I'm dead without you (omegaverse)

The heat

The first time Dorian got his heat, he was thirteen years old, and it happened in the middle of a shower after P.E. The heat was so intense that the principle evacuated the whole school, and the teachers locked Dorian dressing room by the teachers. It wasn't an omega that triggered Dorian. It started because he saw Finian naked in the gym shower. The heat took over the boy, and Finian barely got out of the room before Dorian could jump him. Finian didn't want to himself. No, it was the gym teacher, a massive man that resembled a bear, that carried the screaming boy out of the room and locked the door, to keep Dorian from getting his hands on the red-haired boy. It was like something out of a horror movie. Dorian was growling with a voice that didn't sound human, and he was banging on the door, screaming after Finian.

The omegas in the school were all terrified, and the alphas felt intimidated. There was no doubt in anyone's mind; Dorian was a Prime and an unusually dominant at that. So Dorian was trying to get out of the room, and Finian was trying to get in. Even though the boy was an alpha, he wasn't afraid. He wanted to be with Dorian. He loved the other boy with all his heart, and it was as if Dorian's pheromones were calling him, even though he were alpha and shouldn't be lured by another alphas pheromones. It all ended when the school nurse gave Dorian an injection with strong suppressants, and the boy fell asleep for a whole day. But the pheromones lingered in school for the rest of the day, and all classes were cancelled. Finian even had to take his first medicine. The boy hadn't had his heat yet, so just one pill was enough to get the boy to calm down. It would take the boy two more years to get his heat, and after that, Finian and Dorian always spent every heat together. Their heat even began synchronizing, starting, and ending on the same day.

But that day, when Dorian got his first heat, was the only time his heat had been so intensive. Dorian wasn't affected by other pheromones except Shiro's, and he never let out his pheromones except when his heat started or at that time when he met Shiro.

On the day Dorian's heat came, Finian and Dorian were the only ones at home. Dorian sat behind the computer, working. He knew that his heat would come this week, so he decided to work from home. Finian was in the kitchen, doing the final editing on his thesis before he would submit it. Shiro had left early for a photo shoot, and the kids were at school. Ikumi had started her new class the day before, and everything went smoothly for the young girl. It was a relief that both Caoimhe and Eamon went to the same school, even if they were in classes over her.

It had been four days since the family dinner, and there was a feeling of peace in the McCallister house that hadn't been present before. Eamon was happy that he mustered up the courage to tell his family about his girlfriend, and on Sunday, he brought her home for the first time. Chhaya was a confident and spunky kid, and Eamon's family immediately liked her. The only one that had a bit of a problem with dealing with the energetic black-haired girl was Ikumi, but she pretended like nothing. Caoimhe, on the other hand, liked Chhaya a lot, and she could see how in love her brother was with the older girl.

However, Caoimhe was noticing that Ikumi was acting strange. The younger girl always had her phone with her, and she frequently received texts. Even though Caoimhe hadn't known Ikumi for so long, she still understood that this behaviour was unusual for her. But Caoimhe wanted to wait before talking to Ikumi about it. And to be honest, Caoimhe had enough to deal with as it was. Before getting her menstruation, she had heard her friends complain about it, but she never imagined it to be such a pain. It hurt, it was uncomfortable, and her mood was awful, constantly lashing out at everybody. And she was bitter because, for some reason, males didn't have periods the same way as females, even though they also could get pregnant. Finian told Caoimhe that it was a trait from their ancestors, who only had one gender instead of two. Thousands of years ago, there were no alphas or omegas, everybody was like betas, and only the females could get pregnant. But due to evolution, humans evolved a secondary gender. Despite that, females still had their monthly bleeding, and Caoimhe thought it was incredibly unfair. The only good thing about it all was that her doting fathers listened to her every need, and she could eat chocolate on a weekday.
