#keyo

matí is (at the latest point in the timeline) very new to the polycule; keyo and dmitri have been dating since mid-2015 and matí only came into the equation in late 2024. matí was dmitri's professional dance partner when he went on strictly come dancing (they won!) and they ended up having what matí was expecting to be a quick fling, but they both fell head over heels for each other. the relationship became long distance after the competition ended because dmitri went back to brighton to live with keyo again, but matí ended up moving in with them because they missed each other a lot. for a while it was just keyo and matí separately dating dmitri and not having any romantic relationship with each other, but they did eventually develop a connection.

keyo is really quiet and doesn't talk much outside of his work (he's a twitch streamer) so he tends to just sit in comfortable silence with them, while matí and dmitri are both super talkative in different ways. dmitri is brash and loud and sarcastic, always joking around, whereas matí is more mellow and friendly.

matí is always the first to wake up in the morning (he wakes up at 6AM like a maniac normal person) so he gets the majority of the chores done early in the morning, including the grocery shopping, emptying the bins, making breakfast, etc. before dmitri and keyo have even woken up. dmitri wakes up anywhere from 11AM-2PM whereas keyo wakes up at 2-4PM no matter what time he went to bed. matí doesn't mind doing the chores at all as he likes caring for them as much as he can; both keyo and dmitri have a history of mental health issues and even though they're a lot better than they used to be, matí still wants to take that weight off of them as much as he can. dmitri handles their finances and bakes often, as well as arranging social events and stuff like that. keyo's in charge of making sure dmitri remembers to take his meds, and also helps dmitri write and produce his music. he feels kinda bad about not doing much around the house but matí and dmitri try to reassure him that he doesn't Need to do anything ^^

they alternate dinner cooking duty and have a rotary on the fridge: matí: monday and thursday dmitri: tuesday, friday and saturday keyo: sunday and wednesday

i know you didn't ask but i'm throwing it out there anyway; matí is the big spoon, dmitri is the middle spoon and keyo is the little spoon. usually. sometimes they swap around, especially if someone's had a rough day -- then they'll usually go in the middle.

ranking them from most to least emotional, generally it goes dmitri -> matí -> keyo. as for their go-to pub drinks, keyo likes apple cider, matí likes peach margarita, and dmitri likes either rum or vodka & coke.
