Izuku Midoriya

Izuku did not know what came over him, a sudden spark of confidence made his ego swell and he began to tease Bakugou. That stupid comment he had made about Bakugou 'trying not to kiss him again.' had been so stupid, it did seem to get under Bakugou's skin though. The rest of the night Bakugou did not speak to him and he kept catching the blonde sneaking glances at him. It only fueled his confidence more and he would find himself grinning widely at the thought of getting Bakugou flustered. There was a tension in the air between the two boys, Bakugou was not talking to him and for some reason, guilt flooded his system and for a moment he thought he had made a mistake by getting overly cocky. He probably over-calculated and made assumptions about the way the alpha thought about him. He probably really did not like the forwardness the omega had expressed and it might have pushed what little of a friendship they had too far too soon.

The next two days were busy and strenuous. Their location had been attacked twice in one day and they had managed to take down the robots with ease, avoiding any major injuries. Izuku noticed that Bakugou avoided using his right arm, witch was weird because that was the side Bakugou normally swung with first. Izuku found himself watching the blonde more carefully than usual, he seemed stiff and cold. It made the younger boy upset thinking that something was wrong with Bakugou, but he did not know how to bring it up considering that the two have not shared many words since that first night. Bakugou would cook dinner and Izuku would compliment his cooking and try and make small talk, a fruitless endeavor really, Bakugou had never been one for small talk, but Izuku still tried.

On the third day, Izuku was starting to feel the effects of the scent mark wearing off. He desperately wanted to be scented by the alpha again but his and the alpha's current state was deterrence enough for the omega to not make any conversation towards scenting. Bakugou still was not speaking to him much and he began to seriously think he fucked up with the teasing he had expressed. Izuku thought that it would have helped their relationship some, maybe Bakugou would loosen up and start to get a bit more comfortable with him. It felt weird that the only relations the two had were a fond history, scenting, and the two heated make-out sessions they shared from the intimacy that scenting created in the moment. Izuku did want more with Bakugou, he wanted to be able to talk to him, get to know him more, and have time sort out his conflicting feelings towards the alpha. 

As day 4 rolled around and passed into night, Izuku was jittery from the lack of conversation, attention, and scenting. Izuku still could see that Bakugou was being oddly careful with his right arm and Izuku noticed a slight swelling in the blonde's shoulder. The boy's green eyes narrowed as he watched Bakugou walk around the kitchen are dinner. There was something going on with the alpha and he was not telling Izuku about it. They were partners in this training, he should be open with him and let him know if he was hurt. Feeling a bit more confident, Izuku got up and walked over behind Bakugou in the kitchen, and without hesitation he reached out poked the alpha's shoulder, applying some pressure.  

The alpha jerked and hissed out, in obvious pain.

"What the fuck, Deku!" The alpha turned around glaring and gritting his teeth, his left arm coming up to hold his shoulder.

"You're hurt and you didn't tell me." Izuku replied and crossed his arms, slightly annoyed.

"What's it to you?" Bakugou spat and walked off into the bathroom, Izuku at his tail. The boy pushed open the bathroom door, slipping inside before the blonde could protest.

"Get out. I wanna shower." Bakugou sneered and Izuku glared back.

"What is wrong with your shoulder, Kacchan?" Izuku insisted and leaned in to look closer and Bakugou shoved the boy away. Izuku stumbled back into the bathroom door and huffed.

"Get out." Bakugou gritted out and Izuku felt his face fall some. He was actually really worried about the blonde but he was being so difficult.

"Not until you let me look at your shoulder, Kacchan. You're hurt and I have noticed it for days." Izuku said a bit softer and started walking back towards the alpha.

"Deku, I am warning you. Get out." The alpha said, authority ringing in his voice and his glare was piercing towards Izuku's direction. Izuku did not stop, he kept approaching and Izuku swore he saw a flicker of confusion and sadness on the blonde's face before he gritted his teeth again and growled. Izuku paused after hearing the growl but only frowned and crossed his arms.

"Kacchan... I'm worried..." Izuku said and reached froward to try and feel at the slight swelling of Bakugou's shoulder. Bakugou shoved his hand away and growled lowly and Izuku stiffened when he could now smell alpha pheromones in the air. What is Bakugou doing? He has never been this cold and shut off since... since that day when Bakugou told Izuku he presented as an alpha. What is going on here. Bakugou must have noticed Izuku's hesitation because his glare deepened. Izuku tried to brush off the thickly sweet pheromones that tickled his nose and made him want to obey. He pushed them away with a struggle and Bakugou growled louder, causing Izuku to shiver, but he still moved froward again. The need to find some way to get through to Bakugou, powering him to overcome the scents in the air.

"T-that isn't going to work this time, Kacchan... I want to help. Let me help." Izuku said and Bakugou seemed to get frustrated that the omega was not listening to him.

"Get out, now. I don't want your shitty help. Leave." Bakugou sneered and Izuku felt a frown pull at his face.

"N-no..." Izuku stuttered and watched as all restraint snapped in the very pissed off alpha in the small bathroom. The omega's eyes widened in fear, he had never witnessed this before, an alpha snapping all control and giving into instinct. The blonde took a wide step forward, getting right in the shorter boy's face. Izuku backed up and stumbled into the door again. He had never been really afraid of Bakugou before, sure he knew the hot head had an attitude and short temper, but Izuku was never afraid. Until now.

"W-what..." Izuku gasped and Bakugou glared right into his eye and did something that Izuku never would have predicted.

"Get. Out." Bakugou used his alpha voice, something all alphas can do that will basically force any omega to obey, even other betas and alphas can fall susceptible to this commanding voice. Immediately the omega's eyes went soft and his body relaxed. Izuku found himself bowing his head.

"Yes, Alpha." the boy said in a sluggish tone and turned around, with no control of his body, and walked out of the bathroom, shutting the door behind him. Almost immediately after the door shut, Izuku snapped back into control. He gasped and grabbed at his chest. His heart was beating out of control and he felt tears in his eyes. Being under an alpha command was the most vulnerable feeling a person could experience. The total lack of control and inability to make your own choices left Izuku feeling violated as he clutched to his chest where his heart was hammering. A small sob broke through his voice and he sank down to his knees in the floor, his body trembling in uncontrolled waves. The after-effects of having been under an alpha command for the first time wracked his body, leaving him weak and tired. He sat on his knees, head hung down, and just let his body calm down. It took a good 5 minutes for his breathing to return to normal, but by then Bakugou had walked out of the bathroom door and was standing there, a guilty expression on his face and his head hung in shame.

Izuku looked up from the floor and saw this state that Bakugou was in. Both boy's looked crushed and disheveled from all that. Bakugou looked away in shame, he sighed and pinched his eyes shut in frustration. Izuku wanted to say something but he could not get his voice to work, only a small sigh left his body. Bakugou knelt down and looked at the very timid looking omega on the floor beside him.

"I-Izuku... I... am so sorry." Bakugou managed to say before he looked away again. Izuku's ears perked up a bit at being called by his first name. He still was unable to really speak but he nodded his head. Izuku had never felt so vulnerable as he did then after that experience, and as much as he hated the thought, it left him a little afraid of the hot head. He was not mad at him though, it took a lot to make him mad, he just felt hurt that he would use his power over him like that.

"I fucked up..." Bakugou muttered and gently placed his finger on Izuku's chin, slowly pulling his face to look him in the eyes.

"I will never do that again. I swear." Bakugou said and Izuku believed him. There was an earnest look in his eyes that Izuku had never saw before today. Izuku only nodded his head again, a bit slower than before. Bakugou kept speaking, keeping his soft hold on Izuku's chin the whole time.

"I have just been really tense lately. I pulled something in my shoulder and you and I seemed to be on some weird terms or some shit. It's been fucking eating at me, and I just wanna scent you all the fucking time. Then you make some shitty comment about me kissing you and I got all fucking weird. I don't know what is going on here-" Bakugou jerked his thumb pointing between Izuku and himself, -" and it is freaking me out. I just don't want things to be weird anymore. I am sorry I snapped like that on you, I will never do that again... It was unacceptable." The younger boy listened intently to what the alpha was saying. He had never heard Bakugou really apologize before like this, it made a small smile pull at his lips, he leaned into the warmth of Bakugou's hand on his chin.

"I forgive you, Kacchan... I was just taken by surprise. I had never felt so vulnerable before...." Izuku said quietly and sighed. His face slowly returning to his normal smile.

"Kacchan... Will you scent me now?" Izuku asked quietly.

"I really need it too, you know? It's not just you that has been feeling tense." Izuku added and blushed, a small amount dusting his cheeks. Bakugou didn't answer, he only moved forward and brushed the green curls away from the boy's neck and nuzzled into the familiar skin. Izuku held still, holding back any noises that were threatening to break free from his chest. Finally, his body was relaxing as the sweet scent of Bakugou began mixing with the crisp apple and honey scent from Izuku. Bakugou thoroughly scented the omega and Izuku just held still, forcing himself to not move and make anything awkward or stepping over any lines they had made. After a few minutes of scenting, Izuku slowly put his hands on Bakugou's shoulders when he noticed that Bakugou was only now resting his head on the boy's shoulder. The two sat in silence for a while, enjoying the small gesture of affection and reconciliation between the two. The small moment was making up for their attitudes this week and Bakugou's outburst. It was enough, it took care of the lingering anger or sadness that was in both their eyes, replacing them with a warmth that was just enough to suffice, just enough to bring them back down to earth and surround them with a feeling of security again. 

Izuku began to let his mind wander. How long could they keep the scenting thing going before it really caused problems for them? Eventually they would both find mates and would have to stop. Eventually spring, winter, and summer break would come up and the two would be apart for long periods of time. Eventually they would break some boundary again and be in a more stickier situation. Briefly, the small idea of Bakugou being his mate paused in his mind. It would't be that bad having him for a mate. He already seems to enjoy his scent, he is attractive, and Bakugou seems to be kind of protective of him as well. Izuku pondered this for a while before Bakugou spoke up.

"I can practically hear you worrying about something, spill." The blonde said and pulled away from where his head was perched on his shoulder.

"It's nothing. I am just tired, we should get some sleep. We still have two more days here." Izuku said, hiding what he was really thinking about. Bakugou grunted and helped the omega to his feet before the both went to their separate beds, and muttered their 'good-nights' and eventually fell asleep. Something about today only reminded Izuku of how little he actually knew his blonde friend. He had changed since they were children, but it did not stop the gravitational pull that he felt words the boy. He wouldn't give up on his friend that easily. A small nagging voice filled his mind as he tried to sleep, a voice that kept bringing up the idea of 'what ifs' and 'who knows' when thinking about the hot headed alpha and the possibilities of being his mate.
