the discord was talking about concussed!omega!jonny and it gave me a lot of feels

the bond had felt off all day. seabs had gotten up early for morning skate, followed by film review and a meeting with his agent, so he hadn't seen jonny since the morning. when he left, jonny had been curled into a ball on the far side of the bed, so much further away than he usually was. it was unnerving, waking up alone when he usually woke up half-smothered by jonny, surrounded by the scent of him and the warm, open feeling of the bond between them. jonny's scent was muted now, though, and seabs could barely sense it from a few feet away. jonny's forehead was tight, his shoulders tense, even in sleep, and he wasn't getting anything through the bond other than wisps that were frustrating and fleeting, like a half-remembered dream that slid through his fingers when he tried to focus on it.

the CBA allowed, and even encouraged, mates to take time off to be with their partners when they were injured. no one wanted a player getting wrecked on the ice because his head wasn't in the game, so even if it wasn't altruism behind the rules, it was pretty well accepted. even geno malkin had missed time to be with sid when he was out.

seabs had tried it a few times, but jonny shut him down. his eyes shuttered, nothing but anger and distress seeping through the bond. when seabs pushed it, jonny got frantic.

"i'm already missing so much," jonny said, voice high and panicky. "i can't make you miss time, too, seabs. i won't do that to the team!"

no matter how hard seabs tried to convince him, he was met with resistance, and he eventually gave up. all he could do was kiss jonny's sweaty hair and leave him a glass of water on the nightstand, hope jonny would be feeling better when he got home in the afternoon.

the bond nudged uncomfortably at the back of his mind all day. seabs could barely listen to his agent, who wanted to go over some of the numbers from his new contract. he was starting to feel sick, a vague nausea settling in the pit of his stomach, and if he could feel that through the bond and miles away, it must have been brutal for jonny. he made his excuses to his agent and flagged down a cab, sending positive thoughts through the bond at jonny.

he opened the door to the condo, nervous about what he would find. nothing was out of place as he rushed through the living room, but the serene quiet was unsettling. jonny was always messy, and the fact that the room looked exactly like it did when seabs went to bed last night meant jonny hadn't ventured out of the bedroom all day.

he eased the bedroom door open, not wanting to disturb jonny if he were resting, but even in the dim light filtering in through the curtains, he could see that jonny was awake. he was sitting up in bed, propped against some pillows, taking slow and measured breaths. the closer seabs got, the worse jonny looked, sweat broken out on his brow, face pale under an unhealthy flush on cheeks.

"what's going on?" seabs asked, not raising his voice above a whisper. all of his instincts were telling him to go jonny, to wrap him up in his arms, kiss all the pain and distress out of his scent, but jonny was prickly about overt alpha behavior like that on a good day, and his concussion had ramped it up even higher. he hated to be seen as weak and vulnerable, so seabs waited as patiently as he could for jonny to let him know what he needed, what he'd accept from seabs.

"wanted to shower," jonny said quietly, not looking up. "got dizzy as soon 's i sat up, though," and even if seabs couldn't see and scent his misery, he could hear it in the slur in his words betraying just how awful jonny felt.

"i'm glad you didn't hurt yourself," seabs said gently. "i'm proud of you for listening to your body, even though i know you hate feeling like this." he could catch a small spike in jonny's scent reacting to the praise, and it was enough to encourage him to go a little further. "can i help you?" he asked, and jonny paused, then nodded slowly. "thank you, baby," seabs breathed out. he moved to the bed, ventured a kiss to jonny's brow. "stay put for just a minute, ok?"

"not like i can go anywhere," jonny replied, but he didn't sound mad, just resigned.

seabs went into the ensuite. he eyed the shower, but couldn't help focusing on the tile floor, the hard angles of the shower handle, the precarious glass of the door. all jonny had to do was step wrong and slip, and he'd be even more injured. instead, seabs walked over to the huge soaking tub. they almost never used it; jonny didn't like to be coddled, and they didn't usually have time for baths, anyway. this afternoon felt like a good time for it, though.

he started the water running, waited for it to reach the right temperature and then let the tub fill. he grabbed their body wash, shampoo and conditioner, put them within easy reach, and then got two huge, fluffy towels out of the closet. he didn't have any bath salts or scrubs, but with jonny's head the way it was, he didn't want to overload him with other scents, anyway. satisfied, he turned off the water and went to collect jonny.

jonny was right where he'd left him, body stiff as he sat up in bed. seabs got into his space, shouldering right up next to him. "put your arm around me," he said, and jonny looked at him.

"you better not be tryna carry me, seabrook," jonny said, scent like raised hackles on an angry cat. seabs bit back a smile.

"wouldn't dream of it, sweetheart," he said. "just want to help you a little, ok?"

jonny sighed but acquiesced, sliding one arm over seabs' shoulder. seabs got his other arm around jonny's waist, helped him slide out of bed. jonny wobbled, unsteady on his feet and leaning his weight into seabs. seabs just held him tighter at the waist. "got you, baby," he murmured, and he felt jonny slump into his side. when he wasn't concussed, jonny hated to show any signs of weakness, but now, with his defenses down, it looked like his hindbrain was willing to let his alpha take care of him.

they made their way slowly into the bathroom, jonny leaning most of his weight on seabs. he'd dropped muscle lately, unable to get to the gym, still throwing up most days, and seabs' alpha burned to see his omega looking underfed. he could feel the growl in his chest before he could do anything to stop it, but rather than get pissed, jonny broke into a soft smile, nuzzling even closer to seabs like he wanted to feel the growl and not just hear it.

seabs had expected jonny to protest the bath, to fight for his ability to stand up and shower himself, but apparently he was full of surprises this afternoon.

"yea," jonny said, looking at the bath and dropping a hand in to test the temperature. "this is probably a good idea, eh?"

seabs got jonny sitting on the edge of the bath, leaning up against the wall so he wasn't at risk of falling. he got them both out of their clothes with a minimum of fuss, neither of them hard or smelling particularly interested.

seabs eased himself into the water first, then took jonny's hand to help guide him in. he settled jonny in front of him, his own legs bracketing jonny's, boxing him in. jonny didn't bristle, didn't tense up, just leaned back, letting out a deep sigh that felt like it might be the first real breath he'd taken in days. seabs could see his eyes flutter shut, and he felt himself relax, too.

he didn't want to break the spell yet, so he laid back further, tucking jonny to his chest so jonny could hear his heart. jonny's scent was rising into something soft and content, so different from what seabs was used to lately that he couldn't help but curl down to jonny's neck, scenting him further. jonny giggled at the feeling of seabs scenting him, a noise seabs had almost never heard from him. seabs did it again, and jonny turned his neck, presenting his scent gland to seabs for easier access.

the scent soothed something in seabs, settled his alpha instincts that had been on edge. jonny was here with him, safe in his arms, scent with nothing but pleasure in it, and it was because of seabs. he'd done this, made his omega happy when he'd been hurting, and he could tell his own scent was rising in return.

"mmm," jonny groaned, shifting back against him more. seabs could tell he still wasn't hard, but seabs' own cock was twitching; it had been so long since he'd felt like was taking care of jonny, and it felt good to finally be doing his job.

he didn't want jonny to think he'd just done this to get laid, though, so he shifted back as subtly as he could.

"gonna wash your hair, babe," he said, voice going a shade deep, and he watched jonny shiver in response, felt him slump back further.

seabs poured a few handfuls of water through jonny's hair, longer than usual these days, to get it ready. the longer hair made him look young, vulnerable, and seabs vowed again to keep taking care of him.

once jonny's hair was wet, he started massaging the shampoo through it. he was gentle, mindful of jonny's concussion and his frequent migraines, but jonny didn't seem to mind. he was boneless against seabs, eyes fluttering as seabs massaged his scalp. he couldn't help but let his hands drop lower, massaging jonny's neck, as well, and he was rewarding by another low moan. his cock jerked again, reminding him how long it had been since he got off, but he tried to ignore it, refocusing on jonny.

he rinsed the shampoo out, then went through the same process with the conditioner. jonny was half asleep by the time he was done, and when seabs looked down, he could see jonny was half-hard, as well. he wasn't sure jonny was even aware of it; his scent was still radiating contentment and safety, but nothing of arousal. some sort of unconscious response, then, seabs figured.

"just have to rinse you off now, baby," seabs whispered in jonny's ear, taking another opportunity to scent him.

"yes, alpha," jonny said dreamily, and fuck, seabs shouldn't be finding this so hot. it wasn't that he was turned on or happy that jonny was injured, he knew that. it was just that jonny was usually so adamant against showing any traditional omega behavior, seeing it as weakness. now, all his walls knocked down by the concussion, he wasn't fighting it.

seabs was determined not to take advantage, though. he finished rinsing jonny, and then got them out of the bath, draining the water. jonny stayed leaning up against his chest, rubbing against seabs, scent marking him in a way he usually didn't. seabs loved it, loved jonny claiming him as his own, and the deep rumble started in his chest again. jonny's nuzzles turned into kisses against his chest, and seabs froze.

"thank you, seabs," jonny whispered. "for taking care of me."

"of course, jonny," seabs said, getting one hand on jonny's neck to keep him close, one hand under his chin, tilting it up to drop a kiss on his lips. jonny colored up beautifully, a pink tinge across his cheeks that looked so much healthier than the scene seabs had walked in on just an hour before. "let's get you dry and back to bed, yeah?"

jonny nodded, letting seabs pat him down with the soft spa towels they both loved. jonny stayed half hard, getting harder when seabs was drying off his abs and cock, but didn't make a move to take things any further.

"dizzy," jonny said when seabs was done. "think you should carry me back to bed." he looked pleasantly exhausted, seabs thought, eyes half-lidded, head almost lolling on his neck, and seabs smiled.

"anything you want, baby," he said, lifting jonny slowly into his arms. jonny fit there perfectly, and seabs wanted to carry him everywhere. he'd start with the bedroom, though, angling them safely through the doorway and settling jonny back in against his pillows. seabs got into bed behind him, pulling jonny close to his chest, letting his hand roam over jonny's chest. jonny shifted against him, scent as sweet as seabs had ever experienced from him.

"alpha," jonny murmured once more, and then, within a minute, was asleep, body going lax and heavy in seabs' arms. seabs took a few minutes to enjoy the feeling of his omega in his arms before falling asleep himself, pulling jonny even closer as he did.
