It had never begun like this.
It had begun in a slew of affairs to which each party would have probably denied regardless of who was asking.
It had been messy and heartbreaking though while still messy now wasn't as heartbreaking.
It had taken Feliks to convince them surprisingly enough not to behave this way though he hated helping Natalya out in anyway.
Alfred was the first to awkwardly confess to Toris and then to Natalya that he'd been seeing both of them on the side.
Toris was next to admit that while he'd fallen for Natalya first, he'd come to love Alfred just as much while staying with him and somehow he'd fallen into such a relationship with the American as well.
Natalya was last though she had felt that at this point, they both knew that she'd been seeing the two of them; she reluctantly went forward to confess as well.
Feliks's suggestion of forming a big circle of love ended up being their choice much to the Polish man's delight.
Natalya never could explain to anyone however how'd she'd ended up with two great and caring men by her side: one hyperactive and lively, the other calmer and definitely very thoughtful.
Toris though whenever he explained how they'd ended up in a polyamorous relationship, tried to hide the cheating and affair based origins as he still suffered the occasional sleepless night over them and intense guilt.
Alfred obliviously told the whole story from the affairs to where they are now.
He happily explained how they'd come from lies and jealousy to a point where they were happy to just be together and had thrown all of their old lies out the window.
The American told it like an action packed story and a learning experience all at once which never seized to delight the listener and fill both Toris's and Natalya's hearts up with warmth that was either quickly hidden or shown so clearly depending on which one was spotted during Alfred's retelling of their romance's beginnings.
Alfred never seemed to tire of thrilling his two true loves' this way, and so sometimes it seemed as if he'd made it a personal mission of his to retell such a story to those that had already heard and pretend that he'd forgotten that he'd already told them.
It never became too noticeable of a trend of his until he told the same person again within five minutes of already telling them.
Natalya may 'punish' him though the three of them knew that she like Toris had forgiven him for telling their love story over again practically from the moment he began again.
Alfred felt very lucky to have such lovely significant others.
