Carlos was not necessarily expecting morning kisses like this, though he was not exactly not expecting them either. He touched hummed contentedly as he yawned while blinking away the sleep form his eyes. “Mm, hello my beautiful love.” He, as might have been expected, buried his face into Kaleb’s neck and eventually chest as the sleep that still coursed through his brain and body tried to overwhelm him again. Now it was comfier sleep that tempted him. Asher decided that he was not even going to hide his intentions of being a pain. His smile was mischievous. His words were thick with not the sweetness that came from being with one’s love but the coarseness of wanting something. He hoped that Jordan might get the wrong idea. It would bring him so much more joy that way. “Good morning, lovebug.” Then he captured those lips again, a little rough and with as much desire as he could possibly manage when what he really wanted was what would happen after this.

Ezekiel gestured for Alex to join him, though now that he thought about it, he was thinking that this may not be where he wanted to start this project after all. “You were always the best of us,” he mused as he took them to a table where he patted a spot and moved to what looked like a dresser behind them. He pulled open one of the draws and brought out several items. One was a normal notepad that was there when he got there. Another was a pad of paper that was far larger and used for when he made his actual designs. Those were found later when he lamented not having something as such. Last were several pencils. “Alright, draw for me a sketch of what you want it to look like.” He pushed the normal notepad in front of Alex. “It does not have to look perfect or even lifelike necessarily. Just enough to get started.”​

Kaleb looked at Carlos, smiling as he felt his face buried in his neck. “Morning my love.” Kaleb replied, kissing the top of Carlos’ head as he felt that face bury into his chest. He simply chuckled as he laid there, letting Carlos get as comfy as he wanted. It would make the next thing even better. Jordan saw that mischievous smile and grinned back. He didn’t have a chance to say anything else as lips claimed his. He felt the desire and roughness in the kiss and grinned into it. He kissed Asher back, arms going to wrap around him.

Alex followed his older brother to a different spot section and listened to him. His head slightly tilted to one side as he walked. “Really?” Alex asked, some confusion in his voice. He took the pencil and started sketching out a beautiful arch for their brother’s wedding. “So, how have you been, really been since we last saw each other?”​

Carlos took about five seconds to get entirely settled into this new position. There was nothing better than being absolutely ensconced with Kaleb. He had Jordan and presumably Asher nearby as well. He could definitely fall asleep again without much effort. In fact, that was what he was already doing. His eyes were closed, and his mind was settling in. Asher reached around and grabbed those arms, shoving them away from him and up above Jordan’s head. “Uh uh,” he chuckled as he kept the kisses going. Those arms were going to make this plan difficult. He wanted Jordan to be comfortable in the assumption that this was going to be a morning that Asher controlled. Which it was. The push would be very soon.

Ezekiel nodded. He had always believed that Alex was the best of everyone. He found nothing but flaws in himself, and his relationship with Kaiden started based on both those and Kai’s. There was no question about Theo’s flaws either. Alex had so much fewer, and yet he was so young. “You are currently designing the wedding arch for people you did not even know when last we were together. That proves your goodness.” His smile faltered only slightly at the question. It by no means was bad. He had been well. He had a blooming relationship that felt like it was only getting better. He was surrounded by a family that overall accepted him quickly. There may have been… hiccups. Was that not life? Alex had been there for more than his fair share of Ezekiel’s life hiccups. And then there was the idea of marriage. He could still hear Josh implying it. Theo pushing it. Hayden questioning it. He could still feel the pit in his stomach when it came to every aspect. How to ask. When to ask. If he should do so. If this was a good time. If ever was. If this was what was right Kaiden. He tried to push that aside. “Very well,” he finally answered. “I am an integral part of a well-constructed community that allows its members to be who they wish to be and not what someone else decided for them. I have more family than I ever had on the island which is… still strange. But it is good. It is very good.”​

Kaleb couldn’t help but chuckle softly, he could see that Carlos was perfectly comfortable. That he was settling in to fall asleep again. Perfect. Kaleb waited for about a minute before he moved his arms to Carlos’ chest, and pushed hard, shoving his love off the bed with a laugh. Jordan felt Asher take his arms and shove them up and over his head. Oh. That kind of morning, he grinned as he felt the kisses continue. He was too engrossed his partner to hear the thud from the bed to the floor or heard Kaleb’s laughter.

Alex smiled softly, nodding his head as he heard that. “True. Very true.” He agreed as he sketched out the design. He wanted to paint it blue like Kaleb’s eyes and add black trim for Carlos’ hair and put red flowers woven in to the lattice. “Yes, I have to admit. This place so far seems much nicer than the island. More freedom to be who and what you want.” Alex agreed as he pushed the finished design towards Ezekiel. “Is this possible?”​

Asher was very aware of what Kaleb was doing with Carlos. His attention was split between keeping his partner distracted and figuring out where Kaleb was in the plan. He gripped the hands pretty tight above them. Carlos was drifting, close to sleep again as he felt hands on his chest. This was not unusual, and frankly, it felt nice to have the contact, so he was not expecting the sudden shove. Asher, aware that this was what was happening, growled a commanding, “Stay,” as he pulled his hands down Jordan’s arms, over his shoulders, and down to his chest. He planted one more deep kiss as he moved his own hands in place. Stifling his own laugh for the moment, he shoved Jordan off the bed. His laughs mixed with Kaleb’s as Carlos was too shocked to do much more than be on the ground, his sleepy brain now very much awake from the sudden attack as he opened his eyes and tried to figure out what just happened.

Ezekiel watched the drawing, trying to imagine it as a piece that they created. He was not much of a designer, though that was what he would have said several months ago. He was better at the physical creation. He was still good at the design as well. Some of the others were better at it than him, and sometimes he would consult them on more of the little details. In this, Alex already had that for him. He leaned over with his own pencil and added a few embellishments and adjusted some of the lines of the latices. “It is more than possible. We can make this.” He pulled one of the longer papers in front of him, the ones that were already gridded for him, and he began to create an actual design based off of what Alex sketched. “I do wish that more of our island could have found places like this. I am glad that you are here.” He fell silent here as the thoughts from before plagued his mind again. He would bring it up with Alex. Probably. Eventually. Maybe. “A standard size I assume?” He drew a little sketchy person under Alex’s sketchy arch. “Approximately that tall?”​

Kaleb shifted so he could look over the edge of the bed and down at Carlos. "Whatcha doing on the floor baby?" Kaleb asked, as he crossed his arms and rested his head, a smirk on his face and blue eyes twinkling as he laughed. Jordan meanwhile had a big grin on his face as he heard the commanding word and felt the grip on his hands that was pretty tight as well. His arms stayed where they were like he'd been told, as he felt Asher's hand down his arms, his shoulders, and to his chest. Then he felt the shove and he rolled off the bed and hit the ground with grunt as he blinked, all sleepiness and other thoughts flew from his brain as he heard Asher laughing. "Oh you're funny gorgeous." Jordan coughed out with a snort of laughter.

Alex looked at Ezekiel when he handed the paper to him and smiled happily, hearing that. "I'm so happy to hear that." He replied as he watched him grab a large piece of paper and watched him create the design. It was just as fascinating to watch that as it was watching Carlos draw. "Well, I'd like it about a foot taller than Carlos and Kaleb so yes?" Alex answered, not entirely sure if that would be a standard size or not.​

For another cruel moment, Carlos’ mind went about a thousand different places as he tried to process everything that was happening. Him having hit the floor. The laughter coming from two people up there. The other loud crash that he was starting to realize was Jordan who probably also got knocked off the side of the bed. Asher lounged on the other side of the bed, glancing down at Jordan. “I’m sorry, did you want something else?” His voice said that he was absolutely not sorry at all. Carlos finally choked out a laugh that very quickly became a resounded guffaw. He fell back so that he could stare up at Kaleb. “Seems like I was betrayed,” he managed between the laughter. “Jordan! We were betrayed!”

Ezekiel looked at the design and then shrugged. “Between you and me, I go by feel most of the time.” He grinned as he leaned forward as though he had secrets he could not tell anyone else around. He had not seen the other men today. He doubted that he would for another hour or so. “They do not know how very little I know of the craft. It would appall them that I am not so much like them.” He continued creating the actual plan for the arch. “Anything can be changed as we go. In fact, we are likely to change from this. It is a good starting point to know the sizes we are going to need.” He paused briefly. “Why these colors?”​

Kaleb looked at Carlos before he heard the thud on the other side of the bed and looked back, yep. Jordan was on the floor now too. He looked back at Carlos, hearing him laugh, and the fall back and Kaleb stared at him laughing still. "Betrayed? Hmm. Maybe." Kaleb said with a chuckle, looking back at Asher. "You hear that? They think they've been betrayed." Kaleb said with a laugh. Jordan looked up at Asher, hearing his words, and noticed that he clearly was not sorry. Jordan rolled a little more so he could reach up and grab Asher's shirt and pulled. "Maybe you should come join me gorgeous."

Alex looked at Ezekiel and chuckled, hearing his words. He saw the grin and leaned in as well, like he was going to find out a secret. "Say it isn't so? I didn't realize you didn't know as much as people think you do." Alex replied, chuckling softly before nodding. He heard the question about the colors and smiled. "The blue matches Kaleb's eyes and Carlos is obsessed with it. Carlos' dress is that color too. And the black is for Carlos."​

Asher made some sort of tsk sound as he shook his head. “That would be because they made incorrect assumptions on what we wanted.” He resisted only slightly as Jordan’s hand came up and pulled him down. He let himself slide off the bed and on top of him. “You know what I want?” he asked, lips so close to Jordan’s. He grazed just the surface as he moved them to the outside of his ear. “I want… you.” Like that was the end. Except that it wasn’t. “To get up and eat your breakfast.” He kissed the edge of Jordan’s jaw and crawled away, aiming to get up. Carlos on the other side was horribly offended by the lack of support in the betrayal. He sighed as loudly as he could and shook his head. “This was why…someone dumped someone. I don’t remember who anymore to be fair. All I know is that Alex would never have betrayed me like this.” He reached a hand up. “Buttering me up like that just to knock me down. That is devious.”

Ezekiel smiled. “That is… unexpected but endearing.” He tapped the drawn arch a few times and then looked up. “So the wood we choose does not matter as much since it will be painted. I don’t have a lot of paint. That we may need to outsource…” He narrowed his eyes as he thought about who might have some. He usually made all natural things. “And you can mix the color to be the correct one?” Then he paused as something occurred to him. “Dress? A… man is wearing a dress?” That was such a foreign concept after coming from the island. He was only recently able to fully accept that men could romantically be with one another. Now they too could wear dresses? It was such a strange concept. He was by no means against it. He was simply shocked.​

Jordan chuckled, shaking his head as he felt Asher lay on top of him after he'd pulled him off. He heard the question, how close Asher's lips were to his own and smirked, feeling those lips move to just outside his ear. A smile erupted on Jordan's face, until he heard Asher and felt the kiss to the edge of his jaw. Jordan was shocked enough that he couldn't grab Asher and bring him back. Kaleb heard Carlos and chuckled, shaking his head. "I think Alex would be up here with me." Kaleb replied, taking Carlos' raised hand with a smile.

Alex chuckled, hearing Ezekiel and nodded. "Okay, that sounds good." He replied and then smiled. "I can mix it yeah, and find the perfect blue." Alex added as he watched Ezekiel. Then he heard the question and laughed harder. "Yeah.. well. I was telling them about the marriages on the island, and the ceremonial dress that the women would were. Long story short, we found the dress for Carlos and a nice outfit for Kaleb to wear." Alex said with a smile.​

Carlos used that hand to pull himself up and stand in front of Kaleb. “That’s what you say now. I have it on good authority, my own, that Alex would be on my side.” He grinned and kissed Kaleb’s cheek. “Alright, I’m up. No more beautiful sleeps for me.” Asher was standing and out of reach within seconds. He peered over at Kaleb and then Carlos who too was standing. “Lovebug, your counterpart is handling this better than you.” He shook his head and started heading to the door. “Come on. My big, strong men have a nice breakfast waiting for them out here.” He slid out the door and then paused, leaning back in. “For a price of course.” Then he disappeared down the hall. Carlos sighed. “There’s always a price for good food.”

Ezekiel could not help but laugh. He burst from him so suddenly that he raised a hand to cover his mouth. “These two continue to be more and more interesting as I hear more about them. Alright. Blue like eyes and also like the attire. We can worry about the color later. We should assemble it first. Or well, start getting the pieces ready.” He stood up from the table and walked back to the room with the wood. “Take your pick. Some are sturdier than others. Some have various smells.” He found himself laughing again. “A man with a dress. The world is so much freer off the island.”​

Kaleb looked at Carlos when he stood up and smirked, feeling the kiss to his cheek. "Good. Glad to hear you're awake." He said with a smile as he slipped off the bed too, taking Carlos' hand. He watched as Jordan got up a moment after Asher headed out the door. Jordan looked at the other two and followed after Asher, and Kaleb headed the way too, tugging on the hand he held. "Come on baby, let's join them."

Alex looked at him, hearing that laugh and chuckled, with a grin on his face. "They certainly are something." Alex agreed as he nodded, hearing that they'd worry about the color later. He looked at the wood in the room when he'd walked over. "Pine." He said, pointing to the pine wood with a smile. "And yes, I've learned so much about the world beyond our island by traveling. And it is so much freer."​

Carlos followed Kaleb as he was urged to do with the added excitement of breakfast. Asher was already to the table where he set out the two meals for the two men and leaned against the table as he waited. “For our two favorite sleepyheads.” He grinned as everyone appeared. Carlos investigated and then smiled. “You two are so sweet!” He plopped down in a chair and reached for his meal. Asher, however, blocked it. Carlos frowned and pouted. “For a price,” he reminded. “Today, we are moving everything from our old house here. I am over living destitute. I want to live like the reasonable and well-off people that we are.” He lifted his barrier between the food and Carlos. Carlos was down with the plan.

Ezekiel nodded approvingly of his choice in wood and grabbed a couple of beams and hunks of the pine. “Grab some? Whatever you can carry. We can always put extra back later.” He had a separate pile for smaller pieces that he thought he might be able to use for something. He moved them back into the bigger workshop area where he dropped his pile of wood on the floor and moved back for the more official design. “We are going to have to make the pieces that we are putting together for the arch of course. Which means we need to determine each piece that we need.” He grabbed his pencil and started writing sizes. “If the whole thing is going to be about seven and a half feet tall, we need to determine which pieces are what size. Basic pieces are going to be our bases to stabilize the arch, the bits going all the way up, and the bits that join in the middle. Basic. We can embellish from there.” He almost shrugged.​

Kaleb chuckled as he headed into the kitchen, and saw the meals laid out. Jordan had sat down, but he too had been blocked by Asher. His eyes focused on his partner's and chuckled, nodding his head. That seemed reasonable enough. Kaleb stood beside Asher as he watched their two men eat the breakfast that they were brought. Jordan ate the food, slowly, he was never one for eating fast if he didn't need to, and he really didn't need to.

Alex nodded, and grabbed some of the wood as well. As much as he could carry and followed Ezekiel to the bigger workshop area and set the wood down. He looked at the pieces and then at Ezekiel. "Okay, that makes sense. What are we going to start with?" He asked curiously. Alex was determined to do this as best as he could do. It was something he wanted to do for his brothers. ​

Asher took this time to make plans for how the day was going to work. That Jordan was never able to get him to drop. “We have plenty of bins and boxes that we can fill to move things over. We can pack every drawer better and slowly walk it. In theory, we could commandeer a horse to pull a cart for us so that we can make fewer trips.” He tried to make a mental list of everything that they needed to move now. With so many of them, it might take more than the day, and that was alright.

Ezekiel could tell him what he would do first, but he felt that simply following his instructions would not be enough. “You tell me.” He had that small smile that he used to have when Alex was younger, and Ezekiel was still teaching him. He always had preferred a more hands on method. “Where do you want to start first. There are no wrong answers.” He pointed to the. Plan where Ezekiel had already made the denotations for each section and piece as well as sizing. “This is your project. I am here to aid you.”​

Kaleb looked at Asher and hummed, hearing him. "Would we be able to borrow a horse?" Kaleb asked, before Jordan looked up, swallowing his bite. "We can use Thunder, he's pulled a cart before." Jordan suggested as he looked at Asher before taking another bite of food. Kaleb thought about that, it would make sense to do that. He looked at Asher and smiled. "That sounds like a good idea."

Alex looked at his brother and heard him, seeing that small smile back from when he was younger. It brought back memories of him teaching Alex on the island and on the main land. He looked at the plan and then at the pieces. "We should start with the base on each side of the arch, and maybe make it so we can dismantle it easier? It would be easier to bring it up to the farmhouse if we can take it apart I think."​

“Thunder really is a great horse,” Asher commented as Jordan and Carlos ate. “I can grab him and a cart and meet you at the house for whenever you decide to be done.” He leaned over and kissed the top of Jordan’s head. “Our room doesn’t feel right yet. It’s so bare here.” Carlos grinned. “That’s a great plan. Horse power. Muscle power.” he nudged Jordan. “We will have everything moved in no time.”

Ezekiel’s smile grew. “Good thoughts. I agree. The base will allow us to have the stability so that we can build on top of it.” He pointed to the pieces and then drew them out as individuals so that Alex could see them better. “This is how many pieces we are going to need. Well, this is how many pieces I have done before for similar pieces. We can make changes as we go. So now, based off of these measurements, you find the pieces of wood that are closest or will work best for the shapes and sizes that we need before we cut them down.”​

Jordan nodded as he looked up at Asher. He would miss riding Thunder, but someone had to take Joel's horse and he had offered to take him. He knew that Carlos and Thunder were a good match though. "That sounds wonderful love, see you soon." Jordan said, smiling at the kiss to his head as he looked at Carlos. "Mmhmm. I can't wait to see those muscles of yours in action." Jordan said with a wink and a grin as Kaleb rolled his eyes and chuckled. "I'm going with him. See you two soon." Kaleb said, brushing a hand along Carlos' shoulders as he looked at Asher.

Alex looked at the pieces and then saw Ezekiel draw them out individually. It was very helpful to see it drawn out like that. He turned to the pieces of wood they'd gathered and found a couple bigger, more sturdier pieces and set them on the table. "These two could work for the base on either side of the arch." Alex suggested, looking at Ezekiel. He knew that this was his job to do, but he didn't want to mess it up so he asked for help.​

Carlos grinned with both brows raised. “Like you haven’t seen them in action,” he laughed. As Asher and Kaleb left, Carlos called out, “Asher!” When Asher turned to look at him, Carlos, as serious as he could, said, “He’s still mine. He’s marrying me. Not you.” Asher rolled his eyes and walked to the front door and held it open for Kaleb. Carlos chuckled as he ate his food. This was what he had been missing.

This may not have been Alex’s vocation or the first choice for his skillset, but Alex was already impressed with the work. “Good choices. Bring them over here.” He moved to where they kept their tools and machines. “We have generators- you likely already noticed. Therefore, we do have some things that make life easier.” They had a wide array of tools that were both manual and power. They even had larger tools and machines that they could use. “I personally like to use manual tools for the majority of the work.” He grinned. “I can’t say no to a good hammer. The ones that run on power are faster and easier though they still bother me. It seems wrong. We can use whichever ones you would like to use.”​

Jordan chuckled and smirked, nodding his head. “True. I have seen them in action.” He agreed as he ate. He heard Carlos’ words and saw the rolled eyes from Asher. Kaleb laughed softly, shaking his head as he walked through the door. “Hmm. Maybe I might marry Asher now. You’ll just have to wait and see love.” He said, looking back at Carlos and winking with a teasing smile. He then walked out the front door and down towards the gate.

Alex smiled as he brought the pieces over, and he listened to Ezekiel. He’d noticed the generators and it was odd to have power. He chuckled hearing the comment about not saying no to a good hammer. “That was always your favorite thing to use.” Alex commented. “But, I guess the manual ones to start? I kind of want to do it with my own skills, though I kind of don’t have a lot of skills.” He said with a small laugh.​
