Intro
Unfortunately, Bernard was taking his job as their pack beta very seriously. Well, it was only not so good for Kon but Tim thought it was excellent. Beta’s are the backbone of their society, even with Tim being a beta himself he had more respect for the Beta’s in his life who were capable and kept the pack functioning.
His current task? Keep Kon from tearing up the penthouse. Why? Because despite being only half human, and mostly alien, he likes to heavily lean into that small slice of his DNA which dictates that he is in fact a alpha. He enjoys it, probably because flashing those unfairly large fangs gets the rest of them going bad. So Kon was on time out for the remainder of the time it takes Tim to get back home and also away from Rahim while they were in preheat.
He does this very well.
Tim drops down from his grapple hook, on the terrace of the penthouse he took in a deep breath. Reaching up for his domino mask to discard and walk to the waiting open doors for him, it didn’t take long for him to assess the situation. Having to bite back his amused smirk as he sees the state Kon was in, hair a ruffled mess, his usually soft blue eyes dilated and ear glowing, and his fangs digging into his cheeks.
I’m home. Tim says, his tone unfairly cool and collected given the way Kon growls at him for subjecting him to this punishment. His eyes trained on the sofa across from him where Bernard was, a staring contest so intense it could almost be worrisome if it was for Rahim. Tim smiles, walking in and his hands tugging his gloves off to be clean as he wandered over to the couch with the small nest of blankets assembled. I got back as fast as I could.
Bernard, the steadfast beta he was, didn’t break eye contact with Kon as he was still petting and making Rahim purr in his arms with bliss to peacefully enjoy his preheat. Not a hickey on him. Impressive. Welcome home. He says easily, taking a break to smile up at Tim, look him over for injury on reflex. I was just ready to start on dinner, take this shift? He says jokingly as he gestured down to Rahim who was slowly rousing awake in his arms. Hey, look who’s back.
Kon growls, breaking the blissfully soft and domestic moment. I want to hold him too, he says, voice hoarse and tense from the whole day of being kept away from Rahim. At first it was funny, joking and teasing the omega under Bernard’s careful watch. But then his hand kept getting slapped away, he couldn’t even lay in bed with him, or even a kiss!
He gave in, he’ll admit it, he even had promised not to show his fangs at all. He’s a needy guy, sue him. But then he was denied even cuddling? Cuddling?! Bernard was a cruel beta and the power has gone to his head. He’s a damn tyrant, what about me? Don’t I deserve some love? He says, no shame in whining to Tim who was already grinning and scooping Rahim up to let Bernard go start on dinner.
Oh you’ll get your love, Tim mused as he unhooks his cape to let Rahim snatch it up for his practice nest. As soon as you can apologize for Rahim's last preheat. He says pointedlt ignoring the alpha now on the ground. You know preheats is for the body preparing itself. Have some self control.
