The Love Between US [BxBxB]

6. When Your Heart Is Hurting

*Luca POV* 

"Here love, it will soothe your throat and help you sleep," 

I offered to the small teacup to Thomas, my only offering that could make him feel better as he laid in bed on top of the comforter with his back against Matthias' chest. He gave me a small smile and took it from me with a small nod.

"Thank you angel," he sighed and took a small sip from the steaming cup as I put the small tray down on the nightstand, handing Matthias his as well before snuggling up beside them. 

"Do you want to talk about her?" I asked and then bit my lip, fearing it was too soon. He slowly shook his head as he took another sip.

"Not right now...but she said she wanted to meet you guys," He sighed. Sitting up and facing both of us.

"What was her name?" Matthias asked, resting his hand on my inner thigh as we tried to prod for answers to the many questions we had about the woman we had never met.

"Her name was Rumi," Thomas admits and I'm taken aback. How did he never mention her name before or the fact he named our son after her? Or were we just too stupid to notice?

"You never told me that you wanted to name Roo after your mother," Matthias spits out and I was just as uneasy. 

I thought I was the only one with secrets.

"I haven't seen my mother in so long, I thought I would never see her again to be honest with you and I didn't want to get into the story of how my father kicked me out. It's too painful to think about nevermind to tell. All I know is I'm going to be a better father to my own children. Or at least I'll try to be," He explains taking a last sip of tea before putting his cup down. 

"You're already a better father, just look at how the babies look at you," Matthias mentions and Thomas nods, turning to me and kissing me gently.

"Thank you, sweetheart, that made me feel a little bit better," Thomas whispered softly between our kiss and I saw Matthias out of the corner of my eye looking down. Thomas turned to him next and kissed him as well, whispering something that just the two of them could hear that made Matthias smile.

I put down my own finished cup and got into bed under the covers, snuggling up beside Thomas as I flipped the baby monitor on and watched the little ones rolling around in their sleep for a bit. Matthias turned off the lights and I closed my eyes, moving closer to Thomas' back as he curled up to Matthias. 

"Can you guys imagine what it would be like if we just had a full-size bed," I whispered, hearing Thomas sniffle a little, wanting to take his mind off his tragic loss for just one moment. 

"One of you...would be sleeping on the floor...and it wouldn't be me," Thomas adds, sniffling in between his sentence. I kissed the nape of his neck and traced soothing circles in his back, wanting my husband to feel better but knowing that just wouldn't be possible for a while. 

"Oh yeah? Who would you kick to the floor then? Luca or me?" Matthias asked, catching my drift in trying to distract him and he shifts a little.

"You guys could take turns," He yawns and I propped myself up on my elbow so I could kiss his wet cheek.

"Take turns? When have we ever been good at sharing anything that isn't each other?" I asked poking his side as I do so.

"Fine, you guys can fight to the death then," Thomas mumbles under his breath and I quietly giggle.

"That's not fair, Matthias would instantly lose," I mention only to get a smack on the shoulder from my other husband.

"Hey! I'm just as strong as you are and I carried five babies, don't test me mother fucker," He grows and Thomas swats at both of us as we play fight.

"Alright I get it, you're trying to distract me and you guys are really freaking cute but can I just sleep?" Thomas asks and Matthias and I go back to our snuggly selves, curling up beside him with all of our legs tangling together. 

"Of course, goodnight my love,"
