#i love martin and haley sm

[shayberri789]

*rolls up my sleeves* if there's no fandom for technically you started it then I will BE THE ONLY ONE FUCK IT

ANYWAY I am rereading the book for the who-fucking-knows-th time since I first read it 3.5ish years ago and I have some HEADCANONS LETS GOOO

One day M goes over to Haley's early in the morning and she decides she wants pancakes. M suggests they make them and looks up a recipe. It's an absolute disaster, the first like 5 are inedible, the next 5 a mess, but they get the hang of it. By the end they're covered in chocolate and batter and giggling like schoolchildren after spending 2h together trying to make pancakes. In the end they agree it's the best they've ever had

Haley's parents have definitely adopted M as one of their own. They treat him as if he's part of the family. Haley is deeply embarrassed but M loves it. They let him sleep over whenever he wants, but he can't go in Haley's room. He'll occasionally join in on family game nights, and the Hancock's and M will play their games and go on raids together. They're all a powerful team

At one point, M has to make a hard decision and is upset. He doesn't want to go home so he goes to Haley's instead. She isn't home, but her dad is, and he gives M a hug and tells him he's proud of him. It makes M break down and cry because his dad rarely says he's proud of him, and he didn't know how badly he needed it

Afterwards he gathers up his courage and has a heart to heart with his father afterwards. Their relationship improves a bit

M's mother adores Haley. Chuck doesn't quite know what to make of her, but they eventually end up in a three hour conversation about geology and architecture

Martin and Haley attend pride together. Haley makes a new aspec friend and finally has someone who understands how she feels (more than even M and Lexi)

M goes on a family trip with his dad overseas, but Haley isn't able to come with. She promises M a real wacky adventure this time. She, Lexi and their new aspec friend end up on a road trip across the state to see an attraction and keep getting into Shenanigans - like that time Lexi got stuck in a restaurant bathroom and had to shimmy out the back window, and the three of them had to do distraction and extraction to get lexi free from the fenced off Back Area

During their senior year, one day while M and Haley are hanging out, he finds himself stupidly bored and asks Haley to tell him about her book. She ends up reading a few chapters to him and he gets hooked. Over the next couple months, Haley reads to him several books and he finds a genre he likes and begins to read more himself, for fun, and to understand Haley's interests more

The two of them spend hours either ripping stories to shreds or analysing the fuck out of it, or coming up with theories. Some of it is stupid and some has merit, but they have great fun

When it comes time for university, M decides to minor in English literature

Haley goes into poli-sci, with electives across a wide variety of subjects

She ends up in her second year doing some tutoring, and heavily encourages M to do the same because by this point she's figured our he's good at teaching and enjoys it

M decides to give it a shot and finds out she's right - he DOES like teaching

M ends up changing majors and doing a teaching degree and becomes an English teacher and maybe something else

Haley and M still have nights where they will lay together on the couch and cuddle while they watch a show, or read to each other

Haley picks up knitting. She's awful at it but DETERMINED to get better. She doesn't quite succeed, much to chagrin

Lexi on the other hand is GREAT at crochet and teaches Haley how to do it. She has more success at this

Okay that's a lot of headcanons for tonight. I'll add more later if I come up with any while I read
