Tomato Soup (and grilled cheese) - Part 1

Jeongguk watched as Taehyung paced around the kitchen. The omega had his phone pressed between his ear and his shoulder, speaking excitedly into it about the new bakery that had opened around the corner. The line crackled with his mother’s voice as they planned a visit to try all the strawberry flavoured treats.

One habit of Taehyung’s was walking in circles when on the phone with someone. The alpha had picked up on it over the years and it had made its way onto the “Things I Love About Taehyung” list, as mundane as it was.

A ping from his inbox brought Jeongguk back to the task in front of him. His brows furrowed as he read through the email. The new intern had bricked the system his team was testing on Friday and so he had volunteered to spend his Saturday morning troubleshooting it. The latest update on the matter was from the intern asking him for clarification on a directive.

He really didn’t mind helping. Mistakes happen and Jeongguk was all too familiar with the nervousness that plagued new hires.  He had been in those shoes at one point, so he had a lot of sympathy for them. Shooting off another email with detailed instructions to the intern, he sighed as slumped back onto the sofa.

Damn, his back hurt. The older had opted to work from the living room sofa that morning. Laptop perched on the coffee table, he leaned forward straining his back as he hit send. Jeongguk really did not like being in his office on weekends, not after 5 years at his current company where he had put in the effort to secure his job for so long and now he deserved to spend his time off as he pleased.

And so here he was, taking peaks at Taehyung as he circled around the kitchen. The omega laughed at something his mother said, hand pressed to his belly as the sounds floated around their living room.

Then his eyes were snapping to meet Jeongguk’s.

“You want to speak with Jeongguk?”

A silent question. The alpha nodded his assent.

Taehyung’s hips swished as he made his way towards his mate to hand the phone off to him. Jeongguk’s eyes lingered on him, the younger’s hand still pressed to his belly. A new habit of Taehyung’s perhaps. Jeongguk would commit it to memory soon enough.

“Maa, how are you and appa?”

The older gently pushed his laptop away as he made space for Taehyung to sit on his lap. The alpha knew what his mate wanted, his hand outstretched to guide the younger. Taehyung grinned as he settled onto his favourite seat.

“Jeongukkie! Appa and I are fine. It's been so cold this week! I heard there will be a snowstorm on Monday. Be careful out there okay? Don’t let my son drag you out for a walk like he did last time!”

Taehyung’s mother was as excitable as her son, and most likely even more so. Her loud voice rang through the phone, making Taehyung whine and bury his face in Jeongguk’s neck as he overheard the accusation .

“You worry too much maa,” The alpha chuckled. “I learned my lesson, no more walks in 3 feet of snow. I will keep Taehyung out of trouble too.”

“Of course! Now, tell me, will you be home later this evening? I made banana ice cream with the ice cream maker we bought at the Christmas market last year. It’s been collecting dust in our storage so Appa brought it out last week. We had a grand time figuring out how to use that thing! I made some coffee cake for Tae-bear as well. Figured we’d swing by to drop them off sometime today.”

“Oh I remember you buying that! I’m glad you were finally able to use it, Appa was so excited to buy it. We’ll be home tonight so feel free to come anytime. Tae and I made sorrel juice so we can enjoy them all together.”

The alpha’s conversation with his mate’s mother droned on, the older lady eventually passing the phone to her husband to let the two speak.

Taehyung had made himself comfortable in the meanwhile, listening to the quiet rumble of Jeongguk’s chest. Jeongguk was always soft spoken. Never too loud. Voice soft and calming as he made small talk with the omega’s father. Taehyung loved that his mate and his parents got along so well. Needless to say, Jeongguk’s parents absolutely adored him too. It was a seamless integration of families and the pair were thankful for it.

In fact, in the earlier years of their relationship, Jeongguk and Taehyung had a playful competition about who was more loved by their inlaws (the results were inconclusive).

Jeongguk’ arm had come to wrap around the younger at some point, his palm pressed to the omega’s tummy over his own. Their thumbs intertwined. It had Taehyung purring lowly into the alpha’s neck as he nosed at his scent gland, drowning in the coffee scent. His thoughts faded away, focused on the feeling of being his mate’s hold.

“Tae...”

“Tae?”

The younger was broken out of his trance as Jeongguk called for him. He pulled back to peer lazily at the older.

“Alpha?”

Jeongguk smirked at how adorable his omega looked. Soft cheeks and sleepy eyes, lips pouty at having his scenting session interrupted.

“Hey pretty baby~”

“Hi alpha.”

“Your parents will be coming over this evening with ice cream and cake. We have sorrel juice, but I thought that we could make some pasta, turn it into a small dinner. What do you say?”

Taehyung hummed his agreement. They had pesto sauce, cherry tomatoes, and penne at home. It would be a quick fix.

“Ok, do we need any groceries? I can make a quick run soon.”

The omega seemed displeased at the offer, he wrapped his arms around Jeongguk’s waist as he shook his head.

“No! Want you with me today. Stay Gukkie, we can think of groceries later.”

Jeongguk was quick to press a kiss onto Taehyung’s lips. “Okay pretty, I’ll be here. Let’s cook together today, ‘kay?”

“M‘kay.”

Taehyung seemed more clingy recently. The two of them have always enjoyed proximity, but the omega’s recent behaviour definitely stood out. Not that Jeongguk minds. He loves when Taehyung is needy, eager to give his mate what he wants, yet something just feels off .

It had been niggling the alpha at the back of his mind for the past week. Recently Taehyung seemed exhausted when he came home, hated being away from Jeongguk for more than 5 minutes, and emptied an entire jar of Nutella in just 2 days.

Well, that last one wasn’t all that out of the ordinary Jeongguk supposes. He had once walked into Taehyung’s apartment during their college days only to find the omega in the middle of a stress-eating frenzy. Chocolate smeared on his mouth and cheeks while hand deep in a jar of Nutella, looking up at him caught like a deer in headlights. But that would be a story for another time.

Maybe his odd behaviour was a result of stress. Jeongguk decided to not prod him about it now when Taehyung seemed sensitive. He hugged the omega close, rubbing a soothing hand on his back as Taehyung busied himself with his scent glands.

The laptop lit up with another notification from the intern. Asking for admin credentials to upload the firmware. Jeongguk pulled the laptop closer, rather than leaning forward, to punch them in and authorize the upload. And now he waited for the intern to test the system again.

Taehyung had started to nose at the mating mark on Jeongguk’s neck. Slowly, his tongue flickered out to lick at it, his hips rocked shyly into the alpha’s quickly hardening cock.

Jeongguk groaned at the feeling of a lapful of his sweet mate. He threaded a hand into the hair at the back of Taehyung’s head, tugging softly as his eyes fluttered close at the attention his mating mark was getting. The other came to settle on the younger’s waist, neither hindering nor aiding his actions, just holding. He basked in the feeling, tilting his head backward to expose more of his neck to Taehyung’s mercy.

The omega’s lips migrated along the column of older’s neck, dropping kisses on his adam's apple, then under his chin, right under his lips, tongue teasing the alpha’s upper lip, and finally pressing a soft kiss onto his lower lip.

“Alpha~”

“Yes, pretty?”

“Want you, please.”

“But you already have me. I’m right here.”

Taehyung huffed at the feigned obliviousness. A lazy smile played on Jeongguk’s lips at his mate’s frustration.

“Needy pup.” Jeongguk fisted the brown curls in one hand, using it to tug Taehyung’s head back. The omega mewled at the action.

“You’re going to have to tell me what you want from me sweetheart.”

Taehyung’s lower lip slipped under his teeth, drawing Jeongguk’s attention to it. “Anything alpha. Please? Anything you want~”

The omega was always eager to please, but he could usually tell Jeongguk exactly what he wanted. This was, once again, unusual. Jeongguk wouldn’t have even picked up on it if it weren’t for the other small non-habits of Taehyung’s that had been snowballing over the past week.

Pushing the thought to the back of his mind, the older slipped a hand under his lover’s fluffy white sweater. His palm traced from his tummy up to the swell of his tits, caressing one while he thumbed gently at the nipple. Taehyung sighed at the feeling, shuddering at the rush of air when Jeongguk brought the hem of his sweater up to his lips, ordering him to hold onto it with his mouth.

Jeongguk’s mouth watered at the expanse of honey skin on display. His eyes travelled from the small belly button, through the slowly expanding and contracting abdomen as Taehyung breathed, up to the swell of his breasts. Each mound topped with a cute pinkish brown nipple.

The alpha took a minute just to admire the sight, his hand explored Taehyung’s torso starting from the mating mark on his neck, teasing his nipples on the way down, then palming at the skin under his navel, above his womb. The omega hummed at the feeling, content.

“So pretty Tae, my pretty omega~”

“All for me, pup. So gorgeous.”

The younger preened at the praise, arching his back slightly to push his tummy into the greedy hand, the movement offering his tits to his alpha. Jeongguk swooped in to taste his nipples, suckling onto one as he urged the omega to continue rolling his hips onto the hard-on.

Taehyung’s eyes were closed, focused on the feeling of his mate’s mouth on his chest and his clothed cock rutting deliciously against his clit. As Jeongguk switched boobs, the cold attacked the recently abandoned spit-slick nipple, making it sensitive.

The older eventually detached from the supple swell of the omega’s chest in favour of tasting his lips. He gently pulled the sweater from Taehyung’s teeth, finding it damp from his saliva, a thin string connected the younger’s bottom lip to the white fabric before it snapped. Jeongguk cupped his cheeks as he brought his lover in for a kiss. His tongue dipped into Taehyung’s mouth, languid in his exploration.

Taehyung tasted of the pancakes they had for breakfast, he liked to drench them in syrup and top them generously with strawberries and chocolate chips. A habit so, just so Taehyung , that Jeongguk’s heart squeezes with adoration every time. Of course, that was also on the aforementioned list the alpha has been maintaining over the years. He had lost track of the number of reasons at this point, just carefully filing away every new thing he found out about his mate.

The pair hummed into each other’s mouths in appreciation as their tongues tangled. Jeongguk slipped his fingers into Taehyung’s avocado patterned pajama pants. Not the best for the weather, but the omega had been feeling uncomfortable in fleece leggings for the past couple days, claiming they were too suffocating.

Jeongguk paused briefly. No underwear . His chest rumbled with a growl. Fuck .

“Going commando baby?”

Taehyung only rolled his hips faster in response, opting to chase after the older’s lips when their kiss was interrupted by the discovery rather than dignifying the alpha with a verbal response.

Jeongguk was not pleased. He used the hand that was cupping Taehyung’s cheek to catch his face, squishing his cheeks on either side to hold him in place. The omega’s lips puckered slightly under the alpha’s firm hold.

“Look at me sweetheart.”

Taehyung's eyes settled on his mate’s. Round and questioning, not aware of much else other than the way his thick fingers teased his pink petal pussy lips. Jeongguk studied his omega’s face, admiring the way his eyes fluttered close and lips parted slightly when he slipped a finger into his winking hole and thumbed at his clit. Disobedient .

“Needy little pup, I said look at me.”

His grip on the younger’s face tightened just a bit, bringing his attention back. Taehyung peered at the alpha, blinking a couple times before focusing on his eyes. Jeongguk directed his attention to the omega’s eyes. One monolid, one double eyelid. Straight long lashes. Rounded brown eyes. Innocent looking. Jeongguk had drawn them many times at his art elective during university. And still, years later, he found himself sketching them absentmindedly when things were slow at work.

“You’ve got the prettiest eyes. My pretty baby. Did you use them to put me under a spell? Hmm?”

Taehyung giggled at the words.

“Jeonggukie, you’re so cheesy.”

When the alpha simply grinned, Taehyung gasped and wiggled his eyebrows.

“Ooh! Do you have a crush on me~?”

The older laughed at the ridiculous accusation. They were mated and married for 4 years, together for 7. He chose to play along.

“How did you know?!”

“Hmm, let’s just say a little birdie told me…”

“Did the birdie also tell you that your needy little pussy happens to be sucking my finger into it? Hmm?”

Just then, Jeongguk fed another finger into the wet hole, letting Taehyung slant his lips over his as he moaned at the combination of filthy words and added stretch. Their noses bumped into each other as Jeongguk used the hand not stuffed into his pussy to help the omega rock into his fingers, adding another when he felt the slippery cunt clench around his appendages.

His thumb was occupied as he played with Taehyung’s clit, gently rolling and stroking. After so many years together, he had an intricate map of the younger’s body, knowing exactly how to please him.

Taehyung eventually pulled away from their liplock, lips pink and plump. Jeongguk once again brought his sweater up to his mouth, silently commanding him to hold onto it. With his chest once again exposed, the older guided his lover’s hand from where it laid on his strong shoulders to his own nipple.

“Play with it sweetheart, let me see you touch yourself.”

The younger whined, as his fingers brushed over his sensitive bud. He circled over it and flicked at it with his thumb, shuddering with pleasure. Jeongguk watched the show, cock painfully hard at this point, almost drooling at the sight. He then latched onto the nipple that wasn’t being given any attention, laving over it with his tongue and sucking on it.

Taehyung cried out as his orgasm hit. His hips speed up momentarily as the alpha helped him ride it out, cunt drooling around his fingers. The older’s thumb still languidly circled his clit, drawing out the last few waves of his high. Taehyung’s fingers had abandoned his nipple in favour of holding onto his alpha, the sweater hem dropped from his lips, fluffy white fabric pooling on Jeongguk’s head which was still attached to the omega’s tit.

Just as Taehyung was tipping into oversensitivity, Jeongguk drew back, stopping his ministrations. He reached up to drop some kisses to soothe the omega as he came down from his high. Both his arms wrapped around the younger, smearing slick onto his waist in the process. Not that Taehyung minded.

The pair smiled at each other now that Taehyung was settled. He pawed at Jeongguk’s erection, eager for the alpha to get his pleasure. Jeongguk moaned at the attention to his cock. He dropped his head onto the omega’s shoulder as the younger reached past the waistband of his sweatpants and boxers to run his hand along the length of the twitching hardness.

“Off. Wanna touch you Gukkie.”

Demanding . The alpha obeyed, gently shifting Taehyung onto the couch before standing up to let the omega have his way. The younger pulled down his boxers just enough to free his straining cock. It bobbed, angry red, veiny, with precum pooling at the slit as it brushed against Taehyung’s chin.

He used one hand to slightly push Jeongguk’s forest green sweater up, and kissed from his exposed navel down to his crotch. The alpha’s coffee scent mingled with a hint of musk, all too familiar.

Taehyung looked up, finding Jeongguk’s eyes trained on him, jaw set and tongue in cheek. This had been one of the earliest entries in Taehyung’s mental list titled “My Sweet Bunny, Jeonggukie’s, Sweeter Habits.” He giggled everytime he thought of the name. Jeongguk was aware neither of the existence of this list nor its very (un)fortunate name.

The omega smiled at his own thoughts as he gently flicked his tongue out to taste the tip of Jeongguk’s cock. The alpha moaned throatily at the sight, his hand grasped onto Taehyung’s soft brown locks. Taehyung gave the mushroom head a couple more kitten licks, lapping up the precum gathered there.

“Tae… baby. Fuck .”

The younger left a kiss onto the head before latching onto it, suckling softly as he peered up at his husband’s face. Jeongguk hissed in pleasure, the hand on the back of Taehyung’s head simply held on, not pushing or pulling. It was there just to ground the alpha.

Just as Taehyung’s tongue peaked out to trace the shaft, Jeongguk’s laptop pinged. The younger pulled back at the sound, leaving the alpha momentarily confused about what just happened.

“Alpha, it seems you’re busy. We can do this another time~” Taehyung teased his mate.

Jeongguk’s brain finally caught up with the situation. He whined, reminding Taehyung of a petulant pup. The omega chuckled. He stood up, pressing a quick kiss to his neck as his hand circled the waiting cock.

“Gukkie, take care of work first. Don’t leave the poor intern hanging. I’m always here. We can pick up right after. Okay?”

Jeongguk thanked the stars for such an understanding mate. The two were partners in every sense of the word, never hogging the other’s attention from their career, friends, or family. No matter what, they were there for each other and they understood the importance of their jobs.

“Okay baby, fuck, okay. I won’t be long.”
