Who said three was a crowd?

@ Olaf
Daniel nodded his head and licked his lips wondering what was going to happen next for them, he was kinda at a loss of words, they'd gained a lot of helpful insight, now he just had to fully digest the information and figure it all out together.

---

Alex grinned at Daniel's sudden nervousness "We can take it slowly, maybe build up a friendship first?" He suggested in thought, it'd make sense to be more familiar and comfortable with each other first, plus Alex and Daniel were getting along pretty good at the moment.

---

She grinned up at Blake then giggled at what Matt says "Ditto." She said softly, stretching out, she was more comfortable now.

Blake looked at the three people in front if him and he chuckled softly. "Maybe we could meet another time for lunch but you all seem like you need time to talk over and process everything that we have just talked about," he said as he watched them before glancing over at Sammie and Matt.

---

Sammie smiled before nodding. "Yeah," she said softly. "I think that would be good," she said as she stood up and looked over at Danny and Alex. She but her lip as she moved around. "What do you guys think?" She asked although she had to admit that she was ready to go.

---

Matt watched them before he nodded and pushed himself up when Sammie came out. He wanted to see them out and definitely invite them all over again. He had enjoyed their company.

Daniel nodded his head "Thank you for all the advice and for the great hospitality." He said, getting up and stretching before saying his goodbyes to his friend and his partners before waiting for Sammie and Alex.

---

Alex rose from his head and shook hands with Matt and Blake before giving Sky a short hug "It was nice meeting you all, thank you for everything!" He said again before following Sammie and Daniel out the door, they had a lot to talk about he thought, hoping into the car as Daniel drove them back to Sammie's.

---

Sky watched them go, waving as they left the driveway before turning around to grin at Blake and Matt "That was interesting!" She exclaimed as she begun to tidy up the area. When she was done she sat down on the couch and stretched her feet out, sighing in bliss.

Sammie walked out and looked up at her boys. "What did you think?" she asked curiously as she walked to Daniel's car. She smiled at them both before climbing into the backseat and stretching out across it. She sighed softly as she relaxed.

---

Blake waved as they left and he shut the door behind him. He helped Sky clean up some before he flopped on the couch and put his head in her lap. "That definitely was," he said softly.

---

Matt watched them and nodded slightly. "I wonder if they will make it," he said honestly as he glanced over at the two of them. "They are interesting people and then put them together and it's...." he finished with a shrug as he looked thoughtfully toward the door.

Daniel thought for a moment as he drove, he tapped his fingers against the stirring wheel subconsciously in a beat before finally answering "I'm willing to work hard for this, I dunno if you heard but Blake wasn't kidding when he said I've been trying to get with you since college." Then he looked into the rear view mirror to make eye contact with Alex. "it's funny," Daniel said. "Mum always told me I was a bit gay." Then he lets a teasing smile appear on his face as he chuckled.

---

Alex rolled his eyes at Daniel but couldn't help a small smile cross his lips. "I'm willing to try this as well, I don't have much of a family so my family won't be much of a problem." It was true, Alex's dad had passed away when Alex was small and his mother had vanished soon after, that was why Alex choose to be a social worker, to help children that had been like him. "There's only my younger sister Roxanne, she's pretty open minded as well, oh and she's a lesbian." Alex grinned, rubbing the back of his head.

---

Sky playing with Blake's partially dyed red hair before running her fingers across his face before looking up at Matt and thinking about it "I think they will, Daniel is a bit like a wildfire, Alex is the calm one, once they establish a stronger bond Alex will be able to reign Daniel in.." Sky blinked before laughing "They're a lot like us, I think." She said, thinking about how Sammie was shy and nervous.

Blake looked at them and smiled gently. "I hope they make it," he said honestly. "Daniel has been chasing after Sammie for as long as I have known him," he said honestly. He ran his fingers through his hair and chuckled softly at some of the memories before he looked up at Sky and leaned up and kissed her gently before falling back against her. He loved it when she played with his hair.

---

Matt watched the two of them and thought for a moment about the three people who had visited them. "They are going to have a rough time is Sammie is going to keep freaking out at every little thing but I think they could have a chance," he said, trying to be realistic about everything that was going to happen to them. "Hey, Sky, your dad called. Did you ever call him back?" he asked curiously.

---

Sammie listened and nodded as they spoke before she bit her lip gently. "Really?" she asked curiously before she looked down at her hands. "I didn't know," she said as she blushed deeply before looking up at Alex and nodded. "Let's try," she said honestly before she grinned. "Can we meet her sometime?" she asked curiously as she scooted up and reached around to rest her hands against his chest gently.

@ Olaf
Daniel grinned at Sammie's response but shrugged, "You've always been a bit oblivious when it comes to guys confessing to you." He chuckled in amusement but was glad that he had finally found out that Sammie returned his feelings after waiting for so long. "Your sister sounds cool." Daniel said to Alex.

---

Alex smiled and nodded his head "I'll invite her over once we're more settled done, hows that sound?" He asked them both, not wanting to introduce anyone new until they were all comfortable and use to each others presence first. He was glad Sammie was willing to give this a try and he couldn't believe that he had finally found two people that he was able to relax around.

---

Sky tensed up when she heard Matt mention her father, she shook her head "I don't plan on ringing him back either." She said stubbornly before shifting Blake and getting up. she crossed her arms over her chest and walked up to their room.

Blake sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. "Is this you or me?" He asked before pushing himself up. "I got it," he walked upstairs and found Sky in their bedroom. "Baby, you have for to stop walking away from is like that. We are in this together and you should be able to talk to is about this stuff," he said.

---

Matt followed and listened to what Blake said and nodded in agreement. "We can't help you or understand if you walk away from us without ever talking to us," he said gently. "We aren't going to make you see your dad if you don't want to,"

---

Sammie smiled softly and nodded. She leaned her head against the window of the car and couldn't help it as her eyes flickered shut. It had been a tiring day.

Daniel parked the car once they were back at Sammie's and hopped out, he waited for Alex and Sammie to get out as well. Once they were inside he settled down to think some more. Where did they start? He cleared his throat and got up to get a glass of water "Does anyone want a drink?" He asked

---

Alex shook his head and sat down on Sammie's couch. "We shouldn't rush into things." Alex said aloud looking at Sammie in wonder.

---

Sky sighed and nodded her head, Sky knew she had a bad habit of running away from her issues "Sorry." She muttered "He got worse after mum died, he didn't accept my relationship with you guys. He's probably just trying to get me to go to church with him so I can 'repent'." She huffed.

Blake looked at her and nodded slightly. "Fine," he said. "You don't have to see him," he said simply.

---

Matt looked at the two of them and bit her lip gently. "If that is what you want to do Sky," he said softly as he walked over and kissed her cheek gently. "We aren't go I to make you do anything," he said as he kissed her lightly and hugged her lightly. "I love you," he whispered with her with a smile on his face.

---

Sammie walked up to her apartment groggily and she sat down on the couch and laid her head in Alex's lap as she let out a cute little yawn. "Take it slow and I think we should learn to have fun together," she said sleepily as she rubbed her eyes slightly. "And you and Daniel should learn to love each other as well."

Daniel nodded his head at Sammie "Sounds like a great idea." He watched her yawn and smiled softly "Learn to love each other?" He whispered turning to Alex and pondering how he could do that. He guessed that finding a common interest should be on the to-do-list.

---

Alex chuckled and nodded his head but wasn't sure what to say "I actually love doing D.I.Y, my uncle was a builder and liked to teach me everything he knew." He smiled fondly as he subconsciously played with Sammie's soft hair. "What about you Sammie? Family wise and hobby wise, that is."

---

Sky felt bad for the way she acted and she glanced down at her lap as she sat on their bed "I'm sorry," She muttered quietly again, she wasn't as strong as Blake or Matt but she tried her best for them so they didn't worry as much over her.

Blake liked down at her as he sighed softly. He slipped into the bed behind her so she was sitting in between his legs. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her back against against him. "It's okay," he whispered to her as he kissed her cheek gently.

---

Matt came to them and sat on the ground and leaned his head against her knee. "We love you anyway," he said with a smile on his face as he took her hand and gave it a squeeze. "It's okay love," he promised her as he looked up at her with a smile.

---

Sammie smiled as he played with her hair. "My parents passed say when I was 8 and my brother was 12. When he became 18 he adopted me and raised me mostly," she said. "I love the outdoors and running around. Music is good too," she said before she yawned again and began drifting off.

Daniel listened to Sammie and pondered his own life, "My mum and dad live an hour away, I have a younger brother." He muttered in thought. "Music is a massive part of my life." He sat up and nodded his head but felt embarrassed "Compared to you guys I have a pretty crappy job," He chuckled shyly.

---

Alex shook his head at Daniel "Any job can be great as long as it's your passion." He said smiling at the other man. He watched Daniel's eyes widen before smirking. He mirrored Daniels face before turning to Sammie as he watched her drift off, he played with her hair, running his fingers gently through her silky locks, content.

---

Sky felt a lump grow in her throat before she let a relieved grin surface to her face, she was about to answer when her cellphone goes off, she leans over and picks it up "Hello?" She recognized her friends voice and listened closely at the girl on the other end pleading "Huh?!" Sky listened for a few more seconds before detaching herself from Blake and Matt and running downstairs to the front door. She threw the door open and stepped outside, seeing her friend pull away from the driveway and leave. Sky stepped out only to trip over a box. "Ow ow ow," she muttered, getting up and turning to the box. Opening the box, her face flushed before she picked whatever was in the box up and took them inside. Closing the door she made her way back to Blake and Matt. "I dunno what just happened," Sky whined, holding up to german shepard puppies as they wagged their tails with joy.

Blake followed her down and sighed when she tripped. He was about to go help her when she picked up the box and came in. Looking down into the box, his eyes widened slightly. "You have got to be kidding me," he said as he ran his fingers over his face and sighed again.

---

Matt heard Blake's reaction to whatever was in the box and he chuckled before moving around to glance inside. He smiled when he saw the puppies. Reaching out, he took the box, knowing it would be heavy for Sky to carry. He moved into the living room and set the box down, looking down at the puppies. "Well then, what now?" he asked curiously.

---

Sammie slept for about half an hour before her eyes flickered open and she looked around. Pushing herself up, she rubbed her eyes and looked at them. "What have you guys been talking about?" she asked curiously as she smiled at both of them. She pushed herself up and stretched as a yawn left her lips. "Do you guys want something to eat or anything?" she asked curiously as she walked to the kitchen and got herself a glass of water.

Daniel grinned but shook his head "Just talking about work and Alex was giving me a motivational speech on why my job isn't crappy if I enjoy it, it was very touching honestly, I feel much better now." Daniel stated being sincere. He did feel much better after what Alex had said and hadn't thought about it his job like that.

---

Alex smiled before stretching his arms "I meant it as well." He yawned "Crap I'll have to head home soon," Alex stated checking the time but staying seated.

---

Sky wondered what they should do, Blake didn't sound to pleased about the puppies and Matt probably didn't care either way. Sky stared into the box before picking them up and sitting on the floor with them, she let them go and the happily explore the area before coming back and jumping into her lap, she let out a laugh as one of them jumped onto her chest and tried to lick her face.

Blake watched the two of them for a moment before he sighed softly and walked over. Joining the two of them on the floor, he watched as a puppy came over and crawled onto his lap. Smiling, he ran his fingers through the dog's hair gently and glanced over at his partners with a soft look in his eyes. "They are cute," he admitted sheepishly.

---

Matt smiled and scooped a puppy into his arms as he ran his fingers through the puppy's fur and chuckled as he felt the puppy's tongue licking his face. He looked at Blake and chuckled again.

---

Sammie looked at both of them and nodded before frowning slightly when Alex said he had to go. She leaned over and kissed his cheek gently and bit her lip. "I wish you didn't have to," she said honestly as she leaned her head against his shoulder before glancing at Daniel and motioning for him to come join them on the couch.

Daniel smiled and moved to sit on Sammie's other side, he realized that he'd have to get moving sooner or later because he had work tomorrow "Maybe we should plan something, what's everyone's work schedule like this week?" He asked thinking about his own schedule, he had a few late nights because he was performing at some gigs but wondered if Sammie and Alex would be interested.

---

Alex pondered what Daniel had said and voiced his agreements "I'm only working three days this week and I finish early on Wednesday." He said, "I'm working tomorrow (Monday), Wednesday and Friday so it's not a full week this week." He pondered.

---

Sky peered into the box to find a note she pulled it up and read it aloud "Sky, I remember you saying how much you wanted a pet and my friend needed to give these guys to a good home so I thought of you, don't worry, they've been looked at and deflead! They're as healthy as can be , you'll also find food to last them for a week, good luck! Ps: They're both males." Sky blushed and covered her eyes, so this was why she had been given them.

Blake looked at them both before glancing at the puppies that were currently nestled in each of their laps. "Well, you guys know I can't say no to you," he said with a sigh although he hadn't put up much of a fight against the puppies staying. He reached out and petted the head of the one that was in Matt's arms before looking at Sky with a soft look on his face. "What shall we call them?" He asked curiously.

---

Matt smiled as he continued to pet the puppy in his lap and shrugged. "I have no idea what to call them," he said with a chuckle as he continued to look at the puppy. "What do you think Sky?" He asked curiously as he smiled at her and waited patiently.

---

Sammie looked at them and nodded. "I work from 6 to around 5 from Monday to Friday," she said softly. "The pains of being a teacher," she said with a teasing smile in her voice. Despite the huge time commitment, she really did love her job and wouldn't change it for the world. "Daniel? Do you have any shows this week? Maybe we could all go to one or something?" She asked curiously as she glanced up at Alex to see what he thought about the idea.

Daniel grinned "You must have read my mind, I was just about to ask you guys, I have a gig on Wednesday night and again on Friday night, which would you prefer going too?" He asked them both, while playing with Sammie's hand.

---

"I'm not fused, either or is fine." Alex stated, curious to go and see Daniel perform, he'd never been to a gig before so He hoped Sammie could show him the ropes. It seemed fun though, he was finally getting out, Roxy would be so proud of him, he thought smirking.

---

"Really? We can keep them?" Sky said in disbelief, catching herself close to squealing with excitement. She looked at the pups in deep thought, trying to figure out what type of personalities. One puppy was protective over it's brother and as Sky watched him carefully the name hit her "He's so feirce, Leo!" She exclaimed and the puppy barked. Leo came over and jumped into Sky's lap while the other puppy stayed with the boys. "How about you both name that one? It's only fair." Sky said, grinning with joy.

Blake looked at the puppy in Matt's lap and thought for a moment. "What about Draco?" He asked, sticking with the theme of constellations as he ran his hand over the puppy's head. He glanced at Matt and smiled as he leaned over and kissed his cheek gently.

---

Matt looked up at Blake and smiled as he kissed him. He looked down at the puppy and nodded. "I like that," he said as he touched the puppy who tipped happily. Glancing up, he smiled at Sky. "What do you think?" He asked as he smiled at them both.

---

Sammie looked at them and smiled. "Alright," she said. "How about the one of Friday?" She asked as she looked at them with a happy smile. She have Daniel's hand a squeeze before looking over at Alex for a moment. She bit her lip before looking down at her lap. "Maybe you guys could hang out or something while I have work? I mean, Alex you are only working three days which leave two open and Daniel, I know that your shifts would be fairly light since you have two gigs, I'm sure there is a time you two could meet up and do something," she said.
