Katsuki was more prepared this time. He knew what was coming by the series of random cramps, random hot flashes, and random moments of 'I wanna fuck' the day before. Not only was Katsuki noticing signs in himself, but Izuku too.

The alpha was growing more and more protective over his omega. He growled when other alphas got too close, felt the need to try convincing Katsuki to stay off patrol for the day, and even almost fought a villain who decided to pick a fight with the omega.

Katsuki knew he should be upset that his boyfriend almost got in a pointless fight, but his inner omega was preening at his alpha's strength.

"Condoms, Deku. We need lots and lots of condoms." Katsuki said as the pair walked through the medical isle of the store. He was practically hanging off Izuku's arm, clinging to him for dear life as the first wave of heat drew nearer and nearer.

"See, Kacchan? This is what I'm nervous about. I'm not going to remember to use a condom." Izuku muttered. He rubbed the back of his neck as his nervous,  emerald eyes scanned the shelves for condoms.

"Well, I'm not going to be able to take my birth control pills." Katsuki reminded him. "Nor will I want to in two days. But the doctor said I have to survive a heat without an implant. This is the last fucking step in making sure everything is somewhat normal again."

"I know, Kacchan." Izuku breathed out. He picked up six or seven boxes of the brand they used last time then threw it in their cart, which had other items such as snacks for Katsuki. "What about one of those pills available for after heats with possible unwanted mating?"

"Doctor said no." Katsuki breathed out. Izuku groaned loudly. "Those things can make omegas depressed and shit. He said that anything capable of causing depression is a big no. Especially not omegan-specific depressions."

"Kacchan, what are we going to do?" Izuku asked. He was frowning as he stared down at his omega, who didn't look very comfortable with the conversation at hand. But they were running out of time with this one, and the risks were too high for them to be waiting for Katsuki to open up.

Katsuki knew this too, so he grabbed three of the nearest pregnancy tests then threw them into the cart. "Just to make sure." He muttered under his breath. The pair continued along. Katsuki grabbed some heavy duty pain killers, which he didn't use often, but there were still chances of his cramps being way too much.

"Kacchan, do you want kids one day?" Izuku inquired, his voice no more than a whisper.

"One day." Katsuki breathed out. There was no hesitation in his voice, which made Izuku perk up curiously. "But not anytime soon." Katsuki picked up a bottle of eyedrops. Izuku resisted the urge to snicker when he seen Katsuki just staring at it. He probably didn't even know what he picked up. Katsuki's hand started to shake a little, so Izuku took the bottle from his hand then put it back. "What about you?" Katsuki forced past his lips.

"One day." Izuku repeated Katsuki's words with a gentle smile. He gave his omega a swift kiss. Katsuki visibly relaxed.

Izuku stared at the ash blonde with wide, emerald eyes. The blonde was scarffing down food like no tomorrow, and Izuku couldn't believe his eyes. Never in a day of his life had he seen anyone eat like that. Katsuki ate as if he'd been starved for a week, and Izuku was mentally making sure he had been keeping his omega fed.

They were spending this heat at Izuku's place. It was Katsuki's idea. He didn't want to stay in the closet this time, preferring Izuku's openly large room instead. Izuku's inner alpha was honored that an omega wanted to stay in his home during a heat. They'd dropped Ryuu off at Denki's before heading to the store that morning.
