The next morning, Adam had gotten up and ready for the day long before his two lovers even seemed ready to be alive again. He stood by the door and watched Tim and Austin cuddle in their sleep like two drunk babies.

For a moment, he contemplated turning Tim's alarm off so both men could continue their sweet dreams. However, as soon as he spotted Tim's split lip, he discarded that idea. Of course, Adam was aware Tim would feel like shit upon waking up, but he would feel like a piece of shit that had won a fight.

Before Adam's train of thoughts could come back around to sympathy, Tim's alarm went off and shook the entire bed.

A long winded groan left Tim's throat as he pulled the pillow over his head and tried to hide his face in Austin's hair, but the younger man was just as helpless. Austin all but rolled out of the bed and stumbled over to Adam, who then caught him and wrapped his arms around him.

"Somebody kill me please," Tim plead from under the pillow. The next miserable groan made Adam smile as he let go of Austin and went to turn the machine off. He then crawled on the bed and gently pried the pillow away from Tim's head, who by the time was trying his best to suffocate himself.

As soon as Tim's eyes were halfway open and Tim seemed willing to come back to the living, Adam lifted his hands to sign.

"You had it coming, yesterday already. I told you to drink water." Tim reached out, sat himself up and took Adam's hands in his as soon as he was done with his signing and gave each finger a kiss.

"I know and I'm sorry," he said after repeating out loud what Adam had said earlier for Austin,who by the time clung to the doorframe. "How about we keep it low today. Sleep a few more hours, watch a movie later and cuddle?"

"We could watch a Marvel film!" Austin chimed in as he walked over to the bed and sat down next to Adam, who then gave him a frown.

"But I like DC better," he signed and Tim, who didn't even know the difference laughed, what then seemingly reminded him of his hangover because another groan left his throat.

"Although we all know you like DC better the movies ain't that good" Tim tried to reason with Adam, who vehemently shook his head and started to pout. Sulking, Adam observed his lovers as similar smiles blossomed on their faces while they watched him. "Besides, you get a headache watching films with us."

Adam, defeated by the truth, let his body fall to the side where his head then came to rest in Tim's lap. Apparently, Austin took pity as his hands wandered over the bed until they found Tim's legs and then Adam's head. A smile then spread over Adam's face as Austin cupped his cheeks and leaned forward so their lips would meet.

"But you still lost this round," Austin whispered against Adam's lips in a way that Tim couldn't even notice something had been said. However, Adam, who was preoccupied with Austin's tongue in his mouth, didn't mind at all. 

When he felt a hand on his shoulder, Adam smiled thinking Tim was about to join them, but instead he let out a yelp when Tim pushed him off his lap. "Y'all know you're getting me hot and bothered with this behavior, but as soon as you're shaking the bed my headache will return. So could we maybe get me some painkillers before we do this?"

For a moment, both Austin and Adam just stared at each other, before they began to smile widely. Austin jumped up from the bed and left the room, seemingly because he wanted to get Tim the desired painkillers, whereas Adam, went up to get the laptop so they could watch the movie in bed.

He searched online for the latest Marvel movie and when he found it, he turned the subtitles for hearing impaired people on for Tim and choose the special audio version for Austin. But because both versions played at the same time, Adam never really found it in him to watch movies with his lovers, seeing as his senses got overloaded. Instead, as soon as Austin returned, Adam let him sit on his lap and when Tim pressed play, Adam just lay back a bit and played with his phone.

About halfway through the movie, the doorbell rang which simultaneously set off a light that started to blink so even Tim knew someone wanted in. Nevertheless, before Adam had managed to get off the bed, the door opened and footsteps calmly walking through the house could be heard.

Soon afterward, Chris entered their bedroom and Adam could already see his brother was pissed. Seeing as Chris wasn't just Adam's manager, but worked for the trio as well, he was also the only person that knew of their relationship and therefore wasn't surprised to see them all like this.

"You guys," Chris started out loud while he signed  what he was saying for Tim. "Do you have any ideas what the newspaper and online magazines are writing about you this morning? Have any of you even heard the news yet?"

Adam just stared at his brother, before he realized what Chris could mean. He then turned to Austin and Tim, who slowly, but surely seemed to get an idea as well.

"Is this about yesterday night?" Austin then asked and Chris nodded while he translated it for Tim. Yesterday, as Adam remembered, had started off relaxed and had slowly but surely turned to shit with its final act being a fight between Tim, Austin and a man they had never seen before.

"It's all over the news! The Trio attacked a man in a bar fight!" Chris said and signed, but anger was slowly seeping into his voice. "You guys fucked up big time."

"But he started it! He punched Adam and then I defended him," Tim huffed out in defeat, obviously not knowing how mad Chris already was, but Austin still agreed loudly with him. "It wasn't our fault!"

"I don't want to hear any of this! Do you know how hard it is to cover stories like that up?" Chris all but shouted in Tim's face, who in this case had no problem reading his manager's lips. "I think you guys need to keep it low for a while. Go on a vacation or something, where no paparazzi are."
