#lestappen concept

[tetralea]

Ok, so how about this Lestappen concept?

Max gets terrified by the thought that he might be homophobic. He has his roommate Charles, who occasionally brings his boyfriends to their apartment and Max just hates even the thought of looking at them kissing. It’s never offensive tho, just a peck on the lips our a quick kiss while they watch a movie in the living room, yet Max hates it. 

So, on a Friday night when he is out with Daniel and already drunk a bit too much, he brings it up. That he hates himself for feeling like that, because if Charles was something than he is a great roommate, appart from the occasional messy habits and the state of his own room, disastrous chaos, as Max describes, but really he is great to live together with. So, Max feels guilty in general and for feeling like this for Charles and his hook ups or boyfriends when he manages to keep one for longer than a month. 

Daniel already knowing Max way too well, tries to help without stating the obvious, which might frighten the blonde first. He asks if Max feels this way when he sees other guys or girls kissing. Then he asks if Max ever saw Charles with a girl, which he did, well the girls were mostly leaving his bedroom when Max met them, so it was hard to tell, also it did happen on rare occasions. Yet Daniel challenges him, if he feels the same, just imagining it, or if he could describe the feeling itself, which Daniel is very positive at this point is more jealousy and sadness than homophobia. 

So, after a very long conversation Max realises that no matter who the person is, if the kiss involves Charles he sees red, his stomach sinks and has to bite his own tongue to stop the sour taste forming on it. The moment is clear when realisation hits him, that he has a crush on his roommate, more over maybe have been in love with him for a while now. 

Trough some fluffy, clumsy, angsty weeks Max manages to tell Charles how he feels and after Charles kisses him and finally his soul feels calm. He has no issues with Charles kissing boys as long as he is at the receiving end of that kiss.

Ok, so what about a head cannon of Lestappen and subdrop?

Max having a subdrop would be so soft. The next day he would be just down. He would curl up on the couch under a fluffy blanket which only ever Charles uses, but he feels like he needs that extra softness in that moment. He wouldn’t be on his phone or anything he would be just laying and relaxing quietly. Charles would have no idea first what is going on until like 10 minutes when he would drop everything in the kitchen rush to Max, squeezing himself between his lover and the couch and would hold him so close. He would make sure Max is tucked in, and would pepper gentle kisses on the places which are above the blanket. He would tell Max how good he was last night and how proud he is, and would just lay there with him making Max feel content and safe. Then he would get up to make some coffee with small pieces of chocolate on the side, slowly making Max feel better. By the end of the day they would watch so many comedies and cat videos, and he would make sure Jimmy or Sassy would be always around Max, preferably purring, because he read somewhere it has healing effects, and even if he is wrong it can’t hurt to try. Max would receive all the kisses and cuddles there are during the day.

Charles having a subdrop would be a bit different, he would try and power through it first, not giving in. He would start his day as usual just to end up a lot more annoyed by everything. He would try and listen to one of his playlist to cheer him up but it is not working too well. So after having a breakdown for not finding his phone for 2 minutes, Max would take everything out of his hands and would just hold him. Standing in the middle of the apartment they would just stand there for minutes. Then Max would walk Charles into the bathroom and would run a bath for him, basically forcing the brunette into the hot water to make him relax a bit. Charles would insist that he is fine until he is soaked in the bath realising how much his body and soul actually needed this. Max would sit with him, his back against the white ceramic, chest supporting Charles. His fingers would draw patterns on the freckled skin, he would massage Charles’ wrists which are still a bit red and sore. Maybe even letting Charles have a small nap like this. Then he would make the perfect instant soup, to warm up his lover from the inside too. He would wrap him in the fluffy blanket, and would bring along Charles fav snacks, then they would go in a walk on the Sun, because Max is convinced that his South European lover is powered by the Sun and he needs some charge from time to time, his skin soaking in the warmth. Then they would just curl up on the bed watching some series, Max massaging Charles sore muscles and kissing them all over, telling him how proud and happy he is to have someone like Charles.

I just saw you reblocked the lapdance incorrect quote. Would you write something for it? It would be so cool 🙈

Soooo, do you want me to write Charles giving a lap dance to Max? 😏😏😏

I’m not saying it didn’t cross my mind, it actually did, and it’s a very hot imagery and I’d love to do it. No promises because I have a lot of things to do, tho. :/

I’m not sure what he would wear or where it would happen, but it most probably would end in a very tense moment, Charles straddling Max’s thighs, chest heaving, staring at each other contemplating the consequences of a very messy and heated kiss.

Lestappen really fit the trope idiots in love.

I mean they must be really good at hiding when glitter exposes them but they're cute. Now I wonder where they really good or just lucky yk

Charles clearly doesn't think before he speaks and it shows😂

But Max loves him nontheles.

They are! My idiots in love.

I think it was both, like maybe it started with Max thinking kissing Charles was a good idea in a fancy party in Monaco behind a coat rack, and when they kissed each other stupid, they didn’t know what to say so Charles just left. Then he appeared at Max’s door the next day doing the same, not even thinking and before he could have say anything Max kissed him again and they end up in bed together. There is not much talking apart from some whispered ‘is this okay?, ‘can I?’, ‘are you okay?’.

And it went on and on, just showing up and when they finished just leave without words, they say it is just something to get rid of the tension. But slowly they start to speak a little after, and when one time Max is very upset Charles stayed to play some video games, and they start to meet more and more like this, just being together without having sex immediately.

And Max panics and tell Daniel that he might be in love with Charles, and Charles also panicked because Max is pushing him away, so Pierre and Daniel knows, and kind of helps them to keep it as a secret until they feel like they can tell the others. So they just cover for them, when they are on a date or together. 🤷‍♀️
