#he doesn’t trust anyone else to properly take care of them

Aaron may not have an eidetic memory like Andrew does but he has a damn good one and he can remember anything he puts even the smallest amount of effort into remembering.
After everything that happened in Baltimore Aaron starts to note every small possibly important (and unimportant) medical fact about the foxes. And he’s not even totally conscious he’s doing it.
He consciously remembers Andrew and Nicky’s blood types. He knows Nicky’s allergic to penicillin and he knows Andrew doesn’t react well to doctors so it’s best for everyone if he can be administered some kind of sedative right away.
And then he thinks he should probably know this stuff for Kevin, and begrudgingly Neil, because they’re part of his strange little family that Andrew’s created. So he quickly and easily finds this information on them (because he’s a Minyard and he just knows how to find the things he needs to know). So he knows their blood types and he knows Kevin still feels residual pain in his left hand but doesn’t show it and try’s to ignore it. He knows Neil heals annoyingly quick from his all too common injuries but he also knows he aggravates those injuries easily by pushing himself too soon.
But it doesn’t stop there, there’s a small itch in the back of his head driving him to find out the important medical facts about the rest of the foxes. So he allows himself to remember their blood types and allergens and tells himself he needs to know incase of an emergency.
But he also notices that Matt has a high tolerance to pain medication whenever he’s being treated by Abby for an injury during practice or a game. And he notes the one type that works for him and keeps multiple bottles on him and in their room. (It’s also the only type that works for Kevin and works best for Neil so he stocks their room with it too)
And he notices that Allison is a slight germaphobe and applies hand sanitizer anytime she has to touch a public door handle or they go out to eat. So he opens as many doors for her as he can despite the confused look he gives her every time and he just glares right back at her. He keeps an extra mini bottle of hand sanitizer in his backpack for her as well and silently passes it to her when she’s forgotten hers.
He notices Dans chronic knee and lower back pain that Abby is constantly treating and how there’s always a rotating rainbow of colorful KT Tape on her. So he keeps an eye on Abby’s stock of tape and when a color is running low he casually mentions it to her to order more and then walks away.
He notices how Renee always picks at the scabs on her knuckles that result from her sparring with Andrew. He figures the wraps she has are getting old and silently leaves a new pair on the counter the next time he’s in the girls dorm, along with a box of bandaids and a tube of antiseptic ointment. He leaves a matching set of supplies in Andrew’s dorm as well just to be safe.
He doesn’t consciously realize that what he’s doing is protecting and taking care of the Foxes. But the others catch on and smile fondly at him because he’s letting himself care for them and become part of their family.
And the one time Dan mentions what he’s doing for them he looks at her like she’s crazy. He tells himself, and her, that that’s not what he’s doing, he’s just a future doctor and someone needs to take care of these injury prone idiot athletes and no one else besides him and Abby are going to do it right.
Aaron would definitely be so observant and acutely aware of the Foxes physical well beings despite him insisting he doesn’t care and hates them all. But he basically becomes Abby’s right hand man and teams second nurse because it’s good practice for his future and he knows them.

remember when you did the HSR hurt/comfort reader getting injured? i absolutely NEED one with gallagher, gepard and a character of your choice. you dont have to do this right away! just been thinking about it ‼️
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Blade:
Feral. Absolutely feral.
This man gets somehow even more deranged the moment you get injured.
He’s pretty much foaming at the mouth like a rabid dog the moment his eyes noticed that you were unresponsive. If anything seeing you borderline catatonic tore Blade apart in the most painful way possible, just as his desperation to get to you before anyone else could do further harm became his mission.
Bodies were going to pile up real fast as Blade practically glides across the battlefield with grace, precision and a determination to eliminate any and all that stood to stop him from getting to you.
The destruction Blade left behind in that moment was unlike anything anyone has ever seen and Blade became a lot more dangerous man than before, many have reasons to suspected that he might’ve been holding back, and it wasn’t until now did they truly believe that their theory had weight.
After getting you away from everything Blade stayed incredibly close as you got patched up, going so far as to growl and snap at anyone or anything that he believed posed a threat to you or wasn’t doing their job right; he’d even pull out his sword as an silent threat/warning as to what was to come should you get worse rather better.
‘Blade I’m fine.’ You tell him, trying to stop him from killing the poor doctor who had just stitched up the last of your wounds. ‘I’m going to be fine, just please for my sake don’t threaten people who are just doing their job.’
‘I don’t trust them.’ Was all he said while holding your hand, rubbing the back of it with his thumb.
‘The wounds were too deep Blade,’ you began, ‘trust them or don’t but that doesn’t change the fact that they saved me.’ Blade didn’t say anything after that but from the clenching of his jaw and the conflicting emotions flickering in eyes, it was clear that Blade was still very much conflicted about everything.
Needless to say that after you had properly healed from all your wounds, Blade became unbearably overprotective of you much to your dismay, but if it was going to silence his doubts for good then you were more then willing to leave him to his own devices.
Gallagher:
Is more concerned about your well-being and getting you the medical attention that you required than anything else. He could have the perpetrator sniffed out within minutes, but would rather spend those precious minutes making sure you were okay and that you were going to be okay by medical professionals.
He doesn’t care if he gets shit for not having his priorities straight by Sunday, the winged cunt could fuck off and die for all Gallagher cared, because at the end of the day he was always going to choose to take care of you over his job.
He’d naturally give the job of hunting down the perpetrator to someone else of equal rank while he decides to step away from everything to take care of you as the doctors instructed. For there was just no way in hell would Gallagher abandon you when you were bed bound, it just didn’t sit right with him.
‘You alright sweetheart?’ He’d ask as he helps you sit up in bed. ‘I’m okay Gallagher thank you for everything.’ You said, smiling up at him. ‘It’s not a problem.’ Gallagher replies as he sits on the edge of your bed, flashing you a smile. ‘As long as you’re okay, that’s all I care about.’ You furrowed your brows. ‘Won’t Sunday be on your case for slacking off on the job?’
‘Maybe but who cares when that winged rat has been slowly loosing control of everything for a while now.’ The brunette said as he then shrugged his shoulders. ‘But all I care about right is making sure that you’re happy, healthy but above all, safe.’
‘But I’m already those things regardless.’ You said, squeezing his hand as he chuckled, kissing the side of your head softly. ‘Then I’ll just have to keep up the good work then hmm?’ He says cheekily before winking and lifting himself off of the bed to fetch you food and medicine for your recovery.
Gepard:
Much like Gallagher, Gepard is more concerned either your well being more so then anything else because to Gepard, you and your safety were his number one top priory.
However after seeing you get injured, he feels as though he had failed you or wasn’t fast enough to get to you, and will let it eat away at him for a long time too before you have to step in and remind him why that was absolute bullshit.
Afterwards Gepard would treat you like porcelain or glass whether he was aware of it or not. You understood why but after a while when you began to get better you’d have to start telling him to cut it out.
You’d might to sit him down and gently tell him that he didn’t always have to treat you as though you were going to break after every minor inconvenience. Gepard would immediately go red in the face and apologise for over stepping, but you’d only smile and hold his burning face in your hands and pressing kisses into his skin, which would only make his face burn even redder then before.
He’s just a sweet soul who’d do anything to protect his loved ones and takes it rather personal when he couldn’t when he shouldn’t, but that’s just the way he was and you loved him for it very, very much and you remind him of that every single day. After all at the end of the day Gepard only wants you to be safe and heal at an acceptable rate, he would even go as far as to monitor everything closely so that there be no room for any possible health complications.
Seeing you injured had made Gepard more scared more than he’d like to admit, and he would do anything and everything in his power to prevent it from happening ever again, because for as long as Gepard was still breathing he’d dedicate himself to being your shield for the rest of your lives together.
And that’s a hundred present guaranteed.

nocturnality
– tales of the voracity pathstrider
✎𓂃 irregular sleep patterns make for good nightmare consolation
Tumblr media
aventurine wakes up in a cold sweat, throwing off the sheets as he sits up abruptly. 4am, his bedside clock reads, and he rubs his eyes. he can’t get the images of the thirty-four slaves he had killed out of his head; he watched the life drain from their eyes, and they were children like him. neither could he be rid of the feeling of blood on his hands, from those whom he stained himself with, and those who stained themselves upon him.
see, he isn't the type to seek anyone out in his moment of vulnerability
he doesn’t trust anyone to not take his fears and use them against him
but he thinks you might be safe
you did put up with him for 5 years and counting, after all 
although he still can't really tell if you like working for him
you haven't left yet! and you seem to care about him!
it means something to him, even if you're not outright showering him with warmth
he would've loved it if you were more affectionate, but he finds himself liking the way you’re only ever soft for him 
you’re a slab of ice to everyone else (even to him occasionally, if he doesn’t pester you enough to get you to open up)
anyways, he debates between texting, calling, or visiting you in person
your room is not too far away from his block – he might as well try his luck
(he has insanely good luck, so maybe you will be awake)
before that, he sends you a text just in case
it's not even a text, it's just a random sticker in his recents
your reply comes a few seconds later, and it's so characteristically you
one question mark. literally. just “?”
there he has it, you're still up and about. aventurine is used to your patterns by now, even if he can’t wrap his head around how you sleep so late and rise so early.
well, as long as you're well and doing your job properly, he's not going to question it
though he does wonder if you sleep at all
you’re his dutiful secretary during the day, sorting his documents, reminding him of his schedule and the like
you even follow him into meetings if he asks you to 
sometimes he has to be ready by 5am
and guess what? you're awake and all dressed up by then, knocking at his door at 5am sharp
but you don't go to bed until 3am?
he only knows that because he had once tried to talk to you about a project idea he had at that time and you didn't pick up the phone 
when you finally did pick up on his second call (in his defense, you usually weren’t asleep yet), you sounded groggy
and then you were like “mrrrrrh what is so important that you must wake me?”
he will never tell you how much he found your sleepy voice adorable
that was the earliest he's ever seen you sleep in all the days that he's known you
he really, really hopes you’ll renew your contract with him
you’re his absolute favorite out of all the secretaries he’s had
no one’s as soft with him as you are
no one’s ever tried to listen to him, or to understand him the way you do
out of everyone, you’re the only one who he feels some sort of genuine connection with
he’s seriously considering giving you a permanent position when your current contract ends
a familiar sequence of knocks sound at your door, and you know it's aventurine who's come to visit you. you've set up something like that with him because of the sheer frequency at which he bothers you outside of office hours, and you'd like to know which inconsiderate bastard it is who tries to visit your room past midnight.
affectionately, of course
it's not like he's causing you any inconvenience, so you don’t really care
you look at him, and wordlessly, you open your arms
you don’t need an explanation, or excuses, or an apology, or anything
his eyes are bloodshot, and you can see the cold sweat still on his forehead
he didn’t even bother tidying up before coming to see you
your heart aches, because it isn’t very often your boss comes to you in this state
he doesn’t even hesitate before he plops face first into your embrace
you’re lucky it’s the ungodly hours of no-one-is-awake, because you bringing your boss into your room is not a good look for you
especially when he’s holding onto you like you’re his secret lover or something
you don’t talk, and neither does he
you just hold him as he clings to you like you’re his lifeline
you lift him up easily; you're not about to stand in the doorway for the rest of the night 
he likes how you don’t ask questions, how you comfort him without expecting anything in return
you don’t even know what exactly it is that plagues him, but you’re so tender with him all the same
you settle down in bed with him, though he can tell that you were working before he interrupted you
your monitors are still on, and you have a dozen of papers laid out side-by-side along with a pen that is now abandoned
he feels a little bad, but also he’s overwhelmed by how easily you do these things
like… setting your work aside because he’s looking for comfort
but you’re not even doing it consciously? you’re doing it so naturally like you’re doing it out of habit
he doesn’t think you intended to tuck him into your bed when you picked him up
he doesn’t get it. he doesn’t get you.
you could’ve held him in your lap while you worked and he wouldn’t have complained
to give him your undivided attention like this
are you trying to make him lower his guard? 
he wants to draw the natural conclusion of your eventual betrayal once he lets you in, but he finds it so ridiculous that it’s impossible
you? who’s so gentle with him? who’s not even spoiling him consciously?
aventurine doesn’t feel safe with many people, if at all. the fact that he breathes so peacefully by your side is a surprise in and of itself. when your fingers brush against his hair, he shivers and holds onto your arm tighter. 
“don’t go,” he says, as sleep slowly takes him again, “stay.”
you chuckle, a sound that he loves to hear, as you offer him your entire right side
and your scarf
you don’t know if he’d like it, but you flick the end on your right over to him anyway
he does like it. he snuggles into the fabric without hesitation
he vaguely remembers the fact that your scarf is your weapon, but it’s the least important thing on his mind right now
it’s soft. it smells like you. it’s comfortable.
you’re still trying to work, settling for reading through documents on your tablet
he cuddles up to you, shifting in your warmth until he finds himself a nice position to settle into
you let him sleep by your side, even if you’re unlikely to rest yourself
it’s okay, you can work through the night just fine with your tablet
you’ll be right next to him when he wakes
you glance at aventurine, who’s finally relaxed and getting the rest he deserves. he’s snoring softly all the while holding your arm in a death grip, and you feel yourself overcome with a surge of protectiveness.
you’ll watch over him. when he’s feeling better, you’ll see if he wants to talk about it. and whatever happens next… well, you’ll cross that bridge when you get there. you still have contracts and agreements to review, and there’s only so much time before more work ends up on your plate.
that said, aventurine’s day starts in three hours; maybe you could shuffle a few things around and let him sleep in?

heyyy hope ur doing ok !! I’d really love to hear ur thoughts on how the svt members would teach u to drive (or the ones that can drive anyways!) lots of love xoxo
oh my god, this was SO much fun to write (and now i can't think about anything else but them driving)
seventeen teaching you how to drive | ot13
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
CHOI SEUNGCHEOL 
𓆩♡𓆪 kind of like driving with your dad (or your dad trying to explain you maths) - at some point you end up crying. He wants to teach you, he really does, but in the end he gets too impatient, so he just yells and takes the steering wheel from you. 
YOON JEONGHAN 
𓆩♡𓆪 has a kind of “meh” attitude. He teaches you as best as he can, but whatever happens later, happens. Not his issue anymore. But he really tries his best, it��s not like he wants you or anyone else to get hurt. 
 HONG JOSHUA 
𓆩♡𓆪 very patient and gentle, but maybe too gentle. He doesn’t have the heart to scold you, so even if you speed past a “stop” sign and doesn’t stop, he doesn’t say anything. And every time you ask if you did good, he says yes (and cries a little bit inside). 
WEN JUNHUI 
𓆩♡𓆪 he tries his best, but teaching someone how to drive is very hard. You’d probably not even make it out of the parking lot, but you’d be a pro at parking the car. Would scream if you got too close to another car. 
KWON SOONYOUNG 
𓆩♡𓆪 a big no no to this guy. I adore him with my entire heart, but there is no way I would trust him to teach anyone how to drive. He doesn’t care about the speed limits, so there would be a 90% chance you’d get a speeding ticket on your first drive. Also, he’d tell you to turn left at the “no left turn” sign. The music would be blasting and he wouldn’t give a single fuck about anything. 
JEON WONWOO
𓆩♡𓆪 a very patient teacher, would recommend 10/10. Explains everything like a pro (is he an idol or a F1 driver). He would be kind of strict though, but just because he wants to properly teach you how to drive and not harm yourself and others in the process. 
LEE JIHOON
𓆩♡𓆪 sorry bae, not this time <3
XU MINGHAO 
𓆩♡𓆪 takes the job very seriously. Explains everything from the basics about the car itself, but for some reason forgets to teach you the signs. So anytime you ask about a sign, he panics and tells you to just drive faster. As long as you don’t crash into anyone, it’s all good. 
KIM MINGYU  
𓆩♡𓆪 alongside Wonwoo, the best teacher you could have ever asked for. We know that he taught Chan how to drive, so he would have no problem teaching you how to drive as well. I don’t think I can say anything more about him, except for that I wish he was my driving instructor (mine was more like Seungcheol, it was not live, laugh, love). 
LEE SEOKMIN 
𓆩♡𓆪 for some reason he makes you drive very slowly, so you’re more rolling down the street than driving. A kid literally passed you on their scooter. Also, he’d focus too much on the nice view and forget that you technically can’t drive (you almost hit an old lady on the zebra crossing).
BOO SEUNGKWAN 
𓆩♡𓆪 oh no. no. just no. It’s not that he is a bad teacher, he is just too scared. He doesn’t trust himself enough. He’d be clutching the grab handle above the door and his eyes would be closed at all times. He’d just tell you to drive forward and that would be it. 
CHWE VERNON
𓆩♡𓆪 chaotic, but very chill at the same time. He’d mostly be like: you do you boo. You’d have a lot of fun, that’s for sure. If you ever passed the speed limit, he’d be like “yo bro, that’s crazy”.  
LEE CHAN 
𓆩♡𓆪 another great teacher. Might be a bit scared, because he isn’t that experienced himself, but he does his best. His driving lessons would be very safe and he’d make sure that you felt safe and confident behind the wheel.

How I think the Hazbin crew are as parents 🏨
(CW: mentions of child abuse in Alastor’s section, mentions of Valentino and Angel’s past, mentions of Husk’s past with Alastor)
Charlie:
Absolutely a loving mother
Maybe a little too loving
You know how she comes across as too sweet to her friends, loved ones and complete strangers?
Yeah that's not changing with her kids
I’m not even entirely sure she’s gonna discipline her kids
I genuinely believe if her kids are acting up, her main issue is that she’s “a bad mom” and she’s gonna spiral in front of her kids so badly that they’re just gonna stop acting up and behave
She also strikes me as the type of parent that a little too involved in their kid’s lives
Sometimes it’s good because she’s showing interest in her kids lives and really, who doesn’t want that from their parents?
But like…sometimes you don’t need your parents to know everything that’s going on in your life, ya feel me?
There is such a thing as too supportive
And Charlie is that overly supportive, overly optimistic mom that kinda tries a little too hard to be a “cool” mom that can be friends with her kids and all their friends
It’s embarrassing
But her kids know deep down that she’d die for them in a heartbeat
They just wish she wasn’t so…extra
Vaggie:
She’s simultaneously the chill parent and the scary parent you just don’t fuck with
She strikes me as someone who lives by the saying “respect is not given, it’s earned”
She respects her kids boundaries and desires(within reason) and they in turn give that same respect back
And because of that, breaking her trust/respect is a no no
Like if she has a kid that tells her that they’re gonna hang out with friends, and she finds out they they lied and they went to a sex club to drink and do drugs, God help that kid
Worst part is that I feel like if she’s reeeeeally mad and hurt, her anger is silent and cold
That’s when her kids know someone fucked up bad
But as long as no one breaks anyone else’s trust/respect, all is good and her kids know they can go to her for anything and she’ll do her best to help
Alastor:
Oh god
I feel so sorry for any kids this mf has
Like probably wouldn’t cuz he’s aro/ace and Viv has confirmed in past streams he’s not really someone who’d want kids or even properly take care of kids
But let’s just pretend he has one or two
He’s not gonna be a great dad
First of all, I fully believe his parenting style is gonna change drastically depending on if he’s around sons or daughters
Any daughters he has are going to be treated like royalty
He’ll gladly have tea parties with them
He’ll gossip with them and ofc auntie Rosie
He’ll even drop everything he’s doing to treat them a girls day with them, complete with a spa day, shopping and fine dining
Any sons he has will probably have the opposite situation
Al would take little, if any interest in their lives
Once they learn to walk, talk and have awareness of the world around them, they’re practically on their own
If they’re hungry, they better learn to cook
If they need new clothes, they can earn the money for new clothes or make it themselves
If they want their father’s attention, they have to earn it & that usually means they have to be exactly like him for him to even start to care about his sons
This behavior most likely stems from how his mother treated him in life vs how his father treated him
Look at how he treats characters like Rosie, Mimzy and Niffty vs characters like Husk, Lucifer and Vox
It does unfortunately carry over into how he disciplines his kids
The girls will get lecturers and they’ll be grounded
If they did something particularly bad, he might spank them or hit their hands with a ruler or something but nothing extreme
His sons though…they’ll most likely receive beatings…
No lectures
Just cold, unyielding, lashes
Alastor’s really just someone who shouldn’t be a father…or at least, not have sons
Angel Dust:
He’d be such a good dad!
This man would die for his kids in a heartbeat!
He is a tad overprotective of them tbh
He absolutely does not want them near the p0rn district of Hell, especially if Valentino is there
He would sell his soul again to get his kids out of a contract but he’d rather avoid a situation where his kids have sold their souls outright
He’s also fair when it comes to exploring substances
He understands they’re all in hell and teenagers get curious
That being said, he’s flat out warn them with lighter stuff like alcohol and weed what it feels like to be drunk/high and what the side effects are
Stuff like cocaine though? No, absolutely not
He’ll tell them exactly what it’s like and why it’s not worth it
“The high ain’t worth it, you’ll feel worse than shitty once you’ve sobered up and you’re lucky if you just get a headache in the days after.”
His kids respect that he’s upfront with his knowledge so they usually take his word on it and heed his advice
He does try to hide a bit of his past from them
Not in a “they must never know” kinda way
It’s more like a “they’re too young to fully understand the severity of the shit I went through” kinda deal
Once they’re older, he’ll be honest about everything with them if they ask
Very supportive of his kids
They know they can come to him about anything and they usually do
Like if one of his kids comes out to him as trans for example, first thing he’s gonna do is smile and let them know that regardless of any physical changes, he still loves them
Will absolutely help them with a new wardrobe, hair style and even get them a pin or flag, whatever they’d like more
He also loves cooking with his kids
In those moments where they’re cracking jokes, spilling this week’s latest tea and just being a happy family that makes him realize he finally found that tomorrow to live for
Husk:
Another good dad!
A bit of an odd dad, but still a good dad
Part of why I say he’d be an odd dad is cuz a lot of his cat like instincts go into overdrive
For example: it’s quite common for cats to clean their kittens with their tongues
He loves his kids, he wants to keep them clean, he can’t stop himself from cleaning his babies
Hell take lots of cat naps with his kids in sunny spots at every opportunity he has
He purrs a lot more when his kids are around and just chillin
He also meows a lot at his kids when they newborn - toddler aged
The other part of his oddness as a father comes from the fact that he’s an older man and is oddly chill in times where you’d expect him to blow up
Like if he they’re helping him clean and they accidentally break something, he won’t get mad at them
Hell make a shitty joke
“Don’t work kiddo, gravity ain’t exactly our friend. Bitch probably hates us cuz we can fly.”
He also develops a sixth sense for kids, specifically when they’re about to do something stupid
To be fair, his best friend lover is Angel Dust so it’s not hard for him to sense stupidity
Tumblr media
Tell me this isn’t the face of a man who felt a stupid thought and immediately pinpointed exactly who had said thought
It’s stronger with his kids
The second they think something stupid like “Dad can drink an entire bottle of ever clear and be fine, so I should be able to as well” he immediately shuts that shit down
He could be clear across pentagram city and still have his dad sense go off and he’ll reflexively call his kids while he’s sprinting in their general direction
Funnily enough he's absolutely the kind of dad who of he sees his kid come in with a bloody nose and he senses the situation isn't dangerous, he asks "did you win?"
If his kid answers yes, he high fives them XD
If they say no, they talk mad shit together
He’s a very blunt man so ofc he’s a very blunt dad
He’ll warn his kids about people like Al and why you can’t trust everyone
He’ll impart his wisdom on how to read people so they can keep themselves safe
He’ll also warn them about biting off more than they can chew so they don’t end up selling their souls to someone like Al like he did
He’s also very honest about his past
He knows his kids aren’t dumb so they’ll find out the truth eventually and he’d rather it’s through him than Alastor
In general he’d just rather not have Al messing with his kids
He’s also a actions over words kinda guy
So while he will tell his kids he loves them verbally, hes gonna do things for them more often than not
Like if they’re having a bad day, he’ll make them their favorite meal and let them vent for as long as they need to
If they cry, he won’t say a word, he’ll just pull them into a hug and let them cry out all their sadness and frustration
Even if it’s something as simple as them just not sleeping well the night before and waking up crabby, he’ll wordlessly make their favorite breakfast and take them out for a personal day later
He’s got a gruff exterior but his kids will only ever know his softer side if he has anything to say about it
Niffty:
….I’m conflicted with this one
On one hand, I know for a fact she could handle the house work and child rearing on her own
She’s got endless energy and is more than capable so the practical stuff isn’t the issue
It’s the actual raising of any potential children
Like if they aren’t genetically born with her unhinged personality, I feel like that’s something that they’re definitely gonna learn to do as they grow older
I also kinda feel like she’d let them be do things they just shouldn’t be doing
Like you know how she was in the oven while baking cookies???
Yeah…she’d have little to no issues with her kids doing that
That’s not to say she doesn’t love her kids!
She does with every fiber of her being!
Which is terrifying
Like remember how she scared the shit out of Val for messing with Angel?
Bare in mind, Angel is her friend, and she still went out of her way to make Valentino feel scared
Imagine someone messing with her kids
They would not survive
I’d even go so far as to that her protectiveness of her children would scare even Alastor
I do genuinely think she’d be a pretty good mom
But I feel like for the safety of everyone in hell, she shouldn’t have kids
Both because one Nifty is all we need and a Nifty with malicious intent is a force not even Lucifer could stop
Sir Pentious:
He’d be such an embarrassing dad
His kids would absolutely love and adore him without question
But he’s such a dork and even his kids see this
He uses modern slang incorrectly to his kids friends
He’d wear what he thought was fashion that’s “hip with youths” in public
And you bet every penny you have that he’s gonna do TikTok dances in public…horribly
Tumblr media
Mans is the embodiment of this meme ⬆️
But he loves his kids and he’d do anything for them
He’s gonna fumble along the way
But that’s never gonna stop him from doing his best
He’s also a bit awkward and over the top in how he shows his love for his kids
Like if a birthday is coming up and he knows his kid wants a new phone but he has no idea what phone model they specifically wanted, he’s buying every model available
Sure he coulda just asked, but that makes way too much sense
Buying one of every phone makes much more sense 😤
Same thing with treats
His kid is having a bad day and he knows they like chocolate?
He’s buying all the chocolate in pentagram city
Why?
For chocolate related emergencies
He’s so ever the top but his kids low key love that about him

RETROFANG: talking about the ship
Xina Kwan x Miguel o’hara
For the 1992-1995 spiderman 2099 comics, and the world of tomorrow 2099 comics that followed.
Welcome back to me rambling in a way that probably doesn’t make sense
Miguel x Xina is one of my comfort ships, something I love, it’s flawed, but beautiful, it tells a story that the writers no longer want to show which is upsetting, it’s flawed loved of two people who care for each other deeply but cannot bring themself to be together, one is self destructive, while one seeks for ways to help. A relationship to its core doomed to fail.
Tumblr media
The first time we ever see Xina is when she is that of what we can assume to be around 12-13, both her and Miguel were young students attending school together, two people that would later stick together and not befriend anyone else that we can see, and from the very starts it’s love at first sight for Miguel, you can see with the way it’s drawn to the plot that falls that Miguel falls instantly In love, and it can be argued that Xina also fell in love, or at least let Miguel flirt without being uncomfortable. He gives her a glance, and turns his head to follow her as she does the same before they officially talk.
Later on it’s straight away to flirting, asking to go to the pool, a possible sign of trying to get what a child may consider a date in a way. They spend the rest of their school years friends, and helping each other, it appears that even if both In love, they decided to take it slow, become friends, then best friends, then lovers, a way to build up a healthy and trusting relationship, a relationship that shows Miguel waited years to be with Xina, waited years for her.
This is what I consider deep love, a love that movie, craved but also feared, a love he had to destroy in order to destroy himself
Tumblr media
The next time we see Miguel with Xina is when he is moving into his alchemax apartment (it appears), which due to the way we assume Xina is, and how she is in general, even if she went to an Alchemax school, she doesn’t really like Alchemax, yet would do things in support of Miguel working there, she saw flaws in his design and yet hang on, because she loved him, it’s then hinted that they of course did it, but it also shows one of Miguel’s biggest flaws when it comes to Xina, he loves her, but waits too long to learn about her. In later times he learns what she likes, what she does, but here it’s shown that he didn’t even known his best friend had gotten a tattoo of her favourite real life person, something he would have known because they are seen to be best friends that stick together.
Tumblr media
Which brings up the issue and possibly why their relationship ended so soon, yes Miguel definitely found Dana attractive, and was emotionally cheating in front of Xina, but at his core he wasn’t ready to be a good partner, he wasn’t ready for a healthy commitment, he couldn’t even properly care for what Xina loved, even after knowing her since they were basically pre-teens. Miguel was not a good man at this time, he’s he waited for Xina for years, but he was too much of a bad person to hold onto her after finally getting her,
You also take into consideration that he is self destructive, he loves Xina more than anything and therefore he had to destroy it fast, he had to find another fast to destroy what he had, he had waited years for a woman, he has her, now he has to get rid of her in a way she will never want him back, how does he do that? Cheating. Emotionally first, and then physically.
Tumblr media
When we end up seeing them again it’s because LYLA is broken, LYLA who resembled Xina in the way of it being based off of her tattoo, Miguel doesn’t care for Marilyn Monroe herself, he cares for the fact she is xinas tattoo, hence him only now caring for xina’s interests, caring too late. He becomes desperate to fix her because she is in his way a way to be close to Xina without havent to be near her, he loves Xina, but he can’t return, he messed it up too much on purpose. Though that ends fast as he soon learns that the best person to go to, to fix LYLA is Xina, which could possibly also be seen as an excuse to see Xina again. Once let in the first thing he does is go to her bedroom, to remember the old times, to live in the past, the past he craves but can’t get anymore.
You also see that Xina who is still single and assumed to have stayed single after Miguel, still loves and misses him, her bedside photo is them together. She loves him, she wants him, but she hates him as of now.
Tumblr media
Within this time we also see Jack, Xinas Android, Miguel mistakes him for a partner, and seems to be almost jealous, upset. More signs he still loves her even if engaged to Dana, you also see Xina making it clear she doesn’t want him there and hates him, but she doesn’t kick him out, and it’s clear as much as she was uncomfortable, she cared enough to listen, cared enough to help, and of course we know this was going to happen, as even if she claims she just wanted to see him “crawling back” as a joke, it’s clear from the photo in her room, that she wanted him back deeply.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When she talks to Miguel many things are clear, one she is lying about things and two she is desperate to be the one he needs the most, even if she doesn’t want to make that clear.
She lies when talking about why they dated she claims it’s because she felt sorry for Miguel, but once again her photo in her room proves that wrong, along side the fact that she caught Miguel cheating as she came home early to be with him and to make him happy, she deeply cared for him, it was never about his dad, it was always about their love.
You also see how she is almost trying to push him away and is mocking his fiancé, Miguel doesn’t stop her, almost as if he wants her to insult Dana, because truthfully he doesn’t care for Dana the way he should, he cares for her as he loves her as she is what he considered dumb, someone that can’t question him, someone that blindly follows. Yet he sees Xina as smart, independent, and important to him, he loves that about her, yet is also scared about that. Because it means she can help him see his errors, and he doesn’t want to be shown, he wants to remain blind
Tumblr media
Next one I want to talk about is this comic panel, you see that Miguel is finally caring for her interests, he is taking the time to get her real old things such as a gumball machine, because he knows she loves it, he is caring enough finally, he knows what she likes, what she want, why she wants it, he cared for her deeply and after years is finally showing it. Only now
next bit in this panel Miguel mentions the fact he was going to end it, he directly tells Xina he is planning to end it in a way, and Xina instead of making a joke, instead of being her nasty self she has been a few times, instead asks him to join her on a trip. Alone. She cares for him enough that she is literally wanting to spend time alone with him as a way to possibly keep him alive but to also reconnect, something that shows her deep love for him, and deep need for him, and also just the fact she is a great friend. These are two people stuck in a bad world they suffer in that still care for each other deeply.
(NO image as I don’t feel comfortable with that)
SA mention
I am bringing up a scene we end up seeing soon into their trip together, a flashback to Kron attempting to harm Xina, this is poorly written and used as a way to show Miguel and Leon’s hate for each other, they directly use Xina getting SA’ED as a way to push two boys fighting. This is no doubt disgusting writing.
But in the sight of this being about Miguel and Xina it has to be bought up in the way that Xina would put himself in danger, and put his family at risk, risk being abused by George, risk loosing everything, risk possibly even being killed by George, to keep Xina safe, he before now refused to fight back, refused to lay a finger on Kron as he was scared for himself and his family. He was frightened, yet he risked it all for Xina. He did at a point nearly bail on Xina, he was scared the worse would happen to him, but in the end he Kepler her. He kept her safe, even if it was poorly written and should have been shown in a different way that didn’t make a man the savour of a woman facing SA
Tumblr media
Nor that’s over we get into the venom arc, the arc where Kron as venom attacks Xina and Dana to get to Miguel, something that reveals Miguel’s even deeper connection to Xina, he out of impulse screams for Xina, he is more worried for her, though he is still very worried for Dana, in this he has to save both, he only successfully saves Xina, and Dana passes away, this isn’t used for shipping Xina and Miguel, in fact Xina ends up leaving. This is shown as a way to show their friendship only, they don’t get together, as they both mentally can’t, Miguel lost his fiancé even if he wasn’t the best partner, and Xina had survivors guilt, she hates herself for hating the woman that slept with her boyfriend, a woman who hates her interests (shown by how she hates Gabriel’s retro interests) she so ends up leaving, I can argue that this was the best ending for the comic, until Miguel and Xina returned later. They both weren’t mentally stable, they both yes loved each other, but they would have ruined each other if they tried again.
Tumblr media
The next time we see Xina is when she is happy to see Miguel, even slightly seeming to mess around, she cares for Miguel still, and Miguel still cares for her, but she has seemed to move on, she doesn’t care for a relationship, she has a job to do, people to help, and tech to work on, but yet she is still close to Miguel, she still holds onto Miguel, she still in a way loves him, even if as of now that love is platonic, and the same can be said for Miguel, he is trying to find Gabriel, he doesn’t have time for trying to get with Xina,on top of that but they only see each other for what can be assumed to be less than 24/7’S, they aren’t ready to try again, it’s too quick, and the story handles that well, it doesn’t make them a couple, it makes them friends, who still may have feelings for each other.
In the end they end up leaving, Xina just had her best friend did, and Miguel still needs to find Gabriel, they never end up together, from there on Xina stops showing up, she doesn’t appear in canon at all, she is gone from Miguel’s life, if we don’t count time storm a non canon story; it has been nearly I believe 27 years since she was last since.
It is a bitter sweet ending to her story, and she doesn’t get seen again, but it’s also a bittersweet ending to Miguel’s orginal love life for 2099, after that they force him into Peter Parker’s love interests within stories, or he gets tempest from the past, not his time, which I still love, she just isn’t from comics I read. For the year 2099, for the future Miguel has no life without Xina, he is stuck literally and metaphorically in the past.
I would love to Xina come back, she is considered Miguel’s MJ, the endgame, the person he loves more than anything, and really when you see the writing, when you see what was done, that is completely true, it was written that they were doomed lovers, but they could easily become good partners with time and effort, and if Miguel stops being self destructive
In the end they didn’t work due to Miguel’s self harm, and due to the fact Xina wouldn’t deal with what which is good for her. But if Miguel gets therapy…maybe. They could work.
Over all good doomed lover plot, painful for everyone that wanted them together forever such as myself
But in a non canon comic when Miguel is mentally more stable, him and her are married, and ended up growing old together :)

secret husbandsssssss scar going thru dom drop after a rough scene and gri leading them through aftercare and telling scar how much he loves him
this one I don’t think needs a “read more” button since there’s nothing explicit here. just a bubble bath and some snuggles <3
———————————————
When Grian steps back into their bedroom, he finds that Scar hasn’t moved. He frowns with soft concern, setting the two bottles of water he grabbed aside for now. “Scar?” he gently asks, moving to sit in front of his husband on the bed.
Scar doesn’t answer verbally, instead looking up at him with sad eyes.
“Oh, Scar,” Grian murmurs, scooting closer to him. “What do you need? Bath first or physical contact?” Scar holds up two fingers, which sets Grian into motion. He tugs Scar close enough until he pull them down, making sure that Scar’s face is comfortable against his shoulder. He makes sure to press as much of himself against his husband as he can, wanting to offer a good bit of physical contact. One of his hands combs through Scar’s hair, gentle and loving.
He feels Scar hold onto him, an arm wrapping around his waist. Grian presses kiss after kiss to his hair. “I love you,” he reminds him. “I love you so much, Scar. You’re so good to me.” One of his wings move to rest over Scar like a blanket. “Always making sure I’m comfortable and feeling good, you always prioritize that. I’m thankful for that. I love you.” Grian offers Scar’s hair another kiss. His fingers carefully brush out the long strands under them, removing any knots he finds.
“And the scene… Void Scar, every bit of it was amazing. I loved it.” He won’t get into specifics now, not until he and Scar can properly discuss it. But it doesn’t hurt to tell him that Grian enjoyed it, at the very least. “You and your Mr. Mayor persona, sexy as hell.”
That earns him a quiet laugh, which causes Grian to grin. He then gently tilts Scar’s head up, all soft and loving. He presses their lips together in something sweet. “I love you,” he hums. “I trust you more than anyone else in the world. I can put my life in your hands and know that I’ll be alright.”
“Grian…” Scar sniffles, and Grian is quick to catch any tears that slip out.
“I love you,” he repeats, offering another kiss. “Everything I am is yours.”
Scar sucks in a breath and pushes his face back into Grian’s neck, holding him tightly. Grian coos softly, returning to combing through his hair. They stay like that for who knows how long, just holding each other. Grian whispers soft confessions of love over and over, occasionally cooing and chirping to let Scar know he truly is alright.
When Scar taps his fingers three times against Grian’s back, he knows his husband is okay enough to move to a bath now. Grian slowly pulls away (not before giving Scar’s hair one last kiss) to head into the bathroom. He grabs a washcloth or two so he can properly clean Scar up as he makes sure the water is the perfect temperature for them. And of course he can’t forget the bubbles; it’s a must.
Grian makes sure the bath is ready before he goes back into their bedroom and sees Scar sitting up. He walks over and manages to scoop his husband up in his arms, bringing them back to the bathroom. He sets Scar down in the tub with the water before climbing in himself.
“Let me take care of you, okay?” Grian hums as he reaches for a washcloth. “You just sit there and look all handsome for me.”
They sit in there for a while, with Grian settling in Scar’s lap and snuggling against his chest when he’s done cleaning the two of them up. Scar murmurs a soft thanks, content to hold his husband close.

OKAY let me talk about Lancer for one second
Lancer is a character that means a lot to me, he’s a sweet and hilarious kid but he’s a lot more than that, and even if he’s a young kid there is a lot to talk about him. Lancer is a kid that has barely ever had any sort of support, sure he’s the prince and his dad orders his army to take care of him, but it’s very clear to Lancer that nobody actually really likes him, this is not something he’s not aware of, he knows. When Susie is nice to him he’s surprised and confused because he’s not used to anyone genuinely enjoying his company
Even though King Spade’s army is ordered to look after him it doesn’t mean Lancer is being properly taken care of. He didn’t eat anything for breakfast, nobody is really checking on him to make sure he’s okay and overall he was ordered by his father to get rid of the lightners, him, a little kid. I do believe Rouxls Kaard is the closest thing Lancer had to someone that genuinely cared for him before Susie and the others showed up but he didn’t fully filled the role of a parent yet, but he did more than everyone else and that i appreciate, still Lancer still seems like a kid that needs more support and he shows a lot of signs of being neglected or mistreated by others
But let’s talk about King Spade now and... god it’s a lot. Lancer knows Susie could hurt his dad and instead of talking about it he immediately orders his dad’s army to imprison her and Kris and Ralsei to ‘protect them’. Lancer gets really really quiet and nervous when they talk about his dad, Lancer’s impulse reaction is to not talk things out and protect his friends in a very drastic way. Lancer knows Susie could hurt his dad and his dad could hurt Susie and the others, he’s left in the middle of it all and he feels like it’s ALL his responsibility. Susie keeps attacking and he doesn’t move, he STILL tries to prevent her from going near his dad and for the both of them to get hurt, and he doesn’t try to explain things anymore, Susie keeps attacking and he keeps getting more and more hurt and he doesn’t say anything. Eventually Susie stops and they talk things out, and Lancer makes it so obvious that he walks on eggshells with his dad, he knows what can make him mad, if he knew he could talk things out with his dad he would have tried already, instead he got really scared and took a very drastic choice in order to protect his friends, even if that meant he would get hurt in the process, even if that meant he could never see his friends again, even if it meant he could never talk to the one person that has brought him more happiness than anyone else. I don’t think I need to explain this, but  all of this, this is a huge sign of abuse, this is a huge sign of someone living in a toxic family environment. The kid should not walk on eggshells, the kid should not hide secrets from his parents because they know ‘they would get mad if they found out’, the kid should not be scared to talk things out with a parent, the kid should not be more mature than the parent. Susie promising him that she would not hurt his dad and that together they can do anything are the only reason why Lancer tried to talk to his father, not because he trusts him, but because he trust Susie and their friendship
The way that King Spade talks to Lancer is very clear emotional manipulation. Trying to frame the people that actually like you for who you are and make you feel happy and good about yourself as something bad, demonize them and tell you whatever good emotion you’re feeling is wrong and they have ‘poisoned you’ and you should listen to your parent, they know better. The second Lancer confronts him he immediately loses his composure, yells and threatens him. I really really don’t think the fountain is the only thing to blame here, Lancer seems really aware of this behavior, this doesn’t seem like an unique situation that only happened once
We see in chapter 2 that King Spade is not COMPLETELY evil and he does care about Lancer but this does not excuse anything, if anything it just makes it more realistic, abusers are not completely evil, you do have good moments with them and in many occasions they can love you and care about you but all of this doesn’t make all the times they have hurt you go away. I think the fact that Lancer doesn’t miss his dad and is happy to not spend time with him anymore and instead sees Queen, Rouxls and Susie and the rest as his family is good enough proof that he doesn’t need his dad to be happy
Susie and Lancer both seem like kids that live in toxic households, their friendship makes a lot of sense for many reasons but it’s very clear to me that a big reason why they can relate so much to one another is because of this. They mean a lot to me
Anyway that’s all, I care about Lancer a lot we have to talk more about him

I'm doing the 24 Days of X-Mas Files Challenge that msrafterdark posted!
Day two: Mulder plays Santa
Summary: Mulder offers to play Santa for Bill Jr.'s son. What could possibly go wrong? (wc: 1,827)
Tagging @today-in-fic
Santa Mulder Is Coming To Town
He tries not to, but it’s difficult not to watch Scully talking on the phone. They’re at work, but she excused herself, saying she needed to take this. So far she’s bitten her bottom lip, sighed twice, and rubbed her eyes. Whoever is on the phone with her, is testing her patience. He should know; usually, he’s the one causing these reactions.
A part of him is amused, but the other is worried. For once, he’s not the root of her problems. But someone – or something – is making her upset. And a few days before Christmas, too. For once, he wants her to spend a Christmas without any kind of hiccup. He’s tried to make last year special by taking her to a haunted house. That almost backfired on him. This year all he’s doing is dropping her off at her mother’s. No cases or ghosts for her. His only Christmas wish is that Scully gets to spend a few peaceful days with her family.
“Is everything all right?” he asks her once she hangs up the phone and joins him again.
“It’s just my family,” she says, taking a new set of latex gloves to put on. Mulder’s eyes are still on her, waiting for her to explain. He won’t pressure her for details, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t curious. “Well, it’s Bill.”
“Ah, my favorite Scully. What did he do this time?”
“He and Tara decided to hire someone to play Santa for my nephew Matthew this year. And the guy canceled on them last minute and now they can’t find anyone else so close to Christmas.”
“I can do it.” The words are out before he has a chance to think about it.
“Mulder, I can’t ask you to do that.”
“I’m offering,” he says. “Let me do this, Scully. Or do you want to explain to your nephew why Santa decided not to visit him this year?”
“Mulder, he’s two. I doubt he cares. You really don’t have to-”
“I want to,” he says, taking one of her hands into his. “Please.”
“Under one condition,” she says and he nods, trusting her implicitly. “We’re not telling Bill until the whole thing is over.”
Mulder grins and says, “deal.”
There’s not much time, but Mulder does his research. Scully assures him that there’s a Santa costume at her mother’s house that he can use. No need to worry about that. He asks Scully a million questions about Matthew on their way over to Mrs. Scully’s house. She’s the only other person who knows about this scheme. Even through the phone, Mulder could hear the other Scully woman smile when her daughter told her. At least that’s one more person on his side. It all depends on how Matthew will react to him. If he’s at all like his father, this could turn into a disaster.
Mrs. Scully is already waiting for them when they arrive. She quickly hugs each of them before she ushers them inside.
“I sent Bill and Tara on an errand. Matthew is taking a nap. You need to hide, Fox.” He’s never seen Mrs. Scully so much in her element. She’s pushing him towards the basement. A place he’s all too familiar with. It makes him smile.
“The basement is the safest option,” she says. “Oh no, I think I heard their car. Dana, show Fox where everything is. I put the Santa suit down there. See you later.” Maggie winks at them and Mulder finds himself chuckling as Scully takes him down to the basement.
“I’m sorry,” Scully says as she switches on a light. “They want this to be perfect for Matthew. It’s not too late to change your mind.”
“Scully, I’m in your mother’s basement. It’s too late to change my mind. And anyway, I don’t want to. I offered to do this, remember?” She nods and worries her lip again. If she keeps going like this, she’ll bruise it. He touches her shoulder, hoping to distract her from whatever is troubling her. It works.
“I haven’t thanked you properly.”
“You have,” he says, inspecting the Santa costume and pushing a finger into the belly made out of jelly.
“No, I haven’t.” She grabs his shirt and he turns to her, a questioning look on his face. He can’t read her, her expression a mystery. One he’s curious about. For a moment, she just stares at him, as if trying to find the right words or find her courage. He bites his tongue, determined to wait for her. He sees the moment she makes her decision, whatever it ends up being.
“Thank you, Mulder,” she says, her voice quiet and hoarse. Then she does what he hadn’t dared hope. She gets on tiptoes, her hands on his chest, and kisses him softly on the mouth. His eyes flutter shut and even as she lets go, he doesn’t want to open them again. He wants to bask in this moment and keep it forever.
“Don’t fall asleep on me,” Scully jokes, prompting him to crack open one eye. She’s wringing her hands, so he takes one into his.
“I should thank you,” he says. “For letting me spend the day with you. For letting me be here.”
“Mulder, you’re doing us a favor.”
“Dana, are you down there?” A voice asks from upstairs and they both startle.
“I better get up there,” Scully says, as reluctant to leave as he is to let her go.
“One more for good luck?” He shouldn’t press his luck but she smiles at him and presses another quick kiss to his lips before she runs back upstairs. Now all he can do is wait.
And wait he does. Scully texts him every few minutes, updating him on what’s going on upstairs, and warning him that his big moment is coming on. He gets ready and puts on the suit, wishing Scully were still here to help him. The beard goes on last and there’s no mirror, so he can only hope he’s disguised himself well enough.
His heart is racing as he makes his way up the stairs. He can hear chattering and what is clearly a very excited child. He has to do this right. Matthew probably won’t remember this in the years to come, but his parents will. His grandmother will. And his aunt. He takes one last deep breath before he cracks open the door.
“Are you excited to see Santa?” The gentleness in Scully’s voice makes Mulder melt momentarily. The kiss they shared runs through his mind, but he has to push that thought away. He can ruminate on that later.
“Santa!” Matthew exclaims and Mulder decides that this is his moment.
“Ho, ho, ho.” He steps forward and there’s little Matthew, crawling out of Scully’s arms and walking toward him on his small toddler legs. He stumbles once and almost falls, but Mulder catches the boy who stares at him with wide, curious eyes and an open mouth.
“Santa,” he whispers in awe.
“Hello, Matthew.”
“It me! It me!” he says excitedly, turning to his parents, who are clinging to each other with matching faces full of love for their little boy.
“Were you a good boy last year?” Mulder asks and Matthew nods his head enthusiastically.
“Pesants,” Matthew says. “Pwease?”
“Matthew,” Bill chastises and Mulder is careful not to look directly at the man, afraid he might recognize him after all.
“I have presents for you, Matthew. You asked me for a big bag of building blocks, is that right?” Again, Matthew nods, peeking at the bag Mulder brought with him. There are several presents in here, but Scully pointed out the one Matthew is to be given now. He takes it out and hands it to the small boy, whose eyes are shining.
“Do you need help, sweetie? Let your daddy help you,” Tara says and Mulder shoots a glance at Scully. But when Bill comes over, he only has eyes for his son. Bill is gentle with Matthew as he helps him tear the wrapping paper. The boy squeals when he sees the colorful building blocks and demands to play with them.
“What do we say, Matthew?” Bill says, pointing at Mulder, who is still hoping that the other man doesn’t look more closely.
“Tank you, Santa!” Matthew turns to him and throws his arms around him. His beard gets out of place and he quickly rights it, hoping no one saw it.
“We have cookies for you… Santa,” Scully says. “Say goodbye to Santa, Matthew.”
“Bye.” The boy is no longer interested in Santa now that he has the toy he’s been waiting for. The adults chuckle and Mulder feels their eyes on him. He bows and waves before he runs a hand over Matthew’s soft hair.
“I’ll show you the, um, cookies.” Scully follows him out of the living room. Once they’re in the kitchen, he rips the beard off, grinning at her.
“How was I?”
Scully doesn’t answer him and just puts her arms around him as well as she can with his protruding jelly belly between them.
“Thank you, Mulder.”
“You already said that,” he reminds her, trying not to think of the kiss they shared earlier.
“You were amazing.”
“Keep talking.”
“I’d rather not.” And her mouth is back on his. He’s so surprised that he gasps into her mouth before he reciprocates. He forgets where they are and doesn’t really care either way. He’s kissing Scully. And she’s kissing him as if there’s no tomorrow. This is the best Christmas he’s had in years. Or maybe it’s the best Christmas he’s ever had.
“What the hell is happening here?” Bill’s boasting voice makes them jump apart. “Why were you kissing Santa, Dana? Who is he?”
“No one you know,” Scully says, trying to shield Mulder and he’d laugh if Bill’s eyes weren’t narrowed at him.
“What are you doing here?” he growls.
“Bill.” They all turn to Mrs. Scully, who appears behind her son. “Think about your son and how happy he was to see Santa. Fox did that, didn’t he?”
“But he’s leaving now,” Bill says, his eyes darting between his sister and Mulder. “Right? Santa can’t stay.”
“I’m leaving.”
“Actually,” Mrs. Scully says. “It’s up to Dana. She gets to decide. Now come on, Bill. You go play with your son. You don’t want him to come looking for you here and find Santa, do you?” Bill grumbles but does as he’s told. Mrs. Scully grins at them and Mulder gives her an appreciative nod.
“I love your mother, Scully.”
“I want you to stay,” she says quickly, turning to him. “If you want.”
“What do you think?” He leans down and kisses her again, softly this time. “I need to change out of this costume.”
“Do you need my help?” Scully smiles at him and he doesn’t know how he got so lucky.
“Always."

Not only is he having to deal with his baby being gone, but he’s also got to deal with his stab wound
You stabbed him in the shoulder pretty deep, which usually wouldn’t be a problem
If you didn’t use the vampire hunters knife
Dwayne had to resort to human ways of healing, which he finds extremely annoying after centuries of not having to bother with it
He’s also extremely worried
As stated in previous fics, Dwayne is the most protective over you
He’s terrified of you being on your own
Not even on your own, your with someone his body’s age
He doesn’t know this man, he could be a pervert for all Dwayne knows
He can’t sleep, feed or function properly
His times dedicated to finding you
He’s using your clothing to smell you and he tries to track you but he just can’t
So he just holds your clothes close to him so he can still smell you
He’s terrified and he just wants you to come home
Marko
Tumblr media
Marko is furious
He can’t believe you’d leave
He and the boys only ever loved you and you decided to run away?
He sees it as a bratty ungrateful move
But don’t you worry, papa is gonna make sure you come home
He takes his anger out by haunting your dreams
He knows that he scares you, but maybe it’ll knock some sense into you
He’d never tell anyone, but he gets a thrill out of chasing you
It’s your fault he’s not able to hunt properly, so you have to make it up to him somehow
He’d never kill you, but he loves the power of you fearing him
He does miss you though
He finds himself staring at photographs of the two of you together from when you were younger, before the incident that broke your trust in him completely
He will get you home, that’s a given
But when he does, your in for a world of hurt
Paul
Tumblr media
Paul is surprisingly guilty
He keeps looking at the photo of your mother, and every time he feels a frustrated feeling creep into his unbeating heart
He remembers your mother, he didn’t like her when he met her
But he remembers that he always thought she had the most beautiful eyes he’s ever seen
The same eyes that stared back at him in betrayal during your last conversation
The same eyes that glared at him in hatred
It’s not fair, he’d just gotten close to you again and you left him
He wants to hold you close and whisper that he loves you
The only reason he haunts your dreams is so he can see you
He doesn’t enjoy it one bit, he has to get high just to do it
Speaking of getting high, he’s sees you sometimes
He’s moved from weed to hallucinogenic stuff and when he does, you appear to him
Sometimes your young, sometimes your old
Sometimes your happy, sometimes your sad
He doesn’t care, as long as he sees you
David
Tumblr media
The last words you said to David live in his head every minute of the day
“I’m no longer your daughter”
It’s all hears all day, he’s memorised the way you said
You had such a relieved tone, you sounded grateful
Grateful you weren’t his anymore
That’s what you think, you’ll be back with him where you belong soon
He sits in your room most days and surrounds himself with you
He looks around and wonders what goes on inside your mind
As much as you angered him, worried him, crushed him when you left you also sparked something else
Intrigue
You were able to befriend someone, have them help you, save up enough money and create a plan in the space of a few weeks all without him knowing
You’ve fascinated him
How did you manage to sneak out right underneath him?
He also deep down feels the littlest bit of pride
He raised you to be smart, clearly he raised you too smart
But your actions all felt so very…. David like
He’s still intent on hunting you down, thats for sure
You’ve slowed him down by stabbing him in the hand with the blessed knife, which if it was any other situation david would have been proud of you
David feels the need to be in your mind, to think like you and he’ll find you
He’s squeezed enough information out of your pathetic lovers, so he has a general idea
Better watch out baby, daddy’s coming to bring you home
And his punishment won’t be light

Can we get some more twst “how they hug”? I’d like to hear how the octa trio do it. (And whether Floyd differentiates between a hug and a squeeze.)
Sure. I'm gonna add Savanaclaw in here too, just because I already did Heartslabyul so might as well keep it in order. Oh, and like the last time, I'll try to put two per character. The first being more normal and the second being if you're closer to them.
SAVANACLAW
Jack Howl
Oh boy, it'd be a real challenge to get a hug from this guy. Tsundere jock. I think the first "hug" you'd get from him is the protector type of hug. You know what I mean, right? Where the first person is kind of behind the second person, and the first person has an arm around the second person's upper body kinda tightly or protectively. Usually touching the second person's shoulder and other arm, the first person's arm around the second person's chest or collarbone.
It only happened because there were some violent upperclassmen nearby. That's probably the closest thing to a hug you're getting from him, at least for a while. Jack isn't too fond of acting buddy-buddy with others. Although he probably doesn't even realize that he technically hugged you, if you mention it to him he'll vehemently deny it was a hug. Like many of the other characters, you have to initiate or ask. He will not just hug you properly out of blue.
If he considers you someone important to him, he might try to give you a normal hug. Keyword, try. But ultimately fail. You're shocked when you asked for a hug and he actually wrapped his arms around you. You didn't actually expect him to do it. Are you really hugging me? You ask in disbelief as he picks you up. N-No! I'm lifting you up so you can reach the top shelf. Liar.
Ruggie Bucchi
Thankfully, Ruggie isn't as aloof as the others in his dorm. So he's actually rather easy to get casual hugs. The most common from him seem to be the pickpocket hug. Where he stands beside you and rest his hand on your hip. No, he's not doing this to swipe the twenty bucks you have in your pocket, haha––
Out of all the people in his dorm, you'll have an easier time getting to hug him. Yeah, he'll give you a hug, but it'll cost you lunch. What? He's kidding! Maybe. If you want a genuine hug it will take some time though. Ruggie has this mindset that everybody wants something, and surely if you want to hug him that must mean you want to rob him of his wallet during the hug, huh? Well he's not falling for it!
Once you do have his trust though, hugs are pretty common. Casual ones in public, but the more genuine ones happen when no one else is around. He won't admit it to anyone else but you, but his favorite hug is the straddle hug with you on top. That way he can rest his head against your chest, it's easy too because he's a little short. If he could, he'd stay like this for a while... until he starts making you laugh somehow.
Leona Kingscholar 
Yet another tricky challenge. Once he’s gotten used to the company and doesn’t mind you around anymore, it’ll take a bit of time but touches will become common. Usually small things, like flicking your forehead or hitting you with his tail when you’re being, quote on quote, a brat. 
The first action from him that might be counted as a hug is the rag doll. It’s somewhat similar to the protector type of hug, where the first person stands behind the second person while slinging an arm over their shoulder. However, he isn’t holding you tightly over your upper torso. Instead, his arm is hanging off loosely over your shoulder. If you value this type of casual affection, don’t actually mention it to him. If you do mention it in front of him, that “hug” is not happening again. 
Once he actually trusts you and wants you around, you’ll be granted the privilege of napping in the same spot as him. This is the easiest time to get something that resembles a hug from him. Although it seems more like cuddling. In these situations, he’s always the big spoon. He doesn’t care if you’re facing him or facing away, your job now is to just stay and keep him comfortable. Again, do not actually mention the cuddling to his face or you can kiss those cuddles goodbye. 
OCTAVINELLE 
Floyd Leech 
Hugs? Hugs. Or rather, squeezes. You’re likely smaller than him, considering he’s about 6′2 or 6′3. But he doesn't care, he’s jumping on you. This gif but one is how Floyd hugs you and the other is how Jade hugs you. I’m sure you can guess who’s who. He doesn’t even give you any warnings. All you hear is Guess who~? Floyd’s logic is if I run and leap at mc, they will catch me!
Anyways, I think the most common casual hug from Floyd is the catcher hug, where one person runs towards the second person and the second person has to catch them. And, well... Floyd is always the one running at you. You either never notice it in time and if you do, he’s way too heavy so either way you’re going down. 
Every once in a while, you’ll get a different type of hug. One where he won’t knock you down. Just a big bear hug, but it’s not like that one is any better. All the air in your lungs escapes as he squeezes you so tight you might pop. You can’t move your arms, you can only kick your legs which do nothing to deter him. Depending on how he feels, it can last anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes if he really feels like tormenting you. 
Jade Leech 
I mean... can you really win here? I cannot see Jade asking for a hug, so you will have to ask. When you do ask, he’s surprised and amused, that’s just opening up a floodgate of more possibilities to tease you. You ask one time, and he’s not letting you live it down. Aw, what’s the matter? You’re looking quite miserable today. Is it because you haven’t had your daily dose of hugs? Heheh, how childish. Is that why you’re here? For him to satisfy this childish need for physical affection? 
Before you even ask the first time, I suppose the closest thing to a hug he ever gave you was... not really a hug? Maybe it was? Who knows? Sometimes he’d stand behind you or beside you, looking as refined as ever. However, he’d have a gloved hand on your shoulder furthest away from him, and he’d keep it there so long as you stood beside him.
When you do ask for a hug, he’ll tease you relentlessly throughout the entire process until you’re embarrassed and regret even asking. However, his hugs are actually somewhat pleasant (like seen in the gif in Floyd’s part). He holds you close so you rest your head against his chest. He has a gloved hand over your head and back to keep you in place. It would be nice... if he hadn’t made you feel embarrassed about it.
Azul Ashengrotto 
Good luck with this guy. Yes, he’s suave and smooth but that’s only restricted to interactions that may lead to dealings. Of course, he’s far too nervous to immediately initiate anything serious, although he won’t admit it. But if he truly sets his mind on it, he can achieve any goal. Simply hugging you? That was too easy! Tell him, what do you truly want from him?
Similar to Jade, Azul’s gesture is confusing. Is it a hug? Is it not? Who knows? He’ll stand behind you or beside you, standing straight and speaking about something, probably his latest victim he lured into a contract. However, instead of placing a hand on your shoulder, his hand will just barely ghost over the small of your back. Just enough touch to not make you comfortable, while also a safe amount of touch is present should you want it. 
By far the easiest way to get a hug from him is while his mind is mostly occupied by studying or paperwork. Sit beside him, study or work on something as well. If you start to doze off, he may place his arm around you in a sort of side hug. Isn’t he so generous as to offer you his coat as a blanket?

Hii!! Just a little thought I had I wanted to share, I’ve been watching a ton of Carlos’ Don’t Blink series on YouTube and he’s always driving everyone everywhere! I feel like he definitely wouldn’t let his significant other drive his car not bc he doesn’t trust them but I think he likes being able to drive casually and know everyone is gonna be safe given that he does it for a living LOL. I just feel like he would be protective and spoil his s/o and be the one to drive them around !
okay this is so cute yesyesyes!!
better gifs probably exist but it took me almost as long to find the gif as it did to write this lmao
Tumblr media
SO:
You didn't notice it at first
You'd only just started dating the Ferrari driver and you guessed he was proud of his career so insisted on driving you everywhere
Not that you minded because you didn't think you'd ever been a car like his road Ferrari, it was undoubtedly the coolest thing ever
As time went by and you'd been together for a couple of months you noticed that he shut you down every time you offered to drive, even if it was more convenient for the pair of you
He insisted on being the designated driver for every event
He'd go way out of the way to drop you off at home
You'd have to pile the shopping on the backseat in that silly low-suspension sports car because there wasn't enough room in the back and he wouldn't let you take your perfectly sensible and normal car out
And then you started watching Carlos with other people
He would always drive when he went to visit his parents or they came to see him
He would drive Rupert and other members of the Ferrari team everywhere
He'd let them film him, and answer questions and do his bits comfortably from behind the wheel
Hell, even after a race, when he'd been in a car for two hours and was sweaty and exhausted, he still insisted on driving you home
The only person you'd ever seen him let drive was his Dad, and Charles when they were doing challenge videos for the team's YouTube page
One day, curled up in bed, you realise you've run out of milk for tea
You're more than happy to pop out to the shops, but Carlos is having none of it and insists on driving you to the shops despite it being less than five minutes away
So you being you decided it was time to ask him
As it turns out, after much badgering, chasing him down and sitting on him and peppering him with kisses between tickles, he finally spills his guts to you
Carlos has five reasons why he never lets anyone else drive when he's around
Number One: he actually enjoys it. He loves being able to relax without the pressure of a race and just enjoy driving for what it is. He loves long road trips, especially in the summer, and he has several playlists to always set the perfect mood
Number Two: he admits, blushing and kissing you, that he worries so much about everyone. He's one of the top 20 drivers in the world, and his reaction times are almost superhuman. He thinks it's cruel to let anyone else drive. What if you got in an accident he could have swerved? If anything bad happened to you or anyone he cares about, he could never forgive himself. He'd always blame himself
Number Three: his ego. He grins at you as he flips the pair of you over and pins you down, pushing a knee between your legs with ease. Come on, he probes, what feels better to a man than cruising down the streets with the most beautiful woman in the front seat of the newest supercar, custom made for him?
Which brings him onto Number Four: he softens, boxing you in below him but pressing loving kisses to your skin as he does. He loves opening the door for you, holding out a hand to steady you as you lower yourself into his car. He loves the way you look at him as he guides the car confidently around the streets. The way he makes fast feel smooth and easy. He loves being a gentleman. He wants to treat you properly at all times. He wants you to be spoilt so that you never have to want or need anything ever again. He would do anything for you, and that extends to driving
And finally
Number Five: he rolls off you, burning his face in the pillow, making you laugh as you burrow down to his level to hear his muffled words better. He gets travel sick. Not badly, he defends, but enough that he's never really comfortable as a passenger. He'd rather drive, rather be in control of that feeling. He finds it embarrassing. You ask him how he flies so often, and he admits flying is okay, but he always carries anti-sickness tablets for turbulence and taxi rides
You pull him close, kissing him deeply and thanking him for finally telling you about his obsession with driving
He insists on taking you out for milk and MacDonalds, the pair of you in your pyjamas and you in his hoodie, in the brand new Ferrari. You're so scared you can't eat in the thing, but he just laughs at you with the bag of hot, greasy food perched so carefully on your knees
It's nearly midnight, and the orange glow from the street makes Carlos' hair shine and his eyes darken and he looks like he's glowing beside you as he sings along to Smooth Operator, because he thinks he's funny like that
He catches you staring, and his grin takes your breath away
"I love you," the words are so familiar to him, but he could listen to you say them again and again and again. He reaches out for your hand, thumb brushing your knuckles softly as he holds it gently
"I love you, too,"
Here is a cute little thing to hopefully ease the pain from today. Jesus Christ seeing him in that burning, rolling car just waving for help honestly broke my heart and I was so so scared for him. I'm so glad he's okay <3
And before y'all ask, the next thing being published will be Flat Spin Chapter 5!
I need to write two more sections for it before it will be ready. It WILL be done by next week, the day depends on how busy placement is (and how much I'm procrastinating packing to move home for summer)
as per usual this is total fiction and just an interpretation of the carlos we see in don't blink. the travel sickness idea literally came from that one video where lando yeets the car around the track whilst carlos is supposed to be asking questions and they both struggled. is most likely not true but i thought it was cute don't come @ me pls
Much love to everyone <3

The Devil's Price!
Platonic WHB kings +Sibling reader: How it came to be This is going to end up being my base for reader in platonic WHB fics, but I will specify if otherwise Short, Also the reader pretty much gets kidnapped and doesn’t care at all in most of them- No Beelzebub here, forgot him-
SATAN: KING OF WRATH.
Long before you had met Satan, you lived in a small hut deep in the forests of Gehenna (Think like Gamigin when he first met Lucifer). Despite your young age and lazy behavior, you survived on foraging alone with no one else around to help you. Satan found himself wandering the outskirts of Gehenna when he first laid eyes on you in a little hammock outside the small abode you had made for yourself, snoozing away without a care to be found. He felt something in his mind telling him that he MUST take you home. Satan wasn’t sure how to do that, so he waited for you to wake up. Once you did wake up, Satan looked at you, and said one thing; “I’m your brother now, no questions.” You didn’t get a chance to properly process what he said before Satan picked you up and walk back to his residence. You never questioned it, and neither did anyone else. It just worked out.
MAMMON: KING OF GREED Mammon has always been a busy man, more often than not consumed by the work of ruling over Tartaros. Despite this, he found himself craving something new: something that he couldn’t put in his treasure warehouse but was just as valuable as all the items inside. Mammon went to Eligos for advice, as Bimet wasn’t much help. Eligos, after listening to what Mammon had to say, suggested what may have been the best thing he ever said. “Maybe,”- Eligos starts- ”You should make a sibling for yourself, your Highness.” Mammon had a good idea of what to do after some thought and he went straight to work carving a small statue made of gold in the shape of a child. With a tiny bit of magic, you came to be. Though Mammon could technically be your father, He’s your brother, no questions.
LUCIFER: KING OF PRIDE
You were a spirit husk (Think like a Seelie from Genshin), floating around the world aimlessly, no ideas in your head to give you any sort of direction. Time was nonexistent to you, and so too was thinking foreign to you. Sometime within your thoughtless roaming, there was a blond man with white eyes and black Sclera, as well as a blue-haired man beside him. The blond man held his hand out to you, and within a blink of an eye, you had a form. Small red horns sat on your head, and a very confused look on your face. The blue haired man laughed slightly, and put a jacket on you, as you may or may not have had any clothes on (That's up to you).
The blond spoke quietly, almost unable to be heard. “Good. Come now, we’re going home.” He grabbed your arm, and within time, you became ‘Lucifer’s little sibling’. Unbeknownst to you on that day, Lucifer had been watching you for quite a while, and had been keeping an eye on you. Unlike the relationships he had with his brothers in heaven, Lucifer wanted a more… Simple relationship. A sort of relationship formed by trust. Lucifer had never been one for words, but you always knew what he wanted to say when Lucifer made subtle gestures to show that he cared.
LEVIATHAN: KING OF ENVY
You were lost. You were a demon, but that’s all you knew. Wandering the woods of Hades for even an idea for your identity, but you never found it. You watched the water levels rise and fall, until they didn’t stop rising. The land where you had once lived was flooded, turned into what could be considered a lake. You sat on the ground. Starting out at what had been your home. You felt watched; as if there was someone there. And there was. A gorgeous demon with black horns stood behind you, and put a hand on your back. “Tears are futile. I am now your home.” Leviathan yanked your arm, and shoved you into what seemed to be a coffin. You pounded on the door, desperate to get out. Seconds felt like hours as you became exhausted from trying to escape. You were scared; petrified even.
At last, the door opened and you tumbled out, falling flat on your face. Looking up, you see the beautiful face of Leviathan staring down at you. You frantically look around at the lavish bedroom, before you feel a yank at your neck. Within the time you spent confused and panicking, Leviathan put a red-rope noose around your neck, and pulled you up by it.
"Look at me." Leviathan stated grabbing your chin in order to force you to look at him. When you do, he looks at you as with an oddly calm face. "This is your room now. I am your brother, and you WILL stay here when I am not with you. Do you understand?" You nod, confused but you don't really care because he's pretty.
________________________________________________
This makes no sense but take it anyways.

Aromantic Horangi is not something I’ve considered, but I love it. Tell me more.
As for dealing with Krueger I see Soap as the one more likely to start a fistfight. The guy is hot blooded as hell and he’s not going to tolerate anyone calling his relationships into question. Ghost seems more the type for the subtle warfare, he doesn’t want to upset Konig but he’s gonna fuck Krueger’s day up.
I headcannon Horangi as someone super laid back, but in the silent, precise and analytical kind of way. We are talking to the extend of coming off as colder than he actually is. But he actually cares deeply. König didn't understand this, until he has a bad panic attack at 3 am and afterwards stands in the kitchen, trying to pour a bowl of cereal with shaking hands. Only for Horangi to come in, take one look at him and do it for him, before sitting with him for an hour, until König feels like he is able to sleep again. He considers him his best friend afterwards.
I feel like their closeness would lead to landing in bed together and König proceeds to fall. Hard. Horangi tries again and again to explain to him that he cares deepy, but love is just not on the table, that he just doesn't feel attraction in this way. Its frustrating for both of them, they fight more than once, because König thinks Horangi is just using him. He feels like they are basically a couple already, what does HHorangi mean he doesnt fall in love? He thinks he does something wrong. König only gets over his feelings when Horangi puts his foot down and tells him to respect his boundaries and feelings or else. König finally does a bit of googling and this makes it much easier for him to be understanding. Horangi isnt lying, this is a thing that people do experience.
What stays, is a gentle, deep friendship. They trust each other, sleep with each other and hold each other. Even if they are not exclusive, they don't really go out with other people because its inconvenient, but Horangi has more partners than König. They share a physical proximity, but König always longs for a relationship with someone who loves him romantically. (Which is hard to come by when you don't wanna give up your squish.) König often vents his frustrations to him and Horangi really tries to hold back on the: "Well, if you were Aromantic, your life would be easier. Ever considered changing teams?" Jokes.
When he meets Ghost and Soap, he is head over heels and when they notice him too, there is a conversation to be had about the whole thing, but they accept his thing with Horangi fully. There is still jealousy sometimes, that can't be fully avoided, but Horangi taught König how to properly communicate polyamory and now he can step up and help them navigate this.
(Horangi is happy with his sexuality, albeit he had to struggle for some time, the typical "whats wrong with me??? Why can't I love my partners like they love me? Am I doing something wrong??" Until he just says fuck it and starts setting boundaries.)
And ABSOLUTELY. Soap laughs at first because he thinks it is a joke or Krueger is just weird, but he clocks on to Krueger being malicious on purpose and it might very well escalate to screaming and threats. Maybe not to a fistfight (because ghost holds him back) because Soap knows he would get a write up and thats not a good look. Ghost follows Krueger at night, just to freak him out. Acts as if he is just coincidentally wherever Krueger is. It gets really terrefying when Krueger goes for a jog and there is the cherry of a cigarette closely behind him. He doesnt stop his shitty behavior, but god, he makes sure that he is never alone with Ghost for too long.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
-
Derek’s hand twitches by his side, an urge to reach out and place it on Stiles’ shoulder, to stop and ask if he’s okay. As the mall trip progresses and the longer they spend walking through each store, the more exhausted Stiles looks.
It’s been at least three hours by now and while Kira’s finished up her shopping, including helping Scott pick out a new heft of clothes, Lydia’s gotten her selection of makeup bought; they’re all still trying to help Malia. This is the first time she’s been in a mall since she turned back into a human, it’s overwhelming for her, Derek can only imagine how her supernatural senses are making things sound and smell. Peters been helping Lydia guide Malia through what to buy, how to find the right sizes and what materials she likes, everything that’s needed for a successful shopping trip. And while Derek would love to indulge in seeing his uncle act so tenderly and be so welcomed by the pack, his mind keeps drifting to Stiles.
They drove here in Stiles’ jeep, just them two, and normally that’d mean Stiles would ramble happily to Derek, but today it was almost dead silent. Part of Hale had been worried it was because of their newest development in their relationship, him watching over Stiles when he’s regressed, but then Stiles had yawned loud enough for Derek to cue into what’s going on with him. He’s far too tired to be on a mall trip, never mind one that runs over three hours.
Derek knows he should take Stiles home and get him tucked into bed, let him sleep the rest of the weekend if he so pleased to. There’s still a hesitation to take that authority, to decide for Stiles, he doesn’t want to push too hard. Risk breaking the trust Stiles has put in him.
“Derek?” Peters voice drags Derek back to the store they stand in, he glances around a second to gain his bearings. Kira, Lydia and Malia are by the dressing room, Scott trailing behind them as he talks to Melissa on the phone, Derek can tell it’s Melissa because Scott never speaks that much Spanish with anyone else. Finally he lands on Stiles, where he leans heavily against the stores wall and struggles to keep his eyes open.
“Are you okay?” Peters hand is firm on Derek’s shoulder, gripping it the same way he did when they were kids, when Derek had been plagued by nightmares that made him scream out for Peter, for Laura, for Talia.
“I think I’m gonna take Stiles back to the loft, he needs sleep.” He thinks he sounds like they did, like Peter, Laura, and Talia did, making the decision for Derek that he needed to be looked after. Cared for. He wants to be that for Stiles, to be the safety he once needed and can now give.
“Okay, text me if you need anything. Take care of him.” Peter pats Derek’s shoulder before he stalks back over towards where Malia’s waving for him. Derek takes a breath to steady himself then turns on his feet to walk to Stiles.
-
“Stiles? Hey, hey, easy, just me.” Stiles jerks more awake when Derek shakes his arm slightly, watching how the brunettes eyes flick around quickly before settling on Derek’s face.
“We movin’ stores?” It comes out slurred and groggy, Stiles reaching to rub the sleep out of his eyes.
“We’re going home.” Derek keeps his voice as soft as he can muster without letting all his concern show through.
“We’re done?” He nods instead of trying to explain that they’re the only ones leaving, knowing that Stiles would just fight to stay and give a million reasons why he needs to be there. Derek always appreciates the stubbornness Stiles put up, it reminds him of himself, but Stiles isn’t in any state for an argument.
“Yeah bud, we’re done. I’m gonna take you back to my loft.” He takes Stiles hand when the little leans onto Derek’s shoulder, all his weight shifting to be against Hale. It breaks Derek’s heart. He wishes could scoop Stiles into his arms and carry him away, make sure he never exhausts himself like this again. He settles on squeezing Stiles’ hand tighter.
-
They make it to the loft with no complications. Derek’s even able to talk Stiles into riding on his back up the stairs so he could stay in the half asleep state he fell into on the ride back.
“There we go, comfortable?” He asks once he’s taken Stiles’ shoes off and laid him back in Derek’s large bed. He debated taking them back to the Stilinski house but figured they’d have less of a chance of getting interrupted here.
“Jeans aren’t.” A huff of a laugh escapes Derek, he nods before tuning over to his dresser. The bottom drawer has become Stiles designated drawer for all his little gear, it’s not a lot, nor does Derek think it’s enough, but he’s able to pull a pair of fleece pajama pants out and a pacifier Stiles adores.
“Here, now lay still as I get your jeans off.” The idea of causing some type of harm to Stiles or making him more uncomfortable pains Derek. He takes his time pulling the jeans off before slipping the fleece pants on. He darts his eyes up to Stiles as he works, watching with a small smile how Stiles happily sucks on the green pacifier that he’s taken to quickly.
“Feel better?” Stiles nods along before his arms open up, urging Derek to come lay beside him. Derek’s heart stops for a split second seeing it, knowing how much trust it takes for Stiles to be so vulnerable, he’s heard a couple times about how Stiles’ regression is something he doesn’t share with many. With anyone really, Scott and Lydia know, Alison knew, and now Derek knows. That’s it.
So Derek graciously shrugs off his jacket and climbs into the bed, allowing Stiles to curl into his side and place his head on Hales chest. It doesn’t take much longer for Stiles to fall asleep, his heartbeat and breath pattern even out, a comforting rhythm that Derek sits awake to listen to. He carefully moves to take the pacifier that’s gone slack out of Stiles’ mouth, placing it on the bedside table for when he wakes up, before Derek allows himself to drift off. He hopes Stiles feels the safety and security that in Hales arms that Derek did with his family after those nightmares, when he had caregivers looking after him.
