Superman & Lois Episode 3 Review: The Perks of Not Being a Wallflower

https://ift.tt/3rzwEKz

This Superman & Lois review contains spoilers.

Superman and Lois Episode 3

“Morrissey’s a xenophobic has-been.”

This one line, delivered with deadpan perfection by Alex Garfin’s Jordan Kent pretty much sums up why Superman & Lois episode 3 is so good. Wait, really? Yes, stay with me for a minute…

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

I loved the first two episodes of Superman & Lois. There’s no question about that. But there was a very slight nagging feeling in the back of my mind, that maybe this show was going to be a little too serious for its own good. That maybe in the process of making Jonathan and Jordan Kent as believable as possible, and as “relatable” (god, I hate that word) to young audiences as they needed to be, that the show would end up trying just a little too hard, get a little more wrapped up in its “family drama, but with Superman” high concept than it strictly needed to, and maybe forget to lighten up every now and then. I could excuse it in those first two episodes, which play like one feature length pilot when watched together, and which had a lot of work to do to get us to buy this very different take on the Man of Steel, but I wasn’t sure if the tone would sustain over a longer stretch of episodes.

And then along comes “The Perks of Not Being a Wallflower” to put those fears at ease. To be absolutely clear, this is absolutely not a drastic change in tone from what has come before. But now that we’ve gotten to know the Kents and their neighbors and classmates, and that the Smallville setting feels very much like the natural setting of the show, there’s a little more fun to be had. No, this isn’t suddenly The Flash and STAR Labs with a team of folks cracking wise at every opportunity, and it’s certainly not my beloved Legends of Tomorrow, but the humor is here, it’s subtle, and it works at every opportunity.

The opening scene with the family trying to paint the old Kent home is a charmer, a moment broken by Clark hearing a bridge collapsing in China which he speeds off to save. It’s another near-cinematic action sequence for this show, but the special effects aren’t really what sell this scene, it’s the moment of terror to relief to pure joy of a single fisherman as he realizes he’s witnessing Superman hold up a bridge…and Superman’s wordless interaction with him is equally joyful. This is something that simply hasn’t been done in live action interpretations of Superman since the Christopher Reeve years, and I honestly rank those few seconds with Supes and the fisherman as one of the best screen moments in the character’s history.

This episode is full of moments like that, even though Tyler Hoechlin once again spends most of his screentime as Clark rather than Superman. But even there, this is certainly Hoechlin’s finest performance as the character so far, bouncing effortlessly between Man of Steel to “Clark the superpowered dad dealing with problems new even to him” to “Clark who has to act like there’s nothing special about him.”

I worry slightly that Elizabeth Tulloch’s Lois Lane still doesn’t quite have enough to do as they build her Morgan Edge investigation through the Smallville Gazette. In every other aspect, moving the family to Smallville has worked, particular in regards to exploring completely new facets of the Clark/Superman dynamic, but Lois so far feels a little out of place. On the other hand, I should probably be thankful that they aren’t trying to “do a journalism” the way it’s so often been portrayed on Supergirl or The Flash, and maybe the slow burn is the more prudent move here. Anyway, it doesn’t change the fact that Tulloch is a delight in every scene, and she is quickly becoming the definitive screen Lois for me.

But the real highlights for this episode come in the form of Jonathan and Jordan, the two characters I was most skeptical about going into this show. I’ll confess, despite some terrific comics by the likes of Peter Tomasi, Patrick Gleason, Dan Jurgens, Brian Michael Bendis, Ivan Reis, and others in recent years, I’ve never been the biggest fan of the “Superman as dad” concept. I tend to like my Superman stories a little more unencumbered (or some might say traditional, but whatever). But Jordan Elsass’ Jonathan and Alex Garfin’s Jordan are just so darn likeable, and the story being written for them so compelling, that I can’t really complain.

The idea that Jordan would try out for the football team despite his burgeoning powers seems a ridiculous one, and I honestly thought that sequence was going to be revealed as a daydream (similar to Clark’s in the first episode of Smallville). But it’s real, and it doesn’t go quite where I thought it would. Jordan excels at football…as it turns out, he’s a bit more powered up than Jor-El suspected last episode. You’d naturally expect this to lead to friction with Jonathan, who has yet to get the hang of his new team, and for a brief period it does, but then the show does something unexpected.

This isn’t about football going to Jordan’s head or even about him “getting even” with the guys who have been bullying him. Instead, it’s the first time he’s felt part of something. After absolutely leveling Sarah Cushing’s boyfriend (well…ex-boyfriend now) on the field, he offers his hand and apologizes for that awkward kiss at the Shuster Mines. Jonathan, meanwhile, sees the good the team is doing for his brother and advocates for him with a Clark who is understandably annoyed that his son is using his powers to gain an advantage on the football field.

Batwoman Season 2 Episode 6 Review: Do Not Resuscitate

By Nicole Hill

Superman & Lois: Behind the Scenes of The New DC TV Show

By Mike Cecchini

I know, I know, this all sounds far weightier than the Morrissey joke I quoted at the start of this, but it all unfolds with a little charm, and some surprisingly light touches here and there. Jonathan and Jordan reacting to an incredibly awkward moment with Sarah and Lana, Clark overdoing his “dorky, eager dad” routine, and other little touches just make this feel like the show is settling into a rhythm with these characters and getting more comfortable being playful.

It’s perhaps a little worrisome that Wolé Parks’ mysterious Captain Luthor is nowhere to be seen this episode, with the only superhuman punch-up coming in the form of guest star Daniel Cudmore’s mysterious, nameless goon who makes the mistake of trying to take out Lois during her investigation. That leads to a really sharp (but quick) punch-up between him and Superman, with a terrific sequence where Superman freezes him with super-breath before delivering a perfect uppercut that would look right at home in a comic panel. If this show continues to work out creative ways to use Superman’s powers the way they have with Barry on The Flash, I think we’re gonna have some real fun in the coming episodes.

But then there’s that ending. As Lois asks, why DOES Morgan Edge have someone with super powers working for him? More than one, apparently, as Cudmore’s mysterious baddie is vaporized by a woman with heat vision named…Larr. So far, the formula for Superman & Lois seems to be to give us a family drama heavy episode, punctuated by moments of cinematic action, and then to close with a mind-bendingly cool reveal. Well, if they insist, who am I to argue?

Metropolis Mailbag

There’s not a ton of DC or Superman Easter eggs this episode, so I don’t think it’s necessarily worth its own post. But, here’s what I’ve got…

The bridge collapse scene does faintly call to mind Superman saving the Golden Gate Bridge during the earthquake in Superman: The Movie.

Jonathan telling Clark that “if you’re not actually allowed to be special” etc feels like a subtle nod to teenage Clark telling Jonathan Kent in Superman: The Movie that he could excel on the football field if he wanted to, which Jonathan forbids, saying that Clark isn’t here to “show off.” But that Clark’s answer was a philosophical “is a bird showing off when he flies?”

Cudmore’s nameless character is apparently “Subjekt-11” a designation which calls to mind “Subjekt-17” an alien raised by the Soviets to make Superman’s life miserable in Kurt Busiek and Carlos Pacheco’s incredibly underrated run on the Superman comics.

Sharon Powell may not be a character from the comics, but the folks at Kryptonsite used their X-Ray vision to point out that the actress who plays her, Jill Teed, was known for portraying Maggie Sawyer on Smallville!

Tyler Hoechlin finally gets to talk a little baseball on this show. Before going into acting, he was a baseball prodigy.

It seems that’s Morgan Edge’s right hand woman, “Leslie Larr” vaporizing our mysterious baddie. The closest I can find to her is a “Lesla Larr” who was an obscure Supergirl villain. THAT version of Larr hailed from Kandor (post shrinking) and she made Supergirl’s life miserable from time to time. I don’t expect this version of the character to have too much in common with her comics counterpart, but it seems like “evil Kryptonians” are definitely gonna be a thing on this show going forward.

Chapter 9

Y/N’s Outfit:

Y/N POV

Shawn pulled up to the restaurant's valet.

The workers opened my side of the door and held it open. I got my clutch and smiled at the worker holding the Jeeps door. I got out and walked towards Shawn side of the Jeep.

Shawn handed the keys to the chauffeur, we then walked into the restaurant. The man that collects the coats comes to get mine, but Shawn speaks up.

"I'll take her coat, thanks sir." Shawn says smiling at the worker.

"Of course, sir!" The worker said kindly.

Shawn grabs the upper part of my coat and I slightly blush as he does.

"Thank you." I whisper not being able to get my voice to rise.

"No problem, beautiful." He says giving me a warm smile.

Shawn and I walked to the front.

"Reservations for Y/N L/N." I said to the lady in the front.

"Perfect! Your the last two in your party!" The lady said. "He'll lead you to the rest of your table!"

Another worker lead us to our table where everyone was waiting for us.

"Wait so everyone is already here?" Shawn whispered.

"I'm guessing?" I said.

"Oh god! I'm nervous! Do they know I'm coming?" Shawn said regarding my family.

"No they don't!" I giggled knowing that, that'll make him more nervous.

"Oh god Y/N!" Shawn said nervously.

"You'll be fine I promise!" I said squeezing his shoulder in reassurance.

He smiled locking his eyes with me.

"This way!" The worker said opening a door, leading us to seatings arrangements in an outdoorsy large room.

There was round tables everywhere! With white tablecloths, large candles in the middle of the table, and beautiful garden-like flower centerpieces. There was chandeliers hanging from the glass see through roofs.

"It's beautiful!" I gasped in awe.

I saw The Dream Team and my family sitting down in the tables. Three tables were set up in one in order to fit us all.

Everyone turned around and saw Shawn and I.

My parents and brothers faces were in shock, from Shawn's presence, I couldn't help but blush.

We walked towards them and I introduced Shawn. First we go over to my parents.

"Mom, dad this is Shawn!" I said to them. "He wanted to meet you guys." I say.

"Shawn this is my mother and father, Patrick and Melissa!" I said introducing them.

My parents stood up.

"Hi, Hello! I'm Shawn!" Shawn said cutely, shaking their hands.

"Good afternoon, Shawn! Nice to meet you!" My mom said shooting him, her million dollar smile.

"It's my pleasure, Mrs. Y/L/N!" Shawn said with his toothy smile.

"Shawn! Finally nice to meet you!" My dad said.

"Thank you sir! Nice to meet you too!" Shawn said.

"Guys sit! We'll talk more later. We don't want to disturb the other parties!" My mother said to Shawn and I.

Shawn and I sat down together.

Shawn and I waved to the Dream Team. They all waved back.

Dylan and Garrett were sitting to my left, and Shawn to my right.

I turned to Garrett and Dylan, and saw them staring at us intensively.

"Dylan! Garrett! I want you to meet Shawn!" I said hugging them in my seat.

"Hey sis!" They both say.

"This is Shawn! As you know he'll be the artist I'm go on tour with!" I say to them.

My parents and The Dream Team Members we're listening to our conversation.

"Nice to finally meet you guys!" Shawn said shaking their hands.

"Yes! Nice to finally meet you too! After hearing about you all the time from this one, for years!!" Garrett said laughing.

Shawn chuckled.

"I'm Dylan! I love your grind and hard work man!" Dylan said.

"Thank you! You're great too!" Shawn said based on his acting game.

Shawn started talking to the Dream Team Members.

"Just so you know we're not messing up your hair because we're in a fancy restaurant!!" Garrett whisper-yelled to me.

I glared at him.

"Well we should come to more fancy restaurants then!" I said putting the cloth on top of my thighs.

Dylan laughed.

"Hey where's Mason??" I asked my mom.

"He was too excited to see you, that he ended sleeping from being so tired of being energized!" Melissa said lying to Y/N.

Her children got the acting skills from her great lying skills. Her children never knew when she lied.

"Aww!" I said sadly.

A waiter then came and starting taking our orders.

I looked through the menus and ordered a pasta.

Everyone ordered their foods and the waiter went to give our order to the cooks.

"So Shawn! How did you find out about Y/N?" My dad said making conversation with Shawn.

"Well my team and I were looking for someone to open up my concerts on tour! What Y/N doesn't know is that Aaliyah, my sister was the one that told me about her! She told me that Y/N did covers of my songs and that she was a fan! So my team and I checked her covers, and we instantly loved her and her voice!" Shawn exclaimed.

"So you're telling me that your whole team and family know about me!" I said to Shawn.

"Well yeah! When you meet them you'll see that they really like you, so you don't have to be nervous!" Shawn said.

I decided not to make a scandal in front of my parents because they'll probably scold me later.

"We'll talk about this later!" I whispered to Shawn.

"I would totally roll my eyes at you right now but your parents and brothers are here!" Shawn whispered making sure no one heard.

We both chuckled.

A group of waiters came and gave us all our food and drinks.

I took my phone out of my clutch and started video taping on Snapchat and on my Instagram Story.

We're here having a celebration dinner because I'm going on tour with Shawn Mendes! *Shawn comes onto the screen smiling* *Turned the camera* *Shows Family, Dream Team, and Food*

I posted the story onto my platforms.

We all dug into the food and had a great time talking and getting to know each other!

"Foods on me!" Shawn suddenly says.

"What? No!!" I said with food in my mouth.

"Shawn! No! Don't worry about it!" My mom said.

"No really! I would love to pay! It's no big deal!" Shawn said looking at my mom.

"No shawn! Don't worry about it!" My mom said to him.

"Really it's ok! Plus Y/N paid for The Harry Potter wands!!" Shawn said looking at me.

"Shawn! They're wands from Walmart! Not a whole dinner!" I said.

"If you really don't want me to pay, I won't." Shawn said reassuringly.

"Thank you!" I said smiling at Shawn.

"That's a really nice offer man! Thanks!" Dylan said.

"Yeah! Except Y/N being her stubborn self didn't let you be the kind man you are!" Garrett said.

I turned to Garrett and glared at him.

"Garrett just didn't want to pay for his food!" Tessa said laughing, making the whole table erupt in laughter.

The waiter came, "Is everything good?"

"Yes! Thank you! Can we get the most expensive champagne you guys have?" My father asked.

"On your way, sir! And here's a treat! The waiter said giving me a plate of dessert.

"Oh this is cute!" I say.

"It is!" Bethany said looking over to my plate.

I giggled.

"Time for a toast!" Froy asked my dad regarding the champagne.

"Yes son!" My dad said.

The waiter came back with the finest champagne in the restaurant.

"I'll bring you all champagne glasses!" The waiter said walking away.

My father opened up the bottle and the cork flew across the room. We got glared at from the other parties.

"Patrick!" My mother scolded at my dad.

We all laughed in the table except my parents.

My dad lifted up his arm, in a way of apologizing for the ruckus.

The waiter came and started passing out the champagne glasses to everyone. My dad passed the bottle to everyone at the table and we all served champagne.

The waiter left and my father started the toast.

He stood up getting. ready. He made eye contact with me and I smiled.

Jazzy started vlogging the toasts for The Dream Team YouTube channel.

"Y/N oh Y/N!" My father sighed. "I just want to start off by saying that you have grown up to be a beautiful young lady. You have always cared about others, you put others before yourself. For example your fans! You care and love for them! All you want is for them to be happy and make their dreams come true! Now it's your time to make your dreams come true! And you are. I am so proud of you Y/N, I could never ask for a better you! You are my little girl, my babygirl and I love you!" My dad said raising up his glass.

I smiled and thanked him.

"Y/N you are the most perfect daughter any mother could ask for! You are always so kind and sweet hearted. Everytime I ask you for a favor you gladly accept. I am so proud of the daughter I have raised and seen grown. I'm so excited to see what is in store for your life! Everyone in this table will miss you when you're out accomplishing your dreams! I'm glad that you'll be with Shawn and not another artist because I can tell Shawn is a great guy and he'll take care of you!" My mom said raising her glass.

We all clapped and looked at who was next.

"Y/N you have been such an amazing friend. You are honestly the most selfless person I've met. I totally agree with Patrick that you always put others ahead of you. And you did that with Emilio and I. You made sure that Emilio and I didn't hold any grudges towards Jake. You helped us become the bigger person by talking with Jake instead of stirring the pot on social media for everyone to see! I want to thank you and I'll miss you when you're on tour with Shawn, I'll even miss you bossing me around the house!" Ivan said.

I smiled and turned to Emilio.

"You are my best friend! We have always had a great time together! I'll miss you when you're on tour! But I know that you are going to have the time of your life with Shawn. You'll be traveling the world and singing, you're favorites. Te quiero mucho Y/N! (I love you Y/N)!" Emilio said.

It was now Tessa turn.

"Y/N my best friend! You're gonna leave me!! I'll miss you so so much! I know that you're gonna be living your dreams though, and that's all that matters! You better call me, text me, FaceTime me every day. Or else I will! I'm glad that you're gonna be with Shawn! I can already tell that you guys are gonna be great friends! I can't wait to see you perform in stadiums. Love you Y/N/N!" Tessa said raising her glass.

"Y/N I'm gonna miss you!! All the girls are. I'm gonna miss our girl talks and getting ready together! I'm gonna miss making videos together! Now who's gonna make the boys hurry up when we're running late! Just you in general brings a light in all of our lives. I love you girly. Just remember always be you and you're a role model to everyone!" Bethany said raising her glass.

It was now Jazzy's turn.

"Y/N I'm going to miss you so much! You have always been there for me and I have always been there for you! Us girls have formed a powerful connection. We can always talk to each other and trust each other and I'm gonna miss that. You're the life of the party and you always see the good in people! That's what I love about you! I'll miss you hunny!" She said blowing me a kiss.

"Oh these next two will be long ones!" I huffed looking at my older brothers.

The table laughed, agreeing. Dylan stands up first, glass in his hand.

"Hey lil sis! I'm so happy to see how far you've come. It makes me sad AND happy to see you grown up. We may be only five years apart in age, but we were always close. I'm happy your going on with your dream. Like I always said dream big baby sis, and you did. I'm so proud to call you my baby sister. It really feels like just yesterday, that me and Garrett were staring down at you in your crib." He gets choked up for a minute looking down. "We'll miss you so much, you better call!" He points at me and I giggle. "Anyway congratulates baby sis! I love you so much!" He hugs me and I start to lightly cry.

I was surprised to see Dylan shed some tears.

Next Garrett stands up. He gets a cheeky smile on and starts as I roll my eyes at him.

"Hmmmm y/n what can I say that Dylan already hasn't said? I want you to know that I'm always going to be here for you! I love you baby sis! You honestly are the best person in the world! I agree with every little thing everyone has said in their toasts. I'm so proud of you and I'm thrilled that you're following your dreams. I always knew you were capable of everything and anything! I love you Y/N! And I can't believe I'm tearing up, Dylan and I made a pact that the only times you would see us cry is when you were born and when you would get married! As you can see we broke that pact already, and I'm sure we'll break it again in the far future!" Garrett said wiping his tears as he sat down.

I turned around and saw that Shawn wasn't in his seat. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.

"He went to the restroom." Jazzy said smiling.

"Oh ok! Let's finish off the toast without him then!" I said sadly.

"CHEERS!" We all said and clicked our glasses together.

We all sipped our champagne.

Shawn came back and sat with us.

The waiter came and asked if we were good.

"Actually can we have the check?" My mom said.

"Dinner's all paid for!" The waiter smiled.

"What?" I asked.

"Hey?" Shawn said putting his hand on my shoulder.

I turned around looking at Shawn.

"I wanted to pay for you guys! I want to get along with you guys and create a great relationship! Y/N is a great person and I want to get to know you all! I hope you guys are ok with me paying!" Shawn explained to my family.

"Shawn! Thank you so much! But it's the last time you'll pay! I'm letting this slide." My mom said.

"Thank you Ms. Y/L/N!" Shawn smiled.

"Call me Melissa please!" My mom said.

"Oh so that's where you were when apparently you were in the "bathroom"?" I say giggling.

Shawn nodded, giving me his hand.

I giggled and we all stood up, getting out of the restaurant.

The valet pulled up with all of our whips.

"Bye guys! Thank you so much for everything! I love you guys so so much!!" I said to family.

"We love you too baby!" My dad said.

We all hugged and Shawn and I went onto his Jeep.

Shawn started driving out of the parking lot.

"You didn't have to pay!" I said to Shawn.

"I wanted to though! And I want your family to like me!" Shawn said going into the freeway.

"Thank you though! For the kind gesture! You're so sweet!" I said kissing his cheek.

He smiled and his cheeks turned into a rose color.

3rd Person POV

Shawn wanted to kiss Y/N so bad! He wanted to feel her soft plump lips in his. He wanted to feel her kiss against his. Every minute that he spends with Y/N he finds something more to like about her!

While Shawn and Y/N were in the Jeep driving to The Dream Team House, Y/N's family and The Dream Team Members we're speeding to get to the house before them.

Team10 was in the Dream Teams House, they were planning a little get together to celebrate Y/N.

They invited every social media star that Y/N was friends with!

The Dream Team Members and Y/N's family sped to the house to get there before Y/N and Shawn.

Shawn knew about the plan though, so he drove slow on purpose.

Jazzy planned this whole get together, but since she was at the dinner she asked Cloutgang and Team10 if they wanted to plan the get together.

Unfortunately they both said yes, and they obviously can't be in the same room. So Jazzy told them to choose a number, and whoever was the closest to Jazzy's number got to plan the get together and be in the get together.

Team10 was closer to Jazzy's number, and unfortunately Cloutgang didn't get to go to the get together.

That's what Y/N hated! Both of them were her friends and she hated when she had a party or an event she had to decide who to invite! Cloutgang or Team10?

Everyone was in The Dream Teams House waiting for Y/N to arrive with Shawn.

Once Y/N's family and the members arrived they went inside and got ready to hide.

They turned off all the lights from the inside and outside of the house.

Y/N POV

Shawn pulled up to the house.

"Why is it so dark?? We always leave the lights from outside on!" I said looking around. You could hardly see anything, it was so dark.

"I don't know that's weird!" Shawn lied getting out of the Jeep.

He walked to Y/N's side and opened the door.

"Here let me hold you! What if there's an intruder?!" Shawn said lying. He didn't want Y/N to see the cars so he held her close to him.

He put her face against his chest, so that she wouldn't see the cars.

"Ok?" I said.

"Here were almost to the door!" Shawn said walking towards the doors.

He opened the doors without Y/N noticing and took her to the backyard, where everyone was hiding.

All the cameras were getting ready to capture Y/N's reaction.

Y/N and Shawn walked out to the backyard and everyone was recording them.

"Look!" Shawn whispered to me. I opened my eyes and moved my face away from Shawn's chest.

"CONGRATULATIONS!!!" Everyone yelled.

I gasped and bent down on the floor from shock. My hands covered my mouth.

I saw all my friends!

My mom, dad, Dylan, Garrett, Mason, The Dream Team, Team10, Logan Paul,The Supernatural Cast, Why Don't We, The Ace Family, The Dolan Twins, James Charles, Shane Dawson and his squad, Lele Pons and Juanpa.

"OH MY GOD! You guys are amazing!" I screeched.

Shawn and I were on top of the backyard stairs and everyone was down in the grass.

"I ship it!" James yelled screaming your ship name.

I blushed and giggled.

I walked down the stairs with Shawn next to me.

I started hugging everyone and greeting them.

"Y/N!!" Mason said jumping on me.

"Hey Mas! I missed you in the dinner! Mommy told me you were sleeping!!" I said.

"Haha! Me and Mommy tricked you! I was helping with the party!" Mason said.

"Really! You're such a helper bubba!" I said combining our noses.

"Yeah!! Erika and Jakey we're taking care of me!" Mason said pointing to Erika.

I let Mason down and greeted Erika.

"Congratulations Y/N!" Erika said engulfing me in a hug.

"Thank you Rick!" I said hugging her.

"So... You finally met lover boy!!" Erika said elbowing my ribs, looking at Shawn.

"Yeah I finally met him!" I blushed.

"Aww! I can't wait until you finally date!!" Erika laughed.

"Oh stop!" I laughed.

"You look so pretty all dressed up!!" Erika said touching the ruffles of my dress.

"Thank you!" I said hugging her.

"Hey I'll talk to you later okay?! I'm gonna go greet everyone else" I said.

"Of course! I'll hang with this cutie!" Erika said carrying Mason.

I giggled and walked away.

"You guys!!!" I said hugging Alex Calvert. My lover in Supernatural.

"We missed you!" Misha said hugging me.

"I missed you guys too!" I said hugging Jensen and then Jared.

"How's everything? We've missed our little girl!" Jensen said side hugging me.

"Everything's great! I've missed you guys though!" I said.

"We've missed you too!" Jared said chuckling.

"We should go matching for the 13th season premiere!" Alex said.

"Yes! We should!" I said.

I talked a bit more with The Supernatural Cast, until I went to greet everyone else.

"Gray!! Eeeteeweetee!! I said teasing them.

"Y/N!" Grayson said smiling like an idiot, hugging me.

"Gray!" I said.

"I feel so small compared to you!" I said.

"You are small! Even with your heels on!" Ethan said.

I slapped his shoulder.

"Owww!" Ethan said massaging the part I hit.

"Oh god! I didn't miss your extraness!" I said rolling my eyes, Grayson laughed.

"I have to deal with it everyday!" Grayson huffed.

"Heyy!" Ethan said.

I giggled and hugged Ethan, yet again I felt small in their muscular, toned bodies.

"Sister Y/N!" James said.

"James!" I said hugging him.

"Y/N!" James said.

I giggled.

"You look so good! Sister Slays!!" James exclaimed.

"James you already know!!" I said laughing.

Grayson and Ethan laughed.

"I'm gonna go say hi to everyone else alright! Love you guys!" I say to them.

"Corbyn! Daniel! Jonah! Zach! Jack!" I yelled and they turned around.

They all engulfed me into a huge hug.

"Why Don't we have a group hug!!" Corbyn said cheekily.

We all laughed.

"How are you guys!?" I asked.

"We're good!" Daniel said.

"I love the album!" I fangirled.

"You're so adorable!" Jonah said pulling me into a hug.

"I know right! It's so great!" Jack said out of nowhere, sarcastically.

I giggled.

"You guys deserve it!" I say.

"You deserve it too! You're going on tour with SHAWN MENDES!" Zach said.

"I know! When we have a concert in L.A. y'all better come!" I said looking at them all.

"We wouldn't miss it in the world!" Daniel said sweetly.

"Well I would love to talk to you guys more, but I have to greet everyone else!! Love you boys!" I say.

"Heyy! We're a man band!!" Zach said all deep.

I laughed and rolled my eyes.

"Elle! Austin! Catherine!" I say to the ace family.

"Y/N!!" Elle said butchering your name.

"Elle" I say bending down carrying her.

She started playing with my hair, I giggled.

"Y/N!" Austin's said hugging me.

"McBroom!" I say hugging him with Elle in my arms.

"You look beautiful!" Catherine said hugging me.

"Thank you! How's the little McBroom!" I say touching her belly through her dress.

"She's there!" Catherine said.

"Aaww!" I say feeling the baby kick.

"She likes you!" Austin said.

I laughed and looked at Elle.

"Have you seen Mason? You should go pay with him!" I say to Elle.

"No no, bebe! No boys!" Austin said in a baby voice to Elle.

Catherine giggled, and Elle glared at him.

I laughed.

"Well loved seeing you guys again I'm have to greet a few more people!" I say kissing Elle and putting her down.

"Bye Y/L/N!" Austin said.

"Bye McBroom!" I say and giggle.

"Lele! Juanpa!" I say walking up to them.

"Y/N!" Juanpa says in his Spanish accent.

I hugged him and then Lele.

"You look bomb af girl!" Lele said.

I laughed, "Thanks!"

"Congrats!" Juanpa says.

"Thank you!" I say.

"I know! It's so crazy how you were a fan of his and now your going on tour with him!" Lele says.

"You we're destined to be!" Juanpa says in his thick Spanish accent.

"Oh please! I wish!" I say.

"Oooo!" Lele says.

I laugh and went with Shane and his friends.

"Shane!" I say.

"Y/N!" Shane says sitting up from his chair.

I hugged him.

"The first time I don't see you in your Merch!!" I say excitedly.

"I know I made him shop!" Ryland said.

Shane rolled his eyes and snorted.

I laughed and hugged Morgan, Andrew, Garrett, and Ryland.

"You look so pretty!" Morgan gushed.

"Thank you! You look great!" I say to Morgan.

I talked to them a few more minutes.

I then walked towards Team10 and Logan.

"Loggyy!" I say hugging Logan from behind.

"My shortie!!" Logan said lifting me up.

"Logan!!" I screeched.

He laughed at put me down.

I tippy toed and ruffled his perfect curly hair.

"Hey!!" Logan said laughing.

I giggled and I felt someone carrying me in their arms.

I turned around and saw some brown locks, and immediately noticed it was Anthony.

"Trujillo!! Put me down!" I yelled.

"Yes Ma'am!" Anthony said chuckling.

"Tony!! Why are you so tall!" I say hugging him.

"I'm from Ohio baby!" He said.

I rolled me eyes.

"Hey Chad!" I say hugging him.

"Hi Y/N!" He said pulling away from the hug.

"How are you? I'm so happy for you!" He said.

"Thank you, Chad!" I say.

"Of course!" He says.

I hugged Justin.

"Hey Justin!" I say in the hug.

"Hey Y/N/N!" He says.

I giggled.

"Where's Jake??" I say looking around.

I then felt some strong arms around my stomach, pulling me up.

"JAKKEE!!" I yelled.

"Yyy/NNn!" He said dragging my name.

I felt his hot breath in my neck. It sent chills down my body.

"What do you Ohio boys have?? Always carrying me??!" I say looking at Anthony and Logan.

"We just like annoying our little girl!!" Jake says putting me down.

I turn around hugging Jake.

"I'm not little!!" I grunted.

"Yes you are!" Logan said.

"No!!! You're just giants!!" I say.

Anthony laughed.

"May everyone sit down!" Garrett said through a microphone, Dylan by his side.

Everyone sat down in the chairs accompanied by tables.

I sat down next to Shawn. In our table it was some of the Dream Team Members.

"Once everyone settled down Garrett started talking.

"Ok so Y/N we made a slide show! Because we love you and mostly because we want to embarrass you in front of everyone!!" Garrett said.

I glared at him.

"This is for you little sis!" Dylan said playing the video.

He trails off then motions to a video on the back wall starts to play. He sits down.

"Oh no......" I blush and face palm myself as a video of all my embarrassing baby moments come up with Garrett and Dylan's voice in the background:

"Y/N was the most cutest baby of all time! I mean look at her!" Garrett gushed in the video.

Everyone awwed, as I covered my face.

"This was a couple of months after y/n was born. She seriously was a really cute baby!" Dylan's voice says. Then comes Garrett's.......

"Yeah sis what happened?" "Ow!" We hear a slap sound.

"Would you stop that's our sister!"

"It was actually true for this one. The snuggle was real, she much like Mason, loved to snuggle anyone that would snuggle her." I laugh at how they fight even when nobody's watching and how true that statement was.

"I remember watching you in the hospital cribs! I remember thinking that you were the most beautiful sister in the world!" Dylan said. I could hear him tearing up through the video.

Then the next few pictures were about Dylan and Garrett talking about the onesies.

"All the adorable onesies and shirts we got her........" came Dylan's voice. We all awww at some of them.

"We also fought over who was the better brother remember?" Came Garrett's voice.

"Don't remind me!" Came our Mother's voice in the far off background making us all laugh.

"I remember taking these cute cliche photos!" Garrett said.

"Mom started making us dress like this! With Thing 1 Thing 2 shirts!" came Garrett's voice.

"Then we had to add Y/N and Mason as Thing 3 and 4!" Dylan said.

Everyone one in the crowd laughed.

Next two pictures had me blushing like crazy. I mean Shawn is sitting right next to me watching this!!

"Her costumes over the years.....""she liked the chicken one more though." Me and mom laughed.

Everyone in the crowd erupted in laughter.

"You look adorable!" Shawn whispered to me.

I blushed and thanked him.

"Yeah! Only because we decided to tell her that her costume was a pony killer!" Garrett says in the background.

"She did love her pony's." Dylan says.

"She was Audrey Hepburn one time. I remember telling her that she was the cutest little Audrey Hepburn." Garrett says and we all laugh.

"The she was also Cinderella one time. OH MY GOSH! The cutest one she was ever in!" Dylan says.

"No I liked the red riding hood one the most!" Garrett starts a fight. We all laugh as we hear that they are fighting again as I roll my eyes.

"Ok ok! Let's agree to disagree that the ghost one was pretty creative!" Garrett says.

"Yeah we both dressed her up that year and mom just gave us a death look." Dylan says and me and mom giggle.

"Always the little freaking diva of the family. She got mad at Dylan one time at the park because he wouldn't push her." Comes Garrett's voice and I roll my eyes.

This next one also had me blushing. "My first kiss" as the boys like to call it, but in reality it really wasn't a kiss it was a peck. Plus it was me and my best friend. I don't count it because I was a little girl! It was a meaningless peck.

"Yeah, we as brothers were not happy about this one..........." both their voices come on the speakers. We all laugh even I do. Shawn chuckles at their statement.

"I'd be the same." Shawn says chuckling. I slap his arm playfully.

"We told her no kisses to boys that were not us or dad, That day we kept trying to keep her away from the kid, that later was one of her best friends. AKA JOSH FRECKEN HUTCHERSON!" Then the screen started to rise and josh walks out. I screamed the run over to him giving him a hug.

"Josh! I've missed you so much Bestie!!!" He hugs me back.

"Oh my, you've changed girl!" He says looking me over.

"Yeah, well when you don't see someone for almost a year and only talk over text that's what happens." We laugh and then we walk back over to the table.

"Oh hang on I brought Jen. Let me go get her!" He says running over to table they were in.

I look at my brothers. I then hug them and kiss there cheeks and they chuckle.

"I guess you liked our gift then?" They both ask me just as I sit down next to Shawn again.

"How can I not! You brought my best friend all the way back from the hunger games set just for me!! You knew I was needing to talk to him and you guys listened to me!! I love you guys!!" I say hugging on them one more time.

"Any time sissy." They hug me back then Josh walks out.

"Hey y/n/n this is Jen and Jen this is y/n" we shake hands.

"Hey Joshie this is Shawn, Shawn this is my lifelong best friend Josh." They shake hands.

The night goes on for a bit longer.

My brothers stand from their chairs. Dylan is the first to approach me.

"Hey sis." He says hugging me as he messes up my hair and kisses my temple. Garrett does the same.

Then I hear Mason and look up to see him running over to me, I kneel down and catch him in my arms then stand with him on my hip.

"SISSY!!! CAN I STAY WITH YOU TONIGHT?!" He asks while somewhat jumping in my arms.

"Sure, buddy, but again you have to ask mum and dad." I poke his nose then let him down.

"Okay SISSY!" I ruffle his hair right before he runs off to our parents.

Mason then runs back up to me jumping into my arms.

"SISSY! MOMMY SAID YES!!!" He hugs me close.

"Hey, buddy look over my shoulder." He does and his eyes grow wide.

"You're Shawn Mendes!!" He gets over excited.

"Why yes I am! Hi!" Shawn does a little wave and Mason automatically does his grabby hands.

"He wants you Shawn." Shawn reaches out for Mason with a smile on his face and immediately goes over to Shawn who starts to play around with him.

"Hi buddy! How are you?" He tickles his stomach as Mason laughs.

"Good! Sissy can we keep him?" Me and Shawn laugh.

"Sure buddy, but that's up to him?" I look over at Shawn.

"Why would I ever say no to you little guy!" He says tickling him again and he laughs.

"Can I call you big brother shawn?" He asks hugging him.

"Sure buddy! I'd love that!" Shawn says hugging him back. Then he lets him go and Mason runs off to play with Tydus (Mini Jake Paul) and Elle.

Then I see Dylan pat Shawn on the shoulders.

"Hey, bud can me and Garrett have a word with you?" Shawn looks at them as they both have a arm sling around him.

"Sure?" Shawn happily states.

I roll my eyes as Garrett slowly pushes me out of the way.

"AWAY SISTER!!" I giggle at my weird brothers.

"I want him back in one piece!!" I yelled.

"No promises!" Dylan says.

I walk over to Tessa, Jazzy, Bethany, and Erika. They handed me a drink and we just chat girl stuff.

Shawn's POV

Dylan and Garrett lead me over to the house and Dylan pats me on the back.

"Now we won't hurt you..." He trails off and Garrett Finishes wow they do finish eachothers sentences. Y/N said they did that, but I didn't actually think they did.

"But we will if you ever and I mean ever hurt her." He stops and Dylan starts back up.

"We don't wanna go all protective brothers on your ass, but we will if it comes to it. You also better take care of her on tour." Dylan makes a straight face and I gulp.

I wasn't scared of what they were saying because I agreed 100%, but of how they were saying it.

They both burst out laughing.

"Calm down we won't kill you!" Her brothers say while laughing. I chuckle.

"But really please take care of her she's the only princess we have in the family. We protect her with our lives." They both say with a somewhat serious face.

"Oh believe me I will. Everyone on my tour gets a lot of protection with security! I promise." They look at me somewhat shocked.

"Good! We want her to be safe!" They say.

"I also have a little sister that I see as the princess of my family. Just like you guys I'd do anything for her so I understand where you guys are coming from!" We then get drinks and we laugh.

Throughout the night I hear her laugh and look over. She throws her head back while laughing and smiles at something Josh or Jennifer says.

Right now she was talking with Jake, Logan, and their friends.

She look absolutely beautiful!

Ivan and I were talking.

"Excuse me for a moment." I put my drink down on the table and walk over to her. I hug her from behind and she jumps.

"Oh hi!! You scared me!" She smiles looking back at me giggling. I laugh

"Sorry didn't mean to scare you." I chuckle in wrapping my arms from her waist.

I then saw Jake and Logan staring at me.

"Hey man!" Jake says to me.

"Hey! How's it been!" I say.

"It's been great!" Jake says.

I then greet Logan.

"Shawn! My man!" Logan said taking him in a brohug.

"Wait is this the first time you've guys reconnected since Vine?" Y/N asked.

I nodded.

"That's crazy!" Y/N says.

"It seems like just yesterday we were fooling around in a hotel!" Logan says.

"Yeah! Congrats on all your success!" Jake says.

"Thanks man! Yours too!" Shawn says kindly.

A man starts to bring food out.

"Oh god! I'm so full!" Y/N says looking at the food.

"When has that ever stopped you from eating??" Anthony says.

We all laugh.

Shawn and I sit down at a table and Mason automatically runs to us.

"Big brother Shawn! Can I sit with you!!" Mason asked jumping up and down with pleading eyes.

We both laugh.

"Of course Mason! You don't have to ask!" Shawn said picking Mason up and sitting him in the chair next to him.

The rest of the night was filled with laughter, love, and great memories.

Shawn got to reconnect with old vine friends, meet my friends.

Shawn got close with my family!

Everything was perfect!

Connie Han: Iron Starlet (Mack Avenue, 2020)

Connie Han: piano & Fender Rhodes; Ivan Taylor: bass; Bill Wysaske: drums; Walter Smith III: tenor saxophone, Jeremy Pelt: trumpet.

When 23 year old pianist Connie Han released Crime Zone, her Mack Avenue debut in 2018 it caused quite a sensation. For starters, she used the influences of Kenny Kirkland and Mulgrew Miller along with those of McCoy Tyner, Hank Jones and others to put her spin on the post bop music that young musicians made following the arrival of Wynton Marsalis. Now, with her sophomore Mack Avenue release Iron Starlet Han shows growth from Crime Zone and also plenty of potential with expansions into other directions. Here she mixes even more refined examples in the burnout style heard previously; head bobbing swing, expressive ballads. She uses her working trio, bassist Ivan Taylor and drummer/producer/composer Bill Wysaske, augmented by Walter Smith III (returning from the previous album) and Jeremy Pelt on trumpet on select tracks in full quintet and quartet formations.

What in part and parcel makes this music successful and enjoyable is that it is road tested. Han and Wysaske did not just bring in the charts for some of this very difficult music for a first time studio run down-- they played much of the material on the road, including a stop at New York's Jazz Standard last summer. The other common denominator is the Wynton, Branford, Terence Blanchard, Kenny Garrett, Kenny Kirkland and Jeff “Tain” Watts stream of playing the new compositions take their cue from and expand on. It's all music that Pelt, and Smith III had also grown up on so it's a natural fit. For musicians in their 30's and 40's, it's nearly impossible to not be influenced by albums the above named players made that boldly through their own lens blended the kind of energy found on the best jazz-rock and jazz-funk records, the defining Blue Note albums of the 60's, and some of the pivotal albums from John Coltrane, McCoy Tyner and Pharoah Sanders.

Han's interest in insistent rhythm and locking into a stone groove with Taylor and Wysaske announces the title track with powerful conviction. The knotty theme has the striking use of piano and bass unison like that of “Southern Rebellion” on Crime Zone with abrupt thematic passages for Pelt's trumpet and winding unisons for Pelt and the pianist. For Pelt's bravura solo, staccato eighth note jabs and legato tones incite Han's comping figures, prompting eruptions from Wysaske's drums. Han's solo is brash, rhythmic acuity a defining feature; Taylor locked in his walk, Wysaske's short high hat chokes on the upbeat and swiss triplet figures in groups of five stoking the flames even more. If the first four minutes of the album are a thrilling joy ride on the Audobon, then Wysaske's attractive “Nova”, the first tune to feature Han on Fender Rhodes electric piano shows how adept the pianist is at switching moods. This is where the growth from Crime Zone really begins to shine through. Pelt and Smith III play Wysaske's pretty melody as if they are skaters on ice, Han's Rhodes solo is filled with a warm glow, keen sense of space, and blues undercurrent. Her playing on the coda under Wysaske's straight eighth ride brings about a feeling of melancholy letting the glowing “Nova” go.

“Mr. Dominator” a Hank Jones and Mulgrew Miller inspired lesson in hard swing, is distilled here to it's essence from the lengthy versions the trio played nightly. The pianist is sly, sultry and funky, freely using techniques of horn players in her improvisation ,while Wysaske sticks purely in service to the groove. Ivan Taylor gets his say with a Wilbur Ware and Jimmy Garrison depth of tone, and a brief economical drum solo bring things back the funky, memorable melody. “For the O.G.”, dedicated to the late McCoy Tyner conjures up some of the feeling of the pianist's defining 1970's Milestone albums. The pianist launches into the piece with determination, and her solo assimilates the innovations of Tyner wisely. Her use of the lick as a motivic device is dryly humorous, and her cadenza at the end demonstrates how much she loves and understands the Tyner style, but she uses the ground he broke to speak those lines in her own voice. Sandwiched between the head and the pianist's solo, Wysaske's drum solo has judicious use of toms as a thematic component.

Eugene McDaniels “Hello To the Wind” originally taped by vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson for his classic Now (Blue Note, 1970) and later reprised with the LA Philharmonic on the obscure Blue Note Meets The LA Philharmonic (Blue Note, 1977). McDaniels' lyrics and the entire Now album, in light of our divided social climate, and the general surge for change are as relevant in the present as they were then. Han's choice of chorused Rhodes and a Philip Glass like ostinato in the left hand, for the introduction with textures later thickened by acoustic piano add emotional weight to the piece. The deeply emotional current is further in her solo and Walter Smith III's tenor. Wysaske's tender ballad “Captain's Song” an ode to a French bulldog, has a gently floating feeling and Han digs deeply into color in her solo, much as she does on the drummer's gorgeous “The Forsaken”; making all the note choices count. Both “Boy Toy” and the closing homage to Wynton Marsalis' Black Codes From the Underground (Columbia, 1985) “Dark Chambers” mine the treacherous burnout territory once more, with the closing track in particular a marvel of focused intensity, and the rhythmic urgency found on the Marsalis recording. Han takes zero prisoners in her solo, using motivic development to smart effect. Smith III, and Pelt go full steam ahead as well for a wonderful conclusion to an engaging collection.

Sound:

Recorded at Sear Sound in New York City over two days in August, 2019 recorded and mastered by Chris Allen, and mixed by Patrick L. Smith at Dennis Songs Studio in Los Angeles Iron Starlet is a significant upgrade in sound from Crime Zone. Well done acoustic jazz recordings have a particular matter of fact quality to them that Iron Starlet definitely has in that the instrument tonalities are natural and realistic, the relatively dry sound stage bear this out. Han's piano shines on Focal Chorus 716 floor standing speakers, where it's midrange is one of it's strongest assets, and the stereo image of the piano is accurate to what is heard in real life. The Fender Rhodes tones are particularly fat and luxurious, the Chorus 716's again excelling at mid range. The upper end of Han's Rhodes work makes subtle use of Focal's patented inverted tweeter technology. The high end of her Rhodes silky and smooth, with the way the instrument is recorded there is an pleasing bell like ping in the upper notes, reminiscent of Bob James' signature Rhodes timbre on his classic work. Walter Smith III's warm tenor tone is captured attractively and Jeremy Pelt's rounded tone comes through without issue. Ivan Taylor's bass tones in the phantom center channel are rendered accurately on the Chorus 716's where some speakers may have difficulty with tones that deep. Finally Bill Wysaske's drums have the snare in the center image with ride cymbal on the right of center, high hat on far left, with splash and crash in the far left and right and tom drums far left and right. The snare has resonance but is contrasted with a weird hybrid Tony Williams 70's type sound with a more deadened one for the toms. As Wysaske is a lover of Steely Dan, this kind of tom sound is no surprise, but at first the subtle resonant-dead sound can take a minute to get used to. The deadened tom sound did appear on acoustic jazz albums in the 70's like Frank Butler's The Stepper (Xanadu, 1978) so it wasn't uncommon then, but album's like Butler's often had strange mixes, as did a lot of acoustic jazz of the period.

Final thoughts:

With Iron Starlet, Connie Han has truly arrived. This is very much a project of continued growth in an artist's journey. The assured ness that informs a very specific area of the jazz universe is heard through each one of her compositions, those of Wysaske's, and the lone standard “Detour Ahead” . Han is a driven and unshakably confident soloist always ready to burn, but she also exhibits a level of restraint and sensitivity that further drives home her passion. She has a trio that makes challenging music quite accessible, and with the added gusto of Walter Smith, III and Jeremy Pelt, the ensemble delivers on a high level the very visceral music that helped shape and establish many musicians who came in it's wake. Iron Starlet also points to Han's further potential, perhaps a double live album to cap off the music presented thus far on her Mack Avenue releases, an album with Kenny Garrett, Christian McBride and Jeff “Tain” Watts, or even an album expanding on the cyberpunk themes the pianist loves with her ethos at the core, enhanced by more Rhodes, keyboards and funky rhythms in addition to searing swing. The sky is the limit for Connie Han.

Who do you belong to? | Nolan Patrick Smut

A/N: requested by anon (also I’m on mobile, so I have no clue how to do ‘read more’ sorry) sorry for any errors!

THANK YOU to @lizzywow for helping me to finish this! Love you!!

Word count:2393

Warnings: SMUT!!! Don’t read if you’re under 18! Choking. Alcohol. Jealous!Nolan. Nolan grabs the readers wrist tightly, idk if that’s triggering.

——

So you and Nolan were out at a club in Philly, celebrating the teams win tonight over the Penguins. You had dressed up a bit more provocative than usual and were planning on having a fun night with Nolan. However, your night was not going as planned.

Nolan was standing at the bar with Ivan and Oskar, in no mood to be with you on the dance floor. Luckily, TK was in the mood to let loose and was more than willing to dance with you. As you and TK danced to the beat of the music, you couldn’t help but continuously glance in Nolan’s direction. Only to find him laughing at something Ivan said instead of looking at you. It may have been the alcohol talking, but you wanted nothing more than to send Nolan into a jealous rage. Simply because when Nolan is jealous, the sex is so good, you can’t walk straight for days afterwards.

So, you moved yourself closer to Travis, who was pretty drunk and just looking to have fun at this point. As a rather sexual song started playing over the speakers, you found yourself turning around and leaning into Travis’ embrace, your back pressed against his chest.

“Y/N, what do you think you’re doing?” Travis slurred in your ear.

“Dancing, what does it look like?” You said as if it was obvious while moving your body against his in a sinful manner.

TK just shrugged and pulled your body closer to his trying to match your rhythm. Both of you knew TK would never push things too far. Nolan was his best friend and he respected you and the relationship you two had, that didn’t mean he didn’t enjoy flirting with you to rile Nolan up occasionally. You and TK danced for a few songs, with you occasionally glancing over towards the bar to see if Nolan was reacting the way you wanted him to. You met his eyes as you moved your hips a bit more seductively and ran your hand through TK’s hair, Nolan just looked back at you with a rather unreadable expression. If how you were moving was not getting him jealous, then you’d have to step it up a notch. You pulled TK’s head down, moving your mouth to his ear.

“Time to turn it up a bit, Konecny.” He smirked and spun you around so your fronts were pressed together. You moved against each other, with his hands roaming around your body and yours tangled in his hair. He maneuvered one of his legs between yours, giving you something to grind against. He smirked at you and tilted his head in the direction of your rosy-cheeked boyfriend.

You looked over your shoulder to see Nolan holding his drink with white knuckles. His jaw was clenched and his pupils were blown in either anger or lust, you couldn’t tell, you didn’t care. You got the reaction you wanted.

You winked at him as he chugged the rest of his drink and stalked over to where you were, leaving Ivan and Oskar confused at his sudden departure. By the time Nolan reached you, you had turned your attention back to Travis, successfully ignoring the fact that your boyfriend was now standing behind you. You only acknowledged him once he grabbed you by the shoulder, forcing you to turn and face him.

“What do you think you’re doing, angel?” You smirked and reached up to run a hand through his hair.

“Dancing with Trav. What does it look like, babe?” You looked up at him with an innocent look playing across your face as he looked down at you in disbelief. By this time Travis has disappeared off the dance floor and over to Ivan and Oskar at the bar.

“You think it’s okay to dance like that with TK? I think you forgot who you belong to, angel.” He rasped in your ear and the hand he had on the small of your back moved lower and pulled you closer to his large frame. The grip you had on his hair tightened while your free hand found a home on his broad chest.

You smirked up at him, “Oh yeah? And who is that?”

You knew that you were making him mad by the way he gripped your hips with more pressure, but that just made the wetness in your panties even more noticeable to you. You could feel other people bumping into you and Nolan, obviously annoyed that the two of you weren’t dancing but instead just standing still in the middle of the dancefloor. Nolan just growled at your response, frustrated that you were playing games.

“Hmm, no answer? Guess I’ll just go find Trav and see if he’ll tell me who I belong to.” You remove yourself from Nolan’s hold and start to walk over to where the other Flyers players were. Nolan was quick to react, grabbing your wrist more aggressively than he should’ve. He yanked you back into his chest, grip not loosening in the slightest. Honestly, you’d only seen Nolan this aggressive on the ice and weren’t sure how to react; so, you froze.

“Oh, angel, you’re gonna regret that. We’re leaving. Now.” He dragged you out of the club into the chilly Philadelphia air, you struggled to keep up with his rapid pace as he walked back to your shared apartment.

“Nolan, please slow down. I’m in heels.”

However, your pleas fell upon deaf ears. The tall, brown-haired boy didn’t utter a single word in your direction until the two of you were in the privacy of your apartment. As soon as the door was locked, Nolan turned to you, eyes dark and filled with lust, he circled your frozen figure. He stopped behind you and moved your hair behind your ear, leaning closer to you.

“You’ve been playing a dangerous game all night, angel. One that you had no chance in winning.” His lips trailed along the exposed skin on your neck, your head instinctively leaning to the side to give him more access. You moaned in pleasure, finally getting what you had wanted all night long.

“Oh I think I've already won,” you panted out as Nolan continued to suck on your sweet spot. He bit down harshly on your soft skin to mark you, then pulled back to look you in your eyes, hands coming up to tangle themselves in your hair.

“What was that angel?” He grabbed your hair at the roots and pulled your head roughly to the side, the pain felt nice on your scalp. “You think that you get to dance with TK all night long and think you've won?”

“Oh Nolan,” you sighed, leaning into his hand pulling at your hair. “You can be such a stupid boy sometimes, you know?” You pushed Nolan up against the wall and bit his bottom lip before kissing him deeply, Nolans hands came down to grip your ass, fingertips pressed up under your skirt to feel your skin.

Next thing you knew, Nolan had picked you up by your thighs and pushed you up against the wall next to the door. The two of you make out against the wall, hands roaming as far as your position would allow. It wasn’t long before he walked you to the bedroom and sat down on the edge of the bed with you in his lap. You quickly got between his muscular legs and unzipped his jeans, which were certainly much tighter than when he had put them on earlier. You pulled his pants down his long legs, leaving him in just his boxer briefs. You look up at him with innocent eyes as you start to palm him over the strained fabric, Nolan watching your every movement, carefully. You placed an open-mouth kiss over his cock before pulling his briefs down his legs, letting his cock spring up and slap against his lower stomach.

Hesitantly, you reach out and wrap your hand around him and bring your tongue out to lick a broad strip along the underneath of his swollen cock. Nolan lets out a sigh of relief as you wrap your lips around his head, sucking slightly. You knew you were being a brat and teasing him much more than you should be, but you just couldn’t help it. You took as much of him into your mouth as you could, relaxing your throat as you take more of him deeper and deeper.

Nolan’s demeanor changed as soon as he felt himself hit the back of your throat, his cocky attitude had quickly made a comeback.

“Yeah, angel, that's right you're mine. You couldn’t suck anybody as well as you suck me. You may be a brat, but you’re always so good for me.”

You moan at his words and reach a hand up to start playing with his balls, Nolan lets out a guttural noise, throwing his head back in pleasure. You know then that even though he’s been acting cocky all night, you’ve still got him wrapped around your finger.

Nolan could tell he was getting close to his release, so he pulled you off of him and tossed you back onto the bed. He couldn’t seem to get your clothes off fast enough, you’re pretty sure he even tore your skirt. He quickly removed his shirt, leaving you both naked, before he attached his lips to your neck. Leaving hickeys on any available skin he could find, you would certainly struggle to cover these marks for the following days to come.

Nolan worked his way down your body, any skin his hands touched, his lips followed shortly thereafter. His fingers reached your dripping core, easily inserting two fingers inside you, curling up into your sweet spot, making you moan out. Your nails found a home in the skin of his back, scratching enough that you know there will be marks tomorrow. He isn’t quite ready to finish teasing you yet, but he knows that he won’t last much longer.

Nolan removes his fingers from your core and with his other hand, he opened your mouth so he could place the fingers that had just been in you into your mouth. You moaned at the taste of yourself on his fingers, sucking harshly while looking into Nolan’s eyes. He groans at the sight of you sucking on his fingers and moves to place your legs over his broad shoulders, while lining himself up to your core.

Nolan pushes in and bottoms out in one swift thrust, moaning at how tight you are. He gives you a moment to adjust before pulling out almost entirely, and thrusts back into you at a rough pace. Nolan sets his pace rough and deep, you can feel him hitting your cervix in the best way. You can hear Nolan telling you to keep your eyes on him, but you can’t seem to be able to even see anything as your eyes roll back. Nolan’s hands are holding onto your hips with bruising force, while you’re fingers leaving crescent-shaped marks in his biceps. You are close but you need more, something new, a new angle.

“Nol, please, please, fuck me from behind. Want you to pull my hair. Want to move with you.”

Nolan is quick to comply, pulling out of you and turning you on to your hands and knees. Sliding back into you, Nolan moans out, loving the feeling of bottoming out inside of you from this angle. He goes to start thrusting and you begin to move your hips in time with his thrusts, meeting him halfway. The sensation has you dropping your head down against the mattress, but Nolan is quick to wrap his hand in your hair, pulling you up so your back is flush against his chest. He removes his hand from your hair and wraps it around your neck, squeezing until he could feel you start to struggle to breathe slightly.

You brought a hand up to wrap around Nolan’s wrist, moaning as he flexes his fingers even more. You were too caught up in the change in the angle and his hand around your throat to even notice his other hand moving down to rub the bundle of nerves in between your thighs. The sensations quickly became too much and you couldn’t even find the words to let Nolan know you were cumming.

He released his grip on your throat, letting you fall forward on to the bed, as he fucks you at a relentless pace through your high while chasing his. You turn your head to the side to look back at him as he fucks you.

“Yeah, baby, that’s it. Use me. Show me who I belong to.” you rasp out, voice all scratchy from your vocal cords being restricted.

Nolan could never get enough of your dirty talk, especially when your voice was raspy from either him fucking your throat or choking you. So, hearing you coax him towards his high, sent him over the edge. He stilled as he came inside of you, both of you moaning at the feeling of his cum filling you up.

“Fuck, angel, look at you. Filled with my cum, you look so pretty like this. All mine.”

Pulling out of you slowly, admiring the sight of his cum mixed with yours dripping out of your swollen cunt. Nolan collapsed next to you and you both laid there for a second before he got up to get a towel to clean you off. Nolan rolled you over to lay on your back so he could clean the mess between your legs. He tossed the towel into the hamper then crawled into bed with you, pulling you into his arms, pressing a sweet kiss to your lips.

“You okay, angel? Not too rough?” Nolan was always very tender with you after sex.

You nodded and murmured a soft “yes” as you pressed a kiss into his chest as he rubbed his hand up and down your back, holding you close to him.

“Angel, that was amazing but please don't ever dance like that with TK again.” Nolan whispered into your hair.

“Next time make sure I don't have to find somebody else to dance with first.” you said while smirking up at him.

“I think that can be arranged.” He kissed your forehead and just as your about to fall asleep, Nolan asked, “Wait, what the fuck did you mean by ‘you can be such a stupid boy?’”
