Lottie! Can I get scent marking AND courting for the ABO prompts? Great to have you back!
Thank you, darling! I hope you enjoy!
It had taken Hux a startling amount of time to realise that Kylo was courting him.
In hindsight, he supposes he never saw the gifts and gestures as anything but nuisances or bribes because he’s never been interested in alphas before. As an omega, he has fought against alphas at every point of his life.
They’ve always been the ones standing in his way; his father, his tutors, his superiors, Snoke. Putting him down, beating him and berating him. Why would Kylo Ren be any different?
It so happens, in fact, that Kylo Ren is unlike any alpha he’s ever met.
“How was your day?” Kylo asks, enveloping the omega in his arms as he enters his chambers. They’ve been courting for six standard months, having fallen into a routine when Hux finishes his shift.
In one hand, Kylo holds a bouquet of wildflowers, an array of colours and differently shaped petals. He gives them to Hux with a smile, even bowing his head to him in a mark of upmost respect from an alpha to an omega. Hux notices, of course, and his stomach is sent into a flutter; he never thought an alpha capable of such gentleness.
“Successful. Everything went accordingly on the bridge,” Hux replies, gladly accepting the bouquet. He presses them to his nose, inhaling the fresh scent.
“I was on Floroma earlier today. For a mission. And there was this whole field of wildflowers, with no one else around. They caught my eye. And my nose,” Kylo says.
“They do smell lovely,” Hux says, filling up a cup of water to place them in. He displays them proudly on the coffee table in his seating area (the cup is placed on a coaster, of course).
Kylo takes a seat next to Hux on the couch, their hips touching.
“Can I ask you something, Hux? Is it true that omegas have a stronger sense of smell than alphas?”
Hux pouts, thinking. “I’ve never heard that. I’m sure there are a lot of misconceptions of omegas. Although, I know our scenting glands are stronger.”
“Yes,” Hux says, seeing a faint blush appearing on Kylo’s cheeks. “To attract alphas.”
Hux gets a rush through his veins as he slowly pulls off his gloves, feeling his arousal growing as though he’s sliding off his underwear to reveal the most intimate part of himself. He even pushes his sleeves up to show more of the pale skin of his wrists, where his sensitive scent glands are. He shuffles closer to Kylo, cupping his face before sliding his hand towards the alpha’s ear and leaving his wrist resting on his cheek.
Kylo moans, mouth open and eyes closed. He inhales through his nose, turning his head into the touch until his lips are pressed against Hux’s wrist.
“Oh Hells. Ren,” Hux shudders, allowing Kylo to shower his wrist with kisses.
For an alpha, Kylo’s kisses are gentle and respectful, checking for Hux’s permission before he uses his tongue to draw more of Hux’s alluring scent from his glands. Wanting more, Hux straddles Kylo’s spread legs, sitting chest to chest with him, and dives in for a kiss. He can’t help his bare hands grasping at Kylo’s throat, pawing at the alpha’s own sent glands whilst their lips are locked.
In his desperation to climb onto Kylo’s lap, Hux accidentally kicks the coffee table without noticing and causes the makeshift vase of wildflowers to fall over, but the overpowering smell of alpha and omega pheromones means that the floral scent goes unnoticed by the frenzied couple, as does the pink staining of the one brightly coloured flower in particular.
Its aroma unknowingly fills the air as it lies on the table. The flower is known to the locals as a danger to omegas. It’s colloquially known as the heat bringer.
