Vincent: I just want to be a dad. :(

Maybe he can idk, repair the relationship he has with his son?? Bestie, there is a simple solution to this.

Anyways, I wasn't thinking the whole pen pals thing would evolve into the romantic thing. I was just saying it could be an AU of the Ranch AU where they're pen pals and not dating so that we could have the canon Ranch AU where they are dating but Vincent still gets to be happy because there's an AU where he gets to be the paternal figure he apparently desires so badly.

Because I mean, it wouldn't be the first time we've put two OCs who are usually romantic partners in a father/son dynamic. *stares at Stone and Sylvester in the teen AU*

vincent, offended: how dare you say i have a broken relationship with my son?? i get him everything he wants! and he visits me! .... on occasion.

... i feel like i'll get shot if i try to intervene. uh oh. but i do agree that its strained at best. they love each other but theres no deeper connection to it other than them being father and son

he does like the idea of taking adrian under his wing in some other au. because i guess getting a second son is easier than fully embracing and bonding with your firstborn one.

[chesters-ocs]

Wonderful idea for like a separate version of the Ranch AU. Because Vincent can't escape dating Adrian completely. (Look, isn't it nice to have Adrian as a boyfriend, Vincent?)

Them having been pen pals in the past also gives a nice reason as to why these two were so civil with each other when it became clear that Butcher and Death were in a convoluted family tree together. And why Adrian was so eager to actually become official allies with each other.

vincent: but... oh nevermind. i'll take it. sigh.

i do think now he'll be a little more weirded out if adrian is so forward with his advances romantically. because, well, theyve known each other for years then, but not once did he figure there'd be anything more to that than maybe the occasional formal meeting

imagine if people think vincent manipulated adrian into getting with him, because he was "young and impressionable" even if his letters were literally nothing but professional with so little of his own personality added in. but instead its adrian who's being the little freak

vincent: i just want to be a dad :( but whatever. you arent giving me much options besides *this* or just. not talking to adrian in the first place

but now there is a thought in his mind where adrian is possibly trying to use vincents undoubted attachment to him for his own good. because why else would he suddenly be so interested in him and literally climbing all over him? but alas

[chesters-ocs]

Well, it's not like Vincent would exploit it. Or would he? /lh

This is why it's a good thing Adrian never got wooed and spoiled well enough for it to actually work by potential suitors who were greedy and just wanted his mafia for themselves. Because I fear it would've been disastorous.

Apparently, Adrian's father didn't want to give him the mafia (yes, it was a family business) but he had no other family to take it and he did want to keep it in the family. So Adrian got it.

At the age of sixteen, which I'm sure also didn't help.

ohhh now im just imagining: what if when adrian first got hold of the business, he was so lost in how everything should work and desperately needed help with *everything*. cuz i assume he wasnt taught much by his father if he wasnt even planning on passing the torch to him

jump trough hoops with me for a moment, but like, what if vincent was a sort of mentor figure for him way back when. because he already was running his own empire by that time just fine. maybe its as simple as them being pen pals because adrian couldnt really travel anywhere back then (i assume he was seen as an easy target and stayed home for a hot second)

[chesters-ocs]

Adrian really is too busy staring at Vincent. 😭 He doesn't even notice that there's a meeting going on around him.

To him, it's just him and Vincent in the room and he's eager to soak up every facial expression and every twitch of Vincent's. He can't see anyone else and he's not comprehending that there's talking going on.

Vincent could make up the wildest shit that was talked about in the meetings and Adrian would be like "Oh that happened? Really? I didn't notice."

omg bro's thirsting after grandpa over here so badly it literally gave him tunnel vision 😭 who let this man be a mob boss. that seems like a gigantic thing that can be exploited, but i digress

[chesters-ocs]

Alexandria is so iconic. Truly.

Because I fear no one is brave enough to slap a gold star sticker on a mafia boss's forehead. And I love her for it.

Adrian is too happy about the gold star sticker to care she put it on his forehead. Well, that will certainly be a sight for Vincent to see later.

alexandria: i've lived enough. if he kills me, he kills me. but i will be at least getting a hit in. smh.

.... she just told me she keeps little poison syringes on the inside of her labcoat in case of a break-in. she's not the best with guns, but she will still fuck them up from the inside out. literally.

so if adrian did get pissed at her enough to try and harm her? well, he can argue with her from his deathbed /lh

[chesters-ocs]

Adrian does truly memorize every inch of Vincent's face because he stares at the handsome face every single time he sees Vincent. He's like "I must take in everything about Vincent and love every part because he's amazing."

And yeah. He's so down bad.

I can totally see him painting Vincent while Vincent works on days where Adrian is not too busy. It is the perfect time since Vincent is so still.

yay for adrian getting special privileges in sitting in on any and all vincents meetings he ends up hosting in his office. obviously nothing that could let adrian sabotage his business, but, its still a sight to see.

but i doubt any weird looks he gets will bother adrian, as he's too busy staring at vincent

[chesters-ocs]

Adrian, perking up: Like an actual gold star sticker?

Me: No, I don't think so. I think it's just the mental gold star. Would you have liked a gold star sticker?

Adrian: ...No.

Patting Adrian on the head so he can feel like he's being praised. The daddy issues combined with the praise kink is a deadly combination.

alexandria, slapping a singular gold star sticker on adrians forehead: there. now get out.

... well.. i'll let her have it. i love her too much to not let her do that

[chesters-ocs]

Adrian, after Vincent kisses him: 🥰🥰 That so nice. :)

He manages to make something without burning the house down. And while it doesn't look like the most appetizing thing in the world, it's edible. It'll fuel them with energy and won't give them food posioning.

Which is a win in Adrian's books.

And he gives Vincent the new painting he did of the older man. And it's Vincent bathed in sunlight, looking so handsome.

vincent, looking at the painting: keep this up and i'll maybe get tempted to model for you

vincent: ... also how on earth do you get all the details??

he's assuming adrian isnt working off a photo, because he tries to keep his tail covered. the less images of him floating around, the better. so it wouldve had to be memory.... and it makes it all the more sweet cuz he truly did memorize it all <3

... imagine adrian brings his little portable easel or smth into vincent's office and paints him as he works. he's staying still enough where it wouldnt disrupt the whole painting.

[chesters-ocs]

Adrian, over the infection: I'm the worst patient ever. I couldn't even do simple instructions of how to take care of my stitches properly.

Me: You have such low self-esteem for a mafia boss. Maybe, go to therapy.

Anyways, at least he won't be publicly saying he's the worst patient ever. Because he knows just how awkward that might make this. And he wouldn't want to distract Alexandria.

well, at least he remains quiet. just the kind of patient alexandria loves. quiet, sucks up the pain and doesnt talk back or resist treatment. so he's earned himself a gold star in that regard

[chesters-ocs]

Imagining that once his new house is finished and furnished, Adrian will invite Vincent over for dinner. And oh, he looks good walking around the kitchen, cooking up a meal for the two of them.

Shame he can't really cook. He can bake, but he can't cook. No one look at how he almost sets the kitchen on fire.

At least he looked cute in his little "Kiss the Chef" apron.

vincent does kiss him. why? "gotta follow the boss's orders ;)"

... damn. alright,,, a little switcheroo for the sake of teasing adrian. i love it

[chesters-ocs]

Adrian would be scared, if he wasn't also so relieved to know if he does or does not have an infection. Because for some reason his brain is like "I've done everything the doctors told me to but what if???"

Hopefully, he has no infections and he can go back to Vincent like "I am doing things right!!"

imagine if it actually was infected, but like, in the early stages. so nothing that cant be fixed. but imagine it does still end up making the wound scar more than it would otherwise

she's remaining quiet as she works. theres no music in her office and i can just imagine adrian being scared to even breathe too loudly. alexandria has a massive and lowkey threatening presence. you'd truly be surprised to know she isnt the actual boss of the place

[chesters-ocs]

Adrian is now looking at his scar and turning to Vincent like "This looks like it's healing properly, right? I just wouldn't want to get an infection on accident."

Man isn't even worried about the aesthetics. He just wants to know it won't get infected.

vincent: ... well. it looks decent to me. but i wouldnt know. im not one to get injured that often

alexandria, opening the door: i heard there was an infection? :)

she's whisking adrian away to her office so she can take a proper look. rip to adrian because vincent isnt joining him

[chesters-ocs]

I wonder if Vincent was told that Adrian came back and is now working in the little gazebo outside. Imagine if he wasn't told until after he finished work.

Adrian is happy that he got work done. Yay for him being productive. Apparently that little gazebo and being outside did wonders for his productivity.

Now Adrian is skipping towards Vincent to give him a kiss. He might be feral, but at least he's being cute.

vincent's guards know not to bother him with trivial things while he's working. so no, he probably doesnt know. adrian has free access to the compound, why should he care that he's here? it'd be like having alexandria's or butchers presence be announced. annoying and useless

but yipee for adrian being productive!! wohoo!!

truly this man is worse than stone in feral levels with how he's running around in your brain 24/7 now /lh

[chesters-ocs]

Stone: I miss my husband.

Adrian: Vincent, Vincent, Vincent, Vincent.

Stone, to me: Is he good?

Me: I'm not sure.

Stone is trying to crawl to the forefront of my brain for Sylvester's attention, but for once in his life he has met someone who is stronger than him at taking over my brain: Adrian. Oh boy is Adrian a strong force.

Man has been rampant in my head for like three days now and he's still has the energy to annoy me consistently.

KDFHGKDSJ poor you and stone. at least adrian's having fun being feral

sylvester is missing from my head. maybe stone can try to summon him somehow, but idk lol

[chesters-ocs]

Thinking about Adrian leaving and then coming back with everything he needs to do because it's better to do paperwork here than in a hotel room. And like he doesn't even need to be in Vincent's office to do the work, the guards could put him literally anywhere in the compound and he'd be good.

Because apparently anywhere is better if it's a quiet place. Apparently, he had gone back to the hotel room to do the work but then there was too much noise from the guests above, below, and to the sides of him of him for him to do his work.

Now I'm just thinking about him, for some reason, doing work outside (but he's still technically in the compound) and like imagine being a goon and seeing a mafia boss on the ground, doing paperwork.

vincent's saying he's got a nice little gazebo in the courtyard area of the compound. so if adrian wants, he can be safe from the elements there while also working

... or he can do it in the lounge room. theres a desk nicely tucked away there if he wants guaranteed peace and quiet

[chesters-ocs]

Adrian, half-asleep: Have a good day. :)

And then he’s falling asleep and waking up again in two hours. That time, he knows it isn’t a dream. Which makes it all that much better.

Even though he woke up alone the second time, he’s still happy to have cuddled Vincent all night.

okay adrian has no right being so cute omg.

vincent, maybe on impulse, ends up giving him a small little kiss before he gets out of bed. who knows when he'll see adrian again. for all he knows, its either the same day or weeks later

[chesters-ocs]

In the morning, Adrian will be like “Am I dreaming about waking up to you again?” Because apparently he dreams about that often.

Most of his dreams about Vincent are about them being domestic together. And they’re safe together, able to just be present with each other.

He loves those dreams.

oh my god. he's so down bad and he doesnt even know it. like wdym most of his dreams now are about him and vincent just hanging out and being cute?????? i love it.

vincent usually wakes up at around 7am. it happens automatically. and if its a weekday,,, sorry adrian, but your boyfie needs to get out of bed soon </3 he's got a routine to upkeep and all that
