Family

'Eew, daddy. That's gross. Stop kissing Matt.'
Matej reluctantly pulled his lips from Eric's glancing down at the huddled sleeping form on the sofa between them. Not sleeping after all, it seemed. Eric laughed softly, his breath warm on Matej's cheek.

'Hon, time for you to hit the bed. You know the drill. Brush your teeth and jump into your pyjama. I'll be up to tell you a good night story in..', Eric glanced at his wrist watch, 'exactly 5 minutes.'

Sarah dragged herself tiredly off the couch, pushing herself on her feet, yawning.
'I want Matt to tell me a story tonight.'

Matej looked up from the sofa, surprised. Eric smiled at him, grabbing his thigh, squeezing the solid muscle.
"I don't know any good stories, Sarah. I'm sure your dad can..', he murmured, looking to Eric for help, but he just grabbed a beer from the couch table and smiled innocently.
'She's yours, Matej. Have fun. She likes unicorns and princesses', he laughed.

'Unicorns!!', Sarah yelled, but slipped into a yawn once more.
'You can tell me what happened to the two princes who fell in love that dad told me about", she added, walking toward the corridor.

Matej looked inquiringly at his lover. Eric shrugged, raising the beer bottle to his lips.
'I wanted to explain to her why two guys... You know', he lifted his hand from the thigh and beckoned his fingers between himself and Matej. Two princes in love. Matej hated to admit how the gesture moved him. He shook his head, smiling, covering Eric's returned hand on his thigh with his before he got up to follow Sarah and think of a story for her. A story about what happened to the two princes in love. If only Matej knew that one already .
