Happy birthday to my brother in all things polyfrogs, @atlasthemayor !!

(ID in alt and under cut)

ID: Knees up of Chowder, Nursey, and Dex standing together on a white background. Nursey, wearing a long sleeved pale mustard shirt with thumb holes, a dark blue puffy vest, a thin green scarf, and dark wash jeans, has his arms thrown around the others’ shoulders and is leaning in between them with a grin. Chowder, wearing a sharks zip up hoodie and medium wash jeans, smiles back easily, hand grasping on to Nursey’s over his chest. His mouth is open around the smile, likely in the middle of infodumping and refusing to be interrupted by surprise affection. Dex, wearing a red plaid flannel with sleeves rolled to the elbow open over a white tee shirt, light wash jeans, and an analog watch, has one hand in his pants pocket and the other gripping Nursey’s wrist. He is half turned towards Nursey, teeth bared as if going to scold him for his clinginess, but is fighting a smile and losing. /end ID

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Check Please! (Webcomic) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Chris "Chowder" Chow/William "Dex" Poindexter Characters: Chris "Chowder" Chow, William "Dex" Poindexter Additional Tags: Prompt Fill, Getting Together, hiding from authorities, First Kiss Series: Part 19 of Tumblr Fics and Prompt Fills Summary:

Dex was heavy. Chowder had known that, of course. He was used to the space Dex took up on the couch, the field of vision he blocked on the ice. Metaphorically speaking, he was aware of the volume of Dex’s concern. Chowder knew how to account for Dex.

Chowder did not know how to deal with the fact that Dex was pressed on top of him, so close their cheeks were brushing and he couldn’t even see his friend. Chowder did not know how to deal with the fact that he could feel the soft hitch in every breath Dex took. Chowder did not know how to deal with Dex’s breath ghosting over his ear.

Because Chowder did not allow himself to think about his friends in situations where they would be this close.

Performer AU and The Big Damn Kiss for ChowDex. Please.

okay so i’m doing an Orchestra AU becuase Dmitri has strong feelings about it.  dex plays trumpet, Chowder plays tuba (something about loose embouchure and braces) and they’re in rehearsal all the time together. the brass section is small so they’re pretty near each other and there’s a lot of time where they don’t play so they pass notes and make faces and by the end of the semester they can have whole conversations with just their eyebrows. so the night of their performance chowder is bouncing around, super nervous, and Dex offers him a kiss for good luck and Chowder balks and changes the subject but then he can’t stop thinking about it. all through the performance and the party after and walking back to their dorms together he’s thinking about it. and Dex took his flustered subject change as lack of interest so now it’s up to him. so he says something about, “how about a kiss goodnight instead? since i missed the lucky one?” and dex grins and gives him the first kiss to end all first kisses and says something about how he thinks this one will be just as lucky.

(NOTE: this happened during dinner with the whole gang)

(NOTE2: Bitty saw it coming a mile away)

Chowder and Nursey seem to have turned making their favorite lobster guy furiously blush into a sport

No one's keeping score, really. They just love that pretty red color ❤️❤️❤️

[atlasthemayor]

Chowder being a master at the piano sounds like a detail that could very much be canon (specially him knowing the Jaws theme LMAO)

Characterization was ON POINT here

I really enjoyed their loving banter

Thank you!!!! I LOVED IT!!!!

This sounds cool!

Ship: Polyfrogs

Number: 5

5) Your Daddy’s Son from Ragtime

Music from those hands could Catch you like a spell He could make you love him 'Fore the tune was done

There’s something mesmerizing about Chowder’s hands. The way he plays goalie is kind of eye-catching in itself, but watching him play piano is an entirely other occupation.

Privately, Dex thinks that Nursey buying a baby grand for their Denver apartment wasn’t actually the waste he’d bitched about when he was 22 and stupid and didn’t know what his NHL contract would mean in real life and didn’t know what Nursey’s royalties would come out to in the next couple years.

Privately, Dex is wondering what kind of piano he can get for their house in Maine so that Chowder has something really nice to play in the summer, too.

Nursey’s behind Dex before Dex can move out of the doorway, transfixed as he is by the magic flowing its way out of Chowder’s hands and into the room.

“I know you’re standing there,” Chowder says, still playing, fingers still flying. “There’s furniture in here, babes.”

Dex makes a kind of strangled noise, and he feels Nursey choke on air.

“Not blind, just playing,” their boyfriend adds. “I’ll stop if you keep standing there like weirdos.”

“Uh,” Nursey adds, helpful as always.

Chowder switches to the Jaws theme, which is kind of startling enough to get Nursey moving. 

Dex slides in behind Chowder instead and drapes himself over his boyfriend instead, and Nursey, after a moment, follows him. 

“Piano bench is uncomfortable for hug piles,” Chowder comments, but Dex can feel his smile against his bicep so the point is kind of moot.

“Music rings true to the soul,” Nursey mutters into Chowder’s hair, sounding half-asleep.

“Mhh-hm,” Chowder says, and shares a look with Dex, one that says you’re carrying him and also I love you so much.

“If you weren’t so good we wouldn’t have to hug you,” Dex mumbles gruffly, and Chowder laughs, bright and glad.

“Just remember we have to save our cellys for after games, now,” he tells Dex.

It’s true - since joining the NHL and playing without Nursey and Chowder, Dex has gotten an awful lot ore post-game cuddles, ostensibly to make up for the ones he missed out on in the game, but probably just because his boyfriends are cuddle monsters.

“I’m going to be a pancake, soon,” Chowder says, after a moment, so Dex hauls Nursey into his arms and carries him into their bedroom and into bed, and they all tumble in together, arms around arms and legs over legs, breath mingling and skin touching, love pressed against love.

[ID: Chowder, Dex, and Nursey sitting together on a grassy background, looking to be posing for a photo. Chowder is in the foreground, leaning in towards Dex and smiling with one hand on his own thigh and the other on Dex’s. Dex, leaning on one arm toward Chowder and tilting his face into his hair, grins at the camera. Nursey, tucked in behind Dex with one leg pulled up, has one elbow resting on his knee to place his hand on Dex’s shoulder and the other arm stretched out behind them to drape over Chowder’s shoulder. He is smiling serenely, chin resting on the hand he has in Dex’s shoulder, showing off his dimples. /end ID]

Frog piles are a must

[cryptenby]

when one stops the kiss to whisper “I’m sorry, are you sure you-” and they answer by kissing them more Chowder/dex

Dex has seen a lot of beautiful things: sunsets on late summer seas, the awe in the eyes of his favorite babies when they discover something new, tears on the cheeks of his brothers when their kids said their first words. He’s seen art, read poetry, heard music pretty enough to bring him to tears.

He still doesn’t think there’s anything more beautiful than Chris Chow.

He knows he’s been staring too long, but he has Chowder’s attention and his bright grin, and his happy chatter, and really, how can he be expected to look away? They’re sitting side by side in the Reading Room and Chowder is regaling him with some story about a crash he witnessed on campus involving two bicycles, a unicycle, and a skateboarder. Chowder snapped the whole thing when it happened but Dex doesn’t have the heart to tell him.

He laughs in appropriate places and makes thoughtful hums, and gets his fill. He notices that Chowder has freckles from the California sunshine that kissed his skin for eighteen years, he notices that Chowder’s eyelashes are long and fan his cheeks like butterfly kisses when he blinks, he notices that his eyes are a lighter brown than he initially thought they were, and that they’re already crinkling in the corners from the force of his smiles.

Dex notices that somewhere along the line, he fell in love with Chris Chow, and he realizes that another second not kissing him is a second too long.

He cups Chowder’s jaw and interrupts him, as much as he’s loath to do it, kissing him softly. His eyes are closed, but he doesn’t feel Chowder kissing back and he pulls back abruptly.

“Shit, fuck, I’m sorry, I didn’t even ask, you’re probably not even interested, oh my god,” Dex babbles, burying his face in his hands.

“Dex,” Chowder says.

“I know, okay, I’m so sorry, we can just pretend this never happened, no hard feelings.”

“Oh my God, look at me, you drama queen.”

Dex opens his eyes and Chowders cheeks hold a blush and his smile is one of the prettiest he’s given Dex yet. Dex gives a tentative smile back. “Are you sure?”

Chowder answers by leaning forward and slotting their mouths together, careful not to grin into to it too much. Dex gives him soft pecks and drinks in his breathy laughter, and thinks that this might be the most beautiful thing that he’s ever been apart of.

[movedto-dazaipositive]

Will has rough hands. He's the tallest person he knows, but he still flinches when a woman moves towards him too quickly. He doesn't let himself think about why. He doesn't let himself think about his aunt Eloise, with her summer dresses and long black hair and the hands he knows the feel of all too well, better than he ever should have.

Instead he doesn't drink at parties, watches the room to make sure no one's slipping anything into drinks. He takes care of everybody he knows the only way he knows how, swallows when he overhears Derek talk about him to Lardo, tries to learn from it and fails, tries and fails again, blows up and feels guilty later, watches out for Derek anyway, and Bitty, and Chowder, and Lauren from comp-sci and her friend Melissa; listens to Shitty even when he's too loud; fixes the Haus roof where it's leaking; tries to study in the dorms and fails because his roommate keeps making jokes about how he'd let an older woman fuck him, and the jokes make Will's head spin and his throat tighten, because he doesn't know how to say Don't do that, don't say that, it would hurt. Dex doesn't want to hurt people, but some days he doesn't know how to stop, feels more like a bruise than a person, an open wound that never scabs over. A blight. Some days he feeds stray dogs just for a fresh start and love that feels clean. Anything's cleaner than his blood, even the dirt, especially the dirt. Will plants a cherry tree behind the Haus just because he can and he wants to watch something grow in a way that doesn't rip his skin coming up.

Will calls his uncle, but not his parents. He calls Bitty over the holidays, and Chowder. He texts Ransom and Nursey. Justin helps him keep up his studying over the holidays and distracts him with talk about the new tv show he's watching. Shitty calls him, and asks gently whether Dex is okay. Yes, he says, and cuts the call right after. That is not the move of an okay person. Shitty will live. Dex will too, if only because he has a cherry tree to look after. He thinks about Chowder finding out he's dead. It hurts more than thinking about dying does.

Maybe when he goes back to Samwell he'll talk to a student counselor. Yeah, right.
