Beta!Gaz is so much fun to me. Whenever heat or rut cycles through the pack, Gaz is typically the one covering logistics. Cycles are normal, though carefully scheduled for. And even though John or Simon were technically on leave, that didn’t mean work wasn’t dropped on their desks or clogging up their emails. So Kyle kept their work organized so that when they came back it would be easier to grind through it. Ensures that dirty laundry doesn’t pile up. He wants this to be as smooth as possible, soothing the problem-solver in him.
He knows what foods his mates prefer when their cycles hit. Knows that Johnny wants the spark of sour candy as a s treat between knottings. That Simon will eat just about anything as long as it’s hand-fed to him. That John likes those stupid applesauce pouches.
And while he does feel the pull to join at times, it’s just as normal as hearing them through the walls and shut doors. The sounds can become an odd background noise as he moves through his day. Peeking his head in on occasion to ensure that whoever on the other side of the door caught his calming scent, helping ease the intense lust when Kyle projected it a specific way.
He doesn’t even get to ask if anyone’s broken before he’s being bullied into the nest and welcomed into the space with his mates. Being scented and praised with growling purrs and low chuffs. It’s one of his favorite parts of it all.
