    Summary

    That was the way Flambae usually liked it. He likes mouthing off and being shown his place, he likes being given consequences for his actions, he likes fucking around and finding out.

    It makes no sense that Robert put him down without so much as a fight. That Flambae went down for the man who he thought ruined submission for him.

    But when Robert told him to listen, what else was Flambae supposed to do?

    Or; Flambae would rather set it ablaze with his own two hands than be caught unawares by a stray spark. Robert's steady hands are perfect for striking a match.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Robert is not smiling when he looks down at him. But his touch is still gentle when he wipes a tear from Flambae's face. There's a flare of embarrassment, as cold and chilling as a bucket of ice water. When Flambae reaches up to scrub at his eyes, Robert says, "Hands in your lap."

    It's not a suggestion. It's an order. There's something deep in Flambae's bones that wants to buck and fight against it. Something insufferable and proud, something that Flambae does not hate because it is something he has trained. Something that keeps his shoulders broad, his stance wide, and the men that he fucks happy and satisfied. Something hard fought and earned.

    But he knows it will not serve him now. And he does not have the strength to fight for it. So, he lets the feeling smoulder away, breathing out the smoke on a shaking exhale when Robert gently catches another tear in his other hand and brushes it away.

    Summary

    “So, is your new superhero name going to be Performance Anxiety Man?” Robert quirks up an eyebrow, tucking an arm behind his head so his neck isn't straining quite so much. Flambae scowls, and there goes that pretty softness to his face that Robert was just starting to admire.

    Flambae learns a new skill!

    Bookmarker's Notes

    When Victor returns that evening, he’s still there on the floor with the kitten sleeping soundly in his lap, the fire in the hearth burning low. He looks up and holds one finger to his lips, gesturing to his maker to be quiet.

    “Do not wake her,” he whispers.

    “How did you already find one?” he whispers back, bemused. “You didn’t steal her from some poor terrified child, did you?”

    “No,” he chuckles, petting her forehead gently with his thumb, admiring the inky darkness of her fur. “As it happens, Father, she found me.”

    They never do settle on a name for her; she resists being defined by one. Victor calls her ‘your cat’ when he’s feeling irritated with her, and ‘ours’ when she’s lying on his chest meticulously grooming his beard.

    Jack -
    Left to get some dinner. Didn’t want to interrupt your beauty sleep. Went to the Thai place down the street - I’m getting the same thing we got last time, I hope you like it! (If not, you can have some of mine).
    Be back soon, pretty girl :P

     

    Jack’s face flushed. Oh my God.
