Once More With Feeling ZAINTSEE AU

Family Life

The next two days were, in Zee's opinion, perfect. It was the weekend so that meant no school which was perfect because he'd missed his baby boy so much. They started out playing Monopoly which had recently become Lee's favourite. Lee decided he wanted to team up with his Bunny so it was 2 against one. Before they begun Saint suggested a bet. Who ever wins does the dishes for a week. This made Zee incredibly happy as it meant that Saint planned on staying another week. His stomach began doing the butterfly thing until Lee yelled at him to roll the dice. The game took over an hour and Zee suffered a crushing defeat when he landed on their Mayfair which had a hotel on it. Lee and Saint cheered when Zee pretended to sulk so he'd chased them around threatening them with tickles. Seeing Saint so carefree and obviously loving spending time with Lee was just precious to Zee.

After that they prepared some food together. Zee had ordered the stuff for them to make fresh pizzas. They made the base first and surprisingly only a little flour was split. Lee had it all over him of course but the kitchen wasn't bad at all. Zee watched as Saint whispered in Lee's ear and they both tried to contain their giggles. He was just thinking how cute the scene was when Lee came over."Daddy." Lee said beckoning Zee to him. Zee thought his son was coming to relay Saint's whispers so he leaned his head down, only for Lee to rub flour all over his face before running back to Saint to keep him safe. Zee stood their dumbfounded while Saint, who had filmed the entire scene. Laughed so hard he fell off his seat and Zee felt like being childish so instead of asking if he was ok Zee told him it was karma at work and stuck his tongue out

When they had finally composed themselves they had continued making their pizzas with no futher incidents. Well except for the slight bickering between Saint and Zee about the fact there was no pineapple to go on the pizza. Saint said it was a God tier topping while Zee claimed pineapple on pizza was a form of torture in some countries. The argument was only laid to rest when Lee's stomach rumbled loudly and the two 'grown ups' realised they should probably hurry up. While the pizzas were cooking Saint and Zee cleared the table then Saint took Lee to the bathroom to wash up while Zee did the dishes.

By the time the pizza was ready everywhere was clean and Lee was changed into his pj's. "Can we eat in the livingroom and watch a movie please Uncle Bunny?" Lee asked as Zee was getting the pizzas out of the oven. "You'll have to ask your Daddy..." Saint said giving Zee his best cute face. Zee tried to look stern but it was impossible when his two guys were looking at him so expectantly. "Ok," he said with a smile "but tomorrow we eat at the table ok?" Saint and Lee looked at each other then hi fived each other. "Yay!" Said Lee jumping up and down before running to give Zee a hug. "Come on Uncle Bunny!" Lee said too. Saint looked at Zee who picked up Lee in one arm and held the other out open for Saint. Saint couldn't refuse so the three of them stood hugging for a minute until Lee piped up. "Ok stop now, I want pizza."

When they got to the living room Lee told them their seating positions. He was in the middle so they could all hug again when he wasn't so hungry.
They ate their food while watching Lee's favourite movie, Trolls. After they finished eating Lee was leaning on Saint's shoulder while Saint gently stroked his hair. "I wish you could stay forever." Lee whispered to Saint. "Me too baby." Saint said and he meant it. He hadn't been this happy in years. He knew not every day would be as perfect as today but he knew he would still be happy dealing with the good and the bad as long as he was with his family. He continued stroking Lee's hair until he heard a cute snore coming from the tiny boy. Zee took in the scene beside him, he wanted to speak but he was afraid he'd ruin the moment. So instead he put his arm around them both and gently squeezed Saint's arm.

When they were sure Lee was asleep, Zee carried him to bed leaving Saint alone with his thoughts. He was starting to panic a little, it had only been a week and he was getting in too deep. Spending time with Zee was like being wrapped in your favourite blanket on a stormy night and Saint was already addicted to their closeness. Now Lee was back things were even better. He adored that boy like he was his own flesh and blood. Today had been so amazing that Saint worried what would happen to him when it was time to leave. Just as his thoughts spiralled and his breathing began to quicken Zee came back into the room. He immediately knew something was wrong so he sat down and held Saint's hand. "It's ok Saint, I'm here." Zee said trying to calm Saint. He rubbed Saint's palm with his thumb and continued.  "Was today too much? I'm sorry I tried to keep Lee calm but..." Saint put his hand over Zee's mouth. "Can we go to bed please?" Saint said trying to slow his breathing. "We can talk there?" Zee nodded his head and stood up. He jeot hold of Saint's hand and led him to the bedroom.

Saint just needed to lie down so instead of changing in to his pj's he just took off his pants and top and climbed into bed in just his boxers. Zee stood and stared for a while, happy to see Saint's bruises where beginning to fade. "Are you coming or not" Saint asked impatiently. Zee apologised then followed Saint's lead, he was more comfortable sleeping this way anyway, he reasoned with himself. "Do you want to talk or just hug?" Zee asked as he climbed into bed. He was happy to do what ever Saint needed. Saint knew he had to explain to Zee that today wasn't the cause of his attack so he snuggled in close to Zee with his head resting on Zee's chest. He held Zee's hand for courage. "Today wasn't too much for me Zee." He began shakily. Zee knew Saint was having a tough time so he bagan rubbing his back in slow circular motions. Saint took a breath then continued "It was too good. I don't think I've been this happy in a long time and that scares me." He said feeling his tears threatening to fall. "I just can't help worrying what I'll be like when I have to leave."

Zee hated seeing Saint so upset, it broke his heart. He knew he had to say something so he began to speak. "Well that's not something you need to worry about right now. You know you can stay with us as long as you want right? Me and Lee love having you around!" Saint wanted to believe him but how could he say he wanted to stay exactly like this forever? What would happen when Zee found a girlfriend, Saint doubted she'd be happy with Zee sharing his bed with someone else. Saint knew there was nothing he could do about that right now so he decided to enjoy every moment he got for as long as possible. "Thank you Zee," he said with a yawn. "I love you both so much." He finished before the sound of Zee's heartbeat lulled him to sleep.
