[Weekends have been different since Kevin has been with Andrew and Neil and now that they're sharing the same bed, Andrew expects it to be even more different. Mainly, getting up has been harder, because Kevin never really wants to get his ass out of bed once he's in it, and this both amuses and frustrates Andrew- he's not entirely sure why. It's not like he cares if they make it to class or practice.

Andrew is always awake first, because he needs to be, but sometimes he thinks Neil wakes up before him and just waits for him to wake up before opening his eyes. It sounds like one of those stupid things Neil would do for him, to make him feel safer (and it works), but more often than not, Andrew is just too light of a sleeper to stay sleeping for too long.

This Saturday, he really is the first one awake, Neil sleeping next to him, curled into Kevin's side. Kevin is snoring softly (okay, maybe it's just heavy breathing but Andrew will swear on everything that it's snoring), his limbs sprawled out everywhere, one arm under Neil's neck, reaching out to almost touch Andrew's shoulder, the other above his head. One day, Kevin is going to end up on the floor, and Andrew won't feel bad about it. But today he seems firmly planted in bed and Andrew watches them sleep. He can do all the staring he wants and not get called out for it. It's images like these he wants to keep in his head so he has something to focus on when things get bad. He has something real to come back to, though he's not sure he deserves any of this at all.

It's when those thoughts start filtering in, that Neil stirs, turning from Kevin a bit and cracking his eyes open to look at Andrew. Neil gives him a small, sleepy smile when he sees that Andrew is awake, just like he always does and just like always, Andrew thinks it's horribly unfair and stupid that Neil could look this good as soon as he opens his eyes]

Morning.

[Neil says to him quietly after what what Andrew can tell is Neil quickly assessing to see if Andrew is in an okay place, if he had any nightmares or is unusually tense. Andrew doesn't return the greeting, but he reaches out and brushes his fingers through Neil's messy locks. Neil's smile grows wider and then he turns his head to look at Kevin again]

He snores.

[Andrew wants to make sure Neil knows that, and Neil laughs softly and shakes his head. ]

No he doesn't.

[Andrew lets out a soft huff, but tugs Neil forward and kisses him, because all these laughs and smiles so early in the morning, they're too good. Kevin's hand is between them, but Neil pulls it down a little so they can kiss easier, but he keeps his hand in Kevin's, curling his fingers around his]

[ Well, creepy should keep Kevin awake, so that's something else he can work with. Andrew just sits there and watches Kevin wrestle the towel off of his head with much amusement. ]

You asked.

[mtherfcknmonster]

[Andrew ducks, but it still hits the side of his head and he shoves it away. ]

Same difference. Besides, you were not specific.

[mtherfcknmonster]

[ Well, at least they can both find amusement in wet towels. And Kevin is awake, so Andrew is doing his job very well. ]

Clearly, otherwise we would not be having this conversation.

[He grabs the towel again and rubs at his ear. This water will not come out and it's annoying him now]

[mtherfcknmonster]

Nothing.

[Leave him alone, he realizes he probably looks like an idiot, don't point it out, Kevin Day!]

There is water in my ear.

[mtherfcknmonster]

[ Andrew stops rubbing at his ear and looks at Kevin as if he's unsure about this method as well. It sounds fake and maybe like it will make him look like even more of an idiot. ]

I have no idea what you are talking about. Show me first.

[mtherfcknmonster]

[Andrew watches him and he's pretty sure he can probably do that himself. He hesitates when Kevin says he'll do it for him, but it's fine. It's not a big deal. He scoots over closer to Kevin and moves the towel from his ear. ]

If you make me go deaf or get the water deeper in there I will stab you.

[mtherfcknmonster]

[ He better not make the water go deeper! If this is how he has to go phone shopping he will be the worst person to shop with in the history of bad shoppers! ]

Yes. Do what you have to do.

[mtherfcknmonster]

Fine. Whatever works.

[And it does feel weird, but Kevin's hand makes a pretty good suction and when he pumps his palm against his ear, he can feel the warm water coming out of his ear. He scrunches his face up, but keeps his head tilted]

I can feel the water coming out, it's working.

[mtherfcknmonster]

[ Well Kevin is the one who offered! If he wants romance, he can go find it with Nicky, or whatever. Though he's not sure what Nicky finds romantic would actually be romantic either.

Besides, this horrible thing that has happened to Andrew is fixed now! That should be romantic enough. ]

Do not wipe your hand on my shoulder.

[He grabs the towel and flings it at Kevin. There's your thank you.]

[mtherfcknmonster]

[ Well then, this is what Kevin is stuck with!]

I just washed my hair, you heathen.

[He gives Kevin a look, rubbing at his ear just to make sure it's alright now]

Where did you learn that?

[mtherfcknmonster]

[ Andrew will never, ever think of this sort of thing.

He looks down at Kevin. He should have known. It just seems like such a simple, childish thing to learn from a Raven. Then again, Andrew decides that's putting too much stock in those idiots. ]

Did you learn how?

[mtherfcknmonster]

[ He's not!

Andrew doesn't feel the need to differentiate between Ravens. Kevin was a different story. Somehow, he's always been different. ]

Insufferable idiots. I am surprised they let you learn anything at all.

[mtherfcknmonster]

[Different from the Ravens is a good thing, he doesn't want Kevin to ever forget that. ]

Well. Yes. You still are. But not in the same way.

[He nods, then reaches out and runs his fingers lightly across Kevin's hand]

I can teach you how to hotwire a car if you want to know how.
