Futile Devices — Chapter 2
A Javier Peña/Call Me By Your Name AU
Summary: Your crush on your father’s house guest, Javier, comes quick and confusing.
Warnings: Age gap (reader is of age), language, drinking, some angst
Javier sits with your father in the back gardens every morning over breakfast. They meet to discuss their writing goals for the day and go over their notes from the day before for you have found most of their writing has been done separately.
Vita, hungover from the night before, crosses her arms over her big t-shirt and you can tell she’s squinting even behind her sunglasses. “Why don’t you guys ever eat inside?”
“Morning, girls.” Your father says, looking up from the papers in his hand, as Javier sits across from him, cigarette in his mouth, tapping away at the typewriter.
“Hi, dad.” You yawn as Vita slumps down into a chair with a grunt and you pour her a cup of coffee from the pot in the middle of the table.
“Thank you.” She grumbles and Javier grins around his cigarette.
You take your own cup and sit opposite Vita at the other end of the table, next to your house guest and Javier puts out his cigarette when you do.
“Claude, I need you to run into town today.” Your father sighs, stacking his papers up. “I need you to have Paolo fax these chapters to the publisher.”
“Sure.” You nod, a task you have been doing your whole life.
“I’ll come too.” Javier says and both yours and Vita’s attention turns to him. “I’m running low.”
He shakes his empty Marlboro package and Vita pulls her glasses down to raise her eyebrows at you.
