CREEPER (MAGNUS)

We returned after four days away, having completed our mission and reported everything to Dezikiel over the phone.

And while we were gone, it seemed Bug had been wooing Lily. Especially since we both burst into her room to find her snuggled up in Bug’s side napping while he read a book.

I had a bouquet of lilies, while Jack had picked up a nice sky-blue dress on the way home and some chocolates.

We both just stared at Bug as he carefully pried himself away without waking her.

“I take it you guys went on a mission?” Bug murmured as he joined us by the door.

“Yeah, done and dusted,” Jack stated as he gave him a curious look.

“You’ve been getting cozy with Lily.” I smirked.

“Yeah, Chum and I both had dates with her. We ended up agreeing to not make her choose since she cares for us both,” Bug shifted uneasily as he eyed the gifts we had for her.

“So we’re all going to share her?” I mused.

“Creeper and I also agreed to such a thing,” Jack added when Bug gave me a bewildered look. I could only shake my head, smirking at the turn of events. How typical that our brothers had decided to woo her and share her as well.

“We were going to tell you both, but we got sent off before we could. I think we shouldn’t fight over her, if she’s happy to be with all of us, then so should we,” Jack explained.

I stood back as they spoke in hushed words, and Bug relaxed as Jack explained how he was happy to share her.

Bug believed she would be open to it, although four guys were going to be interesting.

I didn’t care. I wanted Lily, and I wanted her happy.

“You guys are back,” Lily’s voice rose up, and I turned, smiling softly as she stretched and slid off the bed.

I took charge, waltzing over to offer her the lilies.

She frowned for a moment before softening and accepting the gift.

“We bought you gifts. Seems Chum and Bug have been trying to win you over. Jack says we can all share you, if you’ll have us,” I said blatantly, and I heard Jack groan behind me as Bug gave a sharp laugh.

“You guys want… to share me?” She frowned as she glanced past me at the other two.

“We all want to date you and be with you,” I said with a shrug. Was it not obvious to her?

She looked puzzled, and the other two quickly joined us.

“What he means is… well, we are all fond of you, Lily. We’ve discussed it at length with one another, and we believe we would all be okay with just sharing you. I know it’s not normal, many would say it’s unconventional, but we’re not normal people. We’re hellhounds, our purpose is to serve and protect you. I’m not sure if our feelings were meant to be what they are, but we can’t change that. Your happiness is all that matters,” Jack said, and I just arched a brow at him. I’d just said it in less words.

Lily flicked her gaze between us, her brow furrowed.

“What about your happiness? How can you all seriously be happy with sharing me? You wouldn’t get jealous or upset?” she asked softly.

“Making you happy makes us happy. We will still pursue our own interests as well. As for jealousy, I don’t think it’s something we will have an issue with. Especially if it’s what makes you happy at the end of the day,” Jack answered, and Bug nodded in agreement.

“It’s not normal,” she mumbled as her cheeks flushed.

“What even is normal? We’re hellhounds, Lily. We turn into monsters, you control hellfire. None of us are what you’d call normal, so why should we follow the ‘normal’ path?” Jack smirked, and she pursed her lips uneasily.

“We’re all going to be here for you anyway, and we’ll choose to make you happy regardless. If you decide you don’t want to be shared, we will respect that as well,” Bug added, and she groaned and shook her head.
