SMG3 slowly opened his eyes to the start of another new day. He squinted at the sunlight that was peering into his bedroom and tilted his head to avoid it from getting in his eyes. He inhaled through his nostrils, then gave a deep exhale. He stared at the wall, needing to process the very feeling of being awake. He opened his mouth in a great, big yawn like a lion, then smacked his lips. Another exhale. He needed to coach himself through the chore of existing all over again.

Today was Sunday, he thought. He had a stream to do with Meggy in approximately twenty minutes from now. That was hopefully enough time to wake up, make himself a coffee, and get ready for it. He smiled a bit, dearly looking forward to it. In recent weeks, he'd been growing closer with her. She had such a cool personality. She was easy to approach and make small talk with, and SMG4 was the person to get them to be closer friends. And you know SMG3 and Meggy: they'd do anything for SMG4.

SMG4 was still asleep, nuzzled up against SMG3's dominant arm, although beginning to stir. SMG3 looked over at him and smiled lazily. His arm was getting numb from the weight of SMG4's head resting on it, but he didn't mind. SMG3 raised his hand to gently run his fingers through his boyfriend's hair. He placed a chaste and very tender kiss on his forehead.

"Good morning, handsome." SMG3 whispered, continuing to stroke his hair.

SMG4 exhaled through his nose and smiled ear-to-ear. He did not open his eyes, instead snuggling closer to SMG3. SMG3 embraced him and left kisses all over his forehead and face, to which SMG4 giggled and playfully tried hiding his face. SMG3 chuckled and embraced him tightly in his strong arms, not wanting to let go.

"Three!" SMG4 fake whined, still wearing that smile that SMG3 so genuinely loved seeing.

"Whatever is the matter?" SMG3 played innocent, merciless in his onslaught of face kisses. "Can't I give my handsome little man some good morning kisses?"

SMG4 responded by eagerly pushing himself into SMG3's embrace, smiling against the crook of his neck. SMG3 couldn't stop smiling either. He hugged him tightly and traced light circles over his back.

"Cuddle with me for ten more minutes." SMG4 pleaded. "You can start your day later. It's not a request, either. It's a threat."

"I've got a scheduled stream soon, babe." SMG3 snorted at the joke. "Meggy's gonna be my special guest today."

"Tell Meggy to wait." SMG4 buried his face deeper into SMG3's neck, getting clingy. "It's an emergency."

"No, it's not."

"You won me over with your kisses, so now I won't let you leave the bed."

"You're an idiot." SMG3 chuckled, his tone affectionate.

"I'm your idiot." SMG4 reminded him, kissing his cheek. "What are you streaming today?"

"More BTD6 shit." SMG3 yawned loudly. "There's a boss run active right now. We're going to try and beat the Elite boss."

"Mm, sounds like fun." SMG4 closed his eyes, moving to rest his head on SMG3's chest. "Tell me more."

"I'm like, over level one hundred, I think." SMG3 carried on, trying to remember the details to his account. "I've played this game a lot. It's addicting. Meggy's a lower level than me since I was the one who got her invested in the first place. She's been telling Tari about it, too, so I think that means we've got another one to convert."

"Of course Tari would be interested. Ain't a gamer cyborg for nothing." SMG4 smiled. "I'm happy that you've found a game to play together."

"Hell yeah." SMG3 already felt so warm and fuzzy inside. "Maybe I could get you into it, too. It could be like... a double date!"

"Yeah? I'd do anything if it's with you." SMG4's face lit up.

SMG3 beamed at this. Now it was his turn to smile from ear to ear. He was swelling with affection just from those words alone. Before he could speak, there was a loud knock to their bedroom door, followed by tumbling and a series of excited barks.

"Eggdog!" both exclaimed in unison.

"C'mere, boy, I've got'cha!" SMG3 reached his other hand down on his side of the bed. Eggdog placed himself on his owner's outstretched palm so that he could be scooped onto the bed. The first thing he did was pelt SMG3's face with excited licks, earning pleasant chuckles from him. SMG4 would not be spared, as Eggdog paid his full attention onto him next.

"We're happy to see you, too, boy." SMG4 cooed to the dog, rubbing his rounded sides. Eggdog nestled himself comfortably between the two loverbirds, curling his tail in towards himself. SMG4 placed his hand on him. The two exchanged a soft glance, at total ease.

"Love you, Four." SMG3 tried not to get emotional. "I mean it, too."

"It's hard to believe how that we used to be rivals." SMG4 sighed thoughtfully, "You hated my guts..."

"and you hated mine..." Three continued, as though reading his mind.

"...then you caught feelings first..."

"Hey!"

"...and then I reciprocated them."

SMG4 smiled at him, and he simply smiled back, entranced by how handsome his lover was. "You make a man like me feel like the luckiest on Earth." SMG3 said, "Y'know, I was scared to admit my feelings to you, 'cuz I thought I'd just be adding on to your other problems at the time.

"Three..." SMG4's smile quickly dropped.

"And I had nobody to tell, obviously. Well, except for Meggy, I guess. I kind of just accepted that I was out of your league, like, wow, SMG3, really? It was stupid, now that I think about it." SMG3 gives himself a pity chuckle, often known for making his problems into uncomfortable jokes.

"Don't say that." SMG4 pleaded, pressing a finger to SMG3's lips.

"I just-" SMG3 stopped himself from going any further, as he knew that he didn't want to end up upsetting SMG4. "I will never find somebody like you again."

SMG4 faltered on his words. He sighed, then reached to stroke his thumb across Three's cheek to soothe him.

"Hey," he spoke softly, "it's okay now. You have me and always will. We've been dating for a little over a year and I seriously am glad it's you out of anyone else."

"I love you." SMG4 voice came in a murmur. He tilted his head into SMG4's hand, craving his intimate touch. "You managed to soften me up so much ever since. You should feel proud of yourself."

"Oh, I am." SMG4 flicked his tongue at him playfully. "Never have I predicted that I'd win the heart of the world's most stubborn man."

"And never have I predicted being smitten by you and your efforts..." SMG3 smirked. 

The two basked in each other's affection to take a little more time to wake up, exchanging humorous jokes and chuckles and talking about their plans for the day. Then SMG3 abruptly sat up.

"Oh- shit, my STREAM! FUCK!"

A few moments after SMG3 hurried himself out of bed, Eggdog woke up from his little nap and curiously followed him, barking after him. SMG4 leaned over the bed to watch him from the doorway.

"What're you gonna tell Meggy for being late?" he asked.

"You were the one making me feel all these gay feelings inside!" SMG3 sputtered defensively from another room.

"We're dating, you idiot!" SMG4 called after him. "C'mon, just call it off today!"

"Guh- Babe, I know you're the most important thing in my life but I promised Meggy!" SMG3 hopped back into their bedroom to get himself a fresh change of clothes and then went into the bathroom. "I ain't gonna disappoint her!"

"Aww, but Three..." SMG4 pouted.

"Four, quit it! You can be a complete slut for my affection later!"

"DUDE!" SMG4 started cackling like a hyena, "Ohh god, I love you." He went back to laying down and stared at the ceiling, smitten by his man. A goofy smile was spread across his face, cheeks a dusty pink. Eggdog quickly joined him back on the bed and curled up on his stomach as he closed his eyes to rest.
