"How was graduation?" Ruby wondered.

I shrugged. "It was fine. Pretty much the same as other years. There's the usual after party that I wasn't invited to."

"Would you want to go?" Ruby quirked an eyebrow.

"Well. No. A few students who knew about Merlot promised to take care of him for me. Which I must say would be nice. I got a lecture on my ego."

"Your ego?" Ruby asked.

"Evidently I have a complex where I'm the only one who can solve these problems. I dunno."

"Oh. That," Ruby nodded. "But you're a busy father and husband."

"Yeah that's what settled it for me. So I let the little birds fly. If they think they can take down my dad then who am I to stop them or get in their way?"

"Was it the princess's team?" Weiss wondered.

"Yeah. Why?"

"No reason. Just the affection in your tone. You like that team," Weiss waved me off. "You're ignorant so I'm not worried about them."

"What does that mean?" I asked.

"Well you're loyal to us despite the little favors whichever teams do for you," Ruby affirmed her words with more nodding.

"They don't even like me that way anymore. I'm a married man," I rolled my eyes.

"Well to your knowledge it's that way. But you got close to the princess once. Marriage has never really stopped anyone trying to cheat," Weiss pointed out.

"I'm not trying to cheat. Are the kids all in bed?"

"Sure are. Just because you feel that way doesn't mean all those young students feel that. You have to see that."

"It's been years," I disagreed. "They surely let me go since before Nebel was born. I'm easy to let go."

"No. You're really not," Weiss lamented.

"Yeah. No. Yeah. You're not. You're a catch," Ruby chimed in with her agreement with Weiss.

"I'm a schizoaffective loser. Come on. What's to miss."

"Not your self esteem. How can you have a big ego and low self esteem. I don't know how you pull that off. But you do," Weiss mumbled.

"You've noticed my ego too? What about it? Just the 'complex' where I have unresolved family issues?"

"A little. I mean you're all 'I'm responsible for this planet.'" Weiss did a baritone.

"I am responsible for this planet," I whispered. "Even if I kill Salem that won't change. 'Kill'. Even if I defeat Salem I'll still be responsible for the world. Won't I? That won't go away. I'm responsible for these kids. I'm responsible for these wives. I'm fucking responsible for killing my sisters. They won't just do nothing if I'm taking down my Mom. Aren't I responsible?"

"Not for everything!" Ruby protested.

"The kids and the wives. Sure. But the whole planet. That's your ego. That's that talking," Weiss pressed on. "Bad things happen all the time. That's not your fault."

"It is if I could have prevented it. Which one of you tried to cook?" I wondered as I examined the kitchen. Food was burned to the pans.

"Weiss did," Ruby confessed. "Is it bad? I didn't think the fallout was that bad."

"Weiss huh. I suppose we're lucky the house is still standing."

"Hey! I'm not that awful!"

"Are these pizza boxes?" I asked. "Did you get frustrated and order pizza?"

"Leave me alone!"

"You're so adorable," I walked over and wrapped my arms around her and gave her a squeeze. "You're so cute!"

"I'm gorgeous and sexy!"

"Sure are! But when you fail to cook you're adorable and you have to hold that."

"Get off of me! Let me go!"

"No. You like it," I shot back as I held her.

"Yeah. Yeah. When I'm a failure at worst I'm adorable to you. Now would you release me, you hairless ape!"

I kissed the side of her neck and let her go.

"Gods," she swore.

"It is adorable," Ruby agreed. "How hard is it to follow a recipe?"

"Very adorable," I hummed.

"Very hard apparently!" Weiss protested. "It's some kind of magic. Cooking. I don't trust it. I think it's suspicious."

"Gods I just want to pinch your little smooth cheeks and kiss you senseless," I informed her in a husky tone.

"Of course it gets you off," Weiss rolled her eyes with a huff.

"Darling everything to do with you gets me off," I shot back. "You miserable tease."

"Tease? Me?" She gasped.

"Yes you. A tease. And that's how it starts. You're like 'look at me in my new leggings' then it's all 'do you seriously have a boner right now.'"

"Well? Do you?" Weiss folded her arms.

"Not at the moment but the right word or phrase from you can change that in a heartbeat. Thump-thump. Roses are red, violets are blue. If I had my way, I'd be inside of you."

She smacked me. "What? Not a big poetry fan?"

"That filth wasn't poetry. Only your ego would call that poetry."

I splayed both my hands on her thighs through her jeans. I reached down and cupped her chin to make her look up at me.

"Roses are red, violets are blue, if you really wanted to piss your dad off, you'd let me go down on you."

"Aw," Ruby purred.

"'Aw?' Let me go!" Weiss waved me off. "Why would you 'aw' that?"

"He made it rhyme," Ruby hummed.

"That doesn't make it sweet!"

"It could if you let it…" Ruby decided.

"No! He needs to work hard to get an 'aw' out of me. Not that lazy crap."

"Weiss, roses are red, violets are blue-"

"I don't want to hear it!" Weiss cut me off.

"But I stayed up all night just thinking of you!" I finished with a smirk. She gave me a half-hearted glare for that.

"You did not. You're such a liar. I bet you were up late thinking of the princess though."

"Uncool," I undermined. "I've never thought of Rosé like that. Not the way I think about you and have always thought about you. It's really not a fair comparison."

"But it is a comparison," Weiss dissected.

"Oh come on. It's really not. And it's not like I have her to tempt me to stay and abandon my duties. You do that."

"I do?"

"She does?" Ruby wondered.

"You both do. Do you think I want to go off and die after everything I've built up here? That's not fair." I muttered. "But maybe this is the ego talking but I sort of have to anyways because if I don't look after this planet who the hell will. And all I have to do is cut her freaking head off and run away. Sounds easy enough. After that I'm home free. Well- I still have my other responsibilities. But the big one finished and I'm all done! Come on. You think I like that bullshit? But it's the way I have got to be. The way things have got to be."

"I prefer your cheeky rhymes to this conversation," Weiss slumped in her chair.

"Roses are blue, violets are red," I started.

"Wait what?" Ruby cut in.

"I'm so confused. Please give me head," I finished.

"Oh. It still managed to be disappointing," Weiss rolled her eyes. "What a surprise. Why did I agree to marry you?"

"I whittled away your standards like water on rock?" I guessed. "Or maybe it was that nonsense in your vows about hard work and pushing one another. You know what I have my money on."

Weiss looked like she wanted to throw something at my head but the only thing in her reach was her water glass.

"Like I said. Low self esteem. Big ego."

"Big enough to rock your world and leave you breathless," I grumbled.

"Oh are we talking about your dick now?" Weiss rolled her eyes up at me. I started washing the dishes she burnt food into by the sink.

"Better than talking about my ego. Don't you think? I mean, no matter how you play your cards there's no way I'm filling you up with my ego tonight. But…"

"Oh would you!" Ruby protested. "Did talking with the princess about your dad really turn you on that much?"

"The both of you need to stop being jealous of Rosé. Literally nothing ever happened. Ever. And there were times when something could have happened. But it didn't. I didn't let it. I was a good loyal dog. I had eyes only for you? I only had eyes for you? I had eyes for you only? The pieces are all there. I can figure this out."

"Oh sure. You never once imagined taking her in those little skirts in your office? We believe you," Weiss waved me off.

"Wait do you still have your Beacon uniforms?" I asked them.

"I do. Why?" Weiss asked.

"I'll give it to you later. Sorry. Sorry. I'll tell you later."

"You want us to wear our school uniforms in the bedroom for you?" Ruby sounded shocked.

"The number of times I imagined doing things to Weiss in that thing is uncountable."

"Never to me?" Ruby wondered.

"Not until you wore that short thing out in Anima," I returned.

"Yeah? You like the short skirts?" Weiss demanded cockily.

"Only on the right women. Or girl."

"'Or girl' huh?" Weiss pressed.

"You were barely a woman at Beacon. You were still young. Leave me alone."

"I still think you're coming back to the princess," Weiss wiped some crumbs off the counter where she sat.

"Come on. Enough about her. I get it. You're the jealous type. But leave her alone. Please?"

"I'm not jealous. I'm possessive," Weiss countered.

"Well I'm jealous. You think that uniform still fits me?" Ruby asked.

"I have no idea. You've grown so much in all the right places," I frowned. Ruby's chest and hips were wider. The kids really hadn't hurt her figure. She still looked rockin' but maybe it was the eyes of the beholder.

"You make that sound like a bad thing," Weiss accused.

"Well it is if she's trying to fit in her old uniform," I murmured meekly.

"And what? I haven't grown?" Weiss wondered.

"Not the same way. You're taller but you didn't really fill out the way Ruby did. Come on. I love how petite you are. It's super slim and sexy. But Ruby just went ham. Puberty whacked her with the thickest possible baseball bat," I moved a dish to the drying rack.

"You guys really think so?" Ruby asked.

"Ruby if you came up to me on the street I would assume I was being pranked."

"And me?" Weiss demanded.

"I still think you're pranking me when you agreed to marry me. Six kids later I'm waiting for you to say sike. And then leave me."

"No self esteem to be found," Weiss brutalized me.

"Well- blame my upbringing. Compared to you both I'm ugly."

"You're good looking!" Ruby protested.

"I meant my personality," I murmured. "Not just my face."

"How many times do we need to teach you this lesson?" Weiss wondered.

"I don't know. At least once more. I think."

"We will suck your dick until you stop," Ruby threatened.

"Then… then why would I stop?" I raised an eyebrow at her with a little half turn.

"Um…" Ruby trailed off.

"See I don't know either," I went back to washing the dishes.

"Thank you for washing the dishes Cloud," Weiss thanked.

"No problem," I shrugged.

"Were you serious about us wearing our uniforms for you?" Weiss pressed.

"Come find out. Put on the skirt with no panties and come find out."

"Ominous," Ruby hazarded.

"It's like seeing you guys in your hunting gear. It's like:" I pumped a fist gently. "It's just so…" I pumped my fist gently again. "How can I explain it? It's just so fucking on point that you could say and act however you wanted and still be sexy. It's pretty unfair. I don't have anything like that."

"You look pretty good in your hunting get up, Cloud." Weiss disagreed.

"Then why do you always want me out of it."

"You look good in other things. For example. A suit and tie and slacks," Weiss finished.

"Like what I'm wearing now?"

"You're pretty hot right now. Not going to lie. Honestly who can blame the princess? Cloud is a tease," Ruby cut in.

"I'm not a tease," I denied.

"I bet you teased her and got her all fired up. Until she would have just spread her legs for you and let you mhmm," Ruby trailed into a moan.

"You keep moaning like that and I'll give you a real reason to moan," I threatened.

"Not much of a threat to be completely honest with you. Maybe I want you too. Maybe I want to have you inside me until I can barely breathe. Maybe that."

"This is why you're a tease Ruby," Weiss informed her. "I would never talk like that."

"Until you're pushing Ruby's head into my groin," I fired back. "Then you turn your mouth right around."

"Mhmmm," Ruby moaned. "That's good."

"Seriously Ruby I'm trying to wash these dishes," I shot at her. "An erection only makes my life harder."

"Aw poor thing," Ruby decided. "If you did get an erection I know where you could put it. You could Limit split me in half."

"I'm thinking about it."

"No good come back?" Weiss demanded. "Roses are red, violets are blue. I'd pay good money just to blow you." I bent over the counter. "You have a boner right now. Don't you?" I could hear Weiss smirk.

"Mind your business," I shot over my shoulder.

Weiss laughed. "Talk about easy."

"You're the one with the sexy lips and tongue," I grumbled. "It's a problem for me."

"Poor big man. Who will take care of you?" Weiss kept laughing.

"Yuck it up, Weiss," I grimaced.

"Oh I'm sure one of us will help you out. At least one of us."

"At least one of you? Huh?" I wondered absently. "Dishes are done."

"I thought we were going to spitroast him," Ruby whined in a way that made me throb.

"I'm going to let you. I'll allow it."

"Not up to you," Ruby gestured. "We were going to force you."

"Oh? And how were you going to make me? How would you stop me from just taking you both to pieces?" I shook my head.

"I'd say please for me. Let me go down on you while Weiss kisses you. Please for me."

"You know… that just might work. Especially if you used those big silver eyes," Weiss murmured. "What do you say Cloud. Want to give it a try?"

"Yeah I wouldn't mind that," I shrugged. "I kinda like taking you apart though."

"We can do both. Please. Please?" Ruby begged.

"Oh I suppose I could allow it. If you're a good girl."

"Please I'll be good. I swear. Just be gentle with me. I don't know if I could handle it if you were rough with my body."

I groaned.

"How does she do that?" Weiss wondered. "So meek and mild and just ready to be fucked. You know? Now I want to rip her apart. How does she do that?"

"You do the same," I grimaced and tried to hide my erection behind the counter by bending over it. "Just a little different. Like when you sing at me."

"So you like it when I sing?"

"It makes me wonder what that mouth do. Makes me wanna make you hit them high notes. We'll find a way."

"I'm so turned on right now," Ruby purred.

"Who's fault is that?" I demanded. "Well? Who?"

"Mine," she whined. "I did it to myself. Won't you help me?"

"Listen to that!" Weiss laughed. "She's an animal."

"You guys…"

"You're not innocent," I glowered at Weiss.

"You guys…"

"I don't do that!"

"You guys…"

"Not exactly that but you walk around singing minding your own business and waiting for me to give you what you have coming to you. Don't you?"

"Why is it such a problem for you?" Weiss demanded.

"Oh it just. It drives me nuts," I groaned.

"Moan like that again," Ruby begged.
