04: Fancy Drinks and Death Wishes

Clare's POV

Okay, strange. Just yesterday, Eli was ready to snap Adam's neck and now they both want to talk to me…together? I'm happy all of this has blown over but I'm honestly still pretty ticked off with the both of them. I contemplate all this as I freshen up my makeup and head out the door.

Eli's POV

I look over at Adam looking very uncomfortable in Morty's passenger seat. The way he is fiddling with his thumbs and biting him lip makes me think he's going to have an anxiety attack at any moment now.

"How do you know she's going to be okay with this?" Adam asks frantically.

"How do you know she's not?" I retort.

"Um, I don't know, does SAINT CLARE mean nothing to you?" he yells. I can't help but smirk at how frazzled he is.

"Look, we're not going to push it on her, just merely suggest it," I say calmly.

"Fine, but when she decides to kill us both, you're going first so I have time to make my getaway," he mutters. I shoot him a mocking glare but laugh at the panic filling Adam's voice. We pull up to the Dot and walk in to wait for Clare.

Adam's POV

This is not going to end well.

Clare's POV

I walk into the Dot and see Eli and Adam sipping coffee. I wave at the both of them as I walk towards them. Eli smirks at me while Adam weakly waves back at me. He must still feel awkward about everything that has happened. Can I really blame him? I sit down across from the both of them with an extravagant coffee drink in front of me.

"Got your favorite. A frappe with whipped cream, hazelnut shavings, and a cherry on top," Eli says with a…smile?

"What do you want, Goldsworthy?" I say as I look at my bribe. He only gets me this when he wants or needs something. I figured this out a long time ago, but decided to let him keep buying them for me.

"What do you mean?" Eli asks innocently. Adam elbows him in his side. What is wrong with these two?

"Spit it out, already," I say impatiently. This is getting really annoying.

"Maybe Adam should explain," Eli says brightly. Adam gives Eli a look that could turn a person to stone.

Adam's POV

You bastard.

Clare's POV

"Well…go ahead," I coax.

"Okay Clare…uh, you know you're one of my best friends, right?" Adam hestitates.

"Yeah…" I say, motioning for him to continue.

"And you know I have feelings for you…"

"Uh huh," I mutter awkwardly.

"But…you're my best friends' girlfriend," He says obviously avoiding the question.

"Okay, can we stop pointing out the obvious?" I say annoyed.

Adam looks down trying to find the rest of his words. "Look what he's trying to say is," Eli interrupts him, "we've found a way to get past this."

"Okay, what is it?" I ask hopefully. Anything to stop the tension.

"Clare…I want to…well we want to…"

"What?" I say as I take a sip of my drink.

"We want to share…you?" Eli finishes. I choke on my drink and give him the fiercest look I have given anyone. Did I hear that correctly?

"You want to what?" I ask darkly, giving him a chance to take it back.

"We want to share you, Clare," Adam mumbles with his head in his arms.

"Funniest joke ever guys…seriously, don't mess around like that," I say hoping they're kidding.

"We're not kidding," Eli murmurs.

"," I say sternly.

"Clare! We're not kidding!" Eli says as he throws his hands up in the air.

"YOU WHAT!" I yell as I shoot up from my seat.

Eli's POV

Goddammit.

Adam's POV

I wonder how she's going to do it. Gun? Knife? Drowning? Slow torture?

Eli's POV

"Clare, calm down," I say as she starts to walk out of the Dot. She turns around sharply.

"You don't get to tell me to calm down, Elijah!" she yells. I hate when she uses my full name when she's mad at me. I see other Dot customers turn their heads to see the "drama." I take her wrist and lead her out of there with Adam following closely behind.

"Let go of me!" she say yanking her arm from me.

"Clare! It's not that big of a deal," I say sternly.

"Yeah, it kind of is. Eli, you're asking me be your guys' play thing! People get hurt in those types of relationships!" Ugh, Adam was right.

"Clare, this is different. We're trying to make this situation better," I justify to her.

"Right, sure, because you couldn't have tried, I don't know…growing the hell up! I can't believe you would even think to do something like this! You too, Adam!"

Adam's POV

Now it's my time to save Eli and mines ass. "Why can't you just try? It's the only way we can fix this. I can't just stop liking you, Clare. It's not that simple," I say quietly. I see her eyes soften and her demeanor become less stoic.

"What would everyone think?" she asks meekly.

"No one else has to know. It can just be between us three," Eli chimes in.

"Yeah, and trust me, it's not gonna be like the creepy one's you see on the news," I joke. Clare cracks a smile. Victory! Maybe she will say 'yes'.

Clare sighs exasperatedly, "Fine, but if this gets messy, I'm out."

Eli's POV

I love you, Adam!

Adam's POV

Damn, I'm good.

Clare's POV

I cannot believe I've agreed to this. Both of them kiss me on opposite cheeks. That's very cliché. I chuckle quietly at the thought. As long as this situation gets handled I guess, in a bizarre, unorthodox way, but handled nonetheless. Temporarily that is.

"So…who gets the first date?" I ask with a smile.

"I do!" Adam and Eli say at the same time. I look at them, with a confused look.

"Dude, come on, you've had how many dates with her," Adam huffs.

"Exactly, I've had more, I win," Eli retorts.

"Guys, come on, can't you settle this maturely?" I say impatiently. Eli and Adam both look at each other with determined looks on their faces.

"Rock, paper, scissors?" Adam suggests.

"Isn't that how we solve everything?" Eli asks with a smirk. I roll my eyes but let them continue.

"Rock, paper, scissors," they both chant, "SHOOT!"

Who do you think should get the date?

A. Eli

B. Adam

C. Both [that would be interesting…hm]

I'll let you decide :D
