Jeff moaned, clawing at Nicks back as his husband rolled his hips, groaning quietly.
"Daddy?"
They froze, Nick rolling away after a moment with a breathy chuckle, whispering "Sorry" in Jeffs ear before peeking above the covers at their daughter.
"Wh-what is it honey?"
Jeff sighed heavily, panting as he reached out to his left, tugging a pair of pyjama bottoms out of his bedside drawer and pulling them on as he listened to the hushed conversation.
"Monsters."
He looked up at the word, seeing his daughters eyes wide as she clutched her bear close to her chest. Turning his head, he saw Nick looking at him with a tiny smile. "Under the bed?"
She nodded her head, reaching a hand out to her fathers.
Jeff slid out of the bed, crouching and taking her hand, kissing it softly. "Show me where, sweetheart."
Lily nodded, pouting softly as she tugged her parents out of the door, padding along the corridor to her bedroom.
Nick leant down and kissed the top of her head gently, murmuring in a hushed voice "Daddy will check under the bed and I'll check in the wardrobe, ok?"
She mumbled an "ok", sticking her thumb in her mouth. Jeff smiled softly at his husband before stepping into her bedroom, kneeling down and grabbing the flashlight from the windowsill, silently thanking Nick for always leaving on there. He switched it on, flashing it beneath the bed and calling out to his daughter "Nothing here other than Barbie Dolls and odd socks, Lilypad." He sat back up and smiled over his shoulder at her as Nick placed a hand on her shoulder, gently moving her as he slid into the room and took the flashlight, placing a light kiss on Jeffs cheek before pulling the wardrobe door open.
"Nothing in he—ARGH!"
"Ahh!"
A high pitched scream came from inside the cupboard, as Nick leapt back, Lily burst into tears and Jeff ran to his husbands side, brandishing a plastic teapot he'd grabbed from the shelf.
"I'll protect you! …wait, Lou?"
A tiny face peeped out from behind the wardrobe door, eyes wide in fear. "D-daddy?"
Nick, rubbing his ass where he'd fallen, looked up in surprise, letting out a small bubble of laughter. "Louis, what are you doing in your sisters wardrobe?"
"Monsters in mine."
Jeff slapped his palm up against his forehead, groaning and leaning against the wall with a quiet chuckle as he looked down at Nick. "Better get the flashlight dear"
"Fuck you"
"DAD!"
"DADDY!"
"Sorry!"
