The next day Miss Bustier tried to summarize the Alpha, Beta, and Omega system as a class review. "Alphas have a tendency to be more aggressive, why?" she asked her students.
Three teens raised their hands Miss Bustier called on Kim. "Alphas like me tend to have ruts and that's when we take it out on stuff. Usually joining a sport can help get some of the built up frustration."
"Very well. What's the difference between a rut and heat?" Miss Bustier asked. Marinette slowly raised her hand. No one else dared to take this question since they didn't know much about heat unless it was in a book because neither an Alpha or a beta went through it.
"I'm still not sure what a rut is exactly but I've done more research on heat and it can last one to seven days. Usually, if the Omega is female it comes right after her cycle. It has to just take it's course. It can be triggered by anything." Marinette said as Alya added on about Alpha ruts.
"An Alpha rut is basically pent up sexual frustration. Omegas or bond partners can cause an Alpha to go into a rut. Alphas that haven't bonded suffered through it more frequently." Alya kept an eye on Marinette as Marinette was more embarrassed hearing about Alpha ruts then explaining what a heat was for her entire class.
She realized that she and Adrien would have done something that she was far from ready from. When they had time to work on their project, Chloe walked over mad that her 'Adrikins' was paired with ordinary Marinette. Chloe took Marinette's notebook a throw it not that far but just enough that Marinette would have to give up her spot next to Adrien to get it.
"Chloe! That was uncalled for." Adrien said wanting to get the notebook for Marinette but the rude blonde block his way. Adrien was going to add something but a distraction lurked in the corner of his eye. Marinette was bent down to get the book which had ended up underneath the next desk over.
"Adrien, see something you like?" Alya teased loud enough for Marinette to hear causing a loud thud with was the effect of Marinette hitting her head on the desk. Adrien shoved Chloe out of the way to attend to Marinette. "Are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Adrien quickly questioned.
"I think Chloe's ego is more bruised than my head." Marinette joked rubbing her head. "Are you sure?" Adrien said being over dramatic like a certain alley cat she knows. "What's so funny?" Adrien asked. "You remind me of a certain friend of mine. He's quite... Umm... dramatic."
"I'm not dramatic. I'm just overprotective and I have a right to be." Marinette smiled glad that there was a sliver of a chance that Adrien Agreste was going to see her more than a friend. Adrien then kindly kissed the top of her head in which hit the desk. "Sorry, but I was always told that kissing injuries helped them heal faster."
"You... I... You.. Adri..." Marinette stuttered. Alya and Nino started taking bets on what would happen later on in Marinette and Adrien's romantic lives. Nino bet that Adrien wouldn't bond unless threatened by another Alpha. Alya bet that Marinette's heat would unintentionally cause Adrien to bond with her.
