To the Stars and Back [Sanders Sides Analogical AU]

Attention

Virgil sat on the couch with Nico nearly asleep on his lap. It was a casual Saturday afternoon, Logan not having to work, but left on a quick trip to the store to grab some ingredients for dinner. In the meantime Virgil and Nico were watching a movie as the nearly two year old fought to stay awake, but was clearly loosing. It was past the time he'd usually be put down for a nap, Nico insisting on staying awake to welcome Logan back, but Virgil wasn't so sure if Nico would be able to stay awake that long. To prove his point Nico's head fell onto Virgil's chest, the young child's breathing evening out as he fell asleep on his dad.

Virgil smiled down at the toddler, pressing a gentle kiss to his head, the wavy black hair tickling his nose a little. Virgil the heard the garage door open and close followed by footsteps and the rustling of bags. This obviously meant Logan was back, but Virgil couldn't exactly greet him on the account of having a sleeping child in his lap and on his chest. Logan eventually walked in to check on them and smiled at the two, Virgil smiling back then gently placing Nico down on the couch with his head supported by a pillow. Standing up Virgil walked over to Logan and gave him a quick kiss, Logan kissing right back then wrapping his arms around Virgil's waists and pulling him closer for a hug.

"Hhiissss," a soft noise came from behind them.

Both very confused they looked back to the couch where Nico was sitting up and very sleepily glaring at them.

"Hhhiisssssss," he grumbled, getting off the couch and crawled over to them, too tired to walk.

Virgil and Logan both internally awed at the sight, their son hissing for the first time, probably picking it up after watching Virgil hiss at Remus multiple times. Nico continues to crawl over, making it to them and wrapping his arms around Virgil's left leg, sitting on his foot like some kind of seat.

"He's really tired, but insisted on staying up to see you," Virgil said as their child buried his face into Virgil's pants' leg.

"I see. Well let's get him to sleep," Logan knelt down and scoop Nico up off Virgil, cradling him in his arms. Nico smiled softly at his dad, even more so when Virgil came to stand next to them (having to stand on tippy toes because he's smol and short).

"Time for a nap little star," Logan cooed, Nico yawning while sleepily rubbing his eyes with the back of his hands. He nestled himself closer to Logan's chest, burying his face into his shirt while holding onto it with his right hand. Logan felt his chest fill with warmth and a fluttering feeling also filled it as he and his husband walked back to the couch.

They sat down together, Nico asleep before they even got there. Virgil leaned on Logan's shoulder, lowering himself to give Nico quick kisses on the nose and forehead before going back to leaning on Logan's shoulder. Logan carefully lifted his arms and pressed kiss into Nico's soft, curly black hair, the same hair as Virgil, always soft and curly or wavy. It was nice to know Nico inherited that from Virgil as well, most of Nico's physical traits like his little freckles, small size and button nose are from Virgil, while Nico's intelligence was absolutely from Logan. The boy learned how to get through child proof locks and guards at the age of one and a half, some thing Roman and Remus, who are both 28 year old men, still can't do.

"I love you, little star," Logan whispered before looking over at his husband, Virgil having fallen asleep on his shoulder, probably exhausted from the week's events.

"I love you too, Stardust," Logan said, giving Virgil a kiss on the forehead then looking up at the movie that was still playing while letting his two tired family members sleep.
