Becoming the Luna

Virgil wakes up to a muffled cry, eyes flying open swiftly as his senses instantly reach out for his mate…

Was Hayden hurt?

As it registers that Hayden isn't in his arms again is the same time he registers that someone is sitting on him.

"Baby?" Virgil whispers in horror as he takes in Hayden who is slumped over him, wearing nothing but Virgil's shirt from the night before, sweatpants gone.

A braced against his torso to hold his weight up, the other hand clamped over his mouth to middle his noises, he was sitting on Virgil's hard dick, the ice cold feeling that settled in the Alpha's gut at this realization stopping him from even feeling the pleasure although he was currently orgasming.

Hayden just crawls up his chest, cheeks red, eyes drowsy, he still keeps them joined as he comes over to kiss Virgil senseless.

"You know, it feels really good to have your way." Hayden mutters to him, cheeks redder.

Virgil just pants slightly from the kiss, his eyes wide, he had underestimated his mate, he really had.

Just because his mate preferred to be passive most of the time didn't mean that he couldn't retaliate, he was learning that the hard way.

His baby really wanted to get pregnant, he mused to himself, how sad that it had to be the one thing Virgil couldn't give.

He reaches up to frame Hayden's face with his hands, movements a little aggressive. "I love you, baby."

Hayden sighs. "I know."

He also knew that the battle line had also been drawn, they loved each other too much to even have a emotionally debilitating fight so instead they had converted it to a competition of sorts.

He would try to get pregnant while Virgil would do all he could to stop that, because nothing was worse to the other than denying their mates what they wanted even if it was something they couldn't provide.

Hayden knew that Virgil would throw his all into it because very few things terrified his mate but he wasn't giving up, the thought of having his and Virgil's child had been such a wild dream, now that it was within grasp, he wasn't letting it go.

He slumps to the side, Virgil popping out of him with a wet squelch, this was a weird situation indeed, it had come to a battle of wills, the sun was rising now, splashing the colors of the morning across their tangled up bodies.

Hayden dozes off again only to wake up a couple hours later in very high spirits and all alone on their big and slept in bed.

He's not surprised to see Virgil gone but he is surprised to see that his mate had cleaned him up, he gets off the bed absently, wondering if Virgil had eaten breakfast.

Probably just coffee and dry toast, he shakes his head, he would come back to cook lunch for him.

He would also go down to the store first the morning, Yanis could tag along and then he could get some perfect sleeping potion from his witch friend.

Virgil would be extra careful around him and the Alpha would most likely easily smell out any pharmaceutical drug, well then he would go juju with his plans.

He practically skips over to the bathroom, in ridiculous high spirits, although he could feel cum squelching on each step, maybe he should look into buying a buttplug.

Breakfast is a large affair and he rings up Yanis to come join him eat, he had to eat healthy to prepare for the incoming baby…

That's right, he had already been on the right side of almost too thin, he didn't want to do anything that would endanger the baby.

Maybe later on Dream could look through some catalogues on dieting with him, he would find out the best diet to boost conception and a safe term… the thought of it was new and exciting.

"Are more people coming over to eat?" Yanis couldn't help but ask when he makes his way to the kitchen and sees a buffet spread out.

"Huh?" Hayden glances at him, pausing his motion of pouring maple syrup over a stack of pancakes. "No, why?" He asks with a frown.

Yanis gives him a bewildered look, dressed casually in sweatpants and a shirt, clothes he had gotten from the airport store, he would need to go shopping soon, he planned to blend in.

"Why? I don't know, maybe because you've cooked enough food for a small crowd?" He exclaims, sweeping his arms to encompass the dining table.

Hayden shrugs, just realizing that maybe in his excitement he might have prepared a lot of food.

"It's fine, you would be surprised at how easily the other occupants of this floor forget to eat or don't want to go down to eat, they would be happy to eat my pancakes." He beams at Yanis.

"Fine, if you say so." The dark haired man acquiesces, settling down to eat.

Hayden packs up some of the food for the others before settling down to eat as well.

"Ready to go down to my bookstore?" 

"Sure." Yanis says with subtle amusement, he had been so relieved to find his friend back in high spirits.

It was the best news to receive, just as wonderful as having Hayden cook for him.

He was still curious about what had made Hayden upset but he wouldn't push, if Hayden wanted to tell him then he would do so.

"You'll come with me to Paper District afterwards, yes?" He invites with a twinkle in his hazel-green eyes, that alternated between a melted gold and bright olive.

Hayden makes a face. "Fine." He agrees, he could also discreetly build up on baby items, although that wouldn't be even necessary all his mom and Grammy needed to hear was that he was pregnant and all hell would break loose.

He wouldn't even mind the busyness of Paper District for that very fact.
