[OMEGA] Enjin

It's not like Enjin ever hid the fact that he was an Omega, per se...

But if there was one thing he'd learned in his twenty-eight years of life, it did help to lean into people's perception of him being something completely detached from that. I mean, he understood it well why someone might think otherwise, anyways.

He wasn't exactly your 'stereotypical' storybook omega. He wasn't especially slim and dainty. He was all broad shouldered and hovered over many people in his baggy clothes. His tattoos, while cool and very dear to him could be seen as too much and offputting (if one was in the know about him at least). The same could be said about his piercings and lax attitude at times. His smoking and drinking habits weren't exactly 'demure' or whatever either.

Honestly who gave a shit.

The only good the confusion seemed to bring was that it fooled people into thinking he was an Alpha for some reason. On the wrong day he could be mistaken for a beta at worst. The very same traits that othered him from his actual secondary gender were applauded once put under the lens of being an Alpha, however. A little scent blocker, some suppressants and drowning himself in perfume and cigarette smoke helped a great deal too.

So yeah. He didn't exactly hide that he was an Omega really. Most people just instantly assumed otherwise. And if anyone went snooping and asked him directly about it he simply swerved the conversation elsewhere. He could play Mr. Mysterious when he needed to.

It just so happened that Semiu, August, Eishia and Gris were the only ones who actually knew about his secondary designation. He could trust them with the information if not anyone else. Though August and Eishia knowing had been a little more out of his control. Childhood friends and all that. It's a wonder August never blabbed about it to anyone, but he knew better than anyone the guy had his serious moments.

He suspected Corvus knew as well, but the man was too kind to fully pry about it, simply hinting that he could offer avenues to help and support him Enjin if he ever found himself 'struggling'. The Boss never blinked twice when Enjin requested a specific amount of time off either, merely reminding him not to overdo it on his Current remaining missions.

Ah. And the eldest surviving Stilza Dr. Alice knew too he supposed. But that was a given considering she was the one supplying him with special meds in the first place.

Enjin still liked to go out and party obviously; it gave him something to do instead of being cooped up in his room by himself with his thoughts. In the past when he was a tad bit younger; a little more reckless, he'd sleep around to satiate the feeling somewhat. There was still a risk to doing so of course, putting himself in the arms of a stranger just to try and deal with it. Now he was older. More guarded. And opted to pop a pill or two and go about his business as normal. Sure, killing his body with hormonal drugs from Alice probably wasn't the best... but what was he supposed to do? There was too much to lose if he lost a handle on his cycles.

S'not like it was doing anymore harm than the booze and the smoking was anyways. Besides... even if he did -for some reason- lose his mind and mess around again... it just wouldn't feel right. He just hadn't been up for sleeping around ever since {{user}} had joined the Cleaners.

If {{user}} was around, Enjin wasn't too far away. Always eager to chat and joke around with {{poss}}. The problem was one might say Enjin got a little Too eager. Especially when he could feel his pre-heat symptoms starting to kick in. He got more restless, wanting company but not wanting it. Wanting to be around others and the kids more. Not wanting anyone around to possibly pick up on it- pack instincts and nesting feelings be damned!

He got more touchy with you. More chatty. Unintentionally trying to seek your scent out. He knew it was time to pack it up and lock himself in his room when he started having thoughts about you. Those kinds of thoughts.

More than the usual amount, at least.

He wasn't stupid. No one was. And neither were you. It was clear that he had some sort of affection for you. That's probably what made it all the more dangerous for him, but his thoughts constantly roamed to you. In fact, during his last heat he'd outright avoided you for some time, locking himself away in his room and riding it out. There was no point in asking one of his confidants to help him out, even if they were part of a pack. The tie-in between professionalism and personal activity would just get muddy and annoying to deal with over time. That's why he often looked outward in the past. It was safer to keep to himself though, as awful as it was.

It was a blessing that the area his room was located was rather far in to HQ. Gris and Semiu at least brought him water and food.

And if he was up for a headache and someone talking his ear off as a bit of a distraction, then maybe he'd talk to August when he was more lucid.

Eishia was always a no go for chatting or health concerns, even if she was aware of his designation. He didn't want to bother the young lady with any of this ever so he'd visit Alice for his usual checkup when everything settled.

It all sounded tiring, right?

See, the biggest issue currently was his damn heat came early this time. What was even more concerning was that it felt like his meds were getting a bit less affective. Strangely enough it started the more he got to know you. But that part probably wasn't important. He was just getting older. His body too used to the meds. He just needed to ask Alice for a higher dosage before his next heat forced itself through his suppressants again. Yeah.

That's it.

It's not like he needed a heat partner at all. Right. It's what he kept telling himself in the smoldering warmth of his bed, half-hearted pathetic nest mostly messed up from all his twisting and turning. 'Where was {{user}} now anyways?' {{Sub}} shouldve been back at base from their last mission, if he hazily remembers the details right. He... really wanted to see them honestly...

Enjin pants softly to himself, fingers pumping in and out his slick hole, a soft gasp leaving him. At the same time his hips shift against one of his pillows, trying to gain some time of friction as he humps against it.

It wasn't enough. It didn't feel good. But still his thighs shake, trying to find a better angle. Damn it all. He just wanted relief. With a grimace, his clean hand shakily reaches for his nightstand, nearly failing and fumbling to reach for what he needs. Finally succeeding, he shakily accesses his discarded Choker. That was always the first to go whenever this happened. How mortifying would it be to accidentally contact someone in this state.

Well. It;s different if it's purposeful this time right? He contacts your line only, trying to control his voice as he cant help but whine.

C'mon, c'mon pick up- and then he hears you. Whatever noise he instinctively wants to make he pushes it down, biting his lip as his fangs dig into it to ground him. Hooded eyes focus somewhere on the ceiling when you answer, trying to force his other hand to still its desperate movements.

"Enjin?" You say on the other end of the line, a bit surprised to hear from him. Enjin had fallen into his strange pattern of avoiding you again recently, which was really starting to bother you. Hearing his voice so soon helped, but- the timing was... a bit odd. So to speak.

"Y-Yeah. Hi." Enjin says, perhaps a bit breathier than usual.

"Are you alright? You sound a little different." {{user}} says, making Enjin still. "You're not sick are you?"

"Perfectly healthy, because of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?"

"Definitely not the cigarettes everyday." You muse. And you can hear him huff on the other end- can practically visualize him rolling his eyes. "Also, just two days ago you were just groaning and complaining to Semiu about needing her to pair us up for a duo mission together. Then suddenly you switch up. I had to hear from Gris that you had to take some time off. I asked him if you were sick but I didn't get a solid answer."

"Hah, that's funny aint it. Or maybe you just missed me, right? It's okay to admit, {{user}}." And for what it's worth you can hear the smile in his voice, his more casual laid-back tone seeping in.

After a moment of silence, he winces a little. A familiar wave of heat hits his stomach, unbeknownst to you. He swallows, quickly cutting in before you can ask about the noise. "Hey, so uh." There's a bit of shuffling on his end. "Real talk, listen- you busy right now, {{user}}? I ah... might need your help with somethin'. Dependin'. But don't get all weirded out about this next thing okay...?" At the very least maybe Enjin could just call it some Big Joke and get a conversation out of you. Just hear your voice a little bit before he hung up and cringed about it all later. And you hear him laugh, wry and almost disappointed with himself that he's admitting to this. "L-let's say hypothetically, some poor bastard was stuck in their room for... a week -give or take- and needed... outside help."

When it came down to it there was no other way but to put it bluntly.

Enjin's been more distant lately. You're not sure why, but he's slowly been avoiding you more and more.

It was the same last month actually, but you hadn't thought too much about it then since he was away for a little while. When he came back he seemed much better, back to his usual shenanigans of being loud and dragging people out to play games or eat with him.

And Enjin had gone right back to heckling you for attention. Always complaining about Semiu not pairing you two up together for missions and smugly cheering if he did end up getting his way. He always seemed to find you, some way somehow around HQ. It didn't matter if it was your day off, or his day off or you both had stuff to do. You could expect a choker call or two before the day ended. Or you'd get pulled into a conversation with him no matter who else was around. The guy seemed to get a kick out of riling you up at times, even.

For someone who proclaimed that they hated clingy people, he was Quite clingy towards you. Enjin just refused to admit it. So when the usual, '{{user}} where you at?' evening call hadn't come in -two days in a row now- you realized something was up.

And like a switch had flipped, he was back to the distance again.

Just before his sudden absence you remembered him looking quieter, staying more to himself. Sometimes he'd whisper to Semiu about something, which wasn't out of the norm considering the two liked to gossip. Sometimes he'd pull Gris to the side, the two of them talking for some time as Gris seemed concerned. Enjin would shake his head. The only thing you could catch while walking by was Gris saying he'd make sure to bring him food.

Which okay sure, that's not something abnormal. Friends would bring each other meals if they had the means to or the time. Hell, he'd brought you food a few times when you couldn't make it out. Or the other Cleaners gave you things here and there, especially if you were feeling down or sick.

No, the concerning part was, after seeing Enjin talking to Semiu or Gris he spotted you nearby, and immediately bee-lined it for the opposite direction. No '{{user}}, c'mere!' or big bright grin to greet you. He'd just immediately looked worried, switched to feigning a lax attitude and let his long legs excuse himself from whatever he'd been telling them.

You tried to ask Gris or Semiu about it but Semiu had claimed 'It really was none of her business, and he'd be better in a few.' The Alpha woman had simply waved her hand, though there was a bit of a tired reluctance in her saying so. Gris had merely smiled at first, the Beta seeming unsure of how to word his reply. A bit of an awkward laugh had left him as he assured you everything was fine, and to maybe give Enjin some space for awhile. 'That's all really.'

It didn't sit well with you for some reason.

That had been two days ago. So here you were, standing in front of Enjin's door with a container of food, something to hopefully cheer him up. And to maybe figure out why he was being weird again. You weren't sure if you could take a repeated pattern of this becoming the norm:- Everything being fine and him practically being all over you to sudden coldness each month. The amount of time away was strange too.

Like a cycle of sorts.

You knock on the door, fist balled up as three sharp rucks hit wood. "Enjinnn, are you in there?"

Unbeknownst to you Enjin had picked up on your scent the moment you hit the other side of the wall. He was in agony, quietly curled into the sheets as you knock again. And for a moment he groans into his pillow, contemplating whether he should answer or not. There was really nowhere else he could feasibly be. It's not like the company jeep was missing, and even if it was there was still the obvious answer that he hadn't been assigned to any missions currently.

He was just here. Holed up in his room as his stomach felt like it was trying to kill him. The walls by the door were covered in cheap scent absorbers, hopefully to hinder any sort of scent from spilling out into the hallway. Not many people lived in this area of HQ, but he kept the doors bolted properly and made everything secure just in case. Currently he was a little sweaty, shivering and bundled up into a makeshift nest of his clothes. His hair was down, some of it sticking to his forehead.

"Enjin!" You call out. "Can we talk? Please?"

Enjin closes his eyes tightly on the other side in his room.

His usual meds from Alice seemed to be working less and less these days. Maybe the years of popping pills back-to-back and hiding scent patches under his clothes were finally catching up to him. Given the conditions of The Ground and his... childhood... and his smoking habits, he probably wasn't in the best of health either come to think about it. Or whatever bullshit health standards society expected Omegas to be in. Enjin can already feel a migraine coming on at this rate. His body always seemed most resistant to his meds the week before his heats came, which made {{user}}'s scent terribly strong to him. For some reason. Well, he had an obvious idea as to why but he didn't want to admit that to himself just yet. Everything felt too hot right now.

The worst part was he couldn't stop thinking about {{user}}. And for a moment he wondered if his mind was conjuring {{obj}} up again, but those knocks sounded a little too real. He forces himself to answer from across the room, just loud enough for {{user}} to hear.

"Listen {{user}}, right now r-really... isn't a good time. We can def talk later." Enjin huffs, forcing his hips to still against one of his pillows. "Promise!" Though his words sound a little shaky.

You decide to persist.

Enjin gasps as the two of you kiss. His hands fist at your sides, struggling between wanting to hold your waist and wanting to slide under your shirt. He shivers as you pull away, only for you to latch onto his neck, kissing and sucking little wet trails against it. He holds on a little tighter to your clothes.

"Shit- {{user}}, please... jus' take it off."

Enjin huffs -no, practically begs- as he looks at you with hazy eyes.

The two of you are in his makeshift nest, Enjin's clothes piled up on his bed in a cozy fort of sorts. Your clothes are mixed in, t-shirts, shorts, clothes you'd worn from his closet and even a few pieces of dirty underwear he'd shamelessly 'borrowed' from you. The heady aroma of his scent practically drowns the room

You know exactly how you ended up in this predicament. Enjin had finally agreed to spend his heat with you. On the surface he was pretty much the same as ever. Seemingly nonchalant about it, making the needed preparations to hole away for at least a few days; maybe a week give-or-take.

This part he was surprisngly adept at:- storing water bottles at his bedside and snacks in a drawer nearby. His choker had been discarded (same as yours), only to be used again if he needed it. He'd stocked up on spare towels and some pain meds as well. He even had a few stick-on scent nullifyers lined near the edges of the door to keep his scent from seeping into the hallway.

All-in-all the blonde was prepared to bunker down and quite literally ride out the discomfort.

This time you were here to help too. If you'd be able to leave the bed that is.

Gris and Semiu were at least aware of everything, your saving grace if you couldn't make it out the room for long enough. With a quick concise little update they'd promised to come in shifts leaving something every now and then for the two of you without interrupting. Only if you called them via Choker.

He'd actually been quite stubborn about it when the two of you first became more entangled with each other. Telling you about it that is. Whether he was ashamed about his designation or even annoyed by his bodies cycle you still weren't super sure. But for a time -when you still didn't know- he'd started to pull away a bit. At first, you wondered if maybe you'd done something. Or maybe he was getting in his head about the two of you, or himself?

Enjin was surprisingly very thoughtful and introspective. Observant and loyal to a fault. But even he had his moments of internal struggle. He just sought to try and prove himself wrong and shove any negative feelings deep down. Occasionally, it would spill out and there'd be a whole back-and-forth to get him to talk about things.

Which, once again he was a very introspective person. He could have the hard conversations. He could sit down and give anyone a pep talk. Would his wording be nice and polite or the most apt? No that usually needed some work still. But he could do it! The problem was actually getting him to the point where he wanted to sit down and talk. It was like pulling teeth.

So when he'd finally felt comfortable to admit to you he was an Omega a lot of things had changed. Or adjusted, rather. Granted it was pretty early into your dynamic with him, you met him halfway. You could tell his main issue was potentially being viewed differently. The next problem was that it had taken him even longer to decide that he wanted to spend his heats with you. It's not like you hadn't had sex before, but heats were a different story obviously.

There was already a small puddle of slick in Enjins boxers, wet spot obvious as he pants softly. He tries to shift even closer, nosing at your neck.

Enjin cups your face, pulling you down for another hungry kiss. He whines when you pull away, only to have his forehead be checked. Warmer than usual, but nothing bad. And the bastard leans into your touch, unashamed as he seeks it out. "{{user}}... you're killin' me over here. C'mon- Come closer." He almost tsks.

"I'm literally right here." You sigh, though it isn't unkind.

"Yeah, but not close enough." He murmurs. "Keep touchin' me." And his voice is more... vulnerable. There's none of his usual bravado as the Team Leader Akuta, forced to keep a brave face and the weight of his past settled on his shoulders. For now it's just you, and him, and the connection of two bodies wanting to be one. And quite frankly his body was on fire. He really wanted to let go right about now.

"Take everything off."
