Chapter Text
Midoriya quickly shoved his laptop and charger into his bag. He was finally getting out of this place!
His heat ended up lasting 8 days, 8 days too long if you ask Midoriya. He was thrilled to get back to his friends and classes and he was already mulling over which muscle groups to work out and which type of combat training would be best to jump back into after his break.
He had to request a box to store all the nesting materials his class had brought him. Extra care was taken to neatly fold them so they wouldn’t be so crumpled or wrinkly when he returned them.
It felt awful to have to take apart his nest that he worked so hard on, but if it meant leaving sooner, then he was all for it.
“Hi, Midoriya, may I come in?” Came Nonaka’s voice.
“Come in.”
“We’re almost ready for your checkout,” Nonaka said as she entered the room. “However, you’ve still got some lingering heat scent so you’ll be required to wear a heat collar on school grounds. Do you have one? If not, we have one you can take with you.”
The greenette blinked in surprise. “Uh, no, I don’t have a heat collar.”
“That’s alright.” She fished around in her pocket for a moment before pulling out a plain black collar wrapped in plastic. “Here you go. Let me just finish your check-out and you’ll be all good to go.” She waved and exited his room.
Midriya took the collar in his hand and fumbled with the plastic before sliding it off.
The collar was a thick fabric with two long strips of foam, meant to go over the scent glands, and a thin plastic buckle at the back. It was black and plain, as one should expect from something given out by medical staff. He rubbed his thumbs over the foam. It was soft yet firm, comfortable but still able to soak up the scent. It slid over his neck and snapped in the back with a small click.
Midoriya adjusted the collar a bit, trying to center it over his glands in just the right way before finally letting go with a satisfied smile.
With his bag zipped shut, and the heat room left just as it was found, the omega eagerly left the room and beelined for the lobby. 8am! There was still enough time to take his stuff back to his dorm and make his first class in person.
As he entered the lobby, he saw some familiar faces.
Was that… his entire class?
“Deku, you’re out!” Uraraka called and waved her hand in the air excitedly.
It’s true. His entire class was there. All 18 of them!
He couldn’t help it. After over a week of being alone in heat he ran up the group, not an ounce of hesitation, and practically tackled Bakugou in a hug.
Alpha. The words resided in his mind as he clutched onto Bakugou like his life depended on it.
“What the fuck? Deku?” Bakugou yelled, but didn’t push him away.
“Alpha.” This time he said it aloud in a satisfied sigh.
Though Midoriya couldn’t see it, as his face was buried in Bakugou’s chest, the alpha’s cheeks flared red and his eyes went wide.
“Midoriya, are you quite alright?” Iida asked, putting a hand on the omega’s shoulder, not paying attention to the death glare now upon him from Bakugou.
Midoriya pulled away with a smile like the sun. “Yeah. I just missed you guys.”
“We missed you too!” Mina, Uraraka, Kirishima, Sero, and Kaminari all shouted at once.
There was a laugh from the desk. “Izuku Midoriya, you’re all checked out. You’ve still got class, but afterwards I’m sure your friends will be happy to keep you company. And be sure to come back if you have any other concerns.”
“I will.” Midoriya waved.
“Oh, and don’t forget the nesting materials your friends were so nice to have brought you.” Higashi said and he entered with the box of clothes and blankets.
“I got it!” Kirishima ran to the nurse and grabbed the box before heading back to the group.
“Alright, we have enough time to take Midoriya’s items to his dorm room and then go straight to class.” Iida announced and waved them all out of the building.
Midoriya practically skipped out of the building with Bakugou’s hand in his right and Iida’s in his left.
“So what was it like in there, Mido?” Mina asked.
“Boring.” He answered honestly. “I really miss classes in person, training, and just hanging out in the dorms with all of you.”
“Aww, we were missing you too. It’s just not the same without both the problem kids.” Mina snickered, expecting some retaliation from Bakugou, but instead the alpha in question was oddly quiet, staring at Midoriya like some kind of alien.
“I got an idea! Let’s run back to the dorms. Bet you’re ready to stretch those legs, huh, Midoriya?” Kaminari waved and began running.
Midoriya chuckled. “You’re right, I do need a run.” He let go off the alpha’s hands and began jogging down the pavement, oblivious to the effect it had on the two alphas. Within seconds, the entire class was running across campus which turned to a race. Midoriya had One For All Full Cowling active as he dashed over the cement and grass. With the wind and sun on his face and class beside him, he finally felt truly happy for the first time in over a week.
