After he settled Fyre into the passenger seat, making sure that he was fully buckled up, they soon left the venue without a problem. The whole ride was filled with silence. While Fyre was in no condition to have a proper conversation due to his heat, Tian Zi on the other hand wasn't in the mood to talk. He was still a little upset about this whole thing and he'd rather shut his mouth for now than argue with the Omega. At the same time, there was that pheromone that was trapped inside the car as well, despite already slightly opening the window for ventilation. He needed to focus or else all his senses would overpower his mind.

"T-Tian Zi... M-My body's hot..." Fyre suddenly uttered. His body started to tremble and his scent became stronger,  its main purpose was to find an Alpha to mate with by instinct.

"I know... Hold on, ...damn it..." Tian Zi cursed, and he too began to breathe heavily. He knew full well that the situation was becoming more dangerous. He had not been exposed this long to Fyre's pheromones before and he couldn't deny that it was indeed too strong for him. He thought he could handle it since he had managed to for many years but now, it was different.  It wasn't helping that he was currently already intoxicated with alcohol. His senses were way too loose at the moment, making it even more challenging to hold on to his control.

He hated to admit it, but Paul had been right, it was insane of him to decide to send Fyre back when he was in heat, but then again, Tian Zi was glad that he hadn't accepted that room. He didn't regret it. He didn't want to owe anyone, especially Paul Hymlyn. That man got on his nerves for some reason.

"Fuck! Your place is too far..." Tian Zi cursed again. For a quick second, he calculated how long it would take to arrive at Fyre's place and whether he'd be able to hold on till then. He knew he wouldn't, so the best solution to their current situation was to temporarily go to a closer place and wait for Fyre to rest there. They didn't have much time. And in the worst-case scenario, they might end up in a traffic accident, possibly killing someone or dying in the process.

"Fyre, do you have your suppressant on you?" Tian Zi asked as he maneuvered the car to a different lane. He had decided that it was best to change destination rather than risk everything. Additionally, he was soon reaching his limit and he could feel his rut coming, feeling his crotch getting tighter and tighter. He didn't have his own suppressant on him because he was in a hurry when he left earlier, but Fyre should have one since he just came from his heat weeks ago and it was expected for it to come back every now and then.

"Hmmn, car... a-at Paul's car..." Fyre moaned. He did prepare a suppressant but earlier, he carelessly left it in the car thinking it wouldn't be a problem since he had taken it already.

". . ." Not replying, Tian Zi cursed again internally. He had no one to blame for this except that Paul Hymlyn. If he and Fyre were true friends, he should have known that Fyre was recessive and that crowded places where there are a lot of pheromones in one closed room could affect Fyre's body at any given time. He should have taken it into consideration before inviting him to the event without a proper counter measure.

"Hang in there. We're about to arrive." Tian Zi said after a long silence. He impatiently tapped on his wheels waiting for the car in front of them to move.
It was only seconds but as soon as it moved, he sighed in relief as if he waited for a year to finally happen. Tian Zi then quickly turned into the intersection leading to the parking lot of a building. It's been a while since he had been at the place but it was the closest so he had no choice. He had wanted to go to Empire Hotel because there was a private elevator for him there but he couldn't be choosy now as long as Fyre couldn't settle.
