What. Is. Happening. Right. Now.

"Hachi."

"Hikio!"

My hands are tied, and I'm being pinned down. Two female figures are looming over me, and I recognise both of them too well, even in the dim light of the room we are inside of. Why... why didn't I realize this sooner...

"You must make a decision, Hachi." One of the voices says, and I feel a soft finger caressing my cheek.

"For once I agree with her. You'll choose me, right, Hikio?" The other voice says, while her finger moves in circles on my chest.

"Don't be absurd. He'll obviously choose me. I'm the best choice for him, after all." The finger on my cheek ceases its movements, and its owner turns to face towards the other girl.

"Huh?! And what makes you think that?" The finger on my chest stops, and the girls are now facing each other.

"Umm... G-girls..?" I manage to weakly say, and both of them turn to look at me, their beautiful faces causing a shiver to go down my spine. Their... their eyes... Here I thought I was the one who was said to have dead eyes...

"Could you please be quiet for a moment, Hachi?" A cold voice sends a shiver down my spine.

"Yeah, me and her need to settle this matter first, Hikio." The words come out of her mouth laden with venom, and I find myself swallowing.

"Oh, there's no need to settle anything. Hachi already said he loves me."

"Huh? He told me the same thing, idiot! We were both there!"

"Y-you two..." Both of them place a finger on my mouth to silence me, and shortly afterwards both of their fingers curl inwards, seemingly attempting to find their way inside my mouth.

"Hmmm... I believe that in a situation like this, there's only one compromise we can reach."

"Wait, you're not talking about that, are you?"

"Well, it all depends on Hachi. Can you make a decision between the two of us?" One of the fingers stops its assault of my mouth, and I can see the girl it belongs to gently lick her finger, as if testing the taste of my lips from it.

"Yeah, tell us now!" The second finger leaves, and the girl lifts it up to suck on it like a lollipop.

"I... I can't... really..." I try to avert my gaze from the girls, but something is preventing me from doing so. So even when I'm deathly afraid of them, I still can't look away from their beauty...

"Then there really is only one choice, Hachi." One of the figures leans closer to me.

"It wasn't like, my number one choice, but it's probably the best – and only – one right now, Hikio." The second figure followed suit, the both of them coming so close to me I could feel their hot breaths on my face.

"Neither of us want to give you up for anyone else..."

"...So we'll just have to share you between the two of us!"

As I felt two pairs of lips pressing against my own, I only had one thought in my head.

How the hell did it come to this?!

Love.

Poets would call it the most powerful force in the universe, chocolate companies would call it the driving force behind their increase in sales around February, single women past the age of thirty would call it nothing but a myth, and biologists would call it a chemical reaction in the brains of humans that compels us to ensure the survival of the human race.
