#meanwhile the barbaloot is peeking out from under the wings

[articskele]

do you think the Once-ler ever gets cuteness aggression with Artic? Like the two of them are just talking or going for a walk and Artic kneels down to pet a barbaloot and giggles because the barbaloot is loving the affection and the Onceler is standing there internally resisting the urge to ruffle her hair or squeeze her cheeks or just do SOMETHING because she's being to cute and if Once-ler doesn't do something about it right now he is going to explode.

YES ABSOLUTELY

Not pictured is him dropping the wings and giving her a big ol squeezy hug and picking her up and spinning her around and shmushing her and!!!!! AAAAAAA <3

And Artic's a surprised but giggly mess like "what's gotten into you?" and all the Onceler can do in response is nuzzle his face into her hair muttering "you're so cuteeeeee"
