Triphilia - together forever | one-shots

Apart |1|

When Avi woke up, he was alone in the huge bed. He sighed as he turned around to look at the clock: 8.30. No wonder the bed was empty, Scott and Mitch had yet another studio day, starting early and ending late. It had been this way for the past two weeks. And before it had been he himself, who had been working on music. Not with such a tight schedule, but still, triad time had, once again, be cut short.

It was hard on him, spending his days alone while his boyfriends were together, but Avi had learned how to cope with it. He knew that his boyfriends didn't leave him alone, because they wanted to be without him, but because it was their work. Superfruit was their side project just as Avriel and the Sequoias was his. And whenever they would come home, they would show him their love. Still there were times he was already in bed, already asleep and they would just snuggle up to him and go to sleep, too.

It had been this way for the past three nights. And the past two nights, his boyfriends had even slept in the spare bedroom.

He took his phone and smiled when he saw that both, Scott and Mitch had texted in their groupchat:

"Good morning, Love. I hope you're well rested and ready to tackle the day. We decided to sleep alone again, because it was 1.30 when we came home and we had to get up at 7.30. I miss you and I hope that we'll be able to be together, soon. I don't know when we'll be out tonight, but I really want to see you before you go to Visalia for the weekend. We miss you and we love you. Xx Scott."

"Hey Honey, how are you! It's a bummer that we're all home but not together. I miss you and I feel bad for leaving you alone again tonight. I hope you'll have a nice day anyway and I'll hopefully see you tonight, handsome! I love you XxXx Mitchy."

Even though it was hard being without them, Avi knew that they had meant it when they texted that he wanted to come home early enough. He took his phone and texted back into the groupchat:

"Good morning sweethearts. I'm fine. I just got up and will do some meditation first before I run errands and see Kevin for some songwriting. I, too, will be home early enough and would be happy to have you with me. As always, don't feel guilty if you cannot make it, but if you can, I would like to cook for you, you're probably living off take-out, aren't you? I love you so much and I'll hopefully see you, too. Kisses, Avi."

After he had sent the text, he got up and got dressed for the day. He took his guitar and went outside to meditate and jam a little bit, before he had to really start on his chores.

"Hello sweetheart. I am so sorry, but we won't be able to make it to dinner. Take out sucks, you're right about that, but it'll have to do, again. We love you X Scott."

Avi sighed when he read the message.

"Are you okay?" Kevin, with whom he had just been working on a new song, asked him.

Avi smiled slightly and nodded. "Yeah, just Scott and Mitch. They're working on their album and it'll be another late night." He sighed.

"Such a bummer. Wanna come over for dinner? Leigh would be happy and you know how much Leila loves her Uncle" Kevin offered.

Avi smiled. "I''d love to, but I'm leaving for Visalia early tomorrow and I am still hoping to at least be able to cuddle with them before bedtime. But I might take you up on that offer, soon."

Kevin smiled. "Please do! And come by anytime you wish if you get lonely..."

"I'll be alright. And I have almost written another LP." He chuckled.

"Longing makes your creative flow start, huh?"

"Mmhm..." Avi hummed and once again looked at his notes. "We made some good progress."
