It wasn't fair.
"Ambrosius..."
It just wasn't fair.
"Love, you're being dramatic."
"You're not being dramatic enough," Ambrosius shot back, aiming a totally-not-a-pout at his -totally-not-laughing-at-him boyfriend. His not-pout deepened at Ballister trying and failing to calm down his snorting laughter
"It's really not that serious," Ballister managed to finally get out through his laughter. Ambrosius shook his head at him.
"It is that serious, Bal! This is is like, a right of passage for couples!" Ambrosius exclaimed, almost slapping Ballister with his own hoodie sleeve.
Although Ballister was the slightly shorter one of the pair his clothing was always just a little bit oversized on Ambrosius. Not enough for Ambrosius to look like he was swimming in Ballister's hoodies, just enough to look baggy on Ambrosius' frame.
He loved wearing Ballister's hoodie, of course it could never beat the real thing, but during the few days or nights were duties [a.k.a rebuilding an entire bloody society] kept them apart Ballister's hoodie felt like a warm embrace and smelled of home.
To put it in less poetic terms, wearing Ballister's clothing made Ambrosius feel safe and loved.
And he wanted to do the same with Ballister.
Too bad Ambrosius shoulders said no.
Now, Ambrosius was aware that Ballister was more broad shouldered than he was, but he figured his hoodies could stretch and they tended to sit pretty loosely on him. So when Ballister relinquished on of his hoodies to Ambrosius Ambrosius took off his own hoodie and offered it to Ballister.
It didn't fit.
It couldn't even get over Ballister's shoulders.
Ballister of course, shrugged it off, but to Ambrosius this was the height of unfairness and, "Stop laughing, Ballister!" Ambrosius said, pulling his giggling boyfriend into his arms and beginning to pepper his face in kisses. "You wanna laugh? Fine, I'll give you a reason to laugh!" Ballister shrieked in glee as he was lovingly assulted with kisses all over his face, nose, neck, hands.
"What's gotten into you today?" Ballister asked though breathless giggles. Ambrosius managed to answer him through his little kiss attack.
"You always let me steal your hoodies. You also deserve the boyfriend hoodie experience."
"Am- lover it's not your fault I have big ass shoulders."
"Still wanna see in my hoodie," Ambrosius pouted into a kiss he placed on the hollow of Ballister's neck. He felt a puff of air above him, most likely Ballister sighing.
"If it means that much to you, you ridiculous man, we can figure something out. Does seeing me in your clothes mean that much to you?"
"Immensely."
"Alright then."
The next day the couple went rifling through Ambrosius closet, surely there had to be something large enough to fit Ballister.
After what felt like hours of digging Ambrosius finally found an old, stretched out, oversized sweater he used in his teen years. Back then when Ambrosius was feeling lazy in the winter months he'd just throw on two or three sweaters instead of trying to move around in his bulky winter coat.
He looked at the sweater, then at Ballister. He grabbed his boyfriend's ankle and dragged him over, earning a yelp and a startled "AMBROSIUS!"
Without a word, and really just Ballister being an indulgent boyfriend, Ambrosius bundled Ballister into his old sweater.
He sat back to admire his handiwork.
It fit over Ballister's shoulders alright. It actually managed to look baggy on him, the sleeves entirely covered Ballister's hands and if he were standing Ambrosius imagined the hem would fall to maybe just past Ballister's mid thigh.
Suddenly, those t.v shows and movies his classmates watched where the boyfriend would just stare at his girlfriend wearing his shirt made sense.
The baggy sweater combined with Ballister's doe eyes and the blush on his face...
"Adorable." Ballister's blush deepened. "You're biased-hey!" Another shriek emerged from Ballister as Ambrosius dove to cuddle his boyfriend nuzzling his face into his lovers chest.
"Adorable, Bal. So cute. So pretty. Love you."
"Not another kiss attack!" Ballister groaned though he only laughed and reached up to hug Ambrosius closer to him.
Through the numerous kisses Ambrosius was littering him with, Ballister finally managed to ask, "So...we fair on the boyfriend hoodie thing?" Ambrosius paused in his kisses and stared down at Ballister with a cheeky grin.
"Nope!"
"Wait what-"
"Need to buy some over sized hoodies, gonna wear em for a week then put them on you!"
"Am- you are a ridiculous, silly man do you know that?" Ambrosius leaned up to place a kiss on Ballister's nose.
"I'm -you're- ridiculous, silly man."
