The first ever love square

Letting myself sigh a bit I looked between the two, one hand coming up to absent mindedly rub the area where Etna had almost choked me out, that tail of hers had to be the most dangerous feature on her I swear. In any case I looked between the two and shook my head, knowing that this was far from over. No matter what Etna's possessive nature was going to clash with Abby's desire for me...I wondered briefly if there would ever be a way to settle it between those two.

Suddenly my eyebrow quirked and I turned from Etna and Abby to Bea, her face still blushing at least fifteen shades of deep crimson and her eyes starting to water with tears. "Bea," At the sound of my voice the timid Prinny jumped, her eyes instantly looking into mine with worry and fear, something I had come to expect from her as of late, "So is what Abby said true?"

Bea seemed to hyperventilate, her breath coming quickly as Abby and Etna joined my stare, each with their own emotions behind their looks. For her part Abby seemed to be the most neutral, a slightly encouraging motion made by her hands as if to tell Bea to spill it all. However, Etna was on the far opposite end of this, her mind finally registering what Abby had said in the midst of their argument and her own cheeks blushing a vibrant scarlet at the thought.

Despite the looks Bea nodded slightly, looking down at the ground as she nervously spoke, "Y-yeah...it's true dood." Instantly Bea threw her hands up, a defensive position aimed at me oddly enough, "I-It's not that I don't think you're hot Master John dood! I-It's just that...that..." Bea began to shiver in fear, her voice starting to stutter horribly as she rambled. I held up my hand stopping her with a single gesture, something that I was rather impressed with given how much of a tempest her emotions must have been.

"It's alright Bea," I said with a smile, genuinely amused by Bea's flustered reaction, "I really don't mind." "R-really dood?" Bea asked, a hopeful glint in her eye, something that I smiled and nodded too, "Yeah, nothing wrong at all." Bea looked on the verge of celebration until a sudden voice broke her mood, Etna clearing her throat reminding Bea that her secret had been exposed to EVERYONE in the room and not just a select few.

Bea slowly turned to face Etna, a nervous smile on her face as she scrunched into herself, trying to protect herself from any physical or emotional harm Etna could inflict. However, instead of an enraged Etna she merely looked embarrassed, looking away from Bea but with closed eyes and her head held high, an attempt at haughty indifference falling short with her bright red cheeks and her nervous arms holding me in a shaky grasp. "I-I suppose that is fine," Etna stated, excitement welling in Bea eyes at the words, "After all, who could resist Beauty Queen Etna!"

Bea looked ecstatic, her hands clasped with joy as Etna rounded on her quickly, "But remember! John always comes first, don't start getting as gutsy as this other...thing here!" Abby's eye twitched in annoyance but she said nothing, considering she was almost ripped in half it made sense that she had learned to shut up when necessary. Bea on the other hand nodded happily, saluting Etna with a bright smile, "No problem Master Etna dood! I knew you cared!" Etna groaned quietly, a slightly green twinge falling over her face at the implication that she cared.

However, before anything more could be said a quiet groan alerted us of another presence, the soft voice of Cammie sounding out as she yawned and stretched, "Oh man dood...what happened?" I glanced over to Etna, seeing all sickness gone from her as a sharp glint rose in her crimson iris...
