Work Text:
The world, while it is full of heroes. It is also full of dynamics.
No one truly knows how it started, but it’s assumed it started the same time quirks developed. There are three different roles in the world that have been named Alpha, Beta, and Omega. Soon enough, researchers and quirk users eventually did enough research to gather distinct information about each role.
Alpha: While they are superior it’s not the only trait. Alphas are required to scent their family once a week or any family. It would be preferred to scent an omega since well, society decided they need to be put in their place especially when they boosted primal urges. They control their primal urges. When their urges do get out they go into protection mode.
Beta: The middle of society. But they’re not balanced. They manage with Alphas but it’s not a surprise if they can’t hold back a growl or whimper. They control their primals urges. When their urges do get out they go into retreat mode.
Omega: The lowest in society. Not in the way you may think though. They are not considered weak. They’re considered feral. Needed to be tamed. It’s a law that you have to let an Omega’s feral side out for at least a few hours a week or they go into a hazy state. Alpha’s usually take the time to calm Omegas during their feral state before it evolves. They can control their primal urges unless it gets too much. When their urges do get out they go into attack mode.
Hazy State: It causes the Omega to be unaware yet guarded of their surroundings and go into an attack state before they shut down. They can’t really fall asleep but their eyes will appear cloudy and hazy with a faint moonlight glow during their shut down and attack mode. The hazy state will last several days depending on how fast it is caught and treated.
Attack Mode: During their attack state they will constantly attempt to attack anyone no matter their status. Anyone they consider a threat whether it be by movements or words they will be hyperaware.
Shut Down Mode: During their shut down mode they will be unable to stand, often having to lay down and be comforted. Except during those times they will refuse to be comforted and will constantly growl. It’s a miserable state for an omega to be in and it often causes pain.
Feral State: It makes Omegas reveal their hidden urges which consist of; wolf ears, tail, longer fangs, and claws. During their feral state they usually spend time outside in nature habitats. They usually play with other Omegas, it’s not a negative thing.
Alpha Suppressants: Alphas usually take them to control their temper before going in public making sure they don’t attempt anything harmful. It’s also harmful to your family without taking the suppressants. Without the suppressants hostile behavior will increase and therefore suppressants are mandatory to take.
Beta Suppressants: It keeps them in a calm state making sure their scent doesn’t go unbalanced or cause harm to themselves or others.
Omega Suppressants: Omegas don’t need suppressants. As long as they are properly taken care of and let their feral side a positive number of hours per day they aren’t required for suppressants and it’s considered illegal and unhealthy to forcefully suppress an Omegas feral state.
In all honesty, Shouto doesn’t know how much longer he can do this.
Ever since he presented, at the age of six he has been placed on alpha suppressants.
But he’s an omega. A pitiful omega, known for how feral they are. Tamable. His mother was a beta, Fuyumi was a beta. Natsuo was a beta.
Touya was an Alpha.
His old man was an alpha, of course.
His old man has been buying alpha suppressants for years and he uses them outside for hero work. Yet he never uses them when he’s home. And the aura? It hurts . Walking past him made Shouto want to curl up and whimper, he stopped that ( he was forced to stop ) at the age of 7.
The alpha suppressants? They hurt . They feel like they’re ripping his omega into submission, into being quiet. And everytime they fail to suppress his natural omega instincts his old man ups the dose. The doctors comply because of course the number one hero would need the strongest dose of alpha suppressants. Why would they ever question it? Who would have the guts to question it? (Those who do, they get paid off.)
He’s allowed to indulge in his feral state once every few months. It’s hard to fight the haze and urge to attack, yet he just swallows the suppressants and keeps moving.
He knows it won't last forever.
The world knows of his status, people just don’t dare to treat him as feral excluding the brave people due to his father.
He notices his feral side has been pushing, waiting to get out after being enclosed for shorter than ordered to. Ever since moving into the dorms he still keeps the once a month pattern. He never goes outside as he passes it by saying he has already been outside.
There are really no omegas in class 1-A so he really has no one who can detect his lies. Omegas are able to bring out the feral side faster when an urge tells them the person's side has been hidden too long. There’s barely any omegas in the school and even if they noticed the chance of them having the courage to face his glare and coax it out is enough.
He’s about to head to class and his vision clouds again with an overwhelming urge to attack.
Yet he swallows the pills and heads to class.
He sits in class occasionally blinking away any faint marks of haziness. He took the dose, he has the strongest dose. Why isn’t it working? I was hoping it would last longer, guess the old man forgot you can’t ever push away an urge...it only increases.
He tunes out Aizawa-Sensei due to focusing on repressing growls and whimpers of pain and the urge to absolutely bite Ojirou’s tai- No.
They eventually have to do hero training, he thankfully gets paired with Bakugou. Least it’ll give him a chance to maybe suppress it and at least tire it out?
Wrong.
They go on for multiple minutes using their quirks, yet his urges only increase.
Fuck.
He sends another wave of ice that Bakugou immediately explodes. The explosions that he’s normally familiar with and doesn’t react to instead makes his ears ring as haze clouds his vision.
And suddenly it’s his omega that’s in control and not him.
Bakugou knows damn well he’s observant as hell, well to the important fucking people and not extras of course. Maybe he glanced back a few times during class but ONLY because, well, why would he not want a chance to fuckin’ glare at Deku, heh, fun as shit.
So as he goes glare at fuckin’ Deku he sees Icy Hot’s eyes go all cloudy and shit before he fuckin’ blinks it away. Now Bakugou knows all about the fuckin’ Alpha, Beta, Omega shit. Knows his role as Alpha, protective bullshit. Comes with the job of the future number one hero. (He doesn’t protect fuckin’ Deku’s . His Beta ass can handle himself. No Bakugou would never call the fuckin’ nerd strong, he just...whatever! He’s a fuckin’ nerd!)
Bakugou has always knows something was up with fuckin’ Icy Hot bastard. Besides him being a secluded dumbass he’s never given Bakugou the urge to protect. Never given Bakugou’s alpha the urge to protect. Because one thing he’s noticed is that the fuckin’ candy cane bitch smells like alpha. How do the other alpha’s never notice? Blessed by being how awesome he fuckin’ is with a more than average smell range.
He finally gets competition when he gets paired with the Icy hot bastard and they go on for a good amount of fuckin’ time, which he’s one hundred and one percent positive he’s fuckin’ winning. Not a surprise obviously.
The fuckin Ice part of Icy Hot sends and Ice wave and Bakugou tsks because has the bastard not learned any new moves?! This is sports festival shit! Is he holding back?! Bakugou sends another explosion that causes debris and waits until the shitty smoke clears and his sweat builds up.
The smoke’s half way clear but then out of the smoke he sees the colors of the American flag fuckin’ lung at him.
“OI WHAT THE FUCK-” Bakugou yells which some students ignore because, typical Bakugou until what he says next has them whipping their heads.
Bakugou goes to yell again because what the actual fuck? Then he feels fangs. Sharper than normal fangs. Dig into his fucking shoulder.
“ARE YOU FUCKING BITING ME? ICY HOT BASTARD DON’T DIG YOUR DAMN CLAWS INTO ME!!!”
Aizawa-Sensei quickly uses his capture weapon to pull off Todoroki.
The smoke has completely cleared by now.
Bakugou looks to his shoulder to see several holes with fast oozing blood pouring out. There’s also a purple bruise where Todoroki clearly bit, indicating he was probably attempting to bite harder or ooze more blood out. There’s also multiple claw marks, not enough to scar but clearly bleeding.
The class gathered around to see the commotion.
Todoroki is hissing and thrashing in Aizawa-Sensei’s capture weapon. His feral side is clearly out, he has all the wolf features showing it’s clearly fully in control.
“Bakugou, go to recovery girl to get that treated.” Aizawa-Sensei says and Bakugou tsks before leaving with his signature stomping.
Before Bakugou gets to the exit of the training ground he yells over his shoulder.
“THE ICY HOT BASTARD IS ON ALPHA SUPPRESSANTS, CAN’T HIDE THE SCENT FROM ME BASTARD!”
Aizawa then turns his attention to his student. Aizawa hasn’t really cared too much about his role as an alpha, he knows he doesn’t have a strong sense of smelling range, he’s fine with that. Though in certain circumstances he wishes he had the stronger scenting ability.
Like being able to smell the fact that Todoroki is on alpha suppressants while being an omega. Not only that but it’s clearly obvious he hasn’t let his feral side out for a concerning amount of time for it to be this rouge.
“Class dismissed. Go to lunch, I'll be taking your classmate to the dorms.” Aizawa declares and gets multiple protests before Iida escorts them out.
Aizawa waits until they leave. He looks at the dual haired omega still thrashing clearly not in his hazy state yet.
He walks towards his student and automatically becomes the victim of the cloudy eyes with the moonlit glow.
“Problem children.” Aizawa grumbles as he maneuvers the feral omega to his dorm.
He is not very aware of things right now, all he knows is a lot of things hurt and he needs to attack. So, he attacks. He sees a figure mostly covered in black and being directed to change clothes. He can’t attack the figure without changing and leaving his dorm.
So he complies.
He finishes changing into a hoodie and shorts (he grabbed the shorts with the hold in them made specifically for omegas in their feral state to place their tail) when all of a sudden, he feels a change.
His feral state is going away and so is the attack mode of his hazy state. He’s going to shut down. He’s still halfway there so he drowsily opens the dorm door to a cloudy Aizawa-Sensei. Oh, that’s who the dressed in black figure was…
He whimpers as another pain goes through him yet he growls right after.
Aizawa-Sensei picks him up with one arm under his knees and the other under his armpits.
He thrashes and struggles as well as attempting to bite Aizawa-Sensei’s face off yet the teacher still keeps a firm hold.
He eventually scans the room through his cloud haze to see they’re in the common room and it has multiple blankets on the floor making a soft padding area in the middle of the couches. When’d that happen? Did he really take that long to change?
Aizawa-Sensei then lowers them both to the soft padding making them lay down, he then feels his teachers arms remove their place from carrying him to an alphas protective hold they usually do to omega that end up in their hazy state.
He thrashes weakly as his attack mode fades away being replaced with the shut down mode.
He whimpers yet he doesn’t growl due to how heavy the shut down mode is from not being allowed to have it all these years and it hits full force. He whines as the pain continuously comes, letting out pitiful noises that Todoroki would surely be able to suppress yet his omega can’t.
He gets enveloped in a protective and warm hold as tears leak through cloudy heterochromic eyes.
“We’ll make sure this is dealt with, you shouldn’t be on suppressants let alone alpha ones.” He hears a soothing voice speak and eventually recognizes it as Aizawa-Sensei.
The only language he can actually speak is in whines and different noises so he lets out a small whine along with a very faint purr.
He feels Aizawa-Sensei’s fingers card though his multiple colored locks while releasing protective alpha signals, making him let out a louder continuous purr. His eyes become lidded as the moonlight glow increases in his eyes, he feels on the brink of sleep yet he knows he won’t be asleep any time soon. Aizawa-Sensei massages his ears and nips them a few times with his fangs.
He sees a yellow blob being Aizawa-Sensei’s recognizable sleeping bag, he hears ruffling and then Aizawa-Sensei creating distance between them causing him to let out a whine.
Aizawa quickly gets in his sleeping bag before gently pulling his student into the sleeping bag with him and zipping it up. His student pauses before letting out a purr clearly enjoying the enclosed and comfortable space.
Shouto feels hazy, but now it feels like he’s floating on a cloud.
While the remaining class 1-A walks to the dorms is when the questions start coming up.
“Is Todobro okay?” Kirishima starts.
“I haven’t seen Shou do that before! He even had his wolfy form out!” Kaminari exclaims.
“Yea, Shou-chan doesn’t do that with us!” Hagakure adds and Jirou nods.
“The correct term is feral state Kaminari-kun! And from what I saw from my position it seemed that Todoroki-kun was suppressing his feral state for too long, requiring him to be forced into the first part of his hazy state!” Iida explains.
“Icy Hot bastard! Is he that fuckin’ dumb to suppress his shitty omega side?!” Bakugou yells from his place at the front.
“Bakugou-kun please watch your language as a future hero in training-!” Iida starts before he’s cut off.
“Shut up four eyes I do what I fuckin’ want!” Bakugou barks before he picks up the pace and leaves the remainder of class 1-A.
Excluding Mina, holding onto Bakugou’s arm as the ash blonde screeches and attempts to shake the pink hair off. Kirishima, attempting to cool down Bakugou when instead Bakugou releasing explosions from his left hand at Kirishima to not injure Mina, Kirishima hardens. Sero, vibing to music while casually leaving the class with a “This is the normal BakuSquad for you.”
Eventually class 1-A arrives at the dorm where Bakugou rips open the door and Iida complies to hold it open.
They shuffle into the common room and quickly pause.
They spot Todoroki and Aizawa-Sensei in the middle of the couches and the area is padded with blankets and pillows.
Todoroki’s ears are still out and they assume his tail must still be out. Aizawa-Sensei and Todoroki are both in the sleeping bag while Todoroki lets out a series of purrs and whines. They take another step and Todoroki directs his half lidded moonlit eyes towards the class, Todoroki lets out a weak growl. Aizawa-Sensei nips Todoroki’s ears and seems to tighten the hold on Todoroki which causes the omega to whine before relaxing again.
“Go up to your dorms for now, this will last for several days. In the meantime, be more cautious when you plan to come into the common room.” Aizawa-Sensei instructs, which leads the class to somewhat carefully making their way upstairs.
Most of Class 1-A, hopes their omega classmate will get better soon.
Shouto blinks as the last few hints of haziness goes away and his limbs feel more functional. His fangs have gone to their normal size and he no longer has his wolf ears or tail.
He’s still in the sleeping bag with Aizawa-Sensei 4 days later.
Aizawa-Sensei wakes up when he attempts to unzip and crawl out of the yellow sleeping bag.
“Problem child, we have a lot to discuss, for now your body along with your mind is still weak after how heavy your hazy state was so no training or school for a week. Change into casual clothing before we head to Nedzu to discuss this.” Aizawa-Sensei instructs and Shouto only nods his head.
Shouto and Aizawa-Sensei stand up and Shouto stumbles before gaining his balance and shakes his head to get rid of any haze.
He eventually arrives at his dorm and grabs clothes before going to take a shower.
Him and Aizawa-Sensei eventually arrive at Nedzu’s office and Shouto clenches his fist as Aizawa-Sensei opens the door and he walks in.
“Aizawa.” Nedzu greets and Aizawa-Sensei nods.
“I’ve recently discovered Todoroki being on a strong dose of alpha suppressants.” Aizawa-Sensei starts.
“These are illegal matters Aizawa, for us to move forward I need confirmation from your student.” Nedzu says and his expression doesn’t change.
Shouto nods his head, “My father...is not a good man.”
Shouto knows what he’s doing, yet a part of him doesn’t regret it.
