Arman Morales x Reader pt. 6

Author’s note: I know this started as a headcanon, but by part 3 it turned into a fanfic, so I ran with it. Also I’m going to start adding a tag list, so if you want to be on it just message me :)

The first stop on the tour was The High Roller at The LINQ. The High Roller was a 550 feet tall Ferris wheel. “The best views in Vegas have been seen from here” Arman said, handing you a drink.

“Hold up, they let you take drinks on here?” You asked, pointing at the red cup in your hand. “Oh yeah, that’s why they have you go in the bar before you get on” he replied as he led you into the the compartment.

As you stepped inside, you realized that the compartment was air conditioned because you felt the cool air hit you as soon as you stepped through the door. It was a welcome relief because your cheeks were all ready starting to feel warm from the liquor.

Before you knew it the compartment started to take off. You walked over to the window and looked out at the view. Arman was right. This view was absolutely amazing.

“It’s beautiful isn’t it!” Arman asked, noticing your amazement.

“Beautiful doesn’t even begin to describe it. This is breathtaking” you replied, looking at Arman. You could see all of Vegas from here.

You were taking a picture of the view when you looked at Arman. You wanted to capture this moment with him, and this Jack and coke had you feeling a little bold.

“Arman do you wanna take a selfie?” You asked, pointing you your phone.

“Let’s do it” he answered.

You held your phone sideways as you and Arman turned your backs towards the compartment window. You felt Arman put his hand on your back as you laid your head on his shoulder.

Click, Click

You were going to take another picture when a woman’s offered to take your picture.

“Sure, thank you” you said, handing your phone to the woman.

This time, you leaned in more to Arman’s side as he put his arm around your waist. You looked at him the same way he always looked at you. Like he hung to moon. That was when the woman took the picture.

“Here you go” she said, handing you back your phone. “Thank you” you said, looking at the picture.

“You two make a cute couple” the woman said as she went back to her group of friends. Your cheeks went red. Looking at the picture again, you and Arman did make a cute couple. You’d be lying to yourself if you said you didn’t want him that way, but you’d never been in a relationship before. He’s seen the scars on your arms and leg, but he hasn’t seen the other ones. How would he react?

As The High Roller came back around to the entrance, you and Arman got off. “What’s next?” you asked, looking at Arman. “Next, the Las Vegas Strip Walking Tour” he said.

5 minutes later

The walking tour started at The Wynn Las Vegas Casino, where you took in the sights of beautiful cascading waterfalls, fountains, and probably the best flower display you’d ever seen. The tour only got better from there.

You saw the Palazzo Resort Casino, The Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian Resort where you saw hand painted Italian frescoes, Venetian architecture and a hidden lobby. You passed by the Casino Royale, the Piano Bar at Harrah’s.

At one point you stopped noticing the sights and started to think about Arman. He knew most of what there was to know about you, but you knew nothing about him. You knew he was with Tarik that night at the fight, but what you didn’t know was why.

“Arman, that night at the underground fight, why were you with Tarik Barsemian?” you asked, looking up at him. He lt out a small chuckle. “I was wondering when you were going to ask about that. I work for Tarik’s father, Hayak. I started working for him a way to pay off my father’s debts to him, and I’ve been working him for him ever since.” he answered.

“Are his debts payed off?” you asked, looking at The LINQ Casino as it passed by. “His debts have long been payed off. I guess once I started working for him, I knew I could never go back to the person that I was, so I embraced the person that I’d become.” he answered as he shrugged his shoulders.

You knew what that was like. You tried so hard to be the person you were before the training and the experiments, but you couldn’t. So you started accepting it. Slowly you started to come to terms with who you were now.

“I know what that feels like” you said, taking ahold of his hand. He looked at your hand in his, then at you. There it was. That feeling again. He must be feeling it too you thought.

When the walking tour was over, Arman ordered an Uber that took you to this place called Charlie’s Bar and Grill. As you were pulling up, someone came out of the bar with a bag in their hand and handed it to Arman through the window.

“Takeout?” you asked, motioning at the bag.

“Yeah, well I figured probably weren’t ready to go home, so I ordered takeout. Is that okay?” he asked, holding up the bag.

“That’s… that’s more than okay, and, thank you.” you said. “For what?” he asked as he tilted his head to look at you. “For reacting the way you did. Most people, after seeing what I showed you, would run for the hills. But not you. You… held me. You comforted me. You brought me into your home. You held me as I slept. You didn’t have to do that, but you did. So, yeah, thank you.” you said, taking his hand in yours.

Arman looked at you, but this time it was different. He bought your hand up to his face. As you ran your hand across his cheek, you saw a tear coming from his eye. You wiped it away away and looked at him as he traced the scar on your cheek.

That’s when the Uber pulled up to the casino. You and Arman went straight to the elevator, and pushed the button to go up. When it got to the penthouse, he took your hand and led you inside.

He was putting the food on the table, trying to ignore the moment you just had in the Uber. You walked over to him and took his hand again, bring it up to your face, to the scar that not even 2 minutes ago he reached with his finger. He used his other hand to cup the other side of your face. There was that feeling again, but it was different now. It was stronger. At the same time, you were hearing two voices in your head: one telling you don’t do this and one telling to go for it. Then you heard another voice, but this time it was your own: Go for it.

You stood up on your tippy toes and kissed him on the lips, as if to test the waters. Once he had a taste, he was hooked.

He hoisted you up in his arms as if you weighed nothing at all, and kissed you again, this time with passion. You wrapped your legs around his waist. He set you into the table and slid your jeans to floor. Then you were in his arms again.

You don’t know how you managed to make it to the bedroom, but when you did you stood up and started to lift up shirt when Arman took hold of your wrist. “You don’t have too” he said. “I know, but I want to” you replied back as you took your shirt completely off.

Arman put his arms around your waist and brought you close to him. You watched as kissed and traced every scar.

“I need you… now” you said in between breaths. That was all he needed to hear. You unhooked your bra as he slid you black lace underwear down your legs. In one swift movement, he laid on the bed.

He lifted your legs up and buried his head between your legs. You curled your toes and gripped the sheets with everything flick of his tounge. Oh Shit, this feels so fucking good you thought as you ran your hands through his hair.

You felt him kissing your inner thigh again, then your scars, then you. You let out a small moan as you tasted yourself on his lips. You held his face in your hands for a moment. You wanted this. You wanted him. This beautiful man that was right here before your very eyes. “Are you sure you want to do this, because we don’t have to. I can stop just say the word” he said, caressing your face in his hand.

You didn’t even give it a second thought. “Yes”

so first of all i need to tell you that i love your writing, you're one of my favorite writers in the fandom and TCL is one of my favorite fics of all time. thank you for being so great <3 also i was wondering if you have a headcanon of harry proposing to draco or vice versa? i feel like he'd want to plan something big but then end up doing it very privately and intimately in their flat :") also i imagine harry taking ron with him to pick out rings and the two of them just being totally lost lol

thank u a million times sweet pea that means so much when this fandom is so huge and filled with such incredible talent ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I actually feel like Harry would struggle w proposing a bit, bc part of him is extremely private and doesn’t like attention on his personal life and I think he seems like the sort of person who would value one on one intimacy without involving other people in something so important; on the other hand, Harry doesn’t seem to have any problem kissing Ginny in the middle of the crowded common room in hbp and I even think?? He maybe likes it a little bit? Everyone there and seeing?? And then also I DEFINITELY think draco would like smth a bit more extravagant so yeah I think Harry would have a hard time figuring out how he wants to do it. Love the hc of Ron and Harry going to look for rings 🥺🥺🥺 very soft and accurate

I think ur def onto smth with Harry like making all these plans for smth big that Draco would like, maybe asking hermione and Pansy for help, deciding if he should do it over dinner or at a quidditch match or a party etc and just absolutely drive himself insane over it until one night they’re like idk watching a movie and cuddled up and Harry’s heart is just rly happy and full and Draco smells good and he’s been carrying the ring around in his pocket, just in case and bc he likes feeling it there, and he just. Does it!!! Heart racing!! Palms sweaty (mom’s spaghetti) Just pulls it out and pushes it into a very startled Draco’s hand who’s like “what....?” and Harry’s just “will u uhhhh marry me lol” and is instantly transported back to 14 and asking cho to the Yule ball ndwbkckwfn gets all blushy and ptsd abt the rejection but then Draco obviously puts the ring on and is just 🥺🥺🥺🥺 “yeah”

#answered #hmmmmm made myself a bit emo 🖤

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ hello pls talk to me about your fic

congratulations holly you’re the lucky winner of QUENTIN AND JULIA’S SPRING BREAK LOS ANGELES ITINERARY

originally my intention was to write a flashback in each section of a string that pulled me (quentin flashing back to eliot in the bar, eliot flashing back to new haven, then quentin flashing back to the los angeles spring break trip) but i couldn’t incorporate it in a way that read honestly (i described it to @hoko-onchi-writes as “too cxgf butter commercial”). unfortunately i had already spent like an hour on discord with @seserakh and @luzial planning all the places quentin and julia might go, as massive super nerds and also embarrassing tourists. the itinerary was:

the wizarding world of harry potter at universal studios hollywood - as mentioned towards the end, this was quentin’s primary point of argument for going to los angeles, and julia’s primary point of argument against because really, florida is so much closer. plus i think orlando’s wizarding world is more extensive? i’ve never been to the one in hollywood.

disneyland, but only the star wars parts - unfortunately for quentin, this trip takes place in spring 2018 and galaxy’s edge didn’t open until 2019, so the extent of “the star wars parts” is the revamped star tours and whatever else they might’ve had in tomorrowland. quentin and julia definitely tried to peek around the barriers to see galaxy’s edge mid-construction.

grauman’s chinese theatre - technically currently the tcl chinese theatre, but i figured no one would know what i was talking about if i used that name (i had a line where eliot called it that, but cut it because eliot’s not the insufferable pedant). in my rich fiction of quentin begging julia to do this wholly impractical trip with him, he casts around for attractions that don’t exist elsewhere and comes up with grauman’s, “you know, from that scene in iron man 3?” to which julia says “you didn’t even like iron man 3,” to which quentin replies “i just think it’s bullshit that pepper didn’t get to keep her superpowers” because quentin is me. julia is the one who decided to integrate quentin’s suggestion into a full overpriced hollywood landmark tour.

black rabbit rose - quentin absolutely had his sights set on visiting the magic castle, but it’s an exclusive invite-only affair (and, in the context of the magicians, almost certainly for Actual Real Magicians Only), so black rabbit rose is the next best thing: a lounge with live magic shows. (are the performers at black rabbit rose also Actual Real Magicians? probably)

button mash barcade - i figure that julia found this in a google search for fun nerdy bars/restaurants, because naturally quentin wouldn’t think to plan for food.

time travel mart - i included this in the list because i want to fucking go there!!!!

Sorry but what is TCL?

hello anon! i hope you’re prepared to fall down a rabbit hole here because it’s probably one of my favourite concepts that my brain has concocted.

so, over on my second blog around three months ago now, i started talking about something that i refer to as “the cunty line” or tcl for short. this is a group of female idols that i believe have a cunty aura about them or have so much confidence within themselves that when you watch them perform, speak or do literally anything, you yourself end up feeling confident too.

in fact, i stated that everyone should have at least one idol that they stan who serves cunty because well, confidence is important, you know?

i will be eventually somehow turning this concept into something writing wise whether it be fics that tie in together or headcanons, i just haven’t figured it out fully yet.

the original idol i mentioned was krystal jung because for me, when i watch any f(x) performance, i naturally gravitate toward paying attention to krystal first and then the rest of the group. she has such a powerful stage presence and confidence about her that i would describe as being cunty.

it isn’t a negative connotation whatsoever, it’s just that they have an aura around them.

other idols who i have since stated are part of the cunty line are snsd’s yuri, red velvet’s joy, twice’s sana, blackpink’s jennie, loona’s yves, lovelyz mijoo and sunmi.

all of these are in there for their own reasons and i’ll gladly explain it to you if you’re curious as to why.

there are also honorable mentions such as hyuna, jessi, irene, jessica, kim lip etc. but i tried to limit it to one member per group or keep it to people i am familiar with due to the fact that i plan to write about it somehow.

there could be more added to it in future from other groups, i’d just need to figure out if any would actually fit the description.

so there you go, that’s what tcl is. i hope this helped you lol.

#anon

Fiona had been staring at his shoulder, not able to quite meet his eyes as Thony did, but the prolonged silence had him saying, "well, I'll go."

Yup, he definitely wanted to stay.

Should she invite him in?

He started to turn away, but her resigned sigh stopped him.

"Come in," she said.

TCL 2x11 recap

Ok so in honour of the S3 renewal (!!!! shut up I’m not crying YOU’RE crying aaaaaaahhhh!!!) here are a few very very belated TCL thoughts… and of course, many many many more thoughts still to come for 2x12 lol

So I am already immediately needing to know how much time has passed between last ep and this one lol. Maybe a few days? I mean Luca is looking so much better, and he’s so excited to see Fi and his cousins. (Lol at the fact Marco doesn't even get mentioned, even though he only died like 2 months ago. Like yaasss everybody, Marco who???). Also I really like the way Thony asks “JD let you come?”, bc it’s not judgmental or snarky, it’s more acknowledging the difficult position Fi is in and her gratitude that she came. Also oooh we are definitely back in Vegas for the filming now– this is filmed at Adventuredome in LV. But ugh Thony going from smiling at Luca’s excitement to spotting Joseph :( poor woman just can’t even get 5 minutes of simple happiness before something drags her back down again. (Also I assume she still has her big bald shadow following her around and so that’s how Joseph knew where to find her?)

Oooh Nadia definitely still has her shadow. And damn she’s in the fanciest of prisons rn, stuck in RK’s penthouse. Since this phone conversation is apparently the first time she and Arman have talked since she poisoned RK, and Arman isn’t looking completely panicked about where she's been, then I’m guessing not too much time could have passed since then– maybe it really has only been a few days? Also I really wanna know how much Arman was able to find out about what happened to RK? Like did he finally hurry into Fast Lane after his little excursion with Garrett, frantically looking around to see if Nadia might still be there, only to find all the staff gossiping about how the boss was taken to hospital and how Ms Morales went with him??? And then he tries to call her but can’t get through– so what did he do?? Did he text her and risk it being seen by RK, or did he just go home and sit there waiting by his phone? Also ugh I wish we got to see his reaction to her saying that Thony saved RK, bc yasss to that drama lol. And ugh yes to Nadia referring to Thony as ‘your cleaning lady’ again. Idc that Nadia means it in a negative way, it’s still implying a connection between Armony and that’s what I’m all about lol. Anyway I did like that Arman was immediately down to rescue Nadia though. Oh my sweet brave yet somewhat stupid boy lol. Also goddammit I really gotta learn spanish bc while I very much respect them not using subtitles a lot of the time, I still always wanna know everything that's being said lol

Haha RK is Big Mad about his heart attack. “I had a full physical just a few months ago, there was nothing that indicated any issue with my heart” ok well I mean a ‘physical’ is a pretty basic check, so unless the doctor randomly decided to arrange an angiogram (a surgical procedure which is not done on people who don’t have symptoms), then there’s no way they could have definitively known the heart was fine… so maybe calm down a bit there buddy? Also again, we saw last ep that you’re on blood thinners, so there is definitely something wrong somewhere. But lol the hot doctor guy saying “high potassium can cause hyperkalaemia” is so funny because hyperkalaemia is literally just the technical term for high potassium. But props to him for telling RK it could have been caused by stress lol– you’re a brave and potentially foolish man, Doc. Also loooolllll RK pouting in the bed like a petulant child and Nadia basically telling him to grow up. Poor woman is already a prisoner and now she has to deal with this giant baby too?? Now this is real torture

Oh the penthouse is at Caesar’s Palace?? Daaaamn, that’s gotta be pricey. (Also sigh, looks like I’m gonna need to make another trip to Vegas this year to see these new locations haha). But oooohh at the meaningful eye contact between Nadia and Thony as Nadia hands her the medical file. Also he asks Thony her opinion within literally like 10 seconds of her opening the file– like give her a minute to actually read it before she gives her answer, maybe?? But oh man the tightrope she walks when she says that it could have been a drug interaction, but then follows it by saying there’s nothing in the report that indicates that that’s the case. And then ugh she immediately tries yet again to talk him into letting her and Arman handle the medication shipment. And when he tells her that the shipment has gone missing and his men are currently investigating to find out who is to blame? There’s no question for her that it was Arman, and ugh she’s trying so hard to keep her face neutral and not let the dread and anger and fear show. Because by stealing that shipment, Arman has put two of the people she loves most at risk: Luca, and himself. And even worse, she knows that in a way it’s her fault, because he did it for her. this is true love right here bitches

But ugh Nadia and Thony walking out together, and Thony’s grim expression, clearly hating that she had to tell the truth about the drug interaction because it was all a test– one that she needed to pass for the safety of her whole family– versus the fear in Nadia’s eyes and the cuttting edge to her voice as she tells Thony to tell Arman that she sold them both out?? And then the total tone change as she graciously thanks her for coming? Damn the relationship between these two is so engrossing, especially because as much as they are at odds, they do often have a lot of empathy towards one another and help each other out even when you might not expect them to. S3 please give me all the Thony and Nadia team ups please

Ooooh Garrett that was actually pretty smooth? Lucky no one was in the toilets though lol. Fair enough for him to be pretty pissed with her– she lied to him about Maya, and now she is being driven around by RK’s guys? It doesn’t look great. And aaaahh I have been waiting for this confrontation scene since the moment Maya died, and tbh Oliver is doing a great job with expressing the hurt and anger and betrayal. And man the way Thony’s voice is so small as she tells him she’s sorry? And his “Or have you gotten so good at lying and covering up the truth that you don’t even recognise it?” like oooohhhh what a blow, and what an insightful statement. Honestly Thony needs someone to call her out like this, to make her see the path she is headed down and the ways that she has already changed. Not that I don’t want her to continue on this path haha, because getting to watch Mob Boss Thony is definitely the absolute dream (heck yeah bring on S3), but I want her to be a badass boss without losing her humanity. But tbh I love the fact that the moment she gets the call that Luca is at the hospital, it’s like the fight is immediately put on hold because it’s just understood that Luca comes before anything else.

Seriously though, Fi took him to a public hospital???? The woman who tried to stop Thony from doing the same thing in 1x02 because she was so scared she’d be deported??? Like if there was no other option, sure, but Fi literally has Dr Saroyan’s number (Thony gave it to her when she went to The Philippines) and she knows that Luca has been taken to Dr Saroyan’s clinic before? Why would she not try that first????????? Like ok tbh I would have been fine with it if there was even just a quick little throwaway line like “I tried calling Dr Saroyan but his receptionist said he’s away in Boston for a week” so it covered that plot hole. But whatevs, we need the drama I guess lol. But ugh honestly Jazz makes such a good suggestion about calling JD to take Luca inside instead– like even if he will take a little bit to get there, he could switch out with Fi so she’s not at any more risk than she needs to be? Ugh this is so dumb I don't need this stress in my life

“My nephew has a high fever and he started throwing up about an hour ago” wait are you kidding me???? that’s all you’re going to say, Fi??? That makes it sound like simple gastroenteritis. You gotta lead with the fact that this is an immunocompromised child like 2 months post liver transplant?? Oh my god. Tbh I hate this scene for multiple reasons, partly because of the above, but also partly because of how uncomfortable it feels with the guards staring at her (though that's obviously the point), and also because it’s just a reminder of how terrible the US healthcare system is (which lbr is probably also the point). But ugh even this really lovely Filipina nurse is making me afraid that it’s all actually a trap and ICE is already on their way ughhhh I hate this

“I’m not hungry!” yep RK is definitely a child lol. But oh shit the backstory about his dad dying from a heart attack at 45 and then RK taking every possible precaution to avoid the same– like hell okay maybe he actually did get himself an angiogram and all the other fancy cardiac testing?? lol. In which case Nadia is really in trouble haha. When he had Joseph pour her the champagne (the same one she poisoned him with, naturally) I was so terrified for her ugh. Ngl I was unhappy about her throwing suspicion onto Thony about the shipment, but I mean it was pretty understandable— especially bc she felt that Thony had betrayed her first, and also tbh there was no other possible scapegoat for it except for herself or Arman. But ugh her shiny eyes as RK walks away, knowing that she is walking such a knife’s edge with him and that he might snap at any moment? Ugh my girl. Plus honestly I’d definitely like to think that she also felt at least a little bad about the fact that she may have just gotten Thony killed– if circumstances were different, I honestly think these women could actually have been something almost like friends ugh

Ugh okay now Thony has arrived at the ER and finally someone is being made aware of Luca’s history and the urgency of the situation!! Also damn she’s impressively persuasive given she manages to get that lady to call a code… this is making me want to fish out my old hospital ID to see whether we had a code white lol. It definitely didn't mean ‘medical emergency’ though, because naturally that one I did know, having responded to them often enough lol

Also lol I just noticed that there’s a pamphlet saying ‘stem cell therapy saves lives’ on it at the desk, and it has the initials/logo of the Institute of Stem Cell Medicine (the place where she took Luca in early S1) on it!! Like it’s probable that they were just recycling medical props from last season but I love this little easter egg omg

Ugghhhh I am still so uncomfortable about these guys being at this hospital at all. Like I get that it’s for plot reasons, creating the whole ‘what if we get noticed and deported’ tension, but it’s just so frustrating that everyone has forgotten about Dr Saroyan!! Like c'mon guys. Plus I just miss him lol, he was so softspoken and pretty. Though tbh this Dr Gonzalez is quite pretty too. In fact, pretty much every doctor that has appeared in this show has been rather attractive– seriously where were all these beautiful people during my training??? at acting school obviously lol

OOOH. Thony just said that Luca is 10 weeks post-transplant! Excellent, I’ve been meaning to put together a timeline of the TCL events, considering that the entire show literally happens over the course of like 4 months. So Luca was a week postop when he and Thony came back from Mexico (1x09) and then Marco kidnapped him like another week later (end of 1x10/start of 2x01), so looks like S2 has happened over the course of about 8 weeks. Which tbh actually seems a little long to be accurate, given that several of the eps happen literally the day after the previous ep’s events, but it could potentially work. Guess I’ll find out when I actually put the timeline together lol

Anyway is it weird that I felt proud when Dr Gonzalez said that (from the scans, I assume) Luca’s graft looks extremely clean and that a surgical complication definitely wasn’t the cause for his current condition? Like ugh damn straight my girl Thony did an incredible job on the surgery. And what a relief it must be for her to hear that she didn’t cause this, because you know that's been her greatest fear ever since she realised she was going to have to do the surgery in the first place

Stepping into the chapel to call her married(ish?) criminal boyfriend? I love it. Blaspheme away, girl, I support you wholeheartedly. I also love that she knows he was the one who took the shipment, knows he did this for her, to prove to her he meant it when he said he wouldn’t let his plan to kill Kamdar endanger Luca. But of course now that plan (along with Thony’s thwarting of it) has endangered all of them lol. Oops. Also dude I had been wondering why this ep hadn’t quite been doing it for me thus far (like of course I’m enjoying it, but just not as much as other eps) and I mean part of it is definitely the focus on Robert and also the borderline insanity of bringing Luca to this hospital, but mostly it’s because I’ve been like EXCUSE ME. WHERE IS MY BOY. WHERE IS MY PRECIOUS MURDER CUPCAKE. WHERE. Like seriously up until this point we have gotten a total of like 20 seconds of Arman onscreen and that is simply not enough for me to survive on lol. But ugh finally we are getting some good fucking food, as Gordon Ramsay would say, bc fuck yes to this entire phone exchange– Arman clearly angry and upset that she didn’t trust him enough to follow his plan (you just know he’s thinking back to their plan in 1x10 and how she trusted him then, but has since seemingly turned her back on him; dw so much more will be said on that in the next recap lol), then there’s Thony acknowledging that she made a mistake/that her choice endangered them all (aka maybe that she doesn’t always know better than everyone), and then there’s the way that all the fire immediately goes out of Arman the moment he hears how sick Luca has gotten. Ngl even though the ‘my son is dying!’ thing is getting a liiiiittle bit stale (I mean to be fair though, it is realistic for how a parent with a dying/chronically ill child would be), I do love that the two powerful men in Thony’s life will immediately put aside their own frustrations and agendas for Luca. (and, of course, for Thony herself)

“We’ll get those meds, but after that we’re done.” Honestly, I love this line, because you just know it’s not true; literally the emptiest threat my boy has ever made haha. But it’s important for it to be said anyway– considering that Arman has already established to Thony through both words and actions that he will do pretty much anything for her, the act of telling her that they’re done is one of the only ways he can express to her how much she has hurt him without literally saying those exact words aloud. (It’s probably also partly habit from his fights with Nadia, too; I don't doubt they've both threatened each other with divorce multiple times lol, which is extra funny now we know they were never married in the first place). But anyway lbr here, he’s never going to follow through on this threat with Thony, just like he didn’t in 2x05 after he said it the first time. But the point is that there’s still just enough uncertainty there– the possibility that maybe this time he really does mean it– that it kinda forces Thony to examine her choices and face the idea that unless she trusts him and lets him be her equal partner in this, she might lose him. But ugghhh at him immediately grabbing all the money he has left in the world and coming out of hiding to help her save Luca. Just like she knew he would, before he even answered the phone– because like she told Fi: he always shows up when she needs him.

Also, catch me screaming over the fact that the man has no reason to have her motorbike helmet with him, but does anyway??? Like last we saw him, he was at La Habana on the phone with Nadia, finding out about Kamdar, and presumably he went right home and got the essentials to take into hiding– which apparently includes Thony’s motorbike helmet. Y’know, just in case she called, needing him. I’m so fine and normal about this I swear

Actually you know what, I'm not fine at all, because we were absolutely robbed of the scene where she manages to sneak out the back of the hospital and he pulls up to get her and just silently holds out the helmet, and then on the ride it really hits her that maybe he will walk away after all this and that it will be all her fault, and between that terrible feeling of dread and her overwhelming fear for Luca she starts to cry silently, her arms clinging to him tighter than usual because she’s so terrified she’s about to lose two of the people she loves most, and then at one point they’re stopped at a traffic light and he covers one of her hands with his and squeezes, like he can sense that she’s barely keeping herself together, and she cries harder because if she still has him then maybe it will all be okay, maybe they will get the meds and get back to Luca in time and maybe she can stop trying to carry all this weight on her own and–

But anyhow, I digress lol. I love that Arman steps straight into the office and barely spares the guy a glance as he grabs the bolt cutters and the paper with the container number on it. Man is on a mission to save his future stepson lol, and god help anyone who gets in his way. And ugh I just love everything about his and Thony’s teamwork– she finds the container and he comes running with the bolt cutters; he starts cutting the inventory lists free and handing them off to her, letting her guide him to the right spot. They just work so naturally together without needing to discuss it and idk man I am just very into everything they do together lol (and boy i would sure love for them to do some ~other~ stuff together lol)

God the look of terror on her face when they hear the cars screech into the shipping yard, and the way he whispers a reassurance to her and touches her arm for just a second as he passes? And then he peeks around the corner and sees several of Kamdar’s men being pointed their way (damn that little rat bastard for selling them out) and ugh I want to hug him because he knows how bad these odds are, knows that he might be about to die right now but that doesn’t matter, all that matters is keeping them from getting to Thony. Like ughhhhhh “I’ll do what I can to hold them off” and then him locking her inside the container?? He knows she has her phone, knows that even if he dies taking all the men out then she will still be able to call for help, so he takes every measure he can to keep her safe and give her the best chance of survival. I also stupidly love that it’s his knife that she’s using to cut out and search the inventory lists, and his knife that is her only weapon/defense. Just another way he protects her ugh

Though lol at him choking the guy out in like 5 seconds while the guy doesn’t even fight it. Kamdar would be embarrassed to be associated with such a pathetic goon lol. Ngl tho I very much enjoy watching Arman getting beaten up and thrown into objects and still getting up and keeping fighting because this is a fight he simply cannot afford to lose ugh

Okay these writers definitely do not know how to write delirious kids lol, but I forgive them. However I don’t forgive the nurse guy who Fi goes to for help, considering he glances at the monitor for half a second and then says Luca is probably just tired. Like seriously how did this guy get through nursing school? And then lol the next minute Luca has a tiny bit of a nosebleed (not even actively dripping) and Dr Gonzalez gets someone running in with a procedure cart to shove unnecessary packing up his nose. Like hey guys can you maybe try to find a happy medium between under- and overreacting lol??

God Thony dropping the phone and not being able to reach it makes me feel so stressed, and then ugh her being found because Fi keeps calling her??? Reminds me of 1x01 and Fi’s call being the reason she gets found and thrown in front of Arman in the first place. The woman really needs to learn to put her ringer on silent lol. But god how badass that she literally climbs her way out and runs across the top of the container and makes a jump for it? Like damn Arman was right, she really has learned a few things lol. Also fucking love Arman seeing Thony getting cornered by two gunmen and responding by immediately taking out his own guy (by fighting dirty, throwing sand in his eyes and then kicking him in the balls, to which I say hell yeah) before diving for his gun and shooting the guy who was about to shoot Thony. And then taking out the other guy too, before yelling for her to get down and killing the guy who had just appeared out of the container behind her (what that guy was still doing in the container for so long when Thony had already escaped, who knows lol). And ugh when he signals for her to run over to him, she doesn’t hesitate, just knows that he will cover her and make sure she makes it safely, and then they make their escape together on the bike with him shooting the last two guys while racing out of there??? Like honestly this man needs to go straight back to jail because being this sexy is a goddamn CRIME

Ugh, yet again we were robbed of the possible Armony though– like excuse me, where is my scene of her clinging to him again as he races them back to the hospital, then the two of them frantically asking each other if they’re okay/uninjured before he reassures her he’s fine and sends her back in to save Luca, telling her to call him as soon as she has news?? Like seriously where is it, writers??? I need ALL the Armony ugh

Ngl I’m on Dr Gonzalez’s side here lol, bc what Thony is proposing to do is legit crazy– not to mention both illegal and unethical, which would be sOO MUCH LESS OF A PROBLEM IF Y’ALL HAD GONE TO MY BOY DR SAROYAN INSTEAD, BUT NOOOOOOOO. Like again, I know that they had to end up at a proper hospital for the plot, but ugh that doesn’t stop the plot from being annoying lol. Though tbh I do love that they can only achieve their plan of sneakily giving Luca the treatment he needs because of their little network of cleaning ladies haha. Who run the world????

Lbr tho this girl is taking a huge risk for them– I appreciate the writers at least giving the explanation that it’s in thanks for Thony delivering Nina’s baby, but still, can we at least try to minimise her involvement so she doesn’t go down with you??? In fact, get Fi the hell out of here too, you don’t need her! Especially since Luca apparently needs to be ventilated for 36 hours for the drug to work, which means it is literally impossible for them to NOT get caught doing this. Aaaaahhhh I am so stressed lol. Aaand yep they’ve been caught by Dr Gonzalez already, who actually kind of seems like he might go along with it– what is it about the Thony & Luca combo that men just can’t say no to lol?? lbr I would not say no either sooo

Like lol Garrett literally admits it to Russo, that he was right in the middle of yelling at Thony and then let her go the moment there was a call about Luca. He really does get too close to his CIs and tbh I love that about him because it’s both a flaw and one of his main redeeming attributes. And ugh when he tells her that he believed Arman when he said that it came down to a choice between Thony or Maya (love the fact that both Russo and Garrett are well aware just how much Thony means to Arman), and that Arman is a criminal who actually tells the truth? Which is ironic because Garrett is a law enforcement officer that will lie and manipulate people all day long if it serves his purpose. Like yesss this is what the show has been saying all along– people aren’t just black and white, good and bad. The world is complicated and grey and what’s ‘right’ isn’t always clear

Speaking of complicated though, oh god Garrett and Russo. What are you two doing. Like I appreciate that Garrett says he’s a mess and needs to figure himself out, that was very mature of him…… aaaaaand now they’re hooking up lol. I still can’t get over the fact that timeline-wise, it’s been like a week since Maya’s death, but hey I guess everyone copes in their own way or whatever lol

Uggghhhh god it is so hard to watch this scene with Dr Gonzalez bringing in the cops and child services, but tbh are you REALLY so shocked, Thony?? Honestly she has been just getting away with shit for far too long, and even when there’s repercussions (like Arman or Garrett getting pissed with her) she gets forgiven quickly enough that it seems she’s forgotten that she might actually have to face real, permanent consequences. (Again, Marco who?? lol) But I do kinda love how angry and disbelieving she is about them taking her away, because it is so fitting for her character, and fits with the way she deals with fear/panic. But again I’m just saying Thony, you could have been sipping coffee with Arman at Luca’s bedside in Dr Saroyan’s clinic rn, but instead Luca is being taken from you, and you and Fi are in handcuffs. Sigh why do these fictional characters never listen to me

Omg wtf RK is trying to drown Nadia?????? No fucking way will I allow this. Ok that’s it, I’ve been saying all along that this dude gotta die and now there’s no going back. KILL HIM NADIA. MAKE HIM REGRET BEING BORN

#The Cleaning Lady #TCL recaps #Armony #better late than never right??#one more recap to do then I can finally actually focus on fic #can't wait #now let's see about my prediction that like 3 people will read this lol

Blindsided

Anonymous request: a cute and fluffy fic where the reader attends the It premier but it’s also her first time at red carpet event because she isn’t famous. *Changed it up a little bit but the theme remains the same. Hope you enjoy*

No strings attached; giving something to someone without needing or wanting anything in return. You figured it was the best way to live your life and the only way to navigate relationships. Naturally when you met Bill, neither of you were looking for anything too serious. His career demanded far too much from him and you had been down that road more than once before; this arrangement simply clicked.

“Come to the premier with me.” Bill slugs back the rest of the amber liquid in his pint glass, grinning at you.

You don’t hear him over the tuning-up of guitars from the start up band at the bar. “I didn’t quite catch that!”

Bill shifts in his seat, leaning forward across the table. “Be my plus one to the It premier, it’s in a week from Tuesday. It’ll be fun. Alex and Gustaf are going.” You hear him fully at this point, though the question doesn’t entirely sink in.

“You want me to attend the It premier with you?”

Bill nods emphatically, his green eyes wide and bordering on glassy. He looks happy. “I do. I know it’s your first premier and I know that you get kind of nervous around crowds but it would mean a lot to me to have you there.” If you’re honest with yourself, which you always try to be, you have no reasonable explanation to say no. Bill opens his mouth to say something else but you interject, shaking your head.

“I’ll go with you. On the condition that we go as just the way we are now.”

Bill cocks his head to the side questioningly. “As in?”

“Just friends.” You announce.

His eyes flash and you know instantly that you’ve said something wrong. “Why is that something that is so important to you? Why is it so hard for you to comprehend that someone may actually want something from you, other than the occasional fuck or beers at a bar?” It causes the breath to catch in your throat and you swallow hard. You watch as Bill gets up from the booth and throws a leather jacket on over his denim button up. He hesitates before he leaves and turns back to add something. “Some day someone is going to lay their heart on the line for you, and you’ll be powerless to stop them.”

It’s only while you’re on your way to the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood that the gravity of what you’re about to do, sinks in. You had decided two nights ago that you were going to go to the premier. You’re nearing the theatre and the urge to tuck and roll from the cab you’re currently in, is overwhelming. “This is it.” The cabbie announces, pulling up to a curb just before the theatre. “Though I’m not entirely sure how you’ll find your way in…” You glance up from the watch on the underside of your wrist and your heart sinks a little at the sight of a sizable gate around the entirety of the building.

“Cheers man.” You sigh, handing him a twenty dollar bill and exiting the cab into the balmy September evening. He had obviously dropped you off at the least busy side of the building, but you could hear rumblings of voices in the distance. The only sound around you now were those of your heels clacking against the pavement underneath you. As you round the corner, you spot Alexander first. At six foot four, blonde hair, and also unbearably handsome he is standing next to Gustaf but Bill is nowhere to be seen.

Gustaf notices you first but has to do a double take and when he realizes it’s you, he waves a hand happily and nudges Alex. “Y/n!” Alex beckons you to follow them, so you push your way through throngs of people.

“Where’s Bill?” You ask, when you eventually catch up to the two brothers.

Alex stands on tiptoes to survey the surrounding hoards of people. “Uh… somewhere up at the front on the red carpet. We made a bit of a late entrance.” He winks in your direction. “We’re catching up with him soon though. I’m positive that he can’t wait to see you.” Your heart skips a beat in your chest.

Bill obviously hasn’t told them about the row we got into…

“She’s with us,” Alex tells the security guard and he let’s the three of us past the main gate effortlessly.

It is absolute madness on the inside; men, women and children all dressed in fashion’s latest designs and agents of celebrities running around the carpet with headsets and clipboards. You don’t think you’ll ever get used to this environment; the feeling of dread is almost overpowering.

I should not have come here tonight…

And then you and Bill exchange confused glances from five feet apart and everything falls away. You watch, transfixed, as he realizes it’s you on the red carpet. You’re expecting him to be angry, but you receive a dumbfounded smile instead. “You made it…” He announces once he’s made his way past the interviewers and photographers.

“We’re off to find our seats!” Alex tells Bill, jabbing him teasingly in the ribs. Bill only nods in acknowledgment and turns his gaze to yours.

“I’d have been a fucking idiot not to come.” You murmur. “I detest crowds; they make me extremely nervous. The idea of giving my heart to someone scares the shit out of me and I spent far too much money on this dress and these heels and yet I still feel like I don’t belong here… But I needed to see you. I needed to do this for you, I am embarrassingly proud of what you’ve accomplished so far.”

Bill shakes his head, grinning. “God, you look so fucking beautiful.” He closes the gap between you both, placing a gentle kiss to the crook of your neck. “I’m over the moon to have you here with me and to show you off.” He takes your hand in his and presses his lips to your knuckles. “I’m laying my heart on the line for you my love.”

This causes a smile to bloom across your face, and you give a gentle squeeze to his hand. “I’m certainly powerless to stop you.”
