James is already talking excitedly when he pulls up in front of Bruce’s house, Joel sitting in the passenger’s side of his old Ford truck, watching as the final person of their trio exits out the front door, locking it up and jogging out to the curb to join them. Joel pops the door open and slides over to the middle seat, laughing softly when Bruce jumps up in, pressing a quick kiss to his cheek and reaching over to push on James’ shoulder gently. “God! It’s been so long. It’s so great to be back,” he exclaims, a smile so big his cheeks look like they might split.
Joel pulls the seat belt over himself. “Yeah, I know. Now, where are we going, James?”
James drives them to their usual place, or, had been when they weren’t split up for a year, and they park on the well used gravel, crossing the street to the public park. There’s fireflies lighting up around them as they walk, and they struggle as much as they once did to get up to the top of the playset, squeezing between bars and laughing as they do. They finally settle in the top most part, sitting back against the railing, their feet bumping against together. Bruce sat between them, hands resting in theirs, James leaning into him a little, and Joel’s head on his shoulder. “I really missed this,” Bruce admits quietly.
It’s been a year since Bruce has seen them, since he moved out of California with his parents, before coming back when his dad’s job didn’t work out there. A year of texts and video calls with terrible reception, with their dates centering around playing video games together around James’ hectic work schedule, and Joel’s classes. A whole year of talking about what they’d all do together when Bruce came back. James said get drunk, go out to a bar, party until they couldn’t stand. Joel wanted fanfare, a nice dinner, a movie, a romantic night in. Bruce, however, wanted this.
The stars are hard to see, there’s too many street lamps around, but it’s peaceful. It’s not too hot, there’s a slight breeze that ruffles Joel’s curls a little so they tickle Bruce’s cheek, and he pulls away with a small laugh. Joel huffs. “I can’t control the wind, Bruce.”
“Aw you can’t?” James chimes in, his laughter rumbling against Bruce’s arm. “I thought you could? I thought you learned that while Bruce was away?”
Joel leans over Bruce. “I thought you learned to stop being so sarcastically annoying while Bruce was away.”
He makes a kissy face. “Love you, too, babe.”
Bruce pushes them both playfully. “Both of you are ruining the moment,” he says, amusement in his voice. He gets an eye roll without the malice from Joel and a wet kiss on his cheek from James. “I love you both. Argue some other night.”
They settle back into silence, and not long after, Bruce hears James’ snoring, feels Joel’s head slip down onto his shoulder again, and squeezes their hands gently.

James and Bruce get together first, and they’re dating for a couple of months before they get drunk and James admits that he’s not opposed to polyamory and Bruce says that he’s always found Joel attractive, which starts their interest in possibly expanding their relationship
When they first start flirting with Joel he’s very confused because he had definitely told them that’s he’s ace and he’s heard them talk with the other guys enough over the years that he knows they’re both very sexual so why would they want him? And he mentions that to Adam at one point and then Bruce and James are cornering him looking very concerned explaining that they know he’s ace and they’re still interested and want to go to dinner with him (Joel leaves a doodle of Adam as Batman on his desk as a thank you)
When they first start dating it is very much Bruce/Joel and Bruce/James, because although both James and Joel were both fine with each other they’re not as close, until one night they’re both pretending to be asleep without being able to fall asleep and eventually James just gets up and is like “wanna go play mario kart in the den?” and Joel follows him out and they pretty much talk all night. Bruce finds them in the morning with Mario Kart on the tv behind them, Joel curled up on James’s chest on the couch and he snaps a photo before waking them up. They’re much more of a trio from that point on
They hit another stumbling block a month or two after they all get together, when James comes home drunk from a party and he comes over to where Joel is sitting to kiss him hello but the combination of the alcohol on his breath and his hands starting to slightly wander has Joel starting to panic and James doesn’t stop and before he knows what’s going on he’s shoving James off of him and getting the fuck out of their apartment
Joel spends the night at Adam’s that night but when James wakes up the next morning he remembers what went down and he’s shaking Bruce awake and asking where the hell is Joel is because he fucked up so bad and he’s terrified that Joel will never forgive him. When Joel finally comes back they sit down and talk about hard limits and other stuff they should have brought up months ago
They’re all super into PDA, which leads to Spoole covering his eyes and yelling “GROSS” a lot at work
Joel fills up all the counter space in their bathroom when he eventually moves in, which Bruce complains about non stop- James used to complain, but then Joel let him try some of his shampoo and James is never complaining about any of Joel’s toiletries ever againÂ
