“Aye, you doing alright?” 

“Yeah, of course I am. Why do you-” Your response to the Irish woman was cut off by another set of coughs.

Each cough barked out harshly, wracking your frame and causing the hairs on your body to rise. You’d been coughing heavily throughout training, and everyone was slowly beginning to realize that you’d shown up to the session despite being obviously ill. 

You were shivering despite the heat of the day. The sun that shone brightly down upon you as you ran about did nothing to warm you up. You felt weak and, at first, it had only caused you to push yourself further. At first, you’d thought that you hadn’t eaten enough, but even you were beginning to realize that you weren’t perfectly healthy. 

“No, you’re obviously not alright.” This voice was distinctly Australian, and quite protective. You glanced up from your bent elbow to glare at the two girls who were showing concern towards you, although a part of your heart warmed at how much they cared. 

Both Katie and Caitlin had their brows furrowed, eyes trailing along your form as they attempted to figure out what was wrong with you. 

You tried hard not to notice the trail of sweat on Katie’s abdomen as she wiped the sweat off of her face with the bottom of her shirt. Even while you were sick, the attention of the two girls’ threatened to send you into cardiac arrest. 

You liked to think that was the fever talking, but you knew that it wasn’t. Even after sleeping with the couple several times over, their presence always seemed to send your heart patterning wildly. You were grateful for your fever, suddenly, as it masked your blush. 

Caitlin noticed the way your eyes caught onto Katie’s muscles, and her mouth quirked up in the corner. The Aussie shook her head at you, a chuckle leaving her mouth as you looked back at her. 

“You’re sick, pumpkin. Why didn’t you mention something?” Both Caitlin and Katie tried not to be endeared as your lips turned into a pitiful frown.

“‘M not sick!” You protested, and Katie laughed, shaking her head at you. The Irish woman took a step forward, closing the distance between you and smoothing a few stray hairs back from your forehead. 

The back of her tanned hand felt the heat radiating off of your skin, and the older woman frowned. 

“Ah, you’ve got a fever, darling. You should be heading home to get some fluids and rest, not running around like a chicken with your head cut off.” Katie admonished, and you frowned even more. 

You hardly noticed Katie glancing over at Caitlin, or Caitlin whisking off to go talk to your coaching staff. You were only aware of Katie’s skin on yours as she pulled you into her side, supporting part of your weary body.

At first, you tried not to sink into the other womans’ body. You knew that public displays of affection weren’t something that they wanted, as your relationship with the other two was a secret. Now, however, Katie didn’t seem to mind, her hand gently rubbing patterns against your arm, where the sleeve of your training top had risen. 

Honestly, you weren’t even aware of what you’d call your relationship with the other two. 

It had started out with a drunken one night stand, when a barrage of “what if’s”, suggestive touches, and a few sloppy kisses that had carried you into their bedroom. Then, it had happened again… except you’d all been sober, and had happened after you’d all had a conversation about having sex more consistently. 

You’d had an agreement with the couple. You would all sleep together to take out some of the stress of your daily lives, and it wouldn’t carry into your professional or personal lives. 

At least, that was how it had begun. Ever-so-slowly, the couple had invited you over to cuddle, and to watch movies. They’d begin to exchange gifts with you, and let you sleep in their bed. Some of your belongings stayed at their home, and some of theirs stayed in yours. 

What had started out as an adventurous sexcapade had evolved into something more, with feelings and so, so many strings attached. You’d all started to love each other outside of sex, but had yet to actually talk about dating beyond agreeing to let things run their course, to see where it all turned out. 

As the two girls left training early with you between their bodies, you felt like it was all natural. Even the way that the two dragged you into their shared home felt normal, like it was your home, too. 

It was Caitlin who helped you to lay down on their couch, as Katie drifted into the kitchen to grab you some things. 

Caitlin knelt down beside your head, her hands cupping your cheeks as she gently kissed your lips. You tried to shove her away, and Caitlin kissed you again.

“Cait,” you whined. “You’re gonna get sick, too!” 

“That’s okay, pumpkin. Don’t worry, let’s just get you back and healthy, hm?” Cait kissed you again, her lips touching your forehead gently as she did so before she drew back. 

You watched her eyes drift upwards, watched as they lit up as Katie walked into the room. You wondered if it was natural for you not to be jealous– or if it was natural for Katie not to be jealous, or for Caitlin to be jealous. What the three of you had was special, your love was gentle, and kind… and shared, and you thought the communication between the three of you was equally as beautiful and important. 

You smiled, much wider than your normal smile. It was a delirious smile, sparked by your thoughts of how much you loved Katie and Caitlin. The two girls watched you grin, and they smiled back at you as Katie crouched down next to Caitlin.

“Hey there, darling. What’s my pretty girl thinkin’ about, hm?” Katie asked you as you took a bottle of cool, uncapped Gatorade from her hands. You tried not to pay attention to the fact that it was the white Gatorade, which neither girl actually liked, but which they kept in their fridge for you. 

You smiled again, heart warming at the Irish girls’ words. 

“I love you both.” You confessed, and now it was Cait and Katie’s turn to blush. All of you knew that if you hadn’t been a little bit delirious from your fever, you wouldn’t be telling them this. It wasn’t that you didn’t love them, you were just a bit more shy than the other two, especially when it came to showing affection. 

Throughout your relationship, the other two had always been making the boldest of strokes, the first moves. They’d been the ones to woo you, and it took the couple by surprise that you’d taken the initiative.

Both of their cheeks warmed at your words, having both talked about their love for you previously. The twos’ eyes met, just as yours closed, and they smiled at each other before Caitlin leaned forward and smoothed your hair back.

“We love you too, pumpkin. Very much. How are you feeling, hm?”

“You do?” Your eyes widened dramatically, and a large smile fell onto your face. Your cheeks hurt from grinning so hard and so much that day, but you couldn’t help it. 

“Of course we do. You’re our gorgeous girl.” Katie confirmed, leaning forward as well and handing you a packet of crackers. 

The two proceeded to take care of you for the rest of the day, showering you with compliments, praise, fluids, and food. 

They showed you how much they loved you as they handed you Katie’s hoodie and Cait’s shorts after you took a cool shower. They told you how much they loved you as they held you and watched your favorite movie with you, and as they took you up to bed to cuddle before you fell asleep. 

It would be a few days before the three of you could talk about your feelings, of course. After you’d gotten better, you’d had to take care of Caitlin and Katie as they fell ill with your same sickness. 

Your love for them was gentle, and verbal, and oh, so beautiful– the way you slipped effortlessly into their relationship only confirmed it.
