Nothing happened.

"You're shitting me. There's no way nothing happened." Ian said brightly. He smile spreading idly over his face.

"Seriously. One thing we did do is cuddle, which was weird for the both of us but other than that, nothing." Xander said, he tried to keep his body reserved and his face impassive because he didn't want Ian to push more. He wasn't very good at keeping secrets, especially not from Ian. But he had promised Xavier.

"I owe Aaron a 100 dollars," Ian cried shamelessly.

"I thought it was 30 dollars? When did 30 go to a hundred?" Xander asked confused.

"We bet again, I insisted you guys would sleep together. But since you're telling you guys didn't, I lost. Fuck. I need to stop talking too much." Ian said face palming himself. His big mouth was going to get him in trouble one of this days.

"Aaron said he was coming later today, he said he wanted to tell us something." Ian confessed as soon as they got comfortable on the couch.

"You think he'll accept us?" Xander asked.

"Possibly, he has been spending too much time with us. Maybe he likes us now." The male had been spending so much time with them, that it had gotten weird. Aaron had practically moved into their apartment. Which they didn't despise but all they wanted was to know if that very relationship was going anywhere. They didn't wanted to be lead on for nothing.

Ian let out a sigh staring into Xander's eyes. "Maybe. If not, we'll ask him. If he wants to keep it platonic or be ours." He said pulling Xander for a much needed kiss. He didn't even remember the last time him and Xander had sex. He missed him. Ian's smile fell and Xander noticed immediately. He wasn't one to cause unnecessary tension but he needed the affirmation. Polygamous relationships didn't last due to others falling out of love with one of their partners.

"I haven't fallen out of love with you. I love you  both so much and I won't make the other feel left out." Xander said calmly placing a kiss on Ian's forehead who squirmed under him.

"Oh?" Ian said.

" your face betrays so much my love. I know how to read you." Xander said letting out a chuckle.

Aaron did come that very night. They got settled in and watched a movie. While Ian snuggled on Xander's side. Aaron had his head laid on Ian's lap with his fingers brushing over his arm. His face and neck. Each sent a spark through his body sending shivers down his spine. He didn't know how to start such. He wanted them. That was obvious but the problem now was telling them he wanted them. Although Aaron was always so giddy and acted funny around certain people he was one shy man.

He could talk about his feelings to people he cared about but so god help him, confessions shook his nerves to the core. He had hoped and prayed the couple would ask on their own accord. But they hadn't since he had gotten there. It was freaking him out. He needed a lead or something, something to grasp on so he could say how he felt. He wanted to fucking internally scream.

But he loved those people, what was so hard about saying it? Blurting it out felt like the best aspect. But the TV was so loud though. He didn't want to repeat himself. So he stood, switched off the TV screen and had a fucking stare down with the couple.

"I like you guys too." Aaron blurted out. His fists clenching on each of his sides.

The couple was taken aback by the whole confession. They let it sink in. They hadn't expected this. They had thought they'd have to speak to him about it but he sure beat them to it. Ian lunged at Aaron giving him a hug before jumping on him and hooking his legs behind the man's back. Aaron's hands landing around his small plump ass as he squeezed. Fuck. Between the both of them Ian had the most sexiest ass and Aaron liked groping it.
