Lay Me Down (MxM)

Character Interview Responses: Round One

Here are the character interview results so far! I will keep the form up and running for now if you guys want to continue to ask questions, and I will have the characters respond after questions have accumulated. Be advised some of the responses in here have some sexually explicit content, so if you are not 18+, don't read, or proceed at your own risk. A reminder that if you wish to submit a character interview question, you can find the link to the form on my Wattpad profile where I usually do announcements.

Without further ado, here we go!

Breezazaa from Wattpad asks Lucas what his earliest memory is!

Lucas: "Hey Bree, that's a pretty good question! If I'm being honest, I don't have a ton of clear memories from my early childhood, but one that always stood out was a trip to the aquarium with my mom. I think I was like four or five I think, and we went with some family friends. I remember I saw this Beluga whale toy in the gift shop, and I was really obsessed with it—something about the way it felt in my hand and the cute little smile on its face. It was rare we had the money for that sort of thing, so I didn't expect to get it, but after we'd left mom surprised me with it on the bus ride home. I was so happy, and I spent the rest of the trip playing with it and fighting with my friend. He wanted to play with it and I didn't want to share. She made us take turns and I was pretty triggered over it, but ya know, she was being a good mom and trying to teach me stuff. I don't remember what happened to that beluga whale toy, and that kind of bothers me to this day... I think It got lost when we moved you know, cause we moved around a lot. But anyway, that's probably my earliest memory, and one of the fond ones I have. Thank you for asking!"

Luna from Wattpad asks all the characters of LMD what would your ideal date be, and how would you like it to end? 😊

Lucas: "oh my god, um, good question, and I'm sure you can guess my answer is gonna be kinda dirty, cause I'm a horny little shit. Um, well, I think my ideal date with Jae would be like something lowkey but fun! Like, a ferry ride to one of the San Juan islands, or like, Orca watching or something. I've always wanted to see the Orca! I would love to go eat some really good food after, dessert and all that, then maybe go to like a fancy hotel and get my back blown out in a candlelit room. Fuck yeah."

Ian: "Easy. I'd wanna go on some kinda adventure with Skye. Like, a hike or somethin' or go to a Seahawks game and scream till we're hoarse. Then maybe a nice drive home, get somethin' ta eat at like a local diner, then find some nice secluded, quiet place to nestle in and look at the stars. End goal? Get laid, obviously. This dick won't suck itself... believe me I've tried. Giggity giggity."

Jae: "Good question, Luna. I'm definitely the romantic type, and I enjoy quality time type of shit. Like, a date where I'd get to spend all the time in the world getting to know Lu, with no time constraints or worries in the world. My dream date would be like, going to an airshow with him. I love airplanes and the local base puts on a show every year. It's so dope, fighter jets buzzing the crowd 800 feet of the deck at subsonic speed. It's exhilarating. Even better would be to go flying together or something, then land somewhere and get some dinner, get a room, and well, you know... I'd love to have my way with that pretty boy."
Ellis Song: "That's such a personal question, but I guess I must answer since the author of this universe demands my cooperation. Ideal date? Quiet. Night. In. I'm usually a homebody. Fetish Play? Depends on how overstimulated I am, and my headspace. Autism is an ever-present thing in my life, so I try to take care of my needs best I can to help with staying regulated."

Skye: "I love that you asked! Easy. I'd wanna nestle in and binge my favorite anime and eat my fav foods, maybe play some fun board games or video games! Then, make Ian my bitch.😊"

JYESHA from Inkitt asks why Ian and Lucas are so oblivious, and says they must see how they feel for each other!

Ian: "Um... that's a good question, but I kinda don't know how to answer it right now. I've never really considered exploring my sexuality so far in life, and the thought hasn't really come to mind yet. I'll admit I've started feeling things about my best friend, and I think part of me is afraid to admit that to myself. I just sort of feel confused, and I don't understand this new shit in my head, but I know one thing's for sure, that I can't lose Luca. But then there's Skye, and I can't ignore the feelings I have for her—I've been scared to voice it to her, but for the first time I really am feelin' something for someone. It's not just sex, I want more... I want a relationship. I just don't know if she wants the same. Shit is just... complicated."

Lucas: "It's a good question, but it's a complex answer from me. What I have with Ian, it's so precious, it feels like one of those once-in-a-lifetime friendships, the kind I can't afford to lose. Coming out to Ian was intimidating, scary even, but he accepted me anyway. I've fantasized about... well, being intimate with him in the past, but it made me feel ashamed. I haven't really had the time to figure out yet what it was I felt when we were sitting there together in the wake of my coming out, the feeling between us when he put his head on my lap. It was intimate in a way that surprised me, and I haven't honestly begun to suspect whether Ian could ever be interested in me. How could I? He's always been straight for as long as I've known him, and pushing the subject scares me. What if I pushed him away? What if did irreparable damage to our friendship? I love him as a friend first and foremost, and I'd wanted to love him differently all the same in the past, but what we want isn't always what we get. The universe sometimes has different plans. Plus, I'm feeling so much for Jae too... maybe we don't know each other well yet, but I have a feeling that maybe... maybe we could be so much more than fuckbuddies if we let ourselves explore this."

Thunder from Tapas asks Lucas: What is your dream car, and favorite icecream flavor?

Lucas: "Shit, I've had so much time to think about this question. My dream car would have to be a brand-new, black and red, souped-up Volkswagen golf. I'd decorate it with decals and shit, stuff from my favorite anime (Hellsing Ultimate is one of my top favs). I love driving manual, and I've always loved the idea of street racing or some shit like that, but it's always been a distant dream. I've never had the money or the time to do something like that, and Jae would probably scold me anyway for getting into illegal street racing or whatever. 😉 As to icecream? Easy. Oreo Cookies & Cream. A superior flavor."

GermanShepherd from Tapas asks Ellis: what made you want to become a Dom?

Ellis: "That's an excellent question. I suppose it's a give-in to say that it all started with my sexual interests. I'd been very interested in the world of BDSM for several years but hadn't the nerve to step into that world. I wasn't quite sure where I'd fit in it at first, but I knew I had a strong interest in the dominant side of things. Naturally, I did some exploring during university, and I wasn't entirely pleased with the result of some of that exploration, for reasons I won't discuss here. Ultimately, I'll say that I struggle on a daily basis being autistic in a world not made for people like me. I can't control my environment, or anything in it, but rather must adapt and mask in a way that makes people view me in a "normal" light. Adapt in a way that allows me to function in a world that otherwise stresses me out. I hate using the word normal, as I feel what's "normal" in life is more subjective than anything, but I digress. When I began exploring being a dominate, I found a lot of relief came with it, and a sense of peace. It allowed me to be in control of my own environment for once, rather than have to adapt to it. It gave me a sense of confidence, and also honestly helped improve my interpersonal skills. It gave me a healthy outlet to explore my kinks and fetishes, while also getting a lot of pleasure from playing with, punishing, and pleasing my submissives in a safe, healthy way. Most of all, I enjoy the responsibility of creating that safe space, of dreaming up scenes, and more. It's like being able to escape to a different headspace, a different world, and not feel so alien for once. I suppose I am a bit long-winded, but I hope that answer suffices."

Ghostie from Tapas asks Ellis: what made you want to become a teacher?

Ellis: "Ah, another good question! The answer this time is quite simple, really. Growing up with undiagnosed autism, school (and life in general) was incredibly difficult for me. I struggled to fit in, interact, and cope with the world around me. I ran into educators who shoved me aside and dismissed me, who didn't care about my academic success or learning needs. I have some learning disabilities, but struggled to get the support I needed in high school especially. But then I also saw the impact of what one good teacher can make on a student; for me that was my math teacher back in the day. He saw me when other teachers didn't, and he was one of the people who kept me going. When I went to university, I just had this strong desire to make a positive difference as an educator like that math teacher had for me, despite the struggles I had at the time socially and whatnot. After I got diagnosed with autism, life started to make sense, sort of like finding a lost piece of the puzzle if you will. I stopped feeling broken, went easier on myself. It helped me realize that I was never broken, just... autistic. My brain is just wired differently. As difficult as it can be for me to socialize day in and day out, while dealing with all the sensory issues and triggers that come with interacting with students, I feel it's worth it. I get to create a safe space for my students and feel I can offer a different perspective as an autistic person than maybe a neurotypical educator might. Meaning, I suppose that I have understanding for those students with neurodiverse needs, and a desire to make their time in my class as positive as possible. I wanted to make a difference and make up for the poor educators who'd left me behind in the past, by helping today's youth. If I could help one student leave Sherman feeling seen, heard, successful, and supported, then I've done my job."

Lastly, IMTHEBESTSTAR from Inkitt asks Lucas: Do you want your cherry popped by Jae?

Lucas: "Hehe, that's a give-in. I'm a horny little shit and I can admit that. I fantasize about Jae using all my holes, and I'm not gonna stop bothering him about it till he ties me up and rails me stupid. Hope that answers your question! 😉 "
