Third Mate's the Charm! ((Cory/Rory/Silas))

[ode]

The boys looked at one another and then back at Silas, "Very special." Pausing to wait for the man to order and the waiter to walk away, they said. "Tell us about you."

[praiseofblood]

Silas blinked, blushing slightly. "What do you want to know? I'm 24, and pretty much alone."

[ode]

"Not anymore. You have us now," they said, smiling. Realizing they were being up front, they wondered if it was the best way to go about it. But knowing no other way, they trudged on.

[praiseofblood]

Silas blushed. "What do you mean?" he asked, looking at the men. He was beginning to get a bit creeped out.

[ode]

Catching on to this feeling, they looked at one another and frowned. How to relay what they felt to the man? Most men would not be down with having both men at once. On top of that, they weren't exactly social to know how to communicate in an enticing manner. "Um... We think you're our mate?"

[praiseofblood]

Silas turned bright red at that. But before he could begin to stutter, he blinked. "Our...as in both of you?" he asked, swallowing.

[ode]

The boys nodded solemnly.

[praiseofblood]

Silas blinked, running a hand through his hair. Wow...so it turns out that thing he'd always had for brothers was...wow...

[ode]

"We understand if you need time. You must be quite shocked," they said understandingly.

[praiseofblood]

"Yes...it's a bit much...but...is it possible for someone to have two mates?" he blinked, looking at Cory and Rory.

[ode]

They shrugged. "There is a Zercan who has two sensaforian mates and children by both. We've looked into these things."

[praiseofblood]

Silas blinked. But...they were brothers. Wouldn't that make sex like...odd for them? And how...

[ode]

Cory and Rory stared at the man for a long moment before clasping each others hands together, showing Silas without words how bonded they were.

[praiseofblood]

"Oh..." Silas blinked, looking at the men in surprise. Well, then, that just shoked the hell out of him. "Okay then." he said.

[ode]

The men perked up. "What does that mean?"
