When Skeptic finally awoke, he could tell two things.
One, he couldn't move.
Two, he couldn't move because he was sandwiched between two alpha males that were determined to keep every inch of him covered or touched in some way. Blearily blinking open his eyes he looked around the nest that he built, barely recognising he had given how much of a heat blur last night was. His neck was swollen and throbbed with the reminder of the mating mark.
He tried to move and whined lightly when Shigaraki tightened his grip on him, burying his face further into his breasts. The alpha rumbled in discontentment until Skeptic soothingly ran his fingers through his hair, settling him down back to sleep. Dabi on the other hand, was dead to the world, pressed up behind him like a human sized heat pad and most likely drooling in his hair. Ugh.
Legs like jello, everything ached with the absence of his heat. He yawned behind his hand and fumbled to find his phone in the disorganised mess of limbs and clothing. The clock read 9am back to him and he almost had a heart attack. He was late. So very late.
Amidst the minor panic and the spike of his scent he didn't notice Shigaraki stir awake to investigate the source of his mate's distress. He leaned up, sleepily capturing the shell of ear with a kiss and enjoying the pleasant shudder and mumbled noise from him.
"-- I already cancelled your meetings for the week." his voice was rough and husky with disuse, Skeptic wouldnt mind hearing more of it. He let himself be taken more fully into his arms as Shigaraki trailed kisses down to his scent gland, suckling sweetly on the now pleasant scent that emitted. "You don't have to get up for anything."
"But – my work backlog, and meetings for next week and breakfast and – oooh, A-Alpha.." Skeptic's ramblings were cut short when the callous palm ghosted over his breast, cupping him gently and kneading the swollen muscle. He leaned back against Shigaraki's chest, and all of his worries seemed to melt away with each kiss of his scarred lips on his shoulder.
"I don't want you to worry about a thing. The omega of my pups is going to need plenty of rest if he wants to carry such a strong litter." His hand delicately rubbed the non existent swell of his tummy. It made the other freeze and Shigaraki to pause, scenting and snuffling him. "-- You don't want my pups?"
"No. It's not that." he assured softly. Skeptic rested his hand on Dabi's head, scritching gently on his white locks and smiling when he heard the sleepyhead start to purr. "I just don't know if it took. My heats are remarkably short."
"Well. We'll just have to find out, won't we?"
That was the last word he would get out of Shigaraki when he tilted his head back and captured his mouth with his own, kissing him passionately and letting his hand slip lower from his stomach.

As it turned out, it did take.
Sat awkwardly on the bathroom counter with three pregnancy tests and a fourth in hand all showing positive, he could hear his alphas restlessly pacing. Skeptic felt .. he didn't know what to feel. In media expecting omegas were overjoyed, full of tears. Was he broken that he felt nothing so far?
His hand enveloped over the tiniest bit of pudge from his stomach. It wasn't that he was unhappy at the revelation, he knew that much. Perhaps the nagging idea of being a failure to his mate's pups put off celebrating so far. Perhaps the statistics of male omegan pregnancies and their success rate plummeted his mood. The fact of the matter was he was bringing new life into the world. Him.
God. He was a neurotic insomniac with a drug and drinking problem he was going to have to kick immediately and chronic workaholicism. There was no way he would be fit as a parent.
"How long does it take to piss on a stick?!" hounded Dabi from behind the door, pounding on it rapidly. Skeptic snorted and remembered he wasn't the only one here. His mates were notoriously worse. He could scent things about them more keenly now. Their scents stuck out the most and he could tell what they were feeling much to their chagrin sometimes.
"Dabi." the exasperated voice of Shigaraki sounded out, quieter and raspy.
Dabi was no doubt about to retort with something smart when the bathroom door clicked open and Skeptic stepped outside. The two alphas watched him with baited breath, crimson and sapphire on him with anticipation seeded deep within their scent.
"I'm pupped." he says simply.
It seemed to shatter the thin ice of awkwardness that frosted over, with Dabi's manic grin starting to spread and Shigaraki releasing a quiet breath. They were on him faster than he could squeak, the former purring and nuzzling his neck and the other attacking his face with gentle kisses.
His previous thoughts seemed to melt away and for once, Tomoyasu found himself smiling, giving in to their embrace and purring along, later dragging them into the shared nest for a more special way of celebrating the news.

"Eee!! Our very own Tomo pupped to the commanders! I want first hand interviewing rights and exclusive ultra sound pictures. … you HAVE been to the doctors, right?"
Tomoyasu groaned and sunk his head into the nest of folded arms as the other omega flitted around him and fixed up hos sweaters to be more looser for his impending belly. He didn't even bother mustering up a snap when Curious started fixing his ratty hair.
"Shigaraki barely lets me move two inches without making sure I'm healthy enough to. Yes I have been to the doctors." he groused. "Foetal heartbeats strong, lung and organ development healthy, hormones in check."
"Heartbeats? Plural?" Her eyes practically shined in their sockets. Skeptic rose his head and settled his cheek on his palm.
"Twins." He winced when she squealed, clapped her hands and took a candid picture of him with her phone so completely unphased by the behaviour. " – I feel like I'm in a fat suit. I'm bloated, I waddle when I walk, and I'm letting out a scent so sickly sweet it's making everyone fucking useless around me."
Whilst the mythos went that an omega in heat was dangerous and sent alphas into a frenzy, it couldn't be further from the truth the moment that omega was pupped and mated. Now, it seemed like alphas fell over themselves to accomodate him. At first it stroked his ego to be pampered and waited on hand and foot but now he was frankly annoyed.
"Oh you're such an overdramatic sourpuss. Only you could kick up a fuss during such a great time. I'm sure it's not that bad." she hummed, tucking some of his hair behind his ear, only to tut when it fell forward.
"Koku brought me coffee this morning. Like he always does." he muttered, sinking his cheek further so it smushed. "Dabi got so worked up over a beta's scent of all things he started growling and lit up. I've never seen him move so fast. Dabi then proceeded to spend the next two hours scenting me."
"That's why you can't walk and haven't ran off the moment I started on your hair, huh?"
Skeptic flushed bright pink to Curious' infectious laughter.
