Did Matt give you anything for Valentine’s Day? Did you give him anything?

Techie had been staring at the rose Matt gave him for a good, solid hour. He kept sighing contentedly and running the soft pad of his thumb over the velvet petals. If only this rose were Matt; he’d touch him just as reverently.

❤️-Hold hands with my muse

“M-Matt, please,” Techie stammers, eyes wide with terror and knees knocking. It was a stupid, irrational fear: walking right through the center of this spacious lounge would not make him fall upwards into the ceiling. But something about open spaces made him want to throw up. And Matt, his darling Mattie, takes Techie’s hand and he’s not afraid anymore.

💘 -Ask my muse out on a date

There was no reason to be nervous. They’d gone on “dates” plenty before (as friends.) But this was it. Do or die. “Do you like c-caf?” he asks, sliding up next to Matt on his bed. If the answer is anything other than yes, Techie might choke on his own spit and die. He hadn’t planned what to say in the event of a negative! “We should. Uh. Get some.” He tries to look flirty… while hoping it’ll work.

💝-Have my muse kiss yours

Matt initiates their third kiss. They’re bashful around each other since the first two, and any clear lines have yet to be drawn. Are they in love? Budding friends with benefits? Neither is brave enough to ask. But Matt knows two things: 1) He’s madly in love with Techie, and 2) If he doesn’t kiss him again soon, he’s gonna die. So during an otherwise normal, every-day conversation, he leans forward and gives Techie another kiss. The kisses numbered 4-9 come soon after.

💞 -Receive a Valentines card from my muse

A small paper is slipped under his door at an unholy hour of the night. Thankfully, Techie rarely sleeps, and he pads over to the door with bare feet before leaning down to pick it up and squint. “Happy Valentine’s Day, Techie,” it says, in a very familiar handwriting. Techie’s face turns warm and he holds the card tenderly to his cheek. “Thank you, Mattie.”

If I Set the Earth Ablaze (The Dark Can’t Have Me)

Chapter 4/14

Summary: The Knights of Ren are one of the most successful punk bands of their generation. They are on the top of the world, but Kylo struggles with his own demons, which are taking their toll on the band. Destruction seems to follow him wherever he goes, and the label just can’t foot the bill any longer. Armitage Hux is an image wizard. He can salvage the reputation of even the most reckless of celebrities. Or at least he thinks he can, until he’s hired by the label to fix Kylo’s public image and get him to step in line. Both men are stubborn and used to getting what they want. Sparks fly as they butt heads and put each other through their paces, but as Kylo’s control continues to slip, could Hux’s influence be exactly what he needs?
