"Morning After Anticipation"

As the breakfast chaos subsided, and the kitchen was spotless, Nick and Max exchanged a knowing glance. The triplet siblings were all engrossed in their respective activities - Matt was watching cartoons in the living room, and Chris was busy playing video games on his console. The house was quiet, with only the occasional sound of laughter or a cartoon theme song breaking the silence. Nick grabbed Max's hand, and they both snuck out of the kitchen, trying not to draw attention to themselves. They tiptoed out of the room, careful not to make a sound, as they made their way upstairs. The creaking of the stairs beneath their feet was the only sound that broke the silence. As they reached the top of the stairs, Nick turned to Max and whispered, "I think we have about twenty minutes before Chris comes looking for us." Max chuckled and pulled Nick into the bedroom, shutting the door behind them. The room was dimly lit, with only a sliver of sunlight peeking through the blinds. Nick and Max didn't need much encouragement, and they quickly found themselves wrapped in each other's arms. They stood by the door, kissing passionately, their hunger for each other palpable. Max pushed Nick against the door, his hands roaming over Nick's body, and Nick moaned softly, his hands digging into Max's shoulders. The tension between them was building, and they both knew they couldn't wait much longer. Nick broke away from the kiss, gasping for air, and Max smiled, his eyes locked on Nick's. "Twenty minutes," Nick whispered, a sly grin spreading across his face. Max chuckled and began to undress, his clothes dropping to the floor as he moved towards the bed. Nick followed suit, his eyes never leaving Max's body. As they both lay on the bed, Nick reached out and pulled Max close, their lips meeting in a fierce kiss. The world outside melted away, and all that mattered was the two of them, lost in their own little bubble of love and desire. The sound of Chris's voice calling out from downstairs, "Nick! Max! You guys okay?" broke the spell, and they both froze, their lips still touching. Nick smiled and whispered, "I think our time's up." Max chuckled and rolled off Nick, pulling him close. As they caught their breath, Nick whispered, "I'll deal with Chris. You stay here." Max nodded, a contented smile on his face, and Nick slipped out of bed, his body bare and beautiful in the morning light. Nick opened the door, and Chris was standing in the hallway, a look of amusement on his face. "Everything okay?" Nick asked, trying to sound nonchalant. Chris raised an eyebrow and replied, "Yeah, I just needed to ask you about the game tonight. Don't mind me, I'll just leave you two lovebirds alone." Nick grinned, relieved that Chris hadn't suspected anything. "Thanks, man. We'll be down in a bit." Chris nodded and headed back downstairs, leaving Nick to slip back into bed with Max. As they settled in, wrapped in each other's arms, Nick whispered, "I love you." Max smiled, his eyes locked on Nick's, and replied, "I love you too."
