Kageyama glared down at his maths work book, across from him Hinata was nodding off trying to focus. "I'll get us some drinks." The taller boy offered getting up stretching, however Hinata didn't move he was snoring away crouched in an uncomfortable thought about waking the boy, practice had been grueling and Hinata had been excited to come over and study. He said Suga needed a break, he was looking worn down. Tobio had to agree the omega vice captain took it upon himself to keep the players who were struggling academically up to par. That turned out to be everyone but Azumane, and Daichi.

Kageyama heard a whimper from his room, his house was empty, his family often left him to travel overseas on business. Did someone sneak in? He left the two water bottles and took the stairs two at a time, he rushed into his room ready to fight. However no one was there but the Omega still sleeping with his head on Kageyama's table. He went to nudge Hinata out of his nightmare, kneeling down he meant to put a hand on Hinata's shoulder but the boy sat up with a shout. "NO!"

Tobio didn't know what to do, he was staring into wide gold eyes, Hinata seemed a million miles away. "You are safe, you're alright. Shoyo?" Kageyama did what Suga would have and he embraced the short fireball. Hugging was foreign to him, however he had watched Suga these last few weeks and thought if that's all it took to quiet down his omega teammates when stressed he could do that. This was practice, besides after that kiss Hinata surprised him with a week ago, couldn't help but wonder if they were going to touch again. He waited for the fireball to make his move but nothing.

True they did eat lunch together everyday, and sometimes if he was distracted by an article in a volleyball magazine the shorter boy would feed him. Kageyama wouldn't admit to anyone if asked, but he loved that treatment. He liked how Omegas scented their surroundings gently. They were more open to express feeling, with hugging and high fives. Where as alphas tended to be more quiet and the only outbursts were out of anger.

Being on a team with Omegas was different than what he was used to, he hated to think of his dark past, he shivered, Shoyo didn't know that part of him, hadn't met his middleschool teammates. Would he hate him? He was far from a King, even if Hinata poked fun at him calling him his majesty or King. But did anyone know what the nickname really meant, it was a brand that burned the Alpha. It was a cruel nickname given by abused teammates, all Alphas not liking the youngest player challenging them on their court.

Hinata squeezed back, his arm tight around Kageyama's waist, the smaller boy was taking deep breaths.

"Just breathe with me, just breathe with me. Deep breaths, that's right." And Hinata started to calm.

He stiffened pulling away, "I should go home! I'm sorry-"

"Wait." Kageyama wasn't going to let him off so easy, the Alpha gently pushed him down to sit on the bed. Panic filled the smaller boys eyes he glanced around his hands fisted at his side.

"Calm down get your mind out of the gutter." Kageyama didn't mean to sound angry but hated the lack of trust. He wasn't some horny teenager, well he was but he was keeping that part of himself in check. Definitely not thinking of their kiss a few weeks ago or the light touches between. He wasn't some touch starved kindergartener. He was fifteen going on sixteen. A first year in high school, he could handle delicious scents and close proximities.

The scent of fear was stronger and Hinata was on his feet. "It's late I better go-"

"Why are you so jumpy? I already said you can trust me." Tobio put a firm hand on Hinata's shoulder, it was almost like last time except the Omega didn't kiss him. Instead the omega brought his knee up hard and Tobio sank to his knees.

"Oh! I'm sorry! Oh god! I'll get ice! I'm sorry! It was instinctive!" More panic from the Omega that Tobio couldn't breathe let alone offer comfort. Where did he go wrong?

Before he realized he was alone, and he managed to ease his breathing, a pack of ice at his side but no sign of the Omega.

Shoyo ran, he ran home leaving his bag and not caring, he wouldn't ever be able to face his friend? Boyfriend?

His phone beeped but he ignored it, he just wanted to get home and hid. Tomo greeted him from the livingroom but Hinata headed straight for his room shutting the door.

"Shoyo? You okay?" Tomo knocked on the small kid's door, he could hear sobbing within and anger flared in him with an uncontrollable urge to protect.

"Shoyo? Wanna talk about it buddy? I made your favorite for dinner."

"I'm okay it's just a headache."

"Alright, but if this headache touched you in anyway, I swear on my own grave I'll gladly pop his arms off and beat him with them."

There was a giggle and a small sniffle the door opened a crack and gold eyes didn't meet Tomo's.

"I accidently kicked him in the crotch. " the small boy whined.

"That a boy-I mean. What happened?" Tomo was proud, he had been showing Natsu and Shoyo subtle ways to protect themselves and giving Omega defense lessons on the weekends. Seems like lesson number one sank in and hit it's mark. Still Shoyo looked distraught, why?

The door opened allowing Tomo room to enter, "I fell asleep doing my homework."

Tomo held his breath "And-"

"I had a bad dream, when I woke up Tobio was hugging me. Or I was hugging him. He wanted to talk about it."

"And you wanted to leave. Let me guess you felt cornered."

"He kept asking whats wrong, I know he wants to know why I get these dreams. He kept saying I make him feel bad by being jumpy. That it hurts an alpha too or makes them feel bad."

'He's a serious one isn't he." Tomo replied dryly, knowing this was Shoyo's way of asking if that were true, if Alphas felt pain from an omegas fear.

Tomo hated serious talks, as a kid he didn't have anyone to tell him this and he had to the one to figure it out. He could explain it but to an Omega?

He tsked scratching the back of his head uncomfortably.

"The air it becomes sour when an Omega is afraid, right" Hinata nodded sitting on his bed wiping his eyes. "Well sometimes the sour gets into your lungs, gets into your nose, it burns your senses as an alpha. I think it's a defense mechanism. It makes some Alpha's back off and others it makes them want to sooth the pain. It's like a stone in your heart it hurts your chest, the more you want to sooth the more nervous the Omega tends to become. But that guilt trip is not yours to deal with and if an young alpha gets handsy it's your right to kick him square in the nuts."

Shoyo put his head in his hands, " I can't face him tomorrow! Please kill me."

Tomo laughed now, breaking up the serious atmosphere, "It will remind him to keep his distance next time."

Shoyo shook his head, "He only wanted to know what I was dreaming about, why I have anxiety when I get crowded by alphas."

Tomo wanted to know the same and held is breath as Shoyo held up his forearm pulling back the sleeve. He hissed in anger, but kept still trying to not scare the omega out of his explanation.

Suga finished up in the library shutting his book, it was nice to study alone but his head pounded he needed to get home and just sleep off this tiredness.

Michimaya smiled sweetly "Suga. You are looking exhausted. Let me walk you home."

Suga stood unsteadily, " No, I'm okay." He felt the first set of cramps nearly knock him off his feet.

"Ah, Izumi was right. You do smell delicious, and you are an idiot forgetting when your cycle is. "

Suga was on alert, this was his head, oh god he was an idiot, he had time still he needed to get home.

"Don't worry, I'm not into Omegas, I'm just a messenger." Michimaya grinned, squeezing Suga's cheeks between her forefinger and thumb.

"I Just want Daichi to myself you keep shaking your ass at him."

"Stop. I don't-" Suga pulled away, but another wave of pain hit him, his body warming up. He needed his backpack, he had a suppressor there.

"Come on you little slut, Izumi is waiting."

Suga grabbed his bag making as if he were accepting his fate, however the volleyball captain laughed. "I'm not stupid of course you have something to fight off this heat. I took health as well."

She snatched his bag from him emptying out the contents smashing the injector, you're a slut and you deserve whatever comes your way. I've been working on getting Daichi to notice me for the past two years. I wont let the likes of you come in and steal him from me, now walk! " She took his arm roughly, Suga knew he wasn't in shape to fight her he needed to wait for an opening.

"I just entered fourth grade, my father had left my mother. It was only the two of us, she worked hard in her parent's bakery. I don't remember my grandparents, but I know they were nice. It was their bakery, and I would sit after school and do my homework. My aunt was happy then. She would lift me up and dance around with me in her arms. She was seventeen and in her third year. Grandfather was ill and needed mom to go to Tokyo to make purchases and have them mailed here, what she couldn't bring home. "

Hinata gripped his arm, Auntie wanted to sight see, I remember she begged and begged. " Hinata started to take deep breaths.

"Mother agreed, there was some event, a sports event lots of Alphas were on the street. Mother decided we should go. Then a fight broke out, two alphas in a rut, I could smell them they didn't care who they were fighting over. So we tried to go but one of them grabbed my aunt, she's not an Omega but my mother was and she was wearing my mother's favorite jacket. Things happened quickly, mother pulled aunt back but, they grabbed her. And I held on, I couldn't do anything. Usually Alphas would back off when they see an Omega with a child. These ones didn't care. One tore me from her and I remember the sound my wrist made when it broke. I remember her screams and no one helped. She was dragged into a bathroom and no one helped." Hinata started to gasp for air, "Then we had Natsu." He whispered low, my grandfather died of a heart attack once mother was released from the hospital. My aunt changed then. She hates Natsu. She blames me for not being able to help. Omegas are weak."

"She is mad at herself. " Tomo reached slowly to pet the distressed Omega's bowed head. "You're alright."

"Then my second year of middleschool my friend found out I was an Omega and everything changed in him too. He went into a rutt and held me down he bit me here and on my shoulder. He scratched my back enough to leave marks. He said I deserved that for being outside without an escort. He said I was teasing him this whole time. I don't want Tobio to know that. He'll hate me." Hinata sobbed.

"Are you blaming Natsu as well?"

Hinata wiped his eyes and sniffed shaking his head "It's not her fault. That's ridiculous what did she do-"

"Exactly. Shoyo. You need to let it go. I know it's hard but this isn't your fault. Some alpha couldn't control himself. He should be in jail, he should be paying for all he did."

"Your mother is a wonderful woman, some get rid of the pregnancy or give up the baby."

"My mother wouldn't do that she loved Natsu, we came here to run the bakery after grandfather passed. Mother was in a car accident and we were left with auntie. The bakery is ours once I hit twenty five, and I won't have to rely on our aunt. She hates seeing us we remind her to much of what happened."

Tomo didn't know how it happened but he was holding the young Omega in his arms and rocking him.

"I never knew my mother or father. I grew up in an orphanage of unwanted alphas. "

Hinata sniffed, "Well then their loss uncle, because you are way too cool to be forgotten. The last alpha aunt had would hit me everytime I made a noise. Aunt said he broke it off with her because we were too bad of kids and lacked discipline. "

"If you see the guy sniffing around just tell me and I'll show him discipline."

Hinata was wiping his tears away and Tomo rubbed his back. "Now, from an alpha's perspective. Your friend Toebaby-chan will not be angry but more embarrassed at himself. Do you want me to have a talk alpha to alpha?"

"Tobio."

Shoyo was giggling too hard to answer Tomo was running a hand down the side of his ribs making him giggle. "Now, that this emo chat session is done let's eat. Take it from me no real damage can be done with a knee to the groin. It just leaves a lasting impression to think twice before cornering someone who can protect themselves. Or someone who has a pack." Tomo ruffled his nephew's orange hair.

Izumi grabbed Suga by his short gray hair, "Stop! Let me go!" Suga hissed trying to bite the person holding him down.

"He's fiesty yeah. Glad we came along, I've never fucked an Omega in heat. Izumi you?" two male alphas from the basketball team, the two boys looked eagerly at Suga.

"Fuck off! I'm not giving consent! Let me go and I wont press charges."

"A couple it's amazing. This one I get first crack at, he's mine. And smell that its delicious. " Izumi ignored Suga who was pushed into a corner, his jacket pulled from him discarded outside the small room.

"No! Stop this! It's illegal. This isn't what I want!" Suga tried to keep his head, his body was starting to feel warm all over. He didn't recognize the other Alphas but Izumi, how could he do this? Michimaya? "Why?"

"Dammit Izumi! I gave you the duct tape to get him quiet!" The female volleyball captain glared at the forward.

"I like the noises he makes. I've waited to long. Anyway if you're so nervous go stand watch. If anyone says anything just say its one of your players with a stomach ache. Someone hold him, he's going to do me a bit of warm up while we wait for him to be compliant."

Daichi and Asahi were laughing at the antics of the Libero who was whooping holding up a passing grade. "This is the first A I've ever earned. Thank you Asahi-Senpai!"

Another flip by the Libero brought Ukai out of his small office.

"What's so exciting boys?"

Takeda was finishing up as well he was done checking grades of his players to his surprise and excitement they had no benched players. He was telling Ukai this when the three boys were cutting through the gym.

Nishinoya showed his paper happily marked with an A, his english teacher was in such shock he had checked the Libero for anything to help him cheat. Something that Takeda had taken up with the teacher, no one doubted the honor of his players.

"It seems our Ace is not only great at speaking but he can teach the most distracted players in english. We may have an all around genius."

Ukai patted his Ace on the back and rubbed the libero's head. "I never doubted you! Great job!"

Daichi looked around the gym " Where Suga?" he asked, "His bike was still in the courtyard."

"He stays in the library until it closes sometimes." Takeda replied .

"I should rub it in. Maybe he'll feel a little relieved thats one player he doesnt have to study with." The libero grinned, "That guy worries too much."

"He means well. I'll go drag him from the library he's been looking tired."

"His grandmother has been ill. I think it's his way of not over worrying, staying busy." Takeda sighed.

"I said open your mouth!" Izumi growled slapping the gray haired Omega once more he bared his teeth at the near conscious younger man.

The two other members of the basketball club were growling their crotches tight from the scent of an Omega in heat.

Suga was laying there his body on fire he wanted to move but he was sore someone pulled his workout shorts down, the cold air to his bottom half had him snapping back to reality. He opened his mouth to protest but something sour and thick was forced past his lips. He gagged but someone was holding his arms and pulling his head forward, his hair was twisted back so cruelly. "Take it!" Suga wanted to sobb but he couldn't breath a hard punch to his stomach had him gasping and coughing but he couldn't breath around the hard dick in his stretched mouth.

"Swallow!" the alpha grinding into his mouth grunted and Suga pulled away coughing and gagging, he wipped at his mouth, but his hips were taken and pulled up, he was flipped onto his belly.

"I thought you said to wait till he's ready-" One of the unknown Alphas rubbing his hardened cock was grunting.

"Shut up and watch how it's done."

Suga threw up and weakly trying to move away, but his body felt so heavy and someone had tied his hands behind his back. It was painful, his whole body cried out, these were unwanted touches. He needed his medicine, this was becoming too much his breaths were short every touch burned, his head was being forced down and hips up.

In the fog of it he thought he heard his name, a more welcomed voice a scent he wanted to drown in.

"Suga! FUCK! What the fuck do you think you're doing!"

"He lured us!" Izumi snapped pushing at the Alpha that had him pinned once more.

Daichi had smelled Suga all over Mi-kun, as far as he knew they weren't close friends. And she was holding his backpack, she lied smoothly but when a muffled sound came from the utility room behind her she bolted.

Daichi didn't follow instead Nishinoya froze, eyes wide, "SUGA!" he yelled, his voice broke drawing out a curious Alpha in rut, two of them charged the small omega not seeing the alphas at his side. Their mistake.

The Libero dropped his own back and brought a hard fist into the gut of his first attacker, he didn't get much time to do more before Asahi pulled him out of the way attacking with a fierce roar, "Go get the TAKEDA! RUN!" The libero didn't want to leave his friends outnumbered but he couldn't bring himself to disobey and he ran to get the advisor. This was bad, Suga, Suga "please don't be hurt" he mumbled to himself.

"That slut is mine! He went into heat it's his fault!"

Daichi didn't believe this Suga didn't seem the type to allow his heat to go unnoticed. He wouldn't push his health that far, maybe exhaustion but never his heat. He always reminded the first years to keep their injectors on them.

Looking over he could see the bruises and scratches Suga wasn't moving, his lips were swollen and he reeked of this alpha.

"I'll kill you!" Daichi took a deep breath, the smell of fear was so overwhelming that everything went black.

Azumane could smell an omega in heat, it smelled so delicious and inviting. He opened the half opened janitorial door, only to be slammed into by the limp and very unconscious body of another classmate.

Then the door was closed and locked "Azumane had to get a hold of himself, he loved Noya. He loved Noya. That was a truth, suddenly the smell wasn't so appealing.

Ukai was there pounding on the door," Daichi!" he growled.

"You wont hurt him!"

The Alpha kicked the door "Alphas go!" He growled.

Ukai held his breath, these were children, Suga was a child he was to protect not an omega, not an omega in heat. He was a child."

Ukai felt helpless, then someone held up a handkerchief holding it to his nose. The smell of coffee was overwhelming and canceling out the scent of heat.

Nishinoya was fiddling with the locked door, "Let me in Daichi-san! I have medicine, let me give it to Suga he's hurting."

"No! No ALPHAS"

" ! Clear your alpha fogged brain, I am an Omega! Let me in."

"An ambulance is coming." Ukai took a deep breath, how could this happen to one of his players. "No! Noya! It's too dangerous. " The Ace tried to pull the smaller boy back.

"Stop, we have to do this! If Daichi does something they both wont forgive themselves. I have my suppressor. I just-"

"Your player influenced mine! You Omegas should be home! You of all people should know this Takeda!" The Omega advisor was arguing with the basketball coach. "What Takeda you have nothing to say-" the Alpha was crowding the smaller advisor.

Ukai didn't have time for this, "Go Nishinoya!"

"Suga! It's me. Tell Daichi to open the door."

The Omega within groaned weakly, and the Alpha growled in response. "HURT!"

Suga was being cradled there was an overpowering scent on him, he wasn't drowning he was floating. Safe. This scent said SAFE. Someone was nudging his head, he was still burning up but the jacket covering him wasn't scratchy. He was being soothed by hands running over his bare skin, cool hands. Then someone else called his name, another Omega sounding distressed.

"NO ALPHAS!" Daichi was here, in his haze Suga thought this was bad even for a dream.

"Alpha, open the door." Suga sighed, "Someone's hurt."

"You are hurt." Daichi was wiping Suga's sore and bleeding lips and then kissed the top of Suga's head cradling the thinner boy in his arms. Mating was far from the Alpha's brain instead he wanted to protect and keep safe

"Please." Suga whined purring the Alpha complied as if in a trance but before doing so he nuzzled a barely conscious Suga.

Nishinoya cringed Suga was bruised on his face and legs, Daichi's jacket barely covered the naked body. "Sorry Suga, you're going to stink like me for a little. But hands off my Asahi he belongs to me. Even if he doesn't know it."

With the speed of a Libero the smaller Omega brought his injector hard into his friends naked thigh. He wasn't prepared to be pushed roughly back by the team captain he hit the door and things got a bit foggy, he felt himself being pulled back and picked up. His head hurt but it felt nice to lean against the offered shoulder. A familiar scruffy chin ran over his cheek and words whispered by a deep sexy voice into his ear.

"You're so brave, so beautiful and perfect." Again with the scenting and more praise. Noya didn't want to leave whatever dream this was, even if hands were petting the back of his head where it hurt he nuzzled back and took a deep breath. Eyes closed his lips found the thick neck just above a familiar scent were the gland belonged and he licked and bit down. Causing a groan and a grunt, "Not the time or place boys." Takeda sighed.

Asahi let out a breath and continued to hold his Omega to his chest, the ambulance was taking Suga away and cleared the libero from a serious head injury. Takeda was glad that the Suga wasn't alone, looking around his team would never be alone.
