“SURPRISE!”

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY CONNIE!”

you moved to the side once you were inside, coming in behind the man of the hour himself. sasha had been running rampant to throw him an amazing surprise party. and you were in on it, tasked with bringing connie home from work and acting as if you know nothing about what the current day was.

which proved to be hard the second connie got into your car after putting his bag in the back seat. “ahh shit! they got mi cielita to take me out. where we going, mami?” connie was grinning ear to ear as he looked at you, dimples popping below red freckled cheeks.

he was so cute, and you were gonna hate to do this but, “what’re you on about, springer?” you scrunched your face up in confusion at him. you then quickly looked ahead to pull out the parking lot. if you looked at him for too long you were sure you’d crack.

connie rolled his eyes, not buying your ignorance. “oh stop that, y’know what i’m talking bout.” he said as he buckled himself in and then reclined the passenger seat.

with the strongest will you could muster, you kept up the confusion, looking back at him and with a quirked brow, “you got a game or sum?” you asked, knowing damn well he had nothing going on today. his birthday happened to land on the off day for ball practice AND track practice, not to mention he didn’t have class either.

now, when sasha told you to act like you forgot that his birthday was today, she failed to mention to you that it was something connie’s mother had done plenty of times in his life…not as a joke, though.

connie really cared about four women in his life: you, sasha, his little sister, and his mom. so you forgetting his day took a pin to his bubble and popped the fuck out of it. he didn’t dwell on the subject anymore, changing to now talk about your days. however, connie was feeling down on the inside. all his friends had wished him a happy birthday either via call, text, or social media post. have you not been on your phone today?

when you pulled up to his and sasha’s shared apartment, you flashed him a smile but it was not reciprocated. connie was staring ahead, zoned out in thought. so much so he doesn’t feel you turn the car off or hear you call his name.

“con” you pushed his shoulder slightly, getting him to snap out of his own head.

“hm?”

“we’re at your place. is it cool if i come up to use the bathroom?” you usually wouldn’t say anything and invite yourself into his apartment. days when you’d get him we’re days you set aside to hang with him. but today seems to be different. connie wondered if you had made plans that made you forget about his birthday.

“uh yeah, sure.” he said lowly. he reached back to grab his backpack and with that, got out the car. you could see the defeat in his walk towards the doors. he was mumbling to himself, more times trying to dissect what the hell was going on with you. because you wouldn’t just forget, right?

you got out the car and sped walk to catch up, sending sasha a quick text to let her know yall were back. you also cussed her for telling you to do this to connie, knowing how pouty he gets.

the walk to the elevator was quite, along with you two getting off at his floor and going to his apartment. however, before connie turned the key he put into the lock, he turned to you. his eyes were glossed over and cheeks dusted with a crimson red. he was chewing on his bottom lip, hazel eyes filled with worry. “did i do something, mami? you mad at me?”

and oh my god you wanted to break the act right there…but you were RIGHT THERE.

you blinked, “what do you mean, con? why would i be?” you wanted him to just open the door. once he opened the door you could drop the act, you could give him all the birthday love you were holding in since midnight.

connie let out a sigh and turned back around, giving up on the matter and turning the lock to go in. the day was no longer felt good. what good was a birthday if the one person he wanted to spend it with forgot about it?

when the door opened, connie walked inside and turned on the light and was immediately met with screams, cheers, and camera lights in his face.

which brings us here, to where he freezes and looks around at his friends from his basketball team, work, childhood, and sasha standing in the middle with a cake.

connie spent a good couple seconds taking everything in, he was slightly embarrassed to say once he believed you had forgotten he immediately forgot the day, choosing to just wallow in his room as he smoked a spliff.

you took a step forward, hands behind your back and coming up on his right. “happy birthday, connie.” you bumped him with your hip, once again snapping him out of his own head and bringing him back to the present.

the big, toothy smile he had in your car came back, now decorated with deep dimples and eyes watery with tears of appreciation.

just as he was about to say something to you, jean pulled him away, leaving you two with an unfinished conversation.

•　　.°•

you were talking to sasha in the kitchen as connie was socializing with all his guests. he hadn’t had the chance to come back to you just yet, but you weren’t worried. you didn’t plan on going anywhere.

“i told you! he’s so brain dead when it comes to you that he’ll completely forget everything. did you see how lost he looked when he saw us?” sasha was so happy that her plan had turned out well. she knew her best friend well enough to know it wasn’t going to take a lot to get his mind off his literal day of birth. not when you were the one thing that stayed on his mind and could pull his attention from anything.

you playfully rolled your eyes, “i still hated seeing how sad he looked. why didn’t you tell me i was damn near triggering him?!” you were nursing your second cup of a mimosa, slightly tipsy.

sasha giggled. she, on the other hand, had been four shots in from when you guys came in. “i forgot. but it’s all good now. oop—here he comes.” before you knew it, sasha had stepped away and now connie was in your space.

his eyes were low and bloodshot, having just come back from a hotbox with his guys in the car. “mami, you really are sum special.” he grabbed your hand, lacing your fingers together and pulling you to be flush against him.

you smiled, “sasha made me, pa. you know i would never forget your day.” you traced his lips with your finger, your acrylic nail going along his prominent cupids bow. connie held your hand still and kissed your finger, then moved your hand so it was at the back of his head. it brought you closer into his space, his cologne taking over your senses. he loweeeed his head to touch yours, looking in your eyes.

“¿dónde está mi regalo, princesa? his hands trailed up from your waist to your back, to your elbow and then shoulder. he tucked one of your locs behind your ear, staring at you as if you held both the moon and the stars. “i been dying to unwrap it” his eyes were scanning all over your face, taunting you with his hidden meaning.

“quiero mi pastel, ma. soy hambriento.” he undid the button with ease, bringing you to gasp and instinctively grip the small curls on the back of his neck.

“later.” you said softly, giving him a sweet smile to match. but connie smirked with wickedness, red eyes gleaming of mischief. his hand trailed back down to the waistband of your baggy pants.

“c-con.” you could feel his long and slender fingers pad over your core. he pressed his index and his middle against your clit, sending a jolt up your spine. “this party’s for you.” you bit your lip when you felt him move them in a circular motion, the wetness of your pussy dampening your panties.

“it’s my birthday, right? i can do whatever i want, right?” you were gonna answer, but then he pushed your panties to the side. he had rubbed your lips to collect your slick on his fingers, and slowly began to push them inside of you. your mouth opened, but no words came out.

“oh princesa, did you forget how to talk? just like how you forgot papi’s birthday?” he tsked, shaking his head, “made me so sad. y’know” the force of his thrusts picked up, knocking you back to grip the edge of the counter behind up. “a mean joke you guys pulled on me.”

“pa…i-i can’t be quiet” you panicked, looking at connie with worrisome eyes. he knew you were a screamer, fuck it was what he loved about you. pleasure would overwhelm you quick and all your composure would go flying out the window. you got animalistic when you’d approach your peak, and connie never missed the chance to see it. but today, you were doing your best to show restraint the clench of your jaw let him know you really wanted to get it out but were resisting.

connie took his other hand to rub a thumb on your clit, turning his ears off to anything that wasn’t your faulty breaths or straggled moans. “hm…guess i forgot.”

Happy Fandom Friday!

I’m submitting @sleepingsun501's drawing of Fox, Wolffe, Cody, and Nova. Erin did an AMAZING job capturing the brotherly camaraderie between these four. The way they’re smiling and laughing and just relaxed around one another is exactly how I imagined them in my head and I love seeing these four come to life! The details to their sweaters, scars, and hair are PERFECT. But I especially have to gush about Wolffe’s tattoos because Erin spent so much time researching, determining the meaning behind each, and then designing each part with such care for Wolffe’s past and personality. I’m simply in awe of this. 

Erin's work is PHENOMENAL, and this piece is no exception. I love the different expressions and how each depiction perfectly captures their character. Every detail is EXACTLY as it should be, and I love this so much! Thanks so much for sending it in!

Participate in Fandom Friday to show your favorite creators from this week some love! :)

Fic tropes: hanahaki

F: this trope is a backclick/filter out for me, it honestly squicks me for personal reasons! It exists in the specific realm of topics where I would (and have-- tho unpublished) write it, because I AM interested in exploring the trope, but I'm not interested in reading anyone else's take on it unless it is a strong rec from a personal friend who like, vetted the fic first and could tell me ahead of time how the trope was handled and if any specificly squicky things occur /shrug

send me fic tropes!

Do you think laios would be picky with his music taste or do you think he would be open to anything

I saw one person saying he would listen to game ost and stuff and that made me giggle

video game ost fan Laios is very true and real to me. he listens to a lot of video game music but never played most of the games.

I honestly see him as like…a progressive metal band (like Dragonforce and Lazer Wulf) but he 100% adopts the music tastes of those he’s close to. He’s not picky with music at all in my eyes, he just enjoys music in general.

if you send him songs/playlists he’ll always give them a listen and they may show up on his Spotify wrapped or play in the car/in his room when you’re with him.

like did you see my tags on the TLT Lost post, pry, but also might I add (not from TLT Musical but Rob Rokicki, the same lyricist) the MonsterSongs album, specifically:

Right Through You (very max @ chloe coded, for better or for worse)

&

Hell Hath No Fury/Say Goodbye (trying her best/unhinged Rachel, my beloved, hours, and, doomed from the start (but what if she wasn’t!) Rachel hours)

arguably the other tracks, too, (pry for other characters, considering) I just haven’t listened in a hot minute and the TLT musical is one of my faves & opened a sleeper agent part of my brain for RR.

oh hell yea hell yeah i'm not the only one w combo lis/tlt musical brainrot <3 <3 <3

and in return for the 10000 points of Rachel damage from Hell Hath No Fury i shall offer the most recent addition to my pile of mentally damaging Rachel tunes; 9 Lives by Emei

fukamidori - peanuts on the run (1999)

personal rating: ☆8.7/10☆

this album is super awesome. it sucks that this band only put out two albums (that i know of at least), because this album is full of life and feeling and great music. it's got such cool instrumentals, and it has such a mellow feel to it. the use of acoustic guitar, synths, and bongos(!) all just add an eclectic feeling to the album in the best way possible. another thing that i really really love about this album is the vocals. they're soft and sweet and relaxed and i just feel like they fit in perfectly with the feeling of the tracks. the way that fukamidori combined twee pop and shibuya kei with bossa nova is just so cool and it provides such a unique sound to the whole album. my favorite songs off of this album are 'lemon wo okane ni kaeru hoho', 'sugita hanashi' and 'gakkari sa senaide' (probably my favorite song on the album).

would i recommend it?: definitely!
