"Don't Izumi. Not now. " Suga tried to duck away from the taller male's attempt to scent. The captain of the basketball team only kept Suga firmly in place against the wall of the empty corridor. The shorter boy's face pinched his hands coming up to push firmly at the taller boy's chest. "I said don't Izumi. Not here. Someone may see."
"Just stand there, you reek like that little bastard, he's barely off his mother's-"?
"Izumi!" Suga snapped, cutting short the vulgar comment aimed at Kageyama. This earned him a growl from the basketball team's tall captain.
"There's no one around. It's fine. And who the fuck do you think you are telling me No! " The alpha snapped his sharp teeth too close to Suga's unprotected neck.
Suga, refused to flinch but a small whine escaped him. Dammit! He was so weak! Useless! He deserved to be treated like this. He always made his boyfriend angry. Especially now.
"That little brat is still in there. I'm sure he won't leave that kid's side. By how he's coated that room with his scent he won't be popping his head out anytime soon. Not for some nagging bitch like you. Not when he's got such a helpless unconscious-"
Suga struggled again his legs were pinned against the cold wall his wrists cruelly brought up above his head
"Hurts-you're hurting me." The omega cringed, trying to withhold the wimper burning the back of his throat.
Suga felt his heart breaking, this was the truth of it. He had tried to convince himself far too long. They were not compatible, how could he have ever think that he was worth being loved. Suga knew this, why did he even hope Izumi could overlook all his faults. Could accept that he was anything but beautiful, or smart. Baka Koushi. The fears he had were now in display as the Alpha ignored his pain and the fear starting to circle the two.
Weak. So weak. You make everything worse. Control yourself Sugawara. Suga tried to bring himself to heel, he needed to be calm. Izumi hated how manipulative Suga's scent could be when he was afraid or upset. The Alpha growl deep in his chest, in response to Suga's scent and again Koshi closed his eyes, he needed to be calm but his breaking heart pounded in his chest, every crack and broken shard so sharp and painful. His wrists were held higher and he barely stood at the tips of his toes holding back tears.
"Why would the alpha or anyone for that matter want you? That guy in there's lucky when he's got the target of his affections in front of him and all alone. Little fucker. He made you stink! They all do. You reek of alpha! You smell like adolescent- "
"I said stop. What will it look like if I suddenly go back smelling like you? You are the one who laid these ground 'rules' . " Suga bit his bottom lip, hating how he sounded, he wasn't jealous, okay. Yes he was. And he was also very hurt, physically and mentally. The ugly truth was he knew he would definitely be bruised in the very least before this confrontation was over, but his heart would be shattered beyond hope.
Why was he so insecure and saddened by the fact his boyfriend didn't want people to know they were a couple? Why did it hurt to be denied the things that every other couple were allowed, the simple things like holding hands in public or even eating lunch together. He should be used to the idea of alone.
His own parents didn't want him, after all they had left their omega son with his Beta grandmother. And once again he was some secret that the one he loved or at least thought he loved, kept a secret hidden away. Izumi didn't want to lose popularity points if anyone found out his fiance was on the volleyball team.
The vice captain new that Izumi's fan club would cry or worse turn on Suga if they found out they were dating. Even in childhood he would avoid Suga on the playground but after come over and play in the back garden of Suga's small home.
Suga squirmed his hands released as the alpha kissed Suga's neck sucking gently around the omega's scent gland. This feeling was unwelcome, it was too late for them. The Omega was rejecting the tall Alpha, even his body responded to what his heart had decided.
" Koshi. I'll talk to my khoui. Yeah?" The taller boy's brown eyes probed the omega, his warm hand cupping Suga's chin gently so their eyes would meet. Suga resisted the urge to lean into Izumi's body, or allow the dry lips to press against his soft ones.
Those smug kisses would dominate and want compliance. His wrist throbbed as a reminder of the earlier abuse. When he didn't move to kiss the Alpha the hold on his chin became biting, and Izumi's eyes darkened. " But come on Suga you knew this would happen right?The bald dean just doesn't get it yet. Omegas don't have business on the Alpha sports team. It's an unfair disadvantage or rather advantage depending on heat cycles."
"Don't be disgusting." Suga fought to turn his head away, eyes blinking back the stinging from the almost snarled words. When had it become like this? How could someone change so much?
"Omegas should stick to their own teams. Right? You agree don't you-I thought we were like minded." his boyfriend kept his face forward, leaning into Suga who had himself pressed into the wall, he tried not to look into the brown eyes of the taller boy. The volleyball vice captain held his breath not wishing to be tempted by the familiar scent of his boyfriend. They had been friends for so long and Suga had always felt so comfortable in his Alpha's strong arms. Safe. after one of their many disagreements, the kind that had Suga hiding his arms with long sleeves, changing after everyone else had left the locker room. Somehow these last months there was a distance growing between the alpa omega couple and the whispered apologies from his Alpha were less and less even after the bruises became more and more. Sugawara had to be strong, he knew it was cowardice to hold an alpha to him that didn't truly want him.
It wouldn't be fair, they both deserved something better. Still this disconnect would hurt, at least they hadn't bonded yet or worse bonded with children.
The fact that no one knew they were together wasn't an issue as long as Suga knew where he stood with Iwao-kun. Of late though just where he stood was more and more unclear and Suga wasn't so ignorant of the other Omegas his boyfriend spent his lunch with or sometimes study sessions.(Doing more than studying.) Again it didn't matter as long as he (Suga) knew just where he ranked in importance to his boyfriend. He could forgive anything, almost anything. No. Not anymore. He couldn't fool himself any longer.
The heated mouth that descended wasn't kind, it was meant to gain compliance, the aggression caught Suga off guard. The Alpha's large hands squeezed the Omega's upper arms in a warning, while the sharp teeth nipped harshly at the setters already abused bottom lip.
Suga turned his head and pushed and squirmed free from the sudden unwelcomed scent and hold. He hissed irritably, his legs trembling, he hated himself. Hated His secondary gender. The shorter boy hissed and growled at the Alpha who returned it with a deeper warning growl. Causing an uncontrolled whine to creep through Suga's clenched teeth once more.
"Don't do that. I hate it when you try to gain compliance like I'm nothing but a pet you wish to lead around by the collar. And as for your answer," Suga wiped the back of his hand at his swollen lips glaring at the taller boy. " We deserve to play. And you don't even believe we should play sports, or go to the same school for that much. I don't love you Iwoa Izumi. " Suga loathed how his hands and legs trembled under the scowling alpha's heated glare.
" I never said school, Suga now you're being ridiculous. You are always like this when you think to yourself. You always get it WRONG. If you'd only use that supposed intelligence for something other than useless numbers and figures. "
"I'm wrong? Then what were your words 'Stay in the bleachers and cheer loudly. Look pretty shaking our asses. If anything distract the other team.' Where we can't get hurt."
"Suga don't bring us into this. I said I would handle that brat that growled at you and scared your little underclassman. "
"What do you mean us ? Izumi. You've always kept US a secret. You're too embarrassed to tell your knotthead friends that you're dating an omega volleyball player. Just admit it. "
Suga didn't know why today's experience with Daichi played in his head so suddenly. The way the Captain had introduced him proudly to his group of Alpha friends as his right hand man and teammate. When his friends stumbled over what to say or how to act Daichi had growled shooing them off if they couldn't act like normal people around his teammate then they could go the hell away.
Daichi clearly wasn't happy with having Omegas disrupt the status quo of the team, however he wasn't above praising skill when he saw it. He was trying, which was more than Izumi had ever done. Hell the asshole hadn't even introduced him as anything more as a tutor when or if the alpha's friends had come upon the two outside of school.
"It's so selfish of you Suga. You embarrass me. Think for once how I feel! It was unacceptable you playing for the Omega team but now you mingle and sweat with Alphas. It's disgusting! Vulgar. But i still allowed it. It's enough my family has accepted that you are my decision for a future bondmate However, I have an image to protect as the firstborn of my family, as the Captain of the basketball team. A winning team let me remind you, unlike the joke of a team you've been willingly grouped with. Get it through your head! You are the one breaking a promise you swore last year was your last year. There are countless Omegas throwing themselves at me! And I push them all away because I love you. Why can't you be a little less selfish in this relationship and respect my opinion. Don't you love me? I love you. Only you. But you just care about yourself. Is it a wonder you have no one but your team, those Omegas cling to you like children. When I should be priority, you are unable to come over on weekends because one of the team idiots needs tutoring to keep a sports scholarship. Haven't you realized yet? No one wants an Omega that has nothing to his name no money, this gross flat muscled body. You have no curve! I overlook all of that! I mean Who would want you? I see past all that! I love you and you can't even try for me."
"I think we've both mixed up friendship with love!" Suga pushed the advancing Alpha away refusing to be cornered again. "I do not wish to be either to you!"
" You! You don't even put out! I think I've been pretty damned understating and patient! I understand that your damn granny so old fashioned and whatever you promised to wait until you're legally bonded by ceremony. But have some fucking compassion now! Give me something. Stop with these fucking weird won't even blow me."
Suga winced as his boyfriend gripped his upper arms again slamming him hard against the wall, his cruel rant continuing.
The Omega attempted to remain calm, he needed to keep his fear in check or it would bring someone to investigate the scene. Questions he didn't want to answer, would most definitely be asked.
"Stop that!" The Alpha snarled, causing Suga to whimper his knees weakened due to the pain on his upper arms, and the anger radiating off this alpha. His hands were going numb from the lack of circulation. He fell against the Alpha's chest.
"You are always in your head. " The Alpha loosened his grip, his hands releasing Suga only to wrap the trembling Omega in a gentler hold. Thinking the grayhaired boy was showing remorse. Izumi kissed the top of Suga's head, attempting to calm his soon to be's breathing. "Ssh, Suga. You hang around Alphas to much and you forget you are an Omega. It's okay. I forgive you. It's not me who is changing, I'll always be the same. Someone has to tell you. Too many ideas put into that pretty head of yours. "
Suga found it hard to breath, his heart was breaking and the reality he had been ignoring was right in front of him now. The two were never going to make it, and Suga had been to naive to think Izumi could change. And he knew that the Alpha wouldn't be the one to let Suga go so it had to be Suga. The Omega took a deep steady breath, he needed to put distance between them. His arms were aching and he might buckle under the aggression.
"Hey, now. Look, Koshi, it's not like you'll play in university. Or what? The olympics? You aren't tall enough or skilled enough. And you are an Omega from Myagi. "
Izumi gave Suga the opening by pulling him away, so he could look the Omega in the eye. Trying to assert dominance again, always having to be in charge. Never giving the Omega a chance to speak. His words though spoken in a calmer soothing tone had the opposite effect on the third year, and when he made eye contact with Izumi, he took a step back, the Alpha read it then. The fact that Suga wasn't purring, or submissive, he could feel their relationship start to unwind, and the rope that kept them locked now frayed until there was just a small thin string connecting them.
The Alpha was clutching at straws now trying to mend it, he needed the Omega to bend to be obedient. " Why are you so different? Don't tell me you've found someone else." Izumi was snarling now his face twisted into anger, this was the only thing the basketball team's ace could think of. A cold rage washed over him and he was snapping and bearing his teeth. His body was made to be stronger, quicker and his right hand caught Suga by the back of his neck.
" We both agreed to keep our relationship a secret, both of us. I won't let you go Suga! Don't you ever forget who you belong to! Your granny has already given my family the contract. Or do you want me to break that, can your gran afford to lose out on the money mine would give. Think of the life you could give her. After all she took you in when your own parents wanted nothing to do with you. A small nothing Omega."
"Stop!" Suga looked the taller Alpha straight in the eye, an open challenge, pulling free again, holding back tears of anger, "Say what you want Iwao-san. Nothing is ever written in stone. My granny doesn't care about money only happiness. And I don't have that kind of love for you, I never did. I treasured our friendship, however even this is becoming difficult. Someone who can't accept who I wants intimacy without even allowing me to hold your hand in a theater. We don't even go on dates. You've changed progressively since entering high school. And my parents have nothing to do with this." Suga's stomach was turning hearing the truth in his own words.
"You have found someone else! What other reason would you have!" Suga refused to bend his knees, he was rejecting this Alpha, he had to stay calm and remain in his head. "I accept who you are, you are an Omega. I've always told you the plan! I will take over my family's business. You ungreatful little knottslut, this is what you've been really up to? Disobedient little bitch."
Suga refused to cry, even if his heart was breaking, his senses clouded, the bastard was using his dominate pheromones trying to bring him to his knees as well as his strength. This was , this was the ultimate betrayal, and that string connecting them finally broke. They had been childhood friends since before he could walk. Suga shook his head, managing to break free and back away slowly.
"Koshi." The Alpha growled, taking several deep breaths fists balled at his sides. What was wrong with him? Dammit! Why wasn't Suga more obedient!? "Koshi, don't make me get you. Come here and let me scent you. You have been overthinking again."
"No." Suga growled, "And don't call me Koshi."
"Goddammit Koshi! Don't make this school thing about us ."
Suga nodded, blinking back the hurt, he put on his best game face straightening his shoulders "Captain Iwao-kun. I am going to make a formal complaint against one of your players. He physically harassed and-"
"You bitch-" The Alpha snapped bringing his hand up making to slap his long time friend, his secret boyfriend and fiance. His tutor, the first Omega he ever kissed and supposedly the last as far as Suga knew .However his hand didn't meet the slender Omega anywhere on his person. Instead to his surprise there was a savage growl and he had been tackled slammed into the floor by not one but two Alphas?
Daichi was equally surprised seeing that not only had he moved without thought but so had a very angry first year setter.
Today had been stressful enough but when the Captain had seen this bastard's intention with the lifting of his hand Daichi had snapped. And now he growled bearing his sharp perfectly white teeth close to the struggling Alpha's neck. The body under him froze glaring up at the taller Alpha pinning him. Their scents fought dominance, both bearing teeth but Daichi had the upper hand he put a hand to the weaker's neck. Silently praising his parents his for giving him his height and for the strength he was blessed with. It wasn't complete submission but the body beneath him stopped struggling and only remained stiff.
"What is it with these basketball assholes!" Kageyama stood up seeing that his Captain had the situation(Alpha) under control, it was frightening to see the older Alpha's rage in full view,he remember this when he thought to argue against critiques in his form.
"I think they are in need of some fucking lessons in manners!" Daichi surprised himself ready to strike the Alpha he knew as Iwao Izumi, year 3 class1-B. The Alpha struggled and growled under him.
Kageyama was standing next to Suga, the vice captain was composed to the first year's surprise.
"It was a misunderstanding Daichi-San. Captain-san-"
"Captain-san?" All three Alphas echoed the question.
"I forgot his name, seeing how we don't know each other. " Daichi felt the Alpha's body tense under him again before he was thrown from the basketball club's captain's legs.
"Get off!" Izumi's fists clenched and unclenched at his side.
"We were only discussing how our teammates can better get along. However we should for the pride of our school and our own club's honor avoiding stains of disgrace, leading by example and getting along." Daichi nodded, having only heard part of the conversation he felt his heart once more skip a beat, his Vice Captain was composed and strong and beautiful. Beautiful? Obviously something had transpired before he had come upon his teammate's familiar scent only this time tinted with fear. Here the Omega stood, no tears not so much as a tremble to his words. That kind of cool head was one to be admired, it helped that there were other things to admire about the Omega. He shook these thoughts away, he needed to focus on the confusing situation. Had the basketball captain tried to confront Suga on his behavior towards what this idiot deemed a challenge?
"Out of concern for our young first year, Captain-san came to check on Hinata. How kind of him."
"Sure." Kageyama grumbled "A real Mother Theresa."
Daichi narrowed his eyes at the Alpha in front of him, the fight left him seeing how the third year's color left his face. He was staring over Daichi's shoulder right at the expressionless omega, the poor idiot hadn't even responded to Kageyama's snarky reply.
"I will be speaking to my player. I hope that both of our clubs can reconcile quickly. It's a cold world out there when you are alone. We athletes should stick together." Kageyama heard a small intake of breath from the vice captain. He didn't understand what was going on exactly having just walked straight into the tense atmosphere seconds ago, but he could read behind the seemingly non threatening statement.
Daichi growled in reply unable to control his sudden flood of pheromones, duel scents fought for dominance and Kageyama scrunched his nose, Suga continued to stand straight back, "Kageyama what are you doing out here? I did tell you to stay with Hinata, if he wakes up he will be confused and might be sick again. He might not look it but he has a bad stomach when it comes to stress."
Once more the Omega was ignoring the silent duel going on in front of him, how the strong scents weren't causing the vice-captain to fall to his knees, Kageyama did not know.
Omegas weren't at all what he had heard. And was Sugawara angry that he didn't stay with Hinata? He was only coming to find Suga, Hinata was asking for him.
"The idiot is already awake I was coming out here to let you know. He-he wanted" This was said softly, Kageyama didn't understand why he felt the need for acceptance by the older omega. He gained a small smile of approval.
A gesture that caused the basketball alpha to growl in warning. The vice captain ignored this with a small smile and soft nod he continued to talk calmly to a distracted and tense Kageyama forcing the young Alpha's attention back on him.
"You did good. Thank you Kageyama-kun, you've proven yourself a good friend and teammate to Hinata." Normally Kageyama would detest any show of affection, he wasn't used to a pat on the back or high five. Let alone the ruffling of his straight black hair, however when Sugawara did this he felt his shoulders set a little straighter and his cheeks burn with embarrassment as well as pride.
The soft giggle from his vice captain had him opening the infirmary door for the gray haired omega. " I'll go talk to him. Daichi-san if you are going to check on our little first year please be sure to leave your aggressive scent behind. It will only make to upset Shoyo. After I check on him, I'll go to the principal to place a complaint."
"I was coming here to let you know, Coach is already taking care of it. Seems like today wasn't just a bad day for Hinata. Practice was canceled." Daichi replied over his shoulder his glare still on the basketball captain's tense form. The bastard was eyeing Suga like a mouse the cat desperately wanted to pounce on.
Not if Sawamura could help it, and from the look of the point guard, Daichi could definitely defeat him in a fight.
"Is everyone alright?" It surprised Daichi how fast the Omega was able to change his irritation to concern, even his scent reflected this. It smelled of fresh rain and a warm spring breeze.
"Nothing that will interrupt practice just some injured pride maybe on the assailants part. A few bruises to some of our pack I mean team alphas and omegas." Daichi paused glaring at the unmoving basketball point guard. " We take care of our own. Even if others cant see this. Our pack may be new, but its strong." There was that word again. Pack. Could they be considered a pack? Daichi would think about this later but right now he wanted the basketball idiot to kick rocks and get going.
Suga exhaled slowly closing his eyes briefly, a sign that he was gathering himself. "Good. Well I don't condone violence but if injured pride is the worst of it that's better than the alternative. I think it best you leave captain-san. Thank you for checking on our player."
The captain curled his lip about to say something he caught how the two Alphas were blocking his scowl from the shorter omega's view. He waved and turned stiffly away."As for just now I ask you not repeat anything you may have overheard. And never put yourselves at risk to injury. You're bodies are important to our team. Nothing is worth injury over. And at the same time thank you."
"I guess i'm done here. Excuse me. Daichi-kun. Kageyama-kun."
Suga left the two Alphas staring after him as the door to the infirmary closed behind him. "Suga Senpai?" Hinata bit his lip he was sitting up in bed cross legged, the color having returned to his face.
He tilted his head to the side and opened his arms allowing his friend and Vice captain to sit on the bed and embrace him. "You scared us there Shoyo." Suga sat on the edge of the bed, pulling his little spiker to him holding the younger Omega tight and running his chin over the top of his head. Any tension in Shoyo's body eased instantly and he begin to purr. Managing between soft sighs of content to get some tangible words of apology, then he managed to pull away a little, his arms at his side, but his head now on the elder Omega's lap, the small body was curled in towards the sitting upperclassman.
"Sorry Senpai. I tried to remember my breathing but it made me dizzy trying to figure out if it was out or in that I was supposed to count prime numbers to. Then I felt like I was drowning and I couldn't breathe and, I started to feel the bite marks even though they're just scars now. "
"Sssh." Suga rubbed the younger teammates back. "You have done so well. Look at how well you get along with our teammates. And speaking of teammates, be sure to thank Kageyama he carried you here. He and Daichi were very worried about you."
"Oh. Really? I'm sorry to cause trouble." Hinata mumbled burying his head in his teammates muscled thigh. Suga smiled gently rubbing Hinata's back in stronger circles, "You have nothing to worry about. You were the victim. And I promise those three will not get off easy. Coach is talking to the dean about this. So put it out of your head for now. Alright. You are safe, and I'll walk you home from now on Until things die down a little."
"No, I can't have you do that. I'll be alright Sempi. Just let me text you or I'll call once I get home, or at every stop." Suga thought about the Alphas on the team, and a slow smile crossed his lips, he had a feeling he wouldn't need to worry if a certain concerned setter stayed close to the little omega. "Alright. I won't walk you home. But you need to tell me when you are being harassed. Alright." Hinata sat up nodding, he was biting his bottom lip, worrying it beneath his pearl white teeth. "Did I? I mean. Um, did I puke on him by any chance?" Suga felt his own stress leave him comforting his teammates especially the younger ones, always did this to him, all his own tension disappearing. He giggled remembering the look on the Alpha setters face.
"His school uniform will survive."
The smaller boy hissed burying his beet red face in his own hands, pulling away from the Vice captain.
"Kill me now. Please. Just end my life Sempi."
"Oi! You aren't getting off so easy dumbass. You can wash my uniform. As for my shoes they weren't my favorites anyway. I have a new pair I can wear at home."
Hinata's head snapped up he rolled his eyes "That's no way to talk to a sick person bakayama."
Bakayama? Suga sighed standing up, "You can head home Hinata when you feel up to it. I didn't call your aunt. No one did."
Kageyama wondered why the Omega looked relieved? Didn't he want the comfort of his family?
"Oh, good cause it would be bad to bother her right now it's real busy at the shop and she's probably picking up Natsu from the bus stop and you know how Natsu worries, so I better get home. Geeze I feel like an idiot after all I think I might have eaten a bad meat bun. That's why i puked. I'm such a baby."
Kageyama frowned hearing the sudden nervous ramblings of the orange haired boy, something was off once more. However he wasn't used to emotions like this it was hard to name it. Later he looked it up and came up with 'Concern' that was a new one not associated with volleyball then he realized he was maybe just worried that if something happened to Hinata and his guardian didn't let him play volleyball anymore than the team would suffer.
He thought about this as he walked the spiker part way home, Hinata had a bike hidden some where behind some trees, "The bike racks are so full that it's easier to just chain it to a tree. " He explained walking his bike next to his tall teammate. Once again Kageyama scowled, he didn't like the idea of being lied to. Why would Hinata lie about where he stored his bike?
"Uh, thank you for helping me today. Sorry for throwing up on you, I swear I'll wash this." He had insisted on taking Kageyama's school uniform shirt and promising to bring it back freshly pressed to morning practice.
They walked mostly in silence and Kageyama was alright with this most days, but somehow he found himself missing the endless chatter from the spiker. As they came to a crossroads where the dark haired setter found out that after two buses, and a train this is where Hinata would turn onto his street. He was reassured the omega would manage the next very short distance on his own. They waved to each other, as Hinata reached the end of his own driveway and then Kageyama called out "Oi! Idiot!"
"What?" Hinata returned on instinct.
"Haha you answered!"
"Hey no fair! Meanieyama! That's playing dirty when I don't feel good! "
"Alright alright quiet down, the neighbors will be calling the police for disturbance. What's your favorite food?"
"Egg over rice." Hinata yelled out towards the backward walking Alpha.
"Me too!" Was all Kageyama said and Hinata shrugged he would add this piece of info to what he already knew about the genius setter.
Hinata stood now watching the dark haired boy's back disappearing down the road. His new teammate and friend was something else. The genius setter's grinning face caused Hinata's heart to skip a beat. Why did these thoughts cause his body to shiver with energy?
"Shoyo!" Hinata jumped hearing his name spoken so sternly. He turned towards his home, his Aunts current boyfriend stood glaring at the retreating Kageyama. The tall blond Alpha had his apron tied around his muscular waist. He was holding a beer in his hand and his free hand was scratching at the back of his neck. "You're a bit early kiddo." He tried to soften his voice noticing how jumpy the young kid was. "Your sister has been asking for you. Who was that?" The strange uncle motioned towards the road.
"He uh is a friend from school he walked me home. Stuff happened. So practice was canceled. Is my aunt home?"
The Alpha ran a hand through his bleached hair once more, the young omega boy had his head down, the kid was frozen. Waiting for Tomo to say something, or do what the kid had learned most of his aunt's alpha boyfriends did.
Tomo winced, if that Beta bitch hadnt been the queen of blow jobs and his employer he'd fuckin bounce. Now she'd taken off and he couldn't just leave these kids alone. At the same time they were terrified of him.
Growing up in an orphanage wasn't a joke, Tomo knew this, and the experience kept him from calling child services. Tomo couldn't see the small orange haired kid lasting long in those cold touch starved places, poor little Natsu was too timid to be forced into such an environment. Statistics showed Omegas were known to face abuse in adoptions. Even more so than an Alpha. Tsk. He wouldn't turn them over, he had a place to stay, a job, and steady income right now. He could hold out till that Beta returned. Right?
"Wash up then, dinner is in the oven for you. Maybe you could convince Natsu to come out of hiding and eat too. Your aunt she uh went to run an errand. She'll be back sometime tomorrow or by the end of the week maybe." The kid let out a sigh of relief,
"I'll feed my sister. She's j- just shy. Thank you for dinner." The alpha nodded watching turning back to the road no young Alphas were about.
The older blond knew little of omegas, other than what he learned from fucking them. What he did know was the younger ones needed protection from the adolescent urges of teenage Alphas, as well as the unwanted attentions of old perverts.
God dammit! He didn't have the urge to be a protective alpha or to have pups. He had made it this long unattached. Besides it killed his inner protective alpha the way both pups feared him, rolling like waves off the small pups making the Alpha sick to his stomach.
Tomo waited for Shoyo to disappear into the house before throwing his beer bottle away from him against the fence.
"Fuck!" He glared at his shattered glass and headed into the quiet house.
That night Tomo was sitting watching a variety show trying to forget the fact he was stuck at the bakery pretty much alone. Where did Ritzu go? Two days already and the kids were going to start asking why they never saw their aunt at night anymore. She was never present in the mornings due to opening the bakery. Now he was opening, but he was alright being home by the time Natsu was off of school. She always passed the bakery just as he was locking up. She kept her distance but she walked behind him quietly as he lead the way home.
There was a muffled cry from upstairs, this had the Alpha on his feet, alert he listened, sniffing the air. He tasted the sour of a distressed pup, without further thought he growled tearing up the steps two at a time he burst into Shoyo's room.
The young Omega was tossing and turning, the Alpha's keen eyes searched the room for any sign of intruder, ready to tear the bastard apart.
However there was no one, just Shoyo whimpering pathetically. His sad mews tore at the Alpha, he heard a muffled cry behind him. Turning he saw a nervous Natsu, "He's having a bad dream." She clung to a tattered rag doll missing its button eyes, and wearing a faded smile.
The Alpha nodded, kneeling down, he hesitated touching the young adolescent. "Brother!" Natsu shook her brother's shoulder, then pushed on his chest, her little hands tiny against the heaving of the young teens body.
"Momma." The boy cried out, and the Alpha lost himself to instinct, he quickly turned on the lap nearest the Omegas bed and gave him a quick shake, "Shoyo!" The boy sat straight up tears still fresh on his cheeks, he shakily squinted looking around.
There was no one there, but Natsu looking absolutely terrified.
"Brother." She whispered climbing into his bed, placing her arms around his neck.
"Sorry, Na-chan. It was just a bad dream. Thanks for waking me up. Do you wanna cuddle with your big dumb brother?" She nodded into his sweat drenched shirt. "Hey jerk, you aren't supposed to agree with me!" They both giggled softly, it was uncomfortable but Shoyo didn't want to move his sister, he instead took a deep breath and switched off his lamp. The old scars on his wrist and arms were shiny but only to him when was looking directly at them in the lamp light.
He needed to pull himself together, thankfully his aunt's boyfriend hadn't heard him. That would be embarrassing, Shoyo wasn't some little grade school kid. He was fifteen dammit. He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, willing all bad thoughts to leave, it never worked but at least he was able to fool himself into relaxing enough to sleep.
