Upon entering the gym, Guilherme was eager to see Matheus. It was delicious the feeling of anxiety to see someone who likes so much, as if just seeing him around was enough for your day to be good.
However, the beta did not see Matheus.
— Hm?
Looking around, Guilherme looked for the alpha everywhere — even in the locker room — and waited a little longer. But when Coach Santiago started the day's training and the alpha had not yet appeared, Guilherme felt slightly disappointed.
Well, Matheus is about to graduate from college, so he's probably busy with his last papers and exams or else taking care of the preparations for his graduation party.
Shaking his head, Guilherme tried to concentrate on the training. And in the late afternoon, he heard Jake talking with the coach.
— Matheus? Oh, he seemed indisposed so I sent him home.
— Indisposed? Must be serious since he did not warn me anything by message...
The volleyball fell from Guilherme's hands when he heard that piece of conversation.
What? Does that mean Matheus was sick?
Out of nowhere?
Quickly Guilherme went to Jake, as soon as the alpha finished his conversation, and held his shirt.
— Hm, Jake... Is the captain okay?
— When I left home he seemed fine. Only if he got sick during class — Jake pondered with his arms crossed — I will stop by the house before going to work to see how he is.
— Can I go along?
Jake seemed surprised by Guilherme's request, but the beta didn't even bother to hide his little anxiety and concern about the health of the alpha.
— Well... I think so. I'd be more comfortable if I had someone around while I'm at work.
Guilherme opened a smile of relief and quickly went to the dressing room to change his uniform. Of course, before going, the beta warned his brother about his visit to the captain, and Jake even invited him to go along. However, the omega said he needed to study for a test and so would go straight home.
Anyway, within twenty minutes Guilherme was in Jake's car going to the building where he and Matheus shared.
Guilherme had acted on impulse to want to go to the apartment of Matheus and Jake. All right, Ihewas going to visit a dear friend who was sick, and depending on his state of health could even help him take care of himself a little...
Truth be told, Guilherme just wanted to see it with his own eyes and make sure it was nothing serious.
As soon as the two boys arrived at the apartment, they did not see a shadow of Matheus. Jake left his backpack on the couch and went to the corridor of the rooms, having Guilherme in his tail, and the two came across with the red ribbon tied to the doorknob.
— Wow.
— What was it? — asked curious Guilherme.
Jake pointed at the ribbon.
— Usually this means that he is accompanied and does not want to be interrupted.
— Accompanied? — Guilherme looked surprised at Jake, and opened a nervous smile — What do you mean? He is locked with someone in the room?
Jake crossed his arms and nodded.
— That's it. Like when I'm with Nath, I also leave a ribbon on the doorknob to let him know that I'm accompanied.
Blinking stunned, Guilherme needed a few moments to process that information. Which was a difficult task.
Swallowing dry, Guilherme felt even more disappointed to know of it. Matheus wasn't all flirting with him the last few days? And now he's with someone else in the room?
Did the beta understand something wrong? Was it he who confused the jokes of Matheus and thought it was flirting? Or was the alpha, in fact, playing with him because he found his reactions amusing?
— Aah, fucked up.
Raising his eyes to the alpha, Guilherme was surprised to see him covering his nose.
— What is it?
— Can't you feel? He's releasing pheromones.... Matheus must be in heat.
Choking, the beta had his face covered with heat and shame.
— H-Heat?!!
— How are you not feeling this smell? It's too strong.
Jake returned to the room without bearing the strong smell of pheromones from Matheus. Guilherme followed him not knowing what to do. What if there really was someone else in the room having sex with Matheus? What could he do?
Would it have been a mistake to come without warning?
— Brother, can I ask you a favor?
— Hm? Ah, sure. What do you need?
— Since I have to stay on the night shift and Matheus is in heat, I doubt very much that he will go out of the room to eat. So could you make him a meatloaf?
— But he is not accompanied...?
Jake opened a slight smile and stroked the hair of the beta.
— Just do it for me, please. Then when I come back, I can take you home or you can sleep here.
The alpha did not wait for an answer and soon went to his room to change. Guilherme stood in the middle of the room taking a long time to understand what was happening.
— Am I going to have to stay here while he is in the room with someone else? — Whispered the beta grimacing — Ah Jake, wait...
— I'm leaving, it's worth to break this branch for me, brother. I bring you a snack, promise~
And so Jake ran away from his fingers, leaving Guilherme at that crossroads.
Blinking a few times, the beta looked over his shoulder towards the corridor plunged into that silence. Wouldn't that be good? Do not hear anything coming from the room? Or would be bad not knowing if Matheus was okay?
Swallowing dry, Guilherme hesitated a long time until he decided to go to the door and leave a light knock.
— Hm... Captain? Is everything all right?
Silence.
No answers.
Should it hit again? If he was accompanied, then the beta would be a nuisance. Looking down at the red ribbon on the doorknob, Guilherme had no idea whether he should respect the probable meaning of that tie or ignore it.
Somehow, the meaning bothered, and much, him.
A noise coming from inside the room caught his attention. Leaning his ear against the door, trying to figure out what had happened in there.
— Captain? Everything okay there?
Without receiving an answer, and getting worried, the beta made a bold decision. Turning the handle, Guilherme was surprised to notice that it was open. He had the impression that it was locked before...
Biting his lip, he opened a crack and took a peek. The room looked dark and could not see well what was inside. But he heard no sound.
Matheus was not accompanied?
And if he was in heat, then shouldn't he be more... noisy?
Besides, who would be Matheus' possible company?
Pressing his fingers on the doorknob and opening the door further, Guilherme entered the room. Strangely he did not see anyone in that relatively average room. But he smelled the strong pheromones of Matheus. A delicious smell that made his whole body shiver and his muscles quiver.
He should leave before Matheus shows up. Guilherme shouldn't be near an alpha in heat.
Yes, it was a mistake to have given in to your curiosity.
And it seemed like everything was fine, right?
Quickly Guilherme turned his back, being about to leave. Then a strong hand closed the door in a loud bang.
Widening his eyes to the closed door and the hand leaning against it, Guilherme shuddered. He could feel the presence on his back, and hear his heavy breath.
Matheus was after him, releasing pheromones.
— What brings this little fox in my den?
Matheus's thick voice messed with Guilherme. He felt something inside him react to alpha's timbre. Did the omega feel like that too? As if the presence of an alpha was something extremely difficult to ignore. As if he wanted to look in his direction and lower his head to yield to his desires and wishes.
Matheus' breath hit his neck, and Guilherme could feel his fingers touch his hair softly.
— C-Captain...
— That's not how I asked you to call me, little fox.
Guilherme's legs gave way when he felt the lips of Matheus in his lobe. And before he fell, the alpha held his waist and bound him in his body. Now the beta could feel Matheus' heart beating fast on his back, his warm breath on his neck and his strong arm squeezing him at the waist.
And the pheromones... covered Guilherme entirely.
— I... Ham... I-I just came to see if you were all right... Matheus.
— I'll be fine when I have what I want so much.
— What do you want so much?
Matheus let out a low laugh and easily he carried the beta around the room. Guilherme felt a potato sack being carried under the alpha's arm, but it was surprising when the alpha laid him on the bed and lay on top of him.
Now seeing him so close, Guilherme realizes that Matheus was really in heat. And it seemed that he was restraining himself until then, his pupils were dilated and the veins in his arms and neck were burst.
— Finally got you, little fox.
Matheus' whisper was swallowed by the kiss he gave to Guilherme. Although he was in heat, a moment full of desire, the beta felt delicacy in the touch of the alpha. At least he kissed him softly, as if he enjoyed every second of that touch.
Although Guilherme was about to have a heart attack.
When the alpha broke the kiss and turned away his face, he appreciated Guilherme's face covered with shame and disbelief. Stroking his cheek, Matheus leaned over the beta.
— What was it? By chance, was it your first kiss?
— H-H-Ham... It w-was, I mean, I, is....
Matheus hugged Guilherme's waist and moved his face closer to the abdomen of the beta looking at him with a malicious smile. Exploding pheromones all over the room, he bit the shirt of the blond slightly raising.
— This alpha here will do the honor of being your first and only, runaway little fox.
