“Can you quit being so sassy?”

“Can you quit being so controlling?”

Sam groaned and collapsed backward on the bed as his boyfriends kept glaring at each other. Sure, Trend was controlling. Sure, Derek was sassy. But did they regularly have to fight about that? Or rather: Could they not fight about this while he was in the room. He didn’t care if they spent all day fighting while he was out, but when he was home too? Couldn’t they be… Never mind, they couldn’t. Glaring at both his stupid, stupid boyfriends, he grabbed Iggy and hugged the red stuffed pony close. At least someone was reliably cuddling with him. Burying his nose in the soft fluffy toy, he got more comfortable on the bed, curling up closely.

“Hey, idiots”, called Sam out irritated.

Both his boyfriends snapped their heads over to him immediately. Both were also still glaring – had been glaring at each other for the past ten minutes now. Trend’s eyebrows smoothed out when he saw the way Sam was curled together. So cute and small and soft looking.

“Yes, sweetheart? What is it?”, asked Derek, immediately sitting down next to him.

“How about you stop fighting and instead start paying attention to me?”, grumbled Sam.

“Oh, how are you this cute when pouting”, cooed Derek, kissing Sam’s cheek. “Isn’t he the cutest?”

“Absolutely”, agreed Trend, sitting down on Sam’s other side, kissing his other cheek.

Sam smiled pleased as his boyfriends snuggled up to him. He knew exactly how to make them agree on something, because there was one thing they completely agreed on. That was their love for Sam. So, usually, it worked out perfectly when he just drew their attention to himself.

“So gorgeous”, sighed Derek contently, nosing Sam’s neck. “And I just love seeing you in Trend’s clothes. Regardless how how awful his taste in fashion is, at least they are large and make you look even more endearing that you already are. Which… downright impossible.”

Sam grinned to himself at that, shaking his head a little. Trend grunted irritated, because of the dig, but he also couldn’t deny that Sam indeed was the cutest. Curled together peacefully like that, Sam slowly drifted off to sleep, content that his boyfriends had stopped fighting.

Scary OTP ask for Derek/Sam/Trend , btw what ship name do you use for them?            

Their shipname is Trenderam. ;)

Which one is more fond of scary movies/likes to watch spooky shows: Derek, for the sole purpose of annoying the living shit out of Trend and pretending to be scared so he gets to cling onto Sammy all night and hog him. Which, actually adds to the “annoying the living shit out of Trend” part. So, win-win-win for Derek. ;D

Which one gets the most excited about Halloween: Derek, for the sake of hot costumes. And don’t think for a second Sammy won’t indulge him. Oh boy. *wiggles eyebrows*

Which one would be more likely to survive the apocalypse: Sam. Hands down Sammy.

Which one would literally kill for the other: Actually apparently Trend. I forgot about that, oops.

Which one likes to scare or startle the other: Neither, really. But Derek will shamelessly pretend to scare easily so he gets to cling onto Sammy and have Sam play protector! ^o^

Which one is more likely to need comforting when they get spooked: Sam. And he can count on his boyfriends to comfort him.

Which one always puts on a brave face: Sam has been swallowing his shit for years now. He has mastered the brave face.

Which one would be more dangerous if they suddenly became violent: Oh definitely Derek, if you were to hurt his Sammy. He will fuck you up with the help of plants and the Earth itself. Dunno why the flower-powered ones are always reduced to cute gardening? They can? Literally tear open the Earth? And plants are everywhere??

Which one would be more likely to commit a crime: Trend committed a murder that I forgot. So him. Smaller crimes? Derek.

Which one believes in ghosts: All three know ghosts exist.

Which one would propose the idea of holding a seance: Neither, really.

Which one has nightmares more often: Sam. A lot at times. Depending on what’s been happening in real life and reminded him of the past.

Who said “I love you” first: Trend? Probably Trend. I can genuinely not answer this in canon-context because it has been so long since I wrote CF. I apologize.

Who would have the other’s picture as their phone background: Derek has a different background for each day of the week, because there are too many gorgeous photos of Sammy to make him pick just one. Also lockstreen. Also tablet-background. Also key-charm.

Who leaves notes written in fog on the bathroom mirror: Derek, but they’re all dirty and inappropriate. Also rather demanding.

Who buys the other cheesy gifts: Trend does. Even for Derek, though Derek rolls his eyes and acts like he doesn’t care - he actually does.

Who initiated the first kiss: Derek. He was always the most hands-on person.

Who kisses the other awake in the morning: Depends. Sammy likes to gently kiss his boyfriends awake. Derek does it with dirty intend. Trend prefers to watch them sleep until they rouse on their own accounts.

Who starts tickle fights: Sander does. The threesome gets dragged into it by Sander.

Who asks who if they can join the other in the shower: Derek. Too high sex-drive. If one of his boyfriends goes to take a shower, there is a 200% chance Derek will be right behind them. Literally.

Who surprises the other in the middle of the day at work with lunch: Sam, probably, since he’s the only solid cook between the three of them.

Who was nervous and shy on the first date: Sam, for both of those. He is still not very good with the romance stuff.

Who kills/takes out the spiders: Trend is terrified of spiders. Athena-thing. And Derek, as a son of Demeter, really doesn’t mind insects and the likes at all - they’re very natural out in the garden. Derek is very smug every time he takes out a spider. Sam watches with fond exasperation.

13. What do they do for fun? Do they have a favorite activity or do they like to switch things up?

I will inform you that Derek is glaring quite viciously at you for removing sex from the options. It is his favorite pastime.

With their different interests, it’s quite hard for them to find common grounds, actually. Trend prefers his peace and quiet to read a book or play chess, Derek loves his gardening, Sammy his cooking. They compromise, usually.

Derek knows how to play chess. Most of the time they do turn it into a bit of a bet of who gets Sam that night. Sam thinks they’re both ridiculous.

Gardening, surprisingly enough, is the one they can best compromise on. It’s calm and peaceful so it suits Trend and it has the routine to it which is what Sam appreciates about cooking. The three of them have the most beautiful garden in all of New Athens.

Occasionally, they also go for a ride with their pegasi, though Trend would rather not.

28. What are their vacations like?

Once again, I will be forced to inform you that Derek is glaring at you in a way that should make you grateful that looks can’t kill. Their vacations are 50% sex.

Sadly, they never really get a couple’s retreat kinda thing.

Someone is always tagging along. May it be Sara, who thinks she needs more bonding time with her big brother and then also takes her boyfriend Marshall with her.

Or Sander and Donny, who have become increasingly more and more attached to the threesome.

And, of course, since most of their vacations do take place at the old Raser Manor, there are the chances of running into any number of Rasers there.

What did they get each other for Christmas?: Sex-toys. Derek got them sex-toys. Trend is Not Impressed and Sammy is highly flustered. Trend knitted them matching sweaters (oh yes, Trend knows how to knit). They are super adorable and Sammy loves them and Derek secretly loves them. Sam got Trend a rare, old book - thanks to uncle Liam and uncle Alabaster - and he got Derek a magical, rare flower that he obtained with the help of Phyl and Donny (Phyl did not enjoy the quest).

Christmas morning as a couple?: Seeex. Lazy, sweet cuddling? Hah. Sam woke Trend up with a Christmas-blowjob and when Derek woke up to that sight, he took advantage of Sammy’s ass pointing his way and gave Sam a Christmas-rimjob.

Where did they celebrate? (Whose family were they with/did their families come over to their place?): At the Raser estate in England, with the whole family. It was a little tricky, sneaking around grandpa who just thought “those two lads are good friends of my grandson’s”, but… Jolene and Malene helped give them alibis, because they’re awesome like that. Liam and Alabaster also came, of course. It was a bit overwhelming for Derek and Trend - Sam’s grandpa, mom, uncle(s) and aunt as well as his cousins - but it was also beautiful, because… they haven’t had a Christmas with a proper family in years.

Who decorated? And how much?: Oh, Jolene and Malene went so overboard that Sam was downright embarrassed when he showed his boyfriends around, because there was just sooo much Christmas everywhere

Who cooked dinner?: Jolene, Malene and Sam cooked, while Derek was engaged in a drinking contest with Selene (Sam is slightly terrified by how well Derek and his cousin are getting along) and Trend was engaged in conversation with Liam and Alabaster.

Who baked the cookies?: That one, Sammy did on his own. He brought them along to the Christmas dinner… or, well, he brought what was left after Derek followed the scent of freshly baked cookies and used Trend as a distraction so he could steal said cookies…

“It wasn’t that bad. Please stop exaggerating, sweetheart.”

Derek heaved a sigh and rolled his eyes as his fingers caught Sam’s wrist. But oh, that boy’s eyes were ablaze with the fire of war. Sam looked ready to tear down entire cities.

Trend opened his mouth to intervene, though he knew the stubbornness of both his lovers was unbeaten so he wasn’t entirely sure how he could intervene.

Sam held up a hand to signal for Trend to shut the fuck up before he even had the chance to say something. The next moment, the son of Ares was walking over to the guy at the other end of the bar, some fairly handsome son of Dionysus. Sam’s glare alone was enough to make the guy shut up and freeze, knowing that the wrath of Ares was a fierce and deadly one.

Sam pushed the guy against the wall, pinning him by the throat. “Derek told me what you did, and all I’m gonna do is tell you to stay away.” Sam leaned in, his breath making the guy shudder. “I want to do entirely different things, but Derek doesn’t want me to. So I’ll just have you know that if you ever grope anyone without their concent again, I will break every single bone in your hand. But if you are stupid enough to try and do so with my boyfriend, I’ll do far worse. Am I understood, bag of dicks?”

The guy nodded jerkily and Sam let go of him. After giving him another harsh push that knocked the wind out of him. Sam was still glaring as he returned to his boyfriends. He very decidedly sat down with his legs thrown over Derek’s, a possessive arm around the smaller male’s shoulders and his face buried in Derek’s neck.

Derek heaved a sigh and exchanged a meaningful look with Trend. All Trend did was scoot closer to caress Sam’s back soothingly.

Derek was used to it; drunk horny assholes groping him in passing and laughing at it. He did have a reputation, after all, and many thought they had a right to catch in on that. He didn’t quite care about it.

Sam did. With Sam’s own history, the son of Ares took those kind of things far more serious than Derek did and the mere thought of someone touching those he loved without their consent made Sam furious.

“Better, love?”, asked Trend gently. “You can tuck our flower boy away for safekeeping for the night, if you’d like?”

Derek was short of protesting - he did not appreciate being damsel-in-distress-ed by them - but then the implied meaning of going back home to their shared bed and with a possessive, adrenaline fueled Sammy caught up with him.

(YES. I’m still doing this. I really love this drabble-thing. It’s a great exercise for me in keeping things short, so please, feel free to keep them coming, guys!)

“Do you think just because my feet don’t touch the bottom of the pool I need a floatie?”

Derek was not impressed with his boyfriend. Trend had handed him a doughnut shaped and painted floatie. Derek’s size was a bit of a constant jibe between them; it was nothing new. It had been ever since they had first started dating, before the breakup. Derek was aware he was short, but this one was a low blow from Trend. He glowered.

Trend was completely serious as he shook his head and pointed toward the pool. “I figured I could improve the view for myself.”

Trend was sitting on a lounger, reading a book. And in front of him, in the pool where he had just pointed, was Sam, hanging in a similar floatie in a way that… oh. Sam was sticking out of the floatie so far that it was tilted and thus Sam’s ass was sticking out of the other side of the floatie, pointing into Trend’s direction.

“…You always act like such a sophisticated man, Austin, but at your core, you’re as much of a horn-dog as I am”, stated Derek solemnly.

26. What would be their theme song? 

…This was surprisingly more easy than expected. I mean holy shit, I can just imagine Derek singing it with the snarkiest expression, having Sam and Trend on either side of him. It speaks to so many aspects of their personalities and their relationship.
