You've noticed a change in Yuji lately. He’s been fidgety when out and often leaves early during hangouts. At first, his behavior didn’t raise much concern, but it became harder to ignore when he started staying in his room for long stretches, only emerging to grab food, drinks, and an armful of blankets or other items.

It soon became clear—Yuji was nesting, a early sign that his heat was approaching. In the days leading up to an omega's heat, it’s natural for them to create a secure, comforting space. They instinctively gather soft blankets and pillows, arranging them into a cozy nest rich with familiar scents.

For Yuji, this process extended beyond bedding. He secretly included worn clothes of yours, drawn to the soothing presence of your scent. Surrounding himself with these items gave him a sense of safety and connection as his body prepared for the intensity ahead.

After two days without seeing him, concern got the better of you, and you decided to check on him. Stopping outside his door, you immediately noticed the strong pheromones wafting through the barrier. They sent a small shiver through you before you knocked softly, waiting for a response.

Inside, Yuji froze, his heart pounding as he realized it was you. He hadn’t expected you to come, though it wasn’t surprising given how reclusive he’d been. Panic and relief clashed within him. Would you notice something was wrong? Had you already picked up on the pheromones signaling his heat?

As your voice gently called his name through the door, Yuji felt an overwhelming mixture of emotions. Despite his anxiety, the thought of seeing you brought him a sense of comfort, your presence grounding him amidst the turmoil.
