"so i have to ask," she began slowly, quietly, her voice a little sore from the screaming that had eventually taking over her throughout the past thirty-size some-odd hours. her voice was certainly raspy and slowed by her body's demand to continue to catch her breath. "you're not in a rush to finalize all of this are you?" she finished as she reached behind her and grabbed the knotted sheet somewhere around her bare bottom, tugging it over the two of them once more. "because i really don't want to just dive into planning and have it consume my whole life. this is something fun, something wonderful, and i'm thinking we should draw it out until there's nothing left to do but say 'i do'." she said honestly as her hand returned to it's previous position and she gauged his reaction to her words. "i've just seen too many people get lost in the ceremony and forget why they're actually there and i don't want that to happen with the two of us." created by ADE! Pb-ified by WILL

How could you ever be so in love with someone? That nothing else mattered? Not from the big game on the television that you used to watch every year, to a big move in your career. All Leonardo knew right now was he was the happiest man alive, people could try and come above him but it wouldn’t work, he loved Ryan Dubois and he was happy that she said yes to him, she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him, and he was so blessed to have someone like that in his life. He currently lay on his back, his body drenched in sweat. His lungs tried to grasp as much air as they could before he realised that he and Ryan had been hidden away from the world for quite some time after he proposed to her. He watched her as she pulled her hair to one side and then moved her arms to cross his chest and leaned on her hands, looking at him. He smiled back softly to her, his chest heaving a little, raising her ever so slightly as he regained himself. He had been loving the whole affection he was getting from her right now, it defiantly more of their kind of affection, sex was very familiar for them, they were just one of those really sexual couples, and he loved it.

He had not been able to think about how long they wanted to wait, I mean they had been very busy with their little sexual adventures around his small apartment for the last nearly two days to really sit down and think about what they were going to do, was it going to be a long engagement or a short one? Did he want to have a very big wedding and have it documented by the press? Or did he want a small one? He didn’t think about these things, he wasn’t one of those people that liked to planned things, it just seemed to be silly to plan something that always changed because life changed every second, every decision you made changed the course of life. He didn’t want to rush anything, to him she was already his wife right now, he made that commitment to her a long time ago, he made sure he was committed to their relationship and now he was committed to her for the rest of his life. He watched her face; they lay like that for at least ten minute, in silence, just looking at each other, admiring each other.

Then when she begun to speak he watched her closer, watching the way her lips moved softly. Her voice made him chuckle a little inside, she had been very vocal for the last couple of days and well, her voice was defiantly showing it right now. When she said about finalising it he looked at her before he was able to speak she was speaking once more, I guess she needed to say something and get all of it off her chest right now, he loved her for that, she was able to speak her mind and be okay with that. He felt the sheet being pulled over their lower halves before he looked her back in the eye when she stopped speaking and grinned lightly, his left hand moved to her face, brushing a stray piece of hair behind her ear and cupped the side of her face gently, thumb rubbing her cheek softly ”I don’t want to rush anything, if it feels right then we’ll do it, as long as I am with you for the rest of my life, I don’t care what else happens, a ring and a ceremony does not have to establish my eternal commitment to you.” he spoke softly like she was the only person in the world that needed to ever hear those words.

"you. know. just. the. right. things. to. say."[/] she said between kisses she managed to get out before she snuggled his bare body once again. they practically didn't need a ceremony at this point and ryan could be happy without one. just knowing how much he cared for her was enough and that was obvious in everything that he did, every word he said. hell just the way he looked at her and no one else was enough for ryan. the way he liked to look at her, like there was no one else in this world, and the way people had to actually pull him away to get his attention, it lit her up inside. and she really couldn't be happier. "oh good. i'm glad to know you at least like me." she joked with a chuckle as she rolled off of him but didn't totally disconnect their bodies, pulling the sheet up to cover herself. it wasn't a matter of modesty, because it wasn't like leo didn't already know her inside and out, it was a matter of temperature. it was cold in here. created by ADE!

Leonardo was not the kind of guy that was the best with words, but he was good at some moments, and normally it involved emotions, when he needed to be sensible and logical and kind of just say his mind, he seemed to always say the right thing, a good thing, something that makes sense and it confused him because sometimes it was difficult for him to just hold a conversation, let alone anything else. He bought her gifts and made sure that she knew that he was here for her but he didn’t saunter around with a lot of confidence, her on his arm and making sure she was wearing all the expensive clothes and jewellery to show that he was buying stuff for her, considering one of the last things he bought her was a film that she really loved and talked to him about once, he had seen it in the store and just remembered them talking about it, so he bought it, I don’t even think it cost more than ten bucks, but to see the smile on her face was enough to make him feel good about thinking something like that. He had yet to meet her mother, and honestly from what he had heard he didn’t want too, the woman had royally screwed up the woman he was going to spend the rest of his life with, he didn’t want to have to sit in the same room as her and be civil, she just wanted Ryan to be his, and never have to feel like that was going to happen to her again.

After losing his own father he decided he was going to be a better father to his children one day, his father was great, he never beat on him or anything but he did choose, he chose to love Kayleigh a hell of a lot more than Leonardo, maybe it was because Kayleigh was always the golden child, better grades, better talent, better child, Leonardo was a misfit that was trying to fit in when he was younger, and tried everything to fit in, but it never worked, so he decided to do what he wanted. His mother loved him dearly though, well she did; now she was hooked up with some rich dude somewhere in Europe, god knows what she was doing, and she didn’t speak to him anymore so he kind of allowed her to slip away. He was close with Kayleigh though and as she got more comfortable with him dating Ryan, he started speaking to her more, he was happy to have his little sister proud of him, it was a great feeling, a feeling of family. He looked out for his little sister and even though she was going through a rough time he didn’t bring her down, because he knew this was a patch she needed to go through, she was sick of losing people, so Leonardo was being the guy that was never going to leave her life, she needed someone like that, she needed her brother to just be there for her and not judge her.

As he lay with her, he allowed the free hand that was not occupied by her face, to gently rub temptingly slow up and down her back, his fingers feeling the light droplets of sweat that were still apparent on her flesh. As she kissed and spoke between each kiss he smirked before shrugging his shoulders a little, his ego kind of showing for a moment, but also his goofy side too. He had some of his friends say to him that they found it funny when they were out with him and Ryan was there, because it was like he wasn’t there, sometimes he would be watching her, just walking around, talking to people and he would be entranced by her, meaning his friends would have to drag him out of it, he was in love, it was one of his first loves, true love, of course he was going to act a little differently. When she said that at least he liked her he grinned and watched her move off his body and lay next to him, still half wrapped around him, he moved his arm so it wrapped around her shoulder before smiling and looked to the ceiling ”I need to tell Kayleigh” he said out of the blue, of course he needed to let his sister know that he was planning on getting married, even if it was not soon, before the press got their hands on it.

"mhm, you do." she said as she kissed his shoulder, her fingers finding his and intertwining before her playful side kicked in and kisses to his shoulder turned to nips, then all-out bites. "there's a lot to do now. funny how one little word changes all the priorities in life...wait i'm talking about normal people." she said with a snicker. these two would take their time. it was likely that ryan wouldn't even consider starting to put things together for a good year or so and that was just fine for her. "we're gonna have to do that whole combining thing. what was yours and what was mine will now be ours." it sounded so weird but it wasn't like they weren't practically living together already. ryan still had an apartment a few blocks away but everything there was coated in dust, the food in her fridge long since spoiled. she pretty much only went back to her old apartment to fetch more clothes or check her messages. that was it. created by ADE!

Sometimes when he was caught staring at Ryan, even he did not notice it, sometimes his eyes just wandered and lay on her, and then they were stuck, it was like she had this incredible hold on him and he just reminded himself as he was staring at her in all her beauty that he was so blessed to have her all to himself and not having to worry about someone else trying to take her away from him. They had a point just before they officially got together when she was torn between two guys, Jordan and Leonardo, he was worried at that point only because he was allowing himself to get more attached to her and that was scary enough, let alone feeling as though he needed to work harder to win her over and pull her away from Jordan. He didn’t know what he was getting into when he got together with Ryan, he mean they were like two peas in a pod, they were known for being those kinds of people that were so used to having so many different bodies to please them that they never felt like they should ever have to settle for one, but he was glad he did, and Ryan knew exactly what he wanted when they were in the bedroom, from having each other begging for it in the most odd places, like the garage when he was trying to work on his car, to him sneaking up on her when she was cooking in the kitchen, let’s just say the only time they took their hands off each other in moment like that was when something was burning.

He was glad that they had become friends first as when the sex came into the picture, it was great and all but then they were still able to mess around with each other and then the next night she could come over and they would talk about Hockey or sports in general, and he would bring takeout food to her place and they’d watch a movie, it was like they were already kind of in a relationship before making it officially, and I guess that small gradual way they went about it really helped, like now. They were engaged and he would admit it if people asked but he didn’t want to label them so he was also happy in just acting like the relationship hadn’t escalated that much at all. Jordan never really bothered Leonardo too much, or at least that would be his answer if someone asked, he did bother him when they were trying to win over the same girl, but once Ryan and Leonardo started dating, he was ok with it, they could stay friends for all he cared as long as she didn’t sleep with him, it was simple. Leonardo found that when he was finally settled he would get more attention from the women, did they think he was now a challenge? But it was odd to sit in a bar for the first couple of times and not have any women to take home, but then he found out he actually went to the bar with the boys to sit and watch the football game with a couple of beers, instead of scoping for chicks all of the time, because he knew he had exactly what he wanted waiting for him when he got home.

Leonardo actually found out that he didn’t need more than one woman, Ryan gave him everything he wanted and women then became friends to him and though they were not the best for him conversation wise because they were more bothered about what they wore, it was nice to just speak to a few, he lacked the ability to talk to woman, chatting women up was completely different, but to just sit there and talk, that took some getting used to. As they lay in bed together he watched her intertwine their fingers together before nipping his shoulder and he looked down on her, grinning, he did make her smile every single moment he was with her, this is what love felt like and he was definitely letting himself get lost in it. Then she spoke about their lives changing and so forth before he shrugged his shoulders and looked around the room for a moment ”It’ll be easy, I have the best partner in crime to go through all of this with, I have no worries” he smiled before kissing the top of her head and snuggled against her a little more, loving the feeling of the warmth that radiated off her naked skin. Then she said about the combining thing before he looked over to her and nodded lightly ”It’ll be hard for me to say that my baby is ours, I think that is the only thing I will have to keep to myself” he winked speaking about his car before shifting his weight and sat up a little more, his hands moved down Ryan’s waist before pulling her up and over his lap, allowing her to straddle him. ”But these are mine” he kissed her lips, before letting his hands run slowly up her back, around her shoulder and down her arms before taking her hands and placing them on his chest ”And I am all yours” he grinned before kissing her lips again ”You do know we have not left this place in forever, people are going to think we are dead.”

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, background-color: dddddd; border: #cccccc solid 8px; width: 420px; padding: 15 5 15 5px;] MY HEART, MY LOVE, MY EVERYTHING The Words: 935 The Outfit: NEKKID The Notes tag: leo. there was a lot in life that ryan was willing to experience but had you told her a little under a year ago that this is where she would have ended up, ryan would have told you that you were nuts. she hadn't ever wanted something like this in her life. she hadn't ever wanted to be tied down because she'd had all the wrong feelings about what it meant to date. there had been a bunch of boys in high school who had wanted a little taste, which ryan hadn't been all too slow to give them, but it always happened that they wanted more for some reason or another. for the longest time ryan couldn't understand it. maybe it had been some kind of competition thing. in fact something like that wouldn't have surprised ryan. she made herself only available for one thing and one thing only and that seemed to bug boys. the fact that they hadn't been enough to make her come back, crawling on her knees or something had been a major kick to the ego. ryan of course couldn't be bothered with such childish games. she had better things to do with her time than to get wrapped up in the hidden meaning behind a gesture or something so frivolous. you see ryan wasn't your everyday chick. she hated small talk. she hated chit chat. she hated being the center of attention. she wasn't the type to need the limelight on her twenty-four seven. she wasn't the type to need to bathe in the attention of the opposite gender to be happy. she was simple, uncomplicated fun and she preferred to keep it that way. it was one of the things that had made hanging out with leo so much fun. he had been expecting, at least somewhere in the back of his mind, someone a little more demanding who maybe twirled some stray hair around her finger and popped her gum super loud. ryan was happily more of a guy's girl. she pigged out on hot wings and fries the same way he did. she jumped up and screamed with joy when her team scored. she wasn't afraid to throw a few curses in the direction of the tv either. she had fun with the life that was given to her and she had figured for the longest time that stepping into that unknown, taking the leap to domestication-dom was bound to put a strain on anything she'd ever known to be fun. she was glad to be wrong. sure ryan didn't do nearly as much as she used to back in her partying days, but that was because those were her partying days. ryan had gotten to a point where she didn't need that anymore in order to be happy. the whole reason for ever hitting the clubs in the first place was so she could find someone to warm up her bed for the night. now that she had leo, a bed warmer was hardly necessary. she could have fun at parties if she wanted to but truth be told she didn't see much of the appeal anymore. she had all that she wanted right in front of her and she didn't need anything else. she was glad to see though that the feeling was mutual and that she wasn't the only one who thought that toning it back was a good idea. leo had taken to doing so as well. ryan liked that. she liked that knowing that aside from a little boys time that he liked spending most of his time with her and that he didn't need a lot of outside companionship to feel truly happy. that was a really, really nice feeling. it helped that he just looked happy too. ryan didn't have to question what he might be feeling at any point in their relationship. she always knew just by looking at him what he really felt. it was a sense of security, the fact that she could openly see that he didn't want anyone but her and that kept her from being one of those deranged kinds of girlfriends, err fiancées, who watched their significant other's like a hawk. "it'll be easy, i have the best partner in crime to go through all of this with, i have no worries" she felt the press of his lips against her forehead and looked up at him with a smile. "you know i like the sound of that. partner in crime. sounds like we're ready to do some really naughty things." she hinted with a smirk. she couldn't help but to role her eyes at him as she found herself on top of him once more. "alright, try this on for size. i get forty-nine percent of the baby, not an owner's share, if you get forty-nine percent of titan." she would of course never claim ownership over that car. she wouldn't want to take something so special from him. "or, i get the back seat, which you are free to share with me any time you like." boy she just couldn't get enough of him tonight. she kissed him back over and over again, her kisses fumbling slightly because she couldn't hold back the smiles. "yeah, but no one's come knocking at the door looking for us so i don't think the missing person's report has gone out yet. we'll resurface when it does." she mumbled as she leaned back into him kissing him hard as her hands cupped the nape of his neck, pulling his mouth to hers with eagerness. created by ADE!

A lot of people thought that Leonardo was not going to settle down, and to be honest for a very long time he was convinced that he wasn’t going to settle down either, he was just not that kind of guy, he was so used to just doing what he wanted and sleeping with whoever he liked, that settling down didn’t really pop into his head that often, and when it did, he was thinking more when he was around thirty five or something. Leonardo had been and was kind of not the ladies man at the same time in high school, he attracted a lot of attention from the women but for the wrong reasons. He was just that loner boy that sometimes would turn up to the big parties and people loved his mysterious ways and it got him laid, he didn’t care, at that time in his life he was only bothered about passing his classes and sleeping with women, he normally went with people older than him. It was more because people of his own age were too obsessed with being in a relationship with the other person and they felt too young to be getting involved sexually with people, he just didn’t give a shit, he knew how life went, you grew up, you fuck people, you get fucked over and then you die, he was kind of set of living his life that way, but then Ryan came into his life and now he was confused, but it felt so right, and he was going with what his heart was telling him.

He had a few women in his life that tried to rub themselves in his face, he would bang them and then because they wanted more from him, they would be with other people, flirting with other guys and doing it right in front of his face, it was great to see him though, as he would do the same thing back to them, it was his way of putting his middle finger up and not giving a shit. He liked Ryan though from the second he met her, he liked being able to get take out with her and just sit in front of the television all night, watching sports or some movies and just pig out and be himself around her. His partying days were over, unless some massive drama was going to come into his life and ruin everything for him, but he was hoping that was never going to happen, because he was happy. So right now he was pretty content with going out with the boys to catch the football on Thursday nights or something, he was still male and he still needed his own space, and he allowed Ryan to do the same, she could go and do whatever she wanted to do with her friends, male or female, he trusted her. Leonardo was ready for this and he was happy that she was going to be the woman that was going to go through the rest of his life with him, he was ready for that adventure, finally he was going to live it and he knew deep inside that he had chosen the right person to come with him.

He lay with her, his lips pressed against her forehead for a moment as she spoke about his comment on being partners in crime. He then pulled her onto his lap and was grinning like a naughty little school boy up at her before answering ”I am always up for anything naughty with you beautiful fiancée of mine” he smirked looking all happy and cheery with him, sometimes he forgot that he was actually a full grown man that would soon (meaning a couple of years) be hitting the thirty range in his life, someone should have told him that you were meant to grow up, but this was so much more fun. Then when she begun negotiating with him about the car and her dog Titan he listened to be, pouting a little as he let her words settle in his mind before hearing her speak about the back seat, the man had only ever had sex in the back of a car a few times, but that didn’t mean that he was willing to do it again with Ryan. ”Forty nine percent?” he acted like he was thinking of the proposition before grinning and nodded lightly ”Deal done, and you can have the back seat, only if I’m there and we are both naked” he smirked before winking lightly. Feeling her lips on him over and over again, he just grinned into them. He laughed a little when she said about no one coming to find them before he shrugged and held the middle of her back as she kissed him hard, trying to contain himself a little more.

He allowed his lips to explore hers, the feeling of her against him made his skin all on edge, he loved her so much. When he finally got a moment to free his lips from his, he kept his forehead pressed to hers, hands slowly gliding over her skin before sighing gently ”I’m actually going to have to be organized for once if we ever do plan the wedding” he grinned and laughed lightly, Leonardo normally needed someone to organize his life before he was just so laid back that he didn’t care what happened, as long as he was where he needed to be when he needed to be there.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, background-color: dddddd; border: #cccccc solid 8px; width: 420px; padding: 15 5 15 5px;] MY HEART, MY LOVE, MY EVERYTHING The Words: 1,140 The Outfit: NEKKID The Notes tag: leo. she loved the feeling of his body against hers. something about it just felt so right. first and foremost was the fact that she fit against him like a glove. for a woman with a whole lot of fight in her, ryan was a tiny little thing. she wasn't more than five foot six and she weighed just over one hundred pounds. she was tiny but she'd had to put up with a whole lot from the world. she definitely had a big personality to boot. but leo engulfed her. the sheer size of his body next to hers made her look almost like a toddler standing next to her father. did that matter to ryan? of course not. all she cared about was what it felt like to be around him and that was well enough for her to not have a single concern in her mind. she loved that she could curl against him and feel just how much he wrapped around her. there wasn't ever a time when, in his presence, ryan didn't feel safe. she always felt like she could take on the world with leo at her back. because lord knew that if ryan couldn't handle a situation then leo would be right there ready to lend a hand. he knew he didn't need to come in and save the day, sweeping the damsel in distress off her feet, but he was there to offer a strong shoulder when she needed it. most of the time that came in the form of her nightmares and flashbacks. ryan still got them. every once in a while she would wake up in a daze or she'd be shaken awake and remember that she was still screaming. what had happened to her had been no minor incident. it had been a big factor as to why her life had totally turned in on itself and it was likely that those memories were never going to go away. they especially weren't bound to go away because ryan attributed the agonizingly hard times to the reason she turned her life around in the first place. her trauma had caused her to want to have someone close to her and as such she had let leo in and let him be the person to stand behind her and be that strong factor in her life that inspired her to keep chugging along. she could never thank leo enough for all that he'd given her and she certainly hoped that he knew just how very much she loved and appreciated him. even in the realm of short-lived celebrity relationships ryan couldn't see her ever hating leo if something came about where they just couldn't be together anymore. of course she wasn't looking for that day to come at all. ryan was working under the impression that they would be together forever, mostly because ryan couldn't think of a time when she wouldn't want him around. did she need him? in a way yes but ryan didn't live her life thinking that it would end without him. there wasn't an obsessive need for him to be there in order for her life to feel whole, but she did want him there. it was a conscious decision to want his presence to be near her always and in ryan's opinion that was bigger and better than any need there was out there. she needed food, she needed water, but those were things that she would die without, things that she would become desperate enough to keep. leo wasn't her life's blood. she could live without him if that was the way it had to be, but the fact of the matter was that if ryan had a say she would always want him to be there, in her life and by her side. maybe that didn't sound as impressive to most people but to ryan it made sense. need made it sound like a much more crazy desire than the want to have him there, the want to be married to him, the want to grow old with him and maybe have a family some day with him. that was something she would want for and with leo harrison but need was something that a human should never fill the void of. need was the reason why her mother had gone insane. she had needed her husband around in order to feel like her career was going somewhere. she certainly hadn't married him because she had wanted him to be around and that was where ryan made the delineation between true feelings and just plain obsession. she didn't want that in her life. she wanted leo in her life always, and that was the only way it ever needed to be. "and you know just how naughty i can be." she tempted him back, propping her arms up on either side of his head, just before his shoulders, stretching out on top of him like a feline. she certainly felt like a satisfied kitty right now, though she really was more of a dog person. she chuckled as he agreed to the deal, a bright smile lighting her lips. "oh good. because that was exactly what i was hoping you'd say." leo seemed to be trying to reel in his craving for more but ryan was a sucker. she just couldn't seem to help herself right now. ryan couldn't help but to chuckle as she noticed little lines of strain as leo pressed his forehead to hers, doing his damnedest to fight temptation and just get back to igniting the sheets like they'd been doing like crazy. he seemed to want to talk though which was a nice change from someone who usually didn't do as much. ryan toned it back a little, resting her head on his chest once more and nodding. "yeah but we've got time for that. i want to enjoy being engaged and one of the best parts about that is the fact that you don't have to just jump right in with the venue, the date, the cake, the color scheme." she sighed just thinking about it. the stress alone was enough to make her just want to run to a justice of the peace and do things the easy way. "what if we used a planner? someone who could give us all the options but who could deal with all the stresses and the hair pulling and whatnot? i don't think there's anyone out there who would like to plan for as long as we wanna wait but you never know right? unless, do you think we have some friends who might think that sort of thing was fun? i'd say holly but with the baby she's probably too busy to want to take on something like that." created by ADE!

For the longest time Leonardo knew he wasn’t the biggest guy out there, he worked with dudes that were three times bigger than him in most ways, he was just an average guy, and he actually found out that if he never got his charm and his wit that he probably wouldn’t have as many girls hanging off him, because women seemed to go for the bigger and stronger dudes these days. It never made him feel different, he never hit the gym because he wanted to look as bulky as his best friend Jeremy Garcia, he didn’t give a shit, he was healthy and happy, and that was all he really cared about. Leonardo loved how confident his fiancée was, he loved that when she needed to tackle something she could, by herself but he was always in the background to ensure she was ok, he had this bad thing that when he got involved it normally ended with at least one fist being thrown, he was not much of a verbal kind of guy, he couldn’t say what he needed to say to get anger off his chest, he used violence but he was in the army, you had to have that stone cold brick wall in front of you at all times, you couldn’t get that close to teammates because it got harder when you have to watch them suffer in battle, emotions didn’t work in war, so that was probably why it took him years to finally regain some of his.

The male had been witnessed to the nightmares that Ryan had gotten throughout their time together, it did frighten him at points, but then he had and still went through the same thing and he would just sit with her and make sure she was ok, this was how genuine these two really were, after everyone thinking they wouldn’t work, they just didn’t care, they cared about each other and that was all that mattered to him, he needed her in his life and she needed him, it wasn’t that kind of needy where he needed to know where she was all the time, but she brought him happiness, along with his career, they just worked. He couldn’t see them breaking up but I guess a lot of people got that way and then the love suddenly disappeared, but he knew that at least they were both willing to work at their relationship if anything happened, so that was always a bonus. As she said how naughty she could be, a smirk appeared on his lips before his hands rested in the arch of her back as she stretched out, she was so damn beautiful, he couldn’t believe it half of the time, he felt so lucky to have fallen in love with someone who was beautiful inside and out. Then they spoke about the car, the back seat and being naked, when she agreed to that his smile only grew before he bit his lip as their forehead pressed close and he tried to keep himself from just grabbing her and having his way once more with her, she was so tempting, all of the time, his own personal drug.

Then she spoke about the wedding once more, he nodded lightly before leaning his head back against the headboard and looked at the ceiling for a moment as she carried on speaking, allowing the words to sink in before turning his head back to her and grinned ”I’m sure anyone would do it, I can afford it even if it was really long term, no one says no to long term money. Holly would be good at it, but then as you said, the baby could be an issue, I might just run it by Jeremy and see if he could make a subtle hint to her. Worth a try” he grinned, now his mind was flicking to all the people he wanted to tell, of course his sister was on the top of that list, his mother could go fuck herself, and then it would probably be Jeremy and Bianca, who were his closest friends, after that, he didn’t really care. The press was going to catch wind of this at some point, so he wasn’t worried about having to deal with that, at least it was a good thing he was going to be in the press for. ”At least I’m easy and as long as you get what you want and I turn up on time, then I’m good. Jeremy and Bianca are going to have too much fun with the bachelor party” he laughed a little, seeing how two completely different minds were going to work together.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, background-color: dddddd; border: #cccccc solid 8px; width: 420px; padding: 15 5 15 5px;] MY HEART, MY LOVE, MY EVERYTHING The Words: 983 The Outfit: NEKKID The Notes tag: leo. ryan was glad that she didn't have to deal with her nightmares alone. she wasn't sure how much longer of that she could stand. initially when the rape had happened, ryan hadn't been with leo. she would have never ended up in that position in the first place had she been dating but that was a different time and a totally different ryan to discuss. the ryan who had gotten raped was a party girl to say the least. she loved attention and more than that she loved being physical with people. the gender of person didn't even matter. ryan would accept just about anyone who wanted to put their hands on her and why? because she would only experience them for a night. when she wanted to be physical with someone, ryan could always find someone who would acquiesce to her request. she could always find someone willing to suffer a little bedroom romp to sate her needs. of course was it really suffering? really? ryan knew she was a good looking girl and she knew the skills she brought to the table. she knew that really the question of satisfaction was never even on the table. it was just something that was always guaranteed, even in ryan wasn't the one feeling totally satisfied come the end of the night. but for all her manic and obsessive behavior, ryan had always been sure to be safe. she kept a steady supply of condoms with her at all times and she had a prescription for a birth control that was like the atom bomb of birth controls. money was no expense when it meant safety and ryan was a safety girl, always had been. if a guy didn't have protection and her supply was diminished, then nothing was happening. that was just the way she operated and it had worked so well for her up until this point. she saw no reason to change that until she was sure that she wanted to try her hand at something else. now that they were on that path to marriage it was inevitable that more big-ticket, serious items were going to come up in conversation. did ryan really know how to handle that? no, not at all. she wasn't a girly girl. she didn't like talking her man's ear off while he made subtly little grunting noises intermittently in order to keep her thinking that she was listening. ryan was just as quiet, especially about the serious stuff, as most of the men she'd known and befriended. ryan was honestly unsure as to whether or not she could do the kid thing. it scared her. the possibility of always ending up like her mother frightened ryan beyond belief, but at the same time ryan had to believe that what she had with leo was a totally different animal that what her mother and father had experienced. there hadn't been a lot of love there. for ryan and leo there was a lot of love. ryan wasn't marrying leo just to get a taste of his fame. she'd had plenty of that since they'd started dating and the thought of strangers prying into her private life made her squirm. she definitely didn't want to be in that kind of limelight intentionally. it being a side effect of the relationship she chose, that was fine, but leo knew full well that the paparazzi stalking them was not the reason why ryan wanted him. in fact had she felt any less close to him it would have been the end of their relationship. it was just too weird walking down the street and people knowing things about her they shouldn't. like people asking if titan's stool test came up positive because paparazzi caught pictures of her scooping poop into a test cup and taking it to the vet. ew. there was a limit to the things other people needed to know without ryan telling them and had she felt any other way about leo, that might just be a factor. though for once, ryan had to admit, she was glad leo was feeling chatty. this wasn't an easy subject for her to talk about so it was nice that he was contributing and she didn't have to carry the entire conversation by herself. this was a give and take thing after all. she couldn't do this on her own and really, ryan wouldn't let him go through a whole serious conversation like this without adding some input. at leas they'd done their best to subconsciously not make thing situation even more serious. they were naked after all. she nodded as he spoke. he was right, but the idea of him paying for the whole thing bothered her. after all, traditionally the bride's side was supposed to pay for the wedding. "you're not paying for the whole thing leo. i won't let you." she fidgeted slightly. "but depending on how long we want to wait said baby won't be a baby any longer? i don't know. i mean the least we could do is ask. if she's not into it then we'll pick a professional or something." she said "we" and "we'll" but really ryan was thinking in terms of what she would do. she wasn't going to let him take this all on when it was her family that should be doing the heavy lifting. of course ryan didn't want her mother having any part of this. she didn't even want the woman to know what was going on in her life. bad enough she'd run into her some few months ago. "just as long as you don't have too much fun at the bachelor party." ryan cautioned with a smirk. he was no dummy, and she knew that, but ryan wasn't afraid to leave this all in the dust if he hurt her. "no hangover reenactments, please." created by ADE! Pb-ified by WILL

Leonardo heard about the rape a little while after it actually happened, he read it in the papers first, considering I don’t think Ryan would be able to tell him herself, it was very stressful for him to find something like that out, it made him angry, seeing as the woman had been a good friend of his and he didn’t like it when bad things happened, though no one really did. He never really spoke to her about it, he acted the same around her when he finally did go and see her, though instead of beer and pizza for their movie nights, he would bringing ice cream too, apparently girls like that shit. Then when he brought her one she didn’t like, he stopped bringing ice cream and just more pizza, he knew what pizza she liked. He knew that she also had slept with women before, that was kind of a turn on and off, he knew his own sister was bi sexual and that took him a few months to get used too, he was an army servant, he was moulded into a tough guy that was used to everything just being normal, man and woman and everything like that, he didn’t care to be honest who was fucking who these days, and their genders, he just realised that people deserved to be happy.

He could get laid, Leonardo was pretty much the master of having a bunch of women that wanted him, the great thing was that he wasn’t much of a partier, he would just go to a certain place, find a girl that was good enough for the nice and then take her home and bone her, sure he’d been rejected in his time but it wasn’t hard for him to move onto the next girl and by the end of the night, he was pretty much set. He was ready for this, all of it, the conversations everything. Though he was still pretty scared about the child thing, I mean he wanted to have children with Ryan one day, but he knew that being a parent was difficult and he didn’t want to fuck it up, he knew what Ryan had been through, he didn’t want to be a douche bag dad, he wanted to be the best possible version of himself and he thought that maybe he would have to wait for that, make sure he was ready for it, meaning he was still going to have to be careful in the bedroom even after the wedding rings were placed on their fingers.

He was doing a good job right now, he wasn’t one to keep the conversations going half of the time, but then again he normally didn’t have much to say. If he wanted to talk, he talked, he was not some dumb ass that didn’t know how to speak to people, he hooked up with enough women to know how to talk to them, he just spent his whole day talking to people and doing his job, that sometimes silence was nice to him. She said that she was not going to allow him to pay for it all before he grinned as he looked at her before shrugging his shoulders ”Not to seem like an asshole but I don’t think this is going to make much of a dent in my pocket Ryan, so I will happily pay for it, means you don’t have to deal with shit from your family” he was being honest with her, he knew she wasn’t going to want to deal with her mother or anything, so why would he make her go through that if she didn’t want too? He was going to look after her from now on. ”I’ll talk to Jeremy and then I can talk to Holland about it, I’m sure she’d look to at least help a little, depends on how busy she gets now.” then she warned him about his bachelor party before he laughed and grabbed her hips a little and shifted his weight underneath her. ”Don’t worry, I’ll be a good boy I promise” he smirked, taking one of his hands off her hips and then did a cross over his chest before returning it back to her hip. He leaned forward and kissed her gently on the lips, his hands running up and down her back.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, background-color: dddddd; border: #cccccc solid 8px; width: 420px; padding: 15 5 15 5px;] MY HEART, MY LOVE, MY EVERYTHING The Words: 1,028 The Outfit: NEKKID The Notes tag: leo. ryan never had much of a family. if her father wasn't dying on her then her mother was wailing on her. really ryan only had one woman from her past who was decently involved enough in ryan's life to be called family. that was her aunt, the one who had dropped everything to raise her. that woman had given ryan everything and done whatever she could in order to make ryan feel like she wasn't deprived. she had picked up her life and shifted it around to add a child into the mix, one with severe issues brought on by her childhood. that was a lot of ask of a person. ryan didn't want to ask that woman to contribute anything to her wedding. she had already given ryan far too much in the first place. in ryan's eyes the last thing her aunt needed to do was shell out money for a wedding. it wasn't her job. the job truly fell on her mother's shoulders. but of course this was a woman who contributed nothing to society. she had long since spent all of her money on booze and god knows what. on top of that pleasant little bit was the fact that she absolutely loathed ryan and wanted nothing more for her daughter then for her to fall in a hole and die. honestly it was a lovely sentiment. ryan was surrounded by a lot of hate in her life. the one thing she hoped for most of all was that the hate she was so used to was a part of her old life, a part of the life she had before leo came into the picture. she certainly felt differently than she ever had before. leo made her happy if it wasn't obnoxiously obvious to the rest of the world. she was smiley and bright and peppy for once in her life. real, genuine emotion, something that had been pretty much foreign to ryan growing up. she'd known all about faking it. she'd known all about putting on a good face just so people left you the fuck alone but as for actually being happy? ryan couldn't say that she had been up until this point. the part that bothered her about leo's offer was that it was supposed to be her family's burden. this was supposed to be something that, if we were in an ideal world, ryan would have sat down her family to tell them and they would have squealed with joy, hugged her, and promised to do everything they could to make her happy. that was a lost cause. ryan's father had been dead for a long time and ryan was pretty sure that if she'd told her mother that the bitch would enjoy nothing more than literally spitting in her face. ryan had never lived a proper childhood. she'd never lived a life that other people would consider normal. that didn't mean that she hadn't wanted one. what bothered her most about all of this was that she could picture exactly what she wished her family would do. she could imagine just sitting them down in the living room and telling them, planning her wedding with her mother, getting totally red-faced and frustrated when she butted heads with someone who told her she couldn't have what she wanted. it was everything that the rest of the world seemed to have but her. for the longest time ryan had felt separated from the world, something akin to an alien coming to earth and observing the ways of the native species but really not feeling included or undergoing the same lifestyle developments. it had always been hard for her to sit around as a child and hear others telling about their day to day lives. to others they were just telling ryan about their day but in ryan's eyes they were bragging. they were throwing in her face what she didn't and would never have. it had always been such a hard pill to swallow. it just bothered her that she couldn't go through life in the normal way. nothing about her life's story was predictable and in a sense that bothered her to no end. all ryan wanted since she was a child was to be one of the masses, which was impossible for someone who seemed to do nothing but stand out in the crowd. but in the end she didn't want leo picking up the slack for her family who was never there. he already had so many of his own familial problems that it just felt wrong for him to take on hers as well. sure leo wasn't going head to head with her mother, but this felt like just as big of a deal to ryan. she didn't know what to say to him. she didn't consider it him being an asshole but ryan wasn't quite sure leo understood how much she was willing to do this out of her own pocket. she would never contact her mother, that was bad enough the first time when she'd randomly run into the boozer on the street, ryan had instead planned to do this all on her own. it seemed silly since they were going to be combining themselves in marriage anyways, but it had always felt like her battle to fight. it felt like she was letting someone else do all the work for her. "if she doesn't want to then it's fine. it just seems like something right up her alley, and i know how happy she would be for you, us." she watched him make the symbol of the cross and rolled her eyes at him. "well as long as you promise." she teased before she felt his lips connect with hers once again. she rested her head on his chest as his hands wandered. what else was there really to cover right now? they'd gotten to all the basics right? "well that's about everything i think." she mumbled with a shrug. this was going to be a slow process in the first place. no sense in talking absolutely every little detail out now. right? created by ADE!
