My hand lingered on the doorknob for a few seconds as I steeled my nerves for what was about to happen. Unfortunately, my nerves nor the sisters’ behind me were ready for Dew Star and Selene to suddenly appear behind us.

“Oh, Comet!” Dew Star called, making all three of us jump before quickly spinning around and finding the two, “I was worried you’d left again.”

“S-sorry,” I sighed as my heart only slowed down slightly, “I need to talk to you two, so I don’t plan on running away anytime soon.”

“T-talk?” Dew Star repeated as she looked into my eyes and seemed to instantly understand. Selene’s eyes widened slightly as she nodded in understanding. Stepping to the side, I let the two enter the room first before looking back at the two sisters who flashed me encouraging smiles that actually made me feel a little better. With a nervous sigh, I entered the room and closed the door behind me before joining my two admirers on the bed.

“So, uh…” I started, “I guess we have some things to talk about.”

“W-with her here?” Dew Star asked as she peered past me at Selene who narrowed her eyes in return.

“Yeah, it’s something you both need to hear,” I explained before taking a deep breath, “so first, I want to say thank you for being here with me while I was out.”

“Of course,” Dew Star said as Selene nodded.

“And second, I’m sorry for disappearing in the first place; both of your confessions were a bit too much for me to handle.”

“I-I’m sorry too,” Dew Star said with a slight blush, “ I might have been a little too forward.”

“No, no, it’s fine. While it may have been a little over the top, there was no other way I would have believed you; you know me. Now Selene, I know I said I’d have an answer for you a week ago, but uh, I’m not too sure how either of you will feel about what I had in mind.” Selene nodded her head in understanding as one of her claws reached out and held my hand.

“What is it?” Dew Star asked as her hooves took my other hand.

“Well,” I sighed, hoping the heavy feeling in my stomach would go away but didn’t, “…I like both of you, a lot. Dew Star, you’ve been with me since the beginning and it wasn’t until after you confessed that I realized how much I appreciate you. When I see you I the morning, your smile helps me get through the day and makes me look forward to seeing it again when I get home; your caring and loyal nature makes you dependable, which you’ve proven multiple times; your stutter is cute, or rather you in general are really cute; I love talking with you or just being around you; I love your chamomile scent which is why I like cuddling with you, and… I would keep going, but you look like you might pass out.” Her whole face was bright red as her wide eyes looked at everything in the room but my face. Oh, and her wings were spread pretty wide too.

“…Y-y-you d-don’t mean-”

“Yeah, I do; I mean every word,” I assured as I squeezed her hoof and turned my attention to Selene so Dew Star could calm down, “Selene, we haven’t known each other for that long, but I feel closer to you than others I’ve known a lot longer. In that short amount of time, I’ve come to admire your self-confidence and strength; even though you don’t speak and I don’t like talking all that much, I love talking with you; your expressiveness is refreshing and makes me more expressive in return; you’re beautiful and I could stare into your eyes forever; your-” Apparently, Selene can’t take compliments half as well as Dew Star because she cut me off by pressing a talon to my lips. Her feathered face was also a bright red before being nuzzled into my side from embarrassment.

“Now, the reason I wanted both of you here was to show each of you how much the other means to me and justify my offer to the two of you,” I explained, instantly pulling both of their attention back to me, “so, if you two are up for it… I’d like to try being in a herd.” There was silence for a moment.

“…Alright, I kind of expected this, so I guess it’s only fair if I give you two time to-”

“N-no!” Dew Star exclaimed as she took my hand again, “I don’t mind trying it, if it’s what you really want.” Selene nodded in agreement.

“Are you sure? I’m not so stupid to not notice you two don’t like each other that much.”

“W-well,” Dew Star muttered as she and Selene looked at each other blankly for a second, “I can tell that she does care about you the same way I do, so if that’s what you want, we can try it.” Selene once again nodded.

“Great,” I sighed heavily as I fell back onto the bed and felt my stomach finally relax, “thank you.”

Author's Note

And there you go: a terrible and unsatisfying ending. I almost want to finish it, but I literally can't get myself to write anymore of this story. Sorry to those who liked it.
