Seducing the Gem (Nash Wells x Reader, Chapter 9/9)
Rating: M (Smut in Chapter 6 only)
Summary: When a mysterious package shows up at your front door, you (a famous Romance novelist) are hurtled from your virtually uneventful life and into one of danger and adventure. In a quest to save your captured friend Caitlin from impending harm, you run into a suave adventurer named Nash who helps you along the way. Or is the charming Nash simply after something in your possession…?
Tag List: @tardis-23​ @thecaptainsgingersnap​ @the-marvelatic​ @itsprongs​
Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Chapter 4 | Chapter 5 | Chapter 6 | Chapter 7 | Chapter 8
A/N: This is the end, folks! Thank you to everyone who has read this fun little series. It was a blast to do. And once more, so many thanks to @mintchipcupcake​ for beta-ing for me x
Tumblr media
You play with the tiny silver star hanging around your neck as you look out of Iris’ office. It’s the only thing you have left from your adventure to know it was real. To know Nash was real.
That, and stylized occurrences inside your newest manuscript.
Iris finishes reading your work at her desk. She turns the final page and releases an impressed exhale.
“(Y/N),” she says, “I’m not just saying this because you’re my friend, but this is by far the best book you’ve written.”
You smile graciously. “Thanks, Iris.”
“You’ve never turned in anything that quickly before, either.”
“Yeah, it just… came out, I guess.” It was pretty easy once you sat down at your laptop after everything that had happened. The words - your soul - poured out onto the page. This novel is an ode, an homage, a tribute to the man who stole nothing but your heart.
You wonder where he is now. What he’s doing. How he is.
“-And wow, I mean, that ending!” Iris continues her praise. “Where Cash sails off into the sunset, but they’re reunited when…”
You cross your arms, effectively tuning Iris out at this point. You can’t bear to hear the ending you’d written in your own ears. The obligatory happy ending. The kind that readers expect. The kind that sells.
“Yeah…” you say, “I guess I was inspired.”
“Well, (Y/N), this now more than ever proves you are a world-class hopeless romantic.”
“No. Hopeful,” you remind her (or is it remind yourself?). “Hopeful romantic,” your voice cuts out on you. Iris gives you a much-needed hug.
“I’m sorry to have to do this, but I have another meeting with a new client,” she informs you, at the same time not wanting your meeting to end. “Another romance writer, actually. Fresh out of the gates, too.”
“Do I know them?” you wonder aloud.
“No, but you will. Their name is Rebecca Silver.”
You’ll have to keep an eye out for this up and coming writer...
The walk home is much colder than usual. Leaves blow along the sidewalk and tumble in your path as you hunch your shoulders up at the brisk air. This day calls for a hot, celebratory beverage.
Sometimes you have this feeling that when you arrive home from an outing that you’ll be greeted with a disaster like the one that threw you into the crazy ride you’ll never forget. But it’s been months since then, and nothing of the sort has happened again. Your life is back to being peaceful and virtually uneventful.
You toss your keys onto your kitchen counter and grab a mug from the cabinet. But when you turn around, a swirling blue hole appears in the middle of the living room. You scream and grab a kitchen knife from the block to defend yourself as a reflex. What the hell is happening?
But what you see makes you drop the knife. It clangs loudly on your kitchen tiles.
A tall man, with rugged good-looks and gadgets strapped to his body steps through the blue hole and into your home.
And back into your heart.
“Nash?!”
“It’s been a while, Princess.”
It’s him, it’s really him! And, is that an ape climbing up onto his shoulder?
“Oh my God!” you cry and run into his open arms. He holds onto you fiercely, smiling into your hair. “You’re here! What-?” You can’t even process your hundreds of thoughts properly.
“Remember our little buddy?” He motions to the bouncing gorilla, who seems to have grown a bit since you last saw him. “He’s a good little sidekick, believe it or not. His name’s Grodd.”
You hold your hand out to little Grodd for him to sniff. He makes a glad waaahhh sound, so you give him a friendly scratch.
“I’ve missed you,” Nash says, pure blue eyes sparkling with such life and happiness as he watches you. “I couldn’t stop thinking about you.”
“I’ve missed you, too. So much,” you tell him. “You’re all I’ve thought about since…” He pulls back from you in your embrace, but only so that he can take you all in. It seems to be just as much of a surprise to him seeing you now.
Grodd jumps down from his shoulder to explore the foreign area.
“I read some of your books so I could have a part of you with me,” Nash divulges. “Read some of your more spicier works…”
You giggle at that, and the adventurer spins you around and officially kisses you hello. It’s similar to the way he kisses goodbye. You sigh against his dreamy pink lips, biting your own to suppress your wild smile.
“But how are you here?” you ask. “And what was that? That blue thing?”
“Ah, that would be Martin’s Trans-Dimensional Navigational System,” he explains. “He managed to harness the dark matter from the gem’s ore to create this.” Nash shows you the little circular device with a button, flipping it in his hand. “It’s a breach. A portal into other worlds. Other Earths.”
“So, there really are other worlds?”
Nash presses the button on the piece of tech, initiating the glowing blue matter before you once more. He whistles to summon his animal companion, who bounds back dutifully. The adventurer offers his hand to you and grins.
“Care to find out?”
You take his hand without even a second thought.
“You better believe it.”

😊😱🤗💕 I'm throwing this right back at you for Blair, Amikel, Veronica, and Gabriel!! Love you!!
Thank you, love!!!! Love you too! 💓😘 Sorry it took me so long!!! Gabriel and Veronica really made me think...(actually a few of them did.)
😊 - something that makes your character smile?
Blair: Honestly, it’s rather easy to make her smile. Bringing her a fresh cup of coffee is a good way to go. She’s always up for one and those who know her, know her coffee order like the back of their hand. And it’s usually H.R. Wells, Cisco, or Caitlin that’s grabbing her some. Iris will when she’s around (or needs help on something she’s working on--bribes are sometimes legal, okay?), or Barry will be thoughtful and grab one if he knows he’s going to see her. Being around Leonard and Mick makes her smile too, she’s grown fond of those guys.
Amikel: Can you guess? Alcohol! That’s right, that girl smiles when yo bring her a good bottle or glass, because that means you’re trying to be in her good graces, and she can never say no to a free bottle of booze. Grogu doing shenanigans is also a thing that makes her smile, because it’s so damn amusing to her. She’s a bad influence. I’m not sure who makes Din sigh more.
Veronica: Music and stealing. There are a few things, but hanging out with friends is a go-to. She enjoys her time with Dick and Jason at the manor when she’s younger (and older, let’s be honest here). Alice also amuses the hell out of her, because she’s not at all like Harley, and it’s just...V can’t help but be mildly amused. Something that really did make her smile was helping Jason work on his bike in the Cave. Dick trying to make her smile with his light teasing will do it too, no matter how hard she fights it. 
Gabriel: Playing on his guitar or going for drives(either in his Mustang or on his bike.) He smiles slightly to himself when he does that, especially if he’s alone or thinks no one is looking. He does little light chuckle and small smirk thing, and then looks down at his feet when someone makes a joke or says something he just finds funny. But seeing other people smile usually does it, especially if he really cares about that person. 
😱 - something that makes your character afraid?
Blair: It terrifies the hell out of her when the people close to her are in immediate and serious danger, where their lives are very much in the balance. Her losing control of her powers scares her too, because she can become the very thing that hurts, or even kills, her friends. Both of those things have kept her up at night, mostly because she’s witnessed them firsthand. And let me just tell you, Blair doesn’t handle either of those things very well.
Amikel: At first, despite finding it a bit amusing, it’s Grogu’s gift or powers. It’s easy to assume Amikel is nothing but a washed up bounty hunter/assassin who drinks constantly...but she’s a smart person, calculating, and she doesn’t know what it is; she just knows that it’s got to be something bigger. And that terrifies her. Bigger means more trouble, and the last thing she wants is more trouble for herself, Din, or Grogu. Later of course, that fear only grows as they learn more.
Veronica: She will obviously say she’s not afraid of anything. But honestly, she’s scared that she won’t work past her anger or be any better than where she came from. She loves Selina dearly, and is thankful for everything she’s ever done. But she doesn’t want the Catwoman mantle when that time comes, she doesn’t want to be known as a Rogue, or to be a criminal. Is she an antihero? For most of her teen years and some of her young adult years, yes. But she almost kills Scarecrow...it shook her enough to realize that if she didn’t leave...she was doomed to be nothing but a criminal eventually. Veronica is terrified she won’t overcome that.
Gabriel: So...he’s afraid that all he’ll ever be good at is being a criminal, and once he gets his powers, he’s afraid that he’s also only meant to hurt people. There’s a lowkey belief that if he uses it, that it means that he’s meant for bad things because fire is so destructive...he’s seen that first hand. It’s all he’s good at. And add that to the fear of his sister never accepting him again: whether it’s because of the life of crime he had chosen or the meta powers he had gained. That bridge is burned severely (pun somewhat intended--its late, please don’t judge.) Gabriel worries that there’s no redemption for him (but we all know that Wally won’t let that happen, don’t we?)
🤗 - something that makes your character feel warm and fuzzy?
Blair: Literal fuzzy socks and warm sweaters...I’m not even kidding. You will find her (well, she surely hopes you won’t) in her underwear (pajama bottoms--shorts or pants alike) with a warm sweater and thick fuzzy socks. Most of the time with a cup of coffee or hot cocoa in her hands. But honestly, it’s when Leonard does things to show affection. He has a habit of uh...tapping her nose quickly with the tip of his finger. And that actually started out as something taunting, sarcastic, and somewhat patronizing, because Leonard is Leonard. But it grew to something he’ll do when she’s troubled or too focused on something and frustrated. It’s also words of affirmation. Especially from Leonard, Wells, Martin, Oliver, and Barry. Even Mick, if I’m being honest. It’s a nice reminder that she’s cared for and it always makes her feel good.
Amikel: The moments where Din is being a soft dad with Grogu or when Grogu is being absolutely adorable (when isn’t he, though?) She won’t admit it at all, and she might shoot you (or throw a bottle at your head) if you dare say a word about it. But Amikel hasn’t had family in a long time, that’s the closest thing she’s had and having her childhood friend back? They make her feel like she’s part of a family and is cared for. 
Veronica: There are moments that she gets with Dick when they’re younger where they would just hang out on the rooftops of buildings in Gotham. It was like they were in their own little world back then, it made her feel like she had a friend that understood at least some of what she went through. They would often sit on the edge and eat from one of their favorite pizza spots in Gotham, and every time she passes it, it makes her remember it fondly. So, usually going out for pizza is a go-to with her other friends when she’s older, and she will actually take some pizza and sit on a rooftop on her own, too, on a good night on patrol. 
Gabriel: His mother’s homemade meals and positive reinforcement. He’s definitely rough on the outside, but he’s soft on the inside and appreciates affection from the people close to him. Blair rustling his hair (which he moans about--but secretly likes it) or pulling him into a hug, Mick giving him a rare slap on the shoulder, or anything of that nature will make him feel a bit warm because that’s validation he wants. But celebrating his culture (with or without his family) is something that always makes him feel like a kid again, and if he’s not with his family, it makes it feel like he’s with them anyway. 
💞 - something that makes your character feel loved?
Blair: When people pay attention to the little things. Most people don’t really catch most of the things she rambles about when it comes to her work, sometimes it can be hard to understand, but when people remember little details (even if they don’t understand), it makes her feel they care about her and her passions. Like how Leonard throws in how he’s paying attention or when her parents were always supportive of her scientific endeavors. Even having her science nerd friends get on board and show interest in her work means a lot to her. Actions are a big thing too, because that girl is oblivious at times, but actions speak louder than words (so Leonard can be as smooth and sarcastic as he wants, what she notices is him saving her ass on missions.)
Amikel: It’s really hard to explain, so I hope this comes out making sense, but it’s a bit complicated with her, so bear with me. Obviously you have the moments with Grogu where his attachment to her is apparent--that’s the easy answer. With Din, it’s different, and I know this might sound weird, but its his trust in her and treats her like a partner. Amikel doesn’t have the best reputation, and honestly, she’s not a very trustworthy person with the line of work she usually does. She’s not one to be fully without honor, but she’s also...well, she’s had a bounty on her head once or twice herself. So his trust in her as a partner and to trust her with the kid? Yeah, that hits a certain way.
Veronica: It’s when someone makes her feel seen. Veronica is perceived as a lot of things, some true, some not so much. There’s more to her than that, though, and it’s overseen, or she hides it more often than not. So when someone sees her despite all of that? It makes her heart race. And let me tell you, Dick Grayson sees right through her and always has (listen, he’s a damn good detective, alright? Give the boy some credit.) It makes her feel vulnerable, but in a good way when it’s with someone she trusts and loves in return, bot from friends and significant others. Alice and others making it a thing where they
Gabriel: He’s a pretty affectionate person past the hard exterior, so kisses on his cheek or forehead, and hugs (any of these could be platonic or romantic) are something that really hits him in the feels. But it’s when you make him feel...like something more, and you show that you’re not ashamed of him. It makes him feel truly loved when people can look past the criminal piece (because boy is trying to turn a new leaf--to show he’s more than the self destructive nature he’s seen as) and see him as someone worth something. Someone that cares for him for who he is and doesn’t try to make him be something he’s not, and just being there for him and believing in him. As for the affectionate piece, he loves it when you show it openly, unafraid of expressing that you care about him, despite what others feel (he’s got a bit of a rep for you know...being a criminal: thief, arsonist, hired muscle, and he dabbles in illegal street racing...he has a resume apparently...)

EST (Part 1)
word count: 2204
WARNINGS: Drugs and Language 
Please bear with my typographical and grammatical errors. 
Tumblr media
"Hello Colson, it's nice to see you again. How are you?" Dr. Martin greeted but my mind is somewhere.
"Colson?" She waved her hand and that's when I am cut off from my train of thoughts. "Sorry. I'm....good." She gave me a troubled smile.   Dr. Martin is my therapist and will be my only therapist. She's Pete's therapist when he was in rehab and he recommended me when I came to realization that I need to get my shit together. I was hesitant at first cause she is a female but Pete convince me to try trust another female aside from Ashleigh and other close girls from my circle. Dr. Martin was patient since the start, she understand how fucked up I am. I've  been trying to get help but after one session I give up. "So what happened?" She look at her charts. Our sessions were smooth. She got me to trust her and I've never felt relief than ever. "I.....well I tried being sober for a day. No alcohol, weed, coccaine, just cigarettes." I tried. But the day felt long without my poisons. "Okay, how did you feel?" I spaced out for a moment. "It was horrible. It felt like a year but it wasn't so bad. I felt myself " Dr. Martin nodded. "Uhuh. I know it's hard to get out from those habits Colson, but take it slow, the process is not overnight. For example, make a list of those habits and cross one out if you haven't done or take one in a day." I really wanted to be better so I'll give it a try though I can't live without those sometimes. "Okay. Next how about you? I mean you? Not your habits." Me? How am I really? "I......don't know doc, yesterday when I was sober I realized how lonely I was. All I want is a someone who understands me. Sees me as Colson not MGK. Someone who stays despite how fucked up I am. Listens to me when I rant. Takes care of me when I'm sick, holds my hand when I'm fighting my demons, tells me about her day. And loves me unconditionally." I sighed. Fuck this mommy issues. Dr. Martin put down the chart she's holding. "You know what, I remeber the nun said to me before. We are so focused and fixed to what we want  that we didn't realize it was already given to us but in a different package. Anyways, that's all for now. I'll see you on thursday." I shake hands with Dr. Martin and left her clinic. What does she mean by that? I shrug it off.
I got home with groceries. It's me being sober cause I realized I don't have anything in my fridge but booze. "Colson, where have you---ohh." Ashleigh was shock to see me holding a bunch of grocery bags. "Uhm need a little help Ash." Ashleigh helped me with some, putting all the bags on the kitchen counter. "I can't believe this." She mumbled but I heard. "What? Is it bad? I don't have anything in my fridge." Ashleigh shook her head in disbelief. "Whatever. Okay, I already arranged your schedule the whole off tour is yours and then I booked a trip to Germany. We're all having a break." I look at her intently. Ashleigh's been my manager for almost 10 years and I couldn't be who am I right now if she didn't let me stay in their home. "Thanks Ash. You're the best." I hug her she hugs me back. "Colson, you're creeping me out. Are you dying?" I laughed. As in laugh hard. "No....oh my god. I'm just sober." Ashleigh smiled in relief. "This is me saying thank you for staying." A tear dropped fron the corner of her eye, she wiped it off and slaps my arm. "Stop it. Of course I know how fucked up you are and you can be. We're family here." I hug her again and we begin to put the items in place.
--------- "Ash. It's okay, I'll do it." Ash is everywhere with her phone calling everyone to cancel my appearance in redfest.
"Dude. You can't even get up. It's your health that matters." Slim scolded me. All of the EST family are here.
"I feel better now. We didn't travel overseas just to cancel." I force myself to get up. When I can manage they all nodded. Ash is on her phone again.
"Dude. Are you sure?" Rook taps my shoulder. "God damn it, it's just sore throat and fever." But it's not just sore throat and fever. It's my body reacting without drugs. I am tempted to take some line of coke but I remember I'm clean for 3 days. "Rest dude. We still have 3 hours, don't worry about everything we got it." Slim patted my back. "Thanks." I slept the whole afternoon and Nicole my PA woke me up when its. "Na ah. Chill, don't get up yet. There's plenty of time." Nicole is a very efficient assistant of mine, she's the longest assistant I had so far plus we don't have that sexual tension unlike my past assistants. She's nice and chill so we don't have a problem getting along, she's more like a sister to me.  "I'm fine, I feel better now."  She just shook her head. "Ashleigh strictly told me to take care of you while they take care of everything. So chill." She left the room and comes back later with a tray. "And you need to eat stubborn ass or you won't have energy for later." The tray contains a mac n' cheese, fajita and a soup.  "I'll eat, now go away."  She didn't budge and stayed on her place. Whatever, I let her be and I feasted on my food. The food tastes bland, maybe because I'm sick but I force myself to eat. Nicole played mother hen and took care of me, she even gave me an energy drink.  "Drink this, instead of snorting some angel dust later." I uttered thanks and drink the drink. I feel better afterwards but I'm still sick and I think I'm going to puke. "Okay time for your make over." I got up from bed and went to backstage to change, the show is starting at 8 so I make it all quick. Everyone's busy in the backstage since it's not just me but Noah, Thugger and the others are also here too. "Kells! You okay now?" Noah went to me and greeted me with our handshake. "I feel like shit but I'm good."
The show started and Thugger hyped the crowd, thank god he's here and the crew or I'll be damned. Noah appeared also after Thugger and then it's my turn.
The show was hard and I almost forgot I'm not feeling well. I ran backstage after the encore, hyperventilating and nauseous, Rook ran after me and help me through the way. One of the crew placed an oxygen mask while I'm half running to the comfort room. I relaxed my breathing before removing the mask and puke my guts out.
"That's nasty." Rook commented but I just flip him off. I puke all the contents I ate in dinner and everything is yellow. Drei massaged my back while I puke and I couldn't thank him enough for that.  "God damn you Colson and your stubborn ass." I really wanted to lay on my bed. I feel  sicker every minute.   "Kells. I got you." Didn't knew Noah followed us here. She has towel already and some wipes. She helped me clean my self and wrapped the towel around me. I'm half naked by the way. "Where the fuck is Nicole, you aren't supposed to be here." Noah just rolled her eyes. "Shut it. Just be glad a lot of people cares for you." Everyone went to an after party that night while me I chose to stay in my bed and sleep.
---
"Colson! Thank god you answered!" Halsey called the next morning. I feel better now. "What? Are you scolding me too?" I can imagine her rolling her eyes. "Of course! You should take care of your self! And I know you're stubborn and won't listen so I won't make anymore fuss about it. Anyways I'm in Australia with Evan. And guess what???? We're official!" I giggled at her enthusiasm, it's good to hear and see that she's happy with him. "Oh really? That's good to hear. We'll see each other when we're in LA. I'm happy for you Ash. Really." My past with Ashley/ Halsey was rough at the start, we're good now though and that's how look for each other telling about our days. "Okay when are you coming back?" We're on our flight to LA now. "Well we've check in already. I'll text you when I'm at the states." Our flight's being called and everyone settled already. "Okay cool. Bye." The flight from Dubai to LA took 16 hours and I realized I hated flights.
-----
We arrived at LA at 12 noon the next day, everyone was exhausted and went to their own places. I was left alone in my house. I just lay there on my couch thinking of what happened these past few days when my doorbell rang. For sure it's just Slim or Rook forgetting something. They have their own keys so I don't know why they use the doorbell. "I swear to god Rook if you're just going to ann--" I opened the door but no one is outside. I shrugged it off, maybe someone from the neighborhood just messing around. I'm about to close the door when someone popped out from nowhere. "Hi....hi oh my god wait." A girl maybe around 9 or 10? I dunno she's tall for 9 or 10, maybe 11? "Hello. Uh sorry can't entertain fans right now. I'm not in the mood. Does your parents know you're here?" Tsk young fans can be agressive sometimes. This is not the first time.
"Uhm no. Actually one of my parent lives here. " I look around if her parent's house is just around. "Uh from what block?"  I asked again. The kid might be selling girls' scout cookies. "Right in this house. Hi dad." She lunged me with a hug. "I'm Casie by the way I'm your daughter." She said happily. I pulled her away from me. "Hey dude. I don't know who your parents are but I'm sure it's not me. " I laughed awkwardly. This kid is crazy, no one pops out of nowhere proclaiming they're my child. Man I should get used to this. The kid pull something out from her bag. An envelope.
"What's this?" I asked when she hand it to me.  "That's the proof that I am your kid." She shrug as if it's not a big deal. I open the paper and read all it's content searching for any discrepancy to prove she is not my kid. But there's nothing, it was stated in the document that I am the father. How the hell could this happened?  "Is this a prank? Am I in some tv show or what?" I asked and scanned the area if there's any camera hidden. You gotta be serious, this ain't funny.  "Do I look like I'm kidding? Okay, my mom is Emma she's from Cleveland and you two met at a Blink 182 song concert. Then poof! You had me."
Emma?? Wait what the fuck? Emma? As in Emma Cannon? "Shi----Shoot. Get inside kid." I let her in before someone sees or hear us. "Wait here and eat that." I offered her the pizza we brought home. I went to the kitchen to call Ashleigh. "Ashleigh! Oh my god I know we're all tired but what I will tell you will make your tiredness go away." I heard a baby's cry on the background, must be Ashton. "What is it kells? It's better be important." Ash sounds like she just woke up from a nap. "I have a kid. A daughter." Silence.  
"What the fuck is that a joke? You called just for that?" I can tell she's pissed off but I am not joking right now. "I am not joking Ash. A kid showed up with documents, plus she's claiming Emma to be her mother." I heard her sigh. "Are you sure it's not some fan? Or a prank? Are the documents legal?" I rolled my eyes. "I'm stupid but I'm not dumb. So get your ass here and tell the others." I hang up before she can answer. I went back to the living room and the kid is still sitting there. "How did you got here?" I asked.  
"Does your mother know you're here? And how old are you?" I met Emma 11 years ago so this kid must be around 10. "I'm 10, my school is just around here in LA, I'm in a boarding school by the way." She didn't answer my question but that explains why she's in LA. Why the hell Emma let her in a boarding school? She's just 10. "Mum visits me weekly, so no worries." Damn now I have a kid.

Sympathizers Part 2
“What’s wrong?” It had been Ren who finally initiated it, finally addressing what had been wrong the moment they were alone. He inched closer to her in the bed, and Stela pulled away. “You’re mad at me.” Mad was one way of putting it, not wrong, but it didn’t capture how hurt she was, either. The knot of betrayal that had lodged itself firmly where her heart should have been. “I brought you here to help,” she said, refusing to look at him. “Not turn against me the second someone brings up fascism to you.” “I’m not turning on you,” Ren insisted, moving closer to her. She moved away from him, this time just climbing out of the bed and finally facing him. He followed her lead, standing to his full height. “I just don’t think they’re wrong. If they’re going to build up this planet, they need efficiency. Which is something the New Republic and its way lacks.” “You’d have them sell themselves into slavery just because it’s quicker,” she said. “I think I’ll sleep somewhere else tonight. I don’t even want to look at you.” “You’re being unreasonable,” Ren said. “I don’t have to agree with you on everything.” Stela swallowed, fighting the tears that threatened to come to her eyes. She thought he had understood years ago. Apparently not. “You’re right,” she said. “You don’t. But look me in the eye, right here and now, and tell me I deserve everything the First Order and its predecessors did to me. Because that’s what you’ve been doing all day.” “Stela-” “Do you honestly think it would be better?” She asked. “If the First Order had won, do you think we’d have half of we have now? The Cadets would all be soldiers, if they were lucky. Martin would be dead. Do you honestly think Snoke would have let you keep Padme?” “I’m not talking about Snoke!” Ren snarled, cutting her off. Stela grit her teeth and snarled back at him. “Yes you are!” She said, taking a step closer to him. She couldn’t do anything about his height, but she could show she wasn’t afraid by invading his space. For what it was worth, Ren stepped back a fraction. “You are because that’s all you know! Who else would they be trying to emulate, Ren? Hux? The Emperor? Who’s supposed to be your great benevolent tyrant?” “Someone like you,” he said, his voice tinged with desperation. She was cracking through his argument, she knew it. “Someone like my mother. Someone who won’t abuse the power.” “People like us don’t want this power,” Stela countered. “And even if we did, there’s not enough of us. Put me in charge, your mother in charge, and who comes after us? You would buy an eternity of oppression with a single lifetime of benevolence. That’s not a price I’m willing to pay. Never again.” “Instead you would rather the wheels of bureaucracy grind everyone to dust,” he said. “Would rather the big trample the small underfoot.” “People are going to be trampled no matter what, Ren,” she said. “At least the bureaucracy can slow it down. Nothing stops a tyrant once he decides you’re worth nothing.” She turned away from him, crossing her arms over her chest. That bitter ache was still there, turning poisonous, and she wanted to hurt him. Wanted to tear him down. “I wish James were here instead of you.” She meant here with her, physically, helping talk to these men instead of Ren. It had been a mistake to bring him, she should have known better. James had joined their plight thanks to genuine sympathy for the oppressed. Ren had left the Order because it had ground him so far into the dirt he had no other options. Ren could never be her ally in this, not the way James could have been. That wasn’t what Ren had heard, though. To his ears, it sounded as though Stela was wishing to rewrite everything, with James instead. From the corner of her eye she could see the tension leave his frame, the limp way his hands hung at his side as he swayed slightly, as though her words had been a physical blow. It ached nearly as bad as his betray had, and she turned to face him. “I didn’t mean it,” she said. He worked his mouth, as though he was trying to chew and swallow his emotions. His wet, doe-eyed gaze stared at her, as if to say Yes you did. “Take the bed,” he said at last. “I can find somewhere else to sleep.” Something about his words, and the dark way the Force coiled around him, panicked her. He turned to head for the door, and she reached out. “Wait,” she said, sure that if she let him leave, let him step through that door, that neither she, nor anyone, would ever see him alive again.
Ren was tense, the muscles in his arm where she’d grabbed him bunched and coiled, and she could feel him shaking with the strain of it. He was hurt, hurt so badly by her words and Stela hated herself for saying them. She hated herself for the way she had said them.
Stela did wish that James was there, he would know what to do, would know how to talk to the men. James had been charismatic to a fault, a skill he’d needed given his Imperial upbringing—he’d had to win over the other natives of Depredador long before he’d needed to win her over. And he’d managed to do both, spectacularly, so Stela was certain that he would have been able to make some sort of progress with the First Order here.
But Stela didn’t mean that she wanted him instead of Ren. She missed James, absolutely, she loved him and it was impossible not to miss the people you love, but that didn’t mean she wanted a different life. It didn’t mean that she wanted James over Ren.
“I’m sorry.” She offered, first and foremost, because it needed to be said before Stela could even begin to explain anything else. “I really, absolutely am.”
She didn’t know if he was currently receptive to her own Force signature, but she hoped so. Hoped he could feel how genuinely remorseful she was.
“That was a poor choice of words, and I shouldn’t have said them.” Stela added, still so afraid of releasing her grip on him.
If she did, she feared, he would disappear in the night and he would be gone forever.
Stela wouldn’t be able to bear that.
“But you meant them, either way.” Ren shot back, sharp and bitter, venomous.
He wanted to hurt her in the same way that she hurt him, and Stela really couldn’t find too much fault in that at the moment.
“But not like that.” She pressed. “And I mean it. I just—“ She made a frustrated noise, her free hand miming an explosion by her head. “I’ve just been so damn frustrated, kriff. These people, and you were supposed to be helping me not chumming it up with them.”
“I’m hurt.” She continued. “That’s not an excuse to be nasty, that isn’t a reason to be mean, and to hurt you like I did. I’m so sorry that I did say that, but kriff you being here has been making things worse, and harder, and yeah I regret asking you to come because—well!”
Because she had started out excited to be working with him, to be sharing this with him and getting him out of the house, but everything was unravelling and it was breaking her heart.
Stela surged forward, her other hand coming to take his hand, gripping it tight and pressing it to her heart. “I love you. I adore you. And I know that we have some fundamental, likely irreconcilable differences, but I’ve known that from the get go and I love you in spite of them. Or despite them, I don’t know. But I love you.”
“This was just a bad idea.” The words were quiet, but Ren was speaking, and he hadn’t pulled away yet which she considered a small victory.
His signature settled a bit, still hurt, but not so angry.
“Maybe.” Stela admitted. “But I didn’t want it to be. I wanted this to be a good experience for us.”
“I think that’s fundamentally flawed, given the source content.” Ren offered thinly. “I’m sorry too. I love you.”
“With all of my heart and everything I am.” Stela promised honestly. “There has to be a compromise though. Something better. Something that can make both of us happy.”
Ren nodded, his face looking so drawn and tired. Aged, as though this trip had taken years, and she hated that too. She wasn’t angry anymore, the anger disappeared the moment her words struck through him, and she was tired. She was tired, and hurt, both by what he did and by what she did. More than anything, she just wanted him to hug him and hear him promise that everything would be okay.
“You’re not wrong, in that too much red tape won’t help this planet. But with single leaders? That’s a slippery slope into a corrupt dictatorship. Your mother and I? We’re good because we have our ideals, and because we’ve been on the side of the downtrodden. But sometimes we would go too far—but we’re checked. There can’t be absolute power, Ren. There has to be checks and balances.”
Absolute power corrupted absolutely.
“Do they have to immediately join the New Republic?” Ren asked, thoughtful for a moment. “I mean. The Republic monitors intergalactic relations, but if they just… focus on their own resources? Their own improvement?”
“That’s…” She considered it, gears turning. “No, yeah. Yeah, maybe they’re not ready to be a part of the Republic. Maybe that’s a decision for another time.”
Stela would have liked a stronger push for the planet to join the Republic but…
“And, you’re right too.” He admitted, moving a few steps, not towards the door but to go sit on the bed. Stela followed along, taking a seat next to him. “I mean, those people shouldn’t be in charge. They know how to run a machine, but they’ll just treat people like cogs.”
That admission warmed her, and Stela had to fight the smile. Or maybe she didn’t, and she leaned gently against Ren’s shoulder. “Is this progress?”
“I think it’s that compromise thing married couples keep telling us about.” He offered, wrapping an arm around her. “I’m sorry we’ve done nothing but fight. And no, I don’t think the First Order is better.”
“I believe you.” She sighed. “And I’m sorry too, for what I said. I miss him, but you two aren’t interchangeable. It’s never going to be a matter of either or, you know?”
Ren chewed on his lower lip then. “I… do. I know that. But sometimes it’s hard to believe.”
“I love you.” Stela told him. “I want you to stay here tonight, please?”
She didn’t think Ren was going to run off and kill himself, at least not anymore, but she still wanted him close. Just in case, and because she loved him.
“Yeah.” Ren agreed, gripping her hand. “I love you too.”

Stiles Stilinski knows he loves Lydia Martin on their wedding day.
She’s wearing a white and blue sundress, a blue bow in her bright red locks and with one of his mom’s plastic sunflowers pressed between her small hands. His backyard is full of guests. All her teddy bears and Barbie dolls made it to the biggest event of the afternoon and keep Stiles’ Star Wars action figures company.
She walks slowly, both hands carefully holding the flower he attentively chose for her, smiling brightly towards him. Her eyes move ever so slightly to look at her mom’s encouraging smile before stopping in front of the seven-year-old boy wearing the newest T-shirt his mom had gotten for him.
He looks at his best friend and finds the softest smile on his face. Of course he’s right next to him, standing between Lydia and Stiles, wearing one of Sheriff Stilinski’s favorite ties. That particular one was chosen by Stiles for his birthday and it couldn’t be in better hands than Scott McCall’s.
“We’re all here today to marry Lydia and Stiles,” Scott says, loud enough for their parents and toys to hear him. He then turns to Stiles with an encouraging nod. “Stiles, you can say your vows.”
“I promise to always share my chocolate ice cream with you even when you ate all of yours,” he says, looking at her. “And to always hold your hand when you’re scared of the dark.”
“Now it’s your turn, Lydia.”
“Stiles, I promise to let you sing along to The Little Mermaid movie with me. And to never make you choose between me and Scott. I know you like us both the same.”
“Okay. Now you can put the ring on Lydia’s finger.”
Stiles takes a green plastic ring out of his pocket and holds Lydia’s hand carefully. He looks at his dad hesitantly and his father points to his hand, showing which finger the ring goes on. When the act is complete, he doesn’t let go of her hand.
Scott’s face breaks into a big smile, showing his missing teeth, before announcing:
“You are married. You can kiss now.”
Lydia, always the bravest out of them, takes a step further and kisses Stiles’ cheek. It’s quick and wet, but it makes him smile.
The adults applaud and Stiles looks at his mom. She’s smiling at her son, clapping her hands with enthusiasm as she sends him a look. But not any look. The one she only does when she knows Stiles is keeping a secret.
Stiles Stilinski loves Lydia Martin.
Claudia Stilinski knows.
February 27th, 2003
He’s eight when his mom doesn’t wake up anymore.
Stiles knows she’s been very sick for a long time and that she needs to sleep in the hospital now so they can take care of her, but he’s been patiently waiting for all those noisy machines to make his mom better. He always asks Scott’s mom when his mom will get better, but she never answers. Melissa only looks at him with the kindest eyes, the ones Scott has whenever he’s feeling sad, and holds him gently.
When he asks his father the same thing, he only says the doctors are doing the best they can to make her better. But Stiles knows something is wrong. She’s not getting better. Sometimes she smiles and listens to all his stories or helps him with his drawings, but there are other times where all she does is scream. Scream at people he doesn’t see. Scream at the doctors who are trying to give her the medicine she needs. Scream at him.
She never screamed at him before.
But tonight she isn’t screaming. She’s looking at one of her old photo albums with him. Stiles notices how sometimes she doesn’t remember things, so he gave his dad the idea to show her the pictures to help her with her memory.
The doctors can’t seem to make his mother better. Maybe he can.
“You look very handsome here,” she says quietly, pointing to one of the pictures. Her finger stays still for some time before she moves it to the person next to her son. “Who’s this little girl?”
“That’s Lydia. She’s my best friend, like Scott.” He looks at her, but Claudia doesn’t seem to know who she is. “We’re married, you know.”
“Oh, you are?” That seems to make her smile. “She’s very pretty.”
“She is. And she’s smart too!” he says proudly. “Lydia told me a teacher tried to make her go study with the older kids but she didn’t want to go to a different classroom than me and Scott.”
“Do you like her?” He doesn’t answer. Lydia is his friend and they’re married. But he knows he doesn’t like her the same way he likes Scott. Stiles knows he can’t like two people the same way and, like she promised in her vows, Lydia never made him choose who he liked better. But he didn’t like either of them better. Stiles just liked them in different ways. His mom seems to notice his pensive face. “It’s okay if you do.”
“I think I do. We made Valentine’s day cards for all the girls in my class and hers is the only one I wrote a joke at the end of.” The smile comes back to his face. “She thought it was funny.”
“That’s good, baby.” Her voice starts to fail, but her hand never leaves his back.
“Mom?” He looks at her hesitantly. Stiles knows he’s not supposed to ask, but sometimes it feels like his mouth has a life of its own. “When are you coming home with me and Dad?”
Her face softens, and he can feel her hand gripping his shirt harder — like if she holds him tight enough, this moment will never end.
“I don’t know, honey… I really want to. But the doctors say it’s not time yet.” He looks down, disappointed her answer isn’t what he expected. “But Dad told me you’re doing a good job at home.”
“I always remind dad to buy apples so he can eat them at work.”
“See?” She’s smiling proudly at him. “You’re already a big boy, helping Dad with the shopping list.” He nods, feeling a little better. His mom always knows how to make him feel better. “While I’m here, it’s important you and Dad take care of each other like I do.”
“Okay.”
Stiles knows she’s starting to get tired again, and soon enough she’ll fall asleep, so he closes the photo album and walks over to his backpack. He had decided to save it for when his father came to kiss his wife goodnight and bring him home, but he wants her to see it before she falls asleep again.
Claudia’s eyes take longer to focus on him than usual, but he waits patiently. When they do, he climbs onto her bed again and hands her a pink piece of paper and a red paper flower he made in art class.
The card has a poem he wrote by himself one night when he couldn’t sleep. His dad helped him write without any spelling mistakes and they both signed it at the end.
“Happy Valentine’s day, Mom.”
That is her last good day.
Two weeks later, her eyes close and the machines in her room makes so much noise that they bring doctors running into the room. It’s Melissa who pulls him out of there and sits with him until his father comes running towards them with a worried look on his face.
As he sees the coffin of his mother descending, tears fall from his eyes. He misses her already. Her smile, her eyes, her warm hugs.
He wants her to come back to him immediately. Seeing his father cry at night is too much for him. He cries too and she’s the only one who can make them feel better.
But Stiles knows she won’t. And he’s scared of how things will be without his mom to make everything better.
Lydia notices. She doesn’t let go of his hand the whole afternoon.
September 17th, 2010
They’re fifteen when she kisses him for the first time.
Lydia Martin is the most popular girl in Beacon Hills High School. That’s how it’s been since middle school, and nothing seems to change that. She’s the prettiest, smartest girl in the school and everyone wants to be her friend.
Stiles Stilinski, on the other hand, is not.
Even though he’s one of her best friends, Stiles isn’t popular by association. Or popular at all. People barely speak to him or acknowledges his presence, and everyone wonders why she is friends with him in the first place. They get why she likes Scott. How couldn’t they? Everybody does and he’s the co-captain of the lacrosse team, so it makes sense.
Stiles is also on the lacrosse team, but he doesn’t have the same abilities his best friend acquired over the summer. Even though he would like to be known as something other ‘Lydia’s weird friend’ or ‘the ADHD guy,’ he doesn’t mind that much. Lydia and Scott see him.
And that’s enough for him, if he’s being completely honest.
Except when he’s being dragged by her to one of her boyfriend’s stupid parties.
That’s when he wishes he was actually invisible. Or at least that he didn’t have social anxiety every time he attends a party. Whichever is easier to achieve.
“You have to go, Stiles,” she says, looking through his wardrobe, trying to find something she approves of. “It’s going to be fun, and Scott and I will be with you at least eighty percent of the time, I swear.”
“No, you won’t. You’ll hang with me until your second beer and then you’re going to make out with your boyfriend and I won’t see you until tomorrow.” She rolls her eyes, but doesn’t disagree. “And Scott will have the most respectful flirting conversation with Allison for hoursbefore deciding to hold her hand and maybe, just maybe, dance with her. Do you have any idea how lame it is to be third wheeling those two?”
“According to my sources, they’ll do something a little more outrageous than holding hands tonight.” Stiles sits up straight at her statement, smiling widely. “You tell him and I’ll murder you.”
“I’m so proud of my boy. After everything he put me through to talk to her, I can finally say my job is done.” Lydia’s still not facing him, but he knows she’s smiling. “Can I at least tell him to be a little more… presentable? You know… not to show up covered in mud or something like that?”
“What are you going to suggest?” she asks, pointing to his wardrobe. “Something in the line of fifty shades of plaid?” He stares at her. Plaids are his signature look and it’s suitable for every occasion. Lydia is the only one who doesn’t get that. “Don’t worry about it,” she adds. I already went to his house and left something for him to wear on his bed. My problem here is what youare going to wear.”
“It’s sweet that you think I’m going to a party where I’ll be alone all night being judged by stupid teens who wonder if you’re my friend because of a bet.”
Lydia looks at him with a serious face.
“ What? Where did you hear that? Who said that?” She walks over to her purse and grabs her phone, already furiously texting. “I swear to God, these people…”
“Lydia, it’s fine.” He takes her phone from her hand and puts his hands on her shoulders, looking at her upset eyes.
“No, it’s not. It’s not fair the way they treat you.” She looks at him hesitantly. “You do know I’m not your friend because of a bet, right?” He smiles and holds her.
“Of course I know.” She relaxes in his arms. “You’re my friend because of my good looks and Star Wars knowledge.”
“I’m pretty sure I’m your friend because of convenience.” She looks up at him, smiling. “You know I was only interested in being friends with Scott, right? You just happened to come along.”
“Whatever makes you sleep at night, Martin.”
“Whatever makes you sleep at night.” She bites her lip, looking at him expectantly. “Please come? I promise you’ll have fun tonight.”
He takes an exaggeratedly deep breath, but nods.
“Fine. But I’ll pick out my own clothes.”
It takes exactly forty-five minutes for him to be left alone in the corner of the living room. Scott and Allison moved their routine to somewhere quieter and Stiles had a hard time pretending he didn’t know what was going to happen by the end of his best friend’s night. Lydia hung out with him a little bit longer until her boyfriend required her presence and she left, with a promise it’d take just a minute.
He looks around the room, seeing the drunk people surrounding him as they dance, drink or make out with the person next to them. He’d love to be one of those people, but the probability of him making a fool of himself and, in the end, getting Lydia in trouble is too high.
So the corner of the living room it is.
“You look really bored,” someone next to him says. He turns in her direction and smiles at the brunette girl leaning against the wall, finishing her drink. “Which you shouldn’t be at a party. It gives a bad impression.”
“I’m not a huge fan of parties,” he answers, taking a sip from his red cup. It’s kind of surprising Cora Hale is talking to him in the first place, but he tries not to think too much about it. “Especially when I’m alone in the corner of a room and not even close to getting drunk or laid tonight.”
“Maybe if you stopped whining about being the only virgin left in the world, someone would be interested in doing you a favor,” Cora says, taking his cup from his hand and drinking the remaining beer on one gulp.
“Are you offering?” He asks with his brows up. “Because Danny already did as a joke and, let me tell you, I’m not sure how much more a guy can take it.”
“Let’s see how the night ends, Stilinski.” She winks, turning her back on him and walking towards the kitchen.
The kitchen is fuller than the living room, which overwhelms Stiles even more, but the music isn’t as loud, so he can concentrate on the girl in front of him without any problem. Cora fills his cup with more beer without taking her eyes off of him. Suddenly, his mouth seems dry and he feels the need to take a drink as well.
“Thirsty?” Her voice is low and, he notices, deeper than before.
“Well, yes. Some girl took my drink from my hands, so…”
“Somehow I think you had it coming.”
“Is that so?” he says with a laugh. “I wonder what I did to deserve it.”
This is new. Stiles doesn’t flirt often and he’s impressed he’s pulling it off this well. Maybe, he thinks, it’s the alcohol finally mixing with his ADHD medicine and turning him into a more confident person. Or maybe he is doing a poor job but the alcohol is making him think otherwise. Either way, it seems to be working.
Scott always tells him he and Lydia are constantly flirting, but he never believes him.
He thinks he’d notice if Lydia Martin flirted with him.
However, it feels different with Cora. She and Lydia are somehow alike: determined and beautiful, with a strong personality. But Lydia is his best friend and in a relationship. Cora seems interested in him and he can’t say he’s not interested in her.
The conversation goes on for a while and the alcohol makes them a little bolder. The touching becomes more explicit and the whispering in each others’ ears more frequent until he finds himself pressing Cora against the wall as they kiss fervently.
If he’s being honest with himself, Stiles doesn’t know what going on in his mind. He has no idea why or how, but as she kisses his jaw, he decides to open his eyes. They immediately meets Lydia’s for a moment. Lydia’s on the other side of the room, holding two cups and standing still with both her brows raised. She’s so drunk and he doesn’t miss the surprised expression on her face. But then it melts away as she smiles at him.
He blinks a few times. It’s not the same smile she always gives to him, it’s a weak one and Stiles wonders if it’s all in his mind, if he’s too drunk to be able to read Lydia right this time. He raises his brows, but she just nods, sending him a pointed look and turning around, going back to wherever she was in the first place.
A small hand pulls him inside of one of the rooms and he remembers the girl he’s been kissing for the past half hour. Stiles smiles at her and closes the door.
It’s past three am when he finally leaves the party, and Stiles is very proud of himself for actually leaving at a socially acceptable time for this one. He still can’t believe the events of that night. The drinks, the dancing, the kissing and Cora Hale .
Who would have thought Cora fucking Hale would be the one to devirginize Stiles Stilinski?
He’s so excited about everything and all he wants to do is talk to his friends about it. Preferably Scott, who would be much more interested in hearing about Stiles’ sex life than Lydia, but, at this time, he can only imagine Scott would be fast asleep or busy with Allison. He also hasn’t seen Lydia for a while now, so she probably is doing the same with her boyfriend.
Either way, he can tell them tomorrow.
As soon as he gets home, he’s relieved to see just his jeep in the driveway. His father is pulling another all-nighter at the precinct and he sure as hell doesn’t need to see Stiles at this level of drunkenness. His body is aching from all the dancing and his head is starting to become heavier after not drinking for a while, so all he wants right now is his bed.
“Just a few more steps, Stiles,” he mumbles to himself. His eyes are already beginning to close when he steps inside the house. “You can do it. You can make it to your room.”
He walks slowly up the stairs, being careful enough to not bump into any of the portraits of his family perfectly hung the wall. He looks at one where his mother is smiling brightly while holding him in her arms. What would Claudia Stilinski say, seeing her child in this conditions?
His room is dark when he opens the door. The only light that comes in is from the moonlight through his window onto his bed, which makes it easier to find. He takes off his shoes and throws himself on his bed, relaxing immediately.
And then the doorbell rings.
“Oh, for fuck’s sake,” he mumbles, shoving his face into his pillow, ignoring the constant noise. After a few minutes, the sound stops and Stiles feels his body start to relax once more, his mind already shutting down to his surroundings.
Until his phone rings.
He groans loudly, reaching for his phone.
“You better be in the middle of the forest, naked and bleeding to death,” he answers without checking the ID caller.
“I’m outside. Can you open up?” a weak voice comes from the other side before his phone goes silent once more. He finally opens his eyes and stares at his phone.
Lydia .
He doesn’t think twice before throwing himself out of bed and running down the stairs. When he opens the door, there she is, looking so small, so lost. Lydia looks at his eyes and relief splatters over her face. Stiles frowns, confused. What the hell is she doing, alone, at this time of night in front of his house?
“Lydia?” He steps back, giving space for her to enter. “What are you doing here so late? Are you okay?”
“Can I stay here tonight?” Her voice is slow and he can see how tired she is. But what gets his attention is her eyes. They aren’t focused or determined like they always are. They seem a little blurred. “I really don’t want to be alone.”
“Yeah, of course.” He put his hands on her shoulders, bringing her close as they walk up the stairs to his bedroom. The strong scent of alcohol invades his nostrils and he realizes how none of it is coming from him. Yes, he is still pretty drunk, but every inch of Lydia’s body reeks of alcohol. “Uh, do you want to take a shower before getting into bed?”
She nods, walking straight to his bathroom. Stiles sighs and grabs some clothes for her and a towel. As soon as he hears the water turn on, he enters the bathroom to leave everything she needs on the sink.
He looks to the closed curtains and stays still for a few seconds, wondering what he should do. It isn’t the first time he handled a drunk Lydia, but, for some reason, something feels off this time.
“Lydia, is everything okay?” he asks one more time.
“Yeah.”
“Bullshit,” he blurts out. She pulls the curtain back, sticking her head out of the shower to face him. “I’ve known you since we were six. I know when you’re lying.”
“You’re drunk. You’re imagining things.”
“And you’re keeping something from me.” She looks down before getting back under the water. He sighs. “You don’t have to tell me what’s wrong. I just want to know how you are so I can help.”
He waits for an answer, but it doesn’t come, so Stiles just takes a deep breath and leaves the room, lying on his bed once more, hoping to fall asleep before she finishes her shower. A few minutes later, she comes out of the bathroom wearing just a long sleeve nightshirt that stops on her mid-thigh. Her hair is wet, dripping all over the shirt, and her skin looks like porcelain as it contrasts with the light color of his shirt.
She stands still in front of his door for a couple of seconds before closing it and walking towards his bed. The moonlight isn’t as bright as before, but it is still possible to see her features quite well.
One of the things Stiles loves about Lydia is how beautiful she looks without any makeup on. He can see all of her freckles around her nose and how small her eyelashes really are. There is nothing distracting him from the bright green of her eyes or the peach color of her lips. She always looks so pure, so raw without any makeup. He could stare at her all his life and still be amazed by her beauty.
But, this night, something else gets his attention. The sadness is so present on her face; it makes her look smaller than he’d ever seen her. The usual spark in her eyes is now a blurred shade of green and the red around them is so present that, if he didn’t know better, Stiles would think she was high or something.
Still, he doesn’t say anything. He just waits.
Their faces are turned towards each other, and Stiles can feel her breath on his chin. He can still smell the alcohol from both of them, but, this time, it’s weak enough to not bother them. Stiles’ bed is small, so much different from Lydia’s, but still able to fit both of them whenever they share it. That’s not the first time they’re sharing a bed. Growing up, sleepovers at each other’s house were pretty common and still sleeping in the same bed at their teen years felt natural, so her leg touching his, their noses almost pressing against each other, and their hands so close aren’t uncommon occurrences.  
Because of this, when she moves closer to him and their noses touch, Stiles isn’t alerted by the approximation. It’s only when her hand rests on his cheek and she closes her eyes that he notices what is about to happen.
She kisses him slowly. Her mouth moves delicately against his, burning his lips with every touch, every breath, every ounce of warmth she gives him. For some time, everything seems like it’s happening in slow motion. Like the universe has stopped so they can savor this moment, as if they have all time in the world to stay like this.
It’s his heart that brings him back to earth. It’s the only part of his body that isn’t working in slow motion. It’s almost like it wants to leave his chest, considering how fast it is beating. When he comes to his senses and realizes what is happening, Stiles moves his face from hers.
“Lydia,” he simply says.
And it is more than enough to make her eyes water.
Stiles pulls her closer to his body, holding her tight as she hides her face in the crook of his neck, starting to cry. He doesn’t know how long she cries, but it takes some time for her to start to calm down. When she looks at him again, her eyes are redder than before, but, for a moment, she looks relieved.
“I’m sorry,” she says weakly.
“Tell me what’s wrong,” He begs, but Lydia shakes her head. “Please. I can make things better.”
“No. You can’t.” She tucks a lock of her hair behind her ear.
“I can try,” Stiles reassures her. “Did he do something? Did he hurt you? Did someone else? Tell me what it is.”
“Stiles…” Her voice trembles. He sighs, nodding. Him pushing the subject won’t do her any good. That’s not what she needs right now.
“Okay.” He brings his hands up to her face, brushing the tears from her cheeks. She rests her head on his shoulder as his hands return to the side of her body, moving up and down slowly.
After some time, he thinks she’s asleep. She’s not moving and her breath is not uneven from the crying anymore. His body relaxes a little, but his heart is still beating a thousand miles per hour.
“Stiles?” she mumbles, looking up to face him. He can see how she’s trying not fall asleep right away. “Do you remember when we got married?”
“Yeah,” he simply answers, surprised at what’s on her mind.
“You promised to always hold my hand when I’m scared of the dark.” The hand that is resting on his stomach moves quietly and holds his, lacing their fingers together. Her hands are cold against his. They are never cold, so he tightens his embrace. She looks at them for some time, and Stiles wonders for a second if she lost her train of thought. But then her eyes are looking at his once more. “I’m scared now,” she whispers.
“Don’t worry.” His voice is firmer than before. “I got you. I’m not gonna let go.”
He wakes up the next morning with half of his bed empty. The clock by his dresser tells him it’s almost eleven thirty and the pounding in his head lets him know why he’s waking up at that time in the first place.
It takes a second to see the note on top of his second pillow. He picks it up, holding it close to his face for a moment, waiting for his vision to stop being blurry.
In small, curvy handwriting, there are only two words in the middle of the paper.
Thank you.
Stiles sighs. His lips are still burning and his heart is warmer than it should be this morning. The only clear memory from the night before is sealed into his brain and heart, and Stiles knows that the feeling he has had for his best friend since he was seven years old never truly went away.
It only grew.
And there is nothing he can do but pretend it isn’t there.
July 8th, 2015
“I don’t understand why we can’t have this poster in our living room,” Stiles says for the third time in the last hour, holding one of his many Star Wars posters in front of her. “You said this is a shared space and that we could both decorate.”
“And we did. The kitchen? All you.” She points to the already finished space behind them. “The only thing that’s mine in there is the penguin magnet Allison gave to me when she moved in with Scott.” She looks around the living room. “And you have all of your DVD’s and a couple of Darth Vader and Han Solo dolls in here already, so I don’t see why we need a poster too.”
“ Action figures, Lydia!” he repeats for the third time this afternoon. “And I only got to do the kitchen because you can’t go in there without setting something on fire.”
“That’s not true! Remember when I made breakfast at your house last week? Nothing got burnt.”
“You made cereal. That’s not cooking, that’s you finding a way to not starve to death.” Lydia rolls her eyes and continues unpacking her box. “That’s so not the point, by the way. The point is that you have two posters and a painting on the wall, so why can’t I have one too?”
“One of the posters is a Game of Thrones one, which we both enjoy, the other one is a Paris landscape, and I painted that for you for your birthday.” She faces him. “Plus, we have at least six pictures of you and Scott in here, so your personality is present too.” He continues to stare at her. “Stiles, I’m looking out for you, believe me.”
“How?” he asks.
“You’re already living with me. That’s going to make it hard enough for you to bring someone home to spend the night. Having a Star Wars poster in the middle of the room will scare away the ones who actually make it to the apartment.”
“I can always say they’re yours.”
“ Please , like they’d believe that.”
“Maybe I’ll only bring home people who likes Star Wars then.” She raises an eyebrow. “We’re not in high school anymore! More people have an excellent taste in movies like me!”
“Of course they do.” She grabs the poster and he smiles victoriously. “But this still goes in your bedroom.”
Stiles sighs, defeated, and walks to his room. For all scenarios he imagined when she proposed them moving in together to escape share dorms, this wasn’t one of them. Knowing Lydia for his entire life made him think he could handle living with her. God, he was wrong.
He’s glad he accepted her offer, though. He openly admitted how hard and exhausting it was living in a small place with two other people he did not get along with. Luckily, the year from hell was over, and now he’s excited to share the next one with Lydia.
Scott isn’t thrilled with the idea when Stiles talks to him about it. Being the only one aware of the extension of his feelings for Lydia, which is the biggest lie in the world since pretty much the whole population of Beacon Hills but Lydia knows how he feels about her, Scott strongly suggests against it.
But Stiles is stubborn. He guarantees Scott he can handle living with her. They grew up together, had sleepovers all the time, and he has seen her in a bikini multiple times. There is no way this decision will backfire.
Of course it does. Three hours living with her has already proved Scott’s point. Stiles just won’t let him know that.
It’s been a month since they moved in together when Scott comes to visit. One of the downs of living with Lydia is that he isn’t living with Scott like they had planned for a long time. The worst part of it all is that Scott is still living in California, attending UC Davis while Stiles is many miles away in Massachusetts at Northeastern.
He misses him so much that he can’t hide how eager he is when he sees Scott walk into his apartment.
“Scotty!” The brown-skinned man doesn’t even have time to say a word before Stiles is hugging him tightly. “God, I missed you so much.”
“Me too, dude.” Stiles looks at his best friend with the biggest of smiles. “Where’s Lydia? Did you tell her I was coming?”
“Nah, somehow I thought it’d be a great idea not to, but now I think she may kill me for not being here when you arrived.” He grabs Scott’s bag and walks to his bedroom, Scott following behind him. “She went for coffee with someone she met in one of her classes before summer started, but I think she’ll be here soon.”
“So that makes… three people you two, combined, are friends with.”
“Yup. Two are hers.” He looks over his shoulder and sees Scott shaking his head, disapprovingly. “What? I socialize plenty. I went on three dates in the past three months, and went to parties with a friend of mine.”
“Yes, but you also brought Lydia to those parties.”
“So? She’s my friend and she likes going out.”
“Stiles, part of why I didn’t think you two moving in together was a good idea is because it’d be nice to see you two hanging out with people that aren’t each other for a change.” Stiles rolls his eyes, but Scott ignores them. “The other part…”
“Everything here is fine. Lydia and I are best friends exactly like you and I are. Nothing is going on.”
“So no flirting, no going to each other’s room in the middle of the night and cuddling, no being mistaken for her boyfriend all the time?” Stiles raises his brows, surprised Scott knows all that. “Girls talk. A lot. And Allison and I talk about you two all the time, so.”
“What does Lydia say about us? Or what do you and Allison talk about?” he asks. Both of them know about Stiles’ more-than-a-crush feelings for Lydia, and he finds it very annoying whenever a conversation like that comes up. Long ago he gave up on Lydia ever feeling the same for him, so he doesn’t see the point in discussing the subject any further.
Before Scott can say anything else, they hear the door closing and voices coming from the living room. Stiles looks at him and both of them go to the living room, where Lydia is talking to a black girl. As soon as her eyes land on Scott, she stops whatever she is saying and runs to his direction, hugging him tight.
“You’re here!” she says, looking at him. Stiles eyes Lydia’s friend and smiles politely. “Why didn’t you tell me you were coming over?”
“I told Stiles,” he informs her, and she stares at him. “He’s known for like two weeks.”
“Well, before you start screaming and plotting my death, let me just tell you that Allison also knew and didn’t tell you. Neither did Scott. So… I mean, I’m not the only factor here.”
“Where’s Allison, by the way?” she asks, noticing her friend wasn’t there.
“It’s her mother’s birthday this week, so she went back to Beacon Hills to be with her dad. She said she’d call you.” And then, because it’s Scott McCall, he turns to the girl near the door. “Hello. I’m Scott.”
“Oh, right. Sorry!” Lydia says, looking at her friend as well. “This is Emma. She’s in one of my classes. Emma, this is Scott, he’s from California, and this is Stiles. He goes to Northeastern.”
“Nice to meet you two.” She looks over to Lydia. “We can reschedule if you want to spend time with your friend.”
“What were you two going to do?”
“We were planning on doing a movie night,” she answers. “But we can do it another time.”
“I’m up for movie night,” Scott says, looking at Stiles. “I’m here for a whole week, and I’m too tired from the flight here to go out, so…”
“Movie night it is then,” Stiles says, smiling.
There is something about Keira Knightley movies that makes Lydia melt. Aside from The Notebook, Lydia is constantly watching her whenever she has the time, and Stiles is more than familiar with everything she’s been in.
She chooses Atonement tonight, and it only takes one look between him and Scott to know how tonight will go. He sits next to her and tries to ignore the very pointed glare Scott gives him.
He knows the movie from beginning to end. How Cecilia is in love with Robbie, how Briony fucks everything up and tries to fix it the best she can. He admits, it’s a great movie. But his favorite part is how Lydia always finds comfort in him.
It’s not even in the middle of the movie and her legs are already on top of his. Her eyes are fixed on the TV like she’s watching it for the very first time, but her lips sometimes murmur along with the lines she knows by heart. It doesn’t take long, but, when Robbie is in the war, her head rests on his shoulder and his hands on her back.
He can feel Scott’s eyes on them, but doesn’t meet them. It’s not like what they’re doing is new. Lydia is a touchy person whenever she watches a movie. It is almost like she needs to touch someone to be able to concentrate on it. And yes, Stiles is always the one she does it to, but that doesn’t mean something more is going on.
As Cecilia and Robbie take a final look at the ocean before entering their dreamy blue house by the beach, Lydia is in tears, holding his hands firmly.
“God, that movie,” Emma says, looking at her friend. “Keira Knightley and Joe Wright did it again.”
“I don’t understand how you cry every single time,” Stiles says to Lydia with a soft smile. “We’ve watched this since we were fourteen and you have never not cried.”
“It’s sad!” she argues, cleaning the tears from her eyes. “You and Scott cried the first time you watched.”
“It’s sad!” they say in unison, making her crack up. Stiles kisses the top of her head.
“You two are adorable, you know,” Emma says with a soft smile on her lips. “I wish my boyfriend watched these kind of movies with me too.”
Both Stiles and Lydia freeze at her statement. The room is silent for a moment before Scott snorts.
“What?” she asks.
“Uh… Stiles is not my boyfriend,” Lydia says simply. “He’s my best friend and my roommate.”
“Oh.” She blinks a few times, blushing slightly. “Sorry… You two just seem to… Fit. With all the looks and touching and you talk about him a lot. I never thought he wasn’t your boyfriend, to be honest.”
“Okay, Emma.” Lydia stands up, smiling awkwardly and pulling her by the hand. “Why don’t we go to my room and grab you that outfit you wanted?”
As soon as the boys hear Lydia’s door close, Stiles looks at a smirking Scott.
“Remember when you said that you and Lydia are best friends just like you and I are?” Scott asks.
“Yeah.”
“Well, I’m not sure if you realized, but no one makes as many mistakes about us being in a relationship as they do about you and Lydia.”
“Scott…”
“No, listen. I’ve known you two since we were kids, and I grew up listening to you talk about her none stop. I still do. You say you’ve moved on, but you haven’t. You’ve been in love with Lydia for years and it’s never gone away.” He frowns, trying to find a way to say the next words, like it’s been in his mind for a long time now. “I know you think there’s no point in you telling her about your feelings because she doesn’t feel the same, but she never acts the same with both of us. Everything I do with Lydia is no more than a sister would do with a brother. But you two… Isaac is uncomfortable watching you two and that’s saying a lot.”
“What are you saying, Scott?”
“I’m saying you need to make a decision about Lydia. You either tell her about your feelings and go from there or you truly move on, because you can’t be in this horrible middle you’ve been in for so long.”
After his mom died, Stiles started to have a hard time sleeping. He’d lay in his bed with his eyes closed until he was sure his dad was far away from his bedroom. For some time he’d read some of the books in his room until he got bored and tried to force himself to sleep, but it never worked as well as he planned.
Everyone said it was just a phase. That he was going through a traumatic event and, in time, everything would go back to normal, but he father should try to tire him out so he’d sleep faster at night. It never worked, no matter how tired he was. His body was exhausted and begging for a good night sleep, but his mind never gave in.
And here he is, twelve years later, still having the exact same problem. Sleep is a very known enemy to Stiles’ system. Scott, on the other hand, welcomes it with open arms. He’s long gone in Stiles’ bed, snoring lightly, but Stiles’ mind is too busy thinking about what Scott told him earlier.
He isn’t wrong. Stiles is well aware of how unhealthy it is for him to be pining after someone who wouldn’t take a second look at him. He loves Lydia with all his heart, and he always will, but he needs to move on for good. Truly go out with people and have an interest in them for a change. Give someone an opportunity to get to know him.
A noise coming from the other side of the door takes him out of his thoughts. Stiles stays still for a few seconds before hearing it again and recognizing what it is. Without making any noise, he leaves his room and walks to the kitchen.
“What do you think you’re doing?” Lydia jumps at the sound of his voice and turns around to face Stiles. “Lydia, it’s two am.”
“I know. I’m making tea.” She turns her back to him once more, filling the kettle with water. “What are you doing up?”
“Apparently stopping you from burning down the apartment,” he says, taking the kettle from her hand and turning on the stove.
“I can make tea!”
“Your tea is always too watery.” She rolls her eyes but sits at the counter, watching him. “Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m just not sleepy.” Her voice is low and her eyes are focused on the kettle. “Hence the tea.”
“I wished this worked on me like it does on you.”
“The perks of sharing a room with Scott.” She smiles. “Guess you lucked out living with me.”
“Yeah. Who else would feed you and stop you from burning down the building in the middle of the night?” He looks at her. “I guess you lucked out.”
They stay in silence waiting for the tea to be ready. Once it’s done, Stiles pours it into two mugs and they move to the couch, taking small sips from it. They drink the tea silently and Stiles’ mind is back to Scott’s words. That is a perfect time for him bring up his feelings for her and hope for the best.
But, he wonders, what if things didn’t turn out okay? What if that is the beginning of the end of their relationship?
“About what Emma said earlier…” Lydia’s voice makes him snap out of it. She’s looking straight ahead, biting her lower lip as if she is considering what her next words are going to be.
“She made an honest mistake; don’t worry about it,” he says simply, putting his mug on the coffee table. “I mean, it’s not like it’s the first time that’s happened.”
“Yeah… It happens a lot, huh?”
“People have a hard time grasping the concept of people of the opposite sex being friends.”
“Yet, no one made that mistake when I hung out with Scott.”
“Well, that’s because he’s been dating Allison since forever, and the first thing he probably tells people when they meet is that he already found the love of his life, thank you very much.” Lydia laughs quietly and finishes her tea. “I’m just sorry that they always think you’re with me, though.”
“Why?”
“Well… Look at you. The fact that people don’t second guess we’re together astonishes me, to be honest.” He smiles and looks at her, but she’s not smiling. “What?”
“I hate when you do that.” She rests her head on the back of the couch and continues to look straight. “You know, we’re not in high school anymore. You’re not that awkward kid that falls everywhere. Stop thinking you are.”
“I haven’t changed that much, though.” He raises his brows when she rolls her eyes. “I haven’t! I’m the same spastic kid that follows you and Scott around and can’t seem to shut up to save his life.” He rests his head right next to hers.
“Yeah, but you see that as a bad thing. You choose to see all of that as a flaw, but that’s not what Scott and I see.” She looks at him this time. “You’re funny and smart. You won’t shut up to save your life, but what you’re saying is actually interesting. Plus,” she finishes, “you’re hot.”
“What?”
“Oh, please. Whenever I come to Northeastern with you, a lot of people are always eyeing you.” He’s looking at her with an expression full of surprise. “Also, do you know how many girls and guys approach me to ask if we’re together? And when I say no, they ask me for your phone number.”
“I didn’t get any calls.”
“Of course I never gave them your number.” She rolls her eyes. “The point is, you’re a good catch, and if something feels weird about people second guessing our hypothetical relationship, it’s the fact that they think I’m a good match for you.”
“What do you mean?” He faces her. “You’re literally a genius, you go to MIT and you’re graduating early, you’re gorgeous and can destroy anyone with just a stare.”
“All true, but look at you. You’re kind. You have a good heart and you give so much to everybody.” Her voice becomes softer and Stiles can’t stop looking at her eyes. “I might be all of what you said, but… I don’t exceed as a person. And, since I’m being honest here, the truth is: I’d be lucky to be in a relationship with you.”
He wants to fight everything she just said, but she’s looking at him in a way she never has before. It feels like she’s pouring her heart into those words, and that last statement is the most sincere words she’s ever spoken. So, instead, he chooses to focus on that.
“Lydia.” His voice is failing, but his eyes never leave hers. “What are you saying?”
And for the third time in his life, she takes charge of the situation. She leans closer to him, resting her forehead against his and brushing their noses softly. Stiles is breathing weakly, and he can already feel his lips burning from her kisses all those years ago. They come closer, lips barely touching, savoring that moment. Because they know if they do this, there’s no way of coming back.
“Lydia,” he whispers expectantly. When she kisses him this time, it’s not slow or soft. She’s not drunk or going through a hard time. They’re not afraid that the slightest movement will break the spell.
This time, her kiss is passionate. Is desirable. Lydia is not afraid of being vulnerable with him, he notices. She’s pouring her feelings into this kiss to let him know her completely. Every part of her soul is being put into it to let him know her like he never has. And it burns, Stiles concludes.
Lydia’s soul burns against him and he expects it to be overwhelming, but it’s not. Her lips are fire and he knows he can take it. He doesn’t want that fire to ever stop. He wants to drink from her mouth forever.
Stiles tries to do the same. To put all his feelings for her into that kiss. He needs her to know everything he has ever felt for her since they were kids. He wants her to know that there wasn’t a day he didn’t love her with all his heart. That his heart beat for her every day.
But it’s not enough.
She seems to notice the same, because soon enough she’s in his lap, pulling him closer to her and depositing small wet kisses on his jaw. He spreads his hands over her thigh and she shivers, feeling his cold hands against her burning flesh. His mouth finds her neck and starts to suck it desperately, addicted to how her skin feels pressed to his lips.
When her hips meets his, Stiles sees stars. It’s a small movement but it’s the best feeling in the world, so good that a low moan escapes his lips. She seems to notice him and repeats the act, moving a little harder to both of their pleasure. His hands move to hold her ass under her shorts, helping her to keep a steady pace.
Stiles captures her lips once more, kissing her harder, savoring her taste, her breaths, her body. It’s only when he feels her body start to tremble on top of his and hears her moans become sharper that he stops the kiss and looks at her.
“Lydia,” he starts when she opens her eyes. They’re so lustful, so full of desire that it takes a few seconds before he remembers what his next words are. “Are you… Is this what you really want?”
“Yes.” She touches his face kindly. “I do. Not only… Not only this, but everything.”
“Me too,” he whispers, pressing his forehead against hers. “Lydia, I’ve been in love with you since… Since I can remember. I want everything too.”
He doesn’t need to say anything else. His hands are around her waist, lifting her up when he stands up and walking to her bedroom. Her mouth finds his neck and starts working up to his jaw over and over again, making him crazy. When he lays her on her bed and lowers himself down on top of her, their eyes lock one more time before he drowns in her mouth.
They take their time, because this isn’t just some hook up or one night stand for them. No, this is so much more than that. It’s them giving themselves to the other, their heart, soul and body. It’s every I love you unsaid. Everything they wanted to do for a long time but never could.
This is Stiles and Lydia finally becoming one.
May 28th, 2016
“Where the hell is everybody?” Stiles asks for the tenth time, walking around his living room and looking at his watch every five seconds. “ We’re going to be late!”
“We’re not going to be late,” Lydia answers, flipping a page of her magazine. “Allison just texted me and said they’re parking.”
“Parking? Why are they parking?” He grabs his phone and starts to dial. “They don’t need to come up here, we’re supposed to meet in front of the building and go. I sent them the schedule. ”
Lydia takes a deep breath and stands up, taking his phone from his hands. He looks at her, outraged, but she twines her hands around his neck and kisses him slowly, which makes Stiles immediately relax. When they pull back, his forehead rests on hers as he looks down into her eyes. Even with her highest heels, she’s still so short next to him.
“Stop worrying. We’re gonna get there with plenty of time left.” He doesn’t move, but his eyes are still agitated. “I’m the one who needs to be there, and you don’t see me worrying.”
“I’m not gonna lie, it kills me you’re so relaxed,” he says. “But, Lydia, this is your graduation! I need everything to go perfectly. We need to find amazing seats, take tons of pictures with everybody, and I need to find the perfect light to film you getting your diploma.”
“We have time,” she promises and kisses him again. And he gives in, because how could he ever argue with Lydia’s amazing persuasion skills?
“I love you,” he says as soon as they pull apart.
“I love you too.”
“Aw, I love you too!” They look towards the door, seeing Allison and Scott with smiles across their faces. Lydia rolls her eyes and takes a step back from her boyfriend, walking to her best friends, hugging Allison first. “I can’t believe you two think Scott and I are the clingy ones.”
“Oh, you are. You two are absolutely disgusting with each other.” She kisses Scott’s cheek. “What you saw was me distracting Stiles so he wouldn’t murder you two.”
“For what? The ceremony isn’t for two hours.” Scott looks at his best friend and raises his brows. Stiles is at the same spot Lydia left him, looking at the group with his mouth open in shock. “What?”
“ You’re not even dressed yet!” he says, exasperated. “I had a plan – I had a schedule! We’re going to be so late now.”
“I thought it was a joke,” Scott tells them. “I mean… Who gets there before anyone else? What are we going to do until it starts?”
“Stiles wants us to do a photoshoot of the day. You know, all possible combinations of photos with and without people.” She grabs Allison’s bag and looks at her boyfriend. “Which we’ll do no matter what time we get there.”
“But the plan…”
“Plan A never works, Stiles,” Lydia says, kissing his cheek on her way to her room with Allison. “So get ready for plan B.”
“Lydia Martin.”
As soon as she steps onto the stage to receive her diploma, Stiles stands up, clapping, followed by the whole row of people who came to see Lydia’s graduation. On his left, Scott is smiling proudly at her and Allison is almost jumping excitedly for her friend. Her mom is tearing up on his right and his dad and Melissa couldn’t be happier seeing her there.
She shakes the hand of one of her teachers and as he hands her the diploma, she looks to the crowd applauding her. She looks at everyone, smiling thankfully at them for being there for her. But her eyes stops on Stiles and her face softens.
He’s so proud of her, and he’s not scared of showing everyone around him. Without a doubt, he’s the one clapping the most, and when he screams her name from far away, he doesn’t care if people are staring. His girlfriend is graduating two years ahead of everyone else with honors. This is her moment and he wouldn’t miss it for the world.
He’s the first one to spot her from the hundreds of students all around campus. He grins widely when she looks at him and walks towards the group, hugging him tight.
“You made it, Lydia.” She looks into his eyes, and Stiles notices how bright they are. “You deserve this so much, you worked so hard to get here, and I couldn’t be more proud of you.”
She doesn’t get a chance to answer him because she’s pulled from his arms by her mother, but he doesn’t care. He doesn’t need an answer. All he wants is make sure that she knows.
June 5th, 2022
Stiles Stilinski is getting married to Lydia Martin for the second time.
The ceremony takes place at Lydia’s lake house back in Beacon Hills. Everything is decorated in light shades of yellow and white with flowers dotting the whole place. There’s nothing too fancy about their wedding, but it’s beautiful enough to make the guest sigh at the atmosphere of love.
For the first time that day, Stiles is completely still while waiting for Lydia. Scott is at his side, just like when they were kids, radiating happiness for his friends. He can see his father in the first row, smiling at him, and Lydia’s mom, already crying right next to him. Stiles looks at his friend.
“Do you think Lydia’s mom is crying of happiness or because she’s marrying me?” Scott just stares at him. “What? That’s a completely valid question. I’m definitely not her first or tenth choice to marry her daughter, right Mr-I-must-charm-every-single-mother-in-Beacon-Hills?”
“Are you nervous?” Scott asks, ignoring his previous words. Stiles thinks for a few seconds. He was nervous this morning when he woke up. He was nervous when his father told him how proud his mother would be of him. He was nervous ten minutes ago when Scott fixed his tie for the fifth time and they shared a look, remembering all those years ago when it all started.
But at that moment, as he’s standing at the end of the aisle, next to his best friend and waiting for the woman he loves to walk towards him, he decides he’s not nervous. Not even a little bit. Because when the song starts and everybody stands up, watching Allison walk in her yellow dress with watery eyes, all he can think about is how lucky he is to be marrying Lydia Martin.
And how absolutely beautiful she is.
It’s possible to hear a gasp from every single person when Lydia walks down the aisle. Stiles’ breath catches in his throat because Lydia looks stunning. Her hair, her dress, her eyes. He doesn’t know where to look first, everything about Lydia in that moment is too much for him.
The strapless tulle dress she is wearing makes her look like she had come out of a fairytale book. Her hair is down with a delicate crown braid and soft curls on the end of her locks. Her makeup is so soft, almost natural, with exception of her lips, which are painted in a light shade of red.
And, once more, she’s holding a sunflower bouquet.
She remembered.
“Don’t cry,” she says, eyes starting to water and voice already breaking. “You know I’ll do it too.”
“You look beautiful.” He takes her hand, squeezing lightly. “And the flowers…”
“I wanted her to be here with us too.” She touches the only plastic sunflower in the middle. “She’s my something old.”
“You kept it.” He looks at her, surprised.
“Of course I did.” Lydia brings his hands to her lips. “You chose it for me.”
The ceremony is beautiful. The words spoken about them are kind and it’s made to share their story with everyone at the ceremony. But it’s not until their vows that their love is completely known by every single soul sharing that moment with them.
“Ever since I was a little girl, I had a weak spot for fairy tales. The idea of someone finding their one true love was the epitome of happiness someone could find. But once life happened, I started to believe that none of it was true. That there was no Prince Charming, no one true love, no happy ending.” She bites her lip, looking at him. “And as skeptical as I became, the harder it was to see what was right in front of me. You. You were always there for me in times no one else was. You were the only person I told all my secrets, all my fears, all my dreams. You were the only one who knew my heart and soul, and loved me for it.” When her voice cracks, Stiles holds her hand tighter, even though he’s crying as well. “And still, I couldn’t see you were everything I dreamed of. And on this day, I promise you to be everything you need. To love you endlessly. Just like you always did for me. Because you are my Prince Charming. My one true love. My happy ending.”
When it’s Stiles’ turn to say his vows, he takes a moment to recompose himself, before looking at her, smiling.
“I fell in love with my best friend on June 5th, 2002. That day, we were a couple of seven-year-old kids who just wanted to do something special and a wedding was the best way to do it. And in front of our best toys and our families, we made important promises to each other and we never, not even once, broke them. I always held your hand when you got scared. I always shared my ice cream when you ate all of yours. You always let me sing along to The Little Mermaid soundtrack and never once made me choose you over Scott.” Stiles looks at his best friend for a brief moment before returning his attention to Lydia. “But on this very same day, 20 years later, I come before you and every important person in our lives to make you a final promise.” His voice fails for a moment and Lydia smiles, touching his cheek. “Lydia Martin. I promise you me. In every aspect of your life. To cherish and love you. To never leave your side. To never make you doubt, not even for a second, how much I love you. I promise you my love every day for the rest of our lives. And even after that. Because there’s nothing in the world that will make me stop loving you, my very best friend.”
He doesn’t hear the rest of the ceremony. The way Lydia’s looking at him is enough to make everything else disappear. And when they’re pronounced husband and wife, he kisses her passionately.
Stiles is finally home.

Kappa Sigma Life: Chp 1.
“Nate!!!!!!, its time to wake up”, his auntie called form downstairs as he was already on his laptop going over his checklist for move in day at Maplewood university.  Nate was looking at his dufflebag filed with clothes and his papers for transition and waited patiently for his laptop to charge. In three days he was leaving to begin his time away from home again. Looking at a framed picture of him, his auntie, and his uncle he sighed as he walked downstairs wearing his black cargo shorts and his eclipse of the moon shirt he got while away. His aunt looks at him cooking breakfast and asks if hes hungry for anything, “I made your favorite, pancakes and bacon, come on you know your hungry.”
Nate looked at her with a sly grin and felt his stomach answering a little embarrassed. “auntie you know im getting chubby again, I haven’t worked out since I came home and you keep showering me with food, how am I supposed to look good if im hanging my cut out.” his aunt laughed and flicks him on the forehead making him flinch. “you spent two years in rome and came home looking totally different, your always gonna be my husky little hyena, and your off to do big things soon at your new school, don’t forget what you spent 7 years of your life doing.” Nate fels his belly knowing full well he is still weighing the same and sits down and eats.
Enjoying his meal, his aunt sits beside him rustling his hair making him raise his eyebrow and question what shes doing. “im just thinking about how much you look like dimitri, spitting image from when he was younger. Nate puts his knife and fork down getting up and no longer hungry, heading out the door to his truck. His aunt follows suit giving him a box. Nate asks what it could possibly be and his aunt responds that it was a gift his uncle was gonna give him when he came home for the summer, but never got to give it. Nate opens it with a tear in his eye as he looks at a necklace with the shard of the original Hagia Sophia and puts it around his neck. Hugging his auntie he whispers “I love you” before driving off to his job at the local hospital helping in the mental health ward. Nate spent years in countries learning proper culture of minorities and knows several languages as well as history and volunteers his time with patients to ease their suffering when they have no family around. Regrettably he has few friends who understand and talks primarily to the patients who understand him. He goes in to see the receptionist Olivia stopping him. “I had no clue youd be here nate, I heard about Rome, im sorry it didn’t work out. nate shrugs it off saying hes happy that someone cared enough to ask.
Going to his office, nate spends much of the morning with patients and talking to them, only to be told to leave early by his boss, saying that he should enjoy himself instead of being so busy working all the time.  heading out a friend of his texts him saying theres a party at his parents ranch later. A little excited he say he got off work early and can come by and pregame as much as possible  heading to his friend dylans he quickly is approached by a large tiger smoking a joint and wearing a dark maroon flannel with his sleeves rolled up. “well well well Nathan Wileson, if I don’t regret the moment you actually come out to play, how are you bulky hybrid.” Nate rolls his eyes telling him he doesn’t like being called hybrid and already feels different enough without having to resort to clever puns or insults to get back at people.
Dylan hands him a joint and they smoke while watching fate/zero on Netflix. Dylan comments that hed totally go for saber since shes blonde and total badass. Nate responds back he prefers rider as hes big burly and looks like a really nice man whos would just cuddle all day long. Dylan chuckles saying nate always went or the brolic heavier guys over skinny dudes around. “I swear youd pop a boner for any sweaty guy who showed a guy. “oh trust me I wouldn’t get one from you Dylan, you smell like a horses taint and cant get laid if you were in ms. Sullivans house in a jockstrap.”
Dylans pushes nate and the two wrestle to the ground with nate pinning Dylan to the ground. “Down yonder Dylan don’t you ever work out.” “oh sorry if my auntie isn’t ex military, or my uncle was a general in marine corps….sorry”. nate smiles saying its fine as he needs the laugh and that he got over his over a month ago, but was too distracted by work. Dylan reaches under nates shirt squeezing his nipples as nate backhands him to the ground. “bro come one those are sensitive.” Dylan grins saying he always wanted to do that once before he left but never got the chance. The two break out rum and weed and drink and smoke until around 4 getting pizza and drinks for the party.
Nate expecting some excitement starts eating a pot brownie ready to loosen up. Dylan reminds him that in the outback everyone gets crazy when the sun sets. Nate recalls that hes the mixed one in  town and had no need to worry. The two open the door with floods of animals coming in heading to the back decked out with string lights and tikis with loads of booze and food ready. Nate smiles knowing he may not see these people again for a long time and starts hustling through the crowd the brownie kicking in. “what’s up people lets turn this petting zoo into a fucking jungle!!!!” all the girls looking at him as he jumps on the table dancing in front of everyone. Dylan laughs and looks on “oh lord the party wolf is out again, nates always like this at partys especially when high enough.
Nate takes his shirt off showing off his husky stomach and body grinding to the music bringing the ladies up to him letting them grind on him. One of the girls going up to Dylan questioning what’s happening. “Isn’t he gay, like left for years to live with his boyfriend?” Dylan explains they broke up and a lot happened and nate is just having fun and the girls know that so theres no threat. One of the girls sees nate flexng his ass winking at her. “want the full ride itll cost ya darling, and trust me you can’t afford coach right here.” Getting down from the table, nate pours a water on his head cooling him down.
Dylan looks at nate panting and high fives him as the girls wink back at him. “Geez sometimes I wish I wasn’t into guys, id totally get some right now.” The two start drinking with nate still shirtless and notices a guy staring at him from afar and waves smiling. Dylan asks if he’s thinking of actually going for a local guy tonight. “well I am here only two more days after tonight, might as well get some before the headaches of classes.” Dylan remarks that Nate always was a straight a student and never once got in trouble despite a chronic weed smoker, traveled, a licensed life coach, and multilingual, he was a catch in a half for colleges. The boy comes up to him a young  grizzly bear wearing a jean jacket and hells angel bandanna blushes as he says Nate put on a nice show. Nate sticks his tongue out and mentions that was just a trial run and wouldn’t mind doing it again.
The boy mentions his names ronny and asks If they can get to know each other better.  Dylan bring them both to a spare bedroom where they proceed to kiss. Taking it slow Ronny mentions he’s heard of nates escapades at parties as the stripperific coach and was curious if he ever stripped all the way. Nate takes his shirt off and pounds his belly growling in excitement. “a fierce combo of a loyal wolf, reliability of a Hyena, and the slyness of a raccoon, I am Nathaniel Martin Wileson at your service.” Laughing Ronny goes up and kissing nate on the lips pushing him on the bed and taking his jacket and shirt off. Kissing nate he unzips his shorts and pulls them down revealing his hard cock. His eyes bulged he mentions its very thick, and mentions hes never taken a dick before.
Getting up nate kisses him saying that he doesn’t have to if he isn’t ready. Pulling down his shorts nate kisses ronnys stomach and hells him hes also pretty big and wouldn’t mind just doing oral and petting. The two lay in bed Ronny sucking him off and saying he needs a breather. They switch and nate sucks him in mutual oral soon after. Kissing his soft lips his wet snout on ronnys he smiles saying he needed the relief from his life and was happy to share the time with ronny. Ronny goes into his pants and pulls out a tube of lube and a condom giving it to nate. “im in my second year of college at 21 and still a virgin, I don’t wanna go another year with it, do it please.” Nat runs his hand up and around his body locking arms and telling him he will go slow. Slowly thrusting he slides his cock in as ronny moans in anguish over the feeling and sweats bullets. Getting in the bodyguard position arms wrapped around him and kissing his neck, Nate thursts as he feels the fur against his panting from the amount of passion.  “oh god your big, it hurts”. Asking if he wanted him to stop Nathan slows down easing into ronny better and softer. The two climax and fall on the bed laughing, “fuck for my first time that was intense.”, Nate smiles as he kisses Ronny on the cheek, “want some cuddles”.
Smiling back he accepts and the two fall asleep, waking up the next day to Dylan telling him that his aunt called wondering where he was at. Taking a quick shower he puts his clothes on and drives home to see his aunt with his bags ready to pack up and leave. “you’re lucky you got everything ready already Nate, had some fun last night?” Nate laughs and tell her that nothing happened aside from some drinking and weed. Pointing to his hickey on his neck Nate pushes his shirt up saying hes fine and takes his bags hugging her goodbye. She mentioned it be better for him to leave early and register with classes so he doesn’t have to wait til after everyone arrives so he filled up his tank on the way back and was ready for the road only to pick up his bag and papers. Hitting the road early, he reaches the campus of Maplewood University in 4 hours and checks in with his advisor, and getting his classes. He signed up as a natural sciences/ humanities dual major as both pertain to the same classes and allow him to study culture and people more closely. He signed up for Israeli infrastructure, roman culture, china in the modern age, and urban sociology. Not being picky the advisor said he was a bright young man looking at his past grades and hoped he continues to surprise the college with his gpa when he begins.
Placed in a dorm specific for hybrids he goes to his complex knowing he will be given a apartment with three separate rooms. Good enough to spend time alone and study, or blow off steam on xbox. Going in he finds a large sloth sitting on the couch and smoking a bong looking back at him. “you a goody goody roommate or wanna hit.”. nate laughs and sets his bag down joining the large sloth man in smoking. He introduces himself as Arkad Slowmann from Isreal and was born with a genetic defect that makes him look like his ancestors way back when standing 7.6 ft towering over nate.
The two hit it off really well and even helps move his stuff in. nate decks his room with posters of paddy and the rats and fate series characters hooking up his flat screen and xbox together and setting his laptop and bookshelf together feeling at home. Going back he finds a bullbear coming into the living room carrying a bunch of bags. “oh hey whats going on, guess were all roomies.” “yeah guess we are….over yonder hes an otaku.” The boy drops the bags heavy as can be wearing a power symbol shirt with jeans and a silver rolex on his wrist reaching out and shaking nates hand. “names Luke Benito pleasure, mind helping me set up” arkad and nate look at one another and already stoned tell him he doesn’t have much.
The three converse about life on campus and realize despite Arkad being a music production/ demolition trade student, nate being in natural sciences/ humanities and luke being in graphic design/ IT, they all seem to have the prefences of music anime movies and people. Ordering food the boys spend the night smoking and eating watching Guillermo del toro movies on the amazon firestick. Heading to bed at 2am, luke tells nate that club fair is the next day and will be exciting to see the frats and extracurriculars on campus. Seeing arkad snoring on the couch, nate waves good night taking his shirt off and shorts and laying in bed in his boxers. “Whose place, nates place.”  
Kappa Sigma Life: Chp 2
Nate wakes up the next day bright and early making a pot of coffee, looking inside the fridge seeing Luke brought four different creamers to stock inside. Picking his favorite hazelnut, he pours a cup and puts it in his travel mug. Dressed in basketball shorts and a simple navy blue t shirt he walks out jogging to the gym on campus. Jogging, the August sun beats down on a morning glare. “Over yonder, I should of brought my sunglasses, I cant see  shit.” As he begins running he bumps into a young cheetah on the side as he turn left to the enterance. Apologizing he puts his hand out and sees his knee is scrapped. “hey im so sorry, let me help you inside they gotta have a first aid kit.” The cheetah swipes his hand away, getting up and walking inside, muttering “big oaf hybrid”. Looking confused nate shrugs it off and heads inside. Signing in with his student ID he hits the cycle for cardio and then does some leg presses, “auntie always said work out at least 3 times a week and jog every day for at least a half hour.” Lifting some weights, he notices a chubby lion trying to bench press, setting them down he walks over and puts his hands on the bar. “yo don’t you know its bad to never have a spotter.” The lion looks embarrassed and tells him that he never worked out before and he wanted to lose weight fast. “well your not gonna lose it overnight, try working slower and try going here at least twice a week at first, then up it a few days a week, and only do what you feel comfortable with, and if you want my advice, your build is perfect for a predator species like yourself. The lion smiles at him and asks if he can help him with some work out tips.
Not a gym teacher, nate tells him only what he knows and getting a worker to help him would suit better for his needs. The two converse while lifting and the young lion starts feeling an ache in his shoulder. Reaching in his pocket nate pulls out a bottle of balm he keeps with him at all times. “come on your done for the day lets get you feeling better. In the locker room the lion takes his shirt off and nate puts the balm on making him feel more relaxed. “woah that’s pretty fast acting, what is it?” nate explains its military grade balm for soldiers during training, and his aunt helped manufacture it while doing biological research on cell reproduction or something as he doesn’t know shit about science. Nate takes his shirt of and looks as the lion stretched his arm making sure nothing else is sore. “you know a hot shower wouldn’t hurt either.” The lion blushes and sees nate taking his pants off grabbing a towel placing it over his shoulder. “um I might be offputting here but you have a a really nice build.” Nate explains he puts effort into it and prides himself in staying at least fit if not a little husky. the lion wraps a towel around himself taking his shorts and boxers off following nate to the shower. “im a little nervous, these are public showers and I don’t feel very adamant in showing off as much as you are.” nate pats him on the shoulder telling him that if he doesn’t feel comfortable he should shower at his dorm as theres no shame in being embarrassed, as self esteem takes time to build. The lion asks what he means and nate tells him some advice.
“you took  the courage to come to the gym with fit people everywhere looking to better yourself even though you feel inadequate, that’s the first step to garners a better love for yourself, understand these things take time and in a while, you will be able to come in here proud as your own species should and make these people look at you so adamantly that their questioning their sexuality.” The lion laughs, asking if nate can keep a secret. Nate tells him anything told in confidence is held tight in his lips. The lion explains he thinks he might be into guys but never tried anything before. Nate tells him again there is no shame in admitting curiosity so long as it doesn’t hurt another person. The lion chuckles as he looks nervously at nate knowing hes completely naked at the shower entrance. Looking down he cant help but gaze at his body. “sorry I shouldn’t stare that’s pretty rude.” Nate pats him on the head and tells him his dorm has a private shower in their room that he can use if hes still nervous. The lion cub smirks red in the face. “would you be there helping me wash, I cant really reach my back?” nate smiles and sticks his tongue out saying of course he would help.
Going to his dorm, nate walks in knocking on the bathroom door looking at the clock on the oven. “8:30, those two are still asleep, come on”. The two enter the shower and the lion feels the warm water hitting his fur as nate enters with him, the two embrace feeling each other’s fur against one another. Nate looks at the young man and introduces himself, “btw im nate, pleasure to meet you.” The lion contemplates and looks shocked he didn’t even ask for a name. “oh god im so sorry im in the shower with a guy and I didn’t even know his name!” nate strokes his chin and kisses him on the lips, “no worries little lion, just say it now.” The lion introduces himself as Geoff and comes from all the way from the west. Pressing himself against nate, he feels his belly saying hes so soft. “well good buddy im pretty fluffy thanks to my wolf side, and I don’t shed thanks to my hyena side.” Geoff notices nates dick twitching and looks down seeing it throbbing hard. He ask if its okay to touch it to which nate agrees . getting on his knees he starts sucking and looks up gagging . “don’t deep throat If its your first time Geoff, take it easy and if you cant you cant, theres always gonna need practice. Going halfway down his shaft georg slurps using his tongue as nate moans in pleasure holding his head in place pressing it gently inching closer and closer in geoffs mouth.
As he starts really enjoying  it he hears ark knocking on the door. “Nate I gotta use the shower, you’ve been in there for a half hour. Panicking Geoff shoots up and asks what he should do?” nate explains that ark is a chill guy and wont be a prude, the two shut off the water and dry off as Nate puts his clothes on and opens up as ark is standing holding shampoo and body wash looking at nate like he he had fun. “I see first day on campus and already made your mark eh Wolfie.” Chuckling Geoff walks out and follows nate as ark walks into the shower. Ark behind the door thanks them for cleaning up the water and leaving the place a neat set instead of mess. Nate laughs as the two walk into the common area seeing luke reading attack on titan on the couch. “hey nate whose your friend?” nate introduces Geoff and the two share a common love of hating on erens need to shout titan every two minutes as Geoff looks at his watch saying that hes late to meet with his roomies for breakfast. He walks out when luke asks why he was here so early. Nate explains he invited him for a shower as he was stinky from the gym and needed to wash so offered him theirs in privacy to not make him nervous. “that’s weird dude, maybe ask us first if they can use it okay.” Nate scratches his head and feels warm in the common area, “geez did they shut the air off.” Luke looks at him drinking a cold glass of water, “yeah saving money doesn’t come on until much later.”
Taking his shirt off nate plops on the couch turning the tv on and flips on Netflix turning on American Horror Story coven. “god I love this season, so campy and all the witches are such sassy bitches.” Luke looks at him as he sits on the couch laughing at Queenie threatening to eat a skinny white witch and looks at him. “can I ask man, you have no shame in showing off your watching a campy season of a horror show, and you had a guy over to take a shower, are you….” Ark opens the door and interrupts both of them and interferes. “well yes I would say so Luke but is that really your business.” Nate looks at both of them shrugging and puts his arms on the back of his head. “Yes it is true I am gay, and proud of it.” Luke looks at him, “well that’s great that you are accepting of who you are, I bet your parents got used to it when you came out.” Ark flicks Luke on the back of the head, “not sorry for that but personal matters shouldn’t be pressed on, I could care less what sexuality he is so long as he respects us.” Nate laughs and compliments arks no shits given attitude. Luke remarks he’s just curious, and Nate replies back that his mother and father are not supportive and his aunt and uncle took him in with loving arms. Luke looks straight faced as Nate gets up and says he’s not interested in sad stuff and wants to go do something. Luke remarks the club fair is going on and they could see some of the extracurricular and teams on campus. Rolling a joint, ark notes it might be fun and they all smoke up before heading out.
High a shit at the fair, ark and nate are drawn by the smell of weed coming from the growers association and head over seeing a Bull and rhino passing out joints to people they think might help. The bull introduces himself as Danny and the rhino introduces himself as theo. Theo explains that they grow swell shit in a lab on campus as med students, he a agriculture student and Danny a Med student practicing physical therapy. Nate and ark look at the pamphlet and see that it’s a paid job to test out experimental strains smoking a pound a week and its legal. Nate smiles at ark who smirks back as the cheetah nate ran into beforehand sees the two and walks over stating that his brothers wanna talk to them. Looking back at him with a smug grin nate replies that maybe he should learn some manners as an large bulky elk comes by and comments on arks large build. “whats good sloth im riley, chapter president of Tau Epsilon and I cant help but notice you got a a great build, for a sloth. Ark replies that its gene regression and that his ancestors somehow mixed with his DNA with an extra chromosome making him a large man standing 7.6. the cheetah rolls his eyes at nate stating he noticed him working out in the gym and the amount of weight he was piling was impressive. “well what do you expect from a wolf, we do what we can”.
Riley looks at nate and ark stating that they shouldn’t waste their time with smoking and lazing when they can join the football team and make a good amount of rep for themselves. Danny stares daggers at riley commenting that even if he is quarterback he won’t be able to get a six pack, flipping off danny riley tries taking arks hand and brushes it off commenting that forcing someone to try and do something doesn’t get their way. The cheetah replies back to ark that he wouldn’t expect less from a hybrid smut, to chicken out at oppurtunites of a life time. ark just looks away and asks what the pay is for being a tester, only for theo to immediately respond “200 a week, and all the eeed is free to take so long as we give it to you, no going into stashes and taking what you wish, me and danny deal, you two just smoke, limited seating to 6 people.” Nate signs his name, “oh im so down, now we don’t have to worry about finding stuff on campus from sketchy dealers.” Danny replies there’s a lot of pushers lately trying to sell synthetic weed and its not good to go to anyone.
Walking back riley and the cheetah look at the crowd around their booth and see luke signing up as a linebacker. The cheetah “oh great another hybrid, how many are on this fucking campus this year?” . riley looks at him, “calm down Roland, this is good for funding even if we don’t use him in games having him as a brother is good for our credibility with the frats and the campus, plus we need a mule to get our shit to other people, gotta get ready for preseason.” Roland smirks saying he really doesn’t like the hyena as hes too gentle and happy, riley smirks and tells him that he has an plan for that at the party, and he just needs to get the two over to the houses. Giving him a bag of pills, he tells him hes gonna go get some dirt from the dorms.
Going to the dorms riley knocks on the door to find a mongoose opened up high from some pills. “oh hey riley what’s good?” riley asks if he knows of two guys a sloth and hyena/ wolf mix and if he knows anything on them. The mongoose replies that he thinks the sloth is just a stoner but saw a guy walking out of their dorm with Nate standing at the front waving him off. Riley smirks at him telling him that’s all he needed, the mongoose asks if he’s getting paid for this one, only for riley to respond that that he already gave him the info before  asking for payment and walks off.
Luke ark and nate return with nate and ark looking at their contracts as testers saying itll be good to earn some cash. Luke was invited to a TE party and wanted to go but not alone. Nate and ark look at one another and contemplate going, only remember thatdanny and theor were handing out products at the party as a side business and seeing them would be nice. Relaxing and pregaming with the rest of arks stash the three walk to the house and see the place blasting with dance music, and sees a bunch of girls going to ark pulling him. “god damn your big, are you the new defensive end everyone is talking about.” Ark remarks he isn’t part of the team but wouldn’t mind hanging around the girls for a little while. Nate goes off to find theo and danny handing out joints for cash and danny gives him one to enjoy. “hope to catch you later bro, your first college party?” nate replies hes been to plenty and its no different. Theo nudges dannys elbo noting hes making that face again at nate, “aren’t you into the bulky ones now.”, danny remarks that he is tired of twinks and wants to meet someone whose fun but not thin, only for theo to remark he should check and see if hes into it first. Luke already drunk off of a bottle of rum goes up to them hearing the conversation and remarks that nate is gay and is proud to be open about it.
Heading to the smoking lounge nate smokes out a few bongs around a few people seeing roland come up and sit next to him. As he puffs smoke out he says hes a little close for his taste. Roland remarks he is interested in seeing nates stamina only for nate to brush it off as an advance saying hes making him uncomfortable. Roland holds his shoulders saying he wants to apologize for being an asshole earlier and plants a kiss on nate, sticking his tongue down his throat. Nate coughs pushing roland off and asks what the hell he put in his mouth as he felt something go downhis throat. “it’s a nice little candy, youll feel nice and loose later on. Feeling dizzy nate sumbles around only to feel a jol of energy rush through him and begins smiling like crazy. “oh god this doesn’t feel right but its kinda nice.” Roland laughs and says it wont be when the hallucinations hit. Running out the room Nathan looks around for ark or the others only to find theo passing out the last joints. “oh nate there you are, me and danny were heading back to my place to smoke, thought you and ark want to join…. Woah dude are you okay.” Nate replies the rooms spinning and hes seeing twisted colors everywhere. Looking at his eyes theo calls danny over saying nates tripping balls. Danny asks what he took and nate tells him a cheetah stuck a pill down his throat by kissing him nonconsensual.  
Ark comes back out of the room shirtless and covered in hickeys by the two girls saying hes ready to leave. Looking at nate he wonders whats wrong with him, only for theo to tell him what happened and ark goes into the smoking room finding roland smoking and grabbing him by the tail dragging him outside. Punching him in the face over and over roland begs for him to stop, only for ark to look at him “didn’t nate tell you to stop.” Before stopping on his ball sack causing Roland to bellow in immense pain. Theo walks out and sees  group of people staring at campus, only to see that  there are lights flashing from the dorms. A girl notes that someones dorm got trashed from texts reading someone busted open the hybrids dorm and trashed it. Ark looking pissed tells theo to take care of nate while he goes back to grab luke. The two go back up to see their place in shambles and fag written on  nates walls and sees everything is in ruins. The UP there tell them they will need to make a statement and say they can do it in the morning, going down to theos, ark lights up a joint on the couch asking theo how nate is, “hes fine resting in bed, his hallucinations were bad but he will calm down soon enough, what happened to you guys?” luke explains what occurred and theo shakes his head calling the incident a targeted crime and says they can stay with him and danny for the semester, Having spare bedrooms and no roommates helps. Thanking him luke looks to see dannys door open with him cuddling up to nate with his arm around him sleeping. Luke mentions they should tell nate everything, only for ark to reply that they need to wait for the morning and let him sleep off his high.
Kappa Sigma Life: Chp 3
Rustling in his sleep, nate awakens to turn over and see danny sleeping next to him. Confused he pulls the covers over and widens his eyes rolling out of bed trying to sneak out of the room. Danny rolls over and with a smirk looks at Nate raising his eyebrow asking if he slept. “look im sorry if anything happened man, but I don’t remember much after getting kissed and well I hope I was at least a gentleman about it.” Danny bellows in laughter as he explains that nothing happened and nate was too messed up on some mixture of lsd and molly so theo and him took him to their place to crash. “you were pretty messed up so I had you take a shower, got you out, dried you off, and the minute you landed in my bed I just saw you pass out, so left you like that, good thing for a queen sized beds right.” Nate scratches his head relieved nothing out the ordinary occurred and asks if anything else happened. “aside from you wimpering in your sleep and me cuddling you to make you better, nothing at all.” Nate sighs and turns to leave seeing his phone on the charger reading 9am. “well good thing I didn’t sleep to late, but I think im gonna take a personal day from the gym im still a little on edge.” Danny looks at nate as he leaves the room grabbing his boxers looking at his ass and smiling. Theo walks by the door seeing nate head to the bathroom and looking at danny, “hey been a while since you had a guy in your bed.” Danny looks at him chuckling telling him to fuck off, and theo walks off seeing nate standing at the bathroom door
As nate waits for the bathroom to be available. “yo theo, how many people live in this house?” theo explains that it was only him and danny but explains that ark has to explain some things that happened last night. “yeah I tweaked out and blanked out of my memory, didn’t do much thanks to you guys, im really grateful.” “no dude, you don’t understand and I didn’t tell danny all of what happened since you guys were asleep by the time we all got the news.” Ark walks out of the bathroom looking at nate and tells him he should shower and get a stiff drink cause there is a lot to discuss. Taking a quick wash and coming out. theo hands nate a glass of rum telling him to sit down, ark lighting a joint explains that the dorm was vandalized and everything was trashed making it unlivable, the University Police had taped off the area and explained that our residence will change until further notice. Nate takes a large gulp and breaths deeply. “okay that was a lot to take in, any idea on who did it?” ark explains that it must have been the footballers as no other group has a issue with them. Luke comes out of a room carrying a duffle bag wearing a Maplewood Beserkers jersey and tells the guys hes gotta go to practice.
Nate shrugs and tells luke to be careful around the TE boys as if they did target their dorm they might do something to Luke since he is a hybrid. “come on bro your looking  a mix of who massive beasts, the bull and the bear, the Italian romantic, the otaku with the eye for art, Luke Benito.” Nate and ark look at one another and laugh harshly at his remarks, nate explaining that Luke is still without a woman in his bed and hes younger than the entire gang. Grunting luke walks up to nate asking if ark told him what happened. Nate tells him  ark did tell him and remarks its feeling heavy. “yeah man we all feeling it, ill drop by later at the dorm to pick up some of my stuff, whatever’s left of it.” Ark tells nate they need to do the same and contact UP and make a statement. Theo and danny come in explaining they will take the guys out later to buy some new clothes and bedding and new luggage as theirs were trashed. Nate sighing immeditaly jolts up feeling his pocket. Pulling out his wallet and the necklace he wears he feels relieved that he didn’t lose that. Danny looks at the necklace which a rectangular piece of silver on  a metallic black chain etched with roman lettering. “nice necklace bro, what Is it?” nate explains it’s a piece of the remains of the Hagia Sophia before its reconstruction, the silver is a piece of an altar demolished to make way for new repairs.
Ark makes a comment on that it must of cost a shit ton of money for one little piece, but marvels that the crafting is clear in design. Nate puts the necklace on going to dannys room checking his phone, missing a call from his aunt he breaths and dials her up. “ciao zia, qual è la parola, si è successo qualcosa nel campus, sì sto registrando il rapporto oggi, no non so se qualcosa può essere salvato, sì ho ancora lui la collana, okay ci vediamo presto, starò al sicuro, amo anche tu”
(hi auntie, what's the word, something happened on campus, yes I'm recording the report today, no I do not know if anything can be saved, yes I still have the necklace, okay see you soon, I'll be safe, I love you too)
Going out of his room he tells Theo and danny his aunt is dropping by to make sure everything is okay, with danny asking if he was speaking Italian on the phone. “yes she has a thing about privacy so I speak in Italian on the phone with her to ensure that no one can hear.” Ark remarks he could of just sent her a text, but nate remarks she is driving already and that be dangerous. Since it’s a four hour drive nate and ark decide to head to the dorm and see what can be salvaged from the wreck. Danny and theo look at them as they leave remarking that they should stay in case nates aunt appears. At the dorm, ark and nate see the tape over the busted door and crawl under going to their respective rooms. Nate picks up a safe that held his laptop and puts it in his messenger bag and sees his books are all trashed beyond recognition. “how can anyone be so savage over one little incident?” ark in his room can only take his stash and his computer as they two look around they see the entire apartment was beaten to a pulp. Nate remarks it looks like a stampede occurred and that there isn’t much they can do now. Coming down the hall they see luke sweating carrying his gear and looking tired. “yo guys, anything left for us to grab?” ark replies that the only thing left was lukes room and that there isn’t much they can do about the place and residence change won’t be a tough deal. Luke looks in his room seeing it shambles grabbing his laptop and walking out. “fuck that was a mess, but thankfully locking away electronics is smart.” Walking back down the three converse about the past incident and bring up that its quite a travesty but it’s not over yet.
Heading to the UP station they make their statement with nate explaining that a Tau Epsilon brother, a muscular cheetah slipped him a pill and tweaked out before crashing at a friend’s house. The police record their statement and tell the boys the watch themselves closely for the next week before classes start.
(at Maplewood, students in the summer get a week to explore campus and enjoy the parties before studies begin)
Nate takes a copy of the report and puts it in his bag thankful that the police believed their story and were looking into the matter of who started this incident. Going back to the house all five boys spark a joint and smoke up the room, only to hear the doorbell ring. Theo goes to the door to open it only to find a tall raccoon standing asking if this is where nate is. “uh yeah may I ask who you might be?”. The woman explains she is nates aunt Rebecca and received a phone call from the college stating he had his dorm vandalized. Getting up nate walks to his aunt and hugs her happy to see her, she looks at him and remarks that even with the shit happening hes still smiling. “well life isn’t about looking at whats lost, what you still have matters.” Shrugging she hugs him again, “im just glad your safe, gone one weekend and all hell breaks loose, call me overprotective but I cant let anything happen to you husky.” nate scratches his head exclaiming she always has to embarrass him in front of people. Looking at the group, luke tries hiding the weed and joints only for her to sit down asking for one. Confused by the room nate explains shes a avid smoker and got him into it at 16, theo rolls her a joint passing it and lights it. Taking a huge drag and puffing out rings. Rebecca explains shes going to the dean and getting the story straight, she wants all the details and not the ones UP give out, the full story. “this was a targeted assault, againt the hybrid dorm particulary, added to homophobia I can’t sit back and let that go.” She finishes the joint and goes to walk out, only for ark to ask what shes gonna do. “I am just going to calmly talk to the dean and get things straightened out, you boys aren’t even in trouble, but I wanna make sure whoever is responsible is given proper punishment.” As she walks out danny notices she is very scary and a bit sly only for nate to reply that she is ex military combatant and a  biological researcher for the Dept of Gene Recovery.
Looking at everyone, nate laughs and explains she looks into the regressive gene syndrome in people and tries to find the root of the cause. Ark smiles saying he knew what the department was, just wanted to see what everyone else was thinking. Getting up he walks out going to campus, luke tries to get him to stay and not get into trouble, “bro I got a text from one of the girls last night, im heading to her place for a little afternoon fun, ill be back in a few hours or so.” Luke looks at ark head to toe and questions how a behemoth of a 250 lb land sloth could get so many girls. “its cause im fierce looking and draw them in, its called being an alpha.” Nate chuckles at luke and smokes the rest of his joint, only to feel danny run his hand up his shirt. “speaking of fun maybe we could do a little.” Nate puts his hand back on his lap and remarks hes not really in the right mindset and wants to wait a while, danny apologizes as nate goes to take a nap. Before ark leaves he tells danny that rushing things doesn’t work out for many people. Going to his room he sees nate shirtless in bed with the fan blasting against his fur. Danny goes to rub his arm as nate turns slightly. “im okay with cuddling if you want, but no physical stuff, I just wanna relax.” Danny takes his shirt off and wraps his arms around nate and closes his eyes nuzzling against his fur. “I wanted to know, when you were whimpering in your sleep, who’s Sergio?” Nate remarks he wouldn’t want to talk about it just yet and danny lets it go as they rest in bed with the shades drawn.
Theo walks by and remarks that its adorable that their sleeping together in bed. Luke walks by and chuckles that they look like two big furry body pillows for Danny to get up and shut the door in their face, crawling into bed going back to nate who smiles saying that was rude but hilarious. Going to the girls dorm, ark is dragged in by a doe and pushed onto the bed. The girl pulls his shirt off and feels his body all over. “god your chubby but firm as all hell”. Ark replies that its just how hes build dense and powerful. He flings her up to him kissing her as she takes her shirt off. “how you like it beast, rough or slow?” ark replies he will go whatever way she wants to as she reaches into his pants jerking him off. “rough it is then, and by god you really are huge, I was twisted last night and forgot how big you were.” She pulls out his dick from his shorts pulling them down and licks it on the shaft. Ark puts his hand on her arms and lays her down. Sticking his tongue out he goes down on her and he massages her tits enticing her for more. His cock throbbing, he lubes her up ready for playtime and thrusts it in her all at once making her scream in pleasure. “Yes ark, yes ark, give it to me please!”. Ark goes even deeper faster and faster as she begs for it rough. Pulling her ears she calls his name saying hes a master  and he needs to tame her, ark kisses her shoving his tongue down her throat feeling her cumming, he pulls her tits making her climax laying her in bed. He finishes by jerking onto her tits and exclaims she should clean up. In the shower he presses her against the glass and goes for round two as the two shower together. Heading out the doe hopes he calls her again and it was fun when he pulled her ears. “I just know what girls like is all.”
Going back to the house he sees bags of stuff all over, theo has went out and bought all new posters clothes and luggage for them after losing most of their shit. Rebecca returns soon after looking at everything and asks for her card back, theo gives it back with the receipt and explaims a lot of the stuff was on sale. Rebecca replies its not a big deal they didn’t need to worry about cost and all they needed was to relax and stay clear of the football players, aside from luke who is a member. Ark remarks she must of earned a lot of money while on tour of duty, only for Rebecca to exclaim that the military doesn’t do shit for pay and getting bills paid took both her and her husband to compensate before getting into medical research. Going in her purse she lays out housing costs and many house on foreclosure for cheap, “start looking, and as of now im staying for a while, I can crash at a hotel while we get things straightened out got it.” Ark replies that they have no money for a house and couldn’t possibly expect her to lay out any cash.
Rebecca lays a check for 100000 dollars on the table telling ark that it doesn’t matter, all that matters to her is her nephews college and life. Theo looks at the zeros asking how in gods name she can afford a house. “my husband life insurance policy kicked in only recently so I got lots to spare, but that doesn’t mean im funding every little thing got it.” Ark agrees and looks at a large manor for 40000 with 8 bedrooms and 4 baths. Theo remarks that there isn’t much they can do with this home as its huge and what would they need the house for. “I want you boys to be safe and this is close to campus and heavily gated with a security system so don’t worry.” Nate walks in greeting Rebecca and looking at the housing listings. “Over Yonder, those are huge!”, “believe big guy, you guys are choosing which one to live in got it.” Nate looks at the one ark looked at prior and loves the old style colonial feeling and exclaims that theres enough room for everyone and then some. “you know guys, we could use this as a frat house, and considering were upbeat and party animals we could probably get the ball rolling on it.”  Theo remarks that isn’t a bad idea but what would they stand for little lone call themselves. Nate gets on the couch lighting a joint and remarks simply, “Kappa Sigma, We represent Formality and entertainment.” Ark nods in agreement and explains he could dj most of the parties, nate is good with getting peoples attention, Danny is well organized with paperwork, and Theo can act as dealer for weed at the parties.
Luke comes in asking what the commotion is and is told the situation. He explains he wants to be in on it but cant just abandon the Tau brothers. Nate shrugs saying its understandable and that its his decision, while danny looks a little annoyed, “those assholes trash your dorm drug your roomie and fucked up your first weekend, how in holy hell have you be friends with them?” luke explains theres no proof they did it yet and its speculation, for all they knew someone must of gotten ticked and chose to fuck with them. Seeing the point luke takes his bag but holds his head feeling light, only for theo to grab him and help him up. “uh luke, you good little guy.” “yeah yeah im fine just a little woozy from practice they had us doing a lot today so think I need to rest. “ark comments that might not be normal post work out pain but something else, while Theo explains they have done a lot of sketchy shit trying to get the growers to help make some steroids for the new players. Danny looks into the room to see luke laying down and looks through his duffel bag, underneath his gear is a bunch of pill bottles labeled with roids and sees theres at least 25 capsules of them. He takes the bag and brings it into the living area dumping it onto the table showing everyone. “I think our little bullbear is becoming a drug mule, these are totally from the pushers, they use these types of containers all the time.” Rebecca shakes her head stating that they need to talk to him immediately. Theo goes to wake up Luke and brings him into the living room where he explains he isn’t undserstanding whats going on and that the Taus just gave him a new bag as an apology for wrecking his stuff. The group look at one another and realize that he must have been used as a little smuggler to the dorms.
Ark tells him he can’t be with those TE or they might end up costing him a lot more than his room. Looking in his bag luke sees the pills and says he cant believe they would give him this much stuff. Nate retorts “they use the newbies to smuggle shit into dorms, sell it to kids that need to lose weight then collect dues for brothers by recruiting them, rince and repeat.” Theo advises  that luke should probably return the bag and jersey before anything transpires further, danny stops him explaining they will take the drugs and bring them to UP explaining the situation. “better off we go since they know us as growers and we have good word over the freshman, sorry guys just something that makes more sense.” Ark nate and luke agree and luke leaves the pills taking his bag and heading out once more to the Tau Epsilon house, leaving the rest to worry about him. Rebecca remarks hes a gullible kid with a lot of need to be accepted, with nate shaking his head “its sad but reality hits hard at the worst times.”  As the day progresses nate and the others enjoy a good meal made by Rebecca seeing luke coming in looking solemn but with a grin on his face. “yeah I think I got us even worse with the football players.” Nate smirks and asks what he did, for which luke states he took his jersey and burned it at the tau house in front of the brothers and threw it into the chapter presidents garbage causing to set fire. Ark and nate laugh hysterically contemplating why they weren’t there for that.
Rebecca gets a knock at the door going and getting two garment bags in her hands from a delivery man. Luke sits down and eats happy he made his brothers laugh. Rebecca comes in with the garment bags and gets them on the chair. Ark asks what the bags are for and she remarks that the dean is seeing ark and nate tomorrow for their talk about being a frat and the new house and need to dress the part. “suit tie pants the works got it boys.” Nate and ark groan at having to wear tight clothes but put up with it. That night after hard drinking and smoking danny and nate lay in bed wide awake unable to sleep, danny roles over cuddling nate and telling him if hes okay with this tonight. Nate smirks and says hes in the mood for something else, while danny drifts his hand lower rubbing nates boxers feeling them bulging up, “god your right, you really are horny.” Nate replies he hasn’t done anything in two days and needs to let off some steam, especially after missing the gym. As the moonlight hits the bed danny pulls off nates boxers licking his cock shaft to head and feeling it deep in his mouth. “damn your experienced, that feels wonderful.” Nate pulls him by the horns and deepthroats his cock into his mouth while grunting. Moving up danny plays with nates nipples and twists them making his cock throb harder. The two of them lay in bed with danny on top of him massaging his cock against his ass, “let me do the work, you relax okay buddy”, nate blushes smiling as it’s a first anyone let that happen. Grunting and moaning as danny slowly sits on nates dick, he remarks its very thick and straight perfect for riding. Getting all the way in the two play with each others tender bodies with nate running his hand through dannys fur feeling the gentle caress of his firm paws on him, danny jerks his cock stating he hasn’t been with anyone in months. Nate replies that over now and hes gonna make him forget those months alone. Flipping danny on his back, nate gives him a stern smile and tells him its his turn to do some work and thrusts in him while stroking dannys cock making it precum. “damn your into it aren’t you.”. “I thought you were a happy go lucky husky boy, since when do you take charge.” Nate retorts “when I started grabbing this bull by the horns”, grabbing his horns getting deeper and deeper into him. Grabbing his sheets nate jerks dannys cock even more until it climaxing on his stomach. Nate ask if he wants him to stop and danny simply tells him to keep going and he can take it. Nate does so getting into lotus position and hearing dannys heartbeat as he pulls him close thrusting into him even harder. Danny calls out “oh Nathan yes, yes, yes, yessssss.” As nate cums pulling out his cock spewing cum out from two days, the two fall back on the bed remarking that it was incredible and they never felt that primal urge of love making before. “I myself usually go gentle and tender, but I just felt I wanted to get a little fierce and rough for once.” Danny remarks hes impressed by nates stamina and asks if he played anything in high school. “I traveled a lot honestly but I did play ultimate and disc golf a lot.” Danny asks about his travels and nate goes onto a share session about his trips to Europe japan and the Caribbean thanks to his aunt and uncle. “woah that’s amazing, I bet you learned a lot overseas.” Nathan gets up to head to the bathroom before turning around pointing at danny and looking at his dick remarking hes ready for another round. Danny laughs and gets up kissing Nate pulling him back into the bed.   The two go at it until the wee hours of the morning and fall asleep feeling the sun hit their eyes. Nate goes and shuts the blinds telling danny they can sleep in. danny agrees and spanks nates ass as he closes them. “firm but supple that’s my kind of man. “well you got a muscly build on you and I love it, very big burly with a goatee and those horns, I’m guessing your Italian right. Danny remarks he actually bull/yak honestly and he has a lot of mixed blood but took more after his dad with his grandfather coming from Tibet. Nate gets back into bed kissing danny and exclaiming a lot of people should see the world as mixed instead of pure. The two kiss as Theo walks by, “good morning boys, glad to see your both up again.” Both look down and pull the covers over them as they laugh and smile wishing theo a good morning.
Kappa Sigma Life: Chp 4
Nate goes down stairs after cuddling with danny much of the morning with his aunt on the phone with one of the real estate agents calling about the house they wanted to buy. “yes 1950 colonial, the one on foreclosure, yes I have the money and yes I will buy today, it’s a beautiful home.” Waving to nate she sees him taking some coffee and going back upstairs. “remember nate I have to go to the house today and fill out paperwork, and I called the movers and told them to move the stuff in, everything should be done by around 4pm” nate gives a thumbs up seeing ark and theo rolling joints and smoking from a bong. “that’s new usually we use papers instead of pieces”, ark replies they need more papers and the need for pieces is adamant so they should hit up a shop in town later sometime. Rebecca comes in reminding ark and nate that they will need to meet with the dean the next morning so no late night shenanigans or they will miss their appointment. Ark shrugs saying hes used to having shit to do and nate is always a morning person. Theo offers Rebecca a joint of his new strain and she partakes before heading out. “remember boys im not going to be around today so no goofing off, look through the papers I have on the kitchen table and have luke call up the parents okay, we need them to see what kind of house you will be living in, proper and elegant, or so they will think.” Ark looks at nate asking what she meant by that as she leaves.
“oh the plan is we throw a welcome party to the adults in the day and show what we are as a frat dressed well and doing what we need to keep our grades up and responsibility but at night when they leave, we turn the place into the biggest hot box on campus, rigging the vent shafts with industrial heat enclosures and filling the house with THC. “is that really fucking possible?’ theo asks as nate grins at him telling him his aunt knows a few things from the military to rig a system up. Luke comes down and comments everyone is awake early. Ark tosses him the packet of the parents number  telling he needs to call them. “what…..why?” ark replies that he is a brother too and needs to pull his weight. Nate decides to hit the gym and jogs seeing Geoff running a little ways farther, catching up the two laugh and high five one another. At the gym they help one another out with deadlifting and cardio, nate asking if he had been with any guys yet. “no sorry just ben busy practicing for the season, I joined the beserkers football team, they have me as a defensive end, im not fast but im tough to knock down, considering one of their players in hospitalized and another quit.” Nate scratches his head knowing exactly what hes talking about and comments he should be careful with the Tau brothers. Geoff states he knew what happened and wanted to say he thinks it was awful but not all the brothers are bad. “most are all freshman and just wanna play ball, not hurt anyone it’s the chapter president and that cheetah that cause problems, trying to push us to do really weird pills, I fake it and get mass on my own time not with enhancements” nate pats him on the back and comments it looks like he already lost a few pounds. “oh yeah cut out junk food and eat just straight food with protein so I lost like 5 pounds in a few days.
Nate comments that they will be starting a new frat and that if Geoff wants to join he would be welcomed as he is a respectable guy. As they finish up and head to the showers nate looks at Geoff pondering what could possibly happen to him at TE, with Geoff looking back at him and telling him he did find something out about the incident at the dorms. As it turned out a mongoose pusher hybrid told riley about the two of them leaving his dorm and thought that it was suspicious of him being gay little lone a hybrid, riley has a hatred for them for unknown reasons. Nate shakes his head saying that it really isn’t right they get targeted for simply being who they are. bumping fists in the shower and leaving, nate walks off and Geoff asks if they could ever have some fun again and finish where they left off. “when the drama blows over and we start our frat feel free to find me anytime anywhere you big leo, I might even have a friend who wants to join. Geoff blushes as he walks off running into riley who tells hi to stay away from hybrids if he knows whats good for him, and having word get out of his escapade with nate would damage the teams reputation. Looking away Geoff scoffs telling riley to get over his ego and that the guys are nice and Tau Epsilon is not exactly the epitome of good nature themselves.
Nate gets a call from Rebecca telling him that they are getting the house as they speak the furniture will be delivered soon enough, wifi and utilities were hooked up before the purchase and everyone should be set. The house cost only 40000 and the building will be paid off by Rebecca in payments , all they have to do is clean and keep everything neat. Getting to theo and dans, theo is calling up students on his buyer list about the party the following day, ark is looking at the deans agreement and meeting plans to discuss frat initiation, and luke is on the phone with his parents. “yes dad I left the football team, it wasn’t good that I was caught up in some shit and I wanted to keep away from it when our dorm got messed up, thanks for understanding, ill see you tomorrow, bye.” Luke looks at nate, “oh good for you to join us husky, go help with something.” Nate laughs and says he needed to work out and get the excess amount of drugs out of him. Ark hands nate the plans with the dean and looks it over. “you and I are gonna go tomorrow morning and get things started, hopefully we don’t get screwed.” Nate looks at ark saying nothing can go wrong so long as both of them are there. Looking at the table he sees gunpowder and ammo on the coffee table asking what that’s about. “some new experiment im doing for explosives as a demolition trade major I wanted to see what I can do, but the frat stuff came first so im putting it on the back burner for now.” Nate comments he cant go wrong with sulfur oxide and a little bit of combustible liquid in the center as it usually works wonders. Ark looks over to nate and says that he isn't using that beginner crap, and that he is using his own experimental blend of secret ingredients. “even a secret from me?” nate asks as he tries to look at what ark wrote down, with ark quickly hiding it and responding with a very low growl “yes.”
The group does their work as ark gets a call on his phone from the dean. “hello, yes, yes, yes, okay fine we will be there tomorow .” Ark explains that nate and him gotta get dressed earlier the next morning at 7 not 9 so they can get to the meeting  earlier. “you serious?”. “dude moved it up so we better get moving ourselves. “ luke and theo shrug saying its one thing after another as they finish all the planning for the next day. Rebecca returns giving the key to the boys telling them the moving van is decorating the house and they should be able to move right on in the late afternoon. Thanking her ark lights a joint to relax and starts measuring his material on the coffee table while Rebecca looks on. “seems your skilled with chemicals and minerals may I supervise?” “I would welcome it thank you.” The rest of the boys leave to pack and Rebecca looks as they leave, “I cant thank you for being a good friend to nate, its not easy for him the past few months and he really wants this frat thing to go off without a hitch, and I want you to be chapter president.” Ark looks at her taking a puff, “wouldn’t nate be better off hes a good guy full of life and always has a plan.” Rebecca tells ark that hes a supporter not a leader and being a part of a good team of like minded people is good for him. “god knows that he always knew what to do for himself and others but never knew how to lead a team.” Ark states he sees her point and wouldn’t mind being president.” Rebecca looks over and places a gun on the coffee table, “I heard you were certified with firearms so im giving this to you for protection, I know you can handle it.” Ark looks at the FN Five-seven pistol and remarks it’s a  very nice one. “nate has an M-9 and its supposed to be in his…….oh fuck…..NATE!!!!” nate runs out of his room, “Yeah auntie?”, “Where is that thing I gave you before school started.” Nate come down with a safe in his hands unlocking it and showing her the gun he kept.” Don’t worry I left it with my laptop and recovered it when we went back.” A sigh of relief Rebecca breaths heavy and nate looks at the gun on the table telling ark its nice to be prepared for anything.
A few hours pass and the group get the call they can move into the house, everyone has their bags packed and haul off to see a massive gothic colonial manor with the greek letter K and E on the center of the porch where they admire the crafting done. Rebecca shows them inside showing a massive living area with a walk in kitchen and a epic fire place and projector for viewing. “had the wall art custom made with bands games movies and class, the projector will be perfect for a sound system with ark as DJ, bar is right in the corner and the floor is hardwood to clean easier, Now go upstairs to your rooms. Nate hugs his auntie smiling, “god damn it you are the best.” “im just doing what Dimitri would of done.” He runs upstairs to see his room and ark smiles at her, “auntie raccoon loves her little pup.” Rebecca chuckles saying that he deserves this for being who he is and bringing a better light to the group. “throw a massive party tonight and bring the kids, tomorrow parents visit and a nice hot box to welcome prospects.” Ark replies already taken care of.
The night starts jumping as nate starts drinking and smoking with danny and the two welcome people around the house giving a tour of their place, luke is actually good at mixing drinks following recipes he found online, theo is passing joints out and ark is spinning tracks of symphonic metal making the house roar. The people crowd around the whole tables and looking at the letters on the wall as Kappa Sigma. Getting on the table, Nate calls out the mantra of the frat, “WE ARE KAPPA SIGMA WE STAND FOR FORMALITY AND ENTERTAINMENT.” Hearing the crowd roar the girls cry for him to take his shirt off, drunk and high he does so flexing and dancing on the table making everyone scream their name “KAPPA SIGMA, KAPPA SIGMA”, looking down nate sees bills flying to him from the crowd and undoes his belt, “wanna see more, pay up people.” The girls scream as he takes his pants off dancing in his boxers as danny looks on. “no matter what happens, im glad I get the real show at night.” Theo looks at him, “seriously were calling you horndog from now on.” The party jumps like crazy as nate flips off the table collecting his cash going to ark and feeling proud. “DUDE 400.” Ark takes the money splitting it in half. “lets keep this up man we can make a killing from your stripping.” Taking the money the party keeps going as ark stops spinning and enjoys himself seeing a elk/ rabbit girl stumbling around, helping her up he takes her downstairs to the guest room and puts her on the bed. Slowly closing the door he see luke looking inside, “oh my aren’t you a little rascal tonight, didn’t wanna take night off. “shut it luke the girls  buzzed out of her mind im getting a bucket, wheres dan I need his help with this?” luke goes upstairs opening the door to see nate and danny naked in bed kissing one another. Dan retorts “knock first bull/bear.” Ark walking up remarks he should of locked the door or at the very least put a sock on. The two cover themselves with the comforter and luke closes it. “wow that was a sight eh?”, Ark “just tell him to get downstairs.” Theo walks by with a girl around his arm, ark pulls him “sorry for the cock block but theres a girl knocked out drunk.” Theo tells him to simply turn her to the side and get a bucket. Dan walks out in his shorts and follows ark saying the girl probably doesn’t know her limits or was given too much by the guests as luke was making sure to only give a 4 drink minimum. Seeing the girl on the bed they put the bucket turning her on her side, ark stumbles into an adjacent chair and falls asleep, danny remarks she will be fine and she can spend the night and ark will know if something happens.
The following morning nate gets up at 6 and wakes ark up where they both go get coffee, Rebecca giving them cups and telling them to get dressed. Ark goes back downstairs to find the girl awake and surprised, “you didn’t do anything did you, I don’t remember much.” “you blacked out we brought you here away from the party to rest, seems you didn’t vomit which is good, are you hung over.” “god yes and I guess I have to say, thanks but I gotta go im sorry for the trouble.” Ark asks if she wants some breakfast only for her to rebuff she needs to go, “thank you, uh…..”, “its arkad slowmann but call me ark or behemoth if you prefer.”, “no no ark is good, im sophie myers, thank you for the offer but I will pass, just wanna get back.” Ark shows her out and sees theo and danny asking how she felt, “shes fine but hung over thankfully didn’t vomit.” Nate goes to ark telling him they need to go.
the two go upstairs taking turns using the shower and getting ready.  Nate goes upstairs opening the garment bag seeing a black suit with a navy blue button down shirt and a matching tie with black loafers. “god I hate dressing up but cant be helped.” Getting dressed danny comes into the room out of the shower and straightens nates tie. “Hello mr. wileson your appointment will be at 9am sharp do you need some coffee.” Nate laughs and tells him to shut it when he walks out and sees ark dressed up as well fidgeting with his collar looking uncomfortable. “Oy gevalt, this is gonna be tiring.” Nate retorts that it is a load of crap but if it gets them on the frat list, so be it. They go downstairs where rebecca gives them some papers. “remember you two, remain proper and firm on your organization, I already got confirmation from luke that the parents are coming today and they will arrive later in the morning around 10 to see their boys in their new home, fuck this is all happening so fast.” Ark remarks that it is happening fast and it’s thanks to her that they are able to do everything in order. Nate looks at ark dressed up, “stop playing with your clothes bro, we got to go.” The two leave and drive to campus seeing the dean welcoming them from outside the student services building.
“Greetings boys, please come on in.” ark and nate following suit and sit in his office in chairs as he pulls out his files. “appears you both have a good standing from your previous colleges as well as no records or demerits, that’s impressive, ark you were a part of your high school chemistry team and nate you played ultimate in the final year of high school as well as at your trade school in rome, very fine boys you both will be on campus, I don’t see a problem of you being a fraternity so long as you obey the rules, but as of now you can only be unrecognized and I will need to see your house and ensure it is not in shambles. Ark responds they will not leave the place a mess and they will be on their best behavior as the parents are coming tomorrow to meet the brothers, they have five reps already including himself and nate.
Nate responds that they stand for formality and entertainment, never welcome hard drugs and only use recreational marijuana only allowing those legal age to partake in their home, all alcohol is done by their brother luke who is a bartender, and danny is acting med student can help any student who does too much. The dean grins saying it seems they have their ducks in a row but they still need to discuss something as he had just received a notification that girl was in their home last night passed out. “yes a girl got too drunk so we put her to bed, and we made sure she was fine, no one violated her or anything, I made sure of that.” The dean pulls out the notification, “appears someone did a anomynous tip and said that did transpire, this is merely speculation and im looking into it but it appears whoever did the statement thinks low of you boys, nates aunt vouched for you and I will believe a member of our armed forced over the word of a stranger anyday, but this is still a formality.” Ark retorts that having a bunch of degenerates make false accusations and tarnish the name of another is something that has already happened to them once and following these allegations is not a fine line but crossing over the threshold to ambiguity. The dean agrees and say he will see to it that there is no further allegations against the group under false pretenses. Seeing the two off they decide to head back to the house, seeing as its only 8 nate gets a call from Rebecca to come to the gym with her for training. Groaning he hates sparring with her but he could use the excersise.
Heading off after dropping ark back, he finds two girls smoking calling him over. “hey big guy aren’t you cute in a suit, whats the occasion.” Pointing to the house he states that he is forming a frat with friends and needed to meet with the dean, the girls introducing themselves as mary and Selena state they could relieve some stress from him if they wish. Following them to their house across the street, they remark they saw him last night but were busy with a doe girl. Ark tells them he helped her when she was drunk nothing more, the three then go in to have a threesome, theo hearing the screams and moans form the front door. “god damn hes always getting some.” Seeing luke and danny dressed up, he remarks that its almost time for parents visit.” Rebecca and nate spar in kickboxing remarking he has gotten slow and over the last year. “I was in rome and spent most of my time working, what you expect.”, “for you to keep up.” Ark with the two girls around his arms looks at his phone, “9am, gotta get going.” Getting up the girls tell him to drop by anytime. Going back he straightens his tie and shirt going in seeing all three others ready. “wheres nate and Rebecca?”, theo tells him still at the gym, luke sends a message as cars pile in, showing that the parents came early, theo looking out “woah check out the military bike, is that your parents ark?” ark looks “yup good old mom and dad are here.” As they open the door danny welcomes a black bull and brown yak, “hey mom, hey dad”, his dad hugging him telling him he has an amazing place and shakes arks hand. “my boy you must be the president, damn you’re a strong man, im Marco and this is my wife Isabelle.” Ark welcomes them as the parents come in seeing theos mom and dad ecstatic to see their son, “ahhhhhh Theodore, how is the growing going?”, “fine dad, but please stop calling me that please, its theo, ark these are my folks Jason and Rachel turner.” Ark welcomes them as he notices his mom and dad walking in, “mom dad pleasure for you to make it.” Ark dad remarks his son grew a lot more than expected looking like a ceo of his own company, “some asshole clipped my bike on the way here, but that’s another matter how is everything.”
Ark replies its all nice and good hering from the back, “WHOS COCK DID HE SUCK TO GET THIS PLACE.” Ark pays no mind and gives the family a tour. Showing the rooms everyone is in awe at the architecture seeing that the wall art was taken down and stashed away. Hearing more profanity from the back ark glares at a wolf and hyena talking off about their kid being a fag. Ark looks at theo and asks if nate and Rebecca came back, “yeah coming back now they are coming through the back into the kitchen. Going in they leave the group to luke and danny who head them upstairs and nate comes in fixing his jacket and Rebecca  wearing a black dress hears the vulgar remarks. “oh no don’t tell me their here, please don’t tell me… god damn it.”, Nathan looks up seeing his folks and sighing, “over yonder it had to happen eventually.” Ark replies if he wanted to leave he can but Nate simply tells him he can deal with them and they don’t owe him anything anymore. Going up he hears the vulgarity, “oh look the little cock boy came back, all high and mighty.”, “sir if you keep this up you will be vacated  and sent to jail.” The wolf goes up to nate cocking him in the face causing his mouth to bleed, “you aint nothing boy, always been a regret.” continuing ark takes the wolf and hyena throwing them out and breaking the wolfs ribs accidently as he fell to the ground. Wiping the blood nate follows seeing the wolf hold his ribs pulling a switch blade out aiming it at ark. Nate walks over and pulls his gun out. “hows it feel being threatened by a fag.” The wolf pisses himself as ark tells them they are calling the police. Nate lifts the gun up pulling the trigger but has no ammo, the wolf shocked as nate pistol whips him in the face, “I don’t need you, never have never will now get out of my life and off my property.” The police arrive taking the two away as nate goes in hearing the screaming from both going upstairs to smoke and read. Rebecca tell ark he will be okay and needs just some privacy. Danny comes in and snuggles up to him kissing his forehead telling him that was badass hitting his own dad in the face. “eh been wanting to do that for a while.” Staying in bed the two cuddle until 5 when Rebecca comes to get them for dinner.
The parents are impressed by how loyal the brothers are to one another and how marvelous a home they have. By nine they clear out and Rebecca tells the boys its time to get the hotbox ready. Theo and danny start setting up as ark and nate change and hang the wall art back up, luke gets the bottles from the basement and start mixing recipes. Ark puts his sound system up and the group shut the vents as Rebecca inspects the hotbox already filling the house. The 5 already high get the party started at 11 with so many people coming in, theo giving joints out and danny showing off the projector. Nate starts doing his stripping with everyone cheering and throwing money. This time making 600 he splits it with ark and they start laughing out loud at the shit they had to deal with the entire day. “hows your mouth bro.” “fine fine lets just fucking party.” The group starts doing their own thing as luke makes perfect cocktails, and ark finds sophie toking in the living room. “returned to our den I see.” Sophie laughs and says its stuffy but nice in here, “I wanted to tell you that my brother made the statement not me, I told a friend and he told my brother.” Ark asks who her brother is to which she replies “riley, you know chapter president of Tau Epsilon, hes an asshole and does whatever he wants to get his way.” Ark agrees with a sigh and asks If she wants a drink. “no thanks ill smoke only tonight.” The two smoke and laugh going outside when she gets two high saying she never smoked before.”ah classic case of virgin lungs worst when it’s a hotbox.” Sophie laughs and says shes so fucking high right now. Ark helps her up when she gets dizzy and she kisses his cheek for being a gentleman, “don’t get the wrong idea, im not hooking up with you, im just being thankful.” Ark “I respect that. Now, lets keep you out here until your better.”
Nate and danny proceed where they left off kissing and hearing the music blasting from down stairs. “good thing we locked the door.” The two strip each other as dan runs his hands through his fur telling nate he wants it doggie style.” Pressing him against the wall nate holds his arms pinning him and kissing his neck and lightly biting his nipple. “hows that horndog, you like that?” danny moans as he wants more and places his hands against the wall turning around. pulling his tail with one hand and holding a horn with the other, Nate thursts into danny hearing him bellow that its fucking tight tonight. “that’s right, haven’t done it all day so we gotta get you loosened up. Burying his face in his ass he eats danny out as he strokes his cock and licking his hole. “oh nate that’s amazing, put it in puppy.” Nate wraps his arms around danny and slides his cock in pounding him against the door. Luke and theo hearing it walking away as they see the door bashing. Pushing danny on the bed he lifts his legs kissing his feet licking his leg as he slides his cock in again sideways in corkscrew. “this is much better, aint it.” Danny cries out that it feels so good as nate pulls his nipples and makes his cock cum all over the bed. “fuck nate yes, more more more, please!” nate pounds him faster and harder sweating bullets as he pulls out and jerks his load on his ass taking him by the horns and making him clean it up. “damn bull you really are one rodeo of sexual delights. “and you’re a fucking ray of sunshine after a storm when you fuck. Falling on the bed nate strokes dannys chin and tells him hes glad he was there when his parents got arrested. Danny slides his hands to nates and holds It kissing it telling him he felt he needed some help. The two fall asleep on the bed holding hands and nate dreams of leaving rome getting a letter two months after his uncles funeral from Sergio telling him hes breaking up with him. “if you wish to part from me because of a loss how will you ever attempt to come back.” Nate talks in his sleep, “was its actual romance to you or just another notch on your belt for two years.”, danny looks over seeing nate wimper a bit and holds him. “its okay sunny boy, I got you.” He sees nate smile and the two fall asleep content on the days events.
Kappa Sigma Life: Chp 5
Nate and Rebecca awaken early to go to the gym, Nate feeling a bit sore from the previous night’s session with danny. Rebecca looks at her nephew fondly telling her she’s proud of him and hopes everything works out for the Kappas, as she planned to leave in the afternoon and get back to the ranch. Nate looks at her a little sad, “daw but I cant live without my auntie raccoon.” “oh calm yourself with the sarcasm, we get enough of that from arkad, but in all seriousness, you’ve come an long ways husky.” “you know I don’t like that auntie, and seriously you always get way too into sparring.” The two train in kickboxing with Rebecca making Nate fall on his ass repeatedly before calling it quits, “stamina is perfect, your body was slow with the reaction time, what gives.” Nate sticks his tongue out and says he and danny have been trying it a little bit more rough lately, “great image of my loving nephew but its good to know your getting out of your comfort zone.” The two converse as nate notices Geoff coming in wearing gloves and a sweatshirt ready to work out, finding it strange that classes start in two days but the weather is warm as hell he pays no mind to it. Rebecca and him lift weights as he sees Geoff struggling to do curls and lilting the barbell. Going over he asks if he is okay only for Geoff to rebuff hes fine, and that he would prefer to work out alone today.
Concerned as he always wants to workout with nate, he lets him be until he hits the showers, Rebecca gets changed and pays her visitor fee and waits outside, “god I hope he didn’t find a guy he liked in there, I got to pack.” Nate washes down as he notices two hulking wolves glancing at him, “ignore the purebreds they can think whatever they want.”, noticing them leave he goes to the locker room to change to see Geoff sneaking into the showers alone, while curious he keeps his distance as he notices him pulling off his shirt with tufts of fur missing and his paws slightly burned. Going in he watches Geoff seethe in pain while washing down. Nate walks in asking if hes actually planning on going to the nurse. “its really nothing, just a frat initiation.” Nate takes his paw looking at it, “these are second degree burns, and you lost some fur, you’ve been taking the pills they gave you haven’t you?” Geoff looks at nate saying its for practice and the games are gonna be tough if your not brolic, plus he left his dorm after his roommate stole some cash and is crashing at the TE house, since hes becoming a brother. “brothers don’t burn their prospects hands and force them to get big through some bullshit pusher concoction, your coming with me okay, I gotta get you to my friend danny for a detox, you’re a mess.” “I don’t need it im fine. Nate feels his pulse and lifts some fur from his arm. “Your heartbeat should be fast not slow after a workout, and your fur is falling out in clumps, Geoff please, we helped luke, we can help you too.” “I thought you only welcomed hybrids?”. “we welcome all those who are good to people.” Geoff tears up and hugs nate thanking him, getting dressed he helps Geoff into the truck and heads back to the house.
Getting inside he explains to ark what happened, “I don’t fully understand what happens at that frat but I trust nates judgement you can stay in one of the spare rooms downstairs okay, go relax and were going to call one of the nurses over to look at you.” Danny looks at Geoff seeing his eyes are bloodshot and his fur has become pretty thin. “this is definitely classic pusher shit, highly toxic to random species but the fur can come back in a few days, so long as he doesn’t take anymore pills.” Nate looks at sees Geoff falling asleep sitting up, “take a nap little leo, you look like you haven’t slept in days.” “I haven’t, riley has us pulling double practice then initiation then I gotta cater the parties and then clean.” He falls back on the bed with nate and danny pulling the blanket over him letting him rest. “what a mess, Tau epsilon goes way too far merely for wins in the game.” Nate looks at danny asking when the nurse will arrive and was told by around noon. Rebecca goes to the living room where ark is making his ammo and sets a large cardboard box  down in front of him telling him the frats clothes arrived. Opening it up ark picks up a forest green sweatshirt with the letters KE in greek in black letters on the front as well as a black vest with KE written on the right corner. “damn these are nice.” Rebecca states they gotta represent well or no one will know who they are. calling down the boys the five come down seeing the shirts and sweatshirts in the box. Danny takes a black sweatshirt with red lettering, luke takes a light green sweatshirt with dark green lettering, Nathan takes a royal blue sweatshirt with navy blue lettering and theo takes a red sweatshirt with black lettering.
“now you boys look like actual kappas.” Everyone stand together, group photo of the founders” the four boys stand together in front of the fire place in front of their frats wall art getting the picture taken as Rebecca says shes going to get it framed and hang it up later. The doorbell rings and the guys answer seeing the nurse coming in asking to see Geoff. “Another Tau prospect under the influence, third one this week.” going to the basement they see Geoff sweating in bed shivering. “this is going to sound messed up but hes the best case I had all week, give him this detox medicine now and he will be fine by tomorrow, all that influence will be flushed out in his urine.” Paying the nurse nate wakes up Geoff and gives him the medicine. “im sorry for making you guys bother over me, I’m very  grateful I just didn’t want to deal with more animosity by riley again.” Ark comes downstairs and asks what happened. Geoff explains that he was caught by riley talking to Nate and he sassed him only to that night be forced to put his hand on a stove by two of the brothers while they laughed at him. “this morning I noticed my fur falling out and hid it with a sweatshirt and hoped it was nates of day cause he usually runs into me all week, I just didn’t know what to do so I hoped to have alone time and think.” Nate asks the brothers to leave them alone for a bit, wanting to talk to him alone.
Ark ushers the guys out and Geoff gets up needing to use the restroom. Coming out he feels betterand sits on the bed looking at his fur. “fuck I look horrible don’t i.” nate chuckles saying he will look better in a few days since felines fur grow fast, getting a serious look on his face he ask what Geoff planned to do now. “I don’t know what to do, I don’t want to go back, but I have no where to live other than the frat house and he doesn’t want strife if he leaves.” Nate puts his hand on geoffs shoulder, telling him he can stay at Kappa and become a brother, their first official prospect. Smiling he says hes already with TE, to which nate tells him to leave and give up his letters and move on, “but nate, they wont look kindly to that and they’ll cause more of a rift among the two frats.” “we already started off horribly with them for not joining football, anything else is just adding fuel to the fire.” Geoff gets up saying hes hungry and needs something to eat. Going upstairs nate makes him some chicken tenders and lets him eat, with ark coming in asking how hes feeling. “a lot better that shit worked wonders, but I expect the others to come by looking for me.” Ark tells him that if they do he won’t be going with them after what they did, while nate pats him on the head and wraps his names in a cooling balm soothing the burns. “that should help little guy.” Geoff blushes thanking nate for all hes done and looks at the brothers smiling at him. “okay now im a little embarrassed, you guys are awesome but It seems im the only purebred here.” Ark tells him that doesn’t matter as no matter what species you are, theres always room for more people like Geoff, kind and willing to accept comradery when needed, as the first thing they stand for is formality. Rebecca comes in to say goodbye giving the brothers their framed picture and hugs nate goodbye. “have a great semester husky, and remember ill see you in November break for memorial day.” “you got it auntie, I love you and thanks for everything.” As she waves the boys off she goes to ark giving him a letter, “give this to nate tonight its important he reads it.” Looking at the label the letter was addressed to rome but didn’t have a stamp on it, “yeah ill give it to him tonight.” Theo lights a joint offering one to geoff he says he will take anything that isn’t a pill and enjoys a circle with the brothers getting to know him. “well im 21, im a IT major, I love anime manga and a bunch of rpg games, my favorite system is Xbox, with my favorite game being Gears of War, I am secretary  of Gaming Club, and I love playing sports, played football in high school but guess that’s gonna end soon, oh and I think if I had to choose a favorite movie its gonna be either Tron Legacy or Xmen First Class.” The guys nod and say hes seems like a nice guy, theo whispers in nates ear and nate excuses themselves as they gotta go somewhere for a bit and will return shortly. Luke interrupts, “damn we got two massive nerds here now, that’s fucking awesome!.” Ark tells him to settle down and relax before he gets aneurysm, “awe come on hes a otaku like me, he must have great taste, whats your favorite anime?” Geoff looks at him wondering, “ill have to say log horizon, just trapped in a game plots interest me but without the bullshit of SAO.” Luke eyes light up, “hes in I vote yes!”, danny whispers he thinks luke might be getting too into this, only for ark to agree immediately. theo comes back asking for luke to come with them as they will need his help. The three leave in the el camino leaving danny and ark with Geoff.
Danny looks at Geoff and smirk asking how he met nate in the first place. “oh first day on campus we met at the gym and made me feel more open about who I was, I was so nervous about being gay I wanted to shut myself out from people about it, but he showed me what being with a guy was like.” Geoff eyes widen and ask If they were together. “only for a bit I gave my first bj to him but ark interrupted before anything happened.” Ark laughs saying hes basically a behemoth and a cock blocker, leading to danny chuckling and Geoff looking at both of them. “you think he would go all the way with me, I mean I don’t wanna overstep boundaries but I cant stop thinking about him I don’t have any feelings but its just an urge to want him you know.” Ark says he wouldn’t know hes straight and looks at danny who looks away smirking, “well you can always go for it when he gets back.” In his mind its telling him to take it back and say he was kidding, but cant get the words out. Geoff smiles saying he should do that and finally get it over with, plus having nate as a first time wouldn’t be so bad. Ark says he will be sure not to interrupt this time while danny looks at ark asking if he can speak to him. The two step outside with danny asking if he really meant what he said. “of course, if he wants to sleep with nate and if he consents I have no problem, why do you?” “no I just didn’t expect a feline to go for a wolf, its not exactly common.”
Ark tells him if he thinks this is not a good move than talk to Geoff or tell nate how he feels cause he can tell nate would go for Geoff if not a relationship but more a fuck buddy like they have.” Danny looks at ark smiling, “I shouldn’t worry nate isn’t someone who sleeps around.” ark comments, “no but he isn’t against having a few fuck buddies and it seems you like him on an intimate level.” Danny blushes saying he doesn’t know what it is about nate that makes him just wanna cuddle up to him, “the sex is great and he can go mild to wild in any situation, I can talk to him and hes there when you need him, hes always smiling and makes it seem like reality can be better than what it gives you.” Ark laughs, “yeah hes a ball of sunshine most of the time until you piss him off.” Pondering for a moment, “that’s his frat name, sunny.”
Danny looks and says their getting off track, ark replies  that there was no track and if hes gonna be upset than talk to nate about it cause they aren’t a couple and hes free to be with someone else if he wanted. Geoff calls from the room asking if he did anything wrong, “no dude your good just relax a bit.” Looking at Danny, “yeah thatll happen, don’t make the guy feel bad about something he cant control.” Danny goes in and talks to Geoff. “look I know you wanna fuck nate, but he and I are kinda fucking too.” Geoff blushes and says he had no idea they were a couple and didn’t mean to impose that. “no were fuck buddies and I just really like to be with him that’s all, I can understand you’re a virgin and want it to have your first with someone you trust and if you want to I guess it might be what you need.” Geoff states that hes never felt anyones embrace and nate was the first one to actually make him feel comfortable about his sexuality but persists that its not meant to be a long thing, a simple one night stand is all he wants and to finally just get the urge off his back.” Danny smirks and says “im sure nate will make it one to remember.”
Packing up the el camino nate, luke and theo get ready to leave, “man I cant believe you actually got everything for him man.” Nate responds if hes gonna be a brother his room gotta reflect him as a person and nothing more, and converting a guest room to a bedroom is simply adding some new features and a nice bed. They drive off as theo asks if the two of them are good friends, “hes a cool guy, too nerdy for my taste, but hes adorable, and I like bigger guys, not that you didn’t know.” Theo laughs as they all see danny swooning when nate takes his shirt off, only for nate to blush saying he really does enjoy his company, but actually thought about banging a feline before, ive been with bulls, bears, and wolves, but never a tiger or a lion, I hear they go either wild or mild which suits me perfect.” Theo breaks that he didn’t need his special sex history but laughs that Geoff is pretty much an adorable chubby lion and they should think of a name for him for the frat. “well im calling you hash cause your always growing the good shit.” The two laugh as the pull up to the house and text ark to take Geoff outside so they can fix his room up. Ark takes him out back seeing the pool and asks if he likes the house, “holy shit yes, this must have been a fortune.” “no not exactly it was actually cheaper on forclosure we paid 40000 and got enough space for everything.” Geoff makes it apparent he feels kinda out of place with the rest as nate is the only one he knows and seems to have a lot in common with luke so that might be good but still doesn’t know what role he can play for parties, “ah don’t be so nervous, honestly it be nice to do some game nights for a change of pace instead of parties and I think you’d be a good DM.” Geoff scratches his head and thanks ark for the encouragement.
Nate luke and theo hurry and rush in the packages upstairs to the bedroom and set up everything. Texting ark to come inside and bring Geoff upstairs, he does so showing a completely decked out room of gaming memorabilia a flat screen and a queen sized bed.
Geoff tears up turning around with ark throwing a brown sweatshirt with tan letters of the frat at him, “I dub thee, Courage, welcome to Kappa Sigma.” luke laughs as he hears the name saying its ironic cause hes literally more of a turtle in his shell than a lion, geoff looks at him wiht a smirk, “at least i can get what i want runt.”  As the group celebrate with weed and drinks from the bar they get a knock on the door. Nate answers seeing its riley with some Tau brothers with him. “oh hey um sorry private party, come back later.” Riley tells him to shut up and says they have something of theirs, only for Geoff to approach them and throw his sweatshirt at their face, “yeah sorry forgot to give this back before I left, suck a dick you pretentious cum stain”. Riley tries entering confronting Geoff only for nate to pull his gun out and aim it at rileys face. “enter this house unrequested and harass a young man who you drugged and burned, this is considered private property and your trespassing, leave….now.” riley backs up with his hand up saying he didn’t expect some hybrid queer to have any balls.” Ark goes up to them and pulls Geoff away, “he’s our brother, fully recognized and respected you don’t even know the concept of that, come here again and you will not be welcomed with warnings.” Riley scoffs at ark telling him that things really are going to interest him as they begin to leave, he turns letting ark know he just instigated a turf war. ark rolls his eyes and  shuts the door. Geoff apologizes once more and ark tells him its not his fault they deal with assholes. Everyone has a fun night as Geoff goes to nate blushing asking if he could do what he does at parties, the guys look and all agree even if he isn’t getting paid for it. Nate takes a huge swig of rum and gets on the bar taking his shirt off and starts dancing. Luke starts mixing and laughs at Geoff sitting on the couch, “yo look hes got a boner…!”. Geoff covers his crotch saying hes just admiring a good show. Nate gets down and gets on geoffs lap, “why don’t I start where we left off.” Kissing him danny woots at nate with ark looking at him, “seriously everything about nate turns you on.” Danny looks at him saying hes wrong, only for theo to point downwards, “your mouth lies but your dick cant.”
Taking Geoff by the hand nate brings him upstairs where they enter geoffs room kissing on the bed. “I know you want it courage, why don’t we go slow and if you want me to stop I will.” Geof leans in kissing nate, “one night of passion to feel what its like, nothing more.” Nate grins stroking his chin, “of course now lets start with that shirt. Geoff takes it off as nate feels his fur againt his gently kissing him and running his fingers through his hair. Rubbing his pants nates pulls them off exposing his erection with Geoff going and sucking him off, “just like before right.” Geoff nods saying he wanted it for the entire week. taking off his pants he lays nate on the bed asking if he wants him to ride it. “whatever you like courage, do as you please, im only gonna be gentle with you for your first time. sliding his cock in Geoff aches as it goes in him moving up and down his shaft he feels the ecstasy of love making and asks for more. Pulling his nipples nate makes Geoff purr as he leans and kisses him. Laying Geoff onto the bed nate slides in running his hand over his body and thrusts in. “oh my god this feels amazing, every inch.” Nate ask if its too much as Geoff tells him its perfect as they continue and switch to doggie style. Geoff cock throbs as it burst hands free, laying on the bed he asks nate to finish on him. Jerking he busts onto geoffs stomach telling him it was fun. “thank you nate for doing that, I really just wanted to lost my vcard before school started and it happened just in time. nate laughs as he lays in bed staring at the ceiling. “damn you were very generous.” “I now I wanted it to be memorable so I didn’t know much to do.” Nate tells him it takes time to learn what he likes and what he doesn’t, getting up he asks if Geoff wanted some cuddles, for Geoff to smile and tell him hes good and wants to see the guys again.
Coming out theo wraps his arm around Geoff congratulating him on losing his virginity before Luke, “looks like luke once again, is the runt of the house.” Luke scoffs at theo saying hes fine with himself and Geoff laughs stating that he doesn’t need to worry as he will lose it one day, even if they have to pitch in some money, ark and nate laugh loudly as they say even they don’t see it worth any money to pay for sex. The guys all drink together getting to know one another even more, when ark suddenly remembers the letter giving it to nate and his aunt told him it was important. The gang go to their rooms with nate seeing danny go to his own room. “hey horndog, aren’t you gonna cuddle tonight.” “I thought you were gonna be with Geoff?” Nate explains it was a one time thing and Geoff lost interest the minute they ended fucking. “its not like I have all that in common, yeah hes athletic loves to work out and hes a nerdy guy like me, but were two totally different people, hes withdrawn and submissive and well hes a ray of fucking sunshine knows what he wants and  stands his ground. “and what do you want, nate?” nate goes in closer kissing danny, “you, you moron, come on.” Pulling him into the room the lay in bed watching Netflix as nate looks at his letter. “oh shit it was from Dimitri but never got sent.” “why not open it and read it man, it could be important or stupid, I don’t know your family well.” “if its my dad its stupid, if its my aunt or uncle its important.”
Ark looks at his phone checking his facebook, when he gets a message from sophie on messenger. “hey can I come by rileys pissed to no end and I cant handle it.”, ark replies that she can come by and just knock when shes here. Waiting an hour he hears the doorbell and answers to see her carrying a bag. “need a drink?”, Sophie nods yes and asks for anything strong. Looking at the liquor he mixes some rum and cranapple juice giving it to her as she swishes the whole thing back. “that asshole had the nerve to come to my dorm and ask why I came to your party to hang out, then calls me a piece of scum and breaks my lamp, threw his ass out and packed up, couldn’t risk having him come back.”. “sounds like hes a piece of work.” “oh no idea ever since we were kids, always trying to get everything his way, skeezball.” Ark remarks shes not gonna drink her problems away, “no dude, im smoking them.” Pulls out a bag of weed, “just need a piece.” They smoke the bag getting high and proceed to just gaze at the fireplace. “ark thanks for having me, this is really hard to say but I don’t understand how any person could keep being such an asshole, to the point where they target family.” Ark shakes his head saying riley will get his one day, but for now its about taking things as they come. Leaning on arks shoulder and drifting to sleep ark wraps his arm around her and closes his eyes. Both wake up an hour later and ask if there is a room she can use. Going down stairs sophie remarks its freezing as the air had been on all day. Ark replies he can keep her warm and she replies she wouldn’t mind sleeping next to a source of intense body heat. Getting into the bed ark nuzzles up to her and lets her fall asleep, “my god riley would shit himself if he saw this, but then again, I could care less, I just wanna get a nice nights sleep.” Both drift off and pull the covers over themselves.
Danny and nate lay in bed looking at the sealed letter after finishing fate/zero and asks if nate is ready to read it. “it’s the last thing he sent of course I am.” Opening it up he sees what Dimitri had to say. “
dear husky,
been almost two years since you left, the house is empty most of the time with your aunt out on expedition in the west, I wanted to tell you im proud you got onto the deans list over there, I wish I could of attended the dinner, but you know I prefer your aunts cooking. I wanted to write and say we miss you and my tour I almost over. I got you a little something for your birthday and I sent it to Rebecca to keep safe. Sergio seems to really got a hold on you, that clever wolf really cant keep his hands off of you. Almost 21 and it seems like you were moving in yesterday, but that’s not important, I want you to keep up the good work and ill see you in the summer, okay buddy. Remember if your homesick you can return whenever you like and bring Sergio too, hes a fine man, and also Ronnie and Dylan graduated from their vocational school throwing  rager at the end of summer and if your around see them. Wishing you all the best Nate, I love you.
Sincerely yours,
Dimitri
Holding the letter nate looks sad but smiles and says it’s the same as he always was, proud and caring all the same. Danny looks at him and asks if hes gonna cry, nate grins saying he never would for Dimitri saying he died a hero for his country and it wouldn’t help, he needed to stay strong and keep going, like always. Danny smiles saying he really is adamant and stands his ground with nate holding danny tight. “I know I got the best cuddle buddy to help me stay that way, the best friend a guy could have, physical and open.” Rolling over and cuddling danny feels nates pay on him nuzzling his back. “yeah buddies, that’s what we are that’s what we will be.” Listening closely he hears nate whispering in his sleep, “thank you for everything, Ive never been this happy in two fucking years.”, smiling as he thinks hes talking about his uncle missing him. “thanks danny.” Looking over he sees nate smile sleeping soundly no whimpering or cries, turns over facing him placing his forehead to his thinking to himself, “I think I should thank you.”
Kappa Sigma Life: Chp 6
The weekend flies by as the boys settle in welcome Geoff and party like it there’s no end, only for the reality of college to rear its head and wake up nate at 7am by his alarm blasting ghost from the barrow on his phone. Shutting it off he sees Danny laying on his chest smiling, “well appears you laid on me for an change. Danny wakes up groggy drooling from his chin looking up at a smiling Nate as the sun hits his face, “hey sunny, why you up early?”, “Monday classes start and I got an 8:30am and a 10:30am right after, both with ark so I’m driving, want to go take a hot shower with me to wake you up.”, “sounds fun but I got only a practical class at 10-1pm today, so sleeping in, but damn would that feel nice.” Jumping on the bed Nate boops his nose on Danny’s face saying he rests and he will see him when they get home.” Taking a quick shower and filling his travel mug with coffee, he knocks on arks room asking if hes up yet for class. “Hey behemoth, we got to go, I’m driving to class in 15.” Opening the door is sophie telling Nate hes still asleep. “lateness on the first day isn’t good.”, Sophie ponders for a moment curious how to wake a sleeping beast up. Nate tells her to hold on and gets back up with a tray of food, “what is that?”, “literally the only thing that gets this big bastard up in time.” waving the plate ark jets up and takes it, “good I was starving, I went to bed high and needed munchies.” “Just get dressed we need to get to class.” Ark throws on his frat wear and meets with Nate at the Camino asking what books are needed, nate retorts no one said yet so its going to be done on the first day.
As they reach campus they head to the humanities building and enter their Land of Isreal class sitting in the middle and readying their books, nate notices ark is yawning and cant seem to keep himself awake, “oy gevalt this is gonna be a long day.” Nate hands ark a travel mug, “packed it this morning  drink up.”, ark tastes it saying its actually really good, nate retorts that he got it from theo and its cannabis coffee, so itll give them a little high for dealing with the early morning shit. As the teacher strolls in he sees that the class is packed and looks at nate and ark cheering their mugs to a another day of bullshit. “there is no food, drinks, phones, or talking in this class, you are here to learn about the land of isreal and we have much to discuss, there will be no question of my teaching methods and you will be marked down if you are late, there is no late arrivals, no late papers, and there is no discussion of political views in this classroom, all items are on the syllabus and I do not make appointments to my office, you have to come at the designated times allowed.” Nate looks at ark, whispering, “first class here and we already got this kind of teacher?”, “like I said going to be a long semester.”
The teacher goes on in a monotone as ark records the class on his recorder and nate takes every word in his notebook, the two doing both so they can get the best advantage in the class, looking back he sees the two as the only ones taking notes and calls them out. “You all see that, the wolf and sloth up there, why aren’t any of you taking notes.” Nate and ark just chuckle saying its probably out of laziness or the teacher isn’t making it interesting enough. “excuse you both, I hear you’re the new frat on campus and aren’t recognized would you like to have a bad word placed on you.” Nate retorts that teachers don’t have that authority and only administration and senate members do and they never saw his name on the list. “well I know people.”, “how about you keep teaching and stop antagonizing students thinking you get them.”, both of them laugh as the teacher scoffs and continues the lesson, they hear whispers from everyone in class about how they seems really chill but don’t take shit, with both smiling that they are at least making a mark.
As class ends, the teacher passes out the first assignment and ark and nate see what kind of shit they are in for. “OVER YONDER…….a 10 page paper due in a week.”, the teacher explains that he wants them all to pair up and write a ten page paper on the perils of Israel’s lack of neutrality and the confines of religion of government superseding into the effects of the  modern era . ark looks at the teacher blinking “in English please, it’s the first day.” The teacher remarks, “look at the sheet Mr. slowmann you’ll figure it out.” , “Putz”. The two walk out looking at the sheet heading to their Chinese Modernization class where everything goes much smoother, the teacher is very nice and only gave out an assignment of finding a piece of Chinese infrastructure and giving a one page description of it plus their honest opinion.  Ark and nate sigh a relief as they understand the assignment and once again pair up, heading to the camino, nate says he can do the Chinese assignment in no time while ark works on research for isreal, “are you saying that cause I’m jewish?”, “yeah, you said your family lived in isreal and you visited multiple times, I never went to the  west bank so despite my knowledge of culture and history you got a better basis of this than me.” “okay just wanted to see your understanding.” Nate smirks as they get in and drive off to the house where they get inside and plop on the couch ready to work.
Nate decided to do the Forbidden City, as it’s the most popular and easy to describe. “The interior is so intricate and the coloring choices were astounding regarding the type of building material they had in that era.” “That’s great Nate just get it done so you can help with this shit assignment for the fucking bigot.” “no problem, hey want some food its basically lunch time.”, “oh fuck yes please, there should be some baked ziti in there from two nights ago.”, nate jumps off the couch to the fridge to see it completely barren. “LUKE…….GEOFFF, GET DOWN HERE.” Ark turns his head asking what the issue is, “the freshmeat ate all the food, Danny’s at practical, and Theo is  at the lab, you and I were at campus, and those two don’t have on campus classes today.” Ark goes to the fridge looking in and actually seeing it totally empty, “wait does that mean even the chicken parm Rebecca made is gone.” “especially that, everything gone.”, Geoff and luke come down in their boxers, with Geoff scratching his belly, “whats going on, we don’t need to be on campus and I already finished my IT course for the day, ark looms over him staring him down. “Did you eat all the food in the fridge?......” Geoff firmly awake, “I had the baked ziti it looked like it only had a day left, remember we smoked with theo last night, I got the munchies and you said, “go ahead It has to be eaten by tomorrow, just leave one piece, so I did,” ark ponders and remembers doing that but forgot since he was blazed off his ass. “then you said sophie could have the meatballs and Italian bread for a wedge since there were only two left, nate had some chicken parm and rotini, theo ate the rest of the fried zucchini, and luke gobbled up the sausage and peppers.” Nate and ark look at one another apologizing for the threats and yelling, and look at one another.
Nate states staring at ark “we better start leaving reminder notes when we smoke so this doesn’t happen again. “agreed.” Ark sends a message to Theo to pick up some groceries for the fridge as they are officially out of food. “fine, just let know what we need.” Ark lists what they need and sends while they get to work on their project. Nate finished the Chinese assignment and began researching the Islamic Judea conflict and finding it goes all the way back to the confines of Christianity, which isn’t much of a surprise. The two reach about five pages into the paper when ark closes his laptop saying his brain feels like its about to fucking burst. “yeah same, I think we did enough, lets just get some weed and smoke.” The two light up a joint and hear a knock on the door, nate goes to answer it seeing a young hippo asking if this is the Kappa Sigma house, “yeah, this is kappa sigma, how may I help you?” “I’m looking for Geoff, I met him online during our class and he invited me over to study.”, nates calls Geoff down and sees him in still his boxers, “hey will come on up I got my computers program ready for the assignment.” “awesome thanks I need the help, totally new to IT work, all I know is basic repairs no coding skill whatsoever.” “well come on up and let me show you the ropes.”, nate chuckles as he knows what actually happening. “looks like Geoff is becoming the little Casanova.” Ark replies that he has the best people to take after in this house pointing to him. “well that’s true you’ve banged more girls this week than a rhino at a rave.” Ark laughs as theo walks in with bags, “whats that about rhinos?” nate says it was just a joke about ark being sexually active a lot and asks if he needs help, “naw I got it, fit everything in 4 bags, btw the store was having sales so everything went great.” Ark gives a thumbs up as theo goes and stocks the fridge. “I got plenty of stuff for everyone and also I realized ark you’re an omnivore so I bought some sweet potato mix if you wanted some for dinner tonight, its got a four cheese blend. Ark looks and replies. “shit ill make pierogis.”, Nate replies he can also cook up some grilled chicken  and mix it with herbs. Agreed ark finishes the joint and gets the cookbook off the shelf looking at the recipes. “oh yes, grilled chicken in a bbq marinara with four cheese sweet potato pierogis.”  As they converse Danny walks in and sits down saying his practical class is a freaking nightmare. “I had to deal with some old geezer who kept saying, no don’t touch me I need a female, I’m not enjoying this, dude came to a free session and complains on who helps him.” Nate laughs saying that sounded awful but remarks he wouldn’t mind some physical training from him.
Looking at one another danny asks if hes going to the gym and wanted to join as his starting to lose his tone. Nate looks at him lifting his shirt and seeing dannys abs still there, “oh come on bullboy, your still a hot piece, but yeah you can join.” As they leave danny whispers, “and we can hope the spa is empty.” Nate grins saying that be amazing as they head out to the camino and drive off. Ark looks around, “luke wanna go play some videogames?” luke looks at him taking out call of duty 3 and popping it on turning on the projector. “now this I can get used to.” Hearing thudding from upstairs, luke asks ark what the actual fuck is going on, “geoffs got a visitor he met online.”, Luke sighs remarking hes still not been laid yet. “just ask nate, im sure hed do you the favor like he did Geoff.” “ew him, im not gay.”, “walking in on him and danny every so often and taking a few seconds to close the door begs to differ.” Luke blushes as he feeling the thudding even more, “the walls are silent but the floors however are not.”
Geoff presses will against the wall kissing him aggressively, “god damn I never topped before but your so big I wanna try.” “go as rough as you want I can handle it.” Lifting up will he slides his cock in making will ride him in his arms, carrying him to the bed to falls onto it thursting deep sweating bullets. “Missionary you chubby little guy?”  “no lotus, its my favorite.”, getting into the position will rides Geoff as he holds him close feeling his skin pressed against geoffs fur he remarks hes pretty thick for a lion. “well its what it is in the world, im thick and meant for mating.” Digging his claws into wills back he screams in pleasure saying he really loves the rough play, looking in his eyes he lightly nips his neck sucking on it and hearing wills moaning crying out for more. Getting into the bodyguard position he squeezes wills nipples as he feels his fur matting from the sweat. Will cums all over the sheets and asks for it to be unloaded in him. Doing so he finishes falling on the bed tired  “that was…….amazing, rough is totally better.” Will gets dressed saying he had fun and walks out, with Geoff asking if he wanted cuddles, “uh… no this was fun but its just sex, you don’t need cuddles after it.” Geoff sighs and smiles laying down as will leaves staring at the ceiling, “well I guess I should get used to that.” Seeing will leave, “ark, hey come back anytime to smoke or see Geoff, sounded like you had fun.” “it was but one time only really, im sure he gets that.” Ark looks at Luke and says he will be right back, going up knocking on Geoff’s door, “hey courage you okay?” cracking his door open he asks ark if he thinks hes cuddly, “well I’m straight but I can tell by your build, being muscle chub your very cuddly, and don’t mind that guy his probably a slut looking to lay, so don’t worry about it that he won’t come around.” “Uh he said he would do it again…..fuck.” ark scratches his head, “yeah, might want to talk to Nate when he gets back, I’m no good with this kind of thing.” “Don’t worry ark thank you for worrying though.” ark looks at him patting him on the head, “no problem little Leo full of courage let him roar, soon the silence begs for more little Leo little Leo hear him roar.” Blushing Geoff smiles saying he shouldn’t treat him like a kid, but ark laughs saying its easy and everyone thinks its adorable when he is nervous. Closing his door Geoff texts nate that he needs advice. Nate looks at his phone he kisses Danny under the shower. “Oh, poor Geoff needs some help when we get back.” “no issue there but for now your all mine.”
The two caress each other in the shower as Nate feels the water dripping from Danny’s horns kissing him feeling his tongue down his throat. Danny gets on his knees kissing Nate until he gets to his cock and starts sucking it. Holding his horns nate moans as he forces it deeper and deeper into Danny who asks if his going to cum quick this time, “public places aren’t my style so I make it fast.” As Danny sucks him off he pulls his nipples as Nate cums in his mouth. “Fuck that was a lot wolfie, but never complaining.” The two kiss as they head out and drive home, looking at Nate he asks why he doesn’t bottom, “its not something I like talking about right now, but I am open to it just not now.” Looking out the window Danny wonders what its like to top Nate, if he likes it gentle or rough, smirking a bit at the thought. Getting back Nate goes upstairs and head to Geoff. Danny goes to ark and asks if he knows why Nate isn’t bottoming. “You’re asking me a straight man, if I know the reason why Nate doesn’t like being bottom, if you’re going to ask that call Rebecca up for more information.”
Talking to Geoff he is seen lying in bed staring at his tv watching log horizons second season, “seems like you have good taste, so what happened courage?” “I met a guy online who wanted to play, and he was from my class paid no mind and we had really rough sex, I topped for the first time and it felt amazing, but he left me lying in bed alone and just went out, I kind of wanted to cuddle, thinking maybe it was great enough to relax with one another for a bit.” “Listen, some people only wants a quick fuck and that’s it, it’s not you at all, you’re a very cute little lion and lots of guys wouldn’t mind having you in their bed at night keeping warm.” Geoff smiles blushing asking if Nate would cuddle him, getting next to him Nate holds Geoff telling him that its only cuddles, no sex. Geoff agrees saying they had a onetime thing and cuddling is always on the table. “how are you so understanding, I mean you can talk to people, you help them, always in a good mood, but god you seem so cheery all the time.” “Why do you think they call me sunny.” Geoff realizes that nate had fallen asleep and does the same taking a nap. Noticing hes been up there an hour danny asks ark if nate is around. “Probably in Geoffs room, he wanted to talk to him.” Knocking on the door danny cracks it to see Nate cuddled up to a naked Geoff and sighs closing the door. Ark asks whats up, “hes in bed with him, napping.” Luke remarks that there were no noises as nate makes a lot of that and suggests its probably just to make Geoff feel better after his little play session with the hippo. Danny looks at both of them, “what?”, ark explains what happened and danny facepalms, “god im an idiot I thought they fucked, buts his just comforting a friend, damn.” Luke looks at him, “your jealous of nate being with another guy, even though you guys are just fuck buddies, you like him don’t you?”. Danny looks at ark and luke saying its ridiculous that he would like someone like Nate in that way, “hes cuddly and great in bed that’s it, we spend time in bed together for that reason, keeping warm and pounding out stress.” Ark points up seeing Nate at the railing looking down, walking to his room. Luke looks at Danny, “this is awkward, ark can we smoke outside.” “Fuck yes.” Danny looks at both saying he needs help only for ark to tell him that he needs to give Nate time to cool off and then apologize, because it looks like from what he said, it was no different than what happened to Geoff, so he should count his blessings.
Theo walks in with a bag of joints asking what’s going on, only for ark and luke saying they need a joint. Asking if Sophie is joining, ark replies shes got class until 4 and should return by dinner. Looking at danny he asks what happened, only for ark to tell him danny screwed up, opening the door Geoff asks where nate went off too for ark to reply in his room, “oh does he have homework or something cause he left to use the toilet.” Luke tells him he can find him in his room probably smoking only to see nate walking down with a  bag of hash in his hand, “rebeccas stash figured we can all smoke it.”, everyone smiles as ark takes the bag smelling it, “oh god that’s good stuff, so potent. As they group together around the fire place, feeling the September air finally hit from the open windows and leave rebeccas bag for last waiting for Sophie, Danny heads upstairs as Geoff walks down to join. “hey where you off too, aren’t you gonna smoke, were putting on the saw series.”, “I thought you were pissed?”, “uh no I was tired and groggy, Geoff was way too warm so I left to cool off, and decided hey first day of class over lets do the stash.” “oh so I guess were cool then.”, nate “of course man you were just honest is all.” Danny smiling, “I am glad that your not upset.”, nate looks at him taking a puff, “now come on horndog, take a hit and relax.” Coming inside Sophie lays her bag down seeing the boys smoking, “well shit looks like the boys are chilling out finally, please tell me there’s plenty, law classes are shit.” Sophie partakes in a few hits and the gang watches the saw series laughing at the stupidity. Theo remarks all the deaths are freaking hilarious cause there so creative and sometimes nonsensical, while everyone laughs at jigsaws reasoning for killing. The group smoke til 5 and start dinner with ark cooking while Theo rolls more joints, the brothers clean and sweep the place up burned out and seeing the time. Ark sets dinner out and everyone grabs a playing saw again and Nate getting a call from Rebecca. Taking it somewhere else he comes back saying she just wanted to know if we needed more weed and how class went, telling her it went fabulously and the gang is having fun.
Sophie asks ark who Rebecca is, and he tells her how she is the reason they have a new home, a frat, and new set of ideals. She states she must be a class act and the guys all cheer saying it’s the truth. The night drags on as the guys take a dip in the pool conversing about how classes are going to be quite busy all semester as ark and Nate look at one another pointing out they are really smart and it wont be any different for either of them to change. Geoff cannon balls into the water spraying them in the face with nate laughing and ark sitting on his float smoking a joint. “damn ark do you ever  stop smoking.” Letting out a puff he responds simply with a “NOOOOOOOOOOOOO” echoing into the sky. The guys relax as sophie comes by asking if she welcomed in. Nate smiles saying any cute girls who hate riley are welcomed anytime. Getting in she looks at Luke Geoff and Theo staring at her.  “What is everyone staring at?”, Luke says they aren’t used to having any girls around more than at the parties, theo remarks she just looks really nice and thought she’d be stuck up like riley. “yeah my brother is a asshole, honestly its probably from a insecurity complex, and this stays with you guys. He used to piss his bed every day, and still does to this day. Oh, and he cries super hard when he watches the teletubbies, because he is scared of po, and the sun-baby.” Everyone laughs as nate actually stays calm and silent, “okay the one time hes not cackling and your feeling sorry for him.” “oh heavens no, hes a bastard who hurt one of our brothers, stalked us, drugged me, and used luke a drug mule, there is no excuse for him, but the reasoning is even worse.” They keep the secrets to themselves and start getting out feeling the autumn breeze coming over. Theo remarks hes cold as ice while everyone is just drying off, “how are you assholes not freezing. Everyone looks at him, with ark replying “fur be a godsend hash”. Later in the night danny uses his phone and texts Rebecca  as he enters the shower what he said to nate earlier to get a reply, “It all happened in rome, wont give details that up to my nephew, talk to him about it rather than turning to everyone else.”
Getting out he thanks her and walks into nates room whos changing for bed. “hey there Horndog, ready for the cuddles train.” Sitting nate on the bed , he looks at him curious if he can tell him why he doesn’t bottom, in all honesty even if it hurt too much he would believe him. “I won’t lie, I will only tell the truth to you, it was back in rome when I was with Sergio, he was passionate and loving, telling me I was a perfect guy for him being husky and fit strong but loving and kind. When we made love I used to bottom for him a lot and I think I only topped once when he said he was too tired, but he kept giving it every day, it got to the point where I wanted a break to feel him for once, then Dimitri died and I needed to go home, I explained that I was going to be back soon and maybe he could come with me see the states, but he told me otherwise, trying to just get me to forget about him, he said the past isn’t worth weeping over and people die in war all the time, I knew he hated war and politics but it set me off so I punched him and left, stayed in a hotel where he kept calling me, ignoring him I left the next day back home on a one way flight, I wanted to stay with Rebecca and make sure she was okay. The funeral was emotional as most of our family from Italy came for the service, my grandparents knew of my sexuality and took some time but got used to it. They hugged me as I just stared at the casket knowing he wasn’t going to come back; I didn’t cry my mind was racing. I got a letter sometime later just stating Sergio was breaking up and telling me to have a good life without him, I then realized I was just a piece of ass to him and that made not promise myself I wouldn’t bottom for just anyone and I would be a total top, instead of switch.” “whoa you really shared all that just now, I don’t know what to say but, sorry for saying all of that, I was lying to them, or at least myself, this whole week we spent together in bed not just having sex, but keeping each other company and safe, I saw from the minute you were drugged out you were in need of someone to hold you and calm you, I hear you whimper at night and want to hold you, til you stop, I don’t try to listen but you really talk in your sleep.” Nate blushes saying he didn’t mean to leak out that information. “you’re a amazing guy, full of life been through so much and explored the variety of things around the world, and I was just drawn to you, I don’t know what im feeling honestly but….” Nate stops him by kissing him, “just stop talking you beautiful bull, im not even upset I can tell when you lie to yourself, you know how I am, and I’m glad you admitted it even if your still conflicted, I want to try again, with you and only you, my Italian bull.” Danny looks into nates eyes seeing a light in them as he smiles and kisses him back. He takes nates shirt off undoing his towel and laying him on the bed. “ill be slow and gentle my pup.” “thank you and if it hurts ill tell you.”
Danny proceeds to suck on nates cock as he pulls down his pants and boxers feeling his fur against his playing with his big nipples, “I can tell that makes you hard instantly.” “oh you know it horny man.” Lifting his legs, Danny licks his toes seeing Nate laugh while it tickles, seeing his ass he lubes up his middle finger going into him gently, “how that sunny, your blushing?” “keep going danny I trust you.” Going down he eats out nates ass as he playing with his nipples using his hands, hearing him moany he asks if hes ready. “yes and slow okay.” “ I know” sliding in holding the sheets feeling the pain and sighing in relief at the feeling nate lays back and feels dannys cock in him moaning in pleasure holding his hand as he makes love to nate. He lays over him in missionary kissing his neck making him call his name, “danny yes, this is perfect……please don’t stop.” Feeling him, danny keeps going turning nate on his belly doing him ass up as he holds the sheets, “I missed this so much, just with someone I can trust. Danny turns him back around jerking his cock as he thrusts, lets both cum my sweet, I love when you fuck me but sometimes I want to be top dog. He pulls out and strokes both of them Cumming and lays next to nate asking is they should shower. “Oh totally we smell like hot fur.” They shower with one another and embrace kissing, with Nate asking if danny wants them to be something else.” “I cant answer that right now, I love being with you but I want to see where this goes.” Nate nods and smiles saying being close and intimate with him is enough for now. The two go to sleep snuggled up as Nate smiles holding Danny’s hand close and kisses it.
The next day nate and Geoff head to the gym late in the evening after classes together and continue working out, Nate compliments that Geoff’s fur has grown back and his paws are healed nicely too. Geoff thanks him and they do their work out noticing that riley is in the corner lifting weights, “Geoff comments they should stick to cardio today and avoid the racks, “no we have a right to the gym like him and we aren’t going to act like a bunch of scared kids, you want to lift then we lift.” The two head over and start bench pressing as riley looks at them and looks back away. “What a weirdo.” Heading to the showers Geoff states he forgot his phone at the bench and needed to get it, Nate heads inside and takes a shower checking facebook hearing footsteps coming near him, as he feels them stop behind him. “Geoff please, not here….”, turning around he sees riley staring at him, quickly going to messenger hitting the mike on his phone riley starts chattering “you shouldn’t of taken my property bro, the lion and the bullbear were ours first.” “nate looks back at him stating “yes but like any abused animal, it needed rescuing from its handler.” Putting his hand against the wall he warns him to step back from the Tau Epsilon brothers if he knows what good for him or someone is going to suffer major humiliation. “Let’s see how much courage your friend has if that video got out, after all, he’s all beast in that video isn’t he?” “you realize your putting fuel on your funeral pyre making threats like that, and if done so, you’re the one who’s going to be sorry.” As he finishes his statement riley stares daggers at him, “tell the sloth my sister is off limits, I know she’s at the house, and if she isn’t at her dorm tonight, hell will break loose for the kappa’s, so try not being so adamant and swallow your pride.” Nate walks off as Geoff walks in with his phone, Nate grabbing him by the arm escorting him out, “hey I need to shower I smell like a….” Nate looks at him with a stern look, “we leave now, cause im sure ark just got my message.”
Kappa Sigma Life: Chp 7
As nate and Geoff return to the frat house, they notice that the front door is open and go inside to find ark with his hand through the wall, “good your back, now explain what happened nate, cause im ready to use a nail bomb on those Tau Epsilon asses.” “no were not using violence, although god knows its worth it, trust me, we need a plan and we need to be smart about it, we know there had to be someone here to videotape Geoff in bed, but we don’t have a clue who.”, Geoff buts in saying he knows getting red in the face, “that hippo I topped yesterday, he came into my room, he must of used his phone to record us without my knowledge.”, ark punches the wall again with theo telling him to stop before he hits a stud, “fuck that I need to relieve my anger here.” Looking at nate they talk about what occurred at the gym, “if that jackoff wants to treat people like property then lets show him the same feeling, eye for an eye.” Nate looks knowing what to do and calls his aunt, “auntie, code 873, one of our brothers, uh huh, okay, see you soon.”, ark nods in agreement knowing that nate is ready and lets everyone know they need to be ready for anything that might happen. Sophie looks at ark asking who is possibly coming this late in the evening, ark looks at her smirking, “our den mother.” Looking at ark she looks confused asking why he didn’t call his parents first, “they are never to be called, and shes ex military.” A few hours pass with everyone smoking and drinking quiet in the living room with Geoff looking around like hes at fault for something. “listen guys, you don’t have to do all this, its my fault I got recorded and if I get humiliated it’s not dragging you guys down.”
Ark and nate look at him saying hes not just someone they can let get embarrassed by some inferior bullshit artist who thinks hes better than anyone. “you’re a good guy and our brother, theres no way were letting that happen, if that video is released we get them all in trouble, you didn’t give consent.” Geoff looks down saying he was an idiot for thinking that anything could be normal for him, asking why it had to happen. Nate pats him on the head looking serious, “its cause there’s a lot of people that want to hurt others for not understanding what they get to be beyond their control, trust me I know how you feel, but you have to stand tall and fight back like the fierce lion you are.” the front door opens and Rebecca walks in asking where here husky is, “here I am auntie.” “Stand straight, salute, shake, now……give me big hug my sweet husky!” Nate hugs Rebecca smiling glad she arrived in time, “oh honey im so sorry for all this traffic was a nightmare and everyone on the road is such a cocksucker.” Seeing sophie she glares at her, “is that the elk you mentioned nate.” Looking back, “oh no auntie she’s a friend, his sister whom told us a lot of dirt on riley.
Chuckling Rebecca goes to Sophie and shakes her hand saying shes glad she made friends with her nephews frat telling if she does ever try going back on them, she will personally take her down. “Messaged received ma’am.”  Sophie asks why Rebecca is here with Rebecca ushering in a tall tigress in military gear, nate ecstatic looks and crys out in joy, “IZZY, oh my god its been forever I thought you were on tour in Israel.” “came back home last month, right after you left, sorry I couldn’t send you off husky, but then again duty calls right buddy.” Everyone looks as she puts nate in a headlock and he bashes her foot on the ground. “Dirty fighter, that’s your hyena side you little shit.” “whatever wins a fight honey.” The two laugh as Rebecca tells them to settle down, “we got a situation you want someone tortured for claiming two as property, well this girl can do it, shes an expert in deception, hacking, and trained in military torture, Sgt. Isabella Rossi, or izzy for short.” Nate comments she still had that scarlet hair the boys swooned over, making izzy state that he was the ones turning boys heads at the parties and boops his nose making him turn red, “still haven’t changed you big ball of love.” Sticking his tongue out ark looks at them to get back on track. “we need someone to get this guy riley, chapter president of Tau Epsilon and captain of the beserkers, you think you can handle it.” Izzy looks at ark stating she can do that in her sleep, knowing a college boy will be way easier than a terrorist. Sophie wonders why Rebecca doesn’t do it with her stating, “the school knows who I am they know my description and my relationship to Nate, if I go its not going to end well for anyone, he might get expelled and you guys will be thrown out as well and possible jail time through association.” They all nod in agreement with izzy asking what happens if this goes south, nate glaring baring his fangs, “ILL SKIN THE BASTARD AND PUT HIS PELT AT THE FOOT OF MY BED.” Everyone looks at him with izzy whispering to Rebecca, “ah theres the Dimitri side pouring out.” the others look at nate startled, luke leans over asking if ark is as scared of him as he is, “no id be doing worse, with a nail bomb.” Sophie looks smiling at ark, “now that kinda turns me on.”
Rebecca tells izzy the address from nates messages and tells her to head out, “you guys are staying and no parties, got it need you laying low, and izzy livestream it to the Tau brothers, lets see their leader get knocked down a peg.” Everyone agrees and lets izzy leave taking her car, Rebecca sits and lights a joint asking the others to join her.” They partake in her stash and mention that there is a lot going on too much to understand. “where is this new brother, I want to meet him.” Everyone finally noticing Geoff was hiding behind danny and theo slowly walks up to Rebecca and introduces himself. “im Geoff IT major and effects artist for the frat, how may I help you?”. “so gentle, so timid, I can see why my nephew helped you, the TE brothers hurt you didn’t they, your scared.” “Yes, I feel like its my fault and….” “no its not you just got caught up in desires and had no control over what was to happen to you, do not think anything less of yourself, you’re a kind boy, and I can tell you wouldn’t hurt anyone of your own volition, now how do you know my husky.” “he helped me the first day on campus, made me realize that its okay to be who I am as a person and not care what anyone thought.” “he was your first wasn’t he.” Nate and Geoff both turn red, “maybe….”. “Don’t fret little Leo you’re in good hands now but please rest assured I can tell your panicking. Go relax in your room okay, Nate and Danny will keep an eye on you.” Danny and Nate usher Geoff upstairs as he looks back at everyone asking Nate why everyone is being so kind. “Its cause your our brother and they messed with you meaning they mess with us.”
In geoffs room the three watch some movies smoking a joint as Geoff starts shaking almost having an anxiety attack. Cuddling up to him nate tells him it will all be okay no matter what happens they wont let him get hurt or humiliated. “you guys are the best, damn I needed cuddles.” Danny joins in saying nate is the warmest of the brothers, “maybe we should call you cuddles instead of sunny.” “naw I prefer being a ball of sunshine.” Geoff looks at Danny and nate and closes his eyes falling asleep. Nate and danny look saying hes like a little cub needing protection. “don’t get me wrong danny hes really nice and sweet, but hes very shy and timid, it’ll be while before he can stand on his own, cause when he does, he gets knocked down harder than where he started.” Geoff opens his eyes looking at both of them smiling, “you know you guys are really awesome, im glad we all live in the same place, its having a big family of nutjobs.” Laughing Geoff gets up and looks at danny grinning, “see something courage, your pants are pitching a tent.” Looking down Geoff covers himself saying he couldn’t help it, he just gets horny and didn’t wanna try anything with nate again given they cant leave and they made a deal not to do anything like his first time. “ah but what about us.” Geoff blushing looking at danny as he holds up three fingers sticking his tongue out. “I always wanted to try that, kind of a fantasy of mine really.” Danny leans in kissing Geoff reaching into his pants, “if you don’t want to we can stop.” Nate kisses the back of geoffs neck as he wants more, he wants to feel better alone with people he can trust. Nate and danny undress him and lean him on the bed naked and undress. Looking at both of them smiling, “so what are two strong men going to do to me.” Nate goes in slow and kisses him grabbing his cock, “were just going to keep you safe got it, no games, no camera, no issues, just pleasure.” He goes down on Geoff making him moan and danny has Geoff suck him off, his thick cock deep throating in his mouth as the three lean on the bed huddled together. Geoff takes turns sucking nate and Danny saying their both huge and take it all. He lays down as nate fingers him making him grab his headboard begging for more, using his tongue he eats him out as danny has Geoff eat him out. “Damn lions tongue are rough, but feels amazing.” Nate lifts geoffs leg and slides in asking if he wants it rough or gentle. “gentle, ive never been in a threesome.” Leaning in he thrusts into Geoff kissing him feeling his mane and fur glistened with sweat moaning in pleasure. Danny eats out nates ass as he slides his cock in, “you fuck him, I fuck you.” Nate smiles saying only danny is the one able to do that. The the three fuck as geoffs takes nates hand wanting to change positions. Getting into the bodyguard they three continue what they’re doing , Danny leans back having nate ride his cock as Geoff sucks him off, jerking himself off. Feeling dannys cock in him, nate feels his cock bursting as he cums in geoffs mouth who swallows every drop using his tongue to clean it off.
Danny fills the condom after a while pulling out and the two kiss and jerk goeff until he cums everywhere. Falling on his bed they huddle together laughing that it was amazing to do with Geoff asking if the two can stay with him for the night turning red as he doesn’t wanna be alone, looking away. “that sounds stupid I know I just kinda don’t wanna deal with stress, cause I get horny and well.” Danny and nate kiss him on the cheek telling him its okay to want cuddles and they would much obliged. Danny looks at Geoff asking if he wants nate to wear clothes, “yeah good luck with that one.”, Geoff laughs saying hed rather have nate warming him all night, same to danny. The three pull over the covers and fall asleep with Geoff in the middle. Downstairs luke asks where the flying hell the guys could possibly be saying they been up there for hours. Ark looks at theo who reminds luke that the three are a little emotional so things may happen. Luke runs upstairs banging on the door with all three waking up. “Nate you get it.” “naw im too exhausted from courage.” “WHO IS IT?” Luke bangs again to try and bust it open. Rebecca comes up turning the knob, “seriously try that runt.” Luke opens it to see the three asleep snuggled together. Rebecca snaps a pic on her phone, “now that is the most adorable sight tonight. Izzy arrives back stating that the plan was a success and that they got what they needed done, “now get me a joint im so sick I had to touch him even if it was torture.” The group smoke and izzy asks where nate went. “hes upstairs with the lion and the bull.”, izzy smirks, “that’s nate for you, always being a cuddly wolf and a great friend.”, theo looks at her “more like lover than a friend right now.”, izzy looks at her drink stirring it asking, “well who wouldn’t fuck him?” everyone raises their hand saying its cause their straight. “well you can always think about, if you were gay or the other way around.” ark leans to Rebecca asking what izzys deal is, “she used to have a crush on nate through grade school, and hadn’t seen him when he left for our travels on tour, he came back senior year and instant attraction, went on what she called a date and kissed him, rejected her nicely for obvious reasons, now kinda has a bit of a what if it could happen thing going on, but moved on pretty fast.”, ark looks at her saying that nate isn’t one to just play for the other team with izzy laughing, “of course, I came here to help him only, no more no less, hes a great friend and I’m glad to help.” nate rushes out the room telling ark to check face book being woken up by the alerts he got, much of the TE brothers are blowing up about the torture porn broadcasted at the house and instinctively are looking for a tiger chick with red hair. “looks like I did well this time eh boys.” Nate gives a thumbs up from the railing with Rebecca sipping her rum, “nate, sweetie, pants please.”
Nate walks back in the room coming down with his shorts on, “can you believe how much shit is happening on this campus, riley is totally humiliated and the best his brothers are doing are sharing my dance video, which are just getting more positive comments.”  Izzy comments she did really well but couldn’t find the porn video on rileys phone saying it must still be on the hippos. “his names will, and he can be found near the tech center, spends a lot of time there alone smoking pot for a break.” The group talk about what to do, with izzy offering to hack him and delete it, only for Nate to retort that having her out trying to do that will raise suspicion to the kappa’s. “they know your face and description much like Rebecca, if we do that we don’t look good if they make a report about it, truth or false.” They converse and decide that the video can wait as laying low is the best alternative. Getting a call Rebecca tells the boys to keep quiet, “yes, hello Martinez, uh huh, right very well.” Sighing deeply she tells Nate and ark they need to see the dean about the incident in the gym, both groan, “Oy gevalt how can this get any worse.” “Over yonder I bet this is going to drag on big time.” the night drags on as ark heads to sleep and sophie comes with him, cuddled in bed she remarks it was adamant that they did all that just for Geoff even if he is the newest member.” “nates a good judge of character, he knows how people think and act, didn’t want him getting hurt.” Getting on top of him she sticks her tongue out looking into his eyes. “you say your big and tough, but deep down you’re a big softie.” Grinning ark asks what shes gonna do about it, reaching into his shorts she grabs his cock hard. “make you tough behemoth, now what do you want to do about it.” “let you teach me a lesson miss Monroe.” She kisses ark as she undresses his running hands to the back of his neck, “I hear you do it rough, for once your doing it slow big boy.”, ark grins as Sophie jerks him as he squeezes her tits making her moan, “gently their sensitive.” She goes down on him making him moan in pleasure asking if he likes his shaft licked, “god yes that feels nice.” Getting on top of him she has ark eat her out and finger her intensely, “god those fingers are amazing, do more baby.”
Ark uses two fingers in her to make her precum from her hot pussy asking if she was ready for it. Getting on his cock she rides him stating she feels every inch and its spectacular for his size. “wouldn’t expect less from a 7.6ft sloth.” As she begins riding him faster he moans saying shes right and it actually makes him feel odd. “She clenches her pussy tightening onto his cock making him grab his sheets, “whoa whoa what are you doing?!!!!”, moaning that its different and feels so good. “your always in charge big guy, but I’m going to tame this behemoth once and for all. Tightening once more ark trys holding his urge to cum only for sophie to pulls his nipples making him unload, “AHHHHHHHHH, OH GOD.” Sophie gets off pulling the condom off seeing a massive load and licks his cock clean, “well looks like you’re came in first.” Ark gasping for breath saying that was the most intense sex he ever had. “elks have great muscle control and it makes for better loving.” Cuddling up to him she kisses him and tucks herself under his chin, “this isn’t love ark, I just needed to vent some rage, sorry for using you like that.” “Sophie that was worth it, let me know if you wanna try this again.” Sophie looks at him and says she would over and over again.
The next day nate and ark are brought into the deans office where Martinez discusses the effects of the previous night. “so he confronted nate in the shower, saying he had a video, and then we got word from the Tau brothers a torture porn was broadcasted by a random tiger woman at their frat blowing up social media, there is a connection and I don’t want you boys lying to me.” Nate and ark look at one another, nate responds “yes sir this is true the woman is a mutual friend and we had no idea she would go this far into it but as of now we understand the consequences.” Martinez shakes his head, “no I agree with what happened he needed to be brought down a peg but regardless rules are rules and since you boys weren’t directly involved I cant get you into academic trouble, however, I will need to work on solution between your frats, riley, stan, and will have been suspended for the homecoming game and placed on academic probation due to their actions against nate and Geoff, also they are being investigated about the drug fiasco.” Ark looks at the dean saying that it’s a wonderful thing to hear that, “however with three  players down they cant play the homecoming game next month.” Ark and nate looking at him, “oy gevalt, please no.” “to punish your frat for the involvement with the girl, you two are filling in for the players or you get academic probation for the incident as well for causeing strife against students regardless of who started it, this isn’t about whos right or wrong, its about the escalation of what occurred.” Nate “over yonder, fine we will do it, but they need a new captain ark and I have no clue how to play.”, Martinez looks at them and tells them in their faces, “that’s why I am putting Luke Benito in charge, let the Taus be ordered by a Kappa for a  while and see what its like to be controlled.” Ark and nate look at one another taking a deep sigh, in unison, “fuck my life.”
Kappa Sigma Life: Chp 8
Nate and ark return groaning as they walk in seeing theo on the couch making out with Izzy and Rebecca cooking in the kitchen. “hey boys how was the meeting.” Nate looks at her rolling his eyes, “well we aren’t expelled but were getting a fate worse than death, we need to plaay ion the homecoming game with the Homophobes of Maplewood.” Rebecca sighs saying that it could have been worse, but an mark on the Taus means they won’t bother with the kappa’s for a long while, and the guys responsible for Geoff are now seeing karma dealt well to them. “still wish we didn’t have to fucking play….OY GEVALT.” Nate reminds ark that the worse is yet to come as the other news is how they want Luke as the interim captain until Riley is back in action. Rebecca goes to the two hugging them knowing that they don’t deserve to be subjected to such a bullshit problem but the dean does have a point, “both sides escalated stuff, and even if your in the right,, there were going to be consequences to actions, just be happy it wasn’t what they got in the long run.” Nate smiles asking where his bull is cause he needed some stress relief, Rebecca tells him hes upstairs, to which he walks up and notices that the door is opened a bit, walking in he sees Danny and Geoff kissing on the bed looking at him smirking. “you guys couldn’t wait for me could you.” Taking off his clothes he hops into bed with them needed some stress released pronto. Theo looks at Izzy telling her it must be odd being with a herbivore and being a carnivore. “oh no sugar, its fun actually, like a little taboo, and you remind me of some of my friends back home, built tough and ready for a good ride,  and smell like a garden too.” Theo looks at her grinning and continues kissing her laying her on the couch, for ark to kick him on the head while smoking a joint, “no sex on the couch, house rule remember, you want it take it to your room, were not turning the living room into a Warhol factory.
Getting up from the couch Theo takes Izzy to his room, she remarks that its beautiful mixed with pictures of plants and a booming stereo system. “Yeah I love me some good music, but agriculture brings me back home.” Laying him on the bed, Izzy mentions that she couldn’t help herself around a rhino, “I near your beauties cum several times do you not.” Theo smirks saying “why not try and find out darling.” Taking his shirt off izzy feels his massive body on her noting that he might be fat but hes very built, like a monster truck, taking the compliment, theo pulls his pants down asking if she likes what she sees, “oh my yes, its thick.” Playing with her tits, Theo tongues her mouth fingering her tight hole, “well shit, when the last time you got laid was?” Laughing she whispers, “never, my time was dedicated to the military but now that my tours over and I’m out, I want to experience life again.” Kissing her he notes that he will give her a first time like she never saw. Caressing her body he takes her in lotus position kissing her and pressing his face in her tits motor boating them, making her moan, placing her on her back he kisses her down her body sucking on her nipples, and holding her hands, “it might hurt a bit, are you ready?” “please slow and gentle.” Thrusting in Theo moves slowly making love to Izzy moaning all the while begging for more and for it harder.  The two go at over and over that night, everyone hearing theo moaning and cumming a total of 13 times.
luke smoking a joint with Rebecca comments that the house reeks of sex and weed. “honey your just upset your not getting laid, you should try meeting another girl, or maybe try one of the guys, theres three in here, open to it.” “you know I’m not gay so why try and make it sound like I am?” “I saw your face when Geoff said nate was his first, you looked curious and a bit turned on a the thought, and let me tell you how many times he snuck off base to meet a local panda, gorilla, grizzly, or even a wolf, he always came home happy.” “so your nephews a butt slut big deal.” “no sweetie those were actual friends, I should have been clear, the panda and the grizzly were his intimate buddies, as I call them.” “okay I don’t get it your saying I should let nate fuck me, cause he fucked danny and Geoff?” “you must have been dropped, no you degenerate, I mean don’t be afraid to explore who you are, we let nate make his own choice and he always came back happy, always beaming with life and content with where he was, making friends along the way, helping people, and learning new trades around the world, not just sexual but important lessons in life.” Luke looks down saying he wishes he had that life, getting to travel with his family being loved and be accepted for who he is. “no…..you don’t, nate didn’t have the life you wish you could have, all that good stuff came after the bullshit, neglected, abused, and forgotten as a mistake, if we hadn’t taken him in, there’s no telling what might of occurred to him, so count your blessings luke, you have a family loving you, actual parents who aren’t afraid to call you their son.” Luke looks at her taking a puff of a joint, “so did you ever have kids, like where are nates cousins?” “Never had them, kept traveling to different places serving in the armed forces, couldn’t just have a family, nate is the closest to a son I have, and even then its only from a formality against restricted paternal rights.” Luke asks if anyone else knew of this only for Rebecca to rebuff that nate always looked up to her, and was the only thing in her life that got her through Dimitris death, “he left his life in rome to make sure I didn’t put a bullet in my head, he came home on a non stop flight, away from his boyfriend , just to make sure I was okay, he didn’t cry, he didn’t say a word at the funeral, I just heard him talking about how he will keep me safe, even in the harshiest times, I never saw him shed a tear, not when he was abandoned, not when he did something wrong, not at death, nothing, I took him to therapy when he was 15 and they said there was nothing wrong with him, just a strong willed boy who doesn’t take shit, well I was wrong, at night I could hear him whimper in his sleep, he was never comforted and thought he needed to be alone with his problems, instead of confronting him, Dimitri would stay up making sure he slept well, just looking and comforting him.”
“yeah I hear him whimper here too, but Danny cuddles him and its all better, I didn’t think he had anything wrong with him until you explained it.” “he has abandonment issues, people who cut him out that once were good to him, just gets to him, I don’t know if he ever fully gets over it but it doesn’t matter , he always pulls through.”. luke asks why she told him all of this only to be told its because at one point, nate could have been luke, self-conscious about himself, withdrawn,  putting up a bravado just to ensure people may like him, its demeaning to who he really is and luke is putting on a balancing act hiding what he really wants. Looking down luke gets up telling Rebecca to sleep well and that hes going to just relax in his room. Rebeca tells him goodnight and at least think about what she said.
Nate Geoff and danny all lay down kissing one another and talk about the future of the kappas as they caress one another. “there isn’t much to worry now, riley is out of the picture, the taus are forced to put up with us, and we got our revenge, we don’t have anything to worry about, its all good.” Geoff looks at nate saying at least for now it is, but they should make sure they don’t overstep boundaries or else things can escalate further. The three disregard any semblance of what occurred and focus on one another. Geoff goes down on nate as he and Geoff make out, alternating between the two cocks. Nate remarks Geoff has gotten better at blowjobs since he came out, smiling Geoff licks nates shaft making him throb as he gets into doggie style as the two spit roast him. Nate pulls his tail as he fucks him hard from behind and danny plays with his nipples as he continues to get blown. Geoff slurps on dannys throbbing cock and begs for more. Flipping him over in missionary, nate fucks him while jerking his cock, making him grab the bed. Bending over danny kisses Geoff who grabs his horns forcing his tongue down his throat, “god your both amazing, thank you.” Nate tells him not to thank them yet as he pounds Geoff pulling his nipples, turning him sideways getting even deeper into him. “oh god its thick!.” Danny has nate pull out and takes a turn seeing geoffs hole quivering. “you ready for a another pound courage.” “give it to me horndog, sunny let me suck that cock clean.” The three continue to fuck and suck until theynate and Geoff  cum filling Geoff with their load and take him to the shower to wash off, firmly gripping his cock, nate makes him cum all over making him moan and shake. “mmmmm been holding that in all day leo.” Geoff turns his head kissing both of them under the water, after drying the three cuddle as Geoff states hes gonna sleep in his room as he felt good but doesn’t want to intrude on their alone time.” on his way back wearing his boxers, he sees lukes door cracked open and sees him beating off to porn, “woah!!!!, okay I should not be looking at that.” As he leaves he hears luke moaning while looking at his phone, “fuck that’s a chubby tiger, kinda adorable.” Geoff scoffs saying hes a chubby chaser of woman, only to hear luke mention, “so is that what anal feels like.” Walking away, Geoff talks to himself that he shouldn’t say a word about it to anyone. Luke continues to watch the porn of two tigers fucking and cums on his stomach, “well that fucking happened I guess, fucking auntie raccoon making me deal with this shit.” Taking a tissue and wiping up he mentions that he found the chubby ones better.
The next day begins the practice and luke nate and ark are on the field ready to train against what the fuck ever, ark and nate prove to be good on both offense and defense while luke organizes the player based on past postions. “okay people look alive, we have a lot to prepare for and only a week to get this all done before the game, get ready for sprints.” Nate comments that luke is a fucking slave driver and ark retorts that he will get his when they make it home. By the end of practice everyone in tau Is looking at the three like a bunch of assholes. Nate commenting, “oh my god this is worse than death.” The tau brothers making remarks, “hope the hybrids never screw me.”, Luke mentioning “whats wrong maggots out of breath.” And ark blankly restating “Luke is going to die a virgin.” Finishing up the tau guys look at luke, “yo luke leave the wolf bring the sloth, we can talk strategy today.” “sorry guys we got our own place to shower and you’re a total bunch of assholes so no.” ark takes a ball and throws it clear through the goal post telling them that’s the only strategy they need, “my primal ancestry will dominate that’s all.” the coach appears telling the boys they all need to shower before heading home, ark and nate groan loader and head in, nate wrapping a towel around him walks in seeing the Tau brothers staring at him, as he goes to the corner to wash up next to ark and luke staying quiet. “hey keep your eyes to yourself wolf, don’t want your rape vibes coming over here.”, luke looks at nate ignores them washing his arms, “hey don’t talk to him like this, its your fault we have to do this in the first place asshole, you trashed our rooms.” “yeah only to send a message, he took our brothers away including you.” “never was your brother asshole, and you’re the one saying we were property.” Ark interjects remarking “you know I hear Christians love slavery, Is that why you refer to your prospects as property, cause im sure if I go into your room, theres a popup book of jesus written by a homophobe.” He hears one of the tau brothers whispering “how did he know?”, rolling his eyes the tau brothers look at nate telling him to stop showing off his ass, “im washing myself, if you don’t like it look away got it.” The taus remark back, “oh really you convert Geoff to your way of life and then your trying to take luke all for yourself, we see your game.” “you took it upon yourself to take a boys virginity and steal him from us.” Ark looks at them shaking his head, “Jeez, Tau Epsilon is like a cult of Stockholm syndrome victims...", nate finally losing his cool stares the brothers down,  "You pushed drugs burned him and made him ashamed of who he is what gives you the right to press someone to be something they aren't and punish them for it", the tau brothers look away from nate stating they don’t wanna have him looking like he wants them, “trust me the only person id rather fuck is anyone else besides your frat.” As they leave nate scoffs as he packs his bag up heading to the camino, Luke asks ark if nate is gonna be okay. “honestly hes fine, but those guys are assholes, and deserve to be taken down a peg, but for right now let it go cause were not getting into any more trouble, got it, so keep your mouth shut and ignore them for the time being, don’t escalate.” Nate gets in throwing his bag in the bed of the truck telling the guys to get in, they order pizza on the way home and everyone at the kappa’s eats talking about class. “well me and ark are getting a lot of shit done for isreal our Chinese class is easy as fuck and the teacher is awesome, but Israel forget about it the fucker is a bigot and hates ark for no reason, doesn’t care for me being snarky but I am bluntly honest.” Ark replies his class is shit he has no clue on history, acts like he knows Jesus Christ. “Dr. Johnson can eat a buffet of dicks literally.” The two groan as luke comments that they are going to have a great practice the next day as he notices ark rolling a joint, “oh ark don’t you know we cant smoke for a week before the game.” Nate and him just stare blankly and ark comments if luke tries taking away weed, hes going to be used for target practice with his new ammo.
The two share a joint to the face and get back to talking about future plans, “Halloween is right around the corner and we need a plan, we don’t have any theme and every frat is throwing ragers with different horror themes, tau is doing night of fear, KSO is doing music breakdown of dead celebrities and OKE is doing day of the dead, what are we doing. Looking around nate comments they should do a nice simple rave party, something  fun lively, most of the students love and easy to get costumes, Sophie comments she wants to be belle and ark agrees to be beast if she wishes, “oh my god yes, such a big one at that too.” Luke looks at everyone and asks Geoff who hes going to be, shrugging he feels his belly, “someone chubby I guess.”, danny and nate look at him stating he should go as uncle fester from the Addams family, laughing he agrees and Nate looks at danny, “im going as apollo, favorite god of all time.” Danny remarks he will go as Hercules and the two can be a power couple of the pantheon, Nate looks at him laughing, “dawww you said couple.” Blushing danny looks away saying maybe he should choose something else, theo looks at him sighing, “just do it everyone loves seeing you both together, plus the roman god pairing is cute.” Danny flares his nostrils at theo telling him to stop. “hey not my fault you have a great body for a gods armor.” Izzy remarks that theo is quite a snarky guy, “well ark is ark, nate is blunt, lukes an asshole, im snarky, so fits.”  Ark remarks he can make a melo death playlist easy to fit the occasion. The group rejoice at the plans as the end of September looms in and the October air hits hard, the pool closed for winter despite it heated, but Rebecca has a hottub put in for the gang to use for the fall. Practice work and school make the gang busy as hell, even cutting into fun time for ark, his list of girls keeps getting bigger and bigger but he always seems to rely on sophie to make him the tamed beast he needs to be. He noticed that he enjoys when shes rough with him and makes him want to obey, for some reason a behemoth like him is easily taken by a woman like her, they’ve used toys clamps and bondage feeling every part of them. He remarks that she is the only girl who sticks around after, but is also the freakiest in bed. Looking at her cuddled up to him one night he remarks she is extremely cute and doesn’t want to let go, but doesn’t feel like a relationship is needed. Sophie had only one rule about her, no multiples, she wasn’t a fan of orgies or threesomes, but ark didn’t care, as she was fine with his fuck buddies. Nate Geoff and danny all agreed that they would take care of each other’s stress whenever needed, usually together. Geoff love nate being gentle and rough and can switch in the blink of an eye, while danny was fierce and protective, he was drawn to them, not emotionally but physically. Theo and izzy began having more fun during the weeks, Izzy staying purely to keep tabs on the gang and to make sure bills were paid on time as Rebecca was called to California on new fossils emerging during and earthquake.
Ark and nate take to smoking in the hot tub after the practice considering that the plays and other shit of dealing with tau is hard on the body. “dude one more day then the game and we just fucking quit.” “oy gevalt and we got the dinner too.” “over yonder, fuck my life almighty.”
The game went off without a hitch and the berserkers won in overtime, in the showers ark and nate don’t want to go to the formal dinner but luke looking ecstatic says hes so happy he led the team. Nate looks at ark saying they could make fun of him but it be best to let him have it as he did work hard to organize everyone.  at the party nate and ark stand in the back as luke is congratulated by the staff and coaches for a job well done. “hes a runt of the pack, but he did do well with the team don’t you think.”, nate loosens his tie saying he hates formal duds, but it is true that things have really changed the past month on campus, ark and nate see William from afar who goes over to them looking nervous, nate looks daggers at him stating that he isn’t welcome near them, as after what he did, there isn’t much that needs to be said.
“I know what I did was wrong, but there is no more video, the taus found out about me coming over, I thought Geoff was cute and wanted to play, then after it was over, I felt sick to my stomach and felt, hey I cant do this its wrong and immoral , so I left and riley forced me to stay and help with some sick mind fuck for Geoff leaving.”, ark looks at him, “you realize he was a wreck wondering what happened, blamed himself for letting someone get close and in the end there was nothing left to do but get back at all of you!?” “no really riley needed to be taken down hes a monster who is way more messed up in the head than you think, trust me, all I know is, I am leaving tau for good, focus on myself and my studies, and honestly I just wanted to apologize for everything.”
Nate tells him that he should apologize to Geoff and not them, rebuffing that he can come by to their house and make amends. Grabbing luke the four go home where they see Geoff playing COD on the projector seeing will and tells him to fuck off. Leaving them alone, ark and nate smoke out back and over hear the yelling and then things going quiet. They see will and Geoff hug and laugh when he lets will out of the house telling he will see him again soon, smiling he goes upstairs saying he’s glad he came by.  Walking home will looks at his phone getting messages from TE saying that he better come back immediately as they saw him leaving with the Kappas, “fuck those guys, im going to the dorms.” seeing a person walking in front of him wearing a black hoodie, he scoffs as they walk in front and stab him with a bowie knife leaving him on the sidewalk, whispering that kappa needs to be removed. Getting his phone will dials 911 but passes out before he can talk to them.
The following morning nate and ark are woken by a bang on the door only to find university police and the sherrifs at their front door. A cop asks if the two know a boy named William Channing, ark answers, “yeah he’s someone we are acquainted with, why what’s the problem?”, the cop tells them that William was found stabbed on the sidewalk and passed away at the hospital in the early morning at 3am, and was reported to be coming from the Kappa’s house. Nate and ark look at each other and know that things have officially gone too far.

Howl Until it Hurts: Chapter Four (a Rowdy 3 fic)
FFN II AO3
Story Summary: When Amanda asks how they met, Martin reluctantly tells her the story about how Project Incubus became the Rowdy 3. Following from Martin being brought into Blackwing through their escape.
Chapter Summary: Riggins asks for Martin's help.
Chapter Four: Interconnectedness
Days shifted into weeks and weeks into months. There was a routine to this place that was stifling, but Martin found his small escapes where he could. Riggins came nearly every day after testing, sitting with him for long stretches and talking with him. Sometimes they would go over his studies and sometimes Riggins would discuss his theories about the interconnectedness of everything around them. He truly thought Martin had been led to them. They would talk about his mother and how she was doing in the new facility that Blackwing was paying for to make sure she was well cared for. It wasn't that Martin had made any sort of conscious decision along the way that he should trust Riggins, but the older man talked to him like an actual human being, asking opinions and discussing rather than barking orders like the doctors and scientists that he dealt with most of the day every day. Even when surrounded by people, it was isolating, but Riggins helped provide him with at least a small outlet for that.
When he was gone, though, everything was quiet and it was enough to drive Martin mad.
At one point he convinced someone to get him a radio, but the damn thing only played "calming," classical music. It had been like some sort of sick joke. He threw it against the wall outside his door and watched the pieces scatter down the hall with a smirk playing on his features. He just needed noise. He didn't have to make it, but if they wouldn't give him anything that would, he'd do what he had to.
They started locking him in at some point, probably to keep the destruction contained. Riggins hadn't said anything about the chaos that was Martin's room or the fact that he'd never really corrected the jumpsuit and how he wore it. It was something, and Martin would take as many somethings as he could to retain at least a fraction of himself in his new normal.
The knock startled him awake late one night and the door slid opened, Riggins' shadowy figure dark against the light from the hall. Martin grabbed his glasses and placed them on his nose to get a clearer view of the older man. A quick glance at the clock showed it was two in the morning. Great. He'd only fallen asleep an hour before. He shot a glare at Riggins and buried himself back under the blankets. "Come back in the mornin'," he huffed.
"This can't wait. I need your help with something."
"You need to run a test at two am?" the teen growled.
"No. There's been an… incident. I think you might be able to help with it."
That caught Martin's attention. He tossed back the covers, his bare feet already on the cold floor. "What'dya mean?"
Riggins motioned and the teen followed, not bothering with shoes or a change of clothes. His interest was focused on something to break up the routine and he was nearly bouncing as he followed down the way.
In the abstract he knew the facilities had to be huge, but this was a part he hadn’t seen yet. The walls were the same bright white but energy buzzed through the air and Martin was drawn to it. He'd never felt anything like it.
"Adam Reid was brought in to us two days ago," Riggins explained as he motioned for Martin to follow him up a set of stairs. "As far as we've been able to tell, he has an excess of kinetic energy that he can't control. We haven't been able to speak with him yet because he can't or won't stop."
Martin paused with Riggins to peer down into a room through a huge glass window. The walls were padded, but Adam Reid was bouncing off of them as he pinged from one end of the room to the other. There were others. Riggins had said there were, but Reid was the first one Martin had seen for himself.
"He's freaked out. Not sure he could stop if he wanted to," the blond murmured, tilting his head a little. "So what do ya want from me?"
"To stop him."
Blue eyes watched the figure below. Best Martin could tell he was a little older. It was hard to be sure with the constant motion. The one thing he was sure of was that he didn't want to be doing what he was doing. Martin had known that particular feeling well. "What if I hurt him?"
"You won't."
Riggins had a hell of a lot more confidence than Martin did in the situation. The teen snorted and glanced over. "How'd you get him in anyway?"
"He was brought in by a new recruit. You haven't met him yet."
"Lot of people here I ain't met," Martin huffed. "There stairs or somethin'? I can't reach him up here. And not through this." He tapped the glass.
Riggins motioned to the door to their right and Martin pulled in a deep breath through his nose. It was meant to calm him, to focus him, so he had a chance to not hurt the poor guy. It brought something else in with the scent of fear though. Something he didn't recognize, and he spun, looking for the source and finding only Riggins and the guards they'd come in with, not the source of the scent that screamed danger in his mind. It unsettled him.
"You'll do just fine," Riggins encouraged, mistaking his action for hesitation over his own control.
Martin gave a brief nod and started out the door and down the stairs, trying to shake the knot that was forming in the pit of his stomach and the strange sensation flooding into his body with every intake of breath that there was someone nearby that was wrong. It wasn't Reid, wasn't Riggins. He didn't know who or what it was, and right now he didn't have time to think about it.
The door opened and he stepped into the room, briefly wondering how many times Riggins had been watching him behind large panes of reflective glass as they tried to find out what made him tick. He didn't have long think about it as Reid hit too damn close for comfort. He jumped, barely missing being taken off his feet and had to dodge again only seconds later. The third time he he went flying, Reid slamming into him hard.
Martin hit the wall and fell face first into the soft floor. He shook his head hard, the hit focusing him in. Okay. He wanted to play. Martin was game.
Palms pressed against the floor he launched himself up to his feet, exploding forward and this time as Reid came at him he was ready, ducking low to catch him in what was essentially a bear hug around the middle and he used his own weight and Reid's momentum toss him off his balance. A laugh - the first one since he'd come to this place - escaped him as they both went tumbling, but he gained control of the roll so that he landed on top, his fingers wrapped in Reid's shirt and energy flowed freely.
It was different than the other times. It tasted better, and in that moment Martin knew he wasn't going to hurt the man. There wouldn't be a change in him. Somehow, he was able to feed off of people like him.
Reid went limp and Martin released him, sitting back on the mats that made up the floor and he found himself grinning. That was the most fun he'd had in a long time.
"What…. what'd you do to me?"
The grin settled into a smirk. "Drained some of your energy," Martin answered. "You gotta store there, man. It's like a buffet."
"You eat it?"
Martin leaned against bent knees as Reid started to pull himself up to sitting, looking around. "Basically."
"Thank you."
Blue eyes blinked hard and Martin reached up to push his glasses up the bridge of his nose, wincing as he felt the repercussions of hitting the ground with them on. One of the lenses was cracked too. Oh well. It could have been a hell of a lot worse.
"So…. where are we?" Reid asked.
"Blackwing. It's -"
The door slid open and Riggins was followed by his guards. "We've got it from here. Thank you, Martin."
There was something odd to his tone, as if he were dismissing the teen. Martin supposed he was, and he gave one more quirked smile to Reid. Maybe he'd see him again. After all, if he could feed off others like him without hurting them, that meant they didn't have to keep him locked away. Maybe it was good he'd gotten out of bed in the earliest hours of the morning. "You may be onto something with this whole…. Interconnectedness thing you got goin'," he told Riggins and the older man patted his shoulder.
"I might just."
Notes: There was something about the way Martin talks to Riggins in S1 that makes me feel like he truly trusted him at one point and feels very, very betrayed by him, so I feel like there must have been at least some not-so-terrible moments in Blackwing. Maybe early on when he was still a little disillusioned that they were wanting to help him.
Oh, and for those that have been asking: Gripps shows up in the next chapter ;)
Apologies for any crazy typos. I do the majority of my writing on my phone and even a read through or two doesn't always catch them all. If you see anything major, please feel free to drop me a note so that I can correct it. Thanks :D

Romantic For A Leaf [21/52]
Asexual Awareness Week Fandom Challenge 2017
Tues 24th, Day 3: Post about canon and headcanoned asexual/spectrum characters in games and any other media not mentioned in the previous days.
For this occasion 21st drabble of 52 aspec drabbles of 2017. All about Douglas Richardson. Well, okay, mostlyaboutDouglas Richardson. It’s also about  Arthur Shappey. [Also on AO3]
Douglas doesn't get married for the fourth time.
He thinks about it sometimes.
When he chats up a lady in a bar and they have a good time. He remembers how much fun it is to talk to someone, flirt shamelessly and enjoy the company of a beautiful woman.
He thinks about it on Herc's and Carolyn's wedding, because hey, maybe three time is not the charm. Maybe fifth time will make it. It worked for Herc, it seems. They're both disgustingly happy, snapping at each other all the time and stealing affectionate glances like they're teenagers. Carolyn tries to be sneaky about it at least, though went caught she just raises an eyebrow in the classic "So what? what you're going to do about it? I'm not embarrassed!" before she turns away, fake boredom carefully painted on her face. Herc just looks like a besotted idiot that he is.
Douglas thinks about marriage when the holidays come and he's alone. He spent last year with Martin, it was fun. Mostly because he convinced Martin that the best way to avoid meeting potential-future-in-laws too early and being stuck with his own, far less royal, but a not less annoying family was to simply tell both parts he is spending Christmas with the other one and just stay at Douglas's. Martin in a frenzy while trying to lie was better than any Christmas movie.
Theresa figured it out by the second phone call and niggled Martin until he confessed everything and she called him a silly bean who was just supposed to tell her things like that.
Mostly because she needed to know when he got overwhelmed more than usual. But also partly because she wanted to be on a scheme and escape to Douglas' too.
Douglas took it as a compliment, but did not believe for a second he will be granted another Christmas like this. Martin was off to become a royal family member and he needed to come to terms with that.
Douglas faces the idea of empty, lonely Christmas in his empty house and gets himself a trip to Thailand instead.
He is not made for solitude, he needs people around and in a way, he does have them. He sees Carolyn and Herc often enough, Arthur is almost a constant bother and a solid noise creator. Martin calls at least once a fortnight and Douglas always makes time for that. Whether he is alone or playing cards with Kurt and the boys, or going to the pool, or eating at a fancy restaurant to treat himself... He walks out of a few rooms containing few beautiful dates or dear friends to chat with Martin for few minutes at the very least. Often longer. Once they talked for two hours because Martin had a difficult flight the next day and he needed someone who was willing to listen and who would understand what he's talking about. Douglas made that lending over a dozen times, he got vaguely bored of the subject quickly enough, but he misses Martin and misses Martin needing him. What he did in his lonely bed after they ended the conversation, the memory of Martin's voice still fresh in his mind, that was no one's business but his.
Douglas often thinks about marriage, sometimes not entirely out of his own will.
"Do you think you will get married again, Douglas?"
Of course, most people are too polite to just bring it up. It is a passing joke or half a remark whenever he expresses an interest in someone, but no one blatantly asks. Well, no one but Arthur.
"I rather think that's behind me now. Why? Is marriage on your mind, my young fella?"
"Sort of," Arthur shrugs. "I've been with Katie for a long time now."
Douglas is briefly stumped, while he knows that Arthur dates - a shocking bit of knowledge but one he digested a long time ago - the idea of him actually marrying someone... settling down... Well, that's quite mindblowing.
"Well, that is certainly one way to go from there."
"No, I don't mean like right now. She is brilliant, but I don't think mum would be happy if I just proposed without thinking properly about that."
"No, I don't think she would be." Douglas can't wait for Carolyn to hear this news and silently blesses Arthur's chattiness which gave Douglas a unique opportunity to look calm and collected when everyone else will splatter.
"But I was just thinking because I've never been with anyone for more than a year! And it's been almost two! And she's really brilliant and has the best ideas and loves me and doesn't mind that I'm ace... She was brilliant about it! And she gives the best hugs... I just think maybe, you know, in the future. And I thought I'd ask you about marriage, I mean you had three of them!"
"Herc just had his fifth!" Douglas points out bitterly.
"Well, yeah, but he's married to mom! He will tell her everything. And it's not a secret!" Arthur assures quickly. "But it's not anything yet so she doesn't have to know."
"That is a very logical argument, Arthur."
"Thanks. So, why won't you marry again?"
Douglas sighs. Arthur is apparently on the trope and like a dog with a bone, with true un-Arthurian determination, he was refusing to obediently follow any distraction.  
"I don't think relationships are exactly for me, Arthur," Douglas replies, surprising himself with the honesty. "I seem to start losing the interest, so to speak, as soon as the deal is sealed and my affections are returned. I don't think I would like to go through that again. It's far too much mess for a man my age."
He grins self-mockingly and hopes for the best. It would work with Martin too.
Arthur, to Douglas' great grief, is not Martin.
"So you're like lithromantic?"
Douglas blinks in surprise.
"I have no idea what that is, and I'm quite frankly shocked that you do. And that you can say a word that long."
Arthur waves him off, clearly not offended. Actually seeming to brighten up as if he was offered a compliment.
"I read a lot when Katie and I talked about how I don't like sex and don't want it and it's okay, she told me all about asexuality and we read more together and there were all those complicated words, but I liked learning them, because I thought I never had a word and I thought it's just me being me and maybe it wasn't really okay, you know? So maybe when I heard someone talking about that I could have a word for them and they will feel better too!"
"Oh?" offers Douglas weakly. He can't remember when was the last time he had as little control of a conversation as he does now, but he's pretty sure it involved Arthur as well.
"Yeah! And there was a word, I'm pretty sure it was lithromantic, I remember because I thought it sounded funny, like your romantic for a leaf, and it's like that, that you fall in love with someone, but when they return your feelings it disappears."
"Huh," Douglas hums thoughtfully, he's not sure whether he should trust Arthur on his vocabulary skills, but the concept is somewhat comforting. Still, he really doesn't want to get stuck with Arthur Shappey trying to figure out his romantic life or whatever he got into now, a stronger distraction is very much required. "Well, that confirms I'm no expert on making a good marriage, but I am, of course, at your service regarding the grand proposal!"
"Oh! Brilliant! Because I was thinking it has to be super brilliant, you know? So she will want to say yes. Not that I want her to say yes because there will be a lot of balloons, but it couldn't hurt, right?"
"Of course," assures Douglas, barely listening to the ideas that seem to involve copious amount of food and somehow also polar bears and maybe an airplane.
After checking the autopilot is still doing a marvelous job, Douglas discreetly pulls out his phone and puts lithromantic in the search engine. He doesn't need a definition for anything, of course, but still, it's good to check your facts.

A Big Announcement
"Dakota, I don't think it's a good idea, maybe I should turn back and get ready for Colin's movie."  Eva kinda of protested stopping her walking steps and stood there with a total confusion look readable on her face.  The fact that she would be missing on purpose Colin's movie premiere was striking in her mind.  She has made him a promise and failing at such was clearly not her habit.  
"Drling liste, we had this conversation quiet earlier, we are in Cannes, fucking Cannes baby and Cannes was also created to have fun and not only to behave with cinematographic duties, you sent him a text message telling Colin you were sick and he believed you, so for now forget about this and look we are a few steps ahead of the biggest night in Cannes, relax and have fun my love." Dakota seized her friend's arm and pulled her towards way forcing Eva to follow her steps.  This one couldn't really protest and just answered with a deep sigh.  
"Ok but if he ever comes to find out that I lied him, you'll have to bear the entire responsibility for that, are we clear on that?" This one said with a little tint of agressiveness in her voice tone.  Eva herself got lost into her concern she felt for Colin.
"Ok... ok if it has to be so it'll be and I will take the full responsibility, I promise, but now let's rock into that party and get us some hot males on board." Dakota said with the rejoice of an excited teenager as they reached the Armani's yacht, the biggest and longest one of Cannes' pier.
"OMG Paris Hilton is there.., how the fuck sjr got invited, as I know she's not friend with Leo!" Eva mumbled in annoyed face.
"It's Paris and she can get invited anywhere without being invited." Dakota replied with sarcasm as both of the girls stepped on board of the luxurious yatch.
As they appeared to the others guests, almost every of the men present on the deck couldn't get their eyes off Eva.  Even the men that were accompanied of their wives or girlfriend.  Eva was one of those type of beauty that men couldn't resist to.  This one tried to keep her coolness even though this wasn't an easy mission.  She seized DakotA's arm as if it was her safe boat forcing her to step to the first floor deck. The boat was beautifully decorated to a theme party with silver and white balloons everywhere, silver twinkle lights, silver coated patisseries and much more of petits-fours displayed on every tables, not to forget customized swaroski crystals bottles of Moët et Chandron champagne.  Eva observed each of the details the organizers put in the decorations, it should have been a meticulous job.  "What is that?" She asked to herself.
Tumblr media
"Any idea of what is going on here?" Eva asked her friend.
"Holy fuck yeah...look to your left, look who's here?"
"Who?" Eva said looking to her left with a stupefied look on her face.  "OMG shit, Amber Heard with Gabriel Macht!" She burst out.  The kind of burst out which caught a little of attention from her pals, briefly as they turned back to their conversations.
"Do you think as I?" Dakota asked
"Ehhhm I don't know what to say maybe they just friends." Eva shrugged her shoulders.   Interfering into other's business never been her cup of tea.  She respected privacy and expected the same favor towards her private life.
"Oh come Eva, don't pretend to be that foolish, did you already see Amber bitch Heard hanging with a guy if it's anything else apart being banged up?"
"Isn't Gabriel in a relation with that model Petra Nemcova?" Eva frowned her eyebrows as her gaze stayed focussed on the pair sitting closely to touch on the sofa.
"As far as I know yeah, they've been dating for almost a year, gosh I'm pretty sure that slut did something to get him into her web.... and I can't blame her, Macht is a piece of fine ass." Dakota answered sarcastically.
"Hmmm..." Eva said as she sipped on the flute of champage she grabbed from the waiter.
"What hmmmm, won't you admit that Gabriel Macht is fine as vine?"
"I never said he wasn't, for sure he's hot as hell..and that smile"
"And...??" Dakota shot back with a weird gaze at her friend.
"And nothing..."
"Maybe I should use my savage side and investigater further more on that case." Dakota winked an eye.
"No, you not doing anything Dakota, it's their business, not our's alright!"
"I'm pretty sure she is the reason between Gabriel and Petra break up!"
"We don't even know is they broke up!!"
"Gabriel is very private concerning his life, don't you think he would have come here with the bitch and get photographed by hundreth of paparazzis and to put at risk his relation just like that!!"
"I don't know and I don't wanna know!!"
"But I want to know nada!!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, you are requested at the main living room, all of you, come down to the main living room please!" The voice of dj Martin Garrix echoed through the speakers.
"Let's go, because this time I really want to know what this party is for!" Eva exclaimed as both followed the rest of the celebrities downstairs.
"Hey, Eva..." A guy spoke enough loudly so Eva could notice him, this one stopped and looked behind.
"Scott, hey you, how did you get in?" Eva sarcastically asked as she knew that Leo and this guys Scott Elrod weren't that close friends.
"I sneaked in behind Toby Maguire when this one got in the boat, he didn't even notice it stupid spider-man."  Scott's attempt to compose a joke seemed a failure to Eva as this one gave him a look of somebody fully taken aback by a nasty comment.
"Oh I see.." She simply replied as a parade.
"Hey what about to get a drink after this eagerly awaiting announcement is done?"
"Yeah, sure..." Eva vaguely answered as she walked at fastened steps to reach Dakota that had secured seats for them.  But what Eva missed was the nasty look Scott gave her when she turned back, it didn't seem to be someone with good intentions.
Excitement could be seen and heard between the guests discussions, what was the so important celebration for, it was about to get reveled as Leonardo appeared to them, with a radiant smiling face, you could tell he was happy.
"Ladies, gentlemen, friends, relatives, mom [He smiled to his mom who was sitting opposite to Eva and Dakota] if you are gathered tonight, it is for a very special reason, because I love each one of you, and I wanted to make this announcement big... as you know my personal life has been over and over again exposed to the public.  Sometimes I made the wrong choice, sometimes I wasn't lucky, sometimes I was too picky, sometimes I was fucked up which ended in dramatic conditions, but today, this part of my life came up tp a drastic change, and I never thought I'd be this happy again... and it's all because of one person, she's here tonight with us, I want you guys to know that she made me a better man, she's my everything, I love her passionately, and we decided to keep going that way, for good, she is my friend, my woman and my wife to be, please give my girl Rih the warmest of the welcome she deserves!"
Tumblr media
Everyone present was nicely surprised by his revelation as they stood an ovation for the one and only Rihanna.  No one saw it coming, not a hint, nothing.  There Rihanna walked to reach Leonardo, even her manner of walking was alluring, she walked like a goddess, dressed in a red bordeaux velvet dress, a pure queen.  It was all said, Leonardo DiCaprio and Rihanna was the couple of this century. Leonardo starred at her  in a way like that every girl wanted to be looked at.  His eyes were sparkling with love and so hers.  
Eva was still stumped at that news.  She starred at the couple hugging cutely and then looked again at her friend Dakota.  
"OMG..." was only that came out of her mouth.
"Eva, if you're gonna tell me you were in the unknown of this, I'll push you into the swimming pool!"
"No need to because I was unaware of that detail!"
"Stop lying or you'll go to hell girl!!"
"I'm not I told you"
"You're among his best friends, how don't you know that?" Dakota kept questionning her friend.
"We all have a private life I guess, and I think it was too cute to have kept this just for them!"
"Anyway, I guess we'll get the honor to attend the biggest wedding of the century."
"Who said you going to get invited?" Eva goofed.
"Oh shut up  you... ok all that emotions opened my thirst, I need a drink, come with me to the bar?"
"Yes sure, just give me a second please."
"Ok love."
Eva sat for a few more seconds, her mind constantly tormenting her about Colin and the fact that she missed his premiere.  He had trusted in her because she made him the promise she wouldn't miss that moment, because it was Cannes, and when you were having your movie played at night it was such a sort of royal privilege.  Her hand reached her iPhone in her blue clutch, hastily unlocked the screen and pressed instantly the message icon on the screen.  
As the message was sent she stood up from the white leather sofa still with that guilt stuck on her chest.
She made her way to the bar where three hot barmen was on duty, of course she noticed them.   Maybe she was single but was allowed to please her eyes and brain.  She looked out for her friend Dakota, but no sight of her.  "Where the fuck is she?" She mumbled between her teeth as she kept at looking  for her friend at every direction.
"Hey beautiful Eva, I was looking for you, I hope you didn't forget our drink.?" Scott's voice could be heard.  "Oh shit please no!!" Her heart spoke for hersef.  
"No I didn't..." She said with a forced smile and forced to be pleasant.
"So this is for you, a martini Blanco, your favorite if my mind is good." He smiled.
"Woooow, seems you learned your lesson about me." She shot back with a tint of sarcasms.
"Not really, but I know it is a ladies drink, I just guess it was."  He replied as they both cheered.    Eva drank a sip of the delicious drink as she starred at her opposite direction still trying to sport her friend.
"Hahah, you are a true ladies man I guess then."  She winked.
"Hmmm nah, not with every ladies, with the best and prettiest only."  He sipped on his glass with an eye wink.  
"Is he flirting.."  Eva spoke to herself while drinking another sip of her drink.
"Oh woooow, I'm flattered."  She said in a courteous manner.  Eva was trying to do everything she could to be the  less responsive to his flirting attempts.
"Don't be, I'm sure you're used to this, men fall easily for gorgeous women like you Eva."
"Oh shit, yes he is flirting, WTF, find an excuse to escape girl, NOW!" Her mind kept telling her. She sipped again on her glass until she felt something wrong, she felt dizzy with palpitations.  
"Aren't you feeling hot?" She asked.
"No, the air conditioners must be at their lowest of the temperatures, what, are you okay?" He asked with concern.
"I don't know, I feel weird, I feel dizzy, and ... I don't know.." She said as she lose her balance.  Scott grabbed her quickly enough otherwise she would have fell down.
"Ok, you definitely not, maybe we should go outside for some fresh air, you'll feel better."  He said as he passed his arm around her waist to give her some support.
"No, No... I need to go to the restroom..."  She barely could spoke.  Eva felt the ground swallowing her, her feet were weak as if she was suffering a hay fever, she knew something was wrong.  
"Ok, I'm going to bring you to the restroom, you can put some fresh water on your face will help."  Scott said as he guided Eva on tiny pace steps, she could barely walk.
"What is happening, what did you put in my drink, asshole..."
"Eva, I think your mind is playing you tricks sweetheart..."  He smiled with a satisfied grin.
"Ok... "  She said but was unnoticeable to him.
"There you are, you want me to go in with you, I don't want you to hurt yourself."
"N....No, I just want to put water on my face..." She said and used the last string of energy to get inside the restroom.  Inside, she leaned her body against the cold refreshing marbled wall and tried to compose herself, but she felt worse, feeling she would puke anytime.  She let her body to lay down, feeling her heart pounding hastily against her chest.  As a reflect, she tried to reach her clutch to grab her phone but couldn't.
"OMG, are you okay?" She heard a voice, a voice that sounded familiar to her but couldn't think out properly of who it was.
"I..I..."
"Tell me what's wrong..."
"I don't know."
"You clearly looked like you have been drugged, who did that to you..." Amber asked as she helped Eva to sit against the wall.
"There... the.. a guy outside..." Eva barely spoke as Amber used a toilet towel to put some fresh water on Eva's face.
"Ok, he's there outside... wait, I'm calling a friend he will help us." Amber said as she composed a number on her phone screen.
"Call Dakota please.." Eva begged.
"Ok, first we'll need help...Yes Gabriel, please can you come inside ladies restroom, there is a problem here."
"Don't worry Eva you're safe." Amber spoke with a reassured voice tone.
"Please call her, Dakota..."
"Ehmm yes... ok..." Amber said as she seized Eva's phone from her clutch and looked up for Dakota's number.  "Dakota, I'm calling you on Eva's request, we are at the ladies restroom and she is not doing so well, hurry and come please!"
"Thank you..."
"You don't have to Eva.." Amber said as she kept cleaning Eva's face,  
"Amber... what is wrong here..." A strong voice was heard, as Gabriel made his way inside.
"I think she got drugged, look at her, poor girl, if I wasn't there, I can not even imagine what could have happened to her, she's totally wasted."
"Yeah I can see that... did you call her friends or something.." Gabriel said as he sat down too.
"Yeah, Dakota will be there soon."
"There is that tall guy waiting outside... is that him who did that to her?"
"Scott..." Eva murmured.
"OH MY GOD, Eva, baby, sweetheart..." Dakota said horrified as she erupted in the restroom.
"She was drugged by a guy named Scott and he's waiting outside..." Gabriel said
"What, which guy  there is no guy here." Dakota answered as she held Eva's face in her hands.
"He must have gone then, he knew he has been busted, what an asshole." Gabriel replied.
"Okay, thank you guys for having take care of her, but I'm here now and I'm bringinh her back to the hotel... Oh Amber thank you so much, if you hadn't been here, I don't know what would have happened."
"You're welcome Dakota, but how are you gonna bring her back to to the hotel... maybe we can help though."
"Hmmm yes, maybe Gabriel can help me to bring her out of here, and I have a friend who's awaiting for me outside."
"Yes, sure..."  Both him and Dakota grabbed Eva and placed both of her arms on their shoulders. Eva her, was almost unconscious of what was going on around her.  
"Thank you guys, thank you so much." Dakota sincerely spoke out.
"Just let us know if she;s okay right." Gabriel said as they walked out of the restroom.
"Eva will,." Dakota replied.
