#Silco's weird-weird pep talks

[goddessofroyalty]

what was Vander and Silco’s reaction to Viktor’s first heat? Or the first time an alpha made his interest known in Viktor?

The first heat wasn't too bad for them. I mean the way I have first heats in basically all of my verses they're a lot closer to what periods are like in our world than true heats (just it's a clear bodily fluid they're starting to leak instead of red) - it's more cramps and discomfort than anything. Yes the hormones are starting to pump heading towards sexual maturity but it's still kind of the "my body feels weird and kind of sensitive?" kind of level and not full-blown arousal. So let Viktor nest up in his room to ride it out (which is what he wants to do any way), bring him painkillers and heat packs (and food) as necessary but make it clear you respect his privacy while also being there if he wants comfort because he's feeling kind of uncomfortable and crap from it.

Hardest part is probably the kind of awkward conversations that has to follow. But even then I don't think they super hide sex from their kids in the kind of "farm kids learn early" way (except "Undercity kids learn early" I guess). Like in the canon Vi knows the owner of the brothel and seems pretty comfortable being in said brothel despite having been in prison since she was a teenager so I don't think sex generally is a completely foreign concept that has to be explained. But it is now moved from "it's something adults do don't think about it too much" to "sooner than later that is something you are probably going to want to do". And, you know, Silco got himself pregnant with Viktor at 16 and that's not something he wants Viktor to repeat (because despite how well it turned out for them that was still a difficult situation in the early days).

Which means the first alpha to show real interest in Viktor almost feels like a threat to them. But not in a "they're going to defile my child" kind of way but more in a... they don't want their son to rush into a relationship or get himself into a situation where there is a pregnancy involved before he is ready for it. However they both do know that the fastest way to get a kid to stop telling you things is by punishing them when they do and the fastest way to get them to do something is to forbade them from doing it. So probably more awkward conversations with their son (which is made especially awkward for Viktor because he's starting to think about moving to Piltover to study so was only interested in the alpha in a 'teenage summer fling' kind of way and no he does not want babies maybe later in the very very very distant future but no they do not need to worry about him and babies, he possibly wasn't even thinking about anything further than hand-holding and some chaste kissing with this alpha, please please let him out of this conversation).
