They were slowly making their way through the park in comfortable silence taking in the nighttime scenery around them. Though he couldn't help but take a few peeks at the mare next to him, who had to slow down for his benefit. She had a beautiful smile that slightly faltered when she looked at him.

"You know you look better if you keep smiling." He said, making her look at him in a little confusion. "Your smile, you let it slip when you look at me."

"Oh, um, sorry I'm just thinking." She said, giving him a full smile.

"Thinking about our relationship?" He asked.

"That's part of it, the other part is even if Luna forgives me would she even allow us? I mean all three of us together?" She asked, her nervousness seeping into her voice.

"I think she will, I mean I know she wants me to be happy. So, I think she'll at least consider it. But seriously, you don't need to be worried about that because I won't just let her tell you to bug off. I'll actually try to convince her if she doesn't give it a chance." He replied, stopping making her turn around and look at him.

"Why'd you stop walking?" She asked, in slight confusion.

"Because I just want to make sure you know how much I do care about you." He said, bending over making their lips meet. "I do promise that it'll work out."

"Y-yeah, I guess I should stop worrying about it." She said, a blush spreading across her cheeks making him give a slight chuckle.

"You know, I'm probably going to die of cuteness overload if you and Luna keep this up." He said, starting to walk again.

"Hmm, then I wonder who'll be the first one to give you mouth to mouth?" She joked, after managing to recover and catch up making him laugh.

"Well, whoever does do it I just hope they're a good kisser." He said, giving her a smirk but that quickly morphed into another grimace.

"Are you sure it's just your back being sore?" She asked, her expression concerned and worried.

"I-i'm sure, it's just a little sorer than I thoug...AAGGHH!" He screamed as he fell to his knees.

"Brandon!" She yelled in surprise and running to his side to see him sweating and panting. "You are not okay, tomorrow no matter what we're taking you to the hospital."

"I-i'm fine, really. I just need some rest." He replied, trying to get up only for Lyra to put a hoof on his shoulder.

"I'm sure you do need some rest, but that doesn't change the fact of what just happened. I think you need to see a doctor, and I'm sure Luna would agree with me on this." She said, her tone and eyes making him surrender.

"F-fine, but only because it's you." He said, grimacing as he stood up.

"What if it was Luna that told you to go?" She asked, watching him carefully.

"I wouldn't have much of a choice in the matter, I would've just been teleported there." He answered, catching his breath. "So, um, you ready?"

"Yeah, but are you?" She asked, and in response, he nodded.

They once again started to walk, though now there was a bit of worry and tension in the air. She kept a watchful eye on him, having a spell ready if he did decide to fall over again. Though she didn't know if her magic was actually strong enough to lift him, seeing as how he managed to fight it when she was trying to leave.

Though she felt a little relief when his house came into view, and she couldn't help but start to get nervous again. But looking at him again, those nerves seemed to disappear and she smiled again. She just couldn't help it, for some reason just thinking about his confident words and expression just made her relax.

"So, whatcha looking at?" He asked, and as she looked up she could see that he had managed to recover from what happened.

"Mmm, nothing in particular." She replied, looking around.

"You ready to go inside then?" He asked, pointing his head to the door in front of them.

"We're already here?" She replied in response, even though she knew that they only had a few minutes when his house was in view.

"Yup, we actually got here a minute ago but you were too busy staring at me." He said, raising an eyebrow making another blush appear.

"Oh, um, t-that was nothing. Yeah, I'm ready whenever you are." She said, looking down at the ground.

He didn't say anything, only giving her a smile which she couldn't see and starting to open the door. When he cleared his throat she looked up and saw him waiting for her to follow him in. As they entered, they could hear humming coming from the kitchen and when they entered Luna was standing there doing dishes.

"Luna, I'm back." He announced, making the alicorn princess turn around with a huge smile.

"There you are! So, did your talk with Lyra go alright?" She asked, not knowing the mare she was talking about was just behind the door frame.

"It went far better than what I thought it would." He answered, swallowing in nervousness.

"Well that's good, but I feel like you need to tell me something else." She said, giving him a look that told him to go ahead.

"Um, yeah I do. But first I need to ask you something." At this, she gave a nod and he took a deep breath. "How do you feel about herding?" He asked.

"I think it's quite admirable when one simply cannot choose between lovers and they manage to get them to agree to be in a big relationship. Though from what I've heard, it's very challenging." She answered.

"W-would you ever want to be a part of one?" He asked, his face going completely red.

"Are you suggesting that you want to add another to us?" She asked, and he gave a weak nod. "Brandon, you must know that I do care for you deeply and want to make you happy. If you want to start a herd, then I see no problem in letting another mare in. As long as it's somepony you actually care about, and you know you can trust then I could also give her a shot." She replied, walking up to him giving him a loving nuzzle and light peck on the cheek. "But I must ask, how long is she going to hide behind the door frame?"

"H-how did you know I was here?" Lyra asked, peeking from behind the door.

"Because, when you two came in I heard your hove steps. Though I wasn't sure who it was until he told me that your talk went great, on top of that I saw part of your mane." Luna answered, giving her a distrustful glare. "So, am I to assume that you're the one he wants to add?"

"Yes, she is the one." He answered, making both mares look at him. "Luna, what happened was just a misunderstanding."

"You mean her calling you a monster thus making you depressed?" Luna asked.

"Yeah, it wasn't what she actually thought about me. It was a lie told to me by her, um, ex-marefriend." He explained, keeping eye contact.

"And what about her not coming here in a week letting you suffer?" Luna asked, her tone taking in a little venom.

"I was kept busy by my marefriend, and she told me that he was still in the hospital." Lyra jumped in.

"So, this ex of your's lied to both you and Brandon, and kept you busy so you wouldn't be able to come here?" Lyra gave a nod. "And are you sure you have feelings for her?"

"Yes, I do just like I have feelings for you." He replied, giving a peck on her cheek making her blush. "And why are you blushing? It's not like she won't be seeing that since she'll be staying here."

"Wait, what do you mean she's staying here?" Luna asked, making him and Lyra look at each other and it was him who spoke.

"Luna, she lived with her ex-marefriend. When she broke up with her, she had to leave and I don't think it would be a good idea for her to go back." He answered, and as Luna looked at Lyra she could see the tears that were being held back.

"And you don't have any other friends or family that would let you stay?" Luna asked.

"N-no, I don't. Most of my friends and family live in Canterlot, which I was planning on heading there tonight before I bumped into Brandon." Lyra answered, making Luna give a sigh.

"I suppose if you don't have another place to go then I guess you can stay with us," Luna said, giving him a small smile.

"Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!" Lyra screamed, wrapping Luna in a tight hug which she didn't let go until Luna cleared her throat.

"You're very welcome, but I must warn you. If I find out that you hurt him, I do have the power to send you to a dungeon." Luna whispered, making Lyra gulp and nod.

"Yeah, I understand and I don't want to hurt him. I never have wanted to hurt him he's my best, no our coltfriend now." Lyra replied, and when she looked at him she nearly fell over laughing as he was redder and had an eyebrow raised.

"And what is so funny?" Luna asked, looking back at him and noticing his expression. "Oh, so tell me, Brandon, what were your thoughts when Lyra hugged me?" This only made him more embarrassed, and he let out a slight cough.

"Um, well I-I thought that it's great that you're willing to give her a chance and very cute when she hugged you." He said, not looking at either of them. "I-is it hot in here?"

"Nope, sure isn't must just be your imagination," Lyra replied, but both mares seemed to have a teasing smirk.

"I must agree with Lyra, it must be your imagination running wild." Luna said.

"M-maybe," he said, getting more uncomfortable by the second. "Um, hey I think I'm pretty tired. So, I'm just gonna turn in."

"Oh, and what about our nap earlier?" Luna asked, giving him another evil smirk.

"Wait, you two took a nap together?" Lyra asked, in surprise.

"Yes, we did and it was the best nap I've had since I returned. Being cuddled by my coltfriend, he's like a teddy bear really." Luna teased.

"Hmm, sounds like fun. You know maybe we all should turn in?" Lyra suggested, making him freeze and Luna blush like crazy, but after a second she recovered.

"I think that sounds lovely, and I think you would definitely love having two mares in the same bed as you," Luna said, and by this time he was completely frozen in shock at what he was hearing.

"Yeah, so what do you say Brandon? Would you like us to join you?" Lyra asked, and suddenly he turned his head with a huge smile.

"Actually, if you two wouldn't mind..." He took a pause, and both mares were waiting in anticipation even though they thought they knew the answer already. "I would actually appreciate that I mean as Luna can say I've had terrible nightmares. And when I and Luna were napping, I didn't have a single one."

"Wait, what?" Both mare's asked at the same time, both with a slight blush.

"You mean you actually want u-us, all three of us in the same bed?" Lyra asked, and he gave a nod.

"I mean you don't have to, but it would make me feel better to have you two there laying next to me." He said, giving them a smile.

"Well, um, I-I really don't mind. But, what a-about you, Luna?" Lyra asked, and as they looked over to her she was switching between expressions, first happy, then conflicted, then nervous, and it repeated like that until she spoke.

"I think that as long as we sleep one either side of him, it would be okay by me," Luna said, giving them a smile.

"That's great, now let's go to my room." He said, and starting towards his room.

"You mean right now?" He stopped and gave a nod towards Lyra. "You were serious about being tired?"

"Of course, that walking made me tired. Especially after my back acted up." He replied.

"Your back was hurting earlier?" Luna asked, concern in her voice.

"Don't worry about it Luna, I'm fine for right now. And we can talk about it tomorrow, okay?" He asked, giving her a pleading look of not pressing the issue any further.

"Alright, but tomorrow you are going to the hospital," Luna said, making him give a bit of a snort. "And what was that?"

"It's nothing, just great minds think alike, right Lyra?" He asked, giving her a tiny poke.

"Y-yeah, I told him the same exact thing," Lyra answered, giving a blush.

"Hmm, very good then. Now, how about we go and lay down?" Luna said though something in her tone made him shudder.
