He is in fact not cool with his friends killing people he just can’t do shit about it and the fact that he thinks he can do smth about (and does!) when it comes to his kids is like a major point

#like one of the main #Idk if theme is the right word #but issues surrounding Batman in general and Gotham specifically #is the high standards he holds not just those closest to him to but also the people he controls #NOW DONT GET CAUGHT UP IN UR GUT REACTION CONTROL IS A STRONG WORD BUT IM USING IT FOR A REASON #like i think the fandomification of the batfamily and seeing every character as reliable in the way they tell their own stories #is making people forget that yes bruce lowkey controls them #like not in a mean way or whatever but as much as dick and Jason rebel and say ‘fuck you old man I have my own people to take care of’ #at a snap of Bruce’s fingers where are they? #right back in Gotham #which ppl say is an issue with writing and I agree like they really just can’t take anyone away from Gotham #but THATS meta like the in universe conclusion is what creates in universe analysis #and these issues are being spoken about from an in universe pov #that was just me justifying my point anywayyyd #what im saying is that like #in conclusion Ppl are forgetting that Bruce is scary and still runs this shit lmao #like a few snappy quips about emotional distance and some ‘X deserves better’ fics is making yall forget shit like spyral #or at least how it went down and ended up today and what that says about the characters involved #it’s tragic and Ik we like to ignore that but like. when look at shit like the no killing rule #yes bruce thinks he’s being slighted or failing whenever his kids kill someone and they to an extent think that too which is why they don’t #do it #or at least partly #even for Jason that’s why the killing is not just what needs to be done it’s a form of rebellion for him #everyone who agrees jason should just leave Gotham but still present as pure rebellion and anger and spitting at Bruce don’t get why Jason #should leave is all I’m saying #that’s why Dick never got away #it’s still all about Bruce #even if we don’t want it to be #reading this back it’s disjointed as hell but I’m not fixing it if u get it ily heh just a peek into my dark mind #if u don’t it’s not ur fault not everyone can withstand the alphas prowess…

{Volleyballs = Omegas}

[Alpha Ushijima x Omega reader]

my apologies for this being so damn disjointed but HFOSHF

This thought jumped me before bed and I had to write it so- here we are. Also no beta readers we die like men, bitches. {i lub u}

  - as an alpha, Ushijima is quite aware that he's strong. After all, he's the leader of his team. He has to be strong. 

  - He's used to putting his all into the things he's passionate about. For example, volleyball. 

  - There's one problem though. 

  - You are not a volleyball. 

  - There's nothing that makes an alphas pride and confidence deflate more than realizing that they cannot properly interact with omegas. Or their own omega for a matter of fact. 

  - Oddly enough, Ushiwaka falls into that category. Most would think that he'd be the perfect alpha, and for the majority of what being an alpha entails,  he is. 

  - However, omegas are not volleyballs. They don't follow the rules of what makes a volleyball a volleyball. Omegas do not all need a certain air pressure in order to be used. Omegas do not get passed from Player to Player in a memorized fashion. There is no way to execute the same gameplan over and over and win every time. 

  - This is Wakatoshi's problem. 

  - He is a very factual person. If an omega isn't acting like an omega should be, then they simply require more air to set them to the right pressure. Or, in non-sports terms, they need to be set straight. 

  - However, you don't really need that. 

  - What you want is to be coddled and cared for. You want to be praised when your alpha is pleased with you and to be swept off your feet with romantics words and whispers of love. That's a typical omegas desire. Which was perfectly normal. 

  - So for the first time, Ushijima Wakatoshi found himself inferior in comparison to other alphas who had mastered the art of figuring out exactly what their omegas needed. 

  - He had no clue as to what made you tick. Not for lack of trying mind you, he simply found it difficult to read you if your scent didn't portray it perfectly. Often, you would have a content and happy scent, which told him that everything was okay. 

  - If you want him to cuddle and hold you, you need to tell him. 

  - The only problem with that is that he sees no reason to do such a thing. You were happy and cared for. All of your needs were provided, you weren't injured, so there was no real need to hold you. 

  - Things only changed when you stopped communicating. Instead, you clammed up and stopped asking your own alpha for validation. It hurt, but you knew that asking him again wasn't going to make him do it. 

  - Now Ushijima isn't one who easily picks up on these things, and weeks pass like this before Tendou points out your slightly sad scent, a mixture of honey lemons and ginger. Not a bad smell but for an omega it wasn't very appetizing. 

  - Of course, Ushijima simply states that you have been smelling like that for a little while, only raising a brow when Tendou reacts in shock. 

  - Tendou is far better at reading people, so the fact that Ushijima doesn't usually recognize distressed scents doesn't surprise him. But the dumbass's own omega?? 

  - He figured he'd have a little better observation skills than that. Or a nose even. 

  - Ushijima, when asked, what could be bothering you is completely clueless. 

  - However, he is quick to state that if anything were truly wrong, surely you would come and tell him. 

  - Which was true. The only problem was that you had no idea how to put it into terms he'd understand. 

  - How does one who has been rejected by their alpha ask again? 

  - By the third day of smelling your clearly bothered scent, the team is begging Ushijima to fix whatever it is so that none of the other alphas are agitated during practice. 

  - You had to give credit to Tendou. He was very good at reading the situation. 

  - When Ushi came up to you, explaining the situation, and asking you what the issue was- if some other alpha was bothering you, or if you were sick- you couldn't help the frustrated tears of an uncared for omega bubbling to the surface. 

  - Ushijima wasn't expecting such a reaction. In fact, he was expecting an all-clear report of a happy omega. Not... This. 

  - Your bothered scent only soured more, ginger, and lemon covering the honey of convincing yourself you were perfectly okay without any romantic or scentings from your alpha. 

  - This time, thank god, Ushijima's alpha reacted to the smell of distress and pain. 

  - Unfortunately, he still didn't understand how to fix it. 

  - Although he questioned you again, a bit more softly, and with a hint of worry this time, you simply shook your head. 

  - This was the point in which tendou interrupted your breakdown, as gently as possibly asking. Except he brought up the great distraction it was to have an uncomfortable omega among them. 

  - His words made you realize how it was affecting others, and although you didn't want to talk about something so personal to another alpha, you wondered if he could help Ushijima to understand. 

  - You simply calmed and excused yourself, deciding that texting Tendou about the issue would be easier than face to face. 

  - His response was utter amusement at your clueless alpha. 

"He said he wasn't going to scent you!?" Tendou asked, shocked. 

"Well, yeah. He said, and I quote, 'I don't need to scent you when I already have you marked as mine.'" 

"Holy shit. That does sound like something he'd say though. What about all that other mushy junk?" He wondered. 

"He said I wasn't injured so I didn't need it."

"Damn I didn't know he was that clueless what the hell?" He laughed before continuing. "Looks like the guess monster- master of all omegas -will have to fix this."

"Okay then, Master of all Omegas, how exactly can you fix this alpha? Keep in mind he's no omega."

"... My diagnosis is simply this. You're gonna have to explain to him what you want, in a way he will understand!"

"How should I- what?" You wondered, completely lost. 

"Well, he likes volleyball. So I guess something like this- omegas are like volleyball. They need certain things in order to keep them up to snuff, right? Air pressure, making sure it's not damaged in any way, etc…! "

"That's the problem though. I'm not a volleyball. I just want him to take care of me. I don’t need anything drastic done, just… Just-..." You trailed off. 

"Maintenance?" He finished. 

This was how you were going to get him to finally understand! 

Of course, it wouldn't be that easy. Even after trying to explain through more sports terms, he didn't seem to get it. Even Tendou stepped in, recapping what you said and frustrated when Ushijima still looked completely lost. Finally, thank god, Tendou sighed and said something that caused your mate to tense. 

"Omegas aren't exactly like volleyball, sure, but you wouldn’t wait until a volleyball is practically unusable to fix it. If you don't feel up to maintaining your own omega, then other alphas are gonna step in to take your place, Ushiwaka." Tendou scoffed softly when Ushijima's pheromones turned protective. 

"I'm not saying I'm gonna take your omega, but even the others are getting antsy because she's upset. It's your job to keep her happy and content. If she's not, you fix it. Even if you think it's unnecessary." 

Damn. You had no idea Tendou could be so wise. Well not wise, but he clearly had experience in these things, it really made you wonder about him sometimes. 

"What's all this about?" Ushijima glanced from you to Tendou, then back again. 

Tendou groaned and threw his upper half backward dramatically. "That's it! I give up! He's hopeless" 

You stood up and patted Ushijima’s arm, smiling and trying to force yourself to sound happy. "It's alright. " Before you could escape, however, his hand latched onto your wrist, jerking you back into his chest. You tripped on your feet, and his arms wrapped around your smaller and much softer form. 

Your omega purred at the contact, and, scared that he might let you go, you snuggled into his chest, attempting to get him to scent you by furiously rubbing your face and head into his chest. His instincts seemed to finally align, and he began to slowly rub his wrists along your jaw, covering your sweet scent with his.

"Oh- guys! Where’s my thank you!?" Tendou whined reaching out to poke you only to get a scalding glare and low growl from Ushiwaka.

Who would've thought omegas could be so complicated?
