his omega couldn't do anything.

Katsuki came to this conclusion after his omega's first heat. Finding his soulmate was already difficult, but teaching her something that should have been instinctual?

This was definitely not what his life had prepared him for.

At first, he didn't even realize that something was wrong. He never expected his omega to build nests for no reason or steal his clothes for comfort or... what else did such people usually do? In any case, he didn't give it much thought.

or didn't want to.

but he had to when he realized that his love wasn't doing anything like that, not at all. Absolutely. All his clothes were in place, and he was in good shape, and their rooms were spotlessly clean.

No matter how many questions he asked himself, trying to be a better and more socially acceptable alpha, he only received his mate's confused reactions.

Until their first heat together, when everything fell into place.

a few messages that morning and katsuki was already in his other half's room, and after he helped her calm down and get her bearings, he finally understood how bad it was. there was no nest, not even during heat, not even a hint of one. and the girl didn't seem to think to notify the guy first that she needed help.

that's when he got scared.

Two weeks later, he tried everything he could to show her how much he was willing to sacrifice to make her as comfortable as possible, and when that didn't work, he took extreme measures.

He took her to his house, locked himself in his room, and wrapped them both in a warm blanket, explaining to her the importance of comfort and why it was better for her to learn how to make a nest, sometimes sighing heavily at the awkwardness of the moment.

"Damn it, I'm not forcing you, okay? It's not really necessary, but you should at least try. I don't want to see how lonely and painful you are during your heat anymore, okay? It's like... Fuck... Well, for an omega, the nest should be a place of comfort, like a mini version of the alpha's presence in the moment, understand? It's... God, what did the old man say? "The nest is the protection of the omega's heart during their most vulnerable moment," that's it. I just... I want you to stop hurting so much when I'm not around, okay? If you still want to, we can try. I won't laugh, okay? just...do it once"
