hitokori midnight- thank you so much and I'm glad you like it! I'm fine lol accidents happen but I was more upset because I am a big coffee lover lol I live on it lol i was more devastated I would be without coffee. I only burnt a bathroom towel putting it out. At least the oven is fine lol My father in law gave me another coffee maker, brand new and it's 10 years old but works just fine. I love it ! How you enjoy this chapter!
I will try and update every other day. Some days I'm finishing 2-3 chapters but then others it takes 2 days to finish just one. I think I'm up to chapter 19 now? Most of my chapters are over 3000 words now and that thrills me lol
Izuku was exhausted by night fall. He couldn't believe how tiring it was to not have sex with someone when they were pulling out all of the stops to get into his pants. He had hoped by tomorrow this would be done with. He wasn't an alpha- he didn't knot. He was closer to a beta than anything if he had to guess. He liked Ochako from what he saw around her room when she wasn't trying to hump him continuously. She was wonderful in that sense. He hoped after this, she would be willing to come out of her room and visit more with everyone.
Ochako settled down, hanging on to him tightly. He kind of felt smothered but he would feel differently about it if he was having sex with her. He wouldn't do it no matter how bad his blue balls were. He hadn't really thought ahead when he moved into a house with three omegas, a beta and an alpha. Well, it wasn't like he had a lot of time to think about it. He was too nice to turn down helping her. Outside of the heat itself, it was like her having a fever.
He wasn't female but he couldn't decide if her having a period or a heat was worse. He would never know but there was no one who was experiencing both so it was hard to tell. He had to give it to her though…. It was exhausting and he couldn't imagine being her. He just hoped she was more lucid by morning.
He ended falling asleep around six and he never heard Tomura come in and place food on the dresser.

The next morning, he was woken up by someone thrashing about beside of him. He nearly had a heart attack when he saw Ochako standing up with her back plastered against the wall. She looked terrified and pale.
"O-Ochako! I'm so sorry- Shouta had me come in and watch you."
"Why weren't my roommates with me instead of you?!" she snapped.
"I don't know. We didn't have sex or anything. I helped you out- made sure you ok and things like that. Tomura brought in food yesterday and I made fried rice the night I came in to help. I'm not beta or anything actual. I'm just…. normal- weird? I don't know but I didn't make any moves on you like that."
She stayed against the wall thinking about everything he said. She still looked pretty upset so he couldn't blame her for any of that. She sniffed the air like she was trying to sense if they had sex after all or if he actually had any smell to him.
"If he trusted you…. I will trust you."
"Thank you."
Ochako looked at him curiously seeing the blush on his face. She stepped closer, ignoring the fact she was still naked. She sniffed at him.
"You smell. Not bad or anything. You smell…. like me but there's something else."
She dropped down on her knees in her nest to get closer to him.
"I can't place it but it's calming. Like home."
The freckled man smiled, "Thank you. You're a great omega to compliment me like that."
Ochako smiled at him. It seemed like a genuine smile.
"If I put on a shirt and an adult diaper, can you cuddle me some more? I more lucid than I was but I still feel needy."
"That sounds nice. I'm tired as hell."
She chuckled and left for the bathroom. He watched as she slipped on a light pink diaper and walked back into her room. She opened her closet and pulled out a black shirt with pink polka dots. She laid right back in the nest beside of him.
"I hope I didn't do things I will regret."
He laughed nervously.
"I'm not sure what that entails… but you're the first omega I went through a heat with."
Her face turned bright red and she hid her face in his neck.
"Jesus….." she hissed.
"Calm down," he said with a soft smile, patting her head, "Things will be ok."
She didn't say anything more as they snuggled in. The two of them stayed out until almost eleven in the morning.
Ochako woke up first, stretching carefully not to hit the freckled young man in the face. She sat up feeling the familiar ache and she was sweating again. She leaned over in pain and headed for the bathroom.
"Are you ok?" Izuku called as she staggered into the bathroom.
"I'm fine. I need to…. to relieve myself. You can leave and get your shower….. but can you leave your shirt?"
Izuku nodded and pulled off his shirt.
That's kind of sweet.
He grabbed the door knob when he heard her moaning. He got out of there quickly to give her some privacy. No one was in the living room when he looked over the banister so he headed for his room and his shower. He wasn't sure if her smell was ever going to go away but at least it smelled really nice.
Once he finished his twenty minute shower, smelling like Axe body wash, he went back to Ochako's door.
"Hey you want me to help you wash your nesting materials?" he called through the crack in her door.
"If you don't mind. Everything is soaking wet and gross. I am so sorry…."
"Naw it's fine."
He went inside her room, leaving the door open. He grabbed her basket by the closet and started filling it up.
"Oh…. Why did you leave me door open?" she asked looking at it anxiously.
Izuku shrugged, "I don't know why you hide. You smell so nice. I know I'm a little biased…. but even with your heat at the peak the smell wasn't so strong to hurt my nose. To me anyways."
Ochako stared at him.
"You…. you don't-
"I do understand though. I… can't have sex with anyone without legal consent unless they're infertile or beta male…. My whole life I've been treated as a disfigured creature. I can tell you that these few days I never saw a woman with a hormone problem. I saw a woman. Not someone with an issue."
She blinked.
"I would love for you to play games or even watch TV with me. I understand if you need time. I know I can't scent you but I can escort you places. You deserve to be free and happy. Not trapped in a room like a caged animal because people can't celebrate how different you are. I know I don't know you but I did the same thing. The most free I felt was here in this house. I have freedom."
Her eyes watered a little.
"I want to try but it's not easy….."
Izuku held out his hand, "Laundry is a good first step."
She smiled and nodded reaching for his hand. At least this time she was dressed in shorts and a tank top.
The two of them carried out the basket down the stairs together. Admittedly, it was a little heavy but they could do it together. Izuku hadn't even looked for the laundry room but it was behind the kitchen with a off white door. Ochako looked shyly around as Shouto and Dabi stared at her in amazement. No one in the house other than Shouta saw Ochako. It had to have been months probably since anyone other than him saw her. They made it into the laundry room and much to his surprise the washer and dryer were huge.
"Oh wow."
The omega smiled, "Dabi bought big ones for us since we wash so many blankets and pillows at once."
"Makes sense. What laundry soap do you use?"
She picked up a Purex bottle. It was plain soap with barely any smell.
"Oh, you didn't want a floral smell one?"
Ochako smiled sadly, "It sucks when all you do is smell others constantly. So plain soap eases my mind."
"Ah, makes sense. There's one I love by Gain. It smells like clean I guess?"
She laughed and nodded, "I normally don't smell them. I can trust your judgement."
"Would you prefer if I used plain soaps and such?" he asked looking concerned.
She looked thoughtful for a second.
"No. I like the way the soap on you smells. Smells like you. It's unique."
"You think everyone else will be ok with it? I don't want to overwhelm anyone's senses."
"We don't mind."
Izuku and Ochako jumped. They turned to see Shouto and Dabi standing in the doorway.
"You came out," the beta said.
"Y-yea. Just for a little bit."
"You want Chinese? Shouta gave me money for you. We can have it for lunch."
Ochako blushed and nodded without another word.
They got everything washed and Izuku ordered everyone lunch. He hadn't seen Tomura yet. He wondered if he was ok but he seemed like the loner type.
"I'll be in my room. I need small breaks from this, but get me when it's here."
Izuku nodded and gave her a smile. He waited in the living on the couch barely listening to the weather channel that Shouto seemed so into.
"Hey."
He turned his head slowly to see Shouto staring at him. He blinked a few times realizing his eyes were two different colors.
"Wow your eyes are just beautiful!"
Shouto's pale face turned bright pink with Izuku's comment leaving him slack jawed.
"Um, are you ok?" Izuku asked.
"Yea- yea. I just have a question for you. Are you seeing anyone?" the beta asked.
"No. Relationships are difficult for someone like me. Why do you ask?"
"Just curious. Your smell is easy on the nostrils."
He laughed. So many compliments in such a short amount of time.
Knock, knock.
Izuku jumped up with Shouto behind him to help get the food. Izuku tipped the delivery guy good and he placed everything on the table.
"I'll go get Ochako and Tomura," he said with a smile.
Shouto gave him a sly smile which puzzled Izuku and nodded but he said nothing. Izuku knocked on her door. Within a few seconds, she answered.
"I'll see you downstairs."
She nodded quickly and headed for the stairs, creeping carefully. Izuku knocked on Tomura's door but he didn't answer. He stood there outside of the omega's door debating whether he should go in or not. He knocked again but no answer.
Maybe he's napping. I'll bring up his food to help him out.
Everyone was at the table with smiles on their faces. They chatted and Ochako even joined in a little.
"I'll be back."
He grabbed two cartons and took them upstairs to Tomura. He knocked again but no answer. He opened it slowly seeing the guy was under his covers. He shifted slightly.
"I brought you food. I hope that's ok. If you need me, text me."
The omega stayed still and quiet. He left the food on the little stand by the door.
Izuku sighed and left the room. Something felt off.
Maybe it is just me. I don't really know him…. I really don't know anybody here.
He sat down with his roommates and started eating. It felt so normal. It was so weird that it was normal. He ate with a few people but once people found out he never presented- they were awkward about it and it made things hard for him. No one here minded he was so different. In fact they were interested in him. At first it was a little odd but now they smell him, he feels like….. them.
"Izuku are you ok?" Ochako asked, reaching across the table to take his hand.
"Huh? Oh yea… I was just thinking."
"About what you're making tonight?" Dabi asked hopefully with a big smile on his face.
Izuku smirked, "What did you have in mind?"
"Oh um….. Reuben sandwiches?"
Shouto bit down on his chopsticks just staring at his older brother.
"I've never made that. I'll look it up and get the stuff for it."
"Our Mom made that on Dabi's birthday almost every year when we were younger," the beta said, "I forgot all about that."
Izuku shot Ochako a look then glanced at Dabi, "Do you have her recipe? I can copy it the best I can."
"I know it by heart," Dabi said shifting in his seat, "I can write it down."
"Awesome."
"Did he answer you?" Ochako asked, picking at her food.
"Tomura? No he didn't. He seemed to be laying in bed."
She suddenly looked guilty.
"Are you ok?" he asked.
"I uh, remembered some stuff from the last few days. Did I really hiss and be mean to Tomura?"
Izuku turned pink and nodded.
"I feel so bad. I…." she trailed off.
Her big brown eyes watered up.
"I need to go to my room."
"No!" Izuku said standing up.
They all looked up at him.
"You were out of it and it's not your fault. Just calm down."
"I-
"I'll talk to him. It's ok."
"You don't have to be so nice, Izuku."
"I know, but I don't mind."
Shouto smirked and continued eating.
He smiles a lot like he knows something.
Once lunch was over, Izuku headed back upstairs to Tomura's room. Ochako smiled at him one last time and went back in her room. Well, at least he seemed to make one friend and kind of a chef for Dabi but it was ok. He enjoyed hanging with them…. Shouto was kind of weird but he was nice.
"Hey Tomura."
Izuku knocked on his door.
"Can I come in?"
He heard a grunt so he took that as a yes. He went in and shut the door behind him. The red walls were blood red and the carpet was black. He had a bed and then in the corner was a nest with dark colored fabrics. He had a huge TV and multiple gaming systems. It seemed to suit the omega. It made him smile.
"Tomura?"
Izuku looked down to see he had ate the food he gave him. That made him smile. He walked over to his bed slowly and tapped on his covered body.
"Can I sit down?"
He grunted again. Izuku smiled and pulled back the comforter. Tomura looked tired. His red eyes looked up at him.
"What?"
"Are you ok? Ochako is sorry for all the hissing…. She feels a lot better now."
"You're odd."
Izuku raised an eyebrow at him, "I know?"
"You were so comfortable with someone you didn't even know. Why?"
The pale haired omega sounded mad. Maybe he was imaging things.
"Because I was asked. Ochako is really nice. I see some of myself in her. She came out of her room for lunch."
Tomura stared at him as he sat up a little straighter.
"What? Really?"
"Yea. I've been there. I hope I can take her out shopping some time. I just feel bad I can't scent her to ease the discomfort. I feel the same for you and Dabi. I feel bad when I see the way people look at you. I had read unmated omegas smell better but they also get assaulted more. The assholes get fined but it doesn't stop them from doing it again."
The omega rolled over on his back to look at Izuku.
"How in the hell are you so understanding?"
Izuku grinned, "I like learning…. I looked up everything on alphas, betas and omegas to see how things are and how it would be for me. I looked it up my first night here."
"You would want an alpha?"
"Their second gender doesn't apply to me because it would never matter. The chances of me meeting another undetermined is one to a million and….."
Izuku got really quiet.
"You wouldn't be allowed to be with them either."
Izuku nodded as he swallowed hard.
"Jesus Christ, Izuku."
Tomura sighed and pulled Izuku down into his bed.
"What are you-
Tomura threw the blanket over both of them.
"You are the most uptight and relaxed guy I have ever met."
Izuku laughed.
"I can't help it. Your bed is super comfy though."
"Thanks. Got it at an omega store."
Izuku smiled. Tomura's eyes shifted slightly down to his freckles on his nose and cheeks.
"I have to go to the store. Dabi wants Reuben sandwiches tonight."
"I have never had that. Is it good?" the omega asked.
"I can't remember if I have or not but I am willing to try it."
"Ok."
"So, for a guy asking me why I am so comfortable with someone else, has pulled me into his bed."
"To be fair, you didn't even meet Ochako."
"That's true," Izuku said with a grin.
Tomura gave him a small smile and closed his eyes.
"So…. is that a yes you wanna go with me?" he asked.
The omega cracked open an eye, "Why not. I want a Mountain Dew while we're out if that's ok."
"Sounds good!"
Izuku got out of bed and pulled Tomura out as he groaned about having to get out of his warm bed. Izuku grabbed his shoes from his room and met him down stairs. He didn't see if but Shouto was making crude gestures behind his back and Tomura gave him the finger.
