Kiku opens his eyes slowly, coming face to face with a tough chest. He wiggles in his spot, feeling the noticeably squishier chest behind him. He doesn't like sleeping in the middle most days, but last night he made an exception. He sort of regrets that now. Carefully, and slowly, he sits up between Ludwig and Feliciano. He smiles down at both of his adorable lovers. Gently, he swings his legs out to get over Feliciano, choosing him as a safer bet since he's a heavy sleeper.
After putting on more decent clothes, he pads down to the kitchen. Normally Ludwig would be the one to make breakfast, being the one that gets up earliest on most days. Kiku smiles to himself, cracking eggs in a pan and putting some sausages next to them. Ludwig likes more traditional breakfasts. Feliciano on the other hand.. Kiku puts a few pieces of bread in the toaster, and some ham on the skillet. The bubblier likes breakfast sandwiches.
"You're up early," Kiku peeks over his shoulder at Ludwig yawning in the doorway. The buff blonde runs a hand through his hair, his chest exposed. Kiku turns his head away quickly, still uneasy with exposed skin though he has seen it many times before. Feliciano is very open with his body.
"Just a little," Kiku replies to the taller. Ludwig comes to stand beside him, their arms barely brushing together. Kiku is grateful. Physical contact is something he needs to warm up to and Ludwig respect that boundary. Kiku finishes making their tiny breakfast and places the plates of food on the table. He and Ludwig sit down together, enjoying the quiet company of each other. Ludwig runs a hand through his hair on his way to the bathroom for a shower and Kiku cleans up the plates. Feliciano's sandwich in the microwave to stay warm.
Kiku hears the water running and smiles to himself. He's been living with the two for about a year now. It's made his quiet life so much more colorful and exciting. He's just drying his arms when Ludwig comes back into the kitchen, hair still damp and his easy going Sunday clothes on.
"I'm going to go take Aston for a walk, want to come with?" Ludwig asks, pulling on his shoes. Kiku glances at the clock and sighs happily. He walks over and wiggles his feet inside his shoes, using Ludwig to brace himself. The two start their walk, going slowly, watching a the black and white pup runs all over, sniffing everything in sight. Kiku giggles at the small creature. It had been a birthday gift for Ludwig just a month ago.
"Aston no," Ludwig commands when the dog start to eat some grass. Already trained better than expected, the dog perks up at his name, turning to Ludwig and tilting his head to the side. Kiku links his arm with Ludwig's in enjoyment. Ludwig tries to hide the soft tinge of pink on his cheeks. They take a slow walk around the block, not needing to go far for such a small dog. When they get back to the house, it's still quiet.
"I wonder how long Feli will sleep if we let him," Kiku muses once his shoes are off. Ludwig sighs and kneels down to scratch Aston under his chin.
"Till two in the afternoon probably," Ludwig stands and goes to sit at the table to read the morning paper. Kiku joins him with his laptop. It's never too early for the computer. Besides, there's news on there. Sometimes. Maybe.
Ludwig gets fed up and wakes Feliciano at noon. The tinier of the two complains, but he smiles brightly when Kiku warms up his breakfast styled sandwich. He munches happily at the table with the other two.
"Ah Kiku you should breakfast more often. Not that Luddy isn't good, but you're cooking is a different kind of good," Kiku blushes at the compliment. Ludwig rolls his eyes but a smile is threatening to make it's appearance on his face.
"What should we do today?" Feliciano asks, bouncing in his seat, looking between the two excitedly. Kiku glances at Ludwig who just gives Feliciano a confused face.
"We don't have to do anything," He says simply. This causes Feliciano to pout though. He crosses his arms over his chest like an oversized child. Kiku smiles at the action.
"Maybe we can take Aston to the dog park," he offers quietly. He tries to hide his smirk as Feliciano squeals in delight and goes to get dressed in decent clothes for the day. Ludwig is holding his paper tightly and Kiku knows he's got him hooked. Ludwig would do anything to see dogs being happy little pups. He's such a sap for the four legged furry things.
Feliciano comes back in a flurry of movements, running about to get water bottles and snacks and toys and the leash and the extra leash and Ludwig has to pick him up off the ground to get him to take a deep breath. Feliciano giggles at goes to put half his stash back. Kiku holds his own water bottle as they make their way out the door. Ludwig is carrying little Aston in his arm, not wanting to tire out the pup before he can play.
There are other people at the park thankfully, giving Aston proper play mates. The trio sit at a small table and watch their little dog run around and trip over himself, getting covered in grass and dirt. Kiku smiles at the exasperated sigh Ludwig gives. He knows he will have to be the one to give the pooch a bath. Feliciano will try to help but he'll just end up covered in bubbles and soaking wet while kiku dutifully takes pictures on the sidelines.
When Aston is just laying on the ground panting from having chased Feliciano around, Ludwig decides it's time to go home. He carries the dog over his shoulder.
"He's so cute~" Feliciano muses. Kiku isn't sure if the bubbly one is talking about the dog or Ludwig, but he agrees either way. Ludwig wants to wash the dog right away when they get home but Kiku stops him.
"Let him sleep a little," he tells the blonde. Ludwig sighs and lays down on the couch in the living room. Clearly this is an invitation. Feliciano skips over and curls into Ludwig's chest happily. Kiku goes over too, but not before getting his computer. He sits at the base of the couch near the two. Feliciano reaches out a hand and places with his hair from the back. Kiku doesn't mind.
Just as he predicted, Feliciano ends up soaking wet with Aston happily getting warm in a fluffy towel, all captured on film.
"Feliciano can you please not do that?" Ludwig is begging but it's a little late for that. Feliciano already has his hands filled with bubbles and is placing it on Aston's tiny head. He giggles and sputters at the dog when he barks happily.
"Aw but Ludwiiiggggg," Feliciano whines, taking another handful of bubbles and plopping it right down on Ludwig's head this time. He covers his mouth with his hands to not laugh too loud. Ludwig sighs and scoops the bubbles off him, giving an exasperated look to Kiku by the front door, a camera in his hands.
"You will be of no help will you?" Ludwig deadpans. Kiku just smiles at him, the little red light signaling the camera is rolling. He steps off the porch to come closer to the other two on the lawn, semi-soaked in water trying to clean the over energized puppy. Though Ludwig is doing more of the cleaning. Feliciano is doing more of the distracting.
Ludwig manages to get Aston to settle down so he can run a sudsy rag over the puppy. He barks more, not at all afraid of bath time. He tries to climb up the bath time bucket to lick Ludwig's face but the blonde moves him away before he can get too close.
"No, you're wet," Ludwig tells the animal like he might be able to respond with something other than another bark. Feliciano giggles and splashes the water, making Aston a little restless. The dog slips out of Ludwig's hands and lands in the water, making it shoot up. Feliciano laughs and wipes it off his face while Ludwig sighs again.
"Feliciano," Kiku says softly, not necessarily scolding the other. Feliciano smiles up at him giggling once more.
"Kiku you should help too!" The brunette demands. Kiku shakes his head, taking a precautionary step away from the water bucket.
"I'm afraid I would just get in the way," He says. Feliciano pouts while Ludwig starts to re-lather the tiny pup.
"Just like someone else," Ludwig mutters. It takes a minute before Feliciano understands. His jaw drops comically, then his expression morphs into one of mischief. He cups his hand under the water and with a quick jerk splashes Ludwig in the face. Kiku covers his mouth with a hand to keep himself quiet. Ludwig slowly looks up from his task to see Feliciano with his face bright red in trying to not laugh. He doesn't succeed. Feliciano falls onto his back, rolling in the grass laughter pouring out of him. Ludwig continues on his job, quickly rinsing and pulling Aston out of the bucket. He swaddles the puppy in a towel and passes him off to Kiku. Kiku raises an eyebrow at him, then smiles when Ludwig picks up the soapy bucket and pours it all over Feliciano.
"EEK!" The brunette scrambles on the ground, trying to get away from the water. He stands up, flicking his arms down hopelessly trying to get water off him. Ludwig stands with a smug expression on his face. He places the bucket back on the ground just in time to catch Feliciano's smirk.
"Ludwiiiiiig~" He coos. Ludwig tenses. He holds up his hands as Feliciano creeps forward.
"No. No no, Feliciano don't you-" his words are pushed out by Feliciano jumping into him, making him just as wet. Ludwig groans but lets the smaller cling to him. Kiku giggles softly.
"You two are adorable," He says shutting off the camera. Aston wiggles in his perch on Kiku's shoulder, wanting to join in the cuddle fest of the other two. Kiku passes off the dog to Ludwig just in time for Feliciano to hug him from behind.
"Kiku needs to get wet too!" He coos. Kiku hisses lightly at the cold pressure now on him. He takes a deep breath to relax, peeking over his shoulder at the bright smile Feliciano has on his face. He stiffens once more when Ludwig hugs him from the other side, completing their cuddle.
"You always have the camera it's not fairrr," Feliciano whines though he's not upset. Kiku laughs gently and snuggles into the two. They are interrupted by Aston pawing at their legs. Ludwig finishes drying the pup while Feliciano goes to change into warmer clothes. Kiku heads to his computer and downloads the video onto it. He's gotten into the habit of recording them doing silly things for the fun of it. It's nice to be able to look back and see them being happy together. Maybe at the end of the year he can put them together somehow, to see how far they've come.
"I'm making lunch!" Feliciano calls out through the house, though it is small and they can practically hear each other whisper on the other side. Ludwig waves his hand dismissively, showing he heard as he returns to his paperwork he abandoned earlier. Kiku settles into the couch to watch them. He smiles at Ludwig's seriousness, his eyebrows scrunched up and a hint of a scowl on his face. Feliciano is dancing around the kitchen, singing lightly to himself as he picks items out of the pantry to prepare. Kiku gets up from his spot to place a small kiss on Ludwig's head. The blonde sighs and relaxes, knowing it's Kiku's way of telling him to do so.
"Help me Kiku!" Feliciano syas, linking their arms together and pulling him farther into the kitchen. Kiku smiles and does as he's told. He chops a few veggies and times the pasta while Feliciano makes a sauce. When it's all prepared, Feliciano sets them up at the table.
"What should we do later today~" He muses aloud. Kiku 'hmms' quietly, chewing on his food. Ludwig smiles at him for a second.
"We don't have to do anything," He says. Feliciano whines at the answer, not wanting to be bored and wanting to do something fun before the week starts again. Kiku pauses in his meal, thinking of an idea but not fully having the confidence to outright say it.
"What are you thinking?" Ludwig suddenly asks him, peering over his paperwork to look at him. Kiku twitches in his seat.
"Kiku do you have an idea?" Feliciano leans in close, grabbing his hand and holding it tight. Kiku can feel his face getting warm. He tries to wave off his embarrassment.
"Well, we could, stay in, and cuddle," He says quietly. Feliciano's face brightens at the idea. He nods his head quickly.
"Oh that'd be so nice!" He cheers. Ludwig puts his papers down and smiles at them both.
"We do that every night," He states. Feliciano sticks his tongue out at the blonde, not having any of his party-pooper nonsense.
"Every night is a good night to cuddle" Feliciano says proudly. Kiku smiles at him, happy they accepted the idea even though it is a standard night for them. Ludwig finally starts to eat his food, nodding his head in agreement. Cuddles are always good.
Kiku is snuggling with Feliciano on the couch while Ludwig makes dinner for the night. It's how it works during the weekends. They each try to make a meal for the day. Kiku taps his computer, playing his game seriously. Feliciano is resting his head on Kiku's shoulder, saying silly comments and cheering him on. When Ludwig calls that food is ready, Kiku lets his character run into a wall and stay there. He also lets Feliciano drag him over to the dinner table where Ludwig has prepared food for them.
Only a few times does Feliciano try to pass off his steak to Aston underneath the table. Ludwig catches him, scolding him about proper dog diets. If Aston gets too spoiled by people food he won't eat his own regular food and then Feliciano will cry about him not eating. Kiku on the other hand is successful in giving Aston a small dollop of mashed potatoes while Ludwig is busy talking.
During clean up, Ludwig has to drag Feliciano away from the dishes so he doesn't get drenched in suds again, cause knowing Feliciano he would try to play with the bubbles once more. Kiku smiles at them playfully arguing in the front room. Ludwig has his arms crosses, an unimpressed face on while Feliciano has his hands on his hips face puffed up in mock anger. Of course it doesn't last long. Feliciano can't keep a straight face, bursting into laughter and clinging to Ludwig before he falls. Ludwig sighs and holds the hysterical brunette. He gives Kiku smile. Kiku smiles back.
After his hands are dried, Kiku heads into the living room to find Ludwig laying down on the couch with Feliciano spread across his chest. Kiku grabs his computer and sits on top of them, flinging his legs over Feliciano's back.
"Kiku come lay dooown~" Feliciano whines out. Kiku smiles down at him and shakes his head.
"Not now," He says, returning to his game. Feliciano pouts but doesn't say much more. Ludwig reaches up his hand and Kiku takes it, threading their fingers together. He reaches over and puts on the cooking channel, finding it to be a favorite between the three of them. Feliciano is critiquing the way the chefs cook, while Ludwig makes notes for a dinner in the future. Kiku isn't entirely paying attention, his focus mostly on his game, though it is trickier with one of his hands a little occupied. He scowls at the computer.
"If it's bugging you, we don't have to hold hands," Ludwig says, not even turning away from the TV screen. Kiku grimaces. HE puts his computer aside and snuggles in closer to the other two much to Feliciano enjoyment.
"This is more important," Kiku says. He doesn't miss the way the corners of Ludwig's mouth twitch up. It's very hard to miss the way Feliciano turns his head to give Kiku a bright smile at the words. Feliciano mocks the people on the screens, earning him soft laughs from Kiku and a few roll of the eyes from Ludwig until the blonde decides that they've stayed up late enough with Feliciano's yawning and excessive giggles. It's a small scramble to get off the couch, but they manage it.
Kiku brushes his short hair in the large bathroom mirror. He tilts his head back and forth watching the strands fall in different patterns. He's the last one to use the bathroom for the night. Ludwig pushes Feliciano to going first, this way when the brunette is done, Ludwig can go and clean up his mess. Kiku wait patiently for both their shenanigans to be over with before he moves in to take his time. He changes his day shirt into an overly large night shirt that he may or may not have taken from Ludwig.
He exits the bathroom to the sound of giggling. Feliciano is sprawled out on their big bed holding Aston in his hands and cooing at the pup. Aston is wiggling in his hold but yipping happily. Ludwig is sitting next to Feliciano with a book in his hands, gently smiling at the two. Kiki comes close and pats the small dog on the head. Feliciano takes the chance to grab Kiku's wrist and pull him tumbling onto the bed.
"Feli!" Kiku sputters, his face puffing up in a small blush. Feliciano just laughs and nuzzles his head into Kiku's stomach, furthering embarrassing him. Ludwig sighs and places a hand on Kiku's head to give him some semblance of comfort. Kiku takes a deep breath or two to get himself calmed down.
"Kiku are you going to sleep in the middle again?" Feliciano turns his amber eyes up. Kiku shakes his head quickly. The middle makes him cramped and claustrophobic. Feliciano pouts for a second, then rolls over to place himself between the other two. He giggles and buries his head into a big fluffy pillow. Kiku smiles at him and settles on the side. For a moment he watches Ludwig continue to read his book while Feliciano begins to snore lightly. Kiku pets Feliciano a little, admiring how quickly he can fall asleep.
"Go to sleep," Ludwig quietly commands. Kiku smiles at him and snuggles back into his pillow. Ludwig puts his book down and fixes the blankets to cover them all. He drops down to his side and throws an arm of Feliciano, resting his hand gently over Kiku's on the other side. Kiku snuggles in closer, sandwiching Feliciano between them both.
"Gute nacht," Ludwig whispers, his voice slightly muffled from the pillow his face is smushed against. Kiku smiles to himself, rubbing his thumb gently of Ludwig's hand. It takes a few wiggles and shifts before he falls asleep.
