Izuku plugged in his phone. He made sure to wear extra underwear. It seemed like the only logical thing he could think of at that moment. He picked up his phone again and sent Tomura a message.
Izuku: I hope you guys are ok. Good night and I'm sorry.
Izuku snuggled up in Dabi's bed and closed his eyes. He felt exhausted and he was out before Tomura could text him back- if he would anyways.

It was about ten in the morning when Toshinori showed up. He was panicked, throwing off large amounts of pheromones screaming worry.
Shouta had undone the top half of the door so he could see when people showed up.
"Shouta?! Is everyone ok?!" the blonde omega yelled frantically.
"Calm down. Let me get the last board."
The alpha unscrewed the board with the power drill. The omega looked like a mess like he had rolled out of bed. He had one slipper on, in jeans and a sleep shirt.
"Izuku is in the basement with Dabi. I had to send the other three to an omega hotel."
"Thank god!"
The man looked so scared and panicked.
"Did he really do that? He picked up a rutting alpha and tossed his ass? You're kidding me!"
"Nope. Saw it with my own two eyes. Red eyes, blown out pupils and drooling. I was terrified. I never smelled anything like that in my life."
Shouta ran a hand through his unkept hair. It truly was a sight to behold.
"Is young Tomura ok though?"
"Yea…. He seemed to take a lot more well than we would've thought- I think."
"What about the door?"
Shouta smiled, "They should be here in thirty minutes. It's got special properties to keep scents inside the house-
"Let me pay for it!" he said reaching into his back pocket for his wallet.
"You sure he's not your real son? He's just like you. I paid for it this time, so don't worry about it. I have a good bit of savings thanks to my condition. That boy would fork over all his money if it would save one of us. He shouldn't be doing that."
Toshinori sighed and nodded.
"I had to call off work and explain everything. Izuku texted me and said he goes back to work Wednesday night since they were understanding of what happened. I can honestly say I am exhausted so much I might actually cry."
"It was that bad?"
"Well, there were eight police officers and only one came in. The house stunk of Izuku's feral scent that they looked scared to even walk inside. I didn't even want to be near him. I felt bad…. Tomura almost got raped, had to talk down Izuku, took a birth control shot and I yelled at him. I forced his 'mate' and I use that term loosely- to guard an in heat omega who had been begging for Izuku this whole time. I was just so upset with everything. I wasn't thinking straight."
"I'm sorry Shouta. That was a lot…. Anyone would've been upset... too upset to think straight."
The alpha just gave a slight nod.
"Let me get us some lunch and some coffee. I can get you one with a triple espresso shot. How's that sound?"
"That sounds like a miracle….. a delicious miracle. Thank you Toshi."
The omega beamed at the nickname.
"I'll be back."
Shouta sat on the floor by the broken kitchen table. He was tired. All these problems from the younger people in the house….. but what if Izuku never moved in? It was a sure thing that intruder would've raped Tomura and took advantage of Dabi in an instant. The thought of some other alpha touching Ochako made him angry and his skin crawl. He didn't want to think of that.
"Shouta?"
He shook his head out of his thoughts and looked at Izuku who was by the basement door. He looked embarrassed and tired.
"Is everything ok?"
"Y-yea. Can I bring Dabi up for a bath in my room? I need to change my clothes. I got…. you know on me. Dabi is pretty insistent but…. other than that it's ok."
"Go ahead. I have Lacey with me still."
"Alright."
"You can have Dabi if you want him."
The freckled man turned to look at the alpha like he was nuts. Shouta instantly felt bad but it had to be said.
"I wouldn't blame you. Dabi would be a good mate. He would treat you so well."
Izuku looked offended as he clenched his fists.
"Tomura did treat me well. I think this is too much all at once. I was thinking…. maybe I should move out."
The alpha sighed heavily.
"Izuku, that would hurt you more than anything. Until that mark fades, it's going to affect you in a lot of ways."
He didn't say anything as he went into the basement. Shouta sighed again.
He understood. He had a few friends that told him Ochako was too young for his old ass and that someone who went into heats constantly when he couldn't rut would be a wrong match for him. He loved the smell of her the moment he met her. Ochako smelled like a birthday cake. It was so sweet and welcoming.
When she offered to heat share with him, he felt so honored and shocked. They shared a few ruts together and it made him like her more. She was so caring, selfless…. She everything he had wanted but he didn't get excited. She was young and would eventually pick someone who wanted her and was at her own age. Instead of that, she went on dates with him. She got him presents. She was courting him.
It made him feel so damn young. He filled with pride when they went out together in public. She wanted to smell like him and kept him close. She was proud to show him off at omega stores and when she met the few friends she had on the street, she would go on and on about him.
She was a dream come true.
Shouta understood. Sometimes, you just wanted some regardless of their flaws. Sometimes you become to in love, so infatuated that common sense leaves and you ride it out until the bitter end or the happy ending you hope for.
He was brought out of his thoughts when the smell of Dabi's heat filled his nostrils. He saw Izuku carrying Dabi and looked like he was struggling a little bit.
"You need help?" Shouta asked as he stood up.
He stopped in his tracks when Dabi hissed at him. Izuku looked surprised and shook his head.
"I got it."
He nodded as they went up the stairs.
The door people showed up first and they were either omega or betas. Shouta wasn't sexist but once he explained to the company why, they understood. He heard some of the omegas talking about the strong, alluring alpha smell inside the house. Toshinori showed back up with coffees and breakfast sandwiches.
The omegas were shocked by how tall the omega man was he went inside the house and excusing himself for interrupting their work.
The two of them sat there on the floor eating.
"Is Dabi doing ok?" the blonde omega asked.
"I suppose so. Izuku took his up to his room to give him a bath. He sure is a good person."
"I taught him what to do."
Shouta arched an eyebrow.
"Not like that! I explained everything about how the differences in caring for omegas and alphas. He honestly thought he would end up with an alpha or a beta since he couldn't have an undetermined person as a mate. He always assumed an omega wouldn't want him but I taught him everything anyways. He decided for himself it would be better to be well rounded in taking care of someone instead of assuming just one second gender role."
"He seems more alpha."
"I'm not surprised. His mother is alpha. She did a good job at influencing him but he wasn't the normal kind of alpha. He told me more than once she as disappointed he wasn't more like her. He's more like you."
Shouta smiled and nodded, "I think he's better than me. Even with the amount of self control, that boy has is astounding. Hell, even Shouto likes him and that boy hasn't had sex in years as far as I'm aware of. He would deny it to his death but I can smell it."
The omega laughed, "He always comes off as well liked even though most people shunned him. It made me sad but when he told me he made friends with Eijirou I was so happy for him. The guy was alpha all the way and he was more respectful."
"Oh ok. Was he that great of an alpha?"
Toshinori nodded, "I was a little sad though. Izuku was oblivious to the fact the guy liked him. The alpha scented him hardcore and he always smelled like him. Izuku can't distinguish smells so I wasn't surprised he didn't know."
"Really?" Shouta said.
That kid just attracts people left and right.
"He asked me how to court Izuku but when I explained about Izuku he was a little disappointed. He wished he could date him. He looked up the paperwork on just mating Izuku and well… He would be required to have an omega as well because Izuku was just male with no second gender."
The alpha sighed.
"Izuku doesn't know?"
"Nope."
"Jesus."
"I'm sure he would've let him have the omega but he wouldn't have felt right. He wouldn't even be allowed to have a relationship with the omega either and the omega would just be a breeding mare and the boy didn't want that. He still comes in every morning and asks how he's doing."
"Love sick?"
"Well, they've been friends for the few years Izuku started college as a young teen. He was the only one who was nice to him for being younger. The young alpha is in his last year for a medical degree for sports medicine. He claims Izuku saved his life so he didn't have to eat ramen anymore. He provided for him and everything. He said he always got alpha vibes from Izuku but didn't say anything."
"Damn. That poor kid."
Toshinori nodded.
"Eijrou would've been a great mate if it weren't for the rules."
Shouta nodded. He took a sip of his coffee to see the omegas were staring at them.
"Did something happen?" the alpha asked.
"Is…. the alpha here?" a male omega asked, "He smells unmated."
Toshinori laughed, "He's taken right now."
The few of them groaned and looked disappointed.
"Good thing I got that door. Sheesh."

Tomura had been staring at the text Izuku had sent. He had no idea what the hell to say to him back. He was probably all over Dabi and it was pissing him off. Dabi was a great choice despite his appearance and it pissed him off.
"Will you stop that already?" Ochako asked, holding her nose, "You smell so bad."
Shouto nodded in agreement. Tomura reeked of insecurity.
"You did this to yourself."
"Don't you think I know that already?!" he snapped.
Ochako sighed.
"You've never been love sick in your life but it's not even that hard. Just let him take you already."
"I still don't know how you bit him when he was the one doing you," the beta said scrolling through his phone.
"Um…." Tomura said, turning pink, "That's not what…."
Ochako and Shouto stared at him.
"That's not what?" she asked narrowing her eyes.
"He…."
"Oh my god!" Shouto said, "He let you fuck him?!"
Ochako gasped, "What?!"
Tomura hid his face behind his hands, "Shut up ok!"
The two of them were stunned. It was unheard of!
"How was it?" she asked crawling across the bed, "Did it feel good?"
"Of course it felt good!" he yelled through his fingers.
"Did you guys take turns?!"
"He only let me twice. It was at the beginning and at the end. If I did anymore I wouldn't remember. I vaguely remember it but I know it was good. I liked it and I would like it again."
"That's hot," Shouto said with a sly grin.
Tomura got up and stood in the corner like a child, pouting.
"You sure you don't want him? Have you ever fucked anyone like that before?" Ochako asked.
"No I haven't. I've only ever been with alphas."
"You want him."
The omega stayed quiet.
"Just be vulnerable already," Shouto said, "The guy almost murdered someone for you."
"I still cannot believe this."
Ochako smiled, "With that smell of Izuku in the house, I actually felt safe. It wasn't until I had to leave I was actually afraid."
Shouto nodded, "I understand that. I'm beta and it affected me that way too."
Tomura stared at them with murder in his eyes.
"See! You look like that!" Ochako said, "None of us want him but you. You're literally stinking up the room with warning. Just mate him already. There are people who fuck when they meet and mate the same night! You aren't going too fast!"
"You were even jealous of his dad. I mean come on now."
"He…. he called me a brat."
Shouto's eyes widened, "Precious Izuku called you a brat?"
Tomura nodded quickly.
"He's not wrong."
"Ugh, I hate you people."
The two of them laughed.
"Shouta said the door is almost up," Ochako said, "I guess Dabi hissed at him."
Shouto rolled his eyes.
"He's an idiot."
Tomura sighed. The words the alpha said to him played in his mind over and over again. He felt like a terrible omega.
"Are you ok?" Ochako asked softly.
Shouto glanced at Tomura who stood there with a blank expression on his face.
"Um, about what?"
"Didn't…. that guy almost rape you?"
Tomura rolled his eyes.
"If I had a meltdown after every rape attempt I wouldn't be able to function."
Ochako gaped at him.
"I wasn't sheltered like you were. Once you're out in public without someone claiming, assault is usually a normal occurrence. You really think the cops are gonna just arrest the asshole? I was out in public. It pretty much screams 'I'm asking for it for going alone'. That's just how shit is anymore."
Shouto didn't say anything.
It was true.
That's just how it was.

"Hey son, how are you?" Toshinori asked as Izuku came down the stairs alone.
"I'm just tired."
"I bought something for you."
Shouta had finished picking up the pieces of the broken table.
"What is it?"
"After everything that happened, I know it's been difficult for you. I got you a shot."
The blonde omega pulled a plastic case out of his pocket.
"A shot?" Izuku asked looking confused.
"It's a special situation shot and I got it. It is injected into your scent gland to heal in a two day span. It would fade off faster and it would numb your body from the effects of the bite so it doesn't cloud your emotions. A friend of mine provided it and I trust her judgement."
Izuku stared at him.
"I didn't know if you wanted it but…. Just in case."
Izuku's eyes watered up.
"I don't want it."
Shouta looked a little surprised. Izuku's freak out had suggested otherwise.
"You can't mate correctly until it's gone. It would make things better for you. Will you please take it?" the omega asked.
He looked over at Shouta.
"He is right though."
"Oh- ok….."
"You two can remate and do it right much faster so you can feel better. I still think Tomura is a good choice," his dad said with a reassuring smile.
"R-really?"
"Yes."
"Ok. Can you do it?"
"Of course."
Shouta grabbed the basket off of their fridge and grabbed an alcohol wipe. He handed it to Toshinori. The needle stung going in but it did feel a lot better for him. Almost instantly the anxiety and the upset stomach he had went away. He let out a sigh of relief he had no idea he had been holding.
"Thanks."
Shouta glanced at Toshinori. That was some weird shot because the bite mark was half way faded already.
"I gotta go back and check on Dabi."
The alpha nodded.
"I'll call Shouto so they can come back home."
"I gotta go. I have term papers to grade and power points to watch then grade."
"Teacher life."
Toshinori laughed and nodded.

Ochako jumped into Shouta's arms as soon as she made it through the door. She kissed him so much he barely had a moment to breathe before he started laughing, trying to get away from her.
"I'm glad you were ok," he said brushing her hair out of her face then kissing the top of her head.
Tomura sniffed the air. There was a faint smell of unfamiliar omegas but it must've belonged to the ones who installed the door. They even fixed the door frame and everything around it. The color didn't match but at least the house was fixed.
"Tomura."
The omega glanced at Shouta seeing a stern look on his face.
"What?"
"Izuku took a shot for his bite mark. It'll help fade off the mark faster and it numbed the effects of it so he could be more himself."
"What?"
"Calm down. He rejected it at first but once we talked some sense into him, he took it. He's still with Dabi. If you wanna go up and help him out."
He grinded his teeth and nodded.
Tomura stormed up the stairs letting off stressed scents along the way. He was so pissed he wasn't even able to hide it. He did his best to calm down and took a deep breath. He knocked on the door.
"Don't leave me Alpha!" Dabi cried.
"I'm just answering the door. Go back to sleep ok?"
He could hear Dabi actively whining.
Did I sound like that?
Izuku opened the door and looked at Tomura in surprise.
"When did you guys get back?"
"Just now," he said swallowing hard, "Did you need any help?"
The expression on his face softened.
"No. I got everything. I gave him that blanket you helped me pick for him though."
"Oh ok."
Tomura's eyes landed on the faded mating mark. He felt his mouth go dry.
"Did you have sex with him?" he blurted out.
He wanted to punch himself in the face. Why would he ask that out of no where?
His green eyes got wide.
"N-no why?"
"Alpha!"
The omega looked up to see Dabi whining. He was completely naked and it irritated him so much. He needed to keep his composure but he was sure the smell was rolling off of him in waves.
"I….. I'm sorry."
Izuku blinked a few times.
"For what?"
"Everything…. I'm terrible at this. I just…. I'm not good with this because I never dealt with it. I know that you're a great person. I can't keep myself from feeling annoyed when people know you are too. I just…. I'm scared."
Izuku smiled.
"We can talk more when I'm free."
Izuku took his hand and gave it a light kiss. Tomura turned bright pink and nodded without another word.
I wanted to address some of the issues we have in our own world. People do a lot of victim shaming, ignoring the issue or having issues from the past. Also for Tomura to just accept the trauma and not being affected by it (visibly) because that is not normal!
I myself had adopted the 'it is what it is' mentality and I freak out on my own internally not wanting to bother anyone lol
Also in some ABO fics, the character being bitten would've normally been ok with (from the stuff I read anyways) but since Izuku isn't affected in the same way as the rest I wanted his reaction to be more dramatic but to think of others before himself anyways.
To also confirm, Izuku is not aware of what he had done and what he saw.
hitokori midnight- I plan for dabi to find someone amazing!
Blakleykm- Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
