*Your POV*
Oh man, that dream was so real. So vivid.
You try to stretch out on the bed but you can't. Your eyes fly open and you look to your left..Gideon. You look to your right...Mitchell.
Oh my god! It wasn't a dream!
You sit up quickly, startling the two men awake. Mitchell pops up and Gideon hops out of the bed and gets into a defensive stance...completely naked. You can't help it, you burst into laughter.
"What the...," Gideon says, confused.
"Good morning, Gideon," you say holding in more laughter. He looks down and grabs a pillow to cover himself. "It's a little too late for that don't you think?" He smiles and you laugh again.
You look at Mitchell and he's fallen back to sleep.
It doesn't seem as though Ilona came back last night. Good. But she could be back any minute now. You shake Mitchell and he opens his eyes and yawns. "I know you were enjoying your sleep but you two are gonna have to go soon."
Gideon is moving around the room finding his clothes. Mitchell finally gets up to do the same. You stay under the sheets as you watch the men dress. I wonder what they're thinking. No time to ask now.
They finally get fully dressed and look at you. "Thank you both for an amazing and...interesting night. I know it started a bit awkward but you more than made up for it."
"I feel like I ran a marathon," Gideon says.
"If you would come running with me you wouldn't feel that way," Mitchell responds. Gideon gives him a look, "Not happening."
"Why?" Mitchell asks. "Because I don't fucking want to, that's why," Gideon says.
Before either of them can say anything else you cut in, "Stop arguing like an old married couple you two. As entertaining as it is..."
"Why do we have to be old?" Mitchell asks.
"Because you're older than me so...you're old."
"Yeah, well we weren't too old for you last night, were we?" Gideon asks.
"Welllllll..." You start and Gideon throws a pillow at you. "Don't make me come over there," he says.
"Oooo I'm so scared."
"You should be. You remember what he did to you last night," Mitchell says.
"He only did it because YOU said you would love to see it."
"I also did it because I wanted to and you liked it," Gideon says walking over to you. He kneels on the bed and moves closer to you. Just as he's about to kiss you, you say, "See you later, captain." He growls and looks at your lips.
"Mitchell, please get the captain before he starts something he can't finish." You smile as Mitchell walks over and pulls Gideon by his arm, "Off we go." Mitchell winks as he opens the door and Gideon walks to the door backwards, his eyes on your the whole time.
You blow them both a kiss and wave. The door closes and you fall back on the bed. "What did I just do?"
Little did you know, you would have to answer that question sooner than later. Ilona had seen the two men leaving the room...
*Ilona's POV*
Mitchell has peeked out first then Gideon. What's this?
Both men walked in the other direction so they hadn't seen her. She waited until they were a safe distance away before walking to the room and opening the door. Act normal, she'll tell you.
She sits up quickly when Ilona walks in. "Good morning," Ilona says.
"Morning," she says quietly.
"Did you and Mitchell have fun last night?" Ilona asks. Her eyes widen and Ilona says, "The date? How was it?"
She lets out a deep sigh, "It was nice. Very nice. Where were you?
I guess we both have secrets to reveal. Ilona looks away as she says, "I was with Joker."
"WHAT?!"
"You heard me...shut up." Ilona glares at her and walk to the window. She stops to pick something up. "Looks like you had some fun too." She throws the bra at her.
"I...uh.." She stops. Ilona looks at her, "I saw them leaving, you naughty girl."
She covers herself with the blanket, "Am I a slut?"
"No," Ilona says, "You had a threesome. One time. With men you know. That doesn't make you a slut...just kinky. I had no idea!"
She peeks from under the blanket.
"How was it?" she asks.
"It was...it was...interesting. It was the hottest thing ever!" She says and squeals. "It was the most adventurous thing I've ever done!"
"You're in the military and you've been shot...but THAT was the most adventurous thing you've done?"
"You know what I mean." She proceeds to tell Ilona about the entire night leading up the the "adventure."
"So Gideon apologized by spanking you and then going down on you? Well, did you accept his apology?" Ilona says with a sly smile.
"It's almost impossible for me to stay angry at that man, but he doesn't make it easy."
"I'm kinda shocked Mitchell initiated it. He doesn't strike me as the type," she says.
"I was just as surprised. But girl, he knows what he's doing. So does Gideon."
"Okay, okay...that's enough." Ilona laughs and she shrugs.
"Just being honest...so you and Joker huh?" She stand up with the blanket wrapped around her and grabs her sweats and a t-shirt.
"This isn't about me and Joker. This is about you and Gideon and Mitchell."
"That's not fair! I told you everything!"
"Nope," Ilona says gathering her shower stuff.
"Come on!"
"Nope."
She grabs her shower stuff as well and she badgers Ilona the entire way to the showers. Even in the shower she won't leave her alone. "You're not gonna stop asking me are you?"
"No."
"Fine, I'll tell you. Can we just go put some clothes on first?"
*Gideon's POV*
He was in the shower just letting the water hit him. Thinking. I can't believe I did that. I don't regret it, but she might. No. She wanted it. He felt himself growing hard thinking about last night. "Not now," he says to himself. Those sweet little moans, her innocent looks hiding how primal she really is.
"Fuck me," he says quietly.
Then something pops into his mind...If I hadn't knocked when I did she and Mitchell probably would have gone the whole way without him. Suddenly he feels angry, jealous.
You have no right to feel that way. If you recall, you do have a girlfriend. Yeah, a girlfriend he really didn't want. He knew who he wanted, but would she have him? What if she wanted Mitchell now? I would be happy for them...yeah, right.
He watched Mitchell fuck her last night, but for some reason thinking of them alone together made him jealous. Maybe now you know how she felt when you told her you were seeing someone.
He started thinking maybe he should just let her and Mitchell be together. No...but I can't stop her.
He turns off the shower and sighs. He really needed to talk to Mitchell and to [your name].
The only thing was he had no idea how to start the conversation.
*Mitchell's POV*
If Gideon hadn't knocked when he did, would she and I have actually had sex?
It seemed to be going in that direction. He'd be lying if he said he didn't want her all to himself. Last night was extremely hot and a new experience for him, he'd never forget it, but he wanted her even more now. Should he tell Gideon? Should he tell her?
He didn't want to hurt Gideon. He cared about Gideon, but he was the one that hurt her. If Gideon had messed up his chances that was his fault and his alone. Sex makes everything complicated, doesn't it? I should have just stayed away. Why did I kiss her again? Because you want her. He shakes his head. He needed to talk to someone and soon.
Mitchell wondered what Gideon and [your name] were thinking right now. Did Gideon want to talk about it too? The only way he would find out is actually talking to him.
But what did she want? She seemed to be in love with Gideon, but when we kissed...She was upset. He hurt her, she had a lot to drink...
"She wanted me whether she was drunk or not..." Mitchell tries to reassure himself. He closes his eyes and tries to clear his mind, but that never happens.
-A FEW DAYS LATER-
*Your POV*
You had decided to talk to Mitchell first. It had been a few days since...THAT and though things weren't awkward you felt that you all could use a little space.
You had come up with an idea that might make things a little easier for everyone. Mitchell opens the door and smiles, but it doesn't meet his eyes.
"Hey Mitchell, can we talk?"
"Sure," He let's you in and closes the door.
"About the other day..." she says, "Not that I didn't enjoy it, but I can't help but think that it has made things a hell of a lot more complicated."
Mitchell nods, "I was thinking the same thing." It's quiet for a time and then there's a knock. Mitchell goes to answer and Gideon walks in. "Hey Gideon."
"Hey princess." He sits down, "Can I assume you two are talking about how to deal with what happened a few days ago?" You and Mitchell nod. "I was just telling Mitchell I had an idea and since you're here now I'll just tell you both." You have their full attention now. You hesitate a little, but start, "I've been talking to Soap for the past few days and there's another mission he's going on in Russia. We may actually catch Makarov this time..."
Mitchell looks at you in shock and Gideon says, "No."
"I got the okay from Irons already. I really need to do this."
"I said no," Gideon says louder this time.
"We all need some time apart to think."
Mitchell nods and Gideon stares at him then back at you. "Do you recall what happened last time?!" he shouts. "You're going again and neither of us will be with you! Are you mad?!"
"You can argue all you want, I'm going."
Gideon stands looking as though he wants to say something, but he just storms out. You look at Mitchell, "I'm sorry. You understand though, right?"
He nods and looks at you, "He loves you, [your name]...and I do too. If something happens to you..." You put a hand on his shoulder, "I'll be fine. I'll try not to get shot this time." You smile. "I know you'll be okay, Mitchell, but I need you to take care of Gideon. He obviously didn't take it well."
"I'll take care of him. Soap better take good care of you or Gideon will end up in prison for murder," he says. You laugh lightly and repeat, "I'll be fine. I'll be back in no time."
"You better be," Mitchell says. You hug him and leave.
You walk to Gideon's room and knock, but there's no answer. I'll get you before I go whether you like it or not.
*Gideon's POV*
He heard the knock and he knows exactly who it is, but he was too busy pacing back and forth. He was seething. Why would she do this?
He wanted to break something. He wanted to shout. He wanted to...cry. I have to talk her out of this.
Gideon walks to the door, pulls it open and there she is about to knock, "Gideon..." He grabs her arm and pulls her into the room.
"Are you still upset with me or something?" he asks.
"No. I should be but I don't want to leave with any bad feelings between us."
"I don't want you leaving at all," he says.
"You are not my protector!" she shouts and he can do nothing but look at her. He walks over to her and kisses her hard. When he pulls away there are tears in her eyes. Fuck. Please don't cry.
"Don't make this any harder than it already is, Gideon," she says. "I'm not trying to make it hard. I'm trying to make it impossible for you to leave," he says.
She shakes her head, "Gideon, stop..."
"I'm in love with you." She looks shocked.
"You can't possibly.."
"Don't tell me how and what I feel."
"You're just saying that because you don't want me to go. You don't want me around Soap," she looks at him.
"No, I don't want you around him, but that is not why I'm saying it."
"Is it because of last night?"
"No. I'm saying it because I mean it."
"What about your..."
"If you ask about her one more time I will go insane!"
She glares at him. "Why shouldn't I keep asking about her?! After all, she is the one that you avoided me for. How do you think she'd feel about what happened last night, huh?"
"I don't care," he answers.
"Well, maybe I'm leaving at a good time. We could all use some space," she says as she walks to the door. "Mitchell's fine with it, you can be too."
"Mitchell is fine with it because he doesn't feel the way I do about you."
She walks over to him and he wants to reach out and grab her and never let go. She kisses him softly on the lips, "I'll see you later, Gideon. I won't say goodbye because its not. I'll be back."
He tries to speak but no words come out. He closes his eyes and the door closes. "No," he whispers, "This isn't goodbye..."
