Chapter Text
"No, I thought you were going to stay home with him--"
Jack huffed and gently moved a sleeping Dennis off of his bare chest. Dennis let out a soft grunt and curled his body into Robby's pillow, dozing back to sleep instantly.
Robby was supposed to have gotten the groceries, but instead of doing the shopping yesterday, he had spent the day cuddling and nuzzling Dennis on the couch and educating him on "classic" movies while the omega slowly got more pre-heat symptoms.
It was a rare morning in which all three of them were off work. They had planned a nice cozy day to spoil each other with some much needed quality time. Jack had even planned a 3 course dinner with a *special* dessert, but Robby hadn't seen the list he left on the fridge under the avocado magnet until Dennis was too far along in pre-heat and begged him to stay home.
Robby had just finished showering and getting ready for the day. He planned to stop by the hospital to sign some paperwork and quietly try to sneak in some extra charting that he didn't have time to finish during his last shift. He promised Jack that it would only be an hour tops, but both men knew that it would probably be double or triple that.
Jack knew that all they currently had left in their fridge were some wrinkled blueberries, a week-old box of leftover pizza, and a stale carton of milk. He desperately needed to go shopping--especially if he wanted to make tonight special for his boys. This meant neither alpha would be home to care for their pre-heat omega for a few hours.
"Heyy- shhh I know baby, it's time to get up" Jack cooed as he ran a hand over Whitaker's bare shoulders, trying to gently wake the boy up. The omega's bed head was gloriously sticking up in all directions after having spent the night as a cock warmer for both his alphas.
"Nngggh what time issit?" Slurred Dennis, wiping the drool that was on the corner of his mouth.
"Time for you to take a shower, pup" said Robby briskly. He bent over the side of the bed and kissed Dennis on the forehead before grabbing his bag and slowly backing out of their room. He wanted to make a quick exit before Whitaker was conscious enough to give him the irrefutable puppy dog eyes that were surely coming. Robby made eye contact with Jack, giving a quick double thumbs up and a shit-eating grin. Jack just rolled his eyes at the man, knowing that he was now going to get the full brunt of sad and mopey Whitaker.
"Let's get you cleaned up kid" Jack sighed and carried Dennis bridal-style into their large bathroom.
--------------------
"We'll both be back before you know it, kiddo" Jack said as he tried to console his omega. He rubbed his thumb in circles on the nape of Whitaker's neck, just slightly brushing his fingers against his scent gland, making the boy shiver. It wasn't safe for Dennis to go out in public, not with the sweet aroma of honeysuckle and huckleberries that was surrounding him and gradually becoming stronger. Any alpha would instantly clock his heat scent and come trailing for a taste of Whitaker's slick.
"But I'm gonna start nesting soon" Dennis whined into Jack's neck, not-so-subtly trying to inhale as much of the alpha's pheromones as he could. Jack smelled like fresh rain and eucalyptus--from the body wash he had just lathered over the both of them in the shower.
Disappointed that he couldn't get a strong enough scent of Jack's musk, Dennis trailed his nose further down Jack's chest, trying to follow the happy trail down . . . down . . . down---
"Ah-Ah, I need to go Den. You can start making your nest and present it to us when we get back, okay? Daddy got you all the supplies you might want, they're in the closet for you."
Jack gave Dennis a quick peck on the lips before extracting his limbs from his omega's needy grasp and standing up. He grabbed the shopping list off of the fridge and after a quick perimeter check of the house, he walked out the door.
----------------
Having lived on the streets for a period of time, Dennis hadn't been able to go through a normal heat cycle since he was in med school. Either from pure fear--or the pills he guzzled down his throat the moment he felt any signs of heat--he had evaded his heat cycles for nearly 2 years.
Dennis watched as his alpha did a sweep of the house before leaving. Jack's military training had become second nature, and Dennis found it endearing how concerned he was for their safety at all times. As he watched his alpha leave, he bit his knuckle to stop the guttural whine that almost escaped his mouth the moment the door clicked shut. He needed to be brave. He needed to be better for his alphas.
Dennis feared that he had done permanent damage from all the heat blockers and that his cycles might never return, but he refused to linger on those thoughts for long. Especially now that he was being courted by not one but TWO alphas. Two very, very attractive alphas who happened to be doctors, who just so happened to be his senior attendings. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he knew that they had already picked up on his lack of cycles, and were occasionally doing examinations on him under the guise of oral sex.
When all of his brothers presented as alphas, his father was so proud. Naturally, the whole family expected Dennis to at least be a beta, but when the slit started to tear in his perineum just below his balls, his dad brought out the belt. It was shameful to have an omega for a son, and back in Broken Bow, male omegas were so few and far between that they were perceived as sinful.
Dennis had internalized a lot of these accusations, much to the chagrin of Jack and Robby. They took it as their sworn duty to make sure he felt cherished and loved as an omega, after spending the first part of his life in shame for what he was.
Dennis didn't want to face the facts yet about his cycles disappearing, so he made up his mind not to mention it unless one of his alphas demanded answers. He didn't want to let them down by having a dysfunctional body, so when he first felt the wave of pre-heat hit him, he nearly cried with joy.
How he ever got so lucky, he'll never know, but he's certain he'll never stop thanking the stars for bringing these men into his life. He finally felt safe and supported, so he threw out the heat blocker pills a few months ago when he moved in with his alphas. Dennis never thought he'd see the day when he was actually happy to have a heat cycle.
------------------
As Jack got in his truck and drove away, Dennis started to panic slightly. He needed to seek out some comfort. He needed his nest. Now.
Dennis dashed up the stairs and went into their joint bedroom. The house was big enough that they each had their own rooms, but none of them spent much time in them. The other rooms were essentially glorified storage closets for miscellaneous junk from each of the men. The master bedroom was where all their scents combined and lingered into a beautiful melody of musk. It was so comforting that all of them generally slept in there, especially when their shifts didn't line up and they were missing each other.
Scrambling to the large walk-in closet, Dennis found the bin of supplies Jack had mentioned. He sorted through the box, organizing some of the items on the floor in front of him. Jack had spared no expense and had gotten the boy an assortment of blankets, snacks, cozy pajamas, pillows, and more.
While he sat on the floor, fantasizing about building the most perfect nest to show his alphas, Dennis got a whiff of the most amazing scents. Following his nose, he found the scents to be coming from the hamper containing their dirty clothes.
Nuzzling through the basket, he pulled out one of Jack's sweaty SWAT shirts, still drenched in the smell of his masculine pheromones. Digging even further into the laundry basket, he found a few pairs of Robby and Jack's boxers. The pure musk rolling off of the clothes sent wet hot slick dripping from his cunt and made his cock twitch.
Giddy with his newly found treasures, Dennis went to work on building his nest.
