" ~Kacchan~, wake up. We have exams today." I opened my eyes and turned to see a mess of curly green hair beside me. " Mm, what time is it?" I asked in a groggy morning voice. He ran a hand through my hair and planted a kiss on my forehead. " It's 5:00 am, the written exams start at 6:30 am and then the physical exam starts at 11:00 am." He said and I let out an exhausted groan.

" Don't worry, once we are done with this we can prepare and pack for our trip." He said and planted another kiss on my forehead. I got up and walked over to the closet and stopped when I noticed it was empty.

" I told you last night that I moved everything out of there and into out here. Your clothes are in the dresser with mine." He said and got up himself and started stripping and I quickly looked away as my face grew hot.

" How many times will you act all embarrassed?" He said and pulled his uniform on. I quickly grabbed my own and put it on, even though I could feel his eyes checking me out. " Pervert." I remarked and all he did was laugh. " I'm a pervert again? Because I am admiring what belongs to me?" I rolled my eyes and left the bedroom and entered the bathroom. " You have to put a ring on it first," I said but stopped when I recalled a memory where I had said that same sentence. " Oh, I intend to." He remarked back and I ran a hand through my hair.

I looked in the mirror and sighed. I look like a hot fucking mess. I quickly brushed my teeth and tried to at least make my hair look less messy than it usually was. I grabbed an apple once I left the bathroom and entered the kitchen and took a bite while leaning on the counter.

" Pass me one?" He asked while walking out with a bright smile on his face. I grabbed another apple and tossed it to him. He caught it with ease and took a bite.

" We should head out, we don't want to be late." He said and I nodded quickly, finishing my apple and throwing the core away. We left the dorm and met up with the group of assholes who annoyed the shit out of me last night.

" Bakubro! Thank you again for saving our butts." Shitty hair said with a wide shark-toothed smile and a thumbs up. I shrugged my shoulders, " Whatever, I won't do it next time so actually pay attention in class." I said as we made it to the classroom.

I took my seat and laid my head on the desk. "I'm so fucking tired..." I groaned to myself. I heard everyone complaining again and my head started pounding. " Everyone just shut the hell up. It's too damn early!" I yelled and started to bang my head on the desk. A bad habit I started doing whenever I was annoyed.

" Enough! Exams will begin now. I am passing out your packets and pencils. You aren't allowed to use your own because someone can't be trusted." He paused and looked over at dunce face. " It was only one time!" He whined and Aizawa pinched the bridge of his nose, " Just shut up and take your damn exam." He said and finished passing out the packets and pencils. " There are twenty pages. You have four hours to finish. Then an hour break before the physical exam. Good luck. Whoever fails will be doing supplementary assignments during the trip. That's all. Now begin." He said and walked back to his desk and sat down.

I looked down at my packet and sighed. This is going to be a long day. I opened it and then began.

" I'm so exhausted!" Racoon eyes whined as she stretched at her seat. We finished the written exam and now had an hour break before the physical exams.

" How'd you think you did?" I looked over to see that Deku had taken the empty seat beside me. His eyes had started to form dark bags underneath them. " I don't have to think. I know I aced it." I said and he let out a chuckle. " Yeah, it was pretty easy. Except for the last part. That diagram was so tricky, I honestly took a half hour alone just trying to break it down before I figured it out." He said and rubbed the back of his neck.

" It was the STARE method. Stop, Think, Assess, Report, Engage." I said and he nodded. " Yeah, I figured that out. I was actually taught a different method called SAED. Stop and observe your surroundings, Assess the situation, Engage appropriately, Detain the perpetrator and deliver them into judicial custody." He said and I quirked a brow, " America seems to be more confident in their heroes to allow them to detain the perpetrator themselves." I said and he nodded, " America is very different from Japan. They have more...What's the word.." He started and placed a hand on his chin and started to mutter.

" Basically, Japan is primarily a civil law country, while the United States is primarily a common law country. So the judicial regulations are different...However, After World War II, there was a major legal reform, and the 1947 Constitution was drawn up under the Allied Occupation, with significant American influence. The current Japanese legal system is a hybrid of continental and American law. Again, Japan has a civil law legal system, although some statutory regimes, such as those relating to securities regulations, are somewhat modeled on regulations in common law jurisdictions. There is no federal system, and all courts are unified under the Supreme Court of Japan and looked on by a Prime Minister instead of a President–,"

" Deku! I get it! Jeez! I did not need a history lesson!" I interrupted him and he looked at me and let out a laugh. " Sorry, Kacchan...I guess I must've got carried away. I'm a big fan of history and such." I shook my head, " You are such a nerd."

" Wow, I didn't know you were very knowledgeable about our country's past." I turned my head to see Icy-hot standing while holding a Japan world history textbook. " Did you seriously fucking check to make sure his rant was accurate?" I scoffed and he took a seat before opening the text book to a page that literally said everything Deku had said but in more dynamic and detail.

" Well let's not forget that I was born here, I just moved away. And I really enjoy learning history. I am actually considering becoming a historian or history teacher as my back up plan if being a hero doesn't work out." Deku said and Icy-hot gave him a smile, I felt a little off put and rolled my eyes and faced forward.

That damn asshole better stay away from Deku if he knows what's good for him.

" That's a good plan, I'm actually thinking about becoming a psychiatrist as my back up plan. I want to put myself out there and help young children and families work out their differences so no one has to grow up feeling unloved." Icy-hot said and I looked at him with an annoyed look. No one asked you, asshole.

" What about you Kacchan? Any back up plans?" Deku asked and I shrugged really not feeling this conversation. " I guess either becoming a chef and owning my on restaurant or working with the old hag in the fashion design industry as a model or whatever." I said and his eyes lit up, " A chef! Or a model? You really like the spotlight huh?" He teased and I rolled my eyes and put my face down into the desk again.

" I could definitely see Bakubro being a chef! His cooking is amazing!" I heard Shitty-hair announce and I groaned. Now everyone is in this fucking conversation. " I've never really thought about a back up plan...But if I had to choose, I'd probably want to be a personal trainer that owns his own gym!" I cringed but could actually see him being a personal trainer.

" That sounds amazing! Owning your own gym and being a personal trainer? Big money right there!" Round face said and I could hear them laughing.

" I've actually always wanted to be an architect! To work with my parents at their construction company! I'd make big money and help support them!!" She said and I started to bang my head on the desk again. Will this fucking conversation just end already?!

" I'd want to be a detective, fighting crime, solving mysteries, and getting to personally lock those injustices up!" - Iida

" I'd like to be a Rainforest Ecological Scientist. Ribbit." -Tsu

" A musician for sure." - Jiro

" Join the military and become a colonel." - Shouji

" A choreographer! Definitely!" - Mina

" Open up my own martial arts dojo." - Ojiro

" Own my own rock bar and casino..." - Tokoyami

" Owning my own company that specializes in beauty, quirks, and modifications. Along with my own fashion line and designer." - Momo

" I guess an artist..." - Koda

" I guess the next spiderman, I mean I have the sticky tape." - Sero

" A model for sure!" - Hagakure

" A hypnotherapist or hypnosis specialist." - Shinso

" A fashion designer, Mon Ami!" - Aoyama

" A male stripper!" - Denki

" And we're done! Everyone back to your seats! The physical exam will start in ten minutes. Get your hero suits on and meet at ground beta." Aizawa interrupted and I for once was relieved. I thought this fucking conversation would never end.

" What do you think the exam will be this time around?"

" I don't know, we had to fight our teachers and pro heroes two years in a row!"

" Just relax the more you worry, the more likely you are to fail."

I ran a hand through my hair as everyone started complaining and whining again. Like come the fuck on. We are nineteen year olds!

" Enough, today is going to be a little different. Instead of battling one of the teachers or pro heroes, your physical exam will be focusing on how to properly work through pheromones. Omegas will be taking this separately from the Alphas. The class has been split up. My group I'll call your pairings. The rest of you head over to Ectoplasm.

My group for Omegas

Bakugou and Tokoyami

Kaminari and Uraraka

Jiro and Ashido

My group for Alphas

Deku and Shinso

Todoroki and Asui

Kirishima and Momo

My group, head over to screening room two. The rest of you head to screening room four." He finished and watched as the remaining eight left and my group walked over to room two.

" Pheromones! I mean I understand that it's important to be aware and cautious of them...But still!" Mina whined again. I pinched the bridge of my nose and shook my head.

" Just breathe, Kacchan. Don't worry." Deku said and pulled me into a hug. I wanted to pull away but decided against it. I guess I am really touch deprived.

" Alright, group one for the Omegas you are up first. I'm going to explain this once so pay attention. You and your teammate will have to find the hostage in that crumbling building over there. However the "villain" is a powerful alpha that has strong pheromones that might force you into submission. Your task is to save the hostage while fighting off the pheromones and not succumbing to your omegan instincts. Is this understood? You have ten minutes!" I nodded and felt my body becoming uneasy.

I mean we've practiced with pheromones before and even took an immune class for it. However, I'm still uneasy because I actually struggled a lot with that class. My fucking inner omega is a pussy!

" Alright the exam begins once you exit. Good luck. On your mark, get set, GO!" He said and I exited the screening room door with birdface beside me.

I jumped down and started running over to the building Aizawa pointed at during his instructions. " Bakugou, how do you want to do this?" He asked and I looked around and spotted an open window. " There's a window. You can fly right?" I asked and he nodded, summoning his dark shadow or whatever. I used my quirk and propelled myself upwards and into the window. The room was dark but was manageable.

" We're on the fourth floor. My guess is that the bottom levels are caved in. You take the top floors and I'll take the bottom. There's more light up there so you won't have to worry about your quirk going berserk." He nodded his head and we split up. I ran through the hallways and found a staircase.

I quickly ran down it and made it to the third floor. Just as I suspected they were dark and starting to cave in under the weight. I lit a small explosion in my hand so I could at least see where I was going.

I scanned the entire third floor but found nothing. I brought my finger up and pressed the button. " Third floor is clear," I said and waited for a response. " Fifth and sixth are clear." He responded and I quickly found another stair case but the door was jammed.

I contemplated setting off an explosion but that could possibly cause more damage and the structure could collapse and crush me. I'll just have to find another way.

I looked around and notice a hole in the floor. It seemed big enough for me to fit so without a second thought I jumped through it. I landed onto the ground below and set another explosion in my hand to light my way. I looked around.

It appeared to be a mess hall or some sort of dining room. Tables and chairs were everywhere and it looked like the front structures were barely holding up.

" Baku-...Cov--e–...Y–...N--o–...To--o...S--t--r–..." The earpeace buzzed in and I could only hear bits and pieces of what he was saying. " What? I couldn't understand you. There might be some interference because of the structure!" I yelled into the ear piece.

" Co--v–...N--o..," The earpiece went silent and I thought about going back for him but decided to wait. I needed to find the hostage. If they are down here, they are moments away from being crushed.

I started running and searching but found nothing. I made it to another hallway but there was a closed door. I placed my hand on the knob and opened the door.

Almost right away I was hit in the face with overpowering pheromones. I gasped and fell to my knees. It was burning my nose and my finish was getting blurry. Shit! I quickly pulled one of my bandages from my pocket that I had for emergencies and wrapped it around my nose. I didn't care if I looked ridiculous, I had to finish the exam. I pulled myself up and tried to push through the pain and screamed when the hostage was nowhere to be seen.

I pushed the door open to the final staircase and quickly made myself down. I winced and gagged. The pheromones were stronger down here, like the alpha was actually here. I felt my eyes water and my body failing on me. No...I can't give up! I looked everywhere I could from my hunched over position and noticed a dummy laying on a pile of fallen debris.

The fucking hostage! I tried to move but instead I fell to the ground and gasped and bared my neck in submission. No! I can't! I felt tears pool in my eyes. The hostage is right there! I bit my lip drawing blood and forced my body to stand. I took a step forward and fell to the ground again.

" This is fucked up! He's suffering! What level are those pheromones at?!" Back in the screening room both Deku and Todoroki were yelling and threatening the teacher in front of them. Tokoyami had already fallen into submission and wasn't able to move, he had accidentally fallen through a hole in the floor and was thrown all the way down to level three when the pheromones started to release and since there was another hole right beside him he wasn't able to resist. Bakugou was still fighting with bandages wrapped around his nose and the Alphas were not having any of it.

" It's at level ten." Aizawa said and both Kirishima and Shinso had to hold Todorki and Deku back from attacking their teacher. " Level ten?! Are you insane! That's the highest level! Not even some pro heroes can withstand it!" Deku screamed and Aizawa put his hand up. " What if this was real life? There are Alphas out there like the omegan killer that use their pheromones to force an omega into submission! We need them to be strong and to fight through it! Because if a time comes where any of the omegas are put in a situation with an alpha with powerful pheromones they need to be prepared or they will die." Aizawa said and Deku took a deep breath and sighed. He knew his teacher was right, he just had a fucked up way of teaching the lesson.

Shinso released Deku and gave him a pat on the shoulder. " Look, Bakugou hasn't given up yet. He's fighting. Have some more faith in your mate. He's one hell of an omega." Shinso said and Deku turned his attention to the monitor and sure enough he saw his mate struggling and fighting to get up.

'You can do this Kacchan...I know you can...'

My vision was already hazed and I could barely see my that's in front of me. I forced myself up to my hands and knees and crawled slowly over to the dummy. I used the fallen debris for support and pushed myself up. I grabbed the dummy and quickly looked around for any light. I looked aboved where the debris had fallen and saw light relfecting off the dust in the air. It was faint but still there. I set off an explosion and forced myself through the whole and landed on the floor above. The phermones weren't as strong but were still potent. I need to get to hgher ground. I slowly walked using the wall for support and saw the whole I had jumped through earlier. I set off another explosion and landed on the third floor. I looked over and quickly noticed the passed out birdface.

He was covered in dirt and it appeared he must've fallen down. I wasted no time and picked him up with my free hand and dragged his limp body with me and searched for a window. I found one and gently placed both the dummy and birdface down at a distance and broke the window, finally allowing fresh air to flow in. I grabbed the both of them again and jumped out the window and used an explosion to help minimize the impact. I fell to the ground gasping and heard the timer go off.

I did it...I fucking did it...I tried to keep my eyes open but my body refused to listen to me. Soon enough I succumbed to a dreamless slumber.

" Look! He's finally waking up!" I winced and heard a squeaky voice and slowly opened my eyes to see everyone from Aizawa's group standing around my bed. Including a banded birdface.

" Damn, my head really hurts." I said and sat up but didn't get the chance to fully when I was pounced on and had my face nuzzled. " Oh Kacchan! You scared me so much!" I groaned and tried to get the curly greened alpha off of my aching body. " Stop whining, asshole. I wasn't even asleep for that long." He pulled away and shook his head. " You were asleep for four days straight! We had to postpone the trip till Monday because you didn't wake up!" He said and I looked at him trying to figure out if he was lying. " No fucking way! What day is it?!"

" It's Saturday. Exams were on Tuesday." Birdface said and I laid my head back in disbelief. " What the hell, I must've been really tired." Deku shook his head and sighed. " No, Aizawa had the pheromones at level ten, and you fought through it and passed with a perfect score!" He said and I sighed, that's at least one less thing for me to worry about.

" Don't crowd him and get off him! I don't care if you're his mate! He needs rest!" I heard the old lady yell and I scoffed. " I don't need no more damn rest! I'm getting up and leaving! I'll go sleep in my own damn dorm room!" I said and she walked over to me but not before telling one of them to pull deku off of me.

" I'm glad to see you awake, how are you feeling?" She asked and I just groaned and sat up. " I'm fine. My body just aches." She nodded and handed me two gummy bears. " Eat these and you're free to go." I quickly ate them and got up and tried to stand but instantly fell to the ground.

" What the fuck! My legs feel like fucking jelly!" I hissed and felt arms wrap around me and lift me off the floor and hold me bridal style.

" It's expected you haven't moved in days. Come on Kacchan. Just relax and I'll carry you up." I sighed and just relaxed. I'm not in the mood to throw a fit.

We made it to the dorm room and he sat me down on the sofa and that's when I noticed the curry from a few days still on the ground. " What the hell, Deku, do you not know how to clean?" He looked down and I saw his eyes widen and then facepalm. " Oh god, I haven't been in the room since Tuesday. I'm sorry. I couldn't bring myself to leave your side. So I just slept in the infirmary beside you." I let a small smile creep on my face and I sighed. " It's fine, I'll let you off the hook just this once." I miciked his words from the night before exams. He laughed and picked up the bag, silently thanking the gods that it didn't spill all over the floor.

" How about we get changed and go get some food?" He asked and looked at me for approval. I shrugged and tried to stand and sighed in relief when my legs actually listened to me this time.

" Yeah, sounds like a good idea."

" Are you excited for the trip, Midoryia?!" Round face asked, sitting beside Deku. " Yes, this is my first time being on one. But I'm even more excited to be able to spend it with Kacchan." She gave him a smile and nodded, " I know, Tsu and I haven't had time to ourselves in a long time. Outside of the school setting I mean." She said and Deku nodded and shifted closer to me.

" Well, I think you should go spend some time with her. I'm going to take a nap with my mate. You're welcome to stay and sit there in silence if that's what you want." She puffed out her cheeks and I snorted as she got up and walked down the steps and over to her own seat.

" You're such a dick...I fucking love it.." He chuckled and nuzzled into my neck. " I know you do. That's why I love you.." I nuzzled back and cuddled close to him, laying my head on his lap. He leant down and kissed my forehead and ran his fingers through my hair. I felt my body relax and send out a vibrating noise from my chest.

" Aww my baby is purring...So adorable." I quickly stopped it and growled. " Shut up, I'm comfortable.." He chuckled and laid his head against the wall. " Relax and go to sleep. Trust me you're going to need the rest." I nodded and yawned, cuddling closer in his lap.

" Hurry up, take the picture! He looks so cute!"

" Mina! Don't do it! Bakugou is going to kill you!"

" Oh shut up! I'll use this as blackmail!"

I felt my eyes flutter open only to see myself surrounded by idiots with their phones out. " What the fuck?" I asked, trying to sit up only to get my body shoved back down. " Can I help you? Taking pictures of me and my mate sleeping? Fucking perverts! Not to mention you woke him up! Fucking assholes!!" I winced as Deku yelled at the group of extras causing them to back up in fear.

" Sorry Midobro I tried to stop them..." I growled and shoved Deku's arm off of me and sat up. " Why the hell did we stop?" I asked looking out the window only to see patches of trees surrounding us. " For fucks sake! Why are we in the middle of a forest?!" I stood up and stomped down the bus stairs. I was about to push the bus doors open when someone yanked me back.

" Where do you think you're going? It isn't nice to shove your mate's arm out of the way..." I growled and turned around only to see Deku giving me a cocky grin. " Shut up...and help me get the door open." He shook his head and dragged me back up the stairs to our seats. " Sorry kacchan...Mr. Aizawa told us to stay in the bus. Apparently they ran into some navigation troubles." I growled and slouched back in my seat.

" So is anyone going to question why they haven't come back yet? It's been over four hours..." I rolled my eyes and looked up at Deku.

" Hey Deku...I need my bag." He stopped rubbing his hand through my hair and looked down at me since I was laying my head in his lap. " Don't tell me..." I gulped. " Did you tell Mr. Aizawa?" I nodded. " Recovery Girl...Gave me a bottle of suppressants to suppress it until we got back..." He nodded and I stood up with him. " Is it inside the bus...or..." I shook my head. " No, it's in my suitcase." He nodded and took my hand in his.

" You're coming with me cause I suck at finding things." I snorted and he pushed open the bus doors. We stepped out and looked around. When did it get so dark...I grabbed onto his arm and clung to it. We walked over to the back of the bus and opened the suitcase compartment. I started going through the bags until I found mine and Deku's. I handed it to him and grabbed my own. I quickly shut the compartment and we got back on the bus, closing the doors behind us.

" Where'd you two go? It's pretty dark out..." I scoffed and walked back to my seat and quickly fished out the bottle popping two of the pills into my mouth. I chugged the water and sighed as my body calmed down.

" Better?" I nodded and cuddled up against him, suddenly feeling very sleepy. I was about to close my eyes when I smelt something off. I sat up and looked around. Deku sniffed and growled. " Deku...it smells like smoke!" I jumped up and everyone was already standing.

" OUT GET OUT NOW!!!" They all nodded and filed out of the bus quickly grabbing their luggage from the back of the bus. We put some distance between us and the bus and watched in fear as it exploded. I shrieked and latched myself onto Deku. Why am I so scared?! What's going on with me?!

" Oh my goodness!! Where...what just happened?!! We all could've died!!" I growled and looked up seeing a pitch black sky. " We need to find Mr. Aizawa and the rest of the teachers." I looked at Deku. Something doesn't feel right...This seems too coincidental to be staged...I quickly finished out my phone and pressed the on button. No reception...That makes no sense. I just had a reception four hours ago...

" Hey Kiri I'm scared..." I looked over and my eyes narrowed..It seems all the omegas are suddenly more afraid than usual...something's definitely wrong.

" Deku...holy shit what is that thing!" I felt my body tremble in fear as a giant nomu stood inches from us. One arm a chainsaw and the other an ax.

" REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKK!!!" It screamed and started charging towards us.

" EVERYONE PROTECT YOUR MATES! HURRY WE NEED TO FIND THE TEACHERS!" Deku yelled and then picked me up in my bridal style. " D-Deku...?" He looked down at me, his eyes softening. " Don't worry, just hold onto me. I'm going to protect you no matter what..."
