Steve had spent his whole life believing certain things about Alphas; they were aggressive and mean, domineering and commanding, taking up all the space in any room and expecting omegas to simply bow their heads and keep their mouths shut, and they never had patience for pups. Every alpha he’d ever gotten close to had simply proven this point, his father and Tommy being the prime examples. From what he’d been told, an alpha in rut was practically feral, they couldn’t control themselves and the omegas they spent it with were usually left bloody and bruised and exhausted.
All of this to say, Steve had strong opinions about alphas and had very little interest being anywhere near them.
Until he met Eddie, that is.
The older alpha was loud and certainly commanded the attention of everyone around him, but everything else about the man was so contrary to what Steve believed that he found himself even more suspicious of the man that was spending so much time with his pups. The little crowd of freshman loved to go on and on about how fun Eddie was, how quick he was to roughhouse with them but apparently he was just as quick to listen to them, and not just listen but show they he really heard them. He was occasionally pretentious and certainly aggressive towards those who looked down on him and his friends; Max had told him once that she was fairly certain Eddie was just making sure he was the target for bullies, rather than his band mates or the pups he had pulled into his orbit.
Despite it all, though, Steve struggled to trust his intentions, until he finally found himself stumbling into meeting the alpha when one of their sessions ran on long. He’d sat in the parking lot for nearly twenty minutes, and while he’d normally be happy to wait however long it took for them to wrap up - he might complain and pretend to be annoyed but he alway wanted his pups to spend as much time as possible having a good time - but on that particular day he only had a bit before he needed to get back home and sleep for his opening shift the next day.
He’d huffed out a sigh and gone inside, managing to get into the room they used without being noticed, and got to see with his own eyes the way the rambunctious alpha held court over his players. He was grinning wildly, constantly moving and putting on voices for characters, and Steve was surprised by the little warmth he felt growing in his chest for the goofy man.
That day had changed a lot for Steve, and he’d eventually found himself spending more and more time with Eddie, he claimed he just wanted to make sure the influence he had over the pups wasn’t a bad one, but really he knew he was just growing desperately soft for the man. He’d never met an alpha like him, joyful and carefree in a way that had Steve aching for him; it certainly didn’t help that he found the man so attractive and found his scent so warm and pleasant.
His own feelings came to a head one day when he’d actually been able to witness how Eddie put himself between the pups and anyone who wished them harm, the alpha had ended up with a black eye for his trouble and Steve couldn’t stop himself from cooing over him and pretty much insisting that he let him take care of him. That night had ended with Steve in the Munson trailer, holding an ice pack to the alpha’s bruised face, the soft way Eddie looked at him had been all it took to push Steve into finally kissing him.
It had been months since then, and the only worry Steve still had was his rut. Eddie was sharp and mean when they were in bed together, but never in a way Steve didn’t like, always fast to check in and stopping when Steve was overwhelmed, never hesitating to soften his edges and whisper pretty words while running soothing hands along Steve’s body. He wanted to believe it was a sign that he was wrong about what his rut might be like, but he’d seen plenty of omegas after sharing a rut with an alpha, and he couldn’t deny that he was terrified.
That didn’t stop him from offering to help Eddie through it though.
He was spending every night at Eddie’s until the rut finally hit, sometimes being a day early or late made it hard to pin down for sure, but he never minded getting to cuddle up in his alpha’s den. The day it finally came, he woke to sharp teeth around his shoulder and a whining alpha pressing against every part of him that he could reach; the surprise to Steve was that the teeth were simply holding him, there was no pressure behind it, and rather than sounding aggressive, Eddie simply sounded desperate and miserable.
Steve hesitated for only a moment before reaching back to tap on Eddie’s cheek, surprised when the alpha obediently pulled back, loosening his grip so Steve could roll over so he was facing the other. He was fast to wrap himself back around him though, pupils blown wide as he rubbed his face against Steve’s, a rumbling noise spilling out of him as he trailed his nose from Steve’s neck down over his collarbone until he reached one of Steve’s nipples, mouthing at it gently with another little whine.
It was easy to let his instincts take over, running fingers through the alphas hair and over his shoulders and back up to cup his face, “What do you need Alpha?”
Eddie whimpered at the title, rutting his hard cock against Steve’s thigh; they’d made the decision to sleep naked so they wouldn’t have to try to wrestle with clothes while Eddie was so out of it, and Steve found himself wiggling against the feeling of all that warm skin rubbing against his own. The sensation mixed with Eddie’s spicy scent had Steve getting wet fairly easily, especially with Eddie still mouthing at his chest, and he didn’t hesitate to gently entice Eddie to shift up so he was grinding against Steve's cunt rather than his thigh.
It only took a few strokes before Eddie managed to get the head to catch, sliding into Steve in a smooth motion and letting out little whiny noises the whole time. To Steve’s surprise, however, the alpha didn’t start fucking him; he moved until he was buried all the way in and practically collapsed against the omega, a pleasant rumble starting up again.
“Eddie?” He kept his voice low, not wanting to startle his surprisingly docile alpha.
The other simply smiled dopily up at him before rubbing their cheeks together, their lips met in a messy kiss, Eddie didn’t seem capable of much finesse and was drooling heavily to the point where Steve knew his own mouth and chin were likely shiny from it.
He found himself smiling warmly, “Oh, you're just a big puppy, aren't you?”
He was surprised when the words pushed Eddie into slowly fucking him, a pleased noise spilling out of him while he moved back to mouthing and nipping along Steve’s shoulders and down to his chest. He was vibrating with some kind of desperate energy, but he never got rough, not even like he normally was in bed; he was gentle and whiny and desperate, and Steve was pretty sure the alpha would do anything he asked of him.
He wasn’t shocked to find that the thought pushed a pleased little chirp out of him, the noise had Eddie rutting into him faster, still more gentle than he ever was. Steve pushed aside all of his previous worries and let Eddie chase his pleasure with his slow deep thrusts, reaching to pet through his hair and arch under him when his teeth caught just a little sharp against one of Steve’s nipples.
“That’s it, puppy, being such a good boy for me.” He whispered, pleased when he felt Eddie’s hip stutter against him before they managed to find their way back into a rhythm.
He’s not sure how long it really took for Eddie’s knot to start swelling, feels like it could have been five minutes or five hours, both of them trapped in their sweet little lazy bubble, until finally the alpha gave one last deep thrust and his knot caught. It didn’t stop him from grinding in deep, his whole body shaking and his forehead pressed to Steve’s sternum until Steve felt the warmth of his cum spilling into him, the feeling pulling Steve over the edge as well.
When he came back down, Eddie was a comforting weight pressing him into the bed, but his hips were still grinding in smooth circles, little shivers rolling through him from how sensitive he was.
Steve closed his eyes and purred, petting down Eddie’s back and enjoying the way the alpha rumbled back at him. Eddie had never spent a rut with an omega, so neither of them were certain how long it might last, but Steve felt a little bit like he wanted to stay in this little haze forever.
Whether he’d simply been wrong about alpha as a whole, or Eddie was just different from every other alpha in existence, Steve found he didn’t really care. He never planned to find out if other alphas were just as docile in their rut, he knew then and there that he never wanted anyone else in his life, he held his alpha tight against him and hoped to god he’d never have to let him go.
