a/b/o but make betas more relevant
"Jean."
That's Marco wrinkling his nose a little for the second time in ten minutes, looking at the other boy in exasperation. He knows it can't be easy for Jean to just sit here while Marco scents him and tries to smother it, but he could stop squirming so much. Marco needs to get a read on his scent if he's going to try to cover it up with his own!
That's what Instructor Shadis has entrusted (or outlawed, to hear Jean put it) to them today - scent training. More specifically, for Marco's ability as a Beta to suppress Omega and Alpha hormones if they were getting too out of control. Jean just had the unfortunate luck of having recently presented as an Omega and gone through his heat a few weeks ago.
Marco was still getting used to his own ability - out in Jinae, Betas hadn't been anything to really make note of, and he'd been a little disappointed when his notably calm, even demeanor did belie the noted calm, even demeanor of many Betas. Shadis had insisted differently in their training classes. In a group like the Survey Corps, the Betas ability to smother things like Alpha and Omega heats until they were back within the walls was worth its value in horses, to hear him explain it.
(And, well, he'd heard enough schoolyard talk from others about how they could do the opposite. How a Beta could drive an Alpha or Omega straight into a pseudo heat if they messed with their pheromones enough.)
He could recognize the scent coming off Jean now - something akin to boredom irritation annoyance - and leaned back a little further, putting out his own soothing scent, urging Jean's irritation to smooth out. "Do you wanna take a break?"

For now.
Jean brightens when Marco taps his collarbone. That, he can do, and he bends over Marco without another word. He trails a line of kisses across Marco's collarbone, dipping down towards his chest, before giving him a sharp, exploratory nip with his teeth. He's not trying to break the skin here, but it should be hard enough to bruise.

Marco lets his hands slip back onto Jean's hips, squeezing a little as Jean kisses his neck, making him exhale slowly. Then Jean bites, hard and sharp, and Marco's body jolts as he gives a low moan. He definitely enjoys a little bit of an ache with this, he's finding, and he pulls Jean's hips closer with a low whine.
Does Jean want him to return the favor? Because he's already leaning in to nose at his neck, placing a kiss over his scent glands but going lower.

Jean's ears perk up when Marco moans, and he's all too happy to cant his hips forward into Marco's grip. When Marco noses low on his neck, Jean's breath comes out in a hiss and he nods.
"Yeah... yeah, do it..."
Clearly mature, rational adults! One hundred percent in control of themselves!

At the very least, Marco knows not to bite where it'll be dangerous, in case of starting a bond. Instead, he keeps kissing along Jean's neck, like Jean had done to him. Once he reaches the curve of his shoulder, though, he gives into the desire to bite and does so, sinking his teeth in. Not enough to break skin, but enough to leave some sharp indents, sucking at the skin between his teeth before he releases it.
Yeah, that's a decent enough mark that it settles the thing that had flared up in his brain after he got a potent dose of Jean's omega hormones.

It also reminds him that they're here for a purpose, and he reaches down to grab Marco's hips, steadying them so he can rut against Marco's thigh. It's satisfying, certainly, and on any other day he'd probably be content to do this until he came in a big sticky mess. Today is not any other day, though, and this won't be enough.
Jean looks down at Marco, and just a hint of his usual cocky self seeps back through. "What, you're going to make me just hump your leg like a dog?"
