                InuYasha sat on his bed with his back against the headboard, legs stretched in front of him with Zander seated between them. His back leaned back against InuYasha, head resting on his chest just under his chin. His ears flicked on each side of his chin each time his breath danced across his hair. They were watching Kouga pace their bedroom, their eyes moving as if watching an intense tennis match.
                Zander moved InuYasha’s hands to the bulge of his stomach, finally tilting his head back and kissing InuYasha’s chin. InuYasha smiled and massaged his stomach lovingly, Kouga paused his pacing when he heard the softest groan come from Zander.
                “Sorry,” Zander smiled nervously. Kouga shook his head and sighed, plopping on the foot of the bed.
                “I don’t understand why you’re worked up. Shika just asked if you wanted to be on the council,” Inu piped up helpfully. He kept massaging Zander’s belly, the little kitten starting to squirm.
                “It’s a huge deal. I don’t know anything about this world and I know it’s an honor but I don’t want to look stupid,” Kouga pulled at his headband.
                “So say no,” Zander supplied helpfully. He smiled, tail swishing to the side in pure bliss at the attention. Kouga looked at him in frustration, he did not want to say no.
                “Well, if you want to do it, say yes then,” InuYasha shrugged, kissing the crown of Zander’s head. Kouga got up again, pacing. The two looked at each other before Zander shimmied out of InuYasha’s lap. He moved to stand in Kouga’s path. The Wolf Prince peered down at him, about to move him before he thought better of touching him.
                “Listen, it’s not an easy decision so just think through it. It’s not like they need an answer right now,” Zander grabbed his hand as he tried to swerve around him. Kouga looked at Zander’s hand, face tingeing in pink. Zander gave InuYasha a look, InuYasha shrugged and he pulled Kouga to the bed. Kouga dug his heels into the floor making Zander freeze.
                “I don’t want to take a nap right now. Every time you do this, you want me to take a nap with you,” Kouga’s face burned brighter. He enjoyed napping with them but he did not want them to calm him down right now.
                “You’ve been here like 4 days. We haven’t talked you into that many naps,” Inu’s eyebrow quirked.
                “You like our naps. I know you do because you rub my belly just like Yasha does when you think I’m fast asleep,” Zander snickered, at least getting him to sit back down. Zander crawled into his lap, straddling him, “Listen, shut your eyes and just think about what option makes you happiest.”
                Kouga stared at him, glancing to InuYasha not wanting to overstep but as he looked back at Zander he shoved his little hands over his eyes. He huffed, slowly getting irritated but calmed himself, closing his eyes, “I don’t see what this helps with.”
                “Just think about what you want to do, Kouga,” Zander’s hips shifted, distracting him momentarily. Zander looked at InuYasha who smiled, moving to sit behind Kouga. Kouga felt the dips on the mattress as he crawled over, his smell filling his nostrils. InuYasha’s legs slid along his thighs, Zander’s hips shifting more to make room for him. He felt his back press against InuYasha’s chest, his hips right up against him. His movement only paused while he moved his tail out of the way so as to not crush it between them.
                Strong arms wrapped around him, urging him to relax back. Zander’s hands still covered his eyes, not allowing him to look at what his nap buddies were doing. He gave a warning grumble, “InuYasha.”
                “Do you want me to move,” InuYasha’s arms let go of him. Zander giggled a little, removing his hands from Kouga’s eyes. Those big green eyes met his and he gave him a dirty look.
                “I said no naps,” Kouga growled at them. Zander shook his head, snickering.
                “We don’t want a nap either, we want you to calm down,” InuYasha wrapped his arms around him again, gently trying to pull him back again. He paid close attention to Kouga’s body language, making sure he wasn’t forcing him into something he wasn’t comfortable with.
                Kouga relaxed finally, glowering between the two as his head leaned back on InuYasha’s shoulder, “You’re making us nervous.”
                Kouga looked at Zander and sighed, finally releasing the frustration from his mind, “I’m sorry. It’s just such a hard decision to make.”
                “Stop thinking about it and listen to what you want to do,” Zander patted the spot over his heart.
                “Yeah, ya mangy wolf,” InuYasha laughed a little. The couple made eye contact and Zander leaned his head onto Kouga’s shoulder.
                They had discussed this in private. Zander having brought up how much Kouga clung to Inu on his first visit. How he had trouble sleeping in his own ‘room’ that night, ending up back in their bed. Zander had been sure to point out that Kouga liked to spend time with him, hanging around his office when Shika had asked him to do some advising work. Kouga had sat with him in the garden every day since arriving, his hands clinging to InuYasha’s sleeve as they sunbathed, insulting each other.
                Zander had stated maybe they should just include him until he moved on to someone else-- if he ever moved to someone else. He had told InuYasha, in the sweetest voice that he thought Kouga was having feelings for him. InuYasha had assured him he was still the only demon with his heart, kissing his neck as Zander squirmed free. He had looked at InuYasha with seriousness, passing on the few moments they had alone to make sure InuYasha knew he’d include him if that’s what he wanted.
                Now they were here, Kouga trapped in a prison of their thighs. InuYasha behind, holding him like a lover and Zander on his lap, knees balanced on InuYasha’s legs with his hips hovering over Kouga’s. He flushed, sighing as he felt their heartbeats on either side of him, “Why are you doing this?”
                “We care about you, flea bag,” InuYasha snorted softly by his ear. Zander nodded, sitting back up to look at Kouga. His whole expression softened, his tail wagging between his and InuYasha’s bodies. InuYasha laughed a little, his arms moving into a more relaxed position around Kouga’s lower torso as him and Zander snuggle attacked him.
                InuYasha focused on the two of them, if he’d of been told in his younger years this was a possibility he’d of laughed in his own face. Kouga would have killed him. He smiled, resting his head down on Kouga’s shoulder and mulling Zander’s words over in his head before pressing his lips confidently against Kouga’s neck just behind his ear. Kouga’s body went rigid, his eyes getting wide. InuYasha paid attention to him, nipping lightly at the tip of his ear to judge if he needed to back off.
                Zander watched him, worrying his lip between his teeth as he watched Kouga and Inu, “Kouga, if you’re not comfortable you just need to say so.”
                InuYasha backed off, returning back behind the boundary he’d crossed. Zander nodded in agreement with his decision and smiled to Kouga, his hands kneading against his chest lightly. He took a long time to respond, his mouth dry, “I think I’ll join the council.”
                Zander laughed a little, InuYasha rolling his eyes as he rested his chin back down on his shoulder as he held him. Kouga’s hands slowly slid down over his own hands, grabbing them as if going to remove them. InuYasha respected this, moving his chin, starting to move his arms away but Kouga pulled them snugger around him, not saying a word as he looked across the room, not wanting to look at either of them. He relaxed back against InuYasha, Zander getting a victorious look on his face and he quickly nuzzled down against Kouga’s neck, “I knew I read you right.”
                “Read me right?” Kouga removed one of his hands to wrap one arm around Zander’s waist.
                “I knew you had feelings for Yasha,” Zander giggled before realizing he may not be as welcomed until the arm closed around him. They were a package deal, so it was good to see he was ready for the whole enchilada.
                “Is this okay?” InuYasha asked quietly, smiling as Kouga’s tail wagged again. He kissed his neck once more, Zander kissing on the other side.
                “More than okay. I just had to listen to what I wanted,” He grunted out at the double attention. He thought he’d have more of a problem with InuYasha being the top of their triangle but he found InuYasha fit perfectly in this role for them both. He was like a pillar for Kouga, something he could hold onto. He could see Zander was just naturally a sub and this put him in a position to enjoy both sides.
                “I’m glad that’s how you feel,” He held him just a little longer before letting go of him, “I have to go back to work in my office for a little bit. Maybe we can do a private dinner? That’s what Sesshomaru does with Helaku, right?”
                Zander nodded giddily, “Date night! We’re gonna have a date!”
                InuYasha laughed, kissing Zander over Kouga’s shoulder before pressing a kiss to Kouga’s cheek and sliding away from the two. Kouga blushed and held the cat demon on his lap as InuYasha left them on the bed. He had the slightest smile as InuYasha looked back to them as he slid his shoes on then left.
                Later in day InuYasha returned to his room to find Kouga by himself. He was asleep in the middle of the bed in a pair of sweatpants and no shirt. His hair was down, pooling on the pillow in raven waves. He grinned, sitting on the edge and gently rubbing his hand over his back, “Hey. Wolf.”
                Kouga groaned, rolling his head to look towards where the sound came from, “Whaddya want Mutt?”
                InuYasha smiled at his sleepy eyes, continuing to rub his back, “You gonna get ready for dinner?”
                “MMyeah,” Kouga sat up and stretched. He rolled out of bed, going into the nursery to get into the clothes Zander had taken him shopping for. He got dressed then moved to their bathroom to fix his hair and brush his teeth. He hated brushing his teeth but InuYasha had told him he needed to do it every day. He knew he couldn’t trick him either as he now stood in the doorway, watching him with a look he wasn’t sure how to decipher.
                He bared his teeth at InuYasha, showing him the toothpaste on his teeth. InuYasha rolled his eyes, walking over to wet his hand and smooth a piece of Kouga’s hair down. Kouga spit into the sink as they’d taught him and rinsed his mouth out, “Toothpaste is disgusting. Why do we have to do this?”
                “Zander said it keeps your teeth healthy and your breath smelling okay,” InuYasha appraised his outfit, making sure it matched as he looked him over. Kouga shifted uncomfortably under his gaze, not used to the dominant energy that rolled from the hanyou, making him immediately want to impress him.
                “Everything okay?” Kouga’s neck and cheeks flushed as he stared at him longer.
                “Yeah, just making sure everything matches. Zander is very serious about making sure we’re presentable. I don’t understand “fashion” as he puts it, but I think it’s fine. He’ll say something if it doesn’t meet his standards,” Inu smiled, making sure all his buttons lined up and his pants were on right. He slid behind Kouga, making sure his tail was comfortably in the hole provided for it. He noticed a snap in the back above his tail hole, realizing it held his pants closed in the back. He pulled him gently by the belt loop and snapped it closed.
                “What’re you doing?” Kouga swung around and looked at him. InuYasha held his hands up, an amused expression on his face.
                “Fixing your pants, they were open in the back,” Kouga eyed him suspiciously, sliding his headband on. He checked his ponytail and then left, InuYasha following behind him, “If I wanted to touch your ass, I would’ve just done it.”
                “And if I don’t want you to touch my ass?” Kouga folded his arms, looking at him.
                “Then I would say I’m sorry and never do it again… or in this case if that’s really how you feel not do it at all,” InuYasha mirrored his body language, ears swiveling as he tried to understand.
                “I don’t know how I feel about it,” Kouga sighed, dropping the tough guy stance.
                “It’s okay to not know how to feel about it. You don’t have to like any of what me and Zander are offering. If you don’t want our attention, you just need to tell us. You’re not going to hurt my feelings, maybe Zan’s a little but he’ll survive,” InuYasha chuckled and then quickly moved his arms from his chest to catch an armful of wolf prince. Kouga’s face pressed against his neck and he held him around the waist after a second.
                “Why the hell are you so nice about all this, mutt? It makes it so hard to be mean to you,” he laughed halfheartedly.
                “Because I’ve been in your place. I know it’s all complicated; none if it makes sense and everything is new. Then add two people who want to sandwich you with affection and you’ve only been here 4 days,” Inu chuckled, pressing a kiss to the top of his head. Kouga’s body stiffened again and he sighed, realizing he needed to stop treating Kouga like Zander.
                Kouga rocked back to look at him, hands holding onto his shirt over his chest. Inu studied him, Kouga was amused on how much he looked like his brother right now. He pulled him in slowly, kissing him tenderly once their lips touched. Inu grinned against his lips, arms tightening around Kouga’s waist. Kouga’s arms came up to wrap around his shoulders, hand tangling into his hair behind his neck.
                InuYasha was still grinning as Kouga moved away from him, “I’m glad that’s how you feel. I mean we’ve known each other a long time, it’s not something I’d of seen happening back then but now it just feels…right.”
                “I am willing to admit I missed you when you got pinned again. I might’ve visited a few times,” Kouga looked everywhere but InuYasha, “But this isn’t what I would’ve seen coming. I just missed my friend.”
                They jumped as they heard a little squeal, Kouga pulling away from InuYasha. Zander clapped, waddling over to them. Kouga smiled to him, face burning in embarrassment to have their moment seen, “Oh my goodness, I’m so happy for you two!”
                “I hope you’re not offended when I say this but, I’m still warming up to you,” Kouga rubbed the back of his neck. Zander shook his head, not bothered at all.
                “I have dinner ready in a few minutes if you guys want to walk down to the garden with me,” He took both their hands, walking with them, “Did you pick your outfit on your own, Kouga? It looks nice!”
                InuYasha walked quietly with them, watching them interact. At the garden he marveled at the candlelit dinner Zander had arranged, bossing around some of his fellow servants with love. Zander took his seat, InuYasha pushing his chair in as he’d been told a gentleman does. He pulled Kouga’s chair out and waited for him to sit. Kouga walked around him, sitting in the other chair completely missing the point. Inu smirked and took his own seat, shaking his head slightly.
                They ate a nice dinner, something Zander had put together based on stories InuYasha had told him about eating around the campfires with his friends. He never failed to amaze the hanyou with how thoughtful he was about everything. No wonder his stupid brother had made it so far, with Zander helming as much as he’d seen he was pretty sure it was Zander who kept things running.
                “Zander, this is amazing. I’ve never had sweet potatoes this good and the Venison,” Kouga stuffed his face. InuYasha laughed, eating only slightly better than him. Zander just shook his head, eating like the proper boy he’d been raised to be. The two teased each other all through dinner, drinking sake that Zander had brought to the table. He was smiling, watching the two men enjoying their dinner.
                When it was time to wind down, both men were equally drunk and made sure to help clean up dinner. Zander wouldn’t tell them they were more in the way but he apologized for the two. He thanked his friends, walking with the two happy men back to their room. They had their arms around each other’s shoulders, laughing before InuYasha drunkenly remembered him. He turned to look at him and swept him off his feet, carrying him back to their room.
                “Yasha! Yasha you’re gonna hurt me! Put me down,” Zander giggled and pushed his face away as he received a sake laced kiss. Kouga laughed, guarding Zander as they walked making sure InuYasha didn’t drop him. Being just as drunk, this wasn’t a full comfort for Zander. However, together they probably equaled one full capable adult demon and he was able to get one or two guards to follow a safe enough distance behind not to cause alarm.
                They made it to their room and he gave the guards a thankful thumbs up and he laughed as InuYasha put him on their bed. He was mindful enough to only strip his shirt off for Zander, though his eyes had traveled to Kouga who also stared at him as he sensually removed the garment. He thought better of it, the gears running in his mind before he dumped the shirt in the laundry basket. He kissed Zander before going and grabbing a pair of pajama pants. He finished changing in the bathroom, Zander pouting and Kouga mildly disappointed. The two changed as well, all three meeting back in bed.
                “Yasha, you be in the middle tonight so we can both cuddle you,” Zander pushed him to the middle of the bed. InuYasha was easy enough to persuade and he was fast to snuggle up to his side.
                “I don’t cuddle,” Kouga grumbled, masculine defenses up as he crawled in bed on the other side of InuYasha. Zander spluttered, laughing hysterically from the other wide of Inu.
                “Shut up and cuddle, Kouga,” Zander nuzzled his cheek against InuYasha’s chest. InuYasha’s arms went around them both and Kouga found himself nestled close to him, nose pressed into InuYasha’s neck. He was out like a light, snoring softly. InuYasha held them both close, a smile on his lips as he drifted off.
