Four of Us - McLennStarrison (Poly Beatles)

Taboo Feelings (Part 4)

"You got a lot of explaining to do." John smirked, crossing his arms. "You two duck out to have a little snog behind our backs?"

"John!" Paul's face filled up with red, causing him to laugh. "No, but we do want to talk about something!"

George raised an eyebrow. "You two alright? We were really worried when you left without saying anything."

Ringo nodded and smiled. "Everything's okay, Georgie. We were just working through some things we had going on and need to talk to you about." He paused, searching for the right words. "I love you very much, right? And I'd never do anything to hurt you intentionally. The reason why I've been losing sleep lately is -"

"WE LOVE YOU!" Paul shouted. "There. Done."

"You love me?" The youngest member blinked. "But -"

John cleared his throat. "Question, what the fuck?" His expression turned so furious the other three stepped back so they wouldn't be caught in the crossfire. "Paul -"

"Wait!" Ringo quickly shielded him in case his wrath got out of hand. "John, I love you too. We're still not sure how to deal with all of this, but we wanted to talk to you both about having a four-way relationship so everyone is happy. Be mad at me too if you're going to be mad at him, since I'm just as involved as he is. Got it?"

George, on the other hand, didn't look angry. He looked relieved. "I'm not alone, then? I can love John?"

"Me?" John whipped his head around. "Why me?"

"You let me join your band and I looked up to you and Paul." He smiled shyly and let Paul touch his shoulder. "And he's the one who made me realize I'm queer in the first place."

Ringo smiled back happily. "Well, John? What do you think?"

John pulled his lower lip between his teeth and bit down hard enough to probably draw blood. He looked at each of them several times with an unreadable expression as he seemed to study his friends and boyfriend carefully. "Well shit. I guess you make a compelling argument."

"That was an argument?" He shook his head.

"Maybe." He closed his eyes, thinking hard for a few minutes. Then he finally opened them. "Yes."
