missmara13Day Five! A little late, sorry about that, but here it is. LBYH'Verse, taking place when Lucy is fourteen.
"What is everyone whispering about?" Lucy asked Teigan as she stopped next to her friend's locker.
"Chris says you guys slept together," Teigan said, shrugging. "Everyone believes him."
"Why? I'm not... I'd never... I have never..."
"He's hot, he's popular... and you don't talk to them to deny..."
Lucy turned towards Chris' locker, her jaw tight as she glared at his back. "Get someone to ask me," she said. "He'll regret being a lying ass."
~~~
"Is it true?" Mia asked, flicking her hair over her shoulder. "You and Chris had sex?"
Lucy bit her lip. "Well... I'm not sure it counts," she said. "I didn't... you know..."
"Get off?"
"Feel anything," Lucy finished in a hushed voice. "You know, when he... I thought he was just being nice and using his pinkie to... get me ready? Then he kept going and was grunting and had has hands on my hips and it was like... wow. I can do better with my pinkie. But he seemed to enjoy it."
"Oh my god..." Mia said, jaw dropped open. "He's always bragging about how big he is..."
"I was not impressed," Lucy said. "I was just... disappointed."
"Oh my god," Mia repeated.
"What?" Skylar asked as she joined them.
"Apparently, Chris is tiny," Mia said in a scandalous tone that made her meaning clear, and waggling a pinkie finger for emphasis.
"Oh my god..."

Ryan wasn't thrilled to get called by Harbor during a meeting and have to leave work to deal with a 'serious situation' regarding Lucy's behavior. When he arrived at the office, he found Lucy working on her math homework and raised an eyebrow. "What did you do?" he asked.
"He started it," Lucy replied as the door opened and Dean Hess gestured for them to come in.
Ryan pasted on his 'Newpsie' smile, which turned genuine when he saw Dr. Kim was present, shaking the woman's hand. "What's going on, Dr. Kim?" he asked as he straightened his suit jacket and took a seat, Lucy in the chair beside him and a young man sitting across from them, bracketed by his own parents, a duo Ryan recognized from Newpsie parties.
"Lucy started a rumor regarding Chris'... ahem..." Dr. Kim began.
"She's telling everyone I have a small dick!" Chris said, angry.
Ryan looked at him, then over to Lucy, who shrugged. "Is that..."
"No! I'm huge!" Chris protested.
"Not what I was going to ask her and not something I need or want to hear," Ryan said, holding up a hand to forestall any further interruption. "Did you spread the rumor?"
"I didn't spread it," Lucy said. "I just started it."
"It's sexual harassment!" Chris' father started.
"So is your ass of a son claiming I slept with him!" Lucy countered. "All he has to do is admit he's a lying piece of shit trying to trash my reputation, and I will admit that yeah, obviously I have no clue about his dick since I didn't sleep with him and never want to."
"Seems to me, he needs to say two words to fix this," Ryan said.
"What?" Chris' mother asked.
"He just needs to say, exact quote, 'I lied'," Ryan said. "Maybe expand it a bit... be specific that he never slept with my daughter because she has better taste than to let trash touch her."
"Where do you get off..." Chris' father began.
"He made claims things about my daughter's body, she countered with claims about his," he said, shrugging his shoulders. "I really don't see why she's the only one considered to be in trouble. Ever heard of turnabouts fair play? Good for the goose, good for the gander? An eye for an eye?"
"She's ruining his reputation!"
"For what?" Ryan asked. "Having a big dick? He's fifteen, he shouldn't be using it yet!"
"Everyone knows she only exists because you were whoring around with trash at their age," Chris' father spit out.
"So... I'm trash for having sex at fifteen, but your son is big man on campus?" Ryan asked. "Wow, hypocrisy at it's finest!"
"Unlike you we have proper breeding and understand how people should behave!" Chris' mother said.
"And everyone knows the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, and we both know about your husband's little proclivities, don't we?" Ryan snapped back, silencing the room.
"I... I don't know what you're..." Chris' father stammered.
"I still have the tape," Ryan said, his voice ice cold. "Would you like to see what happens if I release it to the public?"
"What is he talking about?" Chris' mother asked.
"I have no idea..." Chris' father said, though the near panic on his face said otherwise.
Ryan stared him down for another moment, then turn to Dr. Kim. "I'm sure our lawyers will love filing the harassment lawsuit against you, your son, this school."
"I don't think that's necessary," Dr. Kim began, clearly aware that she had lost control of the situation.
"Let me put this simply, so you can all understand it. My daughter is not a victim, I have raised her to know her worth, and know it is not being humiliated by little boys who think they're big strong men. And I will not stop telling her that now that she, and everyone else your son has lied about, or will lie about in the future, needs to hear it most of all." Ryan slowly got to his feet, straightening his jacket again. "Come on, Lucy, we'll go see your Grandpa Sandy, see if his firm can handle this... or maybe go ahead and skip ahead to Great-Grandpa Caleb's legal team. I'm sure Connor would love to handle it for us."
"Ryan, please, sit down," Dr. Kim said.
"All he has to do is admitted he's a lying little prick... sorry, figure of speech," he said as an aside. "We won't file charges or a lawsuit against anyone. Oh, unless he ever bothers my daughter again. Then he we will long for the days of rumors of regarding his disappointing endowment," Ryan said, his tone like ice. "Now, are either of them suspended?"
"I want her kicked out!" Chris' father said.
"Okay, so you do want a lawsuit, great," Ryan said to him before looking back to Dr. Kim.
"If he admits he lied, publicly, will you do the same, Lucy?" Dr. Kim asked.
"Sure," Lucy said. "Seems fair. But he admits it first. And if he lies again, I get to castrate him."
"Lucy," Ryan said slowly, trying very hard to keep the amusement out of his voice.
"Fine, if he lies again we sue his ass," Lucy amended.
"Seems settled to me," Ryan said. "Come on Lucy, I'm thinking Thai for a late lunch?"
~~~
"What tape were you talking about?" Lucy asked once she and Ryan were sitting in his office at the Newport Group, eating their Thai.
Ryan sighed. "This does not leave this room," he told her firmly, waiting for her to nod before he continued. "When I came back to Newport with you, I had to go to the Newpsie parties, which I hated. A big part of why I hated them is because... quite a few Newpsies would proposition me, offer me money to... you know."
"You were sixteen," Lucy said, horrified.
"And they were doing it when I first in Newport and fifteen," Ryan said. "One night, when you were a couple months old, there was a Christmas party at the yacht club, and Chris' father approached me..."
"He propositioned you?" Lucy asked.
"Yup. And he did the same the next two parties, too," Ryan said. "I tried to just ignore him, walk away... but he was very... pushy about it. A couple months later, there was a party at Sandy and Kirsten's, and I had a feeling he would try again. So I told Summer what had been going on, and she kept an eye out. When he approached me, she hid nearby and used her phone to tape the whole conversation. From me telling him to leave me alone, to him offering to pay me, to him trying to herd me into another room away from the party. When he grabbed my arm, Summer ran over, let him see she was taping, and I told him if he ever talked to me again, I would make sure everyone knew what he did. Today was the first time in fourteen years that I talked to that... so-called man."
"Oh my god," Lucy said. "That's... disturbing."
"Yeah," Ryan agreed. "That's why I will not let you get bulldozed by the predator son of a predator. And I am so proud of you for fighting back with something other than fists."
"Aunt Summer says if I need to resort to physical violence, stabbing with forks is the far superior method," Lucy said, smiling when her dad laughed. "Did I ever tell you how much of an awesome bad ass I think you are?"
"A couple times, yeah," Ryan said, nodding. "You're pretty bad ass yourself, kid," he added.
"I learned from the best."
The End
I have a personal head canon that Ryan had Newpsies, male and female, flirting with him at parties.
The whole 'I get to castrate him' line is from Summer's influence on Lucy... lol
Ryan briefly mentions Connor in this, saying he'd love to handle a lawsuit for them... yeah, mor like Connor would live to destroy anyone who hurt Lucy in anyway. Yes, Ryan and Connor are a couple in this, they've been together almost a decade and Connor loves Lucy like his own, just like Ryan, he would burn down the world to protect her and get justice and revenge for her.
