Chapter Text
Chrissy, Robin, and Nancy were sitting together working on a presentation when Nancy and Robin began to scent something new. The heavenly scent made Robin's mouth water, a fresh baked good vanilla cupcake with cherry frosting was wafting into her nose. Nancy licked her lips, standing up. "Maybe my mom is making cupcakes with Holly?"
"What?" Chrissy asked, confused.
"Can't you smell the treat?"
"No?" Chrissy cocked her head, confusion shifting over her face.
"You can't?"
Chrissy shook her head again, Robin leaned forward a bit before her eyes widened in understanding. "Chrissy, your scent, it came in."
Nancy looked between Robin and Chrissy, before she began to understand what she meant. "You're an omega Chrissy, you smell like a cherry cupcake."
Chrissy looked down at herself, then the scent hit her as she brought her top to her nose. "Oh…. I- I was honestly hoping to be a beta.. This is going to just be more of a headache…"
"Well, at least you know you smell really good…" Robin mumbled.
Nancy nodded in agreement, surprised by how strong her new scent was. Chrissy knew as soon as she got home her mother would be all over her, she would have to follow new customs for their community as an unmatched omega. She would have to wear a collar to cover he scent glands, she at least knew her and Steve would commiserate about the experience together. Though Steve was lucky, while his parents were strict they were also hardly around. She sighed, her schedule would be slightly adjusted to fit in an omega health course.
She looked up longingly at the two betas in front of her. "Maybe I could find some patches, they would make me smell like a beta instead?"
"Why don't you want to be an omega?"
"Too many rules, our society punishes us for just existing. I mean, think about Steve."
The girls were silent for a moment, they knew that it had been a sucky situation for Steve but male omegas knew they were omegas from birth, not just from puberty. He had worn a collar or something that covered his scent glands from childhood, he had always had a private bathroom however which they thought was nice. The shared beta and omega bathroom was always dirty. Steve hadn't been allowed to join some sports because of her second gender, and Chrissy was just thankful she was already on the cheer team. Cheer captain no less. Many sports would pick omegas last as they worried about them being out for their heat. Omegas were on all sorts of drugs to keep their heats or scents hidden or downplayed as well.
"I mean, at least you and Steve will have more in common?"
"I guess…."
"You get your own private lunch…"
"That feels also like a punishment…"
The girls sighed, but understood. Chrissy felt herself growing frustrated, tears were threatening to fall. There was just another thing they all said about omegas, whiny and crybabies. "I- You know I think my mother is going to have a cow over this. She is strict as she is already, now I have to worry about heats and anything else omegas have to worry about on top of it? What if they drop me form cheer captain."
"You have us," Robin offered, "we aren't going to leave you just because you are an omega."
"You won't, but some might…"
She was trying her best not to sob. "Would you like us to call Steve?"
"No, no.. I'm okay.. I- I am fine…"
Robin was examining Chrissy with desperation, she had a huge crush on Chrissy, now that she was officially an omega she was trying not to show her feelings so much. It was taboo for female betas to want female betas, but it was nearly unheard of for betas to be with omegas in any capacity.
Robin listened to Chrissy share her fears, and then offered a hug. Chrissy fell into her hug happily, thankful for her offer.
Nancy smirked softly. "I mean maybe if we find you some patches, you can keep it hidden?"
"Maybe?" Chrissy grinned. "You think I could?"
"We could try, let me find some scent patches."
"You have some?" Chrissy asked, not realizing most betas had a need for any.
"Well, they aren't mine they're Steve's back up set. He has a set of patches in nearly every house he frequents except yours and Billy's."
"Why not Billy's?"
"Billy's dad would think it was his, and freak." Robin explained. Chrissy nodded, trying to understand based off what she knew. She and Billy hardly interacted, Steve being their only tie. Chrissy was slowly joining their pack, but cheer also kept her busy.
Nancy returned with some of the patches, a smile on her face. "I am sure he won't even notice. He has a ton. Just ask him, he would share I am sure."
Chrissy nodded with a smile. "Thanks, I am sure he would be. He is kind like that."
The girls grinned, helping her put the patches on, if you didn't put them on yourself you wouldn't know they were there. They were nearly the same tone as her skin. She would be able to hide it for a little while longer at the very least.
"Are you sure my mom wont see these?"
"I doubt she will learn until you tell her," Robin smirked.
Chrissy sighed in thanks, she needed this. She needed to just hide it for a little while longer, everyone always made being an omega sound like a cake walk but Chrissy didn't want that life. Robin could tell it was the last thing she wanted.
Nancy got up to head downstairs to see if her mother had any snacks. Robin closed the door and looked down at Chrissy. "I have something to offer you.“
"What?"
"Well, I am sure you've heard of omegas being brought to an alpha, or alphas being dropped to an omega… Well, there is always that in between phase… Would you want me to uhmm… Help you stud? We would stop before you became an alpha, putting you just at the point of a beta. Then you won't have to hide being an omega."
Chrissy raised a brow.
"How…"
"This is fully up to you, we can talk more about it alone.. I think you should look into it though, she if it would help you… I don't want you to do anything you wouldn't want to do."
Chrissy smiled. "Thank you for the offer…"
"Of course, I just want to help. If you really don't want this I think its the only thing we can do to make it go away…"
Chrissy thought about it. "I'll go home and do some research… That alright?"
"Take all the time you want," Robin smiled, she could hear Nancy coming back. Robin opened the door and sat down quickly, smiling at Chrissy with genuine love and kindness. Chrissy had heard about this from Steve knowing it had been something that his parents had offered him. That had felt wrong and scary, this offer from Robin however felt right and made only with love and support.
She wanted to do more research first, and decide if she really wanted to be a beta or was just upset about how the world would react to her being an omega. She slowly splayed her fingers out so she was making contact with Robin. Robin looked to her, a smile lighting up her face.
Chrissy smiled back at her, thankful for the offer of support.
She would let her know soon enough, but either way she wanted to do the act that studding would require. She had wanted Robin for a long time, and being an omega with her as a beta was starting to make her realize it was just one more thing she wanted out of the way.
She would talk to Steve about it maybe?
She wrapped her pinky in Robin's a smile wide on her face. Robin felt herself blush too, and she just hoped that meant something good was coming, even if it wasn't soon.
