Chapter Text
Kaveh looked at the calendar, a frustrated sigh escaping him. His cycle would be hitting in the next few days. Work contracts were finished, the house was stocked with everything he needed, his nest was almost finished. But… he was nervous. He looked at the clock, realizing Alhaitham would be home within the next few minutes. Heat was never a fun time, but broaching this topic was filling the lion hybrid with anxiety.
He was dreading the talk he was about to have with his mate. He knew it was silly to be worried. It was just Alhaitham after all. But this was a big discussion to have. And he was nervous about either outcome. Anxiety sat deep in his gut. His ears lowered, tail flicking at the tip.
He was lost in the thought of possible scenarios. Kaveh didn't even hear the front door open and close. He nearly jumped out of his skin when he felt arms wrap around his waist. A bushy tail wrapped around his thigh as Alhaitham pressed a kiss to his cheek. His pheromones must have been spiking already; Alhaitham was rarely this handsy the moment he walked in the door.
“What is on your mind?” Alhaitham whispered.
“We need to talk about something.” Kaveh sighed. He leaned back against his warm mate holding onto him.
“Anything you need.” Alhaitham said. A light purr rumbled in his chest, trying to comfort Kaveh. He could smell the anxiety on his mate. All he wanted to do was comfort him.
“My heats is coming up…” Kaveh gestured to the calendar. “And we've talked about it briefly. But we have been mated for a while now and my career is more stable with the teaching job and now that you're scribe again, you're home more and-”
“Kaveh are you trying to ask if I want to have cubs with you?” Alhaitham asked.
“I am.” Kaveh squeaked. His cheeks were turning pink.
Alhaitham turned his mate around, brushing his hair behind his ear. Red eyes looked anywhere but turquoise ones. The anxiety in his scent didn't disperse.
“Is this something you want?” Alhaitham asked.
“I’ve…” Kaveh pet the fluffy tail of his mate. “I have wanted to have your cubs since we were teenagers. Just the time has never been right between us not talking for a long time then my debts then you rising to acting grand sage. But things settled down…”
“Kaveh.” Alhaitham tilted his partner's chin so they were looking eye to eye. “Let me worry about all that. Are you willing to carry a cub right now? I can only help with the physical burden of everything so much. It is something you need to be sure of.”
“Can we try for a cub when I go into heat? This is something I want.” Kaveh asked shyly.
“I would give you the world if I could.” Alhaitham offered him a small smile. “Let's give it a try.”
Kaveh woke up that morning feeling far too warm. He whined, uncomfortable by the fabric of his tank top and shorts against fiery skin. His mouth felt dry and his abdomen ached dully. His mind felt hazy but he knew what this was… his pre-heat was here.
Stripping out of his clothes, he padded his way to the bathroom and splashed cold water on his face. The house felt far too hot. Another whine escaped him as slick dripped out of him and clung to his thighs. While he was still in a proper state of mind, he twisted his hair into a bun. Some relief came… but was quickly thwarted as the rich smell of spice, coffee and ink swept down the hall.
His mate. Alhaitham was still home. He could probably smell the pheromones changing and knew his mate's preheat was already here. A hand ran across the mating bite on the back of his neck. Kaveh’s cheeks flushed at the remembrance of their conversation. This was the heat they were going to try for kids. The thought made Kaveh’s cunt clench around nothing, slick gushing out at the simple thought of being bred by his mate.
A knock rapped on the bathroom door, making Kaveh jump. A shiver ran down his spine as the scent hit him hard. His body suddenly felt warmer.
“Aziz, are you okay?” Alhaitham asked, his voice low and sweet. It made Kaveh purr softly, feeling safe with his mate nearby, protected in his vulnerable state. “Do you think you can eat some breakfast?”
Kaveh thought for a moment. He should eat… this was simply preheat and once he went under, things were going to be hazy for quite some time. But that line of thought dissolved after he realized he wanted to remember being bred by Alhaitham. His hormone riddled brain made that decision rather quickly for him.
Pulling the door open, the lion hybrid pulled his snow leopard mate into a searing kiss. Alhaitham groaned when his hands found nude hips. Kaveh’s tail swayed contently as he pulled away.
“Depends… are you breakfast? Because I need you in our nest this instant putting a baby in me.” Kaveh panted.
Alhaitham’s eyes widened slightly before he pulled Kaveh back into a hot kiss. The pheromones were affecting him just as strongly. He picked the lion hybrid, his legs wrapping around still clothed hips. Kaveh gasped and moaned, purring as he clung to his mate. When their tongues met, Kaveh’s back hit the back of their bed.
Blankets, pillows, and clothes lined the mattress. Their combined scents put the lion at ease. He practically melted in his nest. Alhaitham wasn't fairing much better. The snow leopard’s turquoise eyes were hazy, glazed with lust as his hands roamed heated skin. When they hit his inner thighs, Alhaitham growled. Pulling away, he licked the slick that was on his hands.
“Oh fuck…you’ve never been this wet before, even in full heat.” Alhaitham groaned. “Kaveh, I need to hear you say you're sure and ready for me to breed you. Because I'm not sure how much longer I can hold back.”
“Fill me Hayi.” Kaveh whimpered. “Please, I need it now. I want to remember the face you make when you fill me with cubs. Before I disappear into the fog of my heat.”
“I can do that. Archons, do I want to do that…” Alhaitham purred. He spread Kaveh’s legs, watching the slick drip out of his entrance.
The snow leopard couldn't resist. Picking Kaveh’s hips up and bending him in half, Alhaitham pressed his tongue against the dripping entrance. Kaveh wailed, his legs locking around the back of his mate’s shoulders. The scribe growled as he was brought closer to Kaveh’s delectable pussy.
Licking the sweet nectar straight from the source always sent Alhaitham into a frenzy. It made his cock ache in a way that put his instincts first. The desperate moans and whines coming from Kaveh cleared his head of all thoughts except for making his mate feel as good as possible.
“Haitham! Please, I want to be bred! Not eaten out!” Kaveh sobbed.
The scribe pulled away just enough to push two fingers into the sopping wet entrance. But his tongue swiped across the sensitive bundle of nerves perched above his entrance. Kaveh was shaking, the heat in his core beginning to burn though him. His mate made him feel so good. Slick poured from his entrance, sticking to his ass and thighs as it threatened to drip down onto the sheets below him.
Alhaitham slid a third finger in, then a fourth. Kaveh was still against the sheets, panting heavily as his entrance was stretched enough to take his mate’s knot.
His heat was taking over his mind faster than he cared to admit. He needed to be filled. He needed to be stretched and filled with a fat knot. He needed to be bred and plump with a cub. His mind wandered to the thoughts of how well Alhaitham will take care of him when he's round with their cub and how sweetly he will look holding them.
Thick fingers left his entrance, a pitiful whine coming from Kaveh followed. His hips were dropped against the bed. Alhaitham pulled off his clothes, handing them to a hazy Kaveh to add to the nest. He stroked his length with the hand covered in Kaveh’s slick. The friction made Alhaitham tip his head back with a soft gasp.
Kaveh’s tail smacked at his mate’s thigh. He was becoming impatient. He needed to be filled now damn it! And his pussy felt much better than his hand!
“I’m here, Aziz.” Alhaitham peppered kisses along Kaveh’s jawline as the tip of his dick pressed against the stretched and ready entrance.
Kaveh’s hips bucked forward, begging without speaking to be penetrated. The snow leopard was at his wits end. His mate was so pretty in their nest. He smelled beyond delicious, like citrus, mourning flowers and sugar. And the anticipation of breeding his mate made him practically delirious.
His cock pressed into the soaking wet entrance. A shiver ran down Alhaitham’s spine as the tight heat wrapped around him. Much to Kaveh’s dismay, he remained still, savoring the sensation. A hand ran across the lion’s stomach. He could already picture him carrying his cub. How he had wanted that for years now but never wanted to force the idea on his mate. But now, it was finally time to breed his mate.
Alhaitham started off at a soft and slow pace. He enjoyed feeling every squeeze and flutter of Kaveh’s tight cunt as he moved in and out. The lion seemed blissful at the love making pace. They would be fucking like animals for the next week. This was a nice chance to relish in the sweet feeling wrapped around him.
Kaveh whimpered as the thrusts began to quicken in pace. Even in the mist of preheat, Kaveh could tell Alhaitham was heavily affected by everything going on. The idea of being bred full made him squeeze around Alhaitham’s cock. The snow leopard hissed, claws digging into the hips he was holding onto at the sensation.
“Archons, Kaveh… you're so damn tight!” Alhaitham grunted.
The scribe’s knot began to swell, hitting against the drenched entrance each time he slammed into the welcoming heat. The feeling made Kaveh whimper in need. Roughly, Kaveh pulled his mate down into a sloppy kiss that was mostly tongue.
“I need you to cum first Kaveh. Then I will fill you with my cubs.” Alhaitham murmured, biting at the lion’s bottom lip. Two fingers slipped between them, rubbing circles into the blonde’s delicate clit.
Kaveh keened at the sensation, his body trembling. His mate licked across his throat, biting teasingly at the sensitive skin and leaving small purple hickeys. Alhaitham knew just how to touch him, his quick learning coming to good use. Slow circles rubbed against Kaveh’s clit. A firm pressure that occasionally pinched the bud between the two fingers against it.
Kaveh practically screamed in pleasure when his orgasm crashed over him. Slick gushed out of his entrance, coating his mate as well as his own thighs. The lion’s sight went white when the thick knot finally slipped inside his entrance. He was sent to celestia and back at the feeling of being filled with his mate’s semen.
The lion came back down to Teyvat when he heard Alhaitham’s quiet purrs rumbling against him. Still stuck together by the knot, the snow leopard had adjusted them to lay comfortably together on the bed. Kaveh’s leg was thrown over his mate’s hip as he lay plastered against his chest.
“Welcome back.” Alhaitham whispered. “You feeling okay?”
“Okay? I feel incredible.” Kaveh chuckled. “Thank you for indulging me before my heat fully starts. I… wanted to be semi here. Maybe this is the round that took, you know?”
“I understand my love. But you do have seven days of breeding ahead of you.” Alhaitham chuckled. “One of them will take. I'm sure of it. Then we will have a little cub to raise.”
“Do you think they will be a lion or a snow leopard?” Kaveh hummed.
“Either way, they will be absolutely perfect. Get some sleep while you can Aziz. Your heat will be here in full force before you know it.” Alhaitham murmured. “I’ll take care of you when you wake up.”
