Chapter Eight
Wingman Tomo because why not. Yes they're short chapters because honestly I'm losing interest here. I'm really only planning to finish off this and "Try Again, Sangonomiya Kokomi", seeing as I'm in the process of moving to AO3 and working on other projects.
"So, do you think he tried to scent you on purpose?" Gorou asked, looking up from his phone to pull a thick blanket up over himself on his end of the nest. He rested his head on his tail, which he'd brought up between his legs so he wouldn't lay on it. He lay curled up in a fetal position, his phone currently set on his tail while he spoke to his brother.
"Kaedehara is intelligent, I guess, but no, I doubt he was. Besides, isn't he like your best friend? You of all people should know he has more than enough decency to refrain from a cheap trick like mixing his clothes in with mine to get his scent on me." Scaramouche shrugged, glancing over to the shirt, which had been tossed against Gorou's wall. "I really don't think he's interested in me, Gorou. He seems pretty traditional and if you remember, to him, I'm still a beta."
Gorou tucked his tail up higher and wrapped his arms around the soft fur after setting his phone aside by the empty bowl of instant ramen. "I really wouldn't say that..."
"Inugami Gorou, what the hell do you mean?" Scaramouche propped himself up, his elbows on his pillow.
"Well, he sort of... figured it out?" Gorou sat up, setting his tail on his lap.
"How." Growled Scara breathlessly. It wasn't a question, nor was it a demand.
"Your scent. Betas don't have floral scents," Gorou just sort of offered a defeated shrug. "Even with the suppressant and scent blockers, he could still pick it out, sorry."
Scaramouche huffed and glared at the fabric. "Of course he could."
-Three days ago-
"Hey, Tomo." Kazuha greeted as he walked into the white room.
Tomo smiled and waved to his mothers and younger brother. "Hey, guys! How's the outside world?"
Beidou chuckled and shook her head. "The hospital's that boring, huh?"
"Well, seeing as I'm stuck here without my beloved Tama, yes." The alpha faked a pout and crossed his arms. "And besides, they told me I'd get out of here in a week. It's been three."
"That's because you're not ready to go home." Ningguang scolded, crossing her arms.
Tomo lightly groaned before turning his attention to his brother. "Oh? Did someone get himself a little omega?"
"No, why?" Kazuha seemed to glance out the window.
"Well first of all, you're using your hair to cover that blush, and two, you smell different. Is that Sakura blooms and musk?" Tomo inquired after their mothers had opted to go get some coffee.
"I mixed up some laundry with a kid at school. And I'm not really sure he even is an omega. He claims to be a beta."
"Oh please. Either he's wearing omegan perfume or he's one himself. I'm telling you, Kazu. No straight beta in their right mind smells like flowers." Tomo crossed his arms with a nod. "I can assure you you've found an omega. Now, the laundry trick, huh? I never pegged you to be a trickster to get your scent through."
"Tomo no!" Kazuha scolded, lightly hitting the other alpha on the head. "It was an accident. I was meaning to give it back, but he wasn't in his dorm room today."
"Omegas cluster, you know that right? He was probably with his friends." Tomo reasoned.
"He doesn't have any." Kazuha shrugged. "He's always just... alone. He seems pretty depressed all of the time."
"Sounds like an unmated omega to me." Chimed Tomo.
"Tomo! For the last time, I don't know if he is one. He didn't start smelling like one until a couple months ago. I've been in school with him since like elementary. His mother teaches at the high school, too."
"Wait, you don't mean Ms. Yae's kid, right?" Tomo asked. Ms. Yae hadn't exactly liked him in his time at the school, seeing as he unintentionally walked into her class too early and caught the omega grooming her tails, something that apparently foxes got pretty sensitive over. That or it was the fact that he made a lot of inappropriate jokes about the mayor of Inazuma, Raiden Ei.
"That's not important." Kazuha shot out quickly.
"Ooh so it is Raiden Scaramouche!" Tomo smirked evilly as he teased his little brother. "So, do you like him?"
"Yeah, do you? I'm intrigued to hear where this is going."
