Kai noted a lot of things new in the house when he stepped in. For example: the smell in the house had now sweetened significantly with one particular scent standing out— apple pastries and sweet vanilla dominated the other scents by a margin. Kai also noted that there was a special “way” to the atmosphere of the house. It was softer but unmistakably…deeper.
Kai slipped off his coat, and put his shoes on the rack they had gotten— though, it proved to be slightly useless as most of the shoes were messily thrown that way, barely missing it.
Kai walked to his shared bedroom with his husband and opened the door with a quiet noise. He didn’t comment about the powerful scent, or how shaded the room was, he simply narrowed in on the silhouette laying in the bed. Kai, hastily, approached the bed and leaned on it- closer to his husband, and simultaneously making it creak under the weight of his knee pressing on it.
“My love,” Kai grabbed Green’s attention at the direct address, lightly placing his palm on his forehead, “you’re burning up. Your heat must be starting.” Kai’s words were barely above a whisper and with a kind of softness no man had ever achieved before.
“Makes..sense..Damn, I let it slip my mind it was around that time,” Green said with a sigh, annoyance dripping from his tone, though it didn’t go unnoticed how he immediately wrapped his hand around Kai’s forearm, making sure that even as Kai took his hand away from Green’s forehead, Green would still have physical contact with him.
Kai smiled slightly and let out a small chuckle, “Don’t beat yourself up, you’re still in preheat. No need to get upset when you already caught it when you still had sense left in you-”
With that Green lighty smacked his shoulder. “I’m not that clumsy when in heat! I may be a bit hazy but I can still think during it!” Green’s immediate need to defend himself made Kai chuckle some more. Pressing a kiss to Green’s hand and letting out some calming pheromones- as Green had subconsciously started to sour his scent with his irritation- Kai started to speak again, slightly more softer than before, “Sorry, sorry. I didn’t mean it like that.” Kai also didn’t miss how his husband’s eyes softened slightly; glazing over slightly.
What a mate’s comfort and pheromones can do to a man.
“You still haven’t made a nest yet?” Kai grazed over the surrounding area around them, “May I help you gather materials?” Kai asked, he knew how omegas can get when it comes to their nest. Some can’t stand people watching them or helping them. Some love the help and let their mates watch them work. Some are so clumsy when starting that you have to help them.
Green seemed to weigh his options for a moment. “..Yes please. If it’s not too much to ask,” Green responded after that moment. Even in heat, the true way to tell if Green was truly The Green was if he still had that subconscious feeling of being a burden. God, sometimes he’s so stubborn about the wrong things.
…
A careful knock on Bella’s door and Bella was staring in the doorway of her room, staring at Kai. At first her usual facade was on- since it was Kai at her door- but the smell of sweetened pheromones dripping off of Kai was enough for her eyes to soften a bit.
“Would you mind lending some of your hoodies to a great cause?” Kai asked, still keeping that banter that he and Bella have.
“Mhmm, dunno. What’s in it for me?” Bella replied with a smirk, leaning against the doorframe.
“You'd rather have Allan steal it from you than just let me ask you now and you willingly hand it over?” Kai scoffed, a little in disbelief.
“You’ll never believe my answer.”
Kai walked away from Bella’s room holding a pile of hoodies and shirts.
The talk with Mia was easier. Significantly easier. In practically two seconds he had a pile of clothes from Mia in his hands. And he went around to all of their kids and got a small pile of clothes from each of them. Then he returned to their bedroom and dumped the clothes on their bed, already taking not of the fact Green had practically gutted their shared closet out. He stepped away from the bed and sat with his back against the wall; watching his husband work.
In all honesty, for him it looked like total chaos. No structure, pattern, or anything that would make it look aesthetically pleasing. But…He couldn’t deny overtime it turned into something unbelievably comfy. And finally— Green was done. After about an hour or so.
Green stared in pride at what he accomplished before his body remembered that he- infact- was starting his heat. So, almost on cue, he collapsed into the nest and curled up into it. After a few moments of situationating, Green looked up and noticed Kai was all the way across the room. Kai took his husband’s scent immediately souring as the cue to join his mate in the nest he had made.
Kai noticed Green staring at his mating mark; something Kai always wore with pride. Green eventually pressed kisses to the mark and ended up biting around it and such.
Kai made a silent note to himself: make sure his mate was satisfied and comfortable throughout this heat. As Kai had always done for the previous heats.

BONUS!!!!
At about two in the morning, after a few hours of lewd praise and skin on skin, there was a small break time-frame in Green’s “needs”. Which prompted him to sit up in his nest, as Kai was beside him, arms around his waist.
“I’m thirsty,” Green simply stated, voice soft and slightly hazed over with exhaustion. He had this bad habit of being really blunt when he was all mushy. Kai propped himself up with his elbows, looking over to his omega.
“I’ll go grab you some—”
Kai was pushed back by a wide palm on his chest. “I want to do it. I’m not clumsy.” Suddenly Kai was remembering vaguely saying something about Green being clumsy in heat. Kai knew Green gets more sensitive and stubborn in his heat but damn.
But, to Kai’s entertainment, when Green had stepped out of the nest he had almost eaten shit the second he stood up. Kai let out a snort and was met with a betrayed look from Green.
“Sorry, my love. Do you want ice with it?”
Green ended up letting Kai get things he needed for him the remainder of his heat.
