The Sum of Our Parts

Chapter 8

Six months into their new life and both Kageyama and Hinata were both off suppressants. Hinata had found a way to do independent odd jobs online in order to make money. It didn't pay a lot, but it was certainly more than nothing. It also gave Hinata something to do with his time — other than workout constantly to burn off his energy — which in turn, helped his mood.

The both of them slowly got better about controlling their emotions so as not to flood a room with pheromones. Kenma was amazingly patient about the process, and they ended up buying him a lot of dinners and fancy alcohol out of guilt. He certainly didn't complain.

What loomed over all of them, but wasn't spoken about, was Hinata's heat. It would happen eventually, and they needed to be prepared for it. However, Hinata was loath to talk about it. He found the topic extremely embarrassing, and complained that losing control of his body wasn't something he wanted to obsess over.

As much as Kageyama didn't want to push Hinata, they couldn't ignore it forever, and pretend it wouldn't happen. So Kageyama quietly collected things they may need, and educated himself further on the details of an omega's heat. Specifically, male omegas' heats, for what little he could find on the topic.

Information varied greatly, so Kageyama concluded it was a personal experience, and they would just have to see what happened. Thankfully, he'd been at his job long enough to be able to apply for days off for his rut. There was no way, as young as he was, that he'd be able resist falling into rut when Hinata went into heat.

Kenma was the first to point out Hinata's preheat behavior. Kageyama had let the actions slip by unawares, so he was grateful that Kenma was helping them out. Hinata vehemently denied that his actions were out of the ordinary, but Kageyama knew that was irrational.

Hinata was slowly feeling warmer to the touch. He was clingier, and wanted skin to skin contact the moment Kageyama walked in the door. Dirty laundry ended up piled around the bed, surrounding Hinata in their scent, though he protested to just being lazy about cleaning. Hinata was also wearing Kageyama's clothes throughout the day, claiming they were comfier because they were baggy on him.

Kageyama informed his boss of the upcoming heat, and they made arrangements. A week later, Hinata could no longer deny it. The worst of it would last three days, and that was how long Kageyama had off from work. Kenma decided to also spend a few days visiting Kuroo during that time.

Things had started out fairly well. They fooled around such as they always did, but after a short rest, Hinata wanted more. He was completely insatiable. At first, that seemed perfectly fine to Kageyama. Three days full of sex was every man's dream, right?

Well, things started to get a little more out of sorts as time went on. Kageyama's rut built up slowly inside of him, and it made his skin uncomfortably tight. His balls ached from where they were in overdrive, producing a lot more ejaculate than normal in his body's biological desire to breed. This made him both tired and restless, as well as frequently hungry. It was an odd thing to feel in the middle of his lust addled state.

Hinata was in much the same condition. Thankfully, Kageyama had prepared easy to eat food, as all the articles had recommended. They took a break every couple of hours to eat and stay hydrated.

"My body aches like we've been practicing while sick and horny all at once," Hinata pouted.

"Mm," Kageyama found words to be difficult in the best of times, more so now. Hinata didn't particularly seem to mind, distracted as he was by his own body's issues.

They were still naked, and already hardening after their last round. Kageyama was propped up against a wall as he sipped from a water bottle. Hinata was sprawled on the floor, surrounded by the empty containers.
