Chapter Text
Each of us sat at the table with our hands folded in front of us. We were in the breakroom at the base, but it was empty save for me and my partners.
"What's wrong, Simon?" Jonny asked for the both of us.
He sighed before he responded, "I asked to speak with you two because our relationship is built on trust and you both know that I would do nothing short of enduring a North Korean prison for a fucking year to save either of you."
We both nodded silently, encouraging him to continue.
"I have known this for about a week, but I didn't tell you because I didn't want either of you to be disappointed in me or hurt. Just know I haven't acted on it."
"It's alright, darling," I said as I reached out and placed a hand over his folded ones, "I don't see how either of us could ever be disappointed in you. We love you."
"I love both of you too." He swallowed. "We are in a happy, closed relationship, and nothing has brought me more joy than the two of you. But..."
I resisted my urge to glance at Johnny. A "but" after that sentence could only mean heartbreak for us.
"I have realized that I have come to care about another person as well."
My heart paused in my chest, but instead, I said, "I understand. Thank you for telling us. Do you mind telling us who it is?"
"...König."
Johnny and I both slumped in our chairs with twin sighs of relief. "Thank fucking god," he chuckled.
Simon's brow was furrowed, "Pardon?"
"We feel the same way," I clarified, "Johnny and I have been ogling that ass for months now. Welcome on board. I think he's the cutest, sweetest fucking thing I've ever set eyes on."
"Second that," Johnny agreed.
"Oh thank fuck," Simon groaned as he slumped back in his seat and ran a hand down his mask.
"Now that is out in the open, how do we plan on proceeding? Do we want to pursue a relationship with him as a group or just sex?" I asked.
"Relationship," they both answered.
"Excellent. I concur." I nodded. "So how do we go about pursuing him? We must make it clear that it's all or nothing with us. And we must also ensure that our intentions are known. I won't have any of that bullshit you two put on me about confusing him about what you're after. Do not avoid the fact that we all are romantically interested as a group as well as individually."
"But we don't want to overwhelm him. We also don't want to make it appear that we're going behind each others' backs," Johnny added.
Simon rubbed his chest in thought. "Maybe we should approach him in pairs? And then sneak a bit of one on one time."
We all shared grins. "I think this is going to end incredibly well!"
