Colin & Jared and another Dublin thing that connects them: U2

Colin Farrell and Jared Leto have one thing in common beyond a doubt: their affinity for the band U2. Not only affinity for, but also proximity to them.

Jared & U2

Let's look at the picture below. It hints at U2 gifting the Leto brother's band Thirty Seconds to Mars (30STM) a lot of Guinness and Champagne and leaving their 'best wishes' and a recipe to mix all of that together after 30STM's Dublin concert on May 30, 2018.

Pretty friendly. Yeah, and why not?

In 2017 Jared had in fact presented the 'Global Icon' Award To U2 at the MTV EMAs like a good ol' friend and with a lot of praise, framing the influence of U2's 1987 album The Joshua Tree on Shannon and him in the 80ies like some kind of founding myth for 30STM. It's not even hyperbole: they had frequent U2 collaborators Steve Lillywhite and Flood produce their album This Is War (2009) and Lillywhite Love, Lust, Faith + Dreams (2013). Unsurprisingly they sound very U2ish.

Fun fact: the picture was posted on Twitter on May 31 - Colin Farrell's 42nd birthday.

Colin & U2

Colin Farrell is some kind of honorary member of U2 since - forever. A google search reaps plenty of evidence of him going to concerts or hanging out with them at PR events, award shows or just hanging out.

He's so close with the band, he even met his on-off-girlfriend through them, who was The Edge's PA. It's not only him, all Farrells are friendly with the band. In 2011 Bono attended Eamon Farrell's birthday party, who's Colin's brother, even though Colin wasn't present, and so on. I don't know if this is a common Dubliner thing, maybe all Dubliners know U2 personally in some way...

Fun fact: Colin's godmother and aunt Martina is married to a man who owned U2's favorite club among others in the 1980ies. U2 once flew from somewhere in Europe back to Ireland just to go to that club.

In 2003, Colin, at the height of superstardom, and Bono were practically glued together. The picture below shows them at an Oscar party (Jared was there too).

Jared & U2

Jared has crossed paths at least with The Edge and Bono long before 2017. No wonder as Bono is a sucker for fame and money and has been mingling in Hollywood society for decades. In 2003, the year Colin was glued to Bono's side, Jared's hardly been a total stranger to the "U2'ers" either...

The picture below shows him at a Golden Globes party in 2003. (Colin was there too) Jared's girlfriend Cameron Diaz, at the height of her stardom and who would dump him for Justin Timberlake shortly after this, had starred in Scorsese’s Gangs on New York (2002). U2 had written a song for the soundtrack and won a Golden Globe award for it, but not the Oscar. In fact, the movie won none of its ten nominations. All Oscar hopes for that movie were squashed.

We see Jared here kind of cockblocking/chatting up Daniel Day Lewis whom he to this day quotes as an inspiration and role model as an actor.

Colin & Jared & U2

Alexander (2004) was shot on three different locations in Morocco, England and Thailand from late September 2003 to mid February 2004. Right after returning home from the Alexander set in Thailand, Jared started to perform Where the streets have no name (WTSHNN) at 30STM concerts. Along with this the infamous Alexander-ish song A Modern Myth was played live for the first time, which made it the first song from their 2005 album A Beautiful Lie that saw the light of day.

After shooting for months with ultra U2 fan Colin, choosing a U2 song that talks of sunlight, dust clouds, poison rain, the desire to break free and be together - and desert plains.... Hello Morocco nostalgia?! Most of the cast were Irish dudes culturally socialized in the 80ies. I can easily imagine this song being an unoffical hymn at parties. Besides Macarena, maybe.

I think, for Jared WTSHNN is linked to the experience of shooting Alexander, which he said was full of "adventures" and changed his life and let him "fall in love with the desert". Both Jared and Colin have talked about the "amazing" experience they had in Morocco. It's telling that after general shooting for Alexander had stopped merely a week prior (Feb 13, 2004), Jared flew back to L.A., still looking like Hephaistion and all, and played these two songs.

In 2008 Colin and Jared were in Park City, Utah, for several days. Why?

The Sundance Film Festival.

Colin promoted In Bruges (2007) and the documentary Kicking it (2008). He was executive producer and narrator for the latter. In Bruges was set as the opening night film and premiered on January 17. The film would rehabilitate Colin as an actor after the ill-received Alexander had almost tanked his career and plunged him into the arguably most severe personal crisis of his life.

In January 2008 Colin was 31 years old and 24 months into his struggle for sobriety. His little son had been diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder that would impede his intellectual development and come with medical complications. Colin's had to wrestle with a stalker, with the publication of an unauthorized sex tape and a romantic liaison with a 21-year-old medical student that took a morbid turn when her depressive ex-boyfriend couldn't handle the break-up and committed suicide. And certainly there were some more problems that didn't go public.

In Bruges though would win him a Golden Globe 2009. A ray of light on the horizon...

Fun fact: Colin's character is named Ray. Jared had played a Ray before in Lonely Hearts Killers (2006) with Salma Hayek, who had starred alongside Colin in Ask the Dust (2006) right before she went on to shoot with Jared. A character called Rayon would then be Jared's Oscar ticket in 2014.

Jared had no movies to promote at Sundance 2008, he was just there... he hopped from party to party accompanied by Brent Bolthouse - a man generally described as a L.A. "nightlife impresario and businessman" - to whom Jared was glued to in public for most of the 2000s until he was suddently and inexplicably not. Jared's most memorable contribution to the festival that year was making out with Paris Hilton for some reason.

Jared and Colin with festival director Geoff Gilmore.

On January 19, 2008 U2 graced the Park City, Utah with their presence to introduce another of their vanity projects: U2 3D. "U2 3D mobilizes digital 3-D and surround-sound technology to plunge us into almost supernatural proximity to the musicians." Alright...

Jared and Brent attended the first screening of U2 3D. The two screenings and parties for U2 3D were the hottest tickets in town that year. Long waiting lines and exclusive guest lists.

Before the screening there was a U2 3D cocktails and dinner party at the Bon Appetit Supper Club. Colin was invited. He's chatting to the U2 3D director Catherine Owens here.

But he left early to attend the screening of Kicking it. From there he went to the after party at Greenhouse at the top of Main and hung out some more with Brendan Gleeson and Mary-Kate Olsen. The U2 3D after party was at the same place. One party became the next and Colin and the U2ers were present.

The picture shows Colin and Mary-Kate cuddling at the In Bruges party, two days before the U2 3D premiere.

Fun fact: Mr. Leto isn't a stranger to the Olsen twins, especially Ashley, either...

I'm pretty sure the two well-connected L.A. hipsters Leto and Bolthouse didn't miss out on the U2 3D after party. There were rumors of the band performing there, which didn't happen in the end. They somehow had secured tickets for the screening, which, by all accounts, wasn't an easy task, they probably made their way inside the after party as well.

It's improbable that Colin and Jared roamed the same street at the same festival for some days, and didn't take notice of each other, not even amidst the U2 hype in that year.

Especially when an Irish newspaper article would quote Jared saying something like this shortly after this (January 25, 2008):

I don't know if you've spent any time in Colin's company, but that guy is just so amazing. His zest for life is infectious. I consider him to be a good friend and hopefully if he's in Dublin when we're there, we'll get to hang out.

So why not hang out in Park City? Proof of this "good friendship" is hard do come by since at least 2004.

U2 360° tour 2009

So this is Jared in a workflow in his home studio cutting the Kings and Queens music video. Only two months to go until the release of This Is War. Maybe he's a bit distracted because all the celebrities flock out to Pasadena to see U2 on their 360° tour at the Rose Bowl. Among them - of course - Colin Farrell, seen here in the backstage area. He's found himself a second baby mama while filming a movie with her the year before.

Fun fact: the liaison unfortunately overlapped with his relationship with writer Emma Forrest to whom he also proposed parenthood, as one can read in her very fine, bittersweet memoir Your Voice In My Head (2011).

Her name is Alicja Bachleda-Curuś. She's 26 years old in this picture (baby daddy is 33) and has delivered a baby son only 18 days ago but you wouldn't know it just looking at her. It's unclear whether the reIationship at this point is still a romantic one, or if it ever really was, because he was already busy thinking about Elizabeth Taylor when he came home from the hospital. Alright... Alicja's baby daddy is about to dump her, but provide for her. That kind of thing.

I somehow love that Henry is her spitting image nowadays!

MTV Unplugged (2011)

In 2011 30STM performed a very good version of WTSHNN during their session. Obviously still fans of the song.

Fun fact: Colin was in NYC on the day (May 13) the MTV Unplugged session with the WTSHNN cover was recorded.

He was papped around Times Square, early and late evening in front of the (then) Foxwoods Theatre (right next to the New Victory Theater) looking a bit pissed.

Apparently he was on his way to a preview performance for the ill-fated Spider-Man musical Turn off the dark that had music written by his buddies Bono and The Edge. After a hiatus for creative overhaul preview shows had begun again May 12th.

Fun fact: this whole Spiderman musical idea suffered from hubris, not unlike Alexander had, which was mostly rooted in this constellation:

Other pics and a video of Colin were taken in front of the Mandarin Oriental hotel, wether it was the next morning or not is hard to tell. Colin takes a cab and off he goes… He's in different attire and not accompanied by his sister Claudine, so probably the day after, May 14.

Anyway, he went to NYC with his sister, and though all the available paparazzi fotos give the date as May 13, there's a chance the Farrell siblings were personally invited by the producers, namely Bono and the Edge, to attend the reopening (preview) show which was set for the 12th. Whichever date it was, the fact remains that Colin was in town when Jared recorded MTV Unplugged.

Fun fact: Unplugged also featured a cover version of Message in a bottle by The Police, that wasn't televised (along with Alibi). They played an acoustic version of Message in a bottle 18 times while on tour in 2005 and 9 times in 2006, then several years did not. 2005 was the year Colin was shooting Miami Vice ending in an OD, and 2006 his first year sober after rehab.

Jared had multi day rehearsals for Unplugged at the (former) Sony music studios which were in 20 min walking/driving distance from Times Square. All of the places are in proximity.

Wouldn’t Colin pay a visit to a friend he used to be close to, a fellow U2 fan? It would be so fitting for him as a gesture of support.

Alas, nothing of the kind was ever known…

VIA GOOGLE TRANSLATE. 👇

"In April 2018, the concert of the American pop rock group Thirty Seconds To Mars in Prague's Tipsport Arena was a little ordeal. This year, at the same place, already called the Fortuna hall, things were a little better. But no concerts or visual feasts took place.

Great actor, good songwriter, very decent singer in the studio and average in concerts. That's Jared Leto, the boss and soul of the group that was born in Los Angeles in 1998. It had its best times in the second half of the 2000s, while it's been struggling a bit in recent years.

From the exciting stadium sound, she got to cooler electronics, with which unfortunately she no longer produces as strong songs as on the previous records. As satisfying as last year's It's the End of the World but It's a Beautiful Day is compared to the previous weak effort America (2018), the songs from it fall short of the band's historical best pieces.

The forms of the last two records seem to be imprinted in the visuals of the concert. It was basically boring compared to the current rock culture. There are only two Thirty Seconds To Mars. Jared Leto, singing and occasionally playing guitar, and his drummer brother Shannon Leto. Guitarist Stevie Aiello accompanies them at concerts, but he stays away.

The brothers lost themselves on the huge stage. One drummed and the other tried in vain to "fill" the stage. His frequent running into the circle didn't help, nor did the confetti shot over the heads of the audience, the colorful balloons sent there, even the occasional fire effects, which at one point Jared Leto tried to highlight with a short exit with a small flamethrower.

Nothing amazing happened at the screening behind the musicians. The lines of light constantly resembled the torso of a triangle or transformed into a triangle, and only during A Beautiful Lie, the penultimate song of the basic set, did the clip appear in the projection.

The songs selected from multiple albums were sonically pressurized and aggressive. However, it was not due to the band's work on stage, it is impossible to coax such a sound out of two musicians. Musical intros and playbacks of choral choruses played a significant role, which as a result created the impression of a spectacular stadium sound.

Jared Leto didn't bother singing as much as he did six years ago, but he didn't give a convincing performance. Intonally it was sometimes better and sometimes worse, he sang tense passages, which are quite a lot in their songs, or left it to the audience in the hall. For example, those who wished to hear his breathtaking album performance of the live version of the hit This Is War were disappointed, as Leto simply "threw it to the fans".

Thirty Seconds To Mars played an average concert. It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that if they were on Mars for thirty seconds before the start of the show, they didn't come a hair's breadth from any space goals after that. Today they are quite far from them."

@meghan12151977 only a day late. But here is a one shot as promised 😘

Shannon Imagine.

Change your ticket 

“Okay that’s it I gotta get packing” I say to Shannon as I slide out of the bed dressed in only his t-shirt. “Don’t go. Not yet. We still have some time left. Check out time is at 12 it’s only 10″ he fights. “That maybe but I have a flight to catch at 1. So I need to leave for the airport in half an hour”. I grabbed my small suitcase and started packing what little clothes I’d brought with me and taking out my shower bag and clothes for today. “Let me change your ticket. Please. Just spend a couple more days with me?” he finally sat up and reached out a hand. I took it and crawled onto the bed. His big arms wrapped around me as he kissed up my neck. “Shan, I can’t let you do that and I can’t afford it. I will see you in a couple of weeks anyway when you come back for a few days” he pouted at my words. I am going to have a shower. Behave while I’m gone. Understood?” I stood up and picked up my shower bag. “Okay” he nodded as he too got out of bed and walked over to the desk with his laptop on. 

“I mean it babe” I raised my eyebrows. “Okay!” he emphasized. 

I played some music on my phone and sang along while I was in the shower. 

After I walked back into the room in just my towel and walked over behind Shannon. He was still sitting at the desk. I leaned down and kissed the tattoo on his back, then the one under his ear. My hand snaked around to his chest and I raised my head to look at the computer screen. “Baaabbbeee? Why does it say my flight has changed?” I walked over to the bed as he turned around with a smile on his face. He shut the laptop down. “I changed your flight” his small smile had widened. “I thought I said not to, I also said behave. Did you just ignore me completely?” I laughed as I threw the pillows from the bed at him. “Hey I just couldn’t let you leave yet. We need to explore this beautiful city together. Plus what else am I suppose to do? We have a couple days off and you’re going to leave me here alone. Selfish or what?” he joked. I walked over to him and sat on his lap still in my towel. “You Mr. Leto are impossible” I leaned in a gently kissed his lips. “But you wouldn’t have it any other way” he added as he leaned back in for another gentle peck. “That’s true. Right let do something fun today. We are in Paris! The city of love. Lets love it up bitches!” I shouted. Shannon let out a roar of a laugh. “That’s the feminine girl I fell in love with” he chuckled. I took out my bottle of lotion and placed it on the bed side table. I took off my towel and placed my leg on the bed. Shannon sat back in his chair while I started rubbing in the lotion. “Why do you insist on watching this part. It’s so unflattering. Everything is just hanging out” I asked. “Princess, the naked lady is why I’m watching. She is touching herself. It’s like a free show” he laughed again, making me join in. “The naked lady needs help doing her back please” before I finished my sentence Shannon was up and behind me. His warmed the lotion in his hands before massaging it into my back. His hands started at my shoulders working out all the kinks. Then down to my mid section. They were wandering lower and lower. “Babe I said back not butt” I tuned my head. “Sorry, it’s just so beautiful”. He was so funny. “I turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck. “I love you, you know that don’t you” I nuzzled into his neck. “Of course I do. I love you too”. His hands found their way to my butt again. “and this tushy” he pulled me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. His kiss was passionate and I knew what he wanted. “No sexy time yet boo” I unwrapped my legs and they found their way to the floor. He huffed. “Let’s enjoy this city”. We got dressed and packed our things to move onto our next hotel. It was literally opposite the Eiffel tower. We checked in and started exploring. Fist stop was a quiet coffee shop for breakfast/ lunch. After we went to the top of the Eiffel tower. “Isn’t the view just beautiful” I asked him looking over Paris. His arms made their way around my waist. “Not as beautiful as you” he whispered in my ear. After a few hours we made our way back to the hotel. “Baby, put this on and meet me on the roof.” He walked out of the room and across the hallway into his brothers room.  I opened up the garment bag and inside was a gorgeous white floor length dress and some white heels in the bottom of the bag. I put them on and reapplied my make up and added some fine jewelry. I walked up to the roof of the hotel where Shannon waited for me dressed in a black suit. He looked so sexy. The Eiffel tower was fully lit behind him. It was beautiful. 

“Hey pretty lady” he beamed. “Hey handsome, what do you have planned here?”. “Well, we are going to have dinner up here and take in the view. But first I’d like to ask you a question” he got down on one knee “Y/N, Y/L/N. You are the most amazing person in my life. I appreciate you and am so thankful for whatever or who ever brought you to me. Will you make me the happiest man alive? Will you marry me?” I almost fell over when I saw the big cushion cut ring in the box that sat in his hands. “Shannon, Yes. Oh my..Yes”

“I love the Leto brothers but Shannon doesn’t get enough love. My request is that Shannon in in love with reader but he thinks she likes Jared.Shannon over hears the reader confessing to Jared that she loves Shannon. He corners her and things get heated. Sorry if isn’t kinda long”

description: after being overlooked by his famous brother for so many years, he never expects the woman of his dreams to fall for him too

pairing: shannon leto x female!reader

warnings: swearing

masterlist (one, two)

When your brother is a big well known actor as well as a musician, it’s easy to be thrown into the shadows. That’s how Shannon saw it, anyways.

He had been a part of Thirty Seconds to Mars since the band’s inception, just as long as Jared had been in it. He was a part of every album, every song, every tour, every interview. He was just as much a part of the band as Jared was, but because of Jared’s fame in the acting department, he was the only one that people knew. He had a name to the public, but Shannon was always “the drummer”, or “Jared’s brother”, or “hey, who’s this guy with you?”.

Shannon was constantly overlooked, so of course he expected things to be the same when it came to (Y/N).

They met through Jared (of course). She had worked with him on a movie and after the very first day Jared had immediately called Shannon to tell him, “I want you to meet this girl I’m working with.”

As Jared predicted, Shannon really liked her and the two of them hit it off the minute they met. He had never felt this way for anyone before. She was so easy to talk to and they shared similar interests. He spent nearly an hour just talking to her before she was pulled away for filming.

Shannon felt so hopeful that he could have something with (Y/N), until he watched a scene between her and Jared. He knew it was just acting, there was nothing to it, but there was something in the way she looked at Jared, both in and out of character. It was a look he had seen before, the look Jared had gotten over him numerous times. He could just be reading too much into it, but with how many times he had been hurt and overlooked in the past, he didn’t want to get his hopes up again.

Near the end of filming, Shannon was visiting set as he usually did. He was about to knock on Jared’s trailer door when he heard a familiar voice inside.

“Can I ask you something?”

Shannon’s heart squeezed in his chest. He should’ve knocked or walked away and came back later. He had a feeling he shouldn’t be here for whatever (Y/N) was about to ask Jared. But he was stuck in place - his hand raised to knock, leaning forward just enough to hear the conversation.

“Is Shannon single?”

The question threw off both Leto brothers as Jared was silent for a moment.

“Yeah, he is,” he finally said. “Why do you ask?”

(Y/N) sighed. “I’m going to tell you something and you have to promise not to tell anyone.” There was a pause as Shannon figured Jared nodded. “I really like Shannon. Ever since I first met him, I had feelings for him.”

Shannon sucked in a breath, but quickly clamped a hand over his mouth in case they could hear him.

“I thought things were going so well that first time,” (Y/N) continued. “But then he got all...closed off. I don’t know, maybe I’m reading too much into it, but he just doesn’t seem the same anymore. I thought maybe it was because he started seeing someone.”

“If he has, he hasn’t mentioned it. Why haven’t you talked to him about how you feel?”

“I just told you I thought he was in a relationship. I didn’t want to break my own heart by telling him I have feelings for him and he tells me he has a girlfriend.”

“Well, as far as I know he’s single, which means you should go for it with him.”

Before anything else could be said, the trailer door opened, nearly knocking Shannon over. He froze like a deer in headlights as he looked up at Jared and (Y/N), their shocked expressions mirroring his.

Jared looked over at (Y/N) before facing Shannon again. “Hey brother. I gotta go to set, but you two have a lovely conversation.”

He gave Shannon a knowing look before walking past him, leaving him and (Y/N) completely alone. Shannon’s ears were burning in embarrassment from getting caught. He wanted to disappear into the ground and never face (Y/N) again.

She was staring at the ground, refusing to make eye contact. “Were you just...listening to us?”

Shannon opened his mouth to respond but nothing would come out. He was caught red handed. There was no use in lying now. So he just nodded. (Y/N) shuffled awkwardly. “How much did you hear?”

“Probably more than I should’ve.”

(Y/N) cringed. “So...you heard...”

Shannon nodded. (Y/N) groaned and buried her head in her hands.

“I kind of agree with Jared,” Shannon said. “I wish you had told me how you felt.”

(Y/N)’s head snapped up to look at him. Wait, no, it wasn’t just a look. It was a glare. “Really? You’re going to say that to me after you heard me say that you’ve been closed off to me lately? How am I supposed to think you’ll react to me telling you I have feelings for you when you barely even look at me anymore?”

“I haven’t been that bad.”

(Y/N) scoffed. “Yes you have, Shannon! The first day we met, that first conversation we had, you were so open and bubbly and excited. And then the next day you suddenly changed. Everything you said was short and to the point, you only hung around with Jared, if we were in a room alone together you could act like I don’t even exist. And now you’re sitting here and telling me that behavior should’ve pushed me to tell you I had feelings for you?”

Shannon knew she was right. He knew he had been acting different around her. He had been trying to push her away so that he didn’t get hurt when she inevitably started dating Jared. To think that this whole time, she had feelings for him and not his brother, just didn’t seem right to him. He almost thought that this was all a dream and he was about to wake up at any second.

“I’m sorry,” he said, his voice just nearly a whisper.

(Y/N) rolled her eyes and stood. “Yeah, whatever. I’m late to set.”

She tried to walk past him, but Shannon quickly grabbed her arm to stop her. “Wait, (Y/N). I’m serious, I am sorry.”

“That’s fine, Shannon. You can be sorry. But I don’t wanna stand here and talk about it anymore. I meant what I said to Jared, I don’t want to break my own heart. Let’s just leave it and pretend it didn’t happen and just...move on.”

She started to walk away again. Shannon called after her, “But what if I have feelings for you, too?”

She stopped and turned to look back at him. Her eyes were starting to water. “Don’t say that, Shannon, it’s not funny.”

“I’m not trying to be funny. I’m being serious.”

“If you have feelings for me, then why were you acting so cold towards me? Why didn’t you tell me how you felt?”

“Because I thought you liked Jared and I didn’t want to break my own heart either.”

The confession stunned (Y/N) into silence. She just stood there, looking at Shannon. It was his turn to fidget uncomfortably under her stare, wishing he could take the words back.

“Why would you think that?” she finally asked. Her voice had softened now and she was starting to approach him again.

“Because doesn’t everyone like Jared?” Shannon asked, a wry smile on his face. “He’s the actor, the lead singer, the heartthrob since he was young. Everyone loves Jared Leto, no one knows who Shannon Leto is. I’m always overlooked.”

(Y/N) walked up to Shannon and took his face in her hands. She made him look up at her and when his eyes met hers, she smiled at him.

“I’m sorry you’ve had to go through that,” she said. “But this isn’t one of those situations. I have feelings for you, Shannon, and only you. Jared is a friend and nothing more, and he’ll never be anything more to me. You’re the one I want to be with.”

Shannon couldn’t help but smile back at her. “Really?”

(Y/N) giggled. It was a beautiful sound. “Yes really. Did you not overhear everything I said to Jared earlier?”

Happiness and warmth flooded Shannon’s chest as he wrapped his arms around (Y/N) and leaned down to kiss her. They became lost in one another, completely forgetting the world around them. For all they knew, they were the only two people to exist. Just them and this kiss, the only things that mattered.

(Y/N) pulled away at the sound of her name being called. A crew member had been looking for her to tell her it was time to go to set. The two pulled away from one another, slightly flustered at being caught.

“I guess I have to go to work,” (Y/N) said.

“I guess I have to let you go to work,” Shannon said. (Y/N) giggled again and it made his heart feel light. “Are you going to be filming late tonight?”

“I don’t think so. I’m only needed for a few scenes today.”

“Okay, well, whenever you’re done today I want to take you out on a proper date.”

(Y/N)’s face brightened as she smiled from ear to ear. “I would love that. I’ll come find you whenever I’m done filming.”

“I’ll be waiting.”

Imagine being friends with Jared and Shannon and the both of them fall in love with you.

“Aaaaand that's it.” you breathed out, letting the drumsticks on the side turning to finally look at Shannon who seemed to have an awestruck face on “So?” you bit your lip “What do you think?” it had taken you a long while to learn the drums part of Up in the Air and when you got to learn it all you were really proud.

But you had lost all confidence when Shannon had asked you to show him. You really wanted to impress him, and messing up was just so easy you thought you were going to make a fool of yourself any given minute. He was the best drummer you'd ever known and when it came to this song you knew nobody could play the drums better than him. How were you ever going to impress him in the first place?

“Wow” he breathed out and you frowned “You- really you- wow.” was all he could breathe out as he ran a hand through his short hair. He just had to mess it up all the more and become even more cute than he already was.

“Is that a good wow or a bad wow?” you asked warily.

“Did you seriously learn it all by yourself?” he whispered and you bit your lip, nodding your head.

“Yeah, well I looked it up first. I can't really tell the diference yet but- I'm learning. I hope I just didn't mess it up that much.” you said with a small cringe.

“Are you kidding me?!” he breathed out, grinning widely at you. Before you had the chance to react or say anything a squeal left your lips as Shannon took hold of you and lifted you in the air and you wrapped your legs around his waist to steady yourself.

“Sha!” you screamed as his laughter warmed your heart when he spoon you around “Put me down!” you squeaked, your hands wrapped around his shoulders and your eyes shut as your were curled all over him.

“Shannon!” you screamed and giggled when he laughed. Before you could realize it you both fell on the couch that was nearby, you on top of him and his hands sill on your thighs; his thumb rubbing softly.

You huffed slightly, pushing your hair out of the way and looked down at Shannon, his big grin made your smile even wider. It was always contagious. The both of you were panting and before you could realize it he brought a hand up and cupped your cheek.

“So it was good?” you asked shyly and he chuckled warmly.

“Sweetheart you were amazing.” he breathed out with a grin and you bit your lip. You didn't even realize it when his hand that was on your thigh moved up, but weirdly enough (or maybe not so much) you didn't mind it.

“You think?” you whispered and he nodded his head, rubbing your cheek softly.

“So fucking amazing.” he breathed out in awe “I am so proud of you, princess.” he grinned and you bit your lip.

“Thank you Sha.” you said in a low voice, leaning down to kiss his cheek; your lips lingering there for a little longer than they should.

But when you pulled away it wasn't as far away as before. Your face was still close to his and your eyes were locked. You just loved his eyes so much. It was probably a Leto thing, because Jared's eyes would have you lost in them in a split second. Jared. The other man that occupied great part of your day just as Shannon was. They were brothers so they had many similarities but at the same time they were so different. Each of them made them special, and made them who they were... attracting you for all the right and wrong reasons.

For example: Jared's lips were slim but still were well-defined so that they fit perfectly with the angles of his jaw and cheekbones. Shannon on the other hand had fuller lips that looked equally soft and that complimented his own jaw that was more firm perfectly.

And one thing they had in common when it came to those lips: whenever you saw one of them bite them you just went weak on the knees.

A shaky breath left your lips and your eyes snapped up as you realized you had been staring at them for a good while. And it wasn't enough that he was biting his lower lip, but he now had that soft knowing smirk on them that just made your face heat up dangerously so.

“You are always so amazing.” he breathed out, rubbing your cheek as his hand moved to the back of your head “I can't believe you even exist.” he whispered in such a low voice it was barely audible, but it still made your heart skip a beat and your eyes drop for a moment.

He put two fingers under your chin and tilted your head up so that you'd look at him. He grinned softly at you and you frowned, feeling your cheeks burn. He parted his lips to tell you something but- he didn't have the chance to.

“What are you two doing?”

Well, crap.

Your heart leapt to your throat and you almost jumped as you hurried to get away from Shannon. You were sure the position you were in didn't look all that friendly. Not that lines when it came to your friendship with the Letos were anywhere near visible but lately- they really seemed to be getting blurry. For both of them. But no matter the case you were friends, that's what you told to other and that's what you told yourself every day, so being on top of him with your legs on each side of him, his one hand on your cheek and the other near your ass- Yeah, not friendly at all.

“Uh” you cleared your throat, pushing your hair back although it wasn't messy at all “I just- I showed Shannon that I learned to play Up in the Air on drums and-”

“Really?” Jared narrowed his eyes “It didn't look like that to me.” he pursed his lips in a thin line, and you could clearly tell he was already pissed off.

You tried so hard not to get distracted by how attractive he looked at that moment.

“Yeah, well after the drums she decided to play me but you got in and caught us.” Shannon chuckled, completely oblivious to why Jared was really bothered.

“Is that so?” Jared's eyebrows shot up as he looked at you with still a clenched jaw, his lips in a tight thin line.

“You got the worst timing bro but-” Shannon kissed your cheek “We'll continue this later, sweetheart.” he winked at you and you squeaked when he slapped your ass. It was his way of getting you to relax, especially when he could see you felt embarrassed.

“I'm gonna go make food, any preferations?” he asked and you shook your head, not trusting your own voice. He looked at Jared who didn't look at him, only kept his hard look on you.

“No, thanks.” he mumbled and although Shannon narrowed his eyes at him for a second he shook his head and left.

“So... continue this later? What was this exactly?” he asked you a little too harshly and you cleared your throat, tucking a few strands of hair behind your ear.

“Nothing just- he told you. I showed him what I learned on the drums, that's all.” you mumbled and he scoffed.

“Seriously (Y/n)?” he asked with a frown “I'd expect that from my brother but you-” he scoffed and shook his head.

You frowned, blinking rapidly and forgetting all embarrassment “What are you even talking about?” you got defensive.

“Nothing. Just- Nevermind.”he huffed, turning to leave.

“No, you're not going to imply things and then just leave.” you grabbed his arm and made him face you “What was it Jared?” you looked harshly at him.

He fumed as he looked at you, still obviously angry – and jealous although you couldn't see it – but at the same time... hurt and maybe disappointed?

“I-” he sighed running a hand down his face as he swallowed the lump in his throat.

“J” you whispered in a low voice, taking a step closer to him as he seemed relax a little bit “What is it? Did I- did I do something?” you mumbled and he looked in your eyes for a good while before shaking his head.

“No, no you didn't. It's not your fault, it has never been yours.” he whispered, cupping the other cheek that Shannon had not before “It's all mine.”

“Jared what-” you swallowed “What is going on?” you didn't know if you really wanted an answer to this question because of he did speak then everything would probably change.

“I-” he stopped himself and only wrapped his arms around. You didn't question him, you didn't ask a thing. It was probably better this way, it was better to pretend that nothing was going on. It was better to pretend that this was all in your messed up mind because your feelings were just as messed up. It was better to think that this... meant nothing to him. It was better to think that it had all been nothing, that it was always going to be a nothing to them.

Maybe this way, even if they meant everything to you, nobody would end up hurt. Nobody but you, but you were willing to take it. Because you loved them both just to much to even think their eyes that you adored would be filled with tears and their lips that you could stare at forever would never form into a smile again.

You let a shaky breath, shaking your head as you buried your face deeper in Jared's chest. You squeezed him and he tightened his grip on you. You breathed in his scent and let yourself relax for a split second. It felt so short of a hug when Jared pulled slightly away and cupped your face with both his hands. His eyes bore into yours before he leaned down and kissed your cheek. His lips lingered over your skin, making you shut your eyes for a second. HE rested his forehead against the side of your head as he kissed your temple softly.

“I need to ask you something. And I need you to be honest.” he whispered “Please.”

“What is it?” yu tilted your head to the side, pulling slightly away. He took a deep breath, his lips part as he stared at you for a while.

“Do you have feelings for him?” he whispered and your eyebrows shot.

“What? Who?” you blinked, having got caught off guard.

“My brother.” he swallowed thickly “Do you have feelings for Shannon, (Y/n)?” he asked, holding his breath as he waited for the answer.

And so did the older Leto.

Jared Leto 

Requested: 

Can you do a imagine /one shot of Jared Leto with a gif of a recent interview? I can send you some if you want 💗

Hope that’s what you wanted!

[calamiitywrites]

Imagine:

Having deep and intense conversations with Shannon all the time to the point where you’d consider him your best friend. So much so, that Jared often gets jealous of the two of you together and feels left out even when he’s in the room with the both of you. You never noticed before until one day you looked over to see him literally scolding you. Having the courage to finally get him alone, you confront him, only for him to tell you that he’s in love with you and you have to choose.

"B. NOT ONE person has ever filed a police report and claimed they were assaulted." This is not true. You are the "Detective", it's time to use Google search. So if you uses the words "Jared Leto+Tampa+police+Blind Gossip" and "Jared Leto+Shannon Leto+Prague+Blind Gossip" you will find evidence. The latter side (Blind Gossip) is owned by a lawyer.

What part of RUMORS are not evidence do you not understand?

Newsflash. Blind Gossip? It's a rumor site run by ENT Lawyer who is DEUXMOI'S buddy. If you follow ENT & Deux you would KNOW that everything reported to them is MERELY RUMOR and that there is no way to confirm ANY OF IT.

All of these accusations REMAIN SECOND HAND.

So, unless you can bring me a Police Report, MUG SHOTS, the guys in cuffs, or PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE that is clear and concise, don't bother replying.

This is really important to me because my “friend” really messed me up, and I really was considering not writing anymore so thank you guys <3333

This is chapter 3!

Read under the cut as well!

It was far too easy to slip out of the castle.

My feet thudded against the ground as I flew over the damp cobblestones. It had stopped raining, mercifully, but it was still dark. Perfect for a very illegal meeting. 

I pulled my hood low over my head, peering out at the empty courtyard. Wind rustled the trees bordering the stone square. Water rushed in the fountain basin, the only noise in the quiet. I crept along the edge of the courtyard and slipped through the shadowed greenery.

“Who are you looking for?”

I spun around, drawing my dagger. It was hard to keep a straight face as the boy smiled at me as his periwinkle eyes glowed in the dark. It was an unconscious move, our hands twisting into a handshake perfected over years of our friendship. 

He laughed quietly, punching my arm. “How are you?”

“Good.” It wasn’t a lie. “You?”

“Alright, I guess.” His eyes darkened slightly. “Rex didn’t make it.”

I couldn’t stop the gasp that escaped my throat. Rex, sweet Rex, was dead. Another body on the king’s head. I glared back at the castle, my hands shaking. “I’m so sorry, Dex.”

He shook his head. “You’re good. It wasn’t your fault.”

“It wasn’t, Miss Foster.” I hadn’t even noticed the tall man under the willow tree. He stepped out, his dark blue eyes filled with sorrow. I bit my lip, shaking my head. “You’re wrong, Leto. If I’d―”

“You can’t change the past, Sophie.” His voice was soft and caring. He patted my shoulder, looking up at the tall spires of the castle. “So?”

Metallic blood filled my mouth, my teeth cutting a tear in my lip. “Everything’s going fine. I can kill that so-called ‘king’ anytime, General. Just give me the word.”

“Not yet.” He sighed, leaning back against the tree. “Tiergan― that is, King Tiergan to you― doesn’t want you making any moves against Eternalia. And certainly not King Alden. It’s not the time.”

I could feel my blood boiling. He had killed so many of us, and our king wanted to spare him? “You― the king― sent me here, to Eternalia, to kill King Alden, and how he doesn’t want me to? Doesn’t he see what pain Eternalia has caused us? What they’ve done?” I spat out my words, each word coated in venomous rage.

Leto’s lips twitched into a smile, a rare sight for the old general. “You mistake Tiergan’s motives, Miss Foster. He wants you to wait, because he has a plan. However, it’s not time to act yet. Which means that you need to stay put and keep your head. I can already see you losing your cool. Control yourself.”

I glared at him, turning to Dex instead, his expression telling me that this was the first he’d heard of the change on plans as well. “You’re okay with this?”

“Absolutely not.” 

The words were surprisingly comforting, but I still wasn’t satisfied. “Why do we need to wait? I can finish this.”

“Because the king said so.” Leto replied calmly.

My jaw tightened.

Dex frowned slightly, kicking at the loose earth. “I think we should listen to him, Sophie. If anyone knows what they’re doing, it’s King Tiergan.”

“But―” I started, then bit down on my tongue. Dex was right. So was Leto, which I found rather hard to admit since I’ve been doing my best to annoy the stately general ever since the day he chose Dex and I to be his apprentices.

“So?” I sighed, turning back to him. “What does Tiergan have in mind?”

“King Tiergan, Miss Foster.” His dark eyes twinkled softly in the dark. “And he has a very interesting plan. I’m sure you’ve heard of the Winnowing Ball?”

I frowned and nodded. I had heard about it, actually. From what I’d caught from snippets of conversations, the ball was an annual event in Eternalia. The highest of highborns attend, with King Alden himself present. Basically every snobby person in the kingdom comes to compete on how high they could stick their noses in the air.

“That’s when we’ll attack.”

I blinked. “What?”

“That’s when we’ll― or you, I suppose― will kill the king. And others. Hopefully.” Leto repeated slowly. 

“But that’s… so simple.” Dex stammered slightly.

“Simple plans are often the best.”

I chewed the inside of my cheek, tapping my foot against the cobbles. Shadows shifted around the courtyard, clouds obscuring the bright glow of the moon. “Okay.”

“Okay?”

“Okay. I’ll wait until the ball.”

Wind rustled the bushes as Leto stared around the shadowy courtyard. “We should leave. I’ll send you more instructions soon.” He gaze fell onto me. “Remember, Miss Foster. We see. We listen. We hear. We serve the king. We are the King’s Blade.”

I shivered slightly, nodding. Dex offered me a slim grin as he pulled me into a tight hug. “See you soon, Soph.”

“Yeah.”

I was vaguely aware of watching their silhouettes slip through the streets, vaguely aware of running back to the castle and stealing back through the servants hall. Moonlight paled the deep red carpets and cast gorgeous coloured lights through the stained-glass windows. 

I hurried through the hall, my footsteps dulled against the carpets. My breath came out ragged as I skipped up the stairs, light on my feet. I frowned. Every hall looked the same. I frowned again and, and went right. 

“Your Majesty?”

King Alden looked haggard, dark circles around his eyes. Behind him the old wooden doors to the king’s rooms where slammed shut, small rays of light shining from under the door. Fitz looked just like his father, his own sleepless circles darker than the king’s. 

The king scowled slightly, looking me over. “What are you doing awake, little girl?”

I pursed my lips and dipped into a bow. He didn’t even remember me. I was just another servant to him. I gritted my teeth and straightened. “I was feeling a little under the weather, Your Majesty. I just slipped out for a breath of fresh air.”

The king nodded, his gaze gliding over me. He seemed distracted, almost. I shot a look at Fitz, who shook his head and held out his arm. “I’ll escort you back to your chambers, Miss.”

He nodded again and ran a hand down his face, watching as his son pulled me out of sight. 

“Fitz, what’s―”

He shook his head, dragging me down the hall. Cool wind hit my face as he pulled me outside, around the courtyard, behind the castle. Green vines were draped all over the ancient marble statues, flowers and ferns shooting out of cracks in the ivory stone.

“Where are we?” 

“Royal Gardens.”

I glanced at him, taking in his rumpled tunic and red face. “What’s wrong?”

“It’s― Nothing.”

“You can’t expect me to believe that.”

He bit his lip, looking back at the tall spires of the castle, the same way Leto had looked at them earlier that night. His eyes were filled with tears, dripping down his cheeks and onto his shirt. “My mom― The queen―”

I raised my eyebrow. I knew the Queen, if only from her brief meeting with my own king. “What about her?”

“She― She’s dying.”

“What?”

“In battle. The Battle of Oblivionmyre. She was stabbed―” His eyes sparkled with tears.

I remembered that battle. I didn’t fight, but I remember the cheers that echoed around the palace that night. But he couldn’t know that. He was his father’s son, and his father was a monster, and his father was the one who hurt my people. “What happen?”

Almost as if a switch had been flipped, the tears were gone from the young prince’s eyes. They blazed with anger, his fists clenched, knuckles white. “Them. It was them. King Tiergan’s soldiers. They did that to her. They’re monsters, and murders.”

Blood pounded through my head. “What?”

“They’re monsters.” He spat, glaring around the garden. “That’s all there is to it.”

I opened my mouth and closed it again. “I― I have to go.”

“No wait― Sorry.” Fitz ran a hand down his face, sitting on the marble ruins. “I just get so angry. They’ve hurt my kingdom so much. I hate it. I wish this war would just end.”

“Same.” My words were a whisper, gently carrying on the wind. 

Fitz smiled sadly, kicking around the pale stone debris. “And if this war doesn’t end soon then... I suppose,” He swallowed hard. “I’ll be king. And then, well I don’t know.”

He stared up towards the twinkling sky, sighing deeply. His eyes were pricked with tears again. “I don’t know whether she’ll survive.” He whispered. “But I don’t what I can do except end this war.”

We both watched the stars shimmer brightly against the dark night sky, the wind ruffling in our hair. After a few minutes, a creak of a door echoed through the night, accompanied by the soft sound of feet on grass. 

It took me a second to recognize the general from the day before, he was out of armour and wringing his hands as he held out his arm for the prince. “Your Highness, your father asked me to come get you. It’s late.” He smiled at me, if only a little sadly.

Fitz nodded and pulled himself to his feet. “Thank you General Ruwen. I’m so―”

“You have nothing to apologize for.” He assured him quietly. He dipped his head to me and gestured towards the castle. “If I could escort you back, Miss?”

I shook my head, gazing at Fitz. “I think I’ll stay out her a little while longer.”

Both men dipped their heads into polite bows, walking back to the shadowy palace. I watched them leave, brushing the dirt off my dress.

I thought the prince was different.

I thought that maybe, just maybe, he wouldn’t be as blind as the rest of his people.

My eyes narrowed as I watched soft candlelight go out in the castle windows.

Oh well.

Like father, like son.

A Man On Fire - Chapter 58

Just a few taps on her ass to indicate that he was done, groaning he slid out of her, slowly she turned around to face him, he looked pale and seemed to avoid her eyes, “just what I needed” she put her arms around him, hold me, just hold me, but his hands just rested on her back, there was no squeezing, in fact it was barely a touch. There was a faint smile before he let go of her and quickly turned to wash “something wrong?” come on, I need to know, “no..just..feeling a bit nauseous, let's just get ready, it'll get better after I had some breakfast”. Getting dressed she felt a knot in her stomach looking at him, he had hardly said a word and seemed jittery and nervous, this wasn't just a hangover, this was behavior that looked almost guilty, don't think about it, don't jump to conclusions, drink and drugs do strange things to a person. “Ok, ready, how do I look?” she tried to keep the huge scarf out of the zipper of her leather jacket, he turned like he hadn't expected her to even be there. God, she was too beautiful “like I don't deserve you” he whispered with a sad grin, “ok Leto, what the hell happened last night? Tell me, because I'm sick and tired of all your moping around, come on, it's alright”. His bloodshot eyes briefly locked with hers “nothing happened, I just can't seem to shake this hangover, I told you” there was an annoyed tone to his voice as he put on his jacket as well, “fine, alright, let's go get that breakfast then”. The lobby was practically empty as they walked to the revolving door in silence, she felt her heart jump when he finally grabbed her hand, hopping down the stairs “what a beautiful morning” the crisp air filled her lungs. “Yeah..” definitely not in the mood for talking, huh? Alright, let's respect his silence then, silence is important in a relationship too, yes it is! Both their noses and cheeks were pinkishly glowing as Jared stopped and held open the door of what looked like the fanciest breakfast place in town “after you”. Waiters in long aprons, the soft clang of cutlery against the fine porcelain plates, everyone staring at them as they walked in, ok so maybe they looked a little like out of place, one definitely did, looking like death warmed up and it wasn't her. “No, non abbiamo prenotato” she smiled at the waiter who asked them about reservations, he quickly looked around and gestured to follow him “un tavola privato”, he winked at her, that waiter was definitely a Mars fan, she could tell from the secretly admiring look he gave Jared. “Grazie” she smiled as he pulled back her chair for her and handed them a menu, “for the record, I think I maxed out my credit card last night” she bit her lip, trying to make him smile but he barely looked up from his menu and hummed “don't worry, I'll pay” before he turned his attention back to the list of all things delicous. Ok..right, she continued scanning the menu as well, it all looked so yummy but she just wasn't hungry anymore, that knot in her stomach made her appetite walk right out the door.

”Sorry..I have to take this one too” what was this? His tenth call or so? Sighing she pushed another piece of toast in her mouth, she had barely touched her food, just shoving it around her plate, dry toast seemed to be the only thing she could manage right now. Outside the morning traffic was jumping, a sharp contrast to the serenity inside, she tried not to focus on Jared pacing the sidewalk in front of the window, he looked clearly agitated, angry even. What the hell happened on their way to heaven? Oh come on, it was just temporary, there was a lot on his mind, every second of every hour of every day there was always someone who needed his opinion, advice, attention, just let it go, coffee, breakfast and a couple of aspirins and he would be good to go again. “Why don't you switch that off, they've had more than enough of you while I hardly had any” she hopefully smiled up at him as he came walking back in, he just sat down lost in thought until she put her hand over his “hey” and tried to get his attention. “You've hardly touched your food, eat up so we can get out of here” he dug up his wallet. He hadn't heard a word she said, fine whatever, you detach, I detach! She threw the piece of toast she was still holding back on the plate and threw her napkin on the table, done, she was so done with all this bullshit, so she stood up without a word, put on her jacket and scarf and didn't even wait for him to pay as she calmly exited the room but inside her blood was boiling. She stomped down the street, behind her footsteps came running in her direction “Harper” he caught up with her “why did you walk out like that?”, her eyes were blazing when they met his “oh now you remember who I am! What is going on Jared? Just tell me about what happened last night that got you so distant?��� she hissed at him. Oh god, let's not do this here  Harper, not now “nothing happened, it's just..” he looked at the peoply rushing by “listen, can we not do this here? I'm taking you back to the hotel” he grabbed her hand tight “I've got a lot to do today”.

Almost out of breath from practically being dragged back, she ended up in the hotel lobby by herself, “you go upstairs, I'll be right there” he breathed deep as he connected another call and disappeared with the phone glued to his ear again. In the elevator she couldn't hold back the tears any longer, things were seriously wrong, there was no denying it any longer, she quickly wiped them right before the door opened, knowing there was always someone present as most of the crew stayed on the same floor. “Harper” Shannon's voice greeted her, “oh..Shannon, hi” she turned, there was a twitch in his jaw she had never seen, like he was nervous seeing her “Jared not with you?” he breathed, “Uhm no..he had another phonecall..”. They were hovering around each other, it was clear there was more to say but they both desperately tried to keep it in “right..ok, I'll uhhm..go look for him then”, he was too nervous to not let it bother her. “Shannon..” she stopped him again, she had to know “uhm..what happened last night? I mean, you and I..we don't know each other that well, but I think you would tell me if something happened last night, right? I'm probably seeing things or I'm overreacting, but Jared just hasn't been himself since last night..he's distant and moody..I can hardly get a word out of him”. Harper couldn't help but notice the resemblance between the two brothers in the way Shannon shrugged and denied the same way Jared had done “nothing I can think of, he danced, he had fun, he's probably hung over, I'll admit it's been years since I've seen him drunk though..maybe he wanted to let his hair down for one of the last times..you know, him proposing to you” there was a strain to his wink. “Oh..yeah..that's probably it..thanks Shannon” she forced a smile and tried to brush her worries off, he nodded and then quickly turned and disappeared inside the elevator. Right, ok..she looked at her shoes, come on, it's nothing, you heard Shannon so stop overanalyzing, taking a deep breath she turned as well and headed for their room, it was times like these she missed having a real friend or family to talk to, the downside of keeping to herself all the time was kicking her in the ass, hard. “Jay” in the corner of his eye he saw his brother walk up to him as he disconnected the call, “I'm busy Shannon, what is it?” he so wasn't in the mood for this, or anything for that matter. “Has Shayla told you about the change of plans for check out? We're leaving an hour earlier,  and I'm gonna go straight to the venue when we get there, Jon wanted to test a few things with me” he pushed his hands deep in his pockets. “Yeah ok”, oh little brother you just can't hide anything from me, can you? “oh and I think you need to go play nice or come clean with your girl, because she's definitely suspecting something, that's for sure”. Jared's head shot up “what did you say to her?” he snapped, “calm down, I didn't tell her anything, I didn't have to..just go talk to her, that's all she wants” Shannon looked him straight in the eye without blinking.

He found her kneeling in front of a few bags gently packing up her brushes and oils, “need some help?”, his voice doomed up behind her, piercing her jumbled thoughts, “uh no, I've got this” she let her butt connect with her heels and looked up at him when his hand lightly brushed her hair. “You ok?” she whispered and tried to keep the mood light and suggestive “you know you look like you could do with an amazing blowjob, I'm already in the right position” she gave him a fat grin as she already reached for his belt and fly. Bingo! Finally a smile, come here big boy, let me blow your dick and your mind, all at the same time, a shiver went down his spine, no Harper, no baby don't..I don't deserve you..but then he disappeared inside of that warm, heavenly mouth and all of his objections went right out of the window. Her hands ran from his thighs up to his abs, squeezing his flesh, wet and sloppy noises rang in his ears and with the feel of her mouth on him..there was nothing else, he didn't know where they were, and it didn't even matter, they mattered, here in their own private universe. It wasn't long before he climaxed with a deep groan, but there was no caress, no time to reconnect, he mumbled something as he zipped up again and quickly fled to the bathroom, what the..?? don't doubt yourself, Coco, no don't do it, he's probably still not feeling too well. Sighing she got up off her knees and just when she wanted to follow him, there was a knock on the door, how awkward to let somebody in after what they had just done.

“Harper..hey..can I come in?” Sean already took a step forward so she had to let him in “you already are..What is it Sean?” Harper sighed. “Is Jared in? Because there's something I need to tell you..we really need to talk” he grabbed her shoulders, “yes he's in and why do you need to talk to my girlfriend? you were warned Sean, to stay the hell away from her” Jared came walking back out of the bathroom again alarmed by hearing Sean's voice. “So come on, what do you need to tell Coco so bad? Surely anything you can say to her, you can say to me” Jared calmly said, “I uhm..well I thought you weren't here, so I came over..to tell her that we're leaving earlier..everyone's ready, I just didn't know if she knew..that's all” Sean smiled confidently but the daggers in his eyes aimed at Jared were unmistakably there. “Oh she knows! We'll be right down” Jared walked towards the door and opened it for him again, Sean hesitated for a second as his eyes met hers, was that genuine concern she saw in them for the first time? “Ok..yeah..” Sean admitted defeat and walked out while Jared pushed the door shut with his foot. “Why do you let him in all the time? Still haven't had enough of him after everything he's done to you?” that was one nasty snarl which was completely uncalled for, “all the time? What are you suggesting?” she could hardly believe her ears. “I don't know, you heard him, he specifically asked if I wasn't here, I mean has this been happening a lot lately? Him showing up when I'm not around?” he shot back at her, this time with a lot more insinuation and force,  “huh? how was I even supposed to know that he was on the other side of the door? I'm not clearvoyant yet, Jared!” usually she wasn't lost for words, but right now she was. “I don't care, you're staying away from him, you're not sitting next to him on the bus or in a car, you block his number on your phone, I forbid you to even look at him, is that clear?” he yelled at her. “What? You forbid me?..” she instantly protested but he cut her off “Yes I do! You may be too naïve but I'm not, don't let me catch you two together, I'm deadly serious Harper, consider yourself warned” he grabbed his bag and his coat and let the door slam shut behind him.

[angelkurenai]

Imagine being in a relationship with Shannon and Jared having feelings for you.

“You'll all excuse me for a second-” you said breathlessly after you finished your first song with Jared, it was always such a pleasure to surprise the fans with you appearing on their concerts “I just need to greet my handsome drummer!” you said with a big grin as Jared let his hand fall from your side, you already making your way enthusiastically to his brother, not even missing a chance to break free from the younger Leto's arms.

He chuckled as he saw you giggle when the entire crowd went crazy. As much as it hurt he knew he had to force a smile on his lips. Not only because many people were watching him but also, and above all, because he had to be happy for his best friend and brother. Even if this relationship tore him apart on the inside.

“Don't you just love it when he plays the drums all sweaty and shirtless?” you said into the microphone, looking back at the crowd with a smirk and mostly the girls that were there went crazy; screaming and eliciting a blush from your boyfriend.

You giggled, turning to look at him nuzzling your nose with his as he grinned at you; already making your heart to flip flops. He didn't need to say a word to make you melt right into his arms. Said firm arms that he wrapped around you and pressed your body flushed to his, making you squeak and laugh like a teen girl. He chuckled as he pressed his lips to yours, making you still smile into the kiss that he had a hard time from deepening but still was enough to have the crowdscreaming for the two of you. You've been together for so long, you couldn't even remember, yet you had come out to the public for only a few months and he fans just didn't seem to get enough of it. Especially since you had been a great friend with Jared for quiet some time and starred in many movies with him.

Jared took a sip of his water, trying not to let it show how his face fell when he saw his brother kiss you with all the love he... so much wanted to shower you with. He set his bottle aside, only looking up for a second to see a serious look on Tomo's face. He tried to offer him a reassuring smile, he tried really he did, but the smile didn't reach his eyes and he knew Tomo could see right through him. Especially when it came to you, so instead he only shook his head at his friend and looked away.

How had all of this started he couldn't even remember. He had met you when in an interview on Ellen. You were there to sing and from the moment he heard you he knew he was swept away. When you'd later joined them he couldn't keep his eyes off you, but it wasn't just your voice or the looks that drew him in. The more he got to learn about you the more interested he got and he knew that he probably wasn't thinking straight but for some reason he didn't care.

He didn't miss the chance to talk to you once the interview was over – alright maybe it took him quiet a while preparing every possible conversation in his mind – but when in the very end he found the courage to speak to you he didn't regret it in the least bit. HE felt relaxed with you, the both of you fell into a comfortable conversation talking about anything and anyone. And as much as it surprised him, considering he was acting like a total shy teen in front of you, he had managed to ask you out. Time after time actually. From coffee, to dinner, to hiking and mountain climbing that as you told him you always wanted to try but were too scared. IT wasn't romantic, he hadn't made it that way and despite the small flirtycomments it as all the two of you hanging out. And that was all that mattered to Jared: to spend time with you. Being around you had become a daily thing, and something he sought after quiet often. So he did try it.

You'd even worked on a couple songs together, and were there to help him with getting into the role of the Joker when he needed you. It was easy to say that from the very first moments you spent together you weren't just his best friend... you were his soulmate. But up to then he had not made a real move, he couldn't believe it but even he felt intimidated to do something more. It was actually the first time he ever felt like that but maybe he realized it was because it was the first time he really felt this way for you.

But until then he didn't know one thing. One thing that would change everything and would probably make his entire world crumble down.

You had become so important to him that he couldn't imagine a life without you, so he decided to take it slow. He took it seriously, so he didn't flirt the way he usually did. Nor tried to win you the way he had done with numerous women before. It was all a slow burn and he wanted this to be perfect, he knew you deserved the best anyway.That plus- he was a little scared, maybe for the first time in his life but the prospect of losing you drove him insane.

If only he knew it had already happened.

He still remembered, he was at his mother's place waiting for Shannon and his girlfriend to come. He hadn't known of her existence for some time, Shannon kept it almost a secret even from him. Up to that day he didn't even have a name but as long as he knew that she made his brother happy it was enough for him. So he too was happy and content. He'd have asked you to be there with him, you had come that close, but you'd said you were busy. He didn't know what at first but the moment he opened the door and saw you there with his brother he realized exactly what.

“Jared” Tomo's voice was still heard, breaking the blue-eyed man from his trail of thoughts. He shook his head, not looking at him and preferring to look anywhere- but the oh so happy couple anyway.

“Hey kids-” he forced a smile on his lips “Either keep it PG rated or break apart, this is a concert you know.” he said through the microphone and you pulled away from your boyfriend who was chuckling at his brother's behavior.

“Look who's talking!” you exclaimed as you left Shannon and walked towards your best friend “Do you really want me to make a video of all the things you have done on stage that are not so PG rated?” you raised an eyebrow at him and he laughed, shaking his head.

“Don't think I'd want to see that no.”

“Oh of course you don't! Careful Leto, I am your best friend I know all of your dirty secrets, don't make me use them against you!” you grinned mischievously and he couldn't help the laugh as he threw an arm over your shoulders hugging you close to himself.

“I know I'm gonna regret it one day but I wouldn't have it any other way!” he kissed the top of your head as you giggled in his arms, wrapping your own around his waist. What a big lie that was.

“Yall I wish you could get yourself a Jared Leto, he's the bestest best friend anyone could ask for! Heck, I got to understand the definition of soulmate with this man!” you grinned and Jared's smile flattered for a moment. Because as much as he loved hearing it he still knew that you only meant it in a friendly way. There was no way you'd see him any different.

Or at least that's what he thought and knew.

“Aw baby that's so sweet-” he made a face, when he couldn't hide his emotions better turn it all into a joke “But not while my brother is here, maybe when it's the two of us.” he winked at you and you giggled, burying your face in his chest.

“Hey!” Shannon exclaimed behind the two of you, and later Jared huffed as the older Leto had thrown him a drumstick. You giggled and Jared let a soft laugh when he saw that luckily his brother had not realized a thing, much like everybody else and was also joking.

“Hands off lil bro!”

Jared chuckled, although this one was more forced “Shannon will probably fight me on this but- (Y/n)'s the best thing to happen to me. She is truly a blessing and I love this woman so fucking much.” he squeezed you in his arms as you gave him a big grin.

“Aw you know I love you too-” you pretended to cry “But come on, no more chick flicks!” you grinned as the crowd cheered “Let's continue this concert and give everyone the time of their lives!” you smiled widely and Jared couldn't help a smile as he kissed the top of your head, only one memory in his mind.

“You love him” he breathed out as the two of you sat on the living room but your eyes were on Shannon for some time.

Your head snapped to him, a shy smile on your face as you giggled and tucked a few strands of hair behind your ear the way you'd done the first time you two met.

“I-” you bit your lip “I really do, J. He's everything to me.” you said sincerely, pure love written all over your face as you talked about his brother.

Single Dad Jared Headcanons

1992-1999

- becoming a father was not something on jared’s to-do list, he was still 20 years old (she was born early in the year) but he thought everything would okay if he had the mother of the child on the parenthood journey with him

but everything wasn’t okay

the mother died shortly after delivery

he was heartbroken and now here he is, a 20 year old struggling actor, and now father to a newborn daughter

- plans of moving to new york are now shot as he has to take care of a baby

speaking of

instead he now travels between louisiana and california for auditions

relying on his mom and shannon to watch her while he’s away until he has enough money to rent an apartment so they could move there.

- jared gets work sometime in 1992 and he’s so happy he could cry. finally he has just enough money to get a babysitter and to fly shannon out to la

- he gets minor roles for about a year until my so called life

by now she’s two years old, and already in daycare

 the cast and crew always ask about her (let’s give her a name and call her kaela)

 which makes him to bring her to set sometimes

they all love her and fawn over her

 during his break he reads to her and watches sesame street with her

- by 1995, jared’s career is on full steam and he’s getting roles left and right, eventually landing a movie role.

which means more money coming in and he can finally afford a house 

 he can take kaela to toys r us and buy her plenty of barbie dolls and other stuff

- he finally feels like he’s able to give his daughter the life she deserves

- maybe this dad thing isn’t so hard after all, he’s managed for three years with no accidents

- until he has to leave to prepare and film for prefontaine 

shannon takes care of kaela while he’s away

 which isn’t so bad. he’s like a second father to her

but kaela still misses her father and is too young to understand why jared is away all the time

constance visits also; she misses her grandbaby

constance may or not be pressuring shannon about having kids of his own after he sees him drawing in chalk in the driveway one day

- jared and kaela preparing for “big girl school”

she loves picking out her backpack and lunch box

he knows that kaela only needs the 24 pack of crayola crayons but 64 pack WITH THE SHARPENER IN THE BACK is on the shelf above, so he gets the 64 pack

who wouldn’t want to be friends with the kid who has the 64 pack?

- jared being emotional as he drops her off

he obviously sticks out like a sore thumb

every father is either dressed in khakis or in expensive suits with shiny black shoes and gold watches with gelled back hair or clean haircuts

and here’s jared with his longish hair, wearing the t-shirt he wore to bed last night and ripped jeans. he can already tell he won’t have anything in common with any of the parents here

maybe private school wasn’t such a good idea, but it was the school closest to the house

- jared gets bored while kaela’s at school and he doesn’t know what to do with himself

the house is way too quiet

grocery shopping isn’t all that fun without her

neither is cleaning the house

he can’t even get through the day without her, how is he supposed to get through 12 YEARS?

- he gets used to it though when he hears kaela talking about her new friends during dinner

- second grade is easier as he has stuff to do for thirty seconds to mars

they have a routine going

although jared can’t drop her off anymore and kaela now has to take the school bus

he’s a little uncomfortable because now people other than his bandmates and family and friends know where he lives

 it also teaches kaela how to be a little more independent and also about time management, so a win-win.

2000-2010

- kaela’s growing up and she’s starting to form an identity outside of jared

she has her group of friends and interests

kaela is definitely a harry potter fan

jared takes her to see the movies

thirty seconds to mars is becoming more successful in the rock world

- kaela is literally growing up right in front of his eyes

she looks just like her mother

oh god, kaela needs a mother

is he ready to start dating again?

he can’t rely on his mom for everything

- kaela starts middle school and jared is FREAKING OUT

valentine’s day in middle school is his worst nightmare

why does she have so many cards from boys???

shannon, solon, and matt teasing him about it

him glaring at any boy who stares at her for too long

- at this point jared is dating cameron diaz 

when jared introduces them, kaela doesn’t know what to do

she’s happy for him, and she likes cam a lot but she’s so used to it just being the two of them it feels... odd

they do get along though

kaela being there for jared when he and cameron breaks up

- jared now considers middle school as a cake walk compared to high school

he has to restrain himself from choking fans his daughter’s age when they comment about her

 of course the media also notices how stunning the leto girl is becoming

even more valentine’s day cards from boys

yes, my daughter is very pretty now stop staring at her, boy in front of us in the trader joe’s checkout line

- just because jared’s easy going in his interviews doesn’t mean he’ll be easy going on the guy trying to take his daughter away from him

okay, maybe not take her away from him, more like date

 he’s definitely a chaperone on dates

if jared’s not available then shannon goes

- kaela having her first boyfriend is very emotional for jared

he’s jared’s worst nightmare, the stereotypical l.a. rich kid. seriously kaela, wtf are you thinking?

he’s lowkey manipulative af (let’s call him brandon)

like that time kaela got asked to promote a clothing line. jared was happy for her, brandon, not so much

thankfully kaela dumped him before senior year

- speaking of senior year

kaela is busier than ever. she’s filling out college applications and going to college interviews every time he turns around

jared doesn’t have to pay schools to get kaela a spot in school unlike certain celeb parents. kaela works for everything she has, thank you very much

- when graduation is around the corner, he’s an emotional wreck

invitations have been sent

kaela already has a school picked out, louisiana state university to be exact

it’s also closer to constance if she needs to get away sometimes

and also closer to her mom’s side (jared knows about kaela contacting relatives from her mom’s side, and he’s happy that his daughter is getting to know them)

- jared and shannon almost fighting other parents to get the perfect shots of their kids 

did i forget to mention that kaela’s valedictorian?

jared being so incredibly proud of his little girl who is not a little girl anymore

 hearing his daughter’s full name and seeing her walk across the stage brings him to tears

her mom would be so proud

he knows that kaela’ s going to be successful no matter what she chooses to do in life

present

- kaela is absolutely stunning; she’s in her 20s now and the media always do those transformation things complete with slideshows 

she chose a profession that she loves and is passionate about

jared, shannon, constance and everyone else are so proud of her

it requires her to travel A LOT so jared has a hard time keeping track but they talk/facetime every week

kaela being in the city of angels video and it also showed pictures and videos of her growing up 

kaela being best friends with chloe since jared introduced them

-kaela is also instagram goals

she’s friends with plenty of celebs and has a good following on social media

kaela still has her own life and career that’s not in the entertainment industry

but damn does she know how to take a good selfie

- kaela helping her uncle with his coffee company

she works pop up shops around the country if she’s able to do it

kaela and shannon are partners in crime

they also drum together too

shannon being a Proud Uncle

is this really the same kid who he used to push on the swing sets and watch disney movies with?

- no matter how old kaela gets, she’s always gonna be jared’s little girl. 

this was made with @echelongaga

TLC [Shannon Leto] -reupload-

A/N: just a quick one shot Plot: Vikki needs some TLC from Shannon after a concert. Pairing: Shannon Leto X Vikki Warnings: Smut. Language.

--- --- ---

I don’t remember much as I was pulled out from the crush of the crowd trying to get on stage for Closer to The Edge.  What I do remember is the sheer panic of not being able to move or even breathe as everyone pushed through.

The music and noise of the crowd faded together and my chest burns, feels tight; they tell me to take a slow deep breath but that doesn't happen and I black out.

I don't know the timescale that's passed when I open my eyes and find a worried Shannon laying beside me with his arm over my torso.  As I shuffle and look around Shannon jumps awake and pulls me gently towards him into a protective hug.

“I was so fucking worried.” He whispers against my ear.

“What… Happened?” I frown and rub the front of my neck; my throat feeling dry and tight.

“From what the security told me you got crushed when some asshats tried to rush the stage and you had a panic attack and fainted.  Luckily Reni was nearby and got word to our guys so we got you back to the hotel once we knew you were breathing okay.”

“My shoulder fucking hurts.” I wince and rub it carefully.

“It will be. It's pretty bruised so we think you got punched?” 

I nod and lean up carefully while Shannon passes me a cold bottle of water, sitting up with me.  “Thanks.” I sip it at first then realise how thirsty I am and drink down half the bottle before Shannon stops me.

“Hey, hey… careful.” He takes the bottle away and puts it on the side; before he turns back to face me I’m already in tears and starting to hyperventilate again, bringing back the feeling of being trapped.

Shannon has always been amazing with my anxiety and this time is no different as he pulls me to sit between his legs and holds my back against his chest, a hand on mine to help guide my breathing until it’s once again calm and there's only soft sobs and his even softer whispers in my ear.

“I’m… I'm sorry.” I sniff and squeeze my eyes tight shut; Shannon hushes me quietly and lays light kisses on my exposed neck and rapidly bruising shoulder.

“You have nothing to apologise for sweetheart.” I feel a shake of his head and a large hand stroking back my unruly hair as I relax against his torso. “How are you feeling? Honestly…?”

“Like an idiot… tired. Still… not right in myself, yet.” I shrug slightly and wince when my shoulder twitches.

“You're not an idiot babygirl.” That same hand that was stroking back my hair circles lightly over my injured shoulder as he tries to figure out exactly what I’d done to it. “You’ll be okay after a good night's sleep. I promise.”

“Don’t know if I’ll be able to.” I half laugh but he knows how serious I am; my mind was already going over the events that had led me to being injured and panicked and there was little that would stop them.

“Well then…” He thinks and tilts his head “I'll just have to give you a helping hand.” The words themselves seem unassuming but the way Shannon says them sends a shiver over my skin bringing up goosebumps.

“...Oh?” I blink a little; it's all I can manage at this point but I say a mental prayer that this 'helping hand’ includes one between my legs.

“Mhmm… you had a perfect view of my back didn't you babygirl?” More kisses over my skin.

“Yup.” I bite my lip as I answer.  Shannon knows very well what it does to me watching him drum from behind and that view has led to many a fun excursion at venues.

“And we didn't get to Christen the venue? Tsk!” I can practically hear his smirk as he speaks. “Well it's a good job we’ll be heading back there again, isn't it?”

I nod in response and try to turn my face to his so I can kiss his lips. My shoulder decides it won't let me do anything and I huff instead when the muscles pull tight and send a shooting pain down my arm.

Shannon moves and shuffles a little, twists himself to kiss me slowly before moving back to sit behind me and rest his hands on my thighs while he lays more light kisses across my shoulders and neck; he knows there are many ways to tease me and this is doing the trick - however with my shoulder injured in whatever way it is, I can't do anything to defend myself or tease him in return.

“Shanny…” I pout and whine his name.

“Vikki…” he mimics my tone perfectly. It’s infuriating and adorable all at the same time. Bastard.

I huff and shuffle myself against him hoping I’ll catch a seam of his bottoms just right; I don't and all Shannon does is chuckle at me.  

“Can I help?” He whispers close to my ear.

“You know damn well you can.” 

Shannon smiles and nods; his nose running up the side of my neck into my hair while his hands undo my jeans and push them down.  I shuffle myself and help to discard them onto the floor, careful not to jar my shoulder any further.

“Let me do all the work baby.” He kisses behind my ear and moves a hand to rest just inside the band of my panties; just to make sure he teases me fully in my state of complete helplessness. 

“Shannon…” I reach back my good arm and stroke his face lightly, feeling his lips press themselves to my palm.

“Okay, okay… no more teasing.” He mutters against my hand and moves his into my panties fully curling his fingers over my clit and circling slowly.  I gasp and lean my head back fully against Shannon’s shoulder; my hips rocking slowly to his fingers. 

He whispers sweet nothings and dirty everythings in my ear; just the right combination of both to have my panties soaked within seconds of them leaving his lips. Shannon’s talented fingers dip into me briefly before returning to my clit and varying pressure as they circle over me again; it doesn't take long before my body feels a different kind of ache inside it.  The kind of ache that's only going to get worse before it gets so fucking much better.

I'm squirming on the bed between his legs, somehow I'm not slipping and I'm hoping that I’m not doing any more damage to my shoulder but there's no way I'm about to tell him to stop.

Shannon hums low against my neck and speeds up his fingers against me switching direction and changing pressure as he carefully grips the inner thigh of my left leg.  “Feel good baby?”

“So good!” I moan and arch a little, tilting my hips.

“I want you to cum for me.” Shannon whispers and strokes his thumb over my inner thigh.

“Uh huh!” I pant and whine his name. “Me too!!”

He chuckles and his hand moves a little; I don't know if it’s the pressure change, the rhythm change, the direction change, all the above or something else entirely but that ache suddenly finds its release over Shannon's hand while I moan his name.

The fingers slow and their touch lightens to barely there as my pussy twitches & pulses with my orgasm. 

“Think you’ll be able to sleep now?” He whispers.

I nod, already drowsy and feeling more relaxed than I had been.
