MIDORIYA
"Mirio," I say surprised opening the front door. If I didn't let him inside he would be very alarmed. I noticed the bag of food in his hand looking down.
"Yeah!" he grins walking into the apartment. "I figured I would….why does it smell like sex in here?" I can see his eyes narrow as he looks around with the scent of his aggression rising.
"It's not sex," I replied. I was going to and damn if I say I was going to let Todoroki bond me, I barely know him. I don't understand what's happening but I know it seems my omega has chosen Todoroki's alpha in some kind of way. Mirio is still sniffing out the air.
"You have another alpha here?" he asks calmly. I can tell he is upset but trying to not let it show. He walks closer to me and I back away as he continues to come to step towards me. He reaches out quickly grabbing my arm to keep me from moving. His eyes widen and I think he knows why I tried to move away from him. "His scent is all over you, what the hell is going on?" Todoroki appears from the hall completely dressed, hair neatly combed, and I'm happy that his lust and desire scent is gone.
"Mirio," says Todoroki with his hands in his coat pockets.
"Todoroki," he says in surprise letting me go. "How the fuck are you?" Mirio begins to grin.
"I'm good," he replied walking into the room. "I had to drop some things off for Midoriya."
"Okay," he replies. He sends out waves of protectiveness. "You scenting my friend here?"
"Not on purpose," says Todoroki with a straight face. Mirio is studying him as if he doesn't believe him. Mirio is very smart and probably knows there is more to the story.
"Well I would appreciate it if you didn't scent him," says Mirio calmly. "I take care of all his needs." I blush hearing Mirio say it in that way. I look at Todoroki surprised he doesn't submit to Mirio because his tone was certainly threatening.
"I understand," he says. He walks past me with my omega screaming, wondering what is happening, where is he going. Even though there is an alpha right here in front of me it doesn't want this alpha, it wants Todoroki. Mirio closes the door behind him but doesn't turn to face me. A low growl releases into the room.
"Would you mind going to take a shower?" asked Mirio still looking at the door. "It took everything in me not to fight him just now." I get scared a little because I have seen Mirio lose his temper to his emotions with him being a strong alpha it can be pretty nasty. He usually has good control but all have a slip a time or two. "I would never hurt you so please don't be afraid." I just nod walking away not wanting him to snap. The sadness creeps in as I walk into the bathroom turning on the shower. I'm glad Mirio is still in the kitchen because if he sensed that it could make things worse. I take a shower quickly but Todoroki scent is still there lightly because he rubbed it in so good. I wonder how much of my scent lingers on his skin. I get dressed in some new clothes and head to the table to join Mirio.
"How is your day so far?" I asked.
"It was fine until I get here and I smelled mating," says Mirio sounding very much upset.
"I wasn't mating!" I exclaim. "You would know if I was lying."
"That is so weird…." says Mirio looking around the apartment. "I don't understand why it would smell like mating that strongly." He bites into his burger before looking at me. "Are you aroused right now?" What the fuck?
"I think you would know the answer to that too," I state sitting down grabbing me food. I was aroused until he showed up. I sigh inwardly knowing that I could have been bonded to Todoroki right now.
"True," he states. I realized that Mirio opened the balcony doors letting the scent out. I wanted Todoroki scent to stay here…I didn't realize how much until this moment. I just go to eating my food feeling more confused than I ever have in my life. Mirio ends up getting back to feeling like himself and starts to tell me about his morning. I'm honestly having a hard time listening to him. We finally wrap things up so he can head back to the office. I walk with Mirio to the front door.
"Thanks for bringing me lunch," I smile at him. "This was really thoughtful."
"It's no biggie," grins Mirio. He looks at me with a serious expression. "Do you mind if I scent you?" I raise my eyebrow in shock. He has never asked to do this before. I can see he feels the need to do this. I nod my head yes. Mirio smiles as he grabs my wrist putting it up to his neck. He looks me in my eyes as he rubs my wrist against his scent gland. I look away feeling just a little uncomfortable. Once he is done with scenting my wrist he leans in closely doing my neck growling very aggressively. I pat his back to let him know everything is okay, well sort of. "Thank you," He pulls away. "Time to get back to it, you get back to studying."
"Right," I smile as he walks out the door. I close the door locking it. I immediately go and close my balcony door. I still don't want Todoroki scent completely gone. I run my hands through my hair heading into my room. Relief covers my body as I can smell Todoroki but my omega still aches for him all the same. Mirio scent has never bothered me in the past but I almost feel the need to scrub off my skin but I won't. I look at my desk in the corner with my books, journal containing my school notes opened. Lacking the will to focus on schoolwork I walk over to the bag that is sitting on the chair. It contains my clothes that Todoroki had returned to me. I lift them out the bag smelling him immediately, what's this. How did I miss this before? Furthermore, what made him scent my clothes? I hold my pants up to my nose and know he scented my clothes because it shouldn't be this strong. I grab my briefs and blush when I realized he scented these as well. For some strange reason, I can't even find it in me to be upset about this. I sit down on my bed inhaling his scent feeling like I'm slowly losing my mind.
TWO WEEKS LATER
I'm at my locker getting ready to head home for the day. I'm thinking of going to grab a bite to eat or something. Today was rough, I'm glad that I don't have classes tonight. I actually took a shower in the locker room and I never do that. I prefer to wash up at home but I don't want to be eating dinner smelling like a bunch of strangers. I'm putting on my shoes when Tamaki walks up to me. He still wears his hair in his face. He said it helps keep him relaxed. Don't know how true that is.
"Hey," he says lowly. I look up because he rarely comes up to me first. Nothing personal, it is just how he is.
"Hey," I say keeping the surprise out of my voice. "I hope your day was better than mine."
"It was the usual," he replies looking down at me. "I was hoping we could talk."
"Um okay," I replied.
"Not here," he says. "It's a private conversation."
"Alright," I reply sensing his nervousness. I get bundled up and we both exit the locker room. "Must be important."
"Kind of…," he replies as we reach the exit of the building. He wraps a scarf around his neck. "I wonder if we're going to get snow soon?"
"Probably….." I replied looking up at the sky. "It's cold enough. I'm about to go to a ramen house if you want to join me?"
"No thanks," he replied. We walk over to his car. I don't have one of my own yet but soon I hope. "I wanted to talk about Mirio."
"Is he okay?" I ask concerned.
"No," he replies. "You haven't known him as long as I have and he is not okay." His tone sounds disturbed, his usually plain face is showing how much this upsets him. I can scent that he is agitated with me but I'm not yet clear on the reason.
"He seems fine to me," I replied. "I have been talking to him every day. "What's wrong?"
"I think he wants to bond you," he states bluntly. I don't even know what to say. I'm just stunned and staring at him. I wasn't ready for him to say that.
"H-How do you even know that?" I stammer.
"I told you already," he states. "I have known him longer. Haven't you noticed any changes in him? I have."
"Just that he wants to scent me more," I reply. "And he wants me to stay at his apartment more often."
"And that was not a red flag to you?" asked Tamaki folding his arms.
"He's an alpha," I replied. "I just thought he was being protective of me…..."
"Midoriya, you're a fierce hero," Tamaki states. "You don't need protecting." I think back to a couple of weeks ago and yeah I did need protecting. Sometimes even the good guys need protecting. "What's wrong?" I realized he scented my fear slightly remembering that night.
"N-nothing," I say quickly. "Why are you telling me this?"
"I want you to let Mirio know if you're willing to bond to him," says Tamaki. "I'm not trying to tell you what to do but I would rather you let him know so he can stop focusing on it." Mirio and I aren't even dating. I sigh feeling conflicted for Mirio. I really didn't want this to happen. I can't believe I was an idiot to not see this coming.
"I will talk to him," I replied. "Thanks for letting me know." Tamaki nods happily that I agree to speak with Mirio. "I will see you tomorrow."
"Yeah, yeah," he says getting into his car. I begin to walk to the ramen shop more than ready for dinner. I'm thinking of when would be a good time to talk to Mirio. I'm not good at this kind of stuff. I need to stay focused on my career above anything else and being bonded is not good. Maybe I was having a moment of omega weakness with Todoroki. That is the only thing that makes me feel guilty and feel like shit. I was so ready to bond with him and I barely know him just only the information I can find online.
I walk into the ramen shop hoping to have some issues resolved in my mind before the end of dinner. The scent that I wear every night to bed, hell I even dream about begins to fill my nose. I bite back a moan as I smell Todoroki soon as I step into the door. I'm looking around for him wanting to see him, I need to see him. Our eyes meet at the same time as if he was looking for me. It feels like my scent increases just at the sight of him, his scent gets strong too. My feet guide me over to his table. Todoroki is blushing like crazy and I'm sure I'm doing the same. We both try talking but end up speaking at the same time.
