Love at first bite - Boris Pavlikovsky x reader

Pairing: Boris Pavlikovsky (The Goldfinch) x f!decker!reader

Warnings: very fluffy, just Boris (metaphorically) drooling over the reader. Sfw still 🎀

Summary: you’re Theo’s cousin, in Vegas for a few days to visit him and his dad. While you’re cooking at the Deckers house, Theo gets an interesting and very good looking visitor.

Love note from Nina: I know not many people like my Boris fics, but I recently finished reading The Goldfinch for the first time, so bear with me here. Hope you enjoy it 💕

You had gotten to the Deckers house earlier that morning - Theo had already left for school, but uncle Larry and Xandra picked you up at the airport before leaving for work. That meant you were alone in the house for a few hours, so you decided to do some cleaning and cooking to wait for everyone to come home.

At around 3 in the afternoon, the doorbell rang. You opened the door, but surely wasn’t hoping to see such a tall, handsome dark haired boy in front of you.

“Hi! You’re Theo’s friend, uh… Boris, right?” you asked, trying to sweeten up your voice as much as you could and fixing your hair.

Theo didn’t have any friends in Vegas besides Boris, so of course you knew about him, but his accent seemed even cuter and more distinct in person as he spoke.

“Yes, that is me” he nodded, smiling softly. “And you’re…?”

“Y/n, I’m Theo’s cousin, nice to meet you” you answered, greeting him with a kiss on the cheek, something very common in your part of the family. “I guess he should be coming home soon. Would you like some coffee? I just brewed it, it’s still pretty hot”

Boris nodded and you turned around to get back to the kitchen, not catching his silly smile as he gently touched his cheek where you had kissed him.

“Are you coming, dear?” you raised your voice slightly so he’d hear you from the door, as you were now in the kitchen.

Boris soon came along and sat on one of the kitchen chairs. You served him some of the cookies you had baked earlier, as well as a cup of coffee.

“You made these?” he asked, mouth full of cookies already. “So good”

“Yeah, just before you got here, actually” you chuckled, finding his reaction funny. “So Theo would have something to eat when he came back from school, you know… But I made way too many, so I’m glad you’re here to help us eat them”

“I’m glad too” Boris answered, happily chewing on the cookies and sipping the coffee you had made.

“I was also making him a cake, so I’ll have to finish that and put it in the oven” you said, turning around to resume your work.

“I couldn’t find the cooking spray anywhere to grease the cake pan, so we’re gonna have to do it the old fashioned way” you shrugged, opening the fridge and reaching for a stick of butter.

“Can I help?” Boris asked, sounding like a little boy wanting to help mommy in the kitchen.

“Of course” you chuckled. “Can you grease the cake pan for me?”

“Sure” he responded, his accent thickening as his body got closer to yours in front of the kitchen counter. “So I just spread the butter on the inside, everywhere?”

“Exactly, and then you put some flour on top and make sure the whole cake pan is covered with a thin layer of flour, ok?”

“I can do that” Boris nodded. He did as he was told, and soon, the cake pan was greased and the batter was nicely deposited on it.

Boris helped you open the oven, chuckling at your worries that he’d burn himself. As soon as the cake was put in the oven and you had set the timer, Theo opened the front door.

He walked around looking for Xandra - it was weird that she hadn’t been home yet. But he saw Boris and you, which was more than enough to get him concerned - he knew Boris couldn’t see a girl doing “old fashioned girly things” (like cooking) and leave her alone. That foreigner boy was a little too flirty for Theo’s liking, and he wanted none of that to happen to his cousin.

He took Boris to the living room to talk more privately, leaving you in the kitchen to prepare the icing for the cake.

“Potter, she’s so beautiful! Your cousin?” Boris asked, nearly whispering. Too bad for him that you could hear it perfectly, and a hand quickly clamped over your mouth to stifle a chuckle.

“Yeah, Boris, she’s my cousin. She’s visiting for a few days. Why do you ask?” Theo answered, seeming annoyed. You didn’t even have to be looking at him to know he rolled his eyes so hard they nearly fell off his head.

“Would you mind if I kissed her? I don’t have to do more than kiss if you don’t want” he said, seeming a bit defensive. “But she’s so beautiful, I really want to kiss her, I never met a girl like her, so, uh, so женственный”

You blushed to yourself in the kitchen, stirring up the icing of the cake in order to keep normalcy - the noise from the whisk on the pot would be enough for them to pay you no attention at all. You had no idea what that last word meant, but it sounded like a compliment.

“Well, you don’t have to ask ME that, you can go ask her if she wants to kiss you” Theo spat, coming off jealous.

“Fine, you cranky” he answered. “But you better seem happier when I marry her” he added, as he walked towards the kitchen. “A woman like that has to have a good husband, and I make sure is me”

Boris entered the kitchen again as you were setting the icing bowl aside.

“Everything ok with Theo?” You asked, trying not to bring up anything you had heard from the living room.

“Da, he’s just cranky” Boris shrugged softly. “I said you were beautiful and he got jealous”

You laughed at his sincerity. “Really? You think I’m beautiful, then?”

“Totally, very beautiful. I asked if he would be mad if I kissed you” his right arm had ended up around your waist somehow, but it’s not like you were gonna swat it away. You enjoyed his touch.

“And what did he say?” You asked, turning your body to face him, your lips now dangerously close to his.

“I don’t really care. Can I kiss you?”

You nodded, chuckling and putting your hands to his cheeks, lightly pulling him down to compensate for his height.

Boris leaned in and kissed you very gently, as if you were made of sugar and could melt at the slightest touch of his lips. His arms were around your body, fingers lightly tracing the curve of your waist, his cold hands sending shivers to the hot bare skin of your belly.

His lips intertwined perfectly with yours, his tongue timidly slipping into your mouth as his hands grabbed your waist. You couldn’t help but faintly moan into the kiss and put your hand to his nape, fingers interlocking in his hair, bringing him closer. He was clearly trying to contain himself, and seemed utterly out of breath when you bit his lower lip maliciously.

When you broke the kiss, the look on his face was quite similar to when he used drugs: pupils dilated, eyes wide open, mouth slightly open and cheeks flushed. His palms were a bit sweaty and he muttered something in Russian that you couldn’t comprehend. You had gotten him wrapped around your finger - it must have been love at first bite.

⠀ꔫ⠀STAY⠀ꔫ

Pairing: Boris Pavilkovsky x Reader Genre: Fluff Warnings: None ig Synopsis: "Stay " "For how long?" "Is forever too long? " "Seems too short "

"Darling, I think I should go home" Boris told you, although his words betrayed his action as his arms tightened around your waist. You hummed in protest, snuggling closer to his chest, the slight smell of cigarettes invading your sense. He didn't smoke as much anymore. At least, not when he's with you. You were like his other drug. But stronger and you lasted longer. "No...." you protest, clinging to his arm to make sure he doesn't get up. Not that he would. Boris smiled fondly, looking down at you with vibrant eyes. His eyes has never felt as alive as it did when he was with you. Portraying a foreign kind of affection and devotion no one has ever seen. He kissed your forehead, feeling your warmth through his lips and he was intoxicated by the way you felt against him. You, in his arms, your body pressed against his. It felt like a miracle to be able to hold his entire world between his two arms. "You want me to stay?" His voice was low, calm, almost like a whisper against your temples. Your scent filled his senses, your hair tickling his face slightly while you nodded your head. "Yes." You affirmed. Boris stared at you. Your eyes were still closed, laying peacefully against his chest. He hoped you could hear how his heart beats in a rhythm for you. It only started to beat because of you. For you. It only beat in a way that said your name, only in a way that calls out for you. His eyes remained at your form, silently begging you to look at him. And as if his thoughts were connected to yours, you looked up. With those light eyes that has his heart skip a beat every fucking time. He smiled a you because he can't help it. You looked so ethereal like that. When you were looking at him, like there was anything in him worth looking at, it made him fall just a little deeper in love with you. "For how long?"

He had things to do. His father could be home any moment and he knew he'd be pisses if he wasn't home by then. He had weeks of missing assignments (that he couldn't give less fucks about) to catch up to. Hell, he promised Theo to hang out together tonight. There was so much things he should do but he'd rather be here, with you tangled in his arms. "Is forever too long?" your eyes shine like nothing he's ever seen. He swears it looked like the sun. The fucking sun. How can someone's eyes look like the goddamn sun, for god's sake? But, it did. To Boris, your eyes were captivating. It felt like the warm rays of sun and he was the cold little boy, sitting alone in the bench on a September afternoon. It warms him up in ways he couldn't explain. Not in English. Not in Polish. Not even in his own language. Oh, the things he would do just to keep them on him. He'd pray to any god that exist that you wouldn't look at anyone else like that. "Seems too short" Eternity seemed too short. It didn't feel like it was enough time to become one with you. To feel every inch of your body till he memorised every curve and every crook, to find out what your favourite dishes are and make them for you, to listen to all the songs that felt like you, to watch every sunset together and tell you how you're more beautiful than them. With you, forever sounded so short. He wanted something everlasting. Something that would not end even if the world did. Even if you've turned into nothing but ashes blown away by the wind, he wanted something that felt like you. That felt like now. Your smile engraved themselves in his soul, well, it was only ever yours to take, " I love you" You sigh contently, going back to laying your head on his chest. Those three words coming out from your lips shaped the world for you. A world where you ruled over every inch of the kingdom and he was beside you, letting you turn the world into ashes against your fingertips while he stood there, just wondering how he got so lucky to have you. "I love you too, kochanie" And he went to sleep with all the words he would never be able to say to you. How tragically beautiful it was to love and to be loved.

Hot take, “The Little Friend” by Donna Tartt deserves more recognition.

‼️SPOILERS AHEAD‼️

Compared to Donna’s other works (The Secret History & The Goldfinch) The Little Friend is not nearly as popular or recognized. In fact if I had a dollar for every time I’ve seen someone even mention the novel on social media I would only have two, which is extremely disappointing. As someone who has read all of Donna Tartt’s novels from cover to cover I have to say i expected this book to have gotten more attention in its time published. But what are some possible reasons for this?

Lack of substance and consistency to plot

The Little Friend fallows a young girl named Harriet. In the start of the book we are told that on Mother’s Day her brother was found dead in her backyard, Years later she decides to attempt uncovering the murder of her brother.

Throughout the book we get multiple P.O.Vs on occurring events. While this is what I tend to enjoy in books, especially books with complex plots like murder mysteries, the story starts diverging from the original storyline. As you read on the focus is no longer on Harriet’s brother’s death, but rather on multiple other story lines in which Harriet becomes mixed in with the Radcliffes. I don’t mean to say that this was not an important plot point but to say that it caused the main plot to be disregarded is an understatement. The story becomes more about Harriet and fixation on the Radcliffes than her trying to truly investigate her brothers death. And while I do understand why so much focus was put on the Radcliffes, the fact that much more investigation was not done was a bit disappointing. As in the end it turned out that the Radcliffes had not caused her brothers murder at all, but if Donna had approached this genera in a different way, could there have been more substance?

Queer characters and the effect they have on fan reciprocation

You may see the title for this section and ask, “but Corey, what does the presence of queer characters have to do with the reciprocation this book received from fans??”

It’s no secret that Donna Tartt’s literature attracts quite a large queer crowd. Whether the relationships between characters of the same sex are canon or fanon her fan base eats the dynamics up. Part of the appeal that her other two books have that The little friend lacks is the intimate relationships that the main character’s share with other characters in the books. For example, Boreo(Theo/Boris) in the goldfinch, or even Francis/Richard in the secret history. People love to see queer couples in media and literature, and it’s not far from common for Donna to incorporate some kind of representation in her books. Those who keep up with Donna’s work enjoy the complex relationships that the characters share with one another and the lack of this is likely one of the key reasons for The little friend not being as popularized as the others. In fact, The little friend lacks any main pairings at all. This may be due to the fact that unlike the characters in Donna’s other pieces, the characters in The Little friend are naive children and are not portrayed as anything more. They aren’t worried about relationships or love like helys older brother, pemberton, is and that’s due to the fact that there is simply no reason for them to. Helys infatuation for Harriet has little substance and is more a simple crush than anything els. Both the lack of queer relationships and lack of any meaningful romantic relationships at all play key parts in the reception of this book and why it was treated differently online when compared to her other books.

(Edit: Another thing I would like to add is the fact that whenever I come across a post about one of Donna’s books they usually hyper focus on the queerness of the characters. Which is funny because that’s never the main focus of any of the books, a good example is Theodore decker. Theo’s story is one about his life after his moms death and how he keeps on losing people he cares about but still moves on to be the person he was at the end of the novel, however that’s completely overshadowed by him and Boris’ intimate relationship with one another that is describe occasionally in the book.)

The Ending

Donna typically has open endings too to all her books, a knot that’s never fully tied, leaving the reader to ponder what could’ve been and wonder what might be next for the characters. In The goldfinch and The secret history I couldn’t stop thinking about the closing statements of these stories and what the characters had went through. However, with The little friend, the ending felt rushed, leaving plot points that had been introduced undeveloped. What ever happened to Lasharon? Did Eugene end up going to the police station? What ever happened with pemberton and Allison? While these may not seem important to some I believe that developing points like these would have given more substance to the Novel. This is a weaker point compared to the others presented, but I do feel as if having a more developed in depth plot could have served the book well.

What makes Harriet different?

Aside from being one of Donna’s youngest book protagonists yet, Harriet is not an unreliable narrator, rather a kid who her herself does not understand the gravity of the situations she is putting herself in. And throughout the book this is apparent as she pushes to do things that any other protagonist in Donna Tartt’s books would be less likely to go through with on their own. While this may make her look brave, it really displays how naive she is to everything going on in her life. She either takes everything with her whole heart or none of it at all,she’s not worried about fitting into norms that are set by people around her but she does try to modify her behavior for important figures in her life like Ida. And when things go south, she manages to push through rather than wallow in pain, even if it takes her some time to bounce back.

In conclusion…

Like all of Donna’s works, The little friend is a tragic masterpiece. And while it’s not perfect it does deserve its flowers. Flowers it still has not gotten. I won’t sit here and say that the lack of substance isn’t a major setback but I will say that this book deserves more love and recognition than it’s gotten. This is all my personal opinion and views and not everyone has to agree with me. If you disagree with anything said in this post I fully support your opinion and would love to hear your feedback

Did not proof read any of this 💔

Hey hi mmm....

Idk if you can do this type of fic request buttt

In a alternative universe what if Mugman and Bendy dated instead how would their story go? Would they even have kids? How would everyone react to that?

Sorry if you can't do this one, love your fics btw

I don't mind this types of request, and i will always answer them, it doesn't matter if they are weird, complicated, different from what I have, etc, I will always answer

But i have restrictions like incest for example :)

Here the answer for your question, and since Mugs is calm compared to Cup, Bnedy will take a different turn by trying to win life but in a bad way:

🎭 Alternate Universe: "Twisted Ink & Gentle Hearts"

Setting: A universe where the aftermath of their violent pasts has led everyone to take different paths—not of conflict, but of healing. Instead of being known for chaos, Mugman finds peace in art and cooking, and Bendy is trying to redefine himself beyond the Devil’s influence.

🌱 How It All Began

Bendy met Mugman after an incident where he was nearly ambushed by bounty hunters for a crime he didn’t commit. Mugman, who was passing through, stopped to help—not with violence, but with words and cleverness. It left Bendy stunned.

Used to being feared, Bendy was fascinated that someone like Mugman—kind, anxious, but incredibly brave—treated him like a person, not a threat. Mugman, in turn, was drawn to Bendy’s charm, complexity, and hidden vulnerability.

Their relationship started slowly. Late-night talks. Shared meals. Helping each other with nightmares they never spoke about aloud. The ink demon and the gentle twin, opposites on the surface, but alike where it mattered.

💞 The Relationship Dynamic

Mugman is the grounding force—nurturing, patient, but no pushover. He challenges Bendy when his temper flares and reminds him he's more than the dark reputation he carries.

Bendy is fiercely protective, openly affectionate, and constantly trying to prove he's not just a relic of his demonic past. Around Mugman, he becomes someone softer—teasing, playful, and deeply loyal.

Their love is the kind that grows, not explodes. It’s built on daily care: fixing coffee for the other in the morning, cuddling during storms, drawing each other as cartoons for fun.

👶 Would They Have Kids?

Yes—though not biologically. One day they stumble upon a young ink creature, abandoned and trembling in a wrecked part of town. Mugman insists on helping. Bendy, initially resistant, caves after the child curls up on his lap and calls him "Dad" instinctively.

They name her Celia, a hybrid of ink and magic—part innocence, part mystery. Over time, they adopt two more kids: Theo (a quiet bat-like boy) and Pepper (a firecracker who draws on the walls).

Their home becomes chaotic and filled with art, magic bursts, and laughter. Mugman handles discipline; Bendy spoils them. They make it work.

😲 How Everyone Reacts

Cuphead: At first, completely floored. "MUGSY?? With BENDY?!" But once he sees Bendy's loyalty and how genuinely happy Mugman is, he becomes their biggest supporter. ("You hurt my brother and I will throw hands, demon or not.")

Boris: Quietly supportive. He trusts Mugman and can see Bendy’s trying. It takes time, but he becomes a frequent visitor and helps babysit their kids.

Felix and Oswald: Lowkey ship it. Oswald finds the pairing chaotic but heartwarming. Felix is secretly touched watching Bendy become a good father.

The Quester Group: Surprised at first, but gradually accept it. Many of them didn’t even think Bendy was capable of love—not because he was evil, but because he didn’t believe he could be loved. Mugman proved them wrong.

🖤 Final Thought

Their love story isn’t flashy. It’s healing. Two broken people choosing each other, over and over, and slowly building something beautiful. A home. A family. A second chance.

chapter two

warnings: swearing, mild smut, smoking

lowercase intended

not proof read

part sixteen, chapter two: the movie

as i get get to the top step i look around for theo's room. i open a door at the very end of the hallway, and go step inside to see a room covered in music posters, and a bed thats unmade. as i step inside i see a fake bb belt on the floor. yep. this is definitely theo's room. i look around in his dresser drawers for a minute before finding a drawer full of pants. i dig through them, making sure to not unfold any of them, and eventually find a pair of pj shorts. these are definitely women's shorts. super short, flannel red print, and sparkly draw strings. i step outside his room and yell down into the living room, "theo! can i wear the red flannel shorts, they look like they're women's shorts?", i say holding them up inspecting them. "yeah sure, i think they're jamie's....or maybe they were sara's....or maybe kelsey's.", he yells back to me. damn okay theo i see you. i go back into his room and strip the sweatpants off of me. when i put on the shorts i realize whoever they belong to must either be a bit bigger than me, or they must really like baggy clothes. i have to tie the drawstring tight to keep them from falling down. i consider taking off boris sweater, but i figure it would be too bold to come downstairs in short shorts and a sports bra. i walk out of theo's room and make my way downstairs. i feel boris's eyes on me the whole time im walking down. i get to the living room and sit down on the couch, positioning myself in the same way i was sitting before i got up. i pull the blanket back over boris and i, and almost immediately his hand attaches back to my thigh likes its a magnet. i decide to not give him a reaction...for now. he tightens his grip around my thigh as he begins drawing small circles on it again with his thumb. he continues doing this for about 15 minutes. as i watch the movie im beginning to get utterly freaked out by it. one particular scene makes me jump into boris's arms like a child. i switch positions and crawl over him, propping my back up on the couches arm rest. i'm basically on top of him, im squeezed in between him and the arm rest, my ass half on his lap and half sinking in the sliver of space i've scooted my way into.

as soon as i get settled, his hand returns to my thigh once again, rubbing it slowly up and down. "is ok?", he whispers in my ear, sending shivering down my spine. i nod, not taking my eyes off the screen. "use your words. i making you nervous hm?", he whispers cockily in my ear. EXCUSE ME? i swear this man has me wrapped around his lengthy ass fingers. alright you fucker, my turn. i smile and lick my bottom slightly as i turn my head to meet his gaze. "oh no, your not making me nervous. i'm just wondering if my thigh is the only thing you can trace circles on.", i whisper innocently before turning my head right back around to watch the movie. i see his jaw slightly drop from the corner of my eye. he must have not expected my words, cause he's silent for the next thirty seconds. however, the silence doesn't last long, he brings his lips back to my ear, "trust me lalka, if i wasnt a gentleman, and potter wasnt here, i'd show you everything these fingers do.", he tells me, i can practically hear the smirk i'm sure is planted on his face. funny how his english is almost perfect when he's talking like this to me. "i'm sure you would. all talk, hm? maybe you should drop the gentlemen morale for a little while.", i whisper in a voice that's so low while my head is pointed to the tv i'm not even sure he can hear me. "i'll have you whining my fucking name, i can promise you that.", he says as he grips my thigh especially tight. OH? he definitely sees the expression on my face because i hear him let out a small chuckle. time to play a little game i like to call: how much self control does boris have. i reach under the blanket and grab his hand, slowly moving it up my inner thighs. right when his fingers are about to hit the spot i've been trailing them towards he moves his hand from my grip and trails back down my inner thigh, lightly pinching my skin as he does so. he lets out a low throaty chuckle and makes a "tsk" noise as he takes his free hand and turns my face towards his. his eye brows are furrowed and a smirk is on his face. alright. i'll try harder. i lean my head forward as if im going in for a kiss, then pass by his lips moving my head to his ear. "please bor?", i say in a whiny voice. he grabs my face immediately and turns my head to get access to my ear. "impatient are we? whiny girls don't get what they want. good girls who do what they're told do. are you going to be a whiny girl, or a good girl?", he says moving his hand up my thigh all the way under to my shirt to my left boob. "a good girl.", i say softly. i almost let a whimper escape my lips when i feel his cold hand palming my breast, but cover it up with a fake small cough so that theo doesn't hear. yes yes, i know theo knows about boris and i, but still im not tryna make him uncomfortable. "im sorry, i couldn't hear you.", boris says still beside my ear. i can feel his breath on my neck. this is absolutely positively making me feral. i repeat myself, only loud enough for boris to hear, "a good girl.". "that's better", he says before placing a small kiss on my neck and letting go of my face. ok so i lost that game. boris not only has self control, but he has apparently read the manual on exactly what to say to get me horny as fuck. also it's tweaking me out how good his English is when he's talking "dirty" to me. it's like a whole new boris has just emerged...and im heavily fuckin with it.

his hand continues to rest under my shirt as we watch the movie silently. i know he's having fun with this because every 10 minutes he brushes his fingers lightly across my nipples, and lets out a low chuckle as he sees my breath hitch. i'm gonna try something, bare with me. i lean forward a bit, moving my back from the are rest, and i pretend to be stretching forward. i bend far enough to touch my ankles and as i begin to sit back up, i let my hand lightly brush against his dick. i knew it. mans is rock fuckin hard. just as boris looks like he's going to say something, theo turns to us. "i'm gonna make popcorn, you two want any?", he asks getting up. boris quickly removes his hand from under my shirt as he and i simultaneously shake our heads no. i look back at the screen and see that the movie is over. as theo walks over to the kitchen, boris stands up, "i come back, don't worry.", he says moving a strand of hair out of my face. he smirks at me, then turns around to walk down a hallway on the left of the couch. that was certainly interesting. my face feels hot, and the rest of my body feels cold from boris's absence. i take my phone off of the side table and check the time, 6:49 pm. as i begin to turn my phone over, it buzzes.

boris

*one image attachment*

you driving me crazie.

i see the notification on my lock screen and immediately look behind me to check if theo's lurking near me. i see him in the kitchen, fidgeting with the microwave. i smile and take a deep breath as i open my phone and press my "messages" app. i open boris's contact. holy fuck. let's just ignore the typos in the text and talk about the picture on my screen. boris is standing in front of a bathroom mirror, holding up his shirt enough for me to see the outline of his dick pressing up against his jeans. my eyes stare at his jeans for a good moment, but something else catches my attention. i don't know i didn't notice the first night we met, and he got into the pool only wearing his boxers. but he has a tattoo on the very bottom of his stomach right above his dick.

(reference pic at bottom of post)

this, my friends, is the straw that broke the camel's back. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO NOT BE FOAMING AT THE MOUTH WHEN I SEE THISSSS. i text him back quickly.

you driving me crazie.

your the one teasing me.

read 6:52 pm

he comes back into the living room, phone in hand, shaking his head and smiling. he sits back down beside me, pulling me down and laying the back of my head on his lap. "i didn't know you have a tattoo.", i say looking up at him while he runs his fingers through his hair. he looks down at me smirking, "you like it, eh?", he says to me. "it's sexy.", i tell him in a low voice as theo comes back into the living room, popcorn in hand. boris leans down and kisses me softly on the lips, before breaking away. "maybe i let you taste it later.", he says in a voice barley above a whisper. "let her taste what?", theo asks as he plops himself back down on the chair and throws a piece of popcorn to popchyk. boris looks up at him with a smile, "my tattoo.", he say nonchalantly with a shrug. my face turns bright red and i prop myself up on my elbows, before turning around to look at theo. "oh cmon dude i don't wanna know that.", theo says crinkling his face. "you ask potter, i tell you.", boris says with a chuckle. "lucy don't do it, if you lick him you may get some foreign disease.", theo says to me with a smile. "noted, thank you theo.", i say with a giggle before plopping my head back down on boris' lap. boris looks down at me and winks with a smile before looking back up at the tv. i hear two people talking from the speakers and assume theo put on another movie, but i decide to continue staring at boris as he watches the movie. after about five minutes of just sitting and watching boris, my eyes feel heavy. i decide it's okay to close them for a while. i drift into a dream as i hear the tv in the back of my mind.

i wake up to boris shaking my shoulder gently. i open my eyes. " you want smoke with me and potter?", he says with a smile when he sees my eyes open. i crinkle my eyebrows in suspicion of his words. do i want smoke with theo and him? my half asleep mind fills in the words absent from boris's sentence. i sit up and rub my eyes, "do i want to smoke with you guys?", i ask him yawning. "yes. i say it wrong?", he asks me as he combs out my messy bangs with his fingers. "no, not really. i understand what you're saying, but make sure to say 'do you want to' instead of 'you want', if you're ever asking anyone else that. if you don't they may think your trying to fight them.", i say with a giggle. he looks confused, "smoke means fight?", he asks genuinely interested. "sometimes it does.", i say stretching. theo chimes in, "i've already tried to explain it to him, he doesn't understand it.", theo says as he appears out of the kitchen holding a Gatorade bottle. boris just shrugs and helps me off the couch. "what time is it?", i ask boris as i put on my shoes. he glances down at his phone, "9:23", he tells me. "oh shit", i say remembering my plan of going home at 9:30. "what's wrong?", boris asks looking at my worried. "no nothing, i just have to go home. i wanna be there when my mom gets home.", i tell him grabbing my phone from the side table. "i take you home, we can smoke on the way.", boris says with a smile. "thank you bor.", i say leaning up and pressing a quick peck on his cheek. "i'm coming too, you two are not about to smoke without me.", theo says before heading to the front door. boris and i follow behind him as he walks out the door, and up to boris's car. we all get in and theo reaches in the glove box, pulling out a small pre rolled joint. he lights it and takes a few puffs before handing it to me. i lean back in my seat and inhale the smoke, releasing it from my nose after a second or two. we all are pretty much silent as boris drives, we pass around the joint until we reach my house. "see ya tomorrow!", i tell them as i hop out of the car. i go up to boris's window and kiss him. hopefully i see him tonight.

a/n: forgive me for this part, but i must give the people what they yearn for.💋

jegulus:

unspeakable: James is swept up in machinations beyond his comprehension, and before his eighteenth birthday he has a Dark Mark on his arm and an innocent death on his conscience. (death eater james potter / spy au / fake dating) [current wc: 465K, updates every saturday]

bitten: Regulus is a bored, sullen vampire. James is in the wrong place at the wrong time. (vampire regulus x human james / muggle au) [current wc: 41k, ongoing]

bittersweet: Regulus Black flees his abusive family on the brink of death. Where does he go? To his brother, of course. His brother, who’s living with his best friend: James. James, who he falls in bed with as soon as they’re alone. Oops? (secret relationship / summer fling) [current wc: 32k, ongoing]

oneshots:

burning: He wanted to break James. To warp him until he was unrecognizable... and his. That was part of it. He knew Lily had never seen this James. No one had. Beautiful and hungry, red with rage and desire like a wrathful angel. [wc: 3,704]

sucker: It was almost like a kiss, wasn't it? [wc: 1,016]

jegulily:

icarian: "Look at her, and look at me." Regulus held the picture up beside his face, like Lily was looking right past James, right at him. She saw him everyday in the corridors. Did she suspect? Would she ever know about this? "You can't just have one, can you? You want both." James stared at him, silent as a stone. He wanted this conversation to be over. Too bad. "This is the kind of greed they say is sinful in the bible." [wc: 14k, ongoing]

Theo and Boris Rant ✬

Theo and Boris are a pair that I find so aggravating but I cherish all the same. They are horrible for each other. If not for Boris , Theo most likely wouldn't have found his way into drugs ESPECIALLY at a time like that. If not for Theo, Boris wouldn't have to constantly be making sure this kid doesn't harm himself and others ESPECIALLY when it's not his job to do that. But at the same time, they are PERFECT for each other??? Finding one another right when Theo needed a companion the most. Being there for each other, looking after the other, taking care of each other. And by taking care I mean light things like providing food, shelter, and even medicine at times when the other needed it - not even that it could be other things like emotional support and comfort at the darkest of times. Theo and Boris rampaging in the outskirts of Vegas with nothing but each other and wind, sand, and stars to keep them company. Theo and Boris accompany one another at very difficult and confusing times, such as: The loss and grieving of Theo's mom, the disgusting acts of Boris' father, the serious debt Theo's dad is in, and the confusing thoughts and feelings they confide in each other about. Theo and Boris are so beautifully awfully complex--and how could they not be when they are caught in complex lives themselves, constantly living in unfamiliar circumstances that they'd fallen into? With each other, they can explore and figure out these sickly confusing situations. OR they don't even have to explore and figure it out, at times.. just being in comforting silence with each other is enough.

📸 ATP official website

The doubles semifinal in the Madrid Challenger also kicked off with the first seeds, Harri Heliovaara/Henry Patten (hereby referred to as Heliopatten), who defeated Theo Arribage/Victor Vlad Cornea 6-4, 6-7(4), [10-7] in the first round and Boris Arias/Federico Zeballos 6-3, 6-2 in a contrasting manner for the quarterfinals, faced another interesting challenge in another in-form pair in Brazilians Fernando Romboli/Marcelo Zormann, who stunned first seeds Nicolas Barrientos/Rafael Matos 7-6(6), 6-7(2), [10-5] in a competitive encounter. While this was expected to be a competitive match, this turned out to come down to their point construction under pressure.

Even though both pairs had their fair chances in various deciding points, they still managed to hold their serves. This was also the case for Heliopatten, where they scrambled to execute the final volley before Heliovaara successfully did it to hold 4-3. Without any further ado, Heliopatten finally started to get some groove toward the end of the first set, where they dominated through the net as it overwhelmed F. Romboli/M. Zormann along the way. Somehow, the Brazilians got broken for the set a point after their +1 forehand error, which was topped by H. Patten's forehand return ace to convert the set point to 6-4, setting themselves further ahead in this match.

Finnverse love languages headcanons

Pairing: Finn Wolfhard + Finnverse characters x f!reader

Summary: how Finn and each of his characters would display their affection towards you, according to the 5 love languages theory.

Warnings: mostly fluff, a bit of spice 🎀🌶️ (still sfw)

Love note from Nina: I saw y’all in my poll wanting more Finnverse posts. Here you go, lovelies 💕 more Olivia and Mike content coming soon too!

Finn Wolfhard (himself)

Main love languages: quality time + gifts

Being as busy as he is, Finnie considers time to be an important and scarce resource in his life. That being said, he’ll make time for you as much as he possibly can - even if that means taking an early flight and/or staying up all night. When you two are together, he’s 100% yours: barely touches his phone and doesn’t zone out while you two are talking. He loves to take you to cute coffee shops and museums, as well as tennis or basketball games. He’s not very pda oriented, but will hold your hand at all times while you’re out together.

Since he travels so much because of filming, he can’t always be present for special occasions, and feels very guilty about it. So, whenever he comes back from a work trip, he’ll surely show up at your front door with a box of gifts for you. Small jewelry, clothes, exotic snacks, perfume, you name it, he’ll bring it. Sometimes, he’ll even ask you directly for suggestions on what to buy for you (“Babe, I’m going to France next month. What would you like from there? Anything specific?”). He just loves you so much and wants you to feel safe in your relationship, even if he can’t physically be with you as much as he would like (which is 24/7).

Boris Pavlikovsky

Main love languages: physical touch + gifts

Your favorite foreign is naturally quite touch oriented, that you’ve always known, but it isn’t something merely sexual - of course, he loves to pin you down on his bed and make you his, loves to grope your body and leave small purple marks on your neck. But he’ll basically never not be touching you. Expect hand holding at all times when you two are out on the street; an arm around your waist when at a party or any social gathering, little pecks to your cheeks and lips every now and again. He likes to trace your features as you lie down on his lap, as well as massaging your hands or your feet when he has the chance. “You’re so perfect, my love, I like to touch because I feel that you are real and not just my dream, yes?”, he’ll say. Ugh, you love this boy.

Overall, Boris wants his girl to feel taken care of. He’ll always ask if you need anything, if you’re craving any specific food or ran out of any of the beauty products you usually use. He will always look for those in order to get them for you, and if he can’t provide something that you want, obviously, he’ll steal it. He’s been kicked out of a few convenience stores for shoplifting your favorite snacks and cannot set foot in Sephora anymore, but still gets Theo to help him get things for you. You don’t ask him for all this stuff, but he wants to display his love for you in a way that he thinks will make you feel happy. Sometimes he steals random stuff too, like a book or a keychain, just for you to have it, even if it’s something silly or not something you actually need. It’s adorable, you’re just afraid of him getting in trouble for it.

Mike Wheeler

Main love languages: quality time + physical touch

Being the party leader, Mike loves to plan things ahead of time and make sure everything will happen perfectly - that extends and even intensifies when it comes to dates with you. He always comes up with new ideas for you two to spend some time together: stargazing, looking for shapes in clouds, having a little picnic, reading the same book out loud to each other (taking turns in each paragraph), movie nights, game nights, biking around together. When you’re out of town and away from him, he’ll call you every day and keep talking with you on the phone for hours until his mom yells that she’ll make him pay the bill. He’s always looking for fun things to do with you, and can’t wait to tell you about them. He just loves you, and you’re his girlfriend, so it’s not, like, weird, right?

When you two are in the same room, any stranger that comes by can immediately tell that you’re a couple. His arm is usually around your shoulder/waist, or his thumb is caressing the back of your hand gently, or he’s peppering your forehead in kisses. Out of the Finnverse bunch, Mike is the most touchy-feely, and is always looking for an excuse to touch you. If your parents or his parents aren’t home, you are going to casually give each other a call and come over to whoever’s house is empty for a good couch make out session. At parties, there’s always a point in the evening in which the gang will look around and you two will be nowhere to be found - sneaking into a more private area for some intense hooking up is still frequent, and Mike will savor the moment as much as possible, as long as his pretty girl is comfortable, of course.

Miles Fairchild

Main love languages: acts of service + gifts

When you two started dating and Miles gently kissed your hand saying he’d do anything for you, he meant it more seriously (and literally) than you’d expect. In fact, you need to be careful with what you allow him to do for you - you complained about this one girl at school one day and Miles weirdly asked you if you wanted her to vanish. You picked up on what he meant and quickly denied, stating you only wanted her out of your life, not life itself. The girl ended up transferring schools shortly after, but rumor has it she’s still alive (though maybe traumatized). He’ll do anything for you, no matter what or how.

Not being very good with expressing himself through words, Miles also sees gifts as a non-verbal way of communicating: whether it is to express his love for you, apologize or prepare you for something special (meeting Flora for the first time, for example), he’ll shower you in gifts. Expensive ones, mostly. His family’s wealth is at your full disposal, according to him - he’ll sometimes show you magazines with pictures of houses or cars and ask you which ones you like best, which style of decoration you find the most beautiful. He’s crazy for you and intends to marry you as soon as you both finish your education, so he wants to have everything perfectly picked out to cater for your tastes before he even proposes.

Trevor Spengler

Main love languages: acts of service + quality time

Ever since your first encounter ever, you know that if anything happens, you can call Trevor. If your car’s not starting, if you broke the heel of your favorite shoe, if you need someone to help you put together a new piece of furniture. Nowadays, you won’t even have to ask - Trev will notice something’s in need of repair, for instance, and offer to fix it for you. It’s his pleasure to know he’s being helpful and releasing you from any concerning little things that come up. He wants his girl to be able to relax and focus on what’s important - he’ll take care of the rest, no problem.

When he’s not all tangled up in his ghostbusting duties, my dear, this boy is attaching himself to you by the hip. That includes driving you anywhere you need, taking you to the movies, eating dinner at a cute restaurant, anything you want, really. He’ll educate himself on any special interest of yours in order to spend more time with you, whether it’s by accompanying you to any related event or just talking about it in general. All of his friends know you from the very beginning, and his mom and Phoebe are also used to seeing you hang out at their house in weekdays, ‘cause Trev ain’t waiting for the weekend to spend time with his princess. Lucky usually makes fun of him for being so clingy, but you’re not complaining - his company is your favorite, and he’s always on board to whatever weekend activities you have in mind. He’s a “let’s go?” “let’s go!” kinda guy and you love that about him.

Ziggy Katz

Main love languages: words of affirmation + acts of service

Ziggster is pretty vocal on how he feels about you: he’s always calling you pet names, telling you how beautiful you are, saying that he loves you more than anything else in the world. You two exchange hoodies quite often, and whenever he returns one of yours (because it no longer smells like you), you reach for the front pocket - there’s always going to be a little love note in there, something along the lines of “Don’t forget how much I love you (and also that you’re hot as fuck). Love, Ziggy”. He sometimes draws little stick figures and say that it’s the two of you, usually kissing or playing the same guitar. His morning texting game is also amazing, he usually wishes you a good day, says you’re beautiful inside and out and sends a few tiktok videos that he curated for you to watch as you get ready in the morning. You find it adorable, and he never gets tired of making you feel special.

Ziggy also really supports your dreams, and when you told him you’d like to start creating YouTube content, he was overjoyed at the possibility of helping out his beloved girlfriend. He taught you how to set up lights, which microphone you should get, how to write your titles to make more people click on your videos. The editing is on him, you didn’t even have to ask. He got his followers on HiHat to support your channel as well, so you kick-started with a small faithful audience. Whenever you are out in a nice restaurant or something like that, he’s eager to take your pictures - and he’s actually very good at it! He directs you really well and always gets your best angle (“Not that it’s hard, any photo is going to be perfect when the main focus is this beautiful!”).

Kinktober 2023 #4

Pairing: Boris/Theo

Fandom: The Goldfinch

Prompt: Thigh Riding

Synopsis: As Boris and Theo spend another night alone in Boris’ empty house, higher than usual with a couple of beers in their systems, they get up to an activity that isn’t usually the norm for them, something that they’re sure to forget by morning and do again some other fucked up night.

[anomalmoth]

The Goldfinch - Donna Tartt

I read The Goldfinch in February of this year (2023) and it immediately became my favorite!! I reckon Theo as my personal and only son, I related to him so much words wouldn't be enough to describe it. I loved the main themes of the story which where of course art (another big love of mine) and the value we give things wheter it is of historical importance or we associate them to specific moments or people in our life. I loved Theo's relationship with Boris as well, it's like they found each other, I mean, come on, they literally had the same issues and what I loved the most is the fact that their relationship can't just simply be described - there was not a word for us - and honestly it's my favorite dynamic between pairings. I think that the story tells about the importance of the people we meet during our lifetime, too. If you look at it, if it weren't for the "friendship" between Theo and Boris, Theo would've never got his precious painting back where it was supposed to be.

I really liked the movie transposition, especially in the first half and the cinematogrophy? *POOF* Wow spectacular! The main different thing is the fact that tale and plot do not coincide, but I think it works well for the movie comparing it to the book, which actually follows the chronological order of events. And *of course* they changed the finale, it doesn't have anything to do with the original plot but I understand that they probably didn't have much time left to film so it's fine, the book still exists as its own!

[sparklygraves]

love this ques & curious to see others’ answers!!

well so far I think we just saw them together at the pre-wedding party & they seemed to get along (a bit too well for Theo’s liking :P)-- Boris draped all over her, Pippa laughing at whatever fun nonsense Boris was talking... 

I feel like they are immediately charmed by each other-- but there may be some jealousy on Boris’ side-- cuz he knows Pippa is the one Theo used to write lovelorn letters to back in Vegas...

so Boris would probably go over the top to seem casual & charming & maybe even seductive-- to make Theo jealous/gain some sense of power.

but I’d say his charms don’t work on Pippa-- romantically anyway!

but as friends-- hellz ya!

they’re basically Theo’s only 2 friends in the world & I bet would put their heads together to conspire to make his life better-- but that may involve pranking him to get him out of his shell.

I feel like Pippa’s quieter than Boris but just as fiendish & they would make a formidable pair!!

What do you think the friendship between Boris and Pippa would be like?

[thegoldfinchsource]

Me! You have me!
