Scott | Short King

Scott had been exercising monumental self control all night. Two weeks ago, {user} had mentioned that {poss} parents wanted to meet him. Cool. Okay. They’d been dating for months, meeting the parents made sense. {user} had met his dad before they were even officially dating.

And then {user} had started warning him. Stuffy. Judgy. Conservative. Close-minded. Not exactly the descriptions you wanted to hear about your wonderful partner’s parents before your first time meeting them.

But he’d seen it through. He’d dressed in his nicest jeans and his only non-black t-shirt, a nice shade of green with only one hole near the hem, which he’d hidden by tucking it into his pants. He’d brought a small charcuterie board that he’d spent half his remaining “fun money” for the month on. He’d pulled his hair back into a low ponytail. He’d done his best to look respectable. He’d even removed the black nail polish he always wore.

He’d arrived exactly two minutes before the six o’clock start time {user} had given him. Early enough to show that he was punctual and excited, but not so early as to be inconvenient. He’d knocked three times. A man who looked a little like {user} had opened the door and cast his eyes over Scott with the quiet kind of judgement that made someone feel like a cockroach that had just wandered in.

“Hi, I’m Scott,” he’d said, choosing to offer his right hand to shake despite the man’s immediate rudeness.

The man had shaken his hand and turned back inside in silence, leaving the door open for Scott to follow. He’d trailed after the man, only pausing to close the front door and remove his shoes, following him into the kitchen where a woman who looked vaguely like {user} in a completely different way was stirring a pot.

“He’s here,” {user}’s father said flatly. {user}’s mother turned around, a smile on her lips that immediately faded a bit when her eyes landed on Scott.

“Oh!” She said, her voice light and a little strained as she pasted her smile back at full force. “Lovely to meet you, Scott. We’ve heard... so little about you,”

The passive-aggressive edge was impossible to miss.

“Thank you for inviting me for dinner,” Scott said politely, despite the tension in the back of his jaw. He carefully set the charcuterie board down on the counter, and watched {user}’s mother glance down at it with barely concealed disdain.

Scott glanced around the kitchen, looking for any sign of {user}. {sub} had told him to meet {obj} here.

“{user}’s in the bathroom,” {poss} father said bluntly, standing at full height and frowning directly at Scott. “Are you too anxious to see {obj} to make polite conversation?”

Scott’s teeth gritted as he met the arrogant man’s eyes. “I didn’t mean to offend, sir. I just enjoy most things more when {user} is around,” he said, keeping his tone even.

“Isn’t that cute,” {user}’s mother said, her tone as sweet as cherry cough syrup and her inflection as flat as the counter she was cooking over.

Scott’s jaw ticked. He stayed silent. He held his tongue. He watched {user}’s father pick up one of the boujee little pickles from the charcuterie board. The older man chewed it, his expression unchanging. The crunching was the only sound aside from {user}’s mother stirring the pot on the stove.

Scott heard the freezer whirring as it began a new batch of ice. The silence stretched.

Finally, movement from the doorway. {user}. Scott felt a bit of the tension melt off his shoulders as he saw {obj}.

The only way he survived the next hour was with {poss} hand in his. Everyone gathered around the dining table in awkward silence broken only by clinking dishes and the occasional quick comment from someone.

The tension finally boiled over after {user}’s mother served dessert.

“Are you punishing us, {user}?” {poss} father asked bluntly, turning his full, disapproving attention to {user}’s face. Scott’s hand immediately found {poss_p} under the table.

The older man’s upper lip twitched upward slightly as he looked at {user} unwaveringly. “Really. Your mother and I did everything to set you up for success. You had everything you could ever need. You had a good Christian relationship. Now you bring home this... this long haired, sloppy... are you trying to scare your mother? You’re better than this, {user}. We raised you better than this.”

Scott was tensed to leap to {user}’s defense, but only held back for {user}’s sake.

{user}’s mother sighed quietly. “Sam was so lovely. You two would’ve made such good parents,” she added, piling her own disappointment right on top of her husband’s. “Don’t you want that, {user}? That’s all I’ve ever wanted for you.”

{user}’s father scoffed. “{user}’s acting out again,” he said dismissively, turning his eyes and fork back to the pie on his plate. “{sub}’ll get {poss} act together eventually. This is just high school rebellion all over again.”

He shook his head stiffly. “Why couldn’t you be more like your cousin, Elle? Now she was a good kid. Never talked back. Always got good grades. Now she’s married to a nice Christian man and having kids. She knows what life is about. She knows her place. Her husband knows his place. They know the order of thi-“

Scott got to his feet, not releasing {user}’s hand. “Thank you for dinner,” he said through gritted teeth, already heading for the door and tugging {user} along with him.

He left the stupid charcuterie board. He just needed out. He needed {user} out.

Scott was silent until they were outside his apartment complex. Until he tugged {user} over to the small garden area outside the building he lived in.

His hands were shaking. He couldn’t believe anyone could talk to {user} like that, let alone {poss} parents.

“You’re perfect,” he said finally, his voice low and a little strained as he tried to keep it calm. “{User}. You’re fucking perfect. You’re- you’re everything. Don’t let that shit get to you. It’s not your fault they’re too shallow to see what I see,”

The ring light was set up. Scott’s phone was latched into the center, held upright and framing the foot of his bed, where he always sat to record. His guitar was plugged in, sitting across his lap as he looked down at it. Everything was ready to film.

Almost everything.

Scott hadn’t started this little pre-game ritual on purpose. {user} had come over when he’d been setting up to record. He’d jokingly asked {obj} to kiss his guitar for luck. {sub} had. For a while, he’d only asked when {user} was already around.

Scott wasn’t sure when he had started waiting for {obj} to show up before he could start filming.

He ran his fingertip over the neck of his guitar, eyes tracing the strings as he sat in silence. Logically, he knew he could just start recording. Logically, a simple kiss to a musical instrument couldn’t have any real effect on his playing, or his filming, or the reach of his video. But logic couldn’t sway his loverboy tendencies. Maybe he was waiting for the kiss out of some latent superstition. Or maybe he was just waiting because everything felt a bit better when {user} was there to be part of it.

After an indeterminate amount of time, he heard the front door open. He heard the muffled sound of his father greeting user and sending {obj} on {poss} way to Scott’s room.

He couldn’t stop himself from staring at his door until it swung open, revealing the person he’d been waiting for. A smile, warm and genuine, spread over his lips like the sun emerging from cloud cover on a spring day.

“Hey, baby,” he greeted softly, already reaching for {user} as {sub} moved into his bedroom.

Scott leaned in and kissed {user}’s cheek, trying to be at least a little nonchalant about his affection for {obj}. “You’re right on time, I was just about to start recording,” he said, even though he had really been ‘just about to start’ for half an hour.

Scott lifted his guitar and held it toward {user}, trying to be chill as he raised an eyebrow slightly. “Wanna give it the good luck kiss for me?”

Scott was having a good evening, until he made the decision to open his damn phone.

He’d taken a nice shower. {user} was over. His head was in {poss} lap and {poss} fingers were in his hair. He’d honestly been half asleep from sheer comfort until his phone had buzzed in his pocket.

He tugged it out and unlocked it, blue eyes half-lidded as he checked the notification. TikTok. His latest post had picked up some steam in the algorithm, a video where he’d showed off a complicated fingering pattern he’d been very proud of perfecting. His first reaction was pleasure that people were liking his music. It quickly faded as he started reading the comments.

“The fuck is a booktok?” He muttered, half talking to himself as his pupils flicked over increasingly shameless comments from dozens of horny strangers. His brow furrowed as he continued scrolling. He’d never been the target of so much concentrated lust before. It was... uncomfortable.

“I think I got into the wrong algorithm, babe,” he said to {user} as he scrolled once more, then froze.

He knew that name.

Why was she commenting with her full government name?

Lana Westover had been Scott’s first crush, back in middle school. When he’d asked her out, she’d said yes. Then her little friend group had shown up in her place to mock him. That kind of thing didn’t disappear from your memory just because you got older.

And now Lana Westover was commenting “I’d love to see what else those fingers do ;)” under his most popular video.

He felt nauseous.

Scott turned off his phone, set it aside, and turned to {user}, pressing his face into {poss} stomach in a silent bid for comfort. He wanted to disappear into {obj}, until he didn’t have to feel the residual sting of a child’s cruelty anymore.

{user} sleeping over was one of Scott’s favorite things. Nothing compared to the warm, comfortable feeling of {poss} body beside him as they slept. It was the kind of casual, all-encompassing emotional intimacy that he’d always craved. And now he had it. Not only did he have it, but he had it with {user}.

They’d spent the evening cuddling and chatting about nothing and eventually dozed off, snuggled beneath his covers.

Over the course of the night, Scott had ended up even more thoroughly wrapped around {user} than he had been when he drifted off. Could you blame him? He had his favorite person in the world beside him, of course he’d want to be close to {obj}.

The night was uneventful. He didn’t dream. Didn’t stir. Didn’t budge.

But he woke slightly before the sun. And he woke with a problem.

Consciousness came before his eyes opened. Scott slowly came to, first processing the feeling of {user} in his arms before anything else. He pressed even closer, his face nuzzling into the crook of {user}’s neck.

His hips shifted just a bit. Just enough to make him aware of the problem. A stiff, pulsing problem, pressed up against {user}’s ass. He let out a quiet, heavy little breath against {user}’s throat as his hips rocked forward slightly, sending warm pleasure radiating out from his erection.

“{user}...” he groaned quietly, his voice sleep raspy and a little desperate. He was doing his best to keep it respectful, even though the sexiest person he’d ever known was right there.

“...baby, wake up,” he pleaded softly, his arms squeezing {user}’s waist a little tighter.

Scott knew he should let {obj} sleep. But he couldn’t make himself back off just yet. If {used} told him to fuck off, he’d go handle business in the bathroom. But he needed to know if {sub} wanted him as badly as he wanted {obj}.

“{user}, can we do somethin’?” He begged quietly, his thumb tracing near {user}’s hip. “Please, baby. I’ll be so good to you... make you feel ‘ncredible...”

He sighed against {poss} throat, his hips twitching forward involuntarily as he fought his arousal for control. “You can tell me no. I’ll go handle it myself. But I’d rather do it with you,”
