🔞 Sodo x Ghouls - Who?

Dom: Sodo & Swiss
Sub: Rain & Phantom & Sodo

<><><><><><><><><><>

Sodo's mind was swimming as he sat in the grass, staring down at the pond of the ministry. He stared down at the water, finding solace in the way it was so calm, unlike all those emotions inside him. He didn't let it show how he really felt, because he simply wasn't like that. He didn't like the others seeing his more vulnerable side. He had built up that facade that everyone around him knew, and he was going to keep it that way. He let out a heavy sigh, replaying those moments in his mind again. Those moments where all three of them had been so honest with him, more honest than he thought he could ever be.

With Swiss it had been silly and fun as always. A night of drinks got to his head a little too much, Sodo had figured, and before he knew it those two had sat in solitude in Swiss' bed. Swiss' head had rested in the smaller's lap, and the words fell freely. The confession sounded almost like one of their silly jokes, but Sodo had quickly realized that the other had been dead serious when he said he had feelings for the water ghoul.

With Rain, things were maybe even a little awkward. But in a good way, like always with him. The two had sat right here, where Sodo was sitting right now, side by side. They both liked the pond. Rain was happy by the water, and Sodo still had some connection with it from his time as a water ghoul. They were sitting in silence for most of the time that night, each of them just thinking for themselves. Sodo hadn't answered Rain as he confessed his love for him, and now Sodo had to admit that he felt really damn bad.

With Phantom, the fire ghoul could hardly put into words how it had even happened. It had been so quick, so subliminally that Sodo had first thought he had just imagined it. They had been walking down the hallway, carrying supplies for a ritual Papa want to have, when Phantom just blurted those words out. Sodo had seen in his eyes how embarrassing it must've been for Phantom, and he had to admit that it had been a little cute. 

The fire ghoul groaned, in frustration and annoyance. Why on earth would they all love him, and confess to him at nearly the same time? He got up from the ground, stuffed his hands into his pockets and began walking back to the ministry. As he walked along the hallways of the large building, he came closer to the ghoul's quarter, and he could already hear some shouting and swearing. And as he came closer, he could make out Swiss', Rain's and Phantom's voices. He swallowed thickly, dreading what he was about to witness now. 

He paused at the door to the den, and hesitated. He didn't want to see them yelling at each other. And even worse, why did they even do it? Because of him? Because they all wanted to be with him? Dew felt silly just thinking about it. He took a deep breath and 'put on his mask', hiding any of his true feelings and putting on the facade of being the cocky and confident ghoul as always. He wore a smirk as he entered the common room. "What's all the shouting for? You all want to be with me so bad?" he asked, his voice carrying something smug, though it was all just played.

The three other ghouls all paused and turned to look at Sodo. For a couple seconds, there was just tense silence, until Swiss let out a heavy sigh and slumped down on the sofa. "So those two also said they like you? How ironic..." he grumbled, crossing his arms over his chest. Sodo just chuckled with an eye roll. "Come on, not my fault I'm so irresistible." Rain and Phantom exchanged a look and sighed then. There was another moment of silence while they all sat down, and suddenly even the fire ghoul felt almost uncomfortable with everyone's eyes on him. Normally he wouldn't have had cared, but knowing those three ghouls were in love with him, made it so damn hard not to feel... something.

"So who do you choose?" Sodo perked up as he heard Swiss' voice ring through the room, "Huh!? How do you expect me to just... choose?" he paused and bit his lip, looking down at the floor, "you're all my friends, and I like you all a lot... I can't just say who I'm 'choosing'." "But you'll have to..." Rain tried, though he quickly shut up at the glare he received from the smaller ghoul. "I don't want to disappoint you-" he tried, but this time it was Phantom who interrupted him, "You'll disappoint us anyways. Either it's just two of us, or all three." Sodo was almost confused how the words from the young ghoul sounded so rational and grown up. He clenched his jaw and looked to the side, trying to make up his mind.
