Work Text:

 You walked into the break room of your new job, sighing as you took a seat on the plastic bench. You were about half way done with your first shift. You had gotten a job at your local comic book shop. You wiped the small bit of sweat off of your forehead as you mindlessly scrolled on your phone while you took your break.

So far, your new job seemed ok. It wasn’t too much work, you just restocked comics, manned the cash register, and helped people find what they were looking for. You had spent most of the day daydreaming at the counter. It was nice working at a store where you were actually interested in the types of products you were selling, that being comics and nerdy merchandise.

It felt like no time at all had passed when the clock on your phone was telling you that it was time to get back to work. You sighed, putting your phone in your pocket as you made your way back out to the storefront. You shook your feet a bit as you clocked back in from your break, readying them for another round of standing at the desk.

As you stood at the counter, it didn’t take long for you to start daydreaming again. Lately, you’d been wondering what the large brown thing floating around town was. You had a feeling it was a villain, those types of things usually are, but why such a large and obvious structure? You figured guys like that were more private people, and that big lump in the sky was definitely not private.

While you stood thinking, you heard the chime of the bell above the door ring as someone entered. You looked over to the glass door, meeting eyes with the store owner, aka your manager, as he walked in. You gave him a small smile which he returned as he made his way into his shop. The man was older and seemed fairly friendly yet stern. He walked over to you, pulling a piece of paper out of his shirt pocket and handing it to you. It was a list of various comic books and memorabilia.

“What’s this?” you asked him as you read over the list.

“Gary’s order. He’s a regular here and he’ll be here innn..” he dragged on his words as he checked his watch. “about a half hour. Could you get that all in a box for the fella? He’s a nice kid.”

You, of course, got a box from under the glass desk and unfolded it to fill it with the order. It took you less than ten minutes to find everything and set it in the box. You placed it on the ground next to your station at the register. For the next 20 or so minutes, you helped about 3 customers checkout, it made you wonder if business was always this slow.

Before you knew it, you were daydreaming again. You weren’t really thinking of anything in particular when the bell above the door was chiming once again. You looked to the door as the customer entered. A man of average height entered the shop, his frame a tad on the heavier side and his brown hair was tied up in a small ponytail. You welcomed him in.

“Oh,” he seemed surprised to see you. “I’ve uh.. never seen you working here before.”

“First day.” you smiled at him. You would be lying if you said you didn’t find him cute.

“Then I guess I’ll be seeing you a lot then.” he walked up to the desk to introduce himself. “I’m Gary, I come here pretty often.”

“Y/N.” you introduced yourself back. “I’ve got your stuff all ready.” you picked up the box on the ground next to you, bringing it to the glass countertop. Gary looked in the box, flipping through to make sure everything he had ordered was there. He stopped and double checked his receipt.

“I don’t want to be a dick or anything,” he rubbed the back of his neck with his hand that wasn’t buried in the box. “but I’m not seeing the Rusty Venture volume I ordered..?” You leaned over the counter a bit to look into the box, doing the same as Gary had done a minute prior.

“Oh shit, sorry man.” you worked your way out from behind the counter. “Let me get that for you.” The two of you made your way through the small store and stopped in front of the large boxes of Rusty Venture comics. “What volume was it again?”

“Number 985: Surprise from the Grotto.” he replied. It was silent for a minute while you looked for the comic until Gary broke the silence. “What kind of comics do you like? Sorry to just assume you read them in the first place, I just mean with you working here and all..” he trailed off.

“I read a bit of everything.” you giggled a bit. “I’m kind of a nerd. I’ll always be a sucker for stuff similar to Lord of The Rings, though.”

“Oh dude, I love Tolkien!” Gary replied excitedly. “Have you read The Silmarillion?”

The two of you had a very nice conversation about various comics and other nerdy franchises as you searched for his Rusty comic. When you finally found a copy, you gave Gary a smile and waved it at him. You made your way back to the counter to add it to his box, Gary following behind you. As you got back behind the counter and Gary handed you his credit card to pay, the door’s bell chimed again.

“Duude,” a slender man with short black hair walked up to Gary. “What is taking so long? We gotta get back.”

“Yeah yeah I know.” Gary replied, taking his card back from you once you had proceeded it. “I’m just paying.”

“Well pay faster, the boss’ll get pissed if we’re late again. And we still gotta drop this off at your place before we go back.” he turned around, making his way back outside and into the driver's seat of the baby blue car in front of the store.

“Gotta get back to work?” you asked Gary.

“Yeahh, it’s best I don’t keep him waiting.” He picked up his box of comics. “So, uh.. I’ll.. see you again? I liked talking with you.” Gary blushed, surprised at his own forwardness.

“I’ll be here every day this week.” You threw him a peace sign as he pushed the door open with his back, his arms preoccupied with carrying his cargo.

Gary slid into the passenger seat after he sat his box in the back of the car. “Doug, dude, did you see that?? That new cashier was totally into me”

“I told you not to call me that.” his friend whined. “It’s weird.

“And what, only call you 24?”

“Yes! You know how much I hate my name. And they weren’t hitting on you, it’s their job to be nice.” 24 kept his eyes on the road as he argued with his younger coworker.

It didn’t take long to arrive at Gary’s house, both of the men using the opportunity to change into their henching outfits, after Gary’s mom offered a meal to 24 of course. Gary set his box of comics on his desk to sort when he got back from the cocoon later in the evening. Gary changed in his room while 24 changed in the bathroom, and the whole time Gary couldn’t get you out of his mind.

—————————————————————————————

You saw Gary every day for the next few days. Truthfully, he didn’t even need anything when he walked into the store, he just enjoyed the conversations you had. You welcomed the company, as the shop was usually dead throughout the day.

The two of you learned more about each other each time he came in. You also learned more about his tall coworker, who you learned was named Doug. More specifically, Doug Jr. You also learned that he absolutely hated his dad, along with his name. He much preferred to just be called 24, which Gary told you was his number at work. He would occasionally come in to chat with the two of you. He was nice and all but you didn’t really click the same way you did with Gary.

It was the fourth day of talking to Gary when he invited you over to play a new video game he had gotten. You accepted and he told you he’d be back after he got off work later that evening.

You were nearing the end of your shift when you saw 24’s Stanza park in front of the store, Gary walking in a moment after.

“Ready?” he asked you as you clocked out.

“Yep! Let me just grab my bag.” You went to the break room to quickly grab your belongings. You said goodbye to your manager, who was on his phone in the break room, as you left.

You made your way back out to Gary, giving him a smile as he held open the door for you. You made your way into the back of Doug’s baby blue car, Gary taking the front passenger seat.

It wasn’t long until the car was pulling up in Gary’s driveway. 24 stopped the car and the three of you got out.

“Well I’m just saying that if you look closely at the footage, it was clearly rice.” 24 continued the argument he was having with Gary as you walked up to the front porch.

“Oh my god, dude! It’s so obviously puke, are you blind!?” Gary pulled out his keys and placed the correct one in the door’s lock.

As the door opened, you were greeted by an eager golden labrador. The dog wagged its tail excitedly as the three of you entered the comfortable house. The dog sniffed you excitedly, placing its paws up on your legs.

“Lady, down!” Gary scolded his dog, the dog ignoring his plea. You pet the dog between her ears, her tail never once slowing its wags.

“No no it’s fine.” you laughed. “She seems sweet.” The dog, Lady, backed down off of you once you stopped petting her, making her way over to 24 to smell his shoes as he removed them. He gave her a quick scratch on the head.

The three of you spent the remainder of the evening playing video games, relaxing, and smoking a bit of weed. Gary’s mom was extremely nice to you, continuing to offer you snacks as the night went on. You told her she didn’t have to do that but she insisted. When it was time to leave, your highs had come down and you felt comfortable enough to have 24 drive you home.

The two of you drove in comfortable silence. The drive to your place was short, you lived fairly close to Gary, about a block away. 24 was the one to break the silence.

"He really likes you, yknow?” he said, not breaking eye contact with the road.

“Hm?” you looked over to him.

“Gary. He doesn’t stop talking about you at work.”

“Yeah, I like him too.” you got more comfortable in the passenger seat, the cushioning in the seat feeling nice on your back. “Both of you guys are great.”

“No, dude.” he looked over to you as he stopped at a red light. “He likes you. Don’t break his heart.”

You blushed at that. You could kind of tell through Gary’s, quite frankly, obvious attempts at flirting with you, but it was nice to have confirmation of your suspicions.

“Yeah I.. I like him too..” you couldn’t look 24 in the eyes as your face turned red. He seemed a bit surprised at that, not noticing for a moment as the light turned green. The car behind you let out a quick honk of its horn, snapping him back to driving. He tapped his fingers against the steering wheel.

—————————————————————————————

Over the next two weeks, you saw Gary quite often. On the days you didn’t go back to his place to play video games (some days with 24 and some without), he still showed up at the comic shop for small talk while you worked before he headed to his job. Your manager didn’t mind, as long as Gary brought him lunch when he stopped in, which Gary happily obliged to. Also over those two weeks, they had finally told you what their jobs were. When you found Gary’s uniform in the backseat, they explained how they were henchmen in the floating cocoon (so that’s what it was!) in the sky. They thought you would be upset at them for not mentioning it but truthfully you were totally fine with it. In fact, you got the opportunity to ask them some of the questions that had been on your mind about the cocoon since you first saw it.

You had even spent the night a few times at Gary’s house, too high to drive home. In the mornings, you’d spare the men the humiliation of you noticing their very obvious morning wood by pretending to stay asleep as they each took turns relieving themselves in the bathroom. Afterward, the men would put on their work uniforms and drop you off at your apartment before heading to work.

You were standing at the register when you felt your phone buzz in your pocket. There was no one in the shop, your last customer was actually Gary who stopped in this morning before heading off to the cocoon in the baby blue Stanza. You pulled your phone out. It was a text from 24. You opened it.

Doug (24): I’ll be late tonight. I can drop you off at Gary’s and come back about an hour after that. OK?

You responded, telling him that was fine. You began to put your phone away, thinking that would be the end of that exchange, when he texted you back.

Doug (24): Suck his dick or something, you got this.

You blushed at his forwardness. 24 hadn’t told Gary about the feelings you held for him. It was clear that he was rooting for his younger friend, but he didn’t want to intervene in this. He had, essentially, been acting as your wingman, though you hadn’t had any great opportunities to confess to Gary. You didn’t respond to his text.

The rest of your shift was slow, but that was the norm. You were tapping a rhythm with your fingernails when Gary walked in and gave you a smile. You clocked out quickly, grabbed your things in the back, and left with your friend.

When you made it to Gary’s house, the two of you hopped out of the car. 24 stayed in the driver's seat. “I’ll be back in like an hour.”

“What, why?” Gary asked him. “I was gonna make popcorn.”

“I got shit I need to do.” he looked at his friend. “My dad needs help with his dumb projects he’s working on in the house and I need to pick some stuff up for him.” He drove off without saying anything else.

“Well..” Gary looked at you as you both made your way inside, Lady greeting you excitedly. “Want to, like, watch a movie or something?”

You pet the dog on her head. “I’m good for anything.” You smiled at him.

After saying hi to Ms. Fischer, the two of you retreated to Gary’s bedroom. You plopped down on his bed, stretching your arms out over the sheets. Gary blushed, trying not to stare at your exposed midriff as you made yourself at home. He looked away, busying himself by grabbing his bong off of his dresser, packing the bowl with weed.

You sat up as he sat next to you on the bed, offering you the first hit. You accepted his offer, lighting the plant with Gary’s lighter and filling your lungs with the delicious smoke. You exhaled it and handed the bong back to its owner. Gary took a hit too, exhaling the smoke out the window positioned next to his bed.

The two of you took turns with the bong, relaxing as the evening began. “What should we watch?” he asked.

You thought for a moment. “I’m feeling like a horror movie tonight.” you stood up and walked over to his TV, which sat on top of his shelf of DVDs and video games. You took the bong with you, placing it back on Gary’s shelf for the time being. You bent over to look at the bottom rack of DVDs. Gary couldn’t help but stare at your ass. You looked and looked but couldn’t decide.

Truthfully, you were just pretty horny. After the text that 24 had sent you earlier, your mind wandered. Sex had been on your mind all day and the heat emanating from your nethers had been a constant since you got to Gary’s house. You rubbed your thighs together a bit to relieve some pressure, you really wanted him to fuck you. You’d been yearning for it for almost two weeks at this point and you’d reached your breaking point.

Fuck it you thought. You stood up straight and turned to face Gary but as you did he stood up as well.

“I really want to fuck you!” he blurted out. You were shocked at his newfound courage. He was clearly half hard in his pants. “Maybe it’s because I’m a little too high right now but, fuck, I’ve been wanting to fuck you for weeks, dude! I just can’t take it anymore!”

You stood there for a moment, shocked that he had made the first move. You slowly walked over to him, placing your hand in the middle of his chest as you leaned in and gave him a delicate kiss on the lips. Gary didn’t know how to react as you pulled away.

“Is.. is that a yes..?” he asked tentatively. You giggled at him, giving him a slight nod. He eagerly delved back into your lips, this one much more passionate than the last. His tongue stroked against yours as his arms ran up and down you. He let out a slight gasp as you moved your hand to rub at his growing erection through his shorts.

You guided each other to sit on his bed as he continued to kiss you, sloppy and somewhat inexperienced. Your hand palmed him through his pants, your other hand loosening his hair from its band. He moaned into your mouth, absolutely loving this. Once you got his hair out of the ponytail, you discarded the band to the floor. He broke the kiss and stood up. He shakily undid his belt, erection straining against the fabric of his shorts. He unzipped his fly and dropped his pants to the floor, the large spot of precum in his boxers apparent at where his tip tented the fabric.

You, in tandem, removed your shirt and threw it somewhere on the ground near his pants. He gawked at your bare chest for a moment, cupping a breast in his hand as he leaned back in to kiss you. You broke it fairly quickly, your hands tugging at the end of his shirt to urge him to take it off too.

He hesitated a moment, clearly self conscious. You cupped his cheek in your hand, making him look at you. You gave him a sincere smile as your thumb stroked his face. He blushed at the sudden tenderness and quickly discarded his shirt into the growing pile of clothes on the ground.

He gently pushed you to lay down on the sheets, his larger frame on top of you. He slid your pants down your hips and to your ankles, also to be discarded to the floor. Now that the both of you were only clad in your underwear, you both took the opportunity to enjoy the sight of each other. He leaned down to your neck, kissing you tenderly.

“Fuck this is so perfect..” he murmured against your skin. “I can’t wait to be inside you.”

You spread your legs for him, moaning as his large hand instantly went to rub your clit through your thin underwear. You placed your hands on his shoulders, rubbing them up and down his back as he enjoyed your body.

“Please,” you begged out to him after a minute or two of rubbing against each other. “I need you in me.” You ground your hips up onto his hand. He didn’t need much convincing. He pulled away, sitting upright to free himself from his boxers. His cock was average in length but large in girth. You were excited for him to stretch you out. You pulled your underwear off, letting it rest on one of your ankles as you presented yourself to Gary.

He dragged your body to him, your legs resting around his hips. He ran the tip of his dick over your wet folds, using your wetness as lube. Your breath hitched as his cock slowly started to push inside of you.

He tenderly pushed deeper into you, making an effort to make sure that you were comfortable. Once he sat all the way inside, he stopped for a moment to let you adjust to him. Gary whimpered as he ran his hands along your hips.

“It’s like it was waiting for me, you’re so tight.” he slowly started to thrust into you, one of his hands reaching down to rub your clit again, the other one cupping your breast. You whined out at the stimulation, grabbing onto his shoulders to stabilize yourself. He started to speed up his thrusts, savoring the way you felt around him. He rolled your nipple between his fingers.

It wasn’t long until his thrusting became more erratic and stopped following a rhythm, both of you getting caught up in the pleasure. You know both of you wouldn’t last long, you had both been wanting this for a while. The mattress slightly squeaked beneath you, the sound intermingling with the sound of Gary’s balls slapping against your skin. You had felt the familiar warmth in your lower abdomen as your orgasm neared, your breath hitching.

“Fuck, Gary.” you whimpered. “I-I’m gonna cum.” He continued his relentless assault on your clit, leaning down to kiss you hard. You unraveled beneath him, legs shaking around him as you rode out your high. You moaned deep into Gary’s mouth, your muscles clenching around his dick.

His thrusts were unrelenting as you came down from your high, he was nearing his own release. He removed his large palm from your clit, using both hands to pull you further into himself, fucking you deeper. His pelvis slammed into yours repeatedly against your raw clit, both of you lost in the pleasure.

It was at that moment when a soft knock rattled against the bedroom door, neither of you hearing it. 24 let himself into the room, carrying with him a bag of chips.

“Hey guys, I’m ba- oh shit.” He blushed hard at what he had walked into. He averted his eyes quickly to the floor, stepping into the room and closing the door behind him.

“Dude, why’d you step inside?!” Gary pulled out of you, embarrassed and blushing hard. He used the blanket on his bed to cover his lower half, his erection shrinking. You also covered up with the blanket and sat up.

“Oh yeah, and go back out there to explain that ‘Sorry, Ms. Fischer, I can’t go in there right now. Your son is getting laid!’”

Gary sighed. “You totally gave me blue balls, dude..”

“Sorry..” 24 moved his hand from his eyes to look at the two of you. He was still blushing, and he had moved the bag he was holding in front of his crotch to hide his slight arousal. It was quiet for a moment until you broke the silence.

“Well..” you dropped the sheet from your chest, exposing your breasts to your two companions. “We don’t… have to stop.” The two men looked at each other, surprised by your invitation.

“It’s not like I haven’t seen your dick.” 24 shrugged.

“I’m not.. opposed to the idea.” Gary added. You stood up, still nude as you walked over to 24. You reached out to grab his hand, urging him over to the bed. He dropped the bag of chips he was holding and obliged, a nervous yet excited look on his face. You stood facing him, though you looked over at Gary momentarily to give him a reassuring smile. You undid 24’s belt for him, his cock hardening under his pants. Gary watched, slowly urging his own hand south to get himself going again.

24’s pants dropped to the ground as you slid down with them. He was half hard already when you pulled him out of his boxers. You licked your tongue around his tip, making sure to pay extra attention to the sensitive underside. He let out a slight whimper as you took him deeper in your mouth.

“Holy shit..” he murmured, steadying one of his hands on your head. Gary jerked himself to the sight, enjoying the show of his best friend getting his dick sucked. 24 urged your head to go deeper and you obliged the best you could. He was fully hard by now and was bigger than Gary lengthwise, but Gary was definitely thicker. You gagged a bit around him when you went a little too deep.

You pulled off of him, opting to use your hand to jerk him off, using your spit that coated his dick as lube. You looked over to Gary, grinning at him.

“You like watching me suck him off? Now that we’re dating, I can do this to you whenever you want so there’s no need to get jealous.” Gary’s face flushed a bit. He hasn’t really thought about the fact that you wanted to date him.

“We’re uh..” he slowed his pace a bit. “we’re dating..?” he asked, a smile forming on his face.

“Oh my god dude!” 24 chimed in. “They’ve been wanting you for weeks!”

What?! You knew and you didn’t tell me?!” Gary threw his arms up at his friend. 24 shrugged in response. 

You giggled at their arguing, standing up from your place on the ground and making your way to lean on top of Gary. You kissed his lips softly.

“Only if you want to, of course.” you said against his lips. Gary laughed at that.

Duh!” he kissed you back, smiling against you. 24 walked over to the two of you, nude from the waist down. You broke your kiss, Gary giving his friend a fist bump. You pulled back from the kiss, giving him a smile back. You looked to 24, gesturing for him to take his shirt off. He obliged you, all three of you now fully nude in the bedroom.

You got onto the bed facing your (newly acquired) boyfriend. Gary sat up on his knees to greet you, now fully erect. He kissed your neck, hand running up and down your body. You could feel his cock brush against your thigh as you treaded your fingers through his hair. 24 got on the bed behind you, using his large hands to steady your hips. He kissed down your back, groping your ass as he did so.

The two men relished in your body, loving the way you felt under their lips and fingertips. You ran your hand down Gary’s chest, making your way to his needy cock. You took him in your hands, jerking him off. He moaned into your neck. You backed up your ass a bit, rubbing against 24’s dick. Both of the men whimpered at your touches.

You leaned down, kissing down Gary’s chest, backing your hips further into 24 as you did so. He moved back a bit to give you more room. You kissed above Gary’s leaking cock, spreading your legs to rest on either side of 24’s hips. You wiggled your hips on him, chuckling against Gary’s skin. Gary sat up a bit more on his knees to alleviate any strain on your neck.

You tongued his tip, loving the sounds he made above you. You sank your mouth deeper onto him, he was much thicker than 24 and you hollowed your cheeks around him. You moaned as he weaved his fingers in your hair, the taste of his salty precum on your tongue.

24 rubbed the tip of his cock against your folds, poking at your entrance. He entered you slowly, loving the way you felt around him.

“Oh my god..” he moaned out. “It’s so fucking tight..”

“Like it just sucks you in, right?” Gary panted.

Exactly!” 24 slowly began thrusting into you “Like a vacuum.”

“..You’ve fucked your vacuum?” Gary laughed at his friend as you sucked him. You laughed too, the vibration causing Gary’s breath to hitch. The sounds coming from your throat were erotic and turned him on even more.

“You know what I mean.” 24 grumbled, speeding up his pace. You moaned at the change of tempo, 24’s pelvis causing you to swallow Gary deeper. Though you couldn’t fit either of the men all the way in your mouth, it was harder for you to get Gary in due to his girth.

You pulled off of Gary for a minute to catch your breath, replacing your lips with your hand as you continued to pleasure him. You laid your head on his thigh for a moment, savoring the feeling of 24 pounding hard into you. You planted a small kiss to Gary’s thigh, not slowing the pace of your hand. A moment later, your lips were back around him.

The three of you felt drunk on pleasure, the men absolutely loving how they felt inside you. You raised your ass a bit, feeling 24 even deeper inside you. You bobbed your head around Gary, looking up at him as you did so. You knew he would be the first to cum, since he didn’t get the chance to before. His breath was shaky as he looked down at you, his fingers gripping your hair tightly.

“I-I don’t think I can last much longer..” he whimpered.

Ngh.. Me neither..”  24 pounded into you fast, not keeping any sort of rhythm. His joking attitude was long gone, replaced only with desperation.

It was only a moment later that Gary was cumming down your throat, body shuddering as he moaned out his ecstasy. You lapped up his semen, swallowing as much as you could. You continued to suck him, eager for every last drop. He tapped your shoulders once he was too overstimulated. You obliged him, letting go of his tip with a soft pop. 24 continued fucking you with reckless abandon, chasing his approaching orgasm. You were starting to feel it too, 24’s balls had been hitting your clit hard and you could feel yourself getting closer.

“He feel good in you, baby?” Gary stoked your hair, letting you rest your head on his legs. He was still coming down from his high, catching his breath. You giggled a bit at your boyfriend’s obvious attempt at sounding sexy. But damn he was right.

“Haha yeah- oh fuck! He feels great.” You looked back to 24 the best you could. “You both fuck me so well.”

“Does that mean I- unf! get to do this again?” 24 panted, inching closer to the edge.

“We’ll talk about it later.” you replied. “But- oh shit I’m gonna cum! I’m- ngh!”

That was all the warning they got before you were cumming hard. Your legs shook and muscles tightened around 24’s dick. Your hands clenched, one on Gary’s leg and the other holding his hand. 24 was close behind, pulling out and jerking himself to completion over you. He painted your ass, his hot white ropes shooting down your back, some going as far as to hit Gary.

“Friendly fire! Friendly fire!” Gary put his arms up to block his best friend's cum.

“I’m sorry, I can’t control it!” 24 replied, winding down from his intense orgasm.

The three of you stayed like that for a minute, just relishing in each other’s company. 24 was the first to move, grabbing the box of tissues from Gary’s nightstand and offering him one from the box. The men cleaned up the mess they had created, Gary laying down next to you after.

24 went to pick up his pants, picking out the pack of cigarettes and the lighter he had tucked into his pocket. He pulled three out, lighting one for himself and offering the others to you and Gary. You declined but Gary accepted the offer. The men blew their smoke out the window as you laid back into Gary’s arms. 24 sat opposite to the two of you and all three of you hadn’t bothered to put on any clothes.

—————————————————————————————

The rest of the night began with a conversation about what the future would hold. You and Gary had decided to be a mutual couple,  though 24 would be more than welcome to join in for any threesomes again in the future. You all also agreed that it was fine to have sex with just 24 if Gary was out anywhere, though dates and romance was reserved for just you and Gary.

After that conversation was had, the remainder of the night was spent smoking more weed, watching a movie, playing some video games, and even more sex once the men had enough time to recharge themselves.

It didn’t feel like long until the morning sun was peeking through the blinders, all three of you asleep on the bed. You were snuggled up next to Gary, who was sleeping comfortably with his arms wrapped around you. 24’s feet were laying on the opposite side of your head, his long body stretching to the other side of the bed.

The three of you woke up startled as both of the men’s phones blared from where they eventually put them on the nightstand. 24 grabbed both of them and tossed Gary’s to him. You looked at the screen as he answered.

“21! 24! Where they hell are you?!” A man, The Monarch you presumed, scolded them. “You were supposed to be here a half hour ago! And you’re not even in your uniforms yet?!”

“We’re sorry! We must’ve slept in!” Gary said into the receiver. When he made an effort to begin standing up, you draped your hand across his shoulder.

“Nooo” you mumbled, still half asleep. “Come back to bed..”

“..Who the fuck is that?”

“That’s uh..” Gary blushed, then smiled. “We’re dating.”

The Monarch rolled his eyes. “Well 24, what about you? Where are you and why are you late?”

“I’m uh..” you put your foot into view on 24’s chest so it would show up on his screen, waving at their boss with your toes. “Yeah. Same boat as him.”

The Monarch sighed. “Just.. get to the cocoon.” He hung up.

The Monarch had absolutely no idea how to explain to his wife that his henchman actually got laid.
