Heat [Omegaverse, Brolby, SamandColbyFic]

Chapter 21

"I'm not... no, I'm not."  It was his first instinct to deny it.  "I'm not."

"Then please explain to me what the fuck that was..." Brennen said, and his voice was breathier than maybe it should be.  The Alpha had pulled back into his swim trunks and his arms were crossed over his chest. "Please explain to me what the fuck that was, because that looked like you trying to get me to fuck you when we just had a whole fucking conversation about how that wasn't going to happen."

"I..." Colby shook his head. "But it's too early..."

But even as he said it some memories were coming back, Nadja talking about wanting to see him sooner, certain syndromes that could cause unpredictable heats.  And then he looked at the last few days, and all of the could-have-been symptoms he had ignored.  "Oh fuck..." he muttered.

Brennen just nodded.  "Not to mention you smell like fucking heat," He added.  "I didn't recognize it at first but..." He swallowed, looking away, "That's fucking it."

"I... fuck..." Colby breathed.  He pressed his hands together, feeling a sucking sort of burning in his chest.  He pressed his clasped hands tight against it.  He was definitely more with it, but he was actively having to fight his hormones, fight them from taking over and urging him to go and fuck his Alpha...

God, he hated his second gender right then...

He knew his scent had spiked by the way that Brennen immediately growled and looked away after taking a breath.  "Fuck..."

Something tinged through his gut, more painful than the last one, and Colby hissed in a breath.  Brennen turned back to him, worry on his face.  "You good?"

"Hurts..." Colby said quietly, wincing again at a secondary tinge.

"What hurts?"  Brennen asked, taking a step towards him.

Colby grimaced, not wanting to tell Brennen but also not wanted to lie, "Not touching you."

Dismay broke out on Brennen's expression.  "What do you mean?"

"I uh... when you aren't touching me, it kinda hurts," Colby said, not sure how else to put it, hating it. "Like, in my stomach and chest."

He watched the guilt crawl up Brennen's face.  "You're sure it's not just the heat?" Brennen asked but Colby shook his head.

"It's better when you're touching me.  At least, it was earlier..." Colby said, realizing what those cramps and pains had been this morning.

Fuck...

"You were having this earlier?" Brennen asked, eyes narrowing.

Colby immediately felt defensive. "I didn't know what it was!  Since when are heats painful?" He retorted.

Colby watched Brennen take that in, watched the Alpha think, before he took a few steps closer to Colby.  His scent was more potent closer up, and Colby felt a whine press from his throat.

Brennen stopped, his face twisting comically.  "You can't fucking do that," He breathed, his voice raspy again.

Colby let out a tortured bark of a laugh.  "I don't have a lot of control of what my body does right now, dude."

"Fuck, fuck, just don't... don't jump me, okay?"  Colby rolled his eyes, but nodded, even if that reality was just a little bit too real right now.

Brennen held out a hand and Colby let out way too vocal a sigh at resuming contact with the Alpha when he took it.  The clawing, tinging pain in his abdomen stilled, but the lust and nervous energy stil burned under the surface of his skin.
