Love in the Time of Beans (Among Us Logic)

Three-Bean Salad (Player x Veteran x Captain)

Full disclosure: I've never written for an OT3 before. So forgive me if it's shitty. Also the ending is really cheesy, but whatever.

Silverbells were one of the few flowering plants to survive in Polus's unforgiving climate, able to withstand both the eternal winter and the intense heat reaching up from its core. Though the plant's flowers were toxic if ingested, the rest of the plant was completely safe to handle. Besides, Captain intended for Dum to admire the flowers, not eat them. He chose a few broad, healthy shoots and plucked them from the bush, arranging them into a small bouquet.

"She'll like them a lot!" he told himself as he pranced off to go look for her. "Girls love flowers." And if she didn't like them, maybe he could try serenading her with a song he made up on the spot. That had to work, right? Mother liked his little ditties. But then again, he wasn't dating her, he was dating his bestie's sister.

Captain saw a flash of pink fur out of the corner of his eye. Grinning, he ducked behind a stack of metal crates for a surprise. He peered out, and--

Dropped the flowers in shock. Dum and Bro held paws as they looked up into the starry sky. Bro pointed at one of Polus's four moons, whispered something to Dum, and the two giggled. To make the killing blow, they leaned in and kissed.

Captain slumped to the ground in disbelief. How could Dum do that to him? She had told him, her own words straight out of her mouth, that'd she'd love him forever. So what was this BS? There was no mistaking it, even with someone as easily confused as Captain -- that was a romantic kiss. He'd been cheated on.

Abandoning the Silverbells, Captain tore off towards the boiler room, where he knew Player was. He'd last seen the red Bean going in there. Unless the Impostor had showed up and killed him since then. Luckily, he was still there, struggling to twist the rusty valve on the waterways.

"Player! Bestie!" he cried. It wasn't until he said it that he realized he was on the verge of messy, decidedly unmanly tears.

"Captain? What's wrong?" Player turned towards him. "You sound really upset."

"You won't believe what I just saw. You know Dum, right?"

"Of course I know Dum. She's my sister!" Player scoffed slightly at his friend's stupid question.

Captain could feel the tears coming on fast. "She's also a CHEATER!"

"...Cheater? Did you see her using a bot or something?"

"No! The other kind of cheater!"

It took a second for it to click with Player, but then he got it. His eye widened.

"I just saw her holding paws and kissing Bro," Captain went on. "I can't believe she would do that! Am I not good enough for her anymore? Is that it?"

"Okay, okay. First, I need you to calm down." Player put his paws on Captain's shoulders. The white bean sniffled and wiped his eye.

"She doesn't love me anymore," he whimpered.

"We don't know why she cheated. Sometimes, people are just shitty like that. Maybe she'll realize what she did was wrong, and she'll apologize. But you don't have to take her back if she does."

"I don't?"

"You don't deserve to get cheated on. No-one has to stay with someone who will do that to them. You're worth more than that."

"Gee, Player." Captain sniffled again. "Why are you being so nice to me? I thought you didn't like me."

The red Bean bit his lip. "Well, Cap...I realize I haven't been the best to you lately. Especially before I got sent to the cheater's lobby, and when I came back, and that whole zombie apocalypse thing didn't really help."
