this cactus ring is looking a lil bit different (compilation of some shiny duo moments from mcc p24)

also can i say i love it when marc pretends that he doesn’t know he is the benchmark for all others even broken and on bad machinery while he is also CLEARLY internally holding himself to a standard where he is the benchmark in his head. and then he comes to the press and verbally is all fake humble like idk… maybe third in the championship… like cmon. my man. why are we playing this game.

sliding in under the edge of october 27th to post this excerpt from chapter 74:

Cliopher drummed his heels against the hull, enjoying the still-so-familiar sound. He had spent uncountable hours sitting there, watching the sea, watching the sky, singing the Lays, drawing the dances over and over again in his mind's eye.

Can I ask for 8, N, and 𓃓, with choscar, pretty please?

Lots of love 💖🕊️

8 - “i’m taking you home, and that’s that.”; N - fondness; 𓃓 - at work, far later than you should be (hi anon!!! thank you for such a delightful prompt! 💕 please enjoy a little bit of musician charles!!!)

(prompt list here!)

Charles bangs the keys in frustration as he messes up another recording.

“Going well, huh?”

Charles winces. “Hi baby,” he says, resolutely focusing on the piano in front of him and not his boyfriend behind.

“Do you know what time it is?”

Charles hasn’t got the faintest idea what time it is. He knows he started working on this piece around 8pm and he can’t have been here that long, but clearly it’s late enough for Oscar to be pissed at him.

“Midnight?” he guesses.

Oscar sighs. “It’s 3am, Charles. I’ve been waiting for you to come home for four hours.”

“Oh.”

“Yes. Oh.”

Charles finally spins around in the stool to face Oscar, who’s leaning in the doorway to the studio. “I am sorry,” he says, “I got caught up in writing my new song and then I wanted to record it straight away so that I could release it sooner but then I kept hitting the wrong notes and-”

“Do you not think maybe the reason you were struggling to play the song right was because it’s, again, 3am?”

“…perhaps.”

Oscar pushes up from the wall and crosses the room to Charles. He rests his elbow on Charles’ shoulder and puts a hand in his hair, guiding Charles to rest his forehead against his stomach. Charles sighs as he lets his weight rest against Oscar, trusting him to hold him steady.

Oscar starts carding his hand through Charles’ hair and quietly asks, “Is this because of that review?”

“No,” Charles lies. Oscar stops petting him and Charles huffs. “Alright, perhaps it is about the review.”

“It’s bullshit,” Oscar says firmly.

“But what if it is not?”

“It is. You are one of the most talented piano composers in the world.”

“Oscar,” Charles whines.

“It’s true! You are so talented, Charles, and that critic who said otherwise is talking out of his ass.”

Charles stares up at Oscar. “Really?” he asks softly.

Oscar smiles at him gently. “Really. But for now, you need to go to bed.”

“But-”

“Nope. I’m taking you home and that’s that.”

“Ok,” Charles says. Giving in to Oscar is worth the tender kiss he presses to the top of his head.

I thought I could catch you for sure at 2km left

Pag 3

Pag 4

3: Ah!?

He

4: caught up!? Who....

Pag 5

1: who the hell are you!?

2: The two people in the lead are taking the curve and passing the sign that says that there's 1km left until the sprint line.....

Pag 6

1: No, it's three people!!

Three people passed the “1km left” sign!!

2: There's more people!? Since when!?

Wasn't it two people!?

What happened!? Who's that? That jersey-

At the last curve, suddenly-

3: It's not “who are you”....!!

Dammit!! I know!! This guy!!

Pag 7

1: There's one more person who we need to pay special attention to

2: Gunma Ryousei's third year, Kiji Kyuui

3: Ohh, Kiji? Who's that

Oi, I already told you about this in advance, Manami!! Come on, at the sea

Is that so?

4: What's your data about him?

5: There's basically no record of him in road racing

6: He's an..... “assassin” from the MTB world, huh

7: Is he aiming for the goal?

8: Yeah.... the goal...

That's right....

We should be glad

Pag 8

1: That he's only aiming for the goal

2: Hayaaaa!!

3: Dammit!! The first result.... so you're aiming for the sprint too!?

4: Since they said you were aiming for the goal I thought you were a climber like Manami!!

Pag 9

1: Let's speed up, Orange!! He'll catch up!!

2: I've seen it before!! This guy's jersey

3: That day.... he appeared suddenly on that bike with the thick tires

Pag 10

1: It's the guy who chased Onoda-san and the Hakogaku guy with the bouncy hair!!

2: Before that, Onoda-san said they were friends and that he's “strong”!!

3: He's coming to catch up to

4: mine and San-na's battle

Pag 11

1: He really is strong!!

Let's switch, I'll pull!!

Pag 12

1: Orange!!

3: They're in tune

You have amazing judgment and explosive power!!

4: When I caught up at the last curve

5: Even though they could have also accepted me and made me join them

Without making eye contact or calling out to each other, in an instant at the same time they made the decision

6: that they would “cooperate” to leave me behind!! Yon!!

You're really....

Pag 13

4: What's that

He's lowering his stance and pushing on the handles like he's about to dance....!!

5: Hayaaaa

Pag 14

1: You're really close friends!!

Pag 15

4: He lined up to us in one go!?

Pag 16

1: This guy!! Was it an optical illusion? Just now, I saw something like a cloud of dust behind me

2: Takadajou told us this

Be careful

3: I've been told that the power that a MTB rider can produce in a short time

4: is 1.5 times that of a road racing cyclist

5: This guy can match this top speed!?

8: Ah!?

9: Huh!?

Pag 17

2: In between!?

He came in between!?

Ah!?

3: You bastard, usually when one catches up he joins in the back

Pag 18

1: It's road racing theory!!

4: This guy doesn't know the theory?

5: 800m left until the sprint line!!

6: 1

Pag 19

Pag 21

1: Ahead, yon

2: So it really was a sign for attacking!!

Who's that guy!!

it’s def gonna be begula or pirro cuz it ISNT gonna be cele (sorry sweet angel) and vale would rather saw off several toes than set foot on a ducati spec bike that is notoriously tricky to ride and that marc marquez has also won two races on this year. but all that being SAID. for my situations. please imagine a reality with me here today where vale shows up in sepang to ride for NO reason
