" How did it go?" Shiro asked as Keith got into the passenger seat of the minivan.

" They say I'm showing a lot of improvement." The little brother answered.

" Well after two weeks of physical therapy, I'd hope so." Shiro re-started the ignition and began slowly driving from the parking lot. " Did the therapist say anything else?" He asked. And Keith made a very uncomfortable expression and looked to the side.

" Yeah..." He said under his breath.

" Is it bad?" Shiro questioned.

" They say I have to join a sport. Apparently my metabolism or something is thrown off, and I'll start gaining weight really fast if I don't speed it back up." The omega said as he leaned to rest his chin in the palm of his hand.

" A sport? Keith, that's dangerous." Shiro sounded like an overprotective mom as he turned into the road.

" That's not all. They're starting me on vitamins, and some hormones because when I was under, they were all messed up." Keith said. He didn't feel like he needed medication, and he almost wondered if it would make things worse.

" Keith, if they give you estrogen it will completely rile up your heats, and probably make them more frequent." Shiro was concerned. Sure, omegas were the most estrogen rich gender, but Keith was also male. Meaning that he had a complex balance of testosterone, androgens, and a couple types of estrogens.

" That's what they said, but they're also trying to give me extra testosterone to prevent that. Apparently they'll offset each other." Keith was already moody as hell, so giving him more hormones wouldn't exactly be fun.

" So in other words, you're going to be an ornery, hormonal mess until things level off?" Shiro was only half kidding when he asked that.

" Pretty much." The smaller boy sighed.

" Lance is in for a treat. But anyways, what sport are you going to join? Please don't say a contact sport. What about... ultimate frisbee?" Shiro raised a hopeful eyebrow.

" Frisbee?" Keith laughed. " You're joking, right?" He didn't mean to offend anyone, but that was barely a sport at all.

" Do you have any idea how many alphas play the other sports?" The older brother was very worried about Keith being on a field with a bunch of other guys. He didn't want to discriminate against him just because he was an omega, but it definitely could pose a problem.

" Well... Lance does soccer. How about I join that and then you can have him keep an eye on me?" Keith suggested. He wasn't exactly excited about this either, but it was join a sport or get heavier.

" You've never touched a soccer ball in your life, and you expect to play against other people?" Shiro was totally paranoid about this. But omegas typically didn't do contact sports, primarily male omegas. Mainly because there was such a difference between them and their rough and tumble counter parts. It was different for girls, mainly because female alphas weren't all too different from other girls, and there wasn't such a drastic gap.

Plus, Shiro knew that not all alphas were like Lance. Who was to say one of them wouldn't take an interest in Keith on the field? It was the sad, harsh reality of the world they lived in. Omegas, since there weren't many in comparison to alphas, were always being objectified in one way or another. It was disgusting, and Shiro didn't want Keith to get caught in the middle of it.

" Do you want me to get fat?" Keith stared him down with an irritated face. The idea terrified him, being that he would get ten times more self conscious. There was nothing wrong with being thicc, but Keith didn't think he'd be able to handle it.
