Hey, so if they keep going with Chenford the non specific way they’re going (at this point it seems like it will be a last season, last few episodes kinda thing since no one wants to pull the trigger, how long in your opinion before the fan base is at the end of its rope and there’s backlash? Some of us are already there, but I feel like patience is wearing thin. It’s evident too after Sunday’s ep, social media wasn’t pleasant.
Interesting ask. Complicated answer, I think.
The thing with this is it's not homogenous. There won't be a point where everyone says right, I'm off, this is too much baiting and I'm done. You'll always have people who stick it out or who don't really mind whatever happens, even if Chenford never happens.
There will be increasing numbers of people who no longer like the show and stop watching, though. As of the last week or two I've seen people do this and take a step back, including the very people who got me into this show. So in a sense the answer to your question is 'right now'.
But you might not really notice this happening as they generally just stop posting about the show, and get replaced by people still watching.
So in terms of actual backlash - I guess you mean people speaking out against the show on social media? As you say, that's definitely already happening, and as weeks go by and everybody is tired and frustrated by the same old games, it'll only increase.
I think the upcoming winter hiatus will be difficult to come back from if nothing at all has been given by then because few people seem happy with any of the non-Chenford elements of the show. I think the general understanding is that nothing definitive will happen between Chenford by that point, so I feel like there's potential for a flashpoint then.
Equally another cycle of getting hyped up over nothing (like episode 1) where they do give some kind of 'ship moment' at midseason but don't follow it up could trigger a separate backlash after the show returns.
Otherwise, if things stay as is, I expect a slow build up of frustrated voices appearing on social media more frequently from here on out. I have seen a lot more people posting that it seems likely the writers are just screwing with Chenford fans at this point. And that's just not a good vibe for a fandom.
I expect more infighting before actual backlash against the show, though. Twitter can be particularly bad for people getting overprotective of their standpoint and getting quite nasty with one another. It's happening on here too.
This is generally what happens when shows play this game, unfortunately.

Cherry wine || Single dad!Tsukishima
So hello! This is something i’ve been planning on posting for awhile now. Idk if i like it or not and Tsukishima might be a bit OOC since i haven’t been in the Haikyuu fandom for very long but oh well. Tomorrow i’ll try and post the masterlist for it and how many chapters it’ll have!
Tumblr media
-Prologue-
“I’m pregnant”
The silence that fell over the room became deafening, not a single sound except for the distant students outside of the dorm building chatting and laughing together. The fan in the corner of the room buzzed, rotating left and right and rustling some papers on the desk. The wind softly blew through his hair, making the heat more bearable than it was before but at that very moment his thoughts and gone completely blank.
The girl in front of him leaned onto the desk that was placed behind her and knitted her eyebrows together, not in anger but purely because she had been lost in thought. Her arms were crossed and she looked at the boy's feet, biting her bottom lip while doing so.
To say it was a shock, was simply too lightly. I mean, yes, the two of them hadn't exactly done much to prevent it that night so it had been quite the possibility but it had never crossed his mind. She was pregnant, something he did. The clumb of cells that was currently busy forming into a little human was because of him.
"Tsukishima"
Tsukishima's head snapped up and for a moment his eyes widened slightly. They held eye contact for a moment, neither of them breaking it. They were both, confused. Neither of them knowing what to do know and neither of them knowing what to say.
The boy adjusted his glasses and cleared his throat. He folded his hands together and fiddled around with them, something he unconciously did when he was nervous. "..Oh"
Its all he could think of at that moment. Tsukishima,  a man who always knew how to respond to whatever situation with either a logic answer or a cocky remark now felt silent. He was a rational person, but now it seemed that his brain short circuited.
The girl sighed, her eyes falling down to the ground once again. She moved one of her hands to rub over her face and then started biting her thumb nail. "I found out on Sunday. I..wanted to think about it myself a bit first. Hope you understand" She said, her voice trailing off.
Tsukishima nodded. "Of course."
Another silence.
There was one question he was dying to ask, of course, the most obvious one. He was a strong believer of the belief that it was her body and her choice and that he didn't have ANY saying in what she wanted to do, but he was still curious. At that moment he didn't even know which decision he wanted or preferred. Would it be bad if he asked? Or was it too soon?
"What do you- " "I-"
They both fell silent, not wanting to interrupt one another. Tsukishima excused himself and nodded towards her. "Sorry, go on".
The girl in front of her looked a little anxious and bit her lip before taking a deep breath and closing her eyes to calm her nerves. She breathed out and locked eyes with the boy standing in front of her. "I've thought about it..and decided what choice i wanted to make and i hope you can support me in that."
Tsukishima quickly nodded and waved his hand. "Your body your choice. Whatever decision you make i will respect it so do not rely on my approval" He said, something which made her worried expression relax. It felt as if there had bee a weight lifted off of her shoulders.
She nodded, letting her eyes roam around the room for a second trying to figure out how to put it into words.
"For the longest time i've planned out what i wanted to do with my life, with my future. Go to college, study to become an archeologist and become succesful and travel around..A baby can't fit into that plan, not yet."
Understandable. Tsukishima understood what she meant, for he too had a plan of what he wanted to do in the future. Work in a museum, it was something that he loved the idea of ever since he was a kid. She wanted to become something bigger, so of course a baby would only get in the way.
She cleared her throat and fiddled her hands. "I do, however, want to give it a chance of being able to live. For him or her to find out what joys life can gift to you and how wonderful the world can be..So i'm going to give them up for adop-"
"I'll raise them"
What.
The girl's eyes widened and she looked at Tsukishima in shock.
Tsukishima pushed himself off of the wall and looked at her for a second before taking a step closer to her. "I'll take responsibility and raise them."
What was he saying?
The girl blinked in surprise, her mouth slightly agape from the sudden response one that she had not expected in a million years. Tsukishima's eyebrows were slightly knitted, something which showed he was dear serious over this. "..please"
Why was he saying this?
The girl snapped out of her daze and ran her fingers through her hair, her other hand cupping her still flat stomach. "I-..Wh- Tsukishima..are you serious?" She asked in disbelieve, still taken aback from the reaction. "With all due respect, Tsukishima, but i really hope you understand i am not planning on raising this baby alongside you nor am i planning to hop in at a later age. I just-"
"I don't care for that. You won't have to be involved in any way, i'll make my own money, buy my own two bedroom apartment, raise my own kid. I'll work it out, if you want i'll cover half of all your medical bills" Tsukishima said while leaning back again, looking at her with his usual stoic expression again. Yet, his golden brown eyes held a mixture of confusion and fear. But that was something she would never be able to catch onto.
God what the fuck was he saying
The girl sighed and shook her head a little, trying to wrap her head around what was happening. "I mean..Medical bills won't be a problem, my family's wealthy enough to be able to cover that without a problem..I just..I thought you were passionate about this college course and wanting to succeed? Its not some kind of puppy you raise, can leave at home for the day and to come back at the end of the day and feed it and sometimes throw a stick around, Tsuki-"
"Do i look like an idiot to you?" Tsukishima said with narrowed eyebrows, tapping his finger on his other arm impatiently. Surely, he fooled around with her, but Tsukishima couldn't stand the way she thought she was better and smarter than him.
The girl rolled her eyes and sighed. "You know what i mean" She snapped back. "Its gonna be a big responsibility, its gonna get in the way of you making it big out there."
Once again, a silence fell over the dorm.
Tsukishima's thoughts were screaming at him. Telling him this decision was an impulsive one, how he had to think it through first and asking him over and over again what he was thinking. He knitted his eyebrows together and stared at the ground, slowly nodding.
"I know what i'm doing"
No he did not
The girl nodded and shrugged, her eyes glancing to the clock hanging on his wall. She looked back at Tsukishima and hummed, pushing herself off of the desk. "Well, okay then. I've got class in ten minutes, we'll discuss the details later on. Take care" She said, pushing herself off of the desk. Her hand reached out for Tsukishima's shoulder and gave it a small squeeze, something which made Tsukishima just the slightest bit uncomfortable.
He didn't even say anything, simply too caught up with the sea of a void that suddenly washed over him. It numbed all of his thoughts, all of his surroundings as the thumping of his own heartbeat echoed in his ear.
The click of his dorm room falling back into its lock flew past him, not even having noticed the girl had left. Tsukishima stood there for about 10 minutes until he was pulled back to the surface, something which made him fall back onto his bed. He put his elbows on his knees, his hands raking through his hair as he looked at his ground with slightly panicked eyes.
He let out a long sigh, his hand running over his face as he threw his head back and leaned it against the wall. It was already dark, the only people outside being the ones going to their night classes. It was cold, after all it was October and the weather hadn't been exactly the nicest out.
Tsukishima glanced out of his window, his eyes following the form of the girl who was just left his dorm and was now running outside to arrive at her class in time. His eyes were locked onto her until she had turned a corner, now out of sight.
What did he just agree to?
He let his eyes slowly slide down from his window to his bed, a place where his phone was resting. Without really thinking about it, he reached out for the phone, pressing a few buttons before bringing it up to his ear.
"..Tadashi? I..i fucked up"
Nine months felt a lot longer than it usually did. While a school year usually felt like it flew by rather quickly to Tsukishima, these past few months felt like as if there was a chain with a heavy ball chained to his ankles. Every minute, every second felt like it took forever.
As the trees lost their leaves, the snow covered the ground. As the snow melted away, the flowers started blooming again. As the flowers grew higher, the temperature did too. With every transmission, Tsukishima's feet grew heavier and heavier. It all lead up to that one moment. One moment that would change his life forever, a moment he'd remember till' the day he'd die.
As the seconds ticked by, they turned into minutes. As the small hand of the clock moved forward made a full circle, the hours started moving by. Slow, very slowly. Tsukishima lost sense of time, sitting in that chair waiting for someone to give him a sign and to inform him of the slightest bit of news. Anything.
His thoughts even stopped at some point. Surely he was panicking internally and the fact that his phone kept buzzing in his pocket, his family and Yamaguchi repeatedly asking him how it was going, didn't make it any better. Hell, the fact Yamaguchi managed to leak the information to his old teammates didn't soothen the buzz in his pockets at all. But he just stared at a wall.
The ticking of the clock, the water that dripped from the tap, the foot steps from the nurses, the distant screams of agony and the phone that rang every 15 minutes in the nurses office started to feel like a pattern. A never ending pattern that had repeated itself almost a million times already.
"Mr. Tsukishima?"
Fuck
Tsukishima's head snapped up and his eyes met the one of an older woman who was wearing a long blue cover up and a mask hanging next to the side of her head. She wore a smile on her face, a tired one, but a happy one. She had discarded the gloves she wore and Tsukishima noticed some light blood smears on the gown she was wearing.
"He's here"
He
In the past 9 months that had passed, Tsukishima had never thought that his feet could feel more heavier. But in that moment it felt as if Medusa herself had locked eyes with him and stared into his golden brown eyes, drinking in his beauty before stiffening his body and turning it into stone.
He didn't notice how his lanky long body had gotten up from the chair he had been sitting at for the past few hours and how he was now silently walking behind the doctor, following in her footsteps as she lead him to a room.
"The mother told me to inform you she didn't want to see your son and that she'd appreciate it if you stayed away for a little while" The nurse said while holding the door for him open.
His son
Tsukishima looked around the room, noticing how extremely empty and silent it was. The beds that were there were empty, waiting for a new patient to arrive. The blind were closed, but it let the slightest bit of light through cascading down onto to the little bin standing in the middle of it, surrounded by two other nurses that were busy with what was inside of it.
The two nurses looked up at him and smiled, one of them walking towards the exit of the room while the other reached out for the bundle of blankets inside of the little bed. She picked it up, stepping towards Tsukishima with a very kind small. One he didn't notice, for his eyes were only focused on the very small baby she held in her hands. "Meet your son" She said while holding the baby out for him, adjusting his hands just slightly so he'd make the baby feel comfortable.
He held out his hands, taking the bundle of blankets into his arms and immediately holding him close to his body. Tsukishima made sure to support his head, remembering all the things he read in a book his mother gifted him after having announced the news. He wouldn't dare to cause the baby any discomfort, it felt as if he was made out of the thinnest porcelain in the world.
"We'll give you a moment, we'll be next door if u need us" Tsukishima heard the older nurse say before the door shut behind her, leaving both him and his son alone in the room.
The baby slightly moved around in his blanket, one of his tiny arms poking through and stretching out towards Tsukishima's face before returning back into the comfort of his warm cocoon. A small yawn left the baby's mouth, a sight that made Tsukishima's eyes soften.
"Someone's pretty tired, huh? Nine months of sleep ain't enough for you, buddy?" He whispered, peering into the little eyes that were slowly opening up revealing a very familar pair of golden brown ones although his appeared to be just a bit more darker. It also didn't Tsukishima long before he noticed the dark blonde hairs poking out of his hat, ones that almost matched his own but just being a shade darker than his own.
He grinned and stroked the baby's cheek, taking in every detail of his face. "Aren't you just a sight for sore eyes, like i'm looking into a mirror." Tsukishima said with a short snicker.
In that very moment, Tsukishima felt his feet get lighter. The heavy chain on his feet he carried around for months that got heavier and heavier broke, just by the single stare the boy had on him. He didn't care anymore, about what he was gonna do in the future. He didn't care about if he'd still be able to finish college or if he was gonna be able to pull through.
Every thing he did, was gonna be for him. Every decision he made, was gonna be with him in the back of his mind. Every thing decent nice thing he did, he did hoping he could be somewhat proud of his old man.
And so, from 7 years from that moment, on Tsukishima was going to have a succesful career. One he had achieved after graduating from college, something he couldn't of have done without the motivation he had after his son was born and he was going to make sure his son was always first with whatever he did.
"Welcome to the world, Kaoru"

Heartbreak Hotel Pt. 2
Bloodline Family Series
Koda needed to go home. He couldn't be in Miami right now. No matter how juvenile it sounded he wanted his parents, he wanted them to tell him it would be okay and how he could fix it so it wouldn't hurt anymore. When he got in the house Roman was running around with Messiah and Micah, laughing and smiling. Seeing it brought a small smile to his face. His little brothers noticed him and ran straight for him, attacking his legs. Koda picked them both up kissing their cheeks.
"Brody, you home!" Micah squealed happily.
"We fight?" Messiah asked.
Roman approached his boys, pulling the three year olds from Koda's arms putting them on the floor. He ignored their pouting and squatted to their level.
"It's naptime. You guys go on upstairs, get your sister and get in me and Mommy's bed. Good deal?" He asked.
"Him stay?" Messiah asked looking at Koda, who nodded.
"I'm not leavin. I'll be here a few days, SiSi." (like sigh)
Koda followed Roman to his man cave after the boys had gone upstairs. Both men sat on the large sofa.
"What's botherin you, Ko?"
Koda shook his head then rubbed at his eyes. "Nothin, I'm good."
"Come on now, son." Roman said squeezing his shoulder. "I know you better than that. Your eyes are red and misty, your face is red and your hair isn't done. So I'll ask again, what's botherin you?"
Koda opened his mouth but nothing came out. He couldn't bring himself to say it. Instead he cried, he cried like he had done the past two days whenever he was alone. He felt this pain was unbearable. Roman watched his oldest for a second, it had been a while since he'd seen him cry like this.
"What's goin on, son? What happened?" Roman asked.
"It's Parker, Pop," he explained through his sobbing.
Roman started to worry, he thought the worst.
"What about her? Is she pregnant? Did something happen to her, Ko?"He nodded, holding his head down. "What are you nodding to?"
Koda looked up at his dad trying to hold back the rest of his tears. When he opened his mouth this time, Kandice walked in. She saw him crying and rushed to sit beside him, pulling his head to her chest.
"What's wrong with my baby, Roman? What did you do?"
Laughing a little, Roman shook his head at his wife. Whenever any of their kids were crying she asked that question. It didn't matter if they both entered together she still asked. "I didn't do anything to your baby, Kandi. He was gonna tell me but he started crying."
Koda sat up, out of her hold, trying to slow down the tears. His head was starting to hurt and he didn't want to deal with that. "Friday after my game she wanted me to go to this party with her," he started slowly. "We won and I usually go to whatever after party but I played all four quarters, I was tired. But she went."
Kandice sucked her teeth at him. "Boy, you better not be crying cause she went to a party without you."
Roman glared at his wife, "Hush, Kandi. Let him finish."
"Fine, fine," she said putting her hands up. "Go head, Ko."
Koda scratched his growing beard. "She came over Sunday and I guess that's when Eli and Lo found out and showed it to me."
"Showed you what," Roman asked.Koda couldn't look at either of his parents.
"She was mad at me for not goin with her so she," he paused feeling his anger and more tears starting to rise. Kandice rubbed his back and Roman told him to go on.
"She fu- had sex with these dudes that play for Auburn on Instagram live."
"She what?" Kandice yelled making Koda jump.
"I asked her and she just kept saying she was sorry, over and over. But that don't fix this shit," he cried putting his head down.
Roman nodded his head at Kandice for her to leave them. She didn't want to go but she knew it would be better for Koda if she did. Once she was out of the room and in the kitchen, she called Apryl and Trinity to vent while Koda continued to vent to Roman.
"I treated her exactly how you taught me, Pop. I did what I was supposed to do and she did that."
"You did what you were supposed to do, Koda. You can't control what someone else does."
"I love her, she said she loved me too. I don't go to one party and that's what she does," he yelled out of frustration. "Then she came straight to the apartment after the party and kissed me in my mouth."
Roman didn't want to ask but he knew he needed to.
"Did yall have sex that night?" Koda nodded making him sigh. "You used a hat?"
"Yeah. She told me not to, we almost didn't cause she got mad about me wearing one. Now I know why." He said bitterly.
That made Roman happy. His son had listened to something.
"What about oral?"
"She did. I didn't," Koda shrugged sitting back, "It was late. I ain't want her to wake E and Lo up."
While Roman continued to calm Koda down, Kandice was trying to calm her nerves on the phone. Apryl was playing devil's advocate and Trinity was the peace maker.
"I say you grab your bat, Kandi. I'll bring my knife and Trin will bring her taser. It'll be a nice lil trip to Miami."
"No," Trinity chastised, "We're not jumping that lil girl. That's not gonna make him feel any better."
"Hell, it'll make us feel a whole lot better."
"No, Apryl."
Kandice laughed. "Where was this energy when that girl broke Eli's heart? We had to barricade you in the house tp keep you from jumping on that girl."
"I don't recall," Trinity laughed.
Roman had pretty much calmed his son down and gotten him to sit back down. He'd thrown his arm around Koda squeezing his shoulder lovingly.
"Look, I'm not gonna tell you that this hurt is gonna go away cause its not. One day it just won't hurt as bad. And I won't tell you that you'll forget about it cause you won't. But I will say," Roman spoke softly, "One day you'll think about this and be thankful. You'll realize there was a reason for this."
Koda nodded listening to his dad.
"But dont let this pain just continue to hurt you. You gotta learn from it."
"Learn what?" Koda asked looking up.
"Later on when you're thinking about this you'll remember things that happened that didn't add up, that there were red flags for you and you'll learn not to ignore those things. You'll realize what you do6nt like in a partner and what you do. Understand?"
"Yes, sir. Thanks, Pops. I love you"
Koda loved the bond he had with his dad. There was nothing else in his life like it. Eli and Milo are his best friends but his dad was his first best friend.
Roman pulled his son into a hug, squeezing him tight. He kissed his head before letting go. "I love you too, Ko. Go share some of that love with ya mama before she gets jealous."
Laughing, Koda got up to go to the kitchen. When he got to the kitchen Kandice hurried off the phone and engulfed him in a big hug when he was close enough. Even though he's a foot and some inches taller than her, she still cradled him like she did when he was a baby. She hugged him tight, holding back tears, until he pulled away.
"Aight, ma. I gotta stop or Ima cry again."
Kandice laughed a little, happy to see him in better spirits.
"I'm sorry. Yall know I don't play about my babies so I had to love on you."
"I know, Ma. Thank you."
"You're welcome. Koda?"
"Yes ma'am," he answered softly. He leaned against the island with his hands pushed into the pockets of his sweat pants.
"Don't let one person ruin your mood. You hold your head up like the man that you are. This hurts now but you'll be given something much better."
Koda nodded listening to his mama talk.
"When you get back to that campus, I want you to hold your head up, put you some clothes on and do your hair. You be the man me and your Daddy raised you to be. Understand?"
"Yes ma'am. Thank y'all. I had to come home, I couldn't stay there like this."
Kandice nodded, she understood.
"Did Milo and Eli help?"
"Yeah, they tried but this wasn't something they could really help with. I needed you and Pops."
Kandice went to Koda putting her hands on his face. Leaning up on her toes and pulling his head down she kissed his forehead and whispered a prayer over him.
"I love you, Mama." He admitted softly.
"I love you too, baby boy. Always and forever."
A few days later, Koda was back on campus. He needed the break away from everything, it did him good. By the time he got back, everyone had found out what Parker did to Koda. They were hard on her. Everyone knew how well he treated her and took care of her so they thought it was stupid of her to cheat on Koda the way she did. Girls were constantly trying to steal Koda from Parker only to find out how faithful and committed to Parker he was.
Eli and Milo had finally gotten him to come to a house party with them. He did what his mama told him to do. He got dressed, did his hair and got himself together.
As the cousins walked into the house party, a girl bumped into Koda. He caught her around her waist before she could fall to the floor. When he opened his mouth to apologize, she stopped him.
Tumblr media
"Don't," she smiled, "It was my fault. I'm clumsy."
"But still," Koda said still holding onto her, "You aight?"
"Yeah, I'm good. I promise."
Tumblr media
"Aight then, sweetheart. You be careful." He nodded letting her go
"I'll try."
She laughed as she walked off. Koda watched her until Eli smacked his arm playfully.
"My boy is back!"
The laughing cousins moved quickly through the party to the kitchen. Milo grabbed them each a beer and passed them to his cousins.
"Here, here," Milo laughed raising his beer, "To our cousin. Haven't been single but a week and half and already got girls tripping over him!"

Conversation
text: raquel ⇄ charlie
Raquel: note to self and to you: best steak dinner really is at maestros. Even if it was like really expensive.
Charlie: was that just a note or just a way to tell me we're going there at some point?
Raquel: no, I don't want to go there ever again. It's way too stuck up and it's like every table has people whose life mission is to be an asshole. Really I just thought I'm here and my mom is probably going to pay the bill so why not go for the 100 dollar steak
Raquel: but then she said we should split the bill. So I guess my plan backfired in a way.
Charlie: sounds like that place is filled with people like your mother, for example
Charlie: i'm sorry for the 100 dollars steak, btw
Charlie: i'm just asking this because i have to, but you don't have to answer. do you want to talk about your dinner with your mom?
Raquel: yep all the reptilian people with no souls go there.
Raquel: it's okay. But maybe it wouldn't be so bad if I could get like a to go order of that just so that you could try it.
Raquel: I don't know. I don't know how I'm supposed to feel.
Raquel: it's like no matter what I do, I'm not good enough. It's like she just can't be happy for me. And she always has an opinion on something and I know she is my mom and I have tried so hard being a good daughter and a good person and no matter what it doesn't matter because the bar she sets just keeps on moving. I don't know what to do.
Raquel: and her personal opinions are all completely wrong. I don't know how I came from a person like that or how one person can just be so frustrating. And how can I still want her in my life? It's crazy. But she's my mom.
Charlie: we can go and get steaks for less money and do them at home, babe
Charlie: am i allowed to say she's a shithead?
Charlie: what did she say? what does she want from you now?
Raquel: I would be completely okay with that. The less interaction with that restaurant the better. I was surprised they even let me in.
Raquel: Other than saying she wants to be a part of my life I don't know. She thinks she has a right to have an opinion on everything I do and what my life should look like and I just can't stand it. And I know I'm crazy for wanting her attention and approval but she's all i have other than you.
Raquel: maybe I was better off not having her in my life.
Charlie: yeah, we better not go to a place where the reptilians meet.
Charlie: who cares about that? you're on your way to making it big and you're happy, that's what matters. you shouldn't really care about what she thinks.
Charlie: look, i've been lucky in the parents department and i'm glad neither of them was like yours, but shit, i haven't met her and i don't like her.
Charlie: maybe, but that's up to you. don't people say that family is not necessarily the people who share your blood?
Raquel: promise that if I ever get even a tiny bit diva like that you'll tell me and make sure I never become "that" person.
Raquel: I'm extremely happy. You make me happier than I have been in so long.
Raquel: trust me you aren't winning any points from her either. But that's the one thing I told her I do not care about
Raquel: I guess you're right, that is what they say.
Charlie: i'll tell you and if i have to snap you out of it, i will. i won't let you become your mother
Charlie: you're welcome. you make me really happy too and it's been a while since i was this happy, babe.
Charlie: wait, what do you mean with that? did you tell her about me?
Raquel: Thank you.
Raquel: well good because I plan on making you happy all the time.
Raquel: She asked about Nathan so yeah I told her about you.
Charlie: i like the sound of that. i intend of doing the same
Charlie: so i guess she doesn't like the idea of you being with a poor bartender while you could have Nathan as your fancy boyfriend, right?
Raquel: please don't do that. You're so much more than just a bartender. You're a future business owner and you know i don't care about Nathan. I don't care about money and yeah nathan had a lot of it but that didn't make me happy. My mom is materialistic and vain. Of course she wants me with Nathan, but none of that matters.
Charlie: i know you don't care about the money and shit, but that's what i am right now. i'm broke, i'm a bartender and until i get my chance to get a business that's what i'll be.
Charlie: but i appreciate you telling me i'm more than that and all that shit doesn't matter, i really do
Raquel: I just don't want you thinking that's what I see you as because I don't.
Raquel: did you ever think money did matter to me?
Charlie: i don't think that.
Charlie: nah, money is a nice plus but i never pegged you for that kind of girl. otherwise you'd be with Nathan and not with me, not even like the way we are right now
Raquel: what does that mean? Even the way we are now?
Charlie: we're still lowkey because you haven't broken up with him, right? unless... you did and i didn't get the signs, which wouldn't surprise me.
Raquel: babe, I broke up with Nathan a while ago. I told you I'm all yours and I didn't just mean that emotionally. I meant that completely. There's no more hiding this.
Charlie: are you serious? like, you're being serious right now?
Charlie: now i feel dumb for not seeing the signs.
Raquel: I thought you had already picked up on it.
Raquel: I thought that's why you told me what you did.
Raquel: you're really cute when you're clueless. i just want you to know that.
Raquel: wait so yesterday when we were at my house the whole time I was getting ready where did you think I was going?
Charlie: apparently, i didn't
Charlie: i don't think i'm cute when i'm clueless but thank you?
Charlie: until you mentioned it was with your mother, i was pretty sure you were going to have dinner with Nathan
Raquel: that explains a lot.
Raquel: you can stop thinking that now.
Raquel: You don't have to worry about me dating someone else now or about hiding what we have or about thinking I'm choosing someone over you because I chose you.
Charlie: so, now we don't have to hide, any ideas of where to go?
Raquel: is that your way of saying you want to show me off?
Charlie: that, bc i'm proud of you, and because i want to go out with you now we're not hiding anymore
Charlie: unless you want to take things slow, even if we fuck a lot already, which is the opposite of taking things slow
Raquel: I want to take things at whatever pace you want to take them. I am all for going out. I want to be the one to show you off.
Raquel: let's just do the whole slower thing when we're actually in the bedroom and even then we won't do that every time because most of the time I just need you.
Charlie: so i guess we're going out. are you free later? i have a night off so if you're also free we could, i don't know, grab dinner somewhere.
Charlie: babe, it's impossible for us to go slow in the bedroom, or i'm speaking for myself at least
Raquel: I actually have to work tonight :( how about after I come over to your place and we can just sleep. I have Sunday night free.
Raquel: It's not impossible. Maybe I just have to teach you how to go slow.
Charlie: :(
Charlie: that sounds like a good plan. you can spend the night here, i'd love that
Charlie: then we'll go out on Sunday. think about places you want to go, babe
Charlie: you think? because as much as you can teach me, you know i can't keep my hands to myself around you, and it happens to you too.
Raquel: me waking up next to you sounds like a great plan.
Raquel: I already know where I want to go but I won't tell you until then.
Raquel: I think there is a lot I can still teach you. Even if you can't keep your hands to yourself. I can keep my hands to myself but like the cheesy Selena Gomez song I could but why would I want to when I have the hottest, sexiest and most caring boyfriend?
Charlie: good. i'll stay home and finish one of the books with a drink in hand. if i fall asleep, you know where i keep my spare key
Charlie: oh, surprise me then
Charlie: oh really? what you have to teach me that i haven't taught you already?
Charlie: don't keep them to yourself on my account, you know i like it when you don't do it
Raquel: If I havent said it recently I am so proud of you for sticking with your reading. I'll try not to be too late but don't wait up.
Raquel: you'll be surprised on Sunday.
Raquel: There is a lot I have to teach you. Going slow is just one thing but I have to think of other things for my lesson plans.
Charlie: you say it every now and then, but you don't need to say it. thank you, and i'm very invested in this, which was your idea in first place and you encouraged me to go for it, so i have to thank you for that
Charlie: i'll probably be asleep by then, but i'll stay up for a bit anyways
Charlie: oh yeah? what can you teach me besides that? you can't teach me anything kinky because babe, i'm your teacher in that department
Raquel: I'd like to think that you would have come up with the same idea sooner or later. I just planted the seed earlier on.
Raquel: Just try not to stay up too late okay? I don't want you losing sleep over me.
Raquel: I don't know. You're amazing in the sex department like the best I've ever had but that doesn't mean you know it all. There have to be a few things that you haven't tried yet and want to do with me.
Charlie: still, thank you for doing that. you're so supportive and no one has been that since i arrived here
Charlie: yes ma'am
Charlie: you're welcome for the mindblowing sex, babe
Charlie: then make a list. that will be our kinky list and we'll do all of that
Raquel: well it's not like you aren't supportive of my dreams. It takes a lot for someone to not just say that I'm the millionth girl in la that wants to make acting dreams happen but instead of you blowing that off you actually support me.
Raquel: careful. I actually might start liking the ma'am thing even if it's new.
Raquel: as if my orgasm wasn't enough of a you're welcome.
Raquel: all of it and I can't be the only one adding to that list. And second: the only restriction is no other people. There's no way I'm sharing you. Someone might get clingy.
Charlie: you may be the millionth girl in LA who wants to be an actress, but let me tell you something. you're good and you're really determined, so if someone tells you that, they suck balls
Charlie: add it to the kinky list then.
Charlie: i'll be adding things too. i mean, i'm pretty sure there are kinky things we haven't done yet.
Charlie: i wasn't thinking of having any threesome or anything and sharing you with other people, but that's a good rule to add. that would be too much even for me, and that comes from me. no, i'm not sharing you either.
Raquel: you keep talking like that and you might not need to wait until morning for sex
Raquel: maybe I will. I can go full on dominatrix.
Raquel: there have to be but I guess when I have let you do so much it's hard to think of what else I can let you do to me.
Raquel: so there's no weird voyeurism kink? You din't want to like watch some other guy have sex with me or something weird?
Charlie: so we could have sleepy sex in the middle of the night? then i'm going to bed early, just in case
Charlie: that's something i'd like to see, bring it on.
Charlie: there must be something, we just have to think of what we've done and what we haven't.
Charlie: i won't deny that seeing you with another woman wouldn't turn me on, but i would probably get jealous at some point, so i think i pass
Raquel: lol maybe. Rest up Tiger, I'm keeping you up all night.
Raquel: as long as I don't have to wear actual leather or pleather.
Raquel: i want a lot of things actually. But it looks like I'm going to be doing a bit of online shopping.
Raquel: another woman? It can still be a fantasy for you. What am I doing in this fantasy and why does it have to be a woman?
Charlie: my neighbors are going to kill me if we have loud sex in the middle of the night... not that i care
Charlie: you could wear a garbage bag and you'd look hot
Charlie: online shopping? now i'm curious
Charlie: i don't know, it was a hot fantasy i woke up to a few weeks after we met. one in which you're making out with one. then you were naked, and then you were fucking her.
Charlie: still, i have no intentions of sharing you with no one, not even a woman.
Raquel: well it's a good thing I don't care about your neighbors at all. This should remind her that you're mine.
Raquel: well garbage bags aren't really what dominatrixes wear so I have to actually get into character babe.
Raquel: mhmm. I want vibrators and a swing and whatever else just magically ends up in my cart.
Raquel: you were having fantasies about me weeks after we met?
Raquel: you totally had a crush on me.
Raquel: good thing I don't want anyone else. You're mine and I'm not afraid to admit that sometimes I get jealous.
Charlie: she should know that already at this point from all the noise we make when we fuck
Charlie: get whatever you want, babe. you'd look hot with everything you choose to wear.
Charlie: you want a sex swing? where would we keep it, babe? are we getting a room for sex toys or what?
Charlie: hey, i was a horny fuckboy who only thought about sex. now i'm just a horny guy who thinks about sex most of the time.
Charlie: and i wasn't crushing, pls
Charlie: good, because i only want you and i can't wait to show you that while we're going out and in bed
Raquel: it doesn't hurt to keep reminding her.
Raquel: I haven't worked out the logistics of where everything would go but no I'm not getting a room just for toys. That would require actually moving.
Raquel: my reformed fuckboy who luckily gets sex most of the time he wants it.
Raquel: you totally were. You had a crush on me. It's okay to admit it.
Raquel: I already do see that. You have a job where you easily could look somewhere else. You have a hot neighbor who wants you. You didn't have to put up with all my crazy or with me being with Nathan. You waited for me and weren't with anyone else and I know it doesn't sound like a lot but it is because like you said you were different before and I know that's scary to think of how much you've changed and I wasn't saying that so that you could freak out. I was saying that because I know before I was insane and jealous and neurotic even but I know now that you only want me and I don't think you realize how much that means to me and I'm going to do whatever it takes to keep proving to you that you're the only person I want too.
Charlie: nope, it doesn't. in fact i love how we do that
Charlie: who do i have to thank because we're not getting our personal red room? because that would be creepy
Charlie: that happens because i know how to get it and because you want lots of sex too. i'm a lucky bastard.
Charlie: oh please, you were the one who had a crush on me, i was the one who wanted to get in your pants
Charlie: babe, it was worth it. you were worth that and more. i could have easily given up at some point, but i didn't because i knew there was something good at the end of it. and i waited and i don't regret it at all. you don't have to prove anything to me because you already did.
Raquel: the fact that you even know what the term red room is is a little scary. That isn't happening. We aren't like completely nymphomaniacs
Raquel: not my fault. I just think you're extremely good looking. Very lucky.
Raquel: No. I liked you, there is a difference. Crushing is like having fantasies and maybe even picturing us together but at the time I didn't really want that. I didn't want to get near you because I figured there was no way I wasn't just going to be a notch on your belt.
Raquel: we are in so much trouble with this love and romance thing.
Charlie: i don't live under a rock. but yeah, not happening. the toys will stay in the bedroom, like normal people has them
Charlie: oh, so it's mostly my face what gets me sex, huh?
Charlie: you can have a sexual fantasy and not have a crush on a person, babe. if that was true, then i'd have had a crush on every girl i had my eye on for a fuck, and trust me, that wasn't the case
Charlie: well, you knew how to work around that and look at us now.
Charlie: so you were trying to not have a crush on me, huh?
Charlie: yep, we've been so fucked up at this, or at least i'm speaking for myself
Raquel: either that or you've been overhearing lots of conversations from horny 40 year olds obsessed with their own Christian Grey.
Raquel: your eyes if I'm being completely honest.
Raquel: okay, true.
Raquel: I figured I'd get hurt in the end so yeah, I tried not having feelings for you. And even after we slept together I thought that that was it.
Raquel: nope, it looks like both of us weren't good at this to begin with but that's okay because the whole fairytale romance thing is overrated anyway.
Charlie: the day i looked him up on the internet bc a few ladies were talking about it while i was working... he's a piece of shit
Charlie: that's good to know
Charlie: well, it's a good thing you ended up having them
Charlie: yeah, that doesn't really exist, right? a relationship has its up and downs and nothing is perfect
Raquel: you and your research. Entitled rich guy with abusive tendencies along with being a full on rapist. Yeah, he's horrible. And unfortunately I know a few people who are him in training.
Raquel: a good thing only because it worked out for us in the end. Otherwise I would have had to stand by and watch you with any girl that gave you the eye.
Raquel: even now there might be ups and downs. I don't want it to be perfect. I just want us to keep working together and just not give up on each other like we did before.
Charlie: i regret looking it up. i have to admit i'm a kinky person, but as i said, that guy is a piece of shit.
Charlie: that would be awkward and i guess you didn't like to see me flirting with them. i guess you won't like it now, even if i do it for the tips
Charlie: it won't, i'm pretty sure. it doesn't have to be perfect and no, i won't give up like we did when we broke up. promise me you won't either
Raquel: you're kinky but you aren't abusive and you've never made me do something I haven't wanted to do. You're nothing like him.
Raquel: I understand why you would flirt but you're right. I don't have to like it. I just know that it's something that comes with your job. Just like how I hope you understand that what I want to do and that me becoming an actress can mean that sometimes I might have to kiss or pretend to be in love with someone else.
Raquel: I promise.
Charlie: i promise to not become that
Charlie: i do understand that. i won't exactly like it but i'll have to suck it up. besides, i know all of that will be fake and that i'll be the one getting all of that and more
Charlie: good
Charlie: going back to our kinky list, i came up with an idea i want to add, but i need to ask you something
Raquel: Oh, trust me. Just like how you said you wouldn't let me become my mom there's no way I'm letting you become anyone other than yourself.
Raquel: so you won't get jealous? Now even seeing me at work and maybe having to flirt too?
Raquel: okay. What do you have to ask?
Charlie: then we have a deal. we won't let the other become someone else.
Charlie: i can't promise anything yet, but i'll work on it. all i know is that i'm the one you kiss and fuck after all
Charlie: how do you feel about being filmed? like, when you're touching yourself or when you have sex
Raquel: not in a million years. You're stuck being the same person or at least growing with me and not regressing into a horrible human being.
Raquel: and I con promise that no matter what no matter who might like me you're the one person I want and the one person who I'll come home to every night.
Raquel: I don't know hot to answer that.
Raquel: I trust you and I know that we could but I have to keep my future in mind. Someone gets a hold of a sex tape and my career can be over before it even starts. It doesn't mean i don't want to. Do you really want to? What would you do with it? Just keep it?
Charlie: yes, ma'am
Charlie: i like the sound of that. i won't really know how will i feel when you kiss someone else, but that's your job, but all i know is that i'll be proud of you because you'll do a good job
Charlie: yeah, that would be unfortunate. i asked you because i know things like that could happen.
Charlie: well, i think it's hot and it would be good material for lonely nights, but that's up to you. i would never make you do something you don't want to, especially because your job could be in jeopardy if someone leaks it
Charlie: i would keep a copy to jerk off to it whenever you're off somewhere to film whatever gig you land. i would send you one too, but that's it.
Raquel: well I don't want to say hopefully you'll find out soon but I do have an audition in a week for a " Ex Machina meets Silicon Valley." indie film about love i mn the modern age. I don't even know what half of it means but I just know they want me to read for the lead.
Raquel: I know, and I love that you asked instead of just putting a camera in front of me when it was go time.
Raquel: lonely night? Are you already planning on having a lot of those? And what if there's a project that's for a long period of time? Would you stay here?
Charlie: sounds interesting, you'll do it great! do you have to leave LA or something?
Charlie: i could have already installed a camera, but no, i prefer to ask you first
Charlie: well, depends on what do you want. do you want me to go with you every time you get a movie, even if it's for a short period of time?
Raquel: Well the listing just said that it would film in various places but mostly in LA. They're sending me my reading tonight
Raquel: maybe you could install the camera, or whatever you want to record me on.
Raquel: I want you to do whatever you want to do. I just know that if i have to be gone for a long time that it'll be hard on me. I miss you when I have to go to work. How am I supposed to survive like weeks of filming sometimes? And that's if it's just a movie. What if I get like a tv show? I never want to leave la. I know that but maybe if it's for a short period of time leaving you to yourself would be a good thing. I just don't want to have to go weeks without seeing my boyfriend.
Charlie: nah, that's creepy. i'm not the kind of guy who install cameras to spy on girlfriends. if we do this, i want you to give me your full consent.
Charlie: if anything, i could film myself getting off and send you videos as an alternative, although that isn't the same.
Charlie: well, if it's not for longer than a day or two i could stay here, but if it's for longer i would definitely go with you. i'd miss you too.
Charlie: we have skype and facetime in case i can't go with you, but let's hope we don't have to use them often
Raquel: It's not like you have had many girlfriends but yes this is me saying we can do this but we have to be really careful.
Raquel: that wouldn't be the same thing and maybe that's more for like snapchat or something.
Raquel: really? A day or two is all you can go without me?
Raquel: how about I promise that if my shoots take longer than a week or two that I'll fly back somehow just to spend time with you. You'll never have to go without me for too long. And I'll always talk to you before I take a long job because we're a team and I can't just make decisions for the both of us.
Charlie: you get my point, but yeah. we have to be careful when we do this because the last thing i want to do is to ruin your career. this will be for personal uses, because i'm pretty sure we look hot as fuck while fucking and it's better than porn
Charlie: well, i'm down to send you videos of me masturbating on those nights when you're away, if that's what you want
Charlie: well, more or less. maybe three days or four
Charlie: that sounds fair. i mean, we'd have to talk about it like you said to see if it works for us, but yeah, we can do that
Raquel: okay we can do it even if I don't really understand because when I'm away is when you can actually watch as much porn as you really want.
Raquel: I'd want videos. Even if all they'll do is make me want you even more.
Raquel: Okay I think I can only do four days too.
Raquel: and when you open the bar that takes priority no matter what. No exceptions.
Charlie: not all porn is good, babe. there are crappy videos and i prefer to see my girl naked
Charlie: then you'll get videos of me, naked and getting off while thinking of you, cock in hand. that's the purpose of it. that and making you want to touch yourself
Charlie: of course, babe. maybe i could get out for a couple of days and that's it, but our baby will get the attention.
Charlie: i mean, the bar. because it'll be somewhat ours.
Raquel: but some porn is. Not that I'm pushing you to watch. I actually think it's sweet that you'd rather watch us than anyone else.
Raquel: and I'm supposed to last at least four days just thinking about you and only touching myself?
Raquel: No, the bar will be yours. Your name, your business. I just support you in whatever way I can. It'll be your baby and I'll just watch my baby run it.
Raquel: and I know what you meant. You didn't have to clarify the whole baby thing because there's no way either one of us is thinking of a baby any time.
Charlie: i may watch any, we'll see about it
Charlie: probably. i think you'll survive without my tongue and cock. think about how hot will be the sex once we see each other again. plus, the thought of you getting off because i'm not there is hot
Charlie: i was hoping you would be somewhere in the papers and all the shit i'll have to go through, but i appreciate it too. all the help is welcome
Charlie: yeah, because when you become an actress and i own a bar, it'll be nearly impossible to raise a kid, or at least that's how i see it now
Raquel: porn is your only way you can really think about another woman so if I were you I'd take as much porn action as I can get.
Raquel: I'm not really one for delayed gratification. Cuming by myself isn't the same as when you make me do it.
Raquel: okay I'll be on whatever you need me to be on but I just want you to know that this is yours and your bar and me are the two things in life that are completely yours.
Raquel: even when we're both settled and have our careers it would be hard. I don't know if that's something I'm ready for at any time of my life.
Charlie: i'll look for good porn then and i'll think of you, that way i'll be inspired to add things to our kinky list
Charlie: then i'll give you two orgasms for each orgasm you get by yourself, and for each time you don't reach it i'll make it up for it.
Charlie: you and my bar are mine. fuck, that sounds even beautiful
Charlie: i think neither of us will be ready for it.
Raquel: so even then you aren't going to be thinking of other girls?
Raquel: so whenever I go away and do come back I should just clear my schedule for a week is what you're saying?
Raquel: yep me and your bar. Yours forever.
Raquel: so we're on the same page. No kids for us.
Charlie: i'll try not to, but i'll try to focus on how hot is my girlfriend and how much i want her naked while i watch porn
Charlie: do you watch any and think of me?
Charlie: not for a week, but at least for a whole day so i can fuck you and make up for all the days i didn't
Charlie: i love it. i love you
Charlie: exactly. no kids for us. never.
Raquel: well if you do that's completely okay.
Raquel: nope not at all. When I watch I'm totally thinking about one of the famous chris' duh.
Raquel: if you think you can make up for everything in one day you really must not get how much and how often I think about you.
Raquel: I love you too. So much and I'm so glad we're on the same page. I don't think that's something I would have been able to compromise on and not being able to give you something you wanted would have killed me. I want to give you everything you've ever wanted.
Charlie: should i be offended, babe? tell me about which one of them at least
Charlie: i'll probably need the whole day and at least next morning to do that, but what if you just have one day to see me?
Charlie: me too. i don't want to pressure you to do anything you don't want to, whether it is something kinky or something as big as having a baby. i wouldn't be able to live with that
Raquel: well there's Hemsworth and sometimes Evans but honestly it's rare. I don't think you can get offended because it's not like I have them and chances are they aren't as good in bed to begin with.
Raquel: if I just have one day then idk I might just have to leave sexually frustrated.
Raquel: trust me, you have never pressured me to do something I didn't want to do. You've supported me and been in my corner even when i was with someone else. And if you ever feel like I'm pressuring you with anything I want you to tell me.
Charlie: i happen to think i'm prettier than those guys
Charlie: if i ever let you leave my apartment and you're sexually frustrated that means i didn't do a good job at satisfying you
Charlie: i will let you know, and you haven't pressured me to do anything either, so you're good
Raquel: of course you would.
Raquel: that just means I would never leave your apartment because me being completely satisfied of you is never really going to happen.
Raquel: I have to go flirt with skeezy old men now but enjoy your reading. I love you and I'll see you later tonight.
Charlie: don't you agree with that? i mean, they're hot, but
Charlie: i can at least satisfy you enough to survive until the next time
Charlie: ouch, that sucks, but hopefully that will be over soon.
Charlie: see you later, although i'll be asleep by the time you're here
Raquel: but they're not you. Yes I agree.
Raquel: okay maybe that's true because if not we really would never leave and we'd just have to live off sex and sunshine.
Raquel: rest up. I'm already planning on keeping you up all night so see ya later.
