This one might be out there but like thinking nsfw and maybe angst(but happy ending) #kenkurotsuki omegaverse thoughts.

Kuroo and kenma are alphas and tsukki is an omega. Kenma and kuroo move in together once they both graduate and tsukki joins them when he graduates as well.

Kenma’s on the asexual spectrum, they don’t often crave sex but they’re not like sex-repulsed. They’ve had relationships in the past, and they’ve hooked up with people before. Their rut is abnormally short though, it only lasts two days tops.

Meanwhile Kuroo and tsukki have

Been dating since tsukki’s first year, and the two of them have a pretty above average sex life.

The three of them living together kind of solidifies their bond. They form a pack, unbeknownst to them.

One day, Kenma’s in pre-rut and they’re grumbling into their dinner because

It’s annoying to spend it alone even if it’s just a few days, and tsukki’s like asking them about it. Kenma’s like sex during my rut or like every so often is fine, it’s not like sex doesn’t feel good for them, but they’ll never be that alpha who’s constantly ready for their

Omega. That they don’t think they’d be able to help an omega through their heat and it’s too selfish to find an omega to help them with their rut when they can’t return the favor. And betas would be an okay alternative but a lot of betas didn’t want anything to do with ruts.

Tsukkis like maybe you should find an omega who’s already got an alpha, who wouldn’t mind sharing(half joking half serious) and Kenma’s like ha ha yeah right and kuroos like no wait he’s on to something.

The other two freeze. Kuroo continues.

‘If it was you, and I was in the

Room, I’d share Kei with you.’

He says it so nonchalantly it’s clear it takes his brain a second to process that he said it out loud, because when he looks up and sees both of them with bright red faces it clicks.

‘Oh! Uh like you know only if he wanted to. And if you wanted

To. I uh,’ he starts stammering out a reply as they try to process his statement.

‘I don’t think Tsukki wants you offering him to random alphas,’ Kenma chokes out.

‘You’re not really a random alpha.’ Tsukki chimes in, face red but contemplative. Now he’s the one getting

Gawked at by the other two.

‘You would want that?’ Kenma asks.

‘I mean, if Tetsu’s okay with it, I am. It’s an option at least. You don’t have to worry about my heats cause they always align with Tetsu’s ruts anyways.’ The other two are still just staring at him, but he can

See the gears starting to turn in Kenma’s head. ‘I don’t know why you’re acting shocked when you’re the one who suggested it-‘ he points at Kuroo. ‘And it’s a practical solution!’

‘Well. I guess the offer is out there, kitty cat.’ Kuroo recovers. ‘It’ll be like when we were

First presenting and fooled around, but better cause Kei’s there.’

‘I’m not touching you, it would just be Tsukishima. If I did it.’ Kenma shot Kuroo down, slowly beginning to eat their food again, thinking. ‘If we tried it this time, and I didn’t like it, would it upset you?’

They asked Tsukki. He thought for a second and then shrugged.

‘I don’t think so. No more than like a slight blow to my ego, but I’ll have Tetsu to build that back up.’

‘Baby, I’ll inflate your ego anytime,’ Kuroo winks. Kenma thinks to themselves again, silent for a few

Moments as they eat.

‘Would this time be too soon? Like in a few days?’

‘No, I can make it work. Tetsu?’

‘Yeah, I mean I’ll be able to go to most of my classes online since I’ll just be like a monitor. An observer,’ he joked.

‘Okay.’

With a plan set in motion, when

Kenma’s rut really begins kicking in, they text in their group chat alerting the other two. Kuroo makes it home first, and coos at Kenma’s curled up form in their bed, dragging in their provisions for the next few days. Tsukki makes it home next and pops his head in the room,

Seeing Kuroo sprawled in Kenma’s desk chair, watching some dumb video while Kenma is huddled under their blankets. He says he’s gunna take a quick shower first, but Kenma keens at his scent and the sight of him, so he abandons that plan, dropping his bag on the floor inside the

Door. He sits on the side of the bed, running his fingers through Kenma’s already sweaty hair. Kuroo watches from the desk.

‘You can back out if you want,’ kenma says as they lean into Tsukki’s touch.

‘I dont want. I showered after practice this morning, do you want me to

Shower again or no?’ Tsukki asks. Kenma shakes their head no and tsukki nods, pulling off the sweater he was wearing. He shoots one final look to kuroo at the desk, who leans back in the chair, but sends a reassuring smile. Tsukki leans down, pressing a tentative kiss to Kenmas

Mouth. They gasp, moving to rest on their elbows, giving them the angle to deepen the kiss. Things heat up quickly from there on, and it’s not long until kenma has tsukki down to his boxers underneath them.

It’s different, tsukki thinks, than when Kuroo’s in rut. Partially

Because neither one of them can hit their cycle without instantly triggering the others, so Kuroo’s rut is spent with tsukki half fucked out of his mind from the heat, and half from Kuroo’s constant knot.

This feels closer to when kuroo and him are just fooling around outside

Of their cycles.

(Oh warning tsukki has a 😻 in this)

He likes being conscious, feeling Kenma’s bulge grow until the press of it has tsukki soaking through his boxers. Kenma’s always been intense, and this isn’t an exception. He can feel the former setter’s eyes staring holes

Through him as his boxers are shed, tracking the way his slick sticks to his thighs as he spreads his legs to make room for Kenma.

‘Pretty,’ they mutter, in their own head, swiping a thumb through the mess on tsukki’s thighs. Tsukki can’t hold back a whine at that, even as

Kuroo barks out a laugh from the desk.

‘Careful, you compliment him too much and he’ll start begging for it.’

‘Shut up,’ tsukki hisses back at him but his attention snaps back when he feels the tip of Kenma’s cock brushing gently through his folds.

‘Can I?’ They hesitate,

Catching the tip on tsukki’s fluttering hole but not pressing in. Tsukki sends a silent thanks that his body responds so well to Kenma’s pheromones, readying him for Kenma’s knot even though he isn’t in heat.

‘Maybe you should-‘ kuroo starts to interrupt, most likely to make a

Comment about stretching him out, but tsukki shakes his head, silencing him.

‘I’m ready, please kenma.’ He drives his point home by reaching between the two of them, gently guiding Kenma’s solid length inside of him. When there’s no more room for his hand between them, he pulls

It back, wrapping it around Kenma’s back as he moans. Kenma shudders at the feeling, pressing their forehead to tsukki’s as they bottom out. With surprising control, they wait until tsukki tells them to move, and they start a slow but steady pace. It’s good, tsukki can’t hold

Back his moans as kenma fucks him. He makes eye contact with Kuroo once, holding it for a few seconds before he glances down, seeing how Kuroo’s tenting his own pants but making no move to touch himself. He looks back up to Kuroo’s eyes, and his boyfriend grins at him, winking as

He spreads his legs slightly.

‘Stop flirting with your boyfriend while I fuck him,’ kenma gasps, but tsukki can feel their knot starting to swell. He groans at the feeling, turning back to face the alpha on top of him.

‘Kenma, knot me. Please.’ He begs, feeling his pussy

Clench at the thought of being filled. Kenma hesitates.

‘I don’t wanna hurt you.’

‘I can take it, c’mon. You want to yeah? I want it too.’ His hands frame Kenma’s face, keeping their eyes connected. Kenma’s eyes flick between tsukki’s, finding nothing but reassurance and

Desire, so they nod, and the next thrust has tsukki keening. Slowly, kenma fucks their knot inside of Tsukki, until it locks into place. Tsukki can’t hold back an earth shattering orgasm at the feeling, clenching even tighter around kenma as they come.

The height difference

Allows for kenma to rest their head on tsukki’s chest, as they both come down. Tsukki barely registers kuroo fidgeting in the chair, lost in the haze of being stretched so far, until kenma groans and tells him to come join them on the bed. He jumps up and snuggles in next to

Them, kissing both of their sweaty foreheads, murmuring words of praise to both of them. Kenma’s knot deflates, and they reposition to their sides. Tsukkis in the middle with kenma curled around his back. Kuroo mentions a quick cleanup but the other two in the bed glare at him,

Demanding a nap.

The next time tsukki wakes up, it’s to kenma nosing along his shoulders, pressing tiny kisses along the way. He can feel the smaller alphas cock against him, and he shifts until kenma has access to him again.

‘Another round?’ He asks, trying to blink the

Sleep out of his eyes. Kenma nods against his back, taking advantage of the new position to slowly grind themselves between tsukki’s thighs. Kuroo goes to pull away, to retreat back to the desk but tsukki grabs at his shirt, feeling unusually clingy. They both freeze at that, and

Tsukki groans.

‘Is it too much for both of you if Tetsu stays here? Not involved, just here?’

‘That’s fine with me,’ Kenma answers.

‘My dick might explode but otherwise of course, baby.’ Kuroo jokes, but he presses a kiss to tsukki’s face anyways. Tsukki whimpers, pushing

Back against kenma.

‘C’mon, fuck me,’ he begs. Kenma obliges, sliding back inside him in one thrust. The combination of kenma thrusting into him from behind paired with Kuroo’s up close and personal praises are too much for tsukki, and he’s coming before Kenma’s even close to

Knotting him. Kenma slows down but kuroo shakes his head.

‘He can take it, kitty cat. Keep going, let him be a good omega for you.’ That’s enough for both of them, and tsukki comes again as Kenma’s knot pushes inside.

It takes tsukki until after the next round, early the

Following morning to realize what is happening. He’s sore but that’s to be expected after being knotted three times while not in heat, but it doesn’t stop below the belt. His scent gland is sensitive despite kenma not touching it once. He blearily looks around the room for

Kuroo, who is no where to be found and his heart drops for a second, immediately jumping to the worst, until kuroo pops back in with something small for them for breakfast. His omega trills at how good his alpha takes care of him, and then it clicks.

Kenma’s sat up beside him,

Disheveled and grumpy but eating the food. ‘I think it’s almost done, maybe one more wave later today and it should be out of my system.’

‘Damn that was fast.’ Kuroo muses.

‘That’s ah-‘ tsukki clears his throat, popping a strawberry in his mouth. ‘That’s probably for the

Best.’

They look at him weird, so he tilts his neck and gestures for kuroo to smell him. He does, and pulls back eyes wide. ‘Oh shit, your heats coming?’

‘Yeah, I just noticed it.’

‘Well shit. Kenma fucked a heat right into you, huh?’ Kuroo laughs. Tsukki clicks his tongue,

Pushing kuroo away. He turns to kenma to make a smart remark when he notices that they’re frozen, wide eyed.

‘I’m so sorry,’ Kenma starts but tsukki cuts him off.

‘Don’t be. That’s why Kuroo’s here, right? You don’t have to touch me once your ruts over, I promise.’

‘Yeah

Kenma, you fuck it into him, I’ll fuck it out of him.’ Kuroo laughs, almost choking when tsukki reaches out to push him off the bed.

‘Crass. Disgusting.’

Kuroo whines from the floor as kenma relaxes. ‘Are you sure?’

‘Of course,’ tsukki reassures them as kuroo mutters on

The floor, something that sounds like ‘disgusting he says, like he didn’t beg for that exact thing last time.’

Kenma’s predication rings true, and after one more time of knotting tsukki, they can feel their rut fading away. It’s timed out almost perfectly as tsukki can feel

His heat rolling in. Kenma helps him shower as kuroo goes to get their room ready, and they switch off. (Tsukki does end up begging on the third day, when his heats the highest and Kuroo’s rut is also in play, for kuroo to fuck it out of him.)(there’s also a lot of talk from

Kuroo about how perfect tsukki is, how he’s such a good omega providing for his pack(this does not click in either of their hormone driven brains)).

It goes like this: every three months or so, Kenma’s rut comes first. Tsukki helps them until it triggers his heat, which in turn

Triggers Kuroo’s rut. Kuroo stays with them while Kenma’s in rut, but once Kuroo’s kicks in, kenma only checks in once in a while, makes sure they both eat and tsukki takes his bc every night. It’s a weird system in society’s eyes, but it works for them. They’re happy, content.

Or so they think.

It’s been a few years at this point, Kuroo’s working full time and tsukki’s about to graduate, he’s starting for the frogs(pretend they’re in tokyo Shh), Kenma’s a ceo and a streamer. The only change in the routine is a bigger house though, now that kenma has

More disposable income.

And then hinata shoyo comes back to town. At one point, kenma had thought themself in love with shoyo, before realizing that no, they loved him platonically, not romantically. Still, kenma will always have a soft spot for him. And it’s not like hinata

Is trying to pry or break up the little pack, no one knows that they’re a pack. A few people know that tsukki helps kenma with their heats(yama, Yaku, yachi) but it’s not knowledge they spread around. Their business is their business. So when hinata insists that kenma go out on

A blind double date with him, kenma caves and agrees to go. They go into it with no expectations. They know it’s hard to find someone who will get them, and not be annoyed by their lack of sex drive.

But hinata insists that the other person knows and is okay with it, so

Kenma agrees. Tsukki and kuroo encourage them, and surprisingly they have a good time. Not surprisingly, hinata has set them up with his own alpha’s twin brother.

Osamu Miya, a beta. Proof that identical twins can have different presentations. He’s nicer than kenma expected,

And when he asks kenma for a second date, they say yes.

Things turn serious and kenma begins unintentionally distancing themselves from Kuroo and tsukki. They still live together, and they still hang out constantly, but with osamu in the picture, kenma cuddles him during movie

Nights instead of bickering with Kuroo over who gets to cuddle tsukki. They sleep over at osamus a few nights, when the beta can’t get away from his restaurant for too long, instead of having a permanent place in Kuroo and tsukki’s bed for their sleepless nights.

Kuroo and

Tsukki notice it, but not enough to say anything. It’s only normal when someone is in a relationship they spend more time with that person, and kenma is happy, which is all that matters. So when they’ve been dating a few months, and Kenma’s rut starts to creep back in, it’s only

Natural that they tell tsukki and kuroo that they can’t spend it with them. That they’ll spend it at osamus instead.

That’s fine, par for the course. Kenma spends their rut with osamu and while they have flashes of tsukki in their head as they do, osamu helps them through it.

When tsukki’s heat and Kuroo’s rut hit a few days later than normal, kenma still helps the two of them off and on. (Something they unconsciously leave out of the conversation with osamu. It’s nothing inappropriate, just bringing them snacks and checking on tsukki’s bc(tsukki

Always swears he’s going to switch to the shot to not have to remember that damn thing but always forgets when he’s out of his heat.))

Things are going well. So it comes as a bit of a shock when osamu sits kenma down one day, apologizing but breaking up with them. His ex, he

Says, from high school. They had never fully gotten over each other, and while he did care for kenma, he owed it to himself and suna(the ex) to give them another chance.

Kuroo and tsukki are more pissed than they are. (Kenma thinks deep down, they’re relieved. They liked

Osamu, don’t get them wrong, but he had made a comment a week ago about when the two of them had their own place, and Kenma’s stomach had curdled at the thought of leaving Kuroo and tsukki behind.) tsukki rants about suna’s volleyball playing(despite the fact that kenma knows

For a fact tsukki texts suna all the time, the two of them have a weird friendship) and kuroo makes unrealistic threats to them about getting onigiri Miya banned from the jva matches(as if there wouldn’t be a giant push back from half of the volleyball players themselves.) kenma

Tells the both of them that it’s fine, really. They agree to let it drop and things settle back into normal.

Kenma gets tsukki privileges for two movie nights in a row, claiming back tax. Kuroo pulls kenma to their bed when he finds them in the kitchen at 3 am, staring into the

Fridge because they can’t sleep.

When kenma feels their pre-rut symptoms coming in, they’re almost nervous to ask if they can go back to how it was before osamu, but tsukki walks into the living room one morning, sniffs the air, and asks kenma if they want help and if so, when

Do they need the two of them there. Kenma agrees, grateful that tsukki was able to pick up on it so quickly. It takes a few days to fully kick in, and tsukki is in the middle of a match when kenma feels it hit full swing. They ride it out, waiting for the match to be over before

They send any messages. When Kuroo and tsukki get back home to find kenma mid-rut, Kuroo scolds them for not telling them sooner.

‘You couldn’t have gotten here quicker anyways,’ he argues into his pillow as Kuroo bustles around the room.

‘I could’ve left the match,’ tsukki

Counters. ‘If you really needed me.’

‘I wouldn’t ask that of you.’ Kenma grits out, feeling unusually on edge. Tsukki hums, before shedding his shirt and crawling into bed with kenma.

Something feels off this time, not enough for it to be super noticeable, but enough that it

Sets Kenma’s nerves off.

It starts off fine, but before they can make it past heavy petting, tsukki pulls away, gasping. He scrambles backwards as the alphas freeze, calling his name as he throws open Kenma’s window, sticking his head out and gasping for air.

‘Kei? Kei are

You alright? Baby?’ Kuroo asks, standing back to give tsukki some air while kenma hovers on the bed.

‘Sorry i just. Give me a second.’ Tsukki replies. He takes a few more deep breaths of fresh air in, before pulling his head back in. His eyes are wide and his hands are shaking

Slightly.

‘Did I do something? Do you want to stop?’ Kenma asks, keeping their distance.

‘No. No. I don’t know what came over me, it was just a lot all of a sudden,’ tsukki frowns.

‘Are you sure?’ Kuroo asks, moving in closer to grasp tsukki’s hand in his.

‘Yeah. Yes.’

He stands and moves back to the bed, straddling kenma. ‘I’m fine, I swear.’

Not completely convinced, kenma holds back at first, until they lose themselves in it. Kuroo had a similar thought, and was staying close to tsukki. He had leaned against the headboard, and kenma just

Managed to move them so tsukki was laying on his back in between Kuroo’s legs, half of his body being supported by Kuroo as kenma sunk into him. Tsukki was clingier than normal to both of them, one hand refusing to let go of Kuroo’s hand while the other was buried in Kenma’s

Hair, keeping kenma close so he could pull them in for sloppy kisses as kenma fucked him.

Kenma was also affected, though they didn’t know by what or why. They couldn’t stop touching tsukki, hands running down his body, slipping between them to feel the sticky mess where

Kenmas cock was carving its place into Tsukki’s dripping pussy. When Kenma’s knot started to form, tsukki was begging for it.

‘Please, kenma, please, oh my god,’ fell from his lips, head thrown back in pleasure. Kenma couldn’t tear their eyes away from him, drawn to every whine

Every cant of his hips to draw kenma in deeper. ‘Want your knot, alpha please.’ Kuroo stiffened behind them and Kenma glanced up, concerned that tsukki had just called him alpha, that it would piss kuroo off. His eyes were dark, but he held Kenma’s stare.

‘Do it, kitty cat.

Give him your knot.’ He all but commands, and kenma falls over the edge, pushing their knot against tsukki’s walls, as the omega cried out below them in ecstasy, slick making a mess of the sheets as he came around kenma.

Tsukki starts to drift off almost immediately, kuroo

Threading his fingers through his hair and whispering praise to him. By the time kenma catches their breath, tsukki’s fast asleep, unaware of Kenma’s knot sliding out. The air feels heated, charged. They look up at kuroo, who’s got his jaw clenched as he looks at tsukki.

‘Kuro,

Are you…’ they start to ask, trailing off as Kuroo rolls his neck behind them.

‘I’m fine, but we have a problem.’

‘What?’

‘Kei’s heat.’ Kuroo says simply, carefully moving to lay tsukki on the bed so he can pull off his work suit.

‘It’s coming yeah? Like normal?’ Kenma

Questions, frowning. They didn’t see what the issue was, tsukki’s heat always came right after.

‘No, it’s here. I can’t tell exactly when it started, but that last bit? The begging like that? It’s his heat. I can smell it.’

Kenma froze, scenting the air. He was right, tsukki

Was already letting out his sweeter, heat pheromones. ‘I can leave. I can ride the rest of mine out alone.’ It physically pains kenma to say this, overcome with an urge to not let tsukki out of their sight.

‘Hm. You could.’ Kuroo agrees, stripped down to his boxers finally,

Crawling back into their bed.

‘Your rut is going to start soon too, right? You won’t want me around for that.’

Kuroo levels him with a stare, face forming a look that kenma can’t place. ‘No, I don’t think I would mind. Not for you.’

The admission rings throughout the room,

And kenma takes a few moments to let it settle in. ‘But,’ kuroo continues, ‘if you don’t want to help you need to leave before he wakes back up.’

‘Wouldn’t he be upset if I left?’

‘Probably. But it would be easier if you left while he was sleeping, before it gets too bad. Plus

I think he would be more upset afterwards if you forced yourself to stay when you didn’t want to.’

‘And if I wanted to? Stay?’ Kenma asks.

Kuroo’s silent again, thinking. ‘You could stay, but you’d be committing to staying until his heat was done, even if your rut finishes

First. Even with me here, staying until you were done and then leaving could be dangerous for him.’

‘If I stayed the whole time,’ kenma watches tsukki’s sleeping face, tucked into Kuroo’s bare chest. ‘How do we know who’s doing what? Like if we’re both in rut how do we know

Which one of us is like going to knot him?’

‘Well,’ kuroo lets out a low whistle. ‘Great question. I guess Kei would pick and we would roll with it.’ Kenma nods, not moving from his perch on the side of the bed. ‘I wish I didn’t have to rush you Kenma, but I’m pretty sure he

Isn’t going to be asleep for much longer. You gotta make the call.’

‘I want to stay,’ Kenma chokes out. ‘I’m just. scared.’

‘C’mere.’ Kuroo gestures to his other side, and kenma crawls across to flop down in the space made. ‘You don’t have to be scared of us. We’ll make it

Work, no matter what.’ He presses a kiss to Kenma’s forehead. ‘We care about you, you dweeb. We’ll figure it out.’ Kenma nods, content to lay next to Kuroo until tsukki starts to stir.

He groans, something unintelligible, alerting them to him waking up.

‘Hey baby. How are you

Feeling?’ Kuroo asks.

‘Bad,’ tsukki groans. He blearily opens his eyes. ‘Where’s kenma?’

‘He’s right on the other side of me,’ Kuroo assures him. Tsukkis eyes narrow.

‘Why are you talking to me like that? Your tone’s weird?’

‘Uh no clue?’

‘Liar.’ Tsukki sits up and he

Looks at kenma, and then back at Kuroo before it clicks. ‘Oh. I’m in heat? Already?’

‘Yep,’ kenma confirms.

‘Oh. Are you leaving?’ Tsukki asks, shivering as another wave starts to roll through him.

‘Nope.’

‘We’re gunna share you, that alright love?’ Kuroo asks as he rolls

Them until he’s pressing tsukki into the bed. Tsukki nods, gasping as Kuroo’s bulge presses in.

They do just that. They take turns(Kuroo, Kuroo, kenma, repeat) trying to help tsukki through it. Kenma’s rut ends long before Kuroo’s does, but tsukki’s heat takes forever to break.

After a particularly rough night, with tsukki almost inconsolable, sobbing as Kuroo milked orgasm after orgasm out of him until he finally passed out, Kuroo turned to kenma.

‘Thanks. I swear, his heats aren’t normally like this.’ His voice is tired, quiet to not wake tsukki up.

Kenma nods. ‘I know. It’s fine, I wanted to help.’ Kuroo smiles at them, and they both fall asleep on their own, exhausted.

When kenma wakes up next, they’re cold. They shiver, sitting up. They automatically reach towards where tsukki would be, but his spot is empty. Kenma

Frowns, glancing around until they notice a sliver of light coming from the closed bathroom door. The shower is running, and kenma assumes tsukki’s heat finally broke, and the omega needed to get some of the sweat off of him. They roll out of bed, pulling on some sweats as they

Stretch, popping the bones in their back. They knock on the door, but tsukki doesn’t answer. They knock again, and when there’s no reply kenma calls out that they’re coming in.

They see tsukki, sitting on the floor of the shower. Kenma shivers, stepping inside. ‘Hey. What are

You doing?’ They ask, gently, popping the door open

‘Needed to shower. To tired to stand.’ Tsukki replies, voice quiet and not making eye contact.

‘Okay.’ Kenma kneels down in front of the shower entrance. ‘Jesus, this water is freezing.’ They reach up to turn the water

Temperature up but tsukki whines, hand coming to grab their wrist.

‘I really don’t want to be hot right now,’ he says, which is when kenma notices the tear tracks trailing down his face.

‘Kei. Look at me.’ Tsukki turns his head, making eye contact for the first time since

Kenma came in the bathroom. ‘What’s wrong?’ Kenma sees his bottom lip wobble before tsukki turns his head away.

‘I don’t know. I feel awful, that was the worst heat of my life. It was even worse than when Kuroo and I couldn’t be together.’ He sounds so sad, kenma grits their

Teeth and braves the freezing cold water to scoot in next to tsukki on the shower floor.

‘Hey, it happens. It’s over now, you’re okay.’ They say, pulling tsukki into their arms as he cries. They hold him as he gets it out of his system, as they start shivering from the cold

Water seeping into their sweats, soaking their hair. Tsukki notices, and sniffles as they reach up to turn the water temperature up some.

‘Sorry. You don’t have to stay in here with me,’ Tsukki says, pulling back.

‘It’s fine. Do you need help washing your hair?’ Tsukki nods

And kenma helps, grateful that the water is on the warmer side now. When they’re done, and the water is turned off, Kuroo finally appears in the doorway. His hair is worse than normal, standing every which way.

‘Whashappenin?’ He slurs, yawning.

‘Shower. Grab us towels.’

Kenma demands and kuroo does. He hands kenma a towel, raising his brows as kenma peels off the soaked pants, but keeps his mouth shut. Kuroo wraps the other towel around tsukki, helping him dry off before leaning in for a kiss. Tsukki makes a face, pulling back.

‘Shower first,

Then come scent me?’

The day is spent laying around. Tsukkis heat is done, but he’s clearly still emotional and will go from being okay but quiet, to seconds away from tears. They both work through it with him though, giving him space to work it out. When it gets late, tsukki

Demands they all sleep in the same bed again, so they pile in together.

The next day tsukki insists on going back to work and practice, swearing that he’s fine. They let him go, because there’s no stopping him once his mind is set.

He’s on the edge all day, feeling extremely

Moody and lethargic but he pushes through, determined to have a good day. Practice goes okay, he’s glad it isn’t a match cause he’s not in his best form, but he still manages to hit most of his blocks. And then the coach tells them they’re all going to a team bonding at an

Izakaya nearby and he grumbles but texts Kuroo and kenma that he’ll be home late. They go and he’s sitting at the table freezing. He’s huddled in his hoodie but still shivering so Kyoutani takes pity on him and throws his jacket at him. Tsukki puts it on without a word and as the

Conversation around the table drags on, his eyelids droop. He vaguely hears the table whisper and giggle before kyoutani’s gruff voice is right next to his ear, telling them to shut up. Then it’s blissful silence as he falls asleep.

When he wakes up, it’s to a slightly agitated

Kuroo trying to gently shake him awake. He realizes he’s curled into kyoutani’s side, head on his shoulder. He jerks up, hand coming to his head as a flash of pain shoots through it. Great, a migraine. Just what he needs now. ‘Sorry,’ he rasps out to Kyoutani who shrugs, and he

Turns back to Kuroo.

‘Hi, love. Ready to go home?’ Tsukki nods, too tired to care how kuroo got there. They stand up and tsukki trades kyoutani’s jacket for Kuroo’s and they head to the door. Halfway there they hear Kyoutani call out behind them. They turn around and his eyes

are boring into kuroo, so kuroo tells tsukki to go wait outside.

‘Yes?’ He asks, harsher than he wants, but his alpha was not happy to see his omega curled up to him and wearing his jacket.

‘I don’t know what your deal is, but you shouldn’t have let him leave the house like

That.’ His voice is accusatory and Kuroo goes from annoyed to pissed.

‘What exactly are you talking about? Let him leave the house? I’m not his jailer, he’s an adult who can make his own decisions.’ He’s aware of the underlying snarl in his voice.

‘You know I can smell

Through scent patches right?’ Kuroo vaguely remembers tsukki talking about it once, one of the reasons Kyoutani had the nickname mad dog(besides the attitude) being his incredible sense of smell, going above what regular alphas and omegas could smell.

‘And?’

‘And he’s fucking

Dropping, idiot. Probably has been all day, but he kept himself busy so he didn’t crash.’

All of the fight leaves kuroo at his words, face dropping. ‘He’s what?’

‘You didn’t notice?’ Kyoutani starts but Kuroo’s already turned away rushing towards the door. He slams out of the

Door, muttering a quick apology to the couple he almost ran over to see tsukki leaning against the wall, chuckling at him before yawning.

‘Hi. Hey.’ He starts cautiously, stepping closer to him.

‘What’d kyoutani want?’ Tsukki asked, raising his hand for kuroo to grab it.

‘Oh uh just you know alpha stuff.’

‘Okay, alpha stuff.’ Tsukki rolls his eyes, yawning once more. ‘I’m so tired, I didn’t even do much.’

‘Oh baby, let’s get you home.’ Kuroo pulls tsukki as close as he can until the make it to his car, buckling him in and heading home. Once

There, tsukki drags his feet to their bedroom but pauses at the door, listening to the house. ‘Is kenma here?’

‘They’re streaming, should be done shortly. Want me to tell them to come here when they are?’

‘If you don’t mind,’ tsukki frowns, looking guilty.

‘Not at all.

Cmon, bed.’ He curls in next to tsukki, phone in one hand texting kenma to come to their room asap. Tsukki passes out quickly, still buried in one of Kuroo’s hoodie, when kenma shows up at the door.

‘Is this actually urgent?‘ they ask, phone in hand. ‘I just put up a brb screen

So you have a few minutes.’

‘Is it sponsored? Can you cut stream early?’ Kenma pauses at the urgency in Kuroo’s voice.

‘What’s wrong?’

‘Mad dog said he could smell Kei dropping, I want to call him to find out what the hell he meant but I don’t want to leave Kei alone.’

Kenma’s eyes widen slightly. ‘Give me five minutes.’ They leave, presumably to cut their stream off because they’re back within five minutes as promised. They trade off, and kuroo grabs tsukki’s phone to call Kyoutani.

‘Why aren’t you asleep?’ Kyoutani answers gruffly.

‘He is

Sleeping. It’s kuroo.’

‘What do you want now?’

‘You said he was dropping right? How do you know? He smelt fine this morning?’

‘I don’t know how to explain it, it’s like a metallic undertone to his scent. You can’t smell it?’

‘No. And listen I believe you, he’s been off

Since his last heat but I don’t..’ kuroo trails off. He was suddenly cursing the fact that stuff like this was never taught to the alphas in his school. ‘What do I do?’ He says, more out loud than to Kyoutani.

‘I’m not a fucking doctor, I don’t know. Try talking to him? See

Why he’s upset? Maybe it’s got something to do with his other alpha?’

‘I’m sorry, his what?’ Kuroo interjects, confused.

‘His other alpha.’ Kyoutani repeats, slower. ‘The one he always smelt like? Your other pack member?’

‘Pack member? I. Do you mean kenma?’ Kuroo’s mind is

Racing.

‘Jesus fucking christ, do you guys not know anything?’

‘How were we supposed to know we were a pack!’ Kuroo yells into the phone, seconds away from pulling his hair out.

‘Okay this is what you’re going to do. When he wakes up, you’re going to talk about it with him.

Then you’re going to go to a fucking clinic or something, make sure he’s okay. Then you’re gunna get a therapist to help you all work through your shit because what the fuck. If you or the other alpha fucks up our middle blocker, it won’t end well for you.’ Kyoutani hangs up.

Kuroo is too stunned to reply anyways, partly from the new information, and partly from the fact that he’s positive it’s the most words he’s ever heard Kyoutani speak.

He walks back to the room, silently setting tsukki’s phone on the desk to charge.

‘Well?’ Kenma asks.

‘I

Think he threatened to beat the shit out of us.’ He starts. Kenma just raises an eyebrow. ‘We’ll have to talk when Kei wakes up. He uh, he said a lot but basically he thinks the three of us formed a pack and that something is bugging Kei enough to cause him to drop.’

‘Oh.’

Kenma is quiet.

‘Yeah. Sleep now, kitty cat. We can talk in the morning.’

They do, after they have to bribe tsukki into having a conversation about it. Tsukki doesn’t flinch at kuroo telling him kyoutani’s suspicions. Kuroo accuses him of knowing he wasn’t okay and going

Off to work and practice, jeopardizing his health. Tsukki argues back that he thought it would get better, not worse. Kenma asks, gently, if tsukki knows what set him off. It takes a lot of cajoling but he eventually admits that he felt beyond guilty that kenma had to stay and

Help him with his heat even though that wasn’t part of the plan. That he realized the last time when kenma went with osamu for their rut that they had formed a pack, but didn’t know how to bring it up to kuroo or kenma. That he didn’t want to make kuroo feel like he didn’t love

Him, or trap kenma in something they didn’t want. Kenma says that when they were with osamu, half the time they were thinking of tsukki and kuroo anyways. That they can’t always guarantee to be physical but that they care for both of them, more than anyone else. That they want to

Be a part of their pack. Kuroo agrees, and then they demand that tsukki go see a doctor. Tsukki tells them to fuck off, until kenma says they’ll buy him a strawberry cheesecake on the way home and tsukki caves. (Kuroo grumbles that he’s been replaced as a favorite, and tsukki

Hits him with a ‘who said you were ever my favorite’)

The doctor runs some tests, and tells them that it looks like he’s on the mend. They set an appointment to follow up in a week, but he simply prescribes bed rest and scenting unless things take a drastic turn. Kuroo suggests

They follow kyoutani’s other advice and look for someone who can help them sort out what being in a pack means, and help them with that. Tsukki says Kyoutani can mind his own business but pulls up some possible people on google to call on Monday. Kenma announces that they won’t

Be streaming this weekend, and the three of them spend most of it in their living room, watching tsukki’s favorite movies(kenma almost made them change it when tsukki put on a cartoon about dinosaurs, thinking it was a joke, but ended up crying when the mother dinosaur died, much

To Kuroo’s delight. (They did veto it after the dinosaurs started singing in the follow ups, especially when tsukki mentioned how many sequels it had.)

They properly scented Kei for the first time, neck to neck, right after kuroo had scented him, and the room filled with all

Three of their scents, mixing together as they were always supposed to be.

End!!
