"A vida de todos mudou muito nos últimos meses.
Anne e Johanna, que namoravam a um tempo considerável, finalmente decidiram morar juntas. Não foi uma decisão fácil, claro. Houve uma pequena reunião com seus filhos e assim que ambos aprovaram a ideia, o casal teve a certeza de que era a coisa certa.
Quando se mudaram, as coisas foram confusas pela alteração de rotina, os garotos se viam apenas algumas vezes na semana e agora, estavam aprendendo a conviver todos os dias. Acabou não sendo uma tarefa tão difícil, já que eles amavam a companhia um do outro.
Louis e Harry se deram bem desde o começo do relacionamento de suas mães, uma conexão genuína e que agradava a ambos apesar da pequena diferença de idade, o de olhos azuis tinha vinte e três e o de olhos verdes faria dezenove em alguns meses.
Harry terminava o último ano do ensino médio e Louis fazia faculdade de música, isso ocupava uma certa quantia do tempo deles, mas não parecia os afetar, já que no tempo livre, ficavam praticamente grudados o tempo inteiro e até de longe, era notável como se davam bem. O que, para suas mães, era incrível, elas não tinham dúvidas do quanto se amavam e eram ótimos irmãos.
O de olhos azuis sempre quis um irmãozinho para cuidar, mas ele não contava com o fato de que poderia sentir por Harry muito mais do que somente um amor fraternal. Assim que Jay o contou que estava namorando com uma linda mulher e que ela tinha um adorável filho, com certeza Louis não imaginou que este seria como o de cachos. Claro, ele se contia em apenas admirá-lo e, apesar de tudo, o tratava como irmão mais novo. O ajudava no que ele precisava e o dava muito carinho, já que Styles parecia mais como um poço de grude e chamegos.
Vinha sendo bem difícil estar na pele de Tomlinson. Harry era apenas tão lindo e adorável, seus lábios gordinhos e róseos absolutamente tão beijáveis, que Louis não se impedia de olhá-los com desejo; seu corpo era como um abismo de perdição, cada curvinha o enlouquecia e sua tez macia o deixava insano, imaginando como seria tocá-la e o marcar como seu; os cachinhos e as covinhas o cativava de uma maneira sem igual.
É… Provavelmente Louis estava perdido. Ou talvez, apaixonado.
A única coisa que o deixava mais tranquilo, era o fato de que não eram irmãos consanguíneos. Para falar a verdade, ele nem conseguia olhar Styles como tal.
O que Louis nem sequer cogitava, era que para Harry, as coisas nem eram assim tão diferentes.
Era a coisa mais árdua do mundo se segurar e não somente dar voz à vontade que tinha de entregar-se a ele; esfregar-se em seu irmão até que não aguentasse mais, principalmente quando estava em seu colo, sentindo aquelas coxas bonitas e fortes abaixo de si, ou, quando ficava bem pertinho e jurava sentir seu membro sobre os tecidos. Louis só era incondicionalmente tão belo e tentador, seus músculos definidos na proporção certa, seu maxilar marcado e os lábios finos e atraentes. Sem contar que o cacheado era fascinado por aquele cabelo lisinho e despojado.
Vivia agarrado no Tomlinson, além de uma parte sua ser extremamente carente – o que não parecia incomodar o rapaz –, a outra queria tanto sentir o corpo bronzeado no seu, sentir a pele quente na sua. Ademais que amava ter as mãos dele em si, por conta dos instrumentos que tocava – principalmente guitarra – seus dedos eram um tanto calejados e era simplesmente muito gostosinho senti-los passearem por seu corpinho.
Styles se achava um louco por ter tais pensamentos profanos, porque o, seu mais novo irmão, tratava-o da melhor maneira possível. A todo momento o cuidando e mimando, sendo a pessoa mais incrível de todas. Literalmente fazendo um papel que alegava sempre ter querido, se saindo até melhor nele.
Mas, no final das contas, Louis não conseguia culpar-se por ficar tão duro quando seu irmãozinho usava aqueles malditos shorts de tecido fino que marcavam tanto sua bucetinha gorda – que ele jurava estar sem calcinha –, e Harry também não, não quando sua intimidade ficava inchadinha e pingando excitação quando seu irmão estava apenas existindo.
E bem, era assim que tudo seguia. Louis achava que sua cabeça estava pregando peças cada vez que Harry dava pequenas investidas; este último, jurava que o de olhos azuis o via apenas como um pirralho; e suas mães, alheias ao que acontecia, acreditavam que eles estavam lidando com aquela repentina aproximação da melhor forma que podiam.
E estavam. Até que em certa noite, não se contiveram mais. E decidiram ouvir seus corações, que gritavam, implorando para cederem ao desejo ardente que queimava em suas peles."
Oioi! Como estão?
Eu queria saber se alguém gostaria de ler isso. Nunca postei nada aqui mas sempre tive vontade de desenvolver algo, escrevi esse trecho hj e to realmente bem animada! É só uma ideia inicial q tive nessa manhã enquanto minha mente viajava, se é q me entendem... Enfim, é isso! bjsss

i've got tier lists for obsidian alts and jet alts. no crossover between them tho bc my brain is mush
Obsidian Alts
Power level (pure strength):
Tantalite
Biotite
Onyx
Cherry, Obsidian, Basalt, and Shrike
Gonzalo
Lear, Oleander (Corrupted), and Ro (Corrupted)
Oleander (Uncorrupted)
Manganese
Melanite
Ro (Uncorrupted)
Additional notes:
Manganese gets into fights fairly often, so he's not a complete pushover. His soul's still screwed up, though, which puts him at a huge disadvantage.
Gonzalo, Lear, and Corrupt Ollie only have about half the apple power that everyone in tier 4 and up has, but Gonzalo has eldritch bullshit on his side that enhances his strength slightly.
none of the bastards are happy that tantalite's stronger than all of them. but that's not a surprise to us is it
Neither Ro nor Melanite are used to fighting, and Ro avoids it at all costs.
Most likely to win if they all started fighting (factoring in speed, dexterity, and trickiness):
Tantalite
Biotite
Basalt
Onyx
Shrike
Gonzalo
Obsidian
Cherry
Oleander (Corrupted) and Ro (Corrupted)
Lear
Manganese and Oleander (Uncorrupted)
Melanite and Ro (Uncorrupted)
Additional notes:
Basalt, Shrike, Biotite, and Obsidian fight dirty, but that's not a surprise.
Basalt is unpredictable and doesn't fuck around trying to show off or scare his opponents like some of the others (LEAR. GONZALO. Also Obsidian and Biotite but Lear and Gonzalo especially)
Shrike, Manganese, Gonzalo, and Lear will let the others beat the shit out of each other, and intentionally cause them to hit someone else, to save their own energy. Basalt does too, but not to the same extent.
The previous point is why uncorrupted Ollie and Manganese are tied.
Cherry doesn't want to fight. Neither does Melanite, though Melanite can't really fight at all
Shrike relies more on speed and dexterity than most of his alternates do.
Gonzalo's more likely to win if Petruccio is missing or has been injured by one of the others.
if obsidian saw his place on this list he'd be soooooo mad
Of course, if the ones lower down on the list gang up on some of the ones higher up, that may change. But that's why it's 'most likely' and not an absolute.
Despite his avoidance, Ro's acid is quite potent, and it gets a little boost from surrounding negativity. He could very easily incapacitate or kill the others if they provoke or scare him enough.
Most likely to win if they all started fighting, with no magic:
Basalt
Tantalite
Biotite
Onyx
Shrike and Obsidian
Gonzalo
Lear
Manganese
Oleander
Cherry
Melanite
Ro
Additional notes:
you do not, under any circumstances, want to fight Basalt.
For all the corrupts and radiants, their magic gives them a strength boost. Oleander without his corrupt magic is just normal Oleander. Same with Ro
Shrike is faster and trickier, but Obsidian also is still strong enough to bash your skull open given a solid surface to slam your head into. Who wins between the two entirely depends on the setting.
Cherry and Ollie don't particularly want to fight, but Ollie's more practiced so he wins over Cherry
Gonzalo and Lear have knives, and Gonzalo's just as unpredictable as Basalt; especially as he gets more worked up.
ro baby i love you but you can't fight for shit
In both cases, Gonzalo and Lear's chances of winning go up exponentially if Petruccio and Puck are there backing them up. Similarly, Gonzalo and Petruccio are even more likely to win over Lear and Puck than Gonzalo if it's just Gonzalo and Lear. The DU boys pretty much always know exactly what the other's going to do.
Jet Alts
note: the jet alts in both theater kid AUs technically aren't their own unique alts. they were just thrown into a different version of JMV. For that reason, I won't differentiate between Jet and Nyx, or Astra and Deimos.
Power Level:
Platinum
Ebony
Raven and Rayonnant
Jet, Astra, and Lime
Alkaline
Embraer
Sable and Gecko
Additional notes:
In non-swap AUs, all varients of Jet would rank just below the Obsidian varients they know.
Embraer may be only a negative spirit, but he's done more fighting than some of his alternates, and has been preparing to fight a full corrupt for years.
Most likely to win if they all started fighting:
Ebony
Platinum
Astra and Rayonnant
Raven
Embraer
Jet and Alkaline
Sable and Lime
Gecko
Additional notes:
Lime is fairly powerful, but he would probably just dip if fighting broke out. He's more practiced in fighting that Gecko is, though, so if pressed...
Astra's trickiness and Rayonnant's strong preference for brute force make it hard to tell who'd come out on top. Depends on the setting.
Gecko may know how to fight, but I don't think he'll do great against the four bastards. Fortunately the rest (save alkaline, if they don't already know each other) are probably happy to team up with him and keep him from getting killed.
Sable and Alkaline aren't strangers to fighting, but like with Manganese, Alkaline is a little more used to getting into fights.
Alkaline fights just as dirty as Rayonnant, but he's not quite as strong. Jet could probably take him out if he's careful, but it'd be pretty close.
see notes of Power Levels for Embraer
Most likely to win if they started fighting without magic:
Rayonnant
Ebony
Platinum
Embraer
Astra
Lime
Raven
Jet and Alkaline
Gecko
Sable
Additional notes:
Gecko will do better if the others don't have their enhanced strength.
Lime will freak and do everything he can to get out of there. and if the only way out is through, then by god is he going.
Ebony's not near as fast without his magic, but he's still very dangerous.
With everyone else significantly weakened, Embraer now has the upper hand. Several others are still much stronger and trickier than him, but he's not quite so screwed.

I really love when things I get into that have 0 connection to each other end up having similar things in them. I'm reading a series right now (Wode series by J. Tullos Hennig) and it's got the folklore of the Oak King and Holly King and I pointed like. Hey my favorite podcast is doing that rn too

You also don't need to worry about baggage weight, how many bags you have (within reason), or be all but guaranteed your wheelchair will be damaged in storage. There's more leg room, too, and you can bring a bike so you have personal transportation at the other end.
High speed wouldn't work for some parts of the country while others it wouldn't make sense not to, though such trains can slow down if needed so there's no need to transfer to a different one. They aren't as fast as, say, a Boeing 787 coming in at ~200-250km/h versus ~900km/h but there isn't the need to reach altitude or refuel and you aren't restricted to airports.
There are also some bullet trains that are 300km/h or more, it really comes down to what the track is rated for.
The cost is also typically lower as mentioned and what VIA Rail is doing is a travesty, but that becomes about Crown Corporations being run like private companies with the goal of profite and having to fund themselves as they get little or no taxpayer money despite being a publicly-owned utility.
One of the big issues in Canada is how most of the rail is owned by private companies and they dictate the terms of its usage, which includes how passenger rail must give way to freight rail. Without changing that and having separate track, high speed rail won't happen and passenger rail is not reliable.
TLDR: it's cheap, has less overhead, pollutes less, is more accessible, is easier/safer for passengers, and is typically as fast or faster than flying.
Why do people like high speed rail so much?
Because its public transit, not private transit.
Its significantly cheaper to travel long distances compared to other options like flying or driving. In a lot of cases it may even be faster than flying, and even when its slower, its not slower by a large amount. Its better for the environment, and trains are just cool.

Tumblr media
Oscar always wakes up before his alarm goes off.
He doesn’t bother checking the date anymore. Sunday, May 25, 2025 — the 82nd annual Monaco Grand Prix. It’s sunny outside, a cloudless blue sky stretching endlessly over the glittering harbor. It seems like the perfect day for racing, though it will grow overcast around the 32nd lap and rain will cover the Fairmont Hairpin by lap 41. Lance Stroll always hits the turn going too fast on his inters and skids into the barriers. Oscar knows everything about the day, down to his bones. After all, today will be the 57th time he’s lived it. 
By now, his morning routine doesn’t run on instinct so much as muscle memory. He brushes his teeth, calls his mum and tells her he loves her, listens to her tell him you’ve got this, Osc (which is entirely ironic to him now, because he affirmatively does not “got this.” In fact, he thinks this might be the first time he’s ever done anything 56 times without improving at it even an ounce). He shaves, not because he needs to, but because he knows his stubble will start itching by the time he gets to the media pen. He puts on the team kit that’s always neatly folded on his chair when he wakes, even when he leaves it crumpled on his bedroom floor the night before. At least reliving the same day over and over means he never has to do his laundry.
Here’s what he knows so far (a list, meticulously kept in one of his McLaren notebooks). He’s tentatively titled it Oscar Piastri’s Guide to the Time Loop. 
Number one: the loop resets every day when he falls asleep. 
It doesn’t matter if he makes it past midnight; doesn’t matter if he drinks an absurd and frankly dangerous amount of Red Bulls and drives from Monaco to Woking in one caffeine-crazed night; doesn’t matter if he flies home to Australia after the race, pinching himself to stay awake for the entire twenty-hour flight. The second his eyes close, he wakes up back in Monte Carlo, the sunlight streaming through his curtains. 
Number two: he can alter the day. 
There are some things that are always the same, of course. The team polo on his chair. The rain on the hairpin. The offhand crack Lando makes about him having no social life — a joke that was funny the first time, but gets increasingly cruel every time it repeats. But things can change, too. He can walk a different way through the paddock. He can have different conversations, though nobody remembers them when the day resets. He can drive the race differently, drive it better. Although, even in 55 races (his gearbox crapped out before the start of the race on Day 16), he hasn’t won yet. 
Number three: he can’t die. 
Can’t even get injured, really. He’d gotten a couple bruises and scrapes that seemed to heal overnight, but he’d actually confirmed the theory just a couple loops ago. He made a desperate push to pass Charles on the Nouvelle Chicane, and the back end of the car just… slid out from underneath him. There was a moment, brief and terrifying and calm all at once, that he thought that might be it. The only way out. Then he slammed into the barrier, and the carbon fiber crumpled like paper around him. It’s all bits and pieces, what he can remember after that — fire licking up the back wing, the frantic radio messages in his ears, the flashing lights of the safety car, the med staff swarming the track. Someone he’d never seen before pulling him out of the car, speaking to him in a slightly panicked voice. Blinking up at their face through the haze of pain before he lost consciousness. When he opened his eyes again, he was back in his bed on Sunday morning, not a scratch on him. 
The analytical conclusion Oscar has come to, after 56 days of testing, note-taking, and driving in circles both literal and existential, is that he’s trapped. Inexplicably, inescapably trapped in a day that never really changes, and he can’t for the life of him figure his way out. 
When he gets to the paddock on Day 57, everything is the same. He takes pictures with a few fans as he walks in, jogs slightly to catch up with Lando up ahead, who throws an arm around him like it’s second nature and claps him on the back. They qualified P2-P3, a solid result for the team. (In the first grand prix, on what Oscar’s now calling Day 1, Lando surprised him, pipping him to second place after an absolutely vicious overtake at the first corner. Oscar hasn’t let him pull that move again for 56 days.)
Today, he just chats idly to Lando as they walk about the upcoming race, about team strategy, about the stupid TikTok that marketing is forcing them to do later in the day. Then they round the corner towards the team hub, and Oscar nearly trips over thin air, because someone is standing there. 
No one is supposed to be standing there. Oscar’s learned to control variables, gotten used to experimenting and predicting what’s coming next, because nothing ever changes until he changes it. And never, not once in the fifty-six Sundays that came before this one, has a stranger been standing in front of his driver’s room, spinning their lanyard around their fingers with their eyes fixed on him like they’ve been waiting for him. 
“Hey, Piastri,” the stranger says, voice tight but polite in the way that his own gets when he’s trying not to freak out in public. He walks closer, and panic slices cleanly through him. Because you’re not a stranger. He knows your voice, your face. You’re the person who pulled him out of the car after the crash. The last thing he saw before the loop reset. 
“Can I ask you a weird question?” you continue, voice pitching higher, teetering on the razor’s edge of fear.
He thinks he might forget how to breathe. “Shoot.”
“You crashed two days ago,” you say, and his pulse spikes under his skin. “Pretty spectacularly, actually. I pulled you out of the car, but you were already going under. I was—I was sure you were dead.” You pause, running a hand through your hair. “Cried about it twice. It was, like, the worst day at work ever. And now…” You trail off, like you’re afraid to say it, like you think Oscar is going to laugh and call you ridiculous. “I think I’m going insane, or else I’m having the worst recorded case of deja vu in human history, because this is the third day in a row I’ve woken up on Monaco race day, and no one remembers anything that happened the day before.”
“That’s not a question,” Oscar says, dumbly, heart hammering beneath his ribs.
You look up at him, eyes wide like he holds the keys to the universe. “Yeah. My question is: what the hell did you do to me? And how do I make it stop?”
For once, Oscar’s got no answer. Just a cold, creeping realization settling into his chest. 
Number four: He can pull people into the loop?
Tumblr media
DAY 58
Oscar’s rational. He’s reasonable. He doesn’t believe in magical thinking: he believes in statistics, logic, in systems that can be measured and tested and solved. Oscar works hard for what he achieves. He doesn’t ever let himself hope, doesn’t think there’s a need for it when you have skill and diligence on your side. 
But when he wakes up the next morning before his alarm, staring up at the ceiling like he has every day for the past 58 days, he really hopes you’ll be at the paddock. 
Which, statistically speaking, is not likely. The rest of your conversation yesterday had… not gone well, to say the least. He’d tried to ease you into it quietly, carefully, like a doctor delivering bad news to a patient. He’d pulled the small McLaren notebook from his back pocket, frayed at the corners now, dog-eared from overuse. He’d held it out to you, as if it might bridge the gap. “Here. I started this on Day 3. It explains everything.”
You hadn’t taken it. You’d just stared at him like he’d sprouted three heads. 
“It’s not just you,” Oscar had said, as gently as he could. “It’s the same Sunday for me, too. This is the 57th time I’ve lived it.”
You’d let out a laugh, shaky and high-pitched. “That’s—that’s not possible. You’re joking.”
“I assure you, I’m very much not,” he’d said dryly. “The first time I ever saw you was Day 55, after the crash. And this morning, you’re here. That’s never happened before.”
You’d blinked, color draining from your cheeks, fingers tightening around your badge like you were about to bolt. “So you think it’s my fault?”
“No,” he’d assured you, instantly. “No. I don’t know why it’s happening. We’re just both… stuck. That’s all.”
“You sound like you’ve made peace with that,” you’d said, crossing your arms over your fireproof scrubs, and something in Oscar’s chest had ached at the way your voice trembled around the words. 
“Not made peace with it,” he’d shrugged, pasting on a smile that didn’t quite fit on his face. “Just ran out of ideas.” Just haven’t won yet. Haven’t proven myself yet. 
“This can’t be happening,” you’d muttered, knuckles going white where you clutched at your medical badge. “This isn’t real. I’m dreaming. Or we’re both concussed, or something.”
“I get it. I freaked out at first too,” Oscar had replied. 
“No, you don’t get it!” you’d snapped, eyes all wildfire. “We’re trapped in time, and you’re acting like it’s another day at the office?”
He’d had to bite back his smile. “Well, it sort of is another day at the office. For both of us.”
“I’m going to fix this,” you’d said, ignoring him. “I’m going to get myself out of this.”
“I’ve tried everything. Tested everything,” Oscar had started to explain, but his voice died in his throat when you looked at him. Really looked — bottom lip stuck out slightly, color high in your cheeks, gaze shaky but defiant. The sight of you made his brain go still. 
“No way can you test your way out of this. You might have started this, but I’m going to finish it,” you’d said, and stormed off without waiting for another word. 
So. The chances don’t seem great that he’ll see you today. But when he gets to the paddock, he still walks past the medical centre to see if he can catch a glimpse of you, scans every face, just in case — the team members, the med staff, the engineers, every person in the paddock holding a camera or a clipboard or a latte. He even searches the grandstands, is almost late for the driver’s parade. He’s halfway through making up some stupid excuse to Lando before he realizes it doesn’t matter, he won’t remember it anyway. 
You’re not here. 
It’s to be expected, really. Oscar tried to break out of the loop by force when he first figured it out, too — stayed up for a full 24 hours after the race, drove as far as he could out of Monaco, wrote down every little detail he could remember about Day 1 and tweaked it as much as he possibly could over the next few days. None of it works, but you don’t know that yet. He gets it. It’s fine. 
Except there’s something about your absence that makes his chest ache. 
The lack of you unsettles him in a way he’s not used to. It’s an odd reaction, Oscar can admit to himself. He doesn’t actually know you. But he’d gotten used to being the only one stuck, found a way to exist in the repetition. Until yesterday, for the first time in nearly two months, when the world suddenly cracked open just enough to let someone else in, to remind Oscar what it was like to be seen. And now, just as suddenly, you’re gone again, and the loneliness feels so much worse than it did before. 
He races like shit, somehow gets passed by drivers who have no business overtaking him on a circuit that makes it nearly impossible to drop places. Not that any of it matters. 
Not without the only other person who might remember it.
Tumblr media
DAY 60
“Osc, where are you going?” Lando asks when he turns right toward the team hub and Oscar starts walking to the left. They’re leaving the morning strategy briefing, which has quickly become Oscar’s least favorite unskippable part of the day (and he’s tried — the team always tracks him down, explaining that it’s crucial he attends. He doesn’t know how to tell them strategy is somewhat pointless when you’ve done the actual race every single day for two months.)
“Med centre,” he answers without thinking. It’s become part of his routine over the past few days. Brush teeth, call mum, shave, drive to the paddock, look for you. But of course, no one else knows that.
“Med centre? Oscar? Are you okay?” Zak’s voice rises about an octave, behind them, and Oscar has to resist the urge to roll his eyes. 
“He’s fine, he’s just aura farming,” Lando giggles, and Oscar’s mouth twists into a grin instead. In a day that loops over and over again, he has to find moments that aren’t completely monotonous. He’s taken to setting up jokes for Lando, letting him hit the punchline. Oscar always laughs, even though he knows exactly what his teammate is going to say half the time. Seeing the pleased smile on Lando’s face is good enough for him to keep doing it. 
“Thinks if he walks around the paddock locked in, it’ll add to the whole vibe,” Lando continues, egged on by the grin on Oscar’s face. “Mate, you know the only reason people think you’re mysterious is because you never actually go anywhere.”
The smile fades. Well. It’s nice to know that even when Oscar’s acting weirder than normal, the joke about how he’s the most boring guy in Monaco sticks around. 
“Whatever, man. See you later, yeah?” Oscar mutters, hopefully sounding good-natured enough as he goes. He’s got more important shit to do anyway — namely, tracking you down.
He walks by the med centre exactly six times, nearly trips over himself when he sees someone swinging their paddock pass around their fingers. But it’s still not you. He’s starting to worry you’re not coming back. Or maybe, he thinks as he walks dejectedly back across the paddock, you figured out how to get out. And now he’s stuck and alone. By the time he opens the door to his driver’s room, shutting it behind him and leaving himself in the darkness, the surroundings are the perfect fit for his blackened mood. 
“So, that didn’t work,” you say from somewhere inside, and Oscar nearly jumps out of his own skin. 
“Jesus Christ,” he breathes, flipping the lights on to see you sitting cross-legged on the small bed he uses for mid-practice naps, eating Tim Tams. The absolute audacity you have to invade his space, sit on his bed, eat his snacks — he should be annoyed. But for some reason, the sight of you makes just relief spread through his body. “You came back,” he says breathlessly, immediately regretting how stupidly eager the words sound coming out of his mouth.
“I’m back,” you confirm, grinning up at him unfazed as you pop another biscuit in your mouth. “And I think I owe you an apology for how I spoke to you last time. I may have overreacted a little.”
“S’alright,” he says affably. “I did the same thing at the beginning.”
“You drove a moped off the cliff at Pointe-Saint-Martin to see if you could hit the water hard enough to shake yourself out of the loop?” you ask.
Oscar just stares. “You did that?”
“Kind of a mix of Groundhog Day and Palm Springs,” you shrug. “Thought if it worked for them, it might work for me, but I just ended up half-flooding a boat and seriously pissing off a fisherman.”
“Probably needed to drive faster then,” he replies. You roll your eyes in response, but you’re smiling. He can’t quite tell how to read you. It leaves him feeling off-kilter, like when the car snaps around a corner in a way he’s not expecting.
“Clearly taking lessons from time-travel movies didn’t work. But you’re still stuck here too, and I don’t think either of us can do this alone. Time to compare notes, Piastri.” You waggle your fingers in the space between you. “Hand over the book.”
He pulls the notebook out of his pocket automatically, passes it to you. Watches quietly from the doorway as your eyes scan over the pages. He doesn’t mean to stare, he really doesn’t. But your hair keeps falling in your face, and you keep tucking it behind your ear impatiently, and something about the sight makes Oscar’s heart stutter in his chest a little bit.
You look up suddenly, and Oscar goes pink to the tips of his ears, shaking his head slightly as if to clear the thought from his brain. “You weren’t kidding,” you say. “This is extensive. Borderline obsessive.”
“Borderline?” he deadpans, and you laugh. It’s a light sound, almost musical. Oscar can’t remember the last time he made someone laugh without planning for it in advance.
“Okay, completely obsessive,” you agree cheerfully. “But also kind of impressive.” He doesn’t quite know what to say to that; he settles for sitting carefully next to you on the bed as you flip through a few more pages. “You really think winning is the way out?”
Oscar shrugs. “It’s the only thing that makes sense. The only goal I haven’t managed yet. Once I get it perfect, it’ll have to end.”
You grin. “That’s such a driver answer.”
“I do happen to be a driver,” he replies dryly, and you bump your shoulder against his. 
“Yeah, but not everything’s about the checkered flag, Piastri,” you say, handing the notebook back to him. He clutches it in his lap, hands curling around it like a lifeline. “What if it’s about… changing? Growing? Something that matters more than racing, at least.”
Nothing matters more than racing, Oscar wants to say. But you’re looking at him like you’re trying to figure him out, running over what you know of him in your mind like he’s a puzzle you’re desperate to solve, and he wants to say something that will make you realize you’ve been looking at the pieces all wrong. To unbalance you the way you do to him. 
“Here’s what I’m thinking,” you say, leaning forward, elbows on your knees, and Oscar realizes he’s been silent far too long. “You keep trying to win the race, and I’ll help however I can. But only if you agree to try things my way too. Half careful, half chaos. Deal?”
Oscar hesitates, and you raise your eyebrows like you’re daring him to say no. “Okay,” he says, pretending it’s a reluctant confession. “Deal.”
You grin, and Oscar has the distinct feeling he’s lost ground that he didn’t know was up for grabs until you extend your hand out to meet his. “Shake on it.” 
When he takes your hand, your fingers are warm against his, and something shifts in the air. Nothing big. Probably no one else would feel it.
If Oscar believed in things like that, he’d almost say the loop was taking notice. 
Tumblr media
DAY 63
Oscar walks away as quickly as he can. Behind him, Lewis Hamilton is yelling, because someone has dyed Roscoe a shocking papaya orange. Non-toxic, pet-safe, temporary fur dye, of course — the bulldog will be completely back to normal in a few days, no worse for the wear. 
Not that Oscar has anything to do with it.
His phone buzzes in his pocket as he picks up his pace, and he pulls it out to see a notification from you: well done agent 081. come to the pit wall to receive your reward :)
The two of you text, now. You’d scrawled your number on a fresh page of his notebook in a glitter gel pen before you left his driver’s room the other day. The messy cursive, the careless heart drawn next to it, stood out against Oscar’s cramped, boyish handwriting. “So we can talk strategy,” you’d said, easy as pie. “Scientific purposes only, of course.”
He’d traced his fingers over the numbers later, at home after the race (P4, nothing to write home about. His lines were perfect, but his front right tyre got stuck on the car during his pit stop, and it all unraveled from there). Spent a little bit too long trying to think of something to say, ended up just sending Hi, this is Oscar Piastri. 
You’d responded immediately: i figured lol. u dont need to be so formal oscar!!! 
Then another, before he could overthink again: meet me tomorrow at medtent before the race. time for chaosssss >:)
When you said chaos, you meant it. That first day, you’d convinced him to hang signs reading CAUTION: VENOMOUS SNAKES all over the Red Bull garage. (“It’s a metaphor, Oscar,” you’d insisted. He had to admit, seeing Christian Horner scream into his phone until he turned purple was kind of worth it.) The next day, it was reprogramming the Alpine coffee machine so it only dispensed hot water. Oscar had told you it was stupid, but watching Pierre get increasingly frustrated, his accent getting thicker and thicker as he tried to explain the problem to any mechanic who would listen, he’d laughed so hard he’d doubled over, tears pricking mercilessly at his eyes. 
You’d leaned against him, wheezing like you couldn’t catch your breath from how hard you were giggling, and that was the moment, Oscar thinks. The moment he knew you were friends.
He doesn’t remember the last time he’s made a friend. 
When he gets to the McLaren pit wall, you’re sitting on the base of it, head tipped back, soaking in the Monaco sun. You place a hand on your brow, squinting slightly like you’re trying to make him out, and then you wave him over.
“So. Now that we’ve done my idea, what’s your plan today?” you say, pulling two sandwiches wrapped in Ferrari-red napkins out of your bag and tossing the larger one to him. You’ve started sneaking into the different hospitality suites before lunch, figuring out which garage has the best to offer and forcing Oscar to rank them with you. “It’s caprese, by the way,” you add as he catches it. “Scuderia knows what’s up.”
“It’s gonna be a clean start. Pit stop at lap 39 to switch to wets. Overtake Leclerc late,” he repeats automatically as he unwraps the sandwich, taking a bite. It’s good — fresh mozzarella, a perfectly ripe slice of tomato. Miles better than the chicken salad bites McLaren insists on. 
You hum around a mouthful of your own. “You tried that already,” you point out as you swallow. “Like, four times now.”
“Five,” he corrects, and you shake your head fondly. Something about the gesture makes his breath catch in his chest. “But, uh, I’ll tweak the timing a bit. Try an overtake in the tunnel, or something.”
“You know it’s okay if you don’t figure it out right away, right?” you say, taking a sip from your water bottle.
Oscar sighs, running a hand through his hair. “That’s the problem. We have all the time in the world.”
You scoot closer to him, knee settling against his. “Well then… play the long game. Maybe don’t drive yourself crazy over the race before you even start, okay?” Oscar huffs a laugh under his breath. But he doesn’t deny it. Doesn’t pull away from you, either. 
“Well, well, what’s this?” someone drawls very poshly from above. Oscar looks up, and there’s George Russell towering over them both. He’s wearing that stupid Mercedes cooling jacket, a deeply self-satisfied smirk on his face. Oscar knows George thinks he looks sick in the jacket. Oscar thinks he looks like an oversized alien. “Don’t tell me you’re making friends with the med staff, now.”
You smile sweetly up at George, despite the fact that he’s essentially just referred to you as the help. “Russell, right? Nice to meet you. What time does the mothership leave?”
Oscar snorts, nearly choking on his water. 
George, to his credit, doesn’t miss a beat. “Toto usually beams me up around midnight,” he replies, deadpan. 
You laugh at that, bright and unguarded, and something twists uncomfortably in Oscar’s chest. It’s not jealousy. He’s not jealous. It’s just that he’s supposed to be the one who makes you laugh. Not George Russell, with his perfect hair and dimples and ridiculously plummy accent. 
George notices Oscar’s scowl, and the smile on his face stretches even wider, if that’s possible. “Not friends, then,” he sings teasingly. Oscar goes red up to his ears, staring into the middle distance and taking another aggressive bite of his sandwich. “See you at the driver’s parade, Piastri.” 
As George saunters off, you turn your head to watch him go. “He’s kind of funny,” you muse. “In a weird, wax-figure-come-to-life sort of way.”
“Debatable,” Oscar mutters. 
“Relax, Osc,” you grin, leaning back on your elbows and letting the sun stream down on your face. You nudge your knee against his, and he feels it everywhere. “You’re still my favorite.”
The pit stop goes off without a hitch, but even with the perfect weather strategy he can’t seem to get past Charles in the back half of the race. He’s P2, again. After the race, you text him a YouTube compilation of all of Charles’ angsty radio messages from seasons past set to sad violin music.
Somehow, the loss doesn’t sting as bad as it usually does. 
Tumblr media
DAY 71
Someone is pounding at his door when Oscar’s eyes open. It’s so different that for a minute he thinks he broke out of the loop, somehow. But when he checks his phone, it’s still May 25, just about an hour and a half earlier than normal. He drags himself out of bed to the door, pulls it open, and there you are standing on the other side, sunglasses pushed to holding a white paper bag filled with pastries and two cups of coffee. You’re not dressed in your usual race gear, switching it for a filmy black sleeveless top and denim cutoff shorts that expose miles of your bare skin. 
Oscar is suddenly, painfully aware that he’s only wearing boxers. You seem to be realizing that fact, too, if the way your eyes drag torturously down his bare chest is anything to go by.
“Hey,” he croaks, cheeks flushed as he takes you in. “What are you doing here?”
You clear your throat, looking back up at him. Your eyes meet, and for a moment the air sparks between you, electric. Then you just smile mysteriously before you push your way inside, handing him one of the coffee cups as you go. “New pre-race hypothesis. Get dressed and come with me.”
Ten minutes later, Oscar’s sitting in the passenger seat of your tiny, beat-up car, watching the sun rise through the windshield. You’re an unexpectedly cautious driver, too slow around the corners, hands planted firmly at 10 and 2, eyes fixed on the road. It’s nice to know that even after weeks of spending May 25 together, you can still surprise him. (Even if his hands are itching to take the wheel from you, see just how hard he can push the Mini Cooper down these famous streets). 
You pull to a stop near the harbor, the car’s brakes squealing at the effort. Oscar makes a mental note that when you both get out of the loop, he needs to take you to a mechanic. Or maybe a dealership.
“C’mon,” you say, getting out of the car and walking towards the dock. You’re moving in that sort of effortless way you do when you have a really ridiculous idea, the kind of way that makes Oscar follow you against his better judgment because he just wants to see what you’ll do next. He’s jogging slightly to catch up, sipping at his coffee, when you slow ahead of him, touching your pockets like you’re looking for something.
“Hold this for me?” you ask as he catches up to you, passing him your cup. At the moment he takes it with his free hand, almost reflexively, you pluck his phone out of his hoodie pocket and toss it over the railing. 
“What the fuck,” Oscar says flatly, watching it land with a soft plop! in the azure water. 
You toss your own phone in after his. Oscar grabs the railing, watches the twin black mirrors swirl around each other, sinking deep into the harbor. “So I might’ve lied a little,” you say sheepishly. “This isn’t a pre-race hypothesis. This is an instead-of-race hypothesis.”
“You’re not serious,” he says, and you just grin, wild and unapologetic. 
“Oscar Piastri’s first-ever DNS,” you sing, turning and walking down the dock towards a frankly massive boat, waving off the dockhand like you own the fucking thing and starting to untie the knots holding it to the dock. “You coming or not?”
Unleash The Lion, the stern reads in script as big as his head. 
You’re going to commandeer Max Verstappen’s fucking yacht. 
“Max will kill us, you know,” he says as you step onto the back of the boat, pulling yourself up to the deck.
“Max won’t remember this tomorrow,” you reply over your shoulder as you rifle through the boat’s glove compartment. 
“He could,” Oscar protests, mostly just to argue, because he likes the way your eyes flash when he challenges you. “Who knows? This could be the day the loop resets. Then I’ll get fired, and we’ll both go to jail.”
You grin down at him, wicked light gleaming in your gaze as you dangle the keys over the side of the boat. “Monaco prison is probably pretty nice. D’you think they’ll let us be cell mates?”
He sighs, looking up at you. The morning light kisses off your cheekbones, your skin glowing golden and sun-warmed. How is he meant to say no to you, looking at him like that? “I hate how persuasive you are,” he grumbles halfheartedly, taking your hand and climbing up the back until he lands ungracefully on the deck. 
“No, you don’t,” you reply cheerfully, turning the key in the ignition. The yacht roars to life, and you pilot it out of the harbor with confidence that feels somewhat unearned, given you’ve basically stolen the thing. 
That’s the problem, Oscar thinks. He really, really doesn’t. 
An hour or so later, you’ve lowered the anchor, far enough out that no one will catch you for the day. Monaco is a distant speck behind you, though if Oscar squints he swears he can still see the paddock. You’ve pulled him to the bow of the boat, laying next to each other on deck chairs with a pilfered bottle of champagne between you. Your sunglasses are sliding down your nose, the boat rocking gently in the waves. It might be the bubbles talking, might be the fact that his edges have been softened by sun and champagne and you, but Oscar can’t remember a better day in a long time. 
“Not bad for our first grand theft yacht,” you say, and Oscar laughs in spite of himself. “Although next time, we should probably bring sunscreen.” You look over at him with such fondness that it makes his heart squeeze in his chest, and touch your finger to the tip of his nose, gently. “You’re gonna be scorched.”
He’s warm, but it’s definitely not from the sun. “I’ll be fine,” he says, aiming for a light tone. You touched his nose, and he’s melting down like a complete weirdo. Get it together, Piastri, he tells himself. You’re a Formula One driver, for god’s sake. 
You don’t seem to notice. You just hum, unconvinced, then go quiet for a beat. Too quiet. The kind of quiet Oscar’s learned to recognize as very dangerous when it’s coming from you. 
“I’m bored,” you say, finally. “New plan.”
Oscar sits up so fast he nearly knocks over the champagne bottle. “This isn’t enough for today?”
You just smile mischievously at him. “Wanna go for a swim?”
“We don’t have bathing suits,” he says, dumbly. But you’re already peeling your shirt over your head, stripping to your underwear, and racing barefoot on the hot wood, your laugh trailing in the air like the kind of song he wants to learn every word to. 
Oscar’s brain short-circuits somewhere around seeing your bare shoulders. He has to stare at the sky and think about Zak Brown for a minute before he can strip off his joggers and follow you. 
When he climbs the ladder to the top, you’re already at the edge, toes curled over the lip of the roof, the sea breeze teasing at the ends of your hair. You look over your shoulder at him, eyes dancing, and then you leap. 
It’s not graceful by any means, but you look glorious — arms thrown wide, a yell of pure exhilaration tearing out of your lungs as you plunge feet-first into the sparkling ocean below. Oscar scrambles to the side, watching for you to come up. For a second, there’s silence. Then, you resurface with a whoop that seems to echo to the horizon, and you’re smiling so wide it makes his chest ache. 
“Come on!” you yell, treading water fifty feet beneath him. “Don’t make me swim all the way back to push you off.”
“You’re insane,” he calls back, but there’s no heat in it. Just that strange, subtle warmth still blooming in his chest. He steps to the edge, glances over his shoulder once at Monaco sparkling like a jewel on the coastline, at the tiny smudge that might be the paddock, that might be his real life. 
And then he jumps. 
For one perfect moment, he’s airborne — weightless, untethered. Free. The wind rushes by him, salt air biting at his sunburnt skin, and then the sea swallows him whole. The water is cool, soothing around him, and when he surfaces, gasping for air, you’re already swimming towards him with a smile on your face. 
“I didn’t think you’d actually do it,” you say breathlessly. 
“More to me than meets the eye, I guess,” he replies, steadying his eyes on you, and your cheeks flush under his gaze.
The rest of the day passes in a haze of warmth and motion. The two of you let your skin dry in the sun, pass another bottle of champagne back and forth until there’s nothing left, talk about everything and nothing. He tells you about his first karting race, how he was older than all the other kids when he started and cried because he still didn’t think he was ready. You tell him about a trip you took to Japan when you were younger, how you took pictures of the temples on your digital camera and still dream of the scent of the cherry blossoms in the air. 
Later, as the sun starts to sink over the horizon, blue bleeding into soft pinks and golds, you sit together on the bow, your legs dangling over the edge, shoulders touching. Oscar’s tongue feels looser than usual, whether it’s the champagne or whether it’s you to blame, so he doesn’t think, just asks the question that’s been playing on his mind all day. “Why do you think you’re in the loop?”
You turn to look at him, like it’s the last thing you expected him to say. “What do you mean?”
“Well, I have to win the race,” he says, and you roll your eyes fondly. “But — what do you have to do? Why are you here?”
You’re quiet for a moment. “I suppose there’s something I have to learn, too.”
“Like what?” Oscar asks, pressing his shoulder against yours. 
You sigh, staring out at the horizon. You don’t look at him when you speak. Oscar wonders if you won’t, or you can’t. “I’ve always been good at a lot of things,” you say. “But I never committed to anything. I just kept bouncing from place to place, from project to project. Now, I love working here, but it just feels like I figured it out too late, and now I’m stuck. To get a permanent job with the team, I’d have to go to med school, and…” you pause, teeth sinking into your lip. “What if I try and fail? What if I’m average?”
Oscar opens his mouth to respond, but no words come. Instead, he watches the way the fading light reflects in your eyes, golden catching on the edge of something tender and raw. He wants to tell you you’re not average, you’re brilliant. That the past few weeks with you in the loop has been the most alive he’s felt in months, maybe ever.
But he doesn’t.
“Today is the first time I’ve ever done anything like this,” he says, the words falling ungracefully off his tongue. “Taken a risk like this. Everything in my life has been planned out. I made it to Formula One off of being consistent, composed, controlled. I’m perfect because everyone expects it. But — racing used to be fun. I used to love it.”
You tilt your head toward him slightly, enough that he can see the pout of your bottom lip. “You don’t love it anymore?” you ask softly, like he’s a scared animal you’re trying not to spook. 
Oscar shrugs, chest tightening. “Feels like I’ve been trying to win for so long that I forgot why I wanted to in the first place.”
“Maybe that’s what the loop’s for,” you say, leaning back on the cushions. “Not to win. To find the joy again.”
There’s a long pause where neither of you speak. The silence feels suspended, like the whole world is holding its breath along with you both. Oscar lies back next to you, his heart thudding a little too hard in his chest for such a quiet moment. 
You both lay there for a while as the stars slowly reveal themselves one by one, scattered like glitter across the indigo sky. You start pointing out constellations, making up ridiculous stories that make him laugh lowly, helplessly. He’s lying close enough to you that your arms are pressed together, breath syncing in the quiet. 
When he turns to look at you, you’re already looking at him, eyes half-lidded, and you’re so beautiful in the moonlight that it almost makes him lean in to kiss you. But something holds him back. Fear, maybe, or uncertainty — not knowing if you feel it too, or if it’s the champagne, or the loop, living another borrowed day that doesn’t quite feel like his own. 
He looks back at the sky. You sigh next to him, shifting closer so that your head rests on his shoulder, and his heart stutters in his chest.
He doesn’t move. Doesn’t speak. Just watches the pale moon reflect off the waves until he drifts off into the blackness.
When he opens his eyes next, he’s in his apartment, sunlight streaming through his curtains. Oscar swears under his breath, picks up the phone that should be sitting at the bottom of the harbor. Sunday, May 25. Just like always. 
He flops back onto his bed, pressing a pillow over his face. His skin is still sticky from the salt water. It’s not even the fact that he didn’t break the loop that hurts today. 
It’s waking up without you.
Tumblr media
DAY 80
Oscar’s nervous, which is completely irrational. He’s lived this day eighty times now. Done press completely hungover, slipped past Charles Leclerc on his home track, crashed full-speed into a barrier and nearly died. But none of that made his palms sweat the way they’re sweating now. 
You’re in his apartment. You’re having dinner in his apartment. 
The race had gone fairly spectacularly for him, all things considered. He’d made a few mistakes, taken the chicane a little too wide, and still Charles barely beat him. Oscar’s about to figure it out, the perfect race so close he can almost taste it.
You, on the other hand, had quite the busy day. Stroll’s crash started it, but in lap 60 there’d been a major pileup at the back of the race — one of the rookies hitting the brakes just a little too late, slamming into another driver. By the time he found you after the race, you looked exhausted, muttered something about how you wished this particular loop was over already, couldn’t fathom the idea of driving home, cooking dinner for yourself, going to sleep alone. 
Oscar invited you over before he could think too hard about it. 
He drove you back to his place, cooked dinner while you showered — some pasta dish his mum had taught him ages ago, surely worried that he’d try to survive in Monaco solely off of frozen dinners and takeout. He’s dug up some candles from a dusty box in the closet, uncorked a bottle of wine he thinks Charles gave him for Secret Santa last year, and is just putting the plates on the table when you emerge from his room, fresh-faced and hair damp. You’re wearing one of his McLaren hoodies and a pair of bike shorts, and for a moment Oscar forgets how to form sentences. 
“Smells amazing,” you say, sitting on the floor across from him. “Thanks.”
You chat idly for a while, but Oscar can’t shake the feeling that the air between you feels different tonight. It’s in the way your laugh sticks in his brain longer than usual, the way he can feel his gaze searching your face like he’s trying to memorize it. It’s almost simmering, like there’s some invisible boundary you’re about to break through. Things have been different since the day on Max’s boat — the glances between the two of you weightier, the touches softer, gentler. But there’s something about tonight that feels inevitable, like the weeks of being together are all pinpointing into a logical, tidy conclusion. 
“You’ve barely touched your pasta,” you point out, nudging your knee against his under the table. 
Oscar just shrugs, a smile tugging at the edge of his mouth. “Not hungry.” He is actually, the feeling turning to a pleasant ache in his stomach. If he’s honest with himself, he’s just too busy looking at you to bother with the food. 
You raise your eyebrow, slurping up a noodle. It leaves a small smudge of sauce on the edge of your mouth. “You okay?” 
“Hold on,” he says, leaning over the table. “You’ve got —”
You flush, hand flying to your cheek, but Oscar’s already there, leaning over the table and brushing his thumb against your lip carefully. You blink up at him, breath catching slightly, and then, unmistakably, your eyes flick to his lips. The moment stretches, fragile and loaded like the night Oscar stargazed with you, and he’ll be damned if he’s going to make the same mistake twice. 
And then — because he’s been thinking about it for hours, days, weeks — he kisses you.
Your lips are soft, warm against his, and you taste like vanilla lip balm and red wine. His hand comes up to cup your jaw, and you let out the tiniest sigh against his mouth before kissing him back. It’s slow, soft at first, then deeper, like the buildup of all the days circling each other has finally burned down to this single point of gravity, rooting you both to the spot. Your hand tangles in the hair at the nape of his neck, like you’re trying to pull him closer to you. 
It’s perfect. And then you break away, foreheads pressed together, and Oscar opens his mouth. 
“Well, that’s a new variable,” he breathes, dazed, and you flinch away from him like you’ve been slapped. 
“Oscar,” you say, voice sharp, and for someone with world-class reflexes and awareness he’s definitely caught the shift in your tone too late. “You just kissed me, and your first thought was fucking data?”
“No, I —” he stops, runs a hand through his hair like he’s trying to reset his brain. “That’s not what I meant.”
You breathe out disbelievingly, the sound shaky as it leaves your lungs. “Yes, it was,” you say flatly, standing up, and Oscar scrambles to his feet after you. 
“No,” he pleads, but you’re already heading towards his bedroom, throwing your things back in your bag. “I just thought, if the loop’s trigger is emotional…”
“Don’t,” you spit, words like venom. “Don’t reduce this to numbers and logic. Don’t treat it like it’s another page in your stupid fucking notebook.”
He opens his mouth to try to fix things, but nothing comes out. Even from across the room, he can see the tears slipping down your cheek, and he knows the damage is already done. 
“I thought it was real,” you whisper. “I thought we were real. And the first time you actually let yourself feel something, you turn around and treat it like evidence to be catalogued.”
“It was real,” he blurts desperately, and you scoff. “Please,” he begs. “I’m trying, I’m just — I don’t know how to do this. It’s — it’s never mattered like this.”
Your lips press together, jaw tight, and Oscar can still taste the red wine against his mouth. “Well, maybe don’t kiss me again until you figure it out.”
You don’t wait for him to reply. You turn on your heel, slamming the door behind you and storming down the hall like you’re leading an army of one to battle against his stupid, broken heart. 
Oscar doesn’t know how long he stands there staring at the door, the silence ringing in his ears, before he blows out the candles. He leaves the dishes on the table, crawls into his bed and stares at the ceiling. The notebook sits on his dresser, taunting him, but he doesn’t reach for it. 
Nothing about this day is worth remembering anymore.
Tumblr media
DAY 81
Oscar doesn’t remember falling asleep, but he wakes up to sunlight through the curtains and silence and the distinct feeling that his chest has been scraped hollow. 
He’s never felt more stupid in his life. He had you, in his apartment, lips pressed to his, the thing he’s been dreaming about doing for weeks, and he completely fucking bottled it. 
But if there’s anything to learn from being in a time loop, it’s that he’s got a chance to fix things. To learn from his own mistakes, and do something better. He sits up in bed, watching the boats in the harbor for a long moment. Then he gets up, gets dressed. Leaves the notebook sitting on his dresser, untouched. And goes to find you.
Except, clearly, you don’t want to be found. He searches the entire paddock, but you’re like a ghost. Your station at the med centre is empty, half-cleared out like you came to work before deciding seeing Oscar would hurt too much. You’re not in his driver’s room, stealing his snacks, or by the pit wall watching the team principals flit around with a scary kind of efficiency. He even tries going to the med centre HR to ask for your address, but the woman behind the desk is very particular about her employees’ privacy, won’t give him your contact information no matter how many times he drops that he’s a driver, just hands him a pamphlet about respecting workplace boundaries. 
The day wears on, sun arcing high in the sky, and Oscar has to accept he’s not going to see you before the race. Maybe he’ll crash on the first lap, he thinks. Knock himself unconscious, reset the loop. He doesn’t care what it takes. He just has to find you.
Like a vision, or some sort of twisted prophecy, he turns the corner to the garage, and you’re standing there. Always standing where you’re not supposed to be, he thinks for a moment, mind racing wildly. The thought feels hysterical in his head. You’re wearing your fireproof scrubs, eyes red-rimmed, arms crossed over your chest, and you look like fate. Or his future. He’s not sure which. Oscar doesn’t waste another second before he runs to you. 
“It was real,” he blurts, before you can open your mouth to speak. “I think it’s been real for me since the minute you pulled me out of that car. I’m shit at feelings, and I’m sorry, because I’m about to be even worse at—” he gestures between the two of you, the confession he’s word-vomiting into the space between you. “—this, but... I’ve spent my whole life being cool, calm, collected, trying to perfect things, trying to keep everything under control, but I can’t control love, and you fucking — you turn me in circles, and I don’t want to live another day, of the loop or anything else, without you around.”
You just stare at him, and he runs a hand over his face. Out of all the ways he’d been thinking up to profess his love while he was looking for you, this had to be one of his worst. Did he even say it? He thinks back, unsure. 
“I love you,” he adds, sighing. “In case that wasn’t clear. I’m really fucking in love with you.”
“You’re an idiot,” you say to him in response, voice trembling. 
“I know,” he says, helplessly. “But I’m yours. If you’ll have me.”
You shake your head, but there’s a ghost of a smile on your face. “Of course I’ll have you,” you say, eyes bright with tears. “I’m really fucking in love with you too.”
Oscar files the sound of your voice saying those words somewhere deep in his chest. Closes the distance between you and smashes his lips to yours. It’s not sweet, not soft — it’s raw, wanting, hot with need. You squeak against his mouth, your hands flying up to cup his face, and when your tongue slides against his, his knees actually buckle.
You’re both giggling when you come up for air, dazed and giddy. “Wow,” you say, fingers resting against your lips, like you can’t believe it’s real. “Glad I came back in time for that.”
“Yeah,” Oscar breathes. “What took you so long?”
You look up at him, a ghost of a smile on your lips. “Well, I wasn’t gonna show up because I was still pissed at you,” you crack, and he laughs. “But then I decided I couldn’t let you drive alone. And I was late,” you say slowly, “because I just applied to med school.” 
His heart skips a beat in his chest. “You did what?”
“You were right,” you say simply. “I’m not stuck. And maybe I’ll fail spectacularly, but I’ll never know if I don’t try.” 
“I’m so proud of you,” Oscar says, and you just smile. Someone from inside the garage is calling for him. He’s running out of time.
“It’ll be a colossal waste of time if we don’t break out, though,” you huff out a laugh. “So now it’s on you.” You pause for a moment, pressing a kiss to his cheek.
“You got this,” you say, and for once Oscar believes it. “Go have fun out there.”
Ten minutes later, he sits P2 on the grid, heart beating hard in his chest. For the past 80 days, he’s been in this exact same position, obsessing over the perfect line, how to time the pit stop, where he can shave a tenth of a second off his time. 
Today, when the lights go out, Oscar’s thinking about you. 
He lets Lando pass him on the first lap again, for the first time in eighty days. Drives like a maniac to pass him back three laps later, waving to him as he goes. It’s a risky move; Tom is half-screaming, half-laughing at him through the radio, and Oscar’s cheeks hurt from smiling underneath his helmet. He nearly takes it on two wheels around the Tabac corner, back skidding out from underneath him. The car is responsive as he pushes to the limit; the drive feels messy, imperfect, alive. He’s never had so much fun in a Formula One car.
When the last lap starts, he’s leading the race. The sun’s starting to come back out again, the rain drying on the track. Oscar’s cruising. 
By the time he gets to the hairpin, Charles Leclerc is in his mirrors. 
It’s an all-out battle to the finish, red car and orange dueling side by side. Oscar presses his foot to the pedal as hard as he can, thinks if this race is the one that breaks the loop, it’ll probably go down in history as the most exciting Monaco GP of all time. 
They get to the Nouvelle Chicane, and Charles slices around it with the elegance of a ballerina, the power of a heavyweight fighter. Oscar’s in his dust before he even knows what’s happened. 
He finishes behind the Ferrari by a half second, and he’s never been so happy to lose.
He pulls into parc ferme, rips off his helmet, searches the crowd wildly. The paddock is bustling. It takes him a minute to spot you running towards him, your scrubs unzipped to your waist, smiling and crying all at once. 
This time, Oscar doesn’t wait. He jumps off the car, reaches you in three strides, and kisses you like he’ll never get the chance again. It’s all adrenaline and aching sweetness, teeth knocking, the taste of tears on both your lips like you’re both tumbling toward something you can’t name.
You break away first, pressing your forehead against his, chest heaving as you try to catch your breath. “You were amazing,” you say, voice hoarse. “I’m sorry you lost.”
“I don’t care,” Oscar laughs wetly, because it’s true, and because eighty Sundays ago he would have died before he said something like that. “That was the best drive I’ve ever had.”
“You found the joy,” you say, a giggle bubbling out of you. 
The sound nearly coaxes a laugh out of him too, but he shakes his head instead, smiling at you softly. “I found that a long time ago. Standing outside my driver’s room spinning their med badge like a weapon.”
You make a noise at that, somewhere in between a sigh and a sob, and he pulls you into his chest, holding you like you’re the first-place trophy. “I love you, you know,” he says into your hair, and he can hear you mumbling the exact same thing into his race suit. 
You walk back to Oscar’s apartment together, a silent agreement that he’ll skip the post-race interviews, just this once. You sit on the balcony he never uses, watch the sunset over the harbor. He doesn’t let go of your hand for a single moment, like he needs to feel your touch under his fingertips to remind himself he’s still here.
“D’you think we did it?” you mumble later when you’ve both found your way to his bed, voice slurring around the edges from exhaustion. “Broke the loop, I mean.”
“Dunno,” Oscar says, his fingers brushing through your hair slowly. “I’ve thought we did, before, and obviously we hadn’t.”
“Me too,” you say, but there’s something hanging in the air between you. An unspoken confession, like you’re both afraid to jinx it. This time feels different. 
You yawn gently, burrow tighter into his side, and his heart feels like it might crack open in his chest. “M’getting pretty tired,” you say. “So I think whatever the answer is, we’ll know pretty soon.”
There’s silence, for a moment. What do you say when your entire universe hangs in the balance?
“If this was the last day, if we really figured it out,” Oscar says finally, breath catching in his throat as he stares at the ceiling, “I really liked spending forever with you.”
Tumblr media
DAY 82 DAY 1
Oscar wakes up to the beep of his alarm and the sound of rain on his roof. 
You’re there, too. Curled against his body, still asleep. Oscar watches the steady rise and fall of your chest, listens to the soft sounds of your breathing. You smell like that jasmine perfume you started wearing around Day 68 and you’re snuggled in one of his old McLaren hoodies and you’re so real that he thinks he might die of happiness. 
It is Monday, May 26, 2025, and Oscar Piastri is so in love with you that he’s stooped to watching you sleep like a total weirdo and using ridiculous hyperbole to describe his feelings instead of waking you up to tell you the news. He nudges you gently, and you stir. 
“Osc?” you mumble disbelievingly as your eyes flutter open, like you’re not sure if you’re still dreaming or not.
“We did it,” he whispers back to you, and the smile on his face is starting to hurt his cheeks. “We’re out.”
You don’t even respond — well, with words, anyway. You just drag his face to yours, kiss him like you’re making up for 81 days of lost time. You still taste like vanilla, and your mouth, your tongue work against his in a way that makes it hard to think of anything else. 
“We’re out,” you repeat as you pull away from each other. You’re looking at him like he hung the stars in the sky, and Oscar can’t resist kissing you again. Small pecks this time, scattered from your lips to your cheekbones, each one like a drop of water for a man dying of thirst. He thinks absentmindedly that kissing you might be his new favorite thing.
“God, I can’t believe this is real,” you giggle as his lips brush down your collarbones, and Oscar laughs, because he was just thinking the same thing about you.
“I love you,” he murmurs against your skin, and you sigh it back sweetly, your pulse thrumming beneath his lips. 
Forever isn’t an easy concept to swallow for a man who’s just been stuck in a time loop. But Oscar thinks if you’re by his side, he could definitely get used to it.

imagine catching the eyes of the marauders
“your friends seem like fun, remus,” you smiled at the brunette boy, looking over from where you two stood talking to see sirius and james entertaining a group of students in the courtyard with a series of flashy spells and tricks.
“they’re not,” he sighed sarcastically but cracked a smile when you laughed. “i’ll see you later, y/n. thanks for the notes.”
“anytime!” you chuckled as you headed to where your friends awaited you by the lake.
by the time remus reached his own people, the small crowd had dispersed and james was flipping his wand in his hand. “what business d’you have with y/n l/n, moony?”
“why do you ask?” remus coughed, ducking his head as he took his usual spot against the beech tree trunk.
sirius slid next to him, laying out with his head propped in his hand and staring at remus. “because she’s the hottest girl in the castle.” remus rolled his eyes. “oh, come on, you know it! she’s bloody stunning! think you can set me up?”
remus finally turned his gaze to sirius’s hopeful one. “no.”
the boy’s jaw dropped. “what! why?”
“has she got a boyfriend?” james inquired as he popped a chocolate frog into his mouth, sitting on remus’s other side. remus shrugged. “then what’s the problem?”
remus sighed, feeling as though his friends weren’t going to give up easily. he turned a serious gaze to sirius. “she doesn’t deserve to be just another one of your flings.”
as sirius stuttered to find a response, james nodded, “cool. can you send her my way, then?”
remus turned his glare to him. “same goes for you. y/n is much more than just her looks—she deserves someone who recognizes that.” he took out a piece of parchment and his quill. “you two are only looking for a laugh and a shag.”
james held out his hands as sirius continued to sputter for a response. “what if that wasn’t the goal? what if i see that y/n has a right sense of humor and confidence?”
“or that she’s smart beyond any of our class!” sirius finally managed to get out. “and bloody passionate about the things she likes..”
remus spared a glance up after scratching down the start to his potions essay. the two boys were still staring at him expectantly. “i’m sorry, but if you really want a chance with y/n, talk to her yourself.”
james huffed, falling back against the cool spring grass. “you just want her for yourself, moons. you can’t fool me.” remus said nothing, but the two watched a blush creeped up the neck he was determinedly keeping hunched.
“right,” sirius sighed, seeming to resign something internally. “good luck getting her before me, boys.”
“good luck getting her alone at all,” remus snorted. the two relaxed boys snapped their gazes back. “i know that you two struggle to be attentive, so i’m sure you haven’t noticed, but you’re not the only ones pining after y/n.”
sirius propped himself onto his elbows and looked around until he caught sight of you h/c hair shining in the spring sun across the lake. you were laughing, and if he strained he could almost hear that heavenly sound drifting toward him, but unfortunately it was caused by a group of slytherins that had walked up to her and her friends.
“is that snivellus?” james sneered with disgust. “i don’t know this was the new inter-house competition!”
“aw, regulus?” sirius seethed. “my own brother?!”

prince of my childhood, or not? ୨ৎ | one shot l.s
〝Harriet uma jovem e doce menina, não esperava que a volta de Louis, um ex-militar e melhor amigo de seu irmão, despertasse tantas emoções novas dentro dela. O garoto que brincava com ela na infância agora era um homem irresistível, e ela luta para esconder sua atração pelo mais velho, temendo que ele descubra.
Mal sabia Harriet que o desejo era mútuo, e a tensão entre eles pode se tornar algo impossível de se conter. 〞

🎀ྀིྀི
O sol da manhã invadia o quarto com uma intensidade cálida, derramando-se pelas frestas da cortina como fios dourados. A luz acariciava o chão de madeira, destacando a cor rosa do quarto. O calor era palpável, envolvente, e carregava consigo o aroma da terra aquecida e das flores do lado de fora. O ambiente parecia suspenso em uma tranquilidade quase mágica, onde cada raio de sol transformava o espaço em um refúgio dourado, acolhedor e preguiçoso.
Harriet estava sentada em sua cama, enquanto penteava sua coelhinha, pétala. Os pelinhos branquinhos e lisinhos reluziam sob a luz do sol que adentrava o quarto.
— Pétala, acho que você é a coelhinha mais calma que já existiu. Como consegue ficar tão quietinha enquanto eu te escovo? – harriet indagou suavemente, enquanto passava a escova pelas orelhinhas fofinhas.
A coelhinha fica imóvel, os olhos fechados enquanto mexe o fucinho a cada vento que bate em seu rosto. A mais nova solta um risinho com a visão amável, continuando a escovar.
— É, você tem razão. Às vezes, a gente precisa só de um momento para relaxar, né? Como se mais nada importasse.
Pétala abre os olhos e a encara fixamente, como se entendesse tudo.
— Eu sei, você só quer amor, paz e carinho. Eu também queria mais disso, sabia? Só que parece que a vida sempre tem algo a mais para pedir da gente.
O animalzinho faz um movimento leve com a pata, como se concordasse com tudo que estava escutando. Harriet solta um risinho meigo.
— Sim, é verdade. Às vezes tudo o que a gente precisa é de um amigo fiel como você, Pétala. Só nós duas, uma para a outra.
Pétala se acomoda ainda mais confortável no colo de Harriet, fechando os olhos enquanto recebia um carinho nas orelhas.
— Você tem a alma tão tranquila e pura, coelhinha. Talvez eu devesse aprender com você. – a jovem sussurra.
🎀ྀིྀི
Harriet estava na cozinha, ajudando sua mãe a organizar a mesa para o jantar, quando a notícia chegou. O som da porta sendo aberta anunciou a chegada do irmão mais velho, Caleb, que entrou com um sorriso animado e um brilho nos olhos. Ele estava sempre com aquele entusiasmo que fazia qualquer notícia parecer ainda mais importante.
— Você não vai acreditar, Harriet! – Caleb disse, deixando a sacola de compras na bancada e se aproximando dela. — Louis está voltando do exército! Finalmente!
As palavras pairaram no ar por um momento, e Harriet sentiu um leve nó na garganta. Louis. O melhor amigo de seu irmão, o garoto que sempre ficava em sua casa depois das aulas, sempre se metendo em encrenca com Caleb, com quem brincava nos verões da infância, cuidando dela como se fosse sua irmã mais nova. Para ela, ele sempre foi um irmão de coração, alguém que a protegia e a fazia rir. Mas a ideia de que ele estava voltando agora, aos 26 anos, fez uma sensação estranha se formar no fundo do seu estômago.
— Louis? Mas… ele vai voltar agora? – Harriet perguntou, tentando esconder a surpresa que sentia. Ela não sabia por que, mas uma sensação de ansiedade se apoderou dela. Não era apenas a volta de Louis. Algo mais estava ali, algo que ela não conseguia definir.
— Sim! Ele chegou hoje, depois de seis anos no exterior. Eu estou tão animado para vê-lo novamente. – Caleb respondeu, sem perceber o turbilhão de emoções que começava a tomar conta de Harriet.
Ela forçou um sorriso, tentando esconder a confusão que sentia. Louis. O garoto que brincava de cavaleiro com ela quando tinha 10 anos, o mesmo que fazia dela sua princesa nas brincadeiras de infância. Agora ele voltava, e ela não era mais uma criança. E de repente, a lembrança das tardes passadas correndo pelos jardins da casa, com ele dizendo que a protegeria de tudo, parecia distante, quase irreconhecível.
— Eu… não sabia que ele voltaria tão derrepente. – Harriet disse, a voz um pouco trêmula. — Eu acho que vai ser… estranho.
Caleb não percebeu nada estranho em sua reação e continuou a falar sobre a visita que Louis planejava fazer naquela tarde. Mas, enquanto ele falava, Harriet ficou quieta, seus pensamentos correndo mais rápido que suas palavras. Louis voltava, mas não mais como o garoto travesso e protetor de antes. Ele voltava como um homem. E, de alguma forma, Harriet não sabia como lidar com essa nova versão dele.
🎀ྀིྀི
O sol do fim de tarde tingia o céu com tons de dourado e laranja, refletindo suavemente nos longos cachos morenos de Harriet, que caíam em ondas sobre suas costas. Ela estava sentada no balanço da varanda, após ajudar sua mãe com o restante dos preparativos para o café da tarde.
Seus pés macios descalços roçando o chão de madeira, criando um movimento preguiçoso. Um livro estava aberto em suas mãos, mas sua atenção estava mais na coelhinha branca, Pétala, que dormia aninha em seu colo. Seus olhos verdes claros capturavam a luz quente do entardecer, tornando-a uma visão delicada e serena no meio da quietude da casa.
O ronco grave de uma moto ao longe quebrou o silêncio da tarde, arrancando Harriet de seu devaneio. Seu coração acelerou antes mesmo de ela compreender o porquê.
Pétala ergueu as orelhas, igualmente curiosa, enquanto Harriet levantava o olhar em direção à estrada. Ela viu a moto se aproximar, o reflexo da luz dourada do sol brilhando contra o metal polido, e sentiu algo inusitado, uma mistura de expectativa e nervosismo.
Louis desceu da moto casualmente, tirando o capacete, revelando os cabelos castanhos com a franja ligeiramente bagunçada em sua testa de um jeito charmoso. Ele parecia maior, mais alto, com a postura ereta de quem carregava o peso de experiências que ela nem imaginava.
O uniforme do exército já não estava mais com ele, mas sua presença parecia mais marcante do que nunca. Vestia um moletom verde despojado, e seus jeans surrados completavam a imagem de um homem que havia mudado completamente desde a última vez que ela o vira.
Ele ergueu o olhar na direção da varanda, e ao vê-la, seus lábios se curvaram em um sorriso fácil. Ela sentiu uma onda de calor subir pelo peito enquanto ele se aproximava, o que a deixou sem saber como reagir.
Ele era o mesmo, mas ao mesmo tempo, algo havia mudado. O garoto que brincava com ela de príncipe, corria pelos jardins e fazia caretas, agora era um homem. Um homem que, de alguma forma, mexia com ela de um jeito que ela nunca se sentiu por ninguém.
— Harriet. – ele disse, o tom grave e carregado de sotaque como ela se lembrava, mas agora com uma profundidade nova que a fez engolir em seco.
— Louis. – ela respondeu, tentando soar tranquila, mas sua voz saiu baixa, quase hesitante.
Ele subiu os degraus com passos lentos, o olhar fixo nela como se quisesse absorver cada detalhe. Quando parou ao lado do balanço, seus olhos se moveram para Pétala, que o observava curiosa.
— Essa coelhinha é sua? – perguntou, abaixando-se um pouco para olhá-la mais de perto.
— É, essa é a Pétala. – Harriet disse, acariciando a cabeça da coelhinha, que se aconchegou ainda mais em seu colo. — Tenho ela desde que você foi embora.
Louis sorriu, estendendo a mão com cuidado para Pétala. — Ela é linda. Parece tranquila, igual a dona. – comentou, a voz levemente provocativa enquanto seus olhos voltavam para Harriet.
Ela desviou o olhar, sentindo o calor subir pelo rosto. — Obrigada. Ela é mesmo uma ótima companhia.
Ele ficou de pé novamente, encostando-se no corrimão da varanda com um ar relaxado. — E você? Como tem sido a vida por aqui? Parece que tudo está igual… menos você.
Harriet sentiu o peso do comentário e forçou um sorriso tímido. — Não sei se mudei tanto assim. As coisas por aqui continuam as mesmas. Só o tempo que passou rápido, eu acho.
Louis arqueou uma sobrancelha, cruzando os braços enquanto a observava. — Eu diria que mudou sim. Cresceu. Ficou diferente. – ele disse, a voz baixa, mas com um tom diferente que ela não soube identificar, enquanto a encarava com intensidade.
Ela desviou os olhos para o livro em seu colo, sentindo o peso daquele olhar.
— E você? Parece que o tempo fez um bom trabalho também. – arriscou, tentando manter a conversa leve, embora a timidez quase a travasse.
— Ah, o tempo, sim. – ele respondeu com um sorriso melancólico. — Mas o que realmente muda uma pessoa são as experiências. Algumas boas, outras nem tanto.
Harriet levantou os olhos para ele, sentindo que havia algo não dito em suas palavras.
— Você parece… mais sério. – comentou com cuidado, tentando não ser indelicada.
— E você parece mais curiosa. – ele rebateu a provocando, fazendo com que ela sorrisse de leve, mesmo tentando não demonstrar.
Pétala, como se sentisse a tensão no ar, se mexeu no colo de Harriet, atraindo novamente o olhar de Louis. — Ela é uma boa ouvinte? – ele perguntou, brincando, enquanto indicava a coelhinha com o queixo.
A mais nova soltou uma risadinha suave. — Muito. Melhor que muitas pessoas, na verdade.
Louis riu também, e o som grave e despreocupado parecia fazer o ar entre eles ficar menos tenso.
— Bom, espero que ela não roube toda a sua atenção hoje. Sua mãe me convidou para um café, e eu estava morrendo de saudade do bolo de cenoura dela. Ainda tem?
— Tem sim. – Harriet respondeu, sentindo um alívio súbito por poder mudar de assunto. — Ela praticamente fez a receita pensando em você. Quer entrar?
— Se você me acompanhar. – ele disse, piscando para ela com aquele sorriso charmoso que a derretia.
Ela se levantou, ainda segurando Pétala no colo, e caminhou na frente, sentindo o olhar dele em suas costas. Harriet não sabia o que esperar daquela visita, mas tinha certeza de que aquele fim de tarde ficaria marcado de uma forma que ela jamais esqueceria.
🎀ྀིྀི
A casa estava preenchida com o aconchego do café da tarde. A mesa estava repleta de pães quentinhos, bolos frescos e a chaleira de chá que ainda exalava o calor da bebida. Harriet estava sentada ao lado de sua mãe, enquanto Louis, estava à sua frente. O irmão dela, Caleb, estava ao lado dele, rindo enquanto fazia gestos exagerados com as mãos, provavelmente no meio de uma história.
Louis olhou para Caleb com um sorriso descontraído, mas seus olhos, com um brilho distante. Harriet sentiu um leve nó na garganta e mexia distraidamente na xícara de chá, tentando ignorar os olhares furtivos de Louis que pareciam pousar nela com mais frequência do que ela gostaria.
— Ah, mas vocês precisam ouvir essa. – Caleb começou, a voz carregada de entusiasmo, já com o tom provocativo que Harriet conhecia bem. Ela imediatamente sentiu um alerta acender em sua mente. Quando Caleb usava aquele tom, nada de bom estava para ser dito.
— Você não vai acreditar, Louis. – ele continuou, segurando o riso enquanto Harriet começava a corar sem nem saber o que estava por vir. — Uns meses atrás, eu cheguei mais cedo em casa e, adivinha só? Encontrei a doce Harriet no quarto dela, aos beijos com um garoto! E ela ainda tentou disfarçar quando me viu, mas estava tão vermelha que parecia um tomate maduro!
Harriet arregalou os olhos, sentindo o rosto queimar instantaneamente. — Caleb! – ela exclamou, tentando manter a voz firme, mas não conseguiu esconder o constrangimento. — Você é impossível! E para sua informação, ele era só um amigo.
— Amigo? – Caleb riu, levantando uma sobrancelha. — Bom, se era só um amigo, você tem uma forma bem peculiar de cumprimentar os amigos por aqui.
Louis, que até então estava relaxado, agora tinha o semblante mais sério, embora tentasse disfarçar. Ele olhou para Harriet com um misto de surpresa e curiosidade, como se estivesse tentando processar o que havia acabado de ouvir. Harriet evitou seus olhos a todo custo, concentrando-se em sua xícara como se ela fosse o objeto mais interessante do mundo.
— Você precisa parar de invadir meu quarto sem avisar, Caleb. – Harriet retrucou, soando atrevida para mascarar o desconforto. — Não que você entenda, mas existem coisas chamadas privacidade e respeito.
— Ah, claro, privacidade. – Caleb respondeu, rindo. — Isso é exatamente o que você queria naquele momento, né?
Louis, por sua vez, não conseguia disfarçar o interesse pela situação. Ele pigarreou levemente e perguntou, com um sorriso quase imperceptível: — E esse… amigo? Ele ainda está por perto?
Harriet levantou os olhos rapidamente para ele, tentando decifrar o tom na pergunta, mas o olhar dele era indecifrável, como sempre. Ele parecia casual, mas algo na forma como a observava a fazia sentir que havia mais por trás da pergunta. — Não, não está. – ela respondeu de forma curta, torcendo para que o assunto morresse ali.
Mas Louis não parecia satisfeito. — Bom, pelo menos ele teve sorte de conhecer você. – ele disse, a voz baixa e quase gentil.
Havia algo no jeito que ele falou que fez o coração de Harriet disparar. Era um elogio? Uma observação casual? Ela não sabia, e isso só a deixava mais nervosa.
A conversa seguiu, com Caleb rindo das próprias provocações e mudando de assunto para aliviar o clima, mas Harriet mal conseguiu acompanhar. Seu rosto ainda estava quente, e ela sentia o olhar de Louis em si de tempos em tempos, como se ele estivesse analisando cada uma de suas reações. Harriet tentou manter a compostura, mas a tensão no ar parecia crescer a cada segundo.
Quando Louis falou novamente, sua voz era calma, mas carregava um peso que Harriet não conseguia ignorar.
— Parece que muita coisa mudou por aqui enquanto eu estava fora. – ele comentou, seus olhos pousando sobre ela por um instante mais longo do que o necessário. — Imagino que você também tenha mudado bastante, Harriet.
Ela ergueu a cabeça, encontrando o olhar dele por um breve momento antes de desviar.
— Bom, todo mundo muda, não é? – ela respondeu, tentando soar confiante, mas sua voz saiu mais trêmula do que ela gostaria.
Louis apenas sorriu, mas o sorriso não era tão despreocupado quanto antes. Era como se ele estivesse pensando em algo que não dizia em voz alta. Harriet sentiu o peso do momento e tentou se concentrar no chá em sua xícara, mas sabia que a tensão entre eles estava longe de desaparecer.
A mãe de Harriet, sempre gentil e curiosa, aproveitou o momento para quebrar o silêncio constrangedor que pairava no ar. Enquanto colocava mais chá na xícara de Louis, ela perguntou com um sorriso caloroso.
— E então, Louis? Conte mais sobre sua experiência no exército. Imagino que tenha sido desafiador, mas também uma grande aventura.
Louis endireitou os ombros, assumindo uma postura mais séria, mas ainda relaxada. Ele era claramente confortável em falar sobre isso, embora sua voz carregasse um peso que indicava o impacto do que havia vivido.
— Foi desafiador, sim, Anne. No início, foi mais difícil me adaptar à rotina. Acordar antes do sol nascer, os treinamentos intensos, as missões que pareciam intermináveis. Mas com o tempo, tudo isso se tornou parte de quem eu sou. Aprendi a importância de manter a calma, mesmo em situações extremas. Claro, houve momentos em que foi assustador, mas acho que evolui muito como pessoa.
Todos na mesa ouviram com atenção, até mesmo Caleb, que geralmente era o mais desinteressado em conversas sérias. Harriet, no entanto, sentia seu coração bater rápido.
Não era pela história em si, mas pela forma como Louis falava. Sua voz firme e o brilho nos olhos mostravam o homem que ele havia se tornado.
— Você deve ter algumas recordações desses momentos, não? – perguntou a mãe de Harriet, curiosa.
Louis sorriu e pegou o celular do bolso. — Tenho algumas fotos, sim. Sempre que podia, registrava algo. – Ele deslizou o dedo na tela por alguns segundos antes de virar o aparelho para a mesa.
— Essa foi durante um dos nossos treinamentos finais. – disse ele, mostrando uma foto de si mesmo.
Na imagem, Louis estava com o uniforme militar ajustado ao corpo forte, o tecido marcando cada músculo bem definido. Ele segurava uma arma com firmeza, os braços tatuados tensos e as veias salientes, enquanto o rosto exibia uma expressão séria e concentrada. A luz do sol realçava os traços de seu rosto, deixando-o com uma aparência tentadora.
Harriet, que estava tomando um gole de chá, quase engasgou ao ver a foto. Sentiu um calor súbito subir por seu corpo, seguido por uma sensação estranha, como se sua pele estivesse formigando.
— Uau. – Caleb comentou, impressionado. —Você realmente parece um cara durão aí, hein!
A mãe de Harriet também elogiou: — Você parece muito corajoso, Louis. Deve ser o orgulho da sua equipe.
Harriet, no entanto, não conseguiu dizer nada. Seu olhar estava fixo na imagem por mais tempo do que deveria, e seu coração batia tão rápido que ela temia que todos à mesa pudessem ouvir. Cada detalhe da foto parecia intensificar a atração que ela sentia, e isso a assustava profundamente.
— Harriet, o que você acha? – A voz de Caleb a puxou bruscamente de seus pensamentos.
— E-Eu… ah, É uma foto b-boa. – ela respondeu, gaguejando, enquanto tentava desviar o olhar. Mas a imagem de Louis parecia gravada em sua mente, e o calor que tomava conta dela se direcionava diretamente para sua florzinha.
Ela se levantou abruptamente, derrubando a cadeira no processo. — Com licença, e-eu esqueci que tinha que… pegar algo no meu quarto!
Sem esperar por uma resposta, Harriet saiu quase correndo da cozinha, deixando todos na mesa olhando para ela com expressões confusas.
Quando chegou ao quarto, fechou a porta e encostou-se contra ela, tentando recuperar o fôlego. Seu coração ainda batia descontrolado, e ela levou as mãos ao rosto, sentindo o calor que tomava conta de si.
— O que está acontecendo comigo? – ela sussurrou, incrédula. Nunca havia sentido algo assim antes, e o fato de ser por Louis tornava tudo ainda mais complicado. Ela precisava se recompor, mas sabia que, depois de sentir sua calcinha molhar com aquela foto do mais velho, nada mais seria como antes.
🎀ྀིྀི
Harriet estava no quarto, tentando acalmar a confusão de sentimentos que borbulhava dentro dela. Sua xotinha ainda estava quente e melada por baixo da calcinha. Ela nunca se sentiu desse jeito, nem quando beijou alguns meninos da escola.
— Respira, Harriet, respira. – ela sussurrou para si mesma, segurando as próprias mãos para tentar parar de tremer. — Foi só uma foto. Você só está impressionada. É isso. Nada demais.
Depois de alguns minutos, ela finalmente se obrigou a se recompor. Arrumou o cabelo rapidamente no espelho, respirou fundo e decidiu sair do quarto. Quanto mais tempo ela ficasse ali, mais suspeitas levantaria. Precisava voltar para o andar de baixo e agir como se nada tivesse acontecido.
No entanto, ao abrir a porta, Harriet deu de cara com Louis saindo do banheiro, a franja um pouco bagunçada e as mangas de sua camisa dobradas, revelando os antebraços fortes. Ele parou assim que a viu, os olhos encontrando os dela com intensidade.
Por um momento, o tempo pareceu congelar. Harriet sentiu o rosto esquentar de novo, o silêncio entre eles se tornando insuportavelmente palpável. Ela tentou desviar o olhar, mas não conseguiu.
— Harriet. – Louis disse com um leve sorriso nos lábios, aquele tipo de sorriso que parecia saber mais do que deveria. Ele deu um passo em direção a ela, e ela automaticamente recuou.
— Sim? – ela perguntou, a voz saindo um pouco mais alta do que o esperado.
— Você saiu da mesa tão rápido que fiquei pensando, tudo bem com você? – Ele inclinou a cabeça de leve, como se realmente estivesse curioso, mas havia algo em seu tom que a fez desconfiar que ele estava se divertindo com a sua cara.
— Ah, claro! Claro que sim – Harriet respondeu apressadamente, forçando um sorriso. — Eu só lembrei de algo que precisava fazer. Nada importante.
Louis arqueou uma sobrancelha, claramente não acreditando. Ele deu mais um passo em sua direção, diminuindo a distância entre eles, o sorriso nos lábios se alargando levemente.
— Mesmo? Porque parecia que você estava fugindo de alguma coisa. Ou talvez de alguém?
Harriet sentiu o coração acelerar de novo. Ele sabia. Ou, pelo menos, desconfiava. Mas ela não podia, de jeito nenhum, admitir o que estava sentindo. Não para ele.
— Você está implicando comigo, não está? – ela retrucou, tentando parecer desafiadora, mas sua voz tremia levemente.
Louis riu baixinho, cruzando os braços enquanto a observava com atenção. — Eu? Implicando com você? Nunca.
— Claro que está. – Harriet insistiu, aproveitando a deixa para tentar mudar de assunto. — Você sempre adorou me provocar desde que éramos crianças.
— Talvez. – ele admitiu, com um brilho divertido nos olhos. — Mas você não respondeu minha pergunta.
Harriet sentiu que estava prestes a entrar em pânico novamente. Ele estava encurralando-a de forma tão óbvia, que ela precisava sair dali antes que dissesse algo que não deveria.
— Eu não sei do que você está falando, Louis. – ela disse rapidamente, dando um passo para trás em direção à escada. — E, sinceramente, não tenho tempo para isso agora. Minha mãe deve estar me esperando lá embaixo.
Sem esperar por uma resposta, Harriet se virou e praticamente desceu correndo as escadas, sentindo o olhar de Louis queimando em suas costas enquanto ela fugia mais uma vez. Ao chegar ao andar de baixo, ela tentou parecer calma, mas por dentro ainda estava um caos.
— Isso não pode continuar assim. – ela murmurou para si mesma, enquanto fingia se ocupar com algo na cozinha. Mas no fundo, ela sabia que, depois daquele encontro, era apenas uma questão de tempo até que Louis a provocasse de novo. E o pior? Ela não tinha certeza se conseguiria resistir.
🎀ྀིྀི
Nos dias seguintes, Harriet fez o possível para evitar qualquer momento a sós com Louis. Sempre que ele entrava em um cômodo, ela encontrava uma desculpa para sair. Se ele começava a se aproximar, ela rapidamente se ocupava com algo ou se refugiava no quarto. Era uma estratégia cuidadosamente elaborada que, para sua surpresa, parecia estar funcionando.
Louis, por sua vez, parecia ocupado demais para provocá-la novamente. A casa estava cheia de parentes que vinham visitá-lo, ansiosos por ouvir suas histórias do exército e ver como ele havia mudado. Ele estava constantemente cercado por adultos que o admiravam, jovens que faziam perguntas incessantes e até crianças que o seguiam como se ele fosse um super herói de histórias em quadrinhos.
Harriet se sentia aliviada. Com a atenção de todos voltada para Louis, ela finalmente pôde relaxar um pouco. Ele estava sempre ocupado conversando, rindo ou compartilhando fotos de suas experiências.
À noite, a família se reunia para jantares animados, e Harriet se escondia entre as conversas dos outros, mantendo a cabeça baixa e participando apenas quando necessário. Sempre que seus olhos cruzavam com os de Louis por acaso, ela desviava rapidamente, sentindo o calor subir pelo rosto, mas ele não parecia notar.
Apesar disso, algo dentro dela ainda estava inquieto. Mesmo sem a provocação direta, a simples presença de Louis era suficiente para deixá-la desconcertada. Ele parecia ainda mais carismático, mais confiante e mais tentador, impossível de ignorar. Mas Harriet estava determinada a manter sua distância.
Assim, os dias se passaram em uma espécie de equilíbrio frágil. Harriet evitava, Louis não insistia, e a dinâmica da casa seguia tranquila, pelo menos na superfície.
🎀ྀིྀི
A sala de estar estava cheia de risos e conversas animadas. A família de Harriet se reunia novamente, e o centro das atenções, como sempre, era Louis. Ele estava sentado em uma das poltronas, com a postura relaxada e o sorriso charmoso que parecia atrair todos à sua volta.
Harriet, que tentava passar despercebida sentada no canto oposto da sala, observava de longe enquanto uma de suas primas, Lily, fazia um esforço evidente para monopolizar a atenção dele. Lily era um pouco mais velha que Harriet e conhecida por seu jeito encantador, sempre se destacando em qualquer reunião familiar.
— Então, Louis. – Lily disse, inclinando-se um pouco mais do que o necessário, os olhos brilhando de interesse. — Deve ser tão emocionante estar no exército. Aposto que você tem histórias incríveis para contar.
Louis sorriu de um jeito que Harriet reconhecia muito bem, aquele sorriso sacana e quase provocador que ele costumava usar quando era mais novo e seduzia as garotas do bairro. — É, tem seus momentos emocionantes. Mas não sei se seriam interessantes o suficiente para você, Lily.
— Oh, tenho certeza que seriam, qualquer dia desses você poderia me falar ou mostrar. – ela retrucou, tocando levemente o braço dele, uma risada suave escapando de seus lábios.
Harriet sentiu o sangue ferver. Ela sabia que não tinha o direito de se incomodar, mas não conseguiu evitar. A cena diante dela era como um espinho em sua pele. O que a irritava mais, porém, não era Lily, mas o fato de Louis parecer estar gostando da atenção.
Ela apertou o punho contra o braço da poltrona, tentando manter a compostura. Mas quando Louis olhou para Lily novamente com aquele mesmo sorriso provocador, algo dentro dela estalou.
Sem perceber, Harriet lançou um olhar fulminante na direção dos dois, o ódio evidente em seus olhos. Foi só quando Louis virou a cabeça e encontrou o olhar dela que Harriet percebeu que havia se entregado. Ele a encarou por um momento, a sobrancelha levemente arqueada, como se estivesse tentando decifrar sua reação.
Depois de alguns segundos, o canto da boca de Louis se curvou em um sorriso divertido. Ele sabia.
Mais tarde, quando todos estavam espalhados pela casa e Harriet finalmente pensou que tinha escapado da cena embaraçosa, Louis apareceu do nada na cozinha, onde ela estava tentando se ocupar cortando uma fatia de bolo.
— Você está estranhamente quieta hoje, Harriet. – ele disse, encostando-se casualmente na bancada, os braços cruzados. — Algo errado?
Ela nem olhou para ele. — Nada. Por que teria algo errado?
— Não sei. – ele disse, em um tom que soava inocente, mas o brilho nos olhos denunciava sua verdadeira intenção. — É que lá na sala você parecia… incomodada com alguma coisa. Achei que talvez tivesse algo a ver com Lily.
Harriet parou de cortar o bolo por um instante, sentindo o coração disparar. Mas ela rapidamente se recompôs. — A idade avançada está fazendo você imaginar coisas, Louis.
— Será? – Ele deu um passo em direção a ela, abaixando a voz. — Porque, para mim, parecia que você estava com ciúmes.
Harriet girou para encará-lo, chocada, seu rosto ficando vermelho instantaneamente. — Ciúmes? Não seja ridículo!
Louis riu, um som baixo e divertido que só a irritou ainda mais. — Ah, claro. É ridículo. Deve ter sido impressão minha, então.
— Exatamente. – ela retrucou, tentando soar firme, mas sua voz vacilou levemente. Ela virou as costas, voltando sua atenção ao bolo, mas sentia o olhar dele a queimando.
Louis deu outro passo, ficando mais perto, e se inclinou ligeiramente para falar perto de seu ouvido. — Se quiser que eu dê atenção para você, é só dizer, Harriet.
Ela se virou novamente, os olhos arregalados de choque. — Você é insuportável, sabia?
— Talvez. – ele disse, dando de ombros, o sorriso divertido ainda nos lábios. — Mas pelo menos sou honesto.
Antes que ela pudesse responder, ele se afastou, saindo da cozinha com a mesma confiança provocadora que a deixava sem saber como agir. Harriet ficou parada ali, com o bolo esquecido na bancada, o coração batendo tão rápido que parecia que ia explodir.
Ela levou as mãos ao rosto, respirando fundo, enquanto o medo crescia em seu peito. Louis havia percebido. Ele sabia. E Harriet não tinha ideia de como esconder seu segredo agora que ele parecia determinado a provocá-la.
Harriet ficou alguns minutos na cozinha, tentando recuperar o controle. Passava as mãos pelo rosto, respirava fundo, mas nada parecia aliviar o turbilhão que Louis tinha causado dentro dela. Ele sabia, e isso a deixava completamente vulnerável.
Ela pegou uma fatia do bolo que cortara e se apoiou na bancada, tentando convencer a si mesma de que tudo não passava de uma brincadeira sem graça dele. — Ele só quer me provocar… Só isso. Não significa nada. Não pode significar.
Mas, no fundo, Harriet sabia que não era tão simples assim. Louis parecia se divertir demais com as reações dela, como se estivesse testando seus limites. E o pior? Ele parecia estar sempre um passo à frente.
De repente, passos soaram pelo corredor. Antes que Harriet pudesse sair ou se recompor, Louis entrou na cozinha novamente, como se fosse a coisa mais natural do mundo.
— Ah, você ainda está aqui. – Ele parecia surpreso, mas o tom em sua voz entregava que estava longe de ser um acaso. Ele encostou na bancada novamente, cruzando os braços, os olhos fixos nela.
— E onde mais eu estaria? – Harriet respondeu, tentando soar casual, mas sua voz saiu mais irritada do que queria.
Louis sorriu de canto, aquele sorriso que fazia seu coração tropeçar. — Achei que já tivesse fugido. Você parece fazer isso muito bem ultimamente.
Harriet o encarou, tentando manter o controle. — Se estou fugindo de alguma coisa, é de você. E com razão, já que não me deixa em paz.
Ele se aproximou alguns passos, reduzindo ainda mais a distância entre eles. — E por que você acha que não consigo te deixar em paz, Harriet?
Ela ficou sem resposta. As palavras pareciam presas em sua garganta enquanto os olhos de Louis a prendiam no lugar. Ele era intenso, confiante, e isso a desestabilizava por completo.
— Talvez você só goste de implicar comigo porque não tem nada melhor pra fazer. – ela disse finalmente, tentando soar desafiadora.
Louis soltou uma risada baixa, inclinando-se levemente, ficando perigosamente perto de seu corpo. — Ou talvez eu tenha minhas razões.
Harriet sentiu o ar faltar. Suas mãos apertaram o balcão atrás de si, e seu coração batia tão rápido que ela achou que ele poderia ouvir. — Razões? Que razões?
Ele abriu um sorriso enigmático, como se soubesse exatamente o que estava fazendo. — Acho que você sabe, Harriet.
Antes que ela pudesse responder, um som de passos vindo do corredor interrompeu o momento. Harriet aproveitou a chance para escapar, passando por ele apressada e sem olhar para trás.
Quando chegou à sala, sentou-se rapidamente no sofá, tentando parecer natural enquanto sua mente ainda girava com as palavras de Louis. Ele a estava testando, provocando ou havia algo mais? Harriet não sabia, mas uma coisa era certa: ela não podia esconder para sempre o que sentia. E, pelo jeito, Louis sabia disso tão bem quanto ela.
🎀ྀིྀི
Após o café da tarde, o ambiente da casa parecia mais tranquilo, menos para Harriet que estava no jardim dos fundos, o sol já se escondendo atrás das colinas, deixando o céu tingido de tons alaranjados e rosados. Ela estava agachada perto da cerca de madeira, chamando por sua coelhinha.
— Pétala? Onde você está? – Sua voz estava trêmula, carregada de preocupação. Harriet andou por entre os arbustos e a pequena horta, seus olhos atentos a cada movimento, mas a coelhinha não aparecia. — Oh, não, onde você se meteu?
O desespero começou a tomar conta. Pétala nunca se afastava tanto, e a ideia de perdê-la fazia seus olhos arderem. Harriet sabia que não conseguiria procurá-la sozinha, mas ninguém da sua família estava em casa. Restava apenas uma pessoa. A última pessoa com quem ela queria interagir tão de perto.
Louis.
Ela respirou fundo, apertando as mãos contra o tecido de seu vestido. Pedir ajuda a ele seria embaraçoso, mas não havia alternativa. Harriet entrou na casa rapidamente, encontrando Louis casualmente escorado no balcão da cozinha, mexendo no celular, com aquele sorriso despreocupado que sempre a desarmava.
— Louis… –Ela hesitou, a voz baixa.
Ele ergueu o rosto em sua direção, as sobrancelhas arqueadas em curiosidade. — O que foi, Harriet?
— E-Eu, P-Pétala desapareceu. Eu não consigo encontrá-la, e preciso de ajuda para procurá-la no campo. – As palavras saíram apressadas, quase atropelando umas às outras, enquanto ela evitava olhar diretamente para ele.
Louis a observou por um momento, o sorriso crescendo nos lábios. — Você quer minha ajuda?
Ela assentiu rapidamente, sem confiar em sua voz para responder.
— Interessante. – ele murmurou, empurrando-se da porta e ficando mais próximo. — Você nunca pede nada pra mim, Harriet. O que mudou?
— Não é hora para brincadeiras, Louis. – ela disse, a irritação começando a transparecer. — Você vai ajudar ou não?
Ele riu baixinho. — Claro que vou. Não posso deixar você sozinha numa missão tão importante.
Sem mais uma palavra, eles saíram para o campo. O silêncio entre os dois era denso, quebrado apenas pelos chamados ocasionais de Harriet por Pétala. Louis, no entanto, parecia menos preocupado com a busca e mais atento a Harriet, observando-a seu corpo com aquele olhar que sempre a deixava aflita, como se ele enxergasse todo o seu corpo nu.
Depois de alguns minutos, ele finalmente quebrou o silêncio.
— Você parece bem nervosa, Harriet. – comentou casualmente, caminhando ao lado dela.
— É claro que estou nervosa. Pétala está perdida. – ela respondeu, sem olhar para ele.
— É só isso? – ele provocou, inclinando a cabeça para tentar captar sua expressão.
Harriet parou abruptamente, virando-se para encará-lo. — O que mais seria, Louis? Por que você sempre tem que implicar comigo?
Ele deu um passo à frente, reduzindo a distância entre eles. Seus olhos encontraram os dela, e o sorriso em seus lábios se tornou mais intenso, quase perigoso.
— Você realmente acha que não percebo? – ele disse baixo, a voz rouca, carregada de malícia.
Harriet piscou, confusa. — Percebe o quê?
Louis deu mais um passo, e agora estavam tão próximos que Harriet podia sentir o calor e o cheiro másculo dele. — O jeito que você me evita. Como você fica tensa quando estou por perto. E, principalmente, como você nunca consegue me olhar nos olhos por muito tempo.
O coração de Harriet começou a bater mais rápido, e ela deu um passo para trás, mas Louis avançou na mesma medida, mantendo-a presa entre ele e uma árvore próxima.
— E-Eu não sei do que você está falando. – ela disse, tentando soar firme, mas sua voz saiu mais como um sussurro.
Ele riu, o som baixo e rouco. — Não sabe? Harriet, você é péssima em esconder as coisas. Eu sei que você sente tesão por mim.
O choque a atingiu como um raio. Seus olhos se arregalaram, e ela balançou a cabeça, tentando negar. — Isso é… a-absurdo. Eu não sinto nada por você, Louis.
Ele inclinou a cabeça, examinando-a como se estivesse tentando decidir se acreditava ou não. —Você pode mentir pra si mesma, mas não pra mim. Eu sei que você ficou excitada quando viu minha foto, aquilo te deixou molhadinha, Princesa?
As palavras dele a atingiram com força, deixando-a completamente sem chão. Harriet ficou em silêncio, a mente girando, tentando processar o que acabara de ouvir.
— Você está zombando de mim. – ela finalmente conseguiu dizer, embora sua voz estivesse trêmula.
Louis deu um meio sorriso, inclinando-se ainda mais perto, até seus rostos estarem a poucos centímetros de distância. — Não estou.
Antes que ela pudesse responder, ele ergueu uma das mãos, segurando-a pelo queixo com firmeza. Seus olhos estavam fixos nos dela, e Harriet sentiu como se o mundo ao redor tivesse parado.
— Eu quero você, Harriet. – ele disse, a voz baixa, quase um sussurro. — Eu quero tanto te foder, desde o dia em que eu cheguei e coloquei os olhos em você na varanda.
Sem dar tempo para que ela respondesse ou fugisse, Louis se inclinou e tomou seus lábios em um beijo desejoso, pressionando-a contra o tronco da árvore. O toque dele era firme, em sua cintura, mas deslizou mais um pouco para baixo, acariciando a poupa da sua bunda por de baixo do vestido, e Harriet sentiu todo o calor que a mão dele transmitia, um calor que parecia irradiar toda a sua xotinha.
As línguas se esfregavam lentamente, causando um arrepio no corpinho da mais nova. Quando ele finalmente se afastou, Harriet estava sem fôlego, o rosto corado e o coração batendo como se fosse explodir. Louis olhou para ela com um sorriso satisfeito, antes de descer os beijos para o seu pescoço branquinho, lambendo a pele sensível e chupando.
A mais nova se assustou quando entre um chupão e outro, ela sentiu sua bucetinha se melar inteira, do mesmo jeito de quando ela viu a foto de Louis vestido com aquele uniforme militar.
— Louis e-espera – harriet empurrou suavemente ele pelos ombros, completamente nervosa.
— O que foi? – ele perguntou lambendo os lábios molhados, enquanto encarava fixamente os lábios gordinhos da mais nova.
— Eu acho melhor pararmos, eu to me sentindo estranha. – ela falou e o mais velho soltou um riso pelo nariz.
— Estranha é? Aonde? Aqui? – ele adentrou a mão por baixo do vestidinho curtinho que ela usava, passando a mão pela xotinha da mais nova por cima da calcinha, sentindo a umidade no local.
— S-sim – Harriet gaguejou, suas pernas tremendo quando Louis começou a fazer movimentos circulares em cima do seu grelinho.
— E está doendo, né? – ele perguntou manso, enquanto esfregava a xotinha molhada com mais força.
Sem forças para responder, a garota apenas acenou frequentemente com a cabeça enquanto se pendurava no mais velho pela diferença de altura, e se agarrava nos ombros fortes em apoio, gemendo descontroladamente.
— Eu sei um jeito de fazer parar, você quer que o Lou te ajude?
— S-sim Lou. E-eu – sem conseguir terminar a frase, a garota joga a cabeça para trás, seus olhos rolando enquanto Louis chupava o seu pescoço e acelerava os movimentos por cima da calcinha.
— Porra, Harriet. Você é tão gostosa. – ele geme em seu pescoço, seus dedos adentrando a calcinha da garota, sentindo livremente a textura da xota macia depiladinha e molhada da garota.
O tatuado espalhava o melzinho que saia aos montes da sua entradinha por seu clítoris, deslizando os dedos com mais facilidade. Sentindo as pernas branquinhas tremerem com força quando escorregou um dedo para a entrada molhada sem dificuldades.
— Abre mais as pernas, amor. – Louis disse baixinho em seu ouvido, a garota obedecendo no mesmo segundo, levantando e apoiando uma de suas pernas no quadril largo, dando espaço para o dedo que entrava com força em sua grutinha. — Porra, você tá tão molhada que seu melzinho tá espirrando nos meus pulsos.
Harriet leva seus olhos brilhantes para a cena, soltando um gemido manhoso ao avistar o pulso tatuado totalmente molhado, enquanto impulsionava os dedos para dentro. Louis sentia seu cacete formigar ainda preso na cueca, então com a mão livre, abriu o zíper da calça, puxando seu pau dolorido para fora da boxer.
Ao ver o membro imenso em sua frente, Harriet se assustou, nunca tinha visto um pessoalmente antes já que era sua primeira vez com um homem, viu somente por vídeos na internet. Nervosa, ela tenta abaixar suas pernas, mas Louis a segura firmemente, enquanto punhetava seu pau com firmeza.
— Eu não vou machucar você, não precisa ter medo. – ele deixou um selinho em seus lábios, lubrificando o pau com seu melzinho. — Eu só vou esfregar um pouquinho, por isso você tem que deixar as pernas bem abertinhas, tá bom?
Não tinha como voltar atrás, sua xotinha estava doendo tanto, então ela apenas ficou ali, com as pernas abertas enquanto Louis puxava sua calcinha e encaixava a cabecinha gorda do seu pau, prendendo ela ali dentro.
Harriet soltou um gritinho com a sensação nova, nunca sentiu nada assim antes, a cabecinha molhada esfregando deliciosamente em seu grelhinho. Ela apenas não conseguia mais conter seus gemidos e Louis estava adorando, vendo a mais nova se deliciar conforme ele esfregava o comprimento na xotinha macia dela, sentindo as mãos pequenas dela puxarem os cabelos de sua nuca, em busca de algo para se apoiar conforme ele acelerou os movimentos do quadril.
— Porra você tá tão molhada com tão pouco, como você vai ficar quando eu comer você gostoso?
A mais nova gemeu baixinho com a fala, arranhando a nuca de Louis, sentindo seu corpo alavancar para cima a cada estocada do maior. O barulho molhado que fazia toda vez que ele estocava com força sua cabeça na grutinha encharcada o deixava insano.
Os olhos de Louis desceram para os peitinhos que balançavam levemente, dependendo da força que ele colocava nos movimentos. Levantando a mão em direção a alça da regata da mais nova, ele puxa suavemente para baixo, deixando os peitinhos a mostra, sua boca salivando ao olhar para eles, por que eram tão lindos. Grandes e cheinhos na medida certa.
Louis aumentou a velocidade e a força que esfregava seu pau totalmente babado na xota da garota, agarrando e puxando com força um punhado dos cabelos encaracolados para trás, apenas para ver os peitinhos rosadinhos dela balançando perto do seu peitoral.
— L-lou e-eu não consigo segura-r, acho q-que vou faz-er xixi… – a mais nova chora dengosa, era muito estímulo para sua bucetinha virgem e seu corpo sensível. Os olhos de Louis desviaram dos seus seios apenas para encarar seus olhos encharcados de lágrimas.
— Tudo bem, Meu Doce. Você pode gozar, goza gostoso no meu pau, vai.
E ela gozou. Gozou forte enquanto gritava alto e seu corpo convulsionava. Sua xotinha ardendo de tanto tesão conforme a pegada de Louis em seu cabelo ficou mais forte, o pau continuando a estimular seu grelhinho sensível, mesmo ela se acabando em lágrimas.
— Porra, Princesa. Como você é deliciosa.
Ela sentiu Louis esporrar em sua entradinha, o mais velho abafando o gemido grosso ao enfiar e sugar um de seus peitinhos na boca. A porra jorrada se misturando junto com seu melzinho
Se Louis não tivesse a segurado, ela definitivamente tinha caído no chão, suas pernas ainda tremelicavam, e conforme ela chorava sensivelmente, Louis ajustava no lugar a roupa dos dois, enquanto deixava beijinhos carinhosos em seu rosto molhado.
— Você foi incrível.
Harriet sentiu as palavras dele aliviar parte de sua tensão, mas seu coração ainda estava acelerado. Ela não sabia como lidar com tanta informação, mas, de algum modo, o carinho de Louis fazia tudo parecer menos preocupante.
— Agora vamos encontrar sua coelha. – ele disse, com um tom mais leve, recuando um pouco para dar espaço a ela. Eles continuaram caminhando em busca da coelhinha. A pernas de harriet um pouco trêmulas, enquanto ela sentia a porra de Louis escorrer entre suas pernas a cada passo que dava.
O sol já havia se posto há muito tempo quando Harriet e Louis voltaram do campo com Pétala em segurança. A coelhinha estava aninhada em seus braços, mas o peso que ela sentia em seu peito era completamente diferente.
Durante o jantar, os olhares entre os dois foram constantes, e nenhum dos dois fez esforço para disfarçar. Harriet se esforçava para agir normalmente, mas cada vez que seus olhos cruzavam os dele, um arrepio subia por sua espinha, e ela se lembrava vividamente de tudo que fizeram no campo.
Quando os risos e as conversas familiares finalmente terminaram, Harriet achou que teria paz. Mas, ao sair da mesa de jantar em direção ao corredor, ela sentiu uma presença logo atrás de si.
— Fugindo de mim, Harriet? – A voz rouca de Louis soou perto de seu ouvido, e antes que ela pudesse reagir, ele a encurralou contra a parede do corredor, o olhar intenso fixo no dela.
— Louis, o que você está fazendo? – ela sussurrou, sua voz falhando enquanto o coração disparava.
Ele se inclinou mais perto, o rosto a centímetros do dela. — Você sabe exatamente o que estou fazendo.
Ela engoliu em seco, sentindo o calor subir por suas bochechas. Acompanhando com o olhar as mãos de Louis irem para baixo do seu vestidinho, os dedos adentrando a calcinha e dedilhando os lábios de sua bucetinha, ainda molhada de porra.
Louis riu baixinho, inclinando a cabeça para o lado. — você é terrível em esconder o que está sentindo. Desde o momento que voltamos do campo, você tem me olhado como se ainda estivesse com as pernas abertas esfregando essa xotinha em mim naquele tronco de árvore.
Harriet arregalou os olhos, o rosto ardendo de vergonha. — Fale baixo, Louis! Alguém pode escutar.
— É mesmo? – ele provocou, os olhos brilhando em diversão. Ele recolheu com as pontas do dedo e levou aos lábios, lambendo seu melzinho em uma provocação que a fez estremecer. — Sabe, Harriet. Ainda podemos continuar de onde paramos, se quiser.
Ela o empurrou com um pouco de força, passando por ele com passos apressados. — Você é impossível, Louis!
— Boa noite, Harriet. – ele respondeu com um sorriso que sabia que a mais nova mais cedo ou tarde iria atrás dele.
🎀ྀིྀི
Já passava da meia-noite, mas Harriet não conseguia pregar os olhos. Virava de um lado para o outro na cama, sentindo-se inquieta. Cada vez que fechava os olhos, a imagem de Louis surgia em sua mente. Ela respirou fundo, sentando-se na cama. Talvez, se resolvesse aquilo agora, pudesse finalmente dormir.
Sem pensar muito, antes que a coragem a abandonasse, Harriet levantou-se, seu corpo coberto por uma camisola de seda e saiu do quarto. O corredor estava escuro e silencioso, cada passo ecoando levemente enquanto ela se aproximava do quarto de hóspedes onde Louis estava.
Quando finalmente chegou à porta, hesitou por um momento, o coração disparado. Mas, reunindo toda a coragem que tinha, bateu suavemente.
A porta abriu-se quase imediatamente, revelando Louis, que parecia ter acabado de sair do banho. Ele estava descalço, vestindo apenas uma calça de moletom cinza, o cabelo ligeiramente bagunçado. O sorriso presunçoso que surgiu em seus lábios quando a viu fez Harriet desejar ter voltado para o quarto.
— Harriet. – ele disse, nenhum pouco surpreso com visita, sabia que em algum momento ela iria trás dele. — O que está fazendo aqui a essa hora?
— Eu… – Ela tentou desviar o olhar, mas não conseguiu. — Eu só q-queria agradecer por ter me ajudado com Pétala hoje.
Louis encostou-se ao batente da porta, cruzando os braços, o sorriso provocador crescendo. — A essa hora?
— Eu não conseguia dormir. – ela confessou, a voz quase inaudível.
Ele riu suavemente, abrindo mais a porta. — Quer entrar?
Harriet hesitou, mas acabou entrando, sentindo-se incrivelmente nervosa. O quarto parecia ainda menor com os dois ali, e ela mal sabia onde colocar as mãos ou o olhar.
— Você realmente veio até aqui só pra agradecer? – Louis perguntou, fechando a porta e se aproximando.
— Sim! Por que mais eu viria? – ela respondeu apressada, mas sua voz vacilou no final, a entregando.
Louis inclinou a cabeça, a observando como se estivesse lendo cada pensamento dela. —Sabe, Coração. Acho que você está mentindo pra mim.
— Eu não estou! – ela retrucou, embora seu tom estivesse afetado pelo modo em que ele a chamou.
Ele riu, parando a poucos passos dela. — Você podia ter me agradecido amanhã de manhã, mas veio aqui agora, no meio da noite, no meu quarto, com essa camisola curtinha. Sabe o que eu acho?
Harriet engoliu em seco, incapaz de desviar o olhar. — O quê?
Louis se inclinou levemente, seu rosto próximo ao dela. — Acho que você não veio só pra agradecer. Acho que você veio me dar algo mais.
O coração de Harriet parecia que ia sair do peito. — Louis, você está delirando…
— Estou? – ele provocou, a voz baixa e carregada de luxúria, que fazia a pele dela se arrepiar. Ele deu mais um passo, e Harriet recuou instintivamente, mas a cama atrás dela impediu que fosse longe.
Louis ergueu uma das mãos, tocando suavemente o rosto dela. — Se quiser voltar para o seu quarto, pode ir agora. Mas, se ficar…
Harriet o interrompeu, balançando a cabeça. — Você é um canalha…
— E você é irresistível. – ele murmurou, antes de inclinar-se e capturar seus lábios em um beijo que a fez perder as forças das pernas.
Louis não lhe deu tempo para fugir. Assim que seus lábios tocaram os dela, Harriet sentiu o mundo girar. A pegada dele era firme e intensa em sua cintura, puxando-a para mais perto, enquanto ela sentia o calor de seu corpo contra o dela. Ela tentou resistir ao turbilhão de emoções, mas seu corpo parecia agir por conta própria.
Suas mãos hesitantes subiram até os ombros largos de Louis, e ela se sentiu pequena diante dele. Ele era muito mais alto, ela mal conseguia alcançar o pescoço dele sem ficar na ponta dos pés. Louis notou isso, então firmou o aperto em sua cintura e a ergueu levemente, deixando-a cruzar as pernas em seu quadril, enquanto a mantinha na altura perfeita para que pudesse beijá-la sem esforço.
Ela soltou um suspiro surpreso, e ele aproveitou para aprofundar o beijo, entrelaçando suas línguas, explorando a boca dela de uma maneira faminta que a deixou sem ar. Harriet sentiu o calor tomar conta de todo o seu corpo quando sentiu sua xotinha livre de qualquer pano se esfregar na pele exposta do maior, gemendo baixinho ao sentir os pelos aparados da pélvis arranharem sua bucetinha sensível, suas mãos se agarrando ao pescoço dele enquanto suas pernas estavam bambas.
Quando ele finalmente se afastou, ambos estavam ofegantes, os lábios interligados com um fio de saliva. Louis a colocou de volta no chão devagar, mas não se afastou. Ele olhou para sua pélvis, vendo ela molhada com seu melzinho, dando um sorriso de lado antes de pegar com as pontas dos dedos e levar até os lábios.
— Seu gostinho é tão bom, Princesa. Você quer esfregar sua bucetinha no meu pau novamente? – ele perguntou sedutoramente, os olhos passeando pelo rosto dela, vendo quando ela mordeu os lábios, enquanto cruzava as pernas com força.
Louis inclinou-se novamente em sua direção e tomou seus lábios fortemente. Ela correspondeu sem hesitar, fechando os olhos e se entregando enquanto sentia a língua dele se esfregar na sua deliciosamente.
Os movimentos das suas línguas eram firmes e calorosos, e ela gemeu ao sentir as mãos fortes dele deslizaram por sua cintura até sua bunda, alisando e apertando com força antes de adentrar as mãos por baixo do tecido, puxando seu quadril levemente para mais perto.
— Você não tá usando calcinha?
Harriet negou timidamente, soltando um som supreso e manhoso quando sentiu os fios da sua nuca serem puxados com força.
— Você é uma putinha mesmo, não é? Foi só esfregar um pouquinho dessa xotinha em mim e se tornou essa desesperada por pau. – ele falou firme, puxando o cabelo dela com mais força. — Se ajoelha, já que faz tanta questão do meu pau, eu vou te dar ele.
O rosto angelical já estava banhado de lágrimas, fungando chorosa conforme se colocava de joelhos. Louis nunca soltando o agarre em seus cabelos enquanto puxava a barra da calça moletom, colocando somente o seu pau completamente duro e babado para fora. Harriet lambou os lábios, sentindo sua boca salivar ao ver o maior punhetando o pau deliciosamente em seu rosto.
— Agora você vai abrir a boquinha e me chupar gostoso.
E ela obedeceu rapidamente, seus olhos brilhando em ansiedade enquanto via Louis aproximar seu pau de seus lábios. Ela sugou a cabecinha lentamente, se familiarizando, sentindo mais do comprimento grosso entrar em sua boca. Harriet era inexperiente mas não inocente, teoricamente ela sabia como fazer um boquete, ja tinha visto vídeos na internet quando era mais nova.
Ela soltou um pouco de saliva na cabecinha, antes de abrigá-la em sua boca, rodopiando a língua úmida em volta dela, friccionando constantemente na linha da glande, sentindo o mais velho contrair o quadril para trás, gemendo surpreso pelo estímulo intenso, apertando mais forte seu cabelo.
Harriet tentou levar mais do comprimento em sua boca, os cantos dos lábios se esticando para receber mais do comprimento grosso, nunca deixando de acariciar a língua pelos lados. Em algum momento a cabecinha pressionou em sua goela, fazendo a mais nova engasgar com força, se afastando do comprimento e tossindo.
Mas não teve muito tempo para se recompor já que Louis levantou sua cabeça para cima e enfiou seu cacete com tudo na boca encharcada novamente, a mais nova apoiando as mãos nas coxas musculosas do mais velho, tentando relaxar a garganta enquanto gemia abafado, enviando vibrações para o cacete entalado em sua garganta.
— Porra isso, se engasga gostoso no meu pau. – Louis proferiu gemendo rouco, enquanto puxava grosseiramente os cabelos da nuca garota, a forçando a enfiar mais do seu caralho na boca.
E harriet não tinha o que fazer, a não ser aceitar de bom grado tudo o que estava recebendo, esticando sua língua e babando no comprimento grosso, gemendo dengosa ao ver seu nariz encostando na pélvis do mais velho, sentindo quando ele começou a estocar seu cacete na sua cavidade quente. Sua xotinha estava pegando fogo, pulsando e se melando toda, seu melzinho pingando no chão.
Tentando de algum modo aliviar a pulsação entre suas pernas, ela separou as pernas, levando a mão por baixo da camisola curtinha, seus dedos esfregando timidamente seu grelhinho, a sensação de prazer fazendo ela soltar um grito entalado enquanto ainda sentia o pau indo e voltando na sua goela.
Os gemidos que Louis soltava acima de si fizeram ela levantar o olhar, a visão do rosto másculo contorcido em prazer e a franja grudando em sua testa fez a mais nova esfregar furiosamente seu grelhinho sensível, seu corpinho tremendo com tanta estímulação.
Tudo isso era muito para ela, então ela levou a mão livre para o pulso que ainda segurava firmemente seu cabelo, apertando e arranhando tentando chamar a atenção de Louis. Ela sentiu o momento em que ele se retirou da sua boca, ao mesmo tempo em que sentiu o tapa forte em sua bochecha, em seguida pegando sua franja e puxando com tudo para trás.
— O que foi, hm? A vagabunda sedenta não aguenta levar um pau na garganta? – ele grunhiu irritado, vendo o momento em que a garota franziu as sobrancelhas e gemeu chorosa.
— D-desculpa, Lo-ou. E-eu – harriet tentou falar, mas sua voz falhou, totalmente rouca pelo esforço que fez ao chupar o pau. — Minha florzinha e-esta doendo Lou, eu ‘to mui-muito m-molhada.
Para comprovar sua fala, ela se afastou um pouco para trás, abrindo bem as pernas e levantando a camisola, dando a visão para o mais velho da poça molhada no chão. Os olhos azuis analisaram a bagunça que ela fez no chão, antes de levantar em direção ao seu rostinho angelical totalmente corado e banhado de lágrimas.
— Levanta. – Louis mandou irritado, a voz mais grave do que antes. A garota tentou se equilibrar e reunir forças nas pernas bambas, suas pernas tremendo ao fazer esforço para cima. — Anda logo, caralho!
Harriet grunhiu dolorida ao sentir as mãos do mais velho puxar seus cabelos para cima, a jogando na cama, seu corpo pulando ao cair sentada no colchão. Sua bucetinha se melando ainda mais ao ver o pau vermelho rubro totalmente ereto em sua frente, não balançando em nenhum momento de tão duro que estava.
— Coloca esses peitinhos para fora, hm? – o maior pediu excitado, punhetando seu membro e acompanhando as mãos da mais nova abaixando as alças da camisola, seus peitinhos cheinhos e empinadinhos pulando para fora, totalmente expostos.
Com a mão livre ele apertou o seio direito, a pele transbordando entre seus dedos. Ele escutou o gemidinho dengoso da mais nova com o estímulo e soltou um riso quando avistou ela separar as pernas e tentar se aliviar no colchão.
— A minha garotinha está tão desesperadinha para gozar, você quer que eu te ajude? – harriet assentiu freneticamente, seus olhos verdes encarando fixamente seu pau.
— Como você quer? Que eu use os meus dedos? Ou quem sabe o meu pau?
— Eu quero tudo, Lou. T-tudo que vier de V-você. – harriet gemeu baixinho, mordendo seus lábios ansiosa.
Louis rapidamente a empurrou contra a cama, a fazendo se deitar, levantando e embolando rapidamente a camisola na sua cintura. Ele apoiou as mãos por trás das suas coxas, as levantando e fazendo seus joelhos pressionarem seus peitinhos, a deixando totalmente a sua mercê.
Ele analisou sua bucetinha, lubrificando os lábios finos enquanto dedilhava com as pontas dos dedos os lábios molhados, levando o polegar até seu clítoris esfoladinho e movimentando devargazinho a provocando.
— Porra, que buceta linda. – Louis gemeu rente a sua bucetinha, ele acumulou um pouco de saliva na boca antes de deixar cair em cima do grelhinho inchado, assoprando logo em seguida e fazendo ela gemer pela a sensação gélida na sua florzinha.
— P-por favor, e-eu – a garota implorou baixinho, não ia aguentar ser provocada por mais tempo.
Louis olhou para cima, seus olhos flagrando o momento em que lágrimas caíram dos olhos verdinhos. Por mais que quisesse provocar a garota, sabia que era a primeira vez que seu corpo era estimulado dessa forma, então sem desviar o olhar do rosto corado, ele lambeu uma faixa da buceta vermelha, recolhendo com a ponta da língua um pouco do melzinho que escorria e depois subiu até o grelhinho, dando lambinhas fracas para testar as reações dela.
Harriet gemeu escandalosa, nunca teve nenhum tipo de contato na sua bucetinha virgem, e agora ter a língua quente massageando seu grelhinho inchado e sensível fez a mais nova se espernear na cama, alto demais. Estava tão presa nas sensações que seu corpo estava sentindo que não viu quando Louis se aproximou de seu rosto e deu um tapa ardido em sua bochecha, arrancando um gemido surpreso dela.
— Sua vadia escandalosa, tem como calar a boca? Ou eu vou ter que fazer você se engasgar no meu pau até ficar sem voz? – Louis cuspiu irritado em seu rosto, pegando um dos travesseiros que estava no centro da cama e enfiando com tudo na sua cara. — Se você for escandalosa novamente eu te largo aqui do jeito que você está.
— Não Lou p-por favor eu irei me c-comportar – ela gemeu chorosa, temendo que Louis realmente a deixasse daquele jeito.
Louis deixa um beijinho na lateral de suas coxas, murmurando um ‘muito bem’ antes de voltar a esfregar a língua quente e molhada no seu grelhinho, para cima e para baixo, a barba rala raspando na sua entradinha molhada.
Harriet tremeu as pernas em desespero, mordendo um pedaço do travesseiro, obedecendo Louis ao tentar gemer baixinho. Ela não podia fazer mais nada a não gemer contido no travesseiro, as vezes escondendo seu rosto, enquanto levava uma das mãos no cabelo do mais velho, apertando toda vez que o estímulo era muito.
Harriet tentou se conter, tentou mesmo, mas no momento em que Louis abriu mais da sua bucetinha e esfregou a língua molhada freneticamente no nervinho do seu grelhinho, ela não aguentou. Ela soltou o travesseiro e agarrou violentamente com as duas mãos o cabelo do mais velho, seu gemido surpreendentemente baixo mas ainda sim esganiçado, enquanto ela abria mais as pernas e se contorcia com o orgasmo avassalador que estava sentindo.
E mesmo assim Louis não parou de esfregar sua grutinha sensível, indo mais rápido com a língua, levando dois dedos para o buraquinho sensível, sentindo mais do melzinho escorrer direto nos seus dedos, sua barba rala toda molhada de gozo.
Ele só parou quando levantou o olhar para o rostinho rubro e viu a mais nova se tremendo inteira, seus peitinhos tremelicando junto com o corpo, a boca totalmente aberta enquanto o queixo estava todo babado de saliva. Os olhos verdes estavam sendo revirados para trás. E Louis não deixou de pensar em como ela ficaria quando levasse todo o seu pau.
Ficando entre as pernas moles dela, ele puxou o cabelo que estava grudado no rosto suado da garota para trás, vendo o momento em que ela começou a chorar devido aos estímulos intensos que sentiu. Louis não resistiu ao esfregar seu comprimento na xotinha gorda, ficando satisfeito ao ver a garota soltar mais lágrimas ao tentar se esquivar da sua cabecinha esfregando no clítoris inchado dela.
Louis voltou sua atenção ao rosto angelical, vendo os olhos verdinhos brilhantes encarando fixamente os seus olhos azuis. Ele apoiou um dos antebraços do lado de seu rosto, dando selinhos no seus olhos molhados e lábios conforme colocava uma das pernas apoiadas na beira da cama, a outra continuando plantada no chão.
Ele a incentivou a abrir um pouco mais as pernas, em seguida segurou na base do seu pau, direcionando a cabecinha na entradinha. Harriet gemeu baixinho quando sentiu a cabecinha tentar a alargar, a dor dilacerante fazendo ela recuar o quadril pra trás, desfazendo o contato. Ela olhou para baixo, se assustando ao ver a glande manchada com um pouquinho de sangue, e sem pensar tentou fechar as pernas, sabendo que foi um grande erro quando sentiu os dedos grandes apertarem suas bochechas rudemente.
— Eu mandei você se afastar? – Louis proferiu rouco, as sobrancelhas franzidas em irritação.
— Doeu m-muito, eu prom- — Ela não foi capaz de terminar, no momento seguinte ela sentiu o tapa ardido em sua bochecha, gemendo baixinho com a ardência.
— Você anda me prometendo muitas coisas, Harriet. – ele sussurrou rente ao seus lábios, apertando a bochecha recentemente atinga. — E não está sendo capaz de cumpri-las, de tão inútil que você é.
Harriet se encolheu ao ouvir as palavras proferidas, se surpreendendo ao que sua xotinha se molhou ainda mais ao ser humilhada daquele jeito e o mais velho percebeu isso, dando um sorriso ladino que a fez soltar um gemidinho.
— E-eu juro que serei b-boa dessa vez, s-senhor. – ela proferiu em um sussurro, esfregando os peitinhos no peitoral suado, tentando o amansar ao ver que ele continuava irritado.
— Senhor, hum? – ele deixou um beijo no seu queixo antes de fechar os dedos na sua garganta, a pegada fazendo a mais nova revirar os olhos e agarrar o pulso tatuado a sua frente. — Então você será boa para mim? Vai deixar o seu senhor foder a sua bucetinha?
— Sim senhor, eu i-irei.
Após a afirmação, ele ajeitou sua posição entre as pernas dela novamente, esfregando seu pau entre os lábios molhadinhos de sua bucetinha.
— Só vai de-devagarzinho Lou, por favor. – harriet pediu enquanto olhava fixamente no rosto másculo, que estava com os olhos direcionados para o que fazia mais abaixo.
— Eu prometo, Doce.
Depois de posicionar a cabecinha rente ao buraquinho, ele apoiou uma das mãos atrás da coxa dela incentivando-a a se abrir um pouco mais, enquanto com o outro ele apoiou o antebraço no colchão, passando a mão por baixo da sua cabeça, fechando os dedos nos cabelos macios e firmando a pegada ali.
Louis deixou um selinho nos lábios carnudinhos dela, olhando fixamente nos olhinhos verdes enquanto empurrava o quadril lentamente, avistando quando ela abriu a boca e soltou um ofego engasgado, estirando a cabeça para trás deixando seu pescoço a mostra aonde Louis deixou mordidinhas conforme empurrava para frente.
Ele sentiu quando a bucetinha fez pressão no seu pau, tentando o expulsar para fora. Ele tentou entrar novamente, mas harriet fechava as pernas em dor, impossibilitando o comprimento de continuar o caminho para dentro.
— Porra, princesa. Abre mais as pernas para eu conseguir entrar. – Louis grunhiu abafado, sentindo a pressão forte ao redor da cabecinha do seu pau. Ele abriu as pernas dela rudemente, abaixando seu tronco para baixo a impedindo de fechar as pernas. — Se você fechar as pernas vai doer mais.
Após abrir as pernas e conseguir mais acesso para se movimentar livremente, Louis voltou a tentar empurrar mais do seu comprimento para dentro, começando a estocar lentamente somente a cabecinha para frente e para trás, acariciando seu grelhinho inchado com o polegar facilitando a entrada do seu cacete mais para dentro.
Quanto mais Louis acariciava o clítoris sensível, mais molhada a entrada ficava, facilitando os movimentos. Sem excitar ele empurrou completamente tudo para dentro, o calor envolvendo-o como uma luva de veludo, as bolas inchadas pressionaram o cuzinho molhado.
A mais nova gemeu baixinho, não sabendo reagir diante de tanta estimulação em seu corpo, sentindo quando o aperto em seu cabelo ficou mais forte, ela agarrou o braço musculoso que estava do lado do seu rosto quando sentiu o cacete a alargar de uma vez.
Louis não conseguiu evitar o rosnado na garganta, a buceta o apertando fortemente. Ele continua a massagear o clítoris totalmente inchadinho, movendo-se lentamente para dentro para ajudá-la a se ajustar.
— Tá gostoso? – ele perguntou ofegante, seus quadris aumentando a velocidade conforme via a garota acenando com a cabeça freneticamente. Rindo baixinho quando ele percebeu ela arreganhar as pernas, dando ainda mais espaço para as estocadas.
Louis firmou o pé no chão enquanto apoiou o joelho direito com mais precisão na beira da cama o dando apoio quando voltou a estocar com força porém lento na entradinha judiada, a posição nova fazendo ele acertar o pontinho intocado dentro dela, vendo o momento em que ela abriu a boca em um ‘O’ perfeito, gozando fortemente em seu pau.
— Você é tão sensível, gatinha. Mal comecei a te comer e você já tá gozando? – ele zombou, olhando para baixo apenas para ver seu pau brilhando do gozo que jorrava do buraquinho, antes de voltar a olhar para os olhos verdes que estava transbordando em lágrimas.
— M-me desculpa Lou, mas é tão g-gostoso que não consigo controlar, eu p-pro–
A garota foi interrompida pois no momento seguinte o maior começou a estocar mais rápido, seu ponto G sendo massageado grosseiramente pela cabeça gorda do cacete grosso. Harriet não conseguindo mais segurar os gemidos, soltando ruídos entrecortados por conta das estocadas, ela mesma levou as mãos até os lábios, tampando-os para abafar os gemidinhos quando sentiu sua bucetinha queimar e jorrar mais melzinho direto no cacete.
Mas chegou uma hora em que só suas mãos não estavam sendo o suficiente, ela se assustou quando ele se retirou rapidamente do seu interior e a virou grosseiramente de bruços. Os seus peitinhos pressionados no lençol, gemendo ao sentir o agarre das mãos grandes empinar sua bunda para cima e abrir mais suas pernas.
Harriet sentiu o cacete grosso entrar com tudo na sua grutinha encharcada novamente, sentindo a textura macia do pau dentro de si, tudo mais intenso devido sua bunda estar mais empinada. Ela sentiu ele começar a meter com força, a cabecinha rapidamente achando seu pontinho novamente e o massageando, sua bucetinha pulsou loucamente a fazendo bater os pés com força na cama tentando se desvincular do toque.
Mas o maior a prensou com força na cama, estocando até o fundo, provocando seu ponto G enquanto rebolava o quadril. Harriet revirou os olhos pela pressão em sua xoxotinha, ela soltaria um grito que acordaria a casa inteira se Louis não tivesse sido mais rápido, levando as duas mãos em direção a sua cabeça e pressionando duramente seu rosto no colchão.
Os gritinhos abafados deixaram o mais velho louco, que colocou ainda mais força e velocidade nos movimentos, arregaçando sua bucetinha.
— Eu não quero escutar a sua voz, entendeu? Eu quero escutar somente os seus gemidinhos enquanto eu usufruo dessa buceta. – Louis falou rouco. Ela virou o rosto a tempo de ver ele apoiar a outra perna que estava no chão junto com a outra na beira da cama, colocando os joelhos por fora das suas pernas trêmulas a impossibilitando de se abrir ou se esquivar.
Louis abaixou o tronco e se aproximou de seu rosto, ela gemeu dengosa a partir do momento em que sentiu o abdômen forte encostar em suas costas suadas, o mais velho afastando os cabelos grudados de seu rosto antes de beijar sua bochecha molhada pelas lágrimas.
— Que bucetinha gostosa amor, só eu posso comer ela assim, não é? – ele indagou, vendo a mais nova proferir vários ‘sim’ enquanto tinha o corpo sendo impulsionado para cima. — Óbvio que sim porque você é minha putinha, só minha.
Ela soltou vários gemidinhos finos, tentando abafá-los no colchão. Os seus peitinhos sendo friccionados na colcha da cama conforme seu corpo impulsionava para cima, sentiu Louis passar as mãos por baixo do seu corpo, agarrando os seus peitinhos e os apertando enquanto pegava impulso para meter com mais precisão, usando o agarre para trazer seu corpo em direção as estocadas.
Mas o momento foi quebrado ao escutar batidas na porta, Louis sabia que ela estava gozando novamente, então retirou as mãos dos seus peitinhos e rapidamente levou a mão até sua boca, tampando o gemido esganiçado que ela soltou conforme gozava forte enquanto escutava a voz de Caleb do outro lado da porta.
— Louis? Ta acordado?
Harriet enrijeceu embaixo de si, a névoa do orgasmo passando, ela virou a cabeça e ergueu os olhos medrosos em direção aos olhos azuis que já a fitava. A bucetinha apertando o pau fortemente em tensão, com medo de ser descoberta.
— Estou sim Caleb, aconteceu algo?
— Não cara, eu fui descer para beber água e acabei escutando uns barulhos, vim conferir se tava tudo bem.
— Eu estava vendo vídeo no meu celular, acho que me empolguei no volume, foi mal. – ele respondeu alto, voltando a estocar o quadril na bucetinha quente da garota, sentindo o gemidinho abafado que ela deu. Os olhos azuis revirando pelos estímulos que o buraquinho tenso fazia no seu pau.
— Beleza, se precisar de qualquer coisa é só me chamar. – Caleb falou por último, antes de se afastar da porta.
Ao escutar os passos se distanciando, Louis se afastou do corpinho tremulo, puxando seu pau vermelho do interior quente e retirando as pernas que estava em volta das pernas dela, alisando a bunda macia enquanto olhava a bucetinha judiada e vermelha piscando, manchada com um pouco de sangue. Louis viu o momento em que o corpo fraquejou completamente fraco, ele pegou na cintura dela e a fez deitar de ladinho, a bundinha completamente empinadinha em sua direção.
— Você vai continuar sendo boa para mim? Vai deixar o papai gozar dentro da bucetinha que o pertence? – ele proferiu rouco, levantando a perna esquerda dela para encaixar mais fácil a glande na xoxotinha molhada. Ela gemeu baixinho ao escutar Louis se chamando daquela forma.
— Sim p-papai, pode g-gozar aonde quiser.
Louis gemeu ao adentrar novamente no calor molhado, posicionando uma mão ao lado do rosto corado, os movimentos ainda lento ao sentir seu pau sensível por estar segurando o orgasmo por muito tempo. Ele levou a mão livre até o peitinho que balançava devido aos movimentos, apertando-o com força, ouvindo o gemidinho dengoso que mais nova soltou.
— Segura a perna para mim, huh? – ele pediu baixinho, vendo quando a mão delicada da garota segurou por trás da perna esquerda, a erguendo e pressionando o joelho na lateral de seu busto, ficando abertinha para Louis que voltou a meter o cacete na sua bucetinha.
Ela sentiu dois dos dedos dele esfregarem seu grelhinho furiosamente, causando um barulho molhado. A nova posição fazendo ela gemer alto, sentindo sua grutinha queimar enquanto recebia as estocadas potentes de Louis.
— Papai p-para – harriet com a mão livre tentou afastar a pélvis do mais velho, chorando quando ele agarrou seu pulso e empurrou no colchão, entrelaçando seus dedos. — Lou eu v-vou fazer x-xixi.
Louis deu uma risada com a ingenuidade da garota, provavelmente ela estava sentindo vontade de esguichar e confundia isso com a vontade de fazer xixi. — Tá tão gostoso assim que você quer esguichar, bebê?
A expressão de Harriet se tornou confusa, não compreendendo o que Louis quis dizer, mas não teve muito tempo para pensar nisso quando no momento seguinte ele pôs a mão em cima da sua que estava segurando sua coxa, a fazendo abrir mais a perna enquanto metia diretamente no seu pontinho doce, ele voltou a esfregar rapidamente seu grelhinho agora com os quatro dedos e tudo isso foi demais para ela.
Ela esguichou com força, expulsando o caralho encharcado de Louis para fora e molhando toda a pélvis dele. As lágrimas escorriam aos montes do seu rosto conforme ela se contorcia com os dedos ainda esfregando sua xotinha sensível. Ela estava completamente fraca quando sentiu Louis voltar a enfiar o pau dentro da sua bucetinha, negando com a cabeça freneticamente, soltando ruídos chorosos.
— O papai só vai enfiar um pouquinho para gozar, princesa. Fica quietinha. – ele sussurrou, os olhos brilhando de excitação ao ver as lágrimas molharem a bochecha corada, voltando a meter com força, os movimentos lisos conforme o gozo da garota molhava seu cacete, facilitando no deslizar.
Os gemidinhos dengosos e sensíveis que harriet soltava foi o estopim para Louis. O gemido grosso ecoando pelo quarto quando ele gozou em jatos longos e grossos na xoxotinha quente, seu quadril metendo lentamente no buraquinho que pulsava freneticamente ao redor do seu pau para prolongar a sensação gostosa, vendo o rosto angelical destruído abaixo de sí.
Se retirando com cuidado de dentro dela, ele se sentou nas panturrilhas vendo a xotinha completamente vermelha. O clítoris e os lábios da bucetinha completamente esfoladinhos, o buraquinho usado pulsava compulsivamente e completamente molhado com o gozo branquinho escorrendo do interior. A visão fez Louis apertar o pau com força, vendo o estrago que causou na garota.
Ele estranhou o silêncio e olhou para cima, a garota se encontrava apagada, seu corpo mole depois de tanto esforço. Louis ajeitou o pau nas calças, se levantando e indo até a mesa de cabeceira ao lado da cama, abrindo e pegando um pacote de lenço umedecido, voltando até a garota adormecida. Ele a limpou, colocou a camisola no lugar novamente e a acomodou direito na cama, cobrindo o corpo com um lençol fino.
Após ter ajeitado harriet, ele mesmo se limpou e colocou outra calça moletom, se posicionando ao lado da garota, o colchão afundando levemente sob seus corpos. Ele apagou a luz do abajur, deixando o ambiente iluminado apenas pela luz fraca da lua que entrava pela janela. Louis a puxou delicadamente para mais perto, envolvendo-a em um abraço íntimo.
Louis não demorou a adormecer, os corpos entrelaçados, o calor um do outro mantendo-os próximos durante a noite inteira.
🎀ྀིྀི
Na manhã seguinte, Harriet foi a primeira a acordar. Ela piscou os olhos lentamente, sentindo o sol matinal tocar sua pele. Foi só quando tentou se mover que percebeu que Louis estava com um braço em volta de sua cintura, mantendo-a firmemente junto a ele. Ela olhou para trás, encontrando-o ainda adormecido, a expressão tranquila e serena.
Um sorriso suave surgiu em seus lábios enquanto ela observava o rosto dele, se lembrando também da noite anterior, suas bochechas corando um pouco. Pela primeira vez, ela percebeu que não sentia medo ou dúvida. Algo dentro dela dizia que aquilo não era apenas um momento passageiro. Eles estavam construindo algo, algo real, mesmo que ainda não soubessem exatamente como seria.
Quando Louis começou a se mexer, ainda meio sonolento, ele a apertou mais contra si, murmurando algo inaudível antes de abrir os olhos devagar. Ao perceber que ela estava acordada, um sorriso preguiçoso curvou os lábios dele.
— Bom dia. – ele disse, a voz rouca e grave, tão irresistível quanto o próprio.
— Bom dia. – Harriet respondeu, sentindo o coração bater mais forte.
Louis afastou uma mecha de cabelo do rosto dela, ainda com aquele sorriso tranquilo. — Espero que você saiba, Harriet, que depois disso eu não vou te deixar fugir de mim.
Ela riu baixinho, encostando a testa na dele. — Eu nem quero fugir.
Ele sorriu, a puxando para um selinho suave, e Harriet soube, sem sombra de dúvida, que estava exatamente onde deveria estar.

Was part of the worry and the need to check on her simply due to the fact the bar was crowded? Maybe. Was it a level of worrying that someone was going to come and harass her? Yeah, that did play a factor into it. Hunter wasn't one to examine his feelings too closely. So, he didn't want to bring to light the feeling that he didn't like being too far from her. This was a woman that he had met that evening. She couldn't be allowed to throw his entire world into a tailspin. Yet, there was something there that was so entirely different from everyone and anything else. A sense of connection that he had with only a small handful of other people. An important thing that couldn't be overlooked. Not when it felt bigger than simply this very moment.
Hunter shook his head at the tease, leaning back in his head and placing a hand over his heart, as if she had wounded him with the very notion of it all. To be this free and relaxed, to be able to goof around was not a privilege that everyone had. A fact that she could not have known about and he wasn't about to enlighten her to the fact.
"I bring you here to save you from jumping out a window and this is how you repay me? Insulting my good name and trying to say I'm robbing the cradle. I don't know what I'm going to do. Evening ruined. This is what I get for being nice." There was no way to stop the smile that remained, entirely cutting any risk of the words being taken seriously. A long pull of his beer was taken as a means to soothe the anguish. "Being called old. A man's ego will never recover. I'll just have to give up my job and go into hiding now. Never to be seen again." Barely was he able to restrain the laughter that threatened to ruin the end of the sentence. Though, he did outright laugh as she tried the offended route herself.
"Cocktails and wine are boring," he offered with a playful smile. "We'll get you living life yet. Don't worry. The cheap beer and greasy burgers will create a whole new palate for you." There was something so satisfying about the combination. Maybe because it was a bit of a cheat meal. Maybe because it was simplistic. Maybe because it was just down right good. Whatever it may be, Hunter was more pleased to be enjoying it now compared to ever before and that was down to the company he was keeping.
"Well, certainly a hell of a lot cheaper than therapy for sure." He paused and really thought about the best way that he could explain it. In a way that made sense. That was perhaps the biggest challenge. After a second, he seemed to settle on it. "Was always into sports growing up. Actually played some basketball and baseball, believe it or not. Got into bodybuilding as a teenager and things sort of spiraled from there after a few competitions. Met some wrestlers and decided it was what I wanted to do. Didn't want to do the whole college thing. Guess I got lucky that it worked out. Turns out, I'm pretty damn good at punching people in the face." At least it was an honest answer. He didn't feel the need to try and inflate it for her sake, to try and impress. It felt more organic and natural to give her the real reason. Inherently knowing she would appreciate that more.
Any sort of follow up was cut short by the drunk ass that bumped into the table. Almost instantly, Hunter was wound tighter than a spring, ready to intervene. It was with immense restraint that he initially held himself back, knowing that a fight wouldn't do any good, especially since the guy hadn't done anything just yet. But the creep wasn't taking any cue. Too drunk to realize. Or too much of an asshole to care. Either way, Hunter was not going to let him get away with that behavior. His beer set aside, the gentle touch to his forearm was more than enough needed.
"She isn't interested. Now, I think it would be best if you wandered back over to your friends, don't you?" The tone left little room for arguments, even a daft drunk would be able to pick up on that. He shifted his chair just a hint closer, sizing the guy up. No doubt there would be some false bravado there and he was ready to handle it. Already, he was inching slowly out of his seat, ready to stand. And after a few seconds, he did just that, not afraid to attempt to Intimidate the drunk to get him to scurry off and leave them to their evening.
Tumblr media
@[xoxoitsgia]
That entire situation was peculiar, and everything tying her up to Hunter was even stranger. There was a feeling there, something she didn't recognise that knotted up in her abdomen, making her heart beat fast and her cheeks flush anytime her dreamy eyes fell on the man. And whatever that tie was, it felt like it was getting them closer and closer each second.
Gia had learned very quickly not to miss people, loneliness, absent family and being touch-emotionally starved since she was a child was much easier to deal with when she pretended she didn't need anyone. But, in the brief minute Hunter left the table to go order, she found herself realising she immediately missed his company. Absurd, in itself, and yet, so plain and simple, it was devastating. She wanted to be by his side, and anything else seemed so unimportant.
She was well aware reality would have knocked at their door sooner rather than later, but, for now, she was willing to ignore it. Was it worth remembering she had another identity and responsibilities to go back to when she had never felt alive before she walked into this stranger's car?
"Oh, I am sure you do," she giggled, tapping her index finger on her lower lip, pretending to examine him, studying his features. "I was wondering if you aren't too old for me," a cheeky smile popped on her lips as she openly teased him.
"Sir," Gia followed up, pretending to be utterly offended at his question. She knew he wasn't judging her, but it was just fun to be having fun with him. "I'll have you know I am the classic fine wine girl, or, if the occasion requires it, a cocktail. But, this place doesn't suggest any of that, right? And I must blend in. Plus, god, that sounds so boring said out loud." She giggled, shaking her head. Then, she leaned closer, unafraid and unbothered by the complicity growing between them. "So, tell me, how did you get into wrestling?" She had many more questions, devoured by her need to know everything about him. "Punching people in the face all day beats therapy, I guess." He surely had the look of someone who could, potentially, make you regret crossing him. But, with her, he looked nothing but gentle, and she felt safe around him, more than with any other good-for-nothing bloke she crossed before for sure. "Must be a hell of a life you live," she continued, "For all the good reasons." Freedom, for one.
Then, suddenly breaking their moment, a drunken guy walked into her and lost balance, stumbling on their table. "Oop, fuck, sorry," the hazed attention of the guy fell on Gia first and never moved, as a slimy smile grew on his lips. "Oh, wow, you are a pretty one, uh?" He mumbled, words slurred by too much alcohol, possibly. No attention was paid to Hunter whatsoever. He drew closer, causing her to instantly freeze. Gia tried to move away, but the space on her chair wasn't enough. "What's your name? Wanna come have fun with my friends?" His gaze fell oll over her, making her feel extremely uncomfortable. Gia reached over the table, grabbing at Hunter's forearm, both a plea and to feel the reassurance that he was close. "No, thank you," she expressed politely, knowing the guy's attention wasn't about to dissipate that easily.

Tumblr media
At first, James thought it was jealousy. When he saw you kiss Lily goodbye at the portrait hole, he felt it for the first time. He couldn’t really tell who he felt it for, though. But then he felt it again, this time when he found Remus and Sirius cuddling in their shared dorm, and he’d chalked it up to being jealous that his friends were in happy relationships whilst he was alone. 
He tried flirting with other people, thinking a relationship of his own would cure these feelings. In his endeavors, James found that flirting was something he’s actually quite good at. But when he was on the receiving end of flirtatious remarks, he noticed his stomach never flipped the way it did for his friends, and all they had to do was say ‘hello’ to make it happen. He even tried to go on a date, but he found himself itching to be back at Gryffindor Tower where you lot were hanging out. 
So, James decided to face the facts. He has a crush… or four, he supposes. But it’s not like romance between him and his friends is unheard of. Other students around Hogwarts used to poke fun at you all for the inter friend group dating, accusing you of things like passing each other around for the fun of it. 
Someone once told Sirius he couldn’t escape the incestuous nature of his family, and that’s when the boys started hexing anyone who made any sort of joke on the topic. Soon enough, people learned to keep their mouths shut. 
But it wasn’t what other students made it seem. You all may have been perceived as a lascivious bunch who couldn’t keep your hands off of each other, but there were deep emotions between some of you that surpassed mere physical attraction. 
James probably had one of the most tame histories, save for Peter, who managed to find a girlfriend outside of the group. In James’ past, there was casual fling with Lily, which both parties wanted to be more, yet neither ever had the courage to say it. The relationship ended when they both inwardly thought they’d be better off letting go than silently yearning for more. Aside from that, James had managed to kiss each of you some way or another, whether it be via drinking games or experimental fun.
As for the rest of you, let’s just say you all did a bit more than kiss some of the other members in your group before you all coupled off. 
You, for example, have dabbled in romance with both Sirius and Remus at different points in time. There was a frenzied night with Remus that had you both longing for more, yet never acting on it. And there was a time where everyone thought you and Sirius would end up together. The tension between you two was once so palpable it pervaded your every interaction and shrouded your awareness of anything but each other. It fizzled after a while of neither of you ever making a real move, but sometimes you both feel it creep back into your conversations like an addiction you couldn’t shake. 
Lily and Remus also had a history. They were together for a while, a saccharine relationship that made those around them equally jealous as they were nauseous. Eventually, they broke it off because they couldn’t help but feel like something was missing. They theorized that they must be better off as friends, but what could’ve been still seems to loom over them. 
And James doesn’t know this, if he found out now he might disintegrate on the spot, but everyone’s fancied him at some point. But there’s something about Potters and their tendency to be oblivious. Everyone’s tried to get out of James’ friend zone and it went quite unnoticed. Lily was the only one who’s ever succeeded, and yet, they let each other become their ones that got away. 
It might be a good thing that James never knew about his friends’ crushes. He probably would’ve turned most of you down, depending on the timing. And that would’ve haunted him now. He already has to deal with the pining and the nerves and the misery of it all. Regret added to that mix would send him over the edge. 
After all, the minute you all walk into the common room his heart is already racing with nerves. 
First came Remus and Sirius, Remus having his arm slung across Sirius’ shoulders. Sirius’ walk is an odd looking shuffle due to the way he presses himself into his boyfriend’s side. 
There’s the pining. James wishes he could be sandwiched between them. He imagines shuffling along, like Sirius, and watching the pace of their footsteps sync up. 
Next, James sees Lily. Beaming, as always. She has a firm grip on your hand as she tows you in after her. You two are giggling about something and James swears he’s never heard anything more beautiful than the way your laughters intertwine. He’d give anything to be included in whatever you two were so charmed by. 
“Hey, Prongs,” Remus greets as they sit on the sofa next to him. Remus’ knees knock against James’. James doesn’t want to think about how much it affects him. 
“Hi Jamie,” you say in a sing song voice, passing in front of him as Lily leads you to sit on the armchair with her. The two of you might as well be on top of each other when you get situated, your legs twisted together.
James shifts in his seat, “Hi,” he rasps, then clears his throat, “Hi guys.” 
“What are you up to?” Lily bats her beautiful, long eyelashes at James.
James picks up a book Peter left on the end table next to him, “Studying,” he lies. What he was really doing was thinking about all of you. He couldn’t exactly disclose that, now could he? 
Lily’s eyes dart down to the cover of the book, “Advanced History of Magic?”
“I thought you dropped that after OWLs?” You wonder aloud. 
James presses his lips into a line while he tries to think of what to say, “Yeah, I, er- I’m not studying for class. I’m studying for pleasure. History is a very important subject.” James internally groans. He curses Peter in his mind for not leaving a better book behind. 
The couples around him seem to share skeptical glances that make James want to walk into the Black Lake, lie down, and drown there. 
James' next words tumble out like a torrent, “It’s actually Peter’s. He was telling me something interesting from his class. Wanted to read up on it myself. Anyway, I should go return this to him. Cheers, guys.”
Before anyone can say anything, James is already speeding off with the book. 
Oh, the misery. James hates how awkward things have become. He’s not usually an awkward person, but being around all four people he’s crushing on is overwhelming, even for him. 
Somewhere in Hogwarts’ halls, James leans against one of the cold stone walls and hugs Peter’s book to his chest. 
What is wrong with me, he thinks. And then he gets a tad arrogant, I’m James Potter! I can handle anything. Even having a thing for my best friends. 
James decides right then and there that he doesn’t want to feel like such a mess anymore. It’s time for a different approach. 
The next time he sees one of you, he thinks to himself, you know how to be confident, James, you’ve done it before. And so he puts on his best act. 
But for some reason, acting confident translated into constantly flirting with all of his friends. He really had no intention of doing that, it’s not like he actually wanted to get with any of you. He’d never want to try to interfere in your relationships. But for some reason, as his words tumbled out with amorous undertones and romantic implications, the negative emotions tumbled away too. So he kind of just kept doing it. 
From then on, your interactions with James have gone much more smoothly. Admittedly, they were also much more intoxicating. 
One day after Quidditch practice, James finds you and Lily wrapped up in each other’s arms on the sofa. Your arms are around Lily’s waist as you both watch the crackle of the fireplace before you. The sofa’s back cushions lay strewn across the floor to accommodate the space the two of you take up. 
With a grin fitting his face, James approaches the sofa. 
“Hey,” he calls on his approach. The two of you shift onto your backs to look in the direction of James’ voice behind you. When he arrives, he leans his forearms on the back of the sofa, one folded over the other, and hovers above you two, “Lily, Y/N.” He greets. 
“Hi James,” Lily says on behalf of you both. 
James eyes leisurely drift along the length of the couch and back up again, “Don’t you two look cozy.”
“Sure are,” Lily grins lazily, “If there were any more room on here we’d invite you to join,” your girlfriend jokes. 
“That’s alright, doll,” James says with a lopsided smile. He then leans in closer to you, and you notice the sparkling reflection of the firelight in his eyes. He lowers his voice to a whisper as if he’s telling you a secret, “Next time.” His voice comes out like silk and his eye contact is unwavering. You find it too intoxicating to even blink.
Your lips part slightly, and you can hear Lily’s breath get caught in her throat. It was just two words, it really shouldn’t have affected you two so much. Maybe it’s the way he said them… or maybe it’s just James. James, whose tousled hair is sticking to his forehead still from a strenuous practice and whose lips are only centimeters away. 
A moment of silence passes between you three before James straightens out his spine, standing with his hands resting where his forearms previously were. 
His fingers pitter patter against the sofa back, “I’m off to shower…” James says, “Save me a seat at dinner?”
Without waiting for a reply, James walks towards the boys dormitories. You both watch James disappear up the stairs. When you look at Lily, you find her face flushed. You wiggle your eyebrows and she slaps you on the arm, knowing exactly what you’re thinking. Her hand lingers, then trails down to fit into yours. She discovers a sweaty palm, and now she’s the one raising her eyebrows. 
Tumblr media
A few days later, Remus and Sirius find themselves in a similar situation. 
The three Marauders found themselves running for their lives from Filch after attempting to pull a prank without their fourth, who had to bail last minute. They had to rethink the plan on the spot without the extra set of hands, and found themselves nearly getting caught. 
Luckily, Remus knew this area of the castle intimately from his prefects rounds, and found them a room to hide in. 
The boys tumble inside. Sirius and James find themselves with their backs to the nearest wall, both heaving to catch their breaths. Remus locks the door behind them, and releases a shocked laugh as he backs into the room. 
“Quick thinking, Rem. I wonder what other tricks you have up your sleeve.” James says, his tone suggestive. 
“Oi!” Sirius exclaims while Remus flushes. Sirius looks a bit amused, but still feels a bit territorial too. 
James swivels to face Sirius, his body not coming out of contact with the wall. He leans his forearm on the stones above Sirius’ head. Being a bit shorter, Sirius has to look up at James as he leans in ever so slightly, “Don’t worry, Sirius. I find your secrets just as intriguing.” 
Territorial feelings cured. Sirius tries to place the feelings that replaced them and… oh. His head snaps towards his boyfriend, who looks downright besotted with the display in front of him. 
James maintains eye contact and a confident smirk as lets his arm slide down the wall until his palm is flat against it, level with Sirius’ head. He gives the wall a gently pat, then abruptly turns away. 
He takes a single step towards Remus, “I have a sneaking suspicion Filch is still lurking in the area. I’ve got the cloak, so I’m off to be your knight in shining armor and cause a distraction.” James winks, and then he’s out the door. 
The pair of boys that were left behind watch the door thoughtfully for a few moments. 
Sirius’ tongue darts out to moisten his lips as he prepares himself to make a bold suggestion. 
“Hey Moony?” he asks. 
“Yeah?” Remus responds breathlessly. 
“Hear me out about something…” Sirius trails off, still looking in the direction James left in. 
Tumblr media
A week later, you and Lily enter the common room in search of your messy-haired friend. He spots you two before either of you find him. 
“If it isn’t my favorite girls,” James waves you both over to where he is seated, which is a small table by the window. Remus and Sirius, who look a bit peeved to have James’ attention drawn away from them, are sitting across from him. 
“What brings you here?” James asks when you arrive at his side, “It’s date night, if I’m not mistaken, isn’t it?” 
You share a look with Lily, “Yes, actually, we’re just about to head off to Hogsmeade.” 
Lily rests a hand on James’ shoulder, “But we were thinking… we’d love it if you’d join us.” 
While the confusion on James’ face starts to soften into understanding, Sirius chokes on his own spit. His voice is strained as he holds back from coughing, “James is busy.”
Your eyes dart to Sirius, “Is he?” then back to James. “Couldn’t you make some time?” You bat your eyes at him. 
Sirius looks horrified, “We have some— Marauders only!— business to attend to. James was just about to accept our invitation, isn’t that right, Prongs?”
“Uhh, I-” James sputters, wildly taken aback by what’s happening. What is happening? 
“Well why don’t you two just invite Peter,” you suggest callously as Lily’s grip on James’ shoulder turns possessive. 
“This isn’t the kind of business we want to invite Peter to. We want James.” Sirius’ eyes narrow. 
You furrow your brows at Sirius’ words and it takes a moment for the meaning of them to sink in. Your features harden as Sirius and Remus suddenly go from friends to competitors. 
“Well I guess you’re out of luck, then.” You say, squinting down at Sirius, “I think James is going to want to come with us.”
Sirius didn’t much like the way you looked down on him, so he brought himself up to his feet where he could tower over you. 
“It’s cute that you think so, but we’re closer to James than anyone. James is our best friend.”
“And I think it’ll be staying that way.” 
“I beg to differ.” Sirius counters, his tone laced with arrogance. 
James’ jaw goes slack at the implication.
“If you're going to beg I prefer that you get on your knees first.” Your voice is dripping with mockery, challenge, and something else that takes everyone a moment to decipher. 
It’s something familiar, a certain tension that’s proving once again to have never fully gone away. It flashes in Sirius’ eyes too, his fiery gaze wavering to give way for a fervent expression. 
The sudden shift in tone sent an electric shock through the three onlookers, James’ jaw dropping impossibly lower.
“Trust me, doll. Where I’m involved, I’m not the one who’s gonna be begging on their knees.” 
Remus somehow looks like he’s enjoying this, which should be unusual for a guy watching his boyfriend flirt with someone else. He’s leaned back in his seat, a hint of a smile dancing on his lips, as his eyes dart between each of his friends. 
“What’s happening,” James chokes out, the nerves he expelled weeks ago suddenly bubbling back up again. 
No one answers James. Remus is having too much fun and you are too busy staring down Sirius. Lily joins you, inching closer to both you and him as she leans over your shoulder, her body pressing into your back. 
“Oh, he’s lying, don’t you think?” She says, her voice velvety smooth. 
“Certainly so. I have it on good authority that he’s the type to want to be in charge,” you jut your chin toward Remus, whose gaze you meet while memories of each other swirl around in your minds, bringing matching twinkles to your eyes. 
“Can-? Can I interject?” James takes a shot at cutting through the tension, his voice cracking.  
“Of course, Jamie,” you turn your head from Sirius to look at him but a soft hand pinching your chin gently turns you right back. 
“Eyes on me, dollface, I’m not done with you,” Sirius says firmly, as if proving how commanding he can be. 
A choked noise emits from James’ throat and it’s not clear if it’s in protest of being cast aside again or a direct reaction to the way Sirius is handling you. 
Remus inches his hand towards James’, bumping his pinky into his. “Sit tight, I want to see where this goes,” he tells him. 
“See? So effortlessly commanding,” you vocalize to Lily, a hungry look in your eyes as they flick to Remus. 
Sirius’ possessive nature flares up. “This has been real cute, but you can you can back off of them now,” Sirius say, referring to both his boyfriend and James. 
Your eyes dart back to Sirius and that hungry sort of look doesn’t falter, “Want me to focus on you, do you? Ddon’t worry, baby, I can multitask.”
“Let's cut to the chase, are you two about to fight or kiss?” James defies Remus’ command to sit tight, suddenly speaking boldly, regaining his confidence from either sheer will or impatience, “Either is fine, I suppose, as long as you continue to let me watch.”
“I second that,” Remus agrees at once. 
“Third,” Lily chimes in, “though I’d prefer to see the ladder.” 
As James words sink in, it brings you back down to reality, that familiar veil of tension that shrouds your better judgment lifting. 
Worry filters in first, your actions suddenly feeling inappropriate. That they were, but you’re less worried about the nature of your actions and more so the fact that you behaved in such away with someone else right in front of your girlfriend. When you look at her, you’re met with a sly countenance that reminds you she was an active participant. 
You’re not the only one having inner turmoil after the racy display, a silence that’s tense for different reasons washing over you all. Everyone seems to be contemplating the implications of what just happened and how you all so fondly reacted to it. 
Lily is the one to cut through the silence first. 
“You know… I wouldn’t mind if all three of you joined us,” Lily tucks a strand of hair behind your ear as she asks “Do you, Lovie?”
“No, I wouldn’t mind at all,” your words coming out like a plea when you respond. 
Remus carefully stands from his seat, approaching Sirius with revere and settling his arm across his shoulder. His free hand extends to you, which you take without hesitation. His tender touch sends shivers up your spine. 
Your four sets of eyes drift to James, who’s still in his seat trying to process what’s going on. When it sinks that this is real life, he looks back at you all like you’re a newfound treasure. 
It’s instant, the way the feelings that never went away metamorphosize into something beautiful and new. And it’s an adjustment, for sure, but you all lean into it with surprising ease. 
The rumors fly, of course, when your peers start to take notice of the way things have changed. No amount of previous hexing scares them away from jumping to their conclusions and spreading their rumors. This time around, you’re all too enamored with each other to care much about what people say, but you do find it pitiful that they could never understand. But some witnesses to the loving little touches and soft remarks between each of you and all of you find that it makes sense now—all of you were destined from the start. 
For you have always been drawn to each other. It’s why you constantly gravitated from one to the next, the pull from those you left behind never really going away. 
It feels like a dream the way you all settle back into place with each other. James looks at you all in disbelief everyday. He couldn't have imagined a more perfect solution to his previously helpless pining.
You're quite pleased as well, the longing for what you never had with each of your boys finally resolved.
And Lily and Remus share a look some days, eyes twinkling, finding comfort in knowing now what their missing piece was. Or rather, pieces. 
“Well, I think I can pinpoint now why all of our relationships kept not working out,” Lily tells him once, in the very beginning. You’re all strolling around outdoors, basking in the sun, still shyly navigating through the newness of it all. 
The knuckles of your left hand fondly brush against those on James’ right. Lily walks alongside you, Remus on the end next to her. And Sirius has fallen behind purposefully, admiring the way the four of you look together. 
“Why’s that, Dove?” Remus asks. 
“Greed,” Sirius interjects, an impish grin dances on his lips as he jogs up to join you all again. He squeezes between you and Lily, slinging his arms around you both.
Sirius nuzzles his nose into the side of your face, “But who’s to say we can’t have it all?”

How About Those Humans?
Humans, also known as human beings or people (Homo sapiens) are a species of primate found around the world. Originally from eastern Africa, the species has spread to every continent due to their remarkable adaptability to a wide variety of climates and habitats.
The primary advantage for humans comes from their complex social groups. These groups are created, and reinforced, primarily through the use of spoken and written word. Humans are the only animal known to use symbols in communication. In every part of their range, H. sapiens will form communities with other individuals- these communities are often but not always based on familial kinship; bonds can also be formed based on age, proximity, and membership to other social organizations like religion or sports. Humans have also been known to form mutualistic relationships with other such as dogs, cats, ungulates, birds, and some snakes and lizards.
People are known as one of the few species to use tools, and they do so in a highly complex manor. By use of tools, humans have been able to modify their surroundings via agriculture, architecture, and clothing; this has allowed them to expand their range well beyond the limits that their thermal tolerance and high water needs would allow. In addition, people have used their ability to manipulate tools to enhance their social relationships through the creation of ritual, music, art, craft, and sport, as well as enhancing the scale and violence of inter-group conflicts.
The appearance of humans can vary widely depending on their genetics, distribution, nutritional status, and socio-cultural group. Unlike other primates, H. sapiens are primarily bipedal, walking on their hind legs and leaving their hands free for manipulating tools. The body hair of humans is quite fine, and the skin underneath can range widely from black to white, largely as an adaptation to UV radiation. However, the hair on the top of the head can be fairly thick, and likewise varies in color and texture; it is common in many social groups to arrange and decorate the hair for aesthetic value or social status. Males and females are fairly similar in physique; males average 171 cm (5 ft 7 in) in height and 77 kg (170 lb) in weight, while females average (5 ft 3 in) and 59 kg (130 lb) respectively. Females also have more pronounced mammary glands than males.
People are omnivorous, capable of consuming many different plants and animals collected by a combination of agriculture and hunting and gathering. Depending on their region, the diet of humans may consist of different combinations of ruminants, pig, horse, dog poultry, fish, insects, milk, eggs, leafy greens, roots, fruits, berries, nuts, honey, and tree bark. Humans have no natural predators, although there are some large carnivores such as polar bears and tigers that may opportunistically hunt them.
Like other primates, humans are capable of breeding through out the year. People may form monogamous or polyandrous pairings based on socio-cultural group and individual selection. Pairings are most often heterosexual, but homosexuality is not uncommon and there is a great variety in both gender and sexual orientation, the display of which is dictated by an individual's socio-cultural group. In many cultures, courtship is initiated by the male; he may attempt to woo the female through gifts and elaborate mating displays of dance and sport. The input of immediate kin and important members of a social group can also have strong influence over the process. Selection of a suitable mate usually takes time, and a pair may court for several years before rejection. Following mating, the female carries her pregnancy for 9 months before giving birth, usually to one baby but in rare cases as many as nine.
Infants are completely dependent on external care; this is usually provided by one or both of the parents, and often extends to the entire familial or social group. Babies are typically weaned around their first birthday, at which time their diet transitions completely to solid foods. From an early age, young are incorporated into the social group via ritual, play, and teaching of skills which may come from elders in the social group or designated individuals. Though biologically H. sapiens may reach maturity as young as 13, young are typically not considered adults in their social group until the age of 18. Lifespan may vary widely based on genetic and nutritional factors, but humans are frequently known to live to be over 100.
Conservation status: Due to their wide range and large population, humans are considered stable. They have not been evaluated by the IUCN.
Happy April Fools everyone!

𝐃𝐚𝐞𝐦𝐲𝐫𝐚 𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭'𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞
⤷ platonic, gender neutral, ambiguous race, and any size reader. Requests are open, thank you for reading!
a/n: thank you for the request anon!
ᴹᵃˢᵗᵉʳˡᶤˢᵗ | ᴹᵃˢᵗᵉʳˡᶤˢᵗ ᴵᴵ
𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘: Interally, Viserys was very stunned that he was able to have five children with Alicent. Five new Targaryens to add to the family legacy. He was happy about that. But uneasy about how the relationship dynamics would work.
In an (awkward) attempt, Viserys gave his youngest to Daemon and Rhaenyra to raise. As a way for the two sides of his family to connect.
Doing this was both a hopeful gesture and a desperate gamble. He couldn't deny the tension that had long simmered between Alicent's children and Rhaenyra's. By entrusting his youngest—a vulnerable, unifying piece of his legacy—to Daemon and Rhaenyra, he hoped to bridge the rift before it grew insurmountable.
Tumblr media
・You can expect the reaction Alicent had when Viserys told her what was going to happy.
・Even though she did not mind giving the child to someone else to raise, Daemon and Rhaenyra were not on her list.
・But she was able to calm herself.
・Rhaenyra and Daemon would ultimately ruin her - showing that Alicent wasn't a bad mother afterall!
・You had been given a dragon egg when you arrived on Dragonstone, it was warm, a swirling oval of pink, blue and purple. Golden accents hinting in the sunlight.
・You were so excited, you were obsessed with dragons, with your House and how everything came to be.
・You LOVED the conquorers Rhaenys & Visenya; and you believed they loved one another too.
・Despite his earlier dispute and nonchalance towards the idea, Daemon takes his role as surrogate father very seriously. Moreso than anyone expected him to.
・Rhaenyra was torn. Torn because this child belonged to her once best friend who had snubbed her for years and now her father wants her to look after it.
・Soon though, she found herself softening toward you.
・He frequently calls you "little dragon" and takes you on dragon rides before you're old enough to handle a dragon on your own.
