Chapter Text
Omegas need a pack to remain as stress-free as they could, something to do with their ‘prey’ mentality
Society has long accepted omegas as equal so instead of seeing traits like these being something to explain why omegas were not cut for anything they would open more programs to counter those traits
Plus, 20 years ago another study came out saying how omegas in a pack benefited all the pack members and stopped alphas from going feral and when most heroes are alphas they don't need them to become feral
So they opened a program called S.M (statistically matching) where both omegas and alphas who needed a pack took a test and matched up by logistics!
Izuku saw the whole thing as a really cool and complex process, he's never taken it before but the questions have to be super specific for them to have around 98% of matching
But he didn't want a pack
He's studying to be a quirk analyst and living with heroes sounds cool and all but he doesn't want to be the center of attention–who knows what they might do to him to ease their ruts
He finds heroes awesome, but alphas scare him
So what if he always sees how omegas show signs of being happier in packs, what if their heats don't feel like you're living through hell
It's scary
Touching, sex, heat, being naked
Those thoughts made him scratch his skin nervously
Not all alphas obviously–
But he had enough of them
He moved into a new place just so he's able to attend this specific university that would make him be years into debt if he didn't have scholarships, but shit is fancy–sorry
And probably having a fancy university that prides itself in its A-grade students would not let him attend if he isn't in a pack
But he had to try! They had to see he doesn't need to depend on someone!
He graduated from UA in general studies at, the top of his class!
He took many scholarships, he was so good that the college didn't care about packs and–well they /have/ to accept him at this university!
Maybe they will look past his packless status and accept him!

“Sorry, but without you being in a pack, we are afraid you will get overwhelmed and miss school and hinder by our scores”
Izuku scowls and the school counselor is quick to change her tone
“I mean, we can see that wasn't–a problem for you in UA or college or the top agencies you've been in, but we are the number one university in japan, and we will try to follow what would the best for our students, and that means having a pack”
Izuku glanced at the picture frames of her being hugged by what it seems a pack, so she was an omega
“What if–for reasons, I can't be in a pack?” izuku tries to sound more sentimental
She noticed the way he fidgeted and stared at his neck where a claw scar peeked through his collar but he was too nervous to notice
“Im sorry, but no. Join the S.M program and find a pack before classes start, we will save your files, I will make sure of it” she makes sure to emphasize it, her face seemingly looked sympathetic and that's where izuku felt the gust of wind on his neck
A small gasp left his lip as he buttoned up all the buttons of his neck
“This isn't–”
“Its alright hon, those people who know what they're doing”
Hon
He didn't like being called that
She stood up and guided him to the door
He's not doing this! He's not getting a pack! He doesn't need anybody, he doesn't need alphas!
All he has to do is just–seem unhelpful like maybe this wasn't really for him and he is just broken–
Or maybe he is actually broken
No–he's/not/ broken. He's just..different because he was forced to be this way, and no matter how much he tries he can't be fixed again, does he even want to be fixed again?
He stares at the large building before sighing and entering, the woman at the university made a reservation for the same day for him because it was an emergency
An emergency to get laid?
I mean–that's what packs are for aren't they? To get laid and be used
He had a talk with the receptionist and gave his test, sitting next to the loud pack who seemed really close to each other, it made him question if they had an omega already and if they were here for a second one.
The papers say you can request more omegas and some may like joining a pack where it's not only them
Izuku knows how hard it can be to scent and clean and do..omegas duties for a full pack, of course, alphas don't clean after themselves
It was around 100 questions and izuku stood up from his chair the moment he finished, funnily enough, the pack did the same
They seemed like pro heroes, the strong builds and hints of bruises and bandages from their work
Izuku stared at the group before quickly averting his eyes and walking back to the receptionists, trying to ignore the ushering in between each other, and he prayed they never see each other again
“Do you have any PTSD or past we should be aware of?”
Izuku fidgeted
“No” he lies
He is /fine/ he doesn't need to be treated differently
In an instant he was paired with 3 packs that were there with him or he could come another day to have a better planning period but if this was a ‘dire’ situation he might as well do it now, saves on gas
Ochako and iida,todoroki and hanta, they were nice and very patient with him but they were looking for kids right there and then, that was an instant no but maybe if he wasn't broken he could've said yeah to them.
No, damn it izuku you're not broken, you're not ready for kids and you wouldn't have been able to pursue college while pupped
Momo and Jirou, are also patient and one of them seemed very rich, not interested in kids in the slightest, and more than happy to fund his college if scholarships weren't enough... there's always a but inst there? Momo, she was so close to crossing the line of the typical middle age alpha, even though she was not opposed to izuku going to college and/or having kids she was super strict on..everything
And her views pissed izuku off, for example, that omegas should present and have sex whenever they want to or not, after all, they are being financially supported
Big fucking no
And then now, the third pack should be coming in about–
The door bangs open and the room was instantly filled with yells and laughing
“Hey!” kirishima gave him a toothy smile
“Oh wow you're so pretty '' Denki circled him, which made izuku feel very uncomfortable. It seems the larger blond noticed and stopped Denki which..shocked izuku. It looks like the alpha was always quick to notice every little detail and fix it
For example, if an alpha got too close to izuku he would urge them back so izuku didn't feel overwhelmed
But no matter what he was doing the omega was still feeling way too panicky and maybe it was a 'prey' response, or the fact he was in the room with 3 alphas twice his size, even denki, the omega, was bigger and buffer than him
“His freckles!” mina squealed as she squished her cheeks and izuku fidgeted harder
“So? Where do we start?” the blond asked, it was the main alpha, the ones that have been putting everyone on the check to make sure the omega is comfortable
“...no, nope” izuku said plainly and the room stayed quiet
"I dont think I can do this"
