Chapter Text
It was almost ridiculous how overprotective an Alpha with rut disease could become during his rut. Kaveh tried to get up from bed? Nope. He either had to be carried, laid back in bed with him, sit by his side (super close) or sit in his lap with his arms wrapped around him and with his chin laying on top of his head (he liked the last option but he wasn't going to admit that) Alhaitham would still work on his rut days (as long as his mate was there with him) the few minutes that Kaveh had used to go to the bathroom a few times the Alpha would be waiting for him with a worried look on his face, as if one minute longer and he would have exploded.
People knew that during Alhaitham's rut, you should never get too close, unless you wanted him to growl at you. Usually, people would immediately take the warning and take a few steps back before apologizing and leaving the room, leaving Alhaitham to go back to his work (and back to showering his mate with affection every few minutes)
But today, apparently someone just didn't get that growling meant fuck off.
Kaveh opened his eyes, his back hurt and he felt arms slowly wrap around him.
"Seriously, Kaveh, stop sleeping on the couch. We have a bed for a reason." Alhaitham muttered. Kaveh tiredly put a hand over his mate's mouth, too tired to deal with any scolding as his mate picked him up. Alhaitham rolled his eyes as he laid Kaveh into their bed and afterwards got breakfast ready (knowing full well that Kaveh had barely eaten anything yesterday) when the breakfast was ready he put more on his mates plate before heading back to Kaveh and giving him a plate. After both of them finished Alhaitham gave him a quick kiss goodbye before leaving to put the plates into the sink and go to work. However, when he comes back and picks Kaveh up, Kaveh realizes that his rut is starting today.
"Wait, Haitham, my papers for-"
"That can wait, you need a break."
"Well if taking a break is going to ANOTHER work place then yeah sure."
"You're not even going to be doing any work." Alhaitham said, putting Kaveh down when they both got through the front door, making sure to squeeze onto Kaveh's hand.

Kaveh sat in Alhaitham's lap as his mate worked, he tried grabbing at the extra pens to start doodling but Alhaitham had decided the pen had malicious intent towards his mate and made sure to take care of it quickly. Kaveh watched as the pen flew to the other side of the room. Alhaitham's grip on Kaveh tightened, bringing him closer, peppering a few kisses onto his face before going back to work. Kaveh watched as the clock ticked, feeling bored and somewhat dehydrated.
"Haitham." Kaveh said, his mate's attention immediately turned towards him. Before he could get another word out somebody came in.
"I'm extremely sorry for interrupting but this is extremely important-"
There was an immediate growl. Al Haitham adjusted Kaveh so he couldn't face him. Kaveh put his arms onto Alhaitham's shoulder, resting his head there as well. It would be fine the person would be gone soon.
But there were no footsteps heard leaving the room
No, he only came closer, completely ignoring the Alpha's warning growl. The stranger stepped into dangerous territory as he stood only a few inches from Haitham's desk. The growling had only gotten louder from Alhaitham. Before the other could get another step closer, Alhaitham stood.
"Leave. Now."
Only then did the other look as if they were going to shit their pants. Kaveh sighed, glad the stranger was finally out of the room. When Alhaitham was sure the "danger" was gone he placed a few kisses onto the neck of his mate, swearing under his breath to always love and take care of him.
