Midoriya's P.O.V.

"Izuku Midoriya, Eijiro Kirishima, you are wanted in the principal's office."

I looked down at my cereal. This can't be good. "You don't think it's for Todoroki K. Bakugo do you?" Tsu asked me. Oh, it's absolutely for that.

"It's been three days. They were probably waiting for Kirishima's heat to pass so they could properly talk to him." Iida stated.

"But Izuku wasn't even outside when Todoroki decked him, why would he even be called?"

"Because he's the problem child."

"Thanks Iida." I said, putting my bowl in the sink.

"There's no way you're gonna be in trouble, right? You didn't do anything!" Ochaco exclaimed.

I shrugged, "it's probably best not to speculate. I'll see you guys after." I said, bowing to them before walking towards the principal's office. As I did, Kirishima caught up to me. He was wearing long sleeves and a scarf wrapped around his neck. He didn't look sweaty or dazed like the last time I saw him, but I don't think he was fooling anyone with what that scarf was covering.

"Hey Kirishima, how are you feeling?" I was reluctant to ask.

"Much better now that my heat's over. Hey, I wanted to thank you. I don't remember much, I've been pretty out of it since the start but… Denki said you helped him patch me up. I really appreciate that." He said, moving his hand to the bandages on his neck. We tried to give him as much first aid as possible before Kacchan came back. Part of me is a little relieved he didn't come back at all.

"Oh, you're welcome Kirishima. Glad you're feeling better."

"Male omegas have to look out for each other, right? There's so few of us in the world." He smiled as we walked into the school. I wasn't really comfortable with that. I needed to know.

"Umm… Kirishima… why… why didn't you take your suppressants?" How did you end up in heat with Kacchan in the room? Why'd you let him do that to you? Did he knot you? Could you be pregnant with his child right now? All my questions made me start to feel really sick to my stomach.

He looked really embarrassed to answer, scratching the back of his head nervously. "Well umm… Bakugo asked me… not to." Even knowing the danger… that's all it took? Just him asking you? Maybe they're more involved than any of us realized.

"I didn't know you two were…"

"We weren't… not until that first night. It's so weird, it was like I had no control over my body. He asked me to do something and I just… did it. He started biting me, getting into some kind of alpha frenzy, and all I felt was his lust, I really didn't feel the pain until I was away from him… I… I don't know why I let him do that to me. It was like I was there but… I wasn't in control of my decisions… he was." His brows furrowed in confusion. That's… really scary. Trusting someone with that kind of control over your body, when they barely have control themselves. I love Todoroki… but I don't know if I'm ready to take that step yet. I put my hand on his shoulder and gave him a weak smile as we walked up to the Principal's office. Principal Nezu's secretary let us in and Mr. Aizawa, All Might, and Principal Nezu were in there all yelling at Todoroki and Kacchan. Todoroki looked angry, Kacchan looked even angrier, sporting the worst black eye I've ever seen. My boyfriend did that? Why? I'm not even sure what happened. Kacchan's been in the infirmary and Todoroki's been… detained ever since. Most of the class saw what happened, but I only heard it second hand from them. I haven't been able to talk to Todoroki about it at all. I don't know what would make him react to Kacchan like that. He's usually… not one to react emotionally. I mean he's highly emotional, but calculated. This didn't seem like him at all. I looked at All Might and his arms were crossed in a glare at me. He was… disappointed in me. What did I do?

"When we built the dorms they were not meant for knoodling between alpha and omega during their heats. They were meant so that we could protect you, we didn't think we'd have to protect you from each other." Principal Nezu said. Kirishima looked down, clearly disappointed in himself.

"Heroes are supposed to be able to look past their secondary genders, not let it affect them and be able to concentrate no matter what." All Might glared. "But you four seem to be letting it get the best of you."

"Normally we would expel Todoroki, and Bakugo, this being his second fight outside of class in a single semester…" Mr. Aizawa started, scratching his head. Expel him? No! "But… It seems the matter is a bit more complex being as there were unhindered alpha hormones involved." I looked at Kacchan and he just crossed his arms in anger.

"I thought that as two of the few male omega in your class and the fact that most of that class looks up to you, you would have shown better judgement. Be able to set an example for your peers. I'm a bit disappointed in your glaring disregard for your own hormone control." Principal Nezu stated. I rose my eyebrows in shock, is the principal… omega shaming us?

"That's not fair! I didn't let Kiri take those damn suppressants. It's not his fault." Kacchan said standing up.

"Whatever the reason, unhindered omega scents caused an alpha pissing contest which resulted in a fractured eye socket and broken hand." Wait what? Todoroki… he broke his hand punching Kacchan? I felt myself holding back a laugh, but also the urge to spin out and cry. I definitely don't like the thought of them fighting. I don't think…

"You two need to be more conscious of your scents, not only for your own protection but for others." We both nodded. We were absolutely being omega shamed right now. Yeah, it's important to be in control of our scents, but shouldn't alphas be in control of their actions too? I was absolutely shocked Principal Nezu was saying this to us. I thought UA wasn't supposed to be discriminatory.
"I think it's also pertinent that we add sex ed classes to the course schedule since you all are becoming sexually active." All? What? No… Todoroki and I never- "You need to know that your secondary genders do have effects on other types, as unequal as that is. Midoriya, Kirishima, when you have intercourse with Alphas, they become very protective, very possessive. You cannot go out in your heat unsuppressed, especially not after mating with an alpha. If you make to decision to spend your heat unsuppressed with an alpha, you must do just that, stay put. For the safety of everyone. Not only are unhindered heats dangerous for you as omega, but they put everyone else around you in trouble. I suppose we can't stop you from being sexually active and exploring, but we do hope you'll be safe about it." But I'm not having sex, I've never even had an unsuppressed heat. Do they think that I did?

"They're growing boys Principal Nezu, mistakes are bound to happen. And now they've learned from that right?" The four of us nodded under All Might's question.

"In addition to the sex ed classes, the four of you will have clean up duty morning and night to truly repent. And for the next week, house arrest, class, the cafeteria, and your rooms are the only places you are allowed to go. The four of you need to learn lessons in restraint and control. Dismissed." I moved to follow everyone out when All Might put his hand on my shoulder.

"Let's have some tea." We walked over to his office and he made some tea for us. He seemed… really angry at me, but I couldn't bring myself to speak first. "I didn't know you were sexually active young Midoriya."

"I'm not!" I blurted out. "I mean, Todoroki and I are dating and we kiss a lot. We cuddled during my last heat for a while… but I took my suppressant I swear!"

"His hormones were off the charts young Midoriya, like you had just mated."

"We hadn't, we haven't! I wouldn't lie to you All Might!"

All Might lowered his eyebrow, "Then he really must care for you. To be that revved up, his inner alpha must be incredibly strong."

"What were they fighting over?"

"You don't know?" All Might said in shock. I shook my head. He cracked a smile. "Well you are still an adolescent aren't you young Midoriya?" He chuckled, drinking his tea with a smile on his face. I wasn't all that sure what he meant by that.

"They… were fighting over how Kacchan treated Kirishima, weren't they?" Because Todoroki's mother is an omega, and omega in general are fairly rare. Only ten percent of the population, only three percent male. Our numbers here are only skewed because it's UA. The male omegas in my class are probably the only ones our age in all of Japan. Todoroki was just reacting to his treatment of him, wasn't he?

"I guess that may have been part of it… or how the argument started I suppose." What does that mean?

"But that's not what made Todoroki… punch Kacchan… is it All Might?"

"No." I felt myself swallow. I'm not sure I wanted to know the real reason. Or… admit it to myself. That would be absolutely crazy. Whole-heartedly insane. No, no that can't be it. "That's why we called you in. We thought you and Shoto had slept together, that you caused his alpha hormones a need to lash out. Bakguo was riled up, so was Todoroki, two teenaged alphas fueled by dominance hormones were bound to clash. At least that's what we thought."

"But it's something… more. Isn't it?"

"In light of this new information, I would say yes." I shook my head. I didn't want to think about it, I didn't want to know. That's between Kacchan and Todoroki.

"Thank you All Might."

"Kid."

"I should go. I'm… I'm suspended right?"

"You shouldn't be, not if it didn't involve you in the way we thought." No! No! I didn't want to even think about that! And Todoroki… he'd be kicked out if I didn't say I caused his spike in hormones. No… I can't let that happen.

"Please All Might, don't tell Principle Nezu, I'll take the punishment. Really."

He let out a sigh. "You need to be careful kid. I hope you know what you're doing." I gave him a reassuring nod, biting my lip a little. "Alright… Go on then."

"Thank you All Might." I bowed to him and left his office. My mind was reeling. If Kacchan and Todoroki weren't fighting about Kirishima… No, All Might's mistaken, that had to be what they were fighting about. But when had he ever been mistaken? But that would mean… that would mean that they were fighting about… no… it's just not possible. It can't be!

"Ooomph." All of a sudden, I was flat on my back, a little dazed as I gazed into my boyfriend's two-toned eyes.

"Midoriya! You ran right into me, are you okay?" He asked, offering me a hand up. I took it gratefully.

"Yeah, yeah I'm alright." I said brushing myself off. "What are you doing here?"

"I was waiting for you. I wanted to… apologize."

"Apologize? Apologize for what?"

He blinked at me, "For… allowing the principal to think that you in some way had something to do with me hitting Bakugo. For him omega shaming you. It wasn't right. You didn't deserve that."

Why did you hit him Todoroki? No Izuku, no! That is not a question you want to know the answer too. "It's… it's okay really. All Might was just sort of shocked by the news that I was… sexually active… that's all." I sort of mumbled, scratching the back of my head.

"I should have corrected him."

"No… you would have been in so much more trouble. It's okay, what you did, really." I reassured, but he just looked so hurt, like he was fighting with himself.

"I just… lost it when I saw what he did to Kirishima."

"I know."

He bit his lip. "I need you to know I would never do that to you. No matter… how much I wanted to." His last sentence was barely a whisper, I wasn't sure if I even heard it. I felt myself wrap my arms around his waist, pulling him close to me as I put my head on his chest.

"Shoto." I felt tears come to my eyes.

"Don't think for a second that I don't want you Izuku. I want you more than I even want to be a hero."

"Todoroki don't say that." He pulled my chin up to face him, his eyes held nothing but sincerity.

"I want to spend your every heat with you, I want to mark your beautiful skin, show everyone you're mine. I want to have sex with you… and rut you… But I respect you. And I want to go slow, build something with you, make love to you. You're not just some omega to me, you're everything to me Midoriya." He kissed me, gently and softly, yet passionately. I wanted him too. I felt like I belonged here, with him. Only him. I felt myself go on my tippy toes, breaking the kiss before burying my face into the scent gland on his neck and flaring my own. I… scented him. His grip on my hips tightened, and I felt like his entire body froze. I dropped down from my toes and looked him in the eyes. He was completely shocked.

"Are you trying to kill me?" He chuckled, clearly affected by my scent. He was… overwhelmed by my gesture. Almost pained by it.

"I want to be yours Todoroki. I want to go slow too, but that doesn't mean that we can't have fun along the way right?" I said with a smile, offering him my neck.

"Izuku."

"Just scent me Todoroki. We're not going to be seeing much of each other thanks to this punishment. I want to smell like you, feel you with me all the time."

"It's a type of claim Midoriya. A soft one. But are you sure you're really ready for that?"

"I've never been so sure." I gave him my neck once more. He smiled and offered a small kiss on my neck, flaring his own scent gland as he did. He scented me. I saw fireworks as he laid a small claim on me, telling the rest of the world I was his. And I wanted to be his, needed to be.

Bakugo's P.O.V.

"Katsuki, can we… can we talk?"

"Ain't got nothing to talk about E." I said getting an early start on my evening trash duties. He put his hand on my wrist and squeezed firmly.

"Bakugo it's serious." I looked up at him. He wasn't playing around.

"Alright, help me with this first, then we'll talk." I said, trying to whisper so our classmates who were now looking at us wouldn't overhear. He nodded, picking up the rest of the trash in the dorm with me and then we went outside. I could see our classmates looking out the window at us but at least they couldn't hear what we were saying now.

"What's up?"

"What's up? That's it? That's all I get?"

I shrugged. "You wanted to talk. So talk."

"Bakugo… you… you really hurt me. You know that right?" He said looking in my eyes. I looked away, I did not need that shame spiral right now.

"I thought you said you could take it, you said you wanted me to 'wreck' you."

He ran his hand through his hair, the conflict within him was easy to see. "I… didn't know what I was saying. You couldn't tell that I was out of it?" His eyes were fogged up and hazy the entire two days we spent together, I asked him to do something and he just… complied. No questions asked. Yeah, I knew that he wasn't really all there, but shit, neither was I.

"What do you want me to say Kirishima?" He looked down, tears coming to his eyes, but his fists were balled. Damn it, Icy Hot was right. "Look, I'm sorry alright? I was… overpowered by your scent. I just completely lost my mind, I went into rut… You have to know I didn't mean it."

"Bakugo look at me." I couldn't. He removed his scarf and his shirt… then he grabbed my face forcing me to look at him. "Look at me Bakugo. Really look, look what you did to me." He had bites and bruises everywhere. He was bleeding through his bandages. My handprints were burned into his skin. It was… terrifying how much control I lost on him. I really did feel tears come to my eyes. Quickly I wiped them away.

"You should go to Recovery Girl." I said as unemotionally as I could manage.

"I already did. She can't heal wounds inflicted by an alpha while he's in a rut." Shit. "I'm not going to be able to use my quirk until they heal. She said I'll be out for at least a week." I let out the breath I'd been holding, I felt like my whole body was shaking.

"I fucked up." He nodded, putting his shirt back on. He bit his lip, thinking about what to say next. The silence hung in the air for what felt like an eternity.

"Look I'm not mad, I'm just… hurt. I had no idea what being in that state was going to be like with an alpha, and I had no idea what you were going to be like either. We weren't ready Bakugo." He said pulling me into an embrace. I just let him. I couldn't fight it. He was shaking too.

"I'm so sorry." Don't cry Katsuki, pull it together.

"You absolutely cannot do this to Deku." I pulled away from him, digesting his words. "He'd never forgive you. He'd never be the same after." I blinked the tears away, looking away from him and to the ground. He was right, he was absolutely right. I'm a danger to him. I'm a danger to omega everywhere.

"I know." I said quietly, feeling my voice crack.

"We're okay right?"

"I don't know, are we?" I asked genuinely. He looked down, putting his hands in his pockets, kicking the dirt.

"You can't tell me not to take my suppressants ever again." He said firmly. I can't stand the way he smells on suppressants. It makes me want to gag, not fuck him.

"Yeah… okay."

"And I'm not sure if we should spend my heats together. At least for a little bit."

"Probably for the best." I muttered.

"Then… we're cool. We can keep… doing what we were doing."

"What?" I blurted out, not even thinking first.

"It was helping you right? I told you I could handle it, it if it keeps you away from… him. Then it works out for all of us, right?" After all that he's still okay with that? No way. I don't believe it.

"Yeah… yeah I guess." Why? Why Kirishima?

"You wanna know why huh? Why would I let myself continue to let you abuse me, even though it's clear you don't have feelings for me like that. That I'm nothing more than a friend to you and it'll never be more than that." I shrugged. Hell, he put it in words better than I ever could. He shrugged back. "It's cause you are my friend, hell my best friend. And I wanna see you happy. Maybe if I can… fix you for Deku then… it will all be worth it."

"Fix me?" I scoffed.

"Yeah fix you cause you're a damn mess." He chuckled, I laughed back as he ruffled my hair and put his arm around me.

"Fuck you E."

"Love you too Bakubro." He said as we walked together to the trashcans. "But seriously man. I think you could really be the one for Midoriya. I have faith in you, I do."

I rolled my eyes. Yeah like that would ever happen. "Shut up shitty hair."

"Come on, you never know right?"

"Whatever."
