Chapter Text

Akaashi climbed up the steps to his apartment, his eyes tiredly half closed to escape the milky light in the staircase, every step feeling heavier than the last.

His day has been long, lonely, and full of work. Now he just wanted another cup of coffee, flop down on the fresh sheets from his huge water bed and sleep till the next afternoon, when he would get up to repeat the same routine.

He finally reached the last step and walked with quick, quiet steps through the corridor over to his apartment. He knew the walls were thin, and that his neighbors appreciated it when he was silent, so their little children wouldn´t wake up.

And who would Akaashi be to deny them that?

As he unlocked the door and stared into the pushing dark silence of his apartment, Akaasih felt how his throat started to become tight and the loneliness came over him once again. It was every day the same when he returned back home. No matter how much he worked, how often he´d succeeded, as soon as he returned home, he was alone. It sucked.

Keiji always wished to have a family. When he was young, he always had a great relationship with his family, his mom his dad, and his two older siblings, and he wanted to have that for his own children as well.

He wanted to make them breakfast for school, to say at noon to his coworkers that he had to go because he needed to pick his little sunshine up and he wanted them to jump on him when he returned after a long day at work. He wanted to make endless movie nights with them, with ice cream and pillow fights.

Long story short: he wanted everything other parents cried for, he wanted his own children who he could raise to be good people and who would give him all the love he was craving for.

This thinking of Akaashi started at the age of seventeen. He had his first boyfriend at that time. He had a little sister, and it wasn´t rare that they took care of her when his parents wanted to go out.

His boyfriend, Kuroo Tetsurou was amazing. He was smart, gentle, funny and he was a hella good-looking alpha. Every girl in their school had been after him, a lot of boys as well, and Akaashi felt so honored as he asked him out.

He really loved Kuroo. He was his first true love. Akaashi couldn't count how many nights they have spent together on the couch, Kuroo´s arm around his shoulders while they watched a movie with his little sister. Kuroo had sure been a good kisser, and in bed, he was a real god, but their relationship was still not just based on sex. They had more cute moments than spicy ones, and Akaashi wanted to have that forever.

But Kuroo had been one and a half years older than Akaashi, and after they were together for a year, Kuroo broke up with him because he wanted to move away to go to college. He broke the omega´s heart with it. He tried a million times to convince Kuroo that he could wait and that they should try a long-distance relationship, at least until Akaashi was done with school.

But Kuroo didn't want that. He didn't want to wait, or to be the whole time afraid Akaashi would cheat on him. The dark-haired male surely promised him a billion times he wouldn´t, but Kuroo still broke up with him.

Kuroo left Akaashi´s life and a few months later even the country, and just three months later he got a new girlfriend with who he had been together for two years. Not like Akaashi checked.

After that, Akaashi had a few other relationships but in the end, his partners never showed off the potential to establish a family with them and bond himself with them like that. Akaashi tried because of that to get a family in other ways, but sadly you need to be married for sperm domination or to adopt a child. So, Akaashi´s dream couldn´t become true without a stable partner. The relation of that made the young omega almost give up his dream, and over the past months plunged Akaashi into his work so he wouldn´t fall into depression, which worked most of the time.

The omega slides out of his favorite trainers and bends down to pick them up and place them on their spot in the shoe cabinet. After that, Akaashi went into the bathroom to take a shower.

The dark-haired male loved long, hot showers. It felt amazing when the hot water streamed over his delicate, slender body and loosed the tenseness of his muscles. Especially after a long, exhausting day, it helped to lift his mood.

But today, it didn´t want to work.

Keiji stood 50 minutes under the hot jet of his shower and waited impatiently for the soft, light feeling he usually gets here to take over him and let his dark thoughts fade. But it didn´t come.

Akaashi wrapped his arms tightly around his upper body, his fingertips brushing his warm, wet skin, tears pricking in his eyes. It was a tender touch that gave Akaashi shivers. He wasn´t used to that anymore, and hell how did he crave some affection.

The author's hand dropped from his body and gripped the switch of the shower and turned the water off.

The sudden silence in the room was heavy but still pleasant and Akaashi let it wrap around himself when he climbed out of the shower, his body covered in a goosebump, and started searching for a towel. Water dripped off his wet, black curls onto his shoulder and the omega felt a soft tickle with every drop.

After Akaashi dried himself off with a towel and got dressed in some sweatpants and a huge hoodie, he tapped barefoot into the kitchen. Now where the warmth from the shower was gone, all that was left was the exhausting and tired feeling that was stuck to his core. He would prefer to just go to bed, but he didn´t eat since breakfast at nine and he was starving.

The omega yawned multiple times while he stood behind his cooking plate waiting for the oil in the pan to get hot. He decided he would just make himself an omelet with a few vegetables. It was simple but still healthy and quick.

The hiss of hot oil got Akaashi´s attention back and he gave the eggs and the vegetables in the pan. The young, dark-haired male was watching his food in the pan, not to miss the perfect moment when it was finished when his phone announced a message with a soft ping.

He took his phone out of his pocket and looked at the screen. He had a message from Shirabu, one of his closest friends. Curiously tapped Akaashi on the screen and opened it.

"Hey Akaashi, today I found out about a new project and I had to think of you for it. You don't have to be married for it, like for an artificial semination or for adoption. "

At first, Keiji didn't understand what his friend meant by “you don't have to be married for it”.

Under the words was a link pinned, on which the omega tapped curiously and waited patiently for the website to load.

A very modern designed website appeared on the screen and Akaashi read its title. “Share the luck and love”

The link the copperhead sent him there led to a website of a new project created by a male alpha named Semi Eita. The first sentence, which was written in huge violet letters, jumped into Keiji's tired eyes. "You have a baby wish, but you can't build up a family in the usual ways? We got you. "Share the luck and love" is a new, experimental project for...

The smell of burned food came into Akaashi's nose and made him throw his phone on the table before he ran to the pan.

His omelet looked like a piece of cole, sticking to the pan ruining it forever but Akaashi couldn't care less. He laid it in the sink, switched the water on, and let it run into the pan while he stepped to his table to take his phone back in his hands.

It turned off by now, but Akaashi hurried up to turn it back on, being greedy to find out what kind of project this was.

Akaashi read through the website, his eyes getting taller and taller. His jaw fell.

It worked like a mix between a dating platform, sperm domination, and maybe even a kind of adoption. Semi Eita created the project for people who can't get pregnant, because of the omega or the alpha's sperm and for single alpha's/omega's who wanted a family. Omega's like Akaashi.

You had to fill out a long questionnaire full of questions about the person's life and then there will be an alpha or an omega found that fits inside the specified conditions. When this person is found, they will contact you and you can meet up.

Should the two of you get along, you will tell the organization that the match works, and to their next heat&rute omega and alpha will be set up in a self-chosen place and naturally make a baby. Without any feelings for each other of course. The donor in that case will be paid through the organizations to whom you previously sent the amount so it doesn't give the vibe of whoring around and then their lives can go on after they wish for it.

Akaashi loved that idea. It was amazing. It was the solution to all his problems, all his depression, and everything.

By tapping on another link, Akaashi was led to the page to sign in to the project.

10 minutes later the omega pushed the "send" button and got a notification that he was now officially registered for the project "Share the luck and love"

Akaashi's pulse was way too high, his heart racing but he barely noticed that. He couldn't believe what just happened. Dinner was forgotten, and so was everything else.

On the next day, Akaashi woke up against his habit at nine o´clock and got dressed to go out. He still couldn´t believe what happened last night. As he woke up, he thought this all might have been a dream, a wonderful but painfully real feeling dream. But he checked his phone, and the email was still there. It hasn´t been a dream. It was real.

The omega left his apartment and headed to the next bus stop. He planned on driving to Shirabu in the clinic, so he could help him with the following process in the project., since he was known with those technical terms as a doctor and could Akaashi help with every question he didn´t understand.

Akaashi´s hands were trembling in excitement when he gave his dollar note to the bus driver to buy his ticket, and he needed to sit down because his shaking legs wouldn´t give him the needed support. But above all that, Akaashi was perfectly fine. His biggest dream would finally become real.

But as the raven-haired male arrived at Shirabu´s clinic, his enthusiasm faded when he was held back by a ginger female, the secretary of Family Clinic Center Tokyo Koneko Blossom. She must be new since Akaashi never saw her here before.

“Ma´am I know you are just doing your job, but I really have to see Shirabu-san now” Akaashi repeated for sure the 10th time and drums his fingers impatiently on the counter in front of her. He didn´t have the time for that. Well, basically he had, but he didn´t have the nerves for it.

Her dark brown eyebrows pulled together in a frown and her green eyes shoot fire as she looked up at the omega. “Akaashi-san, I already told you this is impossible right now. If you want to see him, you have to make an appointment. You can make one now, I can offer you one for the next Thursday-”

Akaashi had slowly enough of that shit. He usually wasn´t a harsh person, since he knew these people only did their job but today he really couldn´t deal with that. “That is too late! I need to see him immediately why won´t you understand that? Call him here, and he will explain and-”

“Excuse me? Sir, I think you didn´t understand. We are a family clinic, where you need appointments to talk with our doctors. It´s not possible to just rush inside and tell me how I have to do my job. I have to ask you to leave now, otherwise, I will call security on you.”

Her hand lays already on her telephone, and Akaashi felt how he teared up. Why does everything have to be so complicated?

The dark-haired male sighed already turning away from the counter, wanting to accept and leave when a similar voice appeared behind him and he felt like a stone fell off his heart.

“Sato-san? What´s going on?” Shirabu´s voice was surprisingly annoyed judging by the fact he was just working for a half hour yet when he stepped closer to the counter and glared down at the young woman, his hazel eyebrows being a sharp frown.

The judging expression she had shown to Akaashi faded from her face and was replaced by a charming, sweet smile with which she looked up at her superior. “Good morning Shirabu-san, he wanted to just rush in and talk with you without an appointment so I-”

She was cut off harshly by Shirabu´s sharp voice shortly after she started. “And you wanted to make him leave? Did he say he needs to see me? Immediately? And you just wanted to chase him away?!”

The secretary flinched under his harsh words and sank a little together. “Yes? I told him he should come back when he was an appointment-”

“Wrong! You should´ve called me and asked! Akaashi-san has an emergency which made me allow him to squeeze it into my schedule by today. What are you gonna say now, huh? Didn´t know that, hm?”

Shirabu´s tone was so sharp that he could cut her in half, harsh and at the same time so toxic that even Akaashi got shivers. Sato-san, who shrunk with every word of the doctor in her chair looked like she was about to cry. “I-i´m sorry Shirabu-san.” She finally said, stuttering.

The copperhead snapped at that “I hope so! You can be glad I´m in a good mood and won´t fire you! Next time call me, for that you have your goddamn telephone” He threw a short look over at Akaashi. “I must excuse myself for my secretary. She´s new. Follow me to my office”

Akaashi did as he was told and followed the smaller male into his office. Something he always admired about Shirabu´s personality was, that he wasn´t like other omegas shy and submissive. He had an opinion and he never took a leaf over his mouth to tell it.

Shirabu leads him right into his office and offers him to take a seat in front of his desk. Shirabu´s office was very well organized, modern, and quite cozy. Since the omega didn´t like bright colors it was held in black&wait tones with some pastel farb sprinkles here and there.

Akaashi dropped himself down on the cozie leather chair in front of Shirabu´s black, oakwood desk and watched the doctor pick two cups from a shelf above his printer and place them in the coffee machine he had in the office. He said it was more hygienic this way, but Akaashi was sure it was just so he could drink as much coffee as he wanted.

The two males stayed silent only the noise of coffee running through the machine and into the cups filling the room just like the delicious smell of it did. The hazel-haired doctor took the two cups after they were finished, and placed them on his desk, one next to his computer and one in front of Akaashi before he sat down in his own chair.

Shirabu owned one of those office chairs where you literally looked like a mafia boss who was about to kill you inside. Just the white cat on his lap was missing, which was because Kenjiro hated them. Or to say it more nicely, he preferred dogs.

“Thank you,” Akaashi said and reached for his cup, interrupting their silence, and threw a soft smirk in Kenji´s direction “So you are in a good mood today?”

The doctor smirked back gently and took a sip from his coffee “Yes. I don´t know why you sound like you wouldn´t believe me. Never saw me in this good mood before? Don´t make me look like the devil Keiji”

They shared a long, serious gaze before they burst out into laughter. They laughed long, loud, and with tears in their eyes. It felt amazing. Akaashi was sure he didn´t laugh like that in eternity.

“Thank you Kenjiro, I needed that badly” Akaashi wiped his tears gently and leaned back into his chair, feeling quite relaxed by now. He really enjoyed Shirabu´s company. “No need to thank me then, sweety. So what brought you to me today? I didn´t see you in months” The copperhead threw a long, judging gaze in Akaashi´s direction and the omega tried to hide behind his coffee cup.

“Yeah.. I´m sorry. I was pretty down because of- yeah and needed to distract myself with work. I barely did anything else the past months” Shirabu nodded understanding, took a sip of his coffee, and placed his cup back on the desk. “But now you don´t need to be down anymore!”

Akaashi smiled at the other´s enthusiasm and nodded. “Yeah, that´s why I am here. I wanted help with the questionnaire. It´s so long” Shirabu scrunched his nose at that. “Yeah, I know. I already complained about that by Eita, but he just added more questions to it.”

Akaashi looked again at his friend, his eyebrow up. “You two know each other?”

“Yeah, a bit. He came here in person to hire me for his project, well better said my clinic. We talk often because of the patients and other stuff” Akaashi could have sworn there was more, but if he was supposed to judge it on the other´s face it was impossible. Shirabu wore his usual, blank expression without any emotions behind.

“I will open your file then, we can fill out the questionnaire together” Shirabu´s tone was kind and when Akaashi nodded, he turned to the screen of his computer and opened the questionnaire himself.

Akaashi pulled his print from it out of his back and took a pen from Kenji´s desk. The first few questions were easy, what´s your name. How old are you, gender, second gender, career, family, address, number, email address. Akaashi filled it all out fast under the interested eyes of Kenjiro.

Then it slowly started to get more into detail. The project included a lot of, and Akaashi would have to search for his family papers to send them with the questionnaire back to the company.

Kenjiro read out a question loud “Are there any (sexual) diseases in your family?” Akaashi thought a moment about it. “I don´t think so? My great-grandpa died of cancer. But he was smoking a lot. He was the only one in our family. Definitely no sexual diseases not by me and not by my family”

Shirabu nodded pleased like he didn´t expect anything else from him and wrote that down into the document himself. “Any disorders, disabilities, or other genetic defects in the family known?”

Akaashi shook his head “No” “Allergies?” “No” “Blut group?” “0 positive”

Kenjiro´s fingers hit the keyboard. Silence.

“Did you have a struggle with getting pregnant even though the possibilities for it were fine and if yes did that happen in your family before?”

“I didn´t try it yet. I didn´t find the right partner. You checked me. I´m healthy” Shira nodded “And in your family fertility is fine? Yeah, your aunt just got her third pair of twins a month ago right?” Again, Akaashi nodded, Kenjiro´s fingers hit the keyboard and it was silence again.

They went on with the questionnaire, which took them hours. They spoke about if Akaashi had pets, if he had special wishes for the IQ of his child, what he liked to do in his free time, how his crime file looked, how much he would pay for the project if he had any wishes how the father or better said the domain should be like, his look or if he should have special characters and if Akaashi wanted the father to be a part of the child's life or if he wanted to raise it alone.

Around two hours later a few more embarrassing questions came up, and Akaashi really questioned how necessary those were. “I should list my kinks? What should that be good for”

Shirabu, who chewed around on a sweet smirked amused at his friend. “Didn´t you know that satisfying sex elevates the chance to get pregnant?”

“That´s bullshit”

“Who is the doctor, you or me?”

“I can´t do this. It´s too embarrassing.”

“Nooo not at all! It´s pretty normal. Look,” Shirabu cleared his throat and suddenly yelled “Goshiki!!!”

The bowl-cut doctor assistant stuck his head just three seconds later through the door, looking at Shirabu with huge eyes. “Yes, Shirabu-san?”

“Quick exam question: what are your kinks?”

“I have a praise kink and I like to be called many pet names in bed, some that show my partner is superior to me and some that show he is submissive more to me. I also like it if someone pulls on my hair” The dark-haired male said clearly, a strong blush spreading over his cheeks.

Shirabu´s eyes shone with mischief and he bit a piece of his sweet off when he said “Really Goshiki? A praise kink? How old are you, five? Do you really need to hear this bad you are doing well?” The doctor's tone was mocking, and it just caused Goshiki to blush even harder.

“Yes, Shirabu-san! That´s what I said. Can I do anything else for you, or may I leave?” He seriously bowed. That was the moment Akaashi burst out into a daughter, which gave him a confused side-eye from the other male. “You may leave,” Shirabu said and turned back to Akaashi like Goshiki never existed. “Look this easy”

A few more hours later, they finally finished this 100 pages questionnaire. In the meanwhile Shirabu chased Goshiki out, to buy the two males lunch which the younger male gladly did.

“It´s kinda mean to use that he has a crush on you,” Akaashi said when the bowl cut left the room again, some Asian noodles in front of him on the desk.

“Well that´s right but thanks to the fact I do you have lunch. You´re welcome” Shirabu took his chops sticks and started to eat.

Semi Eita definitely put a lot of effort into this questionnaire. With it, the two males analyzed Akaashi´s whole life. His sex experience, when was his last time, how often he usually has sex, if he was already pregnant before and if yes why not anymore, and when that was, if he was in a current relationship and if yes why they don´t just make a baby, if he had enough space for a child, if his career was safe enough and how long he wanted to have a baby already and if he can prove that like through a therapist.

Shirabu asked to bring this attestation to him the next time and also bring a negative test for sexual diseases from Akaashi and the person he sleeps with (when there was someone) like a boyfriend, fiance, fuckbuddy, husband, or any other, not definition able relationship.

When Akaash went home, he felt exhausted but at the same time light and free. Spending the day with Shirabu had felt good, and he would love to repeat that. He didn´t know how he could isolate from his friend like that the past months.

All those questions about Akaashi´s love life made the alpha think. It had been a while since he had a relationship. The last relationship he went out with was a two-year relationship with a man named Bokuto Koutarou.

Akaashi had really been in love with him, but Bokuto had been very focused on his sports career and didn´t want to have a family, he always said he just wanted Akaashi and that all to himself. In the end, he had been way too controlling, and Akaashi was forced to break up.

Of course, before him, there have been some other guys as well. There was Kuroo as his first boyfriend. After Akaashi got over the breakup, he tried the complete opposite of Kuroo.

He dated a younger boy, named Kageyama Tobio. He had black hair as well, but he wasn´t like Kuroo real smart or gentle, he was harsh and a little dumb. Akaashi found their time okay, but it didn´t replace what Kuroo always gave him. In the end, he cheated on him and they broke up.

His next boyfriend had again been a little more sweet and charming. His name was Oikawa Tooru. They had basically the same targets for their life, but he couldn´t give Akaasi what he needed. He was too full of self-love, to build up a family with.

Now, he is together with another omega, looking similar to Akaashi actually. Not that he checked.

Akaashi sighed softly when he unlocked the door to his apartment. He knew he was the problem. He would just take a long break from dating. Now, he would concentrate on getting a baby, and maybe when the child was about five years old he would start again.

But maybe this child could already give him everything he needed.

Akaashi slide out of his clothes until he was just wearing his underwear left, and swooped down on his bed. The sheets welcomed him back with their sweet vanilla scent and the soft fabric and Akaashi drifted into a deep dreamless sleep just two minutes later.

Chapter Text

Right on the next day, the omega went to a doctor to make a test for sexual diseases and sent it with all the other needed paper as fast as he could to "share the luck and love"

Since then, Akaashi spent his days waiting impatiently for a reply. It was tough, but Akaashi didn't want to expect too much. The project was still new, and there would probably not be an alpha found fast that would meet his requirements.

While he waited for a reply, Akaashi did his best to distract himself. He went every day to work and worked even harder on his new book. When he got back home he cooked a lot, baked new recipes he found online and wanted to try, watched movies, read a lot which also gave him a lot of inspiration for his own work, and went to bed.

Sometimes he met with Shirabu for lunch. It was nice to again spend time with his friend, and Akaashi didn't even get how he made it so long without Shirabu's loving, sarcastic personality in his life.

A month passed and Akaashi still didn´t hear anything from the company.

He tried to not be frustrated about it. Akaashi knew it could take a long while since it was an experimental project, after all, he really did.

Still, he often asks Shirabu if he maybe got any new information. What he of course didn´t, since he wasn´t personally involved in the project. Semi Eita made clear that all the personal information would be safe and would only be exchanged between the donor and the client.

And so slowly, the omega realized his friend was annoyed by his questions, so he really hoped he would get a reply soon and could leave Shirabu in peace.

Today was a very important day for Akaashi, then today he would promote his new book to a few potential investors and present it in front of his publisher. The dark-haired male was really excited.

He stood up at 6 a.m, completely against his habit, and prepared everything. He took a long shower so he would look and smell good. Afterward, he looked again over his presentation to be sure that he didn´t forget anything or if something was missing and practiced the presentation to himself while he ate breakfast.

An hour before he had to leave slid Akaashi into the tight, black suit he owned for exactly those important meetings. The omega stood a long time in front of the mirror, brushing his hair in an acceptable way and tribble checked if the suit wasn´t dirty or had wrinkles inside it.

After he was sure he was fine, left Akaashi his flat with his laptop, phone, wallet, and keys and got into his car, driving to the publisher´s firm building where they would meet up.

Akaashi had been there multiple times already, but it still made him nervous to park his car in the giant parking lot and go inside the building which had around 20 floors and was more giant than a castle, where princesses in fairytales were hidden inside.

Akaashi showed his pass at the information desk and went stumbling nervously into the elevator and pushed the button for the 11th floor, where his publisher was inside.

His lecturer was already there and greeted Akaashi when he arrived with a small hug. “How have you been Akaashi-san?”

On Akaashi´s lips grew a soft smile with which he looked at the other male after he pulled away from the hug. “I´ve been quite well how about you Sawamura-san? How is your family doing?”

Sawamura smiled at that and stroke a strand of his white hair behind his ear. “Very good. Daichi shortened his monthly hours at work so he can spend more time with Ichiwara, isn´t that cute? The little boy turned 3 a week ago. We made him a Bobo party, it´s his favorite series”

Usually, Keiji would feel jealous now. But since he had his own baby in sight he could only feel happiness for the omega in front of him. “That sounds enchanting, Sawamura-san”

A few minutes later arrived the representatives of the investors and the publisher for the meeting and Akaashi and Sawamura had to end their conversation and get ready for the meeting. Koushi sat down, while Akaashi stepped next to the whiteboard, cleared his throat, greeted the men that came there, and started the presentation.

The young omega stood in front of 10 other people next to Koushi, which sat around a huge table and held the presentation he prepared for his novel.

It was supposed to be about a young male omega in England who always wanted to be a part of the royal army, but it was a rule that only alphas could join them. The main character was supposed to prove strength and independence and in the end, became the first omega member in the royal army.

“And adding to his luck, he was supposed to fall in love with the second-born prince and they should get a happy ever after.” Said Akaashi as suddenly a phone started ringing.

Akaashi stopped talking for a moment, the new noise making him nervous but he decided to go on when he looked around at the faces of the men who were judging his new idea. It would stop at some point.

What Akaashi did not realize, was that it was his own phone that rang, and just blended the constant sound out. He kept talking and talking until Koushi stopped him. "Akaashi-san I think your phone is ringing"

The omega gave him a confused look, stopped with the presentation again, and pulled his phone out of his pocket. It was indeed his phone, and Akaashi blushed in embarrassment. The caller was an unknown number but Akaashi still wanted to pick it up. He was always scared something might be with his family, and never missed those calls.

"Let's take a short water break, and continue with the presentation afterward alright?" The voice of his light-haired lecturer let relief stream through Akaashi's veins and after the round of men agreed mumbling to the suggestion Akaashi gave them one of his bright, angelic smiles and left the room with fast steps.

His phone stopped ringing by now, but just 30 seconds later it started again. "So it must be important.." Akaashi mumbled and felt his gut twist while he accepted the call. "Akaashi Keiji, how can I help you?"

There was a moment of silence, in which Akaashi's heartbeat sped up and his brain created the worst scenarios.

The voice that answered, sounded deep like a growl, so deep that Akaashi at first didn´t understand what the man said. But when he did, he almost dropped his phone.

“My name is Ushijima Wakatoshi. We got matched by the project “Share the love and luck”. You must have got an email but perhaps I thought contacting you in person would speed up the progress we want to archive“

The author's heart skipped a few beats just to start beating again, his pulse fast and loud in his ears. He couldn't believe it, was this really happening? Or was he hallucinating?

The fact that he still held his phone with the ongoing call after he pinched his arm spoke against it. It must be real.

The omega swallowed heavily and finally replied “Well good day Ushijima-san, Thank you for your call. I didn´t see any mail yet, but I will check it as soon as possible” Ushijima replied with a pleased hum.

Akaashi didn't have the time for a proper call, he had to go back to his presentation so he said "Let's meet up to speak, okay? I'm at work"

It was a moment silent until the deep bass of Ushijima appeared again "Alright. I will inform you about a well location, let's say in 2 hours?"

Akaashi breathed out deeply and nodded, even though the alpha couldn't see. "Sounds wonderful, Ushijima-san"

To Akaashi's surprise, he was able to continue the meeting as calmly as possible. The excitement he felt just a second ago was washed away and he continued focused and professional.

After the meeting was over he thanked everyone for their attention and apologized for the small interruption, but they all were too enchanted by Akaashi's cute kind to be bothered by it. Akaashi was sure he had a good chance that they would print his new idea.

Now, when Akaashi was on the way to the location Ushijima sent him, the omega felt how he got nervous again. He really hoped Ushijima would be a kind guy, and that he didn't have too many requirements. But on the other hand, when they were a match, they must have almost the same right? Akaashi hoped for it.

The young author arrived at the cafe the alpha chose and took a moment to collect himself. This was so important, and he really didn't want to mess up.

Akaashi's hand was shaking as he reached for the door and stepped inside. He was definitely nervous.

The cafe was tall, modern design local white marble walls, a black marble floor, and golden tables and chairs. It looked really fancy and expensive, and Akaashi prepared himself to meet an arrogant, smudged snoop.

He looked around and just realized that he didn't know what Ushijima looked like. How was he supposed to find him?

"Akaashi-san?" The omega turned around when he heard the quite familiar bass of Ushijima saying his name. The man, which he assumed must be Ushijima, was a tall man in a black suit that didn't look smudged at all but professional.

Akaashi was wearing one himself since he heated up after the presentation right here without going home.

"Yes? You must be Ushijima-san" The dark-haired omega walked closer to the other male so they wouldn't scream the whole time through the cafe, his eyes traveling slowly over the man behind the table.

Ushijima was a tall guy, with fluffy but still well-brushed green hair and a handsome face. His brows looked like a scowl, but the small wrinkles on the corner of his eyes softened his expression and showed off that he was a man who laughed a lot.

He had a strong jaw which was well trimmed and from the corner of his dress shirt could the omega see a really muscular neck. Ushijima´s whole body seemed to be well-trained under the heavy fabric of his suit, as far as Akaashi could tell.

Ushijima reached his hand out over the table for Akaashi to shake it. It felt silly to Akaashi to shake his hand as they would talk about a simple business but let's be honest that was exactly what they gonna do.

His hand was tall, his fingers long and thick but they still looked forbidden beautiful. Akaashi always had a thing for those hands. As he grabbed the alpha´s hand and shook it, his small hand almost fully disappeared in it and Akaashi could see how a vein came out under Ushijima's skin.

Ushijima´s grip was firm, his skin soft and warm. Akashi enjoyed the short touch and gave the alpha a bright smile. “It´s really pleasant to meet you~”

Ushijima seemed to be irritated for a moment but caught himself just after a few seconds, his warm hand leaving Akaashi´s. “Let´s sit down, Akaashi-san.”

Luckily, Ushijima wasn´t snoopy at all. The opposite was the case, he was polite, kind, and modest. After they ordered something, Akaashi had a coffee and some chocolate cake, and Ushijima had an espresso with a sugar-free hazelnut cake, the two males started to talk.

Akaashi found out that Ushijima grew up on a farm in a nearby village. He had an older sister, who founded her own fashion company, and he had a quite good relationship with his grandfather, which Akaashi thought was really adorable.

He also found out that the alpha was just three years older than he was himself, 30 years old, married to a beta for 5 years, and that he worked as a surgeon. Akaashi thought this fitted very well with his calm and focused attitude. He also told him his best friend was a doctor as well, and Ushijima seemed to be very interested in this similarity between them.

Akaashi noticed before that Ushijima seemed to be a very athletic and healthy person, and during their conversation, he even found out why. He went every morning on a jog and four times a week to the gym for multiple hours. Akaashi was impressed. Ushijima also told him that he only ate after a special diet, to give his body everything he needed and nothing more. Akaashi liked that lifestyle since he also took care of his health and the things he ate, especially since he signed into the project.

The alpha started to work at his parent's farm at the age of 8, carrying bales of straw, heavy buckets of water or animal feed, mucking out stables, leading animals around, and, from the age of 13, even assisting the veterinarian with the births of foals, calves or lambs. That was what fascinated Ushijima the most and what let him decide in the end to become a med student.

Akaashi felt almost stupid with his modest job next to it, but Ushijima still seemed to be very interested in Akaashi's career and his life

The omega also found out that they had a lot in common. They both liked to drink coffee, worked most of the time the day, had a good education, and enjoyed reading in their free time.

Ushijima seemed to be almost excited as he heard that Akaashi was an author. The focus is laying on almost, his expression barely changed.

“I will make sure to read a book from you in soon future, Akaashi-san. I´m thrilled to find out about what you write, even though I assume it must be very well”

Akaashi's face turned red at the compliment and he couldn´t stop smiling. This guy was really kind.

Soon after, they both decided that they were sympathetic to each other and that they wanted to accept the match. Akaashi called the project to inform them about it as it was asked in the mail he got.

Apparently, he disturbed Mr. Semi with anything because he sounded quite breathless when he accepted the call and a bit messy.

After he returned to Ushijima they started talking about the serious and important details.

“As you know, Akaashi-san I´m married. Perhaps you must be wondering why I´m joining a project like that” Akaashi was, but Ushijima didn´t seem like he expected an answer and just went on talking.

“My husband is a beta, so it´s unfortunately not possible for us to ground a family. It was actually his idea that I sign into this project since I´ve been wanting to have a family since my childhood.” Ushijima smiled, he seemed very touched at the thought of his husband.

“If I remember correctly, you stated in your questionnaire that you didn't care whether the donor was present in the child's life,” Ushijima said in a professional tone and looked at Akaashi´s face with a concentrated frown, who nodded.

“That´s right. I don´t mind when you are a part of the child´s life. I just want to have this baby”

This time Ushijima nodded, and Akaashi dared to add “Sounds like your husband is a very understanding man”

The corner of Ushjima´s mouth curled up into something like a smile. “Satori is a wonderful person, I can´t deny that. He is usually more of a spontaneous type of human, so I was quite surprised when he told me he wanted me to have a child. I didn´t know he would be okay with it. He is quite overprotective if you understand”

Akaashi did. Oikawa had been the same.

Now where that was cleared, they just needed to talk about the last details.

“Since we have the same circle, I assume your heat must be in a month,” Ushijima said, and Akaashi nodded. “Your assumption is right, Ushijima-san.”

The alpha´s expression suddenly changed, just a bit, and Akaashi didn´t know him well enough to know what that meant, but when he should guess he looked concentrated.

“Is there anything, I should look for during our sexual interaction? Anything that is necessary for you to feel pleasure?”

His words beat into Akaashi making him speechless and he could feel his face burning. How could he say something like this out loud like it was a casual question?

Ushijima didn´t seem to understand why Akaashi reacted like that and just looked at him patiently for his reply. Akaashi needed another long moment of silence until he found his voice back and replied shyly “Didn´t you say you saw my questionnaire? Can´t you read my sexual preferences there?”

Ushijima´s frown cut deeper and he shook his head lightly. “This is a good question Akaashi-san. In my opinion, people write a lot of nonsense into those questions, and I want to hear from you personally about what I should do. Now where we met face-to-face you might feel more comfortable than when you filled out the questionnaire and felt bold enough to tell me more than you wrote inside there”

Ushijima´s way of thinking surprised Akaashi deeply. He hasn't even thought about something like that. When he was being honest, he wouldn't really feel comfortable with the fact that strangers could just read his preferences after they got matched, and he understood why Ushijim wanted to be sure that he knew everything he had to know about Akaashi.

It somehow made him feel relieved and… safe. Even though in front of him sat a stranger.

“Well... I like it when my partner shows me his strength through for example pinning my hands over my head. Do you understand what I mean?” Akaashi's face was burning while he spoke. He didn't know how to explain his kinks to this man.

But Ushijima seemed to understand anyway and nodded his tall head. “Alright. Anything else?”

Akaashi thought a moment about it. “I have sweet spots I like to be touched on. For example my ear, or my nipples” He could swear his face turned even darker but Ushijima didn´t laugh or anything else, he took this conversation death seriously.

“Your ear?”

“Yeah”

“I should touch it?”

“No, tease it. With your teeth”

“Alright. How long can you stand?”

“What?”

“I mean how long you can take it? I usually need a little bit longer to come”

That was the moment Akaashi really wanted to die of embarrassment. “That´s okay, I have the same problem. Even though I didn't have sex in a while, so I might be a bit sensitive. But I can stand as long as you need it”

Ushijima seemed satisfied. “Also, I really enjoy scratches. I noticed already you´ve got some nice nails. I wouldn't mind if you used them during our sexual interaction” A small blush spread over his cheeks.

Akaashi felt flustered “Oh thank you- I will think of it. I promise.”

Luckily, Ushijima dropped the topic afterward and they spoke more about casual things, like work, family, or free time activities. The more Akaashi found out about the man in front of him, he liked him more and he could actually imagine being friends with him. Which was very good, judging by the fact they would have to raise a kid together.

When the two males left the cafe after many hours, it was already dark outside and it got noticeably colder. “My apology, Akaashi-san that I claimed such a huge amount of your time today” The alphás expression looked like the one of a puppy, who accidentally broke its toy. Akaashi didn´t know what to reply.

“Oh don´t worry Ushijima-san, I really enjoyed my time with you. I couldn´t imagine that I could have found a better company for this afternoon”

Maybe Shirabu, but if Akaashi was being honest not even Shirabu. He could never replace the calmness that Ushijima radiated and which got Akaashi over the past hours as calm as he wasn´t since a long month.

They said goodbye with another professional handshake, even though Akaashi would have liked to hug Ushijima. He really liked the older alpha, in a friendly way of course.

Their ways separated and Akaashi started to walk home, while Ushijima sat down in his white pick-up and drove home. In his opinion, the meeting went very successfully.

On the way home, Akaashi tried to call Shirabu, to tell him what had happened this afternoon, but the young doctor didn´t pick up. Akaashi didn´t waste a thought on it, he was surely still busy at work or already sleeping. Sometimes, he had to get up for surgeries in the morning at 5 a.m.

Akaashi didn´t know how he did that. He could never get up before 6 a.m. which he hardly and very rarely does.

When the omega arrives home, he suddenly felt like he was starving. He ate only the chocolate cake over the whole afternoon, and now he really needed to eat something proper.

Akaashi slide out of his clothes and started to prepare himself spaghetti bolognese wearing only his dress shirt. He felt incredibly light and happy, he still couldn't believe his luck.

He thanked god, that he found this project when he needed it the most and for sending him such a kind donor. His life seemed to be complete.

Now, it just had to work, and Akaashi needed to get pregnant.

Chapter Text

In the following month, Akaashi and Ushijima spoke almost every day with each other, in person or on the phone, preparing the last important things before the pregnancy, clearing up business information for the project, and at some points just asking how each other was doing. They have become friends in such a short period of time and Akaashi looked forward to raising a child with the young, kind alpha.

When Akaashi wasn't working, which he did way harder now since he knew he would take a break from work for a long while, or when he wasn't talking with Ushijima, he spent time at Shirabu's clinic, for necessary health checkups or to catch up with the hazel haired male. Often with some food or coffee.

And often with Eita.

Akaasji really found that suspicious, but when he asked the hazel-haired doctor about it, he just shrugged and said "We work together. He is often here to take care of new patients and success."

The author still had the feeling that there was more, but he also trusted Shirabu that he would tell him if he felt comfortable enough for it. Maybe it wasn't something of Akaashi and maybe it was his own fault for letting Shirabu for so long alone.

When Akaashi walked inside the family clinic for today's lunch with Shirabu, he was greeted with the loud bang of a confetti cannon and a loud cheering Shirabu.

Akaashi flinched at the bang from the cannon and covered his eyes to protect them from the confetti out of instinct. He heard a few people clap and when he opened his eyes he saw Shirabu, with a wide smirk and the cannon in his hand, Eita behind him, and Shirabu's secretary Sato who eyed the confetti on the floor with a soft frown. Probably because Shirabu would make her clean that mess.

“Shirabu what the hell??” Akaashi bushed some confetti off his shoulders and looked at his friend, whose smirk just got even wider.

“Akaashi! Congratulations! It’s soon fuck time with that handsome doner of yours!” The doctor announced loudly and a few old ladies that sat in the waiting room looked over to them with a judging stare.

Akaashi blushed. “You are crazy!” Shirabu chuckled softly and dropped the cannon to the floor before he stepped closer and hugged Akaashi. The dark-haired male didn´t need to see his friend's face to know he was smirking.

“But my dear Keiji, it's a very important fuck in your life. We have to celebrate it” He took a step back and held Akaashi´s biceps gently “Look at you, growing up so fast. Oh, Akaashi” Shirabu sniffed, but it was obviously fake. Akaashi couldn´t remember if he ever saw his friend showing emotion if it wasn't anger or like right now to mock him.

The author made a face. “Fuck you”

Shirabu dropped his smirk and replied with a dead serious face “Funny, just wanted to say the same. But that takes one day left, right?”

That was the moment in which the two males burst out into a burst of laughter. As Akaashi looked behind Shirabu, Semi and Secretary Sato seemed a little lost. “Whose idea was it actually with the cannon?”

Shirabu throws a gaze over his shoulder to Semi “It was Eita´s idea”

And again Akaashi was sure that there was a tension between the two males he couldn't read.

He bowed his head softly at the alpha, a respectful gesture. “Thank you then Semi-san”

The blonde seemed surprised. Not a wonder, judging by the fact that Shirabu was his normal company. Shirabu didn´t have respect for many people, they had to earn that. And apparently, Semi did not earn his respect yet.

Akaashi smiled softly “Will you be eating with us again Semi-san?”

It was Shirabu who replied “No, he just wanted to leave. It’s just the two of us today” Semi nodded and said, a little bit too fast for Akaashi’s taste “Yes exactly I just wanted to go”

The omega threw a skeptical gaze between the two males and then just shrugged “Alright then let's get going. See you around Semi-san”

The blonde seemed relieved and tilted his head in a soft bow “It was as always a pleasure to see you Akaashi-san. See you around” He threw one last gaze at Shirabu, who didn´t seem to realize it and left, his black coat flying after him and some confetti sticking to his shoe.

Shirabu clapped loudly in his hands “Alright! Akaashi let’s go to my office. Sato? Find someone who cleans that mess and go back to work”

Without even waiting for a reply, Shirabu turned and left for his office, Akaashi following him closely. Sato seemed surprised, and most likely relieved she wouldn´t have to clean the confetti off the floor and bowed, even though Shirabu was already gone. “Yes Shirabu-san”

Shirabu leads Akaashi to a quite fancy, Italian restaurant around the counter. The dark-haired omega was impressed by the huge, old building the restaurant was built in and admired the beautiful interior decoration.

They sat down on a small table, which was made out of expensive-looking, hazelwood. The chairs they sat on were very comfortable, the wood of it overdrawn with wine-red or black cushions. If Akaashi thought about it, the whole restaurant was exactly Shirabu´s style.

“How did you find the restaurant? It looks extremely fancy, but I don’t see many customers?” Akaashi asked after they sat down at the table and had the menu cards open in front of them.

Shirabu didn´t look at him when he replied as monotone as always “Eita showed me. We eat lunch here sometimes. On his costs of course”

Akaashi couldn´t help but stare. Did his friend seriously admit that he and his work partner go eat together? Where he pays like it would be a date?

Shirabu seemed to feel Akaashi´s stare and lifted his eyes from the card looking above the edge of it over to Akaashi “It's not like that, Keiji. We aren't together or something. Really”

The expression in Shirabu´s caramel eyes seemed honest, but Akaashi still asked “Really?”

“Really. We are not dating. We go eat sometimes, and you know I´m a picky eater. And he earns better than I do, so it´s only fair” Shirabu kept eye contact, which already showed that he was honest. It really seemed like he was.

Still, Akaashi saw in the caramel iris of his friend, that there was something he did not tell him.

The tension between them seemed to tear tense, the silence between them hurting in the ears.

Akaashi finally nodded, and dropped his eyes to the menu “Alright”

A waiter came over to their table and asked what they would like to drink. Shirabu ordered a Coke, and Akaashi decided on citrus water. Both were served in very fancy glasses and with a citrus disk inside. Akaashi oppressed the urgency to take a picture.

The waiter eyed the two males with a kind expression “Does the kind sirs already know what to order?”

Shirabu looked questioningly at Akaashi “Do you?” Surprisingly, Akaashi did. He nodded.

The waiter got a small block out of his apron and looked at the males waitingly. “I would like to have a fettuccine alfredo please,” Akaashi said and the waiter nodded. “Good choice”

Shirabu ordered a Saltimbocca and to it tomato mozzarella and bruschetta which they would share.

The waiter wrote all of that down and left their table with a slight bow. While he walked away, Shirabu´s eyes were clued to his behind. “I´d really like to order a piece of that cake~”

Akaashi, who just took a sip of his water choked on it. “Shirabu!”

The hazel-haired male looks over at him surprised “What? Didn´t you see how handsome he is??”

Ofc Akaashi did. “But we are adults you can´t just say something like that” Shirabu took a sip of his coke “You just saw that I can, didn´t you?” He was right and Akaashi took another sip so he would stop coughing.

“You´re a needy bastard Shirabu”

“You can say slut, I´m not ashamed”

The omegas grinned at each other and when the waiter returned to their table with the bruschetta and the tomato mozzarella Akaashi couldn't help but burst into a laugh.

The waiter looked at him a bit irritated and served the food before he left. Shirabu didn't even look at him again and joined in Akaashi's laughter until the guest in a radius of 4 meters turned towards the two like crazy laughing males.

They wiped the tears they cried during the laugh attack and their food was delivered a few minutes later.

"Enjoy your meal" Akaashi smiled at his friend and picked his fork up and started to eat his delicious fettuccine. Shirabu didn't reply, he just nodded and started to eat as well.

Akaashi understood, the food smelled so delicious.

And it tasted even better.

15 Minutes later the plates of the two male omega's were empty and their stomachs were filled with fettuccine, saltimbocca, bruschetta, and tomato mozzarella.

Still, they went on ordering a huge chocolate cake, and Shirabu said he would pay.

"You really don't have to," Akaashi tried to change his mind probably thousands of times but Shirabu just waved it off. "We are celebrating. It's fine. I have enough money"

Akaashi did too, but he decided it might be best if he just let his friend do what he wanted. "Fine but only if it's really alright"

Shirabu rolled his eyes, but Akaashi knew it was meant in a friendly way "Of course it is"

The waiter came again and brought the cake with two forks and small plates. Shirabu smiled at him and so did Akaashi "Thank you"

The waiter smiled, surprised, and bowed softly. "Enjoy your cake Sirs" He left again and Shirabu cut the cake into 2 pieces, placed each piece on a plate, and smiled at his friend. "Enjoy your cake Keiji!"

The dark-haired barista smiled and took his fork "Yes you too!"

Later that day, when Akaashi prevented his flat from looking like a total mess by cleaning up a few things that lay around, he thought about the day he just had. He was actually really lucky, to have a best friend that supported him like that. In general, he was really lucky to have Shirabu, because without him he would have never found the project.

The author had to admit that he started to become nervous by now. Ushijima would arrive tomorrow since his rute would start tomorrow and so would Akaashi´s heat.

He really hoped it wouldn´t be too awkward when they sleep with each other. Ushijima and he had been speaking more about sexual preferences, but in Akaashi´s view, it shouldn´t feel so planned, so stiff.

“Whatever,” Akaashi said and tried to shrug his anxiety off. It would be alright. Even if it feels stiff, they didn´t mean to come together, they want to make a baby. That´s the idea of the project.

Akaashi stuffed some dirty clothes in the washing machine and turned it on, planning to let it run over the night, and went to the sink to brush his teeth.

While the omega was brushing his teeth, he looked at himself in the mirror. In his opinion, he was quite the basic type of guy, Black hair, slim, mid-huge body that wasn´t really muscular, and not especially beautiful either.

Akaashi asked himself if becoming a parent would change him. Of course, a lot of things would change. But would it be visible? Sure on his body, scars or stretching stripes but would it also make him look… wiser?

Akaashi shook his head, spit the toothpaste out, and washed his face. It was silly to think of something like that. He was probably just tired. Tomorrow, everything would look different.

The omega turned the lights off in the whole flat and laid down in his bed. He had a nice, comfortable bed with enough space for two. And tomorrow, exactly this space would be used. Or if he didn´t feel comfortable with that, Ushijima could sleep in the guest room. He was married, after all.

The dark-haired male closed his eyes slowly, giving them a rest from working all day. His breath went calm and steady and Akaashi began to slowly drift into a deep, dreamless sleep.

On the next morning, Akaashi was woken up by his alarm clock at 7 a.m. He got up and went to take a shower. He still had 3 hours until Ushijima would arrive and he wanted to look and smell good for him.

As the hot water spray met Akaashi's tense shoulders, he could finally calm down. The stress started to wash off him slowly, like the soap and the shampoo he put on his body, and disappear in the drain with the foamy water like a bad dream.

Akaashi took his sweet time in the shower, washing his body and his hair multiple times, brushing his tears, and in the end just enjoying the warm water on his skin. It was arousing.

After the stepped out of his shower, Akaashi dried his body off and slide into some tight jeans and a comfortable sweater. He decided that he still had enough time to dry his hair with the hair dryer and afterward he even stayed a few more minutes in front of the mirror to style his black, curly hair a bit.

The omega studied his face in the mirror and smiled pleased. He looked good. His hair looked fresh, glossy, and thanks to the little effort for styling it ramed Akaashi´s pale face perfectly. The omega´s eyes shone happy and awake, and Akaashi realized the eyebags from a month ago had disappeared fully. It made him look younger.

As the doorbell rang, sat Akaashi currently on his couch, a cup of his favorite tea in his hand, and a book on his lap. He looked up and walked over to the door while throwing a gaze at the clock. This must be Ushijima. Perfectly on time, just as he expected it from him.

Akaashi took a long, shaky breath and wiped his hands on his pants because it felt like his palms were sweaty. Now things would get serious.

He opened the door with a firm yank and greeted Ushijima with a bright, angelic smile. “Good morning Ushijima-san! I hope you had a good ride here?”

The young alpha in front of the door seemed to be just as well rested as Akaashi was “Good morning Akaashi-san, thank you for asking I had a pleasant journey here”

Akaashi smiled “Wonderful. Come in! Should I help you with your luggage?” Ushijima shook his head, a rare sweet smile playing on his lips. “That is a very kind offer of you Akaashi but I´m alright don´t worry about me”

The omega nodded and stepped aside to make the other male space to enter his flat. Ushijima cleaned his shoes on the shoe mat in front of the door and stepped inside the flat. His gaze flew around curiously after he hung his jacket on the wardrobe and he had placed his shoes in the shoe cabinet.

“You have a nice place Akaashi-san”

The dark-haired male smiled, feeling a warm feeling spread in his chest. He knew Ushijima was a really honest person, and if he said things like that, he meant them.

“Thank you Ushijima-san”

The two males walked into Akaashi´s guest room and the omega helped Ushijima to stuff his clothes in the closet. Just as he thought, Ushijima would also feel more comfortable if they slept in separate beds, because of his husband.

After that, Akaashi realized how hungry he was. It was almost 11 a.m. and he still did not eat a single bite. “I´m starving, Ushijima-san, do you want to have breakfast with me? Or, more brunch?”

Ushijima left out a low chuckle. “Thank you for inviting me, Akaashi-san, but I did already eat. My husband baked us stones this morning” The dark-haired male smiled softly “How sweet of him. “

Ushijima still accompanied Keiji to the kitchen and took a seat on one of the bar hookers by the kitchen island the omega owned. Again his eyes traveled around, scanning every little detail. His gaze stopped at the sight of Akaashi´s coffee machine and the huge shelf with different sorts of coffee beans and spices from all around the world.

“You like coffee, Akaashi-san?”

Akaashi, who just started to cut vegetables for a healthy breakfast omelet and turned his head towards the alpha and followed his gaze. “Oh yes, a lot” This was a total understatement. Akaashi was in love with coffee, not to say obsessed with it. But Ushijima seemed pleased with the answer and Akaashi went back to his omelet.

“Ouch!”

Akaashi jumped back from the cooking plate, holding his hand with that he just bumped against the hot pan.

"Are you okay Akaashi-san?"

Suddenly, Ushijima was next to the omega and took his wrist carefully to take a look at it. His fingers brushed gently over Akaashi's soft skin and he could feel a goosebump run over his whole body.

Ushijima had tall hands and fingers. He had working hands, with rough skin from using his hands. Those hands told stories. They weren't innocent or shy. They belonged to a hot, proper man who was just there to give Akaashi his cock and a baby with it.

Akaashi felt dizzy, his mind getting cloudy from all the arousing thoughts about the alpha in front of him. But suddenly, he realized how close the alpha stood to the dangerous pan.

"Careful! It's still hot!" Akaashi grabbed the alpha's arm gently and pulled him aside. Ushijima's expression seemed confused, but he followed where Akaashi pulled him.

The omega looked up into the other's handsome face, letting his gaze travel slowly over the muscular jaw, thick neck, and broad shoulders.

"But not as hot as you are, Ushijima-san~"

It was a thought that slipped right from his mind over his tongue in the world. But Akaashi wasn't ashamed that it did.

The corner of Ushijima's mouth pulled into a smirk as his other hand curled gently into Akaashi's neck and pulled him close, whispering with his deep bass against Akaashi's soft, pink lips.

"Then be careful that you don't burn yourself, Akaashi-san~"

The omega felt shivers run over his whole body, his lips tickling under the hot breath of Ushijima exploding on his lips.

He felt a wave of submission run through his veins and he felt how much his body was suddenly craving for the pleasure the alpha in front of him would give him.

It seemed like Ushijima knew what was going on in Akaashi's body, his eyes mirroring Akaashi's desire.

Their bodies connected into a wild, passionate kiss. Akaashi didn't know who started it, but suddenly Ushijima was everywhere, his lips locked with the omega's lips, his hands on Akaashi's waist and his hips pressed against Akaashi's lower part.

Akaashi's arms slung around Ushijima's muscular neck, while he sucked in desperation on the other's low lip, craving to get more than just kisses.

Ushijima's hand left Akaashi's body, turned the cooking plate off, and was back on the omega, stroking over his back, his ass until he got a firm grip on the omega's thighs, spreading them apart as he picked him up and made him wraps his legs around his hips.

Akaashi barely noticed that the alpha was moving, until they fell together on Akaashi's bed, being too busy burying his hands in the thick, green hair of the other male.

He let out a surprised squeal as his back hit the bedsheets and pulled away from the kiss to take a breath, his eyes laying with a heated gaze on the alpha above him.

Ushijima's breath was messy, Akaashi's drool making his lips shine deliciously in the low light that fell through the window.

Ushijima crashed his lips back down on Akaashi's mouth, taking the omega's hands away from his neck and pinned them down on the mattress, his lips pressing wilder against Akaashi's mouth while a deep growl worked its way up his throat.

The alpha's length poking against Akaashi's thighs drove him completely crazy, his desire growing bigger with every second just like Ushijima's cock did, a few quiet moans escaping through the dark-haired's lips.

Their clothes flew once after the other on the floor, decorating Akaashi's black laminate floor with a few splashes of color.

Ushijima reached over to Akaashi's nightstand, where he knew the omega had lube stuffed and Akaashi pulled away from the kiss again, panting, letting his eyes travel over Ushijima's arousing body.

The alpha was a huge, athletic, and through and through attractive guy. The dark-haired male almost escaped a gasp at the sigh of the tense back muscles that worked under the alpha's skin while he opened the drawer of the nightstand, his whole body feeling hot and needy for the alpha´s touch.

Akaashi couldn't control his hands when they suddenly moved and stroked slowly over the warm, smooth skin, at first, just gentle brushing with his fingertips, then starting to leave long, teasing scratches over the alpha's back, sharing the impatience that tortured the omega.

He heard Ushijima hiss and felt his length twitch against the sensitive skin on his thighs, which stole another needy sound from his throat.

Ushijima covered his fingers with the lube, lining them up to Akaashi's hole, smearing some of the cold lube against his thigh.

Akaashi's hand rushed forward and grabbed Ushijima's wrist, his grip harder than he meant it.

The alpha's stare was burning when it met Akaashi's eyes, demanding an explanation for that.

"D-don't”

"But I have to stretch you out, Akaashi-san" The alpha´s expression was completely understanding.

"I did that already. Don't worry"

Ushijima's eyes widened surprised but he accepted with a slight nod and took his hand away from Akaashi's legs as fast as the omega let go.

Over Akaashi's pale cheeks spread a hard blush at the alpha's surprised reaction. They didn't speak about it before, but Akaashi was sure it would help to not let this become too intimate and make it feel too much like they were lovers. This was a business fuck.

Ushijima sat back down on his heels, his hand closing around the lube again while his free hand clenched around his cock.

The alpha covered his length with the lube before he took the omega's hips with a firm grip. Keiji gasped softly and gripped onto the bedsheets as the alpha lined up, the cold lube slicking down the omega's ass slowly chasing shivers over his body before he pushed into Akaashi.

Being filled from Ushijima was a completely different experience for Akaashi. It was like he lost his virginity again, but the pain was sweet and needed, the way Ushijima's huge length filled him out fully, like a missing piece from a puzzle stealing a gasp from his throat.

Ushijima was good at this.

Forbidden good.

His rough hands kept a firm grip on Akaashi's hips, holding him in place as he fucked into him, over and over again, his muscular thigh creating beautiful music with slapping against Akaashi's, his huge cock making the omega moan loudly.

Akaashi´s hand gripped tightly into the alpha´s back, his nails digging into the flesh which just seemed to give the alpha the energy to move harder, what he did. While Akaashi´s moans were loud and messy, from the painful pleasure, Ushijima´s groans were quiet and kind of calm, his breath just hitching from time to time, but else stayed just as steady as usual.

It made Akaashi feel embarrassed, but Ushijima didn´t seem to mind it at all, and just went on with his steady, hard thrusts inside Akaashi.

When Akaashi was being, honest, he didn´t expect the alpha to be this huge. But after some more thrusts, he got used to the alpha´s thickness and the harsh pace he was thrusting in and finally had the nerve to think about something else.

Akaashi wrapped his legs gently around the alpha´s broad hips, pushing him with his heels more toward him.

Ushijima got this as a plead to thrust deeper, and now he hit Akaahsi´s sweet spot in just the perfect ankle, his thick tip fucking against it even faster after he saw Akaashi squirm and felt his nails dig deeper into his back. The alpha just knew he found the spot, and if he was being honest, the omega´s sounds turned him on, his thick tip twitching eagerly when he speed up.

Akaashi felt literally full, full of Ushijima, his cock, his scent, and full of the pleasure the alpha gave him. It was too much for his body, and the alpha started to send off a heated, spicy scent that spread very fast in the room laying thick in the air.

He couldn´t control it, his body did it all by himself.

But Ushijima didn´t mind at all.

The alpha twitched inside the dark-haired male as the arousing scent came into his nose, his head dropping down in the omega´s neck to inhale the scent, his mind snapping as his hips snatched for and back harder to the point he was stuck in Akaashi, his knot spreading the omega open further.

Akaashi gasped when that knot forced him open further and couldn´t help but come across his belly leaving a white mess on his soft, pale skin.

He blushed and looked up at Ushijima breathing heavily, meeting the alpha´s sweaty face with his bangs sticking to his forehead with his gaze. They didn´t speak, just looked at each other breathlessly while Ushijima was so deeply buried inside Akaashi, both glad about the short break but also not fully satisfied.

A few minutes later in which the alpha filled Akaashi up with his cum to the top, his knot began to swell down again to the point he was free. Ushijima grabbed gently in the inside of Akaashi´s knees, laying his legs on his shoulder, and started to fuck into him again.

When Akaashi woke up the next day, the sun was already shining through the window. He sat up slowly, a low groan leaving his throat. His back hurt, just like his legs and behind did. He turned around to see if he woke Ushijima, but had to see the bed was empty.

Akaashi couldn´t remember how long they have been doing it the past day, and he couldn´t remember when Ushijima left the bedroom.

But apparently, he did. Of course, it was their deal after all.

Akaashi sat up slowly and waited until the pain got less, before he slipped into boxer shorts and a bathrobe, leaving the room to use the toilet and walk afterward into the living room, where Ushijima was sitting with a cup of coffee in his hand.

“I hope you don´t mind Akaashi-san?” He smiled warmly.

Akaashi shook his head slightly, a little confused by the alpha in front of him because he wasn´t fully awake yet.

“Not at all Ushijima-san. How did you sleep?”

Ushijima hummed deeply “I slept wonderful. Your guest room bed is very comfortable” That made Akaashi smile “Thank you Ushijima-san”

After a few more minutes of speaking, Akaashi got up to make them breakfast. He made scrambled eggs, toast, and scones.

Ushijima helped him to set the table, and they sat down eating the food happily and calmly, both of them drinking another cup of coffee and just enjoying the moment.

After the calm breakfast, the two males cleaned the table ad started to do the dishes. Actually, Akaashi owned a dish machine, but Ushijima said since it wasn´t so much to do, they could also wash it by hand.

And that was what they did, Akaashi washed the dishes and Ushijima dried them.

Akaashi´s hands moved on autopilot, so he had the chance to watch Ushijima drying off the dishes. He had a very beautiful side profile, and it looked way too arousing to see his muscles work under his t-shirt while drying the dishes… in general, seeing a man working in the household was arousing.

The omega placed the plate he was just washing in the sink, took the towel and the bowl from Ushijima, and crashed his lips on the alpha´s lips, turning the kiss into a wild mess to the point Ushijima´s hands found their way around his thigh, swooped him off his feet and carried him back to the bedroom.

The following days of the two males had always the same time schedule. They woke up, did a bit in the household, and went back into the bedroom as far as one of them got a head or rute wave. It wasn´t too bad, But Akaashi was truly relieved when his head was over.

And now they had to wait.

It would take around 3 weeks until they could see a proper result, said Shirabu. The waiting was killing Akaashi.

He and Ushijima made the deal, that Akaashi would take a test in three weeks, while Ushijima would come over. Since Akaashi didn´t even want to know it sooner, he agreed. But in some moments, he would just love to run to the store and buy one.

“Why don´t you just do it,” Shirabu asked when Akaashi told him about these bothers by their lunch on Wednesday “Like, if you don´t tell him he will never find out. Also, he is a stranger, so why let him make rules for you?”

Akaashi got Shirabu´s point, but as Ushijima asked him to take the test with him he seemed very serious, like it was deeply important to him and Akaashi really didn´t want to disappoint or even hurt him.

So he just nodded to what Shirabu said, without bothering to explain his view. Shirabu just wasn't a relationship person and would never understand.

Even though it felt like a half infinity, the three weeks were over after a while and the day when they would take the test came closer and Akaashi began to feel very excited, but n the other hand he was nervous too. What if it didn´t work? Would Ushijima be mad at him? The omega really wasn´t sure.

But Ushijima seemed to be just as nervous, as far as Akaashi could read out of his texts. Yesterday, they called and after there was silence for a long time Ushijima just suddenly said his name.

“Akaashi-san?”

His deep bass chased shivers over Akaashi´s back.

“Yes?”

After a short moment of hesitation, he asked “Did you take a test yet?”

Akaashi felt like he did something wrong. “I didn´t,” He said and should feel safe. But he had the feeling that Ushijima would get mad at him. He didn´t, but that feeling was weird.

Three days after that call, were now finally three weeks over, and Akaashi and Ushijima planned to meet up after work.

Even though Akaashi agreed to that plan, the whole day felt like hell. At work, he caught himself staring into the air the whole time or better said staring at the clock, trying like that to manipulate the time, which didn´t want to work.

It was torture.

Around lunchtime, Akaashi gave up doing anything properly at work. He couldn´t focus all day, why should it get better now? With his unfocused acting, he just distracted and bothered the other workers in the firm, so it was better to go.

The young omega stepped out into the bright lunch sun and decided that he would grab lunch with Shirabu. That usually helped him to get distracted and today he would really need it, so he got into his car and drove to the family clinic.

When he arrived, Secretary Sato told him, that Shirabu was currently in a consultation with a young couple and that he had to wait a few minutes. She even offered him a coffee, which he gladly accepted.

Secrendery Sato became way nicer since their first meeting. Akaashi started to like her, she was a kind person who did her job properly. And at the same time, she was strong enough to stand Shirabu´s harsh kind. It seemed like she was only born to do this job.

Shirabu finished the consultation just 20 minutes later and walked the couple out of the family clinic, his expression softening incredibly when he eyed Akaashi in the waiting room. “Hey Keiji what a nice surprise”

Akaashi smiled, and walked over to his friend “Let's grab lunch?”

Shirabu nodded, and after the doctor grabbed his jacket and his wallet they left to a nearby cafe, that made amazing sandwiches, fresh, delicious onigiris, and gorgeous coffee, which made it the perfect place for the young omega´s to be.

They sat there for Shirabu´s whole lunch break long, probably the longest time they spent together this week, drinking coffee, eating onigiris and sandwiches, talking and laughing together.

It really helped Akaashi to clear his mind, and he couldn´t say how relieved he was to finally have some time with his friend alone again and not always with Eita by them. Ofc the blonde was a kind guy, but sometimes it was nice just to chat with Shirabu, fight with him, and just be friends how they were before Akaashi isolated himself.

After they paid for their food and left the cafe, the weather had become even warmer and the sun still shone brightly as they walked back to the clinic, both males staying quiet until Shirabu asked.

“Are you nervous?”

Akaashi didn´t know to reply, so he just nodded. Yes, he was nervous, but he didn´t know if in a good or in a bad way.

Shirabu surprised Akaashi when he suddenly felt the arms of the hazel-haired male slung around his body, pulling him into a hug. “Don´t worry Akaashi, everything is gonna be alright”

Akaashi couldn´t help but sob quietly as he buried his face in his friend´s shoulder as he hugged back.

And Shirabu, just being Shirabu said “Don´t you dare to cry now in my new T-shirt. I´m horrible at comforting”

Akaashi laughed because something Shirabu didn´t know was, that exactly this sentence helped him to feel better. “Exactly you salty demon”

After the meeting with Shirabu, Akaashi felt way better and his nervousness sank to a bearable level. Now, he could focus at home on cleaning and was even a little surprised that it was already this late when the door rang at 5 p.m. and Ushijima stood in front of his door.

Ushijima´s nervous face touched Akaashi´s heart and he gave the alpha a heart-warming smile “Good to see you Ushijima-san”

The alpha smiled back, just a bit but it was enough for Akaashi. He stepped aside, to let Ushijima in his flat and realized the small package in his hand. It was a pregnancy test.

Ushijima realized Akaashi´s gaze and seemed almost a bit shy “I thought I rather buy one as well. Just for safety, you know?”

Akaashi understood, and he found it simply adorable of the other male and took the small package from him “Thanks Ushijima-san”

The dark-haired omega left for the bathroom, closing the door behind him to make the test. At first, he wanted Ushijima to wait outside so he could pee on the test strip, but after everything was done he unlocked the door and let the alpha inside, placing the test on the edge of the bathtub, and set an alarm for three minutes, the test needed to tell the result.

These 3 minutes turned out to be the most long and torturing in Akaashi´s whole life. A short look at the alpha, who played nervously on his marriage ring showed that Ushijima felt the same.

But finally, those three minutes were over.

Akaashi took the test carefully from the edge of the bathtub and looked at the result. His heart was beating like crazy and he could clearly feel the alpha´s tense gaze on his body.

He looked up at Ushijima, tears standing in his eyes.

“It's positive”

Chapter Text

Four weeks later, Akaashi was again on his way to Shirabu in the family clinic, for a first check-up on his baby. Since he held the positive test in his hand, Akaashi caught himself daily how he sometimes just hesitated with whatever he was doing and got lost in thoughts about his future with a wonderful little angel that he could shower with incredibly much love and just stared at the air with a dorky smile. He still couldn't believe that he was finally pregnant. It felt like a dream, a wonderful dream that was way too perfect that it could be true, and he knew it must be over soon and it would hurt so brutally if he´d wake up and see nothing of that was real.

But the day he woke up from that wonderful dream never came and he started to realize that he actually got to have the life he wanted, and did not have to fear to lose this bitter-sweet reality.

Ushijima´s reaction to the positive pregnancy test was incredible. The first moments, he was just staring, long, painful seconds that felt like infinity to Akaashi and then he started to smile widely, from one ear to the other, challenging the sun with his bright smile which looked so different from his normally stiff grin.

Andt then he hugged Akaashi. It wasn´t like their usual friendly hugs, it was more like his hugs told all the words his mouth wasn´t able to tell the omega. But Akaashi understood and replied to that hug just as happy as the alpha did, a few tears rolling down his face and eventually getting lost in the fabric of Ushijima´s shirt.

The memory of that special day still made Akaashi smile. The alpha was simply adorable. When Akaashi told him he would have an appointment today, he offered to take a whole day free from work, just to drive him there so Akaashi wouldn´t have so much stress.

Even though the offer was kind, Akaashi disinclined it. So much affection embarrassed him. Luckily Ushijima understood and Akaashi could drive with his own car.

As he stepped through the front door of the clinic, he was greeted by the sight of Secretary Sato having a beautiful, young lady sitting on her lap, kissing, no, better saying eating her face. Akaashi knew it was inappropriate but couldn´t do anything but stare at the two women unsure if he should just walk through to Shirabu´s office or leave again.

With some effort, Akaashi made it to lose his gaze on the lesbian couple and decided to continue his walk to Shirabu´s office since secretary Sato was disabled and couldn´t announce him to his appointment, but before he could walk through the small corridor to Shirabu, the door to the hazel´s office was yanked open and Shirabu rushed out of his office with a flying hospital coat and walked past Akaashi to the front desk.

“Sato! Why are you not answering your goddamn phone! I want you to cancel my appointment because- oh”

Shirabu stopped in mid-sentence abruptly, his eyes pinned on his secretary, who loosened from her charming visitor and stared with huge eyes at her boss, blood rushing in his cheeks. “Dr. Shirabu I-I can explain-”

“Well this is surprising” Shirabu cut her off and crossed his arms in front of his chest, shifting his weight from one leg to another. “Let's be honest it's not. It was obvious that you are homosexual. Right, Akaashi?”

Shirabu turned his head over to his friend, his eyebrow lifting in expectation. Everyone else in the room was quiet, waiting for one of the thunderstorms Shirabu could turn into when he was upset.

But that did not come, Shirabu just chuckled and loosened his arms again from his chest. “Hey hey chill out everything is fine. Just cancel my appointment and next time do whatever this is at home or at least in the storeroom”

The omega turned on his heels and walked into one of the observation rooms, Akaashi deciding it would be best to follow him quickly.

After they entered the room, Shirabu closed the door while Akaashi slowly sat down on the lounge, looking at his best friend while he logged into his PC so they could start the check-up.

“I ́m sorry you had to see that,” Shirabu started the conversation in a surprisingly good-mooded tone “It was quite unexpecting. But not that she is dating girls. More than she is so unprofessional to do it in her workspace. Lay down please”

"It's fine" Akaashi mumbled and laid down on the lounge, Shirabu sliding closer to him on his chair. "Alright, please lift your shirt so I can put the ultrasonic lube on your skin and have a first check on your baby. Didn't Ushijima want to come as well?"

“He had a meeting this morning but next time he will join” The dark-haired omega lifted his shirt as he was told and let Shirabu put the lube on his belly, shivering softly from the cold feeling.

“Oh well that's unfortunate, but probably the best right now anyway. How are you feeling lately Keiji? Any disease or unwell being in the past weeks?” Shirabu started to move a small device above Akaashi´s belly, an ultrasonic device to look into his belly while he spoke his eyes focused on a small monitor next to the bed.

“No, I didn´t have anything like that. I took care of myself a lot after I signed in to the project” Akaashi closed his eyes awkwardly and tried not to squirm away from the device and make it harder for Shirabu to do his job. He knew how short Shirabu´s patience span was.

“Mhm very good. Alright, today we will do a few checkups on you, take a blood test and a urine test so we can find possible sickness or similar on time, and work against them before they get worse."

Shirabu kept moving the device over Akaashi's skin and smiled softly "Look, you're 5 weeks pregnant now, and your baby is now the height of an orange core. I can not give you a proper picture right now sadly, but I can when you reach the 9th week"

Akaashi's heart skipped a beat because of Shirabu's words 5 weeks pregnant. His baby was already as tall as an orange core. He knew that was small, but he couldn't help the pride that flooded his chest because he was more pregnant than he ever was.

"The heart of your baby started to beat this week. If you want I can give you an appointment for next week, it will be possible to record it on the ultrasonic device then" Shirabu pulled the scanner away and handed Akaashi a tissue so he could wipe the lube off his skin.

“Oh yes, please! Please do that, that would be so kind of you Kenjirou!” Akaashi blushed over the own eagerness in his voice but luckily Shirabu didn´t lose a word about it. “Wonderful, on Thursday?” Akaashi nodded and Shirabu made the appointment. Sure he would have to ask Wakatoshi if he had time, but he was sure the alpha wouldn´t miss it.

After Akaashi removed the lube and got dressed again they spoke about the following months of the pregnancy and what will happen in the following appointments. Akaashi got his Maternity record and Shirabu made him an appointment for lunch tomorrow. “So I can check if you eat enough” He used as an excuse.

Right after Akaashi stepped out of the clinic, he heard his phone ring. Surprised he slides the device out of his pocket just to be met with the sight of Ushijima´s name on the screen.

“Hello Ushijima what´s up?”

“Good day Akaashi-san, I´m sorry for just calling you like that but I figured out your appointment must have ended by now and wanted to ask how everything went.” Akaashi was sure he only imagined that but he believed to hear a small note of excitement in the alpha´s voice. Just a small one.

The omega couldn´t help but feel touched by the way the alpha cared about him and their unborn child, so who would he be if he didn´t tell him?

“Everything went quite well, Kenjirou did an ultrasonic on me and took urine and blood samples so they can do a clear test on me and then we spoke about the following months and what we will do through the next appointments. I have an appointment for next week for the heartbeat, do you maybe want to join? Hearing the heartbeat for the first time is surely a precious moment” Akaashi told the alpha as he started to walk to his car.

The alpha exhaled deeply and Akaashi was sure he was very relieved they were both alright. “I´m glad to hear only good news. Well, I feel honored to ask and I will be very glad to join you next week, just one question, who is Kenjirou?”

Akaashi left out a short chuckle. Ofc he couldn´t know about his private relation to the doctor.

“Kenjirou is Dr. Shirabu, the hazel-haired omega doctor who´s responsible for our match and the following process, you remember?”

“Oh yes ofc, my apologies. And you both have private contact?”

Akaashi unlocked the door of his car and slid into the driver's seat. “Yes, he is my best friend. We didn´t have much contact in the past months but only thanks to him I found out about the project. Without him, we wouldn´t be here with our child. They are as tall as an orange core, Ushijima-san”

Ushijima´s voice sounded incredibly soft as he replied and his voice chased shivers over his body

“Oh wow”

They continued to call for an hour speaking about what would happen in the coming appointments and Ushijima decided that he wanted to join now for every appointment. Not only so Akaasji wouldn't have to go through this all alone, but he was informed about everything in detail as well because not everyone could pass on the technical jargon of doctors.

That they hung up was anyway just because Ushijima's husband called, otherwise, they'd surely go on for more hours.

As Akaashi went to sleep this evening, he felt incredibly light and happy. Just 2 months ago, going to sleep was horrible for him because he was alone. But now he had Shirabu back in his life, Ushijima, their baby. Akaasji fell asleep with a wide smile on his face, which was the case on more days than without.

One week later was the time for another doctor's appointment. Akaashi was excited to see Shirabu again since they barely spoke after their awesome lunch the past week, but also because Ushijima would join him this time for the appointment. His first baby appointment.

The alpha had insisted on driving Akaashi to his appointment. Even though the pregnancy was barely exhausting yet, Ushijima made clear that Akaashi could come with every bother to him and that he was definitely not alone, for which Akaashi was really thankful.

The doorbell rang a little later and as Akaashi opened the door he was greeted by the sight of Ushijima wearing a nice suit with a tight fit that perfectly showed off his muscular arms and legs. It made Akaashi speechless for a moment, and he couldn't help it but only stare. It wasn´t the first time he saw Ushijima in a suit, but he had to ask himself if he dressed up just for him.

Them, he corrected in his head.

Ushijima seemed to notice the omega´s hesitation and cleared his throat, one of his, as Akaashi noticed, nervous habits. “I´m sorry Akaashi-san, I headed here right after work. I don´t want you to think I would only do a stop-by, I was just afraid we are coming late.” He explained himself formel as always and gave him a very sorry gaze out of his forest-green eyes.

Akaashi came back from his stiffness his heart melting by the sweet puppy eyes the other was giving him and shook his head softly. “It´s fine Ushijima-san I didn´t think something like that. Wanna come in for a moment? We still got some time”

The alpha nodded and stepped inside Akaashi´s apartment after the omega stepped aside and bent down to take his shoes off before following the omega deeper into his home.

“Do you want some coffee?” Akaashi offered his friend a seat on the couch, which he disinclined with a soft head shake. “I will gladly accept that offer” He gave Akaashi one of his rare but still very bright smiles and even though it was just a very small one it was one of the most infecting Akaashi ever saw. He smiled back, different than Ushijima with his whole face, and walked into his kitchen, Ushijima following close behind.

After Akaashi had the coffee done for Ushijima he filled himself with some juice in a glass and they drank in silence. Since he was pregnant he renounced stuff like coffee and tea, not wanting to bring the health of his baby in danger just the slightest even though he knew one or two cups per week wouldn´t hurt.

“Are these the things we need for the appointment?” Ushijima asked after some minutes, pointing at the properly stacked papers and booklets on the table. Akaashi looked at where he pointed and nodded softly “Yes exactly. It´s my maternity report and some other medical records that were important.”

Ushijima nodded softly and placed his empty cup in the sink. “You´re well prepared, that´s good”

Akaashi smiled at the compliment and packed the things into a bag, and then threw a short gaze at the time. “Shall we go?” The alpha nodded and they left the flat for their appointment.

When they arrived at the clinic, Akaashi was relieved to see that Secrendary Sato was alone this time and not again making out with her girlfriend. She looked up right in the moment Akaashi stepped on the desk, and on her usually so serious face grew a soft smile. “Hello Akaashi, how are you doing today?”

“I´m quite good thank you. How about you?” Sato ran a hand through her hair and sat back on her chair. “I´m quite alright. A bit tired, you can surely guess why. Who did you bring with you today?”

Akaashi turned around to see Ushijima standing behind him and smiled softly “That is Ushijima-san, he´s the baby's father. We have an appointment today for their heartbeat”

Sato nodded softly and smiled at Ushijima “Nice to meet you, sir. Yes about your appointment, Shirabu-san asked me to tell you something” She took a small piece of paper and laid it in front of Akaashi on the desk. “Shirabu-san got a surprising visit from Semi-san, it was something urgent. He asked me to say sorry to you and to tell you that Goshiki-kun will take care of you today. You may already go to room number three”

Akaashi felt surprised by the news but had to accept them anyway so he nodded and walked with Ushijima into room number 3, where he had already taken a seat on the lounger.

Goshiki entered the room a few minutes later and smiled shyly at Akaashi and the new alpha in the room before he bowed deeply. “Hello Akaashi-san, I assume Sato-san told you already that I´m your doctor today? Who did you bring with you?”

“I´m Ushijima Wakatoshi, the baby´s father” Ushijima nodded softly in Goshiki´s direction which seemed to intimidate the young assistant doctor. In all the times Akaashi had seen the dark-haired omega never this nervous as around the other alpha.

Goshiki started to collect the things he needed for today´s appointment, but he acted a little clumsy. He dropped the lube right after he took it out of the drawer to the floor, stepped on it, and smeared it over the marble floor. After he wiped it away with a nervous chuckle he sat down on next to the lounger Akaashi was supposed to lay on and even dropped the ultra-sonic device.

Akaashi laid down and pulled his T-shirt up to expose his belly, throwing a gaze at Ushijima who seemed a little displeased about Goshiki's goofiness.

But maybe he only imagined that.

After Goshiki applied the lube to Akaashi´s lower belly he started to turn the device on that would be reading and showing the soon-to-be-parents the heartbeat of their child. Well, at least he tried. He got his password wrong multiple times to the computer just to realize later on that the device wasn´t even connected to the scanner he would hold to Akaashi´s body.

Ushijima´s voice sounded deep, deeper than usual, and a bit threatening to Akaashi´s ears as he asked “Dr. Goshiki how much experience do you have? It seems like you are a bit overwhelmed. Maybe we should wait for Dr. Shirabu to return"

Goshiki flinched together when the alpha´s words beat into him and looked up at the alpha with big eyes, his cheeks turning red with embarrassment. "I-I'm an assistant doctor Sir. Actually, I finished school just a few months ago." His voice sounded weak, like he was close to burst out in tears.

The dark-haired male reminded Akaashi of a little child that was punished for dropping his water cup and felt his soon-to-be-mom-heart ache gently. Goshiki surely tried his best and was just nervous. He couldn´t even imagine, how mucht the words of Wakatoshi must have hit his sensitive and insecure soul, his doubt in his abilities probably ruining all the faith he had in himself and built up over the years in med school in just a few seconds.

Goshiki seemed to be really fighting with his words, or maybe even tears that dared to spill out of his big eyes before he looked up at the alpha and said, self-assured and strong “But Doctor Shirabu taught me everything I need to know so I am very capable of my work! There´s no need to wait for Dr. Shirabu"

Ushijima seemed surprised that the young omega spoke up to him, but let him continue with his work without any more disturbance, and if Akaashi did not imagine things again he seemed now much more pleased as he did before and they could go on with their appointment as it was planned.

Akaashi couldn´t help but feel a sort of motherly pride when he saw Goshiki stand up for himself. Sure he was convinced of what he could. If he survived Shirabu´s critical self, nobody could ever stop him.

The feeling, that spread through Akaashi´s veins when the ultra-sonic device read his baby's heartbeat and the computer echoed it, making it possible for the young parent to listen to the heartbeat of their fetus was simply indescribable. It was like his whole world would come to an end for a moment, and at the same time rise with incredibly speed. Like he was high and also falling down a deep cliff, all at once. It was overwhelming, in a positive way making the omega feel so much joy that he was afraid for a moment it would be too much for his body, and he would just explode.

The black-haired reached for the alpha´s hand, gripping it tight, and after a short moment of resistance felt the same pressure from Wakatoshi, who was, judging by the vulnerable expression on his usual monotone face, also overwhelmed with the feeling of this.

The warm touch of the alpha was comforting because it felt like Akaashi was transitioning his energy, his feelings, and everything to him, and even though he had the feeling like Wakatoshi was also printing his feelings on him it felt balanced. Like it was meant to be.

In front of Akaashi´s inner eye, pictures started to circle around. Wakatoshi and him holding their baby for the first time. Wakatoshi and he are buying baby things. Wakatoshi and he teach their child their first word.

Their child. Akaashi´s child. Ushijima´s child. Theirs.

It was still strange to form that thought, of a child which Akaashi wished for so incredibly long.

But right at this moment, Ushijima ́s finger intertwined with his and the heartbeat of his baby echoing from the walls of the observation room, it was so easy for Akaashi to believe it was real. And for the first time, since he held the positive pregnancy test in his hand, he accepted the thought: he was pregnant, he would have a child and his biggest dream would come true.

Shirabu apologized for not showing up that day and without forewarning to Akaashi by a later phone call, but the omega just shrugged that off. It was totally okay, Goshiki did a fantastic job which also made him and Wakatoshi agree that they wouldn't tell Shirabu about the beginning mistakes and nervousness of the omega. Akaashi for his part was sure that Goshiki would tell him anyway, but as he said it was okay and so he saw no need in reporting bad things about the young doctor. They never found out if Shirabu knew it, and never spoke about it again.

It was the first and the last time during Akaashi´s whole pregnancy that Shirabu wasn't there. The doctor always cleared his schedule and did not allow anyone, not even Semi allowed to snitch on it when he had Appointments with Akaashi, and that was where he was almost his boss. Just almost, which Akaashi believed was the reason in the first place his friend opened his own clinic because Shirabu had a hard time letting other people give him comments and boss him around.

It was a comfortable routine that developed over time, where every meeting had the same constellation: Akaashi, Shirabu, and Ushijima. The soon-to-be-dad didn't miss just one appointment with their child during the passing months. He always cleared his schedule for the baby appointments, and not only for the appointment itself. He also took an hour before, and a few hours after it off, picking Akashi up and driving him to every meeting that they had together and also preparing him a proper meal afterward, especially during those appointments where Akaashi wasn't allowed to eat beforehand to be sure that the omega ate enough for himself and the baby and had all the needed vitamins and proteins. His cooking was delicious, nothing boring always inspiring dishes with delicious spices that the alpha had from all countries in this world due to his and his husband's interest in spices.

In general, did Wakatoshi perform such a wish of a baby father. Besides that, he was always there during the appointments, which should be the bare minimum but wasn´t as Akaashi discovered through his doctor friend, and fed the omega with all kinds of yummy dishes he was just wonderful. It was obvious that he wanted this child just as much as Akaashi did, and he did everything already. He bought many pregnancy books, one for every month of the pregnancy, about baby development, the right food, risks, and necessary investigations. They began to have weekly calls, to catch up on their progress during those books, what they think is important, and how they liked that book. They often discussed the way they wanted to raise their child, rules, no-gos, and okays.

Besides those books, Wakatoshi almost daily sent Akaashi different tips he saw outside of those books, things he saw in documentaries, read in newspapers, or got told by some experts he talked to. Every other person would be annoyed, by the alpha being almost pushy but Akaashi didn´t mind. He was lucky not to be alone with this pregnancy, it was how he always wanted it. To be lucky and have a nice partner to take care of their baby as well.

The best example that he had of Wakatoshi´s incredibly big heart was that one day when he literally drove through the whole city to collect his pregnancy vitamins because Shirabu diagnosed him in his 5th pregnancy month iron deficiency and folic acid deficiency and because he had an appointment with his publisher later that day and didn´t find the time to go. That man stood, after a long hard day of work at 9 p.m. in front of Akaashi´s door, after he drove through the whole city because different pharmercies didn´t have all of the vitamins Akaashi needed, so he drove to everyone in town just to drop by the little bag of pills. It was adorable, and Akaashi truly felt his heart melt that day.

If he didn't like the alpha before, he definitely did now, and he thanked the gods every day for such a good father for his child.

The month passed by with appointments, meetings, weekly call sessions to catch up on the pregnancy books, and many, many funny dinners, lunches, and brunches. Akaashi´s belly grew and grew, and by now Ushijima arrived even earlier when he picked Akaashi up for his appointments and took it as his personal task to help him put on socks and shoes which had been getting more and more difficult for the dark-haired male. At first, it had been embarrassing for Akaashi to admit that he needed help with such a simple task, but if he was being honest it was a relief whenever Ushijima did that for him and he didn´t need to always choke himself by pressing every little bit of air out of his lungs with his belly. He loved his child, but slowly it began to be in his way.

And yes, it. Wakatoshi and Keiji had decided not to find out the gender before the birth. It wouldn´t matter anyway, they would adore the child anyway. At least Akaashi would, and he was convinced so did Ushijima.

Eventually, Akaashi had to meet the alpha´s husband Tendou. Ushijima said it would be more than necessary, judging that Tendou would also play a huge role in the child´s life as his husband, and whenever the child would spend a weekend at their place it would have to get along with Tendou and Akaashin had to be secure that their baby was in good hands.

The first idea was, that Ushijima would bring Tendou to one of their ultra-sonic appointments. It was Akaashi´s idea, since they were connected over the baby it would be a nice way to also meet new people over it right? And like that, Tendou would be more included in their little sunshine.

But in the end, it was actually Wakatoshi who was against it, saying that this was an intimate appointment where Tendou might not belong. He didn´t mean it in a mean way, but when Akaashi thought about it he didn´t have to meet the husband of the man he was pregnant with while he was lying half naked on the observation table in Shirabu´s clinic.

That day the meeting was called off, but Wakatoshi texted Akaashi later that Tendou said that the baby totally looked like Wakatoshi as the green-haired alpha presented him with today's ultrasonic picture. Akaashi agreed with a smile, and even though it might be still too early to say that he secretly wished for the baby would look exactly like a little clone of Wakatohsi. They had compared childhood pictures once, as a joke to see if they could mix in their heads a picture of how their child would look. It was a funny evening through and through, and Akaashi fell for the picture of a 5-year-old Wakatoshi, wishing to have a little son with identical forest green eyes and soft green hair.

In due time, Akaashi still got to meet Wakatoshi´s husband, and he must say he was something else. He seemed to be the total opposite of the calm and decent Wakatoshi, he was loud and quirky, eager, and at some time really inappropriate. It was a mystery to the dark-haired omega how they fitted together, but it was not his business to question. He still liked the red-haired beta and was convinced he would do a great job raising their child as well.

The doorbell rang as Akaashi was in the middle of the probably most interesting book he had read in a long while. Since he was an author as well, he always had some kind of passion for books, and during his pregnancy, he had more than enough time to read. Especially now, when he could barely move anymore.

The omega slowly rolled off the couch and made his way to the front door, slow like a snail but the alpha was used to it and waited patiently for him to answer the door, and greeted him with a gentle smile “Good afternoon Akaashi. I hope you had a pleasant day so far?” Ushijima entered the flat after Akaashi stepped aside, closed the door behind himself, and gave the bump a careful stroke, on which the two males agreed since Ushijima would understand and accept if Akaashi was against it, but it was after all his baby and maybe his first and last experience having a child so he should be allowed to enjoy every facet of it.

“It was alright. I made good progress on my new book, it's incredible” The dark-haired omega swallowed back the gentle tickle that spread over his body when the other male touched him and his warmth sunk through the layers of clothes on his skin.

They fell into a comfortable small talk about everything that had happened since the last time they spoke with was like 2 days ago. Ushijima wanted to check on Akaashi almost daily, because now that he was coming closer and closer to the end of the pregnancy he was afraid to miss anything.

They talked about the weather, the foods they had, how they slept, and how they spent time, while Wakatoshi helped Keiji collect his things for their doctor's appointment and helped him to slip into comfortable trainers. It was a calm and friendly atmosphere, as usual when the two males spend their day together and they talked and talked during the whole ride and the whole appointment. Today Akaashi was in the 32nd pregnancy week, and his child was as tall as a pineapple. The little one began to grow hair, and as far as they could see on the ultra-sonic pictures his hair seemed to be black.

But what was much more exciting was that they only had 8 Full weeks to go until the official delivery date, and only 5 more until the child was so far developed that it could already be delivered. Akaashi´s biggest fear was that the child arrive too soon, and later have problems holding their weight or that it wouldn't be fully developed, but Shirabu rescued him that everything seemed to be perfectly fine and that Akaashi and the baby were more than healthy, which meant there wouldn't be the necessity for giving birth early.

And since they only had around 5-8 weeks left, they really had to set up the baby rooms.

Akaashi´s been done for a longer while already since he quickly fell in the typical nest building every mother fell for as soon as they found out they were pregnant, and during the months he still could move well he renovated his old guest room into a gorgeous nursery.

But Ushijima and Tendou weren't done with their room yet, and that was the exact reason they met up today with Akaashi at their place to get it done. The baby would spend most of its time with Akaashi in the first months anyway, since it would be too small for weekends at Dad's house but they still wanted to be prepared.

It was Akaashi's second time at the home of Tendou and Wakatoshi. He was again surprised by the large and clean space, with here and there some accessories that could only be placed from Tendou there.

Said Beta greet the two males with a warm hug, cuddles and showered Akaashi's belly with kisses and then led them to the kitchen where he prepared a nice meal Today, to stick on Wakatoshi's tradition and also prepared some Nutella-marzipan croissants to a delicious beef curry with rice and broccoli. The males sat down by the table, talked a little, and ate, where Tendou especially took care of that Akaashi would eat enough before they would finally start for what Akaashi was here: the nursery.

Ushijima and Tendou settled for a sweet and decent forest theme. The walls were already collared in a warm dark green, that reminded Akaashi of Wakatoshi´s eyes, with some tree schemes in a warm brown. The dark-haired omega wasn´t supposed to lift anything heavy, so they shared the work of building the furniture (Ushijima) unpacking and bringing trash away (Tendou), and decorating (Akaashi) They fell into a comfortable silence, at first with some podcast from Wakatoshi on the side and later some wild rock music from Temdou. Keiji liked the atmosphere in the room. It was so calm and in a strange way comforting like they´d actually be a big family.

Wakatoshi mastered building the baby bed in quite a short amount of time, where it was more of a clicheé that this would take forever and gave Akaashi with that the possibility to already start doing at least something. He decorated the little bed first with bed sheets and then stuffed the many, many, and for real many plushies that Wakatoshi Tendoiu and he himself bought already inside it, hung a wonderful leaf green blanket over the edge of it and took Tendou´s help to put a little sky over it, which they also decorated with some fake plants and other forest accessories while Wakatoshi builds up the cabinet for clothes.

After he finished, and Tendou and Akaashi returned from a small coffee break the two males began to sort baby clothes inside the drawers and shelves inside the cabinet, all cleanly folded and sorted as Akaashi demanded. It was electrifying to hold all the small baby clothes in his hands, and imagining to put them on his baby soon, even though their child grew rather fast and Akaashi was convinced he would not be fitting in the small baby clothes for a long while.

By the end of the day, which was like around 11 p.m. the baby room was finally done. Wakatoshi built a few shelves on the walls, which Tendou and Keiji decorated with plushies, picture frames of family members, and some books, children's books but also books about pregnancy and the first months with a child. On the floor laid one of those gorgeous long fake fur carpets that perfectly fitted in the whole forest and wildlife theme of the room. But which was Akaashi´s favorite accessory of the room was indeed a very comfortable armchair, whereas Ushijima explained the baby should be fed and where they could always sit with it, cuddling, reading to it, and singing it to sleep. It was a beautiful thought, and Akaashi will always keep those gorgeous images in his head.

By the next appointment a month later, they had the same routine as always. Wakatoshi arrived at Akaashi's place, they talked and Wakatoshi even helped him to clean up his flat a little, picking up socks he couldn't reach anymore and carrying his freshly washed clothes for him in the living room because he wasn’t allowed anymore to carry them. They hung up the clothes together and then still had time to cook together.

Well, more Wakatoshi than Keiji, but that was fine.

“Keiji,” The alpha's tone sounded heavy as he called for the omega, that just went for a quick change of clothes to his bedroom. They started using each other's given names a while ago because they decided where their child would arrive soon they definitely reached the state where they could call themselves that, so they wouldn't confuse their baby later.

“Coming!”

The dark-haired author made his way back to the living room, and was met with the alpha's worried gaze. “What's bothering you Wakatoshi?” Over the months he mastered quite well to read the others often just slightly noticeable expressions on his face, and right now ze could tell that the alpha was rather worried, for whatsoever reason.

“I need to speak with you about something,” He started, folding his hands in his lap and patting the sofa next to him, which Akaashi gladly took. Standing got harder every day.

“I noticed that it's been quite troublesome for you to do some house chores. Which ofc isn't something bad, don't feel guilty. But normally a pregnant omega has a partner at home to support them during pregnancy, which you are lacking. What I'm meaning to say, is Satori and I'd be happy to invite you to live with us. Just until you don't need our help anymore”

Akaashi couldn't hold back the emberasst feeling creeping up his spine, that Wakatoshi noticed his trouble with such simple chores, and his first instinct was to decline the offers. But the alpha that was offered was also more than generous and if Akaashi was honest it would be much better for him if he had some support and the possibility of help around the clock.

And that was exactly the reason why he agreed to that offer, and moved his necessary belongings into the guest bedroom of Wakatoshi´s apartment.

Today was Friday, a day where, as Akaashi learned the Ushijima family had a movie night, and not just simply watching a movie but the whole program: comfortable pj’s, nice snacks, and fast food spread over the couch table that reminded of a buffet and ofc thousands of sweet drinks.

Akaashi loved it.

While Ushijima and Tendou were at work, Akaashi found his own routine during the past 3 weeks that he lived here already which included, cooking, as well as he could, cleaning whenever he found something dirty which was rather rare, and doing the laundry as much as he could by picking up and carrying clothes. He tried to bring himself as much in as he could, where he could already live here rent-free. When he wasn´t working, he was resting in his favorite spot in this flat: the nursery. He spend hours sitting in that armchair, reading books or just starring in the air, one hand resting on his belly and imagining the days with his little precious child. It was a dreamy time that he appends there, and with every day that he came closer to labour he was closer to that dreamy time to finally coming true. Odc he was aware it would at first most likely be exhausting, with sleepless nights, hours of baby crying, much pain and more and more until he got used to being a parent, but he didn´t care as much as he could if it wouldn´t be his long year dream.

Today he went on a long shopping trip to buy all the necessities for tonight, buying iced tea, lemonade, coke, chips, chocolate, fruits, and chocolate, nuts, and dips for the chips and also some pizza and fries and spent most of the day working in the kitchen to fill all the many delicious snacks in bowls and place them on the couch table.

Wakatoshi and Satori were surprised when they arrived back home and found everything for movie night prepared, but were also worried that Akaashi overworked himself, They passed the 38th week a few days ago, and the baby could arrive now anytime.

The three males threw themselves into their pj’s and flopped down on the couch, Wakatoshi and his husband snuggled together while Akaashi was wrapped in a blanket and started the movie. Today’s choice was Aladdin. All of them had watched them multiple times already, but Tendou insisted and the others simply gave in.

But just short after Aladdin and the Djinn arrived with a big parade at the palace, Akaashi began to feel enormous pain in his back, which began to get worse and worse with every passing minute. He couldn´t explain the pain and tried to shift his seat multiple times, hoping that the pain would fade but it never did.

Finally, after some time Wakatoshi seemed to notice Akaashi´s discomfort and gave him a worried gaze “Keiji are you alright?”

The omega tried to listen to himself and find out what he should reply to the alpha, and to the redhead who also turned his attention away from his favorite Disney movie to look at the pregnant omega. Finally, he settled on a reply “My back hurts. Maybe I was up on my feet for too long”

“I´m sorry to hear that” Wakatoshi said and offered the other male a massage, which he kindly declined and they went on with the movie. What also went on was the pain of the omega and the strength with which it seemed to kick in harder whenever he thought it stopped. It came in waves, and by the end of the movie Akaashi figued out it must be constructions. He told the others, and by the question, if they should drive to the hospital he shook his head. “Not yet. My constructions are not regular and not strong yet. It can take up to many hours, and even days it´d be a waste of time. We should go and get some sleep. I will tell you when the constructions get stronger”

They all agreed on that plan and went to sleep after Wakatoshi made Keiji promise him that he would definitely tell him if the construction got more intense. He was really afraid to miss something, or that there´ll be dangerous complications.

Akaashi went after a quick shower and after brushing his teeth back to his bedroom and laid down on the mattress, trying to follow the plan they just made because he knew it was the only logical thing to do. It was indeed difficult to fall asleep with such pain or to ignore his excitement, but he knew that it could get really ugly and exhausting when he first got into labour, so he wanted to do the best for himself and his body and grab a few hours of sleep.

His few hours of sleep ended just 5 hours later when the constantly stronger getting construction woke him up at 4 a.m. and he couldn´t handle it anymore to just lay around, the pain piercing and making him want to whine.

He got out of his bed, and started to walk through his room, knowing that moving would help with the pain better than anything else on this planet, until he really couldn´t take it anymore and sneaked over into the other´s bedroom and informed, the very-soon-to-be-father and his husband about the situation.

The next hours they spent preparing, getting ready to leave the house, eating a little and drinking something before the birth would start and looking again over the hospital bag Akaashi and Ushijima packed a week ago since the baby could from that time arrive any time they wanted to be prepared and be able to drive off to the hospital anytime.

Wakatoshi goit visibly more nervous, while Akaashi got more and more calm. He knew, partly, what would come to him and he was convinced he would be strong enough to birth this child since he had been dying to have a child for decades. The alpha kept asking Akaasho, who didn't sit just a single minute that morning over and over again how bad the pain was, and Akaashi always answered honestly that the pain got more and more intense.

Around 8 a.m. when the construction got steady and regular, they got in the car and made their way to the hospital. They called Shirabu, who was the doctor who would guide them during the whole process and met up at the hospital, filling out diverse documents together and changing Akaashi into a hospital coat already.

When the last observation of pregnancy started around 11 a.m. the pain was much worse than the evening before, and Akaashi really really wanted the birth to begin now. His water broke a half hour ago, which meant that from now on the birth could only go up to 72 hours.. Only said in quotation marks ofc, because taking constructions over such a long time where simply murderous.

Shirabu looked deeply tense when he looked over the monitor of the ultra-sonic device, his lips pressed into a thin line and his gentle brows in a scowl. “Is something wrong with the baby, Dr. Shirabu?” Wakatoshi asked from his side of the bed, already dressed in his surgery clothes as well and his hand nervously holding Akaashi´s.

“Not with the baby.” The hazel replied, and moved the reading device again over Akaashi´s belly “Not directly at least. As I already told you during the past appointments, the child seems to have Ushijima´s genes to a dominant part and is quite big, which was already difficult for Keiji during the past months because it came to enormous pressure on his rips, pain in the back and ofc huge stretching of his skin in the belly area. But I think the worst case arrived, despiTe all my hopes and prayers it wouldn´t”

He took the device off Akaashi´s body, leaned back in his chair; and gave the worried males an excusing gaze.

“The baby is too tall Keiji. We´ll have to do an emergency C-section”

Chapter Text

After the shocking news had sunk in a little, the preparations started. Akaashi was afraid of getting a c-section. He had always known that Ushijima’s genes weren’t harmless, but somehow in his naive delusion he had hoped he could still get over it. It had been clear for a longer while that the baby was huge, and still Akaashi clenched to his hope till the end, especially because their child was already coming early.

But now there couldn't anything be done about it, because after all their child's well being was Akaashi’s highest priority. So he went with the doctor for the preps, changing into his surgery gown and spoke through the whole progress of the surgery. Ushijima didn’t leave his side for just a moment, his instincts tensed to their highest level which the dark haired male could make out on his posture and his hardened jaw.

But after all, everything still went well. The surgery went without any complications, and their child, their son, was healthy and strong. He screamed right away to clear his lungs and when Shirabu laid him on his chest, Keiji was in seconds forever fallen for the sweet little face of his son. His hair was green and messy, his skin as bright as Akaashi’s and his eyes in the usual baby blue that every newborn had.

They decided to name him Noriyuki. It meant happiness, Luck and good fortune, which was all his parents wished for him for. He took Ushijima’s last name, because Akaashi trusted the other male and because it would be easier for the three of them in case their child should get anytime soon get in the hospital and Ushijima would be recognized as his father by his last name, even though he was not lawfully together with Akaashi.

Shirabu returned to take Noriyuki for some more check ups, as weighting and measuring his heights. Ushijima went with him, because Akaashi was told not to move, not that he could. His under side was still stunned, and his nabe needed some time to heal before he was allowed to move again. Akaashi cringed at only the thought of having his whole belly cut open and now having forever a large ugly scar. It would of course always be related to his beloved son, for which he was more than greatful, which was also a reason he will honor it.

This was also an aspect that made Akaashi uncomfortable. Because of the nabe he would now have to stay longer in the hospital, and would need more help of doctors, nurses and Ushijima. He didn't want to feel so defendless, but now it was too late and Akaashi rather had it this way instead of having his child killed by his own stubbornness and ignorance.

He still convinced Ushijima that he didn't want any visitors yet and the alpha accepted that of course. The three males spend Noriyuki’s first day alone, as the small little family that they were and Akaashi had to admit he loved this already.

On the next day, the last missing piece to their family reunited with them as Tendou was finally allowed to visit. Even though Ushijima had told him to be cool and calm he came into the room like a storm, falling for their child on the spot and announcing his adoration loudly, which awakened Akaashi’s motherly instincts, telling him to get the disturbing new person out of their safe surrounding and protect his child.

But of course he knew that Tendou also had a right to see his step son, so he swallowed his annoyance and even let the red-haired male hold the child, which he surprisingly did with a lot of caution.

Maybe their life would after all be good and peaceful, as a patchwork family.

The omega left the hospital 4 days later, with his adorable child and a helicopter like Ushijima. The alpha had shown nothing but deep love and support for the omega and their child, and of course he had demanded that Akaashi stayed at his and Tendou’s place for a little longer, especially now where he was wounded from his c-section.

Akaashi didn't mind, he liked the alpha and his husband and after they agreed that Akaashi took care of the little one at night and Wakatoshi due to his strict time schedule early in the morning they started to develop a very good working routine.

The dark-haired omega got really used to his new living situation, and his awkwardness from the first weeks where he barely wanted to touch anything in their apartment and not leave his stuff anywhere slowly faded and he started to feel actually at home.

He could finally mesmerize where everything stood, in diverse rooms and dared to use different devices like the washing machine, which came kind of forced when Kazuki had a bad diarrhea a couple of weeks after they moved in and he had to wash thousands of times a day.

He also integrated himself into the daily house work, cleaned while the red-haired and the alpha were out to work and his son was sleeping, cooked and went grocery shopping. Ushijima kept telling him not to overwork himself and that it was really really badly necessary that he took a rest, but Akaashi felt constantly like he was electrified and felt like he was dying of boredom which was why the alpha sooner or later gave in.

The alpha for his part took his role as a father more than seriously. Everyday he stood on time at 5 a.m in the door frame of Akaashi’s room to pick Noriyuki up, feed him and change his diaper. No matter how quiet he tried to be, Akaashi’s instincts woke him up everyday to at least check who was taking his child out of his bed, before he went back into a light sleep, always ready to jump up and protect his baby. The omega got used to his lack of sleep, and figured how to live with his little energy.

He usually got up when Ushijima went to work to take the child back in his care, drinking a coffee and normally speaking with Ushijima about lunch before Tendou and he disappeared and the omega went to play a little with the baby before it went back to sleep. In the time he took a nap the raven cleaned the house and if the time was still there started to prepare lunch and dinner.

It was a good working routine that Akaashi quickly grew fond of.

Another thing, or better said person he really really grew fond of was Ushijima Wakatoshi. He didn't quite know when it started, that he noticed more and more little details as for example what products Ushijima used in the bathroom and memorized their scent, even though he had his own separate bathroom, or walked more and more often into him doing his work out, admiring his flexed muscles with a gentle drool until he noticed him, the trace of his veins from his hands over his arm to his neck forever sculptured into his brain. He would personally say that he knew everything about Wakatoshi.

He knew when he got up in the morning, knew his exact routine first taking care of Noriyuki, then getting into the bathroom, cleaning his face and taking a quick shower, then shaving every second day because he absolutely hated every appearance of a beard on his perfect skin, his regular appointments at the hairdresser to cut his hair at the exact perfect length and never an inch shorter or longer. His suits that he absolutely loved and wore whenever Akaashi saw him, the only exception in the morning when he got Noriyuki from Akaashi’s room. Even in evenings he stayed in his suit pants and his dress shirt, only removing his tie and opening 2-3 buttons from his shirt, which offered a fucking delicious gaze on his chest.

His work out that he did every evening for a good hour before he went on a short run, another shower and disappeared into his and Tendou’s shared bedroom after saying good night to his son and his mother, who was normally flashed from his wet hair that gave him an forbidden shady look.

He knew every food that Ushijima liked and knew exactly how to prepare them, his favorite starters, main courses and even favorite desserts. He knew how he drank his coffee and where he liked to get his groceries from.

Maybe it were the hormones after Noriyuki’s pregnancy, maybe it was the amount of time they spent together or maybe it was the fact that Wakatoshi was the first green flag he had ever met. But Akaashi felt how he was, slow but definitely falling for the alpha.

It sucked it you weren’t bold enough to make a move on someone you liked but it sucked even more when you simply couldn't do a move on the person you liked, because he was fucking married.

At first Akaashi planned not to go after his feelings, out of many reasons. The first one was that he had a fucking husband and Akaashi would rather die than ruining their beautiful marriage just because he had a mild crush. He couldn't do that after they had given him a home, took care of him and his son and participated in fulfilling his biggest of all dreams.

No he really really couldn't do that. But it was getting harder, harder and harder to stand Ushijima’s presence, knowing he couldn't touch him the way he wanted and couldn't talk to him the way he wanted to. Couldn't tell him the things he wanted to say.

His love mixed with desire, which turned into bloody personal tortue and before Akaashi realized he had created his own beautiful life to be his own personal hell.

This was precisely the reason Akaashi decided to move out as soon as Noriyuki had turned 7 months old. Every fucking day he needed to watch the two love birds being love birds ripped Akaashi’s heart apart and as masochistic as he was, craving the self chosed pain he couldn’t take it anymore. He knew the couple was holding back, he barely saw them kiss longer than their sweet hi and bye kissed, and never saw them cuddle like a couple, on top of each other or totally snuggled together on their couch, never saw them make out and never heard them make love.

For which he was MORE than just grateful. He wasn't sure how he would react to that even though of course had every right to sleep with each other as a married couple.

Ushijima seemed rather surprised when the omega announced to them that he wanted to move out, his usual calm and expressionless face drew a serious scowl and he proceeded to stare at the omega over the dinner table with a gaze he could not recognize. He had never seen such an expression on the alpha's face before, and it chased a cold shiver down his spine.

Despite that reaction, the omega didn't change his mind about leaving. He would move back into his own apartment, where Wakatoshi and Tendou would obviously always be welcome.

Tendou did take the news of his leave a little better, and announced that he would plan a big goodbye party for Akaashi, who kept on insisting that this totally wasn't necessary since they did more than enough for him so far but was fully ignored so he just went with it.

The evening before Akaashi's leave was scheduled was the time of the party. Tendou had banned him from the flat over the afternoon and when Akaashi returned he had decorated the living room with balloons and prepared a buffet with many different snacks.

“Keiji! Welcome to your goodbye-party!!” Tendou came toward him, took Noriyuki off his arm and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek smelling like rich wine.

Wakatoshi rested on the couch, again wearing that strange expression that Akaashi could name. The shivers returned and the tension that came with it stayed the whole evening thick between the alpha and the omega.

Tendou didn't seem to notice or he was just very good and ignoring it. Anyway he just enjoyed his evening, danced, ate and drank, and flopped down on his husband’s lap, gripped his collar and smashed their mouths together.

Akaashi pulled his face again rapidly, feeling his heart explode and make his chest ache.

Now when he was about to move out, Akaashi had thought about going back to dating as well. He missed having someone to come home to, he missed being kissed and cuddled and touched. A nice side effect would be that it could surely help him to get over Ushijima and hopefully forget all of his feelings for him.

The only problem was just that it was much harder to date when you had a child, not because men wanted you less than but because you needed to watch that you didn't get freaks or psychos or perverts close to your child which was rather difficult to judge at first.

Yeah, maybe Akaashi would just wait until Noriyuki was a little older and maybe went to school. He didn't need a man in his life, he didn't need one before and he didn't need one now. He would just focus on being Noriyuki’s mom, and be the best parent for the little boy that he could be.

The dark haired omega went to bed a little while later, saying that he needed to save up energy for tomorrow and thanked Tendou and Ushijima for the party, giving both of them a tight hug and quickly disappeared into his room.

On the next morning he was early awake, even before Wakatoshi knocked as usual against his door. He turned around, surprised to see the green haired male standing there even though he had been standing there at that time for the past 7 months. But something about the day made it different and at some point weird that he stood there.

“Are you leaving already?” The alpha nodded toward the packed bags on Akaashi’s cleaned bed where he had already removed the old bedsheets and folded the blanket like you normally do when you leave a hotel.

“Yes I couldn't sleep anymore. I didn't mean to sneak out or anything I would have returned in a couple of hours to bring breakfast and properly say goodbye” Akaashi did not owe the alpha an explanation since he hadn't done anything wrong but he still kinda felt caught by the intense forrest green eyes and wanted to at least try explain himself to the alpha.

Wakatoshi stayed silent, just resting his expressionless eyes on Akaashi, who returned the gaze. It was making him uncomfortable and yet he could not look away, could not move like a deer in the headlights and just waited for the other male to do something, say something and relieve both of them of their frozen state.

A couple of moments, which felt like a literal infinity, the universe seemed to have pity on Akaashi because the Alpha finally moved, he nodded and with that broke their intense eye contact. “Alright, do you want me to help you carry the bags downstairs?”

The dark-curled male nodded, feeling like he just woke up from a trance and gripped Kazuki and as many bags as he could, caring the last pieces of his belongings to his car with Ushijimas help. They stayed silence on their way downstairs, and even when Akaashi packed the bags in the car Ushijima just stood quiet next to him and held the sleeping Noriyuki in his arm.

“Alright” Keiji said, closing the trunk of his car and turning back to the older male to take his son from him, but Ushijima refused. The omega raised a brow at that, and waited patiently until the other male seemed to have sorted his mind. “You are not leaving forever are you?”

“I-” Akaashi felt like all his words and air was knocked right out of his lungs. What was the alpha thinking? That he just left in the morning without saying goodbye and never speaking to the two people again? Did he really think he was capable of being this cruel?

Ushijima lifted his gaze again from their son, intense green drilling inside Akaashi’s eyes. “You are not right?” Seems like he took Akaashi’s silence for a bad sign. “Of course I am not” The omega rushed to say and placed a hand on Wakatoshi’s shoulder “I told you I just couldn’t sleep anymore. I was planning to come back for breakfast, and no matter what I am only a 30 minute car ride away”

Some tension seemed to fall off Ushijima’s shoulders, and he nodded slightly.

“I can still see him?”

“Whenever you want to. You will always be welcome” Akaashi smiled and took a closer step to the alpha. He would never, not in a million times think about denying Noriyuki his father, especially not if he was as fantastic as Wakatoshi. He had agreed to it before in a lawfully document, but even if he did not, Akaashi’s heart and moral couldn't agree with such action.

Ushijima nodded again, now visibly satisfied with the answers that he got and pulled Akaashi into a tight hug, which the smaller male gladly accepted. The alpha’s hugs were warm and comforting, just like the feeling of returning home after a long day of hard work.

They pulled away from each other, leaving lots of unsaid things between them just knowing what they were intentionally and parted their ways, not forever, just for a couple of hours until Akaashi returned as promised for breakfast, but for now.

The alpha took Akaashi by his word, and came over whenever his strict time schedule allowed it. Akaashi was glad on the one hand, to see that Ushijima wouldn't abandon him and Noriyuki now, but on the other hand it was much harder to get over the alpha when he still saw him. Everyday.

They went on like that for a couple of months, Wakatoshi keeping his visits regularly because he didn't want to miss a single second of his son’s life, and did not want the baby to forget him. Akaashi granted him entrance everytime, feeling how his feelings cut deeper and deeper scars inside his heart and soul with everytime the alpha was there and still not his.

Today was another day were Ushijima decided to come over, a nice saturday afternoon, near evening already when the doorbell rang. Akaashi had just put the baby down to sleep almost an hour ago. They had a very long and sleepless night, because Noriyuki has extreme struggle sleeping now where he is growing teeth, and Akaashi is barely getting just a full hour of sleep at once.

Now woken up by the door bell after just falling asleep on the couch Akaashi headed toward the door, his eyes not even fully opened and his vision still blurry which was why he took a couple of moments until he recognized the male in front of his door. “Wakatoshi! I’m so sorry I didn’t- I forgot that you wanted to come over- come in,come in” Akaashi stepped aside to make room for the alpha, who stepped in with a smile. “It’s alright Keiji, don’t worry”

The omega answered with a sweet smile and tried to ignore the butterflies inside his stomach as he closed the door behind the alpha that now took off his shoes. “Are you here without Satori again? Didn't he say he wanted to join you the next time?”

“He did say that, but unfortunately Satori has fallen ill. I can ressure you I wouldn’t be here if I’d suspect any of the illness on myself, I wouldn't want you to think I would just risk Noriyuki’s safety” The dark-haired omega hadn't really thought about that at all, but decided to nod anyway to Wakatoshi’s words like these in fact reassured him “That is very good, we wouldn’t want the poor baby to get sick wouldn't we”

“Speaking of” The alpha leaned a little closer to Akaashi, whose heart immediately beat a little faster “Where is he?”

The omega’s mind went black when the alpha’s scent came up his nose, spreading in his mind and leaving it cloudy. It was all he could think about, Ushijima’s scent, his gorgeous eyes that were now staring at him and his incredibly, soft looking and so fucking kissable lips. He knew how kissing them was and fuck he never thought that he would miss the feeling of them so much.

Occupied with those thoughts, Akaashi forgot what and even more important that Ushijima had even asked a question and could just stupidly ask “Where is who?”

Either way the alpha was really kind and wanted to overplay Akaashi’s embarrassing reaction, or he was just more than obvious, but instead of laughing at Akaashi or accusing him of being stupid he just repeated his question “Noriyuki. I am here to visit him, remember?”

“Of course!” The dark-haired omega ripped his gaze apart from the green-haired male, in the hope to get his mind back sorted and turned toward his apartment. “I am sorry I just fell asleep- Noriyuki and I had a very rough night. His teeth are coming out and all, and he barely sleeps anymore-and of course so do I” He tried to safe the situation by delivering a valid excuse for his dumb and messed up condition.

They walked past some clothes on the floor to the living room, where more clothes that needed to be washed and folded, a towel and even Akaashi’s dishes from last evenings meal and todays coffee mug and rests from bread that were laying all over the place. Being a mom was much more rough than Akaashi had first assumed it, especially if you lived alone and the time where your baby normally slept and you had time for you household was taken away from you. The young male barely had time for anything anymore.

He had plan to clean up before Wakatoshi wanted to come over. It would be embarrassing if the alpha saw how he was struggling, and he didn't want to look like he was failing. When Noriyuki fell asleep earlier he had only plan to sit down for 5 minutes, 5 bloody minutes before he wanted to throw all the laundry in the washing machine and afterward clean up behind himself.

But he had fallen asleep, and now his worst nightmare became reality and Wakatoshi saw his total mess, saw him failing and saw under what horrible condition his son lived. What if he was so shocked he demanded full custody of the baby? Could he do that? Akaashi could already see his world break apart. What sense did he have without his little baby in his life?

The omega felt his heart ache and squeeze together as he started to pick diverse stuff up hecticly “God I am so sorry- I swear it doesn't look like that here the whole time I swear- sit down I will just quickly clean that up-” Arms full of laundry the omega headed toward the bathroom, stuffing it inside the washing machine and quickly returned to clean his meal rests up under Wakatoshi’s judgemental eyes.

Tears started to fill his own eyes without the black-haired male having any control about it. Wakatoshi would surely take his baby away. What kind of parent would tolerate it to leave their child somewhere where it was clearly not safe and well kept?

He didn't know if it maybe were just the hormones, but suddenly his mind was just full of an angry, judgmental Wakatoshi and not anymore the sweet, caring male that Wakatoshi was.

“Keiji are you-” Wakatoshi started, but was cut off rather soon from Akaashi “Please” He whispered in a husky voice and swallowed heavily against his sobs “Please don’t take him away from me. He is my son as well and- he is my whole world please- I know this looks bad-” Sobs broke free from Akaashi’s chest and now he was breaking free into an complete mental breakdown.

“I-” Wakatoshi could for a couple of moments only stare at the other male, crying in front of him under such weird assumptions. He got up from the couch and wrapped his arms around Akaashi, pressing him to his embrace and holding him together as he was breaking apart.

The omega sniffled, first only getting worse at crying and sobbing now where he had a soothing embrace in which he could loose himself, but the alpha’s scent was way too comforting as that Akaashi couldn't relax into it. His arms wrapped around the other’s waist, returning the hug and he hid his face in the others strong chest. It wasn't quite unusual for them to hug as they were very friendly and sweet with each other, but somehow this still felt like something Akaashi didn't have in a long while. It felt so good, so far, so lovingly, so much like home.

Wakatoshi pressed a soft kiss on the omega’s hair and spoke in a deep, calm voice with him. “Are you feeling better now Keiji?” The smaller male exhaled shakely and sniffled gently before he nodded his head and broke free from the alpha’s hug, not wanting to make him feel weird.

But against what he expected, the alpha didn't let him leave the hug. He kept his arms around Akaashi, looking down on him with incredibly fondness in his eyes. “Perhabs you can tell me now what would have made you think such terrible things?”

Akaashi swallowed, hard enough that he felt his adams apple pop and teared his gaze away from Wakatoshi, not feeling like he was deserving of that incredibly fondness that he was shown.

However, a warm hand gripped his face and made him turn around his face with a firm, but still gentle grip, forcing him to look back up at the alpha and this time keep the eye contact. Akaashi melted in the touch, the warm sending sweet tickles over his skin that he allowed himself to sink in before he fluttered his eyes to meet Ushijima#s again.

“Whatever I may have done, to make you think those cruel things Keiji, they are untrue. I do not think of you as a failure or as a bad mother. In my opinion you are doing an incredibly tough job and I am really proud on you. You are handling our child very well, and even if the flat is a mess, Noriyuki is content and has everything he could ever need. Love, of a fantastic, caring, strong and beautiful omega”

Every other persons would have surely scramble something like that out of their brain now, just to comfort Akaashi and to be kind, wanding this to be quickly over.

But Ushijima wasn't some other person. And he never said something he did not mean. So Akaashi allowed his words to sink in, warm his anxious heart in his chest and revive his now wildly fluttering butterflies in his stomach as he finally proceeded that the other male had call him beautiful. Not because he had to, but because he wanted to.

His eyes shone with pure honesty, letting the omega’s knees get weak and he couldn't help but feel new tears build up in his eyes. He couldn't remember when someone had said something this kind to him the last time.

And honestly, it just made him want the other male even more. Burning desire overcame Akaashi, and if not in the heat of the moment, but the incredibly, crackling tension that flirred between them, the little inches that were between their faces and Akaashi did something impulsive that he would surely regret later.

He gripped the alpha by his neck, and pulled him down into a desperate kiss. His lips felt just as soft as they had done the last time they kissed, and as soft as they had been each and everytime Akaashi had fantasized about them.

It took him a couple of moments until he realized that Wakatoshi’s mouth was firm and stiff, not melting together with his lips as they would if this was wanted by both parts. He broke free, anxiety overcoming him again as he was rambling in his words over words he could say now to excuse his behavior.

However, before he even got te chance to do so, the hand around his chin tightened again and he was pulled back on Wakatoshi’s lips, which were now sweetly moving against his, lulling him quick into the kiss.

God how could ones lips be so soft. It wasn't fair, and in fact rather addicting but now the omega let himself fall into the feeling of it. He tightened his grip around the others neck, puling him closer and at the same time tilted his head to the side to deepen the kiss. Ushijima went with the movement, releasing his chin and instead wrapping his arms around the smaller’s waist, pulling him in that their bodies were close.

Akaashi escaped a gentle groan against the others mouth, not able to keep in the pleasure he was feeling in this simple kiss. So much and at the same time not enough. So sweet and yet so thirstening. So little and still so meaningful.

The alpha used his chance that he got from the smaller’s parted lips and slipped his tongue between them, claiming Akaashi’s mouth at his. The alpha’s taste almost brought Keiji over the edge, and soon he had forgotten everything around himself. Where he was, what time it was, hell he even lost the feeling about his own body, feeling like he was melting into a puddle that was only held together by Wakatoshi’s strong reassuring arms as he sucked the life right out og him in their wild make out.

Just as the alpha’s hands went lower, grasping the omega’s arse and getting a secure grip on his thigh, picking him up and attempting to lay him down on the couch the silence was cut from loud, shriek yells of a baby.

Noriyuki.

His instincts pulled Akaashi back into reality, away from the kiss and the sweet soothing dreamland he had just fallen into with Ushijima’s help and made him realize what was happening. Him, on Ushijima’s arm, near to being laid on his couch after they had made out so hard that his lips were fucking burning.

What did he think was he doing???

“Shit I- I need to go-”

“Keiji wait” The alpha held Akaashi tight in his grip making him unable to jump out of his grip as he had planned to, in panic. “Don’t just ran away please” Akaashi looked back at the father of his son, and it was even more hard to think that what they just did was wrong when he looked so fucking good with the messed hair and the messy, drool covered lips.

But he really couldn't do this right now, he needed to go. Right fucking now.

“Wakatoshi put me down I need to go to my son-” Akaashi’s tone was unintentionally a little more rough that he had intentioned, knowing very well that Noriyuki was as well his child and that he was acting everything but mature.

Against what he had expected Wakatoshi still didn't let go and didn't look at all like he was hurt from his words at all. He just eyed Akaashi with an expressionless gaze, before he gently put him down and carefully rubbed a hand over his back “I will go look what he need. I came here to see him anyway. Go and take some time for yourself”

Without even waiting for the omega’s reply the alpha left toward the nursery and suddenly Akaashi was alone, his thoughts and feelings washing with an overwelming strength over him. He stood in the room, one minute, two minutes, five minutes before it got too much. He grabbed the dishes from the coffee table, brought them in the kitchen and placed them inside the dishwasher before he decided to take a shower. It had always help him clear his mind, and it would surely now bring him back to his senses.

The raven-haired male locked himself into his small bathroom, even though he trusted Ushijima he really couldn't handle it now if he should walk in. He turned the jet of the shower on and stripped his clothes off before he went without any hesitation into the shower.

The hot water was incredibly relaxing and in a completely other way comforting for Akaashi. He turned the water hotter multiple times, until his skin turned bright red. He felt like he was receiving a warm hug, that was telling him everything was alright and like he hadn't just ruin his whole life with a stupid impulsive thought, at the same time washing, no burning his shame away and punishing him for what he did.

When the heat wasn't takeable anymore he turned the heat lower, and reached for the first time for the soap and washed his body properly while he allowed his now cleared mind to think. It had been definitely wrong to kiss Wakatoshi. No matter what the moment had said, he was married and he had just been kind, nothing more. He needed to speak with him about it, even though that was hella making him uncomfortable but he needed to be mature about this.

They might also needed to tell Tendou about it. Even though Akaashi really didn't want to.

He needed to get a distance to Wakatoshi as long as he couldn't control his needs. He wouldn't ruin the others life just because he couldn't kee it in his pants.

By the time he got out of the shower, he had made up a safe plan what to say to Wakatoshi and what would be his next steps now. But when he started to get dressed, he wondered if there were more couples, who participated in the project and might had a similar experience.

While he brushed over his teeth, for the clean feeling he looked up reviews of the project Share the luck and love. Many people were very satisfied with its outcome, but Akaashi also found what he was looking for.

For example Atsumu Sakusa wrote, that he had met his now husband on the project, and that they had fallen shortly after the birth of their first child for each other. They were now married and waited for their next baby, even though both of them could have never thought about getting married before, which was why they signed up for this project.

Another user, Tooru Iwaizumi and Koushi Sawamura did also share the experience of Atsumu and Akaashi, that they had fallen for their match on the project rather fast. Koushi long before he gave birth so that he and his husband were married by the time their child was on the world and Tooru telling he and his now husband of just a week were also very happy with their toddler, even though they had immense struggle with each other before, but being parents brought them closer.

On the other hand someone named Kita said that he and his partner hadn't ever felt something for each other. They went through their arrangement and that was it, now they still meet up with their husband and fiance as a group of 4 meeting with the child and gave the project good recommendations.

Akaashi sighed, unsure if this did now actually help him or not. Eitherway he decided it would surely be the best if he called the fonder of all this, Semi Eita who must know what was to do now, given that Akaashi wasn't the first case where feelings got involved and things threatened to bash out.

Also, he thought of the blonde male as a very competent man, after he spent a very long time with him whenever he was at Kenjirou’s office.

The dark-haired omega took a deep breath and then typed Semi’s number in the phone, and while it was connecting he thought about what he would even say, which was all washed away when someone picked up, someone who wasn't Semi and who’s voice he’d recognize in no time. “Yes what is it?”

“I- Shirabu?” Akaashi frowned and threw a short gaze at the time “What are you doing to this time at Semi´s place?”

The doctor on the other side of the line must have to lay around in a bed because it sounded like he sat up fast now, Akaashi could hear bedsheets rustle. “We were out drinking a bit,” He vaguely said, but this time Akaashi didn´t want to accept that he was clearly lying.

“And then you ended up in Semi´s bed?”

It was silent for a moment and Akaashi already wanted to check if the doctor had just hung up on him but then he sighed, sounding resigned “Yeah. And let me be honest with you it wasn´t the first time”

The omega gasped, and even though he had been suspecting something like this for months now, it was still quite a shockt to hear the doctor say it out loud. Who would have ever thought that these two would be fucking? After all the times Shirabu had complained about the blonde alpha.

“I knew it” Akaashi still needed to triumph “Really thought you could hide something from me huh? Fucking slut” He could practically see Shirabu shrug on the other side of the line and heard his smirk when he answered “Well I hoped so? And you always did suspect something didn’t you. But lets be honest, for that cock everyone would be a slut I mean holy fuck-”

“Whos cock?” A darker, much rougher voice added to the conversation and Akaashi could hear the bed Shirabu must be laying in crieck under the weight of someone; properly Semi. “Who are you calling anyway? I was just out for a smoke”

“Just Akaashi, he called you and I kind of exposed us picking up” Shirabu didn't sound sorry at all, even though what he just said must have been something like an excuse. “What did you want anyway Akaashi?”

Right, the origin matter why Akaashi had called returned to his mind. “Wanted to speak about some uh- complications with Semi about the project, can I borrow him a moment?”

“Sure” The phone must have been giving to Semi, who was now talking “Complications you say? Is something wrong? I thought your child was delivered healthy and you were getting along with Wakatoshi, no?” Akaashi’s mind suddenly drew pictures of the properly naked Semi Eita sitting on his bed, phone to his ear and his thick brows in that normal scowl he had usually on when Shirabu was talking to him. It was hilarious.

“Well we are getting along. Maybe even a little too well. I think I kinda caught feelings for him, and earlier we made out-” “You did what??” Shirabu’s voice was suddenly back, maybe he had ripped Semi the phone out of his hand, or maybe he just leaned closer to be able listening better. “And you call me the sluT! Damn Keiji wasn't he married??”

The curly male blushed furiously and he kinda wished his friend would not have heard that. If he could ask Semi for some privacy, given this was a business matter? “Exactly, wasn't Mr. Ushijima married? I think to some Satori? A red head right?” There was a shift in Semi’s voice, and he seemed to have put up some kind of business voice maybe realizing himself that it was kinda unprofessional to phone with someone after just hooking up with his business partner.

“Exactly. That is why I am calling..” And then Akaashi started to explain everything, how he had been catching feelings for the other male over the past months, how he moved out and had still feel guilty and about recent events in his living room. The two males of the other side of the line were listen patiently with only a few interruptions from Shirabu here and there demanding more details before Semi warned him to throw him out.

The omega also told them about his plan to confess, and after he ended that call they agreed that this had no to little affect on the project, but that it was very important that the two males got themself cleared up. Shirabu wished Akaashi much luck, and demanded a meeting with him soon for more spicy details both didn't want to mention in front of Semi and now it was silent in the bathroom.

Akaashi took another deep inhale and glanced at himself in the mirror, his now dried and even crazier curling hair, the still slightly reddened skin, the still burning lips from that kiss. He knew he was on the best way to get his own heart broken now, but he needed to do this. To clear things up. To not make things more complicated and awkward. For his inner peace.

He unlocked the door of the bathroom, and slowly walked back into the living room, finding Ushijima standing in the middle of the room, swaying Noriyuki in his arms. His first instinct was to go over and stroke over his little babies head, but he didn't want to make the other male uncomfortable with too much shared body contact.

“You’re back” Wakatoshi smiled at him and Akaashi couldn't fight an own little smile creeping up on his lips “Yeah, sorry it took so long” None of them said something more, only staring at each other for some more moments. Akaashi tried to recall the words he had prepared earlier, without getting distracted by the thought of how fucking hot Ushijima looked, standing there and just patiently waiting for him to get himself collected while holding their baby.

Oh maybe in another universe, they could be together.

“Alright” Akaashi started, clearing his throat loudly “Please sit down Wakatoshi, I need to speak with you” The alpha followed his plea, and sunk down on a seat of the couch, Akaashi taking one as far away from the alpha as it was possible. Still he could feel his bodywarmth on his legs.

“What happened earlier” The omega wanted to get straight to the point “The kiss. That wasn't okay. I take the whole blame. I took advantage of the situation, and I am really sorry. I shouldn't have made a move on you, I know you are married and I know you are more than content in your marriage. I understand if you want to tell Sator, I will not ask you to lie on my behalf. I also understand if you want some distance, even if not I would like some. I need time to sort myself and to get a grip on myself. I have caught feelings for you Wakatoshi, I am not gonna lie. It was one of the major reasons I moved out, because I never planned to act on my feelings. I know you do not feel the same, and I do not wish to ruin your perfectly fine marriage. I am really sorry, especially if this ruins things that stand between us and I will ask you even if it is just for Noriyuki I would wish for that we get this cleared up and can continue like this never happened”

The omega finished his monolouge, and looked up from his hands when Ushijima didn't answer after multiple seconds. The alpha’s expression appeared thinking, apparently he had gotten that Akaashi was indeed done with his speech and now he only had to think about an reply. Akaashi feared it, but he needed to be strong now and listen to it. Running away and ignoring this issue was not an option and he knew that. Sadly.

Finally, after a couple of moments Ushijima started to speak “First I will have to agree with you Keiji, I will in fact tell Satori about recent incidents, because I am a big supporter of honesty and I would never want to lie to my husband. In other aspects, on the other hand I must disagree with you”

The omega faltered and looked up to meet Ushijima’s eyes again but the alpha just continued “Our kiss had not been entirely your fault. I have been acting on it just as much. An activity like that is always coming from both sides, and if I may remind you I did pull you in the second time”

Oh Akaashi did remember. Still he did blame himself, since he wasn’t fucking married.

“With the assumption that I am content in my marriage you are also right. I love Satori, with all my heart and I wouldn't even want to hurt him” The younger male’s heart sunk and he squeezed his eyes together for a short moment, preparing himself for what would come now.

“And still.. I can not get you out of my head. This feeling had been confusing me for months, I am uncertain when it started” The omega’s eyes grew wide, he had expected everything but this. “You did not, as you say it make a move on me or ruined everything between us. I wanted this just as much, because I need to find out what this kind of feeling is. I can not put a name on it, maybe it is love as you have it for me. It does not feel exactly like the feelings I have for Satori though, but something inside me needs, no-”

The alpha stopped himself “Demands you. Is possessive about you. The day you told us you were moving out I was so furious, and I couldn't explain it logically. I knew I could still see Noriyuki and yet.. Something inside me was so angry you, would be away from me. I haven't thought much about that kind of feeling, but I fear after todays action this might be more serious than I have first assumed it. And we should get the change to explore that feeling and act on it”

The alpha stopped apparently waiting for Akaashi to answer or maybe just to catch his breath it didn't matter. Akaashi was completely speechless. From every scenario he had thought about this had definitely not been one of them. Wakatoshi’s words echoed in his mind, driving him crazy and letting his gut twist.

Something inside me needs, no- demands you.

I am possessive of you.

What the fucking hell.

“I shall speak with Satori” Wakatoshi said, after a couple of minutes where they stayed in silence “He deserves to know. I wouldn't want to break his heart” Akaashi nodded, still too stunned to speak and felt his heart flutter once more by seeing how caring and sweet Ushijima was.

“Is that alright with you? I would offer you to join me, but I would rather first speak alone with him” The two male’s eyes reconnected, and Akaashi felt himself drown in forrest green eyes. “Of course. You should speak alone with him. I hope it wont get ugly”

The alpha tenses his jaw, and nodded “Yeah, I hope for the same”

The two males raised from the couch, and Akaashi lead the alpha to the door, taking the Baby back into his arms when they reached it and watched after the alpha who promised to tell him tomorrow how the talk with Tendou went, before he disappeared in the dark of the night.

This afternoon had been a real rollercoaster. First his panic, the kiss, the shower, the exposing of Shirabu and Semi, his confession and Wakatoshi’s confession. Akaashi was too pure hearted to already imagine a future with Wakatoshi despite his husband, but he couldn't help and feel a little bit of excited butterflies in his stomach.

Ushijima had very well thought about the words, he would tell his husband when he unlocked the door to their home, following his usual routine of first dropping his keys into their key bowl, hanging up his coat and shout a sweet “Love, I’m home” While he stepped out of his shoes.

Today it felt a little wrong to him, knowing what he was about to do but he just loved his routine and had to stick to it.

His husband would, as usual not come up to the door and stay on his spot on the couch with a warm mug of hot cocoa between his hands after years of having Wakatoshi talk him out of drinking caffeine this late, while the green haired male stepped inside the kitchen first, washed his hands and got himself a mug of tee. It was a perfectly fine routine which they had perfected in the almost 5 years they were now married. Ushijima’s heart sunk a little whenever he thought about that.

With his tea in his hand he made his way to the living room, every step feeling heavy and meaningful. He knew what came now was important, and still he felt like he was ruining both of their lifes. But to think about that and maybe deciding otherwise would not be an option, Akaashi and he had done a mistake and he simply has fallen in love with the mother of his child. He would feel even more miserably if he did not tell Tendou and trick him for many years, just because it was easier or something. He needed to stand up for himself.

Wakatoshi reached the couch and sunk down on his usual seat next to Tendou, stirred with a spoon in his tea and put it down on their glass table. He felt his heartbeat increase and felt the sweat wet his hands.

“Satori I need to talk to you” The alpha turned toward his husband, and saw that he immediately had the red haired’s attention.

The alpha let his gaze flick over the man he had loved for so many years now and took all of him in again. He was sure Satori would hate him after this, but maybe one day he could remember that they as well had good times before.

Ushijima took Tendou's slender hand in his, like he always did when he got nervous and started to play with his spider-leg like fingers. On the beta's face grew a scowl and now he seemed to realize that whatever was coming now was serious.

“Waka, what's wrong? Just tell me” He squeezed the alpha's hand, and gave him a reassuring smile. Oh how often this smile had already been the brightest light in Wakatoshis life in all of those years where he was fighting with himself, his strict parents and the echo of his strict childhood and the constant force to work harder. In all of those years where people were thinking of him as weird because of the way he speaks or he acts, not like normal stereotype people.

Alone because of this, he had to be honest with Tendou. Because this wonderful man deserved it. The alpha exhaled heavily and brought Tendou’s hands to his mouth, carefully spreading kissed over them like he had done so many times before.

The red haired guy waited patiently knowing that it was sometimes hard for his husband to express his feelings to someone, even to him after all of those years. “Something has happened today, and I believe that we need to speak about the aftermath of it. I hope we can talk it like mature adults, even though I would get and accept any kind of anger from your side”

Tendou stayed silence, already sensing now what was coming. Ushijima continued “Today, at Keiji’s place he kissed me. At first, I didnt return his kiss but then I did. It got a little out of hand, but I can promise you we did not sleep with each other.” Wakatoshi swallowed heavily and took a look over Tendou to see how he was taking the bomb he just dropped on him.

“We talked about it afterward, and Keiji confessed his feelings for me. I for my part am not sure if I do have so called feelings, but I do feel attraction toward him. I think it is only fair to let you know that, because I would never want to do something behind your back and betray you. I am really sorry if I already did”

Tendou swallowed, nodded and squeezed Wakatoshi’s hands “Okay. Thank you- for telling me. So.. you think you also have feelings for him?” Wakatoshi gently shrugged, his eyes full of honesty “I really don't know. I don't exactly feel the same as I feel for you. But I can not stop thinking about him. I need him.”

The beta nodded, thinkingy “Okay I think I understand that. What should we do, or better said what do you want to do?”

The alpha inhaled deeply, then exhaled heavily, knowing very well what impact his next words could have on their life.

“We should consider breaking up”

Chapter Text

At first, Wakatoshi and Satori tried something similar to an open relationship. They stayed married for the moment and had a long, serious discussion about how things should go on now. Both of them didn't want to throw their marriage away, but on the other hand Wakatoshi didn't want Tendou to be married to someone who didn't give him all his attention and love that he deserved, so they needed a solution in between.

After they set on certain boundaries, on what they were okay with and what was not okay, Wakatoshi and Akaashi spent some more time together, exploring their feelings for each other and talking for hours, under acknowledgment of the set rules and boundaries.

Those boundaries were for example that Akaashi and Ushijima would only talk and keep a certain body distance to each other, didn't kiss and that they obviously didn't sleep with each other. This whole pre-dating phase wasn't thought to be for Ushijima to cheat on Tendou with his knowledge and sleep his way through the town.

Their meetings were also held at closed places like Akaashis place, mostly Akaashis place because people shouldn't start to talk behind their back about Tendou and Ushijima’s marriage where it wasn't their business and might get the wrong ideas.

Akaashi was more than alright with those rules. He was very glad that Tendou had reacted so well to Ushijima's news, but he still felt incredibly uncomfortable around the redhead. Maybe he was just pretending to be fine, and Akaashi would more than just understand if he hated him.

He had crushed into their marriage like some thunderstorm, when they were welcoming him warmly in their home and their family. He hated himself for it, and god if it wouldn't be for those strong feelings he would have suppressed them for the rest of his days.

The months passed and as the omega had already suspected it, his feelings for the alpha grew even more with every moment they spent together. He wanted him to be his, his alone and with every hour they could not spend their time together as an official couple where everyone knew about them and their feelings, where he wasn't showering the alpha with love and affection like he wanted to and like he deserved it, and where they embraced each other, he was craving his touch a little more.

They had just celebrated Noriyuki’s first birthday, when they sat together to discuss the results of this little project and had another long and serious talk. They came to the conclusion that those feelings that Akaashi had were mutual and not at all how he had feared one sided. The alpha stated himself that his starting feelings, that he could not name in the beginning had in fact grown and he couldn't deny anymore that it was love.

Akaashi felt like a Tsunami of wild storming and mixed feelings washed over him, that was throwing him on the ground. Of course he was relieved that Ushijima enjoyed their time just as much as he did and that he returned his feelings, but on the other hand he hated that he brought Ushijima in that Situation. The situation, to go to his husband of almost 6 years and explain to him that he wanted another man.

It was Tendou, who finally was brave enough to name the elephant in the room and offer Ushijima a divorce. It happened during a dinner at their place for which he even invited Akaashi and the baby. They had eaten in silence, Akaashi more gagging on his meal than actually enjoying it.

He had wanted to leave the moment Tendou returned from work. He was at their place to return something Ushijima forgot the last time at his place and stayed for a coffee. The omega almost felt caught when the red haired came home and found the alpha and the omega together on the couch, of course with a certain distance and offered Akaashi to stay for dinner.

Tendou insisted, and Akaashi’s guilt kept him here.

But when Tendou cleared his throat after 10 minutes of silent eating and said that he wanted a divorce he wished he could disappear into some hole on the floor.

Multiple things happened at once. Ushijima’s fork fell with a loud chatter out of his hand and on the floor while Keiji choked on his food and coughed loudly, trying not to actually die.

Noriyuki flinched in his seat next to Akaashi, but seemed to sense the tension in the room and decided that it was wiser not to start crying now as well. The omega drank a sip of water and calmed down, causing a very sudden silence in the kitchen.

The black-haired almost didn't dare to look over to Wakatoshi, and when he still did he knew why. He was not prepared for that gaze in his face, full of shock and… pain.

Pain, that he had caused.

His heart ached, 70% because of guilt and the rest because of jealousy. Jealousy he didn't want to feel, because even though he knew Ushijima liked him he was allowed to be hurt about his marriage breaking apart.

His gut twisted, and the food he had hardly managed to force down his throat threatened to come out again. He felt like, no, knew that this was a private moment and even though he was part of this problem he knew this was not a conversation for his ears.

So he was the first one to speak, breaking the silence while he stood up “I think I should get home. Thank you a lot for the food, and have a great evening.”

Ushijima’s head snapped back to the young omega, trying to catch his eyes, but the dark haired male managed not to look at anyones face as he exited the dinner room to bring his dirty plate in the kitchen, grabbed his child and left the flat.

Tendou for his part wore a straight face. He had more than enough time learning to cope with the situation that he always knew was coming. He just had not come to accept that earlier, and lived in denial. But he saw the way his husband looked at Akaashi, and if he was honest he wanted someone who only looked this way at him.

The couple talked through the night, discussing about if this really was the right decision, excusing by the other and spilling many, many tears

Past that evening, Akaashi and Ushijima stopped seeing each other. Akaashi felt disgusting throwing himself onto Ushijima after he just broke up with his former husband, and the green-haired male for his part felt like he owed it to Tendou to wait until their divorce was officially through.

They had signed the papers and signed them in together. Now they only needed to wait their divorce year before it was officially through.

That wasn't too bad, since a lot of thighs needed to be handled. Next to financial, and official stuff also feelings. They stopped sharing a bedroom after their talk and even though Ushijima demanded he would move out of their shared bedroom it was Tendou who ended up in the guest bedroom.

“There are too many memories of our time, I couldn't take it. I need a neutral space” The read-haired explained, and even though he was no expert, Ushijima could hear in his voice that he was holding back tears.

But he accepted, he would do everything to make this at least a little bit easier for Tendou.

After shared bedrooms, there followed more uncomfortable things. Both males started to look out for new places to live, and split up their belongings. Ushijima didn't want to take much, and neither did Tendou. It ended with Ushijima moving out first, leaving more than half of their inventar with Tendou for him to sell, because he didn't want anything of it, and did not want just a bit of the money. He didn't deserve it.

They also needed to clear up about some formulaic things, such as Tendou taking back his own last name, quitting shared arrangements, deleting their shared bank account and of course telling friends and family. Everyone was shocked to hear about the news, since they had always seem so happy and unbreakable together.

They never told them the real reason, just that they didn't work out anymore. It was Tendou’s wish, since he didn't want all of his family and shared friends to hate Ushijia. He didn't hate him either, he was just sad they weren't supposed to work out.

They stopped talking after all of those things were cleared up, since both of them needed space and time to think. Tendou threw himself into work, and Ushijima took a couple of days off to sit at home and think about everything.

Of course he had been sure about the divorce, and also about his feelings for Akaashi. He was a man of science and he never did something half hearted or something that wasn't well thought through.

Yet he felt.. Empty. He missed Tendou despite his clear affection toward Akaashi and their child, because he had been his friend for a very long time now, going through real tough shit with him and always holding loyally to him.

It felt like a huge betrayal to leave him behind, and yet he didn't regret his choice. He didn't understand the chaos inside his head, and even though he knew this would probably calm after some time, he felt helpless and uncomfortable.

His visits at Akaashi’s, whenever he picked up their child for some hours together, was his best medicine against that feeling. Seeing Akaashi was sweet torture, reminding him on the reason he was in this situation but also calming him and healing his poor soul.

Noriyuki was his whole joy, brightening up dark afternoons that they spent on the playground or in stores, and with the time passing Ushijima became master of his feelings again. He was of course sad his marriage had not worked out, but he could just as much as Tendou see that this was the best decision. It wasn't anybody's fault, and they handled this the best way possible, and with the passing months he was able to focus more and more on a promising and exciting future with Akaashi and exploring their feelings for each other.

And finally, after long 12 months their divorce was through and Ushijima was officially a single man again. He wouldn't say that he felt free or something, quite the opposite. He felt like he did everyday, and this isn't this much of a change, for which he was glad since he despised big changes so. He and Tendou still didn't talk, and that was okay.

Even though he wondered often how his ex-husband felt at the moment, or if he had moved on already.

Now there wasn't anything anymore stopping Akaashi and Ushjima from exploring their feelings for each other. They still decided to take things slow, and a good month after the divorce was official they went on their first official date.

They went into some coffee out of town, in case someone who knew Tendou and Ushijima saw them. He didn't want to seem like he was just moving on jumping into the next relationship, and he also didn't want to hurt Tendou. Of course the red-head knew they were going out, or he probably guessed it, but he didn't need to rub it under his nose. He hurt Tendou enough in the past.

The two males decided for some sweet little cafe, where they spent some time, drinking coffee and talking about their days, just like they always did. Afterward they went on a walk through a nearby park, which was at first awkward but soon got pretty normal as well.

Akaashi didn't even know why he had been nervous for this date. It wasn't like he was some teenager going out with his crush. He was a grown man going out with the father of his child that he had talked about their very strong feelings more than just once and who he had waited for like forever.

Yet he felt more than electrified on his way to the cafe and whenever Ushijima touched him, even if it was short and accidental he felt like he just burned himself. But wasn't this somehow showing that this was worth everything? That their feelings were strong and good and exciting?

Luckily, Ushijima was as calm as always, Akaashi’s solid rock in the surf. He took the first step and took Akaashi’s hand in his, when they walked around a playground where Noriyuki was playing with some children.

Immediately, the omega calmed down when he felt the alpha’s warm palm on his and their skin seemed to melt together almost effortlessly. His stiff body relaxed and soon their conversation got calmer.

They ended their date a little while later with a sweet hug and a gentle kiss on the cheek. There was no need to rush anything and jump all in a relationship. They both went their separate way home, and made it routine to go on those dates not every week.

After some time Akaashi wasn't even so anxious and excited for their dates anymore, he was still looking forward to them, but more in a very mature and calm way. The omega had read somewhere, a long time ago, that real love didn’t feel exciting and all the time crushing and electrifying. It felt calm and settling, like coming home.

And if he was being honest, this was exactly how he felt around Ushijima. Like he came home and like he had finally found his place where he belonged. Like he found his life purpose after searching it for so long.

After three weeks of dating, the couple had their first kiss. They just went to a funfair, and while Noriyuki went on a ride in a carousel and Akaashi stayed to watch over him, Ushijima went to get them some snacks. He returned with some chocolate strawberries and hot chocolate that Akaashi gladly took in his hands to warm them a little.

The alpha’s arm wrapped comfortably around the smallers waist, puzzling him into his embrace and warming him with his body warmth while he fed his boyfriend with the strawberries. They were delicious, a perfect combination of fruit and thick chocolate, just a little cold on the teeth.

The way the alpha carefully fed Akaashi got the dark-curled male giggle, thinking of that he usually just fet their baby this way made Akaashi’s heart feel warm and let his cheeks tint red. Not especially with embarrassment, but because he felt safe and warm and incredibly happy.

After the strawberries were empty followed the hot cocoa. It tasted delicious, the chocolate aroma strong and dominant on the omegas tongue. Letting the hot liquid run down his throat warmed the omega from the inside to the outside and spreads nice comfortable happy feeling in him.

The end of the cup was quickly reached and the alpha was kind enough to bring their cups away. When he returned he pulled Akaashi back in his warm embrance, their noses resting comfortably on each other while they just breathed unison.

Wakatoshi's warm breath tickled on the smallers face and stole a soft giggle from him which made the alpha pull away. His warm eyes flicked calmly over the dark-haired's face and he hummed “I love seeing you smile”

The omega felt his cheeks heat up as blood rushed into his pale cheeks tinting them red again. Warm hands cupped his face, careful thumps rubbing over his burning skin. Akaashi saw the alpha's brow furrow slightly as his eyes fixated a spot near his lips.

“You got some chocolate there” Ushijima’s warm green eyes still rested on the smaller’s face with such fondness while he removed a hand from his face and carefully rubbed the leftover chocolate from his face, which once again let Akaashi feel like a child.

On the other hand he had rarely felt this much loved and like someone was caring like that for him.

His own gaze was now stuck to the alpha's face, watching Ushijima’s concentrated expression as he cleaned the choclate from his face. The taller male took a short look at his thump before he moved it to his own mouth, sucking the left choclate off it.

It made something in Akaashi’s gut twist, and without his intention his gaze glued to the alpha's lips. How soft they looked. And so warm. Of course Akaashi knew what they felt like, hell even how that mouth tasted like but god he didn't have it in so long and it was killing him.

Wakatoshi's pink tongue quickly swapped over his own lip to clean of the remains of the chocolate. His hand returned to Akaashi's cheeks and his gaze searched the blue of the omega's warm eyes.

Those blue eyes were still fixed on his lips, taking them in and getting lulled into their incredible beauty that he wanted to experience all again and claim it for his own. Later Akaashi couldn't even tell who moved first, if it was Wakatoshi or himself, or if they just kind of met in the middle, but their lips ended up together, connecting them into a breathtaking deep kiss.

The alpha’s mouth was warm despite the cold outside warm and soon it became the most important warm spot in Akaashi's whole universe, his sun if you wanted it that way. The softness of those lips were lulling, inviting and the way the alpha moved his mouth against the omega's made his knees wek.

Akaashi fell forward right into Ushijima’s arms, but the other male didn't mind and just pulled him, without breaking the kiss closer by his waist and returned the kiss with even more emotion.

Akaashi's hands tangled soon enough in the other's hair and when Ushijima's tongue brushed over his sensitive lips he had already long forgotten where they were and how much time has passed since their lips connected.

He just returned to reality when he heard the shouts of Noriyuki, telling his parents that his ride was over and he wanted to be picked up from the carousel. The omega broke almost harsh away from the kiss, finding his partner's gaze in no time and saw his own inner chaos mirrowed in it.

Love. Surprise. Confusion. Happiness.

“I will get him” Ushijima whispered and placed a gentle kiss on Keiji's nose tip. He didn't know why the taller one was whispering, but if he was being honest he would have done the same. It seemed to be the only right thing to do now, to not break the magic of their kiss.

But that magic could never break. Not even when Ushijima pulled away from Akaashi and jogged over to their son, picking him from the carousel back into his arms and then returned to his mother, that he left stunned, with burning lips and butterflies flying so eagerly that Akaashi believed for a moment he would lift from the ground and levitate above it, maybe even fly away high up in the sky like some bird flying in toward the south in winter.

After that day, they took their relationship on another level and were an official couple. Their dates started to be more and more exclusive and Akaashi finally started to get comfortable.

With the seasons getting colder and colder they decided on more rarely going actually out and set their dates to either Ushijima’s or Akaashi’s place. It was much easier with Noriyuki as well, whenever he was sick or was in danger or getting sick. It was also much cheaper, but that was only a nice side effect since Ushijima earned more than enough and Akaashi had just picked up on writing again.

A couple of weeks before Christmas they decided again for a date at home. Noriyuki had just finished another cold and Akaashi felt much too wrecked about going out, so instead of going to some fancy restaurant as they had planned to first, Wakatoshi picked up some food at their favourite asian restaurant and came over.

Akaashi had everything set up. He bought a nice bottle of wine, which wasn't especially cheap but if he was being honest this date was more than worth it. They didn't have something to celebrate and still he wanted to show his boyfriend he appreciated him and wanted him to feel happy and have some nice wine.

The omega felt like he was wearing rose tinted glasses. During the past months he had felt like some teenager in their first relationship. He felt special and loved, because this was exactly what Ushijima wanted him to feel like whenever he cooked dinner for them or randomly picked Akaashi up for dates or brought him flowers in his lunch break.

Yes, the omega would say that he had definitely found the man that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. But we are keeping things slow after all, there wasn't anything that could tear them apart or could make them doubt anymore. They were in a healthy and stable relationship, had a healthy and well behaved baby and two very good jobs. They got a hopefully long and happy life with each other waiting for them and Akaashi couldn't wait for it.

The doorbell rang and announced Wakatoshi's arrival. It also meant that Noriyuki would soon have to go to bed, since Akaashi did allow him to wait for his father and give him a goodnight hug, but should rest in bed. He really craved that time alone with his boyfriend and didn't intend on waking their baby up more than he already was.

Whenever his father was around the little guy was highly excited and would barely calm down. Akaashi often wondered if that was because of the fact hat he wasn't living with them and the little boy might still feared that his father could leave them one day and never return.

The mere thought of it let Akaashi's heart sink a little as he wiped his hands on his new jeans and walked over to the door, letting Wakatoshi in and greeting him with a little hug.

The alpha was also fond of the ritual to bring their son to sleep, which was why he didn't waste just a moment and heated in Noriyuki's bedroom. Akaashi smiled and let him, since he knew very well he would have Wakatoshi all to himself for the rest of the evening, so he could wait a little longer.

And luckily the alpha didn't let him wait for too long and followed Akaashi in the living room some minutes later and finally greeted him with a kiss.

It had been supposed to be a quick peck on the lips just to say hello. However, something about the kiss was different, more intense in such a way that let them linger in their kiss a little longer.

The omega relieved a gentle sigh into the others mouth, his arms wrapping slowly around his neck and managing to pull the alpha down to him on the couch without forcing them to break away from each others. Ushijima followed his lead, carefully dropping on his spot next to Akaashi and snaking his arms around his boyfriend’s waist to erase the last inches between them.

Keiji couldn't help but smile from the warm feeling that the alpha’s acting caused in his chest and spread through his body. He refocused on their kiss, tilting his head gently and waiting for Ushijima to follow his attempt to deepen their kiss.

His tongue swapped over the omega’s lower lip, telling them to part for him and grant him entrance. Their tongues found each other, tangling and dancing with each other while their kiss got more and more sloppy the longer it lasted.

Akaashi’s lips slipped a high pitched tone that he had not intended to let out, yet his embarrassment couldn't make him turn away from the kiss. He needed this badly and he wouldn't deny himself anymore what he so deeply desired.

The alpha’s grip on his hip tightened and with a smooth motion was the omega lifted from the couch and placed on the alpha’s thigh instead. He wasn't quite sure if the alpha had intended this or if he was simply reacting a little impulsively, but Akaashi didn't mind either way.

With the new found position he had a better ankle for their kiss, his hands digging deeper in the alpha’s full and fluffy hair while he gently shifted on his lap, thighs rubbing against one another causing friction that got both of them quietly groaning.

Ushijima was the first to pull away from their kiss, both males now gasping for air to fill their lungs with, still connected through a strand of saliva between their lips.

“We should eat first” The alpha stated, while he let his hands run carefully over the omega’s thighs.

“It would be a shame to let this get cold” Akaashi’s breathless tone underlined the double meaning in his sentence, that he hadn't intention but didn't regret.

“I’m starving” The taller male’s hungry gaze on Akaashi’s mouth made clear he did not just mean the food.

Akaashi took Wakatoshi’s expression in for a long moment, sculpting every inch of that hungry expression, those messy lips and that greedy, lustfilled eyes in his mind so he would never forget, not like he could, before he slowly slid off his lap.

The alpha’s eyes followed him, watching every movement of his like a hungry lion watched his prey. It was clear he still tried to figure out what was going to happen and how Akaashi decided, because after all he was a gentleman and what Akaashi wanted Akaashi would get as long as he could give it to him.

And oh lord he could give the omega what he was craving for, since what he craved was nothing else but Ushijima. His touches, his body, his hot breath on his skin, his lustful gazes and dirty words and his fine member filling him out to full pleasure.

But he was also smart enough to know if he wanted what he craved they needed energy, and that energy they would get from their food.

His small hands reached first to the table, filling two glasses of wine with shaking hands and taking his food box, while Akaashi could feel Ushijima’s burning gaze on him, not losing track of him for just a second and just carefully observing the situation.

The tension between them was thick enough you could cut it, but in a positive way. Arousement, greed and lust dwelled next to them like a thick wall between them, which could offer them a door to get to each other and release the tension as soon as they wanted it.

There were a few moments of silence where the tension almost choked Akaashi and where he wasn't sure if Wakatoshi would cope with his plan and not just jump on him, ending what they started. But then the green-haired male took his box as well and they started to eat in silence.

For a while there was only the sound of the two eating males filling the silent room. From time to time one of them reached for their wine glass, but they never looked at each other, knowing if the did it would be the final drop in their already dangerously full glass of water and would let the water break free. If they looked at each other now, they would jump on each other without any hesitation, without any wasted thought about consequences or the loss of somebody and would just take from each other what they needed until they were satisfied.

And oh god, Akaashi knew he would be more than satisfied if Wakatoshi took him the way he wanted to.

It took them a few more minutes until they did, despite the knowledge of what would happen, look at each other and the tension that had built up in the room and had thickened the past minutes exploded.

They barely managed to put their food on the save table before Akaashi was back on the alpha, one hand fisted in the back of his shirt and the other one clawing in his hair. Their mouths crashed together in a wild kiss, Ushijima’s hand wrapped tighter than any skinny jeans of this planet around the omega’s thighs, keeping him right where he was and not giving him another chance to withdraw himself from this.

Akaashi hadn't intended to do so, but also didn't mind the secure grip on his thighs, forcing a very much lewd moan from his throat and made him grind against the alpha with full pressure on his cock, craving its attention.

He felt the desired body twitch underneath him before he was suddenly pressed down on the couch, Ushijima hovering over him, pressing him down in the soft cushion with his weight while his tongue demanded the entrance to Akaashi’s mouth.

The dominance in the alphas acting awakened old tribes in the omega, which were anchored in the deep downs of his instincts, activating needs and cravings that almost drove him crazy.

Their doing got quickly out of hand, their kiss more and more messy, their tongues playing hardly with each other, Akaashi's hands tightly gripping in the alpha's hair while their mixed spit ran down his cheek. Ushijima’s hands were roaming over the smaller's body, making him twitch and squirm under him, his slowly growing dick grinding against the male on top of him to release some tension.

Ushijima returned the movements, rocking his hips slowly and revilish down on Akaashi seeking the friction for his own pleasure. The omega slipped one or another moan that he couldn't hold back anymore, too desperate to hold back and too much not caring about the sounds that slipped his throat.

The dark-haired male shifted under the weight of the alpha, wrapping his legs around the waist of the alpha, squeezing his fine body between his thighs, clinging onto his body and sucking gently on his lip, his desire and need growing with every moment that he was denied what he needed.

The alphas hands slid slowly under Akaashi's shirt, his warm and rough hands feeling like a bliss on Akaashi’s sensitive skin, causing a strong goosebump to spread over his whole upper body. Ushijima seemed to notice, because Akaashi could taste his smirk on his lips before he pulled away, giving the omega to gasp for air.

His hand slid up higher under his shirt, exploring inch for inch of his soft, pale skin while his mound found another, quite sensitive spot on Akaashi: his neck.

The dark-haired male slipped a pleased moan when the alphas lips melted on his skin, his drool covering his skin wherever he his mouth wandered, from the base of his throat around his collarbone up to the sensitive spot behind his ear, where Wakatoshi took an extra effort for very passionate and drooly kisses that let Akaashi’s cock throb hurtfully.

The alpha’s hot breath tickling his ear gave the whole situation another kind of spice and Akaashi gasped out when his hips bucked uncontrollably, animated from a very mentionable squeeze of his nipple.

He couldn't help it and yelped out a low, but still high pitched “God Wakatoshi!” That sounded sloppy enough that one might think they were already fucking.

The huge, and stone-hard bonner that was pressing against his thigh told Akaashi that the alpha above him did in fact intent in fucking him. And no matter how badly he wanted this too, he stopped the alpha in the very moment he unbuckled his pants, ready to finally give Akaashi what he needed and revish him after his deepest desire.

The alphas face shoot up, his hands staying right where they are when his very confused, but still burning lustful eyes found Akaashi’s, the expression asking what had happened that he changed his mind all of sudden.

Oh lord as if Akaashi ever could after waiting for this moment for over 2 years.

The omega placed a sweet kiss on the alpha’s lips, wanting to erase that oddly adorable confused expression from his face. The kiss was a harsh contrast to their previous make out, yet it was just as lust awakening and torturing.

“We should move to the bedroom, shouldn't we? Its much more comfortable and-private there” Only the imagine of having Noriyuki walk in on them fucking like some horny teenagers on the couch had Akaashi terrified and he would do everything to prevent that.

Ushijima’s expression relaxed again, and the worried expression vanished from his deep-green eyes, only leaving deep lust behind. “That’s rather wise of you Keiji, we should really do that”

The green-haired male raises slowly from the couch, leaving Akaashi rather cold after sharing this close body contact for so long. Ushijima’s firm body was a real alive heater and he couldn't keep himself from gently shivering.

Before he got to raise himself on his feet again, Wakatoshi had already swooped him off his feet in bridal style, a gentle smile playing on his now plum and a little swollen lips.

The couple made their way to Akaashi’s bedroom, where the omega was placed on his bed and watched his boyfriend lock the door, before he stripped his shirt off, revealing his muscular back to the smaller male.

In mere seconds he had Akaashi's whole attention on him, ravishing each and every tense and stretch of his muscles and skin with his eyes. He didn't care if it was inappropriate to stare, and even if he did he couldn't stop. His gaze was glued to his boyfriend, like his head was stuck in place.

The alpha must have felt the burning gaze of the dark locked male on his skin, when he turned around to catch Akaashi starting with such intensivity a gentle smirk grew on his lips.

He put an extra effort in the flex of his abs, letting the muscle pop out visible and clear, causing Akaashi to his in arousement before he gently ran his hand over his chest, squeezing his skin here and there while their hands made their way down to his pants.

Akaashis gaze followed those hands with every movement they made, feeling Ushijima’s gaze on him but ignoring it, too focussed on the beauty of that body and how the tension of that little show made his asshole drip.

Those delicious hands found their way to the waistband of his jeans, unbuckling his belt with a harsh pull and almost ripping of the jeans where that from Akaashi desire thick bonner jumped out, only covered with the thin fabric of his boxers left.

Wakatoshi kept his gaze on the younger male while he slid down his jeans, kicking them away with a smooth motion and then getting on with his boxers. The light blue fabric tented under the huge impact of the alpha’s bonner, and the thick body jumped free the very moment his boxers followed his jeans on the floor.

Akaashi’s gaze was focused on that huge body while Ushijima walked over to him, grabbing him by his thighs and pulling him close with a strong pull. Akaashi gasped, his ass suddenly pressed dangerously close to the desired bonner.

“Let me help you~ undress~”

The alpha winked gently and helped Keiji to slip out of his pants, his pullover and his underwear, all in slow revilish movements that made the omega more and more needy for the others occasional touches.

The moment the last cloth fell on the floor, Ushijima was on top of Akaashi again, pressing him with his weight in the mattress and pressing their heated, naked bodies together.

Oh god how good this felt, Akaashi thought, soaking in the feeling of Wakatoshi's fantastic strong and sexy body on his.

Their lips collected again in a wild kiss, messy and drooly while Ushijima’s hands roamed over Akaashi’s body, touching his chest, his belly, his thighs and slid between his legs toward his ass cheeks.

The dark-haired male jerked up, sensitive for the touch on his most sensitive place after such long time not being rouched there and got a rough grip on Wakatoshi's wrist in the attempt to stop him.

The alpha freed himself from the kiss peppering little butterlfly kisses across Akaashi’s neck toward his ear, where he gently nippled on his earlobe, sending Akaashi back in time where they sat in that cafe and discussed their kinks.

‘Your ear?’

‘Yeah’

‘I should touch it?’

‘No, tease it. With your teeth’

Back then Akaashi thought it was emberassing to discuss those kinks, and that it would feel forced to then go after them. But it didn't. It felt natural and in the most ever possible way perfect.

Ushijima's deep bass beat into him, and he was sure he could have come from it alone

“Let me open you up for me, Keiji~”

The blood rushed into the omegas cheeks, so scarlet it was deep maroon, that Ushijima couldn't make out in the dark luckily. “N-no”

He felt the alpha grin on his ear, before he blew a hot breath inside it as he exhaled and pressed a gentle kiss on the sweetspot behind his ear.

“I need to my love~ do you trust me?”

God what kind of question was this? Of course he did.

Akaashi's silence was the only consent the alpha needed before he slid his hand deeper between his legs, carefully stroking over his sensitive, and cum soaked rim and groaned gently. “Damn baby~ you feel so wet for me already~”

After caressing his hole a little longer, the alpha slipped a first finger inside Akaashi, not in need of any lubrication since the cum alone was enough.

Akaashi gasped, not because he disliked it but because he deeply enjoyed this. It was the first time Wakatoshi opened the omega up for him, since he did it the lash time himself; but hell he was so fricking good at it.

A couple of moments later, where Akaashi’s as already starting to moan from those thick fingers alone the alpha shifted and suddenly his weight dissapeared from Akaashi again.

The omega leaned up, just in time to watch the alpha dive in between his thighs that he gently kept apart with his hands and started to eat him out.

The dark-curled male dropped back into his pillows, a loud cry tearing the silence in the ear. His hips bucked and rocked, attemtping to meet the harsh pace of Wakatoshi's skilled tongue while he was firmly pressed down on the mattress by strong masculine hands, not giving him any possibility to escape or to hurt the alpha by accident.

Just before he was actually close to coming, Wakatoshi lifted his head again, gently wiping his mouth with the back of his hand and sunk back on his heals, eyes pinned on a flushed and panting Akaashi.

“W-wakatoshi”

“Yes my dear?~”

“I need you”

The omega didn't need to say more, the glint in the alpha’s eyes and the twitch of his body now leaking with pre-cum bonner proved to Akaashi that he needed him just as much. The alpha reached for the nightstand, where Akaashi still kept his condoms. He was impressed that the alpha remembered, but did not want to waste much time on that thought now.

He watched his boyfriend roll the thin fabric over his thick bonner, his eyebrows pulling together in please as the touch of his hand release some tension from his hurting bonner before Wakatoshi positioned himself on his knees above Akaashi, one of his large hands wrapping around his thigh and moving it aside to create some space for himself before he sunk between his thighs.

Wakatoshi’s eyes found the omega’s, and next to the bright shining of lust and desire he could make out a bright spark of love and care.

“Are you ready, my love?”

If the alpha’s whole appearance wasn't absolutely breathtaking already it was the way the alpha asked despite his own needs for the omegas consent. He was a hell of green flag.

“Yes, I am~”

Ushijima smirked gently and leaned down to peck the omegas lips. He repositioned himself between the alphas thighs, lined his dick up and gentle inserted himself in Akaashi.

The omega gasped and gently arched his back when he felt the soft stretch. Ushijima had prepared him well, oh so very well that the alpha could slide so easily inside him without causing him any pain.

Wakatoshi pushed in deeper and deeper until he was fully inside, spreading Akaashi out to his fullest. The omega had completely forgotten the awesome feeling of the thick body inside him, fitting to him like a missing puzzle piece.

Being filled by Ushijima was tortue and pleasure at the same time, but right now it was only pleasure to the little omega.

The alpha placed sweet kisses along the smaller’s neck, while he waited for him to adjust his large dick. When he did, Wakatoshi slowly pulled back out until just his tip was left inside and pushed forward. Akaashi hissed, amazed by the friction and gripped knot the alpha’s shoulders, already assuming that what will be coming will force him to hold onto something.

The alpha repeated the movement, picking up his pace with every thrust. The air filled with the Wakatoshi’s heavy breaths and Akaashi’s moans that got louder and more sloppy with the time passing.

The omega’s hands clutched to the alpha’s back, his nails scraping greedily over the alpha’s muscular back, the mere feeling of his strength bringing Akaashi to the edge. His back arched under the force of pleasure that the taller male brought to him, not only through his harsh thrusts but also his teasing kisses and occasional licks on his neck, and sweet bites and leave of hickeys on his chest, marking up his territory.

This time everything felt so much better, beside the fact that they have been in heat and rute the last time. But this time, the tension seemed stronger, the passion more intense and every touch of their skin was more electrifying. Maybe it was the fact that this time was on their own will, because of their love and their demand of each other and noit the simply comply of instincts command.

The alpha finally found Akaashi’s sweet spot, causing the little omega to rock his hips up harshly and throw his head back. The feeling of the alpha’s thick tip meeting his sweet spot was toe curling, and even though he was close before due to Wakatoshi’s lewd preparing and his skilled thrusts he was now.

Of course the gree-haired male knew exactly what he did, and changed his thrusts to hit that sweet spot more precisely, his fat tip hitting it so well that it drove Akaashi crazy. He hooked his ankles behind his boyfriend’s hips, his heels putting more pressure to his movements to show the alpha he needed it harder, while his nails clawed in the backof the alpha’s neck and his head messed on his pillows.

He felt desperate to come, and he was sure he would explode if he didn’t do so soon.

Wakatoshi picked up on his pace, hitting with even more force into Akaashi and by the way his breathing changed into desperate gasping the omega knew he was just as close as he was.

Akaashi’s walls tensed around Wakatoshi, making the alpha groan and harden the process of thrusting inside him. His thrusts speed up once more, lost its precision and brought the already sensitive omega closer to the end, and dipping him finally over the edge when one more last pump found the right spot again.

Keiji’s orgasm came quick and unexpected, exploding in the dark-haired male like a vulkano. Wakatoshi came just a split second later, forced when his boyfriend’s walls squeezed his dick and milked his liquid literally out of him. Their bodies melted together in their orgasm that washing in waves through them before the alpha collapsed on top of Akaashi, trying to catch his breath.

The omega was just as much gasping, his head still spinning from the incredible high of his orgasm that he couldn't even create a straight thought.

They stayed silence, the room just filled by their heavy breaths and the smell of sex while they stayed like that, Wakatoshi resting on the smaller’s chest and Akaashi’s hand carefully nestled in his hair.

It was a nice comfortable feeling, that they both enjoyed so deeply and which they didn't want to ruin.

They didn't speak for another ten minutes, before Wakatoshi lifted Keiji, placed a sweet kiss on his lips and carefully slid out of him. They began to clean up real quick, taking a quick shower together and changing the bedsheets before they found their way into each others arms again, which was as well how they fell asleep.

Wakatoshi stayed all night, deeply snuggled together with his beloved little omega and sleeping all peaceful to the early morning hours where Noriyuki joined them in their bed and added himself into their cuddles. Akaashi’s heart felt like it would explode with joy, now where all his deep dreams were fulfilled.

After that night the two males got much more comfortable in their relationship. They enjoyed every second together and spend long revilish nights at one of their places.

The alpha spend most of his time at the omega's flat, and even more often spend his nights there, since he didn't have a nursery in his new flat anymore and it was much easier for him to stay over than for Akaashi to always have thousands of things for Noriyuki with him.

The alpha started to stuff things at Akaashi's place, two new outfits for those nights he stayed unplanned over and of course some needed bathroom things like his shower gel and a toothbrush. When Wakatoshi didn't come over in a while, Akaashi used to take his shower gel to wash himself with it, so he could have Wakatoshi’s scent with him and wouldn't have to miss him so much.

But the best thing about their changing living situation, was Noriyuki’s reaction to it. He soon made a habit out of it, to run into Akaashi’s bedroom every morning, his little heart full of hope to find his father in the omega’s bed. Whenever he did, his little eyes widened with joy and happiness before he threw himself on the bed, usually accompanied with his little teddybear and snuggled between his parents.

Akaashi normally then woke up, when his boyfriend lost the tight grip around his waist to pull their son in his embrace, smiled and went back to sleep for a couple of more hours before they needed to get it.

But whenever Noriyuki came running in, and found his father’s beside empty, his big childish eyes filled with incredible disappointment and sadness, that it always ripped Akaashi’s heart out of his chest.

Luckily, this wasn't very often the case, because soon the times Wakatoshi did stay over were the majority against the times he didn't.

Until that one morning, four months before Noriyuki’s birthday.

Akaashi and Wakatoshi were out the night before, and had a babysitter stay over to watch over their little baby, to get some time alone and spent a long night with revilish sex. And as always, Noriyuki would sneak into the room, around five in the morning nevermind what day it was, would squeak in happiness and then climb on the bed, between his beloved parents.

Akaashi opened his eyes, and watched Wakatoshi wrap a strong arm around their son, while his other was still nestled around the omega’s waist and watched Noriyuki snuggle deep into his father’s chest.

He never felt really jealous of the bond the two had, even though every other would have surely been a little hurt to watch their child to become a father’s child. But Akaashi just enjoyed it so deeply, to watch his little family be together and work so well, fulfilling every dream he ever had.

Akaashi was just about to drift back into his sleep, as he always did. But he was awake when his son started to speak.

“Daddy?”

Wakatoshi, who was obviously awake himself sounded sleepy when he replied “Yes buddy?”

There was a moment of silence where Akaashi almost believed that his son had fallen asleep again, but then he started to speak again “Why can you not always stay with Mommy and me overnight? I like having you here so much, and so does Mommy! We could all be so happy, right Mommy?”

Both males jolted awake, and looked at each other, a little shocked. They had not exactly talked about that step, but honestly why shouldnt they? Their relationship was more than content and fulfilling, and taking the next step and moving together would surely be very healthy for them.

“Well I find that idea very pleasant” Wakatoshi gave the omega one of his sweet little smiles, speaking out loud what Akaashi was thinking and letting the butterflies in his stomach fly high and warm his heart.

With this, the thing was decided. Akaashi and Wakatoshi would move together. Right on the next day they started to look out for a new home, where they would fit in together as three people and would start a new, wonderful chapter of their lifes.

It didn't take long until they found a fitting place, in a nice neighbourhood with many other young families or kind old people, nice little houses with sweet gardens and safe streets. Around the corner was a little kindergarten where Noriyuki would soon go to and just a five minute ride from their place was even a school.

It was the most perfect spot for them.

Wakatoshi had saved up some money, since he earned so well and was able to make a down payment. For further payments they took out a loan and then everything was prepared for their new life chapter.

The couple moved in a couple of weeks later and started to decorate everything after their liking. They painted the walls how they wanted to, bought new furniture and finished renovating their gorgeous house just in time before Noriyuki’s birthday.

While they worked on their house together Wakatoshi’s and Akaashi’s love seemed to light up even stronger. They showered each other with even more affection, sweet surprising kisses and every success they had everyday were very passionately celebrated at night.

They were content and enjoying their fulfilling life.

The three of them soon created an easy routine together. They all got up early in the mornings, ate breakfast and when Wakatoshi left for work Akaashi brought Noriyuki to the kindergarten around the corner. Then he returned home, took care of the household and wrote a little on his new novel. Recently he worked on some children books, which Noriyuki tested and which he hoped he could also publish.

For some reason he needed a change after becoming a mother, and writing lustful romance novels did not interest him enough anymore.

Around lunchtime Wakatoshi picked up Noriyuki from kindergarten and brought him home during his lunchtime, quickly kissed Akaashi and returned to work. Akaashi spend his afternoon with Noriyuki, playing with him, going out with him and making dinner with him, where Wakatoshi would join them again.

It wasn't always exactly like that. On some mornings Wakatoshi would bring Noriyuki to Kindergarten on his way to work, and on some Akaashi picked Noriyuki up alone. But eitherway, their routine worked out wonderfully for them and they enjoyed their life to their fullest.

The time passed and Noriyuki’s third birthday came closer.

Akaashi felt more than excited to plan this birthday, themed in his favorite series that Akaashi allowed him to watch him once a weeks, and to invite his little friends from his kindergarten group. It was his biggest project at the time that he gladly allowed to take up a lot of his time, because he wanted his little angel to have the best birthday ever.

While he was all excited for that, Wakatoshi seemed to be a little.. Off.

First of all he was working a lot more than usual. He took every hour that he could in the hospital, often working the night shifts and returning in the mornings just in time to wish Akaashi and Noriyuki a wonderful day.

And whenever he was home, he was acting a little weird. He hesitated over long times, his eyes resting on Akaashi. Not in an uncomfortable way, his eyes were filled with love whenever he watched him to basic household things. Akaashi enjoyed the attention, but it also made him a little nervous.

Then he was also asking weird, unimportant-seeming questions. For example he kept asking what Akaashi liked to eat. The omega was pretty sure the alpha knew this since the very first time he told him, and Ushijima wasn't someone who ever forget something in his entire life, just like an elephant.

So that he asked over and over again was quite confusing.

Then he also kept touching the dark-haired omega, like hugging him from behind, kissing his head and especially much playing with his hands.

It might have sounded weird, but Wakatoshi seemed to have developed quite an obsession with his hands. He intertwined their finger with each others, held them up in the air and looked at them with a fond expression and covered them in thousands of little butterfly kisses.

It was simply adorable, and Akaashi has rarely felt so deeply loved. Besides the fact that his behavior was a little strange, as when he kept asking for his big goals in life, on which the omega normally answered that he wanted to get married and maybe have more children.

Besides all those listed things, there was one more event that seemed especially off to Akaashi.

Three days before Noriyuki’s birthday, the dark-haired male got a call from Kenjirou, who told him that Ushijima had given him a call.

These words alone had Akaashi’s blood freeze in his veins, before the doctor could continue. He wasn't sure why he reacted with such panic. However, the doctor told his friend that the alpha had called him, to ask for his favorite restaurant, which had Akaashi scowl deeply.

This was as well something Ushijima knew since a very long time. Why would he collect all of those information currently? Was he planning something?

Kenjirou’s first idea was that he might planned a nice date with Akaashi, to celebrate an anniversary or something. After Akaashi was very sure and double checked that there really wasn't an anniversary, Shirabu had the idea that Ushijima was maybe planning to propose.

Only the idea let Akaashi freeze in shock. He ended the call and quickly made himself a coffee to calm down. Was he really going to propose?

Of course the omega would like that. He really really loved Ushijima and to spend the rest of his life sounded incredible perfect. But on the other hand wouldnt this kind of ruin their relationship? Wouldn't this be too soon?

The young mother soon pushed all of those thoughts away from his mind, and decided to refocus on the birthday of his son, since this was actually something he needed to think about since this was something that was actually happening.

Noriyuki’s birthday came around and it was a complete success.

The little boy was grinning all day from the moment Akaashi and Wakatoshi woke him up. They enjoyed a fantastic breakfast, unpacked his little presents and waited until his friends arrived at the afternoon.

The children played all evening all different kinds of games and enjoyed the theme that Akaashi had picked for the party to its fullest. Everything was nicely decorated and the food was ravished until nothing was left but crumbles.

When Akaashi put Noriyuki to bed that night, his little sunshine was more than happy. His cheeks were shining bright red and his eyes where glittering with joy. His whole face must hurt from all the smiling he did that day, and when Akaashi bent down to give him a goodnight kiss, his son wrapped his arms around him and pressed him with his entire strength on him.

It wasn't that much strength but it was still enough to let Akaashi hesitate and hug his little angel back tightly. When Noriyuki started to speak his voice seemed a little tear choked. “Thank you so much Mom, you are the best! The best Mom on the whole world!! I had the best birthday ever!! Ever!!”

The omega couldn't do much more than smiling, because he was left a little speechless. Of course he was glad that his son liked his birthday, and this animated him to work just as hard for his birthday on the next year.

“You are so very welcome my dear” He hummed sweetly in Noriyuki’s ear and placed a gentle kiss on his forehead before he wrapped him back into his blanket and left the room, to join his boyfriend in their bedroom and finish this successful day with a restful sleep.

Two weeks after Noriyuki's birthday, Akaashi finished another manuscript that he sended to his assistant in the early evening. He had been working on the manuscript for quite a while now, and today he finally wanted to finish it.

Wakatoshi wanted to support him in his project, so he took the evening off and went on a playground with Noriyuki, so Keiji had all the silence and focus that he needed, which lead to him finishing his project in the early afternoon.

It was a novel, his biggest project since a few months now where he had mostly just published children books or short stories, since he didn't want to stress himself out with work yet and wanted to keep the focus on being a good mother for now.

That was why it took him so long to finish the novel as more or less a side project, but today he finally finished the last editing and could send it over to his assistant. It was a sweet little love story, about a knight falling in love with a girl he met on the street and when she disappears he spends long weeks to find her, because he never wanted to life without her again even though they barely knew each other.

If Akaashi was being honest he was inspired by his own love life, which was going more than well for him and which was great inspiration to write such an intense and hard-in-love-being story, where the couple obviously ended up together at the end.

The dark-haired male checked the time and decided to drink a coffee while he waited for Ushijima and Noriyuki to return. He raised for the first time after hours from his desk, stretched his stiff limbs and made his way to the kitchen to cook himself a coffee.

The bitter liquid felt wonderful on his dry tongue and warmed his insides while he rested on the couch and read the newspapers. He enjoyed those rare moments of complete silence where he was able to focus just on him and his coffee.

Ushijima returned not even ten minutes later. Akaashi heard his keys turn in the door, down the hallway and got up to greet his boyfriend at the door.

“Hey my love” The alpha’s eyes lid up when they caught sight of Akaashi and he wrapped his arms around him to pull him in for a deep kiss.

When they pulled away, Akaashi was more than surprised to see that Wakatoshi was alone and raised an eyebrow questioning. “Where is Noriyuki?”

The green-haired male got a strange expression on his face that the omega could not read before he answered “I brought him to your parents. I assume you finished your manuscript?” The omega relaxed and nodded with a proud smile “Yes I sended it to my assistant almost an hour ago”

Wakatoshi smiled warmly and pressed a sweet kiss on top of Akaashi’s head “That is wonderful my love, I am so proud on you” Keiji’s cheeks heated up, and he stepped aside to make room for Wakatoshi, so that he was able to undo his shoes and take off his jacket.

But the alpha didn't move at all. Instead he took a nervous glance at his wrist watch. “Actually, I hoped that you would be done by now, because I wanted to take you out. I have a reservation in “the golden sunset” in an hour, so if you want to go you have some time to change and we can have a nice evening out”

The dark-haired male was a little overwhelmed with that information, but nodded anyway “Yes of course! That is very sweet, I will be done in ten”

The alpha nodded and made his way to the living room while the dark-haired omega disappeared in the bathroom, to wash his face and put on some jewerly. Something told him that he needed to dress up especially nicely today, and so he did, not just because of the feeling but as well because Ushijima deserved it that his boyfriend made some effort for him.

Akaashi checked his hair in the mirror, and tried to somehow fix it quickly by putting in some cream and brushing it a little, before he formed his curls again. He knew he couldn't let Ushijima wait for so long, but on the other hand he suddenly felt a lot of pressure on him. He didn't want to look bad.

Five minutes later he decided that it didn't matter and that he was just overreacting and he exited the bathroom. Now he just needed a new outfit. The omega made his way to their shared bedroom and picked sand-colored trousers and a baby-blue turtle neck that he knew brought out the color of his ocean blue eyes perfectly.

He added a nice belt to the pants, his favorite white jacket and shoes with a gentle platou, since he knew that Ushijima loved it when he was a little taller. The omega sprayed a quick splash of perfume on himself and left the bedroom without taking another look in the mirror, simply trusting in himself that he looked good.

“Wakatoshi, dear I’m ready”

The alpha turned his head away from the newspaper, that Akaashi left there before and which he was reading now and smiled dreamily. He raised, took his steps to Akaashi and pulled him back into his arms, placing a quite passionate kiss on his mouth. “You look very exquisite my Love”

The omega tried to fight the blush that was creeping up his cheeks once again and gently leaned into Wakatoshi’s touch, letting his body soak in his warmth. “Thank you my dear~ shall we leave now?”

The alpha nodded, and they made their way to the alpha’s car and started their journey.

The restaurant Ushijima had invited the smaller male to, was his favorite restaurant at all time. “The golden sunset” was a restaurant near the beach, where you had at almost every spot a perfect view on the water, which was nothing but pure medicine for everybodies soul.

It was rather hard to get a reservation here, much harder to just pass by when you wanted to, but the alpha seemed to have mastered to get them a table.

The waitress lead them to a table that was placed next to the windows, and where one could have the previously mentioned soul-warming sea-view. Akaashi was stunned, not just from the view but also from the gorgeous little table with beautiful candles on it where the couple now sat down.

The restaurant was rather full, but it still wasn't noisy or uncomfortable in there. While they waited for the waitress to pick up their orders, Keiji and Wakatoshi chatted a little about their day, the omega about his finished manuscript and the alpha about work and his time with their son on the playground.

Their hands stayed intertwined with each others the whole time, Akaashi’s pale little hand resting in Wakatoshi’s warm palm, his thump rubbing in calm circles on the back of his hand.

They just pulled away when their food arrived and they needed to focus on their meal. Since the restaurant was at the beach it served very good sea food, including the sushi that Akaashi ordered and the fancy dish that he forgot the name of but that included salmon. Wakatoshi went for a steak, with some vegetables as side dish and some fries.

They ate in silence, which was more than needed since the food was so damn good that Akaashi wanted his whole focus to lay on it for now. Everything tasted so juicy, so just perfectly right cooked and like he just entered heaven. He was sure he had never tasted something so delicious before, or have ever felt pleasure like this.

Wakatoshi seemed to enjoy his meal just as much, even though he wasn't as obvious as Akaashi was with it. A glint of pride glittered in his eyes, surel because he secured them a tabe in his place. “How did you get a table here Wakatoshi? Its almost impossible!”

The alpha smiled to himself and took a sip out of his glass before he replied, a mischiefly glitter in his eyes “Well, perhaps I have my contacts that make it easier for me to get what I want. The owner of this place was operated by me a couple of years ago, and he is still very grateful because I saved his life. He offered me thousands of times to come here, and that he would always have a reservation for me and my special someone when I wanted to bring someone, and since you love this place I figured I’d come back on that offer. We deserve a nice evening out”

The omega was stunned to the fullest, but raised his glass with Wakatoshi to cheer on that. The alpha was right, they definitely deserved a nice evening out, and that he had contacts to this place was the luckiest coincidence.

They chatted for a little while, until the waitress came back to take their dirty dishes and to take their orders for desert. Akaashi decided for the well know strawberry cheesecake at this place and Wakatoshi went with a simple mousse au chocolat.

They would have stayed after they ate to enjoy the atmosphere in here a little longer and to have more time together, but the restaurant was filling up with the arriving evening, so they decided to empty their table for new customers. Akaashi quickly left for the bathroom while Ushijima payed and they stepped out a couple of minutes later.

The air was filled with salt air from the sea, and some leftover warmth from the day. The sun was slowly going down, coloring the surrounding in beautiful lights of all colors such as pink, orange and gold.

“It's such a beautiful sunset” Wakatoshi said slowly and looked at his boyfriend “Should we go for a little walk on the beach?” Akaashi loved the idea, and so they started their way over to the beach.

The omega wrapped his arm gently around Ushijima’s and nuzzled his head against his shoulder while he took the whole beauty of this place in.

The sea was calm, just the normal casual moving of the water that reflected the gorgeous sunset and seemed like the water was shining and sparkling like a diamond. The lower the sun sunk the more the pink and orange tones intensified and soon everything in Akaashi’s vision was soaked into this light. It was like a scene straight out of a fairytale.

Ushijima had the idea to go down to the sand and maybe collect some shells or to just listen to the sound of the ocean. Akaashi liked the idea very much and so the went down to the sand, away from the way they followed before.

The dark-haired omega loosened himself from his boyfriend’s side and took a bold step foreward until he stood directly on the water, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

The cold, salty air filled his lungs while his ears filled with the sound of waves and the screams of seagulls. It was beautiful and if it was for Akaashi he could have stayed like this forever.

He felt Ushijima’s gaze linger on him again, like he did so often in the past weeks. It made him open his eyes and turn around to see why his boyfriend wouldn’t follow him to the water. But he could just find him standing there, a gentle smile playing on his lips and a mysterious glint in his eyes.

“It's beautiful isn't it?” Akaashi said softly, his heart now suddenly nervously beating faster.

“It is indeed” The alpha agreed and gently took a step closer to his boyfriend and snaked his arms around his waist. “Just not as beautiful as you”

Akaashi blushed again and wanted to burry his embarrassed face in Wakatoshi’s shoulder, but the other male wasn't done speaking, yet.

“In fact, I have never seen someone so gorgeous in my entire life. Keiji, my love you are the most gorgeous man I have ever seen, and that's what I thought from the very first moment we met in that cafe” Wakatoshi’s forest green eyes sparkled with tenderness as he went on and on.

“You are so strong, and so impressive how you are handling everything. Your job, raising out child, when we moved together and out relationship no matter what happens everyday, you get up and you master literally everything, because there is nothing you can not get of you really want it”

The alpha swallowed nervously and cleared his throat “So I hope that what I am going to ask you, is in fact what you want, because I also know how stubborn you can be when you have your opinion on something.

Keiji my love when we first met, we would probably never guess that we ended up where we are right now. We did everything usual couples do, in the wrong order. Normal couples get to know each other, then date, they move together, they get engaged, marry and then have a child together.

We first had a child, then got to know each other, starting dating and had a home.” Akaashi left out a soft giggle, his eyes filled with tears because he already guessed where this was going.

”What I meant to say is, that we are not a normal couple, we are extraordinary, and I want us to have just an as extraordinary life as our relationship has started. So what I meant to ask;” The alpha took a break and loosened himself from Akaashi, to reach in the pocket of his suit and get down on one knee in front of Akaashi.

“Do you want to have an extraordinary marriage, and marry me?”

The omega couldn't hold back the loud gasp that was coming out of his mouth, when Ushijima kneeled down revealed the ring. The ring was gorgeous, big and very fancy and expansive looking.

He hadn't seen this coming on a long way, like not at all. Of course their relationship was more than just delightful, but there hadn't been any signs?

That was when all pieces clicked into place and Akaashi understood.

All of that staring.

All of that holding and playing with his hands to figure out his ring size.

The call to Kenjirou to ask for his favorite restaurant so he could make a reservation.

All of the random questions asking.

All of the strange behavior and reassurance that they wanted the same for the future so Wakatoshi wouldn't trap him into marriage or bring him in the uncomfortable position to say no.

And as if Akaashi would ever say no, to this wonderful and simply perfect man.

Under tears, the omega nodded and managed a weak “Yes” Before he fell into Ushijima’s arms. The alpha let out a deep sigh of relief, that he got the answer that he was hoping to get and wrapped his arms tightly around his fiance, showering him with kisses.

They parted again and Ushijima slid the shining diamond ring on Akaashi’s ring finger, his hand trembling gently with excitement. When Akaashi risked a gaze in his boyfriends face he spotted tears in his eyes.

They connected in another kiss, their first kiss as an engaged couple.

Only knowing this let Akaashi feel exploding butterflies in his stomach, which were just as strong as the butterflies he felt during their first time confessing their feelings to each other.

The two males pulled away a little later and walked back to their car, as they watched the sun slowly disappearing on the horizont and the sky turning dark around them.

Their hands stayed intertwined the whole time, and Akaashi carefully nuzzled into his (now fiancé’s) side, craving the body contact and the close presence of his partner. Everything felt dreamy, like they were walking on clouds and entering heaven, where just the two of them existed, and no other human being around them had any meaning anymore.

As dreamy and infinite their walk back to the car seemed to be, they still arrived there a little later and got on their way back home. The dark-haired omega’s gaze fell back on his hand where his beautiful new ring let his hand shimmer.

This very moment hit him the thought, that he immediately had to tell his best friend about this, because he was sure Kenjirou would be more than just his usual pissed, if he found out just tomorrow about his engagement.

Keiji started to search through his bag to find his phone, and to call the hazel-haired doctor the very moment he found it. It only rang 4 times before Kenjirou picked up, and this time to Akaashi’s relief apparently not at Semi’s but still at work. “Hello Keiji, what’s up?”

The omega couldn't fight the smile that fought its way on his face “Oh nothing much I just wanted to quickly tell you something” He waited a moment, to built up some more tension and threw a quick gaze over to Wakatoshi, that made him smile even harder. “Wakatoshi and I are engaged now”

On the other side of the line was a loud gasp from the doctor followed by a long moment of silence in which Akaashi was already convinced that the doctor had hung up on him before Kenjirou found his voice back “Omg Keiji!! Congratulations!! I am so happy for you omg how did that come? Tell me every detail!!”

Wakatoshi risked a quick gaze over to his fiancé, startled by the loud gasp and screams coming from Akaashi’s phone, which added to the dark-locked’s dorky smile a dark red blush note and placed a calming hand on his lap. “I will tell you everything, but maybe not now? We are almost back home and you know-”

“Need some time alone? To celebrate your new relationship status with some bed time? Alright alright, but let's meet up tomorrow for lunch then? I need to know the whole story, omg Keiji that is so fucking awesome”

“Yes ofc we can meet up tomorrow for lunch, I will come to your clinic then” Akaashi only managed to say, too embarrassed from his friends words which he knew his fiancé heard, due to his very good ears and hung up on his friend, planning to talk with him about further details via text before he could embarrass him further.

“I must excuse for him” The omega slowly started, but Wakatoshi interrupted him right there with a smile playing on his lips “Oh don’t excuse for him, my love. I’m glad that you have friends that celebrate with you. Besides, Noriyki is still at your parents, and since I hoped the evening would go how it did, he can stay there tonight and we can have some time alone if you know what I mean”

Of course Akaashi knew. Of course he would never say no to such offer.

And of course, they did in fact celebrate their engagement with a long night of very passionate sex.

Their wedding took place a week after Noriyuki’s 4th birthday.

The couple had very long and very intensively debated about when they should pick a date. They were both aware that they needed a long time of planning, to safe up some money, write invitations and book locations and all of that. But their most important point, as they picked the date was that it would crash with Noriyuki’s birthday.

Nor should it be short before it, that all the planning would overshadow the birthday or that even worse the honeymoon would fall on the day so that the little boy would have to spend his birthday without both of his parents.

Neither did they want to leave just a day after his birthday, so he felt more stressed than like he was actually enjoying his birthday, and so they picked a date 9 days after their sons birthday, followed by a 3 week honeymoon where Noriyuki stayed with his grandparents or with Kenjirou.

The ceremony was held in a small, open hall near the beach. The room was very airy and had enough space fo all their friends and family members they wanted to attend without that it got uncomfortable, and thanks to the glassed wall toward the beach a gorgeous view on the waves.

Akaashi picked a white jumpsuit, where the top was entirely made out of a lace fabric with wide, airy sleeves and long wide legs. He paired it up with something similar to pumps and a nice veil, because even though he wasn't a traditional bride he was definitely not like a usual manly male and wanted to wear the a little feminine outfit of his dreams.

(For what Kenjirou gave him the confidence, because otherwise he would have never wore it)

Speaking of Kenjirou, who was his bridesmaid or best man, however you wanted to see that was now standing next to the dark-haired male and followed his gaze in the mirror they stood in front of. “I see your doubts. You look stunning Keiji, there are no needs to be shy”

The omega carefully bit his lip “Maybe the make-up was too much?”

“Nonsense, that little bit of highlighter and glitter. No ones gonna notice, beside your groom, who will be the only one standing close enough to you to see it” The doctor stuffed the make-up back in his brought make-up bags and quickly checked his wrist watch. “It’s time for us to go, except if you want to drive your fiancé crazy because you let him wait”

“Totally not!” The omega yelped out and quickly stepped toward the door, waving for Noriyuki, who was sitting on a chair in a corner, waiting for Akaashi to get ready “Are you coming my dear?”

“Yes Mummy” The little boy got up, carefully pulled on the jacket of his little suit in which he simply looked adorable, and took Akaashi’s hand “You look super pretty Mummy. Daddys gonna fall in love with you again”

“Totally agree” Kenjirou added and smirked as he watched his best friend blush as hell.

The three males made their way toward the hall, Akaashi and Kenjirou waiting a little longer since Noriyuki had to go first and spread the flowers on the aisle since the little boy was promoted to be flower boy on this wedding.

Akaashi suddenly felt his chest tighten and gasped loudly for air, desperately trying to catch his breath. Gosh he was so nervous. Not because he doubted his choice, he knew he loved Wakatoshi and that the alpha loved him just the same and that they would be the happiest married couple ever and have the most perfect marriage.

And yet he was still nervous.

Shirabu watched his friend with his typical raised eyebrow, with that he was usually judging everything around him and offered Akaashi a little thing that he pulled from the inside of his jacket. “You need a drink?”

“You seriously brought a flask to my wedding?” The omega asked indignantly, even though this was funny enough to steal a little laugh from him, and relieve some tension from him. This was exactly why Kenjirou was perfect for this job.

The doctor seemed a little irritated and stuffed the flash back in his suit “It was just an idea okay, calm down” Then he wrapped his arms around Akaashi and gentle pressed his best friend on himself. “I was just kidding. Keiji, babe you look fantastic and your fiancé is so going to agree with me. Get in there now and marry your hell of an attractive husband and enjoy your beautiful aesthetic wedding that you dreamed of so much.”

Kenjirou was right, and Akaashi knew that. Still hearing it from him again made him really happy and gave him the security he needed before they finally entered the hall where Kenjirou quickly left him to his father and hushed to his spot at the altar.

Everyone raised when Akaashi and his father slowly walked down the aisle, all eyes fixed on Akaashi and here and there letting out some “Oh”s, or “Ah”s or other enchanted noises. But Akaashi was only looking at one person.

Wakatoshi had already taken his place at the altar, next to his brother who was his best man and looked too fine in his suit. It wasn't the first time Akaashi saw his partner in a suit, but still knowing he wore it today to make this deep bond of love, marriage, with him gave him the shivers.

The alpha’s eyes mirrored the feelings that exploded in Akaashi’s inside, tender forest green full of love and admiration.

Akaashi and his father arrived at the altar, where Mr. Akaashi took a moment to look at his sons eyes and give him a kiss on the cheek before he delivered him to his husband, who gladly took him by his hands.

“You look absolutely gorgeous, my love. Just like an angel. I can’t believe my luck” Ushijima whispered in the smaller’s ear, with a husky voice that gave the omeg a goosebump. “Thank you, but be careful that my fiancé isn't seeing us. He is really handsome you know, and very strong”

Wakatoshi managed a wide smirk by his loves little joke, before they were interrupted by the priest and had to stand up straight again.

“Ladies and gentleman, family and friends, today we arrived at this place to watch these two souls connect, and accept the holy bond of marriage in front of us, and god. If everyone may sit down, while we hear the vows”

Everyone sat down, and Akaashi took a quick moment to look around. There were obviously Kenjirou and Wakatoshi’s brother as their best men, Akaashi’s parents, Wakatoshi’s parents, his sister and his grandfather. Then Koushi and his husband, with their little daughter and some friends of Wakatoshi that Akaashi had met once or twice, and Semi, who had come as Kenjirou’s plus one.

Given this information Akaashi really had to take his friend aside and ask him what was actually going on between the two of them and where they stood with their relationship.

The omega returned his attention to the priest, who looked from the bride to the groom and back “I assume you have prepared your own vows?”

They nodded, and the priest seemed pleased “Wakatoshi, would you like to start?”

The alpha agreed, and cleared his throat before he locked his eyes again with Akaashi. “Keiji, as you know I am a man of science and of logic. As a child already, I had my whole life planned through, and was never a fan of surprised. I had a secure plan that I strictly followed, and I promised myself I would never let anything come between me and my plan. Until I met you.

I couldn't even do something about it. You entered my life as a big coincidence, and before I even realized it you stole my heart. I had no right to say something in that situation, and usually I wouldn't have welcomed this just as much. But you were the best surprise life could ever have for me, and I would do everything exactly like that again, if that meant I would meet you.

Keiji my love, you have brought the real colors in my life, and that even though I didn't realize they were missing before. And then, from one day to the other, you were missing everywhere and every second I wasn't spending with you. I can not wait to spend the rest of our lifes with you, and enjoy every little color you can offer to me” Wakatoshi ended, and swallowed hard against his tears.

This was the very moment, the little omega fell all over for the wonderful man in front of him again. His eyes filled with tears, and it took his whole self control not to start crying like a baby now.

Wakatoshi noticed, and carefully rubbed a thump over the smaller’s hand. “Keiji, did you as well prepare your own vows?” The priest now turned his head to Akaashi, who roughly nodded his head unable to speak yet. “Of couse, just a second” The priest nodded, and a couple of seconds Akaashi was ready.

“Wakatoshi, when we first met I knew fate had brought us together. You suddenly appeared, ready to fulfill me a long year dream, of a family. At that point I didn't know, that our relationship would develop in the way it did in the end. You had your life and I had mine, and they didn't seem like they would have to fuze.

Yet they did, and in danger I repeat myself this isn't just a coincidence, but long planned fate. I had no other choice, than falling in love with all of you, with the man that you are. Besides a handsome face and a strong body, I fell mostly for your characteristics. For your hugs, that are always warm and offering a comfort that no one else could ever give me. For your tenderness, and the way you make me feel special an dear to you, everyday that we spend together.

Your huge support, no matter with what I needed you, you would be there without any doubt and support me with everything you had. That means real strength, not like you didn't have the other way of strength as well” The crowds quietly chuckled, and so did Akaashi and Wakatoshi, without ever breaking the eye contact.

“And the best is, that you have given me your strength. Strenght, to be a good mother to our wonderful child. Strength, to confess my feelings for you, and wait for you, so, so torturously long, even though every minute was wait the suffering. You have given me the strength to fight for you, for us and this relationship, and if it haven't been for this strength we might have never ended up here today, or ever. I hope I can prove myself worthy of that love and strength that you give me unconditionally, and even if I can not promise to do that today or tomorrow, I am very happy to know I will have infinities time to proof myself to you”

One single tear slipped Wakatoshi’s eyes, and given the normally so controlled man that he was, this was more meaningful than every hysterical outburst from someone else.

After a short moment to calm down, the priest continued with the ceremony.

“We have heard the vows, and may your spoken words only be the truths. Please repeat after me, Keiji: Do you promise to love this man till the day you die? Are you going to stay loyal to him, in sickness and in health, in poverty and in wealth just as in good and in bad times? Will you always love him, for the man that he is and not try to change him, and support him with every life goal that he wants to accomplish? As well ready to overcome difficulties together, until death tears you apart?”

Akaashi’s voice was shaking as he repeated after the priest, tears collecting in his eyes “I promise to love you, till the day I die. I promise to stay loyal to you, in sickness and health, in poverty, and in wealth just as in good and in bad times. I will always love you for the wonderful man that you are, and never try to change you, and support you in every lifegoal you want to achieve. I am ready to overcome every difficulty that life could have for us together, until death tears us apart as long as I can stay with you”

The omega sobbed, and Wakatoshi carefully cupped his face to give him a feeling of comfort.

When the omega had collected himself again and they were able to continue, where also some tears glittering in the alphas eyes as he repeated after the priest. “I promise to love you, till the day I die. I promise to stay loyal to you, in sickness and health, in poverty, and in wealth just as in good and in bad times. I will always love you for the man that you are, and never try to change you, and support you in every lifegoal you want to achieve, because for me I already archived everything I could ever want with you and our wonderful son, and could never aks for anything more. I am ready to overcome every difficulty that life could have for us together, until death tears us apart”

One might think, that these words meant less coming from someone that was already married like Wakatoshi and didn't hold the promise. But Akaashi knew every word was coming honest from the deep depths of the alpha’s soul, and that he would rather die than making the same mistake as he did with Tendou twice.

They exchanged the rings and finally the priest came to an end with the words “I now announce you husband and wife. You may kiss the omega now”

Wakaoshi didnt hesitate just a second before he pulled Akaashi, now as well Ushijima close and gave him a big, passionate kiss, that the omega tried desperately to return, but couldn’t from half crying, and half laughing, laughing from incredible joy and happiness streaming through his body.

His husband swept him off the floor, and carried Akaashi through the cheering crowd of their beloveds in bridal style out of the church and to their cars where they made their way to their party location.

The after party was almost as beautiful as the ceremony itself. There was a lot of laughing, drinking, eating and dancing. Keiji danced wit his father, with Kenjirou, with Wakatoshi’s brother, his son and of course a lot with his husband.

Wakatoshi Ushijima, his husband.

Himself, Keiji Ushijima. Married, to a wonderful man with a beautiful son.

He still couldn't even believe it. His whole life, he had been dreaming about all of this. And just 5 years ago, all of this seemed way to far away to ever be reached, yeah not to say impossible for him to reach.

But tonight he was sleeping next to, nah WITH his husband, that loved him so deeply, and so unconditionally like he was not just his god, but his religion, not just his home but his whole world, and not just his world but his whole sunsystem and his whole universe.

The day after, they started early with only three hours of sleep into their honeymoon. They had decided for a mixed honeymoon, the first one and a half weeks only chilling in a hotel and at the beach, loving each other and resting from all the exhausting planning and stressy event, and the rest of their honeymoon hiking through Italy's beautiful mountains.

Tomorrow, they would change their location, to their second hotel and start their hiking days, so today the couple spend another, hot day laying around on the beach, swimming, cuddling, making out in the sand and chilling in the sun.

Where Keiji didn’t really have much success staying in the sun all the time because no matter what he did he just couldn’t tan at all. But, he had in fact noticed some freckles appearing, like little stars on his cheeks, his shoulders and his collarbone.

He wasn't the only one noticing them though. Wakatoshi had as well noticed them, and he loved tracing them with sweet kisses, before he ravished his husband the whole night.

Or for breakfast.

Speaking of him, Wakatoshi just decided that he was done with swimming for now and came now back running toward Keiji in a calm pace. He did tan, but jesus in such a good way.

His whole body was covered with sexy, deep brown skin like caramel, and when the omega watched his husband walk out of the water, shake his wet hair and run over to him with waterdops glittering on his upper body in the sun like thousands of diamonds he could definitely imagine coming out of this honeymoon, pregnant again.

It was strange, thinking that a baby was the reason they even met in the first place. An arrangement, for two people unable to have a family and which ended, when even on many detours, up as a happy family.

Keiji smiled once again, his cheeks hurting since their wedding day nonstop from all the smiling and decided that today, it was enough with his nostalgia. He got up from his spot in the sand, stretched his tired limps and ran toward his husband, but not like Wakatoshi in a slow calm pace, no Keiji ran like his dear life depended on it.

He reached the alpha and jumped into his strong arms, knowing that he would be safely caught and got swirled around in the air, like a sweet disney princess in the end of a disney movie from their prince. Wakatoshi showered Akaashi with many little butterfly kissed, over his whole face, neck and chest and the dark-haired omega knew, he was never as happy as he was exactly in this moment.

The end.
