A Different Kind Of Love Triangle

Chapter 22: Let's Talk About This.

*Slurp*

(Nathan slurped the noodles in front of him.
There they were, Sitting at the dining table, silently and awkwardly eating their instant cup noodles.
How did this happen, you wonder? Well..
He might have tried to use the dinner as an excuse to get out of THAT situation.
The first thing he blurted out was "Can we eat dinner? I'm hungry".
But he didn't realize how awkward it would be..)

Nathan: This is really good! N you outdid yourself.
(Aiden and N share a concerned look)
Oh right-
(His eyes fall into his bowl in embarrassment, he continues to eat in silence.)

(N nudges Aiden. "What?" Aiden asks silently, raising his eyebrows. "Talk to him!" N replies with his eyes, nodding and pointing his eyebrows at Nathan. "Right now? Are you sure?" He questioned silently. "Yes!" N replied, nodding his head with eyebrows furrowed. Aiden sighed)

Aiden: So… Nathan. (Nathan looks at him immediately)
Uhh- How was your day?

Nathan: It was good- yeah.
(His eyes go back down)

Aiden: Great..
(N facepalms)

N: Nathan we know. (He blurted out)

Nathan: -Know what? (He asked wide eyed, brows slanted with confusion)

N: That.. you kinda banged both of us..

Nathan: Oh- (Nathan takes a deep breath)
I'm so sorry! I didn't want to actually but it kinda happened and I couldn't stop! It was very in the moment kind of.. moment.. BUT! I didn't mean to break like your heart or anything, that's why I couldn't tell you! And I'm not a fuckboy I swear! I didn't want to like take advantage of you guys I promise, I-
(Aiden and N were listening to him in a confused glass eyed state, but Aiden finally interrupted him)

Aiden: Woah! calm down-

N: Yeah, We are not angry.

Nathan: Wait.. you're not?

N: No! Well, maybe a little disappointed.. But I totally get you..
(Nathan takes a breath of relief)
But if we want to be truthful here..
(He looks Nathan expectantly)

Nathan: Why.. are you looking at me like that? Do I have something on my chin?

N: You wanna take this one big bud?
(Aiden sighs)

Aiden: Nathan.. We also know- well we THINK. But it seems like a very trustworthy conclusion-
I'm acting weird aren't I? (They both nod)
We know that you love both of us. (Nathan chokes up but quickly gulps down some water)

Nathan: WHAT-!? Noooo~ That's like CRAZY!
Why would you EVEN think that?
(He plasters an awkward smile)

N: Oh boy, were you always this bad at lying?
(Nathan mentally slaps himself)

Nathan: Okay fine fine- Yes. I do love both of you.
Hope you don't find it weird.

N: Nothing weird about it, there are a lot of people who are po..- polymerous? How do you pronounce it again?

Aiden: Polymer?

N: Not that Aiden.

Nathan: Polyamorous.

N: Yes! Thank you.

Nathan: So yeah.. I know both of you said that you wanted to continue this.. but I just Cannot choose.

Aiden: Well we have good news for you then!
...We also like each other-
(He announced directly)

Nathan: Whut-

Aiden: Yeah.. We are all polymer- polimeres?

Nathan: It's Polyamorous-

You guys aren't pranking me right?
Like "Oh, Nathan fucked us both so let's fuck with him" right?
