[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]

[ Andrew was definitely not the teammates caught arguing kind of worked up, but now that they've separated and he's tried his clothes on, he's over it. Better that way. No reason to be stripping Kevin down at the mall.

When he's done, he heads out and over to where Neil is.]

We are getting all of it.

[1hundred]

Andrew says we're getting all of it.

[He wonders if Andrew heard their conversation about Roland, but it doesn't seem like it. Maybe they can talk about it later. for now though, he's done trying on clothes]

Even the PVC pants.

[mtherfcknmonster]

I already said that you weren't going to.

[As if he'd have Kevin walk around Eden's in a pair of pants like that. But he should still have them. One never knows when they might be necessary]

What you are wearing now is good for Friday.

[mtherfcknmonster]

I have pretty much already been, all this time, so yes.

[Kevin has never really objected to it, so it's been fine. He's never pulled rank like with the PVC though. But what KEvin is wearing now? Andrew like that too. Very much.]

I would never make you look like an idiot. You do that all on your own.

[He's never had this issue over clothes before- not until Andrew and Kevin. He supposes that's a good thing. A normal thing that people do. Or, as normal as the three of them get, anyway.]

I mean, I'm pretty okay with voting for Andrew being in charge of pants.

[mtherfcknmonster]

I could not find a pair small enough. We will have to look elsewhere some other time.

[And they definitely will, Kevin can be sure of that. Andrew can still use his imagination right now, though]

You are lucky I did not take any pictures with my new phone.

[1hundred]

See, sometimes it's good to be smaller.

[He laughs softly, his eyes still on Kevin. Kevin definitely knows how to put on a fashion show. So Neil pulls his phone out and gets a pic of this outfit, at least]

We'll have to work on the rest later.

[mtherfcknmonster]

[Now it's Andrew's turn to roll his eyes a little, watching this mini photoshoot go down. ]

The rest of the outfits, idiot. You said you did not mind. That means you have to put the PVC back on later.

[1hundred]

[What else would Neil possibly mean??]

By you trying them on and taking pictures? I don't know, isn't that what we got these phones for?

You can change out, by the way. I think I got enough of this outfit to fill my phone.

[mtherfcknmonster]

What else could you possibly be doing, leaning on everything.

[Like he doesn't notice it. It's hard not to notice. This has been Some Day]

You are giving him an even bigger head. As much as I do not want to get back into that conversation.

[1hundred]

You pulled us out of bed to get phones!

[Which he is perfectly happy and grateful for, he really is]

You look good in a lot of stuff. That's just how it is.

[mtherfcknmonster]

I cannot believe you are even arguing this. The entire thing was your idea. You are always the last person out of bed.

[Kevin is an asshole! Good thing Andrew likes him. A lot.

Andrew just assumed Kevin and Neil are flirting again.]

Are we done now?
