AN: Hello prompter, this is my first fluff kaisoo ever, i'm not sure if it meets your expectation but hopefully you could enjoy the fic
Jongin got hit by a ball to the face several times that day because he kept blanking out, missing so many good opportunities to make a goal. His soccer team mates cursed at him for being so clumsy these days. They just don’t know what’s happening. Why does he keep on falling and randomly sliding down at very specific moments? Jongin wanted to cure this, but there’s nothing much he can do. So he clenched his fists and encouraged himself to talk to Chanyeol about his problem. Chanyeol, hopefully, would know what to do with Jongin's situation. But Chanyeol almost choked on his own spit when Jongin told him.
Jongin is in love with Kyungsoo.
“I don't know but I really like Kyungsoo,” Jongin blurted out. Chanyeol was dumbfounded for a moment. “But he hates alphas, doesn’t he?” Jongin's shoulders slumped hopelessly.
“What have you done to...hm, approach him so far?” Chanyeol asked.
“I stare at him without saying anything for two hours. He often helps out at the college library, right?” Jongin smiled sheepishly. Chanyeol remembered that Kyungsoo told him about a weird kid who kept following him and staring at him without saying anything, often crashing into bookshelves when he was about to leave.
Chanyeol had never seen Jongin like this. The entire college student body thought of him as this cool and attractive rookie from soccer club. But now, look at him all giggly by himself and so hopelessly in love. “Alright, do you want me to introduce him to you?” Jongin's eyes widened.
“Really? Do you think he would be fine with that?”
Chanyeol nodded reassuringly. He already set up a plan in his head anyway.
Chanyeol doesn’t get why Jongin would want Kyungsoo as a mate when there are so many omegas and betas willing to become his mate without him putting too much effort.
Why did it have to be Kyungsoo.
“Oh, and consider this; start talking to him, okay?”
Jongin looked like he was having a little mental breakdown but agreed to Chanyeol's sugggestion anyway.
//
Kyungsoo was everything that an omega should be and yet, everything one should not be at the same time. Contrary to popular belief about omegas, Kyungsoo knows how to stand up for himself. He knows how to fight, speak up about something he doesn't like, and say no when he means it. But being an omega, which is traditionally the lowest in the hierarchy of roles, Kyungsoo can't help but think that it was obvious how most people still believe omegas are supposed to be submissive to the upper roles of the hierarchy.
Kyungsoo is an omega and he's a pretty one. Smooth and pale skin, cherry colored lips and dark doe eyes, and as if being pretty in the face wasn't enough, he is also blessed with his rather small body and full hips. There are so many alphas who approach him just for a little taste, but Kyungsoo wanted none of them, because what those alphas meant when they 'approach' him equals to being inappropriate and is sometimes borderline sexual harrassment.
Kyungsoo doesn't like alphas. He doesn't like the status-quo and he lets anyone know how much he hates them. He bit an alpha kid back in kindargarten who dared to touch him without consent. He slapped another at the age of fourteen because the alpha tried to harass him. And other time,recently, he violently elbowed one more for groping his butt. Even just the thought having such wolves touch him is nauseating enough already, let alone having them mark him or anything further than that. Kyungsoo would rather stay being mateless for the rest of his life.
And with that thought settled in his mind, Kyungsoo swore that no alphas or betas were impressive enough to ever get intimate with him. Let alone become his actual mate.
//
The weird kid was there again, just like any other day. Kyungsoo just pretended he didn't see anything unusual.
Kyungsoo noticed him walking around back and forth, as he looked at the books and then at him. Kyungsoo also noticed how the boy would mouth something inaudible once in a while but perhaps it wasn't directed at him. So Kyungsoo let the boy be, resuming his job of rearranging the returned books back on their shelves.
It's not the first time he saw that boy around anyway, even though he couldn't recall since when the boy had started to come around. Kyungsoo had always been busy with his part time job helping in the library. But Kyungsoo let him be since he's harmless - based on how he behaves so far.
“OKAY, SO-” Kyungsoo jolted in surprise at how the boy almost yelled at him, so Kyungsoo immediately turned his head. This boy has never actually talked to him before, “Uh...I mean...b-books...wanted to borrow...homework?”
Kyungsoo frowned, ”Excuse me?”
“B-biology books, I mean!” the boy squeaked. But nothing seemed clear enough to help Kyungsoo know what the boy was trying to say.
“I'm sorry but could you be more specific? It would help me find the book faster for you,” Kyungsoo patiently explained. But the boy just stood there stiffly and stuttered some other sentences before he turned away. Kyungsoo heard loud thuds as books fall from a shelf. The boy had apparently crashed into one of the shelves again, the books falling upon him.
Kyungsoo just sighed and tried not to judge. It's always been like this anyway. That guy was probably just nervous.
//
“But seriously, though, going outside and being in a crowd wouldn't be that bad!” Jongdae teasingly patted Kyungsoo's back, “It will be an amazing experience! Believe me!”
Kyungsoo have faith in Jongdae but not this time.
Kyungsoo, being someone who need his solitude most of the time find it very unbelievable that Kim Jongdae, a close friend of twenty years of breathing, suddenly offered him to go watch soccer practice. It's unbelievable because first, Jongdae knows exactly that Kyungsoo isn't one to be into sports. Second, because he hated crowds, and third, for his constant comment about how soccer is just a stupid game about twenty players trying to possess a single ball from each other. It makes no sense, and Jongdae was supposed to be already familiar with his commentary, but he wanted to bring Kyungsoo anyway. Baekhyun would also be there, but being in the same place with those two at the same time was basically a bad idea.
Kyungsoo already had a set plan once he is seated later; he will either read comics or sleep, but pretty much the former one. The game had started the moment both of them arrived, so Jongdae tugged his sleeve slightly to quicken their pace. The first thing Kyungsoo noticed is the green field and the twenty stupid players that are already chasing after that one ball like a life goal. He just got himself arranged in his seat when he heard the audience cheer after one goal made by someone who looks rather familiar. He narrowed his eyes and nudged Baekhyun, “Who's that?”
“Which one?” Baekhyun said. Kyungsoo pointed at the boy who made the goal earlier. But instead of an immediate answer, Baekhyun gasped instead.
“So now you're starting to get interested in alphas or something?!”
“If I tell you that you had a nice pair of shoes does that mean I wanted to fuck your shoes?”
“Aw, I was just joking!” Baekyun playfully pushed him, “He's Kim Jongin, and since you've been ignorant to your surrounding, he's the star of the soccer club. I happened to know him because of...” Baekhyun looked around and Kyungsoo noticed how he bit his inner cheek. “Because he's Chanyeol's friend!”
Kyungsoo leaned forward slightly and he became certain that Jongin boy is the same boy from the library few days ago. Kyungsoo assumed that the boy probably only had poor balance and that's why he kept falling or crashing randomly against other objects but looking at him now, running around the field, makes Kyungsoo wonder if Jongin's imbalance might be...a seasonal thing.
Kyungsoo kept looking at Jongin and didn't realize that Jongin caught a glimpse of his presence between the audiences. Kyungsoo just keep on watching and noticed how Jongin, suddenly out of nowhere, started falling with nobody around him. Furthermore, he kept missing opportunities to make another goal. It's either an out or the ball was just an easy catch for the goal keeper.
Practice ended with two versus one, with Kim Jongin's team as the loser.
//
“That was strangely terrible,” Baekhyun commented towards Chanyeol.
Chanyeol only shrugged, “It's just practice, don't sweat it! And- oh! Hi, Kyungsoo! You actually watched our practice, huh!” Chanyeol waved his hand. He then eyed Jongin, who somehow looked as if he shrinked upon hearing that Kyungsoo is near. Jongin seemed distant, either that or he's just hesitant to start a conversation with Kyungsoo, who's supposedly familiar to him. If Kyungsoo listened carefully, Jongin actually muttered a faint ‘hi’. Chanyeol glanced at Baekhyun for a second before he almost violently smacked Kyungsoo's shoulder and laughed, “Anyway! This is Kim Jongin!” and Chanyeol grabbed both Jongin's and Kyungsoo's hands to shake each other.
“This is not our first meeting, right?” Kyungsoo smiled a little, trying to tone down his intimidating aura,, usually used to protect himself.
“Y-yes,” Jongin stuttered, but his eyes looked glazed at how Kyungsoo's hand is touching his. Both Baekhyun and Jongdae nudged each other's side while trying to muffle a laugh.
“And Jongin likes you,” Chanyeol nonchalantly added, nodding a few times. Kyungsoo, out of reflex, let go of Jongin's hand and glared at Chanyeol for spitting such random nonsense. “I'm kidding, Kyungsoo! Don't kill me, I still wanted to live and see how my pups would looked like.”
Kyungsoo turned to Jongin again and smile apologetically at him, and Jongin just scratched the back of his head and grinned sheepishly.
“It's nice to meet you, uhm, Jongin,” Kyungsoo finally said, and something felt weirdly nice but he ignored it.
//
His name is Kim Jongin. And the next thing Kyungsoo heard about him was a compliation of what Jongin was known for; a purebred alpha, a year younger than him, a soccer team rookie, came from a well-off family, and apparently is quite popular in their campus. Rumor has it that a lot of betas and omegas wanted him but he would always disappear into the void whenever he's surrounded with unwanted attention.
And today, Jongin showed up again at the library, like usual, “G-good afternoon,” he stuttered.
“Hi,” Kyungsoo responded casually, “Have you taken a good rest since yesterday?”
Jongin somewhat blushed, “Ye-yes, of course, yes,” he replied.
“Do you need help with anything?” Kyungsoo asked. Jongin shook his head but also nodded. Kyungsoo giggled. “Well, suit yourself and keep silent, okay?” Kyungsoo said. Jongin just shyly nodded and walked among the shelves. His one and only urgent reason to be in the library was to see Kyungsoo anyway.
//
“Find anything relevant?” Jongin almost jumped up when he felt Kyungsoo close to him, and narrowing the space between them still. His brain quickly attempted to look for an excuse why he stays around in the library for a long time when really, he actually just wanted to see a certain person.
“Yes, I-uhm, have finished my homework, so I guess I'll just read another book until the next class,” Jongin randomly reached for a book his hand could reach.
“Cactus 101? You're into that topic?” Kyungsoo asked when he saw the book Jongin grabbed. “But that one doesn't really have good explanations, unfortunately, but if you don't mind, I could recommend to you something better,” Kyungsoo reached to a shelf behind Jongin, not realizing that Jongin could smell his scent even bolder with such little space between them. Jongin felt like he could almost drown in Kyungsoo's scent because it was just so intoxicating.
Kyungsoo handed him a book, and somehow they end up talking about cactus. Kyungsoo absolutely oblivious that Jongin is almost bursting from happiness. Because Jongin can see Kyungsoo even closer, listening to his voice clearer, and able to communicate with him for real.
For Jongin, it felt like a dream. He always thought Kyungsoo must be his mate - from the moment he saw him talking to Chanyeol and figured that Kyungsoo is Chanyeol's friend. But Jongin didn't have the guts to get closer because Kyungsoo hated alphas. He knew that, and Jongin is the most mellow and pessimistic when it comes to crushes, even more when the crush is Do Kyungsoo.
And Jongin is an alpha. He assumed Kyungsoo already hated him, even now, without saying anything. Jongin knows Kyungsoo is a well-mannered person, though. He would never be rude to someone who doesn’t give off any sign of bad intentions towards him. Unless the other one is being aggressive to him, he wouldn't do anything. And so just the simple sentence of 'let's have another conversation like this next time again' made Jongin feel like he's in cloud nine already.
For now, it's enough.
That's how Jongin began coming to Library even more often every day.
Kyungsoo doesn't mind the friendship. He doesn't mind being with Jongin.
//
“Say, are you two dating each other?” Jongdae asked while they walk through the hallway. Kyungsoo abruptly stopped.
“What are you talking about? Who am I dating?”
“Jongin,” Jongdae replied nonchalantly.
Kyungsoo shook his head, “No, he doesn't like me that way.”
“But he sees you like you're a planetarium, a sky full of stars!” Jongdae countered.
“No, no, it’s nothing like that,” Kyungsoo said quickly, but Jongdae only scoffed at him. “What?”
“Aren't you going to be in heat soon?” Jongdae grinned.
“And I'll be fine just like how I always have been. Stop saying weird things!”
Jongdae just shrugged and chuckled.
//
Kyungsoo blamed Jongdae and his mouth. He was okay up until two hours ago, but now he felt weird towards Jongin -but maybe it’s because of hormones and Jongin is an alpha? What the hell. Kyungsoo told himself. So that day, he tried to avoid Jongin as much as possible. They said ‘hi’ to each other and Kyungsoo busied himself with work instead of accompanying Jongin like usual.
That is until he almost screamed when he felt a hand pass by his side, a familiar scent enveloping him that somehow made Kyungsoo even more aware of Jongin's presence. “You surprised me,” Kyungsoo tried not to look at Jongin.
“Sorry, I just wanted to return this book to its place,” Jongin said. Only then did Kyungsoo notice how Jongin was looking down at him. The alpha has a pair of beautiful brown eyes, defined jaw and his lips. Kyungsoo is repeatedly telling himself no no no. But he can't ignore it, because a part of him wanted Jongin, too.
Damn hormones.
“Can I be honest with you?” Jongin still had his gaze on Kyungsoo. “Chanyeol wasn't joking back then...”
Kyungsoo tightened his grip on the book in his hand.
“D-do you want to be my mate?” Kyungsoo's eyes widened. This is too sudden and alphas normally won't even ask first if they found their mate. Alphas would just claim him like a property. Kyungsoo's lips trembled, his mind is a mess because he just doesn't know what to respond. Unfortunately, the moment a proper sentence was ready to come out of his mouth, Jongin has already stepped back and hit himself on the head.
“Sorry, I know I shouldn't have said that,” he laughed awkwardly before turning away, “I-I have to practice now! S-see you!” he quickened his pace until Kyungsoo couldn't see him anymore, and a loud thud gave the sign that Jongin must have crashed into a bookshelf again, leaving Kyungsoo alone and confused with his own thoughts.
That's the last time they seen each other because the day after, when Jongin came to the library, Kyungsoo was nowhere to be found. Jongin didn't ask around why Kyungsoo wasn’t around, and rather believed in his own conclusion that Kyungsoo must be mad at him and chose to avoid him now.
//
Being in heat was never this terrible before, and Kyungsoo wondered why.
His body felt weird all over. It felt like he’s burning up, hot with a strange pressure below his stomach. The heat suppressant, somehow, just won't work this time. It's been like this for three days, and there are still another four days to face before this is finally over, but it felt too damn long now.
Kyungsoo has already tried everything. He touched himself, jerked off and fingered himself, but nothing seems to be enough. He needed something more, he needed-
He needed Jongin so badly. However, he tried not to consider it as an option.
Kyungsoo finally calmed down a little even though not entirely. Now he's hungry and craved something else aside from getting knotted. So he walked to the fridge and found a note his mom pasted to the door that there's some leftovers if he's hungry. Kyungsoo just remembered his parents went on a trip since this morning and won't return until the end of the week. But Kyungsoo just doesn't have the appetite for leftovers, so he grabbed a bucket of ice cream instead, dropped himself on the sofa and turnned on the television. Until somebody came to ruin his time and started ringing the bell repeatedly. Kyungsoo wanted to ignore it at first, but the person - maybe the mailman, seemed so persistent.
So Kyungsoo walked to the front door, peeked out through the small peeping lens and saw it wasn't a mailman.
It's Kim Jongin.
But of all people, why would Jongin be the one to show up? Why not his goddamn beagle trio friends who already knew how Kyungsoo looked like when he's a mess? Kyungsoo inhaled deeply, hand hesitating for a moment around the doorknob before he finally decided to say hi to the person outside. He tucked his shirt a little and briefly brushed his hair with his fingers and opened the door.
“Hi,” Jongin grinned as he scratched the tip of his nose. “How are you? You weren't around these days and when I asked your friends they said you are probably sick right now...so, uh, I asked Chanyeol for your address,” Jongin explained. Kyungsoo's hand is still on the doorknob and he almost freezed where he stood. He just took his suppressant a while ago, so the effect is supposed to still linger so Jongin, hopefully, won't feel anything when he's around. “Kyungsoo...?”
Silence fell between them since none of them is certain of what to do. Kyungsoo just told himself that he needed Jongin so bad earlier and now that the person himself showed up in front of him, he felt the urge to avoid Jongin at all cost. “...Are you feeling better now?” Jongin asked him again, Kyungsoo softly shooked his head. Jongin looked hesitant, and his legs almost brought him to turn away, but stopped from the words that came out from Kyungsoo's mouth.
“Do you want to come in?”
Jongin gulped, “Only if you don't mind.”
Kyungsoo really just dug his own grave.
//
Something about being around Kyungsoo this time made Jongin walk a bit wobbly, as if to take his sanity away. But Jongin clenched his fists tightly and tried to fight off any strange urges and walked in to follow Kyungsoo. “Uhm, I know I've asked you already, but since...you didn't answer me yet...are you feeling better now?”
“I actually just...caught cold! Yeah, got a fever a few days ago, but I'm alright now!” Kyungsoo forced a laugh, and immediately stopped when he felt a hand on his forehead.
“But you're still a little...warm,” Jongin murmured.
Kyungsoo can feel that his heat is coming on again with that one single touch that was not even remotely suggestive. “M-Maybe you should go to bed...do you...do you want me to make you something...? I'm not a great cook, but I know stuff to make that can make you feel a bit better -learned it from soccer club training camp, yeah.”
Kyungsoo can feel his head become dizzy and it wasn't out of hunger. His heat is coming on again and maybe he should already just tell Jongin to go away or else-
“Kyungsoo? Your face is red...am I making you uncomfortable? If so, then I'll-”
But Kyungsoo didn’t want Jongin to go either. So he asked him to stay in a non-verbal way.
Kyungsoo kissed Jongin on the lips. His hand squeezed the front of Jongin's shirt as the younger one's pupils dilated. Because nothing felt real at all.
Jongin's lips felt soft and warm, they fit perfectly against his lips. And as soon as Kyungsoo pulled away to see Jongin with his hazy eyes, breathing uneven, the omega has decided that he no longer cares. He wanted Jongin. He wanted them to become mates. So he let his body do whatever it wanted, circling his arms around Jongin's neck and whispered, “Mate.”
Kyungsoo knows how fast it escalated, but he's too lost in lust to care. So Jongin, his rut being triggered by his omegas's heat, kissed back with the same desire. Jongin pulled back only to see Kyungsoo's face all flushed with his plump lips parted slightly. From those abused lips, gasps came out when Jongin licked and inhaled the scent from the crook of Kyungsoo's neck. His hand sneaked in below and under Kyungsoo’s shirt, the tip of his fingers tracing Kyungsoo's nipples. This rewarded him with whimpers and moans that he wanted to hear more of, getting addicted to it. Kyungsoo leaned his head to the side, giving Jongin access to mark his skin all he wanted. Jongin followed what his instinct told him to do.
But Jongin knows this is probably just because of Kyungsoo’s heat. Kyungsoo might atually not really want this, and Jongin would hate himself if he would force Kyungsoo into doing something he didn’t want. So with much difficulty, Jongin slowly pulled away, making Kyungsoo whine over losing skin contact. The omega pulled Jongin back to him but the alpha tried to resist.
“Why...why are you denying me...?” Jongin heard Kyungsoo sob.
“B-Because...you don’t actually want this...”
Kyungsoo's eyes are getting hazy, he understood what the alpha said but he doesn't accept the refusal. Jongin said he wanted them to become mates, and right now Kyungsoo wanted Jongin, so why is he still saying things like forcing Kyungsoo into doing something against his will? Why is Jongin being so ridiculous? How will Kyungsoo make him get that?
So instead of saying anything anymore, Kyungsoo pushed Jongin so the alpha is layed down on the sofa. He kissed Jongin's lips one more time, lips tracing down Jongin’s neck and exposed tanned chest, down to his toned abs and the full hardness on Jongin's crotch. Kyungsoo unbuttoned the younger’s jeans and zipped down his fly. Kyungsoo has never done this before, and so he only kissed the tip of Jongin's cock before licking the shaft experimentally.
Jongin instantly grunted, he tried to hold on and not come too soon, but Kyungsoo’s inexperienced blowjob, slow and curious combined with the older’s pretty lips around his cock, made him come so fast he almost facepalmed himself out of embarassment. However, that doesn't mean Kyungsoo is done with him. It's so easy to get an alpha hard again when an omega is in heat right in front of it, so Kyungsoo had Jongin hard in a moment’s time He straddled Jongin's lap and rode the younger’s cock that slid in smoothly into his self-lubricated hole, first slow then to a faster pace. Not in his wildest dreams would Jongin have ever imagined about this. Even now that the real thing is happening right in front of his two eyes, he still finds it unbelievable.
Kyungsoo came with Jongin following a few seconds after. Both of their sticky and sweaty body cling to each other on the narrow sofa. Soon, Kyungsoo regained his sanity and wanted to slap himself for his impulsiveness. But he noticed Jongin's face, the alpha looked guilty and stared at him apologetically. So Kyungsoo leaned up a little and kissed Jongin's eyelids.
“Don't mind it, okay?” Kyungsoo murmured, “I wanted this too, if not more than you.”
“S-so, mate?”
Kyungsoo smiled, lips brushing against the tip of Jongin's nose, “Mate.”
Jongin blushed over Kyungsoo's treatment of him. He chuckled awkwardly, and wished he could show his affection naturally without any shyness towards Kyungsoo. He wished he could be as good as when he is playing soccer when it comes to this relationship, but Jongin is more of a physical type of person, so he guessed it's better to put more attempt to showing affection in a way he can do his best.
So he reversed their position, arranging Kyungsoo on all fours, ass up facing him. Kyungsoo looked back at him, but Jongin already dipped his head between Kyungsoo’s ass and licked the puckered hole. Kyungsoo couldn't help but moan, another wave of heat came through again. He doesn’t intend to tell Jongin to stop.
//
Meanwhile, in a far away spot, behind the bushes, there are two betas and one omega with binoculars aimed at Kyungsoo's house's window. “Oh, look,” Chanyeol said, “Second round. We won, Jongdae.”
Jongdae glanced at Baekhyun as he moved his hand towards him, palm up, “So, fifty bucks?”
Baekhyun grumbled, as he opened his wallet to get the money he promised.
“You'll see, I'm going to win our next bet!”
