Pretty bi for a fly guy (polythreat)

After Charles and Henry had started dating a few months ago, Life had been Pretty much all sunshine and rainbow lollipops.

The two spent time together whenever they could, going on dates, being super flirty on missions, or even just hanging out in each other's rooms, cuddling and kissing.

So much about Henry was magical. His sweet smile, his piercing diamond eyes, the way he would always hold Charles's hand when he got nervous, and his knack for thinking up crazy plans that somehow always worked out were all things he absolutely adored about the man.

Charles knew they'd always be together. It was true love.

But then the new girl came around.

A few days after Henry had disappeared, worrying Charles to death, he had managed to call him while he was flying, asking if he could rescue him from the Serbian snow, to which Charles obviously agreed.

After landing and picking Henry up (and some reunion hugs and kisses), Charles noticed Henry had someone else with him. A girl about 6 inches shorter than the both of them, with shiny red hair.

She said her name was Ellie Rose, and Henry had explained how she and him had worked together to flee the complex, and how they were basically like siblings now.

So Charles had accepted her as a new friend(secretly relieved he didn't have any competition for Henry's heart) and welcomed her into their little group with open arms.

The three of them had then all worked together as a trio to take out the remaining members of the toppat clan, and all of them were promoted to special covert ops agents(despite Henry and Ellie not being enlisted) meaning they'd be going on a lot more missions together.

The three called themselves the triple threat, and they knew that nothing could stand in their way. When they all worked together, they were unstoppable!

But then, a few weeks after the mission was completed, Charles started noticing something... strange.

Ellie was... really cute...

Her gleaming hair, her enchanting ruby eyes, her mischievous yet adorable smile, her contagious laughter, how she, much like Henry, always knew what to do in every given situation, but most especially her strength and assertiveness. He's always had a thing for girls who could beat him in a fight.

She was gorgeous. A goddess among women.

It was then that Charles had the shocking realization.

He'd fallen in love with her.

But... wait, no, he can't fall in love, he already has henry! What would he say about this?! No, no, he isn't IN love with her. He just likes her as a friend, right? ...right...?

Charles had lied awake in bed, contemplating this. Okay yea, he definitely liked her more than a friend, but he was already dating Henry, and he loved him too much to just leave him for the new chick... but, what if he'd met Ellie first and gotten together with her, and then met Henry and fallen for him? would the same be true...?

Ugh, his brain hurt.

After much contemplation, he decided that spending some time with her as just friends wouldn't hurt anything, right? Yea, that'd be fine.

They'd just be good friends, and Charles wouldn't be unfaithful in the slightest. 'Everyone wins.' he thinks before lying down and going to sleep.

~the next day~

Charles had finished his work for the day, and noticed that the sun had set, and the stars were starting to come out.

This would be the perfect time to ask her to hang out.
