Without You -BakuDeku Omegaverse

~TWO~

"We have a test today, dumbass. Aizawa sent me to get you," Bakugou growled back, almost feeling threatened by the sudden dominance Midoriya tried to show him. He watched the small male falter, untangling himself from the blankets before setting them back neatly. His green eyes staying to his feet as he headed toward the door. Bakugou 'tsk'ed as he brushed past him, hurrying back to class without waiting for the Beta. He had no desire in showing submission to the smaller male. He did, however, sneak one glance to see Midoriya struggling to catch up. He snickered with a smirk, ducking into the classroom, taking his seat. Midoriya fell in seconds later, mumbling to the teacher before taking his seat, pulling out his pencil, slowing his breathing as Aizawa began to pass out the test. He'd been studying nonstop for weeks. He felt confidence as he opened his packet, digging into the work, blocking out everything in the room. Minus one thing. He could still smell strong caramel. But instead of causing a panic attack, the smell calmed him. He snuck a glance to Bakugo who had his body angled so his scent gland on his neck was facing Midoriya. Flushing, the green haired male turned back to the test, diving into the answers so he didn't think into Bakugou's sudden sign of affection too much. The caramel stuck with him the rest of the test.

"Time's up, pencils down," Aizawa's voice broke the silence, pencils smacking tables in unison. The caramel faded slowly as Bakugou curled himself back up, passing his test up with the others. Midoriya felt himself grow cold as Bakugou's scent faded back to its normal strength. It was certainly the strongest of the Alphas' to Midoriya. But he'd also known the blond for so long, the pair scenting a lot of kids to pack bond. It was something they'd seen Bakugou's parents do, rubbing each other's necks. It calmed the pair down, and let others know that the pair were together as much as they could be at ten years old. It was something the green-haired male missed the most.

He passed his test to Aizawa as the dark haired Alpha reached his desk.He gave Midoriya a subtle nod before telling everyone class was dismissed. Midoriya gave his teacher a smile in return, heading back to his makeshift nest on the roof as his chest tightened again, no caramel to keep him calm now.

After the final bell, Midoriya walked slowly to Bakugou's locker, picking at his nails as he walked. Usually Bakugou wasn't the worst when he and Midoriya fought. 'Preparing him to be tough' is what he always heard the blond tell the other Alphas when Midoriya came to school with bruises and cuts after they 'hung out'. Bakugou seemed to have something else on his mind today, and Midoriya knew that that meant he was just going to get the crap beat out of him.

The green haired male paused at his own locker to drop off his books, snagging his first aid kit, shoving it deep in the depths of his bag. He knew he'd need it after Bakugou decided he was done. Midoriya snuck a glance toward the Alpha's locker, catching a whiff of peppermint and earth tones. Todoroki and Kirishima. They fell in second and third in dominance behind Bakugou, their respect leading the trio to be friends. Midoriya knew he couldn't go over there while the other two Alphas were there. The casual scent made him anxious. But the three of them often released dominating pheromones that even the Betas couldn't handle. Sending them into panic attacks or Omegas into early heat. Neither of which Midoriya wanted around those three. He focused on his breathing as he slowly got everything he needed to take home, controlling the distress pheromones he knew his anxiety was emitting.

"Oi, nerd! You ready for training?" Bakugou called out across the hallway at Midoriya, causing the green-haired male to lose his grip on his bookbag, the bag dropping at his feet. He turned to face Bakugou, catching the smirks that fell on Todoroki and Kirishima.

"Ye-yeah" Midoriya nodded, grabbing his bag to loft it over his shoulder without breaking eye contact.

"First one there gets first hit," the blond Alpha grinned, his eyes bright as he took off down the hallway. Midoriya sighed, closing his locker, heading the same direction as Bakugou before veering off into the woods, a shortcut he'd been marking for months. He walked in the trees, inhaling the earthy scents as he walked. It smelled like rain. He picked up his pace, wanting to avoid a rain shower. He could smell caramel as he broke the tree-line, catching a glimpse of blond hair, not moving. Midoriya peered around the bush to see the alpha making out with one of the other Betas in the school. He took off running toward Bakugou's house before the Alpha could smell his distress pheromones. Midoriya knew Bakugou would be pissed at him for spying if he got caught.
