Izuku
Izuku: "I'm home!"
Iida: "Welcome back, Izuku."
Izuku: "Hey, Iida? Where is Mom?"
Iida: "She went to the main estate to check on Toshinori."
Izuku: "I see…"
Iida: "Anyway, your mother said dinner was ready."
Izuku: "Thanks. Care to join?"
Iida: "I’d like to."
I understand I’m supposed to be hiding… but…
Izuku: "Thank you for the food. I’m heading out, Iida."
Iida: "Your mother said she wants to accompany you if you leave."
Izuku: "I’ll be fine. I’m wearing scent blockers."
I head to my usual spot in the woods. There, in the clearing, someone waits. I hide behind a tree and see… Kacchan. He holds something in his hand.
Katsuki: "Deku…"
EEP! Does he know I’m here? No way!
Katsuki: "I can still smell your scent, even if it’s faint."
That’s right. I take another dose of scent blockers. He’s a pure alpha. Both parents are alphas. He has sharper senses than most.
Katsuki: "I hope you still come here… so I can give you this damn promise collar."
A promise collar… a collar an alpha gives to an omega, guaranteeing mating during their heat. A flush spreads across my face. He wants to be my mate, even after ten years. I remain hidden behind the tree, savoring the scent he emits. It’s hard to resist. My inner omega screams for him. Then, another scent drifts on the air – another omega. Someone else has been drawn here by his scent.
Katsuki: "Deku?"
Uraraka: "Who’s Deku?"
Katsuki: "Ugh. Wrong omega."
Uraraka: "Are you looking for a specific omega?"
Katsuki: "Yeah. Doesn’t matter anyway! It’s none of your damn business!"
He turns and walks away. Kacchan…
I emerge from my hiding spot, spotted by the other omega.
Uraraka: "Are you the omega he was looking for? Wait… I can’t even smell you."
Izuku: "I’m wearing scent blockers."
Uraraka: "Aren’t those… illegal?"
Izuku: "My name is Izuku Midoriya. And no, I’m not the omega he’s looking for. I’m… I’m an alpha."
Uraraka: "M… Midoriya? So you’re…"
Izuku: "Yes, the next head of the Midoriya family."
Uraraka He said it with such a sad expression. It squeezed my heart, such sincerity from a complete stranger. I know who he is because of Iida, but this isn’t the cold, calculating mafia heir I’ve heard about. This is… someone different.
Iida: "Uraraka… please consider it."
Uraraka: "I don’t want to be with some cocky, cold guy! I know it would help my family since I’m a useless omega. I’d prefer someone who actually loves me, though!"
Iida: "Just… at least enroll. Meet him yourself. You’ll be surprised."
Surprised indeed. I think he just stole my heart.
Izuku
Izuku: "I’m back, Iida!"
Inko: "Oh, thank goodness you’re okay! Izu, you know you should be more careful."
Izuku: "I know, Mom… the moon was just so pretty tonight."
Inko: "*sigh* Yes, it is. I just don’t want you to be hurt like your father was."
Izuku: "I know…"
Inko: "Well… you should go to bed. You have a lot of studying to do tomorrow. In a month, you’ll be going to school. We’ll find a way around this, Izu, for now just find some omega and pretend to fancy them."
Izuku: "Mom… what if… what if I were to be with an alpha from another mafia family?"
Inko: "*sigh*… Izuku… we can’t afford to lose our name. We’ll find something okay."
With that, she walked away. I guess I won’t be your mate, Kacchan…
