also 17 for mabio? 🥺
17. to distract
Malaysia 2019.
Watching Marc pacing around the living room of his motorhome feels like watching a lion in his cage and right then, Fabio isn’t sure that he has in him what it would take to tame the beast.
Fabio wasn’t even supposed to be here. They don’t do Sundays together (not until the race is over, anyway). It feels a little silly to talk about habits already because what they have is so fresh and so new Fabio is constantly amazed about it and worrying about the bubble bursting.
Still, they each have their routine until the race. But on Wednesday night, the two of them in bed with Marc’s head pillowed on Fabio’s chest, he admitted : “I’m already stressed about Alex, I’m going to be insufferable to watch the race with.”
Fabio chuckled and scratched the curls at the base of Marc’s skull. “Good thing I don’t have to be there with you, then, I’ll be praying for your team, though,” he said. And then, Marc raised his head and the question hadn’t escaped his lips yet that Fabio knew he couldn’t refuse.
So now he’s here. He talked with Tom to figure out how to not fuck up his own schedule, went on the grid to give Tony his usual words of encouragement and then joined Marc to watch the Moto3 race with him, the podium currently showing on the screen, Italian anthem playing in the background.
“Marc,” Fabio calls. He almost thinks that Marc is not going to hear him, too focused on his own thoughts, but he does stop moving, turning towards Fabio. “Come here.”
Fabio extends one hand up from where he’s sitting on the couch. It’s just the two of them for now. Alex is getting ready in his box and Marc’s team (including his father) is in the Honda garage where Marc will join them after watching the start and the first couple of laps with Fabio.
(At some point it does need to be a family thing, especially when cameras will be there to film them. Fabio is still surprised that he was asked by Marc’s side for that extended amount of time but he cherishes the moment anyway.)
Marc seems to hesitate for an instant, almost reluctant to stop his silly pacing, but then he starts moving, joining Fabio and letting Fabio tug him down until he’s straddling him and Fabio has one hand on Marc’s jaw, thumb brushing his bottom lip.
Fabio closes the gap between them. Marc is very much not an active participant in that first kiss but he chases Fabio’s mouth for an additional peck and rests their foreheads together after Fabio pulls away.
“Sorry, I know I’m not the best company right now,” Marc mumbles after a sigh.
Fabio smiles. Marc wasn’t nearly as nervous before Thailand a couple of weekends ago and that was his first chance at securing the title this year. It’s cute how much more stressed he gets for Alex. Might be something about the lack of control over the situation, Fabio can understand that.
“So I’ve been warned,” Fabio says before gently kissing Marc again. One of his hands finds Marc’s waist, holding him, and the other goes to Marc’s nape, his thumb rubbing the skin there. “How many turns in Sepang?”
Fabio fights not to smile at Marc’s frown. “I’ve been here like 10 times before, I know the circuit.”
Fabio kisses the corner of Marc’s mouth. He was at home in 2011 and he was in the paddock in 2015. He knows that Marc has some shitty memories here and could use some new good ones.
“I know you do,” Fabio says, drawing back just a little when Marc tries to chase his mouth again. “So, how many turns?”
Marc first huffs and then he says, “15. 5 left-handers, 10 right-handers.”
Fabio uses his hold on Marc’s neck to kiss him properly this time. Marc follows him, his hands slipping under Fabio’s shirt while his tongue pushes at the inseam of Fabio’s lips.
When they part, a quick look at the clock on the wall tells Fabio they still have a good 15 minutes to go before the warm-up lap of the Moto2 race.
“Walk me through the circuit. Tell me which sections are the most critical.”
“Now you’re just trying to have tips to beat me.”
Fabio tilts his head to the side, thumb still drawing mindless patterns against Marc’s neck. “What if I am?”
They share a look, silence filling the room for just a couple of seconds, and then Marc laughs. He squeezes Fabio’s waist once just because he can before he goes, “Well, 1 and 2 are slow corners, you know how to take those. You’re gonna have to take advantage of them to compensate for what the long straights will give to the Ducatis.”
Fabio has no doubt that Marc has seen through him now but he’s no longer pacing a hole through the floor and his heart feels calm against Fabio’s chest so, he deems the distraction a success.

24/8 — skz.
Tumblr media
“time flows in the same way for all human beings; all human beings flow through time in a different way.” - yasunari kabawata, beauty and sadness
Tumblr media
i think it’s safe to say we’ve all been awake on each hour the day has to offer.
i’m not talking about all-nighters where you’re awake for almost all 24. i mean midnights at cafes, parties reaching the early hours of the day, and the ‘oh fuck, is that the sun?’ moments after realizing you haven’t slept a wink yet...again. basically, just the concept of being physically awake both in daylight and on hours that you shouldn’t be. 
this is 24/8, a stray kids drabble collab hosted by yours truly. the prompt for this is simple: where are you during these hours if you aren’t asleep? 
Tumblr media
guidelines for writing.
˗ˏˋ following the prompt, you can write about anything that could happen in the time you have chosen. you could write about being half-asleep at a 24-hour food chain after a concert at 1AM, or getting tailed by the police at 4, or calling in sick at 9 when you don’t feel like it, or staying after hours at the office or at school in the early evening. as long as both mc and the member are awake, it’s cool. 
˗ˏˋ additionally, in-fic pairings should only be member x reader or member x oc. no member x member, please. 
˗ˏˋ as this is a drabble collab, typical timestamps are okay (theme literally revolves around it). however, reactions and headcanons are not allowed.
˗ˏˋ all themes are welcome so long as they are labelled accordingly. smut and suggestive content are allowed, however i do not condone smut written by minors, writing with themes of pedophilia, incest, noncon or dubcon.
˗ˏˋ as i didn’t want to put much pressure on conceptualizing an hour-long (in-fic) story, the fics should be as short as possible. there will be no minimum word count but there will be a not-so-mandatory cap max which will be 2k words. i will not be that strict with the limit though. feel free to write as much or as little as you want so long as you do not stray (*wink) from the theme.
˗ˏˋ the deadline of entries will be on june 30, 2022. should you feel the need for an extension, please let me know via ask or dm!
Tumblr media
how to join.
˗ˏˋ pick any of the available time slots listed below and pick a member (there are 3 slots each!) then send me an ask or dm stating the two and await for my confirmation.
˗ˏˋ please reblog this post so we can fill in all the spots. i know 24 is a huge number to fill up for 8 members but i’m still lowkey hoping that we could.
˗ˏˋ tag me on your fic when you post it so i can reblog and add it to the masterlist!
