Chapter Text

Hua Yong follows Gao Tu around. Listening to the sage scented and pregnant omega  explain what to him. What his new duties as his friend Wenlang's new main secretary would be. He feels irritated at Wenlang for how much he has taken advantage of the omega who adored him all these years, and had finally chosen to put all his love in someone new. The baby, Wenlang's baby, that is now growing in his stomach.

He has to keep his pheromones in check and his eyes from flashing red. As he feels the pull of mate seeking syndrome, of possessive claiming to make Gao Tu his omega, and the only omega he would let his alpha Shaoyou touch. As he listens to him. Stepping closer and making himself seem more fragile to the omega to not scare him away from him as he pretends to be overwhelmed by everything he'll have to do now as he takes over Gao Tu's post when he finishes resigning in three weeks.

He thought he wouldn't feel these feelings for anyone but his exclusive orange and rum scented exclusive omega. And he had only been joking with Wenlang when he said he could have any alpha or omega he wanted. But it seems he wasn't joking and he would have the alpha he wanted Shaoyou, and the omega he wanted for them both, Gao Tu.

“It's okay Mr. Hua. You'll get the hang of everything before I leave. I won't leave you overwhelmed.” Gao Tu tells Hua Yong, the omega he believes will be taking his place by his former first loves side in multiple ways after he leaves HS.

“You really won't leave me?” Hua Yong asks his sage scented omega as he shamelessly clings to his arm. Blinking at him with pleading eyes as he leaves out that he isn't referring to Gao Tu only not leaving him because of work.

“I won't leave you, I promise.” Gao Tu answers with a half smile. He touches Hua Yong's hand to remove it from his arm, but stops and lets his hand linger as he smells his orchid pheromones and feels the tightness in his stomach from his pregnancy symptoms ease up.

Hua Yong grins mentally and smiles genuinely but with fake shyness as he and Gao Tu keep in hand to hand contact. He smells the food before his omega reacts to the food with a gagging cough. “Excuse me. Mr. Hua.” Gao Tu says as he dashes off to the nearest bathroom feeling like he is going to vomit from the food his coworker bought into the office.

“I'll make you feel better, my TuTu.” Hua Yong answers as he strides like the enigma he is after his second mate as he smiles at his hand that was touched by Gao Tu's.

Gao Tu is by the bathroom sink when Hua Yong enters the bathroom. “Are you okay Gao Tu?” Hua Yong asks. Knowing the answer but uses the question as an excuse to get closer to his omega.

As he releases targeted soothing pheromones while reaching out and caressing up his back. He hides his red eyes and the power claim of mine in them as Gao Tu looks at him exhaustedly and in need of all the love and care he and Shaoyou will give him and his baby using the mirror.

“I'm..” Gao Tu starts to say, but he doesn't finish his lie of, he is fine. When he gets hugged by Hua Yong's pheromones and then Hua Yong himself.

“You're not okay.” Hua Yong growls as he clings to his omega. “You need me and Shaoyou. And I want you and your baby for us.”  He adds in his head as Gao Tu tenses and relaxes in his arms. 

Gao Tu embraces Hua Yong. Feeling safe and better than he has for a long time. As well as seen. Something he only has with his little sister. His eyes close as his stomach calms and he swears he hears a lullaby being kissed into his ear as he is held tighter.

“Did you have a good nap?” He is asked in a sweet, almost smug voice. When he opens his eyes again, he looks at his watch while staying in Hua Yong's arms. And sees a half hour has passed.

“Mr…H”

“Hua Yong or A-Yong please, Gao Tu. Not Mr. Or Secretary Hua. It makes me feel old.” Hua Yong poutingly commands as he lets Gao Tu move away from his chest.

“Hua Yong, did you hold me the entire time I fell asleep on my feet?” Gao Tu asks in part because he feels drawn to make the omega who looked after him stop pouting and for confirmation that he really did sleep for a half hour.

“Uh-huh.” Hua Yong answers cutely with a little nod as he smiles warmly at Gao Tu. Feeling very happy about being called by his name by his second mate.

“Oh…well thank you for that. That must have been tiring.” Gao Tu says as he pushes his glasses back in place to hide his embarrassment being a burden.

“Not at all. You were very light and I enjoyed holding you, Gao Tu.” Hua Yong replies. His lips ghosting over Gao Tu's hand as he lowers it away from his face. Gao Tu blushes, and his eyes widen with surprise at how close Hua Yong's face is to his face.

“Um.. sorry.. you just looked really handsome and cute. All embarrassed from sleeping in my arms.” Hua Yong says as he fakes giving up ground in his pursuit of his and Shaoyou’s omega as he pushes himself to blush and let Gao Tu go. 

He hums as he smells his scent on him, and smiles as he day dreams of his exclusive omega's scent joining his on their omega. A dream he can fulfill tonight when he goes to Gao Tu's home with him.

While Hua Yong dreams. Gao Tu swings from feeling grateful and feeling embarrassed about feeling so at home in Hua Yong's arms. They leave the bathroom together and Hua Yong is Gao Tu's clingy, shameless, and cute puppy-like shadow all day long.

“Have a good night, Hua Yong.” Gao Tu wishes as he and Hua Yong prepare to part ways for the day and go home.

“Can I go home with you Gao Tu?” Hua Yong asks as puts his arms around his omega's arm. Clinging to him and refusing to let go as he makes himself pitiable. 

“Why? Did something happen to your apartment?” Gao Tu asks with real concern as he thinks about the place he had been to once and believed Hua Yong to live at.

“I was kicked out for not being able to pay rent because of all the time off work I took. I was living with a friend, but they are moving places soon so I don't really have anywhere to stay.” Hua Yong answers with lies and a partial truth. He, Shaoyou, and now Gao Tu would be moving houses soon to have room for their kids.

Gao Tu works through what Hua Yong told him, and thinks about how comfortable he is with him. “You are welcome to stay the night and the next three weeks if you need. But my place isn't really big or comfortable for more than one person for the long term.” He explains he blushes as his cheek gets kissed and smells a burst of happiness filled orchid pheromones. 

“Thank you. You are the best. I knew I was right in liking you the moment we met.” Hua Yong says. His lips still on Gao Tu's cheek to leave his claim there. The simplest of claims for the time being.

As the two of them take the bus to Gao Tu's place. Hua Yong texts his alpha and tells him where to meet him. Answering all his exclusive omega's questions truthfully. Wishing he could do it over a video call so he could show off Gao Tu to him.

“Make yourself comfortable. I'll make us some tea.” Gao Tu tells Hua Yong as they enter his apartment.

“I will.” Hua Yong replies without shame as he goes straight for Gao Tu's bed. Sniffing in the scent of sage in every corner of the tiny apartment. He sits on the bed while releasing his pheromones knowing Gao Tu and his baby need them.

As Hua Yong expands his claim on the omega he truly has always liked after meeting him, and his friend had been to blind to take as his own a little further. Shaoyou arrives at Gao Tu's place wondering what his ghost orchid had gotten into to claim he would give him an omega to love as his second permanent mate.

Chapter Text

While Hua Yong makes himself at home at Gao Tu's place and deepens his claim on Gao Tu for himself and Shaoyou with his pheromones. 

Gao Tu prepares tea and a simple snack for them. He hears knocking on his front door and he sees his guest for the night, and maybe the next few weeks. Hua Yong sits up a little straighter on his bed and smiles towards the door like he knows who is there already. 

Of all the people to be at his doorstep. The CEO of Shengfeng, Sheng Shaoyou was not who Gao Tu was expecting at all. “Mr. Sheng. Good evening.” He greets politely. But confusion and worry about how the CEO of Shengfeng found his place are written clearly on his face.

“Evening. A-Yong called me.” Shaoyou says back to the omega his ghost orchid wants as their mate to ease confusion and worry on his face. Still not quite believing the secretary he believed to be a beta is really an omega. Because he smells no pheromones coming from him directly, but the smell of sage pheromones is heavy in the air coming from the apartment, so it is obvious an omega does live in the apartment. 

His eyes scan Gao Tu's place from the doorway. Trying not to hold his standards of living against the little apartment. Since he once thought his ghost orchid lived in a place like this. He sees his boyfriend sitting on a bed and he smiles with his eyes, but frowns out of jealousy at how at home he's already made himself in someone else's home. Even the house of a potential mate.

“Shaoyou.” Hua Yong purrs at his alpha's jealousy, but then pouts and nods his head subtly to say that emotion is not needed as he strides towards his marked mate, and his for now unmarked mate.

Orange and orchid pheromones mix together as Hua Yong puts his hand in Shaoyou’s hand and rests his head on his shoulder. “Look beyond the pheromone blocker spray.” Hua Yong whispers as he triggers his exclusive omega to use his powers through their mating bond to smell what he smells. A sage scented, pregnant omega that is theirs.

Shaoyou sniffs the air again while kissing his ghost orchid's temple. Picking up this time the scent of sage coming directly from Gao Tu. “He really is an omega.” He mouths against his boyfriend's skin. Confirming for himself what his boyfriend texted him.

Hua Yong nods and smiles up at Shaoyou. “Yes, but TuTu is more than just an omega.” He whispers with a little hinting as he shamelessly pulls Shaoyou into Gao Tu's place. Gao Tu closes the door behind them and goes to get the tea he was making as he looks at the couple. Feeling very much that is what they are.

The display of affection and mix of pheromones between them. Doesn't make Gao Tu feel uncomfortable, just a little confused as he thought Hua Yong was with Wenlang, and replacing him by his side. Not that this new information that Hua Yong is with someone else changes his plans. He let go of his decade long crush and chose to give his love to his baby. 

And rather than feel like he is a third wheel he feels even better than he was when he was with Hua Yong, but he tries not to think about that. Subconscious pangs of longing to have something so nice, and pregnancy symptoms push his pheromones to release to soothe himself and his baby. 

Fresh sage pheromones with notes of pregnancy hormones fill the small apartment briefly before Gao Tu gets control of himself. But the brief release of pheromones makes Shaoyou growl into his ghost orchid's neck at the tug of his alpha instincts to make Gao Tu his omega and the baby inside him his to protect and love. Since no one else had stepped up to take care of the omega that was more than that now.

“He is ours, my alpha, isn't he? TuTu and his baby, we'll love them both won't we?” Hua Yong questions in a quiet voice as he and exclusive omega sit down at the kitchen table. Their eyes on Gao Tu. His lips pursed into a pout he knows his alpha can't refuse. While his eyes fill with possessiveness and determination to have both his alpha and his omega by his side.

Shaoyou's hand grips Hua Yong's on top of the table. To keep his ghost orchid, or himself in control he isn't sure. But it is to keep them from claiming Gao Tu before he knows he had been marked as special, wanted by both of them.

“Ours, my dreamer.” Shaoyou whispers back as he squishes his boyfriend's cheeks. Ignoring the temptation of his pouting lips. Hua Yong grins and his eyes flash with red at having his alpha by his side actively as they make Gao Tu their omega.

Preoccupied with the tea and putting his feelings and pheromones behind walls. Gao Tu is oblivious to the plans being made regarding him at his kitchen table.

“I only made enough tea for two. So you can have mine Mr. Sheng.” Gao Tu says as he carries two cups of tea and some snacks over to his guests. He sits down by them, and ducks his head as he touches his stomach feeling like they are looking right through him.

“You can have a cup, Gao Tu. You made it for yourself and A-Yong. Besides, food and drinks haven't been tasting right to me recently.” Shaoyou says as he pushes a cup of tea towards Gao Tu. His words spark a huge amount of pride in Hua Yong since they confirm what he has been feeling around his exclusive omega since they became permanent mates.

“Are you sure?” Gao Tu questions as he looks at the cup of tea before him. “I'm sure.” Shaoyou replies with a soft smile. His smile tightens with lines of protection and the need to take care of Gao Tu rather than let Gao Tu take care of him. When Gao Tu gets up and gets him a bottle of water from the fridge.

The three of them sit in a somewhat awkward silence when Gao Tu sits back down. “How did you two meet?” Gao Tu asks to fill the space with noise. “I bumped into him, and then he slowly started to pursue me. Well he thought he was pursuing me.” Hua Yong answers. Leaving out quite a bit of details on how he and his exclusive omega got together, but still being truthful because he promised not to lie to his alpha.

“Yeah. It went something like that.” Shaoyou adds on with sarcastic love.

“So Hua Yong really isn't.. never mind.”

“No I'm not and never was with Wenlang.” Hua Yong answers Gao Tu's unfinished question. Another silence falls after Hua Yong's answer, and it is shortly broken afterwards by Gao Tu's grumbling stomach.

“I'll make you something to eat.” Hua Yong announces. He stands up and Shaoyou and Gao Tu look at him moving around the kitchen looking soft and domestic.

“You know how to cook?” Gao Tu asks.

“Hmm. I learned to cook for the special ones in my life.” Hua Yong replies with a smile. He thought he would only use his cooking skills for his alpha and their baby, but he finds the idea of cooking for his omega just as pleasant as his original intention to learn to cook for his alpha.

Gao Tu and Shaoyou watch Hua Yong cook. Talking on and off. Shaoyou makes Gao Tu more comfortable with his presence with his pheromones. They eat together when the food is ready. 

Gao Tu's pheromones lace and mix with Shaoyou's and Hua Yong's as he relaxes and enjoys the delicious meal made from his limited food options. He forgets to let his walls back up and the enigma and alpha bask in his pheromones and grow more possessive over him, and his baby. That accepts their pheromones.

Hua Yong pouts his way into continuing to stay the night with Gao Tu though he wants to be with both his alpha and omega. His omega needs him more, and he doesn't want to give up ground on claiming him.

Before Shaoyou leaves Gao Tu's place. His ghost orchid tells him to come pick them up tomorrow with a bouquet of orange and orchid, with sage in the center.

That night Hua Yong slept in Gao Tu's clothes and beside him on the bed. But later curled around him possessively and protectively as Gao Tu had pregnancy cramps during the night. Gao Tu slept peacefully in a warm embrace despite his cramps. Balled in the scents of soothing orchid and lingering orange pheromones.

The next morning Gao Tu wakes up without feeling nauseous, and to the scent of strong orchid pheromones all around him. He touches his stomach to say hello to his baby while listening to the sound of his shower running. “This is nice, not being all alone.” He says wistfully.

“Good morning, TuTu.” Hua Yong says as he walks out of the shower and sees his omega is awake, and checking on his baby.

“Good morning…”

“…Hua Yong” Gao Tu says back normally, and then with a large space after he gulps loudly from seeing his guest standing in his living room with nothing but a towel hanging dangerously low around his waist. His skin and hair still damp with water. 

“Can I borrow a suit? I don't have any change of clothes.” Hua Yong asks his turning red TuTu as he tries but fails to take his eyes off of him. “...sure.” Gao Tu says while trying not to gulp again as he gets out of bed. He can feel Hua Yong smiling at him as he grabs two suits from his clothes.

“Here. It's the best one I have.” He tells Hua Yong as he holds out a charcoal gray suit he only wore to extremely high end corporate events towards him.

“Thank you. You'll wear something so much better soon.” Hua Yong says and thinks as he takes the suit. He holds Gao Tu's hand and kisses his cheek. Lower than the first kiss, but not on his lips. Gao Tu blushes and his pheromones filtering past his walls do nothing to calm him as Hua Yong walks back into the bathroom, towel gone, his every step showing off every curve of his fair, damp skin.

Gao Tu has a hard time thinking straight or keeping himself composed as memories of Hua Yong's naked body ingrained themselves into his eyes and memory. He is only able to piece himself back together somewhat from the physical pull he had towards his guest. By the time his guest comes out of the bathroom in his suit and he is both envious and floored at how good Hua Yong looks in his clothes. A look and a grin tell Gao Tu he had been seen again and his thoughts had made Hua Yong very happy. 

They pass each other at the doorway to the bathroom and Hua Yong whispers in Gao Tu's ear that he smells good. Gao Tu takes a long cold shower before changing into his suit. The focus the cold water gave him goes up in smoke as he is hugged and pulled out of his place by an eager and scheming Hua Yong.

Shaoyou is waiting for Gao Tu and Hua Yong at the entrance to the apartment building with a bouquet of flowers in his hand. “For you.” Shaoyou says as he gives Gao Tu the flowers his ghost orchid requested he bring this morning.

“Thanks, but what are these for?” Gao Tu asks as he looks at the flowers. Not unhappy with being given flowers just confused why he is the one getting them. When Hua Yong isn't.

“Because I'm pursuing you, and I know I'm doing the pursuing this time. Though I'm not pursuing you alone.” Shaoyou answers with a little joking sarcasm as he smiles at his ghost orchid, but his eyes are clear and un-joking as he looks into Gao Tu's eyes.

“You can't be serious.” Gao Tu whispers in disbelief as he catches the interest in him in Hua Yong and Shaoyou's eyes.

“We are serious and we'll use the next three weeks to show you how serious we are about you.” Hua Yong refutes his omega's disbelief as he gives him no option to run as escorts him to their alpha's car.

“Careful.” Shaoyou says with concern as he protects Gao Tu's head from hitting the top of the car as he is pulled inside by Hua Yong.

Thick clouds of orange scented pheromones that should overwhelm Gao Tu make him go almost meditative between Shaoyou and Hua Yong. Soon orchid scented pheromones lull both alpha and omega to sleep resting against each other. Their enigma plays with their hair as he makes sure both of his mates’ and the babies growing inside them are well taken care of.

Shaoyou is a little dazed when they arrive at HS, but he doesn't focus on himself, but rather Gao Tu as he helps him out of the car by holding his hand. He then helps his ghost orchid out of the car, and for one moment he is holding both of his mates' hands.

“What are you doing with my secretaries?” Wenlang growls out as he stalks towards the three of them. His pheromones are like a sword around him.

Greeted by agitation, and pheromones that don't make him feel safe. Gao Tu releases his pheromones to protect himself and his baby. But as his scent fills the air he panics not wanting to be exposed or hurt for being an omega.

“He won't see you TuTu. We've got you our omega, and your baby.” Hua Yong says as he wraps his arms possessively around his omega. He whispers out he knows his second destined mate's secret as he and Shaoyou form a shield with their pheromones to keep Gao Tu's sub gender and pregnancy hidden from Wenlang's senses.

“How do you know?!” Gao Tu questions in whispered panic as puts his hands over his stomach.

“Because we see you.” Shaoyou and Hua Yong answer. Their pheromones and eyes blazing with their claim and concern for their omega. As he hides in their pheromones even from them as he gets overwhelmed by his decade strong walls being broken down by them so easily.

Chapter Text

Wenlang stops releasing pheromones aggressively as he watches his little psycho of a friend hold his secretary so protectively and possessively. 

The agitation he felt yesterday watching Hua Yong follow Gao Tu around like a lost puppy was nothing compared to now. Even the time he spotted them leaving the bathroom because of the blush on Gao Tu's cheeks and the happy air around Hua Yong.

Especially with the underlying aggression towards him from the room cleaner and the little psycho.

“Why is everyone so interested in my beta secretary all of a sudden?” He questions with annoyance in his head. While his heart twitches with emotions he doesn't understand, at seeing Gao Tu by other people's side.

Gao Tu can see Wenlang thinking and working back up to being annoyed with how he is being treated by Shaoyou and Hua Yong. “I should get to work.” He says as attempts to step away from Hua Yong.

“No. We should talk first.” Shaoyou says as his ghost orchid keeps hold of their omega. “I need to finish resigning properly. I need to make a clean cut for..my baby.” Gao Tu replies to Shaoyou saying they need to talk. His voice goes quiet and strained as he thinks about his child because he is breathing rapidly in panic from the worst case scenarios for being exposed as an omega playing out in his head.

“Breathe slowly, Tutu, or you'll pass out on us.” Hua Yong instructions somewhat demandingly as he walks his omega towards HS. His alpha by his side keeps Wenlang away from them. Making Wenlang release new slashing pheromones in his agitated state of not being allowed to be near his secretary.

Gao Tu's pheromones flare as he is walked into the entry area of HS. His sage and pregnancy scent are drowned out by Shaoyou's and Hua Yong's pheromones and he can catch his co-workers and his boss coughing and kneeling away from the heavy, oppressing, yet protective amount of pheromones around him.

The clicking of a bathroom door lock, unlocks all the panic inside of Gao Tu. From being seen as he is a pregnant omega, facing Wenlang's agitation and pheromones, and his worst thoughts inside his head. He starts to cough gaggingly over a sink as Hua Yong and Shaoyou caresses his back.

“You're safe, our omega, you're safe.” Hua Yong says soothingly but with a growling edge as his desire to fulfill his mate seeking syndrome grows from how good Gao Tu smells surrounded by his sage scented pheromones and pregnancy hormones.

“I can't...*” Gao Tu starts between gags. “I can't be your omega..*”

“Why? Because you're pregnant with a child that isn't ours?” Shaoyou questions his voice strained and a little clipped from his own restrained instincts to claim Gao Tu, and the sudden unexplainable exhaustion releasing his pheromones is having on his body.

“We don't care who got you pregnant, because we see you as you, and your child as yours, and we want to love and protect you both.” He says in a calmer voice as he joins his ghost orchid in hugging their omega.

Tears of panic, disbelief, and pain from dry heaving go down Gao Tu's face. “Don't cry TuTu.” Hua Yong and Shaoyou request, feeling deeply upset that their omega is in tears in their arms.

“I used scent blocking spray that even Wenlang can't smell through. How did you really pick up so easily I was an omega and pregnant?” Gao Tu asks again to give himself something to focus on rather than the confusing mess of feelings going through his heart and mind from being told he is, and more important to him. His baby is wanted by more than just himself.

“I'm an enigma. So even when you were taking injections I could smell your pheromones. Your sage scent was and is really nice TuTu.”

“A-Yong, don't mess with him. We're both S-Tier alphas.”

“No. I'm an enigma. Our alpha doesn't believe me, but you do, don't you TuTu?” Hua Yong questions. Humor at his alpha's denial of his real sub gender, and curiosity about his omega's thoughts on his true identity coloring his voice.

Gao Tu doesn't answer right away, but he comes to the conclusion quickly enough that Hua Yong is a rare enigma from how easily he saw through his walls. “Yes, Hua Yong, I believe you are an enigma." He answers aloud and he sees bright red, joy filled eyes, and sees and feels the corner of his mouth being kissed hard but lovingly for his reply.

“I knew our omega was special. He sees me like we see him. Help me with our alpha, hmm? So he knows what I really am before he gets as far along as you are.” Hua Yong says, asks, and whispers like kisses by Gao Tu's mouth as he touches Gao Tu's stomach. Letting his omega in on a secret about their alpha.

Shaoyou and Gao Tu give each other preflexed looks. Gao Tu because he is processing finding out the alpha CEO who claims very un-jokingly he is pursuing him is pregnant, and Shaoyou because of how his omega and his ghost orchid are looking at him like they have a secret regarding him.

“Is something wrong, TuTu?” Shaoyou asks while asking his boyfriend a similar question with his eyes.

“I don't think so..” Gao Tu answers hesitantly. While Hua Yong replies with his eyes that everything is good. Gao Tu watches the couple that has taken so much interest in him and his baby so quickly communicate with their eyes. And he reaches out for them subconsciously with his pheromones as his gagging and panic calm down.

Hua Yong and Shaoyou feel their omega calling for them and they nuzzle into his neck. “We're here, TuTu.” They say together. While for the first time Shaoyou kisses Gao Tu on the cheek.

“Do you two really want me and my baby?” Gao Tu finally lets himself dare to ask. “Yes, we want you and your baby, TuTu.” Shaoyou and Hua Yong confirm verbally to Gao Tu. Touches to his stomach, possessive growls, cheek kisses, and two pairs of eyes looking at nowhere else but into his eyes, are Gao Tu's second answer to his question.

“I don't know if I can see myself as yours, but I can give you my last three weeks in HS like you want. To see what you want to show me about your feelings for me and my baby.” Gao Tu tells Hua Yong and Shaoyou. His words are consenting to being pursued. But his eyes are filled with doubt about this being a serious pursuit, and in the end only being a temporary warm light for him and his baby in his lonely world.

“You'll see how you and your baby are supposed to be loved. How much we want to love and protect you and your baby for the rest of your lives. And will use the next three weeks as the beginning of our lifetime with you. Our omega.” Hua Yong declares without a single doubt Gao Tu would be leaving them ever, and Shaoyou's eyes and pheromones signal he seconds his ghost orchid's declaration to their omega.

“Since we talked. I really should get to work now.” Gao Tu states as he finishes calming down from being overwhelmed and panicked. “Okay, but I'm going to be your shadow all day, and no one will get near you.” Hua Yong says with a cute half smile as he switches how he is clinging to his omega, but there is something powerful and threatening about how he means no one will get near Gao Tu at work.

“I'll come back and get you two for lunch.” Shaoyou tells his boyfriend and omega as he kisses them on the cheek.

“Why do you only kiss me on the cheek?” Gao Tu wonders aloud unintentionally, and he hears the bathroom counter crack as Shaoyou and Hua Yong lock onto his lips with their eyes. 

“Because we want you to be comfortable with that, and because we wouldn't be able to stop after we kissed those pretty lips.” Hua Yong answers as he breaks off another piece of the countertop to keep himself from kissing, or doing something more intimate to Gao Tu from behind.

“We want to kiss you, TuTu. Everywhere, but we want your consent before we start and never stop. You have my word we won't force ourselves on you.” Shaoyou answers. “Are you uncomfortable with us kissing you? I didn't ask before I did it because you seemed comfortable when A-Yong kissed you. I apologize if we crossed a line.” He inquires and says as he makes a bit of space between their bodies. Pulling his ghost orchid with him.

“I'm not uncomfortable when either of you kiss my cheek. But thank you for being willing to apologize.” Gao Tu replies. His head a little ducked and his cheeks a little red from blushing at his brief, longing thoughts of maybe getting to have something so nice, and not be all alone anymore.

“Then have a good morning at work and I'll see you and A-Yong at lunch time.” Shaoyou wishes with a smile as he kisses his omega's cheek again. Hua Yong ups his alpha by shamelessly kissing Gao Tu's cheek twice in the same spot their alpha did.

When the three of them leave the bathroom. Hua Yong and Shaoyou back Wenlang down again from approaching Gao Tu. Gao Tu and Hua Yong then go towards the elevators, and Shaoyou goes back to his car to go to Shengfeng. As Wenlang is left on HS’s first floor more agitated and confused about others being around Gao Tu.

Several hours pass with Hua Yong remaining Gao Tu's puppy and protective shadow while his omega works. He sends text and picture updates to their alpha, and then the couple, desiring to show their omega he and his baby are wanted, steal him away for lunch. Leaving Wenlang without a single chance to approach Gao Tu.

During lunch Shaoyou has a hard time eating, and spends most of his time drinking water and making sure Gao Tu is comfortable being treated to a high end lunch date. 

With what he believes to be true about Hua Yong and Shaoyou, and his recent experience with early pregnancy discomfort. Gao Tu shyly embraces his real sub gender and reaches out to Shaoyou in an attempt to ease his aversion to food with his soothing pheromones.

“Thank you.” Shaoyou tells Gao Tu as he picks up on how the sage scented pheromones are calming his stomach and coating his mouth with flavors that make eating tasty again, and make him and his ghost orchid hungrier for something else.

Hua Yong watches his alpha and omega bond as they eat and soothe each other with their pheromones. His chin in his hand and a large, proud, claiming smile of these two are my mates on his lips and in his eyes dancing between red and black. After a lunch that leaves three of them full on food, and two of them hungry for other things. Shaoyou takes Gao Tu and Hua Yong back to HS. 

Gao Tu and Hua Yong finish their workday without much drama. Other than Wenlang ordering Gao Tu to his office that was sabotaged by Hua Yong going in his omega's stead. To face down, and push at Wenlang's agitation, and his unreadable twitching in his heart towards the omega he doesn't know he lost to Shaoyou and Hua Yong.

As HS employees filter out of the building for the evening. Shaoyou is waiting outside for his ghost orchid and omega. Hugs and kisses are given before the three of them before they get in the car. A sight not missed by Wenlang who had followed after Gao Tu as he got off work. His iris’s pheromones burn with the scent of jealousy Hua Yong and Shaoyou easily pick up on as they snuggle Gao Tu against their bodies.

“Take us home.” Shaoyou instructs his driver when his mates' are seated beside him.

“If you two are going home. You can drop me at the bus stop.” Gao Tu says as he sees the car heading away from his apartment.

“My being your guardian puppy isn't over, TuTu, and our alpha wants to protect you too, so you'll come to our home and stay so no one can visit you tonight or any night when you're alone.” Hua Yong says in a possessive tone while playing with Gao Tu's glasses. 

Gao Tu picks up easily enough that Hua Yong is keeping Wenlang away from him. And Shaoyou also picks up on that as well as his ghost orchid's shameless happiness in moving their omega in with them.

Hua Yong looks and acts younger than he ever has with anyone, even his exclusive omega as he shows Gao Tu around his new temporary home. Because he hadn't been lying when he mentioned moving houses as part of his act to get his omega to take him in.

“This is your room, TuTu, unless you want to sleep with us.” He tells Gao Tu as he and Shaoyou show him the guest room. While looking in the direction of the master bedroom. Making it perfectly clear to Gao Tu he is more than welcome there tonight or any night from now on in.

“Thank you Hua Yong..Mr.. Shaoyou. But this room is more than enough for me already.” Gao Tu replies to the bold offer to sleep with the couple pursuing him. He lingers in the hug Shaoyou gave him after he used his proper name, rather than a polite family name. And calls out to him with it again as he rumbles out a request for it just above his scent gland.

Kisses to cheeks just shy of the lips are given to Gao Tu when Hua Yong and Shaoyou finally leave his side for the night. 

But none of them sleep properly until Hua Yong sneaks into the guest room followed by Shaoyou so that they are holding Gao Tu between them and balling Gao Tu and his baby in their orchid and orange pheromones with notes of sage as Gao Tu comforts and calls out to the enigma and alpha who see and want him.

Chapter Text

“Good morning, TuTu.” Shaoyou and Hua Yong say together as their omega wakes up in their arms. Gao Tu blinks up at them as he places his hand over his heart and stomach. Feeling a fluttering heartbeat he didn't yesterday, but the same lack of morning sickness he experienced from having pheromones all around him.

“Good morning.” He greets back a shy smile on his lips. That grows into something warmer and wider as two hands join his, over his stomach to say good morning to his baby, and two pairs of lips kiss the corners of his lips.

“Do we have to go to work? Can't we just stay like this all day?” Hua Yong asks with a large pout as he plays with Gao Tu's hair.

“TuTu wants to finish resigning properly, A-Yong. But I agree with you that it would be nice to stay like this all day. Instead of having to go to work.” Shaoyou reminds his ghost orchid and then yawns out as snuggles into Gao Tu's neck. He growls softly with possessiveness at the increased heartbeat against his face.

Gao Tu doesn't dare give voice that he also wishes to stay right here in bed with the couple giving him and his baby loving attention, but he does stay still in their attentive presence for a little longer before he starts to wiggle to get up.

He rubs his eyes after sitting up in bed to make sure he isn't seeing things as he sees several suits he has a heavy suspicion are his size laying at the end of the bed.

“Do you like them?” Hua Yong asks his omega as he sits up so he can continue to cuddle and cling to his side. Head coming to rest on his shoulder.

“They're nice.” Gao Tu hedges in reply. Unsure and slightly uncomfortable with what are clearly gifts of expensive clothes.

“Try them on. I'm sure you'll like them more when you've seen yourself in them. They'll fit you like a glove since I took the liberty of taking your measurements, so I know how they will fit you.” Hua Yong says. Ignoring Gao Tu's lack of enthusiasm for his first gift from his mates' knowing he is new to being pampered. 

His voice drops into purring and lustful as he eats Gao Tu with his eyes knowing and dreaming what his and Shaoyou's omega looks like in and out of each suit.

“A-Yong. Tell TuTu how you really got his suits.” Shaoyou tells his boyfriend as he sits up in bed. While worried and amused at seeing their omega go very red in the ears colors his eyes.

“Why?” Hua Yong asks with another large pout to feign innocence about how his words come across. His lips stay kissablely pursed in hopes he can keep his mouth from having to tell the truth about the suits.

“A-Yong.”

“Fine, but it's much less romantic and intimate to say I sent the suit TuTu let me borrow yesterday to a shop and have suits selected with my preferences for our omega.” Hua Yong truthfully and poutingly explains as his boyfriend stares him down to be honest.

“Good. Thank you.” Shaoyou says as he kisses his ghost orchid's lips. They smile at each other. Before kissing again. Their omega blushes at the passionate noises they are making by the base of his neck.

“I'll go shower and try the suits on.” Gao Tu says as wiggles away from the kissing couple. Only to be pulled back and kissed with equal passion on his neck, cheeks, and ears.

“Go shower and change. We'll go get ready for the day ourselves and make you and your baby breakfast.” Hua Yong says across the shell of Gao Tu's ear making Gao Tu shiver. “Have a good shower. Call us if you need anything, TuTu.” Shaoyou wishes and says across Gao Tu's other ear an almost mischievous grin on his face from how he and his ghost orchid can fluster their omega.

“See you soon.” Gao Tu says as he dashes quickly but carefully to the bathroom. Arms full of his gifted suits. He looks at himself in the mirror and he releases pheromones to greet his baby good morning. And to calm himself from how drunk and insanely red with happiness he looks from being spoiled and teased first thing in the morning. Loving more than words can express that he is once again not waking up alone.

Hua Yong and Shaoyou cook and work out their hunger for Gao Tu with each other as they both get a little shameless by using Hua Yong's increased hearing to listen to Gao Tu shower.

When Gao Tu comes out from the guest room. Showered and changed for the day. Hua Yong and Shaoyou are also showered and changed, and there is homemade breakfast waiting for all of them to eat.

“Our omega is so handsome.” Shaoyou and Hua Yong praise possessively. As they look Gao Tu up and down in the new, fitted, and warm toned cream colored suit he chose to wear. 

“Thank you. You two look handsome as well.” Gao Tu says. Awkwardly accepting the compliment to his looks. While pushing up his glasses. His reply compliment to how the couple pursuing him look in their different style but clearly matching black and gold outfits is far from what his pheromones are really telling them they look to him.

He is gathered into a possessive, and sensually caressing hug, and kissed all over his face as orange and orchid pheromones send him a message of his thoughts in his pheromones towards them are heard and loved.

They don't move far from each other as they sit down and have breakfast and there is a new layer of home in Shaoyou's place as sage pheromones come off Gao Tu more easily as he and his baby are so openly and seriously loved and wanted.

Work, lunch, and coming home to Shaoyou's place pass the same as the day before. The only major difference is the guest room because the new master bedroom as Hua Yong and Shaoyou sleep there with Gao Tu right away without sneaking in later on in the night.

Days of being pursued, pampered, and loved turn to weeks and Gao Tu’s final three weeks at HS near the end. The longing Gao Tu felt for something nice. Had names he dared to think of as belonging to him and his baby. Hua Yong and Shaoyou. Because they had never let him doubt. Not for a single minute of every day since the day they told him they were pursuing him to love him and his baby. 

That they were anything other than serious about loving him and his baby for the rest of their lives.

Gao Tu's final day at HS is the only day Hua Yong let people approach his omega at work. Hua Yong even let Wenlang say goodbye to his secretary from a distance. 

As he boldly and shamelessly claimed Gao Tu as his and Shaoyou's pregnant omega by gifting Gao Tu a ball that symbolized something that went over Wenlang's head regarding his secretary's identity. And would later lead to Wenlang regretting losing out on the one true omega he could actually accept for the rest of his life.

Outside HS like every day for the past three weeks. Shaoyou is waiting for his boyfriend and omega to come down to him. He stands a little taller as he spots them. And though he and his ghost orchid are confident they have shown their omega how he should and would be loved. There is a nervousness about him and his pheromones, about the small chance Gao Tu would choose to leave everything behind to raise his baby alone.

Hua Yong can sense and smell his alpha's nervousness about their omega because deep down he feels the same nervousness. Though he doesn't show it.

Gao Tu can feel his enigma and alpha watching him and picks up on their nervousness on his choice regarding all of their futures. As he places his box of office items in the trunk of Shaoyou's car. He grabs the ball Hua Yong gifted him and keeps it with him as he walks over to the couple that is his and his baby's home.

His own nervousness sets him to releasing his pheromones as he settles into the light and warmth of love he knows is what he and his baby deserve and will always receive without doubting or fearing it will end.

“I understand how you love me and my baby. I had doubted I could have something so nice as your love for me and my baby permanently.”

“But you two have calmed my fears, erased my doubts, and proven you see and love me like no one else ever will. I told you once I didn't think I could see myself as yours. But I do now. I do see myself as yours. I'm yours Hua Yong, I'm yours Shaoyou, and I want you two to belong to me and my Lele.” Gao Tu says. 

Tears of hopefulness welling up in his eyes as he holds the ball representing his baby out to the couple who showed him he and his baby are loved and wanted. Orchid and orange pheromones burst and ball around Gao Tu as he pulled into Hua Yong's and Shaoyou's embrace.

“Our omega. We do TuTu. We belong to you and your..?” Shaoyou and Hua Yong growls out before getting cut off.

“Lele.” Gao Tu cuts in.

“Hmm?” His alpha and enigma ask him.

“My baby's name is Lele.” He tells them. Picking a name for his, and their baby.

“I love it. Gao Lele.” Hua Yong purrs first before Shaoyou follows suit.

“Then our omega. We belong to you and Lele. May we kiss you now?” Shaoyou and Hua Yong declare and question as they lock in on their mate's lips with hunger, desire filled eyes.

Gao Tu gulps and shivers at the heat of their desire for him. His pheromones call out with his consent as he parts his lips in a moaning. “Yes.”

Hua Yong's lips touch Gao Tu's lips first. His eyes are bright red with the thrill of having his omega accept his love and affection. And though he is careful he is also pushy and bold as pushes his alpha and omega into the car.

Shaoyou lands in the backseat with Gao Tu almost in his lap. Laughter spitting his lips at his ghost orchid going at their omega like they are in bed. “Gentle, A-Yong.” He says as he puts his hand under Gao Tu's chin and lifts his head towards his.

“I am being gentle.” Hua Yong says with a bit of enigma authority as he undoes the buttons of Gao Tu's shirt over his stomach before kissing it with a tiny bit of self control to please his alpha.

Gao Tu moans into his kiss with Shaoyou and his hands shake around the ball in his hands as heat builds in his stomach from each kiss placed there. Fingers trace over his stomach while hands go around his hands to keep the ball from falling. 

And moans and then laughs with weightless, happy laughter part Gao Tu's lips further at being kissed with the intention of it never stopping. Hua Yong and Shaoyou purr at their omega's laughter and they trade off which one is kissing his lips and exploring his mouth as they keep kissing him everywhere else over his clothes.

Gao Tu is well loved and a panting, blushing, drunk on everything he has deserved for a very long time as he, Hua Yong, and Shaoyou get back to Shaoyou's place, their temporary home.

“Our omega.” Hua Yong and Shaoyou kiss possessively into Gao Tu's lips as they curl around in the master bedroom. Clothes still on but disheveled from their kiss filled, car ride home.

“Yours.” Gao Tu kisses out into his alpha and enigma’s lips as he falls further into their want and love for him and their Lele. All his life he has longed for the love he was shown these last three weeks. And now without a shadow of a doubt he knows he and Lele will always have this love from the two people who saw him for him. 

Things had changed majorly in the last three weeks for all of them, and things would continue to change in major ways for all of them. But all of the changes were good things and things filled with love. 

The first two changes starting from tonight would be the three of coming together sexually.  And Gao Tu helping Hua Yong convince their alpha about his truth of being an enigma. And then not long after both of these things. Would Gao Tu tell Hua Yong and Shaoyou he loves them.
