Chapter 5: Finale

"No, no, no,no, nononono I don't want it! I don't wanna be asleep! I wanna nest! I wanna have my heat! I'm not gonna do it! I don't fuckin wanna sleep!" Frank screamed as Loki pulled his arms across his stomach in a basket hold.

Frank was… not crazed, not manic, but scared . His mind was fuzzy and muddy filled with red hot anger and chilling fear. He couldn't think. He could barely breathe. He was just scared . One moment he was eating dinner waiting on getting a nice warm bath with Loki, mama, and the next he was… reverting back to fight or flight. And there was nowhere to go.

He was an omega in the road to heat, his first heat in so long that would be treated with love and care. He was in his most vulnerable state which only ramped up his hair trigger response.

All it took for him to last out was Loki moving to pet his hair.

Frank had screamed and swung his fist around to hit the doctor in the stomach but Loki had acted so fast it was almost scary. They pulled Frank down to be on one knee by his wrist. Frank struggled and fought, kicking and screamed but Loki pulled his arms around and knocked his other foot so Frank was kneeling.

The doctor rocked him back and forth but Frank continued screaming and fighting. Loki simply sat down in front of the man and really hoped Frank wouldn't bite them. They held his hands so his arms stayed crossed around his stomach.

"Fuck you! Get away from me! Let me fucking go-" Frank yelled and reared his head back for a headbutt

Loki hummed and let one of Frank's hands go to quietly shove his face to their neck.

"Oh-" Frank gasped and leaned in to really nuzzle at the doctor's neck, his mind cooling and calming becoming clearer. Loki smiled and let Frank's other hand go so they could rub his back. Frank put his hands on Loki's knees to push himself closer to the scent of warm cookies and coffee.

"I'm not putting you to sleep. I won't make you sleep. It's gonna make you feel better. I'm right here, look I'm right here. We're just gonna sit here for a moment Frank. Just breathe, those silly hormones are making you feel bad huh? Yeah we need to get you good, clean and in your nest. Such a pretty nest." Loki whispered quietly and Frank slumped against them. He moved to wrap his arms around Loki's lithe but very strong frame.

"Mama" Frank whimpered as his mind fell down around him. All the fear and anger that had been keeping him up dissipated. He felt like he was falling down, falling from space.

He was so tired, so warm, protected. There were arms around him, a chest to hold him up, and a heart beating right below his ear. He was too tired to feel shame or guilt about trying to hurt Loki. He was too far down, too far away. Too far into his heat. His muscles released and he could feel himself start slicking through his underwear. He just whimpered and tried to crowd closer to Loki. He just wanted… wanted to be under their skin.

Loki held him closer. This was perfect. The perfect situation. A break, a shattering, the rise before the fall. Sure the rise was violent and explosive but oh the fall. The fall was the best part. They were needed, Frank was falling not down not on himself but to Loki. And they would be right there to coddle him. To coax his love from him. To be the only thing he will ever need.

Loki grinned widely and shushed the man in their arms. They rubbed his back and leaned their head to rest on the top of his.

"Yes baby, momma's right here. I'm not going anywhere. You just let me take care of you, you poor sweet thing. I'm not going to leave you. You're my baby." Loki said with pity filling their voice. Their eyes were wild and they felt like every wire in their body was firing sparks. Frank needed them, Frank had become perfect. Frank was a tiny little glass orb in Loki's palm, crushable but beautiful.

"Mama? Smell good. Mama knot me?" Frank whined out as he swiveled his hips, shoving his nose deeper into Loki's neck. The mental fuzz of his heat practically dissolved his filter, dissolved everything except that one little part of his brain that just wants a mate. All he was, was a little omega, small and needy and ready to take a mate.

Loki was ecstatic with joy and felt such a feeling of fulfillment. They felt Frank try to grind on them but shushed him and moved to kiss at the side of his head.

"Yes, my sweet honey bun, Momma will give you what you need." Loki promised and Frank whined, all low and gravely, and moved to kiss Loki's neck.

He kissed down from their jaw, right to their scent gland.

"Sh, sh, sh, you need a bath. Come let me take care of you. Show everyone that you're my good boy. Be good for me, omega ." Loki whispered in Frank's ear which made him shoved and pant hotly against Loki's shoulder. Loki smiled when Frank nodded his head.

"You gonna get in tha bath too? Gonna hold me?" Frank asked and Loki pushed him back away from their neck, causing some grumpy whines.

Loki took in the image in front of them. What an image too, should be captured permanently on film. Frank was all pink, blushing down his neck, glossy eyed, lips all pouty and kissed up red, hair down and messy on his forehead. A needy thing. His arms flexed as he pushed himself to straighten his back. He sat up higher and pushed his chest out a bit.

"When you're under my care, I can hold you in the bath. For now though-" Loki explained but was cut short by a big whined Frank slumping back down. Loki smiled and moved to stand up and pet Frank's hair.

"For now you just need to let everyone see what a good boy you are. If you can be good then you can have as many cuddly baths as you want when you come home with me." Loki said and scratched at Frank's slightly greasy hair. Frank shoved his head toward the doctor's hand. Frank leaned forward and rubbed his face on Loki's slacks.

"Come now, Frank. Let's take a nice long bath and get your nest ready. Maybe Miss Jones will let us have some of the candies she has. Hm? Will you be happy if I bring you a treat for being good in the bath? Something sweet?" Loki asked and leaned down to help pull Frank to his feet. Frank stood up and hugged onto Loki, face all sweet and grinning.

"Mama, can ' have candy bar? Like em…" Frank tried to put together but Loki smelled so good and they were right there . Loki knew too, they knew how hard it was for the man to speak when he was so far away and heating. Loki just smiled and nodded, pushing Frank to stand, wobbly, on his own. It was nice to see Frank letting those basic omegan needs be known. He wanted the basic stuff; Mate, safety, warmth, to be held, food. Most omegas wanted chocolate when they were in heat anyway.

"Yes, you can have a candy bar. You have to stay still for a minute okay? We have to put those anklets and bracelets on and you have to wear that collar. Can you stand right here so I can put them on you?" Loki asked in a quiet, calm way that seemed to root Frank deeper into that calm, perfect mindset. Frank nodded and moved his whole body to watch Loki move to open the door and pulled the padded shackles and heavy neck cover from the table outside.

Loki had hated seeing Frank have to wear the plain solid metal shackles and heavy weighted collar so they had opted to go and find a nice pair of softly padded dark blue shackles and a soft black collar that had soft texture on the inside. They didn't like the way all of the metal shackles had heavy clinking locks to hold them together, instead the new ones had quiet reinforced buckles.

"These won't drag on you like those old ones did. Can we take your socks off? It'll make it easier, your feet won't be cold very long." Loki asked and knelt down on one knee in front of Frank who sort of curled in on himself to be closer to the other person. Frank nodded and sat down on the edge of his cot so they could slip his socks off.

After several quiet clips and only one break for Frank to nuzzle and lick at Loki's neck, the pair was ready. Loki was watching as Frank walked toward the door, shaky legged and pink. He was in heat and he was floating. Loki was sure once in the tub they could at least get to touch his lovely body and settle him. He looked amazing in his collar too, the way it brought out the paleness of his skin and the way it was skin tight on his muscular neck and traps.

Loki opened the door and Frank immediately grabbed a handful of Loki's blouse up in his hand. The floor was cold and the lights were bright but there weren't any people. Frank took very small steps and Loki just confidently walked along the hall.

That was until they got to the nurse's station. There were two nurses, a security guard, and Miss Jones typing on the computer in the small office. Frank ducked away and thunked his forehead on Loki's back, between his shoulder blades.

"Well you got him out. We better tell front security. He's gonna kill you once you unlock those, beat you up at least." One of the nurses bitchily said to Loki, who just smiled and turned to pet Frank's head.

"They aren't locked." They said and turned to continue their walk. The nurses' mouths hung open and they angrily whispered to the security guard who just shrugged and pointed his thumb back at the dietitian, someone who had more say over Frank's care then they did.

Loki was smug as they walked to the baths, Frank glued to their back. Frank was panting, his slick was flowing its way down his thighs now. Loki used his badge to open the door and Frank seemed to stumble a bit at the wave of warm, fragrant, damp air.

Loki had used every soothing scent. Vanilla mostly as Frank rather liked the scent and honeysuckle because the honeysuckle bath salts had the least burn when a heating omega first got in. They'd added relaxers and oils and of course turned the heat up a bit farther than they'd regularly had it set.

They ushered Frank to beside the bath.

"Here, let me…" The doctor said and quickly unclipped the shackles and collar. Frank was wobbling on his feet like he was dizzy so Loki stood in front of him, guiding him to lean on their chest.

"Smell 'really good" Frank said, like a drunken man. Loki let out a light breathy chuckle as they pulled Frank's shirt up over his head.

"I put all sorts of good things in. Come now, Frank, I'd like you to be clean." Loki said in a softly commanding way as they pushed Frank's pants down over his ass and thighs. The soft fabric fell to the tiled floor and Frank hummed and shoved his own underwear down off of him. Slick freely flowed down his thighs, down to his calves. He was panting and his hand was already moving to stroke his cock. His other hand went to grab at Loki's waistband.

"Sh, sh, sh, into the bath with you. One foot, then the other." Loki prompted and held both Frank's wrists in their hands.

Frank stepped into the milky hot water of his bath, a groan flooding from his throat followed by a hiss when his bottom sank into the water. Loki watched him, all big blown brown eyes and muscles flexing and relaxing. He reached back down to himself to stroke at his cock and reached even farther to touch his slickened hole. Frank groaned and leaned his head onto Loki.

"So beautiful. Like art…" Loki whispered and sat down beside the tub on a small stool. Frank groaned deeply and his arms worked faster to soothe the ache he was feeling. Loki hummed and reached to pull one hand away.

"No no no, hafta- hafta touch it. You touch it. Touch me." Frank panted out and looked at Loki as he pulled their hand toward his crotch.

Loki smiled and leaned forward and Frank nuzzled into their neck and panted. Loki reached into the water and found where Frank was still stroking at his cock, they stopped to run the tips of their fingers from just under the crest, down following the burning hot vein, and to cup his sack.

Frank was groaning, panting in short ' ah ah ah' s. His body was on fire and it felt amazing . For the first time in what felt like a million years he was heating with someone who cared, someone who loved him.

"When I get you home I'll give you so many kisses, I'll make sure your body is thoroughly worshiped." Loki whispered as they reached down to trace circles around Frank's relaxed hole. Frank groaned and let out a long gravelly whine.

"Knot me, please mama, I need it. I need it." Frank begged and his arms rose up out of the water to wrap around the doctor's shoulders, soaking their shirt. Loki just shushed him and pushed two long fingers into his body.

Frank squealed . His legs kicked up and his chest pitched forward, his cock shock line after line of thick hot cum into the bath water.

A flood of " Yes yes yes! Please, please, please, please, please. Mama fuck me, please fuck me, I'm ready, I'm ready." spewed from Frank's mouth where he was burying his face in Loki's neck. Loki could feel the way Frank's body sucked their fingers in deeper, craving to have something more inside of his body. They shushed him and could feel their own arousal growing deep within themself. The power they held over this… beast. This monster, a murderer, an animal only capable of pain and anger.

"That's it honey bun, as soon as we get you home I'll make sure you get as many knots as you want. You can present to me and not have to worry." Loki mumbled and curled his fingers inside of Frank, effectively triggering the muscles to hug tight to keep a knot inside. Frank was panting and moaning and his cock was softening in the water.

"I love you. Loki, I love you." Frank whispered as his eyes fluttered shut and his breathing evened out. Loki just stared down at him.

"Yes, Francis, yes you do. You always will. You need me." Loki whispered and pushed Frank's hair back. What they didn't say was ' I need you too' .

What a precious thing. A warm, cozy, relaxed, heating omega. So fragile, so breakage. Even in the hands of a mate they can shatter like dust thin glass.

Frank was so beautiful when he was sleeping. When he was sleeping not knocked out. He was soft, all smooth pale skin and pretty pink scars, relaxed squishy muscularity, and he was warm. Warm like a furnace, like he was fresh baked bread himself, all warm dough. His mouth was open just a small bit, his lips red and shiny and letting out big strong breaths. His chest rose and fell with perfect rhythm, nipple pink and hard, arms laid gently over his stomach.

Frank… perfect clay to mold. Form into a sculpture of all Loki's design.

Breaking down only a cracked, burned, broken old mind to fit the beautiful body that emcompasses it.
