#the 4 shops stuff... i understand. but i wish we were told beforehand. and i wish there weren't inconsistencies within how they work
Note
The fact that looking into technical failures to understand the businesses we are patronizing (and let's be clear every bit of money sent DnP's way means you Are Doing Business With Them in the literal sense) is far from negativity aside... I don't think we should have a knee jerk reaction against anything negative being said as a rule, because that's how you end up platforming and pedestialising horrible things just because your favourite celebrity does them. Like, we need to bring back an understanding of when negativity is "uncalled for" (to do with things that are none of our business as consumers, audiences, and patrons, or otherwise to do with personal/harmless stuff) and when it isn't uncalled for, otherwise we create an expectation of just never being allowed to criticise anything, from the quality of the works presented to us, to quality of service with merch, to collabs with harmful partners, and eventually to misuse of a massive platform for nefarious ends.
Thankfully dnp have had way more integrity than most exploitative content creators out there. But that's certainly in part due to mutual respect between audience and creators and if we start hand wringing about small criticisms we will not be able to maintain that mutual respect and make ourselves easy to exploit.
Not to go on a big rant or anything, I just feel it should be stated that criticisms aren't always bad faith, and it's good that we have people in this fandom (like yourself ❤️) willing to hold some stuff to account where it's important+ where it concerns us directly
~ 🪴
"let's be clear every bit of money sent DnP's way means you Are Doing Business With Them in the literal sense" EXACTLY. and their business decisions affect us, unfortunately.
thank you so much for saying all of this, Hazel. phandom has a weird relationship with criticism. i experienced it more than once, unfortunately (did it teach me anything? no, i'm still here. rip to my mental health). for some reason a lot of people think that if you criticise what dnp do, you automatically criticise and dislike them as people. which couldn't be further from the truth. i try to criticise their work and actions related to their work, not them personally. the same goes for Matryn and his work. and if in the end something gets fixed or just a little bit better, i try to comment on that as well. i like seeing progress. like today with wad merch. i will update my post about irl merch, because i mentioned 9 months to gather the merch from all over the world. but Dan found other way, and that's great! only he confused us with "many weeks" and "i will try" before that.
i realise that maybe a breakdown post (or two) would be better than making 10 about basically the same thing. it's emotions. merch stuff is a rollercoaster. i haven't felt so many completely opposite emotions in a long time. and some of them are ending up on my blog in a form of criticism and yelling.

this week -
1. ive been doing a LOT better - that’s one of the good things about my madness - i go down very quickly but also rebound pretty fast. i think the one thing that bothers me is the memory of when things were bad for like a good year, and there was no rebounding, just a slow crawl out of the worst of it. HOWEVER - I haven’t been like long-term non-functional in literally like 10y and i think it’s probably a mistake to worry so much about the possibility of the next breadown being The Next Big One bc i think my life is so different now to when it was back then that it’s unlikely to become quite so bad anyway
2. not having a wall is really bothering me tho. one of my long-term obsessive thoughts is about the cat’s safety - i get very obsessive about the idea that she might somehow get trapped outside, which even when we had a garden wall to separate her from the road was a problem, so now w/o the wall it’s 10x worse lol. no idea when it’ll be fixed and she’ll be able to go outside again - the builder has to do another project first so we’re in limbo until then. i get very fixated on the idea that ben or ana will accidentally let her out and not notice and she’ll be cold / attacked by another cat / attacked by a fox :((( which is another facet of my obsessions tbh like this lack of ability to trust anyone apart from myself, like i have this really overinflated idea of my own responsibility / ability to keep the house safe (hence going around at night and unplugging everything, checking the front door, staring at my hair straighteners for about 10m, the usual) and like i wish i could just fucking stop bc i know ana and ben also love the cat and also like have brains?? and like keeping a cat inside is not rocket science! (+ hopefully even if she did get outside it would not end up in her death lol)
3. ben (kindly) told me that he finds it disheartening that it becomes an Issue every time we have to go and see his family, and that whilst he understands it’s not personal, it still feels bad. which is fair... i apologised about it bc i mean he is right + also he comes and sees my family w/ literally no complaint at all so yeah :/ having said this im a bit fuckin nervous about it now for imo legitimate reasons (i have accepted we’re going + that my problems dont constitute a reason to complain about seeing his family and am planning on being much less whiny about this in future) about this new fucking variant and like 10 mask-free people in one room hanging out, at least half of whom are in public-facing jobs. this is the first time since-covid so many of us would have been in a room - we’ve seen barely anyone since it all kicked off. the timing is bad. i know ben agrees w/ me about the concern bc he’s not an idiot, and he asked them on the GC last night if they can all test beforehand, but only one person responded so far and im a bit like :/ i feel uncomfortable about it bc i feel that after my complaints it definitely seems as tho im just trying to find reasons to not go. if they all test up beforehand im happy to go, but im a bit worried that a lot of them have not confirmed that they will, and idk, ill ask him what he thinks about that. bc his brother works in a shop, his mum works as a teacher, this new variant is supposed to be better at getting past vaccines? so im a bit like oooof this ... not great ... i feel like it’s reasonable to only go to a medium scale get-together if everyone tests neg beforehand? what do you guys think? but i dunno i guess at some point you also have to just do stuff... like you can’t entirely live under the shadow of stuff that might happen, including covid, and this is coming from someone who’s been INCREDIBLY careful the entire time
4. i have struggled w/ getting back to my wig work - im gonna start working properly again today bc im actually so behind. my site job also MAY be coming to an end in april - we will all have to reapply for the payment, and i don’t know, they may well feel it’s fairer to give someone a shot who hasn’t been paid for an entire year by that point. which i DO think is fair, and i would understand it, but i would have to take a MASSIVE step back from the site, and it feels kinda grim if they essentially fire their One Woman, given that ive done everything asked of me and am always well-ranked in the monthly numbers. i will probably make this clear in the reapplication - that i will not be around if there is no money. not bc i don’t care but bc i do not have the time. couple of things are working in my favour tho in that ive already proven myself to be a good member of the team + also that im one of the most highly-ranked people there in terms of permissions, so i can do everything rather than some more lowly-ranked people who can only do a few things. also you know. i feel like they would be aware of how bad it would look to let their one woman go honestly? bc they handwring a lot about the woman situation, so im curious how this will play out, bc to me it seems blindingly obvious that a lack of access to resources is one of the main reasons why more women dont hang out there. so im curious if they are gonna actually apply that logic and keep paying me.
#btw since that dude got fired ive been feeling more able to work there again#it's amazing how one guy's presence/absence can be so powerful

I accidentally fell asleep for an hour when I got home from work today. So I’m assuming falling asleep tonight is not going to be great or it will be fine either way.
Today it was good. I slept alright last night but had trouble getting up this morning. So I ended up waking up a bit late. Not that it actually mattered because late was still 10 minutes before 7.
I didn’t eat breakfast but I did pack a lot of snacks because I was planning on driving to DC for work. But what ended up happening was Laura switched with me and she drove. So I end up staying in the shop by myself for a few hours. It was a whole thing because the office decided to add a pick up after the drop off and that would have added a whole lot of time and since I had to leave at 2 I couldn’t drive anymore. I don’t think Laurel super thrilled about that but it all worked out in the end.
It was nice working alone in the shop for a few hours I mostly worked on cleaning the last of the job we’ve been working on. And I started organizing the next job. On my break I read my book which is very good. And I ate all the snacks I brought so I didn’t end up taking a lunch.
Making Laura got back around noon which was much earlier then we had planned and talked about. So I probably could have drove. But whatever. It was less stress on me to not have to drive.
In the new job that we’re working on I found a really really interesting book that is just pictures of golden era movie posters. And I want it. So I looked around online and I ended up figuring out that it’s worth about $150. But because I’m really good at the internet I found a copy that’s only slightly damaged for $8 on eBay. So I own that now.
I scheduled a Lyft to come and get me around 2. And I’m glad I did that but it also stressed me out having to wait to get confirmation that someone was coming for me. I don’t think I’ll do that again. When my driver did show up he could invited me because the GPS send him to the back of the building. But it was fine I had budgeted in enough time.
The place where my interview was was not what I expected or picture. It was inside of basically a big square office-type building. And there wasn’t much around that except for houses and other Square office buildings. I was still a few minutes early. The people were really nice their names were Dave, Zoe, and Vladimir which I loved. The interview itself went really well. I had to cut my hand right before I got in my Lyft and of course it’s the hand that I shake with. So I was trying not to Grimace everytime they shook my hand. But I don’t think they noticed that.
I got to tell a little bit of my life story and explain why I would want this job and how it is supplemental to my full-time job. Basically I’m hoping to work about 3 nights or parties a week which would increase my budget about $400 a month. Plus you get tips at this job which is pretty cool. I’ve never worked a job where you got tips before.
During the interview they had me go up on the little stage and sort of Play Act how I would teach a class but as I had told though I have never seen one of these classes before. And I didn’t quite understand how the teaching worked. So I kind of didn’t do it exactly correct but it helped me figure out what questions I had for them. I didn’t realize that I would paint a painting beforehand and then repaint it in front of the class while they paint it. Which is a really nice way to teach. But not exactly what I am used to from Art School. But I really like teaching by doing so I feel like it really works well for my style. We’ll see how my painting skills actually hold up for doing it in person.
They hired me on the spot I start on Sunday. They were very understanding that I can’t work any other weekends until the new year. And for the first 60 days I would be an assistant. So I wouldn’t exactly teach I would be hoping someone else teach. But that’s good because then I’ll at least understand a little bit more what they’re expecting for me.
My only real concern is the location. It’s not that it’s dangerous or anything. It’s very Suburban. But I’m not entirely sure the best way to get there. Today I took almost a $30 Lyft. And that is exactly how much I’d be begging a day so that doesn’t make any sense to do that. On the way back I took a lift to the light rail. Actually got on the wrong train the first time and had to backtrack. And that would work it said I don’t exactly know how to get to the light rail. There seems to be a red line bus and that might be my best bet. But depending on the time of day it looks like I could also take the green bus which is what I take the figure skating. So if I’m going directly from figure skating to this job that could be really convenient. I think it’s just something I’m going to have to feel out and figure a lot of trial runs. I’ll figure it out though. I’m going to try to take Lyft as little as possible to do it though.
The interview didn’t take care of my long and between that and my half hour train ride. Which was beautiful by the way, it’s right on the water. I got home around 4:15. The sun was even out! I talk to Jess about what I should do to celebrate getting a new job should I go get food or what. And I decided to save getting creeps for the weekend. And instead I went and picked up french fries and after stopping in the fancy little cafe just to look at what they had, I didn’t get anything, I went back home.
I made tacos and had my French fries. I listen to my podcast and then I decided I really need to lay down. Today has just been a lot of activity. I didn’t sleep right away I played on my phone. But I did end up falling asleep and I sort of just dozed until around 6. I set my alarm for 6:15 and did you get out of bed around that time. It was dark and I was a little befuddled because of the time and I thought the sun was getting up and I forgot what day it was. I made myself a milkshake and went and worked in my studio until around 8.
I made great progress on my sculpture I figured out how to make a little teeny tiny string lights. I definitely figure it out stuff I shouldn’t do with the next diorama like trying to paint over glue and foregoing sanding. It definitely led to a very bumpy look for some of this piece. But for a first go around I’m not disappointed. I think it has some charm to it and the only get better with time.
I took a bath and now I’m going to do my nails and then I’m going to go to sleep. I’m slightly concerned that I’m going to overload myself between art restoration, wine painting, this new project I’m working on with Jess, figure skating, and volunteering at the Walters. But I think it all work out. We’ll see how it goes if it’s too much I might need to step back from one thing the volunteering Maybe can just be a couple times a month. And not every weekend and the same with the painting class. I don’t really need it, I mean I do but I can make it work without it. We’ll see it’ll be fine either way I just sometimes wish that there was more hours in the day that I wasn’t exhausted and will have a car would solve some of the transportation issues it’s nice to have time to just sit on the train on the bus and I’ll have to think about stuff. A nice little break in between everything.
I hope you all sleep well tonight feel good and rested tomorrow.

In order to speak about love and also still create a socially appropriate metropolitan identification, musicians have a tendency to implement among the 5 successful love narrative types. No person understands situations like that, individuals cant deal with it, so they 'll talk regarding it for life. The woman attempting to offer me their latest phone plan offer described a television advert. She maintained me talking for roughly 10 mins during which time she referred me to this particular TELEVISION advert a more 4 times, as well as each time I ensured her I had actually not seen it since I don't watch television. Knitting can be picked up throughout the adverts and also operated at for 5 or 10 minutes at once. New yarns and fashionable pattern layouts make knitting fun and fast, and also I can weaved also if I am watching TV, albeit an uncommon occurence for me directly!

So, you can have hemorrhaging with a cyst yet many of the moment those are rare conditions. The endometriomas, if they persist, and also theres constant blood loss in the abdominal area as well as the ovary that can create attachments. Any bleeding cyst can be a problem. A pregnancy with a corpus luteum, the second kind of useful cyst goes on to establish as the baby is growing. The majority of these, the bigger blood products, the bigger capillary on cysts are typically the corpus luteum cyst. Many ovary cysts in as well as of themselves are not going to be creating a problem. Yet, the vital thing below, is that cysts themselves, in as well as of themselves are not mosting likely to be a trouble or harmful trouble. The nature of the party is most likely mosting likely to often tend towards the womanly side; if the coordinators of the event have a provision for this, after that inviting males would certainly be great. Indeed, there are numerous men as well as ladies who are making great loan using the internet organisation course. In this track, the poet makes use of the affective narrative to recognize that some males "dont be comin right ", but that he has a various assumption of ladies than these other males. Expected to aid with the pain, expected to help me preserve In this tune, Master uses the different story to share his sight of what love need to be. It is essential for the garments to be totally dry prior to they are put away or worn by a kid, and also hanging the clothes on kids clothes wall mounts will certainly assist maintain their type. Nonetheless, aspartame was enabled on 1981 for dry items as well as 1983 for carbonated beverages.
free baby stuff expecting mother
People made use of to exchange items and services for various other goods and also solutions before money was produced, and some individuals still barter today to avoid using loan (primarily for tax obligation reasons I am told). A few other wonderful services are a diaper service for fabric diapering mothers, or perhaps a diaper delivery solution for disposables, and spend for the first two weeks or a month well worth of diapering items. Also the colors used in the material should be natural and safe. You may be originally attracted by all the eye appealing shades as well as the fanciness of the outfits, but if your youngster is not mosting likely to like it, it is mosting likely to end up being pointless. Pyjamas as well as bodysuits for little child ladies can be found in all various colors as well as styles, and are made for all kinds of weather. A couple of pieces would certainly do - a set of babies suits, a set of shirts, a pair of jammies. At the same time, you can put a Tee shirts over their pajamas. They will secure as well as insure any cash you take into a financial savings account as well as pay you probably 3% annual passion on your deposit.

There are truly a whole lot of free offers readily available; you simply require to recognize how to look for them. Or search by chemical active ingredients (see listed here for some instances) and uncover what brands contain it. Next off, you will certainly reach your search results page web page; this is a listing of all products that fulfill your search requirements. Let us take a peek right into what makes these requirements a should for those parents shopping for baby clothing. Likewise, let your very first couple of roadway experiences instruct you what you require to have along. There are numerous very first time mommies available that have a great deal of info to show to you and also they do not want you to be without the details. They want to have gowns with breathable textile and also simple on the body. Is this what we have concerned, - everybody in our region watches the same adverts, the exact same programmes, the same newspaper article each and every single day or evening? Note: After attempting solitary foods, great mixes are potatoes and carrots or carrots as well as peas. And not only will I examine it for him, Ill make it appear like the Elvis of foods, since Im already rather sure that Ill love a hamdog. He likewise refers to his love interest as "this Ethiopian queen from Philly ", utilizing the imperial characterization so usual in spiritual love narratives. If you're truly strapped for cash money, then you can most likely make do with utilizing your bed as a transforming table, yet if you can, this is something I extremely suggest. Its far better to feed infant first thing in the morning, after that permit some play or remainder time in between before giving infant a bath. At a "Pamper Event," a suggestion increasingly popular for mothers who already have a number of youngsters and also as a result the majority of the stuff they really need, they may take house day spa accessories such as a loofah or bubble bath. A fantastic bath-themed gift basket would have some hypo-allergenic bathroom products, like child bathrooms, talcum powder, towels, as well as bath toys.
The significant and also is that many, if not all of these cost-free items, are delivered right to the mom's home. As well as, with that, allows get right down to the core. Do you have the software program you need to obtain begun? At some point you are mosting likely to intend to transport your infant, so you will certainly need to acquire something. Unless you're planning to hold on to them for your following infant, they're simply collecting dirt. With a couple of straightforward abilities, an useful collection of "stuff, " and also simply a little of planning and prep work, youll get on your method! There is a place for TELEVISION in our lives and also it desires all the fastest way of taking in news from around the globe. Taking courses abroad Below, the poet uses the spiritual story to explain the time, area and also emotions that his love was founded on, talking them as if they were in some way implied to take place. Maybe she believed that was her place on the planet and also no-one might fault her if she executed her obligations to miraculous of her ability. I when had a neighbor who notified the world and it's mommy she thought tidiness was following to Godliness and also invested throughout the day everyday cleaning her home. It is believed that from this you really have the alternative to look into everything before you also have to get something. Limited neck lines would difficulty you and even the positioning of switches at weird placements would trigger you problems, so examine these beforehand. At the exact same time the switches as well as other elements in the layout should be carefully sewn. Yet Betty had the money each time I mosted likely to jail This song better highlights using contrasting narratives to share love. This instance better illustrates using introductory language in conversational narratives.

WHO: Hunter & Sebastian
WHEN: 4/1/2017
WHERE: Plane home from Greece
WHAT: Hunter and Sebastian have a conversation about what’s going to happen post-Greece on the plane ride home in the private jet, then they flash forward to getting tested that evening.
WARNINGS: NSFW talk? But nothing NSFW. EDIT: SCRATCH THAT IT GOT NSFW OOPS. BUT FADES TO BLACK BEFORE IT’S TOO BAD.
Sebastian made sure the jet and pilot was all ready to go before settling in a seat beside Hunter. He hated leaving Greece, but he also missed Jett and Gus (and maybe a couple of his friends). The whole trip with Hunter had been an unbelievable getaway that he couldn't quite wrap his head around yet. He knew they both had become increasingly affectionate and he wasn't sure if he was worried it would continue in Ohio or more that it wouldn't continue and it was only a while on vacation kind of thing. As they took off, Sebastian rest his head against Hunter's shoulder, sipping coffee they had gotten before getting to the airport. "Do you want to eat our breakfast now or later?"
Hunter laid his head on top of Sebastian's as he stared out the window, dreading the moment that they pulled up in the air and left the island. Maybe it was weird, to be so attached to a place he'd only been in for a week, but he'd seen so much and done so much - not to mention the strange new connection with Sebastian that felt a little more.... nailed down now - but it was still strange to be so sentimental. "Later. Coffee first. Need at least two more cups," Hunter joked, pulling the blanket he'd packed up around their legs and getting comfortable. For some reason he always ended up absolutely freezing when flying. "One last chance to stay here." It was another joke, but he couldn't resist saying it.
Sebastian had grown so comfortable being in Greece with Hunter. He wasn't sure which he'd miss more; the country, the sun, or sleeping with Hunter every night. It had started to go beyond just sex for him. He liked the post-sex cuddling that he never thought that he would want. He liked holding hands while walking around the streets. And he liked that he woke up and Hunter was still there in the morning. What he didn't realize was how much that he liked that it was Hunter he was doing everything with. He wasn't sure what to make of it and he didn't want to think about what it all was. "I'm so exhausted," he laughed, smiling. "I wish we could," he nodded. "But we have cats and a dog to go back to."
Hunter buckled himself in properly when the plane started to take-off but didn't detach himself from Sebastian to do so, watching out the window initially but turning his attention back when the movement got to be too much and brushing a hand down over his shoulder. "So am I. The kind of exhausted that comes after a good work out, or relaxing so much you can't keep your eyes open after." He offered the edges of the blanket to Sebastian in case he wanted to get himself bundled up with it too. It was so soft, so comfortable. "At least they've had the best pet sitters this side of the Mason-Dixie line. How much do you want to bet the cats give us the silent treatment for at least the next three days?"
Sebastian made sure he was buckled before taking the edge of the blanket to pull it over himself. It was warm and soft, and well, it was everything that he wanted. He felt like he could be safe and relaxed and not have to worry about anything else. "Yes, the best kind of exhaustion. The relaxing kind," he grinned, kissing his cheek. It was their last leg of their trip, but he was still going to make the most of the things they had. "They have had the best pet sitters. Jett's been getting to be outside and play everyday. He's going to just as mad as Gus," he laughed. "But I have a feeling Puss will be Mr. Grumpy Puss."
Hunter took the kiss on his cheek and turned it into a proper kiss, hand cupping his cheek and drawing him into it. It didn't last long but it held a lot in it and when he pulled away he tried to keep it easy, "Apparently they've all gotten to lounge on the bed while we were gone, and they made friends with Pumpkin. Even Mr. Puss looked like he was enjoying himself." He stretched his legs out in front of him and nonchalantly looked over at Hunter. Instead of letting himself overthink things he talked without trying to filter anything out. "So, you going to crash at my place tonight or do you need to go unpack after we pick up the furballs?"
Sebastian smiled as his lips touched Hunter's, keeping it gentle. Over the course of their trip, Sebastian felt as though he had learned all about what different kisses meant for him and Hunter. There were the soft ones that felt like they were just in the mood to be close. There were the passionate ones that they both knew would lead to so much more. And he loved them both. "Jeff and Blaine spoiled them rotten. We have a lot to live up too," he chuckled, humming softly. "Hmmmm, I can crash at yours. As long as I have the furballs, I can go anywhere, really."
Hunter eyed the pilot's area up front when they broke away. Not that he thought anyone hired by the Smythe's would be spying on them but he was still concerned about wanting their more private moments to remain private. "We can pick up some of those gourmet pet treats on the way home. Bribe our way back into their good graces." He squeezed Sebastian's hand as the relief flowed through. Not that he thought he'd say no but... actually, yes, part of him had thought maybe Sebastian would say no. "Good. We've got that massive cat bed we bought in Greece. They can all pile up on that. Or on the bed with us."
Sebastian knew that they would be okay and that the pilot wouldn't be paying attention to them. At least Sebastian hoped that flying a plane would take precedent over eavesdropping on what he and Hunter were saying. "Oh that's a smart idea. We need to bride them for their love again," he chuckled. Sebastian smiled at Hunter, winking playfully. "I'm way too used to sharing a bed with you," he admitted, trying to make it sound less serious than he felt it was. "Okay but that massive cat bed was amazing. How could we not have gotten it?" he grinned, nodding. "Maybe cuddles will help them love us again."
Hunter could imagine all too well Mr. Puss going cold shoulder on him. It'd happened before, several times, and the longer he was gone the longer the cold shoulder lasted. "Trust me the way to their hearts is definitely through their stomach. They can't resist a little tuna all dolled up." The words made Hunter's stomach clench up but he wasn't too keen on examining what that meant. "So am I. You're welcome over whenever you want, you know that." Did that sound nonchalant? He really, really hoped so. "Let them recreate what they had with their awesome petsitters and maybe they'll be less bitter. Or... we can let them be angry at us and enjoy the fact that it means we can have uninterrupted sex before the jet lag kicks in."
Sebastian felt a little bad for leaving Gus so soon after getting him, but he hoped that the kitten would understand or not even realize what happened. It was doubtful, but he could hope. "The only way to win them back is to spoil them more than Jeff and Blaine did," he agreed. Sebastian let out a small sigh of relief when Hunter returned the worry of not being able to sleep alone anymore. He would have felt weird had Hunter not been worried about it at all and he already felt weird over the fact he had gotten used to the feeling of sleeping next to Hunter in such a short amount of time. "You're welcome to my place any time too, but your bed's a lot more comfortable," he smiled. "Hmmm, last round of sex before jet lag and then win them back?"
Hunter shook his head at just how much work they were going to have to do. At least Mr. Puss knew he'd never let him stay with someone that didn't take proper care of him - from what he'd heard Blaine had done exactly that. "My bed's got every amenity possible," he said with a massive grin, and maybe it was a little smug. He'd spent enough time in his bed to need it to be perfect, and it was even better now that maybe that bed would be a little less empty than it had been since he'd come back from deployment. "Lock them out while they eat and get comfortable, let them back in when we're sated? We can behave for a night after that, I'm betting."
Sebastian felt bad about having to leave the pets back with Jeff and Blaine, but he was also pretty sure that they were being much more spoiled than normal. He trusted Jeff to take care of Gus and Jett, hoping that he'd be able to win back their affections. "A bed shouldn't be allowed to be that comfortable," Sebastian told him, shaking his head. He was enjoying spending time in Hunter's bed more than his own now. "They can get nice and fed and readjusted to being back with us. And we can have one last round of uninterrupted hot sex before we crash from jet lag and want nothing more than to cuddle and be with our babies."
Hunter leaned over for another kiss, the movement so easy between them now that he no longer thought twice about doing it even when they weren't leading into sex. A week seemed like such a short amount of time but being in somewhere so exotic was like being in another world, and it'd changed so much. "You do know how to make something sound insanely appealing. I'll even cook for us again beforehand if I can find the stuff for tacos. The maid should've gone shopping, but if not we can just order pizza if she didn't."
Sebastian kissed Hunter back with ease. He was desperately hoping that the simple kisses between them didn't have to end once they were back. He was finding that he looked forward to them all too much. "Well I am a lawyer. I'm supposed to make things sounds different than they really are," he chuckled. "That reminds me, Jeff wanted me to let him know a date that I'd be kicking ass in court. If you want, I can let you know too," he shrugged. "Tacos? That sounds delicious. Pizza also sounds good too though."
Hunter 's eyebrows rose, leaning back in the seat as much as it would allow before patting Sebastian's side to join him. They weren't going to be napping anytime soon, he didn't think, but comfortable was the name of the game. "I'd definitely enjoy that. Be pretty hot to watch you get someone the justice they deserve. We can definitely incorporate those mid-break blowjobs." His stomach growled a little but he knew he wasn't hungry just yet, it was just thinking about it. "Anything else in mind for today? Any other plans?"
Sebastian smiled and curled into Hunter's side gently, resting his head on Hunter's chest as he pulled the blanket up around them closer. "That's what I was hoping you'd say," he admitted. "And I'm extremely hot when I'm kicking ass," he grinned, kissing Hunter again simply because he could. "Oh yes. Those mid-break blowjobs are the best," he nodded. Sebastian hummed softly before looking at Hunter. 'I.. okay. Are you planning on sleeping with anyone else or can we go get tested once we're back because fuck condoms. I want to feel you."
Hunter ignored all of the rest of the conversation to fixate on that one point. He couldn't really read how Sebastian was saying it. Couldn't figure out if it was something serious, or a statement, or if it really was just a surface thing where Sebastian didn't like condoms and wanted to make sure they didn't need to use them. That'd become pretty clear on the trip, and he wasn't exactly fond of them either... "No, I don't, and if I did I'd be pretty up front with you about it. Why fuck strangers when I've got a friend I actually enjoy who just happens to be incredible in bed? We can go before we settle down tonight. If you're up for it. There's at least one private clinic open on Saturdays. Fuck that sounds hot..."
Sebastian hated condoms, but he also didn't think that he really would want to sleep with anyone else after Hunter. Why go home with someone random when he had a friend who he trusted and knew could make him feel amazing? Being with Hunter was better than everyone else he'd been with before and he wasn't going to give that up. He enjoyed his time with Hunter and well, he really wanted to stop having to use condoms. "I'd like that. I just. Condoms are okay, but fuck I want to know what it'd feel like just you, no rubber in between us."
Hunter wasn't going to overthink this. Sebastian didn't seem to be trying to make things too intense. It seemed to be about sex, and maybe he didn't want Sebastian to sleep with anyone else (even if he'd only admit it to himself) but there was still this knowing fear that jumped to the surface when he thought about it being more than that. "Trust me, I get it. We can have a few marathon rounds once the pets fall asleep for the night.... maybe test that whole 'no rubbers' thing to see just how good it is?"
Sebastian didn't want to overthink things. He didn't want to make them more serious than they had to be. Partially for Hunter's sake and partially because Sebastian himself didn't really want to think about it. He didn't know what it was, but there was also a part of him that liked knowing that Hunter was only going to be sleeping with him and vice versa. "Fuck yes. I want to test that as soon as as much as we possibly can once we're given the okay to," he nodded.
Hunter couldn't help the ridiculous grin that spread wide over his face. Ear to ear. Seeing him so excited about something made something warm and bubbly spark up in his chest and settle there. Even if it was sex it didn't change the fact that it was new. It was exciting. It was something he'd never intentionally done before, only when he was drunk and so far gone he didn't think of it, which had only happened a handful of times. "...So how much do you think the pets would mind us being a little late picking them up?"
Sebastian couldn't deny that he was more than excited about the thought of getting to be with Hunter and not having to deal with a condom in the way. He had never been with someone that he wanted to get to be intimate with exclusively. He had to admit that it was terrifying but exciting to him all at the same time. "Hmmmm, I mean.. what's a couple extra hours late..? They won't really know, will they?"
Hunter turned towards him, kind of needing to see his face right now. Just to make sure he wasn't missing something in what Sebastian was saying, or somehow reading between the lines in a way that wasn't accurate. "Of course they won't, Blaine and Jeff will get more time with him. It all works out, right?" He leaned over and kissed him again, this one less innocent, maybe more... deep. Intense. Just right.
Sebastian smiled reassuringly at Hunter, making sure that he knows that it's what he wants fully and completely with him. It was something that was special to him and scary and he didn't know what to think, but he knew the same thing must have been going through Hunter's mind as well. "I'm sure that they all won't mind a little big of extra time together," he agreed, kissing Hunter back. It was perfect and the right intensity for the situation. "You're fucking addicting."
Hunter chuckled and let the kiss run its course, sinking into it as easily as he'd learned to. Then they were landing, calling one of their drivers, and he couldn't believe nine hours had passed so quickly. Knowing they were headed to the clinic after they dropped their stuff off was almost nerve-wracking but when they finally made it there it was Hunter that tried to lead their way inside. No nerves about being seen but maybe there was a little worry that an escapade would leave him with a positive result. "You ready?" He said at the door.
Sebastian slept most of the way back, pressed against Hunter like he's gotten comfortable with doing. Once they were in the car, he double checked that the clinic would be open once they were there. Once they were there, Sebastian squeezed Hunter's hand. He knew this was a big thing for them. He had never gone to get tested with someone else before. Part of him was nervous, but he was also more than ready to go in. "Let's go in, babe," he nodded, smiling softly.
Hunter pushed the doors open and did the checking in for them - taking charge was such a natural thing for him to do and he trusted that if Sebastian was ever uncomfortable with it or wanted to be the one doing everything that he'd let him know. "So how many vials of blood do you think they'll take?" Tattoos didn't phase him, shots didn't phase him, but getting his blood drawn was always a little iffy for him. There was just so much of it and if he was any smaller it'd leave him light-headed every time.
Sebastian sat down when Hunter went to check them in. He smiled softly when he came back and shrugged. "I don't think it's too much," he said softly. "Do you.. want me to come back with you when you get yours drawn?" he asked, bitting his lip. Everything was so new to him, he didn't know what he should do or say to try and make Hunter feel better about things. "It's never been more than one vial for me," he told him, hoping that would help calm his nerves.
Hunter nodded a little, not wanting to seem like any kind of wuss about it. "Yeah, that'd be pretty cool. It does make sense for us to be there together, getting it done, since we're getting it done for the sake of.... well, each other. Right?" He squeezed his hand tight and leaned against him for a brief moment as they waited for the doctor. "I've had them draw up to three for testing for other things before. Smaller vials, just more of them. Though it might not be the same since that was testing viruses when I came down with that bronchitis-like issue."
Sebastian nodded, "It would. We might as well do it together since it's for each other," he agreed. Sebastian squeezed Hunter's hand back, letting the other stay close to him. "I don't think they'd need that much for this," he shook his head. "At least, I don't see why they would," he shrugged. Sebastian just rubbed Hunter's arm gently until their names were called to head back into the testing room. Standing up, he looked at Hunter. "Hey. It's going to be okay."
Hunter stayed by Sebastian's side and let his voice filter over him. Maybe he didn't register exactly what it said at first but when he tuned back in it was at just the right time. "Thank you, babe." He let the doctor show them a room and dealt with the questions when the nurse tried to protest them sharing an examination room. He'd been prepared to be vocal about why they needed it but didn't want to make everyone uncomfortable when the nurse backed down and let them go. "Thank fuck," he muttered, settling into one of the hard seats. "Thought she wasn't going to go for it."
Sebastian knew they would have to argue their way into the examination room, but he wasn't going to go down without a fight over the matter. When she finally let them go in, he let a small sigh of relief, squeezing Hunter's hand. "Same there, babe," he said softly, sitting down in the chair. He looked over the questions the nurse handed them and looked back over at Hunter as they waited for the next person to come in. "Is it bad I'm not sure the number how many sexual partners to put down?" He asked, looking back down at the paper uncomfortably.
Hunter nudged Sebastian's shoulder with his own at the question. "No, it's not bad. I'm not too sure myself. Somewhere in the higher double digits..." He murmured, trying to do the mental math. It'd been dry season for the most part since coming back to Ohio - minus that weekend in Vegas with a gorgeous woman and now his constant bed sharing with Sebastian - but before he left and when he was deployed the number had been pretty high. Mostly randoms, a few friends with benefits, even a few buddies who just needed to get off after a year away from their women. "I can't say I've been particularly.... monogamous in the past, minus a few women in high school."
Sebastian chuckled, glad that he wasn't the only one who didn't know how many to put down. "I think I'd be around the same then," he nodded, trying to think about it. Being in California, while he was trying to prove he was worthy enough to be at Stanford, that hadn't stopped him from still having a little (or a lot) of fun. It had slowed since coming back to Ohio, finding a few old flings at Scandals before what he started with Hunter. "I can't say I've ever been monogamous," he mumbled, suddenly worried about scaring Hunter away for no real reason.
Hunter tilted his head curiously at the way Sebastian said the words so quietly. "I'm the last person who'd shame you for that, 'Bastian. Not for everyone." For a second he debated taking it down a more serious route but at the last second decided against it, not feeling like they were anywhere close to ready to have that conversation unless Sebastian wanted to take it there. "Had to wait 'til the sex was worth it to whittle it down to just one person," he teased. "But we all know my cock's enough to keep you more than sated. Or my ass." The last part he said a little quieter, directly to Sebastian.
Sebastian looked over at Hunter and smiled softly. "Guess I'm just used to people getting on my case about it," he said. He was seriously terrified about the way he felt when he was around Hunter and part of him wondered how Hunter felt, but he also didn't think a clinic was the most ideal place to bring that kind of thing up. Not when they could be walked in on at any moment by a nurse ready to draw blood. Sebastian laughed, nodding. "Well lucky for you, my cock and ass isn't going anywhere, babe."
Hunter squeezed Sebastian's hand lightly, leaning into his side and settling down there. "Well those people are idiots. Your past, hell your present, that's nobody's business but yours and the person or people you choose to share it with." Maybe Hunter could be an ass. Maybe he could be immature at times. But he firmly believed that Sebastian didn't deserve to have to deal with such bullshit over something as simple as sex. "Thank fuck. I mean. Kind of what we're doing here, right?" He didn't really know what was going on here but he also wasn't going to make any moves to quell it. It felt... really damn good.
Sebastian rest his head against Hunter's, holding onto his hand. Despite everything they'd already done together, this was making him feel the most nervous and vulnerable. "That makes me feel so much better," he admitted. Sebastian knew that his family wasn't happy with his sleeping around, thinking it gave the family a bad name, constantly getting on his case about not settling down with someone when he was only 21. Knowing the Hunter didn't mind his past and didn't run from him because of it made Sebastian feel... safe for the first time. "It's exactly why we're here," he nodded. Knowing that there was someone who was willing to only be with well.. him.. was something that made Sebastian feel things he didn't want to think about.
Hunter relaxed against the chair again as the door opened, but he murmured a "Good, let me know what else I can do" against Sebastian's ear as the nurse came in and tried not to focus on what was about to happen. He handed his filled-out form over, one hand going down to lace their fingers together in a way he'd become accustomed to in Greece, the other tapping a little nervously on the edge of the chair. This whole thing was just so... new and at least the awkward part of the doctor's visit would be over soon and they could move on to the much, much more fun part of their evening.
Sebastian smiled softly, never expecting to like how things felt with Hunter so much. "I will," he said quietly, looking up as the nurse came in. He handed his form to her, looking over at Hunter. Squeezing his hand, Sebastian listened as the nurse explained what would happen and, nodded. "I can go first, unless you want to?" he asked Hunter, not sure if Hunter would prefer to get it done and over with sooner. He was looking forward to them both being done and out of the place.
Hunter looked up at the nurse then back down to their joined hands and sucked in a breath. "I'll go first. Want it done with, and we can keep talking through yours." As the nurse swabbed his mouth he squeezed his hand even tighter, pretty sure he was going to have to pry their hands apart as he watched her get the 2 vials ready. "Talk to me about something. Anything. Tell me something nobody knows, or how you feel about aliens, or something that's going to distract me enough I'm not tempted to look."
Sebastian nodded, letting Hunter go first. He had never seen the other so nervous before but he almost found it nice to see that side of Hunter. He was going to say something about Hunter breaking his hand, but Sebastian thought it best to bite his tongue about it. "Something nobody knows? Well. Despite what it may look like, my coming out wasn't as nice as I make it out to be. My parents are more accepting of it now, but at first they wanted nothing to do with who I was. Only my sister and Grandma really supported me. Granted, my coming out was kind of forced when mother found me in bed with a guy."
Hunter could feel the first needle but tried to ignore it, focusing on Sebastian's words and trying to piece together that tidbit with what he already knew about Sebastian. "Was it anyone I know? Sorry. Sorry, bad timing. How did you handle it? Did you keep doing it despite what they said?" Such basic questions but he wanted to know now. There were few people he knew who'd actually had a genuinely easy time coming out to their parents and it wasn't something he ever took lightly. Not after knowing how long it took him to even tell someone.
Sebastian shook his head. "Nah, it was this guy in Paris. I was fourteen. He was seventeen and a dancer. Go figure," Sebastian laughed. "I didn't think they were going to be home, but they came home and there we were," he said. "I kept doing it. I was a little more careful about it at first, but then Grandma told me that I had to be who I was was, so I stopped trying to hide it so much and then moving to the States, I kept up my sleeping around even more. I'm pretty sure my parents still aren't happy with how many guys I've been with. They think it ruins the family image."
Hunter raised his eyebrows very briefly at the age difference, though it wasn't like he hadn't had his own fair share of being the younger guy. For a second he snorted but he was very quick to clarify why. "It just amuses me that your grandmother essentially gave you her blessing to sleep around," Hunter teased, sufficiently distracted as the second needle was insert - he'd barely even noticed more than a few twinges. "Are they more concerned with the number of guys you've been with, or the fact that they're guys in the first place and not girls? They should be grateful you can't knock anyone up, honestly."
Sebastian just shrugged. He knew there was an age difference and at the time, it was a pretty big one. He wasn't even 100% sure that he remembered how it all came to be. "I told you she's the best. She's the one who had to give me the sex talk," he grinned, chuckling softly. "I think the number more than the fact they were guys. I think. I mean, I think it tool father a little bit to warm up to it, but he's more just annoyed at the reputation it gives Smythes or whatever."
Hunter imagined a tiny old lady telling Sebastian how to be safe, how to protect himself, what sex actually was... It was just the opposite of what he'd expected from Sebastian's family and it was a perfectly amusing image. "Please tell me she gave it to you in the most frank way possible. With diagrams." When the vials were pulled out he breathed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes briefly. "That's so dumb. They can't prove anything more than speculation about number, and it's none of their business anyway."
Sebastian laughed, "It was more like she tried to draw diagrams herself. And there was a condom on a banana. I was mortified. She did it in the middle of her cafe with other people around. I don't know why she thought that was a good idea. It was awful," he shook his head at the memory, smiling as the nurse finished up with Hunter. "I know. I guess enough people saw me with a different guy a night and that got back to my parents," he rolled his eyes fondly. It bugged him, but he tried not to let it get the best of him the best that he could.
Hunter leaned against him as the laughter came, trying not to laugh too hard while the nurse was bandaging up the already-bruising area. "Oh god. Please tell me your cheeks turned that rosy pink color. Did she make you practice rolling the condom down over the banana?" For a second he was going to say something more, but he didn't want the response to seem flippant when it wasn't. "It's your turn. You can ask anything that you want to. Consider it your distraction even if you don't need one."
Sebastian couldn't help but laugh along with Hunter, thinking back to his Grandma trying to draw diagrams and explain everything to him in the middle of the cafe. "I was terrified of it all. And yes. I had to roll the condom onto the banana while my cheeks were bright freaking red," he nodded. Sebastian rest his arm out for the nurse to start prepping him to draw blood. "Hmmm, tell me. Did you ever think about me while we were at Dalton and how close were you to jumping me?"
Hunter could surprisingly watch Sebastian as the nurse was prepping him, though he was fiddling with his own bandage in the meantime. "Of course." The words slipped out automatically. No filter was in place and maybe that wasn't the worst thing that could happen. "You were hot as sin and praised by nearly everyone, out of the bed and in it.... If we'd have been roommates... it might have been a lot more complicated than it was, and a lot more difficult to resist. Did you ever think about asking me if it was true?"
Sebastian looked over at Hunter, letting the nurse do whatever to his arm, barely even noticing when the needle went in. "Of course I thought about it. But I also thought I made it obvious that I was into you and well, you didn't seem very interested at the time. I was a cocky bastard who didn't want to look like he was chasing after someone he couldn't have," he shrugged. "Plus you with all those different girls.. I thought I got the message pretty clear you didn't want me."
Hunter ignored the nurse's presence so he could lean in and kiss Sebastian quickly. Maybe even sweetly. Reminiscent of beaches and barely moving waves and feeling like they only existed in a single moment. "Well, I can't say I was wrong to be in the closet.... Won't try and justify my reasoning... but I was pretty damn dumb not to jump your bones back then. Might would've made my first time with a guy more appealing than a sloppy handjob in the back of someone's truck."
Sebastian kissed him back softly. He didn't know why he felt so bothered by everything that had happened. Maybe it was that Hunter hadn't tried to be with him and well, Sebastian wasn't used to that. Or maybe it was just that he knew he would have made Hunter's first time with a guy so much better. "I know people need to come out on their own time and I never want to force someone out of the closet," he shrugged. "I could have made your first time so much better than that, babe."
Hunter finally averted his eyes back to the nurse but only briefly. It was kind of nice to realize she didn't seem to be paying them or their conversation any more attention than was strictly necessary. "For the record, there were only... maybe three or four people I'd have slept with from Dalton and you were definitely top of the list. And you have definitely made any recent memories I have of sexual encounters fucking fantastic. Phenomenal. Want me to keep spouting off descriptors? Because I can."
Sebastian was barely aware of the needle in his arm and it was gone before he realized enough blood had been taken out of his arm. "Well that does help," he nodded. "And I intend to make it so that you forget about all your past encounters and I'm the only one on your mind," he mumbled, leaning over to kiss Hunter again despite the nurse trying to tell them something about waiting for results and whatnot.
Hunter let the kiss linger, hands going up to Sebastian's neck and holding him there. "You're doing a fucking fantastic job. Might not be blind, no, but I'm damn sure sated enough to have my focus trained on you." The words got a little flowery. A little rambling, but it was nice to know that Sebastian..... gave enough of a shit to want that to be different than it was. "Kind of glad that we were adults when it inevitably happened though." Hunter admitted. "More experience. More talent."
Sebastian wrapped an arm around Hunter, keeping his close. "I am very pleased to hear that," he nodded. "Well, that's why we're here, yeah? It's well.. you and me," he smiled softly. He was glad they seemed to be on the same page about things. Hunter was... different for Sebastian. Special. "Yeah? I guess we both were able to perfect a few things before it happening," he nodded. The nurse had left the room and Sebastian had barely noticed, being too fixed on looking at Hunter beside him.
Hunter chuckled a little, leaning against Sebastian in an uncharacteristic display of vulnerability. There'd been a lot of those in the last 72 hours, but it was becoming easier and easier to handle those and not let them turn into potential panic attacks. "Yeah. Yeah it is. Give me however long results take and I'll remind you just how much this is us." Maybe he couldn't resist taking that to a sexual level, but it was very clearly not just that. "Remind me to thank whoever it was that helped you perfect that thing you did with your hands last night. Damn near had me keening. Last question. Why did you seem hesitant to turn this sexual when we started talking again?"
Sebastian wrapped a protective arm around Hunter. He wasn't sure why he felt so protective over the other or if he had any business whatsoever to be so protective, but he was and it wasn't something he wanted to turn off. "Mmm I can't wait," he smirked lightly, leaning back against Hunter as they waited. "I do hope it isn't too long," he nodded, chuckling. "And remind me to thank whoever it was that taught you that things you do with your tongue. I could come from that alone," he said before looking at Hunter, suddenly a little more serious. "I.. guess I just didn't want you to think this was just sex? Like.. I'm not just using you for your body. Or something," he mumbled, unable to find the right words to say that wouldn't make things weird or uncomfortable.
Hunter tapped his foot in a show of nerves he couldn't hide, but his own hand slid behind Sebastian to return the affectionate gesture. "Shouldn't be more than 20 minutes," he murmured, stealing kiss after small kiss, just letting each one linger enough to have been felt. "We should try that some night. After we've had that talk about what we're into, because my mind went straight to tying up your wrists and edging you all night." His eyes lit up with something close to mischief, but the way Sebastian looked had him sobering up and leaning in to keep the physical contact high. "If... it's any consolation... I don't think that's what you're doing. Not what I'm doing with you either. You enjoy someone's company enough and it starts to show to the point even the oblivious can tell."
Sebastian nodded, hoping that everything would come back alright. He'd hate to have gone through everything any then find out news they weren't expecting. Sebastian was relaxing more and more with each kiss Hunter gave him, letting himself feel safe and okay with the other. "Fuck, Hunter. You don't know how hot that sounds," he mumbled, kissing him again. "I am 100% all in for that," he nodded. Sebastian felt as though a huge weight had been lifted from him and he could breathe again. Knowing that everything he was feeling wasn't one sided made him feel so much better about everything. "Thank fuck," he said, kissing Hunter a little deeper than before hoping that would say more than he was able to say with words.
Hunter nearly let the kisses get inappropriate, but not in a sexual sense as much as the kisses almost got too intense and in a public place that just wasn't alright, not when that was for them alone. "Yeah? Might could try the getting you off with just my tongue tonight, then, after you're sated and loose limbed and sensitive - and we can drag in kinks after we have that discussion." It was like they'd mastered the art of non-verbal communication, with Hunter taking everything that Sebastian was giving to him and trying to feed it back into him. Trying to let him know just enough of what he couldn't say. "Yeah, thank fuck. If it was just sex you'd have never been in my bed again after that weekend. If it was just sex I'd have never let you..." He trailed off, hoping the other man remembered as well as he did.
Sebastian was getting to lost in Hunter's lips. He knew that they needed to slow it down before it got out too crazy to turn back and he also knew that the nurse would be coming back at any moment and he didn't need her finding them in the middle of something. "Fuck yes," he nodded, getting excited at just the thought of getting off only by Hunter's tongue. He and Hunter had learned what the other meant and needed almost too well. They somehow got each other without having to say a word and that saved Sebastian from having to find the right words. "I wouldn't have stayed the night. Or let you get close to me.." he nodded, knowing exactly what Hunter had meant.
Hunter pulled back only when he didn't think he'd keep his control in check, palming Sebastian briefly before settling his hands back in his own lap and smirking. "Now I'm even more eager for them to come back in and tell us we're clean," he said with a smirk, fingers tapping on the edge of the chair again but this time in excitement. "Exactly. So... you know. For the record. It's more than that." He reached his hand back to squeeze Sebastian's, a stupid smile on his face even as the fear tinged the edges of it.
Sebastian had to shift uncomfortably in his seat, stifling a groan that wanted to come out of his mouth. "The nurse needs to come back soon before I take you right here," he whispered into Hunter's ear, moving his mouth to suck at Hunter's neck for a moment before pulling away. "I'm.. really glad to hear that," he said softly, squeezing his hand back with a grin on his face that he was pretty sure wouldn't go away. When the nurse came back in a little bit later, Sebastian looked up at her eagerly.
Hunter 's hips pushed up against the open air at the way Sebastian marked up his neck, the feel of sharp teeth sending a very guttural reaction to the put of his stomach. "Fuck, but that sounds like some kind of roleplay fantasy come true," he murmured, When the nurse came in he perked up too, and when she announced him clean of any kind of STDs he gave a sigh of relief and turned to Sebastian as she opened up his results, wanting to know exactly what the paper said.
Sebastian smirked softly at the reaction that Hunter had to him, loving every second of it. "Maybe we should be adding that to our sex bucket list," he said, looking at Hunter excitedly. Their list was getting longer and longer and he wasn't about to complain about that. Sebastian opened up his results, letting out a huge sigh of relief. Looking at Hunter, he grinned, "Guess who's getting laid tonight," he smirked, not caring that the nurse was in the room.
Hunter 's eyebrows raised, but he had to actively shift in his seat not to be too obvious about his reaction. "Yes. Yes, please. We're going to have a mile long list at this point. Take us years to complete." Not that he was thinking that far ahead... but enough incredible sex to last a few years? That sounded nothing but positive to him. "Us?! Tell me it's us." He wanted to grab for the results and wave them around but settled on a far less rude grin, pulling him in by the collar for a much harder kiss.
Sebastian loved being able to get Hunter to react like that. "That just means we'll have to work hard to cross things off the list," he grinned. He wasn't going to turn down a chance to have good sex with Hunter. "Oh it's us, babe," he smiled brightly, kissing Hunter harder. The nurse cleared her throat, telling them they could go. "Let's go!" He beamed, pulling Hunter got of the office.
Hunter smirk was plastered on his face by now, he was sure of it. "You have such damn good ideas. Make sure we cross off one or two of those things every week. I'd say every day... but we might never leave my room." he teased, following after Sebastian and only stopping long enough to press the other man up against a wall, stealing a rough kiss that would've only gotten more heated if they didn't have a destination already in mind. "Though maybe that doesn't sound like the worst idea...."
Sebastian chuckled, not being able to stop himself from grinning ear to ear. He was fairly certain that the grin was going to stay on his face for a very long time. "A couple a week sounds like a great plan. We also need to have the kinks talk... that could end up making the list even longer," he smirked. "We do need to your bed at some point," he teased. Sebastian groaned as his back hit the wall, kissing Hunter back deeply. He didn't know or care about whoever may be around them, he just wanted to get Hunter home and in bed.
Hunter 's hands went up to Sebastian's neck and held him there until the kiss had him panting, grabbing Sebastian's ass in both broad palms and squeezing gently. "Oh? Is that a hint that you're having an urge to be tied up and spanked that I should be taking care of?" He grinned, fiddling with the edges of his shirt. "The rest of the world will still be waiting after we've christened every room we come across..." It was clear teasing, but it was also a hint of admitting he liked what they were outside everyone else.
Sebastian groaned against Hunter' lips, making no move to stop him. "Fuck.... I wouldn't say no to that," he admitted. While he'd rarely admit it to many people, there was something about submitting completely to someone that turned him on. Of course, there was also something about being dominating that also turned him on. "Oh yeah? You like the idea of everyone knowing exactly what we're doing?" He smirked, slowly rolling his hips down against Hunter's.
Hunter drew in a sharp breath as the answer landed. It wasn't the answer he expected, but it definitely wasn't unwelcome either. "You'd really want me to? You're going to have to tell me just how deep that urge goes.... Fuck, that talk may happen sooner rather than later," he admitted, imagining Sebastian ass up in front of him while he controlled his orgasms. "Yes. I do. Want everyone in a ten mile radius to know exactly who's got you so close to screaming. Don't even care if they want to play audience, as long as they keep their hands off you."
Sebastian knew that is wasn't something that most people would expect from him, but he trusted Hunter to know all of what he liked. There were very few people that he would ever trust to know about that kink and even fewer he would ever trust to carry it out, but he was absolutely excited by the idea of being at Hunter's mercy. "I trust you, babe. I know you'd make it amazing," he nodded, kissing Hunter deeply. "Just say when," he murmured. "Damn babe, that'd be.. so hot."
Hunter bit down on his lip as he watched Sebastian carefully to gauge just how serious he was, next words murmured against his ear as he leaned in even closer. "What are your limits, sweetheart? Tell me what's not okay, tell me what you absolutely love, and we can go from there." Instead of backing away he pressed him even tighter against the wall, bracing his hands on either side of Sebastian before rolling his hips forward. "Let me know if you're ever in the mood to give someone a show. Promise we'll leave them speechless."
Sebastian never imagined that they'd be talking about everything somewhere in the hallways of a health clinic, but he couldn't find it in him to stop it. "Honestly.. you can push me pretty far.. as much as I love a good orgasm, denial is almost more fun," he admitted with a shrug. "Completely being in the hands and at the mercy of someone else," he nodded, wrapping his arms around Hunter's neck to hold him against him. "We'll be leaving them all jealous too."
Hunter shuddered at the images flooding through. "Yeah? I can promise you if we ever tried that I'd take incredible care of you. Make sure that orgasm - orgasms - is one that you can't ever forget. Get you shuddering and begging under me..." Maybe he should pull away right now before things got so heated that they got kicked out of the doctor's office, but it just... didn't seem worth it to pull away right now. "Of course. Have you seen you?"
Sebastian couldn't shake the images out of his head. They'd definitely be trying it at some point. The sooner the better, really. "Fuck, yes," he nodded. "You'd have me wrapped around your finder," he groaned softly. They should pull away. They really should. They were in the middle of an office and yet Sebastian wasn't about to push Hunter away from him. "Me? Have you seen you?"
Hunter tilted his head forward and kissed his slowly, keeping it even and easy so that the intensity died down some.... but it didn't really work. "You saying I don't already have you wrapped around my finger?" He smirked, only pulling back when a nurse came by and did the obvious dry cough at them. "Oh, plenty, but I much prefer someone with your build."
Sebastian tried to calm himself down as best as he could, but his mind was so focused on everything Hunter Clarington. "Hmmm you could try and see if I am or now," he smirked, teasing him. "And I much prefer the gymnast build," he grinned, taking Hunter's hand. "I think that's our cue to leave," he laughed, starting to pull Hunter out of the building so they could go.
Hunter grinned back, already imagining the various ways - both sexual and not so sexual - that he could prove that Sebastian was as wrapped as he was feeling like he is. "Is that you admitting that I'm your type, Sebastian Smythe?" He didn't hesitate to take his hand nor did he hesitate to follow him out, letting the door slam shut behind them. "Yes, yes it is. Now time for home sweet home."
Sebastian knew that Hunter could probably convince him to do anything. He was completely wrapped around Hunter's fingers and he liked to think that he could get Hunter to do things he wouldn't normally do too. "Did you think think I could deny that fact?" He grinned, walking out to the car. "Yes. Homes. Sex. Going to get our babies," he said, opening up the car door.
Hunter loved the sound of every word that fell from Sebastian's lips. It was like he had become an expert Hunter whisperer, knowing just what to say to make Hunter's focus remain solely on him no matter who tried to communicate with them, no matter what was going on around them. "Drive. Think you can drive with my hands on your cock or do you want me to behave right now?"
Sebastian felt as though he knew Hunter better than anyone else and he knew that Hunter knew him better than anyone ever had. Part of him wondered what they would have been like had Hunter been out in high school, but he also felt like they had the perfect amount of build up to whatever they are now. "Fuck, Hunter, I don't know. That sounds way too tempting."
Hunter 's smirk widened as he looked Sebastian up and down, gauging his reaction. "Make a quick decision, babe. Either you drive and I tease you the whole way home, or I drive and I have my pants down enough to still tease you the whole way home. Just in a... more creative manner." The ideas were so tempting... like suddenly having access to Sebastian made him want to explore everything.
Sebastian looked at Hunter, checking to see how serious he was being. "I'll drive," he said, grabbing the keys and sliding into the driver's seat and buckling before he could change his mind about things. "What's gotten into you?" he asked, smirking at the other. "I'm not complaining, but it's like a fire lit inside your pants."
Hunter flushed a little but quickly shoved it to the side, sliding the confidence back in place before any slip was evident. "It's just hot knowing how many options we have now. So much we can explore." So much I'm not thinking of you doing with someone else remained unsaid, but he very much thought it. "Why not get started on it?"
Sebastian put the keys in the ignition and started to pull out of the lot. "I suppose we do have a rather long list to get started on," he agreed, looking at Hunter quickly. "Just, if we crash, that's on you, babe," he winked. Everything felt exciting to him. He looked forward to everything ahead of them and yet, he still couldn't believe Hunter was willing to only be with him.
Hunter chuckled at the mention of the list. It'd been one of his crazier ideas but it was definitely one he wanted to explore. "We've got... what, at least 25 items on it by now?" He slid over enough to palm at Sebastian through the fabric covering him, leaning in to innocently nuzzle his neck and press a quick kiss to his cheek. "We won't crash. Wouldn't let it happen. React however you'd like baby."
Sebastian couldn't help but find it amusing that they both had taken the list a little more seriously that either of them ever expected to. "At least 25. And it's growing quickly," he laughed. Sebastian groaned softly at the hand over him and gripped the steering wheel a little bit tighter already knowing that he'd need to focus on the road to get them to Hunter's house in one piece. "God, Hunt.."

KnB Umeda Event Convo Translation
There was a KnB event in Umeda, Osaka, on January this year where our boys dressed up nicely like a butler. This is a translation of the conversation shown on the event.
Pics of the original conversation and characters panels also included! Excuse my blurry photos orz
Special thanks to @akashikuroko for proofreading!
1) Akashi and Midorima’s Part
Akashi: Hello, Midorima. You’ve arrived early.
Midorima: I’m not familiar with Osaka, so I just decided to come earlier. Anyway, Akashi, what exactly do you plan to do after the event in Ikebukuro?
Akashi: *chuckles* Don’t be so stiff. I would like to hold a party to celebrate New Year’s with everyone.
Midorima: Party?
Akashi: Yes. If you don’t mind, may I discuss some things with you? The Daimaru Umeda 15th Floor venue has already been reserved. I also plan to distribute the preparation work for the main dish, dessert, and glamorous decorations.
Midorima: Main dish, dessert and decorations, huh. We need to be split into teams.
Akashi: That’s right. First, I have decided to put Murasakibara in the dessert team…
Midorima: Him alone is unreliable. I think it’s better to put Kuroko… and just in case, Kagami to keep an eye on them.
Akashi: I see. If it’s Kagami, he won’t be easily swayed by Murasakibara, so that will be fitting.
Midorima: For the decorations, Kise seems to be good with it.
Akashi: I think so too. I plan to be in charge of the main dish, so you may choose what work you wish to cover.
Midorima: The main dish is the most difficult one to do, right? I’ll help you out, as well.
Akashi: Thank you. Then, I will assign Aomine with the decorations along with Kise. Let us hope he won’t skip out on the job.
Midorima: Kise will drag him along, even if it’s against Aomine’s will.
2) Kuroko, Kagami, and Murasakibara’s Part
Kagami: If we’re talking about desserts for a party, it should definitely be a big cake!
Kuroko: I agree. The visual presentation alone is appealing. Ah, but there are a variety of cakes to choose from. Which one should we go for…
Kagami: Do cakes have popular trends or something?
Kuroko: I’m not sure… I don’t really understand it either, but if it’s Murasakibara-kun… Eh? Murasakibara-kun?
Kagami: Where did he go? Oi! Murasakibara!
Murasakibara: So noisy~ You don’t have to shout, I can hear you. (munch munch)
Kuroko: Murasakibara-kun, that’s…
Murasakibara: Cookies. One from this store. It’s crispy and really tasty~ (munch munch)
Kagami: Oi! Why did you just go out and buy stuff without telling us! We’re trying to plan for the party here…
Murasakibara: That’s why I bought a lot. With this many cookies, we can display them on the table and even use them for decorations on the cake.
Kuroko: Now that you mention it, cookie decorations might give a more party vibe, as well.
Murasakibara: Right~? Then, what about Kurochin; what are you going to buy?
Kuroko: We were thinking of buying a cake, but we’re not sure which one to get…
Kagami: There’s chocolate cake, fruitcake, and tart.
Kuroko: Chiffon cake and baumkuchen… Ah, there’s also a Japanese style cake.
Murasakibara: Cake… tart… baumkuchen… Hehehe, every single one of them looks tasty~
Kagami: This is confusing.
Kuroko: Indeed.
Murasakibara: Why? There’s no need to be confused.
Kagami: Huh? You already have an idea?
Murasakibara: It should be all of them.
Kuroko & Kagami: What?
Murasakibara: I’ll buy everything~
Kagami: There’s no way we can do that!!! �
3) Kise and Aomine’s Part
Kise: Aominecchi!! Look, look! If we use these flowers, everything would look more exciting, right?
Aomine: Yeah… maybe.
Kise: Ah, but this white one is good too. See?
Aomine: Yeah… I guess.
Kise: …Aominecchi?
Aomine: Yeah… I guess.
Kise: Wait a minute!! You’re not even listening or looking at them!!
Aomine: Huh? I can’t help it, you know. Even if you ask me, I don’t understand anything about flowers and stuff. Just pick anything you like; I won’t complain about them.
Kise: Eh~!?
Aomine: I’m gonna hang out over there. You just pick whatever fits…
Kise: That won’t do!! My job is to keep an eye on you and make sure you don’t slack off.
Aomine: Keep an eye on me?
Kise: Akashicchi asked me to!
Aomine: Tch. That Akashi…
Kise: Once in a while is fine, right? Then pick one! Okay? Choose, Aominecchi.
Aomine: I told you I don’t understand anything about flowers.
Kise: Just rely on your instinct~
Aomine: …The red one.
Kise: ! Roger that!
4) All Members
Aomine: Wow, what’s with this huge steak! It’s looks amazing!
Murasakibara: Pasta, pilaf, and salad… The one over there is soup, huh.
Kuroko: Wasn’t it difficult preparing all this food?
Akashi: The menu had already planned beforehand. Midorima also offered his assistance; thus, we managed to finish preparing them on time.
Kagami: Every single one of them looks good. I’m excited! I can eat all of this, right?
Kuroko: Kagami-kun, these dishes are for everyone. Please don’t eat everything by yourself.
Kagami: I know that!
Kise: Before you eat, you should really look at the decorations.
Akashi: I suppose these flowers are Gerbera daisies. There are many colors, it looks beautiful.
Kise: The Gerbera daisy’s flower meanings are also nice. The shop staff told me about them.
Midorima: I heard that even if they are the same flower, the meaning differs for each color.
Kise: That’s right. Red means, “constant advance.” White means, “hope.” Yellow means, “cheerfulness.”
Kuroko: It’s interesting that each of them has a positive representation.
Kise: I’m glad you like it!
Midorima: Hm? What’s with this basket of roses? It stands out from the rest.
Kise: Aominecchi chose that one! With instinct!
Kagami: What? That’s Aomine’s choice? Pfft! It doesn’t suit him at all. Ahahahaha!
Aomine: What do you mean by that, huh?! Kise forced me to pick, so I just chose the one flower I know… Wait, Kise! What is this dog plush toy!
Kise: Eh~? Aominecchi said this basket is good, so I just bought it~
Murasakibara: (munch munch) It seems Minechin only saw the flowers~ (munch munch)
Kise: Aaaah!! Murasakibaracchi, you’re already eating the cake!? We haven’t even taken a picture of it!
Muraskibara: I don’t care~ (munch munch)
Midorima: It appears that he only ate the cookies around the cake. If you want to take a picture, you should do it quickly.
Akashi: It’s such splendid cake. Did you buy three whole cakes and stack them together?
Kagami: Yeah! We used the biggest fruitcake we found in the western confectionery corner as the base!
Murasakibara: That shop is selective with the fruits they use, it’s really tasty. I recommend it~
Aomine: If you’re saying it’s good, then I’m keeping my expectations high.
Akashi: This one over here seems to be baumkuchen. Did Kuroko choose this one?
Kuroko: Yes. I heard that baumkuchen is a dessert that resembles a tree’s growth rings, and it was made with the wish of “everlasting friendship that will never be interrupted”…
Kagami: Ooh. Sounds interesting.
Akashi: We shall have it later, then.
Kuroko: Yes.
Kise: It would be nice if we can celebrate New Year’s again like this!
Kuroko: I feel the same way. Let’s get together again.
Notes:
*Interestingly, when I googled the flowers meaning to validate, red gerbera mostly has something do with love (mysterious in love, unconsciously in love, fully immersed in love, etc), so I’m not sure where this “constant advance” comes from.
**There’s actually a replica of the tables with the foods but I didn’t take a picture orz The boys took away all my attention
