#but also...Monet doesn't know she still calls him the childhood nickname

[astoldbychae]

I know I really haven't told Melo's story (or any story) in its full true capacity to my liking, yet...(its been gameplay shenanigans up until this point)...

But the "OC Ask Game" thingy got me thinking...and I've been sorta, kinda melting (for no reason at all) at the fact that Marguerite still calls Melo "Suge" (which is his childhood (preteen-hood...?) nickname (She does it at random, like it'll come up in basic conversation because it's muscle memory at this point...but also what ties her to him (and makes her feel...a sense of comfort).

I honestly despise her for what she did to break up their marriage (And I LOVE Monet down) but knowing that she still calls him that (at random) and seeing the way he responds (in my mind) is the cutest thing. Its' harmless (in my mind...it may be calculated in hers *shrugs*)... Like, yes, he loves Monet down! And things are done with Marguerite...but the little things (like being called "Suge" gives him a sense of security/feels like home) and my heart melts a bit because of it...It catches him off guard EVERY time...but he doesn't show it. It's like this harmless thing that means nothing but everything at the same time...It just flows during conversation and he bypasses it (but also notices it...yet thinks nothing of it...if that makes sense)

Despite EVERYTHING that went down between the two, he still wants what's best for her, even though she is THEE biggest pain in the ass. He wants to see her happy. When I tell ya'll he loved the hell out of that girl...and was heartbroken by what she did to him and their marriage...but his heart still wants her to be happy because she is the mother of their children (and because he LOVED her). But He wants his kids to reap the benefits of being in a healthy, happy environment more than anything (and he knows that begins with him and her)

He TRULY wants them to have the happiest, safest upbringing possible and I really love that about him. 🥺 When Marguerite tries to make things about him and her, he redirects that focus on the children. Monet got her a good one, chile!
