Moths to a Flame

Since being back in Feldcroft I had to make myself useful so I worked out in the garden. It's kept my mind off the swirling thoughts of Aria. The garden is going well so far but clearing it out is a nightmare. The weeds are so over grown and thick it's making it difficult to take out. Plus a tribe of gnomes moved in and now I have to degnome once a day. It took two days to clean it out and I didn't want to use magic. That evening Ominis had food ready and I sat there when an owl came swooping in and dropped a letter.

"Is that an owl I heard" Ominis said.

"It 'twas. Oh it's from Aria!" I say excitedly.

"It's to both of us" then I read it out loud for him to hear.

"I can't believe she would think we could hate her because of this" Ominis says.

"I agree" I say. I couldn't help but smile at her words while it came with no answers yet, its progress.

"You know Sebastian I've been thinking about something" Ominis says.

"And what's that?" I ask.

"Are you familiar with the term ménage à trois" he says.

"Vaguely, why" I ask.

"Well it loosely means house of three or in laymen's terms threesome, what if Aria didn't have to decide between us, what if she dated the both of us?" He says.

Never thought of it like that. It could be a weight taken off her back if she didn't have to choose then no one gets hurt and we both get to have her? There could be benefits to this.

"Ominis where did this come from?" I ask.

"It's an old French term, when a man would have his wife then a mistress, but it could have many different meanings as well" he explains.

"You could be on to something here, we'll have to get her approval first before anything is set. We can invite her over sometime and bring it up with her see what she thinks" I suggest.

"Really you don't hate this idea?" Ominis asks.

"No, actually. While the idea of sharing her with you doesn't thrill me, no offense, but I know you and we're best friends so I don't want to stand in your way either I want you to be happy, just like me" I tell him.

"I was actually hesitant suggest this because I thought you would go into a fit of jealous rage but, I'm glad you don't hate it. And like you said we have to talk to her about this arrangement" Ominis says.

Ominis pov

It's been days since our discussion, and he's written her back about setting up a time and day for her to come over. There really hasn't been much of and exchange between all of us. Honestly Sebastian and I have gotten along better ever since that talk, and suggestion of the both of us dating her. He's been over all in a better mood. The days before were tense and awkward. I was shocked he still allowed me to come live with him. But I suppose we are best friends no matter what. When her owl returned shortly after she has suggested the last day of the month and spend the weekend then we all can go and get supplies from Hogsmead and possibly some butterbeers which sounds great to me. Sebastian agreed and told her just that, and we haven't heard from her since then.

As the days went by, us waiting for her to come visit. We had discussed this idea of ours a lot and the more we do the more we think it could work. Sebastian's been out in the garden most days tending to a garden so we have fresh foods and even some flowers. Most days I would walk around the hamlet collecting other goods we would need. I enjoyed the walks it gives me time to think without interruptions. I even took trips up to Hogsmead to peruse Tomes and Scroll if there's any new books. Then I visited Sirona in the Three Broomsticks and brought back butterbeers for us.
