Chapter Text
"Our world is a fascinating one, don't you know?" the chipper voice of the sex ed teacher rang across the room, loud and proud. She was petite for the most part aside from her gigantic boobs that Ichimatsu couldn't help staring at. "Hello, my name is Kagome Kikuo and I'd like to welcome you all to this lecture, you are hitting a wonderful and fascinating time in your life-- all of you!" she clapped her hands together cheerfully, "and that is the time that you will represent perhaps you will be an alpha, maybe the versatile beta or perhaps you'll be a rare but very endurant Omega," she smiled and looked across the classroom. Ichimatsu could feel himself dozing off and drool was starting to gather at the corner of his open mouth and just left himself drift off into a daydream. "Matsuno-kun!"
Ichimatsu shot up almost instantly, in surprise. "Y-yes!" he stammered, had she noticed him staring and even fantasizing about her boobs and that figure??
"Would you mind getting the lights for me?" her vibrant green eyes seemed to sparkle and Ichimatsu felt himself compelled to do as she said. wordlessly he got up from his seat and turned out the light, then just as quickly returned to his seat, trying to ignore the stares of the girls that surrounded him. It was embarrassing that he should even be here in the first place and he just wanted to hide. He didn't belong in this all girl class, but he was stuck here for the next hour or so. He wanted to slip under his desk but instead just rested his head on the cool wooden surface.
"Now right now we are going to cover the physical characteristics of these three categories of people, starting with the Alpha. When presenting, over time your teeth will become harder and you may grow sharper canines, your fingernails may become more claw like and your genitalia may change, but we'll talk about that later. Generally most people can tell who will present as an alpha through early personality traits, however it has been known for the unexpected to happen. Unfortunately, with those surges of hormones in your body, there will also be a huge rise in aggression and territorial behavior, specifically for you young teens. If your parents have a plan for an Alpha, then you have nothing to be worried about but every time an unexpected alpha appears, siblings and parents have been severely injured. But none, as we know it, have died due to the complications of this stage. Despite the strength and characteristic aggression, alphas are well known for being very protective of their pack and if taught right can put their aggression into ambition, most politicians and people of power are alphas,"
At this point Ichimatsu sort of zoned out again, he felt sort of tired and buzzed at the same time. Like he'd just drank 10 cups of coffee but also wanted to take the longest nap. Probably from wrestling Jyushimatsu if he had to guess.
Miss kikuo pointed that ridiculous pointer at the next figure. "This is what we would call, a beta. Now Betas are really important, they make up 75% of the society and are extremely versatile, they are not effected as much by an Alpha and often have the majority voice, though their systems are muted compared to the Alpha they have keener smell and eyesight while their other systems are muted, but what betas lack in power they make up for in... Matsuno-kun? are you listening?"
Ichi wasn't sure what was happening, he was taking a nap wasn't he? He could barely lift his head. He felt numb and tired, he just wanted to sleep. Ms. Kiku walked close to his desk, her face concerned. She gently put a hand on Ichimatsu's shoulder and was met by the young teen vomiting on his desk. All the girls screamed in unison, while ms.Kiku pointed to one certain girl. " Could you please go get some help? We need to get him to the nurse's office," The girl ran out of the room and Ms.Kiku gently rubbed Ichimatsu's back but all he could do was whimper, he felt like everything was suddenly burning and he just wanted to sleep. "Shh, it's okay, we'll get you cleaned up," and that was the last Ichimatsu heard before blacking out.

Within moments loud rushing footsteps banged on the hard hospital floors, and Karamatsu appeared, dressed up in a sparkly black cape and top hat.
"S-sorry my brothers, I was at -- it was rehearsal, I only just found out!!" he panted, panic etched into his young face. "How is he?"
The brothers all looked at each other and each of them shook their head, "Not good, there hasn't been any word but mom is talking to one of the doctors," Todomatsu replied solemnly and then covered his face as he burst into tears again. Karamatsu stared at his brothers in silence, shocked silence. The years he'd spent with Ichimatsu ran through his head, the time, the projects and even Ichimatsu's pure happy smile perhaps all of them to some extent.
four pairs of concerned eyes looked at the ground, two sets watery and red from crying. All they knew is that Ichimatsu had passed out and had been rushed to the emergency room. There was news that he was currently in a coma and nothing could wake him, but nobody had any other news like what had caused it. Osomatsu, the eldest, got up out of his chair. "Hey, don't look so glum, he just fell asleep during class... man I envy him so much!" he said with a thumbs up.
"Osomatsu....." Choro was both angry and melancholy so no reply really came he just looked away. Jyushimatsu had his lips pursed and was playing with some sort of paper toy, while Todomatsu continued to rub tears from his eyes.
Jyushimatsu smiled at Osomatsu, his big bright vibrant smile though his eyes are definitely still red. "No way, nii-san fell asleep! Waaah, he really is lucky I want to sleep all day too!"
"Mm, maybe we should scold him for going to sleep without us!" Todomatsu giggled a bit. he knew it was a lot more serious than what any of them could even imagine, but it was nice to have this small reprieve.
As much as karamatsu wanted to joke with his brothers, all he could see was that his brother, his best friend even, was possibly dying all that came from Karamatsu was a croak whether it was meant to be a laugh or a sob, nobody was sure. They all just looked at him and the tears began to flow from their flashy brother's eyes and loud sobs echoed through the empty waiting room. Osomatsu touched Karamatsu on the shoulder and then gave him a hug, letting the second eldest brother cry on his shoulder. Pretty soon all the brothers were gathered around each other, hugging and crying.
20 minutes passed before something other than sniffles and sobs were heard.
"Boys!" it was the voice of their mother, her voice was small, weak as though she herself had been crying and losing her voice. Immediately the sextuplets surrounded their mother.
A chorus of, "What's going to happen to Ichimatsu,", "when will he come home, " and "What happened?" filled the halls. Matsuyo hugged them all very tightly one by one.
"Ichimatsu is suffering from a very rare complication that can happen when presenting, you see, his body tried to present as an alpha and an omega at once, which caused his body to recoil and fight itself," Matsuyo explained in as simple a matter as she could possibly. "They say that if we just wait it out, he should be fine... " she smiled at her boys as cheerfully as she could, but she didn't tell them about the fact that there was a higher possibility that ichimatsu could die from the strain of it. "They are putting him on a special drug that should make it easier on him, he's just going to sleep for now,"
The five boys all sighed in relief and looked at each other, Karamatsu smiled brightly. Osomatsu puffed out his chest comically, "What did I tell you? He just fell asleep in Class and now he's got a sick day off, man LUCKY" their mother let a smile cross her face. "They also said that it's likely that one or more of you might also have the same complication because you are all identical, but that if we prepare for that the risks are much lower,"
Todomatsu frowned. "So... does that mean that there won't be any betas out of all of us? We were just learning about that in class today, about what it means to present---"
Matsuyo paused before she responded. "Well, unlike normal families, you are sextuplets and are identical in every way, it's far more likely for all of you to be one than the others, but the doctor said that there still is a chance for a portion of you to be alphas or betas— come on boys, your father will stay with ichimatsu, lets— lets go out to eat,”
With cheers and whoops, the six left the hospital.
Meanwhile, Matsuzo watched helplessly over his child who had several tubes attached to him, pumping him with what he needed to possibly survive this event. But it hurt the man’s heart to see his child like this.
