[ Despite the demanding declaration it does still embarrass him to stay between the two of them and explicitly ask for affection but he can tell in this case, being sincere was the only way to handle this ]
I am still going to stab you both if you say anything about this to anyone else. Including Vergil. He can't be trusted with potentially embarrassing information.
[ he knows it's obvious even under normal circumstances, but now he can't even pretend. He did need this, though, and it doesn't sink in fully until he's there between them, with his guard down and more vulnerable than he's comfortable with. ]
... well. I did ask for help when I needeed it so the sleeping quarters issue aside, I'd say I'm showing remarkable improvenent.
[ they are both so unfair. But he is tired, still, and having them both take care of him feels nice. He simply closes his eyes once he's encouraged to, and it doesn't take long at all for him to fall asleep ]
[He pets Five's hair softly to avoid not waking him, checking his dreams to ensure they aren't full of fire and death before addressing Lahabrea quietly.]
He's worried about you. I'm worried about you. And yes, I know you don't want to hear it, but that doesn't make it any less true.
[He keeps his arm draped over them both, fingers curling against Emet's side, voice soft.]
It is not that I do not want to hear it. I am deeply endeared by how much consideration you both want to show me. I worry for both of you, after all. I do understand.
But what concerns me and keeps my heart heavy is not you two. I've told you both that it brings me joy to see you share such happiness.
Then we will discuss is soon. And while Five is a gift I never thought possible, you are also incredibly precious to me. Such joy you bring to my life as well.
[He leans over to kiss his cheek.]
Cast off your worries for this one night. We could all use some peace.

Re: 297 late
We can hardly say no to such a declaration, can we?
Re: 297 late
[He takes Emet's hand and then scoots over to make room for Five between them.]

Re: 297 late
[He pulls Lahabrea close wrapping his arms around them both, resting his head on Five's.]
Vergil would like being stabbed. What do you threaten him with?
Re: 297 late
[He scoots closer, draping his arm across both of them.]
Your very secret desire for companionship shall remain secret.

Re: 297 late
And we will be here when you wake and as you dream. Allow us to take care of the remainder, Five Hargreeves.
Re: 297 late
Good night, you two.

Re: 297 late
[He strokes Hades's cheek with his fingertips. Kissing the tip of his nose.]
I do intend not to worry. So settle in, holding you both for the night shall be quite pleasant enough.
Re: 297 late
[He wraps his arms around both of his very small but deeply important men in his life.]
Rest well, my dearest friend.
