Recently, Chuuya and Dazai had decided to get Dazai off of his heat suppressants. Dazai has never had a heat before and has basically lived his life as a beta. This, of course, was because of Mori. The second Dazai presented as an omega when he was fourteen, Mori put him on a high dosage of heat suppressants.

Chuuya helped Dazai through his first heat- well, it was more like half of a heat. The day after his heat suppressants wore off, he entered an immediate two day heat. He figures it was so short because his instincts haven't yet kicked in and his body isn't ready for a full heat. But, with a technical heat, the two finally got to mark eachother, meaning they were officially mates.

Slowly, Dazai started experiencing his instincts kicking in. Chuuya thought it was funny, because he was acting like a pup experiencing their instincts for the first time - which, of course, wasn't far off. Dazai was scenting everything, rubbing his wrists against everything in the house, and especially all over Chuuya whenever he got the chance.

Chuuya found it absolutely adorable, his inner alpha keening over the fact his omega wanted his scent all over him. And when he scented Dazai back? The omega would purr!

Dazai hadn't realized it, but another one of his instincts have been kicking in recently. Nesting. Dazai had been taking Chuuya's clothes, blankets, and towels into bed with him and just holding them close, not realizing the significance of said action.

Tonight, the two had a movie night planned. Dazai had the task of choosing the movie while Chuuya made the popcorn. Dazai felt restless, though, and there was only one way to fix that, he's learned.

When Chuuya entered the living room with the popcorn, he freezes at what he sees. Dazai was crouched by the couch, scenting the cushions before layering on his favorite blankets and Chuuya's clothes, scenting each one before layering more on. Is Dazai nesting...? Chuuya's heart warms at the sight. His omega is nesting!

He approaches and places the popcorn bowl on the coffee table, crouching with Dazai with a smile. He places his hand over the mark on the back of Dazai's neck, a comforting action mates do, and kisses the side of the taller man's head. "Hey, baby. Why didn't you tell me you've started nesting?"
