[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

[ His interest is solely on Neil and Kevin now. No else exists. No one else ever will. That's just how it is and how it's going to be. Kevin's behavior doesn't actually bother Andrew. It does needle at him a bit, but a lot of things Kevin does needle at him for various reasons.

He also knows it's mostly himself, because of how he feels about himself and because of just how all around wholesome Jeremy Knox is. (he'll get over that eventually) ]

Kevin is definitely weird. Pay and let's get this over with.

[1hundred]

Not your taste in clothes, I hope.

[Neil smirks, heading over to the counter with them. Andrew hands back of course. He doesn't want to deal with the waitress again, or glare at her. Neil behaves himself and then they all head out of the restaurant, phones in hand]

Thanks, Kevin.

[mtherfcknmonster]

His taste in clothes are passable.

[They're just fine, he's giving Kevin shit, because why not. He takes a photo of the two of them also being little shits to each other]

Of course.

[He starts walking toward the store he likes]

[1hundred]

Clothes are clothes. But I mean, you two do look good all the time.

[Even Andrew in his all black. He wears it well. He wears his hoodie well, too.

He doesnt' notice the photo, but he does also know exactly where Andrew is headed. More black clothes. ]

Just not so much mesh this time, ok?

[mtherfcknmonster]

What is wrong with mesh? You wore it well.

[He's giving a compliment. Better take it, Josten. By now, he should definitely know the difference between hanging out clothes and going out clothes!

Andrew glances at Kevin, quirking an eyebrow]

That was what?

[1hundred]

Mesh clothes are different from regular clothes. They... have lots of holes in them.

[He looks between the two of them, a small blush spreading up across his face that he tries to squash pretty quick. He's not a blusher. He doesn't want to start being one now.]

In the mesh?

[mtherfcknmonster]

You can feel free to say what you were going to say. If you weren't watching Neil, you would be blind.

[But he's glad they're together now and it wasn't some random watching Neil, thinking he looked good. Even if Kevin wasn't with them then, it's not like Andrew would be upset that Kevin was checking him out]

I can wear something mesh as well if that would make you feel better. What about you, Kevin?

[1hundred]

[ Neil feels a little clueless about this conversation! As he usually does when it comes to these topics. So Andrew was watching him, Kevin was watching him and he's still really trying not to blush. ]

I..... it...

I don't know what's happening right now, but if you're both going to wear mesh, then go for it.

[mtherfcknmonster]

Of course you were watching.

And of course we are all getting dressed up. It's not that confusing, Neil.

[He nudges Neil toward the store, then heads for the back as well, looking through the racks. At least this time he doesn't start throwing clothes on the floor, but there's still time]

Find anything?

[1hundred]

[ neil just can't believe the two of them. well no, that's not true either. He doesn't want everyone to be watching. Maybe just Kevin and Andrew. Even then, he'd rather they just didn't watch him all night. ]

I didn't think the hoodies were overkill.

[And he knows Andrew likes matching]

But you guys can pick out whatever.

[mtherfcknmonster]

We will have to order bigger sizes.

[Just for you, Kevin. The hoodie thing doesn't bother him at all, but he knows that with some things, they have different concerns and priorities. It's fine.

Andrew glances over at what Kevin picks out.]

Not bad.

[1hundred]

I wouldn't mind that. Maybe you can order us a slightly smaller size too.

[Neil grins. It would only be for them, of course. He knows they can't wear these things out and about everywhere, but still. He likes the idea of it.

He looks over at what Kevin picks out and considers it for a moment.]

I can try it on. It would probably look better on Andrew, though.
