-Fred-

After the tedious session of lectures and exams, I finally escaped the hell of the day. I walked back to my dorm, well, Mine, Byx’s, and apparently now Axton’s. And when I walked through the door I froze. There on our couch was Axton, and sitting in his lap, their legs wrapped around his waist, was Vivo…

My heart sank, as I watched them both look in my direction, and I shook my head. Vivo climbed off Axton’s lap and walked over to me, cupping my face. “Are you alright?” He asked, and I pushed his hand away. “Get out of my dorm” I said bitterly. “No need to be bitter…” Axton says, and my head snapped in his direction.

“Keep your nose out of this” I growled. Axton snapped something in German, staring daggers at me. “Calm down, it's fine… I’ll go…” Vivo says quietly. “No, you stay, Axton, leave for a little while” I said. Axton rolled his eyes, before he started to make his way to the door.

-Byx-

I waited at the airport for nearly three hours, and it was late in the evening, before my phone began to ring. It was Fred, of course, and I sighed, picking up my phone. “Hello?”. “Where the hell are you!” He shouted loudly, making my ear ring. “I told you, I’m waiting on my sister at the airport” I said, before I immediately hung up. I love Fred, more than most, but damn was he annoying. I could hardly go anywhere without him freaking out over it.

I put my phone in my pocket, and looked up to see my sister and a male walking towards me. “Lily, how nice to see you,” I said in my usual high pitched voice. “Hey Byxie” She replied, as she hugged me tight. Lily took a step back and the male beside her glared at me.

“You work at Hooters or something?” He said with a smirk, and I frowned. “As a matter of fact, I do, dip shit” I snapped. The male glared and I glared back harder. “Alright boys, enough, Byx, this is my Boyfriend, Asher Lawrin” Lily said, and I chuckled. “This dick is your boyfriend?” I said with a smirk, and Asher went to come at me, but Lily held him back. “I said enough, now Byx, shall we go?” She said, and I stuck my tongue out at Asher, before nodding. “Let’s go, my car is right outside” I said, before walking off with much sass.

As we walked outside, I could have sworn I had parked my car right in front. Then I noticed a wrecker, towing my car away, and I frowned. “Welp, there goes our ride, I’ll just call a friend until we can get this sorted out” I said, and Lily nodded.

I walked away for a bit of Privacy, before I sighed, pulling out my phone, dialing the number. “Hey baby boy, everything okay?” Axton said as he picked up. My face burned red, but I managed to keep myself under control. “No, my car got towed, so now we have no way of getting home…” I spat, and I could hear Axton chuckle.

“You want me to come rescue you, Princess” Axton said in a teasing tone, and I rolled my eyes. “Obviously” I said with no enthusiasm. “I’ll be there in an hour baby boy, just hang tight” Axton said, and I immediately hung up the phone.

God, did I love him, but his teasing seemed to give me butterflies everytime. I would think I’d be used to it by now, but I definitely was not. If only Axton knew how much the teasing made my heart flutter, maybe then he’d understand how much it turned me on.

I made my way back over to Lily and Asher, only to find his hands snaked around her waist, so I grew quite infuriated. “You realize that’s my sister, not your sex toy” I snapped, and Asher’s head whipped around. “You could mind your business, you little bitch” He snarled, and I only smirked. “I can be a bitch all I want, but get your hands off my sister, no one, especially me, wants to see that” I said, and Asher groaned, pulling away from her.

I then sighed, sitting down on a bench in front of the airport to wait on Axton, wishing the time would just go by faster. Luckily, the hour passed quicker than I expected, and I saw Axton’s old, red pickup truck pull up close to the sidewalk. I watched as the window rolled down, and I saw Axton’s handsome face, and I sighed with relief.

“You coming Hun?” Axton said, and I blushed hard. “Is this your, uh, boyfriend or something?” Lily asked from behind me, and I groaned. “I wish” I muttered, and Lily only smiled.

I climbed into the truck beside Axton, and my sister and her man climbed in beside me. Since the truck was small, I was squished up against Axton’s side, which wasn’t exactly a bad thing.

We drove for a while, Lily instructing Axton on which way to go to get to their rental home they were staying in. So we pulled into the driveway and Lily and Asher got out, and I scooted over in the passenger seat. “We’ll see you around, Byxie, just please, stay out of trouble” Lily said, and I smirked. “No promises” I said, and Lily only smiled, then Axton began pulling out of the drive.

Axton continued down the highway silently, and I watched out the window. After another thirty more minutes, we pulled into the college parking lot. I got out, and started walking towards the dorm, before I felt something pull on the back of my collar. I whipped around, and Axton pulled me close, before slowly pinning me against the hood of his truck. His face was inches away from mine, and I blushed hard. “I heard what you said” Axton said with a soft voice, and my heart skipped a beat. “Wh-what do you mean-” I asked, and Axton smirked.

“When your sister asked about me being your partner, you said you wished I was… I'm not oblivious, kid” Axton said, and I felt my chest tighten in fear. “S-so, it's not like that'll ever happen” I spat bitterly, looking away from him. Axton then cupped my cheek, and turned my head back towards him. “Who said it won't?” He whispered as he came closer, his lips brushing against mine. “A-Axton” I muttered, letting out a soft, accidental whine, as his lips then pressed against mine. I gripped his shirt, his hands rested gently on my hips, and I managed to smile.

He soon pulled back, making me whimper with disappointment, and Axton only smiled. “You’ll get more soon enough, but not here, not now” He said, and I nodded.

“Well well well, I guess there’s no need for me to come here now is there” I heard Fred’s voice snap, and Axton pulled away quickly. “Fred, please, this isn’t what it looks like” He said, and Fred immediately went off on him. “Asking me to go eat, then I come to find you and your making out with not only my roommate, but my best friend…” He growled, and Axton looked down. “Fred you don’t unde-”

“You're right, I don’t! But it’s not like it matters! I thought we actually had something, Axton! But apparently not!” Fred said, tears streaming down his pale face. Axton’s face faded of emotion, and he clenched his fist. “Let’s just talk about this, alright, there’s a lot you're missing here…” He said calmly.

“Why should I even listen to you!” Fred yelled, and my heart sank. It was clear Fred felt very strong feelings for Axton, but so did I, so it began to break my heart.

“Please, just let me explain, we can talk about it over dinner” Axton said, and Fred started hugging himself. “No, we’ll talk about it now” Fred said, and Axton sighed and nodded.

“Fred, I’m Polysexual, meaning I love and date multiple people at a time… I can understand you're a bit upset but I need you to understand, I still love you, I love both of you, that's just how I am” Axton said, rubbing the back of his neck.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

Fred nodded slowly, seeming to somewhat understand. “Well that explains a lot, but it still doesn’t mean I’m happy about it… It makes you seem like a male whore” He said, and Axton shrugged.

“Please, just, please don’t be upset, I still love you, and I still want to be with you, but you have to just let me be me,” Axton said, and Fred let out a sigh. “Fine, but if I hear one thing about you two having the first intercourse, I’m out” He said, and Axton chuckled. “We won’t, you called it” Axton said, and I smiled softly. Then Fred approached Axton and looked him directly into his eyes, before he kissed him.

I couldn’t help but feel a bit comforted that the argument was settled, but I was definitely jealous. “Alright alright, yall either need to go, or get a room” I said, as they continued kissing, and Fred whipped his head around. “Fine, we’ll finish later” He said with a smirk, and Axton turned red.

I watched as they both climbed into the Ford pickup, and they waved back at me. I waved back, before I started walking back to my room. As I made my way down the hall, I smiled, seeing Vivo knocking on my door, looking a bit worried. “Who ya looking for” I asked with a flirtatious tone, and Vivo turned around quickly. “I-uh, I was actually looking for you” The nerdy kid said, pushing up his glasses. I smiled, then he shook his head and stepped aside from in front of the door. “S-sorry” He said, and I merely smiled down at him.

“There’s no need to apologize, dear” I said, before opening the door. I made my way inside, and Vivo hesitated. “You can come inside” I said, and Vivo nodded, coming inside. I closed the door behind him, and smiled greatly, putting my hand on his shoulder. “What did you need me for?” I asked, and Vivo froze.

“I-uh- I needed to talk to you about something…” Vivo said, blushing greatly, and I figured I knew what it was. I sat on the couch, patting the spot beside me, and Vivo sat.

“What do you want to talk about?” I ask, and Vivo took a deep breath. “I just, was wondering… if you would… I don’t know… go eat or something” Vivo said, muttering the last bit, and I grinned. “Of course, but I’m guessing there’s more to it than that” I teased, trying to get more out of him.

Vivo stayed silent for a little while, seeming lost in thought, then he finally moved. It took me by surprise, as his lips hit my check, but he pulled away quickly, covering his face with much embarrassment.

“Well then,” I said, and I smiled greatly, pulling Vivo into a tight hug. I held him for a moment, trying to process exactly what that kiss had meant, and I finally came to realize that I was indeed right about Vivo.

“You like me, Bud?” I asked, and I felt a small nod against my chest. I thought about how Axton explained the whole Polysexual stuff, and it gave me the greatest idea that I have had in a long time.

“I like you too… but there’s something I need to tell you” I said, and Vivo looked up, locking his eyes with mine. “I think I may be polysexual, so I don’t want you getting upset if I go out with others” I said, and Vivo only smiled. “I’m okay with trying that, heck, I can say I like your roommate a lot,” Vivo said, blushing hard. “Well, you’ll have to talk to him about that, but for now… you're all mine” I said, as I pulled Vivo into my lap.

Vivo’s legs seemed to fit perfectly, as he straddled my waist, and I gripped the back of his thighs gently, watching as Vivo seemed to get chills. He laid his head on my shoulder, rubbing his nose against my neck like a dog does to their mate. I let out a soft whimper, and Vivo pulled away, looking away from me.

“It's okay love, I was enjoying it” I say, and Vivo’s face burned red. “I’m sorry, I’m not used to this,” Vivo said, and I smiled, rubbing his cheek with my thumb. “It's okay, baby, just stay calm, we’ll figure all this out” I said, and Vivo bit his lip, before laying his head back down.

Soon enough, I began to hear the soft snores of him, and I smiled. I ran my fingers gently through his hair, just staying still so he could sleep. And eventually, my eyes began to droop, and sleep then welcomed me with wide, open arms.

-Axton-

“You look a little tense.” I say looking over at Fred, and he looked up quickly. “Can’t really say that I’m not” He replied, rubbing the back of his neck. “You know you can talk to me about anything right?” I said with a soft tone, and Fred shrugged. “I know, but how do I know you won’t go off telling your little boy toy” He said, and I rolled my eyes. “You're still mad about that” I asked, and Fred merely sighed. “No, I just don’t see how this will work” He said. Then Fred’s expression darked, and I put my hand on his shoulder. “Are you okay, love?” I asked, and Fred shook his head.

“I don’t feel great…” Fred says, and my heart sank. “Would you like to go home?” I asked, and Fred nodded. “Come on let’s get to the truck” I said, and Fred tried to stand, but nearly fell. “Hey just lean on me, I'll help you to the truck.” I said, and Fred nodded, putting his arm around my neck.

As we walked, Fred groaned, and when we finally reached the truck, I helped him inside. I helped him buckle his seat belt, before I closed his door. I went around to the drivers side, and sighed as I got in. “I'm sorry,” Fred muttered. “No It’s okay if you don't feel good, you don’t feel good. Let’s just get you home.” I said, and Fred sighed. “Would you mind if I came to your dorm, I don’t feel like facing Byx tonight” Fred said, and I smiled. “Of course you can.” I said with a grin, and Fred managed to smile.

We made our way to the dorms, and I helped Fred inside. I helped him to my couch, and Fred sighed. “I feel like I’m about to puke” He groaned, and I tucked his hair behind his ear. “I’ll find you some meds,” I said, and I walked into the kitchen.

I knew it was near ten o’clock, and I was surprised I hadn’t seen Vivo in a while. I hoped he hadn’t moved dorms, but he definitely wasn’t here. I shook my head, and looked through the cabinet for anti-nausea meds. Once I located them, I brought them and a glass of water to Fred.

He downed them quickly, and looked quite disgusted by the taste. “I’m sorry, Hun,” I said, and Fred smiled softly. “It's fine, it’ll be fine” He said, but I could tell he didn’t believe it. “Why don’t we get you to bed, so you can sleep” I suggested, and Fred smiled. “That would be nice” He says, then I picked him up in a bridal style way.

I carried him to my bed, laying him down gently, and Fred smiled greatly. I covered him up, and covered myself up as I laid beside him. I cuddled close behind him, and Fred yawned. “Hey Axton,” He said in a sleepy tone. “Yeah?” I asked, and Fred gripped my hand. “I love you” He muttered, and soon, he dozed off. It wasn’t long, and I ended up dozing off too, engulfed in the darkness of sleep.

-Vivo-

A few days had passed, and Exams were creeping up on me quickly. I have been panicking more than ever, and it was almost impossible to focus on anything other than studying. Except for maybe, my relationship with Byx. That was about the only thing that gave me a break from the brain straining studies, and Byx sure seemed thankful. They had grown very close over the past few days, and even weeks.

I seem happier than ever when I am with him, but there’s something about it that seems strange. I love him, more than anything, but I couldn’t help but love someone else as well. Frederick Moore was hard to love by most, but, I am not most people. From the day I met his flirtatious ass, I fell hard for him.

It was hard to get over the fact that I knew he and Axton were dating, but just like Byx said, I would just have to talk to him about it. Apparently both Axton and Byx are also dating, since the two of them are poly, so maybe that would work with Fred.

I walked down the hall, holding my books close to my chest, when I was pulled up by my collar. “Look boys, it's the homo-freak” A male said, and I squirmed and whined. “Put me down” I muttered, and they bursted out with laughter. “Oi put him down…” I heard a male shout, and the voice sounded oddly familiar.

As I looked up I smiled when I saw a familiar face. Axton pulled the guy that was holding me up, and managed to catch me from falling. He set me gently on the ground, and I brushed myself off. “You think that just because you're a big jock you can push us around, mind your own business” The guy said, and Axton glared at him. “Pick on this boy again, and I’ll shove a pencil up your ass… or worse” He snarled, and the boy fled in panic.

“Are you alright?” Axton asked me, and I nodded with a sigh of relief. “I’m fine, thank you” I said, and Axton looked around. “If they bother you again, just let me know, mkay?” He said, and I nodded quickly.

Then Axton left, so I was once again left alone to my thoughts.

I continued my way down the hall, and couldn’t help but think about Axton a little. Sure, he was nice, but he was hella hot too. Not only that, but he was on the baseball team as well, one of the greatest pitchers Hallaview has had in a while. How much would it take to get to be with him I wonder.

I then shook my head to shake the upcoming intrusive thoughts, and I kept walking. I made it back to my dorm, and smiled when I saw Fred laying on the couch. “Did Axton let you in?” I asked, and Fred nodded sleepily. “Yeah, he did, got a problem” He asked, and my confidence immediately faded. “I uh- no… I just haven’t seen you in a while…” I said, and Fred scoffed.

“I come and go…” Fred said in a dull tone, and I frowned. “Is something wrong?” I asked, and Fred surprisingly nodded. “It's this whole dating thing, it's kind of confusing” He said, and I smiled softly. “Yeah, well, it’ll level itself out in time” I said, and Fred rolled his eyes.

“You sound like Axton,” He sighed, and I chuckled. “Its like that sometimes, but it’ll be okay, mind sharing what’s confusing about it?” I asked and he chuckled. “Literally everything” Fred said, and I smiled. “Yeah I know, but, well, I know its complicated, but it’ll get better the farther y’all get” I said. “Now you really sound like him” Fred groaned, and I chuckled.

“Vivo… Axton mentioned something to me, and I was wondering if you would mind talking about it” Fred said, and my heart began pounding. Oh shit, oh shit I thought, but Fred merely smiled.

“He mentioned something about you and Byx” He said, and I nodded slowly. “Yeah, and?” I said, and his smile faded. “Is it true or not?” Fred asked, and I began to panic. “It is, but well… I’m honestly not sure…” I said, hugging myself. “So… you know Byx is poly right?” He asked, and I nodded.

“Would you ever consider being poly” Fred asked, and I figured I knew where he was going. “I’ve been considering it” I muttered, and Fred’s smile returned. “Even with a dick like me?” Fred asked, and I couldn’t help but smile. “Of course, and FYI, you may have a dick, but you're not one” I said, and Fred roared with laughter. Then I leaned over and kissed his forehead…
