Summary: Steve thought that having Billy writhing under his touch, begging for more was ever better than anything else. Well, he was wrong.

Also on AO3 >>

::::::::::

“Baby,” Billy sighed, burying his fingers into Steve’s hair. “You’re so—oh god—you’re so good.”

Steve hummed satisfied, Billy’s dick in his mouth, tongue pressing against the front of it, then moving it up, up, up on it against the sensitive head, making Billy shiver and buck his hips. Steve gently pressed him back to the mattress, letting go of his dick to look at him.

He knew the sight would be beautiful but he never could get enough of it.

Billy his jaw slack, panting, looking back at him his eyes pleading for him to take his dick back to his mouth. A quiet plea escaped his mouth, “Please.”

Steve smiled softly and kissed the skin covered with soft curls just next to Billy’s dick, his cheek brushing against the hard shaft. “You know how much I like you?”

Billy squeezed his eyes closed and groaned. “Not any of that goo now, Harrington!”

Something made a flip in Steve’s chest. Nowadays Billy called him by his surname only when he was especially frustrated, and having him naked in his bed, clad into his expensive sheets and calling him Harrington made Steve feel all mushy.

That he was the reason Billy writhed like that, desperate for more, begging —it was better than anything.

Even better than the moment when he dipped his slick dick carefully inside Billy, bit by bit, slowing down whenever Billy grimaced and waiting for him to loosen his muscles all the while kissing him lazily, their tongues lapping against each other. Sure, it was good, magnificent even. Crossing their fingers together as he moved slowly back and forth inside Billy, getting lost in the blue of his eyes. Both of them panting in unison as he finally sped up the pace, Billy grabbing his own dick when they were getting closer and finally spilling his load on his abs while Steve reached his own release inside him.

Even better than laying on the bed in the aftermath, Billy’s head resting on his chest, feeling his hot breath on his skin. Brushing his arm with his fingers, feeling the heat of his body against his as Billy was wrapped around him, all the way to his leg wrapped around Steve’s.

Even better than…

“Love you.”

Steve’s head went blank from any thoughts at Billy’s barely audible words. He processed the meaning for a while, as if he hadn’t wanted to say the words for a long time now. “Wait. Are you telling me you're in…”

“You heard me,” Billy mumbled against Steve’s skin.

Something warm and fuzzy bloomed in Steve’s chest and his skin rippled in goosebumps. “Wow.”

“’s that all you have to say?” Billy grumbled.

“No!” Steve exclaimed, squeezing Billy tighter against him and placing a kiss on his forehead. “I love you too, gorgeous,” he continued, his words warm and tender.

Billy squeezed him tighter in return, pushing his hand under Steve’s back for a tighter grip and kissing his chest. “Wanted to say that for a while,” he whispered.

“Wanted to say them for a while, too.”

Billy raised up to lean on his elbow and looked at Steve. A small smile tugged his lips, the kind Steve loved to see on his face. It was as genuine as Billy could get, vulnerable and baring his insides to him like to no one else, ever. “You know what that means?” he asked, brushing his nose against Steve’s.

“I’m stuck with you for good then,” he whispered, and lifted his head to reach Billy’s lips for a soft kiss.

Billy smiled against his lips. “Yeah. You’re never getting rid of me,” he said before kissing Steve again.

“Don’t ever want to,” Steve replied, running his fingers on Billy’s spine.

“Good,” Billy whispered against his lips before melting into another kiss. “But don’t think I want something more right now.”

Steve knew what Billy meant; a joint mortgage, a puppy, a ring in his finger, six nuggets running around… They’d talked about all of those. But his words did mean that he wasn’t afraid of those things if they one day got to any of them.

And maybe that was better than anything. Even better than…

I’m With the Band Part 32

Words: 2.1k

I used this video of Bondy’s tour of the tour bus for inspiration when I wrote this part! 😂

I’m With the Band Masterlist Main Masterlist

It's a four hour drive up to Newcastle and by the time we arrive I'm feeling irritable. All I'd wanted to do was slip in my EarPods, sit back and zone out whilst blasting out my Arctic Monkeys playlist but Larry had other ideas. It was a good job that we arrived when we did as I'd have been tempted to wrench open the taxi door on the middle of the A1 and throw myself out on to the tarmac.

"If you come out with one more tour ground rule I think I'm gonna scream," I complain as I see a sign for Newcastle City Centre. "What're you expecting me to do? Sit in the tour bus on my own for three weeks whilst you lot are out having the time of your lives?"

"It's not like that at all Bells," Larry tries to placate me. "And I'm not the only one making all these rules anyway."

"Oh? So who is it then?" I ask, but before he can even reply I'm attempting to answer my own question. "It's Van isn't it? Oh god... I can just imagine. He always used to be such a control freak when he was younger and I bet that's not changed. I'm sure he's a nightmare when you're on the road... likes everything done his way I suppose."

"Actually it wasn't Van... it was your mum and dad."

This shocks me, making me fall silent whilst I mull it over. I've been away from home for over a week now and the only contact I've had with my parents was an extremely rushed phone call from my dad as he was on his way to a meeting after I'd texted him begging for an allowance top up, and a brief FaceTime call to my mum that got cut off by a poor connection after five minutes. She'd not called me back. Maybe they were both too busy enjoying a quiet life free from my frequent dramas.

"What? Mum and dad actually rang you? They can barely be arsed to talk to me!"

"Nah, Aunty Sarah rang my mum to find out if you'd been behaving..." Larry gives me a pointed look before continuing. "It's just a good job that none of the parents go on insta isn't it?"

"Portia deleted it!" I quickly cry but Larry remains unimpressed.

"Once something's been put online it never really goes away though does it? I just can't believe Sam was okay with it all. With his career flying the way it is you'd think he'd be trying to maintain a squeaky clean image." He looks slightly puzzled whilst I try to suppress a smirk. "I really thought he'd be mad with ya... thought we'd have to send Bond in to try and talk him round. Still don't know how you managed that one."

"You're really surprised he couldn't resist my charm?" I laugh, quickly distracted as the taxi pulls into a car park and I see a large double decker bus parked up with a small crowd gathered around outside.

When I scan the group I immediately recognise a tall floppy-haired, black-clad figure, an unexpected fizz of excitement shooting through me. I've not seen or heard from Van since I came back from Manchester as he'd travelled up to Newcastle a day early. He'd told Larry he was travelling ahead to meet up with an old friend who was in town and I'd thought nothing of it at the time, but my excitement at seeing him instantly falls flat as I open the taxi door and spot a pretty blonde girl cosying up to his side.

"Alright sern?" He greets Larry enthusiastically as he breaks away from his companion to jog over and give Larry a hug, then he makes to do the same to me but I quickly move back, leaving him faltering. "Err... alright Bella?"

His eyes are as bright as ever but there's an air of hesitance about him as I mumble a quick hello. I'm not sure whether it's the cool reception I'm giving him or the presence of the mystery girl who's watching me from afar with a keen kind of interest that immediately sets me on edge.

"You pair all set for tour then?" Van asks, looking between us both before his attention's back on me. "Heard you brought enough luggage to sink a battleship!"

"Well... I do like to have all my comforts with me. You weren't expecting me to rough it were you?"

I spin around as I hear a scuffling sound to see the taxi driver slinging my expensive luggage down on to the slabbing with little care.

"Oh my god!" I wince through gritted teeth, but Van doesn't give me chance to stress, quickly diverting my attention by hooking his arm through the crook of mine and steering me back in the direction of the bus. It's just in time to see the girl who caught my attention turn and walk towards the back of the venue, pulling open the door and slipping inside. Something that feels like relief washes over me.

"Course we wouldn't expect ya to rough it," Van grins. "Come on, come and see the bus. It's ace! I'll take ya on the grand tour. It's not often we have royalty on the road with us eh, Larry?"

Larry shoots forward to stand by the open door of the bus, bending down in a grand bow before he's straightening up quickly, pretending to play a fanfare on an imaginary trumpet. "Welcome aboard your majesty!"

"Fuck off!" I fire at him but I'm laughing, enjoying their playful teasing more than I'd like to admit, loving the attention really.

Larry leads the way and I follow with Van trailing closely behind, up a few steps and down a thin corridor which branches out into a living area with big comfy seats and a large TV set into the wall. I note a few PlayStation controllers scattered around and groan internally as I recall dramatic competitions between the boys on FIFA and Mario Kart on our childhood family holidays. The way that Van would whine and scowl if Larry dared to beat him, resulting in re-match after re-match until eventually he'd emerge the victorious one. I was sure that Larry just gave in and let him win sometimes to keep the peace.

"Please don't tell me you two still have your silly little rivalries on there," I gesture towards the console, rolling my eyes as the lads immediately launch into a row about who's the best player and who's going to trounce who in the next tournament.

Some things never change...

I leave the boys to bicker amongst themselves, moving forward into the cramped kitchen area which boasts a microwave, a fridge and a kettle and not a lot else. I pull open the fridge door, yelping in shock as the huge stack of beer bottles that had been balanced precariously topple over, one rolling out and on to the floor. I stoop to pick it up and that's when I hear another familiar voice behind me and I straighten up in a flash, turning around.

"I know you're a party girl but even so it's a bit early to be starting on the lager isn't it?"

Johnny's amiable grin's a welcome sight and before I can even remember that I'm supposed to be mad at him for setting me up with Sam I'm stepping forward to nestle into his outstretched arms, burying my face into his chest. He squeezes me tightly against his body, planting a small kiss on my head. "Alright love? That's a warm welcome I wasn't expecting!"

"Yeah, well... maybe I forgive you for your sneaky collusions with Sam's mates," I say, pulling away to look up at him. "Turns out you did do me a favour after all. Things are all good with Sam now."

"Oh aye?" He smiles curiously. "So, ya gonna tell me what happened then? Sam did say youse two had made up but he was pretty vague..."

I battle against the grin that's fighting to surface, shrugging lightly before I bend to place the beer back in the fridge so Johnny can't see my smug face. "Oh there's nothing to tell really... Sam's just a forgiving guy I guess you could say. I mean, who could stay mad at me for long, right?"

"What did I tell ya eh? Nothing to worry about after all..."

My eyes are wide and innocent when they meet his again, a subtle pout on my lips as I ask to see where the sleeping area is. I've got visions in my head of languishing on soft sheets in my pretty lingerie like a proper rockstar's muse, tucked away secretively for an afternoon with Johnny or sneaking stealthily to Van's bunk to tease him when he's all hyped up and buzzed on adrenaline after a gig.

All my fantasies are shattered though as he leads me up to the second level and down a narrow corridor lined with twelve of the smallest looking bunks stacked two high, one atop the other. There's barely enough room to roll over in bed, let alone re-enact the kind of sexual gymnastics that I'd envisioned. And as for privacy... it's non-existent. The flimsy curtains covering each bunk won't block out any amount of noise from the inhabitant above or below.

"You telling me you actually sleep in those things?" I groan in dismay. "Everyone's so close together... and the crew sleep here too?"

Johnny chuckles, patting one of the top bunks and I grimace at the scratchy-looking blanket. "Ahh it's not so bad... you soon get used to it. The crew are a sound bunch of lads when ya get to know 'em. And you get so tired you find you could probably sleep standing up by the end of the tour. You'll see."

"Don't knock it Bella!" Van's voice suddenly sounds out and I whirl around to see that him and Larry have followed us up. "This is luxury compared to what we used to have starting out. Slept in that rusty old transit Van plenty of times. It were fucking freezing in the winter!"

"What about the Travelodge days?" Larry pipes up. "Eight of us booked into one room to keep the costs down. You'd 'ave loved that Bells! Woke up with my face in Van's sweaty armpit more times than I care to remember!"

I give him a look of disgust whilst they all laugh. "You boys are gross. Seriously though... I really do need some space. A girl needs to do... girl stuff you know?"

Van steps forward then, pointing to a closed door at the end of the corridor. "Got the perfect solution for ya. There's a little lounge bit at the back, was gonna bag it for myself but you can stay there if ya like..." He pauses for a moment, a cheeky grin taking over. "Might get a bit lonely though... so if ya want some company you only need to ask... OOF!"

He's cut off abruptly by Larry digging him hard in the ribs with a glare.

"I was only joking!" He cries. "Jesus, keep ya hair on!"

I smirk as Van still manages to tip me a secretive wink when Larry turns away, opening up the door to reveal a compact room with two small sofas and a wall mounted TV. It's not exactly the luxury I'm accustomed to but it's better than nothing. And besides, the last thing I'm expecting to do is catch up on quality sleep over the next three weeks. My agenda looks much more exciting than that.

"Better get to the venue, we've got soundcheck in ten." I hear Larry say. "You coming Bells?"

"I'll be there in a bit," I tell him, flopping down on to the sofa, looking around and wondering how I'll make the small space more liveable. "Just gonna settle in first... can you get my bags brought up?"

There's no response, causing me to look up to see three faces grinning at me like I've just cracked the joke of the century. "What?"

"Will you be requiring room service too?" Johnny chuckles. "Glass of chilled champagne for your arrival?"

"Ooh that sounds nice!" I enthuse, completely missing the playful sarcasm in his voice until the sniggering starts up.

"Ha ha... very funny," I retort. "But I do need my luggage though. Isn't that what the crew's here for?"

"Don't let Dougie hear ya talking like that!" Van grins, shaking his head. "But I'll get yer bags for ya... just this once..." Then he adds with a sly grin, "You can pay me back later!"

The boys all turn and head off and I can hear muted laughter and Larry's huffed comments. "I told her she'd have to pull her weight... probably worried about breaking a nail or summat..."

I just smile to myself. I'll have them trained up in no time.

[lokiinmediasideblog]

If i was in the marvel fandom in 2012 i would've been a major loki hater ngl. I started to warm up in the dark world. I know its controversial but i liked him in Ragnarok but then they killed him in infinity war im sfill mad abt

I like Loki a lot, and I liked him least in Avengers (2012). I watched the movies out of order at first (A1> T:TDW> Thor 1). I enjoyed him a lot in the Avengers, I was drawn to him because he's fun, but he also gave me second-hand embarrassment because he was just so arrogant yet got his ass handed to him(And I didn't know the backstory). I didn't think about Loki for a long time, until I watched T:TDW, where I fell head-over-heels for him. Without Loki, that movie would have felt like watching paint dry, so I felt especially grateful to Loki for that. That eventually got me to finally watch Thor 1. LOL. I enjoyed him in Ragnarok a lot, as well, and shipped him with Valkyrie, but I was not in the MCU fandom at the time (I was in another fandom). I am also still mad about Loki being killed off like that in IW!!!! Let's mourn!

Bear in mind I am biased towards antagonists and villains while reading this. This is my history of how I ended up obsessed with Marvel's Loki. And I am not sure if I should tag this post as "anti Thor" because I mention my extreme dislike of Thor from the past (and reasons). But I mention at the very end he grew on me. It's up to you if you keep reading.

The first time I saw Marvel's Loki, it was on a Hulk v. Thor cartoon on Netflix. Loki looks like an evil DILF in there. And Hela is a hot giant goth lady. I remember I googled norse mythology for the first time because up until then, I had thought "Son of the Mask" made up Loki, and I wanted to learn more about Hela (Hel). And I learned about Sleipnir and how hilarious myth!Loki was.

I found cartoon Thor annoying because he felt too perfect, and that's the kind of character that grates my nerves. And he survived thanks to a kiss from Amora, ugh, that's so dumb. I didn't go to watch Thor (2011) for the longest time because Thor just annoyed me because he felt too perfect and Gary Stu-ish in that cartoon.

And the comics I read at the time, specifically for Loki, made me dislike Thor more because they were like "Thor is the FUCKING BEST! AND ALL THESE SCANTILY CLAD WOMEN WANT TO FUCK HIM. BLEH BLEH. "(I was reading some omnibus by Matt Fraction on readcomicsonline). But I was more of a lurker in fandom, with no tumblr account, so I didn't express it.

And it annoyed me that some Marvel re-tellings of the myths (think it was Ages of Thunder) substituted Loki's cleverness (that saved him in the myths) for Thor being merciful or coming to the rescue. And they'd make Loki not only much eviler, but also dumber than in the myths when scheming and wprd-play is supposed to be his thing. Like, let Loki have something! You don't even have to write it because the myth you're adapting is there already! And ugh. Like no offense to anyone, but I don't really feel bad over Loki being so popular because those comics that existed for 5-6 decades annoyed the fuck out of me.

Also, at the time, a bunch of comic book nerds and dudebros would lose their shit over Loki's popularity. And Loki would be the subject of really fucked up homophobic jokes in parodies (*cough* The Key of Awesome).

Thor started growing on me in Ragnarok, IW (coolest Thor), and EG (EG!Thor is my fave because he's just so sad and I love sad men). And he was actually not Gary Stu-ish in Thor 1, I just didn't appreciate it at the time (unlike in other Marvel media). So I definitely like MCU!Thor way more than in many of his comics runs.

I also feel like I have different Thor and Loki preferences than most of the fandom, because I was a lurker and didn't interact with the fandom until 2022 and then making this blog, thanks to the Loki series bringing back my Loki phase.

1. Durability and Longevity

Copper is known for its durability and ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions. Whether used in construction or design, copper plates for industrial use are resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for outdoor applications or in areas with high moisture. Over time, copper develops a protective patina that not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also adds to its longevity.

2. Aesthetic Appeal

One of the standout benefits of using round copper plates in design is their striking appearance. Copper has a natural, warm tone that complements a wide range of architectural and design styles. It can be used in construction for decorative purposes, such as in wall cladding, roofing, and facades, creating an elegant and timeless look. The metal's natural shine adds sophistication to both modern and traditional designs.

Another major advantage of using copper plates in design and construction is their exceptional electrical and thermal conductivity. Copper plates for industrial use are crucial in applications where efficient heat transfer is required, such as in HVAC systems, heat exchangers, and even electrical systems. Their ability to quickly dissipate heat makes them essential in industrial and commercial construction projects.

This flexibility allows for intricate designs and modifications, making copper a preferred material for artists and designers looking to create unique, bespoke pieces.

As sustainability becomes more important in the construction industry, copper stands out for its recyclability. Copper plates for sale can be recycled and reused, which reduces waste and the need for new resources. By choosing copper for your construction and design needs, you're making an eco-friendly choice that helps contribute to a more sustainable future.

6. Corrosion Resistance in Harsh Environments

Copper’s resistance to corrosion makes it an ideal material for use in construction in coastal areas, industrial environments, and other harsh conditions. This resistance ensures that copper plates remain strong and intact over time, even in the face of extreme weather, chemicals, or pollutants.

Vinyl Moon Volume 101: Stay Curious, Wayfarer

Stay Curious, Brandon

Curious indeed was I. How could this man mix music freshly sung from a mountaintop with music freshly exported from something like ableton or FL Studio and create a solid vibe? Don't know, but HE DID.

I love every beat of this volume.

Listen along with me here. Playlist also available on Spotify.

first impressions...

Artwork is as sweet as it is trippy. Mirrors my college experience in New York's Adirondack Mountains. Hair flowing long, I practically embodied Bob Dylan's "Girl from the North Country".

I admired all things rugged natural, Including the fine, flannel-clad young men dragging from their American Spirits outside my window, their backs hunched from their oversized camping packs. True old-timey mountain-men focusing on expeditionary studies, fresh home from adventures in the wilderness. I befriended many, trusted few, and dare I admit it, deeply loved one.

I'm hoping for a nostalgic dip in the lake of time. It has been ... nearly ten years ... since my diploma arrived in the mail.

Stoked for needle drop.

Volume 101 Listening Log

A1: This intro could be looped for 10 hours, and I’d be there listening. Hand percussion and the slide guitar melody coming in, and I feel like I can just breathe easier. This soundscape has me feeling like I am either in the Adirondacks or maybe the Smokies breathing in fresh mountain air. Maybe I’m in a creek hidden in a forest. I’m a wood nymph. Vibing to this song is as close to meditating as I can get nowadays. Refreshing. Wow. 

A2: Diffused Drums are a strong lead from where we started. They keep a groove with slower guitar and bass. Smooth folk vocals. Obsessed. Layers are layering. More of a groove going now with additional perc sounds and guitar arps. Then they all fade for a semi-solo vocal ending. Damn. Brandon is releasing his smooth operating mother-folkng soul. I’m in heaven here. 6/8 compound time heaven. (Still a wood nymph, btw)

A3: softer acoustic for the intro. We’re veering a bit away from straight folk. This has a punchier bass line, slightly more prominent kit. Minimalist with some shimmering guitar accents and cello trill-ish accents. Love the slight effects on the vocals. The instrumental breaks are light and wavy. Ends how it began.

A4: right in on this one. This feels more traditional. Like a soft flannel you bring camping. I can smell the smoke. Reverb on the typical folk instruments and a piano/organ style filler. Super full sound. Full heart, too.

A5: electronic soundscape. Lo-fi. Pads on pads on pads of atmosphere lead to an unexpected sonic plane for this album. No more ponchos waving about with the windows down. We are not acoustic from the garden, resting our darkened soles. This is slick production. Super relaxing. Usually my type. Drenched in verb, little flute accents. Amazingly well written. Does it throw off the vibe we've had for four other songs? Yeah. Do I love it for maybe a different time? Absolutely. 

B1. The folk band has exited stage left. We are in  beat territory. Still believe it's cohesive, especially after being led by A5.  Percs are at a mid-speed shuffle. Piano trills are all over the place. It's a good representation of an evening walk in the burbs. Early spring, sweet sunset. My brain is wandering off anywhere it wants, or I'm over focused on the new foliage trying to sprout.

B2. We’re thumping. Dull thumping. Like The kick is covered in cloth. The lyrics are super interesting. Little dichotomy here. She's leaving the rural area to hide in the city. Lyrics are giving natural descriptions, and the music is giving slick city vibes. Vocals sounding a little like Elle Goulding. Minimalist electronic accompaniment. Some acoustic trills. Nice blend of opposites.

B3: jangly guitar as the backbone along with one simple hand perc rhythm. Slow and entrancing vocalists with nice synth-string accents. A male-female duet exploring comfort in each other’s arms.  Instrumental break with the guitar and one perc item, adding a shaker. A groove. Ends with the jangly guitar. Nice. This volume is very gentle or very smooth. The jangly vibe is a great addition. 

B4: Super smooooooooooth bass and hurried beep boop perc that almost sounds like crickets. Okay, then. Holy wow the synths that cover and fill are gorgeous. Arpeggios actually keep the balance between smooth filler and some slower kit work. It’s giving ‘Stardew Valley’ at nighttime vibes. Wish it wasn't so short.

B5: THICCCCCCCCCCC wall of sound. Smooth as fuck bass and chordals. Verb drenched choruses. Smart to drop out for verses. Just a crisp kit and vocals. 

B6: Vocal focused. Verry minimal accompaniment here. Little weird, when female vocals enter the guitar follows each syllable. This is kinda funky territory. The verb that intensifies on the vocalists sounds like they are on a cloud. Diffused organ layers. This song has grown so much from the intro, and has totally grown on me. THE WEIRD TRIPPY ENDING THOUGH. 

B7: Super thiccc wall of sound again. Love it. Like squeezing toothpaste. Then the guitar comes in and waves at the distant folk vibes from A side. Smart choices.

SUMMARY

This volume marries two genres that I love independently, and it remains COHESIVE. It will be spinning often, especially when the leaves get crisp. It's a top tier Vinyl Moon release for me.

POTENTIAL CONS

This volume thrives in its inclusion of folk elements. If you cannot tolerate a little twang here and there, or you are an avid hater of anything that sounds remotely "country", this album may not be your favorite.
