Velite had been trying to build up the courage to ask Argenti to well… knot him. He has been trying for a week now. He didn't know why he was so damn nervous.

The alpha had already bitten him, claiming him.

So why was he so damn nervous?

He swallowed, shaking his head. He trusted the knight, he loved him even.

He wouldn't have asked him to bite him if he hadn't loved him, and Argenti wouldn't have agreed if he hadn't loved him back.

So surely he could ask the man to knot him, right?

The IPC worker groaned, burying his face into his hands.

After a few moments of feeling sorry for himself, and trying to figure out how to bring this… topic up. He looked over at his phone.

He sighed, shaking his head.

Deciding he'll just suck it up and deal with it.

No harm in trying, right?

He grabbed his phone, going to his contacts. And with a small bit of confidence, he clicked on Argenti's contact and began texting.

[Velite]: Argenti? Can I ask you something?

[Argenti]: Of course my love, what troubles you?

[Velite]:...

[Velite]: It's a bit out of the blue.

[Velite]: Feel free to say no.

[Argenti]: Why would I ever say no to you, my love?

[Velite]: It's embarrassing but..

[Velite]: …

[Velite]: I want you to knot me.

…

Maybe he should ask what he wants more often because right now Velite was whining, nuzzling his face into his alpha's neck. Feeling so much pleasure and full of the alpha's cock.

Argenti held him close, his large arms wrapped around the IPC worker like a giant blanket. Thrusting so deeply into him with that large cock of his.

“Ar– Argenti..!” Velite cried out when the alpha's cock hit his prostate, his nails digging into the knight's shoulders. 

The knight smiled against Velite's neck. “You're doing so good, my love.” He whispered. “You're so beautiful, so amazing.”

Each compliment, each praise, made the IPC worker cry. He wanted to refute them like he always did, but he couldn't bring himself to when he felt his alpha's cock hit all the best spots inside of him.

The knight pulled him into a kiss, which Velite gladly returned.

“Please–...o- oh Aeons!-- A- Argenti!” The IPC worker whined pitiful as they kissed, nails still digging into Argenti's shoulders and back.

The alpha pulled back before biting down on the claim mark, earning a pitiful yet pleasurable cry from the omega. “I love you so much, my dear.” He whispered.

“Argentiiii…!” Velite whined, he was practically melting in the praises and compliments. It was doing unspeakable things to his brain.

The knight smiled lovingly, kissing the corners of Velite's lips gently. “I'm going to knot you, okay, my love?” He murmured, earning a quick nod from the much smaller man.

Velite whined as he shakily moved a hand into his alpha's hair, tugging him into another kiss. Argenti gladly returned as his knot began to swell inside of the IPC worker.

Fuck.

If Velite hadn't felt so full before, he definitely was full now.

The IPC worker whined again (he's pretty sure that's all he can do at this point), as Argenti's knot locked them together.

Argenti broke the kiss, placing gentle kisses along Velite's face and jaw. Whispers of compliments and encouragement escaping his lips.

It made Velite feel special and cherished.

The alpha shifted ever so slightly, careful not to move his knot too much. “Please– please don't leave–” Velite tried to protest and whine, only to be gently quieted by the knight by a gentle kiss.

“Shh, I won't leave your side, my love. I will never leave.” He whispered, his voice gentle and loving as always.

It soothed Velite and his omega instincts.

His mate wasn't going to leave him. Not ever.

…

Nothing could've prepared Velite for the news he had just received today when he had gone in for a usual checkup, it was mandatory for all IPC members and employees to get the checkup.

Wilder, his twin brother, was also with him for the checkup this time. Mainly because Wilder needed to go in too (Wilder tends to be very busy and sometimes would put his appointments off until Velite or their parents force him to)

“How the hell are you pregnant!? Who!? Who is it brother!?” Wilder was (rightfully and understandably) freaking out.

Velite was just as freaked out as he was. Because he and Argenti had never talked about having kids.

So of course he's freaked out himself. “Wait, did an alpha force–” “No! Of course not!” Velite quickly cut his brother off.

The beta looked at him like he had gone crazy (he probably is). “Then what happened?! Who's the alpha?” Wilder huffed.

Fuck how was Velite going to explain this?

“Look– I– yes, I do have an alpha now..” Velite began to carefully explain. “B– But he didn't force himself on me! In fact, he's not like any of the alphas you protected me from back then!” He said.

Wilder gave him an unconvinced look. “But we never talked about having kids!” Velite said. “Oh Aeons– how am I gonna tell him?!” He buried his head into his hands.

Wilder stared for a bit before shaking his head, sighing. “IF he's not any of the alphas we have encountered as you say, then I'm sure he'll understand.” He begrudgingly said, nudging him.

Velite was about to say something until his brother spoke again: “But I'm meeting your boyfriend one way or another! I need to make sure you are being treated well!” Wilder huffed.

“I can take care of myself! I'm a grown man!” Velite protested. “So!?” Wilder retorted. “You're my little brother!”

Velite snorted. “Only by a minute! We're twins!” He huffed, Wilder just grinned. “Still younger than me.” He said. Velite glared at him.

“...but fine, you can meet him.” Velite sighed, knowing damn well Wilder will find a way. Whether that'd be using the IPC method or his own method.

Wilder perked up. “Great! When?”

…

Well.

Wilder has seen some weird shit in his lifetime, weird customers too. But seeing a knight in shining armor was… not on his bingo card.

A literal knight in shining armor.

And damn Wilder can smell how potent this alpha was. It was at these moments he was glad that he was a beta.

Cause damn some alphas or omegas have some interesting scents. (Given his job, he has met strange things & people)

The knight looked taller than his twin brother, it baffled Wilder. The man had long red hair the reached to his shoulders, perhaps further down. He was wearing silver armor with golden trims. And he smelled like roses and was that perfume Wilder also smelled?

This was the alpha that Velite liked?

Wilder didn't think it'd be possible that his twin brother would get a mate with his pessimistic personality of his but he was proven wrong apparently.

“You're my brother's boyfriend?” He blurted out, squinting his eyes at him. Obviously trying to make sense of this, and trying to see if this knight–that Velite introduced him as Argenti–had ulterior motives with Velite.

“Greetings, brother of Velite, I'm Argenti, a knight of beauty, a follower of the Aeon Idrila. It is nice to finally meet you, Velite has spoken of you many times.”

Wilder looked a bit caught off guard, his body stiffening a bit as Argenti introduced himself in a very elegant way. (He'll admit, his brother had some weird tastes)

“Uh…” Wilder's gaze shifted towards Velite, who just shrugged, seemingly used to this sort of thing. “...nice to meet you too.” He finished, looking back at Argenti–or more like looking back up at Argenti.

Right.

He was here for something else.

The Festival Operations Manager tried his best to not seem a little bit to be intimidated. (Can you blame him? He may be a beta but Velite had talked so much about the alpha on the way here that Wilder felt a little intimidated but he isn't going to admit that)

“Now- I have questions for you!” Wilder began. “What are you planning to do with my brother? Were you planning on forcing him to do what he wants? Were you going to leave him alone to take care of the kid?”

Wilder caught a glare of ‘shut up you moron!’ from Velite.

Argenti looked… surprised at the kid part. “Fear not, brother of Velite, I have no intention of hurting your brother. Nor do I have any intention of forcing your brother to do things he's unwilling to do.” He said, Wilder visibly looked caught off guard. “But as for the child, what do you mean?” Argenti asked.

Wilder watched his brother bury his head into his hands. He felt a little bad that he was the one to spill the beans.

After a few minutes, and due to Velite's omega instincts (since the pregnancy hormones haven't kicked in, at least from what Wilder could tell), his brother started sobbing.

The knight quickly and gently scooped Velite into his arms, gently comforting him. 

Wilder awkwardly stood there, watching Argenti gently comfort his brother, who was slowly calming down (slowly though). “It is alright my love, do not fret.” He said softly, placing a soft kiss on Velite's lips.

Well. If Wilder wasn't awkward before, he certainly was now.

He watched his brother kiss the knight back, and– oh things were getting a bit spicy. So Wilder cleared his throat, signaling he was still there.

Velite jumped with a squeak, his face red.

“My apologies, brother of Velite.” Argenti said. The Festival Operations Manager couldn't tell if the knight truly felt sorry but he's assuming yes because of the sincerity in the alpha's voice.

Wilder has a feeling he should leave them be so they can talk about that kid of theirs. “Don't do that again in front me and–” He looked at Velite. “--you're going to tell mom and dad about this.” He said.

Velite let out a quiet huff but nodded. “Fine.” He mumbled. Wilder then sighed. “I'm going to leave so you two can talk about this kid.” 

With that, Wilder left the room.

Fuck what did he just got himself into?
