A few days after their chat Lance felt a fever and remembered what the book said. He got out of bed and got to the communicator on the wall "Blue out of commission. Keep Shiro and Keith away" Keith smelled Lance and tried to follow it but Shiro stopped him "Keith, Lance is in heat. Or else he wouldn't ask us to stay away, If you go you might go feral on him" Coran but in "Exactly my boy and Lance out of any of us has to be careful cause of his secondary gender" Keith growled at Coran "are you saying cause he's an omega he shouldn't fight?" Coran held his hands up "Oh stars no! I'm just saying that we are aware of what happens to Altean male omegas when they are in heat. especially their first heat" Keith sighed "Sorry for snapping. What does happen? Lance was afraid of it" Coran looked to Allura and she nodded "Simply put in human terms... they get more feminine and that's most obvious in the chest area." Shiro was shocked and confused and Keith was trying to hold in laughter "I'm sorry for laughing but I can imagine Lance trying to hit on girls with a rack of his own" Shiro punched Keith in the arm "It's not funny! Human omegas have something similar, Adam was my omega and as you should remember was curvier than most of the other teachers. Thats why. Don't judge Lance for something he can't control" Keith sighed "Fine. Out of respect for Adam." Coran turned on the communicator and smiled "Blue I have some good news for you" Lance sighed "Yeah?" Coran sighed "Well apparently Humans go through something similar. Shiro just had to get Keith to relax before he jumped you" Lance panted "I knew that. I was adopted into a big family and a few of them were omegas and I saw the differences."
Keith went off to train and tried to fill his nose with his scent but Lance's scent was hypnotizing and before Keith knew what he was doing he was at Lance's room about to knock. If it wasn't for Hunk snapping him out he would have gone in there and forced himself on Lance for the scent alone "Keith bud stay away from Lance" Keith shook his head and looked at Hunk confused "Last I remember I was going to train" Lance heard Keith and curled up in the blanket. Hunk sighed "Scent coma. I heard of it never saw it." Keith sighed "Since I'm here anything I can do?" Hunk smiled slightly "Would you be willing to give up your jacket? It might help Lance and I'll make sure it's washed before I return it" Keith took off the jacket and sighed "Can't be helped. Omegas nest." Hunk smiled slightly "Yeah and he hates that he wants to do it. He has his blanket over his head as if that will ease the urge. From what Shiro told me if they have a mate they will get clingy instead of making the nests" Keith chuckled slightly "Yeah. Shiro and Adam spent so much time together that their things synced long ago." Lance tried to open the door but the touchpad flashed with some red letters as Lance started banging on the door "Keith~" Hunk got Keith away from the door "Go train. He's not thinking straight... He was never straight but you know what I mean." Keith smiled at that "Gay, an omega and a bottom~" he bit his lip and smirked "noted" Hunk face palmed "Keith keep that impulse in your pants. And I had to get help from Allura but I translated that info for ya" he got a device out of his pocket and gave it to Keith "If I were you I'd do the same thing Lance did and research about your ruts and physiology. Kolivans' number is on there if you need or want to talk to him. As the leader but an Omega he might have a few ways to keep those urges in check for ya while I focus on keeping Lance in his room"
Keith sighed "Fine and tell Lance no matter what happens I won't treat him differently" Hunk nodded slightly "I will" Keith went off to his room and sighed. he contacted Kolivan and he could see that Keith was hot and bothered "Your omega?" Keith growled "That's not why I'm calling!... That is not the full reason anyway... What can you tell me about galra alphas?" Kolivan smiled slightly "Yep your omega! Luckily for you, I have a mate so I have a reliable source" Keith cut him off "I don't want to know more than have to!" Kolivan sighed "Fine. As you know galras are a naturally aggressive race, Like look at me you would never think I'm an Omega by Earth standards so alphas are a real handful till they get a mate. Normally they are forced to mate young to keep them controlled. If they aren't you end up with ones that would fight anything. Your mother was one of the few who managed to channel that rage at the empire and was one of our best" Keith's eyes went wide "My mother was an alpha? Where is she?!" Kolivan sighed "She went on a deep undercover mission a few phebes ago and has yet to come back." Keith looked down "Oh... Back to the reason for the call. Aggression check what else!" Kolivan looked to someone off-camera "Our alphas get very protective of our packs and especially our mates, they are super sensitive to the scents of their omega. like hell, I can't sneeze without him running to my side with a hot drink" Keith giggled imagining that "That's so sweet but I can see how that's annoying" Kolivan sighed "It is! but there are some changes that might happen." Keith tilted his head "Like what? Will I be taller?!" Kolivan giggled "Yes actually. and a few of your galra traits might come forward, As the first human mix we don't know what will happen but if we use an Altean mix as a reference your skin might change but that's about it visually" Keith tilted his head "Altean mix? There's a galra altean mix?" Kolivan sighed "Was one? We don't know and don't care. He's the son of Zarkon so it's not our job to watch that royal brat"
A few days later Lance's heat was over but he refused to leave his room. Even when he brought Keith his jacket he had his hood up. Keith gently held Lance's hand "Lance what is it? You never have that hood up" Lance went into Keith's room and closed the door "Promise not to tell?" Keith was worried and felt the protectiveness kick in "Lance You're scaring me" Lance took down the hood and there were white streaks in his hair and his ears were longer than before "I don't remember anything about Altea I just know the language" Keith smiled slightly "This is all? From what Coran told us I thought worse" Lance held his chest "That's when we're claimed and mated" Keith rubbed his arm as Lance spoke "Oh I was confused" Lance noticed "You ok Keith?" Keith stopped "Yeah just got a bit cold without my jacket" Keith put it on and smelled it "Did you wash it?" Lance rolled his eyes "Yeah. I'm not stupid" Lance put his hood up and sighed "I don't know what's happening to me so can you not tell the alteans here" Keith smiled lightly "Of course but they might know what's happening" Lance went to leave and with a single growl from Keith he was facing him and on his knees. Keith helped him to his feet "Sorry Lance but why don't you want to tell them?" Lance teared up slightly "I'm scared ok! They already treat me differently but imagine how it will be when they know I'm the last omega of their race" Keith nodded "True and sorry again, I had no idea I could do that" Lance went back to his room and locked the door
