How was Eijirou supposed to hide his heats from Katsuki now? Assuming Katsuki didn't already know, since his friend had yet to mention anything about Eijirou's smell and he 𝙝𝙖𝙙 said Alphas nest too.
Oh, did Katsuki nest? Eijirou wanted to see that! Maybe Katsuki and him could build one together!
"No, stupid!" Eijirou groaned miserably to himself, smacking his forehead on the cushioned edge of the bed. "That's for courting couples only Ei! You're an idiot!"

A chasm formed in his chest as the thought of Katsuki building a nest with a faceless Omega. An Omega that actually knew what the fuck they were suposed to be doing building a nest and producing the correct pheromones.
Eijirou, on the other hand, didn't even know how he was supposed to sent their room to get rid of the acidic defuser.
He unzipped his gym bag and pulled out his sweat stained muscle tank. When he moved his arm to start waving it around the salty damp smell of mulch hit him in the face making him gag.
Fuck, maybe that was a terrible idea. His sweaty clothes would make the smell worse not better.

Eijirou would have to try a pheromone release. He wasn't good at it. He usually let his scent flow however it wanted, unless someone had a problem. Then he could dull it long enough to get himself patched -entering heat/rut abstained because no one could control that shit +
regardless of how much a person trained their pheromones-.
Eijirou pulled Katsuki's clothes off his shoulder and, yes, buried his face into it so he could inhale something much better smelling than his own stink.

The smoked toffee was such an improvement Eijirou moaned into the shirt… pants? Whichever piece he grabbed. It smelled amazing.
It was stronger than the hoodie he had borrowed. It made Eijirou want to maybe snag one of Katsuki's work-out clothes instead for his next heat.

Eijirou still had to figure out what to do about that. He still had three months, but having a plan never hurt anybody.
"Who am I kidding?" Eijirou mumbled to himself. A frown growing on his whole face. "I'll probably just rent a room from a heat house. Or I could make an excuse to go back home to my parents."
Katsuki's muffled voice startled him out of his thoughts. "It safe yet?"
Eijirou turned to face him trying not to look guilty or startled. He didn't really need to be worried though because once he turned he had the new problem of trying not to laugh his ass off.

Katsuki was hiding, literally peaking around the door like a frightened child! He had his mouth and nose covered with a handkerchief and was glaring over the top of the material.
With a quickly aborted snort that made him choke on air Eijirou answered Katsuki's inquiry. "I think so? I didn't really know what to do but it doesn't smell like the defuser anymore."
With a quietly disgruntled growl Katsuki lowered his handkerchief in order to sniff the air experimentally.
Actually, with it hanging from Katsuki’s hand instead of obscuring his face Eijirou recognised the red and black cloth.

A cloth that was not Katsuki’s. It was, in fact, one of the handkerchiefs that Eijirou tried to keep in his gym bag to wipe the sweat away after working out or sparing.
That particular one had to be replaced just before graduation because it had vanished.

Something that happened quite regularly to his poor handkerchiefs. Eijirou was always forced to rotate his supply because they went missing a lot, but always mysteriously ended up back in his clean laundry after a few weeks.
Seeing Katsuki with it was a bit of a surprise.

“Better I guess.” Katsuki grumbled. He didn’t look all that happy, but at least the tension in his shoulders released. “You destroyed the nest.”
“Ah, Yeah…” Eijirou tried to laugh it off but ended up pouting about it anyway. “It kinda soaked up the defuser, so...”

“Fuckin' shame.” Katsuki spoke quietly again, but not so under breath that Eijirou couldn't hear him.
Was he supposed to answer? No, probably not. Eijirou ended up biting his lip instead.
"C'mon, I'm tired."

Without waiting for an answer Katsuki went for the bed. He paused only to eye the open balcony suspiciously before deciding he wanted to sleep on the far side, closest to said balcony.
Eijirou shrugged, technically Katsuki slept on top of him last time so they hadn't chosen sides of the bed yet. That was a normal thing? Right? To choose the side of the bed you and your partner would sleep on?
Wait! Not partner! Partner sounded like Eijirou was making them out to be more than just friends. Maybe he could call them sleeping buds? Sleeping buds would totally do the same thing right?
So it seemed that Eijirou's side of the bed was going to be closer to their door. No problem. He had a bad habit of needing to piss in the middle of the night, despite how often Katsuki had told him to empty his bladder before bed.
Eijirou flipped the bedside lamp on so he could turn the room light off. He smiled wide when he grabbed his corner of the bedding at the same time Katsuki did. They ended up turning the bed down in unison making Eijirou giggle as they crawled in.
It was natural for the both of them to drift directly to the middle of the bed. Katsuki was turning out to be right about the bed size since there were a handful of centimeters they were not using on both sides. All well. No biggy.
Eijirou was just happy to fip the lamp back off, enveloping the room in darkness, then opening his arms to allow Katsuki into his embrace.
Thankfully Katsuki did just that, scooting closer and tucking himself right up against Eijirou. His nose pressed into his clavicle and he took several deep breaths, arm tightening over Eijirou's middle with each exhale.
Eijirou dug his chin into Katsuki's fluffy hair and closed his eyes. Their breathing started to synchronize and the familiar heaviness in his bones drew him closer to sleep.
"G'night Eijirou."
With a pleasant hum and an accidental release of loving pheromones Eijirou answered back with a soft, "Night 'Tsuki."
