Love and Candi were both spending their weekend hanging out in Love’s dorm room. They weren’t exactly sure if they were or weren’t dating yet. It's not like there is an exact point where spending time with a friend that you find attractive immediately changes into the two of you dating, but what they do know is that they love spending time with each other.

 

More specifically, Love has just introduced Candi to Sailor Moon and she was loving it so far.

 

“...Hey Candi?” Love asks nonchalantly as she watches the show.

 

“...What’s up?” Candi responds as she leans against Love on the couch.

 

“...Who’s your favorite character so far?”

 

“This might be a cliche answer, but I am really enjoying Usagi so far! I just relate to her, you know?”

 

“...That actually makes a lot of sense. Now that I think about it, you two are very alike.”

 

Love leans even closer into Candi.

 

“...You are both quirky, funny, and cute…I do think you are a lot smarter than she is though…”

 

“...You…you really think so?” Candi asks as she leans into Love.

 

“...Yeah…I think that you’re adorable…”

 

“...You’re the cute one though…”

 

“...No, you are…”

 

“No, you are!”

 

Both girls suddenly burst into laughter.

 

When their laughter eventually subsides they both look into each other’s eyes…and then they share a kiss.

 

They are suddenly interrupted by a knock at the door.

 

Love gives and annoyed sigh, separates herself from Candi, and pauses the show before walking over to see who was at the door.

 

It ended up being Maka, who was blushing for some reason.

 

“...Hey guys…what’s up?” Maka asks as she looks to the side while rubbing the back of her neck.

 

“...Not much…” Love says as she lets Maka into the room. “...I was just introducing Candi to an anime I thought she might like…”

 

“Which I do! Sailor Moon is awesome!” Candi loudly chimes in.

 

“...Sounds like fun…mind if I…join you guys?” Maka asks with a far more shy and awkward tone than she usually does.

 

“...Uh…sure…Why not…” Love responds as she sits back down on the couch and taps the seat next to herself. She also notices how weird Maka was acting, but decides not to question it. “...So…would you mind if we continue from where we are…or would you want us to start back from the beginning?”

 

“...Just continue from where you guys left off…” Maka says as she takes the seat that Love was gesturing towards.

 

Love presses play on the remote and they continue to watch the episode.

After watching for a couple of hours they decide to stop after episode 10, which was the episode that introduced Rei to the show.

 

“...So…what did you think?” Love asks Maka.

 

“At first I thought it was kind of cheesy and a little outdated, but I actually really got into it after a while. I wasn’t expecting the show to be that funny.”

 

“...So…who is your favorite character so far?”

 

“Even though I just met her, I really like Rei! I love her fiery passion!”

 

“I knew you were going to say that!” Candi says before she places a handful of popcorn into her mouth. “There are a lot of similarities between the two of you.”

 

The three girls continue to share their thoughts on the show for a little while, but eventually the conversation dies down.

 

“...So?” Love asks Maka as she rubs plays with the strings on her hoodie. “...What did you want to tell me earlier?”

 

“...Whaaaaat? I…I wasn’t trying to ask you anything…I just wanted to hang out with my gals!” Maka says as she tries (and fails) not to blush again.

 

“If that’s all you wanted to do, then why are you blushing so much?” Candi says as she absentmindedly reaches down into the bowl of popcorn while quickly realizing that the bowl was empty and that she just ate the last of it.

 

“I’M NOT BLUSHING!” Maka loudly lies.

 

“...Sure you aren’t…” Love says with a small yet knowing smile as she takes the empty bowl to her sink.

 

“I’M NOT THOUGH!” Maka shouted as if she was trying to convince herself more than the other two girls.

 

Love and Candi share a quick glance before looking back towards Maka.

 

“Just say what you want to say Sharktooth.” Candi says with a smirk.

 

“...Yeah…you can tell us anything…” Love says as she brushes her bangs to the side.

 

“...Fine! You’re right…” Maka says as she rubs the back of her neck and looks down towards the floor. “...There is something that I want to say…to…to both of you actually…It’s just that…when I walked in earlier and I saw that the two of you were already hanging out…just the two of you…I got nervous…”

 

“Maka Sharktooth! Nervous!” Candi says with a faux shocked expression on her face. “I never thought that I’d see the day!”

 

Love briefly glares at Candi ,who tries to stifle a laugh in response, before turning her attention back towards Maka.

 

“...You don’t have to tell us anything if you don’t want to, Maka…We are all ears whenever you are ready though…”

 

Maka takes a couple of  deep breaths in an attempt to settle her nerves.

 

“...No…I think that I’m ready…” Maka says as she walks over to the couch and takes a seat between the two other girls. “...I know that I can tell you two anything, but you know how stupid brains can be sometimes…”

 

Love and Candi both nod as they wait for Maka to tell them what was on her mind.

 

“...So…um…where to start…” Maka says as she leans back and looks up at the ceiling. “...Do you guys remember…that thing…we were talking about a few months ago…”

 

“I think I know what you’re talking about, but I guess that you want to be the one to say it.” Candi says with a much more calm and serious voice than she usually did.

 

“...Yeah…that…” Maka says as she starts blushing again. “...So…when you said that you’d be open to dating both of us…I…I’ve thought it over…and I think that I’ve made up my mind…”

 

Love and Candi just patiently waited for Maka to respond as they both also started to blush.

 

“...Yes…” Maka eventually manages to say. “...My answer is yes…I think that dating both of you would be…cool…”

 

Maka immediately grabs the closest pillow and covers her face with it.

 

“Yes!” Candi responds almost immediately and leans over to give Maka a hug.

 

“...I think that I’d like that…” Love says as she also leans over to give Maka a hug.

 

Love and Candi remove the pillow from Maka’s hands and toss it to the side.

 

“...So…now that I got the hard part out of the way?” Maka says as she leans into the hug. “...What do we do now?”

 

“I think I have an idea.” Candi says with a seductive look as she bites her lip.

 

Candi leans over to Love and whispers something in her ear which causes Love to blush, but this is quickly followed by an affirmative nod.

 

Love and Candi each grab one of Maka’s hands and threaded their fingers together. They then simultaneously lean in and give Maka a kiss on the cheek.

 

They then let go of Maka’s hands and thread their own fingers together and briefly yet passionately kiss each other on the lips.

 

They then both turn to look back at Maka, who was blushing even more wildly than she was before.

 

“...So…how was that…” Love asks with a small yet seductive smile on her face.

 

“...When did you become so…forward?” Maka asks as she tries to wrap her head around what just happened. “...You are a lot more confident than you were just a couple months ago…”

 

“...Let’s just say that I have a little more…experience than I did before…” Love says as she shoots Candi a quick glance.

 

“I was kidding earlier…Well, mostly kidding, but it is strange to see you so flustered, Maka.” Candi responds with a loving smile.

 

“...It’s just that…I don’t have a lot of experience with…stuff like this…”

 

“...I thought that you said that you dated someone back in high school?” Love asks as she cocks her head to the side in confusion.

 

“...Oh, that…That’s different…” Maka says as she quickly tries to change the subject.

 

Love and Candi notice that Maka is visibly uncomfortable while talking about this and decide not to press her any further.

 

“...So…I guess we’re dating now…” Maka states as she tries to absorb this information as it hasn’t clicked in her brain yet.

 

“...Yeah…I guess we are…” Love says as she leans in to give Maka another peck on the cheek.

 

“This is going to be so much fun! I love you girls so much!” Candi says through a small laugh as she also leans in to kiss Maka on the cheek.

 

After the conversation dies down again Maka wraps her hands around Love and Candi’s shoulders as they all lean into each other.

 

This silence is eventually broken by Candi though.

 

“...Hey Maka…I think that you owe me something…”

 

“...Oh yeah…I think I have a ten in my wallet…” Maka says as she starts to reach into her pocket.

 

“Not that silly!” Candi says as she takes Maka’s hand into her own. “You owe both me and Love two kisses! You didn’t think those were free, did you?”

 

Maka rolls her eyes in mock annoyance before she complies with the other girl’s demands.
