Gabe wraps an arm around Ari. "I am pretty sure we used to be the same soul," he whispers. "Got the same reaction when I first met him."

"Tall!" Ari whispers. "Attractive!"

He goes on whispering. "Not only that, he is stronger than he looks. His planet has some kind of weird biomagic and some people are like that. The triplets are halfway between that and normal."

"Is he proportional?"

Gabe makes a sad expression and shakes his head indicating he doesn't know.

Felix turns to them and raises his hands apart. His smile widening as he does so.

Short answer: Very proportional.

"That's just not fair. Can I poach him?" he asks, bringing Felix into the whispering.

Felix eyes them up and down exaggeratedly. "No poaching. Which doesn't mean you two can't have some fun."

"...Run that by me again?"

"Katur is shy, but not hard to seduce. Just don't surprise him with being into fireplay or something." Felix thinks for a moment. "Henry came up with the idea of giving him to Gabe as a birthday gift."

"No fire. Got it. And maybe, if you're saving him for Gabe's birthday, I should be the one to fuck him, and Gabe can just watch. Maybe tied up, so he doesn't try to get up to anything untoward. That sounds like the best solution."

"That's not cool, bro. Admittedly, it's kinda hot, but not cool."

Felix chuckles.

"But Gabe, the anticipation makes it all the sweeter. Don't you want your birthday to be special?"

Gabe's brain appear to be short-circuiting between the two conflicting kinks of tall guys and being controlled.

Felix pats Gabe on the back. "So, Katur is too much of a professional to do anything too interesting at work. Do you want to come over our place? It has a nice backyard and a pool."

"Yeah! I'm guessing this would be after we disentangle the current fucked-up situation?"

Nod. "At very least we would need to lit up the stars again." Head tilt. "I am almost sure it might be a good idea if you're demonstrably not living at the tower? It isn't the usual procedure."

"Are you trying to steal Henry's man, which also one of the two men I belong to?"

"I like the tower," Ari contributes.

Shrug. "At least try not to get caught in the act."

Ari sighs. "What the fuck is up with this place? Okay, sure, explain the problem with me living with Gabe and Henry, I'm listening."

Gabe pats his back. "I never understood the issue."

He touches Ari's arm gently. "I don't actually agree with this. Well, not for this particular situation. But the five of us are public servants that provide various magic-related services. Like light-up the crystal stars in the sky to simulate a day-night cycle. And help people that found themselves in Elsewhere like you do. You're dependent on us for many things already, guidance, shelter, food," he points at the translation bracelet, "the ability to communicate, and so on. When that kind of power imbalance is created, people are concerned that it can be used to the benefit of the person's in power to get things coercively. One of the major things being sex. So they create steps and policies to make abuses less likely. One of such is giving people a place to live independently as expediently as possible."

"Okay, cool, I have the right to an independent place to live. I waive that right. Because I'm living with my boyfriends. I wouldn't want a separate place here anyway, if it weren't for these two I'd be happy sleeping in the woods while somebody worked out a portal home. ...Also that doesn't explain why living at your place would be any better, you're public servants too."
