Dinah: “What was the first rule of the Caboose emotional support task force?”

Electra: “Don’t let him crash people…”

Dinah: “Then what happened?”

Electra: “I know…but he’s just so cute when he comes up with destructive ideas!”

Electra: *Removes CB from his lap to do something else*

CB: Electra is... evil? Electra is unyielding? Electra is incapable of love? I am running away. I am packing my little rucksack and going out to explore the world as a lone vagabond. I can no longer thrive in this household.

i'm never going to get over the fact that Bochum StEx has Electra and C.B. together during the "He Whistled at Me" and "Für Immer" segments of the megamix, while also having the two main "canon" couples standing and dancing together.

Bochum really said "if no one else is going to give the fans their rarepair then goddamit we'll do it" and made Electboose canon

(also Bochum Greasedinah my beloveds T_T i watch the megamix for their interactions and for their interactions only, they're just so adorable it makes me want to cry)

C.B.: *runs outside with an empty crisps package over his eyes* Magnificent!

Head cannon: Electra can't whistle but CB can so Electra just picks him up and squeaks him like a squeaky toy to get him to whistle.

A GreaseDinah fic? Maybe with a little Electboose in there too?

I'm so so sorry I didn't finish this in time before your account was lost. If anyone can get this to sweet-dining-car please do, and I hope the rest of you enjoy this too.

Edit: coming back to tag @sweet-dining-coach! Glad you're back, and hope you enjoy!

StEx mini-fic requests are open!

Greaseball took a deep breath, trying to ignore the stares. It had been months since the crash, but it was still taking a while to gain everyone's trust back.

"Honey-pie? You okay?"

He glanced down at Dinah, giving her hand a reassuring squeeze. They'd been working on their relationship, and currently things had never been better. "Yeah, I'm alright hon. Just thinkin'."

It had been some time since the world championships, but Greaseball was still getting used to the shift in dynamics. Although Rusty was still the yard's shunter, his new silver and celeste blue livery gleaming in the sun was a clear reminder of how important the little steamer was now.

'More important than me.' Greaseball thought to himself, a little wistfully.

Dinah noticed her boyfriend's brooding expression, gently rubbing her thumb over the diesel's bigger hand. "C'mon, let's go to the diner. I'm due to take over from Buffy."

"Sounds good." Greaseball agreed, giving Dinah a little twirl before they set off for her diner.

As they entered though, he groaned internally at the sight in one of the booths. Electra and CB were sitting opposite each other, giggling and whispering. Greaseball wasn't sure when the two had become so close, but frankly he thought they looked ridiculous; Electra was far too tall for the booths, his knees cramped awkwardly against the edge of the table, and CB's wheels barely skimmed the floor. But if they were happy, Greaseball supposed that was all that mattered.

He sat down in his usual seat at the counter, whilst Dinah skated round to the other side of the counter. Buffy came out from the kitchen, pulling off a hairnet and gloves.

"Heya, lovey-doves!" She snickered, giving Greaseball a teasing -but friendly- wink. "All good here, although we're runnin' low on the vanilla ice cream, Di."

Dinah nodded. "Noted~! Thanks for your help, Buff, I'll see ya later!"

As the buffet car skated out, Dinah disappeared into the kitchen. Greaseball waited patiently, trying to ignore the incessant giggling from Electra and CB. He began tracing letters on the counter; Dinah's name, his name, as many names as he could think of. Dinah had been helping him with his spelling lately, and whilst it was extremely difficult, Greaseball had been figuring out some more names and words.

"Here we go, sugar!" Dinah trilled happily, setting a tray in front of him, laden with a large hamburger, fries and a chocolate milkshake. She set her own tray beside his, hers with a cheeseburger and a strawberry milkshake instead. She skirted around the counter to sit beside him, kissing his cheek. It wasn't often the diner was quiet enough for them to enjoy a meal together.

"I love you too, Greasy." Dinah smiled, taking a sip of her milkshake

"An' I love you, Di." Greaseball murmured softly, smiling.

He could live without being world champion, as long as he had Dinah with him.

CB @ Electra: "You know there was once a point where you were considered out of my league"

CB: "Oh how the mighty have fallen...into my arms~"

I promised to post this soon, so here it is: the next part in my Electraboose series! This is the previous story told from Electra's perspective.

Summary: It had seemed like such a simple plan to Electra. Keep from C.B. that they'd fallen in love with him until it would blow over so as not to jeopardise their friendship. Of course, that's not as easy as it sounds.

Previous part can be found here.

Electra: “What are you guys doing?”

Rusty *wearing Pearl’s shoes*: “Pearl and Dinah told us to walk a mile in their shoes”

Greaseball *wearing Dinah’s shoes*: “So we’re going on a hike”

Electra: “...”

Electra: “Let me get Caboose’s shoes all be right back~”

"absentmindedly playing with the other's fingers" Electboose

“I’ll have a large macchiato and a ham and swiss sandwich and he’ll have a large coffee with 3 shots of caramel and one shot of white chocolate with extra whipped cream and chocolate shavings on the to.” Electra told the cashier of the coffee shop. Caboose lightly tapped Electra’s side, signaling something had been forgotten. “Ahh yes and a vanilla cake pop, one with sprinkles. Actually make that 2 cake pops.” The cashier added the cake pops onto the order. “And can I have a name for the order?” “Electra~” The cashier nodded. “That will be $12.87, please listen for your name to be called.” Electra payed for the order and he and Caboose sat down at a nearby table.

“Thanks for ordering for me, I still don’t really like to do that…” Caboose said quietly. It wasn’t that he was unable to, it just made him very uncomfortable and he didn’t like to do it. He had always ordered online before and even when he and Dinah would get food together neither of them liked to have to order and would rock paper scissors for who had to which often ended in him begging Dinah to order when he lost. It was nice to have someone so willing to help him while he got over his fear.

“No problem. I really don’t mind.” Electra smiled. “Fears are fears, it takes time to get over them. Like me and thunder storms, you helped me though that and now I don’t feel like I have to hide under the blankets anymore. That’s because you helped me.”

Caboose couldn’t help but smile. He remembered the nights that he would talk Electra through thunderstorms so that he wouldn’t panic and hide under the covers. It was almost cute to him, seeing his much taller boyfriend dash under the covers and hide himself whenever he heard a little bit of thunder. “Well I didn’t want you to be afraid forever…” Caboose said and lightly rolled his feet along the floor. “All I had to do was roll back the covers a little more each time.” “And I’m very grateful for that~” Electra reached across the table and held Caboose’s hand. “I’m very grateful for you too…”

Caboose blushed. He and Electra intertwined fingers and Caboose pressed his finger tips against Electra’s then dropped both of their fingers on the table then pressed their finger tips together again. He continued doing this without paying much attention for a while and Electra simply watched and smiled. The moment was soon ended by a worker calling out “Order for Electra?” and Electra had called out to Caboose.

“Hey? Do you want to pick up the order?” Electra offered seeming to snap Caboose out of his trance of playing with both of their fingers. “Oh I don’t know Lexi…” Caboose said cautiously. “While it does sound easier then ordering I just don’t know…” “Well it’s just rolling back the covers a little, it won’t be that bad and I’ll be here with you alright?” Electra encouraged. “You can do it!”

Caboose smiled, now feeling a bit more confident he stood up from the table and went to retrieve the order. He said a few words to the worker then came back to Electra. “I did it!” Caboose said proudly. “That you did! I’m very proud of you!” Electra cheered causing Caboose to blush slightly.

“Oh, but it looks like they got the cake pop orders wrong though…” Caboose sighed. “They put sprinkles on my coffee and chocolate shavings on the cake pops, but it’s fine a guess~” Electra shook his head. “No no no, they need to make this right! I’ll be right back.” With that Electra then stood up and went to find the one responsible for messing up the order and to give them a piece of his mind.

Caboose put his chin in his hand and sighed. That was his boyfriend alright, it was nice to have someone to help him get over his fears as well as someone who will make sure people get your order right.
