Make it Work

Summary:

The one where Erwin's father tells Levi that he thinks Erwin and Mike are too close, but all three of them are already mated.

Chapter Text

Levi loved Erwin, but he hated when his father visited. 

He had met his father shortly after they got mated,  the older Beta tolerant of him. 

He didn't know it, but Levi had over heard him telling Erwin that he wished he'd settled down with someone a little more civil. 

Levi still cleaned their apartment from top to bottom, and by the time Erwin got back from picking his father up from the airport he was in the kitchen, their roommate Mike helping him make dinner. 

Erwin came up behind Levi, wrapping his arms around the Omega's waist. 

"Smells great, babe," he commented, pressing a kiss to the side of his head. 

Levi rolled his eyes and continued stirring the tomato sauce. 

"Stir this," Levi told him, passing the spoon off to Erwin. 

The Alpha took it, and Levi went to grab four plates out of the cabinet. 

Erwin's father was standing in the doorway, and Levi nodded a greeting to him as he set the table. 

Mike finished getting the garlic bread ready, putting a hand on the small of Erwin's back to move him out of the way. 

Levi watched out of the corner of his eyes as Erwin moved, bumping his hip against Mike's once the oven was closed again. 

They kept it up while Levi set the table, giving each other playful touches, light banter getting thrown around. 

By the time they were sitting down for dinner, Erwin's father was looking at the three of them with suspicion in his his eyes. 

Conversation was pleasant, if not a little stilted, and Levi was relaxed by the time they were done with dinner and desert. 

Mr. Smith's eyes never left Erwin and Mike as they washed up and put the kettle on. 

Levi smiled at Erwin when he brought him a cup of tea, tipping his head up so he could press a kiss to his mate's lips. 

"Levi?" Mr. Smith started an hour later, when the four of them were were lounging in the living room, an old movie playing on the TV. 

Levi looked up from where he had been resting his head on Erwin's shoulder. 

"Will you be a dear and drive me back to my motel?"

Levi tried not to winkle his nose at the endreameant. He wasn't some 50's house wife.  

"Of course," he got up, giving Erwin a kiss before slipping on his shoes and grabbing his coat. 

Mr. Smith did the same, telling his son that they'd meet for breakfast the next morning. 

It was only when they were in the car, the heat turned on to ward off the mid-February chill, the the older man said anything. 

"I have some concerns about my son, Levi, and I'd like to address them with you." 

Levi looked at him out of the corner of his eye. 

"Okay."

Mr. Smith cleared his throat. 

"As my Son's mate, you know that an  Alpha has certain needs, and that it's your job as an Omega to tend to those needs."

Levi clenched his jaw, wondering what he was getting at. Keeping his eyes on the road, Levi gave a hum. 

"I'm concerned that he's not getting enough from you, and that he's turning to another to get those needs fulfilled."

Levi glanced over at him, a dark brow arched. 

"You think Erwin's cheating on me?"

His father-in-law rolled his eyes. 

"It's an Alpha's nature, Levi. You should know that."

Levi rolled his eyes. An Alpha's nature was to protect what was their's and keep their mate safe, not chase tail and fuck random people after they'd been mated. 

Levi bit his tongue though. 

"And who, pray tell, do you think he's cheating on me with?"

"That other Alpha, of course. You really brought it upon yourself, you know. Letting someone like that live in your house with you." 

Levi eased on the breaks, idling at a stop light. 

He tugged at the collar of his turtle neck, thankful that Erwin's father was a beta, or else he would have been able to pick up on the spike of nerves that went through his body. 

As long as his sweater hid the fact that head two mating bites, one on each side of his neck, he would be okay. 

"Why Mike?" he asked when he trusted his voice again, the light turning green. 

Mr. Smith shook his head. "They way they were touching in the kitchen was most Indecent.  It was like they were the mated pair. Two Alpha's in a relationship like that, it's just unnatural."

Levi had never been happier to see the sign of the Comfort Night hotel, pulling up in front of the large, three story brick building. 

"Just keep an eye on him, and maybe do some thing extra in the bedroom, yeah? Keep the romance alive."

'Oh', Levi thought, 'we are doing that.' 

"I really don't think that there is anything going on between Erwin and Mike," Levi lied.

"But I will think about what you said." He would not, because there was nothing else to think over, but Erwin's father did not need to know that.

Nodding, Mr. Smith got out of the car, reaching in the back to grab his bag.

Levi waited until he was in the elevator to pull away, turning back onto the road and heading home.

When he got home, Mike and Erwin were making out on the couch, Erwin straddling the taller man's lap.

Levi cleared his throat and they pulled apart, Erwin's shirt hanging off of one shoulder.

"Your father is pretty sure there's something going on between you two," Levi commented as he hung up his coat, bending down to untie his shoes.

"And that I need to step up my game in the bedroom, Erwin, since apparently, 'Alpha's have needs, and it's my job to see to them' and 'If I don;t than somebody else will'. Can you believe that?"

"Coming from my father, yes i can."

Levi rolled his eyes and went over to the couch, pressing a kiss to Erwin's lips, then Mike's.

"It's going to be hard to hid this," he commented, pulling down the collar of his sweater.

Mike's mating bite was still fresh, a deep red bruise on the side of his neck.

The larger Alpha grinned, leaning over to scent the mark.

"That's kinda the point, Levi," he said against his neck, kissing over the bite.

Erwin climbed off of Mike's lap, sitting on Levi's other side, peppering kisses on the other side of his neck.

Levi huffed with fake annoyance, but relaxed under the ministrations of his Alphas.

Later that night when they were curled up in bed together, Levi  in the middle with his head on Mike's chest, Erwin kissed the back of his neck before falling asleep.

Levi closed his eyes, soaking in the feeling of being surrounded by his mates.

He'd been concerned about sharing a bed with the two large Alphas, half afraid that one of them would roll over on him in the middle of the night. 

But the first time the three of them shared a bed, he had felt so safe and protected that it was addicting. 

He still felt that way, the scent of 'home' and 'happy' filling the room.

Tucking closer to his first love, Levi took in Erwin's comforting scent.

-----------------------------

Erwin's father was in town for a week, and every time Mike was with them Levi caught Mr. Smith eyeing him.

Levi felt off all day, and by the time they were dropping Erwin's father off at the airport, all he wanted to do was lay down.

"Are you feeling alright, Levi?" Erwin asked an hour later, the tree of them waiting for their food in a small diner.

"Yeah, there's something different about your scent today," Mike added, sniffing at the air.

"I'm fine. You're like a damn dog with that nose of yours, Mike."

Levi was fine until the waitress brought their food out a few minutes later, the scent of eggs heavy in the air.

His stomach churned, and Levi clapped a hand over his mouth, rushing to the bathroom so much that his chair toppled back.

"Levi!" Mike and Erwin shouted after him, but he didn't turn back, bolting into the bathroom.

He heard someone follow him, the scent of 'mate' that hit his nose doing nothing to quell the nausea. 

After he was done throwing up the contents of his stomach, the Omega leaned back, Erwin's scent comforting him.

"Do you want to go home?" he asked softly, brushing Levi's damp hair from his forehead. 

"I'll be fine. Let's just eat."

"If you're sure."

Erwin helped him up, and Levi splashed his face with cold water before going back out.

Mike was waiting at the table, a glass of water and some toast by Levi's food.

He leaned over, subtlety scenting him.

"You alright, love?"

Levi nodded. "I'm sure it's just a stomach bug."

------------------------------------

Two weeks later when he missed his heat and still felt faint, he wasn't so sure.

He went to the drug store and bought a pregnancy test, unsure of what he wanted the outcome to be.

His stomach was in knots the whole drive home, the brown paper bag from the drug store sitting in the passenger seat.

He was thankful that he had the house to himself that day, going to the bathroom as soon as he got home.

He must have read over the instructions five times before he took the test. 

Levi sat on the edge of the tube, and tried to play a game on his phone to pass the time. 

He got antsy in a minute and ended up opening and closing apps until the timer on his phone went off. 

Taking a deep breath, Levi looked down at the test. 

Two pink lines stared back at him. 

--------------------------------

Mike got him first, and when Erwin got home it was to Levi pushing at his shoulders. 

"Stop fucking sniffing me you overgrown Labrador."

Erwin chuckled. 

"Everything okay?" he asked. 

Levi grunted. "Tch, call your dog off, Erwin, he won't stop sniffing me."

"Not my fault, you smell good. Better than you normally do."

Levi flushed. "Yeah, I think I might know why."

He'd wanted to tell them over dinner, but Erwin had a calculating look in his eyes and Levi knew he'd figure it out. 

"I'm pregnant," he told them bluntly. 

Erwin's eyes went wide. "You're sure?"

"Yeah. I missed my heat, and there's three tests in the bathroom telling me it's because I'm pregnant."

A slow smile spread over Erwin's face, then he was rushing forward, pulling Levi and Mike into a hug. 

He kissed Levi, pulling back so he could grin at both of them. 

"We're going to be fathers."

Mike and Levi smiled back. 

---------------------------------------------

The next time Erwin's father came to visit, he was surprised to walk in the door only to see Levi and Mike snuggled together on the couch, the Omega asleep on the Alpha's shoulder.

Mike's arm was around Levi's waist, a hand on his rounded belly.

He was even more surprised when Erwin stayed perfectly calm, going over and pressing a kiss to Levi's forehead, then Mike's lips.
