"Double Trouble"

Betty and Veronica staking out to stalk the twin hunk stars of the Bopperpop Gum ads. The look over to find out if Wrigley Doublemint ads ever had male twins in their long-lasting twins hawking gum as campaign garners a negative. For a second I think a mid-80s ad has two male twins fancying the Doublemint twins, but the next shot of the guys shows they aren't twins.

The state of Laverne and Shirley reruns in 1999 -- it was on Nick at Night, so I guess that is the tv viewing habits of the Bobberpop Twins. Interesting, back in 1991 when Betty and Veronica endeavored to follow a celebrity crush, they were inspired by a different tv sitcom.

Again?

Applying BenGay to my neck before I slide into bed is such an aphrodisiac.

Atem: Ante is one vanilla wafer. Table limit, four mint Milanos.

Yugi: ...

Atem: Something wrong, Partner?

Yugi: No. Everything's fine.

Atem: Spill it.

Yugi: Be honest. We're playing with cookies because you think I'm a kid, right?

Atem: Well, yes.

Yugi: I'm 17! If these were the Middle Ages, I'd already be married and own a pair of oxen. I'm an adult. A young adult.

Atem: ...I'll get my wallet.

Yugi: I'll get my Smurf bank.

***

Atem: Two pairs, kings and queens.

Yugi: Three aces.

Atem: ...

Yugi: Sorry, Other Me. You're $94 in the hole. Should we play again?

Atem: I think not.

Yugi: Are you mad at me?

Atem: Of course not, Partner. You play very well. Where did you learn? A back alley in Calcutta?

***

Yugi: Honestly, Other Me, it'd make me feel a lot better if you'd just take your money back.

Atem: No, thank you. A pharaoh always accepts his losses gracefully.

Yugi: Okay, Other Me, but you're sure we're still friends?

Atem: Of course, Partner.

***

Yugi: Other Me, I took a piece of gum from your windbreaker.

Atem: Quite all right, Partner.

Yugi: No, I insist on paying you back. Here.

Atem: A stick of Doublemint costs but a few pennies.

Yugi: A few pennies, $94. Why split hairs?

Atem: Partner, you have offended my honor.

Yugi: Honor schmonor.

Atem: Partner!

Yugi: I'm sorry, Other Me, but I'm sick and tired of you acting like a pouty baby just because I beat you at something.

Atem: I apologize, Partner. I have acted like an utter fool.

Yugi: That's all right, Other Me.

Dieter Bravo x gn reader

My entire masterlist and blog are for readers 18+ MDNI. I do not consent to my work being used in AI, recommended on TikTok, borrowed or plagiarized.

Summary: Moving into your new apartment went well. Your new landlord seems pretty chill. You see him a lot though, why is that?

Warnings: Non-consensual voyeurism, masturbation (mentioned but not in detail), edibles, weed use, erotic paintings, food mention

Word Count: 936

Notes: Written for the Roll-a-Trope Writing Challenge presented by @burntheedges . I have it in just under the wire. 👀 I wasn’t not sure I’d be able to write something or not, but I’m glad I was. My trope was “landlord Dieter” so here we are. Not beta-ed, I dunno what I wrote so all mistakes are mine.

Main Masterlist/ Dieter Bravo Masterlist/ Writing Challenges

Dieter sometimes wonders how exactly he ended up staring at his media setup in his office. His apartment on the top floor is one of the penthouses that allows for more room. He has four different screens, all active and his gaze is switching between them. He’s sitting in just his robe, rolling some special herbs and spices into his usual blunt. His favorite show is about to start.

You.

It was an easy deal to strike with his cousin who needed a few hundred bucks as his car always stays in the impound. Dieter told him not to ask any questions, just install the cameras and show Bravo how to access them. He did, his cousin had his money and Dieter had the set-up complete. The only reason Dieter gave as he knew his cousin may blab to someone about the cameras being installed, was that the apartment you now reside in was a model apartment to show potential tenants. It took Dieter’s cousin off his scent and it took months before Bravo would finally rent that unit out. 

You moved in six months ago, one of Dieter’s last move-ins. He gave you a tour of the building, amenities, and the unit himself. Usually, he leaves the office manager to do the tours, but they always make sure to at least introduce new tenants to Dieter before touring them. He quickly told him that he would handle things from here. A piece of gum was popped into his mouth as he offered you one as well. You giggled and took a stick of Doublemint from him. His palm touched the small of your back as he led through the building. You’re so comfortable with him, you really shouldn’t be but Bravo is grateful. That way, he won’t feel bad about his late-night viewing. 

Dieter Bavo made sure to be there for the day of your move-in, assisting where he could and providing jokes where he could. He bought lunch for you, some burgers, fries, and a lemonade. Eating on your new leather couch, Dieter finds himself to be enamored with you. He’s thankful he didn’t see anyone move in with you and no other names on your lease besides yours. He leaves and bids you a good evening, though he’s glad to be taking the elevator up to his apartment to view more of you. Over the first month after you’ve moved in, Dieter notes that you have a routine after you get home from work:

Watching you move around your apartment, drop your work bag and keys. 

Sit down to read. (That’s your third book this month. Maybe he should read while you’re at work. What book is that?)

Watch TV later. (Changing the camera angle he can see what show you’re watching, the Glenn guy is everywhere. Dieter has stubble too, maybe not as much, but enough to give a good burn.)

Undress and apply your lotions after your shower. (In retrospect, maybe he should have put one in the bathroom, but he wasn’t sure if his cousin would be able to find one of those waterproof cameras. Maybe he’ll rub that decadent cream on your legs and back one day too.) 

Pulling out your special bog of toys. (Investing in a quality bag to store your nightly enjoyment in is self-care as far as Dieter is concerned. He may need to check out that brand of lube, he’s heard about it, but hasn’t bought it because he’s familiar with the one he uses.)

In the second month, Dieter now not only masturbates watching you but also thinks about whether you like edibles. You’ve commented that you’re not a fan of smoke, no matter cigarette or weed. He could offer you some edibles to try out though, fruit flavors to start. Bravo makes it a point to ‘run into you’ around the building. At the pool, workout area, and mailboxes. You comment that see him often and maybe you should have lunch again, this time you’ll buy. Dieter insists that you don’t and more burgers are had, in his apartment. It’s an open concept, has a lot of light and you see his easel near one of the windows. 

Dieter’s too busy sipping his lemonade and trying to figure out if he’s going to offer grape edibles or apple flavor. He hears you gasp and ask, “What is this?” He now recalls what’s over there and scratches his exposed belly as he stretches an arm upward.

“What I imagine you to look like when you come. What do you think?” Bravo smiles as he walks over to you. Your eyes are fixed on the incomplete painting. The furrow of your brows, placement of your legs, and the surrounding color match those of your sheets, how would he know all of that?

“It’s fairly detailed. You even got my mole and my scars, those edibles help with that?” You both laugh and you take one apple and one grap from Dieter’s palm, chewing them both. 

“Maybe. No other questions thought, most would have a different reaction to this.” His surprise has you walk over to the couch and lie across it. It’s bizarre for sure, but endearing in a way. Plus the toys are only getting the job done but so well. Bravo moves his way over and stands before the couch above you, his breathing quickening as a bulge forms beneath his pajama bottoms. His large palms land on your thighs as he bends down to eye level with you.

“Wanna see if you can have me make that face for you Dee?”
