#raleigh x chuck

[driftwithme]

I think Chuck should try to land a punch on Raleigh and Raleigh should catch it and pull Chuck against him for a hug and Chuck should lose all control and sanity for a few seconds and fully grab Raleigh's shirt and kiss him hard and then come back to his senses.

In all of that, Raleigh still has Chuck's now soft hand in his and he did move to react but for some reason the kiss felt more like a blow than anything he has ever been hit with, so he's totally paralyzed as Chuck runs walks away.

Raleigh touches his mouths and licks his lips to find out there's blood there and he doesn't know who it belongs to. The phantom feel of Chuck's fingers over him won't let him rest. Raleigh has trained himself to stay calm and react accordingly to any emergency, but this????

Meanwhile Chuck was expecting a tantrum or a rage threatening to destroy it all but all he feels is at peace. It's weird, it's wrong. He fills his head with absurd notions like maybe he stole Raleigh's tranquility with the kiss. It only gets worse when Chuck passes quickly beside the gym and sees Raleigh annihilating a poor boxing bag. Oh God, he turned Raleigh violent.

I need them to feel what the other feels and be convinced it's magic or some kaiju science bullshit and never EVER consider the fact that maybe—

Maybe they just care about the other.

Maybe Chuck feels better after kissing the man he has wanted to kiss since he was a teen. Maybe he feels better to kiss a friend. Maybe he feels less lonely and it makes him feel less angry and that's the whole thing.

Maybe Raleigh is mad because he wants more or because now he notices how badly people treat Chuck. Maybe he saw the hurt in Chuck's eyes a second before he pulled away or felt the despair in the kiss and that messed him up.

God forbid, maybe they are in love.

Chuck got a pinecone for his birthday.

Meanwhile, Raleigh is really proud of himself for finding and carrying back the BESTEST gift ever to his favorite Magpie.

The Pacific Rim Bird AU continues with an obligatory birthday post for one Chuck Hansen.

Dogtags

This is my FIRST entry for the @lastdaysofwar event featuring a very cute scene I somehow created in the span of 2-3 hours while stuck at work. I hope you enjoy!!!

Summary: Raleigh has been thinking about giving Chuck one of his dogtags for awhile now. However, when he finally gets around to actually doing it, he gets more than what he bargained for. He can't say he's complaining, though.

DOGTAGS

APRIL 4TH, 2026

SYDNEY SHATTERDOME

“What’s this?” Chuck asks, staring down at the small rectangle of metal encased in a rubber silencer sitting in his palm.

They’re standing just outside the mess hall after lunch, and their friends have long since gone on ahead to get started on Jaeger reconstruction projects in the Main Bay. Raleigh had only stopped Chuck from joining them because he had something he needed to say first.

“It’s one of my tags. I wanted you to have it,” Raleigh responds, sounding as if the reason is obvious. He’s thought about this for a long while, and he knows it’s unconventional (even partially frowned upon as these tags are meant for identification purposes), but that doesn’t stop him from wanting Chuck to have a piece of his person on him at all times. 

“But why?” Chuck asks, a puzzled look in his eye as he raises them to meet Raleigh’s. 

Why, indeed? Raleigh doesn’t quite know the answer himself. Maybe it was because he wanted there to be confusion over which half of the partnership he belonged to when he was no longer around to voice it himself. Maybe he wanted their identities to be so intertwined with one another that one could not be mentioned without the other following closely behind. Maybe he wanted to share a piece of his soul, their unbreakable bond together, in tangible proof.

No matter the reason, he knew he wanted Chuck to have his tag, and he wanted to wear one of Chuck’s too, should the man be willing to offer it. 

“Because it’s a promise. I know it’s not like offering a ring, but I want to show you that I’m committed to this. That I want this to last; not just now, but for the rest of our lives. I want to be with you through the best and worst years of our lives and still stick around for more. I love you Chuck, and I want to spend my life with you,” Raleigh says, his voice thick with an emotion he can’t quite recognize in the moment, but will later realize is devotion. 

Before him, Chuck remains silent, eyes widened in surprise and his mouth slightly parted as if he wants to speak, but can’t find the words. Eventually, he does manage to gather himself but his words are not something Raleigh expects. 

“Are you asking me to marry you?” Chuck asks, each word carefully articulated as if one wrong syllable will skew the whole meaning of the question. 

It’s Raleigh’s turn to freeze up, but he’s able to shrug it off quickly, moving a hand up to rub at the back of his neck as an awkward feeling takes over. “Well, that wasn’t the plan going into this, but yeah. I guess I am,” he states, the weight of his request and the anxiousness of awaiting an answer finally starting to weigh on his chest. 

Before he’s able to even consider a rejection, Chuck surges forwards, collecting Raleigh in his arms and smashing his lips against his. Though it catches Raleigh off guard, he recovers swiftly and melts into the kiss without a second thought, his arms slipping under Chuck’s arms to rest steadfast against the man’s back. It’s not a heated thing, but there’s a passion there that seems to give Chuck’s answer for him. 

The kiss doesn’t last long, but Raleigh is still left breathless when Chuck pulls back, a huge grin on his face that always leaves Raleigh speeches as he replies, “The answer is yes, you dumb bastard.”

Suddenly, Raleigh’s smiling too and he’s leaning forward to pepper soft kisses all over Chuck’s face before finishing off the display of affection by pressing their foreheads together. Chuck steps back when Raleigh releases him and latches Raleigh’s dogtag onto his chain. Then, he snaps off his own lower tag and holds it out for Raleigh to take. 

The blond grabs it without question, pulling his own chain out from where it rests under his sweater and hooking Chuck’s tag beneath his own. It’s official then. They’re going to get married!

Raleigh can’t stop smiling as he looks down at where Chuck’s tag sits next to his in his palm. Somehow, the smile only beams brighter when he sees his tag resting resting proudly on Chuck’s chest. Perhaps, for the first time in a LONG time, he’ll be proud to show his tags off as well. He certainly isn’t going to be hiding them under his sweater anytime soon, because now he has a reason to show them off with confidence. 

He lets the tags drop down against his chest in a bold display of beaming pride while his hand seeks out one of Chuck’s. He finds him easily, and within moments their fingers are slotted together in a way that speaks to how they were meant to be. Neither of them are particularly fond of PDA, but today, Raleigh is willing to throw caution out the window so long as Chuck is right there with him. 

“Let's go. The others will be wondering about us by now. Would be a shame to make them wait any longer for the news,” Raleigh says, a grin on his face as he begins to lead Chuck down the hallway. His steps feel lighter than they have in days and he owes all of that to the love of his life and the moment they’d shared. 

“Okay. Yeah. But Raleigh?” Chuck starts.

“Yeah?” he responds as he turns back to look at Chuck.

“You still owe me a proper ring, yeah?” the ginger states cheekily, the mirth in his eyes visible even from where he trails behind Raleigh. 

Raleigh snorts. “Only if you buy me one first,” he teases back.

“Deal,” Chuck says.

Title: If You Need Me

Pairing/Characters: Chuck Hansen/Raleigh Becket main pairing and characters, no other pairings mentioned, Mako Mori and Herc Hansen briefly show up, Yancy Becket and Tendo Choi are briefly mentioned

Rating Explicit | E

Warnings/Tags: No Warnings apply

Deals a little bit with survivor's guilt, and mentions of previous hallucinations (but not described in detail)

Summary: Chuck promised a worried and overworked Mako Mori that he’d watch over her unconscious copilot when she couldn’t be there. Some unexpected misunderstandings happen. Raleigh wakes to familiar injuries and the hallucination of a man not quite his friend. Is it his damaged brain trying to give him closure? Or is it something more? An unlikely friendship blossoms into something else.

Raleigh wakes up in the Shatterdome hospital after being unconscious for two weeks following the final fight to close the breach. He sees Chuck in his room, and not realizing Chuck survived, Raleigh assumes he's hallucinating. This assumption carries on until Raleigh is discharged and, overwhelmed with emotion, Raleigh asks Chuck to stay with him. They share a bed for a while, and then their relationship progresses from a friendly one to a romantic and sexual one.

Chuck realizing that it was easier for Herc to show his feelings of protection towards Rals because he doesn't know how to bridge the gap in his relationship with Chuck.

Herc realizing Chuck was taking out on Raleigh a lot of his frustration with himself, because he thought he needed to prove to everyone that he was the best (that Chuck deserved to be loved, celebrated, that his existence meant something).

Raleigh being happy that Chuck survived on Herc's behalf, but knowing the scar it'd leave Chuck now that he survived his copilot.

Chuck crying when he tells everyone that he felt Pentecost cut their connection, so they wouldn't feel each other die in the drift.

Wishing a VERY happy 21st birthday to Chuck Hansen!!!

Raleigh got him a surprise smooch as a gift!

A Prologue

After years of thinking I didn't have the ability to write a personal fanfic, I've finally done it. Or well, I've started it.

I'm very excited to announce that I've started a Pacific Rim Chaleigh (Chuck Hansen x Raleigh Becket) based fic on Ao3.

I only have the prologue posted, right now, but the first chapter will be posted on December 11th of this year. AKA, Raleigh's birthday. I've had a wonderful beta reader in @kotekenobii who has been cheering me on since I started this project, so I'd just like to thank her for all the help in making sure this story actually gets made.

Also a big thanks to @satanindisguise for helping to keep my work relatively accurate to Pacific Rim lore.

---

Summary: The PPDC is not ready to let another attack like the Kaiju War to happen again without being prepared. This is what happens in between the first breach closing and the second breach opening.

You can read the Prologue on my Ao3
