How would Cove feel about pegging?

Oh, like, very good about it I'd have to say lmao 👀

The first time he bottoms he's jumpy and uptight in the beginning; what little penetration he's tried on himself before getting with MC has been overwhelming and Too Much (hurts— he's been too dry, too nervous, and/or not horny in the moment but trying it for the sake of MC maybe wanting to do it that way some day n not wanting to disappoint them). But the second they start kissin' and rubbing him a little bit to loosen him up he's a whining babbling mess. Now he's jumpy and clenches and squeezes their shoulders with every tiny touch but for a different reason 💕 Probably has a hand over his eyes until they tell him to watch his hole take their cock/strap, which he really really likes,

It's actually a huge source of relaxation for him now, to let his lover take control enough for him to shut his brain off while they make the both of them feel good. I could write an essay about how much it ties into his puppyboy thing but I SWEAR that's going to get its OWN POST,

 A/N: None, hope you enjoy <3

Cove Holden:

This man will be BEGGING YOU to make him food 24/7

In every scene with him and food he's always chowing down at the speed of light, this man loves him some food

Since you're childhood best friends he'll probably know when you're starting to learn how to cook

"Yeah recently I've been really interested in learning how to cook, I've actually learned quite a bit already-"

"Do you need a taste tester?" He will have actual stars in his eyes like 🤩

If you say no at first he will keep bugging you about it until you give in, no matter how long it takes (even when you're adults he'll still ask you)

Definitely wishes you'd be the person to make his cake for his birthdays, which you obviously do because Cove deserves it

Will tear up the first couple of times, like you made a cake?? For me? On my birthday?

Once you start there's no going back. You are now obligated to make his cake for him every year. No take backsies >:(

Cove is canonically clingy as fuck, so he will be the type to hover over your shoulder and watch you

Yes he's excited for the food but he's more focused on your face as you work. The way you stick your tongue out, the narrowed focused look of your beautiful eyes, how delicately you prepare everything, the cute tiny smile that crosses your face when you do something correct-

COVE MY BOY CALM DOWN

Cove will get extremely flustered when he notices he was staring and immediately back away from you with an embarrassed squeak

You probably won't notice since you're hyper focused but if you ask him what's wrong, he'll be talking nonsense with a red face

He'd probably need to leave the room for a bit (or at least put some distance between you two, he can't mentally handle this shit)

Will always "accidentally" be around when you finish cooking

Every. Single. Time.

Bro would be sitting in the kitchen holding a fork and a knife with a fancy napkin his shirt LMAO

All jokes aside, Cove goes soft when you give him food

Even if you cook every single day he will never stop appreciating it

He's so down bad for you and your cooking :)

[geyofftherails]

Camping with Cove

This is just what I think going on a camping trip with him would be like because I miss camping 🤬🤬

You have no idea where you want to go? Say no more, Cove will pull out his journal full of campsites he's been to and wants to go to, completed with details on each site he's stayed at

Its no surprise most of them are either reserves situated near the coast, parks with huge lakes, and maybe the occasional wetland spot

Bro is terrified of water bugs

Like he can do whirligigs and water striders but anything else found in or around the water? N o

One time y'all were kayaking on this peaceful, scenic lake, but little did you know there was a praying mantis blending in with his similarly colored hair

It did not end well

You should've brought a change of clothes

Anytime y'all go camping he insists on watching the sunset with you every. single. night. (In a good way :D)

When roasting marshmallows over the fire, he always [tries to] make you some!

But its a guarantee he'll burn them

Not like a slight char but like, the thing catches on fire

With hiking, he really likes riverside trails and sometimes mountainous hikes so inclined that it almost feels like climbing

Yes, he'll carry you on his back if you get tired, it doesn't matter if you're as tall or as big as him he will carry you

He always brings some chairs out to a clearing or some sort of space near your campsite to watch the fireflies, they bring him familiarity even away from home

You don't sit for very long though cause one of you is gonna break and start trying to catch them

He likes making you flower crowns, even if there aren't any flowers nearby

You've received stick, grass, leaf, bark, and many other crowns made of natural materials

That's all for now! if anyone wants more of this or anything for that matter my messages and asks are open!

Cove Holden General Headcanons

No matter how shy he is, he asked to do your hair at least once. Even if your hair is short

He knows how to do hair since he was a kid because he liked doing his parents hair. He putted on flowers and things he though were cute on their hair and does the same for you

Also the kind of boyfriend to play with your hair. The boy would be too shy to do it if it was a kind of situationship

Likes it a lot if you play or do his hair

He has a natural grumpy face but when he see/think of mc he has a pathetic “stupid in love” expression. Just mentioning mc can cause this and everyone thinks it’s funny/sweet

Giggles, smiles, runs around, jump and stim a lot while thinking of mc

Is basically canon that he is a caretaker type of guy. Not letting his s/o sleep on the floor, being implied that he always buy them things, will carry them around if so desired, etc. So I just wanted to assure you that he will treat you like royalty and think nothing of it. Can be very annoyed and/or extremely hurt/salty if you don’t like it, depending on his warm-cold scale

People sometimes thinks he is just a puppy in form of man when they see how he act with you, and will probably tease him (sometimes you) about it

Apparently isn’t the jealous type, internally is. He just gets very grumpy and gloomy because you aren’t his property and he isn’t supposed to feel like that in his head, wich make everything worse and sometimes his protective instincts will speak more loudly and it’s just a mess in general

Luckly, he will recover quickly after being showered with affection and reassurence. Back to being your loving partner

But when he was a kid he would display his childish jealousy without a shame. Would straight up say someone was talking with you too much and add that it was bothering him while the person was right in front of you

Always have to buy or pay you something whenever you two go out. It doesn’t matter if it’s just a tiny and cheap earing you liked, he will insist in buying you the thing (his primary love language canonically is gift giving/ words of reassurence)

Is in horror anytime you talk bad about yourself. Claiming “that’s all bullshit” and holding you while peppering you with kisses. He won’t let go until you stop saying bad things about yourself, there’s still a chance he won’t let go anyways because of his cingly nature

He let his hair grow just to do headbangs while listening to rock (and to impress you)

Stopped wearing glasses because people said he was a nerd and he got insecure :( (also stopped because it was impratical if he’s sporty)

Sometimes experience intrusive thoughts about your guys relationship. He pass time with you to cope with it

If you moved far, far, faaaaaaar away in step 3 (state or abroad), you and Cove get long distance touch bracelets. It’s sweet and perfect and you two love it

the tattoos are just my hcs

Tempestuous vs temptress🐦

Synopsis: you spend far too much time with baxter, and your lovely husband attempts to talk to you about it. code word; attempts.

Warnings: angry sex, pet names, cursing, dom!reader, sub!cove, face-riding, anal sex, breast-fondling, multiple orgasms, oral (reader receiving). slight pervy!Cove. Reader is a bit sadistic ngl. Fluffy ending.

Pairings: sub!cove holden x dom!fem!reader

OG: Our life: beginnings & always.

"I'm glad you decided to come and visit us, baxter." you proclaimed, Sitting down a cup of hot chocolate in front of the man. it had been 2 hours since he'd stepped through the front door, and you were happy to welcome him with open arms. Cove, your beloved husband however, wasn't so lively about baxter being here. Don't get him wrong! he doesn't dislike baxter, in fact, him and baxter are two peas in pod. He was the wedding planner after all! but...ever since he'd walked in through the door, baxter had been acting a bit too―..Close with you.

Cove isn't the type to try and Gatekeep his wife, but the way baxter came onto you made him frustrated. the way he'd wrap an arm around your shoulder and pull you close or the way he'd grab both your hands and rub them invitingly, ignoring the rough texture of your wedding ring while Proclaiming how much he cares for you, and adding cove in at the last minute, even though it's clear he didn't want to.

And most importantly, how naive you were to all of it! assuming everything baxter did had no ill-intentions. everything he did was just what friends would do! that's why you went along with it happily. you were so air-headed and naive to the way he was acting towards you. a smile stretching across cove's face as that realization kicked in, of course you wouldn't purposely flirt with another man! He knew you inside out, since you were both 8 years old.

So why? why does his mind tell him your completely innocent to all this, but his heart doubts that. He tries to endure and suffer silently, but when baxter raises your hand and presses a kiss to your knuckles, the dam breaks.

Cove stood from his chair, in such a fast motion it slid back a little. Both you and baxter's attention turning towards him. "honey? are you alright?" you ask, separating yourself from the man, to walk up to your husband. He looked down at you, eyebrows furrowing a bit as he ignores you, walking up to baxter instead. "well, it's been great and my wife has enjoyed your stay, a little too much." The cyan expressed, muttering the end of his sentence in a uncharacteristically bitter tone.

"but me and my wife here have other things to do. so it's best you leave, Baxter." cove said, picking up the man's coat and Holding it out to him, scrunching his nose up at baxter's sly grin, he knew exactly what he was doing. "well, i see my company has been a bit of a nuisance to you, huh?" The man laughed while grabbing his coat from your husband. "i know when to leave, so I'll see you guys a little later." baxter stated, heading towards the door while you and cove trailed behind him.

"it was fun, s/o!" Bax smiled opening the door. "and hey, cove..." He called, making eye contact with your husband who was visibly holding himself back from closing the door in his friend's face. "take it easy on her, okay?" baxter turned to walk down the porch stairs, your view of him doing so blinded when cove closed the door.

"what happened?" you asked, standing in the living room. you could've sworn just 15 minutes ago everything was fine. you were all happily discussing how well the wedding was and how thankful the both of you were. But now cove was acting strange all of a sudden, it wasn't like him to kick someone out, much less baxter of all people. Had you done something wrong? Had baxter done something wrong? Was Cove tired? You stood there fidgeting with your ring as you waited for him to respond.

"i don't like how you and him got along.." Your husband responded softly which caused your eyebrows to furrow in confusion what did he mean? "Excuse me?" You asked, taking a step back when cove turned and look at you. his eyes narrowed a bit. "i..." He hesitated for just a moment. "i want to know if you were flirting.. ." He stated, somehow still keeping his voice soft. "What?" you gasp. "Cove― it's― I'd― i would never!" you sputtered much to shocked to form any genuine sentence. quickly, you came over to him to grab his arm.

"i want to believe that, but i find it hard after witnessing the two of you together for 2 hours." he frowned down at you sadly. he knew you'd never cheat. You loved cove so much, and you showed it through any way you could. you stared up at him silently. a sudden thought processing― Churning and Mixing itself in your mind, you felt a negative emotion bubbling in your chest and you couldn't quite process it, you've never felt any bad feelings towards cove.

Was it jealousy? For what reason? Maybe frustration? No, it was stronger. you scrunched your nose and furrowed your eyebrows as you came to recognize this ugly feeling.

you were angry!

not only were you angry, but you were angry at cove! So angry! The feeling building like bricks as your mind gives you awareness to your situation. Your angry at him for accusing you of liking his best friend. you grabbed his wrist, causing his sad expression to morph into shock at how tightly you grabbed him. "Honey?" "your sad cause i cheated on you huh?" "i never said―" "well allow me make it up to you!" you scowled, turning and pushing your husband onto the couch.

he sat up, looking at you. alarmed by your sudden roughness. "s/o..?" "strip, boy."

it'd been about a good 30 minutes since you'd initiated your way of 'making up' to your dear husband. although with how overstimulated he already was, it was more like a punishment, especially with the way you rode his face.

Your fingers tangling themselves into cove's pretty pale jade colored locks, pulling them every few seconds as you rubbed your wet cunt against his mouth, panting at the quick circular motion you'd set yourself. if anyone had asked; you'd shamelessly admit that you were taking your anger out on him, and you believed you had every right!

His hands gripping your thighs tightly as he tried to keep up with the way you moved your hips against his mouth, pathetically lapping at your soaked inner labia while letting out whiny gasps and whimpers. Honestly, he wasn't even sure if he was doing a good job but he ended up immediately getting his answer.

"c'mon, I'm trying so hard to atone for cheating on you, and your not even trying." you scoffed mockingly, slowing down your movements to a stop. "Maybe we should try something else, huh honey?" you fiercely recommended, while removing yourself from your current position over his face.

Cove wasn't stupid, he knew he'd made a mistake. the way you said that usually endearing nickname with such venom caused shivers up his spine.

"s/o, please listen. i didn't― Ngh!" he let out a sudden shocked cry when you came crashing down on his cock. your warm velvety walls tightly enveloping him in a way that he clearly couldn't handle. you smiled down almost mischievously as you watched your sensitive husband's composure break, Crystalline tears building on cove's bottom lashes while letting out huffy whiny breathes. "Aww poor baby, you gonna cry?" you mocked, brushing his hair from his face while watching his face's pretty contortions from how agonizingly good he felt. "no!― i―i.." he Whined, Cock Twitching from the Tightened pressure it was being surrounded with.

Usually during intimate moments like this you were kinder, gentler, you'd wait for him to get accustomed to your cunts warmth. But this time you didn't hesitate to start moving again. you Placed your hands on his chest holding him down as you begun to ride your lover almost brutally, bouncing onto his cock furiously, the way it sent sparks of pleasure through your body, the way it was sliding so deeply into your messy hole gave you the motivation to keep going with your plan. you let out a few noises, perhaps a moan here or a whimper there, but your husbands noises was really where it was at. (in your opinion atleast.)

you were focused and determined on Breaking Cove. While his blue teary eyes were Focusing on your the way your breast bounced, his eyes watching the way your pretty tits moved everytime you made any sort of movement among him. you, being so focused on his face didn't let this attention towards your breast go unnoticed and you didn't hesitate to do something about it either.

you grabbed cove's Hand and brought it to your chest, satisfied when he was at least smart enough to grope one of your Breast. "do you think I'd―..fuck!.. ever let baxter do this?" you asked clearly trying to prove a point, which was hard because of how hazy your mind was getting. "no! You woul―wouldn't!" he answered correctly, tears finally overflowing from his pretty lashes.

You could hear his voice shaking which meant he was near an orgasm which only caused you to speed up, evicting loud cries and pleas of your name from your husband while he grabbed your Waist, he was so close! So fucking close! it was the way you leaned down and bit at his bottom lip feverishly that drove him over the edgy, pretty pale dick barely having any room to Twitch inside your enclosed fleshy walls as he came for the 2nd time that night.

But you weren't done just yet, you didn't plan to stop untill you'd manage to cum at least once. You would've had at least one orgasm if it wasn't for you being so Enthralled on inflicting your anger onto Holden. he spilt his hot semen into your fluttering hole causing a sort of sticky feeling that you didn't pay attention too.

"wait― ngh! S―S/o! Stop!" cove gasped, Squirming underneath you from the feeling that took over his body when the intense pleasure that he'd felt from his previous Orgasm faded away. you payed no attention to his begs for you to stop, you were so absorbed in the feeling of his dick pushing in and out of your warm and messy hole, Hitting the sensitive spongy parts deep inside you that you Guaranteed, no PROMISED baxter couldn't reach, that any cries of overstimulation that came from Cove were given to deaf ears. "Mmh! S/o please slow down!" he begged. "S'too much! I― I can't!" he cried, tears dropping over the baseline of his eyelashes.

"Cove― wait, please baby, i just― I'm so close!" you Hazily explained, throwing your head back in feverishly Intense pleasure! he tried to use another method of getting your attention. he attached his fingers to your pretty nipple, Squeezing the bud in hopes of getting your attention which only caused you to let out a moan. While that wasn't the result he wanted, he wasn't exactly complaining― wait, yes he was.

Actually no, he wasn't. The overstimulation dying down when he felt it being replaced with a familiar feeling. fuck! He was gonna cum again! "s/o―..i―ngh! S/o!" he called your name, Rolling your pretty nipple roughly as he neared his 3rd time cumming tonight, you were gonna be the death of the poor boy if you didn't finally have a orgasm within the next 5 minutes. Your sweet husband would be lying if he denied the fact he was getting addicted to the way your soaked cunt swallowed his entire length so easily! covering his cock in your juices― or, was it his cum from earlier? Neither of you could tell to be honest.

his eyes looking down, attentively watching the way he disappeared inside you repeatedly, which was just enough to send him off his rocker. his back arching slightly when he came once again! Painting your gooey insides with his hot white semen for the 2nd time that night, you felt yourself finally on the verge of cumming for the first or second time that night, and you decided to end it off with a kiss, leaning down to catch his pretty lips with yours giving cove the chance to wrap his arms around your torso, Holding you close to him as you grinded desperately against him while he kissed you back, a subtle but helpful way to get you through the agonizingly good climax you were experiencing. After what seemed like an eternity, the feeling melted away yet either of you refused to move.

"....i'm sorry." a raspy voice whispered, making you sit up. "Huh?" you asked weakly. your husband looked up at you almost sadly. "i apologize for accusing you of flirting with baxter. i should've know you wouldn't hurt me like that." He rasped, sitting up against the couch arm. "I'm sorry as well." You replied getting off the exhausted man. "i should've sat you down and talked with you instead of exploding with anger and―..well y'know.." your voice trailed off while realizing how embarrassing it was too react the way you did to cove simply broaching his feelings to you. "...well, I'm not complaining." cove replied in a type of flushed and flustered way that made you laugh. "Stop that." you smiled. "well would you like to shower?? i feel gross." you asked, humming appreciatively when your husband agreed and kissed you on the forehead. "i love you, wife." cove reminded. "and i love you too, cove." you replied sweetly.

this was definitely one way to solve your problem.

— cove with a pregnant reader

i know a couple people wanted to see this so,, :muscle: i got u.

cove: many fears. [pregnant reader] Even More Fears.

never in your life have you seen this man worry about you more than at the beginning (and nearing the end) of your pregnancy

he's going to do whatever you want. he develops a sixth sense for knowing when you want something but don't want to ask

you want a massage? you can have a massage. you're getting really specific cravings? that's okay he'll go across town to find what you want. you're feeling sick? he's helping you to the washroom and holding any hair while rubbing your back before getting water for you. you want to take a bath together? that sounds lovely, he'll get the water running, just wait there.

doesn't let you do things especially late into your pregnancy. you need to sit him down and tell him you're still capable of functioning more than 40% of the time, albeit slower and more careful

he most Definitely calls his mom for help. like, So many times. she's never mad because It's Cove and it's so endearing how he calls about the smallest things

also his dad. cliff has spent hours on the phone with his son sharing stories and reassuring cove that he's going to be just fine

don't get me wrong though, he definitely spends a lot of time alone researching things himself. what you should be eating, any exercises that might help, how to help deal with back pain, etc.

i'm talking parenting books, youtube videos, those mommy blogs, everything

sometimes he knows things even You didn't think/know of. he takes pride in it

i don't know if you guys have seen it/know what i'm talking about but cove would do the thing where he stands behind you and lifts/holds your belly so you can rest for a little bit

the conversations you have about baby names are so...interesting. they happen sporadically when one of you sees something that inspires a name. i'm not saying poppy is a name put on the table but also yes i am?

the both of you start to shop for baby clothes and he almost breaks down in the middle of the store when he sees the shoes. he compares them to his hand and he turns to you with this look of awe/despair. "they're so small. their feet are so tiny, oh my god."

starts panicking over how he's going to handle or hold a baby over it. please help before a worker comes over to check on him

definitely gets lots of toys and At Least one outfit that says something about waves or surfing

there's a lot of evenings where you both get sappy and emotional over the thought of your future child. he talks about all the things he wants to do, how he wants to take them to the beach, how he wants to let them visit their grandparents/relatives whenever it's possible, how he's scared he'll mess up somehow

you have to remind him that parenthood isn't going to be easy, but you have each other and you'll do your best. also that he's going to be a Great dad,, look at how much he cares for you and his baby already

the first time he feels your baby kick he cries

he definitely lays and talks to your belly . it's adorable

^ one time he thought you were asleep and started rambling about how you two met and how much he loves you

whenever he comes home, no matter how long he's been gone, he says hi to you then bends down to do the same to your baby. he asks how you're doing, saying he missed both of you

he. he watches you waddle around and has to stop himself from grinning and hugging you

he tries really hard to cuddle. it doesn't matter how, he's going to figure it out because nothing will take it away from him (except maybe you getting a pregnancy pillow)

goes with you to every appointment. if for some forsaken reason he can't, 1) he's upset and 2) he makes sure to pick you up and check on you after it's over

literally so so kind and understanding of any mood swings or rough times. he's reminding you to eat and sleep, takes care of things that might be making you anxious, and is always there if you want to talk or vent and never invalidates your feelings :[ he doesn't know what you're going through, really, but he tries his absolute best to make it as easy as possible

— cove realizing that he’s in love with you

request: Yes hi, could I please get some ... cove, derek, and Baxter suddenly getting hit with the realisation that they’re in love with MC and wanna maybe spend the rest of their lives together?

a/n: Ok hi,,, I only did cove because trying to write for baxter and Derek made my motivation go “lol bye” and I felt bad that I haven’t gotten this done for you yet :( I will get to baxter’s and Derek’s as soon as I get motivated again I promise!!

© kodzurin 2022. do not plagiarize, copy, read, or any other forms of copying of my work.

❀ Cove- Realizes he’s in love with you during a movie that the two of you were watching because Miranda and Terry had recommended it. It was one of the few times recently that you could actually hangout and enjoy each other’s company since he wasn’t busy with seeing his mom or needing to be home or at work. At some point he had stopped focusing on the movie, too busy playing with one of your hands and trying not to distract you. Eventually he had gotten a bit bored and glanced down at you, smiling when he saw just how engrossed you were with the movie. Cove was glad that even though many things had changed in both of your lives, he still had you around him and he couldn’t imagine being without you. The trips to his mom’s began to be a bit shorter, just wanting to spend as much time with you as he possibly could, even if both of your parents teased him about how attached he was to you. He knew how he felt about you for a long time but he was scared to tell you anything, just in case you weren’t ready. As if you felt his gaze, you looked up, tempted to poke fun about how he wasn’t paying attention anymore and you two will more than likely quizzed on it but you stopped when he kissed your forehead and heard the soft “I love you”.

[mokuhchi-manuscripts]

oh my gosh i love your writings of cove holden 🥲🥺 may I request headcanons of cove having a s/o whos like more into autumn season esp halloween?? (vv self-indulgent but i just... cannot stand the heat in reality)

A/N: Cove during autumn….my favorite boy and my favorite season...anon ily /p ♡

CW(s): none

➸ Cove Holden

Cove Holden personally enjoys the summer above all other seasons, but he finds your love for autumn endearing. He loves the way you get excited over newly fallen leaves, and the way your face drops when a freshly raked pile is disappointingly not crunchy

He has a strong distaste for the cold, but once it starts getting a bit chillier he seldom complains because he knows how much you prefer it. He finds your love of sweaters and autumn attire adorable, and loves to see you comfortable in your element among the fiery reds and bright oranges of fall

Cove isn’t big on horror movies, so if you are, it may take some major convincing to get him to sit down and watch one with you. He’s definitely the type to mostly cover his eyes, listening for jump scares and somehow still reacting to the suspenseful music.

His favorite part of autumn is carving pumpkins with you, if you partake in that tradition. He hates the texture of the pumpkin innards, leaving you to do most of the scooping, but finds the actual process of carving out a face quite fun, even if you brandishing a knife can make him slightly nervous

Cove isn’t a large fan of hot drinks, but there’s something about you specifically making him hot chocolate or hot apple cider that’s different to him. He’ll never drink either of these drinks by himself, but if you offer it to him he seldom says no.

He also isn’t big on Halloween, but still loves to see how happy and excited you get so he’ll help you decorate and even go trick-or-treating with you or pass out candy- whichever you prefer.

If you suggest to him you do a couple costumes, he may just implode. He finds the idea very cute and quickly agrees to it. If you buy the costume he’ll browse the Halloween aisles of stores with you to find costumes and somewhat begrudgingly try things on for you (you do have to make sure the costume fits his tall frame, of course!). If you decide to make your costumes, he’ll gladly help although he isn’t an expert seamstress by any means.

The colder weather does give him extra excuses to cuddle with you though, even if the action does seem to fluster him no matter how many times you do it

some cove holden headcanons!!

ahh this is my first time trying headcanons out so yeah !! CW: hair tugging and cheek biting is mentioned

· · ─────── · ☆ · ─────── · ·

he likes to paint his nails sometimes. it’s never any crazy colors, just very basic colors

he sometimes uses his glasses as like a headband ?? like he pushes his hair back with them

he tends to sway whenever he has to stand still for a while. when he stands in line for something, he just sways slightly

his arms swing back and forth while walking. if he’s holding you hand, he’ll swing your arms

likes to use his hands to drum on stuff. he’ll have a song playing in his head and drum the beat on the nearest surface (sometimes he’ll use your body parts, like your thighs or arms)

he has a cork board full of photos of you two. they’re most from when you guys where kids, but there is a few from recent years

he’ll pat you on the head as he walks by you or give your hair a little tug (he doesn’t mind too much if you do it back to him)

he bites a specific part of his cheek when he thinks. after so many years of doing it, there’s a little indent

he doesn’t like the feeling of being “too moisturized”. he claims it’s because he feels sticky and tries to wash of the lotion if he puts too much

his phone wallpaper is a photo of you at the beach. you weren’t paying attention when he took it and he liked it so much, he set it as his wallpaper so he could see it every time he opened his phone (he just likes to see your face, even when he’s not with you)

he tugs on a few stands of his hair when he’s nervous. occasionally, he’ll squeeze the bottom of it (kinda like he’s trying to get water out)

he has plenty of pet names for you that he only really uses when he feels extra soft and nice (this includes lover, which is so rare for him to say. he uses it as your phone contact, however)

he used a nightlight until he was in late high school but justified it by saying it was easier to maneuver around his room to sneak out with a light that wasn’t too bright

he enjoys rock climbing due to all the practice he has climbing up your bedroom window

he collects mugs from the places he’s visited. he has a whole collection of them that he shares with his dad

he enjoys sleeping on the couch, for some reason. you can catch him there if he stays up all night watching a movie or something

he likes to give you flowers during the most random times. he also gives your moms bouquet’s when something major happens (ie. birthday, holiday, ect.)

he doesn’t really fold his clothes. he either shoves them into where he puts them or leaves them in the hamper and just digs through it to find clothes everyday

when it’s cold, he’ll wear socks around the house. if not, he just goes barefoot

he has the fan on in his room all the time. no matter what time of the year it is, the fan is on

that’s all i have !! please dm if you have any questions or anything <3

This is probably dirty af 💀, but how would Cove feel about the doggystyle position? (Whether he was on top or bottom)

Your mind may be in the gutter but this is the exact type of ask I love to receive lmao, keep em comin if you have any more 👌🏽

As for Cove and doggy... I feel like he's more of a face-to-face kinda guy when he's fucking. He prefers to be able to kiss u, caress your face, watch your expressions for any subtle signs of ecstasy or discomfort. So if he's topping, he can only tolerate it for so long before it starts to feel weird and he has to flip MC back around to be close to em again!

Now, if he's bottoming, he's a lot more open to it, for a few reasons 👀 Not only is he putty in their hands and willing to do whatever they say/ask, but it's also probably a lot easier for him to handle. He can hide his face, which is obviously beet-red from getting him into this position in the first place, and he thinks he can muffle his moans in the pillows. But one can easily put a stop to this by pulling his hair or holding his hands behind his back til he agrees to be good 😌 If you wanna keep him like this tho you're gonna have to find some way to kiss him while you're at it; it's a non-negotiable part of lovemaking for this man, and he'll get sub-drop n probably cry if he doesn't receive them. He doesn't mind twisting his neck a little to make it work, just keep ur lips on his <3

our life but if it was in australia

@lesbians4garfield helped me come up with these ily bby

i hope the three other australians here appreciate these, these hcs are PURELY for my own enjoyment 

cove works at boost juice, he’s a boost boy through and through (picture him in a silly little visor blending his silly little fruit while ariana grande is blasting through the speakers)

mc would either work at jb-hifi, event cinemas, aldi, or typo

lee is a supre girl who also probably works at cotton on and calls everyone darl, babes, girlie, or gorgeous, she also probably lives in sydney’s northern suburbs

lizzie works at lovisa and owns so much shitty jewelry, like her fingers are permanently stained green

cliff works at BCF, boating camping and fishing babey !!!!

derek works at rebel sport as a teen, then eventually goes on to work at platypus cause he’s big into sneakers

cove and derek are SO into handball as primary school kids and they’ve definitely played with prez Kevin Rudd, handball king himself

cliff volunteers at the sausage sizzles at voting booths

derek would die for canteen chips with chicken salt, cove just has plain salt cause he’s uncultured

kyra is western suburbs crystal mum who works at city beach OR she lives in byron bay and goes to falls festival every single year

this whole au takes place in any suburb along a body of water because that shit is prime real estate (if this was in sydney it’d be bondi, and if it was in brisbane it would be new farm)

both of cove’s parents fuckin love bushwalking and force cove to go with them ALL the time

kyra is super into spiritual bushwalking whereas cliff just LOVES the outdoors

cliff is big into camping, specifically camping anywhere that he can go surf skiing or canoeing 

cove is a big fan of the chats

cliff sends betoota advocate headlines to everyone that he knows and they get SO sick of it

as preteens cove and mc have after school dates at westfield shopping centers, real garden city shit

cove permanently smells like banana boat sunscreen

cove and mc both went to after school care together

cove volunteers at the RSPCA and with sea shepherd australia 

i really hate to say it but both cove and derek are car guys through and through

derek has a modded out subaru and cove drives the shittiest ford falcon that he probably bought for $100 cash and a slab of tinnies

cliff drives a holden commodore station wagon in a really faded silver with the fake wood down the side

cove and derek to burnouts in their shitty modded cars and they’re both driving around with a SINGLE demerit point left each

derek also has a wireless speaker in his car and he constantly gets pulled over for speeding (if he lived in brisbane DEFS on mount nebo) so when the police see his speaker he’d also get pulled up for that and that’s how he keeps losing his points

cliff is a VB apologist and drinks that shit on the daily at 7:40am

anyways i hope the few australian people here appreciate these

Daddy-kun me need money pwease 🥺

-Cove Holden Headcanons-

-he treats his fish like children and makes you learn all their names, species, and he always tells you about their personalities and the latest fish drama

-he begs you to let him get more fish

-he loves it when you play with his hair, but hates it when anyone else gets anywhere close to it

-he loves it when you cook for him, but he has some pretty fire recipes up his sleeve

-mans idea of heaven is breakfast in bed cuddled up next you with some shark documentary on

-he likes going camping with you and insists on bringing a surf board any time you'll be remotely close to a body of water

-he really wants to go fishing to see what kind of fish he can see but he always feels bad for hurting them with the hook even though they don't feel pain like we do

-if you ever make anything for him it will never leave his person

They're not very imaginative but I hope you like them!!!

Bummer Summer

Step 3 (18 y/o)

Summary: Jamie is having a hard day mentally and Cove is eager to help them out 

Words: 2100

Trigger Warning: I am basing this off of what a less severe depressive episode may look like. In this, Jamie is on medication and has been seeing a therapist for years. Cove is privy to their lows prior to this episode. If you are easily triggered by mentions of depression/ vague descriptions of dissociation please read at your own risk. And if you are feeling low and can access help, please do :)

You couldn’t quite put your finger on what had felt off when you woke up, besides the extra strong desire to stay nestled comfortably in bed. You had thought that perhaps you had just had a bit of morning laziness, that surely would pass after an hour or so of browsing on your phone. Doubt started to creep in around the 45 minute mark, and after the morning slowly crept into the afternoon, you realized that perhaps that wasn’t going to be the case after all.

The slightly bad taste in your mouth from morning breath did nothing to persuade you to get up, nor did the low rumble of your stomach or the dryness of your mouth. The idea leaving bed simply seemed like an increasingly impossible task for today.

Wanting to block out this uncomfortable realization, you pulled your covers over your head and willed yourself to fall back asleep. Mom and Ma must have been out for the day since they hadn’t been up to check on you by now. And you vaguely remembered Liz mentioning she was leaving for the day to meet up with some friends. On any other day, having the house to yourself might have been nice, but now it just felt lonely.

The staccato buzzing of your phone cut through the silence, and begrudgingly you checked to see who had texted you.

Cove:  Jamie Are you home? I haven’t seen any sign of you all day

You felt mildly bad that you didn’t have the energy to respond. But even that bit of remorse felt muted, far away somehow. With a sigh, you turned your phone off, not wanting any more potential interruptions. You closed your eyes once more, hoping to drift out of consciousness…

…

“Jamie?” A soft voice called out to you, accompanied by a series of light shakes to your shoulder, pulling you from your second nap of the day. A mop of green hair greeted you as you blearily blinked the sleep from your eyes. You felt your eyebrows pinch together in confusion, and the voice spoke again before you could ask what Cove was doing there.

“You read my messages, but didn’t reply. You never do that” Cove explained, sheepishly. It was true, you had always made time for a quick reply whenever you had gotten a message. “I got a bit anxious, so I figured I’d check on you…”

For a moment, silence filled the air once more, as you stared at one another. You could see the concern pooled in Cove’s eyes as he stared back at you. Still you found yourself at a loss and couldn’t find the words to reply.

“Did you take your meds today?” Cove asked, determined to figure out what was going on with you. His head swung to look at your desk as he spoke, searching to see if you’d taken your daily dose. His eyebrows raised slightly in alarm when he saw the day’s portion still occupied. Without a thought, he quickly crossed the room and grabbed your meds and a half open bottle of water that had been on your desk. He offered them to you, looking at you with a mixture of pleading and expectancy.

Using all of your strength, you sat up for the first time all day, gingerly taking the pills and open bottle from him. Cove smiled softly as he watched you take your meds and drain the rest of the water. He took it from you once empty and threw it in your trash can with ease before joining you on your bed

“Are you having a hard day?” He asked, and you replied with a nod. Cove’s lips parted, presumably to ask you another question, when he was cut off by a much louder groan from your stomach. After a moment of surprise he let out a little chuckle then said, “I guess that answers my next question”

You felt your face flush with embarrassment at the exchange, but were relieved to see nothing but a soft smile on Cove’s face. Of course he never would have laughed at you for something like this, but seeing him still look at you like he always had in your current state really helped any lingering unease.

“Tell you what; How about if you go get ready for the day, and I’ll go get us something to eat?” Cove suggested cheerfully. Though still muted, you felt your heart fill a bit. You could always count on him to take care of you at times like this. When you agreed, his smile grew wide.

“Up and at ‘em” he declared, hopping out of bed and offering you both of his hands to take. Allowing yourself to stretch your back first, you placed both of your hands in his and allowed him to help you out of bed. As you slowly shuffled around your room, grabbing clothes from here and there to change into, Cove offered some words of encouragement and praise. “Take as long as you need,” He said with a smile after dropping you off at the bathroom. You nodded in acknowledgement to him before closing the door.

…

You could feel a change in yourself as soon as you stepped out of the bathroom. You definitely felt lighter after cleaning up, without the feelings of shame and slight disgust weighing you down. Feeling fresh even gave you the energy to discard your old clothes in the hamper and make your bed before heading downstairs.

As promised, Cove was sitting at the kitchen table with two bags from your favorite fast food place and some tall water glasses. When he heard your padding over, he looked up from his phone and smiled. “You look great, Jamie!” he stated, with the same enthusiasm he had the night of the ORCA fundraiser. His enthusiasm brought a sheepish curve to your lips as you joined him at the table.

“I know it’s not the healthiest, but I figured you’d enjoy some comfort food” Cove rambled as he handed you your meal and one glass of water.

“Thanks” You said gratefully before digging in, not quite catching the proud expression Cove was wearing. You ate together in comfortable silence, and you had to admit it felt incredibly good to finally have a full stomach and some water in you.

The orange hue of evening sun was the first thing you had noticed once you had finally tuned into your surroundings. Your mouth opened in awe when you checked the clock in the kitchen and it read almost 7 pm.

“I can’t believe I spent the whole day in bed…” You mumbled with a mixture of disappointment and sadness. While your mental health was something that you had actively been working on improving for years, there were still days like today. Sometimes, it made you feel like all of the progress you had made had been thrown out the window.

“Hey, don’t be so hard on yourself” Cove offered, his hand reaching across the table to capture one of yours. “I’m so proud of you for getting out of bed and getting ready,” he added, determined to re-inflate your mood. He let go only to clean up after you both and refill your waters.

Having only been satisfied after watching you drink two more full glasses of water, Cove suggested you go on a walk together. Truthfully, you weren’t quite feeling up to it, but you’d felt bad rejecting the idea when you knew he was only trying to help.

The sun was almost fully set by the time you’d arrived at the beach, adding a coolness to the air and the sand. Kicking off both of your shoes, Cove offered you a hand once more. You took it, allowing him to guide you to the shore. The coolness of the water was more shocking than you thought it’d be, causing you to jump a bit at the contact. A light laugh escaped from Cove, who seemed to be enjoying himself well enough as he watched you begin regrounding with the world.

You stood still, letting your eyes close as you focused on your surroundings. Taking a deep breath, you smelled the patent saltiness of the sea. The cool waves still washed over your ankles, though their chill was less shocking to you now. The distant cries of seagulls and chirps of crickets could be heard. A light wind gently stirred your hair, slightly tickling you. And the warm hand in yours offered a calming, comfortable presence.

When you reopened your eyes, the sky had changed from hues of orange to purples and blues. You turned to Cove, your rock for the day, and drew him in for a hug. He happily accepted, giving you a tight squeeze in return, his cheek resting on the top of your head. The two of you stayed like that until you were ready to let go, and to Cove’s delight, you were beaming at him.

“Thanks for taking care of me today, Cove”

“Thank you for going along with it,” he replied cheekily, flashing you a broad smile of his own. He knew you well enough to know that sometimes it took you more than one try to accept help when it was offered to you, especially on days like today. He was genuinely thrilled that you had allowed yourself to be vulnerable with him enough to let him take care of you. “Should we head back?”

“Sure” you agreed easily, this time offering him your hand to hold as you led the way home. You walked together, hand in hand, in silence until about halfway home when a thought suddenly occurred to you.”Hey Cove… How did you get in?”

A deep flush fell over Cove’s cheeks at the question. His free hand scratched awkwardly at the back of his neck, his eyes averted from yours as he awkwardly replied, “I… may or may not have picked the lock at your window…”

“WHAT?!” You exclaimed, more surprised than upset really.

Flustered by your reaction, Cove panickily tried to explain, “The front door was locked- and I tried calling you but your phone was going straight to voicemail. Then I saw you in bed and tried to wake you but you didn’t hear me… So i just-” Cove fished out his utility knife and mimed picking your window lock.

“Sorry… Please don’t be mad” Cove pleaded, puppy dog eyes aimed straight at you. You could only shake your head ruefully at his antics.

“Maybe I should just leave my windows unlocked from now on…” you mused aloud, bringing a smile back to Cove’s. You weren’t quite sure if it was due to his lack of a punishment or because he genuinely found the idea appealing.

“Honestly, why didn’t we think of that years ago?” Cove huffed out in a laugh.

“True, it would have saved me from you waking me up in the middle of the night all the time” You teased back. By the time your joint laughter died down, you had reached the street between your houses.

“Thanks again, Cove” You said, simultaneously pulling him in for another hug.

“Anytime Jamie… I hope tomorrow’s a better day. And even if it’s not, I’ll always be right across the street” You felt your heart melt a bit at his offer, and you gave him an extra tight squeeze in response. You really had been blessed with the sweetest, and most wonderfully attentive neighbor.

“Goodnight, Jamie” Cove bid you. You did the same, finally releasing him from your embrace and made your way to your respective front doors. Of course you both looked back at another before heading inside, offering each other a smile and a wave before finally letting the door close shut.

***

Only when you were ready for bed did you recover your cell phone that you had accidentally left in bed when you made it earlier. After waiting a few minutes for it to turn back on, a series of buzzes went off in rapid succession.

Cove:  Helllooooo Earth to Jamieeeee Why didn’t you respond ? I’m going to try calling you…

Conveniently, you also had 3 missed calls

Cove:  That’s it, I’m coming over Reply if you don’t want me to Or if you do … On my way

You couldn’t help but laugh at his unreturned messages. If there was one thing you could always count on, it was definitely Cove cheering you up, you thought as you settled into bed, a smile resting firmly on your face.

General/Slightly Saucier Cove HCs 💦✨💙

☀️Gets so into imagining AUs with you that he would absolutely like, RP with you if you were into that. I can see that evolving into a webcomic or even a D&D podcast after graduation; Terry, Randy, Lee, Liz and even maybe Baxter would play over voice call!! ☀️If you have any scars or blemishes that Cove catches you worrying about/feeling insecure over, he'll use the same tactics on you that his dad did to him as a child, attempting to make it something you’re proud of and like about yourself instead

☀️Omg cannot baby you enough when you're sick. Borderline helicopter boyfriend, he'll primp your pillows, check your temp every 15 minutes, offer to make you soup or get you meds/ginger ale/tea. If you're sick for more than two days, it's doctor time and there's really no arguing with him about it! He’ll call off work himself to take you, and he does not care if he ends up getting sick right after as a result of all his pampering

☀️He's really the type of guy to wanna sit down and have an open conversation about boundaries, kinks and body terminology when the time finally comes

☀️Wants to check and double check that he won't make you uncomfortable at any point

☀️This has probably been said before, but he gets so into foreplay that it can almost get to be Too Much

☀️Eventually you just want him to rail you but he's having such a good time making you feel good and prepping you that he forgets what he's prepping you for

☀️Is the first one to tattle on you both after having sex for the first time, entirely by accident of course. He can't help it that he's glowing and smiling uncontrollably after that, now can he???

☀️Is at his proudest when he's between your legs, face a mess from having done so well for you; bonus points if you pet him and tell him just how good he was! And damn was he ever good--

☀️Do not even get me started on the TOP VOICE

☀️Even the best subs might have trouble not being at least a tad bratty, just to hear him Get Serious™ and command them around 👀 Usually just soft dom things like "I mean it, bedtime, now" or "I'm sorry but you are gonna have to eat some food!"

☀️When you first move out of your parents’ houses, into your own places or with each other, it's SO nice to have the house entirely to yourselves for once. You can stay up watching movies and making out in the living room as long as you want; and when that inevitably turns into more, you don't have to scurry off and lock yourselves in secrecy

☀️Volume also is no longer an issue for either of you, which is good, because Cove at least can get very loud, especially with encouragement 💙

☀️His favorite part about sex with you, as a demisexual, is the intimacy. Being able to worship the person he loves the most and their breathtaking body, and the fact you both have this burning need that only you can fill for each other, simply because you love each other so much

[crashing--waves]

General/Slightly Saucy Cove HCs 🌊💙✨

☀️Okay so, nervous as he may be about intimacy, Cove always goes above and beyond when prepping for your dates, “just in case”

☀️We're talking a shower right before, cologne, putting effort into the way his hair looks, deliberately wearing any clothes he knows you like (like you most definitely do with anklets for him)

☀️It’s really because he wants you to be drawn to touching and clinging to him, duh

☀️You know that moment when you're kissing or being sentimental and he suddenly gets flustered and says he was “thinking about how nice you are”???

☀️That's Cove Holden's version of 🥺👉👈🍆

☀️ Some of his nervousness surrounding sex stems from guilt over some of the things he wants to do to and with you

☀️ (He has some less than vanilla kinks that he’s ashamed to bring up like the anxious boy he is, but that’s for another post 👀)

☀️ He’d do just about anything you asked to try though, at least once. Highly doubt he’d be able to get past more than once with anything like impact play or hard degradation

☀️ Really likes to put on lofi Cali/beach beats to set the mood (��� ʰᵃᵛᵉ ᵃ ᵖˡᵃʸˡᶦˢᵗ ᶠᵒʳ ᵗʰᶦˢ)

☀️ Much more confident when slipping into topspace; he feels he has to be there to take care of you, to pleasure you, to take charge-- to be sure enough for the both of you

☀️ Willing to do roleplay scenes in the bedroom (once he gets more confident) as long as they’re all fluffy and sweet and loving. ☀️ Want a mysterious intruder to sneak into your shower? Sure, he’s just unarmed and wants to kiss you because he couldn’t help but to admire your body and find you beautiful

☀️ He doesn’t get jealous often but when he does?? The sex later that day is next level

☀️ He’s honestly possessive, but pretty relaxed about it. It takes a lot for him to perceive someone as being flirty with you and for that jealousy to kick in, but even when it does, he trusts you-- he just finds the other person disrespectful and irritating

Anyways I know there’s not much here but I just felt like I had to get my thoughts on this boy out there!! Plus it never hurts to contribute some content to this tiny lovely little fandom <3 Edit: Here is a direct link to the aforementioned playlist finally, for those that have asked!!
