Sulking or Soaking?
It had been over a week and half since the accident had happened and y/n was doing a lot better. Her bruises were faded, her stitches were gone, her ribs were almost healed, and she only had the occasional headache from her concussion, but she refused to shift out of her wolf form. Only having shifted once, to eat the food Nat had made a few days ago, since everything at the mall had happened.
Of course it had happened before. Her alphas had discovered it was a part of her healing process after they had saved her when they first met. Y/n felt stronger in her wolf form. In her wolf form, she had claws and sharp teeth while in her human form she wasn’t even able to throw a proper punch.
Nat and Wanda were a bit worried and sad that she felt the need to be in her wolf form twenty four seven. They hoped she wasn’t regressing in her healing from the past, and they hoped that she knew she was safe when they were around, but the alphas did know she’d shift back eventually. All they had to do was love her through it, be there for her, and the omega would be fine.
Since y/n had refused to shift back into her human form, both alphas made it a point to make sure that one of them was always in their wolf form with her. They would take turns throughout the day switching when it was needed, while at night they would both shift so they could all cuddle together. Last night however was different, there had been a mission that day, relatively easy, but long and tiring. Natasha had come back home with Clint, Peter, Kate and Yelena all of them exhausted. The Alpha ended up falling asleep before she could shift.
Always the first to rise, Nat woke up surrounded by warmth. y/n had curled up on top of her, the omega’s furry head over her chest and a white paw with a silver cuff around her in a wolf hug. It always amazed her how small her omega was compared to them. y/n was about the size of a small husky, while Wanda was the same height on four paws as she was on two.
The widow shifted her head to see her alpha mate’s furry form surrounding her entirely. She could feel the love they shared surrounding her like their bodies. She’d never get tired of waking up to them every day no matter Their form.
Carefully she maneuvered herself out from under Y/n and over Wanda, making sure she didn’t wake her mates in the process. Today was an important day, she needed to get ready and since she fell asleep immediately following the mission yesterday, she needed a bath.
Soon after, Wanda grumbled at the absence of her alpha. Slowly she curled herself, tail to muzzle, around their omega. She’d let y/n sleep in a bit today, let her relax in the peaceful state where she was in, before waking her up. She was already thinking of different ways that she and Nat could coax y/n out of her wolf form before her appointment with Bruce. And after that, Nat said she had a surprise for their mate if she passed her medical exam, separate from the gift they had planned to talk about with her, they both wanted to talk to y/n about a collar to see if it was even something y/n wanted to begin with.
Wanda was admittedly curious about that secret surprise and though she could read minds she never did without consent. Her alpha had said she had a plan to help their omega feel more confident in her human form once she did shift back and was given the ‘all clear’ from medical. She couldn't wait to see what it was.
The sound of water running snapped the brunette alpha out of her thoughts. Then her tail wagged, she had an idea. “Tasha, don’t get in the shower, fill the tub..I have an idea”
Nat smirked, she might not have been the mind reader in their relationship but she definitely knew what her mate was thinking. “Well I’m definitely in”
Wanda chuckled to herself as she got the reply and heard the water turn off and switch locations quickly.
As the tub began to fill Wanda started nuzzling and licking y/n’s white fur, waking her up gently. She could let her sleep in tomorrow.
Y/n’s ear flicked as she awoke, taking in the sounds around her. Sluggishly she lifted her head towards her wolfy alpha . “ what time is it” she asked, hiding her face in the fur of Wanda’s chest.
“ It's time to wake up and take a bath, Dorogoy” she linked, as she continued to lick her omega between her ears.
“Nooo, I don’t want to” y/n complained with a whine, burying herself deeper into her alpha’s chest. “Don’t you love me?”
The brunette wolf nuzzled her mate till y/n’s blue eyes met her own “ of course I do, I love you and Tasha with everything I am.”
The omega tilted her head to the side “Then why are you waking me up at the butt crack of dawn?”
“Y/n it’s 9:30, not the ‘butt crack of dawn’, plus we have to get you ready for your appointment”
Y/n huffed out a breath, nosed her way under the covers, and laid back against her alpha. She poked her head out of the covers and gave Wanda the best puppy eyes she could muster.“ I don’t want to go, the appointment is stupid and sleeping is better.”
Wanda’s resolve was crumbling under the adorable gaze she was being given. Those eyes were one of her greatest weaknesses, but her plan was a solid one. Getting up and out of bed she shifted to her bare self and sauntered her way over to the bathroom door. Turning her head over her shoulder to meet her omega’s gaze she simply said, “okay, you can sleep, Nat and I are going to take a bubble bath together” then entered the bathroom.
Y/n spent two minutes staring at the place where her mate had been before snapping out of her daze with a shake of her head. Quickly she padded over to the bathroom where she found both her mates sitting naked in a mountain of bubbles lathering each other up with soap. The omega watched for a few minutes as slick hands slid along the wet exposed expanse of skin on display. The breathy moans and sighs of appreciation filling her ears and rendering her unable to function properly. What was she here to do again?
Nat knew this wasn’t exactly playing fair since she knew that neither her or Wanda would lay a hand on y/n till they were certain she was 100 percent okay, intimately speaking of course, but this appointment was essential and y/n’s health was of the utmost importance to them. Turning her head over her shoulder she flashed her signature smirk. “Oh I didn’t know you were up Detka, why don’t you come join us.”
The white wolf’s tail wagged as she made her way over to the counter where their sinks were. Standing up on her hind legs she grabbed the big bathing sponge in her mouth and headed over to the big tub in the room.
The omega had only successfully gotten her front paws in when the younger alpha stopped her “ ah ah y/n there isn’t room for all of us if you’re in your wolf form.” Making y/n whine. “ no no even your small wolf is too big with us all in here, plus, I don’t want all your fur making its way into places it shouldn’t be in.”
Natasha chuckled as their omega whined again tilting her furry head with the large sponge still in her mouth. She grabbed a handful of bubbles and placed them on the white wolf’s head like a crown. “She’s right Detka, why don’t you shift and I’ll wash your back for you”
Y/n hesitated before slowly dropping the sponge and shifting back into her human form resting her head on the edge of the tub and avoiding eye contact, bubbles still in place.
“There you are, Dorogoy” Wanda smiled pleased her plan had worked, y/n was finally back.
“I’m sorry” y/n whispered out. She knew she made her mates worry and she knew she’d always be safe with them around but she still wasn’t confident enough in her human form after getting hurt sometimes and she was ashamed of it. It was probably very insulting to her alphas when she wouldn’t shift back.
The older alpha lifted a sudsy hand to her omega’s chin and tilted her head so that blue eyes met forest green ones. “ you have nothing to apologize for Detka. We will always love and support you no matter what and we will always stand by you whether you’re on four legs or two. We want you to feel comfortable healing however you need too, plus we all heal faster in our wolf forms and I for one can’t wait till you feel one hundred percent again.” Nat cupped her hand to y/n cheek and slowly drew closer, giving her little mate time to pull away. When she didn’t pull away the widow stopped a hair’s breadth away from the lips she’d missed so much, letting her omega make the final move.
Y/n connected their lips letting the feeling of love pour into her. Her alpha was making sure she knew she was loved and safe in her arms. This kiss wasn’t consumed by arousal or lust, it wasn’t demanding and insistent. It was tender and soft, filled with utter understanding and an all encompassing love that made her melt into the body infront of her as slick arms wrapped around her and carefully carried her into the warm welcoming water of the tub as another set of arms made their way around her too.As the kiss ended with her first alpha, her second gently shifted her head back so that she could also relish in the feeling of their shares kiss. Wanda’s kiss was the same, full of love and acceptance yet unique and completely her own. As the kiss ended y/n rested her head against her redhead alpha’s chest enjoying the serenity and comfort of her alphas’ embrace, of their skin on hers, of their hearts beating as one. She was safe here between them. This was home.
