You know all the usual stuff, don't read if it's illegal or you don't like sex or sex between two males offends you. All characters are purely fictional, and any likeness is coincidence. Joshua Glynn reserves all rights to this story, the characters, and the world they live in.
This story is about an 18/yo boy struggling with the gifts that he possesses, and trying to find out where he fits in a modern day society.
Joshua moved to Goose Creek, South Carolina, just outside of Charleston, due to some serious girl problems. He met the twins next door, and was feeling confused about his feelings toward them. He just recently came to terms with the strange feelings he is having for the twins. They both know about it, and are trying to come to terms with what this means for the three of them.

Joshua
Permanent! The barriers that Casey and Carrie had been holding crumbled. The shock across the bond was sudden, and matched my own. I had thought I just had lost control and need some help releasing, but a permanent bond that we could never loose. How careless could I have been? It was entirely my fault! Me and my damn hormones! It was the ultimate invasion of privacy and I had forced it on them, hadn't given them the choice! I couldn't blame them if they never wanted to see me again, but I had made sure that would never happen. They were stuck with me, whether they wanted it or not.
"It's already too late, Grandpa. The link took hold yesterday." I said blushing a bit.
Casey! Carrie! You both should come on over here. We need to discus this, and you need to be part of the discussion.
Grandpa thought through the link. "And I think this is something you'll need to let your father know about, Joshua."
"Yea, I think your right. You really think he will understand?"
"I'm sure he will. He understands that a soul mate is a natural thing, and part of who you are. God had to have a reason for making your soul mates the way he did!" Grandpa said with a twinkle in his eye. Dad came into the backyard at the same time as the twins. "Ah good, everyone take a seat, and let's talk..."
Talk we did. The next hour and half was full of blushing and embarrassment for me and the twins. Grandpa had neglected to inform me that physical, intimate contact was required to form the bond. We had just confessed to having sex with one another to my father and granddad. Just as Grandpa had predicted Dad was fully understanding with a guy being my soul mate, but he was not happy at all that we were already sexually active, or that we had already forged our bond. His main concern was that it was way too fast, that we should have waited a few more years, to enjoy our individualism. We were no longer three separate people, but now were one whole person, with three separate personalities.
There were some good things though. First, as far as Dad was concerned, we were like a married triple. Now that the cat was out of the bag, there was no reason for us not to be able to have sex. However, there were some ground rules, primarily, keeping it between the three of us. Dad didn't want to know about or feel us, just like he was sure we didn't want to know about his and mom's, or the twin's parent's sex lives. He also didn't want us doing anything without protection. The last thing any of us needed was a little josh running around.
Second, he didn't think that mom, nor the Toma's, need to know about it, until the time was right (hopefully in ten years or so). Finally, the twins would join me for training from my father and Grandpa when he was around.
After about two hours of discussion, things wrapped up. "Well I think you guys have a lot to talk about privately. I must say however, that I could not think of any better life partner then either one of you, for Josh. I have been watching you guys, and know you have good souls." Dad said, tapping his hart at that last part. He smiled and gestured to Grandpa to head in the house. They left us there to 'talk'.
I knew dad and I would continue the discussion later, and I would get a better feel for how he really felt. I sensed that although he was ok with it, it still disturbed him.
"Wow, so what did you guys think of all that?" I started.
The twins were staring at each other. "I think I can speak for both of us..." Casey said as he turned to me, "I love you, and I think we can work this out!"
"Agreed, I know this feeling is the strongest thing I have ever felt. I truly, deeply love you Josh. My concern though is I also know I love my brother and I don't want to do anything that could come between us!"
We talked for a while mostly about how we felt for each other and eventually the subject of sex came up. "Well I know I sound like the greedy one here but I love you both, and from what little I understand of this bond we have is that we, the three of us, were meant for each other. Because of that sex needs to be something between the three of us."
"Well, no offence here Carrie, but I don't want to have sex with my sister. I love her, but not in that way."
"Oh, wow the fact that even came into your thoughts disturbs me." Carrie said, with a bit of an uncomfortable look on her face.
"Look guys, I'm not suggesting that, but you have to realize that with our link, If I'm having sex with one of you I'm have sex with both of you, as you guys have already felt! Sex is not the only part of a relationship, but it is the most physical part, and we need to find a way to handle it. Look, I think I have an idea, would you guys be willing to experiment with each other a bit? Just trust me!"
The twins took a moment to stare at each other, and then they nodded back at me in unison. I could tell they were a bit unsure of my proposal, but they were going to go along with it. I looked at my watch and we had been out there talking for over two hours after dad and grandpa left.
