Midoriya's P.O.V.
"Come on Deku, three more." I bit my lip, sweat rolling down my face. I'm not sure I had even one more in me. Ugh come on! I screamed inwardly at myself. I pushed the bar up one more time, but that's all I had, Kacchan had to save me. "Deku seriously? You're down ten pounds from even last week and still struggling." Thirty pounds from my max. This is bad, I feel like I'm losing muscle mass by the second. Sitting up on the bench press, I felt my pecs. They were soft. What's going on with me? Is it my quirk? Or something else?
"Hey Izuku, are you alright? We saw Katsuki have to save you right there, I was worried." Kirishima said with his classic happy toothy smile, Denki behind him.
"I'm okay, I'm just like… losing some strength or something. Ever since Osaka… It just hasn't been quite right." I said feeling me wrists, I felt so weak.
"It's probably hormonal. I know my hormones have been going crazy lately. I've had like four heats since we got back, it's been so weird."
"Four heats? We've only been back for two months. Kirishima that's serious."
"Naw, my heats were pretty irregular before I got on birth control. During final exams first year before training camp, I was in heat for like four weeks straight. It was rough man. But I should have seen something like this coming, I missed so many pills in Osaka, I just couldn't remember to take them we were so busy."
"Dude same! I missed more pills than I took!" Denki laughed, patting Kirishima on the shoulder. We were crazy busy in Osaka. I didn't miss many pills, maybe one or two, but it was really pretty hard to take them at the same time every day. I was pretty irregular with that. Maybe that's what's throwing my hormones all out of whack. But I've been good about taking them ever since!
"You know male omega hormones are really touchy. That's probably what's going on with you, too much estrogen." Kirishima put in. Kacchan got my attention by clicking his tongue in anger.
"Tch. Dumb omega stuff. You girls keep gabbing, I don't need to hear all that crap." He growled, picking up some dumbbells and heading across the weight room out of ear shot. Not that he could hear us anyway. No hearing aids again today.
"We're talking about really important stuff blasty!" Denki called but Kacchan most certainly didn't hear him.
"Anyways Deku, you should get a testosterone shot, they're legal for omega heroes now." Kirishima said, rubbing his hands over my shoulders.
"A testosterone shot? Dude, that's so dangerous." Denki covered his mouth in shock.
"No, it's not, it's totally safe! That's just an old wives tale. It's supposed to help male omega maintain their male hormones, instead of getting all soft every time their secondary gender hormones decide to go crazy."
"I wouldn't do it. I don't want to do anything that even has a remote chance of damaging my fertility." Denki said crossing his arms. Humm… I've never even thought about a testosterone shot. Or my fertility really… My hormones have always been fine… until now I guess. Maybe I should talk to All Might about it. How it may affect my quirk. I know he's an alpha, but even still, maybe he'd know… or at least have a thought about it.
"Would you do it Kirishima?" I asked looking over him as he started doing squats. Man he was lifting a lot of weight.
"If I had to, yeah, probably. But well, my quirk is testosterone based, and I produce a lot naturally. My doctor is actually pretty concerned my quirk will affect my fertility. I might only be able to get pregnant at peak fertility in heat, if I even can at all."
"Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that Kirishima. I didn't think that quirks could affect our secondary genders like that."
"Yeah, they totally can. And since your quirk is super strength, it might be playing games on you too."
"I never thought of it like that." I mean being born qurikless then being given One for All… I just didn't think the two were correlated. I should really ask All Might about all of this.
I continued talking to my friends and tried to get a decent workout in, but really I just had no strength left. I texted All Might and asked if he wanted to have some tea and talk about stuff. He said I could come by his office any time, so I decided I should take a shower back at the dorms, so I wasn't walking in there all sweaty. Walking back to the dorms, Kacchan caught up to me, wrapping his arm protectively around me. He's been super protective lately. It's actually a little nice, I'm getting a lot more affection from him these days. More kisses, even in public! It's almost like he wants be with me all the time. Usually, he makes excuses not to be around, and public displays of affection? Forget it! But ever since Osaka, it's like things have changed between us. In such a good way. And he umm… he well… he asked me to marry him. Sort of. He asked me if I would consider marrying him. He's… thinking about us like that? I don't know. It just makes me all giddy inside. The thought of being married to Kacchan. Ahh I can't even contain my excitement! So these extra squeezes, hanging out with him all the time, it just makes me even more excited for the future.
The two of us walked to the dorms together, his chin on top of my head, holding me close to him as we walked. It was so nice. Well, until Kacchan nearly got hit in the face by my classmates opening the door. Of course it was Todoroki, with Iida, Ochaco and Tsu behind him. The shocked look on his face told me he didn't mean to almost hit Kacchan on purpose.
"Hey guys." I said, trying to be nice before Kacchan had a chance to pick a fight.
"Oh hello Midoriya, Bakugo." Iida said bowing.
"What are you up to? We just finished working out." I said back kindly.
"We were about to go to a noodle restaurant and study." Tsu said, holding Ochaco's hand.
"Would you like to join us?" I was surprised, that actually came from Todoroki, a kind look in his eyes. It did sound nice, studying and having dinner with my friends, I haven't done that in a really long time it feels. I really wanted to go.
"He's busy. Come on Deku." Kacchan said into my hair, clutching me tighter than he was before. I felt my heart deflate but understood. I guess Kacchan wanted to hang out with me tonight…
"Oh… ummm maybe next time."
"Right… Next time." Ochaco said looking sad as they walked past us.
"I'll see you guys later! Have fun!" I called as they walked out of ear shot. Part of me… really did want to go with them. But… I mean I guess Todoroki was going to be there as well, I sort of could understand why Kacchan wouldn't want me to be in the same room with him. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out he wouldn't want me spending any length of time with my ex-boyfriend. Even if it was surrounded with my other friends as well. I just haven't hung out with them in what feels like ages! But… I have to respect Kacchan's feelings. Not that there is anything between us anymore. Todoroki isn't not not talking to me, so I suppose that's different. But he still avoids me when he can… doesn't make it a point to speak to me first, but it's not like he absolutely won't talk to me like he once did. Not of that seems to add up to much of a threat to Kacchan, but it's Important to protect my potential mate's feelings. My… mate. Kacchan. The giddy feeling returned as we walked inside. Kacchan walked me to his room, locked the door and quickly began kissing me. Taking my pants of in near record time.
"Wait Kacchan, I'm all sweaty! I wanted to shower and then go talk to All Might-"
"Do it tomorrow." He growled into my ear, one hand place protectively rubbing my stomach, the other wrapping around my growing erection.
"Kacchan, we had sex this morning, and last night."
"So?" He said pulling up my shirt a little more, continuing his ministrations.
"So we've had a lot of sex lately, and I sort of wanted to talk to All Might tonight, I already texted him."
"He'll understand." He said pushing me onto the bed and taking his pants and shirt off before getting on top of me. He started biting my nipples, grinding himself against me as he did. I was so sensitive, it felt so good! I was having a hard time saying no.
"Mmmm… you sure want me a lot lately." I mused, wrapping my legs around him, pulling him close and into a kiss.
"Do you blame me? You smell so damn good. I couldn't resist you if I wanted to. And I sure as hell don't want to."
"I smell the same as always, and I'm sweaty and gross at the moment."
"Nah, Deku, you smell like heaven. You don't even understand what it's doing to me." He said, tugging on his dick a bit, then trying to spread my legs wider. My body certainly wanted Kacchan, slickening up for him as if on command.
"I don't know what you're talking about. I- mmm, yes." I chuckled into his lips, then gasping as he entered me forcefully.
"I can't get enough. I think I'm addicted. I want this for the rest of my life." He breathed into my mouth. The rest of his life? Was he really saying that? Before I could analyze it further, Kacchan just started slamming into me. It felt so good my toes curled and I lost my train of thought. I guess… I guess I'll go see All Might tomorrow. I don't think there's any stopping Kacchan's love making tonight.
Todoroki's P.O.V.
"Knock, Knock, hey Shoto." Nejire said knocking on the door to the freezer then coming in. "Nice work today. Those were Pro level moves out there."
"Thank you." I replied, rubbing my wrist. Hado is a hell of a hero, it was an honor to work by her side today.
"Your dad wants me to take you to dinner, some kind of a celebration or something." She said as I realized she was in her street clothes, adjusting the scarf around her neck and kicking her boots as she leaned against the wall.
"I'll have to pass, I have a test later this week that I'd like to start studying for."
"He gave me his credit card. We could run the bill up really high just to piss him off." She chuckled, holding up the card. That did cause my ears to perk up. She certainly knew exactly how to convince me.
"Well I guess I could go for something to eat."
She smiled, "Change into your streets, I'll be waiting in the car downstairs."
"Right." I went to my locker and changed into my black turtleneck, a sports coat, and some jeans. Spending my father's money just to anger him did seem nice at the moment. After the day I've had… a steak would be nice as well. I met Nejire downstairs, got in the car and we rode to a fancy restaurant. The hostess seated us, we got some bread and appetizers and apparently a bottle of wine. No one cares about underage drinking when you're a promising hero I suppose. It was quite good however and cost my father a mint as well. I had a lot on my mind, so conversation was especially difficult for me. Nejire seemed quiet as well. Not her usual talkative self. Maybe she's hurt or sick-
"What's on your mind Shoto?" She asked kindly and unusually intuitive for her. She's usually inquisitive yet not very observant, this question wasn't exactly typical of her.
"Just things at school." I said looking down, cutting my steak.
"Try me." Well… she is an omega…. And she is open to listening. Maybe I did have a comrade in all of this.
"I've… sort of been thinking a lot about Midoriya lately."
"Your ex, the problem child. He's dating that blasty kid now right?"
"Yeah." I said looking down softly.
"So what's been going on?" She asked, taking a bite of her fish, clearly very interested.
"He's been acting differently. You remember Uravity? She brought it to my attention that his new relationship is very different from the one I had with him. Very traditional alpha/omega. Bakugo… he's very possessive. And I worry Midoriya might be trapped in an abusive relationship without even knowing it."
"Heroes, always meddling where they don't belong. All Might said that to me once. Do you see clear signs of abuse, bruises, marks, wounds?"
"It's hard to say, I haven't been able to able to get close to him. But I'm sure I'd be the last person to be able to regardless. But he's isolated himself from his friends, always covered up, Bakguo is always nearby."
"Left Hawks to train with Edgeshot, wears a collar." She finished for me. Yeah, he did leave Hawk's agency to train with Edgeshot after they came back from Osaka. I thought it was so he could be more well-rounded but it's the same agency Bakugo is under. Is it a strategic career move, or Katsuki being possessive?
"Yes."
"Well he does seem to be in a controlling relationship… I'm not sure if it has gone to the point of abuse yet."
"Neither am I."
"Anything else?" There is the thing that's bothering me the most.
"Well… his scent has changed."
"Really?" She asked, becoming more interested, scooting in further.
I nodded, "It has warmer notes than it used to. A sweetness feel to it now, almost… milk and tea like." Her eyes widened and I didn't know why. "What?"
"Oh you dumb alphas don't know anything. When an omega's scent changed like that, it can only mean one thing."
"And what is that?"
"Shoto… he's probably pregnant." My brain stopped working for a second. No… not Midoriya. We're only seventeen. He has his whole life ahead of him, to be a great hero. Not Midoriya.
"He took that pill religiously when the two of us were together, he wants to be a hero more than anything. He wouldn't just-"
"From everything you say, how possessive his alpha is… you want to permanently lock someone down… you get them pregnant right?" I didn't want to acknowledge it, because I didn't want it to be true. For Katsuki to do something like that, to take away Izuku's future… Bakugo is a lot of things, but to be that type of alpha… I didn't want to believe it.
"Maybe we should change the subject." I said, going back to my dinner. She looked down at hers, becoming quiet. Hado is never quiet. She was acting very unusual for herself today. After a few moments of silence, she finally spoke up again.
"It's obvious you still care deeply for him."
I took a sip of wine. "I… suppose it is… obvious."
"Do you think it exists? Love I mean. Do you think it actually is possible?" I pondered her question, really considered it. Maybe there was a positive message to be said, but instead I answered honestly.
"My own experience says no. Growing up, the example of love I had… it was nothing but an arrangement. My mother was trapped in an abusive loveless marriage. I believe she feels love for me, similarly I believe I feel a love for her despite everything. But the love you're talking about, romantic love…" I thought I was in love with Midoriya, felt it deep within myself to the best of my ability. I could have been in love. But as for Midoriya, as far as reciprocation goes… I want to believe he cared for me, I want to believe he might have loved me but… maybe the temptation of Bakugo, my own short comings… "I'm not sure I have any idea what love even is Nejire, I'm sorry."
She looked down, was that… a tear running down her cheek. I've been… making many omega cry lately. It made me feel terrible. "I just… I want to be in love Shoto. To have that whirlwind romance everyone dreams of." She finally said looking at me, her eyes watering and spilling over.
"I'm certain you can, you're still young." Still pure. "Any alpha should be honored to be your mate. I'm certain, you just have to find the right one."
She continued to cry softly, blotting her eyes on her napkin. "You're a good alpha Shoto." She put her hand to my cheek, stroking my scar lightly. "Honorable. Caring. So unlike your father." That last sentence, it hit me deeply. I had no interest in being anything like my father, but her words, why did she say them? What did I do specifically that was unlike him? "Please excuse me, I'll be right back." She said getting up and heading to the bathroom leaving me alone. Did I do something wrong? Why did she suddenly break down like that? Clearly I was missing something but I had no idea what. I spent her time in the bathroom trying to figure that out, but when she returned, she was back to her normal cheery self. It was so strange. We ordered dessert, made light conversation the entire time before the driver took us home. Her apartment was on the way to UA so the driver took us there first.
"Walk me to my door?" She asked when we arrived at her flat.
"Sure." What kind of gentleman would I be if I didn't? We walked up and when we got to the door, she played with her keys. She looked sad, near tears. I wonder what was going on in her head. "Are you alright Hado?"
Her sad eyes looked up at me as she clutched her keys. "No, I'm really not." I stepped closer to her, unsure of what to do next. "I just… Thought my life would turn out differently. That I'd have a chance to fall in love."
"I… I don't understand."
"Seeing Mirio and Tamaki so in love, I wanted that so badly, but I'll never get my chance."
"Nejire." I've never seen her like this. So deeply saddened. What do I do? How do I fix this?
"Your father… has different plans for us." She put her keys in the door and then began to unwrap her scarf.
"My father- what do you mean?"
"I'm sorry Shoto!" She cried, pulling me down into the crux of her neck. I struggled against her, but she and I both knew it wouldn't last long. Not after I breathed in her scent. Omega. My fangs came out. I lost all control. Unhindered, unsuppressed, pure virgin Omega. In heat. "I'm so sorry Shoto." That's the last thing I truly remember as I began to rip off her clothes and she took me inside, leaping into my arms. The following memories were a frenzied tizzy of hormones and instinct. I took her. My body didn't give me a choice. She had no suppressants, I had never smelled a scent so pure. The Alpha inside me gave little resistance to her alluring omega. That was it. The night my life would be changed forever.
