-- THE NEXT WEEK --

"Rose, do you really think it's a good idea for me and Daichi to take today off of school? I mean Daichi hasn't started his rut yet..." Suga said shifting nervously next to the older woman

"It's starting today..." Rose said, "I can smell it..."

"But still-"

"Alpha Rut, Room 1" The feminine robotic voice sounded from Rose's watch as a pink light blinked

"What the heck is that?!" Suga was surprised

"I told you, each room has pheromone sensors, they alert me to abnormalities in the rooms..." Rose explained, "I was right... Daichi's rut just started..."

A smirk found its way to Rose's face as she slowly made eye contact with a blushing Suga, "You'd better get in there..."

Suga blushed deeply and gulped hard. ~Oh boy... here we go...~ Suga made his way over to his room. Steadying his breathing he quickly entered the room. When he closed the door he pressed his forehead into it, trying to clear his head. Daichi's scent was thick and heavy in the air. ~Come on Koushi... breathe...~ That was a mistake. Suga took a deep breathe and instantly fell to his knees. Glancing over his shoulder he noticed his alpha staring intensely at him. Suga tried to focus on just walking over to the bed but found that Daichi's scent alone was making him weak.

Finally he gave up, "Alpha please... help me..." Suga whimpered

Suga clearly saw Daichi's self control snap in that moment as the alpha all but lunged off the bed. Everything blurred and faded together. The next thing Daichi knew was that he was lying flat on his back looking up at the ceiling. His body hurt. He looked over to his side and saw a horrible rat's nest of silver hair poking out of the blanket. What happened? Daichi reached over and pulled his mate to his chest.

"Ow!" Suga yelped

"Koushi?" Daichi jumped releasing his omega instantly, "What happened?! Are you alright?!"

"I don't think I'll be walking for a while..." Suga didn't bother to look at Daichi as he burrowed further into the pillows and blanket

"It can't be as bad as other times right?" Daichi asked

"You were so damn rough this time!!" Suga practically yelled at the alpha finally facing him throwing the blanket off of his body

Daichi's eyes widened at the sight before him. Suga's body was covered in marks, some looked like hickeys, others looked like bruises, and one in particular looked like Daichi kept trying to mark and bond the omega over and over.

"I'm so sorry Koushi..." Daichi frowned with a blush on his face, "I never wanted to hurt you, I don't even remember what happened past you coming in the room."

"It's okay Dai... it was pretty amazing..." Suga blushed, "It just hurts so bad now... I don't think I can even feel my legs."

Ding.

"You two okay in there?" Rose's voice came from the intercom

Daichi walked over towards the door and pressed the button to respond.

"We're fin-" Suga started to say

"Suga's hurt..." Daichi said, Suga could hear the guilt heavy in the alpha's voice

"Okay, make yourselves decent before I come in..." Rose said

Daichi crawled off the bed to find his boxers, putting them on before he put Suga's on. The omega was jelly in the alpha's hands as Daichi slowly pulled the article of clothing up Suga's legs as to not hurt him.

Ding.

"You know you only need your underwear on right?" Rose said

Daichi went over and opened the door. Rose looked shocked for about half a second from the door suddenly opening, before entering the room. She spotted the omega still lying there on the bed.

"You really did a number on Suga huh Daichi?" Rose laughed

The alpha blushed and refused to meet her eyes. Rose walked over to the bed and smiled at Suga, "Can't move?"

Suga nodded, "You were serious when you said it'd be intense..."

"Well yeah!" Rose's airy laugh filled the room, "Don't worry, you're okay..."

"Are you sure?" Daichi asked as he walked over to them

"Yeah, this is mild..." Rose laughed, "I've had a charge that was sent to the hospital on account of her pelvis being shattered..."

Daichi and Suga's eyes blew wide.

"Seriously?!" Suga visibly shivered at the thought, "Well I'm glad I'm only like this..."

"You'll be able to walk by tomorrow, but for today you should just rest..." Rose gestured for Suga to flip onto his stomach. With some help from Daichi, Suga was able to do so.

"Damn Daichi..." Rose commented, "You should look at having your teeth filed down..."

Rose gestured to the bathroom, "Grab the medical kit under the sink..."

Daichi quickly fetched the kit and handed it to Rose.

"Suga, I'm sorry but this is gonna sting..."

Rose applied a cleaning solution to the bond bite on the back of Suga's neck. Suga whimpered and tried to inch away from the pain. After thoroughly cleaning the still bleeding bite, Rose taped a gauze over it to let it heal.

"I didn't think you'd be the overly possessive type..." Rose commented, "I've never seen it this bad before..."

"Sorry..." Daichi blushed

"It's okay, you didn't kill him..." Rose smiled sweetly, "And it looks like he did a number on you too, turn around..."

Daichi turned his back to her and he heard Suga gasp.

"I did that?!"

"Yup... you should cut your nails Suga..." Rose giggled

"What's wrong?" Daichi didn't feel pain, could it be that bad?

"This is gonna sting Daichi..." was all he heard before Rose applied the cleaning solution to the open cuts down his back courtesy of Suga's nails

"Ahh!" Daichi flinched

"Look at that! They're still bleeding!" Rose commented

"I'm sorry Dai!" Suga called from the bed

"Don't apologize! You can't even walk because I couldn't control myself!" Daichi snapped

Rose didn't stop cleaning the wounds. She's been through this before.

"But..." Rose could hear the tears from Suga's voice

"Suga..." Rose said, "It's okay, it's something all alphas feel after something like this..."

"But this isn't okay!" Daichi spun around to look into Rose's unfazed eyes

"One of my subordinates had a charge in his care that actually died..." Rose said

Daichi and Suga went silent.

"They were in a similar situation to you, but they were a few years younger... They had been dating for about a year before they presented and when they did..." Rose stared directly into Daichi's eyes, "The alpha killed his omega."

Daichi didn't know how to feel, it was relief that he didn't kill Suga, but hearing about something like that happening to a couple YOUNGER than they were.

"Don't get so down on yourself..." Rose said placing her hand on his shoulder, "Suga's still alive and he doesn't need to be rushed to the hospital... everything is okay..."

Daichi finally made eye contact with his omega and smiled, "Yeah... sorry Rose..."

"Alright..." Rose smiled, "I can't put a gauze over your whole back so I'd suggest taking a nap on a soft towel so that they close up..."

"Okay thanks..."

"You know how to call me if you need anything else..." she smiled and left the room.

-- TWO WEEKS LATER --

"Nice form guys!" Suga called as he helped with spiking practice

Daichi went to spike a ball Suga set when he noticed something. Suga smelt different. Daichi jumped but missed his spike. He stared at Suga.

"What's wrong Dai? Something on my face?" Suga asked

"No..." he frowned

Suga didn't only smell different, he LOOKED slightly different. Like he was glowing.

"Are you feeling okay Dai? Maybe you should sit down..." Suga said pulling his alpha to the side

"Suga... you look good today..."

"Wha...?" Suga blushed, "Daichi! You can't just SAY something like that!!"

"But you look like you're glowing today..."

Suga looked his alpha dead in the eyes, "Are you sure you're okay?"

"I'm fine Koushi..."

"Well okay..." Suga was not convinced, something was bothering his alpha.

"Suga..." Daichi looked deeply into his mate's eyes, "Are YOU okay?"

"Of course, why do you ask?" Suga frowned. ~Why is he being so weird today...?~

"You smell different..." Daichi said, "Like you still smell like you, but with something else..."

"Is it your scent you're smelling?" Suga asked

"I don't think so...?" Daichi furrowed his brow

"You wouldn't stop scenting me this morning, are you sure?"

"Maybe it is me then..." Daichi tilted his head to the side. ~But it doesn't smell like me...~

Daichi continued this weird behavior for a few more weeks and it was starting to bother Suga.

"Alright, what's your problem Daichi?!" Suga finally snapped

"What's wrong Suga?" Rose came around the corner, "Ever since we agreed to move into the safe house permanently, Daichi has been acting super weird!!"

"What do you mean Suga?" Rose asked

"He keeps telling me I smell different, he says I'm glowing, he follows me around and is really protective!" Suga said exasperated, "He even growled at Kageyama the other day just for talking to me!!"

"Hmmmm..." Rose gripped her chin and stared intently at Suga, "How long ago was that heat of yours?"

"Like two months ago?"

"No I mean the one that Daichi's rut started..." Rose responded

"Oh like a month ago..." Suga answered, "Why?"

"Daichi, how long ago did you notice the changes?" Rose ignored Suga's question

"About three weeks ago..."

"Hmmm..." Rose was in some deep thought, "Have you been feeling sick Suga?"

"Um... not really..." Suga scratched at his temple

"Because you're alpha is right, you ARE glowing..." Rose said, "You're scent also HAS changed, I don't need to scent check you to know that, I can smell it from here..."

"So what does that mean?" Suga asked

"I think you're pregnant..."
