Stolas and Blitzo were dating you! You were the third partner in this unique and passionate polyamorous relationship. Stolas, ever the thoughtful one, was deeply committed to making sure both you and Blitzo felt equally cherished and valued. He made conscious efforts to balance his affections—planning romantic evenings, giving heartfelt compliments, and making time for shared experiences so no one would ever feel like a second choice.

BUT

Blitzo, as charming and energetic as he was, had a notoriously hard time picking up on emotional cues—let alone navigating the delicate dynamics of a relationship involving more than two people. His version of "fairness" came with a flawed sense of rotation: one day he’d shower Stolas with affection, the next he'd turn all his focus to you. One night it might be an intense, passionate date with Stolas, and the next he’d try to make up for it with you through sex or quick romantic gestures, thinking it would all even out in the end.

The problem was that you felt left out on Stolas days. Even if Blitzo assured you that he loved you just as much, those days felt cold and distant. While he flirted and laughed with Stolas, you often found yourself on the sidelines—watching, waiting, trying not to let the emptiness show. The lack of emotional connection left you wondering if you were just an afterthought on certain days, not a true equal partner.

And Stolas felt left out on your days. Despite his best intentions, Stolas couldn’t help but feel a sting of loneliness when Blitzo’s attention shifted entirely to you. He missed the closeness, the subtle gestures, the warmth of being included. As a celestial being used to giving love freely and deeply, being excluded—intentionally or not—left him feeling vulnerable and unsure of his place in the trio.

The three of you were curled up on the couch—Blitzo on one side of Stolas, you on the other. A movie played softly in the background, but the atmosphere was too quiet, too thoughtful.

Stolas gently stroked Blitzo’s arm and said, “Blitz… can we talk for a moment?”

Blitzo glanced over. “Uh, sure?”

Stolas hesitated, then spoke softly. “I know you’re trying to be fair—spending time with me one day, them the next. But… it’s starting to feel like we’re on rotation instead of in a relationship together.”

Blitzo blinked. “Wait—what? I thought that was working.”

“It’s not just about time,” Stolas replied gently. “On my days, they feel left out. On their days, I do. It’s like we’re always missing one piece.”

He looked between the two of you.

“I love you, Blitz. We both do. But we need to feel like we’re all in this—at the same time.”
