The Barbers

Summary: This one is not Kylo this is a Barberverse head cannon If Andy and Charlie barber were family of sorts...

You sit across from the two men you had known practically all of your childhood and still, you couldn't help but think of them as strangers. It had been so many years and so many things had happened. So many terrible things. To all of you. You were adults now and had you thought all of the drama was left behind you in collage.

You had not.

But right here and right now, that one night in collage lay fresh in your mind.

In all of your minds.

It had been the only time the three of you had allowed yourself to act on impulse. After that night you had all gone your separate ways, barely able to mumble your awkward goodbyes in the morning.

The men before you were step brothers, and had always had a small rivalry because of their closeness in age. You had been inseparable as children but after that one night...

You had always wondered if that night had ruined their relationship because they had gone completely separate ways after that. Charlie had gone off to New York and become a successful theatre director and Andy had become some big shot ADA in Massachusetts. You were a Doctor now, who travelled between the coasts, a psychologist a damned good one too. You had been on the NY Times bestsellers list twice.

But then all of that went away.

For all of you.

In one way or another.

None of which were pleasant.

That's how you found yourself in a hotel room with the two men looking expectantly between the two, waiting for them to respond to the question you'd just asked.

You heart thudded.

They were silent for a beat then Charlie sat back on the rose coloured Queen Anne chair to your right and crossed one leg over the other, his face solemn. While Andy sat forward his elbows resting atop his knees his hands hanging down between them.

Andy looked up to you his blue eyes had darkened a little like they did when he was a kid and you knew you were all about to something that would get you all in trouble. You grinned up at him knowing his answer without words and the pair of you looked over to Charlie. He had always been the more subdued out of the three of you. It was always harder to convince to go in on your childish pranks even if you had been children at the time. He seldom  let loose, and by the bob of his adam's apple you could tell he was already mulling it over and the possible outcomes.

Andy arched a brow before he turned back to you with a grin wide on his face, "I mean, I'm ok if he doesn't want to."

You shook you head with a laugh and stood up moving to sit on the arm of the chair Charlie was seated in. You put your hand on his bent knee, "It's ok if you don't. You're not going to hurt my feelings you know. I'm a big girl, I can take rejection."

He pinched the bridge of his nose between his thumb and forefinger and you took that moment to observe him while he wasn't looking. His strong profile had only matured with age, so had Andy's. They were like a fine whisky that only got better the more years that passed.

Charlie ran his fingers though his hair and looked up at you before he spoke, his voice deep reverberating right through you, "Alright Angel," he said using your childhood nickname. Your heart lifted and you smiled down to him as he continued placing his large warm hand over yours, "I would be an idiot to turn you down."

You stood, "Just one night," you said peeling off you blazer and laying it over the arm of the sofa next to him. "One night, to signify that we are all starting over."

Andy stood unbuttoning his own blazer and placing over yours then he pressed himself into your side, nuzzling into your neck, placing kisses all down the side of your neck. The whiskers of his beard sending tingles down your spine as he spoke, "One night, as a reset for all the bullshit that's happened to us over the years." Andy's hand fell to the small of your back, so hot through the silky fabric.

Charlie uncrossed his legs his hand reaching out to clasp yours, "One night to fix us."

You nodded, swallowing the emotion that welled up your throat.

Charlie's thumb rubbed soothing lazy circles on the back of your hand. He stood towering over you as he came to the other side of you. His opposite hand came up to cup your cheek, his fingers splayed on the back of your neck before he leaned his forehead against yours.

Wonder filled amber eyes stared into yours and for a moment you were transported back in time. Back to a time that you were all fumbling inexperienced teenagers. But now it was different, even with these small touches your skin already tingled beneath their gentle touch.  He pressed his lips softly against yours opening fully to you, exploring you.

Andy's fingers began to deftly unclasp the small pearl buttons down the front of your blouse as he pressed himself into you from behind.

Pulling away Charlie lead you towards the king sized hotel bed his large hand engulfing yours. Andy behind you grasped your other hand in his. You felt warm, loved and happy for the first time in longer than you could remember.

You would never forget this night for as long as you lived.

Neither would they.
