Work Text:
Saturdays were usually boring - Jaemin made sure his school work was finished so he’d have free weekends - most of the time, at least. This weekend was supposed to be spent the exact same way - until Jaemin’s phone rang - no one other than his academic rival Renjun on the other side of the line. He decided to pick up and tease Renjun - he hadn’t been in school for a few days already.
“Huang, calling me? After being absent for almost a week? Have you missed me?”
“Shut up. I really need your help!”
Renjun was hissing - his voice was weak as well, and Jaemin couldn’t help but feel a little bit worried. This was so unlike him, it was actually concerning.
“With what?”
“I- I lost my heat suppressants and couldn’t get new ones in time. Everything hurts, please just help me. You’re the only person who could.”
Jaemin’s breath hitched - it must be serious if Renjun was asking him out of all people, and it possibly was the reason he’s been gone for almost an entire week. If he had no help before he must be in immense pain - he probably didn’t even have enough groceries, or even got to eat.
“I’ll be there in a few.”
With those words, Jaemin hung up. He knew Renjun’s address anyways, as they still somehow ended up being oddly close despite being rivals - and Jaemin couldn’t bring himself to leave Renjun alone in such a dangerous situation. He quickly put some of his stuff in a backpack - rushing to his car. He decided that he should bring a few groceries as well - driving off to a store nearby to get those.
Renjun on the other hand was starting to regret his call more with each passing minute - he knew Jaemin wasn’t too far away and should’ve arrived a long while ago. Did Jaemin lie? Is he making fun of him? Did Renjun see him as someone he wasn’t? The thoughts were clogging Renjun’s brain - the pain from his heat making it even worse. If only he couldn’t think clearly during his heat.
The Omega jumped at the sound of knocking at his door - quickly getting up to open the door, which revealed no one other than Jaemin. Jaemin’s expression turned into a displeased one for a few seconds - right before he pushed himself inside and took his shoes off.
“Just how much pain are you in? The smell of rotten raspberries is insanely strong.”
“I’m sorry… what took you so long?”
“I got groceries. You should go shower, I’ll make food in the meantime.”
Jaemin quickly brought the groceries into the kitchen - getting them out in a hurry, only stopping when he heard the soft footsteps of Renjun get closer. He turned towards Renjun slowly - raising an eyebrow.
“I’m still in pain, Jaemin. Everything hurts too much.”
“Do you think it will settle a little if I scent you?”
Renjun froze for a few seconds - shrugging after a while. The suggestion wasn’t entirely bad - maybe it would help.
“Let’s try it out.”
It took a while for Renjun to shower - Jaemin was making food in the meantime, as he said he would. Now Renjun was sitting at the table - across from Jaemin, in one of Jaemin’s shirts to ease the pain a little more.
“Why did you call me for help?”
Renjun looked up from his food - slightly surprised by the sudden question. His cheeks got slightly pink before he looked down again - taking a bite from his food. Jaemin continued eating as well, his eyes trained on Renjun nonetheless.
“You’re the only Alpha I know apart from Jeno, and he has Haechan, after all. Besides, I couldn’t get your scent out of my mind the entire time.”
Jaemin smiled slightly at the statement - not noticing how Renjun started to fidget, as he concentrated on his food again. Renjun put his chopsticks on the table - staring right at Jaemin.
“How are you keeping yourself together so well? You didn’t try making a move on me even once, even though I am in heat.”
“Well, you asked for help, didn’t you? You’re in pain, probably feeling yucky and haven’t eaten for days. Before you can even do anything to make the heat feel better as a whole, you need to make sure you’re not going to pass out and that you’re comfortable. And I’m here to help, so I don’t see why I should only fuck you and leave you to deal with every single other need you weren’t able to get. Besides, it seemed to be the right decision, it smells a lot less like rotten raspberries now.”
Renjun flushed once again - quickly dedicating his attention towards the meal again, eating it as fast as he possibly could. Jaemin was a lot more caring Renjun had hoped for - it almost felt like Jaemin was his Alpha, and not just some Alpha he knew. He flushed even more at the thought - content with the warm feeling settling in his stomach. Jaemin was the best choice, after all.
Jaemin cleaned up after they ate - Renjun sitting on the side and watching, as Jaemin didn’t let him do anything other than that. Jaemin had also taken his nest apart to put everything on Renjun’s bed in the washing machine, as well as the bedsheets themselves. Usually Renjun would’ve protested if an Alpha destroyed his nest - but his entire bed was reeking of rotten raspberries and was starting to feel really uncomfortable, so Renjun let Jaemin do as he pleased.
After a while the entire flat stopped smelling like rotten raspberries - and Renjun himself felt a whole lot better. His pain was in no way gone, but with Jaemin’s scent on him as well as his clothes, and the fact that Jaemin simply took care of him, made it a lot more bearable than before. Renjun and Jaemin went to the bedroom together - looking at each other in silence for a while.
“Are you feeling alright? Ready to ease your heat?”
Jaemin seemed to genuinely care about whether Renjun was ready or not - and he couldn’t help but feel a lot warmer than before. Renjun nodded slightly after thinking for a while - surprised when Jaemin took his shirt off. He expected to see Jaemin naked - but he certainly didn’t expect Jaemin to be that muscular underneath the oversized clothes he always wore.
“Promise me to tell me if anything feels wrong?”
“Promise.”
Renjun couldn’t help but pull Jaemin in for a kiss - surprising the latter, yet he kissed Renjun back and he couldn’t help but feel more at ease. Both of them undressed rather slowly - adjusting their positions until Renjun laid on the bed, looking at Jaemin. Jaemin on the other hand looked at Renjun’s asshole - and Renjun couldn’t help but feel his cheeks heat up.
“You’re dripping already. Can I?”
Jaemin looked at Renjun - circling Renjun’s asshole with his finger when the Omega nodded. Renjun moaned quietly at the feeling - even more so when Jaemin finally pushed his first finger in. He got embarrassed at the noise it made - forgetting it immediately when Jaemin leaned down to kiss him.
Renjun moaned into the kiss when Jaemin pushed his second finger in - slowly moving them to stretch Renjun out. He was a moaning mess by the time Jaemin added a third finger - his face burning from how hard he was blushing. Despite all that, Jaemin was placing kisses on Renjun’s face and praising him softly.
After a while Jaemin pulled all of his fingers out - surprised when Renjun pulled him into yet another kiss. Jaemin kissed back slowly - watching Renjun in silence after the kiss. Both of them looked at each other for a while - until Renjun spoke up, blushing while looking away.
“Could we.. do it just like this? Without protection?”
Jaemin was caught off guard by the question - gathering himself as quick as possible to nod. Nothing could happen anyways. He kissed Renjun once again - lining himself up with Renjun’s asshole in the meantime. Jaemin’s tip pressed lightly against Renjun’s gaping hole - who pushed himself onto Jaemin before Jaemin could check with him.
Both of them moaned at the sudden feeling - Jaemin resting his face on Renjun's neck, scenting him once again. It took both of them a while to calm down fully - Jaemin starting to move slowly when Renjun seemed like he had adjusted to the feeling. Renjun moaned right into Jaemin’s ear as Jaemin groaned quietly - picking his speed up slowly.
“Feels so good- ah! Alpha..”
Jaemin kissed Renjun’s neck in response - thrusting slightly harder while holding Renjun close. It was awkwardly intimate - but it didn’t feel wrong in any way. The squelching sounds coming from Renjun’s omega slick should be disgusting, considering how lewd they sounded - yet Jaemin could only feel more turned on by it.
Renjun started moaning louder when Jaemin adjusted his angle a little - holding onto Jaemin’s arms tighter than Jaemin expected. The raspberry smell was turning a lot sweeter than before - making Jaemin unintentionally happy. Renjun was feeling better, he was feeling safe. Jaemin managed to make him feel safe.
The thought made a comfortable feeling of warmth settle in Jaemin’s stomach - even more so when Renjun moaned into his ear. Jaemin picked up his speed a little more while engulfing Renjun - satisfied when Renjun seemed to be completely taken apart by the pleasure.
“Please, knot me…”
Jaemin kissed Renjun’s cheek before coming - Renjun doing the same when Jaemin’s knot started to swell. Jaemin cupped Renjun’s cheeks - wiping the tears away that started flowing - Jaemin could only imagine it was due to the relief from the pain and unease he had felt the past few days.
“You did so well, Renjun. I’m proud of you.”
By the time Monday rolled around Renjun had finished his heat - leaving both of them to go back to college, as usual. Except, both of them got caught up in confused looks by the people who knew them and their antics, and Jeno’s surprised face - followed by disgust - when he greeted Jaemin.
“Since when do you help with Renjun’s heat? God, it’s basically reeking off you, was it that bad?”
“It’s complicated.”
