Work Text:
After an awful breakup you had to move out from the apartment you shared with your boyfriend- now ex-boyfriend. You crashed at a few friends places for a while until you could get on your feet again. Working as a small time librarian you didn't earn much money, so renting an apartment on your own would be a massive financial struggle for you.
Looking over various websites and ads you finally found something that looked promising. It was a medium sized house that was in a pretty safe area. So you decided to reach out to the person who put out the ad. To your surprise you got a call back saying that the offer was still available, the person on the other end offered to meet up with you for coffee so you could talk out all the details.
Soon you learned that your new roommates' names were Donovan (who asked you to just call him Rocker) and Deacon. They looked like very close friends and you also found out they worked at the same place. They didn't exactly say where they worked but all you knew was that it was dangerous so they were probably first responders of some sort.
A few days later you finally moved in. As soon as you pulled up into the driveway the door immediately opened and Deacon stepped out with Rocker following right behind him. They quickly gave you a tour of the house and after showing you everything, Deacon immediately said they'd help you bring in all of your things since they didn't want you carrying anything too heavy, saying that's how a gentleman should act. Which made your cheeks flush slightly at his words.
After a while the three of you had some sort of routine. Deacon and Rocker would always go on runs together in the morning, you would sometimes make breakfast for them right before going to work. One day the doorbell rang and thinking it was one of the boys, you immediately opened it with a smile on your face which quickly fell. It was your ex-boyfriend.
“What do you want?” Your eyes narrowed in annoyance while glaring at him. “I just wanted to talk- baby please she means nothing to me!” Your ex said pleadingly, you could see right through his act. You would accept his apology, move back in and the cycle of him cheating on you would start all over again.
But not this time.
This time you were stronger and knew your worth.
Just then you saw Rocker and Deacon approaching from behind your ex. You sighed in slight relief upon seeing them, your ex unfortunately noticed the look on your face and turned around quickly with fire blazing in his eyes while he glared at both men.
“Really Y/n? These two? You're cheating on me with these two bastards?” Your ex screamed accusingly while stepping closer to you. You immediately took a step back and before you knew it Deacon was right in front of your ex glaring at him. “Leave. Her. Alone.” Deac said in a cold icy tone, Rocker then added. “She doesn't want you- so leave before we make you.” They both stood in such a way that it created a wall in between you and your ex. “Fine. This isn't over Y/n.” Your ex spat out before turning on his heel and angrily storming away. “Bye loser!” Rocker called after him with a smirk before slamming the door shut and locking it.
“You okay sweetheart?” Deacon asked softly while gently rubbing your arms to calm you down upon seeing the distressed look on your face. “Mhm.” You just hummed in response while trying to hold back tears. They both noticed your upset expression, Rocker then gently led you towards the kitchen and sat you down at the kitchen island before pulling out three mugs to make some tea.
You first thought that Deacon was more of a tea person & Rocker more of a coffee kind of person but you found out soon after moving in that you couldn't be more wrong.
You could see both men exchange a few concerned glances above your head while Deacon gently rubbed your back. Soon a cup of hot camomile tea was placed in front of you. “I'm sorry. I don't know how he found me…I never told him where I live after I moved out.” You said quietly while wiping away a few stray tears from your cheeks. “You don't have to apologise. You're safe here and we won't let anyone hurt our girl. Understood?” Rocker asked with a gentle smile on his face. You just nodded while your cheeks flushed red upon hearing the nickname.
The men exchanged another glance upon seeing how adorable you looked with flushed cheeks. They both fell in love with you after they saw you for the first time at that coffee shop. The only issue? They were dating each other. It wasn't a secret to people in their lives but it seemed like you hadn't figured it out- yet.
Deacon was the one who first brought up asking you to join their relationship. He saw how his boyfriend looked at you and he knew that look well enough. Rocker immediately agreed with Deac’s idea. Now all they had to find was the right moment to bring it up to you.
They had tried everything but you couldn't seem to get the hint! During movie nights they'd always make you sit in the middle on the couch while ‘pretending’ to yawn just to be able to place an arm around your waist or shoulder to tug you closer. You still hadn't caught onto the small gestures, like Rocker always making sure your favourite candy and sweets were always stacked up or how Deacon would always make you lunch or something quick to eat before you went to work early in the mornings.
One of the most obvious ones was them always insisting on you to borrow their jackets when it was cold outside. Your cheeks would always flush pink when they insisted and you had a small hunch that they were flirting with you in some way. But you kept telling yourself that it was all in your imagination.
“Y/n.” Deacon stated softly while stepping closer to you. “Yes?” You asked quietly with a small frown. All you could think about was what if they asked you to move out or what if-
Before you could continue to spiral Rocker spoke up. “Sweetheart, we just want to talk with you. It's nothing serious, you're not in any trouble.” He said while grabbing your hand and unclenching your fists, gently holding onto your hands.
“We wanted to ask you something- before you say anything please hear us out okay?” Deacon asked with a gentle smile, him and Rocker exchanged a glance while Rocker nodded. You looked at both men in confusion before Rocker finally spoke up.
“So you may have not noticed or figured it out yet, but me and Deacon are dating.” Rocker said while running a hand through his hair. “And the reason we’ve been flirting with you so much is because- we'd like you to join our relationship.” Deacon finished while looking at you with a hopeful expression.
To say that you were in shock would be an understatement. Two of your very hot and handsome roommates just admitted they both had a crush on you and wanted to join a relationship.
“Are you sure…?” You asked quietly while looking at both of them. Upon noticing how unsure you look, they both stepped closer. Deacon gently grabbed your chin tilting your head upwards, your cheeks flushed red upon the eye contact but you didn't look away. “We couldn't be more sure of anything sweetheart. If you say no we can always forget that this conversation ever happened.” Rocker said with a comforting smile.
“Okay.” You whispered quietly while looking at both of them with flushed cheeks and wide eyes. Rocker then brushed the hair out of your forehead. “Does this mean you'll start dating the both of us and go on a proper date with us?” Rocker asked with a small smirk, to which you just nodded before getting up and hugging Deacon tightly before grabbing Rocker and also pulling him into the hug.
“Our sweet girl.” Deacon whispered into your hair. Rocker just held you tighter against his and Deac's chest. “I'm so happy you two finally asked me.” You whispered quietly. “Took us long enough, right Don?” Deacon asked with a small smile.
Maybe it would all be okay with your two new boyfriends after all…
