It was after the match between Yukihira Soma and Saito Somei. Kurokiba Ryo, Hayama Akira were both in Yukihira's room. The red head had gone on to get a soak in the hot springs. "Should we really be here?" Hayama is a little worried. "Relax, you're such a worrywort. He told us to come here." Kurokiba mutters. Hayama glares at Kurokiba. "Yea, and you are too relaxed." Hayama mumbles.
"Seriously, I'm gone for a bit and you guys are already fighting." Yukihira walks in wearing his yukata. Kurokiba shrugs, honestly he could care less about everything. "Why did you call us here?" Hayama asks, obviously starting to feel uncomfortable being in a place he shouldn't be. "Well you are my boyfriends, so can't I want my boyfriends sometime? Today has been rather tiring." Yukihira scratches the back of his head. He is not used to asking Kurokiba and Hayama for things.
Hayama and Kurokiba both looked at each other before they both got rid of their clothes and got into bed. They laid on each side of the bed, leaving the middle empty. "Come here." Hayama patted the empty spot in the middle. Yukihira carefully climbed into the empty space between Hayama and Kurokiba. Hayama immediately wraps his arm around Yukihira once he is settled. Kurokiba just lays there, supporting his head with his hand.
“You want some food? I can make you something.” Kurokiba mutters with his usual listlessness. “That would be nice.” Yukihira smiles. Kurokiba put on his clothes and made his way outside the room and made his way to the kitchen in the building. They were allowed to use the kitchen as they pleased. Isshiki, Takumi and Erina were still the kitchen preparing for tomorrow’s competition.
“Kurokiba? Why are you here? Shouldn’t you be with Alice?” Erina noticed Kurokiba first. “I came here to prepare food for Soma.” Kurokiba mumbles as he grabs some of the ingredients off the shelves. Erina raised her eyebrow confused but didn’t question it. Yea, the three of them — Kurokiba, Hayama and Yukihira — are in a secret relationship.

Hayama let his hand gently pat on Yukihira’s thighs. “You did great today.” Hayama mutters as he looks down at Yukihira. The red head was trying his best to make sure everyone didn’t get expelled. “Well yea, I didn’t want to lose any of you.” Yukihira smiles. “Sorry about that time during the exam. The thought of Jun…” Hayama apologises. “It’s fine. I know that Jun has always been a very important person to you. I don’t blame you for it.” Yukihira looks up at Hayama.
Hayama places a chaste kiss on Yukihira’s forehead. “Thank you.” Hayama gave a small smile. "You don't have to thank me." Yukihira places a kiss on Hayama's chest. Hayama holds Yukihira closer to himself as the both of them lay there, waiting for Kurokiba. It doesn't actually take long for Kurokiba to come back. Kurokiba walks in with a tray.
"I made one for each of us. Just some rice and some simple toppings." Kurokiba set the tray on the table. Hayama and Yukihira got out of bed and sat down in front of the table. The three of them just quietly ate their food.
"I was thinking if we should make our relationship public. I don't think I can make anymore excuses for my absence." Kurokiba says. "It will cause us more problems if we go public. We aren't the typical couple you see out on the streets." Hayama is still worried about the whole stigmatisation around gay couples and polygamous relationships.
"Erina was in the kitchen just now. She seemed so confused when I said I was making food for Soma." Kurokiba mentions. Yukihira is awfully quiet as he slurps at the food. "Soma, what do you think about this?" Hayama looks over at Yukihira. "The food is good." Yukihira finishes his food and placed the bowl on the table. "Pfft." Kurokiba almost chokes on the rice. Hayama just looks done with the both of them. "I meant the situation, Soma." Hayama says with an unimpressed look on his face.
"I don't mind going public. I love you guys that much and honestly I've been holding back. I get jealous." Yukihira admits. Kurokiba and Hayama both look at Yukihira, a little wide-eyed. They never quite expect Yukihira to be the jealous type. "The girls can express their love freely for their boyfriends, but I can't. Also, seeing you guys come back with so many chocolates, kind of make me feel some sort of way." Yukihira rubs both his hands together.
Hayama sighs, which prompted Yukihira to look up. "I am sorry that I never noticed your feelings about this." Hayama looks very guilty. "Hey, it's fine. You don't have to keep apologising. I just well, you feel uncomfortable if we go public so it's really okay if we don't." Yukihira reassures Hayama.
Kurokiba stood up and leaned closer to Hayama. Their lips connect right in front of Yukihira. "I know I'm not good at expressing myself, but I still love you and Soma. I think it's ok if you don't want to go public now, but you know you can't keep us a secret forever." Kurokiba says as he place a more passionate kiss against Hayama's lips.
"I-I didn't mean to look like I want to hide our relationship. I just, maybe I feel insecure. People have high expectations of me and if I'm gay and in a relationship with two other guys, what are those people going to think about me." Hayama mumbles. "If they have something to say, then they are definitely not worth your time." Yukihira says.
Hayama just nods slightly. "Anyway, I'm not in a rush to reveal our relationship, so don't worry about it. Damn, I'm tired." Yukihira stood up and went back to bed. "I'll bring the bowls back to the kitchen." Hayama stands up to pick up the tray with their empty bowls. "Do it tomorrow." Kurokiba grabs Hayama's wrist and pulls the white haired man to bed.
The three of them laid in bed pressed into each other.
"We were supposed to take care of you." Hayama says when he finds himself sandwiched between Yukihira and Kurokiba. "It's fine. You probably need this more than me. For now just close your eyes, relax and sleep." Yukihira caresses Hayama's arm as he slowly drifts off to sleep.
Kurokiba just lays there, his chest pressed against Hayama's back. "Ryou, I love you." Hayama felt the need to say. "I know, I never doubted your love, and also I love you too." Kurokiba places a kiss on the back of Hayama's neck.
The three of them snuggle in the small bed, somehow managed to fall asleep. They can always wait for another time to reveal their relationship.
