Izuku Midoriya

Senior year was killing me slowly, but somehow, I had managed to pass all my classes with good grades and maintain a somewhat decent social life. However, my physical health was on the decline. This heat I had last endured had proven just how much damage I have been doing to my body by suppressing my heats -- as well as being away from my mate for the past four years.

Mina was panicking. My screams were piercing and although the dorm rooms were mostly soundproof, Mina's Alpha hearing picked up on my agony and was frantic. I needed an Alpha around me - yet Mina was not able to help me.

I was used to her scent and although she was an Alpha, she had recently marked and mated. Her scent would do nothing for me now. Plus, her scenting me would make not only her uncomfortable but her mate as well.

After two days, the school nurse had come to see me. I had been told multiple times that what I was doing to my body was unhealthy over the past four years. Pumping my body full of heat suppressants must be causing damage, yet I wouldn't survive my heats if they came every 3 months like normal.

Although I have a mate out there waiting for me, I had been living a mateless life. The fact that I had spent 4 years away from Katsuki was taking a toll on my body and mind.

Thankfully, I had my good friends, Mina, Uraraka, and Shinso by my side -- most of the time.

I met Shinso a few months ago when I went into my most recent heat cycle. This one had hit with a brutal force that messed with me in more than just my usual physical and emotional pain. When my heat hit, I was in agony. Nothing that had previously made it bearable had been working.

"Mr. Midoriya, I am telling you this in all seriousness, I am not sure how much more your body can take of this kind of abuse..."

The university nurse was in my crowded dorm room. Mina and Uraraka both were standing close by as I sat in a pool of my own sweat and slick. This was the last thing I wanted right now. Although I had been able to think clearly - something I have managed to take control of over the last 4 years of fighting my own biology - I was still struggling to bite back the sobs.

"I know -- God I know this isn't healthy, but I have no choice!" I groaned and tugged my blanket up and around my chilled yet somehow still overheated body. It was not natural for me to be like this, but it was all I knew. It was all I could do while Katsuki wasn't with me.

"Son, you need to come off the suppressants. I know we have spoken about your situation, but this is only going to make you worse. How do you think your mate will feel when you can't have children someday?" 

Ouch.

Flinching back at her words, I knew it was the truth that I need to hear. I had heard it before and will probably hear it again before I see Katsuki again. His 18th birthday was only 2 months away and it couldn't come fast enough.

"I know, just -- Fuck, please help me?"

Shaking in my skin, my eyes are bloodshot, and my skin is dull yet flushed at the same time. I had tried everything to calm my heat symptoms own my own, hot baths, oils, I had even tried pacing my room to tire my body out.

Nothing was working anymore. After the first 24 hours, I had given up already in a fit of pain that I had never experienced before. Remembering how my body arched and ached for Katsuki while I had touched myself, only brought shame to me now. However, it was my last resort. I had given up fighting my urges -- I wanted relief from the pain.

"What can we do?" Mina's voice barely broke me out of my own head. The nurse shook her head and sighed before looking around the room.

"Does he have any alpha friends that are unmated? Maybe they can scent him for now, it will only be temporary, but it should sooth some of the physical pain. However, he won't like being scented by anyone other than his mate, it's his only choice." Uraraka whimpered from the corner of the room, her eyes blown wide at the sight of me. I know I looked rough, but I keep telling myself that I would never have to suffer through this kind of pain again. Because in 2 months Katsuki would come for me. I had to have faith that he would, at least.

"Shit, I had a feeling that would be our only option..." Mina cursed and I could tell she was agitated; her mate bond was fresh and being so close to an Omega in heat was making her uncomfortable. It was almost repulsing to her now that she had a mate.

"Is there anyone you know of that would be willing to help?" The next thing I know, Mina was leaving the room as I hit another painfully harsh wave of heat. The room was filled with shrills that I had my groaning and covering my ears. I had not realized that the screams were coming from my own lips. Along with the shaking and sweating, more slick was wetting my thighs and I clawed at my legs - digging my fingers into the flesh trying to ease the burning. The nurse had cold rags pressed to my forehead and chest, cold packs behind my neck as well, trying to cool my body temperature.

Almost 20 minutes later, Mina came rushing back into the room with another person trudging in behind her. The door slammed shut again making my eyes snap open as I breathed in the new scent.

Alpha.

The indigo haired Alpha stood stiffly as he breathed in sharply. My scent was reeking through the entire room. An involuntary hiss left my body as I pulled the covers up higher to hide my body. I didn't want another male seeing me in this state. I was vulnerable and have a mate of my own.

"Who... are you?"

I growled and stared at Mina accusingly. The female Alpha gritted her teeth and softened her eyes, a knowing and understanding look graced her features. She has a mate and could barely be in the room with me with how thick my scent was right now. How could she want me to comply with another Alpha scenting me while I had a mate?

"This is Shinso, hun. He is a biology major, he studies omegas and can control himself. You need an alpha to scent you, he was willing for research but he has yet to find his mate so he can do this for you. He can help you because I can't, love."

It hurts. Everything hurt.

Images of being pinned down by some strange Alpha while he forced his hands all over my body began to resurface. There was a reason why I only had female friends. I had been surprised that I was even able to make friends with Mina, considering she was an Alpha as well.

Being held down while some Alpha tries to force himself on me left mental scars that still affect me whenever I am around an Alpha I didn't know. Now I was in heat and a strange male was here to scent me, and my heart thumped wildly in my chest.

My head snapped to the side when Mina suddenly crouched down beside my bed, face scrunched up, and eyes soft with emotion.

"Izuku, he won't hurt you. We will stay in here the whole time to make sure nothing can happen; he just needs to scent you at least once a day and you should feel better. Can you do that, love? For us? For Katsuki?" His name perked my ears up but causes a pained whine to slip my lips. My eyes flickered over to the tired-looking Alpha by the door. His eyes were relaxed and curious -- he really wasn't affected by my heat at all?

"Okay." Whispering, I nodded my head and closed my eyes, willing the pain away along with all thoughts of how this oddly felt like cheating on Katsuki. Even if he didn't have a clue about our mating. However, I knew that he at least hasn't been sleeping around since I left. I would have been able to feel his betrayal on our bond; I am thankful that he hasn't unknowingly put me through that type of heartache. I couldn't handle that pain on top of this.

Not that I could judge him for it if he had unknowingly betrayed me. We have no relationship - only a faint bond that was formed way too quickly before I had to leave him not a week later. His 14-year-old self most likely left confused and hurt by my actions.

Shinso made his way over cautiously and began to speak soothing words to me, explaining every touch he makes along my wrists almost medically. He explained what he was doing as I fight back tears of both pleasure and pain. His touch both soothing and unwelcomed along my skin.

Yet I knew that it was working as his scent glands begin releasing along my wrists and he coaxed out my own scent while rubbing them together. Gritting my teeth, I fought back the small keens of pleasure that rolled through me while the scenting took place. Shinso was professional, calm, and relaxed as he scented my overheated body.

Soon, the calming effects took place, leaving my body limp and trembling on my bed. Shinso told me that I did well and that he would be back tomorrow. I vaguely remembered hearing Mina and Uraraka come over and tell me goodnight before my eyes closed and sleep took over.

The next 3 days were the same. I woke up drenched in my own sweat, barely made it to the shower before I sunk to the bottom of the tub as warm water sprayed down on me. I might have managed to have a very painful orgasm before I wobbled back to bed and wait for Shinso, the nurse, as well as my two friends to come to check on me.

I am not sure how much more I could take of this.

***

That had been one of the worst times of my life other than the night of my first heat. My body was still recovering a week later. I had trouble keeping down food and my sleep schedule was nonexistent.

However, I had seemed to hit my peak. The worse was over and my body began to relax after 2 weeks. I was eating normally again, sleeping better, and catching up in my classes.

The thought of being reunited with Katsuki caused me anxiety, but I was excited as well. Knowing that soon the pain that always lingered on my skin would be sated. Thoughts of finally being able to come home and be with my mother while building my relationship with Katsuki made it all seem worth it.

My brain only rarely conjured up the horrid images of Katsuki rejecting me, or worse, just never contacting me and ignoring me completely.

I did all this for him, I only hoped he understood how much it hurt me leaving him behind. I had only been told minor things about Katsuki's life while I have been away. The Bakugou family would only send an article of clothing with a short message that told me how he was doing that month.

I had been told when he broke his arm roughhousing with some other Alphas at school. I was told when he got the flu sophomore year of high school and when he got his first job. Knowing that my mate was still living a normal life made me happy, it comforted me when I was feeling low.

I could only hope that he gives me a chance to get to know him again and that he could forgive me for all the shit I put him through. I wanted nothing more than to make my Alpha happy and give him the life he deserved.  has been Lately, my Omegan nature had been preening for my mate's affection and love, making me wonder if Katsuki would ever be able to fall in love with me.

I was not in love with him yet, more so in love with the idea of us and the future we could have. Nonetheless, I would wait for him to discover my devotion to him when he would be ready for me.

"Please, Katsuki, I'm not sure how much longer I will survive being apart from you much longer," I whispered to myself.

Knowing Kat was my mate brought me comfort. He would feel the mating pull. We were soulmates predestined to be together by the moon goddess before we were born. As long as he doesn't reject me off the bat, he would eventually come to terms with our mating and hopefully fall in love with me as I plan on doing with him.

My body and soul were already desperate for his care after so long of this suffering by myself. I needed my mate. I needed my Alpha.

I may be older, but Katsuki would always be my Alpha.
