No. Natsu couldn't breathe. The air around him was too scorching hot. It felt as though he was standing directly on a burning fire, the flames cackling and suffocating him, and choking him with their livid tendrils. Nonexistent smoke filled his weak lungs with their acid fumes and demolished the clean air he was sucking in minutes before. Inhaling burned. Natsu clutched his throat with a broken gasp and swayed on the spot as his visioned blurred out like a camera out of focus. His body vibrated on the inside, a pounding ache abusing his ribcage. Something tugged hard inside of him as if trying to turn a switch on and Natsu nearly buckled to the ground. The tug came again, more powerfully this time, and Natsu snapped over in half, eyes wide with panic and full blown fear. It was slight, just a hint, but he smelled it. The scent of an Omega in Heat. No! Fear coursed through the nineteen year old as it finally dawned on him what was unfurling. He had to get out of here, he had to leave right now! But his body was numb all over, trapped in a heated bubble threatening to explode. His vision was failing as well and the dark lighting in the club didn't help. The music was blaring loud and Natsu was in the center of a wall of clubbers. Rogue and Sting weren't with him either, somehow the trio had splitted up and Natsu vaguely remembers that he was looking for one of them when his body began to spazz out.
Natsu gritted his teeth and took a shaky step forward. He had to find an exit now, had to get far far away from here. He had no idea what kind of Statuses were here right now but he didn't want to wait and find out. The teen took another step and immediately bumped into the back of a person. Get outta my way! he wanted to roar but he was running out of energy fighting off his Omega scent that wanted to flare up like a light in the club. Natsu imagined it happening and realized it would be similar to a deer covered in A1 sauce that stood in the open of a the hunting ground with a 'Come and eat' sign slapped on its ass. Nope, not today, Natsu worked too hard to be where he is. He will not be like that deer damn it.
Natsu brought his hands up with the intent to push at the person's back... but instead his body pulsed needily and the Omega scent trickled out even more. Gasping, Natsu tried to push himself away but instead the person turned around and- fucking shit. Out of the entire population, it was Professor Fullbuster, Natsu's math professor and the only Alpha Natsu's ever found mild attraction to, who Natsu runs into when he's trying to fight off his Heat. Damn it all, he swore he took his pills today! Professor Fullbuster blinked in confusion and swiftly caught and balanced Natsu out as he stumbled backwards.
"Natsu, are you alright?"
Holy Jesus macaroni cheesus my name has never sounded like such a damn sin before. Natsu thought dumbly, his onyx eyes geling over as he stared up at his math teacher. His heart did a little flip at Gray calling him his first name instead of using formalities. Natsu liked it. Something wet and sticky between his legs told him he liked it a little too much. Fuck. Natsu tugged himself free of Gray's grasps and tried moving around him but someone dancing bumped into him and tossed him back to Gray, more specifically Gray's chest. Gray's very broad, chiseled warm chest. Gray's chest that rivaled the world's most comfortable pillow- if such a thing existed. If not, oh well, because Gray's chest takes the cake regardless.
"Whoa there. Natsu? You're not drunk are you?" Gray's deep voice... doused in slight husk, light honey, and a dangeorus slurr. Did Natsu ditect a slight hint of amusement? Well, while he wasn't drunk he was sure acting like a tipsy fucker, and if he was a teacher and found one of his students being a tipsy fucker, he would be amused too. But damn it, this wasn't him being drunk, this was him fighting off a very high temper onslaught of a very intense Heat.
"No.. needa go home!" Natsu forced the words out and didn't realize how thick his voice was. Gray did though, and took a minute to study his student. He should probably say old student since Natsu no longer was his student... It's summer break now, the first chapter of school ending, and Gray was a free man and off duty from teaching. He finished his grading early and decided to unwind at his friend's club. He came with a few friends but shortly got separated when they got on the dance floor. Gray didn't mind, he got sucked into his own world while dancing along with the blaring music. He already had a few drinks and was feeling a pleasant gentle buzz. He didn't expect to have a run in with any of his students but when he finally turned around to face the person who kept nudging him, he was surprised to find Natsu Dragneel.
Natsu just told him that he's not drunk yet the pinkette's face was darker than his hair right now. His eyes were blown, dark, and a bit out of focus. A sheet of sweat glistened on his tan skin and his lips were bruised red, moist, and very, very full. Gray leaned down to reach Natsu's height and took in the harsh pants coming out in puffs of short air from Natsu's mouth. There wasn't a drop hint of any alcohol... maybe the kid was sick. Well, if that's the case Gray can't leave him on his own. Natsu may be an Alpha, but he's one of the 'unique' ones, as Gray lists them; the Alphas who don't meet the criteria of Alphas. The Status of an Alpha is the highest Status on the scale for many reasons. Alphas are leaders, they're strong, they're dominant, they're built with authority in their size and aura. But Natsu, although fiery, was short, thin, and his aura seemed... somewhat softer than the others. Did Gray mention the height? Natsu was extremely short and in his state, too weak to defend himself from drunk idiots crawling out in the night.
Deciding that he was going to take the younger male home, Gray froze. When had their faces-? Misty cobalt eyes could see every freckle, every detail, every distant color that was glued on Natsu's round face. Their faces were mere inches apart and Gray was drowning in Natsu's gel onyx eyes; they were so big, so full like the moon, but so so dark... Where were's the kid's pupils? Maybe he wasn't drunk, maybe it was drugs. Gray sobered up and gave his ex student a stern look.
"Did you take anything?" the older man demanded and Natsu could not, to save his life, understand. Take what? Whatever, Gray has gorgeous eyes. "Natsu." Natsu couldn't hold in the gasp when Gray grabbed his wrists in a gentle but firm grasp. "Listen to me, did anyone give you pills?"
"Pills?" Natsu murmured. Pills pills pills...can you pay my pills... no, it's 'bills'. "I 'on't have any bills." Fuck, his mind was so foggy. Clogged up. Mushy. "Needa go home!" That's right. Natsu was having a harder time trying to keep his Scent at bay. He struggled to get away from Gray- damn this man! Clouding him like a shadow. "Lemme go!" Natsu broke through his clouded state long enough to glare at his teacher.
The music switched up in the background and the people dancing around the two of them switched their dancing in time with the new track. Someone swung their arm up and Natsu got hit with the limb. His feet shuffled forward to stay balanced, and he found himself closer to Gray once again. "Ahh nnnn-mhm-" the pinkette whimpered and his body pulsed, painfully throbbing to the extent where he almost let go of his Scent. "Graaaay!" Natsu didn't realize tears were streaming down his face as he lifted it up to gaze at Gray pleadingly. Fuck, he couldn't-
Natsu gasped when his body pulsed again, but this time the pulsation came between his thighs. A slick stream began to trickle at his closed seams and he sobbed, clenching his legs together more firmly. Gray still held onto his wrists and raised them up slightly, tugging Natsu closer. A frown graced the Alpha's pale lips. Something wasn't right. The air was sifting. Something sweet was beginning to linger in the air. Pairs of eyes were starting to gaze at them like a domino effect...
Natsu shuddered and folded in on himself, his body brushing Gray's. He was losing the battle, and he was losing fast. "I-I can't-" what was he trying to say?
"Natsu-" Gray's frosty breath, cool mint breezed across the shell of Natsu's ear.
Snap.
Gray's eyes widened as the Scent of the Omega hit him and drowned him in a blanket of honey vanilla mint. Lavender caused his vision to flicker. Melted bronze short circuted his mind. The pinkette trembling in front of him... Mine. The pinkette drowning in his clothes. Want. The pinkette panting brokenly. Mate.
Natsu never experienced a pain so intense as this, pleasure so erotic like this. The stream between his thighs was now a flood; his black ankle jean shorts were damp. His crisp white shirt that was three sizes too large slipped off his shoulder. Gray's hands covering his wrists was like a short term antidote. He wanted those hands all over his body, he wanted those hands to ease his pain. Natsu's mind was no longer his; it had broken free and taken over him. Natsu dropped to the floor and laid himself on his back. By this point everyone in the club had stopped all movement. The music continued to play but everyone was silent, their eyes locked on the pinkette displaying himself on the ground.
"Wh-what the hell is he doing?!" a blonde with crystalline blue eyes demanded, voice thick with worry, concern, and... lust?
Ruby gem eyes flickered with an unknown emotion when he heard the lust in his best friend's tone. If he thought he had a chance with the blonde, he knows now it's completely useless. Their best friend was an Omega. How, Rogue Redfox doesn't know. Natsu... Natsu always was different but Rogue never imagined something like this... Enough pondering for now, Natsu needed help now. The idiot was submitting in a club full of Alphas and Rogue will admit his pink haired friend's Scent is much stronger than any Omega he's ever encountered but with a Scent so sweet, so heavy with sex and alluring, Rogue needed to get him out of here. But wait... Rogue froze as he finally recognized the guy Natsu was submitting to.
"Professor Fullbuster?" Rogue murmured to himself in questioning. It was though, that's exactly who Natsu was on ground before with his thighs open wide. Rogue closed his eyes in exasperation. Natsu... would never live to hear the end of this night. But now Rogue was in a predicament. Professor Gray was an Alpha but he was also an Alpha who was not easily swayed by Omega's Scents. The man could withold from his desire like a steel soldier but Natsu's Scent was starting to drive Rogue's Alpha insane... Maybe he should go get his pink haired friend- but then Gray swooped down and dragged Natsu up in a blur and disappeared through the throng of people. Rogue reached out his arm as if Natsu would magically come flying into his arms. And the people around him unfroze and flew after Gray in the direction he took. "Shit."
This idiot! Gray picked up his moaning student- ex student and now soon to be devoured student if the growls of the other Alphas gave any indication. "You moron!" Gray scorned Natsu as he flew out the club's doors, the Omega limp in his arms. "You don't just present yourself like that!"
"Hot... I'm so hot Gray!" Natsu clutched tight to Gray's shoulders as he was carried to the parking lot. "Please..." what the fuck was he begging for? Natsu vaguely heard noises that sounded suspiciously like growls but he was too far gone in Gray's arms, shrouding in Gray's wintery scent. He buried his face in Gray's neck and inhaled deeply. Oblivious to the way Gray momentarily stiffened up, Natsu sniffed at Gray's skin trying to define the Scent the Alpha owned. It was wintery, yes, but it was like a winter's night with a few inches of snow coloring the world in white. It was like the crisp air surrounding a bonfire, the air so clean the smoke of the bonfire immediately drowning in the coolness. Gray smelled fucking good, in other words.
Gray had many questions, all unanswered. The only person who could give them was the loopy as shit and horny as hell pinkette in his arms. "Jesus." the Alpha muttered and whisked his keys out of his pocket once they reached his car. His sleek, raven black Bentley EXP blinked, lighting the dark night and Gray quickly wrestled Natsu into the passenger seat. And he does mean wrestled, the damn Omega was whining needily and kept grabbing onto Gray's clothes. At one point during the struggle, Gray's Alpha nearly growled in its confinement when Natsu managed to roll his hips upward, brushing Gray's groin.
Gray slammed his door shut after he slipped in the driver's seat and started the car up just in time for one of the clubbing Alpha's to slam against his car. Pissed, but understanding at the same time, Gray freed his car from the other Alpha by making a very dangerous, sharp curve.
"Baby don't answer it." Acnologia pleaded as he continued to nibble at Zeref's pale, slender neck. The couple were in Zeref's bed frisking up the apartment before Natsu's return; however they kept getting interupted by an annoying phone call.
"Ah- I have to or- nnn- they'll keep c-calling me." Zeref replied softly, voice laced in pleasure and regret.
"Fine." Acnologia grumbled into the sweet tasting neck and pulled his lips off slightly while Zeref answered the phone. As soon as his boyfriend began talking to the caller, Acnologia dove back in, sinking his teeth into soft velvet flesh.
"AHH!" Zeref squealed before slapping his hand over his mouth. Face burning, he could only pray that Rogue wouldn't ask him-
"Zeref? Are you okay? What happened?"
Damn it. Acnologia grinned devilishly and wrapped his lips around Zeref's neck, sucking in deep.
"J-j-just f-fine- um, ahn, is there somethiNG- ahahaa ohhh- erm something I can help with?" Zeref struggled with his words but Rogue continued on.
"WHAT?!" Zeref snapped and shot upward, successfully breaking free of his boyfriend's mouth. "I'm on my way right now, don't move!" Acnologia caught his frantic boyfriend around the waist before he could catapolt off the bed.
"Where are we going shortie?" the Alpha asked and Zeref paused his panicky state to swell up with love as he stared at Acnologia. God this man was his rock, his everything. Without even knowing the situation and his lover will be beside him, no questions asked. Zeref stopped himself from further melting over his boyfriend and relaxed in the hold he was trapped in.
"Natsu went into heat."
...
The world is set onto a balanced scale. This balanced scale is known as the Dynamic A/O/B System or shortened to just the System. The weight of the System is carried by three Statuses: Alpha, Beta, and Omega. Imagine a balanced scale. The center is the Alpha. It's strong, sturdy, and dominates the role of a leader. It carries the Betas and Omegas which occupy the center's sides, Betas on the right and Omegas on the left. Betas are like the Alphas right hand side. They don't lead or take charge unless neccessary but they provide aid services, equal to of a secretary or assistant. Unlike Alphas who are solely dominant by nature, Betas can be either dominant or submissive. And then the Omegas. Omegas are very different from the higher up Statuses. They're soft and submissive, bending to the will of Alphas and Betas. This makes them the weakest and easiest to take advantage of, especially if they aren't Claimed.
Claimed meaning marked by an Alpha or Beta. The more dominant Statuses will protect the one they Claim from any harm just by having their scent on their Omega's body. That they the predator will know they are off limits and will back off. Most of the time at least. If someone were to ever try and Claim an Omega who was already Claimed, the consequence of their actions almost always results in death.
How does the System work? It begins with a baby. The whole 9 months progress. Hospitals and clinics naturally house nurses, doctors, pediatricians, etc. But then there's the Specialists. Very similar to pediatricians as they both monitor the child, however, the Specialists are assigned at the very beginning of a patient's pregnancy until the end when the child is born. The Specialists run tests over the baby still tucked in its mother's womb, anaylyzing it as it grows to determine what Status it will be in the System. Through the 9 months, the pregnant mother undergoes through tests and check ups generally three days a week in case there was a shift or something looked or felt different. The Specialists are precise with their work and are never wrong when they give the results. When the baby is born, so is their Status whether that may be Alpha, Beta, or Omega.
Now normally it's around the age of five when a child's Status traits begins to show. Some children grow into their Status quicker than others, some are late bloomers. The Dragneels set a good example for this.
Igneel and Crimson Dragneel, father and mother to Zeref and Natsu. When they were alive the two were absolutely smitten with each other even as they grew older. Crimson was sweet and caring, a very nurturing mother and sinful lover. She was funny and gravitated others around her close to her, dragging them in like a hypnotized moth to a blazing light source. She was a short woman, actually very short for a typical female Alpha, with a voluptuous figure. Her molted bronze skin glistened naturally and her waist length hair was thick and gleamed a lucious gel like shine. She was the light, the blazing warmth of the sun's rays itself. Her aura screamed out in addicting waves, catching the attention of those who soon became addicted to her presence. She was an Alpha. Pure, strong, and unwavering. She owned dark, alluring features and owned a clip tongue as sharp as she was, yet soft in a balanced way. Every Alpha had their own distinct Scent and Crimson's rolled off her thick body in waves of camp fire smoke, the crackling of a bonfire lit under a midnight sky, deliciously suffocating and warm. And although Crimson was a lovable being as well as the softest mother and a caramelized starfire to her husband, she was still an Alpha. And like every female Alpha in the Dragneel family, Crimson owned a temper equal to that of an enraged goddess. She only had to prove herself once to let it be known she was not one to test with.
When Crimson gave birth to Zeref, she was not surprised when her Specialist informed her that he was an Omega. Igneel hadn't even batted a lash. See, the Dragneel bloodline was a unique system, a cycle even, of its own. In each generation of the Dragneels, every female born was an Alpha and every male born was either a Beta or an Omega. There are no male Alphas in the Dragneel family and it's been that way for a long, long time now. Igneel was a Beta and when he married Crimson, it was he who dropped his last name and changed it to hers. Not only that but after knowing the sex of his child and knowing exactly who was carrying his first son... well. Of course he wasn't going to be a father to an Alpha. But none of that mattered to him because the moment Zeref opened his big, dark eyes, Igneel already felt like the proudest father. Three years later and Crimson repeated the process with Natsu. As soon as Crimson and Igneel learned they were having another son, they called their Specialist to cancel the rest of their scheduled appointments. There was no point in continuing the tests when Crimson knew her second child would also be an Omega. And true enough, when Natsu was born the Specialist confirmed their assumption to be true.
But the thing was, Natsu never bled the traits of an Omega, even as a child. In fact, Crimson saw a lot of herself in Natsu from when she was a child. He seemed to carry all of her traits and bad habits; loud, wild, headstrong. He even adopted her unusual hair color although his was more pink than red unlike hers which was like a cascaded waterfall of scorching lava that scalded down her back. Zeref was the prime example of an Omega. Crimson was for an Alpha. No one ever knew if Igneel was an Alpha or a Beta because he was in a calm, dominant neutral always, but Natsu; Natsu was a fireball and heated everything in his wake. He was a replica of Crimson and didn't seem to have any Omega traits. It was when Natsu first started creating his personality that Crimson saw the familiar traits she herself had as child flare from Natsu. Even so, Natsu added his own original spice to his personality which was that of a wildfire. He was unpredictable, uncontrollable, and untamed. Had his hair been red like his mother, the natural spikes that grow from his stubborn head might've looked like flames as the finishing touch. Igneel called Crimson his 'Starfire' and Crimson called Natsu her 'Spitfire'. But as happy as Crimson was to have a mini replica of herself, she and Igneel grew concerned. How was it that Natsu was an Omega when he didn't act a thing like Zeref?
As Natsu got older, his parents began to doubt his Status as an Omega and took him back to the Specialist. They ran multiple tests that day. When they left, Crimson was flushed pink with embarrassment for forgetting a very vital piece of detail about Omegas; their Scent. Growing up with mostly females, Crimson hardly paid attention to an Omegas Scent when she was always wrapped around Alphas and Betas. Every Status has its own Scent. Alphas normally have that strong smokey, nature Scent and Betas had the Scent of the promise of rain. Not too strong but subtle enough to identify a Beta. And then there were the Omegas. Sweet, honey-vanilla mint Omegas. The Scent of an Omega was like walking in a candy store. Walking past a bakery stall with delicious treats advertising against the glass window for all eyes to see.
But there's a funny catch to Scents. No, not even funny, it's quite simple really. Natsu, who was 6 at the time, demonstrating a perfect explanation. He did so unknowingly and under the Specialist's gentle order, but nonetheless. One of the tests was having Natsu and Crimson in a room together, and Crimson answering 'no' to the question if she smelled anything sweet. The second part to this test was removing Crimson from the room and putting a Beta nurse in it instead. The Specialist and Crimson were in another room where they could still see and smell everything in the testing room. Natsu was playing cars with the Beta nurse, oblivious to the intense gaze his mother was giving him. It took a moment but when it finally happened, the faint sugary Scent tingling the air, Crimson's eyes widened.
The Specialist continued on with the test and replaced the Beta nurse with an Omega one. Natsu's innocent Scent evaporated instantly. Because the two were of the same Status (Omegas) and no other dominating Scents of a Beta and Alpha weren't around, their Scents automatically concealed itself. "It's a defense mechanism," the Specialist explained, "Similar to a chameleon. It's common for Omegas to stick with each other and if they come across an Alpha or a Beta, their Scent blocks itself up so as not to give their Status away. Mostly un-mated Omegas do this, but it doesn't last long due to the over powering Scent of the 2 higher Statuses."
Crimson bristled, already wishing death on the idiot who would even think of harming her baby. The Specialist went on with the test, this time an Alpha nurse entering the room with Natsu. Crimson stepped closer to the glass as the Alpha sat on the ground across from her son and began interacting with him. A bright grin lit up Natsu's chubby face and then- Crimson froze. The Beta and Omega nurse had joined her and the Specialist in their room, and Crimson felt them tense up as well. The Specialist just hummed thoughtfully.
Lavender doused in honey mint drowned the room in its overwhelming Scent. "So strong..." one of the nurses had murmured but Crimson could not find her voice. How... how had she missed her son's Scent if it was this damn strong? As if listening in on her thoughts, the Specialist turned slightly towards the stunned mother.
"The reason I had you in there first was to show you that his Scent doesn't react to yours as you are his mother. A mother who comes from a line of Alphas so he is accustomed to it. As for him in school, he and the other kids won't react to one another's Scent for their minds are innocent and not at that maturity level. But it's not just that Mrs. Dragneel; Natsu is rejecting his Status subconsciously. And the more he rejects it the more his Scent will flare. And when he has his first Heat, it will be painful. If he continues to reject it as he gets older, his Scent will overpower itself and force him in a Broken Heat. You mustn't let it reach that level. Natsu must accept his Status. If he doesn't and he breaks into a Broken Heat, then all he's doing is putting a significant target on his back."
...
Zeref sat quietly in the passenger seat of his boyfriend's car, lost in the tornado of his thoughts. He's thought of an assumption on what happened with his brother but he's praying he's wrong for once. Slim chance but one could hope. See, Zeref is a pharmacist. His love for science and medicine fascinated him to the extent of him skipping two grades. He loved learning, he inhaled knowledge like Natsu inhaled attention. Natsu... there was a point in time when Zeref couldn't help but wish he was more like Natsu who was such a care free spirit and gobbled in attention. But he wasn't and he couldn't push himself to even try and go there. Natsu was serene, he was explosive and fear-free while Zeref was the complete opposite. Instead of playing outdoors, Zeref read. He liked imagining the stories into his own view and usually spaced out a lot due to him living in his head. In a sense, he took after Igneel more than Natsu while Natsu took after their mother. Quiet and shy, timid and closed off. Zeref never reached out to others first, he liked the wall of protection his shell provided him. While kids went to parks, Zeref went to the library. When kids went to movies, Zeref stayed curled up with his father on the couch watching documentaries while Natsu was out with their mother. Zeref was content staying within the walls of what he knew, the walls of comfort and safety his parents, mainly his father, provided.
That was all ripped away when his parents lost their lives in the car crash revolving a drunk driver. It was after they moved from their hometown Hargeon, a town small, cozy and comfy. But Igneel's job promoted him a position in Magnolia he couldn't let go so the Dragneels moved out of their hometown. Not only that but Crimson found Fairy Tail, a school branch that went all the way to University level. But what Crimson was mostly excited for was the fact that the school harboured three sports team, one of them being soccer, which is the sport Natsu displayed love for at a young age and excels at in the present time. Soccer was the main reason why Natsu fought to get into the all Alpha university Fairy Tail. More on that later, anyways. The family found a three story ranch house painted soft peach and equipped with a pearly white wrap around porch. Everything was going so right for the family, but all good things come to an end. An end that came to an abrupt too quickly, so fast that it was hard to grasp the tragic situation. Natsu was seven when they moved, Zeref ten. Natsu was fourteen when their parents died in the car crash, Zeref seventeen. The brothers were stunned at the news, not able to believe that their parents were suddenly gone from their lives, ripped away harshly by that drunk driver.
They ended up selling their beautiful house and housed with a relative until Zeref was old enough to take care of Natsu and himself. The money left behind for them was stored safely away in Zeref's bank account and when Natsu was old enough to handle his own, he split the amount equally. In the time of all of this, Zeref was in school for pharmacy and business. By the time Natsu was eighteen and Zeref twenty one, they had their own apartment as well as Zeref's drug store shop that resided below their home. And it was at this time that Natsu made his plan up for how he would get in Fairy Tail. When his mother read about Fairy Tail, she missed the part where the sports team was for the university only which shattered Natsu when he realized it...however. It was quite handy having a genius pharmacist as your brother, even if he did fret too much.
Zeref was no Specialist but as a pharmacist, he knew a lot of things about side effects and the extent of damage they can cause if tempered with. The day Crimson had Natsu tested, she almost had a heart attack after the Specialist warned her what would happen if Natsu continued rejecting his Status. But the powered determination Natsu constantly emitted with everything he did actively, Crimson couldn't bring herself to hammer it into her son that sports wasn't something for him and that he, as an Omega, shouldn't rough house as much as he did. But he was just having fun, no harm right? Wrong. Unbeknownst to his family, even to himself, Natsu's brain received mixed messages about his Status. His mind knew he was an Omega but his brain couldn't because his body was always moving like an Alpha's. However, when Natsu finally understood the System, he straight out rejected his Status therefore giving his brain the confirmation that he was an Alpha. Then there's the pills Zeref made for Natsu. With them, his body was confused and tried to adjust itself with the pills.
Natsu's plan for getting into Fairy Tail was masking his Status Scent in an Alpha's. Zeref was the gate key to this plan and had refused Natsu at first but his brother is very persuasive... he gets it from their mother. It wasn't just that, Zeref could see clear as day that Natsu was passionate about soccer and he was really really good at it too. So Zeref caved in and concocted up pills that masked Natsu's Status Scent and stopped his Heats. Zeref warned Natsu of the risks he was taking but was brushed off carelessly. Natsu got accepted into Fairy Tail and for the first few months Zeref was a complete worry mess. But as the days passed and trickled into months, and the months trickled into a new year, Zeref's anxiety slowly dissipated. Natsu appeared fine and the first school year was nearing to an end. But of course, all good things come to an end.
Which circles back to Zeref's assumption; the pills. Zeref did his research before creating those pills. Not research on how to make them, but research on what would the side affects be once he made them. His biggest concern was the Broken Heat but a few months after Natsu started taking the pills, Zeref calmed down somewhat. Besides, the Broken Heat was really the only concern so Zeref tried to simmer down his fretting. It wasn't like Natsu was doing this solely because he hated his Status; he studied hard to get accepted into Fairy Tail and worked his butt off to make the cut on the Zodiac, Fairy Tail's soccer team. Zeref supported his brother, he wanted him to be happy despite how irresponsible it was for someone, an Omega no less, to reject their Status. Zeref sighed and gazed out the window. Then that makes him even worse, for allowing it...
"Babe, don't worry your pretty self. It's sad to witness." Acnologia's gruff voice carried over to Zeref, making him look over at the driver. "Natsu can handle his own, you know this better than I do." Zeref smiled faintly and blushed softly when Acnologia connected their hands and brought Zeref's to his lips, brushing a soft kiss on his pale knuckles. Besides Zeref, Acnologia is the only other person who knows about Natsu's true identity. And while the two of them banter over Zeref like an over protective father (Natsu's role) and a possessive boyfriend (Acnologia's role) they are both in fact closer than what others might think. When Zeref fell into that dark hole during their parents' deaths, it was Acnologia who brought him back to the surface, and Natsu, although Zeref didn't completely strand him alone, was far more than grateful to Acnologia. And Acnologia managed to grow a soft spot for the spicy pinkette even though he pretends he can't stand Natsu. "He'll be fine. And I'll kick anyone's ass you want me to when we get there."
Zeref laughed and squeezed his boyfriend's hand tighter in gratitude. Feeling lighter, the Omega gazed back out the window silently sending his baby brother a message. I'm coming Natsu.
...
After scaling dust in the parking lot and getting Natsu a safe distance away from the club (or saving the club from Natsu's overbearing Scent) Gray was parked in front of a neglected alley with no idea on what to do next. Which is why now, currently, the young professor stared pleadingly at his best friend while standing on said best friend's porch with his ex horny student slumped against the crevice of his side.
"Freeeeed help me!" Gray hissed and shuffled to keep balance after Natsu melted further in his sluggish pose.
The green haired Omega, Freed, wore a horror stricken expression on his face and quickly yanked the two younger men through his doorway. "Jesus, don't keep standing out there, his Scent is flooding the block!" the beauty slammed the front door and locked it before stumbling back from the force of the pinkette's Scent. He could only gawk at the boy Gray held up, wondering how the hell he was releasing a fume so fucking strong. "What in the world happened? Is he yours?"
Gray shook his head while slipping a muscled arm around Natsu's waist. The boy was crumbling to the ground. "No, he's a student- well, used-to-be student of mine."
Freed's eyes painted the entirety of Natsu's body and frowned slightly. "Since when does Fairy Tail allow Omegas? Come on, lets move from here. His Heat is dousing my front room."
Gray scooped Natsu up in his arms, tired of the teen stumbling about. "No they don't. I don't know how he got in but he never came off as one to me. He was at Bicklow's club tonight and he bumped into me. Thought he took drugs or something but obviously that isn't the case. You should've seen him getting on the floor and Presenting himself to me... dumb ass was in a friggin' circle of Alphas."
Freed paused in the upstairs hallway and glanced back with wide eyes at the duo following him. "That's...a bit unusual." the green haired beauty murmured and studied Natsu for a few seconds who was making quiet noises before continuing on his way. "Come on, in the guest room. Put him on the bed and take off his clothes."
"Eh?" Gray stopped dead at the edge of the queen bed. Freed was already rushing in the room towards the bathroom. "What for?"
"Because he's in Heat? And from the looks of it, a Broken Heat."
...
"Broken Heat?" Zeref nodded as he and Sting slipped in Acnologia's car. Rogue was already in the back with his older brother Gajeel and their best friend Elfman. "What the fuck is that?"
"It's like a regular Heat except ten times worse. Natsu... it's a long story, see. Natsu has been taking pills that I've made for him to mask his Status, his Scent, and stripped his Heat cycles in order for him to get enrolled in Fairy Tail. He's here for soccer, you all know how crazy he is about it. But with his Status there was no way he would be let in."
"Ain't you a pharmacist though?" Gajeel's gruff voice cut in the air, "You had to have known about the side effects."
"Of course I did, I researched every possible negative outcome that would go with him taking my pills and the only major side effect was the Broken Heat. However, Natsu should have broken out in it within the first week or so, but he never did. I waited and waited but he was fine. So I let my guard down." Zeref explained, his voice unwavering slightly. It was due to his jitters and slight anxiety wondering where and how his brother was doing. The club was drowning in Natsu's sweet juices and the strong fumes blazing off Alphas. Acnologia reached over and captured his boyfriend's hand in comfort, which made Zeref's swelling panic simmer back down.
"Does it hurt?" Elfman asked, his voice heavy with concern.
Zeref let out a soft sigh. "It's pretty torturous I would say rather than painful. Right now Natsu's body is pulsing; having been stripped of what its natural Status is and its cycles, his body is out of control in Heat."
"Eh? So then it doesn't hurt?" Elfman pressed, still sounding confused.
Acnologia snorted. "He's hornier than a bitch in heat. His body is craving a hard fuck." Zeref gasped, Natsu's friends flushed, and jerked his head to face his unpertrubed boyfriend who shrugged his shoulders. "What? You know it's the truth babe."
"You don't have to put it like that though! He's still my baby brother Ac."
The man driving pursed his lips and took on a serious look surprising Zeref who was sure he would've received a smart ass reply. "Listen. I can smell his Scent everywhere on this road and everything we passed. Meaning he's leaking everywhere. He's not looking for no love making. Not even one hard fuck will substain him." Shallow crystal blue eyes gazed sideways at Zeref. "He needs an Alpha."
...
Gray stared at Natsu's nude form writhing on the bed, his caramel skin gleaming with sweat and his pink hair matted down, thick patches covering over one eye. Freed was leaned over the pinkette wiping a damp cloth down Natsu's neck. "H-hurts-" the boy panted out and a look of sympathy washed over Freed's face.
"I know I know..." and then Freed's face looked up and locked with Gray's. "He needs you."
Gray shook his head, clearing the misty fog that had been gathering. "I can't. That's not right, Freed, no matter how bad this Broken Heat is."
Freed sighed. Gray might be an Alpha but he held a tight hold on every Alpha instict he owned. "Fine. If it's consent you want it's consent you'll get."
However, before anything could be said or done, Natsu's eyes glazed over until they were a solid midnight color, his irises completely gone.
...
Both Gray and Freed froze as the Scent in the room intensified and Natsu stumbled out of the bed, chest heaving and his thick, meaty dick slapping against the swell of his thigh. His thigh that was coated in his sweet juices, the clear substance trickling down his legs front and back. Gray could only stare as the pinkette ambled towards him drunkenly, his face completely flushed red, lips pouty and slick, and eyes so unclear but blown wide, mimicking an owl's. Freed slipped out the room unnoticed and closed the door silently pressing his back against it for a few moments before peeling off and walked down the hall.
Gray waited too long. I'm sorry Gray. Freed thought as he tucked his long hair behind his ear and descended the stairs he'd reached just as he heard a distant thud. "But Natsu's an Omega in Broken Heat." And you no longer will deny him.
...
"Please~" Natsu rasped as he stumbled towards Gray giving the man a clear display of his body. His thick thighs, the dip of his hips, and slant of his ass that swelled into a bubble like shape. Miles of soft skin, burning and itching to be marked. The Alpha in Gray stirred violently. An unmarked beauty, an Omega so pure. Natsu glued himself to Gray as soon as he could and wrapped his arms around the older man's neck in a vice like grip. Gray's eyes darkened in color and Natsu's Scent twisted his awake until an icy Scent swirled the air, lacing with Natsu's. The pinkette mewled in pleasure as he gulped down the crisp Scent of Gray's before leaning up to press his feverish lips against Gray's. "Need you Gray~" Natsu moaned against those unresponsive lips.
The resolve Gray had kept up for so long finally crumbled. Natsu's legs left the floor as quick as he was thrown on the bed, Gray's heavy body glued to his through the whole process. Moaning, the pinkette instantly spread his legs and Gray slid in between them, sliding up until their groins fit together. Gray's eyes darkened when he felt the immense heat Natsu's dick flared off through his black jeans and growled softly. Natsu laced his legs around Gray's waist and tugged him close roughly and in return Gray leaned down and kissed him, sending both of their minds into a frenzie. They were blurs, dancing blurs that moved together in time and then out of rhythm, moving hard, wild.
Natsu sobbed from the sensations running inside of him, blazing his insides. Gray touched him everywhere, kissed him everywhere, tasted him everywhere. His body screamed, begged for more. Their skin on skin eased his pain. Gray's dick, thick and pulsing vibrated his insides. Natsu felt the man deep into his stomach.
...
Gray enjoyed the way those long slender fingers tugged his hair, pulling him in closer and closer. He loved the way those thick thighs quivered around his head, those toned legs draping down his back like a graceful waterfall. And he loved the devine tast of Natsu, the sweet delicious juices the Omega produced. Gray's face was wet, gleaming with Natsu's leakage, but Gray didn't mind; he only wanted more. Vaguely he heard Natsu mewl above him as he delved further, letting his tongue slide easily between the entrance walls and licking the sweet substance off the velvet crevice. Gray squeezed the bouncy globes of Natsu's ass, kneading them like a stress ball before spreading them apart, allowing his tongue deeper access. He felt Natsu's thighs quake even more and opened his eyes slightly. All Gray saw was skin, damp delicious skin. He yanked Natsu's ass closer until it rested on his face. Closing his eyes, Gray ate.
...
Laxus Dreyar was at first blind with rage when he came home to the heavy Scents of an Omega in Heat and an Alpha. He all but broke his front door down only to find his lover casually sipping from a glass full of wine while lounging on their living room love seat. And then Laxus was terribly confused and a little peeved off to hear the ruckus coming from upstairs echoing downstairs, and being informed that his damn friend Gray was screwing some Omega in their guest bedroom. However, once Freed, in great detail, explained the situation, Laxus calmed down and poured himself a glass. It wasn't long before their door was being abused with knocks, a very upset Dragneel standing on the other side.
...
"Ahh!" Natsu's lower half of his body rested entirely on Gray's lap while Gray hovered above the pinkette, hands pale as they gripped the bed's headboard frame while his trim hips moved in a blurry pace, his monstrous package disappearing in and out of Natsu's opening in flashes. Natsu gripped Gray's wrists that hung low from above and kept a tight lock with his legs wrapped around Gray's hips. And each time Natsu thought Gray's pace was slowing, he would squeeze the man's wrists and beg, "Don't stop."
...
Laxus had a long day. He had planned on coming home to his sanctuary, peaceful and free and full of Freed, but no. The blond hunk glared at all the occupants littered in his living room. Gajeel and Rogue Redfox sat on the sofa with Sting Eucliffe in the middle. Elfman had to excuse himself several times due to the noises on the second level and damn it, if that damn Acnologia won't stop groping Zeref's ass in front of him he's going to flip the bastard. Freed smiled sweetly at everyone from his position at Laxus's side.
"It was the only way. Gray's not a bad person." Freed spoke, gentle eyes locked onto Zeref's.
"I know I know... it's just, ugh." Zeref groaned softly. "His cover is blown now. He's in Heat and- and- and-"
"Fucking the brains out of his teacher." Gajeel supplied dryly. Zeref covered his face while the majority of the residence in the room glared at the older Redfox brother.
...
Gray spread his legs over Natsu's standing ones and grabbed a fistful of pink locks, yanking Natsu's head up while he thrusted in deep at the same time. Natsu whined, his body bent in a slender arch and his neck available for Gray to nibble on. Natsu collapsed on the bed, his chest pressing into the sheets while Gray continued to pound him in from behind.
...
Cobra had planned on going over to see what delicious creature was giving off such a strong Scent, but then he caught the Alpha Scent which slowly milled over the Omega. Damn, the sweet thing was Claimed already...
...
Natsu bounced viciously, the bed shaking under the force of his thrusts. His ample rear fit like a crater in the circle of Gray's legs, Gray's dick sliding between his jiggling cheeks. Neither of them realized four hours had passed already. Four hours turned into six, and six turned into seven. Gray had flipped Natsu over and the duo returned their heated missionary, skin hot touching each other and sticky from sweat. God knows how many times they've orgasmed but neither was spent. Not yet.
Natsu could feel his body release the tightness it once was swelled up with, making him feel like an uncomfortable balloon. However, there was something nagging his body, something missing that he felt...
...
"Oh my God!" Zeref jumped up in a clumsy jumble. "What if he Claims Natsu?!"
Silence overturned the room. And then-
Freed jumped up, scolding himself for not remembering such an important factor. Sure, fucking Natsu definitely eased the Broken Heat, but if Gray Claimed him- That's a chain locked for life.
Laxus and Acnologia had stood up as well and quickly followed their babes upstairs. They all froze halfway there when the house drowned in Natsu's screeching voice. "Oh no."
...
Natsu was too distracted from the taste of Gray's metallic blood in his mouth to notice a hot mouth on his own neck searching, test-tasting his skin, nibbling. But he clenched up when he felt those teeth, sharp and strong, rip into his neck. The pleasure, the pain, the hot blinding pleasure. Natsu arched into Gray's body and let out a cry full of anguish and lust.
...
Zeref tried not to wheeze against the closed door shielding his baby brother from him. "Oh God..."
Acnologia pressed an arm to the closed door directly above Zeref's bent head and used his other arm to wrap around Zeref's waist and tugged him to him gently.
"Oh God." both Laxus and Freed stared at the closed door.
The closed door that concealed new Claimed mates. Shit. A loooooooooooooooot of conversation would be happening tomorrow.
