_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

(Mario's POV)

My head hurts and I can barely remember much. The only thing I remember is Dean showing up again and waking up in the infirmary. Speaking of waking up, my eyes started to flutter open as I tried to sit up. I wasn't able to sit up, confusing me a bit before I realised that there was an arm around my waist. Looking over to who was in bed with me, I blushed slightly to notice that my face was in David's bare chest while he was sleeping peacefully. I internally squealed at the peaceful and humble look on his face while he slept but then stopped myself when I realised that I was staring.

Shaking the blush from my face, I tried to 'gently' shake him awake so that I could get up and get ready as we had a guild meeting in a few minutes. His response; pushing me off the bed, making me fall off the bed. "Ow..." I groaned and winced as I still had sore ribs and was now on the floor because of the stripping idiot on the bed.

"Mario? You alright?" I looked up to see him looking down at me from the bed as I sat on the floor holding my side and head.

"Do you think I'm alright? You pushed me to the floor when I still have broken ribs!" I gave him a slight glare as a response and he put his arms up in defence. "That's why people don't shake me!" I huffed and looked away from but winced as well realising I twisted my body while pouting. I felt a thump fall on the other side of the bed and footsteps started heading towards me. I attempted to get up from my place on the floor but winced instead, when I let out a sudden 'meep' as I felt two arms pick me up off of the wooden floor. "I think we should get ready for the meeting in a few minutes."

I gave him a look saying 'NOW you remember that?!' and he just looked at me sheepishly. "Well, I kinda slept in these clothes and want to get changed but I can't go to my 'house' in time," I pouted again. David, seeing my pout, placed me on the bed gently before walking over to his wardrobe to probably get changed so I looked away. Soon enough, I was confused to see clothes in front of my face so I looked at David confused. "You said you couldn't get your clothes so... you can borrow mine." He looked at me with the kind of smile that you couldn't really refuse.

Hesitantly, I took the clothes from him and gestured for him to leave the room so I could change. David obliged with the silent request, walking out of the room and closing the door once he was outside. While getting changed, I realised that David's clothes were a bit bigger than my own, meaning I was wearing an oversized shirt which reached just above my knee-caps. After I was dressed, I walked out the room and blushed slightly when David saw me. "David, why in the name of Atlantide are your shirts so big?!" I yelled to him once the door was fully opened and I gestured to the shirt. "Well, it's not my fault you're a small size!" He countered, making me blush a little. So, to stop him from seeing my blush, I quickly head down the stairs and make my way towards the guild hall, with footsteps hurrying behind me.

-----Time Skip!-----

(Ritchie's POV)

During the guild meeting, after the important/boring stuff has been said, the guild was now just chilling in the midst of the guildhall and everyone was just having their own little chats. My brother was talking to me while I was kinda in my own mind set, occasionally glancing at David who was talking with Mario. A little growl emitted from my throat at the fact that it was David talking with him, not me.

OK, so I may have grown a small crush on the dragon slayer, but hey! I can't let David take him away from me! I didn't realise I was glaring until Brandon snapped his fingers in my face, making me jump in surprise. "Brother~ What's up?"

I looked at him for a little moment, letting another growl emit from my throat as I heard Mario laugh at something David said. Brandon just looked at me confused, then looked at where I was growling before he put two and two together, finally figuring out why I was growling. He then turned back to face me with the biggest smirk on his face as he said something that made my face turn pink. "Someone jealous~"

"I- Wha- Me? Jealous?! Never!" I blurted out, turning my face away but I ended up letting another low growl leave my throat again, hearing David's cheesy jokes and Mario laughing at them. Even though my heart did flutter hearing Mario's laughs, it angered a demon inside of me because he was laughing... because of David. Suddenly, I was pulled out of the guildhall by my brother grabbing my ear. Once we were outside, Brandon turned around and gave me a sly grin. "Somebody's got a crush on Mario~" 

I nearly choked on my own spit while trying give an answer. Ultimately, I couldn't deny the fact that I had a crush on our resident cavern dragon slayer. "Considering the fact that you didn't accept nor deny the fact that you have a crush on him, I would say it's true."

"I should have known you would've seen it. You spend way too much time with Inmo to know about ships and crushes." I sighed, even as I gave a little chuckle when my brother's face turned a little pink too at the mention of his mate. "S-Shut up!" We laughed for a little bit before he went serious, which kinda scared me. "Seriously though, if you aren't careful enough, David might get him before you do. You see the way David hangs around Mario, he clearly has a crush on him too."

"I know, I just don't think I have a chance..." I looked at the ground, sadly.

"You won't know that until you ask him. You said it yourself when I asked my crush on a date, 'you won't knock it till you try it'." My twin put his hand on my shoulder, looking down at me with a smile as I return with my own. "Thanks Brother."

-----Time Skipadoodle-----

(Mario's POV)

"Wonder what David wanted to talk about..." I whispered to myself as I was walking towards an opening in the garden. Honestly, it was a surprise that he had asked to talk so suddenly. Except, the thing that made this a more sudden coincidence... was that Ritchie had asked to talk straight after David left the guildhall. I just said I was talking to David as well so they could just meet me at the same spot and they can tell me at the same time. It kinda flustered me up a little at the thought of hanging out with them at the same time, as I kinda have a crush on both of them. I'm just afraid that Terrai might come out to 'play' with them.

"I DOUBT YOU ACTUALLY LIKE HIM!"

I suddenly heard yelling in the background so I sped up my walking by a little, just to see who was yelling because it sounded a lot like David yelling. I just hoped that he wasn't yelling at Ritchie because I have a crush on him too but I also don't want David to play Dodge the lightning bolt. But, my hopes were crushed when I saw David and Ritchie locked in a shouting match, fighting about something.

"HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?!"

"CAUSE I LIKE HIM TOO! HE WOULDN'T LIKE BOTH OF US!"

"I KNOW THAT! THAT'S WHY I'M GONNA CLAIM HIM FIRST!"

"NUH UH! NOT IF I CLAIM HIM BEFORE YOU!" 

My eyes started to tear up for multiple reasons. One, I found out they're arguing over someone, not something. Two, this means I might not have a chance with them, seeing as both of them like the same person. Three, the general fact that my crushes were arguing in the first place! I've never been one for yelling since my old dark guild master, Dean, yelled and hit me after every time I returned from a failed mission. My tears fell down my face quicker at the memory, so I turned around and decided to walk back to my place. For a faint second, before I turned around, I saw David and Ritchie stop their fight and looked at me as I walked away from them.

Once I was around the corner, something hard hit me in the back of my head and I blacked out, not before screaming to alert someone.

(David's POV)

I was waiting in the place that I told Mario to meet me in the garden. I had a small green and brown flower in my hand as I was gonna admit my crush on Mario to him once he got here. That was until I heard footsteps and another person's voice. "David?" I turned around and was met with Ritchie, holding a daisy in one hand.

"Oh hi Ritchie! So~ Who's the flower for~" I smirked, realising that my guild leader had a crush on someone as his face glowed in a pink colour. "U-Uh... It's Mario actually! So, who's yours~" He asked smiling happily while curious. My eyes widened at the fact that we both shared the same crush. "Umm... I also have a crush on Mario..."

We stared at each other for a moment before suddenly, the chat turned into a shouting match.

"HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?!"

"CAUSE I LIKE HIM TOO! HE WOULDN'T LIKE BOTH OF US!"

"I KNOW THAT! THAT'S WHY I'M GONNA CLAIM HIM FIRST!"

"NUH UH! NOT IF I CLAIM HIM BEFORE YOU!" 

We glared at each other, neither of us moving a muscle, but in the corner of my eye, I saw Mario looking at us and I swear I saw tears in his eyes. 'Is he crying because of us fighting?'

Ritchie saw this as well and we both shut up when Mario turned around and walked away from us. The lightning devil slayer then turned to me with a concerned face. "Ok, I know we both like him, but can you agree with me that we don't like seeing him sad?"

"Yep, I guess we can agree with something. Instead of arguing, I say we let him choose." We nodded our heads at the same time as we ran slightly towards the direction that Mario left in. Suddenly, an ear piercing scream could be heard by probably everyone on the island, and it came from the one way we were running.

Both me and Ritchie knew it was Mario who screamed so I booked it faster towards the scream. I say I cause Ritchie storm-blinked over. Once I arrived, I noticed that one, Mario wasn't here, two, there was blood on the ground presumably Mario's, and three, Ritchie was holding a note in his hands. An angry and concerned aura surrounded the guild leader, even as I pried the paper from his hands and read it myself.

'Dear Icey Ice and Zappy Zap,

I know that you two are... Close, to this useless dragon slayer. Jeez, I still don't understand why you allowed this weakling into the guild, let alone have a crush. Anyways, I have come to alert you that I have the weakling with me :). If you would like to see him again, find him. If you don't find him in 2 hours, well... You boys won't get to confess your crush to him nor will you ever see him! Well, breathing for that fact.

Tada, have fun searching~

-D'

I was seething with so much rage that I had barely noticed that I was now in my demon slayer form, as well as Ritchie. We locked eye contact before we said something at the same time then left off, following the obvious trail of blood that led towards a cave.

Let's get our dragon back...

(No one's POV)

What these two aggravated devils didn't know, was that the entire guild was watching Ritchie and David, curious on why they were standing in the middle of the garden. As Brandon was about to stand up to question his brother, both of the angry devil slayers turned into their demon slayer forms and stormed off.

This left the rest of the guild confused at why the two were angry all of a sudden. So, they followed the two who stormed through all of Atlantide.

------Tiem Skip!------

(Mario's POV)

'Feck, my head hurts!'

I forced my eyes open to see where I was, only to be met with a very close up face of a man I never wanted to see again. "Meep!" I yelped, backing away as far as I can, away from... Dean.

"Oh well won't you look at that! You're scared of me~ How cute~" Dean smirked as he pulled on a leash that was attached to a collar that I had only just realised was on my neck. I whimpered as he pulled it roughly, even as the collar was chained to the wall. I had only just realised that I was in some sort of cave? I don't really know.

"Awww, your whimpers are adorable~ Too bad they won't last long if your 'friends' can't find you in time!" He giggled like a maniac while releasing the leash, allowing me breathing room and a chance to take in what he just said. Tears gathered in my eyes at the thought of leaving everyone. I wouldn't be able to tell Ritchie and David I like them!

'Alright, I'm taking over, I knew you were too weak!' My eyes widened as I feel Terrai start to take over but I didn't want him to. I thrashed and struggled to keep control but ultimately, he gained control and my vision went black.

------After the murder of Dean and his goons------

It had been a few moments that had passed by since Terrai took control. I was concerned and scared at what he was doing while I wasn't in control. Suddenly, I felt myself gain control with the message 'be lucky I took control. Otherwise, your sorry excuse for a slayer would've been dead' from Terrai.

But the first thing I saw was dead bodies, blood and my old guild master, laying in a pull of his own blood and finally... Dead. I started to panick at the amount of blood and the dead bodies.

"Mario...?" I heard my name being called out from the entrance of the cave and I quickly spun around to be met with everyone from my guild... Ritchie and David were just turning back from their demon slayer forms. All of them were staring at me in shock and concern while I shrink back.

"S-S-Stay back..." I stuttered out panicked, slowly backing away from the group. 'They probably think I'm a freak! David and Ritchie probably don't even like me anymore! If they did in the first place...'

"Mario, calm down. It's fine, we're safe. You're safe." David slowly started to walk towards me, even as I fell to the ground, tears gathering in my eyes again. Once I felt someone sit next to me and wrap their arms around me, I immediately hugged back in attempt to calm myself.

"Shhhh~ You're okay. Dean's gone... You're safe now~" He whispered, stroking my hair. My crying slowly stopped and I was now purring at the petting I was getting. I looked up at the guild, only to notice Ritchie and saw him with a sad smile on his face as well as a bit of jealously. David saw this too and gestured him to come over to us, to which he obliged at sat down next to me. Once he was next to me, I unwrapped my arms from David and wrapped them around Ritchie instead, nuzzling his shoulder.

"Hey... Mario?" I heard David ask nervously. I got curious on why he was nervous so I turned to face him, still hugging Ritchie with a slight death grip. "Y-Yes?"

"This may be a bad place to say it..." He mumbled, looking over to Ritchie who just nodded, smiling. I was very confused at what these two were doing but David shuffled a little closer to me, basically squishing me between the two devil slayers. David suddenly held up 3 fingers, and started counting down.

'3'
'2'
'1'

Then I froze in my place, my eyes wide as I let go of Ritchie and stare at the two. Both of them... Just kissed my cheeks... All three of us were bright red in the face, i'm a little more red than them but who wouldn't be! I'm flustered and happy that my two crushes like me back!

"You... L-Like me?!" I managed to sputter out, still in my flustered state.

"Yeah... I was gonna tell you in the gardens because that's why I asked you to meet me there after today's meeting. But, I didn't know Ritchie also liked you..." David said sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck while turning towards Ritchie.

"That's also the reason I wanted to talk... But, we decided that you can choose who you want to be with and that we shouldn't have fought over you. So, you decide." Ritchie replied sadly, both of them moving a little backwards to allow me to decide.

But I already made my decision...

I stood up and walked towards David, giving him a kiss on his cheek. He cheered happily but looked apologetically towards Ritchie, who had another sad smile on his face. But I shocked both of them when I walked over to Ritchie and gave him a kiss on the cheek as well. "I like you both!"

They both froze, before I let out a little yelp, being picked up suddenly from Ritchie, who storm blinked over to me. David walked over and kissed my cheek again while Ritchie held me in his arms. "W-Would you guys like to be my boyfriends?" I asked, a little nervous of their answer.

"Definetly!"
"Honestly, I've always wanted to try a poly relationship. Absolutely yes!" Ritchie put me down on the ground before giving me a small peck on the lips before David also did the same thing.

We walked out of that cave, me in the middle, holding my newly found boyfriends' hands next to me ^w^.
