Notes: This isn't very good, but since in a bout of insanity I signed up for NaNoWriMo, I want to get as much fic I want to/need to write before October ends, and I've been itching to write this pairing for a long time.

Trip couldn't quite remember how he'd wound up in this situation, with Wes kissing his chest and Katie pressed up behind him and working on his neck, but anything before now wasn't really a top priority for him at the moment. He was too busy trying to bite back a whimper as Wes's thumb brushed against his nipple (and Katie hummed her approval into his shoulder), trying to keep some semblance of self-control because even if his workroom had a lock, sound could carry, and--

And then Wes was kissing lower while Katie tugged at his waistband, and everything else faded away as it started to overwhelm him, and the world consisted solely of Wes and Katie and kissing and sucking and heat and more and don't stop and stay with me I need you both and so good too good don't stop please more more more!

Wes's head snapped up. "Did you just say something?" Trip doubted he had it left in him to speak, so he opted for shaking his head dazedly.

"No, I heard it too." Katie wrapped her arms around his shoulders.

Oh no. "Um, yeah. About that." Suddenly, Trip was acutely aware that he was pretty much naked with his two equally pretty much naked best friends. He tried to put some distance between himself and them, but Katie tightened her hold and Wes sat up so he could look him in the face.

He hung his head guiltily. "Sometimes, when Xybrians are-- well, you know, thoughts can… spill over to the other person."

There was a long, unpleasant pause, and then everything came out at once. "I'm sorry, I should've told both of you before, but things happened so fast, a-and I honestly didn't think something like that could happen to non-telepaths. Especially two at the same time."

There was another long pause, long enough for Trip to start fearing the worst… and then Wes nudged him and Katie.

He grinned at Trip easily. "I'm not sure if you've noticed Trip, but the only person who feels bad about this is you."

Trip managed a grin back as he felt relief wash over him-- and then something else entirely when he felt a kiss in his hair.

"So, where were we again?" He could hear the smirk in Katie's tone.

He laughed nervously as he leaned into her. "I, um, was so worried that you two would react badly I guess I forgot."

"Don't worry about it." Wes was ginning at him again, but it was much different than his previous one. "We'll just start all over."
