Can you talk more about the dinner scene and the tags you have in that post?

Hell yes I can! I love that scene so much. (post in question: https://at.tumblr.com/chaotictarlos/704992524491800576/9pael9up6i14) I do have to apologize in advance because I'm about to ramble a lot and probably say a lot that you don't care about but I have a lot of thoughts about this episode.

So I firmly believe this episode and scene are vital in Tarlos' growth as a couple. It was a needed scene and even more of a needed moment between them.

TK comes in, right, and he's all like "hi baby" and answers Carlos' question about how the meeting was and while we as viewers can see that there is definitely something off about Carlos, TK doesn't see it yet. Not until he goes to kiss Carlos on the cheek and Carlos doesn't react and when TK says that what he's made smells amazing, Carlos says it's just chicken.

But it's the way he says it. I don't know about you but I've used that tone. It's my "I'm upset right now and I want you to ask but I also don't want to talk to you because I'm upset at you" kind of tone. It's the type of tone that, imo, a person uses when they're fed up and just done with a situation.

It's this moment that TK realizes, oh something is wrong. Here's a cute little gif just because. You can see TK realizing that Carlos is not okay. Like he barely says a word to TK and doesn't offer him food and we all know that acts of service is part of Carlos' love language. He's always feeding TK and his friends. It's what he does.

And TK is like, okay, need to figure out what's going on here.

I really love this moment, TK leaning against the doorframe and you can see him thinking things through and giving Carlos the space to talk first, to bring up what's bothering him so that TK can do something to fix it.

(side note for a moment for how from the time he sits down to the end of this scene Carlos' looks so small. He's not a small guy but here we see himself physically shrink into himself, making himself smaller and try not to take up so much space. It's like he's hoping that if he takes up less space than he can be what TK needs him to be, what he wants TK to need him to be.)

And then Carlos, our passive-aggressive king, goes "oh should I'm sorry, should I have been cooking for two? I figured by the time it was 8 o'clock you and Coop stooped for omelets."

And there it is, the one thing TK needed to make the situation click.

Carlos is holding onto a lot. We know that he's an anxious person, and as a fellow anxious person, I feel for him so much in this scene. We don't get to see Carlos' anxiety a lot. He's internalized everything about the situation with TK and has tried so hard to find ways to help because that's what he does. That's what I would do. He sees a situation, he sees the love of his life hurting and having to navigate being back to square one and having to regain his years of sobriety and Carlos so badly wants to help.

That's why he stays up and reads articles and tries to find solutions. It what he does. He takes care of people he loves. And in this case he can't do anything and it kills him.

It makes him feel so utterly hopeless. And I'm saying that as someone who has been in situations where all I've wanted to do is help those I care about and I couldn't. I felt useless.

And right now, Carlos feels useless but he doesn't know how to say that.

So it manifests in passive-aggressive ways, such as not making TK dinner.

And even though he's being passive-aggressive, he's still so willing to make TK something if TK says that he hasn't ate. Because at least it would mean that TK needed him for something.

And just, the way TK gives him space, gives him a chance to bring up what's wrong because they both know something is wrong just really gets to me. He doesn't push right away, allows Carlos the room to bring it up himself if he needs to.

And when he doesn't, TK asks him.

And Carlos does what I always do, what everyone always does:

"Is something wrong?"

"No"

Because of course, he's not going to outright admit to something being wrong. That would be too logical.

And then slipping in that he knows that TK called Cooper at three am and that is one of the roots of Carlos' problem and why he's upset. In TK needing someone, instead of rolling over and waking Carlos up, he reached out to someone else.

And Carlos can't understand why he did that. Because for Carlos, he would turn to TK if he needed someone in the middle of the night. It makes sense to Carlos to reach for TK, because they're partners so he can't wrap his mind around why.

And the way this entire scene is handled and how TK handles it, just shows so much growth, imo.

And then TK does this little nod, because now he's caught up and he knows somewhat what's going on. I also need to point out that, faced with this confrontation he doesn't run, he doesn't try to deflect but stays and talks to Carlos.

I like how TK asks if Carlos is mad at him for calling his sponsor because he's trying to narrow things down. And of course, Carlos isn't mad at him for that, he never would be mad at TK for calling his sponsor when he needs to. What Carlos is upset about is that he wasn't TK's first choice. And he can't understand that.

It seems so simple, even though it's not.

And Carlos is sitting there, fighting with his anxiety, fighting with his doubts, fighting these internal battles that he hasn't let TK in on because he doesn't want to burden TK with them. (of course, I could be projecting my own anxiety struggles with this but it fits)

The line that gets me every single time in this scene is "just trying to figure out what my place is"

Because he doesn't know. His love language is acts of service and he's being denied being able to do that - not intentionally, of course - so he doesn't know what to do. He doesn't know where he fits into TK's life in this moment. If he can't help TK than what's his point? What role is he supposed to play?

And god damn, I feel that so fucking much. I feel for Carlos. I feel the insecurity he feels here. I feel the anxiety. The hurt that he feels. They're all such valid feelings too! Like he's valid for where he's at and what he's feeling. He's human. He's allowed to be upset. He's in a situation that he has no experience with and it's upsetting.

The love of his life was just forced to overdose, to break his sobriety and Carlos so badly wants to fix it but he can't and he's not sure what he can do. He hasn't been told his place in this. He just wants to help and he can't and he feels useless.

"just trying to figure out what my place is" is a plea for TK to tell him what he needs. It's Carlos, being vulnerable, asking TK what he wants from him.

And when TK tells Carlos he wasn't the one he needed to talk to, Carlos takes that personally because he doesn't understand. He thinks it's because he's not enough for TK. That he can't provide for him all the ways that Carlos thinks he's supposed to.

We romanticize this notion that our significant others are supposed to be the be-all, end-all for us. We're supposed to turn to them for everything. We're supposed to help them through their darkest times and have them help us through ours. It's beaten into our brains from the time that we are kids that our SO's are the perfect other half, that "you don't need anyone else other than your partner" and that couldn't be more wrong. Our support system can not and should not begin and end with our significant others.

And knowing that Carlos' parents are traditional, he probably learned that too.

When TK says that, it's like conformation to Carlos that TK doesn't need him and that's not what TK is saying at all.

And then, we have TK telling Carlos that Cooper's straight and I've seen people give shit about that line but I think it's valid.

TK's been cheated on and you bet your ass that's now a fear of his and with Carlos being so upset that TK is reaching out to another man in the middle of the night, spending time with him - and while he has valid reasons and he's not sneaking around or trying to do anything - TK can see that it might not look that way and even though Carlos hasn't said he's worried that TK is cheating, TK wants to reassure him that he's not.

And I think that's very valid of TK. He recognizes it before it's even an issue because it shouldn't be an issue and he wants Carlos to know that he doesn't have to worry about TK getting feelings for his sponsor.

And I think it's also a subtle way of TK telling Carlos "you're not being replaced."

Also this:

"I don't think you're cheating with the guy TK."

"Not physically."

Because we've all heard of emotional cheating. I know this part isn't a favorite of people's and I've seen a lot of people have problems with it but it was needed. They needed to have this bit of a conversation for both their sakes. Carlos needed that reassurance even if he acts like he didn't. I don't think at any point Carlos thought TK was cheating, but it's still a thought that sometimes crosses the minds of even the most logical individuals.

"It feels like he's getting getting pieces of you that I don't."

"You don't want those pieces."

"I do. I want all of it."

"You have all of me, Carlos."

I keep saying it, I know, but this exchange, it's just so much. Carlos feels so much and it's so fucking beautiful. TK knows what he needs, he knows that those darker pieces of himself aren't pretty, they aren't good and they aren't easy to deal with and he doesn't want to burden Carlos with them. They're hard pieces.

But he's trying to tell Carlos that he gets the pieces that matter. He doesn't have to have the dark parts, the parts that ache for a fix, the parts that make him shake and itch for another high. Carlos doesn't have to have those parts because they'll just worry him. TK does give Carlos all of him, and him not getting the pieces where TK is desperate for a fix isn't bad.

Because TK isn't treating Carlos like his sponsor or therapist. That's not Carlos role in his life. Carlos isn't his sponsor and he isn't his therapist. TK has people who fill that role.

And then, the heartbreaking line of Carlos saying "I'm not enough, you mean."

In this one case, he's not and I love that TK affirms that and then explains why. He's not saying that Carlos isn't enough for him to be mean or to hurt Carlos, he's saying it to try and get Carlos to understand that sometimes TK needs people that has been in that situation. That knows what it's like to be high, to be addicted to drugs, to spend their time trying to find the next fix.

It's not bad that Carlos can't fit that role.

And, I don't know, they just do it so beautifully here. TK gets riled up, he gets a little emotional and his voice isn't perfectly calm but he's also upset but not trying to show it. It's here that he, imo, tries to get Carlos to see that this entire situation isn't about Carlos.

TK's addiction isn't about Carlos. It's not something that Carlos can fix and TK needs Carlos to understand that and I think the way TK explains it here is so right on. It's kind, but firm. It's an explanation that does tell Carlos that no, he's not enough but that's okay because TK has people to help him with that.

TK has people that help him get home because he wants to come home to Carlos.

"And if that means sometimes I'm late getting home just know it's only so I will get home, Carlos"

That line will always be a favorite of mine. I think it sums it all up so perfectly. He's doing it all - calling his sponsor, staying out late at meetings, taking extra time with Cooper - so that he will make it home to Carlos, the one he loves and wants to spend his life with.

TK can't and doesn't want to burden Carlos with all of that dark because he knows how impactful it can be on a relationship. It's not Carlos' job to shoulder that burden and he shouldn't have to. He might think he has to, but he doesn't, and TK knows that.

That line just sums it up so well, and even though Carlos doesn't respond, it's obvious that he gets it. He gets it even more when he comes home and TK is there, hurting and shutting down, and Carlos' experiences first hand that TK needs more.

Coming back to my original line, I know I've said a lot and if you've read this far thank you, but this was vital to their relationship. It showed growth in both characters. It showed TK not running, but sitting down and having a needed discussion. It showed Carlos being vulnerable, letting TK in, letting his walls down.

It's truly a beautiful scene that I think says so much about their relationship.

It speaks a lot about where they were and where they're at. It's amazing.

This touch, this kiss, the way TK smooths his hand down the back of Carlos' head was such a simple, subtle way to say "It's okay, we're okay, I love you and it's going to be okay."

I really wish we had see the conversation they have after this - because I fully believe they have one and maybe I'll write it - because I don't think they're ones to go to bed upset or angry.

ada!!! i was thinking about your post with poems you think the lone star characters would love, and for nice ask week i was wondering if you have any others you’d add to that list? or if there’s any you really love that you think capture certain characters/relationships on the show? always love to see your recs :’) <3 —maddie/reyesstrand

Maddie!! I love this question so much so thank you for asking it!! <3

I actually planned to make a part two, especially since it's National Poetry Month, but it got a bit away from me so I'm taking this opportunity to just ramble (godspeed to whoever reads this):

Wild Geese by Mary Oliver is one of the most Carlos-coded poems you'll ever have the pleasure of reading. Or maybe it's not, but after using it as basically a thesis for tender eyes that shine, I've decided that it was written for him. Especially:

You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.

Hello?? That's Carlos Tomás Reyes in his purest form!

Oh TK, our hopeless romantic self deprecating boy. I think I'm going to give him Molly Brodak by Molly Brodak, one of my favorite poems that makes me want to burst into tears each and every time I read it. When I think of him, I specifically think of the ending, but I think the whole thing could ring true to him:

I am a good man. The amount of fear I am ok with is insane. I love many people who don't love me. I don't actually know if that is true. This is love. It is a mass of ice melting. I can't hold it and I have nowhere to put it down.

Nancy is absolutely getting Aileen Wuornos Takes A Lover Home by Olivia Gatwood because it's one of my favorites and Nancy's one of my favorites, it only makes sense! I think the ending would really get to her in a way she didn't expect, and I don't blame her, because this is the ending:

In a phone call tapped by police, Aileen called Tyria her right arm, her left arm, her breath, how all Tyria could say back was Please tell them, please say it out loud. But Aileen didn’t want to talk about it. She wanted to talk about love. So Tyria would hang up, unsuccessful, and the officer would tell her to Say it like this, tell her she’ll get off, tell her it won’t be so bad. But how, each time, for three days straight, the police listened to Aileen talk about love. About her right arm. Her left arm. Her breath. Her breath. Her breath.

Actually going to tag @sznofthesticks because I feel like you would love this poem as well, and you'll agree that Nancy would love it too.

This is cheating but this song is so poetic I'm going to call it a poem. Owen would listen to You Are Your Mother's Child by Conor Oberst and he would want to sob but then he'd get cry lines. I think the whole thing is so Owen-coded but this part especially:

Out on the diamond, and you're up to bat Chewing your Big League, adjusting your hat Taking a swing and hearing it crack Look at that apple fly Tears will dry if you give them time Life's a roller coaster, keep your arms inside Fear, that's a big emotion But you are your mother's child And she'll have you for a while But someday, you'll be grown Then you'll be on your own

You could tell me Judd wrote I Am Offering this Poem under the pseudonym Jimmy Santiago Baca and I'd believe you. I'd believe he wrote while looking at Grace when she wasn't even looking at him because it has Judd all over it like:

Keep it, treasure this as you would if you were lost, needing direction, in the wilderness life becomes when mature; and in the corner of your drawer, tucked away like a cabin or hogan in dense trees, come knocking, and I will answer, give you directions, and let you warm yourself by this fire, rest by this fire, and make you feel safe I love you,

That's Judd!

Tommy would adore Every Job Has A First Day by Rebecca Gayle Howell. There's a cozy feeling to it, but the final words hold such a heavy weight that I think Tommy would appreciate and carry with her:

I listened as he taught me to relax the hand just enough. They can smell, he said, the oils our pores release when we tense to catch. You have to believe it, he said. You don’t mean any harm.

Speaking of Rebecca's, Marjan is giving me You Are the Penultimate Love of My Life by Rebecca Hazelton vibes in the best way. Maybe it's the romanticizing of something that has an inevitable ending but I feel like this would be Marjan's approach to a break-up, especially this part:

The garden you plant and I plant is tunneled through by voles, the vowels we speak aren’t vows, but there’s something holding me here, for now,

I feel like Paul, like me, would love the work of Cameron Awkward Rich, but specifically The Child Formerly Known As____ and even more specifically, the ending:

& in the end, isn’t that what we all want? To not feel so split? To carry an image of ourselves inside ourselves & know exactly what we mean when we say I— . I— . I— ?

I think Mate would love getting the chance to read Prayer for Werewolves by Stephanie Burt because I think he would see so much of himself in it. Stumbling and tumbling trying to find himself somewhere and eventually finding the place where he belongs. I also feel like he loves the supernatural and the first part of this poem would feel like a gut punch:

Someone will probably love you for who you are. If not, you’ll still find friends, friends who, given time, or given warning, will probably gather around you, hold your hands, and wrap you in soft coats and blankets till the violence inside your body ends.

Finally, my beloved Grace, is things i want to ask you by Helga Flores because I feel like the poem is just a list of things running through Grace's mind when she only knew Judd by voice, but that first one in particular:

i want to ask you what god feels like.

You've reached the end of my exhaustive essay that would probably keep going if I didn't reign myself in. I hope you liked these, they're some of my favorites <3

#“i can't hold it and i have nowhere to put it down” will never not make me short circuit UGH!#anyways this was such an amazing question thank you so much for asking it! <3 #do you have a favorite poem???#asked and answered

Oliva Biscuit x male reader and his name is Nitsu

Secret Santa gift fic for @unstuckmusturd

Sorry if some things don't add up very well also because it's too late!

Tw: infidelity, ambiguous thoughts, anal sex, blowbjob and spelling errors

"Get away from me!" You've deceived me, I don't know why I believed you.

"Listen to me, Nitsu, I was an idiot not to tell you anything, but I can make it clear..."

"Clarify what!?" That I'm the other? This was all a lie, you just called me so you can fix your problems with your girlfriend! "

"Maybe if you calm down..." Oliva tries to reassure him by grabbing him by the shoulder.

"Let go of me, dammit! You only brought misfortune into my life Nitsu" couldn't take it anymore and slapped him, Oliva didn't answer, he just bowed his head...

No one had imagined seeing Oliva's psychologist next to him having an argument... Who would have thought that the two of them would form an unbreakable bond?... We'd better start from the beginning.

And there he was, Oliva Biscuit, dressed as elegantly as possible and holding in his hands a pretty bouquet of roses, like the good groom who had been waiting three minutes before outside the room of his lovely bride. "Ah, Maria, my beautiful Maria, she is the only one in my heart, so lovely, she is just what I always dreamed of. Damn, I'm the luckiest man on earth—no! What do I say, of the universe" those and more cloying thoughts were running through his mind during the short time he had planted.

"What the fuck are you doing standing out there and why don't you just get in!?" "Maria didn't have that much patience for this kind of thing, even though it had been more than 7 years. "Tks, you're always late, damn..."

As always, Oliva received his daily dose of insults as it was already typical of what he had become accustomed to.

"Relax, Oliva, you know how she is, you have to be empathetic and not get angry like she does, understand what Maria is going through, it's not easy..."

"Are you done yet?" It was the only thing he could say, anything offensive or not; it would be used against him.

Maria just looked at him, she didn't say anything. Tears began to flow from those eyes that Oliva loved to see. He just came up to her and said, "My beloved, you'll never change, I love the way you are, maybe you won't be affectionate with me, but, I only have eyes for you, oh..." My dear Mary, stop crying. Scope! I brought you a bouquet of roses-

"Ahggg! Don't you understand me, I'm tired of this monotony, always lying around, not doing a single thing, just occupying a miserable place here... Also, you give me this bouquet of roses every day! Can't you see that I'm tired of this?, I want to change the rhythm of my life... I just want to... She was so melancholy that she didn't even feel like talking to him anymore, but Oliva noticed his beloved's feelings and quickly imprisoned her in his chest, hugging her lovingly.

Amazingly, Mary had stopped crying and had received the hug in a good way.

"I love you..."

Those were the only words that came out of the blonde. Biscuit's cheeks turned a crimson red.

"Have I told you that you make me the luckiest man?"

The woman ignored his question to hug him more intensely.

"Listen, Oliva, I really love your company, but would you like to leave me alone for a few moments?"

"Okay, don't worry, my dear, I'll wait as long as necessary for you." Without further ado, Oliva left the room.

"Hmm... What are you thinking? Does it have a surprise for me? Is he planning something pretty? Or is he just on his days? No, I say, he must have something beautiful to say to me, but is that a big deal, so that he should be made to leave his room? Pfff, of course it is, in our relationship everything is important..., but what do you want to tell me? If it was a good thing I'd say it... It doesn't matter what I'm thinking, our love is more important than that, I love her, hash, she's the most perfect woman I could have ever seen."

"Mr. Unchained, what's wrong with you?" Today it was a bit weird, it's going around in circles. "A high-ranking police officer noticed that Oliva was very different from any normal day.

"Mmmh, nothing happened, you can retire..."

"Are you sure?"

"You know what? I've been feeling weird lately, I don't know why. Not only me, but Maria, lately our conversations are more banal, she is more different than before...

"I think that must be."

"What if it's my fault?" Jesus, I don't know what I would do if all this estrangement from her to me is my fault, Mary doesn't deserve me, she inspires admiration...

"You're right! But if you'd let me talk-"

"I think I know what to do..." I know it sounds stupid, but I think I need a psychologist... Oliva began to whisper things that were incomprehensible to the policeman, until he grabbed the policeman's shoulder with a smile and said in an authoritarian way: "Stop looking at me like that!" I need you to call a psychologist now!

"Yes, sir! " The policeman immediately left the room. Oliva was thinking about the action he had just done. Did he just send someone to call a psychologist? A psychologist?! For the devil's sake, why did he do that? Oliva has never liked to express his feelings that have nothing to do with Maria, he has always been a "reserved" man in that aspect, since from a very young age he had been taught that a man should not open up and less talk about how he feels, he should be the pillar of the house (in this case Maria) and show that as a pillar, He is able to protect and manifest trust in all his loved ones.

A few days after Maria had given herself some time to herself, she did not want Oliva to enter her room every day, so she strongly requested that he leave or spend less time with her. Oliva had claimed to himself that this estrangement between them was his fault, so, unfortunately, he urgently needed the arrival of that psychologist to fix himself.

When the policeman confirmed the arrival of the psychologist in a few hours, Oliva was impatient.

Hours later, Oliva had received the news that the psychologist was already inside the prison. This would be the first and only time he would go to a psychologist, he was so anxious for it to be over!

Knock knock. Oliva knocked on the door, he heard he could come in, opened the door politely and sat down quickly.

"Mmh, well, let's get this over with quickly, please."

"Hey! We haven't even started and you want to leave... First tell me your name "

"My name is Oliva Biscuit, I'm a 37-year-old adult, I'm Cuban, but all my life I've been in the United States and well, I think that's all I have to say... "

"Nice to meet you, Oliva. Let me introduce myself, my name is Nitsu, I'm 32 years old, I'm Japanese and from this moment on I'll be your psychologist. Well, tell me, why did you decide to call a psychologist?"

"I don't even know why I did it. With that said, Oliva took a cigarette out of his pocket to light it. "

"You must know, for some reason you did."

"Could we move on to the question?"

"Well, if you wish..." Nitsu and Oliva were like that for a long time, at least Oliva now answered the questions, but only in monosyllables, so Nitsu asked him the first question again.

"Well, Oliva, in the end you didn't answer the first question... Why did you decide to call a psychologist?" With all the answers you've made, I've come to deduce that you didn't want this session.

"No "

"So?" Did you force yourself to come? Oliva didn't answer anything, he just kept his head down.

"Why did you do it?" Is there anything that makes you uncomfortable? If you want, you can tell me who or what it is.

"I-" Oliva was going to answer, but he was dry, he didn't want to mention Maria, she wasn't his problem, it was him. Why mention her when she has nothing to do with his banalities and stupidities that he thinks?

Nitsu got up from his seat, approached Oliva to grab his shoulder and say: "I know it's hard to open up to people you don't know, it was for me too, let me help you, my purpose is not to change you, but for you to reflect for yourself and better of that." You know, I'm amazed how it is that a very polite man is in this prison, although hey, you live better than me, I was better prepared as a bodybuilder than to spend 5 years cracking my skull!

"Well, then, to be a real man, you have to be polite, it doesn't matter if you are strong, weak, rich or poor, manners make a man and even more so if it is a question of being with a lady. — Nitsu had an idea, at the time Oliva spoke about that topic of chivalry, his features had completely changed, now he was no longer anxious to finish speaking, but he was too euphoric, so Nitsu decided that from now on they would talk about that, chivalry and the ideology that Oliva had regarding that.

"Tell me, Oliva, what do you think about chivalry?"

"Ha! It's good for you to ask me, this is a serious topic... Well, as I told you, manners make a real man, the truth is that a real man knows how to deal with ladies, but unfortunately I don't know how to do that...

"Why do you say that?"

"Can we pass the question?"

Nitsu knew that this was an urgent issue to be addressed, but more important were Oliva's feelings, so he stopped asking and continued with the conversation.

After finishing the session Nitsu recommended that they now have 2 sessions for 2 months, which Oliva did not like very much, but what he did love was that he was able to talk a little about his chivalry. Every day the other prisoners and policemen only praised him for the strong muscles he showed and the fear he imposed, now you could say he got a new friend.

The sessions between Nitsu and Oliva were becoming more entertaining for Biscuit, it seemed that every day he was opening up more, although there was something missing, only that Nitsu still couldn't find... Until now.

"Oliva you are so amazing, I love your way of thinking!" I never thought that a patient can also help their psychologist, well unfortunately this will be our last session I hope you were able to find yourself, it was a pleasure of mine to be your psychologist, I never met a man as elegant as you.

"It was also a pleasure and thank you very much for the compliment. The two shook hands like friends

"You know? You are someone to be admired... I don't know how you do it, I've never been able to be like you

"Why do you say that?"

"It's a very long anecdote..." Exhalo "It all started when I was little, I was like a... five or seven years old? I don't remember very well. My father had thoughts just like you, only he was too extreme. Since there were only two men in my family, my father told me that as a man, I didn't have to show my feelings, because that makes me weaker, I broke my bones trying not to cry, because according to my father that made me more "effeminate", every time I was growing up, I always kept everything to myself, and that was what affected me as a person...

"Why?"

"It was because of the pressure to comply with certain gender roles or stereotypes, which have a significant impact on mental and emotional health. It took me a long time to get out of that thought, but when I fully understood it, it was that strength is not in repressing emotions, but in acknowledging and addressing them in a healthy way".. These words touched Oliva's heart. Nitsu was right. All these years, he has been repressing his true self, so much so as to warp it into someone so strong with a stone shell.

"Do you know anything, Nitsu?" Now that I think about it, you and I are not as different as I used to think, we both live in a macho environment, where we were not allowed to be ourselves, I have always avoided being vulnerable to someone and even more so if it is a woman... Because, tell me, who in this world would love a weeping man? The truth is-

Oliva didn't finish speaking as Nitsu hugged him so tightly, he was so warm and comfortable that there were no words to express it... It was as beautiful as that feeling of feeling at home

The dark-haired man felt something inside him, something that, never experienced before, is akin to tranquility

Maybe it's...

Peace.

From that day on everything changed, Oliva went to visit him more often and vice versa with Nitsu, they were more than friends, maybe like brothers? I don't know, nor did they know this feeling, they just knew that they longed for each other more now.

Sessions became meetings, meetings became outings, and outings became appointments.

They had planned to meet one day outside the jail and Biscuit's luxurious home.

Maria noticed Oliva was very excited. Why? What bug bit you?

"Why are you so happy, huh?" Not that it was your birthday or mine...

"This is because of a thank you, Maria, for some reason I feel freer..."

"That's good, Oliva, I'm so glad for you that you're feeling excellent..." But tell me, where will you go?

"Oh! just to go with a friend to a restaurant, no need to worry! "

"I don't worry about you, I know you'll come in one piece and if you don't, obviously your pride as a man will crumble"

Oliva remained crestfallen at the latter. For some time I didn't feel the same way about Mary, but I still saw her as someone to be admired, she was like a sister.

After Oliva got out of jail, he made his way to a bar, where Nitsu was eagerly waiting for him, it would be the first time the two of them would drink together and better get out of jail! Maybe it's a respite for Oliva, that's what Nitsu thought when he invited him

"Hello, Oliva..." Nitsu looked at the brunette full length, he looked so good in that suit "He looks so cute like that dressed, I wish he would wear that kind of clothes more often."

"Hello, Nitsu. They both shook hands, but something Nitsu didn't notice was the fact that Oliva kept looking at his lips.

"Well, it's time to get in. Nitsu opened the door for Oliva, as if she were his lady.

The bar they had entered was a little different from the others, it was like the ones in Las Vegas, instead of waiters, there were women in "suggestive" clothes and it had a great slot machine. You could tell that the bar also had a place for couples to have fun. Neither of the two men gave importance to this, they had only planned this friendly date to chat and have fun with friends, right?

"May I take your order, gentlemen?" A beautiful young lady had approached them, she was dressed in a seductive manner. She saw Nitsu, he seemed more attractive to her than Oliva, so she stroked his hand.

"I want a free Cuba and my partner wants sake. Oliva intervened the lady's touch so that Nitsu wouldn't forget who she was going with.

"Mmmh, okay, if you need anything else just give me a call." "The young lady had been intimidated by Oliva's appearance, so she just withdrew. This situation seemed somewhat curious to Nitsu.

"Oliva, how did you know I prefer sake?" I've never told you.

"It's easy, you're Japanese, you don't have that much resistance to alcohol, plus I know you like rice cake, I've seen you eat it many times and sake has rice too.

"Good argument. "

The meeting went on normally, the lady had poured them their drinks, she still looked at Nitsu as if she wanted to eat it with her eyes, he knew about this, but he ignored any compliments.

Later, it was almost midnight, and people were arriving. It was announced that there would be a table dance show, this announcement took the conversation off the two men's mind.

"You look like you want to see those girls dance you..." Nitsu joked, however, Oliva only blushed.

"No- no! I didn't come to see those girls..." Oliva turned his face away so that Nitsu wouldn't notice the blush he was making. "I only came for you. "

Oliva's heart was pounding. Why did he feel this? Why did he do it? What was it about Nitsu in particular? "Damn, Nitsu, if you only knew how I feel now" those were the only words that crossed his mind at that moment. Fuck, seeing Nitsu flushed like that from sake and with his shirt a little uncovered made him look so handsome. How come he never noticed such a stud in front of him? Why do you think that? At this very moment, he imagined Nitsu lunging at the table to kiss him possessively. Something worse appeared at this instant... a BIG little problem that I had to solve, now.

"Ahem, Nitsu, forgive me, but I need to go to the bathroom for a moment, I think the drink hurt me."

"Don't worry Oliva, I'll be waiting for you," Nitsu said and then caressed her cheek.

Oliva quickly abandoned Nitsu to end his suffering once and for all. The moment he entered the bathroom, he locked himself in and decided to pull down his pants to see the problem they had caused him... This would have been better if the person who caused the problem fixed it.

Oliva started by pulling down his boxers, his member was throbbing like never before, he wasn't a fan of jerking off, but he was too desperate.

At first he started going slow, I imagine Nitsu sucking his cock slowly, up and down. God, he made it feel so good. Would Nitsu like slow or fast? It doesn't matter now, it was better to fantasize about it.

Elsewhere, Nitsu sat waiting for Oliva eagerly. Why will it take so long? Is he fucking a girl he met? That made Nitsu insecure, he was afraid that he would be left standing up for a woman. "Maybe a woman satisfies him better sexually or romantically than I do... Wait, why am I thinking about that?" Nitsu blushed, she had never imagined him and a man together, but, Oliva, he changes everything.

"What's a handsome man like you doing, alone?" Did they leave you standing, my love? The young lady who had had her eye on him had now approached him.

"Ah?" No, not at all, I'm just waiting for a friend...

"Well, I don't think that little friend of yours will come, maybe he already has his girl riding him, mmhh, you need one too, don't you think?"

"Excuse me!? Please, I ask you to stay away from me

"Is it a shame that a good man like you can't get someone to fuck tonight?" You know what? You better come with me and take that little face off, be serious.

The girl grabbed his hand and ran him to a giant inflatable bed, which was not in a room, but a place for the public to enjoy.

Oliva began to let his fantasies run wild as he moved his hips, he imagined Nitsu licking the entire length of his member, until he reached his heavy balls, where he would begin to play with them. Oliva began to go faster, so much so that he stopped standing and sat down on the toilet lid. She began to imagine Nitsu with his shirt unbuttoned, his cock throbbing as he rode his beloved Oliva.

Oliva pushed like a madman, biting his lip to silence his moans and moans. He didn't want to be caught doing something so explicit... Although, well, it was a bar, here everyone could at this time.

He tried to imagine Nitsu as a woman. Would he still be with Oliva? God, just imagining Nitsu riding him as her tits moved, that turned him on more... However, it doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman, he was always going to fantasize about it

"N-Nitsu! He came with a choked cry and a soft moan. His toes curled as his seed sprouted. He never so hard in his life... "

Sweat trickled down his forehead as he tried to catch his breath. Some of his cum was dripping down to the floor... God, he was going to clean up all his mess.

The moment he finished cleaning, he washed his face and also his hands, it was time to go out renewed in search of his beloved.

What Oliva didn't expect was the fact that, at the time of leaving, Nitsu was no longer there, he quickly intuited that the girl had taken him. The best thing to do was to investigate.

The surprise was to see that Nitsu was lying on a large giant inflatable bed, where there were many people surrounding the bed, Oliva decided to enter all that crowd, at the moment visualize better, the girl from before was making very suggestive movements to Nitsu, the girl was rubbing her buttocks along with Nitsu's crotch, that upon noticing, Nitsu was hard. How dare that one?! A random woman was seducing what is hers. Oliva noticed that Nitsu looked away, he couldn't get out of that place because he was tied to the bed. People were screaming for him to fuck him, while others were asking to be in Nitsu's place.

What generated another big problem in Oliva is that he finally realized that Nitsu was with his shirt unbuttoned, his abdomen was marked. God, Oliva wanted to bite him, Nitsu's hair was messy, and she was blushing because of the sake.

"Let go, he's not yours!" The girl's dancing stopped and the onlookers turned their gaze to Oliva, maybe Biscuit had a big problem underneath him, but rescuing Nitsu was his priority.

"Ahh, you're his little friend, huh?" Well, you'll see that we're a little busy now... But maybe you'll join us for a threesome. With that said, the girl glanced at Nitsu out of the corner of her eye and then looked at Oliva. "My dream was always for two stallions to break two of them.

"Well, this isn't your day. Oliva pushed the girl away and untied Nitsu from the bed

"But why do they do this?" The girl looked at Nitsu confused.

"My dear, what you don't understand, is that this man is not going to give himself to you, because he is gay and I am his boyfriend" Those words left the girl stunned. For some reason Nitsu liked that...

Oliva quickly grabbed Nitsu's hand to make them run. Neither of them had realized that they were heading to one of these private rooms.

" Oliva, thank you very much... "

"Don't talk to me now, do you?" Oliva wanted to forget what he had said, he was very embarrassed, it was inevitable to cover his blush, something that Nitsu had already noticed.

"I... Olive: What did you say at the time?... why?

"Ahh, I don't know, I just said it to leave you alone. This meeting is about us, not her.

"You... jealous?

"Isn't that obvious?"

The moment had become uncomfortable for Oliva, he didn't know what to do, he wanted to run away at that moment, but what he didn't expect was the following:

"Oliva, I don't know what to say, these feelings are so inexplicable..." Nitsu didn't finish speaking, because Oliva interrupted him

"Please don't say anything, this is all unexpected, look, we have to forget this. Oliva was so nervous that he started playing with his hands, as if he were a high school girl declaring to the boy she likes.

"It's not that, Oliva, it's just that, the feeling now, is..."

"It sucks... "

Oliva didn't finish speaking, as Nitsu kissed him, in a sweet way, as if he were saying "Idiot, I love you." The dark-haired man reciprocated the kiss, this act of love was going with more intensity, to the point of reaching the passion, so much so that the oxygen in both of them was going out. Oliva's heart was beating a thousand times an hour, when Nitsu stuck his tongue in it and Biscuit too, at that moment, the Japanese was already exhausted from lack of air, so he made a small moan, which had made Oliva hard, Nitsu felt it, he slowly lowered his hand to the brunette's crotch. She began to caress him and Oliva left the kiss to moan.

"Nitsu, enough is enough, or I won't be able to contain myself.

"Who said you should hold back?" — With that said, Nitsu bent down to where the opponent's crotch was, he began to unbutton Oliva's pants, she found his boxer shorts with a large erection that was begging for attention.

Oliva felt so shy that he covered his face with one hand, while the other stroked Nitsu's silky hair.

Nitsu massaged the still covered erection, he had always wondered... Is it true that chocolate men had a bigger one? He doesn't know yet, but he's trying to find out.

Nitsu began by pulling down Oliva's boxer shorts in seductive fashion. First, he grabbed the boxer shorts with his teeth, then he looked at Oliva, these two exchanged glances, which made Oliva more nervous, then Nitsu under the boxer shorts with his teeth and hands. Now Oliva was exposed.

"Olive... You're so beautiful, your cock is so beautiful..." Nitsu began to caress him breathlessly. and your balls are so heavy..." Nitsu squeezed Oliva's balls and then said, "I want you to give me everything of you and your cock..." Have you ever received a blowjob?

Oliva quickly shook his head.

"Well, now you're going to touch paradise itself. "

Nitsu was surprised to see Oliva's big hard member. God wanted so badly to suck him dry and him bathed in his seed. The first thing Nitsu did was unbutton his pants and pull down his boxer shorts to make the with one hand, while with the other he sucked Oliva.

First, Nitsu began to play with Oliva's cock in his hand and brush his balls against him. Oliva bit his lip so as not to let out any moaning, which Nitsu did not like, he wanted to hear the moans and gasps of his beloved, so he squeezed his wingspan tighter. Oliva understood what Nitsu wanted to do... Nitsu wanted to give Oliva an unforgettable night.

After some time he massaged Oliva with his hand. Nitsu got bored, so he lowered his hand and pulled the veiny, upright cock into his mouth.

"God, Nitsu... "

Nitsu began licking his glans, Oliva wanted to enjoy him more, so he began to move his hips to fake penetrations, so much so that at the second penetration Nitsu choked on the thick cock. This caused Nitsu to subconsciously cry. Oliva noticed this, so he was alarmed.

"Are you okay?" Tell me if something happens to stop... Mmhh" Oliva's words were cut short as Nitsu shoved a large portion of his penis into his mouth and began sucking it in a delicious way for the brunette, causing Oliva to move his hips as if he was asking for more.

Nitsu shoved it all the way in, sucking and biting it with such euphoria as Oliva moved more and more. A few minutes had passed and Nitsu had an idea, first, he took the big and erect cock out of his mouth, Oliva had felt empty at the moment he stopped feeling Nitsu's lips.

"Maybe I'm not a woman, but I want to satisfy you with my whole body..." With that said, Nitsu took off his shirt, exposing his tiddies. Nitsu brought his pecs closer to the cock, so much so that they brushed, at that precise moment Nitsu was moving up and down, causing the cock to move as well. As Nitsu's tiddies were not as big as a woman's, with one hand he covered the cock making it tighter, his movements began to become more erratic and every time the member got closer to him, Nitsu eagerly licked the glans.

"I think I'm going to—"

"Me too... That said, Oliva was the first to empty all the thick cum he had, this cum fell between Nitsu's tiddies and all over his face. While Nitsu emptied, staining Oliva's sagging pants.

Both were exhausted, Oliva fell to the ground, while Nitsu fell on top of him. They wanted to spend a night of passion, but they also wanted to make love to each other cloyingly. In the end, they both fell asleep for all the wild night they had.

The next morning, Nitsu was the first to wake up, he realized that they were both in bed and not on the floor.

"Good morning... "

"Oliva, Why are we in bed?"

"Oh, I carried you, you looked so tired. "

"I understand..."

"Nitsu, I feel like we have to forget this, I don't want our relationship to change forever..." I do love you, but I don't want you to be prejudiced against me.

"Don't say that, Oliva, I'm feeling feelings for you too, I love you and I know I will until the end of my days." Oliva hadn't resisted kissing him tenderly.

"I love you, Nitsu, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you..." You are so perfect for me and as I am for you... Please be mine... I've wanted to tell you this for a long time: Can we be a couple? "

"Yes, please!"

After that day, both men started dating in secret, neither of them didn't want to be judged just for the fact of being in a gay relationship.

Oliva gave him a steady job in prison as a psychologist and gave him a small room to live in. Now the two of them saw each other more often, Oliva booked many appointments for the psychologist, most of the time it was to talk about his day, but a few other times, they were to have sex, Oliva loved to fuck him with his psychologist coat, that made him look sexier. On the other hand, those numerous visits made some people think that he had problems with Maria or maybe he was tired of being the strongest, well, who knows?

The things on Oliva's part, is that now he was at a rock and a hard place, he loved his boyfriend, but he was also in a multi-year relationship with a strong woman, he didn't know how to tell Maria, he didn't want her to be sad, so he stopped spending a lot of time with her, those everyday meetings, now they were just Inter daily. Maria was surprised by this, but she didn't think much of it, as she now felt a little more free.

" Patient 21018, forward."

The patient came in and quickly sat down. He and Nitsu had a normal conversation, but the patient came with a bigger question.

"A question... Why is Mr. Unchained always with you?" Does he have serious problems? A few times I've passed by I've heard some screams, I think they were from him.

Nitsu was getting nervous, he didn't know what to say but the patient quickly answered his question.

"Don't worry! I know what's going on here, don't worry, I won't tell anyone

"Huh?" What do you mean? Nitsu was beyond scared.

"That Mr. Unchained has problems with his girlfriend... You know?" It's hard to be a good boyfriend in this prison, besides, the two of them have been together for years, probably the love is gone and they only put up with each other because of the love they both feel, isn't it?

"What?" Nitsu was speechless. "Does he has a girlfriend? Why? "

"I don't understand what you mean, man, you're the psychologist, you literally have the background of all of us, you could have easily figured it out on your first day.

Nitsu didn't hear anything he said, he just heard his heart beating, he was angry, he felt used, he longed to hit him now. He quickly left the room and went to Mary's room

"Mary... Can I come in? — The aforementioned heard a slightly nervous voice coming from outside, it was Oliva. How long ago was he so nervous? Maria let him in and was even more surprised to see Oliva well dressed and with a bouquet of roses.

"Maria, I, I have something to tell you..." Honestly, I'm afraid you'll hate me for this, it's better late than never, isn't it? Look, what's happening now is that" Oliva kept his head down "I don't anymore... "

The door opened loudly, it was Nitsu. He couldn't believe what he was seeing: her boyfriend along with a bouquet of roses that were meant for her.

"What does this mean? Why did you lie to me!? "

"Oliva, he's your psychologist, isn't he?" What are you doing here?

"That's what I wanted to tell you, Maria"

"What did you want to tell me?" Oliva was about to speak trying to calm Nitsu down, but he interrupted resentfully.

"He wanted to tell you that he is cheating on me and I was a very idiot, I didn't realize that I was messing with someone with an established relationship. He's a liar, he just wanted me as his plaything

"Oliva... Is that true?"

"No! I didn't use it at all, I love it... I... Forgive me"

"How could you do this to me?" We were together for 7 years, I trusted you Why are men liars? Maria was devastated, so much so that she began to cry, not because of the loss of her love, but because of the years she lost.

"I don't want to be with you, Oliva, I don't know how I accepted you as my partner..." Nitsu wasn't crying, he wanted to hit him now, but he knew that none of his blows would hurt him, no matter how hard Nitsu was he wouldn't be able to scratch him, so he wanted to leave the room to a place where he could empty all his resentment, However, Oliba didn't want him to leave, Nitsu was his world, that's why he grabbed his hand to stop him, but when he looked into Nitsu's eyes he only saw disappointment.

"Get away from me!" You've deceived me, I don't know why I believed you.

"Listen to me, Nitsu, I was an idiot not to tell you anything, but I can make it clear..."

"Clarify what!?" That I'm the other? This was all a lie, you just called me so you can fix your problems with your girlfriend!

"Maybe if you calm down..." Oliva tries to reassure him by grabbing him by the shoulder.

"Let go of me, dammit! You only brought misfortune into my life — Nitsu couldn't take it anymore and slapped him, Oliva didn't answer, he just bowed his head...

Now Nitsu didn't know where to go, so he involuntarily locked himself in the room along with Maria. Oliva knew that he had behaved like a son of a bitch, so he left the place, looking for someone who could make him think.

"Your name is Nitsu, isn't it?" He turned to see Maria sobbing along with a rag.

"Yes, my name is Nitsu and an apology for having invaded your relationship, if I had known before that Oliva had a beautiful girlfriend, I would never try to get into her relationship, sorry for what I have done, maybe a pardon or sorry is not much, but it is the least I can do now for you" That said, Nitsu bowed.

"Don't worry, this isn't your mistake, it's that damn bastard's mistake... In addition... "

"What's more?"

"It's my fault, too!" Maria began to cry worse, Nitsu felt great empathy for her so he hugged her.

"Excuse me... But I don't understand what you mean. "

Oliva was running to where? He didn't even know, he just knew he needed to talk about this with someone... With whom? Ah! With Inmate 21018! Maybe he could help you.

Oliva was so desperate that he smashed down the jail door in one fell swoop, to see inmate 21018 and 22067 talking.

"Mr. Unchained" Replied on 21018

"Guevaru," Oliva replied.

Inmate 22067 named Baki was so confused about what was going on. Now?

"Guevaru, I need to talk to you"

"Huh? Why is that?"

"That doesn't matter to you, just follow me," Oliva and Jun withdrew from the place, leaving Baki more confused.

Now that he was in a more comfortable place, Oliva was able to tell Jun about the big trouble he made...

"A question... Is Nitsu a man?"

"Yes"

"So you're gay?"

"Yes, I say No! Stop asking those things and I'm not interested in you being homophobic, I just want you to help me... "

"Talk"

"I tried it and it didn't help!"

"You only did it when the bomb went off, didn't you?" Obviously you have to bide your time to speak, clearly you don't have to justify yourself, that would be the stupidest thing someone like you would do... Well, I think that would be my only advice.

"Can I ask you one more favor?"

"What?"

"Can I stay in your cell today?"

"Yes, but don't sleep with me!"

"Thank you very much, Guevaru! " Oliva couldn't hold back the joy that hugged Jun, he was going to wait until the next day to talk to the two of them.

"Let go of me, I don't want to become gay like you"

"I thought pirates were gay."

"Gay? Never Bisexual? Perhaps" With that said, they both withdrew, and Oliva was taken into the cell.

Meanwhile in Maria's room, she and Nitsu formed a quick bond of friendship and occasionally teased Oliva.

"You know, sometimes Oliva was too stupid with me, that bored me."

"He never went overboard with me, only sometimes he would come to visit me just to fuck.

"Ah... Speaking of which, how does it feel to fuck a man? Well, I've done it too, but maybe for you it was different

"I suppose it's normal?" I don't know, it's just that I've never fucked a woman

"Are you gay?"

"Not at all! I've had more girlfriends than boyfriends, unfortunately I've never been able to fuck one

"It must be unfortunate that a man as polite as you should not have done it"

"Meh, I don't care that much"

The next morning Oliva said goodbye to Jun, Baki and the other inmates who lived in the jail, it was very uncomfortable to sleep among so many men.

Oliva knocked on the door of Maria's room, he was a little nervous about what will happen. Nitsu was the one who opened it, he looked at him, he was about to close the door until Oliva said "I want to speak please, if you want later you can make me, but first let me speak" These words moved Nitsu, maybe he hates Oliva, but to his misfortune he still loved him.

"Nitsu, who is it?" Maria said, turning to look.

"Mary, it's...

"Get out of here! Neither of us needs you," Maria replied violently.

"Maria, let me speak first, I have no justification for this, if I have something to say to you..." He sighs deeply.

"It's my fault, too..." Maria interrupted Oliva

"Oh? What do you mean, Maria? None of this is your fault!"

"Oliva, let Maria explain everything to you..."

"It's been a long time now, I've had internal problems with myself, when I asked you not to come to my room to visit me sometimes, I started to think about myself, I've reflected on my life and everything I've been through. On the other hand, you didn't get as close to me anymore, for some reason that made me feel more... Liberated, like I wasn't suffocated with love, you know I never put up with the cheesy and cloying, yet I loved you and endured you for almost 7 years. I've been reflecting a lot on ourselves and my own feelings, and I think it's only fair to share with you what I've been experiencing. It's not easy to admit, but I feel like there's been a shift in my emotions and I no longer feel the same way I did at the beginning of our relationship.

"How long have you felt this way, Maria?"

"Unfortunately it's been almost a year now, sorry for making you live in a lie, I know that if I had told you before you would be in deplorable situations, besides, I'm very sorry for having behaved like a jealous person, I only did it so that you wouldn't suspect anything about me. But now, I feel at ease, I know you're in good hands" Look at Nitsu "I don't have a place here anymore, so I've decided to leave"

"What, where are you going?!" Oliva was totally surprised.

"She told me that she is going to her native country, Canada, with an old friend of hers... If I remember, her name is Diane Neil, isn't she?

"Yes, she's older than me, but our friendship still prevails.

Oliva and Maria were on good terms, and he helped her pack her things. That same day, Maria left for Ottawa and obviously Oliva made a VIP reservation for her as a form of apology and thanks.

However, now he had to fix the problems with someone important...

"Nitsu…"

"Oliva, I don't know what to tell you, I want to forgive you..." But something tells me no.

"Nitsu, I just want to fix things with you, you're the most important thing to me," Oliva reached out to hug him, but Nitsu was still distant.

"Oliva, first, let me think about it, yes?"

"Okay, I'll wait anything for you

And so it was that hours, days and weeks passed and Nitsu did not speak to him, Oliva knew that he had to give him his time, he was patient, he would know that one day he would speak to him. Everything was normal until that day.

Oliva was calm changing, until only his boxer shorts remained, which had the texture of leopard, he began to pose in the mirror, he looked like a child with his favorite outfit. Everything was going well, until he heard someone knock on the door. Oliva only replied "Pass"

"Oliva, I want to talk to you-" Nitsu couldn't finish, because he saw Oliva's half-naked body. God, he had already forgotten how handsome he was.

"Yes?" Oliva knew very well that he was craving it, so he decided to be more of a son of a bitch and get closer to him so that his bare chest rubs against Nitsu

"This will be very short, but I have thought about everything and I want to leave the past behind, Maria already did it and I must do it too, I don't want to live resentful" Nitsu who was determined to apologize to her did not let herself be carried away by the seduction of her beloved. "I still fucking love you, I haven't been able to get you out of my mind during this time" With that, Nitsu hugged his beloved and Oliva pulled him closer to kiss him. This kiss was more intense, it was a combination of emotions, they were both desperate for love, they didn't want foreplay,

Oliva carried Nitsu, while he took off all his psychologist clothes

"Nitsu, don't take off your robe, I want to fuck you with that on" With that said, Oliva left him on the bed while he slowly pulled down his leopard-textured boxers. Nitsu licked his lips at the sight of the big cock standing upright.

Oliva was also more successful when he saw Nitsu's cock standing upright, it was his turn to return the favor.

Oliva threw himself on the bed as if he were a wolf that was going to eat its prey and began to eat the necessary cock. Nitsu started to let out moans, he didn't like to do that, but from the side Oliva looked like a hungry dog, such was the craving of both of them, that Nitsu cummed in Oliva's mouth. The brunette didn't want to waste any of the cum spilling, so he made sure to drink the entire delightful orgasm, being careful not to waste anything.

"God, Oliva, where did you learn to eat me that way?"

"I learned it the hard way" Oliva didn't notice, but a few drops of cum slid all over his chest that made Nitsu hard again. This time, Oliva would get straight to the point.

That was so straightforward that Nitsu felt it hard, so he just wanted to obey her.

Nitsu got on all fours and Oliva had spanked him in the process.

"Don't be so me, okay? Because if I don't- Ah, holy shit!" Nitsu didn't have a chance to speak, as Oliva had shoved it into him, it felt so painful, yet pleasurable at the same time. Oliva didn't make a move, just waiting for Nitsu to get used to his thickness. When Nitsu felt more comfortable, he gave him a signal for Oliva to move

"You tell me if it hurts, okay? I don't want to hurt you." These were the last words Nitsu could clearly hear from Oliva. He began to move his hips in a romantic and slow way, putting it all in and then taking it out. it was so strong that Nitsu had to bite the pillow

"God, Oliva, you're a dream, I love how you move if you keep going like this, I won't be able to contain myself"

"for me, Nitsu, for daddy" After a few more thrusts. Oliva was also about to inside her beloved. "I can't contain myself anymore, Oliva..."

"then" Oliva and Nitsu cummed at the same time, Nitsu's essence falling all over his abdomen and on a part of the bed, while Oliva cummed all over inside Nitsu, causing him to scream so much to the point of biting his lip.

After the moment of passion that they both had, Oliva got together with Nitsu, he was very exhausted, it had been a long time since he had sex and even less that they put it in, but now the only thing he can do is hug Oliva and give each other short kisses.

"I love you, Oliva"

"And I love you, my little pookie"

"Hey! I'm not small, you only beat me by about four centimeters."

"Nitsu..."

"What?"

"Shut up and kiss me"

That said, Oliva stole a kiss from Nitsu and vice versa, they loved each other so much, they were perfect for each other…

Hi Lola 💖 you asked for a distraction so hit me with 4, 6, 9, 12, 17 and 24 for the ask game please

hiya, d. thanks for my pick me up!

4. a story idea i haven't written yet

i'm super keen to write the neighbourhood enemies to lovers tarlos fic that started with a joke about speeding fines and ended with a full on TK character study. i've also been plagued by a desire to write a reddit-inspired AU for tarlos featuring an awkward first interaction followed by an online romance, but i have no idea when or if it's gonna happen.

6. the word that appears most in your current draft

now that 10 things is over, i'm turning back to eurotrip. currently, the wordcount is sitting around 90k and 'fuck' appears 136 times already (keep in mind it's 50% henry POV too).

9. start to finish, how long did it take you to write the last fic you posted?

10 things took over 18 months because i DNF'd it twice 💀 still can't actually believe i finished it. the quickest i've ever written a fic was ALTA, which is 166k and i took just under 3 months to write the first draft.

12. a trope i'm really into right now

see above question (4) i'm just so obsessed with anything to lovers - enemies to lovers is the hardest to nail imo, but i also love rivals to lovers, friends to lovers, idiots to lovers, pretend enemies to lovers, etc. etc.

another thing i'm super into writing at the moment is awkward/endearing sex lmao. like imperfect but eager sex between two people who really like each other but who are also really nervous.

17. is answered here.

24. how do you recharge when you're not feeling creative?

i don't really have a good answer to this - i guess i just try and focus on my creativity somewhere else, like into dance? i go with ebbs and flows, sometimes when i'm really creative in one area i'm not in the other. i just gotta ride the wave i think <3

thanks for these, you picked such great questions!

Thank you @goodways and @lemonlyman-dotcom for the tags! This is from chapter 4 of my Chicago Med/Shadowhunters/Arrow au fic

“I know what you both are thinking and to answer your silent question, yes my crush will be at the Gala as well and no I'm not telling you his name or pointing him out to you.” Izzy had been trying her best to keep her family from knowing that she was crushing on the mundane version of a Lightwood. “Why not?” Alec and Jace had been trying to find out who the mystery man was for months and didn't even know what he looked like. “Because I don't want you both judging him before really knowing him.” Izzy walked out of the dressing room in a medium length silver dress and black and silver chunky heels. “That's fair, I guess. Wow you look stunning in that dress.” Alec took a picture of his sister and sent it to his boyfriend since he knew that Magnus would love to be there to see that.

Fic writer 20 questions

I was tagged by the lovely @bitbybitwrites ♥

Not tagging anyone because I'm pretty sure she tagged everyone I follow lol. So if anyone sees this and feels like doing it, consider yourself tagged.

1. how many works do you have on ao3?

19 on AO3. Still need to move a couple from Fanfiction.net

2. whats your ao3 word count?

Right now, it's 1.756.021 (holy shit)

3. what fandoms do you write for?

Only Glee.

4. top 5 fics by kudos

Solid Gold.

Clear Skies.

Flowers in the Window.

Underneath it All.

Sing to me Instead.

5. do you respond to comments? why or why not?

I try to answer them every week. It's nice to interact with the readers and a really great way to show your appreciation that they take time to read and comment after every chapter.

6. what is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Flowers in the Window, probably?

7. whats the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

All my fics have happy endings, so this one is hard to answer... probably Syrup and Honey or Clear Skies?

8. do you get hate on fics?

Not often, but it's happened.

9. do you write smut? if so, what kind?

Yes, I write smut. At least a few scenes in every fic. I try to give it a purpose in each story, because I'm not exactly a fan of PWP, though I've made an exception once or twice lol. I like loving sex scenes the most, ones where it's obvious the characters are making a real connection.

10. do you write crossovers? whats the craziest one youve ever written?

I don't write crossovers. Never liked them, of any sort. Not even on actual TV shows (when I used to watch the DC shows and they blended Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow, it was actually one of the reasons I stopped watching).

11. have you ever had a fic stolen?

Too many times lol.

12. have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes, several times with my permission. It was really nice :)

13. have you ever cowritten a fic before?

No. I only ever worked with fanart artists for collabs before, but never with other writers.

14. fave all time ship?

I think it's pretty clear that it's Klaine :)

(But god, I love Stede and Ed, Lucius and Black Pete, and Carlos and TK)

15. wip you want to finish but doubt you will?

I never start a story I don't intend to finish.

16. what are your writing strengths?

Probably angst, I guess. I just love writing it, because it's what elicits the most feelings while I'm working on it (and readers react most strongly to it, too!)

17. what are your writing weaknesses?

I still struggle with some grammar or spelling. Thank goodness I have @christinejaneanderson ♥

18. thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in a fic?

I don't mind but it has to be perfectly written - I always cringe when I hear Spanish spoken in TV shows and it's completely inaccurate (Glee did that a few times, and a few others). How hard it is to check?

19. first fandom you wrote for?

Maybe Lord of the Rings? But Glee is the only fandom I wrote seriously for.

20. fave fic youve written?

This changes all the time, honestly. My current favorite is Cause and Effect. But there are many I have a lot of love for.

hi! for the character ask game: 9, 10, 21 for tk!

Hi!! Thank you!! (Character ask game)

9. Could you be roommates with this character?

Wow this genuinely a very good question.. hm🤔 well, even though TK is sometimes depicted as the opposite, I actually feel like he has his sh*t together way too much for us to be compatible roommates - I’d feel intimidated lol. At the same time, he is kind of chaotic and, we know he sometimes skips dinner and eats a 2 in the morning and can be very emotional.. and in those regards I’d feel like we’d compliment each other too well 😅 we’d end up eating dinner after 11pm ever day talk ourselves into a spiral about feelings.. and I have lived with a dear friend of mine before who were impulsive in her emotions and sometimes lashed out a bit as a reaction which I hc TK has the tendency to, and her emotions took up quite a lot of space, and while it didn’t damage our friendship that was very hard bc I’m the opposite, I hardly ever get annoyed and like to talk things out calmly and rationally lol.. and so when people lashes out at me it feels like a Big Thing and I don’t always handle that as well as I imagine Carlos would😊 so I guess we wouldn’t be the most compatible..? Or maybe it’s just because I’m picky with roommates atm and looking for at place of my own since I have literally not been alone for more than maybe a week in hours added together in the last year, (😭)and also I can’t imagine TK living with anyone but Carlos🥰 BUT! TK is such a genuinely good person who I like very much, so that counts, AND he’s a pretty good communicator, which I consider myself to be too so we’d make it work😌

10. Could you be best friends with this character?

I think this question would be answered with some of the same pros/cons listed above. Although it is sometimes easier to be best friends than rommies! Added to that, I think that TK is kind of drawn to people who are kind of steady, and are natural caregivers, in his close relationships. And while I am definitely caring and also the one of my friends who kind of analyzes and their chaotic situations and give them solid advice, the everyday caretaker role of like cooking food and reading other’s emotions and needs without having them explicated sometimes and stuff doesn’t come very natural me. I am unstructured, slightly chaotic and very reflective and bad at even making food for myself to be ready on the Correct Mealtimes hehe. But okay, considering Carlos fills out that role for TK, I guess pros are that we are both nerdy about and love animals (also the non-furry ones lol) and both like to go dancing and are open about things that many people might consider private, and have a thing for short sleeved shirts with cute patterns🥰

I guess again, I don’t see it as a perfect match, but we could definitely make it work! Some of my best friends are not friends who are perfect matches either but are best friends because I’ve known them for a very long time and fate brought us together lol, and they are the types, like me, to form close bonds with openness and vulnerability and you can be yourself, and I think TK can be the same way:)

Wow sorry for the long answers, those were difficult questions! I really went not only ‘hm how do I see TK as a roomie’ and ‘what make people compatible as best friends’ but also ‘who am I??’ lol

21. If you're a fic writer and have written for this character, what's your favorite thing to do when you're writing for this character? What's something you don't like?

I love writing and reading TK Strand shenanigans. Him being the biggest adventure of Carlos’ life. Just being slightly chaotic and menacing😌 Also TK being sexually open-minded and adventurous, and communicative. Hm. Something I’m aware of when both reading and writing TK is writing him as also insecure and somewhat inexperienced, in that I think he hasn’t felt comfortable sexually and romantically the way he does with Carlos. So I don’t like to depict him as some sort of savior of Carlos’ love life who knows all the answers. But I also don’t like to depict him as if nothing in his past has been good you know?

Also it’s important for me to make sure to depict TK as nuanced in terms of “masculine” and “feminine” (I really don’t like those words) traits. But like yeah, TK is slightly chaotic, his voice is lighter than Carlos’ and he dresses more colorfully and in light colors and is a bit more flamboyant and does the cutest little bouncy-shimmy and he is definely more in tune with his emotions. But he is also steady and badass af in a storm, he is Carlos’ rock, unfazed in emergencies involving sickness, gore and literal fire and explosions, he is strong, caring and hella competent, and he’s good at communicating (when he’s not too wound up and lashes out it runs off) but yeah. I love those nuances about him and it’s important for me to depict those, which can feel like a challenge to do it in a subtle show-don’t-tell way bc I’m such a beginner at writing!

TK’s past and present with addiction can also be difficult to write, mainly because people who struggle with it have a lot of different experiences, and it’s a subject surrounded still by a lot of stigma and I want to be sensitive about it without leaving out the hard and nitty-gritty parts.

I really gotta practice shorter answers, thank you for the asks, and thank you to anyone who have actually reached the bottom of this😅😅

Year in Review: Favorite Lines

tagged by @iboatedhere. thank you!

RULES: Share your top three/top five/however many favorite snippet(s)/line/quotes/paragraphs from your published fics (or wips, I don’t care!) and don’t forget to share the link of course!

One each from Knave 2 and Knave 3 because they're in conversation with each other.

The Knave of Hearts . . . he said he'd steal no more

“You didn't steal me, TK,” he says softly. “I’m here because I want to be, eyes open, and my choice. You didn’t con me, and I don’t want anything from you except you.”

TK’s hand tightens on his shirt, and he laughs faintly. “You say that like it isn’t everything.”

The Knave of Hearts . . . brought back the tarts

“I’m sorry I couldn’t keep the Leyendecker for you.” She laughs ruefully, “I saw it and I couldn’t help myself, I know how much you loved it, how much it tore at you that you had to give it up for me. I’m sorry I couldn’t give it back to you.”

TK’s voice is amused. “I went straight, Jack, I couldn’t have kept it anyway.” He pauses. “And it turns out I don't need it as much anymore. I have the real thing now, I don’t need to look at a painting of a possibility.”

“You’re really happy?” She sounds dubious, but willing to be convinced.

“I really am. I love my job. I love Carlos. I love the life I have here. I know it’s not what either one of us imagined, because I didn’t know how to imagine this. But I’m not running anymore, not from or to. I think I’ve found where I’m supposed to be.”

We Were in Screaming Color (Chpt 1 & Chpt 11)

okay, so I love this partly because I put this in Chapter 1 so I could have a pay off in Chapter 11. I don't know if anyone else remembered that 11 chapters later, but it was on purpose and I like the symmetry.

Chapter 1

Once, staring at his ceiling gritty-eyed and unable to sleep during the endless months after he bought the loft, he’d cataloged the way TK uses pet names; a grim taxonomy of words he thought he’d forfeited the right to hear.

Babe is casual. It's a substitute for his name. It's an interjection, or the exclamation point to a sentence.

Baby is more intimate. Sometimes it’s teasing, and sometimes it’s serious, but it’s always affectionate.

TK had tried darlin' once and promptly made a face and admitted he didn't have the drawl he needed to pull that off.

Sweetheart is only ever for the two of them, soft and private.

Always Carlos, unadorned, when TK wants to be sure Carlos is listening, when TK needs to be sure that Carlos understands that what he's saying is important.

Hearing TK say babe now is a relief. TK wouldn't be using it if things were broken.

Chapter 11

TK still looks troubled. “I don’t want to lose you to this. I don’t want you to let this eat at you. I get that you want answers, but what happens if you can’t get them? When do you stop looking?”

“Not yet,” he snaps. “It’s barely been a week, and nobody else seems to even be asking the question, let alone looking for an answer. He deserves better than that. He gave his entire life to the Rangers, don’t they owe him something in return?”

“Carlos, no.” And TK’s words are gentle, but his tone is sharp, sharper than TK usually is. “Your dad lived for his family, not for his job. At the funeral, the people who showed up came for your mom, for your sisters, for you, because your dad’s legacy isn’t his work, it’s his family. Don’t take that away from him.”

Weekend WIP Game

Thank you for tagging me @welcometololaland @alrightbuckaroo and @lemonlyman-dotcom!

Rules: List your WIPs below (if you only write one fic at a time, feel free to include future WIPs/ideas!) then answer the following questions. Then, tag as many people as you have WIPs (or more).

WIP List:

I have A LOT of ideas. As for things that are actually in progress, I have 4:

TK Project: My project for TK Strand Turns 30. I've been working on this for a few weeks now and should be wrapping up either this weekend or early next week. I'm pretty happy with how it's turning out!

A special project that I'm not going to say anything more about here but will be posted in the first week of November.

TK Babe/Baby, a project using my comically large hoop that will feature quotes of every time TK calls Carlos babe or baby--this one has a complete pattern, a hoop all ready to go, and even a single letter stitched in the center so I know where to start. I'll probably start working on it in earnest over the holidays.

Lone Star Christmas Ornaments--so far I've created one pattern for "Catan is spicy." I want to make at least 2-3 other ones.

Then I also have a variety of ideas, some fairly concrete, others vague notions that require more development and simply exist in a list in the notes app on my phone:

Wise Ass/Lollipop--a Gwyn quote from 2x01, heavily inspired by suggestion from @lemonlyman-dotcom--I haven't made the pattern yet, but it's pretty much fully formed in my head.

The third in my Loft Series--so far I've done one involving the bedroom and one involving the dining area. The third will be the same level of detail as the dining area one but involve the loft entrance, couch, table behind the couch, etc. I need a quote for it and I'm thinking possibly "Welcome home, TK" but I have a couple other ideas too. This pattern will likely take a few hours to create and it's something I'm excited to get working on either in November or maybe during the time off I have at the end of December.

A Carlos Project that would be a companion piece to my current TK Project. I have a list of ideas for it on my phone, but that's as far as I've gotten.

A Lou the First cross stitch with the quote "You brought a flesh-eating reptile into our home?!"

Another Lou one that's kind of ridiculous but I would love to do it if I could pull it off. It would be "He wasn't eating it. He was just...hanging out" with a little Lou poking out of a leg 😂

The fourth in my Loft Series--I want something involving Carlos' punching bag and TK's salad from 3x11. That's as far as I've gotten.

Then I have a variety of quotes that just feel like they should be cross stitches but I haven't thought of solid ideas to go with them (and if anyone has ideas, I would love to hear them!):

Marjan's quote "I'm allergic to poor leadership."

Judd's quote "I wasn't even me 'til I met you."

"Hi. You're TK. I'm Carlos. And we're soulmates." (this one is part of the TK Project, but I think it also deserves its own)

"If I'm your friend from work, then what we did this morning was very unprofessional."

"When you're in yoga clothes, I'm not a very good talker."

"In this house, we Catan."

"Tyler, can I say yes now?"

2. Which WIP is your most complex?

Of the ones I'm actively working on, the TK Project is the most complex. Of the planned future WIPs, it would probably be the third in the loft series, as it's intended to have the same level of detail as the loft dining area piece I recently finished. That one was definitely the most complex I've done up until this point.

3. Do any of your WIPs involve you using a technique/style that you haven't used before? What inspired you to try it?

The ones I've listed really don't, but I do have some vague ideas of branching out into some Lone Star embroidery. I'd need to come up with the right idea for it, but it's something I might try working with when I have time off over the holidays.

4. Which WIP do you expect will take you the longest?

Of the ones I'm actively working on, TK Babe/Baby will definitely take the longest. It will probably take at least 4-5 weeks to complete once I really get going with it.

5. Which WIP are you finding the most enjoyable to create?

I'm really loving the TK Project. It's made up of a bunch of little images and quotes, so it's really fun to see it come together as I complete each individual section.

6. Do you have a favourite character to draw/stitch/paint/depict? Are they in many of your WIP projects?

The majority of my projects are TK/Carlos/Tarlos related due to the fact that I often think of little else.

7. Which WIP do you experience the most self-doubt about. Why?

The loft entrance/third in my Loft Series definitely gives me the most self-doubt. Mostly because it will be a detailed pattern. I'm still fairly new to pattern creation on that level.

8. Have any of your WIPs been struck by the curse of creator's block?

I haven't had any stitcher's block yet, thankfully. I've been stitching non-stop since April and, as I've made clear here, I still have more ideas than I can handle!

9. Do any of your WIPs contain characters outside the main ship? How are you finding creating those?

My first two projects were the Lone Star logo and an Owen quote. Every other one, including the WIPs that I'm actively working on, has been TK/Carlos/Tarlos related. So I guess I don't branch out from that main ship much! I would like to in the future, and a couple on my ideas list do involve quotes from other characters.

10. What emotions are you hoping to convey through your WIPs?

Mostly the joy and love I experience through Lone Star and Tarlos.

11. Are there any features/details you are finding challenging in your WIPs?

A challenging element of TK Babe/Baby will be the use of the comically large hoop. It has a 23 inch diameter so I can only stitch with it while sitting on my bed because I need somewhere spacious to rest the hoop otherwise my arms get too tired.

12. Which WIP has the most complex shading/colouring?

Probably the loft entrance, the third in my Loft Series. The thing that I think will be the most challenging is the couch, particularly managing to show the shape and dimensions of it properly. I'm not sure how I'm going to get it to look right, but I'm looking forward to messing around with it with my pattern making software. I'm not particularly skilled or experienced with using color gradients to show shadows/dimensions, but I guess I'm going to have to learn!

13. Which WIP has the most complex background?

Same as the last answer, since pretty much the whole thing will be background.

14. Which WIP do you have the highest expectations for?

Again, same answer. I want it to meet the expectations set by the loft dining area piece I recently finished. I was thrilled with how that one turned out, so I really hope I'll be equally satisfied with this one.

15. Do you dream about any of your WIPs?

I don't think I've ever dreamed about cross stitching. I spend so much time doing it that it seems like I would have by now, though.

16. Do any of your WIPs have particular complexities that your other art doesn't?

The TK Project involves several French Knots, which is a different type of stitch that can be very finicky. @reasonandfaithinharmony knows what I mean!

17. Are any of your WIPs commissions?

I haven't done any commissions so far. It's not something I'm necessarily opposed to, so if someone is interested, feel free to dm me and we can talk about it! I just have a lot of my own ideas to work through and cross stitch generally takes a pretty long time to complete, so anyone looking for commissions would need to be ok with waiting a while. Also, I might be willing to mail some of my previously finished pieces to anyone who's interested (due to the unfortunate cost of shipping, this is probably going to have to be limited to people in the US and Canada). There are some that I'm not willing to part with, but I think I've almost reached display capacity, even with many finished projects stored in a box under my bed, so it might be nice for some of the others to find a home.

18. Do you have a character that is more difficult to draw/stitch/paint/depict? Are they in many of your WIP projects?

The majority of my projects so far have been centered on quotes. I don't think any one character is more or less difficult to depict in that way. However, I have run into one issue like that...one of my future ideas is for a Carlos Project that's a companion to my current TK Project. I'm finding it a lot more difficult to come up with ideas for little images and quotes to represent Carlos than it was for TK. One problem might be that I'm reluctant to go stitching a bunch of cop imagery.

19. Tell us one thing we don't know about one or more of your WIPs.

The stitched portion of TK Babe/Baby will be about 16 inches x 15 inches in size.

If the third in the Loft Series is anything like the loft dining area piece, it will probably take me somewhere around 80-100 hours of work to complete.

I feel like everyone has been tagged, but I'm going to follow the directions and tag 11 people, one for each of my listed WIPs: @tellmegoodbye @ladytessa74 @im-overstimulated-and-im-sad @carlos-tk @inkweedandlizards @rosedavid @thebumblecee @reasonandfaithinharmony @redshirt2 @louis-ii-reyes-strand @carlos-in-glasses

(And here's the original post that has the questions for writers if you need that!)
