I took a deep breath, "Polly, can I talk to you about something, please?" I asked looking at him from my position on the sofa in the agency. He came and sat beside me, "Of course, (Y/n), but wouldn't Mr Wright be the person to talk to?"


"I would talk to Daddy about it. In fact, I'll need to at some point, but I need your advice on how to tell him. Polly, do you know where Daddy's views on the LGBT+ community lie?"


He was a bit shocked at this, "(Y/n), I don't know what Mr Wright thinks, but if you want to tell him something to do with it, then just tell him. I'm sure he'll be fine with whatever sexuality you are. Don't worry about it."


I smiled, "Okay! I trust you, Polly. I'll tell him when he and Trucy get back!"


"That sounds like a good idea, (Y/n)." I smiled and hugged him, "Thanks, Polly! Maybe you can be let off from being our assistant in the next show."


----------------------


"Daddy, I need to tell you something."


"What do you need, (Y/n)?" He asked, turning to me. I took a deep breath, "Daddy, I'm bisexual." His eyes widened before he brought me into a hug, but before he could say anything else, Athena interrupted him, "Does that mean I have a chance, (Y/n)?!" I turned to her, "What do you mean, Thena?" Her face turned red, "Nothing! Just that I may have had a crush on you for ages." She whispered the last sentence, although I still heard it. I detangled myself from Daddy's hug and walked up to her. I grabbed her tie and pulled her towards me, kissing her directly on the lips. I soon let her go, "You've always had a chance, Thena. I love you."


She pounced on me, making me fall back onto the sofa, "I love you too, (Y/n)!"


-----------------------------------------


"Athena, please! We need an assistant for tonight and Polly's not feeling well! Please, please please!"


She gulped at Trucy's question and she looked to me, "Trucy's right, Thena. Please?" I stood up from my position on the sofa and walked up to her. I nipped her neck, "Please?" Her face was bright red when I pulled away and she sighed, "Okay, I'll help you two." Trucy piped up happily and ran up to Athena and hugged her, "Yay!" I smiled and hugged her too, "Thank you, Thena." Trucy let go of her and grabbed our hands, dragging us out of the agency and towards the Penrose Theatre, where we were doing our show.


----------------------- (LIME WARNING)


We rehearsed for the whole afternoon, the show starting at seven. It was about half-past 5 when we decided to call it, and the minute that Trucy and I had finished resetting everything for the show, I grabbed Athena's hand and dragged her backstage and to the dressing room I was sharing with Trucy for the show. I shut and locked the door behind us, before pushing her up against the wall. She was confused, but before she could ask what I was doing, I had grabbed the broach bit of the cape I had made for her for when she helped Trucy and me out with a show, and pulled her into me, kissing her. Her eyes widened but she kissed me back, her arms wrapping around my waist. I wrapped mine around her neck, pulling her closer to me before licking her bottom lip, asking for entrance into her mouth. Widget turned yellow in shock as she gasped, allowing me entrance, to which I took the opportunity.


While we were making out, she knocked my hat off of my head and I'd rid her of the cape. She smirked into the kiss and moved her arms down, grabbing my ass, making me squeal out in surprise and releasing a moan. In response, I removed one arm from around her neck and grabbed her breast, making her moan out and break the kiss, Widget voicing her thoughts, "Is that how you want to play it, (Y/n)?" but she quickly retaliated by kissing my neck, making me scream out in pleasure as she'd found my sweet spot immediately.


We were so caught up in the moment that we didn't hear the knocking on the door until we heard Trucy's voice, "(Y/n)! Athena! Hurry up! We're starting in like 2 minutes! Wait, why's the door locked?" We panicked for a moment, "Give us a minute, Truce!" We quickly straightened ourselves up before I unlocked the door, to see Trucy looking ready to barge it down, "Oh! You're okay! I heard screaming and I was getting worried! I thought someone was attacking you!" My face flushed red, Oh, Trucy, you're so innocent. Trucy looked closer at the two of us before blinking, "Wait, why are you wearing Athena's cape and why is she wearing your hat?" I squeaked and took Athena's cape off, chucking it at her as I grabbed my hat off of her head, "No idea what you're talking about, Trucy. Now, time for the show!"


---------------------


The next day I was snuggled into Athena on one of the Agency sofas watching her look over a case file, while I was playing with her ribbon that was keeping her hair up as a cat would. It was Polly's voice that brought me from my cat-like state, "You two need to be more careful."


"What do you mean, Polly?" I asked, continuing to play with Thena's ribbon.


"I mean what went on before the show last night. When you were backstage. Trucy told me what she heard when she went to get you for the show." My face turned bright red and I heard the sound of papers falling. I looked to Athena to see that she'd dropped the papers she'd been reading.


"How do you know about that?"


"Well..."


FLASHBACK - Apollo's POV, after the show


I was with Mr Wright waiting for (Y/n), Trucy and Athena to come out after the show. Thankfully the two aspiring magicians had persuaded Athena to help them, whether it was because Athena and (Y/n) were dating or whether they'd asked her because I'd been feeling ill that day, I wasn't sure, but I was glad they hadn't asked me as it meant I wasn't the one they were pretending to chop in half or cut up for once.


Trucy was the first to appear, bounding up to us, "Daddy! Polly!"


"Heya, Trucy. Where are (Y/n) and Athena? Are they on their way?"


"They were-huh? Where did they go? They were right behind me a moment ago," Trucy replied, confused, "They should be out in a few minutes. Probably got distracted with something." She then perked up, "Polly, can I talk to you about something?"


"Sure, Truce, what do you need?" She grabbed my hand and dragged me off somewhere away from Mr Wright. When she let my hand go, she turned to me, "Polly, when I went to get (Y/n) and Athena for the show. I heard quiet screaming and strange sounds coming from inside. The door was locked too. Polly do you know what was happening?" Oh...... I realised what Trucy meant, making my nose bleed a bit, alerting Trucy, "Polly! Why is your nose bleeding?!" I quickly wiped it away, "I'm fine, Trucy. Also, I know what you are talking about with (Y/n) and Athena, but it's not something you need to know about yet, okay?"


"Okay, Polly."


Flashback Over - Your POV


"-And that's how I know, (Y/n)," Polly finished off. By this time, both mine and Athena's faces were bright red at the fact that not only did Trucy catch us, but the fact that Apollo now knew what had happened too.
