Notes: So when I suggested a Reunion prompt for [personal profile] carrythefire there was a slight idea in the back of my head that’s kinda stuck so I’m doing this to get it out (the Atreyu thing is contagious!) originally this thought was gonna be the reunion side but I decided it’s best to show how they were before too. And then the ending became a whole extra thing oop
(I’ll edit in pics later I’m too tired to now)

Part 1

“Now, I expect you to be on your best behaviour and show these guys the same respect you’d show me.” Alex hissed in Brandon’s ear as he shoved him down the backstage corridor. “Even that insufferable prick of a singer. You understand?”

“Yes Alex.” Brandon replied softly, knowing he didn’t really have a choice in the matter.

Alex grinned, then pushed open the door to Bullet For My Valentine’s dressing room. The four of them were all there and Matt gave them a slightly annoyed look at being interrupted. “Sorry for the intrusion guys, but I just wanted to show you guys some appreciation for bringing us on tour with you.”

“Oh?” Matt’s expression instantly changed, at the mention of appreciation. “And what did you have in mind?”

“My drummer here.” He patted Brandon on the back, as if they wouldn’t know who he was. “Is quite the cocksucker, so I thought that you might appreciate using him for to yourself.” Brandon felt his cheeks heat up at his words and he found that he couldn’t even look at the other men.

“Well I’m not one to turn down a free blow job.” Matt replied and he could practically hear the way he was grinning. “And I’m sure Moose and Padge would be appreciative too.” He heard murders of agreement from the other two men and he couldn’t help but glance over at Jay, wondering why his name was left out. “But as for Jay, he’s more interested in slurping dick.” Now it was the bassists’s turn to blush and look away. “So why doesn’t he suck you instead as an exchange of sorts. After all you have been a decent opening act.”

“Thank you. I’d love to.”

Brandon heard Matt click his fingers at Jay, who gave him his full attention. “Go on then, do what you’re best at.” Jay merely nodded and moved across the room over to Alex, while Matt stepped closer to Brandon. “As for you, get on your knees. You’re getting my dick first.”

“Yes sir.” Brandon nodded, sinking down to his knees in front of him, bringing his hands up and undoing his flies. He felt a little nervous, as this was the first time Alex had decided to share him with someone and he knew he would have to do good job as he had a feeling he’d be punished if he did.

Brandon pushed Matt’s pants and boxers down to reveal his dick. He was a similar sort of size to Alex, which was to say he was very small. That definitely explained his attitude as well. He hadn’t spent much time with the Bullet guys, despite being on tour with them, but Matt seemed to have the same ego that Alex did. He didn’t think on it much more though, parting his lips and taking him fully in his mouth.

The fact he was the same size of Alex meant he knew exactly what to with him, employing the same technique he’d use for him. He kept his lips tight around the base of the Welshman’s cock, twisting his tongue around it him. As he was so small he didn’t bother to move, staying where he was and giving him his best needy look.

Above him Matt was smirking, loud moans leaving his lips. “Oh he’s definitely good with his mouth.” His hands were in Brandon’s hair, gripping onto it and holding him in place. Brandon moaned, drooling a little around him like he knew Alex liked and Matt let out another moan. “Fuck, he’s loving it, don’t worry I’ll give you what you want soon.”

Brandon, licked around his cock and he could already taste salty precum on his tongue. He increased his suction a little more and the grip on his hair tightened, Matt letting out a loud groan as he shot down his throat. Brandon easily swallowed it all down, making sure to keep a smile on his face when Matt pushed him off his dick.

“I can see why Alex keeps you around.” He smirked as he breathlessly pulled his pants back up, stepping aside. “Moose you’re up.”

The band’s drummer stepped into view and he was undoing his pants so when he was in Matt’s place he had his dick out. He was bigger than Matt, which admittedly wasn’t saying much, but he was a decent size. Brandon offered him a slight smile, then took him into his mouth.

Like with Matt, Brandon was able to take him fully in one go, although this time he moved up and down along him, making Moose groan. He was quieter than Matt and, when his hands found their way to Brandon’s hair, he just stroked instead of holding his head down.

Brandon set his own pace, bobbing along his cock steadily while also twisting his tongue against his shaft. Every movement made the other moan and he was glad that at least he had a bit more stamina than Matt so he could at least get into it more.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw that Jay was on his knees just like he was, with his lips around Alex, making him moan loudly. His hands with in Jay’s hair, holding his head down in place and he was pretty sure that he would be cumming soon.

Moose’s hands in his hair tugged on his hair and he returned his full attention to sucking him off. “Fuck you really are good with your mouth.” Moose groaned above him, his hips jerking against his face. “You better swallow it all down.” Brandon nodded as best he could, bracing himself as he squeezed his lips around him.

It took a few more bobs of his head until Moose was shooting into his mouth. He swallowed every drop of the salty fluid, keeping his mouth open wide when Moose slipped from his lips. “Good boy.” He whispered, giving his hair a pat before stepping away and it made Brandon feel strange to be praised like that. Alex hardly ever gave him any praise at all, even from performing, and the simple praise made him long for more.

Before he had chance to think anymore on it Padge stepped took Moose’s place. His dick was already out and he suspected he’d been jerking off watching them. He was even bigger than Moose and Brandon wondered if that was the reason he’d been left till last. Padge gave him a slight smile, which Brandon returned, before getting to work on him.

He wasn’t able to take him down fully right away, but after a few bob’s of his head he had his lips wrapped around the base. He gave it a squeeze with his lips, enjoying the stretch of it, then he resumed sliding up and down along his length.

As Padge moaned above he started humming around, looking up at him and enjoying the look of pleasure on his face. The guitarist’s eyes were half lidded, his lips parting from every moan that left them and Brandon felt a slight surge of pride that he was causing him to look like that. Somehow it felt more satisfying seeing Padge look that way than it ever did with Alex, same with how Moose, or even Matt had looked earlier. He now wished that Alex had let him be used like this sooner, or if this would be a thing that would happen on other tours.

At the start of this he’d hoped it would be a one off but now?

One of Padge’s hands went to his hair, tangling in his locks as he moaned. “Fuck Brandon…” His hips thrust against the drummers face and he was cumming, painting the back of his throat just like his bandmates before him. He patted his hair, a wide smile on his lips as he pushed Brandon’s head off his cock. “Thanks that was…”

He didn’t have time to enjoy or process the praise as Matt pushed him away and for a moment Brandon wondered him he’d have to suck the frontman off again. There was a smirk on his face, a glint in his eyes that made him feel unease, because it was so similar to what he saw from Alex. “We were thinking that you cocksuckers had deserve a little fun together.” Alex came into view, dragging Jay over by the hair.

“Yeah, we want you both to kiss.” Alex grinned as he dragged Jay over until he was in front of Brandon. His eyes were slightly teary from the rough treatment and he felt a bit sorry for him. “Go on, do it.”

It was Jay that leaned in as soon as Alex let go of his hair, his lips brushing against Brandon’s. Brandon parted his lips, letting Jay slip his tongue into his mouth. The kiss was completely unlike anything from Alex, who just used the rare kisses he gave Brandon as a sign of dominance. It was almost shy and he wondered if Jay was as unused to kisses as he was.

The moment was ruined a bit by the way he heard Alex and Matt jeering at them, though Brandon tried to ignore it. He lapped at Jay’s tongue, tasting the remnants of Alex’s cum on it, as he was sure Jay could taste his bandmates. As they kissed Brandon reached up, trailing his fingers down Jay’s chest, an action that Jay mirrored. Brandon groaned against his lips as his fingers arrived at Jay’s crotch, feeling his bulge and he felt bigger than he had expected. Jay gasped against his lips as his fingers arrived at Brandon’s cock, his eyes going slightly wide.

He felt Jay slowly undo the zipper of his fly as they kept kissing, tongues lapping at each other and there was something about his touch that made Brandon ache. When his zipper was fully undone Jay got his dick out and only then did he break the kiss, his eyes widening again. “You’re so big.” He whispered, his voice soft as he looked at him.

Brandon felt himself flush at the look he was being given, feeling embarrassed by it. He was easily the biggest dick in the room, but he hadn’t used it. Alex did his best to ignore it, calling him a freak whenever he did acknowledge it.

“You must really like sucking dick to be doing this when you’re so packing… I’d love to take it sometime.” Jays voice was soft and his voice sounded so awed. Was he drooling? Brandon wasn’t sure if he was it if it was just from the kiss.

“Enough of that.” Alex growled, his hand suddenly in Brandon’s hair, yanking him away. “Put that freakish thing away and get all such thoughts out of your head, we’re leaving.” Brandon flushed and tucked his dick away, tucking himself away and zipping himself back up. Alex didn’t say another word to the others, pulling him out of the room and he had a feeling he was going to be punished for it. The last thing he saw was Jay giving him an apologetic look.

***

While Alex’s words, followed by his harsh punishment, made it clear that his dick was not going anywhere near anyone’s holes and he should not even think about it, he couldn’t help but think about it.it felt like a seed had been planted in his head and he thought often about Jay’s offer and what he would look like sucking him off.

Alex kept him on a fair tight leash for the next few tours,making sure that he wasn’t left alone and him being even allowed to suck others off had been a one off for Bullet.

But the thoughts persisted and he couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like, not just to get sucked off but maybe even to fuck somone.

He hoped that one day he would be able to slip away from Alex so he could find out what it was like. Maybe at a festival where it would be so busy and distracting for him. Maybe he’d even get a chance with Jay at some point.

***

Despite being on the same bill a couple of festivals, Brandon never actually got a chance to hookup with Jay. He wasn’t sure if it was just bad luck, because festivals were big busy places, or if it was because of Matt being a dick and keeping them apart. He’d wondered a lot after that first day if Matt was as controlling over Jay as Alex was over him and he couldn’t get away as a result. Maybe he was wrong though and Matt was t as much of a dick as Alex was.

“Hey, you’re Brandon right?” The accent was familiar, though he couldn’t place it and when he looked at the source, it was a men with jet black hair that looked kind of familiar. “I’m Darran, from Funeral For A Friend. Jay asked me to look you up.”

“Jay…” Brandon smiled at the mention of his name and he nodded, offering his hand to shake. “Yeah I’m Brandon. How is he?”

Darran shook it with a slight smile. “Oh you know, he’s the same as always being screwed around by Tuck. I hope one day he’ll be rid of him.” He seemed genuinely annoyed by that, so Brandon guessed he was right with his assessment about Matt. “He told me to keep an eye out for you.” He leaned in, lowering his voice a little after looking around. “He says you’re packing.”

Brandon felt his cheeks heat up and he nodded. “Yeah.”

Darran grinned at him, looking him up nc down, his gaze lingering on his crotch before returning to his face. “Fancy going somewhere more private, if you want of course?”

“Yeah, I’d like that.” Brandon nodded, not even needing to think on it. After all he’d been wanting a chance for this, why would he turn it down?

***

They ended up at the Funeral For A Friend’s dressing room since it was close and thankfully it was empty. As soon as they were inside and the door was locked Darran got down on his knees before him.

His fingers worked to undo his flies, and he did it with such speed and ease that he wondered if he was his band’s designated slut. He didn’t have a chance to answer as he got his dick out, gasping soft as he reached for it, giving it a few strokes to get him to full hardness.

“Wow he wasn’t kidding, you really are packing!” His eyes were wide as he looked at his erection and Brandon blushed again.

“It’s not too big is it? You don’t have to do this if you don’t want…”

“Are you kidding? Sure it’s the biggest I’ve ever seen but I’ll take it as a challenge.” Darran flashed him a grin, licking his lips. “How about you is this ok with you?”

He was caught off guard because he’d never really been asked that before, but there was no hesitation in his mind. “Yeah I want this.”

“Great!” Darran grinned and he opened his mouth taking him into it. The sensation was overwhelming. His mouth was so warm, so wet and his lips felt so good around him. Darran took him halfway into his mouth in one go and he felt him take a breath through his nose.

Darran started to move his head, taking more of him each time he went down. All Brandon could do was watch and it was strangely hot watching him struggle to take him yet be so determined to as well.

After several minutes Darran finally got him fully down his throat, his eyes glistening and drool escaping from his lips. Brandon felt him gag a little around him and he was tempted to push him off, but Darran started to move at a slow and steady pace.

“Fuck…” Brandon whispered, the word stuttering as it left his lips. “You feel so… fuck.”

Darran looked up at him and he flicked his tongue against the underside of his dick, making him gasp in pleasure. It was all so much and he could definitely see why people enjoyed this.

“I… I think I’m close.” He gasped after a few more bobs of his head and Darran squeezed his lips and hummed around him. The vibration was enough to tip him over and he came, crying out his name as he saw stars.

He was panting heavily, his thighs trembling as Darran pulled off him, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. “Holy shit.” He whispered, grinning up at him. “I hope it was as good for you as it was for me.”

“Yeah that was… fuck.” Brandon couldn’t really think much right now, but he knew that he was definitely going to do that again. “Do you need me to get you off? I’d be happy to return the favour.”

“No, it’s ok.” Darran smiled, getting to his feet shakily. “Not that I don’t want to, but…” Now it was his turn blush. “I came in my trousers while I was sucking you off.”

“Oh!” Brandon felt an odd bit of pride at that. “Well I’m glad, that was amazing thank you.”

“Thank you too.” Darran grinned, tucking Brandon away and doing his flies up. “Now I dunno about you, but I could use a cold drink after that.”

“Yeah I’d like that too.”

I am dying over here. DYING OVER HERE. After being ill and depressed this has helped like you wouldn't believe *o* This has broken my brain!!!!! Like I refreshed the page and saw all the names and was just like omg this is gonna be the Good Shit™ 👀👀

I loved the start, with Alex rudely instructing Brandon how he should behave, and to even be nice to Bullet's insufferable prick singer. I'm just here like...pot calling the kettle black! And Brandon not having a choice, poor guy is proper under the thumb. Alex is a nasty control freak isn't he?

Alex's way of showing appreciation, huh. Poor Brandon is so embarrassed at Alex whoring him out against his will that he can't even look at anyone, especially since Alex is all he's known, bless him 💔 And Matt's response to offer his own "whore" to Alex as thanks, what can I say, they're like two peas in a pod aren't they?

I enjoyed that even though Brandon is fully submissive to Alex, he still seems to be putting on a show...acting like he's enjoying himself even though inside he's kind of dying a little. That kind of makes my heart hurt a little bit. :( But I did notice that Brandon noticed that Matt was exactly the same sort of person as Alex, despite not really spending much time together on the tour. Also the fact he noticed Matt was the same size as Alex so was able to act like he was enjoying himself, as he was a pro at pretending he enjoyed sucking Alex's dick too??

"I can see why Alex keeps you around" yeah fuck off Matt lol. The way he thinks exactly the same as Alex, treating Brandon like he's just a worthless bit of shit that only serves for his own pleasure.

I liked the juxtaposition of Moose (and Padge, later) with Matt. How Moose seemed more appreciative, and was a little more gentle. And how Brandon felt a bit strange when Moose praised him and thanked him, as he wasn't used to ever getting praise. And then how he realised he craved praise despite getting none...poor baby 😭

Side note, I totally clocked that Alex was rougher with Jay than Matt was with Brandon. How Jay's eyes were teary and Brandon felt sorry for him. I kind of almost feel like Brandon feels guilty that Alex abused Jay, as he's usually the one that's getting the abuse and he feels bad that someone else had to experience it whilst he was indisposed, y'know?

Awww the way Brandon and Jay just sort of gravitated to one another and almost blocked out the others in the room despite Matt and Alex jeering. That was cute in a kind of sad way, I'm guessing they both saw themselves in the other?

Jay instantly going to Brandon's dick by the way 👀 And how he was in awe of how big he was :P It's kinda sad that he was embarrassed by his size; that he knew he was the biggest in the room but Alex had spent so much time knocking him down and calling him a freak that he believed it fully. ☹️ I love that Jay was so eager to be fucked by him, lol, how he's amazed at his size and how he thinks Brandon just likes sucking dick so much to even consider fucking people :o Damn you Alex!

The way Alex instantly dragged Brandon away and punishing him when the slightest hint of him getting a little bit of 'power' in fucking someone else was very telling. Methinks someone feels a little threatened ;) Also the fact Alex kept him on an even shorter leash for the band's following few tours, not even allowing him to associate with anyone else! He knows Brandon has been given the idea and will do anything for him not to act on it huh???

And I guess Brandon was exactly right when it came to Matt being controlling over Jay, in the same way that Alex is controlling over him? I guess when you're familiar with abuse, you can notice it in others too.

The last section was unexpected (kinda like the Jay cameo in the drummer fic!) but it worked soooo well. I think it worked better having someone 'fresh' approach Brandon rather than one of the aforementioned Bullet guys? And happily it seems I can read Darran without being sad :) Love how Darran hunted Brandon out after learning he was big, from Jay :P

Side note, I really enjoyed how Brandon wondered if Darran was FFAF's "dedicated slut", as he knows he is the one for Atreyu (or rather, Alex) and has seen that Jay has been earmarked as the band slut in Bullet, and sees it as "normal" that a band has someone like that. But] FFAF wouldn't be like that, and I've always seen Darran as pretty vers :D So it's interesting he makes the assumption based on his own experiences in bands :)

Bless Brandon being shy even though he's getting what he wants...worrying that he's too big for Darran, and he doesn't really want to. Bless him D: Also the way Darran asked if everything was okay with him, and it seemed like an alien question to him, as he's just used to being bossed about, used and abused D:

I appreciate the fact that Darran struggled at first. :P I don't think anyone would be able to take him properly at first, I love that he had to ease himself onto Brandon's dick, and how Brandon was getting so turned on at Darran's determination ♥ And then how Darran did take him fully, and immediately gagged...and Brandon's first response was to consider pushing him off! I'm glad he didn't though, and he managed to just enjoy the moment. Darran is a sweetie.

The fact that Darran came in his pants whilst sucking him off, I loved that hahaha. And how Brandon was proud that he managed to do that. I guess Darran was finally the turning point for him being able to think for himself and maybe realise there's more to life than being pushed about by his own insufferable prick of a singer.

I really really really loved this so so much I am so excited for the next part and to see what happens next, ahhhhhh! This has really cheered me up ♥ ♥ 🥰

Well it was also nice to be completely surprised by all that, so I'm kinda glad you didn't tell me :D

Tuck is an insufferable prick, after all :D And heh, happy to be held responsible for that! Love a good asshole character!!

Yeah absolutely, all he's thinking about is making sure not to disappoint Alex as he doesn't want to be punished and get in trouble. Although even if he had behaved "perfectly" (or rather, perfectly according to Alex) I'm sure he still would have found a way to punish him anyway!

I loved the little spark to make him realise that what Alex is doing is wrong, and that doing something well always receives praise...it's almost like that was the first thing that began the cogs turning in his head and making him realise he needs better!

Yeah I headcanon that Alex is a little more cruel and rough than Tuck, Tuck is just an asshole with an ego bigger than the sun, but Alex is that and more, being a little more abusive physically as well as having a toxic personality.

Yeah I guess Jay noticing his dick and not being repulsed like Alex (who is probably just jealous looooooool) is probably the other turning point in Brandon changing his thinking and realising that he needs to try and escape Alex.

FFAF have definitely done a fair few festivals with them! Atreyu do quite a few UK fests, and so do FFAF, and their careers sort of align nicely with one another as they were probably both at their biggest around the same time.

Yess, I think it worked perfectly to have a FFAF guy in the mix. A guy who's just there for a bit of fun, who isn't in a band that has a hierarchy or anything! To really make it clear that the Alex/Brandon and Tuck/Jay dynamics are wrong!

I reckon it does make him porn star big haha. Idk, the man is just so tall that I can't see him as having anything other than a humongous dick lmao. (Although what's funny is it wasn't massively clear how tall he was in the early days, as the band promo photos hide him in the back and obviously he was at the back of the stage drumming before they booted Alex. I didn't realise how tall he was until he started singing for them lmfao.) But yes the way Darran was so determined; I kinda feel that there would be others who would take him a little easier, so I liked the fact that he almost had to force himself to take Brandon fully. Maybe force isn't the right word, as he really wanted to, but y'know what I mean I'm sure. I really liked the pair of them together tbf ♥

Yesssss. It worked so well at showing Brandon that he isn't a "freak" like Alex seems to always say.

Eeeek I'm excited already!!!! This was so so good, went right into my ultimate list ahaha, and I'm betting the next part will too

[personal profile] carrythefire 2023-12-13 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
With regards to writing about pricks, I'd just like to say hey, there's a reason I write about Juha so much 👀😂

Yeah Alex totally would have hunted for a reason to punish him.

Agreed, he's always thought he doesn't need praise because he's worthless according to Alex, so it's a bit of a shock for someone to give him praise :P

Well I'm glad to see I spotted the vibe. And yeah that's fair, Tuck is kind of more "here is a whore, use him if you want" whereas Alex is more interested in knocking Brandon down and keeping him under the thumb, so to speak.

Yeah it worked better with it actually happening, I guess a reference would have felt a little detached and I think something as big (lol) as him getting his dick sucked for the first time deserves a bit more attention!

Well, maybe ;) But I guess it's quite common with bands of differing heights to have promo photos that play with perspective and try to avoid having one member towering over others, or being a lot shorter. Like the Kätilöt ones we were talking about recently. Because it's not just Brandon who is a height anomaly in Atreyu - Dan is on the other end of the scale and is really short haha. I didn't realise he was short until I saw them live a few years after discovering them lmao :D Like this is a really good example...Brandon is like two steps behind everyone else (and still looks tall), and Dan is on this like raised mound of grass. https://punkrockjogja.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/5033-atreyu-main.jpg And tbf they still fool about with perspective now, making Brandon look shorter and Dan taller somehow :D

Juha is very easy to punish because...well, you know why! Icon may or may not be related 😡😤

I think the line in my fic sums the two up nicely. "Tuck is mentally abusive but he's not a fucking psychopath" hahah.

One part works best I reckon, not sure it would have been long enough for a 1.5 without you having to add unnecessary padding haha ♥

I completely agree! I would also like to see who is tall and who is short, lol. But I understand why they do it for aesthetics/framing, and not having someone towering over the others ahaha. Honestly that first photo is great lol, it's like the "perfect" place for an Atreyu shoot because the photographer sort of managed to make them almost look level, provided you don't look a bit closer 😂 And oh, that would be Kyle! I agree. He's the current drummer, and also the only member I have zero confidence at writing hahaha as he's the new guy and wasn't in the band during my writing heyday 😜

Tbh the whole man is a Look! And well, you'll get to see him in a fic soon ish :D Once I finish the sequel to the Miikka one, and obviously the Xmas one, I'm gonna set up the trio of dickheads fic. :D

Yeah it was a nice juxtaposition, especially after reading part two!!

Yeah just so I can look at heights! Sometimes post-gig crowd fics are very helpful though :D And yeah, they chose perfectly. He was drumming for Brandon's solo project prior to joining Atreyu, so if he was playing drumlines Brandon had written for his own project, he was surely the perfect choice to "replace" Brandon in Atreyu :P He seems super nice and the guys all love him as well. When they play Bleeding Mascara now, Brandon goes back to playing drums, Marc switches to just being a frontman, and Kyle plays bass for it. I don't think he played bass prior to joining Atreyu so they taught him the bass for that one song so they could all switch about, which is kinda sweet. At the end in Manchester Brandon was so stoked haha, he was like "ladies and gentleman, Kyle Rosa, give him a massive round of applause, isn't he talented?????" which was actually pretty adorable. (But it is kinda funny because I'd say Brandon is the most musically talented in the band as he plays drums, guitar, bass, keys as well as having a voice like that???)

[personal profile] carrythefire 2023-12-14 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Hehe, I like how "grey" he is for me to write. "IRL" fics have him as being pathetic where kinkverse he is all powerful hahaha. (I don't think I could ever change him in kinkverse, he wouldn't let me 🤣)

Damn haha, six years!

Well you can probably guess my thoughts 🤪

Haha yeah! Although sometimes bands pose weirdly for those photos too! Best way is to see them live I think.

Yep. He was the guy who played for them for that run of shows they did in 2019 when Alex couldn't play the Euro shows due to a slipped disc as well. And he also guested for them at their 20 year anniversary show, he played drums for Ex's and Oh's, whilst Brandon & Alex dual-fronted! And yeah he's like crazy talented. I think quite a few people think he just plays drums but in fact he has always been one of the two main songwriters in Atreyu, so when people accuse them of them not sounding as good when Alex left, they need to check themselves as it's still the same core songwriters, the only difference is that the lyrics are no longer written by a child haha. And oh, what else does Ilan do? :)

Atreyu ideas: 13 added in the last four weeks

This was the idea, I just copy and pasted it from a message :D

During Moments Forever Faded, Matt literally sauntered over to Rich with this smirk on his face and stroked a hand across his chest before singing the line "breaking you for the first time" and then Rich fucking nodded. So I was going to write rough dommy Matt breaking dommy Rich for the first time

He patted Brandon on the back, as if they wouldn’t know who he was.
Alex is just like "well I know he is worthless, so I assume the rest of them also don't care who he is, so I'd better explain. Like damnnnn

Also I kinda love that Matt was immediately regarding him in a similar manner to Alex, with his dismissive comment of "well I can see why Alex keeps you around." I bet he's just like, I suppose I can respect this insufferable prick of a singer as he has a whore he walks all over like I do

Just doing a re-read and thought I'd comment whilst passing. Love that this has 33 comments (well, 34 now).

Alex having Brandon practically in a chokehold with Tuck having Jay in a similar one. Love the parallels. And the way Jay is so impressed at Brandon's big dick. And then Darran actively seeking Brandon out 👀
