Kelly's Pov
As I lay there between Buck and Eddie, their warmth enveloping me like a protective cocoon, I felt a surge of gratitude welling up within me. They were more than just friends – they were family, my chosen family, and I was grateful for every moment we shared together.
As sleep began to claim me, I felt a sense of peace settle over me, knowing that no matter what challenges lay ahead, as long as we faced them together, we could overcome anything.

Buck's Pov
The next morning dawned bright and clear, the sunlight filtering through the curtains and casting a warm glow over the room. As I slowly stirred awake, I couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation building within me. It was a new day, filled with endless possibilities, and I was eager to see what it held in store.
Stretching out languidly, I turned to glance at the clock on the bedside table. It was still early, the world outside just beginning to stir from its slumber. But despite the early hour, I felt a surge of energy coursing through me, eager to embrace the day ahead.
As I sat up in bed, rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I couldn't help but smile at the sight of Kelly and Eddie still sound asleep beside me. They looked so peaceful, their faces relaxed in repose, and for a moment, I simply watched them, grateful for their presence in my life.
But as the minutes ticked by, I knew that it was time to rise and greet the day. With a soft sigh, I slipped out of bed, careful not to disturb my sleeping companions. Padding quietly across the room, I made my way to the window, pulling back the curtains to let the morning sunlight flood into the room.
The sight that greeted me took my breath away – the city stretched out before me, bathed in the soft hues of dawn. It was a sight I had seen a thousand times before, but somehow, it felt different today – more vibrant, more alive.
Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes and let the warmth of the morning sun wash over me, filling me with a sense of peace and tranquility. It was moments like these that reminded me of the beauty and wonder of life, of the endless possibilities that lay ahead.
But as I stood there, lost in thought, a soft voice broke through the stillness, pulling me from my reverie.
"Buck? Is everything okay?"
I turned to see Kelly standing in the doorway, a concerned look on his face. He must have sensed my distraction, my mind wandering to places unknown.
"Yeah, everything's fine," I replied, forcing a smile. "Just lost in thought, I guess."
Kelly crossed the room to join me at the window, his eyes scanning the city skyline with a sense of wonder. "It's beautiful, isn't it?" he said, his voice barely above a whisper.
"Yeah, it is," I agreed, feeling a surge of gratitude welling up within me. "And it's even more beautiful with you by my side."
Kelly smiled, a soft blush tinting his cheeks. "Thanks, Buck," he said, his voice filled with warmth. "I'm glad you're here with me."
As we stood there together, watching the sun rise over the city, I knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, as long as we faced them together, we could overcome anything.

 Kelly and I sat down to have a serious conversation about adding Eddie to our relationship, the weight of yesterday's events hung heavy in the air between us. It was clear that we needed to address the situation head-on, to ensure that we were both comfortable with the idea before moving forward.
