    Summary

    "So'lek thinks I'm—that I might be—presenting," he says slowly, before quickly clarifying, "as an alpha."

    The doctor's eyebrows shoot up in surprise.

    A'tean knows he's far past the typical presentation window, having just turned twenty seven, but So'lek explained that extreme stress and trauma is known to suppress hormone cycles and delay presentations. A'tean, had been classified as a beta in all of his health records when his teens came and went without so much as a hint of alpha aggression in his behavior or omega nectar in his scent. But trauma and stress often only delay natural cycles until Na'vi feel safe enough in their environment and relationships for their cycle to begin again. Usually, because it implies they're in a safe environment to have children.

    A'tean has never felt more at peace than he does with So'lek, but he didn't think it would trigger this.

    (or, a'tean's presentation has been delayed for years due to trauma and stress from TAP. after defecting and beginning his relationship with so'lek, he slowly becomes comfortable enough that his body takes it as a sign and triggers his first rut.

    he's worried, but so'lek takes good care of him.)
