WARNING: okay this is a Connor and Murphy x reader, if you aren't okay with that dont read (They are not in a relationship with each other, no touching between them.)
You knew the boys for a while now, they lived in a old apartment that was pretty shabby, it was gross and unsanitary in your opinion, so often they would come over to your place for dinner if you guys didn't eat out or just to hang out for a bit, sometimes they would spend the night if they drank too much or if it was just one of those nights, you had two guest beds in a room that they would use from time to time so it worked.
You had always loved both of them, little scenarios ran through your head like, if you could choose one of them to date, or if they came up to you and asked who was better looking, etc etc, you honestly didn't know, the thought of only being together with one or the other kind of stressed you out, thankfully for you though, neither of them showed any signs of liking you that way.
At the moment, you where sitting on your couch drinking coffee peacefully and watching the news because you where bored at the moment and had pretty much just woken up, and, since you had a couple days off, you didn't have to worry about work.
You where bundled up on your couch with a blanket and your coffee, half way asleep pretty much, drifting in and out of a daze when you where snapped out of it by your phone ringing.
You almost had dropped your coffee when you heard the ringing. Thankfully you placed it down before you did.
"Hm, yeah? Uh—why..." You said, whispering the last part.
"Y/n?" You heard Connors voice on the other side...though, he didn't sound right....he sounded off.
"Hey Connor what's up?" You ask, holding back a yawn.
"Murphy got fuckin' sick and passed it on to me." You heard and then a muffled cough.
"Do ya have any honey? I heard that honey can help with sore throats and Murph says he's got one." He says to you.
"Yeah I'll be there in a few." You say and hurry off to get cloths and get some different things for them.
One day before:
Murphy woke up coughing and feeling like complete shit, he had gotten a cold, though they hadn't really gotten this before, Connor didn't really know how to take care of him too well.
He tried out different things and went with what seemed to make Murphy most comfortable.
Through his efforts of trying to help him and being in such close corroders with him 24/7, Connor caught it as well and was rendered completely useless for Murphy, resorting to their closest friend, (Closest that lived to them and trust worthy) Connor had no choice but to 'bother' you the next day after being defeated by his headache and sniffling nose.
Back to normal:
You hurried out of the house with a couple things, good food, tea bags, honey, blankets and other essentials that would probably be needed.
You drove to their house quickly and went up to the fifth floor and opened the door to see them lying on their beds.
You hadn't heard what exactly they had been talking about, but you where able to catch Connor saying, "Shut tha fuck up Murph."
"Hey guys, How ya feeling?" You questioned as you walked in, closing the door behind you and walking over to them.
It was obvious they had a cold.
"You guys are gonna have to rest hold on" You say before they could answer your other question
You brought over a couple blankets for each of them and tissues, along with honey, making them each choke down a spoon full.
You got them vitamins and other things that would help them, deciding you were going to have to be staying for a while since you refused to leave them like this, you where not going to be living in a dumb, so, when they both had fallen asleep you decided you had free time to clean.
"Are ya kiddin' me?" You heard Murphy's voice with a bit of a laugh after a while.
"Your place is a mess and I an obviously gonna have to stay here so, no, I am not kidding." You say with a couple full garbage bags and only half way done.
"How did you sleep?" You asked, giving him a quick enough glance to catch him smirking slightly.
"Good I guess..." He says.
"How was your cleaning so far?" He asked sarcastically.
"Brilliant." You say just as sarcastically and give him a small smirk before continuing to clean.
You could feel eyes on you when your back was turned, you kept catching him looking at you through the corner of your eye and you couldn't help but smile to yourself mentally.
Connor woke up a while after, you where currently done picking up trash and had moved on to scrubbing the place down.
"Are ya kiddin'?" You heard Connor say in a slight whisper to his brother.
You could hear them both sigh ever so slightly.
You where a very clean person, it bothered you when you where in a dump.
"Y/n come sit down for a bit will ya?" You heard Connor.
"Nope" You say. It wasn't up for debate, they knew this, they once tried to convince you for over an hour, it didn't work though.
You finished cleaning about another hour later, damn did the place look good......well at least way better than it ever had.
In order for you to make it look really good you would have to paint the whole place, put newer flooring in, replace the toilet and shower and their beds and blankets etc.
"anndddd" You say more to yourself. "Done" You finish scrubbing the last stain off the wall.
"Will ya sit now?" Connor proceeded to ask and you gave a small sigh.
"Alright but only for a minute, you guys need medicine and water." You tell them sternly.
You sat down in-between the beds and held either ones hands they had slumped off the bed for you, both of them on their sides to face you.
"Thank you, really y/n." Murphy said and you smile at him.
You sat and talked with them for a minute before getting up and helping them sit up.
You came back moments later with honey and water.
"Drink and eat this stuff, and I am making you guys tea that'll help." You say.
"I don't actually think I have ever fuckin' had tea..." Connor says thoughtfully
"You'll hate the kind I am making, but I can put some whisky in it if you'd prefer." You say and Connor nodded and took the stuff you gave them without a single face, though, Murphy made up for his.
"Do we really gotta take this shit again?" Murphy complained slightly.
"Do you wanna feel better?" You asked innocently and he kind of nodded instinctually.
"Then yes, you will be taking whatever I feel is necessary for your unhygienic ass." You say in the same innocent tone and give him a quick kiss on his forehead with a sweet smile. You left for the kitchen, Murphy, without another word, swallowed both the things, feeling slightly uncomfortable by the innocence in your voice with the words you decided to use.
You came back moments later with two mugs, handing one to both of them.
"Here, and you are gonna wanna drink all of it." You tell them and they blow on it before taking a couple sips.
"It tastes like fuckin' cow shit!" Connor muttered in distaste.
"Yeah, but, it'll help you guys get better sooner." You tell them.
Murphy learned his lesson and quickly chugged the whole thing.
"Now, once you guys have finished, get some more rest." You tell them and they nod slightly, Murphy wincing in pain slightly.
"Headache?" You asked and he whispered yes.
"I'll be right back" You say and, sure enough, about a minute later you where back with a rice bag, carefully setting it on his head, he breathed in a sigh of relief, it felt really good.
Once again, the boys where soon asleep.
This time they slept for the rest of the day, occasionally waking up groggily, talking with you for a minute before falling back to sleep from their half daze.
You fell asleep on the floor, completely warn out.
You woke up from Connor tossing and turning. You shot up which was a very big mistake on your part, from sleeping on the hard wood floor, your body ached everywhere, letting out a small groan of pain, closing your eyes tightly for a second before getting up and going to the kitchen to start another cup of tea for him, also making enough incase Murphy woke up.
Though, he didn't.
You walked into view of him lazily spread out on in bed, his eyes half open.
"Aye, how did'ya sleep?" He asked in his normal frisky morning voice that made your stomach jump.
God you couldn't take them talking when they just woke up.
"Pretty good, you?" You asked, walking over and handing him the mug.
He gave a small sigh, knowing you where gonna make him take the whole thing.
"Well I guess." He says, taking a couple sips and scrunching his face like a five year old.
"Are you feeling better?" You questioned.
"Yeah, don't have a sore throat as badly and don't feel as uncomfortable." He said as cheerful as he could be about this.
"Thanks again for this." He tells you and you give him a one armed hug which he returned.
You guys talked quietly until Murphy woke up, he said he didn't have a headache but he still had a small sore throat still, still kind of felt crappy but he was doing better than Connor.
You took care of them the rest of the day, talking with them or making them shush when they where awake, depending on how they where and how long they had been talking/awake.
After a couple more days (One or two) Murphy was able to walk around, still having a stuffy nose though, but he was able to help you out some.
Connor was feeling better and was able to walk around, though he laid down for most of the time, still not feeling as well.
Another couple days passed and they were totally back to their fine self's.
"Okay boys." You say as you all sit around their table.
"I have seen your guy's wardrobes and fridge, and you are coming with me to run errands." You say more as a statement. You knew they were fully better now so there was no getting out of it.
"Tha fucks wrong with our war'drobe?" Connor questioned defensively.
"Yeah, was wrong with 'em?" Murphy added.
"It is almost none existent, and your fridge is filled with old left over's and just beer and shit." You tell them.
"So, get showers and change into some nicer cloths and I'll be back here in about fifteen minutes.
You say, getting up.
You weren't letting them have a choice on this one; they needed more cloths, and definitely more food.
You drove back to your house and got a quick shower and changed your cloths and headed back, Connor was putting on his boots and Murphy was slipping on a shirt, both their hair's still wet from their showers.
"aye." Connor greets, finishing his last boot and walking over to you.
"Hey, you guys almost ready to go?" You question and Murphy nods.
"Almost, just need to get'my shoes on."
Murphy put on his boots and you all headed out, Murphy got in the back of the car and Connor was in front with you.
First you where taking them cloths shopping.
You guys talked the whole way there, soon arriving at a men's clothing shop, you pulled into the parking lot and you all got out,
You had them get different shirts and some more jeans, socks, shoes, etc. the cost was pricey, but damn did they need it.
"How about this?" You asked, holding up a dark red shirt up to Connor and he stared in almost horror.
Once you guys where done, the cloths consisted of, black, gray, dark grey and you managed to get a white shirt for each them. Light blue jeans and a dark pair of jeans for both of them as well. You didn't find a nicer version of their coat, though, you really couldn't complain, you fucking loved their coats.
You guys headed for the food shopping after you guys had some lunch.
When you guys got to the food isles, they got strange glances as they picked up different foods, almost jumping back at some of the prices, following out around like lost puppies, fucking around with shit every now and then, really just being weirdos.
You got out of there as quickly as you could before they got themselves kicked out.
You headed back to their apartment and dropped the things in the fridge and their closets.
It was about six when you guys finally got home, instantly you guys grabbed a drink, pretty soon all of you where lightly buzzed, that turned into being drunk soon after,
It wasn't a shit faced drunk, just drunk (A/N ya know what I mean? XD)
You guys fucked with the things in the room, pushing the beds and chairs together and running around it, it was almost like another floor.
Soon afterward, Connor had passed out after slamming himself onto his bed.
You and Murphy soon laid next to him and talked quietly, laughing at each other's dumb jokes.
"Okay so can I tell you something?" you asked your laughing settling down.
"Hm?" he said, letting you know he was listening.
"I actually liked ya guys ever since I met ya." You said, laughing slightly for no reason.
Murphy gave a proud childish smirk.
"Well ya'd be funny ta know that I do, and I believe that Connor too, fell the same way" He said and then his facial expression turned to thinking about something really hard.
"I don't think funny was supposed to be in there." He said after a moment of hard thinking which made you laugh so much you literally snorted which made him laugh harder.
"I love you ya idiot" You say, slapping his chest playfully.
"I love ya too." He said, giving you a content smile.
"W-would it be wrong if I were to kiss you?" You asked, thinking about it out loud.
"He wouldn't know." He said and laid his lips on yours,
You could taste the beer on his lips; the taste of cigarette was mixed with it as well.
You pulled away after a second with a small smirk dancing on your lips. "Wanted to do that for a while." You say.
Your eyes widened slightly.
You and Murphy had had a couple more drinks after Connor had fallen asleep....
"I wanna try it on Connor to." You say, your voice had amazement evident in it.
Murphy laughed. As you turned and shook Connor awake.
"Murph stop" he muttered,
"No no no no no its y/n....and I guess Murphy too." You say.
"Connor turn over." You say and he subconsciously turns over, exhausted and feeling very worn out.
"Wha-"His sentence was cut off by you smashing your lips to his, when Murphy saw this, he burst out laughing harshly into his pillow.
If you had your right mind, you, one, wouldn't have ever woke him up, two, you wouldn't have ever kissed either of them, even if you wanted to.
Why Murphy found this funny? Neither of you knew, but it was as if you had just told the best goddamn joke in the world.
You departed your lips from his, his eyes where wide and he was more than awake.
"tha fuck was that?" He asked, fairly startled.
"I am testing." You say, your tone had proud written all over it, as if you had cured cancer.
"W-what are ya testin' lass?" he asked the startlment not going away.
Murphy, for some reason, was still laughing.
"Everything. I haven't had the nerve to kiss either of you but now I've done both. Goodnight" You say, kissing his lips again.
Connor kind of just laid back down facing you; he didn't attempt to go back asleep yet though.
You turned your head and tapped Murphy on his back and got his attention and kissed him again when he looked up, though, being just as drunk and weird as you, he kissed you back.
"the fuck is happening??" Connor muttered to himself. He decided to attempt to get up but you stopped kissing Murphy and held Connor loosely down.
"no no no no no! don't leave us! Well be quiet and settle down I promise." You say like a sad puppy.
"How many drinks did ya two have?" He questioned, turning to the two of you.
"Urrrrrrrrrr----not much...." You say, trying to think.
He laid back down and just kind of sighed.
"just....if ya guys wanna keep doin' that or somethin' tell me and I'll leave." He said, really too tired to think straight at the moment.
"okay okay okay." You say and put your finger on your lips, making a harsh "shhhhhh" Before you started laughing, Murphy joining in, laying his forehead on your stomach.
"ya guys are insane" Connor muttered to himself with a small laugh.
You guys settled down as promised. The boys faced you, you laid on your stomach, your arms subconsciously thrown over their necks, Murphy laid his hand on your lower back, Connor subconsciously putting his arm around your back when he fell asleep.
You woke up with a splitting headache, remembering faintly about last night....though; it was enough to make your stomach cave in...you hoped to god that neither of them remembered.
You opened your eyes to see Murphy's still sleeping face, turning your head the other way, you saw Connor still asleep also.
You laid there for a while longer before Connor moved to his side, his arm leaving your body which seemed to make Murphy wake up.
"Aye" He muttered softly under his breath as he opened his eyes to see you.
"Hey....about last night.....really sorry..." You say, worried that they would remember, and it they did...how would it affect your guy's friendship????
"It's alright, I meant what I said and I assume you did too?" He said and you nodded. A wave of relief drifting over you.
"Urr- what do you think Connor is gonna say........?" You asked hesitantly and he thought about it for a moment.
"I think he'll be fine, can I let ya in on a little secret?" He said and you nodded
He moved his lips over yours and softly kissed you before whispering in your ear, "We told each other we had liked ya before." He said and you couldn't help but smile.
"That's nice to know cause uh-"You finished your sentence in his ear, "I like ya both also" and kissed his lips for a second.
You and he talked about the events of last night, Connor waking up a bit later.
Murphy left to let you talk with Connor in private after you and Murphy had talked about it.
You walked into the kitchen, a rice bag on your head from your hang over.
You saw Connor was in there and you took a seat across from him.
"Uh-I just wanted to say that I'm really sorry about last night." You say honestly.
"It's alright, you where drunk." He said, giving you a small smile.
"Yeah uh- about that.....see I really do like you and Murphy like that...I just shouldn't have well.....woken you up and uh---done that" You say slightly awkwardly.
"It's alright" he says, a smirky smile on his face.
"W-what?" you asked.
"I talked with Murph about feelings we had for ya but neither of us made a move, and, in one night, you made a move on both of us." He says with a small laugh.
"Ur- I just wanna say that it went no farther than kissing" You state quickly and which made him laugh.
"I'dda known if it had but thanks for tha clarification." He says, standing up and walking over to you.
You put the rice bag on the table and watched him.
As soon as he got to you he kneeled on his knees and kissed you softly on the lips.
You guys kissed for a moment before you broke away.
"I think we need to talk with Murphy about this." You say and he agreed.
Once Murphy got back from whatever he was doing, you had him sit down with you guys at the kitchen table.
"i-I don't really know how to put this so I am just gonna say it bluntly." You warn.
"So you both have exclaimed you like me, and I like both of you and uh-I couldn't pick just one or the other so uh...what would you guys think of maybe-uh—" You stopped, trying to think of the word but they knew what you were going with this.
"I'm okay with it but I ain't touchin' him" Murphy said, glancing at Connor with a grin.
"I agree with Murph." Connor said and excitement lit your eyes.
"Okay!" You say, not being able to believe that this was really happening.
"so uh- what do we do from here?" You asked with a huge headache still.
"Well, you two are resting and drinking water while I take care of you; go on, go lay down." Connor says, ushering both of you to lay down.
He came over to you guys, handing each of you a glass full of water.
You and Murphy drank it all, thanking him for it and laying under the covers as you talked with them like you always did.
Weeks went by and, nothing had changed other then they would occasionally slap your ass, hold you by the waist or kiss you, also you would take turns sleeping at one another's apartments, also taking showers in front of each other, though, that shit wasn't knew for Connor or Murphy, it was natural since the place they lived in.
You guys had a couple drinks before lying down in the beds that where pushed together.
You always slept in the middle of the two.
You guys talked quietly.
Connor had fallen asleep and the conversation was with you and Murphy only now.
You back was pressed to Connors bare chest, your body was turned to talk with Murphy and you traced random patterns on his chest calmly.
He leaned in and gave you a soft kiss before you two settled down for sleep.
You woke up once again between the two.
You guys where closer as friends ever since you had gotten together with them, it was nice.
Weeks went on and it only kept getting better.
You enjoyed the little moments with both of them or when you and one of them where alone or the other was asleep.
You woke up in your normal sleeping position, between the boys.
You took a deep breath and closed your eyes tighter for a second before reopening them. You saw that Connor was already awake,
"Hey" You say smiling at him a little. You where still tired so it was tiny.
"Hey, how'd ya sleep?" He asked you, putting a hand on your shoulder loosely,
"Pretty good, what about you?" You questioned.
"Pretty good." He tells you. "Do ya wanna get up?" He added as an afterthought and you agreed and walked over to the kitchen and started coffee for the two of you, making enough for Murphy if he woke up soon.
You sat on the floor with him as you guys waited for the coffee to be ready.
"So what do you wanna do today? We haven't been out of this apartment if weeks." You say and he thinks for a moment before saying, "I'm not sure."
"When Murphy wakes up do you just wanna walk around town?" You asked, not being able to come up with anything else.
"Yeah, alright" He says in agreement and kisses you softly before walking to the coffee pot and pouring both of you some and sitting back down on the floor in the corner with you.
You guys clanked your mugs together quietly and tried not to laugh at your failed attempt of not being loud.
Murphy woke up about fifteen minutes later to see you to talking about something in the corner.
You where the first to noticed him sit up and yawn you smiled at him.
"Hey come join us! The coffee is still hot if ya need some!" You greet and he smiles a little and walks over to you, grabbing a shirt on his way over and slipping it on and pouring himself some and sit down with you guys.
You two asked if he wanted to come on the walk and of course, he said yeah.
You all got your shoes on and headed out and about the streets.
You all stopped at different shops just to look at the things in it.
It was about six when you all started back and got to the apartment about half an hour later, their arms where wrapped around your waist and yours where around their shoulders as you guys walked in, instantly dropped onto the bed for sleep.
You all talked for a minute while getting shoes and such off before you all fell asleep fairly soon.
Damn you never wanted this to end.
