TW: Toxic past relationship

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, shit.

Shinsou was really bad at this relationship stuff, wasn't he?

When he'd decided it was a good idea to make sure he kept figurative lines in the sand, he hadn't considered whether or not Denki wanted those lines. And now?

He was going to have to pay the price for that.

"Kitten, no," he pulled back, trying to keep the desperation out of his voice. First a breakup because of too much sex, now a breakup because of none?

"Denki, mouse, I can explain-"

Denki wrested Shinsou's hands off of him. "It's not- not your fault. I probably- it makes sense i-if I'm not enough."

An aggressive growl escaped Hitoshi's mouth involuntarily. The alpha clapped his hands over his own mouth. Denki looked back at Shinsou, eyes terrified and sad and hands already moving to defend himself.

Hitoshi gently moved Kaminari's hands away from his face. He cupped the omega's cheeks with his hands. "You are enough, I promise. I want you. Denki, you're beautiful. Every single second-" The alpha felt his voice crack. "Every single second I'm with you, I want to touch you. But I wasn't sure if you were ready. I'm just-"

Denki looked up at him and rasped, "Just?"

"I'm scared, Denks," he conceded. "I'm gonna tell you a story, okay?"

Denki nodded, folding into himself. The omega wrapped his arms around his legs and rested his cheek on his knees, like a hedgehog trying to curl into a ball. Shinsou wiped away one last tear on Kaminari's face and then let go, as the omega obviously didn't want to be touched.

"When I was fourteen, I met a beta named Neito Monoma at school. He was smart, calm, pretty-"

Denki interrupted, glaring coldly at Shinsou. "If you're going to talk about someone else I'm not going to listen. Unless your explanation is that you've been cheating. Because then I'm leaving."

Hitoshi tried to brush away Denki's tears again, but the omega flinched back. "No, baby, just- just let me finish, please." Denki nodded sharply, turning his head so he wasn't looking at Shinsou anymore. That was okay.

"When I was fourteen, I met Neito Monoma. He was composed, smart, pretty, and generally fun to be around.

"We were friends almost immediately, even though I was really antisocial back then. People said it was because our personalities were alike, I don't know. He was my best friend, at times my only friend, and once I was a little bit older and a little more horny, I started thinking maybe I had a crush on him. After all, we'd known each other for a while and I was an alpha and I thought that was right."

Hitoshi's face turned, looking disgusted. "We... 'dated'. For three years. Until about the year before last. When I was eighteen he dumped me, and I was so mad... until one day his new boyfriend, this guy called Tetsutetsu, shows up at my college dorm when I was nineteen and starts yelling at me. And it's sad that I didn't realize it until then, but I was... I was just using Monoma as a sex toy, basically. We didn't fit, I only used him to relieve my frustration. Every date we had, we'd end up fucking. It was messed up and toxic in every way and I let lust take me over and I don't want that to happen to you, mouse-" Shinsou squeezed his eyes shut, trying not to panic.

He felt a soft hand touch his face.

"You're crying, Shin," Denki said, ghosting the pads of his fingers over Shinsou's cheeks. The omega looked as numb from hearing the story as Hitoshi felt from telling it.

"Please don't leave me," Hitoshi whimpered. Like, actually whimpered. The big, strong alpha had been reduced to a whimpering, crying puddle, and for some reason his omega was okay with that.

"I won't," Denki pulled Shinsou to him, resting his head on his alpha's shoulder. Shinsou leaned on Denki for support. Kaminari rubbed gentle, calming circles onto Hitoshi's back, exuding soft pheromones that helped to calm him down.

"I know-" Hitoshi squeezed his eyes shut. "I know I've only known you nine months-"

Denki turned his head to meet Shinsou's eyes.

"I really don't want to lose you, kitten."

Kaminari nodded, a faint blush on his face. "I don't want to lose you either- and it's obvious that you've changed, babe." He snuffled into Shinsou's scent gland, warm and comfortable. "You managed to keep your hands off of me for a full nine months-" He looked up at his alpha with a watery grin. "I mean, blue balls for an alpha for nine months? Most alphas can't even do that when their mates are pregnant."

Hitoshi's face brightened a little at his boyfriend's smile, though the alpha's nose was still runny and he was still a mess.

"Anyway," Denki glanced down shyly. "I, being of sound mind and body, give you my full consent to have your way with me when I'm on my heat, you're on your rut, and most other situations."

"Is this one of those situations?" Shinsou asked playfully after they had both cleaned up their faces. Denki arched an eyebrow at him, but then let his mouth part slightly as Hitoshi flicked his eyes down to his omega's lips.

Denki's breathing shallowed as their faces drifted closer, closer-

Mina slammed through the door. "You idiots got your shit in order? I hope you're aware that y'all both have jobs."

Denki sighed, pulling Shinsou down for a quick kiss and letting go. "Maybe not now-now."

hey hey lovelies :)

updates:

 I said I was going to publish BakuShima and then realized that I honestly can't take the number of haters I'm going to get for that <3 I'm probably going to start posting more Haikyuu content in the future

(Bc I know some people go through and read fics of ships they specifically dislike so they can post hate comments and I am not here for it)

I have like,,, a rough sketch of how I pictured Denki and Shinsou in this universe? If y'all wanna see it I'd love to post it (fair warning I'm a subpar artist and they will look different- I wrote this fic based on a drawing of aged-up mha characters I was brainrotting)

also:

Me: I should focus on my ShinKami fic so I can get it to my at least fifty followers

Also me: *barfs out TsukkiYama concept*

as always, you are beautiful, loved, and worthy of the entire world.

kisses and other forms of affection,

-gale
