They appeared to be happy. They fooled everyone since the day of their wedding that they were completely in love.

Truth was, Arthur was the only one in love. Alfred hardly paid him any mind. Alfred only kissed Arthur whenever they were public and it felt to Arthur like they only spoke in public as well.

Arthur believes he knows why.

Arthur may be an omega, but he was a poor omega. He wasn't sweet and submissive like most omegas. He couldn't cook and he wasn't pretty. The only pretty thing about his was his flawless, pale skin and emerald eyes. All people have ever seen were his flaws. Also, he wasn't a female omega. Arthur didn't have those plump, supple breasts or a lady's narrow waist.

Arthur constantly saw the King's baby blue eyes following a sultry omega maid. Her perfect skin, shapely body, large, round eyes. She was what Alfred wanted. But, he was now wed and had a Queen to share his bed. All he could do was stare and imagine.

But that was more attention than Arthur had ever received. The only touches or looks he got were in public. Where people were watching, waiting, expecting.

It's been two years since their marriage and the kingdom is wondering when their Queen is going to produce an heir.

Arthur wishes he could answer, but Alfred may never approach him while in heat, like he's been doing. Alfred always stays in another room while Arthur is in heat in their room.

How Arthur wished to change this neglect. How he wished for Alfred to at least look at him how he looks at that maid.

So, Arthur came up with a plan. The King wouldn't be able to shove aside his sexual desires forever. He was an Alpha, and no Alpha can resist an Omega's heat. They all fall victim.

Arthur felt dirty thinking about using his heat to get attention from his King, but how else? He's tried talking, going on walks through gardens, dinner, breakfast, everything.

Talking wasn't going to work. There was no way waiting was going to work. Arthur prayed this would work.

He loved Alfred. Alfred just didn't love him. He wasn't a good omega- he knows he's not. But, maybe Alfred at least loving him sexually would be enough. Maybe seeing Alfred's lustful eyes rake over his body instead of the maid's would be enough.

Arthur knew it may not be enough, and he knew Alfred may never love him romantically, but he needed at least one touch, one look, one kiss that was behind closed doors.

So, for the days leading up to his heat, he covered up the signs. Arthur used scented candles and flowers to cover the scent and fought the urge to build a nest.

Then finally, it started.

Arthur was leaning back against the wooden headboard, reading a book with Alfred beside him reading over paper work and treaties.

Arthur felt the surge first and bit back a whine. He closed the book and set it on his night stand.

Then Alfred caught a wiff. Just a small one. His brows furrowed and he set his papers aside. "Arthur?" He sniffed again and his eyes widened.

Before Alfred could hurry out, Arthur whined and squirmed on the bed. "Alfred~!" He moaned, tugging on his own clothing and kicking the covers off.

Alfred was already standing, eyes wide as he gulped. He was frozen in place, the scent becoming stronger and more tempting by the second.

"Alfred..." Arthur moaned again, more airy than previously.

Arthur's eyes followed Alfred's cautious steps around the bed. Once he reached Arthur's side, he stopped. Alfred's brows knitted together and he reached out. Arthur gasped and jolted, Alfred's fingertips brushing over his ankle. Arthur raised his leg and bent it closer to himself. Alfred reached again, his fingertips more than brushing over skin. He placed one knee on the bed, distributing his weight onto the knee as his fingers trailed up Arthur's leg. Arthur let out breathy sighs and moans, Alfred's hand caressing the inside of his thigh.

"Alfred~."

Alfred leaned closer. "Such smooth legs," he murmured, kissing the outside of Arthur's thigh.

The Omega whimpered, fingers curling in and tugging on the sheets. Alfred continued to caress and tease Arthur's thigh and used his other hand to take of Arthur's remaining piece of clothing.

Excitement bubbled through Arthur. This was the first time Alfred has seen him naked. "Al-Alfred..."

Alfred hummed, smiling slightly. "So this is what those flowers have been for. You've been hiding your pre-heat scent."

Arthur whimpered, Alfred's fingers teasing his skin. Alfred pressed his face into Arthur's thigh and breathed in. "Do you want me, Arthur? Do you want me to touch you?"

"Y-yes." Arthur sighed, tilting his head back. "Please, please touch me..."

Alfred chuckled, lifting himself onto the bed and in between Arthur's legs. Arthur willingly spread his legs for Alfred.

The King raised himself onto his knees and tugged off his shirt. Arthur shuddered eyes raking down Alfred's torso. Arthur reached up and traced his fingers over Alfred's abdomen. Alfred leaned down and pressed his lips to Arthur's.

Arthur moaned, Alfred's warm hands gripping his waist to pull him closer. His fingers curled through Alfred's hair, wrapping his legs around Alfred's hips.

"Alfred." Arthur gasped when the Alpha pulled away.

"Is this what you want?" Alfred whispered, lowering his head to Arthur's neck. Arthur nodded. "Then I'll give it to you."

Arthur didn't think his plan would work much once his heat was over, but Alfred was actually... There.

Alfred was smiling at him, would sneak in a few kisses and talked to him. Arthur could not stop smiling. He just felt so happy that Alfred was actually seeing him and talking to him.

If it was possible, two years after their marriage, Arthur was falling more and more in love. Arthur saw Alfred look up at the maid, smile and thank her, then look away. He's occasionally glance at her, but he'd catch himself and turn his gaze elsewhere.

For the next several months, Alfred stayed with Arthur during heat and noticed more. He'd begun bringing Arthur presents and kissing him sweetly. Alfred treated Arthur like his Queen... Finally...

"Alfred?" Arthur stepped through the open doors and into the office.

Alfred looked up and grinned. "Arthur!" He opened his arms and beckoned Arthur into them. Arthur slipped into Alfred's lap and rested against his chest. "What is it? Something wrong?"

"No, nothing's wrong." Arthur fiddled with Alfred's cravet. "I just... I discovered something."

Alfred hummed. "Yeah? What is it?"

Arthur looked up at Alfred and smiled. "I... I'm with child."
