#— ♡ ❛ valentin delacour. (interactions)

[svftlove-a]

valentin was good at this. the afterparties, the small talk, the easy charm. he could glide through these rooms without missing a beat, all smiles and smooth answers, never letting anyone see more than he wanted to show. it was part of the job, really. fame came with a set of rules, and he had mastered them. keep it light, keep it fun, and above all—keep it distant. but then he saw her. he didn’t expect her to be here, not tonight. Not at this kind of party. he should’ve looked away. walked in the opposite direction, found someone else to charm, someone who wasn’t as quick to see through his act. but he didn’t. instead, he found himself drifting toward her, glass in hand, slipping into that familiar, easy rhythm without thinking. it was like muscle memory at this point — the way their conversations played out, the teasing, the banter. he almost enjoyed it, the way she always gave as good as she got, never backing down. " look at what the cat dragged in," the male male teased, " i didn't know you'd be here tonight. " / @obsesionadas .

[svftlove]

open to females.

" that's exactly why you came here," valentin begins, face cleaning closer to hers until their noses are mere inches apart. " for the fast, hard, toe-curling sex those low lives never seem able to give you. "

[silvrmoon]

"putain, stop acting like my world revolves around you, i had no idea you would be here tonight." / @richlust ♥

[svftlove-a]

open to females. plot: valentin cheated on your muse and she found out bc he is an idiot

" it was an one time thing, i was drunk. it didn't mean shit. "

[svftlove]

open to females. please, read my rules before interacting.

" i own you, " the male reminds her, venom lacing every word as his steely blues hues glare into hers. " if you don't want those pretty pictures of yourself to end up in the wrong hands, i suggest you remember who's in control here. "

[svftlove]

"you're back," both surprise and confusion lace his tone, steey blue hues flickering down familiar features. to say he was happy to see her was an understatement, but he also knew that their situation was for more complicated than he'd like to admit. " i have been texting you all summer. where were you ? " / @loveswealth ♥

[svftlove-a]

the male's smile widened, his steely blue hues glistening with mischief. "i suppose i am," he admitted, pushing off the wall and taking a step closer. "no one special on the scene, at least not yet. thought i'd see where the summer takes me. maybe something, or someone will catch my interest." the male points out casually with a soft shrug of his shoulders. the tension between them, had always been electric and often abrasive, but now seemed to shift into a different kind of energy. it was unfamiliar territory, this flirtation, but not unwelcome. " have you ever done that before ? " he questioned, titling his head to the side. " just let things happen without a plan ? seems a bit uncharacteristic of you."

blonde tresses fall behind her shoulder as she shakes her head, studies him carefully. " i don't really like to make plans, you know, in case something better comes along. best to be open to new things, don't you think ? " this feels new. them, not at each others throats. lightly flirting. or, at least, that's what she thinks they're doing. " what about you, are you free and single for the summer or is there someone on the scene ? "

" i've tried to reach out so many times, but you never picked up or answered any of my texts," strong eyebrows are furrowed as piercing blue hues focus on the woman that had once stolen his heart in ways that valentin had never thought possible. but even such a love hadn't been enough to stop him from following his dreams of becoming a professional tennis player, leaving everyone behind, including her. " what happened ? "

[svftlove]

" i think i was pretty fucking clear when i told you i didn't want to see your face again. " / @cocained ♡

[svftlove-a]

" i'm pretty sure you told me you never wanted to see me again. what changed ? finally got tired of loverboy ? he couldn't make you cum ? " / @swtsours ♡

[svftlove]

valentin's lips part, but no words come out. for a second, he just stares at her, processing, or maybe pretending to. maybe he's always known, just like she said — maybe he just pretended not to see. " that's not fair, " he muttered, running a hand through blonde locks, frustration creeping into his tone. " i do care. i care about you more than anything, " except tennis, of course. but that was his career, he lived and breathed for it since he was just a kid. " and that's ridiculous, " scoffs, shaking his head. " spence is not in love with me. " the words come out firm, certain, like saying them aloud will make them true. " and even if she was, you're the one i want, can't you see that ? why the fuck do you think i'm here ? "

      her  hands  come  up  ,  middle  and  index  resting  against  her  temples  as  she  stared  blankly  into  to  his  eyes  .  he  couldn't  be  serious  ...  could  he  ?  "  oh  my  god  ,  "  she  exhales  ,  before  breaking  into  a  somewhat  delirious  fit  of  laughter  .  when  she  finally  comes  to  ,  all  she  can  do  is  marvel  at  how  painfully  unaware  he  could  be  all  the  time  .  "  she's  in  love  with  you  ,  val  .  everyone  can  see  it  .  "  except  him  ,  apparently  .  "  all  this  time  i  thought  you  looked  at  me  differently  because  i  went  after  you  despite  knowing  how  spencer  felt  but  ...  wow  ,  you  really  just  didn't  care  ,  did  you  ?  "

@meltemakcol continued from this. ♥

"right," it's all he manages to offer, his mind already filled with images of them spending way too much time together. it's enough to make him feel uneasy, but as always, he pushes through it, nodding in response. " that's nice, that she has someone to play with. " the male comments, hands buried into the pocket of his coat as blue hues stay on her features. she hadn't changed much, if at all. but at the same time, she was more beautiful than he remembered. his memory really didn't do her justice. " maybe you should make the time, i mean, i'm sure this whole town is probably waiting on you to. i have seen how they look at you," and he couldn't blame them, not really. " but i mean, what do i know ? can barely even remember the last time i was in a relationship. "

[svftlove-a]

open to anyone.

"for being someone you claim to hate, i sure am on your mind a lot."

[svftlove]

" and that's my problem, because ? " as valentin saw it, there was no reason for him to explain himself any further. "sounds like a you problem." he already decided he wouldn't go to her parents' event, even if it was only to teach her a lesson. " jealous ? " he lets out a short laugh, shaking his head. " sweetheart, i don't do jealous, but you're out of your fucking mind if you think you can make me look for a fool in front of other people. " it was more about the fact that people saw her than the flirting in question. appearances were everything in their world, and he had no intention of letting anyone stain his reputation.

he was good at lying, but riley was better at spotting it. still, calling him on it wouldn't make a difference either way. if he didn't want to go, he wouldn't go — even if he could figure out a way to make it work. "you and i both know they won't understand," her arms folded over her chest, a perfectly sculpted eyebrow arching at his next comment. "is that what this is about? you're jealous i did a little flirting so you're backing out on the event tonight?"

[svftlove]

his taller frame leans casually against the door frame, arms crossed over his chest. " come on, i'm a lot of things , but a liar isn't one of them. you don't need beauty sleep, " valentin points out, letting out a soft chuckle. he steps inside without a second thought, a relief sigh escaping him as long legs take him further into the space. " fine, anything you want. " the last thing he wanted was to deal with all these feelings by himself, had never been good at it and he wasn't gonna start now. " do you have anything to drink ? something strong preferably ? "

“ i’d be skeptical and figure out your ulterior motive, of course. “ head leans against the door frame as she studies him carefully, making him suffer by waiting a second more before she lets out a dramatic sigh and pulls open her door, allowing him room to come inside.  “ fine — but, you owe me one. “ 

[hcneylove]

strong eyebrows furrow slightly, a hint of confusion on his features. "maybe not, still doesn't mean i'm leaving you alone in this." his voice is calm but firm, unwavering. " gain from what ? you think i want something from you ? i think you've been surrounded by the wrong people for way too long, not everyone has a fucking agenda."

“you have no idea what you’re getting yourself into ,” and it wasn’t her business to convince someone otherwise . not when she’d done a good job separating things , keeping her personal life under control within the public eye . “i don’t need you to protect me , i can handle myself so what are you looking to gain from this , val ?���
