Gabriel takes him in deeper, his fingertips digging into Elijah’s hips. He wants to make it good for him, make him moan, make him- anything. Elijah deserves everything. He moans around him, enjoying the act of giving just as much as he would enjoy the act of getting. And Elijah’s hands in his hair was just the icing on the cake, it makes him shiver as he continues to work Elijah. Another thing helping his little performance as it were was the presence of the other boys. Nephi’s fingers trailing down his back, seeing Aeron grip at the sheets – it’s all so much at once and it makes Gabriel so fucking happy.

Nephi grins. “Desperate, huh. Well then I suppose I can’t keep you waiting for much longer.” Just to be cheeky, he pulls his hand completely away from Aeron to get out of his sweatpants – an act that fully doesn’t need to happen right that second, but what could he say? Nephi loved to tease. He tosses the sweatpants on the floor and returns to Aeron. He licks at him like Gabriel did, flicking his tongue over sensitive parts, again, just to be a tease. He finally takes him deep into his mouth, far enough to have his nose brushing over Aeron’s abdomen. Safe to say he had a little more experience. 

Elijah can’t believe how good it feels, only able to focus on the feeling and the pleasure it delivers him and nothing else. Though there’s a million and one things to process, he’s slowly but surely discovering that there was nothing wrong with focusing on the here and the now. “Fuck, Gabe,” he whines out, not struggling at all to drown the blond in praise, for how good he was making him feel. Elijah tugs a little tighter at his hair, back slightly arched. “Your mouth’s so special,” he whisper croaks, teeth gnawing at his bottom lip, having to actively work at keeping his hips against the bed. It’s a complete overload of pleasure and knowing his other two boys are being pleasure beside him, just immediately and subconsciously, even, adds to his own enjoyment. 

“I know, it’d be so mean of you...” Aeron pouts at him, epitome of innocence despite already exposing that it was far from the truth. There was no doubt in his mind that Nephi would be amazing, but he exceeded even is most optimistic expectations. Gaze darkening, jaw locking slightly as his desire for the other boys only grows and grows. “Hm, fuck. Just like that...” he trails off from his own praise, his own hips bucking up barely, unable to stop his squirming once Nephi’s taken him deep into his mouth and Aeron’s sure his eyes roll into the back of his head. “Yes, Nephi,” he continues to allow his praise to roll off of his tongue through moans and whines and groans, his desperation only growing.

Slowly, so as to not make him uncomfortable, he removes Elijah’s boxers, leaving gentle kisses all over his hips. He gives Elijah a look before licking at him, really wanting to take his time and pull out all the stops for him – he deserves the best, after all. Finally, he takes all of him into his mouth, going as deep as he can. Gabe can’t help but moan around him.

Nephi watches Gabriel and shivers, his fingertips lightly brushing down Gabe’s back. “So good,” he murmurs. He wants to make Aeron feel that good – he deserves it too. So he does the same, slipping his boxers down but Nephi starts with his hand, stroking him slow and deep. A smirk appears on his face. Ohh, this was going to be fun – all four of them at each other’s disposal? There would never be a shortage of fun, that was for sure.

There’s a chance; a strong chance, that Elijah feels his boldness growing due to the fact that he’s sure his is some dream he’s concocted in his mind. After all, there’s no way the pretty blond is actually between his legs, tongue lapping at him the way that he was, even if he pleasure would be hard to conjure up. He whines a little as he’s taken fully into the other boy’s mouth, digits tangling within his hair. “Fuck, you’re too good...” He trails off once Nephi has said what he does, looking over at him with darkened eyes and the cheekiest of beams before focusing on what Gabe was doing again; trying to withstand from allowing his hips to rock up, though hungry for every inch of the blond’s mouth and throat. 

Aeron also watches, unsure of where to allow his gaze to settle. Everything that was happening around him was -- beautiful; from the sight of Nephi below him, to the look of Gabriel taking Elijah into his mouth, and the look on his expression as a result of that. He looks back at Nephi once his hand starts to work across his length, teeth gnawing at his bottom lip and he’s not shy in allow his hips to rock up into his hand, fingers clawing at the sheets beneath him. “Hm, desperate for you, Nephi.” He admits quietly, through a breathless whisper. After this he too wanted to make sure the other male felt good, he wanted to make sure they all did -- really. The best responsibility he’s ever had in his life.

Gabriel laughs and nods, leaning in to kiss him deeply. “Mmm… always, baby. You’re so fucking cute.” He keeps kissing him and softly touching him, just wanting to stress him out a bit and be a tease. But he doesn’t want to keep Elijah waiting for long, he’s been so good. So Gabriel moves lower and undoes Elijah’s pants, pulling them down and off. For the first time in a long time, Gabriel is actually a little nervous about what he’s about to do. If it was just someone he didn’t really care about, he’d be fine. But this was Elijah. He wanted him to feel incredible, wanted to do everything to him or for him that he deserved. 

Nephi smirks. “Think so?” he asks. He knows what Gabriel is about to do to Elijah, and he almost laughs that he was about to do the same to Aeron. He’d never been in a situation similar to this before so there was no real protocol or plans, it was all just funny to him. “I’m kinda liking the way all of you look.”

Elijah only beams brighter when he receives the affirmative response, whining a little as the time goes on and he knows Gabriel is playing with him, but he finds himself enjoying that too. “You’re cuter,” he whispers, though he doesn’t know if he’ll agree. Fingers stroke through gold, unable to take his eyes off of him, off of any part of this if he can manage it. Nephi and Aeron being there too bought him a sense of comfort he couldn’t have anticipated, never had he been so nervous and excited in his entire life. 

Aeron looks over at the other boys as Nephi speaks, a cheeky smirk drawn across his lips. It’s so different to what he’s done before, and he’d always considered himself relatively adventurous. They’ve barely started and he already knows this is going to feel like more than anything, “our minds are just too connected.” He chuckles darkly, pearly whites digging into his bottom lip.

“Yeah?” He asks breathlessly. “You want me?” He starts licking and kissing all the sensitive marks he’d left at his neck, his free hand delicately slipping down Elijah’s pants to ghost over his cock- still covered by boxers, but those could be surpassed as well. “What do you want, love? You’ve got all of me…” He says, his words dripping with lust like warm honey.

He nods quickly and kisses Aeron again, feeling much better now that he’s closer to the other boys. He was at an utter loss for what to do- he wants to do everything so it leaves him with nothing. Just make Aeron feel good, that’s all Nephi can focus on. Slowly he starts kissing down Aeron’s body, only stopping at his waistband. Leaving hot, wet kisses just above where his end goal was, he wants to tantalize Aeron more.

Elijah whines a little due to Gabriel’s touch, rocking his hips into his hand, his hunger for the other male difficult to ignore. “Oh, uh --” he doesn’t even know where to begin. He wants everything with Gabriel, with Nephi and Aeron. He wants so much his mind is spilling over thanks to his desires. “your mouth’s real pretty...” he murmurs as he bites into his own lip, thumb grazing across Gabriel’s lower lip too. “I’d like that....can I get that?” He asks then, ever the epitome of innocence -- even if he’s really anything but inside his mind now. 

Eyes widen as he watches Nephi closely, Aeron couldn’t believe this was real -- how far they’d come in such a short space of time. Fingers find solace in his hair, tongue darting to wet his lips as he watches Nephi drop kisses down his frame, teasing him once he reaches the waistband of his jeans. Swallowing thickly, fingers tug a little at his hair, urging him on; chest rising and falling visibly. “Look real pretty from there already, Nephi...” he toys with him then; digits gentle as they stroke against his scalp.

Leaving hot, wet kisses just above where his end goal was, he wants to tantalize Aeron more.

It was heaven on earth, that’s all Elijah knew how to describe it as. The blond was so aptly named, it was ridiculous. He leans into every touch Gabriel blesses him with; lips parting as he ghosts over his crotch. At first, he doesn’t even know how to answer his question; he wants everything, entranced by the blond and the boys by his side. He glances over at them, gathers enough confidence in doing so to turn them over; straddling Gabriel’s hips now. He pins him down against the sheets, lips ghosting across his neck, before falling to his collarbones. “Hm, want to taste you...” he licks at his lips as he says it, darkened gaze naturally meeting with the other’s own. Fingers stroke across his chest, before his lips follow suit. He’s alive, so alive and he wants Gabe to feel the same way, moving agonisingly slowly down the younger male’s frame. Teasing him the only way he knew how. 

It was insane in the best possible way. Aeron had never experienced anything like this before and he’d been so convinced he’d seen it all, done it all. Now he knew how mistaken he was. Nephi’s actions tug at his stomach, aching in the confines of his pants. He’s so desperate for this, to feel the other male all over him. To make sure he was filled with the same passion that Aeron already was. His chest rises and falls visibly and he watches Nephi as he moves down his body. Lips part as the other decides to stop where he is; fingers sliding into his hair, gripping at it a little. “You’re such a tease,” he speaks through a whispered growl, biting into his bottom lip. Never would he push though, enjoying it all...Far too excited and overwhelmed already.

And now Gabriel was certain that they might all be soulmates, because every touch coming from Elijah felt like a spark, but he was also feeling sparks from the other boys as well; things he couldn’t possibly feel but he could in the moment. Back on the bed he settles between Elijah’s legs again, moaning out as the built pressure between them pleases Gabriel too. “Baby, baby,” he moans against Elijah’s skin, kissing absolutely everything he could.

Nephi let Aeron remove his shirt before doing the same. Once the fabric was gone they were back to kissing. He lightly dragged his fingernails down Aeron’s chest, not once letting up from moving on top of him. “Lay down,” he softly told him now that Gabriel and Elijah were there. He wanted them to be closer again, to the blur the lines a bit more.

Elijah knew he’d never completely get used to this; to the amount of electricity and hunger and excitement coursing through his body now, all because of three boys he never would have met had it not been for the wedding. Life was weird, but beautiful and he was starting to believe he wouldn’t have it any other way. “Want all of you, baby...” everywhere Gabriel kisses, it feels as though it burns, in a way he craves all too desperately. His fingers grip at his shoulders, dull nails digging into the flesh. 

Aeron doesn’t need to be told twice, quickly lying back against the bed so they’re even closer to the other boy’s, a mere inch or two apart. So close he can feel their breaths against his skin, a rush still coursing through his frame. “Better?” he teases it, the kiss is like live wire now, and Aeron’s pulling Nephi as close to his own frame as he possibly can, wanting to make it the most he’d ever felt in his entire life. Fingers stroking across Nephi’s chest, his abdomen and towards his hips.

Gabriel couldn’t hold back anymore. “Please,” he groans, the want quite clear in his voice- and in his sweatpants. He turns and grabs Elijah in a hot kiss, his hand going down to slowly start rubbing the bulge in Elijah’s pants. “You’re so hot,” he mutters between kisses. He was going to let this bronze-haired boy know just how much Gabriel wanted him, there was no doubt of that. Breathing heavy and desire growing, he grins too. He wants this so fucking bad, he was ready.

Nephi nodded quickly before kissing Aeron again. Fuck thinking, who needed it? All they needed to worry about right now was how they felt. He’d put all his focus on Aeron while Gabriel and Elijah were together, and if at any point things needed to switch up, they’d do it then. But for now? Make Aeron moan- that is his only focus. He keeps grinding down against him, really wanting to work him up. He tugs on Aeron’s shirt wishing it were gone- he needed more flesh to scrape and mark up. “Fuck, baby,” Nephi moans softly.

Overthinking had got Elijah into trouble in the past, so with this every inhibition completely flew out the window. Once Gabriel had turned around, their lips were connected once more the brunet was melting into it, hands grasping at each side of Gabriel’s neck; lips parting and he’s gasping into his mouth when his hand starts to rub against his clothed groin. “You’re one to talk,” he reminds him, already breathlessly. Elijah’s hips continue to rock, now into Gabriel’s hand. Never in his life had he been this insatiable before, but he loved it. Felt so much at one time coursing through his frame. He saunters backwards, towards the bed once more, keeping Gabriel with him, before he’s tugging the blond on top of him; careful not to disconnect from him, not for a single second. 

It doesn’t even take a lot, and Aeron is complete putty in Nephi’s hands. Nobody else had ever had this type of control over him, this much power, though he suspected the other boys would be the exact same way. The hunger he felt for them all, more consuming than he’s willing to mention. He’s rocking his hips back up into his; stomach flipping, heart racing. “Yo-You feel so good,” Aeron whines out, lashes fluttering. It doesn’t take much, the tug on his shirt enough for him to remove it, wanting to give Nephi everything he wanted.

“Hell no, go faster,” Gabriel replied, his hand going up to pull through Elijah’s hair. When Nephi spoke up, he smirked. “I don’t think anyone is gonna turn this down…” He certainly wanted more, he was so sure he’d never wanted to be with someone this fucking badly. “Please?” he asked, glancing around. 

Nephi couldn’t help but grin. “Then I guess we’re doing this…” he said, looking each of them in the eye to completely confirm. “Any ground rules to go over? Or should we just… not think?” He couldn’t help himself from grinding down against Aeron- always the playful one. He wanted to enjoy all of this.

Elijah continues to rock his hips into Gabriel’s own, force growing as the blond grabs at his hair. “No way, this-this is like heaven,” he admits it, and he felt so confident and comfortable and he was drunk on it. Drunk on them. His lips connect with the other boy’s neck, kisses soft at first; before pressure increases. “You’re perfect,” he means it. You can hear it in the gravel of his voice, in the way his fingers stroke across every inch of the male’s skin he can reach, sucking a little against his neck, wanting to leave a mark. 

Aeron wanted all of this too, and whilst there was a fear -- he suspected that was even more of a reason to continue on. Because it meant he cared about them, and he knew that this was more than -- just a momentary blip. There were real feelings, a genuine connection. He gasps as Nephi grinds against him, biting into his smile, looking up at him with glassy hues. “No thinking, we’ve done enough of that for now, don’t you think?” He asks, hand cupping the side of the other male’s neck, thumb grazing across his jawline. “If there’s anything someone doesn’t want -- vocalise it, b-but until then we should...go with it, with whatever we feel..” Aeron decides, before connecting his lips with Nephi’s once more, eyes closing as he loses himself within the kiss.

A smirk appears on Gabriel’s face as Elijah can’t seem to keep his hands off of him. He felt himself pressing back against Elijah, slyly (or not so slyly) grinding back against him. “I just don’t want to move too fast for you,” he noted, coy. Gabriel glanced over at Nephi and Aeron, and he couldn’t keep himself from shivering, his mouth opening slightly in surprise. And desire. He wanted that, he wanted more of what they had. Fuck, he mouthed, setting the wine glass back where he’d placed it before. 

The kisses elicit a whimper from Nephi, and just like that, it was all over for him. Exasperated, he pulls Aeron’s hair again and he tears his eyes away from the boy beneath him to Gabriel and Elijah. “We need to decide if this is something we’re going to do, right now,” he said, his voice thick with desire. “Otherwise, we have to stop.” This was out of everyone’s comfort zone and he didn’t want to accidentally ruin everything by not checking in. 

Elijah lets out a quiet gasp as Gabriel knocks his hips back into his own. He rocks his own hips in response, can’t seem to stop himself. “Is it too fast for you?” Elijah whispers then, breath warm as it hits the side of Gabriel’s neck. He wanted this, he knew he did -- he didn’t really know how it’d all work, he’s relatively naive in that respect, but he wants to try...wants everything with them and he’d never been more sure of a situation in his life. That’s how he knew. Elijah doubted everything else, but not this. Never this. 

Aeron’s losing himself in them, in the tension that was thick, but warm...he could happily drown in it. Then Nephi speaks, and he knows he has a point. “I...would like for us to, but really...I want what you guys want,” he assures with a sweet smile, looking between the three men that had so immediately captured his attention. He didn’t want to be pushy, more than happy in their company, learning more about them, about how this was going to be, growing more excited by the prospect each minute that passed between them.

Gabriel moved as Elijah wanted him to, settling on top of him and continuing his affection, as it were. He wanted Elijah to know exactly how much he wanted him. The kisses over his neck and collar bones shifted so that he could properly kiss Elijah once more, his fingers tangling in his hair. “Fuck,” he murmured against his lips. He could feel his heartbeat racing a little too fast, he could feel himself getting too carried away. He had to stop for a moment, sit up and pull back. A breathless smile on his face, Gabriel got out of bed and took a sip from the wine he’d left on the dresser. “Sorry,” he said, cheeks flushed. “Sorry.”

Nephi had to stifle a moan – in terms of sensitive spots that went straight to him, it was his neck. He cleared his throat, but a breathless chuckle still escaped him. “Oh, darling, I wouldn’t say that if I were you.” He dragged his fingers through Aeron’s hair and lightly pulled it so Aeron was looking up at Nephi once more. “Because I want everything.” He truly did – anything they could possibly do or think or say or feel, he wanted every fucking bit of it. 

Once Gabriel’s moved away, it takes no time at all for Elijah to realise it. Sitting himself up against the bed, he stands himself up, too, moves closer to the other male. Arms coil around his waist from behind, lips pressing against his shoulder. “You have nothing to apologise for,” he whispers then, chin resting against his shoulder then, gaze shifting across his features. “I liked it...” he admits, and he feels so bold with the boys and he’s enjoying this newly discovered him. “I like everything you’ve given me so far...” It’s added on, fingers now stroking across his abdomen. “And I’ll like everything you want to give me, too...” 

“That’s just making me want to say it again,” Aeron admits, and his kisses become a little rougher against Nephi’s sensitive spots. He feels a rush he’s not accustomed to rush through him, and he tugs Nephi closer, lips parted; breathless as ever. “I want everything too,” he admits, leaning in he connects their lips again, fingers gripping at his hips. “You’re perfect, you feel perfect...” words trail off, and Aeron hesitantly raises his hips, so they knock into the other’s own.

Gabriel continued lightly brushing his lips across his skin before getting a better idea. “Mm… here, lay down. I want you to be comfortable.” He guided Elijah back to a laying position so they were properly set on the bed, and Gabriel settled just to the side of him. He definitely would have preferred to stay between the boy’s legs, but that was up to him.

He dropped his head and started at the base of Elijah’s neck, kissing and sucking and biting at the skin to leave a mark that proved he now belonged to someone. There was such a sense of pride overflowing Gabriel- they were together. They had each other, and more. His hands kept gliding over Elijah’s skin, soothing and slightly teasing.

He nodded a little before setting his forehead against Aeron’s. “Out of my element, that’s all… I-I don’t know how to ask for anything all of a sudden.” How does one disturb the moment now? With his previous lovers, the only reason why they were there was to fuck, but this was a whole new dynamic and Nephi was not used to it. He didn’t know if he was stepping on land mines by asking for more.

It felt better than he even knew how to process. All he’d ever wanted was to feel wanted, but he never expected to feel it the way he did, so strongly. His fingers stroke across Gabriel’s back, growing accustomed with every inch of him, slowly but surely. Elijah wanted to make a big deal of it, a big deal of him. “You feel so good,” he admits it; through quiet whispers and breathless smiles. Eyes come to a close and he focuses on the feeling by itself; lashes fluttering sweetly as he numbs his other senses for a while. He really did love him, he loved all of them and he knew that as time progressed that feeling would only grow. He moves as best he can, so that the other is between his legs again, needing every inch of his skin against his own that he could get. 

Aeron laughs at that, only because he relates to it. His gaze focuses in on Nephi’s own, and he feels consumed by what he feels for him. “I know what you mean,” he confesses oh so quietly, teeth gnawing at his bottom lip. He doesn’t want to take advantage of this moment, or Nephi, of anything. He doesn’t want to be too quick, or rush, or...heaven forbid too slow. He decides to focus on pressing kisses across his neck, locating any soft and weak spots he might have against his skin. Aeron wants to learn everything about Nephi,about his body, his mind, his soul. “Whatever you want, I want.” He knows it, even without getting inside of his mind. That’s...how it felt, like they were all connected, beyond anything else he’d experienced before. Ever.

With a slight hint of hunger in his eyes, Gabriel slowly helped Elijah out of his shirt- and to make him at least feel more comfortable, Gabriel removed his own shirt as well. His eyes landed on Elijah again and he couldn’t help but bite his lip, shaking his head. “Fuck… you truly are the most gorgeous man I’ve ever seen, Eli…” A grin spread across his face and he leaned in, lightly brushing his lips on Elijah’s collar bones for a moment. “Can I leave a mark?”

When Aeron broke the kiss, Nephi gazed down at him, nothing but adoration in his eyes. “Are you alright?” he murmured softly, his hand moving to lightly grace Aeron’s cheek. It was always important for Nephi to check in on people. He knew what it was like to have things continue when he didn’t want it. He refused to let that happen to these boys, no way.

Elijah tries his best to make taking his shirt off easy, gaze transfixed on Gabriel’s frame immediately after. “You’re one to talk,” he speaks through hushed whispers, fingers grazing across the blond’s back cutely, cheeks burning with a red glow. Every little touch, every brush of Gabriel’s lips is enough to have him swooning. “Y-yes,” he agrees with a nod of his head, “you can do whatever you want to,” for someone who usually liked to plan and know for sure what was happening every last moment of his day, his life, Elijah easily succumbs to wanting to live in the moment, one hand tangling with his hair.

Aeron leans into Nephi’s touch, a smile curling onto his features once again. “I’m more than alright, Nephi.” He speaks as reassuringly as he can, gaze full of fondness, arms coiling slightly tighter around his frame. “As long as you are too,” he adds on without question, pressing a kiss to his cheek; delicate, sweet, gentle.

Gabriel’s hands lightly clutched at the back of Elijah’s shirt, keeping him in place. A few moments of this past and he gazes up at him, lightly toying with the fabric of his shirt. “May I?” he asks softly, implying he wanted to remove Elijah’s shirt. “I wanna kiss you.” Kneeling there, slotted between Elijah’s knees, Gabriel found the place he truly belonged. 

Kissing Aeron was all Nephi needed to correct himself. Now, he felt engaged with the moment, no longer dwelling in his horrible past. He was with Aeron, with Gabriel and Elijah in spirit. He was home. He returned the kiss easily, even in one point he went as slow as he could, but he made his way to straddle Aeron’s lap, just to make things easier. His fingers were in Aeron’s hair, and he never felt more… well… in love.

Elijah doesn’t think twice about it, immediately nodding his head at Gabriel’s desire to take off his shirt. Later on, he might think back on the moment -- how he didn’t feel scared that it’d change everything, that his anxiety is nowhere to be found even if he rarely liked to be shirtless if he could help it. Scared of being judged, insecurities getting the best of him. Now though, he’s too distracted by the boys, by how happy he feels and safe, and sure that nothing can ruin it. “I want you to, too.” He admits, legs easing a little closer, keeping him in place. 

Aeron beams happily against Nephi’s lips, arms wrapping around his waist once he’s in his lap. It feels right, all of it does; having him so close, kissing him. It’s how everything is supposed to be. The more sure he’s ever been in his life. One hand cups his cheek, nudging his nose against Nephi’s other cheek. His heart is frantic, but he’s never felt so calm; free hand gripping at material of the other male’s shirt that rests nearest his hip.

Gabriel laughed as Elijah squirmed about, showing just how truly adorable he could be. When he heard the word ‘stop’, naturally he did so; the last thing he wanted was to continue if Elijah truly didn’t want it. Instead he ensured the boy was sitting on the bed, and he started trailing kisses across his torso instead, fingers grazing about. Much softer than tickling, much more adoring.

Nephi’s lips parted slightly. He was in true awe of Aeron, so much so that it made him freeze and take stock of all that was happening around him. Gabriel and Elijah sharing their moment, himself and Aeron standing nearby… was this real? This was happening, correct? His hands trailed down Aeron’s torso, down his arms to greet his hands, taking them carefully. He walked Aeron to the bed slowly and sat down. “C'mere,” he murmured.“

As Gabriel stops, changes his actions Elijah stays quiet, watching him endearingly, gaze full of love, that really was undeniable. His fingers start to stroke in his golden hair, heart still keeping the same beat that it had whilst he was being tickled. So overwhelmed by everything, though consumed by it too. “That feels good,” he admits as quietly as he can utter, thumbs stroking against the back of his neck, behind his ears; each action gentle, soft. Wanting to make Gabriel feel as good as Elijah felt in that moment. 

Without a thought, or word Aeron follows Nephi’s lead. His gaze transfixed upon the other male’s, more than happy with how everything had started up again. Towering over him for a moment or two, he moves so he’s sitting beside him, hands cupping his cheeks, connecting their lips together again. Risk taking was a part of Aeron’s nature, but not when feelings were concerned. With Nephi and Gabriel and Elijah, however, he felt as though they were worth every risk, every bout of sadness he might feel, ever, would be made up with overwhelming happiness and love.

“Oh yeah? So you don’t care if I test it out then, do you!” He said, pulling Elijah to the bed, his hands shooting out to tickle the bronze-haired boy’s sides. Gabriel was laughing hard, enjoying the sight and sound of Elijah’s joy. God, he loved him. He glanced over at Nephi and Aeron, a light blush gracing Gabriel’s cheeks. They were so beautiful. He had made it a personal mission of his to give all of these boys the love they so deserved. It was his new job, one that he hoped to have forever.

Nephi simply breathed Aeron in, taking deep calming breaths to correct himself and get him back to where he was before everything. Gazing up at the taller man, pink blooms on his tan cheeks. “And I you… you call me interesting, but you’re the most endlessly fascinating person I’ve ever met. I doubt you’re as annoying as you say. I can handle annoying pretty well.” He leaned in and started pressing kisses to his neck, his hands drifting to rest at Aeron’s hips.

As soon as Gabriel’s intent becomes clear to him, Elijah’s eyes widen hastily, hands reaching out to try and stop him from giving the game away, “no, no, no,” before another no can be uttered, he’s already squirming due to the tickling, giggling despite his best efforts. “S-stop,” he was able to practically whine out through giggles, the smile on his lips remaining now. Despite the torture he was happy; content in the knowledge that they were all there again, all safe. “You-you’re so mean!” 

Aeron’s smile is coated in fondness. If he had it his way, he’d never part from the three who’d so immediately captured his attention, and his adoration. It was a scenario he’d never have believed had he read it in a book, or news article, but now he was happy to have been proven wrong. About life, about love. Though the world wouldn’t escape his lips anytime soon, vulnerability still concerning him. Even more so after how Nephi reacted. He beams at him as he speaks, pressing a kiss to his shoulder, fingers stroking across the back of his neck. “I hope you continue to believe that.” He admits, resting his cheek against his shoulder, bending down slightly to perform the action. “I think the same about you. The most endlessly fascinating person, I want to know everything about you. No matter how long that takes.”

Gabriel and Nephi walked back to the bedroom, and god dammit, Gabriel wanted things to be good again. Laughter was long overdue. The sparkle of mischief appeared in his eyes, and without warning he rushed over and wrapped his arms around Elijah, spinning the man around and keeping him in his embrace. He pressed kisses to his neck and shoulders, all to get him to laugh. 

Nephi watched Gabriel and couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight. “Please tell me you’re all ticklish- I’d like to exploit that to the fullest extent.” He was still shaky, still broken up from before, but he was going to make an effort to participate in the fun. Once everyone was in the bedroom, he turned and wrapped his arms around Aeron in a hug. “I care for you,” he murmured into the crook of the taller man’s neck. Nephi’s way of saying ‘I love you’ without the consequences of the Word itself.

Elijah was tense, anxiety provoked by the former conversation. He hoped it would dissipate soon, and he’s thankful for the way Gabriel wraps his arms around him, even if he’s startled by it. Laughter falls, and he finds it hard to keep the tension inside of him; it dissipates after sometime, glaring playfully in the other’s direction, though he naturally leans into his embrace, “you almost gave me a heart attack!” He tease pouts as he gets his breath back, arms wrapping around his neck. “Nope. No. No way. I’m not admitting to that, I cam not ticklish at all.” He lies dramatically, looking over at Nephi, face scrunching up for dramatic effect. 

Aeron snorts at Elijah’s reaction, and the sight of Elijah and Gabriel together. “I think that means he is ticklish, if you asked me about it...” He trails off then, his smile only growing as the warm rebuilds inside of the room. He is startled by Nephi’s hug, but his arms coil back around him in return, happy to hear the words that he does. “And I care for you, too.” He repeats them, because there were a billion and one ways to admit how they felt for one another, understanding now that the three words would take sometime, respectful of that, too. “And I’m excited to learn every little thing about you,” another way, his hand cupping his cheek with care; thumb grazing across his skin, “including all the annoying little thing you do,” he plays, cheeky smile across his features; crinkling up the corners of his eyes. “though I doubt there’s many...or any. And it’ll just be me with annoying little habits.”

Letting go of Elijah’s hand, he moved to kneel in front of Nephi, just to catch his eye. “We will love you no matter what. Even if you can’t say it back tomorrow, in six months, in a year, in ten years- it doesn’t matter. We care about you. So, so fucking much.” His hand went out to take Nephi’s hand. He brought it to his lips, pressing a sweet kiss to his hand. 

Looking down at Gabriel, he took a few moments before leaning in for a kiss. A thank-you of sorts. He wasn’t sure how to communicate his feelings now. When they pulled apart, he glanced over at the others, blinking his tears away. “I want to go back to how we were before I messed up, if- if that’s okay. I want to forget.” His accent was thicker when he was emotional – Nephi was never very outwardly emotional, so he never really noticed it before. These little discoveries helped to ground him, bring him back to planet earth with the boys that… loved him. 

“Can we go back to bed? Go back to- to kissing, and smiling, and all those other pretty things?” A smile appeared on his face. He was desperate to see the others smile – he needed their joy; his would follow.

Elijah sits on the arm of the couch, watching everything play out quietly. Nothing else needs to be said, and he can’t think of anything to say if it does need to be. As Nephi talks again, his gaze drifts towards his own, nodding his head as he raises himself from where he’d sat himself down. “Sure,” he speaks quietly, clearing his throat as soon as he’s said it. Turning on his heel he makes his way towards the bedroom they’d just come from, teeth nipping at his lower lip. 

Aeron too nods his head, a short smile forming across his lips as he stands up, fingers sliding into the confines of his back pockets. He waits for Gabriel and Nephi to move past him first. He doesn’t know what the future has in store, but he’s relieved in that moment. That for now, things can be good -- great, even. At least that’s what he hoped for now.
