    It wasn't [y/n]'s fault that he was in love with two entirely different women. It also wasn't his fault that they were both enticing, alluring, and absolutely fascinating. 

     And attractive. He couldn't forget the attractive part. 

     Sighing, he laced his fingers behind his neck and leaned backwards in his chair to stare up at the ceiling. Not a moment had passed, though, when a familiar voice drifted towards him from the door. 

      "Why are you staring at the ceiling?" 

      [y/n]'s smile grew. Luka. Of course. It was always like her to be blunt and to the point- there was no beating around the bush when it came to the pink haired woman. 

      "Maybe the ceiling is interesting," he said conversationally, still not looking towards where he knew that the beautiful woman must be standing. 

        She snorted. "I highly doubt that." [y/n]'s lips twitched in amusement, but he said nothing. In truth he was touched that Luka came to him like this, opened up to him like she rarely did with anyone else. Luka didn't trust many people, but he seemed to be one of the few that she'd placed her faith in. It was a delicate faith, for sure, and [y/n] treasured it- it was like a glass sculpture, beautiful and refined but so easily shattered. He never wanted to shatter Luka's trust; [y/n] couldn't help but love the woman, however unapproachable she might seem. He would have made a move long ago had it not been for the other girl that lay claim to his heart. 

        "Hey, [y/n]," came another cheery voice from his door. "How're you doing? And you, Luka?" 

        And then there was Gumi. "I'm good," he replied, stretching. "A little tired, but aren't we all?" [y/n] heard Luka's soft chuckle, and then Gumi's lighter, slightly higher pitched laugh. The green haired girl was sweet, almost unbelievably so, but she also had a wild sense of humor that- more often than not- appealed to [y/n]. Given the circumstances it was no surprise that he'd fallen for her as well. She didn't hold that air of mystique or secrecy that Luka seemed to constantly give off, but she did radiate an aura of sweetness and naïveté that he loved. 

         He couldn't help but love them both; and he didn't want to destroy the trust that either had in him. Oh, why couldn't this world just be the tiniest bit easier to handle? 

         Silence prevailed for a moment, but it seemed awkward. Almost as though Luka and Gumi were both waiting for something to happen. Nobody moved more than a few shifted inches until at last [y/n] broke the tense silence. 

        "I have-"

        "I need to-"

       Both women stopped at the same time, and surprisingly enough both had color on their cheeks. [y/n] felt his heart beginning to pound in his chest. This couldn't be...? They weren't both going to...? 

        Gumi smiled shyly at the older woman. "Please, go first." 

         Luka swallowed, fiddling with her headband. This certainly was strange, considering that she rarely (if ever) seemed flustered. "Well," she muttered, reddening slightly. "I just wanted to confess..." The pink haired woman shuffled her feet, and [y/n]'s eyes widened. "I wanted to confess that I've loved you for quite some time now." Her cheeks were blazing scarlet now, and she could meet [y/n]'s shocked gaze. "I can't help but trust you, can't help but love you even with all of my defenses up. I understand if you don't feel the same, though." 

         Suddenly Gumi piped up, her voice trembling slightly. "I... I actually wanted to confess the same thing," she said quietly, her normally cheerful voice subdued. "I'm sorry Luka. I didn't know that you felt the same about him. But I can't help it, I've loved him since the day that he refused to let me give up on my dream of becoming a recognized scientist and singer." The green haired girl swallowed, staring at the ground. "I'm sorry. I don't want to hurt anybody." 

           [y/n] was flabbergasted. Completely and utterly flabbergasted. Never in a million years had he ever dreamed that something like this would happen, could happen. Two women- the two women that he both loved completely- had just confessed their feelings for him, one right after the other. How found this...? But now he was faced with an even greater problem- a choice. 

          Almost against his will, [y/n] slowly started speaking. "Luka, I love the way you open up to me. I love the way that you trust me when you don't trust anybody else, the way that you come to me for the little things that count." Seeing Gumi's crestfallen face, he continued. "But Gumi, I love your cheerfulness- your bubbly spirit and constant happiness, and even your occasional ditzy moments. I can't choose between either of you, because I love you both too much. I don't want to play games with either of your hearts, or lose either of your trusts. 

       The two women paused for a moment, meeting each other's eyes, before looking to face [y/n]. 

       "That's alright," Gumi explained as she began walking towards him. 

       "If we have to," Luka said, "We can share you." 

        Both of them were standing by [y/n] now. He was standing up, although he couldn't remember having ever actually moved, but it wasn't as if he could truly concentrate right now. Luka was to his left and gumi was to hugs right, end he could feel their warm breath on his cheeks as their soft lips drew ever closer... 

        He jerked awake with a start, eyes wide and adrenaline pumping. What on earth...? What had just happened?! [y/n] looked around at himself, lying on the bed with his givers and sheets tossed and rumpled. Clarity hit in an instant, and [y/n] was overcome first by disappointment and then by relief. Disappointment that no, the two that he loved hadn't actually confessed to him, and relief that he would still have time to choose between the two before the actual moment came to pass. 

      Because, [y/n] thought dryly as he rubbed his eyes, he doubted that real life would present such a simple solution as sharing him. A knock sounded at his door and the male stretched and grinned. 

       Another new day had begun, and friendship and hinted romance dangled just out of reach. So why, [y/n] thought as he reached the door, shouldn't get reach out and take it? (He still wished that his lovely dream had continued into a full on make out session, though) 

       Opening the door to his room, [y/n]'s mouth opened in greeting, only to firm an "o" when he saw that the objects of his affection were both standing outside, looking in turn nervous and annoyed. His cheeks flushed immediately, partly because the male realized that he wasn't even wearing a shirt, but also the male had also guessed the reason of Gumi and Luka's visit. 

        It looked like he wouldn't have so much time to think after all.
