Work Text:
Danny felt like he’s experiencing a déjà vu the moment he entered the house. This is just how it happened with Rachel and Stan. He let himself in with the key Steve and Freddie gave him. The open concept and the thin dry wall of the house meant he could easily hear the loud moans and the rustling of the sheets coming from the bedroom upstairs.
He stood frozen at the hallway for a while, seriously debating whether or not he should go up there. After hearing another loud moan he decided he better end this here and now while he can. Danny just thought he’s lucky this time he caught it early on, before he got committed to those two.
So the blonde strengthen up his resolve and proceeded upstairs. The moans died down a bit but Danny could still hear the rustling of the sheets. He walked down the hallway to the open door of his alphas' room, dread pooling in his stomach at what he imagines lays ahead.
“Danny, babe thank god you are home!” Steve exclaimed as he noticed the omega standing at their bedroom door. He's propped up on his elbow, grinning wide as if he had done not a thing wrong. The blond's other alpha, who was on top of the grinning brunette, turn his head to also smile widely at the sight of the short omega.
“What’s the matter, Doll?” Freddie asked when he saw the expression the blond’s face.
“Where is she? Or he?” Danny asked, voiced laced with barely concealed anger as he looked around the room.
“What? Who are you looking for, D?” Steve asked looking confused at their omega’s behavior.
“Obviously the bimbo you two are hiding!” Danny shouted as he went to the en suite bath then to the closet and under the bed to check look for someone hiding in there.
“Bimbo? There’s no bimbo here.” Steve said and then turned to his bed partner with a smirk. “Unless you meant Freddie. His IQ could qualify him as a bimbo.”
“Hey that’s harsh dude!” the younger SEAL protested smacking the other alpha in the arm.
“Wait it’s really just you having sex?” Danny finally asked again, when he found no sign of a third person in the room.
“I think the nakedness and sweat should clue you in on that.” Freddie smiled warm and teasing like they were simply having a fun engaging afternoon, instead of near the brink of breaking up a triad.
“I meant with JUST each other?” Danny asked dumbfounded. Couple sex isn't something he’s unfamiliar with. He might have even indulged once in college but that was never for him too unbalanced and it felt lacking. So it be the height of hypocrisy if he thinks something wrong of it. But he doesn’t get how the Alphas could just engage in something so… strange is the only term that comes to Danny’s mind. “Together? Just the two of you?”
“You say that like it’s something wrong.” The older brunette said moving to the edge of the bed.
“No, no of course I don’t think it’s wrong.” Danny said sounding calm but body language still tense. “Dyad is a perfectly acceptable relationship. I just wished you told me you were just using me as your beard.”
“What the hell? What are you talking about now babe?” Steve stood up naked and unashamed as he approached the omega. When the omega took a step back looking to flee the room, the older SEAL changed directions intending to block Danny’s exit.
“You having sex with each other, just the two of you. Obviously that meant something.” Danny stated, realizing he couldn’t get out of the room fast enough.
“Obviously that meant nothing Danny. Other than that Fred and I were horny. You’re not around, we fuck each other. What’s wrong with that?”
“Yeah we love fucking each other. I like it when Steve does that thing with his tongue and Steve he likes it when I ride him. Sex with each other is always fun but that doesn’t mean we’re pair inclined or a dyad.”
“You…” Danny can’t even think of what to say. He was busy thinking about the arousing mental image that the alphas’ words evoked, so he missed the lengthy but silent conversation his alphas had over his head.
“This has something to do with you exes’ infidelity isn’t it?” Freddie guessed and Danny hang his head in shame. He knew he shouldn’t compare relationships but he can’t help it.
“I… I’m…” Danny started not knowing what to say at first. Then he guessed he was wrong in assuming things before talking about it. “I’m sorry.” Danny apologized, eyes still on the floor not wanting to see the dismay in his alphas’ eyes.
He felt Steve approach, his hands moving to tilt his chin up. They held gaze for a moment before the alpha said, “You have nothing to apologize about.”
“No… I was wrong I should definitely apologize. I accused you guys of cheating… and being pair inclined. I didn’t even think that you could…” Danny trailed off, blushing at the thought of deviancy his lovers engaged in. He knows that there are primer couples who had sex before . “I’m sorry Stan and Rachel they never had sex… I mean at least not directly with each other.”
“Oh that’s why…” Steve said mind working on a theory as he approached the omega, intending to guide him to the bed.
“Why what?” The blonde asked confused but he let the older alpha manhandle him into the bed where the other one was waiting.
“Why you got divorced.” Freddie stated, completely in tune with where the other man was going with his theory and his actions as he scooted to the edge to make way for his lovers.
“We got divorced because I was never enough for them.” The detective stated still uncertain at what the Alpha was trying to say.
“No, you guys got divorced because they cheated on you.” The older alpha contended.
“Yes because I wasn’t around to satisfy their needs.” Danny reasoned.
“That’s ridiculous.” Freddie snorted. He can’t help it when the blond was being uncharacteristically naive. The alpha had to set him straight. “You are not a sex slave, you don’t exist just to satisfy the needs of your lovers. You’ve got a career and a life.”
“Freddie’s right. The fact is you can’t always be around and if they at least liked each other they wouldn’t feel the urge to cheat when you’re not around because the have each other to ‘satisfy’ their needs till you got back.”
“They liked each other just fine.” Danny reply tone clipped. At his alphas’ raised eyebrows he went on to explain, “They were primer couples for five years before I met them.”
“And they just happen to not have sex with each other, in the what eight years you are married to them? Or even before that?” The older brunette challenged his world view.
“They’re traditional and conservative. They don’t like to appear inappropriate.” Danny made excuses for his exes' behavior.
“No, Sweet Baby. I hate to be the one to tell you this but I think your relationship was doomed from the start.” the younger alpha brazenly informed the blond.
“Yes, Stan’s probably a monosexual preferring only male omegas.” Steve added his two cents in. “And Rachel’s probably jealous of you because Stan never reacted to her the way he did to you.”
“No that’s not right.” The blond shook his head not wanting to believe what the alphas are clearly stating. He even tried to justify his exes behavior. “Rachel isn’t jealous, she was the one who liked me first and got us all together. And Stan loves Rach, or else why would he even pair up with her, in the first place?”
“Stan may have loved Rachel but it’s platonic at most. That’s their issue.” The older alpha replied, with caution wanting Danny to realize the truth but not wanting to unnecessarily cause the blond omega any pain. “I’m guessing that them being together was driven more by status than romantic love. The thing is Stan couldn’t give Rachel the love she deserves. ”
“So of course Rachel would approach you. You just maybe the perfect pawn to her schemes.” the younger alpha was more brazen in his tone not at all hedging his words. “Five years together, that’s long enough time to figure out what’s your partner’s type. I’d recognize Steve’s type a mile away, just a year into the relationship. She probably thought you’re the only chance she have of keeping Stan because you tick off everything on Stan’s ‘to-do-list’.”
“I… don’t think that’s it. You don’t understand Stan’s born to a rich conservative triad and Rachel’s stiff upper lip British who’s bred to care about propriety. Their ability to express their feelings is even worse than yours. If you two got an emotional range of a spoon those two had that it worse. For them intimacy between just two people without a third… Well that’s crossing a line to sexual deviancy.”
“That’s bullshit and you should fucking know it by now.” Freddie, not one to shy away from a curse or two, firmly commented vexed at how his omega’s exes’ behavior could be quite ruinous to the blond’s self-respect.
“Steve and I came from similar background of the ignorant conservative right. Steve’s ancestors were some sort of British royalty that conquered these islands. His folks are the no chick flick moments type of persons. Hart is a big name in banking industry and real estate. My folks, they are as conservative as any right-wing nut job out there. We attended the same fucking charity galas our folks kept on insisting we need to for propriety’s sake…” The younger alpha paused for breath, his vehement irritation tapering off as he continued, “What I’m saying is, we know rich and conservative. But you don’t see us using or wealth and upbringing as an excuse to be cheating assholes, do you?”
“No, but—” Danny tried to reason again but the other alpha cut him off.
“Why are you even trying to justify their behavior?” The older brunette, asked confused by the blond’s relentless defense of his former spouses when usually he’s the first one to say something nasty about the pair. “They’ve cheated on you. They made you think low of yourself and they stood in the way of your career. You even admitted that yourself when we met you. Now you turned around to defend them and their actions?”
“It’s not that I’m defending them…” Danny trailed off, barely able to keep the his emotions reigned in, before he continued, “It’s just they the parents of my children and I was with them for almost a decade. And thinking all that is some sort of a lie. That they never loved me…”
“Oh Darling Doll…” Freddie, sensing that despite his even tone that the blond is truly hurting, hugged their omega close and kissed the side of his head. Steve had done the same on the other side while rubbing his huge hand comfortingly around the blonde’s back. “We so sorry, we never meant to imply any of that.”
“But if what you are saying is even a bit true then it means…” Danny trailed off voice soft and in the verge of tears.
“We are so sorry you had to go through that experience that you did, Doll.” Freddie hugged the blond tighter, as Steve raked his hands through the blond locks. “We wished we could have known you sooner if only to spare you from the pain.”
“But the thing is those experiences, they shaped the person you are today.” Steve added, not wanting the blond to think for a moment that they ever thought of him as less of what he is. “A loving father and the best omega anyone could ask for.”
“Me and Steve would love you just as you are before, I’m sure.” The younger alpha was quick to agree. “But you plus Gracie and Charlie, that’s like…winning the lottery.”
“Exactly, we couldn't love you any less no matter what.”
“Yeah, Steve and I love you, Doll. But we love each other too. That’s what different with us. It’s why we’ll never cheat on you, because it’ll feel a lot like cheating with each other.”
“I…” Danny trailed off not knowing what to say to that. Or rather knowing exactly what to say but afraid of voicing it out loud.
“You don't have to say it back, you know. Us loving you isn’t contingent on you being able to say it, Babe.”
“No I can say it just I need…” Danny paused wondering what kept him from saying those three words he knew he felt for the alphas. So he took a leapt of faith, first murmuring the words in the younger alpha’s chest where his head was buried. Before facing both his alphas to say the words more clearly,
“I love you. Both of you.” The omega told them looking them both in the eye, in turns. “I guess I don’t need anymore time to decide whether I want you hearing it.”
The look on both his alphas’ faces was so blindingly bright, Danny can’t help but blush and bury his head again in Freddie’s chest to keep from melting from the intensity of their gazes. The younger alpha who held him slid down into a lying position dragging the omega half on top of him. A moment later Danny felt the other alpha engulf them both in his arms. He felt them kiss each other on top of his head.
It’s something he never felt in his past relationship. Steve and Freddie’s focus was on each other but they never forgot or ignored Danny, both their hands roaming everywhere on the blond’s body. Unlike how it was with Stan and Rachel, they don’t go in turns to share intimacy with him but instead work together to gave him twice the pleasure at the same time. It’s quite ironic that Danny now thinks he had a more fulfilling triad relationship with a pair of Alphas who could pass for a Dyad couple than a pair of conservative alphas who are staunchly against pair-inclined agendas. Heck Danny thought his relationship with said conservative alphas looked more like what a dyad relationship would be than it is a triad.
But now is not the time for thinking about Stan and Rachel. Now he could just Both alphas continued to make out not losing their grip with their omega at all. They paused to catch their breath smiling at each other then at their blond lover. They settled more comfortably in the bed, enveloping their omega in a warm embrace, legs intertwined with each other. They laid on the bed cuddling for a while just basking for a moment in the love they feel for each other.
“Now I believe you just called us sexual deviants and we can’t just let that go unpunished.”
“Our Fella’s right, Doll. You can’t call us sexual deviants and expect us to not prove to you that—”
“We are EXACTLY just that!” the alphas chorused the last line perfectly in tune with each other.
Danny looked up to his alphas to see them both sporting a lustful glint in their eyes.
Oh I’m so screwed. Danny thought.
