Chapter 9: Love for All

Ron and the girls were stunned to be sure, if for no other reason than who these two clamed to be. "Hold on, hold on," Ron said with a slight wave of his hands, "You're saying you're Eros, as in Cupid? And he's Puk from a 'Midsummer's Night Dream'?"

"Why does everyone only ever remember me from that stupid play?" Groaned Puk while Eros giggled.

"Wow Ronnie I'm impressed!" Lonnie said with a bright smile, "You've really gotten a head on your studies!" Ron blushed before getting back on track.

"A-Any way... I'm sorry but if you want us to take anything you've said seriously you're going to have to give us something to go on. No offence."

"None taken," Puk said as he tried to pull away again, only to have it pulled again, "if this guy would just LET ME GO!" As he finished some of his anger escaped in the form of five eyes opening in various places on his face. While the teens were shocked Eros only tightened his grip with a soft pink aura coating his hand. "OW! Damn it man for the last time you're going to rip my ear off and those freaking things are hard to regrow!"

"If I let you go are you going to try to make a run for it again?" Eros asked with a raised eyebrow.

"It would be kinda pointless now wouldn't it?" Puk asked sarcastically, Eros only gave him a look, "alright fine I'll behave." With is ear now free, though still in a great deal of pain, he stood back up and said, "It's kinda a moot point though, I keep trying to tell you-"

"I don't want to hear it Puk," Eros interrupted, "You took my arrows, without my permission mine you, and have meddled with the lives of these mortals!" Puk only rolled his eyes as he motioned Eros forward.

Clearing his throat, Eros walked forward, "Now then, back to business. I'm afraid that my friend here has seen fit to set up this little... affair."

"Hey wait, I recognize you," Connie said as she pointed to the multicolor haired man in the headlock, "You're that guy that freaked out at the club that night!"

"That was bull crap!" Puk said indignantly in spite of the head lock, "One of you two should have Won! but NOOOO, they had to go for th-" Eros finally just cut him off by covering his mouth, having had enough for the time being.

"Why exactly would Puk care about the love life of mortals?" Ron asked, surprisingly being the only one of the three that were actually functioning mentally. Ron always was one to more easily roll with the punches.

Puk was about to say his peace but his mouth was quickly covered by Eros. "Don't even think about it." He said with a look, "Please don't be mistaken, Puk more than likely had good intentions, though it baffles me why he would attempt to help you by setting you both up with the same man. It was a foolish move by someone who is simply inexperience in the management of love."

"What exactly does that mean?" Connie asked in confusion.

"Yeah I wanted to ask about that," Lonnie said as she held her hand under her chin, "You're a love god, THE love god in the Greek pantheon, how exactly did Puk of all peo- er deities get a hold of one of your arrows, shouldn't you be running around the world with them at all times?"

Eros gave a small laugh as he said, "Well yes and no... you see my existence came to be because my mother felt sorrow for the woman of the time, a time in which women were more property than anything else. They were bought or stolen and very few and far between did people marry for love and not lust, be it for body or power.

"It was my place in the world to find and help as many as I could, and if I do say so myself it did a good job." While Eros was explaining Puk was standing behind him, miming him in a dramatic fashion, and making the teens giggle. Eros gave an annoyed look before quickly bringing his fist up and upper cutting Puk.

"As I was saying, my existence was a necessity in that time but as the time's changed so too did my relevance. More natural love was able to blossom so I had no reason to interfere. Puk took advantage of this by sneaking in and grabbing four of my arrows. But fear not mortals, I will undo this at once." Eros finished as he held out his hand.

A bright pink aura coated his palm as he made a come motion, with nothing happening. Eros blinked with a stunned expression before focusing and trying again with the same result. "Um... Are you okay?" Ron asked with uncertainty.

After one more attempt Eros turned to Puk who had a smug look with his hands on his hip. "Hi, how you doing?" Puk asked, the arrogant snark so thick that it was almost tangible. When Eros found that he had no words to say Puk laughed as he held up four arrows, Eros' arrows. "If you would have let me explain any of the hundred and fifty five thousand times I tried to tell you, I had every intention of matching these lovely young ladies with equally lovely young men but they beat me to the punch, or rather he did."

Eros was stunned before a smile suddenly burst from him as he began to laugh, long and hard. "Only you could do this!" he laughed as he lightly punched Puk in the head, "You go to help a few mortals, for the first time in how many centuries, and you find two that fall head over heels for the same man!"

While the two immortals were laughing their heads off, literally in Puk's case, Ron and the girls found themselves greatly confused. "I have no idea what's going on..." Ron said with a blink before turning to the girls, "Do you have any ideas?" Both girls just shrugged their shoulders.

Connie suddenly burst into a wide smile as a thought crossed mind, Lonnie followed suit a moment later after seeing her sister's and realizing the same thing. Ron had no time to respond as both girls tackled the boy to the ground and began to shower him in kisses.

"Ronnie!" Lonnie said in between kisses, "Do you understand what they were saying?!"

"Our love is REAL!" Connie shouted in joy, planting several kisses on his neck in the process, "We fell for you without a love god's help!" Eros was about to interject when Puk grabbed him and shook his head.

Ron's brain was in overload as the pressure from a moment ago suddenly came rushing back. He could feel himself becoming light headed as a hundred different thoughts flooded his mind, all of the them of the two beautiful women that he now knew loved him.

Soon enough Puk, who was becoming annoyed but could also see Ron was about to have a panic attack, smacked the poor boy upside his head. "Calm down boy!" he said with the tone of a drill sergeant, "You have two ladies that need to talk to you and you have no time to freak out about it." Turning Ron towards the obviously worried girls Puk said with all the authority he had in him, "Talk."

Ron rubbed the back of his head for a moment before locking eyes with the girls again, and just like before locking up with his mind going a mile a minute. Connie and Lonnie both sighed as they turned to Puk and sighed. "Please don't push him like that Mr. Puk." Lonnie said with a down trotten expression.

"We want Ron to answer when he has really thought about-"

"I LOVE YOU BOTH!" Ron suddenly shouted, causing everyone to jump slightly, "I think Lonnie is the smartest woman I've ever known and are no doubt going to usher in an age of brilliance by teaching the next generation. Connie has a heart of gold and has a voice of an angel. You both are drop dead gorgeous, sweet as candy and I just couldn't see my life with only one of you."

Tears began to fall from all the teens eyes as Ron bowed his head in same, "I know it's selfish, I know that by saying this I may have just ruined what ever we had but it's the truth. I can't bring myself to choose between the two of you and break either your hearts and loose you. I just can't live with only one of you!"

"Oh you mortals and your ridiculous 'Monogamous' issues," Puk laughed with a cocky smile, dodging as Eros took a swing at him. "What? You of all people know that this issue is absolutely ridiculous! In the days of old no one would have even batted an eye at a man having more than one wife or even sisters at that."

"Be that as it may," Eros said as he crossed his arms, "these are not the olden days. Polygamy is an out dated concept, in this day and age a person can only marry one other."

Puk gave a shrug as he said, "So don't marry." Turning to the stunned teens he asked, "Ron has already said that he doesn't think he could live without either of you in his life, is the same true for the both of you? Can you live without Ron or your sister?"

Both girls were stunned, this particular line of thought had never once crossed their mind. What if Ron had chosen one over the other? There was no way that Connie or Lonnie could stand to loose the closest one's in their life, and their hearts just wouldn't be able to take the constant heartbreak of seeing Ron everyday but not being able to hold him. "No... we can't..." they said simultaneously.

"Thought so," Puk said with a smile, "So really the solution is simple, just love one another." For his deeply insightful observations all Puk got was blank stares. "WHAT?!" he snapped in irritation, "Ron's all of what, 17? It'll bee YEARS before he even thinks of marriage, and even if he can't marry them both he could just as easily give them symbolic rings."

"What about our families?" Ron asked in a bit of worry in his voice, "It's important to my parents that I carry on the Stoppable name, something I doubt can do if I'm not married. Besides My mom would wring my neck if she thought I was trying to string along two women. And all that is before what Mr. Rockwaller would say, do or think."

"Daddy would be a bit harsh..." Lonnie agreed, with Connie nodding.

"Fuck em..." Puk said as he finally dropped all the formality's, "Changing your name isn't all that hard and if your families can't except that you three are in love it's too bad for them."

Eros sighed as he crossed his arms, "A bit more crass than I'd like but over all he isn't wrong. If you all really want to love one another then this is the backlash that you have to be willing to put up with."

Ron smiled as he looked down. "This is your last chance girls," he said with a somewhat bitter laugh, "You can find someone way better than me... Smarter, better looking-" Ron was cut off by both girls kissing him again, "I guess you're stuck with me..." he finished with a bright blush.

The following Monday at Middleton found Ron and Puk, who was once again in his Robin form, walking down the hallway. "Not that I don't enjoy your company but why are you still hanging around the school?"

"High school is a sweet pit of absolute chaos," Puk said as he smacked his a few times, "delicious! Besides, I still have a few loose ends to tie up. Mostly the football team and a few miscreants that are running around."

"I have so many questions that I just don't want the answers to..." Ron said with a raised eyebrow as he turned the corner and was immediately grabbed and pinned to the lockers by Bonnie. Over her shoulder Ron glanced at Puk, who was doubled over in silent laugher. "Uh... Bonnie?..."

"Is it true?" she hissed, her grip tightening slightly when Ron didn't answer, "You and my sisters... Is. It. True?" Ron gulped lightly as he nodded. The glare in Bonnie's eyes, the burning fire that could melt solid steel, somewhat intensified to the point that he left like his bones were becoming kindling. "... You had better not hurt them... in any way. Mom and dad are already besides themselves and dad wants a word with you personally but if you hurt them, I will hunt you down and you will wish you were taken out by some freaky mutant or wannabe world conqueror." With that she slammed him into the locker and stormed off.

"Thanks for the help dude," Ron said as he rubbed the back of his head. Puk just laughed as he walked away. Ron sighed with a smile as he walked on, there was no way that this wasn't going to find it's way around the school, hell he could already see a few jealous looks from some guys. Ron would never hurt the girls, he loved them with all his heart.

Ron knew very well what Mr. Rockwaller would want to "Talk" about, and he was fully ready to have his ass handed to him, but he was going to make sure that he wasn't going to do something stupid to his girls. Ron would take his beating but he would be damned if they would be kicked out. It wasn't going to be easy, not by a long shot, but he was going to make it work... come hell or high water.
