Chapter Text
“Fuck. Fuck, Alex. Stay still.” Alex continued to moan dramatically as his mate kept pounding into him. “So wet for me.” Alex’s legs wrapped around Loki’s waist, pulling him tighter to his body. “I’m, shit, I’m gonna…” David pulled out, giving himself a few more strokes before releasing over Alex’s flaccid cock and stomach. Alex already had that disappointed look on his face. “What?”
“You said we were gonna have pups. You promised.” Loki got off the bed, heading for the box of tissues on their dresser.
“I said eventually. Not now.” He started wiping away the wasted semen on the man.
“Why? I want- We’re gonna run out of time.” Alex sat straight and pulled his legs to his chest after Loki finished wiping him off.
“Oh, stop. We’re not gonna run out of time. You’re only 34. You’re fine.”
“I’m not fine. I need pups.” Loki tucked himself into his side of the bed. “If you don’t do it… I can find someone else. A lot of people would probably be interested in breeding without being responsible for pups.”
“Alex, don’t say that. We’ll get there… eventually. Give it a fucking break.” Alex gave David one more angry look before he clicked off their bedside lamp.
-
“Look David, this guy wants to get someone pregnant.” Alex turned David’s laptop towards him, showing him the web page he was looking at. David furrowed his brows at him.
“Is that… craigslist? Alex get off of there.” David took the laptop away from Alex, closing it and tucking it next to the couch. “Will you stop?” Alex’s face turned to a mix of sadness and anger.
“When, David? When are we having pups? I want a date.” David shook his head and huffed.
“I don’t know. I’m asking you to drop it. It’ll happen eventually. Stop pushing it.”
“This is all I want, David.” Alex's bottom lip quivered. “Tell me if you’ll give it to me. Be honest.”
“What are you gonna do if I don’t?” At this point Loki was just pushing his luck. He was annoyed and upset, he didn’t feel in control of the words coming out of his mouth.
“I’ll find someone.” a fat tear fell down Alex cheek. “I-” He choked out a sob, making David put an arm around the boy and pull him into his side. “I love you, David. So much. But I need this.”
-
“You ready, Al?” Alex nodded and pulled on his shoes.
“Oh, wait!” He sprinted off into the house, before returning with the large gift bag. David’s sister had just had a pup of her own. A little boy. Alex was incredibly excited to meet the little one today.
He had gone a bit overboard at the store buying gifts. Well, overboard according to David. He could’ve kept going, there were a lot more toys and clothes he wanted to get. He had brought David along with him, his job was to push the cart while Alex ogled everything. He was happy Loki had gotten distracted at some points though. He didn’t want to admit seeing the teeny tiny shoes and hats made him tear up. He day dreamed about being able to buy all these things for himself one day. It had been a month since the last time they talked about pups, besides the few times David’s sister was brought up.
Alex and Alicia got along very well, so he was up to date on every part of the pregnancy. He was the first person she told when she got her partner pregnant. He was happy when he was on the phone with her, then after he’d lock himself in the bathroom and cry alone. He still volunteered to babysit wherever they needed him to.
-
They got there after a short car ride. Alex then found himself with the pup in his arms. He was so very cute. Alex didn’t want to let him go. They didn’t mind, it was nice to not have to worry about him for a while. Then he started having the pup try on all the different outfits, and see how he reacted to all the different toys. He was only a few months old, so there wasn’t much reaction to anything.
Alex was sitting on the floor with the pup, on one of the new fleece blankets he bought. They were alone till Alicia came in to check up. “You are very good with him, Alex. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him go this long without crying.” Alicia chuckled. “Do you think you and David are gonna have pups?” Alex looked down and shrugged.
“I want a few. David is… I don’t know.” He looked up at Alicia. “Has he ever talked to you about it?” She shook her head.
“I don’t think so. I guess he’s never talked about pups, either wanting or not wanting.”
“He told me to stop asking about it.” Alicia took a seat next to Alex as tears started coming out. He didn’t want to cry, but he had been crying at every little thing lately. Maybe it was just hormones. She rubbed his shoulder. “I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay, sweetheart.” He wiped his cheeks off. “You need to talk to him. I can help you if you want, but you need to have a serious conversation.”
“I tried. I really have. He knows how much I want pups. He- he just says ‘eventually’ and tells me to drop it.” Just then the man himself walked in.
“Oh, babe what happened?” Alicia backed off as David joined Alex on the floor.
“Nothing. I just- I’m fine. Just hormones I think.” David smiled and nodded. Alex leaned into David’s shoulder. “Look at this little guy, huh?” David giggled as the pup grabbed onto his finger. “Wow, look at you little man! He’s so strong!” Seeing David interact with the boy instantly made Alex feel better and let out a very soft purr. His were always quieter than everyone else, he was sure no one ever heard it. David had learned to hear it though, he didn’t start purring regularly till a few months into them dating. Seeing David and the pup also made his stomach cramp up, even though there was no reason for it to do so, he wasn’t set to have a heat for at least another two months. They had gotten more common since he got out of the Jones house, but once a month was far out of the norm. David quickly sniffed. “Do you wanna head out?” Alex was caught a little off guard. “It’s, uh, getting late. I gotta work in the morning.”
“Sure, I guess. Thank you for having us over, Alicia.” She smiled and got up with the two men, Alex picked up the pup and handed him over to Alicia.
“You’re welcome over any time!” They exchanged hugs. “Remember to call me later, Alex. We can talk about… we’ll talk.”
-
Alex and Loki were cuddled on the couch, still coming down from a happy day with the new pup and seeing David’s family. Alex was overjoyed at the moment, he was sitting between Loki’s legs, he was able to rub his cheek on Loki’s arm that was resting on the back of the couch, they had a big warm blanket over them. It was heaven. He had never purred this much in his life, never this loudly either. David had noticed, not that he could’ve missed it if he tried.
“You were really good with the pup.”
“I know.” David chuckled. “I mean, Alicia said I was.” David pressed his nose closer to Alex’s hair and sniffed. Alex twisted around and furrowed his brows. “Why do you keep doing that? Do I- Do you smell something? I shouldn’t-” David took in another deep inhale.
“Yeah… Yeah, I think. Are you sure?” Alex nodded.
“It’s only been a month. It’s too soon.”
“Hm. Maybe being around the pup? Are you feeling anything else?” Alex shook his head.
“Not that I’ve noticed. I’d notice.” He thought for a second. “...My tummy did hurt earlier, just before you smelled me.” Alex turned back around and sunk down into the couch. “It can’t be though.” He had a good understanding of his pre-heat state. He only had a few before he met David. It probably wasn’t good for him but he typically had 1-2 a year, and he liked to be prepared. He’d leave the Jones house, which got easier once he got the camper to himself. It was basically a nest on wheels. He kinda missed it sometimes, now he had a nice sized closet to himself. It was warmer than the camper, and dark, but the closet couldn’t drive him anywhere to be alone.
“Well, if it worries you we can go to the doctor, just let me know.”
-
David couldn’t keep his hands and lips off of Alex once they got to bed that night. He was touching Alex in the ways he would when their cycles overlapped. Groping his breasts and squeezing his hips. He kept nipping at his neck, surely leaving a love bite. He stopped suddenly, giving Alex one final kiss below his ear before he turned around. Alex turned around with him, hugging himself tightly to Loki’s back and wrapping his arms around him before they both drifted asleep.
Loki was woken up early in the morning. 4:47 am specifically. He heard a whine coming from the closet, Alex’s nesting closet. He instantly shot out of bed and sprinted for the closet. Alex was curled into a ball with a heating pad pressed to his stomach. He was still only in his boxers, which were visibly wet and leaking onto the blanket below him. He looked up at David, who was still just standing in the doorway. David went to lay behind him, holding him close and tight. There were no words exchanged, just mutual understanding and an intimate knowledge of each other. Alex liked cuddling all the time, but specifically during his heat.
“I feel really bad this time.”
“I know, baby. We’ll get through though, right? Do you want me to get you anything right now?” Alex nodded.
“Hungry.” David smiled against the crook of Alex’s neck.
“I’ll go get you some snacks, some drinks too. You’re real sweaty.” He quickly kissed Alex’s neck before getting up to raid their pantry. He also stopped by the bathroom and their dresser to grab Alex a change of boxers and some absorbent pads. He knew Alex hated the feeling of his slick all over himself. David had filled a basket with all the items he promised.
“Alright, love.” He set the basket down. “Can I help you get changed?” Alex nodded and rolled onto his back. “I already put the pads in.” He pulled down Alex’s boxers, using them to wipe up some of the slick on him. He then pulled on the fresh boxers, Alex already looked a little better. “There you are. Why don’t you get something to eat from the basket? I’ll change out this blanket too.” Alex nodded again and crawled over to graze the basket. David balled up the blanket and the underwear, he dropped them outside the door before clicking it shut. He then grabbed a spare blanket from one of the shelves and laid it out where the previous one had been. Alex was sitting, waiting for David to finish his nest clean ups. David flopped back down on the blanket, patting the spot next to him. “What’d you choose?” Alex held up his items. “Oo, twinkie and a juice box, that sounds yummy.” Alex smiled and crawled back over to his spot. It wasn’t surprising Alex wasn’t saying much, he never did when he was feeling unwell, and his heat always made him feel incredibly unwell. He started to eat and drink, it didn’t take him long to finish his juice and get another. David had suspected he’d be extra thirsty based on how much he’d been sweating and made sure to pack in extra drinks this time.
David stayed with him a few more hours, till he had to drag himself to work. Alex had asked if he was sure he wanted to go today, and he didn’t, but he knew there’d be harsh punishment if he called out with this little notice. To say the least, today was a very hard goodbye. Alex spent his day curled up his softest blanket, just waiting for his partner to return. David had graciously left his laptop behind so Alex could keep himself entertained the whole day. Although he could hardly concentrate on anything with how his body was feeling.
-
“Hey babe, how’s it going?” Alex shrugged.
“Better, I think.” David laid behind Alex again, this time Alex made a displeased sound as David pressed against him.
“What? Do you want space?” Alex shook his head.
“Your clothes…” Loki smiled.
“Right, obviously.” Alex’s skin did get more sensitive to everything when he was in heat, he sometimes even struggled being in contact with his nest materials. Loki quickly removed his work clothes, khaki pants and a rough pressed button up. Just before He tossed the clothes towards the door Alex stopped him, he grabbed the t-shirt and put it up near his head to keep the scent close. Loki laid behind Alex once again. “I’ve been thinking about this all day babe.” He nuzzled his nose against Alex’s neck. “I missed you.” He started nipping at his neck. “So much.” His hands went back to his chest, giving both of Alex’s small breasts a squeeze. “Can we…” Alex nodded and pulled his boxer down.
“Be careful. Please, I’m really sore.”
“Mhmm, don’t worry.” Loki lined himself up with Alex’s hole before pushing in. “Sh-shit. You’re so fucking-fuck.” Loki was fighting to not fuck into Alex’s hole as fast as he could, instead he let Alex set the pace. It was slow, steady, and careful. David knew he wasn’t going to last long. Alex’s figure seemed fuller this cycle, it was irresistible to David. He wanted to feel every soft curve of his body, maybe take a picture to remember it forever. Alex was moaning softly with every push back, sending David closer to his end. “Do you want me to touch your-”
“No! No, don’t. I can’t-” David knew what he meant, Alex was already overwhelmed. He typically was when they had sex during his heat. David couldn’t get his mind off of Alex’s hole, he was so slick and loose. It felt fantastic. Alex’s hand went behind him to rest on David’s thigh. Alex stopped moving, waiting for David to take over instead.
David still attempted to practice self control, he assumed the hand on his thigh was to keep him from going too fast. David was practically counting down the seconds till he finished at this point. He pushed himself all the way into Alex, his knot immediately swelling. Alex gasped at the stretch. He had never been knotted, he had tried a toy once but it just made him uncomfortable and it was smaller than Loki was. Soon after Loki finished, he wrapped his arms around Alex and pulled him close.
“You- you knotted me?” Alex’s hands were shaking. He could feel his partner nod against the back of his head.
“Yeah. Yeah, sorry. I should’ve asked first.”
“It’s okay. It’s perfect. We- were having pups.” Alex smiled and breathed out a giggle.
“Yep.” Loki kissed the crown of his head before closing his eyes, they’d be here for a bit.
-
After 45 minutes David was able to slide out. Alex turned around immediately and squeezed David with a big hug. “I’m so happy.” Loki started petting Alex’s hair.
“Me too, babe.” Alex got comfortable, pulling a blanket over them and putting a big stuffed animal under his head to act as a pillow. Alex began purring again as Loki brushed through his hair. Both of them had heavy eyelids, Alex was constantly tired during his heat anyways.
“What are we gonna name the pups?”
“Pups? As in more than One?” Alex nodded and put a hand on his belly.
“There’s two, I can feel it.” Loki smiled at him.
“We’ll see then. We still have to make sure it takes.” The smile fell from Alex’s face. He tucked himself into Loki’s chest. “I’m sure it will though, don’t worry.” Alex rubbed his face against Loki’s chest. “If not we’ll do it over and over till we have our little ones.” Alex smiled again and looked back up at Loki. Deep down he did know his body may have troubles accepting fertilization. He had seen a doctor who told him as much when he decided he wanted pups with Loki. It made him resent the Jones even more when he found out.
Alex fell asleep happy today, purring, satisfied, and in love.
