HINATA
"Kenma," I say walking into his room without knocking. He has his headphones on and certainly wouldn't have heard me anyway. He looks up from his position on his bed noticing my presence in the room. He removes his headphones glancing up at me.
"What?" he questions.
"What do you mean what?" I retort. "Are you ready to head out?" Kenma rolls his eyes before moving his blonde locks off his face.
"Hinata it is just so stupid party," he states.
"A party that Oikawa is throwing," I correct. "He has the best parties. Plus, Kageyama is his boyfriend's Iwaizumi roommate this year. Can you picture Kageyama at a party?"
"Nope," said Kenma. "Just like how I can't picture myself at that party."
"Come on," I beg. "Pleaseeeee," Kenma looks at me and sighs.
"Fine," he replies. "Are you ready?" I nod yes turning to look in Kenma's mirror. I'm wearing some jeans, sneaks, tee and a jacket. It is April but still gets chilly at night. I take in my form and I hate that I'm still short but I'm not as short standing at 5'8 now. Kenma is right behind me at 5'7. "Get out so I can get dressed."
"It's nothing I haven't seen before," I state turning around. I lean forward close to the mirror to fluff my curly red hair. "Besides I know you aren't putting on anything special." Kenma is off his bed and walking to the closet. He is currently in his house and looking very comfortable. For the fact that we're going to be around a lot of friends he may want to put some better clothes. I won't complain if he doesn't. I'm just glad that he is coming. Kenma grabs another pair of sweats with a sweatshirt. He tosses them on quickly without much thought.
"Let's get the fuck out of here before I change my mind," he mutters. I roll my eyes but go to my room to grab my keys and cell. Kenma is at the door but the time I come back out into the main room. He opens the door without a word. Kageyama and Iwaizumi place is right around the corner. This area has the best prices closest to campus without things getting expensive. Our neighbors are mostly college students or recent graduates. "You're not going to get really trashed are you? I don't feel like carrying your drunk ass home."
"I don't get trashed on purpose," I defend. "If it happens it is an accident."
"You know as omegas we can't really be getting flat out drunk," drones Kenma.
"I know," I hiss. I'm still mad at the fact that I was born an omega. I accepted being a short kid. Despite my height I worked out, got cut, was able to join the volleyball team. I had hope that I would be a beta. At least that would have given me the shot of having a normal life, achieving great things but no, I just had to be an omega. I have yet to mate anyone ever and I don't plan to. I suppress my heat with meds every single time. Sadly I will have to mate at some point because taking the meds can destroy my bodies system at some point. I sigh wanting to forget the whole thing. You think at 20 years old I would accept it but I really haven't. We arrive to the front door and I see Bokuto leaving the apartment.
"Hey red," he smiles at me.
"Bokuto!" I exclaim smiling hard. "You're not leaving already are you?"
"Hell no," said Bokuto. "I have to go pick up some cheeseburgers for Akaashi."
"Is there no food at the party?" I questioned. Bokuto chuckles nervously.
"Umm yeah so Akasshi is pregnant," he says rubbing the back of his neck. Kenma looks at if Bokuto didn't just drop a bomb, I'm shocked.
"When?" I asked. "I mean w-what happened?"
"I got carried away during one of his heats," admits Bokuto clearly embarrassed. "I swear you little omegas have no idea how much that shit fucks us up."
"Not as much as you guys don't understand how it feels to be fucked and knotted," noted Kenma. "I guess congratulations are in order."
"Thanks," smiles Bokuto before his phone goes off. "Damnit he is probably wondering where I'm at. I will be back though once I get him fed or whatever."
"You make him sound like a pet," says Kenma folding his arms.
"I totally didn't mean it that way!" exclaims Bokuto.
"It's okay," I say to Bokuto. "I dragged Kenma to this party and he doesn't want to be here so he might be taking his some of his aggression out on you. We will see you when you get back."
"Thanks!" he yells before running off putting his phone to his ear. Bokuto does have an internship he worked in the fall and one currently. I think this will really help him land a job at the school sometime soon. He is going to school to be a PE teacher which I think suits him. He wanted to try out for the Olympic volleyball and could have made it for sure but no way he can leave Akaashi with a new baby all alone.
"I'm surprised Akaashi allowed that to happen," says Kenma. "Well I'm sure Bokuto is more than excellent alpha to him."
"Are they even bonded?" I asked. "He didn't smell heavily of Akaashi."
"Then chances are no," says Kenma. "I'm surprised he managed to knock him up before bonding him." Kenma opens the door different scents of alphas, betas, and omegas fill my nose. It's not overwhelming but enough for me to know who is here. I look around and see most of my friends are here and they seem to be having a good time and that is good enough for me. Kenma immediately goes to the coach sitting down pulling out his phone. I head to the kitchen seeing Noya and Tanaka. Noya looks as handsome as ever with his spiked hair still sporting the blonde in the front. Tanaka experimented with growing his hair out but hated it and went back to shaving it within a month.
"Hinata," smiles Tanaka. "Didn't think you were going to make it."
"You know I was coming," I replied smiling hard. I reach for the patron pouring it in a cup before grabbing some fruit punch to add some flavor.
"I told him you was," said Noya. "You should have seen Bokuto running out of here."
"I ran into him on my way in," I reply.
"Man, can you believe he is going to be a dad?" questioned Tanaka. "Like holy shit…."
"He will be a great father," says Noya. "I mean it sucks because he is all of 21. I mean life is just starting and he is going to be tied down."
"It's not like he is bonded to the guy," says Tanaka leaning against the counter. "I mean why not at this point."
"Bonding is foreverrrrrrr," says Noya. "I mean no one wants to fuck that up."
"But no alpha is going to be willing to take care of another alpha keen," states Tanaka. "It's an alpha thing so you wouldn't understand."
"Don't give me that shit," says Noya. "You know damn well I understand alpha's well. Don't under estimate me." I can feel Noya's agitation rolling off of him in waves as h glares up at Tanaka. Noya and I are the same height while Tanaka is 6'1.
"Sorry, sorry," says Tanaka as Kageyama walks into his kitchen.
"You guys over here gossiping as usual," he state grabbing some yellow drink and vodka.
"We're catching up," says Tanaka offended. "There is a difference." Kageyama rolls his eyes before looking at me. He looks the same as ever. We tend to hang out a lot from time to time. I hate the fact that he got taller and even more toned than he was before. He has omegas falling at his feet every day, must be nice.
"Hinata you got your meds?" he asked.
"What?" I questioned pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Your heat is coming," he says. "God I smell it. I would hate to see it happen and you weren't prepared."
"That was awful the time it happened at school," says Tanaka bringing up a memory I would much rather forget. I went into heat one time in the middle of class and caused a damn frenzy, it was fucking awful. I got chewed out so badly by the teachers for not having my meds on me. Well sorry, I was expecting that to happen. The alpha's in the classroom where literally turning over desks trying to get at me and fighting each other. One alpha sustained a broken hand. I never had to apologize so much. It was embarrassing, mortifying and making me hate being an omega even more.
"Sorry," apologized Kageyama sensing how upset I got from the mention of that. I look away from him feeling like an idiot as I start to drink heavily from my cup.
"What's going on over here," sang Oikawa. "What am I missing?"
"Not a damn thing," says Kageyama. "I'm going back to my room."
"It's a party," says Oikawa. "You can at least mingle."
"That is what I just did," he states before walking away. Oikawa sighs.
"I swear that guy is hopeless," he says. "Hmmm I sense some tension in the air. What the hell did I miss?" Oikawa gets this amused smirk on his face.
"Nothing," I say cutting him off before heading back into the living room. The last thing I want is my upcoming looming heat to be table discussion. I sit down drinking from my cup trying not to let the conversation ruin my mood for the party for me.
"How have you been Hinata?" asked Tendou. I look up and didn't notice him and Urikshima sitting next to Kenma making him look smaller in comparison.
"Oh you know, college life," I reply. "The normal stuff."
"I see," he says. "I wish you would reach out more."
"Sorry," I apologize. "I have been trying to get a summer internship so I can get my feet wet."
"Oh so annoying I know," says Tendou. "I forget what is your major?"
"Benefits Manager," I reply.
"What the hell is that?" asked Urikshima looking confused.
"Like I help interview people," I explain. "For jobs with a company. I also explain their benefits for them, get them sighed up, help with open enrollment, things of that nature."
"Sounds interesting," says Tendou.
"Yeah it is an upcoming job field so at least I know I will have a job for a while," I reply.
"Smart thinking," says Urikshima. "I swear we're all going to be replaced by robots in the future."
"Which would be dumb," says Tendou. "I mean there are things robots can't do, human emotions being one."
"Well there is that one robot that because a citizen or whatever," I reply. Tendou rolls his eyes.
"That female robot became a citizen in a country where she has no real rights!" he exclaims.
"Please don't get him started on that topic," begs Urikshima placing his hand on his thigh.
"Okay…" I say wondering what else to talk about. Urikshima sniffs the air. His eyes narrow at me and I shift uncomfortable.
"You okay babe?" asked Tendou looking concerned. "What's going on?"
"I'll be right back," I say standing up rushing from the living room. I swear alphas are too sensitive to our pheromones at times. I run into Iwaizumi hard knocking his drink out of his hand. "Oh god, I'm so sorry." Iwaizumi looks at me with a straight face.
"It's okay," he says. "You seem pretty shaken. Everything okay?"
"Everything is fine," I reply.
"Toru," yells Iwaizumi. "Can you please bring me some paper towels." Iwaizumi turns back to me. "We both know that is a lie." He stares at me closely. "You aren't getting into trouble because your heat is close are you?"
"No!" I exclaim. "That's not it!" Oikawa walks up with the paper towels.
"Iwai-chan, I had no idea you were this clumsy," he states handing them to him.
"It was my fault," I admit the guilt pouring off of me. Oikawa stares at me intensely.
"Come with me for a moment," he says. I follow Oikawa into Iwaizumi's room. My god his alpha scent is very strong but very well mixed in with Oikawa's. "If you don't mind please refrain from touching anything. I don't want your scent on my alpha's things. I'm sure you understand." Oikawa looks at me threateningly letting me know if I do mark anything he will kill me. I can sense that he will attack.
"I understand," I reply slowly.
