Greetings everyone. Thanks for checking out my campaign. I have founded a school that takes an afro-centric view of education. Students will learn about their true history, their divine purpose and the strength that lives within them through their ancestors. Everyday will start with an early...
People often say that education is paramount in order to succeed in this world. I’ve founded a school that takes a Afro-centric approach to education. Our LESS is MORE method not only addresses the unique obstacles that our children face, but also shows them how to become independent entrepreneurs that won’t ever have to ask anyone for a job or a handout.
I’m asking for your assistance in our journey. Anything you give would be appreciated and go into changing the lives and empowering the next generation of leaders in our communities.
trick or treat!! (for the chance to ramble about Us First? if not, dealers choice! :))
i’ll do you one better here’s a snippet of chp 14
“Then, I guess we will figure out how to handle it when they get here,” Charles says and strokes the signs of exhaustion under Seb’s eyes. “I think we need a nap.”
Seb closes his eyes. “I really don’t think we have the time—“
“Nonsense,” Charles says with as much confidence as has and standing up. “I will let Lewis know and have him wake us well before your parents should be arriving. Yes?”
Seb lets out a long gusty breath and peeks at him with one eye open. Heavens, Charles thinks, I love you.
“Yes, all right,” Seb finally says, waving a hand at him. “Your wish is my command, sweetheart.”
Charles freezes and it takes Seb a moment to notice but when he does, he sits up with flushed cheeks and he clears his throat.
“Oh, sorry, I didn’t—“
“No!” Charles says, louder than intended. “No, I am just surprised. I don’t— no one has ever called me that.”
Seb’s face does that thing it does when Charles has said something that breaks his heart a little. He reaches across the bed and takes Charles’ hand, pulling it until Charles is forced to balance with a knee of the mattress. Charles expects a kiss but instead, Seb presses his lips to his forehead and Charles melts.
“Then, I will have to make up for all the times you should have been, won’t I?”
Charles feels tears prickle his eyes and he blinks rapidly to dispel them. “I would like that very much.
Charles lands on his back, his helmet coming off with the force, and his breath leaves him in a whoosh. His chest tightens and the sky turns into arched ceilings. Someone’s snarling on top of him and fingers close around his neck. He gasps and orange light flickers until the space above him takes shape and Nathaniel stares down at him with a feral grin.
oh my gosh you're writing is absolutely fantastic, this is one of my favourite fics!! I've already read it multiple times 😂 not to be too greedy but what are the other scenarios where Seb found out? And what was the conversation between Lando and Seb like? ❤️
HEHEHE thank you so much. so i have only one other scenario actually written that i may post.
and now you may have the seb and lando conversation. it’s very rough so <3
(warning for hints at suicidal thoughts)
“If you’re going to change your mind about him, you better do it now,” Lando says, before Sebastian can move to stand.
Sebastian blinks at him all wide-eyed in a way that he’s seen Charles go stupid over. Then, his face shifts into the one Lando watched leave the room to go lie to their fucking fathers.
“I’m not going to.”
Lando can’t help but scoff. It’s rude, he knows it is, especially when this man is putting his whole kingdom at risk just for them, but it’s Charles.
“It was always worse for him. He’s Overste Leclerc’s son. The only person more powerful than an overste is the king, and the Leclerc’s have always held that position. It was bad for all of us, the way people saw us, but the things they called him– the way they looked at him, like he was some…some monster hiding in his father’s shadow instead of a terrified boy who didn’t understand why the world wouldn’t show him the same amount of love he breathed into it every day. I have listened to him wonder if you could ever see him like we see him for the last three months and constantly fight with himself to keep so much inside of him just in case you turn out to be one of those people who can’t stand to look at him.”
Lando stops and takes a breath to calm the angry tremble building under his skin, closing his eyes and letting it out before meeting Sebastian’s horrified face.
“You asked him once what he was to us. He’s our heart, we would fall apart without him, but he’s the love of my life, Sebastian. Don’t pull that face, I don’t mean it like Alex means it when he says that about George…I don’t look at him like I do Antonio or Pierre, or he with you, but take away the romantic aspect of it and he is.
We have held him through states where he thought he was going to die because he couldn’t breathe. I have snuck into his bed to pass as him for his father’s night checks while he’s hidden away in Alex’s room puking his brains out because his mother forgot one of his bad foods again. We…we have pulled him back from cliffs when he’s thought that’s the only fucking way he’d ever be free–”
“Stop,” Sebastian says softly.
“No,” Lando hisses. “There is not a man I wouldn’t cut down for him, for any of them, but you are the first person he’s handed his heart to and I’m not going to let you keep it if you’re not sure. What we’ve told you isn’t even half of the shit we’ve gone through, and if you think there’s something that may change your mind, you better tell me so I can pack us up, get out, and start putting him back together.”
Lando stares Sebastian down, wishing for the first time in his life that someone was scared at the sight of him.
Sebastian doesn’t back down. He stares right back and says, “I’m sure.”
“I don’t believe you.”
“Then, I’m just going to have to prove it to you three, aren’t I?”
The door swings back open and he meets Charles’ narrowed blue-green eyes. He works his jaw and looks away. He’s not going to feel guilty for laying into Sebastian.
Charles is love personified and since he doesn’t protect his own heart, Lando will do it for him until his last breath.
Try not to browse through their posts. Let's not do that anymore. That'll only bring negative thoughts yhrough our heads. Instead let's try and preoccupy ourselves with fun things. Let us be carefree for once. Us first before them. Our health first before them. Okay?
