[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]

Comments

[mtherfcknmonster]

[ As always, Kevin and Andrew have a different view of things. But they intersect with enough of those things that this works. Though he should be prepared for a fight if they ever get to the topic of being his. Or any variations of the sort. Andrew hasn't worked through his own traumas enough for that yet.

He leans over to take a look, then sets Neil's caller ID as the puppy picture and Kevin's as the bunny, just as the waitress comes back with their drinks. Andrew contemplates showing her how ridiculous Kevin looks, but this picture is just for them and he wants to keep it that way.

He doesn't even look at her as she sets his drink down, though he does glare at her when she starts apologizing for earlier.]

[ Neil is too busy smiling at his pictures to even notice the waitress coming back, then looks through the pre-loaded apps, finding the camera and testing it out. ]

There's so much stuff on here. How do we know which other apps we need? Where's the ears filters one?

[mtherfcknmonster]

[ Andrew snags his drink when Kevin threatens to drink it and sucks some of it down as well, then goes back to his phone things.

If he doesn't want his stressful boyfriends, he can just go be with that boring girl!

He takes a picture of Kevin downing his drink. ]

Before and after.

[mtherfcknmonster]

Before and after you get drunk.

[Andrew is not even a little bit sorry! He then turns his camera on Neil and takes a picture of him trying to figure out how to download Snapchat, eyebrows furrowed and the phone way too close to his face, as if he can find his apps better if he just looks inside the phone.

They're both idiots and he hates them a lot!]

Help him before he goes blind.

[1hundred]

You can if you want to. I'm not drinking, I can drive.

[In case they want to. It's fine!

He doesnt' even notice Andrew taking his picture! But he sighs when Kevin takes his phone, leaning over the table a little to see what he's showing him. This might take a while for him to learn. iPhones are harder than Exy in his opinion!]

Oh.... okay. Wow. So all of these things are stuff I can put on my phone?

[mtherfcknmonster]

I can figure it out on my own. You do not have to teach me anything.

[Stubborn as ever, though he does lean in and catch bits of what Kevin is showing Neil!]

Oh, I found the games.

[1hundred]

It's definitely faster.

[Stop being so stubborn, Andrew! Efficient is definitely important.

Cue the look of wonder of Neil's face when Kevin shows him the Exy games!!]

Whoa wait... there are Exy games on here?! Oh my god. This is cool. Andrew, look!

[Andrew looks more unimpressed than usual at that revelation and Neil just smiles brightly]

[mtherfcknmonster]

I can deal with ads, I just want to play candy crush.

[He is so unimpressed with the Exy games, they have no idea! (they do, they really do)]

That is beyond even being junkies. I have nothing to say to the two of you.

[He absolutely will not play them! (but he might try it out one time on Neil's phone. Maybe)]

[1hundred]

Yeah, like with your teeth.

[Neil snickers softly. He thought it was funny! He also thinks Andrew's comments about them being junkies is amusing, and probably accurate. Exy phone games, he never thought he'd see the day.]

He's just pretending to be allergic to the word Exy.

[mtherfcknmonster]

[Andrew's unimpressed look lifts just a little bit, pleased with that comparison. He would make a good Bond villain, he thinks. ]

Good. Remember who you are dealing with.

[Bond villain! Who will now drink his vodka and play some games.]

Agreed.

[1hundred]

[ Least scary Bond villain. Besides, Andrew is more like actual James Bond, protecting everyone, ready and willing to kick ass for them.

Definitely the most attractive. ]

I don't think anyone can forget. But you're definitely not the villain of the story.

[He's half paying attention to email things and half paying attention to Andrew. The usual]

[mtherfcknmonster]

You only think that because your villains have been so much worse.

[ As have his. But he knows he's not one of the good guys. Or, he doesn't think he is, anyway.

Somehow they always seem to balance each other out. Kevin says stupid things and Neil brings things back on track, Neil says stupid things and Kevin brings him back on track. Both of them bring Andrew back on track? Maybe. ]

What do we even need email for?
