Flowers?

Taehyung blinks at the giant bouquet on the nightstand, constisting out of all sorts of pretty flowers in all different kinds of colours.

Coming closer, he inhales the scents, smiling brightly.

He takes the alpha's clothes, neatly putting them back in his closet. After, he takes a deep breath, going downstairs to face the other.

"Goodmorning, alpha. I want to sincerely apologise for my strange behaviour yesterday, also for suddenly nesting. Also for taking your clothes without your permission. Also for showering without asking you first. By the way, also for taking your bed. I─if you'd unlock the spare room, we can both sleep peacefully." He starts ranting, fiddling with his own fingers nervously.

And why does the alpha smell different? His pheromones are─ stressed? He sniffs, confirming the stressed part.

"I─I can smell that you're stressed, alpha. I'm really sorry, it's probably caused because of my wierd behaviour yesterday. S─sorry for being such a handful of an omega─" The last sentence didn't come from him, but his wolf. He rolls his eyes at the animal inside of him.

"Pup," The alpha suddenly starts, raising his chin up to meet his eyes. Taehyung freezes, forgetting how to breathe.

"Never, and I mean never, apologise again for nesting. Never apologise for your nature. You're my omega, you can take any piece of clothing you like. Whether it's to wear it or to nest. Or showering, I don't care,"

The omega's eyes widened slightly. He genuinely expected a punishment, or to get hit. He has seen it happen countless of times back in his pack.

"As I told you, I need to be around you constantly, especially during the first two weeks. Locking up the spare room was my idea, so don't apologise for sleeping in my bed either. It's my own decision to sleep on either the couch or the floor next to it, since I don't want to make you even more uncomfortable. It's not your fault, omega,"

Taehyung blinks, staring in those comforting orbs with a flipping heart.

"Don't worry about me being stressed, pup. I'll get over it. You didn't act wierdly yesterday, it was completely normal behaviour that was expected,"

The submissive's mind went blank, not being able to understand how the male in front of him is this forgiving, this understanding, this.. sweet towards him. Being such a good alpha for him─ he almost shrieks at his own last realisation.

"You're the best thing that has ever happened to me, Taehyung. You're not a handful. In fact, you're the best omega ever,"

Jeongguk's thumb traces over Taehyung's scent gland whilst he spoke, trying to get pheromones out of him that will cover his own stressed ones. He can't possibly expect the omega to do that for him. He holds onto his neck gently, his other hand now placed onto his waist.

Taehyung's omega starts to rumble up a purr, making the dominant smile.

"That's it, there's my perfect little omega. You're so adorable. You like it when I praise you?"

An even louder purr confirms his words, making him chuckle out. Taehyung starts blushing terribly, trying to look away.

"You don't have to avoid eye contact, darling. I give you the permission to look at me whenever you want to. I'm all yours, just like you're all mine. No need to be shy."

Taehyung's jaw slacks, eyes now bulging out of their sockets.

This is exactly what he means with 'Jeongguk is too good to be true.' Never in a million years, would he have thought to hear such a thing, ever. This is insane.

He shoots his eyes back at the alpha's face, eyes darting between his in uncertainty. A confused look on his features, not being able to comprehend it.

Jeongguk just smiles, exposing his white teeth that left the omega crumbling on his spot.

This alpha is something else.

"Alpha?" Taehyung mumbles, trying to come back to reality.

"Yes, pup?" He responds, threading his hand through Taehyung's blonde locks.

"Alpha.." He whispers again, not even knowing why. He stands there flabbergasted, not knowing what to do with himself or the male in front of him.

Jeongguk laughs quietly.
"Omega.." He retorts, but freezes once Taehyung steps closer, hands ever so shakily holding onto his shirt while resting his head on his chest; hugging him for a second or three.

"Thank you for─" He pauses, not sure how to finish it. Being such a good alpha? No, that would be too intimate. He doesn't want to give the other too many ideas. After all, he still has three days to get back to his pack.

"Thank you for being you.." Is what he chose to say instead, immediately letting go after and sitting down in front of the table, starting to eat the breakfast that was prepared for him.

His nose twitches, notcing Jeongguk's previously stresses pheromones turning much sweeter, his wolf triumphing and dancing around within him in pride.

A small smile tugs at Taehyung's lips at that.

He hums in delight at the amazing flavours of his breakfast, closing his eyes for a moment.

Looking back at the alpha, he shyly meets the other's gaze, feeling his heart thump widely because of it.

Jeongguk was already starting at him fondly, practically having heart-eyes.

"I have something for you," The alpha suddenly announces, disappearing out of sight for a second to go get something.

Taehyung curiously peeks, nervous. What could it be? The other has already given him more than he ever dared to even think of, what could he possibly─

Jeongguk reappears, something hidden behind his back.

"Close your eyes and stand up," He instructs, which Taehyung quickly does.

"This will keep you warm once it'll get colder.." A bit of weight was hung over his shoulders, making his eyes flutter back open.

He gasps, fingers already finding themselves to touch the unbelievably soft material of the fur coat. It's a little big for him, but he finds himself to quite love that. His wolf immediately treasures it deeply, squealing.

"I─ thank you.." He whispers, astonished.

Subconsciously, the consideration of escaping in the back of his mind only began becoming more and more bitter, especially seeing the way the alpha keenily looks at him.

Could he really hurt him like that?

>Tae, I'm so sorry, I went into heat! Where are you?! I'm worried sick! Did that alpha do something to you?! I'll come and get you!

The whirlwind within him escalated.
