Chapter Text

It’s stupidly hot in Sunnybrooks, New York, which takes Alex by surprise. He’s used to the unbearable heat of Austin so when he chose to move out for his apprenticeship, he was expecting to be cold more often than hot. That unfortunately doesn’t stop him from sweating buckets as he starts to unload his U-Haul on to a little dinky hand cart that Justin, his new mentor, is lending to him for his move.

Alex recalls his brief in person meeting with the man, the myth, the legend, Justin Lewis. It was quick and courteous, starting off with a firm handshake and a wry smile. Justin was quick to help him out with his new apartment keys and the cart before he had to get back to work. After this meeting, Alex overanalyzed everything until Justin shot him at text that it was nice to meet him and apologized he couldn't show Alex around town, which made Alex feel significantly more hopeful about his time here.

When Alex is taking a breather, looking up at his new window, he notices that someone is peeping on him from the apartment next to his. He smiles and waves at the friendly face who blushes and shyly waves back. He smiles cheekily to himself at the interaction, hoping to meet more of his neighbour.

Despite it being less than 48 hours since he saw his family last, he misses them already. It might have something to do with how he had to load up his whole life into one cube truck and drive across the country with just his own thoughts to keep him company. Sure, he called Nora and June briefly but it’s not the same to hear their laughs through the phone as it is to be in the same room as him.

Alex’s thoughts are interrupted as a small figure bursts out the door to the stairwell. A ginger streak of hair races towards him and wraps around his leg. A smooth voice floats down the stairs followed by heavy thumping as someone follows the kid, now entangled with him.

“Stevie, where did you go? You know better than to run out the door!”

The kid, who he now knows is Stevie, squeezes his leg even tighter and says in a high pitched voice, “I don't want her to find me, we’re playing hide and seek.”

“Well, you’re doing an awful job at hiding, kid.” Alex laughs.

The figure emerges from the stairs and sees Stevie wrapped around Alex.

“I’m so sorry! I don’t know how they got out the door.” says someone who is clearly the older sibling of this kid. Long ginger hair flowing over their shoulders, a face full of freckles and a grin that rivals their siblings, has Alex blown away. His gut sings at their smiling face, and instantly, Alex knows he’s screwed.

The figure smiles at Alex and greets him warmly, “You look new in town, are you Justin’s new apprentice? I’m Ty, she/they, and this munchkin's older sibling.”

Alex, once he has his wits about him again, replies, “Hey, yeah I am, I’m Alex, he/him! I guess word travels fast here”.

Ty laughs “You have no idea. Fresh faces in town are a rarity here so it’s nice to see one. Especially if it’s a pretty face and not an old retired fart.”

Alex blushes and leans down to ruffle Stevie’s hair, who’s been wrapped around his leg with a gorilla grip this whole time.

Ty continues, “I hope you get settled quick. I see that you’ve got a lot of boxes. Do you need a hand? I’m not sure if Stevie can be trusted with any of them but we’d both love to help out!”

Alex smiles widely, “Oh actually if you don’t mind that would be excellent. I’m still sore from packing up this truck.”

Ty laughs and Alex nearly falls to his knees, enchanted by the sound. He needs to hear more of that somehow and if they’re offering to help with boxes who is he to say no.

--

Watching Ty lift heavy boxes with ease, muscles glistening in the sun, makes Alex nearly have an aneurysm. They fall quickly into easy companionship with Stevie holding all the doors for them as they unload the truck. He learns that Ty lives in the apartment next to him and they share a hallway and a fire escape. Ty mentions that there’s someone else in the same building and they’re all roughly the same age. Alex is delighted about the idea of finding a community so quickly.

During a water break, Alex talks about his family in Austin and Ty mentions that she lives above her family's tailoring business and in exchange for living alone, she babysits Stevie, her stepsibling, three nights a week. When Alex brings up his family, he’s surprised when Ty knows of his mom, a state senator from Texas.

Ty is awed about Alex so casually talking about his mom, “You know she’s a legend in the queer community right? Like she put gender-netrual bathrooms in so many schools and made kids like Stevie lives a whole lot easier.”

Alex wonders about what is acceptable to ask Stevie, he wants to be understanding and respectful but he also wants to not mess anything up. He goes about it tentatively, “I’m sorry, I don’t want to assume and please correct me if I’m wrong, but Stevie uses they/them pronouns right?”

Ty smiles at his rambling, “Yeah, they do. They’ve been out as non-binary for 2 years now. My parents are super progressive and like picture perfect allies for them.”

That prompts Alex to ask “How old is Stevie? Sorry, I’m bad at guessing kids' ages. I don't tend to spend a lot of time with people who aren’t old woodworkers.”

Ty laughs again which makes Alex’s stomach swoop. “Stevie just turned nine, and if you asked could tell you to the minute how old they are” they say.

As if summoned, Stevie comes rushing up the stairs from where they were ‘supervising’ the U-Haul. “The British boy is here! He needs you to move the truck!”

As quick as they came, they’re gone. Alex looks at Ty and asks, “The British boy?”

“Oh, that must be Henry, you’ve got to meet him, he’s our other neighbour.”

Alex jumps to his feet and offers a hand to Ty, who quickly grasps it and lets him help her to her feet. Alex has to ignore the thrill that runs through his body at their contact.

Together, they descend down the frankly incredibly steep stairs.

Alex mutters to himself, “Oh, I’m so going to eat shit on these at one point.”

From behind him, he hears Ty laugh which plasters a grin to his face.

That grin is quickly wiped away into shock at the sight of the absolute specimen of a man before him. Alex has known for a while now that men are attractive and if given the right opportunity, he would choose to explore his sexuality more. That all comes crashing down when he sees Henry.

The easily six-foot-three giant hunk of a man pierces him with his blue eyes that are catching in the sun. As Henry goes to block the sun out of his eyes to see who’s coming down the stairs, Alex reminds himself that he is a human who can speak words and really shouldn’t fumble this interaction.

He’s hoping that if he plays his cards right, and if Henry isn’t a dick and/or straight, that he could test some theories he’s suddenly having. His mind also realizes that he would like to enjoy Ty in that way too.

This revelation has Alex’s mind spinning as Henry greets him.

The deep and very British voice says, “Hey Ty, good to see you. And you must be Alex, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Henry extends his hand for a handshake and continues, “I’m Henry, he/him and I’m your other neighbour.”

Alex brain blue screens with too many thoughts and Ty, realizing his panic, jumps in before it gets awkward.

“I’m just helping Alex move some stuff in, that’s why were blocking your delivery entrance. So sorry about that!”

With his brain turning back on, Alex realizes that he came down here to move the truck.

“Oh shit! My bad, let me get that out of your way.”

Alex slaps a hand over his mouth and looks around to find Stevie who is petting an old looking beagle at Henry’s feet.

Ty and Henry laugh at Alex’s realization.

“Oh, you don’t need to worry about language around this munchkin, they’ve witnessed Settlers of Catan night before and have heard much, much worse.” Ty jokes, but Alex can tell there’s an undercurrent of seriousness.

Henry lights up, “Alex, you must come play with us! We’ve been looking for a third player to make things a bit more competitive.”

Ty gives him an overdramatic panicked look but Alex responds anyways, “I’d love to. Just come knock whenever!”

Stevie chimes in from the ground, “They say I can’t play because it's a grown up game, but I know I’d kick all of you in the butt if you’d let me play. Just like Mario Kart.” They say with serious grit in their voice.

This has Alex in hysterics, smiling widely at his luck and bright future. Ty and Henry quickly join in on it as well.

After the laughing dies down, Alex remembers about the truck and how he’s inconveniencing Henry. He pats his pockets and feels that he doesn’t have the key for the truck.

“Sorry guys, I left the key upstairs. I’ll be back in a jiffy.”

As he climbs up the mildly dangerous stairs, two very different thoughts cross his mind. The first wondering how long he’d be able to go without tripping on these stairs. He quickly ponders the idea of a “how many days since the last accident sign” before the second thought hits.

He already knows he wants both Ty and Henry. He just hopes he can get them both somehow.

Chapter Text

Watching Alex climb up the stairs, Ty is trying (and failing) to keep her eyes
off of his ass. She smiles to herself.

Henry, sensing her grin, catches her eyes on Alex. “He’s quite a looker isn’t he.”

Ty laughs, “Oh yeah, and surprisingly chill, so far it's all green flags.”

Henry and Ty exchange a glance that neither of them can quite decipher but they smile at each other anyways.

“We gotta have him over for a smoke and Catan night soon. I’d love to get to know him more.”

Ty wiggles their eyebrows at him, “I know you’d like to get to know him better.”

Henry huffs jokingly and shoves her shoulder. “Oh leave off it for now won't you. I don’t want to scare him away so soon.”

Alex comes jogging back down the stairs, nearly eating shit off the last one. “Afraid of scaring me away? I don’t think that’s possible. Unless you guys are secretly skinning people, I’m not worried. You’ve passed the vibe check so far.”

Ty smiles and prays that Alex didn’t overhear all of that conversation cause that may truly scare him away.

“I should get this truck out of your way now, huh” Alex says but makes no move to leave.

Tension rises between the three of them until Henry snaps it, “Yes please, that would be lovely. I’ve got a delivery driver coming in a few minutes and she’d be quite upset if her normal spot is blocked.”

Ty is grateful for the release of tension, they were seriously starting to wonder if they messed everything up already. The last thing Ty wanted to do was make Alex, who is so new in town and now her very hot neighbour, uncomfortable.

Alex jingles the keys absentmindedly and looks at the truck. “I’m not sure how exactly to get Lizard out. I may need a spot.”

Ty freezes for a second, “You named your U-Haul ‘Lizard’?”

Alex laughs and Ty falls just a bit deeper into infatuation with him. “Yeah, I’m not the most creative namer and there’s a lizard on the side of the truck, so…”

That has Henry do an adorable snort of laughter that makes Ty’s head spin.

“Don’t worry, Henry named his dog David.”

That seems to shock Alex right to his core, “you named this cute little guy David?”

“Wait, wait, wait. I will not be made fun of for naming my dog after an icon.”

“$20 bucks if you can guess who Henry is referring to.” Ty says on a whim.

Alex comically scratches his chin for a second, deep in thought. “There’s very few good famous David’s I can think of off the top of my head. The only one that springs to mind is Bowie but there’s no way you wouldn’t just name him Ziggy or Bowie or literally anything other than David.”

This has Ty wheezing out a laugh and Henry is quick to respond, “A man can’t have an air of mystery anymore? David is a perfectly adequate name, thank you very much.”

“It’s a tax account name,” Alex responds and Henry frowns jokingly at that.

“I’m taking that personally for him.” Henry jokes.

“Alright boys, are we going to move this truck or stand around all day.” Ty breaks up the conversation and the three of them quickly jump into action to get the nearly empty truck back on to the street.

As Henry helps Alex back up, Ty can’t help but grin broadly at the sight. She’s rarely had people her age around and as much as she loves Henry, some could say too much, it’s nice to have someone else to chat with.

She thinks to herself, ‘man I gotta get the two of them to play Catan. I hope Alex is good about weed. I should really ask’. With that thought in mind, she grabs David’s leash that’s on the ground and offers it to Stevie. “I’m trusting you with the most noble of dogs, Sir David himself.”

Stevie seems absolutely honored and takes a firm grip on the leash. “I won’t let you down, Ty-ty.”

The two of them set off to follow the truck out to the road.

--

It’s been a hot afternoon of moving very heavy boxes up and down perilous stairs, and Ty wants to have a long shower. Her parents are coming to grab Stevie in 15 minutes so she’s getting the last of her munchkin time in until next week.

Stevie and Ty are sitting on the fire escape having a popsicle when Alex pops his head out the window beside them.

“You don’t happen to know how to get the AC working do you?” Alex asks sheepishly. “I can’t seem to figure it out.”

Ty smiles and helps Stevie to their feet, “Yeah I should, it’s most likely the same as my unit.”

Alex offers Stevie and then Ty a hand through the window and into his new place. Looking around, Ty sees that it’s got barebones furniture and a hell of a lot of boxes.

Together, they walk over to a very complicated looking thermostat that is incredibly different from Ty’s.

“I’m not sure about this one, Alex. It doesn’t even seem to be connected to anything.” Ty says as she tugs gently on the unit.

Much to everyone’s surprise, the whole unit comes out with ease from the wall, showing a handful of wires behind it. Alex sighs and says, “Justin mentioned that no one had lived here for a while and the tenant before me wasn’t the best.”

Ty pulls a face, “Yeah, I really didn’t like him.”

“I feel like there’s a story there that I’ll ask you about another time, when I’m not sweating balls.” Alex laughs. “I’ll call the building manager in the morning and see if I can get this fixed. Until then I’ll just cook.” He says with a resigned sigh.

Ty realizes that she can totally solve this problem and get to know Alex better. She sees out of the corner of her eye, Alex looking at her hopefully.

“You know, the munchkin is leaving in 15 minutes, you’re more than welcome to come over and crash.”

Alex lights up at that, “You’re a life saver! Thank you so much!”

Ty laughs, “You will have to play Catan though, that’s the only stipulation.”

A car horn interrupts their conversation, and Stevie rushes over to the window. They jump up and down and wave enthusiastically at the sight of their parents.

“That’s Mummy and Dad! I gotta go now Ty-ty,” Stevie shouts as they sprint down the hallway and stairs.

Ty glances over at Alex and says, “Back in one sec, I gotta go say ‘hi’ to my folks.”

Alex nods as he pulls out his phone. “No worries, I’ll be right here pretending to know what’s going on with this,” he gestures to the wires.

As Ty descends the stairs, she sees her mum and dad hug Stevie tight. There’s a pang in their chest at the sight. Ty’s relationship with her parents has been rocky for most of her life but it brings her great joy to see that Stevie isn’t experiencing the same struggles.

“Heya Ty,” their dad greets them as their mum pulls Ty into a hug.

“It’s good to see you,” her mum says into her shoulder.

Ty rolls her eyes, “you see me 5 days a week, dude,”

“Don’t call your mother ‘dude’ please,” her father says harshly.

Her mum shoots him a look, “It’s fine, Dan, I’m a dude sometimes.”

Stevie grabs their dad’s hand and jumps up and down. “Ty-ty gave me a popsicle for helping with the doors.”

“That’s great kiddo, I’m sure you were a big help” Dan says brightly.

“I saw a U-Haul on the road, is that the new boy’s truck?” her mom asks, with Stevie spinning around in circles between them.

“Yeah, that’s Alex’s. We were helping him with some stuff just now.” Ty says as Stevie slams into her knees.

“Okay kiddo, maybe it’s time to get you home before all this sugar wears off,” her dad cuts off the conversation.

Ty says their goodbyes as their family loads up into the minivan.

As the van reverses out of the driveway, Henry pops his head out from his store’s delivery entrance. “You okay? I didn’t mean to eavesdrop but I did.”

“Yeah, I’m as good as I can be,” there’s a pause for a second before Ty breaks the growing tension. “Alex is gonna crash at mine for the night cause his AC is busted. You down for Catan?”

Henry smiles widely and chimes back “Of course, I’m always down for Catan.”

--

Ty is strangely nervous as Alex enters her apartment for the first time. He looks around politely and stands a little uncomfortably at the door. Ty invites him in, “Are you a vampire, you’re more than welcome in.”

Alex laughs at that and pops off his shoes, leaving them by the door. Ty flops onto the teal couch and Alex walks over, sitting down beside them.

Ty tries their best to ignore the smell of Alex, fresh out of the shower, but it’s not an easy thing to do. He smells like a campfire somehow and it’s got them wrapped around his finger.

“I like your sense of style, this place is sick. The decorations are so fitting for the space.”

Ty blushes at Alex’s comment, “Thank you, I love going to vintage and antique markets and finding the weird shit. Also can’t discount Facebook Marketplace, it’s got all the good stuff”.

Alex nods, “There’s the bare minimum of furniture in my place but I want to upgrade some of it. I think the last tenant was a nic chain smoker and it left a mark.”

Ty scrunches up their nose, “Yeah, that would be Nathaniel. He lived and died by a cig.”

Alex opens his mouth to say something before quickly shutting it. Ty gives him a questioning look.

“Is this a safe space,” Alex asks, almost jokingly but Ty can tell he’s asking for real.

“Yes, of course.” Ty reassures him.

“I would love to smoke some weed right now, obviously not inside, but I don’t want to make you uncomfortable. I just haven’t had a break in going on two weeks and I really need to unwind” Alex rambles.

Ty bursts out laughing, “Yeah dude, of course. Henry and I usually smoke before we play and you’re more than welcome to join. I’ve got the good stuff”.

Alex beams at them in a way that resembles a golden retriever and it hits Ty how truly fucked they are.

“I’d love that,” he says. “I was going to go find a dispensary but if I can borrow some from you, I’ll make sure I pay you back.”

“Don’t worry about it, I’ve got a friend who’s a grey market dealer and I get it for real cheap. I can hook you up if you’d like.”

“Oh so you’ve got connections,” Alex teases.

Ty smiles, “you know it!”

They continue to smile at each other as there is a knock on the door. Ty makes no move to get up but simply yells, “why are you bothering to knock, dingus.”

They turn back to Alex, “He’s never this polite, he knows you’re here and wants to make a good impression”.

Alex laughs as Henry opens the door. Ty notices that the two of them give each other a wide smile and Alex checks Henry out in a very not subtle way, causing Henry to blush profusally.

“I brought a bottle of wine and a pack of joints. I’m all set” Henry announces as he walks into the room, dropping down the items before getting comfy in the armchair beside them.

“Perfect!” Ty says, “Alex here was just expressing an urge to smoke and unwind so you’re right on target.”

Alex nods, “Are you guys the type to drink and smoke?”

Ty and Henry nod and share a look.

“Okay great, I’m looking forward to this significantly more now,” Alex grins.

Ty is the first to move, reaching over to the drawer under the coffee table and pulling out a grinder, tray and some papers, setting them down onto the table.

Henry sighs, “One day you’ll trust me to roll.”

“No, I won't,” Ty laughs. “This man is so terrible at rolling, I’ve never seen someone make a semi-circle joint before”.

Alex can’t contain his laughter at that mental image. “Oh my god, a semi-circle? How?”

Henry looks embarrassed in a way Ty hasn’t seen in forever, which sends a confusing feeling through them. They worry that they may have pushed Henry too far and made him uncomfortable.

All those fears are washed away as Henry chirps back, “That’s why I buy pre-rolls, that and I have style. Some may even say class.” He emphasizes his accent as he says that.

The three of them keep laughing together as Ty finishes rolling up the joint.

“Shall we boys?” Ty gestures to the fire escape and they all move to get up.

Henry grabs the wine bottle from the table and asks in a serious tone of voice, “Alex, you don’t have cooties do you?”

Alex gives him a confused look, “What–Huh?”

There’s an undignified giggle that Henry tries and fails to suppress.

“We typically share straight from the bottle and he’s just asking if that’s okay,” Ty explains.

“Oh, that's fine. I’m clean,” Alex takes a second and blushes at his admission.

“That’s good to know,” Henry says with a wink.

Ty is confused at their dynamic but nonetheless entertained.

“Alright, enough diddlyfucking around, let's go smoke,” Ty shouts.

Chapter Text

Henry knew he was screwed the second he saw Alex. The cheek dimples alone had him on his knees (not that he would be mad about that) but the feeling of guilt comes crashing down on him about his confusing feelings for Ty.

He loves Ty with all of his heart, they’ve been there for him since he first moved in seven months ago, and there’s no way he can repay her kindness. He also knows he’s a gay man and he doesn’t know how Ty can factor into that. Henry’s all for sexuality being a spectrum and he knows that gender is stupid so he really shouldn’t be this confused, but he does stand by his first admission to Ty that he is ‘as gay as a maypole’.

Henry watches Alex’s throat bob as he takes a swig of the cheap rosé he bought at the corner store, and he has to hold himself back from commenting on it. Not that he knows what he would have said but he feels the urge to do something drastic.

Ty is snuggled up next to him with a blanket wrapped around both of their shoulders leaning back against the wall, while Alex is perched on the window ledge beside them.

“We should really invest in chairs,” Alex says. “I have a feeling we’ll be out here a lot.”

The use of ‘we’ has Henry’s stomach doing twirls. He wants nothing more than for the three of them to become a ‘we’, and he thinks there’s a high chance that might happen.

Ty coughs a little beside them, Henry laughs and plucks the joint from her fingers. “I’ll take that, thank you.”

He takes a few pulls off of it and exhales slowly. Today was stressful at the shop, he knows he needs a break and he might just get one tonight.

He wordlessly hands the joint up to Alex, who takes it cautiously.

“I haven’t smoked in awhile, so please don’t mind my coughing.” Alex chuckles.

Ty tries to say something but can’t stop coughing, so Alex hands over the wine bottle as Henry gives her a few friendly smacks on the back.

Henry is a very weak and very gay man. This fact is very present in his mind as he watches Alex smoke in the most handsome way. That image is slightly ruined by how he coughs almost immediately but Alex quickly recovers.

As the buzz kicks in for the three of them, Henry’s mind turns to food. “Alex, you don’t happen to be a cook by any chance?”

Alex lights up, “Yeah! I love to cook and I was a line cook back in Highschool. I make a mean burrito. Can I ask why?”

Ty gives Henry a hopeful look, to which Henry returns before turning to Alex.

Henry explains, “Neither Ty or I can cook for shit, so we normally order takeout on Catan night. I cannot ask you in good faith to cook tonight, but I'd be happy to sous chef for you another night,” he offers.

Henry’s knees go weak at Alex’s smile. “I would love that,” Alex exclaims.

Ty chimes in, “I’m a better sous chef than he’ll ever be. I once saw him cut his hand cutting a bagel into his palm…”

“Hey! That was one time, and I’ve learned since,” Henry says with a huff.

Alex looks dumbfounded at Henry, “Why would you ever cut towards your palm?”

“I was being careful–” Henry starts.

Alex cuts him off, “I don’t think you were.”

“Okay, fair. But I was trying my best and that’s what matters.”

“Amen to that, dude” Ty raises the wine bottle.

Alex offers the joint back to Ty and Henry notices that his eyes linger on their face as they smoke. Henry isn’t stupid, he knows very well that his best friend is stunning. It’s just an odd feeling to have someone else other than him appreciate her like that.

Henry thought he’d be jealous if this ever happened, but he’s feeling something else, something that he currently can’t name but he’s sure isn’t jealousy.

The three of them stay out there for awhile, drinking and smoking, not letting the silence stay for long as Alex asks questions about the town and about their lives.

Henry is worried that Sunnybrook might be a bit mundane for Alex, but he seems interested in everything they have to say.

The more Henry gets to know him, the more confident he gets that Alex will fit right in.

--

Eventually, the three of them decide to head inside before the bugs come.

Henry tries not to stare at Alex’s ass as he walks to the kitchen to grab them all glasses of water. It takes him a second to find the glasses but as he leans up to grab the cups from the top shelf, his shirt rides up and Henry can see miles of tan skin he’d like to get his hands on.

Ty follows his eyes and is similarly shook. Henry knows that they’ll have to debrief at some point because it’s obvious how much tension sits in the room.

Alex returns with the glasses, and sets them down on the table, carefully setting a coaster beneath all of them. That small detail makes Henry’s heart grow three sizes bigger.

“Alright, I’m hungry,” Ty whines jokingly. “What are we feeling tonight?”

Alex shrugs, “I'm good for anything and you guys know what’s good so I’ll let you decide. I’m just going to run to the bathroom super quick if that’s okay?”

“Gossip girl,” Henry and Ty say in unison.

Alex laughs as he walks away.

Ty and Henry exchange a heated stare once the bathroom door shuts and starts to whisper.

“Dude, he’s hot,” Ty mutters.

“Tell me about it. I need him in ways that would have my ancestors rolling in their graves.” Henry jokes.

Ty quietly laughs, “I'm sure they already are”.

Henry gives her a quick shove but keeps them close together, his head on their shoulder. They’re squished together on the couch, with Henry on the far left and just enough space for someone else to sit beside Ty. Henry wishes that Alex was there.

As Alex leaves the bathroom, Henry watches him consider his options before he sits down on the floor by their feet.

Henry, in his high state, wants nothing more than to play with Alex’s hair but he knows that may cross a line.

Ty pulls out her phone and starts to browse delivery services.

“I was thinking Thai if that works for you both?” They ask.

Henry nods silently and Alex replies, “Hell yeah that does.”

Ty quickly picks out her and Henry’s typical order before handing her phone over to Alex, who’s just out of reach.

Alex, realizing that he needs to scooch closer, chooses to sit between Henry’s legs.

He looks up at Henry and says, “Is this okay?”

Henry is quick to respond, “Of course, but I may play with your hair”.

There’s a wave of embarrassment that hits him as Ty gives him some side eye, but that’s quickly washed away by Alex’s response.

“I was hoping you would.”

As Alex browses the menu, Henry slowly sinks his hands into Alex’s curls, playing with them and twisting them around his fingers.

Alex lets out an indescribably soft noise that has both Ty and him respond with a similar one.

The three of them must make such a picture of closeness, wrapped up on the couch together.

Henry feels Alex hum again as he hands the phone up towards Ty.

“Let me know how much I owe you, please,” Alex says quietly.

Ty is quick to reassure him, “Don’t worry about it, if you want to get next time though, I won’t stop you.”

The buzz seems to settle over all of them as they lapse into silence.

Alex breaks the silence by asking the most important question, “What is you guy’s favourite Star Wars movie? There is a right answer.”

Ty laughs, “That’s a great question, of course it's A New Hope, but Henry would disagree.”

Alex shakes his head, “Ok wrong answer, Henry your turn.”

Suddenly feeling the pressure to get this right, he answers honestly, “Of course it's Return of the Jedi, It’s objectively the right answer.”

Alex shakes his head again in disbelief, “Okay so neither of you got it right because it’s Empire.”

The three of them quickly start a friendly argument about the original trilogy, and Henry feels a sense of ease he hasn’t felt in ages fall over him.

It’s nice to feel at home, even if he’s known Alex for less than 6 hours.

Eventually, Ty’s phone dings and she jumps up to get the food. She stands up too quickly and almost falls right into Alex’s lap.

With lighting quick reflexes, Alex places a steadying hand on her hip.

“Oh, sorry about that. Got up too fast.” Ty laughs.

Alex drops his hand once Ty is steady on their feet, and Henry can’t help but wish he could get his hands on Ty too. With that feeling in mind, he keeps playing with Alex’s hair.

Henry feels Alex shift a little under him and he takes a second to check in.

“Everything okay, Alex?” he asks.

Alex exhales and replies, “Yeah, I haven’t been this high around new people in a while and my anxiety tends to get the best of me sometimes. I’m sorry.”

“Why are you apologizing, you’ve got nothing to be sorry about. Everything is okay and you’re safe.”

Henry considers for a second if he crossed a line but he feels Alex relax beneath him.

Without thinking about the words coming out of his mouth, “Would some more physical contact help? I know it helps me when I’m feeling anxious.”

Alex freezes beneath him and Henry quickly takes his hands out of his hair.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to come on to you like that. Please ignore me.” Henry says.

Alex turns around to face him and Henry realizes that Alex is smiling.

“No, no, you’re all good. I appreciate the offer.” Alex says. “Would I be able to join you on the couch?”

Henry smiles right back, “Of course, you’re always welcome to cuddle with us.”

As Alex stands up, Henry opens his arms in a gesture to let the other man get comfortable.

Alex sits down and places his head on Henry’s shoulder, his face almost in Henry’s neck.

“Can you hold me?” Alex says quietly.

Instantly, Henry wraps his arms around Alex and lets the other man shift until he’s comfortable.

The door swings open, bursting the serenity bubble that was just made. Alex makes like he’s going to move but Henry just wraps his arms around him even tighter.

“Alex just needs some cuddle time right now,” Henry explains to Ty, who smiles widely at that.

“Who doesn’t need that?” they kindly reply.

As Ty sets down the food and grabs some forks, Alex mutters, “I should move, huh?”

“If you’d like, we can also wait to eat. I’m good either way.” Henry says into Alex’s hair.

Alex sighs and sits up, Henry lifting his arms out from around him in the process. “As my sister would say, eating always makes you feel better.”

Ty chimes in from across the room where they are grabbing another wine bottle. “Your sister is a smart person.”

Alex nods quietly, seemingly shrinking in on himself. Henry reaches over and squeezes his arm, trying to be as reassuring as possible. He can sense Alex’s anxiety and his heart hurts to see him like this.

Ty joins them on the couch, it’s a bit of a tight fit for 3 grown adults but they make it work. None of them seem to mind that they’re practically on top of each other.

There’s a lull in the conversation as Ty distributes the food and hands out forks. Alex and Henry tuck into their food, but Ty seems to be struggling.

Knowing his friend well, he reaches down into the weed drawer of the coffee table and pulls out a dab pen. He hands it wordless over to Ty, who takes it thankfully and stands up.

“I’m just gonna step out onto the fire escape for a second, I’ll be right back.”

Ty shuts the window behind them, and Henry knows that his friend is overwhelmed by having to eat, especially in front of someone new.

Once the window is shut, he quietly says to Alex, “You did nothing wrong, they just needed a second and a tad bit more weed to calm them down. It’s not my place to say more than that but don’t worry about anything.”

Alex lets out some tension and leans back, continuing to eat.

Chapter Text

As Ty sits out on the fire escape, she can’t help but question how much her life is going to change after meeting just one person. Alex seems to be like the sun, so blinding and she can feel herself being pulled into his gravity. By no means is she upset about that, it’s just different.

Alex’s arrival has also shifted her and Henry’s dynamic, hopefully for the better. Ty has spent the last few months out of their mind confused about what Henry feels towards them.

Ty dreams of being with Henry, though she knows he isn’t interested. There’s a little voice in the back of her head that says ‘you don’t know that for sure’, but she tends to ignore that voice.

There were so many points where Henry could have acted on his feelings, if he felt any towards them, but he didn’t, so Ty has resigned herself to pining quietly in the corner.

They hear through the glass, Henry reassuring Alex that he did nothing wrong. They’re thankful he’s doing that, they didn’t mean to upset him. It’s just so easy for them to spiral when they go to eat.

Ty takes a few pulls off the pen before standing up and shaking out their body. They hear the voice of their therapist saying, ‘better out than in,’ in reference to holding in tension and emotion.

As they go to open the window, they get hit with a wave of domesticity. The sight of Henry on her couch is not a new one, but seeing Alex curled up beside him, head on his shoulder is a sight that she could get used to.

The window, as always, makes a horrible screech as they open it, bursting the quiet bubble.

“Hey,” Ty greets quietly, trying not to disturb the peace anymore than they have to.

“Everything okay? Would you like me to wrap up your food for later?” Henry asks.

Ty nods her head yes as she goes to sit down on the couch.

“Anything I can do?” Alex asks. “I can leave–”

“Absoutetly not, you cannot leave until we play Catan. That is the rule. Plus you’re staying the night here. I refuse to let you cook in your place.”

Henry stands up, gently so as to not disturb Alex, and starts to wrap up the food.

“Okay, thank you again.” Alex says.

Ty nods and reminds him, “No worries at all.”

“Just to get a vibe check, how intoxicated are you guys? Cause I may need to do some catching up if we all want to be on the same level.” Henry asks.

Alex laughs and says “I’m okay, just chilling, I could probably do with some more weed but any more wine and I’ll be dead tomorrow.”

Ty says, purposefully slurring their words, “I’m doing just fine”.

That gets a laugh out of Alex and Henry which dissolves the unease in the air.

Henry reaches over to the coffee table to grab his pack of joints. He points towards the window and the three of them head over and pop it open.

Alex turns back and stares for a second at the blanket he had, as if he’s calculating something.

Ty, noticing this, turns around and grabs the ‘outside’ blanket and hands it to Alex explaining, “No couch blankets on the fire escape, they get covered in rust, but we’ve got this one for such an occasion.”

Alex lights up and wraps himself up in it. “Thank you,” he says.

It’s funny to watch Alex awkwardly climb through the window all wrapped up and it does wonders to lift Ty’s mood.

Once they’re all settled on the fire escape, this time with all three of them smushed together looking out across the parking lot, Henry ever so delicately, lights up the joint. He takes a few puffs before passing it over to Alex.

A thought crosses Ty’s mind and they can’t stop themself from verbalizing it.

“Hey Hen, do you wanna stay the night too? We can do a proper sleepover.”

Alex looks excitedly at Henry, similarly to how a dog looks at it's owner, and Ty watches Henry’s resolve crumble instantly.

“Of course,” he replies.

Ty gingerly accepts the joint from Alex and takes a few puffs before they begin to cough.

“Wow, that’s strong stuff,” they say. Henry just laughs in response.

Alex looks like he has a question and Ty would put money on what it is.

“Hey, just to confirm sleeping arrangements and all of that. Are you two going to share a bed and like I’ll take the couch? Cause I’m fine with that but also I’m good for anything..” Alex rambles.

Bingo, Ty thinks. Alex asked the million dollar question. It wouldn’t be the first time that she and Henry have shared a bed, so it’s not out of the question. Although, all Ty can think of is how much she doesn’t want either of them to sleep on the couch.

To delay the thinking, and also hopefully to get more comfortable to pitch their idea, they reply. “I think that’s a later us issue. Not one for right now.”

Alex seems to be satisfied by that answer and rests his head on her shoulder. Ty shifts at the sudden movement and Alex seems to take that as rejection.

“Nope, you come back here if you wanna cuddle,” they say teasingly.

Alex sighs overdramatically, “I guess if I have to…”

Henry laughs and does grabby hands for the joint that’s smoking in Ty’s hand.

The three of them finish it quite quickly and before they all know it, they’re all cooked.

Henry is the first to move, “C’mon guys, my ass is numb from sitting here and I was promised a competitive game of Catan.”

Ty groans, though it sounds closer to a moan as she stands up, which makes Henry and Alex stare at her in a way she dreams about; they both are giving her bedroom eyes.

Panickingly slightly about the sound she made, she tries to cover it up, “Oh god, we still have to set up the board, don’t we.”

“Yep,” Henry says, popping the ‘p’, being quickly pulled from whatever haze he was in.

Alex makes a huff from the ground, “I don’t want to get up though”.

Henry and Ty laugh at his antics, before Ty bribes him in.

“There’s a cozy blanket inside for you–”

Alex is up in a flash so fast that he bumps right into Ty, and immediately puts a steadying hand on her hip for the second time today.

Ty feels like she’s burning from where he’s touching her, even through her clothes. That reminds her, she’s way too hot for this sweater.

She gestures for the boys to go inside first, as she pulls off her hoodie. Ty tries to stop her miniscule tanktop from coming with her sweater but doesn't succeed. Henry, who's halfway through the window, turns around as she struggles.

“Need a hand?” he asks.

Ty nods sheepishly and Henry slides his hands up her exposed back feeling for the edge of her tanktop. There’s a quick surge of energy from where she’s being touched as Henry delicately pulls and holds her tanktop down.

She is now very aware that she should have done this inside, her nipples harden in the cold air and her choice of a thin tank top does nothing to hide that.

As Henry pulls away, his hand grazes the small of her back and sends a shiver through her.

Her horny brain kicks into gear and she has to remind herself that now is not the time.

She swings her leg through the window and climbs in. It’s not the most graceful of entrances but they make it.

Alex, who’s watching her from the couch, catches her eye and smiles. His eyes quickly dart down to their chest, and he blushes profusely.

Ty smiles to themself and walks over to the shelf where the legendary box of Catan is.

Alex pipes up, “Why do you guys play Catan? Like Monopoly is so much better.”

Before Ty can go on a rant, Henry cuts them off as he clears the coffee table. “We don’t say the M-word in this house.”

Alex goes “oh I see” softly.

Ty hands the box to Henry for him to start setting it up, though she reconsiders after looking at Henry’s eyes.

“You still with us, Hen?” They ask.

“Uh-huh” he says, in the least convincing fashion.

Alex laughs, “I believe in you, Hen. You can totally set up this hellishly complicated board game.”

Henry flips him off and begins to unpack it.

Chapter Text

Alex didn’t believe in love at first meeting before he met these two. His head is swimming, both from the alcohol and the crashing waves of feelings he is experiencing.

It’s been a crazy few weeks and this is exactly what he needed. He’s so thankful that Ty and Henry have adopted him into their lives. This night has already been so fun and he’s really hoping they can do this again.

Alex takes a breath and tries to calm himself down. It’s easy for him to get overwhelmed when he smokes, especially on a Big Feelings Day. He reminds himself of Henry’s words earlier, that ‘he’s safe here’.

He truly cannot believe his luck of finding community so quickly. Alex panics for a second at the thought of messing this up. The last thing he wants is to make either of them uncomfortable and then have to live next to them for the foreseeable future.

For a second, his mind takes him to wondering about if Henry and Ty have ever done anything other than be friends. It doesn’t seem like it but even he can sense the sexual tension between them.

Alex knows he needs to keep his feelings in check, though they’re both making it incredibly hard. Ty’s chest and stomach being very much on display in that tiny tank top has his brain in the gutter. He looks over at Henry, who’s adorably struggling to set up the game, and glances at his hands, which would look very nice wrapped around him.

He cuts his thoughts off there, time to get his mind out of the gutter.

As if hearing his thoughts, Ty calls out from the shelf across the room, “Any music preferences?”

Alex shakes his head no, “Whatever you’re vibing with works for me.”

His tongue feels heavy in his mouth which he’s grateful for because if he could speak freely, he’d ruin the moment with some out of bounds horny remark.

He’s not stupid, he knows that there’s some unresolved sexual tension in the room, he just doesn’t know if he’s apart of it or not.

Henry is muttering to himself about how to set up the game and it makes Alex actually sigh out loud about how cute he is.

Trying (and failing) to stop them from noticing his reaction, he gets up as the music starts to play, and walks over to the kitchen to fill his water.

Ty looks over at him, “If you want more booze, there’s a whole liquor cabinet over there,” She gestures vaguely to a shelf in the kitchen.
“Please help yourself if you’d like some. I’m gonna come over in a sec and make a drink”

Alex feels weird about opening up all the cupboard doors to look at it until Henry looks up and cracks a joke.

“Don’t worry, they don’t keep their sex toys in the kitchen, they’re in the lower white dresser door.”

“Hen!” Ty exclaims, “Don’t go giving all my secrets away. What about my air of mystery?”

Alex chuckles at that, which gets him a joking glare from Ty.

“They’ve got a large collection–” Henry starts before getting hit in the face with a pillow.

Ty blushes and gestures for Alex to make a drink.

“Alex, can you make me a strong G&T please?” Henry asks from the light room.

Alex gives him a big thumbs up and searches for the liquor once more. He finds it fairly quickly but realizes there are no shot glasses around.

“How do you typically measure?” he asks.

“Hen, I think it’s best if you answer that one.” ty laughs.

Henry shouts “We measure with our dick!”

Alex, heeding those words of advice, pours himself an ample amount of tequila and then pours roughly the same amount of gin for Henry.

He feels a hand on his lower back as Ty goes to whisper in his ear, “Give him some more, he’s really cute when he’s drunk and it takes a lot for him to get there.”

Alex turns around and is suddenly aware of how close they are together.

“You sure he won’t mind?” he asks.

Ty nods, “It’s all good, he usually goes for 50/50 for G&Ts.”

Alex smiles as Ty turns around to the fridge, her ass prominently on display through her short pajama shorts. He tries his best not to look until they wiggle it on purpose, laughing.

He realizes that he was probably quite obvious and he feels his whole body flush.

Ty turns back around, a bottle of OJ and a can of tonic in her hand. She stands up on her tiptoes to whisper in his ear again, though this time they’re face to face.

“It’s okay, you can look if you’d like. God knows I’ve been looking at your’s.”

Alex continues to blush profusely, and when Ty goes to hip bump him out of the way, he lets them.

Ty pours some tonic into Henry’s drink, and juice into Alex’s and an empty cup. She tops up hers with a substantial amount of tequila.

Alex’s brain suddenly catches up to what Ty just says and he realizes that it’s most likely fine if he flirts back.

He turns around and reaches for Henry and his glasses, but with both arms, surrounding Ty with his body. He lets his body cover some of Ty’s back, which is quite easy with their size difference. Alex feels Ty shudder against him, but before he can back away he feels Ty lean into him.

They stand there for a second, enjoying the touch until Henry shouts, “I’m finally done! I did it!”

Ty and Alex giggle together as they untangle themselves and walk back into the living room.

Alex finds himself questioning what just happened until his brain realizes that it’s more important to enjoy the moment than overanalyze.

He moves to sit down opposite the couch on the floor, but Henry has none of that.

“No, you’re sitting on the couch with us. How else would we be able to steal your cards and cuddle at the same time.”

Alex, feeling reassured and even more confused about what the dynamic between the three of them is, finds himself sitting in between the two.

As they start to play, they quickly fall into a good rhythm of jokes and actually playing. Alex finds himself trying to keep up with Henry and Ty who have nearly finished their drinks.

He starts to feel so bubbly and warm, that he has to express it. His only logical thought is to plant a big smooch on each of their cheeks.

They both laugh and give him one back, which fills his already full brain to the max.

After getting mercilessly robbed by both of them over and over, Alex eventually gives up and throws his cards in the air, too intoxicated to care about the game. He’s tired and has other things on his mind, like how nice Henry’s thigh feels pressed against him and Ty’s head on his shoulder.

Henry and Ty, sensing his defeat and exhaustion, give up on the game. They fall into a heap on the couch, all on top of each other.

Alex starts to yawn, and Ty swats at him, “Stop that, you’ll get us all tired.”

Henry tries to come to defense but fails as his face splits open in a yawn and he mutters something into Alex’s neck, lips brushing against his weak spot beneath his ear.

Alex is suddenly very awake and very aware of his situation. He’s got his two new neighbours, who happen to be incredibly kind and stupidly attractive, surrounding him in what can only be referred to as a cuddle puddle. One he had an incredibly flirtatious exchange with earlier, and the other is borderline kissing his neck. He has no clue what any of this means, he is especially concerned with crossing boundaries of Henry and Ty’s pre-existing relationship. He starts to panic in ways he wasn’t sure were possible.

Ty, somehow sensing his inner turmoil, leans over and kindly interrupts his thoughts, “You okay, ‘lex?”

Alex isn’t sure how to answer that question, so he just kind of nods before he shakes his head. Henry, now aware of the situation, removes himself from Alex who suddenly misses his presence.

Looking over at the two of them, Alex watches Ty’s face go through so many emotions.

Henry speaks first, “would it help if we just went to bed and talked about it in the morning when we’re all sober?”

Alex nods, still silent.

Ty nods as well, “Would it help if I told you what I think should happen next?”

Alex says, “I would like that, yeah.”

“I think we should all go cuddle in my bed and fall asleep, wake up with a raging hangover and talk about whatever is going on then” Ty says with confidence.

Henry nods, “seems like a good plan.”

Alex still feels anxious, “I’m not stupid right, like there’s something going on? I really don’t want to mess anything up. Like that’s my nightmare scenario. You guys seem really cool and I’d hate to loose both as friends and make things awkward. And–”

Ty and Henry both cut him off, “You aren’t and won’t mess anything up” Ty reassures.

Henry quickly follows up with, “You’re safe here. No matter what.”

Alex feels tears well in his eyes and tries to go wipe them away but before he can, Ty gently takes his face into their hands and does it for him. Alex can feel Henry’s breath on his shoulder and isn’t surprised when he rests his head on his shoulder.

Feeling surrounded, he finally lets out a deep sigh. “Okay, but just to be clear, you want me to come to bed with you both?”

“Duh, who else would be in the middle?” Ty says as they try to break the tension.

Henry jokes, “I need someone to keep warm, that isn’t just Ty.”

Alex breaths out, feeling the reassurance he was scared to ask for. He lets himself enjoy the feeling of the two of them pressed against him.

Ty gives him a gentle kiss on the forehead before she lets his head go. Henry gives him a kiss on the neck, that may be too much for the current situation, but Alex appreciates it nonetheless.

Smiling again, they all untangle themselves from each other and head towards Ty’s room.

“Should we deal with–” Alex starts.

Ty waves dismissively at the dishes and mess. “It's tomorrow morning's issue.”

Alex nods, now feeling waves of exhaustion wash over him, and allows Henry to guide him towards Ty’s bedroom.

Chapter Text

Henry takes a very adorable and sleepy Alex’s hand and leads him into Ty’s bedroom, where Ty is throwing all her stuffed animals onto the laundry chair.

Once the bed is clear, Henry and Alex collapse on top of each other, Alex’s face buried in the crook of Henry’s neck. Ty laughs at their antics before she falls in beside them and big spoons the two of them, her face buried on the other side of Henry’s neck.

The three of them must make quite a sight and Henry is forever thankful that he’s drunk enough to not get hard right now because Alex is shifting around and making things very difficult for him. Not to mention Ty’s lips brushing against him in such a sensitive place.

Henry is a weak, weak man and having two people he’s just figuring out he wants desperately, surrounding him, is doing things to his brain and dick that he wasn’t sure was possible.

Ty mutters something into his ear that sounds like “finally” but he can’t be sure.

Alex’s breath evens out against his neck as he drifts off incredibly quickly. The drugs and alcohol shutting down his system.

He feels Ty shifting around so he turns and mutters into their hair, “You doing okay?”

They do a half nod before they whisper, “No, I don’t think so.”

“Wanna talk about it?” he offers.

Ty nods, “It feels weird to not have Alex here for this but I need to talk now.”

Henry squeezes them tighter. “We can all talk tomorrow morning but I know you’ll worry yourself to death until then so please speak your mind. You know I’ll never judge you.”

He feels anxious as he waits for Ty to start. Henry knows that their relationship has shifted with Alex entering their lives but he can’t find it in himself to be upset about it. It feels like the right time.

Ty takes a deep breath and starts speaking in a soft, scared tone. “I love you, and you know that but I don’t think you realize what type of love I feel for you. I have had and currently have, which I think is obvious, romantic feelings for you.” They breathe out in a rush.

Henry nods at this confession, “Would you like me to talk now or just let you speak?” he asks.

“Can I just ramble?” Ty asks shyly.

“Of course, love,” Henry feels Ty tense at that pet name.

“I love you, like romantically, and I need you to understand that I still see you as a friend but I want nothing more than to have it be more than that. I know that you’re gay and that I’m a woman, kind of… even though I don’t want to be anymore… And that doesn’t line up perfectly but I can’t keep pretending I don’t want to be with you.”

Ty takes a breath after that confession which Henry is thankful for because his head is swimming with all this information.

After a second of silence, Ty continues but in a calmer tone. “I know that was a lot and I want you to take your time to process everything. The last thing I want to do is rush into anything and fuck something up. Especially because I think I’m going to… Well, I already have feelings for Alex.”

Henry takes a deep breath and tries to think through everything he wants to say, but before he starts, he waits another second to make sure Ty is finished.

Ty mutters something incoherently into his neck, their lips brushing against his neck, sending chills up his spine, electrifying him.

“Can you please repeat that, love?" Henry asks quietly.

“Butallicanthinkaboutishowiwannakissyourightnow” Ty rushes out.

“Oh,” Henry breathes, and he shifts around the best he can to be able to look them in the eye. It’s a bit awkward with Alex on his chest, but they manage to get into a position where they can see each other.

Ty looks like fire right now, a blushing face curtained by flaming red hair. Henry takes one look at them and knows with confidence he won’t miss this opportunity like so many before.

“You can if you’d like to… I would like you to…” Henry says into the air between them.

Ty’s eyes blaze with that confession, confusion overwritten by pure joy.

They breathe out “You won’t regret this in the morning?”

Henry “I don’t think there’s a universe in which I would regret it”.

Ty’s eyes flick down to Henry’s lips, and they move closer. Henry takes that as a sign to lean in fully and connect their lips. As their lips brush, Henry pours all his unresolved feelings into it and he feels like he’s home.

Henry, losing himself into the kiss, opens his mouth and starts to deepen the kiss. Ty brings their hand up to hold Henry’s face as their tongues intertwine. He’s suddenly aware he’s hard against Alex’s thigh and that snaps him out of the haze he was in.

Henry pulls back slightly and Ty breaks off the kiss. Their pupils are blown wide and they have more fire in their eyes than Henry has ever seen before. It hits him just how exactly he loves this person.

They look at each other for a second before diving back in. The kiss speeds up and Ty’s hand slides to his hair, pulling ever so gently at the nape of his neck.

Henry outright moans at that and his chest vibrates against Alex, which reminds him suddenly of the situation they’re in.

This time as he pulls back, Henry says sheepishly, “I’ve got another person on top of me right now, so we should slow down.”

Ty’s eyes dart to Alex’s still sleeping face, and they nod slowly, though the fire lingers in their eyes. Henry, sensing his resolve crumbling, looks up at the ceiling and tries to make the blood flow to his brain and not his cock, which he can feel is the hardest it’s even been against Alex’s thigh.

“If you keep looking at me like that, love. I may do something drastic and wake him up,” Henry glances down to his chest to confirm Alex is sleeping.

Ty moves back slightly, “Yes, sorry. I just have been dreaming of kissing you for months and I don’t want to stop but we really should.”

“No need to apologize, I was the one who started it.” Henry whispers feeling himself drawn towards Ty again.

They both immediately freeze as Alex shifts on top of Henry, who lets out a groan as he feels Alex rub up against his achingly hard cock.

Alex snuffles quietly and starts to stir, “Y’all can keep kissing if you’d like, I’d hate to cock block.”

Henry and Ty stare at Alex for a second, trying to gauge what he meant by that. As Alex opens his eyes, he smiles gently at the two of them.

“Wow, you look like you’re from my wet dreams, right now.” Alex murmurs.

Ty immediately goes to apologize, “I’m so sorr–” but gets cut off by Alex.

“I’m in no way offended or upset, I’m gonna let you guys continue to have your moment.”

Henry speaks next, “Alex, you are more than welcome to join this moment, though you’ve always been a part of it.”

Alex smirks, “Yeah I’ve been a part of it since you got hard against me. Again, not mad, just too tired to join fully.”

Ty looks over at Henry, who’s staring up at the ceiling again. “Aw, did we make you hard?” they tease.

“I’m surrounded by two people from my wet dreams, of course I’m hard.”

Alex shifts cheekily on top of him, fully rubbing down on where Henry’s hard against him.

Henry moans again, this time holding no sound back, his eyes shutting quickly as he fights an inner battle to not let this go any further.

“Ok, I’m making an executive decision, no more talk or action of being horny, I will want to do things that should wait until the morning.” he says.

Alex quickly stops with his pressure at Henry’s words. Ty leans back a bit out of the bubble they’d created, both respecting the boundary.

Henry shudders and starts to count backwards from thirty. He makes it to twenty-three before Alex interrupts him.

“I’m sober and awake enough to consent and Ty is too.” He says in a low voice, “This doesn’t need to stop here if you don’t want it to.”

Henry takes a second to consider, Alex takes this as a rejection, and quickly adds. “This also can end if this is what you want.”

Henry drops his eyes from the ceiling to look at both of them. “I don’t want this to end at all. If you’d both like to continue, I’d like that a lot.”

Ty barely lets him finish his sentence as they say, “God, I want this to continue so bad.”

Alex smiles big and nods. “I want to make you cum if that's okay?”

Henry’s dick throbs at the thought, and he lets out a guttural moan.

Before he loses all the blood to his brain, he gets out, “I use the traffic light system and I want you both to touch me so bad.”

Alex looks up at him, pupils blown out. “Red for stop,” he starts

Ty picks it up, “Yellow for slow down and talk”

Henry finishes it, “Green for yes.”

Ty leans in close again and says in a voice that nearly makes Henry cum in his pants, “What colour are you, Hen?”

“So, so, so green. Touch me, please,” He breathes.

In an instant, he feels Ty’s hand back on his face and Alex shifts off him. He tries to grab on to Alex, keeping them flush together but Alex murmurs into his ear, “I’ve got an idea.”

Henry nods enthusiastically at that confession, but is quickly interrupted by Ty’s lips back on his.

They kiss deeply, exploring each other, and Henry can’t help but moan.

“That’s right baby, make all the noise you want.” Alex encourages.

Henry feels that Alex is now on his side, leg resting on Henry’s lower thigh. Alex’s hard cock pressed up against Henry’s thigh.

Henry tries to move and feel more but Alex quickly shuts it down. “Tonight is about you, baby. Don’t worry about me.” he whispers seductively into Henry’s ear.

Ty pulls away from the kiss just long enough to ask, “Can I touch you properly? I want to feel you.”

Henry can barely think but he gets out, “please, green. Just, I… I need you both.”

Alex places his hand on Henry’s chest, and slides it down as Ty puts their hand on his hip and starts to inch lower.

The two seem to move in sync as they get closer and closer to where Henry wishes so desperately they’d touch him. He can’t help but to verbalize it.

“Please, god. Touch me.” He moans, “I want to feel you”.

Alex leans in and starts to kiss Henry's neck which tears a near-scream out of him.

Ty takes his begging as instruction and slides their hand onto Henry’s aching cock.

Even just the light touch over clothes has Henry seeing stars. He starts to move beneath them, seeking more friction but Alex stops him.

“Just hold still, baby, we’ve got you” Alex’s deep, rich voice speaks truthfully.

Ty grips Henry firmly through his clothes at Alex’s word, and Henry struggles to keep his hips still as their hand starts to move.

“Can I touch you bare?” Ty says in a destroyed voice.

Henry whimpers at that, “Uh-huh”.

Alex laughs, “We’ve really got him lost for words.”

Henry goes to defend himself but at the same time, Alex lifts the waistband of his boxers up, allowing Ty to slide their hand in and onto his cock.

The skin to skin contact has Henry thrusting his hips up, desperate for more. Alex pushes down on his hip, stopping him which makes Henry let out a noise that he didn’t know he was capable of making.

“It’s okay, baby” he says into Henry’s neck, “they’ve got you.”

All Henry can do is nod as Ty’s hand begins to stroke up and down. It’s a bit dry but with how hard he’s been for how long, there’s plenty of precum to help their hand glide.

Ty pulls back from his neck, and whispers into the air, “I can’t wait to get my mouth on you, love. I’ve been dreaming of gagging on your cock.”

Henry isn’t the only one who moans at that, Alex thrusts up into his hips at Ty’s seductive words, in search of his own release.

Ty’s hand falls into the perfect rhythm for Henry as they stroke him. Alex’s hand lowers to touch the base of the cock of the whining man beneath him.

Henry howls as he feels two hands touching him, he huffs out, “I’m not going to last if you keep this up.”

As if that’s a challenge, he feels both the hands continue their mischief.

Groaning, Henry tosses his head around. He knows that he is going to cum embarrassingly fast but the build up of tension had him so wired that he needed this more than he could have ever explained.

“Please, love, keep going” Henry whimpers as he brushes his lips against Ty. They can’t really kiss properly as Henry can barely breath right now.

The perfect timing happens as Ty rubs right under the head of his cock as Alex tugs at the base. The two hands working in tandem bring Henry to a long and fierce release.

As Henry coats their hands in cum, he’s making so many sounds he can’t even tell what they are. He’s pretty sure he’s thanking them and praising them but it could all be incoherent babbling.

Alex and Ty stroke Henry to the end of his climax before slowly retracting their hands off of him, not wanting to overstimulate the mess that is Henry.

Somewhere in the back of Henry’s brain, there’s a voice shouting about his boxes being soaked with cum, but he ignores it in favour of letting out a final moan.

He shifts as both hands leave him, trying to regain his senses. Alex continues to kiss up and down his neck, occasionally sucking and biting on Henry's ear.

Ty takes their cum covered hand and brings it to Henry’s mouth and without thinking, Henry takes it into his mouth, sucking and licking up his mess.

Withdrawing his face from Henry’s neck, Alex moans and thrusts his hips into Henry’s thigh.

If Henry had an ounce of brain cells left, he’d be thinking about how he wants to take care of Alex and Ty but he’s too busy sucking his own cum off his partner's hand.

Cumdrunk and satiated, Henry sighs. Ty places a kiss on the bridge of his nose and then one on his forehead.

Alex clears his throat, “Are you clean Henry cause I’d really like to know what you taste like.”

Henry manages to form enough words to say, “Yeah, I got tested after my last partner. I’ve got the results on my phone.”

Ty murmurs out a laugh, “I’ve seen them, he showed me as he celebrated.”

Alex, now with full confidence, licks up a stripe up his palm collecting some of Henry’s cum. Henry watches as Alex tastes him and he feels his dick twitch in interest.

What truly captures his mind is how hard Alex is against him. He wants to bring pleasure to both him and Ty but he feels like he’s made out of jello.

Ty speaks first, voicing Henry’s exact thought, “I’m soaking wet after that and I’m sure Alex is in a similar boat.”

Alex chuckles and ruts against Henry again as Ty continues, “I would like to touch myself if that’s good with you,” they direct at Henry and Alex.

Both men let out similar groans at the thought of that. “Please, love, touch yourself if that’s what you’d like.” Henry moans.

Henry feels Alex’s hips twitch uncontrollably against him as Alex says, “Hen, baby, I can cum just like this but I want to make sure you’re okay.”

Feeling incredibly cared for, Henry smiles and says, “I’m all green for you to use me.”

Alex moans at the wording, “don’t give me more ideas”.

Ty lets out a moan, directly into Henry’s ear, as they slide their hand into their boxers. Their moan is directly followed by a wet sound that has Alex’s hips jumping up and pressing furiously against Henry’s hip.

The wet sounds continue as the bed creaks with Alex’s movement. Henry’s cock is truly considering a second round but isn’t quite there yet.

Ty moans again, “I can’t wait to feel you both, I need you in me so bad.”

Alex lets out a tiny whine followed by a deep groan as his hips shudder and then still against Henry. Alex’s face is scrunched up as he comes down from his high.

Henry feels a slight stickiness against his thigh, reminding him of the less than sexy aftercare that’s going to be needed.

That line of thought is interrupted by another of Ty’s moans. Henry can feel their body trembling against his as they rub their clit.

Henry is surrounded by the scent of sex and the mingling of hot breath. Alex is trying to regain his breath after an orgasm that clearly took him by surprise.

Ty’s rambling overpowers Alex’s breathing quickly. “Oh god, oh my god. I’m gonna cum…” They moan as they continue to pleasure themselves. “Please, god. I need to cum– Oh my god” they shout.

Ty is an absolute sight as they start to climax, even in his cum-brained state, Henry can appreciate their beauty and passion. Their moans are like a symphony performance and he knows that Alex is right there in the seat beside him.

Ty’s back arches and thighs shake as they continue to touch themselves through their climax, all the while moaning.

There’s a second of stillness after Ty’s climax finishes. For a second, there feels like there’s a suffocating silence enveloping them all before Alex breaks it with a giggle.

Ty joins in quickly as Henry is still recovering from this religious experience.

Feeling their bodies shake against him, Henry finally joins in.

They laugh together as they all shift around, until the stickiness and uncomfortability of the situation hits.

Henry is the first to form words, “What would you like in terms of aftercare. I personally need a wipe down and some cuddles.”

He feels both Alex and Ty nod against him, but Henry feels the urge to check in further. “Still green?” He asks.

Ty simply nods, and Henry begins to understand that they may be going non-verbal, as they sometimes do.

Alex speaks up, “My underwear are uncomfortably wet and I think there may be some of my cum on the sheets and your thigh so I’m going to get up super quick and grab a cloth.”

Henry shoots him a thankful look as he peppers kisses into Ty’s hair.

Alex clues into the situation, “Ty, baby, is it okay if I go get some stuff to clean us up or would you like me to stay.” he asks kindly.

Ty takes a deep breath and says in a tiny voice, “It’s okay if you need to go, just please come back.”

Henry squeezes them tight as Alex responds, “Of course, I’ll be back in a jiffy.”

Watching as Alex gets up and walks towards the bathroom, Henry shifts to hold Ty in his arms fully.

Appreciating the new position, Ty gets comfortable.

“Before you fall asleep, love, do you need to be cleaned up at all?”

He feels them shake their head no, and Henry accepts that answer.

The door creaks open as Alex steps back into the room, a pack of baby wipes in hand. He points towards the wipes and Henry gives him a thumbs up. Alex turns slightly as he cleans himself up, only breaking the silence to ask, “I can’t sleep in these boxers, is it okay if I’m naked tonight?”

Henry responds, “of course, get comfortable. Ty, are you good with that?”

Ty nods against him and then burrows in deeper.

Henry knows he needs to get himself cleaned up as well, so once Alex is cleaned up and back over by the bed, he gestures for the other man to lie down on the other side of Ty.

Alex is quick to slide into the bed, and positions himself as a big spoon around Ty who lets out a happy sigh.

Henry mutters into Ty’s hair, “Is it okay if I get up now, love? Alex is gonna stay with you.”

Ty nods again and Henry takes that cue to extract himself as delicately as he can from the bed.

He walks over to where Alex set down the wet wipes and does a quick wipe down and shucks off his t-shirt and boxers. Henry feels exposed as he walks over, but Alex gives him a look that makes him feel so treasured and hot that the thought slips from his mind.

Henry crawls back into bed and the three of them form together once again. It hits him all at once that this is everything he ever could have wanted and it’s just the beginning.

He drifts off quickly, letting himself be comforted by the thought of talking this through in the morning.

Chapter Text

Ty listens to Henry and Alex breathe, as they both drift off. Their mind is swimming with what just unfolded. They’re ecstatic about the changes in their relationship but also aware that they seriously need to talk. Worrying about potentially having crossed a line, they lie still, wrapped up in Henry and Alex, overthinking everything.

They do what they do best, make a list of the facts.

1. They kissed Henry, and it was the best kiss of their entire life. It felt like the sun collapsed into them.
2. They didn’t kiss Alex, the timing and positioning never being right. This bugs Ty as they didn’t want to leave Alex out like that.
3. Ty confessed their feelings to Henry, and potentially Alex, and it went way better than they could have expected. Henry received the information well but it is still something they have to talk through in the morning.
4. Ty mentioned that they maybe aren’t a woman anymore and knows that they’ll need to unpack that more later.
5. They made Henry cum, with Alex’s help. It was so erotic to touch him with someone else. Feeling their hand getting coated in release made it all the better.
6. They watched Alex hump Henry’s thigh to completion, which will be a wet dream of theirs from now until the day they die.
7. Alex and Henry watched as they made themself cum, the wet sounds embarrassingly loud.
8. When Ty dropped after sex, Henry and Alex were both there instantly and took care of them so well.
9. There is still anxiety in their body and Ty knows that it won't leave until the morning.

Henry shifts against their back and slides a hand into their hair, massaging it at the roots. “Stop overthinking, love, I can hear it.”

Ty lets out a light chuckle and tries to get their brain to calm down. They drift off with Henry’s hand in their hair, scratching gently at their scalp.

--

When Ty stirs next, they feel a pressing urge to pee. As they start to shift to get up, Alex stirs next to them.

“Going somewhere, baby.” he asks.

The pet name short circuits Ty’s brain for a second as they go to respond, “Yeah, I need to pee.”

“Need me to let you out,” Alex offers.

Ty nods sheepishly, and Alex pulls away and gets out of bed. Following behind, leaving a peacefully sleeping Henry alone, Ty gets up.

Now that they are standing, they make their way towards the bathroom quickly. Alex laughs at their speed but lets them do their thing.

As the door gently shuts behind them, Ty takes a breath and notices that they look happier and well rested in a way they haven’t before. Smiling back at their reflection, they attend to business and wash their hands.

Coming out of the bathroom, they see Alex, still fully naked, drinking a glass of water by the couch. He’s checking his phone but looks up when Ty comes in.

“How are you feeling,” he asks kindly.

“Feeling great, better than I have in ages. How are you?” they respond, walking over to him.

Alex opens his arms and Ty slides right in. “I’m fucking fabulous however I do need to shower before too long. Care to join me?”

Ty nods enthusiastically into his chest and feels it vibrate with Alex’s laugh.

Separating themselves, Ty walks towards the bathroom, pulling Alex along.

Once they shut the door to the bathroom, Ty leans over to grab a spare towel. They may be purposefully shoving their ass right into Alex but judging by his sharp intake, he doesn’t mind at all.

Ty turns around and sets the towel down on the counter. They look at each other for a second before Alex speaks.

“I’d very much like to kiss you right now but I know we haven’t talked yet.” he says shyly.

Ty steps closer, placing both their hands onto his chest. “I think you should, and it’s another thing we can talk about later.” they say, looking up through their lashes at him.

Alex smiles cheekily, and leans down, firmly planting his lips on theirs. The kiss is brief as they pull back after a few seconds.

Ty looks up at Alex, questioning if they did something wrong but sees Alex looking at them like they are the hottest person ever. The gaze alone has Ty gently pushing Alex against the door and connecting their lips again.

This time, the kiss is far from gentle and soft, as it quickly heats up and gets passionate. Tongues against tongues, lips and teeth meeting, they explore each other’s mouths.

Alex pulls back for a second, “Henry won’t mind that we’re doing this without him, right?”

Smiling at his consideration, they say lightly, “I know for a fact that he is dead asleep and that we’d face pain of death upon waking him up.”

“You sure he won't mind, I don't want to cross a line before establishing what they are,” Alex confesses.

Ty puts their hands on his hips and pulls him in tight. “I don’t think a little bit of kissing and showering will cross any lines, with or without Henry.”

Alex looks satisfied with that answer and lets himself get pulled against Ty’s smaller frame.

Their lips reconnect and they pick up right where they left off, this time with hands wandering a bit.

Alex touches Ty’s hips and back, keeping them close together, while Ty touches his chest, hips and eventually, squeezes his butt lightly.

Pulling back slightly, Ty mutters against Alex’s lips, “This okay?” and Alex simply responds, “yeah, of course.”

Now, with a bit more freedom to roam, Ty’s hands touch Alex all over, enjoying the feeling of toned muscle beneath.

They shift together slightly, and Ty is suddenly very aware of Alex’s hard-on that is leaking against their stomach.

Ty pulls back, smiling at Alex. “Would you care for some help with that?” they ask, gesturing downwards.

Alex nods before asking, “Is that okay? What are you comfortable doing?”

They don’t answer right away and instead turn around to start the shower, before stripping off their tanktop and bending over to take off their shorts.

Feeling Alex’s gaze against their back, especially on their now bare ass, they look over their shoulder and say, “I’d quite like to get on my knees for you.”

Alex jaw drops and he nods pathetically, cock bobbing in the air.

Noticing, Ty grins and asks, “You clean? I’ve got condoms right here but I’d like to taste you.”

Alex quickly nods, jumping into action to grab his phone from the counter. He quickly types something in and hands it over to Ty.

A quick look at the screen confirms that Alex tested negative for everything and Ty smiles widely.

“C’mon loverboy, get in” they say as they step into the shower, tying up their hair.

Alex is quick behind them, shutting the door and taking action to press Ty up against the opposing wall, careful to not knock any bottles over.

Ty hisses as their back touches the cold tile but that’s quickly cut off with a kiss. They slide their hands up into Alex’s hair and tug gently.

At that, Alex’s knees buckle and he moans loudly into their mouth. He manages to quickly regain his balance as Ty touches down his chest and towards his straining cock.

Ty, now with a goal in mind, goes to get down on their knees, but is stopped by Alex.

“Everything okay?” they ask.

Alex nods, “I just think we should get clean before we get too distracted and you turn me into a puddle of goo.”

Ty smiles, and turns around, purposefully brushing their ass against Alex’s cock.

Laughing at the groan that echoes through the bathroom, they grab their body wash and direct Alex more into the spray.

“Would you like me to wash you? I promise I won’t just skip to the good part.” They ask.

Alex quickly responds, “Can I wash you first? I know once you get your hands on me I won’t be much help.”

“Of course, baby. I’d love that.” Ty nods.

Alex takes the body wash from Ty’s hand and pours some into his hand. Before he touches them, Alex asks, “I can touch you everywhere?”

“Anywhere but don’t use that soap around my holes or my face, please.”

Alex looks so focused on the task at hand that Ty has to hold back from pulling him into another kiss. He’s just too cute.

Starting with their arms, Alex rubs soap into their skin as the shower fills with the scent of lavender.

Working his way on to their chest, he starts to wash around their boobs, but avoiding their nipples.

“You can touch me however you like,” Ty reminds him.

Alex nods, understanding what they mean, “I know I’m just saving that for last.” as he gestures for Ty to spin around.

He runs the soap down their back and onto their butt, where he does start to get a bit more handsy with them.

Alex mutters something to himself that Ty can’t fully catch over the sound of the water but they think he said something in Spanish.

Ty relaxes into Alex’s touch as he massages their shoulders and back.

“Is it okay if I leave you to do the rest, it might be a bit awkward” Alex laughs.

Ty nods and cups their hand out, asking for soap. Once they have enough, they start to wash their legs, and under their arms.

It’s a quick job and once it's done, they let the water wash off the soap before reaching down between their thighs.

They do their best to clean their holes in a sexy way and judging by Alex’s moan, it’s working.

Once satisfied with how clean they are, they lead Alex back into the spray.

“Please don't get my hair wet, that’s a problem I don’t want to solve right now.”

Ty laughs and angles the shower head to avoid any accidental splashing.

Grabbing the soap, they start to wash Alex in the same pattern that he did to them; arms first, then chest followed by his back.

Alex is making gentle humming sounds as he leans into Ty’s touch.

Ty interrupts his bliss, “Would you like to do your legs and anywhere else before I turn you into a puddle of goo?”

Alex nods and quickly washes his ass, around his cock and does a quick wipe of his legs.

Ty sets the bottle of soap down on the shelf before pulling out a bath pillow to kneel on. They’ve angled themselves in a way that has Alex’s back blocking the spray of water from hitting them.

“I knew this would come in handy at some point,” They laugh.

Alex, harder than he’s ever been in his life, just nods.

“Would you like me to start, love?” Ty asks gently.

Alex nods vigorously, “Please do. It’s gonna be over quick. I’ll warn you before I cum if you don’t want to swallow.”

Shaking their head, they say, “I want to taste you, baby.”

Alex moans as Ty’s hands start to creep up his thighs, and then over and around to his ass, squeezing it again.

He thrusts his hips forward by reflex and somehow Ty manages to catch his cock in their mouth.

Alex tries his best to keep his eyes open, to enjoy the sight but it quickly becomes too much.

Ty moans around his cock as their hand goes to stroke the base.

Alex slides his hands into their hair and just holds it gently, not forcing them anywhere.

Bobbing and swallowing around Alex, Ty feels so peaceful, just enjoying pleasuring the Adonis before them.

Moaning louder, Alex’s cock starts to twitch inside their mouth, and Ty realizes that he’s close already.

Impressed with their own skill, Ty deepthroats him, which rips an unholy sound from somewhere in the back of Alex’s throat.

“I’m so close, oh god.” Alex starts to babble, “That’s it, right there, baby”.

Ty takes more time to focus on the head while their hand strokes the base, working in sync to bring Alex to the edge.

Alex can’t seem to keep his mouth shut, which is making Ty impossibly turned on.

“Please, baby, I wanna cum in your mouth, please, I need it so bad” Alex rambles.

Ty takes him to the root again and feels Alex twitch one last time in their mouth before flooding it with a thick musky taste.

Not usually a fan of the taste of cum, Ty is pleasantly surprised that they enjoy Alex’s taste. They swallow as much as they can before they pull back and let the few finals ropes land across their face.

Alex, looking down on the sight, groans again and brings his hand to his cock to hold it near the base.

“God, baby. Fuck you’re a vision,” he murmers.

Ty smiles up at him, satisfied with their work. “You look incredibly hot when you cum, and you taste fucking fantastic.” They say with a slightly gravely voice.

Alex helps them to their feet, and they both laugh at Ty’s wobbly legs.

Wrapping them up in his arms and giving them a squeeze, Alex speaks softly into their ear, “Would you like to cum?”

Ty shakes their head, “There will be time for that later, and we should get out of the shower before we wrinkle up.”

Laughing together, they step out and start to dry off. Ty quickly washes their face and does some basic skin care.

Alex gets distracted by his phone buzzing on the counter. He chuckles as he reads something.

“My sister and her girlfriend think I’ve been kidnapped and turned into a sex slave because I didn’t respond instantly.” he laughs.

Ty, turning around trying to keep a straight face, says “Well, you have, you’re our sex slave now”.

They barely make it through the sentence before bursting out laughing, Alex joins in instantly.

Still giggling, Ty hangs their towel up and gestures for Alex to do the same.

They walk out of the bathroom and Ty sighs at the mess in the living room. “I know I said it would be a tomorrow-me problem but I kinda hate past me for this.”

Alex chuckles quietly, “Yeah but too be fair, we would have made much more of a mess if we tried to clean up last night.”

Nodding in agreement, Ty opens their bedroom door to see Henry still asleep, peacefully snoring.

Ty walks over to their closet and puts on another skimpy tank top and a pair of boxers. They look over their shoulder at Alex, who is seemingly transfixed with watching Henry sleep.

Whispering, Ty asks, “Want anything to wear?”

Alex nods, “Do you have anything that will fit me?”

Ty grabs a pair of oversized boxers and throws them at Alex, who catches them and puts them on. He nearly falls over in the process and Ty lets out a laugh.

The burst of noise seems to be enough to wake up Henry, who sighs and rolls over, stretching like a cat before opening his eyes.

“Good morning, princess” Ty greets him.

Henry’s morning voice is always a shock when they hear it and today is no different. His deep and gravely voice murmurs, “What time is it?”

Alex responds, “Just about 8:40”

“Ewwww,” Henry responds. “It’s my day off, I wanna sleep.”

Ty knows exactly how to wake him up, “Debbie’s is open right now and I’ll pay”

In a flash, Henry is sitting up, looking very alert. Alex cackles at the sudden change.

“You better not be joking about Debbie’s,” Henry says.

Responding in a serious tone, Ty says “I’d never joke about Debbie’s. C’mon let’s get dressed”

Chapter Text

Since the moment he woke up, Alex has been over the moon and insanely confused. It’s a weird mix of feelings and it’s weighing heavily on him.

He tries (and fails) to not stare at either Henry’s naked form as he gets up, fully sporting morning wood that has Alex’s mouth watering, or Ty, who’s changing again into something more appropriate for whatever Debbie’s is.

Alex’s dick starts to fill but his anxiety quickly shuts it down. He’s aware that they need to talk but watching Henry and Ty interact as they get up, makes him question if after this talk, he’d still be included in whatever is going on.

Pushing that anxiety down and attempting to focus on getting ready, Alex says, “I’m just gonna run next door and grab my wallet and some clothes, I’ll be back in a second.”

Henry joins him on the way to the door and grabs his hand. “I didn’t get a chance to kiss you last night and I don’t think I can wait any longer.” he murmurs, aligning their bodies and starting to close the gap.

Alex feels too many emotions at once but manages to get out a “yes, please do.”

As their lips connect, it alights something in Alex that immediately quells his worries. Henry kisses him deeply and their tongues brush slightly before they hear a wolf whistle coming from the bedroom, where Ty is cheering.

Moving backwards, Alex starts to pull away before Henry catches his head in his hands, and stares him in the eyes.

Speaking gently into the air between them, Henry reassures Alex. “You’re okay, we’re okay, everything is okay.”

Alex smiles and presses a quick kiss into Henry’s lips. As he pulls back, Henry chases him for a final kiss.

Once they’ve disconnected, Alex giggles to himself, letting the giddyness overtake him.

“Okay, I should really go put on clothes before I decide to take yours off.” Alex says to Henry.

Giving him a heated look, Henry nods and shouts over his shoulder to Ty, “Meet downstairs in 10 minutes?”

Ty gives a big thumbs up and they all go their separate ways.

--

Once Alex is back in his apartment, he’s hit again with anxiety. He tries his best to fight through it as he pulls on some cute but comfy clothes and brushes his teeth. It really hits him when he can’t find where he placed his wallet. He thought he left it on the counter but it’s not there.

Alex is growing more and more upset and he tries to think about what June would say. He focuses on his breathing and reminds himself that he has a tracker in his wallet. Pulling out his phone, he sees that the group chat with June and Nora has blown up since he sent his last message.

Alex (8:34 AM): I have been turned into a sex slave
Alex (8:35 AM): I’m not joking…
Nora (8:35 AM): WHAT??????
Junebug (8:35 AM): I’m so curious but so scared
Nora (8:36 AM): Is it to do with your hot neighbours? Please say yes
Nora (8:36 AM): I need details alejandro
Junebug (8:37): and I don’t so please remember that
Nora (8:37 AM): Ignore her, give me the deets
Nora (8:39 AM): stop ignoring us in favour of your hot neighbors
Junebug (8:40): Ignore her, enjoy your new friends(?)

Alex laughs and types back

Alex (8:50 AM): it does have to do with my hot neighbours who I did just hook up with
Alex (8:50 AM): we’re about to go out for breakfast and talk about wtf just happened
Alex (8:51 AM): i'm scared but also insanely happy and pretty hopeful this turns out to be something good
Nora (8:52 AM): YAY!!!
Nora (8:52 AM): Happy for you!!
Nora (8:52 AM): get it king
Junebug (8:53 AM): congrats but also keep the details to yourself plz and thank you
Alex (8:54 AM): I’ll call Nora later and give details and then she can give you the PG-13 version

There’s a soft knock on the door and Ty’s voice floats through the crack. “Hey Alex, I’m just about to head down, you ready?”

Alex realizes that he still hasn’t found his wallet as he walks over to the door.

“Shit,” he whispers to himself, pulling out his phone to use his tracker app.

“I’ll be down in a second, just finding my wallet”, he shouts.

The door creaks open as Ty sticks their head in, “Need help looking?” they offer.

Alex looks up from his phone and nods sheepishly. “I’m using my tracker app and it’s not loading,” he says.

Ty walks in, surveying the piles of boxes, “Henry and I can help you unpack after breakfast if you’d like. We both have Monday’s off.”

Alex smiles at their kindness, “I’d really appreciate that, thank you” he says softly.

Walking up to him, Ty wraps their arms around his waist, pulling him in for a hug. “Of course, baby. We’re always here to help.”

Alex feels a tightness in his chest at the pet name and he can’t explain why.

His phone beeps as the tracker app finally loads a big arrow pointing towards his bedroom. Ty steps out of the embrace and gestures for Alex to go first, “you’ve got the map” they joke.

As soon as he steps into the room, he sees his wallet on a stack of boxes and all Alex can do is facepalm.

“I swear I looked there…” he says embarrassed.

Ty grabs his hand and squeezes it, “Sometimes the things we’re looking for are right in front of us and we can’t see them.”

It sounds like they’re talking about something else but Alex lets it slide. Grabbing his wallet, he lets Ty pull him out of his apartment, locking the door behind him.

Henry is standing at the bottom of the stairs, fully illuminated by the morning sun. He looks enchanting and Ty gives his hand another squeeze as Alex loses his breath.

“You don’t get used to it,” they whisper in his ear before gently tapping his ass to get Alex to go down the stairs.

Henry looks up as the two of them descend, a bright smile plastered across his face. “Good morning beautiful” he says to both of them, now looking wide awake.

Henry is dressed similarly to Alex, in colourful shorts and a white button down. Ty is more dressed down with a brightly patterned wrap top and long jean shorts.

“Alright, slowpokes, do you want me to drive?” Henry asks.

“Yes please,” Ty responds, “Alex can DJ and I’ll give directions like always” they say with a laugh.

Alex is now very confused where they’re going so he takes a second to ask.

The response he gets from Ty is “You’ll just have to wait and see.”

Henry leads them over to his car, a small little hatchback and he jumps in the drivers seat.

“Should I be concerned that the british guy is driving on American roads? Like are you gonna drive on the wrong side?” Alex jokes.

As Henry responds sarcastically “yes, I will”, Ty laughs.

Alex looks confused when Ty slides into the back seat and sits in the middle. Henry calls out to Alex, “you coming, passenger princess?”

He takes that as his cue to hop into the passenger seat.

As he buckles his seatbelt, Henry turns on the car and hands him an aux cord.

A wave of panic hits Alex as he’s not sure what to play so he goes for something he knows will get the mood right. He clicks play on Campus by Vampire Weekend as Henry reverses out of the driveway.

--

It’s a short drive to wherever they’re going and Alex takes time between his DJing duties to enjoy the scenery. He won’t have a car once he returns the U-Haul tomorrow so he’s excited to be going somewhere he won’t be able to walk to.

Henry, thankfully, is driving on the right side of the road and pulls into a gravel parking lot of what seems to be a beach side park. There’s a bright food truck at the other end, closest to the water, brightly displaying the name ‘Debbie’s’.

Alex immediately falls in love with this vibe. Ty jumps out of the car as it rolls to a start and Henry is quick to follow, with Alex right behind him.

There’s a few other people milling about beside the food truck and the trio is quick to join them.

Alex is trying to find the menu but he quickly realizes that there isn’t one. He bumps Henry’s shoulder and asks, “How do I order?”

Herny laughs and Ty chimes in, “Oh, you don’t” they say simply.

Alex is even more confused now but Henry quickly comes to his rescue and explains that “It’s the kind of place where you get what you get. It’s always fresh and good.”

The smell of the food does confirm that this is going to be a magical experience but Alex needs to know there’s coffee involved.

“There will be some form of caffeine right?” he asks.

Henry nods, “They usually just serve strong Turkish coffee.”

It’s now their turn to order and Ty takes the lead. “Hey-a Marsh, I’ll have three of whatever you’d like to give me. Oh, and two coffees, please”.

The man, who looks like he’d be called Marsh, nods silently and sticks out his hand towards Ty who hands over three $5 bills.

Ty steps out of the line, and Henry and Alex follow behind.

“That’s it?” Alex asks.

Ty snickers, “Oh just wait and see”.

It takes less than 2 minutes before a short kid comes running up from around the truck carrying a big tray with two styrofoam cups of strong-smelling coffee and three boxes of food.

Ty greets the kid, “Hey Jay, how’s your summer?” and the kid just gives a toothy grin.

Henry hands Alex a box of food and a cup of coffee, all of which smells delicious, and makes towards a nearby picnic table.

They settle down at the table and Ty reaches into their purse and pulls out 3 forks.

“Why do you have forks?” Alex asks, confused.

Ty laughs, “I also have spoons and knives if you'd prefer. Marsh isn’t a big fan of cutlery so you have to bring your own.”

Henry takes a fork and begins to eat like a starved man, barely breathing as he inhales the food.

Alex smiles at him when Henry turns to him, cheeks stuffed like chipmunks.

Opening the container, Alex sees that there’s a hard boiled egg, cut open and covered in spices, something that’s halfway between home fries and mashed potatoes and some tender looking pulled pork.

Needing to know what all the hype is about, Alex takes his first bite and stifles an inappropriate moan when he tastes it.

There are no words to describe the food, it’s everything anyone could ever want from a meal, which is saying a lot because Alex knows good food.

For once in his life, it doesn’t even cross his mind to add hot sauce to anything.

They all sit in silence as they inhale their food, only taking breaks to drink their coffee or water.

Henry is the first to finish and he lets out an undignified belch, which is far too funny.

Alex and Ty finish at roughly the same time, both feeling stuffed to the brim.

There’s a moment of silence before they all start to speak at the same time.

Alex was about to talk about the food but gestures for the other two to speak first.

Henry gives Ty a look and they nod at each other, Alex feels left out of a non-verbal conversation but that’s quickly washed away as Ty says softly, “Are we ready to talk? We can wait a bit but we shouldn’t put it off for too much longer.”

Henry nods, “I was thinking the same thing. What were you about to say Alex?” he asks.

Alex feels his stomach drop at the idea of having to face his feelings and potential rejection.

“Oh it was nothing, just about the food” Alex answers.

Ty smiles, “It’s really good, right? I knew you’d like it.”

Henry looks a bit peaky, and Alex takes notice quickly.

“You okay, Hen?” He asks as gently as possible.

Henry nods, “I just need to say some things before I collapse into a food coma.”

Ty clasps their hands together, “Okay, would you like to go first, Hen?”

Alex nods and gestures to Henry to start.

Taking a deep breath, Henry begins, “I know this is crazy, I know this may be stupid and completely out of line but I want you both desperately and I cannot pretend otherwise.”

Alex’s heart beats faster at the confession.

“I know I’ve only known you, Alex, for less than twenty-four hours but you’ve already made a place for yourself in my heart and I need you to stay. I want to explore our connection and get to know you in all the ways possible.”

Knowing his expression is written clear as day on his face, Alex looks at Henry.

“I want that too,” Alex replies.

“And Ty, I’ve known you for longer but I want to know you in a different light now.”

Ty nods, “Just to make sure we’re on the same page, that’s a romantic light right?” they ask.

Henry smiles, “Yes, a romantic one. Same goes for you Alex. I want to have both of you, at the same time, all the time. And I know that makes me greedy but it won’t feel right otherwise.”

Ty interjects, “It doesn’t make you greedy, it makes you ours.” they say, gesturing between themself and Alex.

“Ours, I like the sound of that,” Alex says, growing in confidence that this conversation isn’t going to end in rejection.

Smiling broadly at him, Ty says, “Alex, would you like to talk next or do you want me to go?”

“Can you go first please, I’m still processing.” Alex admits.

Henry reaches over and intertwines his hand with Alex’s to give it a squeeze.

Ty starts, “I have feelings, romantic feelings, for you both. I know you know that and I want you to know that I will always see us as equals. I know that Alex, you may hold some insecurity around not knowing us for as long, but I want you to know that this is new and fresh to all of us.”

Alex lets out a breath he wasn’t aware he was holding, and takes Ty’s hand to give it a squeeze, much like Henry did to him.

Continuing on, Ty says “I want to wake up surrounded by you guys and fall asleep the next night beside you. I want breakfasts and fights and everything that comes in between. I want it all. I know that some people may view that as greedy but I don't care. I want to love you both in a way that cannot be defined by other’s expectations.”

Alex and Henry nod along.

“I know this could go badly but I have faith that we can sort out any issues we have as long as we continue to be open and honest and communicate when things make us feel bad. I know that saying that is a lot easier than doing it, but I have full confidence in us to keep up what we’ve been doing already.”

Ty takes a deep breath, “Okay, Alex, if you’re ready, I’d like you to speak, I can tell you’ve got a lot on your mind.”

Alex isn’t sure where to start as he knows he’s going to ramble no matter what. He looks at Henry, then at Ty, and realizes for the first time ever, that they won’t judge him for his rambling and actively wants to hear it.

Clearing his throat, Alex begins, “I know we literally met 18 hours ago, but in that time, I’ve never felt more comfortable with anyone. I know I’m taking a risk, and that you two are too, but this feels like a risk worth taking. I’ve had serious anxiety since last night about interfering with your current relationship with each other and I just want to hear that it’s okay for me to join you guys, I guess.” he trails off as he waits with baited breath for a response.

Ty and Henry give him the exact same look, a look of fierce confidence and care, and just like that, all that anxiety drifts away.

Henry says, “I think Ty said it and I’ll reiterate it: you aren’t joining anything existing, you are starting something new with us.”
Nodding, Ty adds “Henry and I were just friends before yesterday, granted we were both sitting on our feelings but we were just friends. You were the catalyst for our romantic realization which makes you equally important to us.”

Alex feels tears well in his eyes, which takes him by surprise. He’s not much of a crier, and only ever in front of June and Nora, and it hits him that he feels safe here. Safe with them.

Ty and Henry join hands as well as Alex squeeze them both. “I didn’t let myself think that wanting two people was okay,” Alex says in a broken voice.

“I know it’s going to take time for us to build our relationship and I just want to be honest from the start that I’m a bit of a mess. I can’t remember things, I get so focused that I forget who I am sometimes and I have a habit of fucking everything up.” Alex confesses.

Henry gives him a squeeze back and Ty hums, both letting him continue.

“I just don't want to end up in a place where I lose you both and I’m alone here. I was so afraid to come all the way out here and not know anyone but you guys have been nothing but sweet and caring and loving in a way that I couldn't have dreamed of… I just don't want you to be alone anymore.”

Alex can’t bring himself to look up from where he’s studying the wood grain of the picnic table. He’s afraid that he’s scared them away with his confession. His thoughts are quickly spiraling and he feels his body start to move without his brain, attempting to get up.

Henry grips his hand tighter, not letting him leave while Ty takes their hand and brings it to Alex’s chin, bringing his face up to look at them.

Ty speaks softly, “I have a feeling that you’ve been left alone for a lot of your life and that is something I want to know about you, maybe not right now, but definitely later. I care about you, Alex. I would never put you in a position where you’d be alone or unsafe. I hope you know that I’m so fucking dead serious about that.”

Henry nods, “I’ve known you for such little time, love, and I already know I’m not letting you go anywhere. I’ll be a little sea urchin, stuck to you. You can’t scare us away. I know that you think you’ve done that before but I promise that won’t happen with us.” Henry reassures him.

Alex feels the tears fall from his eyes and he goes to wipe them away, but neither of them let go of his hands.

“I want you to say that you understand what we’re saying, love.” Ty asks.

Alex nods, “I do, it just feels too good to be true.”

Agreeing, Henry says “I know the feeling well, but we’ve got to accept when good things come to us.”

Ty let's go of Alex’s hand allowing him to wipe away his tears.

“I’m sorry, I hate crying” Alex apologizes.

Henry and Ty shoot him an identical dirty look. “No apologizing for talking about your feelings, okay? Now or ever.” Ty says firmly.

“We want to know you, including all the bad stuff that may come with that. And you know why we want that?” Henry asks.

“Why do we, Henry?” Ty says.

“Cause we care about you” Henry says with so much confidence it takes Alex by surprise.

Nodding, and attempting to stop crying, Alex looks at them both and says the only words he can think of right now, “thank you.”

Smiling, Henry and Ty say in almost perfect unison, “No, thank you for sharing.”

Laughing all together at the timing, the three enjoy the moment.

Alex can’t help but ask, “what does that make us then?”

“Good question, I’d like to be your boyfriend but if that’s too soon, we can wait.” Henry confesses.

“I like the sound of boyfriends,” Alex replies.

Looking over at Ty, “what label would you like?” he asks.

Grinning, Ty says, “At minimum we’re together. All three of us. A throuple if you will.”

Henry pulls a face at the wordage of it and says, “Let's avoid throuple at all costs, please. That word is a sin to the English language.”

Alex and Ty can't do anything but laugh.

Finally, Ty continues, “I’ve got some gender stuff to sort out but boyfriends or partners works great for me.”

Henry, raising a questioning eyebrow asks, “Would you like us to use different pronouns?”

Alex nods, “I want to make sure you’re comfortable” he adds.

Ty smiles thankfully, “I think I’m just going to use they/them for the moment but check back in later, there may be an update.”

There’s a pause for a second until Ty asks, “Can we keep this just between us for right now? I’m not ready to share you with the world.”

Henry immediately reassures, “of course, love. Whatever makes you comfortable.”

Alex snorts to himself and Ty sends him a questioning glance, “What?” they ask.

“Once we’re ready to tell people, I’ll have some explaining to do” Alex laughs and then his face drops. “Do I have to tell Justin? I don't think I’m ready to get that touchey feely with him.”

Ty and Henry laugh at the mental picture conjured.

“No, darling, you don’t have to tell him now or ever.” Henry says gently.

Ty laughs, “I can’t imagine Justin being touchy feely at all, ever.”

Alex nods, “the most I’ve gotten from him was a ‘good answer’ which nearly had me on my knees”

Ty pulls out an imaginary note book from their pocket and scribbles something down. “Okay, so Alex has a praise kink,” they laugh.

Henry goes “Did you just catch on to that now?”

Alex feels shocked, “How did both of you figure it out before me?”

The other two turn their heads in union, smiling evilly.

“I can't wait to find out what else you’re into” Henry prods.

Some kids sprint past their table, bursting their little bubble.

Henry stands, collecting all their garbage and depositing it in the nearby trash.

“The conversation and things I would like to do after said conversation is not appropriate for this situation, may I ask that we return home.”

Alex laughs at Henry’s sudden stiff tone, turning to Ty he asks, “Does he always talk like this?”

Ty grins like the devil, “No, only when he’s trying to pretend like he isn’t a dirty, naughty man.”

Henry leans down and whispers something into Ty’s ear that has their face light up and within seconds, they’re on their feet.

Henry comes up behind Alex, and slides a hand up his back and rests it at the junction of his neck and shoulders, grasping firmly.

“I’d quite like for you to fuck me until I can’t walk and we cannot do that here.”

Alex flushes and feels his blood rush down south. “Yes, alright, let’s go.” he says in a strained voice.

As Alex stands up, his ass brushes against Henry’s crotch, where he can feel just how hard the other man is.

The three of them walk as fast as possible to the car, Ty at one point starts running with the other two hot on their heels.

--

Thankfully the car ride is short but not short enough for Alex’s over active imagination to start scheming. He’s fully hard when they walk into Ty’s place.

Within seconds, he feels Ty and Henry surrounding him. He thinks the hands on his waist belong to Henry and the lips on his are Ty’s but he’s so turned on he can’t tell up from down right now.

Henry starts to push his hard cock into Alex’s ass as he kisses up and down the other man’s neck.

“Are marks okay?” Henry asks in a deep voice.

Ty pulls away for a second so Alex can answer. “Uhh… No marks I can't hide easily please, but my chest and thighs are fine.” he moans out.

Missing their lips, Alex grabs onto Ty’s waist and pulls them back together.

It’s a bit awkward at first but they quickly fall into a rhythm. Alex can feel himself making a mess of his boxers, dick leaking so much pre cum. If he hadn’t been this hard last night, he would be concerned for his health.

Ty pulls back slowly, and Alex chases their lips, pouting when they break it off. “We need to talk before this goes any further.” they say.

Henry groans sadly into Alex’s neck but still pulls away, leaving Alex a quivering mess between them.

Henry gently takes Alex’s hand and leads them over to the couch. The three of them settle in, with Alex and Henry pressed up against each other and Ty’s legs across their laps.

Ty starts them off, “I don’t like bodily fluids other than cum. No hard hitting or pulling, but gentle is okay. I drop into subspace easily and can go non verbal. I use a tapping system when I get overwhelmed. Green is one tap, yellow is two, red is three.”

Alex’s head is spinning with the information. He tries to speak but finds himself at a loss for words, still confused by getting feasted on seconds earlier.

Ty, noticing this, checks in with him. “Alex, are you still with us?”

“Yeah, just trying to regain my senses,” Alex says softly.

Ty nods, “I get that, are you okay to keep talking or do you need a second.”

“I need a second.” He admits.

Henry puts his arm around Alex’s shoulder pulling him into his chest. Ty takes his hand and holds it in theirs.

Taking a deep breath, and letting it out slowly, Alex feels his senses return to him. He’s a bit scared of what just happened, he’s never been that out of it during sex. He knows that he needs to talk about this so he pulls himself together.

“I don’t know what just happened but I felt really floaty and it was incredibly nice but also a tiny bit scary.” Alex confides.

Ty squeezes Alex’s hand, “Did you feel subby? Like want to please us or let us take care of you?” they ask.

Alex nods, “Yeah, I just wanted to be good for you,” blushing at his confession he hides his face in Henry’s neck.

He feels Henry’s hand slide into the hair at the back of his neck and pull gently, removing Alex from his hiding spot.

Henry’s sky blue eyes find him, “You don’t need to be embarrassed, darling, it’s just us.” he says sweetly.

“Plus it was incredibly hot. Please tell us more” Ty goads lightly.

Alex feels his dick throb, still very much hard. He adjusts himself and he watches Henry’s eyes widen at the outline in his shorts.

Feeling more confident, Alex says “I just feel an overwhelming urge to do whatever you want and let myself be taken care of.”

Henry plants a kiss at the corner of Alex’s jaw. “I’d like to take care of you very much. I want to make you feel good, darling.”

Ty sits up and swings their legs around to straddle Alex. They stare him dead in the eyes, and say “Please let us take care of you, baby.”

Alex whines and he lets himself fall back into the floaty headspace. Ty guides his face to their chest and holds his head. Henry starts to bite and suck along Alex’s jawline and neck, careful to not leave a mark.

Melting like he’s never done before, his eyes slip shut and he enjoys the moment he’s in. How could he not? He’s got his two insanely hot boyfriends (eeee!) taking care of him and making him feel beyond words.

He nuzzles his face into Ty's chest, relishing in the soft pillowyness of their boobs. They’re the perfect size for Ty’s frame and he gently takes them into his hands, squeezing ever so gently.

Ty pulls down the straps of their wrap top, and Alex removes his hands to let it fall down to expose their breasts.

Alex is as much of a boobs man as he is an ass man, and he can’t help but bury himself into the beautiful pair right in his face. Ty laughs softly and whispers into the crown of Alex’s head, “you can leave marks anywhere but my neck.”

Taking that as his cue to get to work, he kisses and then sucks one of Ty’s large nipples. Scraping it with his teeth, has Ty moaning into his hair, pulling firmly.

Alex keeps his head buried, enhancing the pull, and moans into Ty. His hips buck up into Ty and he gets even louder.

Henry, who must have pulled back from Alex’s neck at some point, though Alex isn’t sure when, says in a baritone voice, “Let’s take this to bed, shall we?’

Alex stands up, supporting Ty by the thighs, who lets out a startled sound at suddenly being picked up.

Henry leads the way into the bedroom, stripping off his clothes as he walks.

Alex can’t do anything but follow.

Chapter Text

Watching Ty expose their chest and let Alex suck marks into their skin is one of the hottest things he’s ever seen. He saves the mental image to his wank folder and starts to feel himself through his shorts.

Realizing that this would be over before it began if they didn’t start soon, Henry suggested they move to the bedroom and he’s ever so thankful he said that.

Ty squirms a bit and Alex takes the hint to set them down.

“Are we all still good with the traffic system?” Henry checks in.

Ty nods, and taps Henrys ass once, signalling yes. Alex looks so hazy that Henry realizes he’s going to need to ask his question differently.

“Alex, you know our system?” Henry asks. “Can you be a good boy and repeat it back to me?”

Alex’s pupils dilate further somehow, and he looks even more eager. His attention is quickly diverted as Ty steps out of their shorts but Henry touches his face and he gets the answer he was looking for.

“Green for good, yellow for slow down, red for stop.” Alex breathes in a fucked out voice.

Henry smiles gently at him and gives him a quick kiss on the lips. Alex moves to deepen it but Henry pulls away.

“Good job, darling. Thank you for telling me your colours.” Henry praises. “What colour are you right now?”

Alex barely lets him get through the sentence before saying “green, so very green.”

Still holding Alex’s gaze, Henry asks Ty their colour. “And you, Ty?”

He feels them come up behind him and tap him once on the ass, which quickly turns into a bit more of a grope.

“Love, will you help me get Alex out of his clothes.” Henry asks politely.

Ty taps him once, and walks behind Alex and starts to lift up the back of his shirt. Henry can see their hands reach around and go down the front, pressing on to Alex’s prominent bulge.

Alex lets out a broken sound and nearly falls into Henry as his knees collapse. Henry immediately stabilizes him by holding his hips.

“Enough teasing, love. Let’s get him naked.” Henry says.

Alex gets pulled away from Henry’s chest for a second as Ty helps Alex out of his t-shirt.

Henry’s hands go down to Alex’s shorts’ drawstring, working on untying the knot.

Ty grabs Alex’s hips to keep him upright. Henry knows that they need to lie down soon but he wants to tease Alex before that happens.

Finally untying the knot, Henry slowly lowers himself onto his knees pulling the shorts and boxers down with him.

What comes out of Alex’s shorts will live in Henry’s wet dreams forever. Alex is uncut, curved ever so slightly up, and thick enough to make Henry’s jaw ache instinctively.

Mouth watering, Henry kisses around Alex’s thighs and lifts up one leg, after the other, helping Alex out of his shorts.

Henry stands up before his resolve crumbles, and sees that Ty has been scratching up and down Alex’s back as they hold him steady.

Addressing Ty again, Henry says “Love, would you like to ride our darling?”

Ty’s face lights up at the suggestion, and they tap both Alex and Henry once on the arm.

“Does that sound good to you, Alex?” Henry asks.

Alex lets out a moan, “please, god, yes.”

Henry gestures for Alex to lie down, and when the other man wobbles, he takes his arm and helps him get comfy. He sees Ty reach into the bottom drawer of their white dresser and pull out a bottle of lube and a clit sucker.

Henry has seen the toy before, and after a very drunken conversation, knows that Ty has a hard time climaxing from penetration. “Thank you for grabbing those, Love. Do you want to use your toy?” He asks.

Ty simply nods and Henry smiles. He follows Ty’s eyes downwards to see Alex sprawled on the bed, fucked out and stroking himself slowly.

Henry’s cock throbs and he gives it a squeeze through his shorts, he’ll deal with himself later.

Ty tosses the toy next to Alex and uncaps the lube with a ‘snick’. They rub some over their fingers to warm it up before straddling Alex.

Henry watches as Alex trembles when Ty knocks his hand away and strokes him a few times.

“Let out all your sounds, we want to hear you” Henry requests.

That rips a guttural moan out of Alex, who starts to beg. “Please baby, I need you, I wanna feel you..”

Ty, not wasting any time, starts to lower themself onto Alex’s almost purple cock.

Henry knows that Alex won't last long, and he can’t wait to watch the other man cum.

Ty starts to let out little sounds as they sink deeper and deeper on to Alex.

“Oh fuck, he’s so big, Hen” ty whines quietly.

“Is he stretching you out, love?” Henry asks, happy that Ty is speaking. He looks down at where their two bodies connect and he pulses in his pants.

Ty makes another small sound which is quickly drowned out by Alex’s moan as Ty bottoms out.

Alex looks close to tears, he’s babbling a string of ‘please,’ ‘thank you’ and ‘oh god’s. Henry sees that Alex’s hips are starting to move beneath Ty, who’s gone limp over Alex’s chest.

“He’s so thick and long, I’m so full” ty breathes.

Henry knows that Ty must need a second so he reaches over and straddles Alex’s thighs behind Ty, keeping most of his weight off of Alex but enough to stop his thrusts.

Henry wraps his arms around Ty, reaching around to cup their chest.

Alex, through his thick lashes, watches Henry’s hands pinch and rub at Ty’s nipples, drawing little sounds out of them.

“They… Oh god.. Clench around me when you.. Uhhh fuck– do that” Alex gets out through heavy breathing.

Henry is intrigued, “Oh do they? I wonder what they’d do if I touched their clit.” Henry asks.

Ty moves one of their hands from Alex’s chest to Henry’s hair, pulling him closer.

“Please, you can touch me, I wanna feel you.” Ty begs.

Henry, although he’s not familiar with AFAB anatomy, slides his hand down until he feels Ty’s warm, wet slit. Reaching further, he feels a small nub, and as his hand brushes over it, Ty pulls his hair hard and Alex nearly screams.

“Right there,” Ty begs at the same time that Alex goes “so tight, oh my god you’re so tight”.

Taking that as a sign to continue, Henry starts to rub his finger over that area, slowly with light pressure. Ty’s wetness is helping the glide but he needs a bit more to make things smooth.

On a whim, he reaches past where he was touching and finds where Alex’s cock enters Ty. He feels so much wet warmth and can feel Alex throbbing.

The pair let out a moan as Henry continues to explore where their bodies connect.

After a few seconds, Henry’s hand returns to Ty’s clit, rubbing with a bit more pressure now that the glide is there.

Ty must clench at the stimulation, as Alex’s hips twitch up, driving a moan from both of them.

Henry is enchanted by their sounds and how incredibly hot this all is. He doesn’t think he’s been more turned on in his life.

Without thinking, he thrusts his cock against Ty’s back which sends their hips moving on Alex.

It’s a bit awkward but Henry helps the movement by placing his other hand on Ty’s hip. Together, the three of them move, all absorbed in pleasure.

Ty’s thighs start to shake and Henry realizes with pride that they must be close.

Before Ty can finish, Alex’s hips buck up one last time and the man lets out the most broken moan, tears springing from his eyes.

Ty follows seconds later, and Henry can feel them clench around Alex, who moans out in overstimulation.

Collapsing forward, Ty buries their head in Alex’s neck. Henry indulges himself in one last touch of where Alex and Ty connect, which causes them both to let out a hiss at the over stimulation.

Ty shifts slightly, letting Alex’s softening cock slip out of them, before they dump themselves onto the bed beside Alex.

Henry is still straddling Alex’s hips and makes to get off of him to grab a towel to clean them up, but feels a hand on his thigh.

Thinking it’s Ty, Henry looks over to see them curled up around Alex, both hands scratching at the other man's scalp. Realizing it’s Alex, Henry glances down to the blissed out man.

“Baby, please don’t go.” Alex mutters.

“I can stay for a bit,” Henry offers, “But I need to clean you both up.”

Whining softly, Alex says “I want you to cum.”

Ty nods, against the pillow and Henry sighs. Considering the mess that they’re already in, Henry realizes that he could cause a bit more.

An idea springs into his head as he sees how close Ty and Alex’s heads are. “Can I cum on your faces?” Henry asks shyly.

Alex moans again and lolls out of his tongue suggestively as Ty gives Henry’s knee a single squeeze.

Henry pulls down his shorts awkwardly and takes his aching cock out, which is nearly purple at the tip. He gives himself a few firm strokes and lets out a little moan.

Ty and Alex shift a bit so both their faces are closer and Henry shuffles forward to make sure he’s on target.

Knowing he won’t last long, he strokes faster and faster. Looking down at his two beautiful partners, all fucked out because of him, has him on the edge in seconds.

Ty’s hand sneaks up, and squeezes the base of his cock and then falls down to his balls.

Henry comes with a deep laugh, painting stripes across Ty and Alex’s face. They’re such a vision, covered in his cum, he wishes he could take a picture but he’s sure the memory is forever burned into his consciousness.

His brain is already mush before Ty leans over and filthy kisses Alex, licking and sucking the cum off his face. Alex is quick to return the favour and all he can do is watch, his dick valiantly attempting to get hard in his hand.

Once they’re finished, faces all cleaned, Alex taps Henry’s ass in a way to suggest he should lie down.

As Henry falls over, he’s careful to not squish anyone. Ty lays their head on Alex’s chest, right over his heart and Henry slumps against Alex’s arm, burying his face into his curls.

The room stinks of sex and Henry can't find it in him to be upset. That was by far the hottest experience of his life, which is saying something after last night.
Henry knows he needs to check in with Alex and Ty who may still be feeling subby. Clearing his throat once he catches his breath he asks, “How are we feeling?”

Alex is the first to respond. “I think all my brain leaked out of my dick,” he laughs.

Ty reaches over blindly and swats in Henry’s general direction, they end up touching Alex but Henry sees them tap once .

Smiling, he lifts his arm up behind Alex’s head and they adjust so that Henry can play with Ty’s hair and hold Alex at the same time.

He knows they can’t lay here forever but he wishes they could, clean up be damned.

Smiling to himself, he presses a kiss into Alex’s hair before taking Ty’s hand and interlacing their fingers.

Chapter Text

Ty feels satiated in a way they’ve never felt before. They feel so surrounded by love and care that it feels wrong to burst the bubble but they do need to get up and pee. Nothing’s less sexy than an UTI.

They shift around, feeling Alex’s release drip out of them. They reach their hand down at the same time that Alex does, fingers meeting at their entrance.

Alex whispers into their ear, “Can I?” and Ty nods and taps his arm once. As he slides his fingers into them, feeling his release gush out, Ty moans.

They know that they could go for another round, and it’s a very tempting thought, however they know that they all need to get up and have a shower.

Round two in the shower though, that’s an idea. Looking over to Henry and Alex, they see that they’re both semi hard still.

Ty lets their horny thoughts win and asks, “Can I touch both of you?”

Henry and Alex chorus moan “yes” and Ty sits up, straddling Alex who’s lying in the middle. They take a cock in each hand and slowly start to stroke.

Alex gets hard quickly in Ty’s hand and Henry isn’t far behind. Noticing how much Alex is leaking, Ty says “Shall we move to the shower boys?”

Alex nods but Henry pitches something else, “Can I eat Alex’s cum out of you, love?” he asks quietly.

Ty’s hips thrust into Alex’s thighs, seeking friction at the mere idea of that. Alex isn’t much better off, even more pre-cum leaking out of his slit.

“Can I have you both in my mouth while you clean me up?” Ty asks.

Alex bucks beneath them and starts to plead. “Yes, please… baby, I wanna be in your mouth.”

Henry nods while smiling, “of course love, come, sit on my face.”

The shuffle to get into position is a bit awkward and Ty nearly breaks Alex’s nose in the process but eventually, they’re hovering over Henry’s face, thighs shaking as they hold up their weight.

Henry, who’s waited too long for this already, sits up a bit and buries his face into their cunt. He starts to suck and lick as Ty outright grinds on his face. To make things a bit more comfortable, Henry grabs their ass and pulls it down so they’re resting their weight on him.

Ty can barely keep it together, the feeling of Henry’s warm mouth, doing an excellent job at cleaning them up, stimulating them in the way they need with their oversensitivity, has them on the edge in seconds.

To make this last longer, Ty takes Henry in one of their hands and leans over to take Alex into their mouth, holding him at the base.

The position isn’t great for Ty to take Alex very deep but it’s enough for Alex to fuck his hips up into their mouth, accidentally gagging them.

Ty pulls back and Alex moans, so far gone. “Baby,” Ty chides softly. “You wanna be good for us, right? Then I need you to keep still”

Alex nods vigorously and balls the sheets up in his hands, trying to maintain his sanity. Ty takes him back into their mouth as Henry sucks their clit, causing them to moan out. Feeling the vibrations of Ty’s throat around him, Alex suddenly cums, shooting his load across Ty’s tongue and face as he sobs.

Ty smiles and tastes Alex, already obsessed with him deeply. They lay a hand on Alex’s quivering thigh trying to ground the other man who is in hysterics at coming back to back so quickly.

Now that Alex is taken care of, Ty focuses back on their own pleasure, grinding their hips onto Henry’s face.

After a hard suck on their clit, they feel themself gush wetness and they pull back from Henry. They immediately feel the hands on their ass push them back down and Henry licks it all up, humming against them while he does it.

All Ty can do is keep riding Henry’s face, now barely keeping themself up. They look over at Alex who is watching the scene with wide eyes and a look of absolute awe on his face.

“Baby, can you come help me stay up?” Ty asks Alex. “You can play with my tits.”

Alex is up in seconds and straddles Henry’s chest, his semi soft cock dripping onto the other man’s sternum. He takes one of Ty’s nipples into his mouth and sucks hard before he gently bites down.

Ty is lost in pleasure, feeling themself leak into Henry’s mouth, who is quick to lap it up, as Alex feasts on their chest, covering them in marks.

Ty doesn’t last much longer, the scene too hot for them. All it takes is one final hum and lick to their clit for them to fall over the edge. This time though, their release feels different but they’re too caught up to care.

They feel a strange amount of wetness and Henry slightly recoils before returning to suck harder, prolonging their release.

Head in the clouds, they hear Alex murmur into their ear, “Oh god baby, did you just squirt? Looks like you did, you’ve got Henry’s face all wet. Good job baby, you’re doing so good.”

The stream of praise keeps going as they ride out the final waves of their orgasm. Alex leans their weight on his chest and keeps them upright.

Alex checks in, “Henry just tapped once, can you tap your colour for me love?”

Ty manages to tap once, and Alex continues “I wanna play with you too, baby. Can you handle that?”

Tapping once again, they feel Henry shift beneath them.

“Good god, love. I didn’t know you could squirt.”

Ty suddenly puts two and two together and realizes that they just waterboarded Henry with their squirt.

Feeling embarrassed, they start to pull back but Henry has none of that.

“Love, I need you to do that again, do you think you can do it?” Henry asks, slightly muffled.

Ty taps Henry’s chest once, before Henry speaks. “I want you on my cock, love. Can you handle that?”

Ty moans and gives a sharp tap to Henry’s side, who laughs gently.

Alex chimes in, “Can I play with you when he’s inside you?”

Moaning again, Ty taps Alex once, now squirming at the idea, despite coming just seconds ago.

Finding their voice, Ty says, “I need to lay down though,”

Henry and Alex are quick to position them onto their back in the middle of the bed.

A bit more aware of their surroundings, Ty sees Henry between their knees and Alex curled up with his head on their chest, looking down at their cunt.

Ty gets out, “Please I wanna feel you, Hen.” and Henry responds “Of course, love. Let me know if it gets to be too much.”

Tapping once, they feel Henry shift them around to line up with their hole, all while making sure Alex has a clear view.

There’s some conversation between the other two that Ty just can’t comprehend. They let themself drift deeper and deeper into subspace, knowing they’re safe here.

They feel themself get tapped once and they tap whoever they can reach once back.

Then, suddenly, Henry slides into them, pressing in firmly yet slowly until he’s buried to the root.

Ty has never felt so full, it must be the angle and the size of Henry’s frankly massive cock. There’s a moment of stillness before Ty taps once and then everything gets to be very much, very fast.

The wet slick noise is all they can focus on, as Henry slides in and out of them. The combination of Alex’s release, their natural wetness, the squirt they just let out and Henry’s precum, has Henry’s cock glide beautifully.

Ty knows that they’re moaning loudly, but they can't hear it over the rush of blood in their ears. All they can focus on is the floaty, blissful headspace they are in as they get used so gently by Henry.

Out of the blue, Alex’s hand slides into their slit and starts to gently rub around where Henry is inserted. The added stimulation sends waves of shock through their body and all Ty can do is quiver.

They feel a steadying hand on their upper chest, resting gently around their throat. Not squeezing, but just giving them a ground place.

Alex’s hand drifts away from their hole to focus on their clit. Ty feels a scream rip through their body, the pressure is just right and they know they won’t last for very much longer.

They were already on the cusp of overstimulation and are now teetering on the edge of too much. Ty continues to shake and they feel Henry’s thighs quivering too.

The thrusts speed up and so does Alex’s hand, rubbing gently across their clit. They can’t tell if their eyes are open or closed, or what sound they’re making, all they can feel is pleasure.

As they approach the cliff, they feel Henry’s thrusts get deeper and harder as he slams his hips home. The pace change has Ty scratching their nails down Henry's back, who shudders beneath their touch.

There is a blinding white light as Alex pressing down right onto their clit and then Ty’s mind goes blank. Their head is high above the clouds, soaring through the mind altering pleasure.

They feel themself screaming and shaking, with a sudden gush of wetness between their thighs as Henry continues to pound into them.

The overstimulation is ruining them in the best way possible. They feel so cared for and bliss beyond words.

Henry’s hips do one more thrust before he stills deep in them, his cock throbbing inside as he coats their walls with his release.

Ty lets themself sink slowly back into their body, starting by feeling the throbbing of their hole, the ache of their clit and the wetness coating their thighs.

Next, they feel Alex and Henry’s hands on them, keeping them grounded against the bed. One body is lying next to theirs, a thigh thrown across their waist.

As the ringing in their ears quiets, they hear the two talking gently to one another and the bed shifts as someone moves away.

Ty lets out a broken cry, thinking that someone is leaving but the bed dips again and quickly there’s a second presence beside them again.

They feel themself start to babble incoherently, trying to express their need for them to stay. Tears spring to their eyes and they can’t help but sob.

They’re picked up gently and moved into the crook of someone's arm, with another body blanketing their back.

“Please stay” Ty hiccups out.

They don’t understand the words said back to them but it sounds good and the kisses pressed to their face and back make them feel safe again.

They focus on the breath and try to calm down. As their tears slow down, they realize that they’re lying in a puddle of wetness and they feel like goo.

They hear Alex and Henry speaking to them gently, praising them and reminding them of their safety and to take their time coming down.

Relaxing into the arms holding them, they snuggle in and breathe out. A hand comes to their hair and starts to scratch and Ty manages to tap someone once.

There’s a gentle laugh and Ty feels relieved. Everything is okay, they remind themself.

They take a few more minutes to enjoy their afterglow before they drift back down, tuning into Alex and Henry’s voices.

Noticing the shift, Henry says gently, “Are you back, my love?”

Ty nods and taps once.

Alex, with worry in his voice, asks, “What’s your colour?”

Ty opens their eyes and meets Alex’s. “I’m green. I just came really, really hard and I think it did a hard reset on my brain." They joke.

Alex lets out a sigh of relief. “Glad to hear that you’re okay.” he says.

Ty feels Henry’s arm leave their chest and move to Alex’s shoulder, where it gives a gentle squeeze.

“Feeling green again, Alex?” Henry asks carefully.

Alex nods, “Yeah, I just got worried I did something wrong. I’ve never seen someone cum like that before and I thought I broke you.” he confesses.

Ty looks him dead in the eye, “Alex, baby, you didn’t break me, you didn’t hurt me, you made me cum so hard I saw the universe and it took me a second to come back down. Everything is okay, we’re okay, I’m okay, you’re okay. Don’t worry, baby.”

Alex smiles sheepishly and nods.

Thinking for a second, Ty asks, “How long was I out for?”

Henry laughs against their hair, “Oh about thirty minutes.”

Ty sits up as much as they can, with panic in their eyes. “Thirty minutes?” they exclaim.

“Yeah, that’s why Alex was so worried.” Henry says gently.

Ty falls back down into their arms, “Oh, that makes sense.”

Alex nods, pressing a kiss to their forehead.

They sit in silence for a minute, all processing what just happened. Ty speaks first, “As much as I’d love to continue to cuddle, I need to pee and not be lying in the wet spot anymore” they laugh.

Alex laughs gently, “Baby, the whole bed is wet. You squirted twice.”

Blushing, Ty says, “Well to be fair, I didn’t know I could do that, let alone twice.”

Both men let out gasps, “You didn’t know you could squirt?” Alex asks.

Ty nods, “I didn’t think it was possible for me”.

Henry is still against their back before he says reverently, “First time having sex with someone who’s AFAB and I got them to squirt.”

Alex laughs, “You are a sex god, baby.”

The three of them giggle before Ty’s bladder interrupts. “Okay, loves, I need to pee so someone better help me up cause I don’t think I can walk.”

Laughing together, they get up and start to take care of each other.
