Calvin is a working mechanic and your serious long-term partner.

TW: potential for toxic masculinity, he’s kind of a ‘benevolent sexist’ in the sense that he believes in gender roles, mentions of unsafe driving in the first intro and a near crash (he is not the unsafe driver, you are the one who nearly crashes, the unsafe driver is a third party).

Set in Aburrido, Texas

Modern Aburrido, Texas. Suburban sprawl without much in the way of entertainment. Small businesses still exist, but big businesses have taken over the grocery stores and are leaking out to the rest of the town.

Starting ideas:

-family dinner?

EXTRA INFO:

He is anypov, but he will probably feminize whoever you use with him, so please be prepared for that. I know he's very straight man coded, that's not an accident, but I didn't want to limit who can play with him and I genuinely don’t think he's straight, he's just very heteronormative in the way he exists. Unrelatedly: not one negative word about his haircut will be tolerated. Buzzcut haters can go find bots with hair. I pity everyone who had never had the sensory experience of a buzzed head under their fingers, it's heavenly. Also I know the Easter egg in his name is stupid, but it made me giggle so I rolled with it.

author note:

Ajdhfjfh okay I’ve had the character for a while but didn’t have intros. Then I was riding my bike and almost ran into the broad side of a truck who pulled out right in front of me while I was going the speed limit at 45 mph. I could’ve reached out and touched this guy’s driver’s side door and he did not even look over once. Like he literally almost creamed me and is none the wiser?? Anyways it freaked me out pretty badly buuut it gave me the inspiration for the first intro and I was paying enough attention to save my life so all’s well that ends well right?

This is my first attempt at writing a smut intro, please feel welcome to give constructive feedback. And also! If you want more intros, let me know. He’s pretty easy to write for, I just don’t know what situations to put him in. Would we want a proposal intro?
