House

Rieto lied in bed awake. It was almost morning, and he would have to wake up Minato soon. They guy could sleep through anything sometimes... Rieto sat up in the bed and looked at Minato, sleeping. The site of him sleeping made him smile. It brought a little relief to Rieto's troubled mind. He was stuck thinking about the kid who came up to the front door of their apartment yesterday and was now sleeping only two doors down from them. Rieto had to get him into high school... and then buy clothes for him, find out what food he likes... It was going to be a lot of work... and Rieto didn't know how to take care of a kid... he and Minato hadn't even talked about it yet. Rieto was going to asked after he graduated college... but he still had two years to go. The whole thing made his head swirl.

The bed gave a small, creaking sound as Rieto shifted slightly. Lazily, almost too tired because of the night's activities to open his eyes, Minato gave a small, soft grunt "Hmm, 'to-chan" Wrapping an arm around his boyfriend's waist and pulled him closer, the older man gave the other one a sloppy kiss and muttered, already feeling a headache coming "Wha' time is it, 'to-chan?" Pulling the blanket to cover their naked forms, Minato groaned in a scratchy voice "Ge' back ta sleep... it's too 'ly for thi'..." Closing his eyes and snuggled closer to the comfortable source of warmth next to him, Minato let out a mighty yawn and closed his eyes, breathed in and out deeply, trying to sleep again. Dang it! He didn't like waking up early.

Rieto tensed, feeling Minato's strong arms wrap around his thin waist, and let a small yelp as he pulled him down and kissed him. It was a little shocking. Rieto thought the guy was asleep... but clearly not anymore. "Sorry Mina..." He whispered, kissing his boyfriend's forehead. "It's almost time to wake up anyways. You need to shower before going to work." Rieto ran his small hand through the thick black hair of his partner and sighed. Rieto was not going to let Minato go to work smelling like sweat. Yeah he wasn't sweating now, but he was last night...

Volos, who hadn't slept at all, sat on the floor, staring at the door. It wasn't like he was waiting for them, oh no, he did not want to deal with them until he was actually rested. No, he hoped that this was a dream and that he would be in babushka's house again, waking to her warm cooking. But as the sun shone on him, he knew it was final. Another person, the second person that he had truly loved like family was dead. He wanted to laugh, cry, scream, do something to prove to himself that he was actually hurting. That he was missing her. He pulled the small bag he was given and pulled out Lucifer, flopping over and laying half under the bed. He stared at the floor then, one hand petting the soft ox, the other gripping it against his chest. Maybe they would forget him, or give him back up. It was what he wanted anyways. He never understood why people wanted to keep him.

A kiss was pressed on his forehead and Minato gave another grunt, apparently didn't want to wake up just yet. "Sorry Mina...", Rieto said "It's almost time to wake up anyways. You need to shower before going to work." Hearing his boyfriend's sigh, Minato opened his eyes and whispered lovingly into Rieto's ears "Alright, 'to-chan...As you wish" Yawning loudly, Minato grudgingly pushed the cover off him and sat up, blinking tiredly. Looking at his lover's beautiful face, Minato cocked his head to one side and asked, a little worried "You look a bit restless, Rieto-chan... Is it because of that walking disaster two doors down?" Standing up, Minato took out a large towel and his suit, prepared to take a bath "Troublesome... Can't we just find someone else to take care of him?" His lips curled upward into a playful smile as Minato, using both free hands, came over to the bed and picked his boyfriend up easily like he was holding a baby "No one takes away what is mine, right 'to-chan? And now, you, me, bath, together" Grinning, Minato tightened his hold to prevent his lover from escaping and took him to their bathroom.

Rieto smiled, feeling Minato's breath in his ear. He lay looking up at him as he sat up. The smile faded as Minato brought up the Volos. "... Is it because of that walking disaster two doors down?". Rieto couldn't help but look away from his boyfriend. He didn't hold an answer to his question... He opened his mouth the answer, but couldn't think of anything to say. "Troublesome... Can't we just find someone else to take care of him?" Rieto turned back to Minato and said a little frustrated, "You know we can't do that!" He so wasn't so much mad at anyone, but more of the situation. Rieto couldn't be mad at someone. Rieto was surprised when Minato lifted him like he was nothing. "...you, me, bath, together." Rieto struggle to get out of the sronge grip of his boyfriend. "No no no no no no. I need to go make everyone breakfast." He said jokingly with a small laugh. "Come on now. Put me down, you old fart!"

"Come on now. Put me down, you old fart!"

Volos sighed as he heard the other two awake. Slowly crawling from his spot under the bed, he placed Lucifer back into his bag and slowly began unpacking what little he had. A couple of large books that were his favorite, his small ceramic piano that set on his bed side and what few clothing he had. He looked at the large space in his room and frowned. What a piano, an electric keyboard or even a cat tree wouldn't do for the room. But he wasn't going to stay for long. He shook his head and stuck his head out the door, seeing no one. He slipped into the kitchen and found an apple. Near running back into his own room, he almost tripped and fell twice. He decided he needed to get some sleep soon so he sat on his bed.

"No no no no no no. I need to go make everyone breakfast. Come on now. Put me down, you old fart!" Chuckled lightly as he heard Rieto's protest, Minato pressed another firm kiss on his boyfriend's forehead and put him down "Alright, princess. As you wish...but I will get you back for that, you know" Leaving his lover in their shared bedroom, Minato walked into the bathroom and quickly bathed. Washing his hair, Minato closed his eyes and leaned against the wall slightly, resting his eyes for a moment 'You know we can't do that!' Rieto's voice kept ringing in his head and Minato whispered to no one but himself "I know, love... I know...but somehow, I don't want to lose you to that brat" Sighing, Minato stepped out of the bathroom and dried himself with a big, fluffy towel before putting on his suit. Tightening his tie, a thought suddenly appeared in Minato's mind and the young man let out a soft chuckle. Ah, he should probably do that. Messing up with his tie and pretended that he did not know how to do it, Minato walked into the kitchen and gave his boyfriend a whine, ignored the walking disaster completely " 'to-chan, princess...help me with the tie, will you?" Giving his newest burden a quick glare, Minato pursed his lips 'Just pretend he is not here and I'll be fine'.

"Not a girl, Mina!" Rieto shouted as the tall man left the room. Rieto dressed himself in pajama pants and a t-shirt before leaving the room, a sweet smile taking it's place on his face. He left the room as Minato took his shower and headed into Volos' room. He sighed, seeing him. He looked tired. Rieto knew that look. It was the same one Minato would make sometimes when coming back from work. "Volos. I was thinking to go buy you some things like clothes or whatever. Come out when you are ready. I don't have classes until the afternoon." He said in a kind voice and headed into the kitchen to cook his lover some breakfast. Rieto put on an apron before he started the coffee and began making eggs and bacon. Rieto turned to Minato as he exited their room and let out a small giggle as he saw the tie. " 'to-chan, princess...help me with the tie, will you?" Rieto turned to the man and played with the tie until it was nice and tight. Rieto placed his hands on his chest and laughed. "What would you do without me?"
