Work Text:
Blue eyes followed every step the two guys took, dribbling the ball between one another, and an approving nod of his allowed the two to finally take a break.
Exhausted, they walked up to the owner of those beautiful blue eyes, and one groaned tiredly.
"Unmeeeeei, I‘m tireeeeed~"
"I know, Sei. That‘s the whole point of the training. To get used to higher direct pressure when in control of the ball. Which is benefitial for you, especially if you want to excel as both a forward and a defender." Unmei explained, making Sei pout, while Unmei smirked a bit at him.
"You asked me to give you proper training to do exactly that. That‘s entirely on you this time, you know the measures I take to ensure that your training is successful, after all."
"I know, I know…"
Still pouting, Sei took the water bottle Unmei handed him… looking at his other partner, Haru, also drinking from his own bottle… who was clearly looking satisfied and comfortable with the other two guys around.
"... You know, Haru… when facing you like this, you aren‘t as intimidating, honestly. You were way more scary before."
"Mh?"
Haru looked at Sei, eyes way more gentle than the focused expression before. A smile grazed his lips. Small and kind, a truly genuine smile. He had grown very comfortable with the two, after all.
"Or maybe I am not as intimidating because you know me better now? Because we are literally dating?~"
A small flush grazed the cheeks of the vanilla and black haired guy, and he looked aside, puffing out some air in embarassment.
"Pfft, no. It is because I am getting even better with Unmei‘s guidance by my side, way more confident!… and maybe also a bit because we are dating, yes. Because I know you now."
And neither Haru nor Unmei could deny the amusement that was flowing between that in that moment. They enjoyed teasing Sei in general, yes, but him downright admitting that he saw Haru in a more positive light now was also rather amusing and cute.
"... Nevertheless! Haru, what about the two kitties? You promised to tell us about them when you come here!" Sei asked. He clearly tried to desperately change the topic, and it worked, as Haru immediately grabbed his phone to quickly look for the photo he had been planning to show. It was one where the two kittens he had been able to name were lying in his lap, curled up happily and sleeping.
And as he showed them to his boyfriends, their gazes immediately turned softer.
"Awwweee…"
"God I wish that were me."
Both Sei‘s and Haru‘s heads whipped around to stare at Unmei in surprise… who looked back, leaning his head to the side in confusion.
"... what? Is it so wrong to say that I wanna cuddle Haru?"
"Well, no, just–" Haru stuttered, before Sei chimed in.
"You know what… same though. His lap must be comfortable as of all hell if the kitties just curl up in it and sleep the day away."
Haru‘s face was turning a slight crimson hue now, chuckling nervously. His boyfriends were really testing his nerves… and god, he loved how mushy they made him feel sometimes. Like he could be completely vulnerable and open, and they would never ever use it against him… he loved it.
It still felt foreign, but oh so, so nice...
"Well, do you want to try it out?" Haru asked, voice clearly teasing, trying to make his boyfriends also blush a little...
But, instead, they looked at each other, before nodding in agreement.
"Very much so, yes." Unmei stated, nodding at Haru this time. And he could not help but look aside, heart fluttering in his chest.
Unmei and Sei, in his lap? It felt too good to be true. But everything still felt too good to be true anyways.
He felt so warm and happy lately, like never before. He wanted to treasure it, and elongate this feeling as well.
The more, the better, really.
"Well... We can later, if you want... And if your mom allows you to stay over at Unmei's place, Sei." Haru offered, seeing the eyes of the two guys he loved oh so much sparkle at the suggestion.
God, how he loved them. So darn much.
"Oh absolutely! I bet she will! She is fully supporting of us, after all! Though I am sure she will scold me with that I should tell her sooner next time, heh... Oh well!"
And Haru watched as Sei snatched his phone from his bag... Unmei leaning against Haru a little, making the brown haired guy look at the teal hair. Snuggling his nose into it, breathing in...
" Hey, Haru..." Unmei chuckled softly. It was a warm sound, one Haru could never get enough of, no matter how much he wanted it to.
He, in fact, never wanted to get enough of it.
"What is it, Unmei?" Haru asked, still watching Sei type. "Nervous I reciprocate your cuddling attempt?" "Pfft, never. I planned this. Totally."
"Liar." Haru teased, hearing Unmei gasp dramatically. "You accuse me of lying? Guess you actually do not want to stay in my bed, then-" "Don't you dare~"
Haru poked Unmei's nose, making both him as well as Sei chuckle.
~~
"So, you do have everything with you, right?" Unmei asked, and Sei nodded, holding his bag closer. "Yes, I do! I do! Don't worry!" he chuckled, grabbing one hand from Haru, who blushed a little.
"Geez, Haru! Your hand is cold!" "Yea, I know." Haru replied, a smile on his face. "And both yours as well as Unmei's are wonderfully warm. I love them... a lot."
And he gently fiddled with Sei's hand, who blushed a little. While Unmei grabbed Haru's other hand, nodding.
"We gotta warm up your hands then!" he hummed, making Haru's heart jump a little.
'I swear, I can never lose those two, ever...' Haru thought, walking along with his boyfriends to the tram.
"When will it be there?" Unmei asked, and Sei looked at his watch. "14 minutes... Why-"
But Unmei already let go of Haru's hand, which made a part of him feel a bit cold... As both he and Sei watched Unmei crouch down to a cat that was purring and nuzzling up against his legs just a moment ago. And it purred even more as Unmei pet it.
" I swear, Unmei..." Haru chuckled. "You are literally a cat whisperer at this point." "You just noticed??"
Haru looked at Sei, who looked shocked in an overly dramatic manner. Making Haru shake his head, amusement clear in his expression.
"Of course not, no. In fact, when we were talking about you before visiting you, a cat was literally resting on his lap for the whole duration of us, sitting at the harbor. If he isn't loved by cats, I don't know who is." "He is a cat."
And Unmei looked up at them, raising an eyebrow.
"I can hear you two, you know? I hear you very well."
"... Yes, he absolutely is a cat." "Told you." "You two..."
~~
"Mmr... Haru..." Sei mumbled, holding Haru's arm, yawning. "You are so warm..." "Are my hands warm too, now? ~" "... Your body is warm."
And Haru and Unmei looked at one another, smiling, while Sei was yawning once more, mouth wide open.
"How are you so tired already, Sei? Did the training tire you out so much?" "Yea... Playing like a Defender is still a relatively new thing to me, after all... Though I do like it..."
He opened one of his eyes... Meeting two blue and two brown eyes... The eyes he loved looking at oh too much.
"... Plus, I haven't been sleeping well lately... I wanted to cuddle you two again, it felt wrong to sleep without you..."
And while his mumbling was just meant to be a cute little statement from him, neither Haru nor Unmei could deny the fact that this had an effect on them.
A positive, one. One including making their hearts react on a way... But nothing dangerous. Just a strong fluster from both.
"... He is too adorable." Unmei whispered, and Haru nodded strongly. "Agreed. A little annoying, but god, so cute..." "... I can hear you."
Both looked at Sei, who was also blushing lightly now... Smiling at them.
"You are too... Very much so. Now... Just a little more." he exclaimed, yawning a bit once more, sitting up properly.
~~
"Your bed is so comfy!" Haru declared, popping down on the bed, letting out a happy sigh. While both Unmei and Sei looked at one another, smirking.
"Oh, Haru... I must agree though, but it probably mostly is because we know that it is Unmei's bed. That might just make it feel way better." "Huh... Fair."
Haru looked up at Sei, whose head was right above Haru's... Making his face immediately flare up, and roll to the side. Confusing Sei.
"What's wrong?" "I dunno! Something of that pose just... I... Just... Oh my god..."
Haru covered his face, thoughts racing.
'What was it about that that makes my heart race so much???' Haru panicked... Sei looking at Haru's back, waiting. And Unmei also got closer, sitting besides Sei.
"Haru?" he asked, his voice gentle. "What's wrong?" "I- I don't know! Just, like, something about Sei just now... It makes me feel so warm..."
He turned around... Face still flushed red, looking at the other two. But he soon broke eye contact again, feeling way too flustered. Yet, both Unmei and Sei looked at him with gentle expressions. A smile grazed both of their faces.
"It's okay, Haru." Unmei cooed, while Sei was gently petting the brown hair. "It is still new and foreign to you, after all. Even more so than for us. It is only natural." "Yea, but... I don't know..."
Slowly, Haru sat up again, looking at Sei's face again... Face still flushed.
"Your eyes are so pretty, Sei... Too pretty." he explained, also making Sei's cheeks flush lightly.
"S-sorry?" "No! No... Please. I love looking at them. They are so gentle... And genuine. I love your eyes so much... And Unmei's eyes, also. So much."
Both Sei and Unmei were flustered by this confession... And latter embraced Haru tightly, whose face was turning bright red again." Unmei??"
"Oh Haru, we love you so much, I swear..." Unmei uttered... Sei nodding in strong agreement, joining in the cuddling pile. And Haru knew by then-
He would not be able to escape them in any way anymore today.
~~
"So... You are saying that we have to train more tomorrow??" Sei groaned, Haru and Unmei laughing at his complaint. "Of course, Sei. It is not every single day that Haru is right there to help in training, after all! Plus, you love spending this time with us anyways, no?" "Pfft, of course I do..."
Sei mumbled, lounging right over Haru's lap, pouting quietly.
"But I was just hoping for a more comfortable way to spend time together, you know?... Like using Haru as a pillow..."
Unmei looked down at Sei, wanting to already teach him of better... But shaking his head instead, also cuddling up to Haru.
"Fair enough. How about both of those then, hm? Just like today." "Deal." Sei nodded, and Haru sighed, petting both of his boyfriends.
"Now... Will you two get off me a little, hm?" "No." Sei grumbled, curling up more. "Lying with you is so comfortable." "I cannot even lie down??"
But, once all three could finally lie down properly... Both Sei and Unmei lay partially on top of Haru, him letting out a sigh with a blush on his cheeks. He couldn't escape, especially not now.
... But... He did not mind.
And, as Unmei was already asleep, breathing in and out... A whisper took Haru out of his focus on Unmei.
"Haru?..." Sei whispered, and Haru hummed. "Mmh?" "Love you."
And his cheeks flushed, smiling. "... I love you too. So much, words cannot express, even..." he whispered, making Sei smile happily, his eyes shutting closed. And, after wrapping his arms around the other two guys, so did Haru... With a few final words leaving his mouth:
"... Never leave me. Please."
