Where there's love, there's pain

Chapter 7

Bakugou was dealing with his worst nightmare, mosquitos. He was like a fucking flame to those little blood sucking vampires . "Die!!!" as he blasted one near his thigh . He wasn't sure if it was his sweat or pheromones that attracted him, either way he was losing his patience.

The local agencies along with the Japanese agencies met briefly last night in an abandoned church 10 miles from town. All hero's had to stay out of sight until they were tipped off. This is the most boring part of their missions, waiting for the villains. He couldn't even go out because he stood out like a sore thumb. His scent was also strong so he had to wear scent patches so no one could catch onto their ambush.

Ugh , he was bored out of his mind. He looked outside of his window watching the town slowly wake up . There were people making deliveries, the smell of frijoles in the air, abuelitas washing their clothes, children helping with the laundry.

He spotted two rather tall beings crossing the street. Finally, he was going to get some news on Izuku . He ran his hands through his hair, was he ready to find out the truth about Izuku's love life ?

"¡Buenos días!"Dunce face shouted.
"Why are you so loud in the morning?" bakoug growled.
"Sorry bakuhoe! We were just given some free pan dulce by a sweet old lady ."  Kiri shook a bag of pan dulce in front of Bakugou.
Bakugou sneered, "I told you to keep a low profile."

Kirishima immediately intervenes, "calm down bro, we just helped an old lady pull her cart. She was grateful and gave us some homemade bread."
"Tch whatever" Bakugou replied.

Bakugou waited for the idiots to report, instead, they ate quietly. There was an uncomfortable silence. "Just rip the bandaid, and tell me if he's taken."

Kirishima and Kaminari gave each other a knowing look. "Well we're not sure...we saw some alpha go inside his house and scent it . But we didn't see anything else . It seems like he lives alone?"

Bakugou was still for a couple of seconds. "Did you smell Izukus pheromones?" He asked in a whisper.

"No, we were actually overwhelmed by n alpha's scent, pretty sure he's a dominant alpha too. It smelled kinda smoky." Shitty hair said as he finally met Bakugou's eyes.

Kaminari said, "We need to keep tailing him since we didn't actually see or smell Izuku ? We're-"

"No, it's fine. No alpha just scents a friend's house, he was obviously marking his territory. I was preparing for this anyway. I'm going out, don't bother saving dinner for me," Bakugou stated before slamming the door on his way out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Izuku woke up before the rooster sang its usual song. He smelled Toya and Hawks's scent before he even saw Toya. The alpha was sleeping peacefully in the hammock in the living room. Well so much for having an alphas comforting smell. He was happy that his friend was able to reconcile with his omega. He felt a ripple of loneliness through his body as he realized that Toya would stop scenting him now that he had his lover again. Unknowingly he was letting out sour pheromones.

"Izu? Are you okay? Was it another nightmare?" Toya asked as he rubbed his eyes . The omega was making breakfast, "No...I was just thinking it would be nice to have my own partner too. Someone who accepts me for who I am. Someone I can always cuddle with or scents me when I'm having nightmares. A mate who wants to get married and have a couple of kids. It doesn't sound too bad right now..."

"Aww Izu," Toya wrapped his arm around his shoulder. "Hay I'm still your friend and I'll still scent you. I had a serious talk with Keigo last night about our relationship. He was green with envy when I explained that I scented you but once I explained your situation, he calmed down. Also, he wants to apologize for his previous behavior towards you." The alpha watched as the omega's body relaxed. "I'm sure you'll find your mate soon, but being at home or the clinic won't help you find Mr.Perfect. You need to explore your options ."
