Presentations rarely came at a convenient time nor was it some magical moment which fixed everything.
Yet Seungkwan waited every day.
He wanted to present and genuinely looked forward to it, but it was mostly so he could be done with it. He already knew what he would present as. After all, only omegas were born with certain bits needed for pregnancies so there was no question about it. Seungkwan knew his entire life he would be an omega.
Most presented between the ages of fifteen to twenty, yet when Seungkwan turned 21 he had yet to present. Nothing at 22… 23... not even at 24! He had gone to the doctor every year to monitor and everything was supposedly fine healthwise. A late bloomer wasn’t unheard of.
But it sucked to be at such an adult age yet feel like he was behind his peers. Presentation was pivotal to society. It was a part of growing older. Plenty of people refused to date unpresented, regardless of age, due to the belief that unpresented had yet to mature. Like going through a second puberty.
Sure, Seungkwan was not fertile until he presented and his scent had yet to develop, but he was more than old enough to engage in consensual acts between adults! Yet quite a lot of people regarded him as immature just because he could not participate in scenting sessions and was not fertile.
Ridiculous!
Another reason why he needed it to happen as soon as possible. Every passing day brought him more annoyance at the exclusion he kept being subjected to.
But like stated, presentations rarely happened at convenient times. Even if it was something he longed for every day, he had not expected it to hit him so hard and so fast while he was out enjoying a lazy afternoon. He thought he would have some sort of heads up. Maybe he would be able to smell scents better or he would get a mild heat fever. Just... Anything.
He had been at a coffee shop, sitting with two betas who had invited him to their table when they saw everywhere was full and the lone omega standing there with his americano looking sad and forlorn.
Seungkwan had been very grateful and then blushed when he realised he had probably interrupted a couple on their date. They had occupied a three seater couch with a small coffee table, the taller of the two with his arm around the other man. Seungkwan had apologised profusely while the shorter beta had smiled widely, his cheeks bunched up cutely, and said it was okay.
They had introduced themselves. The short, smiley one was Soonyoung and the tall man wearing glasses was Wonwoo. Both were quite attractive, something Seungkwan had only realised after his embarrassment had settled.
Wonwoo had a classical sort of handsomeness. Sharp features. Strong nose. Strong jaw. Foxlike eyes. Truly a marvel.
Soonyoung was more on the cute side with his wide grins and bunched up cheeks. Pretty even, especially with the way his eyes crinkled whenever he smiled.
Truly an attractive couple.
Soonyoung had made casual conversation, seemingly truly interested as he asked and prodded. Talking enough for two while Wonwoo seemed happy to be more laid back and observe the conversation happening, interjecting once in a while to tease or correct something Soonyoung was saying. Pure domesticity. A beautiful couple, really. It made envy churn deep in Seungkwan’s stomach. He knew what he was looking at was something rare. A love which most people would never experience in their lives. He could even smell the happiness in their scents.
Usually betas had milder scents, but Wonwoo’s deep roasted coffee scent stood out even while in a cafe and Soonyoung’s caramel scent was oddly sweet for a beta. It was peculiar that Seungkwan could smell them so well despite being unpresented, but it hadn’t raised any alarms because sometimes people’s scents really were just that strong. His best friend’s mate had a scent which even Seungkwan could smell whenever he walked into the room. Usually unpresented people had to get close to the gland to smell someone, but not /always/.
In hindsight, Seungkwan realised it had been one of the signs he had waited for. For nearly an hour he had sat there chatting with butterflies in his stomach (yes, they were a couple and they were off limits, but they were attractive and Seungkwan was weak) and enjoying their lovely scents when out of nowhere he had felt it.
A new scent bloomed around him. Something akin to the baked apple pies his mother sometimes made. It was sweet. Like walking past a pastry shop in the early morning when everything was still fresh out of the oven. It took Seungkwan several moments of confusion before he realised it was his scent. He finally had a scent.
It was also in this moment he realised why the scent was so strong; he was wet. Practically dripping with slick. His pants were soaked through and the couch under him felt squishy. Instantly his cheeks flared with embarrassment and he would have cried if not for the other emotion which trumped over all else; the intense need of being fucked.
Seungkwan let out a loud whimper, curling in on himself. Completely unaware of the many eyes on him; some which were predatory looks from unmated alphas.
Everyone could probably tell this was a first heat. A first heat had an intense scent, due to the glands blooming and leaking for the first time. The couple in front of him definitely knew, since he had been unpresented when he first sat down.
”Shit,” Soonyoung cursed. “Wonwoo, what do we do?”
”We should get him out of here,” Wonwoo’s voice was deep and calm. Reassuring. It even broke througth Seungkwan’s deep haze of lust. Made him look up with tearful eyes.
”Please-” Seungkwan leaned forward, hands grasping the closest of the two. Grabbing Soonyoung. “I need- I-”
Soonyoung inhaled sharply and his eyes were dark, but Seungkwan did not think much of it. He saw the two men as his salvation. Wanted desperately for them to to stave this intense heat building in his stomach. Felt his hole flutter with need to be filled. He wanted Soonyoung and Wonwoo. Wanted their bodies againts his, wanted to bathe in their comforting scents.
”Okay, Seungkwannie,” Soonyoung’s voice was cheerful and soft. “Come on, let’s get out of here.”
Seungkwan nodded desperately, all too happy to go anywhere they wanted to go as long as it meant they would fuck him. He needed to be filled. To be bred. He wanted to be round with pups and these two heavenly smelling people could help him.
So yes, he would do anything they told him to. He grabbed onto Wonwoo, allowing him to guide him towards the exit. Was shamelessly pressing his body against the hard, tall frame and seeking out the rich scent of coffee. Wanted to drown in it.
”Where do we take him?” Wonwoo spoke quietly.
”Uh, hey, Seungkwan?”
Seungkwan reluctantly pulled away from the warm, comforting beta and looked at the sweetly smiling Soonyoung. “Hm?”
”Who is your closest friend?”
”Jeonghanie hyung and Seokminnie hyung”
”Okay, can we borrow your phone?”
Seungkwan didn’t even hesitate as he fished out his phone and handed it to Soonyoung. Was happy to do whatever as long as it pleased them. Seungkwan wanted to be good.
”Thank you, omega,” Soonyoung said sweetly.
Being referred as ‘omega’ made Seungkwan jolt with pleasure, more slick leaking down his thighs. His pants beyond ruined at this point. He didn’t notice the way Wonwoo glared at Soonyoung or the way Soonyoung cheekily smiled back.
All Seungkwan was aware of was the heat in his stomach, the wetness between his thighs, and the need to be filled. He keened as he wrapped himself tighter around the coffee scented beta and shamelessly pressed his crotch against a hard thigh. Did not notice the low curse Wonwoo let out nor did he smell the hint of arousal. Seungkwan sighed in content, feeling some of the insistent heat dissipate as he scented intimately with Wonwoo. Felt comforted.
”I called your Jeonghan hyung,” Soonyoung stepped closer and put the phone back into Seungkwan’s jacket pocket. “He gave me an address so we’ll be going there.”
Hyung?
A small hint of clarity cut through the fog.
Jeonghan hyung.
His precious hyung who was an omega. Omegas could spend their heats together and it would alleviate the symptoms. Make it bearable. Turn it platonic.
Yes, Seungkwan wanted that.
Wanted his hyungs. Needed both his precious omega friends.
”Please, take me to hyung. I-”
”Of course,” Wonwoo spoke calmly. “We’ll drive you right there.”
Seungkwan blinked, suddenly aware of the parking lot they were in.
”Come sit in the back with me, Seungkwan,” Soonyoung called with a gentle smile.
Seungkwan nodded blearily and keened in satisfaction when he was pressed up against the sweet caramel fragrance. It was warm and comforting, just like Wonwoo's scent. Made Seungkwan leak more slick, but the knowledge of soon being with his hyung had overshadowed the lust enough for him to act less shameful.
Well, he was still nipping along Soonyoung’s scent gland. An intimate act. If Seungkwan had been sane, he would have been surprised at how Soonyoung was okay with this, but Soonyoung kept holding Seungkwan tightly and even bared more of his neck. Warmth spread through Seungkwan’s chest and he barely noticed the car moving. Had only whined as Soonyoung urged him to put his belt on, because it meant being momentarily detached from the sweet smelling gland, but he was back within seconds.
Was lost in a delirious fog. All he knew was the warm, firm body against his and the sweet caramel scent enveloping him.
It felt brutal when someone grabbed his shoulders and tugged him away. Seungkwan hissed and resisted, not wanting to be separated from the comforting smell, but then a voice cut through the fog and Seungkwan instantly started crying.
The one grabbing him was Jeonghan. A distraught looking Jeonghan with his long, black hair a mess. The sweet vanilla scent was tinted with worry and love. A scent which Seungkwan had struggled to catch whiffs of before was now strong and all encompassing. Seungkwan melted into the arms, crying loudly in relief.
Everything would be okay with hyung here.
”Thank you,” Jeonghan spoke to the beta couple. “Thank you for keeping him safe.”
”Of course,” Soonyoung said and one could hear the smile in his tone.
A part of Seungkwan wanted to turn around and look at the couple. He was more clearheaded, the presence of another omega truly altered everything, but he was too embarrassed and overwhelmed to look at them. Embarrassed as he realised how he had acted towards a couple and overwhelmed because of all his swirling emotions.
”Come on, let’s get you in the nest. Seokminnie is on his way too.”
Relief flooded through Seungkwan and he happily followed his precious hyung, knowing everything would be okay.
(The day after, finally fully presented as an omega and completely heat free, Seungkwan was busy burrowing himself in the nest and refusing to come out.
”It wasn’t that bad!” Jeonghan tried. “They didn’t seem like they minded.”
”Yeah, when I presented I was in the middle of a school play,” Seokmin said cheerily. “In the middle of my solo too. You’ll be fine.”
”I was intimately scenting someone in front of his boyfriend,” Seungkwan grumbled into the blanket, wincing physically from the shame he felt. But he did finally sit up, grabbing for his phone to check on any missed messages. Ignored his two friends who began talking about what to have for lunch.
Some missed messages from his mom. Some from other friends and-
Seungkwan froze.
Hi! It’s Soonyoung! I took the liberty to send a text from your phone to mine so i could check in. If i went too far you can delete and ignore this its okay! But yeah, are you okay? And would you be cool to meet up again one day? Me and wonwoo loved talking with you at the cafe and would love to meet again.
Seungkwan blushed deeply as he read the message and the last line made him squeal out loud, alerting his two friends.
”See, I told you!” Jeonghan said after he and Seokmin had read the message.
”Do you wanna meet them?” Seokmin asked. “They sound pretty nice.”
A part of Seungkwan wanted to never look at them again, the shame burning too bright, but a bigger part of him could not forget their addictive scents and their attractive faces. It should scare him away from wanting to meet them, in case he did something as foolish as falling for taken men, but.
”Yeah. I do.”)
