Taichi Nanao was an omega.
Taichi was an omega.
He, Taichi Nanao, an actor in Mankai Company, excitable and loud and attention-hungry. And an omega. Apparently.
Bright blue eyes bored intently into the wall. Taichi's newly-presented body still throbbed with heat and pain, thoughts sluggish and slow with heat-daze. Or maybe it was the sheer shock of having all his expectations and assumptions about himself ripped out from under him. No matter how he phrased and re-phrased that sentence in his head, it didn't sink in. Didn't suddenly start to make any kind of logical sense. If anything, Taichi was left even more confused than before.
you went into heat
why didn't you tell us you're an omega

Taichi never liked being a beta. It was like the universe had given a him a direct message: that he was nothing special.
But, while he didn't necessarily like it, him being a beta at least made sense.
Omegas were completely different from betas. They had a different place in society, different biology, were treated differently.
How was he supposed to fit that mould? Taichi was a lot of things, but he was hardly omega-like.
(Not to mention scents. That was definitely something he could have done without. Only a couple of hours awareness and he was already overwhelmed.)
