….. Wow, I definitely wasn't expecting such a brilliant reaction to the first chapter of this story. All the reviews I got made me so happy, thank you all SO much for reviewing! Alright, this is how my story is going to work this time: each chapter is going to be in either Shizuo's or Izaya's point of view, and, after this chapter, will basically be a recap of the previous chapter in the other person's point of view with a bit more added on. It's a new style of writing for me, so tell me if it's any good.
Every Alpha Needs An Omega: Chapter Two
'The humans aren't going to come out today; the streets are too wet from the rain.' I thought to myself as I stared down at the barren streets of Shinjuku. I sigh as I spin in my chair to face my laptop and open up a search for an information request that I got this morning. I find the desired information almost immediately and I commit it to memory. Bored again but unwilling to go onto the Dollars chat and see what is being said, I proceed to spin in my chair again.
Oh! I didn't introduce myself, did I? How rude of me. I am Izaya Orihara, I am twenty-three years old and I am a male Omega. Yes, I'm a part of that exceedingly rare breed. I possess short, raven-black hair, crimson tinted eyes and a small frame. I wear a black, long-sleeved sweater, black jeans, black, heeled boots and a black jacket that has tan fur lining the bottom, cuffs and hood.
My hobbies include people watching, reading, gathering information and manipulating a human's mind. You can tell from my social class and hobbies that I'm a bit of a walking contradiction, huh? "Omegas are meant to be soft, loving and timid, even the male ones." You say?
Well…~ You're wrong.
That is a fairytale rule told to child Alphas, Betas and female Omegas. No doctors know anything about us as we all stay away from doctors and hospitals, and you can't tell a person's class by things like blood-type anyway. There's a reason it's so easy for people like me to hide our class: we just have to be ourselves.
No one knows that I'm an Omega, not my parents, my sisters, my few friends; none of them. Only I know because if anyone else knew then the day that I turned fourteen I would have been sold off to the highest bidding Alpha by my money-grabbing parents.
Fourteen is the legal age that you can be sent off to mate at. Yes, despite how old-fashioned that sounds, it does still happen in this day and age. It's sort of like an arranged marriage, but the Omega's parents get a large pay-off.
I know that because I haven't told anyone what I am that I'll probably be alone all my life, but that doesn't matter. Sure, I'll never have an Alpha that I belong with, I'll never have children running around our house, and I'll never be able to go through my accursed heats with an Alpha, but so what?...
Alright, even I'm not good enough to get away with lying to myself. Of course I want to hear a baby's cry and know that only I will be able to calm it down. Of course I want to be able to cuddle up with my Alpha during a stormy day and watch movies together, and of course I don't want to die a virgin, but I did this to myself.
I purposely isolated myself because while loads of Alphas would want to do those things, they wouldn't want to do them with me. They would want me for two reasons and two reasons only: sex and to produce their offspring.
I do know of some male Omegas, for instance that high-schooler Mikado, but no one knows me as an Omega. All male Omegas are basically the same: we isolate ourselves bar a few friends and go through life waiting to be caught out by a smart Alpha, and be swept off our feet. Every Omega wants an Alpha because they are able to protect us.
There is one positive thing in my life though: Shizuo Heiwajima, or as I like to call him, Protozoan, Brute, Monster, etc. And the reason he's a positive aspect of my life? I might have a miniscule, tiny, barely worth mentioning, crush on him. What reason do I have to like him? I'll list them for you.
1, Strongest man in Ikebukuro, possibly the world, so could easily protect me (if he wasn't hurling objects off of the street at me).
2, He has a nice personality (I've seen him with Shinra and Celty when he thinks that I'm not there, and he's actually really nice).
3, Despite the fact that I call him a protozoan, he is an Alpha, therefore he is actually quite smart.
4, He's always surprising me; I can never predict what he'll do like I can with all other humans, so he keeps me on my toes and it's refreshing.
5, Let's be honest here; Shizuo is really good-looking, as am I, so think what our kids would look like- gorgeous (and yes, Omegas think about children a lot- live with it).
'Now if only he didn't hate me, we'd be in business!' I thought to myself as I finally stopped spinning in my chair. I was still extremely bored. No humans were out, Namie isn't here so I can't bug her, I have no more jobs to do for a while, the weather is too bad to go to Ikebukuro, and even if it wasn't, that devil called heat was beginning to affect me again and would be in full swing by the time I reached the city, so I couldn't go anyway.
Female Omegas' heats are every six months to a year, depending on their fertility, while a male Omega's heat is every three months. Now you see why we're so sought after. When my kind of Omega is in heat, we have an insatiable sex-drive that can last from a few days to a week and a half and only an Alpha being inside us can sate us, otherwise we're in immense pain. This is why I'm not in Ikebukuro for a while every three months, but no one has noticed the pattern as I sometimes just don't go there for a while to throw them off. And, as it just so happens, my heat is just starting and my heats last for the full week and a half. Oh joy.
"I need to give Namie a few weeks off, and I need to put off any meetings I have." I mutter to myself as I walk through my office and into my apartment that's attached, through my living room and into my bedroom. From there I call my clients to rearrange my meetings and then Namie and tell her that I won't be needing her services for a few weeks and proceed to crawl into my bed where I will probably remain for the rest of my heat, except for showering, using the bathroom and eating.
The awful life of an adult male Omega without a mate truly is rock-bottom….
Alright, about updates, I'm a GCSE student, so I have a lot of coursework that I have to do as well as regular homework, so I'm going to try and update every Sunday, but it may end up being every two weeks if I'm too busy. Also, for a creative writing assessment in English, I basically wrote a fanfiction for Shizuo and Izaya on power, should I upload it on here? Review please!
