Bucky Barnes X Male reader X Steve Rogers

Pt1

⚠️ threesome, bottom Steve, switch Bucky, top male reader, fingering, creampie ⚠️

🚨 Minors and girls do not interact 🚨

______________________________________________________________

It's been about a month since the incident in Romania. Y/n, Bucky, and Steve have become a poly couple. Even though the boys still fight for y/n's praise, it's peaceful.

They've been to some dates and slept in the same bed multiple times. Mostly when Bucky can't sleep after nightmares.

Steve planned a week-long break for the three of them. Sure it's just been a month of dating but it was still a long and rough year. They've had multiple hydra missions that failed and it was starting to get to Steve's head. Y/n suggested a vacation but he didn't think Steve would agree.

So now they're in a private jet (that Tony lent) on their way to New Zealand. Why New Zealand? Because y/n and Steve want to surprise Bucky with a visit to Hobbiton in Waikato.

Bucky is sound asleep in his seat. There's 40s music playing in the background. Steve is teaching y/n how to play chess cause why not? They're bored anyway and might as well do something with it.

Why is there a chessboard in the jet? They don't know, but they found it lying about.

They're halfway to London. Y/n still doesn't comprehend chess and Bucky is still asleep. Steve starts to get bored again. He watches as y/n stares at the chessboard. Steve knows that the other man isn't actually thinking and is probably just zoned out.

And he'll stay like that until Steve snaps him out of it. Which he doesn't do. The blond man leans back in his seat and looks at his two lovers. One was asleep, and one zoned out. How fun.

Suddenly Steve gets an idea. He quietly and slowly makes his way to sit next to Y/n without snapping him out of his zoned-out trans. He slowly leans in and kisses y/n neck. The said man jumps with surprise and looks at Steve who only smiles in return.

Y/n relaxes again and leans back in his seat. Steve though, he's not done. He leans in again and kisses the smaller man's neck. Y/n groans and leans his head back to have Steve mote access.

Bucky continues to sleep. The 40s music calmed his mind and distracted it from his lovers.

Steve's hand starts to get adventurous. It runs down y/n's chest and towards his belt. Y/n gives a soft chuckle. Since Steve gave him the first blowjob in Romania he's been more bold and cocky with his moves. He also doesn't beat around the bush and goes right for what he wants.

He's quick with the belt. Then the button and zip. His hand is in Y/n's underwear within seconds, and he wraps his arms around the heavy prize. Y/n moans and thrusts his hips up. The blond man smirks and marks the smaller man's neck.

Steve pulls y/n's dick out and teases it with his fingertips. Y/n moans. "Don't tease me, Steve." He grunts and gets comfortable. The blond man chuckles and leans down to take y/n into his mouth. Said the man, gasping, and grabbed Steve's hair. He wants to stay quiet so Bucky can get his sleep.

Steve doesn't wait and starts bobbing his head. His eyes close as he enjoys the feeling of y/n's weight on his tongue. He has to be honest. He has started to get addicted to the weight. And the taste. Especially y/n's.

Y/n covers his hand to muffle his moans. Steve hollows his cheeks and takes it all in. He repeats that action multiple times until he's forced to swallow every drop of y/n's cum. In return, y/n caresses his hair and praises Steve for doing so well.

After a few more hours they land and head for their hotel.

Even though Bucky slept in the jet he joins the boys in the bed. Steve and y/n are passed out almost instantly when their heads hit the pillows. Bucky is left alone but he doesn't mind he'll just read something.

He brought some books with him for him and Steve. But Natasha gifted him one so he decided to read that one now. Halfway through the book he realised it's a romance book. And yes you guessed it. He realised because currently he's reading smut. Isn't he relatable.

But the problem is. He got hard. And he's filled with lust.

He looks at the two men sleeping like they're dead. A little touch won't hurt. Right?

Bucky sets to book aside and strips himself. The moment his boxers hit the floor he reaches for his bag and takes out lube. He lubes up his metal fingers and starts to stretch himself. The moment he starts to moan he uses his flesh hand to muffle them.

The cold metal works wonders inside him. Especially when he finds that bundle of muscle that makes him whimper loudly. Steve is the first one to wake up. He rubs his eyes and looks around. He sees y/n still asleep at one side of the bed. And Bucky fucking himself with his fingers on the other.

The blond man freezes as he tries to figure out if it's his imagination or not. Bucky looks at him with a pout. "I'm so sorry. M'sorry I woke you up..." The metal armed man whispered with a whine.

Steve snaps out of it and gets on top of Bucky. "It's alright buck." He murmured and leaned down to kiss Bucky to muffle his moans. With one hand he pulls himself out of his pants and presses against Bucky.

The ex assassin uses his flesh arm to hold onto Cap's hair. They grind each other's cocks together as Steve replaces Bucky's fingers with his. Bucky then uses his metal fingers to finger Steve. Said man gasps in surprise as a cold metal digit enters him. But he doesn't protest.

They finger one another and grind each other's cocks together. They're so lost in pleasure and the moment that they don't notice how loud they are.

They also don't notice that y/n is laying on his side, stroking his cock as he watches them.

"Steve I need more." Bucky whines. The problem is Steve isn't a top. And he knows Bucky wants to be stuffed. "Make some room and I'll give you more." Both super soldiers jump in surprise when they hear the low rumbling voice from beside them.

They look at y/n with surprise to see him awake. They suddenly get filled with shame. Both of them seem to share brain cells as they react at the same time. Both of the pout and look down. "We're sorry we woke you up..."

"it's alright boys. It's not a bad sight to wake up to." Y/n hummed and kissed Steve's shoulder. "Now move, I have someone to take care of." Y/n ordered and Steve pouted but still moved aside. Y/n's takes his spot over Bucky and grabs the lube. "No need to prep you anymore eh?" Y/n teased.

Bucky only spread his legs further. He whines with impatience. "Alright alright. Calm down pup." Y/n chuckles and lines up. They both moan when y/n pushes in. The metal armed man bites his lip and pushes down to take it deeper.

"So impatient." Y/n teased. He started to slowly move in and out to let Bucky adjust. Steve, on the other hand, kissed Bucky's body, wanting to be a part of this, too. Y/n hums and picks up his pace.

Bucky whines and grips into anything he can. The sheets. Steve's hair. Y/n's arm. Anything.

Y/n runs one hand down Steve's back until he reaches his ass. Steve moans and pushes back against the younger man's hand. Y/n pushes two fingers in and fingers Steve at the same pace he's thrusting into Bucky.

They're both whining and whimpering. Steve has enough control to move and straddle Bucky's hips so he's open for y/n and can kiss Bucky at the same time. Their hands are all over each other while y/n leans back and admires the view.

His fingers buried in Steve, his cock buried in Bucky, them making out like their lives dependent on it, and their hands touching every inch of skin they can reach. Y/n's favorite part, though, is the way they're whining like needy dogs.

"You two look so good like this." Y/n murmurs and kisses Steve's back. The super soldiers whine. Y/n uses his thumb to part Steve's cheeks to look at his puffy hole. "Your ass looks hungry." He teased.

"Maybe Bucky could feed it?" Y/n hummed and grabbed Bucky's dick and tapped Steve's hole with the tip. Both of the super soldiers gasp. Steve pushes back wanting to be filled with anything he can get.

Buy y/n stops him. "Ah ah ah. Ask Bucky first." Steve whines but looks at Bucky with a pout. "Please, please, please, Bucky, please, can I ride you?" He begged with a whine. Bucky shivers and nods eagerly.

Y/n helps Bucky sink and holds him against his chest. "Look at you two. So good for me." Y/n praised. Steve started to bounce without hesitation. The super soldiers have never been so loud before.

Both of them are whining and whimpering. Bucky especially. But can you blame that man? He's being fucked and ridden at the same time. Of course he's overwhelmed. Poor thing.

Y/n speeds up. So does Steve. And Bucky crumbles. It's all too much that he can't hold back and spills into Steve. Steve whines and leans back against y/n. The blond man gives a few more rolls with his hips and spills over his belly.

Y/n is the last one to cum. He's too focused on the way the two spent men look to notice his hips stuttering. That's until his climax shoots through his body and he fills Bucky up. Steve collapses on top of Bucky and y/n rolls to the side. All three of them pant and catch their breaths.

They don't bother with cleaning up because they can barely move. So they just all snuggled together and went to sleep.

Bonus:

Bucky's eyes are tied while Steve and y/n hold his hands. "Guys where are we seriously. I'm starting to grow a panic attack from this blindfold." They all knew Bucky couldn't keep something on his face for too long because it reminded him of hydra.

"It's alright Bucky just two more minutes okay?" Y/n comforted him and rested a hand on his lower back. Bucky nods and keeps his focus on his breathing.

Eventually they stop. "Are we there?" Bucky asks hoping he can take off the blindfold. But Steve does it for him. He gently unties the knot.

It takes some time for Bucky to adjust to the sunlight, but the moment his eyes focus on what's in front of him, he jumps at y/n and hugs him tightly. Steve and y/n laugh, and y/n kisses the ex-assassin. "Surprise" he joked.

Bucky then thanked Steve the same way before he pulled them towards the hobbit hole so he could look around and live through what his favourite book wrote about. He was like a child in Disneyland that day.

And y/n and Steve knew they'd do anything to see that smile again.

Episode 93: How nonbinary and binary people talk - Interview with Jacq Jones

There are many ways that people perform gender, from clothing and hairstyle to how we talk or carry ourselves. When doing linguistic analysis of one aspect, such as someone's voice, it's useful to also consider the fuller picture such as what they're wearing and who they're talking with.

In this episode, your host Gretchen McCulloch gets enthusiastic about how nonbinary people talk with Jacq Jones, who's a lecturer at Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa / Massey University in Auckland, New Zealand. We talk about their research on how nonbinary and binary people make choices about how to perform gender using their voices and other variables like clothing, and later collaborating with one of their research participants to reflect on how it feels to have your personal voice and gender expression plotted on a chart. We also talk about linguistic geography, Canadian and New Zealand Englishes, and the secret plurality of R sounds in English and how you can figure out which one you have by poking yourself (gently!) with a toothpick.

Click here for a link to this episode in your podcast player of choice or read the transcript here.

Announcements:

In this month’s bonus episode we get enthusiastic about three of our favourite kinds of linguistic mixups: spoonerisms, mondegreens, and eggcorns! We talk about William Spooner, the Oxford prof from the 1800s that many spoonerisms are (falsely) attributed to, Lauren's very Australian 90s picture book of spoonerisms, the Scottish song "The Bonny Earl of Moray" which gave rise to the term mondegreen, why there are so many more mondegreens in older pop songs and folk songs than there are now, and how eggcorn is a double eggcorn (a mis-parsing of acorn, which itself is an eggcorn of oak-corn for akern).

BY NOMI KALTMANN

Josh Moshe, the 33-year-old grandson of Holocaust survivors, was born in South Africa, grew up in New Zealand, and moved to Australia in 2010. He is currently an acclaimed Jewish saxophonist living in Melbourne. Alongside his wife, Maggie, he operated a well-known gift shop in Thornbury, a trendy enclave in the city’s northern suburbs.

“For most of the time I’ve lived here, I’ve felt like [Australia] is peaceful, quiet, and relaxed,” he said. “As for being a Jew, its fine. No one cares if you’re Jewish or not.”

However, all of this rapidly changed for Moshe after Oct. 7, after he was added to the WhatsApp group that was doxed. The backlash against him and his family was swift. “We were sworn at, the shop was graffitied with ‘Glory to Hamas,’ and we were told to ‘F off—we don’t want Zionists in Thornbury,’” he said.

Thornbury doesn’t have a large population of observant Jews, so Moshe, bewildered by the hostility directed at him and his family, believes that his family was unwittingly thrust onto the front lines of the conflict. “We were the only more or less observant Jews in the northern suburbs with a public profile,” he said. “Those factors meant we were heavily exposed and vulnerable to this sort of attack. It’s a very anti-Zionist area. I always knew that, and I always felt that. I was more or less happy living there for a while. But I also think that’s why we were the most exposed.”

As the doxing campaign against him gained traction, Moshe found out that the worst was yet to come.

“People were attacking my [online] music profile. Then attacking my business and then Maggie’s personal profile, even though she wasn’t in the [WhatsApp] group,” he said. As part of this harassment, their 5-year-old son received death threats. “Then people started tagging the band I was in [on social media]. Instead of coming to speak to me, [the band] publicly fired me via an Instagram post.” Moshe is now suing his former bandmates for defamation related to that post.

After months of sustained abuse, Moshe and his wife decided to close their shop and move it to a suburb close to Melbourne’s Jewish heartland.

“A few of our suppliers have been supportive, but, yeah, the vast majority of our customers, and other shops in the strip [in Thornbury] were very quiet and some of them even joined in on the pile-on,” Moshe said. “It was shocking to see how quickly; … seven years of being neighbors and being business associates counts for nothing.”

The antisemitism faced by the family has garnered significant attention in Australia, featuring prominently in the media. It was even highlighted in a documentary aired on Australian television, hosted by former Australian Treasurer Josh Frydenberg, who is one of the country’s highest-profile Jewish figures. The documentary explored the growing issue of antisemitism in Australia.

“I know [participating in the documentary] it has every chance of further damaging my music career, but on the other side, I have to speak about what’s going on,” said Moshe. “We wouldn’t tolerate this with any other ethnicity. In honoring the memory of my grandparents and their families, I am compelled to speak about this rising hatred despite the further backlash I will receive.”

Louis Tomlinson has dropped a surprise album ‘Live’ – featuring songs that he recorded at 15 shows across 15 different cities.

Announced and shared yesterday (April 25), the album comes after the singer and former One Direction member embarked on two world tours over the past three years – playing just shy of 200 shows globally.

Now, a variety of performances from both tours – the ‘Louis Tomlinson World Tour’ and the ‘Faith in the Future World Tour’ – have been compiled into a new live album, which is available now.

Fifteen songs are included in the tracklist, and each was recorded in a different city, at a different show from across the three-year run. The album comes in both digital and physical formats, and features his singles including ‘Bigger Than Me’, ‘We Made It, ‘Walls’ and ‘Out Of My System’, alongside fan favourite album tracks, all released live for the very first time.

“I’ve been lucky enough to spend the last 3 years touring the world twice over. The feeling I get sharing those live moments will be with me forever,” Tomlinson said in a statement. “To be able to record these songs from all over the world and put them out as an album like this feels so special, and a real tribute to the fans who make each and every show feel unique and incredible. Thank you! Enjoy!”

There are four exclusive tracks split between the physical editions of ‘Live’, including a special version of the One Direction classic ‘Where Do Broken Hearts Go’ – which is available only on the double CD.

Accompanying video clips of compiled tour footage will be shared on Louis’s social channels to support the release, showcasing a glimpse into his past three years on the road and 170 performances.

The ‘Live’ tracklist is:

‘The Greatest’ (Live From London, 17 November 2023) ‘Face The Music’ (Live From Nashville, 18 July 2023) ‘Bigger Than Me’ (Live From Vancouver, 26 June 2023) ‘Holding On To Heartache’ (Live From Barcelona, 6 October 2023) ‘We Made It’ (Live From Manila, 16 July 2022) ‘Chicago’ (Live From Chicago, 15 June 2023) ‘Fearless’ (Live From Rio, 27 May 2022) ‘Common People’ (Live From Sheffield, 10 November 2023) ‘All This Time / She Is Beauty We Are World Class’ (Live From Munich, 22 October 2023) ‘Walls’ (Live From Buenos Aires, 21 May 2022) ‘Written All Over Your Face’ (Live From Budapest, 15 September 2023) ‘Out Of My System’ (Live From Brisbane, 30 January 2024) ‘Saturdays’ (Live From Paris, 14 October 2023) ‘Silver Tongues’ (Live From Krakow, 10 September 2023)

At time of writing, Tomlinson has shared two huge solo albums since departing from One Direction. His debut album arrived in the firm of 2020’s ‘Walls’, which has sold over 1.5 million copies, and the follow-up was called ‘Faith In The Future’. The latter went to Number One in the UK, Spain and Belgium, and Top 5 in the USA, Australia, New Zealand and across Europe.

Since May last year, Tomlinson has been on his ‘Faith In The Future World Tour’, which hits South America next month for its final leg. From there, the vocalist has a number of festival appearances lined up for the summer. Find remaining tickets to his shows here.

In other Louis Tomlinson news, earlier this week the singer, alongside Courteeners and English Teacher, were among the acts to be honoured at the first-ever Northern Music Awards.

The inaugural ceremony was hosted by the UK’s largest music therapy charity, Nordoff And Robbins and took place at the Albert Hall in Manchester; celebrating northern artists, festivals, venues and industry figures. The event saw Tomlinson named as Artist Of The Year.

The Cardigans - Lovefool 1996

"Lovefool" is a song written by Peter Svensson and Nina Persson for Swedish rockband the Cardigans' third studio album, First Band on the Moon. It was released as the album's lead single on 10 August 1996 in Japan. A few months after its release, the track was included in the Baz Luhrmann film Romeo + Juliet, helping the song gain international recognition.

"Lovefool" was initially a hit in several European countries, reaching number 15 on the Swedish Singles Chart and peaking at number 21 on the UK Singles Chart during its first release in 1996. Following its appearance in Romeo + Juliet, the song gained international attention, eventually reaching a new peak of number 2 on the UK Singles Chart following a re-release in April 1997. It then achieved international success, becoming a number 1 hit in New Zealand and peaking just outside the top 10 in Australia at number 11. "Lovefool" became a crossover hit in the US after peaking at number 9 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart, reaching number 2 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart. It reached number 1 on the Top 40 Mainstream chart and number 2 on the Adult Top 40.

Three music videos were shot for the song. The third and last music video was created to promote Romeo + Juliet.

"Lovefool" received a total of 84,7% yes votes!

Small world [Clément Novalak]

Summary: Picking up your cousin from the club ends a little different then you expected… It’s a small world.

Wordcount: 2.9k

Warnings: They’re in the club, mentions of a toxic relationship and cheating (not y/n and clem), sexual implications

It has taken me too long to write a Clem fic, I’m glad it’s finally here!! Especially considering my username is literally clemswinecorner😐😐 Added in a waaaay more dramatic storyline then necessary cause I didn’t know how to end it whoops, but enjoy! For the Clem girlies (but especially Chloe and Yana)🫶🏼🫶🏼

Bit shit formatting because this is posted from my phone, will be fixed asap!

Main Masterlist

“Paris, I’m seeing your brothers Monday, I really don’t think I need to see them right now,” Paris, although you can’t see, rolls her eyes as she looks back at you. “They’re right over there, c’mon!” She yells, trying to be heard over the music. Before you know it you’re standing in front of a table at the back of a club. “Y/N, hey, what are you doing here?!” Despite not wanting to be there, you still smile at your cousin who pulls you into a hug. “I was supposed to pick up Paris and she dragged me inside. It’s good to see you though, it’s been too long,” Marcus laughs at his sisters ways as you briefly hug your oldest cousin, James, and his girlfriend. You saw the both of them just the other day, since you live on the same of London, but you hadn’t seen Marcus since you were both in New Zealand to celebrate New Year’s a few months ago. “Oh, that’s Juan, Franky and Emmy by the way, and you’ve met James and Alice. Do you want a drink? Our other friend Clem is getting some already, I can text him,” You smile as you look at Paris next to you, talking animatedly to her older brother. “No, thanks, I’m taking Paris home. C’mon, let’s get you home,” Paris pouts as you put your arm around here. “Noooo but I want to stayyyyy,” you sigh as you look at her. “You called me to pick you up because you wanted to leave, Pari, let’s go now. I made your bed with the Mickey bedsheets you love,” her eyes light up at the mention of her favourite bedsheets, but quickly get distracted again as someone hands her a drink that looks like coke (but most likely holds alcohol). Marcus sends you a sympathetic smile, as you sigh. “Clem’s getting more drinks, you could follow him to the bar, it’s not too busy there if you walk past the bathrooms there and keep right. Smiley guy, dark hair, slight beard, wearing glasses -fake ones- and i think a striped button up. Just tell him to put it with mine and Paris’ drinks when he sends me a payment request, I’ll try and get Paris ready to leave,” you give him a thankful smile as you start to make your way back through the crowd.

At the bar you don’t see anyone looking like the description Marcus gave you. There was a guy in a white button up -which looked extremely good on him- but it wasn’t striped nor was he wearing glasses. You take a seat, figuring the friend was probably at the bathroom. You glance at the handsome guy, currently chatting away with the bartender until he walks to the other side of the bar to prepare a few drinks. The handsome man moves closer to you, though he still keeps a respectable distance. “You havin’ fun here? Or just want to get steamed?” He speaks up, revealing a somewhat British accent. You chuckle at his choice of words- similar to your cousin’s. “Oh i’m just, you know, in the club, at the bar,” he raises his eyebrows, “ah, yes, as one is. Not a club person then?” He slowly moves closer, and though you weren’t in the mood to talk, you still found herself in a conversation with him.

“Hey, do you want to get back there, dance around?” You’ve naturally moved closer to each other, your arms touching as he swirls his drink- whatever cocktail. You bite your lip- you really weren’t the most social person (it was honestly a surprise you even considered dancing with him), looking down into your glass, previously filled with a coke, in consideration. “I was supposed to get these and some more to my friends, we can walk by them, sit there if you’d prefer?” He adds on, noticing how you weren’t very enthusiastic. “I think you should go back to your friends, enjoy your time with them together. I’ve probably held you back,” you smile lightly, as you sit up straighter, suddenly hyper aware of how close you are. “No, no, I want to spend time with you. I’ve gone out with them dozens of times. Unless you don’t want to be there with me and get back to your cousin, that’s also completely fine, sorry if you felt like you needed to stay in this conversation,” you quickly shake your head, putting your hand on top of his arm. “No, I like this. It doesn’t really happen that I actually like spending time with a stranger like this, usually I’d be trying to get home and watch a movie,” he chuckles as you subconsciously move your face closer to his. “I’m glad you like my company, then,” he smiles as his eyes flickers down to your lips. “I don’t, Clément, I just did it for the french and the drinks, obviously,” you joke and he laughs, his head falling forward. He looks up with a genuine smile, leaning forward and soon enough your lips touch. You weren’t sure who started the kiss, but it was better than most kisses you had (the best one so far, you’d even say). He knew just what the right moves and pace were and you were on the same wavelength the entire kiss, not wanting to pull back. Oh well, his friends were already waiting, what would those extra minutes be?

“Hey, I really like this, I do, but I would also love to dance with you. Plus, my friends are probably wondering where I wandered off too,” He whispers with your faces still only inches away from eachother- as far as whispering goes in a club. “They’re not used to you running off with random girls you’ve pulled your charm on?” He chuckles and looks down, contemplating his response. “Just the pretty ones. Nah, not really, my ex girlfriend and I broke up about 9 months ago, she did quite a number on me if i’m honest. I’ve been getting time to myself and friends even here, I have barely been with anyone, I only just got somewhat back to, you know, messing around last month. My friends don’t really know though, if I told them I was ready for something they’d push me towards anyone attractive in a 10km radius,” you laugh at the last comment, relating to the last part a bit too much- your friends also tried to get you with whoever was even remotely attractive. “So, what are you ready for, right now? Just so we’re both clear on that, because anything goes for me,” he shrugs in response. “I’m not really sure. I just wanted to keep things unattached, casual at best but I kind of really like you,” You smile his answer. “We can just dance around, see what happens tonight, maybe explore more of this if we feel like it tomorrow,” He nods, before he tenderly kisses you again with a smile.

“It’s not too much people, and you can keep your distance. It’s mostly my friends, their siblings, girlfriends. You don’t have to be introduced to them if you don’t want to, I can just drop the drinks off and we can dance. If the dance floor gets too crowded just say the word and we can get to some other place,” He whispers against your ear, making you blush “Actually, I kind of have to go to the bathroom. You get those to your friends, I’ll meet you on the dance floor?” Clem shakes his head, “meet me between the men’s and women’s. Don’t want to lose you,” you nod as you go separate ways. The music playing was nice, you realised as you went onto the dance floor, Clem’s hand in yours. You danced around for a short while, though it only took about half an hour before you both gave up trying to stay civil, deciding to go to Clem’s apartment. You had quickly texted Paris as you walked your way out, the people you came for soon forgotten.

It wasn’t until about an hour and half later, when you were sitting in his bed leaning against his headboard, drinking a glass of wine that Clem got a call. You’d settled under the sheets, Clem only wearing his underwear and you wearing your panties and his shirt. He wasn’t wearing a shirt, which you didn’t mind (you found out he looked very good without a shirt). “Ah shit, I have to take this, I didn’t tell anyone I left and it’s my mate,” you quickly motioned for him to go ahead, and he put the phone to his ear.

“Hey, where are you?” Clem hears his best friend ask. “Sorry, I left already, forgot to tell you. I’m at home now,” He simply answers, playing with your hand as you sip your wine. “Ah, okay. D’you know if my cousin went home too?” You see a surprised look on Clem’s face, “Your cousin?” He looks at you surprised as Marcus answers. “Yeah, Y/N. She was supposed to go to you at the bar.” He raises his eyebrows at you, saying “Oh, yeah, yeah, Y/N, I saw her get into her car safely, don’t worry.” You nod as you realise he was, in fact, Marcus friend you’d been looking for, quickly showing him your texts to Paris. “She texted Paris as well, I thought you knew she left,” He says casually, before they finish off the call and say goodbye, making plans for the next time they’d meet. “Alright, I’ll see you Friday. Bye Marcus, love you too mate,” You raise your eyebrows as he ends the call. “You’re Marcus’ friend?!” You simply ask, a hint of surprise in your tone. “Small world. Though you do not sound as shocked as you should be. I didn’t even know Marcus’ cousin was with us tonight?” You chuckle at his surprise. “I was picking up Paris and then she didn’t want to leave so Marcus sent me to you- for the record, to his friend, I did not know you were his friend because Marcus did not give an accurate description,” Clem laughs, “that doesn’t surprise me in the slightest,” he agrees.

Clem breaks the comfortable silence that fell first. “Are you- Do you want Marcus to know about, eh,” he carefully considers his words, “are we going to tell him this happened? Happens, or whatever’s next,” You study him as he asks the question, but nothing gives away how he feels. “I mean… Do you want him to know? I like you, and I would love to see where this goes, like, romantically or even physically, if we realize that works better. It depends on what you want from me,” Clem nods, grabbing your hand in his (though they were already practically on top of each other). “Yeah, me too. I’d like to hang out with you, ‘date’ or whatever it’d be called. Just… Do I get to kiss you still,” you jokingly roll your eyes with a smile as he pulls you towards you. “I guess you do, Mr Novalak,” he raises his eyebrows, “we’re on last name basis now? Did you stalk my instagram or what?” You chuckle in response. “I pay attention to my cousin’s life and stories sometimes,” you smile, which makes him laugh. “Hey, but if you don’t really want to tell your friends you’re dating, that’s okay. I don’t mind keeping it just us,” He smiles before he leans down to kiss you. “Thank you. It’s not that I don’t want to show you to them, you know that though, right? Just want to go at my own pace,” you nod, “I know.” You softly kiss him before he pulls back to cuddle. “So, now that neither of us have to inform people of our whereabouts, how about you take a shower, order food, watch a movie?” You smile, you were always in the mood for a late night snack. “If you can help me with the shower it sounds like a plan.” You smirk as you get out of the bed. “Alright, alright. Can you grab some towels from that closet? I’ll get the shower ready,” you nod as you do as you’re told, putting them in the bathroom when you’re done. Clem’s already in the shower as you take off your clothes and get in. “What’s taken you so long?” You jokingly roll your eyes before kissing him.

Around 11 AM you and Clem freeze in your kiss as the two of you hear rushed knocks on coming from his front door. “I’ll check that out,” Clem says and you nod as he gets out of bed, quickly putting on a shirt. Luckily you were both still wearing pants and your shirt was still on, if whoever’s at the door wants to walk into the bedroom. “Hi, mate, I’m kind of bu-“ Clem stop his sentence halfway as Marcus walks into the living room distressed. “Dude, are you okay? What’s up, did something happen?” Clem asks as he sits him down on the couch. You move out of the bed as well, recognizing your cousin’s voice. “No. Yes. I. I’m fine I just need to talk to someone. Last night, eh, Paris, I, shit, Clem,” You stand in the doorway of Clem’s bedroom, seeing Clem crouched in front of Marcus. You make eye contact with Clem, and wether you should keep listening or not. You decide yes, since you’d hear about it one way or another if it was about Paris. “Marcus, breathe. Is she okay?” Marcus takes hasty breaths and nods, “yes, she’s fine, uhm… Mate, I really don’t know what to do,” Clem looks at you once again, knowing you’d probably be a better help if it concerned his family. You don’t know how to go about it, but luckily Marcus turns around after he sees Clem looking behind him. He notices you and immediately turns back, and you speak up. “Sorry, do you want me to…?” Marcus doesn’t seem to register who’s standing behind him. “Oh, sorry, am I interrupting- wait,” he turns back to you and then to Clem, who gives him a tight-lipped smile. “This is a discussion for later, Marc. Do you want me to go or do you want me to hear?” Marcus stays silent for a moment still staring at you and then tells you to stay.

“When I left my apartment to work out I checked on Paris in the guest bedroom because she would stay at mine, but she was with a guy and it was not her boyfriend. I guess she went home with someone, James and Alice dropped them off before I was there so I didn’t know. I feel horrible and I don’t know if I should tell her actual boyfriend because were kind of mates but I don’t want to break her trust and she should be the one to tell him but either way it’s horrible and-“ Marcus keeps on rambling as you and Clem try to take in all the information. “Marcus, stop. Breathe. First off, I know she’s your little sister, but this is not your doing or responsibility, okay? Nothing you could’ve done,” Clem starts and Marcus nods as you bite your lip deciding wether you should say what you know. “Okay, look, I don’t know if I should say this but you don’t know the full situation, Marc. Their relationship is not as good as it seems and it’s toxic as hell. Paris never told you because she was scared, and she only told me because I found out by accident. You should talk to her, yes, but don’t force her to say or do anything, okay? Just ask her to be honest,” Marcus looks at you as everyone digests what’s just been said. “Okay. I will. Thank you for telling me, Y/N.” You smile at your cousin “of course. Think that’s what best for the both of you.” Its quiet for a few minutes before your phone rings on the table behind Clem. “It’s Paris,” He says, handing you your phone. You take the phone, standing up to go to the bedroom. “I’ll take this, be right back.”

When you come back from the call, Marcus is ready to leave. “Paris woke up a bit ago and told me what happened, I said she should talk to you. Best you don’t mention you were here, though, I think,” Marcus nods, looking more composed then when he arrived. “I won’t. By the way, we also should discuss why you are here. I thought you went home last night?” Clem pushes Marcus to the door, “don’t you have somewhere to be?” making you chuckle. “Like I said, that’s a topic for another time,” you say before hugging him goodbye telling him to keep you updated. He hugs you and Clem, “Yeah, and that time is tonight. We’re having dinner, I’ll text the details. See you tonight, bye!” He leaves no room to argue as he walks out of the door, leaving you and clem stunned. You look at each other as he closes the door. “Well. I guess we have a date tonight?”
