It's Shouto Todoroki's birthday today. January 11. He's now officially 17 years old. An important age for an Omega. Just thirty one days from now, he'll experience his first heat.

He wakes up like every other day, awoken by the sound of the alarm on his phone. He sits up from his tatami mat, grabbing his phone from beside him to shut the annoying sound off. He glances around the room, his eyes landing on a small wrapped box on his table. Midoriya had given him it last night, telling him to open it on his birthday.

He pulls the blankets off of him and walks over to his table. He grabs the small box, carefully unwrapping it. Shouto pulls the lid off of the box and he falters at the sight. Inside, is a small picture frame of himself and Midoriya. Shouto faintly remembers the day. It was a day that Midoriya had invited him to go to this small festival. Uraraka and Iida had been busy that day, so they had to cancel last minute, leaving only the two boys to go.

In the photo, Shouto is smiling, a sight that rarely anyone sees. Beside him, Izuku is beaming his usual bright smile while an array of color is exploding behind them from the firework show the festival was having.

Shouto reaches in and grabs the photo frame, placing in on his table with a small smile on his face.
He thinks of the Alpha, mentally telling himself to remember to thank him for such a thoughtful gift.

As he readies himself for school, his mind is once again filled with the one question that's been on his mind for months.

Who do I to chose as a heat partner for my first heat?

He shudders at the thought of having his first heat. He's read online that having a heat alone is horrible. But having a heat alone for the first heat; that's absolutely dreadful. He's been putting it off for quite some time, not wanting to think about stuff like that while he was busying himself with more important matters like school and hero training. But now that the time is nearing, he's starting to regret not preparing sooner for it.

He briefly thinks of Izuku. The Alpha was strong, smart, and dependable. Everything that most omegas swooned over. Shouto shakes his head, immediately clearing the thought. No, Midoriya is my friend. I'd never subject him to something as demeaning as being used for a heat. Besides, I wouldn't want to ruin our friendship over something meaningless like my heat.

The hot and cold hero quickly finishes getting ready, glancing one last time at the lone photo frame in his room before heading out.

He steps out of his room, closing the door and making his way to the elevator. He pushes the button pointing downwards. The elevator doors open, and he walks in, closing his eyes as the calming atmosphere washes over him. However, the peaceful moment he was having was immediately disturbed when the elevator suddenly stops.
