Entanglement Series: Of Firsts

Let's Talk About You and Me

Pausing, we all thought about this and I decided to take notes on our conversation, making it easier to talk about at a later date if need be.

"Obviously, big developments in our relationship should be decided together and we should spend more time as a trio than as duos." Shinsou mumbled, giving us both a questioning look.

"Look, fuck, I'll be the one to say it. For any firsts, we should all be together even if we don't all... participate in whatever it is." We all blushed, knowing exactly what he was talking about.

"I fucking agree with more time as a trio but that isn't always going to be possible. Plus, it will be good for us to get to know each other on a one-on-one basis. I seriously don't like the idea of missing out on a date though..."

"Well," I stammered, writing down his thoughts. "Right now, our course loads will be easier, so I say we take advantage of that and have dates together. We'll have to work ahead like we did today and if it interferes with our work, then we pull back and spend time without one another."

"Veto," they stated simultaneously. They shared a look before Shinsou started talking.

"If the dates interfere with our work, then we stop the dates. But stopping our time together would probably affect us more, we should just study in the common room if it becomes an issue." I laughed at their antics but didn't protest.

"Okay. If we distract each other too much then we start working in the common room." I hummed and started tapping my pen against my chin.

"On a slightly different note, I kind of talked to the girls to get an idea of how all this works and they gave a few good pointers. Don't worry! I did what we said and told them that we're not soulmates, just good friends who like each other."

Bakugo scoffed and crossed his arms, my eyes instantly noticing the tug and pull of his muscles.

"Like we need any of those fucking extras in our business. I swear I'll blow someone up if they try the shit they pulled today."

Shinsou quickly explained that the boys had wanted to know if we were dating and how the whole conversation had spiraled into idiocy. While I was curious about that conversation, I chose to redirect our thoughts.

"Riiiiigghhtt. Anyways. The girls said it would be good to set some ground rules first, which I totally agree with! Then, to get to know one another better, dates planned by each of us. I really like this idea. It would be fun to plan a surprise date. But be warned, I've never been on a date sssooo, I might mess it all up."

Bakugo pushed the computer into my lap and pointed at the screen. "You two read this stuff first and add it to the notes, shorty."

I rolled my eyes and moved the computer so Shinsou could see it better. He lazily put his head on my shoulder and started fiddling with my hair, murmuring the key points so I could write them down quickly.

"Poly soulmate relationships are much more difficult yet usually stronger than regular bonds. Harder because communication is needed doubly as much and stronger because usually there is someone to play middle man, like a peace keeper."

I wrote furiously, trying to ignore how my blond soulmate was wrapping his arms around my torso and resting his head on my other shoulder. Two heads buried in my neck and a deep voice in my ear. I'm gonna freaking lose it.

"Many of these relationships have an added bonus, like stronger emotional ties or raised libidos. Poly pairs often have higher levels of testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone."

I paused in my writing, looking over at Shinsou's now beet red face. We locked eyes and he pulled away from me.

"Well that actually explains a lot," he murmured, burying his face in his hands.
