🌻💜

so as you know my dad's spent the last couple months in the US where he was hanging out with a friend and consulting for his business. well he met a man there named edward who greeted my dad with a slur and so my dad immediately called him a redneck and um. somehow this started off a friendship?

anyway edward has a famous relative who he no longer talks to because she won't enable his addiction, he also got mad at my dad for not enabling his addiction but then they made up when my dad took edward to get a haircut. edward also shared a ton of meals with my dad including desi food, and he was v happy to find out my dad is a dog person because edward also has a dog! he and i said hello to each other on video chat n when he found out i'm a dentist he went "oh i need you in my life" and told me his issues and i gave him whatever advice i could.

one time i was video chatting my dad and he flips the camera to show me edward just lying facedown on the pavement and i was like "wtf happened" and my dad's like "oh he got drunk and got into a fistfight with daniel and daniel got tired of his shit so he knocked him out." i was like "well is anyone going to help him" and my dad's like "i asked and daniel says this happens quite often" 😭 and sure enough edward was indeed fine and once he slept it off he was back to being besties with my dad and daniel (and they ate desi food together everyday).

anyway when my dad said he's going back edward got quite sad and then gifted him a small santo antonio figurine which i thought was lovely. and while edward and my dad got off on the wrong foot, i think there's something to be said about getting to know each other as people which is really the only way you can get through to someone and make them reconsider their previously held beliefs. obviously doesn't work in all cases but it did in this one and i think it's lovely.

send me a 🌻 and i'll tell you anything

9: one night stand but the next morning you learn it's your CEO's kid

In hindsight, Fernando realizes it probably wasn't the best decision to take the kid home from the bar. Nothing good happens in Manhattan on a Thursday after 11pm, and especially not when the next day involves a quarterly presentation that his team has been scrambling to put together for months, now. If he were smarter, maybe he'd have called it a night after the last toast with his analysts. Hell, maybe he wouldn't have shown up at all.

The thing is, right after their row of chairs at the bar had cleared, Fernando had turned to look for one of the senior leadership teams and ended up with a face full of unidentifiable blazer--which had, of course, ended up being Lance. Lance, who'd apologized and introduced himself blandly but with a glint in his eye. Lance, who'd offered to buy Fernando a drink with a dark, raised brow that'd been urging him on.

Lance, who's now dragging him to the too-small bathroom at the back of the bar like his life depends on it. Fernando is far too many drinks in to protest such a blessing, this stranger and his big hands pawing at his belt like a desperate puppy: he'll just have to roll with it instead. "Easy," he chuckles, voice sounding distant to his own ears, "easy, princesa, this is my nicest suit." It's not, really, but Lance doesn't need to know that. They have to slow it down or he's going to make a mess of--well, of himself. It's been a long time since he hooked up with someone like this in a bathroom of all places. He's not 27 anymore.

"Really?" His companion's voice is breathy but clearly disbelieving, both brows now arched at his words. "It's not that nice." Fernando is too drunk to be immediately irritated, which works in his favor, because in a beat Lance's face breaks into a shit-eating grin, head thunking back against the stall carelessly, like he knows what he's doing. "I've wiped my ass with nicer."

Such an asshole. Fernando huffs a half-formed laugh, then thwacks his arm heavily into Lance's chest, knocking a little uff from him. "You talk too much," he counters, forcing his weight into Lance a little more. The low groan of approval he gets in return just makes him put a little more effort into it. "What, is playing with daddy's money not enough for you?" The younger man's eyes seem to glaze over at his tone. "You want to see what it is like to do real work, hm, is that it." Fernando's not going to bother trying to make this work here and now--he's going to drag this rich pretty boy back to his apartment on 57th Street, and he's going to fuck all this haughty, smug energy right out of him.

Lance goes easily, and the night passes all too quickly. The mess left behind when he scrabbles for his now-filthy blazer and all but disappears from Fernando's place before dawn is the only proof he'd ever been there in the first place. It's probably for the better, anyway: he's now working against the clock to put himself together and keep all of his Q4 talking points in relative order instead of think about the noises he'd ripped from that stranger sharing his bed all night.

He's going to secure that end-of-year bonus for his team the moment he walks through the conference room doors--

of course, that's before he sees Lance sitting in that same now-clean blazer at the end of the table, seated next to Fernando's CEO and picking at his nails uninterestedly.

Side by side, the resemblance is uncanny.

"Oh, fuck."

Ohhh yes I know this one. He looks like the evil little prince from a Sci-Fi story that makes the protagonist's life hell

4&23? 🩵

Tyy for the ask

4. Movie of the year?

This is hard I don't watch that many movies xD I'm def the kind of person who sees a movie that looks cool, thinks I totally have to watch it, and then forgets it even exists .03 seconds later. But if we consider 2024 movies and we don't care about the length then absolutely the Spirk short. Yes it's 8 minutes but it's a movie to me. The range of emotion I've experienced. The sheer fucking impact it has

23. If you could send a message to yourself back on the first day of the year, what would it be?

Probably to try and take things more easily like. Yes anxiety we all know her no way to control it. But I definitely worked myself up so much about so many things when I knew there was no reason to. So yeah that things are going fine and they work out and to fuel that energy somewhere more productive
