Despite the feeling of being completely ready to drift back off to sleep settling into Kaz’s veins, he wanted to wake up and curl up against Cole, to kiss him until he was properly awake and then spend his day with him. The fact that it was Valentine’s day was something that he knew was important in tradition, but he wasn’t really focused on it other than the knowledge that it meant it was another day he got to spend with his husband. “It does,” he whispered to Cole at the feeling of hands on his shoulders, missing the kisses that Cole had been treating him with before he’d pulled away. He loved waking up like this, when they had the chance to share lazy days together and just be. Too often Cole was running off to work and Kaz was taking care of Essie and his coursework to actually manage to spend time together, so now was the perfect opportunity. He had the chance to just be with Cole and that was what mattered to him. “You don’t have to do that,” Kaz said when Cole insisted that he was off to make breakfast, and Kaz reached out to try and stop him, sighing a bit when he slipped away. A soft smile graced his lips as he watched Cole leave, one that lingered on Kaz’s lips as he slowly crawled out of bed and stretched his tired limbs. Had he not heard that Cole had already gotten Essie and taken her along, he would have picked up their daughter on his journey to the kitchen, but the few minutes of peace gave Kaz an opportunity to freshen up slightly and get dressed before he followed along. He slipped into a pair of jeans and one of Cole’s hoodies before he made his way to the kitchen. “Buenos días, mi princesa,” Kaz mumbled as he scooped Estrella into his arms, kissing the girl’s cheek as she giggled and clung to him. He smiled quietly, playing with their daughter for another minute before he set her down in her high chair and stepped over to Cole, pressing a soft kiss to his cheek. “Thank you,” he told his husband. “You don’t have to cook breakfast if you don’t want to though. I can take care of it.”

"Here, Es," Cole handed Estrella a small chocolate chip from the pancake mix from her seat on the floor before he went back to stirring up the mix. Cole had wished that they could spend every morning like this, he could wait for Kaz to come down and get breakfast cooked for him like he deserved. Kaz deserved so many things that Cole wasn't able to give to him, but one thing he could do was just be himself and love him for all of eternity like he had planned on doing. Flipping the eggs around, Cole knew Kaz liked scrambled even though he liked sunny-side up, but it was what his husband wanted his morning. Estrella scoot herself around on the floor, holding onto this as she would stand up and walk around Cole briefly before falling and planting herself on the tile floor. "Watch out, babe," He told her, petting her with his foot before turning back to the mix, and pouring some on a skillet. Hearing Kaz's voice made Cole blush deep, not turning around to see him, but hearing his voice coo to Estrella. Cole turned his head and felt the warm hands on his hips, and he gasped almost silently before beaming. and flipping around the pancake. "I'm going to cook breakfast for you because I love you and I don't get to do it often." Cole hips moved back to push gently on Kaz's own. He turned his head to the boys lips, kissing the side of his mouth gently and turning back to what he was doing. "Anything special you want to do today? I just thought we'd go to the Santa Monica pier and walk around with Essie. Then later, we could be alone." Cole turned his head to look at Kaz, pushing his hips back a little more to put pressure as he flipped the pancake on a plate, and dumped the eggs as well. "Your breakfast, sir."

[coltonedwards]

Guess they do, but you always seemed different to me. I mean none of this in a bad way! I swear. Yeah, that’s true; I could suggest, like everyone else, that you have someone look after Essie but I know it’s never that easy. Course you will, but I think the world on a silver platter might even be out of your budget… just maybe. On my own? Nah, I’ll pass.

[coleortega]

I guess it's because I hang out with Kaz so much now. He's changed me, Colton... for the better, of course. I would suggest you watching her with Quinn and everything, but I definitely don't want her wandering around a frat house. That could get interesting. I'll ask Lexi, but I don't want her hands to be full with both of them. I don't want the world on a silver platter! I want new sunglasses... 2014 Spring collection, obviously. Well, if you go on your own, you're more than likely going to come back with someone else. They also have live music and stuff, and I know how much you're into musicians...

[coltonedwards]

I didn’t think “nothing crazy” was in your vocabulary, mate. What’s gotten into you? I’m a little sad at the lack of extravagance — but regardless, I’m sure you two are gonna have a lovely day. Give Kaz my best. I… spend enough nights with people in that sense, I think. I won’t be alone — I’ve got some people to dedicate time to.

[coleortega]

Eh, when you settle down and have other priorities... things kind of mellow. Now that we have Essie, we can't just go on random trips anymore, which is kind of sad. My birthday is coming up, so that will probably be nice. It'll be really nice. I'll make him buy me something expensive. Aw, I definitely will let him know! I hear a lot of good bars downtown are having like, free shots and stuff. Maybe make your way down there?

[sullivan-jake]

Um, I guess so? As long as you find someway to work them all off, I’m sure it’ll be fine. 

[coleortega]

Are you calling me fat?

[heyitsgurgi]

Aww, that sounds nice.

[coleortega]

It's pretty cool, I guess. I even made breakfast this morning like... I'm literally the best husband in the world.

[coltonedwards]

Damn… but good for her, ha. I bet they taste great. It’s going steadfast; It’s definitely not going to be as exciting as yours, I can tell already. I bet you have something crazy planned, huh? There might be, but I wouldn’t be interested anyway. A long term, serious relationship doesn’t sound appealing to me right now.

[coleortega]

They're pretty good, actually. Um, we actually don't have anything too crazy planned. Maybe a little walk downtown or something, but nothing crazy. I didn't mean a long term relationship, I jut meant someone you could spend the night with. No one likes being alone on Valentine's Day.

[coleortega]

I AM SO ANNOYED

[heyitsgurgi]

That sounds like a fun day. What kind of cookies you making?

[coleortega]

I honestly don't even know. Sugar and chocolate chip, maybe? They're just a mix. I had my daughter help... so, like, there's a bunch of random shit everywhere. Especially heart sprinkles. 

[rynblck-deactivated20140316]

Excuse you. I was definitely your Valentine in… eighth grade? Was it eighth? I’m pretty sure it was eighth grade. Had being the operative word. If you’re in need of a babysitter, you could always ask anyone who isn’t me to do the job. Baby kid cookies, eurgh, that’s ridiculously cute and I want at least three of them. I might go out and cruise a few bars for a hookup — I mean, I need to utilize my fake ID before I do end up famous and everyone knows I’m not twenty-one yet.

[coleortega]

It was ninth. Um, we're not going to ask someone to babysit our child just so we can get intimate. She'll fall asleep sometime, and it'll just make it extra hot that we have to be quiet. I mean, it's usually me that's not quiet anyways-- but that's not the point. You're not getting any unless you ask Essie yourself. She made them, not me. Oh, please. When you're famous, you'll be able  to get into clubs even though you're not twenty-one, so.

[sullivan-jake]

That sounds like a lot of unnecessary carbs. 

[coleortega]

It's only once a year, might as well go crazy. Right? 

[coltonedwards]

Those cookies aren’t going to waste, right? 

[coleortega]

Essie probably already ate most of them, honestly. How's your Valentine's Day going, Mr. Edwards? Anyone special in that pretty frat house of yours?

[coleortega]

Nothing like spending the day in your pajamas and making cookies. Feels like Christmas again-- just more red and pink. And a lot more kisses and chocolate for me.

[rynblck-deactivated20140316]

Excuse me. I’ve been giving you last-minute cards made out of notebook paper for a solid nine years now — though I think last year may have been an exception. You might not get laid, but that’s your fault for getting married. You get baked goods instead.

[coleortega]

That doesn't mean you were ever my Valentine. And yeah, excuse you, last year was an even bigger exception. You had a boyfriend. But I did kind of too, so it's alright. Maybe I'll just ask Kaz straight up if we can get sexy tonight. He usually says yes if I ask. I made cookies with Essie this morning for Kaz, so that's only the cute part. 

[rynblck-deactivated20140316]

Ahh, my favorite holiday’s rolled around again. Fuck yeah.

[coleortega]

This is the first time I've had a consecutive Valentine, so it's my favorite now too. Except I don't get sex on it either, but what else is new?

The one thing that Kaz had been looking forward to was sleeping in after having been up late with Essie, singing her back to sleep after she’d woken up crying. It seemed that that wasn’t in the plans with Cole waking him up from his sleep, and Kaz did the best he could not to yawn directly in the man’s face as he blinked sleep out of his eyes. The gentle kisses were a nice way to wake up, especially considering half the time Cole was already on his way out or Kaz had woken up before him to sneakily make breakfast for Cole before he had to leave. “Morning,” he mumbled to Cole, a sleepy smile spreading across his face before he shifted to curl up closer to his husband. He hadn’t remembered what the day was, not until Cole mentioned that it was Valentine’s day. Once he had, Kaz opened his eyes a little wider and he smiled as he curled up against the man. “Happy Valentine’s day to you too,” he mumbled softly before he pressed a gentle kiss to Cole’s lips. Since the sounds of Estrella wandering around or stirring didn’t reach his ears, Kaz found it easy to relax into Cole’s touch and kiss his husband without any worries that he would be ignoring their daughter in the process.

[coleortega]

The sleepy words coming from Kaz's mouth were adorable, and of course made Cole want to kiss him more, but instead he just snuggled closer to the source of them. His lips found their way to the boys neck again, leaving sloppy kisses that smelled of Kaz's natural scent and Cole's morning breath now. He didn't really know how to feel waking up like this, because it was all so perfect and something he didn't really ever think would happen. Cole had lots of Valentine's in high school, but being with Kaz for the third year was very, very special. His hands rubbed up Kaz's collarbone and over his shoulder as he pressed his nose against the boys neck and smirked. "Feels nice waking up like this, huh?" Cole pushed away to let his eyes wander to Kaz's that were struggling to stay open. He knew the boy deserved a day off for getting Essie, like he did every morning, even though he enjoyed it immensely, and would wake her up and get her breakfast himself. "I'm going to go make breakfast," Cole whispered again, kissing Kaz's chin before stirring a little bit and scurrying out of the blankets. He placed his feet on the floor before stretching and feeling the cool wood on his feet. He put on a long shirt of Kaz's, already wearing his boxers as he carefully crept out of the room. Creeping into Estrella's room across the hall, Cole noticed that the little girl was already awake and playing on her own in her room before he scooped her up to take into the kitchen with him. Pancakes, bacon, and eggs were on the menu for the morning as Cole set Estrella down on the kitchen floor so he could get the ingredients out of the fridge before starting on the stove top where he cracked an egg and turned to the pancake mix.

Waking up with the person you loved had to be one of the most reassuring and passionate moments in anyone's life. It was filled with such love and innocence The need to be with each other through the night was thoughtless and emotionally praising; a feeling that Cole had grown accustomed to. He loved being in this position with Kaz, and he couldn't begin to explain how much he truly wanted to be in the boys arms at all times. Because it was Valentine's Day, Cole had decided it was much more important to be with his family than to be away like he had everyday for almost a year. Sleeping in felt truly amazing, and being able to stay in Kaz's arms for as long as he wanted was just the same. The light was attempting to burst through the curtains that he had attempted to close the night before, but got fed up as they wouldn't shut completely. His eyes opened a little bit, but only enough to realize that Kaz and him were completely intertwined; his face was nuzzled into Kaz's warm, olive skin of his neck. The sound of the boys breathing was very quiet and intimate, and Cole felt the edges of his lips turn up in a lazy smile as he lifted his head and felt the boy stir a bit. The dark hair was falling over his face after not being styled properly, and Cole could attest to loving that look very much. Cole felt the fabric of Kaz's shirt (that was probably Cole's) and gripped at the hems of it lightly as he planted a small, eager kiss on the boys parted lips-- unknowing if he was awake or not. "Wakey, wakey." He whispered into the boys jaws, kissing again before he made it all the way down his neck, and circled to the lips again. "Happy Valentines Day, babe."
