I really really love the language both Misha and Jensen have been using re: the "confession"
Like Misha repeatedly stating "homosexual declaration of love"
declaration: a formal or explicit statement or announcement. announcement. proclamation.
It's just, stating something, making it known.
Then there's Jensen correcting himself from saying "confession" to "testament"
Jensen: "he gave a confess- or he gave his - his testament"
testament: something that serves as a sign or evidence of a specified fact, event, or quality. a tangible proof or tribute. an expression of conviction. creed. attestation. related to testimony: a solemn declaration. an open acknowledgment.
These words are more neutral / positive statements than "confession." Cas's feelings just are, and he is declaring them proudly, attesting** to them. Speaking his truth. Whereas "confession" connotes shame.
confession:
a formal statement admitting that one is guilty of a crime.
an admission or acknowledgment that one has done something that one is ashamed or embarrassed about.
a formal admission of one's sins with repentance and desire of absolution
All of these imply that something about what is "confessed" is shameful, embarrassing, sinful. There's guilt associated with the "confessed" thing, and that's not what Cas felt in the moment of his True Happiness.
In that moment he felt proud, he felt elated to finally declare his feelings, and also in his speech to Dean, which imo is a big part of Cas's happiness, getting to tell Dean how he sees him, how many actually see him, as a being of love, as someone who is always trying and fighting for others. as someone who loves so fiercely and strongly that he taught Cas how to love in this way too. And none of those feelings are shameful, he's proud to tell Dean these things. He's happy to finally get to say them.
So I really like the language they're personally using when talking about this scene. It's really not a confession. Cas's love isn't some secret, shameful thing. In that moment all those feelings burn brightly, happily in him. In that moment he is making his solemn declaration to Dean about his feelings and all the things about Dean that he loves, openly acknowledging what has sat quietly between them for years, not hidden, not shameful, just unspoken.
**to show, say, or prove that something exists or is true

request- hanging out with your two best buds spencer and penelope and watching lady and the tramp
or could be just with spencer
i just love seeing them together and need to hang out with both of them. and i know they are both fans of Disney movies like c’mon it just makes sense
Tumblr media
BEST BUDS [S.R]
Penelope, spencer, and you share a nice night at penelope’s watching Disney classics with spaghetti
spencer reid x gn!reader ][ fluff drabble ][ 0.6k ][ masterlist!!
a/n- MAY ILYSM FOR THIS REQUEST!! its a drabble not a full fic but oh well lol
Tumblr media
“Spencer pass the cheese!” Penelope's many bracelets jingling on her wrist could be heard as she reached out for Spencer to hand the cheese to her. 
When Spencer placed the bag in her hand she shook it onto her bowl of spaghetti. There was now a little pile of white parmesan cheese on top of her spaghetti. 
Penelope leaned against one end of the couch wearing her Mickey headband while you and Spencer cuddled up on the other end for best buds night as Penelope so lovingly called it. The name hadn’t changed even when you and Spencer got together a few months ago.
They usually happened whenever there was the time for one, which wasn’t often. This made them special. Special meant Penelope often got very excited at the prospect of a best buds night. 
Tonight she had decided to make spaghetti to go with their viewing of The Lady And The Tramp. Ever since you had discovered Spencer's secret love of old disney movies, both you and penelope insisted on watching his old favorites.
Penelope had heard about this from Spencer when she saw him blushing at texts, and being the guy who never normally even takes a second glance at his phone unless it's work related. Of course, Penelope being the lover of matchmaking insisted on knowing what Spencer was looking at.
Said previous events led to the three being cozied up on the couch with the light of the movie illuminating Penelope's otherwise dark apartment. The old style music and animations brought back memories from Spencer's childhood. 
“You know my mom used to play this for me a lot” Spencer spoke with a fond smile, and you could almost see the memories flickering like old film behind his eyes. You smiled up at your boyfriend from his shoulder. You placed a small kiss on his growing stubble. 
ever so often, either penelope, you, or Spencer would make a comment (though most of them were spencers). Spencer usually said something about how the animation was done, or a historical inaccuracy. “You know that architecture is quite unrealistic for supposedly the early 1900s- are you guys seeing this brickwork?” he would call out, only earning a giggle from the others. 
When Penelope made a comment it was usually along the lines of “ahhhh!!! look at these two cutie pies!!” and other phrases in the same vein. Her excitement was at its peak in the classic spaghetti sharing scene. there had been lots of penelope screams/yelps of joy. 
You preferred to stay quiet, leaving a sentence hanging in the air every once in a while. But you found more pleasure in listening to your two best friends.
The more the night wore on, the more the warm bowl of spaghetti in your stomach and the soft sound of Spencer's heartbeat lulled you into a drowsy state against his chest. His warmth radiated into your soul, allowing a blanket of peace to roll over you as the movie's credits started to play. ‘’
Spencer looked down to find you asleep on his chest, and his second thought after how adorable you were- was how was he going to bring himself to wake you up and go home for the night. 
Then again, Spencer noticed someone asleep. Penelope had her head rested against the couch and an empty bowl still in her hands. She also sported a small squishmallow of a unicorn at her side. with her eyes closed you could see the eyeshadow she hadn’t had the thought to take off yet.
And as spencer looked at his two best friends, and then back to the tv with the credits still rolling, he wondered how he got so lucky.

i see a lot of people praising george and jayden (which, fair, they did amazing) but can we take a minute to praise yuyu kitamura (played niko), kassius nelson (played crystal), ruth connell (played night nurse), jenn lyon (played esther), joshua colley (played monty), lucas gage (played TCK/thomas), briana cuoco (played jenny), david iacono (played david), etc? i especially haven't seen any praise for gabriel drake, who played simon and absolutely nailed it and crushed so many of our hearts with the question simon asks edwin. i see so many people talking about it but not a lot of praise for these tough scenes. so many of these actors haven't had roles up until now and i think the casting is fantastic in that regard, but i'd love to see some praise for the smaller roles as well. get these people some other roles by praising them !!

ppl please. You are making Vaggie stupider than she is in canon
"Why didn't Vaggie know angel weapons could kill angels, when Lute used one to permanently gouge out her eye-"
Because Lute also ripped off her wings, seemingly permanently, WITHOUT using a weapon.
It makes sense that Vaggie would figure only other ANGELS can HURT angels. And that's still not the same as KILLING ONE.
You can say "well if she was scarred then by it then she should've assumed a real attack could have killed her" but why? In hell, Sinners can be TORN APART and pull themselves back together. Why wouldn't Vaggie assume that she can take damage up to a point but still not die? Or that she would just reform again afterwards?
"It was a writing mistake to have Vaggie not confess her past to Charlie before they went to heaven, no believable character would do that-"
It was a character flaw, one many other characters in the show have, and it is very true to life that longer you keep a secret about yourself- especially one you're afraid people will hate you for- the harder it is to admit to it.
We know she feels like her only point in existing is to help Charlie. She said it. And later it ties in perfectly with her backstory of losing everything about herself and being found by Charlie, of rejecting her life killing Sinners and devoting herself to supporting the dream of saving them instead.
We also know the last time she "failed" people in her life she was hurt and abandoned by them. We know her FIRST plan was to NOT go to heaven with Charlie, to try and make some kind of excuse.
But then she couldn't come up with a good excuse. And she couldn't bring herself to say no to her supportive and loving girlfriend. And then they were in heaven, facing a COURT HEARING to decide the fate of SOULS, that her girlfriend would have to argue a case for-
Does that really sound like the best time to drop an emotional relationship truth bomb?
Sound. Not "was". Would it have FELT LIKE a good time to come clean to Charlie about being a former Exorcist.
HOW would it have FELT like a good time for that to Vaggie? Especially after Adam and Lute got through telling her how being scarred and crippled by them was her fault, being left down in hell by them was her fault, and her girlfriend will ALSO hate her if the truth comes out?
THIS IS A SHOW. ABOUT PEOPLE. WHO MAKE CRAPPY SELF-SABOTAGING CHOICES (look at Angel Dust) AND THEN HAVE TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO WITH THE FALL OUT OF THaT
THATS THE SHOW
THATS. THE POINT OF THE HAZBIN HOTEL
it's not "bad writing" when a WOMAN does it TOO without an essay explaining her every thought leading up to it!
like im sorry her scenes were rushed, im sorry they had worse animation and story boarding and pacing than the guys' moments get, im sorry she didn't get more focus, im sorry she isn't a fav character of the show creators-
but she IS well written. tbh all of the characters in the show are.
they do things that makes sense based on what they've been through, and what they feel, and what they want, and that's. that's good character writing.
i don't LIKE a lot of the characters but they're still WELL WRITTEN
I HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT VAGGIE- BUT ONLY BECAUSE IM OBESSEED WITH HER AND WANT TO CRAWL INSIDE HER SKULL! SHE IS, IN THE SHOW, A PERFECTLY BELIEVABLE CHARACTER
bad writing would have been- her getting angry at Charlie for being upset about the secret! it would've been her CAVING to Adam's blackmail and arguing against Angel Dust to save herself! It would've been her moping on the top of the hotel while Charlie was angry with her instead of actively doing what she could to help, like she did!
i've lived through SO MANY badly written characters DO NOT try telling me VAGGIE is one of them- i remember the horrors. THIS is not THAT
......anyway
im probably gonna regret posting this aren't i

Ed has been treated so, so terribly.
His gravy basket dream in The Innkeeper is the best, most unfiltered look we get into how Ed sees himself and the world around him, and I always think about how he wakes up, vulnerable and obviously in severe pain, and he's so scared. One of the first things he asks is what Hornigold did to him when he was out - and he doesn't even phrase it as "did you do anything to me," it's "what did you do to me," his main concern is checking to make sure it wasn't "anything weird." Like, he was helpless and vulnerable and he takes it as a given that anyone who found him would've done something to him.
And it's a funny scene when Hornigold tries to get him to eat that soup but come on he's so fucking scared. He cannot possibly conceive of a reality where someone would offer him a kindness like feeding him when he was hurt and it wouldn't be to cover up an ulterior sinister motive.
His baseline assumption is that other people are going to hurt him. They're going to take advantage of him, exploit him, abuse him, hurt him just to hurt him. And, what's worse, he thinks he deserves to be treated like this. He engineered his suicide attempt to be painful and brutal. He told Izzy that he should apologize instead. He thinks of himself as a monster who deserves to be punished.
He's safe now. He's so happy and safe and he knows that there are so many people who love him and want him to be well. Stede's going to feed him soup when he's sick and kiss any little injuries better, and he's going to know he's safe and he won't even think twice about accepting that care. But damn.

If there’s one thing I’m annoyed about is people calling Buck/Tommy shippers fetishizers because sure there’s probably some people being weird about it. But pot calling kettle buck and Eddie can’t breath near each other without someone saying it means something. Which is such a shame because I adore their dynamic, they’re so good for each other even with it being purely platonic. People also forget you can love someone platonically, it doesn’t have to be romantic.
Like yes most of what people are talking about are the kisses because they came with the main plot points of Buck’s story this season, Buck realizing hes Bi, kiss, Buck coming out to his friends and family, kiss. And I’m craving to see more of their dynamic on screen. I want to see them just existing in the space around each other showing how they’re just comfortable being in each others presence. I want the soft and quiet moments where they’re wordlessly comforting each other. Stuff like that.
And I’m tired of people saying “they’ve only been on two dates, it’s not that deep. It’s no where near as deep as Buck and Eddie’s relationship”. Well newsflash Eddie’s not a love interest, yes they have a deep connection but as of now it’s purely platonic.
I just want to enjoy this, Buck finally being happy for once and comfortable with his relationship. I want to see it grow into a well fleshed out romance, I want to see their dynamic grow and change and get stronger. Things take time and they don’t have that this season. And I’m tired of people being intentional ignorant to facts like that.
pretty much everything they say just makes me laugh, except the calling me a fetishist, which makes me go from 0 to enraged like that, especially coming from what is essentially children (many of whom I doubt are actually queer themselves, based on the harmful storylines they want to happen), who in the same breath say eddie pouring champagne into buck's mouth is basically a cumshot

we are allowed to speculate on both pg and explicit scenes for them, if that's a problem, maybe the show is too mature for these ppl. may I suggest blue's clues?
they're so stuck in fanfic world, where everything is a slowburn, all-consuming epic love, that they can't comprehend that ppl can just? date? and get to know each other? you don't have to already be in love to go out with someone, you can just fancy them. in fact, that's how most of the world works. really worried for their ideas of relationships
anyway, considering these ppl try and claim that buck looked "confused" by bobby's approval, ignoring the clear smile on his face, I don't even think we're watching the same show. I am looking forward to their relationship growing, and all the good and bad that comes with it

Hello!
I'm glad you're back! I love this community, it has done wonders to my relationship to writing and reading. There's something I wanted to ask of you and the community of this blog for a while. We all talk about 2 cakes in writing and I still think that's kind of a genius post, however… what about art? I'm a fanartist and I barely browse the fanart of my own fandoms because I'm scared I'll see something very similar to what I'm (still) working on and then I'll just ditch mine in fear. I'm sure I'll eventually draw something that's been done before (without my knowledge) and people are quick to jump on that. What are your thoughts, how do I deal with this? Thank you!
hi! I'm a big fan of this community too, and I'm glad to hear it's been a good place for you 💖
I definitely think that the two cakes post also applies to fanart. If I love a character or a scene or a part of a world, I want to see as much of it as I can in as many iterations as I can. Blorbo is my sustenance, and I'm a hungry-ass bitch.
As for you avoiding looking at art in your own fandoms? That's a totally normal thing to do. Plenty of fic authors don't read fics in the fandoms they write for, and I'm sure other artists don't look at fanart in the fandoms they create for.
Some people do it because they don't want to accidentally "copy." Some people do it because they don't want to end up in a comparison spiral. Some people do it because the inspiration in their brain is so loud that they have to spend all their time creating and they don't have time to catch up on everything else that everyone else is making (at least, not right now. There's always periods of less inspiration when they can seek out everything they missed before).
The thing I think you need to focus on from your message is the fear you feel that makes you want to stop working on your own art. Where is that fear coming from? Are you worried about being accused of something by fellow fans? Are you worried that your art won't be as good as someone else's? Are you worried that someone else making something similar to you means that you aren't actually creative in some way? Is there some other reason entirely that makes you feel that way?
If looking at the art in fandoms you create for isn't something you want to do, that's not a problem. If it is something you want to do and you're stopping yourself because of that fear, then you'll want to figure out what that fear is and how to address it.
I'd love to hear thoughts on this from other fanartists! Can you give anon some advice?

DIRTY LITTLE HEART While on vacation with all the old Boston friends, one of Chris' best friends walks in on him while he is showering. She wickedly watches him, but there is a twist... Warning: 18+ Smut, Fucking, P in V, masturbation, oral, cream-pie, squirt, cocksure Chris! Etc, CHRIS X OC Notes: Listened to Meg Meyers ''desire''. I loved writing this and I hope you enjoy it too.
A DIRTY LITTLE HEART It was going to happen. It was bound to happen.
Harlee walked to the bathroom, her head bopping up and down to the music floating through her earbuds into her ears. Her feet silently sank into the plush grey-fitted carpet extending throughout the long hallway. She was thinking of nothing but the lyrics and getting into a cool shower as she clutched her fresh clothing and white fluffy towel to her chest.
The triplets, Harlee, and their friends in Boston decided to club together and rent a holiday home for the summer vacation. It was an easy decision because they were a tight-knit group who got along without any hitches. Loyal, trustworthy friends who respected each other through and through. They had a plethora of things to do and places to visit making Florida the perfect destination. The house they had hired was on the luxurious side of the scale, with enough bedrooms for each of them that had spacious rooms and though it lacked just as many bathrooms, it did have one bathroom that resembled a mini spa. It didn’t bother anyone and they assumed the owners thought the mini spa-like bathroom made up for it.
The bathroom light was on, throwing a thin beam of light under the door crack, and the door was closed, but not latched. She didn’t pay mind because with a house filled with people, someone probably mistakenly left the light on. The door, after all, had not been latched, and it was also past midnight so, she assumed everyone had gone to bed. Harlee pushed the door open with her foot - just enough for her to slip into the bathroom. The contrast of the bright white bathroom light to the dark hallway, had her squeezing her eyes shut for a few seconds, before opening them to a scene in front of her that she would never forget.
Her eyes first fell on the clothes haphazardly strewn on the floor, and it was at that very second, when she recognised the clothing, that she should have fled the bathroom. Her brain was screaming at her to leave – this was one of her best friends! Yet her heart, her heart…was telling her something completely different. Her body? Her body refused to listen to either her brain or heart. Fuck the brain and the heart! Her body wanted… him.
Her eyes moved over the grey shorts she loved seeing him in so much, then over the black t-shirt with ‘pirate girl’ written on it, which she also loved on him, especially since he took scissors to them and cut the sleeves off. Then there were the black underpants, then his socks and shoes. She wanted to giggle because she could tell exactly what order he took everything off as he walked to the shower. She, herself was more of a pile everything on top of each other, and put her shoes neatly together to one side. Chris though, was a discarder – he haphazardly discarded his clothes and shoes. She knew he had kicked his shoes off because one was upright, next to his shorts, while the other, lay on its side on the blue and white bathmat in front of the tub.
She swallowed hard as her eyes lifted slowly to the shower. It was mid-summer; a heat wave was rolling across the country and they were right in the midst of it, so, everyone was having cold showers instead of hot…which meant there was absolutely no steam to fog the clear glass shower door.
Her eyes trailed up his legs and stopped on his superior ass that caused her to audibly gasp. She knew he would have a nice ass, but this?! Fucking-fantastic! Could she bounce a coin off of it? Most certainly yes. Did she want to smack it? Oh, hell yes! She immediately lifted a hand to her mouth and cupped it, as she curled her bottom lip between her lips. In a huge bathroom with nothing much to absorb sound, a needle dropping would bounce off the tiled walls. She also closed her eyes for a second waiting for Chris to start yelling at her and ask her what the hell she thought she was doing. However, there was nothing except the music playing in her ears. She couldn’t even hear the sound of the water raining down on him. She slowly opened one eye, peeping through it to see if Chris was standing with a towel around himself yelling at her, but he was still under the cool shower. But he had turned 60 degrees… towards her!
‘Fuck’ she silently screamed, and her eyes immediately searched Chris’ face to see if he was any the wiser that she was there, but his eyes were firmly closed as he tilted his head back and lifted his face up to the water. She inhaled the feint scent of his masculine body wash and shampoo as her eyes ran over his naked body. Her eyes lingered on his chest, stomach, and V line before her eyes fell onto his perfect…very perfect dick. She heard herself squeak as she bit her bottom lip harder. The damn music in her ears along with the sight of Chris made every nerve in her body tingle in pure bliss. His dick was so solid and rock hard, - she was sure if he tapped her pussy with it, she would break in half. It was long, thick, and straight, oh lordy, it was so straight, jutting up, begging to be held, to be stroked, to be relieved of the pressure. As Chris brought his hand down from wiping water off his face, to curl his palm, and those long, idyllic, superb fingers around his thick shaft, Harlee pulled her hand away from her mouth and yanked her earbuds out just as Chris let out a throaty moan.
Holy shit! She actually started shaking at how he moaned, as she pushed her earbuds into her shorts pocket, but one of her earbuds got hooked on the lip of the pocket and somehow bounced into the air. Shit. She really didn’t want that to be the reason he was alerted to her presence. Her wicked presence. She quickly dipped her hand below the earbud that clearly thought it was a time to be free-spirited and caught it with a silent sigh of relief. Chris groaned again and Harlee looked at him, pushing the earbuds back, deep into her pocket. She watched as he firmly grasped his erection in his fist pumping with great fervour as the most sublime, toe-curling, moans and groans emanated from him. It took all of Harlee's willpower to not drop her belongings and begin to touch herself.
As she watched him with attentive eyes, she knew he was getting close. She was going to have to time it perfectly so she see him cum and leave just before he finished…though, she desperately wanted to watch the whole show. Chris’s other hand lifted and he placed his palm against the smokey grey tiles, his chest rising and falling at a faster rate than it was. He dropped his head slightly, and the most enthralling, pleasurable moan that escaped him sent a shiver up Harlee’s spine. His knees buckled slightly and his hand almost became a blur as he said ‘’Fuuuckk,’’ and tilted his head back. Harlee unconsciously licked her lips as she watched his cum flying through the air.
Some hit the wall, while some landed on the floor and she was surprised at how much he had cum and was still cumming when she spun around on her spot and quietly left the bathroom, thinking what a waste of his cum that was, when it could have been in one of her many holes or, on her. The thought of it actually swirling down the drain with the water left her feeling somewhat somber. Harlee leaned against the wall just outside the bathroom, breathing heavily herself from a mixture of anticipation, thrills, lust, and adrenaline. Her heart was beating fast and she had a fine sheet of perspiration on her skin. She sucked in a breath, knowing that above all the mixed emotions coursing through her veins, she was breathing that heavily because she had secretly loved Chris for a long time.
She pushed herself away from the wall, pondering on how she fell in love with Chris. When? How? They had been friends for as long as she could recall with the Triplets, though Chris and Harlee enjoyed competing in everything and, with each other. Whether it was a basketball game, baking, or challenges, they were always the two up against each other. They loved to see who would win. They had fun, they teased each other playfully but that was where it ended. She made sure when she was around Chris, she hid and buried her feelings so no one, especially him, could see how she really felt about him. She thought she did, anyway.
After she had padded back to her room, a few doors down from the bathroom, she stopped in front of her bedroom door and swung her head in the direction of the bathroom, realizing that there wasn’t a how or when she fell in love. She just fell in love with the boy who turned into a man over the years, and it wasn’t that he was just good-looking, or because he made her laugh, it was everything about him. She loved everything about him.
A guilt that had been seeded in the pit of her stomach as soon as she knew Chris was in the bathroom had suddenly sprouted and the guilt seemed to vine its way through her with every passing second. She let out a deep, audible sigh and turned back around. She had no idea what she was going to say to Chris but she knew she would figure it out. She bit her bottom lip thinking she couldn’t possibly say ‘’hey Chris I walked into the bathroom and watched you rub one out. Sorry.’’ First of all, she wasn’t sorry. She wasn’t sorry at all. Second of all, it could ruin their friendship. Deep in thought and focused on what she was going say, she walked back to the bathroom and pushed the door open.
There, facing her was Chris. Naked. His towel just leaving his fingers tips as he dropped it to the floor beside himself. Why was he not dressed yet? She had expected him to be dressed, maybe brushing his teeth. The faint smell of mint clinging to the air told her he had brushed his teeth before getting dressed, and her breath hitched in her throat. She fucked up. So badly. Twice. She closed her eyes, squeezed them shut, and let out a shaky breath.
When she snapped her eyes open Chris was still standing in the same spot, and Harlee could only surmise that he was in shock. It bothered her that she couldn’t read his expression because Chris was a really expressive person, even in his facial features. She cleaned her throat and shifted in her spot, her eyes shifting from his eyes, down his body again. She didn’t want to, but her eyes apparently had a mind of their own. She couldn't help it. Fuck! She had the perfect, most wonderful view of his flaccid dick, right in front of her. Strangely though, Chris didn’t try and cover himself up or turn away. He knew he had a perfect dick and continued to let her gaze. Gaze? No, she was enraptured and staring. She so much wanted to revel in the pleasure of giving him a blow job. However, as hard as it was, she was able to pull her eyes off of him and turn around.
‘’I apologize, Chris,’’ she said choosing her words carefully because again, she wasn’t sorry. She just couldn't find the remorse for walking in on him, twice, and seeing his dick.
‘’Har,’’ Chris said, as she took a step to leave the bathroom. She closed her eyes, scrunching her nose up, not knowing if he was going to yell at her, or if he was going to be sweet and tell her what she did was wrong in the kindest way he could. He was going to make her feel so guilty that the guilt would ooze from every pore on her body. She would have preferred Chris yelling at her.
She took a deep breath and turned back around. Their eyes locked for a few seconds and she intended to keep it that way but her eyes were betraying her yet again. ‘SLUT!’ her brain shouted at her. She had never in her life felt her body and brain having such a tug of war. It usually worked as a whole, together in a uniform fashion but for the past half hour every part of her body was wanting and doing a different thing. It wasn't that any part of her didn't want to see him, it was her moral values bugging her - he was her best friend. She reasoned with herself that if Chris was going to yell or be sweet about it…or even end their friendship, at least she had a really good view while he did it!
Then it happened. It twitched. She saw it, it twitched! And with that one twitch, it became longer and larger. Her world came to a standstill, her eyes fixed on Chris’ dick, him standing motionless before her and her mind went to the song she was listening to earlier – ‘Desire, I’m hungry, I hope you feed me. How do you want me?’ It twitched again, and all by itself, without any help from his fingers, it began to grow on its own. And he let her watch it happen.
When it was fully erect, pointing boldly skyward, his silky smooth head and hole staring up at the ceiling, she finally lifted her eyes to meet his. She found him intently staring at her, studying her, a very small smile playing on his lips. The corners of his mouth turned up ever so slightly. She blinked at him, thinking his recovery time was astonishing – he had only just cum and it was plenty. She opened her mouth and closed it again, only to open it again but all that came out was squeak. Chris let out a short laugh and she quickly cleared her throat.
‘’Wow,’’ was all she could manage to muster up and this time he smiled. A big, broad smile that could melt her heart and make her legs go weak at times, but she could tell behind his eyes, his mind was working overtime. She could always tell when he was deep in thought because he got a far away look and she could almost hear the cogs turning in his head.
Thinking she should leave him alone, she turned and took a few steps and just when her foot touched the carpet in the hallway, he said:
‘’You’re just gonna pull the trigger and walk away? Did you enjoy enjoy the show?’’ Chris asked in a low, sexy voice that made her shiver and stop in her tracks. She looked over her shoulder at him.
‘’How did you know?’’ she asked, feeling her cheeks grow hot, as she turned back around
Chris smiled and picked the towel up that was laying on the floor and put it around his waist, his still hard dick tenting it. He then grabbed his belongings off the floor and stood up straight.
‘’It’s your birthday in a few days…that perfume you use always smells so nice. Subtle but potent at the same time. I smell it all day on you too, so it must be good quality. What’s it called, so I can get you another bottle?’’ he asked as he walked towards her
She gave him a confused look and mumbled, ‘’Jo Malone. Blue suede and peony.’’
‘’Mmmm,’’ he said, side stepping her to get out the door, ‘’I can always tell when you’ve come into a room. It just smells so fucking good.’’
Harlee's mouth fell open and she let out a sigh as she picked a foot up off the cool tiles slightly and stomped it back down. FUCK! He knew she was there all the time and he didn’t once let on that he knew. He jacked off, knowing she was there. She felt like a jackass, but was she sorry? Nope, still not.
Chris laughed, ‘’enjoy your shower Harl's,’’ he said as he walked out the bathroom.
‘’You won’t win, Chris. Just because you knew -’’ she was saying but Chris cut her off
‘’Oh, Harlee, I’ve already won,’’ he said and closed the door cutting the conversation off.
Harlee huffed and threw her belongings on the basin counter. She looked into the huge mirror before her and smiled – at least he wasn’t pissed off at her. In all intents and purposes, she felt like she was the one who won; she was the one who got to see him naked, to see the hottest, most arousing thing she had ever seen when he had masturbated. She would never tell him that though. As she stared at herself, her smile started to disappear and a frown took its place…why did he think he won? ---
After Harlee had washed and conditioned her hair, she scrubbed her body with a coconut body wash she loved and then shaved. She was enjoying her last moments in the shower when she looked at the tiled wall where Chris’ cum had landed but had washed away by now, showing no sign he had even been in the bathroom. She ran a hand over her face wondering if she had imagined it all? She had been out in the sun all day, soaking up the heat and rays, so maybe she was tired and fantasized about it? Chris had been so calm with the whole situation – were they going to pretend it never happened, if it did? Fuck, how was she going to do that when she had witnessed one of the most phenomenal things she had ever seen…by her best friend?
Harlee’s palms were planted firmly against the tiled wall as she lowered her head into the tepid spray of the shower. With her eyes closed, she just smiled to herself, feeling giddy. Her one hand slid down the tiles and she touched her swollen nipples, rolling them in gentle twists. She felt weightless like she was made of pure sensation. The delicious warmth in her pussy seemed to radiate throughout her body. Now her hand moved down to cup her smooth mound. She raked the damp furrow with her finger, imagining it was Chris’. She had thought earlier that his fingers were ‘’idealistic’ and she thought of that word because that’s exactly what they were – ideal to slide into any pussy. Any woman who had a pulse would have wanted that because they were perfect, long, slim. Her lips parted easily as she teased herself, feeling a new flush of nectar. The pulse in her clit was already growing and she let out a moan, feeling her orgasm coming on fast and furiously. She wasn’t surprised.
She suddenly heard the familiar click of the metal magnets on the huge glass door and before she could even react, she felt a hand clasp around her wrist, then around the one on the wall. She gasped, but when she saw the hands, she found herself smiling wickedly.
‘’Not yet sweet cheeks,’’ Chris whispered in her ear and pulled both of her arms behind her back. Chris called her that every now and then, but it was always in a teasing manner, however, he was far from teasing her now. He gathered her delicate wrists together in his left hand, pinning them behind her back but slightly to the left so that he could get closer to her. His free hand slid around her waist and over her toned, flat stomach, then up her abdomen until he cupped one of her breasts. Harlee let a moan escape her as a reward when he gently but firmly squeezed it and flicked the nipple. She closed her eyes when he moved even closer to her, pushing his hard dick into the small of her back.
‘’It’s only fair that I came to watch,’’ he said into her ear again, and pushed his lips to her wet temple.
She nodded in agreement. Hell, he could have her…all of her as punishment for doing what she did.
‘’You are so…fucking gorgeous,’’ he whispered again, his lips brushing her earlobe, causing her to shiver slightly
‘’You were a naughty girl, Har,’’ he said softly, his hand running back down to her stomach and all she could do was nod in agreement again. The only logical thought she could conjure up was that her pussy was throbbing and she needed him inside of her.
‘’How long? How long have you been feeling this way towards me?’’ he asked as his fingers slid over her smooth pussy.
Harlee only let out a breath of a groan and spread her legs a fraction further to give him better access.
‘’Baby girl, how long?’’ he asked and yanked slightly on her wrists
‘’A…a long time. I don’t know where along the line I fell for you, but I did. I didn’t mean to come in here tonight, it was an accident, Chris, but I’m not sorry,’’ she said and sucked in a sharp breath when he parted her pussy lips and then slid a finger into her.
‘’I know…because I’ve felt the same way about you, and I think it’s time you knew the animal, the one that sleeps inside. The thing that adores you, and wants you and wants to fuck you,’’ he whispered.
Harlee’s eyes snapped open and she turned her head to look at Chris, tilting her head up slightly. He smiled at her and dipped his head, then pushed his lips against hers. He kissed her once, twice, to make sure she was okay with this and she let him know it was by latching onto his lips in the third kiss. She parted his lips with her own and plunged her tongue into his mouth. This time it was Chris who rewarded her with a moan. The hungry fuelled kiss was nothing short of primal desire.
Chris slipped his ring finger into her, stretching her, and causing her to gasp into the kiss.
Chris pulled from the kiss, a smirk on his face, ‘’ooo, you’re tight,’’ he said excitedly, but not really surprised. She was tiny but she was slender from all the sports she did in school and now that they were in their twenties, she worked out a lot. He loved it because she was always ready to go. Always ready to play a sport or up for anything competitive. Her competitive side made her even more appealing to him, though, he knew even if she wasn’t though, he would have still fallen for her because she was sweet, generous, and utterly gorgeous in and out. ‘’I don’t know that I’m going to fit in you.’’
‘’Make it fit,’’ she said and Chris let out a low moan
‘’Tell me who’s going to win tonight,’’ Chris asked next to her ear again as she leaned her head back against his chest. He could tell she was going to cum soon. Her walls had started fluttering around his fingers and her breathing had increased significantly.
‘’We…both…are…’’ she said with out thinking, between breaths
‘’Fuck, yes baby girl,’’ he said letting go of her wrists, and pulling his fingers out from her, but he didn’t go far; he slid them up to her small, pearly clit. His other hand slid up her back and he gathered her wet hair into his fist as he began to kiss her, placing the most delectable kisses on her soft skin. He started on her shoulder, moving to her neck.
‘’I have a deep secret,’’ he said between the kisses, as he moved around her so that he was standing in front of her, but he never stopped circling her clit. He was driving her insanely wild. The man knew what he was doing. He was applying just enough pressure and movement to keep her on edge but not enough to get her off yet.
‘’Chris…’’ she breathed
‘’It’s you. You’re my deep secret. In my fantasy you look so good with my cum all over you, inside you or dripping from your pussy. There’s spit and sweat.. I know exactly what time you go and shower, baby girl; you’re a creature of habit. Think it was coincidental I was in here? I knew if you stayed while I was showering, I won. If you stayed I knew it meant you felt the same way I feel about you. You stayed, we’re both going to win. Now cum,’’ he said and pushed just a little harder, and went a fraction faster, on her clit. Her eyes widened as she sucked in a breath.
Chris knew her well enough to know she was filling her lungs with air as her orgasm hit her to let the air out in a scream. He put his hand on the back of her head and pulled her towards his chest, burying her face against himself. Her arms flew up behind him and she grabbed his shoulders, clinging onto him as she screamed into his chest, her legs starting to shake uncontrollably as shock waves of pleasure ripped through her from her heels to her temples. Although her scream was muffled, Chris was sure the beginning of her scream had been heard throughout the house. It had echoed in the bathroom, bouncing off the tiled walls.
Chris put an arm around her waist to keep her from falling as her body shook and she rode out her orgasm. Her grip on his shoulders eventually eased up and she tilted her face up and looked at Chris with her big eyes. She bit her lip in such a seductive way, his cock twitched and he smiled at her, raising his brows.
‘’What?’’ he asked putting his fingers under her chin. He brushed his thumb over her lip making her feel like she was adored by him.
‘’That was…afuckingmazing. I’ve never cum that hard,’’ she whispered, barely audible over the sound of the water
‘’Just wait, we’re going to have so much fun but, on your knees baby. I hated being second best every time you went out with someone else,’’ he said, pushing her down as he said it.
Harlee licked her lips and smiled up at him, ‘’oh, Chris, you were never second best. Nothing happened with any of them, because they weren’t you,’’ she said and opened her mouth.
‘Fuck!’ he thought, curling his hand tighter around her hair. He let out an audible groan of pleasure as her lips met the tip of his penis. Pleasure spread throughout his groin before shooting along his entire body, causing his muscles to clench and his fist to tighten roughly in her long hair. He had closed his eyes with absolute pleasure, but they shot back open when she pulled her head back. "Fuck you taste so good!" said, her words heavy with excitement. "Use my mouth. You deserve it after letting me watch you." Harlee's words made his cock pulse with a fresh influx of blood as the adrenaline kicked in. His award-winning smile crept back to his lips as he wrapped her long hair around his right hand and gripped it tightly as he grabbed the back of her head with his left. He rocked his hips as he thrust into her mouth simultaneously and pushed her head down on himself. He let out a loud groan of pleasure when he felt the tip of his penis press against the back of her throat. The resistance was only momentary before she opened her throat and took him in. Warm, wet pressure encased his dick as he slid deeper. He kept expecting her to gag or tap out so she could take a break, but then he felt her tongue lapping at his balls.
He was just going to look down at her when there was a knock on the door, and then Nick’s voice came from the other side.
‘’Chris? You okay? We thought we heard a scream a few minutes ago,’’ Nick asked
Chris looked down at Harlee, who was looking up at him, his dick filling her little mouth, but she looked so fucking good! ‘’Do I sound like a fucking girl when I scream?’’ Chris asked and this time Harlee choked as she tried to laugh, so she pulled back.
‘’Chris? What are you doing in there? Pretty sure I’ve heard the shower running for a while now,’’ Matt asked
‘’I’m…fucking,’’ Chris said and shrugged his shoulders at Harlee
There was a brief silence before Matt spoke again, ‘’yeah….fucking himself. He is fine.’’
‘’Fuck you Matt!’’ Chris shouted with a laugh as they all started laughing
‘’Wait,’’ Nick said, ‘’Harlee wasn’t in her room…are you…do you know how long we have been watching you two, hoping you would just get together…’’
Chris shook his head, ‘’we’re trying to fuck and he is having a conversation on the other side there,’’ he said and lifted his head, then shouted, ‘’later Nick! Please just…go.’’
‘’Oh,’’ Nick said and burst out laughing, ‘’yeah. Sorry. Carry on.’’
Harlee giggled and Chris pulled her up, then pushed some hair that was plastered on her forehead back, ‘’you okay, or did that just ruin everything?’’ he asked
Harlee smiled and looked from his still hard rock dick to his eyes. She tilted her head slightly to the side looking into his eyes that looked as if they were pleading with her to still be in the mood. ‘’Chris, wild horses couldn’t drag me out of here,’’ she said and stood on her tippy toes as she lifted her face to his and put her arms around his neck.
Chris gave her a smile and picked her up with ease as he placed one hand on her waist, the other on an ass cheek, and kissed her. He knew he was never going to tire from her delicious kisses. She smiled into the kiss and wrapped her legs around him, his big dick between them, exciting her even more.
Chris kept his one arm firmly on her ass as he turned the water off and then pushed the shower door open. He silently thanked his lucky stars that he could easily hold her as he stepped out of the shower with the full intention of going to his room opposite the bathroom, but it seemed it would be the longest walk of his life when all he wanted to do was bury his already aching dick into her wet pussy. It would also mean they would have to dry themselves off, and get dressed for a minute to only take their clothes off again.
His eyes landed on the sink counter, made of marble, and since it was a double sink, there was enough space between them to plant her fine little ass on. Harlee had moved her kisses to his cheek, his incredible jaw, and down his neck, leaving Chris to smile at the view in the mirror at the back of the sink counter.
‘’Chris?’’ she said between the kisses
‘’Yeah babe?’’ he replied, squeezing one of her ass cheeks that fit so well into his hand
‘’I need you to fuck me…now,’’ she said. Bingo. The counter it was.
He stepped up to the counter and claimed her lips with his again as he set her down. She let out a tiny gasp as the contrast of the cool counter top hit her hot skin, so Chris immediately pulled her off again and grabbed her big fluffy towel, placing it where she was going to be fucked real good.
‘’Thank you,’’ she whispered as he set her down again
‘’Anything for you,’’ he said with a smile that made her pussy wet, while Chris grabbed his cock and smeared his pre-cum over his shaft.
‘’That’s so hot,’’ Harlee said watching Chris.
Chris smiled, and stroked his cock another two times, and then aimed his cock at her dripping pussy. She pushed herself back a fraction and lifted her legs, placing her heels on the very edge of the counter, her legs spread open, giving Chris the best view he could have asked for.
‘’Fuuuuck. You’re better than any of my fantasies,’’ he said staring at her as she did to him earlier. ‘’You…you have the best little pussy and titties I’ve ever seen.’’
Harlee smiled but she threw her head back when Chris suddenly bent down and flattened his tongue against her pussy and ran his tongue up to her clit.
‘’Oh my god!’’ she squealed and gripped the edge of the counter with her fingertips as she arched her back. Chris lifted his eyes and with her titties on display the way they were, his pre-cum doubled and ran down his shaft.
Chris laughed and stood up straight, grabbing his dick again, ‘’you taste so fucking good, but I need my dick in you,’’ he said and pressed his tip against her pussy
‘’MMM, yes, get that monster into me,’’ she moaned. She was impossibly slick, with enough warmth radiating from her core to promise a welcoming and unforgettable union. Ever so slowly, he pressed the tip of his dick towards its goal. Her pussy embraced his dick, bringing a gasp from the both of them. A tingling sensation rushed through Chris’ body, threatening to make him lose control. but he growled with pleasure as he squeezed into her, which was echoed by Harlee.
‘’You’re so wet,’’ Chris murmured, with relief
She nodded, ‘’I told you, watching you…is something else,’’ she said and sucked in a breath, ‘’just do it.’’
Chris grabbed the back of her head and pulled her into a hungry kiss as he slammed into her. Her pussy constricted tightly around his shaft, but she was so wet that he could almost feel her sucking him in deeper and deeper. She whimpered into the kiss for a moment but Chris felt her relax almost immediately. The worst was over but, the sudden enveloping of his dick had surprised him, sending a shiver through his body as his climax rushed in. He gritted his teeth and every muscle in his body as he staved off his orgasm. It had never come so fast before, but the highly erotic nature of being with Harlee was a strong force. Chris had paused letting her adjust to him before started thrusting.
‘’Fuck you feel good,’’ Chris breathed and she could only nod, unable to form coherent words. He was so deep, she expected to taste him in her throat at any moment. Chris kissed her and placed a hand between her legs. He brushed a thumb over her clit and began moving it in circles. He was sure he had only moved his thumb around twice before she moaned into the kiss and her pussy clamped down around him.
She pulled from the kiss and looked at Chris, her eyes were huge, her breathing was fast and furious. Her mouth was forming a perfect ‘o’, her face riddled with a mixture of confusion and surprise. She placed her hands on Chris's chest and tried to push him away as she simultaneously tried to scoot back. Chris let out a laugh and grabbed Harlee’s legs just as her heels slipped from the counter, and pulled her back to him, slamming into her. ''Fuck, fuck, fuck...Chris...,'' she squealed
‘’Let it out baby,’’ he said
‘’OH MY GOD,’’ she screamed just before she buried her face into his shoulder, her screams muffled against Chris's flesh and muscles as he felt her pussy gush and pulse, soaking his dick and pelvis.
Chris received the most amazing massage he had ever felt. Her body vibrated, she shook for nearly a full minute before she finally came down from her high. Chris slowed his pace down and smiled at her when she pulled her face from his shoulder.
‘’Bet you haven’t cum like that before either?’’ he asked with a proud smirk
She laughed and shook her head, ‘’no. Fuck! Holy fucking fuck,’’ she replied, making him laugh
‘’You’re even more beautiful when you cum, but it’s my turn,’’ he said and began pumping into her again, and it wasn’t long before they were both on the edge, but Harlee won as she cried out in ecstasy but Chris was right on her tail. Everything hit Chris, sending him tumbling into his own orgasm and pushing him over the edge; the position they were in, the sight of them fucking, the noises emanating from Harlee, his dick deep in her pussy, the smell surrounding them and her tight pussy like a vice grip exploding around his cock, then the wet splash against his public bone. Chris let out a loud groan that echoed around the bathroom. He tilted his head back as he shot load after load into Harlee, overfilling her. He was still shaking and trembling as he looked down and saw his cum spilling out around his cock. It was so, so tight, he didn’t think there was room, but the site aroused him even more and he groaned again, feeling his last bit of cum shoot out. The orgasm had spread through his body and his legs shook slightly. Harlee started to come down from her orgasm and then slumped against Chris. He wrapped his arms around her, his one hand holding the back of her head, ever protective and scared she would slide off the counter or hit her head. She was well and truly spent. He pushed his lips against her damp hair. Breathing hard, Chris pulled himself out of Harlee and then pulled her closer to him. Her legs slipped off the counter and hung like a rag doll while she fully recovered.
‘’If it all ended now, I’d be set,’’ Chris said softly. ‘’I mean I want a future with little me’s and you’s running around but if it did all end now, I’d be the happiest man there.’’
‘’I think I love you, a lot more than friends,’’ Harlee whispered
‘’I fucking hope so, 'cause I love you too,’’ he said and moved back so he could look at her. She smiled at him as she looked up at him, loving everything about him. ‘’I love that we both won today and I want to keep it that way. Cause baby when it's you and me, we will never lose, when it's you and me...together, ’’ Chris said with such sincerity, Harlee knew that she really was the winner - she had Chris through thick and thin.
''If you didn't set this up, I would have forever been yearning for you,'' Harlee said and intertwined her fingers with his, ''how did you know I stayed to watch you though? The perfume didn't mean I stayed.'' ''I knew you stayed because I would have stayed too. See, we both win,'' he said and pushed his lips to hers thanking the heavens that she had a dirty little heart. I hope you enjoyed this as much as I enjoyed writing this. Thank you to everyone who has read, and/or liked it, reblogged, and commented. From the bottom of my heart, It means so much to me and you are really appreciated.

If you had to choose, what was your favorite Yasammy moment in Chaos Theory specifically?
You know, I could go on about so many scenes, and I mean SO MANY. When I say I absolutely loved them in CT I really do mean it.
From the “I love you”’s, to the constant girlfriend calling, to their Strife in episode 6.
From the constant physical contact to “Wanna make a little Chaos?” “Maybe.”
To the entire sequence of them nearly drowning. (MY GOD I can yell about that all day)
But Anon, you know what really gets me about them this season? And whilst its not a moment specifically.
It’s the way they constantly look out for each other.
Tumblr media
Protect each other
Tumblr media
Even if it puts their own life on the line.
Tumblr media
Even if they could get hurt.
Tumblr media
As long as the other is okay.
Tumblr media
That’s all that matters, right?
Tumblr media
Consequences can be thought about later.

wc: 3.5k
masterlist
---
he watches from the doorway as you whine and mewl on the bed, desperately attempting to get yourself off.
your whole body glistens with heat as you squirm under the dull lighting of the room-- clearly, you've been at this for a while.
you are dressed in a familiar white undershirt that is definitely from the boys' closet, but your bottom half is bare and spread out, dripping onto the comforter as your fingers work their magic.
a perfect eye-full for your 3-in-1 boyfriend.
"this is why you're not allowed to have her on the weekends." marc taunts from a nearby mirror, though his eyes are locked on your writhing body. steven clenches his jaw as the grating voice in his head pulls him away from the alluring scene in front of him.
god knows why he decided to put up so many mirrors in the flat. it's like he's trying to drive himself crazy.
your eyes are squeezed shut as your finger delicately circles against your clit, spreading your slick all over your pulsing cunt until wet sounds begin to fill the air. you suck on your bottom lip as you frantically tease the sensitive bud, your legs tense from the build-up, and your back arches off the mattress.
"she needs a real man to take care of her after a long week of work."
that irks steven.
you've never talked about being unsatisfied by his slower pace -- by his need to savor each look, sound, and touch that you give him.
of course, jake needs to chime in as well, "look at our girl, stevie, she's so needy. let me have the body. i'll give her what she needs."
steven tries to block them out, but it's hard when their voices are coming straight from his own mind.
when he thinks back on your time together, everything is perfect. at least to him, it is.
he loves hearing your soft breathy moans, tasting the sweetness of your pussy dripping from his kitten licks, and feeling those delicate kisses that you share as you ride him gently. you fall apart in his arms, hold him close, and exchange whispered 'i love you's.
sure, he's always been the softer side of the three -- kissing over jake's bites or gently caressing marc's bruises -- but he thought you liked that. he thought that was enough.
but now you're getting yourself off without even seeking him out first.
you're close, so fucking close, panting out stuttered breathes, thighs clenching together, and body shaking, but --
"fuck!"
it's not enough.
your heart beats rapidly against your chest as you start to come down from that unreachable peak you've been chasing all day. as your foggy mind finally clears up, you sense someone at the door.
"s-steven!" you're surprised to see him, especially just standing there, watching you fail to pleasure yourself.
his work shifts have been running later and later since marc's last mission (donna is forcing him to work unpaid overtime instead of firing him) so you weren't expecting him until dinner time.
the shifts have been brutal for him.
these days, he just eats sleep for dinner, too tired to do more than just collapse on the couch and cuddle you. you've tried to convince him to just quit, that jake's cab escapades and marc's more 'eccentric' job opportunities can pay for everything, but he really loves the job, despite the weirdly toxic work environment.
"darling."
it's a flat greeting, a tone you've never heard from his lips, especially not when he's fronting. he doesn't seem happy to see you. actually, he looks quite upset.
you cover yourself up with a blanket, suddenly uncomfortable with your partial nudity when he's unhappy like this.
"why are you back so early?" the usual glimmer in his eyes is snuffed out, instead replaced with an eerie darkness. "what's--are you okay, honey?"
"take it off."
"w-what?" you know he's referring to the blanket, but the way he demanded it --
"off."
you hesitantly move the blanket, revealing the evidence of your unfulfilled desperation. you shyly look up at him, embarrassed and terribly turned on that he's making you do this.
you can't help but press your thighs together, already feeling another spark of heat simply from seeing your darling boyfriend with his head of messy curls.
"keep them open."
you obey his command and spread your legs, leaning back to give him a good view. his eyes meet your center, the frustration you couldn't get rid of. you immediately see need blooming in his body, particularly under his slacks.
soft-spoken steven has never been as forthcoming as his counterparts, but he doesn't need to be, his body does all the talking for him.
you're watching each other as he slowly approaches you, tension thick in the air. he's so desperate to give you exactly what you need and deserve.
steven's mind runs through all the times he had stuck around while marc and jake fucked you.
the first time it happened, he didn't mean to watch through marc's eyes, but once he saw how easily you submitted for him, how utterly ruined you are once marc is done with you, he couldn't help but pop in once in a while.
steven nearly flushes in shame from the memory. he's so perverted...
marc is possessive, steven learned. he likes to know that you're his. he marks you up with his hands and mouth so you'll never forget who you belong to, then he makes you scream his name as you reach your high as he fucks his cum into you.
of course, you're happy to give him whatever he demands, laying right where he wants you and taking anything he'd give you.
jake's methods are different: he makes you cry.
it's the overstimulation that gets him off the best. the sight of your body shaking and writhing to get away from his insatiable touch gets him hard, makes him growl against your tacky skin. he gets off to getting you off, and you love it.
so maybe a mixture of both is what you need.
he can do that.
"i need you to do something for me." he curses inwardly at how soft his voice is when he talks to you. it's a reflex. he's supposed to be confident and rough.
"anything." you breathe out.
"turn around for me, love." he's standing right by the bed, leaning over you. "on all fours."
the surface of your body ripples with goosebumps as you position yourself on the bed for him. he hasn't even touched you and you're already humming with pleasure.
you hear him sigh behind you before he shuffles closer and delicately caresses your bare hips and bottom with warm hands. you feel yourself melt against the mattress as you drop from holding yourself up by your hands to leaning on your forearms. he always makes you feel soft and cozy, even with the simple contact of his hand against your body.
steven watches you arch your back as you get comfortable, hungrily taking in the way you unconsciously push your ass toward him. you're effortlessly sexy to him. you could simply put your hair up into a ponytail and he'd be rock-hard in his slacks from seeing your bare neck. so this...is distracting him.
"so..." marc's voice pulls him out of his thoughts, "you gonna do anything or just stare at her all night?"
"I'm working on it!" steven grits out (in his mind).
"alright, show me how it's done then, loverboy."
you gasp quietly as steven suddenly forces your legs to spread wider for him. you would have lost your balance if it weren't for his steady hold on you.
he slowly kneels in front of the bed, briefly adjusting himself in his pants to relieve some of his desperation. you struggle to keep your legs apart when you feel his warm breaths brush against your needy cunt. you swear you're literally throbbing with need for him.
jake's done this before, steven recalls, eating you out from behind. you seemed to really enjoy it despite the intense overstimulation that pushed you to tears and the bruises left on your thighs from his tight hold and nipping mouth.
he can do this.
he leans in and lightly brushes his plump lips against your wet center to test the waters. your muffle a whimper against the pillow you cling onto, but he hears it loud and clear.
you're so soft and wet, already falling apart in front of him. he can't help but poke his tongue out to taste your sweetness. the warm softness of his tongue has you urgently pushing yourself against him and he takes that as his sign to go deeper.
this time he holds you closer, wrapping his arms around your thighs as he dips into the hot opening of your cunt, working his tongue against your tender walls. his mouth waters at the taste of you and he's desperately leaning in for more.
he thrusts his tongue into your cunt, filling the room with slurping noises that nearly make you blush with how lewd they sound. he's pressed so closely behind you that he's practically supporting your weight as your legs grow too weak to hold you up.
"s-ste-- a-aah-- mm..." you fall apart when he starts licking from your entrance to your clit, flicking eagerly as you start to gush against his tongue. he can already feel your legs twitch and tremble as you try to escape his hot mouth.
your eyes roll to the back of your head when you feel his soft lips wrap around your aching clit. it's almost too much for you to handle. he suckles on your sensitive bud until you're whining out against your pillow as your body trembles with the crash of your orgasm.
steven ignores your pleas and your attempts to escape his mouth as he continues to work you through your high. he cleans you up with a gentle mouth, making sure not to miss a single drop. drool pools against the pillow as your exhausted body struggles to stay conscious.
“hm, not bad…” jake admires your trembling frame from a reflective surface nearby, hungrily taking in the scene and wishing he were in steven's place instead. "maybe we were wrong about you, stevie."
steven watches you as well, but with a hint of reluctance. he's never seen you like this first hand. usually, you're the one staring down at him with a small smile as he attempts to catch his breath from your teasing antics.
he's not sure if he likes this any more than the usual dynamic the two of you have. of course he loves knowing that he can make you fall apart just as much as marc and jake, but it's not him.
"you're not done with her yet, right?" marc asks, "'cuz if you are, i'd be happy to finish her off."
jake is quick to argue, "actually markie, i'm pretty sure it's my turn to spoil our little princess."
steven finally bites back, "no, tonight she's mine."
he grumbles, making an effort to push his annoyances into silence so he can give all of his attention to you.
steven nudges you to lay on your back so he can see your face, "love, are you alright?" his tone is light, despite the fact he's eager to continue ravaging you -- even if you do end up falling asleep.
"mhm," your eyes flutter open, sparkling with satisfaction as you stare up at him. you're adorable with that post-sex flush on your skin, highlighting the tops of your cheeks. "i just... wasn't expecting this from you."
"did you like it?"
"steven, i can barely feel my legs."
he lets out a nervous chuckle like he's unsure whether that's a good thing or not, but you ease his mind with a soft smile. you reach up and cradle his face, "yes, baby, i loved it." he presses his cheek against your hand, enjoying your embrace, "i always like it when you touch me."
"then can we do more?"
of course, you want to have sex with him, but...that, no matter how mind-blowing it was, wasn't him. steven is the type of guy to hold eye contact with you while eating you out, wanting to catch every expression and moan of praise as he brings you to the edge. he's the type to hold your hand as you cum, squeezing lovingly to encourage you to fully let go because you're safe with him.
all night he's been acting off. he's been distant and in his head -- and you have a faint idea as to why (their names rhyme with "bark and bake") but you want your sweet and gentle steven back.
you take his hand, "w-wait...steven?"
“yes, darling?"
you sit up, "can you, um, kiss me first?" it's a bit embarrassing to ask when he's already been nose deep in your cunt, but you need that sweet embrace that he's always given.
"of course." steven’s eyes soften.
cool relief rushes through his body. maybe he was wrong, maybe you do like his soft touches and sweet kisses. maybe you like him for being himself. it's not like marc and jake are the same anyway. each of them gives you something special.
he leans in closer and presses his lips against yours, his body trapping you against the bed. he immediately feels you relax against him as you start to move your mouth over his. he kisses you gently, taking time to trace over the sensitive edge of your bottom lip before dipping in and laving his tongue against yours. 
when you separate from each other with puffy lips and heated breaths, you can't help but admire the pretty man above you who regards you with pure admiration in his eyes.
"make love to me steven," you whisper, "a-and hold me after, please." his soft brown eyes, full of longing and admiration, meet yours.
"always, love." he pecks you once more on the lips, "i'd do anything for you." you feel his lips move down from your mouth to the edge of your jaw, then your shoulder, and finally the top of your covered chest.
he sits up briefly to pull your shirt off before doing the same with his own clothes. once he's in nothing but his briefs, he's back on top of you.
steven has stars in his eyes as he watches his hand slide over the softness of your curves. he loves how perfectly you fit against him.
you gasp softly as he teasingly brushes his thumb against your nipple. your body is already so sensitive to his touch.
"you're so beautiful..." he whispers.
as he leans in and captures the bud in his mouth, his hand drags down to the spot where you need him the most, sending a wave of sensations through your body and causing you to arch against his mouth.
you're already wet enough for him to slip his fingers inside of you, so he immediately begins thrusting deeply against your spongey walls, letting sloppy sounds of your wetness echo through the bedroom.
you tangle your fingers into his curls and arch your back as he starts to suckle at your nipple. his slick tongue flicks over the hardened bud, sending tingles up your spine. you are already half-delirious from how expertly he's working your body.
everything seems to speed up when you start to squirm under him. he's pushing you harder onto the bed, he's nipping love bites at your tits, his hand is moving faster against you -- from the sounds coming between you, you're sure you've made a mess of his hand.
"s-steven...mm...please!" your thighs squeeze around his wrist as he gets overzealous, hitting your g-spot over and over again without giving you a breather. he groans against your breast when you tug at his hair.
without any warning, he pulls away.
you reluctantly let him get up (though you're definitely too weak at this point to stop him) and you're left to breathlessly watch as he licks his fingers clean and pulls himself out of his briefs.
pleasure continues to buzz against the surface of your skin as you hungrily stare at the way he pumps himself delicately in front of you, his cock is already dripping with desperation. he looks at you with glazed eyes and flushed cheeks while he touches himself.
what a pretty boy...
"need to feel you," steven mumbles, shifting closer to you to press his cock against the seam of your cunt.
"feel me," you beg, canting your hips upwards to meet him.
steven gently moves himself against you, rutting himself against your wet center. he pants when his tip just barely presses into your entrance, proving how ready you are for him.
slowly, he pushes himself in, shuddering at how soft and wet you feel around him.
you whimper softly when he starts fucking you at a slow pace, forcing you to feel how perfectly he stretches you out, over and over again.
your body shudders every time he bottoms out and presses so intensely against that spot inside of you, making you feel like you're about to burst if he doesn't pull out soon.
steven looks down at your face, wanting to see if you're liking this -- but it turned out to be a mistake. he meant to make this sweet, to hold back and make love to you like you asked, but when you look up at him with those shiny eyes and that blissed, fucked-out expression, he can't help the way his hips start to frantically grind against yours.
"i'm sorry, love, i can't -- uhh -- c-can't help it when you look at me like that!" steven pushes your thighs upwards, forcing them closer to the mattress on either side of your head. you cry out as the new angle pushes him deeper within you, hitting every buzzing nerve inside of your sopping cunt.
"mm...steven!" the bed below rocks as his hips violently slap against you in a rhythmic motion.
he groans as he watches his cock thrust inside of you, making a mess of your wet center as you gush around him. you look so small under him, yet you're eagerly taking every inch in that tight cunt.
"i-i want to be inside of you forever..." steven pants out, "and i want you to feel me," he reaches between your bodies to press against your stomach, "here, forever."
"ahh~" you pant heatedly as the added pressure of his hand makes him feel even bigger inside of you. you squirm under him from the intense feeling, but you can barely move out from his hold.
"i love you, darling." he chokes out as he grows closer to the edge, rutting deliciously against the top wall of your pussy. "t-tell-tell me you love me too."
"fuck -- i love you, steven. i'll a-always -- nmph," you flutter around him as the heat of your own climax explodes throughout your body. "love you~" you can barely get the words out as he finishes inside of you.
you don't mind the way he rests on top of you as he attempts to catch his breath. his body is hot and sticky against yours, but it feels comforting nonetheless.
"mm...i missed you and your sweetness." you sigh, enjoying his weight over you, even if it is a tad difficult to breathe.
steven sheepishly mumbles against you, "but that wasn't exactly sweet lovemaking."
"sure, but it was you."
he simply hums happily in response, dotting light kisses against your tacky neck before nuzzling his face against you.
when you both cooled off, you decidedly needed a little space from the man pinning you to the mattress, "ok i need to breathe a little, steven."
"oh, oops, i'll get up." he pushes himself up so he can give you some air. you can't help but shudder as he starts to pull out of you.
"ah~" you can feel the warmth of his cum start to drip from your center, "you came so much, steven. look -- you made a mess." you tease, opening your legs for him.
"m'sorry, love." he sits back on his knees in front of you, staring down at the mess he made (as if he isn't just as messy). "didn't mean to..."
it doesn't sound like he's sorry though -- not by the distracted way he mutters out the apology while scooping up his cum and shoving it back into you.
"steven."
"i'm just trying to minimize the mess!" he defends.
you don't stop him because it feels oddly pleasant to be doted on like this. you'll just have to do a final cleanup later, you decide.
"imagine if i weren't on birth control," you joke, "i'd definitely be pregnant by now."
"..."
"steven are you hard again?!"

Was rereading some linkeduniverse, and had a sudden thought about something.
So take these two panels from Malon 5, the whole scene where Time and Twilight realize/reveal they’re related:
(Images belong to @linkeduniverse)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Look at how he ruffles his hair! Gah! I love them!)
I’ve seen people use the second panel there to mean that there actually aren’t very many generations between Time and Twi, because red hair is a recessive trait (a mutation actually, if we’re being specific), so it actually wouldn’t take very long to water it down as Time says.
But that’s only if we’re going off of how red hair works in real life. And I think it works differently in loz.
Take the Gerudo. Since a male is only born every 100 years or so, the ladies have to have kids with other people groups, Hylians mostly, who don’t seem to have red hair very often (and certainly not to the intensity of the Gerudo). Yet their red hair hasn’t been watered down barely at all somehow.
I’d bet that red hair is actually a more dominant trait in loz, which would explain why the Gerudo are still dominantly redhaired. It might not even be a mutation, since it seems like they’ve had red hair for as long as they’ve existed.
....At least that’s my guess anyway XD genetics are weird, and they’re not my specialty. But I do like to play with stuff like this, and the theory has some merit, I think.
Plus if all of that is true, and if we also take the popular headcanon that Malon’s mother either was a Gerudo, or had some Gerudo blood... then there’s going to be bright red hair in Time and Malon’s family for quite a while yet I’m thinking. Which means Twilight is quite a few generations down the line.

I don’t see the alleged handholding on the bus. I don’t. I’m sorry. I’ve watched it so many times. I want to see it. I see Aziraphale’s hand going towards Crowley, but I don’t see any motion from Crowley that suggests he’s holding Aziraphale’s hand.
Are we really, really, REALLY sure they’re holding hands?
Hi there. 💕 Yep. Well, I am, anyway, and I'm happy to share why. I have watermelon salad to share tonight. Ahhh, summer... 🍉
Tumblr media
I don't want to assume anything but I've seen the "Crowley doesn't react so they aren't holding hands" comment places before and what I think keeps people from seeing it is the idea that they think that Crowley should have some kind of big reaction because they think this is new. It's not. We aren't watching the very first time that they ever hold hands; we're watching a long-time couple familiar with doing so.
If this were the very first time Aziraphale had ever taken Crowley's hand then I could see why you're saying there should be some kind of reaction. We'd expect him to glance over or for his arm to be seen moving a bit from what of it we could see. On the other hand, if you look at the scene with a different perspective-- one assuming that they're already in a place where holding hands is not unfamiliar territory-- then the whole moment is really set up to reinforce that through showing how comfortable Crowley is with what's happening.
Crowley doesn't have to turn to Aziraphale right away in surprise and we don't need to see his head or arm move because all that's really likely happening is that Crowley is letting Aziraphale hold his hand right where it is resting on his thigh. Maybe he's turned his hand a little to thread their fingers together. Maybe he's just rubbing a thumb over Aziraphale's. We wouldn't see that from our angle because it would just be movement from his wrist down... and that seems to me to be the point of how the scene was shot. The outside view of the bus at this moment exactly? An angle designed to intimate to us that hands are being held and that it is not a rare or new event.
Think about it this way: if they never had held hands before, is Aziraphale just going to take his hand on this bus out of nowhere? Probably not. Is Crowley just going to sit there if Aziraphale did? Probably not. We get two or so seconds after Aziraphale takes his hand before the bus finishes moving out of the frame wherein we could have been shown Crowley having a more surprised reaction if that was what the scene was trying to say but we didn't see one because it seems like that is not what is being said with the scene.
Aziraphale's movements are familiar; he already knows he's permitted to take Crowley's hand whenever he likes and that they both find it comforting. Not only have they just been through all sorts of exhausting craziness over the last few days but Aziraphale was discorporated. He wasn't sure if he was going to be able to get his body back or how and this is basically the first moment they are alone enough to touch since Adam gave Aziraphale back his body. The hand holding then is a way of showing that Aziraphale needs to both feel grounded in his own body and to touch Crowley (not totally separate things, really...). That speaks to long-time coupledom to me more than it does to something new. If you look at the scene from the perspective that they're already together (just as if you look at most of the series from that perspective), you'll see a lot of subtle things just like this scene that reinforce the idea.
I wrote some stuff awhile back that you can find here about the connections between this scene and the flashback one on the bus earlier in S1 that also might help show how that they're sitting together and holding hands in this scene is set up by the earlier scene, should you be interested in that. Also: the "magic hands" massage joke would also suggest that holding hands in S1's present wouldn't be considered unusual. I think that if they've been making love since ancient Rome, as I wrote about the show suggesting here, liking to hold hands isn't too surprising but I understand from where your doubts are coming. Hope this helps. 💕

My thoughts about the finale's timeline based on the stills.
Tumblr media
We will start with the Buck & Tommy date. (Whether there will be scenes about Bobby (and Athena) before that, just to hurt us more, I don't know.) It looks like night time, and the fire happened at night. A call will interrupt their date. (Who will call Buck? The hospital? Is he Bobby's emergency contact after Athena? Will he call the others? So many burning questions.)
They all rush to the hospital. Hence the same clothes. I would love if Tommy would be there with Buck, but he's not in any of these photos or the promo. Although a girl can dream...
Bobby has to be in the hospital for days. So the team comes and goes, because Athena investigates, and she had to be at the hospital for some time, while the doctors made sure she's okay.
Tumblr media
So I think while they are there (next day / morning maybe) Hen gets a call and I don't even know what the hell happens with them, but Mara deserves a great family so they better fight for her and win. So go Henren! We support you! We love you! ❤️ (And so does Chim. Hopefully, he and Maddie could help them.)
Tumblr media
I suppose the same happens with Eddie. They are wearing the same clothes, but it's daytime, so probably they spent the night at the hospital and the next day after the fire, Eddie gets a call. Go home, where he speaks with Buck, his parents. I don't know what will happen but I know it will be messy and we have all the feels, all the drama and heartbreak.
Tumblr media
I reckon in this scene he tells Buck about what happened with Kim and Christopher and Marisol, then he will talk with his parents (When will they arrive? Are they in the other room, or with Chris or not there yet?)
Tumblr media
Will Buck be present and just went out when the phone rung or was he in the other room during this talk? Will he talk to Eddie's parents at all, or he's just there as moral support. I think they get a call about Bobby. So they go to the hospital again (where all this time, there was always somebody to keep Bobby company, and Bobby will be fine, everyone will be fine and happy and the problems magically go away. 🤡)
Tumblr media
I think this will be the last scene, a couple days later (different clothes), where Chris goes with his grandparents, while he forgives Eddie and Eddie goes to therapy and gets better. 😭
Cue the tears, the tissue and a very long wait till season 8. (I hope they will start at the end of September. 🤞)
PS. I like that they got renewed sooner, but it also means cliffhangers. They know they don't need to close every story line and frankly they can't do it to all 3 major character arcs in 44 minutes.

First spoiler chapter 58
The first spoilers for chapter 58 are here and I want to leave you my quick thoughts. I'll start with the cover.
Tumblr media
The last image is the new inside cover of chapter 58 and obviously I couldn't help but relate it to these other images. Yoneda usually plays a lot with connections and mirror chapters so I like to hypothesize what he wants to tell us. The first image of chapter 10: "At that time when I was a nobody", shows the moment when a teenage Yashiro is pressured by Misumi to formally join the yakuza. If we continue with the sequence, image 2 corresponds to chapter 31: "Feelings and ambitions intermingle", it is one of the climax moments of the story where they end up accusing Yashiro of the death of a member of the Gouda-gumi. There is a lot of talk about the sakazuki (official yakuza affiliation ceremony), loyalty and it is shown how yakuza groups protect their members in these situations of internal conflict. Finally we have the cover of the next chapter 58: "Emotions are left behind."
All of the above shows us narratively where we are heading in the story at the level of the yakuza (my favorite). Yashiro never wanted to join the yakuza out of necessity, he did it as a sacrifice to help Kageyama (I hope one day he finds out) and throughout his life he has shamelessly shown that he has never truly felt like a yakuza. When the first arc ends and Yashiro loses leadership as wakagashira of his group, "the" opportunity is created to distance himself from the yakuza. Misumi pressures him again and again to work directly with him again but so far he has dodged it with grace and elegance as only he knows how. Until that moment everything was working for Yashiro, he was still like a living dead, but he was half a body away from the yakuza until Doumeki enters the equation again. The cover of the new chapter says that emotions are left behind but will Yashiro be able to leave his emotions behind when it comes to protecting Doumeki? Precisely in the last chapters Yoneda has shown us how they have been gradually resolving their prejudices and emotions but now it is time to return to reality, we are at the beginning of another yakuza conflict.
On the other hand, I cannot fail to mention the visual narrative of the covers. Chapter 10 and 58 are a mirror, both Yashiros look at this little sparrow that represents the difficult decision to be in the yakuza, it is incredibly sublime. And the intermediate scene that has so much to say, Yashiro, unlike the other images, is standing, which means to me that he feels in a more empowered position, and let's add the details of the rain and the umbrella.
Tumblr media
I couldn't leave aside the symbolism of these two elements. The rain has always been another character in saezuru, a symbol of pain, sadness, loss and its counterpoint the umbrella that protects me from everything. There are so many memorable scenes with these two elements to name a few: when Yashiro brings the umbrella to Aoi (Doumeki's sister) to protect her from her feelings for Doumeki because it reminds her of when he loved Kageyama, when Yashiro looks at a mother from the car protecting his son, a feeling that he had never felt (this is very sad, Yashiro is a survivor), the past and recent scenes where Doumeki protects Yashiro (for more information you can read aiaigasa). There is so much to remember and analyze that saezuru readers can, without exaggeration, read the story 100 times and find something new.
To finish, I think that for Yashiro and Doumeki it is time to decide whether or not they are going to officially be part of their groups with the advantages and risks that this entails. If you've read this far, I sincerely thank you for your interest in my ramblings and if there are problems in the text, you know, it's Google translator's fault hahahaha.

Season of Love (8/?)
+18 | Toto x reader fem!teamprincipal, romance, comedy, and some good drama.
Summary: One night on a pier in Monaco, while admiring the sea under the night skies, you tell Toto: "I came to the conclusion that love is simply not meant for me." That's the answer to a question you have been asking yourself for the longest time. But what if he proved you wrong? Author's note: This is a multichapter Toto Wolff x team principal reader fic set along a season of F1. It's a very immersive story full of drivers, team dynamics, races, mystery, and smut. You just bought the Williams team, but nobody really knows who you truly are.
< Previous chapter | Masterlist | Next chapter >
The Color of Truth is Blue Arc Chapter 8: Safety car needed
Trigger warning: Child trauma, abuse.
Belgium
And to think Toto felt guilty enough about hiding from you his decision to get back with Susie and try to make things work with her, giving himself the hardest time for it while you had been married this whole time!
The two of you are truly made for each other since none of you have morals.
He wants to grab the helmet on the clear glass coffee table inside his remote office before him and smash it against it, but he contains himself. 
Instead, he stands up to pour himself a drink that's almost pure alcohol and just a bit of ice, frantically prancing around the room.
-
This GP is "hometown" for you guys. 
Mathew's assistant has zero problems fitting it into his busy schedule, so he can assist in your name.
It's not that you do much for the team, anyway. You are more like a figure to lift the morale and PR the team and its sponsors around. 
Mat looks excited to be at the paddock. He loves the attention he is getting. He remained as far from it as possible for obvious reasons, but now it seems like an excellent time to join in the fun. 
Mainly because he feels like it, and when he likes something, he has it.
Now that the real boss is in town, people need to get used to his presence and his long list of shenanigans.
Get a grip!
-
The weekend at Spa starts with the now-usual FIA meeting. On this occasion, everyone is on time. 
The group is gathered in the final rows of chairs in another world's saddest meeting room. As always, they are messing around while they wait for the meeting to begin.
—This carpeting looks out of a 70's Vegas casino —Seb mentions, looking around his feet.
—It's giving "cheap motel," —Charles adds.
—It's giving "crime scene" —Samanta joins in.
Toto and Fred enter the room, beverages in hand, gossiping. 
Woaff! Lewis notices that Toto looks rough. His hair is messy, and big dark circles are under his eyes. Also, he seems reddish on the cheeks. Is he drinking at work?! Lewis recognizes that kind of blush on him.
—It's giving "once someone died in here" —Checo jokes as he pictures a silhouette drawn with chalk while staring at the floor.
—It's giving "I think I saw this place in Law & Order" —Millie says.
—How many hours of L&O have you seen? —Mick changes the topic, knowing Millie is a fan.
—More than needed —she admits. 
—So you weren't joking when you said, "I go and put Law & Order on any device before a race as my race ritual"? —George looks at her, eyes widening and holding a giggle.
Sam interrupts as Millie is about to answer: —Elvis has arrived.
All their heads turn to the door as Matthew swags in.
—Armani ani ani ani —Millie sings Megan The Stallion style. —He looks so stylish in that suit! Hot!
—He is your boss, dude! —Oscar says and looks at her, chin up.
—And married to my wife! Who's also your boss. So more respect, please —Lando adds.
—Does that make you her father? —Sebastian jokes, pointing at the blonde.
—Are you Millie's dad?! —Lewis joins in, acting shocked.
—Dad?! —Millie turns in his chair to face Lando, wide eyes and arms reaching for a hug.
—You all stupid —Sam laughs, enjoying the exchange.
Mathew being the annoying ass he is, goes straight to her and drops in the chair next to Sam, placing his arm around her shoulders. —Amelia, hi! —Mat addresses her with a big-ass smile and stunning blue eyes staring at her.
—AMELIA?!! —everyone but Millie lets out in shock.
—How lovely to see you! —Sam greets him with a "fuck you!" gaze but answers with the sweetest voice.
—Yes, that's her middle name, you didn't know?! —Mat asks the group, pretending to be shocked, knowing she hates that name.
Then, the FIA deputy enters and asks Mathew to join him upfront since they are addressing the whole Lenkov situation and the new safety on paddock protocols with the drivers for the first time.
—Well, now that everything is clear, I will leave the microphone to Mr. De Vos to introduce himself...
—Yes, take off your shirt and tell us —Lando jokes in a low voice, next to Millie, discreetly bumping her and laughing low. 
Those fuckers.
-
Everyone looks bored as Fred goes forever after grabbing the mic to discuss the car skidding due to fluids and oil spills on the pitlane.
—No, you guys. I like this topic! I identify with it since I'm also fluid —Millie adds, all confident and open.
—Genderfluid? —Seb smiles big at her, eyes sparkling at her gutsy statement.
—I love the gender fluids —Lando jokes, with a cheeky innuendo as usual.
—I wouldn't mind some gender fluids instead of this, mate —Dani adds.
—I would have the gender fluids, please! —Mick jokes, pretending to raise his hand.
—I'm feeling my gender-fluids right now —Millie colorfully adds while looking at Mathew.
—What fluids is he talking about?! —George asks, serious, not recalling watching spots or brushes on the pitlane, unable to hear Fred accurately and utterly unaware of the jokes around.
—The genders —Seb and Millie answer simultaneously before bursting out laughing, watching a perplexed George. 
Everyone in the room turns their heads to them.
—Oh shit!
-
As soon as the doctors inform you that you can leave the hospital, your team moves you to the Manor, where Mathew insists you take a break and rest before putting a foot back on the paddock, much to your complaints.
He lets you know he will handle it while you are gone, and not enough "I'm fine!" on your part makes him change his mind.
Nothing good will come out of this with him there, you know that!
-
The press is desperate to get an interview out of Mathew, and the photographers already love him, a cloud of lens following him around.
With those looks, impeccable suit, and swag, who wouldn't want to snap his picture? 
But his security has him covered.
A new and hot Sky Sports reporter approaches him, and he lets her slide in, with a microphone in hand and a cameraman following her.
Mathew gives her an exclusive interview, instantly switching to his most charming, funny, and sweet persona. He shines under the lens, showing his big, bright smile with gorgeous teeth.
Mat reaches the reporter's ear when the interview finishes and the cameraman lowers the lens. —Tower Suite 1898 The Post, 7:00 p.m., don't be late. I'm fucking you in dark lingerie and ankle-strap black high heels.
She nods, all blushing, knees shaking at his invitation.
-
Okay, Toto can't resist it anymore. He promised he wouldn't do it, but he can't. It's driving him nuts.
He opens his iPad and smashes the keywords on the Google search bar, typing "Mathew De Vos."
A ton of links and information show up.
"Cambridge Faculty of Law Board Member, Masters in Corporate Law, PhD. in Law, former ONU ambassador, former Interpol Associate"
Toto closes those taps after reading them and moves to the next more frivolous ones.
"#4 on World's Richest Men, #2 Billionaires Under 30, #2 GQ's Stylish CEOs"
In all his status, Mathew appears married, and in most of his interviews, he always mentions his wife, you, which hurts him.
Okay, but what does Matthew do right now? Why buying an F1 team? There's nothing linking him or you to the sport. Could it be just for a hobby?
"Current investor and CEO of Little Heroes Global: Safeguarding Minors Around the Globe."
Okay, there's still no connection. Maybe it was just a good business deal? 
Toto keeps reading and then moves to trashier, gossipy sites.
Le Soir
Brussels, 2004.
Tragedy strikes De Vos family as helicopter crash kills parents, leaving 16-year-old son heir.
A devastating helicopter crash in the rolling hills of Belgium has claimed the lives of Victor and Lina De Vos, leaving their 16-year-old son, Mathew, the sole heir to their vast family fortune.
According to eyewitnesses, the De Vos family was on a routine flight from their estate in Wallonia to Brussels when the helicopter suddenly lost control and crashed in a nearby field. The accident occurred at approximately 10:45 a.m., with rescue teams arriving on the scene within minutes.
"It was a scene of utter devastation," said Alfred Van der Meer, a local farmer who witnessed the crash. "I saw the helicopter go down and then... grey clouds."
Victor De Vos, a wealthy businessman and billionaire, was 45 years old at the time of his death. His wife, Lina, was 42. 
The couple was known for their philanthropic efforts and various charitable organizations throughout Belgium.
Mathew De Vos, 16 years old at the time of the accident, is now the heir to his father's business empire and the family's Manor. The exact value of the estate is unknown, but insiders close to the family suggest that it could be worth hundreds of millions.
"We are still trying to come to terms with this tragedy," said Michel Droveb, his godfather, a family friend, and business associate. "But we are all relieved that Mathew is safe and will be able to carry on his parents' legacy."
As news of the tragedy spread, tributes poured in from around the world. "The De Vos family was a shining example of generosity and kindness," said King Leopold II of Belgium. "Their loss is a great blow to our nation."
Funeral services are scheduled for next week at the St. Michael's Cathedral in Antwerp.
In the meantime, Mathew De Vos has been taken under the wing of his family's trusted advisors and is expected to continue his parents' business endeavors.
As he begins his journey as one of the world's youngest billionaires, Mathew De Vos has vowed to honor his parents' memory by using his wealth to make a positive impact on the world.
"We will continue to give back to our community and support those in need," he said in a statement. "My parents would want nothing less."
The exact cause of the crash is still under investigation. 
Toto finishes reading the old entry on the news site, a bit pale and shocked. That may explain some of Mathew's attitude. 
He locks his iPad after indulging himself too much and thinks it's enough. Toto has more important things to do.
-
As soon as you are allowed to leave the bed, you go visit Mat's mom since you miss her very much. You walk there barefoot, feeling the cold wood and stone floors of the Manor all the way to the next wing.
She is peacefully lying in bed. The massive room is full of bright natural light, and a fresh and stunning bouquet of her favorite flowers is placed on the nightstand next to her, filling the room with a delicious scent.
You want to tell her all about your new life and the people you have met, and as you share everything about Toto with her, you get emotional and overwhelmed.
So when Mathew arrives there after searching for you, he finds you crying while holding her limp hand.
He comes closer and sits at the border of his mother's ICU hospital bed, placing himself between it and the armchair where you are sitting at. 
The room remains quiet, just the sounds of the life support pieces of equipment keeping his elderly mom alive, in a coma, but still.
He tenderly kisses her mother's temple before facing you, leaning his body in to wipe the tears sliding down your cheeks.
—Tell me what's hurting you to fix it? —compassion and care fill his eyes.
—This has no fix. Damage is done —you stare down at your hands before adding: —But going out to dinner can help me feel better.
He nods. —I know the place.
-
Sam joins you for breakfast at the Manor the following morning, where you tell her every detail about the plan, now being able to, and how it went.
—Then Pascal played one for the team again! —she says before grabbing a portion of her pancakes.
—I'm worried about him. I hope he is safe and well. —you express with deep concern, much to Mathew's dislike.
—Oh, he is. He let me know days ago —Mat says in the most nonchalant, neutral voice while picking his fruits.
—What?! Why didn't you tell me?! I've been worrying all these past days! —now you sound exasperated at him.
A "here we go!" face sets on Sam.
—You needed to rest! No further point! —Mat continues, still not caring, as if nothing was wrong.
—Stop telling me what I need! —you raise your voice at him, now you are mad!
He looks up and stares at you with an icy look but doesn't reply; he continues having breakfast as if nothing is happening.
One day, you will lose it with Mathew's controlling and psycho moves. 
You regain your composure and add: —This can't keep happening! I need to know the things that involve me right at the moment!
—Understood —it's all he says.
—And what about Lenkov? Any whereabouts? —Sam says, pushing topics, used to witnessing you fight.
-
You text Seb to let him know you are at the Manor now.
—I'm glad! But where's that?! Do you own a manor? It doesn't sound much like your style! Ah, and thanks for answering back!
—Sorry for the delay in replies! I was resting. Shit! I forgot you don't know about it. Let me ask Mat if you can pop by. He is very particular about who is allowed here.
—No worries! I can ask him myself. I'm watching him right here.
Seb puts his phone inside his red tracksuit pocket, scooters down the pitlane to Mat beside Michael, and chats casually with the men in German before asking him the question.
—Wait, Seb! 
Seb doesn't read your text. Seb takes Mathew entirely by surprise. 
Mathew allows him to visit you, sensing Vettel is kind and has some guts to reach him.
-
When you return to the Manor, feeling tipsy after drinking a lot in that sports bar where you watched the race in secret.
Your heart sank every time Toto appeared on screen, looking as handsome as ever but without acting playful in front of the camera.
Sebastian is already in the old drawing room, waiting for you and chatting with Mat in a friendly way, which is rare. Damn, time flew by!
—And there she is! Hello, drunk! —Seb greets you as soon as you enter the room.
Mathew sends you a cold look, which you defiantly ignore.
—Bee guy! —you reach Seb and give him a warm hug. —Podium, heh!
—I know! Third place! Not that bad for this old man?! Tell Millie to leave me to win sometime, one win this season, pretty please! —Seb smiles big at you.
—No way, Jose! I'm sorry for making you wait with this one! —you point to Mat with your thumb.
—Alcohol produces brain damage, and you need cold water and food! I see you two at the dining table.
Mat exits the room, annoyed; he hates alcohol, cigars, drugs, sugar, and everything that's unhealthy for the body.
—Does he always swags all moody like that? —Seb asks, following him with his eyes, raising his eyebrows.
—Oh yeah —you let out a giggle.
You love Vettel.
-
—And those are your parents, right? —Seb asks, observing the massive regal oil painting of a family of three hanging on the wall by the exquisite wooden crafted stairs before sensing the atmosphere changing.
He got offered a tour of the Manor.
—Yes —Mat answers solemnly, you two standing near Seb while he leans to peek. All alcohol is out of your system by this point.
—Do the eyes follow you around as you walk past? —Vettel jokes in the most Sebastian way possible.
A smile forms on Mathew's lips. —It sometimes shakes too. You know when father disapprovals! —he pats Seb a bit too hard on the back.
—It's a bit too much, isn't it? —you join in. Shruging your nose, looking at the old painting.
—Yeah —both men agree, letting out in unison.
—You were such a cute kid. What happened?! —Seb teases Mat.
—Life, life happened to me —he answers, more honest than joking, oblivious to Seb, clear to you.
Why is Mat acting open and friendly with him?
-
—Ta-dah! This is my room! —you invite Seb to hang out in a more private space, taking him to the last spot of the tour.
Mathew had already left to the wing of the Manor that is his. He always hides in there; sometimes, you even forget he exists or that you were supposed to live with him.
—So this is where you grew up? —Seb is curious and naturally funny, so he is already playfully peeking into your drawers, looking at the Polaroids on the wall, and checking the decor. —Oh wow, baby Sam!
He points to a picture where "kid Sam" and a younger Alexi, Mat, and you appear.
—Yeah, that's about when I arrived here, and no, I didn't grow up here —you shake your head several times. —I wish!
Now, Seb is confused. Mat just told him you two lived together "since you were kids." —Then, where?
—Here, take a sit —you invite him to hang on the sofa in front of the big stony fireplace as it lights the huge room. The night is fully set, and the air in the countryside is cold. —Bare along...
-
This story is not a happy one.
You will never forget that big old mansion in the woods where you grew up. Your oldest memories start there at age four.
You had no idea who your mom was; you had never met her, only your nanny, who cared for you and your baby sister, a cute five-month-old girl, a chubby, healthy baby with pink cheeks. 
You loved holding her; she always wrapped her fingers around your thumb and tried to get your long, shiny hair into her mouth, which made you giggle.
You let her play with your teddy bear; she is the only one allowed to grab "bon-bon." 
You love wrapping big bowties around its plushie neck, and your papa occasionally gifts you colorful and shiny ribbons.
-
Every day, you take lessons with a rigorous and cruel governess who teaches you manners and scolds you when you do things wrong, calling you an animal and a brute whenever she loses her patience with you.
You don't like how she treats you, but you don't notice anything wrong with it. It feels ordinary to you.
-
The following day, your nanny wakes you up early and tells you they have important guests coming over, and you must look pretty to welcome them. 
She combs your hair roughly and, in a rush, pulls it into a tight bun as instructed while you are on your feet on top of the makeup chair. 
She puts you into a puffy chiffon dress and starts applying you makeup, which you love. You like all those things: hairstyles, dresses, makeup, nails, glitter, and sparks. 
When you see yourself in the mirror, you look like a doll that belongs on a shelf as you stick your tongue out and make silly faces at your reflection.
She then takes you downstairs to your favorite room of the large house. The playroom is colorful and has many toys to play with; it's a shame you always play alone.
You go inside and grab a couple of plushies and a plastic tea set when you notice several stern and tall men watching you. 
You feel a little bit shy under their stares; among them is a man who looks intensely at you. 
He is a tall, silver-haired, muscular man with captivating eyes and a dangerous smirk that could charm the devil himself.
Standing next to him are gunmen and two large menacing dogs guarding him. 
Another group of gentlemen join him before they all enter your dad's office, a forbidden ground for you.
-
After a while, everyone exits the house's entrance door and leaves, but the silver-haired man stays longer. 
You have seen him before; he is your daddy's boss.
Sometimes, they have meetings, and whenever he is at the house, they get you all cute-looking and rushed downstairs.
He always asks for you and handles you expensive gifts every visit.
You get distracted by him bringing you cake; all you want is a slice. The merengue looks delicious and smells like vanilla.
Your dad and the man come closer to you. He greets you brusquely, caressing your cheek.
Now that you are near him, you look terrified at the two scary Dobermans monitoring your every move.
—They don't bite unless I command them to —He looks at the muscular animals. —So be a nice girl —he jokes with you. 
You reach closer to your dad's leg, trying to hide behind it, but he neither pats nor reassures you.
—Status on her training? —the silver-haired man asks.
—She is about to start it, sir.
—When it gets done, send her to me —he instructs with an authoritarian voice but nonchalant. 
He brushes his hand on your hair before he heads out of the big, beautiful wooden entrance door.
-
As the days go by, you start to spend more and more time studying with your governess.
That cruel woman seems to be under such stress of quickly teaching you many things, so she behaves even more viciously. 
Your German, French, and English lessons feel too much for your little brain. No six-year-old should feel this pressure on herself; all you want to do is play. 
You get moody and start to cry, not being able to take it more; you are tired!
Suddenly, you feel a painful sting on your cheek; your dad slapped you hard for whining. —Stop crying, behave! —He commands you.
And you do so.
-
You are in the staff's kitchen, sitting on a high barstool, legs swinging in the air, while the cook prepares the meal. 
You ask her to make you a sandwich, but she tells you you are no longer allowed bread or carbs. 
That kitchen leads outdoors to the massive gardens by a backdoor; it's a vast property. 
Another prominent building sits right across the field, in the distance, behind some bushes and trees.
You are not allowed out, and you are not allowed to go near there. 
But you are a curious and strong-willed girl, after all. 
You peek through the window and see two little boys and girls walking from room to room inside the other property. You want to go and play with them, as you are always among grown-ups.
The cook follows your gaze and rushes you out of the kitchen and back to the living area.
-
It's late at night, and you wake up to the sound of your stomach growling. 
The house is so quiet, as everyone is sleeping, and it's the perfect moment for you to sneak to get ice cream. 
You risk going to the kitchen after your curfew because you feel hungry from the small portions they have given you lately. 
For some reason, they have been measuring and weighing you daily.
You navigate the large house's hallways, avoiding making a sound. Your steps softly creak on the wooden floors unnoticed, which is why you are barefoot, which is also not allowed.
You finally make it to the kitchen and, on your tiptoes, take the big bucket of ice cream out of the freezer and to the countertop. 
You are short for your age, which makes you look younger and even more adorable. You are such a cute, tiny girl.
You hop on the stool and eat the chocolate ice cream straight from the bucket with a big spoon, licking it; chocolate goes all over your collar and lips.
If the governess saw you doing this, she would lock you in the closet. She had done it before and made you spend an entire night there for disobedience. 
You cried hard for your dad. That place was cold and dark, but he never showed up.
You catch movement with the corners of your eyes outside the large window into the garden's bushes, the same window from which you peeked out earlier.
A small shadow moves quickly, and you get a bit scared, but curiosity makes you reach closer to the window's glass, your nose almost touching it. It feels cold, it must be freezing outside.
You catch a small girl hiding in the bushes and dropping to the dirt quickly as she notices you. 
The door to the outside is just steps away. What if you go help her? She looks distressed and must be cold! 
You know you are not allowed to, yet you go. 
You expect the door to be locked, but you open it easily.
You hear a soft beep as you set foot outside on the deck. Then the alarm goes off, and the motion detection lights turn on; they are so strong they blind you. 
You watch the little girl run to the forest as fast as she can. You try to go after her when you feel a firm grip pulling you from the hair and throwing you back into the kitchen. 
You hit the floor hard, sliding in.
You see a pair of black combat boots about to kick you in the stomach when your dad's voice screams very loud. 
—Don't get her scratch! She's valuable! —the man immediately stops mid-kick with a yes, sir.
You watch the other guards drag violently the little girl back inside the other building. 
You barely hear her indistinct screams in the distance. As you lose sight of her, you think she is begging for her mother, and then the door gets violently slammed close in front of you and locked down this time.
-
You don't understand what is happening but remember feeling freaked out that day. 
You then recall how scared you used to feel every single day back in those times.
-
They leave you for two days inside that dark closet with no food and no water as punishment.
-
The following month, the governess tells you she has finished her job with you but informs you that your training is set to start. 
You don't get what she means by "training."
Then, she leaves the study room and returns with a boy about two years older than you. 
You quickly get happy to see someone close to your age and not another adult. You have been raised among them.
The boy looks rigid and lost in the eye as he approaches you. 
When he is standing before you, he pulls you closer and kisses you on the mouth. You giggle at the sensation. It feels funny!
But you see nothing wrong with this, you like the contact since you have never been held like that.
These lessons last for several weeks. They get weirder and more touch-y each time. 
-
When winter arrives, it starts to snow outside. You are cozy sleeping in bed, hugging your teddy plushie under your warm blanket. 
The fireplace creeks and heats the room when you hear heavy footsteps outside your bedroom door before it opens.
A big, bulky guy picks you up from the bed, still wrapped in the blanket, waking you up. He carries you down the hallway, heading with you down the stairs.
There, you see your dad, for the last time, on your way to the SUV with tinted black windows parked right outside the front door. 
-
It turns out that man wasn't your father, nor was this your actual home.
-
You remember feeling increasingly nervous as the car gets further away from the property. All you think about is Bon-bon and the baby. 
You cry.
You are sent to the Serbian ring, where your price is high for obvious reasons. You overhear the man who takes you there sound delighted at how high your bid went. 
You don't understand a thing.
-
Two days later, they fly you to a high-end hotel bungalow in Bali, where an older man expects you. 
They make him read some papers with terms and things he is suggested not to do to you since this type of man doesn't like the phrase "not allowed to," and he agrees. 
The chaperone then closes the room door behind you, leaving you alone with him.
You don't know what to do next, so you watch him remove his tie and shoes as he points you to the bed. 
As an obedient and collected girl, you get in there. 
-
This man paid in advance for an entire year of your services and exclusivity, which is an enormous amount of money. 
They make you meet with him always in different countries and locations until he gets bored of your body and moves to the next younger new girl.
After that, they return you to the market, and you visit the ring again, this time in Turkey. 
-
You were supposed to live in several security houses when you weren't traveling around the globe to meet your owners, which never happened to you. 
They rotate them constantly, and cameras and microphones are everywhere, so the other girls and boys cannot interact. 
It doesn't matter much anyway. 
-
With time, you learn that the more money you make them, the better things go for you. 
Soon, you discover you are one of the privileged ones since Lenkov, the silver-haired man from childhood, is infatuated with you and asks for you whenever he wants you. 
He is a scum.
—If you weren't so good for my business, I do have you living here with me full time like one of my dolls —the fit older man tells you while inhaling coke from the tits of a busty teenager. 
While another underage girl like you sits in his lap wearing a tiny bikini, five of them are in there fighting for his attention and petting him all around at his open-floor mansion by the sea in Punta Cana, where he currently lives. You are the youngest one in there.
Lenkov has many places and doesn't stay in one longer, and the girls he likes for his sick enjoyment only get to follow him all around.
It's a better type of prison to be at; you get to learn, and it's way better than getting bid off in the rings.
At least with him, you know what to expect.
-
Lenkov hosts one of his infamous parties as a goodbye to Punta Cana, which is full of powerful and corrupt guests. 
Drugs, alcohol, and a bunch of underage girls and boys are there at their disposition and for everyone's enjoyment, all if they pay, of course! 
Bricks of money and bags full of rolls are on several surfaces.
After your previous owner passed away in a very sketchy way, you are pretty sure he got himself poisoned.  
Lenkov ordered that they broght you so he can enjoy your body during the weekend and for your attendance at the party since a couple of Arab princes and some Serbian moguls will be there, and he wants you to work your way with them.
-
A very stoic, tall, and older man in an expensive suit sits, legs crossed, in the expensive armchair next to Lenkov. 
He looks you up from afar, his eyes traveling every inch of your skin. 
You know how to read a room by this point in your life. So you get closer and slowly twirl for him.
—She —he turns to tell the silver-haired man, looking at you, and Lenkov nods, allowing it.
There he was, your new owner. 
God, you hated that word. You weren't a thing to be own; you were a person, even if they didn't treat you like one.
-
When your chaperone opens the door to a massive suite in Dubai, you are surprised to be greeted by a tall, gorgeous, muscular man with piercing blue eyes, dark, wavy hair, and great skin. 
He is big and athletic. You would find him extremely attractive if he wasn't this sick person. 
After being with many 50-plus-year-olds, a 33-year-old feels young enough for you. Even if he is not, you are only 14 by this point. 
Well, you have been told you are. 
Since you don't own a passport or credentials, you don't know exactly who you are, how old you are, where you come from, or anything about yourself.
He agrees to the terms presented to him, and then, as usual, you are left alone with him. 
Either they go all over you immediately, asking you to take your clothes off in an instant or foreplay a bit before demanding you to go straight to the bed.
But none of the listed happens this time. 
He returns to his laptop, where he seems busy working. Of course, he didn't forget about you. He was totally ignoring you. 
It's always tricky with these guys! They are often arrogant, violent, controlling, or power-obsessed and challenging to read or act around. 
But, unfortunately for you, you have enough experience dealing with all those types. 
So you take off your dress, revealing your tiniest lingerie, and against your will, as usual, approach him, showing off your body. 
You get into his lap, placing yourself on his crotch. 
You don't want problems, and you know what happens to girls who get a "bad review" to say it like that.
He stops reading what's on his screen, getting distracted by you, then turns to grab his jacket and offers it to you. —No need for any of that —he tells you. 
And you put his coat on. 
It looks so big on you, covering your whole body. You move to sit on the sofa near him. 
Dead silence. 
He couldn't care less about you.
—Sir, I'm all okay? Is there a way I can pleasure you? If I'm doing something wrong, please let me make it up to you —you freak out as you notice the time of your session is running out; you don't want trouble.
—I didn't hire you —he says, still typing and looking busy. That takes you off guard. He looks straight at you with those fierce blue eyes, frowning.
—Pardon?
—My sick father gave you to me as a "forgive me" present —he lets out with disdain. —I don't get how he is okay with this stuff. I'm not too fond of paid girls or STDS. I'm not into the young ones.
—I'm very clean, I get tested all the ti-
—So, how does this shit work? —he interrupts you, not caring about what you are saying. —I read on paper that a titanium package was paid. Even the name sounds absurd!
You look at him collected, avoiding saying a dumb thing, being extremely careful with each word.
—It means I'm exclusive to your enjoyment, and you have me ten sessions before acquiring the package again if I please you, that I promise I-
—I see —he again interrupts your rehearsed speech.
You hear soft knocks in code on the door. It means Fran, your chaperone, of course you know that isn't his real name, is waiting for you.
You get your dress back on, and he walks you to the door.
Before reaching it, he suddenly pushes you into a rough and intense kiss, messing your hair and fucking your lipstick, biting open your lip, and, in a powerful movement, tearing your dress a little bit, taking you by surprise.
Fran opens the door at your lack of response and quickly apologizes, witnessing some of the action. —I didn't mean to interrupt, sir.
—No worries, I'm done with her —he says deadpan, pushing you out with a big slap in the ass.
-
This goes on for the subsequent sessions. 
He doesn't touch you more than what is required to pretend you two did the thing. He is clever at keeping appearances.
-
—So, as long as I have you under my power, I can take my time to have our "sessions," right?
—Yes, sir, but not that much.
—Good, that gains us little time.
He asks you one night while looking out of the panoramic windows, sipping his coñac. 
Damn, he is muscular and hot.
—Feel free to use the suite amenities. You are not allowed out of the room, correct?
—Oh no, I'm not —you confirm quickly, not wanting to get in serious trouble. Guards parol you, so there's no way you could get out even if you tried.
-
He renews his package with you without touching or disrespecting you in any way. 
Every time you meet him, you expect him to ask you to return the favor. Your life experiences have made you wary and distrustful.
But he doesn't.
-
—Yes?! —he looks your way. You have been staring at him for five minutes. He is not the most tender-speaking person.
—I'm sorry, I wasn't, I-
—It's alright, you can talk.
—No worries, you seem busy.
—Go straight to the point or remain shut up —he dislikes wasting time.
—Why are you doing this? —you venture to ask. —I'm not trying to sound ungrateful. I'm more than thankful to you, sir.
—Don't call me sir; it makes me feel dirty —he drops himself on the sofa beside you, giving himself time off from work, stretching. —I get what you are going through. I'm in a prison of my own, too.
You remain quiet a little bit, pensive to open your mouth, knowing you can trust no bitch, but this feels different. So you trust your gut. —What do you mean?
—My father got my family, me included... —he stands to pour himself another glass of coñac and offers you one. You aren't allowed to drink unless they offer you, so you accept it. —...dragged into his illicit business, sadly, we have no way out now.
—I think I met him once from afar. No disrespect, but he seems harsh.
—You can disrespect him all you want. I hate my father; he is a scumbag, he got my brother locked up and murdered in jail, and my mother is also dead, thanks to him. So now it's just us.
Silence.
—Are you in any danger? —you ask, honestly concerned.
—Worried about your situation?
—No si- shit! —you quickly correct yourself. —Sorry, what do I call you?
—Pascal, that's my real name, by the way. As you can see, I don't care much, and yes! I'm always in danger, not imminent, but still, it's a dangerous game I'm playing.
—You are kind to me, that's why I asked. I don't know my real name, so I have no name you can call me.
—I can think of a couple of ones —he makes an innuendo, and by your shocked expression, he quickly adds. —I'm joking! I'm kidding!
You laugh for the first time in God knows how long.
Knocks come on the door.
-
That goes on until Lenkov becomes possessive of you and warns him that this is the last time Pascal is allowed to acquire your package, and he won't steal you away from him.
—I'm not planning to do so, Lenkov, it's just that pussy is so good, and I don't know how to quit it —he lies.
Lenkov smiles at him with an "I get it" expression before asking him for an obscene amount of money.
Pascal agrees to it, but only if he is allowed to have you for more time, for an entire year.
—A million, and it's a deal.
—But if she stays with me in London...
—She will be not allowed out of the apartment, I will place snipers, and if you try to trick me, I will slight her throat in front of you and then yours. A million and a half, and it's done.
Pascal pays for it.
-
He welcomes you to your new home with a glass of champagne.
—To the birthday girl.
—What?!
—Today is your birthday. According to your birth certificate, here, it's your gift.
—Is this real?! —tears fill your eyes. He nods, and then Pascal looks taken aback when you give him the warmest hug he has ever received. 
He doesn't know what to do until he relaxes and hugs you back.
—I could sleep with you right now! —you say, and you quickly add by the shocked expression he gives you. —I'm joking! I'm kidding. Ah! I'm one year older than I thought! But how did you get this?!
—I have something to confess to you, and it's the reason why I moved you here with me —he sounds serious and looks stern; he hesitates before continuing. 
You start thinking about the worst possible outcome. Here comes the part that goes bad for you. 
—A few months ago, I made contact with Interpol.
—Oh, please, I'm, look, I, I rather not —you mumble and start to panic, fearing for your life.
—I see. I may die after this —Pascal lets out.
—You what?! —you panic.
—It doesn't matter. Yeah, it's better you stay out of it.
—If it threatens your life, then I'm in! —you sound so assured that he looks shocked.
—Why would you...? —he starts asking.
You jump in. —Risk my life for yours? Anyday! You are the only good thing that has ever happened to me —Pascal looks at you with an expression you cannot read.
—This guy I got in contact with has been pursuing Lenkov for some time and plotting his downfall.
—This guy?! Wasn't the Interpol?!
—Well, yes, he used to work for them...
—Oh god, how are you sure he is not setting you up and wh- —you panic again.
He calms you down and quickly explains. —He is the most annoying guy ever, but it's legit. He started his own organization and has the best of the best working for him, and that's why he moved the Lenkov case with him and left Interpol to work it on his own; it's personal to him.
—Have you met with him?
—Just on the phone, many, many times.
—I don't like this.
—I promise you he is legit and has resources. He was the one who got me your birth certificate. All he is asking from us in return is to act as a witness in case all goes well and we get Lenkov on trial.
—And what's in this for you? I'm sorry for judging you, but my life has taught me some lessons. You aren't in this just because you want my freedom, right?
—To whistleblow my father and expose his business with Lenkov, and make them both rot in prison.
—You are going to get us murdered!
Pascal starts worrying about you bailing out, judging your fear and panic.
He is getting ready to start working you out when you suddenly calm down.
—But what do I have to lose? This is no life, and if I can help to protect you, other girls, and boys and gain my freedom along the way, I will.
Lenkov sends people to check on you two occasionally without previous notice, trying to catch in any weird move and have an excuse to move you back with him.
It comes to his attention that according to the people he sends there, they never seem to interrupt you in sexual activities, enraging him.
-
You are cozy on the couch watching TV when Pascal's deep voice grabs your attention.
—Listen, whenever someone from my "dad's business," aka my job, comes here, or we aren't alone, no matter if it's the help service, I need you to play along and pretend we are in a sexual relationship. We need to keep appearances and have the word spread. 
—Why? —you start feeling concerned. —Did something happen?
—Don't stress about it —he dismisses it. —Just so you know.
-
—Y/N, you are right. You are not being paranoid —you have been feeling observed by people looking from the building across for some days now. —Probably Lenkov moved some people to one of the apartments in front. They are watching us now.
Pascal pretends to enjoy a drink while looking out of the floor-to-ceiling windows to the skyscraper in front of yours. 
—Moving out is no option for us —you add, feeling nauseous. Months have passed since you started living peacefully with Pascal at this place you now call home.
—We need to engage more, then —he sounds grim.
—If we close the curtains but keep the lights on, maybe we could dry hump for them. Silhouettes may work.
—Have the men you have been with ever cared enough to close the curtains? 
—No. I get it. It's going to look staged. They won't go away till they make sure.
He lets an exasperated sigh and smashes his glass on the floor.
You instinctively jump. —Listen, I have done it before, we could... —you go all red.
—No.
-
After several days of noticing him consumed by the situation's stress, you cross the distance between you and gift him your first kiss. 
Obviously, it's not your first physical kiss, but the first one that feels real.
You kiss him all the way to the bedroom. 
Where Pascal makes love to you in a missionary position, all flesh in full display and bodies moving in rhythm for them to witness. 
After you cowgirl him, he takes you in doggy style till you cum from pleasure for the first time ever while moaning his name.
You completely forget that you were doing it for the men watching you at a distance, secretly shooting photos without you noticing before they have them printed and delivered to Lenkov.
-
There is a slight shift after that night. 
The interactions between you two become more tender; there are more accidental touches and sweet looks, along with some cuddling, but nothing sexual ever happens again after the Lenkov people leave you alone.
Not even a kiss.
-
Three months later, as you grow impatient every day since you know your year agreement is near its end, Pascal informs you that this guy wants to implement the plan.
Next week, a massive raid on the Lenkov rabbit holes, properties, and security homes will occur. People are going to get arrested and youngsters rescued. You are on the list.
The difference with you is that you will immediately be moved to Belgium to the Little Heroes Global headquarters to testify and for them to prepare you for court.
-
It's a Wednesday morning, the first time you talk to this guy on the phone. 
He sounds young, but his tone is too solemn. He informs you that Pascal was the critical piece he needed to deploy his long, elaborate plan; he and his team have spent years trying to get Lenkov.
Now that you have all the knowledge and information he needs to take him down, it is all good to go.
It's the first of many calls you two exchange, and you eventually become incredibly familiar with his voice.
-
The day that "Operation Lina" arrives, you are so nervous. 
Everything is going according to the plan. 
But then, as a lot of commotion happens outside your apartment door, Pascal bolts to his feet and places you behind his body, protecting you.
A SWAT team bursts in, knocking the door down. Pascal looks at you, confused at the violence, but you see him smile for the first time in all the time you have met him. 
—That's the sound of your freedom —he addresses you, briefly resting his temple on yours. You want so desperately to kiss his lips.
Then the SWAT team moves quick on their feet, guns up to approach you, or that you think so.
Unexpectedly, they pinned Pascal in a violent move against the floor. He hits his head hard in the process.
—What are you doing!? —you start screaming and kicking as they push you out of the way. You go insane as they keep dragging him away from you. —LEAVE HIM YOU FUCKERS! You are hurting him! This wasn't part of the plan!
They yank him down the apartment entrance hallway, and you fight your way to follow along, demanding to know where they are taking him, screaming and kicking.
—PASCAL! —You are desperately calling for him at the top of your lungs. 
When you feel a hand softly rub you on your shoulder, you turn around, expecting the worst, to see Lenkov standing there, so you violently remove the hand from you and, with all your force, push the guy against the hallway wall.
—Easy! Easy! —that familiar voice tells you. —He is going to be okay, I will make sure —a kid slightly older than you is standing before you, his beautiful blue eyes are set on you.
—Are you!? —you let out in barely a whisper. You can't believe your eyes; he can't be that young!
—Yes —he starts fixing himself. —You are strong. Mathew De Vos —he offers you his hand.
—Why the fuck are you betraying him like that?! —you start immediately fighting with him, which, funny enough, becomes a habit for you two.
—I'm not! Listen, in one of the raids inside of one of Lenkov's drawers at his office desk, there were photos of you and Pascal, you know, explicitly engaging in some illegal acts.
—But that's not! He didn't ra-! I consent to it, AND it was just because Lenvok people were watching us ove-
—I believe you. I'm not happy to lose one of my biggest witnesses, but it's still a crime. Due to cooperation, we can offer him a good deal, so Pascal will be alright, I promise you.
—How do I know I can trust you?!
—I'm here, as I promised I will. Let's go. The quicker we get this done, the faster you will win back your freedom!
-
Days later, Mat informs you he moved his influences to get a particular trial for Pascal and that he ended up with just domestic arrest in Budapest, ankle monitor and all.
But that you won't be able to see him, probably ever again. You are only allowed to talk to him on the phone.
-
Lenkov corrupts his way out of the situation. To both your fury, you have never seen a man so furious as Mathew that day; you almost felt like running away from him as soon as possible, but this unexpected outcome forces you into a witness protection program.
Mathew offers you a place to stay until things get sorted out, a stay that will last for years to come.
-
—The obvious aside, duh, why did Mathew want to take Lenkov down? —Seb asks, his voice husky. 
It's cold and late at night, around 5 a.m., and by this point of the story, you are already wrapped around Seb's arms, sharing the soft blanket on the couch as he plays nervously with your golden bracelet. 
Seb has remained empathic and supportive, listening to your life story.
—Mat got scarred by that same man. Victor, Mat's father, was just solidifying "Heroes Global" after building it to protect minors, legally advise victims and their families, and help intelligence agencies dismantle traffic rings when he was the first person to discover the real business behind Lenkov's legal facades—you explain. Seb's eyebrows go to the roof, and his eyes look sad.
—As Mat was dealing with becoming an orphan, his team found out the helicopter crash that killed his parents, well, his dad mostly, wasn't an accident. Mathew's mom has been in a coma for years with no hope of recovering, but she is still with us, thank God. 
—Are you a believer?
—Yes. God sent Mat to me. He means the world to me, Seb. He really does, even with all that implies. It's the only family I have. Even in our worst moments, I have never not loved him. He gave me a chance and a better life than I had ever imagined.
—It's good to know —Mat's voice takes you both by surprise, making you un-cuddle and turn to him. He walks inside the room before standing before you, hands inside his soft pajama bottoms, shirtless.
—Where did those abs come from, ancient Greece? —Seb can't help but peek as he jokes. He looks good.
As soon as I found out Lenkov did it and what he really was, I took the basis of Heroes Global and founded Little Heroes Global, working with Interpol. Did you know, Sebastian Vettel, that this girl right here is the foundation's vice president? he asks in the voice of a quiz host while pointing at you.
—I begged Mat to let me stay and work with them as soon as I was freed, I wanted to help others, but I was an illegal here in Belgium, with no papers and in need of a citizen permit and a passport.
—Also under age —Matt adds. So, I wasn't able to marry her to fix all of that thing at once, but as soon as we could, we did, I stayed true to my word of taking care of her.
—It wasn't a romantic or traditional wedding —you explain.
—Just transactional, sign here, sign this, sign there —Mat adds.
—Do you ever?
—Yes —you both answer at the same time.
Dead silence.
—But you two need to go to bed, to sleep, I mean. On another occasion, Y/N may tell you all about us; I prefer my version, though. Feel free to stay over Vettel. Just respect my roof —he winks before leaving, implying to be discreet with sex if there is to be. 
Sebastian goes all red. To be continued... < Previous chapter | Masterlist | Next chapter >

okai renfield 2023 thoughts: the critical consensus is correct, this is not a very good movie, but I found it a lot of fun and if you're a dracula enjoyer who doesn't mind constant action scenes that are gory to the point of farce then I'd recommend giving it a watch.
and for some longer thoughts (ft spoilers):
not a whole lot of black characters for a movie that takes place in new orleans.
I liked how they leaned into the bela lugosi pastiche, they really went for it with dracula's design and the few re-made scenes, I found that really fun.
like many other tumblr users I have Problems with the way "narcissism" has entered the pop psychology lexicon, but I like the overall premise of reading dracula as a very mundane and recognizable kind of abusive boss.
I don't think this could have been handled well in a movie like this so I'm glad they didn't go for it, but I personally think there was room to do something interesting if they had adapted in renfield's psychosis. like, psychotic people are particularly vulnerable to getting trapped in abusive relationships and dracula wields a lot of "the outside world will hate you, only I truly care" over renfield's head, I think a more indie project with a similar premise could have really gotten into the weeds with that and said something meaningful about ableism and this "simpering minion" archetype which renfield has been assigned by pop culture.
I don't usually care about this too much but I noticed some fairly poor shot-to-shot continuity across a few scenes. ex., before the restaurant fight kicks off, rebecca steps directly up to the barrel of ted's gun and almost presses it directly into her forehead in a big emphasized act of defiance, but when we cut to different angles she's standing a good few inches farther away.
there was some fun set up and pay off, ex. the ant farm, the cocaine magic circle.
I enjoyed the evil milf, I must say. wish we got more of her but she just kind of disappears at the end
the fight scenes bored me at first but eventually they crossed the gore event horizon and became hilarious. sure, the sense of stakes kind of gets lost when our protagonists are regularly dropping like twice the bodies of the antagonists, but more importantly, renfield ripped a guy's fucking arms off.
I am absolutely begging to know what the thought process was behind the quinc(e)y morris allusions. I would assume that the implication is that rebecca and her family were distantly related to book quincey somehow, but then why do they have his first name as a last name and not his actual last name? why was her dad called morris quincy? I am flummoxed.
would love to do a proper comparison with bit 2019, focusing on how they play with the dracula mythos and portray vampirism as power imbalance, but that would require brain cells and I am sorely deficient on those.
