Heat and Heart

Choosing

The couple grasped his hands and let him lead the way to the elevator and up to the penthouse where Thor and Tony both rushed at them. The other men both smelled and looked worried.

"There you are! We were worried." Tony cried out, hugging Steve's waist and then blinking at the people on either side of him. "Care to explain why the WS is in my tower along with doctor lady?"

"My family." Steve said firmly. "They were helpin me... Cause I needed them. You put that on me right after I had a new experience that you didn't even give me time to process. And you both seemed intent on that being our course of action for the future."

"I'm sorry, Steve... We were excited." Tony looked down, radiating upset Omega pheromones. Steve let go of Bucky and Kayla and hugged Tony tightly. He hated Tony being sad.

"You gotta think about it before springing things like that on people." Steve mumbled, cuddling Tony as Thor held them both. The shorter two were leaning into the God, letting him hold their weight.

"Steve would want us there with him if he did it." Kayla spoke, reminding them that they were there. Bucky was standing behind her, arms around her waist protectively.

"I do... If I did it, I'd want them there." Steve confirmed, nuzzling Thor's neck. "They're my Family."

"That would be acceptable." Thor agreed and Tony nodded. The shorter Omega kissed Steve's cheek lovingly.

"Anything that would make you more comfortable." Tony also agreed, looking at Steve fondly.

"Next time... Try not to panic my baby or so help me Zeus, I'll kill you both." Kayla threatened darkly before Bucky ruffled Steve's hair and they trapped the blond in a tight hug before departing.

"She scares me." Tony blinked rapidly. The air had gotten ice cold during her threat and was now warming back up.

"She is a fierce maiden for sure. They care very much for you, Steve." Thor smiled, sitting on the couch with both his lovers in his lap.

~Three weeks later~

They had gone through Tony's heat without a hitch, working as a team to settle him. Steve was oddly exhausted after, withdrawing into himself and hiding away which caused great concern to the other two.

"Steve?" Tony looked into the room that had been a guest room but now was where Steve hid the most. He sat next to his lover, hugging the desolate looking Blond to him.

"I want to do it." Steve turned to Tony and looked at him with tears. He wanted to do the Change.

"That's great, Baby. But why are you crying?" Tony wiped under Steve's eyes with his thumbs, pressing his lips to the other man's forehead. Thor was out hunting for them, wanting to feed them incessantly. Tony was very worried about Steve.

"Because I'm scared. What if I'm a bad Omega? What if you guys don't like me as one? What if Thor or you decide you don't want me?" Steve's emotions were high as he cried, Tony holding him tight.

"We will never ever not want you! You are a good boy, Steve. Such a good boy. You are already so good for Thor, Baby. And for me. So perfect, Steve. I promise." Tony reassured him, making Steve look into his eyes. "Thor and I already love you so much and I can teach you what to do."

Steve cried into Tony's chest, trying to get a hold of himself. He was still crying when Thor came in though and the god dropped to his knees, holding Steve's hands.

"What is the matter?" Thor questioned, frowning at how upset Steve was. He didn't like seeing the other blond like this.

"Steve thinks he won't be a good Omega or we'll decide we don't want him and won't like him as an Omega." Tony listed off, relieved that Thor was there. "He wants to be an Omega though."

"Oh, Steve. You already have been subconsciously readying yourself for it. You've been behaving so well and we will aways want you, no matter what." Thor rubbed Steve's arm gently and smiled. "So be our good boy and dry your eyes." He wiped Steve's eyes with his sleeve gently, seeing the future Omega relax.

Steve shifted, letting go of Tony and sliding down to sit in Thor's lap. He was already seeking comfort from his Alpha and Tony, brain having been preparing him to make the change. And he thought that perhaps he was always meant to be an Omega. That maybe he had been born in the wrong body.

"When would you like to do this?" Thor's voice was soft and Tony slipped out of the room to give Thor and Steve bonding time. He was always with them and they never really bonded much without him, which made him feel guilty because Steve needed affection and love too.
