Work Text:
On a fairly standard, and quiet day, there was little sound and disturbance. What little of the sun's rays could peek through the glass doors that led out to the veranda, would gently grace the room with a gentle light. Softly turning in his sleep, Aoba seemed peaceful as his face slightly shifted its expression. Footsteps could be heard coming up the stairs, and soon after, Clear would enter the room enthusiastically, unintentionally breaking the silence that Aoba and Ren were resting in.
"Aoba-san~! It's morning!"
Clear cheerfully exclaimed, as he quickly moved to Aoba's bed, to gently try and shake him awake. Overhearing the noise, Ren couldn't help but stir awake himself, as he perked his ears at hearing Clear greet them. Aoba only responded to Clear's attempts to wake him with slight defiance, as he slightly groaned and rolled back over, turning his body away from Clear to face the wall. Seeing Aoba react in such a manner left Clear slightly dejected, as he had a small pout formed on his lips.
"Ah.. Aoba-san, please wake up..! Tae-san is awake as well, and I've made breakfast..!"
Clear tries to offer an enticing piece of information as a means to wake his lover, and Ren is now awake, and gently pawing at Aoba in an effort to try and aid Clear in waking Aoba from his seemingly comfortable slumber. Aoba mumbles, and curls into his blanket and pillow further, shying his face away. Seldom did Clear's attempts to rouse Aoba remain short-lived, as he practically jumped onto the bed, grasping Aoba's shoulder with his hands and shaking him. All with a smile on his face, Clear began to further describe how the morning that Aoba had been missing out on, had been, to Aoba's slight dismay.
"Uwa-waaah..! C-Clear...! I'm up! I'm up!"
Aoba started to wriggle away from Clear's grasp, and swatted at Clear's hands as he sat himself up. Aoba hunched his shoulders slightly, while reaching one of his arms upwards, letting out a slightly annoyed and curt sigh as he stretched. Clear clapped his hands together once as a smile spread across his face, watching Aoba finally wake up. Ren walked up to Aoba from the foot of Aoba's bed, and looked up at his face, greeting him while he seemed to remain in a groggy state. Aoba let out a yawn while reaching his hand to cover his mouth, before finally letting out a short sigh with a smile, moving both his hands to pick Ren up.
"'Morning, Ren.. and 'morning, Clear.."
Aoba turned his head to face Clear, and moved Ren to sit in his lap. He felt his gaze soften as he allowed himself to wake up more and more, to which Clear responded in turn with an even brighter smile. Clear slightly leaned forward, and cupped Aoba's cheek with his right hand. Aoba then gently leaned into the soft touch, and closed his eyes again, before using one of his own hands to sneakily cover Ren's eyes. Clear noticed the small action, and before he could question what it would have been for, Aoba slightly opened his eyes, with a softly hooded look, and gave the palm of Clear's hand that had been cupping his cheek, a gentle kiss. There's a slight jolt, and gasp as Clear sees what happens, with a slight dusting of pink on both of their cheeks, Aoba pushes himself away with some force, and pretends to carry the morning as per usual. Aoba then gently places Ren on the floor, and gets out of bed fully. Clear is quick to follow-suit, as he remembers that Tae had initially sent him up to Aoba to bring said person downstairs for breakfast, and was now worrying over completing his task.
"A-Aoba-san, Tae-san is still waiting for us downstairs.. so.. please get ready quickly..!"
Clear seems to fidget with his hands as his eyes darted around the room before he left in a hurry, the thumping of his feet down the stairs could still be heard slightly. Ren turns to face Aoba, with a curious tilt of his head before he speaks. "Aoba, I shall follow him and let Tae know that you are getting ready, as I fear Clear will get caught up within balancing following up with Tae, as well as plating and serving breakfast." Aoba gives Ren a sound of acknowledgement before Ren's little pitter-patter of paws can be heard as he follows Clear quickly. Aoba then stretches his back while he stands, both reaching for the ceiling, and to touch his toes before letting out another sigh, feeling refreshed. He then goes over to a dresser to hazily grab a pair of jeans, as well as a navy-blue, long-sleeve shirt that seemed to be a regular staple of his wardrobe. Aoba quickly dresses himself, and as he made his way to the kitchen, he's quickly cut off by a certain someone's voice he'd loathe to live without.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, LAZING AROUND SO MUCH!"
The booming voice of Tae never ceased to amaze, as Clear froze up upon hearing it reverberate through the kitchen. Aoba flinches slightly, but immediately recovers with his usual retorts along the lines of "it's the weekend.." and "I don't have work today anyway..". Through their usual song-and-dance, Clear tries to lighten the mood by placing the plated breakfast down, as Ren takes a seat next to the chair Aoba usually sits in. When the food is all served, Aoba offers to help set up the cutlery, as well as pour the tea that had been sitting on the stovetop still. But Clear insists on finishing the job himself, and Tae lets out a snort when she's finally calmed, having her tea finally in hand.
"Ahh.. I feel like I say it every time, Clear.. but.. This all seriously looks amazing...!"
Aoba lets his eyes wander between the delicately served dishes, all of it looking very traditional and expected of someone who had the privilege to learn under Tae's cooking. Unable to contain his smile, Aoba was practically drooling at the wonderful smell the kitchen had produced. Clear seemed to beam at seeing Aoba and Tae looking pleased at his efforts, and put his hands together, bringing them up to the center of his chest. Seeing the air lighten, Tae couldn't help but slightly smile into her cup as she took a sip. Aoba then waited for Clear to sit down as well, and once everyone's eyes met, they clapped their hands together and said all together "Let's eat!"
