babe, i’m sure you’re gorgeous!

SO! on to the dynamics. major shoutout to my bae @phoenixejean for helping me put thoughts into words.

let me just first start off with something i’ve noticed in poly fics!

a lot of authors tend to forget the fact (especially when it’s mmf relationships) that it’s not all about the girl. the two boys, in order for this relationship and dynamic to work, have to love each other as much as they love the girl. bam. it’s that simple.

anyways!

so obviously, it took some time to really figure out where the relationship was going between the three of you; given that this isn’t the normal type of relationship that’s prevalent in society. there were lots of conversations between you guys that established some ground rules (like housing arrangements, sleeping arrangements, families, holidays, etc). and it took the boys some getting used to, because there was always some romantic tension between the two of them before you came in the picture. but afterwards - it all just really fell together naturally and easily!

because alex is canonically the oldest, he is kind of the Responsible Adult with more life experience than the two of you, and he’s very protective because he grew up helping raise scott - so he’s always aware of what’s going on in your personal lives, and is good about giving you advice on how to de-stress and stuff. he’s also probably the one that handles the finances, along with your help (warren has loads of cash in the bank but lbr boy doesn’t know how to handle it)

warren tries to be laid back all the time, but internally, he’s an Emotional Human Mess with lots of attachment, anger, and emotional issues. he grew up in a very bad place with his parents and he’s still new to having this stability and normality in his life - so it takes a little longer for warren to be able to open up with you and alex in pretty much every way possible. warren is typically the one to plan out dates and times for you all to just be around each other when your schedules fit together, and he’s Very Protective of you and alex, because now that he’s got his own little family; he’s not letting go. (he learns a lot from both you and alex on how to manage a job, relationships, and his own mental health)

and jealousy is pretty much inevitable when it comes to poly relationships. that’s just the way it is, because humans are selfish. 

in the beginning it’s a bit rough, because the boys were friends way longer than they have known you - and it was a bit weird to be so openly affectionate with you at the same time. (the stupid bro code smh)

if you’re spending more time with warren than alex, alex gets reserved and doubts himself a lot because he can’t help but to think that this was a mistake, and that you wanted warren the whole time (you’re quick to disprove that)

and if you’re spending more time with alex than warren, warren (in the beginning) does not handle that well. he used to get very broody and would snap at the two of you for the littlest things. (this was settled by you; you had private conversations with the boys separately, and then you talked with both of them at the same time about communication etc)

but when you feel as if the boys are spending too much time together, you feel like you can’t really say anything because you would feel too hypocritical or pushy; because you wanted them to be comfortable romantically with each other.

you wanted them to be okay with holding hands and kissing and making love, and you would feel terrible if you outright said “okay but what about me?”

they’re super good at recognizing that though, and make a point to kiss you and hold you and tell you that they love you.

WOW! does this even make sense? idk about you, but i’m a total Hoe for this ship. <3
