I had planned to update the other day but AO3 decided no and when I was in the middle of editing this chapter it went stupid and I lost all my editing.
I hate redoing things lmao I wanted to flip my laptop but I didn't... the urge was there though lol
get ready for some fluff lol i think Izuku and Tomura have suffered enough.
It had been a full seven days since he started the suppressants and it seemed like it was working in some way but his left eye remained red. Izuku felt lighter in a way like some of the stress had disappeared some but he felt something else on the edge of his mind. He couldn't figure it out for the life of him but he didn't think about it too much.
He had noticed his dad was giving him some weird looks but he assumed it was because he was worried about him. Who could tell what was wrong?
I feel tired and hot.
He felt like he had this urge to rub all over the couch like a cat. He frowned and made a face. That was a new feeling...
Izuku stretched on the couch and flopped over onto his stomach groaning slightly. He hadn't been this annoyed in forever with himself. He could do some overtime work but that didn't sound appealing either. What could he do instead? Maybe eating would be a good idea.
Yea…. that sounded good. That sounded really good!
Izuku jumped up and headed for the fridge. He pulled out lettuce, lunch meat, tomatoes and mayo. He made the biggest sandwich he could before it would fall over. He cut it in half with his mouth watering and sat down to eat it. It looked like something Shaggy from Scooby Doo would eat.
It still wasn't enough. He headed for the pantry and found plain chips. His mouth was watering at the sight of the yellow bag. He snatched it and grabbed a bottle of fruit juice. God, that fruit juice tasted so much better than usual...
So he had another one.
All day….
Izuku continued to eat like he hadn't eaten in days.
By dinner time, Toshinori made dinner. It was a simple spaghetti and garlic bread dinner- enough to feed at least five to six people. Izuku had three plates and six slices of bread. The boy seemed like it wasn't enough and he was back in the pantry for a box of snack cakes. His dad didn't say anything but this wasn't good.
There was no point in telling Izuku without stressing him out. All that boy had done was stress out.
Oh fuck. This is the worse case scenario.
"Izuku."
The young freckled man looked up from his fourth snack cake. His left eye was still red.
"Yea Dad?"
"I need to go to the store. I'll be back in a little bit. Don't go outside, ok? It's getting dark."
Izuku nodded quickly, "Alright. Can you bring me back Mcdonalds? I'll eat anything."
The older omega smiled, "Of course. I'll be home soon."
Toshinori locked all the locks on the front door and then punched in the key code. If Izuku decided to wander out anyways, he would need the code to get the front door open. It was safety precaution he put in good money for when he still had his heats. He didn't want to be wondering out and doing god knows what.
Thank god that shit is over for me.
He got in his car and pressed the speaker button before calling Chiyo. He hoped she would answer even if she was in the middle of sleeping.
"Hello Toshinori. What are you calling so late for?"
"Um, we have an issue."
"What kind of issue?"
He listened to her hum for a moment before answering her.
"He's going into heat."
Silence then a loud bang rung through the car.
"You're shitting me! It has barely been a whole week! We shouldn't see anything for at least a few more weeks."
"I wish I was. He's eating everything and he seems restless. I… I feel terrible. I'm going to an omega store and getting him some stuff. I feel like he will want his own stuff right?"
"I have a suggestion. You or him may not like it though."
"Chiyo…." he said with warning in his voice.
"It's nothing to do with you and Izuku if that's what you're worried about. The boy won't even be attracted to you because you're fixed. You are gonna have to do this tonight. If the symptoms are that strong already... We don't have much time."
"What…. what is it?"
"You need to get Tomura."
"What? What? Izuku will never be able to forgive me if I did that! Are you out of your damn mind?" he shouted.
He didn't mean to shout but Izuku had been so down in the dumps... Wouldn't that be like betraying him?
"Perhaps but who else can take care of him? He's been without his mate for over a month now, correct? Let's not pay pretend here… it would be more ideal and an easier transition for Izuku in the long run. Honestly, his scent might ease it off. You can set the terms for this. You can tell Tomura not to sexually interact but to just care for him- if you prefer that."
Toshinori grinded his teeth.
"This isn't good Chiyo. I don't like the options..."
"You're right- it isn't. If Tomura is a constant in his heat cycles, his would've already ended. Go get that boy. Now. Take him to the omega store. Izuku probably has another day at most until it gets bad."
"Fuck, alright."
Toshinori took a side street and turned around.
"Bye Chiyo. Thanks for your help."
"Anytime. I'll have my ringer on, so call me whenever if you need me."
"Will do. Bye."
Toshinori groaned loudly before hitting Shouta's number on the screen. It rang twice before the alpha picked up.
"Toshi? What's up?"
"We have a big fucking problem," the omega said with his voice tense.
"….. What…. is it?"
"Get Tomura. I need you both to hear this. Now. I'll be at your house in ten."
"Fucking hell. Hold on."
He could hear the footsteps of the alpha on the other side and he was calling the red eyed omega's name. After a minute of silence, Shouta cleared his throat.
"We're on speaker phone."
"I want to apologize because of everything that had happened but Izuku's….. special doctor suggested this idea to help. Izuku decided he was a threat to everyone and decided to try suppressants but…." he trailed off.
"But?" It was Tomura.
"He took them and he's going into heat."
Silence. It was deafening and nerve wracking. Toshinori swallowed hard. His mouth felt dry.
"I am going to take you to the omega store with me and we need to get him some nesting things. She said you needed to be with him. He's on birth control just in case…. She said I could set the terms of his heat but honestly I don't know what to suggest. He's terrified he's going to hurt all of you. His eye hasn't returned to green either. He's scared out of his mind but right now he's eating everything in the kitchen. He's restless."
Silence still. This wasn't going well.
"I know this is a lot and I know he hurt you but he's really been beating himself up since he left. He probably doesn't deserve it but he needs the help. The comfort he needs it and I won't be able to give him what he needs. I don't know what terms to put down. If you want me to pay you I will…. Whatever it takes. I'm really worried about him."
"He went to get his shoes," Shouta said finally, "Toshinori…. Is it true for the reason he left?"
"Yes. He broke my table in the process. The way his doctor explained it, he's being flooded with hormones and his body isn't adjusting well. He can't control it well. Our first step was this one. He's on the max dose. So he's full on omega and beta right now."
"That poor kid is going through hell and back. He needs a damn break."
"He's afraid to be alpha."
"It… it isn't the best I can admit that. I would've preferred being beta myself. Being alpha is a struggle in itself."
"I'm ready."
"Ok, I'll be there in a few minutes."
"Bye."
"Bye."
"Bye."
Toshinori hung up as his knuckles turned white from gripping the steering wheel too hard. He just hoped that Izuku's heat was like a regular omega heat and nothing more than that.

Tomura stood outside waiting impatiently. His poor mind was reeling. Never in a million years…
He's omega now. Is it forever or just for a while?
The thought hurt his chest some. It felt like someone was squeezing his heart.
That's scary. He's really scared huh? Shit... I'm scared for him.
Who could blame Izuku? That sweet freckled guy was going through the ringer.
Tomura no longer felt hurt by him leaving. It made sense why he left but he wished the freckled male would've just told him what was bothering him. The omega snorted.
The irony. I never wanted to tell him anything and here it's happening to me. I guess I can see the frustration now from it. Why in the hell did he even like me?
Toshinori pulled up a moment later. Tomura got in quickly, taking in a the smells of Izuku's adoptive dad. It was somewhat calming but the smell was laced with worry and hurt. Uncertainty.
"Thank you so much!" the blonde omega said as he pulled away from the house.
"Is he in bad shape?"
"Kind of. He's pretty much ate almost all the food in the house. He wants me to get him Mcdonalds."
Tomura snorted, "That's funny. I can relate. The people at Dominos know me by my first name now. I'm sure they even have my number memorized."
Toshinori laughed loudly, "Ah ok. Well, I feel a little better then. I never got like that but everyone is different."
"Am I really the best person for this?" the younger omega asked, "He…."
"I know. I wasn't too fond of the idea. Not that you wouldn't be able to help or I have anything against you but I am sure he misses you all. He… he smells just like all of you."
Tomura's eyes widened.
"He… he still does?"
"Yea. Chiyo said the same thing. It is a bit on the sour side but he's been stressed out a lot."
"Y-yea. I don't blame him."
"You think Shouta or Dabi can drop you off when it gets bad? She predicted it would be tomorrow or tomorrow night…."
"Yea, sure."
They pulled up to the omega store and got out. Toshinori grabbed a cart.
"I'll pay for everything. You can pick it all out. He doesn't have much right now... This wasn't supposed to happen for a few more weeks."
He didn't say anything but he nodded.
It didn't take Tomura long to fill up the cart much to Toshinori's surprise. He picked nice things out- things that would suit Izuku. He picked out greens, a few reds and some stuff that had computer related object patterns. He knew what the green haired undetermined would like.
He really paid attention. It made the older omega's heart swell with pride.
"Thank you so much."
"Are you going to give him all the stuff?" Tomura asked.
"No. I will wait… I placed some extra stuff in his room this afternoon. He's been attached to the living room and kitchen for now."
"Ok."
They stayed silent until they reached the house. Tomura got out and gave him a nod before heading inside. All he had to do was wait now.

Toshinori returned home with the promised Mcdonalds. Izuku was on the floor watching TV with a big red bowl of popcorn.
"Hey Dad! You were gone a while."
"I know. Sorry about that."
Toshinori had been in his car with all the windows down to get the smell of Tomura off of him. He didn't like lying or keeping secrets but this was something that had to be done delicately.
"How are you feeling?"
"I feel hungry and hot. I took a bath already."
"Great. Here's your food."
"Yay!"
Izuku jumped up and grabbed the paper bag from his hands. His red eye looked like it turning more pink. Well, that was some relief. Toshinori's blue eyes landed on the carpet. It was wet and when his son turned around, the back of his pants were wet too.
Oh shit.
Things were a lot closer than they had thought.
"After that, why don't I take you upstairs? It's been a long day and you should sleep."
"Well…. I guess you're right."
It didn't take Izuku longer than five minutes to eat a double quarter pounder with a large fry and a twenty piece nugget. Where was he putting it all?
It could be the hormones causing him to eat endlessly. He was being flooded with omega hormones and it wasn't something he experienced in his life. Of course it would hit him harder. Toshinori convinced him to change his clothes too in the bathroom so he lay down a plastic mattress cover and few bed pads underneath the bed sheet.
"I do feel tired. I haven't felt this exhausted in forever. I feel like I'm back in college again," Izuku said when he returned to his room.
The omega laughed and nodded, "I remember those days as well. I thought a few times I would see you walking around with a coffee pot in your hands but you made it."
Izuku smiled as he laid in his bed. His mismatched eyes were growing heavy and his lids closed as soon as his dad covered him up. The blonde omega smiled and set up the baby monitor in his room. It would serve the purpose to alert him if anything happens.
I better get to sleep too.
He locked the two dead bolts on Izuku's door before going into his own room.

It was almost three in the morning with Toshinori woke with a start. He sat up to hearing the banging coming from the baby monitor. Izuku was beating on his door, wailing and whining. He grabbed his phone and called Shouta. It took him three times of calling before the alpha answered.
"Is it time?"
He sounded like he wasn't even sleeping.
"Yea…. sounds like it. I think he's going to break down the door."
"Shit, alright. I'll bring Tomura. Text me your address."
Toshinori went to Izuku's door.
"Son, are you ok?"
"Why does it hurt so much?!" he cried through the door.
The omega winced. He felt so guilty and there wasn't any pain medicine that would ease the discomfort.
"Son, it's gonna hurt because it's your first one. Do you want a bath?"
"It's so hot….. why is it so hot?"
Toshinori unlocked the door slowly, taking a deep breath. He needed to mentally prepare himself for what his son might look like. Once he opened the door he was almost slammed into by Izuku who was in ripped up shirt and his boxers. He had claw marks on himself and it looked bad... at least he wasn't really bleeding.
"Jesus! Izuku-
"Can I have a cold bath….. please?" he begged, "Everything is so…. so hazy. I don't feel like myself. It's so hot!"
"Of course but it'll be warm not cold."
"Anything please Dad….."
"Let's head for the bathroom. I have someone who is an expert in this area to help you."
"Help…. me?"
At least he can still talk.
Toshinori nodded as they walked to the bathroom. He started the hot water first and pulled of the mess of what was left of Izuku's shirt. The young man managed to take off his soaking boxers. He cranked up the cold water next. He let the tub fill up half way and allowed Izuku to get in. He groaned a little bit but sighed in relief once he was in.
"I'll be back. Take your time ok? Just don't leave the bathtub."
Izuku nodded slowly before laying his head against the bathroom tiles. He let out another sigh as the blonde omega headed downstairs.
Toshinori went to his car and grabbed the stuff they bought earlier. He closed his trunk when Shouta pulled up and Tomura got out.
"Is he bad?" the alpha asked once he rolled down his window.
"No, not yet. He's still has some sense to himself but he's really uncomfortable."
"I'm not surprised. My first one wasn't the greatest either," Tomura said, shoving his hands into his pockets.
"Mine either."
"Well, if you need anything call me," the black haired alpha said.
The man looked exhausted.
"Go home and get some sleep," Toshinori said, "I won't bother you unless I have too."
"I'm hoping he moves back in."
Tomura's head snapped up and towards Shouta's direction. Tomura didn't expect the alpha to say that.
"You…. you do?" the older omega asked looking shocked.
"Of course. I miss him. A lot of everything that happened was only possible because of him. I love the boy like he's my son almost. I wouldn't be engaged to be married without his help. Ochako wouldn't have gone out without his help. If it wasn't for him, Dabi wouldn't have a boyfriend. Shouto would've never got his girlfriend and boyfriend. Tomura wouldn't be improving on himself. He's still a dick but he's getting there."
"Gee thanks."
Shouta looked emotional though. That was a first time in a while he showed anything with his everlasting resting bitch face.
"I'll let him know," Toshinori said, "I'm sure he'll be glad to hear it."
The alpha nodded and drove off.
"He's upstairs taking a bath," the blonde omega said.
"Alright."
"I'll leave these by his door for you."
Tomura nodded and headed inside. The house smelled thick of Izuku's heat. For a moment, his heart felt heavy and his eyes started to water. Goddamnit all- he missed the scent, the smell of him. The closeness of the undetermined male. He really missed him.
He made his way upstairs and saw the bathroom door was cracked open. The smell of him was getting stronger. Tomura would never be able to describe the smell of him other than he smelled like home. Home.
His heart gave a weird thump and it felt like it was doing flips in his chest.
He gave the bathroom door a few knocks and went in. Izuku laid there with his head on the side of the tub covered in bubbles. His eyes opened up to look at Tomura. One eye was a his forest green and the other looked like a pale red, almost pinkish color. He gaped at Tomura for a moment before closing his eyes with a smile on his face.
Tomura's heart started pounding now seeing that smile.
"I must be hallucinating now."
"You aren't."
The freckles on Izuku's face almost seemed faded off thanks to the pinkness of his cheeks.
"I'm really here now."
His eyes opened back up to look at Tomura. He looked conflicted in a way but that smile didn't fade from his face.
"Did Dad call you?"
He nodded. A lump started to form in Izuku's throat.
"We need some ground rules," the omega said, "I need to know what you want and don't want. I don't want to over step in any way."
"I'm in heat aren't I?" he asked softly ignoring the question.
Tomura nodded, "I can smell it from the living room."
Tears fell from Izuku's eyes slowly.
"I'm sorry…. I didn't want this to happen," he cried.
"No, no! You have no reason to be sorry!" Tomura said his voice a little high and breaking up.
He knelt down by the tub. He took Izuku's face in his hands. He felt like he was on fire.
"You are too nice Izuku. I'm really sorry. I…. I don't want you to be scared. I'm going to be here all the way. No matter what happens."
"W-why would you do that after what I did? I just left you without telling you."
Tomura chewed on his bottom lip for a minute before smiling as a few tears rolled down his cheeks.
"Because I love you," he choked out, "I failed you every step of the way even when you went above and beyond for me….I can forgive you but I can't pretend I understand everything you're going through but Izuku, I'll do whatever it takes to make you happy. Just tell me what you need. Anything."
Izuku started bawling and threw his bubble and water covered arms around Tomura. The omega hugged him back just as tight. Toshinori peeked into the bathroom for a second to see them both crying. He smiled and crept away to his room.
He let out a relieved sigh.
At least something finally got fixed in all this mess.
