I didn't understand what the red clad spaceman was doing at my door. And I really didn't understand when he exclaimed he needed me. I Thought he and Simon were a thing, at least on the surface. I'll admit he and I messed around a bit behind the dwarfs back but now he's asking for more.

I let him in but I'm weary because Simon could be close behind. How awkward it would be if we were caught by him like this. He thinks we are all "friends" with no secrets and believe me, I treasured that but Lewis...tempted me. He was Simon's and I took him away so effortlessly. I feel like a big jerk.

"You shouldn't come here." I say to him in a threatening voice. "I told you to keep things professional when I'm not at the factory. Right now, you are doing unnecessary things."

He nods sadly in agreement but then perks up a bit. "Look, just listen. I really do need you."

"Stop saying that." I wave my hand as if to wave away his words. "We mess around sometimes but I'm not Simon's replacement. Go back to him. Go mess around with him."

My words dampen his spirits but he doesn't give up. "But I... I don't want Simon anymore. To be honest you're..." His face turns red and he looks at me shyly. "You're the one I've wanted this whole time. I want to be with you, Duncan. I want to do more than mess around. I want everyone to know we are together."

I'm done. Simon will be torn up so bad over this and yet I'm blushing from this man's words. "Lewis... I'm flattered but what about Simon?You can't just abandon him. Peoples feelings aren't things to be messed with. I'll admit that messing around was bad but full out leaving Simon is wrong."

"I know." He says, in quick agreement. "But I didn't just leave him. I told him I wanted to break up and surprisingly, he took it fine. He simply nodded in agreement and said "see you later, Shitlord!" then ran off to pig island."

Relief washes over me. "Oh my, Notch. That's great! You didn't tell him anything about us though?..."

"Nope." He says like it was never a big deal. "He didn't need to know all the dirty details."

Blood rushes to my face and awkwardly clear my throat. "Ahem, I see. Well then, everything miraculously worked out in the end."

He grins then winks at me. "Yep, so any chance you want to mess around a bit now?"

I grin happily. "I was wondering when you were going to ask that."
