Soft

The next day, Felix repeats the process. He makes sure the rooms cool, he replaces Seungmin's towel to keep his temperature low, he relaxes with Seungmin in his hold while the omega is knocked out.

After Nurse Nina showed up, she checked Seungmin's state, claiming it was a regular syncope combined with the intensity of his orgasm, assuring Felix his omega was alright. Nurse Nina also informed him that Seungmin was going to wake up once his body succeeded at keeping his fever at bay. Unfortunately, that could take days, or hours. Neither of them knows exactly when, and it scares Felix, even if it is reassuring to be told Seungmin is perfectly safe.

On day 3, Seungmin awakens, exahausted and sweaty. Felix can't help it, when he notices the other stirring he bounds across the room with a beaming smile on his face, waiting patiently for the omega to fully open his eyes.

"Hello, my angel omega. How pretty you are when you sleep."

Seungmin blinks a couple times where he is on his back, nearly completely buried in his makeshift nest. When he makes a move to get up, Felix sits by his side, cradling him by his waist and the back of his neck, pulling him into a sit up position.

"Take it easy, I'm sure you're sore." Felix chuckles smuggly, he positions the omega to sit back against the headboard of the bed so he can pad over to the fridge, grabbing the oversized water bottle he had for occasions such as now. When Seungmin is awake and needs to stay cool and hydrated.

"Lots of electrolytes in here. Drink up." Felix tells him. He knows Seungmin only half understands him, especially with how his chocolate chip pupils are still clouded by lust and want, raking over Felix's naked torso as he sips from the water bottle the alpha holds for him. As he slurps the liquid down, he thinks about the alphas huge cock locking inside him. Nothing more nothinig less, his mind simply chanting the same word in repetition.

'Knotknotknotknotknotknotknot.'

"I see that look on your face. No more sex until we get you in the bath, and feed you." Felix tells him, the omegas dead face immediately breaks, he whines loudly, suddenly turning his head away from the straw of the cup, stubbornly closing his eyes and mouth.

"Seungminnie. If this were a normal heat we could fuck as much as you want to. I enjoy being inside you." Felix defends, pouting right alongside the omega. Seungmin looks back at him with an adorably angry and irritable look of disbelief that Felix's heart constricts at.

"I do! I like having sex with you, but we have to keep seizing to a minimum. So we have to be careful. Right now, what's best is to give you a cool bath and get some salt in your system. You've been asleep for nearly 3 days."

Felix knows the other is delirious with heightened arousal and fatigue, but he also knows Seungmin is intelligent and strong, and that even under the spell of heat fevers, it's partly useful to try and reason with the omegas logical mind, which seems to be always trying to function even when his thinking is supposed to be dormant. Seungmin is a strong omega though, with powerful resolve. That much has been proven by his 2 years defying everyone's judgement on taking law classes, and his ability to bargain during heat, when most omegas wouldn't even be able to beg vocally in a manner that's understandable.

"Seungminnie. Alpha promises to knot you as many times as you want if you just shower, eat, and finish your water. Yeah?"

It's embarrassing to have to gentle parent your crush into complying with you, but if that's what works for Seungmins omega, who's driving the boat in the younger mans head right now, Felix will do it a thousand times over.

Eventually, Seungmin complies, allowing Felix to feed him the rest of the liquid, feed him one of the pre cooked meals he made, and get him into the shower. It takes a bit, with Seungmin delirious and unable to move. Felix does the moving for him, as well as the feeding and the cleaning, all while Seungmin steadily loses consciousness, his body in a constant battle with both his pots and his heat.

Day 4 is a bit harder, Seungmin seizes, twice, in one day. One of the times, felix panics anf freezes for a moment, watching with trembling hands as Seungmins eyes roll back in his head, and he stops responding. He quickly calls in the nurses, who storm the room like the swat team as Felix standing in the corner of the space, shaking.

He's ashamed of himself to say the least, but Nurse Nina assures him that it doesn't mean Seungmin isn't safe with him. She says it's completely normal for significant others to freeze up the first time they witness a seizure. It helps Felix feel less useless, but he still scared himself a damaging amount after he snapped out of his stupor.

The second time, he's much more prepared, quickly taking action and moving Seungmin to the floor, clearing the area of anything that could hurt him and turning him on his side. He sets a timer, calmly watches with a rabbiting heart as Seungmins twitching starts, quickens, and finally slows to a stop. He checks his heart rate, records the event and waits patiently for the younger to come back into consciousness.

Throughout their time locked in the heat room, they go through a lot. The pack comes to visit a few instances at all different times of the week, checking on Seungmin and seeing how Felix is holding up. Seungmin seizes, he faints, he cums, he cries. Time and time again. And during each occasion, Felix is there.

He changes Seungmins towel, what feels like a million times.

He changes Seungmins clothing everyday.

He cleans Seungmin when he's covered in both of their cum, and bathes him as often as possible.

He feeds Seungmin when the omega will take it, and clean him up even when his body rejects it.

It is less than pretty, it's far from joyful, it's more than intimate. But despite the hardships the events bring, Felix stays. He stays by Seungmins side, and even if all Seungmin can think about is cock, he is grateful from where he is within himself, out of control while his omega takes the wheel.

Eventually, day 7 rolls around. After a long and hectic battle, it's soon to come to an end in a few short hours. Now, with Seungmin and Felix in bed together, face to face as Seungmin's constant sweating begins to slowly but surely recede, and his body becomes his own again, Seungmin makes another request.

"Bokkie." he breathes, the omegas voice ragged and weak from either moaning or disuse for hours at a time. "Knot." He requests simply.

Felix giggles from his spot admiring the other's pretty face on his side, leaning forward and kissing Seungmin with a hand caressing his cheek. He sits up, rolling over on top of Seungmin in one swift movement.

Now between the omegas legs, Felix sits back on his heels, pulling out his slowly filling cock with a low groan, stroking himself a bit to spread his pre cum. Though they don't much need it with how wet Seungmin's still gushing hole is.

"You've done such a great job, Minnie. Just a few more hours till you can get checked out, and we can leave. We'll be able to finish up these last few weeks of school, and then–..." Felix groans as he pushes himself in, the omegas lips spreading in a choked off exclaim of pleasure. "--And then.. We can have each other for the summer. Yeah?"

Seungmin moans at the stretch of Felix's cock spreading his tight hole, nodding in agreement as he talks. The best part about it? It isn't a mindless agreement. His mental fog has been clearing a significant amount since that morning, and he wants nothing more than to belong to Felix for as long as the alpha will have him.

"Seungminnie." Felix whines, his slow and intimate strokes starting to pick up pace. Seungmin can already feel the knot forming at the stimulation. "Seungminnie. You mean the world to me. And you feel so good. Like you belong on my cock." the alpha whispers. He leans down to cage Seungmin between his arms, holding himself up as he collides their hips in a repeated motion, pounding into the other.

It's music to Seungmins ears. All of it. The slapping of skin, Felix's moaning and heavy breathing, the confessions of affection between massive breaths. He feels like he's going to cum right there and then.

"I do." Seungmin reciprocates for the first time in days. He's failed to form intelligible sentences for the last week, but now, thankfully, his ability to speak and think are coming back to him.

"I want you to be mines, Lixie. Be my alpha." Seungmin drags his finger nails down Felix's back, adding to the collection of scratches already there. The blonde hisses at the sting, but his strokes speed up as he talks back.

"Fuck, yes. Minnie. I want that, a lot. I... I love you. Kim Seungmin." He confesses, Seungmins teary eyes widen, when he looks up Felix's face is beat red. He'd assumed Felix's affections we're romantic, but not love, after he hadn't said it back when Seungmin divulged the week before. But he sees now that such an action was intentional, Felix had been waiting for the right moment.

"I love you too, Lix." Seungmin reciprocates, tears falling from his eyes when Felix's hips are forced to come to a stop, his knot locking inside of Seungmin quickly and without budging.

They both take this time to catch their breaths, staring at each other with mutual longing brewing in the space where their eyes meet.

This entire situation has been hectic.

From Seungmin fumbling over his words for 2 years, to the guy he can't keep his composure around spending his heat with him.

But though the road was long, he learned a lot of valuable lessons on his way getting here.

They could get listed one by one, dissected detail for detail, minute after minute to make Seungmin and Felix's ending long and sappy, but the end lesson is this:

Life is too short for you to live for anyone other than yourself. Your life is too vulnerable for you to treat it like it doesn't matter. Your world is too unique for you to change it to look like or even appose someone else's, and your heart beats too often for you to treat it like it's dead. If you do that, it might as well stop.

Seungmin lays in bed with the man he thought he'd never have, tired but the happiest he's been in months. And the truth about his situation, is that though he's locked together with Felix physically at the moment, their souls had been intertwined for a long time. Sadly enough, it took a life changing scare for him to take advantage of it.

In this moment, with Felix laying solemnly on his chest; Seungmin realizes it's okay for him to be both practical and precious. Matter fact, it's best to have a little bit of both.
