"Hold on one second!" Adam blurted out, trying not to freak out.
He hurriedly threw his clothes back on, trying not to stumble.
"Where am I supposed to go? You're on the second floor." Fitz whispered, pulling his clothes back on quickly.
Adam looked around, trying not to panic.
"The closet. Hide in the closet." He whispered, opening the door.
Fitz made an amused face and stepped into the closet, kissing Adam quickly before shutting the door. Adam smoothed out his bed and sat down, taking a deep breath before calling out that Eli could come in. The door opened and the raven haired teen came into the room, slipping off his boots and sitting down next to Adam.
"Hey." He said softly.
"Hey. Look, I'm really sorry about last night okay? I feel really bad. I...I didn't mean to get so jealous and start an argument. It just made me upset that he got to kiss you and touch you before me.."
"I know, Eli. I'm sorry that it made you upset, but you have to understand that I like Fitz too. I like both of you."
Eli sighed and put his head in his hands.
"Why? What is so great about him that you can't exclusively like me? Is he better than me or something?"
"Eli, it's not about anyone being better than the other, I just like both of you for different reasons. You both have different qualities that I enjoy. Why are you so mad? It's not like we were dating and I cheated on you. I didn't even know of you sudden feelings for me until last night."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Well as much as I like that you're returning my feelings, it's just a bit sudden and out of the blue. I just didn't think you liked guys since you were going after Clare."
"It's called being bisexual Adam. I've had a crush on you for a while and I didn't know that you also liked other guys. I went after Clare because I didn't know if you'd ever feel the same and I didn't want to hurt myself over unrequited feelings."
"Okay but the only time you ever made them apparent was after you saw me and Fitz kissing."
"Because I was mad okay? I wanted to be the first one. It made me so mad knowing I lost to him."
"It's not a game though Eli, and I don't like that you're treating it like a game. I'm not some prize to fight over."
"I didn't mean that. I'm sorry I just don't know what you could possibly see in Fitz. He bullied us and tormented us."
"He's not like that anymore! He cares about me. He's comforted me and he wants to work with you so that he can still have me. He understands me."
"Then where is he? If he wants to talk to me so bad why isn't he here?"
Fitz swung open the closet door and came out into the center of the room, coming over to Eli and yanking him up by his shirt.
"I'm right here. Let's talk." He said, throwing him back down onto the bed and sitting on the other side of Adam.
He reached down to hold Adam's hand and give it a small squeeze. Eli narrowed his eyes at Fitz and held Adam's other hand.
"So... you got something to say to me Eli?" Fitz said, looking the emo teen in the face.
"Why are you doing this?"
"Doing what?"
"This. This whole thing with Adam. Is this some kind of big idea of a joke?"
"What makes you think it's a joke? I can't have feelings for someone?"
"How can you have feelings for him? You've bullied him, misgendered him, threw him into a door, should I continue?"
"I know I did those things, but that's in the past and I APOLOGIZED to him. I'm a different person now. I like Adam. He's a good person and he's made me realize a lot about myself. He's good for me, and I know he's good for you too. I'm willing to share him with you just so he can be happy. That's how much I care about him. How do I know what you're doing is for real? All you've done is throw a little temper tantrum like a big baby."
"Fuck you, Fitz! I've always liked him!"
"Then why are you just now saying something after you KNEW he was with me? It sounds like you're just jealous and want to keep him all for yourself. What about Clare? I thought you liked her."
"I don't want to be with her! I want Adam! I just didn't know he liked other guys until I unfortunately saw your lips all over his."
"Hey that kiss was all the way consensual. He was all over me inside the house. Letting me rub him and touch him all over, making the cutest noises."
Adam's face turned red with embarrassment as he looked down and bit his lip.
"Oh yeah? Well I got to taste him, touch him and make him moan. I was the first to ever do that. So he obviously likes me way more."
Fitz laughed and looked into Eli's green eyes, leaning over and getting right in his face.
"Well, emo boy, right before you came here to cry, I was comforting him, you know since he was so upset about you and your little bullshit stunt you pulled last night, I got to do the next best thing."
Eli's eyes widened, soon turning into a scowl.
"What are you saying?" He growled.
"Why don't you take a guess."
Eli looked at Adam who had been quiet through their whole exchange.
"Adam, did you...?"
Adam blushed and freed his hands to cover his face.
"Yes. We had sex."
Eli turned to Fitz and glared at him like he was ready to kill.
"You son of a bitch!" He said, lunging for him.
"STOP! Eli stop!" Adam cried, coming between the two of them.
He took both of their hands again, standing in the middle. He turned to Eli and kissed him softly, then he turned to Fitz and kissed him too.
"Please... can we all just sit together and come up with a solution that we can all be happy with? I don't want fighting. I want a peaceful compromise."
"Fine." Eli said flatly, sitting back on the bed.
Adam and Fitz sat back down, Adam in the middle again. Eli leaned over to kiss Adam again, looking at Fitz smugly while he did. Fitz smirked, finding his attempts to make him mad amusing. He pulled Adam's face to his and started to kiss him deeply, not even bothering to look at Eli. Adam blushed and pulled away, feeling a thick sexual tension in the air. He hated to admit it but it turned him on slightly that they were in a way fighting over him. Eli glared at Fitz and leaned over to kiss Adam's neck, making the younger boy gasp. He let out a small moan as he felt Eli bite down, leaving a small hickey. Fitz started to kiss and lick the other side of Adam's neck, kissing up to his ear and nibbling at the lobe.
"Uh guys. What are you- hnng - doing?" Adam whined, "We're supposed to be talking."
"That's right, Elijah. Aren't we supposed to be talking about sharing?" Fitz said, smirking at the scowling emo boy.
"Do I have to be with him at the same time when I'm with you, Adam? Like if we went on a date or anything else."
"No, but I would eventually like it if we could all go do something together sometimes. It doesn't have to be right away but eventually I'd like for that to happen."
"Okay. Are we supposed to make a schedule for like when one of us gets you?" Fitz asked.
"I don't think so, I think we would all just have to talk about it." Adam said.
"You're not wanting all three of us to like... do it together right?" Eli asked, blushing slightly at the thought, but still glaring at Fitz.
"Well um... I'd honestly like that Eli, but not unless everyone is okay with it. You clearly won't be so it's not expected."
Fitz smirked at Eli and reached across Adam and put his hand on Eli's thigh.
"I wouldn't be uncomfortable with it. I think Eli would be fun to play with." He said, winking at Eli out of spite.
"S-shut up asshole don't do that!" Eli said, smacking Fitz's hand away and looking away with red cheeks.
"What's wrong? Is the thought turning you on?" Fitz teased.
Adam giggled softly at Eli's reaction. Eli covered his face and turned the other way completely.
"Shut up Fitz!"
"Oh I didn't hear a no!" He said, laughing and poking Eli's back.
Eli groaned and put his face into Adam's pillow.
"Oh come on Eli he's just playing. What's the matter?" Adam asked, laying next to Eli.
"I just have to get used to idea of sharing with him. That's all."
"It's something you want to do, right?"
"Yeah. Only because I want to be with you and I want you happy." Eli said, looking at Adam and softly kissing his lips.
"Thank you, Eli." Adam said, smiling and kissing him back.
Fitz crawled over behind Adam and laid down, wrapping his arm around him and spooning him.
"Come closer Eli, I want you to hold me too." Adam said, tugging on Eli's sleeve.
Eli scooted closer, wrapping his arm around Adam and over Fitz's. Adam buried his face in his chest and listened to him breathe, closing his eyes. He took in the smell of Eli and Fitz's colognes together and sighed softly. He felt happy. He liked where he was at. He felt Fitz burying his face in his neck and hair, kissing the back of his neck and holding him tight. Eli kissed the top of Adam's head and started to rub his arm since Fitz was pressed against his back.
"This is kind of nice." Eli said, closing his eyes.
"Yeah." Fitz said softly.
While Eli was rubbing Adam's arm, he accidentally started to pet Fitz's hair. He stopped and went to pull his hand away but Fitz grabbed his hand softly and put it back on his head. Eli hesitated a bit but then slowly started to pet his hair again. Fitz leaned up and softly kissed Eli's hand, looking over Adam's head at him. Eli blushed and looked away, continuing to pet him.
Suddenly, there was a soft knock at the door, then the sound of it opening slightly.
"Hey Adam, you got a min- what the hell is going on here?"
They all three looked up and saw Drew standing in the doorway.
