Shoto's P.O.V.
Choices. That's something I never thought I would have. Choices. I've always thought after I got my first heat, I'd be sold off to the highest bidder and that would be it. He would decide my fate. When I had children, how many, what to wear, what to eat. I wouldn't have these things called choices. I still don't, not really... but I've chosen school. I'm actually doing very well. I've gotten 100% on all my math homeworks, A's on my science quizzes. My homeschooling consisting of reading Fuyumi's hand me down books behind my father's back seems to have been comparable. School, real school not the omega classes… it… brings me real joy. Joy is something I've never really experienced before.
I also feel joy around Midoriya. I suppose that is what having a friend is. He's not doing as well in math, so we've been studying hard. He's gotten an education, on account of being here so long. But no one really seems to care if an omega gets an education at all and it seems he's only progressed this far because he's had to do Kirishima's homework for him for several years. I doubt anyone knows that information, maybe All Might knows, and that's how he's become a student aid. I'm not sure, but every time I bring up anything about that, he gets… squirrely. Like he doesn't want to tell me anything about it. I enjoy our friendship so much, but I feel a strain every time his new position is brought up.
I don't get it. Izuku worships All Might. I would have thought he would want to tell me everything about it. Every breath All Might took, every blink! But radio silence. Nothing at all. I asked him how it was and he merely replied "good". It's very unlike him. But maybe since All Might is involved he just is too excited to even tell me, he doesn't want to jinx it. Or maybe it's horrible and he doesn't want to tell me that either. That could be it. Anyways I mentioned that I sort of wanted to see the newest All Might documentary on TV tonight and he turned into a super fan again. He said we should get to the common room early, have popcorn, slushies, the whole nine. So that's what we're doing.
I think it's called cuddling. What Izuku and I are doing. He's lying in between my legs in my lap, popcorn in his lap as we watch the movie. I like it; this position. It feels… good. I've never cuddled with someone before. I've never really even been hugged. By Fuyumi a few times maybe. I rather like it, I think. Cuddling. I like playing with Izuku's soft curls in my hands.
"Mmm Shoto, that feels good." Izuku commented.
"Is this what having a friend is like? I can't say I've ever been so comfortable."
"It can be." I watched as the Alphas Mina and Momo walked by, both giving us strange looks.
"Did I do something to offend them?"
"Umm… well we're sort of in an… intimate position and omega intimacy is… something alphas don't exactly appreciate. It makes them uncomfortable. Like maybe they can't provide the comfort that we provide each other." My friend said, sitting up but remaining in my lap. I understood, and we probably should have separated based on that assumption alone but…
"I like it."
"Me too." He said with a blush. "I like you a lot, Shoto."
"And I, you, Izuku." I said with a smile.
"Can… can I try something?"
"Certainly."
"Okay… umm close your eyes." I did as instructed. Suddenly, I felt warm, soft lips against my own. I believe I was… being kissed. Oh. That was… quite nice. My friend pulled away and turned red as a tomato. "Oh wow."
"Wow indeed."
Izuku smiled and kissed me once more. "I like kissing you."
"Me too." I said with a heated redness filling my cheeks. Omega can kiss. They can have intimate bonds with one another. Of course that usually happens as den mates, but… we do share a living quarter. Though unusual that we don't share an alpha, there is a plan to in the most unusual way share our lives together. To be our respective alpha's beards as it was explained to me. This felt good. It felt right. I kissed him again, this time for a bit longer, before we heard whistling.
"Oh Kacchan." Midoriya blushed.
"Please… don't stop on my account." Katsuki said in a rather predatory way. Did he enjoy it? Seeing two omega together in this way?
"We can stop the documentary, did you need something? Dinner? Homework?" Izuku said nearly tripping over himself and me to get to Bakugo.
"Enjoy your make out session nerd, I was just looking for Shitty Hair, we're gonna grab some burgers then study."
"We can join you." I stated.
"You look pretty preoccupied two-tone." Two-tone?
"Kacchan."
"We'll bond er whatever when I get back." Katsuki said as he eyed my companion down the hallway.
"Right." The alpha left us and then we were alone again.
"I suppose we could finish the documentary. I didn't know All Might actually broke his arm in that fight. And I would like to attempt cuddling again…Izuku… Izuku?!" My friend was fanning his face, watching as his alpha left. His cheeks looked hot and he looked well… flushed.
"Huh?"
"Izuku… I ummm… I think we might need to go back to the den."
"Why?"
I looked at his slick soaked pajama pants and confirmed it. Maybe it was the kiss, or maybe seeing his alpha, maybe it was just time. Either way… there was no doubt about it. Izuku had started his first heat. "Let's get you out of here before the alphas notice." It's rude to go into heat around alphas that you aren't romantically affiliated with, not to mention dangerous.
"I feel hot." You're about to feel more than hot. Poor omega.
"Come on, we need to get you home." I picked his small body up and he let out a wail.
"What's going on?" he was clearly disoriented and beginning to hurt.
"You're going into heat."
"That's… impossible."
"Not impossible, just really unlikely."
"Owe." Yeah, owe. I took him to our shared room and did for him as my sister did for me my first heat. An ice pack for the forehead and a heating pad for the stomach.
The pain comes from your hips widening to prepare to accept a baby, your womb opening. Real organs physically rearranging themselves into a more fertile configuration. It's unreal, and almost unbearable to watch my new friend go through it. I think something is wrong. His pain got really bad. I tried to give him a heat toy but he wouldn't take it. I called Katsuki to no answer, I even called my companion to which I got an apology that Kacchan would not be coming to sooth.
Is that what being gay meant? That you can't even be there for your companion to give them a much needed knot? I guess I will keep that in mind for the spring. I focused on soothing as best I could but we both knew the pain won't subside until a knot is taken or the heat ends. For three days I watched my friend writhe in pain, feeding him ice chips as he cried out for his alpha. Heats are terrible things. I can only imagine what the spring will bring. By the end of it, I realized Izuku's pain was just too great, that he should be getting better, not worse. It was not a normal heat, nothing like I had ever experienced. So I called Recovery Girl. Concerned was an understatement. She sedated him and took him to her office. I just really hope Izuku will be okay. I don't know what I would do without him.
Izuku's P.O.V.
So much pain. I've never felt so much pain in my life. Not just physical but a mental one as well. Yearning. Needing an alpha. Needing Kacchan. And he was nowhere to be found. That hurt. That hurt a lot.
"Izuku?" Recovery Girl. I opened my eyes and looked around. I was in the infirmary.
"Hi." I squeaked, my throat dry.
"You gave us quite a scare, young omega."
"I… I had a heat."
"Yes, you did sonny, but this wasn't just a normal heat."
"It… wasn't?"
"It was a miracle you were even able to have a heat at all but it seems like your heats are very dangerous for you. You ruptured an ovary, your heats are in the category of violent. Without an alpha to sooth…we should probably attempt to medically suppress your heats, give you as few as possible." No, no! I finally got a heat. I can be with Kacchan now. You can't just take that away from me!
"My score, what was my fertility score?" Recovery Girl looked down, obviously saddened. "Please tell me."
"2.17." No, no way. Male Omega need at least a 5 to get pregnant in heat. A 2.17? I'll never be able to get pregnant, not even with fertility treatments! I'm as good as sterile. "Now you knew sterility was a possibility, Izuku."
"But I was able to have a heat!"
"And who knows if you'll be able to have another one, or if you even should. I think it's best if we work on a suppressant plan and follow it. It will be safer for you that way." I just got exactly what I wanted and now it's being ripped away. "Shoto is here. He's been here since I admitted you."
"What?" I looked over and just outside I recognized a head of red and white hair. "He's been here waiting?"
"He's been worried sick, even missed class to stay here with you." I've never had anyone… worried sick about me. I've never had anyone period. Yeah it was… predictable that Kacchan wouldn't be there for me, but Shoto was. He still is.
"Can I see him?"
"Of course, sonny. And once you get your bearings I'll go ahead and discharge you." Recovery Girl walked out and let Todoroki come in.
"You're okay!"
"You stayed."
"Why wouldn't I stay? Friends should stay, shouldn't they?"
"But no one ever has… stayed… for me." Shoto nodded, unsure of what to say. "Thank you."
"We missed math, and you missed your student aid session with All Might."
"I… can make it up."
"Let's get you home so you can get some rest."
"Okay." I nodded with a smile. He helped me out of bed and once I changed out of the hospital gown, he helped me make our way back to the dorm rooms. Kacchan and Kirishima were playing video games on the couch. They noticed me come in, but Kacchan didn't make any effort to move to see if I was okay. I should be used to it by now, but it still hurts. I was… hurt and Kacchan did nothing. Nothing at all. We got to our room and Todoroki helped me into bed.
As he helped me, I could tell something was on his mind.
"What are you thinking about?"
"You have to understand… I'm not used to having thoughts of my own."
"Yeah… I know Todoroki."
"I just… I don't think Katsuki is… the one for you." That stung… but it didn't hurt nearly as much as Kacchan not caring whether I lived or died just now.
"I told you, it's complicated." I said, touching my scrap of fabric I called a collar.
"Love… right." I love Kacchan. No matter what he does to me, I will always love him.
"You don't und-"
"Understand? No I don't. To voluntarily let someone treat you like that… I just don't get it. All in the name of love. A concept I still can't fully wrap my head around."
"Love makes you do crazy things."
"You know I'm not satisfied with that." Shoto said, crawling into bed with me.
"What are you doing?"
"I'd like to try more of that… cuddling thing. And you still-" Shoto wants to cuddle? With me? To cuddle with me. To touch me. I didn't need further explanation.
"No need to justify it, I was just wondering." I said, accepting his big spoon. I don't know what Shoto and I are, but I rather like it.
Kirishima's P.O.V.
"We have to do something."
"I think we're doing something right now."
"Bakugo… it was bad. Your companion went into heat and you did nothing."
My boyfriend stopped sucking my dick and looked up at me with a glare. "I'm under no obligation to do shit."
"Doesn't mean you shouldn't."
"Do you want this blowie or not?" I sort of went soft… really unlike me actually. "Well that answers that question…" Bakugo said getting up and wiping his hands.
"I'm sorry."
"You fuckin better be, asshole."
"Can we just talk for a second?"
"Not about Deku." I zipped up my pants and went and sat on my boyfriend's bed.
"Deku got his first heat, and you did nothing."
"Didn't I just say I didn't want to talk about Deku?" I ignored him and went straight to my point seeing as my boyfriend prefers that. I didn't want to sound like a dick but well…
"You know that now that he's had his first heat, he can like… actually have sex with us."
"Why do you want so badly for Deku to be in our sex life?"
"Because maybe we could actually have a sex life Bakugo! I want to have sex with you, like all the time! But we very obviously can't so this seems like the next best thing, doesn't it?" Bakugo rubbed his temples as he tried to be angry at me. We've been over this a hundred times and this is the only thing we keep coming back to. Maybe I'm stuck on it, but I don't know what else we can do. I want more. There was a knock on the door and there was a mute button pushed on the conversation as Katsuki went to go answer it.
"What?" It was very obviously Deku at the door.
"We have bonding time, we haven't done it all week, we'll get in trouble if we don't." He said coming in, obviously not very happy with my boyfriend. I mean he basically left him to die on what I heard was a brutal heat. I'd be a little annoyed too if I were him.
"I should go."
"Todoroki's waiting for you in our room." Deku nearly barked at me. Get out, my alpha. Yeah, yeah, I get it. I moved to get up and Bakugo stopped me.
"You want it so badly, you should be the one to ask. So ask."
I swallowed. "He's not exactly in the best way to hear it right now."
"Hear what?" Deku asked, starting to pick up around the room, getting the vacuum cleaner. I hesitated, but Bakugo pushed me forward.
"Okay, well uh… umm… we had a question for you."
"A question?"
"A proposition really." Deku suddenly dropped the attitude and his innocent green eyes turned concerned.
"What?"
"We… we want you to have sex with us." There, it's out there.
"You… what?" Deku looked at Katsuki who looked away. I guess it's up to me to explain too.
"Kat and I can't have sex."
"Yeah…"
"So we were hoping… during our ruts this spring… that you could…"
"Be your chew toy." Oh the look of Deku's disappointment. Kinda totally made me feel like shit.
"No! Not like that. Have like… a threesome with us." Deku blinked a few times… keeping his face unamused.
"Told you he wouldn't be into it." Bakugo mumbled. Deku's emotionless expression finally broke and he looked up to Katsuki with starry eyes.
"Kacchan… you… you want this too?"
Katsuki bit his cheek, growling a little as he did. "Look… we need some kinda relief for our ruts. The way I see it, yeah… a threesome is probably better than what we've been doing…" I saw the wheels turn in Midoriya's head. There was a dead silence as he thought about it. "Forget it." Bakugo finally muttered.
"What do I get in return?"
"Excuse me?" That was a bit shocking.
"You get soothed during your rut, and I get what exactly?"
"You get to have sex with me ya damn quirkless bitch!" Katsuki sneered, nearly strangling the omega before us.
"Kat! You gotta calm down!" I shouted, doing my best to calm the raging alpha.
"This fuckin-" he said into my chest as I pulled him away.
"I want a collar. A real one Kacchan."
"What?" Both my boyfriend and I asked in shock.
"You get something you want, I get something I want."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, that's not-"
"Hold on Kat." I pulled him over and whispered into his ear. "What's a two-dollar collar from the drug store? The poor kid has been wearing that stupid scrap of fabric for years…"
"You have got to be kidding me."
"Come on Katsuki."
"Fine." My boyfriend snarled.
"Alright… I'll think about it."
"You'll think about it?!"
"Yes. I will think about it." Midoriya said firmly. I guess he needs time to think then. I mean, yeah that makes sense… that he would need to think about it. We sorta just assumed he would jump on the opportunity but… alright. Okay… this is okay. Right?
