Piece of the puzzle, you're my missing part

[inheritance]

[It starts off as a normal day--well, almost normal. If it weren't for Todoroki being horribly sick and missing his classes, then it would've been just like any other day on the UA campus.

Still, his friend's been sick for quite a few days now, and Izuku can't help but worry about him. Once classes are out for the day, Izuku makes a beeline for the dorms, heading up to Todoroki's room and knocking on the door without hesitation.]

Todoroki-kun? It's me. [Hm, the door's unlocked. Izuku opens it as quietly as he can, peering at the lump on the bed when he steps inside.] Are you feeling any better?

[inheritance]

[Shouto looks so beautiful like this, spread out on the mattress and begging.]

Shouto, I've got you... [Izuku stumbles over the words as he nears his own release. Then, he surges forward and gives a particularly hard snap of his hips before he bites down on Shouto's neck, right where a the bond mark should go.]

[glaciers]

[He's safe. Izuku has him, he'd never let him get hurt, he'll always protect him. Shouto doesn't stop moaning or whimpering until Izuku snaps his hips- Right then is where Shouto comes, Izuku's name on his lips as he cums all over Izuku's hand.]

[inheritance]

[Izuku chokes out Shouto's name when he feels Shouto clenching around him as he finishes. It only takes a few more thrusts before Izuku's cumming, too, with a shuddering moan.

He practically collapses on Shouto a second or so later, nuzzling at the omega's neck with a content little hum.]

[glaciers]

[Today is the first time he's felt really satisfied during the entire week he was running a fever. Now all the burning up makes a whole lot more sense. He was presenting. He feels nice and warm and perfectly at ease with himself.

He gives a little sigh and relaxes his grip, kissing the top of Izuku's head. It's nice to think clearly again.]

... Thank you.

[inheritance]

[His lashes flutter when he feels the kiss to his head, but his eyes stay stubbornly closed. He feels sated and pleased now, and he doesn't feel like moving just yet.]

For what? [He mumbles against Shouto's skin, sounding like he could doze off at any second.]

[glaciers]

[With that Shouto settles in for the night, still loosely holding on to Izuku.]

Being my alpha.

[It's soft and mumbled, but it's sincere.]

[inheritance]

[Izuku's so drained, the sudden rut sapping away most of his energy, that Shouto's words don't really sink in.]

Mmm. [It's a quiet, sleepy sound of agreement, though he doesn't even know what he's agreeing to.]

[glaciers]

[He nuzzles Izuku's head and lets himself have a night of dreamless sleep.

So this is how omegas take care of their heats...]

[inheritance]

[With Shouto already out like a light, Izuku's bound to follow soon after. Though, not before he curls an arm around Shouto's waist.

There, perfect. Wrapped up in an embrace and surrounded by his omega's scent, it's easy for Izuku to drift off into sleep.]

[glaciers]

[The morning comes sooner than Shouto would've wanted it. Light streaming in from his window, he didn't bother to close it last night. Or more accurately, he got too distracted.

Said distraction is still sleeping on top of him. A small shift reveals that Izuku is still inside of him too. But even that just fills him with warmth and contentment. His alpha... He doesn't know how he's so certain of that, but he is.

He brings a hand up to card through Izuku's hair, waiting for him to wake up.]

[inheritance]

[Awareness comes back to Izuku in stages. He feels warm as he slowly wakes up, and Izuku doesn't want to leave the bed just yet. If he realizes how at odds it is with his usual morning habits, Izuku doesn't think too much of it.

With a grumble, Izuku shifts, arms tightening around Shouto. He might be stubbornly clinging to sleep for once, but the hand in his hair feels nice, relaxing.]

[glaciers]

[ Nurturing isn't usually something he associates with himself, but he doesn't mind this so much. ]

Good morning, Izuku.

[inheritance]

[Still half-asleep, Izuku just clings even more, nuzzling at Shouto's neck and letting his lips brush against the bite he'd left there the night before--it's not the binding kind, but he'd left a mark there nonetheless.]

Mmm. Morning.

[glaciers]

[ Luckily for both of them it's a Sunday. They have nowhere they need to be this early.

As Izuku brushes against the mark, Shouto shivers and clenches around his cock, color rushing to his cheeks. ]

[inheritance]

[He muffles his moan against Shouto's neck, instinctively pressing into him more deeply as he starts to grow hard again. This is a nice way to wake up, he decides, with his omega's scent all over him--

Wait.

Suddenly, all of the drowsiness disappears and his eyes snap open. He's... draped all over Todoroki and they're both naked and oh my god he's inside--

With a strangled little sound, Izuku pulls out of him and scrambles back in a panic.] T-T-T-Todoroki-kun??!

[glaciers]

[ As embarrassing as it is, Shouto can't stop the whine that escapes him as Izuku pulls out. ]

Izuku... [ He sounds a little hurt when Izuku pulls away from him.]

[inheritance]

[Izuku can't hide the surprise that rushes through him when Todoroki uses his first name. What... happened? The last thing he remembers is bringing Todoroki something to eat... and then...

His hand flies up to his mouth in shock. It's a bit hazy, but he remembers. Todoroki had gone into heat--he'll think some more on how off mistaken they were about that later--and he'd... he'd taken advantage of him in that state.

Izuku swallows hard, suddenly feeling sick to his stomach. Todoroki might still be out of it from his sudden heat--it's probably the only reason why he's not throwing Izuku out right now.]

I'm...I'm so sorry, Todoroki-kun. [Shame creeps into him. Even if he had gotten caught up in Todoroki's heat, he knows it's no excuse. He should've known better.] I should go.

[Quickly he finds the clothes he'd carelessly flung around the room yesterday and puts them on, paying no mind to the rumpled state that he's in. The sooner he leaves, the better it'll be for Todoroki anyway.]

[glaciers]

[He wants to say something, to stop Izuku-- Midoriya from leaving a a hurried rush. But somehow all the words get stuck in his throat as he watches his alpha pull away and leave.

Midoriya didn't want him at all, did he? It was just the heat's influence over him. Shouto never should've gotten his hopes up like that. Of course Midoriya wouldn't want him like that. The heat was driving him into a rut. He wasn't thinking clearly. He didn't want Shouto.

A hand comes up to hold the bite mark on his neck. What would've been binding if Izuku had presented before him.

Maybe it's better this way?

Even if he tells himself that, it hurts. It takes him hours before he gets enough courage to contact Midoriya at all. And when he does it's a text with one word.]

Sorry.

[inheritance]

[Izuku had thought he couldn't feel any worse after waking up this morning, but he'd clearly been wrong. His hand trembles as he reads the text and types out a response.]

It's not your fault. You don't need to apologize.

[It breaks Izuku's heart, that Todoroki would apologize when it was Izuku who had fucked up spectacularly and probably ruined everything. Never mind that he'd liked Todoroki for some time now--he'd be lucky if Todoroki still wants to be friends after this.]

[glaciers]

[It hurts to be told that. He'd rather burn himself again than suffer through rejection. Especially from somebody he adores so strongly.

He's not wanted.

He throws his phone onto his futon before getting up and pacing. It takes him a good ten minutes before he manages to gather his thoughts enough to send anything back.]

I'll leave you alone.

[Since that's obviously what Midoriya wants, right? With the way he fled out of Shouto's room that morning.]

[inheritance]

[And... there it is. Though Todoroki's never really hesitated to speak his mind before, Izuku figures that this--everything that happened in the past day--is a bit of a special circumstance.

He knew it was coming and it still hurts more than he could've expected, losing Todoroki because of a mistake. It's his own fault. He deserves to be cut off.]

If that's what you want.

[glaciers]

[Of course it isn't. Of course that's not what he wants. He wants to wake up to Midoriya's embrace, he wants to be claimed, he wants to be Midoriya's omega.

But he's fooling himself. There's no way somebody like Midoriya would want an omega like him.

It would be better to distance himself, wouldn't it? At least the rejection wouldn't sting so much.]

Yes.

[As he hits send he feels himself tearing up.]
