Work Text:
There was definitely something wrong with Alhaitham, Kaveh sensed it. Either this Alhaitham was a doppelgänger or that he hit his head so hard that he became like this. Kaveh didn’t know if he should be happy with the changes or not.
You see. His roommate suddenly changed 180degrees. Usually Alhaitham would take 2 keys occasionally just so Kaveh would be locked out — or couldn’t even go out for that matter.
But now, Alhaitham made sure Kaveh had his key before going out. Even checking on when he would come home to the point that Kaveh’s phone was busy with Haitham’s notifications. His roommate also made sure that he ate properly.
Now that was weird.
It was even weirder when Alhaitham came to his office to pick him up because it was raining! Why would his alpha roommate even bother to do that? From their 2-year together, Alhaitham was one you would call ignorant, even aloof.
That being said, Kaveh enjoyed the attention. He loved when Alhaitham pampered him like right now, although he was still a bit freaked out with this behavior of his roommate. He was even thinking that Alhaitham might be on a bet or maybe was drunk.
One point that made him realised things got a bit too much was when he was scolded for wearing his usual cloth. That day was like any other day, he was wearing his low cut V-neck t-shirt like usual. It felt breeze and in addition, he didn't have big boobs like Alhaitham so it was not like there was anything to see - oh you just didn't know about it Kaveh. The t-shirt did show his neckline which was covered by black collar - he didn't want to be bitten, thank you very much. Besides, Alhaitham had no problem with the way he was wearing before so why now?
He shrugged. Anyway, whatever, he would still use what he liked and Alhaitham had no right to scold him.
.
.
The last straw would be when he almost fell down because someone bumped into his shoulder. He was not weak, okay? He was just too tired with all the projects that week so he didn't get enough sleep for the whole week. Therefore, when the bump happen, he just couldn't be bothered and let himself being dragged down by the gravity.
It was not until Alhaitham came right then, carried him on his arms (in bridal style which invited many stares and wolf-whistles from Kaveh's colleagues) to the hospital! He raised his eyebrows questioning if Alhaitham put a track on him or if there was a camera somewhere. How could his roommate knew about this?
"Dehya texted me." As if Alhaitham could read his mind, the former answered the questions in his head.
Kaveh nodded and mentally noted to talk to Dehya about this later on.
.

They were finally now in the living room after everything was settled. Kaveh told Alhaitham he didn't need to go to hospital and he just wanted to go home. Alhaitham disagreed but finally gave in and brought them back home. They were now sitting in each side of the sofa.
Kaveh hugged the pillow and glared at Alhaitham whenever the latter wanted to get closer.
"Speak!" Kaveh said, a bit louder than he intended to.
Alhaitham was confused from his tone. "Speak about what?"
"What did you do this time?" There was only this explanation that Kaveh could think of. Alhaitham must have done something wrong and felt guilty. That was why Kaveh was treated like a princess these days.
Alhaitham was blinking. Now that was cute if it were not for their circumstances right then.
"Did you shred my blueprints to pieces?" Kaveh asked.
There was silence followed by a shake.
"Or maybe you put my clothes in my wardrobe again? Oh oh! Did you steal something from me??"
Kaveh didn't give time for Alhaitham to answer and started bombarding with his questions.
“Oh —“ Kaveh’s eyes gotten bigger as he suddenly thought of something. “Do you want to increase the rent?"
Alhaitham was taken aback with that last question. He looked a bit - hurt? "Why would I charge the mother of my child?”
There was only the sound of the clock. One. Two.
Kaveh jumped from the couch, staring at Haitham with disbelief.
“Who — what? What? Child? Are you cheating on me? Wait, no, we are not even together.” Kaveh shook his head. Due to his sudden stand, his head was a bit dizzy. Alhaitham tried to reach him, but was denied.
Kaveh was thinking. They did have sex occasionally, mostly when either Kaveh’s heat or Alhaitham’s rut was unbearable that they needed the release. Or when Kaveh used Alhaitham’s tshirt, shirt — anything to build a nest. Or when they spent the whole week because Alhaitham could not calm down and pounced Kaveh like a madman.
Yeah; that was that — apart from there was no knotting, Kaveh also made sure to use the pill and everything, so chances for him to get pregnant was almost 0. So how come Alhaitham mentioned about child and mother?
And why did Kaveh even care? Not like they were dating as he mentioned.
Wait, no Haitham mentioned — implied that he was the one with the child? Kaveh?
“Wh — at?” He finally realized.
Alhaitham stood up, eyes never left Kaveh. It was a gentle stare, yet at the same time there was predatory feeling behind it. They stood so close to each other. Kaveh could smell that musky wood scent coming from Alhaitham. He almost mewled at that.
“My child.” Alhaitham whispered.
“Wh — whose?”
“Unless you mate with another alpha behind my back, Kaveh.” The alpha growled, clearly disliking the idea of someone else touching — marking Kaveh.
He touched Kaveh’s cheek gently, rubbing it with his palm. Shivering under the touch, Kaveh tried to reason.
“No, but — Haitham, I’m not pregnant…” He trailed off his sentence, staring at his feet. He could sense Alhaitham’s stare but he was too scared to look at them.
Was that cause he didn’t want to see the disappointment?
“You cannot lie to me, Kaveh,” whispered Alhaitham to his ear. “You have my child,” Alhaitham pointed to his stomach. A light touch but it was like Kaveh was electrocuted. “Here, mine.” The alpha whispered again then suck Kaveh’s ears making the omega moaned.
“Mmrh… no,” Kaveh replied weakly. “I can tell if I’m pregnant, ahh, Haitham stop.” Kaveh pushed the alpha, hands on the chest. “I, I’m not pregnant, why do you think I am?”
There was another awkward silence between them.
“Scent,” Kaveh looked up. “You have the scent of a pregnant omega.”
Blinking many times, Kaveh opened his mouth slightly.
“Since 3 weeks ago and I remember it was when our last mating session. My rut.“
One. Two. And then Kaveh burst to laughter. He ignored Alhaitham’s questioning look. Laughing so hard that he almost got stomachache.
“Thammy — Tham, I’m not, haha, I’m not pregnant.” He hugged his stomach, wiping the tears that leaked out from his eyes.
“Your scent," Alhaitham hissed.
“I don’t know how pregnant omega smells like, but I’m not one.” He told that firmly to Alhaitham. He needed his roommate to know that there was no baby despite the pang in his heart.
“We can check it out.” Alhaitham was persistent. It was a cute trait, but Kaveh 100% sure he was not pregnant.
“We can, but I bet my next project that I’m not pregnant, Haitham. Is that also why you told me not to carry heavy things?”
The alpha nodded. “Man, that tells me all your weird behavior these weeks then. And no, I’m not doing this thing with another alpha, you know that.” Kaveh glared at Alhaitham and continued slowly with his sentence. “It pisses me off you think I’m capable of that.”
There was no response coming from Alhaitham. Maybe the alpha was guilty at that part, but it was not entirely his fault. They had not clarify their relationship so far. It was always purely for physical. It just happened they clicked and their chemistry (in bed cause otherwise they were like mouse and cat) was so good.
“Alright, now that settles everything.” Kaveh nodded. He turned his back to the alpha, on his way to his room before Alhaitham pulled him. His back rested on the familiar broad chest. Something caught his nose. Arousal was slowly building up to his entire body.
“Hai - Haitham?” He looked up to Alhaitham who was staring like the latter wanted to eat Kaveh. “Thammy?” He continued. Alhaitham was thinking and somehow Kaveh knew that he should run away, but the scent, the stare — everything was so familiar. Everything smelled of home to him. “There is no baby in my stomach, Alhaitham. Not like we need to have one.” He carefully chose his words. He was a bit nervous with how he was looked at right now.
They were staring at each other until Alhaitham growled. It made him shivered and his legs turned weak that he had to hold Alhaitham's arm which was somehow circling around his stomach already. The next thing he knew was that he was carried again. He tried to struggle but it was no use when his lips were captured. Tongues intertwined with one another and the pheromones - oh gosh the pheromones.
It screamed of lust - of wants.
Alhaitham wanted him. Alhaitham was craving for him and that was enough for Kaveh to let himself being dragged to his roommate's room.
.
.
Ever since Alhaitham thought Kaveh was pregnant with his child, he couldn't stop the warmth spreading inside him. The thought of Kaveh having his seeds, his baby inside - it made Alhaitham feel peaceful.
When he found out the truth though, he was a bit disappointed.
However, if there was no child, Alhaitham could just have to make sure there would be one.
Later at that night, Kaveh would not beg him to stop. No, Kaveh would beg for his seeds - asking for more. Kaveh would ask for Alhaitham to knot and Alhaitham would obey. He would pump all his seeds inside, filling up Kaveh's womb. Then, he would fully claimed his omega. His rightfully one.
"Mine. Mine. My omega."
