Drive Me Crazy - Chapter 2.

Pairing Travis Kelce x Reader

Words 1661

Warnings Strong language, but not much and a wee bit of flirting.

Huge thank you to the Anon who sent this in! They had such amazing words to say about my writing which I massively appreciate and then to top it off, had an incredible request for me! I only have experience with mechanics in the UK, so I've tried my best with this one! "I just recently got interested in Travis K. X reader stories and wanted to let you know, I read all of yours as quickly as I could. They are so well done and I couldn’t help but laugh/giggle and feel through each word you typed out. You’re doing amazing and I’m so glad to have stumbled onto your page. If you have any space for a request, I’d be curious about what Trav would think about having a military (like fighter pilot) or engineer or mechanic girlfriend. I see a lot of stories with him paired with models/singers/social media individuals (which are phenomenal!) but just wondering how he would be with a more tomboy like girlfriend!"

CHAPTER 1

CHAPTER 2

The dialling tone rang loudly in your ear for a few seconds as you wedged the office phone between your head and left shoulder. You typed up a couple of notes on the computer when the other end of the line picked up.

"Hello?"

"Hi, it that Mr Kelce? It's Y/N from KC Auto repairs." You said, checking your notes.

A deep voice laughed, "Hey, yeah it's Travis. You can call me Travis."

"Oh, okay Travis. I had a look at your car and there is a problem with your combustion chamber. You see, vehicles need the right amount of air and fuel to mix and then-"

"Woah woah, you lost me at combustion." Travis said, "Just tell me, is the car a goner?"

You giggled, "No, you just need new spark plugs. It's around $250 including labour."

You could hear him sigh down the line, "Oh! That's fine then, do what you need to do."

"Okay, sure thing. I'll be finished with it by 4pm. Are you able to come and collect around then?"

There was a short silence, "I've got a crazy day. I got a couple of things to figure out first, I don't know if I'll be around."

You checked your schedule in the large leather bound diary in front of you, "Well, I'll be in the shop late working on some other cars, so if you drop by anytime before 7, I should still be here."

"Awesome, I'll stop by!"

"Great, catch you later." You placed the phone back onto the receiver and quickly jotted down in your diary details to remind yourself to replace Travis' spark plugs.

The office door opened and the noises of the shop floor grew increased for a second before they were muffled again as the door closed.

"Hey sport." You felt your Dad's hands on your shoulders, "Your headache gone yet?"

"Not really. I already got two cars to finish up, a service and now these new spark plugs for do for that GMC." You pointed your pen in the direction of Travis' car as you began to write out a worksheet.

Your Dad leant down across your shoulder, "I could do the GMC for you?"

"Dad no, Dr Martin said you had to take it easy." You covered the worksheet with your hand.

He swiped your hand away, "Oh come on, I'm fine! It's spark plugs."

You laughed until you noticed that his face had quickly changed when he caught sight of the sheet, "What's wrong?"

His once rosy cheeked complexion was now a ghostly shade of white, "Travis Kelce...you have Travis Kelce's car here?"

"Yeah, why?"

His eyes widened as he looked towards the shop floor, "His car is in my shop? The GMC, that's Travis Kelce's car?"

Your eyebrows lowered in confusion, "Yeah, he dropped it off this morning?"

"Oh man! Y/N, you gotta let me do it! The boys at the fishing lake aren't gonna believe this!"

"What is going on? Who is this guy?" Your voice was beginning to heighten in pitch.

Your Dad lifted his sweatshirt up to reveal a bright red jersey with the number 87 emblazoned on the front, "Travis Kelce is one of the greatest tight ends the Chiefs have ever seen!"

You rolled your eyes and turned back to your diary for the day.

"Which you would know if you ever watched football with me!" He poked you in the arm with his finger.

You tore off the worksheet from the pad, "If I give you this, will you stop shouting and making my headache worse?"

You Dad carefully took the paper from your hands and gently kissed the top of your head before dancing his way out of the office and onto the shop floor, Travis' GMC waiting in the corner of the garage.

______________________________________________________________

Glancing at the digital clock on the wall, you noted that it was 6.25pm. All of your colleagues had already left for the day, leaving you in the shop by yourself. You preferred working alone but your Dad's business had built up a good reputation in the city for being the best repair shop and it was always busy.

When you were younger, you had always preferred fixing your Barbie's houses to make them better as apposed to playing with the dolls themselves. As a teenager you could always be found in the workshop tinkering with tools and learning everything you could from your Dad. You started helping him in his shop during the summer and when you left school, he took you on and gave you a job. You saved every penny you could and when your Dad needed to take a step back from work, you bought into the business, running it alongside him.

You gazed up at the underside of the Ford that was lifted above you, squinting as the night drew in. The crackled radio played in the background and as you hummed along to yourself, the faint sound of footsteps seemed to blend into the music.

"Um...hello?"

You turned your head towards the direction of the deep voice, a silhouette standing in the doorway of the shop.

You squinted further, trying to make out any defining features but to no avail. "Karl, if this is you trying to scare the shit out of me, you gotta try harder than that." You shook your head and dropped your wrench down onto the floor, the sound of the metal hitting the cement loudly echoing in the vast room.

The figure stepped further forwards, his hands held up, "I'm sorry...it's Travis. I'm just here to pick up my car?"

You felt your cheeks flush red, "Travis? I am so sorry, that was really unprofessional of me."

"Hey, it's all good! Don't worry, I probably shouldn't have lingered in the doorway watching you."

Your mouth twisted to the side, "You were watching me?"

His eyes grew bigger, "Not in a creepy way. But now I've said that it wasn't in a creepy way, it sounds like it was in a creepy way."

You wiped your hands on your towel, smiling slightly as you listened to him struggle.

"I was just...impressed. Like I said earlier, I have no clue when it comes to shit like this." He looked around the room at the various tools and parts that were dotted around.

You slowly nodded your head, "Well, thanks...I guess?"

Travis scratched the back of his head and looked down at his feet, a clear indication that he was nervous. You took the opportunity to really look at him. He was wearing bright white trainers, dark wash jeans and a Louis Vuitton jacket with a white shirt underneath. He was so pristine and you were quite concerned that he wouldn't make it out of the shop without a smudge of oil on him.

"So, my car?"

You looked towards it, digging the keys from one of your many pockets, a couple of bolts coming out with them, "Uh yeah, my Dad took great pride in fixing your car. He's a big fan."

"Oh yeah? Well please, tell your Dad I said thanks!" He smiled before looking around again, "You on your own?"

You sighed, "Yeah, I got a few things to clear up on these babies and then I'll be done."

He unlocked his car and opened the door, pausing for a second before he turned back to you, "Wanna go for a drink?"

Your heart stopped for a beat or two and your chest tightened, a feeling you weren't used to. Men didn't usually ask you out, especially not at work. You didn't exactly make an effort to only be covered in grease all day and everyone knew that your Dad wouldn't be far away, meaning most potential dates kept you very much at an arms length. But here he was, an exception.

"I've still got some work to do." You looked down at your current appearance, "And I might not be down with the latest trends, but I'm pretty sure no one will let me in anywhere looking like this."

Travis smiled coyly, "So, is that a no?"

You winced at his hidden hurt, guessing he wasn't used to women turning him down, "Thanks...but no." Digging into your pocket, you retrieved his invoice, black fingerprints smudged across the paper.

As he reached to take the invoice, his large hand covered yours and you subconsciously held your breath, a fast heat rising to your face.

"No sweat, I might see you around anyway?" He jumped into his car, turning the engine on, "I'll wire you the money for the spark...things."

You nodded in acknowledgement, watching as he pulled away carefully out of the garage and into the night. You unclenched your shoulders and laughed to yourself, turning your attention back to the Ford.

______________________________________________________________

"A package? Who from?" You questioned.

Jordan shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know. I didn't open it."

"We never get packages."

You became slightly distracted as Jordan tugged at the bottom hem of his hoodie and pulled it up and over his head, his shirt lifting up slightly to reveal a peek at his toned abs. He threw the garment onto the floor beside him and gazed at you.

"Y/N?"

You blinked, "Uh...I'll go and have a look now."

You furrowed your brows, making your way towards the office and shaking your head on the way, exacerbated at yourself.

On the desk was a small brown package with no indication of who it was from. You ripped open the paper and carefully pulled out the framed photograph. It was a picture of Travis midgame, the ball safely clutched in his gloved hands and speeding towards the end zone. He had signed the corner of the photograph. You turned the frame over to see some slightly messy handwriting on the back.

"For your Dad."

You smiled at his kind gesture.

"Let me know when you want to go for that drink."

Designing A Traditionalist Commune

Inspired by chatting with @tradgirllife and @unprofessionalcat about this kind of thing and wanting to share my plans; this is going to be one long post.

Village Layout

Throughout, I will be presupposing a commune of c.100 families adding up to c.500 people. Also, because UK and US English sometimes use the same name for different plants and vice versa, all plants will also come with scientific names. Additionally, this is calibrated to the climate and ecology of Britain; adjust for where you live.

At the centre of the village is the church, which will also double as the meeting place for the village (this will be important later). It sits at the centre of 1000 acres of communally-held sheep pasture planted with clover, (trifolium pratense) dandelions (taraxacum officinale), yarrow (achillea millefolium) and maize (zea mays; this one is useful if the potato crop fails), with this same space including various other facilities - a printing shop, a blacksmith's, a stream for water and a glassworks. The dead are also buried here, with small, subtle gravestones.

Ringing that are houses (design will be discussed soon), each with an acre of land containing potatoes (peel helps feed chickens and a very dense, low-effort-to-prepare carbohydrate source), sweetcorn, beans and squash (the sweetcorn forms a trellis for the beans, the beans fix nitrogen for the sweetcorn and the squash helps both retain moisture) and carrots and onions (carrots ward off onion flies and onions ward off carrot flies), and a fruit grove with chickens (the trees provide the chickens with interesting insects to eat and that in turn keeps the trees pest-free). As for area, 4000 square feet (doubled to 8000 for paths and storage) will feed a single person on a vegetarian diet for a year. There are 43,650 square feet in an acre. 8000X5 = 40,000 for vegetables, with the remaining 3650 square feet being used for chickens and fruit.

Ringing that, in turn, is a forest of Himalayan birch (betula utilis) for firewood and writing material, Sitka spruce (picea sitchensis) for timber and resin/glue and white willow (salix alba) for baskets, painkiller and tannin (for leather-making) production with ponds containing tench (tinca tinca) and mallards (anas platyrhynchos) for meat and eggs (in addition, ground fish bones can be added to chicken feed). Ground shrubs will be similar to those in the sheep field.

House Design

Houses will be built out of straw bales, with a foundation of stones (to prevent damp seeping in), a coating of limewash (to add resistance to fire and water) and wooden cladding (to stop rain; Britain is very wet. Feel free to leave this out in a dry area). Straw bale building is cheap and (if you tie the bales tightly) very warm and surprisingly fire-resistant. However, I envision repairs and new houses leading to a gradual replacement with timber buildings. Rooves consist of a timber frame upon which is placed soil in which to grow herbs for consumption (for the UK I'm thinking oregano, yarrow, parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme). This will necessitate strong rooves with gentle slopes, but will be doable, and will increase cultivation space and take advantage of the UK's fairly high rainfall.

Inside, the centre of the house is a wood-burning stove over which the cooking is done. Surrounding that are chairs which people sit on to consume meals, with wooden bookcases (books are printed on birch bark, with charcoal-based ink, wool string and spruce resin for binding and a leather cover) and assorted ornaments. I'm a man, ornamenting houses isn't my thing - women and girls reading this, provide your ideas. Windows are fairly small due to local production limitations, and so there are quite a few of them. In winter, the house is lit with candles made from beeswax or tallow (so we'll want a few beekeepers) and reeds (from around the ponds), made by one of these processes.

To the side are bedrooms. These are fairly unadorned, consisting of a wooden bed, a mattress made from wool and/or feathers, a blanket and pillow of the same and some personal possessions. Also there should be a spinning wheel for the woman of the house to use.

To the back and just outside is the compost toilet. It consists of a wooden shack over a chamber for excreta and another chamber for composting. A bit of guttering funnels urine outside into a barrel of straw (also for composting). Washing is done in a metal tub, with soap made of animal fat or vegetable oil and wood ash.

Clothing

Clothes are made of wool, dyed with nettles (urtica dioica) for grey-green, dandelions for pale yellow, and whatever else is locally available. In addition, natural sheep colours give a range of white, grey, brown and black. Shoes will be made of sheepskin, and some people taking up shoemaking will thus be much appreciated.

In terms of clothing, I'm not particular about styles. I imagine that men will dress something like this and women something like this, but I am very much not particular. I'm a man.

Diet

As composed from the ingredients above, mostly potatoes accompanying vegetable stews of a considerable range. Some treats, such as pancakes, cider and meat, but mostly fairly plain.

Political System

The village is governed by two bodies - the magistrates and the assembly.

The magistrates consist of three randomly-selected adult citizens, with the proviso that they cannot have committed a crime in the last three years and they cannot serve consecutive terms. They meet weekly to judge crimes and set the agenda for the assembly.

The assembly consists of all adults of the community, meeting monthly to vote on proposed laws and actions and vote on applicants for citizenship. The citizenship can vote to modify proposed laws.

Due to the lack of state apparatus, crimes are punished by fines (for minor crimes, especially property crimes), exile (for major crimes - those who are exiled have their crimes, date of exile and sentence length tattooed on their non-dominant hands) or execution (for serious crimes, although this needs to be put up to the assembly and only violent or sexual crimes can be capital).

Note to say if you like this and/or would like to live here, reblog with any comments, questions or criticisms you have.

Okay, lads. Essay incoming...

So, studies have definitively claimed that a vegan diet is less harmful to our environment than one that contains meat and dairy.

The adoption of Veganuary in the UK alone is expected to have saved the earth’s atmosphere from the equivalent production of CO2 as 450,000 flights from London to Berlin, as well as 2. million of litres of water, according to a study by a professor at the University of Oxford.

But is this the same for our clothing and shoes, well no.

Vegan leather may sound more sustainable than its animal-based counterpart, but that's not always the case.

Synthetic leather is made from with PVC and polyurethane. These materials are plastic and petroleum-based, so not they are not an eco-friendly alternative. This is particularly common within fast fashion. This material will not last as long as leather making it both bad for the environment and for your pocket.

The material is easier to make and cheaper than genuine leather because genuine leather requires finding the right animals with the right skin and multiple stages of artisan processes. 

They are forms of vegan leather and can are derived from more natural materials such as cork, cactus leaves, paper, apples and bananas.

There’s also the option of regenerated leather, which is animal leather that’s been used before. It's the remix, baby.  

Now whether or not vegan leather can be considered “sustainable” depends on how it was made. For instance, plastic-based leather alternatives, while not directly harming animals in the production process, can still take years to degrade, which is harmful to the environment.

So is plastic pollution more detrimental than the environmental impacts of traditional leather? Well, here is where it where gets tricky. It's hard for one person to make an impact, and personal choices are is a stressful minefield to walk.

The most sustainable thing anyone can do is simply buy less and with the advantaged person unable to drop big bucks on mushroom leather, your best bet is leather. And to try and get it second-hand.

Long-lasting materials are better than cheap vegan leathers that will sit around in a landfill for centuries. 

Leather shoes can be repaired at cobblers, I have a pair of doc martens that have lasted 6 years with help from my local cobbles!

Support your local cobblers or Timpson cobblers. Timpsons is now one of the largest employers of ex-offenders in the UK, so please do support them! They also sell great and affordable kits that help to look after your leather shoes, you can keep them looking great and give them a long lifespan.

With over a billion animals getting slaughtered each year for their skins and hide, it's hard not to want to buy fake leather if chose to buy vegan leather, try to go down the non-plastic route and buy vegan leather that is sustainably made.

But if you can't afford that, it's best to buy leather. To avoid waste, try and buy it and take care of it.

The best one person can do is to make their clothing work for their budget and avoid fast fashion.

"Vegan Leather"

Plastic. just say plastic.

Bed Sofa UK Care Tips: How to Maintain and Extend the Life of Your Bed Sofa

A bed sofa, also known as a sofa bed or sleeper sofa, is a versatile and practical piece of furniture that can transform your living space. Perfect for small homes, guest rooms, or multi-purpose areas, a bed sofa combines the comfort of a sofa with the functionality of a bed. To ensure your bed sofa UK remains in top condition and serves you well for years, proper care and maintenance are essential. Here are some expert tips to help you extend the life of your bed sofa and keep it looking and functioning like new.

1. Regular Cleaning and Maintenance

Keeping your bed sofa UK clean is crucial for maintaining its appearance and functionality. The type of cleaning required depends on the material of the sofa. For fabric sofas, vacuum regularly to remove dust and crumbs. Spot clean stains immediately with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the fabric, as excessive moisture can lead to mold and mildew.

For leather bed sofas, dust and wipe down the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Use a leather cleaner and conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent it from drying out or cracking. Always test any cleaning product on a small, inconspicuous area before applying it to the entire sofa.

2. Protect from Sunlight and Heat

Sunlight can cause fading and deterioration of both fabric and leather over time. To prevent sun damage, position your Bed Sofa UK away from direct sunlight or use curtains or blinds to shield it from UV rays. If possible, arrange the sofa in a way that minimizes exposure to intense heat sources, like radiators or fireplaces, which can also damage the material.

3. Use Protective Covers

Protective covers are a great investment for prolonging the life of your bed sofa. For fabric sofas, a slipcover can protect against spills, stains, and everyday wear. Choose a cover that is machine washable for easy upkeep. For leather sofas, consider using a breathable cover to protect the surface while allowing the material to breathe.

4. Check and Maintain Mechanisms

The mechanism of a bed sofa, whether it’s a click-clack, pull-out, or fold-down style, is crucial to its functionality. Regularly check the mechanism to ensure it’s working smoothly. If you notice any stiffness or difficulty in opening or closing the bed, address it promptly. Lubricate the hinges or moving parts with a suitable lubricant to keep everything running smoothly.

5. Rotate and Fluff Cushions

To prevent uneven wear and maintain the shape of your bed sofa UK, regularly rotate and fluff the cushions. For foam cushions, this means occasionally flipping them and reshaping them to distribute wear evenly. For sofa beds with removable cushions, rotate them periodically to ensure all sides wear evenly and remain comfortable.

6. Avoid Excessive Weight and Misuse

Although bed sofas are designed to handle regular use, avoid placing excessive weight on them or using them improperly. For example, don’t use the sofa bed mechanism as a makeshift trampoline or overload it with heavy items. Following the manufacturer’s guidelines for weight limits and usage will help prevent premature wear and tear.

7. Address Spills and Stains Immediately

Accidents happen, and when they do, it’s important to address spills and stains immediately to prevent long-term damage. Blot spills with a clean cloth rather than rubbing, which can spread the stain or damage the material. For fabric sofas, use a suitable upholstery cleaner for stains. For leather sofas, blot the area and use a leather cleaner designed for your specific type of leather.

8. Professional Cleaning and Repairs

For deep cleaning or significant repairs, consider hiring a professional. Upholstery cleaners can handle tough stains and deep cleans that might be difficult to manage on your own. Additionally, if your bed sofa UK has mechanical issues or structural damage, a professional repair service can address these problems effectively and extend the lifespan of your furniture.

9. Keep Pets and Children in Mind

If you have pets or young children, extra precautions may be necessary to protect your bed sofa. Provide designated areas for pets to rest and train them to avoid jumping on or scratching the sofa. For children, use protective covers and teach them to handle the sofa gently. Regular vacuuming and prompt cleaning of any spills or accidents will help maintain the sofa’s condition.

10. Regular Inspections

Finally, regularly inspect your bed sofa for any signs of damage or wear. Check the frame, cushions, and upholstery for any issues that may need attention. Early detection of problems allows you to address them before they become more serious, ensuring your bed sofa UK remains in great condition.

A bed sofa is a valuable and versatile addition to any home, providing both comfort and functionality. By following these care tips, you can extend the life of your bed sofa UK, keeping it looking and functioning beautifully for years. Regular cleaning, proper maintenance, and timely repairs will ensure that your bed sofa remains a stylish and practical centerpiece in your home.
