Jeongguk knew he shouldn't have let Taehyung have two ice creams, one huge sundae, and three cold frappuccinos all in one day.

But what could he do? The poor omega had just come out of his unusually long and... intense heat.

Jeongguk was himself exhausted after his mate's heat. He hadn't been triggered into a rut at the start of it because he had had it a few weeks back. And it's common knowledge that an omega mated to a true blood in heat is more - 'passionate' than normal ones. Moreover, Taehyung wasn't just any omega. He was the rarest of the rare, a purebred omega. Which meant both his parents were omegas as well.

Taehyung had been way touchier and whinier afterward. Not that the true blood was complaining.

"Kookiee~"

"Not now, love, I've got to send this to that Snow pack."

"But I want you to cuddle me..."

And the puppy eyes added to that? How could the boy say no?

And as a result, Taehyung got a cold and fever because of having so many chilled things. A very horrid one at that.

"Curse me, it's all my fault," Jeongguk muttered as he poured milk into the hot coffee. His hands moved professionally as if he had been making it all his life.

"Gguk, I can hear you and no it's not!" the omega called out, voice frail.

Shit. Forgot about his hearing. Jeongguk sighed. He added a few hearts on it and a tiny smile with the cream. Letting out a huff, he picked it up and used his wolf speed to race to Taehyung's room.

"Here," he placed the mug of coffee on the table and turned back to help the weak omega sit up.

"You feeling better now, pup?" Taehyung was sick, true, but that nickname got him each time. "D-don't call me that. And yeah, a bit," his pale, feverish face dusted with pink.
"So cute," Jeongguk teased and handed him the cup, pulling up a chair and sitting down next to their bed.

"D'you like it?" he smiled.

Taehyung gave him a flying kiss. "Aw, come on, give me a kiss on the cheek, at least?" the alpha pouted sadly. "No way. You will NOT get infected from me! It's quite enough that you're sitting so close to me-"

The boy's indignant outburst was cut off when Jeongguk leaned in for a kiss to shut him up. When he pulled away, Taehyung's eyes were as large as the saucer he had in his hand.

"You wouldn't shut up. Also, how can somebody be so pretty even when they have such a bad cold," Jeongguk bit back a cheeky smirk.

Taehyung lifted the mug to his lips as he remained speechless. The younger merely let out a contemptuous laugh.

When he came back with a bottle of medicine, he saw Taehyung yawning. "Aw," he cooed and grinned, going over to his mate. "You have that milk moustache thingy," he pointed out and the boy's tongue darted out to lick it off, embarrassed.

"No wait, stop," Jeongguk suddenly cried. "Why -" but the poor omega was never able to finish.

Jeongguk leaned in as quick as lightning and kissed him, running his tongue across the elder's upper lip slowly, teasing him again. He let the faint taste of the milk cream sink in before he slid his tongue into Taehyung's mouth and started running it all around his cavern. That snapped the omega out of it and he shoved Jeongguk away, flushed.

"Stop! I-it's not like I don't w-want you to kiss me, but you'll get sick too!"

Jeongguk grinned, mischief twinkling in his caramel brown orbs.

"Ah but Taehyungie, what you haven't taken into account is the fact that I'm a true blood. I won't get infected from an omega, love, relax," he stated confidently.

"Ah but Jeonggukie, you've somehow managed to skip over the fact that I'm a purebred omega. That means the biology's different," Taehyung's sarcastic statement shut the boy up.

A silence enveloped the two like a warm blanket. It was a rather different one, not filled with tension. It was comfortable. So incredibly comfortable that the next time Jeongguk looked up, Taehyung had fallen asleep, his mouth open ever so slightly. He smiled softly at the sight and got up as quietly as he could, shutting the door behind him but not before giving the boy a small peck on the temple.

⋘ ──── ∗ ⋅◈⋅ ∗ ──── ⋙

He woke up to the sound of a muffled cry. It took a couple of seconds for Jeongguk to wake up and process what was going on but the next time, he heard it clearly.

A pain-filled cry in the distance.

Taehyung. He kicked off the blanket as fast as he could, ending up tangling his feet in it. A loud growl ripped through his throat and his eyes flared a deep blood red.
Jeongguk ripped the blanket apart and tore it to shreds furiously and ran to their room. He had dozed off sometime in the afternoon, having nothing to do.

Jeongguk was the Alpha of the Shadow Creek and Taehyung was the Luna. Unlike other packs, they defied the stereotypes and it was Taehyung who did most of the paperwork and kept the pack in check.

In fact, the actual leader of their pack was Taehyung even though he was the Luna.

They had met when they four and three years old and had become friends immediately. Slowly, they started to like each other in a way friends shouldn't and suddenly, one fine day, they were boyfriends. Taehyung and Jeongguk had even decided that in case they weren't mates, they would reject their mates and be together.

If it hadn't been for their biological genes and parents, Taehyung would have been an alpha and Jeongguk an omega because of their personalities. It had always seemed to others that Taehyung was overprotective of the younger and treated him like his baby.

But after the rank ceremonies, when they became the opposite, it changed. Jeongguk turned possessive of Taehyung and was always by his side while Taehyung became decisively shyer and more submissive. But that side of him only came out in front of his mate; in front of others, he was fiery and as sassy as one could possibly get.

Jeongguk burst into the room, eyes flooded with worry. "Tae, oh my god, Tae, what's wrong?" he rushed to the side of the bed.

The bedding was all messy and the neat sheets were thrown off, piled up in random bundles. Moonlight pooled in through the open windows and illuminated the room, falling on a huddled-up figure in the middle of the bed. Jeongguk reached out and switched on a light in a hurry.

Taehyung was breathing shakily and clutching at his stomach every now and then. He was curled up in a ball and trembling in evident pain.

"Where does it hurt, princess?" Jeongguk asked softly as he reached out and pushed his blonde hair back from his clammy forehead. "O-oh fuck," Taehyung groaned in reply, paling by the second. The younger swore under his breath and intertwined their hands to comfort him.

"What's wrong, love? Speak to me, Tae," he commanded, putting in his Trueblood voice but only enough so that Taehyung would answer.

"H-hurts," he whimpered, his voice almost inaudible.

"I know, baby, I know. It's alright now, I'm here," he said gently. "Where does it hurt?" Taehyung pointed to his stomach in reply.
His grey irises were dilating and contracting continuously.

"J-Jeongguk - Gguk, pl-please," Taehyung whimpered out weakly, clutching onto Jeongguk's hands, his knuckles whitening. "I'm here, baby, I'm right here. I'm not gonna go anywhere, princess, it's okay. It's all gonna be okay, love. Just tell me what you need. Tell alpha what you need him to do for you, baby," the Trueblood soothed, rubbing a light finger over Taehyung's pale, sweaty face.

"M-make it stop, Ggukie -," he groaned out, "just make it a-all go away," the omega sobbed, tears leaking out of his eyes as he maintained eye contact.
"Hey - hey, Taehyungie - it's alright, princess. Just relax, okay? It's all gonna go away in some time. Such a brave, strong boy aren't you, baby? Look at me, Tae. I just need you to relax for me, now, okay? Relax, baby," Jeongguk said in a conciliating tone.

Taehyung groaned out, nails digging into Jeongguk's palm.

"It's okay, Tae, you can scratch me if you want. Anything to make the pain go away, love." Taehyung gave a jerk of his head and seemed to feel a little better as his breathing evened again. His exhausted eyelids drooped down and he breathed heavily.

Just when Jeongguk thought it was alright, Taehyung crunched up, a loud yelp leaving him.

"Ah god, Jeongguk, I need to - I need - bathroom," he groaned, feeling sick. Jeongguk understood what he meant and immediately stood up, scooping Taehyung up in his arms and sped to the washroom.

As soon as he put him down, Taehyung retched. Jeongguk stroked his back comfortingly and patted it slowly. "There, now, get it all out. It's all going to be fine, angel. It's alright," he soothed. The omega's hand clutched onto his muscled arm, supporting himself on him.

He straightened up with a pale face. Jeongguk gripped him, an arm around his waist, and led Taehyung to the basin. He waited while the elder washed up and then padded his face with a paper towel gently, drying it.

"Th-thanks," Taehyung whispered and swayed for a while before collapsing onto Jeongguk.

He caught the omega just in time, "Whoa whoa, easy there mister Mc Jelly Legs." Jeongguk picked him up bridal style and carried him to the bed, laying him down and covering him with a blanket.

Taehyung coughed, making the protective boy's eyes narrow and he dashed away at full speed to get a glass of water. Jeongguk reached his side again with water in one second and helped him sit up. "Here, have this."

"How's your head, pup?" he asked softly when Taehyung had put the glass down. "Better, thank you," the elder's pale face didn't hide his blush at the nickname.

"I thought you only used that name when we're having s-," he paused, flustered.

"I dare you to complete that sentence, young man," Jeongguk glared.

"Young man? I'm a full year older to you, Jeon," Taehyung said in a frail British accent and even though his voice was still weak, Jeongguk smiled. "Get some rest, Tae, I'll call in Jin hyung tomorrow."

Taehyung pouted. "But there's nothing wrong with me, it's just the ordinary flu!" Jeongguk frowned, "Can't risk it. Might be a throat infection, a sinusitis or a -" he stopped and sighed at Taehyung's raised eyebrow.

"It's just Jin hyung!"

"He's on his honeymoon with Joon, the pack doctor is now that Minho guy," Taehyung complained, blowing a raspberry at Jeongguk. "Oh yeah... Park Minho? He's nice. I liked him, he's not half bad," the alpha said thoughtfully.

He gave a start at the look on Taehyung's face.

"Aw is my Taetae jelly? Cause I said I 'liked' that Minho guy? Who you kidding though, I'm totally whipped for you? Seriously one day, I could threaten to reject you and break the mate bond and all you'd have to do is give that pout and I'll be like 'Never mind, forget it no rejection'," Jeongguk's scoff turned into a fond smile.

Taehyung's lips rose in a smile and he laughed once. Twice. And suddenly they were both rolling around, laughing their heads off for no apparent reason.

"O-okay, that's enough -," Jeongguk huffed, "you need to get some sleep. But before that, I'm gonna go make some soup for you, yeah? Or do you want something else?" The omega's already pale face had become weaker after the laughing fit.

"Anything you want, Gguk. Oh, also, bring me the documents that Black Lotus wanted me to go over. Oh, and the contract of the ally between the three packs, too. Add the meeting and contact details of Mr. Lee in there too, please? Thank you!" Taehyung beamed at him.

Jeongguk couldn't help but smile, amused and proud of how his mate was so responsible and business-like. His mate. His omega.

"I find it really hot how you're like a CEO ordering his assistant around, Tae," he grinned and was rewarded with Taehyung's cheeks dusting pink immediately.

"Sh-shut up and bring them to me," he mumbled, hiding his face shyly. "As you wish, sir. Or would you like me to call you master? Daddy?" Jeongguk teased.

"Jeongguk!" Taehyung whined, pouting, scowling, blushing, and glaring all at the same time.

"Fine, fine! Relax, geez," he huffed and swept out of the room.

⋘ ──── ∗ ⋅◈⋅ ∗ ──── ⋙

"Call Lisa, Gguk, please I don't want Minho here. He's a meanie," Taehyung whined, holding onto Jeongguk's arm and preventing him from walking away from the bed.

Jeongguk sighed.

"I'll call her up, Tae. See if she's free, yeah love? Will that make you feel better?" he said softly after a while, getting down on his knees to be eye-level with Taehyung. His eyes flitted between the elder's grey eyes and he raised a hand, stroking his cheek gently.

Taehyung smiled widely, his face ever so slightly red.

"God, you blush too easily. I've known you since we were three or four and it's never changed," Jeongguk scoffed and shook his head.

"Shut up and call Lisa," he groaned, letting go of him. "On it, sir."

In a half-hour, a blonde girl wearing a long, white coat over jeans and a T-shirt appeared. She set down her huge bag and flopped down on the bed. "How's Jennie doing?" Taehyung asked as Lisa got to work.

"Oh, she's better, turns out she didn't have Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis after all. That's a muscle paralysis disease. A serious one, too. God, she's a handful," the alpha female sighed. Jeongguk let out a laugh.

"Oh yeah, believe me, this one's a lot to handle too. Was it influenza or sinusitis infection again Tae?" he raised an eyebrow as he leaned against the door frame. Taehyung made a disbelieving face.

"Excuse me, it was you who said all that!" he exclaimed, outraged.

Lisa shook her head, smiling. "C'mon now, Taehyung, I'm gonna need you to relax. Or your check-up's gonna go all wrong," she said as she pushed the boy back onto his pillows gently. The omega pursed his lips as he glared at Jeongguk.

He gave an apologetic smile and mouthed a 'sorry'.

"Quite a high blood pressure - Jeongguk," the blonde alpha sighed as she turned. "Please tell me there was no morning making-love before the check-up."

The casually uttered sentence made both the boys blush furiously. "N-no" "Not at all, of course not I -" they both fumbled to answer.

"Huh. The only reason for high blood pressure is intercourse. That's weird. Anywho, the heartbeat's fine but I'm picking up a faint disturbance in the pulse."

"Disturbance? What d'you mean disturbance?" Jeongguk looked up, panicking. "Nothing, Jeongguk, just relax. Open your mouth again and I'm sending you out, mate of my patient, alpha of our pack or not. I'll write it all down."

"Okay, so Taehyung, tell me about how you've been feeling. What's wrong?" Lisa sat down on the chair beside the bed.

Taehyung blinked and looked towards Jeongguk. The Trueblood stepped in, "He's had a cold for about four or five days but last night he threw up too. Fever's been fluctuating a lot. Stomach aches and headaches to add to that."

Lisa nodded and her eyebrows knitted in thought.

"Sounds like the flu but -," she turned to the alpha. "I'm really sorry but I think it's going to help if you left, Jeongguk. It's not going to take that long." Jeongguk shrugged and looked to his mate for agreement.

"Alright, sure."

⋘ ──── ∗ ⋅◈⋅ ∗ ──── ⋙

About five minutes later, Lisa exited the room and gestured for the boy to enter. "I'm gonna leave, Gguk, you're not going to want me here."
Jeongguk frowned and opened the door after waving her off. Taehyung wasn't in the room and his frown deepened.

"Tae?" To answer his cry, the sound of a flush came. The bathroom door unlocked and the omega appeared, tear streaks on his pale face. Jeongguk's heart stopped and panic and anxiety flooded over him.

"Oh my gosh, Tae, what's wrong? What happened?" he ran forward and put his hands on the elder's shoulders.

He felt Taehyung trembling and his heart raced in fear. Jeongguk leaned down and picked him up, the omega wrapping his arms around his shoulders to support himself.

Taehyung buried his nose in Jeongguk's neck and allowed his warmth to flood over him.

The Trueblood sat down on the bed and leaned back, giving Taehyung time to start speaking. It was hard because all he wanted to do was beg him for answers and comfort him, make him happier. It hurt him to see his mate upset and even more so because he didn't know the reason for it.

A few minutes passed and Taehyung didn't speak.

"Tae? What's wrong, princess? Speak to me, I can't read your mind now, can I? I don't like seeing you upset, it makes me so sad, love," he said softly, stroking Taehyung's golden locks.

Taehyung sniffed once. Twice. And then he burst into tears. Sobs wracked through him - each and every one of them making Jeongguk's heart clench. He pressed into the younger's neck and cried. Jeongguk wrapped his arms around the smaller and stroked his back slowly. He knew Taehyung would speak when he was ready and he just waited, comforting him and murmuring into his ear.

The boy quietened down after about ten minutes. He raised his face and looked at Jeongguk before he brought his face forward and kissed him. Jeongguk was taken by surprise at the action but he still kissed back softly.

Taehyung pulled away after a while and touched their noses together.

"Love?" Jeongguk pressed.

"I - I'm sorry - I just - e-emotions," Taehyung replied and closed his eyes for a few moments.

"What happened?"

Taehyung opened his eyes, grey looking into brown. "Listen," he whispered and grabbed Jeongguk's wrist. The younger looked confused.

Taehyung pressed Jeongguk's palm against his chest. Slowly, very slowly, he moved it down. "Listen carefully, Gguk," he whispered again. Jeongguk closed his eyes and frowned, eyebrows knitting together as he focused.

Suddenly it became as clear as crystal to him. At the exact same moment, Taehyung picked up his hand and put it over his stomach. Jeongguk's eyes shot open and his jaw fell.

There was a faint sound of a heartbeat.

But it wasn't Taehyung's.

It was softer and so faint that even the Trueblood's heightened senses took some time to pick it up. He bit his lip and his breathing turned faster.

A wide grin spread across his face, making his bunny teeth show and the corners of his eyes crinkle. All the while, his eyes slowly pooled with tears. "I - t-these are t-tears of joy, d-don't get me wrong," Jeongguk warned Taehyung as he laughed.

Ecstasy washed over him and he felt a kind of happiness he had never felt in his life.

Jeongguk's head fell back and he sighed, smiling with closed eyes. He brought his gaze to Taehyung after a while, who was now smiling and crying again. "Say it," he took Taehyung's hand in his and intertwined their fingers.

"I want to hear you say it, princess," he said softly.

Taehyung nodded and took in a deep breath. "I'm - I -" he paused. "Take your time, Tae," Jeongguk encouraged.

"I'm pregnant."

Jeongguk's wolf howled in joy and he let out a cry of happiness. They laughed together for some time, almost insane with happiness. "God, I love you so much," Jeongguk whispered softly and grabbed Taehyung's face in his hands. He kissed him again and again, over and over again until Taehyung was both blushing and giggling.

"I love you too, Gguk. I love you very berry much," he smiled and leaned in to hug the boy.

"I love you very berry much too," Jeongguk replied, smiling. A few tears leaked through his closed eyes, rolling down his skin slowly.

They stayed like that the whole day, talking softly and wrapped up in each other's embrace. At night, they fell asleep together, their limbs entangled and smiles on their faces.

It was definitely the best day of all their lives.

~ 𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕰𝖓𝖉 ~

A.N. It was a boy by the way. A male omega. They had another kid, a female alpha a couple of years later.

Happy ending, huh? I've been doing fluff a lot, I think I'm gonna kill Taehyung or Jeongguk in the next one-shot ;P Or maybe not -

Love you all and thank you so much for 7K reads, I never thought my writing was gonna get attention ಥωಥ ❤❤
