Chapter Text
Film’s hands shakes a little as she opens her pill box gingerly, already feeling the effects of her heat coming. It was earlier than usual this month, but good thing she was always stocked up on her suppressants.
“Film? Quickly, or she’ll be here soon—” Ciize murmurs, her eyes darting around as if on the lookout for someone.
“Y-yeah, j-just give me a minute,” Film murmurs, finally managing to open the box. She quickly takes one pill and pops it into her mouth, eager for some relief. Already she could feel her heartbeat calm down, but she knew the pill’s full effect will only be felt after a few minutes.
“It’s good now,” Film declares, managing a small smile at her friend. Ciize turns to her, relief all over her face.
“Oh good,” Ciize breathes out, slumping on her seat. “I honestly wouldn’t know how we’d run away if Milk manages to smell you—”
Her words were suddenly cut by delighted screaming from outside their classroom, and Film and Ciize turn to each other, surprised.
Ah shit, Film mutters to herself, burying her face in her hands. She knew who was coming. Dammit, she smelled me.
And sure enough, the door burst open to reveal—
“Too late, I already smelled you,” Milk grins, smirking at Film. Film rolls her eyes at her ex.
“I’m not doing this again, Milk,” Film says dismissively, standing up from her seat to leave, but Milk quickly walks up to her and grabs her arm.
“Let me go,” Film hisses, quickly pulling back her arm. It seemed the suppressants weren’t working fast enough, because Film could feel the place where Milk had touched heat up.
Stupid alpha, Film thinks to herself. Milk notices Film’s reaction and smirks triumphantly.
“I knew it,” Milk smiles, taking a step closer to Film. “You’re in heat, and you need me.”
Film takes a step back, looking around her. Milk’s other alpha friends had blocked the classroom doors, and they had managed to kick out all their other classmates so that it was only Film and Milk in the room. She grits her teeth.
Frankly, Film has no idea why she had agreed to date Milk in the first place. Milk was one of the top alphas in the school—insanely good-looking, popular with both men and women, and she was already a top fashion model despite still being in high school.
Film, meanwhile, enjoyed popularity in school as well: she was the student council president, top student, active in extra curriculars, and she was what the other omegas called their “champion”, because whenever the alphas bullied them or harassed them, it was Film who stood up to them and put them back in their place. It could be said that some of the alphas were even afraid of Film, with how fierce she was in protecting her fellow omegas.
As to how she ended up dating Milk… it was merely a dare, an agreement she had entered just to get them to stop bullying Ciize. Ciize was having a particularly hard time dealing with her heats, and some alphas had gone to great lengths to harassing her about it. Film had approached Milk, knowing that she could control her fellow alphas, and Milk agreed, in exchange for Film dating her.
Stupidly, foolishly, Film had agreed.
They were the talk of the entire school for days. Milk, the top alpha, and Film, the top omega, dating. Milk soaked up all the attention, knowing that Film added further to her status. Film couldn’t care less.
Their “relationship” lasted all but two months before Film called it quits. And now, Milk was desperate to have her back.
“Stay away, Milk,” Film warned, taking a step back despite herself. Milk, towering over her, confidently took a step towards her.
“Or what?” Milk grins, looking around them. “No one is here to help you. Your little omega friend Ciize won’t be able to help you. Nor can your other little omega friends,” she smirks.
Film knew Milk was right, and she hated it. The suppressant hasn’t kicked in fully yet, and she could still feel her heat emanating from her body and pulling Milk in like a magnet. Film was now fully backed up against the wall, Milk’s body almost covering her, and if she stayed longer this way, then she might actually give in—
Suddenly there was shouting, pained cries for help, and a loud bang.
“Stay away from her.” The voice was strong, cold as steel, and somehow familiar…
Film sees Milk cock an eyebrow, as if mildly irritated by the interruption. She takes a step back and Film sees who had just burst into the classroom.
“Namtan.” Milk grunts, sounding annoyed. Namtan walks in casually, as if Milk’s alpha friends knocked unconscious behind her were just a normal occurrence.
Namtan shakes her head at Milk. “Haven’t the teachers taught us alphas some ethics, Milk?” She says. “No means no.”
Milk takes a step forward, her head held high. “She’s my girlfriend.”
At this Namtan laughs. “Last I heard, she already broke up with you.”
“What’s it to you?” Milk hisses, now head-to-head with Namtan. The two alphas were almost the same height, and neither seemed to want to back down. “She’s my omega. I think they also teach that in ethics, eh?” Milk cocks her head arrogantly. “Once an omega is claimed by an alpha, no other alpha can claim them.”
This time, Namtan turns to Film, whose back was still against the wall. Her breathing had already calmed down now, and she could feel that her body temperature had returned to normal.
“Film?” Namtan asks, her expression unfathomable as she looked at Film. Film found herself instantly drawn in by her eyes. “Are you and this…” She looked at Milk from head to toe with barely concealed distaste, “alpha still together?”
Film shakes her head. Namtan grins.
“Well then, since she is unclaimed,” Namtan now walks towards Film, completely ignoring Milk, “Perhaps I can claim you now?”
