Three's A Lovely Crowd - Poly!Niotr x Reader
summary: a lovely morning
You wake up to warmth draped across your stomach, with stubbled frizz and a nose gently pressing against your neck.
The nose lifts up a little at your disturbance, before he swathes his arm over your torso -- pulling himself snug against you.
You shift your head just a little, as Nathan's head lay over your right shoulder; a light snore whirring against your neck -- almost like a lullaby.
His silky soft, salt and pepper hair rests against your jawline, and you couldn't help but run your fingers through them.
When you look to your right, you see Piotr's chest, broad and relaxed -- the sunshine angled over his shiny black hair, tousled and thick; with a few strands of hair falling on his face. The light just about misses his eyes -- and you chuckle to yourself when you think about the times when he would wake up squinting against the sun.
Today was You-Day.
Ever since the three of you got together that one fateful day, it had been nothing short of an adventure.
It had been you and Nathan first; the countless days spent training had propelled you both into a fiery affair that left you breathless on the best of days.
Then, as the nights got grim and heavy -- wrought with injuries you still can't wash off -- it was Piotr who would tirelessly work to take care of the both of you.
It was confusing for you and Nathan both; the onslaught of feelings for Piotr that extended beyond just platonic.
It was you who brought it up one day, as you and Nathan watched Piotr on the grounds of the porch, dutifully giving piggy back rides to 5 kids at a time -- much to the glee of the children as they tried to climb onto his tall silver form.
Imagine your surprise as a bashful Piotr takes the both of your proposals with a flattered welcome.
This new set-up was much welcomed, as far as you were concerned -- especially in the cold winter nights.
Each of you would take turns being the one in the middle -- dubbed either "Piotr-day", "Nathan-day" or "Y/N-day".
And there was never a shortage of love to go around.
You feel Piotr rousing from his sleep, his large hands moving from their place over both you and Nathan.
He grunts shortly, and with a heavy sigh he rubs his eyes awake.
His eyes were always marvelous sight in the mornings -- kind and warm baby blues matched with a smile like a tug of a welcome home. It was a rare thing -- to see him in human form; and you would always take in as much of him as you could.
"Goodmorning, myshka," he breathes as he pulls you close to place a gentle kiss on your temple.
You twitter a laugh as you wrap your free arm around his neck to stop him from getting off the bed. Your other hand was preoccupied with Nate's hair -- gently running over them as his body rose and fell with his breathing.
He chuckles a deeply kept rumble.
"Shh, myshka, Nathan is still sleeping. And I need to get up now to make breakfast," he whispers as he places a hand over yours, moving it away from his neck.
Nathan yawns, still laid against your neck, and reached out an arm to catch Piotr. His voice was still raspy from sleeping, and his eyes weren't even open -- "You could stay in bed longer, big guy. We have some time before the younggins get up for the day."
Piotr thinks for a moment, and you interject a thought -- "I'm inclined to agree with Nate," you give him a mischievous pointed smile.
"This is what they call 'emotional blackmail'?" Piotr jests as he returns to his spot next to you, leaning over to Nate to place a kiss on his cheek.
Nate smiles at the kiss -- eyes still not open -- "not if you'd rather stay in bed anyway."
Piotr once again wraps his arms around the both of you -- and a grateful warmth immediately envelopes the both of you.
He pushes an affectionate kiss onto your cheek as he spoons you from the side, letting his head rest against the space between your neck and shoulder.
"You both make me so happy," he breathes as his eyelids close. You turn your head slightly, his forehead lined a little above your chin.
You press your lips to his forehead.
"You took the words right out of my mouth, Piotr."
You could definitely get used to this. And you couldn't wait for Nathan to get his day in the middle tomorrow.
