There was only one thing that Katsuki hated more than obnoxious alphas who doubted his capabilities, and that was villains. But a villain who wasn't the obnoxious kind of alpha? ... Katsuki hadn't considered that possibility before. It must be some kind of Stockholm syndrome because there was no way Katsuki was charmed by this man.

This was the second time that Katsuki had been kidnapped by the LOV, but this time they were prepared for long-term holding. What they wanted with Katsuki this time was beyond him. But along with the tiny, dingy room, quirk canceling cuffs, and dirty mattress, they assigned a specific villain in particular to watch over him.

Katsuki had never seen this member of the LOV before. Whether he was new or just didn't participate in missions was outside of the omega's knowledge. What Katsuki did know was that instead of leaving his instincts gnashing and restless on the stupid lumpy mattress, this alpha villain had the courtesy to bring him nesting materials.

They weren't even bad nesting materials by any means. Sure, it was awkward trying to arrange them with his hands cuffed behind his back, but it was better than nothing. Katsuki was also begrudgingly grateful that the villain gave him proper privacy, avoided touching him, and- and brought him some damn good food sometimes. Curse his weirdly thoughtful manners.

Okay, but none of that meant Katsuki's omega should perk up when the villain's scent neared the room's door or satiate itself with the alpha's food. It was getting ridiculous.

Katsuki was irritably shuffling his nest around today with his knees. It had been two weeks since he got kidnapped, and he was starting to get restless. His omega didn't help at all, whining about cravings or wanting his friend's scents- not to mention the disruption of his typical routines. The small room's brick walls and sliver of window near the ceiling were becoming suffocating.
