pairing: alpha hanta sero x omega reader
summary: this is part two of this! it will not make sense if you haven't read my original alpha hanta post, it's a continue.
word count: 5.7k (boy did i go overboard)
a/n: the idea kept floating through my head and with everyone loving it and saying they want more how could i resist? it just kept getting longer and longer asdfghj . this is angsty and god am i putting hanta through hell (he's in the dog house fr fr) after what happened at the end of the first part.
content warnings: angst, hurt/comfort(?), a/b/o, scenting talk, denki x reader side plot (he's such a good alpha thoughhhh ahhhh) (it is a hanta fic so obviously he's endgame but denki is amazing and MAYBE there will be a small alternate ending at some point or headcanons?), jealous hanta, the start of readers heat is at the very end of the last few paragraphs, it's not very explicit and has emotions sprinkled in (but still has dirty talk, masturbation and some of that jazz - mdni / 18+)
alpha hanta is adjusting to your presence no longer being there. you don't bother him for whatever reason, he hasn't spoken to you in three weeks and hasn't even seen you for days. it's okay that you're gone though... especially because three weeks ago an omega came up to him and introduced herself- she seems friendly enough. she's texted him a few times but she's not really his type, especially her zesty scent and voice that he can tell she's purposely making softer and quieter, 'it must be pretty rough for omega's huh' he thinks and he wonders if you do that too but he just couldn't tell.
hanta is fine with you not being there until he slowly starts not to be, first it's how he's noticed that he can't smell you anymore. his pillow doesn't smell of chocolate chip cookies, it used to cling to it, every time he laid down he pictured you laying there hours beforehand. he can't even detect the rose and moss that always lingered in his room. your scent used to mingle with his wherever he went and now... he just smells solely of himself, he doesn't like it.
then comes the smiles you used to give him, no one else smiles at him like that and no one else is attentive like you. he misses the way you ramble when you're talking side-by-side and your questions you'd ask him.
it starts making him feel like there's an empty pit in his stomach when he plays games on his own now, no longer you there keeping him company, swinging your legs off his bed while you hum a tune. when a 'you've died' message comes onto the screen he just immediately restarts now, instead of when he used to see the 'you've died' message after you opened a bag of snacks at a crucial point in the game, the sudden rustling noise leading him to die, he used to turn back around at you his hand open wide in a silent request to share some with him.
now that's all gone. but at the same time it's like 'what was i expecting?' he knew you were only talking to him to get closer to his friends so it's expected that you suddenly disappear but you're not appearing in his friend's lives. no one is introducing you to everyone, announcing they're dating. he thinks that you're with todoroki or bakugou, they're the kind of alpha's who are more likely to keep their relationship private, he knows that he'd be bragging about it though but you're like a ghost, one second you were there and the next he can't even see you hanging on one of his friend's arm.
your friends have tried to convince you to move on, you can't though. the heartbreak is too raw, too painful. you want to soak in your sorrow just a bit more. you don't want a rebound, you want hanta, and you know you can't have him so you'll just hug the only blanket that smells faintly of him to your chest and cry. "but monoma's so cute! he's a beta too. haven't you said before that beta's make you feel at ease because alpha's can be scary?"
"can is the important word. some alpha's are pretty scary... hanta's not though." your voice get's quieter when you talk about hanta and your friend just sighs.
"think about it m'kay?"
you nod your head and play with the tassels of the blanket. it wasn't even a date, not a real one, however your friend still insisted that you wore something that wasn't your 'depression pyjamas'.
monoma is indeed nice, you huddle close together in the library and discuss russian literate and upcoming scheduled events. he makes you smile and when you got pen ink on your cheek after writing down some of his recommendations he carefully removed it making sure not to be too rough and hurt you. your mind is somewhere else though, the pain still fresh about that omega against hanta and thinking about his signature grin and his jokes that always made you laugh, and monoma isn't dumb, he doesn't want to pry but it certainly makes him happy when he notices that the longer you're spending together the more you seem to focus on him. you have every intention of seeing monoma again, you're never against making new friends.
hanta didn't expect this... how could he? you spent all your time with him so you could date bakugo or another friend but him? monoma walks into the lunch hall and he smells like you... there's hundreds of people walking and waiting in line like a tin of sardines but he could still smell that moss and rose as soon as monoma walked in. monoma had no clue he smelled like you, he's a beta after all, and you didn't think anything of it, even if monoma knew he smelt like you he wouldn't care, in fact he might of even goaded someone on if they made a comment about it, but that's what happens when two people huddle close together so they can hear each other because they have to whisper.
hanta doesn't think like that. all he can think about is someone else smells like you, a beta, monoma! someone who constantly tries to belittle and irk him and his friends. and what's even worse is he can't see you at all, you're nowhere around.
he tries to forget it, he can't though. he doesn't say anything about it, he texts more with that other omega and catches up on manga he's missed. he still thinks about you with monoma though.
he still thinks about your scent in the air and that's why he thinks he's imagining it at first, it must be in his head when he smells the faint chocolate chip- it's not. kaminari comes into the common room where everyone is relaxing, bakugou's in the middle of making dinner and everyone's hanging out, kaminari's smiling wide and almost looks like he's skipping. "guys, guys, guess what?" he doesn't wait for anyone to reply. "i met this cute beta from general studies, she introduced me to her friend, she's even cuter! she's an omega and she's adorable, so plush, soft and sweet y'know. she seemed a bit wary of me at first but her friend explained that she's like that with most alpha's but she told me she knew who i was! a cute omega somehow knows me and i actually got both their numbers! the omega looked kind of sad though but when she wasn't paying attention her friend let me know it wasn't anything to do with me and she's recently gone through a tough heartbreak. i was completely shocked, i can't believe someone would ever break up with her or reject her."
hanta stays quiet but he clenches his jaw, he can't believe monoma would upset you.
denki still talks about you but he tries to ignore it, he tells himself it's nothing to do with him, even when it's clear that denki is purposely dressing up to impress you and your friend when he goes to hang out with you both.
then he gets confused. he sees you for the first time in weeks in the lunch hall and you're sitting next to monoma, your scent all over each other. you're with some of your other friends and some of his and he watches monoma turn to you and say something, it makes you laugh. it doesn't make any sense to him. he knows he should stay out of it, it's nothing to do with him but you're laughing and smiling at someone who kaminari said left you heartbroken. he has to know.
"kaminari you know that omega who you've recently been hanging out with?"
"yeah, why?"
"i've recently seen her hanging around with monoma, i thought you said someone broke her heart?"
denki doesn't remember mentioning to him what you look like. "she's friend's with monoma, i keep telling her that she should stop talking to him but they get on well apparently and he's 'nice' to her, can you believe it. anyway how do you know what she looks like?"
he ignores the question. friend? monoma's your friend? who made you upset then?
you've been spending more and more time with neito but also with denki and you've also started to put more effort in in your appearance again, the use of your 'depression pyjamas' and 'heartbroken hoodies' disappearing. you and neito have started your own little book club with the two of you, and you've been been enjoying every paragraph of every novel and every minute of his company.
you're spending more time with denki, just the two of you, your friend has been busy so she hasn't been involved in your 'hang out sessions.' when you wake up in the morning and you know that you're going to spend time with denki that day you wake up in a good mood. he'll tie his hair back with a hairband and wear skinny black jeans and baggy tshirt that showcases the muscle of his arms, while you have just as much thought as him choosing your outfits wanting to look nice wherever the two of you go.
sometimes you just spend time around campus under the big willow tree as you chat, it's become a regular hang out spot between the two of you but other times you go out places. you've been to the cinema and even the aquarium, you looked around the fishes at awe but he was mostly watching you. you take him to your favourite cat cafe and he takes you out dancing and listening to live music.
he compliments you and it always makes your heart race, no alpha has ever said such nice things about you. he tells you how pretty you are and always tells you how your outfits are so cute. he calls you funny, no one has said you were funny before and he tells you you're sweet. you didn't know an alpha like denki could exist, lots of alphas act kind and give compliments but that's what it is, all an act, when it's denki you know he means it, every kind word spoken is what he really believes. you've never seen him even get slightly aggressive, he's not calm but instead he's full of energy with whatever he does, a complete ball of energy and even though you don't always match that pace you enjoy watching him. he treats you with respect which many alpha's don't.
it's clear that denki still is an alpha though and his actions make you feel comfortable. when you're in a busy crowd, your breathing spikes and you get nervous, denki slips his hand into yours and gently pulls you along to where you're going, not letting go until you're far away from the busy bustle of the streets, sometimes not letting go even then, holding your hand for ten minutes longer than necessary before letting go. when he tells you you're pretty it's said with an alluring purr. he makes sure you never walk alone, insisting that he walks you back to where you need to go. he pumps soothing pheromones out whenever you start getting anxious or begin overthinking and his normal scent stays with you even when you say goodbye- honey and cherries.
he's never been to the general studies dorm room accommodations and you haven't been into the hero studies accommodations since what happened with hanta. even though you haven't been into each others living quarters you both smell a lot like each other.
you never scent each other but you've never needed to before, it just happened, like what it started to rain and he draped his coat over your shoulders or when he holds your hand and his fingers brush against your scent glands on your wrist. denki's thought about scenting you before, wonders if you want something that smells like him in your nest. every time denki comes back from meeting you he's soaked in your scent and hanta hates it.
it's been months, five months and hanta misses you- he doesn't deny it anymore. it's like his alpha's screaming at him, growling and clawing his chest- it's wrong, it's wrong, it's wrong! something's- someone- is missing. and he knows if you were here you wouldn't like it, you always used to make odd comments about scary alpha's and he never would want you to think he was one of those alpha's but it's getting noticeable. he constantly smells of desire, want, guilt, depression- it's eating away at him. people give him weird looks and his friends have tried to broach the subject only to get immediately and completely shut down with his scent becoming even sourer. his easygoing attitude has disappeared and whenever something even slightly troubling happens it effects him all day.
you've noticed. you still think about hanta all the time, you wish everything could go back to what it used to be like, you know it can't though but you still noticed... noticed the way his eyes seem harsh but the bags under his eyes seem heavy, his scent smells wrong, even from across rooms you can smell it, you don't see him laughing anymore and you hate it. 'that omega must have broken up with him or something' your blood boils thinking about it, it's a new sensation for you. when hanta snapped at you your blood ran cold and a frozen shiver went down your spine when you saw him with that other omega, you remember feeling numb and hurt. you don't get jealous nor do you get worked up in a fit of anger and protectiveness but seeing hanta like that made you feel mad, even though he hurt you, you didn't want to see him get hurt. that's when you have to remind yourself that he doesn't want you and you move on from that worry and anger.
your nest is comfortable but it's long since lacked the scent that you love, some of your friends have given you their clothes and those are apart of your nest but it's still lacking. your omega whining that it's missing the things that once belonged to hanta, now those blankets and jumpers are tucked under your bed, serving no purpose, having lost their scent. when they still were in your nest though there would be some times when you woke up and saw them as you opened your eyes, it would take you longer getting ready those days, trying to make sure people didn't notice you had been crying.
denki feels like his dream has come true when you ask him for something that you can put in your nest, he's ecstatic. "do you want one thing or more?" he moves closer to you and holds your shoulder lightly, "hang on, what would you prefer, what materials do you like?" before you tell him your answer his face lights up like a lightbulb, "i've got a great idea! do you want to come to my dorm and choose what you want?"
you pause. you don't know if you want to do that, you don't know if you can do that. stepping foot in the heroes living area again sounds daunting but then you look at denki and see his smile and you don't want to say no.
all your friends are beta's apart from one other omega, they didn't put much thought in what they gave you, most of them gave you something from the back of their wardrobe that they haven't washed but haven't worn in awhile either and didn't really plan on wearing for awhile. your omega friend went out specifically to buy a fluffy blanket and scent it because they know you liked blankets like that. the things you got from hanta wasn't because he offered, you had asked him "can i keep this to put in my nest?" and he would reply 'sure,' his tone was always flat, like he didn't care what you did or if you took something. no one's ever asked if you wanted to choose before and you like that idea so you agree.
when you enter the hero's common room it's empty, everyone must be scattered around everywhere else, that's helpful for you as you didn't want to run into hanta. however you are a little nervous when you reach denki's door, you've never been in another alpha's room apart from hanta's before but you wonder what his room is like.
when you enter you don't know where to look, there's a huge shelf and it packed full of items that you hope you have a chance to see them up close. there's a gaming computer in the corner and in the other corner is a guitar. on the shelf you spot some figurines that you vaguely recognise. it doesn't surprise you that it seems like he has lots of clothes and accessorises, you think you see four different pairs of shoes just while standing in the doorway. your eyes widen as you look at his bed, "denki are- are those animal print?" you point at his pillow and cover.
denki chuckles, "it's meant to be my hero costume colours." he tells you smiling and you giggle.
"that makes more sense."
you're still standing near the door, unsure where to go, denki inwardly chuckles as he sees you standing there, timid, shy, awkward, and hesitant about moving, 'cute.' denki goes next to you and places his hand on the small of your back, gently ushering you inside, "have a look and take your pick," he grins.
you end up choosing multiple things and with each pick denki's face gets brighter and brighter knowing you want so many things. "when they lose my scent just let me know 'kay?" he leans close to you and your face heats up. you hum to let him know that you heard him. "do you want me to help carry these?"
"it's okay, i can manage. can you help with the doors though? you're busy after this right, so i'll see you soon?"
"absolutely," he smiles and opens up the door letting you walk under his arm, he walks next to you as you go down the halls. when you enter the common room, hanta, as well as a few others, are there. he immediately spots you, smells you, carrying a pile of kaminari's thing and he clenches his fist, you used to have things that smelled like him and now you have things of kaminari's- that doesn't sit right with him. in fact it sits very wrong. if people thought he was acting strange before they hadn't seen nothing because as soon as he sees you the smell of jealously and regret leaks out all through the room. denki shots him a confused look, not knowing what happened and you glance at him momentarily before quickly looking away, you remember what he said and tells yourself 'hanta wants nothing to do with you anymore.'
when you get back to your room, you add denki's things to your nest with a satisfied smile before you decide to watch youtube, quickly falling asleep as the youtuber's voice lulls you to sleep. apparently you were more tired than you thought or perhaps being surrounded with denki's scent makes you feel peaceful and comfortable, enough so that as soon as his scent is around you you fall asleep.
you're woken up by a loud, aggressive, knocking. you rub your eyes and slowly get up, opening the door and not looking who was on the other side. the sleepiness that was still covering your body like a cocoon was instantly ripped away when you see who's standing there- hanta.
"hanta? wh-what are you doing here?" you stumble over your words.
hanta furrows his eyebrows, "why did you have kaminari's clothes?"
your voice is soft as you reply, "i wanted them for my nest, i have lots of people's things for my nest."
"you don't want one of my things?" he asks.
with that question you take a step back a look of betrayal on your face. "why-why would i want your clothes hanta? you're the one... you're the one who ended it." you ball your hands into a fist and look away from him.
"ended it? ended what?"
your scent nearly overwhelms him as it sours, 'he knows that. does he take me as a fool, as someone he can trick and manipulate? is that how he sees me? how he sees omega's?', you frown. "ended us."
it's silent. hanta doesn't know how to react and you're wishing he never knocked on your door. you're making it sound like you were dating or courting but that makes no sense to hanta, he didn't 'end' anything, there wasn't anything to end, you just always spoke to him to try and get with his friends. but... with the way you're looking at him he's second guessing himself.
"i want you to leave," you voice is wobbly and you know your hands are shaking but you don't want him near you anymore. it hurts, it's entirely overwhelming.
"we need to talk about this," his voice is firm but not demanding, you don't yield.
"no we don't," you shut the door on his face but hanta can see the tears in your eyes as you do.
he feels lost as he goes back to his, he was so sure originally but now he thinks he may have gotten this all wrong. hanta goes straight to his room, ignoring everyone and rubs his hand over his face groaning, he thinks he really messed up. you looked adorable though, it was obvious to him that you just woke up and fell asleep in the clothes you were wearing, he's never seen you like that before, half asleep- he thinks he might have ruined his chance at ever seeing you like that again.
the following day he thinks about sending you a good morning message but decides against it, he doesn't want to make things worse and then a thought pops into his head. 'hang on, do i even have her number?'. instead of messaging you he rummages through his clothes to find things that he wants to give you, he wants to give you more things than you took from denki, he wants you to accept them. he puts them in his bag and goes back to your dorm to knock on your door again.
this time you're more awake when he knocks on your door, you still knit your brow and give him a small scowl. "what are you doing here?" you murmur. he unzips his bag and a sudden flood of sweet orange, lemongrass and muskiness takes over your senses and you wonder just how airtight is that bag. "what is this hanta?" you know what this is.
"i thought you might want some stuff that smells like me."
"i don't." your inner omega whines, 'i do.'
hanta drops the bag and it lands with a thud before he steps a bit closer to the door. "can i have some of your stuff then?"
you go as still as a statue, "excuse me?" breathlessly, nearly inaudible.
"all the things that smelt like you don't anymore. not even the pillow," blood rushes to your ears, 'the pillow?' you didn't even realise his pillow smelt like you, not only that but he misses it. "i thought you might have wanted some of my stuff, i think i choose things you'd like." your mouth is dry, not speaking and you watch him talk animatedly with his hands.
he doesn't pressure you to answer straight away, just standing in the hallway. "okay," you mumble and instead of you giving him something you hold out your arms so you can take the bag away from him. for the first time in months he grins, that easygoing, signature grin, of his that you adored, it makes your heart skip a beat and your body tingle. "let me go get you something." you come back with a comfortable jumper you often wear and a pillow. "i- um- i have lots of pillows, sixteen in fact. so i um- now you have a pillow that smells like me." as you hand him over the pillow, his cheeks go red and no matter how much he swallows, saliva starts to fill his mouth.
he doesn't hang around and you don't ask him to, he leaves after you've exchanged things and both go about the rest of your day however he's a lot more cheerful than the day before, there's still an underlining of remorse and desire that hanta's giving off but it's faint. he's cracking jokes again and joining in with more conversations, being less reclusive. you, on the other hand, pressed your lips together in a tight line in an attempt not to smile, your inner omega was squealing as you placed hanta's stuff in your nest, rearranging them again and again trying to find the perfect spot for them.
after that he slowly tries to insert himself back into your life and it leaves you utterly confused. you're too nervous to ask about what he's doing, too insecure of his intentions after he broke it off. he's asked you to come to his room, he has never once asked you before you always just turned up but he asked, you thought something might be wrong but instead when you turned up he had a bunch of blankets out in a huge makeshift pillow fort with his laptop out and netflix open. on the side you saw food from one of your favourite places to eat, a hole in the wall restaurant with the best chinese cuisine around, "i didn't know they do takeout." he smirks as he sees you let yourself in and didn't knock.
"they don't, not normally at least." he grins and pats just beside him for you to sit down, handing you a drink and asking, "what do you wanna watch?"
hanta's been busy doing hero work for a few days but he keeps in contact with you more than he used to, when he gets some real free time he asks you if he can see you. when you enter his room he covers your eyes with one of his hands and you're reminded how large they are making you shiver, with his other hand he puts it on your hip and tugs you forward so you're sitting on the bed. he's standing up and leaning towards you. "i've got you something." there's something on the side that you can't make out because a sheet is over it.
"what is it?" you ask curiously, trying to peer around hanta.
"no peeking," he teases and bops your nose with his finger and realise how close your faces are to each other and you think about backing up on the bed shyly, even though a part of you wants to get closer and wrap your arms around him, your face hot and fiddling with the hem of your shirt.
hanta turns around and presents you a bouquet of flowers, "these are so pretty hanta!" it's a huge bouquet, beautiful colourful oranges of marigold and tiger lily with the blush pink flowers hibiscus and hollyhock, the middle of the bouquet is the biggest red rose you've ever seen. you smile so big that your cheeks hurt. "thank you so much! i love it!"
whenever you're with monoma or kaminari and he sees you he makes sure to call you by affectionate names, typically its 'sweetheart' sometimes he lets it slip and calls you his omega. even though you've never discussed anything like that.
you get a text from hanta asking if you want to watch a movie tonight and you whine, it takes every fibre in your body to send a reply- a reply that's appropriate. you've been avoiding hanta for a couple days because you've been in pre-heat and it hit you like a ton of bricks when you woke up this morning, you've gone into heat. your hands are shaky and tears fall down your face, already feeling the effects of it but you're able to send him a message anyway, telling him you can't and you won't be able to see him for awhile. hanta doesn't connect the dots, your text has so many typos and you didn't even end the message with an emoji or emoticon like you usually do, he gets worried. what if he's done something wrong again? what if something happened to you? he wants to respect your wishes but you don't read the messages he sends afterwards and his legs move on his own. he needs to see you to make sure you're okay.
the walk to your building is a blur, all he remembers is knocking on your door. "are you okay sweets? you're not replying to my messages, i'm worried." your door is soundproof and traps in scents, just like all the dorm rooms in the school but you could still slightly hear him, it's muffled but your ear must be attuned to the presence of hanta.
it must be the same for hanta because he hears the whiny moan you let out when you hear his voice. his knocking gets more rapid, "sweetheart i need to know that you're okay." you don't respond, his authoritative tone makes slick drip down your thighs. when that happens you whine loudly and hanta's eyes dilate. if he presses himself close enough to the door he can start to smell the heat of an omega leaking through- your heat.
"han'" your words are slurred as you try to hump your pillow, your pyjama top is pushed up to your breasts and your shorts hurriedly pushed down to your ankles as you leave a wet patch on the pillow and hold hanta's shirt tightly in your hand.
hanta is unsure of what he should do, everything is telling him to open the door at whatever cost but he's clinging the small part of rationality that remains, what even are you two? you don't introduce him as your boyfriend but you never stop his advancing and you seem welcoming to his courting. what would happen if he went through that door and you didn't want him, after your heat you would hate him, what if he really ruined his chance with you and you'd prefer to spend your heat with another alpha like kaminari? or what if you don't even want to spend your heat with an alpha at all, it's extremely uncommon but if anyone would do it would be you, what if you want monoma instead. he's aware you were trying to say his name a second ago but that could only be because you heard him.
he considers leaving, even considers calling kaminari but your moans get louder and seem strangled, "please alpha!" hanta closes his eyes tightly and grips onto his phone. "hanta need you s'much." hanta only has so much self control. he hopes that you'll forgive him if he's read the situation wrong but you're crying out for him. if it was a different omega it would be different but it's not, it's you.
"omega, open the door. right now!" he growls and you seize your clumsy movement, stumbling over to the door and hanta can hear things falling down in your room from where you've bumped into the table unsteadily. you shakily unlock the door and before you can even speak hanta's moving inside and shutting the door quickly and slamming your body against the wall, breathing deeply into the crook of your neck and groaning, "you smell fucking intoxicating sweets." he grunts and just as quick as he stepped into your space he's stepping out of it. " 'mega i need to know right now. do you want this? me?" his hands itches to reach out to you. "'cause if you don't i need you to tell me because i can't stop myself. i don't want to be the kind of alpha that scares you."
you want him, you want him so bad and when he told you that he doesn't want to scare you, you shiver- this is the calming, comforting alpha that you courted all those months ago. you grab hold of his shirt and mumble into his chest so you don't have to look at him in the eye. "want this. want this real bad alpha."
hanta takes in a breath at the information, breath which he didn't realise he was holding. he reaches down to where your head is pressed into his chest and tilts your chin up with his fingers, "look at me sweets." you do what you're told and look up at him, doe eyes wide. he smiles sincerely and then he kisses you deeply like you're his only source of oxygen, biting your lip and swiping his tongue against your bottom lip to allow him entry and groaning as soon as your tongues make contact. when he stops and lets you get air your lips are swollen and saliva is messily all over your chin, both yours and his. "good omega," he purrs and a very visible shudder runs through you making him chuckle at your reaction.
your hands clutch onto his shirt and you try and get friction anywhere you can, pressing your body against his and whining loudly. even though you're still standing up he's keeping you steady and supporting your weight, one hand under your arm, the other on your soft waist, without his help you'd fall down instantly. "please, pl-," you try and beg but your mind is getting foggier and foggier, all you know is your alpha is in front of you and he can help and make you feel better.
he's laying wet kisses down your neck before pausing his movements and looking back at you, placing a chaste kiss on your cheek, "it's okay sweetheart, don't worry. i've got you. i'll make you feel so good, i promise. there's my sweet little omega."
