Chapter Text
Junna wakes up to the smell of banana and a small hint of blueberries penetrating her sense of smell. As she walks out of her bedroom and into the living room, she was greeted by a cheerful smile on her roommate's face, ''Junna-chan! Good morning, I baked banana muffins for everyone. You should eat now as it's warm like the rest of them." Her other dorm mates are sitting on the couch, quickly devouring the baked muffins. Karen in particular is stuffing her mouth while singing praises in Nana's way. Junna apologetically waves her hand as she gets closer to the kitchen counter, "Sorry Nana, I have to get to school early today. I'll take one to school and eat during lunch time." Nana, with smile that can't be deciphered on her face, takes a few seconds to respond, " It's for that, right? If that's the case, you should hurry. Make sure to take the lunch I made for you too." Junna takes the box containing the banana muffin and her lunch and speedily runs to school.
------------------------
The reason why Junna had to go to school early today is because she has to pick up her suppressants in the nurse's office as her heat draws near. One of the good thing about Seisho Music Academy is that they provide suppressants free of charge for Alphas and Omega students alike. While picking up her suppressants, the nurses notices the dark circles around her eyes and urges her to not work so hard to give her body rest. But how could she? How could she slack off when she isn't even the top student of her class, and be even more behind her peers? While deprecating thoughts run wild in her brain, all she could do is give a small nod to the nurse.
------------------------
Every omega's symptoms before their heat varies, but feeling sluggish and heightened sense of smell are universal symptoms and Junna is no different. Junna is exhausted from smelling multiple different scents from her classmates throughout the day.
All that grandiose thinking about not slacking off yet here I am resting my head on my desk during break time when I should be practicing my lines for the upcoming play.
Her bag hooked to her desk is slightly open and as Junna continues to suffer from her pre-heat symptoms, the scent of bananas slips through. It gives her a feeling of the summer sun shining on her face, the illuminating moon protecting her from the dark, and a warm hug after coming back home. The image of of a certain someone's smile flashes on her mind and it eases her nausea for a bit.
Multiple studies backed up by experts showed that only by having an alpha mate will the heat symptoms lessen by using their pheromones to calm an omega, as it can influence an omega's mood.
But Daiba Nana is a beta and doesn't emit pheromones.
