Around a week after my amazing discovery, I had been awoken by banging coming from the front door. I was still sleeping on the couch because it didn't feel right for me to sleep with the other guys. My feelings hadn't dwindled down even the slightest bit, so it was hard to face them sometimes.
I got up groggily and pulled the door open, immediately being woken up by seeing Rylan at the door. This time it was just him though.
"Howdy! Just wanted to pop by and chat!" He told me as he forced his way into the house.
I closed the door and sprinted upstairs to get the guys. No way was I going to be with Rylan alone, I had learned my lesson.
I walked into the bedroom but paused seeing both of them sleeping in only their boxers. Fuck. I sighed and walked over to Lachlan, trying my best to shake him awake. After a few tries I moved to try Nikolai.
I had just barely touched him when he startled awake. He grabbed my arm and the next thing I knew, I was under him. His hair was all messed up from having slept in it while it was down. He looked gorgeous as he hovered above me and I couldn't help but let my eyes wander down his nice chest.
"Shit. S-sorry dude. Ju-ust habit, I g-guess." He told me as he sat back, getting off of me and giving me space to sit up.
"What's going on?" Lachlan asked sleepily as he noticed me. "What were you two doing and why is he blushing?" Lachlan asked as he pointed to my face. I raised my hands to cover my face as Nikolai laughed in his deep morning voice.
"Di-did you need som-mething from u-us?" Nikolai asked me, completely ignoring Lachlan's questions, I nodded and got up. I threw some clothes at them before tilting my head to the doorway to tell them to come out when they were ready.
I walked back downstairs after that and awkwardly waited for them to come down. Rylan had made himself at home on the couch and rolled his eyes when he saw me come back.
"Why'd you leave so fast, that was rude of you." He told me. I stiffened from his tone and sat as far away from him as I could. Before he could talk again, Nikolai and Lachlan appeared from upstairs.
"Oh Rylan! I didn't know you were here." Lachlan said as he sat down next to him. Nikolai sat next to me and subtly grabbed my hand. He squeezed it softly and I help me calm down a bit.
"Oh yeah, I wanted to pop by and chat. How has it been here? I know Damien can be a lot." Rylan said as he settled into the couch smugly. I felt Nikolai's are twitch from beside me and looked up to see his face clear of any emotion.
"Oh it's great! He's actually a pleasure to be around! We've been loving it here, right Niko?" He said, looking at Nikolai to speak up.
"Yeah, it-it's been r-really nice he-re." He said.
"That's good. Damien's had a troubled past. It's easy for him to blow up so I keep stopping by to make sure you both are still ok." Rylan said, shooting me a quick glance.
My eyelid started twitching in anger as I squeezed my hands into fists, forgetting that Nikolai was holding one of them. I noticed Nikolai's tattoo had turned red and the snake was seemingly thrashing around.
"Well, we're doing good. Now if you'd excuse yourself out of here we are going to go about our day!" Lachlan said cheerily.
Rylan seemed surprised and stood up quickly, clearing his throat. "I'll se y'all soon then!" He rushed out before leaving. Lachlan followed him and locked the door directly behind him.
"What is his problem!? You're a sweetheart, why does everyone not like you?" Lachlan asked me as he turned to look at me.
'You'll find out soon enough.' I said simply before getting out of Nikolai's hold and walking to the kitchen.
