Yamaguchi slowly woke up and laid in bed replaying the events of the previous evening.

Once he had calmed down some, the three of them had sat in the living room and had a very long conversation. The longer Yamaguchi had sat and talked the more he had relaxed and adjusted to his new reality. Especially once they got past the sex. Talking about it anyway.

They had been talking about something completely different, but that was all Yamaguchi could think about so he just blurted out "what about sex?"

At which point it became uncomfortably quiet. Shimada had looked at him and cautiously said "what about the sex? Yamaguchi we don't have to do anything that you're uncomfortable with. Yusuke and I have each other for sex too. So..."

Yamaguchi had for some reason felt disappointed by that answer, "oh...right. So you don't want to have sex with me? I mean that makes sense, I guess." After this Yamaguchi started mumbling demeaning things about himself, "I mean to you I am probably some dumb kid. I am not very attractive. I'm too skinny. I.."

"Dammit Yamaguchi that's not what I meant. Yusuke, a little help please."

At that Takinou leaned into Yamaguchi and said in a very low voice that promised very dirty things, "oh we definitely want to fuck you."

That got him a pillow to the head "idiot, that's not helping."

"Sure it is. Look at him blushing. He's adorable when he blushes like that."

Yamaguchi muttered "pervert." But he smiled a little when he said it.

Takinou straightened up and said "seriously, what we mean is that we want you to be comfortable and happy more than anything. The physical stuff can all move at your pace."

After that Yamaguchi felt better and headed to the kitchen to start dinner.

Shimada followed him in and stood for a minute before saying "Well, if you're OK. I guess we'll go ahead and take off and give you your space. Let you wrap your head around things."

Yamaguchi quickly turned away but not before Shimada saw the hurt look on his face.

Shimada walked up behind him and set a hand on his shoulder "Hey, we don't have to leave. I just don't want to smother you and overstay."

Yamaguchi didn't turn around, but he quietly asked "would you stay for dinner?"

Not only did they stay for dinner and gush over how good the curry Yamaguchi made was, but they stayed after dinner as well.

The three of them had talked for a while and then turned on the television and watched evening programs until Yamaguchi eventually fell asleep curled up with his head on Shimada's shoulder.

He vaguely remembered being embarrassed when he woke up and Takinou was carrying him to his bedroom, but he was exhausted and quickly fell back asleep.

Yamaguchi finally rolled out of bed. He was embarrassed again to see he was only wearing his boxers, meaning one or both of the other two men had undressed him.

He quickly showered, brushed his teeth and wondered downstairs mentally going through the cleaning he needed to get done this weekend.

When he rounded the corner downstairs he was surprised to find Takinou and Shimada in his kitchen cooking breakfast.

Takinou smiled when he saw him and walked toward him. When he reached Yamaguchi he slid his had around the back of his neck and gave him a kiss on the forehead "Good morning! How did you sleep?"

Yamaguchi smiled "um good. You guys are still here?" He noticed that Shimada had on some of his sleep pants and one of his shirts and that Takinou had on a pair of sweats that Tsukishima had left at some point.

Shimada smiled and nodded "Yeah, I hope that's OK. We slept in the guest room. Have a seat, breakfast is ready. We were just getting ready to wake you."

"I didn't think either of you could cook?"

Takinou chuckled "Breakfast is the only thing we can cook. We're too lazy to get out in the morning to get take out so we learned that one."

The three sat down to eat and they discussed plans for the weekend. Yamaguchi looked around and said "I was going to clean, but the house is not as dirty as I swear it was yesterday?"

Shimada grinned and responded "We may have picked up a little. And swept, vacuumed, and mopped, and dusted."

Takinou followed with "we can't cook, but we can clean. We did your laundry too."

Yamaguchi didn't know what to say "You guys didn't have to do that."

"We know we didn't have to, but we wanted to. Besides we were hoping if we did, you might spend the weekend with us."

Yamaguchi's felt so much emotion right that minute. No one had taken care of him in a while and it felt nice that they did all of that just because they wanted to spend time with him.

"OK. Sounds good. What are we doing?"

Takinou smiled at him and said "Nothing terribly exciting. We are going shopping today and then this evening we have a volleyball game."

Shimada added "Ukai and Ittetsu will be at the game so it will be your first opportunity to tell someone without it being a large group of people."

Yamaguchi was nervous about people finding out he had two mates, but it had to happen at some point and he didn't want Takinou and Shimada to think he was ashamed of them. "Yeah, that sounds great."

It turned out that Yamaguchi got a chance to tell someone about his mates before the volleyball game.

They were at the mall when he heard a high pitched squeal followed by his name. "Crap, it's Yacchi. Which means Tsukki is probably with her."

He must have visibly tensed because Takinou leaned over and asked "Do you want us to get lost?"

Yamaguchi looked at him and then at Tsukki and Yacchi weaving their way in and out of people. Yamaguchi stood up straight and suddenly looked very determined "No. Stay."

When Tsukishima and Yacchi reached them Tsukishima skeptically eyed the three men before addressing Yamaguchi "Hey. What are you guys doing here? I thought for sure you would be with your new mate."

Yamaguchi lifted his chin and said "I am."

Tsukishima raised an eyebrow and looked around "So...where is she?"

"They are right here." Yamaguchi said as he gestured to the two men beside him.

"Tch that's not funny. You shouldn't joke about something like a soul mate. Pathetic."

Yacchi started to admonish her boyfriend when Takinou's hand shot out and grabbed the front of his shirt "Look you little shit. You can say whatever you want about me, but.."

Yamaguchi's soft voice cut in "It's OK. Let him go. It's a reaction I should probably get used to anyway."

As Takinou was pulling his hand back Tsukishima saw that Yamaguchi's name was clearly printed on the man's wrist right under Shimada's. He also now noticed that Shimada had an arm wrapped protectively around his freckled friend.

"I'm sorry." Tsukishima looked off to the side for a minute "Yamaguchi could I speak to you for a minute."

Takinou bristled and Shimada pulled Yamaguchi closer to him, but Yamaguchi said "Sure." To his mates he said "I'll be fine, I will be right back."

Tsukishima led him down one of the halls that led to a restroom area and stopped once they were out of the crowd. He stood for a minute before saying "Yamaguchi, I am sorry."

"Um it's OK. I know it's weird, I..."

Tsukishima cut him off "No. I mean I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry about what I just said. I'm sorry for not being around when you needed me. I'm sorry for going out with Yacchi when I knew you liked her. I'm sorry that the only friend you had sucks at being human. I'm glad you got two mates. You deserve to have all the love in the world. If anyone gives you shit about it I will make them wish they hadn't."

Yamaguchi didn't know what to say so he just nodded as they turned to walk back out and dammit he was crying again.

But then Tsukki said "So did you have like an orgy last night or did they just take turns with you? Were you in the middle? Oh my God, did they dp you. Seriously how can you walk?"

Yamaguchi finally shouted "Just stop talking. You ruin everything." But he had stopped crying and was now beet red and laughing.

They made their way out and said their goodbyes. Yamaguchi was telling his mates about Tsukishima's apology and how it made him cry. "And then to get me to stop crying he started asking me pervy sex questions...what does dp mean?"

Both of the older men turned bright red and Takinou choked on his drink. Shimada immediately said "Don't worry about it. It's not something we would do." While Takinou muttered "I am going to kill that little shit."
