The moment that her packmates were gone, Ichigo wasted no time at all in flopping down on the couch and adjusting her body so that she was facing her Angel. And offered him a dazzling smile.

"Alone at last."

He chuckled at her despite being worried that his impromptu visit might have caused a little bit of a tiff between the packmates just now.

"Yes. It would seem so." He finally said before then asking, "Are you alright?"

She waved his question off as she replied. "I'm fine. I'll sleep in a little while."

"I can leave- You know, if you need me too."

"I don't." She said firmly.

He hesitated for a moment before sighing and saying. "Alright. But if I stay too long... I won't be bothered if you kick me out." He started to tell her to toss him out of the house if she needed to, but even he knew that he wouldn't be there for that long.

The offer, while unnecessary, was appreciated by her. He could tell by the fond expression on her face when she looked at him as he picked up the plate of snacks and offered her some since she likely needed the food more than he did at the moment.

"I'm alright, Angel. Really." She said as she gently pushed the plate back towards him. "Chad will swing by later to make sure that I eat something and sleep."

"That's good to know. But humor me anyways," He said as he pushed the plate of snacks back towards her again. "Please, at least eat something small. For me?"

He didn't realize that he was using what miniscule bit of omega wiles he possessed to get her to do as he wanted. And she really didn't argue any further as she reached over and grabbed a couple of small sandwiches and a few cookies and left the rest for him as she started eating.

He beamed at her, feeling an odd sense of pride in himself as she munched on the small amount of food. His chest felt warm and fuzzy and he got the weirdly overwhelming impulse to purr in contentment.

Which was something that he never did. Ever. Still, the impulse was there.

However he took a moment to shove it down as she finally asked, "So...I've been meaning to ask what brought you here? Is everything okay?"

Taking a moment to sort out his reasons for coming to see her, he decided to get right down to the heart of the matter. "I..uh...I-I was searching for an alpha." She raised a brow at him but didn't speak as he awkwardly plowed on. "F-For a mate. A-And I really wanted to see you again and a-ask-"

She stopped munching on her food and blushed a little bit. Which was just fucking adorable. He'd never honest to god seen an alpha blush before. But it was such a cute and fetching look on her. And he really liked how it made her look to him. He made a mental note to make her blush often.

She set her food aside and took a moment to wipe her hands on her pants leg as she leaned forward a little bit and reached out took one of his hands in her own and ran her thumb along his knuckles in a calming manner.

"Take your time and speak clearly Angel."

He took another moment to collect himself a bit since he'd been...well on the verge of panicking, really. He wasn't all that sure that he was doing this right. Or if he should even be doing it at all.

Sure, he knew that he was attracted to her. He didn't turn into a dirty, gutter minded old man for just anyone. He rarely noticed if he was attracted to people to begin with. But the pull to be near her... To see her, touch her- it was so damned strong that it was overwhelming to him sometimes.

That was part of the reason why he was here to begin with.

That damned pull was both driving him crazy and to distraction. And he didn't need that right now. Not when he was supposed to be searching for a mate.

Still, he couldn't help but think that his visit here today was fate trying to lend him a little bit of hand in his mate search. And Miss Kurosaki did seem to understand specific things and not care all that much about gender roles. Perhaps she was the alpha that he'd been searching for?

Finally he took one last deep calming breath and then tried again. "I'm an omega," The second that he said the words he wanted to flinch. He hated that damned word so much right now that it was a wonder that he could see straight from it. "However despite being an omega- I have the mind, body, build and reproductive organs of an alpha. Which is a sort of a..."

"Birth defect." She supplied helpfully.

He swallowed in an attempt to get his mouth to be less dry. But it wasn't working very well. He felt like he had cotton stuffed in his mouth at the moment because he was so nervous. After all, knowing this information could determine whether or not she was the 'one'. If she didn't reject him because of it.

And that was sort of the crux of things. He worried that she would reject him for being different.

"Yes. Basically." He said after a few heartbeats or so. "And on top of that, as well as who I am. I seem to be in a bit of a jam with the government."

"I know," He looked at her wide eyed, slightly startled that she knew anything without being told as she went on to say. "I saw the trial on TV. I know what the government is attempting to do to you." And then tacked on a dark sounding, "It's disgusting. Especially given what you've sacrificed."

"T-Then you know who I am?" He stammered out, uncertain about how to feel about her knowing that he used to be the Pro-hero, All Might. Especially since he was stuck in his ghastly, weak body now. And couldn't dazzle her with his other form.

"I do," She said, and then spoke his name. And not just his hero name either. "Toshinori Yagi."

Because apparently that information had been given out on live television too. And with so little regard to his private life, safety, and over all wellbeing. Wonderful. He thought darkly as he ran his fingers through his messy blond hair.

"If you know who I am, and you saw the trial... Then you know the precarious position that I'm currently in. And know why I also need to find an alpha, as I mentioned before."

"I do." She confirmed.

He somehow got the feeling that her understanding of what he was going through went much deeper than even he was currently aware of. But even so, he didn't ask her about it since he didn't want to be nosy.

"That being said, it's nearly impossible to find an alpha who would understand about my...biology. And not punish or hurt me for it."

She nodded her head since she was still following him pretty well. After all, even she knew how badly a lot of alpha's treated omegas. So his concerns were more than valid.

"Because I have the reproductive organs of an Alpha, I have no way of having children. And even if I did, my deteriorating health would kill not just me, but the baby."

"I'm still following you Angel." She assured him. "Just tell me what you need."

"I need an alpha that will understand that I'm dominant. That there isn't a submissive thing about me. That I can sire children, but not birth them. And more importantly, to be able to- to let me be myself. I don't want to quit my job and stay chained to the bedroom. I do not want to be subjected to the traditions that we've had forced upon us since our birth. I-I need...you. I-If you'll have me."

He hesitated to speak the last few words because he worried that she would reject him. But now that he'd gotten the words out and he was looking at her, he could see the change in her eyes. The blue bleeding to a glowing violet that was unmistakably something that alpha's did when they were angry, enraged, or sometimes even deep feelings of arousal and lust.

She didn't look angry or enraged to him. She didn't even smell angry or enraged. But she didn't seem all that aroused and lustful either. So he had no idea what was going through her head right then.

Her face was curiously blank.

Finally she got up from the couch, held up a finger and left the room for a moment and upon her return he noticed that she was carrying an old, antique style wooden box in her hands.

She walked over to him and held the box out to him. His hands shook a little bit as he realized what was in the box. A collar. She had gone and gotten a collar that many people gifted to their chosen omega's to show that they belonged to them when they were without a mating bite.

He took a moment to steady his nerves as she got on her knees on the floor in front of him. Which literally placed her between his legs. A curious place to be when she would have to be the one to put the collar on him, but he didn't comment on it as he slowly opened the box and blinked at the lovely choker style collar in it.

Honestly he'd never seen anything so breathtaking before aside from the woman herself.

The collar was made of metal from what he could see. And had decorative sapphires and pearls embedded in little spirals and flowers all over the front of it, to make it look like a flowering vine.

There was just one thing that struck him as odd about it. It was much too small for him. However before he could say anything about the size, she stopped him with a softly spoken.

"Pick it up Angel."

He did as he was told and once he had it in his hands, he noticed that she had lifted her hair up away from her neck. "Alpha?" The word slipped out of him before he could stop it.

"I've never collared an omega before," She said as she looked him in the eye. "And I'm not going to start now. You're Toshinori Yagi. The man who was once the Pillar of Peace. World renowned and respected hero. You're adored by millions all over the world. And I will not put a collar on you unless you tell me it's what you want. Now put the collar on me and show the world that you still have the power to put someone on their knees."

His eyes widened at the last few words and his heart began to beat faster as he realized why she wouldn't collar him. It wasn't just that she had never collared someone before. It was because this was her way of showing that her omega was an equal to her in all things.

She was giving him a type of power over her that others would kill to have.

And as he put the collar around her throat, he couldn't help but think that maybe coming here today was the best decision he'd ever made.
