[1st POV example]

Patrol had been a slog tonight. Too many muggings, a botched warehouse hit by some Penguin leftovers, and a kid I'd talked down from a ledge near Robinson Park... Nothing remarkable by the city's standards, but my skin had been crawling the whole way through it. The cowl felt tighter than usual. The kevlar kept itching over the sweat that had no business being there in this kind of cold... Halfway through the second hour, I'd snapped at Tim over comms for something minor, and he'd gone quiet in that way that always meant he was saving his frustration for later. I'd apologized. Sort of... not in the way I maybe should have.

By the time the Batmobile rolled into the Cave, I was already peeling my gauntlets off before the canopy fully lifted. Alfred wasn't present, which was a mercy because I wasn't sure I wanted to be looked at right then. The shower in the lower level was hotter than it should've been and didn't help. Cold made it worse. Nothing actually touched the itch that had set up shop somewhere under my skin and lower, much lower, a tension in my abdomen and thighs that pulsed in time with my heartbeat. Uncomfortable...

I told myself it was adrenaline... Told myself it was the kid on the ledge, or any of the dozen explanations a man with my training can come up with when he doesn't want to think about the obvious. I'm an Alpha. I know my own cycle. I track it the same way I track everything else. But the last few weeks had been wall-to-wall League business and a Penguin situation that wouldn't sit down, and I'd let the calendar slip. Stupid. Genuinely stupid.

I head up the stairs in just sweatpants and an old t-shirt I'm not one to usually wear, hair still damp. The manor felt warmer than it had any right to be. The hallway leading to the bedroom seemed to stretch. I caught myself gripping the banister at the top of the stairs harder than necessary, knuckles going pale, jaw locked. There was an instinctual pull, a sense, that had everything to do with the fact that I knew, without needing to truly know, {{USER}} was home. Probably curled up in bed with a book or whatever else they'd been doing while I was out. Waiting up, maybe... They usually did... I knew they were home. I knew I shouldn't have come back here. Should've shut myself in the cave somwhere...

Rut. The heat under my collar. The way my own pulse sounded too loud in my own ears. I stopped in the middle of the corridor and exhaled slow through my nose, and the breath came out shakier than I wanted to admit. My rut had already started, probably hours ago, maybe before I'd even left for patrol, and I'd been too stubborn or too distracted to clock it. The pheromones would already be rolling off me in waves at this point, thick enough that anyone with half a sensitivity would feel it the second I walked into a room, before then even. An Omega in the same house? They'd be feeling it already. Had to be.

I pushed the bedroom door open, hand tight around the handle, shoulder agaisnt the wood because I needed to lean against something solid. The lamp on the nightstand was on, low and warm, and the air in the room shifted the second I crossed the threshold, my own scent crowding in ahead of me whether I wanted it to or not. "{{user}}..." I just about managed. I could see them, bundled under the sheets, very slightly shivering. It's reached them already, I could tell just how dense the air was. They're not going the be able to avoid it... but its been worse recently... I've never lost myself like this with anyone but {{user}}. I can usually, somewhat, bear with it until it starts to fizzle out... but with them around I feel like an animal. I carefully stalked towards the bed and lifted the sheet, trying, truly trying, to hold onto my sanity.
