Chapter 14
"I'm home!"
The tanned male's familiar voice rang within the four walls of the house as he opened the door, alerting its other two occupants of his presence, smiling as he heard two familiar voices answering 'Welcome home' at the same time. Forgetting his tiredness, Aomine immediately headed to the living room, fully aware that the other two would be there, not the least bit surprised to see the blond seated comfortably between Kagami's legs since he does the same thing when waiting for the red-head—Kise's job allows him to return home early and whoever among Aomine and Kagami arrives first would cuddle with the blond as they waited for the other to arrive. Shaking his head fondly, Aomine began to remove his coat—it was getting pretty cold nowadays—throwing it haphazardly over the couch's armrest before proceeding to kick off his shoes, not noticing the murderous aura rising from a particular someone. And when he threw his socks carelessly on the floor, the tanned male was shocked to see some unknown flying object, more commonly known as the remote control flying towards him. And with his reaction time slowed due to shock, all Aomine could do was to yelp in pain as he was hit square on the face by said 'UFO'.
"Oww!" Aomine groaned, rubbing his nose. "What the hell? Why did you do that?"
"How many times do I have to tell you?" Kagami uttered, eyes twitching while a vein popped from his forehead. "Your coat goes to the coat rack, shoes on the shoe rack…"
"…And socks on the black laundry basket-ssu." Kise finished, shaking his head in mild displeasure.
Aomine grimaced, berating himself for not being careful as he finally came to the conclusion that Kagami wasn't the only one who acts like a housewife, remembering that Kise posses that kind too. So with a scratch on the back of his head, Aomine apologized, picking up the things he had thrown so carelessly, looking like an obedient child. "Sorry, I'm putting everything to their respective places now." And no one would understand just how relieved he was when his 'wives'— Kise and Kagami sure act like one—nodded at his actions with approval before returning to watch whatever show it is on the television contently.
After he was done putting his things to their proper places, the tanned male walked over to the two, planting a feather light kiss on Kagami's lips before doing the same to Kise. "What are you watching?" Aomine asked before he took a seat beside his boyfriends, who was now seated properly, making it so that Kise was between both him and Kagami.
"Nothing interesting," Kagami answered with a shrug, blood-red eyes reflecting annoyance at the television. "Just some lame game show that no contestant could ever win."
"How was your day at work, Aomine-cchi?" The blond asked instead, not wanting to talk about the game show when he knew he could be watching some cool movie—it's just that none of his two companions would let him watch his movie collection.
"Tiring," The tanned male even yawned to prove his point. "Not to mention annoying." A scowl made itself known upon his lips. "There's actually a bunch of men who ended up beating each other just because one of them took the other's pizza box and it's only the box, the box!" He exclaimed in exasperation, "I mean I could understand if there's actually a pizza in it, but no! It's just the box! Could you believe that?!"
"…people this days." Was the only thing Kagami could say, sweat dropping at the unusual event.
"Now enough of me," Aomine waved his hand in dismissal. "What about you?"
"Don't ask," Kagami answered, shaking his head. "My day is most likely the same as yours only with a little modification."
And when it was Kise's turn to tell them about his day at work, the blond simply remained silent as he shrink back in his seat, not really wanting to talk. This particular action, of course, made Aomine and Kagami more curios, and maybe just a little bit worried. Usually, it was Kise who'd be the most excited in telling what happened about his work, but now, he seemed reluctant. With questioning eyes both males prompted the blond to tell them. The blond refused to at first, but after much persuading from his boyfriends' part, Kise began to tell them.
"A costumer," The blond hesitated but continued at the sight of Kagami's and Aomine's raised eyebrows. "A costumer harassed me today…ssu"
The tanned male nodded, "Oh, so that's it, a costumer hara…" He stopped, eyes widening as Kise's words finally sunk in. "Wait! What?"
"Someoneharassedmeatworktoday." Kise said as fast as he could, actually hoping that he wouldn't be understood, unfortunately, Kagami's keen ears successfully managed to pick up every word he said.
"First question, is it a girl or a boy?" Kagami asked.
"A guy-ssu." Kise answered lowly.
Kagami took a deep breath, "What did he do?" He questioned, trying to remain calm, whilst on the other side, Aomine was already seething with rage.
Kise swallowed, "He…He slung his arms around my shoulder, then he called me cute and asked me if I wanted to go and play with him, which I totally don't get, by the way." He paused, and then went on, realizing that since he started talking, he might as well finish it. "…after that, he…he touched me-ssu."
"Where?" Aomine asked in a cold voice. "Tell me, where did he touch you?"
"My…" The blond then whispered the next words, and Aomine fumed—Kise had just said the 'a' word.
Silence…
Kagami's eyes narrowed, "Why didn't you tell us soon enough?"
"I'm scared-ssu." Kise looked down, "I'm worried that Kagami-cchi and Aomine-cchi would do something rash and that you both might end up in trouble for hurting someone."
"Hurt someone? I won't do something like that," Aomine shook his head. "I'll kill the bastard once I get my hands on him." He growled out angrily, proceeding to stand up. "Tell what the bastard looks like and I'll hunt him down."
Kise immediately grabbed Aomine's hand to stop the tanned male. "Wait Aomine-cchi! It's fine already-ssu."
"Fine? How could something like that be fine?" Kagami asked, the tone of his voice was high.
"I might have punched him on the face," Kise admitted. "Twice." And somehow, that one emphasized word made Aomine sit back down, now a little more calm but still pissed off.
Kagami blinked; surprised at what he heard since he refused to believe that sweet, adorable Kise would hurt someone. "You did that? Twice?"
"…or thrice." Kise shrugged, "I'm not really sure because I got pretty mad. I have a tendency to be a little violent when I got really angry-ssu."
Aomine and Kagami swallowed, sharing a meaningful look as dark blue met with blood red, realizing that whoever harassed the blond more or less awakened the pride of lions sleeping within the Kise;—they shuddered as they remembered what happened after they began an all out war in the supermarket—their resolve to never anger the younger becoming much stronger than before.
"Also, Takao-cchi kicked him on the shin and he did it twice too." Kagami sweat-dropped, that's another scary person for you. "And Murasakibara-cchi, my boss, dragged the guy out and told him that if he ever see his face again he's send him to jail without hesitation-ssu." Kise shuddered, "That's the first time I've ever seen Murasakibara-cchi so angry."
"Well, that's a good thing then." Kagami declared, finally managing to calm down. "The guy got what he deserved so there's no need for us to kill someone."
"That doesn't make feel any better at all!" Aomine exclaimed, deciding that it was time to reveal the reason why he was so angry. "What I mean is that I haven't even touched Kise there and some bastard already managed to do that, and to top it all, I'm one of the boyfriends!" The tanned male complained before adding, "Seriously, I am the pervert here!"
Kise almost instantly turned as red as Kagami's hair, "Ehh?"
Kagami on the other hand face-palmed while mumbling, "I can't believe you just said that."

After the harassment issue, the trio's relationship progressed normally, well, at least as normal as it could get for someone in a three-way relationship. The three of them would occasionally do the things normal couples do, like watching movies, going out on 'dates' and whatnot. So all in all, everything's how it should be and thus everyone was happy…Not… Aomine was starting to think that there were some things that just weren't right. One of these is the fact that, even though they had been together for almost three months now, they hadn't slept with Kise at the middle yet. Another one is that Kagami would almost always hit him every time he tried as much as to touch the blond. But most of all, the thing that was making everything not quite right is what he voiced out one night while him and Kagami were hanging out in their room, waiting for Kise to finish showering.
"Oi, Kagami," The tanned male began, nudging the red-head who was currently busy reading some lame book. "I have a question and before you say it's something insignificant I'll tell you now that it's not." He quickly added as he saw Kagami raise an eyebrow. "This is really important, like a 'matter of life and death' kind of important."
"What is it then?" Kagami queried, closing the book in his hand.
"The three of us have been together for three months now, right?" Aomine asked, looking at the red-head intently, "And today's our three-month anniversary, correct?"
"Yes, isn't that the reason why we went out on a date just a few hours ago?" Kagami inquired, brows furrowing in mild confusion. "What exactly are you trying to say?"
"Don't you think it's about time for the three of us to do something else?" Aomine stated with a straight-face.
"Har?" The red-head's confusion grew, "You don't want to go out on dates anymore?"
The tanned male shook his head, "That's not what I meant."
"Then what?" Kagami asked. "Just tell me and stop dilly-dallying."
Bluntly, Aomine finally voiced out what the conversation is all about, "Isn't it about time that we have a threesome?" Then he added, "To be honest, I'm deprived."
Kagami's face colored, not quite believing the words that came out of Aomine's mouth, surprised at how his boyfriend said those words as if it was the most normal thing in the universe. "Aomine, you idiot!" He then threw his book over at Aomine, luckily the targeted male managed to evade the book before it hit him on the face—the damn book was hardbound too.
"Come on Kagami, I know that you're also holding back." Aomine explained, "I saw the way you look at Kise."
"Idiot," Kagami repeated. "Can't you tell that Kise isn't ready yet?"
Aomine bit his lip, "Well…" Then he sighed, running his fingers through his navy colored hair. "Ahh, damn it."
Kagami smiled sympathetically, knowing that Aomine was already at his limit; actually, the red-head knew that he was too. "I know how you feel. I perfectly understand what you wanted, but we have to think about Kise, too."
Aomine let out a deep breath once again, defeated. "I know, I know. It's just that, it's hard to hold back when it comes to Kise. No offense Kagami but I never felt this way before, not even when it's you."
"None taken, I feel the same way too." Was the other's response.
"Bastard." Aomine grumbled, making Kagami smile.
Unknown to them, Kise had heard everything.
The blond was actually about to enter the room when he heard Aomine ask that question, making him blush up to the tips of his ears. He knew it was wrong to listen, regardless of the fact that he was part of what his boyfriends were conversing about. And as every word echoed in his ears, the blond decided that it was his turn to do something for the other two. So after counting from one to ten five times, Kise took a deep breath and swung the door open.
"I'm done!" Kise grinned widely, sitting beside Kagami on the bed, noting that Aomine immediately got up from where he was seated on the floor to sit beside him. "Sorry for making you wait-ssu!"
"It's fine." The tanned male replied before spreading his arms wide, inviting him for a hug. "Come here."
Kise happily obliged, resting his head on Aomine's lean chest who immediately wrapped both arms around him, feeling Kagami shift to hug him from behind. Kise thought it was nice, feeling so secured, so cared for…so loved. The three of them remained like that for who knows how long, simply enjoying the warmth radiating from each other. It was silent, serene, peaceful, and all three of them wished that they could stay like that for eternity, thinking that if what they have is a sin then heaven be damned, they would much rather willingly go to hell if it meant being together like this.
But then, Kise noticed something. Kagami and Aomine's hands wouldn't go much lower than his waist, making him remember what he heard before he entered the room, reminding him of the decision he had made. Slowly and with much uncertainty, he looked up, "Aomine-cchi, Kagami-cchi…" He began lowly, receiving an 'hmm' from both males, indicating that they were listening. "Can I ask you something-ssu?"
"What is it, Kise?" It was Kagami who spoke up.
Closing his eyes, the blond let out the words he wanted to say in a rather shaky voice. "Do you want to…" He paused for a while, gathering all the courage he could get. "…do something else other than hugging and kissing-ssu?" He finished, cheeks tinted with a dark scarlet shade.
"What do you mean?" It was Aomine's turn to speak.
"Do you want to have…with me-ssu?" Kise asked, now playing with the hem of his night shirt, fidgeting. Both Kagami and Aomine stared at the blond between them with wide eyes. They have to strain their ears to hear everything Kise said but they knew they heard it right. Kise had just asked them if they wanted to have...with him.
Aomine wanted to say yes so much, but instead, what came out of his mouth were something that came from the shock of hearing the golden eyed male say those things. "Wha—why are you suddenly asking something like that?"
"…I'm sorry for eavesdropping-ssu." The blond mumbled, "But I heard you and Kagami-cchi talking and I just…want to do something for both of you." He explained, now unconsciously dropping the –ssu from the end of his sentence out of mixed nervousness and shyness, a habit he never outgrew from, something that the two learned from living with the blond.
"Don't Kise," Aomine shook his head slightly, "We don't want you to force yourself into doing something like this when you're still not ready just for our sakes."
"But aren't you…holding back for my sake, too?" Kise asked, golden eyes questioning.
"Don't think about it." Kagami patted the blond's head lightly. "We'll be fine."
"…But I wanted to…and I heard—" The blond began but was cut off by the red-head.
"Kise, if this is about what you heard, then the more reason you shouldn't be doing this." The red-head explained, "What we really want is for you to want something like this on your own, not because of what you heard."
"This is the kind of thing that needs much thought, you know?" Aomine followed-up, "Because making love isn't simply doing a favor, it's you, giving yourself to someone else without reserve."
Kagami, if the situation wasn't so serious, would have made fun of Aomine for his words and for being a diehard romantic, however, they were in a serious situation and Aomine's words held the truth. So instead, he gave a slight nod, "He's right, you don't do just because the person you're with wanted it. You only do it when both of you, mutually, desired it."
Hearing those words, Kise realized that he has fallen in love with both Aomine and Kagami ten times more. He knew that if he was with someone else, they would immediately jump at whatever chance they got. But Aomine and Kagami weren't like other people, Kise knew. He could see it, feel it, the love they had for him, how they were trying so hard to protect him—even from themselves—how they refused to take advantage of his innocence even after he already gave them the permission, how the navy haired male and the red-head told him no despite the fact that they so badly wanted to say yes; Kise knew it all. And somehow through all of it, Kise gradually began realizing that he really do want it, not because of what he heard, but because he loves them, wholly so, that he was willing to surrender himself to them, fully and without reserve.
With a newly regained confidence, Kise looked up at the two, determination shining upon his eyes. "I want it."
"Kise, we just told you." Kagami shook his head.
"I really want it-ssu." The blond repeated, blushing at how bold he sounded.
Aomine and Kagami suddenly stared at each other with widened eyes, hearing the usual ending in the blond's words; the –ssu at the end of the blond's words indicating that he knew what he was talking about and that he was certain of his decision.
"Har?" The two chorused.
"And I'm not doing this because of what I heard." Kise's blush darkened, "I thought about it, and realized that maybe I just used that as a reason because I don't know how to tell you-ssu."
Aomine silently asked for permission from Kagami, and when the red-head nodded, Aomine leaned down to deliver a deep passionate kiss on the blond's lips which the slightly younger male returned right away, golden eyes fluttering shut. And just from that, the two knew then that Kise wasn't lying. The blond really want to…with them and with this knowledge, Kagami buried his face on the crook of Kise's neck, kissing it, both males relishing in the sounds that the blond was letting out. After a little while, Aomine and Kagami switched tasks; the red-head shifting to be able to kiss the blond on the lips while Aomine took his place. And then the two moved a few inches away from the blond, taking in the sight of their sunshine all red-faced while breathing heavily. The tanned male lovingly caressed Kise's flushed face, smiling softly as his eyes met with the blond's golden orbs. Not wanting to be left out, the red wrapped his hands tightly and affectionately around the blond's waist, nibbling Kise's ears playfully, making the blond gasp.
"Kagami-cchi…" The blond let out, followed by, "…Aomine-cchi," as he felt the tanned male's hand exploring the inside of his shirt.
Blue and red met, understanding what the other wanted to say even without the use of words. With all the care they could manage, Aomine and Kagami began to deftly remove everything that was in the way, making Kise blush. And when the tiniest article of clothing was removed and discarded somewhere on the floor, Kise realized that he couldn't hear anything else anymore; blaming his loudly beating heart. Everything was hazy and warm and it was pleasant. With his back resting on Kagami's familiar lean chest, his eyes locked on Aomine, Kise knew that everything was finally how it should be.
But then both males suddenly stopped and Kise blinked in confusion. "Kagami-cchi, Aomine-cchi?"
"Kise…" Surprisingly, Aomine was the one hesitating. "Are you really sure? We can stop here, just say it."
"You know, it's fine if you back out." Kagami followed suit, "We'll understand and besides, we could wait, no matter how long."
Kise closed his eyes, preventing the tears that were threatening to fall from his golden orbs. Even after everything, his boyfriends were still giving him the chance to back down, and hearing how much they're willing to do for him just made Kise's resolve stronger. Slowly his right hand moved to take one of Aomine's hands, his left doing the same to Kagami's.
Smiling softly, eyes still closed, the blond answered. "I'm sure about this-ssu." He then opened his eyes. "Like what I said, I'm doing this because I want to, not because of the conversation I heard." His smile widened just a little bit, his eyes glinted with both confidence and certainty. "I'm doing this because I love you…because I trust you…because I know that you wouldn't hurt me…" Then he whispered softly, "Take me."
Two voices answered him at once, "Then, allow us to love you."
"Kagami-cchi, Aomine-cchi…" Kise's hold on their hands tightened, "Love me."
With a soft click, the room dimmed.
And as the light faded, only the beautiful music of their union remained.

A/N: The End…NOT… *hides under a rock* Gyah! It's a joke! Please don't kill me, it's not the end yet, there's like a very few more chapters to go! Please let me live. *looks for another place to hide as first rock got destroyed* I'm sorry! I know its lame! I also apologize if I didn't write the love making scene. I have a feeling that if I do write it, the whole thing would be ruined…Besides, just take a look at the sheer lameness of the last scene (I'm pretty convinced that I'm terrible in writing lemons *sobs* I'm a disgrace, I know.)
And gosh, Aomine's natural pervertedness is just…he actually admitted he was a pervert. *giggles*
Anyway, I'm going to bed now…my back is killing me with a knife and how it was able to do that, I have no idea. (Am I the only one with allergies that actually hurts instead of just itching?)
