Summary
“Sion,” Yushi groans. Dropping the honorifics and everything. “You guys have a nest. You’re basically dating. It’s not cute, you know, to be so possessive.”
Sion frowns. “It’s biology.”
“It’s distasteful,” Yushi says back to him. And Sion briefly wonders where Yushi learned the word distasteful. “You look like a loser.”
Sion frowns even harder. “Hey,” he says.
“Only losers pine after omegas they already have,” Yushi says matter-of-factly. “Loser alpha.”
-
In which Sion finds, pines after, and gets together with the omega of his dreams. Just... um. Not exactly in that order.

Summary
The content proposal comes as a surprise.
“You’re still young, but stats show that the fans want to see you two in the position of caretakers,” the main production noona says. “An alpha and an omega showing that they care for pups is expected to make a big impact, and the show proposed that in order to help with declining birth rates…”
The Return of Superman. The show meant to show alphas with their pups. The show that is full of pups being cute and alphas learning to do the tasks their omega mates do everyday, and all in all, is meant to fuel the innate urge in everyone’s secondary genders to procreate.
Sion and Riku. On that show.
Huh.
-
In which Sion has a revelation or two.

Summary
Tokuno Yushi, once upon a time, was under the impression that he lived a normal life. Chaotic? Sure. Unconventional? Most certainly. But still painfully normal.
But then he debuted in Wish and ended up being the only beta in a dorm full of pups and alphas and whatever Riku has going on, and sure enough, normal is just about the least fitting descriptor he could use to describe the world he’s been thrown into.
Case in point:
“I’m pretty sure Daeyoungie is trying to court you,” Riku says one morning, as the two of them are huddled around the Keurig, half-asleep. “And I’m pretty sure everyone has noticed except for you.”
-
Yushi is perfectly fine with being Wish's beta, thank you very much. He could tell you that he's glad he doesn't have to deal with the same disgusting hormones his hyungs do, and he's had enough of their bullshit as it is.
However, Daeyoung starts acting weird. Touchy, close, a tiny bit possessive. It's not like Yushi minds. He might even like it.
But just to be clear, that doesn't mean Daeyoung wants to court him. Right?

Summary
So it’s a forgone conclusion, really. Sion is going to get his mate those egg tarts if it’s the last thing he ever does.
-
In which Sion films a vlog, visits his hometown, and learns how to best take care of Riku. Again, not necessarily in that order.

Summary
“Hi, sweetheart,” Sion replies. He cradles the phone up to his ear, closing his eyes, letting Riku’s voice wash over him. “How are you?”
“I’m good,” Riku replies. He sounds a little dazed - tired, maybe. “I was watching some concert videos.”
He’s been really into those, recently, no matter how much Sion tells him he doesn’t want Riku getting FOMO. But Riku always insists, and Sion can’t stop him no matter how hard he tries. So he tries to just be supportive, instead.
So Sion hums. “How were they? Were we up to your standards?” Riku was picky, for a little bit, about how Sakuya was covering his lines. Not enough swag, he said on more than one occasion. But that was mostly the anxiety talking.
And yet:
“I wasn’t watching the performance,” Riku says, breathless quality to his voice again. “I was watching you.”
-
Sion and Riku are on opposite sides of Japan. Sion has no qualms about telling the world just how much he misses his "roommate." Riku may have a few feelings about that.

Summary
“When Daeyoung presented as an alpha, he wanted to be a beta,” Sion says. “He wanted you to like him, Yushi. He’s probably just nervous that he’s an alpha and he can’t control his instincts.”
Yushi doesn’t know, really, what to make of that.
Sure, Daeyoung is shy. That’s just a fact of life, really. But there’s never been anything to be scared about - Daeyoung isn’t rabid, or feral, or out of control. Yushi never thought it was anything but cute, the way his puppy-like boyfriend latches onto him and scents him and rubs their wrists together like Yushi has a scent to imprint back onto him.
“You just have to take the reins,” Riku encourages him. “He’s nervous. He’s shy. And what other alpha would let you boss him around, really?” Riku’s grin is a little bit terrifying. “Trust me - it’s awesome.”
-
There is, perhaps, a desire in Yushi for his alpha boyfriend to take the reins. To do more than kissing and cuddling. His alpha hasn't seemed to realize this. In fact, it doesn't seem like he wants to do anything at all.
So Yushi, obviously, has to do all of the work himself. Of course he does.
Daeyoung is just along for the ride.

Summary
“Sion-ssi, Riku-ssi,” she says very, very slowly. “I know that you are still training for debut, but with your cycles coming up-” she passes over a booklet- “we have decided that the best course of action was for you two to start sharing heats and ruts.”
Sion stares down at the paper in his hand. SHARING CYCLES WITH BANDMATES, it says. THE DO’S AND DON’TS. There’s a little SM logo on the top left that lets Sion know that this is not, in fact, some practical joke, but very, very frighteningly real.
Sion looks over at Riku, who has gone pale.
Oh, shit.
“This-” he says slowly. “This can’t-”
“It’s standard procedure for bandmates,” she says, cutting him off. “This is what we do for everyone. It’s to minimize scandal, yes? Minimize cycle sharing outside the pack, yes?” She smiles. “You two are the only presented members in your group. This is protocol.”
-
Sion, the new leader of NCT's new unit, has a lot on his plate. But being ordered to share cycles with his bandmate who can't even look him in the eyes is something entirely different.
But the order comes from the company, and they both have to obey. He has a new rut partner and his name is Maeda Riku.

Summary
It’s Ryo, of course, who interrupts everything. “They said WHAT about Sion hyung’s abs?!”
Immediately, Riku stops purring and his eyes snap open.
Who the fuck is talking about his hyung’s abs.
Apparently this is all no big deal because Sion just sighs as the maknaes break into giggles. Which only really makes Riku more suspicious as he sits up and looks at the pups. “It’s just a fan, jagi,” Sion says. He drags Riku back down to his lap, stroking his hair. “They’ve gotten passionate about my face, recently.”
“This noona says she wants to lick off your sweat, hyung!” Sakuya calls. “And she wants to smell you, and-”
“Let me see,” Riku demands, scent souring just at the idea of anyone else getting close enough to smell his alpha. “What else are they saying about my hyung.”
-
Riku is back and everything is fine. He's a little mad that their entire fanbase seemingly wants to see his alpha shirtless but really, he's fine. He doesn't even care. Really.
(Well. Maybe he cares a little bit.)
