Lukas
Lukas woke up in the next morning turned on his belly. On his right side, Bastian sleeps turned sideways with his back facing Lukas. He got close, wrapping one arm around Basti's waist to see if hte other was about to wake. As he got no response, he decided to let Bastian sleep for some more minutes and rolled in bed to take his phone. Twenty minutes later he listened his tummy starts to snores and looks at Bastian trying to decide if he should wake him or not.
- Hey... G'morning.
He kiss his back, holding and bringing him close. Again, nothing changed and Schweini continues to sleep like a stone. For a couple of seconds Lukas thought was unfair to wake him since he seems really tired, but then he remembers they would have to get apart today so wasting time isn't a option.
- Come on... It's time to wake, you've already slept too much.
He gets half of his body up, leaning on his elbow and tries to turn Basti on his back but the sleephead only narrows his eyebrowns and pull the blanket up.
- Bastiii! Come on, wake up I'm bored.
- Go check Instagram.
- Already done it.
- Facebook?
- Yeah, everything. C'mon let's eat something.
- Nah, bring to me in bed.
- No! I want you to come with me.
He said like a spoiled person and crossed his arms. Basti smiles, even with closed eyes, 'cause he knew exactly how Lukas was looking like.
- You sound like a child.
- I am. Now come on, you're already wake.
Only to tease him, Bastian pretended to snore seeming he was still asleep. Lukas smiles and says, finally managing to turn him on his back:
- You... are... so... annoying!
He sat on his hip and gave a light punch on his chest. Opening one eye, Basti smiled at the view.
- Hmm... I like this breakfest.
He watches as Lukas bursts into laughs and smiles winden finally openning both eyes. He saw some marks on Luki's belly and sides and stroked the area.
- I know you do but I actually need some real food to regain my strengths.
- What are you planning to cook?
- Don't know... Some eggs maybe?
- I like that. And bread.
- Ok.
- And cheese.
- Uhn...
- And jelly.
- Anything else?
- Yeah, bring it all and you to bed then.
- No, Schweini! Come with me.
- But I'm tired. - he made his best duck face and continued - Besides, I deserve it since I came here only for you.
- But... - Lukas tried to think about reasons to get him out of the bed but couldn't find any - Ah, fine.
He gets up but before he could take the first step, Bastian holds his wrist pulling him down. They kiss brief and he says against Lukas mouth:
- Don't take too long.
- You're too bossy you know?
- Well... I'm the captain.
He gives a wink making both of them laugh. When Lukas returned they had breakfast and talked about random stuff. He tried to find out how Lukas was dealing with this whole bench thing but he said he didn't want to talk about it now. It was probably for the best since they were having such a great morning. Anyway, he knows Lukas very well to be sure that he wasn't happy with this situation but would get through this. They would. Together. Again.
He heard Lukas talking enthusiastic about the plans for his new clothing line and then about Louis. More than everything, he missed Lukas. The way he talks quickly and energetic and his loud laughs. It was so stupid the need that they had for each other. Sometimes Bastian really thinks that this isn't normal.
- Louis has been asking about you.
- How is he?
- Great. Growing up too fast though...
- Yeah... It looks like yesterday that you called me saying he was born. - they smile softly - What did you told him about me?
- That you're injured and working hard to get fit again. He said he'd make you some drawings.
- Really?
- Yeah. It's probably because when I was injured I told him that I only got better because of his drawings.
Lukas laughed a bit and Bastian's smile widen.
- Thanks. I actually bought something for him in Italy. I wasn't sure about it but...
He said getting up from bed and walking onto his bag. He opened and took a box wrapped in a red paper.
- Here. It's a remote control Ferrari. It's pretty cool, I saw some kids playing with it there.
- Nice! Thanks Basti, he'll love it for sure.
- Him or you? - Bastian asked when he saw Lukas eyes shining towards the red box and they giggled.
- Both. But, wait... This means that you haven't bought anything for me? - he asked incredulously making Basti burst into laughs - I can't believe it! So now it's only Louis and no Lukas?
- Oh God! I can't believe that you're jealous of your own son!
- I am not! But... But I always buy you things when I travel.
He frowned and Bastian laughed more. Sometimes Lukas was such a children that he couldn't even believe.
- Ohh... Sorry. I promise I'll buy you anything you want to reward, ok?
- Okay. I want a real Ferrari then.
He pushes Basti to lay on bed and get on top of him with a big smile on his face and listening to his chuckles. Bastian couldn't stop laughing even though his abdomen was already aching.
- Only that? - he says between laughs.
- Yeah, I'm going to be easy with you this time.
He winks and kisses him calmly. It would be amazing if all mornings were like this. His tongue explores Basti's mouth while the other strokes his hair. He breaks the kiss leaving his forehead rest on Bastian. With eyes still closed he says:
- Thanks for coming. I was starting to get worried.
- Why?
He openned his eyes and smiled. Moving to the side, he put his left arm under Basti's neck and pulled him close.
- I got no response from you in my plan on making you jealous.
- Yeah?
- Yeah...
- So that's how you test if you still have me or not?
- What? - he lifts his head looking at Bastian with confused eyes.
- What what?
Staring at him sorely, he climbed back on top of Bastian and said:
- You're mine. I don't need to test. Mine. - he repeats firmly and Basti smile.
- So what was that for?
- To tease you.
Basti rolled his eyes turning them on bed. He caged Lukas between his arms and legs.
- I don't like or approve it, but... Sanchez and Kevin are really not your type.
- So I guess you're lucky that Giroud is injured. - he teases and Basti narrows his eyes.
- I guess you are lucky because I won't have to payback you then.
- Yeah? And what would you do? Your friends ain't got a shit on me.
- Not even Xabi Alonso?
The right corner of his mouth lifted as he stares at Lukas.
- He is not your friend.
- No yet.
- Don't tempt me.
- I'm not. It's just a warning.
They smiled, eyes staring at each other. Lukas holds Basti's right thigh and squeezes.
- I got it.
They kiss taking their time to enjoy it. It's a calm but full of desire kiss. Bastian nips Lukas' lower lip and then kiss his jaw; neck and his chest. He slides his hands to Luki's sides and continues kissing him tracing a way from the middle of his chest until his navel. After bite his abdomen with slight force he makes his way back until he finds Lukas mouth and whispers against it:
- Mine.
Lukas smiles and pull him into a kiss grabbing his hair. They keep kissing and provoking each other with bites wherever they can reach. After many failed attempts, Lukas finally succeed on flipping them and get on top of Basti, holding his wrists. He starts to kiss and bite Bastian's entire torso, rubbing his lips against his skin and making him squirm and giggles.
- Lukiii!
But Lukas doesn't stop and keep doing it until he's satisfied. With the biggest smile on his face he says:
- These must last until the next time we meet.
- Leaving marks, huh?
- Of course. - he put a kiss in Basti's mouth and seats - What you've planned for today?
- Don't know... You're going back to Köln right?
- Yes... You could come with me.
- But I've physiotherapy tomorrow morning in München...
- Hmm.
- I can call and transf... -
- No. You've to go Basti. We'll see each other soon anyway.
- When?
- I don't know. But soon. - he kisses him again and get up from bed - Now c'mon! Let's do something, I'm tired of staying in bed.
- I'm not.
- That's why you look older than you really are.
- Ount! - he exclameid making a sad duck face and Lukas laughs.
- I'm kidding. You look great. Now, come on.
He pulls Basti's arm to get him out of bed and starts to lean them out of the bedroom. While they walk Basti checks his image on the mirror asking:
- Do I really look that old?
Lukas chunckles putting one arm around his shoulders.
- You still turn me on so don't worry, mein hase. - he winks - And besides, you know I like your grey hair. It's sexy.
Basti smiles holding him from his waist and squeezing. They go outside to enjoy the few rays of sun. After Lukas insists too much they play some kind of basketball that actually end up in a stupid battle of holding and tickling each other. Sometimes it was like they've never grown up. Giving up of the game they decided to make a competition to see who scores more free shots. But again, it didn't work because they continued teasing and trying to disturb the other to mistake. Sweating a bit and giving up after many failed tries and uncontrollable laughs, they went back inside.
- Stay here.
Lukas says walking fast towards the aisle. Basti stops at first, confused. But then gave some steps in Lukas direction asking:
- Why?
- Just stay! - he shouts and Bastian stops again.
After a few seconds Lukas appears at the living room again with his phone in hands and talking cheerful to the telephone screen. When Basti listened a kid's voice he smiled widen feeling his heart race a bit but he didn't really know the reason.
- Look who is here!
Lukas turned the phone in Basti's direction and he finally saw the little blonde boy.
- Uncle Basti! - the boy exclaims as Basti approaches to the phone and Luki.
- Hey buddy! How are you?
- I'm fine. What are you doing there?
- Just visiting your Papa.
- But I'm not there it's not fair! Have you really forgot about me?
- What?
- Papa said you forgot us.
- Louis!
Lukas said at the same time and Basti looks at him with a confused and puzzled expression.
- I didn't say that.
- Yes, you did. That day I asked you why you were mad and you said it was because Uncle Basti was ignoring you.
- I didn't mean it.
- But you said it.
- It's not true.
- Of course it's not true! - Bastian exclaims looking at Lukas with widened eyes. - I was upset with your Papa but never with you buddy.
- What Papa did?
Basti swallowes not sure about how to answer that.
- He said somethings I didn't like it.
- What?
- Hmm... - he looks at Lukas desperate.
- I said that he looks old because of his grey hair.
- But you've some grey hairs too Papa!
They laughed amazed by the kid's response exchanging glances. Basti nodded still incredulous with Lukas.
- Only a few Louis, only a few.
- Are you coming with Papa, Uncle Basti?
- No buddy... Sorry.
- Why??
- He is injured remember buddy? He has physio tomorrow.
- You can come today and leave tomorrow.
- But it's early.
- Actually, I could do that Luki.
- No. You're not going to skip.
- I'm not skipping, I'm postponing.
- Yeah Papa!
- No.
- Why??
- Because he needs to get better soon Louis.
- I'm better.
- So are you coming?!
Lukas faced Bastian seriously and the other shrugged.
- You're not and you know that.
- But Papa he wants to come!
- I know Louis, but he can't. It's for the best.
Louis and Basti gave one last try looking at Lukas with plead eyes, but he was irreductible.
- No. End of discussion.
- Fine. - Basti spat the word moody.
- Then you say that I look like a child.
He shrugged and Louis laughed.
- It's okay Uncle Basti. You'll get better soon because I made many drawings for you.
- Thanks buddy.
- But you'll come to visit me soon promise?
- I promise.
The three boys smiled. Seeing Basti and Louis getting along so well warms his heart. Louis felt comfortable with Basti and for some reason they always ended up joining forces against Lukas. It isn't fair but he loved it.
- And you also don't be sad buddy. Uncle Basti can't come but at least he bought yo... - Bastian manages to cover Lukas mouth before he finishes, murmuring 'Surprise'.
- What?
- Nah, nothing. He wanted to say that at least I'll be able to get back on the pitch again.
- Ah... Yeah. But won't make much difference because Bayern always wins anyway.
Lukas burst into laughs at his son's answer and Basti open his mouth in disbelief. He was definitely Lukas' son.
- So I don't make difference? - he pretended to sound offended but couldn't hold his smile.
- No, no! I didn't mean that. - Louis laughs - But maybe you could transfer to a team that needs you more, like Arsenal... I don't know. Papa always says that.
Louis shrugged a bit shy and they laughed. Louis was such a smart kid, he always manages to surprise them.
- I don't know about that buddy.
- I 100% agree!
Basti just stands there looking amazed at those two blonde with blue eyes figures laughing. The last few weeks were hard for him and he didn't know how much he had missed those moments. It was like Lukas always said, no matter what happens or what people say, Louis always makes everything better. That kid had a thing that makes everyone around him worship him instantly. Just like his father.
And that's how the rest of the day went. It was light and funny and Basti wished that he didn't have to go away. They three spending time together was always something fun and precious. Again, the two man were taken by that feeling they had at the beginning of the month during the internacional break. But this time it wouldn't end up in arguments or fights. There's no point in it. This time they will simply kiss and hug each other tight, not wanting to make a big deal about it. It has been ten years of this shit. And they were more than excited for the next ten.
