Ok well nobody asked but I'm bored so wild transmigration Naruro au borne of madness go.

So first things first Kishimoto made one gigantic mistake and that was making and naming a bit character that's easy to do the whole 'dead modern human pops into the body of a canon character' thing.

^ That's Tobio who shows up exactly once in the entire series at the start to accidentally knock Naruto off balance and kick off literal decades of shipping. This convinent oc stand in blank canvas is the turning point of the au that means when he accidentally dies as a result of that one off-canon event the universe* steps in and sticks a random schmuck in place to keep things basically on plan. There's, like, prophesies to fullfill (and cosmic schemes going on). Which is why and how a late age teenager finds themselves stuck in a 12 year old's body ("it matches your emotional age") after an unfortuante accident with nothing but the basi s of chakra and history downloaded to their brain and no psrsonal memories of the new body to call on. Oh, and a cheery "good luck" before getting dropped into basicially the start of the plot just before team allocation. Where, as the top student in the "espionage and subterfuge" class he's assigned as the final member of team 7.

To give the basic skeleton of what's taken shape in my head already the first arc would follow tobio as he tries to wrangle the cats known to the public as Sasuke and Naruto without actually letting anyone know he has literally no memory of anything that's happened to him before a couple months ago. Oh and surviving the grueling change of lifestyle inherent in becoming a Child Soldier. He's doing Great this arc. Not stressed At All as he tries to juggle managing his teammates' egos with getting stronger because he has none allies or parents or connections to fall back on if he stumbles.

Well he thinks so anyway he's Kakshi's favorite adorable little student because he's the one who keeps pulling NaruSasu apart and making them actually, you know, cooperate. Naruto likes him because tobio treats him like a person and Sasuke at least appreciates that he doesn't have a fangirl in his squad and he's even focused on getting better so no deadweight. Also Mizuki's hovering around asking how he's progressing and if he feels ready which is odd since wasn't Mizuki beaten to an inch of life for all that treason he was up to? Well, not tobio's problem.

If you're curious how tobio died so is he! He can't remember; he was just told in the void of space time that he had an accident, died and now he's getting shipped off to 12 year old boot camp. What he does know is his own sarcastic rebellious wit has nothing on the universe's* considering it called him a quote "sarcastic bitch" as it did the whole transmigiration thing.

Blah blah blah team building, lunch at ichiraku's using future knowledge to climb trees early the usual oc stuff up until Wave. Things even go kind of normal up until the city is reached where kakshi's chakra lesson gets more than a little derailed by tobio already knowing how to do the whole shebang. Instead of being sent off to guard the bridge he suggests Naruto do so with clones since he's been thinking of a way to make use of his specialized training and making this mission truly worth Konoha's time.

A reoccurring element of the first arc is that the people around him not really knowing the OG Tobio that well is a boon his training in espionage is also guiding tobio to keeping his own secrets under wraps. tobio wants to infiltrate Gato's orginization and siphon money directly into The Leaf's coffers as recompense for making it impossible for the village to get properly paid from the outset. Besides Zabuza's gonna kill Gato so it's fine. Kakshi is against it but can't deny the logic and concedes but insists tobio's top priority is his contiuned survival.

Due to all the miscellaneous ne'er do wells romping about it's easy for a trained Ninja to slip in and start liberating ryo for Konoha (and maybe some for Wave while he's at it). Things contiune apace until The Bridge Showdown where in the confusion tobio once again slips into the waiting horde of Goons. Right next to Gato. Kyubi chakra comes with a weird feeling alongside the terrifying bloodlust from Naruto himself and tobio seizes the opportunity to take out Gato himself before the order to fire on Zabuza can be given.

In the temporary silence we have a dying Haku, a dead Gato and a disguised tobio skipping out of the goon squad cheerfully announcing Gato's plan to shoot everyone left on the bridge dead before his interference and daring anyone to contradict him. They can't mostly because the small child with blood dripping off their knives has scared them silent, and instead of fighting they flee with a furious Zabuza in pursuit. Haku doesn't survive but Z does to contiune his bloodly plans for revolution but now without his restraining bolt. This will cause problems for our heroes later. But for now Wave is a success and only one of the children has killed anyone in cold blood. Only Kakashi is worried about this. Oh and all the builders who are now wary around the killer kid who mocked and psychologically attacked his victims first. Victory all around!

Kakashi can not get the privacy needed to properly talk to his genin about the thing he did until they're back in Konoha where he overhears Mizuki grilling his student for details on the mission and dropping info he really shouldn't be re: the kyubi, and implying Tobio was meant to somehow harm Naruto. Which is the conversation that tips tobio off to the divigerence which is that oops Tobio was doing himself a Treason. Thankfully tobio is a fully trained fluent liar who reports to Mizuki that he never had a chance to harm Naruto and that, no, there was no hint of the Kyubi both of which are lies the eavesdropping Kakashi catches but isn't sure what to make of. tobio himself is basicially flying by the seat of his pants as he describes Sasuke's growth and personality even as he internally starts to panic as he realizes just how epically Screwed he is since he also doesn't know Kakashi is there, and now Mizuki and Tobio's treason is his problem. Crap.

A sweep of his apartment has tobio finding a journal of his days in the academy where one day Tobio reports Mizuki pulling him aside and pointing out he'll be lucky go get a proper jonin teacher and get out of the genin corps if he continues on the normal path but Mizuki has a solution since he feels so bad for another orphan of the Kyubei attack. His new plan is to join the E&S course the so called "kunoichi class" and with Mizuki's help-all helpfully noted down by Tobio and utterly obviously manipulative to tobio-he can ace that and get put on a star team with a good future. With Sasuke he means so someone can keep an eye on the Uchiha for Orochimaru. The journal also veers off into a hateful anti-Konoha rant at the revealation of Tobio's parents killer's continued existence and favortism from the Third via Naruto. However misguided a start by the time of graduation testing Tobio had been perfectly groomed into Mizuki's personal spy who had a sneering relief that he could leave Konoha and a dead Naruto behind after they secured the scroll for their actual master.

Well, to be forewarned is to be forearmed as they say, and no one else in the village has as much foreknowledge as tobio who thinks it's high time he got serious and picked put a proper name for himself: Otogiri Tobio sounds perfect.

Otogiri doesn't know Kakashi knows even half of this but luckily neither does anyone else yet. While the poor scarecrow man tries to figure out just what is happening without directly confronting a possible traitor in his own squad even as political pressure mounts to prove one of Konoha's founding clans has a strong future by putting Sasuke (and his squad they guess. Whatever.) into the chuunin exam. With an effective A rank under their belt and Otogiri's proliferation of funds Kakashi would need a pretty sound reason not to bend to the council's "suggestion" and he doesn't want to leave the boys alone with a possible traitor but he also doesn't want T&E descending on his student for maybe nothing. So in they go causing the domino effect that ends with the K9 (sans sakura plus Otogiri) all enrolled in the annual deathmatch.

Ignorant of all this back door politicking going on Otogiri's already gearing up for the Invasion. Chuunin exams? Sure he's signed up the squad's in. Whatever. He's got bigger problems including Mizuki dropping in and telling him to meet up and assist the incoming Sound kids. No one notices the dog watching this play out not that Mizuki's sloppy enough to say anything outright but Otogiri catches the subtext, but also sees a chance to start turning the tables on that creep. After all Orochimaru already wants Sasuke, and Naruto's becoming pretty strong himself maybe they should pull everyone in?

So on the prophesied day squad 7 is coincidentally in place to welcome and show around the teens from the newly founded village of Sound. Otogiri is a little concered but the thing about Naruto is that yes he's loud and arrogant and annoying and has to be physically wrestled into bathing regularly but he's charismatic enough for all that to be liked anyway. And Zaku? Is loud and arrogant and definitely had to be wrestled into a bath at least 5 times so he likes the kid, and their friendly little mole's hinting that he's not been treated great by the Leaf so why not get along and lead the kid astray? Could be fun.

Kin has a headache. She's met louder blonde Zaku and she wants to Die about it. She and Sasuke bond over it as they have to quiet the duo down.

Dosu is amused by Kin's discomfort and Zaku's weirdly instant attachment, but as long as they serve their duty he's fine with it. They're the best the Sound has to offer that could pass as genin. The mole worries him a little, he's a little too quick witted and sharp to feel like he's really their ally and he never says anything to give him a hint of where he lies beyond the veiled code phrase he introduced himself with to mark him as the Tobio they were supposed to meet. The blonde's infectious energy and loudness doesn't leave him exposing weaknesses in the village, and The Uchia clearly looks down on their little village. Well he'd change his mind about that once the rest of his squad turned on him or Dosu would have the personal pleasure of wiping the smug off his face.

Otogiri is not having a great time he has a little over a month to get Dosu to trust him so he can derail Orochimaru's chess style pawn sacrifice strategy for his own shogi inspired pawn theft strategy. Some people might claim using alternate universe future knowledge is cheating. Otogiri would claim that he's trying to outwit someone who even with his ages combined has 20 years minimum on him so really he needs every advantage he can get. Especially because Dosu is so damn distrusting that getting an in to try and make the older boy waver on his desire to gain glory is harder than making Sasunaru work together back in the first arc.

Blah blah blah chuunin exam stuff test speech forest of death. Where Otogiri realizes there was a fight with Rock Lee but no declaration of lust from him without Sakura. And he has no connection to Ino beyond her sort of hating him for stealing what she thinks should be her place. No it doesn't matter Sakura outranked her, Otogiri's on the wrong end of Ino's many grudges and eventually despite his best efforts he winds up with an unconscious chakra dampened Naruto and a freshly Cursed Sasuke. No allies forthcoming and probably 3 teens expecting an easy kill on their way. To be killed to make Sauske stronger.

Otogiri must once again consider that actually The Universe* is just screwing with him. With a bit of deception, luck, and just plain knowing more than he should Otogiri convinces the trio when they show up they're not really meant to try and kill Sasuke it's all a test of how wisely they can act on a mission. He bluffs that Mizuki told him what The Master could do and how he marked Sasuke betting on Dosu at least managing to link Curse Seals and their Effects on the mark on Sasuke.

Sound trio on side Naruto and then Sasuke wake up groggy and foggy as hell but hey safe! With their new cool allies! Naruto's devious nature surfaces and he makes a plan to net both teams all the scrolls they'll need with his prankster past . While he has the time Otogiri pulls Zaku aside and warns him to watch his tubing around the Aburame since their bugs follow and eat chakra which is a huge vulnerability for specifically him. Sorry Shino it just ain't your time-line.

Successful plan put into motion everyone moves onto The Tournament where things play out basicially as they do with the exception of Shino getting outplayed by Otogiri's timely warning. Naruto does a little better and wins less with a stroke of luck and more by being just enough better at chakra control the seal doesn't completely stop him. And of course Ino tries to vent when she gets paired up with her new Fated Rival (that random boy who was better in class than her and hasn't given her a second thought all story) but Otogiri is tired stressed and over it so he forces a grapple pins her hand with a kunai and presses his advantage until he knocks her out because Ino is Not A Quitter. By any sane metric Ino does fine but Otogiri's got his sights aimed way higher and has been training accordingly. Sorry, Ino just ain't your timeline either.

Seconds into the fight he gets even more stressed out as he realizes all at once the various things even a brief jaunt into his soul/mind would reveal. Making him fight way more aggressivly and mercilessly which the other K9 minus s7 don't like. Zaku and Kin do but boo on them.

Easy part over Otogiri has to rededicate himself to several things all at once: untangling the invasion's plans without drawing too much attention to himself. Keeping the sound trio alive and out of Orochimaru's hands to keep him from going full Necromancer on the Third. Keeping Naruto and Sasuke safe from the wretched hands moving on them. Again not drawing aggro himself from Danzo and ROOT. Or Jiraya. Noted spymaster. Old teammate of his new archnemesis. Naruto's newest teacher. Whooo.

Meanwhile in the mountains Kakashi is training Sasuke because he got paired up against a serial killer jinjuriki. Which is one more gray hair on his head along with all the other stuff including Otogiri seeking him out in private and explaining the attack, the seals and who he suspects was the attacker. Which. Kakashi is smart, he now probably knows who Mizuki sold Konoha out to and how and why Otogiri would know who he is but he still has no idea what angle the kid is working. Or if approaching him about it is smart. Kids are hard and Kakashi has been avoiding this for years. Obito please come back and help him you were always basicially a kid you'd know what was going on.

Otogiri has come to the conclusion it's officially time to call Gondor for aid and seeing as there's maybe 3 people who could be discrete enough to trail the trio and play off if they got caught. One was on a mountain one is him and one is...capable of self replication. Welp time to put a hand over Naruto's gross mouth and explain the bullet points.

A pinned Naruto with two hands over his mouth later gives more context to the Mizuki mysteries; he confirms it was Mizuki who told him of the special pass requirement and that he never showed that night. Iruka found him and he remembers an odd smell but has no memory beyond a very verbal lashing. Neither boy knows how Mizuki got away with it, but Otogiri spells out the "truth" to Naruto about Mizuki's plans to steal the scroll and leave Naruto to rot for it. In return for the tiny lie Otogiri tells Naruto he knows about the Kyubei and has decided that Naruto's too kind and simple to be a demon fox so he's cool with him.

Before even a single sappy sentiment can be shared Otogiri launches into his suspicions about how valuable Orochimaru finds their new "friends'" lives and Naruto is all about protecting them (believe it!). Together with a little "totally unknowing" help from a certain Toad Sage they figure out Kabuto's ninja info cards have summoning seals on them and before Dosu can go and get himself killed the new duo gush about how excited they are to see Zaku and Dosu kick butt in the stadium which is enough to mollify Dosu's increasing need to go out and prove himself. Barely.

Zaku's feeling right offended they were given "information cards" as if they needed the help to kick a bunch of kids' asses in a straight fight. Otogiri could kiss that lanky moron because he just handed him the answer and he makes a big show of agreeing and saying they should prove it by getting rid of those useless cards and giving them to him and Naruto who could use the help. Dosu's suspicion gauge raises another tick but the trio do and those cards find themselves in Jiraya's hands lightning quick.

Surprise surprise the cards have summoning sutras on them to send the holders to a preset location. Jiraya with the subtly of a trained deceiver who's lead a spy ring for decades pries a lot of information from Otogiri very skillfully and concludes what Otogiri already knew regarding the intentions of summoning cards the holders didn't know about. So, the sound trio receive a friendly visit from a friendly toad man who gleefully shows them the trap on the cards and notes whoever gave them these might not be as trustworthy as they thought. The trio say nothing, cutting contact with OtoNaru.

Come the tournament a lot of the usual beats play out; late Sauske, Naruto's still heated about Nehi being the ultimate Heel wrestler, Shikamaru proves he can make wise tactical decisions and before the oragnizers have to awkwardly side step there's one too many contestants Sauske dramatic entrances in and the fight begins. A fight Naruto Otogiri and Shikamaru miss because Dosu and company have given it some thought and are going to just full Bail but they know what's about to start and at least want the duo (and shikamaru they guess) to be awake and away when the fighting starts.

Naruto Talks at them and tries to fire them up agaisnt ol copperhead as everything Pops Off including a pall of mist that descends over the arena. Zabuza's found a fellow revolutionary it seems. Sasuke takes off after Gaara with Naruto hot on his heels with a shove from Otogiri seeing as their the "same".

Otogiri rounds on the trio and decides to use his own version of Talk pointing out that they owe one person one thing and that's revenge on Orochimaru. He tried to sacrifice them multiple times hasn't been in contact with them, and was gonna do who knows what with their bodies without consent. They can flee in the middle if they want but don't they want to pop him in the metaphorical face first? Zaku does. Kin does. Dosu doesn't anymore but his almost-friends (all 4 of them) aren't budging so he figures he might as well prove how non disposable they are by messing up snakey's plans.

Shikamaru is thoroughly disgruntled because Naruto dragged him along to the Gaara mess which is going basicially like canon. Shino's even here his bugs having devoured the genjutsu and wanting to back up his non insane classmate. An exhausted Shikamaru can barely hold back a desperate Temari until the timely ringing of bells saves him. Kin's strings may not have much shadow but they are a direct path to a disoriented Temari who has to watch her little brother actually struggle and bleed before she gets introduced to a tree the same way Kin was to a wall. Naruto summons a giant frog.

Meanwhile Kakashi is meeting back up with Zabuza, his ninken already have the swordsmaster's scent and this time they do need to settle the score. Zabuza's both mad at Kakashi for reasons he knows aren't sound and persuing his goal since Orochimaru will eventually tear down Wave and he says will leave it to Zabuza while he goes after the rest. He has to make Haku's sacrifice count so Leaf has to die on the vine just in case this time the promise is real. No points for guessing who wins in this confusing melee. Final tally: 3-0 kakashi:zabuza it was close though.

Meanwhile again Mizuki's poised to take some sweet justice against Iruka for, frankly, being a better instructor ninja and person than him wheb Otogiri shows up playing it like he wants the honor. No dice, Mizuki's wanted this for awhile and the kid's nowhere close enough to be subtle and he just has to drop the genjutsu on Mizuki to make him miss and engage his manipulator in a direct confrontation to end this whole twisted mess. Good thing Mizuki doesn't have that filler arc power up because Otogiri's fighting an uphill battle on this one.

But first Hayate Gekko's girlfriend the ANBU member Cat is engaging his canonical killer Baki the sand jonin her swordsmanship sharp enough to leave Baki's attempts to entangle her blade useless. And him open to said jonin's surprise strike taking out the sandman. Oh how the turntables. Is what someone who knows the alternate timeline would say since that confrontation didn't happen in this one since Dosu wasn't trailed and Hayate killed for Knowing Too Much.

Speaking of Dosu he and Zaku have run into Kabuto who's cover is very blown because Konoha's Spymaster got a peek at his Trap Cards and no one is happy with anyone here. Dosu and Zaku aren't exactly jonin level even combined but in a chaotic melee large windbursts and balance altering soundwaves make up for a lot when your speciality is up close precision scapel attacks. Kabuto would win ordinarily but he's a wanted man and there's an angry snake lady willing to take out her misplaced sense of displacement on a willing medical collabteour. Kabuto gets away in the end but Anko takes one look at the trio once everyone's round up in the end and asks "is anyone gonna claim these kids?" And not wait for an answer.

Back to Otogiri who lacks the element of surprise of numbers to overwhelm Mizuki and is going pretty even but for all the cheap kill shots he has to prevent from taking out a defenseless wounded Iruka who himself got taken down protecting the academy kids not named nepotism. Mizuki isn't his usual sneering jackass self here because he's pissed that the kid he'd been grooming slipped out of his control and had taken to playing him for a fool. Otogiri bullshits back that after seeing how Orochimaru treated his soldiers he made the choice to back out before he was sacrificed for a madman's goals stubbronly ignorning the Danzo in the room for now.

Injured, humiliated and generally unpleasant Mizuki lunges for Otogiri and gets his hands around the boy's throat. Any plan of escape is cut off by a torrent of rage and red as Otogiri loses it after all of Mizuki's crap and he simply rips the man's hands off him and before the former instructor can process the impossible thing he just witnessed he's driven into the side of the academy and has a kunai driven through his neck. Good thing Iruka passed out from his wounds and no impressionable children saw that. Oh hi Konohamaru don't wanna come out of hiding in that closet and say hi to Naruto nii chan's friend? No? Suit yourself he's gotta hurry Iruka to a healer anyway no time to stop and ask questions like "how" or "what the fuck?"

The final results of the invasion are far from pretty. Konoha's numbers are still pretty cut down as are Sand's who are still totally playing that "Orochimaru killed our kage and was giving orders so us invading you is totes not our fault" card they did in canon. It's accepted for the same reason as in canon: the sharks are already circling with blood in the water no need to churn the tide when a perfectly good excuse is offered up.

Third watch: without two other kages backing him in a restricted space and not enough time to restructure the plan to get Mandra in on the action sun wukong and The Professor taught a hard lesson in getting absolutely whomped. Orochimaru got away alive sans a working leg, but old man bodies aren't really still made for pitched life or death combat and his body's heavily protesting the return to combat. The can can be kicked a little further down the road safely but they need a qualified non Danzo candidate and soon.

Sound Trio: the corps aren't totally happy about it but they need manpower and they've got friends on the inside and a grudge against orochimaru so...probation working with Anko. She already adopted them they can't say no. And by adopted i do mean carted them away in a net to get lodgings and food. And a good medic to look at Zaku's arms.

Otogiri: in so much trouble you have no idea. His various schemes finally came out around someone without the good sense to lie about it so T&I would like a word with him. And Kakashi? Who is now claiming before anyone can even threaten pain or a jaunt through his head that they were in already working against the threat to Konoha since Wave. Kakashi?

His claim is the money stolen from Gato to insulate Wave and brought back to Konoha was in preparation for the coming storm. Obviously deep internal agents like Mizuki and Kabuto left Kakashi little choice but to keep Otogiri in deep cover to root out the problem without drawing suspicion by having contact with known figures like The Third. Kakashi had total control of the situation the whole time. Honest.

Otogiri's just kind of nodding along because he is just getting windmall slammed by haymaker after haymaker in a pretty short window of time. Ibuki is Not Buying This but the kid's actions prove his loyalty at the end of the day and if Hatake wants to take the lumps for his kid? Well, more power to him. Ibuki reminds Kakashi there are 'proper verified channels' for internal operations and he should remember to use them in the future. He expects a full concise report regarding everything from both of them and sends the teacher-student pair off with a glare.

This is where all that Kakashi stuff from earlier gets revealed to the audience as he goes over how and when he caught Otogiri mid treason and how close an eye he's actually been keeping on the boy. It is as terrifying as Kakashi's tone is light. Otogiri's just so incredibly thankful he declares his undying loyalty to his sensei for looking out for him and following his own principals so closely. Yes, Otogiri is crying at this point why do you ask?

This is the peaceful denouement of part 1 as Otogiri goes around catching up with who he can he is left to ponder why he has Kyubei chakra. How did Tobio even die anyway? And why is Jiraya here inviting him on a trip with Naruto? Does he wanna be a spymaster? Wasn't fixing Tobio's mistake the end of the story why is there more? Help!

Miscellaneous character notes on Otogiri:

-> is fairly meta and aware of transmigration novels and some of their rules. Is wrong about as often as he is right

-> has a fairly solid grasp on the character's motives but can't predict moments of wild humanity

-> has a hard time grasping his own mortality despite or rather because he has already died once. Will blank out at the idea of dying as bad as if not worse than Sakura when intent is aimed at him. Refuses to dwell on his first death or Tobio's

-> sarcastic and frequently argumentative. He likes to pick fights when he's feeling safe with someone.

-> was a bit of an edgelord in life and has a twisted sense of morality. His interference doesn't cost Shino his life but it could have and he ignores that for his own goals.

-> early on is mildly obssessed with finding the divervent point of import thinking if he can solve The Problem he'll fade into an epilogue or something. Is in Denial.

-> connecting events in his present with his past unlocks memories of both Tobio's life and his own. Facing his own death is the only way for him to Understand.

Summary:

Steve will stop at nothing to get the coveted Harrington internship. Not even blackmail.

Steve loved going to college. He had always thought it would be a pipedream until everything just seemed to fall into place. Dating Nancy his senior year meant that he started to take his school work seriously and Nancy was patient with him if he needed help. His grades drastically improved and his dad agreed to pay for college. He was surprised but elated as he didn't need to focus on anything but his grades and having a good time. College was more challenging than high school and Nancy was still back home completing her senior year but he'd found himself a replacement of sorts. Dylan was in all his classes and just like Nancy, he was smart, patient and good at explaining concepts. For his part, Steve had gotten them both into the most exclusive fraternity on campus. Steve knew all the tricks to get in even though they didn't normally accept Omegas. He didn't talk about his status. It had been a shock when he'd presented at seventeen, a late bloomer by most standards. His status hadn't held him back so far but it was a major hurdle in one respect. The Harrington internship.

It was the most coveted internship and Steve hadn't been actively pursuing it as it was his family's business so he didn't think he needed to. He had gone home for Christmas vacation where he'd learned from his mom that his dad was expecting him to earn the place. Steve had been confused.

"But I'll just be taking it away from someone else when I can just work at the office anytime."

"I know Darling but you know your father, he has certain ideas."

Steve knew what those ideas were only too well. Since he'd been thirteen he'd been working at the family business. His dad had learned the ropes from the bottom up and he expected Steve to be the same. It hadn't taken long for him to learn that his dad only thought Omegas were good for bringing coffee and looking good at the office. He hadn't thought much about his outdated views when he'd been younger but once they applied to him he wanted to change his dad's mind. This had never been an easy task. John Harrington was nothing if not stubborn and determined and once he'd decided something that was it.

Being the only Harrington at college made the task feel more daunting but Steve was determined to prove his dad wrong. He wasn't exactly proud of the things he'd done to narrow the field but he had to succeed. Even though it was a coveted internship some students weren't interested. This was either because they had places secured elsewhere or they didn't qualify due to their grades. Others were easy to intimidate through virtue of being a Harrington as he could convince them that they didn't stand a chance. The others were slightly more tricky but Steve had built himself a perfect network through his charm and connections at the fraternity. It made it so easy to discover other people's secrets. Little by little he wore everyone down until there was only one rival. However, he knew this would be his toughest opponent.

Billy Hargrove was already a step ahead as he was an Alpha. He had drive, was determined and unfortunately for Steve, he was incredibly smart. He'd only tried a few times to intimidate him only to find himself pinned to a wall or laughed at. Billy didn't run in the same circles as Steve. He was a scholarship student and worked half the week as a bartender in one of the clubs near the college. He hadn't joined any fraternities and lived off campus in a run-down apartment block. He was still hugely popular as he was smart and found time to be a varsity basketball player. Steve saw him intermingle with several different groups, he didn't seem to need to study but did attend a study group where he helped others and he didn't seem to have a steady Omega. All he ever heard through the grapevine was how amazing he was. He could be an asshole but only to people who pissed him off and that wouldn't prevent him from getting the internship.

He'd been feeling a little desperate when a drunken conversation at the fraternity house changed everything. Steve had been enjoying a few games of pool with the other members of the fraternity and mentally preparing himself for summer vacation. It was only a few weeks away and he knew his dad would ask him about school. He couldn't stop thinking about Billy and how he could take him down when he heard his name. He looked around even though Billy rarely attended parties at the fraternity as he was usually working. He heard his name being said on a sob and walked over to the couches. There sat three Omegas, the one in the middle had dark wavy hair and watery hazel eyes. His two friends were sitting close and attempting to console him to little effect.

"I can't believe I went to his work. Why didn't you stop me?"

"Don't worry he didn't seem that angry."

"Are you serious? I thought he was going to kill me…I mean we had such a good time is it ridiculous to expect a little more?"

"No, of course not."

They fell into a strained silence and Steve thought that was it. He'd hoped to find out something interesting but it seemed it was just someone being a little dramatic. He'd just turned to walk away when the Omega opened his mouth and wailed. Steve turned back just as his friend leaned in and whispered something. He looked around and realised everyone was watching him. He shrunk in on himself as Steve moved silently closer. The Omega spoke softly but urgently.

"The tape, oh god I just know he's going to show it around now because I pissed him off."

"He won't."

"How do you know?"

"He hasn't before and remember all that craziness with Sadie, if anyone's tape was going to get leaked it was her and nothing."

"I can't believe I let him tape us."

"Shhh it's ok you're not the only one."

The Omega's cheeks warmed to a deep crimson.

"It had been so hot and I knew others had done it…"

Steve's curiosity was officially piqued. The three Omegas fell silent once more before one left to get a drink and the other was called away by someone else. Only the upset one remained. Steve quickly grabbed a couple of drinks and sat down beside him. He looked up at him with big soft hazel eyes and Steve smiled reassuringly.

"I noticed you didn't have a drink and it's my job to make sure everyone is having a good time."

He held it out and the Omega took it gingerly before quickly downing it in one go.

Steve smiled brightly.

"My name's Steve."

"Ryan."

Steve passed Ryan the second drink which quickly followed the first. Steve engaged him in an awkward but pleasant conversation before getting him more drinks.

"I'm sorry you had a bad night. Is there anything I can do?"

Ryan stared down into his empty glass. He slowly shook his head.

"Not unless you can erase this past week."

"Can't be that bad."

"Oh yeah well tell me if this qualifies, I finally caught the attention of the hottest Alpha on campus and we ended up back at his place where I had simultaneously one of the best and worst nights of my life, he's amazing and I still get shivers thinking about it but I stupidly let him tape us which would be fine only I wanted more and I went his work and tried to gain his attention in the most pathetic way and now he hates me and he's going to leak the tape…"

"What tape?"

"The tape of us playing hide and seek."

Ryan glared at him and Steve knew he needed to tread carefully.

"Sorry that was a stupid question but how do you know he even has a tape?"

Ryan exhaled heavily.

"His collection is an open secret at this point…I know at least two other people who've made tapes and I saw him put a tape in the camera…and I know from someone else who saw him with other tapes."

"Like a lot of tapes?"

"I dunno he has a box under his bed but I don't know how many."

Steve gently rubbed Ryan's arm.

"See the tapes are known about but no one's seen them so I wouldn't worry. I'm sure everything will blow over."

Ryan deflated against the couch.

"I hope you're right."

One of his friends reappeared with a glass of water and apologised for disappearing. Steve carefully moved away and headed to his room. He finally had something on Hargrove.

The next day he went in search of Betty. She was an Alpha who had a reputation for getting people things they needed by any means necessary as long as they had the funds. She was petite with long wavy blonde hair and crystal-clear green eyes but looks could be deceiving and Steve had seen her hold her own in a fight. He found her outside her sorority house on her way to class.

"Can I ask a favour?"

"Depends on what kind."

"It does involve a little breaking and entering."

"Where?"

"That apartment block near the college."

She didn't speak for a moment and then nodded.

"What are you after?"

"A tape."

"Is this about Hargrove?"

"Why?"

Betty stopped and turned to look at him.

"I'd heard rumours but I didn't think he was your type."

"What? No…look I just want to steal a tape."

"Why?"

"Does it matter?"

"I know some people who are on those tapes and I don't want their reputations ruined because of what you two have got going on."

Steve sighed.

"I promise nothing will be leaked. I won't even watch it, it's just to scare him OK?"

She watched him intently for a moment.

"It'll cost you double."

Steve nodded.

"And I've two other stipulations, one I want you there as a distract/lookout and two if any tape gets leaked I'm coming for you."

"Why would I be a distraction?"

Betty rolled her eyes.

"Do you agree to my terms or not?"

Steve knew this was his only chance. He agreed.

Betty wanted to do it later that night. Billy would be working and they had the cover of darkness to aid them. They walked up to Billy's apartment 2B, the door was worn with chipped paint. Betty crouched down and started on the lock. It only took her a few moments before there was a click and the door slowly creaked open. She nodded at Steve and slipped inside pulling the door closed behind her. Steve walked across the hall and waited. If Billy appeared he had to knock on the door three times. His mind wandered as he stood listening to the sounds of people cooking, walking across their apartments and the intermingling conversations from televisions that were playing a little too loud. It felt like being in a fraternity only these people probably didn't organise parties together or act like a club.

It had taken him a while to get used to all the noise after the still quietness of his home in Hawkins. Even when his parents were there the most they did was play music very softly in the evenings as they enjoyed a drink together. He had thought that he'd crave the silence too as it was all he knew but he'd learned that he loved noise. Silence gave him too much time to think and he preferred to get lost in anything other than his thoughts. He hoped in a few years after he'd worked at the company that he could be transferred to one of the big cities. He'd frame it as independence. He just wanted to carve out his path in life which wasn't completely untrue. He just didn't want to end up like his parents, sitting in a darkened room with a cold drink and only the soft music for company.

The sound of a roaring engine broke through his thoughts and he looked outside to see Billy's Camaro pulling into a spot outside. He walked briskly towards his door and gave it three sharp knocks. He moved back expecting Betty to appear but when she didn't he knocked again. The elevator dinged behind him and he turned just in time to see Billy exiting. He moved away from his door but he didn't have anywhere to go so he took a deep breath and walked towards him. Billy looked up from his keys and spotted him immediately. A smirk spread across his face as he boxed Steve in against the wall.

“Slumming it tonight Princess?"

Steve turned so that he could keep an eye on his door. He rolled his eyes at Billy.

"Why I'm here is none of your business."

"Sure it wasn't to see me?"

Betty's fingers slid through Billy's door and Steve felt his heart leap into his throat. He just needed to distract him long enough for her to escape. He moved closer to the wall so that he had to look up at Billy making his neck long and exposed. He watched with a little satisfaction as his eyes became glued to his throat.

"No, I was meeting with someone else, I just got a little lost on my way back."

Billy bared his teeth.

"Who?"

"No one you know."

Betty slowly eased herself out and gently pulled the door closed behind her. She turned and walked briskly down the hall towards the apartments at the back. Steve sighed softly. He gave Billy a condescending smile.

"Great chat Hargrove but I've got places to be."

He jumped as Billy placed his nose on his throat and inhaled deeply. His breath was hot and humid as he breathed against his skin.

"You smell so good, I bet you'd smell even better after you've been squirming on my knot."

Billy's scent enveloped his senses and he felt his stomach twist pleasantly. Steve could never deny that Billy was an attractive Alpha but he had more important things to do. He slipped out from underneath him and backed away.

"Maybe some other time."

Hargrove leaned back against the wall.

"Any time Sugar, just give me a call."

He walked back to his car which he'd parked down the block and waited. Around five minutes later Betty arrived and handed him a VHS tape with 'Ryan' scrawled across it. He gave her the money they'd promised.

"I don't care what little kinky game you and Hargrove are playing, you better stick to your word."

Steve nodded.

That night he kept turning the tape over in his hands. There was a curious little voice in the back of his mind whispering that he could watch it. That nobody had to know. He wasn't going to show anyone else or even talk about it. He just wanted to see Billy in action. He'd heard so many rumours and heard that shivery little tremor to other Omega's voices when they talked about what a night with Billy was like. Steve knew that he could find out for himself. Billy didn't seem choosey and he'd spelt it out for him earlier but he had two problems. One was that he was currently in the process of blackmailing Billy into giving up the internship that he needed to secure a good job post-college. The other was that Steve had tried to play the field in high school and learned the hard way that he loved being in love. Not all sex was equal. He knew that Billy would probably blow his mind but he couldn't bear the thought of crying into his drink after embarrassing himself like Ryan. He'd been there in the past. Picking fights and wallowing in his grief but it wasn't worth it especially if he knew the outcome and everyone knew a night with Billy was a one-time thing.

He placed the tape on the back of his shelf and crawled into bed. Tomorrow he would finally best Billy and could return home secure in the knowledge that he'd made his dad proud.

It took him almost a full day to get up the courage to confront Billy. He didn't know why but he had butterflies in his stomach every time he tried to think about it. The tape still weighed heavily on his mind. Finally at around eight that evening he grabbed the tape and drove over to Billy's apartment. It was the same as the night before with the sounds of people's lives echoing in the halls. He knocked on his door with one hand. Clutching the tape in the other. He wasn't even sure Billy was home but his door swung open. Billy's eyes lit up when he saw Steve standing there.

"Hello Princess, what do I owe this unexpected pleasure."

"I have to talk to you about something."

"C'mon in."

Billy moved back and Steve followed him into his small apartment. It had a small sitting area with a kitchenette and a door off to the side which Steve assumed was his bedroom. He tried to keep his eyes off it. Billy sat down on his couch and patted the seat next to him. Steve walked closer but didn't sit.

"I'm just going to get to the point, a tape has come into my possession which concerns you."

Billy smirked at him.

"What kind of tape?"

"You know what kind of tape."

Billy shrugged.

"You'll have to explain it to me, Pretty Boy."

"I don't have to explain anything everyone knows about these tapes and I don't think the deciding committee for the internship would approve."

Billy laughed. It was a cruel cackle. Steve grew impatient. He threw the tape onto the couch beside Billy.

"Ryan? That could be anything."

Steve scoffed.

"I don't think Ryan would agree."

Billy watched him intently.

"Have you watched it?"

Steve felt his cheeks heat. He shook his head.

"Then where's your proof?"

"On the tape."

Billy lifted it.

"It could be a birthday party for all you know."

"Fuck off Hargrove why would you have Ryan's birthday party."

"How about we watch it to find out?"

Steve's heart started to race.

"I don't want to see that."

A smug smile spread over Billy's face.

"No? How can you blackmail me if you haven't even seen the evidence?"

Steve swallowed heavily as Billy stood and walked towards his bedroom. He stood completely frozen for a moment unsure what to do when he heard his name and as though in a trance followed him. Billy was placing the tape into a camera connected to a television. He sat on his bed and Steve's heart stopped dead in his chest as he realised he'd have to sit beside him to see the screen. He gingerly sat down only for Billy to move closer as he lifted a remote off his bedside table. His warm thigh pressed against Steve's as he pressed play.

Ryan from the frat house was sitting on the bed looking into the camera with a shy expression on his face. Billy appeared and pinned him down on the bed to Ryan's delight. Suddenly they went into fast motion as Billy pressed a button on the remote.

"May as well skip to the good part."

Steve's face grew hot as he pressed play and suddenly the room was filled with the sounds of skin slapping against skin and Ryan's loud whimpers. On the screen, his eyes were transfixed to Billy's hard cock pumping in and out of Ryan. He bit his lip at the sounds that Ryan was making. He'd never heard anyone sound quite like that in real life. He took a shuddering breath and realised that Billy wasn't watching the tape. His eyes were fixated on Steve. He licked his lips nervously and turned towards him. Billy moved in closer.

"I can make you whimper twice as loud."

Steve opened his mouth to disagree only for Billy to capture it in a passionate kiss. He soon found himself pinned against the bed with Billy's hands slowly peeling off his clothes. The twist in his stomach was making him squirm as he listened to the sounds coming from the tape and imagined himself in Ryan's place. He wanted Billy to turn him into a whimpering mess, leave deep marks all over his skin and knot him so good he'd make a show of himself for more. Billy kissed his way down Steve's body leaving stinging kisses as Steve couldn't help glancing at the screen. The look of complete ecstasy on Ryan's face as Billy's knot tied them together. He wondered what Billy's face looked like at that moment as his face was turned away from the camera. He hadn't made much noise aside from a few grunts and whispered dirty words to Ryan. He felt his fingers dig into his thighs and Billy's hot breath ghost over his skin.

"What about the camera?"

Billy looked up at him in surprise.

"What about it?"

"Are you not going to switch it on?"

He didn't fully understand why he wanted this but he knew he desperately did. There was something dirty wrong hot about it in his mind. That infuriating little voice back whispering about all the things he didn't want to admit that he wanted.

"Want to see my knot splitting you open on repeat Sweetheart?"

He bit his lip so hard it turned white as Billy smirked up at him. He moved up and ejected the tape before walking over and pulling out a new one. He pushed it into the camera and pressed record. Steve lying dishevelled with hazy eyes and a rosy face filled the screen. He became hypnotized by his image as Billy lay back down and started to suck marks into his thighs. He couldn't help watching everything play out on the screen as though it detached him from his questionable decisions. Would Billy watch this back later? Would he someday be the soundtrack to someone else's encounter? A moan bubbled up his throat as Billy sunk his teeth into his thigh. He felt his underwear being slid down and off his body before Billy's fingers spread him open.

"Fuck Sweetheart you love being on camera huh?"

He shivered at the feeling of Billy's tongue lapping at him before it slithered inside making his stomach swoop. Billy groaned as Steve's body fluttered around him. He pushed a finger in alongside his tongue giving him a few minutes to get used to it before he pushed in a second. He whimpered as Billy's fingers stroked over his prostate making pleasure pool in his stomach.

Billy pulled back from him and wrapped his hands around his hips. He pulled him up and manhandled Steve over until he was on all fours with his ass pointed towards the camera. He could no longer see the screen but moaned at what he imagined was displayed for the camera when Billy spread his ass open. He pushed his fingers back inside and Steve clamped down on them. It didn't take long for Billy to find his prostate and rub his fingers over it until Steve's legs were shaking. He tried desperately to swallow down the sounds that were escaping from his mouth but every time he tried Billy pushed his fingers up against his prostate until he felt like he was going to explode. Billy chuckled softly.

"I told you you'd whimper twice as loud."

Steve shuddered as slick ran down his thighs. His body fluttered around Billy's fingers as his hips snapped forward chasing the orgasm that Billy kept him on the precipice of. He licked over his lips.

"Billy…please…"

A sharp slap to his ass gave a counterpoint to the pleasure which only heightened it as his skin warmed.

"Tell me how much you want it."

He took a shuddering breath. It was getting harder to think all he did was want.

"I want it…please…"

"You want to be a writhing slut for my cock like a good little Omega…"

"Yes…uhhhhh…"

As Billy's fingers stuffed him full he felt his other hand spread him open and he felt lightheaded thinking about the camera and the images it was recording. He wondered if anyone else had a video like this and secretly hoped he was the only one. That out of the possibly dozens of tapes, Steve's was different. That Billy would wear it out because he had Steve so spread and desperate.

"So tight and wet…think it's time to finally loosen you up…"

He slowly pulled his fingers free even as Steve's body tried to keep them there by squeezing tight. He felt his hands on his hips pressing him down until the hot skin of his hard cock was rubbing over him. He spread his legs a little wider silently begging for it. Billy wasted very little time and Steve whined at the stretch as his cock pressed inside. He felt so overwhelmed as he started a brutal rhythm that he felt an electric crackle under his skin. The twist in his stomach became a hurricane that spread out through him until he felt it everywhere. His mind was on overdrive.

Billy made a strange noise like a wounded animal and suddenly Steve felt his knot splitting him open. He cried out at all the sensations that he felt at once. His body was trapped between pushing in deeper and pulling away until Billy's cock pressed in exactly where he needed it. The pleasure flowing through him became white hot and he shivered as he came all over the bed beneath him as Billy lay over him. He was pulled over onto his side as Billy pressed biting kisses to his throat and Steve got lost in the pleasure.

He resurfaced when he heard the tape click as it ran out of space and rewound itself. He looked up at the blue screen as he felt Billy shift behind him. His knot had deflated so his cock slowly slid free and he couldn't help the moan that escaped him as he felt come run down the backs of his thighs. Billy kissed the back of his neck as he pushed his fingers into his body and he whimpered as it sent little shocks of pleasure through him.

Billy sucked a mark on his neck right above where the collars of his shirt sat. He pulled him around so Steve could see the hungry look in his eyes as Billy kissed him. Pleasure was building inside him again between Billy's harsh kisses and his stroking fingers. He wrapped his legs around him and sighed happily when Billy pushed his hard cock inside. It was slow but no less intense the second time. He was able to see how affected Billy was and how desperate he became. It only heightened his pleasure. He fell asleep wrapped up in Billy's arms and tried desperately not to feel anything too deeply. That annoying little voice was less sultry and more hopeful but Steve ruthlessly ignored them. Billy never gave repeat performances.

He eventually did have to leave Billy's the following morning. He needed to get a shower and attend his last classes before Christmas vacation. He shamelessly snuck out while Billy was in the shower and ran back to his car. He couldn't bear him being cold now that he'd gotten what he wanted so chose to avoid it instead. They only had a few days left and it was hard to ignore him while Billy's eyes burned through him and his skin still tingled everywhere he'd touched him. He wondered if deep down Billy was still pissed about him attempting to blackmail him even though it was the worst blackmail attempt in history.

He was packing a couple of days later and he reached a decision. He wasn't going to pursue the internship and he was going to tell his dad when he got home. Even if he hadn't given in to Billy he knew deep down that he deserved it more. He had the drive and the grades. He needed it more than Steve. He could hear his dad asking if Billy was an Alpha with an understanding nod when Steve said yes. A hot itchy sensation at the back of his throat made him clench his teeth. His status had nothing to do with how good he was at the business. He'd dedicated so much of his life to it already and if his dad didn't want him he knew he'd find somewhere that did. He might have to start all over but it was better than feeling like he had to fuck everyone else over just so he didn't have to feel like a failure.

A knock at his door interrupted his racing thoughts. He looked at the time. It was too early for the final fraternity meeting and he didn't even know if he wanted to attend. He sighed it was probably just Dylan.

"Yeah?"

His door opened and his heart stopped when Billy walked inside and closed the door behind him. It had been a few days but suddenly he felt like they hadn't left Billy's bed yet. He could feel the pleasure tingling under his skin at the hungry look in his eyes. He swallowed heavily.

"Just came to see how your application for the internship was going."

"I think I stand a good chance."

Billy smirked and produced a tape from behind his back. It was just a plain black VHS tape with a white label with 'Princess' scrawled across it. It looked completely innocuous but Steve's mind supplied him with what was on that tape. The familiar twist in his stomach made his head spin. Billy caressed the tape as he moved it from hand to hand.

"We could always submit your tape as proof of what a good little Omega you are, I'm sure Daddy would approve."

Steve had to suppress a whimper at the idea of someone else seeing his tape. If other people knew how pathetic he was for Billy's knot. It felt like a nightmare and a forbidden fantasy all rolled into one. His legs started to shake as his face heated. He could feel the bitemarks he couldn't quite hide start to itch. Billy smirked at him as he held the tape out.

"Want to watch it and find out?"
