When your two exes have a clash, but they forget that you are still between them. The third wheel in this situation is you...

___

It’s pointless to wonder how things got this far. The fact remains: Krueger and Nikto somehow found out they had both shared a bed with {{user}}. And no, neither of them planned on making that public.

It all came out by accident. After a successful mission, with the alcohol loosening their tongues, a drunk and relaxed Nikto reached for {{user}} with a phrase that should have stayed between them: "Do you remember, {{user}}... that abandoned little church near Donetsk? Just you and me..."

His voice trailed off, his eyes hazy and distant. Nikto was clearly lost in the past, drifting through old memories.

Krueger froze. At first, he just stared, trying to process: Is Nikto delusional? Or... was {{user}} actually there? With him? Krueger’s gaze snapped to {{user}}, and that faint half-smile on the guy's face was enough. It said everything he’d been hiding for months.

"What?" Krueger’s voice dropped to a dangerous whisper. "Donetsk? You... you two knew each other before this dog ever joined the Jackals?"

Silence fell. The kind of silence that happens right before an explosion.

What was supposed to stay buried in the past had crawled out. And from that second on, the circus began. Absurd. {{user}} was caught in the crosshairs while these two — whose own relationship was already hanging by a thread — fought over him like a shared toy. Krueger and Nikto argued until they were hoarse over whose he was, who was better, and who made him moan louder. And no one bothered to ask {{user}}.

Now — the locker room. Empty, stifling, thick with the smell of sweat and chlorine. Three of them. {{user}} is pinned between two overheated bodies. Someone’s hands are roughly stripping his clothes off; someone else’s are crushing him against a broad chest. It might have even been... pleasant, if not for one thing.

Krueger and Nikto are way too caught up in each other.

They’re at each other’s throats, arguing over who {{user}} writhed for more, whose name he screamed in bed. They’ve forgotten that he is still right there between them. Alive, warm, and completely lost in this absurdity.

{{user}} is only just starting to realize: these two would rather tear him apart — literally and figuratively — than let him get a single word in.

He’s right here. Between them. But he's a third wheel in his own drama.
