Day 2 of Fest... time to unleash one very big post 👀

You've seen the title on the link above, today I bring you an Alec playlist. But me being me, there's a tiny bit more to it than just being a selection of music I love (it absolutely is, though, don't get me wrong). This is a narrative playlist—in other words, each song represents a moment in Alec's life, in chronological order, and based on my interpretation of (and expansions on) the GoldenEye canon. Oh and... although I didn't put that much thought into this aspect of the playlist, it happens to be mostly British songs, some Russian ones and a few others. Pretty fitting, I would say.

See you below the cut for the full story behind each song :D

Pink Floyd, Another Brick in the Wall pt. 1

Our story starts with Alec being a little orphan in 1950s-60s Britain. Therefore, my choice went to a song about a very similar little orphan—Pink, the protagonist of The Wall. Although circumstances are different, the song tells the same story for both kids: they're lonely and deeply resenting of their father's (or parents') absence... which will be the root of all the ills in their lives.

David Bowie, Life on Mars?

There was a joke between @prismatic-bell and I once. Since Bowie and Alec are so similar in terms of appearance, Bowie must have been Alec's first crush (and therefore, bi awakening). Therefore, there has to be some Bowie in here—and this song in particular is perfect to describe Alec growing up, looking at the depressing Cold War world from his young eyes.

David Sylvian, Forbidden Colours

Speaking of bi awakenings, well this is it. At this stage of the story, young Alec has realised ‘[his] love wears forbidden colours’. And just like in the song, he'll ‘[try] to show unquestioning faith in everything’, from public school to the army. Another brick in his wall, as somebody else would sing.

John Barry, Theme from the Persuaders

The only instrumental in this playlist, but perhaps the name of the composer alone tipped you off on why I chose it. By now Alec is a Royal Marine, and he meets a certain Navy commander—a fellow named James Bond, you might have heard of him. So why the Persuaders and not a classic Bond theme? Easy, just watch the opening of said Persuaders. The parallel editing between the lives of Roger Moore's and Tony Curtis's characters... I dream we could have that for Brosnan!Bond and Alec.

Pet Shop Boys, This Must Be the Place I Waited Years to Leave

So Alec is an MI6 agent now (probably under James's influence). The point here is, he actually loves his job—being in the shadows, not having to be around handsome men in uniform all the time anymore... He's found his place, and he can look back on his younger years as a bad time that is finally over (or is it?) Fun fact by the way, this song could have been the Living Daylights' theme song. It didn't go too far into that process, but still I highly recommend this edit of TLD's credits with the song over it.

Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Relax

‘Not having to be around handsome men in uniform all the time anymore’... yeah. Well, there is still is one ridiculously handsome man Alec is around all the time—James. Cue more bi panic, growing jealousy, and, of course, sharing everything absolutely everything. Doesn't help that Relax, an extremely gay song (enough to be banned by the BBC when it came out...), is the hot thing on the radio back in those days...

Tears for Fears, Shout

Alec has just earned his 00 status, and he has many scores to settle with life... so he's going to shout, and life is going to hear him. Case in point, his bullets.

a-ha, The Living Daylights

A continuation of the previous song. This is Alec and James living the high life as 00 agents, full of broken gadgets, expensive food and clothing, private jokes and other code phrases. An excuse for me to shoehorn my favourite Bond song in the playlist? Absolutely. a-ha's synth version of it, too—as much as I love Barry's version (the one used in the movie), I have to say this one is vastly superior.

Public Image Ltd, The Order of Death

Oh no. Alec has been too curious and got his hands on his MI6 file. Now he knows everything. The Lienz Cossacks and their betrayal by the British; his parents' survivor guilt; the fact his name shouldn't be Trevelyan but his parents' Russian name (Trailin, in my headcanon); the fact MI6 knew his origins and still got him to work for them (if it didn't have a say in how he was brought up...) He wanted to know, now he's got his answer. Whether he likes it or not.

Secret Service, Flash in the Night

Alec is depressed. He doesn't really know yet what to make of everything he learned in his MI6 file. He looks at James but he knows he can't tell him anything. James is part of the system that betrayed his parents, then betrayed him in turn. James can't possibly understand how it feels like. Yet again, Alec is alone. The scar once healed forever dissolves in the rain, as the song has it.

Кино, Спокойная ночь (Kino, Spokoynaya noch'—Calm Night)

Not too long later, a still depressed Alec is wandering in Soviet streets during a mission. Moscow or Leningrad, who knows (one day I'll have to choose, because I really want to write a one shot based on this song). Ideas are coming to him, but they aren't really clear. The only sure thing in all this is that he's starting to feel a lot more Russian than British... hence the inclusion of the first (and not last) Soviet rock song in the playlist.

C.C. Catch, ‘Cause You Are Young

Probably the same night, Alec stumbles on an underground nightclub blaring Western songs. After all, it is the mid-1980s, and Gorbachyov's USSR slowly starts to allow such music within its borders (censorship is still there, though, as proved by the blurb on the Soviet edition of Frankie Goes to Hollywood's second album not mentioning a single thing about Relax. Western music, okay, but gay? How about nyet) Anyway, my point: Alec hears this obscure German pop song, and suddenly everything starts to fall into place in his mind. A wake-up call, if you will. What he needs now is to catch his freedom from MI6, whatever the cost.

Depeche Mode, Personal Jesus

Janus is born. Alec's Personal Jesus, the persona that will give him his freedom from—and revenge on—Britain. The inspiration behind this choice of song comes from Brigada, the most famous Russian TV show of all time. Basically, the story of a group of friends in the late 1980s who go on to become a powerful mafia group in the 1990s. In the first episode, the protagonist decides to commit his first crime over Personal Jesus... and commits said crime in an underground nightclub that blares ‘Cause You Are Young. Small world, I know.

Peter Gabriel, We Do What We're Told

Alec is preparing his plans to fake his death and truly become Janus, but in the meantime he has to pretend everything's fine. So he does what he's told... like in his childhood, like in the army. He absolutely hates it, but he knows his patience will pay off.

Propaganda, p:Machinery

One word: Arkhangelsk. The planning phase is over, the day has come for Alec to make his move and disappear from the face of the Earth. Except that, as we all know, not everything goes according to plan... Fun fact, I just learned that this song was greatly influenced by David Sylvian, of Forbidden Colours fame. The world doesn't get any bigger, does it?

Pink Floyd, Hey You

In a Soviet hospital, Alec recovers from his Arkhangelsk wounds... and falls deeper into depression. But with Janus on board, depression takes on a much more threatening face. Alec is despaired, but he also wants to kill. That should distract him from despair.

Nautilus Pompilius, Воздух (Vozdukh—Air)

As the USSR slowly dies, a new organisation comes to be—the Janus Syndicate. It's only the early days, and it probably doesn't really ressemble what we see of it in GoldenEye. But it comes at a time Soviets themselves are growing disenchanted from their world. as everything crumbles down, even law enforcement doesn't see any point in catching criminals anymore (as told by the lyrics). Exactly the kind of fertile ground the Syndicate needs to grow.

The Rolling Stones, Sympathy for the Devil

There's a newcomer in Alec's life—a certain Xenia Onatopp. Is she a cis or trans woman, I'll let you choose. What she definitely is, at least, is someone who wants absolute freedom, even if it means harming others (a cause Alec can relate to). That, and the kind of untamed energy that would greatly benefit from being given a direction. For instance... working for Janus? Unless it is dominating Janus in the bedroom... my Alec is bi for a reason, after all.

Depeche Mode, Never Let Me Down Again

Do you know Scarface, and more specifically the Push It to the Limit segment? Well picture that, but with Alec as Tony Montana, Xenia as Manny Ribera, the freshly renamed St Petersburg instead of sunny Miami... and Depeche Mode instead of Giorgio Moroder's music (with the caveat that Alec clearly didn't get married back in those days, because there's only one person he'd marry: James). These are the heydays of the Russian mafia, when some people who previously knew nothing of capitalism became dizziyingly rich overnight... and fought each other to death for more power. The days of the Gulf War, also—when the Janus Syndicate sold stolen Red Army weapons to Iraq. Pop quiz, do you know what the mafia bosses who survived those turbulent times are called today? Oligarchs. Kinda sheds a new light on Alec, I won't lie.

Tina Turner, GoldenEye

I had to include it. There's no two ways about it, this is the ultimate, canon Alec (Bondalec, even) song. Just look at the lyrics, and tell me this isn't Alec spitting all his jealousy on James. Xenia would be just as menacing, yes, but nowhere near as salty. So where are we in our story for me to include this song? Well, just at the beginning of GoldenEye proper: Xenia has met James in Monte Carlo, and tells Alec as they prepare to steal the Tiger (yes, Xenia's accomplice in that scene is Alec. Fight me). Cue a very sour laugh from Alec, who cannot believe fate has put James on his path again. Not that it really matters to him at this point though—all he's focused on is his upcoming revenge on Britain, and if James has to be a bystander, then so be it.

Midge Ure, The Man Who Sold the World

James wanted to be set up with Janus... well, he's got what he asked for. Janus, in person, at the statue park. Alec, alive and with a murderous intent. Again a song with a connection to Bowie, as you might have noticed... but unsurpringly I prefer the very 1980s, synth-heavy version by Midge Ure. Bowie, hmmmm... a hint towards renewed bi panic on Alec's part? You'll know soon enough.

Nautilus Pompilius, Нежный вампир (Nezhniy vampir—Tender Vampire)

A little interlude before we enter the endgame. The tender vampire here is Janus, of course—dragging Alec's better self into the abyss, being so jealous of James he starts circling around Natalya like a hungry shark. The absolute creep we see in the train scene, in short. For the record, I know this song from Brat, another very famous Russian movie about the 1990s mafia (I'll probably run a watchalong for it later during this Fest, so stay tuned 👀).

Propaganda, The Murder of Love

Train scene, act 2: the Mexican standoff. Alec and James face each other again, but James still doesn't really have the upper hand. So Alec (well, Janus) spits more poison at him, this time a lot more personal and hurtful. And yes, the bi panic is firmly there, as smug as Alec tries to look. He knows he can't kill James, but he also knows he can't let James talk to him. Alec can't be diverted from his revenge on life itself, because that would be acknowledging that all the time and effort he put into that goal was a waste. Therefore, he prefers to gloat at James... in other words, to be the victim who's become the judge, and to make James plead for mercy.

Pet Shop Boys, I’m Not Scared

Well, this particular one originally wasn't in the playlist. But the moment I first heard it, I knew I had to include it. This has to be James's answer to all of Alec's venom in GoldenEye and The Murder of Love. James has always loved Alec, and doesn't understand how Alec could have grown so scorned and spiteful. Are Janus and Alec really the same person? Will he have to kill Alec? If he does, will James ever be able to forgive himself? If only he and Alec could talk heart to heart... as @3nigm4art commented about this song, Alec would cry if he heard James singing it to him. Perhaps he could even be reasoned... So what I envision here is the beach scene, with James looking at the sea asking himself all those questions—and Alec, somewhere in his lair, being unable to take James out of his mind.

Leonard Cohen, First We Take Manhattan

We are now in the Janus control center in Cuba. Xenia is dead by now, but Alec probably hasn't really processed that yet. After all, he has other things on his mind: his scheme coming so close to completion... and James right in front of him, watching and commenting what he sees. Alec likes this, in a way—what better witness to him becoming a literal god than James? He's not jealous anymore at his point, because in his mind, he's won. He's done the impossible: destroying Britain, and beating James. But there's an issue here... being so drunk with his triumph, he forgot that James won't let himself be just a passive bystander. Which surely won't come back to bite him in the arse, will it?

Pet Shop Boys, It's a Sin

As everything explodes around him (literally), Alec loses it. James has stolen the triumph he deserved to get. Therefore, James will die. By Alec's hand. Ensues the fight on the antenna. Alec probably knows he won't survive it, but he doesn't care anymore. All his rage, all his jealousy, all his frustration are what fuels him at this point—with glimpses from his past flashing before his eyes, as the song suggests. He has wasted nine years of his life, and the rest of it in fact. His whole life has been nothing but sin, from his origins and attraction to James to becoming a spy then a mafia leader. So if there's no turning back... at least he'll go out with a bang. And hopefully take James with him.

Кино, Легенда (Kino, Legenda—Legend)

The story ends here. Alec falls to his death after James lets him go, and James has to live with the memory of Alec haunting him. But is it what really happens? If anything, this song is here to be an open ending. It is an elegy, yes, but it could be Alec singing it. Since death is worth living, but love is worth waiting, maybe he survived and has to piece himself back together at James's side. Or maybe it's James who fell. You decide, but at least there's one thing we can all be sure about. Credits might roll, but Alec's legend never ends.

(Thank you so much for reading, and listening ♥️ I put a lot more energy into this post than I thought I would 😅)

When Toriel saw the trio pull out all the things that she had taken out of the classroom, she was a bit confused. "...Wait, so you all gathered everything back up that was in here... and brought them back..? Why..? I take it that the reason involves whatever you're showing me..? ...And Berdly?"

Kris nodded some. "...Yeah. It's complicated... But, you'll see what it means. And we can point some stuff out if need be." Susie chuckled and nods as well, looking at Berdly. "Yeah. And, uh. It'll hopefully explain why I snapped at you over the one card. I hope."

Player helped out a bit with putting everything back, to try and speed up the process. Toriel and Berdly just watched- Toriel especially surprised because of how much detail was being put into it.

But once they were done, the group nodded. "Okay. This might be odd, but now we need to head over to the closet adjacent to the room. Noelle hasn't seen this one yet, since... well, it stopped existing when things got cleared out. But, it should... hopefully... be back to normal." Toriel and Berdly just nodded again, still somewhat baffled by it all.

They headed out of the classroom, and then to the closet... opening the door to pitch black. Both Toriel and Berdly were surprised at the sheer lack of light in the room, but the rest not so much. "...Wait, there's normally at least SOME light in there, right?" Berdly asked. Noelle just chuckled at this, knowing what was to come. And Kris smiled lightly. "...Okay. Be warned- there's a bit of a drop." they said, before they jumped in, alongside Susie, Noelle, and the Player- to the sheer shock of Toriel and Berdly.

"Did they just... jump into there? And FALL?! That... that goes against so many scientific properties! This... I mean... ah, forget it. If what they said is true, then... it'll be explained. I hope. Come on, Ms. Dreemur- let's go ahead and see what Kris was talking about."

Toriel simply nodded, a bit at a loss for words. And with that, they too jumped into the darkness...

-----

Once they all arrived, the group of Kris, Susie, Noelle, and the Player got up first. They looked around for a few moments, before seeing Toriel and Berdly arrive as well- also in unique outfits.

Toriel's outfit was quite simple, and yet it felt quite fitting for her. It was a purple dress with what appeared to be a motif of the Angel that Ralsei had mentioned quite some time ago. She also no longer had her glasses on- which was actually the first thing she noticed, reaching up and trying to check for them, noticing she could still see just as well as she had before. This also revealed a simple hood of sorts, making her appear somewhat like Ralsei had when Kris and Susie had first met him. However, she looked less like a healer and more like one who would take part in battles as well. Her dress seemed like it wasn't going to be damaged easily.

Berdly, on the other hand, gained some more sci-fi based clothing. He gained what appeared to be a futuristic chestplate, a visor that looked nearly straight out of a sci-fi movie (with a few of the benefits too!), leg plates that covered his rather thin bird legs, and even arm plates with what appeared to be built-in laser blasters. He quickly began trying out some of the features, discovering that the laser components of his arm plates had a sort of laser-blade functionality, allowing him to have triangular blades on his arms. Surprisingly, they didn't hurt him if he accidentally touched the blade- another odd discrepancy he took note of.

Toriel, after finishing looking around, chuckled slightly upon seeing the surroundings, consisting mainly of the Card Castle and it's outer courtyard. "...So this is why you were doing all this... I'm curious, what did the items in the old classroom have to do with this place..?"

She didn't have to wonder for long, as Lancer and Ralsei soon emerged from the castle alongside a number of the inhabitants. Toriel and Berdly were far more surprised, and took a few steps back until seeing that the others weren't phased.

As for the Player, they were just trying to stay to the side of it all, wanting to let Kris, Susie, and Noelle get the attention. But in all the chaos and celebration going on, they were dragged into the excitement, as were the two new figures.

After regrouping, Ralsei and Lancer greeted the original group, before Toriel saw Ralsei and gasped. Ralsei then saw Toriel, eyes widening a bit. Toriel was the first to speak. "...Asriel..?"

Ralsei chuckled lightly. "...No, sorry. My name is Ralsei. I haven't seen you before, what's your name?"

Toriel nodded some. "...Of course. Asriel was coming from his college- I should have known. My name is Toriel. It's very nice to meet you, Ralsei." she said, her expression losing all traces of shock.

It wouldn't be long until Lancer made his introduction to both Toriel and Berdly- finally noticing the duo after reuniting with Susie. "Oh wow! I almost didn't see you two! You look like... um... I don't know, grape and blue raspberry. I think. Susie, who are these two? Do you know them or something?"

Susie chuckled and nodded. "Yeah, these two are other Lightner friends of ours. Toriel here is actually Kris' mother, and Berdly is a classmate who... while he was a bit annoying... he seems to be kinda understanding our situation through some science-y mumbo jumbo. So it might be nice to have him around so we can clear up that sort of stuff. If he can dumb down the complicated crap for us- unlikely."

Berdly scowled- except, it seemed more in a joking manner. "Hey! I can make it easier for you plebeians to understand the more intricate details of these situations! It might take a bit but it's a lot easier to lower the IQ levels than raise them. I think."

Susie laughed a bit at this. "I think you just lowered my IQ with whatever you just said, so surely it won't be that hard!" she said, making everyone but Berdly laugh some, while Berdly just rolled his eyes- albeit grinning some. Clearly he was actually enjoying the situation by some chance.

The Player was just trying not to intervene, but Toriel spoke up before they could really avoid anything. "So Player, you knew about this world too? Is this where you came from?" she asked.

The Player shook their head. "No, this isn't. I don't know how to fully explain it, but this world is a layer lower than yours- it's known as the Dark World, and yours is the Light World. I'm... not sure what mine would be called. But this world is a layer lower- mine is a layer higher."

Berdly, once again, seemed to understand every word. "...Ah, so in this sort of layered-universe thing, there's Player's world, our world, and then this world... but how are you getting from one to the other..? Is there some sort of one-way gate?"

Despite everyone else being confused entirely, Player responded. "...Sort of? I guess it's more like you can only go to the highest layer you originate from. You can go down as far as there are worlds, but never higher than your home layer. So while I can go down to both the Light and Dark worlds, you guys wouldn't be able to go to my world, and Ralsei and Lancer wouldn't be able to get to the Light World."

Berdly nodded in understanding- before Susie cut them off in exasperation. "Can you two idiots speak English?! None of us have any fucking clue what you're saying except you!" she said, gesturing to the rest of the group and their confused expressions.

Berdly and Player chuckled nervously, with Player being the one who responded. "...Sorry. I guess this is just me guessing at what's going on. It just sounds like it's what's going on. I think."

Toriel just chuckled. "...Well, I think you all have shown us what was going on. I'm guessing everyone here is from those things in the classroom you all brought back?" she said. Noelle nodded. "Y- yeah. I thought it was crazy, too. But, whenever we went somewhere, it always seemed to be like that. And that card Susie has seems to be Lancer... he comes with us wherever we go, as long as Susie has that card."

Berdly nods some more, once again putting the pieces together. "...I see. And the reason Susie was so protective of that card was because that card- or rather, Lancer- was close friends with Susie. And taking away the card would be taking away Lancer- taking away her friend."

Susie nods. "Finally, some sort of smartass bullshit I can actually somewhat understand. Yeah, taking that card would mean Lancer would be gone. And he's probably the first person I actually got to be friends with."

This results in Berdly sighing some. "...ah. I... I'm sorry, Susie. I suppose that, being the one person most people are terrified of, managing to make some form of friend is... difficult. But, clearly that has changed- you have Lancer, Kris, Noelle, Ralsei, Player... and I suppose, me as well. Though, I suppose it's more of you have my respect. We aren't quite friends yet..." he says, crossing his arms stiffly, before relaxing a bit. "...However, since we're likely going to be getting to know one another more now that you've shown me this place... eventually that may change."

Susie chuckled some. "...I suppose it might, birdbrain."

I'm actually keeping my word for once- this wait was, in fact, shorter! Part 16, finally out and readable! This one has a lot of interactions between Toriel, Berdly, Ralsei, and Lancer, plus a bit of descriptions of their outfits. Toriel is very similar to that of her Undertale appearance- after all, there's not much else that'd be fitting... And Berdly is similar to his Chapter 2 appearance- with some notable changes. One of these changes is that the visor is now fully extended and goes over both eyes instead of only his left eye, and that he no longer wields his Halberd, instead using dual laser blasters/blades. It'll be hard to explain in text so hopefully I can get a general sketch out for that. But, don't expect Chapter 2 content- I'm not planning on mooching off of that. That'd be more lazy of me than anything. If anything, the only reason I'm using the outfits from Undertale and Chapter 2 is because GOOD GRIEF outfits are tricky to explain when making them from scratch... Aside from that, this is simply Toriel and Berdly getting to see the Dark World... and big brain mumbo jumbo making Susie annoyed. I plan on a couple more explanations- one of which likely being simply the name of the Over World being cemented so that I can have a consistent name to refer to it as. Anyways, I finished writing this at a quarter past 2 in the morning, so now that my brain is done writing all this and whatnot, I think I can finally get some sleep. I hope you enjoy this part, it's probably one that I'm not quite as proud of- but, I don't know what anyone else thinks of it. So here you all go. Hoping it's at least good in terms of the story. See you all next time!

#The boy and the heron #how do you live #studio ghibli #ghibli #in all honesty that movie was legitimately so fantastic and im like changed as a person #Story wise as well!

Its a very personal movie i think #And you can feel it in every aspect #The eng dub voice actors were really good as well and the animation was beautiful as always #Also really loved the tone!!! The story really relied a bit on the use of negative space in both sound and pacing and i enjoyed that alot #in conclusion go read a article about miyazaki and his son and then go watch the movie it’s probably going to be one of my favorites #image id in alt

get to know some muses :: open

@snowbelled sent: 01. (Eira ), 09. ( Diluc ), 13. (Tenzou )

01. What does your character’s name mean? Did you pick it for the symbolism, or did you just like the way it sounded?

Man, answering these questions for me can either be boring as hell or a total callout. And in Eira's case it is most definitely the latter. This will be disjointed but what else is new with me, my muse roster comes from almost 20 years of writing broken up into different pieces with multiple revamps. So.

Eira Kestrova.

Both names were pulled out of my ass, and taken from completely different times of my writing hobby.... first was the family name. Kestrova.

It was pulled out of my ass just jumbling up a new character to write in the group I was in. It was used with my muse (who I don't write anymore) named Arnik. He was originally created, more or less, to be an antagonist character against Wylan. A shallow one. Black market weapon dealer with bad history blah blah blah- eventually revamped to still be a market dealer, but without the tie, different characterization, blatantly Russian in tone (because when I got older I was like "hey this name sounds kinda Russian yeah?) (ah to be a teen).

And then Eira. A name also pulled out of my ass because she was originally created to be a one-off NPC. One made for a drabble I wrote for a FE OC I wrote with a friend I met on my personal tumblr. Suffice to say after I wrote the drabble my friend really enjoyed her and she ended up being a recurring character in our RP. And then I took her here. And like my other muses mashed her history with other histories. Took Arnik's family name.

Eira Kestrova!!!

09. Do they have a favorite season? What about a favorite holiday?

Though he tolerates it, he's not the biggest fan of the rain. Some bitter memories and the like. As a result, though he loves the Spring, it would certainly be the latter parts when the rains have ended and the plants are all blooming. Mondstadt is a beautiful country and it shows best in Spring... and as a result...

It's tricky to pick a fav holiday since we keep learning of new ones because Diluc is difficult about showing enjoyment, I can tell you his least favorite day is his birthday since it coincides with The No Good Very Bad Day. Anyway!

I'd wager he really enjoys Windblume. It's a prosperous one where people share happiness and embrace more positive values. He may be single (the most eligible bachelor in the country) but it doesn't stop him from appreciating that this is a day that most of the people get to enjoy themselves. One of those I helped protect and help this happen moments as it were.

Also it's damn good for business, most holidays are honestly.

13. What are your character’s sleeping habits? Heavy or light sleeper? Blanket stealer? One that always rolls onto the floor? Pushes their lover onto the floor? Sleep talker or walker?

So long as he doesn't need to be sharing the bed Tenzou will have no difficulty passing out. Like many aspects of his life, he's gotten sleeping down to an art. Laying on his back and willing himself into a deep slumber. Note that he sleeps in night clothes, but the hat and scarf stay on. Those only come off when he is certain of being alone.

No, don't pull it off. Please. You can't.

He will wake quickly if disturbed, notably if blankets are taken away since he likes his comfy temperature underneath (he loves snuggling he just doesnt know it yet).

With a lover he's more nervous starting out. Granting a wide berth and just... look, he's a mess. You need to ease him into things. I'm sorry to say. But he would never push them out of bed.
