Bad's First Scandal

The next morning Bad and Skeppy emerged from their bedroom together.

"Morning." Foolish was in the kitchen, sitting at the table on his phone.

"Hi..." Bad opened the fridge to look for breakfast. Skeppy and him had been up talking all night. They came to the conclusion that Foolish might've came here solely for them. Sooner or later they had to face the offer.

Foolish was one step ahead of them. "I'm leaving in an hour. I've got an earlier flight."

"Oh?" Bad looked back. "why are you leaving so fast?"

"I think we all know..." Foolish stretched. "I'm sorry for being so delusional. I hope I didn't cause any arguments between you two."

"No, of course we haven't argued." Skeppy sat at the table. "Actually...we wanted to talk to you."

"About what?"

Bad looked at Skeppy for reassurance.

"We were wondering what you're looking for...what are your intentions?" Skeppy looked at Bad for reassurance."

Bad started gathering ingredients to make omelettes. "Do you like omelettes?"

"Yes?" Foolish dodged Skeppy's question.

Skeppy didn't drop the topic, they had to address it sooner or later. "If you just want sex, we're not interested...but if you're offering a genuine connection...we might be open-minded."

Foolish could only laugh awkwardly. He hadn't expected to get this far. "Wait...are you saying I have a chance?"

Bad cleared his throat. "To be clear, you have a chance to go on a date with us. You can flirt with us if you keep it clean. But that's all you have consent to do right now."

"A date?" Foolish felt as if he went from slowly inching along to being thrown over the side of a cliff. "Hold on. So you two want to go on a date with me. Like all of us?"

"Yes." Skeppy nodded. "You said you want both, we're a package deal. You can't just favor one of us...and we don't really get this whole...three-way thing so you're going to have to be patient. We don't have as much experience in dating as you "

"I get it. Mariana and Charlie weren't good partners but they had rules, still. And no matter what, I know they loved each other more than they loved me."

Bad cracked eggs into the pan and frowned. "If we try this...that's not the outcome we want. We don't want to leave someone out to cry themselves to sleep at night. Yes, me and Skeppy have a stronger bond. But we don't want you to feel left out. And we expect you would try to keep your affection equal too."

"So...you want me to join you guys romantically, but not sexually?" Foolish was still in denial that they were actually interested.

"Yes, if you want..." Skeppy stood up and walked around the table to help Bad with the cooking. "We're open to seeing how this works out. If you understand that we don't want to engage in anything sexual."

"Right..." Foolish tried to understand. To him, a relationship didn't feel real if it lacked sexual intimacy. But he was willing to try, it seemed to work for them. "So...about the date?"

"I want to go to the aquarium." Skeppy turned and smiled. "And you offered to pay..."

"I feel used." Foolish raised an eyebrow. "What do I get in exchange for treating you two hotties to an aquarium date?"

"Bad'll kiss ya." Skeppy patted his boyfriend on the lower back.

"Hey!" Bad giggled. "I mean– I might, if Skeppy watches."
