His Boy

Ship: Mikael Mikaelson/Pierre de Troyes AN: Doppelganger of Klaus CW: Toxic Relationship, manipulation/abuse/compulsion WC: 871

~~~~~

Pierre's fingers moved carefully over the keys of the piano, Mikael had taken a liking to the instrument hearing others play it, and his own old instrument had started to fall from the use. He always needed, wanted -he mentally corrected as Mikael would, a creative release. So Piano seemed like a good choice to move onto, especially since he'd learned Mikael did not like when he painted or drew.

There had been a segment of time he couldn't play either because the man had shattered the bones in his hand and didn't let him set it right. Months later he did it again purposefully and fixed it, then 'requested' him play for him.

He hit the wrong key in the tune he was trying to mimic and heard a disappointed sigh from across the room. He tensed immediately. "I thought you were better then making such obvious mistakes." Mikael said dryly.

"I am s-"

"No." He cut him off suddenly at his side and turned him towards him, hand tight on his jaw. "How often do I tell you that a man doesn't Apologise, boy?" He said annoyed.

Pierre's eyebrows drew together for just a moment, he'd been told to apologise just as often as he was told Not to. He nodded best he could with the grip on his jaw.

"Are you going to get it Right now?"

"I-" will do my best, he was going to say, "of course." He said instead.

"Then, Do It." He said, "if my Son could play it, I would hate you Not to be able to." He told her, "it would disappoint me."

Pierre nodded slowly and Mikael let go, smiling as he watched him swallow in worry. Then Mikael stepped back and watched him as he sat down, expression going flat. Then Pierre's hand moved back to the keys and took a slow breath and then restarted the song.

He moved threw the song perfectly, eyes staying on the keys, doing his best to ignore the purposefully watching gaze from Mikael. He finished and looked up at him, hopeful but doing his best Not to show it, "better," Mikael said simply. Not good, not a compliment. Just. 'Better.' Which was about as close to praise as he got about anything. He did his best not to frown and just nodded.

"Anything else you would like for me?" He asked.

"Come here." He said simply and he didn't hesitate and was immediately in front of him. He shifted with almost Nervous energy. Mikael caught his shirt and pulled him down into his lap, only to drag his head to the side and bite into his throat sharply.

Pierre bit the inside of his lip to hold back a slight moan, pain or not, Mikael moved one hand under his shirt to his waist thumb running gently over his skin, the softest thing he ever gets from the man. He was doing all he could not to grip him in return. Mikael rarely liked that.

Mikael pulled back for a moment and Pierre shifted ready to stand again despite his dizziness, but he was held closer instead, "I'm not done." Pierre nodded and tilted his head again, "good boy," he said pleased and he all but melted.

He shifted closer and Mikael bit into his throat again, until he felt him going weak then finally stopped and instead kissed, only one gentle almost apologetically, then he moved to pull him into an actual kiss, teeth still sharp against his lips. Pierre's hand moved into his shirt this time.

.

It was just after one his shows that they left, and Mikael stopped seeing someone familiar across the street. Mikael was suddenly away from his side, Pierre blinked then moments later he followed he got to Mikael just in time to see him rip the heart from a man who looked so like him.

Pierre stilled, eyes wide and fearful as a man who looked like an older version of him, he slowly took a step back feeling his breathing start to go out of his control and Mikaels attention snapped to him.

"Pierre."

"Wh- what-"

"Pierre!" He said again and he snapped to him, then looked to the body then to Mikaels angry glare he turned to run. He had never done that before, but he was so... he was so scared.

His back suddenly hit a rock wall a hand tight on his throat. "Why is it always THIS that gets you to break the words." He all but growled and forced him to keep his eyes locked on his. "You are Not scared, you won't remember seeing the death." He told him in a low but annoyed voice, "you're mine, you don't want to run from me, do you?"

"No." He said in a measured voice, "why would I want to run from you."

"That's what I thought." He said simply, his hand tightened slightly for a moment but Pierre just leaned into it.

"Did I mess up again?" He asked him once he could catch his breath.

"Yes. But I'm sure you'll make it up to me once we're home." He told him.

"Yes, sir." He nodded in agreement.

Thanks to this post

I now have very naughty BuckTommy thoughts:

Imagine Season 1 of 911, but Tommy gets called in to help the 118 for a month or something. And he's out and proud and having fun, and then he meets Buck.

Buck is cocky and stealing the firetruck to have sex in, and Tommy hears all of this before he has to come help the station.

Tommy introduces himself to Buck in the locker room and says "I heard you've stolen multiple times to have sex in, which is amateur hour."

And Buck is offended. "I had sex on a roof with a woman I saved hours beforehand."

Tommy leans against the lockers. "Ever taken someone to the engine depot? It's way easier to fuck in a parking lot filled with them then to steal one while on duty."

Buck straightens up. "Teach me your ways."

After their first shift together, Buck takes him out for a beer, and they end up fucking in a firetruck in a firetruck lot. Buck learned a lot that day.

"Gordon, you should get to the corner of first and Montgomery, we got a crime scene your buddy might be interested in."

Gordon glanced meaningfully at Batman, who slowly got up from his kneeling position on the ground, attention torn between the newspaper clippings the murderer had pinned to the wall and the detective. "I'll make my way there when I can, what's happened?"

"It's a fucking slaughterhouse man, Bats were pursuing the suspect and the killer took out a few of the hostages--"

"Slow down, what are you talking about? Batman's not--"

"One of them kids, Gordon." The deputy stressed. "It's a fucking disaster, Forensics almost called CPS."

"Oh hell." Gordon breathed out, pinching the bridge of his nose. Batman turned fully to stare at him, concern flaring even behind the mask. "Which one?"

"Hell if I know, kid's just standing here all drenched in blood, hasn't said a single word the entire time." The deputy exhaled raggedly. "I gotta tell you, it's starting to get a little--"

"You need to go, Montgomery and First," Gordon mumbled to Batman, pressing the phone to his vest. "One of the kids got to his latest crime scene, and..."

Batman didn't hesitate for a second, sweeping down the hall and out, the fastest and loudest disappearance Gordon had seen yet from the man.

"Evans, shut up and hand over the phone to the kid," Gordon ordered, pressing the phone back up to his ear, hoping he could offer any kind of comfort before Batman got there.

On the Order of the Phoenix

At some point in time between the third task in GoF and Harry getting picked up during the summer the Order of the Phoenix was called back into existence and subsequently moved into Grimmauld Place.

Presumably, Dumbledore vouched for Sirius' innocence around that time as otherwise I doubt Molly Weasley would allow her children in that place and Sirius would probably get attacked by three competent aurors at varying stages of their careers.

Speaking of which:

Three competent aurors with a drive to do good (as evident in their joining a militia against Riddle) learned of Sirius' innocence and wrongful incarceration. And not one of them did anything about the gross miscarriage of justice under their noses. Which sounds off to me.

We have a very young auror at the beginning of her career and a blood relation to Sirius, so overall with very limited influence on the topic in Tonks. A retired auror known to be close with Dumbledore, who is subject to a smear campaign at that point, and a known paranoid bastard in Mad-Eye Moody. And an auror established in his career in Kingsley Shaklebolt. In my eyes the most likely candidate to attempt something.

From what we see of Kingsley he is well respected in the Ministry and regarded by the Minister himself. Fudge brings him along to try and arrest Dumbledore later in the year which speaks to a certain level of social and political aptitute. Additional evidence in this direction are Kingsley being appointed magical bodyguard to the muggle PM during Scrimgeour's term and Kingsley's own election to Minister of Magic following the Battle of Hogwarts. So we can assume him to be well-connected and able to raise topics at opportune moments in a way accessible to his audience.

The Ministry at this point in time is having an awful time and has been for pretty exactly two years. Starting with Sirius' escape, which rattled faith in Azkaban, the dementors and the aurors specifically who failed to re-apprehend him. Continuing with the repeated issues with the dementors at Hogwarts. Continuing on further with the embarassment of the Quidditch World Cup being overrun by deatheaters. And finally, most recently, the desaster the Triwizard Tournament ended up being with the UK having two champions, audience-unfriendly tasks, a judge disappearing, a champion dying and finally the claims the magical world's latest terrorist was returning from the presumed dead. And of course, the initial escapee was still on the run. The Ministry was scrambling to at least appear in control of everything, both domestically and internationally. Hence the attempts to discredit Dumbledore and Harry as the other regional public figures and seize control over Hogwarts.

Kingsley could absolutely go up to the ambitious Scrimgeour, I doubt his aspirations were unknown, and suggest building a small task force to catch Sirius Black. After all, the Ministry and especially the Aurors needed a win in the public eye and with all the other things going on Black wouldn't expect it. So if he could maybe have access to all files pertaining Black? The potential for Fudge becoming the scapegoat for all the recent troubles and Scrimgeour emerging as a new and trusted leader based on achievements remains unsaid yet is understood by all.

Potentially Scrimgeour takes the idea and runs with it himself. After all, the Ministry is adamant about aurors not being actively needed at the moment, he has the time. And he reads every single document on the case Black. Including any trial records and evidence filed. Which is astonishingly little.

Concerningly little.

Promisingly little.

Especially since Fudge was personally involved in the case and has been publicly bragging about it (see PoA in the Three Broomsticks). So it would very naturally reflect badly especially on Fudge and his administration if Black's guilt were to be re-exmined. And Scrimgeour himself would not only be a fresh face, but one righting the wrongs of his predecessors. With the support of a notorious house if the only surviving bearer of the name Black owed him a favour. It would also neatly subvert the issue called Potter. He'd probably be very busy getting acclimated to a new godfather if custody was transferred from that muggle family. Fewer claims of a second coming of that bloody bastard. All the better. Smear campaigns against children were never a good look on anyone. Now to get that innocence established, weren't there statements Fudge ignored last year...

Kingsley is very happy to stand back and watch self-interest get the right thing done. Scrimgeour would remember who gave him the idea and the Order would gain a powerful supporter and fighter. Wins across the board in his book.

TL;DR: Kingsley not doing something about Sirius' innocence is bullshit. Especially not when at that point everybody was ready to see Fudge go and establishing Sirius as innocent would be a perfect thing for him to fall over. Political intrigue accidentally fixing problems ensues

I know the context here is a little different but imagine being dragged like this by a lightly frantically jogging nick stokes

“You stay with me! Stay with me!”

From an explosion, a killer, a fire, any sort of emergency or hell—maybe even running for the sake of running on an adventure cause he’s just so excited to take you to wherever it is y’all are going—blood is pumping, heart is racing, your vision vibrating in and out of focus but you see Nick clear as day, and when the running is done you run into him, into his arms and he just grabs you and says,

“You’re safe now.”

Once is random

Marinette is livid. No one really paid attention to Marinette’s claims that Lila is actually making things up. Lila is so nice, why would she lie? And besides, Marinette is the only one who thinks Lila isn’t telling the truth, she has to just be jealous of her, right?

Twice is a coincidence

Nino looked disheartened, when asked he would say Lila lied about him. Apparently she claimed to be friends with dj at a recent party and was the one who got him the gig. That dj was actually Nino, who got the gig himself. It’s weird that it happened but maybe Lila just got confused? The class is uneasy now.

Three times is a pattern

Lila is terrified. Juleka came forward to let them all know about the falsehoods Lila made recently. Suddenly, Lila was exposed about her lies of kitty section, and with that crack in the dam, the others came forward again with their claims. The class couldn’t continue to ignore it anymore, Lila is deceiving them and she’s using their fellow students. Three was all it took to topple her off her pedestal, Lila should have taken more care of who she used in her lies.

(Edit to add that I got the idea for the “Lila getting exposed cause Nino is a dj thing” from a post by @princess-of-the-corner when I was scrolling through the tag, I don’t wanna take undue credit)

I imagine Patton knows exactly what kind of hugs people need.

He knows that Roman likes the kind of hugs where you slowly dance around in circles while hugging. Patton and Roman spend a lot of time hug dancing and humming. They do that every time Roman has creative block. After dancing for a bit, Roman gets an idea and sprints to his room, and Patton smiles in his direction.

Remus likes attack hugs. The ones where it happens out of nowhere. That almost always ends with them on the ground in a tickling match. When Remus isn’t being quite himself, Patton will jump at him and stay there till he smiles and seems like himself again.

Though Logan likes to say he doesn’t like hugs, he does appreciate a quick shoulder hug. Patton knows exactly how long Logan is comfortable hugging. Sometimes it’s just a one second hug, but when he is stressed, Logan will linger a bit longer, and Patton will stay as long as Logan needs.

Deceit also says he doesn’t want people to hug him, but he will occasionally sit down next to Patton and lean his head on his shoulder. Patton knows that that is Deceit’s way to ask for a hug, so Patton will put his arms around him, and they will sit like that until Deceit hears someone. Then he moves to the opposite side of the couch. But he remembers to shoot Patton an appreciative smile.

Virgil needs the kind of hugs that are tight. The hugs that remind you that someone is there for you. Patton will give him a comfortable squeeze for as long as he needs. He will happily drop everything to sit with him. Virgil and Patton can sit on the couch locked in that kind of embrace for hours, cuz sometimes you just need that reminder.

Patton honestly just likes hugs. It doesn’t matter what kind of hug. He just wishes he could be on the receiving end a bit more.
