his tone gentle and soft. He reached for his cup, taking a sip and offering Hinata a smile, nodding to what Osamu had said. "Perhaps another time, if you're up for it. I think your idea sounds much better for today, honestly. I've never seen any of those movies you mentioned before."
Hinata's eyes were wide at that, inhaling a soft breath while leaning a little closer and asking incredulously, "None of them? Really? You've never seen Pride and Prejudice?"
"I've heard of the novel, but that's the extent of my knowledge." Kageyama admitted, reaching up to card his fingers through his dark hair, Hinata making an indignant sound and pawing at his arm playfully.
"I'll show you everything! All of the period pieces that are my absolute favorites!"
Kageyama smiled, watching him with an affectionate gaze, his heart fluttering as Hinata held his hand tightly, his laughter as bright as the sun.
-x-x-x-
Kageyama made note of Hinata's movie choices, knowing Shimizu would enjoy watching them together later. She had always been fond of romances.
Hinata was curled up beside him in the middle of the couch, Osamu at the omega's other side, Atsumu sitting beside Kageyama and reclining back against the arm of the couch. They were alone for a change, Kozume spending time with Yaku and Haiba while Bokuto spent the afternoon with Kuroo and Akaashi. Hinata was restless with excitement, watching Kageyama's reactions as the movie played on, the beta holding his hand and smiling down at him now and then, the omega purring softly and cuddling close against his side.
As the first movie ended, Osamu stood from the couch and padded into the kitchen to refresh their drinks, Atsumu yawning and stretched out against the arm of the couch before getting up as well, padding down the hall to visit the bathroom before the next movie began.
Kageyama was left alone with Hinata as the twins went their separate ways, the beta perking his ears up slightly as Hinata purred and nestled up under his arm, petting across his chest in lazy passes. His cheeks were warm and rosy, a soft little smile teasing up the corners of his lips as he simply basked in Kageyama's warmth, his eyes watching the credits slowly roll. Kageyama felt his chest twisting with that same familiar longing, simply holding the omega in his arms and sharing his scent and warmth, leaning a little closer to nuzzle between his ears, Hinata's purring growing louder at his affections.
Hinata tilted his face up to search Kageyama's eyes, kneading against his side gently. "I missed you." He said softly, holding Kageyama's dark eyes. "I thought about you a lot while we were at the beach. I really think you would have liked it there. The ocean was so warm! It felt so good napping on the sand, breathing in the fresh air. The sunrises and sunsets stretched across the entire sky, further than we could even see…"
Kageyama's brow arched lightly, searching Hinata's eyes. "You thought about me on your idyll? Really?"
Hinata blinked slowly, tilting his head slightly before a wide smile crossed his face, the omega giggling softly and pushing himself up, giving Kageyama a soft kiss.
"Of course I thought about you, silly! You thought about me too, didn't you? While I was gone?"
Kageyama blushed lightly, petting along Hinata's side and nodding, the omega smiling brightly and tilting his face up for another kiss. Kageyama dipped down to meet him this time, their lips moving together slowly, gently, sharing breath for a moment before pulling away. Hinata giggled softly, bubbly with giddy emotions and laughter, wrapping his arms around Kageyama's neck and nuzzling into his shoulder, purring softly while closing his eyes.
Atsumu watched them from a short distance away, glancing towards the kitchen and meeting Osamu's eyes, his brother giving him a wink and a smile before looking towards the couch once more. Kageyama was holding Hinata gently, rubbing along his back and nosing between his ears, breathing in his scent, closing his eyes and starting to purr softly as well.
Osamu brought fresh cups of tea to the coffee table, and Atsumu started the next movie, the opening theme drifting through the apartment cheerily as the twins settled down on either side of them once more. Hinata shared soft kisses with Kageyama now and then, the beta hesitant at first to do so while the twins were watching, but Hinata reassured him quietly, pushing back his doubts and fears.
By the end of the second movie they were both curled up against Atsumu's chest, the Alpha purring loudly and trailing his hand along Hinata's lower back while Kageyama rested his arms around the omega's small waist. Osamu watched them with a knowing smile, petting along Hinata's calf gently, squeezing teasingly now and then. He finished his tea with a quiet sigh, then stood from the couch once more, perking his ears towards the sound of rain pelting against the windows nearby, catching Atsumu's eyes before nodding towards their room.
"I think I'm going to nap for a bit. Wake me up before dinner?"
Atsumu made a soft sound of acknowledgement before returning his attention to the beta and omega resting against his chest, nosing into Kageyama's hair and breathing him in, petting along his side slowly while smiling against his ear.
The beta was half-asleep, Hinata's face tucked against his neck and shoulder, the omega half-asleep as well. The rain outside drummed steadily against the windows, soft thunder rumbling in the distance, Atsumu chuckling to himself softly while holding Kageyama and Hinata close, simply listening to the rainfall.
They rested together for a while longer before Hinata eventually stirred, the omega pushing himself up and blinking while glancing around the living room sleepily, searching for the missing Alpha. Atsumu reached up and pet along Hinata's arm soothingly, drawing his attention and nodding towards his bedroom, offering a little smile. He crooned softly before glancing down at Kageyama, the beta breathing quietly against his chest, still dozing lightly. Hinata smiled, his expression smoothing as he leaned closer to nuzzle Kageyama's cheek, pressing soft kisses along the curve of his jaw, Kageyama letting out a soft breath and opening his eyes slowly, stretching out against Atsumu's chest.
"Is everything alright?" He murmured, his voice deep with sleep.
Hinata hummed quietly, nodding and kissing Kageyama's jaw once more. "Let's curl up together in bed, it'll be more comfortable for all of us."
Kageyama frowned a little, making a soft sound of protest at the prospect of moving, inhaling softly as Atsumu chuckled against his shoulder and shifted slightly, Kageyama blushing and pushing away from his chest.
"Sorry…"
"It's alright." Atsumu reassured gently, keeping Kageyama close and nosing at his ear. "I like being your pillow. No need to apologize."
Kageyama's cheeks were rosy as he glanced between the Alpha and omega watching him, asking after a moment of hesitation, "You want to lay down together?"
Hinata hummed, nodding and smiling while getting to his feet. "Atsumu is great at cuddling! He always keeps me warm!"
The Alpha crooned softly, waiting until Kageyama was on his feet before standing up as well, Hinata taking the lead and tugging the beta towards his bedroom with a little smile. He pushed open the door slightly and slipped inside, pausing to strip off his hoodie before continuing forward, climbing into the nest of pillows and blankets in the center of the mattress before holding out his hand to Kageyama expectantly.
The beta hesitated, considering for a moment before tugging off his sweater and slipping out of his jeans, Hinata smiling and beckoning him closer as Kageyama crawled into the nest beside him, Atsumu watching them with an impish grin before climbing in after them.
They settled down together, Kageyama in the middle with Atsumu pressed against the curve of his back, kissing at his shoulder, Hinata curled up against his chest and purring loudly, twining his legs with Kageyama's while tangling his fingers in his dark, silky hair.
"Is this okay?" Hinata asked, holding Kageyama's eyes, the beta shivering pleasantly at the sensation of Hinata's nails tracing patterns against his scalp, closing his eyes and nodding.
Atsumu watched them with a little smile, kissing at Kageyama's nape and shoulder slowly, not with the intent to spark desire, but in a calm, reverent way. He wanted to show the beta he was precious, and deserving of worship. He wanted Kageyama to feel safe with them. He wanted the beta to feel at home in their arms.
Kageyama was a puddle of mush between them, fully relaxed against Atsumu's chest, purring softly as Hinata doted upon him, the omega smiling tenderly and leaning closer to give Kageyama soft kisses now and then. He pressed his lips to the beta's nose, to the high rise of his cheekbone, the gradual slant of his jaw. He kissed the corner of his lips, the curve of his throat, tailing down to the rise and fall of his chest, lingering against his steady heartbeat and memorizing the sound.
Hinata was still for a little while, enjoying the quiet calm he had crafted between them, before he reached up to cup Kageyama's face, the beta parting his eyes just enough to look over at the omega watching him. He searched Hinata's eyes, the light blush dusting his cheeks turning a pretty shade of red the longer he held those warm chocolate irises, and with a soft exhale he leaned forward and connected their lips again, kissing Hinata soft and slow.
It was different this time, intimate and sweet, Hinata blushing brightly and breathing shakily against Kageyama's mouth, his heart fluttering wildly against his chest. Kageyama smoothed his hand along the curve of Hinata's lower back, petting up the subtle notches of his spine gently, tilting his face just enough to kiss the omega a bit deeper as he pressed a little closer, a soft sound of want trapped in the back of Hinata's throat.
Atsumu crooned softly as they parted, Kageyama's breath hitching with embarrassed laughter as he tucked his face against the pillow, Hinata giggling merrily and nosing at the curve of his jaw. They didn't say anything, simply cuddling close and relaxing against one another again, Hinata purring happily as Kageyama rubbed his back gently. Atsumu sighed contentedly, his arm wrapped around both of them to share his natural warmth, the Alpha purring deeply as the rain continued pouring down upon the city, the drumming resonance barely audible over the calm quiet of the apartment.
Thanks for reading! More to come!
