In the Heat of the Moment

Eren groaned as he stretched, getting ready for martial arts class. Today they were going to go through the basics of judo. The class would introduce him to many more other martial arts during the upcoming fall. Eren had chosen to take the class from the sheer curiosity and ended up staying because he noticed he could use the arts to vent out all his frustrations. He had bent up anger inside him that he wanted to release.

Of course sometimes he went too far and his instructor would tell him to take it easy. But overall Eren was enjoying the class. There was of course a major plus side to all of this. Since he was an omega he got to spar with alphas and he had the pleasure to show them that he was not weak. Maybe he couldn't change the world but he could change the image that handful of alphas had about omegas.

Eren wasn't always happy with his dynamic but he was not going to just sit down and take all the crap alphas threw his way just because he was an omega.

Omegas were rare. It was Eren's luck to be one of those rare ones. All his life he had been belittled because alphas thought he was even weaker than a beta. It didn't help that his sister Mikasa was a beta and very strong one at that. She was his main inspiration to pick up the martial arts class. If she could do it, then he could too.

"Stop spacing out and stretch properly," a voice said from behind him as a hand touched his shoulder briefly. The voice belonged to an alpha named Levi who was a senior student of the group and helped the instructor with anything and everything. He was someone that Eren respected and feared to some extent. Levi was very good at the stuff they went through in the class. Eren was envious. He suspected it had a lot to do with Levi being an alpha, thus having superior strength and agility.

Eren could only hope to be like him one day.

Mikasa asked him, "Isn't there anyone interesting in class?" To Eren that question was odd until her voice took a teasing tone. "Any alphas I need to beat up if they touch you?"

"Mikasa! No," he said but a brief thought about Levi passed his mind. He wasn't going to even seriously consider it though. "They are all nice to me."

"Of course they are because they want to get into your pants."

"Jesus," Eren cursed. "None of them have shown any interest in me." Eren was tad disappointed with the fact.

"I said to stop spacing out," Levi's voice came from right next to his ear.

Eren jumped. "Sorry. I have a lot on my mind," he quickly said as an excuse.

"Hmm," the alpha hummed, taking his time to move away.

Eren gulped. Why was he feeling so nervous? A shiver ran up his spine and he had an odd feeling. And when did Levi's scent get so strong and attractive? Now if ever Eren was distracted. Maybe it hadn't been such a good idea to come here today after all. He had been feeling a bit funny all day.

During class he noticed Levi watching him every once in awhile. It started to creep him out.

Being distracted by Levi he didn't notice another pair of eyes on him.

"Eren, help me out with putting away the gear," the instructor ordered once the class was over. The head protectors were always used in case someone made a mistake. Eren didn't really want to be handling the sweaty gear right now but he had no choice.

"You did well in class today." The instructor said as he opened the locker where the head gear was stored in. "Are you planning on taking more classes once this course is over?"

Eren nodded. "Yeah if I still feel I need to know more."

The alpha nodded. "You'll do great if you keep your temper in check. If you haven't been doing it already I suggest you take on some regular exercise outside the class. It will be good to build up some stamina and muscle."
