[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]

[Neil holds his phone out to show Kevin his sour face! ]

You were so affronted. Just admit it. You couldn't believe Andrew knew your email address! You were like: but WHY. That's the face.

[mtherfcknmonster]

[Andrew thinks it's mostly an annoyed face. He sees this one a lot!]

Classic Kevin face.

[1hundred]

[Kevin's annoyed face has been making less of an appearance lately, but it still comes out strong when it does!]

It's a pretty good face.

[mtherfcknmonster]

[Andrew rolls his eyes and grabs his drink, sucking it down]

The two of you are shameless with your flirting.

Stop giving him a big head.

[1hundred]

[Neil gives them an amused look when Andrew goes quiet at that and he kicks Kevin's foot back under the table]

I like it big.

[Andrew facepalms]

What? It's a good head!

[mtherfcknmonster]

[ He doesn't know what to make of flattery, so he'd rather just say nothing at all. He wont deny it either, because he's not in the business of telling people what to do.

He's glad for Neil's clueless comments, because they distract, but he still has to facepalm because jesus christ, Neil.

He almost wishes Kevin was drinking, though. That would have made it even more amusing. ]

Unbelievable.

[1hundred]

I wasn't... talking about that.

[Neil nearly sputters when they go on and on about it. Kevin's innocent look is not all that innocent, no]

You two are the unbelievable ones, not me.

[mtherfcknmonster]

[ He juts his thumb at himself. ]

Innocent.

[He's not innocent, but it really is Neil's fault!]

You have the dirtiest mind between the three of us.

[1hundred]

My mind isn't dirty. I was actually talking about your big head. Which is even bigger now.

[If he was the type to stick his tongue out, he would be doing that right now, but Neil Josten does not do such things. Still, they get the look that goes right along with it, before Neil goes to find Snapchat in his apps to download. Payback will be so many bunny and cat ears for both of them]

Anyway, see if I talk about heads ever again.

[mtherfcknmonster]

Are you sure you don't want a drink?

[he asks Neil, for putting up with Kevin (both of them) course. ]

He will never be as dirty as you are.

[1hundred]

I don't want a drink. Maybe next time.

[Don't worry, Kevin. He's good!]

I am not accepting that challenge, no way. Kevin is the Queen all around.

[mtherfcknmonster]

[ There is no way he would leave his car in the mall parking lot over night! He'd make Nicky come get it, if it came down to that. ]

That crown definitely belongs to Neil.

I still think there should be a challenge. Renee can be the judge.

[1hundred]

Do not drag Renee into this.

[Andrew, no! He doubts Kevin would ever expose any of this dirtiness to anyone else]

Not that any of them think you're innocent. I mean, I imagine they don't.
