SON 🐺 LOUP

Well now it’ll be easier to know which Aaron at McKinley people are talking about. Congrats on the claim, dude.

Right? That was way too confusing for a while, man. Now we just have to deal with it in classes, which... is arguably worse. But whatever. Thanks, man. I’m real excited about it. It’s been amazing so far. How are things over there?

Someone sounds cheerful. Hm… I wonder why.

Just kidding. Congratulations, Aaron. Welcome to the Smythe bunch. We have cookies, and I promise they’re good.

Hey, Sebastian. Thank you! Cookies, huh? When can I expect those delivered to me? Kidding. Seriously though, I appreciate it. I’m really happy. How are you?

We’d have a problem if you could, I’m almost there. Maybe that’s because it isn’t your home. Of course, the trendsetter and first to get the privilege. It’s perfect. I’m still stunned. Between your initiative and Remy’s talent, I never stood a chance. Good boy. Of course. You’ll forget what that feels like, don’t worry.

It’s not my home and I’ll forget what it feels like? I like the sound of that. This another one of those constant ordering systems, Monsieur? I’m definitely not complaining. 

Jeff! Right?! Monsieur came to get me last night and he told me and... holy shit. I had to ask him to repeat it because I thought I was hearing things. I’m so happy.

Welcome to the family, Aaron.  

Thanks, Remy! I’m really, really happy. Also happy to be joining such an amazing family, full of even more amazing people. Thanks again for the painting, by the way. It came out as awesome as I could have hoped. How are you?

You got claimed too. Congratulations. This turned out to be a great day, didn’t it? Hi, um. I’m Riley.

Hey, Riley. I’m Aaron. Thank you, and congratulations! There’s gotta be some whole unspoken brotherhood for subs who get claimed at the same time, right? Moving in together and stuff. It really did turn out to be an awesome day, I couldn’t be happier.

We’ll always have Paris… and by Paris, I mean classes until I get claimed. I’m not sure Dalton is ready for both of us, but it’s going to happen eventually. The film stuff’s going quite well; I’m actually in the middle of pitching an idea to Sir Cooper as we speak. Nothing’s set in stone, of course, but you might get to feast your eyes on a Gabriel Smythe production sooner than you think.~

Well, that sounds like a whole lot of ‘them problem’. Regardless though, any Dominant would be lucky to have you. We’ll definitely meet up for classes. Maybe I could meet you at the entrance to the McKinley dorms and we could walk together sometime? Seriously? I can’t wait to see it, man! I’m willing to bet it’s going to be awesome. Save me a front row seat at Sundance... or, at least the living room of wherever you get to play it. Good luck with the ‘super famous actor’ though. I’m sure you’ll have a great time. God speed, Spiderman.

McKinley’s not going to be the same without you around, but family dinners just got a whole lot cooler. Congrats, man. You deserve it.

Gabe, we need to get you in here next. Seriously. I’m gonna miss seeing you in the halls all the time. Thank you. I’ve never been quite this happy. How are you? How’s the film stuff going?

Dude, same. And it feels good, doesn’t it? Yeah, I totally get the feeling. Looks too good, feels super great, mine is totally staying. Oh, I’m good. Not much going on, just living the good life. I’m sure you’re great, I’m not even gonna ask. 

It feels really fucking good. Definitely not something I ever thought I’d be into, but definitely not complaining. Especially thanks to who gave me the collar. Based on that answer, I’m assuming the honeymoon phase never goes away. I’m really happy to hear things are going good with you and Darry, Iago. You’re definitely one of the ones here that deserves it. 

You did well, Loup. It was very sweet of you, I’m going to have it framed and put up on my wall. I wouldn’t be surprised if it didn’t start a trend, people are going to want portraits of their own subs up in their suites when they see this one. Yes, you’ll want to pack a bag. 

I can’t wait to be at your side again, Monsieur. McKinley hasn’t quite felt like home since before the mock claims. You’re the first one to have one though, as it should be - being the King of Dalton and all. Yes, Monsieur. I’ll do that right away. Thank you for coming to get me, I miss you.

Daaaamn, look at you. I knew there was a reason the air was different this morning. Congrats, Aaron. Welcome to this side of the courtyard and all that. 

Right? Who would have thought I’d look so hot with a collar around my neck? I’m never taking it off, I swear. Thanks, Iago. How are you?

He did a wonderful job, though it's not hard to make you look amazing. I love it, it's perfect. I had no idea you you were up to anything, sneaky. I'm coming to get you.

I could say the same for you, Monsieur. You never look anything less than amazing. I’m happy you didn’t! It added to the surprise factor of it all. Yes, Monsieur. Should I pack a bag?

Yes, Monsieur? Are you okay? I saw you got the painting too! I hope you liked it. Remy did a good job on it, I think!

I will, I promise. Oh you play? Well now I want and need to hear you play. Maybe we could do some performance together. 

I do! Monsieur actually got me this really cool guitar for Christmas. I use it pretty much every day, when I’m not with him. I’ll totally play for you, and we definitely should do something together sometime. 

Aaron: Bonjour, Monsieur. Comment vas-tu aujourd'hui?
