#cale is little spoon

Choicale Headcanon #6: Big spoon, Little spoon

Choi Han likes being the big spoon. It makes him feel like he can protect and shield Cale from outside dangers. He also likes the feeling of knowing Cale is within his grasp and that Cale has a lot of trust in him be in his arms at all. Physical intimacy is also just a comfort for him in general since he did not receive any when he was in the Dark Forest.

Cale likes being little spoon for similar reasons. It’s a show of trust on his part for one thing. Proof he got over his original fears about Choi Han and that he’s trusted enough to be in a position of physical power over Cale. Even if he acts like he is just indulging Choi Han he actually finds his strong and reliable presence at his back comforting. He likes feeling as though he is being taken care of. Plus he’s fallen for the idea “spooning -> cuddles -> naps -> slacker life”.

They do occasionally swap for kicks or if Cale want to reassure/comfort Choi Han but their pretty content in their usual roles.

All hail the weakling Cale

So, I'm writing a sick Cale Henituse fanfic with a little bit of plot and a lot of stubbornness on both Cale and the others' side.

Just a snippet from chapter three that I have not posted yet.

"No."

And if anyone asked, no, Cale wasn't shaking from how scared he was of a certain Butler's hand pushing him down; he was just cold.

Unfortunately, Ron also seemed to think so, as he fixed the blanket that Cale had pushed off earlier over him. He and Ron stared at each other for a moment before they both let out the same tired sigh at the same time.

A few quiet moments later, Beacrox entered with just one tray. The kids were outside, playing. Or at least that's what Choi Han told him with that scary look in his eyes.

(Little did he know, the children averaging 9 years old were not so much as 'playing' as 'training'. Well, to them, there isn't much of a difference.)

Aigoo, how'd I meet so many vicious people in just two years?

Cale continued to internally sulk while his face outside was still stoice and flushed. His slacker life was still quite far away, but he still had some stuff to deal with on the Eastern continent. There were also the pressing matters of the mermaids that he tried to ignore but couldn't anymore, and of course the white radish found a new buddy around as strong as Syrem.

Cale was frowing when Ron finished setting up his breakfast and smoothed his hair back. He probably didn't like what he saw in the redhead's eyes, as the atmosphere around him turned chilly. But that also quickly subsided when he saw his young master shiver.

Cale looked at the food with a disgruntled expression. He didn't feel like eating when all he was doing was throwing up and wasting precious resources. This was a waste of money, food, and hygienic cleaning supplies all at the same time. He would much prefer to talk with his wicked hyung at his desk about his reward money, which was due to arrive in buckets soon enough.

So he didn't pick up the spoon. And even when Ron picked it up to feed him—really, how old do they think he is? Strong people must have very high standards for strong people, or else why would they treat him like a weakling?!

(AN: LMAO, Cale mistaking their affection for him to them treating him like a weakling!🥹Though he is a weakling in a sense, albeit a very strong one.)

Cale discreetly takes a glance at Beacrox, who is standing by the door as if trying to replace Choi Han's palce, who is currently busy 'playing' along with the children.

So, in short, Cale did not need to be a role model anymore and could be as stubborn as he wanted.

His trash insticts kicked in.

Cale pursed his lips shut and did not budge even when he saw Ron's hand twitching with frustration.

hi hungry anon back again! i present to thee... DOUBLE CHIN SUGU ‼️‼️

its just a tiny eensy weensy thing hanging from the bottom of his chin but the way you laser in on it after a few days of sharing your food with him is a little freaky (but he doesnt mind it that much because of all the kisses you give him right there)

for fanart reference i highly suggest monosrojo's art of chubby sugu its like the only jjk art they have other than a drawing of yuuta + rika BUT VERY GOOD

when suguru starts visibly gaining weight you smother him in kisses, giving him the same treatment he gives you.

squeezing his love handles, nuzzling into his tummy, smacking his FAT ass when he walks by, and saying how much you love him, of course ♥️.

and he quickly takes it all in stride. backed by his own assurance in himself and affirmations from his supportive partner!!

and your reply about him making you feel better...actually so real.

you probably send him a text about how bad your day was, or venting about an incident at work and the second hes off the clock, hes heading to a wonderful bakery that he frequently splurges at.

the box he brings home is huge and heavy, but packed to the brim with one of every pastry they offer while in his head hes thinking about making a sandwich thats layered with tons of different fillings. all together, his plan for dinner is incredibly calorie dense, but as long as youre happy he doesnt mind.

when he gets home, he gives you a kiss from where youre laying in a sad heap on the couch, but you perk up at the pretty box he set down on the coffee table.

if you ask what it is, a sly grin is plastered on his face, 'something to make you feel better.' is all he says before tucking you under his chin and letting you vent about your day.

as you start talking, hes going to hold up macarons, donuts stuffed with whipped cream and strawberries, custard hand pies, whatever is handheld and easy to bring to your mouth.

then once youre more distracted by eating than talking, hell start handing you huge croissants stuffed with cream and fruits, different flavors of cale slices, mini fruit parfaits.

and then, unexpectedly, you turn around from where youre sitting in his lap. 'try some su!' you cajole as he denies over and over.

'theyre for you to feel better, not me.' he argues, but you whine.

'you wanna know what would make me feel better? if you ate something.'

that finally convinces him to open his mouth and eat a macaron that was left over from the many flavors he bought, and your reply stopped him in his tracks.

'good boy!' you kissed his neck as he swallowed and turned back around like nothing happened.

underneath you, his dick probably twitched and you covered up your evil smile with a spoonful of the two thick slices of triple chocolate cake on the flimsy paper plate in your hands.

'come down here guru, try some of this,'

this time, hes obedient and leans over your shoulder for a bite out of the other rich slice you hadnt touched yet.

'here, some more.' another forkful and suddenly youre putting bite after bite of cake in front of his mouth and hes willingly taking it into his mouth and swallowing.

eventually the two of you are tearing apart the rest of the box.

hed hold a huge glazed donut to your lips that youd finish in two bites, suguru would get four or five pieces of fudge popped into his mouth one after the other.

finally, he moans around a huge frosted cookie being shoved in his mouth and buries his flushed face in your neck.

sugurus breathing hard with crumbs around his mouth while youre swallowing down your last slice of strawberry shortcake that had a thick white glaze across the top of it.

'does your tummy hurt?' you asked, hands already moving down to his distended torso. from personal experience, something as intense as what the two of you just did would always result in you whining for gentle tummy rubs.

'yeah, yeah.' you laid him back on the couch and moved his shirt up for better access.

once you get your hands on the tight skin of his tummy, he moans at first contact and arches his back.

you stop and let him settle before going back to caressing from the bottom of his taut and heavy belly to the top and back down again.

he keeps moaning and writhing, but combined with the way his round tummy poked up definitely added to your little fantasy of getting him pregnant. maybe you could get him to have twins somehow...

i think suguru would cum just from having his full tummy kneaded and massaged, especially with some lotion.

when you notice he moans particularly loud and thrusts his hips up, your eyes are drawn to the wet patch against his jeans.

youd tease him a bit, then order takeout (the sandwich could be saved for another day). its probably something meant for a full family that the two of you devour, then migrate to the bed to lazily fuck and cuddle.

thats my little soapbox spiel heehee, i hope you enjoyed it ^_^ and feel free to add on!!

It's been 4 billion years oh my gosh...hungry anon save me hungry anon

(part 1)

I don't think Im ever gonna finish that lsh and cjs transmigrating into lcf fic so Ill just put my half baked au + unhinged ramblings here

-Deruth and jour died. Twins were raised by Marquis Stan (for...reasons). That was why Roksu ended up the way he is right now

-Roksu also blew up the entire Stan territory when he came of age and that earned him his infamous reputation.  

-Roksu is the cold, aloof Northern Duke but he is also a pyromaniac at heart. (Alver was not amused) 

-He is also ,essentially, a corporate slave like lsh and cjs which helps enliken him to them.

-Lsh got over his morality pretty quick and gets selective blindness in front of Roksu's various bouts of insanity later. Cjs had a thing for crazy northern archdukes so he was having the time of his life

-They forcefully make him sleep and eat food all three times a day. (krs really didn't wanna eat but the puppy eyes got to him) 

-Eventually he gets used to the sleeping sessions so much that he cannot sleep when they leave so he asks them to stand in his room. To his annoyance, he still cannot sleep and lsh jokingly asks him if he wants to hear a lullaby. 

Krs : Do I look like a baby to you?

Lsh : (internally) yes *starts singing all the lullabies he remembered*

Krs : *Out like a light in 0.1 sec*

—----

-They help him bathe and get dressed too.(wrapped him up in a bathrobe and then placed him on the bed, telling him about the itenary even if he already remembers everything as they slowly dry his hair and then help him dress up. Krs lets them bcoz their voices are surprisingly soothing and he gets to sleep longer this way)

-Cjs's eyes gleaming mischievously when krs almost purred while his head was being scratched. Krs, who had initially argued that he had no time for such useless things, froze. He later had to get a lot of head scritches and scalp massages after that.

-Drunk Roksu calling lsh hyung. Lsh nearly trips in response. (He came back home drunk from a masquerade at the royal palace and made it everyone's problem. Lsh and cjs had the time of their life though)

-Og!cale comes up one day to meet his lil brother to check if he is still alive or not, only to find him cuddling with his butler and aide (what the fuck, Roksu????!!)

-He ends up in a staring contest with the two hounds who were clinging to his precious little brother, annoyed that someone dared to disturb their private time. (Cale's hand twitch and move towards his sword when cjs smirked proactively at him as if he was taunting him) 

- Cale looked gobsmacked when he saw Roksu's ears flushing when lsh and cjs were squabbling over who gets to feed Roksu. He gets so annoyed that he shoves a spoonful of food in his brother's mouth, earning a stink eye from everyone in the room but does that stop him? No.

Thinking about Lucian dropping by Lou and Imogen’s place just to cook for them. Of course AJ and Ricky had to tag along too. The girls don’t usually help cook but the boys do. It’s Lou and Ricky just asking Lucian about life back home. Lou’s favorite story is the one where Lucian and Amelia stole some guinea pigs from a restaurant but one of them was pregnant. His momma, Lucia, was so pissed at him and banned him from seeing Amé for a month while she had to figure out what the hell to do with six pigs. Meanwhile Imogen and AJ are just giggling on the couch. Imogen’ll ask AJ to braid down her hair for a sew-in done later. AJ would just be obsessed with Sozin the whole time. Only time they’re interrupted is when Lucian wants to spoon feed them something. He loves his kids. Blood related and in-laws. (Or almost in-laws in Ricky’s case) They’re such a cute little family :( Imagine Dallas and Cale coming by too! I feel like Lucian and Cale are the best of friends now.

gbu playlists director's commentary

@trifoliate-undergrowth asked and now i am going to give the full track by track breakdown + general commentary because i have been waiting for someone to give me an excuse

(be warned before opening, this is long as hell)

overview

ended up making all of them 21 songs long–no particular reason for the number, it just worked out that way. i didn't originally intend for playlist times to matter, but when i realizes blondie's and tuco's could fit onto a cd, i fiddled with angel eyes's to cut down the length as well (specifically by dropping "riders on the storm" and replacing it with "people are strange"). i do definitely intend to burn these at some point; i'm thinking i'm going to start them each with the respective character's variant of the main theme and end them with the quotes i put in the descriptions. i structured blondie and tuco's by starting and ending each with a townes van zandt song. i had originally intended to do the same with angel eyes, but i couldn't find any townes songs i liked for him; i briefly considered starting and ending with the johnny cash songs instead, but i didn't like how that would've flowed, so i discarded the idea entirely. my main priority was getting things to flow musically well, but i did want certain themes in certain places.

breakdown: il buono

"where i lead me", townes van zandt: the opening verse especially.  “where i lead me, i will follow / where i need me, i will call me / i’m no fool, i’ll be ready / god knows i will be / and in the meantime make a little money / and buy a little mercy.”  really this is a blondie/tuco or even general gbu song, especially “or you can clench your fist, shake your head, and head to the country / i got no doubt about it, friends, that’s where they’ll find me” as tuco tracking blondie down for revenge.  i felt the vibe suited blondie best.

"elements and things," tony joe white: mostly my joking reference to the clint squint with “i would, but the sun’s in my eyes.”  that said, the music itself has the right vibe for him–makes me imagine him riding through the countryside–and the grandeur of it seems to suit him.  “you lay back and think about things,” too.

“the changeling,” the doors: “i’ve had money, and i’ve had none, but i’ve never been so broke that i couldn’t leave town.”  and also, blondie as a changeling, impossible to know or define or pin down.

“call me the breeze,” jj cale: a desert breeze, untethered, tied down to nothing?  “i ain’t got me nobody, i ain’t carryin’ me no load”?  that’s blondie to a tee (or he’d like it to be, anyway).

“spoonful,” willie dixon: a parallel with tuco, who has the howlin’ wolf version.  “could be a spoonful of water, to save you from the desert sand / but one spoon of lead from my 45 will save you from another man.”  this version strikes me as a little more romantic/sincere with the piano and dixon’s crooning vocals, and it also doesn’t mention gold like the wolf version, something i think blondie cares less about by the end.

“walk away,” tom waits: walking away, aka blondie’s favorite pastime.  “i always get out of the trouble i’m in.”  also, “a yellow dog knows when he has sinned” reminds me of him abandoning tuco and then being marched through the desert for it.

“secret intention,” the william loveday intention: blondie at sad hill specifically.  the religious overtones of both song and scene especially.  the ritual of it all.  the treachery.

“dancing with mr. d,” the rolling stones: another sad hill song.  it opens with “down in the graveyard where we have our tryst,” for god’s sake.  playing with blondie as an otherworldly and sinister figure.  “he never smiles, his mouth merely twists.”  not entirely true of him, but evocative.

“calling card,” rory gallagher: “whatever you do, brother, don’t show that hurt.”  i almost put this on tuco’s before ultimately switching it to blondie; he strikes me as being lonely deep down, and determined not to let on.  if you like, think of it as him advising tuco.

“the spy,” the doors: “i know the words you want to hear / i know your deepest, secret fear.”  finding out tuco’s secret(s).  also, “a spy in the house of love” just feels right for blondie.

“fire of love,” jody reynolds: “the sun beats down with its fiery glow  / knows i won’t see my love no more / i’m sorry for the things that i’ve done / forgive me dear, my only one.”  the desert!  also, the general idea of being burned/hurt by love strikes me as appropriate.  i think it hurts him, in a way, that he loves tuco.

“waiting for the sun,” the doors: mostly vibes, but the image of “it’s time to live in the scattered sun” reminded me of him for some reason, and the “waiting for you to come along / waiting for you to hear my song / waiting for you to tell me what went wrong” made me think of him and tuco (every gun makes its own tune, the ending).

“written in your hair,” robert lester folsom: this one is mostly vibes, and also something something buried gold/golden hair, but also “you can’t do a thing if you ain’t there” reminds me of him.

“don’t let me be misunderstood,” the animals: pretty self explanatory; he’s cruel perhaps without always wanting to be.  also, “no one alive can always be an angel / when things go wrong i seem to be bad” reminiscent of the missed shot and his subsequent ditching tuco in the desert.  a sort of apology.

“all along the watchtower,” bob dylan: a very blondie & tuco song to me.  the second verse especially.  “there are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke / but you and i, we've been through that, and this is not our fate / so let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.”  tuco’s near hangings and blondie’s near death in the desert (but you and i we’ve been through that), and the exchange of the secret at the bridge (so let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late); ironically, blondie lies.

“hunger child blues,” townes van zandt: one of THE top blondie songs to me.  i almost ended with this one for the “do you think that you know my name?” but it didn’t flow well.  it’s ethereal, and a little threatening, like him.

“(ghost) riders in the sky,” johnny cash: also on sentenza’s, who has the ronnie dawson cover.  i wanted to lean into the supernatural aspect, and “cowboy, change your ways today, or with us you will ride” felt apt.  i actually liked the dawson version better for blondie but the cash version flows very well musically.

“wand’rin’ star,” lee marvin: from paint your wagon.  if the title itself isn’t convincing enough, “i’ve never seen a sight that didn’t look better looking back.” 

“don’t fence me in,” clint eastwood: pretty self explanatory.  had to pick the clint cover for obvious reasons.

“state trooper,” bruce springsteen: “maybe you got a kid, maybe you got a pretty wife / the only thing that i got’s been botherin’ me my whole life” immediately makes me think of him.  as does “hi-ho, silver-o, deliver me from nowhere” and the echoing cries at the end.  the crushing loneliness of the open road.

“snake song,” townes van zandt: the other top blondie song to me.  “you can’t hold me, i’m too slippery / i do no sleepin’, i get lonely / you can touch me if you want to / but i got poison, i just might bite you.”  that’s blondie, baby.  the line “lie in circles on the sunlight” is also very evocative and “i’ll be there when you start sinkin’” reminds me of the ending.

breakdown: il brutto

"lungs", townes van zandt: another general gbu song, but “salvation sat and crossed herself and called the devil partner” makes me think of him and pablo.  “jesus was an only sun and love his only concept / strangers cry in foreign tongues and dirty up the doorstep” makes me think of his relationship with blondie, given their weird interplay as jesus and judas at various points.  as a bonus, “seal the river at its mouth, take the water prisoner / fill the sky with screams and cries, bathe in fiery answer” gives me branston bridge vibes also.

"wanted dead or alive," warren zevon: pretty self explanatory just from the title, but i thought "all i'm trying to do is find a peaceful place / but they say i have an outlaw's face" is particularly apt.  that, and the parallel of "fifteen states" to tuco being wanted in fifteen counties.

“do it again,” steely dan: “but the hangman isn’t hangin’, so they put you on the street.”  any song with a noose in it is a tuco song to me, especially if said noose is escaped, but the rest of the lyrics fit well too–revenge, trouble with the law, water in the desert, seduction and lost love (the wives!), gambling, making money.

“black widow blues,” townes van zandt: “i got the hands, pretty lady, gonna make you grieve / and the lovin’ gonna make you mine.”  a specific kind of drifting, hedonistic romanticism that suits him, i think.  something something a wife in every town.

“ventilator blues,” the rolling stones: “when you’re trapped and circled with no second chance / code of livin’ is your gun in hand / can’t be browed by beatin’, can’t be cowed by words / messed by cheatin’, ain’t gon’ ever learn.”  the line about “everybody's trying to step on their creator” and the opening verse about being agitated and beat down.

“goin’ out west,” tom waits: “they got some money out there, they’re giving it away” and “all my friends say i’m ugly, i got a masculine face.”  i feel like the braggadocio and the musical sound of it suits him.

“highway chile,” jimi hendrix: “now you’d probably call him a tramp, but i think it goes a little deeper than that”–tuco calls himself a tramp on the wagon.  “ain’t seen a bed in so long it’s a sin.”

“born under a real bad sign,” albert king: pretty self explanatory.  “if it wasn’t for real bad luck, i wouldn’t have no luck at all.”  that’s tuco, baby.  i used king’s original over the cream cover namely because of the line “i can’t read, never learned how to write.”

“laundromat,” rory gallagher: “what do you think of that? / i’m sleepin’ down at the laundromat” and the line about “come and meet my friends, they’ll be with me to the end” reminds me of his “if you work for a living, why do you kill yourself working?” scene

“who do you love,” townes van zandt: the morbid, boastful lyrics and themes of seduction suited tuco very well imo.  i love bo diddley but i picked the townes cover as i felt it fit better musically.

“brown eyed handsome man,” chuck berry: the braggadocio and the romanticization of brown eyes fits already, but the line about the judge’s wife setting a man free especially caught my attention, because it seems like it would happen to tuco (or he’d make up a story about it, anyway).

“hate street dialogue,” rodríguez: the song’s about growing up in inner city detroit, but it fits well, i think, with tuco’s line “where we come from, if one did not want to die in poverty, one became a priest or a bandit.”  also, “i’ve tasted hate street’s hanging tree.”

“snake mountain blues,” townes van zandt: the general lost love, “no one to care for me” thing, but also: “and it’s goodbye to this yellow-headed misery i’ve known.”  remind you of anyone?

“should’ve learnt my lesson,” rory gallagher: never learning, and “my first mistake was when i thought that you’d be true / now i realize that was a foolish thing to do” as everything with blondie.  “when you don’t fit, you know that’s the time to move.”  “you must be prepared to lose if you choose to toss the dice.”

“just a bum,” michael hurley: a wistful, romantic take on the life of a hedonistic drifter.  “just a tramp / call me what you like / see me travelin’ down the pike / and singin’ love songs / sittin’ by the fireside dreamin’ all night / makin’ love drunk in a meadow ‘neath the pale moonlight / travelin’ over land like a natural born man.”

“paper mountain man,” linda perhacs: the chorus, the line about “sewn by the love many ladies’ hands” and “you like delicate ladies with real fine skin / you’ll touch ‘em but you’ll never love / that’s the way you’ve always been,” the line about curly hair.  “heavy-booted walk tappin’ low funk blues” also feels fitting for reasons i can’t quite describe. 

“spoonful,” howlin’ wolf: also on blondie’s, who has the willie dixon version.  this version mentions gold, which is apt, and i think the mentions of being satisfied with just a little love work more ironically here than for blondie.  something about all this strife over a little wealth (before the gold comes along anyway...)

“driftin’ blues,” lowell fulson: “well i’m drifting and i’m drifting like a ship out to sea / ain’t got nobody in this world to care for me.”  need i say more?

“get behind the mule,” tom waits: one of the best suited songs for him, imo.  “i’m diggin' all the way to china with a silver spoon while the hangman fumbles with the noose”–sad hill!  but also, the idea of “you've got to get behind the mule in the morning and plow” is about how it goes for him.  he's just got to endure.  blondie leaves him in the desert seventy miles from town and tells him to manage it, so he does.  what else is he supposed to do?

“dirge,” bob dylan: this is the other peak tuco song for me.  the verse that starts “can’t recall a useful thing” which i made a web weave out of, but also, “i’ve paid the pride of solitude, but at least i’m out of debt.”

“rake,” townes van zandt: i wanted to end on kind of a grim note because there’s something very tragic about tuco as a character to me.  he ends the movie alive and with the gold, yes, but humiliated and abandoned by his partner.  reminds me of his relationship with pablo, too: “have you accomplished anything but evil?”  his drifting and hedonism can only take him so far before his past catches up with him eventually.

breakdown: il cattivo

"dead before dawn", vaguess: “please burn my rotting flesh / and don’t give me a grave / buy yourself something nice / with the money that you save / cause i’ll be gone”.  sad hill!

"sinister purpose," ccr: THE angel eyes song to me.  “burn away the goodness, you and i remain / did you see the last war? well here i am again.”  specifically, angel eyes to blondie.

"big in japan," tom waits: this one's all about the "i've got the [blank], but not the [blank]" structure.  as in, the cemetery, but not the grave–which could go for all of them, but i felt this fit sentenza best given he's trying to get both of these things; tortures it out of and forces a partnership on blondie since he suspects torture won't work on him.  that, and the "i've got the whole damn nation on its knees."

"people are strange," the doors: a time-constrained replacement for "riders on the storm," which i felt would’ve really suited him with the sinisterness of it and the thing about the drifting killer.  regardless, i think the idea of being cruel and apart from other people as a self-reinforcing cycle feels pretty fitting.

"thirteen," johnny cash: a song about a nameless killer.  “bad luck wind been blowin' at my back / i  was born to bring trouble to wherever i'm at” and “the list of lives i’ve broken reach from here to hell.”

"sympathy for the devil," the rolling stones: a song about a sophisticated devil?  come on, that’s angel eyes for sure.  i think “so if you meet me have some courtesy / have some sympathy and some taste / use all your well-learned politesse / or i’ll lay your sole to waste” is very fitting especially.

"whistlin’ past the graveyard," tom waits: this could've gone for any of the trio, honestly, but i picked angel eyes as this specific brand of sinister, supernatural braggadocio seemed to suit him best.

"i’m the devil," the william loveday intention: i feel like this one’s just self explanatory, to be honest.

"old judge jones," les dudek: one of my early adds; his (italian) name’s sentenza, after all, so i’m a sucker for pairing him with any song about judges/judgment.  “old judge jones never gave a man a break / on his hanging tree the leaves don’t shake.”

"the snake," al wilson: the theme of accepting someone else’s help and then crossing them because “you knew darn well i was a snake before you brought me in” feels very right for him.  something with how he betrays tuco.  hell, this could be a blondie song too.

"money talks," jj cale: “you’d be surprised with the friends you can buy with small change.”  the goons he hires.

"dead man, dead man," bob dylan: a tuco’s-eye-view of angel eyes, specifically.  the lines about “the glamor and the bright lights and the politics of sin,” “the tuxedo that you’re wearing, the flower in your lapel,” and the choruses with lines like “pretending that you’re so smart” and “what are you trying to prove?”–all his false sophistication and arrogance covering that he’s just another lowdown coward.

"hoist that rag," tom waits: the horrors of war (specifically, the prison camp stuff).

"wolf teeth," jd mcpherson: “i leave a little magic every place i go” (the inhuman vibes of him) and “leave a little blood so the grass can’t grow.”

"rotten to the core," the builders and the butchers: while i initially listened to this song assuming it was about a guy who sucked, it’s about seeing the world as an inherently cruel and dangerous place–which, funnily enough, i think also fits pretty well.  case in point, when he tries to justify his brutality to that prison camp official by claiming they have to have “respect.”

"bad seed sown," the bellfuries: “the kinda people hip to my kind of evil / are few and far between / it lurks, it lies, it feeds on cries / it’s sophisticated and mean.”  self explanatory.  additionally, “there won’t be omens or signs / just a smile and a line / then the swing of the axe”–betraying tuco.

"love of hate," st. john green: sad hill.  this one’s partly just vibes.  “shall die alone, without privilege of a stone” does fit nicely.

"riders in the sky," ronnie dawson: also on blondie’s, who has the johnny cash version, so i ended up using this for angel eyes.  blondie may have changed his ways, but angel eyes doesn’t, and he strikes me as the type not to stay dead and buried.  i just like the idea of him as a ghost.

"god’s gonna cut you down," johnny cash: the delicious irony of sentenza as a figure of judgment, and of him being then cut down by blondie (golden haired angel).

"the werewolf song," michael hurley: a slightly softer, sentimental take on the violence, if that makes any sense.  vibes mostly.  i wonder if he ever gets lonely.

"death don’t have no mercy (live)," hot tuna: reminds me very strongly of his intro at stevens’s place; “he comes to your house and he won’t stay long / you look in the bed and somebody will be gone.”  felt this was a good, grim note to end on, and i felt the hot tuna cover fit very well musically.

Hcs for Alberu

@elychee

Because I'm parched from the lack of fics for this fine, fine man.

- so caring. Towards his partner at the very least. He's very much in his crown prince/rude man persona with Cale and usually quite formal with the rest of the group.

- like caring? Attentive? Idk let's say you forget to have your lunch, or you're suddenly chilly. He's either 1) going to have lunch with you 2) ask the maids/butler to make lunch for you. Then for the latter he'll give you his coat, give you a warm mana stone, close the windows, or light a fire with his cool sexy magic.

- like literally, you couldn't ask for any better. He's the height of the height

- though he's very very VERY busy. You know, he's crown prince and all, he doesn't really have much time.

- but the moment he does have time, he is definitely using it with you.

- I hc him as being really curious and adventurous.

- as crown prince, he's never really had the opportunity to learn cooking for example, he was busy doing his duties (and surviving as a royal child)

- definitely into little cooking/baking dates. Would love to paint with you (will absolutely tap your shoulder to get your attention and then smudge a bit of paint on your nose).

- cooking, painting, walking together (hand in hand, pointing out different fauna and flora gOd wHEN???), definitely a cuddle bug

- he'll put a flower in your head or give you some

- definitely tthe type of guy to have a bouquet of flowers sent every day (he tries to give it in person in the morning, but if he can't he'll leave it with a note of the flowers meaning. So far you've gotten 'unconditional love' 'my everything' and stuff like that)

- haha, a little and big spoon. Pretty flexible though he definitely has a penchant for being held. Spoon him from the front, stroke his hair and whisper your love for him and he's Gone.

- and he's definitely touch starved.

- probably flinches away from touching in tte beginning on the relationship, cuz he's not really used to it (except from Tasha, but she's not always around), so it's something to gradually work into. But once he's used to it, honey you are not leaving his arms or his lips

- he's using any and I mean ANY excuse to kiss or hug you

- kiss/hug in the morning, in the evening, before and after dinner, before bath, if you're/he's leaving (even for like thirty minutes), on his breaks... you get the idea.

- he'll flash you a quick smile or he'll pout (yes, yes he will) and damn, yeah, you're a goner

- definitely runs warmer, a walking heating pack.

- he literally wears layers, my man has to be warm. So yes, you're hugging a warm (muscly, very nice muscles) bear.

- yes. Muscles. Hmmmmm his are sooo nice. Shall I rant about his muscles? I want to. Nice and firm. Really comfy though. If you watch him work out/spar, he'll fluster you on purpose, his sparring partner feels like a third wheel (except if you're the sparring partner, then honey, you are becoming a tomato)

- how tall is he?? Gimme a sec.* googles *He's 179cm. Honestly I'm pretty close to his height, but wether you're taller or shorter or the same height he'll love you anyways. If you're shorter, god you're so cute, he loves it so much. He will tease you no matter the height. Same height? Not much, but he definitely likes how he doesn't need to lean down/up. Taller? My god he is flustered. He lives for it. He LIVES for it. Will intentionally tease you.

- tease him. Yes. Do it. Even if you're shy. Do it. If he's been teasing you a while and you get a good one on him, oh man, he's a field of tomato's. Speechless, sweating, you've got him. Enjoy your tomatoberu.

- he'll love anybody no matter what they look like. Weight, height, hair or no hair, skin colour, nose, eyes, ears, piercings or tattoos, he does not CARE.

- sure, he'll have preconceived judgements when you first meet, but it's mostly based on your personality.

- once he gets to know you and actually fall in love, he'll love your everything

- interests, habits, favourite food, intolerances, health, what kind of person you are, what you think about.

- he wants to know it all. I bet that during his breaks, if he's not with you he's doing research on your hobbies to try them out himself.

- okay I want to try and talk about his type because Ely and I were talking about this (author-nim WHENNNNN)

- as aforementioned, whatever you look like or what your hobbies are, he does not careeee

- I'm talking about the type of people he'd be attracted to and the type of people he'd avoid.

- let's start

- I think if we're talking about a near love at first sight, it would be somebody calm and with a cool aura, who also isn't as 'crazy' as Cale and his group. he's got a lot of chaos in his life, so to have somebody calm and cool would definitely be a first attraction.

- if it's somebody more fun and outgoing, it'd take more time to trust you, but since it's a first meeting he'd come to slowly love that aspect of your personality. If you're chaotic like Cale and his group, he'd probably struggle at first but he'd come to love that outgoing, extravagant side of you.

- if you're really timid he won't trust you at first. To him it might be fake and you might be trying to get to him. But again, as he gets to know you, what actions you take, decisions you take, thoughts and plans, he'll come to love you and try to help you/protect you when he can. He loves it btw.

- he'd definitely fall in love with an open minded partner. I think that's an important quality to him, since dark elves are oppressed in TCF a partner who doesn't give the slightest fuck about his lineage is somebody he'd want to keep close. Like if you're racist and shit, nah my man, he won't like you at all lmao. He'll defo dislike you more than any pesky noble.

- wether you're politically inclined or not doesn't matter. Sure, he'd love to have a politically inclined partner, it'd be really helpful, but if politics aren't your forte, he's not gonna not fall in love with you. If you want to be a co-ruler by his side, you'll have to study politics though. He'll be your teacher if you want ;) (oh he'd be such a good teacher. Choose your rewards ladies, gents and fellow pirates).

- he'd go for somebody generous. Definitely. Somebody who thinks a lot about others, somebody who's thankful for what they have

- somebody who isn't really all that materialistic. Like yeah, maybe they like having stuff and buying a lot or being luxurious, but material things aren't the most important thing in their life.

- I don't think he gives a fuck about religious/spiritual inclination (or none if you're atheist) Same as your hobbies really, he'll be pretty interested and ask for more information.

-seriously, he loves learning new things. The more he gets the opportunity to learn, the more he'll take

- I think he'd be more inclined to a person with a positive outlook on life, though if you're trying to see the good in every situation he'll wonder if you've got a screw loose. If you're pretty pessimistic he won't not love you, but it won't be a first time attraction compared to the positive outlook person

- somebody caring. Not an empath to the max, though that's cool, but somebody who can try and see his point of view and care about him. He'll never admit it, I don't think he's even aware of his love for that trait, but once he realises you do care, his heart warms up. If you struggle with empathy, it won't be love at first sight, but over time he'll come to love you for it.

- somebody who'll step up to protect their loved ones. Though, if you struggle to do that, he'll totally understand (once you're in a relationship.) again, he'll be more inclined to fall I love faster with a person who's protective.

- he's also more inclined to fall in love faster with somebody who's not scared to share or voice their opinion. If you struggle, as a couple he'll hold your hand a stroke it. He'll be your rock if you struggle. And if you don't, then you have a husband In the background who's holding your drink and happily thinking 'that's my spouse' as you verbally beat people up.

- strength isn't something he's firstly attracted to, but dear god, if you're strong, that will be such a fluster for him as he slowly realises he's in love.

- somebody who remembers the little things. His favourite drink, the time he goes to bed, fav colour, food etc etc. He'll always return the favour and remember things about you.

- I think he'd love receiving acts of service and verbal love (ugh I forgot), and physical touch

- his is gift giving, quality time and physical touch.

- if you're a fellow period haver, I already have hcs

Anyways, the sweetest, coolest, sexiest man alive, I need him, I want him.

[ottiliere]

I've been following your blog for a little while now, I love your art and your long form posts are amazing, i was scrolling through your art and a cone heads song came up in my auto play and now I'm wondering what kind of music you like, sorry if this is kind of silly lol

woah... you know, I don't think I've ever gotten a "personal" ask before, hahaha. thank you for asking & thank you for the compliment! i mean my music taste is pretty eclectic (like most people's, I feel like) but my favorite artists are definitely leonard cohen, iggy pop, mark lanegan, and die Prinzen. Though, too, I really like ELO... richard o'brien... brewer & shipley... the who... spoon... cake... john cale... ween... beck... harley poe... abba... the list goes on... in all honesty I will listen to the same song on repeat dozens if not hundreds of times in a row once I find one I really like, and it would probably be easier to give you a list of songs that i've played on repeat than artists I "like" hahahaha. this is my #1 (357 times the week of february 1st):

This song is off my favorite LC album and it's one of my favorites of his. It took me a while to come around to his voice (had to microdose him for a few years) but really everything about his music is unparalleled... I recommend listening to "Everybody Knows" since that's what did it for me. enjoy having your life changed forever

8,18,28,38 for the ask game

Aub!! Thank you buddy!!

I've answered 8 and 18, but I can give you another one of my recurring dreams for 8 at least.

Unfortunately they're basically all nightmares but here's another one: My family and I get invited to a housewarming party, but the "house" is basically a spire, it's like 20 floors of single rooms all stacked on top of each other, with a staircase going up the middle. I need to make it to the top to get something--I never remember what when I wake up though--but nobody wants to follow me all the way up. My mom stops on the second floor to sit down and talk to one of my professors, who is there for some reason. Her husband stayed outside to talk to a gaggle of dads about a lawn mower. My sister stops on the 5th floor to take a nap, as that room is mostly comprised of pillows and blankets and window seats. but I keep going up and up and up, and I'm almost to the top, but then the like. 18th? (it's close to the top but never quite there) floor, the spiral staircase is interrupted, and I have to walk across the room to pick back up again, but along the wall between the staircases is a door that can't be there. It is ajar. There is something in there, and I know that if I see it, I'll die. I know it can see me, that it's looking very intently at me, and the only thing keeping me from seeing it is having paused at the exact angle I'm standing at. So I can't move, and everyone is so far below that they'd never hear me caling, and I always wake up sweaty and tense. I've literally been having that dream for years.

28. do you collect anything?

m8 I am a sucker for weird little things. I have several small antique spoons, I have a little glass egg with flowers pressed inside, I have a tiny rake, I have 1 (one) singular tiny chime. I have a tiny basket that fits one tea candle in it. Like I don't collect any of the SAME things, the spoons are the closest to that, but if I see some weird little thing in a thrift store or antique shop I will most likely pick it up. I also love old keys, and like. broken watches.

38. fave song at the moment?

entombed by deftones is the big one rn, it's scratching an itch in my brain somewhere.

[this-is-ally-and-im-confused]

10 quirks of dating Cale Makar

You shared home would constantly smell like spices (from Cale’s cooking), pine (from your candles, and warmth in general. People often comment on just how welcoming your home feels. Which leads to Cale being an avid cleaner and cooker to make it extra nice for the two of you.

Game nights are hosted at your place 9/10. Mainly because you don’t have kids, your space is so nice, and the two of you have an extreme collection of board games/drinking games/video games. No one would say anything but when Cale gets into monopoly…it gets intense. *cough* sore loser Makar *cough*

Cale prefers to be big spoon. Is he the tallest guy around? No, not by a long shot. Still, when he gets to hold you close and pressed to his chest–he feels as if he is holding and protecting his entire world.

Love language is 300% quality time or words of affirmation. He can just sit in a room with you for hours with no complaints. Or the two of you engage in sticky note “I love you” battles. Who ever can leave them in the weirder spot wins. One time Cale literally put it up on your roof above where you sleep so that you’d see it first thing when you wake up. It definitely helps on road-trips.

Cale is always the first to wake up without fail. You have never seen him use an alarm clock…he can just like “awaken” right when he wants to. Is it an omniscient power? Probably.

Never ending “kale vs. Cale” jokes. Like one time you texted your boyfriend and Natemac to grab salad ingredients before coming over. Lo and behold Nathan walks through the door carrying Cale bridal style. “Hey y/n, I picked up Cale for dinner.”

The “figure skating” part of his warm-up is not only for agility and preparation but to also make you snort-laugh. How does he look so dainty and fabulous while spinning on the ice?!?

Cale is the type to remember every single important aspect of your shared life. It's like romance trivia. He knows your mom's birthday, your favourite flower, your shoe size, your ring size ;), and ever little insignificant detail or date.

Cale secretly loves rom-coms. If the boys ever knew how often you and Cale are curled up watching “the notebook”–he’d never hear the end of it.

He also secretly loves teaching you how to do things. It makes him feel useful. He’s always teaching you how to cook things, or skate, or fish, or anything that you get to learn together.

“geez,” you scold, grabbing it out of his hand and placing it back on the counter top gently. “i’m pretty sure that’s your last one. if it breaks before it makes it into the batter, we’re screwed.” the red in his cheeks begins to pepper his face and a cheeky smile is all he replies with. you slightly open your mouth to poke at him again but you can’t bring yourself to actually do it because all you can stare at is his “mr. good lookin’ is cookin'” apron. you’re not a fashion expert by a long mile but god, it was ugly.

earlier on in the day you had contemplated buying matching couples chef’s hats, knowing the date night he had scheduled for you two involved some time in the kitchen. the avs had extended their practice, leaving you to grab all the needed supplies. however once you had texted cale pictures of your hat options while you were at the mall, you were confused (to say the least) when your phone screen read:

veggie lover boy <3

dwbi. i got something already. see you later and get home safe! i love you :)

he notices your fixated gaze and tugs at his apron. “what? you not like it? it was a last minute secret santa gift from mikko.”

“no, babe, it’s perfect,” you try to reassure, placing your hands on his chest. “i love anything that speaks truth… even though we’re technically baking right now.”

“okay, okay, we both know i cook more than i bake around here. that’s why you’re here to give me baking lessons. i need to balance out my skills,” he responds as he gestures to the setup in front of you. there wasn’t much laid out on the counter, just a wooden spoon and medium sized bowl that you had to pull from the back of cale’s pantry being the main tools needed. still, he grinned proudly at the fact that he somewhat managed to have anything to bake with in general.

“k then mr. hockey, cooking and soon-to-be baking allstar,” you announce while clapping your hands together. “let’s get to it!”

you two first met at umass based on the fact that the dining hall was not particularly blessed with the best food options. you would always greet each other as you lined up for breakfast and dinner, both agreeing that it’d be better if you made your own meals during your multiple accounts of small talk. then, once the realization came about that he had a knack for cooking and you baked, your little tradeoff began — you’d drop off breakfast in the morning at his dorm, and he’d cook dinner for you two at least three times a week to lessen your visits to the dining hall. to your surprise, one thing led onto the next and now you’re catching multiple flights a year from amherst to colorado to do more than drop off some baked goods at his doorstep.

this time around, you had only picked a simple three ingredient nutella cookie recipe knowing it was something he could whip up easily for future reference when you weren't there. as well as the fact that nutella crepes were one the first things you made for him. it was subtle, nevertheless it reminded you of the start of the relationship and has quickly grown to become one of your favourite ingredients to incorporate.

“what are you looking at?” you question as you begin mixing together the egg and nutella.

“mhm?”

you drop your hands to the side of the bowl and look up towards the boy peering over your shoulder. “you’re being extra smiley right now.” it was kind of odd for someone who had recently come home from practice, his hair still damp from the shower he took.

he huffs and grabs the loops of your pants, twirling you around so he could fully engulf you in his arms. “you are so important to me,” he lovingly answers and you can feel his thumping heartbeat against your chest. you’re taken aback by his sudden gesture but you can’t help but melt like butter once you hear him utter those words.

long distance is difficult to navigate enough and though you’re not the jealous type, it's hard to keep your emotions in check knowing there are hundreds of other girls out there chanting his name every night. cale is not the guy you can ever worry about. yet, missing him is sometimes enough to pull you into a drain of circling thoughts.

“i don’t know, just being here with you, coming home to you and baking or cooking or whatever, it feels so right. you are my favourite person in the world and i can’t picture life looking any different.”

you grab his face in your hands and smile sweetly, taking in what he had said. “cale douglas makar, you’re my favourite person in the whole world too,” is all you can come up with, and all the doubts from the countless nights without him slowly trickle away as soon as those words leave your lips.

yeah, he’s completely your’s.

9 serial comics/manga that live in my head rent-free

Thank you @yvesdot for tagging me!!!

With the exception of one, all of these are manga/manhua that I've greatly enjoyed and have read more than once (yes, even the unfinished ones).

From the top left corner going across, we have Akatsuki no Yona, Lout of the Count's family, Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne, Full Moon wo Sagashite, Who Made Me a Princess One Day, SPY x FAMILY, Fiancee's Observation Log of a Self-Proclaimed Villainess, My Dress-Up Darling, and Abandoned Empress. And because I'm extra, below the cut I'm gonna give a (very bad) explanation as to why I love them.

Tagging: honestly anyone who wants to have a go!

Akatsuki no Yona

Yona's character development is just *chef kiss* Seeing her grow not only as a person but as a princess, while on the run, is honestly so gratifying. The majority of characters are quite complex, with different goals, motivations, backstory, that all end up playing into each other. And despite the fantasy elements of four of the main characters having the powers of legendary dragons, very little of the story actually has to do with fantasy/magic. A lot of it is Yona learning what her kingdom is truly like, the people living in it, and how she could help make their lives better.

Lout of the Count's Family

Cale Henituse is so aroace. I love him. This man is literally manipulating the events of the world and gathering up as much power as possible just so he could avoid getting punched in the face. I honestly just love how little to no romance this story has. It warms my heart.

Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne

Mix Jeanne d'Arc, Kaito Kid, and heavy artistic licenses on Christianity and history, and you get this story. It's a fun magical girl manga starring a highly competent main character and an entire rivals-to-lovers subplot. That and it's written/drawn by Arina Tanemura whose works were basically my gateway into shoujo manga.

Full Moon wo Sagashite

Another work by Arina Tanemura! This one made me bawl my eyes out. It stars a young terminally ill girl who dreams of becoming a famous singer and finding her first love but only has one year left to live. She makes a deal with 2 death gods to fulfill her dreams in exchange for quietly coming with them once her year was up. It's heart-wrenching, it's beautiful, AND THE SONGS THEY INCLUDED IN THE ANIME ARE GOOD OK. Eternal Snow my beloved <3

Who Made Me a Princess

Just really, really beautiful art by Spoon and an amazing Father-Daughter story. Also every time Diana appears on screen I am swooning.

SPY x FAMILY

THE PINNACLE OF FOUND FAMILY COMEDY. You know how in Mr. and Mrs. Smith, they both had no idea that the other was an assassin? Take that plot and dial it to an entire family except for nobody (but the kid) knows and everybody is trying to figure out how to act like a Normal Family TM.

Fiancee's Observation Log of A Self-Proclaimed Villainess

An early subversion of the Villainess trope where the entire story is told from the Villainess' fiancee. It's fun, it's wholesome, Bertia is best girl. I've read this thing 3x and it never fails to make me laugh.

My Dress-Up Darling

A cosplay romance story! A girl who loves to cosplay enlists the help of a classmate who knows how to sew. I've learned so much about how much effort goes into cosplaying because of this manga, and wow I have so much more respect for cosplayers now. It features a very wholesome classmates-to-friends-to-lovers plot.

Abandoned Empress (derogatory)

But Maddie, you ask. Why put this on the list if you hate it? It's because Abandoned Empress is the equivalent of a squatter who WON'T LEAVE. I have very strong opinions on this manhua, and overall don't recommend it. It had a somewhat strong beginning but the ending absolutely ruined what goodwill I had for it. Don't recommend unless you want to be cursed with its presence.

[illusionsofdreaming]

Cale's turn with a high s / o! Maybe someone thats like 5'7-5'8 (I'm much shorter, but my dream is to reach that height. 🛐)

Notes: Y'all young ones are so lucky you can still grow smh

Ft: Cale

Cale Henituse

• despite being around the same height as Cale you'll easily look taller/stronger just because Cale is weak af

• if you wrap your arms around his neck while you kiss him, his arms would go around your waist and it's like the most perfect arrangement with neither of you needing to break your backs or necks to smooch

• oh he definitely doesn't mind being the little spoon

• waking up every morning to an entanglement of legs

• when someone drops something, you two would bend down to reach for it at the same time and always end up bumping your heads against each other

• you kind of look like siblings together but Cale isn't really the type to correct people's assumptions unless it's super rude - then yeah piss off that's his s/o

• wearing each other's clothing 👌🏻👌🏻

Showing - An Mpreg Fic by KerwynLar

Part 3 of the Porter-Cale Stories. Will make more sense if you've read Part 2.

Hugh is having a terrible morning sickness day but Nick helps him feel better.

Read it below or on AO3.

Hugh lay in bed curled in the fetal position on his side with a pillow between his knees. It was early evening and weak sunlight was pushing through the drawn curtains into the otherwise dark room. 

He squeezed his eyes shut and focused on the conference call he was listening to on his earbuds. In spite of the fact that he had already vomited three times that day, his stomach was still churning. It was one of the worst morning sickness days he’d had since getting pregnant. 

“Ok,” he said, putting all his energy into making his voice sound normal. “We’re going to go with Selena’s option. I appreciate your points, Darren, but I think the direct approach is the way to go here.” He opened his eyes to see Nick leaning against the door jam, arms crossed over his chest, watching him. Hugh gave a tiny wave and Nick half-smiled at him then went to the closet and started getting undressed. “Selena,” Hugh continued, “would you take the first draft of that letter? Then have Ralph review it and I’ll bat clean-up. Copy Missy when you send it to me, please.” He paused, listening. “Sounds good. Thanks everyone. Have a good evening.” Hugh disconnected the call and pulled the earbuds out of his ears, dropping them on the floor with a groan. 

“Did anyone you were meeting with know you were curled up in bed?” Nick asked from the walk-in closet.

“No. Achievement unlocked: I have officially mastered CEO-mode when I feel like I need to puke.”

Now changed from a suit to sweats and a t-shirt, Nick approached Hugh’s side of the bed. “Need the bucket?” 

“Nothing left to throw up,” Hugh said, more than a touch of self-pity creeping into his voice. 

Nick frowned sympathetically and perched on the edge of the bed, careful not to jostle Hugh too much. “Do you have more meetings?”

“No, this was the last thing I absolutely had to do today. I threw up on the way in this morning and haven’t stopped feeling like shit since. I had Martin reschedule everything he could.” 

“I’m sorry, baby,” Nick ran his hands through Hugh’s black curls. “Anything I can do?”

Hugh looked up at him. “Hold me?” His voice was softer, higher. Nothing like CEO-mode. “Maybe rub my belly a little?”

“Uh-oh,” Nick teased, moving to lay down behind Hugh, “you must be feeling really sick if cuddly Hugh is coming out.” 

“I always like cuddling you,” Hugh muttered as Nick spooned him. 

“Yeah, but you only ask me to hold you when you’re sick.” 

“Mmf,” was the only response Nick got as Hugh snuggled back against his chest. Nick reached over Hugh’s hip to press his hand to the swell of Hugh’s belly. He began to massage gentle circles over the firm bulge and Hugh sighed. After a minute Nick stopped massaging and splayed his palm over Hugh’s belly. 

“I think you’re getting bigger, baby.”

“Mm.”

Nick went back to rubbing but more of a side to side motion so he could feel the size of Hugh’s belly. “Maybe you’re feeling so bad because the babies are having a growth spurt.” 

“I should need food in if that’s the case, not out.”

“Maybe some food would help you settle your stomach,” Nick suggested. “When was the last time you ate?”

Hugh shrugged. “Dunno. Haven’t felt like it.” 

“Baby,” Nick sighed, “you definitely need to eat. I’m certain that’s why you’re feeling so awful.”

Hugh groaned and buried his face in the pillow.  

“We’ve got some challah.” Nick kissed his shoulder blade. “I’ll bring you some with butter.” 

Under Nick’s hand, Hugh’s stomach rumbled. 

An hour later, Hugh reclined on the couch, rubbing his belly. The slice of bread and butter had made his body realize that he really was hungry and he had snacked while Nick got dinner ready then eaten a large portion of the chicken and roasted vegetables. His stomach gurgled under his hand and he burped into his fist. Maybe a little too large. 

As if summoned by the thought, Nick appeared in the doorway of the living room, drying a baking sheet. 

“Are you feeling ok?” 

“Yeah,” Hugh smiled at him, “nice and full. I feel a lot better.” 

“Not too full?” Nick sounded skeptical. 

“Well,” Hugh drawled, “I wouldn’t say no to a belly rub. But I’m really ok.” 

“Ok,” Nick chuckled. “Let me finish up in here and then I would be more than happy to rub your belly.” 

Hugh frowned. “I’m sorry Nicky. You cooked, I should have cleaned up.” 

Nick waved him off. “You had a rough day. There’s not much to do, I’ll be back in a minute.” 

When Nick returned from the kitchen Hugh pulled the hem of his t-shirt up to his chest and made a pouty face. Nick stopped in his tracks, his eyes widening. 

“Hugh, you’re pregnant!” 

Hugh snorted. “Oh, I thought I just had major abdominal surgery for grins,” he said sarcastically. 

“No,” Nick dropped onto the couch beside him, “I mean you look pregnant. You were just looking like you had a little bit of a gut for the last week or so. But now your belly looks round.” 

Hugh looked down at himself but couldn’t see any difference. “Maybe it’s just your cooking.” 

Nick placed his hand gently on the swell of Hugh’s belly. “I mean you ate a lot, you’re probably at least a little bloated, but …” Nick trailed off and shook his head. “I don’t know, seeing your belly look pregnant just … feels different somehow.” 

Hugh felt a tendril of worry in his chest. “Good different?” he asked quietly. 

“Oh my god, baby, yes!” Nick leaned forward quickly to kiss Hugh’s lips, then deepened the kiss when Hugh started to pull away. Nick pulled away only to kiss Hugh’s forehead, and cheek, and shoulder. 

“You look amazing.” Nick smiled at him, then bent down to plant a kiss on Hugh’s exposed belly. 

Hugh sighed, relaxing. His stomach, however, chose that moment to give an audible grumble. 

Nick chuckled. “Right, right. I do believe a belly rub was requested.” He sat up and began massaging gentle circles over Hugh’s stomach. 

It felt amazing and Hugh let himself sink back against the couch cushions and close his eyes. 

He could get used to this pregnancy thing.
