Jaemin swears he's going crazy.
With a nose as sensitive as his, he's used to different smells assaulting him throughout the day. Though, he has to say, living with you has been both a blessing and a curse. At the time, the idea of moving in with his best friend was a fantastic one, especially since he's so desperately in love with you that he'd do anything for you. Only, now, he realizes how horrible that idea truly was.
Your scent is like a drug, intoxicating his every nerve, surrounding him at all times of the day. It's never bothered him this much before, not that is ever could bother him, really. Only, he's never been this affected by it before.
While you were out the other day, Jaemin had snuck into your room to steal one of your sweaters. He does this often enough that you wouldn't question him when you got home to see him wearing your clothes, only this time, when he put it on, his whole body had shuddered.
Nose twitching, he had brought the fabric up to his face and inhaled. The deep, guttural moan he had let out had his cheeks heating and his ears turning red.
He couldn't help it. Rushing to his room, he had quickly shut and locked his door, practically stripping himself down so that he was only wearing your sweater. After all, how else is he supposed to get covered in your scent while you're not around?
Later that day, once you had come back, Jaemin had come out of his room looking quite skittish. When you had asked him is he was okay, he had jumped at the sound of your voice, his nose twitching as he turned to look at you.
"Yeah," he cleared his throat, "just great."
Of course, he wasn't going to tell you that he got off quite a few times while wearing your sweater earlier. And of course he's not going to be wearing it for the moment, not with the stains now covering the material.
In the back of his mind, he derived a twisted pleasure from having something of yours now covered in his scent. Only, he wanted more.
That should be you covered in his scent. Not just your sweater.
The next day, when Jaemin woke up drenched in sweat and practically twitching for everything you, he realized what was happening. He's in heat.
Well, fuck. Jaemin will have to traverse the next few days carefully, lest he wants to scare you off for good. Never has he experienced such an intense feeling like this before. Normally, his heats last a few days, and he aches a bit, but he manages. Cold showers are his best friend during this time, so he starts with one now.
As soon as he steps into the living room, he sees you sitting on the couch, and he is struck by the overwhelming urge to claim you. To indulge in his desires and finally make you his. To show you exactly what you're missing every time you've touched yourself in the middle of the night with Jaemin listening closely and practically salivating at the sweet scent of you permeating the air. So many times has he wanted to go over and help you, in any way he can, but he had to hold himself back. The only problem now is, he doesn't know how much longer he can.
"Morning," you greet looking up from your phone, only, when you meet his gaze, worry immediately takes over your features. "Holy fuck, Jaemin, are you feeling okay?"
Simply hearing you say his name nearly sends him to his knees and he curses himself. Since when have you made him feel like he was a teenager again who had no control over his hormones?
"Yeah," he clears his throat as he sees you get up from the couch and approach him, "I'm fine."
"Are you sure? You don't look okay." By now, you're right in front of him, your hand coming up to his face to check if he's running a fever. "You're burning up!"
The only thing burning in him is his desire for you.
Jaemin practically melts into your touch, especially when your hand moves to cup his cheek. Shifting his head slightly, he angles himself so that your hand is practically holding the side of his jaw, rubbing as much of his chin onto your hand as he can.
One thought continuously flits through his mind. Scenting you.
Curiously, you withdraw your hand, shooting him a concerned look in the process. "I'll go make you some soup."
No, what you should be making is a nest for the two of you to spend the next three days in while he completely ravishes you like he's always desired. Besides, he's got energy to burn, and if he doesn't do something about it soon, he might just combust.
So he whines, wrapping his arms around your figure and burying his face into the side of your neck. "Can you just hold me for a while?"
You blink, a little caught off guard again by his actions as your arms carefully wrap around his back, gently stroking along his spine. He shivers. "Of course."
A minute passes, and all you can hear is his deep breathing in your ear. Each exhale is shaky, and you swear he might just start wheezing if you don't do something to help him soon.
What you don't expect, however, is for Jaemin to pull himself away of his own accord. It's difficult, but he does it, and already he looks a lot better.
Instantly, it's like a switch has flipped in him, and he's back to his usual, chipper self.
"So, what's the plan for today?" He asks, smile on his face as he begins to pace around you.
You chuckle as you watch him circling you, a literal spring to his step as his contagious smile spreads across his lips.
"Well, I don't have anything planned, so how about we just relax and watch some movies?" You offer, and you swear he perks up even more.
"I also want to keep an eye on you, mister." You shoot him a playfully stern look. "I'm worried. So, if you start feeling worse again, let me know, and I really will make you that soup."
"Okay," he hums, beginning to lead you over to the couch.
Five minutes later and Jaemin has you wrapped in his arms on the couch while the beginning of his favourite movie plays on screen. His chin rests on your shoulder and despite the heat searing through his body, he could not be happier. Finally, he has you right where he wants you, where you've always belonged.
About halfway through the movie, you begin to feel Jaemin nuzzling against you. It's subtle at first, a slight shift here and there, until he's full on rubbing his chin all over your neck and shoulder. He breaths come in uneven pants and his grip tightens around you, pulling you even closer to him. Before you know it, he's got you pinned beneath him.
"Jaemin?" Your eyes are wide as he practically moans when you say his name. "Jaemin, is everything alright?"
His voice trembles, "never better."
Your brow furrows, "you're burning up again."
"I need-" his face is buried right in the hollow of your neck, his body pressing into yours as he struggles to get the words out, "I need-"
"What is it?" You begin to stroke his back once more comfortingly, unknowingly making his desire for you grow even more. "What can I get you? What do you need?"
"You." Jaemin manages to pull away just enough to stare deeply into your eyes, and what you see swirling behind his dark gaze causes your breath to hitch. "I need you."
