Izuku Midoriya 

It has been 5 days since Izuku and Bakugou had their talk, and things have been rough. Every time the two boys are in the same room, frustration and anger are thick in the air.

So thick, that other students are catching on that there is some kind of tension between the two boys.

Izuku been taking his suppressants daily and had been feeling kind of sick from them, it masked his scent but it also made him feel dizzy and tired. He brushed it off as just his body getting used to the new pills he was taking.

The combination of suppressants and birth control, probably throwing his already imbalanced body out of whack.

Izuku had been doing alright besides getting whiffs of Kacchan's scent every now and then.

He still smelled amazing to Izuku. Most nights he would lie in bed and think back to his childhood, trying to remember Kacchan and their time as friends. He never knew what actually happened and why Kacchan suddenly turned cold and began bullying him before he moved away.

Izuku never remembered anything of importance, only snippets of blurry imagery, consisting of the two boy's marching around the woods, or cuddling together for naps.

There were the few memories of the pair on trips together to the beach and memories of Izuku having sleep overs at Kacchan's house, drinking hot chocolate and watching All Might movies.

It never did help his emotions, it just gave him a feeling of comfort, reliving the good times the two boys had shared.

As the bell rang, and the class was released for the day, Izuku chose to go out for the night. A group of the students were going out on the town because it was a Friday. Todoroki invited him to tag along, and he agreed.

The group wanted to go to an arcade, instantly sparking Izuku's interest.

He had not been to an arcade in ages and was dying to have some fun. After all the individuals got ready, they all began on their way to the location. He was surprised to see that Bakugou was tagging along. Todoroki and Bakugou both had their driver's licence and were carpooling the group.

Izuku got stuck in the car with Todoroki, along with Uraraka and Mina. Kirishima and Kaminari rode with Bakugou.

"So, Izuku, what is going on with you and Bakugou? You two seem tense all the damn time." Todoroki asked and Izuku stammered, fumbling for an answer that seemed to fit.

"Uh, well... We kind of hashed out some of our past and were just not really on speaking terms for the time-being but hopefully soon it will blow over!" Izuku chirped and it seemed to appease the alpha driving the car, but Todoroki was not stupid.

He was the one there that day when Izuku went into heat, he pulled them apart and he knew the truth. Izuku is an omega and him and Bakugou are trying to get rid of the scent mark that they made.

The class had smelt the combination of Izuku and Bakugou on each of the boys, but they had lied and told the class that they had been sparring and accidentally rubbed scent glands. This was not hard to believe because it had happened to other sparring teams before. It happens quite frequently in sparring matches, especially when it ends in wrestling.

It was a smart plan, but Todo was smarter.

Todoroki and Kirishima had spoken about the situation a lot over the past week, they were surprised at how things had turned out and didn't really know why the boys were being so cold towards each other.

The truth was, the process of ridding a scent mark after a claim had been made was rough.

The two's pheromones were out of whack and they both were testy and temperamental all the time.

On top of that, Izuku was just starting his new medications and felt like he was gonna pass out all the time. The combination was not a good one, but he would do anything to get back on good terms with Bakugou.

When the two cars pulled into the lot in front of the arcade, they all cheered and started climbing out of the cars. Izuku was the last to get out and his eyes scanned the group, landing on Bakugou. H moved his eyes away and they all made their way into the building.

"I am so pumped, what should we do first?!" Mina cheered and some people laughed.

"We should play laser tag! A group of heroes-in-training should be the best type of laser tag war!" Kirishima beamed his toothy grin and Mina squealed. 

"That sounds awesome! Let's go do that!" Mina pulled the group to the laser tag sign up and we selected teams. Team A consisted of: Todoroki, Kaminari, and Uraraka. Team B was: Izuku, Bakugou, and Kirishima, and Mina.

This as the one time that Bakugou seemed to be excited for a game, his face lit up in a shit-eating grin.

"I'm gonna roast you damn nerds." Bakugou grinned and the group laughed

"Easy there Bakubro! We can't use quirks in here!" Kiri laughed and Bakugou rolled his eyes. 

"Duh, shitty hair." Bakugou grumbled and we all were ushered into a dark room.

The man running the game came inside and suited us up with LED vests and heavy laser guns. Our team was colored red, while Todo's team was blue. A man wearing a vest and ID tag came into the mini dark room and began to speak.

"Alright people, listen up! The game will last 30 minutes. Each team will be released on different floors to find a base location. It is dark inside these rooms. There are hiding spaces as well. If you are shot, your vest will blink for 1 minute. During this time you will not be able to shoot your gun. Protect your base, it has a sensor attached. It it is dealt enough damage by the opposing team, your team will lose the game! This area is off limits to quirks and you can not use physical combat either. Rely on your stealth and aiming accuracy. Enjoy the game and have fun on the battle field!" 

"Alright!"

"Let's do this!"

"Go red team!"

"I'm gonna crush you!"

"We're gonna win this!"

"Go blue team!"

The room was full of battle cries and everyone was excited and ready to show off our skills. A group of heroes-in-training from the top hero academy was sure to blow the socks off the spectators that could sit in rooms and watch the game.

"Red team, blue team! You get 5 minutes to set up on the floors. Red team you get the 2nd floor, blue team gets the 1st floor. On your mark, get set, GO!" The doors rumbled and parted open. Bakugou was in his element. Taking charge of the group he ushered us up to the second floor as our eyes adjusted.

"We need to find the base point and have a few people protecting it!" Izuku called as he ran a few feet behind Bakugou. Mina to his left and Kirishima to the right of Bakugou.

"Tck, sounds good. Izuku and I will hold the fort down, Mina and Kiri should go scout and take down the enemy. Mina, you're faster so if there is trouble you can run back and tell us!" Bakugou snapped out order and Izuku smirked.

Bakugou is just the same as he was as a kid, when it came to these games, he was in total control.

"Sounds like a plan!" Kiri said and Izuku spotted the glowing red target hanging from the ceiling in a back corner.

"Over there, that is out base. Let's go!" Izuku called and took off towards the base. Bakugou followed and they both squatted down behind a wall.

The room was pitch black other than some mirrors on the wall, tall walls with windows, black lights here and there, and some creepy music playing. It was all kind of funny, considering we are heroes-in-training and have literally held real guns before and spent hours in combat training.

Here we are, a lethal group of teens, playing laser tag.

A small chuckle brushed past Izuku's lips.

"What are you laughing at, nerd?" Bakugou growled lowly as he ducked beside the wall Izuku was behind.

Bakugou was now crouched behind him and leering over at Izuku. The green eyed boy blinked a few times and rolled his eyes at the alpha in charge.

"Nothing really, just this is funny, us being trained fighters and all." Izuku shrugged and looked around.

A loud gong run through the air and a voice called over the intercom.

"The game will begin in 5, 4, 3, 2,1, GO!" The man's voice called and Bakugou and Izuku went quiet.

Listening for the sound of feet. Mina and Kiri were scoping out the location, no doubtfully setting up sniper perches to pick off the rival team.

Mina was probably close by, well close enough to give up a heads up for the team getting near. It was quiet for a few minutes and then we could hear the sounds of the guns shooting.

There was some laughter and then the sounds of feet trampling through the area.

"One of us should try to get to the 1st floor, when Mina let's us know who she sees up here. If we can get their base then we automatically win." Izuku whispers over towards Bakugou.

He looked around and nods. 

"Yeah that would be ideal but we don't know where everyone is yet." Bakugou stated and Izuku hummed and nodded his head back.

The game lasted the entire 30 minutes, there was no winner. Both teams had solid plans and had both tried attacking the other's base but were quickly fought off. The game left the spectators speechless and the students were giddy with adrenaline. Bakugou was even smirking a little less angrily than usual.

The group spent the next hour playing games like pinball and and winning tickets for prizes. Izuku left with a stuffed bear and Mina left with handfuls of candy. Bakugou surprisingly gave his tickets to a small boy who was crying that he did not get enough tickets for the prize he wanted.

It left some of the group speechless and Izuku was smiling happily at the gesture.

Another memory came crashing down on him.

________________________________

Izuku and Bakugou were 7 and 8 years old. It was summer and Izuku got to go on family vacation with the Bakugou family to the beach.

It was a hot day and so Kacchan's mom bought the two boys an ice cream cone. When the two were running across the sand, Izuku tripped and dumped his ice cream in the sand. The younger boy was distraught and crying.

Bakugou ran over to the blubbering mess on a boy sitting in the sand and handed over his ice cream.

"Here Zuku, you can have mine." Bakugou smiled and ruffled Izuku's green locks of curls.

"Yo, Izuku. You zoned out on us man." Kirishima snapped his fingers and patted Izuku's shoulders.

Izuku jumped and shook his head.

"Y-yeah I am fine! Just lost my train of thought." He smiled and noticed Bakugou staring at him again.

His eyes looked stern but his face was lax with concern.

Izuku quickly started heading for the door and felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.

"Ngh!" Izuku groaned and staggered over, grabbing hold of some poor lady walking into the building.

"Midoriya!? Are you okay?" Kirishima said and the group rushed over to where the boy was at.

Izuku's ere were hazy and half-lidded. Izuku sunk down to his knees and wobbled.

"I-I think I am gonna pass out..." Izuku mumbled and Mina crouched down beside of him.

"You don't look to good." Mina said and looked at the group of alphas standing around them.

"What do we do?" She said, panic lacing her voice.

"Move." A voice said and Izuku felt two strong arms wrap around him before everything went black.

Izuku did not remember much after that. When he woke up, he was in a room he did not recognize.

The room was dark, the curtains blacking out any light that might be shining through the window, and the smell of caramel faintly around his body.

Izuku's head was fuzzy and he groaned, sitting up in a bed that was unfamiliar. There was the sound of running water in the room next door.

This room has a bathroom attached?

Izuku's thoughts were jumbled and he sat there in a daze, thinking about what happened at the arcade. He had passed out, he remembers that part, but how did he get here? Why did he pass out?

Izuku was so lost in his own head, he did not realize the hot headed alpha that walked out of the bathroom wearing grey joggers and a black tank-top.

His hair was dripping wet and a towel was laid around his shoulders. Izuku paused his thinking and took in the sight standing before him.

Bakugou was toned, each ripple of his abs shown through the tight top and his arms were just as evenly toned. Bakugou was not a huge and ripped man, but he was definitely firm looking.

He was only 17 after all.

"When you're done checking me out, can you tell me what the fuck happened back there?" Bakugou's voice rang through the air and Izuku jumped.

His face heated up and he ran his fingers through his messy hair.

"H-hi Kacchan." Izuku murmured. "Am I in your room?" He added after a short pause.

"Yeah, obviously." Bakugou grunted and sat down on the chair next to the bed.

"So what happened back there? You just fell, I kind of thought you might have went back into heat or something the way you just fell, but I did not smell anything so that's not it." Bakugou rambled and Izuku tilted his head. Bakugou never rambled.

"You're rambling." Izuku said softly and watched as Bakugou stiffened and turned his head, facing Izuku.

"Answer my question then, damn nerd." He growled and Izuku rolled his eyes.

"I don't really know, it may be my medication." Izuku said then froze up.

Fuck.

He shouldn't have said anything about that.

"What medication?" Bakugou asked and glared a bit more.

Izuku would see that Bakugou was sniffing the air, his face contorted and looked confused and then growled again.

"And why can't I smell you at all, nerd?" Bakugou looked upset and angry. Fear bubbled in Izuku's chest and he sighed and nervously fiddled with his hair.

"I-I am on scent blockers... Suppressants..." Izuku said and Bakugou gritted his teeth.

"Those things are not good for people, stupid Deku!" Bakugou leaned closer to the boy. 

"T-they have been making me kind of dizzy, but it may be that they are new, o-or it could be the combination of this and the birth control..." Izuku's face went red and Bakugou growled, catching Izuku off guard.

"So who are you fucking?" Bakugou sneered and Izuku's face went up a million shades of red.

"W-WHAT? I-I'm not having sex with anyone!" Izuku shouted and covered his face with his hands. This was so embarrassing.

"I-It is for my heats, who knows what could happen to me. I don't wanna wind up pregnant because of some stupid mistake. I am taking the suppressants so my heat will only come once ever 3 months." Izuku said from behind his hands.

"You're gonna stop taking the suppressants now." Bakugou said sternly and this caused Izuku's head to snap up.

"Excuse me?" Izuku said stunned.

Bakugou just glared back at him.

"They are not good for you. You passed out in the middle of an arcade and I had to carry you to the car and then here. You should not be taking them. So stop." Bakugou demanded and Izuku felt fire raise in him.

"You don't get to tell me what to do, Kacchan!" Izuku said and sat up straighter.

His head still feeling dizzy but not as bad. Bakugou just glared and growled a little, sending out his alpha pheromones in an attempt to subdue the snappy omega.

Izuku sniffed and shuddered, a small whimper left his lips.

Kacchan had such a powerful effect on him, he knew what he was doing, but he wasn't scared, he felt sad.

"K-Kacchan... stop that..." Izuku whispered sadly and Bakugou reined his scent back in slowly.

He looked just as confused as Izuku was and he growled again.

This time just out of confused frustration. Bakugou ran his fingers through his hair and sighed. Bakugou did this a lot when he was frustrated, Izuku remembered him doing it as a child when his homework was hard, or when he was grounded or did not get what he wanted.

"J-just stop taking the suppressants Deku, please..." Bakugou said and Izuku's eyes snapped up to his face. "I don't like what they are doing to you.... and I can't smell you anymore.... It's messed up, idiot."

Bakugou snapped at the last word, but before Izuku could protest his sudden demanding attitude, Bakugou leaned forward and sniffed at Izuku's neck again, almost testing to see if he could catch a scent.

Izuku's face flushed and Bakugou sighed against his skin before pulling away a bit.

"O-okay.." Izuku stammered out. "I will stop taking them..." Bakugou watched the boy and then grunted his approval before going back to towel drying his hair and putting product in it to hold it's spiky shape.

Izuku just watched him, that cold feeling of emptiness swirling his stomach again.

"K-Kacchan... Um...Have you been feeling weird lately?" Izuku muttered and instantly kicked himself mentally.

Too late now.

"Weird how?" Bakugou replied and Izuku knew that this would only cause trouble, but he needed answers.

He needed to know if Bakugou was feeling the same emptiness that was leaving Izuku feeling void all the time. Izuku instantly regretted saying anything, but for some reason he felt the need to share with Kacchan.

It wanted to know he was not alone in this.

"E-Ever since we stopped scenting and stuff, and we agreed to let the scent mark fade... I have been feeling really... um.. lonely is the only word that seems to fit the feeling. Like, I can't focus on things and I j-just wanna be c-close to you..." Izuku whispered and looked up at Bakugou.

His face had some weird expression on it. Pain?

No, it was something else.

He seemed to stare at the green eyed boy for a long time, his gaze flickering through emotions before he gritted his teeth, settling on a cold glare, aimed right towards Izuku.

"No, I haven't felt anything like that." Bakugou said and turned around, grabbing his running shoes off the floor and storming out of the room.

Izuku was stunned, his stomach coiled and for the first time, for some reason, the lonely feeling went away.

It was gone and was replaced by a stinging, nagging feeling of rejection.
