NSFW Alphabet - Miles Strasburg

(screencap is my own)

Soooo, I spent the weekend watching the Darrow & Darrow movies, and fell head over heels for Miles...which resulted in this. I’m not sorry.

Warnings for a whole lot of smutty headcanons

A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)

Miles is practical. If there’s no water by the bed (or wherever you happened to do it), he’ll go get some. His priority is making sure you stay hydrated. Miles is also a snuggler. After sex, he’ll want to cuddle for as long as you both possibly can. He likes when you lay with your head on his chest or when he can spoon you from behind. As long as there’s a lot of skin to skin contact, and he gets to touch you and tell you how amazing you were, he’s happy.

B = Body Part (Their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

Miles loves his hands, mostly because you love them. He knows that you love how big they are, how long his fingers are, and he loves what they can do to you. As for you, Miles knows it’s a cliché, but he loves your smile. He loves your bright smile that can cheer up the worst day, loves your sleepy morning smile, loves the bedroom smile you give him to let him know just how much you want him, loves the soft, sated smile you wear after. Just everything about your smile. 

C = Cum (Anything to do with cum basically… I’m a disgusting person)

Back to being practical, Miles is gonna keep it wrapped up, even if you’ve been together for a long time, and probably won’t even think about going without a condom until you bring it up. Which means that nine times out of ten, cum doesn’t really get involved. That being said, with some encouragement from you, he does occasionally enjoy cumming on your stomach and chest. 

D = Dirty Secret (Pretty self-explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Miles really wants to fuck you in his office. He thinks about it a lot. He wants to sweep everything to the floor, lay you back on the wood, and absolutely make a mess of you. He’d start by going down you, forcing you to bite down on his tie to stifle your moans, then he’d fuck you. He’d take away his tie, instead kissing you to swallow down both of your noises. And afterwards, if someone mentions a damp patch on his tie? Just some grape soda.

E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)

Miles doesn’t have the most notches on his bed post, but he’s not inexperienced either. He had his share of encounters during Law school and his first few years of being a lawyer. He’s had a lot less since his wife passed, only really having a couple of partners. He’s far from rusty though, and he’s a quick learner...

F = Favorite Position (This goes without saying. Will probably include a visual)

Miles isn’t afraid to shake it up, but he’s a bit of a traditionalist. He likes to keep it simple and stick to missionary. He loves being able to look into your eyes and kiss you at whim, and enjoys feeling your chest heaving under his own. Mostly, he just loves that he can pin your hands to the bed with his own (something he knows also drives you wild.)

G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc)

Though he’s been known to be serious on occasion, usually Miles is pretty goofy. In fact, he thinks that if you’re not having some fun during the act, it’s being done wrong, and you’re breathless giggles that he turns into moans, drives him wild.

H = Hair (How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.)

Miles has never really thought about grooming down there too much, especially when he’s out of a relationship. However, when the two of you start getting serious, and sex comes onto the table, he does keep it trimmed and tidy.

I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect…)

Miles loves to be intimate and romantic. Given time, he enjoys setting the scene. One time you came home to find the bed covered in rose petals, and candles lighting the room. Miles spent the night making love to you, and it was probably the best sex you’d ever had.

J = Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)

In the early days of your relationship, Miles jacked off quite a lot thinking about you. He was so enraptured, how could he not? Though he’d be hard pressed to admit it, he still does sometimes. If you haven’t seen each other in a few days, he’ll masturbate thinking about what he wishes to do to you, and vice versa. 

K = Kink (One or more of their kinks)

Miles isn’t super kinky, but he does enjoy using his tie to blindfold you sometimes. He also purchased some silk rope to tie your hands to the bed too. Miles enjoys sensory play, so keeping you like that means you get to enjoy everything he does to you even more. On occasion, if he’s had a stressful time, Miles does like it if you switch places, and you tie him up instead. He’s also a big fan of the erotic massage, both giving and receiving.

L = Location (Favorite places to do the do)

Miles’ ultimate favourite, hands down, is the bedroom, where you can have complete privacy to explore each other, and take your time.

 M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going)

Miles loves seeing you in a well tailored suit. There’s something about the way the clothes hang perfectly on your body that drives him wild. He is, also, a stereotypical man, and if he comes home to find you in something skimpy and sexy, he’ll think all his Christmases have come at once and that he’s the luckiest man in the world.

N = NO (Something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Roleplay. Specifically roleplay that involves abuse of power somehow. Whilst he obviously understands that it is just an act, and that you’d be consenting, the idea still makes him exceptionally uncomfortable. 

O = Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)

While Miles will always enjoy you going down on him, there’s just something about seeing you on your knees, taking pleasure in giving him pleasure, his preference is always to go down on you. Hearing your moans and the way you chant his name as he uses his mouth to bring you to your peak, is absolutely one of his favourite things ever.

P = Pace (Are they fast and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.)

Miles has been known to get a little rougher, especially if things aren’t going well with a case and he’s frustrated, but usually, he prefers to go slow and take his time. If he can, he’d spend an entire night making love until you’re both sweaty, exhausted messes.

Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)

Miles is definitely not opposed to quickies if the occasion pops-up (that one time during the office Christmas party immediately springs to mind,) but he definitely prefers to take his time.

R = Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)

Miles really isn’t that risky. He doesn’t mind the odd experiment, but only if it’s pretty safe. The riskiest thing the two of you have done was have sex outside one time when you went hiking together.

S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last…)

Miles isn’t as young as he used to be, so he can’t go for that many rounds. The maximum rounds you’ve had together is two (both of which were fantastic so you definitely weren’t complaining.) However, with his age and experience, comes stamina, and Miles can last a long time if he wants to. Which he does, because he always wants to make sure you come as many times as possible before letting go himself.

T = Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)

Miles doesn’t own any toys, and he’s never thought about buying any either. If you show him one of your own though, or go out to buy one as a surprise, he’s going to thoroughly love helping you use it. Maybe a little too much. You’ll be walking funny the next day for sure.

U = Unfair (How much they like to tease)

Oh Miles is going to tease. It takes him some time to get comfortable enough not to stumble over himself, but once he does...he loves it. But, he’ll readily admit, that between the two of you, you’re the superior teaser. Especially when you’re out somewhere public, and start whispering in his ear what you’re thinking, or texting him the odd sexy pic during the day. It drives him mad.

V = Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make)

Miles is pretty quiet, he tends to hold back a bit, not wanting to come across too eager or embarrassing. Half your fun though, comes from dragging every little noise out of him. Your favourites are the small breathy moans he makes when you’re sucking him off, and the half-choked groan when he comes.

W = Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice)

Since meeting you, Miles’ new favourite item of clothing to wear is a tie. He loves when you grab him by it and pull him into a passionate kiss (usually shortly after a trial where you watched him be his awesome self and put a bad guy away.) And the first time you suggested using it to tie your hands or use it as a blindfold, his brain almost broke, but fuck, he loved seeing it on you like that.

X = X-Ray (Let’s see what’s going on in those pants, picture or words)

Look at those pants. Miles is packing. He’s long and thick and curled a little to the left, and every time he fucks you he fills you perfectly, and leaves you craving more.

Y = Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)

In between relationships Miles’ sex drive has never been that high. But when he’s with you, he can never get enough. Even after being together a long time, Miles still craves the touch and feel of your body against his. One of his new dreams is to whisk you away on a vacation where neither of you get out of bed the entire time.

Z = ZZZ (How quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

He hates to admit it, but Miles can’t stay awake for as long as he’d like afterwards. If he had it his way, he’d stay awake long enough to watch you sleep a little first, (he loves how relaxed and at ease you are asleep in his arms,) but that’s not often the case, especially if you’ve been at it awhile. You never mind though. You love watching him sleep as much as he does you, and it means you always fall to sleep with a smile.

Miles Strasburg x Reader Surprise!

**A/N: The picture/edit/gif does not belong to me. It belongs to its rightful owner(s).

You couldn’t stop yourself from giggling as you stood in the bathroom. This was so evil, but oh so worth it. God his expression’s going to be so priceless, he’s never going to see it coming.

This is all thanks to your best friend and how she reminded you that April Fools Day’s coming up.

You placed a hand on your mouth, laughing quietly for a couple more minutes before composing yourself a little. Time to go. You gave yourself one final look before heading out of the bathroom.

“Miles?”

“In the kitchen,” he called out. You smiled and slightly bit down on your bottom lip, heading towards the kitchen. Before going in you took a deep breath and reminded yourself of how this is going to go.

“Miles, I uh need to talk to you,” you walked up to him, fidgeting with your hands a bit.

“What’s up, munchkin?” Miles smiled and slightly raised an eyebrow at you, half-eaten apple in hand. God he’s so adorable. It almost makes you feel bad…

Almost

“Miles I…,” you took out the pregnancy test from your pocket and brought it up to show him saying with a grin, “Surprise, I’m pregnant.”

Oh my, the look on his face! Miles froze in place, stuttering like there’s no tomorrow as he dropped his apple. He blushed furiously and pointed to the himself, then to you, then to the test all the while stuttering.

And that’s when you broke, “Pfft, ahahaha oh my goodness, it was a joke! You should’ve seen the look on your face. April Fools!” You placed the phony test on the table and gripped your stomach because of how hard you were laughing.

What you didn’t notice was the dark glint that appeared in Miles’ eyes and how he moved closer to you. As you calmed down from your laughter you squeaked as you were immediately picked up bridal style.

“Ah, hey!” You looked up to see a dark, strange look on his face causing you to blush deeply. “M-Miles?”

“It’s not going to be a joke for long,” he said gruffly giving you a heated glance as he carried you to the bedroom.

The Inevitable Cardinals Meet the Suddenly Clutch Nationals

ST. LOUIS — His team’s hometown is a hotbed of espionage, but even by Washington standards, this is a bold surveillance operation. While the Nationals face the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Championship Series, one of their top scouts will be staying at the home of the manager of a potential World Series opponent.

The scout is Bob Boone, and the manager is his son, Aaron, who guided the Yankees to the American League Championship Series. Bob Boone, a vice president and senior adviser for the Nationals, will track the Yankees’ games against the Houston Astros in the A.L.C.S. He will do it by commuting to the games in New York from Aaron’s home in Connecticut.

“I’ll ride in with him; I won’t even need a car,” Bob Boone said in Los Angeles late Wednesday night, after the Nationals had roared back to win Game 5 of their division series at Dodger Stadium. “But he never talks too much about baseball, anyway. And he’s on the stat-side, big-time — and that just starts an argument with me.”

The Nationals took a first step to the World Series on Friday, humbling the Cardinals, 2-0, in Game 1 of the N.L.C.S. at Busch Stadium. Anibal Sanchez held the Cardinals hitless until Jose Martinez’s pinch-hit single with two outs in the eighth. He left the game after that, but Sean Doolittle preserved the one-hitter.

For the first game, at least, the Nationals looked as comfortable in a new setting as Boone might have expected. Boone is 71, and a memorable series from his playing career has particular relevance to his current team.

Boone was the catcher for the Philadelphia Phillies, who won the best-of-five N.L.C.S. in 1980 after losing that series in 1976, 1977 and 1978. The victory, a five-game thriller with the Astros, unburdened a roster that had come to be defined by October futility. The Phillies went on to beat Kansas City for their first World Series title.

The Nationals also seek their first championship, and the opportunity was hard-earned. They lost the best-of-five division series four times before their triumph over the Dodgers.

“It’s kind of the same thing, blowing a bunch of them,” Boone said. “We had lost three playoffs, and that Houston series was ridiculous. When we got past that, we knew we were going to beat them. We just relaxed, and we knew we’d beat these guys. We were a clutch team, just like these guys.”

The Nationals? Clutch? Until this month, they had the opposite reputation. But then came their comebacks in the wild-card game against Milwaukee and the N.L.D.S. clincher in Los Angeles. Both times, the Nationals trailed by two runs in the eighth inning while facing an All-Star left-hander. Both times, they rallied to win.

“Keep fighting,” said Anthony Rendon, the Nationals’ star third baseman. “I think that’s the story of, maybe, this organization. We have always either done really, really well and then came up short, or we had been plagued with injuries and had to continue to fight out of a hole that we dug ourselves in the beginning of the year. So we just wanted to keep believing in ourselves and not worry about what people outside of our locker room were saying.”

Rendon scored the go-ahead run off the Brewers’ Josh Hader in the wild card game, after right fielder Trent Grisham misplayed Juan Soto’s two-run single. On Wednesday, Rendon homered off Clayton Kershaw to pull the Nationals within a run, and Soto homered on the next pitch to tie it.

With one on in the 10th inning, Rendon doubled off Joe Kelly, who walked Soto intentionally before serving up the most seismic hit in Nationals’ history: Howie Kendrick’s go-ahead grand slam. Kendrick stayed hot in Game 1, doubling and scoring the Nationals’ first run, and driving in their second run with a single.

But it was fitting that Rendon and Soto helped set up Wednesday’s big blast. They were the only set of qualified teammates in the majors who both had a .400 on-base percentage and a .500 slugging percentage in the regular season. They combined to hit .343 in the division series, and the rest of the Nationals hit .198.

“They’re tough — and they’re tough because they’re plate-disciplined more than anything,” said Matt Wieters, the Cardinals’ backup catcher and a former National, referring to Rendon and Soto. “They’re not going to help you out.”

The Cardinals’ two sluggers, Paul Goldschmidt and Marcell Ozuna, were also at their best in their five-game division series with the Atlanta Braves, both hitting .429 with two homers. Catcher Yadier Molina, the Cardinals’ emotional leader and pitching whisperer, forced the finale with tour de force in Game 4, tying it with a single in the eighth and winning it with a sacrifice fly in the 10th.

The Cardinals are playing in their 10th N.L.C.S. in the last 20 seasons, and Molina has been there for the last eight. He is seeking his fifth trip to the World Series.

“You know you have someone back there who has probably seen just about any situation you can imagine in a baseball game unfold,” said the Cardinals starter for Game 1, Miles Mikolas. “He’s been there, he’s seen it and he’s seen it from the catcher’s viewpoint, which is probably the best one to have. The whole team feeds off that.”

The Nationals did not attempt a stolen base against the Dodgers, but they tied with the Cardinals for the N.L. lead in steals in the regular season, so Molina’s arm could be an important weapon. He will work with starters Adam Wainwright in Game 2, Jack Flaherty in Game 3 and Dakota Hudson in Game 4.

The Nationals have not announced their rotation beyond Sanchez and Max Scherzer in Game 2, but they will surely lean heavily on Stephen Strasburg and Patrick Corbin, who with Scherzer have worked 36 of the team’s 54 innings this postseason. All three have also appeared in relief.

“They have three of the best starting pitchers in baseball,” said Walker Buehler, who started for the Dodgers on Wednesday. “Any time you can throw those three guys out there, you’ve got a chance.”

The Nationals have had many other chances to get to this round. They squandered all of them, but now they have broken through. With four more victories, they might be able to put a certain scout’s reconnaissance to use.

Miles Strasburg x Reader Fly Free

**A/N: The picture/edit/gif does not belong to me. It belongs to its rightful owner(s).

You sat on the couch with your hands together on your lap, staring at the dark, blank screen of the turned off TV. On the outside you looked quiet, tranquil, but on the inside you were a nervous wreck. Thoughts came and went, stress filling you up until you couldn’t take it anymore.

Tears, the human body’s way of releasing chemical overflow of an emotion, welled up in your dulled eyes as Miles came downstairs. He watched your immobile form from behind before making his way over to your seated self. You didn’t register his presence or the fact that he was seated next to you, carefully pulling you to sit on his lap and holding you close to him.

“Munchkin?”

It wasn’t until Miles wiped the tears from your face that you noticed him. You look at his baby blue eyes with your red-rimmed glassy ones, concern evident on his face. You smiled a small smile at him noticing that Miles had his dorky glasses on his adorable face.

Miles brushed your hair to the side, tucking a strand behind your ear and softly speaking, “What’s wrong?”

You bit down on your bottom lip, gathering your thoughts. You looked away, sighing, “Stress, what else? Just when I thought everything was going ok. Going to be ok…”

“Hey, hey, it’ll be ok. You have me.” Miles played with your hair, calming you down a bit. You nodded at his sincere words, taking his other hand and holding it in yours.

“I just… I just don’t know what to do”

Miles thought for a moment, contemplating how to go about this without making things worse or making you feel worse. “Fly free, little bird.” He took your hand and kissed the back of it. Heat rose to your cheeks as he attempted to distract you from your stress, from your problems.

“Miles?”

Next he kissed your forehead, a confused look still on your face as he grinned a bit at you, “We’ll go out and see where the wind takes us. With nothing to think about, but each other and the places around us.”

“Just you and me?”

“Just us, Munchkin, we’ll fly free”

Miles Strasburg x Reader Give it Back!

**A/N: The picture and edit does not belong to me. It belongs to its rightful owner(s).

“Hey, Miles?”

Miles looked up and raised an eyebrow, glasses placed on his adorable face, “Yeah?”

You smirked, quickly slipping his glasses off from his face and placing them on yours. You giggled as he made a face and started squinting at you.

“Ah, hey! I need those,” its true he did need them, but its so much fun to mess with this dork.

“Catch me if you can,” you giggled and darted out of the room Miles slowly behind. He chased you through the entire house, getting close but not close enough. You turned around to find him clumsily bumping into all the furniture. The chase continued for a solid 5 minutes before you deemed that he’s had enough.

You finally slowed down and waited for him in the kitchen. Miles finally caught up to you, cheeks slightly flushed from knocking into almost everything. When he stood in front of you, you gently placed the glasses back on his face and laughed at the look he made.

Miles shook his head at you and picked you up, placing you on the island counter. His arms were on either side of you, trapping you against him. “Oh you’re in for it now, little girl.”

“Am I?” You bit your lip and teased him. The lawyer once again shook his head at you, chuckling before capturing your lips with his. He pulled away and started placing soft, ticklish kisses on your neck.

You laughed and tried to push him away, but it didn’t work. It only made Miles want to hear your cute laugh more.

“Uh huh, and now you need to be punished,” Miles attacked your sides causing you to laugh and squirm in his grasp. He chuckled at your attempts to grab his hands and to contain your laughter.

Soon he stopped and you both slowly came down from your laughing fit. Miles gazed at you with a dorky grin on his face. You shyly smiled at him and pecked his lips.

“You know,” he cupped one of your cheeks and lightly caressed it. “You look absolutely adorable with my glasses on.”

“Really?”

“Uh huh, but please don’t take them from me again. Ok munchkin?”

“Yeah, ok”

Miles Strasburg x Reader Couch Cuddles

**A/N: The picture and edit does not belong to me. It belongs to its rightful owner(s).

You turned off the TV and got off the couch. Earlier you had finished all your work and decided to catch up on some of your favorite TV shows. After stretching your limbs you looked at the clock that reads 10:00 p.m.

Its been a good couple of hours since Miles had retreated to his office to get some work done on his case. He tackled a big case and is working his hardest. Sometimes he forgets to eat, or just forgets himself in general.

You suddenly got an idea and quietly walked to his makeshift office. Leaning against the doorframe, you found him standing at his desk, frantically searching and organizing a file with his back turned to you. 

You bit down on your bottom lip to stop from giggling. Creeping up quietly, you embraced him from behind and burying your head into his back. Miles stiffened up a bit and turned his head to get a side glance of the small person that just attacked him in a hug.

Once he saw that it was you he chuckled. You were just so small compared to him, and he just couldn’t help but laugh at how cute you are.

You pulled back a little, allowing him to turn around to face you and wrap his own arms around you.

“Hey”

“Hey munchkin”

“Miles…Can you come cuddle with me? I-i know you’re busy with this big case and everything, but I miss you,” you looked down and confessed while lightly blushing.

He kissed your cheek and said, “I miss you too. Just let me put these away and then we could cuddle.”

Miles is so kind and considerate, god how did you manage to get someone like him? Once he  put the files away, he walked up to you and gently scooped you up. You let out a small squeak in surprise.

“So-uh… should we go to the bed or to the couch? I’m game for anything as long as you’re comfort-” You silenced his awkward and dorky rambling by kissing him on the lips. After a few seconds he kissed back, but before going for more you pulled away.

“Let’s go to the couch and maybe we can pick up where we left off,” you teased him. A light blush graced his cheeks accompanied by a determined look. 

Miles quickly made his way to the living room, while bumping into a few things like a dork.  You giggled a bit everytime he bumped into something.  God he’s so cute!

Once you both got to the couch, Miles set you down on the ground. He sat on the couch then patted his lap with a goofy grin. You shook your head at him, sitting on his lap and kissing his forehead. 

He wrapped his arms around you again and brought you closer to him. Miles kissed your nose then pecked your mouth.

“So… Can I have more than a kiss?” He asked, his hands softly rubbing circles on your back.

You couldn’t help but shyly smile, “Of course you can, you dork.”

Miles Strasburg x Reader Forgotten Paperwork

**A/N: The picture and edit does not belong to me. It belongs to its rightful owner(s).

You sighed finding Miles’ paperwork on the table. Those were really important for his newest case, and he’s been stressing out about it. Shaking your head and smiling a little, you went to go get dressed to head over to Miles’ office.

After a short walk, you made it to the law firm that he works at. Making your way to his office, you greeted some of the other workers. Finally you arrived at his office and softly knocked on the mahogany door.

“Come in”

You opened the door, smiling widely with the files in hand and saying, “I have a special delivery for a Mr. Miles Strasburg.”

Closing the door behind you, you noticed this was not a scene you expected to see. Paper after paper were spread out on his desk. It looked like he was looking for something specific. Miles looked up from his work with a pencil in his mouth, looking a bit confused. The lawyer’s eyes landed on the files and he slowly took the pencil from his mouth.

“Are those-”

“These are the files that you left at home,” you said handing him the files. “I know these are really important to you, so I brought it in as soon as I can.”

Miles placed the files on his desk and moved his chair back. You crossed your arms as he got up and made his way to you, wrapping his arms gently around you. You placed your hands on Miles’ chest and looked up into his icy blue eyes. God they were so beautiful.

“I don’t know what I’d do without you,” Miles said, resting his forehead against yours. You blushed while he ran a hand lightly up and down your back.

“You’d probably lose that case,” you giggled, cupping his face and pecking his nose. “I love you.”

Miles grinned and pecked your lips, “I love you too.”

Headcanon: Cheering Miles Up When He Gets Upset

**A/N: The picture/edit/gif does not belong to me. It belongs to its rightful owner(s).

Immediately knowing when he's upset, but not knowing what's causing it

So you take his hand and lead him out to the small forest that's near town

Quietly enjoying the silence as the sunlight filters through the trees and the leaves rustle around you

The forest is sort of like a safe place for you and Miles

He's still lost in his head even out here

When you both stop at the small spring your eyes soften up when you look up at him

"What's going on in that head of yours, babe?"

"The case, it's frustrating Munchkin"

"I know, but you'll find a lead, I promise. You always do"

Gradually cheering his mood up with your bright smile

When you two get home, Miles goes straight back to his office

At first you tried to bake his favorite dessert for later... which ended up getting ruined...

So you surprise him with Indian takeout

"Munchkin, you didn't have to"

"Yeah, but I'd do anything just to see you smile again"

Giving him lots of hugs and little kisses

Relaxing on the couch, watching some comedy shows

Ushering Miles to bed when you see that he's starting to doze off

Which causes him to pout adorably at you

The next day when you find Miles in his office, you come in and try to help

You look over the case and find an odd detail, pointing it out to him

Which gives Miles a lightbulb moment

"How did I not see that?"

"A fresh pair of eyes was all it needed"

Being so happy that you were useful with all this law stuff

He basically now has everything to finish this big case

Waiting for him to finish with the official paperwork and everything by reading a book

"Done!"

Aw, his bright smiles back

Celebrating with ice cream and cuddles!

You being his sunshine and voice of reason
