1800fuckdads·:

Had Felix ever mentioned how much of a bitch Sylvain José Gautier was? Dude knew just how to push his buttons and the problem? He’s good at it. Felix was never good with people that could out stubborn him. And to his dismay, Sylvain had their entire childhood to now to practice getting over on him but just never giving in. “Yeah, sure, you can wear the backpack, and I hope you walk off a cliff with it like that one guy who played your dumb little game.” Keep an eye on your surroundings at all times!

“I don’t care what you say, idiot, WE,” he flicked a rather painful finger onto Sylvain’s chest to wag between the two of them, “aren’t doing shit. So get it through that thick ass skull of yours that—” Did his phone just read ‘Thank You For Your Purchase!’? Felix dropped his handheld without realizing it, attempting to slap a palm over Sylvain’s face and reach over for his phone.

“GIVE ME YOUR PHONE, I DON’T CARE IF YOU CAN’T GET A REFUND, GIVE ME YOUR DAMN PHONE.”

♡ ━━ as the game fell from felix’s hands sylvain was already steeled for an attack, jolting the hand holding his phone to full arm’s length out of felix’s reach. laughing, he accepted the face-slaps and started a fake faq on the spot. “mr. fuck rodrigue sir, your diehard fans must know, who’s your favorite video game character to jerk it to?”

as felix crawled over him to reach, he pushed down on his shoulder, getting a knee up between their stomachs as additional shielding. “wait wait, new questions coming in, is it true you’ve never kissed a girl? what about a boy? would you date a fan, if they asked really really desperately?” he laughed again, but in a sudden movement the phone slipped from his hand, bouncing on the carpeted floor with a “shit.” in a final bid to keep felix from reaching it, sylvain’s arms wrapped around his neck, any attempt to act serious ruined by bubbling giggles. “what if the fan was a super hot redhead?”

Sylvain could go a mile a minute when motivated. “Whoa, whoa, whoa,” he could see this wild stallion galloping out of the stable with a phone in hand. “What, why would I ever need to do a Q&A, that’s what a FAQ is for. What can I say that can’t be answered in a quick Google search.” It wasn’t like Felix didn’t offhand reply to some questions in chat if they were interesting. Personal ones were tossed to the wayside. 

“I don’t wanna, I don’t wannaaa,” Felix groaned, melting into the sofa to run away from his thoughts but his mind followed Sylvain down this shitty rabbit hole anyway. It was horrible. “A bad idea, thanks. You can rent a backpack all you want, you can’t make me wear it.” Certainly a challenge to both of them. “If you want to be onscreen that much,” a bone to toss was better than his shitty PR manager, “we can play something not shitty that you still like… Bario Party but only if Ruigi is on Hard. The green one is your favorite.”

♡ ━━ little did felix know ( or perhaps plenty did felix know, considering their long-standing relationship ) he was just giving sylvain more ammunition. the more specific the complaint, the easier it was for sylvain to already have a solution prepared, and eventually, eventually, felix would run out of excuses. once he ran out of excuses, he had to say yes. it was a time-honored tradition, really, if felix ever said yes to something outright sylvain might perish on the spot.

“perfect, then i’ll wear the backpack!” he glossed over the invitation to play a less mobile game easily, as well as the obvious attempt to get a rise out of him ( felix knew damn well sylvain only played cute girls, what was the point of a fantasy if he was just going to play some ugly dude? ). “i figured you would be too shy to be the main focus, but everybody is watching for you, after all. and if you don’t wanna take audience questions, i’ll make up a little list for you! stuff like your hobbies outside of games, what got you started streaming, what you’re going to school for, people eat that shit up. i bet you’d get twenty questions about your love life alone! but if i moderate, i can promise you won’t get any questions you’d extra hate to answer.” oops, his credit card info has already been input. guess they’re getting a streaming backpack!

I love both of these terrible boys so much??

“Mhmm,” this wouldn’t be the first or the last time Felix listened to a Sylvain-brand vent. His eyes followed the cursor on his handheld comparing stat boosts on the latest dungeon-crawler he buried his nose into. “You complain like your favorite pastime isn’t spending money on ‘the honeys,’ as I remember you saying last week.” It didn’t annoy him as much as an outside observer might assume. Felix lived vicariously through Sylvain’s adventures, enjoying his very detailed, and very accurate portrayals. 

His body rocked against the overbearing weight but his focus on defeating the goblin king wouldn’t waver. Listening to Sylvain could always find a way to sour. He wished his handheld wasn’t so worn out so it could make the deafening snap of a flip phone. “I know I play video games for a living, but could you think of making me any more embarrassing?” Of course, he knew such social atrocities existed, events could be excused but for personal use? How embarrassing. 

“You should be executed for even asking something so stupid,” thumb flipping the console’s screen back up to resume his battle. “If I didn’t want to have a selfie stick why in the world would I get geek squad on my back to let you play on your phone. And by the way, geosocial games aren’t really interesting to watch, save it for your Twitter update… and my,” one-handed air quotes, “fans, don’t even know who you are.”

♡ ━━ “see, you’re focusing on the geo, i’m focusing on the social. you’re missing the potential!” lucky for felix, he had such a socially-aware and loving best friend to steer him right. “you could make it a special event, like-- have you done a single q&a? you can air-quote fans as much as you want, if they watch you every stream, they like you. i’m sure a big portion of your regular viewers would be ecstatic to learn more about you.” sylvain pulled up his phone, checking prices online for the atrocities felix had already said no to. felix was going to give in before this conversation was over.

“picture this: you’re sitting at your desk, all eyes on you, no video game to distract anyone, just so your fans can learn more about you. horrible, right? now consider instead that you are walking, talking, i’m there being charming, and you can just dick around until you get a question you actually want to answer. isn’t that better? isn’t that a fantastic idea that you adore me for? don’t worry, i’m renting the backpack so you don’t have to suffer byleth spotting it in your closet.” as if that robot had ever felt or administered shame in his eternal robot life.

[lefleau]

♡ ━━ “and then she said -- can you believe this? -- she said i should be happy she just wanted my money, because i have commitment issues. me! commitment issues!” felix had surely heard enough about sylvain’s breakups to last him several dozen lifetimes, but sylvain had to take his self-allotted 120 seconds or so of complaints anyway. after all, felix would probably start to worry if he didn’t have to put up with this every few weeks. “like i’m afraid of love! like i wouldn’t spend forever with the right person! love is the best!”

with a huff, he threw himself down on the couch, landing against felix’s shoulder and peeking at the handheld he was playing. “hey, i was thinking, do you have one of those like, streaming backpacks? where you can wear it and stream anywhere? you should let me on your stream to play my favorite game, i bet your fans miss me~”

@lefleau​ – starter call

“what’s got you all stiff, gautier?” part of the costume claude’s got on involves wine that’s just red enough to pass as blood, and it’s stained his lips a little by now with how much he’s drank tonight. sure, it isn’t what claude would normally go for as his first choice, but the guy throwing the party was more than happy with claude’s suggestion, and it’s paid off. besides, he’s got a decently high tolerance– he’s doing fine.

surprisingly, the little resin fangs attached to his canines are just fine as well, which feels like a miracle in and of itself. (granted, it’s not like he’s stress-tested them much, but he’s learned not to trust amazon much in matters of stability.) they peak over his lip as he offers another smile to his friend, leaning against the wall next to him with that same mischievous glint in his eye– only accented further by the eyeliner, probably.  “whaaat. cat got your tongue? i thought you were good at holding your liquor!”

♡ ━━ for a moment, just a moment, sylvain thought claude must have done it on purpose. but an attempt at seduction was both unnecessary and unwarranted; to think otherwise was ridiculously self-centered. claude was not planning his whole halloween around sylvain. maybe rooming with someone hot and available for the second year running had been a bad idea, after all.

“oh, i’m holding my liquor just fine,” he lied, having put several of his acting skills to use for the past hour or so to look as sober as possible while indulging an above-average amount. “i’m just disappointed!” he also lied. “if i’d known you were dressing up, i would have made sure we matched. sexy dracula and sexy cowboy make a pretty poor pair. sure, maybe i just wanted an excuse to go shirtless, but imagine the possibilities!” he gave a wink. “i for one think you would look fantastic as a barmaid.”

gravestone, trick-or-treat

gravestone: ideal way you’d like to die?

“oh, that’s easy!” the way his face lit up, it really did seem to be an answer already on the tip of his tongue. “at the hands of a friend!”

“you know, like if anyone gets to decide when my life ends, i want it to be someone i’m close to. it should be violent, too, that way i know they really meant it. i don’t wanna go and make anyone upset!” at what point did the level of detail get worrying? ..probably a while ago, actually.

trick or treat: tell me about the greatest prank you’ve ever pulled?

“okay, so it was when we were kids, my friend really had it out for my brother. since i didn’t really like him that much either, any time we came up with something really nasty, he was our number one target, because whatever it was, he probably deserved it. i was about… twelve, and we snuck into his bathroom and stole his shampoo. a little google chemistry, some careful mixing, another mission to sneak it back in like nothing had happened, and miklan was losing hair for weeks. i don’t even think he figured out what happened, he just ran through the bottle and got a new one! poor guy was ugly enough already without the patchy hair.”

chiaki never really could grasp how sylvain was so energetic all the time. study hall was objectively the most quiet and boring time slot of the day, and even though it was still early in the semester a lot of the other students had already lost their initial drive. it was definitely something admirable about him. she still was confused as to how the two got to the point of doing their algebra together on a regular basis, but it was happening, so she didn’t question it too much. he was a nice person, and it was a good idea to have another reference for math. there was only ever one right answer with numbers, after all.

”yeah, no problem. i don’t think i made much difference, but it does help having someone to cross-check with.”

she gave a small hum after checking the time once he mentioned they finished sooner than expected.

”oh yeah, we really did. talk about a speed run.”

there was at least a good half hour left, and they weren’t allowed to leave early. maybe if she was quiet, she could sneak in a quick round of–

”lines? well…i don’t think i’ll be a good scene partner, but…”

she didn’t want to say no to a friend. besides, it was less risky than trying to dig out her nantendo.

”okay, sure. and you don’t have to call me that. are you in a play already or something?”

♡ ━━ are you in a play? well, that was a new one. sylvain blinked, caught between relief that she didn’t know him you know, from tv and feeling like a douche for assuming she would. it did make sense enough, considering her apparently very focused interests, and it was nice to know she wasn’t just getting in line for the sylvain experience...

he used the cover of digging in his bag for his script to decide how to address it, and by the time he’d retrieved it, he gave her a wink. “ooh, something like that. it’s a different script every week, so every bit helps.” he slid the script over to her, his only copy, but he was already well on his way to memorization anyway. “and you are cute, whether i have to say it or not. you have some real natural charms baked right in, no effort on your part necessary!”

“don’t worry, though, i’m not making you read anything romantic. kind of the opposite actually-- you’ll be reading the part of the mortician, in this scene she’s making a guess at how the victim died. there’s a twist, though, it’s kinda like the halloween episode so the dude isn’t actually dead. so have at it!”

   “ so like, what is everyone going as for halloween? you can’t say minecraft! “

“whatever it is, we all know it has to have the ‘sexy’ prefix, right? i’m thinking sexy fireman. maybe cowboy. thoughts?”

[lefleau]

♡ ━━ “i thiiink that covers it!” sylvain announced triumphantly, finishing one last scan over their study guides to assure every number matched-- a few different methods of finding the number here and there, sylvain’s mind had never worked quite traditionally, but the results were what mattered, and those results were spot-on. “thanks for doing it with me, chiaki, i don’t think i could have finished without you! you really saved me.” it wasn’t exactly a lie, there were a few functions he hadn’t memorized yet, a few concepts he was still working through, but he’d certainly gotten through it faster than expected thanks to her help.

glancing down at his phone, he let out a low whistle at the time. much faster than he expected, then. “we really blew through that, huh? we’ve still got time with the study room...” it would be a shame to waste the time, especially with such a chronic introvert.

“hey, you wanna help me study something else? nothing helps me memorize my lines quite like a cutie reading across from me~”

♡ ━━ plotting call !

like this post if one of the following plots intrigues you, or if you have your own idea already, and i’ll come into your ims when i next have the chance. alternatively ( and faster ), you can dm me on twitter!

as a basic rundown: sylvain is 23 years old, a second-year business major, aaaand marginally famous. when he was about 15, he had a large role in a blockbuster movie, a real breakout hit child star situation, but he’s only worked in smaller projects since. currently, he’s a main cast side character in a daytime cop drama ( the plucky young detective who always gives comically bad ideas, but always kicks off the genius main character’s right answer ).

any character at any time is welcome to recognize sylvain and know him by name ( his name with the actor’s guild is sylvain josé gautier ) due to this fame, whether as the teen heartthrob or current daytime actor.

━━ rich boys we have problems too,

sylvain comes from old money. anyone else who also grew up rich could have mingled with him as kids; even if there’s a few years between them, sylvain was always looking for friends in his youth!

possible outcomes: childhood friends, rival families, childhood enemies, ‘our parents kept trying to get us together for company merger reasons but seriously we have zero interest in each other like that please stop’.

━━ i don’t break hearts i destroy them,

this is your general category for exes, former friends with benefits, or anyone else who caught feelings for sylvain and subsequently regretted it deeply. sylvain is a very charming young man who flirts heavily and earnestly. he can make you feel like the only person in the room.. and then do the same to the next person in the room. be warned that this category may ( but does not have to, your comfort comes first ) include implications of infidelity and/or sylvain just being goddamn cruel in his own sylvain way.

possible outcomes: sylvain already has an endgame ship planned!! no one who plots with me will be getting an actual ship out of it, this is purely for platonic development! with that out of the way, possible outcomes could be ‘can you believe this dickhead, fuck him, anyway we’re still cool i just wanna dunk on him all the time because i know his secrets now,’ ‘we dated and it didn’t work out and that’s fine,’ ‘i’m going to kill sylvain gautier,’ ‘i knew what i was getting into but it was fun while it lasted,’ or any number of other outcomes, negative, neutral, or positive. people who hate sylvain are totally welcome here. the only thing not welcome is, again, actual shipping-- no matter how good their relationship was, it won’t be the endgame.

━━ party rockers in the hou,

“it’s party rock is” *makes out* okay but anyway college time what up, sylvain really is mostly here to pursue a business degree but he has never in his life said no to a party. he’s not big on most illegal substances, but alcohol is a hell yes almost always. fellow serial party-goers welcome!

possible outcomes: the more wholesome the better honestly, i just want sylvain to have friends he can chill tf out and potentially skip class with. this is a no-judgement zone we all have problems that we chase down with late nights and bad decisions. sylvain is surprisingly responsible unless he’s with someone he really trusts, so while he may not be your designated driver, he will be your designated ‘on my life you’re getting home safe’r. you can trust him, period.
