      Only one.. But which one won his heart?

(Sveinn's Pov)

      I hid my face in my arms as I was tearing up, thinking about what Ace said. All three of them really did care for me. They saved me... Do I only have to pick one of them..? I knew I had to.. I felt movement and looked up to see Ryoma awake and looking at me with a worried look. Without a word, he reached out and hugged me, gently pullinge close. I gripped his shirt as I started crying. I loved him... I really did... And yet, I was afraid to admit it... Afraid to start over... But now, I felt like I was ready to. I felt him gently run his fingers through my brown locks as I slowly calmed down.
     "Sveinn.." I looked up at him before I felt his lips on mine. I closed my eyes and kissed him back, gripping his shirt as he gently rubbed my back, making me shiver and moan. He slid his tongue across my lip and I responded by opening my lips for him. I felt his tongue against mine and I let out another moan. When he pulled away, I panted softly and looked up at him.
     "R-Ryo...?"
     "I'm sorry Sveinn... I didn't mean to.." He said softly and I shook my head.
     "N-No... I-I liked it..."
     "Really?" I nodded before Ryoma placed a hand on my cheek. "Sveinn... I love you... So much.. When I heard you were taken, I immediately went to find you. I couldn't bear to think about what would've happened if none of us showed up when we did.." I teared up again as he said that and hugged him tightly as I started crying. He hugged me back, gently stroking my hair again.
     "I-I love you t-too Ryoma..."
     "Really..?" I nodded.
     "Really... I-I was scared and confused.. I love Juan and Ace, but you... You're different.. I can't explain it.."
     "Thank you Sveinn.. Really."
     "So he finally made a decision?" Ace asked softly and Ryoma smiled and nodded. I blushed as I heard Juan chuckle and hid my face in his chest.
     "Hey. I'm happy for you two." Juan smiled.
     "T-thanks..." I mumbled as Ryoma chuckled and kissed my head.
     "But just wait until the fun part." He smirked at us, causing my face to go red before I threw a pillow at his face. Ace laughed and I pouted.
     "Meanie."
     "Okay. Sorry. Let's go Juan. They need to rest." Juan chuckled and nodded before leaving the room.
     "Pervert." I mumbled and Ryoma chuckled, nodding in agreement.
     "That's Juan." I nodded before yawning. "Tired?" He asked. I didn't answer as I leaned against him and fell asleep with a small, contented smile.
