Chapter Text
Few things in life are easy for Yoongi, and his job as a waiter is not one of those. The only thing that makes it bearable is the thought of his shift ending. He has a weekly day off, but never any more than that, just two extra days during heats, taken out of his pay. So he treasures all the free time he can get, when he can set aside some money to save up for college and spend the rest on some sort of treat to himself.
Today, that means getting some coffee in the evening, and he already feels a lot better just standing in line inside the shop.
Hoseok's eyes are glued to his phone when he walks in, tapping away as he lets his friend know the publishing date of his newest article has been pushed back yet again, so he'd be free for the weekend. Right now he's really craving some fresh coffee though, and maybe a muffin or some cake too. Yeah, cake sounds nice.
He's so immersed and deep in thought that he doesn't pay much attention to his surroundings, and as he steps towards the counter, just so happens to accidentally walk right into something - or more like someone.
"Oh, shit," he mutters as he reflexively grabs said person's arm to keep him from falling, "Sorry, didn't see you."
Yoongi turns around with a tight smile once he's regained his balance, confirming that the voice belongs to an Alpha. "It's okay. Don't worry," he murmurs, his heart still beating fast from the startle.
Now that the Omega is facing him properly, Hoseok is stunned. He's pretty. From the way his lips are so pink and pouty, to his sharp eyes, all of his features are just so delicate and doll-like that it stirs something inside of the Alpha.
And there's no mating mark on his neck either.
Hoseok's whole demeanor changes as a huge grin spreads over his face, his grip around the arm loosening until he's just gently rubbing it.
"I hope you're alright, darling? Let me buy you a drink as an apology."
Yoongi tenses, inching his arm away and thinking about walking out as soon as he gets his coffee. "No, no, it was an accident. I'm okay. You don't need to do anything." He came here because he can afford it, there's no way he's letting a random Alpha pay for him, especially if he expects Yoongi to do something in return.
That's quite the strange reaction for an Omega like him, Hoseok thinks. But that's fine, he's already met cautious and timid ones before. So he gives him his most charming heart-shaped smile and changes his tactic.
"Oh, forgive me for being so straightforward, I didn't intend on overwhelming you. I'm Jung Hoseok, by the way. If you don't mind, at least keep me company for a few minutes, then?"
With a little bow of his head, Yoongi hesitantly agrees, doubting the Alpha will leave him alone while they're standing together. "Um. Min Yoongi. And... okay." Maybe it won't be so bad if he can pretend just enough.
"Lovely!" Hoseok notes at his agreement, before adding "Lovely name too, by the way, very pretty. Suits you."
Yoongi replies with a little "Thanks," appreciating the compliment as they move forward in line, despite still being on edge.
Hoseok's glad it's not as full as it often is at other times, because that way he can still faintly smell the Omega's sweet scent, almost disappearing within the smell of coffee and baked goods, but by now he can definitely tell the hint of honey and vanilla apart from the rest. "I'm hopefully not keeping you from any appointment, or something?"
It's a little funny, Yoongi thinks, how highly the Alpha thinks of himself. He wants to say the line, and his own choice of going to the café, is what's keeping him, but he doesn't exactly phrase it like that, shaking his head. "Not really. I just got off work and thought I'd swing by this place before going home."
"Well in that case, it must be my lucky day. Guess it wasn't so bad after all that I accidentally bumped into you, at least I get to spend some time with you." Hoseok chuckles, but lets him order his iced americano when the barista asks for the next customer.
He waits until the Omega has paid for his drink, and before moving on to his own order, cheekily adds "You can go choose a table, I'll surely find you."
Part of Yoongi feels like just walking out, but he ends up going along with what the Alpha said and sitting down at a table away from the bustle of the counter. He keeps his hands around his cup, a bit nervous, but also curious. He's never let himself get too close to an Alpha, but if he can get a nice chat out of this and then go home, he'll be happy.
"Say," Hoseok starts as he arrives a moment later, his own drink in his hand, "is this seat already taken? A sight like you has got to be waiting for a date to arrive, right?"
And before the Omega can even open his mouth to answer, he starts to chuckle, placing his cup on the table and sitting down. "Just kidding, just kidding!"
Yoongi blushes a little and brushes a strand of hair behind his ear, not really knowing what to say. He takes a sip of his coffee and returns Hoseok's smile, feeling a little better now that they're sitting. Still, he doesn't know what will happen when it's time to go, and he hopes the Alpha doesn't offer to walk or drive him home.
Hoseok watches him attentively, eyes following the way those pink lips wrap around the straw to drink, before he tears them away again and takes a sip of his own coffee instead. The caramel syrup is still sticking to the bottom, so he starts stirring with his straw as he tries to keep the conversation flowing. "So... You said you got off work, right? Do you have anything planned for the rest of the day? Or, like, just relaxing at home?"
Yoongi's tongue darts out to lick his lips before he talks, glad it's a comfortable enough subject to make the situation a little less awkward. Hoseok called it a date, but to him it's just sharing a table and conversation. That's all.
"Just relaxing, yeah. I'm too tired for anything else, but caffeine always helps. What about you?" he adds quickly, not wanting the focus to be just on himself.
"Ah, been a long day, huh?" Hoseok remarks, and then makes a vague gesture. "Sounds like about the same for me. I work as a writer for this newspaper and I just handed in my final draft of an article. They've had to rearrange the publishing schedule, but since I'm done already anyway, I'm basically free to just laze around until the next thing comes up... And then I just so happened to bump into the most beautiful Omega on my way, you wouldn't believe!"
As expected, he's trying to make the conversation about Yoongi again, too charming, but the Omega ignores it to instead comment on Hoseok's job after another sip. "So you're a journalist? Sounds fun. I've always thought it takes a lot of drive and creativity to do that."
Hoseok gives him an easy smile, amused by the way the Omega ignored his compliment, and then sits up a bit straighter. "Oh, yes. Well, my dad's a literature teacher, so the interest in writing has always been there. The thing with journalism though, is you have to stay very determined and assertive to keep your position. That's something I've enjoyed over the years, working my way up to make a name for myself."
Just like he's working his way into the Omega's pants, Yoongi notices. He also thinks about how nice it'd be to be financially stable, maybe to not work at all, as much as the more progressive Omegas would tell him that's not how it should be. But he's never been involved with an Alpha before, and he's not about to do it now either, heart-shaped smile and compliments or not.
Hoseok takes a sip of his coffee as he wants to give the other a moment to say something too, but when the Omega just stays quiet and attentive, he takes it as a sign to keep talking.
"So, yeah, I write mostly about historical and political stuff.. I don't know if you're interested in those things? To some it might sound a bit dull, so I really don't want to waste your time and bore you with it."
Yoongi honestly isn't interested in all that stuff, but he knows some people take it too seriously, and he hopes Hoseok isn't one of those just because he writes about it. Still, he'd like it if the Alpha kept talking instead of him, and he doesn't want to be rude.
"You wouldn't," he says with a little smile. "Tell me as much as you want."
Hoseok mimics his smile, glad the Omega slowly seems to be getting more comfortable. Looks like the ice is starting to break. If he keeps going, Hoseok's sure he can get him out of his shell soon.
"Because, well, that wasn't even the field I wanted to concentrate on at first, it simply just came up and worked out really well, you know. So, really, I'd get it. Do you like reading those types of articles?"
"Ah, well, not really? I just figure I'm not important enough to make a change, so why worry." Yoongi shrugs. Then he realizes he might have sounded too much like he hates how society is right now, and it might be true, but it's not typically something you tell an Alpha. All of them feel perfectly fine this way.
So his eyes widen as he struggles to say something else. "I-I mean... I know they talk about good things too, of course."
"No, no, don't worry," Hoseok says with a light chuckle, holding his hands up to show he's not taking any offense. "I know things always have two sides. There's never something entirely bad or entirely good. And always room for improvement. But... don't say you're not important enough."
His interest is getting spiked now though, and he pretends to ponder about something as he drinks, before making a little thinking sound.
"Now I'm curious. What things would you wish would change? Like, if you had the ability to change it overnight.."
Shit, Yoongi should've stuck to praising Hoseok. But... He does seem like a nice guy that wouldn't judge him too hard for having a different opinion, right? And there's no subtle way to change the subject or leave the café, so he opens his mouth. "I guess I wish I could have a better job, or enough money to go to college. And the, you know, um, the Alpha fights. That's scary." Specifically the one where an Omega's future is at stake, but he does mean all of them.
"No way, you're kidding, what a coincidence-" So that means Yoongi is one of those progressive rights activists. Then it's no surprise he's been this guarded and reserved the whole time. Though it seems like he isn't one of those loud, demanding ones, organizing protests and movements. Those are only annoying. This, however, is a nice challenge for Hoseok. He leans a bit more forward, and starts speaking in a more hushed tone than before.
"Okay, I have to let a secret out, then. I've been wanting to write an article about Omega oppression for ages now, I've always had the opinion that this needs to get some awareness. But..." he lets out an exaggerated sigh before he continues. "You know how Alphas are... You say you're pro Omega rights and they look at you like you've grown another head."
Yoongi is definitely looking at him like that right now. He's put up too many walls around himself, and mistook Hoseok's natural kindness for something else, but now he's so relieved this topic came up and he can stop being so rude. "Oh, that's... great. I've never told anyone before, it seems pointless. But... Thank you," he tells him with a bigger smile this time, happy to have been drawn to the café today.
"No need to thank me, I haven't managed to do anything yet. I've never had the courage to say this out loud either. It was always too... I don't wanna say risky, but definitely uncomfortable. Like, wow, excuse me for supporting Omegas." He rolls his eyes dramatically and then shakes his head while sipping on his drink to show his annoyance about the whole thing, before giving him a warm and sincere smile. "But anyway, I hope you don't think I want to exploit you for my job now.. I was genuinely intrigued by you."
Yoongi blushes at that, repeating softly "Intrigued?" And he wouldn't mind helping Hoseok write that article. Maybe he's getting ahead of himself, but if they were mated, he knows the Alpha would protect and support him.
"I mean, look at you, you're absolutely gorgeous!" Hoseok says as he gestures at him and laughs brightly. "But also an Omega who declined an Alpha's offer to buy them their drink, when usually they're so eager to appease them, and that's when I knew there had to be more to you than just your beauty..."
Yoongi feels so giddy, almost drunk off the Alpha's rich sandalwood scent, more prominent now that they've been talking for a while. And he wants to keep talking. "Thank you," he murmurs, hiding behind his drink. And then, because it all feels surreal, "You're handsome."
"Oh, wow, thanks," Hoseok giggles. "You're so adorable, Yoongi." He holds his hand out on the table, a silent offer for the Omega to accept this gentle touch, or ignore if he doesn't want to.
"If I'm honest, I've never seriously focused much on finding someone to mate and settle down with, but you kind of make me want to.." Hoseok confesses, more of an open statement than a pressuring question.
Yoongi looks up with big eyes, then down at Hoseok's hand, and slowly reaches out to intertwine their fingers, his heart racing. "Oh. That sounds nice," he agrees, knowing he'll probably never come across someone like Hoseok again. He always thought he'd take more time to decide if an Alpha was the right one, but all that doesn't apply to someone that's already confessed to being a supporter of equality. It's like he's being rewarded after struggling for so long, and he doesn't want to let this opportunity go. Would it still be too fast to kiss tonight?
Hoseok watches their hands all mesmerized for a moment, admiring Yoongi's broad, veiny one contrasting so nicely in skin colour to Hoseok's tan and skinny one. This Omega really is just beautiful in all ways possible.
Satisfied and encouraged with the positive reaction and answer he got, he fondly looks into Yoongi's eyes as he speaks again. "Lovely. Then... would you allow me to treat you for dinner? Please?"
Yoongi figures he can just return the favor on their second date, if all goes well, so he nods, still smiling, and when they've both finished their coffee and stood up, they keep their hands clasped together.
Hoseok feels like that's exactly how their hands belong, fitting together so perfectly, like they were just made for each other. As they stroll through the nearby park to just enjoy each other's presence for a bit longer, the Omega seems to be fully comfortable and relaxed already, their occasional conversation flowing lightly and naturally, just like when they later stop at a restaurant for dinner.
The food is great, but Hoseok thinks nothing will ever compare to the Omega looking at him with his incredible, sharp eyes, glistening in the warm glow of the lighting.
No one's ever paid for Yoongi since he moved away from his parents, and it does feel nice, coming from Hoseok. Everything does, and he's wishing the night could go on forever, but they eventually end up on Yoongi's doorstep.
It's pretty late, and the Omega would have accepted anything as an excuse to not separate yet. So they exchange numbers, and now there's really no delaying it anymore, unless Hoseok comes upstairs. But that would be too much, right? And a simple 'see you later' would be too little.
He wants to start being brave, so he takes a small step forward and tilts his head up, smiling when Hoseok takes his face into his hands and presses their lips together. Yoongi finds it's not enough, but it'll have to do for now, the warmth still spreading through him when he goes to sleep.
Days pass and then weeks pass and they progress from going on dates at every chance they get and texting each other nonstop whenever they can't meet, to basically seeing each other daily, the Omega practically half moved in already.
Yoongi falls in love fairly quickly, and his wish does get fulfilled. They have heated make out sessions where they get each other off, though Hoseok says he wants to wait to knot him until they're mated, to make it even more special. The Alpha's favorite thing to do is eat him out, the Omega's slick always just as sweet as his moans and honey scent filling the room. Or holding him close to his chest as he fingers Yoongi until he's delirious and crying and whimpering from overstimulation.
Hoseok also talks about choice all the time, as if the Omega would ever let an Alpha like him go. Besides all the sweet stuff, he always makes Yoongi feel so good, and he feels weirdly accomplished when he goes home with the Alpha's cum deep in his belly after sucking him off, or some part of his skin smelling more strongly of sandalwood than the rest of his body, amplified even more when he borrows a hoodie to sleep in.
Hoseok also promises him that, if Yoongi decides on mating him, he'll do anything to support his dream of getting into college, as that's still made more or less impossible for other subgenders to achieve, economically as well as socially. Some Alphas can be especially violent when they find out one of them believes Omegas should get the same rights and opportunities, but Hoseok assures him that there's nothing to worry about.
And one day Yoongi says he's ready. He wants to mate and move in for real, and be with Hoseok as much as he can. So they bring all his stuff to the Alpha's apartment and make plans to have the perfect night, which ends with them on the bed like it has before, though this time is much more special.
Not only is it the first day of Hoseok's rut, the first they'll ever spend together, but also the first time he's going to knot his soon-to-be mate. The Alpha has been on edge the whole day, but tried his best to keep himself composed enough to not growl at anybody getting too close to his liking, though his arm had always remained wrapped around Yoongi's waist in a possessive protective manner, and the two hours he had spent furiously scenting him in the morning did help greatly too.
Yoongi found the scenting endearing, and let his Alpha take his time, sleepily running his fingers through Hoseok's hair. He feels a little shy while they're outside, cause it's so obvious Hoseok isn't fully in control of himself, but it is nice to feel so safe from everyone else.
Once Hoseok has already gotten the both of them out of their clothes, the skin on skin contact makes him even more eager to finally knot his beautiful Omega beneath him, who wraps himself around Hoseok, keeps him close as they kiss. He knows he's already leaking, too excited to finally belong to each other, but the Alpha has never minded that anyway.
Hoseok's currently very focused on littering endless bruises and little bites all over Yoongi's neck down to his collarbones, so drunk on his alluring scent that's just getting sweeter and sweeter by the minute.
But he can't keep his hips from grinding down every once in a while, rubbing his achingly hard cock on the Omega's tiny prick to get some sort of friction and hear those addicting whimpers.
It's only for so long that he can stay patient though, and so he sits back to take in the sight of his Omega all splayed out for him, already looking so fucked out despite them barely having done anything, and he could go absolutely feral in that moment.
"Present yourself for Alpha..." he says, barely keeping his voice from dropping to a growl.
That's hot. Hoseok is hot, and Yoongi knows he's just being this aggressive because he's letting his instincts free, and because Yoongi himself is getting Hoseok like that. So he doesn't complain, just shakily turns himself over and hides his red face in his arms, keeping his hips in the air, close to his Alpha's face.
This time Hoseok does let out a small growl, and doesn't hesitate to bring his hands forward to grope the Omega's plump little ass, spreading those cheeks apart to get a better view of his hole. It's already dripping wet, the slick running down his perineum and making the Alpha's mouth water, and Hoseok instantly leans forward to lick it all up. He ends it with a kiss to Yoongi's tailbone, and then mutters, "So perfect. And all for me. All mine soon."
Then he starts kissing his way up the spine, until Hoseok's draped over the Omega completely, burying his nose in the other's neck as he ruts his cock over his crack and spreads the freshly leaking slick around.
"All yours," he confirms shakily, spreading his legs, so ready to finally feel his Alpha inside of him. He wonders if it's going to hurt, if Hoseok knows this position is the best to stay pressed together for a while, but he trusts him so much.
"My perfect mate," Hoseok murmurs, one of his arms wrapping around Yoongi's chest to hold him tightly when the tip of his cock catches onto the rim and he starts to press in slowly, careful not to hurt his Omega. Slick gushes out around him and makes the slide easier, and the Alpha groans at the delicious heat steadily engulfing him more and more, squeezing as the Omega's body tries to adjust to the stretch.
Yoongi's breath gets stuck in his throat, feeling so much fuller than he did with just fingers, and it doesn't help that his hole is desperately clenching around the intrusion. He tries to focus on Hoseok's rich scent and mouth and the fact that they're closer than they've ever been, and manages an "I love you."
"I love you too," Hoseok immediately says back. "Mine, all mine." And he means it, so endlessly in love with this perfect, stupid little Omega, presses more soothing kisses to his heated skin while pushing in until he's bottomed out and their bodies are flush together.
He gives him a moment to get used to being filled so much, and is equally as gentle when he pulls out again, starts a pace that's agonizingly slow and deep.
Yoongi appreciates the buildup, but he soon starts to get a little impatient, whining to get Hoseok's attention. He even bares his neck so the Alpha can see the one unmarked spot, pouting and pushing back against the thrusts. "Seokie, more..."
A devilish smile paints Hoseok's face, and he asks, almost mockingly, "Want more?"
Just all too gladly the Alpha complies and grazes his teeth over the exposed flesh, enough to draw the tiniest bit of blood, and a low growl rumbles through him as he suddenly rams his hips forward, each thrust so harsh now it moves the Omega up on their bed.
Yoongi feels pure bliss, letting himself be louder and weakly reaching out for one of Hoseok's hands, wanting to feel even more connected. He wants the knot and the bite, wants to be bound to his Alpha.
Hoseok is so glad to finally be able to let go of all control and give in to his natural instincts that are screaming at him to just claim and breed, claim and breed, claim and breed. The only thought in his head.
He leans back up to wrap his hands around Yoongi's waist instead and holds him so tightly in place that he's sure it will leave bruises on the pale skin, his protruding claws ever so slightly sinking into the flesh as he watches mesmerized how his cock disappears into the Omega with his every thrust forward. It spurs him on to go even faster, and another satisfied growl rips through him, so so eager to mate his Omega.
Yoongi understands much better now, how much every other Omega loves this, and he's so happy he finally found someone like Hoseok. This, added to the sheer pleasure he's feeling, makes tears spill down his cheeks, but he still wants more. Still wants to feel fuller, and be one with Hoseok, so he lets out a whimper that hopes to get them closer to that goal. "Alpha, please."
It sparks something deep inside of Hoseok, being addressed that way by his pliant Omega beneath him, and he can feel his knot starting to grow at the base of his cock. Drawing closer and closer to his release, the Alpha is getting more desperate as he chases it, and falls forward to embrace his mate again with an urgent groan muffled by Yoongi's shoulder.
Yoongi regrets it for a split second, when the assault on his prostate gets more frantic and he feels the kind of friction he felt at the start, when his walls were still getting used to Hoseok. And he thinks it's not going to fit, this was a mistake, he's going to disappoint his Alpha and he won't want to mate tonight, and he starts crying a bit harder, fisting the sheets but wishing he could be touching Hoseok somehow.
He's slowed the pouding down to more of a grinding when the knot is getting too big, before with one final thrust it catches on the rim, pink and puffy and stretched so incredibly wide, and then they're finally locked together.
It's in and Yoongi screams, it hurts, but they made it, he's being knotted, and he comes like that, tiny dick rubbed raw and sobs of "Alpha, Alpha," spilling out of his lips. So close now, just one bite and they can be together forever.
Hoseok growls when the sudden clenching around his knot completely sends him over the edge, forcing himself in as deep as possible to spill his load into him; nearly endless streams of cum having the Omega's tummy start to swell and making him think he's going to pass out. He never thought his stomach could possibly take so much cum, but he knows it's going to happen again and again from now on.
And the rest all happens on instinct. While he's still pumping him full of his seed, he sinks his fangs deep into Yoongi's neck, right where it meets his shoulder. The warm feeling of their bond forming jolts through his body immediately.
When the foggy feeling in his head slowly eases away as he's riding his high out, he starts to lick over his Omega's mating mark, cleaning the bite, happy and content.
And what Yoongi feels is indescribable. He's so happy and full of love, smiles through his tears as his Alpha keeps licking, must be so proud. He wants to say something once Hoseok's done, look him in the eyes and kiss him and wait together for the knot to go down, but his exhaustion is heavier and he falls asleep under his mate.
Hoseok is quick to catch him when he basically passes out, and carefully maneuvers them around so they're both lying on their sides. It'll take a while until his knot goes down enough to be able to pull out again, and he spends that time just holding his mate close and occasionally licking the biting mark, staring at it all fascinated. It's incredible how he himself can now feel the way his Omega is all blissed out in his sleep. His perfect mate.
He doesn't even wake up when Hoseok finally does pull out and cleans him up, just makes a few tiny noises and then unconsciously curls up to his Alpha's chest when Hoseok joins him again, falling asleep shortly afterwards too.
Yoongi wakes up in the morning feeling like he still needs many more hours of sleep. He feels sore all over, especially his ass, stomach, and neck, but then he remembers last night at the same time as he registers the Alpha's peaceful emotion, and he opens his eyes with a blush creeping up his cheeks. With Hoseok in rut, he knows he won't have to wait too much to get fucked like that again, but he hopes it's amplified through their bond. He's so happy, knows he made the right decision, and he's still so grateful to have met his Alpha so coincidentally.
He reaches up to lightly touch his fingers to his mating mark with a yawn, instantly feeling his heart swell with love. Hoseok stirs then, and Yoongi pulls his hand away, resting it on the sheets between them. This might be the only moment of peace he's going to get in the next few days, but he trusts Hoseok to always take care of him.
The first thing Hoseok does when he blinks his eyes open a bit is mumble a raspy "Mine." and pull his Omega closer to lazily scent him (as if he weren't already reeking of the Alpha anyway). His mate seems to be overjoyed and so warm with love, as he can feel, and Hoseok thinks things couldn't have gone any better.
When he's properly awake and staring into Yoongi's warm eyes, he simply says, "We're staying in today. Now that you're mine, you're gonna be good for me, right?"
