Shouto was the only one allowed to go in and out of Izuku's room since he had no reaction to the pheromones he was secreting from his body even when he was unconscious. The beta ended up putting Izuku's work number into his own phone and gave them a call that his boyfriend went into heat sooner than normal. He promised to keep them updated until Izuku was back to his normal self.

He had sent Camie home this morning and Dabi was nice enough to give her a ride.

That was one less worry. He had called Hitoshi an hour before she woke up and told him everything. The omega was mad at himself but who would've saw that coming? Hitoshi had explained there was a few times Camie got all alpha like and it truly could be terrifying since it would alter her laid back attitude. Sometimes there was nothing anyone could do and they had to ride it out until it was over.

The fact he was so chill about it all, freaked Hitoshi about it.

The beta was chill- considering he had to face Izuku's feral state twice now. That night at the club he smelled a whiff of it too. It was so hard to miss. He thought he was dreaming it up but that party night he was excreting it then too without it actually affecting himself.

That boy is bringing down the house. If we didn't have that tranquilizer, Shouta would've been hurt badly. How could we explain that?

Camie had explained the dose would react to calm him down until all alpha pheromones were gone. It wasn't exactly an approved medicine but he trusted her judgement. He hadn't seen an alpha fight in a while. The ones between his parents didn't count since his mother never fought back. Those fights were not something he wanted to remember anyways.

Izuku seemed to be able to do basic things such as using the bathroom and drinking but he acted like he was drunk off Everclear. The beta felt bad he was like that but it was in the best interest of everyone and he didn't want to fight him. Ochako was even in the basement now with Dabi as a precaution with extra duty scent blocking patches.

The alpha of the house seemed more bothered his omega wasn't upstairs near him. Even though her room was drenched in her scent, it seemed like it was fading away to him.

Shouta was stuck on Tomura duty which bothered him more than usual. Even though in his next heat cycle, Izuku will have the permission to fuck his boyfriend- the whole thing was an issue right now. Izuku never spoke about the doctor so he must be hiding something or there was nothing to tell. There had to be something that needed to be told since Shouto was ready with a syringe of medicine. Camie didn't say anything either.

He couldn't just up and demand Izuku leave until his issues were sorted out. He was in just a fragile state as Ochako was.

The alpha closed the door behind him, with a heavy sigh.

"Hey."

He raised his head to the sound of Shouto's voice.

"What?"

"Izuku's mother has called his phone about ten times. She sounds annoyed he won't answer."

"Just shot her a message saying he's working some doubles and he'll get with her later. He hasn't spoke well of her so I'm sure she doesn't know anything about all of this."

"I did," the beta said looking tired.

"Shut his phone off."

"Ok."

"Does she know where he lives now?"

"I don't think so."

"I'll call Toshinori. Maybe he can shed some insight on her."

"Ok."

The beta went to his room and shut the door loudly. Shouta sighed and slid down the wall until he was sitting on the floor.

"Hello?"

"You have a few minutes?"

"I can. Give me a moment."

The alpha heard the omega say something but it was muffled like he was covering the phone.

"Sorry I was teaching. Is everything ok?"

"Your problem child is…. having issues."

Silence.

"He went full on alpha from the smell of Tomura's heat. Now his mother won't stop calling."

"Shit."

"Does she know where we live?"

"No. Izuku would never tell her unless he had too."

"Ok…. because he's knocked out kind of. It's been two nights since then."

"What- what happened?!"

"We had to stop him from fucking his boyfriend. They haven't sent the papers yet so he's off limits. That one contract was for that one heat… you remember how that went."

"I do. So they're just dating?"

"I assume so."

"He didn't tell you did he?"

"Tell me what?" Shouta asked sounding short.

"He isn't supposed to say. BUT this is becoming an issue. He…. he is undetermined but he's special one. He's a beta, omega and an alpha. He has the double gene for all of them instead of just one or none. The reason he's acting like that is probably because young Tomura is in heat. He was bitten by him remember? It must have some lingering affect on him."

"How can one person be all three second genders at once?"

"There are rare ones out there like that. All three scents neutralize each other until one of their sides is needed. Does an omega need comfort? He would produce an omega scent. Perhaps the romantic feelings he has, has made him act that way towards you. The rest of the time he's like a beta. His body might be reacting to everyone's pheromones all at once. Even though he himself cannot smell the difference, his body does."

"Jesus christ."

Toshinori hummed.

"I think the reason Izuku cannot tell the attraction of scents because he cannot tell the difference. Young Eijirou liked him too. I wonder if Izuku's body rejects the scent of alpha. That he is destined to only want omegas. I know about Dabi's child bearing issue and I think perhaps he had no attraction to him physically even if Dabi liked him. Izuku said he can smell Tomura. That he smelled different than before."

"Something about marshmallows?"

"Yes. I think Tomura might be more of the more evolved 'omegas' and he can sense who's the best mate. He only smells better because the best mate wants him. Izuku's doctor explained some things to me just in case Izuku had more questions. Is he unaware of his actions?"

"Shouto thinks so. He told me what happened between Izuku and Dabi. Izuku was trying to get away from the smell of Tomura."

"Hmmmm. His mother cannot see him like this. It would not be good."

"Why is it a big secret?"

Toshinori cleared his throat.

"You haven't thought why he kept it secret?"

"No. I have no idea."

"He would be experimented on. If someone- the wrong someone finds out…. I shudder thinking of it. They would use Tomura too and even the children they could produce."

Shouta swallowed hard. His mouth suddenly felt dry.

"He is not a stupid child. Not like most. I'm sure if he was brought up by someone who was undetermined, he would've been able to deal a lot better. His whole life he was around an overbearing alpha, no omega until college where he was around me. Then his best friend is alpha. I don't think he dated either of his exs for longer than a few months. He was brought up to be alpha so perhaps his body is choosing alpha? If he grew up to be what he wanted, he could've been any of the three dominantly. Maybe his body is confused? Maybe it finally has the chance to choose and now his hormones are battling it out. I cannot say."

"I feel like a huge dick."

"Why is that?"

"I just…. I thought how much trouble he was lately…. I just…." the alpha trailed off.

Toshinori laughed loudly.

"Shouta…. you're such a caring alpha," Toshinori said with a chuckle, "I'm an one hundred percent sure Izuku would agree with you on that. It is troubling. I am worried if his mother shows up, it will ruin his progress."

"You know him better so I will have to agree."

"I have to go. I promise to come over tomorrow. Hopefully he will have more common sense."

"Yea."

"Good bye. Call me if you need anything."

" Alright... Thanks Toshinori. Good bye."

Shouta hung up. He held his phone in his hand just staring at it.

Shit.

"So…. it's ok to be up here?" Ochako asked looking worried, glancing at the second floor of the house.

"For now. We need to talk."

Dabi raised his eyebrows, "You're using your teacher voice. Must be serious."

Shouto stayed quiet.

"I talked with Toshinori. He told me what Izuku's deal is. It's…. complicated."

"We've noticed," the beta deadpanned.

"He's an omega, alpha and beta. In one person."

Silence. Stunned silence actually. The shell shocked looks on their faces spoke volumes.

"The fact you're all quiet says you had no idea."

Shouta sat down in the big plushy chair.

"He's guessing Izuku is hitting puberty in a way... That's how it seemed to me anyways. Like it had been delayed somehow…. thanks to his mother."

Ochako picked at the hem of her shirt.

"What does this mean for us?" she asked quietly.

She glanced at Dabi then back to her fiance.

"I don't think he would actually go after you," Shouta said but he sounded unsure, "Toshinori made it seem like Izuku was a higher level of human evolution. That he knew who would be the best mate and Tomura would too. That some how…. they belonged together."

"You mean Tomura is like…. an evolved omega?" Dabi asked.

The alpha nodded tiredly. Shouto and Dabi exchanged looks that did not go unnoticed but Shouta kept it to himself.

"Izuku's omega, alpha and beta are fighting for control. It seems maybe alpha is winning."

"Fucking crap," the black haired omega said sitting back against the couch, "So, he would….. stay away from us because we aren't Tomura?"

"Toshinori made it seem as if Izuku can't smell the difference but his second genders do. The reason he wasn't able to catch on you liked him…. Because you can't have children. It's why he didn't want his college friend, because he is alpha."

Dabi blinked a few times in shock. That certainly hadn't come up yet. He was shocked but why would he be? Izuku was so likable, who wouldn't want that freckled cutie?

"We need to take some small steps now. Careful ones. Those shots, Shouto…. Can Camie get a few more? Like a contingency plan just in case shit hits the fan?"

"I can ask."

"Alright."

"Maybe we need to have a talk with him. We can't protect him or prepare. Maybe we need…. to ask… them to leave?" Ochako suggested with her voice low.

Dabi's head snapped to the side as he glared her in the worse kind of way. Dabi started leaking a protective, annoyed scent at Ochako. She shrank some under his glare. Shouta did his best not to move from his spot. If he tried to get between them then it would be bad. He might hurt the black haired omega for threatening his fiance.

"I don't fucking think so."

"Well…. we can't force them to mate."

"She's right," Shouto said, "We can't force them to do anything. How can we guarantee that things between them won't become violent when…. they're allowed to have sex without consequences?"

No one could answer that.

"He could get suppressants," Dabi said.

"Yea but that would be up his doctor. Don't they go back soon?"

"Yea."

"I think Tomura's pregnancy test was canceled since they're together now. He's in heat now so he definitely isn't pregnant."

"What will happen if his mother shows up?" the beta asked, "Izuku isn't fond of her and with him going through everything it won't be pretty."

"I don't want her here and Toshinori was sure she didn't know where we lived."

Ochako shifted in her seat uncomfortably. Any time he spoke of the alpha mother, she seemed….. elitist and slightly sexist. The fact he didn't speak often of her either, was another fact that made her nervous. She had been around enough sexist people in her life and that included her parents. She liked being in the house. She liked being free from having to be proper and no one was trying to smell her.

"I don't want her here."

"I have to agree with that," Dabi said, "We don't need an outside alpha stinking up the place and trying to press her sexist bullshit on us."

"I know everyone."

Shouta rubbed his temples.

"I think everyone is thinking Izuku as an issue," Shouto said, "We didn't throw Ochako out when you two were covering the house in slick and fuck me hormones. We managed to find a way to get through until she got her medicine. We fixed the house too. We got through that one rut with you. You were begging at your door for hours to be let out until you and Ochako started hooking up. This is all very new but it's no reason to panic."

Suddenly they looked more ashamed than they had been.

"Why didn't we just switch out their bed clothes so they can just fuck that until it was over?" the beta said, "Most people do that. I'm willing to tackle Izuku as many times as needed to ensure he's fine. He's my friend. If it wasn't for him, you wouldn't be making googly eyes at Eijirou."

Dabi made a face but nodded.

Shouto turned to Ochako, "He dealt with you. He didn't even know you. None of us wanted to watch you if we're just being honest. He got you to come out of your room. I don't know what was said but look at you now. You're going out. You're hanging out with friends. Hell you even video chat your parents now."

Shouto faced Shouta. The alpha knew what was coming. He deserved being scolded like a child. Shouto had been the only one to be the most understanding.

"You would've never had the guts to ask her out or even be engaged. We kept telling you guys to just make it official but you wouldn't listen. You wanna know what changed? Izuku. He changed every single one of us. I think him and Tomura are great for each other. Tomura is kind of stupid but even he's changed a lot. We just have to go along and handle it like we did for each other."

No one spoke.

"I would've never gotten with Hitoshi and Camie. If we never went that night…. Camie would've never gave me that syringe to subdue him. He made this house better. He paid off the house and still paying rent. He's faced so much in his life as much as the rest of us if not more. We can't just kick him out because it's really difficult. Why don't we all just go to the appointment with them to learn more? What if we have future children or nephew or nieces who are undetermined? Are we just going to stay ignorant?"

"N-no," she said looking at her lap.

"Alright then. Let's make dinner!" the beta said standing up, "Some has to help because some peppers look too similar and I could use jalapenos by accident again."

Shouta glanced at Dabi, cocking an eyebrow. Leave it the antisocial beta to be the voice of reason.

-10 Days Later-

Izuku, Ochako, Shouto and Tomura were shoved into the backseat of Shouta's car while he drove and Dabi had called shotgun. Going off to see Doctor Nemuri certainly was an adventure for everyone. It seemed everyone had to piss or want a snack every thirty minutes making the drive even longer. Good thing they left two hours earlier than normal.

"Oh, that's the same building I go to but on the other side," Ochako said.

"Really?" Tomura asked- he was actually surprised.

"Yea. I have to update my paperwork anyways since I'm engaged. Hopefully it'll space out my appointments better."

"We can do that after," Dabi said, "I'm sure people are going to get the wrong idea with all of us going in at once."

Izuku chuckled but he had been pretty quiet. He and Tomura sat on the couch while Shouto told them everything that happened. He couldn't help but feel slightly betrayed. He honestly did not blame any of them but it still hurt. Then the looming threat of his mother wanting to visit him was still there made matters worse. He didn't want her around his friends and boyfriend. None of them fit normal criteria for the perfect mate in her eyes and she would probably disapprove of Tomura too.

She disapproved of anyone Izuku had in his life.

He had fallen for a childhood friend at the age of ten but because he was going to be alpha, 'two alphas are not a right especially if they are both boys.' Then they moved because his mother was not happy with his choice in mates. He really loved that blonde haired boy. He was perfect.

Izuku was a sucker for love stories. He dreamed of the day he would find someone. Someone so special. Someone who would want him for him and accept him even if he wasn't like everyone else. Maybe he was slightly biased because he wanted someone more typical. He wanted to feel like he belonged- belonged by someone more normal.

Why was he with Tomura then?

That dark little voice. It had been years and years since he heard it. It always re emerged to torment him when he liked someone. It told him he wasn't worthy of some omega other alphas wanted. Tomura had made it clear alphas wanted him but him didn't want them.

Those dark thoughts, the sexist shit his mother had spouted during his childhood was coming back. The horrible thoughts and worries he had as a teenager whenever he liked someone...

Now he was acting like some animal. He wasn't even remotely close to human anymore. He was acting people he cared about.

Oh no.

I'm gonna be sick.

"Izuku?" Shouta said looking at the rear mirror.

He didn't hear him. He crawled over Shouto and threw the door open. Luckily they were in the parking lot but still…. At least he managed to make it to the bushes before blowing chunks.

Maybe at first he felt like it was all one sided. Even when he bit him, he told himself it was the heat. Even when he told him the darkest secret that would get him locked away to be experimented on….. It didn't matter. Now, he was officiating something that almost seemed like marriage in a way.

In a way it was a little fantasy in his head for a while…. but the fact he almost hurt his friends…. He wanted Tomura that bad it overrode his common sense….

He no longer wanted an omega. If this was who he was….. he would hurt them. Himself and anyone else who would tell him no. That was not ok.

"You going to be ok?" Ochako asked as went to reach out and rub his back but he flinched.

She pulled away like she had been burned by his reaction.

"I need a few minutes. Go upstairs and I'll be there shortly."

Tomura eyed him suspiciously.

"You sure? Did you catch the flu?"

"I don't know. Give me a short bit and I'll be in."

He heaved again and puked some more. Tomura glanced at the others.

"I-I'm fine! Just need a few minutes alone."

They didn't believe him in a way but they went inside anyways.

"Ugh..."

Tomura had to say it had been outrageously awkward for a while now since he came out of his stupor. Izuku couldn't look anyone in the eye. He looked ashamed constantly. The omega hated he had no sense of self in a heat and he wished more than anything he could've been there to talk him down.

He stayed silent in that elevator. He couldn't help but think there was something else going on. He looked scared out of his mind and his scent was weirder in the car.

I wonder if…. he's worried about us now.

Seeing Izuku feral was something that would be forever burned into his memory. It thrilled him. He had always wished he was an alpha himself and to see someone like Izuku exert that kind of power sent shivers down his spine whenever he thought about it. To be with someone like that, he couldn't be more proud. To think he made someone like that... stroked his fragile ego. His inner omega preened at the thought.

Once they were inside the office, every single head turned to look at them. Ochako turned bright red and hid her face in her hair. Shouta grabbed her hand and gave it a tiny squeeze. Tomura signed them in and they waited.

He did his best not to stare at his phone to check the phone.

Ten minutes.

Fifteen minutes.

Nineteen minutes.

Tomura: You ok? Are you in the toilet? 11:23am

Tomura: Izuku? 11:27am

Tomura: They're gonna call us soon 11:39am

Tomura: We're in the back already. Are you alive? 11:46am

Doctor Nemuri came in and explained everything. Paperwork went through, yada yada yada.

Tomura: Hey! 12:01pm

Tomura: This isn't funny- are you ok? Are you really sick? Do I need to come to you? 12:10pm

"Ok. You all can leave. See you in four months when we will evaluate your paperwork."

Tomura got up and bolted out of the office even with people yelling at him. He swallowed hard, his mouth running dry. He checked every bathroom but Izuku was in none of them. He finally went outside to the car but Izuku was no where to be seen.

He knew he was stinking up the air now. His scent smelled of rotten flesh and fear. Anger. Disappointment.

He had no idea how long he sat there on the concrete just staring at the bushes Izuku had puked in.

He already knew what happened. There was nothing more to think about.
