Who said three was a crowd?

Sammie watched as Alex left and she leaned her head against Daniel's chest. Biting her lip, she glanced up at him. "What now?" she asked softly as she turned to face him but stayed close to him. She wouldn't admit it but she was scared of losing him.
-----
Blake sat down at the table and following Sky's instructions, he served himself. Watching everyone around the table, he wanted them to leave so he could ask what was bothering Sky so much.
-----
Matt smiled as Sky set up dinner and he came up and kissed her cheek gently. "This looks great," he said before sitting down and smiling. "Well," he said before he started loading his plate. Smiling, he sat back and passed the food down to the rest of the table.

Daniel shrugged "I'll flick Blake a text before I do the walk of shame back to mine, but first I'll help you clean up." He smirked at Sammie and kissed her softly before busying himself with cleaning the kitchen and table from the plates and left over breakfast. He started cleaning the dishes while humming a tune.
--
Alex hopped into his car, already feeling lonely he wanted to rush back and join Sammie and Daniel but Alex had to resist the urge and get back to his life, consisting of going home and getting refreshed before going to an important meeting. He groaned in frustration when he realized that the meeting would be long and boring. "Great." He muttered before starting his car and taking off.
--
Sky grinned, putting her argument and bitter feeling for Lucy behind her momentarily. She continued to eat until she was full, she waited for others to finish before getting up and clearing the table, Lucy got up and helped her clear the table, once they were in the kitchen Lucy was taunting Sky again. "Do you think Matt will ditch you and Blake for me and Greg? I bet he doesn't care about what relationship he's in as long as he gets to be the third wheel in all of them." Sky had placed the dishes down by the time Lucy had finished and Sky curled her hands into fists and before she could control her anger she had lunged at Lucy, tackling her to the ground in a quiet wrestling like manner so the boys didn't hear either of them. "Don't.talk.about.Matt.like.that." Sky hissed into Lucy's ear and Lucy grinned back "I just did." Lucy whispered back hoarsely.

Sam looked at Danny for a moment before nodding. She followed him into the kitchen as she helped him clean up. "You know...I mean...if you wanted to...you could stay here for a little while?" she said before blushing and looking away. Maybe it wasn't right for them to hang out without Alex anymore. She was so confused about everything, she bit her lip and looked down at the floor as her hands played with the hem of Danny's shirt that she was still wearing. "I mean....never mind," she said as she went back to cleaning up. She was so stupid and awkward sometimes, she thought with a frown.
----
Blake heard commotion in the kitchen and jumped p. Seeing the two girls, he ripped Lucy away from Sky before cradling Sky gently in his arms. Glaring at Lucy, he moved to stand in between the two. "Leave now. Get out of my house!" he yelled at her, not caring to hear an explanation. "You are not welcome here. Get out now," he hissed as he moved to physically remove her from their home.
----
Matt jumped in and pushed Blake back toward Sky as he looked at Lucy and Greg. "You should go," he said gently but firmly. "Thank you for coming over. It was nice to see you Greg. Lucy, I wish I could say the same." he walked them out before going back to the kitchen. Looking at them both, he frowned slightly. "What happened?" he asked gently.

Daniel smiled at Sammie "Relax," he chuckled "One step at a time." He pulls his phone and and flicks Blake a text saying 'Hey Blake, Daniel here, I could really use some advice and guidance with a potential relationship with two others, as a throuple but none of us have done this before and are clueless. Please help?' Daniel reread his text before sending it. "Secondly I'd be happy to stay." After cleaning the kitchen he tugs Sammie to the couch and lies down, pulling her with him. "Tell me exactly what's on your mind, so we're on the same page." Daniel states.
--
Alex got home and glanced around his flat, he went and had a nice hot shower before changing into a suit for work. His thoughts drifted back to Sammie and Daniel and last night. He blinked back to reality and went to work on the way he sent Daniel and Sammie each a text thanking them for the night and hoping to catch up soon.
--
Sky wiped some blood from her lip, noting that it was split from the wild punch Lucy had thrown, her breathing was heavy and she was glad that she had managed to get a punch back before being pulled away, her unusually angry side had hoped to continue the fight for a little longer so she could attempt to continue kicking Lucy's ass. Sky's shoulder's sagged in defeat, she didn't want to tell Matt what Lucy had said about him so she opted to keeping her mouth closed and covering her split bleeding lip, she brushed past Blake and Matt and headed upstairs where she went into the master bathroom, shutting the door quietly but not locking it she slide down in the furthest corner and let out a sob she hadn't known she was keeping in.

Sammie looked at Daniel and bit her lip gently as she buried her face against his chest. "I'm nervous," she said softly. "I mean, I want you and Alex to be happy which is weird because I just met Alex and you and I have always just been friends right?" she said. "And now, I don't want anyone to feel left out of upset or something like that," she said softly as she bit her lip harder and leaned her face against his chest, feeling his heartbeat against her cheek. Ot helped her slowly calm down and relax slightly as she sighed. "I want everyone to be happy and I certainly don't want anyone to regret last night," she spoke carefully, hoping her words wouldn't upset him or anything like that.
---
Blake felt his phone vibrate and he sighed softly. He didn't really text anyone so he assumed it was from work. Pulling his phone out of his back pocket, he read the text adn his eyebrows shot up. "Wow," he said softly before quickly texintg back what do you want to know? He wasn't so careful with what he werote before sliding his phone back into this pcoket and heading upstairs.
---
Matt watched as Sky ran away and after a few moments, he followed her. Opening their door, he forwned deeply when he saw her crying in the corner. Walking over, he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her against his chest. "Ssshhh, baby," he whispered soothingly. "You don't have to tell us what happened," he siad gently. "Just please, don't run awaya when you are upset. I've got you now," he whispered as he held her close to him and rubbed her back gently.

Daniel chuckled "I'm sure you're just working yourself up, relax, besides I'm sure you've known how I've felt about you all this time, I haven't exactly been hiding the fact that I've always wanted to be more then friends with you." Daniel gave her a smirk but paused when he felt his phone vibrate and he read the text he got back from Blake. "He asked what we wanted to know, now's your chance to voice your worry's and concerns." Daniel informed Sammie kindly, waiting for her response before sending the text.
--
Alex sat in the business meeting, resisting the urge to chew on the end of his pen in boredom. Every once in a while he would glance up to look at the time, one hour passed, then two, then three. Finally the meeting concluded and Alex shuffled his papers together and got up, without talking to anyone he went back to his office where he put his files away, collected his briefcase and grabbed his jacket. He sent a text to Sammie, telling her he was finished with work and if it was okay to come around again.
--
Sky wrapped her arms around Matt's neck, the guilt ate her away as she nodded her head. "I'm sorry." She whispered coarsely, she gripped the front of Matt's shirt in her small hands. "S-she implied that you didn't care who was in the relationship just as long as you got to be.. the third wheel." Sky's head was bowed and her long hair covered her face, blocking the view of the tears that were falling. "She said I'm heinous." Sky finished.

Sammie bit her lip as she thought of an question. "I...how do we start?" she asked as she blushed lightly. She buried her face against his chest and breathed in his scent. Feeling her hone vibrate, she pulled it out before texting him to come over. Glancing up at the clock, she moved away slightly. "We have been here for almost four hours," she said softly. She smiled at him and leaned down at after a moment of hesitation, she kissed him before pulling away again and smiling.
----
Blake walked up and sat down next to Sky so she was sandwiched in between them. He had to bit back a growl when he heard what Sky said. "She is never coming over her again," he said firmly, leaving no room for argument. He reached out and rubbed her back lightly. He wanted to help make her feel better but he was never one for more comforting.
----
Matt rubbed her back as he held her close. He cupped the back of her neck as he let her cry into his neck. "If you honestly believe you are heinous then Blake and I aren't doing our jobs." he said softly as he kissed her forehead. "I love you and Blake more than anything in this world. I will never leave you for someone else," he promised as he held her close. "I hope you know that," he whispered softly as he kissed her cheek. "I love you," he said.

Daniel smiled into the kiss and lent down to steal another one, when he pulled away from Sammie he looked down at his phone and texted Do you have any advice for people who are just starting out?, he rechecked his message before sending it. "So what's up? What are we going to do now?" He asked casually.
--
Alex let a grin surface his face and he quickly went home to take a shower and get out of his work suit, he placed on some casual clothes, grabbed his wallet and keys before locking his place up. He got in his car and headed to Sammie's, 20 minutes later he pulled up to her place and got out, walking up to her door he knocked on it.
--
"Of course I know that, it just made me so angry." Sky replied, feeling Blake behind her, she felt safe, wedged between them, safe and sound. Sky had never been a fighter so she was surprised at the blow she'd given Lucy and turned around to face Blake, leaning up against Matt. "Blake, did you see the punch I gave Lucy? Do you think her nose is broken?" Sky asked excitedly. Blake had tried for so long to teach Sky some self-defence moves but Sky was never able to get into it enough.

Sammie smiled at Daniel as he leaned down to kiss her again. Hearing the door bell ring, she pushed herself off him and headed to the door. Pulling it open, she smiled happily. "Hey," she said as she stepped aside so he could come in. "Daniel is here," she said as she moved to shut the door behind him. "How was your day at work?" she asked as she moved to step in front of him. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she kissed him gently before pulling away and smiling. "Hi," she whispered softly as she winked at him playfully. She stepped away to let him move into the apartment.
----
Blake chuckled at Sky's question and he ran his fingers through her hair. "I know you were a fighter," he said teasingly. "Yeah, I would say she probably broke her nose. You landed quite the punch love." he said proudly as he leaned down and kissed her gently before pulling away when his phone buzzed. Pulling it out, he glanced at it and frowned slightly. "My friend is thinking about doing a throuple and he wanted some advice," he said as he glanced at his two loves.
----
Matt looked at them and rolled his eyes when he heard them. "You two," he mutteed softly as he chuckled before looking at Blake at his question. "Make sure that whatever thing they have everyone loves each other evenly. It won't work if two people don't love each other as much. "

Daniel smiled at Alex, he was surprised that he didn't feel jealous that Alex and Sammie were kissing. "Hey Alex, ya wanna smooch me too?" Daniel wiggled his eyebrows and puckered his lips at Alex chuckling.
--
Alex savored the kiss he got from Sammie and when he pulled away and heard Daniel he let out a grin surface to his face, he knew Daniel didn't expect him to actually kiss him which was reason enough to do it, I mean, they were technically going to be a throuple so this was just another reason to test out if they could handle each other that way. Without hesitating Alex took Daniel by surprise and dipped down to plant a kiss on his puckered lips before pulling away. "Kinda sloppy there Daniel." Alex smirked.
--
Sky giggled but winced at her split lip. She nodded in agreement with Matt though and then spoke up on her advice. "They also need to be aware that they'll be judged and ridiculed but not to let anyone stop all three of them from being happy."

Sammie looked at them and couldn't help the giggle that escaped her lips. She covered her mouth quickly to stiffle the laughter. They were adorable, she thought as she smiled. Moving around them, she smiled before heading into the kitchen. Let them figure out what just happened by themselves, she thought as she put on some music and began to sing along as she made some dinner.
----
Blake lokoed at them and typed out their responses before chuckling softly. "You guys are depressing," he said somewhat teasingly. He sent the message before looking at the two of them. He leaned back against the wall and sighed softly.
----
Matt looked at Blake and smiled before looking at Sky. He frowned slightly as he reached out and touched her chin lightly. "We should go clean up that cut love," he said as he watched her. "I love you," he said honestly as he smiled at her gently. Pushing himself up, he held his hand out to her. "Come on," he said firmly.

Daniel was taken by complete surprise but managed the tinniest of kisses back. "Jesus, someone's keen for the D." Daniel stated but couldn't help but smirk, he glanced down at his phone when it vibrated to see a response from Blake. "Be perpared to be harshly judged, love both partners equally and don't let anyone else stop us from being happy." He spoke aloud for Alex and Sammie to hear
--
Alex listened to what Daniel was saying and went to take a seat "I expected no less of an answer like that but the advice is sound. Love both partners equally huh? Can you handle loving me as much as Sammie, Daniel?" Alex asked curiously, thinking if he too could love Daniel as much as Sammie, so far his answer was yes, he could.
--
Sky obeyed Matt, following him to let him clean her lip up. "Love you too." She sung, saying it to both Matt and Blake. She couldn't imagine life without either of them and thought back to how their threeway relationship had even started. Matt and Blake had been friends before she came along, she had met them at a party and woke up in bed with them both, something she'd never done prior to that experience.

Sam listened to the two of them and smiled softly. Looking at the two of them, she bit her lip gently. Moving over to them, she kissed Alex's cheek gently before kissing Daniel's lightly. Stepping away, she smiled happily. "So it seems to be that you both are good with me. It seems like you two are the ones who need to work on it," she said cheekily. Winking at the both of them, she leaned against the counter. "So Alex, were are you from?" she asked curiously. "Seems like we should get to know each other...right?" she said softly.
---
Blake leaned against the doorway as he watched them. They were his whole world, he couldn't lose them. Smiling softly, he ran his fingers through his hair as he closed his eyes and exhaled. "This has been an eventful day," he said softly as he opened his eyes and looked at the two of them. "I want another cupcake," he said before grinning.
---
Matt dabbed her lip gently to clean it. Hearing Blake, he rolled his eyes and made a face in Sky's direction as his back was to Blake. "That man..." he said fondly, "is going to be a marshmallow if you keep baking cupcakes," he said as he kissed Sky's cheek gently.

Daniel verbally play fought with Alex until Sammie started asking questions to get to know him better. Daniel was also curious to learn more about Alex, so far the only thing they knew about him was that he seemed to have a hard job and he seemed high class but had a playful, edgy side to him, dark and sexy Daniel guessed he would be defined as.
--
Alex cleared his throat and replied "Yeah, of course well I was born and raised in New York but moved here a few years back for my job, I don't know many people, only the people I work with but I've liked it up until this point." Alex finished. "What about you guys? How'd you meet each other?"
--
"Blake will just have to keep working out all the time," Sky giggled, after all one of the rooms was made into a home-gym because of all the sweets Sky would make. Blake was the only man Sky had ever met that could be defined as a "bad boy" but with a brain that could rival almost anyone he wanted. Personality wise Matt was the opposite of Blake, while Blake had a temper and was ready to protect her and Matt at any cost, Matt was more of the sweet guy, who isn't much into fighting. Either way Sky loved them both to the moon and back, if not further and she wouldn't have them any other way.

Sammie smiled. "A big city man," she said with a grin. Moving around the counter. she leaned against it. "We met in college," she said. "We both went to the University of Chicago although for different majors," she said with a smile. "I'm from Portland. It's a small town in Maine." she spoke as she looked at Alex. Daniel already knew almost everything about her.
---
Blake walked into the kitchen and picked up one of the cupcakes that was sitting there. Although he hated showing emotion, he hated most people and he hated anyone hurting Matt or Sky. He couldn't find it in himself not to act like a little kid when Sky baked something.
---
Matt looked at her and smiled as he leaned down and kissed her cheek again. "What are you thinking about so intensely?" he asked curiously as he smiled at her. He watched her as he reached up and gently cupped her face. "God you are beautiful," he whispered as he leaned his forehead against hers gently.

Daniel listened to her, nodding his head because he already knew were Sammie was from. "I'm from Appleton, Wisconsin." Daniel added after Sammie. "It was my goal to go to the University of Chicago for a diploma in Performance Music." He explained.
--
Alex grinned at them both, "So we all lived in relatively close by states, that's cool!" He exclaimed, liking how he was getting to know Sammie and Daniel first. "What kind of jobs do you both hold?" Alex asked, he couldn't remember if he'd asked or heard them discuss it before so he thought he ought to ask, out of curiosity and wonder.
--
Sky stared into Matt's eyes she whispered her reply "I'm thinking about how much you and Blake mean to me, and how I love you guys so much." She stated honestly. They were happy together so why did anyone have to be so annoying and put in their input in unnecessarily. Sky moved to go lie on their big bed and she was sprawled out in the center, she let out a soft sigh and stretched.

Sammie looked at him before replying. "I teach second grade." she said as she blushed lightly. "I know not that impressive," she bit her lip and walked over to the fridge. Pulling out a bottle of wine, she glanced at the boys. "Do you guys want some wine or I have beer or water or soda?" she offered as she got out a glass before proceeding to try and wrestle the bottle open.
----
Blake ate the cupcake before heading back upstairs. Listening to their conversation, he knew he probably shouldn't be. That is what was nice about their relationship. They were all confident enough that they didn't have to be included in every single thing the other two did. It was nice.
----
Matt looked down at her and chuckled softly before moving over laying down next to her. "I love you too," he said honestly. "I hope you know that Blake and I are nothing without you." he said as he smiled at her.

Daniel rolled his eyes "Here I am doing nothing great with my life and Sammie says being a second grade teacher isn't very impressive, yet she gets to shape and mold the future generations into being something great." Daniel smiled proudly at Sammie, he always was proud at her and her job, even when she couldn't see it.
--
Alex agreed with Daniel "As a social worker, I'm telling you now, being a teacher has a strong impact on kids and their futures, I have no doubts that you're a good teacher and because of that the kids you teach have a better chance than others." Alex stated, his passion was social welfare specializing in children and young teens. He gave Sammie an appreciative look. "And I'd like a beer if you wouldn't mind." He grinned, hearing Daniel voice his want for a beer as well.
--
Sky yawned, glad that she had taken a shower just before Greg and Lucy had come over. She saw Blake at the door and motioned him over before moving so they all could fit on their bed. "Will you tell me a bed time story?" She asked either or of the boys. "A bed time story starring us three." She giggled childishly, hoping off the bed quickly to get rid of her pants and stripping down to her underwear and then putting one of Matt's shirts and a pair of Blake's boxers on. She went back to lying on the bed under her covers.

Sammie blushed at their praise and looked down. She held out the wine bottle to the boys and frowned. "Help please?" she asked as she went back to get two beers. Opening them, she poured them into beer glasses and handed them out. "So you are a social worker?" she asked curiously as she looked at Alex. She walked over to Daniel for a moment and wrapped her arms around him and leaned her head against his chest before saying in a sickly sweet voice. "If one of you guys don't open the wine bottle, you will never see e naked again."
----
Blake looked at her and chuckled before walking over. He waited until she was in bed before climbing in on her otherside. Wrapping an arm around her waist, he brushed her shirt up just enough that he could press his hand against the silky smooth skin of her waist.
----
Matt thought for a moment before opening his mouth to begin talking. "Once, there were two best friends who were very atrracted to each other. They were jealous whenever the other did something and got into a lot of fights because of it. Then one day, a girl barged into their twosome and they became a threesome and suddenly all the jealousy and all the fights went away."

Daniel was about to help Sammie but Alex got to it first so Daniel kept his hands around Sammie's waist and watched him pour Sammie a glass of wine.
--
Alex chuckled at the fact that him and Daniel pretty much fought to open the bottle of wine, for the sake of seeing Sammie naked again. When he poured her a glass of wine he handed it to her and then took a swig of beer, feeling the burning sensation go down his throat, making him feel a little relieved. "So how do we make this work?" He asked, more out of curiosity than anything.
--
Sky grinned snuggling into both Blake and Matt she asked. "What kind of fighting did they get into? And why did it all stop when the girl barged in?" She asked giggling. She loved to hear about how Matt and Blake would fight and sabotage each others relationships to get back at each other.
