Wei sat on the edge of his bed, his wings slightly ruffled and a faint blush on his cheeks. The heat coursing through his body was uncomfortable, but he was determined to keep it a secret. He didn’t want to worry Tixo or make things awkward.In the living room, Tixo was sprawled out on the couch, lazily flicking through channels on the TV. He had noticed Wei acting a bit strange all day, but being his usual oblivious self, he hadn’t given it much thought."Wei, you okay in there?" Tixo called out, not taking his eyes off the screen.Wei jumped slightly, his concentration broken. He took a deep breath, trying to steady himself. He couldn’t afford to let Tixo find out. He signed back quickly, “I’m fine! Just reading.”Tixo shrugged, not sensing anything amiss. "Alright, just checking. You know, if you want to join me out here, I'm not watching anything important."Wei hesitated. Part of him wanted to stay hidden, but another part craved Tixo’s company despite the risk. After a moment’s deliberation, he decided to join Tixo, hoping he could keep his condition under control.As Wei walked into the living room, Tixo glanced up and gave him a welcoming smile. "Hey, there you are. Come sit with me."Wei forced a smile and sat down next to Tixo, careful to keep a bit of distance between them. Tixo, however, was his usual affectionate self and scooted closer, throwing an arm around Wei’s shoulders."What’s up with you today? You’ve been kinda quiet," Tixo said, giving Wei a gentle nudge.Wei’s heart raced at the close contact, but he managed to keep his cool. He signed, “Just tired, I guess. Nothing to worry about.”Tixo nodded, accepting the explanation without question. "Alright, just making sure." He settled back into the couch, his attention returning to the TV.They sat in comfortable silence for a while, but Wei’s resolve was slowly crumbling. The heat was becoming unbearable, and Tixo’s proximity wasn’t helping. He could feel his self-control slipping, and he knew it was only a matter of time before Tixo noticed something was off.Eventually, Tixo picked up on the tension. He turned to Wei, concern in his eyes. "Wei, are you sure you're okay? You seem a bit... flushed."Wei bit his lip, trying to come up with an excuse. Before he could answer, Tixo leaned in closer, examining him more carefully. The proximity was too much for Wei to handle, and he couldn’t suppress a soft whimper.Tixo’s eyes widened in realization. "Wei... are you in heat?"Wei’s face turned crimson, and he nodded reluctantly, unable to meet Tixo’s gaze.Tixo’s concern melted into understanding and a hint of amusement. "Oh, Wei, you should have told me. We could have figured something out together."Wei looked up, his eyes filled with both embarrassment and longing. He signed, “I didn’t want to make things awkward. But it’s really hard to control…”Tixo smiled softly, his affection for Wei evident. "Hey, it's okay. We're in this together, remember? Besides, I might be oblivious sometimes, but I'm here for you no matter what."Wei felt a wave of relief wash over him. He leaned into Tixo, grateful for his understanding. "Thank you," he signed, his hands shaking slightly.Tixo wrapped his arms around Wei, holding him close. "Anytime, Wei." He gently tilted Wei's chin up, looking into his eyes. "You don't have to go through this alone."Wei’s breath hitched, the intensity of Tixo’s gaze making his heart race. Tixo leaned in, their lips brushing together softly at first. The gentle kiss quickly grew more passionate, fueled by the heat Wei had been trying to hide.Tixo’s hands roamed over Wei’s back, feeling the tension in his muscles. He broke the kiss, only to trail his lips down Wei’s neck, eliciting a silent gasp from him. Wei’s hands gripped Tixo’s shoulders, pulling him closer.Tixo whispered against Wei’s skin, "Let me help you."Wei nodded, unable to form words, his body trembling with need. Tixo’s touch was both gentle and possessive, his fingers tracing patterns over Wei’s skin as he kissed his way down his chest.Wei’s head fell back, his eyes closing as he surrendered to the sensations. Tixo’s touch was driving him wild, and he could feel the heat building inside him, ready to explode.Tixo’s hands moved lower, teasingly slow, until Wei was writhing beneath him, his breath coming in ragged gasps. Tixo’s lips met his again, this time with a fierceness that matched the fire in Wei’s veins.As their bodies moved together, Wei felt the tension inside him reach a breaking point. Tixo’s name formed on his lips in a silent cry as the heat finally overwhelmed him, leaving him breathless and trembling in Tixo’s arms.Tixo held him close, their bodies entwined as they rode out the waves of pleasure together. When it was over, Wei lay in Tixo’s arms, his heart pounding and his body exhausted.Tixo pressed a gentle kiss to Wei’s forehead. "Feeling better?" he asked softly.Wei nodded, a contented smile spreading across his face. He signed, “Thank you, Tixo. I needed that.”Tixo smiled back, brushing a strand of hair from Wei’s face. "Anytime, Wei. Anytime."
