"S... I'll see you guys in a week." He quickly dismisses himself before booking it out of the lounge, face flushed a bright red.

Still huddled underneath the covers, I sit up near the top of the bed as the door flings open. "Hunk, Pid- Keith? Back so soon?"

"No time-! I'll be back in an hour. Pidge and Hunk are right behind me." Keith huffs before grabbing his items and slamming open the bathroom door.

"Okay..." I mumble before the front door opens again as Pidge and Hunk now open the door; both wearing masks. "Hey guys."

"Hey buddy... How are you feeling? Need anything?" Hunk asks as Pidge looks around in confusion.

"Great! And food and water would be nice. I haven't eaten since we got trapped in here." I smiled as Hunk and Pidge shared a look. "What?"

"Are you and Keith... a thing?" Pidge asks as I jump back. "I mean don't get us wrong, that's great since we know that you've like him for so long. Just... what he's been through..."

"You guys really think that I'd take advantage of him?" I ask, shellshocked. "I'm not that kind of person! I'd never force myself onto an omega just because nature called. And I'd never treat someone like Keith like that either. He's strong and if I even had the idea, he'd kick my ass."

Pidge nods. "That's good. But are you two a thing?"

"I... I don't know. I want to ask to court him after this week. I'm in rut and he's in heat. We're not in the position to do anything." I mumble as Hunk places a hand on my head.

"What about this week then? Are you two spending it together?" Hunk questions. Before I can open my mouth, Pidge answers for me.

"He can't really leave. He's already claimed the area with his scent and he's scented Keith. If he doesn't spend it with Keith, especially since it's his first heat, then Keith could suffer from trust issues and Lance could go feral." She explains as I nod.

"Yeesh. Well... I hope that goes better than it sounds. Do you guys have protection?" Hunk asks as I squint my eyes.

"Protection? For...?" I question back as Pidge looks at Hunk in confusion.

"Um... I forgot you're not in the right mind at the moment. Do you have condoms or birth control?" Hunk asks again, turning flushed from asking in detail.

"Keith should have birth control around here. I didn't plan for this so no condoms... But why do we need them?" I ask again, everything turning slightly fuzzy.

"Oh boy, he's zoning out..." Hunk whispers to Pidge as she sighs.

"Because he's going to want to mate with you. Open your eyes, idiot!" She shouts as I jump up again. "Geez, now we're going to go and buy you some condoms. Hunk will stay and make food. Whatever you do... stay... awake."

"Stay... awake... Got you." I slur before the door closes and I zone out once again.

Feeling a shiver move down my spine, I try to reach for the sheet that was somehow lower than my waist before feeling something cold and slimy.
