Ough im still thinking about omega!reader who makes the world's shittiest nest, but this time with nikolai....
Imagine how distraught nikolai is when you finally feel safe enough to show him your nest, and it's just...three blankets. You're smiling proudly, heat tilted up and waiting to soak in all that delicious alpha praise, and nik is cycling through the stages of grief.
He makes sure to praise and scent you, of course, he doesn't want his sweet omega to withdraw. But after that he makes it his mission to fix your...nest situation. No mate of his will go without comfort, not after everything he's seen.
At first, he thinks you just don't have enough materials. So he hands over practically his entire den for you to use. Clothes, underwear, blankets, pillows. Anything you could need.
And yet...your nest is as flat and uncoordinated as before. You're sprawled out over the pile, purring in contentment, and nik is wondering where your safety walls or snack hide is.
Is it technically unconventional for an alpha to build his omegas nest? Sure. Does nikolai, the literal war criminal, care? Absolutely not.
Which is how nik ends up building your nest while you sit and purr in the center. It's not all bad, this is just another form of providing, and it makes his instincts purr in delight.
Afterwards, you both curl up in the nest, warm and safe. Nik doesn't mind that you need some extra help, he loves you either way.
