(  nicholas  hoult,  cis  man,  he/him  )  🐬  ⋆｡˚  what’s  the  word  around  alexander  harvey  in  capri  these  days  ?  don’t  look  at  me  like  that,  you  know  them  —  they  go  by  alec,  you  know,  the  thirty-six  year  old  tourist.  you  can  probably  find  them  at  casa  miraflora  as  guest  where  people  describe  them  as  dismissive  and  impetuous,  but  others  swear  they’re  steadfast  and  good-humoured  if  you  catch  them  at  the  right  moment.  they  fit  somewhere  between  adrenaline  humming  under  his  skin  while  the  world  sleeps,  counting  days  but  losing  track  of  hours  and  a  heart  worn  too  openly  for  someone  raised  around  closed  doors,  though  most  people  associate  them  with  a  lucky  streak  past  its  golden  days.  °‧🫧⋆˚｡⋆

⠀⠀⸻⠀⠀𝐁𝐈𝐎𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐏𝐇𝐘. ( cw: brief mentions of #parental death and #car accident, nothing detailed! )

⠀⠀the  son  of  a  retired  formula  one  driver  and  a  french  classics  professor  who  never  quite  fit  the  circus  around  him,  he  grew  up  with  privilege,  comfort  and  a  family  name  people  never  seemed  to  leave  alone.  clarisse  taught  ancient  literature  for  a  living,  quiet  and  exacting  in  a  way  that  made  her  an  unlikely  match  for  bill  harvey;  brilliant  on  track,  impossible  off  it and already a known playboy by the time she met him. 

⠀⠀for  a  while,  people  liked  to  think  she'd  settled  bill  down.  he  was  proud  of  alec,  generous  when  it  mattered  and  present  often  enough.  then  came  another  marriage,  another  house,  another  child  in  a  newspaper  photograph  and  later  more  of  the  same.  his mother handled it with the kind of composure people praised because they never saw what it cost her. alec did. he saw enough bad days, enough attempts to put herself back together, to know he never wanted to become the sort of man who made the people he loved recover from him. he also knew, even then, that he hated waiting for anyone to choose him.

⠀⠀at ten, he told his father he wanted to race too, and bill was more than happy to put him where he needed to be, sending him to tracks between school and expecting him to keep up with both. it helped, of course, that alec was good. when a few of his half-siblings later tried to follow the same road, he made sure he stayed far enough ahead that no one could turn the family name into a shared headline. from red bull to ferrari, he built his own reputation, charming in interviews, easy with people and still much more competitive than he liked to admit.

⠀⠀then  the  last  few  years  began  to  show  on  him:  his  mother’s  death,  a  relationship  that  ended  badly  and  results  too  uneven  to  keep  brushing  off.  after  a  team  strategy  meant  to  push  his  younger,  rising  teammate  further  up  the  standings,  he  followed  the  call  just  long  enough  for  it  to  look  like  he  meant  to.  the  crash  that  followed  was  written  down  as  a  racing  incident,  but  it  left  him  with  a  damaged  collarbone  and  his team  with  enough  doubt  to  keep  him  away  from  the  grid.  now  mostly  recovered  and  on  gardening  leave  in  capri,  he's  waiting  out  the  end  of  his  contract  with  a  career  he  still  wants  and  no  clear  sense  of  whether  they're  waiting  to  bring  him  back  or  waiting  him  out.

"I'M LONGING TO LINGER 'TIL DAWN, dear, just saying this," the velvet words left red lips, amplified by the sound of the microphone propped before her. her brown irises lifted from the piano keys before her, feeding off the energy of the partygoers as adrenaline filled her system. performing gave a high no drug could replicate, there was no moment where fifi felt more alive than when she was on stage. "sweet dreams, 'til sunbeams find you. sweet dreams, that leave all worries far behind you."

she took a deep breath, preparing for the final notes as she finished out the jazz tune. "but in your dreams, whatever they be, dream a little dream of me~" the applause rippled through fifi's body, causing her entire being to glow in satisfaction. it didn't matter the size of the stage, she was found herself stealing the show and now wasn't any different. "thank you, please tip your servers and enjoy the rest of the party!"

⠀⠀alec  had  missed  most  of  the  song.  he’d  wandered  off  toward  the  water  earlier  with  the  excuse  of  needing  air.  by  the  time  he  came  back,  the  singer  was  already  at  the  last  few  lines.  he  stopped  just  in  time  for  it,  close  enough  to  see  the  red  of  her  mouth  around  the  final  note  and  the  pleased  little  glow  that  came  with  the  applause.  he  joined  the  applause  with  everyone  else,  a  second  late  but  not  half-hearted.  only  once  people  began  turning  back  to  their  drinks  and  conversations  did  he  look  away,  catching  the  bartender’s  attention  for  an  order.  he  only meant  to  glance  back  toward  the  piano  but  instead  noticed  the  singer  had  made  her  way  nearer  to  the  bar,  close  enough  now  that  he  didn’t  have  to  raise  his  voice.  “  i  almost  feel  bad  only  catching  the  end,  but  it  was  lovely.  my  mother  would've  had  opinions  about  that  song,  ”  he  said  with  a  small  smile.  “  would  you  say  that’s  one  of  your  favourites  to  perform?  ”
