I have this idea rattling around in my head that young (mit) Tony can NOT not cry whenever he gets really mad.
He gets angry and when he tries to yell he just you know :

🌿 im juking you though, daisuke doesnt even get a kiss, he sees the mistletoe above them and immediately sprints deadass away at mach middleschooler speed
accidental mistletoe.  i'm hella late but (ФωФ)✨️ !   @dnangelic  ♡
❛   the tradition of kissing under the mistletoe started in ancient greece, during the festival of saturnalia and later in marriage ceremonies, because of the plant's association with fertility.   ❜
—she didn't mean anything by the comment,  really.  merely an imitation of their talks in museum visits,  how he would detail the history and value of the artwork.  she thought he'd have a similar appreciation for such exposition even in a different context,  doing so the second she took notice of the mistletoe hanging overhead,  but could she have been mistaken ... ?
Tumblr media
seems like it.  the answer is plain to see,  obviously felt,  when the turn of his body away from her is enough to send chocolate locks flying from the sheer force of it.  hakuno could only blink in response,  eyes widening slightly as he blasts off  ( rather than art,  shouldn't he be in track ... )  and though  she doesn't chase after him,  fingertips press against stiff lips,  bringing the hand flat to then blow at that area.  a blown kiss  ——  because,  had he stayed a little longer,  he would've reached the part where popular belief has it that bad luck would come to those who refused a kiss under a mistletoe. 
Tumblr media
she has no strong beliefs in superstitions,  but he hadn't been able to give her his thoughts on the matter,  so ...  better safe than sorry ?   may this give him some peace of mind if he believes in that tradition ...   she'd have to apologise for blowing a kiss at him without his consent,  though.  right ...  niwa is at that tender age where just hearing the k - word is enough to make one's heart go doki doki.  she doesn't understand it,  never having felt such emotions,  but it is amusing to see.       ❛   ah,  youth ...   ❜

Tumblr media
@hyliangrace wanted a page of the Hero of Time's writings! ( still accepting! )
Tumblr media
The following is an excerpt from the personal journal of the Hero of Time, dated to the 53rd Sun of Nayru’s Tide,  3 PU ( Post Unification ). It is one of the earlier journal entries, but notably not the first, despite calling up a moment from two years ago. According to the Hero of Time, he had gone on a time-traveling adventure before approaching Zelda the day he returned. This journal entry appears to be his reflection of the adventure, though what is reprinted here is an excerpt, as stated as the whole entry is quite long. It appears to be the first time he’s reflected on being sent back by Zelda, as much of the limited language the Hero of Time had learned by this point was bent towards exploring his emotions surrounding the event. As stated earlier in this book, the Hero of Time learned how to read and write Old Hylian later in life, leading to rather simple diction when compared with writers of the time. Efforts have been made for a transliteral translation, though liberties have been taken for readability and flow.
… My thoughts inevitably drift back to them. Princess Zelda Nylea Hyrule. Sheik*. They are the one who did this to me, after all. Or maybe it was my own fault. If I had made my case better, maybe I could be remembered. They are the Princess of Destiny, do they see me struggle now? In their prophetic dreams, do they regret their choice as I bear the brunt of a world cold to achievements it cannot remember? Despite everything, I cannot allow myself to be angry with them. They bear scars I only glimpsed in our first full interaction, before they sent me back to this waking nightmare. That doesn’t help this tightness I feel when I think about it.
I remember that hill, where she told me that I was going back. No choices in the matter… Have I ever had choices? My quest was often at the behest of others. The cause of leaving the forest was the last wishes of the Deku Tree†, though I did it more to avenge him. The quest was selfishly for myself. I did much good in pursuing that evil man; everyone had called me a man by the time I slew him. Did she see a man in me, caked in all that blood? Or just a scared child of war. A war they started. Does it truly matter? I am mature beyond my years between that war and the torments of Termina. I have surely surpassed every knight in Hyrule, and I still have more time to refine that greatness. How many have slain dragons, I wonder.
I remember the strangeness of my body, returning to my ‘childhood’. How small I felt. How much smaller I felt when Navi left. Everything after that was a blur; all that was in my mind was to stop Ganondorf. The trial dragged on, but I don’t remember why. It took a full two months for that man to be convicted, though they still haven’t decided what to do with him. Pitiful man, blinded by ambition… though perhaps that is better than being paralyzed by analysis††.
I remember entering the Lost Woods¶ with a tired sense of inevitability. I soon learned what true exhaustion was, caught in that mask’s time loop. The exhaustion, the morphing of my body, the tightness in my chest seeing people suffer again and again and again and again for what seemed like years. I thought Tatl would follow me, but she returned to the side of that skull kid and… that was that. I was alone in the world again. Small, insignificant, and doomed to die haunted by what I had seen on my two journeys. I wake up screaming most nights, feeling cold no matter what the servants try for hours afterward. Impa says she’s going to speak to Granny in Kakariko to see what can be done about these night terrors. 
Despite everything, I cannot bring myself to hate the Zelda here with me. She did nothing wrong. She believes me at face value, even if she doesn’t know how to help. That’s more than almost everyone else here. It’s that Zelda, forever six years ahead of me, who I direct these feelings to. Even if it’s just childish anger...
Tumblr media
* This is one of many pieces of evidence that the Zelda of that era received Sheikah training, as the text here implies that she had an alter ego in this future the Hero of Time journeyed to named after the elusive tribe. As most of these records are penned by the Hero of Time, some scholars dispute the reliability of such records.
†The claim that the forbidden forest ( modern day Korok Forest ) had a Deku Tree so far in the past is an interesting one. While there is a Deku Tree that is reported to watch over the Master Sword, few other records of such a being in Hyrule exist and those that do are typically folkloric, relating to the fairy children of the forest. However, similar beings are also reported as existing within the foreign countries of the Republic of Labrynna and the Kingdom of Holdrum. These creatures are called ‘Maku Trees’ however, making any connection questionable at best.
††This line would eventually become quite famous, after the journal of the Hero of Time was discovered and reprinted. It is worth noting that, in most of the writings of the Hero of Time, he rarely refers to himself as an adult. He will say that is what others say of him, but rarely does he feel this. It is an interesting dynamic in his mind, as he also claims to be “barred from childhood”. A Hylian caught in time, never truly feeling he belongs to one or another.
¶This appears to be an alternative name for the forbidden forest other writers in that era referred to. Most scholars use the following to understand the world of the Hero of Time: The Lost Woods encompass the south-eastern border of Hyrule at that time, in which there are various subsections: the Kokiri Forest ( which appears to be an invention of the Hero of Time ), the Sacred Forest Meadow ( referenced elsewhere as ‘home of fairies’ ), and finally the Forest Temple ( theorized to be an old castle used by either nobility or the royal family ).

I was watching a reaction on YouTube to dune part 2 and when I looked at the comments section there were a few people saying that they didn't understand why chani was angry and felt betrayed at the end of the film, that she should have recognised that Paul's proposal was political and been OK with it. Honestly I was a bit flabbergasted because how do miss the point that badly, how do you get to the end of the movie and not understand why chani is so angry and why she feels betrayed by paul?
Like to me it's very obvious why she's rightly upset and heartbroken and it actually has little to do with paul proposing to irulan, like chani knows it's political and this isn't a jealousy thing, its what the action represents, that paul is making a play for more power. Throughout the film paul makes a series of statements or you could even call them promises that he then breaks.
The first is that he is not the mahdi and that he doesn't want to lead the fremen. He says this at least twice, the first time after his mother drinks the water of life and the second after he and chani make love. He then breaks this promise at the war council when he publicly declares himself the Lisan al gaib and says he will lead them to paradise, making himself their leader.
Speaking of when they made love, in that scene he also promised her that he would always be with her, as long as he breathed, then when he drank the water of life he risked her losing him, she went through that moment of grief and trauma when she thought he was dead. Also he couldn't guarantee before drinking the water that he would survive it, so understandably, she is angry about him taking that risk.
He also promised her that he didn't want power and then he grasped for power again and again, he took on the family atomic arsenal, he took control of the fremen fundamentalists, he made a grab for the throne of the Known Universe when he proposed to the Princess, this was the issue that chani had with paul proposing.
Finally he promised to be her equal. Right before their first kiss she tells him that here on arrakis they are equals and what they do is done for the benefit of all. His reply, his promise to her is that he would like to be her equal but come the end of the film he has placed himself in a position of power over her and her people as the Duke of Arrakis and as Emperor of the Known Universe. Not only that but by asking for the princess' hand he has placed a foreigner, another woman in a position of power and control over chani and her people. The cherry on top is that paul also then commits her people to a holy war that most definitely does not benefit them.
I think the fact that a few of these promises made were done at vulnerably open and emotional moments between them, their first kiss, after they've just made love, makes him breaking them even more painful for her. It's like it now taints those moments because now whenever she thinks back on those moments she'll be reminded of those promises he broke.
I think the situation is so much more complicated than just the man I love has proposed to another woman and now I'm smad and I think that was made really clear in the film. If a guy made you a series of promises and then broke everyone of them you'd be upset. If that same guy had found his way into your heart, if he knew how passionately you felt about your people and how much you hated this prophecy and then still embraced the role of prophet and used your people for his own gain, you'd be upset. Him proposing to another woman was the least of her concerns. Sadly I think the only promise paul does/will keep is the last one he makes her, that he'll love her as long as he breathes, but it's not enough.
And I'm saying all of this as a die hard paulxchani fan who hopes they somehow find their way back to each other.

Injured and Alone
Jake ejects on a mission for a different deployment and gets injured, and since he's on assignment and his emergency contact is his immediate CO, Mav/Dagger Squad doesnt find out and stuff, and so they lose contact with him for a couple weeks as he recovers and Mav starts to get worried but hangman comes back in contact when Mav said he would do something abt it and he scolds hangman a bit but lets it go and hangman feels smad because Mav or the daggers didn't notice he was gone, the daggers didnt notice he was gone, and they didnt really care and he still has injuries and eventually he still hangs out but with walls, but then Ice founds out in one of the mission reports and mentions it to Mav like how's Jake, is his injuries gone? And Mav is like stitches!????? And goes on to dad Jake.
The stuff I wrote below is like a word vomit mess, I kinda want to add more to it, but here is what I have for now.
---
Jake muttered a curse as he hid behind the trees. His comms were not working properly. He could barely hear anything, and he was pretty sure the enemy was able to get into the comms. 
He was stuck on enemy territory, he was grounded, no plane, lacking supplies, he had to get out. He had to march to the nearest base or else he was done for.
He turned on his comms for one last message, “This is Hangman, I’m going dark.” Afterwards he crushed the comms and left covered in dirt as he marched forward.
It took days. He fought through the wilderness. Hid from enemy patrol. Eliminated–, fought against other soldiers.
There was so much blood.
He woke up to the sound of machines beeping around him, the smell of antiseptic in the air, and the feeling of a dry-fucking throat.
What does a guy gotta do to get some water around here?
He opened up his eyes and saw a button by his bed and slowly inched his hand forward to grab and press it. His limbs felt so heavy, must be the good meds.
But hey, at least he wasn’t handcuffed to the bed. That’s a good sign, right? Meant he wasn’t being a complete incoherent shit head, or that he wasn’t in the enemy’s hands. 
Yay, progress. 
“-- The Navy thanks you for your service Lieutenant Seresin,” Jake snapped back to attention as his current CO filled him in on what happened. The older man was just droning on and on, but his limbs still felt heavy and there was a constant ache in his body. At least he could still lay in his hospital bed. “We’ll do a debrief once you're discharged. However, there is one more thing before I leave, Lieutenant.” The admiral paused as if choosing his words carefully. “It is stated in your file that your emergency contact would automatically be your current CO, which is me at the moment, is there anyone you would like me to contact, son?”
Jake paused and thought back to his last posting with the Dagger Squad. How they started having group hangouts, meals, and sleepovers during their break, continued whenever one or more of them were on leave and hanging around Miramar. He thought about how he had to drag himself up to his apartment and clean his wounds, how that would take forever, and how nice it would be to have someone– No. Most of the Daggers were on deployment last time he checked, the ones who were on leave didn’t deserve to have to deal with him. Mav is a permanent instructor in Top Gun, now, they won’t have time for him.
They were all he had and they deserved better.
“No, sir.”
It took more than a week to get himself settled in on his dingy base housing. He was at medical, flew stateside, medical again, and all that fun stuff.
He sighed as he laid down on his freshly made bed. Everything ached, his stitches felt like they were being pulled apart, and he was pretty sure he had a headache coming in. Wonderful.
He decided to open his phone to see what he missed.
He wondered if anyone messaged him.
Not really. It seems like it’s been more than a week since someone actually messaged him. And when they did it was to respond to something he sent to them. The Daggers group chat was going strong though.
He shouldn’t be surprised, they don’t even know the mission he’s been through. They don’t even know he’s back on the west coast.
But by god did it hurt that not even one of them bothered to send something in his more than 2 weeks of radio silence.
(He knew he was being irrational, they were all adults with busy lives. Hell, one of them could have been through something like he just went through and he and the others wouldn’t know. Right?)
He hissed as he disinfected his stitches and wounds, slowly wrapping them up in bandages. It’s okay, he’d be faster at doing this in a couple of days.
He felt his stomach rumble as he stared at the boiling pot of pasta. He forgot to cook earlier, well he was too tired too, and his stomach was paying for it. Maybe he should have just shelled out money for that pizza. Heck, he forgot to buy some kind of fucking sauce for the damn thing.
He’s usually too stingy to Doordash shit, but with how fatigued he felt every time he had to move, he was considering ordering groceries to be delivered at his front step.
While he was curled up in bed, everything was aching, his head feeling light. He felt his phone ping and he opened up the Dagger’s groupchat seeing the group talk about something so fucking stupid. 
He couldn’t help himself.
He roasted the shit out of them.
His phone was bombarded with notifications as his squad digitally squawked back in offense.
He smiled and put his phone down, for a minute he felt normal.
He wasn’t physically cleared for active duty, or to fly yet. He had to go through PT, training, counseling, evaluations, bla bla bla, the whole nine yards.
It was a pain, he missed being behind a stick. Missed being fast and bursting through the clouds and just watching the sky change colors.
Instead, he had to keep his feet on the ground as he went through fucking paperwork at Top Gun.
He gets surrounded by cocky-ass rookies, but he can’t school them.
It was horrible.
He looked up when he heard a knock at his door. “Hey, kid, heard we got a new Lieutenant coming to assist on base, didn’t think it was you, buddy,” Mav said smiling gently from where he leaned on Hangman’s door frame. “When did you get here?”
Hangman smirked back on the older man, slowly leaning back on his chair as he hid a wince from his stitches pulling. “Today's my third first day back at Top Gun, pops, just doing some paperwork.”
“Surprised you’re not out there flying, scared to lose to these rookies,” Mav teased sitting in front of his desk.
“Please Mav, I’m not like you, I’m here to be a good boy and not steal any multi-millionaire jets,” Hangman smirked. “At the moment at least.” Hangman said, flicking his toothpick to the side.
Maverick huffed out a laugh, “How was your last deployment, kid? I didn’t think you’d be back so soon.” Mav said, face turning serious. “Did something-?”
Hangman felt his heart clench, this is what he wanted, right? For the others to care, to notice, but why does it feel so wrong to admit-?
“Nah, Cap, I’m good, too good to be true in fact that I’m back here, now,” Hangman said leaning forward in his desk and giving Mav a disarming wink.
Mav gave him a once over, before sighing and shaking his head as he stood up. 
“Come over for dinner on Friday, some of the others are still on deployment or with their families. Heck, Bob, Fanboy, Coyote, and Bradley are on a road trip right now, they left a couple days ago, if they knew you were here they would have waited a while for you to come with them or something,” Mav said.
Jake shrugged, he knew about the road trip. He’s been back stateside for more than a week. His body would kill him if he came, though.
“Nah, it’s fine, pops, they probably already got it planned out, anyways, plus,” Hangman gave Mav a mischievous smile. “I get you all to myself for dinner, isn’t that a treat.”
Mav rolled his eyes as he walked to stand beside Jake’s chair. “Shut up, you brat, you just want to send pictures of my cooking to the squad to make them jealous,” Mav said as he ruffled his hair and slung an arm around the boy’s shoulders to pull him in a side hug. “It’s good to have you back, son.”
Jake turned his head to bury his head on the older man’s stomach for just a minute. “It’s good to be back, pops.”
“MmmMMm, this is the best fucking thing I’ve tasted in forever,” Jake groaned as he shovelled another bite of the steak. Mav was surprisingly talented behind the grill, and apparently the best mac and cheese was Ice’s personal recipe.
“I’m glad you like it, kid, make sure to eat your greens too,” Mav said smiling as he handed Jake the serving bowl of salad.
“Come on, Mav, let the boy enjoy his steak, he just came back from deployment,” Ice said grinning as he dabbed his mouth with a napkin.
Mav rolled his eyes upwards, “and people call me the irresponsible one.”
“Well, your Navy track record proceeds you.”
“As if yours is as clean as they think it is.”
“I’m better at not getting caught, also, which one of us actually remembered to do groceries this morning, love?” Ice said smirking and giving Jake a wink, making Jake remember to actually put the steak in his mouth as he watched the two banter.
It was surreal to see his Captain and the COMPACFLT in such a domestic situation.
Mav pouted and looked at Jake, “See what I have to deal with?”
Ice chuckled and gave Mav a small peck on the cheek, “You’re what I have to deal with. Forever.” Mav eyes softened at that as he intertwined their hands on the table.
“My wingman for life.”
Jake decided that he was being too nice and fake gagged, “you both our sickeningly sweet, there ain’t supposed to be anythin’ too sweet' with the steak, but you all decided to add too much sugar that ‘m growin’ cavities.” Jake said, narrowing his eyes at them.
“Too much sugar, hmm?” Ice said, raising a brow as he rested his chin on his fist. “So I suppose you don’t want the carrot cake I baked for dessert?”
Jake frowned, “Hey, hey, hey, I ain’t sayin’ that, carrot cake is good and healthy, I want some.”
Ice grinned wider, “What’s the magic word, Jacob?”
Jake rolled his eyes, “pleeaaaasseeee?” He drew out.
“Ah, ah, ah, no sass, young man,” Mav said, raising a fork at him as he stood up to presumably grab the cake.
Jake crossed his arms, “You can’t talk, Mav.”
“I can talk in my own house, kid. Remember, nobody likes a smartass.”
“Then why did Ice marry you?”
“My dashingly good looks, of course,” Mav said flashing a hollywood type smile as he grabbed the cake from the fridge.
Jake squinted, “I don’t see it.” Ice huffed out a laugh at that one as he started cutting up the cake. Jake perked up as Ice put down a big slice for him.
“Thank you, Admiral Kazansky,” Jake said, shoveling the cake in his mouth.
“What did I say about calling me admiral in my own home, son?”
“Not to do it because it makes you feel old, Ice.”
“Good job, now by the way, how are you Jake? Have your injuries healed nicely, or are they still sore?” Ice asks, for the first time looking at Jake seriously dead in the eye.
Jake froze and he felt ice go down his spine as he paused looking up at Ice wide eyed. He thought he got away with it, but of course, this is fucking Iceman, the commander of the Pacific fleet.
“Injuries? What injuries? Jake?” Mav said looking confused as he looked back and forth between the two.
Ice frowned at Mav, “You didn’t know? He didn’t tell you?”
“Tell me what, out with it, you two,” Mav sternly said.
Jake forced himself to give a small chuckle, “It’s nothing, pops, just a bit of a scuffle in my last deployment, nothing serious.”
He was in the sick-bay for more than a week.
Mav narrowed his eyes at Jake, “Uh-huh, does nothing serious cause you to be back stateside when your previous deployment was supposed to end in 3 months?”
Well, Mav didn’t make it this far for being dumb.
Jake poked down on his carrot cake, “I’m fine, pops, it’s nothin’, really.”
“Jacob Seresin, look at me.” Mav ordered, making Jake tense.
“It’s none of ya business, it’s my private file, you don’t need to know shit,” Jake growled, standing up, good mood ruined.
Jake felt his heart thump against his chest. They shouldn’t know, they can’t know. Why can’t they know? Because they’ll see you as weak. No they won’t. Yes, they will. He wanted them to be there, they can’t they won’t, stop being a bother, stop being a whiny--
“Jake, look at me,” Mav ordered again, albeit in a softer manner, Jake slowly met Mav's eyes, again. "Why didn't you tell us?" 
"I-I don't know," Jake softly admitted. 
He wanted them to find out for themselves, but he could have told them himself. He wanted them to be there sooner. And now that they know even though it's late. It was never their job to know, it was Jake’s job to communicate as a fucking adult.
“Do you really believe that we wouldn’t care?”
Jake shrugged in response. None of them noticed he wasn’t responding to messages for a couple of weeks.
Mav gave out a sigh, making Jake shrink on himself. “Is anyone helping you with taking care of your injuries, bud?”
“Nah, I’m good, pops, takes me a while, but I could figure it out on my own,” Jake said, sighing.
“You shouldn’t have too, son, come on, you need to tend to them before you go to bed, right? How about Mav will help you,” Ice said standing up. “I’ll get the first aid kit, Mav go settle Jake in the guest room.”
“That’s not necessary, sir-” Jake started, eyes wide.
“We know, but we want to help you, Jake,” Mav said gently clasping a hand on his shoulder steering him towards the room.
Jake could have fought, but he didn’t want to. He just nodded as they walked towards the room.
Mav made him sit down on the edge of the bed and ordered him to strip down to show the stitches, and Jake, too tired to argue just silently complied, unbuttoning his shirt to unveil the bandages wrapped around his torso and the patches of bruises scattered all around. 
He looked up when he heard Mav take a deep inhale of breath, seeing the pity in the old man’s eyes, making him scowl and look away. “I don’t want your pity.”
“I’m worried about you, Jake,” Mav said, softly. “Why didn’t you tell anyone?”
“How’d ya know if I told someone?”
Mav gave him a look.
“My commanding officer is my emergency contact, he was the only one who needed to know,” Jake said, running a hand through his hair. “Shit, I don’t know why I’m here, I can do this on my own–”
“At ease, Lieutenant Seresin.” Ice sternly said as he came in with a very big med kit. “Let’s clean up your wounds first, then we’ll talk, alright?”
“Unless you’re really uncomfortable with us helping you,” Mav said, looking sadly at him. “We’re not gonna force you to do anything, buddy, but it would ease our old hearts to see that you’re okay.” Mav said, forcing a smile that just looked sad.
And didn’t that make Jake’s heart clench.
“Fine,” Jake muttered, shifting forward and started removing his old bandages.
Mav gently took over, asking Jake to put his arms up so that he could get to them easier. Mav slowly removed the bandages, making sure skin wasn’t pulled, maneuvering Jake, so that his boy would be as comfortable as possible.
Ice crouched down in front of Jake and showed him the assortment of antibiotic ointments and creams, Jake nodded in consent, pointing out which ones he usually used. Ice nodded as he pulled them out and slowly moved his hand closer to Jake as he worked in tandem with Mav, both of them treating Jake with so much care.
When he let them help him, he expected it to be painful and much longer than if he had done it. That’s usually what happened anyways when he had to rely on others.
He was wrong.
They were slow, but steady, steady made their actions smooth, efficient, fast.
Ice let Jake lean forward, his forehead resting on the older man’s shoulder as the man quickly ran a hand through his hair before dabbling antibiotic cream to the wounds on his back.
Jake swore he just closed his eyes for one second.
“Buddy? Come on Jake-y, wake up for a bit, then you can go back to sleep, okay,” Mav said gently, nudging his shoulder.
Jake grumbled and felt Ice chuckle as he helped the younger man sit up, again.
“Come on, little prince, hands up, please,” Mav murmured, helping Jake into a big hoodie. “Can you change into sweatpants?”
Jake nodded as he clumsily complied, afterwards he blinked and suddenly Mav and Ice were tucking him in the guest room bed. Someone turned the lights off, and the two older men were saying their goodbyes when Jake tugged on Mav’s shirt.
“Mav? I’m sorry I didn’t tell ya, I-I don’t know why exactly I didn’t,” Jake said frowning looking up with half-lidded eyes. “W-wanted ya’ll to be there, just, hard,” Jake muttered.
He felt the bed dip beside him, a calloused hand cupping his cheek, “It’s okay, little prince, I understand, we’ll talk about it more once you rest up, okay?” 
“We’ll be there for you when you wake up, son, and we’ll always be there for you when we can,” Ice said, reaching over to stroke Jake’s hair. 
That was enough for Jake to let himself rest.
—--
("I didn't finish my carrot cake," Jake muttered against Mav's chest.
"It's okay, we still have some more, and how about Ice makes you some chocolate cake tomorrow, buddy?" Mav softly said running a hand through Jake's strands, smirking as Ice scowled at him.
“Didn’t you just bitch about how Jacob here needs his greens, and now–”
“Please, Pa?” Jake said looking up. “I mean the carrot cake is delicious and I love it, so if you’re busy, I get it–”
“No, son, I can make the cake, I’ll just have to use my husband for some logistics help, okay?” Ice said, cutting off his rant as he rubbed Jake’s back.
“I-If it’s okay with you and pops, I don’t want to be a bo-”
“You’re not a bother, plus we were already planning on making chocolate cake for a while, you just gave us an excuse to move up our plans, and have an early cheat day,” Mav said, wagging his eyebrows with a wink.
“More like permanent cheat week,” Ice mattered.)
(“Put me down as your emergency contact, please.” Mav said as he squeezed Jake tighter, to make sure the boy won’t have to see the tears building in his eyes. “Please, son.”)
(Imagine what happens once the Dagger Squad finds out what happened to Jake.)
