Chapter Text

Tighnari nervously tipped a pen on his calendar paper and studied the date. It was obvious that mating season was coming soon.
Once again, a year has passed and Tighnari hasn't found a partner or someone he could be interested in. Certainly not someone of his own type. Valuka Shuna.

Every year, he recalls how he was starving and prepared to accept what he was destined to receive. Hungry to be bred by his Alpha. Tighnari always suffers in his hidden lair for two months because he is alone and doesn't want any random Alphas to
approach him in this state.

All he could think about during this time was Cyno. Cyno laughing, Cyno telling one of his stupid and not funny jokes, his hands, his strong arms, his body... the lips he wanted to kiss so badly.

Tighnari buried his hands in his hair, thinking about this moron of a general. They had been best friends since they were in the academy, and he couldn't possibly think this about him, could he?

It wasn't the first time he'd been caught off guard, especially because Cyno is human and had no idea about the fennec foxes.

Tighnari still had time to prepare everything, informing his friends that he needed to go on a
rainforest trip and wouldn't be back until March.

Tighnari couldn't stand the heat, even though Valuka Shuna are originally from the desert, it was certainly easier to find a mate there than in Avidya Forest, where he normally goes to hide during his heat.

Even if she was worried, Collei understood and took his position. But Cyno always asks and wants to accompany him. Tighnari wished for nothing more, but it was impossible.

-

When the time was right, Tighnari told Collei everything she needed to know and advised her to call Cyno if she needed assistance. Of course, it was clear that Tighnari didn't only plan two months of simple exploration, but nobody mentioned it. While checking on them, Cyno cast a doubtful glance at his best friend.

"Are you certain you want to go by yourself? With these Fatui in the area, the forest isn't as safe as it once was. "Moreover, if no one intervenes, I believe you will overwork yourself", Cyno said, crossing his arms, more concerned than ever. He was aware that something was strange, and if General Mahamatra weren't so busy, he would have followed him.
"Cyno, I'm not a kid anymore. And thanks for the worries; I can take care of myself," he said. "Don't overthink this, I simply conduct this casual study each year. Remember?"

Despite Collei's interest in speaking up, not even Cyno had any chance of convincing their friend.
"I still don't know why you have to handle this by yourself. No one, not even me, is permitted to get in touch with you", Cyno said, and Tighnari almost detected resentment in his voice.
"I have a patient; I'll leave for now", Collei said. In order to avoid upsetting them both, Collei sensed something was going on and left them alone at Tighnari's house.
Tighnari sighed, "Geez." as he started to prepare some ingredients he wanted to bring with him. Something that might help with the heat, perhaps. "If you really want, I'm sure you'll find me, no matter what. But if it's not important, I dare you to give it a shot."
It's the only thing he never told Cyno, and he has plenty of justifications to do so, but how long will they hold up?

"Tighnari", Cyno started saying, reaching for his arm. When Tighnari turned, he was met by the serious gaze of eyes that were a deep red. The well-known heat that suddenly runs through Tighnari's body causes him to instantly freeze. He assumed he still had a few days left, right? However, Cyno's warm hand on his exposed skin feels like everything he could have ever wished for. Such a pure gesture without any ulterior motive... Perhaps the foxkin had been pining after the Mahamatra for too long. "This time, I won't let you go."

Cyno knew about strange incidents in Sumeru, most likely in and around Avidya Forest. Due to the sudden closeness and words that cut right to his heart, Tighnari was unable to respond.

He must go now. Now.

Tighnari finally uttered the word "impossible" after being released from Cynos' hold. He continued, "You know how important it is," but Cyno cut him off with a deep voice. When they were alone, the general rarely took this much seriousness. "I don't want any rejection. It's far too risky. I'm confident in your ability to care for yourself and defend yourself, but not this time. Believe me, if I let you go, I wouldn't forgive myself.”

Tighnari faced a challenge. He could not possibly stay here or with Cyno while he was in heat. People would know. Cyno would know.

They were constantly overly concerned for one another, and Tighnari cherished Cynos' doubts, but he wouldn't be himself when he was in heat. He was gladly not an aggressive beast as Omega, but when his longing for Cyno grew, he was unable to control himself any longer.

Tighnari knew that Cyno would understand this if he explained it to him, but it still made him feel guilty. He wished there was a way to control his desires and be with Cyno without losing himself to his instincts.

Although Tighnari despises lying, what else should he say? “I would probably want you to fuck my brains out, so I'm sorry, Cyno"? Tighnari, ironically, had always taken great pride in his self-control and discipline. But with Cyno, it was like all of that went out the window. Despite his best efforts, he was powerless to resist him. When did it actually begin? He must have already had a crush on Cyno at the academy. But as he grew older, he became more aware that there was more to the relationship than just friendship, at least for Tighnari.

Tighnari sighed, "Okay." There was still a chance that he would benefit from this new elexier and experience temporary relief from the heat. He had to stay away from Cyno and make sure he was alone at night if he wasn't allowed to be alone for the next two months. If he had a partner or someone else with whom he could share his never-ending desire to mate, it would be so much simpler. On the other hand, he was not currently permitted to have kits. He wanted to be a good mother, whether it was soon or later, because there was no time or place for them.

Cynos nodded, no longer tense and serious as if Tighnari had actually been in danger. A small smile could be seen on his lips.

Tighnari cocked his head and said, "Tell me one, Cyno. What are these incidents that are taking place in my forest that you're talking about?"
"Nari, I'd love to tell you something." Cyno moved toward Tighnari while temporarily turning his gaze elsewhere. "But if I do, the Acting Grand Sage will kill me."
"Alhaitham?"
"You know him; you should avoid upsetting him with this kind of thing", Cyno shrugged, reaching for Tighnaris hand this time.

Tighnari lowered his head this time to hide a slight blush on his cheeks. "This wasn't the best time to be so touchy, Cyno", thought Tighnari, almost forgetting his actual question. But instead of thinking about this, he avoided the Mahamatra again and nervously collected the stuff he needed for the potion.

He turned his head a bit to see Cyno, kind of disappointed that Tighnari avoided his touch again.

"Are you staying tonight?", Tighnari asked hesitantly. "Collei would be happy about it, and I could make some of your favorite food." To distract himself, Tighnari needed to change the subject immediately.

Despite this, Cyno grinned and said, "I'm free tonight." After convincing Tighnari to stay at home, it was his responsibility to not overthink anything this time, but he was confident they would talk about it later again.

Chapter Text

Tighnari prepared dinner for Collei, Cyno, and himself and kicked Cyno out of the kitchen because he wasn't in the mood for jokes. The Mahamatra didn't like being asked to leave the room, so he decided to pass the time by playing TCG with Collei. Cyno couldn't help but make a few comments about the game and talk with Collei about their well-being as they played.

Tighnari made the potion he intended to use later rather than just cooking the ingredients for their dinner. He added some special mushrooms to it and then said to himself, "Oh, dear Archon, I hope you work whenever Cyno is close." Last year, he discovered the mushrooms in the forest and experienced some relief in between the heat intervals.

Not long after, Tighnari became almost furious at the sound of the ticking clock and wondered what had caused this sudden tension. This would normally be the first sign of his heat, but Tighnari double-checked after Cyno left the kitchen. The only thing that helped was that Cyno was a human and wouldn't be able to smell an Omega's unique scent in heat. He still had one week left. The disadvantage was that he would be in danger whenever an Alpha was nearby.

"Food's ready," Tighnari called from the kitchen, and he returned with a plate of Cynos' special dish, Duel Soul. Perhaps he went too far and shaped it like a pyramid, as Cyno knew it. Collei chuckled knowingly, put away the cards, and set the table. They hadn't eaten together in a long time. Even though her 'parents' were unaware of their feelings for each other, it felt almost like a family reunion to her..

"If I could, I'd marry you," Cyno jokingly said. Tighnari was lucky that Cyno didn't focus on him but on the food, because he blushed and had to leave the room again. He quickly ran back into the kitchen to get some fresh water for his face, exclaiming, "I forgot something."
"Damn," he moaned as he touched his neck. "It's too early; please stop."

-

They ate dinner while Cyno told some of his stupid jokes, but Tighnari lost interest in them after a while and was unable to eat much. He forced himself to stare at his plate, hoping the evening would end soon and he could go to bed.
The general had no choice but to sleep on the couch tonight, and Tighnari couldn't help but feel guilty for not offering the general his bed, as he always did. His bed was large enough and Cyno fell asleep quickly enough that it never bothered him. He made a mental note to get another bed for this as he excused himself from the table. After helping to clean the table, Collei bid Cyno and Tighnari good night and reminded them to meet the following morning.

"Nari? Are you okay?" Cyno asked when they were finally alone. As he stood in the doorframe, he crossed his arms. "You seemed distracted at dinner and didn't eat much. You didn't even scold me for my puns!"
Tighnari sighed and shook his head. "I'm just tired, Cyno. It's been a long day." He gave him a small smile before retiring to the kitchen, hoping to sleep later without thinking about Cyno.

Cyno followed him, worry clearly visible on his face. "You know that you can talk to me about anything."
Before making tea for the evening, Tighnari hesitated for a brief moment. "I know, Cyno." The foxkin smiled and inhaled deeply. He bit his lips, touched his neck once more, and rubbed it. This was a habit he started during his heats, not realizing that he was only spreading his scent in that way. "I promise to come to you if I need to talk. I just need some rest and to reschedule my research right now. Thank you for your concern." Tighnari gave Cyno a cup of tea while nodding.
"Whenever you're ready, I'll be here." Cyno took a sip of the warm tea and let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Nari."

Tighnari only smiled and added some of the early-made potion to his own tea. "Is it okay if you sleep on the couch tonight?"
Cyno looked at Tighnari as he drank from the cup, appearing confused at this strange question. He never imagined Tighnari would mind if he shared a bed with him, and he enjoyed their cozy nights together, listening to Tighnari's peaceful breathing as he dozed off.

"Even the floor would be fine for me", Cyno replied, smiling. Tighnari shook his head. "Don’t you dare! The couch is big enough for you, even for both of us! And no, I’m not annoyed by you if you think this would be the reason."
The Mahamatra chuckled while blinking at the other one. "Nari, you can't try to hide anything from me. I already know that something is wrong, but I'll hold off on learning more until you tell me. I don’t think that I did something wrong… at least not tonight."

If this continues, they will discuss something that was never really a problem in the first place, and Cyno preferred to spend time with Tighnari rather than fight with him. He had to go during lunchtime tomorrow, so he ignored Tighnari's avoidance and pulled him by the arm into the living room to sit on the couch.

"I'm not tired, and it's far too early for me to sleep. Would you like to play some TGC?" Cyno asked and moved away from the couch to give Tighnari more room. As he was being led out of the kitchen, Tighnari looked at him, perplexed, and almost spit out the tea mixed with potion. "Cyno," he said, overwhelmed. "I-" The Foxkin wanted to continue, but Cyno seemed to realize this was a stupid question. "Ignore it! You are the one who is tired...", Cyno said, putting his hand to his chin and thinking. He didn't want to force him to stay awake, but he did want to take his attention away from whatever was wrong.

Tighnari burst out laughing for the first time that evening, Cyno tried so hard to look like he had been thinking about how they could spend their rare time together. The Mahamatra looked at his best friend who was wiping away tears from laughing, and felt another warm feeling in his chest.
Tighnaris' body reacted strongly, believing the potion had failed completely. He couldn't believe how badly he wanted to be close to Cyno, to kiss and touch him. The longer he stared at the thinking Mahamatra, the hotter his face became, and his mind almost wandered off somewhere it didn't belong. Tighnari wanted him so much.

"Hah!" shouted Cyno, who appeared perplexed at first. He had no idea what he had done, but he enjoyed hearing Tighnari chuckle. The foxkin's eyes widened as he looked confused at his friend. "Nari, don't stop laughing! It suits you better than your curious appearance," Cyno stated, smiling. Words that made Tighnari's heart flatter, forcing him to clear his throat and hide his flushed cheeks.
"But in all seriousness, Cyno... I'm going to bed. I'm sorry, but I'm exhausted. Let's talk tomorrow, okay?" Tighnari would like to talk to the Mahamatra more, but his body has decided to rebel. His bed was the one place he could hide without anyone seeing he was in heat, which was probably how he could get rid of the swelling boner. "Sleep well!", Cyno replied with a smile, understanding the exhaustion in Tighnari's voice.

Tighnari's bed was incredibly comfortable, and being on the other side of the wall meant he wasn't too close to Cyno in the living room. He had changed into something much cozier, putting on a floor-length cotton robe. Even though it had only been a few minutes, he missed Cynos' scent. The other one just had to get close to him, didn't he? This wasn't the first time he had this thinking about his friend during his heats. He whined as embarrassing thoughts filled his head, he tugged his ears down and around his hot cheeks. He knew it was useless to think of Cyno in that way, but he couldn't stop himself. He wished he could simply forget about his friend and focus on finding a mate.

His heat was getting worse by the minute, with dirty thoughts consuming his mind. He gasped loudly, which he shouldn't have done if he intended to keep this a secret. Tighnari pulled the covers around him and melted into the sheets, becoming increasingly helpless. "Hahh..." His breath became more feverish, and his face grew even more red. He attempted to divert his attention by imagining something else, but the images in his thoughts were too vivid. Tighnari knew he needed to gain control of his thoughts before they entirely overwhelmed him.

Chapter Text

Cyno was fully awake in the living room, laying on the sofa, staring at the ceiling and wondering what was wrong with Tighnari. He sensed something wasn't right and he was concerned for him. Was he ill? Is something going on? Did Cyno go too far this time with his jokes? He couldn't make heads or tails of it.
Cyno sat up straight on the cozy sofa and stared at the door where Tighnari had just left. He was certain he heard something but had no idea where it was coming from... a grunt, whining, and most likely suffering noises?
"Tighnari!" Cyno jumped to his feet and followed the noises towards Tighnari's bedroom. As he approached the door, the noises grew louder and more urgent. Cyno's heart raced with worry as he wondered what could be causing Tighnari such distress.

Only the moonlight filled the room with a soft light, and only the curve of Tighnari's ears could be seen.
"Nari?" he worriedly said as he moved closer. "Are you feeling okay?" He would have been ashamed and turned to leave if he had known what was going on.

"Ah... so you did follow me..." moaned Tighnari as he curled away from the Mahamatra. "I said I was okay. You should get back to sleep. I thought I told you not to worry." He held his head in his hands, his scent stimulating his heat obviously. "Get the hell out!" As his senses began to fade, Tighnari couldn't help but shout. Some toys were needed or anything else he could use to get rid of the burning sensation in his abdomen. Everything except Cyno!
“You should know me by now. Yes, I did, and I heard you whining... you're in pain." Cyno wanted to stay and help Tighnari, but the minute he shouted at him, he looked confused and overwhelmed. He didn't notice anything as a human, not even a difference in scent.

“Obviously… I am. And if you don't go, you're worsening the situation!" Tighnari wished he could crawl inside the sheets and disappear. Anything to avoid having to tell Cyno the truth.
"I'm not leaving," the Mahamatra said, testing Tighnari's patience.
"Just fucking leave my room!" Tighnari got louder and bit his lower lip. "I'm in heat! Get out of here, you idiot!" There was no other option; he had lost control.

“Heat?” Cyno wondered and briefly closed his eyes. He had a vague idea what it was but no prior experience. "You never told me! But why am I making it... oh." It took him some time to realize this. "Don't you have anyone with whom you could mate?" He didn't back down and got closer to him, reaching out for his arm and forcing him to look at him.
"Cyno, for the love of Archons! Can we discuss this later? It's so hot right now... Hng.” He couldn't even form a proper response, so he gripped the blankets around him and yelled. Cynos' scent did help him to calm down greatly, so he pulled on that arm and buried his face in the Mahamatras chest. It was relieving but it wouldn’t hold him off forever.
"If you insist on staying, I'll put you to better use than just staying there looking dumb." Normally, he would not have had the guts to do this, but given the situation and his different mindset, he did. This one was especially painful, and he had no idea why. It hit him harder and stinged longer, possibly because the object of his affection was the man in front of him. Everything was a terrible timing, but Tighnari knew that if Cyno didn't like it, he'd throw him off immediately. From their previous flat position, his ears perked up automatically, attentive to anything happening outside of his house. He wouldn’t want another lone Omega or Alpha strolling around now.

There was no reason to continue talking, especially now that he had Tighnari in his arms. He drew him in closer and felt the heat directly now, feeling turned on just by this. "I didn't intend to just stand there and watch, Nari," he said, ruffling Tighnari's ears with his hand. The choice was made quickly. Cyno liked Tighnari for years but had never expected anything like this to happen. Any feelings he had for the foxkin were brushed aside because of their close friendship. But having him so close now only confirmed that he had been lying to himself for years. It didn't take him long to crawl in the bed, his finger reaching under Tighnaris' chin, lifting his head this way to get a better look at his highly heated face. "You can use me for whatever you want and need," he said as his other hand reached under the tail and placed it on his ass to draw him closer.

Tighnari relaxed for a moment, but he gulped because his hand was dangerously low. "And do you understand what a heat is, Cyno? This is not the time for games. You don't realize how far you're going to go to help me. For someone like me, a heat is essentially mating. I don't want to put you through something like that. If you decide against it because it's draining, I can handle it myself or on rare occasions find someone else." He nuzzled beneath his hand and pressed his body flat against the Matra's.
"I don't mind games, but do you really think I would be playing right now?" It hurt him to hear Tighnari would also look for someone else, and the mere thought made Cyno furious. He didn't want anyone to come near him. Never. "I... know a little bit about it, and I know what can and will happen... so you won't force me to stay if I stay of my own free will, right?"

If Cyno bothered to look into it later, he would have a clear understanding of how intimate being invited into an omega's nest during his heat was. Because he was forced to stay here, the bed had become his nest. Tighnari slid a corner of his robe off, revealing his slender shoulder as he sat up, grinding against Cyno's thigh. Eventually, he would need to use some toys since the General Mahamatra probably would not be eager to please him for literal mating.
Cyno moaned as he realized Tighnari was even closer to him, above him, and not as shy as he remembered. "N-Nari..." he groaned, putting his hand on the exposed shoulder, exploring the soft skin before shoving the rest of the fabric off him. Why was he so beautiful? It wasn't just Tighnari who had some needs; it didn't take long for his pants to become far too tight. "I... want this," he admitted, finally pulling him down into a kiss while his hands worked off the rest of the annoying fabric. "And I don't want anyone else... to see you this way."

Tighnari shivered as his lips were locked into Cyno's, their breaths mingling. Because he was only wearing the robe, it didn't take long for the fabric to fall and expose everything. It felt humiliating to be so openly exposed in front of his friend.
"You do want this? Friends with benefits?" He asked meekly, still gaining friction from his thigh, his hole aching to be filled.
"I'll take the whole thing, Nari. I like you, and I don't want to do this just because you need it now." He was a little reserved because it was his first time, and he wasn't sure what to do first. Tighnari suffered.

"Ah... things are getting worse... I need to get some of my toys," he tried to pull away, finding his vibrator to shove in and hoping it would be enough. However, most of the time, it was not.
Cyno finally forced his shyness aside and pushed Tighnari onto the bed, stopping him to look for his things. His own cheeks were burning, so he ripped away the last fabric, revealing his twitching erection. He licked his lips and swallowed. "I... I will do my best...," he moaned, lowering his head to take him in his mouth and searching for the entrance with his fingers. "I don't want to hurt you," he said softly against the hard flesh.
"You... I can't believe you're confessing when I'm in heat!" Tighnari panted and grabbed his shoulders. "Ahh... there's no need to hold back. Hurry! And… you should confess more romantically after this!"
Cyno found what he was looking for after a moment of searching and dipped in with two of his fingertips, while Tighnari wasn't sure which way to rock his body, but he did moan into the pleasure, crying out as the fingers plunged in. "You won't be able to hurt me." His lustful eyes glazed over, and his grip tightened. As Cyno’s warm mouth enveloped his penis, pre-cum was already leaking out.

Not long after that, the General undressed and his erection grew stronger as he gazed at Tighnari. "I hope I can at least ease your pain," he said. His attention floated around the room, looking for something he could use as lube. "Take... this," Tighnari replied, knowing exactly what Cyno was looking for as he searched through his nightstand for the lube. He was silently watching him use the grease, his breath sucked in, waiting.
"I'm gonna make you mine," he said, adjusting Tighnaris' body to place his member. His own eyes were almost glowing as he entered the small body beneath him, moaning from the warm welcome. Tighnaris omega heart swelled as the bulge of Cyno's penis was thrust inside him. He was bigger than his toys, so it was a big change. Tighnari had to spread his legs wider to accommodate the size, moans escaping as he drew the other on top of him so he could lie down.

Who would have guessed that this would be their first time together, let alone in this situation?

On top, Cyno looked incredibly hot, enough to make the foxkin drool at any other time. As his tail curled between his legs, partly in the way, his ears leaned back on his head, signaling submission to the other. It was simple canine communication.
"F-fuck... so tight," Cyno moaned and supported himself with his arms beside Tighnari, his face aroused. One hand moved to his leg, pushing him more open so he could slide in even deeper.
"Cyno," he said softly, his hands reaching out to tangle his white hair. "Do you think you can last a week?"
"I'll be... dry by the end, but I don't want you running to an Alpha or someone else," he admitted, telling him what he already knew. When he finally moved, it was too slow at first, so he increased the speed of the thrusts to fuck him balls deep.
Thanks to Tighnari's flexibility, his leg was able to lift easily, resting on Cynos shoulder as he took his entire length. It was almost too much for him; his cheeks flushed and his eyes were half-lidded. "I won't... it's all for you," he murmured, his moans becoming more pronounced with each thrust. He lowered his hands to grasp the sheets on either side of him, his tail now wrapping itself around the other's leg. "Faster," he urged, arching his back and raising his ass to meet each thrust.
"Mine," Cyno groaned and leaned in closer, beginning to nipple at his neck, unsure what effect it would have. "Nari... you smell so good."
Cyno panted heavily and thrusted harder and faster before biting into the soft skin at Tighnaris' neck, only to stop himself from coming too fast. Cyno should be able to last a few rounds due to his stamina as General Mahamatra.

"Cyno!” Tighnari nearly melted when the Matra bite right on his gland spot. As he gasped out, his pheromones were all over the place. If there were any other foxkin around, they'd probably be able to smell his scent for miles. Tighnari clung to him tightly, as if he had been officially marked. All he could think about was Cyno inside him. His toes clenched in delight, and his hole tightened around the invasive erection in response. "So... deep," he panted.
"You're doing so well," Cyno groaned, licking the spot he'd just bit, leaving other marks on his neck. "I'm so close, Nari."

This wouldn't be their last time, but Cyno tried to make it even spicier than it was, which is why he lifted Tighnari a little and hit another angle, as well as reaching for his tail and pulling softly on it to see if it was okay.
Tighnari moaned loudly at the new angle, his eyes rolling to the back of his head. He gently bit Cynos' shoulder with his teeth while his nails dragged along the Mahamatra's back, leaving scratches. Tighnari drew back and stared at his tail as it wagged in delight and thumped on the ground in excitement. "Sometimes I think it has its own mind," he muttered before returning to his original task.
"Perhaps that's why it always curled around me when I was... ah... close to you," Cyno smirked, pulling lightly again.
The Omega felt amazing and fulfilled because Cyno was so deep inside. "Cyno... can you rub my ears? Gently... r-right here... ah...! Also, do not cum inside! There's a high chance I'll get pregnant! I don't have protection here..."

He rubbed his ears with the other hand; it was difficult to be everywhere at once... He missed a third hand. But he used his own body to rub up against Tighnari, filling him up even more. The warning came a little too late; Cyno had no idea how this worked with fennec foxes or that they could become pregnant. Protection was important in the first place, but due to the unusual circumstances, he didn't consider it.
"F-fuck... Nari," he growled, thrusting inside him once more to reach his climax, having come inside him after all.
The foxkin whimpered as his ears and tail were interacted with, muzzling into his hand and wiggling his hips to perfectly fit his Penis. "Cyno," he shouted, the sensation of his body filling with cum. He yelled again as he came soon after. It gave him a brief rest luring Cyno to snuggle with him in the meantime. "Hah... thank you."
"Nari...", Cyno murmured in his ear, continuing to rub his ears lightly. He was almost horny again knowing this wasn't the end, but he took a short break. "You're welcome," he said. He didn't pull out of him while cuddling, and enjoyed the connection they had.

Not long after, Cyno planted a kiss on Tighnaris' cheek, pondering how to ask about the pregnancy. Tighnari just snuggled into his arms, not minding the cockwarming as he quickly replenished his energy. This was the nature of his heat, which gradually faded over the next seven days.
"Did you enjoy it? I know it's not like normal sex. I'll have you drained by the end of the week, but at least you'll have sex every month," he half-joked. "Do you think you can make a run to Sumeru City and pick up some protection?” He trailed off, assuming Cyno would figure it out.
"I... umm...", Cyno stuttered, playing with Tighnari’s hair as he considered his response. "I can't tell the difference. This was my first time." It's embarrassing if Tighnari thought he already had some experience there. He didn't wait for an answer, instead looking deep inside Tighnari’s eyes. "You can get pregnant for real?!" He sounded shocked.

"Why would I lie about my ability to become pregnant? I told you not to cum inside. Cyno! I can't possibly raise children on my own!" He gave him a quick glare before pulling his ears down in distress. "Now I have to hope I don't get pregnant and have to travel all the way to Sumeru City for protection. Slide out. I'll go get it." He was already preparing to put on his clothes and leave. The scent of Cyno was enough to keep away any Alphas... perhaps not the one in their rut, but most of them. The soft moment between them had been broken off.
Cyno needed a moment to process this information in his head; his mind was filled with possibilities, and he wasn't even ready to have children.
When Tighnari moved, he let out a deep groan and felt the cold around his half-hard erection.
"Wait! You don't have to... If this is what you want, I'll do it. But you wouldn't be alone... Damn! Nari! There is far too much information for me. Wouldn't I be the father?" He grabbed his arm again and drew him closer. "I don't want to make things worse, so I'll get the protection, but if you're pregnant, you're going to make me the happiest man here."

Tighnari stared at him in disbelief, not impressed and becoming more distressed. His omega side felt a swell of pride in his chest as he realized he could have done a good job for his alpha. But there was also his more rational side. He sighed as Cyno displayed all of his emotions in front of him. "I don't believe you understand what you're saying right now. If I am pregnant, you will not be able to be present due to your responsibilities. You work for a high position, commanding multiple branches of the army charged with investigating crime across Sumeru. Taking a leave off of that for a maternal leave would be a nightmare and impossible to get approved without losing your job. So, what happens next? You're best off leaving the puppies with me. For the time being, we must hope that nothing happens. You obviously need time to gather your thoughts and think things through." He didn't have much to say. He was technically at fault for failing to warn him beforehand. The kids would be fine, but raising them here with his own job would be chaotic. "Wait here I'll be back," he grumbled, grabbing his satchel and cleaning the rest of himself off.

-

After Tighnari told him all of this and left, Cyno needed some fresh air. He was pretty sure about what he was saying before, but thinking about it now changed everything. They didn't live in different countries, but the desert and the rainforest were separated and likely too far apart for a single day visit. But doesn't this imply that they'll never have a future in this manner? A relationship? But Cyno was still General Mahamatra... so he couldn't have a family in this way? It's been a long time since Cyno felt bad about something he did. He didn't have time to think about it, slept with his best friend, who was possibly pregnant by this point, and confessed to him in such a state. His head ached.

-

Tighnari returned much sooner than expected because he was running there and back, ignoring the shooting pains in his back. He had more time to think clearly while on the run, and he was willing to work things out with Cyno further once he returned. He got back home with a back stashed inside his own, calling out for the Matra. "Cyno, I think we should-" However, no one was around. He looked around the rooms, wishing he could smack his head against the wall for his stupidity. He most likely dipped on him. The next wave of heat was already coming, so he couldn't go looking for him.

Chapter Text

Cyno knew one thing for certain: he was returning to Tighnari. Being outside allowed him to clear his mind, and he arrived at Tighnari's house not long after. He expected to be alone, so having a spare key came in handy.
"... Nari," he exclaimed, surprised, and shut the door behind him. "I'm sorry. I was hoping you wouldn't be back so soon, so I worked some things out."
Tighnari raised his head weakly as he heard movement outside, defenseless against any intruder. He'd been able to take off his clothes since his arrival and was now wrapped up in his blankets on the sofa, red face and ears peeking out. His breathing was shallow as he enjoyed himself with the blankets, a vibrator already inside, though it didn't help much. "Ah... so you... came back?" He couldn't say much more because his Omega instincts had told him he was basically abandoned by his Alpha, but he reached out to Cyno anyway. He was here. Tighnari whimpered softly, "Hmm..."

It didn't take Cyno long to undress again and return to Tighnari, pull at the blanket, and see that he didn't wait for him.
"I've already missed you," he murmured, reaching for the vibrator. When he shoved it deeper, he got a grin on his face and a loud moan from Tighnari. "I'm sorry for earlier," Cyno said as he removed the vibrator.
Despite being unaware of an Omegas nest, Cyno took Tighnari on his arms and carried him back into the bedroom, where the big bed was more comfortable.
They exchanged another hot kiss and immediately began to grind against each other. Tighnari’s tail waggled as he curled up around Cyno. "Ah... Cyno... please give me your... cock," Tighnari demanded.
"Nhhg... I like you being so greedy." Cyno moaned, one hand in his hair, stroking his ears as he had done before.

Tighnari was pushed back into the sheets while Cyno wavered above him, as if they were made for each other.
"You are so lucky... I'm so turned on by you," he said, placing the tip on Tighnaris's entrance once more and pushing in hard to satisfy the little Omega. "Hah... how can you still be so... tight?" Cyno licked his lips, nibbled at them, and demanded admission. His other hand moved between their bodies to stroke him in the same rhythm. Tighnar’is hole was practically abused, yelling in pure euphoria. His lips parted to allow Cyno in, their tongues swirling in delight, a beautiful steamy dance together.

Tighnari soaked up the attention and Cyno's erection as their bodies rocked together. "Mhh...~! Wait! P-put on the... thing!"
Cyno was so overwhelmed by his feelings and desire for Tighnari that he forgot why they parted ways in the first place. "Fuck... Nari…" he grumbled in response. It was safe to push inside him again before pulling out, still thinking it's strange that Tighnari could become pregnant. "Gimme the... rubber," he hissed, fumbling for the protection, opening it, and placing it over his already leaking member.
Tighnari felt completely empty, already reaching for the other, practically wrapping himself around the other, kissing wherever he could. His lips pressed against Cyno's neck, searching for his "scent gland" despite the fact that he didn't have one. His lips pressed against the skin, biting it. His mind was too fogged up to think clearly, and he couldn't keep his hands away.
"Now it's safe," the General panted, his eyes half closed, looking at the foxkin with a mixture of apology and desire.
"Back in me!" he exclaimed. His hands were exploring the General Mahamatra's every bump and curve, one landing on his happy trail and the other on his abs.

Tighnari didn't let him take a break to adjust to his new restriction because he wasn't sure if he liked the condom.
"Hah.." Cyno gasped due to Tighnari's demanding side and didn't hesitate to put his hands around Tighnari's waist to hover him on his dick. "Ride me," he replied, pulling him hard on his erection.
"Ah..." Tighnari sat directly on the cock, bouncing without hesitation. He was eager to get started, riding him as fast as he could as the hard thing inside carved its way into him. "So... big," he muttered at one point, eager to please Cyno. The Mahamatra gasped for air, almost believing his erection had reached a new depth while Tighnari's fast rythmn was followed by fingers grasping the slender hips.
Tighnaris arched his back for Cyno, his tail thumping against the ground. To balance himself, he needed to rest both hands, one on each shoulder. Cyno got his own show this way. Tighnari rode him until his own release was approaching, his thighs burning from the sudden burst of energy. Slowing down, his nails dug into the bronze skin as he came, his eyes glazed over and half-lidded, unable to move during his high.
"You are mine," Cyno moaned, pulling Tighnari back in a kiss to muffle the noises as he followed the foxkin. His hips rolled once more, this time softly pushed deeper due to the release. "Hnnn~"

Tighnari didn't even get a chance to catch his breath before his world was turned upside down again, shocked at how deep Cyno was and wiggling his hips as he hit his prostata. Cyno's erection wasn't fading, and it was still hard from all the sensation.
"You have no idea how long I've already... wanted this", Cyno ran his tongue over his neck, biting and leaving marks only to fuck him deep in the cushions.

Tighnari's pleasure felt unreal, unlike any other heat he'd ever had. The rest of the world didn't matter because Cyno's face was surrounded by a halo of light and stared up at him with piercing eyes. His hands were bound, preventing him from dragging his fingers along those delicious curves and feeling every muscle the Matra had trained for.
Something inside Cyno has awakened, a deep hidden desire for his lover, the unbroken lust that got through him, revealed what he had tried to crush and ignore for years. Despite not being an Alpha or even experiencing what Tighnari did, it had an impact on the General.

Tighnari cried out, turning his head to the side as he was denied a break, but the pain persisted, causing his own penis to harden once more, wiggling with each rough thrust.
"Deeper!" he begged greedily. It wasn't enough for the little Omega; he wanted Cyno to go completely feral on him. Even Cyno's mind went blank, wanting to come inside Tighnari and breed him until the heat was over.
"Nari... ah," he moaned, ramming his hard flesh deeper and harder inside. The condom is unlikely to survive this.

"Moan for me, Nari... let me hear you are mine." Cyno shifted his arms so that he could hold him down with only one hand. The other moved down, leaving soft scratches on the hot skin and reaching for the tail to pull him hard once more. Tighnari’s prostata was hit repeatedly, his eyes nearly rolling back and him being a complete mess for Cyno. The tail pulling had the foxkin yelping and whimpering; he had no idea such a kink existed for him.
"C-Cyno...!" Tighnari groaned as another great angle hit his walls, causing his hips to jerk up. Every part of him became more sensitive as he waited for his "Alpha" to issue a command.
Cyno must have had primal instincts to know exactly what to do when his body acted almost on its own. Unable to stop, he had no choice but to speed up, gasping for air and having once more Tighnari’s name on his lips. "Come for me."
Just like that, Tighnari reached his climax and licked his lips as it came to an end, stopping himself from moaning any further.

Tighnari curled up beneath him, tail tucked between his legs as he hugged it, needing to re-energize for their many future rounds. When Cyno drew back, he checked the bursted condom and bit his lips, while Tighnari sensed some sperm leaking from him. So much for protection, but his Omega heat had shielded him from the truth, leading him to believe it was a complete success with no blocks.
"I'm sorry," Cyno said quietly, brushing some hair from his face. Tighnari barely moved during his slumber, taking deep breaths as he remained covered in cum and his tail matted from the rough treatment.

-

Tighnari awoke an hour later with his fur knotted and hair tangled, his skin brushed, marked, and stretched, and his body covered in cum and twisted sheets.
"Good morning, dear... what a fur nomenal view to awaken to." When Tighnari began to move, Cyno's eyes slowly opened. He didn't have a deep sleep because of his job.
"How romantic." Tighnari simply replied while stretching. "I need to shower, I feel sticky." The foxkin sighed and turned to face Cyno. "How are you doing? There's a creek down the road. Since it used to be a withering zone, no one touches it." He tugged on his robe, now standing with shaky legs. "Argh... You did not go easy on me.." he sighed, grabbing whatever he could to get out of bed. This could be a new sex experience... in the river.

Chapter Text

The heat put Tighnari’s mind in a different place and the detail about the bursted condom slipped his mind during the session. For now he was focused on his hygiene, crooning as he entered the water of the riverbank, Cyno followed him.
Tighnari turned and asked his Lover, who sat at the water's edge, "Can you wash my back?"
"Are you sure I should come join you right now?" A hypothetical question before he undressed again to slowly wade into the creek. "Argh.. c-cold," he grumbled, noting that the oases in the desert were much warmer than those in the rainforest.
"Yes, you should, and you should help me." Tighnari clicked his tongue as he watched the other enter the water. "Don't tell me the General Mahamatra can't bear cooler water?"
Tighnari hummed as Cyno approached from behind, his finger running above his shoulders and down his arms, certain to catch the foxkin's hand and entangle their finger. Right now, a gentle gesture with no sexual tension.
"Just give me some time to get used to the temperature, cheeky boy," Cyno replied as Tighnari leaned in closer.
"You have about 5 more days of this, are you sure you can handle it?" he asked, seeking reassurance. As his head landed on the sturdy chest, his tail wrapped around Cyno.
"I should ask you if you think you can handle me. I have a lot more to give, and I still have enough stamina." Cyno smirked, which was unusual for the General Mahamatra.
"It's quite a jump to have been good friends to you helping me through my heat... and confessing. You'll confess more romantically after you've given this some thought. Right? After all, I'm not going to accept anything less." Tighnari's ears perked up as they stood together.
"Only fur you," Cyno joked before changing his tone to be more sincere: "I'm not sure if I can be cheesy, but I'll make it worth it for you." Followed by a gentle kiss on the cheek.

Tighnari opened his mouth to speak again when he noticed movement and then the scent of an Alpa on the trail. He lowered himself into the water, leaving only his shoulders and head above the surface. "Cyno, get down!" He gave instructions to the other and observed what appeared to be an Alpha in rut prowling the premises. Cyno had already gotten down thanks to his keen senses when he heard something approaching.
Tighnari murmured, "It's an Alpha..." The other foxkin appeared to be a bit scruffy, probably looking for an Omega to take. They surveyed the area, tilting his head at Tighnari in the Water, and could smell the heat from the saccharine scent. He walked closer, assessing the situation considering Cyno was near.

"Tell me what to do," Cyno said into his ear, "to show them you're mine." His eyes narrowed as he drew Tighnari closer under the water, who pressed against Cyno as the other approached.
"I'm not sure. Because you are not a true Alpha, he may not take you seriously. So... mate with me!" Tighnari turned away from the Alpha, a determined glint in his eyes. "Go on! We don't have time to waste if we're going to show them I'm not a lone Omega." He offered his neck to the General and wrapped his arms around him, immediately claiming his lips.
"Are you...," was all the General could say before Tighnari gave the order. Following their kiss, Cyno hardened again and almost forgot about the Alpha watching them. Cyno nearly purred in the kiss, and the closeness made it easy to enter him again, this time more slowly. When Cyno filled his lonely hole again, still wet from their last mating, the condoms they had brought were forgotten and no longer needed. The water around them was especially stimulating, making it easier to keep Tighnari in this position.

The Alpha paused for a moment, watching them before grunting and walking away. Tighnari could finally moan loudly when he felt safe in Cyno’s arms and was no longer a random Alpha's goal. "I'm... sorry... if you want, we can stop." Tighnari didn't want to make Cyno have sex in front of others, but there was no other option. They could stop now that the Alpha was gone. He was about getting away from Cyno.
"Would you... not?!" growled Cyno, not even thinking about stopping right now. He pushed himself back inside his lover, one hand kneading an ass cheek. "Nari, don't underestimate me... I won't let you go until you come twice for me."

The Mahamatra sounded solemn as he moved to strike Tighnari’s prostate. "I'm breeding you so that no other Alpha will ever get close to you."
The foxkin gasped, only to be yanked back and feel his hole nicely filled with Cyno manhood. He couldn't help but chuckle, feeling foolish for thinking this man had patience. Tighnari was eager to please Cyno, and Cyno was eager to fill Tighnari. His claws lightly scraped the bronze skin, as if it were the calm before the storm. The Omega was digging deeply into the layers, almost howling in ecstasy, as a result of those unforgiving thrusts.

Cyno had a good time and was completely in love with Tighnari, with no mercy for anyone who dared to disturb them. He pounded right in the best spot of Tighnari, hitting all the sensitive nerves and overwhelming his brain signals. Tighnari's thoughts were as incoherent as his words, blubbering nonsense as tears rolled down his cheeks, his orgasm already rippling through him. No Alpha could ever compete with his lover's passion for him.
"Hah..." he panted, tongue sticking out, tail wagging happily behind him. "K-keep... going," he begged, not wanting to take a break. He wanted to be pounded until he couldn't stand it any longer.

"Let everyone around us hear you moaning and being completely taken in by me," Cyno grumbled. He was already leaking, but that was no reason to stop thrusting so deeply into his guts. It was a pleasant feeling for Cyno to think he could feel his own erection through Tighnari’s belly. Tighnari moved his hand down to his stomach, near the womb, feeling the faint outline of the dick banging against his walls.
"I'm not going to stop until you're full of mine and our lovemaking," Cyno said as he lifted his lips to purr into the wet hair. "Tell me where you want me to go."
Taking one of Cyno’s hands, the foxkin led it to his tail without any clear instructions, and Cyno immediately pulled hard on it again. Tighnari's hips shook as cum dribbled out of his used entrance, and he whimpered as his tail was tugged, his eyes blurring with tears. "Ahhh.... yes."
"Ah~," the General groaned deeply, continued to move, and grinned. He'd spill everything he had inside him, breeding him for real. "Naughty little boy."
Tighnari's insides got hitted when he shifted their positions and ended up closer to the river's bank. "Turn," Cyno said now. "Show it to me."

Tighnari needed Cyno to slide out so he could present his round ass and bending over, his yearning hole gaping. "Cyno... more... please," he begged, his ears drawn to him as if he was listening for his deep voice.
The Mahamatra licked his lips and moaned because of the beautiful view he had. "Ah... so dirty. Look at you," his deep, lustful voice said. Tighnari's tail was pulled once more, but this time much harder, to show off his ass even more. Cyno was unaware of how natural his words and actions felt, as if he had been born to please his lover.

Cyno pressed against his body once more, slowly sliding inside the leaking hole.
"Nari," he moaned, bending forward and biting his shoulder. Cyno was completely sucked in, and his own cum was used to fuck deep inside him once more. Tighnari's hand moved down his body, touching his stomach to feel how full he was of cum and to balance on the side, the other hand was held out. They'd be ready for a long slumper after that.

Tighnari's lips were dry from his constant breathy moaning and huffing during these rounds. His cheeks were flushed from sinful thoughts and overstimulation tears. The Mahamatra fucked the foxkin senseless, reapeating his name from trembling lips. The water sloshed around them as they proceeded with their activity, their skin wet and their thrusts fervent with lust.
"Nari, you're clenching so hard... around me," Cyno grumbled. "So good."
Cyno couldn't hold back any longer, and his hand wandered deeper, clutching Tighnari’s erection tightly. "Come for me." He released inside him once more after another hard thrust.
When Cyno's hands roamed his body, Tighnari shook like a leaf, his orgasm ripping through him. Something about feeling owned by him made Tighnari happy, pushing back on the softened penis inside him as his own strung out white streams. For a brief moment, his eyes closed, chasing his breath.
Cynos orgasm lasted even after both of them sank down. They were definitely in need of a break... after they had cleaned up.

-

"Your training is no joke..." Tighnari said after a few minutes of getting out of the creek, moving to grab the rag and exfoliate his skin, followed by Cyno's.
"Training, mh?" Cyno asked thoughtfully. "It's nice to hear you like this, but I hope you're all right? Are you able to walk?"
"I'm fine. I believe I can walk back home as well."
Tighnari's legs trembled as he stood on his feet, shocked by how heavy he felt before falling directly into Cynos' arms.
"Sure you are," the Mahamatra said, lifting him bridal style after both of them got dressed again.
Tighnari's cheeks flushed red with embarrassment as he was carried, clearing his throat and resting his head on the shoulders of the other. The rest of the walk was silent until they arrived at his house and returned to the bedroom. He quickly wrapped himself in the covers and clung to Cyno. Their scent mingled as he fell asleep instantly, his body as limp as ever and sore from activities. Cyno smiled and closed his eyes as well to get some rest.

Chapter Text

Cyno collapsed after his last orgasm almost a week later and filled Tighnari as much as he had in the previous days. They eventually forgot about the condoms, it wouldn't have changed anything because all of their attempts resulted in a bursted one.

"I'm tired, Nari..." he murmured, unsure when Tighnari's heat would end. Cyno, the great Mahamatra, had been put to the ultimate test by the foxkin.
Tighnari couldn't stop wanting and begging for the Matra’s manhood for the first few days, even doing back-to-back rounds, stacking to three at times. After all, Cyno had already bred him and had been fucking him the entire time.
His heat became less frequent over the week, and Tighnari didn't need to be bred as frequently. "You did a fantastic job. That should be enough I believe. I can feel my heat moving on sooner than expected." Tighnari deduced from unspoken words that it was most likely due to the feeling being thoroughly bred and impregnated. Tighnari ran his finger through his pearly white hair, knowing that it wouldn't be long before Cyno had to return to his tasks and leave Tighnari.
Tighnari was definitely pregnant with his kits, but the foxkin kept his mouth shut. "Let's get started cleaning up..."
The Mahamatra's brain needed time to progress, but he learned a lot about himself and Tighnari this week. As he finally let go of Tighnari, rolling to his side, a quiet smile appeared on his lips.
"I'm not complaining, but wow," he commented. "I'm glad I didn't just let you go," Cyno admitted.

It felt surreal to finally have a mate to help him through these rough times, even though he wouldn't have another heat for another nine months.
"I am as well... but I do not accept just anyone. Cyno, I'm not free food on the street." Tighnari reached for his thin robe, which he slipped on while cleaning himself up from the leaking sperm and grooming his fur nicely.
"I know... but I'd like to talk to you about... this." Cyno began by taking a serious look at him. "Especially if we really do become... parents."
"You can start with your thoughts while I clean up here. I can't leave it in a state of disarray and return to something disastrous."

Tighnari turned to a small mirror in the room and rubbed down his ears.
"I'm still not sure what's going on, but seeing that Alpha lurking for you while I was there only strengthened my decision not to share you with anyone."
"For being unaware of what was going on, you did an excellent job. Heats are basically to help our species continue for generations. It increases our hormonal and sexual desire to start a family. I can't say I've never considered getting one, but my work schedule simply doesn't allow me to jump into the dating pool and hope to find someone half as good as you... heh... I'm sure you've realized by now that your feelings are requited."

While they talked, Cyno cleared his throat and helped clean the place. "Anyway, I'm sorry if I ignored your request for protection, but it was pointless when you didn't care either." Cyno took a deep breath and became aware of his own heartbeat. "We'll get this, right? We'll figure it out. It will work, if you are pregnant. You're not going to be alone with them." It was simple to ask their friends for assistance, so no one had to quit their jobs. "Also..." he continued, reaching for Tighnari. "I... I meant what I said. And I'll do it again later, but I'm pretty sure I've been in love with you for a long time."

Tighnari chuckled at Cyno's soft confession. "I love you too. I'm confident that if I become pregnant, everything will work out. I'm surrounded by a generous village and many helpers who are willing to take over certain tasks for me if I'm unable to. You, however, need to watch your job as General Mahamatra. It's a prestigious position that shouldn't be put on hold solely because of the pregnancy. I know your missions and locations are mostly classified, but it would be nice if you could pay us a visit once in a while, at least when the kits are born." He gave him a sad smile, knowing that he wasn't obligated to all of Cyno's time in that way, and that it would make him feel guilty if the other quit or slacked because of him.
"I had to have been blind and stupid the entire time. I'm glad my previous whatever-relationship didn't last," Cyno sighed. He had run into the arms of someone else not long ago to fill the hole in his heart, not realizing it was Tighnari he wanted. "I'm not going to ignore my responsibilities. I can handle both, and I'll make you the happiest man on the planet. Of course, I'd like to see you as well. Especially now that I know what I've been missing all these years..."

They'd figure it out sooner or later, especially if their relationship lasted long enough with some kits around. It was a good sign that Cyno was feeling better about the possibilities for their future.

"If you're pregnant, how long will you be...? And, not to be greedy, but will I only be able to touch you while you're heat?" Cyno played with Tighnari’s hair as he whispered to him. They had finished cleaning and could finally relax.
"If I'm pregnant, it's nine months, just like humans. All of the symptoms are the same. But... my kind is known to give birth to between two and five kits. I really hope we get lucky with two." He clicked his tongue, temporarily separating them to stare at Cyno. "I think you're greedy; you're looking to breed me again right after my heat? Yes, my horny Matra, you are permitted if you are not tired of it." His lips brushed against the others as he sat with him for a few moments longer and crooned.
"Nine months should be enough to plan some things at the very least." Cyno didn't believe it, but maybe Tighnari wasn't pregnant after all, and thinking about it made Cyno sad. "One who looks like you and one who looks like me, just think about the cute little ones!" Their DNA would match each other perfectly.

-

Cyno stayed for a few more days but eventually left, unable to deny he had some missions to complete and positions to keep up. But before he left, he made sure Tighnari was okay.
Cyno returned a few weeks later, seeing Tighnari working normally after everything had been settled once again.
He came to visit frequently, but only every few weeks, because he wanted to know what was going on. He wasn't sure yet if Tighnari was pregnant or not. While Tighnari was busy with some patients, Cyno arranged some things at his house, and when he heard someone moving outside, he decided to look for it.

"Please read over it." Tighnari spoke with his patient, and while they were reading, he walked away to get something else, but was hit by a wave of nausea. "Hng..." He paused for a moment to take a deep breath.
"Are you feeling okay?" Cyno asked, walking quickly towards him and looking at him with concern.
"Cyno, I thought I heard you shuffling around. I'm perfectly fine. I was on my way to take my patient out of our care." Tighnari returned his smile, pleased to see him. "It's been a long time. Have you completed your most recent agendas?" The foxkin only needed a minute to regain his composure before grabbing the paperwork and quill.
"I'm finished for the next few days. I'll be busy after that, but it'll be nothing bad, and I'll return when I'm done!"

Tighnari returned with Cyno close behind, handing over the paperwork to be signed. "Alright. That should be all."
The Mahamatra stood back, arms crossed, watching Tighnari discharge his patient. His eyes stopped exactly at his belly, but he couldn't see anything. It was foolish of him to think it would be so simple, but he was curious.
Tighnari waved goodbye to his patient as they walked away, his ears flickering when he felt eyes on him and blushed when he noticed Cyno staring at his stomach.
"Is my bloating really noticeable? I thought I had enough layers on to hide it." Tighnari turned away, embarrassed, to begin sterilizing the hut. It would have to be clean for new patients.
Cyno's eyes slowly widened; this information took some time to sink in, but he rushed to Tighnari and placed his hands on his shoulders to turn him.
"You mean...?!" The pupils glowed, almost sparkling. Tighnari was the only one who was allowed to see this side of him, but he really showed how happy he was for the first time. "I was just wondering. I couldn't see anything! But is it true?"
"Ah, Cyno! I suppose it's pointless to elaborate, so yes. Normally, I'd be back to my regular schedule by now... but there's no sign of it. I also took a proper test, and the results have been checked several times." After all, he was taken aback by how raw Cyno's emotions were, not expecting such an outpouring of joy. "However, the bloating is just that. Bloating. You won't see any progress for a few weeks... then again, I think I'm carrying multiple," he said quietly to the other, setting the cleaning supplies aside.
"I can't believe!" Cyno exclaimed, but quickly cleared his throat. Because they were still at Tighnari's workplace, they were prepared for visitors. "I am sorry. Maybe I'm just a little overwhelmed by these emotions."
"It's true... are you certain you'll adjust well to this? You might miss a lot of the progression and possibly birth because of your job."
"I can do it! We'll do it, and I'm about to figure out how everything will work out in our favor. I'll definitely be there for the birth!" The birth will be a special occasion for him, and nothing will keep him from being there.
"I'm happy, Cyno. I'm just worried. It's a significant change in both of our schedules, and I know I'll be dealing with physical changes for the next nine months. On that note, I'm worried about what I'll face, but I'm glad you're happy." Tighnari smiled softly and pulled him into a gentle embrace when he was certain no one else was around.
"I love you. Take care of yourself on missions now, because our childs needs his father."

Cyno cocked his head, concerned by Tighnari's words. Of course he was happy, but he hadn't considered what lay ahead for Tighnari; the birth was only the end of the pregnancy.
"Avoid overworking yourself. You need to think about the kids even more," Cyno said, placing his hand on Tighnari's stomach for a moment. "I'll stay tonight and leave early tomorrow morning for some errands at the academy."
Tighnari blinked dumbly at the hand on his stomach, it felt off, especially for how early it was, but warmth swelled in his heart, causing his cheeks to redden slightly. "Alright. I'll prepare you a place to stay. What are you going to do now? I'm sure you could run some errands right now unless they are time consuming. My work for today isn't quite finished." As he tilted his head, a leaf fell from inside the hut and brushed against his hair strands, his ears wiggled. "When you get back, I'll cook us a nice meal."
"Mhhh," hummed the Mahamatra, wondering if it would be better to go today rather than tomorrow so he could spend more time with his boyfriend.
"Maybe you're right! It's better if I do it today; I can lend some things I need," he replied. "I'm really looking forward to your homemade dinner!" Cyno considered going to the academy's library to read some books about parenting. Or whatever he needs to know about Tighnari's pregnancy.
"Yes, yes, yes. Return quickly and don't forget about dinner. I won't wait forever," Tighnari huffed, shooing him away after a chaste kiss on the cheek.

Sunset had long passed, leaving darkness to cover the beautiful shades of greenery and reveal deeper hues. Tighnari was left pouting in bed, waiting for Cyno with drooping ears and a limp tail because the cooked meal had gone cold. He was dissatisfied and worried, with no sign of the white-haired man in sight. He couldn't stand it any longer and resolved to track him down and scold him personally, wherever he might be in the vast city. He grabbed his cloak and set out, eventually reaching the city to ask a guard about the Mahamatra. He was fortunate that the information was not classified, which led him to the library.

-

Earlier…

Cyno walked to the library, already planning what he needed. It was difficult to find all of the books he needed without asking anyone. But what would happen if the great General Mahamatra requested books about children? Pregnancy?
He was very quiet while searching and hid whenever he saw someone. Cyno decided to take some random books and pile them up around him, most of the people who remained didn't mind him, so he had time to read in these books.
A lot of information flooded his mind, and he became tired after a few hours. He hadn't read so much in a long time... so he eventually fell asleep on one of his books, pages open on the most detailed information about pregnancy after a heat…

"And what have we got here? Dozing off in the library, of all places, General Mahamatra? Does your job bore you to sleep?" Alhaitham tapped the man on the shoulder and laughed at how quickly Cyno awoke.
"What...?" Normally, it didn't take him long to realize what was going on because he never slept deeply enough. He dreamed of everything he consumed earlier, and many little kits ran around him, calling him "dad" and making him smile until he was startled. Alhaitham, the last human he wanted to see, woke him up in the most unpleasant way, and his face began to flush when he realized what was going on.
"I had no idea you were interested in such things." Alhaitham arched his brow, leaning over the table to inspect the books. "Normally, I wouldn't bother you, but the library is closing, even for you, and I figured you'd rather be kicked out by me than embarrass yourself in front of your colleagues."
"That's...! The books slipped in by accident!" he exclaimed quickly, closing the book. "You can't kick me out!" he added, narrowing his eyes to change the subject.
"If you don't want me to, I'll gladly hand you over to your subordinates to meekly lead you out. You are well aware that the library has limited hours." Alhaitham would not bother looking for someone to do that. “But they slipped in by accident? Cyno, I'm not sure that's possible. Because the library is organized by topic, you spent the majority of your evening perusing the parenthood section. I didn't expect you to copulate with another so quickly and carelessly, or perhaps this person's heat was aphrodisiac." Alhaitham scanned through another book that had been piled around him.
"As if you would know anything about that," Cyno replied, rolling his eyes. "It's called doing research on something, and I took several books on various topics." He couldn't get away from Alhaitham because all of his books were about the same thing. “Fine… I was already done. I just need to get the majority of them back," he grumbled.
"I find your lies amusing. I can hardly contain my laughter," Alhaitham said flatly, crossing his arms.
"Aren't you preoccupied these days? Shouldn't the Acting Grand Sage be doing something more... significant?" It was better that no one else woke and reminded him of the closing hours. But he disliked agreeing with him. "Or have you already lost your new reputation?"

"My job is always busy, but not at this time of night. It's well past ten o'clock. As the head Guard, I'd think you'd have more important things to attend to. Am I mistaken? It's appropriate for the Sage to be here, among the towers of books that hold knowledge." He walked past him and over to another book shelf. "I've come to see the library's restricted area. I suppose there is a benefit to the position I currently hold."
Cyno only wanted to spend a few hours here, not the entire day, and he missed Tighnari's dinner.
"Great," he grumbled. When he missed dinner because of books, it was the perfect start to their future together. "You could have woken me up sooner since you're already here!"
"I apologize for not keeping track of you the entire time, Cyno. Truly. To keep track of time, I believe I should have hovered over you like an anemo-slime while you read. But, don't you think we've moved on from this?" When some steps were suddenly audible, Alhaitham scoffed and paused.
"Sure, whatever. I didn't want to see you in the first place, but you've made me run even more late now." Cyno turned and shook his head. "Don't you dare tell anyone about what you saw today," Cyno grumbles as he grabs the last few books and prepares to leave.

"What's wrong with this volume in a library late at night?"

"Are you still here, too? My job does not require me to accompany others out of the building." Alhaitham took a key from his pocket, another dangling from the bottom, and cast a glance over his shoulder. "Would you hurry up and leave?"
"Tsk," Kaveh, who had joined them, came to a halt in front of Alhaitham, casting a brief glance at the General Mahamatra. "I'm not here to get thrown out. When I got tired of waiting, I went looking for you!" The blonde sighed, his gaze fixed on the reason he had to follow his roommate. "I knew it. You stole my key yet again! Would you take better care of your surroundings? It's not so difficult to leave the house with only ONE key!"

"Kaveh, how can you be looking for me and waiting for me at the same time?" That seemed contradictory to him, but he brushed it aside and returned Kaveh's key to his pocket rather than handing it to him. Alhaitham liked to grab both keys, which made Kaveh come looking for him.
"By first waiting almost an hour and then looking after you! Is that so difficult to understand?" Kaveh appeared irritated, as if he had already wasted too much time this evening waiting. He just wanted to take a shower so he could get back to work on the next project... with the materials he had left at home.

"Won't you tell me who your child's mother is, Cyno? The General Mahamatra is easily distracted now, and as Acting Grand Sage, I believe it is wise to know who. Your workplace isn't exactly a safe space for some fathers to be."
"Who said they were my children?" asked the General, revealing his own lie in the process.
"I'm sorry to hear this person cheated on you. But I already have an idea who it is. Have fun with the kits."
The desire to fight Alhaitham right here in the library grew stronger with each passing second. "I... you... What are you!" Cyno stumbled over his words, unsure of how to respond. He didn't want to tell him what he did with Tighnari, but he felt so exposed.

“And don't worry, Kaveh will not say anything to anyone. He is far too preoccupied with himself to think of you.“ He took Kaveh's hand in his as he waited for a response, assuming he would get one.
"Who is the one who thinks of himself most of the time, huh?" Kaveh interjected as he was about to finish his last word. "You could be much more useful if you didn't think only of yourself." For the time being, Kaveh was more concerned with Alhaitham than with Cyno, and he looked perplexed, his hand in Haitham's. "Are you still not coming home?"

Meanwhile, Cyno sighed as he watched these two argue.

"Ah, yes. Is my sweet roommate watching out for my safety?" He glanced at Cyno while resting his thumb on Kaveh's chin. Alhaitham sighed as Kaveh continued his little tantrum, which he always found amusing. Kaveh's cheeks flushed and he immediately stopped talking. He's vulnerable to any closer contact with his roommate, the Acting Grand Sage. "I still need to keep an eye on Sumeru until a new Grand Sage takes over. I believe I am quite generous. But I digress. Let's go home and leave the strange man to take care of his ki—"

”CYNO!” Tighnari yelled, breaking the silence of the nearly empty library. Cyno was startled by Tighnari's echoing through the library and the books in his hands had fallen to the floor.
The foxkin stormed inside, huffing and lowering his ears, a frightening glint in his eyes. "What have you been doing? I understand that work is essential, but some communication about being late for dinner would have been appreciated. I had to stay up late waiting for you and package the food for tomorrow. What are you up to?" He crossed his arms as he joined the fray, tapping his foot on the ground impatiently.
"He was just telling me how someone was having kits with another person," Alhaitham replied, not wanting to miss out on the fun. It was simple for Alhaitham to figure out who was pregnant, and it was appropriate. He remained close to Kaveh, crossed his arms, and watched them.

"Shut up! I never said anything like that. Stop assuming!" Cyno countered, but then he looked guilty at Tighnari. "I'm sorry Nari. I... dozed off, and this idiot just woke me up."
"Shouldn't you be grateful he woke you up? It's pitch black outside, and..." Tighnari paused for a moment to assess the situation, hands on his hip. "What are you doing in the library with them? Is Alhaitham not your..."
"Former lover. You're right. I don't have much time left to argue with him about his meaningless words. Let's get going, Kaveh. And, Tighnari, congratulations." He then turned away with his roommate and led him out. The other two were now on their own.

"How many people know I'm... forget it. I'll leave if you're still working on your research. I suppose it was stupid of me to come here and check on you. To forget about the dinner, your work must have been critical." Tighnari calmed down, regretting storming in here. Hormones were causing his emotions. "I'm going to look for an Inn to stay in tonight." He now made his way back to the exit.
"Wait a minute, Nari! Nobody knows... I mean, besides him, but I didn't tell him," Cyno explained quickly as he chased him down. "You are correct; it is my fault. But hold on. Here," he said, grabbing his arm and giving one of the books to him. "They were about you, and I read so much that I fell asleep. The Library has closed, and I have no choice but to leave. Let's go together! I had no intention of staying."

Tighnari scanned the title, his heart warm and butterflies in his stomach. Cyno's cheeks flushed once more, embarrassed by how biased he already was with the kits.
"Oh, Cyno. I had no idea... thank you." He softly smiles and hugs the book to his chest. "Let's go find a place where you can sleep properly in bed. But since you haven't eaten dinner yet, I'll see if there are any restaurants open this late."

-

They walked out of the Library into the refreshing streets. Tighnari hadn't been there in a while, enjoying the night scenery. As fireflies danced in the air around him, his hand reached out.
"I don't require a bed to sleep at all. I'm used to sleeping on the floor, but this is better for you."
"Oh, please keep quiet! We can find two beds. There's no reason to sacrifice yourself to the floor." Tighnari softly smiled as they walked up and down the winding path.
"I wouldn't mind sharing one bed with you, you know?" Cyno mentioned flirting. Cyno had to force himself to look around and enjoy the beautiful night instead of staring at Tighnari the entire time. Not bad for when you usually don't have time for a normal stroll through the city.
"What do you want? I brought some Mora with me; I should have enough for dinner and a night's stay.”

They soon entered an open restaurant and began perusing the menu.
"Does anything pique your interest? I've already eaten, so I'm not very hungry."
"How about surprising me with some dishes? Let me enjoy the view for as long as I can, it's unusual to see you in the city at night." Cyno wasn't here as often as Tighnari, but he was probably here longer.
Tighnari's ears perked up toward Cyno. "Please, one Tahchin dish... and one Paridisah Pudding for myself," he said. "Let's just sit there and wait." Tighnari took a seat, his tail dangling from the gap behind him. The General sat next to him, close enough to touch his leg, and took off his hat in public, which was unusual.
“Do you not have your own room? I'd think that because of your job, they'd provide you with a comfortable place to live."
"Hahaha... there is, um..." replied Cyno, scratching his chin. "I don't have any. I used to stay at... Alhaitham's house, so there was no need for another place to live when I was working."
Tighnari nodded, not questioning anything. He refused to discuss Cyno's previous relationship with Alhaitham.

"Did you really spend the entire evening researching for our kit? Cyno, your dedication is admirable. We need to make plans for how we will raise them and set up a nursery for them. I've had some experience with children and babies as a result of my job, but raising one is an entirely different experience."
"I'd like to be ready for our kits! And I'd like to assist you with your pregnancy while I have the opportunity. I'm still sorry I fell asleep," he said, feeling bad for causing Tighnari concern.
"It's in the past; I'm just glad you're okay. I’d rather worry for nothing than find you seriously injured.”

Their orders arrived before they could continue talking, and Cyno thanked the waiter. He looked Tighnari in the eyes, a fork in his hand.
"This may seem too much at first, but I thought you could relocate closer to the desert? You don't need a specific work environment for your job, and Sumeru's rainforest is large. So... it might be easier to see each other, and I'd have a place to come home most of the time."
The foxkin froze as he picked up his spoon to dip into the purple pudding. "I suppose I could think of somewhere. I'm just worried about leaving Collei there, and some of the forest is owned by the Aranaras. It would be helpful to open another clinic closer to the city. This, however, leaves room for more enemies. I sense those knuckleheads a mile away, but I'm not sure it would be safe for potential patients. Let me figure out the details later. I'll decide before the third trimester." He wished he could be closer to Cyno, but his work was his own calling.

"I believe you did an excellent job raising and training Collei. You still have a few months before you have to make a decision. As for them... Let them be my problem. I'll find people to secure the area you're in." Cyno didn't have to ignore his own job because he was in a position to hire people to look after the Eremits.

"Enjoy your meal," Cyno smiled, moved closer, and bent over to lick some of the pudding from Tighnari's corner of the mouth.
Tighnari felt better knowing he'd be closer and the area would be secure, but his thoughts were quickly cut off by the intimacy and closed distance between them. His pupils widened as his cheeks flushed red. “And what was that for, General Mahamatra? Do you have anything you want to ask for later? I must tell you... Now I have less morning sickness. Feeling better than ever..." he teased, hinting at what they could do with his newfound energy later. It would, however, not last forever. Pregnancy symptoms were not a joke.
"Mh~? Maybe? I read that pregnant foxkins are very sensitive," Cyno said with a sing-song and wink. He rarely showed this side of himself, and thankfully, there weren't many people around them at the time. Because Tighnari had the same thought as him, he didn't have to feel bad about his own thoughts. "I think I already know where we're going," he added before returning to his meal as if nothing had happened.

Chapter Text

They practically dashed up to their room after dinner. Tighnari had his hands on Cyno's back, shoulder, and waist before Cyno could pull out their room key. He was looking him over, tail swishing playfully, ready to start. "Someone is quite excited about tonight."
"Are you talking about yourself?" Cyno grinned and pushed back his body towards Tighnari, teasing him for a moment as he opened the door. "Oh~? You really want to be alone with me, don't you?" The general did not deny his own reaction, already hard in his pants. He had to hold back for far too long in recent weeks and became fortunately busy enough not to think about him all night long with a hand in his pants.
"You're the one who dragged me here," Tighnari chuckled, flashing his canine teeth to tease him.

Cyno kicked the door shut behind them and pulled Tighnari in for a longing kiss, arms around the small body, exploring the hidden skin beneath the fabric.
Tighnari's fingers caressed the other's body, brushing against the lovely bronze skin on his torso. "Mmm.." his ears leaned back in shyness as he softly but sneakily bit down on Cyno's lip. As Tighnari slowly led them to the bed, he pushed the Mahamatra down onto the mattress and straddled his waist. "Has your work been engaging? Or were you thinking about me the entire time?"
"Mhh~ not a bit," he grumbled, putting his hands on his boyfriend's ass. "Whenever I could... I thought about you," Cyno continued quietly. "But work has been so annoying lately, keeping me busy most of the time." His tongue pinched in the soft skin of his lips. "Do you intend to do anything with me in this position?"
"I beg to differ," Tighnari laughed softly and sat up to give his lover a show. "Work sounds challenging, but I'll reward you for your commendable effort; you kept me waiting long enough, don't you think?"
The general raised an eyebrow, staring greedily at his boyfriend, and had to restrain himself from pushing him down. "A reward sounds tempting; I can't wait."
Tighnari’s eyes narrowed with delight as he extended his gloved hand for Cyno to bite. The foxkin was pleased as the glove slipped off as the other gripped the fabric between his teeth. He wiggled his hips into the crotch, grinding the hard flesh inside. It was rubbing up against his entrance.
"And... you know that later on in this pregnancy, this won't be as easy for me, so I want to give you what I have now before my body... changes." Teasing his pant line, Tighnari slid his bare finger down the center of Cyno's chest, all the way to his happy trail. The foxkin traced around the outline of his eager manhood like it was a fine, delicate treasure.

"Hng," Cyno moaned, biting his own lips to keep from getting too loud. It felt great to feel him again, but there was too much fabric between them and their true goal. "How much will your body... change as a result of this? I'm sure you'll turn me on even more than before." Another shiver followed, this time accompanied by goosebumps and his already aching erection inside his pants. This should be forbidden!

Tighnari may have had a few sadistic bones as he grinded away, giving Cyno a minor belly dance and arching his back. As his tail wrapped around Cyno’s leg, his fingers danced across the skin. "Oh, I'm not sure I'll look more appealing down the road, but I'll be fuller," he said as he lifted his hips to pull off Cyno's bottoms, displaying his hard manhood that sprung up in eagerness.
"Hah," the General roared, relieved that his hard one had been freed. “I don’t mind. You're beautiful regardless of how you look." Cyno is unconcerned about any changes; he loves Tighnari for his personality, not his appearance. "You're making me... ah..." he moaned, looking at him eagerly. "This is so hot..."

Tighnari’s lovely hand wrapped around the base as he leaned down to lick a stripe, his saliva coating the tip. "What am I doing to you? Am I... exciting you?" As he looked up, his eyelashes batted at Cyno.
Tighnari's hand made him moan louder, what a blessing to be followed by a warm tongue. Cyno lifted his hips, surprised at how much harder he could get, demanding more.
Tighnari was doing this for the first time, and Cyno loved every part of it. "How can you look so innocent while doing this?" Cyno questioned. This has got to be a sin. "It feels great... Don't stop," he added, surprised by Tighnari. His hard flesh twitched, pre-cum dripping. It showed that he had been holding back in previous weeks.

“Hey! I didn’t say you could move your hips, General Mahamatra. You must learn to obey doctor's orders or risk getting hurt." He flashed his canines once more, smiling innocently as he thumbed the tip, the pre-cum faintly squelching beneath.
Cyno bites his lower lip, almost a turn on coming from such a commanding voice.
"Hn... y-yes, Doctor," he replied, fighting the urge to thrust in his mouth. To get a better view of Tighnari, he lifted his upper body and supported himself on his arms.
Tighnari’s ears were able to pick up breathing and subtle noises. "You appear irresistible, but we will practice patience today." Tighnari slowed his movements and scooted lower on his legs to squeeze his thighs. He paused for a second before deciding to hover for a second to spread his legs and sit between them, his teeth sinking into the thighs, leaving loving marks. Fortunately, Cyno's uniform did not expose this area. "Look at you, you're already leaking..." His voice dropped to a sultry tone.
Following that, an almost satisfied yelp, not sure why it felt so good despite the pain. More blood immediately flushed between his legs. "F-fuck... Nari," he whined, his breathing labored. "Please, more..."

“Good. You're doing fine." He licked the wound while sucking on the supple skin. He had some healing properties in his saliva, similar to canines, as part of his foxkin kind. His fingers tightened around his thighs, nails digging into them. Possessiveness. That was a bad trait of his, but at times like this, he was jealous of Cyno leaving him and looking at others. He raised his head after determining that enough marks had been placed. "You're adorable... I didn't expect you to be a whiner, but I really enjoy it." He kissed Cyno on the lips.
O sweet pain, what a delightful pleasure. Cyno had no idea he was so sensitive, let alone the still growing erection in Tighnari’s hand. No one had ever treated him like that... not that he had sex with anyone before, but he liked it.
"Ah... y-yes," he moaned, throwing his head back. "Hah... I also didn't know... I would enjoy this," Cyno panted.

“Hey! Who said you could move your hips without my permission?” When Cyno tried to move his hips again, Tighnari crawled over, forcing him to lie down again. "Do you not care about my orders?"
Another groan followed, and Cyno fell silent for a moment, stopping breathing... he were almost close to coming.
"I... I do, but... oh god, please let me feel you! Do something!" He responded with another kiss, much more demanding on his side.
Tighnari sat just above his erection once more, backing up slightly to rub his ass against the hard flesh and tease him. Tighnari’s movements made him crazy, and Cyno could almost feel him. He moaned as he imagined burying his lonely erection inside the deep warmth of Tighnari.
The foxkin kissed him and caressed his cheek as he demanded. Cyno was tense. He was, too, but it was probably his work that caused his muscles to be tight all the time. He rolled his hips, as if Cyno were inside him, when in reality, he was so close yet so far away. His own erection was strained, but he'd be damned if he did come before serving his General. He lifted himself up to guide Cyno inside, slamming down on him once they were lined up. The Mahamatra almost screamed with delight, putting his hands on Tighnari's hips to hold him deep down.

Tighnari huffed, taking a breather from the big manhood filling his insides and stretching his skin. Their clothes were tossed aside as they fully embraced, allowing Tighnari to rock his hips. He moaned softly and began to bounce, his thighs struggling to lift up and down. “Hah… I was missing you... I missed this..." his stomach bulged slightly, larger than a normal pregnancy because he was carrying at least two. "So big..." he murmured. Cyno focused his gaze on Tighnari, examinding every inch of his body and noticing the slight bulge on his stomach.
"Ah..." moaned Cyno as his hand moved deeper, wrapping around the erection. "And I... thought it wasn't visible yet," he grinned, caressing the skin with his other hand as Tighnari moved on him. "I missed you too, Nari, and everything feels so... different now."
"Hah... it's quite small, only the size of a poppy seed," Tighnari panted as he continued. His tail thumped excitedly on the bed, ears wiggling with each bounce. He came to a halt a few times to grind on him, hands balanced on Cyno's torso. "You're bigger..." the creaking of the bed was heard, hopefully not through the walls.
"Then... I'm just going to make it bigger, hm?" Perhaps the desire to breed Tighnari came back but Cyno ignored it for the time being. And he wanted to fuck him, pull his tail, and pet his ears until Tighnari felt overstimulated. "And it feels... like I'm still growing inside you," he mumbled.

"Your bite marks are all gone." Tighnari leaned down, giving himself a break and breaking Cyno’s skin with his teeth. The marks would be replaced, with a warning to others to stay away from the Mahamatra. The general pushed deeper inside him before stopping again to allow Tighnari to place the new marks. It's the ideal time to fondle his ears. "Hnn... Nari... they will see it-"

Tighnari huffed as the length pushed deeper into him, pressing against the wall of his stomach; for a second, he found it extremely hot, but the next, he felt something moving up his throat. It gave him a wave of nausea and dizziness, and he bolted up, sliding the erection out and racing to the bathroom. This had never been an issue in his heat, but pregnancy was a different beast altogether. He hurled himself into the toilet, groaning as another wave of sickness washed over him. "Seriously? Now?" Was all Tighnari could think about.

Cyno was left alone, horny and confused, and he needed a moment to get rid of the heat within him and his burning erection. He gladly remembered what he had read, and perhaps going so deep so early in the pregnancy wasn't the best idea. The General grabbed the bedsheet and followed him.
"Are you okay?" he asked as he opened the door and approached his boyfriend with caution.
"I'm okay..." Tighnari was flushed, his tail curled around him and his ears dropped. He was so disappointed that his morning sickness decided to strike. "Sorry... I'm just feeling nauseous. Perhaps we can continue tomorrow? How long have you been-" The foxkin was unable to finish because he felt more travel up.

Cyno knelt next to Tighnari, wrapped the bedsheet around his shoulders, and gently rubbed his back. The Mahamatra felt bad seeing him like this, but he tried to help as much as he could.
"It's fine... Take your time if you're not feeling well," he said quietly, continuing to support him. "I'm planning on staying until tomorrow evening."
"Tomorrow evening? And how long will you be gone?" Tighnari was more accustomed to the morning sickness he experienced throughout the day and night, feeling lethargic and unable to focus for long periods of time. It was still terrible. He wondered if he'd have to go through the rest of the pregnancy mostly alone, with all the ups and downs without Cyno.
„Tighnari… That's something I'm not sure about. It could take a few days or weeks, but I'll make it as quick as I can." The emotional toll of a pregnancy was greater than expected. In Cyno's case, at least. He felt bad about his absence, but vowed not to abandon his duties as Mahamatra.
"Right, your responsibilities come first, especially so early in the pregnancy, and even after..." Yes, Tighnari would have his support, but he'd be a single parent for the most part. “Cyno… I'm thinking about moving to the desert. I know I'll miss this place, but I don't want to go through this alone."
"Wait... you mean straight to the desert?" In Cyno’s opinion, it was a hasty decision, but he didn't mind. „I thought being closer would be enough if you wanted to keep working, but I wouldn't mind moving in with you. Just... are you sure?"
"I'm not sure... It's just... I don't know," the foxkin said, holding his head in his hands as he pondered it further. Tighnari sounded so depressed… understandable. "I'm not dying alone, it's only pregnancy," he explained, but more for himself. To avoid emotional breakdowns, he had a rational side that would be in charge until the end. His hormones would almost certainly be fine.
"That doesn't mean you're any less important, Nari!" The general clarified. Maybe when things with the Eremits and everything else settle down, Cyno can look for someone who is similar to him and whom he can entrust these responsibilities to. Cyno couldn't bear the thought of his childs growing up and Tighnari going through this alone. "It should work if you take a break when you're ready and the kits are born... we can think about it any further later? Until then, you can stay with me and we'll see if we can find you a job near mine."
“I know, I know. Cyno, I'm not usually this emotional about these things. It's uncharacteristic of me. I try to be as rational as possible, but perhaps it's because I've never had anyone to connect with on a deeper level than my patients."

Tighnari flushed the toilet and slowly stood up to thoroughly brush his teeth. "I apologize for tonight. You are free to leave at any time. We are closer to the desert, so it will be easier for you."
Cyno helped Tighnari to get up and waited for him with his arms crossed.
"Why should I leave now?" he wondered, tilting his head, approaching Tighnari from behind. "I told you I'd be available until tomorrow evening."
"Don't worry. As I said before, I will think about it. Sorry about that... I guess it was an emotional breakdown, just ignore what I said. Rationally, I believe I will be fine. You should do whatever you need to do. I can handle both the kits and my job. I know a single mother with two children who works at a city theater. It is possible."

After washing his face, patting it dry, and finally twisting in Cyno's arms to face him, he felt better. Tighnari only felt guilty for being unable to complete what he started, what he desired, but if he tried again now, his morning sickness would undoubtedly flare. He was already feeling extremely tired.
"I'm still sorry for what I couldn't finish. I assumed you'd want to leave because I couldn't give you the rest of it right now." Tighnari gave a small smile, pressing his hand to Cyno's chest.
"Do you really think I'm only interested in sex?" Cyno asked hypothetically.
"However, thank you for staying. It is greatly appreciated. Should we stay in bed for the time being? I'm shaky on my feet."

They had known each other for years, and Cyno knew how Tighnari was and that he could handle anything, but Cyno didn't want him to be alone. It should be possible to be a family. Together. At one place.
„It's all right, Nari. I don't mind, you don't need to hide anything about yourself or the pregnancy," he explained, kissing his forehead. "I want to see my family grow, you know?" he added as he got back into bed with Tighnari.

"Family..." the word echoed inside Tighnari's head, causing warm flutters in his stomach. He subconsciously placed a hand over his flat stomach, remembering the kits, followed by Cyno’s hand to join. "They already have an amazing father." The affection brightened his eyes.
"We're both amazing parents," Cyno clarified, pausing for a moment to imagine the kits for his inner eye.
"I have you now. We'll work out everything for our schedule then." As his ears leaned back, he pressed himself against the Mahamatra, inhaling his scent. "How do you think they'll look, Cyno? White ears and hair?"
"One like you and one like me, and if they're more... mh," the General mused aloud, smiling. "More like you because you're beautiful and the kits should come after you more!"
“Haha, is that it? My boyfriend is also attractive in my opinion. I'd like to see resemblances of you, perhaps your eyes and hair."
"Oh, you're finally calling me your boyfriend?" he chuckled.
“Oh shush. We didn’t need an official document to know we are definitely not just friends.” Tighnari laughed softly.
Tighnari humming and stroking the white strands of hair before moving closer and entangling his limbs with Cyno's. Tighnari swept his bangs to the side to reveal his face while kissing his lips. "I'm sure you'll teach the kits your long dad jokes as well. I'm looking forward to hearing their groans in response to your explanations."

"Of course I will! When they're old enough, I'll teach them my great jokes and play Genius Inovaktion TCG with them!" Cyno has already planned what he will do with them. "This is furreal..."
"You're ruining a perfectly soft moment with your terrible dad jokes," Tighnari rolled his eyes. "However, TCG will be a difficult game to teach them so soon." He shook his head, still wrapped in warmth, at the silliness. "I can't believe we will soon have kits to hold..." As he spoke, the tail confidently snaked around Cyno's leg in possession; he hated to see him go tomorrow.

"This just reminded me that I really need to talk to Alhaitham now... Even though he is the best fit, I despise him as the Acting Grand Sage. He already knows, but we need to talk about it." Cyno sighed, unsure what he should say to Alhaitham after their last meeting in the Library. When they see each other, they start fighting, and no one can stop them if they are alone.
"Alhaitham is a confident man, and I can see why you might find him difficult. I trust your decision, but please keep in mind that these kits are not the end of your career. You'll be able to handle both when the time comes, and I'll always be around too. I don't want you to retire too soon." They kissed once more, this time Tighnari squeezing his hand.
"I'm not thinking about ending it, Nari. It's just about emergencies, possibly a vacation, and the fact that I have a family at the time. But I'm not sure everyone should be aware of it... it could be dangerous." Not to think about what happened when Eremits or whoever kidnapped someone…
"I think it's best if you don't tell anyone about the kits. I know that vengeance for the Scarlet King's resurrection was a lifelong devotion, so imagine that energy directed toward destroying the Mahamatra’s family. It would be terrifying for the kits to be concerned about their safety in such a dangerous manner."
Cyno bit his lower lip, thinking about the outcome, but hiding his family story would be the best option. For Tighnari and the kids.
"I really need to talk to him about this and make some plans. Better to be safe than sorry." As a result, only their closest friends will be aware of it. As long as no one notices the resemblance.

"Speaking of Alhaitham, it's been a while since I sat down and talked with him. How is he doing?"
"Mhh..., you saw him earlier. We talked for like 10 minutes before you came, so I don't know anything else. But it appears he now lives with Kaveh? I'm not sure if this is his boyfriend or not... he doesn't seem like someone to have a roommate after all. And I can't think of a single person who would date that jerk-"
"His personality appears to be straightforward. If you will, call it nonsensical. You used to date him, so why did you like him at first? Eye candy?" Tighnari teased him, gently rubbing his back while his ears twitched attentively.
"To put it bluntly? Yes. We were attracted to each other, but nothing really happened between us. Only some fiercely... well, I don't think it's something you wanted to hear," the Mahamatra cleared his throat, recalling the hot making out between them but shaking his head. Nothing he wanted to repeat as long as he had Tighnari.

The foxkin chuckled, not minding hearing about Cyno's previous relationship with someone like Alhaitham, especially since they never got any further.
"I believe the people in the rooms next to us have gone to bed. For the time being, we should put pillow talk on hold and go to bed as well."
Another kiss followed before they cuddled up again and closed their eyes.
"I hope you're feeling better. Good night, Nari."

They eventually fell asleep entangled in each other's arms, happy to be together.

Chapter Text

Tighnari’s gloved fingers tapped on the surface of his desk while his other hand scribbled words on a page. His ear twitched as he considered what to say next to his pups’ father. He couldn't believe it had been so long since he'd seen Cyno. It had been about a month, and his stomach had grown noticeably larger due to multiple kits living within him at the same time. He sat back and leaned back against his bump, rereading what he had written. The letter's content inquired about his whereabouts, expressing a desire to pay him a visit soon while he was at work. It was risky to make the request on paper, and even riskier to reveal the General's location, but it was worth a shot. Tighnari wanted to see him.
He sighed and folded the paper before slipping it inside the envelope. The melted wax inside the spoon was poured onto the flap's edge, sealing it shut. He pressed the wax and engraved a fox design inside. When it had cooled, he stood up with much effort and walked to his mailbox to have it delivered.
There was something else he wanted to tell Cyno that he couldn't write in a letter.

-

Tighnari had decided to travel to where he had last heard Cyno was located, asking for leads from the locals in Aaru Village once he had arrived and booked a place to stay after a week of no response. He took the initiative to wait for Cyno there, but trips to the desert were uncommon, especially given his current state. Harvesting Henna Berries wouldn't hurt anything, especially since he had run out in the previous month. The foxkin slung the satchel over his shoulder and began walking out to the sandy grains, picking them liberally. Unfortunately, these berries only grew on certain cacti that were widely separated from one another.

Tighnari was going about his business when he heard hard panting coming from a cave. His ears twitched, picking up on the muffled words.
"Treasure hunters stealing ancient ruins? Not if I can prevent it." He hid behind the large cacti and waited for them to emerge, then summoned his arrow to shoot one in the ankle and another in the hip. His intention was to immobilize them rather than kill them. He had no idea that these were the criminals Cyno was looking for the whole time as they exited the ruin through a different entrance.
Tighnari growled as someone approached him. "Do you think you can touch me?" Even though he was in his second term with multiple kits, he shot the enemy and practically spit on him as he took down their small team. "What do you think you're all doing? Looting ancient ruins in order to sell them for mora? There appears to be a lack of regard for research and morality." He couldn't possibly move them this far out…

It wasn't the first time this month or week, but the General Mahamatra had information about some eremits and treasure hunters hiding in a ruin with stolen goods. Nothing new or bad to him, and some of his men could have handled it on their own, but Cyno was too nice and gave them some time off to spend with their families.
It took Cyno a while to figure out how to get in and handle some of the first treasure hoarders that were left in the ruins. It was impossible to catch and return all of them, but he tried and drew the already caught ones behind him on a rope.
"You'd make it easier for me if you just waited... I'll get you after all!" yelled Cyno as he walked aimlessly through the ruins until he found a way into some cavern that led to the outside once more. "Are you kidding me?!"
The guys behind him were dragged along, with no chance of walking on their own. After all, the Mahamatra had to report this, and he was already planning how to explain how they escaped. But as soon as he stepped outside, he discovered the majority of them beaten on the sand.

When he saw the cause, his eyes widened.
"Nari!" he exclaimed, his mood brightening as he recognized his boyfriend already at his back. He hadn't seen him in a long time and had planned to take a break when all of his men returned from vacation, but this was a pleasant surprise.
As the rookies groaned in pain on the ground, Tighnari stood quietly, rubbing his chin in thought. "I thought I heard your voice muttering," he said, turning to face Cyno. His ears had reacted faster than he had, twisting around to pick up on the sound waves within the cave.

"What are you doing here?!" Cyno inquired, drawing closer. He literally walked above the guys on the ground and threw the others to them, completely ignoring them now. "Don't you despise the heat? What's the deal... you know! It's too risky for you to be here!"
"I came by to gather Henna Berries for medicine." The foxkin adjusted his satchel to show him everything he'd gathered thus far, nodding in response to his question. "The heat can be unbearable, but I haven't been doing anything hard to raise my body temperature. I certainly didn't expect to run into you or these thieves, but I guess I got a little too far away from the village. Even if I'm carrying, it won't deter obvious criminals. I need to keep my patients safe from the Fatui camps nearby. Is this debate necessary now, when you should be reporting the problem?" Tighnari clenched his fists on his hips and tilted his head, questioningly. These men were injured and lying in the hot sand. They needed to be properly detained and not suffer.

Cyno wanted to lift Tighnari, kiss and snuggle him, and whisper lovely words to him while talking to him, but it wasn't appropriate to show too much affection in front of the treasure hoarders. Instead of looking at the berries and satchel, his gaze was drawn to Tighnari's stomach. It's already visible, and as soon as he realizes it's his fault, he stops talking and clears his throat.
"Good work, I mean," he added, still on the lookout for any visible injuries or exhaustion. Tighnari’s pregnancy wasn't exactly a secret, but many people still don't know that Cyno is the father. "Of course. I simply hand them over to our acting grand sage, and he decides what to do." Cyno was able to make this decision on his own, but in some cases assistance was required.

Cyno turned and used the robe to bind them, allowing them to walk back into the city.
"One week in the desert is enough.." he murmured, smiling back at Tighnari.
Tighnari beams as he watches the thieves being dragged away.
“Alright. I'm on my way back now. Keep the arrows in place or the blood clot will be put at risk, resulting in severe blood loss." Tighnari wished he could at least touch Cyno, but there was no telling who else might be watching them from this distance, so he kept his hands to himself, acknowledging his words as he walked away. He smiled briefly before turning away to return to the inn with his freshly packed berries.

Tighnari sat in the inn, waiting for Cyno, whenever that happened to be. The desert was nice, but the food supply was nowhere near as plentiful as it was in the city. He'd cook a meal for them tonight, plus one if Cyno arrived soon.

-

Tighnari placed the plate on the small table provided, sat in the chair, and began eating the meal bit by bit when he heard footsteps approaching his door, followed by a knock. He couldn't help but smile as he practically jumped out of his chair to greet Cyno, his tail wagging behind him quickly, nearly knocking over a glass of water. When the door finally opened, Cyno's white hair was still wet from showering in the Academiya before coming here.
“Cyno.” He greeted him and quickly drew him inside, closing the door with haste.
“How was the report? All right, I take?" His arms quickly wrapped around the other's neck, nuzzling his nose against his neck.
"Someone seems eager," he smiled, placing his hands on Tighnari's hips. "Mostly. That jerk told me, Don't let your wife do your work! As if it's my fault you got them before me!"
“Is that so? Alhaitham’s always been a straightforward man. But, wife? Because we are not married, I am more like your boyfriend." Tighnari cocked his head back and looked at Cyno.

Seeing Tighnari dispelled the dark clouds, he finally drew him completely into his arms, carefully as he suddenly felt the small belly. When Cyno's hands only touched his hips, Tighnari thought he was being too hasty with his actions, but relief washed over him when he was hugged back.
"How long have I gone? It looks like I have missed a lot."
"Two months. Pregnancy is only nine months long in total, and even less with multiple. There is no need to be concerned. Collei has always been there to help me when I needed it. Heh! You're touching me as if I were made of glass. Any creature capable of creating life has a tough body. The stomach naturally hardens to protect the baby inside."
"I still can't believe this is... are mine," Cyno finally said, his cheeks flushing softly as his hands moved to his boyfriend's belly. Tighnari took a step back to allow Cyno to feel the bump, allowing his arms to fall to his sides as he felt the hard roundness of the exterior. He was aware that the size was not particularly large, but the weight was already causing minor back aches.

Any further examinations had to be delayed because Cyno wasn't any less needy when he drew his boyfriend in for a longing kiss. The foxkin opened his mouth to say something else, but his lips were met by a deep, greedy kiss that literally stole his breath. He closed his eyes and returned the longing kiss, his hand resting on Cyno's cheek. He missed this. He was missing him.

Cyno still kissed Tighnari as he led him to the bed. Tighnari trusted him as they moved, focusing less on his stepping and more on their lips connecting.
"I missed you..." the General said softly to his lips, not letting go of him. "Wanted to do this... already in the desert," he added, smiling at the kiss, before softly pushing Tighnari onto the bed and finally letting go for a moment to kneel down. Cyno still had to hold back. Tighnari’s back legs hit the edge of the bed as he flopped down with a small “oof.” He watched Cyno eye him like prey, a smile creasing.
"Do you mind?" Cyno asked, pushing the fabric up to reveal the small belly. Cyno was overly excited and couldn't decide whether he should keep kissing his boyfriend or examine his belly.
"Don't let me put a stop to you." Tighnari spread his legs to allow Cyno's form to fit between them, giving him better access to what he was after. His pale-skin, baby bump was revealed in all its roundness beneath the layers of fabric. Perhaps he did appear more pregnant without his outfit concealing the pregnancy as much. "They've been moving a lot recently, but I'm not sure you can feel it yet. It's early on... ah! When I first felt them, it was a truly wonderful and euphoric experience."

"Your clothes really hide a lot," the Mahamatra noticed, but this did not deter him from continuing. With a big smile on his lips, he leaned forward to place a soft kiss on the belly and stroke above the skin before pushing an ear towards. "Hmm..." Cyno said, but they appeared to be very shy at the time, and Cyno couldn't feel or hear anything. "And I was not with you..." he sighed, but they already knew that. He wouldn't be around most of the time... at least not during the pregnancy.
“Their small movements couldn’t have been felt by you anyways,” Tighnari chuckles and brushes away the sad tone, lifting a hand to string through the pearly bangs while leaning on the other arm for support.
"I have something else to tell you! It's about the kits..." Tighnari paused and played with Cyno's hair.
"Is there something wrong with them?!"
"Everything is fine; they are in good health. It's exactly as I predicted... we'll have more than one." Cyno smiled and looked at his boyfriend for a moment, expecting the further response.
"We're having twins," Tighnari said shyly, nervously pulling on his hair.
Cyno's eyes widened in surprise and joy. "Twins?! That’s fantastic news, Tighnari! I can't wait to be a father to two little kits."
Tighnari's heart swelled with joy at his boyfriend's unhidden feelings. He knew Cyno would make an excellent father, and he couldn't wait to start their family together.

"And..." Cyno began, turning his head. "You look so sexy right now..." he said as he kissed his belly again, this time without breaking eye contact. Tighnari's spine shivered as he felt his warm breath on his skin. In that moment, he couldn't help but smile, feeling desired and wanted. After hearing the information about the twins, Cyno didn't care to hold back anymore.
“Sexy? I certainly do not believe so. It's been an exciting ride, Cyno. The kits begin to hear after 18 weeks. They can hear my heartbeat and will eventually hear our voices, so be careful what you say," he teased, rubbing one leg against his side.
"Mhh..." Cyno looked at him thoughtfully, but eventually began to grin. "I'm pretty sure they won't understand what we're talking about... but I can keep quiet if you prefer." He winked at his boyfriend and continued to whisper a kiss to his belly. "Do you hear what I'm saying, little ones? Your mother will not accept my compliments," he chuckled.

"You assume far too much." Though his words were bland, it was clear he was joking, sitting still as Cyno spent quality time with the twins. "On the contrary, speak up more. They must become acquainted with your voice in order to be soothed by it once they are born."
"I'm here for them all! Soon, I'll be able to tell them all of my jokes! So, little ones, what's another name for twins?" he asked, grinning and waiting for an answer, obviously not getting one. "You will get this when you are born, but now you're wombmates!" Cyno talked to them as if they were already born and smirked at his own jokes, but he didn't expect Tighnari to respond.
Tighnari sighed exasperatedly, a tired expression on his face. "I'm putting a limit on the number of times you can tell the same joke. It's only available three times, so use it wisely. Come on over here, you big lummox. The twins may be sick of your jokes, but they'd appreciate it if you gave their mother a massage..." He leaned forward to rebalance himself, placing his hands on either shoulder and pressing the brows together. "They'll only get bigger... And because these are kits, their hearing will be superb."

"Oh, you're going to answer for them? I'm sure they're not sick of my jokes!" He pouted, but pushed that thought aside, deciding to take better care of Tighnari. "You want a massage?" Cyno stood up, sounding thoughtful, only to take a seat behind Tighnari. He leaned in closer to his ear, hands on his shoulders. "Will they hear me whispering to you?" he asked quietly. "I read that it's even more simulating when you're pregnant and having sex." He can't deny that he missed Tighnari and that not touching him would be a waste.
"Did you also know that hormones actually increase libido during this stage of pregnancy for the majority of mothers? Apart from the nausea and morning sickness, I've noticed an increase... You are welcome to put that fact to the test. But I must warn you, my body has undergone changes. You might not be used to them or even enjoy them. It's a normal part of pregnancy, but I understand if it's too much for you." The foxkin felt insecure, and he would feel bad if Cyno retreated at the sight of his naked body now. Tighnari craved his touch after being away for so long, and he wished they could share the pregnancy joys together. He tried to document what he could about the babies with the camera.
"Does it? So... did you retreat to the desire while I was away?" he asked, his hands slowly massaging Tighnari's shoulders for the time being.
"That's a rather personal question," he said, pouting and crossing his arms as if Cyno hadn't impregnated him. "I had one or two, but it wasn't satisfying, and I couldn't stick to it long enough..."
"Another reason it's a shame I wasn't there. I really need my men to return from their vacation," Cyno chuckled. "However, I hope you thought about me." Tighnari wasn't the only one; Cyno had days when he didn't have enough energy and was horny from his own thoughts about Tighnari.
“And who else could possibly cross my mind when your kits are currently squishing my organs?” Tighnari tried to sound annoyed, but Cyno's hands on his shoulders made him smirk and sigh. They'd finally have time to spend quality time together.

Chapter Text

"It's still new to me, but if I have to figure out what changed on my own," Cyno explained, letting his hands wander.
Tighnari hummed in delight, clearly enjoying the massage. Soft moans escaped his lips as the tension in his muscles was rubbed away, putting him at ease. "Do you mean you're going to look at what's changed? Perfect for the job you have, Cyno." The foxkin raised his arms to aid in the removal of the material, his breasts slightly larger than before to accommodate feeding their kits. He shivers in response to the cold air brushing against him, folding his arms over his chest and turning away.
When he saw his boyfriend like this, the Mahamatra smirked and cocked his head, forgetting his good manners.
"Are you getting shy now?" he wonders as he approaches, letting one hand wander down his arm, slowly to reach his chest.
"..." Cyno came to a halt for a brief moment, but instead of being shocked, he began to knead the soft skin, teasing the sensitive nipples. He was already getting hard when he entered the room, so he shoved his crotch closer to Tighnari to show that everything was fine.

Tighnari's sassy voice had become a little quieter as Cyno took his time exploring him, tentatively moving his arms away.
"They're not too big. In any case, it won't be enough for two kits." His ears leaned back as he was greeted with silence, biting his bottom lip. Tighnari couldn't help but melt into the touch and moan loudly when Cyno touched it there. It was different but enjoyable. “Cyno….” He called for him and scooted closer to the bed's edge, wanting to be as close to that crotch as possible.
"But they're soft," the Mahamatra noticed, and he let his other hand join in, exploring the new territory. He spread his legs and placed them right and left beside Tighnari, drawing him closer in between to rub against his back as much as possible with the tail. His lips moved to Tighnari's shoulder, kissing and softly biting the skin there. While one hand continued to explore Tighnari's chest, the other moved lower... Fingers are moved above the belly button and much deeper into the waistband.
Tighnari trembled in his arms and leaned back, moaning softly. His tail was happily wagging between them both, occasionally whacking Cyno. He eventually grabbed his tail, pinning it down so he could be flesh against Cyno's chest. His hand grasped the top of his lover's, dragging it down his baby bump and to his thighs, trembling in anticipation of what was to come.

Both were ecstatic, and Cyno wanted to make the most of it... but as he reached deeper, he couldn't stop himself and placed his hand between Tighnari's legs, feeling the same excitement. "Mh, your pants are still in the way," he said, lifting him a little on his own legs to get rid of the bothersome fabric right away.

Tighnari helped him take off his pants, feeling the bed fabric against his bum. He huffed as he sat on Cyno's leg, moving to press a hand on his stomach as he felt the twins move. Their dad was finally here, they must be aware.
"Cyno..." he said softly, reaching a hand back to drag along the bronze thigh. His ears leaned back in shyness as he snuggled within the warmth for a moment before his lower half ground and rubbed against his leg. He rolled his hips, creating pleasurable friction.
"Are you feeling alright?" Cyno asked, even though he could feel his reaction, goosebumps from the soft touches. Tighnari's actions right now made him even more horny.
"I am... the babies are shifting, that is all." He explained calmly, smiling softly and pressing his ass against him.
"Oh... I'm sure they'll be happy when their mommy gets some pleasure," Cyno said, continuing to grind against his ass and assisting the foxkin by taking his erection in his hand and whispering to his ear once more. "I want to... fuck you all night... I can't stop myself."
Tighnari's mind was focused on Cyno's magical hand, which hardened his penis and caused it to twitch in his hand. He wanted Cyno to fuck him. Yes. He had waited long enough for the other back in the forest and longed for him. His body was only now starting to feel good, allowing him to do things like this.
"Then don't hold back... or have those missions exhausted you? Show me how you earned the title of General Mahamatra."

"I hope you're fully awake," Cyno said, fiddling with the tip and grinning. Finally, he shifted to undressing his own pants, releasing his lonely manhood. "As if I'm tired," he remarked, shifting their positions to get over Tighnari, kissing him, lifting one of his legs and fumbling his way to his entrance... inserting one finger. "Hng..."
"Ah… hah…" Tighnari panted, pre-cum already spilling out. "I am... I am... ready for you," he teased Cyno's erection before their positions flipped. His back was relaxed against the sheets, and he smiled up at Cyno. His lips were attacked and he could feel the stretch of his leg before he could reach for a small pillow to help support his back. As he felt the heavenly finger pushing against his tightened walls, he moaned into the other's mouth. His muscles had returned to their normal closure as a result of his recent inactivity inside. “Cyno…!” He tried hard to keep up with the kissing, mimicking the motions.

Cyno gladly decided to prepare his boyfriend before entering him completely. He couldn't make his own lube because he wasn't a hydro user, so he had to be extra careful with this. "Mh," he sighed, playing with Tighnari's tongue and slowly moving his finger. "Were you... always so... hah... tight?" he asked, more teasing than anything else because this made him even more horny.
"Mm... must be your fault..." Tighnari murmured, chuckling softly, a moan breaking his teasing tone. “Let my… body get lonely, hm?”
"I'm sorry... I won't be... away for that long anymore," Cyno said. This was part of his plan when his men returned.
It didn't take long for the Mahamatra to insert another finger and begin widening his hole. Meanwhile, he rubbed his own erection against Tighnari's and grabbed both. Tighnari reached up and wrapped his arms around Cyno's shoulders, his hands grabbing and tugging at the white hair. Tighnari arched his back to stimulate them, rubbing their cocks against each other. "Welcome back.. I've missed you..."
"Mhh... I'm home," he added, inserting a third finger, reaching deep inside his body, and moaning loudly.

"It's alri— ah..!" Tighnari trembled in his arms and clenched tighter as the General brushed against a sweet spot for him. His nails dug into the smooth plain of his back, causing tears to well up in his eyes as a result of the constant stimulation. Cyno growled at Tighnari’s nails, which hit exactly the right spot at the right time. His finger remained there for a brief moment and teased a little longer. The kiss ended and Cyno slid down with his lips, licking above the plump nibbles to suck on them.
Tighnari wasn't expecting to have his sensitive buds sucked, and his breathing jerked in surprise. "A-aren't those for the kits?" He gently pokes fun at him and wraps his legs around Cyno's waist. Leaning back, he rubbed his ears against the pillows.
"Hng..." Cyno grinned as he softly bit into the sensitive nipples. "It's... delicious, Nari..." His fingers fucked his boyfriend wide open, and he switched to the other side of his breast while his fingers were gradually replaced by the tip of his manhood, holding back so as not to push in completely.

Tighnari's head felt dizzy, as if he were barely holding on to reality. "Sh-should we move here?" He asked between breathless moans. He meant "we" as in the kits and himself. After a month away from Cyno, he discovered his inability to cope without him. He wanted to see him at least every other week. Collei was growing up and gradually regaining her confidence; it was only a matter of time before she could be considered the Forest Watcher's deputy. He'd had to conduct interviews in order to fill his position. In the meantime, he could build a house in the desert and reconnect with the Amurta darshan, strengthening their bonds.
Cyno hadn't expected such a question; he was clearly preoccupied at the time and needed some time to understand what Tighnari meant.
"I'm about to... fuck your brain out, and you're... thinking about moving...", he said with heavy breathing, but a smile appeared on his lips and he slowly slid inside his boyfriend, who nodded in response. "Let's talk about this... later... I have... good news for you..." he continued.

The member coaxed the foxkin inside as he became a tight cock sleeve for Cyno. At first, his walls clenched around his lover, making it difficult for him to move, but he gradually became more at ease with the sensation, loosening enough for him to push deeper.
Cyno paused and took a deep breath before coming too soon. He can't remember Tighnari being this tight the first time they had sex. Probably due to the heat...? Due to the morning sickness, it was difficult to have sex when he came over after that.
“Mmm..! Okay... just be careful... for the kits." Tighnari’s nails scratched downwards as he warned him in hushed tones.
"Won't... hurt them", the Mahamatra moaned, finally able to move. He also tried some different angles he read about to make Tighnari and the kits more comfortable.
"It feels so good..." Tighnari lifted his head to rub his muzzle against his shoulder, sniffing at the spot where a mate's scent gland would normally be. He licked the skin before flashing his canines and sinking his teeth into it.
"Ah… hng... Nari," he panted and thrust deeper into him, using the shoulder pain as an excuse. "F-fuck... this is way too good..." He was careful not to put too much weight on Tighnari's stomach... Then switching positions should work for another round.

The foxkin smiled and pushed Cyno back so he could look him in the eyes. He kissed his lips and waited for him to readjust before reattaching his lips to his shoulder and kissing the wound.
“Deeper…!” He pleaded, wanting to be completely filled by his boyfriend and his seeds, coating his insides. His tail thumped on the bed before wrapping possessively around Cyno. "You're so... big... and nice." His hand smoothed over his cheek again before reaching for his ass.
Tighnari's wish was eagerly granted, and Cyno fucked him deeper, almost forgetting how strong his tail can be, and with his hand on his ass he aimed for another angle, suddenly getting much deeper than before.
"I... had to wait too long... I'm so close," Cyno panted, rocking his hips against him. "Show me more... how much you want me," he demanded, but he rushed inside Tighnari, filling him with the first load of the night. "Ahh..." Instead of stopping, he continued, using his own cum to fuck deeper.

Tighnari could almost see stars as Cyno was balls deep inside him, perfectly scratching every itch he had. No one could satisfy him like he could, which made Tighnari proud of his non-Alpha. He was used to this due to his heat, not making a break and Cyno already starting to get hard inside him again.

Their hips rubbed up against each other, their skin slapping together and making a sound as they huffed and moaned. Tighnari cried out, his toes curling, as Cyno brushed up against another sweet spot, then his prostate. His legs were trembling from the impact, making him dizzy. He couldn't imagine how deep his partner could go, but he was almost certain he could see the cock outline.
"Cy-Cyno~" So soon, his voice was scratchy. When his eyes rolled to the back of his head, his volume only increased as his orgasm ripped through him and stole his vision for a few seconds. The constant thrusting jolted him back to reality, whining about the overstimulation but not daring to stop it.
If Tighnari wouldn't be already pregnant Cyno would have changed that by now. He searched for Tighnari’s lips again, kissed him eagerly, and panted against these sinful lips, certain that the kits inside would get a free massage from this.
"Tight..... So tight." He felt more stimulation from Tighnari orgasm and hit his prostate harder.
"Oh fuck... fuck...!" Tighnari felt hot all over and chills rising on his skin. His eyes teared up as he tried to keep up, but without the rush of his heat, he didn't have the energy, especially since part of his energy was going to the kits.

"Hmm~ I really want you... Can you turn around and get on your knees?"
“Hng, yes... hah..." Tighnari panted, kissing Cyno a few times before gently pushing him away to flip over. He wiggled his ass beneath him, turning over on his hands and knees, his ass bare for his lover. His tail wagging eagerly and his ears perked up as he leaned down on his elbows to arch his back and give him a show. "I'm completely yours... Show me to whom I belong." He peered over his shoulder, his lashes twitching.
Cyno licked his lips as he took in the beautiful view. It was definitely better when he wasn't responsible for the belly with the kits. He slapped one of Tighnari's ass cheeks, reached for the tail, pulled it closer, and kissed down his spine. As soon as Tighnari started leaking his sperm, he pushed against him, inserted his already hard erection, and thrust deep inside him again. "Hah... it's all mine."

"It's all... yours." Tighnari crooned, his hole moist from the overflowing seeds. His vocals whimpered, whining as his tail was yanked, his hands tightly gripping the bed sheets. “Argh…! Ah... so big..." he muttered to himself, rocking back against him as his tail waved furiously in front of Cyno. The cum dripped down his pale, milky thighs from his hole. His manhood was also sticky and pulsing with excitement. Tighnari believed he could be bred again from every load of Cyno's he took if it was possible. “Yours~”

"Next time you're in heat... I'm gonna... continue," Cyno said, not minding filling his butt and making more kits. Tighnari's eagerness at the moment, helpless and thirsty for his boyfriend, was sexy. The Mahamatra leaned fully above Tighnari, one hand around his hip to milk the leaking member, the other playing with Tighnari's filled breast, attempting to milk him there as well. He was free to leave marks on his neck this time, not just in places where no one could see him. Everyone will know he's the father once the babies are born.
Though it wouldn't be much, the possibility of milk leaking from his nipples was high. He'd have to save as much as he could, though, so the kits wouldn't constantly deplete the supply once they were born. Yes, he became embarrassed when his breasts were massaged, eliciting a long sigh from his lips. How did Tighnari come to have such a strong, long-lasting boyfriend? Their relationship appeared to be backward in terms of traditional dating, marriage, moving in, and then kids, but they began with the kits, moving in, dating, and marriage eventually. His ears were pressed against his head, his cheeks were flushed, and his tongue was hanging out.

When Cyno was about to come again, his finger played along the nipples, and a hard thrust continued. "Nari...," he panted, burying his penis balls deep once more, cum spurting inside.
Another moan escaped Tighnari’s throat, a hand reaching up to cover Cyno's that was kneading his breast. He held it there as they continued the rhythm, his eyes squeezing tight as he felt the hot cum spread throughout, his own cock twitching and releasing streams of white. A drop of milk dribbled from his nipples onto Cyno's hand. Getting the skin wet. Cyno grinned triumphantly, and drew both of his hands back to lick cum and milk off them. "Delicious," he said.

“Cyno!” He yelled in delight, euphoria overtaking him. He wasn't sure if he needed a break or if he wanted to keep going. His fluffy tail had wrapped around the General as tightly as it could. “One more time..?” In a small whine, he inquired. His back arched and his hips backed up against him, rubbing. Internally, his walls clenched and pulsated around the softened manhood.

Chapter Text

Cyno was about to pull back, but nothing more needed to be said because of the claiming tail and the tightening around his manhood. The General rolled to the side and drew Tighnari into his arms while lifting one of his legs. Tighnari snatched some of the cushions to make himself more comfortable.
"You aren't getting enough of me, hm?" he asked playfully as he began to move slowly.
Tighnari exclaimed, leaning in and helping him keep his leg up. "Not yet," he said, reaching back to place a hand on Cyno's hip. Cyno wrapped one arm under and around Tighnari to keep him close, his other hand resting on Tighnari's breasts but not teasing him again for the time being.
“I have a lot more stored… the time was lonely without you.”

"I missed you as well... they missed you as well... they've", Tighnari's words were interrupted by a soft moan before he continued. "They keep me awake with morning sickness..." He was tired and horny, so he was providing the backbone of the work for Cyno by gently rubbing his hips and thighs. The tail remained draped across Matra's muscular body, jostling with each jerk of their bodies. "Mhh... you feel so good... ah~"
Cyno moved much more slowly and romantically, but at a steady pace.
"I love you... around me," he purred, reaching for another angle, thrusting hard, and stopping the next moment. "Say my name."

Tighnari's eyes widened as the pleasure faded, and he looked up at his boyfriend, confused, as best he could from this angle of view.
"Cyno... my lummox," he chuckled softly before morphing it into another moan. "You have me... all yours~"

Cyno refrained from making a joke at that moment.
"Such a handsome fox," he replied before continuing on moving. It took him a lot for remaining slow before pressing completely towards him, fucking deeper and faster. The foxkin choked as he was shaken abruptly, whining and wriggling in his arms, his stomach and penis rubbing against Cyno.
The hand that had been resting on Cyno's hip shifted to cradle the baby bump, smoothing over the hard roundness. His breathing was shallow, his moans echoing off the walls of the inn. "Ah... Cyno." Tighnari felt close even though it hadn't been long; his manhood was twitching and leaking.

"Come for me, Nari," groaned the General. "I won't stop now." He'd already come twice and planned to last a little longer this time.
“B-but… I can’t come before… you!” Tighnari objected, his body trembling like a leaf.
"You will come before me," Cyno said quietly in his ear. He enjoyed teasing the foxkin.
Despite Tighnari's wishes, his Erection betrayed him by leaking white streams onto his creamy thighs and bedsheets. As his eyes rolled to the back of his head, he huffed and gripped what he could tightly. Cyno's scent, along with his arms, was lulling him into a state of relaxation. “Hmm…~”
The Tail thumped gently against the other's side as he snuggled up to his boyfriend and pushed back to help pleasure Cyno and help him come deep inside him again.
"Hnn... Nari~!" cried Cyno, goosebumps appearing due to the soft feeling of Tighnari's tail. "I love you," he said softly, kissing his cheek.

Archons, Cyno knew how to turn a fox on.

They stayed in that position for a little bit and Tighnari allowed Cyno to cockwarm while the General cuddled his face in Tighnari’s hair.
"You're so cheeky, and I love you too." Tighnari huffed before pulling away, twisting around to face Cyno and creating space between them for his baby bump. After their parents' activities, the kits were on the move.

Cyno felt something when he put his hand on Tighnari's belly. His eyes widened, and sparks could be seen in them.
"Did they just...?"
"Can you feel how they're moving?" The foxkin smiled as he watched Cyno's adorable reaction, how his face lit up when he felt their kits. "Hehehe, they're greeting you, dad. When they grow larger, you will be able to see them kick."
“I can!” Cyno smiled as he leaned in closer. "Good day, little ones... I hope I didn't wake you up with our workout," he said to the belly, letting his hand wander, overjoyed to finally be able to be around. "Your Daddy is here, and he takes good care of your mommy." If he wasn't already head over heels in love with Tighnari, he'd fall in love again, and he couldn't wait for the twins to be born.
"Very good care," Tighnari hummed softly, closing his eyes and allowing Cyno to feel all over his stomach, happy to finally be with him in a soft moment. They were all present.

Tighnari would stay here this time and wait for General Mahamatra to finish his week's tasks.
"Oh, before I forget... you mentioned some good news earlier. What exactly was it?"

Chapter Text

"That's right. The reason I've been gone for so long... I gave all of my men time off for vacation and family time. So I spent extra time and days in the desert. I also attempted to speak with Haitham but was unable to find a time when we were both available. I want new people to work for me as well, but mostly so that I can take enough time off as soon as you and the kits need it for when they're born, and of course the last trimester...", Cyno explained, nodding. "You also mentioned moving closer, which is something I wanted to discuss with Haitham too... a perfect space for us. Near my and your workplaces."

Tighnari listened intently, his ears twitching. His heart was warmed by the sweet gestures and what Cyno was attempting to do for their soon-to-be family.
"Well, in that case, I hope something works out. Thank you for being so understanding. It's comforting to know that my boyfriend is concerned about me and our kits. I hope Alhaitham looks into helping us find a home that is in the right location for us. I'll try to work longer hours as a forest watcher to earn more Mora, but I'll try not to overcharge my patients. It's tough to pay."

"Don't worry about Mora!" Cyno exclaimed, instantly concerned for Tighnari's well-being. "Please do not take additional shifts and overwork yourself with the kits. I've saved a lot and am paid well for my position," he explained. "I didn't have to pay rent these years because I'm the General Mahamatra, and I was able to save the majority of it... so it's fine if you keep up your pace."
"Ah.. Cyno, that Mora is yours, yours to spend on whatever you want. Mora is not a problem for me. Put the Mora to another custom card of TCG instead. I can afford it, after all, I'm the one who wants to relocate, right?" Tighnari smiled brightly and shifted to a sitting position. As tired as he was, a warm bath was in order to relax the tight muscles below. "I'm not going to overwork myself. As a former Amurta student and current forest watcher, I am aware of my limitations. I wouldn't be so stupid as to endanger the kits. So be it if it takes me longer to raise the Mora."

"I'll spend it on whatever I want! Because I'm going to spend it on our family. And I can still afford one or two special TCGs cards... even with autographs if I want!" Cyno declared, convinced. "It's just... we can pay together, okay? If you want, you can pay it back when you're feeling better, but for now, we should focus on what's best for the kits." And if Mora is still left, Cyno would appreciate having his own room for his TCG cards...
"I'll take you up on your second offer. What kind of mother am I if I can't afford things for my kits?" Hearing of the specially signed cards, the foxkin rolled his eyes, a hand reaching out to lightly slap his leg. "Yes, you and your limited edition cards will marry one day. Our children and I will cheer on the happy union from the sidelines."
Married to his cards?
"I'll get married someday," Cyno admitted. "But not to my cards... at least not only to them," he joked. He now had two significant things in his life. His family and the cards, but he prefers Tighnari and the kits. And who says he can't have it all? "I was also asked to model for a TRC advertisement! This is also extra money!"

-

Cyno stretched and looked down at Tighnari and the bed.
"I should change the sheets, and then we should go to the bathroom," he suggested.
Tighnari tested his leg strength before standing and waddling to the bathroom.
"You can order the room service... I'd rather not be present when they change it." After all, it was embarrassing.
The General watched Tighnari get up and ensured he could walk properly.
"Alright, room service. Then wait for me."

Cyno had only just finished cleaning himself and had forgotten to dress when he called for the service. He couldn't tell if it was good or bad that he opened the door like that. He closed it as quickly as he opened it after grabbing a towel. Tighnari was luckily already in the bathroom, which he also walked to as soon as he let the roomservice in.

Tighnari closed the bathroom door after turning on the water and filling the tub. As he waited, he cleaned the excess cum from his private parts and sensitive skin areas, glancing up as Cyno entered.
"They definitely know what we were up to when you were walking around with only a towel wrapped around you." Tighnari grabbed his tail and brushed it as best he could, his bathroom luggage on the counter. He needed the right oils and treatment for his fur as a foxkin.
"Perhaps I should mention that I forgot I was naked when I first opened the door?" He didn't mind if people saw him naked, but even if he was clean, he must have looked a little ragged. "Besides... isn't that what most people do in hotel rooms?" He shrugged and walked over to Tighnari. The towel fell to the floor, and he turned his head to look at his hair and around the counter for something to tie his hair up with.
"Are you showing off your body to others now?" Tighnari teased him while dipping his toes in the warm water. He sat inside, carefully sinking down and sighing in relief as the warm water soothed him. Tighnari rested his arms on the bathtub's sides, his chin on top of his hands.
"Jelly?" Cyno teased back. He made a high ponytail for the bath while keeping an eye on Tighnari. His hair would only be distracting for the time being.

"Did your hair grow longer?" Tighnari suddenly asked.
"Probably... I haven't cut them in a month. I think I like them better this way?"
“You look handsome. A small trim would help, making you look a little less ragged considering you've been in the sweltering desert for quite some time. Come on in before the water gets cold. If I'm taking a freezing bath, I can't promise I'll stay out of pity."
"Perhaps you're right. I'll think about it... or are you interested in helping me?" Cyno asked before finally joining his boyfriend in the tub. He sat down behind Tighnari and drew him back into his arms.
"You want me to trim your hair?" It wouldn't be a problem because he already cut his own hair and tail. He required more grooming than the average human.
"If there's anyone I can trust with my hair, it's you. However, don't make them too short! This length suits me."
"I will not, I will not. I wouldn't want to ruin it myself. With your long hair, you look very attractive. I'm curious how it'd look braided and swept to one side. Collei would be delighted to do so. She is shy around others, but it appears to be a useful skill to have for when she has more friends."
"Braided?" Cyno loved hearing that idea from Tighnari, and he's lucky that his boyfriend likes his long hair as well. "I'm not sure if this would suit me?" But if Collei had fun with it, he would let her try... only for the time being, and not to show it to anyone else.

As their bodies collided, the water sloshed around them, Tighnari’s tail heavy with water as he leaned against Cyno's front.
“Anyway about earlier… I'm not jealous. They are not the ones who are pregnant with your kits and are in this room with you. I'm a higher priority than they are and will always be." Tighnari spoke confidently, grabbing his hands and intertwining their fingers. "My hole hurts."
The water was pleasantly warm, which helped to relax their muscles. Cyno leaned his head against Tighnari's shoulder and eagerly joined their hands.
"So I can't tease you this way, mh? Too bad," he chuckled. "But you're right... and, besides, I didn't do it on purpose." Tighnari's other hand reached for his belly, stroking the skin beneath the water and even returning to his breasts. Cyno couldn't stop himself from touching him. "I'm sorry," he apologized, feeling exposed for his upcoming thoughts. "I should hold back more next time..."

"Speaking of Collei... I've been meaning to bring this up! She wants to attend the upcoming Windblume festival. Do you remember Amber and Kaeya, her friends from there? It would be helpful for her, but this trip is solely for socializing, not for business. I'm just worried she'll have trouble fitting in during the festivities." The foxkin continued, flying over the self-control issue, though he had guided Cyno's hands back to his breasts because it felt good. They were tender, and the massaging made him happy.
"Windblume?" he wondered. "Of course, Mondstadt! I understand, mh...", Cyno thought for a moment before following the guide and massaging his stuffed breasts. "Since I'll be getting some free time soon, why not join her? I mean, I wouldn't be able to sleep if she had to go alone." And it was most likely a good way to play TCG. "And, I mean... we could have a date there."

“Good. So you're on board. It's only a month away. Before we leave, you'll have some time to sit and do nothing. I'll be...," he paused to quickly do the math in his head. "Not bad at all… at 24 weeks. We will stay for a week to participate in activities and allow Collei to bond with others. Who knows, maybe they'll have plants I can bring back with food properties for healing patients and extending the break between symptoms."
Tighnari moaned as the breasts were desperately needed, silently thanking Cyno in his mind. He hoped they'd have a good time there and even more fun making new friends for Collei.
"I think I need to wash your back." The Forest Watcher mumbled, eyes already drooping.

Was Tighnari talking about having fun at the festival or working there? Cyno wondered, not that he minded if Tighnari was looking for new plants and other items for his job, but wasn't this supposed to be a fun activity?
"Sounds good... so you also have another intention than Collei and the festival," Cyno said, without revealing what he was up to. Meeting new people and hoping to find that special someone... yeah, this was a good idea. Perfect.

Cyno didn't stop when he heard Tighnari moan and whispered a kiss on his cheek... at least where he could reach. "My back? But it's really comfortable right now, and these are so... soft." Cyno purred and literally played with Tighnari's nipples again.
"What do you mean by also?" Tighnari leaned back, his ears erect, his face flushed with shyness from the purring. "Mm... just a little... more time, then." Tighnari moved his hand to Cyno's knee in the water and squeezed it. "You're cute... thinking you can keep your plans to meet someone in Mondstadt a secret from me. While you're doing that, I'd like to look at the specialties they have there. Their therapeutic properties..." He trailed off, ruminating on the rest of his thoughts. Windblume was the holiday for building relationships and doing things for others. Tighnari was certain Collei would be overwhelmed by the magnitude of the celebration.
"I'm not sure if I'll be able to meet him... I have no idea what he looks like or where he lives. However, you will be my top priority! And, of course, Collei," Cyno admitted.
"Oh, shush, I know you're excited to meet him. Don't be concerned about me. I've been in the survival field for a while; I have experience and things to do." Furthermore, having Cyno breathing over his shoulder while he sat inspecting mushrooms and plants was inconvenient. He'd be bored, and Tighnari would be pressed for time.

"Oh? Do you know who I'm referring to?" Cyno inquired. He talked so much about his favorite game that he forgot about everything else he said to Tighnari... it was too much at times, not realizing what he was talking about. "But I'm glad we're both doing something there."
Plants? Obviously too boring for Cyno.
"It's been a while since I last visited Mondstadt," Cyno added as he began to nibble at Tighnari's neck. His now free hand wandered deeper in the water, felt the belly again, but didn't stop there and rested his hand close to Tighnari's manhood... clearly not with the intention of teasing him. "Nari..." he murmured. "I can't seem to keep my hands away."
"We've already had three rounds," Tighnari mumbled softly. "Are you not completely satisfied yet?" His head rested on Cyno's shoulder, allowing him to lean back and stare at the ceiling as those fingers got closer to his sensitive area. "You're certainly the most official unofficial Alpha." Tighnari squirmed in front of Cyno, his penis already tingling from the brief contact.

"Satisfied? Not at all," the General admitted, brushing the tip of Tighnari's manhood lightly to tease him. "I'm curious... if there are more than me...? How often did humans and foxkin have kits?"
"Well, we are uncommon, so I would think a lot. The more foxkin that breed with humans, the more recessive the gene becomes. One of our children may be born without ears or a tail but with exceptional hearing. It is determined by my ancestors. There must have been some of my ancestors who married off to humans."
Cyno hummed, reflecting on this brief explanation and imagining how their kits would look. The foxkin hoped that the kits would be a perfect mix of them both. He wanted to see Cyno's side shine through. But Tighnari wasn't done talking about Mondstadt yet.

"You know... When it comes to TCG, you only bring him up." Tighnari laughed and shuddered. "Perhaps he'll be the one you marry along with those cards."
"Stop talking nonsense. Or do you prefer a threesome? I wouldn't mind, you know," Cyno chuckled. He'd already gotten hard behind Tighnari, pushing closer to feel it while one hand kneaded Tighnari's breast and the other fully embraced his penis.

Tighnari scoffed, shoving Cyno away from him to stare him down.
"I am not a descendant of Valuka Shuna who shares! If you're looking for threesomes or other people to have intimate moments with, we should probably just stay friends. Take that as you will. My kind is territorial." Tighnari finished the brief warning, determined to keep Cyno's attention solely on him.
"Wha-?!" Cyno exclaimed, startled and was even shocked for a moment. He'd never seen Tighnari's expression or outburst like that before... even enemies were handled differently.

Tighnari would PROVE to the other one that he was the only one who could satisfy him. So his eyes lit up as he had an idea, shifting to the opposite end of the tub, pushing Cyno back. He grabbed both of his wrists and held them above his hand, vines appearing magically as his vision glowed just a few feet away. They bound him so he couldn't touch Tighnari. Meanwhile, he took advantage of the situation to climb to the top and go ham on the General Mahamatra. He began at the top with soft kisses and nibbles, progressing to biting and sucking as he descended, his neck taking the most of it.
"It's fine..." Cyno tried to explain, "I was just... joking," but his boyfriend acted much faster. He had triggered something that should not have been triggered, and he was afraid Tighnari would simply leave. "Nari, what are you doing?" he asked, but the next thing he knew, his hands were tied together and Tighnari was on him. This was hot, despite his mistake with the threesome idea. "Nari..." he began to moan, desperately wanting to touch him but unable to. Instead, Tighnari elicited a reaction from his entire body, and he even enjoyed the bites.

Tighnari licked every hickey he marked Cyno with, his bronze skin turning red from the teeth scratching against. He sat comfortably right against his crotch as their cocks grinded against each other, his hands smoothing over each sensitive mark and then over the jawline, tilting his chin up.
"Have your eyes up here, pretty boy. I'm the only one who can meet your needs." His tail was tightly wrapped around Cyno's leg, weighing it down, while his hand was wrapped around the base, jerking up and down slowly. “Mine. This is mine." His eyes darkened slightly, a thumb pressing on the tip of Cyno's member.

For his boyfriend, this was a new side to him. Cyno had no idea it existed, but he loved every part of him, and his erection was already arching.
"Hah..." Cyno groaned, giving him even more room to mark. He would totally sub to him right now. The Mahamatra was about to close his eyes when he looked back at Tighnari's face, his mouth slightly open.
"Yes..." he finally said, panting and shifting his hips. "Touch me... more," he demanded, sending shivers down his spine. His eyes were half-lidded and focused on his face. "F-fuck... why are you so damn hot..."

Tighnari smirked as Cyno immediately bent to his will and pressed his other hand that wasn’t preoccupied with his manhood to brush over his sides. With each movement, the water swirled around them, making them lighter so Tighnari could easily grip his side and slip underneath to touch his back.
“Demanding from me? What an audacious act, General Mahamatra, thinking you're in charge right now. You may have men lined up to accompany and lead you, but do you know who is in charge when it comes to me? Do I have to tell you?" The foxkin paid special attention to his nipples while leaving his back alone. Yes, he wasn't about to feed, but squeezing the bud between his fingers and twisting it red didn't make it any less appealing.

Cyno didn't mind that the water made a mess in the room.
"Hnn..." he bit his lower lip, his whole body trembled, and he demanded more. Despite the fact that their roles had changed, the General smiled and licked his bitten lips. "Tell me, Tighnari," he replied quietly. "Won't you show me... how helpless I'm right now?" he teased, moaning from what his boyfriend had done. He could still do some thrusts thanks to the water, and he wanted more of Tighnari's hand.
"That wasn't the answer I was looking for," Tighnari growled and lowered his lips, preparing to attack the bud. His teeth scraped against the sensitive skin before clamping down just enough to cause pain and pleasure. He sucked it with his teeth and licked it, swirling his tongue around. He switched to the other after a minute of massaging. "Do you know who it is now? General, who's in charge?" Tighnari's hands felt like they were all over him, but he couldn't have any more to touch him all over. Seeing how impatient he was, the foxkin removed his hand from the erection. “For someone taught to obey, you need discipline.”

Tighnari knew exactly what he had to do, and Cyno wanted to play with him at first, but it didn't help... it was too good, and he was about to...
"You... you are in charge, Tighnari..." he grumbled from the sweet pain. They simply didn't have much room for anything else, and the bathtub was far too small. When Cyno couldn't feel the hand anymore, he pressed his head against the nape of his neck, murmuring. "P-please..." If this continued, he would beg for any kind of touch.
"That's what I thought," Tighnari smirked, jerking Cyno off slowly, painfully slowly. He wanted to draw him to the edge and then pull him back, over and over, until he was a mess just for him. This is why you should never mess with a Valuka Shuna, who is extremely territorial and could become jealous in the blink of an eye.
"Hah," Cyno's moans were audible to any of their neighbors, but he also rewarded Tighnari with his voice. Tighnari's way of helping him drove him insane. "Yes... ah... a little more... a little harder, please." If he had known from the start that Tighnari could become jealous and turn into... this, he would have done it before.

While Tighnari jerked him off, two fingers from his other hand inserted themselves into Cyno's small hole, curling once inside to widen his walls. He was about to fuck him. Hard.
"What a delicate sight, reserved just for me. Nobody else can put a finger on you... or in you."
"W-what... Nari?" Cyno panted, feeling the finger inside. "Ahh~"
Was this really going on...?
"Wait... what are... hnng.." As previously stated, Cyno didn't mind being fucked by Tighnari, but it caught him off guard. Nonetheless, he moved towards his finger, staring him down.

The water droplets that sloshed around glistened on Cyno's bronze skin. His hole was submerged in lukewarm water, which helped to relax the muscles around his digits. Tighnari pushed his fingers up to his knuckles, then to the first knotty on his finger. Even with the wetness of the water, he could feel the cock's pulsing ache in his hands, begging for more attention. Who was he to say no? A thumb firmly planted itself on the base and stroked the length, up and down motions thoroughly. The foxkin was amused by Cyno's expression, which drew out a hidden sadistic pleasure in him, prompting him to add a third finger, widening the rim. "Raise your voice. I'm not hearing you. I don't know what you want if you don't tell me."

If Cyno had stayed with Alhaitham, he would have grown used to such treatment, but this was the first time anyone attempted to top him.
"Oh... god," the General moaned, wanting more of these fingers inside him while also demanding more attention on his hard member. If Tighnari continued like this he would come sooner than expected even though he already came thrice before. "Ah..." he licked his lips as he moved beneath his boyfriend. "Fuck... me," he confessed his desire. "I... only... you," Cyno blurred out words that were free of context. "Outside..."

"Fuck you? Outside? Do you want to get out of the bath?" Tighnari raised an eyebrow at the unusual request, but moving them wasn't a problem. Tighnari massaged his internal muscles with these three fingers before popping them out and licking them while looking at Cyno with a seductive glint in his eyes.
"Outside the bathtub is enough," Cyno said, panting. The bathroom was adequate, and calling room service again would be too much. "Take me wherever you want," Cyno said, a shudder running down his spine.
“You’re holding it all in, and for what? I’m here and I’d be happy to take your load off, General Mahamatra. After all, I’m but a humble former Amurta student who’s always admired the work of those who protect Sumeru.”

Tighnari had to figure out how to get them to the bed without soaking everything. His vision glowed as the vines vanished, allowing Cyno to stand safely. The foxkin stood up shakily and yanked several towels from the rack, catching water droplets on the way from the bathtub to the outside.
Tighnari looked so sexy and Cyno almost came from this view. Cyno already felt empty without the fingers, and he refused coming too soon. They got out of the bathtub, but Cyno went to the sink, which had a large mirror through which he could see Tighnari. He wiggled his ass, his hole from Tignari's finger still gaping.
"Aren't you eager for me?" Tighnari stood on the bathroom rug, gripping Cyno's exposed ass and spreading his cheeks to lick a stripe upwards.
"I am," Cyno grunted, rolling his eyes with delight.
Tighnari grabbed his great ass and ate him out, his tongue working like magic to satisfy his partner. Tighnari was ready to insert, but for the time being, his spit was acting as lube, preparing him to enter.

Cyno's member was already leaking as his grip on the porcelain tightened. Tighnari's tongue felt indescribable, otherworldly. His legs felt like pudding, and he desired more. "Nari.." he moaned, desperately trying to get more of this hot tongue inside him.
Tighnari didn't have a massive cock, but it was adequate. To be fair, he was an Omega foxkin, so a huge cock wasn't exactly what he needed. When he felt the hole and surrounding area were sufficiently wet, he teased his fingertips around the entrance, slipping inside for one last time before replacing his fingers with his erection. The head initially circled the prize, teasing him in any way he could, keeping the suspense until he finally, slowly, pushed in. Thank goodness they were the same height.
Cyno didn't mind the size; he knew how big his boyfriend was, but feeling it this way was different. Finally. He leaned toward the sink, making it easier for Tighnari to enter. It's his first time as a sub, but Tignari did a good job of preparing him, so it didn't hurt too much when he entered him.

The baby bump was now a minor annoyance, but Tighnari was doing his best to push slowly inside, a hand reaching around to send pleasurable signals to his erection in case the stretch caused any discomfort. As he slid inside, he moaned against Cyno's back, the warmth and tightness gripping his privates in a comforting and satisfying way. His eyes almost rolled back into his head, his ears leaned back, and his tail waggled excitedly.
"Won't you... cum for me..." Tighnari moaned into his ear, and while his stature didn't allow him to completely bend over him, it was enough to do the job and be heard. "Come," he said, brushing his hair against his bronze skin. Tighnari's hips drew back before thrusting forward again, melting from the heat.

"Ah," groaned the General, pushing towards Tighnari and welcoming his hard erection. The sink supported their position, and he could see the foxkin in the mirror behind him. "You are so... good." Tighnari couldn't get over him with the babies inside him, so his entire body shivered. This thought heated up the situation even more, and he enjoyed Tighnari's new side.
Tighnari's thrusts were bold, reaching as deep as he could without hurting himself or slipping from the dripping wetness they both were in. He bent over to kiss his back as he shoved into the hole, retracted, and shoved in again.
Cyno moaned and took every thrust, and it didn't take long for him to fulfill Tighnari's words. When he reached his climax, hot semen spurted outside him, and he tightened even more around his love.

Feeling the slick leak out, Tighnari’s thumb pressed on top of the slit from which it escaped, somewhat holding it in behind his tightened around the base to act as a cock ring for a minute. Cyno's grip on his cock had him huffing, and he came quickly after, but not without stopping. He'd go until he was physically fucked out, wincing at the overstimulation.

The general felt like getting back for what he did to Tighnari early; he knew it would feel good, but it was perfect. Even though he preferred being in charge, that is not the case right now. His eyes rolled and he pushed his ass back at his lover, groaning when he couldn't fully come. "Nari... Ah.... Please," he whimpered, the finger pressing firmly on his tip. The desire to come was strong, and he soon felt Tighnari coming inside him. He threw his head back and moved away from Tighnari's grasp. "F... Ah," his legs shook, but Tignari didn't stop. "Are you coming again...?"
As long as Cyno was satisfied with his efforts, he removed his thumb from the slit, feeling the slick immediately coat his hands with semen. Tighnari huffed against his back, leaning against him. Pregnancy may have taken more out of him than he had anticipated. Jealousy had left him by this point, leaving him a breathless foxkin. "Mmm..." he couldn't find the energy to respond with words right now.

It takes a lot of strength for Cyno to stand still; his legs almost soften from being in this position, but he didn't want them to end up on the floor and injure Tighnari in some way. Cyno felt him relax, and he wasn't sure if they'd go on... or what Tighnari would do. "Are you... okay?" he panted, trying to see his boyfriend in the mirror. Seeing him like that, he couldn't help but smile. "You don't look like you made another round like this."
“Sh-shush…! Give me a moment…” His ears were pressed flat on his head as he tried to calm down, his tail tucked between his legs in a submissive position, though he never voiced this tell-tale sign. He slowly drew himself out, hugging the broad back for support. "Never mention others... ever again."
"As you wish," he said, his face beaming. Cyno took a deep breath as he waited for Tighnari to pull outside him. This was more than enough sex without anyone being in heat, but Cyno wouldn't mind another round... with Tighnari back under him. But they needed a break... Tighnari, at least in Cyno's opinion.
"Mhh... this was something," he said, turning to take Tighnari in his arms. "You're fantastic, Nari..."

"Can... can we... can we continue on the bed?" Tighnari asked meekly, rubbing his cheek against Cyno and lazily kissing his skin. Tighnari couldn't fully embrace Cyno because his stomach was pressed against him. He took another deep breath and grasped the bathroom door frame, making his way back to the bed after a brief moment in his arms.

"Continue?" Cyno wondered, but then he grinned all over his face. Their time apart was probably a bit too much for them.

When Cyno wanted to rush behind his boyfriend, he noticed more cum leaking outside and took care of it before following him. It still felt strange, but he could move and the consequences would come tomorrow.
"The kits must think their mommy is running a marathon," he chuckled, returning to their freshly made bed. He didn't waste any time and slipped between Tignari's thighs, kissing the skin slowly and thoroughly while looking up to him. "You have no idea how much... I love you, and it grows stronger by the minute.."
Tighnari's tail swung back and forth as he sat on the bed to continue the cuddling, instinctively greeting him and wrapping his legs around him.
"As expected, you're so cheesy, Cyno. I love you as well... we have a lot to learn together. Especially now that these kits are on their way." He smoothed his hand over the bump, his heart fluttering as he felt movement inside.

Chapter Text

Collei strolled in front of Cyno and Tighnari, taking in the scenery. The trip to Mondstadt was always an adventure for her, and it allowed her to spend more time alone with Tighnari and Cyno.
Tighnari held Cyno's hand and chuckled due to Colleis's high spirits as they walked slower than usual. His other hand was resting on the already visible baby bump. He tried to cover it up, but even several layers of fabric weren't enough. Tighnari couldn't help but feel a mixture of nervousness and excitement as he walked with the baby bump beneath his hand, knowing that their lives were about to change forever.

"You know... I was wondering if you really only carry two," Cyno said, taking care of everything around them to keep them safe.
"Oh, please. I'm hoping there are only two of them! My back is already hurting, and I still have four months to go!" After all, the foxkin had a soft smile on his face as he looked down his belly. "I'm going to need a break when we get to Mondstadt."
"I can carry-", Cyno began, but Tighnari cut him off. "No way! I can still walk by myself, and I don't want anyone looking at us." People had already done so; it was unusual for a foxkin to be pregnant outside of Sumeru. His kind was well-known in Teyvat, but it was all new to Tighnari.

"Master! Cyno! Look, there's Mondstadt!" Collei came to a halt on a hill, a perfect view of the city in the soft glow of the setting sun.
"Finally," sighed Tighnari. He had never had trouble walking, but the kits made getting here an adventure. His body needed time to adjust to the extra weight.

Cyno smiled as he leaned closer to Tighnaris' ear. "I can take care of you as soon as we arrive at the Inn."
Tighnari flushed instantly, hoping Collei wouldn't notice. They hadn't seen each other in a long time. The most recent was in Sumeru City, where they made a mess of the hotelroom.
"S-stop saying this when Collei can hear us!" Tighnari warned him but secretly hoped for this outcome. It was no secret that his libido had suffered as a result of his pregnancy. Tighnari had to use his hand or whatever he could find to get rid of his longing for Cyno during his absence from the General. Nobody warned him that pregnancy was nearly as bad as his heat when thinking about his Alpha.

-

Meanwhile, Collei ran into an old friend, Amber, at Mondstadt's entrance, followed by Sucrose and Albedo. While Amber had to leave again, Collei quickly made friends with Sucrose and they set out to explore the city.

Proud 'parents' and the Alchemist of Mondtstadt were left behind. They weren't thrilled with their stolen quality time at first, but both were fast to make a new friend. While walking through the city, Albedo talked to them. He even laughed at Cyno's not-so-funny jokes, but he also talked about a variety of topics with Tighnari.

Tighnari was only a few steps away from having to claim another break, Angels share, as Albedo suggested. Their inn was nearby, but Tighnari was fine to just sit somewhere.
They got a table in the corner of the tavern, where they wouldn't be seen by anyone. Albedo took the seat across from them and ordered some alcohol to drink.. except for Tighnari who only got a drink without alcohol.

"I'd heard of them but never met one myself," Albedo finally admitted what he was thinking since he suspected Tighnari was pregnant.
"Huh?" Tighnari's ear twitched as he sipped from his glass. He had to adjust on the table because it wasn't designed for a baby bump.
"I'm sorry for being so blunt," Albedo said as he lifted his hands and leaned closer to the table. "Even though I'm just a regular alchemist, I'm very interested in any kind of science, and biology was never a topic for me." He kept his voice low, causing Tighnari to flush again.

Cyno smiled proudly and wrapped his arm around his boyfriend, clearly showing off his work.
"Cyno!" Tighnari blushed even more, looking away and attempting only half-heartedly to break free from Cyno's embrace.

"I'm really sorry," Albedo said as he emptied his glass. "Please tell me if I crossed a line."
"No, it's not a problem... It's just that we barely discussed it with anyone else. Most of them were simply pleased for us and didn't ask further. I'm actually glad that someone is interested."

Tighnari's cheeks stayed reddish when Cyno lowered his arms to drink, but only with Tighnari holding his hand under the table.
"To be honest, even Cyno was surprised when I told him I could get pregnant."
"To be fair, neither of us had a chance to think about it," Cyno added. "But I would do it all over again."
"You big lummox! Just wait until they're born before saying things like that!" Tighnari, still embarrassed, lowered his voice.

Cyno leaned in closer again, whistling in his boyfriend's ear. "I will love you three no matter what... even if we add another pair of twins."

"You two are the most adorable couple I have ever seen." Albedo was both amazed and amused, thinking about how cute they were even though they had only met a few hours before.
"Anyway," Tighnari coughed, shyly looking away. "We're here for the Windblume festival, which starts tomorrow," he continued before Cyno finished his sentence, "we planned to accompany Colley, but it appears she doesn't need us."
"From what I could tell, Sucrose and her were a good match. I had some tasks for Sucrose, but it appears that they will have to wait until after Windblume," Albedo assumed. He put his hand to his chin, pondering what to do instead.
"Why not join us?" asked Cyno and Tighnari simultaneously.

Cyno and Tighnari exchanged glances, laughing about having the same thought. So they made a new friend and instead of going about their business, they spent time at the tavern.

"It seems like the kits are quite active today." Tighnari placed his hand on his belly and felt several kicks. "Just like their father, I think," he joked.
"For real?" Cyno's eyes widened as he leaned in closer to touch his boyfriend's womb. "Perhaps they can't wait until tomorrow as well."

Albedo was forgotten for the time being, but he didn't mind watching these two. He drank his liquor with a smile on his lips, leaning closer to the table.

"Do you have names for them already?" Albedo asked curiously.
"Names...?" Tighnari wondered, his head tilted. He looked at Cyno, who was equally perplexed. "We haven't really thought about it yet," Tighnari admitted, his face lit up with a playful grin. "But I suppose we'll come up with something unique and meaningful for our little ones."
"How about a unique name like Desh-," Cyno suggested, but was cut off by Tighnari.
"Never!" Tighnari was not amused. "We're not naming our childs after a king!"
Cyno chuckled, realizing his suggestion was a little far-fetched. "Fair enough," he said as he leaned back. "I'm sure whatever names we come up with will be perfect for them."

Tighnari stretched, resting his head on Cyno's shoulder and grabbing his hand once more.
"I've been getting really tired of everything lately," he sighed. "It could be the kits being so active." Cyno nodded sympathetically and squeezed Tighnari's hand reassuringly.
"I can only imagine how exhausting it must be for you," he softly replied. "But remember, it's all worth it in the end when we finally get to meet our little ones."

"I think I can mix something up for you until tomorrow," Albedo said. "It's nothing bad; it's just a potion to help you stay awake without harming the babies." Tighnari expressed gratitude to Albedo for the offer.
"That would be amazing," Tighnari replied, his face tired. "I'd really appreciate some extra energy to keep up with everything. This is especially important when I want to enjoy the festival."
Albedo nodded in agreement. "I'll make sure to prepare a potion that will give you the boost you need without causing any negative side effects." Tighnari's tired smile widened, grateful for Albedo's understanding and support.

Meanwhile, Cyno stroked Tighnari's hair and emptied his drink.
"I think we should look for our quarters," Cyno suggested, his voice slurred slightly by the alcohol. "We can rest up and get ready for the festival tomorrow." Tighnari agreed with a nod, feeling a wave of exhaustion wash over him. He hoped to have enough energy to enjoy the festivities with Albedo's promised potion and a good night's sleep.

After learning that Collei would spend the night with Sucrose, the alchemist dismissed the two travelers.

Tighnari couldn't help but feel relieved as they returned to their quarters, knowing that Collei was in good hands. He smiled at the idea of a restful night's sleep and waking up refreshed. Of course, this was not his only intention. Being alone with Cyno and his never-ending libido sounded appealing.

"What do you think of him?" Tighnari walked close to Cyno’s side, hands holding.
"Mh?"
"Albedo," he said. Tighnari's question caught Cyno off guard, causing him to pause before responding. "Albedo seems... intriguing," he said, his voice tinged with interest. "There's something about him that I can't quite put my finger on, but I'm definitely interested in getting to know him better."
Tighnari hummed, not saying what was going through his mind. Cyno was left wondering about Tighnari's unspoken thoughts after he fell silent. He couldn't help but wonder what Tighnari's true intentions were with Albedo before they entered their room.
