  1. First, the A/B/O etiquette in Australia is also something that I just know after I read your reply. I don’t have the intention to offend anyone.
    Second, the A/B/O etiquettes for the story. There are 3 dynamics: Alpha, Beta, and Omega. Alphas have ruts, while Omegas have heats. Alphas, Betas, and Omegas emit some kind of personal smell (body odor). However, Betas’ personal smell is muted compared to Alphas and Omegas. Usually, we can know what kind of feelings every person have through this smell. For example, when they’re happy, sad, angry, possessive, aroused, or every other feelings.
    Betas are our most everyday average people. In militaristic society, they’re most likely (not all, just most) to be foot soldiers. They have none of the sensitivity to smell like Alphas and Omegas. They also don’t have ruts or heats. They can be impregnated by Alphas (male and female) and impregnate Omegas (again, male and female).
    Alphas are usually the cream of the crop. In militaristic society, they’re most likely to be General or other Head figures. They have sensitive smell like Wolves. They can impose Alpha Command to all three dynamics, in which will impact Betas and Omegas more. They have much more enhanced physical attributes than Betas and Omegas. They usually have their ruts periodically (this period, I will let the author decides whether every month or every three months). Once they’re in ruts, it will usually last to one week at most. In this period, most (not all, usually only the weak-minded or morally lacking ones) Alphas usually lost their inhibitions and become more animalistic and constantly in hazes of lust. Their ruts can even trigger nearby Omegas to their heats. When Alphas want to court someone (all 3 dynamics), they usually gives gifts that has been rubbed against their smell glands so that the gifts will have their smell, making it obvious that they intend to court. Usually, Alphas have more masculine smells, such as musk, smoke, gunpowder, sea salt, cedar, etc.
    Omegas are usually the bottom of pyramids. However, for this story, can we make it so that while Omegas are weaker in somatic aspects compare to Alphas and Betas, Omegas make it up by having the strongest minds (intelligence, psychics) and hearts (empathy). So, in the story, all 3 dynamics are equal. Only the narrow-minded and old-fashioned ones (cough*End**vor*cough) have the ancient way of thinking. Omegas have sweeter and feminine smells, such as fruits, flowers, cakes, or other sugary things. Omegas have their heats like Alphas have their ruts, periodically (animalistic and in constant haze of lust for a week). In their pre-heats, most Omegas will subconsciously want to build nest (their safe havens). They will collect things that will make them comfortable (soft wool blankets, soft pillows, soft woolen animal dolls, etc). They will also collect things that has the smell of their precious people (platonically and romantically). Since heats mean they’re searching for mates, so Omegas will especially want things that have the smell of their beloved in abundance.
    Since Omega!Shouto is isolated from the outside world, he doesn’t know this information. So, he just whimsically asks for Izuku’s things that preferably have been drenched in Izuku’s smell. In which will make gay disaster Izuku panic and show the world what a great disaster he is. A little angst due to the struggle is alright as long we have happy ending, though I prefer the comedic aspect of their courting more. Does the explanation good enough or I’ll have to include more in depth?
    Lastly, for how long the fic is. Preferably more than 2000 words. I thrive on comedy and sweet fluffy romance.
    Thank you very much.

      How does scenting stuff work? I knew most of that other stuff already, but that's never been very clear to me. Thanks for clarifying things! I knew the basics but you added a lot of more detailed info. I don't really know how to write a "Haze of lust" or what lust is even like but I can try my best but at least animalistic behavior is no stranger to me. I'm sorry in advance if this doesn't turn out exactly how you were expecting but I'm going to try my best! What POV do you want? I think I might start writing it now but if it ends up being something different then what you wanted I can always change that.
