completely feral over the line "i don't usually take care of what i own" because it's boston admitting his faults but the wording of it still expresses this fucked up dynamic between them in which he "owns" nick. and nick wants to be owned. it's not so much a matter of boston or nick having to change themselves fundamentally for their relationship to work, but it's about seeing each other for who they are, and boston taking care of nick and his feelings.
i just read Neverwhere and oh my gosh i love it so much i love books with a magical underground world and there was this cool eldritch angel and mushroom people and magic doors and and and
Gross horny Childe getting so worked up when wifey calls him ‘good boy’ or ‘pumpkin’ (I for some reason said pumpkin in my head in a southern accent)
YES TO THIS A 1000X I LOVE IT
he will deny it but secretly he loves praise! be it fellow harbingers (which happen once a blue moon), his other comrades, underlings etc. he hides it under a mask of indifference and just smiles and waves his hand but secretly he preens like a peacock...well but with you it's a entirely different situation.
he EATS THAT SHIT UP, he loves being praised by you, getting called all the cute petnames and he doesn't really try to hide it! he blushes a nice red color, his usually pale cheeks get pink when you tell him what a good boy he is when you inspect the cake he baked and you deemed it to be perfect, or when you call him shit like 'darling' or the cheesy 'pumpkin' he swears he has to physically reign himself in or he'd jump you right then and there in the middle of your kitchen.
it a miracle really that with what little flimsy clothes he wears you never noticed the twitching tent in his pants, bulging and begging for attention. ohh what would he give to be able to feel your soft hands in on the wet tent, massaging it before firmly gripping his clothed erection and shyly pumping it <3
Can I just say I love the vigilante!au you thought of for Ghost and Jade. It makes me think of the different scenarios.
Scenario 1:
Jade turning the lights on in her kitchen the middle of the night and Ghost standing there. He drops a stack of photos on the counter and they’re all photos of her going through her day. Jade stares at the photos and looks back at him as if to ask if he took the pictures.
Ghost simply shakes his head. “Lifted them from Graves’ shadows. Seems he’s taken with you.” He walks over and clasps’ a hand on her shoulder. With a dry chuckle he says: “New in town and you already caught the attention of Graves. Tread carefully.” And disappears through the open window.
Scenario 2:
Jade gets called to investigate a firefight in a old warehouse and finds not only Makarov’s men dead but an injured ghost leaning against the wall. The two stare at each other until Price’ voice breaks over on Jade’s radio. He’s asking for the status report on the warehouse and she reports that Makarov’s men were dead when she arrived.
“Ghost’s work?” Price asks.
Jade stared at the injured man and dryly states:“Looks like it.”
“Any sign of him?” Ghost tenses and stares at Jade through hardened eyes. He braces himself to get up and run.
“No.”
Ghost pauses and stares. Jade leans into her radio once more. “Looks like he’s been gone for a while.”
Price cursed. “Alright. Keep going with your investigation and keep me updated.”
Still looking at Ghost Jade replies with a: “Will do, Captain.” And leaves to feta. First-aid kit for Ghost.
HELLOOOOOOOOOOWWWW?????
THESE ARE VERY GOOD SCENARIOOOSS. This will fr live rent free in my mind and I will dream of it at night.
(Might screw around and draw them too who knows 👁️👁️)
