Yup. Pretty sure you'll be safe with these guys protecting you.

Ok. Except for Mike. But I can explain! He's learned a thing or two since joining the Brothers. You'll see! I swear it! 🙈🤣

Frankie wanting movie night every single Friday night just so he can find increasingly inventive ways to wreck your ass into the early hours of the weekend?

SIGN ME UP

Reader, when Frankie even mentions movie night:

i have a couple ideas/wips that deal with javi after leaving the dea, but those are for a later date…

(also, after i wrote this i realized readers plotline isn’t super normal. imagine that she’s an american expat, met javi while in colombia, moved in with him there, and moved back to the us with him.)

javi left the dea filled with rage. every turn in his last year, there were people, people he was supposed to trust and depend upon, who would stop him.

working with his father for a while was the only thing that helped him calm down.

it was a long process, where you, staying with the peña’s in laredo for the time being, woke up to an empty bed and didn’t see javi until lunch time, when he game in, sweaty and exhausted

usually chucho was scolding him for pushing himself too far and you were never sure when to step in

you always are lunch with him and sat on the couch for an hour or so to watch the news in silence.

you usually ended up asleep on his lap

evenings after chucho went to bed were slow and quiet and intense in a way you never expected

some nights he’d break down and cry and you would just hold him against your chest

other nights you’d explore each others’ bodies, your touch light and full of intent

his hands were firm and sometimes he’d hold you as tight as he could without hurting you and you knew it was because he needed to know you were there and real

he’d wake up sometimes in the middle of the night

after the first few nights where he’d disappear for an hour to walk around the property, you made sure he’d wake you up

you would ask him to tell you about it

when he didn’t want to talk he’d ask you to ramble on about your dreams

after three months, you had started looking around for houses in laredo, not wanting to be a burden on chucho anymore

you told javi one night

“who says we have to stay in laredo?”

you didn’t know how to respond to that

“i thought you wanted to be here with your family”

“i wanted to get away, that’s why i joined…”

he still hadn’t said ‘dea’ since he left. just the mention of it was enough to tick him off.

“oh.”

you asked him where he wanted to go and he didn’t know

“what if we took a road trip? we could spend a month or two just going around the us. seeing what we like. relaxing.”

“…i’d like that.”

you pulled him in closer and pressed a kiss onto his lips

it had been a long time since you had gotten him to agree to something relaxing

“i bet my dad will be glad we’re out of the house for a while,” javier smirked

I’m glad at least someone is excited, haha. It’s been so long since I’ve written anything XD

Hey lovely, it’s so good to be back!
