Asexual Evan who sexualizes himself, and Barty is the one to let him know that it's okay and he doesn't have to force himself

angst always gets me, ask and I shall deliver✨

They've been dating for a month.

In this month, Barty learns a lot of things about Evan. Barty learns Evan likes to tease, learns the way his body moves when he's flirting, the tone on his voice, every single tone of his voice actually. Learns his nervous tics and the way he snorts if he laughs too hard. Barty feels unable to do anything other than look at Evan at all times.

He also learns Evan likes to kiss. He likes to kiss a lot, passionately, all tongue and bites and hands tugging eagerly at hair. Barty loves Evan's hands on his hair. Loves Evan's lips on his. Fuck, Barty feels like he could eat Evan whole with how much he loves him. Devour him until there's nothing left.

They haven't gone anywhere further than kissing though, and fuck if he isn't dying to get Evan naked on his bed. So he tries.

It is a good night, they had easy classes, a good studying session, and are currently making out in Barty's bed. Things get weird the moment he takes Evan's shirt after his own. He knows Evan, has learnt every single thing about him, and something is off. The eagerness on his kisses is different, less passionate even if as intense. He isn't actively seeking contact anymore, just taking it. His gasps sound false suddenly, so Barty reels back and looks at him.

Evan looks as perfect as always, like a fucking angel fallen from heaven right into his bed. His breathing hard and his bare chest sweaty.

"Why'd you stop?" he asks confused, and Barty only looks at him for a bit.

"Is everything okay? Do you want to keep going?" He asks back, because one can never be too sure, and he's not about to fuck up their first time. They're laying side by side looking at each other, still in a tangle of limbs. Evan's brows shoot up in disbelief.

"What do you think?" He asks with a smile, a hand tangling in Barty's hair. It doesn't look like his smiles. This is— no, something's definitely wrong. It feels like an ick he can't quite scratch.

"I don't know, that's why I asked" he stops Evan from pulling him closer. Keeps looking at him, trying to find what is going on. Then, Evan's jaw clicks, and Barty knows immediately. He knows because he's spent their last month, fuck, their last years, learning every single movement on Evan's body. He's not answering, so Barty talks again "you don't want it" he tries to reel back, and is fastly drawn back closer.

"No, I— I can do it, I can do this for you" Evan's behaviour changes so suddenly it feels like whiplash. He sounds almost desperate "I can be good for you come on, take me, take what you want" Evan's mouth is on his, then on his neck, and for a second he gets distracted again because fuck that feels good, but soon enough he pushes him back again.

"No, hey, Ev" Barty tries. Evan is a mess of mumbles.

"I'll be good, I can do it" he repeats grabbing at Barty through wet eyes. Oh. Oh hell no.

"Evan" he tries, and Evan only becomes more eager, climbing on top of him, unbuttoning his jeans "Evan stop" his hands come to grab his. Then Evan looks at him, really looks at him. "I don't want this if you don't"

"I thought I—"

"You don't have to do anything you don't want to" Barty assures, and finally the tears come. He lets go of Evan's hands and watches as he tries to hide his face away, still sitting on top of him.

It takes a while to calm down, and by the time it happens they're both sitting cross legged each on one end of the bed, facing the other.

"I don't... I don't like sex" Evan says when asked.

"Okay" Barty simply says "then we won't do that" Evan looks up, brows furrowed, pained look on his eyes.

"Barty, I won't like it, never have wanted it and I don't think I ever will"

"It's fine, then we'll never have sex" he shrugs. It's okay, he only wants Evan if he wants it too. "But, uhm, you've had other partners, right? Did you..?"

"Yeah, and I hated every part of it" Evan admits looking away. Barty feels the need to kill every single one of his ex's.

"You don't have to do that with me, I don't want you to do anything you don't want to" Evan looks even more confused than before "We don't have to kiss if you don't like it either"

"No, I— Uhm... I like that" his cheeks are turning red, his smile coming back, and this time Barty believes him. "I like it a lot, actually"

"Great because I like that too. A lot." Barty smiles back.

And maybe there is a lot to talk about, a lot of lines to mark down so they aren't crossed, but for now they lay in bed and kiss.

A lot.

I'm back :)

I accidentally got super attached to rosekiller having a foster daughter (my oc) who they end up adopting.

Thoughts on Barty and Evan as parents?

Hello again! I have too many thoughts on this, let's see if im able to make it make sense hehe

First of all, they are the best girl dads, they'll take their kid to all fun places, buy her all the sparkly rainbow stuff she wants, dye her hair if she asks (with non toxic non permanent dye), give her like a whole sleeve of temporal tattoos (because she wants to be like her dads!) and seriously that little girl is the most loved child in the whole world.

They are in the mothers group chat of the school and actually use it! All the mothers are drooling for the hot pair so if they propose an activity for the kids it's easy to make everyone agree. On the same note, the teachers judged them a lot at first because they're dad's that young?? Looking like full on criminals??? But after a bit the teachers get how important the kid is for them and see them as they are: the best parents she could have!

They teach self defense to the little kid and you'll see a six year old dressing in a full pink dress, a shiny plastic tiara and tiny combat boots kicking a boy in the crotch for being mean while her parents are trying not to laugh in the distance because that's their little girl!

She has an insane amount of stuffed animals she sleeps with, but not cute bunnies or bears, these are like defective plushies, a pink bear with its head backwards or a white kitty missing a button eye, every single plushie is as weird and unnerving as the one before. She finds all of them super cute.

They read her bedtime stories and let her come up with the ending, oh, do you want the dragon to run away with the princess? Done. Do you want the prince to fall halfway up the tower? Sure sweetheart, whatever you want <3

They have weekly tea parties where Evan and Barty have to dress up too so if you walk into that house on a Sunday you'll find two menacing young adults full of piercings and tattoos dressed in a pink tul skirt and colorful makeup. If you dare say something about it, you'll face the same fate and become part of the tea party.

And I think that's all..? I don't know, I'll probably come up with something else later

Do you think bipolar Barty would ever cheat on asexual Evan, when he's having an episode and craves what Evan denies him.

(Going based off your recent post discussing the two)

Ughh I have mixed feelings with this because I hate with all my being the cheating trope but I also think it's doomed to happen for them. Only once.

It happens on an episode, he's been like this for almost a week and Barty is not even looking for it, but one day he gets to a party in another common room and someone flirts with him and he just goes with it until he's gone so far there's no turning back from it.

He doesn't tell Evan right away either, but Evan knows something's up because Barty is not talking to him. Barty does tell him though, begging for forgiveness and promising it won't ever happen again. Now it's Evan's turn to not talk.

They don't talk for weeks, Evan won't even look at him if he can avoid it (which is a lot considering they're in the same dorm room) and Barty knows it's his fault, he can't blame it on his disorder because that is only an explanation, it does not justify his actions. Nothing can justify what he's done.

Evan feels betrayed, all the built trust has been broken and he just wants to curl up and cry. This was something he had to work a lot to stop worrying about, they talked about it, Barty promised he didn't need anyone else, Barty promised he loved him. Now he can only feel like he's not good enough, like a fool. All the work they put into this for nothing.

He's angry too, angry at himself and at Barty.

It gets to a point Regulus, Dorcas and Pandora have to interfere with how bad it's getting for both of them and work as mediators for a talk because this shit is hurting the whole group, and all of them watch as chaos unfurls and Evan screams. Evan. He doesn't scream, he's the composed one, Evan does never scream.

They break up only to get back together after a couple months but it is not the same, it can never be, and Barty is aware Evan will never trust him again. Not fully.

hey! i saw you were taking writing requests, so if you're still doing that i would like more ace evan and bipolar barty

(i like a mentally ill character/a-spec person ship? that's gay? this never happens! [sarcasm])

Yes! I like myself a complex dynamic and these two for sure are one so a bit more on them <3

There are a couple indicators Evan has learnt to see to anticipate a manic episode. The first one is Barty becoming more impulsive. He talks a lot more, has no filter and does exactly what he wants to do, says things that don't make a lot of sense. The second one is Barty being more horny than usual (which is a lot to say).

They have their limits, their no crossing lines perfectly marked, but he also knows Barty's brain blurs a lot when he's like this, and he has learnt it will take more denying than it normally would for him to stop kissing or touching.

So now, once he tracks Barty having an episode, he completely avoids kissing. Is it the best option? Maybe not, but it is the one he's most comfortable with.

Barty doesn't like it at all because he just wants a kiss, and they fight, they scream, and then he bolts God knows where until he or Regulus find him doing shit he definitely shouldn't do.

Evan would love to be able to give Barty what he needs, but he's not. He won't. Still, he hates how much it affects their relationship even if they both think it doesn't. Of course it fucking does, Barty is the most sexual person you'll ever meet and Evan can barely tolerate touching his own dick less so his boyfriend's.

Barty always apologizes once he's feeling better. Sometimes they avoid talking about the things gone wrong, sometimes they're able to talk about it, but there are always apologies to be made, and that they do.

Rosekiller prompt:

Maybe one (or both of them? Because honestly I can see it going either way) worrying about how they express affection not being enough for the other?

Can you tell my favorite genre is hurt/comfort?

oh they absolutely would worry about that!

Evan worries about not being enough and Barty about being too much, not sure what the other needs even if they balance each other out just as they are.

Barty is all touchy and loud and big gestures, screaming his love at any given chance while Evan is more quiet with his love, he pays attention to the things Barty struggles with and tries to help without being asked, he takes care of him, loves him soft and kind when Barty loves with teeth and claws.

And oh, Evan loves Barty more than anyone else, Evan loves Barty enough to try to match him. So he tries, Evan tries loud for a bit, tries to touch him more often even if he isn't all that comfortable with it, tries big gestures even if he feels stupid through all of it.

Barty tries quiet too, tries to suppress his muchness and his loudness and love without drawing blood, and he feels horrible the whole time. It feels wrong.

They are wrong. Don't work. Can't work.

"stop trying not to be you" Evan says one day "you're acting weird, be loud again"

Barty feels stuck in place as the words leave Evan's mouth. Oh.

"I— I thought you— You tried too"

"Was it good?"

"Not at all" Barty admits "loud doesn't suit you"

Barty reassures Evan he's enough, and Evan reassures Barty he's not too much.
