Heatbound

Summary:

Dylan is an omega whose rare condition makes suppressants useless—his heats hit hard, and he needs someone to get through them. He signs up to SyncMate, where he matches with Jun: his bandmate, his enemy, and an alpha with zero interest in commitment.

Junn Tangsakultham  

Match score: 100%

████████████████████ 100%

Status: Active

 

Jun:

Dylan?

Dylan:

Yeah. That’s my name.

Jun:

We matched. That’s crazy.

Dylan: 

Yeah. The app must be broken.

Jun: 

100%? Huh. That’s... statistically impressive.

Dylan: 

Statistically terrifying. 

Jun:

Tell me about it.

What are you doing here anyways?

Things are bad with prince charming?

Dylan:

I told you to stop calling him that. 

And that is none of your business.

Jun:

It is. 

Dylan:

Because?

Jun: 

Because I'm annoying and I won't stop until you tell me.

Dylan:

Whatever. 

We just decided to end our agreement. Nothing dramatic.

Jun:

Of course.

Dylan: 

What are you even doing here, anyway?

Do you really have time left between one hook up and the other for this?

Jun:

I’m really good at multitasking. 

Dylan:

Sure.

Jun: 

But answering your question, I was just curious if SyncMate could find someone that matches my high standards.

Dylan:

You’re not seeing me right now so I want you to know that I rolled my eyes more than 10 times in the 5 minutes we’ve been talking.

Jun:

Good.

Dylan:

Just reject the match so we can both find someone else.

Jun:

So about that

Dylan: 

?

Jun: 

I think we should do it.

Dylan: 

You're crazy.

Jun: 

Think about it.

Your heat’s close. Your scent has been getting stronger. We all noticed.

Dylan:

You know I can’t control it.

Suppressants just don't work on me.

Jun:

I know.

That's why I figured... Maybe it’s easier this way. 

We already know each other. We live together. 

It’s not ideal, but better than doing it with a stranger.

Dylan: 

So you want to do it. Just like that.

Jun: 

I mean, unless you’ve got someone else lined up. 

I don’t. 

And since you’re no longer seeing Prince charming and you sent your form again, I’m guessing you don’t either.

Dylan: 

I don’t. 

But this is a bad idea.

Jun: 

It is. 

But I’ve seen you before you enter your heat. 

I know it hurts you a lot when you go through it alone.

Dylan: 

Are you not just doing this out of pity?

If it is that, then the answer is no.

Jun:

Me? Doing things out of pity?

I thought you knew me better than that.

I just hate rescheduling rehearsals because you’re curled up in bed trying not to pass out. 

It’s inconvenient. 

This way, we both get what we need and no one misses a cue.

Dylan: 

So, you’d do this for any member?

Jun:

Absolutely not.

Nano’s basically my kid brother. 

Pepper? Gam would rip my throat out. 

Thame? He’d try to flip me. Not happening.

Dylan:

I’m sure Thame would get you to surrender. He’s more alpha than you are.

I mean, he actually knows how to take care of an omega.

Because he has had one. For longer than the four days of his rut.

Jun:

Yeah, yeah. Whatever.

Are you in or not?

Dylan:

You sure this won’t mess things up?

Jun: 

Probably. But what’s life without risks?

Dylan:

Idiot.

Okay. Let’s do this.

 


 

Jun:

So… how's this going to work?

Dylan:

We need rules. I’ll tell you my boundaries and you tell me yours.

Jun:

Okay. You first.

Dylan:

Rule one: no catching feelings.

Jun:

That’s a cliché. And kind of unrealistic.

Dylan:

More like impossible. Who would fall in love with you?

Jun: 

Hey, rude. 

I’m charming. 

In a “barely tolerable” kind of way. Thank you.

Dylan:

If you think so.

 

Jun: 

Rule two: let’s keep it private. Especially from the members.

Dylan:

Obviously. They’d never let us live it down.

Jun:

Thame would kill me.

Dylan:

Yes, he would. 

Third rule: exclusivity. Not fucking someone else during our arrangement. 

Can you manage that?

Jun:

Possessive much? 

Yes, I can do that.

Dylan:

It’s not that, asshole. 

It’s just I don’t want the risk or catching something from some random you fuck.

Jun:

Ouch.

I don’t fuck just anyone for you information.

And I always wear a condom.

Dylan:

That’s another. No condom.

Jun: 

Why?

Dylan: 

I told you. It’s painful. 

During my cycle, it gets bad. 

I need it raw. 

I know how that sounds, but I’m not trying to be reckless. 

It just… hurts less that way.

Jun:

Okay. Thanks for telling me. 

Whatever makes it easier for you.

And don’t worry. I won’t make you beg. 

Unless you want to. 

Dylan:

Jun.

Jun: 

Kidding. 

Mostly.

Dylan: 

We should get tested before anything. 

Just to be sure.

Jun: 

I’m clean. 

Got my panel done after my last rut. You?

Dylan: 

Yeah. Two weeks ago. All good.

Jun:

Cool. Then I guess we’re good to go raw and reckless.

Dylan:

I hate you. 

Jun:

I know. 

Any other rule?

Dylan: 

Just one. We can call it off whenever we want to or get bored.

Jun:

Okay.

Let's try this cycle.

If it sucks, we stop.

Dylan:

Yes. No hard feelings.

Jun:

Deal.

So… we’re doing this?

Dylan:

Yes. No turning back now.

Jun: 

When’s your heat starting?

Dylan:

Should be in about two days. It’s already creeping in.

Jun: 

Got it. I’ll keep my schedule clear.

Dylan: 

Thanks. I’ll let you know if anything shifts.

Jun:

Cool. Talk soon?

Dylan: 

Yeah. 

Night, Jun.

Jun:

Night, Dylan.
