All of the sudden their eyes went bulge 👁👁 and they can't stop staring. Seeing Reaver doing sword stances in an unusually steady, slow process, with regained sense of stability, he looks positively stunning.

(((Cue phai and khas drooling over reaver's figure)))

I would like to imagine Phai and khas sparring and exercising first. In the interest of khaslana and reaver's slowly budding trust and healing in this newly built okhema under the new dawn, Phainon accompanies them wherever they want. Sometimes during short walks in the outskirts of okhema, sometimes reading in a corner of quiet library, or soaking a hot bath in the midnight. This particular instance they're doing light motor exercises at one of the inner courtyards that aglaea discreetly arranged for them. The sessions gradually changed into sparring and physical exercise, which phainon was all too happy to accommodate. After all, who knows their own bodies other than him?

With all being said though, nothing can smack phainon back to his senses when he saw reaver's bare chest and abs, muscles rippling graciously through millenia-enduring stances.

Phainon admires the smoothed purple obsidian cracks, slowly healing with each days spent with each other. The way light hits them creates subtle sparkles that phainon can't get his eyes off them. When reaver turns, the back muscles are shining with sweat, each twist of the body emphasizing the sinuous muscles deliciously. Phai is positively drooling.

But before phai is able to move, he was beaten by khaslana who fluidly appeared in front of reaver, movement halted upon the figure of khaslana in front of him.

With gentle voice and simmering gaze, khaslana asked reaver to practice spar with him, if he's feeling alright with it.

So this is an old HCs made before 3.7, and I have no thoughts tonight but khasphaireaver cuddling....

After everything in Amphoreus happened and they got all the happy endings in the world...

Maybe ampho has finally realized and they can all travel all around the world, especially

The phailings w/ the astral express 🥹💓

But the main thought is:

They surprisingly sleep often together

Like. Just sleeping in a cuddle group of three.

It could be Khaslana and Reaver side by side and Phainon spread on top of them like an unsightly overgrown blanket

It's cute because Khas and Reaver are silent and stone sleeper but Phai moves a lot in his sleep so he could be heads up feet down with his knees trapping Khaslana's side and his elbow digging on Reaver's abdomen but they stay still while phainon is rolling around like semi sentient pillow...

They could fall asleep everywhere. It took a lot of time, patience, healing, and everyone's support, so they reestablish the trust between them and other heirs...

They've been spotted dozing off at the Apstral Express lobby sofa

Inside one of Aglaea's personal meeting room

On the porch of their own home

After a dinner party with other chrysos heirs, dozing off on the side on top of a comfy couch piled wth blankets

Under a tree in a peaceful spread of land overlooking Okhema

Just

Phailings sleeping and cuddling peacefully not a care in the world 🥹🥹💓

Bonus Khaslana wrapping his wings around them as they sleep. Protective cocoon wings from Khaslana 🥺🤲(I'm on my knees)

Reaver is also a silent sleeper. He pulls down his hood and snuggles deeper into the crook of Khaslana's neck or Phainon's embrace to hide his face from the world. He's also actually a giant octopus and likes to hold his partner's limbs in a death grip 👾

Reaver, despite being the biggest, loves to curl in on himself to make him look smaller. He loves being the small spoon despite never saying it. He's so good at staying quiet and malleable. He really just goes thru the motions. But in several occassions, he loves being in the middle of their cuddle pile. His face buried in Phainon's chest, while his back is warmed by Khaslana's blazing warmth.

I don't know to explain it, but imagine when they're sleeping but Phainon moves a lot in his sleep, and accidentally slapped Khaslana awake. Khas is gonna be up looking like this:

What if phainon grinds his teeth in his sleep, Reaver heard it bc too loud and jolted him awake, so he smack Phainon awake. ("Phai... noisy...") ("Ah- huh? mmkay..") <-Phai goes back to sleep, no longer grinding his teeth but starts snoring. Reaver is 😞

One time, Phainon accidentally snored that HUGE Dad Snore™️ That jolted Khas and Reaver awake grumpily. But of course, they do nothing to disturb Phainon's sleep. He's so precious to them, and they know Phai needs all the sleep he can gets, being busy in Okhema's reparations. Despite frequently disturbed by Phainon's sleep habits, they're so gentle to him, and never do anything to disturb Phainon sleeping 🥹 they're so patient when it comes to Phainon.

Khaslana being the one sleeping in the center because he runs so hot that he becomes the balancer in their sleeping position (Phai: warm normal like human, Reaver: so cold)

But also...
