These two are actually super fun in this world! I'm having a blast, I love winter AU.

Just like before, once this hits 1k on Twitter, I'll schedule part 3. If you wanna see how Katsuki deal with Rody, like/share!

AND at 8pm over on Patreon, the new except for Libahunt will be dropped!

Collecting himself, he watches green eyes struggle to open. The scent pooling off Izuku shouts how much he enjoys their kiss.

'Again' is his alpha's demand.

Growling under his breath, he moves to follow suit-

"Is that how you stole my mate?"

Like magic, a new problem appears.

It's meant to be a short kiss. Just to get Freckles used to it. But it's more overwhelming than he expects between two friends, and he has to break it off to take a deep breath. His depleted lungs scream at him for pushing his limits.

He's a top warrior, yet the kiss winds him.

"Relax," is the last thing he says before pressing forward with his plan.

Kissing hasn't appealed to him before. Swapping spit with anyone sounds awful.

But that's before Izuku's an option. Hearing his soft noises, getting a taste of mint, holding him closer to deepen it...

1 11

Sapphire Twilight @sapphiretwilight.bsky.social · 17h

So he takes a quiet breath and goes for it.

He skims their mouths together at first, testing the waters. Freckles shivers, hands squeezing his, but doesn't back away.

Katsuki's tongue runs over his lower lip, earning the blacksmith's soft intake of breath when brushing his.

Even with the quick reply, he can see Izuku's nervous. And maybe he's hanging out with the nerd too much, because his stomach feels funny.

But Katsuki swears he'll protect his favorite omega. Whether it's with his fists, his privilege, or his fake claim, he'll keep his promise.

1 11

Sapphire Twilight @sapphiretwilight.bsky.social · 17h

Quickly, he punches the urge back into the furthest part of his mind, fingers barely twitching on the other's face.

After wrangling the dangerous temptation, Katsuki focuses on the here and now. "Are you gonna faint if I kiss you?"

"Of course not," is the whispered response.

1 11

Sapphire Twilight @sapphiretwilight.bsky.social · 17h

Any sly comeback evaporates at the question. Hearing Izuku frame it like THAT... it does something to his brain.

Cause Katsuki's not really his alpha. He shouldn't feel a surge of possessiveness, a desire to pull the blacksmith closer and sink his fangs into the other's neck.

1 11

Sapphire Twilight @sapphiretwilight.bsky.social · 17h

This time, Katsuki laughs, naturally swaying closer until their noses brush. "Maybe that's how I court nerds like you."

"Well, it's really bad." The mumble lacks any real protest, the cheeks under his touch heating up. "What omega would like it when their alpha bullies them?"

1 12

Sapphire Twilight @sapphiretwilight.bsky.social · 17h

"Cocky shit." Grinning wide enough to show off his fangs, Katsuki slides his hands off the ram's horns, fingers collecting the round cheeks to pinch them. "You ready to find out?"

"Don't tease me!" Izuku's hands snap up to cover his, squishing Katsuki's palms to the warm face.

1 10

Sapphire Twilight @sapphiretwilight.bsky.social · 17h

Outwardly, he scoffs. "Do you even know how to kiss?"

"Do YOU?" The nerd asks, far too challenging for an omega being courted. They're supposed to be polite, quiet, and humble.

Thank fuck Freckles isn't like that; the hint of sass in Izuku's voice makes Katsuki's alpha vibrate.

1 11

Sapphire Twilight @sapphiretwilight.bsky.social · 17h

He wants to ask what THAT means, or why the mint scent sweetens afterward.

But before he can, Izuku's sucking in a deep breath, dropping his hand to his side. "But if I get some practice, I can get used to your courting."

Well, at least they were on the same page about that.

1 12

Sapphire Twilight @sapphiretwilight.bsky.social · 17h

"I just stopped your damn WEDDING," Katsuki says flatly. "I've never even went on a date with an extra."

"But that-" Frowning, Freckles glances to the side. Suddenly shy, the omega moves a bent finger to his mouth, mumbling against it. "When it comes to Kacchan, it's different."

1 11

Sapphire Twilight @sapphiretwilight.bsky.social · 17h

The blacksmith's mouth parts two times, eyes darting all over Katsuki's face. And maybe his soul purrs with pride when noticing how often the green gaze skims along his mouth before quickly shifting away.

Then, Izuku nods. "I can try, but... I've never really done this before."

1 11

Sapphire Twilight @sapphiretwilight.bsky.social · 17h

Katsuki's lips tingle, ears perking without his permission. Ignoring the slight swish of his tail (because he is NOT excited), he shrugs.

"I don't ever do anything half-assed. If you want to sell this, I'm gonna court the fuck out of you. Think you can handle that, Little Ram?"

1 11

Sapphire Twilight @sapphiretwilight.bsky.social · 17h

The shock in Izuku's face almost makes Katsuki laugh. He holds it in, thumbs stroking the horns to keep him calm. He doesn't need the flustered ram head-butting him (again).

"You'd fake a full courting?" Izuku finally asks, blushing. "With gifts, scenting, and- you'd k-kiss me?"

1 12

Sapphire Twilight @sapphiretwilight.bsky.social · 17h

"Oi." Using the grip on the horns to pull the omega closer, Katsuki makes sure to maintain eye contact to show he means his next words. Not wanting to overwhelm the nerd, he softens his cadence. "I already knew what I was getting into. I ain't backing out of the plan. Are you?"

1 12

Sapphire Twilight @sapphiretwilight.bsky.social · 17h

"You're... probably right." Freckles has the audacity to look grief-stricken, though the pinch in Katsuki's chest eases at his next words. "Kacchan, I don't want to make you uncomfortable. If I thought people would be so invested in our-I'm so sorry. You... you don't have to-"

1 11

Sapphire Twilight @sapphiretwilight.bsky.social · 17h

But the hesitancy makes Katsuki force a breath through his nose, teeth clenched.

How is his ram so fucking smart, and yet insanely stupid at the same time?

"We'll have to play the part sometimes." Katsuki ignores his increasing heartbeat. "Otherwise, they'll get skeptical."

1 12

Sapphire Twilight @sapphiretwilight.bsky.social · 17h

"Cause I'm supposed to be courting you." He grabs the horns, ignoring Izuku's bleat to make the frantic headshake stop. Once the omega looks at him with a pout, he rolls his eyes. "Did you think we could just announce we're courting and NOT do courting shit after?"

"Um... no."

1 12

Sapphire Twilight @sapphiretwilight.bsky.social · 17h

Once they are in the safety of Izuku's workshop, Katsuki spins around to face the slightly dazed ram. "You can't space out like that."

After a set of blinks, Freckles shakes his head, knocking off his hat while stomping one foot. "That wasn't my fault! Ka-Kacchan kissed me."

1 11

Sapphire Twilight @sapphiretwilight.bsky.social · 17h

"Don't do anything too naughty before you're officially bonded!" Pinky shouts, and Katsuki rolls his eyes. If his ears feel warmer at their catcalls and giggles, he pretends not to notice.

Instead, he focuses on dragging Izuku to the forge to talk about their newest problem.

1 11

Sapphire Twilight @sapphiretwilight.bsky.social · 17h

If he thought pink was a cute color on the ram's face, then red's gotta be considered adorable.

Knowing Freckles will be useless for the moment, he snags the rough hand of the blacksmith and tugs him back toward the route he came.

"We're leaving. Nobody bug us until tomorrow."

1 13

Sapphire Twilight @sapphiretwilight.bsky.social · 17h

Instead, he pushes the wool lining of Izuku's hat up enough for him to press his lips to the warm forehead. It's a soft pressure, and he makes sure his fangs stay hidden to keep the touch gentle.

A gasp catches his ear, but he takes his time pulling away before looking down.
