Description:

Welcome to Paws Sanctuary! This family owned shelter is dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating stray animals, providing them with a second chance at a loving home. Equipped with a cozy veterinary clinic onsite, we will be ready to nurture and care for all animals in need. Come visit us to adopt or simply lend a helping hand in making a difference in these animals' lives.

Details:

Price Furnished: 19,274 Price Unfurnished: 2,723 Lot Size: 40X40 Lot Type: Residential Store Content: Click here CC Used: Click here File Type: Package Min. Required Game Version: 1.42 Packs Needed: The Sims 3, Ambitions (wallpaper and door), Late Night (floor tiles), Pets, Generations and Seasons

Hi everyone! This new build is an animal shelter (or rescue shelter) and is perfect for completing the The Animal Rescuer lifetime wish. This is mostly catered for cats or dogs as I think it would be harder to take care of minor pets at the same time.

I always have a soft spot for animals and would always include them in my gameplay thus I have sparse décor in most of my builds to let them run around the house. Anyways, please be kinder to all stray animals out there and adopt, don't shop!

Click on the ’Keep Reading’ below for more information and pictures on this lot.

For this shelter to work, I have set this lot as residential and created living quarters for Sims at the back. There are two bedrooms and can fit three Sims or four if you place a bunk bed or extra bed in the second bedroom.

The above pictures show the residential section of the shelter — the area where your Sims will reside—while the remaining shelter facilities are indicated by Public Room Markers.

📣If you want to move things anywhere at the shelter, please enable “testingcheatsenabled true” and “RestrictBuildBuyInBuildings Off” after. If you want to place more markers, enable “buydebug on” as well.

Below are pictures of the shelter, equipped with an onsite vet clinic, indoor kennels, a play area for cats, a reception area for visitors (perhaps your neighbors interested in adoption), an office for discussing adoption options, an indoor small yard for animals to play and a small park outside.

📣 Please note that the store content and CC included in the lot are not included on the download file. I’ve compiled a list for those interested in downloading them separately (please click the links above under the Details section or go to WCIF Navigation page) but those are not required and will be automatically replaced in the game. The Ambitions and Late Night expansion packs are required due to the build items used in the lot.

Most of the store contents are from Graham's Pet Swap Shop and I have provided an alternative link instead, same with the others that includes a store link just in case you will not be able download from the store anymore due to issues. Let me know if you experience any problems on your end!

[arogaba]

This legacy is based on the same one by @sweetlysimss who very graciously gave me permission to try my hand at converting the challenge for TS3. It's not perfect but I tried my best to stick to the original rules and try and make it fun!

Tag: #nsbxbpr should be fine still or @ me if you do try this out!

Rules:

This challenge can be played with vanilla, banilla, or berry sims

As per the challenges this is based on, the romance options are a mix between those in the BPR or NSB, allowing  you to choose which you’d like (or mix them up if you wish!)

There is an optional generational challenge to paint/take a photo of your heir for every generation

The generational requirements do not need to be strictly followed/can be changed as you see fit - the important thing is to have fun!

Generation 1: White

You come from a long line of privileged sims. Life was easy for you and you never wanted for nothing. Despite the easy life, you also felt constricted, unable to be yourself. Now that you’re a young adult, you decide to break free from your parents and pursue your own dreams. Packing your bags, and taking enough money to get by with you, you run away to the old, rundown, farmhouse that the only grandparent you cared for left you in the will. Starting off with nearly nothing to your name, you decide to pursue the hobby you were never allowed to chase to its extent: painting. Due to your upbringing, you find it difficult to let other sims in and may come across as rude sometimes. What you really need is that one special sim to make you feel like it’s all worth it. Slowly but surely, as the years go by, your own family starts to grow, but life is not without its ups and downs…

Recommended traits: artistic, snob, grumpy, hopeless romantic

Career: none; make money through your paintings, fishing, and harvestables

Move into your grandparent’s old house. Must be fairly basic/rustic (the size of the house/lot is up to you)

Max the painting, gardening, and logic skills

Have multiple romantic interests throughout your life, but do not settle permanently with any of them until after you have your first child.

Go on at least one date with a purple, pink, and/or a red sim

Have one child

Get married (does not have to be the parent of your child)

Become enemies with the other sims you did not end up with

Have one more child (can be adopted or an alien baby if you wish!)

Sell at least two masterpiece paintings

Have at least two animals in your household

Optional: raise one from its youngest lifestage all the way through to elder

Be good friends with all your children and animals

Become good friends with at least one grandchild

-

Generation 2: Purple/Pink/Red

Although not everyone would believe you, you would say you had a great childhood. You grew up sheltered but loved by your parents and sibling. From a young age, you had a great passion for reading and books, though all those days spent reading might have left you with a few unrealistic expectations about life. Despite everything, you are eager to see everything that life has to offer and a sudden once-in-a-lifetime trip might change your world forever…

Recommended traits: bookworm, computer whiz, great kisser, irresistible, family oriented

Career: writer

Max the painting and writing skills

Optional: master the charisma skill too

Shortly after you become a YA go to one of the WA worlds or travel to the future. Your time here winds up inspiring you for the rest of your life

Become a writer

Either become a genre specialist or write a book from every genre

Kiss at least five different sims in your life

Leave a sim at the alter (peach or yellow)

Must have had at least two children with this sim

Do not marry until you are an elder

The sim you marry must be yellow or peach (whichever was not the colour of your first spouse)

The sim you marry must be in the culinary career

-

Generation 3: Peach/Yellow

It is fair to say that you grew up in quite a hectic household. The only person who spends time with you and truly understands you is your childhood best friend. The two have you been through thick and thin. They were initially drawn to you for your quiet nature, your inquisitive soul, and a passion for nature inherited from your grandparent. In your late teens, you start to notice those traits are working against you, causing others to call you “weird” or “different”, so you adapted. However, in the process of becoming this new version of yourself, you find yourself losing the one thing you ever held dead. Will you ever get your best friend back? Only time will tell…

Recommended traits: loner, shy, brooding, disciplined, athletic

Career: professional sports and then unemployed when you become an adult (though you can supplement your household funds with your collections)

Max the painting, athletic, and martial arts skills

As a child join the boy/girl scouts, and then join one of the afterschool clubs as a teenager

As a child meet your best friend in a different neighbourhood (orange or grey)

As a teen, never have any close friends except for your best friend and any of your grandparents if they are still alive

As a teen, date your childhood best friend

As a young adult, you decide to change your life around and become the social, popular sim you’ve always wanted to be

Join the professional sports career

You and your best friend begin to drift apart and eventually separate

Not long after they leave, you realise you are pregnant

You date around but nothing lasts

Complete one or more of the following collections: metals, gems, insects, fish, or plants

Do not have a good relationship with your child until they are a teenager

After becoming an adult, quit your career in sports but continue to make money by selling your collections

As an adult, reconcile with your childhood best friend

Optional: have one more child

Get married

-

Generation 4: Orange/Grey

Unlike your parents, you are far more practical when it comes to your life choices - or so you like to claim. After getting interested in your grandparent’s large book collection, you become interested in the occult, in particular witches. A mysterious book leads you to become a witch accidentally and soon strange things start to happen. Before you know it your great-grandparent has come back from the dead! In flesh and blood! How on Earth did that happen? As you begin to figure things out for yourself, a mysterious stranger takes an interest in your so called necromancy…

Recommended traits: bookworm, supernatural fan, artistic, night owl, gatherer

Career: fortune telling (you can supplement your household funds by selling potions/ingredients)

Max the painting and alchemy skills

Get a job in the fortune telling career

Date three sims but never get serious with any of them

One of these sims lead to you becoming a witch

Create every potion

Bring back your great-grandparent (up to you how this is done - you can cheat or use any of the methods in game)

Become at least good friends with them

Your necromancy catches the interest of a local doctor (yellow or purple) and you fall in love

Have at least five children together

Teach all your children their skills

-

Generation 5: Purple/Yellow

The world has so many beautiful sights to offer! You can’t wait to paint them, photograph them, or sculpt them! Your life seems to be going perfectly until one day it isn’t. One day you wake up questioning yourself, your career, even your partner! Don’t you deserve better? Of course you do! You decide to switch your life around first thing in the morning. but was it really the right choice to make?

Recommended traits: artistic, avant garde, good, excitable, savvy sculptor, photographer’s eye

Career: painter or sculptor

Max the painting skill, plus the sculpting and/or photography skills

Go to university and achieve a fine arts degree

Be enemies with at least one sibling

Start a relationship with a former classmate (orange or green)

Have at least one child

After becoming an adult, a midlife crisis hits you hard

Quit your job

End the relationship with your partner or divorce them. Afterwards, you continue to have a good relationship with them

Find a new job and skill to focus on as an adult

start a new relationship with a different orange or green sim (whichever colour was not your first partner)

Have at least one child

-

Generation 6: Orange/Green

Food is love. Crime is life. Doting parent and aspiring cook by day, criminal by night. Have you ever heard of a baking criminal? Neither have you, but someone should be the first. You have loved cooking and baking from a young age, though struggled to find your feet in the culinary career. When you leave at night your family think you are working at a swanky restaurant in town, little do they know you’re actually working for the most notorious criminal organisation in town! You prove yourself to be a hard worker but you know when to slack off and have fun. You make it a habit to visit every seasonal festival…with the bonus of getting some flirty looks from the cute sim in the crowds. 

Recommended traits: artistic, natural cook, kleptomaniac, party animal

Career: criminal

Max the painting, mixology, and cooking skills

Have at least two children. Twins are recommended!

One child must have the good trait, one must have the evil trait

Make at least three enemies

Steal something worth at least 10,000 simoleons

-

Generation 7: Teal/Pink

You and your sibling have been together through thick and thin. You are polar opposites but are as close as can be. From a young age, the two have you have always been competing with each other. Regrettably, they always seem to be the one in the spotlight, whereas you are left floundering in the dark. What you do excel at though is school and eventually, your career. You take a job in a rather niche area, one which raises a few eyebrows for certain, but you throw your whole heart into it. Let’s see who’s the best now!

Recommended traits: artistic, good or evil, family oriented, virtuoso

Be taught all your skills as a toddler

Be on the honour roll as a child and teenager

Fall in love with a fellow entertainer (blue or peach)

Partner must max the guitar

Have at least two children

-

Generation 8: Blue/Peach

Music runs in your veins, you enjoy it but it is not where your true passion lies. As a young sim, you’ve always been into drama, stories, and theatre. However, the town you live in doesn’t take too kindly to people who are different, flamboyant, and attention-seeking. As a young adult, you move to a new town and throw yourself into the world of celebrities, drama, and paparazzi.

Career: film star

Master the painting and charisma skills

Join the drama club as a teenager

You surround yourself with simple things, friends and family, and your garden. You love the earth and want to preserve it for future generations. What will the universe have in store for you next?

Career: gardener or inventor - maybe even both!

Two Best Friends...?

Mackenzie Shaffer (22, she/her, bisexual) and Addison Fischer (22, she/they, lesbian) have been best friends since high school. Both bullied for their alternative style, they bonded over similar interests and took comfort in each other. Since then, they've done everything together. With the money they saved up from babysitting in high school, as well as their current jobs, they decided to move out of home at 19 and rent a townhome in Del Sol Valley. Mackenzie works as a makeup artist for Sim Revolt, an alternative magazine company located in Del Sol Valley. On the side, she posts her makeup looks to Simstagram and Simstok, where she has over 500,000 followers. Addison works as an Animal Shelter Worker in Brindleton Bay, the next town over. When they aren't working, she sometimes DJs at local goth clubs, and advocates for animal rights. Mackenzie is starting to find herself drawn to a charismatic musician named Damien Murphy, who often frequents alternative clubs they go to. Meanwhile, Addison is grappling with her unrequited crush on Mackenzie. They couldn't deny the jealously they felt when she got excited over Damien, but they tried to be a supportive friend. After all, would she be willing to risk her friendship over a "tiny crush"? (she's trying to gaslight herself - they're literally in love with Mackenzie)

Mackenzie Shaffer | Art Lover, Bookworm, Geek, Cat Lover, Clumsy. Aspires to be a world-famous artist, particularly a makeup artist.

Addison Fischer | Animal Enthusiast, Cat Lover, Hot Headed, Geek, Music Lover. Aspires to be a Friend of the Animals (although her land-lord won't let her have any pets...)

I'll be posting my new townies and their homes for my new, aging off save file, called the Elitherial Save :) I hope you all like them as much as I do! Check the tag #elitherial save to keep track of all my townies!! Also, I'd love to put them up for download so you can determine their story, or use them however you like (I won't be playing these townies). If you'd like me to send me an ask!!

[pralinesims]

List 5 facts about a favorite sim of yours, and send this to simblrs whose sims you adore 💜

@salemsimss @honeybeenrw @sharpiegirl Thanks so much everyone for sending these!!! <3

3 asks, 3 OC's to pick out facts for!

Although straight, he (jokingly, but also not) likes to consider himself as "metrosexual". Takes much pride in the fact that he puts more effort into his looks than most of his peers.

He is SO. EXTREMELY. BAD. at lying. Literally almost never able to hide stuff, constantly bubbling like a fountain of truth. The only aspects he's kinda good at hiding are some remnants of the trauma he's experienced during his late teens/early twenties.

Writes the most annoying reviews you could think of whenever he buys something online and shares his experiences with the thing in question. At least he is honest, right?

Though he's a pretty good driver, it would be healthier for him if he simply wouldn't. The road rage he experiences sometimes can be off the charts, and even if he doesn't hurt other people, he legit is at the risk of a cardiac arrest due to his built up energy at times.

Always thinks about more methods of earning money + securing his & his families futures. Besides some of the active work he does, he's trying to write cookbooks and self-motivational guides as a side hustle.

Got married when she was 29 years old, to the love of her life, named Mateo. He was her first boyfriend, and although it was a bit of an on and off relationship at the beginning, she wouldn't ever wish for another husband.

She's a loving mother to two toddlers (which coincidentally also are twins, just like Julieta herself), her daughters Maria and Gabriella. Would burn the whole world down for their wellbeings.

Intensely fears swimming and also to an extent, water. When she was 11 years old, she almost drowned, and since then she usually tries to stay clear of bigger pools or masses of it.

Her favorite animals are birds, specifically the extremely round, fat and fluffy looking ones. In her freetime she also likes to volunteer at animal shelters.

Just like her brother, she is a bit of a fitness nut, though not to such an extreme extent. They always used to play different types of sports together when they were younger. Especially her volleyball skills are so good to the point at being at a pro level.

Consumes an obscene amount of coffee. He probably wouldn't drink as much if it wasn't constantly available at the office he works at, but still. Coffee truly runs through his veins.

Speaking of coffee, he's not picky with the ones he drinks, except that they have to be hot. Iced coffee, although drinkable, never has been his preferred choice.

When he was younger, he really badly wanted to become a tattoo artist, though later he's fridged the idea, because his interest and appreciation for tattoos in general has ceased within some years.

Reality TV is his guilty pleasure. If you'd ask him to tell some random facts about the trashiest show you could think of, he'd immediately be able to reference a whole list of weird happenings.

Collects an excessive amount of useless trinkets. A drawer too many at his place is bursting, but one excuse is that something could always be needed "if an emergency should occur". (real life MacGyver, my ass...)

[my-jewish-life]

Since so many wanted me to post more of my Jewish Sims 4 family, let me introduce you to the Abrams family!^^

Here´s the twins Joseph and Zahavah, 11 years old. Zahavah is very excited as she´s preparing for her Bat Mitzvah. She´s very artistic and loves to draw and create things. Joseph loves playing outdoors and spends alot of time in their treehouse, he also has ADHD. Joseph and Zahavah always hang out together growing up, keeping up with them as toddler was a struggle for sure. Their favorite holiday is Purim!^^

Naomi, 18 years old, is in her last year of High School. She wants to study to become a vet, animals and nature has always been a big passion for her. She´s helped taking care of the pets at the local shelter even since she was a kid, last year she found a homeless cat and adopted it. When she´s not helping pets or studying she will sit in her room reading a book or playing guitar. Not too long ago she was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, and her parents and family have been a great support system for her during her ups and downs. Her favorite holiday is Rosh Hashanah and Purim.

The youngest member of the family, Taliah. This little bundle of joy is 3 years old. She loves playing with the family pets and hanging out with her siblings, amd dancing to music. She loves trying to help in the kitchen even if it often ends up in a mess everyone is still having fun. Miranda has teached all their children from a early age to help cook and clean, it´s a important skill after all. Right now Taliah really loves Purim and Hanukkah.

Miranda, 38, the mother of all the children. She´s a stay at home mom, she´s been a stay at home mom since their first child. When she isn´t cooking, cleaning or taking care of Taliah she loves to sit down with a good book or to work in her garden. She met Miriam during high school and fell in love with her right away. She was scared Miriam didn´t feel for her the same way, nor did she know how to tell her orthodox parents about being lesbian. But to her surprise, her parents took it very well. They had known it for a long time and had waited for Miranda to tell them herself when she was ready, and Miriam? She had a crush on Miriam as well but were too nervous to tell her too. Their wedding was lovely even though it took some time to find a rabbi for the wedding. She also has autism and her special interests are books and flowers and whenever she needs a break or feel overstimulated, Miriam is there to help her.

Miriam, 39. She works as a chef at one of the kosher restaurants in town, she´s mostly the one who cooks at home but both her and Miranda ejoys cooking. She has Seasonal Affective Disorder and got a service dog to help her, named Dodi. Dodi has helped her alot during her periods, she´s her little shadow and is always by her side. Miranda has helped her alot as well, knowing what to do and how to help. Miriam loves knitting clothes, something she learned from her bubbe, she holds those memories very close to her heart.

The family pets, the cat Zayit and Dodi.

OC Deep Dive Questionnaire Tag

A set of 20 questions to get to know your OC!

Thanks for the tag @bool-prop

I decided to do this for Josie O'Neil, a next gen sim and one of my favorites.

What uncommon/common fear do they have?

Her biggest fear is losing someone she loves. She knows death is a fact of life but she doesn't want it to be due to something she did or could have prevented.

Do they have any pet peeves?

People who never apologize even when they know they're wrong.

What are 3 items you can find in their bedroom?

Cell phone, Yellow Roses and a picture of her dragon. All three are on the nightstand beside her bed.

What do they notice first in a person?

If they're kind to other people. She takes special notice of someone who holds the door open for someone or offers to help when someone is in need.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how high is their pain tolerance?

Her personal pain tolerance is quite high, like around a 7 or 8. It's the pain of others she has a difficult time coping with. As an empath she tends to take on other's emotional pain as her own and it sometimes overwhelms her.

Do they go into fight or flight mode when under pressure?

It depends. She tends to flee from a fight if it's for herself but if it's for someone she's close to she's more apt to fight. She doesn't like to fight but she will if it means defending someone.

Do they come from a big family/are they a family person?

The Reagan family is a huge but her particular family unit isn't that big. Just her parents and adopted brother. So quite small by Reagan standards.

What animal represents them best?

Goldne Retriever - she's playful, affectionate and loyal.

What is a smell that they dislike?

She likes most flowers but she can't stand the scent of marigolds.

Have they broken any bones?

No broken bones but she has sprained her ankle a few times.

How would a stranger likely describe them?

They would probably say she's naive, selfless and an easy mark.

Are they a night owl or a morning bird?

She's a morning bird. She loves getting up early and working on her farm.

What is a flavor they hate and a flavor they love?

She loves citrus fruit, oranges, lemon, limes although she doesn't really like grapefruit. She doesn't like cabbages, especially cooked cabbage.

Do they have any hobbies?

Gardening, horseback riding, long strolls in the woods taking pictures of the world around her. She's a simple girl who likes the simple things in life.

Boom, surprise birthday party! How do they react to surprises?

She get's embarrassed. She doesn't like being the center of attention. She'd rather spend her birthday volunteering at the homeless shelter with her dad or hanging out at the animal shelter.

Do they like to wear jewelry?

Yes. She has her dragon earings her parents gave her one year for christmas even though they're more than ten years old. She has the necklace that Hayle gave her that wears all the time. And one day perhaps a ring a certain dragon gives her.

Do they have neat or messy handwriting?

It depends what it's for. If it's meant to be read by someone else than she makes sure it's neat and legible. If it's just for her than it tends to be messy and she often has to guess what some of the words are if it's been some time since she wrote it.

What are two emotions they feel the most?

Love and contentment - but it does take a while for her to get to this point.

Do they have a favorite fabric?

She has a favorite snuggly blanket but she doesn't know what it's made of. She just likes it because it's soft and perfect to snuggle on the sofa with a good book.

What kind of accent do they have?

None.

[readingismyhobby24]

im doing pretty good too ^_^!!!!

im SO excited to yap about rainworlds >:D i wanted the game a lot like last year and its like “oh wow i have it now lol” so ive been playing it a bunch and reading about the lore (because its super hard to tell the lore in the game)

to start off simple, you play as a slugcat (basically cat mixed with a slug) in an ecosystem with other creatures, id like to mention how i enjoy that the creatures dont just have set animations for their actions like most games, theyre placed on a rig and the ai has to go off of what to do which i find interesting! you, the slugcat arent meant to be a hero in the story, youre basically just another part in the ecosystem, youre also very low in the food chain (below you are basically just small creatures and plants, while lizards, scavengers, vultures, etc are above you.)

i also enjoy how it isnt JUST a survival game, each character has a story, such as how monk and the survivor are brothers that were seperated, how hunters cycles count down instead of up because she has a disease, etc!

oh yeah i should also probably do a gender chart so nothing gets too confusing (highlighted in yellow is canon, highlighted in purple is implied, white is just my own personal interpretation)

male- gourmand, monk, survivor

female- artificer, rivulet, hunter

neither- spearmaster, inv, saint, nightcat

oh yeah! i should probably explain the actual main thing you SHOULD be worried about!

basically, every cycle is around 13 minutes i believe (except rivulets, hers are shorter, but its back to normal when you meet five pebbles) and when the 13 minutes is up, you have to find shelter before everything rains. you have a certain amount of food pips depending on the campaign, if you have full food pips you can hibernate for the night and itll save, if you dont have enough filled it wont save and will give you one extra food pip, you can also eat extra so you have a few food pips already filled for the next cycle!

the main objective of the game is to follow the guide (iggy/overseer, i prefer to call em iggy) to Looks to the Moon and then Five Pebbles (theyre both iterators which ill explain later!!!!!) im not quite sure how the campaigns end, but ill find out trust :3

so basically, the iterators are what created the slugcats (i believe) and gave a few of them purposes, most were to send a message (like how spearmaster was made to be a messenger), also they have funky names like “Seven Red Suns” and “No Significant Harassment”

also some parts of the game are just really funny 😭 like i know its a game thats probably intended to make me mad but i cant help but laugh at the fact that spearmaster canonically got top surgery (in a way) and that theres a dating sim after you finish inv’s campaign

after each cycle you gain karma! (everytime you die you loose karma too btw) which can help you get through certain passages :)

remember how i mentioned that hunters cycles counted down instead of up? thats an important detail to her story :) because she basically has a disease, after the certain number of cycles, it starts to effect you, and death is permanent (fun fact! if you die in hunters campaign permanently you can go into gourmands and find her body (did i forget to mention that some parts of this game are actually really disturbing? i HATE the spiders.))

its such a confusing yet amazing game, its definitely worth it to get it with the DLC, the sound effects of the creatures, explosions, stabbing, literally every small detail is incredible and i LOVE the music !! oh yeah theres also an upcoming dlc with the nightcat… im very excited :3

sorry if i yapped a lil too much or jumped around too much or if this is hard to understand 😔

bonus pictures of the slugcats with the timeline :) i love them a lot

Okay! Wow!! This sounds really cool and interesting!! And also stressful because this sounds like a game I'd be horrible at 😅 (but honestly I'm bad at all games except for LoZ games, but even then I still struggle with them). Thank you so much for explaining it to me! The little slugcats are adorable by the way!!!

Also, never worry about yapping too much to me!! It literally doesn't bother me at all. I love hearing what you have to say!!! And getting long asks of people yapping actually makes me super happy ^_^

I hope you have a great day/night 🩵

[euphorial-docx]

what video games would the be each of the marauders era character favorite?

i’m gonna yap about it and i hope you guys do too.

remus would play red dead redemption a lot i think— the entire series. his friends would play with him too. they’d run around being annoying cowboys online, with remus being the only one *actually* good at the game.

i think sirius would play the grand theft auto series and i really don’t know why? maybe i just feel like he’d enjoy being a menace on the roads, going to the strip club, and being a demon in online servers.

for james i was initially gonna say street fighter, but i personally prefer mortal kombat and i am biased so he would play mortal kombat. he’d always choose kitana if possible because he had a crush on her as a kid.

peter gives me fortnite vibes. he’d love building shelters and running people over with an op car and doing the little dances. rip peter pettigrew you would have loved fortnite </3 he’d play as one of the banana characters or something

lily would play animal crossing. need i say more? no, but i will! she’d have a big garden, keep all the cute villagers ONLY, and her house would be decorated so nicely. she’d love it. she’d have her friends visit her island all the time.

regulus was really hard for me to place, but i eventually landed on baldur’s gate. i feel he would dig the high fantasy vibes and the freedom of player choice, while also fucking heavy with the strategy aspect. he’d like being a sorcerer because of the added difficulty of sorcery points, and always play a drow because he gives me drow vibes.

mary would play the sims. probably the sims 2. she’d always have really dramatic households and also have a shit ton of custom content. i don’t really see her as a gamer, so she’d be more casual about it.

marlene would play roblox lmao. she would be such a troll in bloxburg, and take dress to impress VERY seriously or VERY unseriously. she’d probably also get banned a few times.

i tried so hard to think of a good game dorcas would play but all i could think of was movie star planet. that game slaps though, so she’d be great at it. she’d be one of those msp players that has the subscription and the best clothes that none of the kids on msp could buy. iconic.

barty would play cyberpunk 2077 to death. he be an absolute terror in night city. also he’d constantly go to joytoy locations and nobody can tell me he wouldn’t. barty would love the depravity of the cyberpunk aesthetic.

evan would play league of legends. he’d complain about it and say the game sucks, and yet he’d be playing it 24/7. he’d usually play as mid lane characters like sylas or, for my arcane fans, ekko.

pandora would play wizards 101. she’d be infamous on that game in the community and would log on almost every day. she wouldn’t care if people think it’s lame or childish as long as she’s having fun.

Origins Chapter 3

5.3K words | Max Verstappen/Daniel Ricciardo

Link to Chapter 1

Chapter 3: Max and Daniel 2018

Max Verstappen was twenty-one when he felt like his life couldn’t get better. He was happy and in love with Daniel. They’d just moved in together at the end of the previous season and Max was happy to leave behind his apartment and insert himself into Daniel’s life. Living with him, sleeping in his bed, living in his orbit felt more right than anything Max had ever experienced in his entire life. 

Now, they were gearing up for the 2018 season. Max was excited, even more than he had been in previous years. Christian had promised them an amazing car for the season and all the data was showing that it would be. Max was racing for one of the top teams in Formula 1, his best friend and love of his life by his side. He was in a position to fight for podiums and Christian said there was a championship in his future if he continued to progress as rapidly as he had over the past few years with the team. The only thing putting a damper on what was shaping up to be a perfect season, was the end of Daniel’s Red Bull contract. They hadn’t talked about it much, but Max couldn’t see Daniel going anywhere else. He couldn’t see Daniel on any other team. He couldn’t see him any other place than right by his side, forever. 

What they had going was good. His relationship with Daniel had granted him the first stable home life he’d experienced in his twenty-one years. They cooked dinner together, combining ingredients from the lists pre-approved by their trainers to make meals they would both enjoy. They spent non-race Saturdays cleaning their apartment and going for walks by the harbor. Daniel had taken him to the animal shelter to celebrate six months of living together and they’d adopted two cats, a brother and sister pair named Jimmy and Sassy, who hated Daniel but adored Max. 

Life was good, better than it had ever been in Max’s opinion. Despite all that, there was one thing he couldn’t shake. 

He doubted that Daniel even remembered their conversation in his driver’s room in Monaco. It had been years and Daniel wasn’t known for having the greatest memory. He remembered the things that mattered like birthdays, anniversaries, big events and such, but random one off conversations were not things that stuck in Daniel’s brain. Not like Max, who couldn’t have removed Daniel’s words from the depths of his subconscious if he tried to dig them out with an ice pick. He kept trying to find the courage to ask Daniel but it never felt like the right time. They were traveling between races, brains overwhelmed by turn one’s and sim data. Or they were spending time at the factory, Daniel trying his best to beat Max’s lap times on the simulator and Max spending time in Christian’s office discussing contract extensions and next steps for the team. Daniel called him “Christian’s golden boy” but there was never any mirth in his voice, just sadness and a little disappointment. Max didn’t blame him, but there wasn’t really anything he could do about their team principal's blatant favoritism. Max just tried his best to cheer his boyfriend up, changing the subject and doing things to make him happy. He kept trying to assure Daniel that he was in for a good season as well. With his experience to back the car Christian was promising, Max was more than sure that Daniel would be giving him a run for his money on the track. Daniel didn’t seem quite as convinced but he appreciated Max’s efforts anyway.

Max could see that the stress was getting to Daniel, with the threat of an expiring contract and desperation to perform looming over their lives like a dark rain cloud. That was why, on a rare weekend off following a triple header, Max put his foot down.

They’d spent most of the week at the factory, preparing for the next weekend's race but when Christian released them Wednesday night, he’d told them not to come back until Monday. So while Daniel was in the shower, Max set his plan into motion. He put both of their phones on do not disturb and hid them away in the bedside drawer not to be touched again lest an emergency arose. He then ordered in pizza, not on either of their approved meal plans but what their trainers didn’t know wouldn’t kill them, and found Talladega Nights on a streaming service. Max frankly thought the film was ridiculous, but Daniel loved it and this was his weekend so Max was willing to indulge him. The food was delivered just as Daniel emerged from the shower, feeling like a new man after washing the disappointments of the day off. Max had beaten him, every lap, every sector and the simulator that day and as much as Daniel liked watching his boyfriend succeed, he wouldn’t pretend his ego wasn’t a little bruised.

“Max? Who was at the door?” he asked as he padded into the living room. 

He paused in the doorway to the living room and looked around slightly in awe at what Max had managed to do in the fifteen minutes it took him to shower. The blackout curtains over the balcony doors were shut and the overhead lights were off in favor of the twinkling fairy lights he insisted on stringing around the living space. There was a pizza and a roll of paper towels waiting on the coffee table, along with sparkling cider and two wine glasses. Max also seemed to have drug every blanket and pillow they owned out of storage and made a nest on the couch. 

“Food delivery,” Max answered, emerging from the kitchen with two glasses of water to add to their spread. “Do you like it?” Max glanced around, shuffling his feet shyly and Daniel wanted nothing more than to wrap him up and kiss him silly. So that’s exactly what he did. He crossed the room, grabbing Max by his hips and squeezing gently as he pulled him in.

“I love it babe,” Daniel praised when he pulled away, leaning his forehead against Max’s. “But what is all of this for?”

“It’s been a long week. A long few weeks actually,” Max corrected. “I thought we could have the weekend just for us. No racing, no distractions.”

“This is the nicest thing anyone has done for me. Thank you Max, really.”

Max beamed and leaned up to press another soft peck to Daniel’s lips before pulling away. “Let’s eat before it gets cold.”

“You know pizza isn’t on our meal plan right Maxy?”

“That’s why we don’t tell Brad and Michael of course.”

“Good plan.”

Max placed two slices each on paper plates and burrowed into the blankets, making himself comfy in the nest. Daniel joined him, picking up his own plate of food and positioned himself shoulder to shoulder with Max, absorbing his warmth as Max clicked the play button on the remote. 

“Talladega Nights Max? You hate this movie.”

“Yes,” Max agreed, swallowing a bite of pizza before continuing. “But you love it. And I love you so I’ll tolerate it just this once.”

“You’re the sweetest,” he pressed a kiss to Max’s head.

“Shh. Watch the movie.”

So Daniel did. He settled back into the cushions and munched on his pizza as Ricky Bobby graced their screen with his racing antics. Once they had finished eating, Daniel opened his arm for Max to snuggle closer and he took the opportunity happily, leaning into Daniel’s side and burrowing under the blankets. He rested his hand on Daniel’s thigh, tracing the familiar lines of his tattoo even though he couldn’t see it. 

At some point during the movie, Daniel leaned back, resting his head on a pillow and pulling Max with him. Max laid his full body weight on his chest and tucked his head into the space of his neck, ignoring the ending of the film in favor of breathing Daniel in, taking comfort in the familiar warmth of his body and the warm planes of muscle under his hands. 

When the credits rolled, neither made any move to turn on a new film, letting the ending run its course until silence fell over their living room. They stayed in that position for a while, both too comfortable to move. Max was so still and his breaths so even, Daniel almost thought he was asleep. He was contemplating the best way to get the younger boy to bed without waking him when Max moved, rubbing his cheek against Daniel’s collarbone and tilting his head to look up at him.

“I thought you were asleep,” he chuckled, running his fingers through soft blonde hair.

“I almost was. But I was thinking,” Max trailed off.

“Care to share?” he asked, keeping up the soothing motions of his hand.

“It’s kind of dumb. And you probably don’t even remember it.”

“Did I do something to upset you Maxy? You can tell me if I did and I’ll try my best to fix it.”

“No, it’s nothing like that,” Max took in a big breath and let it out. “Do you remember Monaco?”

“Of course I do. We live here.”

“Not like that,” Max grumbled, rolling his eyes. “The race. A few years ago when I first started in Formula One. I had a bad fight with my dad after I crashed and you came to my driver’s room afterward.”

“Oh yeah, I remember that. You were so upset, it broke my heart a little bit.”

Max nodded and tucked his head back into his previous spot, not wanting to look at Daniel for the next part, “Do you remember what we talked about there?”

“Not really,” he admitted. “I don’t have the greatest memory and that was a while ago. But obviously whatever we talked about that day was important, so why don’t you fill me in on it.”

“You said that you found things that help you get out of your head and be more relaxed. And when I asked you what it was, you wouldn’t answer me. I pushed you, of course, and you told me it was a sex thing and that I was too young to understand. It’s weird for me to remember, I know. 

“I don’t think it’s weird. But I am curious, what’s bringing this up all of a sudden?”

“I’ve been curious since then. Even when we started dating I wanted to ask you but I didn’t know how. Eventually, I stopped thinking about it as much. But you’ve been so stressed lately with the contracts and things. So I started thinking about it again. That if you told me what things you used to enjoy I could give them to you. I could help you get out of your head and relax a bit.”

Daniel paused for a minute. Max was almost afraid he’d crossed a line and was preparing to backtrack when Daniel grabbed his shoulder gently and pushed him up.

“Can we sit please? I feel like this is a conversation we should have when I can see your face.”

Max pulled a pillow into his lap and maneuvered himself so that he was facing Daniel. 

“I was twenty-five when I joined Red Bull and it was a lot of pressure. I was performing well but I was still under a lot of stress. So, I got into BDSM, sort of low-key.”

“BDSM? That’s a bit, rough, isn’t it?”

“It can be,” Daniel agreed. “But not necessarily the way I did it.”

“How did you do it?”

“I had a few girlfriends when I was younger who were into spanking and things like that. This was a little more intense, tying up, telling them what to do, things like that. But it was always safe and always consensual. I never wanted to hurt them Max, I need you to understand that part.”

“I do,” Max assured. “I’m not sure I understand the appeal, not completely, but if you enjoy it, I’d be willing to try. If you want to do those things with me.”

“Maxy,” Daniel reached across the couch to take his hand. “Of course I do. I have wanted to do them with you for a while actually, I was just never sure how to bring it up. And you were inexperienced when we got together, I didn’t want it to seem like I was taking advantage of you or forcing you into something you didn’t want or enjoy. And just for the record, I enjoy sex with you the way it is now. If you never want to do anything like that I’m perfectly okay.”

“Can you explain it to me more? The things you would want to do?”

“Of course Max. But if anything makes you uncomfortable please tell me. Okay?”

“Okay.”

Daniel kept Max’s hand in his, gently rubbing his thumb over the back of his hand. 

“I want to start out slow with you of course, warm you up. I’ve thought about how pretty you look on your knees for me. I want to tell you what to do. You always listen so well Maxy, you respond so well to me without even trying. I want you on your knees between my legs with my cock in your mouth. But I don’t want you to suck it. I just want you to hold it there, see if I can get you all floaty and sweet, desperate for me. Then I want to take you to bed and take you apart nice and slow. I want to make you cum until you can’t anymore, until you’re crying all pretty for me. Then when we’re satisfied, I want to clean you up and hold you and tell you how good you are.”

Max swallowed, mouth suddenly dry and cock achingly hard. He was thankful for the pillow in his lap covering his predicament from Daniel.

“What about spanking?” he asked, brain-to-mouth filter completely offline. Turns out Daniel turning him on had the power to turn his brain off. 

“You want me to spank you Max?”

“Maybe.”

“I’d always do it for fun. But in this context spanking is usually a punishment. Not because I’m angry at you but to remind you who is in charge.”

“Is that what you like about it? That you get to be in charge.”

“I suppose so. With racing, I’m in control but only of so much. I don’t get to control the track conditions, or strategy decisions. I don’t get to decide if my contract gets renewed,” Daniel paused. “I feel like there’s so little I’m in control of these days.”

“I want to try.”

“Max, I don't want you to do this just for me.”

“I won’t be,” Max assured and feeling a bit bold, he reached over to grab Daniel by the wrist, pulling his hand under the pillow. “In case you can’t tell, I’m very interested.”

“Holy fuck Max.”

Daniel practically tackled him onto the couch, capturing his lips in a heated kiss. His hand stayed firmly on Max’s cock, massaging as he pressed kisses along his jaw and neck, stopping to suck a mark onto his collarbone, just barely low enough to be covered by his shirt.

“You’re so sexy Max. I love you so much.”

“I love you too. Please take me to bed now.”

Daniel didn’t have to be told twice, scooping him up and carrying him in the direction of the bedroom. Max squeaked at the sudden change in his center of gravity, grabbing Daniel’s neck and holding on for dear life. Once they reached the bedroom, Daniel practically threw him down on the bed before moving on top of him again, scaring Jimmy who had been dozing on their pillows.

“You scared the cat,” Max laughed, watching the poor little guy scamper out of the room and around the corner to hide.

“Meh, he hates me anyway,” Daniel said and kissed him again.

Daniel rid him of his shirt and continued kissing down his chest, sucking marks under his pecs and on the softness of his belly. Max squirmed under the attention and Daniel grabbed his hips to pin him to the bed.

“Stay still for me Maxy. Be a good boy.”

Max tried his best to obey, relaxing into Daniel’s hold and letting him cover his torso in kisses and bite marks. Eventually Daniel pushed down his shorts, leaving him fully naked, laid out on their bed. Daniel sat back on his heels and gestured for Max to sit up. 

“Up. Come here.”

Daniel turned so that he was sitting on the edge of the bed and Max scrambled to get up, coming to stand between his spread thighs. He snagged a pillow and dropped it on the floor at his feet before pointing at it. He raised an eyebrow when Max hesitated and Max finally registered that Daniel meant for him to kneel. He dropped to his knees eagerly, not caring that they would probably bruise, even with the cushion to soften the blow. 

“Gentle. Don’t hurt yourself, pretty boy.”

Daniel pulled down his sweats and underwear just enough that his cock was exposed and tugged Max forward gently. 

“Remember what I said? Don’t suck it, just hold it there for a while,” his hand circled Max’s wrist and brought his hand up to his thigh. “If you need a break or want to stop, I want you to pinch my leg twice. That’s your safeword, do you understand?”

Max nodded.

“I need a verbal answer baby. Don’t get all sweet on me just yet.”

“Yes. I understand.”

“Show me.”

Max pinched Daniel’s thigh twice, not harshly enough to leave marks but enough to get his attention. 

“Very good. Open for me.”

Max opened his mouth, and Daniel took a gentle hold on his hair, inching his head forward until his semi-hard cock was settled completely in Max’s mouth. It was strange at first, the weight on his tongue and ignoring the instinct to suck. He shifted his jaw a few times until he found a placement that was comfortable, then looked up at Daniel for further instructions.

“Just sit there for me. You can lay your head on my leg if that’s comfortable for you.”

Max leaned his head to the side so that his temple was against Daniel’s inner thigh and realized that it was much more comfortable than fighting to hold his head still. He relaxed more, even going as far as to close his eyes. He knew Daniel would take care of him. 

“So pretty,” Daniel murmured, running a gentle hand through Max’s locks and he found himself settling even more. 

As Daniel continued to massage his scalp with his fingertips and talk gently to him, Max found himself drifting. He wasn’t quite sure where his brain was going, but he found his mind pleasantly blank. Even the gradual ache settling into his jaw and knees became distant as he focused only on Daniel’s hands and presence around him. 

Daniel kept a watchful eye on the clock, not wanting to push Max too far on his first try, but wanting him to get a good taste of the subspace he was hoping he’d reach. Max settled into it even more beautifully than he’d thought, barely fighting the urge to submit and trusting Daniel entirely to take care of him. After fifteen minutes had passed, Daniel tightened his grip on the younger boy’s soft hair and tugged him back gently. Max whined as his peace was disrupted, but Daniel shushed him gently, continuing to move his head back until his mouth was empty. He blinked up at him, blue eyes watery and unfocused and Daniel couldn’t help but smile, cupping his cheek and running his thumb over the soft skin under his eye.

“Hey there pretty boy. How do you feel?”

“Good,” Max croaked, throat sore.

“Not too much?”

“Nuh uh. Feels good, calm.”

“Good,” Daniel reached for Max’s water bottle on the nightstand and held it to his lips. “Drink baby.”

Max obeyed, dutifully taking a few small sips to soothe his throat before spitting the straw out and looking up at Daniel. 

“More?” he asked.

“Come up here baby.”

Daniel helped Max stand and maneuvered him so that he was straddling his lap. Max wrapped his arms around Daniel’s shoulders and rested his head against his collarbone as Daniel rocked him back and forth, gently rubbing his back.

“Do you want to keep going? I’m okay to stop here if you need to, I know it can be a lot for your first time. You’ve done so well for me Max, I won’t be disappointed if you want to stop for the night.”

Max shook his head, pulling back to look him in the eyes, “I want to keep going. I want all of the things you said earlier.”

“You sure?”

“Yes.”

“Okay. If you need to stop for any reason, if something hurts or you're just not into it anymore, I need you to say red, okay? If you need me to slow down or want to change something, say yellow. If everything is good, the word is green. Can you repeat that for me?”

“Red to stop, yellow to slow down, green to keep going.”

“Very good. That’s the traffic light system, those are your verbal safewords. I’ll never be disappointed in you for using them. They’re to keep both of us safe.”

“You have safe words too?”

“Yes. If something isn’t working for me, or I feel like you aren’t into it but aren’t using your words, I can use those words. Either of us can use them at any time.”

“I understand.”

“Good. Now would you like to make all the decisions, or do you want some choices?”

“You can decide. I trust you.”

“Thank you for that Max,” Daniel leaned forward to kiss him gently. “Lay back on the bed for me.”

Daniel slid a pillow under his hips, elevating them for better access and pushed his knees apart slightly to make room for himself between his thick thighs. 

“This part I’m familiar with,” Max grinned.

“Yes you are,” Daniel pressed a kiss to the inside of his knee. 

He retrieved a bottle of lube from the nightstand and laid it next to him on the comforter. 

“Are you okay if I go to the bathroom to get a towel real quick?”

Max nodded and Daniel stood, making it into their en suite and back to the bed very quickly. He gently instructed Max to lift his hips again and got the towel positioned under him.

“This could get messy.”

“Isn’t it always?”

Daniel chuckled, “Yeah I guess so. How many times have you made yourself cum in a night Maxy?”

“Two I think. I’ve never tried for more.”

“Do you feel comfortable trying for three tonight?”

“What if I can’t?”

“It’s okay if you can’t. I just want to try, baby. You know what to say if you get uncomfortable right?”

“Yellow if I need to slow down and red if I need to stop,” Max repeated.

“Good. So what’s your color right now for three orgasms?”

“Green.”

“Good boy,” Daniel pressed another gentle kiss to his knee. “Do you want to know my plans or do you want it to be a surprise?”

“Can you tell me?”

“Of course. I want the first one to be from me opening you up, I want you relaxed and ready for me. Then the second will be from me fucking you, obviously. Lastly I want to get you off again with my hand once you’re all sensitive and needy for me. Does that sound okay?”

“Yes.”

“Good.”

Daniel popped the cap on the lube and slicked up two fingers, warming it in his hand before circling Max’s rim with one finger, teasing him. This bit was a practiced song and dance by now. They had a system that worked and Daniel knew exactly when to work him up to the next finger and which angles to hit to find his prostate. He was fairly efficient in bringing him to his first orgasm but Max was still writhing on the bed and whining when his cock twitched and spurted over his belly.

“Very good boy,” Daniel praised, gently removing his fingers and hovering over Max to kiss his lips. “Are you ready for me to fuck you?”

“Yes please.”

“Such nice manners,” he teased, kissing him again. 

He took his cock in hand and slicked himself up, teasing Mac’s hole with the head, allowing it to catch on the rim before pulling back.

“Daniel please,” Max whined, grabbing at his shoulders and digging his nails into his skin.

That was all the encouragement he needed, and Daniel slid home in one thrust. Max’s cock, which had been lying, spent and soft, against his lower stomach, kicked violently and made a valiant effort to get hard again, despite having orgasmed only a few minutes earlier. 

“Jesus christ baby, you’re so sexy.”

“So are you,” Max’s hands gripped at his shoulders, pulling him in so their chests were flush and Max’s cock was trapped between them. He shifted his hips up, grinding against Daniel’s abs and he could feel the wetness transferring to his skin as he got hard again and began to leak precum. 

“Such a sweet boy for me. You take me so well Max, always do. You’re so soft and needy for me right now. I fucking love it. So sweet.”

Daniel knew he was rambling but he couldn’t stop himself as he snapped his hips, hip bones smacking against the flesh of Max’s ass. He was incredibly turned on, even more so than normal and he could tell Max was too. The younger boy had lost all coherent English and had resorted to pitiful whines and moans. 

“I’m getting close, baby. You gonna cum with me?”

Max nodded frantically, bucking his hips to get more friction, “Please, please, please.” He cried out as if that was the only word he knew.

“I gotcha baby. I’m gonna make you feel so good. Cum for me Maxy. Come on.”

Max cried out again and Daniel felt the splash of cum against his stomach. The fucked out look on Max’s face was enough to send him over the edge and he thrust in once more before spilling inside of him.

He allowed himself a few moments to recover before pulling out, thankful that he’d placed a towel under Max as the poor boy was a mess. When he looked up at the younger boy’s face, he was surprised to see fat tears rolling down his cheeks.

“Shit Maxy,” he scrambled to get off of him, rearranging them so he could pull Max against his side. “Shh, it’s okay baby. Take some deep breaths for me. That’s it, good boy. You did so well, I’m so proud of you.”

Max moved closer and rested his head against Daniel’s shoulder, tilting back to look at him with glassy blue eyes. Tears were still rolling down his cheeks but Daniel was slowly starting to realize they weren’t bad tears. They were just the tears of an overwhelmed boy deep in subspace who’d just had two orgasms practically back to back.

“Hi baby,” Daniel smiled down at him, cupping his cheek gently. “Are you feeling a little floaty?”

Max nodded, head feeling too heavy for his neck. 

“That’s alright. You’re safe with me babe. Just relax and let yourself float, I’ll be here when you’re ready,” Daniel traced his fingers over Max’s lips and he parted them slightly, taking the tips into his mouth and holding them here. Daniel just smiled and let him have it, whatever would comfort Max he was willing to do. 

It took him the better part of an hour to come back to himself and Daniel held him through it, rocking them gently and letting Max suck his fingers to self-soothe. When he was semi-coherent he looked up at Daniel again.

“Hi,” he mumbled.

“Hi there,” Daniel greeted. “How do you feel?”

“Tired. A little sore. But good.”

“That’s good. So you enjoyed it?”

“Very much. Can we do it again?”

“Of course,” Daniel chuckled. “For now though let’s get you cleaned up okay? I don’t want you to go to bed sticky.”

“Wait,” Max said, eyes suddenly wide. “I only did two.”

“Oh. Don’t worry about that Max, you did so well.”

“But you wanted three.”

“Maxy you were crying and really out of it. I wasn’t going to take advantage of you like that. This was a lot for your first time and you handled it so well. I’m very proud of you.”

“Promise?”

“I promise. Now, how does a bath sound?”

Daniel held Max in his lap in the bathtub, pouring warm water over his chest and back and speaking softly to him, helping Max come fully back to himself.

“What was that?” he asked when they were both clean and lounging in the water, not quite ready to get out yet.

“What was what?”

“That. The way I felt when we were doing all of that stuff?”

“That was subspace. Some people can do things like this and never go down like that. Others have a part of their brain that takes over when they experience pleasure like that. It takes over when you feel safe enough to trust your partner and let them be in control.”

“I like it,” Max admitted. “But I also like being in control sometimes.”

“And that’s okay. It’s common to be into both sides of things. Sex isn’t black and white Maxy. You can like more than one thing.”

“Do you like being on the other side?”

“Not usually no. But if you wanted to try I’d be willing to.”

“So how are they satisfied, when they like both parts but their partner only wants one thing?” Leave it to Max to ask the questions no one else wanted to.

“Well, some have more than one partner. Others just learn to live with it I guess. I’m not entirely sure.”

“Oh.”

“Is that something you’re interested in? Having more than one partner?”

“I don’t know,” Max ducked his head. “I’ve only seen it in-- well in porn.”

“Porn is a little different from real life Maxy,” Daniel chuckled.

“No, I know that. Would it upset you if I said I was? Interested in that, I mean?”

“No, it doesn’t upset me. Honestly I wouldn’t be opposed to it, depending on the person of course. Why do you have someone in mind?”

“No. Of course not. I guess I was just curious.”

“Well if anyone does ever peak your interest, just talk to me about it. We’ll work through it.”

Max found himself wondering, not for the first time, how he had ever gotten so lucky to have Daniel in his life.

“Okay,” he agreed.

“Good. Now let’s get out, I’m starting to shrivel.”

That night, tucked into bed with Daniel snoring in his ear, Max found himself thinking that everything would be alright. After all, how could anything ruin this?

*****

Unfortunately, he was wrong. 

Max knew something was up as soon as Daniel walked into the apartment. He was strangely quiet, which was the first red flag. Normally, everything Daniel did was loud, even the way he kicked off his shoes at the front door and hung his keys on the hook. The second warning bell was that he didn’t automatically greet Max as he normally would. The third was the dried tear tracks on his face and his swollen eyes.

“Daniel? What’s wrong? You’ve been crying.”

Daniel’s face was sad as he spoke, “I’m leaving Red Bull.”
