Chapter Text
Cosmos was preparing to take Aries out on a date. He'd decided to take her to an nice earth restaurant so she could try some earth food for the first time. He'd already made the reservation and was making sure he looked nice when he heard a knock at the door. He had a small room in the astrals castle that he rested in when he wasn't on astral mission. These rooms weren't used much since most of the astrals just slept floating in space, but having his own space made him feel more comfortable so they let him have it.
The person knocked again confusing Cosmos slightly. He was supposed to be picking up Aries so why was she at his room? He got his answer as he opened the door, it wasn't Aries who was knocking, it was Kerian.
"What are you doing here?" Cosmos's tone a mix of surprise and a bit of annoyance. "Oh my dear Cosmos, I came to take you out on a date." That left Cosmos surprised as he gapped at the tall bird. "A date? You do know I'm dating Aries right? And in case you didn't know I've got a date with her tonight that I need to finish getting ready for so if you could leave." Cosmos said as he attempted to close the door. Kerian was quick to put his foot in the way and force the door back open.
Kerian stepped into the room closing the door behind him. Cosmos stepped back but for each step he took Kerian took two until Cosmos ran into the something. Surprised he turned his head to see he'd run into the wall. He was shocked by the dark star standing in front of his as Kerian put his hands on either side of Cosmos's head pinning him to the wall.
"Wa..what are you doing!?" the blush spreading across his face obvious to Kerian who simply chuckled moving his head down to Cosmos's neck planting a kiss on it. Cosmos had to cover his mouth to prevent himself from letting out any sounds.
"You can't be doing this. I'm dating Aries and I love her a lot so I refuse to cheat on her." Kerian locked eyes with Cosmos, "But you love me to don't you. We both know it. After all you've admitted multiple times you find me very attractive, just as I find you utterly beautiful." Cosmos blush deepened as he tried to look away.
"Come on my dear, why don't you just admit it?" Kerian said as he cupped Cosmos's face with one of his hands. "Maybe I do, but I've already made it clear I won't cheat on Aries." Kerian's was quick to respond "But if you weren't dating her you would be with me?" Cosmos just closed his eyes and nodded, what else could he say, it was true after all. If he hadn't gotten with Aries he probably would have gotten with Kerian.
"I'm more surprised you got with me initially and not Kerian considering how you look at him." came Aries voice from the doorway. Cosmos heart fell onto his stomach as she walked into the room closing, and this time locking, the door behind her. "Aries I promise this isn't what it looks like! Kerian was just...just." he didn't know what to say to explain the situation he was currently in.
Aries simply walked over that gentle smile of her remaining on her face. "Oh I know what's going on. How do your think Kerian was able to find out what room you where staying in?" This left Cosmos very confused. Why had Aries told Kerian where his room was? "Why did you.." he tried to ask but was frozen in place and left to shocked to speak as Aries stopped beside Kerian cupping Cosmos's other cheek in her hand. Cosmos blush worsened, he didn't even realize it could get any brighter.
"Like I said I've seen the way you and him look at each other. Even if I don't like him very much. If you want to date him as well you can. Just as long as he makes you happy." Aries said her voice as comforting as ever. Worry built up in Cosmos's chest "You'd really be okay with me dating someone else at the same time as I'm dating you?" "You dated both Castor and Pollux at the same time didn't you? I knew what I was getting myself into when I got with you. And honestly I thought you and Kerian where already together when you asked me out."
Aries gave a quick glance towards Kerian and gave him a small nod. Each grabbing one of Cosmos's hands and pinning them to the wall, they both leaned down and planted a kiss on either side of his neck. Cosmos unable to cover his mouth let out a small noise making both of his partners chuckle as they released him and took a set back.
"Now about that date you had planned for Aries. Seeing as your with me now as well, you won't mind if I tag along right?" Kerian said a chipper tone in his voice. "Even if I said no you'd still show up anyway." Cosmos said as he created a portal to the restaurant. Grabbing both of his partners hands as he stepped through.
