4: Heat..?

It was lunch break now. America felt slightly sluggish. He felt a little warm, sweaty and tired.

He peeled his body off the table and joined South, Russia and Philip to get lunch in the cafeteria. 

"I am so tired all of a sudden. The heat must be getting to me." America heaved a sigh as he took off his jacket.

"It's not that hot though," South commented.

Winter had just ended recently so the weather was still pretty cool. Plus America wasn't someone who fared well in cold weather. So seeing him take off his jacket was slightly alarming.

"Well, I feel warm for once. And it sucks." America huffed as he headed to his locker to stash his jacket away, Philip and Russia following him.

The four met with the Japan twins, Germany and Poland at their usual table.

"Germany asked me out today! I said yes!" Poland announced out of the blue.

South and Russia choked while Philip congratulated Poland and Nekomi collected 10 bucks from Japan.

"Aww you two are cutee!" Nekomi grinned.

America congratulated Germany and Poland, mustering a smile the best he could.

He felt highly uncomfortable. The room had gone from warm to sweltering. There was something wrong because everyone else wasn't sweating buckets like he was. He felt really sleepy too. His brain felt warm and fuzzy and his eyesight spun a little.

"Is it just me, or is there a sweet smell in the area?" Russia asked out of the blue. Philip and Poland couldn't smell it being omega while Nekomi, Japan, Germany and South nodded.

"Probably someone in heat." Germany reasoned.

"I wouldn't know. I'm a beta. Can't smell heats even if it's right under my nose." America joked.

"That's true. Haha." South grinned as he looked at America," you okay man? You don't look too good."

"Y-yea I don't feel too good either. Must've been something I ate last night. I'm just gonna go to the washroom don't mind me." America stated as he got up and rushed to the bathroom, taking the sweet-smelling scent with him.

"He's a beta right?" Germany verified.

"Yea why?" Nekomi asked.

"He smelled like an omega back then," Germany replied.

"Maybe he got an omega mate." South pointed out.

"True."

America was suffering. He felt like he was in a sauna. He splashed tap water on his face hoping to cool down. It worked briefly. The water seemed to just evaporate once in contact with his warm skin.

He felt like he had just run a marathon. His breathing was irregular and painful. Each breath only taking in short puffs of air.

His entire body felt like it was on fire. And there was an ache inside of him. He felt terribly exhausted, as well. His legs were starting to give out on him. He collapsed into a stall, locking it and slumping against the stall door.

His shirt was soaked with sweat and breathing was hard and painful. He let out small whines. His brain felt hazy and fuzzy he could barely think straight. His confusion didn't help either. His limbs felt heavy and weak. His body was raging with fire and there was a dull aching resonating through his torso.

He groaned and shut his eyes tightly hoping for the torture to be over soon.

.
.
The break was coming to an end and America had not come back. His friends were starting to become worried. So South offered to check upon him.

South headed for the nearest male bathroom. The moment he opened the door, he was hit with the mellow smell of fresh fruit and the ocean. There were small whispers and groans coming from a certain stall as well.

His alpha nearly lost all control upon inhaling the attractively strong and pleasant scent.

He grits his teeth and tried to see past the haze clouding his mind. He was here to find America and that was all he was going to do.

"America?" He called out for his friend.

"S-south?" The American's voice asked it sounded strained. It was like the American was suffering.

"America? What's wrong?" South was almost immediately getting red lights from just hearing America's voice.

"H...help...me. H-hurts. S..so bad.." America replied groaning and panting. He doubled over clutching his torso as he ended.

The scent if strawberries and blueberries intensified. South's eyes widened in realization. His breath quickened as he felt instinct starting to take over. He growled to himself.

"S-stay calm Ame. I'm gonna get Philip to help you." South quickly spat out as he left the bathroom as quickly as possible. His inner alpha whining at the loss of the addictive scent.

He ran up to the friend group to see them still waiting for news. They were slightly surprised to see South returning on his own.

"Where's Amer-"

"Philip, Poland, I think it's best you go and check on America." South interrupted Nekomi.

The other 4 alphas were slightly confused as to why South was asking 2 omegas to help America. What was going on.

"Oh okay then. We'll go. Don't wait for us." Philip nodded as he and Poland made their way to the bathroom.

The moment they opened the door, they were hit with the same scent South had smelt. Although because they were omega they were not affected. But they could sense the confusion and distress of the omega who was emitting such a pleasant smell. Some omega had been here recently.

"America is that you?"

"Philip?"

"It's me, Philip and Poland," Philip answered as they talked to America who had to be in the only locked stall.

"P-Phil! Help...me please..." America gasped.

Philip could hear his heavy breathing and pained whines. There was something wrong. Was America injured?

"Hold on I need you to open the door, Ame," Philip asked. But he was met with quiet whines and groans.

"America?" Poland called out.

"I-I, can't..." he breathed out.

Poland could tell America was in a lot of pain.

"Just hold one Ame, stay with me."

"T-try...ing." America huffed out.

Poland handed Philip a coin to unlock the bathroom lock and rescue their friend. The lock opened with a click and Philip carefully opened the door to find a half-conscious America slumped on the floor against the stall wall.

The last thing America heard was a gasp as he fell unconscious.

"Oh my God. America!" Philip gasped as he kneels down to check America for injuries finding none.

"Uhm Philip. I think America might be going through heat."
