#braunsol ๐Ÿ“บ๐ŸฆŒ kim soleum is a broke college student, suffering from insomnia, being crushed under the weight of exams and assignments..and the only way he can get a peaceful nights sleep is...by listening to Mr. Brauns late night talkshow. (1/?)
2
braun is a show star, known well across the globe! every night, on the dot, he comes on live. his voice is so comforting, with just the right richness and timbre, soothing soleums weary soul. unconsciously, soleum has become dependent on him, connecting his voice to relaxation.
3
(yes, braun still has his tv head, don't question why, that's just him)
4
so imagine soleums shock and delight when he hears that braun is visiting HIS college to interact with the students!! he's so excited. he knows braun won't notice him among the sea of students, but just seeing him in person is to die for!
5
however, braun does notice him. almost immediately. after all, he has an eye for talent! and he can tell soleum has the makings of a star. he interacts and picks out soleum a lot during the show. soleums knees are all weak and he feels like he is going to DIEE
6
after the show, in an eฬถnฬถgฬถiฬถnฬถeฬถeฬถrฬถeฬถdฬถ coincidence, soleum runs into braun again! braun invites him backstage, and although he's scared, there's no way he can refuse, right? this is a once in a lifetime chance!! to see brauns dressing room!!
7
braun is so attentive,, soleum knows its probably just because he's a nice person, but braun taking interest in him makes him feel like he's in cloud nine..braun sits with him in the lounge and asks him questions about his life and hobbies..
8
all inane things, but soleum spills out every detail. braun is so charismatic, even off camera!! he feels so ๐™จ๐™–๐™›๐™š with braun.
9
that night...soleum can't fall asleep..even to brauns show.
why?
because he's waiting for a call from braun. braun...took his number..soleum has..brauns phone number. the actual thing.
10
braun calls him up and chats with him casually about what happened when preparing for the show, shares his internal thoughts. soleum is curled up in bed, with the phone next to his pillow. without the show noises, it's just brauns deep voice, filtered through his phone speakers
11
..into his heart. soleum responds quickly at first, but slowly it delves into sleepy mumbles, and then he nods off.
12
the next morning, he wakes up, feelings refreshed and well rested. it only seems he's forgotten something a bit important...hmm..
13
...he looks at his phone screen. braun hasn't cut off the call. soleum fell asleep on call with his idol. with no warning.
14
he's so mortified! braun laughs and comforts him, wishing him good morning, saying it's all fine, and it's cute that soleum finds his voice so soothing! he's flattered, really. if soleum wants, from now on, braun will call him ๐™š๐™ซ๐™š๐™ง๐™ฎ ๐™ฃ๐™ž๐™œ๐™๐™ฉ.
15
and he actually does. it's not a passing interest. soleum is sure at first that braun will get bored with him soon. after all, his life is so uninteresting, just daily college life. but braun cares. he wants to hear about every detail.
16
so soleum tells him every detail of his life. there's no need for privacy between good friends, right? braun is his good friend. soleum has never met somebody kinder.
17
somehow, eventually..soleum ends up receiving financial support from braun. braun says it's only right to nourish a flower with such potential. on one condition, of course. soleum will have to do an internship at brauns talkshow when he graduates!
18
but that's okay, right? after all, he's always loved the talkshow. working on the talkshow ๐™ž๐™จ ๐™๐™ž๐™จ ๐™™๐™ง๐™š๐™–๐™ข. and he can quit ๐™ฌ๐™๐™š๐™ฃ๐™š๐™ซ๐™š๐™ง he wants! braun wouldn't force him. but why would he want to ๐™ฆ ๐™ช ๐™ž ๐™ฉ ?
19
ahaha! ahem. anyways...
Soleums college life has become so much easier now that Braun is his friend. The professor who used to push him around..is gone. His financial worries, juggling jobs and assignments..none of it is necessary now.
20
After all, he has the support of his good friend. It's only right for friends to support each other.
21
......
Eventually, braun coaxes soleum into moving in with him. An apartment in the city is too dangerous. What if Soleum gets hurt? We can't have that. Besides, the lease would be up soon, and the landlords not renewing...
22
..apparently, somebody offered a lot more to just buy the apartment. it's only logical for soleum to move in with braun. it's a comfortable and secure choice. he won't even have to pay rent!
23
// okay coughs I'll continue later
24
// alright I'll continue,, but ๐Ÿ”ž warning, dubcon as braunsol tends to be
25
living with braun is really amazing. all his meals are taken care of by braun. all his clothes are taken care of by braun. all his shopping is taken care of by braun. all soleum needs to focus on is what's important: his education.
26
// I LIED ILL CONTINUE LATER
27
It's just a pity that brauns house is so far off from college...soleum has no time to hang out with friends anymore. all this travel is too much of a bother, and he can't bring them over to brauns house! a star needs his privacy, after all.
28
soleum has been growing more and more distant with his friends, but his best friend is always there for him. even though braun has a lot of events to attend, he always makes time for soleum.
29
he even offers to massage soleum! brauns hands are so big and warm, just a touch makes soleums sore muscles relax. soleum wonders if brauns done this before, he's really so talented! braun says a ๐™›๐™ช๐™ฉ๐™ช๐™ง๐™š ๐™จ ๐™จ ๐™จ ๐™จ ๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™–๐™ง needs to take care of his body.
30
soleums really not sure about that..after all, he's no good at entertaining people, and his degree isn't even geared towards that sector! brauns expectations seem too high, he's a little nervous.

b u t

braun does know him well. it's almost like he can read soleums thoughts.
31
maybe, just maybe..the internship won't turn out too badly. anyways, he knows braun will support him regardless, so soleum won't worry about it too much!
32
the days bleed into each other and fade.
oh, look at the date. it's already time for his internship.

he's known braun for well over a โ– โ– โ– โ–  now, but he's not been to brauns studio yet..or any studio in his life, really. he's only seen the behind the scenes cuts on video.
33
brauns studio has a certain quirk. all the employees wear masks. it's to avoid any possible scandals or distractions, according to braun.
the internet does read into expressions too much.
soleum is uncertain at first, will he also have to wear a mask?
34
braun tilts soleums chin back and leans in close. the darkness of the screen draws soleum in, turning his thoughts to static.

this must be the charm of a host. soleums never been so close before.
35
braun lets go, and a smile flashes on the screen. it would be a pity to hide away such a fine face from the world.

well, it's not like soleum will be going on stage..but he's glad he doesn't have to wear a stifling mask.
36
finding his place in the studio is much easier than expected. it's relieving! everybody is so friendly and supportive of soleum. and helping braun pick out guests, forming a loose script, and seeing the audience laugh..it's all so ๐™š๐™ญ๐™๐™ž๐™ก๐™–๐™ง๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ.
37
he never thought his obsession with celebrities and media would help him like this. even standing backstage, he feels the electricity in the air, and the audiences collective up and down of emotions takes him along in their flow. he loses himself in the moment of it all.
38
the resonant melody of gasps and laughter reaches the heart, led by the conductor, the host. such wit, such charm! an allure you can't deny, drawing you in close, keeping you at the edge of your seat, waiting for more.
39
...

the curtains finally draw to a close, and the spell breaks with the first clap. soleum finds himself back on his feet, wavering in place. his knees are weak. he really...lost himself for a second there.

braun walks offstage to the wing where soleum is standing.
40
he places a hand in soleums shoulder. the weight is steadying. the heat is searing.

did soleum enjoy it? how was his first experience, seeing it all up close?

it was..
๐™–๐™ข๐™–๐™ฏ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ.
it's impossible to not like it.

thank you for the opportunity, mr. host!
41
now, it's been a few weeks since he started his internship. soleum didn't know he had such a touch for such things! he's really getting a handle on this.
42
braun is full of praise for him. every morning, they eat together. every afternoon, braun takes him out to excercise or experience something new. every evening, they pore over the script together. every night, they return home together, with soleum often dozing off in the car.
43
this is the ๐—ฝ ๐—ฒ ๐—ฟ ๐—ณ ๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ ๐˜ life. there's not a moment of boredom, not anymore. not with braun, the most excellent friend in the whole world.

still, soleum is a little taken aback when braun suggests that perhaps, *soleum* should also try going on stage!
44
it'll only be for a small segment to start with, just interacting with the audience. but while soleums good at creating the script, he doesn't think he can perform it. besides, this is just an internship. showing up on air, isn't it solidifying it all?
45
soleum also has other avenues to try..as much as he loves working for the talkshow, he doesn't think he has the battery to keep up with it..he's dedicated many years to his degree, and he can't let it all go to waste.
46
didn't he also have a โ– โ– โ–  lined up at โ– โ– โ– โ– โ– โ– โ– โ– ? leโ–  โ– โ– heon recommended him. he doesn't want to disappoint his senioโ–  without giving it a try.

...

when was the last time he heard from his senioโ–  again?
47
oh, right. he broke his phone when moving into brauns house..it couldn't be recovered, but braun bought him a new phone and had his data transferred. it seems he lโ– st a few contacts along the way? but how could he just..fโ– rget like that?
48
it's difficult to remember now. the past seems so blurry.

but if you've forgotten it, it's probably not that important.

so don't worry about it, ๐˜ง๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ!

.
.

that's what braun would say. he's probably right.

soleum still has to work on the script for tonight.
49
sigh! after a lot of convincing and coaxing from braun, soleum hesitantly agrees to try out a little piece on stage. the moment he says the words, he can't believe himself! what if he messes up? it's being aired *live*!
50
right up until the few minutes before the show, soleum is still feeling slightly nauseous and frightfully nervous. he's dressed in a bespoke suit that's a smaller version of brauns. he feels like he could faint. he would prefer to die.
51
braun pats his shoulder, and the pool of impending doom in his stomach settles a little. braun personally checks over soleums outfit, examining his face, smoothing out even the smallest creases. he tightens soleums tie slightlg, but his hand doesn't stop there.
52
brauns hand is large, to the point it could very easily wrap around soleums neck.

his thumb settles on the hollow of soleums throat, and everything amplifies and falls away all at once.
53
the floor beneath him opens up. he's only still standing here because of the single point of the contact between them. brauns warmth leaches in, in, even through his leather gloves. it crawls across his skin, enters his blood, rushes through his body, into his heart and lungs.
54
the hair at his nape is slightly damp. the lights are bright and warm, but soleum is hidden in the shadow casted by braun. the only thing he can see and feel is the host. other emotions are meaningless, all noises are pointless. soleum is too aware of how he exists in his body.
55
he's too aware of his skin. there's a prickling sensation over his body like insects are burrowing in. they drink, drink it all away, the useless thoughts, his inutile mโ– morโ– โ– s.

soleum doesn't need to fret over such things.

the hosts hand falls away.
56
he only needs to be here. with the host, on the show, engaging the audience. this is where he belongs. this is what he's mโ– de for.
57
. . .

soleum is on stage.

soleum is between the audience seats.

they are looking at him. they are smiling. they love him. he loves...he loves this ๐™› ๐™š ๐™š ๐™ก ๐™ž ๐™ฃ ๐™œ.

soleum is back on stage. brauns hand interlaces with his as they wave and bow.
58
and it is so warm warm warm. their gazes, his body, the air in the room. so hot. he thinks he's melting away. so unbearable. so delightful. terrifying. electrifying. all wrong, all right.

he follows the host backstage like a doll. his joints are melding together.
59
braun helps him sit down. they're in the private lounge.

did soleum get too excited? it's natural. this is the fervor and thrill of the show. this is what it is to become a true ๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™–๐™ง. this is the feeling you live and die for.
60
brauns hands slide down his body. first goes his tie, then his jacket, then his shirt. should be embarrassed? but what need is there to be embarrassed?
61
such emotions are unnecessary between good friends. we already know each others hearts, and the skin is only a mechanical barrier. there's no shame in having it lay bare, or in inviting touch.
62
soleum thought braun would help him cool down, yet now he is boiling. but he has to trust. he must trust the host.

the jade of his skin slowly turns to a shade of blossom pink. the air between them is sticky and humid. soleums legs are trembling in this position.
63
he struggles for a second, then falls limp. the butterfly is certainly beautiful in the garden, but to preserve its beauty, we must pin it down. just be careful not to break those lovely but fragile wings.

the waves of pleasure wash everything away.
64
soleum stares up at the ceiling in a daze. it's all blurry. braun didn't turn on the lights. the illumination in the room is the silver of moonlight, peeking through the window, casting everything in gentle silver.
65
braun is still speaking, but he sounds far away.

soleum is very far away.

he's back to all those months ago, back to his old apartment. he is in his room, curled up in bed, and brauns show is playing by his bedside. the voice filtering through the speakers is muffled.
66
soleum doesn't have an air conditioner, so it's all too warm. too sticky. but brauns voice soothes him, even if he can't make out the words.

it takes away the aches and pains of life. it relaxes him, and leads him into the embrace of the night.

soleums eyes drift close.
67
/// DONE..boom..I don't know what happened at the end or who took control of the pen. probably braun! ^^ this isn't a story, more like a rough outline, twitter doesn't allow for detail so it's lacking in quality, which makes me quite unhappy ;; wuwu thanks for reading
