"I'll be home for Christmas"

NO HE WON'T! I'm working on an enormous M*A*S*H Christmas drawing, but in case I don't finish in time, have this. I don't know what possessed me but this really isn't my art style. I like it, though!

I also have a backlog of things I've posted on Instagram but not here, I promise I will get to them after Christmas.

my earnest hope for 2025 is that everyone embraces being a little weirder and freakier and less judgmental bc we will all be better off for it like to charge reblog to cast

For the 8 days of Chanukacakes, I have a wild prompt for you: Hangman Page, Dalton Castle and another rug for the both of them. (it's from one of Dalton's vlog and everything.)

I LOVE this prompt. But as I started writing, I realized pretty quick it likely wasn't going to hit my personal word threshold for 8doc so I've decided to drop it a few days early as a little treat.

rugged love / dalton castle x adam page / rated T / ~700 words

Adam hears him before he sees him. A strident voice, echoing down the hall as he directs the boys no doubt carrying his luggage. Adam shakes his hands out, taking a deep breath before he opens the door to the locker room. He hopes he looks casual as he leans against the wall.

“Well, look what the cat dragged in,” he drawls. Dalton whirls around, his familiar devious smile curling up when he sees Adam.

“I figured it was about time someone came in to class things up,” he says with a laugh. “How’s it hanging, cowboy?” He leans in to give Adam a smacking kiss on the cheek before swanning past him and dropping onto a bench.

Adam’s cheek tingles. “Good,” he mumbles, all bravado gone in the face of Dalton’s aura. He doesn’t know how it happens every time, but Adam is incapable of being in Dalton’s orbit for more than a few minutes without turning into a blushing fool.

Dalton looks around curiously and Adam realizes it’s his first time backstage at AEW. “Bit more legroom than those old ROH tapings,” he says approvingly, and Adam’s skin heats up like the approval is directed at him. Dalton glances back at Adam with a smirk. “Disappointing lack of furry rugs, though.”

A flash of grey passes through Adam’s mind, a rug on the floor and lying in front of Dalton with an easy smile, wishing more than anything that it could be more than a bit for a vlog. A gaggle of wrestlers enter the room, laughing and joking around, calling out excited welcomes to Dalton. Adam takes his leave quietly, the sounds of the locker room fading behind him.

If Adam hovers a bit more pointedly whenever Dalton’s around, well, no one is cruel enough to point it out. He stays quiet, content to continue existing in Dalton’s orbit, laughing at his bad jokes and skin heating up every time Dalton throws a flirtatious innuendo his way. He no longer films his vlog, but he still acts like a camera is on at all times, performing for the locker room. Adam wants to believe it’s not all performative, likes to imagine Dalton actually means it when he teases Adam about cuddling together. He knows better, though, and if all he can ever have is this, it will be enough.

He's not always the most observant with people around him, but it becomes hard to ignore one night when just about every person he walks past backstage smiles at him, even people he’s not sure he’s ever spoken to. He checks his reflection to see if maybe he’s spilled something or split a seam but nothing stands out.

“Don’t go in there,” Silver blurts out when Adam approaches the locker room. Adam freezes, throat clenching. His first thought is another fight, or maybe a medical situation. A knock comes from behind the door and Silver pushes it open just enough to peek in, using his body to block Adam from seeing inside. There’s a rustle and whispering, and then Silver turns around and grins. “Never mind, go ahead.”

Adam frowns, moving past Silver and pushing the door open. He stops, looking around in confusion. There’s no one in the room except for Dalton, who is sprawled out on the floor and gazing up at Adam with a playful smirk on his lips. He’s lying on a rug, shag pile in the most horrendous shade of fuchsia Adam’s ever seen.

“Get down here, cowboy,” Dalton says, patting the rug next to him. Adam pauses, looking around again. There’s still no one else there, and there are no cameras set up that he can see. He lets go of his suitcase and lowers himself carefully, lying on his side facing Dalton.

“What’s going on?” he asks.

Dalton reaches out, puts his hand on Adam’s hip and tugs him forward. “Got tired of waiting for you to pick up on my flirting,” he says. “Decided to go for an old standard and see if that did the trick.”

Adam flushes, ducking his head down. “Didn’t think you were serious,” he mumbles. He chances a look at Dalton, whose smile gentles into something softer.

“Silly goose,” he teases, leaning forward. “I’m always serious when it comes to cuddling my cowboy.” Adam’s eyes flutter shut as Dalton’s lips touch his.
