Seth Rollins arrived at the arena early for Monday Night Raw. He rolled his suitcase behind him and waved at the fans at the barricade who screamed for him. With a smile he walked up to them ready to sign some autographs when he felt something sharp stab him in the arm.
Roman Reigns was in the alpha locker room talking to some of his fellow WWE superstars and waiting for his best friend Seth to arrive. They had been fast friends since they had first met in FCW and had even been called up to the main roster together as The Shield with their other friend Dean Ambrose who was currently out with an injury. They were both doing well in their singles careers with both expected to walk out of Wrestlemania with titles. It was an exciting time.
The door suddenly slammed open and their boss Hunter ran in. "Roman, I need you to come with me now!"
Brow wrinkling in concern, he ran after his boss to a small conference room near the entrance of the building. What he saw when he entered the room had his concern turn to worry. Seth was there, sweating profusely, hair wild and eyes even wilder swinging a chair like a weapon at the people that tried to calm him down.
"Seth, Roman's here now, you can calm down." Hunter said soothingly.
Roman walked further into the room, closer to Seth and pulled the chair away from him. "Seth, what's wrong? Are you okay?"
Seth turned to look at him and that's when the smell hit him and nearly knocked him off his feet. It was the overwhelming scent of an omega in heat. Before he could even react, Seth ran at him and threw his arms around him and pulled his head down for a kiss.
Hunter's voice reached him but it sounded far away. "We need to get him to a hospital now but he refused to come with us. We need your help."
With great effort, he pulled his lips away from Seth and half-dragged, half-carried him out to Hunter's car and into the backseat. He tried hard to ignore Seth's constant advances but his hands were everywhere and his lips tried to find his often.
Hunter broke every speed limit driving them to the hospital but by the time they got there Seth was rubbing himself against Roman hard trying to get himself off and Roman was in hell.
Hunter had called ahead so by the time they pulled up to the emergency room door, doctors were waiting with a stretcher. Roman pulled Seth out of the car and lifted him onto the stretcher where Seth started to freak out again once he realized that Roman wasn't getting on with him and they had to strap him down to get him to co-operate.
As the doctors wheeled a yelling and cursing Seth away, Roman turned to his boss. "What the hell just happened?"
Hunter ran his hand over his head. "As far as we can tell a fan attacked him and he hasn't been the same since. We brought him to the conference room to relax and he just went wild, attacking anyone that came near him and screaming at us to go find you."
They sat down in the waiting room as Hunter filled out some paperwork to admit Seth.
Seth groaned and opened his eyes. He felt exhausted and every bit of his body ached, even his eyelids. He felt like he had been hit by a truck.
"Hey." A voice whispered and he turned his head and saw Roman sitting by his bed. He looked over to the chair next to Roman's and saw Hunter sleeping.
"Hey." He croaked out of his sore throat and Roman leaned over and poured him a glass of water. He took it and drank gratefully, it felt like he had been gargling glass.
"How do you feel?" Roman asked as he refilled the glass for him.
"Like hell." He said taking the glass. "What happened?"
"You were attacked by one of the fans at the barricade but he got away." Roman said, holding his hand. "The doctors haven't told us anything yet. Do you remember what happened at the arena?"
Hunter woke up while they were talking.
"I remember something like a needle and the fans screaming and going into the conference room but everything else is a blur." He fiddled with the bed controls and managed to raise it so he could sit up.
"That's to be expected." A man in a doctor's coat said as he walked into the room with a clip board in his hands
"Hey Doc," He said trying to smile. "What did he give me, I feel like I've been hit by a truck."
"Well you kind of have been, medically speaking." The doctor said walking up to the bed. "Your attacker gave you a massive dose of something called Omegasin, think of it as the ultimate date rape drug."
"So that was his plan?" Seth sneered. "Get me high and take advantage of me?"
"Not quite." The doctor said, fidgeting. "Omegasin is a toxin that is extremely expensive and hard to find but it's effects are, I'm afraid, quite permanent."
"Okay." Hunter said in his boss voice. "Can you explain it to us?"
The doctor nodded. "The first phase of Omegasin is to induce an artificial sexual heat like omegas go through that makes them desire an alpha."
"So that's why he was acting like he was." Roman said and Seth looked at him questioningly.
"The heat only lasts for a few hours but the toxin also well..." The doctor paused. "It changes your body chemistry into that of an omegas. Technically Seth, you are now an omega."
"What!" He shouted in disbelief. "That's impossible."
"I'm afraid not." The doctor said sadly. "The pheromones you produce are now omega, your energy levels will drop and possibly also your strength, you may become more emotional and you will crave intimacy with an alpha."
"But I'm not gay, I don't want an alpha." Seth said in outrage.
Hunter snickered. "That's not how you were acting in the car."
Roman shut him up with an elbow.
The doctor smiled sadly. "You will have heat cycles now, your anus will self-lubricate and stretch like an omega but since you don't have their reproductive organs, you won't be able to get pregnant like one. I'm sorry."
He tuned out everything the doctor said after that. His life had turned into a nightmare, one that he didn't think he could handle. He vaguely noticed the doctor leaving and Roman making Hunter leave but he was too lost in his thoughts to care. Roman sat on the chair next to him for a long time.
"Is this real?" Seth asked as tears he didn't know he was crying slid down his face.
Roman leaned over and smelled him. "You do smell like an omega now."
"Really?" He sniffed.
"Yeah." Roman handed him a tissue. "You smell like you but much sweeter now."
"How can I live like this?" He asked in despair. "I don't want to live like this."
"I know, but I'll be there to help you however you need me to." Roman said holding his hand. "Friends 'till the end, right?"
He tried to ignore the warm feeling Roman gave him. "Right. Thank you."
