Maybe I am

costume planning

A/N I'm back from hell, I had an idea and wanted to write it. ALSO- this has some DHMIS spoilers in it, so if you don't wanna read those, you don't have to read this

Steve POV:

"Are you sure, love?" I asked, looking at the photo reference Larry had given me for costumes. Once Rob said he wanted to be Wednesday Addams for halloween, Larry suggested him and I dress as Morticia and Gomez. "The dress really isn't my sort of thing" I said, fixing my hair. "Oh, come on, please? It'll be a family costume, and we both know that wearing the sailor moon costume every year is getting old" he said, sitting in front of me on our bed. Rob was in his room, probably not asleep, but he was in his room, so that's good. I huffed. "The sailor moon cosplay isn't getting old, but I guess a family costume would be nice" I said. It would be lovely to wear a family costume with Larry and Rob, and wearing a dress would be nice. "Exactly! And if we do dress as them, I'll even fuck you like Gomez, too~" Larry whispered the last part. I pushed him and he laughed. "Don't tease" I said, crossing my arms. I'm not mad, but if he thinks I'm mad he'll pay even more attention to me. "Alright, alright, I'm sorry. Come on, let's go to bed. We have work in the morning" Larry said, hugging me and pulling me down into his arms. I buried my face into his chest and smiled. Larry ran his fingers through my hair. "I wasn't joking, you know~" he said, starting to run his hands across my back. I shivered. "Maybe I'll let you~" I said, lifting my face from his chest. Our eyes met, and we stared at each other for a bit. Larry then connected the gap between us, starting a sleepy, lazy kiss. No intention behind it. I happily kissed back, putting my arms around his neck. This is exactly what I wanted. He tugged at my hair for me to pull away. "Babe, Rob knocked" Larry said, a bit breathlessly. I hadn't realized I had started pushing his face down to the point he couldn't pull away. "Sorry, hon" I said, getting off him and quickly sliding on my slippers before opening the door. "Rob, dear, what do you need?" I asked, looking down at him. He looked a bit distressed. "...are you alright?" I asked. "I wanted to ask if I coul..." Rob's sentence for mumbled at the end and was inaudible. "What was that, Rob?" I asked, careful with my tone. I didn't want to upset him even more. "I-its stupid" it choked out (QUICK A/N: ROB USES HE/IT IN THIS BC HE WOULD, FIGHT ME). "Nonsense, I'm sure whatever it is matters" I said, opening my arms a bit, offering a hug. "I had a nightmare and I wanted to ask if I could stay with you guys for a bit until I forgot it" Rob said, hugging me. "Of course, let me ask Larry. One moment, dear" I said. He nodded and I walked back to Larry and I's bed. "Is it alright if Rob hangs out with us for a bit? He had a nightmare" I asked Larry. "Oh, yeah, that's fine" Larry said. I kissed his cheek before walking back to the door and letting Rob in. "Sorry" Rob said, walking with me. "Oh, you have no reason to apologize, Rob. You didn't do anything wrong" I said, offering another hug. "You didn't do anything, Rob. You're fine" Larry said. Rob smiled at us. "I bet you got that nightmare from that puppet show you started watching. What's it called? The one with the red stringy guy?" I said, sitting on the bed next to Larry. Rob climbed into the bed, too. "It's called 'dont hug me I'm scared', and the red stringy guy's name is red guy" Rob said, starting to explain parts of it. He started watching the show a couple days ago, and he would talk about it non-stop. He had developed a hyperfixation and I could tell. I didn't mind listening to him, some parts just disturb me a bit. It is supposed to be a horror series, so it makes sense.

THIRTY MINUTES LATER:

"Wait, so there's a weird lady who controls them all in the attic of their house?" Larry asked, looking puzzled. Rob was explaining the 'lore', or whatever it was called. I was paying attention, but not a lot of attention. "Yeah, and her name is Leslie and people think she's actually dating Roy and that yellow guy really is her son and-" Rob was cut off by his own yawn. "Getting tired, Rob?" I asked. "Yeah. I can go now if you want" Rob said, starting to push himself off the bed. "No no, you can continue explaining that to Larry and then go to bed" I said. It sucks when you get cut off from talking about an interest, and I knew that feeling way too well. Rob smiled and continued explaining. "Wow, I never thought a puppet show could be so dark" Larry said, looking at nothing in particular. "I should go to bed now. Goodnight, Dad's" Rob said, walking out of the room. "Goodnight, Rob!" I yelled, making sure he heard me. I waited until I heard the door click to hug Larry. "He called us dad!" I said, shaking my hands quickly. "Yes, babe, he called us dad. I know you're excited, but he calls us dad at least once everyday" Larry said, smiling at me. He was starting to stim too. "It's still exciting!" I said, shaking my hands even faster. "Come on, calm down so we can cuddle" Larry said, giggling at me. After a minute or two, I stopped my hands and hugged him tightly. "I need to breathe, damnit" Larry muttered. Let go a bit. He was smiling. "Goodnight, Larry" I said, kissing him. He kissed back and then pulled away. "Goodnight, Steve" he said, kissing my forehead.
