Chapter Text
“I want a baby”
“What—“
“God! Are you okay”, he gets up quickly, fetching a napkin from his pocket and coming in beside Nagi to wipe up his mouth and take the cup of tea from his hand to place it on the coffee table, he then proceeds to rub his back as he painfully wheezes, “Do you need a cup of water? Are you sick? Does your throat hurt?”
“What?”, he chokes, his eyes filled with tears from how hard he’s been coughing.
Reo frowns, utterly confused and at a loss at his best friend's reaction, “why do you keep repeating that? What’s wrong with you?”
“Me?! What’s wrong with me?”
Seeing Reo’s unimpressed stare he takes a deep breath before turning to face him and saying with the most collected and serious tone he could muster, “You want a baby”
It was not a question.
“Yes”
“An actual living being that can breathe and shit”
“Yes”
“A human child, you want to carry it in your womb for nine months and give birth to it”
Reo huffs, getting irritated with every second that passes as Nagi keeps questioning his decision, “Yes Nagi, I want a baby of my own, what’s so crazy about that?”
“Why”
“What do you mean why?”, he frowns.
Nagi is about to lose it, really. Despite being friends with Reo since they were teenagers, and getting more than accommodated with Reo impulses and random decisions, the latter still finds ways to surprise him. A baby is a big step, a life changing decision, Nagi doesn’t know if Reo had thought this through or if it’s just one of his many whims that he doesn’t hesitate to follow immediately—But as his best friend it’s his duty to make sure that Reo doesn’t fuck up his life, not after he worked so hard to achieve his current position. He’s a player on one of the most successful teams in the country, the head of the Mikage’s corporate, and currently labelled as the most influential man in the business world. Not to mention the next World Cup is next year, and they had finally established themselves as starting players on the Manshine City team. A baby might just throw a wrench in all their perfectly calculated plans. But again, Reo is a great planner, someone who’s proven time and time again just how insightful he is. Not only on the field—when he’s directing everyone to the best possible position to score a goal, but also outside of football, when he notices someone complaining of muscle pain so he offers them a cold compress to ease the pain, or when he steps out to boost the team’s morale after yet another crushing loss—even if he himself is in need of some cheering. But most importantly, Reo has always been the most perceptive and thoughtful when it comes to Nagi and their shared dream. He’ll make sure the both of them are well rested and have a good night of sleep before every important match, he’ll make sure their play on the field is without any flaws.
So maybe Reo had planned this, and knows what he’s about to get himself into, he trusts Reo, he truly does.
Still, why would Reo come to him off all people with such a thing?
“You want a baby”, he repeats, for the umpteenth time.
“Sei—for god’s sake”
“Okay”
“Wh—“, it’s Reo’s turn now to be speechless.
He may be a little confused, and nervous about the whole concept—the mere thought of him being involved with Reo like that is terrifying. Nagi thinks if he ever makes contact with Reo’s pussy he’s gonna pass out—not that he didn’t think about it, Reo is possibly the most beautiful and appealing Omega he’s ever seen, and Nagi has been lusting over him and his delicious body and nice intoxicating smell since the first time they met. But he never thought it would go anywhere, Reo is way out of his league, he could have anyone he ever desires with just the snaps of his fingers—Nagi included.
He’ll be insane for sure, if he lets this chance slip by him.
“Okay, let’s have a baby”
“Are you sure?”
He locks his eyes with Reo’s hopeful ones, “Yeah”
The purple haired reward him with the biggest smile ever and a hug so tight that Nagi can feel Reo’s heartbeat beating against his own even long after they separated.
So a baby—he’s about to be a father.
Fuck.
—-
Reo has dreamed of being a mother ever since he was young—way back before he even presented.
You see, a mother is a fascinating role, you get to create your own little human, carry it in your tummy and nurture it with love and affection until it is born and blooms beautifully.
Not to mention that babies are super cute, they’re so tiny and squishy and they make little sounds and stare at you with their big round eyes as they blabbers and held their hands out to you—well, safe to say Reo is having a baby fever, especially after seeing so many of his friends having one or two of their own.
His instincts have been going crazy lately, his heats are a literal hell, hours upon hours of him being bedridden and desperately wishing for his womb to be filled with warm thick seeds. And it keeps getting worse whenever he’s in close contact with Nagi.
His best friend is of course unaware of his inner turmoil, so naturally he had to take matters into his own hands.
Nagi is the perfect Alpha for him, caring, loyal, and protective. His stomach flutters whenever he sees Nagi getting offended on his own behalf or when he’s ready to fight guys twice his size who could snap his neck just because they pushed Reo or insulted him—hence him always battling with Barou when they were still in blue lock.
Nagi cares about him, he cherishes him, and he promised to stay with him till the end—even after they win the World Cup.
Reo wants to have his babies.
Well, maybe one baby at a time, he’s not trying to get way ahead of himself.
He’s not going to be young forever—he’s turning thirty next year , and he’s in the prime of his career, both as a footballer and a businessman, so what better time to have a baby than now?
—
Nagi hasn’t seen the sun for three days.
He’s been holed up in his room, either facing his laptop and watching educational videos on heats, pregnancy and Omegas anatomy, or freaking out in the middle of the day because for god’s sake he and Reo are going to share a heat.
He’s not a virgin by any means, he’s had rut partners in the past, he does know how sex works in theory and In practice . But this is Reo we’re talking about, his best friend, his partner, the guy he loves most in the whole world.
If he fucks this up it’s gonna be so over for him.
He groans as he closes his laptop, all this research has given him a headache. Reo would tell him if he did something wrong, he’ll guide him through it, they’ll take care of each other like they always do.
There’s no need to be so nervous.
Nagi had just finally calmed down enough to make himself dinner and sit down to eat it, when his phone rings and he checks the caller to see that it’s Reo. And his nerves start going haywire again.
“ Hello ?”
“ Come over quickly, I need you”
He’s up and running within seconds.
—
Reo opens the door immediately once he arrives, face flushed and breathless as he stands in front of him in nothing but a large shirt that barely covers his thighs—that looks oddly familiar. Nagi takes one look at him and his knees nearly buckle under him, he has to try extra hard not to jump him like a wild animal on the spot.
“You’re just in time”
Reo drags him by the wrist inside and closes the door, his warm and sweaty hand should probably gross Nagi out—and he would, if he wasn’t so turned on.
“My heat just started, I’ve meant to call you earlier but got busy with some stuff, these goddamn new interns can’t do anything on their own, but they can wait till I come back, whole department won’t collapse just because I took a couple of days off out of necessity—“
He turns around with a frown, “Are you even listening!”
“Yes, sorry what did you say? ”, he gulps, barely two minutes in and Reo is already irritated with him. But can you even fault him? Reo looks absolutely ravishing , his long legs and strong thick thighs are on full display for Nagi to see, not to mention his smell. Oh god his smell, Nagi alway thought Reo smelled good, his flowery scent carries a tinge of something fruity—similar to strawberries, an indicator of his fertile state.
He sighs, “forget it,”
Then proceed to walk to his bedroom, leaving Nagi at a loss of what to do or how to act. His head is spinning because Reo is in heat.
He’s in heat and they’re about to convince a baby.
He takes a couple of deep breaths to calm down his nerves, and wipes his sweaty palms on his pants before following Reo to his bedroom.
“Come here”
He obeys the purple haired command, taking tentative steps toward his large bed where his nest of blankets and plushies and some familiar articles of clothing that Nagi remembers belonging in his closet lie. He stands before him, Reo is sprawled sideways in the middle of the bed, clutching a bonobono plushie tightly to his chest, he raises his head when he senses Nagi’s presence and holds a hand out to him which Nagi is more than happy to hold. He pulls him to the bed and immediately covers the both of them with a blanket, he settles with his head buried in the crock of Nagi’s neck, inhaling his masculine scent and humming in satisfaction.
Nagi stays still like a statue until Reo’s breath eventually evens out and he falls asleep.
Not the scenarios he expected to be faced with when he came here, but he’s not complaining, he lets his shoulders relax and wraps an arm around Reo’s waist to pull him closer to his side, the other is mumbling quietly in his sleep which Nagi finds so endearing, he begins to feel his eyelids getting heavier and he lets out a content sigh, Reo’s weight is so comfortable and grounding against him, like a weighted blanket.
Reo’s flowery scent follows him even in his dreams.
—
It’s still dark outside when Nagi eventually wakes up.
The first thing that he registers is the sound of harsh breathing, the second thing is just how hot it is.
He throws the cover off himself, as he opens his eyes slowly, he takes notice of the shaking body still pressed against his side, he reaches for him, placing a hand on his burning back.
“Are you okay, Reo?”
“Mmm”, the purple haired only whine in pain.
He breathes out, “Just tell me what to do Reo”
Reo turns to face him, his eyes open slowly to gaze up at Nagi, there are tears clinging to his eyelashes—and he looks so miserable that Nagi is starting to worry.
“Reo, talk to me, please”
“Nagi…”, he reaches for his hand and squeezes painfully, “I need you”
“You have me”, he utters softly as he brushes Reo’s bangs out of his face.
The other moans at the contacts and scoots even closer to him, throwing a leg over his hip and lying partially over him.
“It hurt Nagi”, he pants, “help me ”
The purple haired began to desperately tug at his clothing as he rubs his front against Nagi’s hip. Nagi can feel the wetness of Reo’s pussy as he starts rubbing on him even through their layers of clothing.
Alright you can do this.
He takes Reo’s wandering hands off him, and shushes the other gently as he begins to complain. He sits up, mindful of the body laying atop his own and strips out of his shirt, he tries to push Reo a little so he can tug his pants off but the other quickly reclaims his earlier position on Nagi’s lap.
Reo’s hands begin to feel up his chest, nimble fingers caressing the flushed and toned skin of his abdomen, dangerously creeping closer to his crotch. Nagi lets him do as he pleases, Reo seems satisfied and oddly content as he keeps touching and feeling every inch of Nagi’s exposed chest.
“ So big, and strong, you’re the perfect Alpha for me”
Nagi doesn’t know if Reo is aware of the effects he has on him, his words go straight to Nagi’s dick, and he feels his dick getting harder the more Reo touches him. Any minute now and he might just explode.
“Reo”,
Reo’s warm tongue comes to feel the side of his face, his hand slowly pulling the waistband of his shorts, and at the first contact of Reo’s fingers with his dick—Nagi fucking loses it.
He pushes Reo of him, making him lay flat on his back as he straddles his hips, his hard dick pressing against his front, and they both moan at the sudden contact, Reo raises his hands to reach for Nagi, and the other has let him wait enough, so he leans over him and assaults these soft lips with his own. Forcing him into an open mouthed kiss as he simultaneously rocks his hips to get more of that satisfying friction.
“Please…”, he pants into his mouth
So Nagi finally puts him out of his misery by reaching for his briefs and pulling them down, he lets his hand slowly trail the soft skin of Reo’s thigh, he separates from his mouth in order to worship those plumb thighs more properly, he scoots in his stomach and guides Reo’s leg to rest on his shoulders as he begins to lay open mouthed kisses on the underside of his knee, he licks and nibbles at the skin of his thigh until it turns red and purplish—Reo hand comes to tug harshly at his hair and he let him, god knows the purple haired would need to hold into something as Nagi continues to mark his milky skin all sort of colours.
He run the tip of his nose on the inner side of Reo’s thigh, closing his eyes as his nose get filled with Reo’s delicious aroma, he taste the slick that’s gushing out of Reo’s pussy with the tip of his tongue, he hums in approval at the delicious taste and proceed to goes to the main source of that divine juice. Reo gasps above him as his tongue reaches into his hole, slowly inserting itself inside him and getting enveloped in his warmth. Nagi pushes his tongue inside Reo’s pussy, opening him up and feeling his walls pulse and throbs against his tongue. His hand came to separate Reo’s fold, opening him up more so Nagi could get a better grip. Reo cries reaches his ears as he begins to ruthlessly thrust his tongue as deep as it could get inside Reo’s pussy, his thighs clench and they trap Nagi's head quite painfully as he gets closer to his release.
The purple haired is reduced to a blabbering and pathetic mess, desperate chants of Nagi’s name leaving his open mouth in a sinful manner that would make any religious person frown in disapproval, more of his slick continues to gush out of his pussy, wetting Nagi’s lips and making a mess out of his face.
“Close”, he whines
Nagi hums, and thrusts his tongue deeper, making sure that every corner of Reo’s inside is marked by him. He lets his fingers rub Reo’s sensitive clit, guiding him through his release as the purple haired body finally reaches its limits. Nagi swallows every last bit of Reo’s slick, and doesn’t let his mouth separate from his pussy until the latter pushes him himself. He raises on his elbows to gaze at Reo, smiling softly at the other’s blessed out expression, he lets his tongue run at his bottom lips, his face is a total mess at this point, but he doesn’t even bother to wipe it out, if it’s up to him he’d like to wear Reo’s cum on his face for all to see like a badge of honour.
“Give me a minute”
Nagi nod, and lets his body lay beside Reo, his dick is still hard as a rock inside his pants, but he dares not touch it, it will be worth the wait , he reminds himself.
Reo has closed his eyes and his breathing seems to even out, Nagi is starting to think that he’s fallen asleep again when the latter suddenly opens his eyes and literally jumps on top of him.
“I’m ready, put it on”
“Wait—are you sure?”
“Yes!”
Reo leans down enthusiastically, parting his lips and inserting his tongue inside Nagi’s mouth, Nagi moans as Reo licks up the roof of his mouth, all while tugging his shorts down and taking his hard dick into his hand. Nagi gasps and buckles his hips, thrusting into Reo’s sweaty and warm hand, he places his hand on the back of his head, pulling at his purple silky stands as the other continues to work him on.
“S-Stop, I’m close”
Reo grins like he just won the lottery and grinds his hips down on Nagi’s crotch—and Nagi quite literally whimpers , because Reo’s pussy is dripping buckets of slick into his hard dick, making the slide easier and more enjoyable, and Nagi want to grind more into him and push him away at the same time, this inner conflict is making his head spine and he’s starting to see starts. His muscles straining as he continues to thrust into Reo’s, his arms holding his sides and squeezing , he’s afraid Reo’s skin would melt beneath his fingers because god he’s burning from the inside out, his breathing coming out in short gasps as his dick continue to slide against Reo’s wet entrance.
“Why did you stop”, the little incubus whines.
“I don’t wanna cum unless it’s inside you”, he breathes out.
“Then get in inside”
And who’s he to say no to Reo?
He places his hands on either side of Reo’s hips and raises him a little so that he hovers just above his dick, with steady movements he lowers him slowly, biting his lips hard and breathing slowly through his nose so as to not immediately ram into him like a beast, Reo’s slick made the slide easier, and he’s halfway on his dick when Nagi looks up to him to see if he’s doing okay when Reo suddenly sinks into his dick in one go.
Nagi throws his head back, feeling dizzy at the amount of pleasure that’s overtaking him at the moment.
“Move”, Reo pants as he rocks his hips desperately.
So Nagi does, he starts with one powerful thrust that makes Reo jump and scramble to hold into him as to not fall off, he yelps loudly as he follows with another thrust and another , Reo pouncing on top of him like a wild bunny, tongue hanging out and drool wetting his chin and falling on Nagi’s bare chest, Nagi reaches his hand to holds into Reo’s bottom, squeezing the soft flesh of his ass cheeks and spreading it apart, he lowers his gaze and watches in fascination as Reo’s pussy swallow his dick so perfectly— he entertains the thought that they were made for each other for a moment.
His movements are becoming more powerful, the rocking of the bed and the wet and lewd sounds of skin slapping against skin are so loud and clear in his ears, if an earthquake ever occurs he doubts he’d be able to hear it over all the noises they’re making.
“Ah—give it to me, I want your c-cum, all of it”, he whines, his eyes rolling to the back of his head.
Nagi continues to ram up into him, hitting his inside in a repetitive motion, his hand moves from his bottom to his lower back, tracing his spine and making him shiver at the feather light touch, his knot is just starting to form and swell, and he thinks he’s really close, just a bit more—
“Give me a baby dammit!” , the purple haired screech.
Nagi is so taken by his loud and bold declaration and the sheer volume of his voice that he doesn’t even notice when the first string of cum starts spilling inside Reo’s pussy. He gasps and buries himself deeper, feeling Reo’s walls closing around him and welcoming his seeds all so greedly.
Reo sighs in content, his body relaxing completely and going limp above Nagi when he gets what he wants and he reaches his release, their fluid mixing inside him but nothing of it ever spills out. Nagi’s knot keeps everything intact and making sure the seed is planted in his womb.
Nagi feels his dicks twitch inside Reo as he thinks of Reo all swollen and bloated as he carries his pups all so lovingly inside him.
He let his hand thread through Reo’s hair as the other snuggle against him, burying his head in the crock of his neck and inhaling deeply.
“Sleep well”, he mutters before kissing the side of his head, the other only hums in response, already dead to the world.
—-
Nagi is peacefully minding his own business on the bathroom, and actually having a real shower instead of just dunking himself in the bathtub and calling it a day—when the door to the bathroom suddenly slams open and a weird object get thrown into his face, there’s still shampoo in his hair and some of it get in his eyes as he tries to defend himself against his unknown attacker, never in his life he thought he would go down naked, he knows it was a possibility, but he didn’t think it would happen to him of all people, he should’ve seen it coming though, he can imagine the headlines his death would make already ; Famous striker dies while butt naked on his bathroom, a true tragedy to the sport world.
“I’m pregnant!”, his attacker screams at him while throwing himself at him to deal the finishing blow.
Reo is three weeks pregnant, he learns later, after calming down and convincing himself that no, he wasn’t attracted by a bugler, or a serial killer on the run. Instead, it was his overly excited partner who couldn’t wait for him until he got out of the bathroom to announce the news to him.
Jesus Reo, I could’ve died, don’t ever do that again!
You’re not gonna die, as the father of my baby you’re protected by the divine.
What?
I’m gonna give birth to an angel!
Thus, Reo pregnancy journey begins.
—
The first Thirteen weeks are by far the worst days of Nagi’s entire life.
He’s really happy and excited because his partner is pregnant with his child and he’s going to be a father soon—it should’ve been the best time for the two of them, they should be making memories and celebrating and picking up babies names and just basking in the whole pregnancy glow.
But unfortunately that’s not the case, because Reo has vomited on every single piece of furniture he owns.
His apartment stank, his clothes stank, his bathroom sink stank, his carpets are all rolled up, half his closet is in the trash and stank of vomit.
He’s not complaining because he’s bothered by the smell or the sight of vomit or because Reo keeps waking him up in the middle of the night, or because whenever they’re out for dinner or lunch or with their friends Reo would suddenly disappear to the bathroom. No, even if he’s a little bothered and dare say traumatised— to the point where he developed a sixth sense for vomit so that whenever Reo coughs or starts feeling a little nauseous he’d be running to the rescue with a paper bag in his hands.
He’s worried because Reo has lost so much weight.
The doctor says that it's normal and very common for pregnant Omegas to lose weight during the first few weeks of their pregnancy due to morning sickness. He knows it’s true, the doctor had already confirmed that Reo and their baby are healthy and well, that’s there’s no danger to their lives—but Nagi can’t help but feel worried, Reo can barely stomach anything these days, his face has lost its usual glow and he keeps complaining of dizziness and everything seems to upset him, hell he even complained about Nagi’s smell to the point that he started having daily showers, but even then, Reo would still complain that the apartment doesn’t smell right and when they move on to his place the other would just fuss around with a frown on his face saying he feels uncomfortable and he’d like to go back to Nagi’s own place. They had moved so much between their apartments that Nagi just started leaving some of his stuff at Reo’s.
On the plus side though, Reo is slowly approaching his second trimester! If all these books and videos are to be trusted, then it means that Reo should start feeling better soon, and that they should be able to finally hear their baby’s heartbeat! Just thinking about it makes Nagi giddy, Reo's next appointment couldn’t come any sooner!
—
“Unfortunately, I can’t tell if they’re a boy or a girl, because of their position”
“Can’t you just….look closer?”
“That’s not how this works Mr. Mikage”
He opens and closes his mouth—ready to correct her assumption, but gives up halfway, it’s not so uncommon these days that people will mistake him for Reo’s partner, well legal partner to be more specific.
“It’s okay, it can be a surprise to us, that’ll be fun!”, the ever optimistic purple haired says as he wipes up the gel from his tummy.
“How are we gonna decorate the nursery?”
“Let’s stick with neutrals for now”
He nods, opening the door for his partner before waving to the doctor and promising her that he will make sure Reo takes all his supplements and does not overwork himself.
After entering his second trimester Reo started going back to work at the Mikage’s corporation, claiming that the bed rest was driving him insane. Nagi of course tried to voice his objections, but Reo only had to look at him with his big teary eyes once for him to give up—if it’s making Reo feel better, then who’s he to complain?
On the brighter side, Reo is slowly gaining all the weight he had lost in the first few weeks of his pregnancy, he even has a small-barely-noticeable bump!. Oddly enough, Reo had absolutely refused to buy any maternity clothes, and instead opted to steal Nagi’s oversized shirts and hoodies, which of course count as a win for him.
“Are you hungry? I’m craving something greasy”
“Sure, do you have someplace in mind?”
“Let’s head out to that burger place we saw on our way”
Another thing that Nagi has noticed lately is that, whenever the two of them are out, people tend to prioritise Reo—this of course is nothing new given his status and natural charisma, but it has increased significantly since he got pregnant and started showing.
“You can go ahead, sir!”
“Ah—there’s no need”
“No, please, I insist”
“Thank you”, he says softly, smiling at the old lady and her daughter who insisted that they order before them.
It’s not particularly a bad thing, Reo is always bashful and insists that he is fine whenever that happens, but he seems to accept it as times goes on.
“Are you gonna finish that?”, he says around the mouthful of fries in his mouth.
“No, you can have it”, he replies, pushing his half finished plate toward his partner.
Oh, and Reo has finally gotten his appetite back.
—
He would be lying if he said he was ready for Reo’s weird cravings.
Because research can only take you so far—Nagi had learned recently. He heard so many stories of pregnant people having some wild cravings such as chalk or sand or some specific type of chocolate that can only be found in a small village in Switzerland. It’s their body's way of sustaining all the nutrients they’re losing in order to grow their babies.
Pregnancy is a huge deal , it’s something akin to a miracle how someone can just grow a whole human in their body like it’s nothing. Again he’s awestruck by the sheer strength of his partner to go through such a tiresome and long journey that is seemingly never ending in order to give him the greatest gift anyone can ever ask for.
Nagi had seen first hand the way Reo had handled all the nausea and fatigue and all these other painful symptoms with a smile on his face, because just as he said—it would be worth it for their baby.
And if Reo asks him to bake him some homemade banana bread—then sign him the fuck up for that baking class, because that would be the bare minimum.
“Make sure to mix your dry ingredients and wet ingredients in different bowls!”, clapped the instructor as she walked between all their stations.
“You’re doing so well Nagi-San! Your baking skills had improved so much since last time”
He nods, feeling his chest warm with pride as he watches the results of his hard work pay off.
“Mrs. Reia, I need your help here!”
“Coming right up!”, she turns to him, “let the mixture rest a little before adding it together, preheat the oven to 350 degrees as you wait!”
After a few minutes, he adds the mixture together and pours it into a muffin tin that was prepared beforehand. He opens the oven and places the pan inside, while the muffins take their time to bake, he turns to tidy up his station and store all the used ingredients away.
“Need any help, Nagi-San?”
“Nah, I’m almost done”
She ignores his complaint as she begins to gather the dirty dishes and place them in the sink, he hurries after her insisting that he can take it from here and she should go back to helping the other participants who aren’t as naturally inclined as him— her words not him.
“Oh please let me, I already did my part, if they keep relaying on my instructions alone then they’re be going nowhere”
Nagi observes as she angrily scrubs the plate with so much force he’s afraid she’s gonna break it, her neutral scent getting thicker by the second, signalling her clear irritation.
He clears his throat, carefully rinsing the plates and putting them to the side to dry, “that bad huh?”
She turns to him suddenly, wide eyed as she scrambles to explain herself, “No! God no, I love my job and this class has been a pleasure to teach—especially you Nagi-San!”, she mutters sheepishly, “u-uh it’s just that I’ve had lots to deal with regarding my personal life, don’t worry about it”
She waves him off dismissively and turns to help the other participants, it’s not like it’s any of his business anyway.
He places the last pot to dry to the side and turns to check on his muffins, they seem done so he turns off the oven and grabs a kitchen glove to get them out, once he does, the sweet smell of blueberries and warm pastries fills the place, making his mouth water and stomach grumbles, he’s really getting the hang of this.
“Woah, that smells so good!”
“As expected of Nagi-San”
“Can I have a bite pretty please?”
“Teach me your secrets! Mine turned out so horribly!”
“Jeez let the guy breathe, if you paid attention to me instead of gossiping between yourselves, yours would have tuned the same, now back to your stations!”
“ Yes ma’am!”
“You should pack these up quickly since they’re distracted”, she winks at him as she grabs a muffin from his pan and takes a huge bite of it, “Mm these taste heavenly”, she moans, “Maybe we should hire you”
“I appreciate the statement, but no thanks”
“Well, if you change your mind let me know”
Later on, when he goes back home with a plate full of blueberry muffins Reo echoes those same words to him,
“Maybe you should quit football and become a chef instead”
“Already giving up on the World Cup?”
“ Oh I wouldn’t dare”
He chuckles as he watches Reo stuff his face with the muffins, closing his eyes and humming in satisfaction while he savours the sweet taste.
“What are you guys baking next week?”
“Brownies, probably”
“Ohh I can’t wait”
If Reo seriously wanted him to give up on their long-shared-dream, he would do it in a heartbeat, without any regrets—if it means he could watch him eat and enjoy himself like this.
It’ll be worth it.
—
They host the baby shower once Reo hits the twentieth week of his pregnancy.
“These are so cute! Thank you Chi!”, He sobs as he clutches the matching Manshine City shirts in his hand, how did he get a shirt that small is beyond Nagi, but he has learned by now to never question Chigiri or his ways, so instead he thank him and watches as his partner hug his friend in a bear-crushing hug.
Another thing he noticed with Reo’s pregnancy is just how touchy and clingy he has become. And it’s not just limited to him, but also all their friends. For instance, he cried for three hours just the other day because Isagi had left their house too soon—he hadn’t calmed down until they dragged the poor guy right back and made him spend the night, ditching all his other arrangements in order to please Reo.
And Nagi gets it, he understands Reo's needs and is always ready to meet them, he just doesn’t understand why it has to involve everybody else.
“My partner was the same you know”
“Sorry?”
“Clingy with everyone I mean”, the other male rolls his eyes and pats him on the back sympathetically, “it’s their maternal instinct going haywire, don’t worry about it dude”
“ Ashai, come get your spawns or I swear to god!”
“ Coming!”, He shouts before offering him a pitying smile and running to where a petite blond omega is carrying two screaming children in her arms, he takes both of them in his arms, tickling them and making silly faces to hear their giggles, all while his partner smiles fondly at the scene.
That’s the guy who got eliminated early on team Z, he seems to be doing well for himself.
He feels his face heat as he envisions the same scenery with him and Reo.
Don’t get too ahead of yourself
“Nagi! Time to cut the cake”
He smiles as he walks to his partner who looks so radiant in his lavender sundress, Reo has taken to finally wearing maternity clothes as neither of their clothing fits him anymore.
He gets down on his knees once he reaches him, placing a hand to feel and caress his baby’s bump before leaning in to leave a small kiss on it.
The purple haired giggle, “what was that for?”
“Just felt like it”
It’s okay to hope a little, right?

Reo's relationship with his parents has improved significantly over the years. However, it’s still far from perfect.
They’re not seventeen anymore and Reo is a full grown adult who has his own place and own job and doesn’t need to rely on daddy’s money anymore—that still hasn’t stopped him from seeking his approval though.
When confronted, Reo refused to say anything on the matter, but when he woke up to Reo spacing out in the living room with a sullen face after he said he’d spend the night at his parents house, and that he was gonna finally tell them about the pregnancy—well, he pretty much got his answer.
So it comes as a surprise to him when Reo suddenly brings up the topic of his own violation .
“Why now of all times?”
“Well…..”, the purple haired says as he fidgets on his seat, “my mom has been pressing me for a visit for a while, if I let her have dinner with us once then she’ll leave me alone”
He raises his eyebrows, Reo’s behaviour is truly suspicious, but he doesn’t have the heart to call him out on it so he only nods at him and tells him to inform them that they are welcome anytime.
“Oh, Reo my dear baby, I’ve missed you so much!”, says Reo’s mother as she smothers her son in a bone crushing hug.
“It’s good to see you too, mom”
“Please come in”, he let the pair of mother and son hug it out on the doorway as he steps back to the living room, not before nodding politely at both parents.
Reo’s parents had first been wary about the nature of their relationship, an Alpha and Omega claiming they’re just friends after so many years is almost never heard of. Nagi can’t blame them, because he has been pining over his best friend since they were teenagers, but he never intended to take advantage of him or force his feelings on him. Not to mention, that Nagi is apparently not up to their standards, be it because of his background or his family or it’s just because of his personality and laid back attitude. But their dislike of him is part of the reason why he worked so hard over the years—to show them that he’s someone who is worthy of standing beside their son.
Reo telling them he’s pregnant with his child must’ve been their last straw.
But they should know better than to expect him to just give up on Reo, he intends to be there for him and their unborn child no matter what.
“Nice place you got”
“Thank you! I decorated it myself, Sei is helpless when it comes to interior design”
He laughs sheepishly, and gulps as he sees Reo’s parents examining every corner of his place with a judgmental eye.
He never dreaded a meal more in his life.
“So! When are you going to propose?”, says Reo’s mother as she slowly cuts a piece off her steak, not even sparing a glance to witness the effect of the bombshell she just dropped.
Nagi is trying very hard not to choke and makes a fool of himself, because Reo’s parents are watching his every movement.
“Mom! We talked about this”
“Have we?”, she tilts her head innocently, “I must’ve forgotten then”
The purple haired huff before saying sharply, “You always do this! Pretending to not know anything when I confront you when we both know damn well you’ve been monitoring my life!”
The older woman slams her fork on the table, “Are you implying that I’m stalking you!”
He chuckles, “Oh I’m not implying anything, it’s exactly what you’re doing”
“How dare—“
“Reo, Watch your tone!”
Both still as Reo’s father finally joins the conversation, all sharp tones and pointed words, he’s been weirdly silent since they had arrived, but Nagi should know that it was not a good sign.
“Is it not enough we let you entertain that absurd career of yours, you had to go and get pregnant before getting married like a goddamn whore—“
“That’s enough,” he stands abruptly, “I’m not letting you insult Reo in my place”
“Sei—“
“So you’re kicking me out?”
“If you keep disrespecting Reo then yes”
“Ahahah, I think everyone needs to calm down for a bit, yeah? Reo why don’t you bring up the dessert?”
Mr. Mikage finally stands from his seat, face flushed as he faces Nagi, “You clearly have forgotten your place, young man, dare I remind you that I can destroy your career with just the—“
“Ahh”
“Reo, what’s wrong?”, he hurries to his partner's side who’s clutching his stomach with a startled look on his face.
“Are you okay honey? What’s wrong? Should we call a doctor? Oh what shall I do”
“Reo please say something”
But the purple haired only turns to him with teary eyes and reaches for his hand, he slowly lets their joined hands rest on his tummy, and after a beat Nagi finally feels it.
A kick.
“Is that?”
Reo nods at him, his smile growing on his face, happy to feel the presence of their baby.
“Reo?”
“Mom“, he breathes out, reaching for her hand and letting it rest alongside Nagi’s on his tummy.
They feel it again, another kick, stronger this time.
“Oh dear”, his mother sobs as she hugs her son, rocking the both of them and giggling uncontrollably.
After his mother lets go, he turns to his still standing father, “do you want to?”
Mr. Mikage blinks in surprise, clearly not expecting to be included, he clears his throat and answers hesitantly, “Can I?”
Reo only nods, “Sure”
So he takes tentative steps toward them, raising his hand slowly and placing it on Reo’s tummy, Reo places his hand on his father and moves it to where the baby’s kicks are still going strong.
“That’s a one active baby”
Reo hums, his smile only keeps growing as he rubs his tummy lovingly.
Later on, when his parents leave and they’re left to tidy up the place, the latter suddenly stops his movements and turns to Nagi, “The dessert!”
“Huh?”
“The baby started kicking when my mom mentioned the dessert”
“Reo, you can’t possibly believe—“
“Let’s have it”
And when they sat down to enjoy their serving of the leftover chocolate cake later, Reo felt his baby kick again.
“See! She loves it”
He hums, “I’ll tell Reika-San to teach us a good recipe next time”
“Oh yeah, I bet yours would taste better”

Reo’s increased clinginess means that Nagi does not go a single night without Reo’s body lying beside his own when they sleep at night. So when he wakes up in the middle of the night to the sight of the other side of his bed empty—he feels alarmed.
He gets up quickly, blinking his eyes to slowly wakes himself up and heads out off the bedroom in search of his partner, he notices the bathroom lights on and the door is slightly open, the other probably woke up to go to the bathroom to pee, Reo’s frequent visits to the bathroom at night isn’t something unusual nowadays, so he turns to walk back to his bedroom— but something isn’t quite right, he can’t explain it but his gut is telling him to go check on Reo, just in case.
So that's what he does, it’s probably nothing and he’s overreacting, but still, he’d like to be safe than sorry.
“Reo? Everything okay?”
But the other does not answer him, he does not move from his position in front of the sink.
He gets closer to him, placing a hand on his shoulder to shake him slightly, “Reo?”
The purple haired inhale sharply and turns to him, his voice wavering as he says,” I’m gonna tell you something, but please don’t freak out”
He gulps, he can feel his heart pounding in his chest, “what is it? Are you okay? Is the baby okay?”
“Sei, promise me not to freak out ”
“Dammit! Reo you’re scaring me, I promise I won’t, just tell me”
A pause, then, “My water broke”
With that statement alone, all hell broke loose.
After convening Reo that, no, he wasn’t freaking out. And yes, he’s completely fine and can drive them to the hospital safely—they quickly pack some change of clothes into a spare bag, along with some necessity, and head to the hospital, Nagi must’ve broken at least three red lights on his way, but he can’t even have it in himself to care about anything that, because Reo is going into labour.
Once they arrived, they made Reo change his clothes and escorted him to the delivery room. Saying that since his water broke, he could give birth any moment now.
It took nearly six hours of labour before their daughter was born, after the fourth hour, Nagi had just taken to watching the whole thing from the ground, seeing Reo in so much pain, crying and screaming and clawing at the bedsheets had made his knees weak, and before he knew it, he was passed out in the ground.
Hearing his daughter scream for the first time—seeing her cradled in Reo’s arm as the latter feeds her while cooing at her cute little face, Nagi couldn’t be any happier.
Mikage Hayami was born on the third of April, and as her name implies, she’s the most beautiful girl Nagi has ever seen
