#and like yea Jom would tease and Yok would coo over how cute they all are but the second Tem is sad they’d both be like

[pussywiki]

omg omg omg no bc wait!!!! timetae both realising that's THEIR man and deciding to pursue tem together while tem just. quietly Freaks the Fuck Out. maybe he's insecure maybe he just doesn't Get polyamory maybe it's both and lowkey he's like!!!! you're boyfriends!!!! what are you playing at!!!! all the while jom's making innocent jokes and timetae themselves are being kinda light abt things and nobody realises it's genuinely Getting to tem bc he doesn't wanna bring it up and possibly be the one to actually ruin this Something. like here he is falling in love with TWO men which is simultaneously the best and the worst thing to ever happen to him bc it feels so good but what if. what if they're just using him to spice up their relationship??? they appear so unconcerned so maybe it's not as serious to them as it's beinning to be for him??? this whole pot then boils tf over when tem (who perhaps finally worked up the nerve to Talk Shit Through) overhears an argument that's really abt like. kinn being weird or something but sounds vague enough for tem's traitorous mind to fill in the blanks and BOOM. suddenly he's in yok's bar crying and slurring heartbroken nonsense lol

i'm so sorry idk what tf this even is but your tags got my mind WHIRRING. also i promise i'm v much interested in your fic no matter what you do with it and how long it takes!!!! i know that doesn't magically fix your overthinking or anything but i just want you to know!!!!

ANON YOU GET ME

Like timetae not fully answering the “what do you want out of this” question and just giving a sort of nonchalant “sex and getting to know you better” which to them says everything but to Tem could mean they just want a sort of fwb situation. And like obviously Tem’s biggest fear in all of this is doing something that ends in Time and Tae breaking up because they’re such an established couple, they’ve been together since like high school, the last thing he wants to do is ruin that. But he’s falling in love because how could he not? And he still doesn’t really know where they stand, like yea they let him spend the night and cuddle and they go out for dinner sometimes which doesn’t exactly feel casual, but they make it seem so small in the grand scheme it makes him question it all. And then he overhears maybe the tail end of an argument right before Time leaves for work, gets woken up by the whisper shouting, and it sounded serious even if he didn’t really know what it was about and Tae is quick to reassure that everything is fine, of course it’s not about him, they’re just butting heads right now it’s okay but Tem just can’t make himself believe that because what if he’s just saying that to soften the blow that’s inevitably going to come? So he distances and gets drunk and tells Jom that he’s ruining everything and Tae gets a call far too late at night from Tem’s phone telling them to come pick Tem up and make this right and only then do timetae realize that they never really told Tem they want him to be their boyfriend and oh we’re really not the best at communication huh?

And thank you, I really appreciate the words of encouragement, they mean more than you know. I have a few other WIPs I want to finish first, but I will write this fic I swear
