Copia groans and slams his head back against his chair. He's exhausted, tired down to his bones and he's had a headache since he woke up which is only getting worse as the day goes on. He's had to read the same page about five times and he still has no idea what it says.

He hasn't slept well since they got home, body still messed up from all the travel and he's felt sick since then too, a routine of performing, little sleep, and junk food finally catching up. He sniffles and wipes his nose with a tissue and feels like maybe he could cry.

It's stupid, it's not the end of the world but he just...he feels empty and heavy all at once and he just needs....something.

He shoves everything away and decides he needs to call it a day, it's not like he's doing much right now anyway, he can hardly even read what's on the page as it is.

Copia finds himself heading to the ghoul wing without even thinking about it. It didn't feel right to be away from them after spending so much time in such close quarters. Especially with Dewdrop. Big he spent a lot of time soothing Copia's aches away, his warmth helping him sleep after a long show. Little he was just something of a comfort that Copia couldn't really explain.

Mountain sees him first, eyes going soft and Copia can only imagine how pathetic he looks right now, bags under his eyes and feet dragging as Mountain ushers him to the den.

Phantom and Rain are curled on the couch together, both pairs of eyes glued to the tv as some colorful movie plays for them. Rain smiles and waves when he sees Copia.

"Hi Papa!"

He smiles, shoulders relaxing. "Hi pesciolino." (Little fish)

Phantom pulls their legs up a little further. "D-do you want to w-watch too?"

Mountain pushes him gently to sit. "Relax with them for a bit."

"Where's-"

"I'll get him." Mountain laughs quietly as he exits the den, heading up to Dew's room.

Phantom and Rain both giggle at something in the movie and Copia smiles, he's got no idea what the movie is or what it's about but their laughter makes his heart feel light.

He turns when he hears Mountain return, Dew resting against his shoulder with pink cheeks and sleepy eyes. He reaches for Copia when he sees him, silent behind his soother but wanting to go to him all the same.

"Ecco il mio bambino." (There's my baby.)

Mountain gets Dew into Copia's arms, setting Ella beside him and draping his blanket over his back. Dew presses his face into Copias neck, cooing sleepily. Phantom and Rain greet the tiny ghoul with a quick kiss to his chubby cheek before turning their focus back to their movie.

"Have you eaten?" Mountain asks, moving to lift Copia's feet up onto the coffee table, pulling his shoes off in the process.

"I...not since this morning. I got busy and just...forgot I guess."

Mountain tsks and wanders off to the kitchen, retuning a few minutes later with tea. "Swiss and Cumulus are cooking and you will be staying. Understand?"

Dew opens his eyes and peers up at Mountain at the shift in his tone. He bends to kiss his forehead, apologizing softly.

He moves to stand behind Copia, digging his fingers into his shoulders and his neck, working out the tension. He groans when he hits a particularly sore spot and Dew shoves at Mountain's hand.

"No Vati..." It's muffled by his soother but they understand regardless.

Copia smiles. "It's alright, amore mio, he's helping Papa."

Mountain rubs his shoulders until the muscles are relaxes and Copia catches his hand to kiss it, thanking him for taking care of him.

He sips at his tea while Dew dozes off on his chest, his warm weight comforting, his steady heartbeat keeping Copia's in check. The other two jump from the couch and race up the stairs, Swiss popping his head out of the kitchen to remind them to walk.

It's nice, the domestic duties going on around him. It feels like home, like family and Copia hugs Dew closer.

He enjoys the silence when Mountain pauses the movie Phantom and Rain had been watching. He feels his eyes closing as he snuggles with the baby on the couch. He doesn't mean to drift off but he must because he jerks awake when a little hand touches his face and he hears a little giggle.

Copia opens his eyes and finds Dew's big bright ones staring at him.

"Hello."

Dew giggles again. "Papa!"

Swiss walks into the den, taking Dew from Copia and blowing against his neck making him scrunch up and laugh. Copia watches, the bright joy across Dew's face, a soft gentle side of Swiss...he loves them.

"Dinners done." Swiss offers Copia his hand and helps him up off the couch, his back popping as he stretches. He settles his warm hand on Copias back and guides him into the kitchen.

He sits beside Dew in his highchair, the little one excitedly chomping on his broccoli, trying to offer pieces to Copia.

He eats with everyone, struggling to stay awake but enjoying the company. He has another tea when they finish, Dew wiggling in his chair trying to get back to Copia.

"Hold on." Swiss laughs and wipes his hands and face. "I'm sure Papa doesn't really want soggy broccoli all over him."

"Bocci!"

"Broccoli monster." Swiss kisses his forehead and gets him out of the highchair. "Do you want me to get him ready for bed?"

Dew whines, little hands reaching out for Copia. "No papa mine!"

"I need to go change and-"

Cumulus kisses his cheek. "Just wear something of Dew's and sleep in there with him. You need to rest."

"I don't want to impose on the routine or-"

"You're always welcome with us, you know that." She pulls him from the chair and shoves him gently toward the den. "Now go before I toss you over my shoulder!"

He ducks his head with a little smile pulling at the corner of his mouth, nodding and quietly thanking her before following Swiss up to Dew's room.

Copia grabs sweatpants and a t-shirt, one he'd seen the fire ghoul wear frequently and dips into the bathroom to change. He can hear Swiss talking to him, soft Spanish slipping under the door and he melts when Dew gives a response.

When he finishes up and goes back into the room, Swiss is standing by the window, swaying softly with Dew in his arms.

"Papa..." He reaches out when he sees him and Swiss hands him over. The little ghoul clings to his chest, seeking out his heartbeat and purring when he finds it.

"We'll all be down in the den for a while so if you need anything just text any of us." Swiss kisses Copias cheek and the top of Dew's head. "Sleep well, papa."

Copia gets settled into the bed with Dew tucked up against his chest. "Hope you don't mind sharing your bed with me."

"Papa mine."

He smiles, running his fingers through his soft hair, his gravelly purr rumbling against his chest.

"Sogni d'oro amore mio." (Sweet dreams my love)

Dew reaches up and touches his lips, eyes starting to get heavy. "Ti amo."

It never fails to make his eyes sting when he hears any kind of deceleration of love in his sweet little voice. The fact that he was willing to give it so freely after everything he'd gone through wasn't a small thing and Copia never took it for granted that he was counted among the ones he trusted.

"Ti amo di più." (I love you most)

“Oh, you want it bad, don’t you?” Swiss teased, rubbing a thumb over his flushed cheek. “So desperate to get soaked.”

“Please,” Phantom whined, eyes fluttering as he leaned into the other’s touch. “Need it, Swissy.”

“I know you do. You’re just a needy little whore,” he chuckled. His fingers trailed over the soft skin of Phantom’s cheek and into his hair, black and white curls tangling around Swiss’ digits. He grabbed a hold of them and pulled gently, just to tilt the quintessence ghoul’s head back.

The young ghoul let out a wanton moan as he shuddered in Swiss’ grip. He laughed when he saw his cock kick pathetically and let go of him. Phantom cried out, “Swissy, please, gimme…”

Swiss bent down, leaned in close and licked a fat stripe up Phantom’s face, purring. “A slut for piss. My piss.”

“Soon, baby.” He grabbed his jaw, squeezing so Phantom’s mouth would fall open. Not that he needed to force him to do so, the quintessence ghoul’s tongue lolled out the second he gathered Swiss’ intention. He stayed like that, drool dripping off the appendage, when Swiss pulled his hands back to get his, more than half hard, cock out.

Soon enough Phantom was whining and moaning like a true whore, begging for the multi ghoul to stop teasing him and finally shove it down his throat. “Please, please, Swissy, gimme, I can make you feel good, please, I’ll be good…”

“Oh, baby,” he cooed. “I know you will. You want your reward too much.”

“Yeah, I d– do,” Phantom breathed out, nodding just a bit too eagerly.

“Go on, then.” Swiss put the very tip of his dick onto the other’s tongue and he whimpered when the saltiness of Swiss’ pre made his taste buds explode. Phantom dived in, then, taking all of the multi ghoul’s cock to the very hilt, fighting against his gag reflex. He might've been good at taking dick, but Swiss’ was by no means small.

“Fuck, bug…” he moaned himself, weak for Phantom’s mouth just as he was for his cock. He wouldn’t last long, but he was way past being ashamed of that.

The quintessence ghoul went all in, licking, sucking, pulling off to focus on the head and then deep throating him all over again, making Swiss go near crazy. He tried so very hard to keep his composure, only letting a few praises escape his lips once in a while. The multi ghoul pulled Phantom off only as he felt himself nearing the edge and shushed him when he whimpered pathetically.

“Pretty little slut,” he spat, grabbing himself and jerking off roughly, aiming straight at Phantom. He caught on and closed his eyes, waiting. He didn’t have to for long, though. Soon enough Swiss groaned and started to cum, shooting all over the quintessence ghoul’s pretty face. Phantom moaned at the feeling and taste when some of the pearly ropes hit his tongue, but it was not what he wanted. At least not everything.

“Please, please, please,” he babbled, on the verge of crying. Swiss thought his tears would mix beautifully with the cum already splattered on his face.

“Relax.” The multi ghoul grabbed the base of his softening cock. “You’ve earned it, baby.”

With those words the stream started and Swiss’ sigh of relief was drowned out by the most ruined little noise Phantom made as piss washed over his shoulders and chest, flowing hotly down to his painfully hard cock. He grabbed himself with a shaky hand and started stroking so fast and hard Swiss thought it must’ve been painful. The multi ghoul continued to piss on him, praises spilling from his lips as he watched Phantom get completely ruined under him.

It took him just a few short moments to tense up and start cumming all over as he folded in on himself and breathed heavily. Swiss smirked, taking in the debauched image of the young ghoul before he knelt down into the puddle of piss and cum and wrapped his arms around Phantom.

Mountain got into those particular moods sometimes, when all he needed was to be taken out of his head in a specific way, only possible by the hands of one ghoul. Rain knew that perfectly well and cherished that knowledge.

This time it was no different. The earth ghoul was sulking around all grumpy, and Rain couldn’t take it. Not much conversation needed to happen when he looked at Mountain with that special look in his eyes. Soon enough they were in Rain’s room, Mountain standing bare before him.

“Want me to make it better, hm?” Rain purred, running his hands up and down the other’s chest.

“Please,” the earth ghoul whispered and Rain smirked. He grabbed his shoulders and pushed him down gently, just a suggestion. Mountain lowered himself down until his knees hit the carpeted floor with a thud.

“Good boy. You just need to be reminded of your place, yeah? Fucked and claimed but with love. I know, I know. I’ve got you,” Rain tutted, softly petting through Mountain’s hair as he floated further and further away. “I’ll fill you up soon enough. Go, hop up on the bed. I’ll be right there.”

Mountain was slightly reluctant to move away, but he obeyed, padding over to the bed and kneeling in the middle of it. Rain downed one more glass of water before joining him. “Hands and knees, Mounty. You know what I want.”

He did know, and he could feel his cunt clench and ooze out even more slick than it already did at the thought.

“Good puppy,” Rain praised him as he was slowly getting rid of his own clothes. His mouth watered and his cock twitched at the sight of Mountain’s damp pussy all plump and shiny with slick once his back was arched, presenting perfectly. He’d love to bury his face in it, but that’s not what the plan for tonight was. Another time.

The earth ghoul whined quietly into the pillow and while Rain would normally scold him for making unnecessary noise and being greedy, this time he took it as a sign to bring his fingers up and finally touch him. He dipped a finger in between his folds and dragged it through amounts of slick that could rival a water ghoul. He let out a small gasp when Rain’s cold finger made contact with his flushed pussy, but before he could get any meaningful stimulation it was gone.

“Delicious,” he heard Rain murmur behind him and soon enough the tips of two fingers sank slowly into his cunt up to the third knuckle. Mountain moaned and arched his back even further, tail hooked high up over his hip. “There we go.”

Both of them knew this wasn’t supposed to be the focus of his handwork, though, and as if on cue, Rain’s fingers retracted from the earth ghouls cunt again and scooped up some more slick before moving higher up to his asshole.

“You ready?” A high pitched whimper muffled by the pillows was an answer enough, so he gently pushed a finger in, reveling in the tightness. He couldn’t wait to feel it around his dick. Later, though.

Rain fingered Mountain slowly, carefully stretching him as he tried so very hard to keep relatively quiet and still. Soft praises escaping from Rain’s mouth all the time most certainly didn’t help in keeping the earth ghoul’s mind present. It was alright, though. His brain wasn’t needed.

One finger became two and then three and soon enough Rain deemed Mountain ready for getting somewhat of a relief. He tried his best to be good, to be a good puppy that deserved Rain’s attention, that deserved to be fucked, filled and claimed by him.

The water ghoul patted his ass playfully and moved up onto his knees, his hard and leaking dick begging for stimulation, too. Rain dragged the tip through the wetness of Mountain’s folds and brought it to his very entrance.

“Gonna get it soon, puppy, just relax for me and take it,” he sighed and slowly pushed in, spearing Mountain on his cock inch by inch until his hips were flush with the other’s ass. They both shuddered as Rain waited, giving the two of them a moment to adjust. He folded over the earth ghoul to lovingly nuzzle his face into his already sweaty back, but the position put uncomfortable pressure on his full bladder. Less time than he thought, then.

“P– please,” Mountain whimpered, wiggling his hips, and Rain groaned as he slowly pulled out so just the tip stayed in.

“Gotcha, pup,” he grunted and thrusted back in, making both of them moan in unison. It felt too good and the filthy squelch of Mountain’s wet cunt was making Rain truly dizzy. He groaned and moaned as he fucked in and out of the earth ghoul, chasing only his own pleasure. Mountain would get his reward later.

Rain gripped the other’s hip with his fingers, dimpling the flesh. The thoughts of what was to come, what was about to happen, was egging him on, getting him closer and closer to the edge. It was all for Mountain, but Rain got off on it just the same. The earth ghoul was getting desperate, though, pushing his ass back and whining like a truly hurt little puppy.

“Nearly there, pup,” Rain breathed out, eyes squeezed shut as he thrusted a handful more times before his body tensed all up and he moaned loudly, spilling his load deep inside Mountain’s cunt. The earth ghoul himself was close, too, betrayed by the almost perfectly timed clenches and twitches of his insides and he didn’t have to spit out his pleas for Rain to know.

“Please, please, Rain, n– need it,” he babbled as he had to physically restrain himself from cumming before he got what he wanted. What he needed. The water ghoul wouldn’t dare to disappoint him, though. He pulled out before he could go truly soft, reveling in the sight of the wet mess of slick and cum that Mountain’s cunt was now, and even though Mountain knew he was not going anywhere, his fuzzy brain registered abandonment. He couldn't take not getting it. He cried out, tears pooling in his eyes, “Rain, please…”

“I‘m here,” he groaned and all but shoved himself into the earth ghoul’s ass. They both cried out this time, Rain at the overstimulation and Mountain at finally being so close to getting what he so desperately wanted. Rain’s forehead thumped against the other’s spine as he snaked his hand under him to toy with his clit.

“Are you ready, baby?” he asked once more and Mountain wailed, clenching around him. Rain hissed and squeezed his eyes as he relaxed as best as he could and let go.

The earth ghoul sobbed as his orgasm washed over him when warm piss started filling him up to the brim. Rain lay limply bent over his back, panting, and Mountain was shaking and crying, his legs giving out, making him flop down with the other ghoul clinging to him. He was filthy, soaked with slick, cum, sweat and piss, but he had never felt so at peace as now. Pleasantly filled, claimed and so close to Rain.

The room was filled only with the sound of both their heavy breathing for a good few minutes, the water ghoul sprawled out on top of Mountain with his dick still inside his hole, as piss slowly trickled out of him.

“Feel better, pup?”
