He had Bakugo to thank for him being able to interact with the redhead. Kirishima stuck to the beta like white on rice and Shinsou would not admit he was jealous. He had no reason to really, he recently joined the class a few months ago and he was fresh in the pack. Very fresh. Only like a month and being scented and having so many different pheromones attack his senses was overwhelming since it was something he wasn't used to. His quirk was a deterrent in his general studies classes and the class Alpha's threatened the other Omega's to not bond or interact with him so there was that. Everything changed once he was in the hero's course and he loved it. He loved every single moment here especially any time he got with Kirishima. Not that he will admit that out loud."Oi, eye bags come with us." Shinsou had once again spaced out giving Bakugo a look but following him nevertheless. He didn't feel like being snarky at the moment and besides his Omegan side was always pleased when with the Bakusquad because Kirishima was always around. He followed them to the common room and low and behold everyone was there. There was a puppy pile in the center while everyone else was doing their own thing. He hesitated for a second before slowly making his way to the pile where he caught Ochako's eyes "Toshi is here!" In three seconds he was pulled into the mess of limbs and was purring up a storm because the calming pheromones and scenting relaxes him and put him in a daze where he was purring up a storm and cuddling into the closest person to him. Him, Ochako, Jirou, Iida, Tsu and Koda were Omegas and always cuddles daily or sometimes multiple times. This was the third time today so that means someone is either in pre-heat or has been stressed. "Who's going into pre-heat or stressed?" He always voiced his concerns to see if maybe he needed to give one of them a little extra attention. "It's me, kero." Ah so it was Tsu. He maneuvered around a bit to drape himself around her with Koda on his back and Iida in his leg area some where. Everyone got comfy again and he was ready to fade out again. Not quite sleeping but, he would just be in a state of bliss. They stood like that until Tsu fell asleep and they all quietly moved beckoning to Shoji to grab her. He did as instructed and placed her on one of the couches wrapped in blankets. It was adorable. "Anyone wants to play games." The bakusquad and dekusquad -minus Tsu and him- jumped on the game playing. Everyone just about watched from various spots as they exchanged controllers going rounds. Kirishima lost for the third round in a row to Mina and threw his controller leaving the circle. To sit right next to Shinsou. Oh no. "I suck so bad at that game." Shinsou nodded his head in agreement. "Damn you couldn't even pretend just a little?" He shook his head with a smirk "That's not very manly to lie like that." Kirishima snorted before throwing an arm around him startling him. "I think this is why I like you, you don't lie that's so manly!" Anyone else said manly as much as Kirishima did he would avoid them at all costs. Kirishima is an exception to that though and no it has nothing to do with the crush he has on the red-head. Not at all. No influence whatsoever. "You're a cool person too." If he even says he likes him too his scent will not be able hide his feelings. It'll be a dead giveaway. He had to look away at the way he just beamed at him teeth and all. Oh God his heart."Wow! That means a lot coming from you because you don't say things you don't mean! Alright I'm doing something right." Hitoshi didn't know how to respond to this form of enthusiasm so he just nodded along. He expected the red head to move but was surprised when he stayed instead and started watching them play. It was getting a lot harder to ignore his instincts and not snuggle right up to him. He wanted to bury himself into his side but, he didn't want to embarrass himself. Maybe he's thinking too much and too hard because Kirishima is a touchy person and loves to hug and cuddle. Fuck it. "Of course." With that said he threw caution to the wind and snuggled into his side like how he wanted. He was warranted with Kiri making a surprised noise but, pulling him in to get more comfortable. He felt Kiri slide his hand down to around his waist and resting his hand by his hip "Are you comfy?" Shinsou was fighting not to make any kind of noise but, nodded his head nevertheless. Kiri satisfied squeezed his hip a bit and turned his attention back to the games being played. Shinsou noticed he wasn't playing anymore and was just watching the squads battle it out. Of course Bakugo was yelling profanities and getting excited. When Izuku got first place and he got second the only reason the whole common room has not blown up into smithereens was because Tsu and Ochako fell asleep on the couch using Tokoyami and Shoji as pillows. Thank Kami for the small blessings. "For someone with all these muscles you sure are comfortable and warm." Shinsou was in a half awake and half asleep state unaware of the effect he had on Kirishima. Meanwhile Kiri was trying in vain not to smother the teen in a hug and squeal. That would not be too Alpha like but, fuck it. What did it even mean to be an true Alpha? The ideals he read about didn't match what he believed. He grew up with traditional parents and he absolutely hated it. Housework, taking care of the family, and making money should be equal not specific roles designated for specific secondary genders. The whole thing was ludicrous. "Shhhhh." His face exploded in red as Shinsou turned and threw an arm and leg over him to get more comfortable. The only reason Kirishima didn't combust was because he didn't want to embarrass himself. "Thinking too much, hold me." Kirishima wasn't sure if this was sleepy talk or if he really wanted this. He thought about it for a few seconds before slowly wrapping his arms around. He was blessed with a light purr"It's about time." Kiri turned his head sharply but didn't move his body to keep from jostling the sleepy boy on him. He frowned at Katsuki who simply grinned at him. Kirishima decided Kats was not worth his energy right now. Shinsou deserved his energy. Kiri watched everyone around him start getting sleepy and maybe it was his nerves or the warm body of his crush on him but, he found himself slowly closing his eyes succumbing to the darkness------------------------------------------------When Shinsou woke up, it was silent. He was also very warm and comfy. He blinked his eyes slowly adjusting looking for a clock. He found it farther than he thought and it read 5:35AM. That's when a couple things hit him at once. He was not in his room, he was leaning against someone and they were very warm and cuddly. He chanced a look up and his eyes widen at the sleepy face of Eji. Holy shit, he fell asleep on him last night. Wait, he actually got sleep? Shinsou shifted to get more comfy looking up when the arm around his waist tightened. He looked into the sleepy eyes of Kirishima "Where, goin'?" Shinsou smirked at the sleepy talk. He glanced over at the clock and since it was Saturday morning, not even Deku was going to be up until at the earliest 9. He can afford to get some more shut eye. "Just getting comfy." Eji watched as Shinsou got back into a comfy position pressing a soft kiss to Kiri's chin. "Go back to sleep." Eji re-adjusted and within moments he was snoring again making Hitoshi giggle. When they're both more awake they'll have a talk but, for now he will just enjoy the cuddles with his favorite person.-----------------------------------------------------What are your thoughts?
