The Night Agent

Season 1, “Fathers”

Director: Millicent Shelton

DoP: Michael Wale

The Night Agent Premiere - March 20, 2023.

The Night Agent (prod. Shawn Ryan).

Netflix’s action thriller series uses all the same familiar tricks of double-crosses, politcal corruption, and convoluted conspiracy plots in an entertaining package to elevate its pulp material. It is, however, very amusing how little the show cares about fidelity to the complex government structures that probably would not allow for key White House staff to be constantly scheming against the President with such little oversight.

Nonetheless, Ryan keeps the pace tight and momemtum forward to ratchet the thrills from episode-to-episode before running out of story. Still, over the course of its ten-episode season, the believability of a rogue FBI agent being able to do so much to take down part of the federal governement with so few resources strains credulity toward the latter episodes.

Omg thank you so much! This is such a high prize! I'm honoured to hear this from the master. Thank you so much! I wasn't sure if it wasn't too much exposition, but I have so many plans for these characters 🙈 I can't wait.

If it doesn't hurt

Anneliese finds Ryan sick behind the gym. Warning for emeto.

----

Ryan Adler was driving her insane and actively so.

She knew finding access to the boxing club at the campus would be hard. There were no girls, so there was no way Anneliese wouldn't feel like a disruptive element at the gym, even if she just sat there with her laptop open. She switched between reading homework texts and taking notes about their behaviour and the atmosphere, trying to seem as unobtrusive as possible. There was no way to observe the boys without them changing their behaviour because of her intrusion, so she had to take that into account. They all agreed to her presence and were informed of the research she was doing by Lucian, so at least the moral part of the deal was covered.

There were different phases to the gym, with some people on morning and evening workouts, some that just came for a bit of intense punching training or that waited their turn for a little sparring match after a thorough warm up.

She quickly learned that 3 minute long rounds of jumping combined with punches was a whole body strenuous workout that left the boys sweating and breathing hard. She didn't understand how they managed more after that.

She had days reserved for the observation, but since she didn't really know anyone else outside her friendly but distant fellow exchange student of a roommate, she spent most of her breaks and gaps between classes in the gym too. It was a nice place with a view at the well cut campus grass, it was nicely cold in the downstairs sutteren, and nicely sunny in the upstairs part with the bar with drinks and shakes and a nice set of tables. She clicked her way there in peace with good wifi, occasional coffee or sandwich. Better than at the library, where she couldn't eat or drink and had to ask for permission to go see her bag. As cool and intellectual looking as the library was, Anneliese liked to have all her stuff in reach. 

Lately she liked the gym, despite its stuffy air, smell of sweat and haggard breathing of its occupants, because she didn't feel so lonely there. Her room gave her desire privacy, but the silence and emptiness after living her last 24 years with her parents and brother, felt hollow and overwhelming. She wasn't sure she would dress or eat anything proper, if she had no one to see that day. Time run out with mindless scrolling or repeated rewatches of the same movies, when you had a sad spell and no one to check on you. 

Penn was nice. She was lovely, flexible, easy to get along with, but she spend most of her time at the atelier, studied at the library and visited her distant uncle through the weekends. Getting anything out of Penn despite her friendliness was a challenege. Anneliese's roommate never initiated any conversation, didn't share how her day was. She answered sweetly and to the point, when asked, as if afraid any word more would be one word too much. Anneliese wanted to share more. She wanted to discuss the campus life, exchange impressions about Zurich and the differences between their university town, wanted to interrogate her on her creation process of her drawings. And she had many things of her own to share, like what interesting article they discussed at class or what she was reading for an assignment or which one of the fascinating topics for a presentation to pick. That's the trouble when you love what you study - there are hardly any people who can stand your passion. After trying a few times with Penn, Anneliese felt like she was forcing her enthusiasm on her and felt like a drag herself and the effort slowly fizzled out. 

It was frustrating and sad and Anneliese felt like it was her fault. She was a tutor for the last year and a half and she held little input lectures for students that helped with academic writing - she had enough responsibility and training with other students to not fear crowds or talking publicly or leading groups. 

But she couldn't make her roommate talk.

So she went and headed to the gym this evening instead too. Penn might be home sooner today or she might not, but Anneliese wasn't going to sit there and beat herself up over not talking.

The gym was pretty deserted at half 8. Only the permanent members were around - the four Annenelise saw so many times already she was recognising them, despite her terrible memory for faces. (She wished it was some kind of explainable affliction. How can someone be so bad at recognising faces? You changed your hair or wore a hat and you could as well be a new person to her). 

There was Lucian, the most memorable. He was the unofficial captain of the club, the oldest, with the most praxis. And the most mature in a way, since he wasn't particularly friendly, but answered her questions thoroughly, with actual thinking involved. He had hard to miss white blond hair reaching to his chin and such glassy emerald green eyes, you felt like shards were prickling your eyes when looking into them.

Then there was Julian, easy going and friendly, with brown hair always in a loose ponytail. Anneliese was so glad for him having the same haircut each day. Since the fateful call in the park, he became memorable to her for a whole different reason. He felt safe and approachable and he always smiled warmly when he saw her, which was sometimes the only nice interaction her whole lonely campus day.

There was the sulky Coleson, who trained since early childhood in boxing and was meticulous and incredibly graceful, when he moved. But he always looked like something angered him deeply, whenever she saw him; though Julian insisted that was his neutral expression and not something personal against her.

And the last was Ryan. Wild blond curls and dark amber eyed Ryan, who might as well had fire in his eyes and always took up the whole room with his presence. He interacted with her, oh yes he did, in the most mean way. Openly questioning the purpose of her research methods ("You just sit around there all day"), the purpose of the study ("Explorative deductive research? So you don't even know what you want to find out? How lame!") and her study field in general ("Ethnographic what? Cultural studies? What's that even good for? Must be the most useless of all useless humanity faculties."). Yep, he was driving her insane. And not just at the gym. Whenever he saw her at uni, he would start all over with his mocking questions. She didn't even get to talk about her research field specialty - the process oriented approach to writing or that she had consultations with students about their BA and MA thesis weekly. 

She was pretty proud of her expertise, that she could help others with what she knew about writing, and she was excited about what her faculty offered her. Not memorising facts, but actual critical thinking, lots of reading and then discussing said reading. Dream come true.

Explain that to economy students. The core group at the gym had different specialisations, but it was mostly business, accounting, business law or connected to informatics. 

She was sipping her freshly brewed mint tea, trying to fit with the background as the occupants slowly left one after another. Lucian was still in the back office. Somehow the gym didn't have a coach, just him locking the place up and writing down attendance. She wondered whether he was paid for it. Maybe that could be a good thing to ask him about next time. Not sport related activity connected to the club: how were such tasks organised? By whom? If the club members themselves organised themselves and the university simply offered them space and opportunity to do so, how did the person in charge emerge? This could lead back to the group dynamics question, and how abilities are connected to respect and that lead back to treatment and unsaid hierarchies in the club...

She wrote down her notes, finally getting into a flow with her observations. The room was entirely quiet. You knew the club was empty when you could suddenly hear the clock ticking in the cafeteria, without outcries, running feat or arguing. Boys, left unchecked, were incredibly loud creatures. She really should stop thinking of them as such alien beings...

A sudden loud retch interrupted her thoughts. That sound was so unexpected and unfitting to the relaxed atmosphere of the sunset light. Maybe she just imagined it?

But then another sounded. A guttural loud throaty retch. She jumped on her chair, looking back to the direction of Lucian's office, which was alight, but he wasn't there. 

Curious thing was that the sound didn't come from the bathroom on the left. It came from somewhere outside.

Anneliese packed her things in nervous jitter and then cautiously walked out the gym and circled the small cubic building. Normally you would head to the left to the campus, but the retches came from the right, which only led to a dead end with the garden stopping with a high fence.

With her heart thumping loudly in her ears she made the last turn to gasp at the sight.

Ryan was bent in half, hands on his knees, throwing up loudly like a moose. His whole body was shaking, sweat glistening on his neck and he looked a sick green of white in the warm end of spring air.

"Uhmm...can I help you?" Was the first thing that came to mind. She didn't like him, but he looked positively distressed.

He coughed, then spit onto the ground and raised his head. "Do I fucking look like some confused tourist at info point? No-uuurp-way." His tone dripped with sarcasm, his dark amber eyes burning her alive.

"What's wrong with you? Can I get you something?"

He shook his head and an amused smile played on his lips despite the spit hanging of it. "Just go home, Anneliese. Do what any normal person would do, when they hear someone hurl."

"Did your friends leave you here?"

His brows furrowed angrily in offense. "I have pretty good friends, thanks."

"You didn't tell them, did you? Should I call Juls...?"

"No fucking way. Just stay out of it. I don't need any help from you." It would sound a lot more threatening if he didn't keep swallowing convulsively and if she didn't see his hand shake as he dried his mouth off on his sleeve. "Call 'Juls'. Now when did you two move to the nickname area? Pfff."

That was the last drop. She was so done playing it nice with this guy. "What the hell is your problem, huh?" She put her hands on her hips, shaking her professional polite attitude she wore to win people over at this new place. "All I did was freaking offer help to you. But you have to act like an idiot about it. Whenever you see me, you just make fun of me, question me or treat me like I'm useless and bothering you. What the hell did I do to you that you despite me so much, Ryan?"

He blinked at her and stared for a few seconds, dazed. "Huh. That's the first time you said my name. Only took a month."

It was her turn to blink. "What do you-"

His body chose that moment to get involved. Ryan shuddered, and then heaved, but nothing but bile came up. He still leaned all forward, chest spasming. A small whimper escaped him.

Anneliese moved on instinct, giving up on asking or being manageable or trying to guess whatever the correct reaction to this situation would be. She moved forward, her hand shooting to his back, trying to smooth the tensed muscles. His back was soaked with sweat.

"You are okay. Relax. It's alright," she murmured.

"Uuurp. The hell. So is this what a guy must do to get your attention?" He asked through a burp. The playful tone didn't match the state of his body at all.

"I don't understand. You have been mean to me since the beginning." She kept rubbing his back, since he didn't say anything to stop her.

"I wasn't mean. I was trying to make conversation. Make you talk. Get angry. Explain things. Stand up for yourself. But all you did was ignore me, turn a cold shoulder or run away. Like I wasn't even-urrrrp-even worth the effort."

"That's kindergarten logic. The boy who is mean to you just likes you."

"So what if it is? Kindergarten is for children. Children know the best. They are their purest human selves before society gets their claws into them with expectations. You won't insult me with that." He straighned back up and burped loudly.

She watched him like a hawk. He was so shaky and sweaty, but he didn't seem bothered at all. Like he could just ignore his symptoms or as if they weren't distressing him.

"I'm starting to think it's very hard to insult you." She kept her hand on his back, feeling him shiver.

"See? I'm not stupid, just cause I like sports or whatever you seem to think. We aren't aggressive apes beating out excess testerone out of each other. And you come to study us, like we are a damn weird experiment you aren't sure is tolerated at university." He kept a hand on his stomach from the side, leaning sideways a little. Must have been hurting still. She pushed her shoulder into his, trying to steady him. He was way higher than her, he could flop her over easily.

"I'm not studying you like objects or animals. It's called participatory observation, because I want to understand your attitudes, group dynamics, and interactions. It's foreign to me because of my background and my personal knowledge bubble as a researcher, not because I think less of you." She felt his weight as he leaned into the contact between their shoulders. But he held himself in check not to unbalance her.

She wasn't even sure why she blabbed on, but his bleary eyes focused on her.

"Pche. You are good at hiding it, but you think yourself way higher than everyone around." 

"I don't-"

"Hi, it's fine. I do that too. You are a challenge and you work hard and love what you do, so it's hard to impress you." He snickered. "Am I managing?" 

"This is ridiculous." She stepped away from him then as if burned, suddenly feeling self-conscious. How did she dare to touch him so casually out of the blue? He didn't seem to mind at all. 

"Why do you think conflict with someone means connection? That's so weird." She huffed.

"Are you social scientists allowed to say that? I thought the world "normal" and "weird" were all but taboo so you don't force others into stereotypes..." he teased.

"Alright I get it. Did you look this stuff up? You are way too prepared."

"Oh, I'm not. But if I knew getting sick was a way to get your attention..." He burped again, loudly, not even trying to stifle it. 

"What's wrong with you anyway?" She was suspecting he was trying to distract her.

He was silent for a moment, looking into the distance, taking slow measured breaths. "Just exhaustion. Don't worry, you won't catch anything from me."

"That was not- exhaustion?" Did he push himself too much in training? That was horrible and...surprisingly insecure from someone so full of himself.

"I missed almost an entire year. Have to catch up fast or they will leave me behind, when real matches start."  There was seriousness to his voice that was new to this conversation. 

She stared at him for a while, thinking of a polite answers and then scratching them all and wrinkling her nose. "Can't you do it more gradually? Getting sick seems a bit extreme."

He massages his chest with one hand. "If it doesn't hurt, then it isn't working."

She rolled her eyes. 

He grinned. "This is way more fun, when you say what you mean."

During the Battle of Najaf, U.S. Marine James Hassell, risked his life to carry his wounded buddy, Ryan Borgstrom, 60 yards through open gunfire.

When the photographer captured the moment, Hassell simply said, "We're Marines. That's what we do." The Marines of Charlie Company 1st Battalion 4th Marine Regiment carried out a raid on the Najaf residence of Moqtada al-Sadr during the Battle of Najaf on August 12, 2004.

Weekend Update 04/14/2024

Nerdie, you’re kinda late tonight.

Yeah, it was all taxes this weekend. 😭 Ugh. But it’s done. Let’s not talk about it anymore.

OK…So what’s new?

Back to work after time off. Adjusting and writing. I did watch the Ryan Gosling SNL episode. I laughed so hard.

I did get a manicure and pedicure - 💜 purple hehe!

I did read some fics this week:

1. Something Old by @fhatbhabie (Javi G x plus size female)

2. Sexting by @reallyrallyauthor (Steven Grant x Marc Spector x Jake Lockley x You)

3. Enchanted to Meet You by @beskarandblasters (Din Djarin x f reader)

4. Fires at Midnight by @inept-the-magnificent (Lucian Flores x f reader)

5. A Midnight Plea by @soft-persephone (Marc Spector x fem reader)

6. A Galaxy Far Far Away part 6: Halloween at Juniper Cottage - Pick your own pumpkin by @grogusmum (Din Djarin x earthling f reader)

7. I’ll Give You The Moon by @soft-persephone (Marc Spector x fem reader)

8. Mi Santa by @fhatbhabie (Frankie Morales x reader)

I did write some this week 👀 I’m sorry I’m advance. Things ended up dark. 😭 Those are marked with the red.

Back & Nose, Hair and Hat - (Only Parts of you Mr. Morales Series)

Her smile was worth it - for the iamasaddie writing challenge 2.0 (Pero Tovar modern AU DARK FIC)

Interlude Two - Tell me about her and Part Seven Merging the Star Clusters - (The Lake between us Series)

Scarlet Stains and their Echoes (DARK FIC) - Post Apocalyptic Fluff and Stuff

Chapter 3: Can we talk for a minute? - This is the Neighborhood Din Series.

This week there were a few things, like the writing challenge 2.0 @iamasaddie put together. We sent in asks, pick a color (I did it to myself, I asked for mob enforcer- where else was the fic to go but dark?) Despite being kinda freaked out at what I wrote (I’ll need to process that later) I like it. I usually don’t do dark fics but given recent themes in my writing it’s there. 👀 So I’ll write it if it pops up in the brain.

And this past weekend (I totally missed but sweethearts @perotovar and @honeyedmiller tagged me in) was the @swiftiscruff friendship exchange. From what I saw, people are writing fics for each other, making gif and moodboards and proving much needed friendship and fun. 😎

I’m sure there are other things. But I dunno what they are. 🤣 I hope everyone enjoys what they’re working on. And if you need to rest, drink some water, dance around, nap, all the things.

This week there will another chapter of Din’s neighborhood, I FINALLY have more Din fluff. Well in the neighborhood and Star Ocean Series. I should have another chapter of Benny and actual fluff post apocalypse. It escaped last week. So we’re bringing it back.

No more Ezra and his gumbo or tanktop 🥺 Part 8 will be up next Sunday. His prose will be no more for now. 🙃

My Frankie miniseries will be almost done. This Friday and the next Friday of my math is right. lol

Special thanks:

@mysterious-moonstruck-musings for finding an excellent pic of Frankie’s back and giving me notes on smut that I chose not to use for now

@connectioneverywhere for letting me talk their thumbs off and putting them to sleep. 🤣

@soft-persephone I see you 👀 Two words: Dem noses. 👃 You know. 😄

@megamindsecretlair You need to write about some curls! Telling me and Softie to write about them. You know which curls. 🤭

@soft-girl-musings Songbird, Cabbie and loud ass Marcello on drums. Why did I half expect him to be playing drums on SNL? 😂 He was wearing a very loud shirt so half credit.

@tinytinymenace it’s always fun seeing your namesake laying and just relaxing. 😎 With a dope poof.

@604to647 I really appreciated your ask and messages this week. 💜

Have a great week everyone! 🥰

Love Nerdie ❤️❤️❤️

Discharge Petition for H.R. 7152, the Civil Rights Act of 1964

Record Group 233: Records of the U.S. House of RepresentativesSeries: General Records

This item, H.R. 7152, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, faced strong opposition in the House Rules Committee. Howard Smith, Chairman of the committee, refused to schedule hearings for the bill. Emanuel Celler, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, attempted to use this discharge petition to move the bill out of committee without holding hearings. The petition failed to gain the required majority of Congress (218 signatures), but forced Chairman Smith to schedule hearings.

88th CONGRESS. House of Representatives No. 5 Motion to Discharge a Committee from the Consideration of a RESOLUTION (State whether bill, joint resolution, or resolution) December 9, 1963 To the Clerk of the House of Representatives: Pursuant to Clause 4 of Rule XXVII (see rule on page 7), I EMANUEL CELLER (Name of Member), move to discharge to the Commitee on RULES (Committee) from the consideration of the RESOLUTION; H. Res. 574 entitled, a RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF THE BILL (H. R. 7152) which was referred to said committee November 27, 1963 in support of which motion the undersigned Members of the House of Representatives affix their signatures, to wit: 1. Emanuel Celler 2.

Lucian <3

[a/n]: we know how this goes……………...☹️ tw: child abuse, implied SA.

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” Lucian sobbed hysterically, his tears and snot running down his face and onto the floor as the belt buckle busted against his back. The impacts were becoming so harsh that patches of his pale skin were shaded an unnaturally dark red, displayed with the various other colors of bruises that were left on his body from days prior.

It felt like every apology he gave her resulted in another strike against his spinal cord. She started off with his butt, which is why his body was forcibly bent over her lap, but as she grew more angry, she went higher — harder.

Her eyes were devoid of all emotion as yet another crack of the belt echoed through the house. The sound was practically embedded into the wall’s foundation from how often she did it. But even then, she didn’t seem to realize or care about the statistics. She would do it when he was bad. That’s all.

Upon hearing the clacking of the metal against the little boy’s skin, Ryan came up from the basement and into the living room. When he saw the sight of Lucian nearly hanging upside down while his mother brutally beat his lower back, his voice cracked louder than the belt ever could.

“Michelle!”

She released him. Lucian toppled to the floor and grabbed at his back, sobbing as he tried to rub it to make it feel better — but to no success.

Finally, she stood up from the couch and extended her arm to point out the furthest corner of the living room. “Go.”

Lucian obeyed. Facing the corner and putting his forehead against the wall, he tried his best to stand up straight like she taught him. He didn’t want her to be mad anymore. He wanted her to forgive him.

His stepfather’s voice was stern as he spoke to his mother, presumably trying to get to the bottom of her consistent violent tendencies toward her son. Lucian knew it wouldn’t get anywhere. It never did.

“What did he do?”

Michelle hesitated for a moment, almost as if she was debating on whether or not to tell the truth. “…He pissed the bed again.”

Ryan didn’t take kindly to that explanation. “You’re hitting him like he did it on purpose! He’s only six!”

“Yeah, six! He’s way too old to be pissing himself at night! What, Ryan? You want me to put diapers on him or do you want him to learn not to fucking piss all over the place when he’s sleeping?!”

“How the hell is beating him going to stop that?! No one can control what they do when they’re sleeping! Are you hearing yourself?!”

“Surely a six-year-old can come tell his mother whenever he pissed all over himself, right? And not throw himself whenever I tell him to get in the shower? He cries and cries and cries whenever I tell him to wash himself off because he’s a disrespectful little brat! ‘Don’t make Daddy wash me, I can wash myself!’ Then he stands in the bathroom for twenty minutes doing God knows what!”

“So, hold on, you’re beating him like that because he cried about getting in the shower? But he got in the shower, didn’t he?”

“Yeah, he got in the shower after twenty minutes of me fucking begging him.”

“Okay, so what’s the problem? Why’re you beating him after he cleaned himself off?”

“Because he was still crying like a little girl when he came out, so I gave him something to cry about. He needs to learn how to shut his fucking mouth when I tell him to. Little slut can’t do it for more than five seconds.”

“What the fuck did you just call him?!”

“A slut! You want me to call him over here so I can say it to his face?! He’s stupid fucking slut!”

“He’s six!”

Upon hearing that, Michelle grabbed her car keys and started putting on her coat. Ryan followed her around the house, trying to get his point entirely across and prevent her from running off again.

“Don’t run away, Michelle! You need to apologize for what you said! That little boy has done nothing to you! Nothing! And yet, every fucking night, it’s always something! ‘He didn’t put his clothes away right’ or ‘he didn’t put his dish in the dishwasher!’ He’s only in the first grade! You’re treating him like he’s some fucking prisoner!”

Following her into the kitchen where her pack of cigarettes laid on the table, Ryan tried to grab her arm and yank her back. She shoved him away.

“I’m tired of you telling me how to raise my kid. I can do and say whatever the fuck I wanna to him. I gave birth to him. I feed him. I put clothes on his back. I give him a place to stay. He needs to act right.”

“Look how you’re talking about him. ‘I give my kid basic necessities to live, look at what a good mother I am!’ Seriously, Michelle. Wake up. You’re going to do him so much damage that you’re not even gonna recognize him anymore. You’re fucking with his brain. You’re abusing him.”

“SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH!”

Despite being in the next room, Lucian flinched from her voice. He pressed his forehead against the wall harder, clenching his eyes shut and crying silently to himself. He was terrified of what she was capable of doing. He knew that one wrong move could result in another fist-fight between the two.

“YOU DON’T KNOW SHIT ABOUT RAISING A KID! WHY THE FUCK SHOULD I CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU SAY?!”

“Michelle—!”

“YOU KNOW EVERYTHING I SAY IS TRUE! THAT KID IS GOING TO BECOME JUST LIKE HIS FATHER! DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?! I ALREADY SEE IT IN HIS EYES!”

“You don’t—!”

“STOP PRETENDING TO CARE! YOU DON’T FUCKING CARE! WE BOTH KNOW THE REASON WHY YOU’RE DOING THIS!”

“What’s the reason, Michelle? You tell me.”

Silence. Long, dreadful silence.

And with that, the front door slammed shut and shook the entire house. Lucian continued to stare at the wall even in her absence, but allowed himself to stop holding back his tears. He loved his mother. He knew somewhere deep inside, she loved him too. He just wished she’d stop being such a bitch.

He hated how loud his sniffles and whimpers were now that she was gone. As he predicted in less than a second, Ryan approached him because of it. He tensed up and clutched at his shirt, trying his hardest not to do anything to make him upset.

Ryan kneeled down beside him silently. “…It’s okay, Bunny. You’re not in trouble.”

Even with that assurance, Lucian continued to face the wall. “I don’t want Momma to be mad at me anymore…”

Ryan grabbed his shoulder and pulled him away from the wall. This only caused him to cry more.

“I-I didn’t mean to. I promise I didn’t. I-It just happened and…!”

“I know, honey. I’m not mad at you.”

Lucian averted his eyes. Ryan moved closer and rubbed his upper arms in an attempt to console him.

“Do you ever wake up when it happens?”

“Sometimes…” he murmured, truly ashamed of himself. “But I don’t wanna wake her up ‘cause she’ll get really mad at me…”

“Well, you can always wake me up instead.”

Finally, they made eye contact. Ryan saw his little stepson staring back at him with wide, tearful eyes. Lucian saw his stepfather staring at him with those same dark and cold eyes that haunted his conscience. Even with a soothing voice and warm expression, those callous eyes gave up the facade. Lucian understood it was a reflection of who he truly was on the inside — unfeeling and cruel.

Lucian wiped his tears with his sleeve, feeling Ryan’s hands lowering to his hips.

“Do you go to the bathroom before bed? Are you sure you’re not holding it?”

“I-I’m not. I just get really scared a-and then it happens.”

“Scared? Scared of what, honey?”

Lucian’s eyes widened as he recalled it. He shuddered and shook his head, refusing to tell him until he got closer. When he did, he panicked.

“I…I have really bad dreams.”

Ryan hesitated before asking. “About what?”

“Please don’t be mad…”

“Of course I won’t be.”

Lucian lowered his head and stared at the floor. He couldn’t look at him when he said it. It hurt too much to see those same eyes that fell upon his nude body before, full of lust and desire.

“You.”

There was a long while of silence. Lucian couldn’t bear to look him in the face, but especially not in the eyes. He hated them. He truly did.

Ryan’s arms met his waist as he pulled him in for a tight embrace. Lowering his hands from his face Lucian stood motionless, staring into space while a million thoughts swarmed through him. He didn’t know what to do or think. At least, not until Ryan started speaking.

“It’s okay.” His voice was eerily quiet as he whispered in his ear rather than speaking with his chest. “It’s okay. I’m not mad.”

Lucian sobbed into his shoulder, feeling safe enough to accept his embrace and wrap his arms around him too. It felt nice to be held.

“Daddy…” he cried, moving closer in response to Ryan’s hands stroking his sore back.

“I love you, Bunny. You know that, right?”

Ryan pressed his lips against Lucian’s cheek. Now Lucian felt guilty. He always made him feel guilty.

“I really do love you. Please don’t ever think that I don’t. I know I’ve hurt you, I know I have, but I want to make it better.” He held Lucian even tighter. “I just love you so much…I know it’s wrong, Bunny. I know.”

Ryan’s voice made him even sadder. He loved his stepfather just as much as his mother. Even if he was scared of him, even if he knew that he’d still hurt him after this, he loved him all the same.

Sweeping him off his feet and carrying him over to the couch, Ryan rested his stepson on his lap. His hair was glued to his round face from all the tears his eyes produced, so Ryan began gently combing it back with his fingers, looking at him with those same dark eyes as before. Lucian trembled from his touch. As much as he loved physical affection, he could never be sure what was going through Ryan’s mind as he did it. At any second, he could hurt him again with the same calloused hands that held his petite frame lovingly.

“Does it still hurt where she hit you?”

Lucian’s eyes accidentally met his. “Mhm…”

“Can I see?”

Lucian never denied him. Getting off his lap and turning around, he lifted his shirt up a little so he could see all the fresh bruises. Adrenaline zipped through his veins when he felt him grab the end of his shirt and lift it up more. In response to that, Lucian quickly turned back around and pulled his shirt down as far as it could go. Ryan looked at him with a sad glint in his eyes.

“I’m not going to hurt you, Bunny. Okay? I promise I won’t.”

Lucian shook his head.

“Listen to me. Lay down so I can see it.”

It was sad how easy it was to get Lucian to listen. All he had to do was raise his voice just a notch lower than before.

Lowering his head onto Ryan’s lap, Lucian sprawled out across the couch so he could his back better. Various patches of red, purple, and blue were scattered across the little boy’s pale skin. It was sickening to see all the different colors and shades spread out before his eyes. Some were fresh, some were old, but his little body desperately worked to heal all of them. In the end, it didn’t matter if it succeeded or not. The wounds returned too quickly.

His silence caused Lucian discomfort. He tried to lift his head to see what he was doing, but he got too scared and put it back down.

Eventually, Ryan released him and stood back up, towering over his petite frame. “Take a little nap, honey. I’ll wake you up when breakfast is ready.”

Lucian lifted his head to look at him one last time. “Are you mad at me?”

“No, Bunny. Of course not.”

“…Are you mad at Mommy?”

“Don’t worry your pretty little head about things like that, baby.”

Lucian felt warm inside. “…Okay.”

Ryan covered him up with a thin blanket and pushed his hair from his face, planting a kiss on his wet cheek.

“I love you, Daddy.”

“I love you too. Always.”

Without alcohol in his system, his Daddy really did love him — Lucian knew it wouldn’t be long before his sobriety wore off and he picked up another bottle but until then, he loved him all the same. It just sucked how his heartbeat didn’t regulate until he was out of sight.
