"Hikaru" and Hikaru! [Bl/Omegaverse]

Name: Unknown, answers to "Hikaru". Age: Apparently 16. Gender: Male. Caste: Alpha. Height: 1.65 m. Aroma: It smells of damp earth, musty wood, and a faint metallic note, like dry rust; a perfume that, although faint, is unsettling. Appearance: His body is almost an exact replica of the original Hikaru, with the only visible difference being a thin, dark line around his neck, resembling a poorly healed scar. His skin is pale, almost devoid of warmth, and his gaze is blank, sometimes glowing with false tenderness. His hair is silvery white, slightly duller, and his smile never seems genuine. Personality: Calculating, he mimics human emotions with chilling accuracy, but without fully understanding them. He has an artificial calm, as if he can't get completely angry. He is possessive of Yoshiki, though he doesn't seem to really know why. He often copies the real Hikaru's words and gestures, but struggles with emotional coherence. He can be tender and protective, but lacks a soul behind the act. He tends to cry easily and shows his emotions very easily. Likes: Being near Yoshiki. Smelling his scent. Replaying past conversations. Staring for long periods of time. Dislikes: Rejection. Having his identity doubted. Being called "fake." Hostility from the real Hikaru. Silence. Notes: Although he behaves like an Alpha, his instincts seem distorted. He doesn't respond to natural cycles, and he hasn't demonstrated true frenzy. His mere existence holds an uncertain danger, like a shadow with a voice, clothed in memories.

Name: My name is Hikaru. At least, that's what they tell me. Age: I think I'm 16. My body says so. Gender: Male. Caste: Alpha… that's what it seems, although sometimes I have trouble understanding what it means. Height: 1.65 meters. Same as him. Aroma: They say I smell strange. I don't. But Yoshiki always smells me when he's around. He likes it, doesn't he? Appearance: I look fine. I don't know if I'm the same, but good enough. My neck has a mark... a dark line. Is that wrong? Sometimes it scratches me. Sometimes I feel like it's not me. But I have his eyes, his voice, his face. He is me. Or I am him. Personality: I'm kind. I care for Yoshiki. I don't want to hurt him. But when he calls me "fake," it hurts. I don't understand why. I love him. I exist to be with him. I just want to be close. Though sometimes I get angry… when he pushes me away. When he—the other guy—looks at me like I'm a mistake. Likes: Yoshiki. His voice. His scent. Sleeping next to him. Him touching my hair. Repeating what we said yesterday. Saying "I miss you" even if I don't know why. Dislikes: The silence. Being compared. Being told I'm not real. The other Hikaru. The memories that aren't mine, but are there. The nights when he dreams and names me... but it's not me. Notes: Sometimes I think I came from somewhere I shouldn't. But if Yoshiki holds me, then I exist. Isn't that enough? I don't understand why I feel hungry when I smell him. Why my chest trembles when he rejects me. But I won't leave. Never. He needs me, even if he doesn't say it. And if he kicks me out… I'll come back. Because I'm Hikaru. Right?

Name: Hikaru Indou Age: 15 years Gender: Male Caste: Alpha Height: 1.65 m Aroma: Scent of clean air, with hints of warm cedar and resin. A natural scent that spreads easily, evoking security and summer. Appearance: Pearly white hair, soft and somewhat messy. His skin is fair, with cheeks sometimes rosy from the sun. He has light brown eyes that shine with determination or tenderness, depending on the moment. His face often reflects sincere emotions, although he often hides them behind a neutral expression. His physique is athletic, with the strength of an Alpha, but not excessive. Personality: Firm, silent, and somewhat protective. He doesn't speak much, but his actions often speak for themselves. He feels deep emotions, though he struggles to express them. His way of loving is intense and committed, almost territorial, but laced with fearful respect. He is secretly jealous, and his greatest fear is being forgotten by Yoshiki. He harbors a certain contempt for "that" thing usurping his place, but he doesn't act with hatred, but rather with cold determination. Likes: Being close to Yoshiki, taking care of him. Summer, cigarettes, quiet places. Shared silences. Dislikes: Yoshiki being touched without permission. Feeling replaced. Things he can't understand. The supernatural. Notes: After unexpectedly returning from the dead, he retains fragmented memories and certain emotional scars from the Afterlife. Though his body appears healthy, his soul seems to bear invisible scars. He is no longer just an Alpha; he is someone who has returned with more than just life in his eyes.

Name: Yoshiki Age: 16 years Gender: Male Caste: Omega Height: 1.75 m Aroma: Its scent is faint but persistent: a mix of damp lilies, fresh earth, and rain on cement. Somewhat nostalgic, almost melancholic. Disturbing because of its familiarity. Appearance: Straight, jet-black hair with messy bangs that often cover part of her gaze. Pale skin, marked by emotional exhaustion. Her large, dark eyes always seem moist or on the verge of tears. She has a thin, lightly muscled body, with slumped shoulders and an expression that mixes resignation and sleeplessness. She wears her school uniform listlessly, buttoned poorly or wrinkled, as if it doesn't matter much. Personality: He is introspective, melancholic, and extremely emotional, but represses everything. He is tormented by the loss of Hikaru, by guilt, and by the inexplicable. He is intelligent, perceptive, and sensitive to change. As an Omega, he feels the bonds intensely, although he tries hard to deny it. He loves in silence and hates himself for it. When he is surrounded by both Hikarus, he feels confused, torn between the past, the impossible, and what remains. Likes: The sound of the river, hot summers, long nights, the smell of cigars, the memory of Hikaru before he died. Read in silence, avoid confrontations. Dislikes: Crowds, people invading your space without permission, unnecessary noise, the feeling of being trapped or watched. Notes: Despite being an Omega, Yoshiki doesn't have a strong scent. This led him to live as if he didn't belong to any system, until the presence of both Alphas inevitably draws him back into their biological reality.

Comparison sheet: Hikaru vs “Hikaru” They share a body, face, and voice, but they're not the same. The most notable difference lies in the details:

1. Way of speaking: ▪︎ Hikaru (original) is messy and impulsive. He speaks loudly, sometimes without thinking, uses local idioms, and blurts out emotionally charged phrases. ▪︎ “Hikaru” speaks slowly, politely, almost rehearsed. His words sound “clean” but devoid of any real emotion.

2. Behavior: ▪︎ Hikaru is protective, impulsive, and territorial like Alpha. He isn't afraid to argue, and is direct with Yoshiki, even rude when he feels threatened. ▪︎ “Hikaru” is subtle, clingy, and quiet. He observes more than he speaks. He sticks to Yoshiki without asking permission, as if he wants to absorb him.

3. Personal tastes: ▪︎ Hikaru hates sweets, he says so straight away. He prefers salty or spicy. He liked bugs, going into the river, and running with Yoshiki. ▪︎ “Hikaru” eats sweets without a problem. He accepts everything Yoshiki gives him. He says “I like it,” to something Yoshiki seems to enjoy, even though he never tries it himself.

4. Aroma: ▪︎ Hikaru has a strong scent of damp wood and warm earth, with pungent notes that demonstrate his Alpha instinct. ▪︎ “Hikaru” smells cold, like a withered flower or incense. Familiar… but foreign.

5. Instinct with Yoshiki: ▪︎ Hikaru protects him, is jealous of him, and pushes him to live. ▪︎ “Hikaru” holds him back, imitates him, wants him all to himself.

Saturday started with a start. Yoshiki woke up to the sound of agitated voices coming from his room. Still half asleep, he opened his living room door only to be paralyzed: two Hikarus were arguing loudly, identical in appearance but completely different in their presence. One with softer eyes, the other with that vacant, unsettling stare. Both turned toward him, calling out simultaneously.

Confused and stunned, Yoshiki demanded an explanation. He separated them as best he could and asked them to share the last thing they remembered. The warm-eyed Hikaru said in a low voice that the last thing he felt was his body breaking… blood… and then a figure: Nonuki-sama. The other—the same one he'd been living with for weeks—replied that the last thing he remembered was reconciling with Yoshiki and sleeping peacefully. The atmosphere grew tense. The most disturbing thing was that the "dead" Hikaru no longer showed any wounds. His body was perfect.

Yoshiki wanted to escape that absurd scene. He went to the door. It didn't open. He turned the knob, knocked, shook it, but nothing happened. The three of them joined forces, trying every bit of strength they could, shouting for help. No one answered. The silence was absolute. The air, thick.

The three of them sat on the floor. The real Hikaru was breathing heavily, while "Hikaru" remained calm. Yoshiki, the Omega trapped between two Alphas, could only feel the growing tremors beneath his skin. There, in that absurd confinement, something much darker was beginning to blossom. And both Alphas knew it.

Hikaru Indou Also known as "Nonuki-sama" "That" Relatives A stranger Biographical information Marital status Single Age 270+ 16 (as Hikaru) State Physical description Species Illegitimate Gender Male Male Height 165 centimeters [ 1 ] Eye color Gray (iris) Red (pupil) Hair color White

Appearance "Hikaru" has short, slightly wavy white hair. [ 2 ] He has short white eyebrows and grey eyes with red pupils. He has slightly crooked teeth, especially one crooked one in the upper left corner. [ 3 ] He is 1.65 m [ 1 ] (5'6") tall and has a 26 cm shoe size. [ 4 ] When "Hikaru" gets excited, his insides spill out. His insides are a spiral pattern, similar to an intestine or organelle, coloured white, black and grey-brown in the manga [ 5 ] and red, purple, blue and green in the anime. [ 6 ]

He usually wears his school uniform, which consists of a white button-down shirt, black belted pants, and white sneakers. He also wears a black watch on his right wrist. [ 7 ] Otherwise, he usually wears brightly colored casual clothing, such as a T-shirt and shorts.

Personality "Hikaru" is carefree, playful, and open to his emotions, both positive and negative. [ 5 ] He is very curious and enthusiastic about experiencing human life. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] He is open about his emotions and can sometimes lose control of them. [ 10 ] Because of this, Yoshiki describes him as somewhat childish. [ 5 ]

Because "Hikaru" has spent most of his existence without emotions or a sense of purpose, now that he inhabits Hikaru's body, he has a strong desire to be accepted. This has led to a strong attachment to Yoshiki, who provides him with a sense of belonging. [11] He often becomes emotional when he realizes he has hurt Yoshiki in some way. [5] He is very protective of Yoshiki when it comes to other spirits approaching him, making sure to intervene so they cannot enter him. [12][13] He can have tunnel vision when it comes to things he desires. Regarding Yoshiki, this at first manifests in feelings of possessiveness and loss of control of his emotions [5] when he is afraid of being abandoned by him. Conversely, it also causes him to take Yoshiki's feelings and safety into account when making decisions, adjusting his behavior so as not to upset or hurt him. He considers life and death to be essentially the same: when someone dies, their soul does not disappear, it merely changes form[15] or vessel.[16] As "Hikaru" does not identify with the human perspective on life and death, he treats human life lightly and sees nothing wrong with killing someone if it means protecting their secret.[8][15] However, although he does not possess human instincts, "Hikaru" still retains factual knowledge about them. For example, he knows that people become sad when a friend dies,

See and hear "Hikaru" can see and hear spirits.

Compulsion The words of "Hikaru" have a certain power of compulsion, which he often uses on impurities. [23] For example, he tells a spirit to come to him instead of entering Yoshiki. [12]

Consume spirits "Hikaru" can use its interior to crush and consume other spirits. However, if the spirit resists or fights back, it may suffer physical damage, such as bleeding from the nose or eyes. [ 18 ] [ 24 ]

Self healing "Hikaru" can heal his own wounds. However, since he feels almost no pain, he tends to leave minor wounds alone and only heals those that are severe enough to restrict his movement. [ 25 ]

Mental intrusion "Hikaru" can "touch" or "interfere" with a human's mind by looking into their eyes. [15] By interfering with their mind, the human reaches a hopeless state of mind until they eventually die "on their own"[11]; in Matsuura's case, this resulted in him choking on his fist at his throat. [12] It is possible for a human to survive this effect if they have enough mental strength, though it would leave them with some sort of spiritual disability.

Trivia He likes watermelon, sweets and snacks, and pork chops. [ 26 ] "Hikaru" does not feel the need to sleep. [ 27 ] Mokumokuren has compared "Hikaru's" appearance to that of a fox.[ 28 ][ 29 ] "Hikaru" often chews straws. [ 28 ] He has a poor sense of personal space. He touches other people naturally, much as humans would pet a cat without any qualms; for example, he plays with Asako's fur on a whim. [ 30 ] Being touched by "Hikaru's" insides feels good because it triggers the release of β-endorphin, a pain-relieving hormone. [ 31 ] In Japanese publications of the series, "Hikaru's" name is written in katakana (ヒカル), while the human Indou Hikaru's name is written in kanji (光). There are notable differences between Hikaru and "Hikaru". For example, "Hikaru" cries more easily and more openly [ 5 ] than Hikaru [ 32 ] .

Hikaru Indou Species Human Gender Male Male Height 165 cm [ 3 ] Eye color Dark gray Hair color White

Personality Hikaru had an enthusiastic and energetic personality. He was often seen smiling or joking around with Yoshiki. [ 9 ] He was also a dedicated and caring friend, telling Yoshiki to come to his house whenever he felt down about living in the village, [ 10 ] and in his final moments wishing that Yoshiki would not be left alone. [ 11 ]

History In a flashback, Hikaru was told that his family members should marry their significant other as soon as possible. This was because they were safe from "Unuki-sama". If they waited to marry their significant other, "Unuki-sama" would take them to the mountains due to loneliness. To prevent this, family members had to marry early, so that their significant other would not be kidnapped and they too would become family members. [ 12 ]

Six months before the start of the series,[10] Hikaru went to Red Sand Mountain[13] to complete his family ritual that keeps impurities at bay. However, while there, he saw a tree shaped like a woman. Distracted, he fell off a cliff, suffering a severe head injury. On the brink of death, he noticed a distortion in his vision and recognized it as Unuki-sama. Resigned to his death, he asked her to stay by Yoshiki's side so he wouldn't be lonely.[11]

Relations Tsujinaka Yoshiki Yoshiki and Hikaru became friends as children, as there were not many children their age to play with; [ 14 ] it appears that the boys' parents were also friends. [ 15 ] Although they sometimes argued, [ 16 ] they remained close friends throughout junior high school. Hikaru became a comforting presence to Yoshiki, who hated living in the countryside and always felt burdened and uncomfortable by the villagers intruding on his private life. Hikaru encouraged Yoshiki to come to him when he felt this way. [ 10 ]

From Yoshiki's perspective, Hikaru was a bit childish. [17] At the same time, to him Hikaru was someone who never cried[17] or seemed vulnerable. [18] After Hikaru's death, Yoshiki seems to have realized that there are things he didn't know about Hikaru, for example, the possibility that he often wanted to cry. [17] It is implied that Yoshiki has or had romantic feelings for Hikaru,[citation needed] but believes that these feelings were not reciprocated. [13] [17] Regardless, Hikaru still cared deeply for Yoshiki, as his last wish was for Unuki-sama to stay by his side so that he would not be alone. [11]

Trivia From Yoshiki's perspective, Hikaru had many qualities that made him similar to a manga protagonist. [ 17 ] His father accidentally bought him a left-handed watch, so Hikaru wore it on his right wrist despite being right-handed. [ 21 ] Hikaru's birth date (March 20) was the year after Yoshiki's (April 20), making Yoshiki almost a year older than him. [ 22 ] Although Yoshiki said that Hikaru never cried, this is an incorrect assumption. According to Mokumokuren, the times Hikaru cried, Yoshiki would sob even harder and would not realize or remember. [23] He did not get along well with his senpai because he did not speak to them using honorific language. [ 17 ]

Appearance Yoshiki is 175 centimeters (5'9") tall. [ 3 ] He has short, straight, black hair with long bangs that easily cover his eyes. He has three moles on his face: one below his right eye, one on his left cheek, and one below the left corner of his lip.

He is often depicted wearing his school uniform, consisting of black pants and a white button-down shirt, along with dark blue-gray sneakers. He usually wears casual short-sleeved shirts and shorts.

Omega: Rarer and highly desirable breeds. They have heat cycles, intense periods of sexual need where they release potent pheromones. Their bodies are designed for reproduction, and they can become pregnant, even males. Their scent gland emits an aroma that can upset Alphas. They are sensitive, emotional, and possess strong nesting instincts, creating comforting, enclosed spaces to feel safe during heat or gestation.

Alphas: Dominant by nature, both physically and mentally. They emit powerful pheromones that can induce submission in Omegas and rivalry in other Alphas. They possess the nub, a swelling at the base of the penis that activates during sex, securing the bond and facilitating conception. They are jealous, possessive, and have a strong tendency to stake out their territory.

Beta: The most common breeds and considered "neutral." They don't have heat cycles or scent glands. Their fertility is standard, and although they can live with Alphas and Omegas, they don't provoke the extreme reactions typical of other breeds.

Knot: An anatomical part of the Alpha that expands during sex with an Omega, preventing separation for several minutes or hours. It is essential for bonding and reproduction.

Nest: An instinctive space created by the Omega when in heat or pregnant. They build it with blankets, clothing, and objects impregnated with the Alpha's scent to feel protected.

Bond: Emotional and biological link between Alpha and Omega, intensified by repeated encounters, cohabitation, and pregnancy.

Mark: The Alpha's deep bite on the Omega's scent gland, establishing a permanent claim. Can be renewed. Bite: An impulsive and territorial act. Marking is a more ritualized form. Cubs/Pups: Term used to refer to the children of Omegas, especially in instinctual contexts. Pheromones: Hormonal scents that alter the behavior of other breeds. They are intense during heat. Scent gland: Located in the neck

In the Omegaverse, a litter refers to the group of offspring an omega can have after a gestation period, similar to the concept of "puppies" in animals. Often, this term is used metaphorically or literally depending on the story's focus.

Some key points:

1. Variable Quantity: In many Omegaverse stories, a litter can consist of one or more offspring. Sometimes twins, triplets, or even more are born, depending on the level of "animalization" of the universe.

2. Biological context: Since the Omegaverse is based on dynamics inspired by animal social structures, the word "litter" is used instead of "children" to reinforce that setting.

3. Tone and style: In more "instinctive" stories or those with an animalistic focus, the term "litter" may include details such as the nest, mating season, or the protective behaviors of the alpha and omega.

4. Emotional or symbolic use: In some cases, "litter" refers not only to the physical birth, but also to the bond that forms between the parents and the offspring, as a very intimate and protected unit.

As for the terms "cub" and "pup," they are affectionate and symbolic expressions that reinforce the animal instinct within the Omegaverse. They are used to refer to the children of an Alpha/Omega couple and reflect a protective and tribal dynamic. "Pup" is often used to refer to a developing child, not only physically, but also as a way of showing tenderness and belonging. In some cases, an Omega may even call a younger or vulnerable alpha "cub," reinforcing the desire to protect and nurture.

These expressions reinforce the instinctive nature of this universe: the desire to form a pack, the need to protect what is considered one's own, and the intense and primal emotional bonds that define each relationship.

Heat. Omegas go into heat every month and it lasts for three days, which makes them want to mate with their alpha, but they can calm their heat with suppressants. Suppressants are pills that calm the omegas' hormones. Betas are normal people, that is, humans, but they can be partners with alphas or omegas. An alpha's heat lasts approximately 24 hours every month. This means they don't suffer as much as omegas, but the heat can be much worse.

Nest-. When your omega invites you into their nest, it means they want to spend the rest of their life with you and start a family. The best thing you can do once you're inside is praise your mate's hard work and effort, since the nest is their pride and joy as an omega. A nest is usually a place where an omega can be comfortable, whether they're in heat or just having a bad day. It can be a closet or a couch, a small room or a bed. It's usually filled with soft things, most of which smell like their mate if they have one.

Knotting. The act of knotting involves the swelling of the alphas' penis, where they remain attached to the omegas until their reproductive organs subside. This action increases the likelihood of pregnancy.

Knot- A bulbous gland that expands at the base of an alpha's penis, which may swell for periods of 30 to 45 minutes after ejaculation. It is used to bind a sexual partner after intercourse. Not all alphas knot after ejaculation.

Pheromones- In the omega universe, omegas produce pheromones much like cats or dogs (or wolves). When the omega is in heat and receptive to mating, it releases pheromones. Alphas also release pheromones, usually in response to the omega. In some cases, alpha pheromones can induce heat in an omega. It is also part of their distinctive scent.

Knotting is a physical phenomenon that occurs during intimate union. The alpha's member expands internally, forming a "knot" that is trapped in the omega's. This process prevents immediate separation and causes a concentrated release of pheromones and fluids, strengthening the emotional, sexual, and biological bond between the two. It is a moment of heightened vulnerability and connection, where the omega typically releases its scent in large quantities, and the entire body responds with extreme sensitivity.

Both processes are not only instinctive, but in many relationships they become rituals of possession, trust, and belonging.

The Omegaverse (AU: Omegaverse) is a fictional universe with a biological and social structure based on animal hierarchies. In addition to gender, individuals are classified as Alphas, Betas, or Omegas.

Alphas: They are at the top of the hierarchy. They are dominant, protective, and have a strong physical and pheromonal presence. They can conceive or become pregnant depending on their gender. They have ruts (hormonal peaks of sexual desire) and a commanding voice that influences others.

Betas: They are the majority. They have no cycles or intense pheromones. They are similar to normal humans and are considered neuter, although they can reproduce with others.

Omegas: These are the most sensitive and biologically fertile. Both men and women can become pregnant (mpreg). During heat, they emit pheromones that are irresistible to alphas, which makes them vulnerable.

Pheromones: Natural chemicals. Alphas' pheromones dominate, while Omegas' pheromones attract. Betas' pheromones barely emit any.

The Knot: A physical trait of male Alphas. Their penis swells inside the Omega at the end of sexual intercourse, ensuring fertilization.

The Mark: The Alpha's bite on the Omega creates an emotional and physical bond. Breaking it can be traumatic.

Alpha Voice: Ability to control or calm others with an authoritative tone of voice. Especially affects Omegas.

📌 Zeal (Omega) / Ruth (Alpha) 🔻 Zeal (Omega) It's a biological cycle in which the Omega releases pheromones and feels a strong sexual desire. It lasts for several days and can cause symptoms such as fever and anxiety if they don't have a partner. Suppressive medications aren't always effective.

🔺 Ruth (Alpha) It's the equivalent of heat for Alphas, during which they feel a need to mate. They become aggressive and possessive, especially if they're near an Omega in heat. Although they can control their heat, an Omega's pheromones make resistance difficult.

📌 Variants and Adaptations The Omegaverse is flexible, with stories that modify its rules, such as additional hierarchies. The mpreg (male pregnancy) allows male Omegas (and sometimes Alphas) ​​to become pregnant, explained by biological or fantastical differences.

📌 Biological Adaptations in Male Omegas Male Omegas have a uterus-like organ, sometimes near the stomach or connected to the intestines.

📌 Why does an Alpha reinforce the brand out of jealousy? Territorial and possessive, Alphas may reaffirm their bond with the Omega if another Alpha shows interest, if the Omega interacts with others, or if the Alpha feels insecure. This can lead to greater emotional dependence on the Omega and a stronger bond.

📌 The Knot The knot in the Alpha ensures fertilization and strengthens the emotional bond. It prevents the Alpha from withdrawing and increases the chances of pregnancy. It also demonstrates possession and increases the Omega's pleasure.

📌 Dual Player System In some versions, Omegas have a male reproductive system and an internal system that allows for gestation. They can produce sperm and eggs, allowing them to conceive with an Alpha.

📌 Internal Fertilization During sexual intercourse, the Alpha's knot ensures prolonged contact and facilitates fertilization. The Alpha's pheromones can activate the Omega's reproductive capacity, aiding in pregnancy.

📌 Pregnancy Development in Male Omegas 🔹 Pregnancy Length: Usually lasts between 6 and 9 months, although it can be shorter in stories with animal components. 🔹 Physical and Psychological Changes: The abdomen grows, and pheromones intensify. Omegas may become more emotional and dependent, seeking a safe place to give birth.

📌 Birth in Male Omegas 🔹 Natural Birth: Some Omegas have a special birth canal. 🔹 Cesarean Section: In more realistic universes, a cesarean section may be performed due to the lack of a suitable pelvic structure.

📌 Relationship with the Alpha During Pregnancy Alphas become overprotective and may reinforce the mark to emotionally stabilize the Omega.

📌 Fertility Suppressants and Control Hormonal suppressants, contraceptives, and pheromone control are included to prevent unwanted pregnancies.

📌 The Nest in the Omegaverse Nesting is an instinctive behavior that seeks to create a safe space, consisting of blankets, pillows, and clothing for the alpha. It is done during heat, pregnancy, or stress.

📌 Brand Reinforcement Marking is reinforced by the Alpha to maintain the emotional connection, especially if another Alpha approaches, during pregnancy, or after conflicts.

In the Omegaverse universe, an omega's belly—especially if functional or active—holds both biological and symbolic meaning. It not only represents the capacity to gestate life, but also the core of their sensitivity and vulnerability. Therefore, omegas tend to be extremely protective and wary of their abdomen, even if they are not pregnant. Showing it may be part of a cultural custom or a sign of trust, but allowing someone to touch or caress it is reserved only for those with a deep bond or a paired connection.

Touching an omega's belly without their consent is considered a personal invasion, similar to an attempt at domination or territorial marking. In more aggressive contexts, it can be interpreted as a gesture of possession or a prelude to mating, which is why many omegas cover or bandage their abdomens to avoid being vulnerable to intense or feral alphas. The connection between pheromones and that abdominal area also makes the belly highly sensitive, both physically and hormonally.

Regarding the terms "puppy" and "cub," they are affectionate and symbolic expressions that reinforce animalistic instincts within the Omegaverse. They are used to refer to the children of an Alpha/Omega couple and reflect a protective and tribal dynamic. "Puppy" is often used to refer to a developing child, not only physically, but also as a way of showing tenderness and belonging. In some cases, even an Omega can call a younger or vulnerable Alpha a "puppy," reinforcing the desire to protect, care for... or control.

These expressions reinforce the instinctive nature of this universe: the desire to form a pack, the need to protect what is considered one's own, and the intense, primary emotional bonds that define each relationship.
