Summary
When Chan wakes the next afternoon, sunlight streaming high through his curtains, he feels fine. No heat, no sickness. He lays there in bed with his eyes closed for a moment, breathing in his and Minho's scents combined. His heart aches, but that's old, familiar pain. After every cycle they spend together, years on years of them every few months like clockwork, Chan swallows down the words he can't drag from behind his teeth, deep-cleans his room to purge the last tantalizing traces of spicy alpha, and pretends he doesn't miss it. Pretends he doesn't want more.
Minho will go back to pushing Chan away, and Chan will pretend his affection is just that of pack leader and hyung. That's all it can be, so that's what it is.
And then Chan gets pregnant, and yearning for your co-parent makes life complicated.
