“I want to go home.”

It stings Norton as he suddenly imagines Aesop’s voice mouthing her words. Except it can’t be. Aesop is not here.

-

this is a comic based on the scene of chapter 30 of starring mister morton by hellotomie on ao3. (please do take note of the tags if you decide to check it out!) i followed this fic from the start up until the very end and i can't stress how much it really means to me. i drew this around the time the fic ended last year.

May I ask for eli Clark with a s/O who's literally lived inside of a mirror and can't get out whatsoever? Like s/O can be at anything that is reflective if you know what I mean?

absolutely! here you go💞💞

(this ask reminded me of illuso like immediately lolol jojo brainrot will end me)

eli clark with an s/o who lives inside of a mirror hcs🦉

eli...doesn't really remember the last time he saw his reflection with his own two eyes.

he always seems to forget how his own face looks like, too.

having brooke rose play the role of his eyes after going blind, he doesn't bother taking off his blindfold most of the time

when brooke's not around, he uses touch to get by - tapping the walls around him, sensing the texture of them with his thumb to locate himself

eli knows walls can't talk, of course. but one day, they did - a smooth glossy wall, from behind it was more than a mere knock coming through

with no owl to aid him, eli stands baffled in front of - what he doesn't know is - a mirror, staring blankly at the direction of the whispers he hears, not knowing that he's facing you directly

he's not a stranger to visions and prophecies, but this time it sounds too loud and clear to be a hallucination, beyond his mind's eye

eventually, he finds the courage to talk back, to ask and answer. the voice is human, light, melodic, but when he tries to reach out for their face, all he feels underneath his palms is the cold, smooth surface of the mirror

now with brooke on his shoulder, he regularly passes by the spot he first heard your voice, secretly anticipating another call from beyond his reflection, wanting to see your face

he tries to catch a glimpse - frequently he'll watch the mirror from behind a corner, waiting for your fleeting image to appear for a mere second

to his shock, the next time he heard your voice it came from the grandfather clock at the main entrance of the manor

hidden between the roman numerals, your visage appears, just for a moment. it's transparent, disappearing with the rays of the sun and appearing again with the shadows, but it disperses his cautiousness

even when blind, wherever he is in the manor, he can hear your voice

the bathroom mirror, a heart locket, a coin in his satchel, he tends to foolishly press his face against the polish to hear you better, to submerge your voice in his brain

and, as always, he whispers back to you, hands cupped around whatever object he's communicating through

he keeps you close at all times :) maybe as a shard inside his pocket or a silver necklace

when on walks outside he points them at the sky or nature, hoping their beauty will reach you

keeps wary of all sorts of reflective objects you may appear in

and sometimes, just sometimes, when mary swings his mirror shard at him, he hopes he'll catch your pair of eyes watching from her hands, cheering on for him to go on and do his best

Next month is the annual exhibitor showcase Cinemacon where movie studios tout their wares for the very anxious theater owners.

It has already been announced that Sony is sitting this year out, so no info on VENOM 3: THE LAST DANCE, to be released October 25, 2024.

While I assume there will be some changes to the lineup, so far it is shaping up to be:

OPENING DAY: International Day features a screening of Universal 80s series remake THE FALL GUY starring Ryan Gosling, Emily Blunt, Hannah Waddingham and Aaron Taylor-Johnson (who has said in a recent interview that it is a small role) ; directed by David Leitch (BULLET TRAIN, DEADPOOL 2)

DAY ONE: WB pulls up with their presentation "The Big Picture". It will be the first Cinemacon for James Gunn in his position as Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DC Studios.

I expect a song and dance from Gunn about how awesome sauce the new DC film universe will be

I'll believe it when I see it.

Sure to tease SUPERMAN LEGACY which stars David Corenswet as the title character, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.

JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX, BEETLEJUICE, BEETLEJUCE

MORE STUDIO OFFERINGS

Also, FURIOSA: A MAD MAX SAGA

, the supernatural horror film THE WATCHERS, directed and written by Ishana Night Shyamalan, daughter of M. Night

, M. Night Shymalan's TRAP starring Josh Hartnett, ALTO KNIGHTS with Robert DeNiro playing a dual role.

Certainly don't expect anything to hear about THE BATMAN sequel other than it won't shoot until 2025. There has been no reason provided, but some say there isn't even a script, others say it was because there were no soundstages available in London to shoot this year.

DAY TWO: ANGEL STUDIOS - The outfit behind SOUND OF FREEDOM.

I suspect they will tease SIGHT starring Greg Kinnear and BONHOEFFER (aka GOD'S SPY) about German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer, starring August Diehl, Flula Borg and Clarke Peters.

LIONSGATE: I suspect they will tease Guy Ritchie's THE MINISTRY OF UNGENTLEMANLY WARFARE starring a pick-a-mix of men for all tastes - Henry Cavill, Alan Ritchson, Alex Pettyfer, Henry Golding and Hero Fiennes Tiffins

; the action-thriller BOY KILLS WORLD fronted by Bill Skarsgård and costarring Sharlto Copley, Andrew Koji (who is working like mad), Famke Janssen and Isaiah Mustafa.

Surely, another Bill Skarsgård film THE CROW with fka Twigs

; THE STRANGERS: CHAPTER 1, which is the third film in the franchise - doing a bit of FAST AND THE FURIOUS mathing. It stars Madelaine Petsch, Froy Guittierez and Gabriel Basso

At long last the BALLERINA has pliete into the spotlight. This JOHN WICK spinoff stars Ana De Armas, with Anjelica Huston reprising her role from JOHN WICK 2. It's direct by Len Wiseman who directed the UNDERWORLD films starring his ex-wife Kate Beckinsale.

BORDERLANDS, an action-comedy based on the game, brought to the screen by Eli Roth. Starring Kevin Hart, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jack Black, Cate Blanchett, Haley Bennett and Édgar Ramírez, amongst others.

and WHITE BIRD, which is in the same universe as the excellent children geared film WONDER. It was due to come out in 2023 but was pushed back due to the actors strike.

UNIVERSAL / FOCUS FEATURES: I suspect teases for Dev Patel's directorial debut MONKEY MAN. The film was originally slated to go to Netflix but Jordan Peele, under his Monkey Paw shingle, bought it and took it to Universal so it could have a theatrical release. *Granted, Netflix does a theatrical release for most of their films in certain markets, but I get Peele's rationale.

Their Monsters Universe theatrical idea didn't work, but Universal has realized there is more than one way to skin a cat. They are creating a Universal Monsters themed area at their parks and their monster/horror film ABIGAIL is a re-imaging of DRACULA'S DAUGHTER. It stars Alisha Weir, Melissa Barrera and Dan Stevens and features Angus Cloud in one of his last roles.

THE FALL GUY most definitely will have a place. Same with THE BIKERIDERS (with Austin Butler, Tom Hardy, Jodie Comer, Norman Reedus, Mike Faist, etc.), which was a 20th Century (Disney owned) Film, and even though it was the first major film out the gate ahead of Oscars/Golden Globes' FYC season with a screening and Q&A held in L.A., the studio purposely stalled the engine and towed it off their schedule. It will now be distributed by Focus Features in the U.S., and Universal, internationally.

Other possible teases? DESPICABLE ME 4, TWISTERS, the standalone sequel to the 90s film TWISTERS

, horror film SPEAK NO EVIL starring James McAvoy and Mackenzie Davis

, WICKED: PART ONE and Sir Ridley Scott's GLADIATOR 2 with Paul Mescal and Pedro Pascal.

There will also be a surprise screening; studio unknown.

DAY THREE: PARAMOUNT: Expected: the mixed live-action and animated comedy IF starring Ryan Reynolds, written/directed and produced by John Krasinski.

A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE, GLADIATOR 2 (though this is a co-production with Universal, so maybe Uni will tout it), SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3, the unending production that is MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 8,

WALT DISNEY: Possible: THE FIRST OMEN, KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES

, MOANA 2, INSIDE OUT 2, DEADPOOL 3, ALIEN: ROMULUS, CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD and SNOW WHITE.

CinemaCon always closes out with their awards (which always ties into an upcoming release. Funny how that works.

So far the honourees are:

Star of the Year - Lupita Nyong'o (A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE)

Breakthrough Performer of the Year - Joseph Quinn (A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE)

CinemaCon Vanguard Award - Amy Poehler (INSIDE OUT 2)

Director of the Year - Shawn Levy (DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE)

Requesting + Blog FAQ ꒰ᐢ. .ᐢ꒱

· · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·

Blog FAQ

"What do you blog about on well… this blog?"

I write Identity V x reader headcanons, shorts, and drabbles! I will potentially post some art and stories of my OC that I created for the game as well, and rarely will I share my Canon Character x OC works.

"Whats is your gender focus for readers, Saey?"

I try really hard to make the majority of my works gender-neutral so my headcanons are available to a wide audience of people. I do not often write male!readers as I am not comfortable with it. I do write a good portion of female!readers, however. It just depends on the vibe I try to go for in a headcanon and for comfort's sake!

"What characters will you write about?"

To be honest, I am not sure •᷄ࡇ•᷅ I really like writing boys, and I am looking forward to writing a lot about my favorite character Joker! However, this doesn't hinder me from writing about really cute girls! Below, I will provide a list of all the characters I am willing to write about, so please reference it before requesting, or your request can and will be deleted! ♡

"Do you provide warnings on your headcanons?"

I always have and always will! The format above the image space will always contain the prompt/request, the hunter/survivor and the identity, warnings, the reader's gender, and an author's note!

· · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·

Requesting FAQ

"How can I request?"

I would really prefer it if you sent a request in the following format:

Provide the hunter or survivor's name + alias [example: Can you write for Joker (Weeping Clown)...]

Provide if you would like headcanons, shorts, or a drabble*

Provide the prompt/idea you have [1-5 sentence preference!]

Provide any additional comments you have for me please!

I would prefer if requests were formatted this way for the sake of clarity. If you provide too much in the prompt/idea, chances are I will not respond to it, as I like room to have some creative freedom! Plus, requesting in this format makes it much easier for me to know what you would like!

*Guide to type requesting: Headcanons are bullet pointed and short, with summarized ideas of how I see the relationship between the reader and a character. They do not have fleshed out sentences and tend to be brief, short, and simple; Shorts are short stories that are bullet pointed! They can be easily compared to oneshots, except on my blog I bullet point them to make it easier to read; Drabbles are my own ideas that are brief and unformatted entirely (<100 words) or fleeting ideas without a guided plot. They are just for me to test new ideas I never tried before.

"When will I be taking requests?"

I usually will let you all know in a blog post so be on the lookout for those, because they will pop up! Usually I will take 3-5 requests at a time, depending on what is requested

"Are there limitations to how much or what I request?"

I tend to not have any limitations when it comes to what my readers can or cannot request, let alone how many requests you send to me! If you have seen my past works, you probably know I am a dark / 18+ / angst writer first and foremost. Don't let that stop you from requesting fluff or soft content though, because there is a chance I can create something if I am inspired! However, I will not write any mature headcanons for canonically underage Identity V champions. There will be no exceptions to this.

Living in a Dystopian Present

Wikipedia defines dystopia as “an imaginary community or society that is undesirable or frightening. It is literally translated from Greek as ‘not-good place,’ an antonym of utopia.” For as long as there have been fiction writers, they have been stories that envision a dystopian future. Such as Mad Max, Enders Game, Blade Runner, The Walking Dead, Book of Eli, and 1984. The dystopia future allows writers to paint a bleak future where people run amuck. They can then have plot freedom which cannot be achieved in a “normal” world.

    There is a twofold reason people get drawn to this kind of plot. Let’s use the Mad Max franchise as an example. The characters in Mad Max are on the brink of starvation and they drive around in crazy cars attempting to survive. Why do we like this? Because society does not allow outlandish (exciting) behavior. If somebody were to drive a “non-street legal” car around while committing crimes, it would be big news and the person would be arrested. This is a good thing because bad driving and crime are detrimental to a pleasant society.

    When we let our imagination wonder away from our normal society and enjoy the Mad Max story, it is fun. How cool would it be to drive around in a super charged monster car? Breaking everything in sight and overcoming adversity? That is precisely why we like the Mad Max dystopian future. There are no rules and this helps us cope with the rules we dislike in our society. The result is an entertaining pressure release because we know this Mad Max world is not in our future.

    The second aspect we like about the dystopian future is to compare this horrible future world to our own. For example, we might think, Meatloaf again? Well, that is not as bad as when Mad Max was grateful to eat a can of dog food. This terrible future reminds us how good our present lives are.

    The only problem with dystopian future stories is that the envisioned grim future does not come true. However, it sometimes inspires readers to panic over what they think might happen. For example, The Walking Dead inspired MANY people to buy guns.

    When writers attempt to predict the future, the results are lofty and creative. If we rewind back to the ‘50s, many writers predicted that in the ‘80s, there would be flying atomic powered cars, robots walking among us, space travel, oppressive governments and nuclear wars. Obviously, none of these basic predictions came true. Of course, there were more realistic (conservative) writers that did a much better job of predicting the future, such as Arthur C. Clarke and Isaac Asimov. Their stories predicted satellite communication and realistic computers.

    Another aspect of the dystopian future aspect is the oppressive society. For example, the George Orwell book 1984, written in 1949. It predicted a tightly controlled state watches everybody. Any crime gets instantly detected and the people are severally punished. Many people have said that this dystopian future is here today. The point out that there are millions of security cameras along with millions of computers that automatically monitor our everyday activities. In addition, they point out an effective criminal system that uses technology such as DNA, resulting in an unfair trial.

    I do not disagree that there is an abundance of cameras, spying computers and unfair trials. However, our present is not even close to the dystopian future that George Orwell predicted. Only a few cameras are actively monitored and the rest are recorded images only reviewed after a crime has occurred. Has the abundance of cameras stopped crime and improved our world? Arguably, yes. Has it taken away some of our privacy? Yes.

    As for the computers monitoring our every move? Yes, there are sophisticated computers automatically monitoring us. Are big government organizations monitoring me? Yes, but the government does not have the resources to prosecute petty crimes.

    The fundamental goal (for normal people) of computer monitoring is advertising and better marketing. (Do I really know what I am talking about? Check out the now denied patents 09/589,552 and 13/507,371) Is this computer monitoring wrong? Ya, probably. What effect does it have on me and my blog readers personally? I buy more stuff. Some of that stuff improves my life and some of it is junk.

    Are computers listening to my phone conversations? Technically yes, actually no. Are my rights being violated by computers? Ya, probably. What is the worst aspect of this dreadful violation? The worst (in my opinion) is when criminals use hacking for identity theft. Do I like it? I have been the victim of identity theft several times and I should shoot the people that perpetrate this crime without trial. Why? When they took on my identity and, they lost their own identity so technically they did not exist. Will my punishment ever occur? Absolutely not. What does this have to do with government and society? Not much. Identity theft is just a new way for criminals to operate. People will always look for short cuts and identity theft is the new shortcut.

    What about AI? Will it destroy us all? It’s very unlikely. Computers are programmed by people and people still want to live peaceful lives. If we rewind back to the ‘50s there was a big scare with robots and computers. Robots first entered the factories and started taking the jobs from welders. What percentage of the factory did they take? Up to 1%. How about today? Now robots may have taken up to 1-80% of certain assembly line jobs. But that is misleading. Who builds and maintains the robots? People. Robots have just moved the jobs around.

    Computers in the ‘50s took away jobs from people that worked with mechanical calculators. Today, computers take away jobs like, supermarket cashiers, bank tellers, newspaper printers/paperboys and record/tape/CD manufactures. However, like the factory robots, these jobs just got moved around to places like Facebook and Google. The overall result is that computers have permanently taken some jobs away. One could just as easily argue that increased government regulation, taxes, economic changes and worldwide labor shifts (jobs moving to different countries) are far more responsible for job loss than AI, robots or computers.

    What about the oppression of the poor and disadvantaged? People will always be taken advantage of and this has been going on since before even writers could put words on a printed page. The good news is that the poor and disadvantaged now have many more options, including legal help and excellent educations (scholarships).

    Dystopian future writers have envisioned a world where the poor and disadvantaged rise against “the man” and overthrow society into chaos. I would argue that this is actually occurring, but in a different form. The poor and disadvantaged are able to vote. It also turns out that they can use the internet/media to organize/publicize their opinions. It also turns out that people can use internet/media in countries that you cannot vote to change the government and society. So, the revolution has been going on for a long time with significant results.

    The point of this blog is that the dystopian future predictions that these ‘50s writers completely failed to predict the present. Now let’s look at some things that happened. There have been horrific events since the ‘50s that have deeply disrupted our lives. This included wars, natural disasters, manmade disasters, terrorist attacks, and great social shifts because of technology.

    For example, the horrific 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. This dreadful natural disaster was so big that it actually changed the maps of Japan. After the horrific incident, the proud people of Japan mourned their losses, cleaned up, rebuilt, learned some lessons and got on with their lives.

    The people of Japan did not turn their country into anarchy like The Walking Dead where everybody killed to survive. Their society naturally dwelled on getting back to a peaceful existence. Why did their society not turn into anarchy? The people of Japan wanted a peaceful society. They enjoyed having safe streets, clean water and their children going to school. This horrific situation is a great example of how all the makings of a dystopian future were present and yet the people went far out of their way to make sure that they went back to a peaceful, boring existence.

    Our world is going to have wars (as I write this, North Korea looks like they might even start a nuclear war) and epic world changing natural disasters such as, super volcanos, comet impacts and plagues. Like Covid! Humans are survivors and it is in our core values to get through the bad times. It won’t be easy and there will be significant losses. However, it is in our “human” nature to return to a peaceful, boring existence. When the next tragic event occurs, we will tough it out and get back to the way we are now.

    There is a natural drive within humans to live boring lives and that’s just fine. I like boring! There will always be writers that write about the dystopian future and that is also fine. I like the Walking Dead and never miss an episode. We like stories that have excitement/drama/conflict and therefore the dystopian future stories were invented.

    However, we must keep the concept of the dystopian future in check. These dystopian future stories are farfetched, and the predictions will not come true. If you watch an episode of the Walking Dead and decide to build an underground survival shelter, reconsider your motives. History simply does not support that kind of possibility.

    My point is that we are presently living in the dystopian future predicted in the ‘50s and our present life is not that bad. No robots breaking down my doors! But  I hope that my readers do not feel that I am whining about dystopian future works. There are plenty of specific examples of fictional dystopian futures that did indeed come true and I enjoy reading/watching dystopian future stories. I even have an idea for a dystopian future novel, that I might write. Stay tuned!

    Now for the important part. BUY MY BOOK. PLEASE!!! MY CHECKBOOK IS LONELY! MY BOOK IS ONLY $2.99 ON AMAZON!!! Putting a review online will help me out even more.

    You’re the best -Bill

Assorted Eli Clark Headcannons

These aren't romantic, I just like his character rand think he’s neat.

cut for length

-He seems like a very soft spoken kind of dude. He has a very steady moral compass and is a balance between introverted and extroverted. Like a mom friend. 

-But he's got old man energy so he's the group's collective grandpa. 

-I feel like he'd be the type to ask if you want to talk about it if he sees you struggling with something.

-If it involves another survivor, he's even open to be a meditator for the two of you.

-People take him up on this a lot. So it leads to the gossip of the house perking up whenever they hear Eli is looking for someone.

-Don't worry, you aren't being followed. Brooke is keeping a very close eye on the surroundings, and he'd even have it take place in his room. Just to make sure no one is watching.

-He has heavy taste for jazz music and when it picks up in tempo hell say it, "goes hard"

-Lucky showed him some 80s tracks and they're either hits or misses He's a sucker for sound design. 

-Brooke is his eyes yes, but when he sends her out he's left with just his ears.  Ideally he'd like to have someone he trusts with him. But he knows he won't always have that. But hey, he can dream. Cant he?

-I feel like when there's group movie night he'd watch the film with everyone.  Group movie days are fun because of the commentary everyone brings.  Like. They'll pause it just to go off on character design and shit. Maybe sing along to some of the songs. Yell at the characters. 

-Just group movie things.

-100% Eli has taken the time to find some of the OSTs from the movie. And when Brooke is asleep he'll just reach over on the nightstand by his bed and listen to them. Recalling all the fun times they had.

-In times like this, it's what I’d relate to closing your eyes and imagining you're there again

-This man cannot make an insult to save his life.

-He just feels so bad about it.

-He absolutely isolates himself in the beginning when he first gets to the manor. He played heavily into the brooding loner type.

-The edgy mystery type.

-The don't fuck around with me type.

-But that's because he doesn't want to make the same mistake twice.

-He has very heavy protective urges when he cares about people. He wants to keep them safe and well and happy. And those motivations, those parts of him are what got him into this death game in the first place. But oh dear god

-Once those walls break down, he goes off running.  He jumps through every hoop he has to in order to make sure his friends are safe.

-He has a soft spot for animals  (See Brooke. And I imagine before he met Brooke he had a cat. 

-If you ask him about it, depending on how long he'd been in the manor you get 2 different options.

-1) forming bonds with animals is an extensive process which i utilize. It's only fitting that I started young.

-2) oh, cats make great company. And i like how soft they are. :)

-100% people will try to dress Brooke up in little outfits. And she hates it. So when he wakes up and Brooke is just spazzing out, he is absolutely panicking trying to figure out what's wrong with her.

-She cant fly? She's moving erratically? What could it be?

-He goes to pick her up and feels some fabric. 

-Did someone tie her up maybe?

-Only to hold her up in front of the mirror and see her in a little outfit.

-He'd have to work hard to stifle laughter. But at least it wasn't something serious.

-If you’ve read The Outsider’s you’ll know what I mean when I say Eli doesn’t lock his door. 

-He has little material possessions except what he uses on a day to day basis.

 -Maybe the scattered card Emma made or the letter opener he got from Victor.

 -Oh, and the tape recorder on his nightstand. :)

-(Eli and Victor are pen pals and take pride in writing to the other survivors.)

-He has nothing really to steal so he has nothing really to worry about.

-He tells it to anyone he sees having a breakdown or someone who just needs a quiet place to go to his room.

-But even if some of his stuff goes missing or a prank gets pulled on him.

-It's never going to mean as much to him as it would helping out someone who needs it desperately.

-He has a soft spot for egg salad sandwiches

-If anyone is really sad, and he's run out of wisdom to give. I imagine he'd just ask them if they want to see something he found endearing he saw in a book.

-And if they say yes, he’s going to smile so fucking hard as he has Brooke sit on his lap or some other perch and just

@pasttorn inquired: [ dress ] from the nsfw muse reaction prompt for jose & eli tho ,, , ,  eli in lingerie fuck yeah

NSFW Muse Reaction Prompts // Accepting [ dress ]   your muse having mine dress up in lingerie.

          As Eli slips into the lacy dress that completes the set of lingerie given to him, he remembers how Jose presented the idea to him. He remembers the way the older man ran his hands along his soft curves, describing how he’d eventually peel whatever lacy fabric he chose off of him only after he traced & mapped his body thoroughly through the sheer material. So with a promise like that (as well as what would come afterward), Eli just couldn’t resist, just HAD to indulge & take the suggestion offered to him. Of course, it had to be the best or nothing at all, too— so he went to Vera, asking her for her help & input on just what to wear for Jose (not that the other women in the manor couldn’t be trusted for such aid, but Vera’s taste is exquisite & top-notch, so he figured she would be the best bet). Had he expected to be made to try on several different sets that she apparently never had a use for & then given each of them anyway? Certainly not, but he’s grateful. She’d even told him which one she really recommended he wear for the night, a short white dress, sheer with long bell sleeves hanging off the shoulders & a scalloped hem, complete with matching lacy panties. Of course, Eli can’t see these details for himself, but he could FEEL them, & Vera’s description alone when she’d presented the set to him was more than enough. He knew it was the best choice out of all those he’d been gifted with, & he was more than thankful.

          Still, once he has them on (even discarding his usual blindfold just so it wouldn’t clash with the outfit), he can’t help but feel a bit nervous. Will this be to Jose’s tastes? Will it live up to what he had in mind for the seer? Will it— will HE— be good enough? Perhaps it’s foolish to start questioning it now, but he can’t seem to stop himself. Ah, but then again, Jose IS still waiting patiently outside. No point in putting it off or turning back now. It would just keep him waiting for that which he so politely requested to see.

          So he musters up the courage & finally exits the bathroom, careful in his steps but still miraculously managing to maintain some semblance of confidence. As he reaches the edge of the bed where he knows Jose waits, Eli slowly stretches his hand out, finding the man’s shoulder with the one before the other settles on the opposite shoulder, guiding himself into perching upon his lap with knees on either side of the other’s hips. A small smile, timid & shy despite appearances, is offered as his hands then travel to Jose’s own, guiding them to his hips to prompt him to give the expensive fabric (and Eli himself, of course) a feel, a sign of APPROVAL for what he’d chosen for him.

          “Is this suited to your tastes, Officer Baden?” he purrs into his ear, lips barely grazing the shell of it as his own cheeks dust a light shade of pink. Legs spreading a little wider, Eli gives an experimental roll of his hips, pressing against his groin & shivering at the stimulation to his clit. He isn’t wet just yet, but he can feel himself starting to get there just from having Jose’s eyes & hands on him. Already it begins to dispel that nervousness he felt only moments before— though of course he still eagerly awaits the confirmation from the man himself. That much is simply NATURAL, because Eli is nothing if not eager to please.

          “I have others I can put on for you if this one doesn’t strike your fancy,” the younger hums regardless, lips trailing down to the other man’s neck while his hands slide up his arms & to his chest. All of it is kept feather-light, meant only to tease just as much as he figures Jose intends to. Which Eli doesn’t mind in the slightest— in fact he rather loves the tease, because he knows that ultimately Jose will still take care of him just as well as Eli will in return. All in good fun, after all.

          “Or would you have me try each of them one of them on and put on a show for you? If that’s what you desire, I’m happy to oblige. Whatever you like— your wish is my command.”
