There is a small sealed container left in the open. It appears to be an old lunch box of some kind but the picture was long ago faded by the harsh Aussie sun and wind. Inside, should Roo check, is a cupcake with a note under it. "𝒴𝑜𝓊 𝒶𝓇𝑒 𝓁𝑜𝓋𝑒𝒹, 𝓂𝓎 𝓁𝒾𝓉𝓉𝓁𝑒 𝓈𝓅𝓇𝒾𝓃𝑔𝓇𝑜𝓁𝓁."

Poor Roo didn't have anyone to help him read the pretty script anymore. That's why he put off eating it for so long. He missed his family... but at least Doc hadn't vanished yet.

Stuffing the stale cake into his mouth, he crept up on Doc, and sprang onto his back to nuzzle his gaunt cheek. Crumbs got everywhere, but getting messy was the price one paid to be close with Roo.

"Wot's this say?" He waved the note in front of Doc's goggles. "More'a them pretty words ya always write me?" The way the young Rat acted, one would never know how terribly he felt.

BEAUTIFUL PERSON AWARD! Once you are given this award you’re supposed to paste it in the asks of 8 people who deserve it. If you break the chain nothing happens, but it’s sweet to know someone thinks you’re beautiful inside and out 💕💕💕 ((I know you already have it but Doc was insistent))

"Love ye, vati~"

"Kiss me if I'm wrong but my goggles are red, right?" Was he just fishing for a kiss and attention? Yes. Shamelessly so.

Were they? Color was subjective, wasn't it? Like... there was no guarantee that two people saw colors the same way, right?

Roo squints for a very long time before grabbing Doc's cheeks and planting a big smooch on his lips.

While Doc has been busy, cleaning up his place, tending to his hens and the more... He needs but a small break. A moment completely dedicated to none other than his Firefly. 

This is why there is a page neatly folded in half and placed under Roo's own fraglauncher. When it might be found in uncertain but perhaps when it is discovered it might be a time in which that Junkroo needs reminding that he is loved.

A white envelope sealed with a large red heart sticker is slide under the door. Inside is a soft pink card with bold handwriting that reads: 𝓘𝓷𝓼𝓲𝓭𝓮 𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓼 𝓬𝓪𝓻𝓭 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝔀𝓲𝓵𝓵 𝓯𝓲𝓷𝓭 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓼𝔀𝓮𝓮𝓽𝓮𝓼𝓽 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓶𝓸𝓼𝓽 𝓼𝓮𝔁𝔂 𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓼 𝔀𝓸𝓻𝓵𝓭 𝓱𝓪𝓼 𝓽𝓸 𝓸𝓯𝓯𝓮𝓻!     

There is a bit of weight to the card that seems strange until it is opened up. The inside of it is lined in red paper with a heart cutout in the middle of it. In it's negative space is a mirror perfectly placed so that Roo will see himself within the heart. 

Above the mirror heart is more writing. 𝓘𝓽 𝓲𝓼 𝔂𝓸𝓾!

Under the heart it says: 𝓗𝓪𝓹𝓹𝔂 𝓥𝓪𝓵𝓮𝓷𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓮'𝓼 𝓓𝓪𝔂, 𝓕𝓲𝓻𝓮𝓯𝓵𝔂. 𝓔𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓷𝓪𝓵𝓵𝔂 𝔂𝓸𝓾𝓻𝓼,

𝓙.𝓙.

Once again, Roo had trouble deciphering the pretty letter, but the heart sticker clued him in that it was something meant to be romantic. This was personal, private. So, he didn't want to go to Hog for help; he wanted to do this himself. It took longer than necessary, but with concentration he parsed through it. Thankfully, his sweet Doccy-woc had used more simplistic language this time.

His reflection lit up in the mirror when he got to it, blush peppering his speckled cheeks. He was so grateful for this silly man. Smiling affectionately at the card, he carefully wrapped it in a spare bit of cloth and stored it in his hip pouch. Time to go find Doc!

Doc takes Roo's flesh hand with his own prosthetic one without a word. Roo looks as if he could use another bath really but Doc isn't going to press the matter right now. Instead Junkenstein brushes his thumb over bare knuckles before bringing them up to his mouth for a light kiss.

A giddy, warm feeling flooded his chest. Doc's civvie tenderness was a breath of fresh air out here. The kisses were embarrassing though-- such an honest display of affection.

"Ya dunno where tha' hand has been," he joked weakly.

"You aren't stupid," Junkenstein protests as he peels and orange. "Stop telling people you are." Breaking up the fruit into segments just barely connected at the bottom, Doc hands the fruit down to Roo.

"I can be."

He takes the orange and jams as much of it into his mouth as he can. "Plenty gay, at least!"

"Your's," Junkenstein spoke though it was difficult to tell if it came out in an accepting or questioning tone. Hands resting loosely over Roo's rear as he stared down at him. One word down. the rest were sure to find their way with time.

"Too roight," he beamed up at him, showing off a mouthful of crooked teeth. "An' I'll blow up any bloke or sheila who thinks'a takin' my property."

That being said, Roo pressed his face into the lab coat, nuzzling the older man and clinging to him as if his life depended on it.

Doc appears behind Roo and wraps his arms tightly around his middle, nearly picking the younger man up as he squeezes him tight, pulling the other closer to himself. A sharp huff of air leaving him just before he nuzzles his face into Roo's neck. "Meins."

His legs kick in surprise when he was lifted but quickly calm at the warm tone. A soft, goofy smile spread over Roo's face as he leaned into the embrace. "You roight cuddly bastard~ Ya alright?"

As much as he loved the contact, usually people wanted hugs when they were sad, toey, or possessive, right? At least, that was his skewed understanding of loving touches.

Intoxicated and stroking one of Roo's prosthetic, Doc mumbled in a sing songy tune. "I don't want a lot for Christmas, there is just one thing I need! I don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree~" Doc nuzzles his face into the hard metal as if it were flesh, just desperate to show affection. "I just want Roo for my own, more than Roo could ever know. Make my wish come true! Oh all I want for Christmas is Roo~"

"Ya silly, tit." Roo giggled, ruffling Doc's hair since he was tightly clung to his metal legs.

"Got anymore'a tha' rum, Doc? I'd love ta get equally pissed, if ye don't mind."

It took Roo several long minutes to get through the letter he found on his person. How had it gotten there in the first place? Curious, indeed. Regardless, Roo wasn't the most literate person. Sure, they had taught him to read the bible at the orphanage, but none of it had been in cursive-- that was a whole new level! After asking Prime for some help deciphering the pretty script, Roo sat puzzling over it.

There had been no signature...

However, bachelor buttons... He remembered someone telling him about them once. There had been a conversation about how Roo preferred being compared to something sturdier than a flower, like a cactus or a succulent.

That was it! Junkenstein had said he reminded him of a bachelor button because they were pretty and he liked to... eat them. He giggled at the memory, cheeks lightly flushed. "Sweet, ole bugger," he mumbled, folding the note up and storing it in his hip satchel. He would have to write him one too.

Doc grabs Roo by the thick leather straps of his bomb harness with both hands to yank him suddenly against himself. Eyes bright as he looks down at the younger man affectionately. "I have something for you," Junkenstein purrs. It is then he kisses Roo firmly, hands moving from the harness to find lithe hips. A wet pop when they part. "Wait. I messed that up." The good doctor kissing Junkroo again only to get the corner of Roo's mouth. "Oops~ I'm terrible at this. How about you kiss me instead?~"

The agressive way in which Doc pulled him close made Roo think he was about to get his ass kicked. But it was Doc-- there was no way the sweet older man would fight him. What reason would he have to? Still, he flinched until lips covered his own.

Without missing a beat, not even really registering the other's playful tone, he dove in. The haste made the kiss sloppy, their noses knocking together, but Roo didn't take any mind of it as he indulged the German. Touch was to Roo, like water was to a dehydrated man lost in the desert. He drank up the attention as if he would never see it again.

Roo sat dumbfounded after Roadhog finished reading him the letter. Of course, he could tell it was Doc's-- that handwriting was so flowery and hard to read, he couldn't mistake it for anyone else's. These poems Junkenstein insisted on writing to him always left him puzzled, yet his belly buzzed with warmth, feeling as if a million fireflies were trying to burst out of him. What imagery...

"Shouldn't stare inta th' sun," he joked as he took back the paper, gaze affectionate as it scanned over the script. "We'd burn extra bright if I lit us on fire. Think Doc would go fa that?"

Roo glanced up from the page, cheesy grin on his face. There was something in the grunt Prime responded with that made Roo picture the mismatched eyes hidden by the mask rolling at his stupidity. That was fine; he was used to it.

On fire together... burned down until their ashes mixed... There was something morbidly romantic about that. Perhaps even a tad poetic? Regardless, he carefully folded the note and tucked it safely within his hip pouch where he was amassing quite a collection of his beloved Doc's love notes.

Uh oh... that was a dreaded question. It meant Doc was considering bathing him or forcing him to bathe himself. Hygiene was just such a hassle honestly. Besides, if he cleaned his skin, he would roast in the blazing Outback sun. The layers of ash were like a protective barrier from the harsh UV rays.

Maybe if he avoided the question, Doc would forget he asked it? "Yer so cheesy! Kinda loike it though. Ya come up wif these lines loike it's a brie-eeze. Real gouda~"
