Vicious Bonds {COMPLETED}

8. Decisions

Milo who hadn't recovered from Victor's act of kindness was confused by Toby's sudden change in behaviour. He still scared him, the memory of what happened in that hotel room still too fresh in his memory, even if it was partially his fault.

Milo looked at Victor for support but he just smiled and patted his back, passing the two males to enter the warmth of his home.

That's when he noticed his two other husbands standing behind, hugging each other as if ready to be scolded.

"He made it." He sighed in relief and walked into the living room, throwing his exhausted body on the couch.

"What happened?" London rushed to ask, they knew the human was alive, well because he was hugging their husband in the doorway and it took every ounce of self control they had not to demolish him for such disrespect.

Victor signalled for them to sit by his side and just then Toby walked, pulling a very pale faced Milo behind him.

"Sit down you two." Victor gestured for them to take a seat in the L shaped couch as well, his husbands immediately comprehending that he was about to make an announcement.

"Victor, what happened? Where did you take him and why did you ignore my calls and texts?" Toby who couldn't let go of Milo's hand sat down as instructed and pulled his mate to his side.

"It's a long story, baby. I wanted to talk to you all now to get this over with. As your husband and head of this household, I've decided what we are to do with Milo." He startes as he looked at each one of his loving husbands individually, then setting his eyes on Milo to continue talking.

"First of all, he shall receive no harm under our hands, each one of us is to protect him out of respect to Toby's claim on him." He could see the mortified look on London's face, Arrow simply looked down, still ashamed of his own actions.

"Harming him is disrespecting Toby, not protecting him is disobeying me. I hope this is clear enough. " he insisted and he saw London and Arrow nodding their heads while Toby's smile was about to rip his face.

"Now, Milo was marked against his will, which means he will highly disturbed by it, that's why he has been put under a spell that prevents him from feeling the bond for few days or weeks. It should help him stay away from Toby as well for the moment being." He didn't fail to notice Toby's pout at that little detail, he looked at the little human with sadness in his eyes but didn't dare to protest.

"Does that mean he is one of us now?" London's glare was directed towards Milo as he spoke and the mundane could almost feel his face burning.

"No. Not yet, he will live with us for a month, by the end of this month we will collectively decide whether we want to continue this thing or not." He clarified, understanding his husband's worries.

"I know you all feel lost, distraught and pained. None of us asked to be in this situation. But at the end of the day, we promised to have each other's backs and if we let our jealousy strip Toby of his only happiness, do we truly love him?" At those words, Arrow and London looked at the light fairy with sorrow in their eyes, they knew they screwed up when they saw the state he was in.

They were way too engrossed in their own possessive tendencies and jealousy that they didn't even notice he hadn't eaten or slept since it began. He was torn between the three men he loved with his entire body and soul, and every fiber in his body that told him to protect what's his.

"Toby, do you want to say something?" Arrow asked in a soft voice when he noticed the little fairy was trying to swallow back tears.

"No..." it came as a crooked voice and Milo couldn't help but pity the guy. He unconsciously squeezed his hand, to try and ease his obvious anxiety and soon Arrow came to sit at his right.

"I'm sorry Toby." He whispered, planting a kiss on his head.

London who was still taking in what Victor had announced, but didn't hesitate to stand up and kneel before Toby, taking his small hands in his and kissing them tips of his fingers, knowing all to well how relaxing that is for him.

"We are sorry Toby." London whispered between the kisses and as Milo took in the scenery before his eyes, he couldn't help but wish, deep down that he had people who cared for him and understood him like these men did for each other.

"Now, one last thing before we go to bed." Victor interrupted Toby who was pecking his two husbands lips, conveying his gratitude.

Milo lifted his eyes from the scenery to look at the man he was stuck with all day long.

"I will conceal London's magic tomorrow morning, he is to start living by Milo's routine and at his house for the next week."
