“The noisy one finally left.”
Su-ho threw a glance at the window where Yu-dam had departed, then gently pulled Da-woon into his arms. Whispering that now they could play just the two of them, he slowly loosened the blanket wrapped around the frail body.
“Your throat hurts, doesn't it? Want some water?”
He'd thrown up so much blood that the pain was only natural. Even though Yu-dam had eased the pain before leaving, Da-woon still let out faint, aching sounds.
Listening to those sounds, Su-ho picked up the wooden cask he'd brought along with the fruit. The round container, carved from wood, was used in the mountains to store water or food.
“Let's drink some water.”
He filled his mouth with the clear spring water from the cask and pressed his lips to Da-woon's. Tilting his head, he parted Da-woon's lips and let the cool spring water flow straight in. When he pressed down gently on Da-woon's tongue with the tip of his own, Da-woon slowly swallowed the water.
At the small gulp echoing from Da-woon's throat, Su-ho's breath sank heavy. Watching Da-woon through lowered eyes, he sucked away every trace of blood left in his mouth.
“Mmm...”
The inside of Da-woon's mouth was as much of a mess as the rest of him. When Su-ho's tongue gently rubbed beneath the ragged uvula and along the roof of his mouth, Da-woon flinched and threw his arms around Su-ho's neck.
“It's all raw.”
Whispering softly, Su-ho lifted his lips away, but Da-woon pulled his neck back down and pushed his own head forward first. Even sunk in unconsciousness, Da-woon's body instinctively detected the Alpha's scent.
It wasn't simply a reaction to pheromones that aroused the body. Every place Su-ho's tongue pressed and passed over, the pain faded, so Da-woon couldn't help but welcome the kiss.
The longer the kiss with Su-ho went on, the more new flesh sprouted over the raw spots, and even the stiffened muscles of his face began to loosen and relax.
Da-woon clung to Su-ho, his arms wrapped around his neck, frantically sucking down his saliva. Even without trying hard to draw it in, the thick tongue gathered up the saliva and pushed it down his throat.
The more Da-woon drank the saliva saturated with Su-ho's pheromones, the more he recovered. His missing fingernails didn't grow back, but at least the parts that were in close contact with Su-ho no longer hurt. Even the headache wrapped around his skull subsided entirely.
Thanks to that, his consciousness seemed to be returning bit by bit, and his tightly shut eyes slowly opened.
But the chestnut-brown eyes were still hazy. The unfocused gaze stared blankly at the large man biting down on his lower lip.
“Does it not hurt anymore?”
Su-ho kissed those hazy eyes and grinned. He'd confirmed for certain that his pheromones were beneficial to Da-woon. Seeing Da-woon regain his strength just from being in deep contact with him put his mind at ease.
He wanted to heal him right away. But thanks to his damn lack of power, it took time. There were no small number of limitations that came with it, either.
So if he wanted to heal him completely, there was only one way.
“Pretty thing.”
Su-ho laid the dazedly blinking Da-woon down flat. Then he climbed on top of him and covered the slender body like a blanket.
Aside from his hands, all of Da-woon's external wounds had vanished cleanly, but his tangled wavelength didn't unravel so easily. Even Su-ho knew that when an Esper's wavelength rose, it was dangerous.
Espers and Guides. They were beings far removed from the Beastmen, who were born with superhuman power by nature, but he'd learned about them since childhood.
When an Esper's wavelength rises, they go berserk. To prevent that, they receive guiding through physical contact.
But right now, guiding isn't working on this kid.
Thanks to staying glued to Da-woon's side the whole time while imitating a cat, Su-ho had a thorough grasp of his condition. That was why he'd stopped Da-woon from recklessly trying to head out to the field.
“I'm trying to make it so you don't hurt.”
Da-woon's blood-stained top fell to the floor beside the bed. After the top, his pants and underwear were stripped off too by the large hands.
Da-woon's cock, which had been hidden inside the tight drawers, was already standing fully erect. It was because, while kissing Su-ho, the blood had naturally rushed downward.
Su-ho's cock, erect even earlier, bulged with veins along the shaft each time it brushed against Da-woon's pale thigh. His lower body, drawn by instinct, pressed firmly against the inside of Da-woon's thigh. At that, Da-woon flinched and let out a hot breath.
Su-ho swallowed that breath as it came and spread Da-woon's thighs apart.
“Ngh...!”
The heavy, scorching cock pressed against Da-woon's perineum. As raw flesh met raw flesh, Su-ho's pheromones seeped even more vividly into Da-woon's body. At the same time, Da-woon's wavelength, which had soared to dangerous levels, began to lower bit by bit.
Having confirmed that his pheromones were beneficial to Da-woon beyond his expectations, Su-ho pressed their lower bodies firmly together and slowly thrust his hips upward.
“Ah, hngh...”
The shaft clung stickily, grinding down on Da-woon's cock and making it dribble fluid endlessly. Pinned beneath the large body, Da-woon moaned helplessly at the stimulation surging over him. Arousal filled the place where the pain had receded, leaving no room to recover his senses.
The body temperature of the slack-eyed Da-woon grew steadily hotter. Stimulated by the dominant Alpha's pheromones, his belly rang with a sharp, prickling sensation. It was a sign that his heat was beginning.
“Haah...”
Looking down at Da-woon, who was starting to give off a lewd scent, Su-ho picked up one of the sparrow feathers set at the foot of the bed. He swallowed the small feather whole in one go, and for a moment chewed over the last words Yu-dam had left behind.
Fate, huh.
Da-woon flailed his arm, searching for Su-ho. Catching the hand that reached for him and pressing a kiss to it, Su-ho gave a small nod.
That's right. It's fate.
The day he first stepped outside the mountains after being born, was there truly no divine hand in his meeting you? Su-ho, who believed in god, thought there had been.
We're fate. Fated to be mates.
“Hck...”
While Su-ho was convinced that Da-woon was his fated partner, Da-woon, who'd been kissing him, suddenly burst into tears.
At the same time, Su-ho released his lips and immediately lifted the lower body he'd been pressing firmly against him.
“Why are you crying? Did it hurt?”
Did it hurt because he pressed too hard? Worried that he might have misjudged his strength and ruptured Da-woon's cock, he dropped his gaze at once.
Fortunately, things were fine down there. Nothing had burst, and there was no bleeding. The pale-colored cock was just a little reddened from the friction.
Then what was he crying about? Worried, Su-ho peered closely at the crying face, but Da-woon lowered his head and buried his face in Su-ho's palm.
“Ugh, hng... hngh.”
Da-woon shed tears for a long while, his face hidden behind Su-ho's large hand. Even as he wept enough that tears leaked out from between the fingers, he clenched his teeth and held back the sound, as if by habit.
Watching the Da-woon who couldn't even cry freely, Su-ho first tried to sit up. At that, Da-woon hurriedly grabbed and pulled at his arm.
“D-don't... go...”
Forgetting even his gloves, he clutched at Su-ho with his bare hands, mumbling in a trembling voice. His body, filled with the heat of the cycle, was excessively hot.
Su-ho opened the hand of the Da-woon who needed him and laced their fingers together. After touching the fingertips he hadn't managed to heal and mending the wounds first, he wiped away the ceaselessly falling tears with his lips.
“Are you crying because it hurts?”
Da-woon shook his head.
“Then because you're sad?”
Hesitating, Da-woon dropped his unfocused eyes downward and moved his head up and down.
“Why are you sad?”
“...”
“What bastard made you sad? Tell me. I'll go give them all a good scolding.”
“...”
“You don't want to say?”
Da-woon parted his lips wordlessly for a long while, then, instead of answering, kissed Su-ho. Even then, clear tears kept dripping endlessly from the corners of his long eyes.
“Fine, if you don't want to, don't say.”
Su-ho withdrew cleanly and waited, letting Da-woon cry as much as he wanted. He diligently wiped away his tears, even blew his nose for him by hand, and stayed by his side.
Receiving that tender touch, Da-woon, who'd been crying for a long while, suddenly leaned his cheek into Su-ho's warm palm.
Both Ryu Tae-ha and Yeo-ul, who surrounded him, tended to have cold bodies, so the high body temperature was unfamiliar. Without even knowing whose hand it was, he kept wanting to lean into the hot warmth that melted away his pain.
“Haah...”
Rubbing his face against Su-ho's stove-like palm, Da-woon's breathing gradually quickened. As if the heat of the cycle was beginning to pool again, he even started to shift his hips little by little.
Rubbing his once-again-erect lower body against Su-ho's thigh, he instinctively sent out a signal for help. Su-ho, who'd been quietly holding him, responded right away to that small gesture.
“Are you done crying?”
Lowering his hand between Da-woon's lean, firm thighs, Su-ho caressed the erect flesh. The cock, as pretty in shape as his lovely face, smeared fluid onto Su-ho's hand and gave off a thick pheromone scent.
Su-ho's lower body, which had subsided a little while watching the sorrowful Da-woon, regained its vigor at Da-woon's sweet pheromones that resembled the scent of ripe fruit. Even though the scent was faint, being a recessive Omega, perhaps because it was Da-woon's, it brought Su-ho great stimulation.
“Hngh...!”
When Su-ho pressed the heat-pooled flesh against him again, Da-woon moaned and shifted his hips. Su-ho, closing his eyes for a moment at the pleasing sound before opening them again, this time guided Da-woon's hand to grip both their cocks together.
Su-ho's cock, twice the size of Da-woon's Omega one, couldn't even be fully grasped in one hand. Da-woon, his throat bobbing in a swallow at the overwhelming size, dropped his gaze.
The two cocks, wet with sticky fluid, differed in everything from size to color. Even the testicles hanging beneath the thick shaft were so excessively large they made Da-woon shudder.
His frame, his hands, and his feet were all big, but his cock was beyond all reasonable measure. Had Da-woon been in his right mind, he surely would have been horrified and fled. And even while fleeing, he'd have glanced back several times, unable to believe the size.
“Will this even fit.”
Su-ho too seemed to have a conscience, muttering in a troubled tone. At the low voice seeping into his ears, Da-woon hunched his neck and climaxed with his forehead leaned against Su-ho's broad chest.
“Ngh...”
Pausing his hand for a moment, Su-ho wrapped his arms around the panting Da-woon. Stacked atop the bed like one body, the sounds of their two hearts mingled wildly together.
“Ha, haah...”
Da-woon, breathing hard, looked down at Su-ho's lower body, which still hadn't come. The semen Da-woon had just spilled dripped and trickled down Su-ho's cock, erect to the point of looking painful.
The whitish semen, sliding down along the thick veins, soaked the pubic hair and ran all the way down to the testicles. Da-woon's chestnut eyes, following it, were swept up in arousal.
“Can I move?”
Su-ho, fingers laced with Da-woon's, pressed their foreheads together and whispered.
“If it's too much, rest more.”
The low voice, sunk quietly from suppressing his arousal, drummed against Da-woon's head and heart. Blood flowing along his quickened pulse began to pool in his lower body again.
Da-woon's body, his reason fled in the heat of the cycle, moved on its own.
His lean legs spread apart, and his trembling hand grasped Su-ho's cock and guided it downward. Past the perineum, to somewhere deeper.
Each time the hot flesh brushed against the intimate place, Da-woon's shoulders flinched and trembled. Su-ho watched him quietly, letting out only heat-laden breaths.
Without even having to apply force, the firmly erect glans headed toward the entrance leaking slick fluid, as if being sucked in.
