Pairing: Brandon Saller/Jay James
Rating: R
Warnings: Bondage
Notes: So when I first had thoughts for doing a Brandon thing, I had two ideas: the reunion one (which became We Stand Up) and this one. And since this is kinda festive I wanted to try and do it before Christmas (and cause my brain’s stalled on other things for some reason). I wish I had a better title but!
Brandon stepped out of Bridgend’s station, pulling his jacket a little tighter around him. It was wasn’t too cold, but the dark grey clouds in the sky above threatened rain, or perhaps given the time of year, snow. He’d paid a visit to the town many times over the years and he considered the place to be unremarkable, if he was being generous. He glanced around the car park, looking for the only reason that he’d bothered with this town.
Sure enough he caught sight of Jay James, as the shorter man got out of his car, making his way over to him. “Hey man, I’m glad you could make it.” He had a bright grin on his face as he pulled Brandon into a hug with his strong arms, which were hidden under his own jacket. “It’s good to see you.”
“Hey.” Brandon smiled at him when he pulled away. “It’s good to see you too.”
“Come on, let’s get in the car before it starts to rain or some shit. We can talk more on the way.” He turned on his heel, leading him back to the car and Brandon trailed behind him. Once there, Jay helped him put his back in the trunk before he got in the passenger seat. As Jay started to drive they made small talk, mostly about how they’d been since they last met and Brandon’s trip.
Sure enough, as Jay expected, it started to rain soon after they left the station.
As they chatted and Brandon watched the rain, he wondered exactly why he was here. Sure it was nice to be with Jay in general, he was great company to be around and when they hooked up it was always memorable and fun, but Jay had been vague with his reasoning for Brandon to come all this way. All hee said was that he had a present for him, one that he couldn’t send, which had been intriguing enough for him to make a visit to find out what it was. Sure it had cost more than he’d have liked and travelling this close to Christmas had meant it was a bit of a nightmare but he was here now.
He’d wondered what the present could be, though he honestly had no idea what it could be,
Soon the car pulled up outside Jay’s house, a little cottage on the edge of town that was fairly nondescript but nice all the same. They both got out of the car and made their way inside, and Brandon set his bag down, grateful it was warmer inside. Jay gave him a quick kiss, followed by another grin. “Now I’m sure you’re curious about what I got you, so do you want to see what it is now or do you want to have a drink or something first.”
Brandon was a bit tired from his travelling and he could probably do with a bite to eat, but he had to admit, he couldn’t resist wanting to know what he’d come all this way for. “Alright, you’ve got me, I’ve gotta know what this thing is.”
“I had a feeling you would!” He grinned brightly and clapped his hands together, shrugging his jack et off and hanging it by the door. “Once you’ve seen it we’ll have a drink and some lunch.”
“Sounds good to me.” Brandon smiled as he took off his own jacket, about to head through the door into Jay’s lounge until the other man took ahold of his arm to stop him.
“It’s upstairs.” Jay told him in his soft voice and Brandon raised an eyebrow, but followed him up the stairs. “Now close your eyes, no peeking!” Brandon smiled as he nodded, closing his eyes and wondering what to expect. The only rooms that he knew Jay had up here was his bedroom, a spare bedroom and one that he had converted into a sex room. Was that why he’d wanted him to come here? Had he got some new piece of kit that he wanted them to try? His cock twitched in his pants in interest, though he knew he’d not be up for it just yet.
Jay’s hand was on the small of his back, guiding him through a doorway into one of the rooms and he took a few steps inside. “Alright, now open your eyes!” At Jay’s excited words he did just that, opening them to reveal that he was in Jay’s sex room however what was in front of him was something he hadn’t expected.
There with his wrists shackled to the ceiling was Alex.
He was completely naked, with a bright green cage in his mouth, with a bright red collar around his neck and a matching tiny cage on his cock. Wrapped around his body were cables with Christmas lights on them, flicking in different colours. Atop his head was a silver glittery star, attached to a headband. Alex’s eyes were wide as he saw Brandon and he felt himself smirk at the fear that he saw in them.
“It’s all yours to do what you want with or not, it’s up to you. Do you like?”
Brandon’s mind was already turning with ideas of what he was going to do with his band’s former singer, especially with all the shit talking he’s done recently. “Oh I do.” He looked Alex up and down, grinning as he noticed that his ankles were bound in what looked like bright red ribbon. “I’m going to have lots of fun with him, but for now I think he should be left here with his thoughts a bit longer.”
He took a few steps closer to him, whispering softly in the bound man’s ear. “See you soon you little shit.”
He heard him struggle and try to speak behind the gag, but all that came out was muffled sounds and drool sliding down his already wet chin. Brandon turned from the pathetic creature to look at Jay who had that adorable bright grin on his face. “Come on, I could do with some decent food in me before I deal with this fucker.”
“Of course!”
As they left the room, locking the door behind them Brandon grinned and couldn’t help but think to himself that this had definitely been worth the trip.

Date: 2023-12-24 01:47 pm (UTC)The description of Bridgend is perfect, shithole town that it is :D I do miss going there for my gigs at Hobos, and there was this really nice cafe I went to when I went to the Bridgend Mashup Festival. Aside from that tho, shithole 100%!
I enjoy that apparently Brandon makes this trip to Bridgend on a semi-regular basis to see Jay. I'm assuming Jay maybe also makes trips to California as well? I do love that Jay was just like "got a present you need to have in person" and Brandon made the trip at great expense to himself without really questioning it! Clearly he trusts Jay enough to just go along with whatever he says though!
And again, how he is so tired from his long-haul international flight but still has to immediately see what the surprise is because he is just so curious about what it could be! Side note, really love their cute dynamic in this, just two good friends (with benefits) happy to be together ♥
AND THEN THE BIG REVEAL, I don't know what I was expecting but definitely not THAT??????? I have so many questions, how did Jay even get him here 😂 The fact he got someone from California to come over to Bridgend for his present to be a restrained captive fellow Californian 😂😂😂🔥 The way he was bound like a present was magnificent, well I guess he is a good present after all so it makes sense!
Alex’s eyes were wide as he saw Brandon and he felt himself smirk at the fear that he saw in them. LIKE DAMN, HE KNOWS WHAT IS ABOUT TO GO DOWN. I bet he was scared at the fact he was kidnapped and restrained in some back-valley shithole town, but then when Brandon of all people walks into the room, that's when he knows he is absolutely fucked! The fear in his eyes says it all, he knows he is really going to be suffering. Especially with him shooting his mouth a lot more than usual recently!!!
And then Brandon's response!!!! How he is so pleased with Alex being captured for him, and the potential of what to do with him - and Alex knows it. And then for Alex just to be left alone whilst the pair go and get some food...Brandon knows full well that Alex is going to go stir crazy with fear conjuring up fucked up scenarios of what is going to happen to him!! And I think that is also punishment and suffering in itself!
With him telling Alex see you soon you little shit and then Alex's fearful muffled response...oh fuck, he just knows that shit is going to be going down huh????
I know I'm a needy bitch but is there gonna be a sequel where Alex gets to suffer at the hands of Brandon and maybe Jay as well? 👀 Because damn that open end is literally killing me!!!!!!!!!!!

Date: 2023-12-24 02:14 pm (UTC)I got that description from you since I’ve not been! So I’m glad it sounds right! But it’s good there’s at least some good points there
Yeah, I figured he’d come during tours as well as make a few trips of his own. And that’s a good thought! Yeah I think Jay would make a few visits to him too👀 yeah exactly! He made so much effort because it was just too intriguing to pass up👀and yeah he really does!
I figured if Jay hadn’t bought it uo right away he’d have been happy to wait till after eating but his curiousities got the better of him👀 and aww I’m glad! I love there energy(both in this and We Stand Up) and I loved this cuteness
I’m glad you had no idea! 😄 Yeah the basic idea I had was ‘Jay invites Brandon and gives him Alex as a present’ and 😏 the original concept had him taken from a Dead Icarus show/recording session, but I didn’t include a reference so it’s lil mystery😏 and yeah! Originally he was just gonna be bound regularly but u saw a pic of someone wrapped in lights like that and😏
Exactly! He knows he’s in deep shit now, more than he was already! Wonder if he has the self awareness to regret the shit talking now Brandon’s right there😏 (probably not!)
Absolutely! Brandon is definitely pleased by his gift and he definitely knows that being left alone will make Alex go crazy (hell, he’ll probably take extra time to leave him alone with his thoughts!)
He does😏
Maybe! When I originally had this idea I wanted stuff to actually happen to Alex but I couldn’t decide what (and got distracted by We Stand up) but I liked the idea so much I at least wanted to get up to this point out you know?
(So if there’s anything you’d like to see let me know!😏) though I’m glad you wanna know more!😏

Date: 2023-12-24 04:26 pm (UTC)Yep just your typical South Wales dive. There's a lot of them, just so happens some decent bands come from there too! :D
Yeah ♥ I think so too! I like to assume they just kinda gravitated to each other on the first tour and remained friends after. And then made the effort to keep in touch and still see each other even after Jay left Bullet and it wasn't so 'easy', so to speak.
Absolutely! I really really like this pairing, they just fit nicely together for some reason and really work well together! They're a nice match. :)
Interesting :D :D Well the mystery works well too heh. And well, gotta get into that Christmas spirit and have him all wrapped up like a Christmas tree!
Ugh yesssssss. And he's probably more nervous and afraid because of how much shit talking he has been doing. Brandon ain't gonna stand for that and he's potentially going to suffer more than he would have than if he'd kept his mouth shut :P So idk, maybe there is some regret. But he only did the shit talking to get more people to look at his new band soooooooooo :D
Well yeah, the suffering has already begun by Alex being left with his thoughts of what might happen to him. And I kinda have the headcanon that Brandon tortured him brutally before kicking him out and he is rightly scared of the fact he is going to be getting a repeat session!
I think it works well as a precursor to the torture, and it really is a great idea! I have a few thoughts...I like the thought of Brandon forcing himself into Alex and making him bleed. And deciding he needs to be stretched further so uses a knife to forcefully open him up. Other ideas are choking him, edging him so far so that he almost suffocates, maybe standing/holding his boots on his chest and 'trampling' him to an extent? Umm maybe sounding too? Or just anything sadistic at all I guess?? I'd be happy with anything tbf

Date: 2023-12-24 04:39 pm (UTC)Yeah of course! I think I said in the other one something about them wanting to be in bands just to leave heh
That makes sense and I love that thought so much, both them gravitating to each other on that first tour and still keeping in touch💜
Yeah they really do! I think it’s partly to do with them having similar situations with dickish singer’s but they just… work too
Hee of course!😄
Yeah exactly! Brandon’s definition gonna make him pay for all of that! Since he doesn’t seem to know how to shit up! And yeah exactly
Oh nice I love that thought!
Thank you! I’m glad you thought it was a great idea! (I did almost run it by you to see if you had thoughts, but I’m glad I didn’t cause the surprise!) ohh nice! Those are all such great ideas too👀👀I’ll definitely have to brainstorm!
no subject
Date: 2023-12-24 04:47 pm (UTC)Lol yea. I think Rich said in one interview that since there was nothing to do in Bridgend, you either joined a band or joined a rugby team 😂
It's a nice thought :)
Yeah I like the idea of them just hyping each other and just being supportive in general since they know how it is to be a doormat ♥
Of course ;) Oh Alex and his big mouth, maybe in the future he'll think before he speaks. Doubt it though ;)
Heh thanks! Those are just things that came to me immediately. I also think something playing on their size difference (height or appendages, take that however you like loooool) would be cool too but idk what exactly!
no subject
Date: 2023-12-24 04:52 pm (UTC)Oh Rich! Well he’s not wrong!
It is!
Awww I love that, it’s such a cute thought
Maybe something has to be done about that so he can’t😏
They’re all good thoughts! Oh nice I love that too! 👀👀 lemme know if any other thoughts come up too!
no subject
Date: 2023-12-24 07:01 pm (UTC)He definitely isn't, haha. I think I've seen that mentioned in other interviews with other Welsh bands as well, tbh! But the Rich comment (or it might have been Kris. It was in the interview with the two of them I know that much) is fresh in my mind :D
That's very true about keeping him quiet, depends on how far you're willing to take things if you do end up doing a follow up tho!
Heh thanks! Idk, you know me, I'm not especially fussy. I'm happy for all or none of the suggestions to be added!
Edit: thought you might like to know I literally keep coming back to read this

Date: 2023-12-24 09:24 pm (UTC)It could be both of the. Hee!
Yeah that was one of the reasons I didn’t do the idea till now, cause I couldn’t decide how far he’d go. Would he just beat and fuck him? Would he torture him? Do something permanent? Snuff him? So I need to ponder some more and decide
I know! They’re all great though💜
Ahhh nice! I’m so glad💜
no subject
Date: 2023-12-24 09:28 pm (UTC)Yeah, that makes perfect sense! I kind of feel like "this" Brandon does have the potential to snuff him if you did want to take that route. Maybe Alex is so scared at the sight of him, because Brandon went round to his whilst he was shooting his mouth about Baptize and brutally punished him for it. And then told him if he does something like this again, he'll make his suffering ten times worse? And obvious he did, because he's stupid, and the fact he is now face to face with him again has put the fear of god into him because of said threat?
no subject
Date: 2023-12-24 11:52 pm (UTC)Yeah I definitely get the sense that this Brandon will definitely be that cruel to him. Ohhh I like the way you think with that👀👀 I love that image so much (and yeah Alex is stupid cause it’s Alex!)👀👀
But we’ll see! I probably won’t do anything for a day or two, but then we’ll see which thing I get inspiration for (Drummer fic part 3? the next part of We Stand Up? The next part of this? The bloody Travis thing? One of the other pile of things I have?😅)
no subject
Date: 2023-12-25 10:18 am (UTC)Yeah I just get that ~vibe~, y'know? And heh. Yeah that just came to me after I reread it, Brandon's little comment of "see you soon, you little shit" felt like it had purpose, somehow :D
Heh, so many things, so little time :P
