Arc 1: Alpha Command
The next day started really well for Katsuki. He was still in a good mood after what happened last night. He didn’t need to feel so awful anymore. Not because of Cheeks and Raccoon Eyes, at least.
He came down to the common room, and some of the others were already there. “Good morning, Katsuki!” he heard Denki calling for him.
“Good morning,” Hanta added as he waved to him.
“Morning …” Katsuki answered. He made himself breakfast and sat next to them.
Denki and Hanta sniffed. “Now you smell like Izuku and Eijiro,” Denki said.
“And I can smell Ochako and Mina in it, too. So what’s going on with you?” Hanta asked.
They could see how Katsuki slightly blushed. “We just talked about things … They were in my room, so of course, their smell is still on me …”
The two betas watched their friend closely. Denki smiled brightly. “That’s completely okay! We were just curious.”
“Yeah, by the way, how are you feeling?”
“Better. Definitely better,” Katsuki answered.
“That is good to hear, man,” Hanta gave him a thumbs-up.
Katsuki smiled a little and finished his breakfast. After that, he jumped under the shower. He was a bit sad that he had to wash off the alphas’ scents, but no can do. He didn’t want the whole school to know what was going on.
The day was normal; Aizawa looked relieved that Katsuki was apparently okay again. Midnight was a bit disappointed. Mic didn’t say anything. During the breaks, he talked about different stuff with Deku, Eijiro, Cheeks, and Raccoon Eyes. He was in a good mood …
But then Lunch break came.
Together with the others, Katsuki sat in the cafeteria. He enjoyed Lunch Rush’s food as he listened to Mina’s exciting explanations about a new quirk move she was thinking about.
Everything was going well up until half of the break. Then, suddenly that piece of shit from the B-Class showed up. “Oh my, oh my, if that isn’t the strongest ‘alpha’ there is. Didn’t you say you would become a strong alpha? Now, look at you!” Monoma came closer, a crazy look in his eyes.
“Here you are! Being an omega and not the alpha you wanted to be. How does this feel? Huh? I thought Class-A would be so much better than Class-B. There I thought wrong, huh?” He laughed maniacally.
Everyone at the table was frozen in shock. No, no, no! Why did he have to say such things? Just as Katsuki finally got better?
“Stop it, Monoma!” Denki growled.
Katsuki clenched his fists, rage welling up in him. He growled deeply, and his look was hateful. “I heard these last couple of days you were pretty nasty. Do you have no shame? You, as an omega, shouldn’t force your foul stench on all the others.”
“Cut it out!” Eijiro stood up and moved closer to Monoma. Deku also left his place.
Katsuki’s breathing got faster. Suddenly the spicy scent of capsaicin was in the air. He was so fucking pissed because of this fucking bastard.
“You know this is so not attractive. Such a nasty little omega with such an intrusive scent. No alpha will ever find you attractive if you continue like that.” Monoma leaned over Katsuki. “And isn’t that something all omegas want? A big strong alpha to protect them?” His tone was so mocking.
That was enough. Katsuki shot up and gripped Monoma’s face with his hand. “YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!!! I’LL FUCKING KILL YOU!!!” He fired explosions in the hand that held Monoma’s face. He pushed him back and struggled him to the ground. He started to punch the living shit out of the other student.
He heard people scream, but he couldn’t care less. He was so fucking pissed that he blindly threw punches in Monoma’s face.
“KATSUKI, STOP IT!” Denki screeched. He tried to hold Katsuki back, but he was like a wild animal.
Izuku and Eijiro were on his side quickly. Monoma’s face was swollen and black and blue already. They tried to get a hold of Katsuki, but he pushed them away.
“We need to stop him! It’s getting serious now!” Eijiro gripped Katsuki’s arm, but he immediately got an explosion to the face, not that it would hurt him. Katsuki ripped his arm free and was on Monoma again.
“BAKUGO KATSUKI STOP IT NOW!” Tenya yelled. Katsuki immediately stopped, he was frozen in place, and his eyes were wide.
Izuku and Eijiro stared at Tenya and bared their teeth at him. Now they were really pissed at what Tenya had done. He had alpha commanded Katsuki to make him stop.
Alpha commands were forbidden in school for various reasons. Tenya was really tense, and he knew that he had broken the rules, but he didn’t know any other way to stop Katsuki at this moment. “Release …” he murmured, and Katsuki sagged. His breathing was shaky, and in his eyes was sheer panic.
In slow motion, he looked back at Tenya. He was shaking uncontrollably. “I am very sorry, Katsuki, but you didn’t leave me a choice,” Tenya started. He moved closer to Katsuki, one hand lifted apologetically, but Katsuki flinched back. A scent of pure terror was coming from him, and it broke Izuku’s and Eijiro’s hearts.
Katsuki got up, still shaking really badly. He moved away from Tenya, a look of fear in his eyes. The others around them were agitated, too. They knew Tenya had to do something but an alpha command? Wasn’t that a bit too much?
“Kacchan, hey, everything is okay!” Izuku tried to calm him down, but his childhood friend flinched in panic. He spun around and ran for the door. He bolted out of the room and back to the dorms. His heart was beating so damn fast that he thought it would explode any second.
Itsuka finally came, and she took the unconscious Monoma to Recovery Girl. She apologized profusely to class 1-A.
Tenya stared at the ground. There was a patch of blood on it. He felt absolutely terrible that he had put Katsuki through such a horrible thing.
Finally, Aizawa showed up, he asked what happened, and with a deep bow, Tenya explained what had happened and that he had alpha-commanded Katsuki.
Shota was shocked to hear that. He knew too well how scary an alpha command was. He said he would talk with Katsuki about Monoma’s beating and the command. Tenya faced a week of detention for it, even though he just tried to help. He accepted his punishment without backtalk.
Eijiro and Izuku asked if they could go after Katsuki, but Shota told them that classes would start soon. He would look after him and talk to him. They could see him when school was over. They didn’t like it but had to accept it.
Katsuki arrived in his dorm room and slammed the door shut. He immediately jumped into his nest and pressed his face into the Pomeranian pillow. He let out a scream, and tears started to flow. He was so fucking scared!
The alpha command was such a terrible experience! As soon as Tenya had commanded him, his whole body went limp. He had absolutely no control over himself. It was so goddamn scary!
Pictures of the League of Villains flashed through his mind. Shigaraki Tomura was an alpha, and at the time of his kidnapping, Katsuki hadn’t presented yet. He thought about what would have happened if Shigaraki had used an alpha command on him!
He was shaking uncontrollably, and his mind made it all worse. He couldn’t get it out of his head. He didn’t want to think about it, but it was stuck now. What if he met alpha villains? Would they command him? Would Deku do that? Or Eijiro? The more he thought about it, the more terrified he became.
He flinched when he heard a knock on the door. “Go away!” he screamed – or at least he tried to, his voice broke.
“It’s me, Aizawa. Open the door, Katsuki.”
Katsuki cursed slightly and stood up. He opened the door for his teacher.
Aizawa’s eyes widened as he saw the crying Katsuki. He put a hand on the student’s shoulder and moved him softly to his nest. “I want to talk to you about what happened.”
Still shaking, Katsuki moved back to the bed. He sat down while Shota used the chair. “I am sorry for what happened to you. I know how it feels to be alpha commanded,” he started.
Katsuki looked up at his teacher, tears still flowing. Shota released some calming pheromones; it helped Katsuki to come down a little bit. He felt the hand of his teacher petting his head, and this time, he let him.
They sat together for about ten minutes until Katsuki calmed down again. Shota waited for his student to compose himself.
“Iida got detention for alpha commanding you,” he started. Katsuki lifted his gaze and met Shota’s eyes. He knew that he would get a punishment too. Shota’s look was serious. “As sorry as I feel for you, I have to punish you for beating Monoma unconscious. But rest assured; he will get a punishment, too, for provoking you. You get three days of detention.”
Katsuki nodded simply and looked back at the ground. “I’ll leave you then. I am sure Midoriya and Kirishima will show up right after the lessons. If you need anything, you can come and talk to me. Or I could get you a session with Hound Dog.”
“No … I’m good,” Katsuki murmured. Shota nodded and left his student. He was a bit shaken to see a fiery student like Bakugo so down. He now needed to talk to Vlad King and Monoma about the situation.
The next hours were pure horror for Katsuki. He was still cuddled up in his nest and had thrown a blanket over him. He just wanted to disappear. His thoughts were spiraling about being alpha commanded by villains. He was still in the “What If Shigaraki …” He shivered every time the villain came to his mind.
But eventually, he heard a knocking on his door. He could smell that it was Izuku and Eijiro. Wrapped in his blanket, he walked to the door and let them in. He shivered again. Alphas … he was scared at first. Afraid they would control him. Both of them released a calming scent, and Katsuki relaxed. Wordless, he walked back to his nest.
The alphas followed him, and they sat next to him. Izuku laid his arms around Katsuki and pulled him into a hug. He rubbed his hand over the blond’s upper arm. “Hey, how are you feeling?” he asked.
Katsuki nuzzled into his neck. He inhaled his scent deeply. “Not good,” he murmured. “I-I feel terrible. Being commanded … it’s so scary!” His voice broke as tears shot into his eyes again. “I felt so fucking helpless!” His hands gripped Izuku’s shirt tightly.
“I am so sorry, Kacchan. So, so sorry,” Izuku mumbled into Katsuki’s hair.
“Please don’t do that to me, okay? Please never alpha command me,” he pleaded.
“Of course not! We would never do such a thing,” Izuku promised.
“Yeah, absolutely not!” Eijiro added. “D-Do you want to cuddle?”
“Yes, please,” he whimpered. Both Izuku’s and Eijiro’s hearts dropped at that sound. Izuku had never heard Katsuki so desperate and broken in his entire life, not even after he had been kidnapped.
The three lay down on the bed, Katsuki in the middle. Their giant bodies pressed against him. Izuku pulled the blanket over them. It was a bit hot under it, but he wouldn’t complain.
Katsuki pressed his face against Eijiro’s chest, and the redhead felt the tears soaking through his shirt. He hushed Katsuki and patted his head a little. “If you want to talk about it, we are here for you,” Eijiro said.
For a while, Katsuki said nothing. But then the thoughts came back, and he started to tremble again. “It’s constantly in my head,” he said. “I always have to think about Shigaraki … he’s an alpha. I felt it when he kidnapped me. What would have happened if I had already presented back then? What if he had commanded me?” His voice broke more than one time.
Izuku rubbed over Katsuki’s side in a comforting motion. “No, don’t think about it. It’s in the past, and it didn’t happen,” he whispered.
“But there will be alpha villains out there! What if they command me? What if they capture me again? What will they do to me when they have me?” His breathing got faster, and he was near a panic attack. They tried their best to comfort him.
“You’ll be okay. Katsuki, calm down. Everything will be okay! Try not to think about stuff like that at the moment. You are very emotional, and I don’t think it is good for you to wrap your head around that now.” Eijiro grabbed Katsuki’s hand and squeezed it.
Katsuki tried his best to calm down again. He tried to force these thoughts out of his head. “You are very strong, Kacchan. Most villains won’t even get the chance to say anything. I know that you will knock them out in no time!” Izuku tried to reassure him.
“But what if I am not good enough? I am just an omega! You saw how easily four eyes could control me! Just like that! I am not as strong as an alpha. Monoma was right. I am just an omega … I am … I am weak now,” his voice broke again, and the sobbing got louder.
“Hey, psht! No! No, don’t think like that. Don’t let Monoma’s words get to you. You are so much stronger than most people! You are definitely stronger than him. You beat him! Monoma’s always talking shit, so don’t mind it, yeah?”
“But … he’s right! No alpha will want an aggressive omega, right? You don’t want that either, right?”
“Nooo, Katsuki! I like how strong you are! And every alpha that doesn’t appreciate you for your strength doesn’t deserve you anyways! I like how strong you are, and I have always respected that! You are perfect the way you are!” Eijiro told him. He really meant that; he always respected Katsuki. So why would it change with the fact that he was an omega?
“He’s right, Kacchan. You are so strong, so amazing! I always admired that! Nothing can change my admiration for you! I don’t care that you are an omega! You are still Kacchan, and this will never change!” Izuku’s voice war close to Katsuki’s ear, sending shivers down his spine. A small smile hushed over the blond’s face.
They heard a knocking on the door, and seconds later, Ochako and Mina stood in the doorway. “Can we come in?” Ochako asked.
“Yeah …” Katsuki murmured. He couldn’t see them from his position. He could only hear them. They came closer now, and moments later, he could feel more weight. Ochako was climbing on top of Izuku; Mina did the same with Eijiro. They both reached for Katsuki and rubbed over his arm. They smiled at him.
“We came to comfort you!” Mina said.
“Yes! Nothing bad will happen now!” Ochako added.
It was hard to breathe when you were lying between two massive guys, and on top of that were two more girls, but for the moment, Katsuki didn’t mind it. It felt good to know he had some people he could count on.
Katsuki closed his eyes and dozed off.
In the evening, the group of five made their way downstairs. The girls were left and right beside Katsuki; they had their arms hooked with his. Izuku and Eijiro were next to the girls, much like bodyguards. The girls chatted with Katsuki, and he still tried to get his mind off the incident.
The others watched them approach. Most of them were very shocked when they heard what had happened. They felt really sorry for Katsuki.
Mineta was sitting on one of the couches. He clenched his fist. “Oh, this lucky bastard! The girls still want him! I can’t believe it!”
He got smacked with Tsuyu’s tongue. “Stop saying such things, ribbit!” She stood up and moved closer to the group.
Katsuki, who was relatively calm at the moment, tensed up as he saw Tenya. Ochako and Mina immediately released a calming scent. The class representative stood up from his chair, he was doing homework at the dinner table, and carefully approached Katsuki. Izuku and Eijiro bared their teeth again in a threatening manner.
Katsuki stiffened when Tenya was close, his eyes were wide, and fear flashed in them.
Tenya dropped to his knees and bowed his head down to the ground. “Bakugo, I want to apologize again. I failed you as a class representative. No matter the situation, I should not have used an alpha command on you. This shows that my judgment is still not good enough. I beg you for forgiveness!”
Katsuki’s breathing quickened. He stared down at Tenya and grabbed Ochako’s and Mina’s hands. “I-I have to think about that. I can’t decide that now,” he said in an unusually calm voice. “Just stay away from me for now.”
“Of course, if that is your wish. I’ll accept this.” He lifted his head and stood up. He stepped away from Katsuki and returned to his place at the dinner table again.
Katsuki sat down, far away from him. Momo placed a cup of tea in front of him. “I made you some tea to calm you down,” she smiled at him.
“… Thanks,” he murmured. Sato had made him a cake, and Katsuki took it. The girls were hogging him all the time. As promised, the omegas kept together.
It took a few days for Katsuki to finally recover from the alpha command. He still had nightmares from time to time, but it all quieted down.
The hero training helped to get his mind off of it. The girls were constantly around him, he wouldn’t admit it, but this helped him too.
The detention was over quickly, too, and everything seemed to be okay again.
Training went smoothly, and Katsuki was allowed to go havoc during it. It helped him to de-stress.
