TRYST TRUCK TRUST

“I ain’t stupid.” 

It takes Javy a moment to understand what the blond boy is saying, as they’re sitting across from each other in the boy’s bedroom. He honestly hadn’t thought much when the indication of tutoring a Seresin kid came along — it was good money, he wasn’t so sure if it’d be easy but at the very least, worth the shot. 

“Sorry?” He asks with a slow blink, staring back at Jake. High School Football Team Captain Quarterback Texan All American Boy Extraordinaire Jake Seresin, in all of his blond golden boy glory, green eyed and sitting there in his F-18 Hornet Schematics t-shirt with thick rimmed black glasses that looked a little like he was one of those stereotypical popular kids trying to look the part of a nerd cosplay.

Not like it bothered Javy, he’d been on the team just two years ago, too. The two of them weren’t so removed from each other’s timelines, Jake just happened to be a  Sophomore where Javy had just graduated. 

“I ain’t stupid.” Jake repeats himself and frustration is almost palpable in the words; they’ve been there for an hour already while Javy was going over the guy’s assignments and grades to try and see what exactly he’d been struggling with. It was all a mismatched collection of A pluses, C minuses and F’s that honestly made no sense for a guy with all the money in the world. 

“Yeah, I hear you.” Javy confirms with a nod before Jake repeats himself, he can see the mixed feelings bubbling under the boy’s surface. Picking up on his assignments, then carding through the other subject’s folders; math and science and physics, Seresin was killing it but apparently not where reading was concerned. “I don’t think you are.” There’s an inkling to him that makes Javy think the blond might have heard he was stupid at least a few good times, enough to internalize it. 

“Okay, good.” Jake’s answer is closed off, cagey, giving off the energy of someone who’s trying so hard to save face while also self-doubting like mad. Now, Javy had come here to teach a rich brat he assumed was just fucking around during classes and leave; he wasn’t expecting to find a guy who was genuinely trying and failing. 

“...do me a favor and read this passage for me.” He points out at one of the reading assignments reports, handing it over to the guy, Jake nods. And then he takes precisely five minutes (Javy checks on his watch) until he clears his throat. “Out loud, please.”

Green eyes stare back, blinking in quick succession before he spots a tinge on pink at the tips of the boy’s ears, obviously ashamed even though he tries not to look startled. “Oh, right, sorry.” Noted, clear instructions. 

It takes another minute for Jake to pick up and read the passage, hesitantly.  “I love your daughter fondly, dearly, disin– disin– disinterd– fuck!” It’s almost like watching someone repeatedly run into a wall they can’t walk past and Javy feels bad, so he reaches forward to cover the passage, eyes keeping on Jake’s face, checking for changes.

“Disinterestedly.” He offers, calmly, trying not to sound patronizing and somehow wary the guy would simply throw a tantrum or something if he did so. 

“Disinterestedly.” Jake repeats, half annoyed, eyebrow lifted in a mild challenge as if inviting Javy to mock him back. Instead, Javy gives the blond boy a long, puzzled look, letting the gears inside his own brain turn before he speaks again. 

“I’m not–”

“Stupid, I know, I seriously don’t think you are.” Javy almost rushes to say because he can see the way Jake is chewing the inside of his own mouth. “So...trust me to help you?”

Jake stares back. Javy stares back.

“Yeah, alright.”

Mine wasn't anon, but it also wasn't that filthy. Oh well. ALSO. Miss Leah, why can I only access your ask button on desktop and not on mobile???

I haven’t had anyone else tell me this is an issue? Is anyone else having a problem accessing my ask button?

Is this something I have to look into?

I noticed the icon changed this-morning so we’re in for an update—maybe it’s a bug 🐜

Master List - Jake 'Hangman' Seresin

Main Master List.

One shot

Take a chance on me - Hangman can’t sit and wait while his fellow pilots are dying in the air, he will risk everything to help them. Even his wings.

Praise the lord - they never noticed the cross around Jakes’s neck, they didn’t notice him praying. They didn’t notice his loneliness, but iceman did.

Polaroid - Hangman didn’t think much about the dagger squadron after he was sent away to a different base from them all, after all, none of them spoke up in protest. That was until his best friend Coyote starts sending him camera rolls of what he was missing, more specifically Bob.Bob x Hangman

Attention to details -Hangman notices someone harassing Bob after the gang left for the night.Fluff Bob x Hangman

Hangman is Dyslexic - we all know Jake hasn’t had the best childhood, neglected by his parents. It also meant unfortunately he was undiagnosed, and he couldn’t have it on record, or they would ground him. So, he toughs through it. Platonic Bob x Hangman

Seen not heard - Rooster and Payback pull a prank on Hangman, not realizing it could have been fatal. Maverick and Iceman step in to help the pilot recover. "He will never be allowed to fly again; do you realize that?" (Possible Series) Childhood abuse, PTSD TW.

Series

Less Than Achievable - The time Jake was finally shown he meant something to someone. Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, … Abandonment issues, Daddy issues, Neglect, Self-hatred, Sacrifice TW.

Upcoming Post

A happy flightier - Bob somehow gets stuck as Hangman’s back seater, neither of them are happy about it. But Bob recovers a fast way to get Hangman off his back and surprisingly it’s not what he thought. A/N: Based loosely off Footloose

Prank gone wrong

- Rooster and Payback decide to put Jake in his place, binding him and gaging him. Leaving him in Mavrick’s office as a present, it’s not like the officer used it. Pupa Ice/ DADvrick come to the rescue, PTSD, Trauma, Childhood abuse TW.
