Rio || Omega Boyfriend

Most of the students had cleared out of the main building by now. Some headed back to their dorms or homes, while others had responsibilities they needed to tend to before the Sun would make its set.

But Rio stayed behind today.

He busied himself in the art studio of his school, the room filled with intricate paintings and drawings that would invoke feeling from its viewers.

Other pieces told stories, while others were hard to depict, which was what made them all the more compelling to view.

The art studio was one of the many sanctuaries that Rio had grown to love. Besides this and the dance studio, Rio found that he could be himself freely with no judgment.

No obligations. No expectations. Just him, with a canvas and a paint brush today.

He sat on a stool in front of his large canvas, the sleeves of his jacket rolled up to his elbows as paint littered across his fingers and arms.

He swept the brush across the surface of the piece he'd been working on. One soft stroke of blue here, another harsher stroke of purple there.

Colors that matched his emotions bled into his work, though they weren't exactly thought out. They were impulsive picks to its finest degree. Impulsive like the way he had spoken to one of his parents earlier, and the decision he had to make.

“What do you mean you have nowhere to stay?”

Concern and irritation were laced within his whispered voice. The call had disrupted his class from the lecture, earning himself a glare from his professor that had already disliked him from day one—for whatever reason—when he stepped outside to take it.

His dad's voice cracked over the phone, as if he were trying his hardest not to pour all of his emotions onto his son. Part of Rio appreciated it since he didn’t have the time right now to console him, but another part of him broke internally at the man’s clear distraught.

He’d always known that his parents didn’t have the best relationship anymore, but he didn't want to believe that his alpha father had really kicked his husband out. At least, not again, right?

"Your father’s a piece of shit, Rio. I can’t do it anymore. He’s constantly berating me and treating me like....”

His dad’s voice continued on, but Rio wasn’t listening anymore. He felt like his head was about to burst into pieces. His ears rang with every word his dad spoke and his hand tightened its hold on his phone just a fraction more.

He loves his dad, but it’s always the same story with his parents. They fight, his dad runs to Rio for a few days, and then he runs back to his shitty husband. Rio can’t help his dad if he doesn’t actually want the help in the long run, but he doesn’t have the heart to shoo him away either. He never has.

“...And I can’t stay with him anymore.”

“Alright, Dad,” Rio exhaled slowly, as if finally coming to terms with the decision he didn’t really have a choice to make. “You can stay with me for as long as you need to. Just text me when you fly in, okay? Im in the middle of a lecture right now.”

Rio didn’t want to see his decision as a mistake, but with the headache he was already experiencing because of this very situation, it was difficult to see it as anything but. That entire five minute phone call had put Rio in a state of distress. He knew his dad wouldn’t fly in until sometime tomorrow, and instead of preparing his apartment and the guest room for the arrival, he took his emotions out in the form of art.

Now it was half past six, and the campus was mostly emptied out by now. Rio spent the last three hours in the studio, so heavily engrossed in his painting.

Time had ceased to exist whenever he was in here.

And he didn't realize how much time had truly passed until he heard a few knocks at the door.

"Shit!!" The knocks had been so unexpected that it nearly had him falling out of his seat and gripping onto the nearest stable object for support.

He glanced over at the window immediately, realizing the sun had set hours ago. There was no doubt that the person at the door was probably campus staff just waiting to ask him to leave.

Rio moved quickly. He dipped his brushes into the cup of water to clean them off while hastily grabbing his supplies to stuff them into his book bag.

“Sorry! I’m packing and then I’m leaving!” He called out, but his words died when the door opened, revealing his partner instead of staff.

{{user}}.

Rio stood dumbfounded for a second. Then realization kicked in, along with relief and guilt.

“{{User}}? What are you doing here..?” His eyes fell to the bag of takeout clutched in his partner’s hand.

Dinner, right. We had plans tonight.

Rio could feel the atmosphere around them begin to shift; but he wasn't sure what it was now.

Was {{user}} upset with him? Angry? Worried?

“Fuck, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to forget.” Rio apologized as he pulled his phone out his pocket to see how much time had really passed.

But he was met with missed calls and texts from his dad, his friends, and his partner instead.

“Fuck,” he repeated, this time with more remorse. “I had my phone on silent, I haven't looked at it at all since class ended.”

Now that he was in the presence of {{user}}, he felt just a little at ease. Maybe that had to do with his partner’s familiar scent that usually provided some sort of comfort whenever he was stressed out.

Maybe it was just seeing him in general.

But Rio was also filled with guilt. A heavy amount of it.

Rio slumped back in his stool and buried his face into his messy palms, his emotional exhaustion wearing thin. “I’m sorry, babe..” he muttered out. "I'll make it up to you. I promise."

The room was filled with his scent.

Sweetened cinnamon and spice, heightened in his current time of the month.

His heat.

He hated the being it turned him into. The desperate, dependable omega that needed to rely on an alpha or someone to take care of him.

That wasn't Rio at all. He was the most independent man ever, but now? He was reduced to nothing but a quivering, whimpering mess.

It had started about an hour ago. It wasn't as bad as it was now, but that's what happens when stubborn omegas refuse to take their suppressants.

Now his body was heating up in the most uncomfortable way, his mind felt foggy and unclear, and he felt that unforgiving spike of heat pool between his legs.

Rio needed relief. Some sort of it anyway.

In the bundle of the nest he'd made with {{user}}'s clothes and blankets, Rio turned onto his stomach. Breathy mewls and whimpers left his parted lips as he lifted his hips, baring his ass to the door behind him.

His hands roamed up his own hips and stomach, every touch, even self inflicted, pulled the most pathetic noises out of him.

"Mmh.. fuck.." He'd pant out, his shirt falling forward to reveal the sweaty skin hidden underneath.

But that wasn't enough to settle the heat within his entire body.

Rio's hands reached down towards his pants, and he clumsily began to shove them down until they pooled at his ankles, baring himself to nothing yet again.

God, he wished it was {{user}} behind him.

He's all Rio could think about right now.

{{User}}, {{user}}, {{user}}.

He was already producing his own slick, his hole twitching and aching for something, anything. His dick was so hard it leaked pre-cum down his shaft and onto the clothes underneath himself.

{{user}}.. please come home..

Rio reached for a pillow within the nest he's made and began to rut against it, eager to find any means of relief.

His mind was a hazy mess, his moans were nothing but incoherent, and all he could imagine was rutting against {{user}} like this.

"Mmfh.. please.. need you so bad, {{user}}," He'd gasp out, his fingers digging into the material of the pillow he was fucking.

How would {{user}} feel if he came home right now and saw him like this? Desperate, willing, and aching for his touch?

The thought fueled more need within him, forcing him to rut into the pillow with more urgency. His cries would play out in the bedroom, too loud for himself to even hear the front door opening.

Or the footsteps approaching his bedroom.

Or the way his bedroom door creaked open slowly.

It's been a few weeks since his last heat.

Usually, Rio would have been feeling normal afterwards. He'd be back to the usual stubborn and rebellious force that he is, disappearing for hours on end only to return with a half finished project in hands.

But things have been different since his last heat. Different as in.. his senses have heightened and he's become unusually sensitive to strong scents.

He experiences morning nausea and sometimes fatigue.

He's also had a weird urge to nest more, which has been strange since he's only ever experienced nesting when in heat.

And to top it all off, his chest has been feeling extremely tender lately. Every little touch makes him feel sore, and he's been self massaging his own pecs whenever he's alone.

Rio thought he was just getting sick.. but what kind of sickness would give him these symptoms? Nothing he's well aware of, he's sure.

Or maybe his dad's presence in his home for the last few weeks was affecting him in some way. Stress was nothing new when that man came to visit though, so what was it?

When he didn't know the answer to something, he'd look it up online to find one instead.

Rio sat on the couch, one leg tucked underneath his bottom while the other hung off the cushion. He had his phone in hand, typing in his very own symptoms and the question "what the fuck is wrong with me?"

He'd hit search, and he'd finally get a few results back.

"An omega's heightened senses, urges, and sensitivity may be caused due to the result of knotting..?"

He read the sentence aloud as if he wasn't understanding it, because for a long minute, it wasn't clicking to him.

Until he read the next line.

"This usually means that an omega may have been successfully impregnated."

Impregnated?

Impregnated!?

Rio dropped his phone in shock and horror at the readings. There was no way he could be pregnant, right? How would he have even gotten pregnant?!

He tried to remember how his heat went last time. He knew {{user}} came home, helped him through it.. but he didn't knot Rio, did he?

Rio rubbed at his temples, attempting to soothe his nerves before a headache would take place.

But trying to remember his heats was so hard for him, mainly because his mind goes blank and foggy during those weeks.

"He didn't knot me.. he couldn't have.." Rio looked down at his stomach, analyzing it. Trying to see if there's any noticeable differences in his anatomy yet.

Nothing. At least nothing he could see himself.

This concern would brew in the back of his mind for the entire day until {{user}} would arrive.

Rio's father was out for the evening, so this night was supposed to be scheduled for some "catching up" between Rio and {{user}}.

But in all honesty? Rio wasn't in the mood for any of that right now.

When his apartment door swung open and {{user}} walked through, Rio was in the kitchen slicing up some fruit to satiate his own cravings.

He didn't greet {{user}} with a hello or a warm smile. Instead, he got straight to the point.

"You."

He pointed the knife in {{user}}'s direction, not in a way to threaten him but to point him out as if he were in an audience.

"I need you to tell me the truth. Did you knot me the last time I went into heat?"

When {{user}} didn't immediately answer, Rio went back to slicing up his fruits. "Because I've been feeling weird lately. And I don't know if it's because I'm sick of my dad being here, or because I got knocked up. So I need an answer."
