image desc under readmore:
ID:
Panel one shows Tenzō having turned away from Kakashi. There's tears running down his face again, but his posture hasn't gotten tight and defensive again.
"Hah. That's a pretty big drawback," he says, half joking,
Panel two, Kakashi's arms enter the frame and grasp the edges of Tenzō's happuri. Tenzō, seemingly caught off guard, lets him do this, too surprised to even mind that Kakashi can see his tears.
"On the bright side, you have a home," Kakashi counters, "people you trust,"
"and a shiftless, good-for-nothing Captain, who's too lazy to fill out the paperwork for hospital-dodging." Kakashi says in panel three.
The image shows Kakashi smiling more convincingly, if a little apologetic, gripping Tenzō's happuri in his hand.
Panel four shows him holding Tenzō's happuri out with one hand, and Tenzō grabbing the metal sides of it with both of his own hands.
"Anyway, I'm pretty sure you're not a liability or a threat to Konoha," Kakashi says.
In the final panel of the comic, Tenzō ducks his head, looking up with one tearful eye as Kakashi reaches out. Tenzō is still gripping his happuri in his hands, close to his chest. Kakashi's back is drenched in the yellow light of the hall.
"My couch is yours, if you want to stay the night," Kakashi is saying as he ruffles Tenzō's long, now-unbound hair.

i love how cesare is eyefucking everyone on the show like if i were one of those borgia family's enemies i would've started rumors of him sleeping with not only lucrezia but also with every single member of his family and it's highkey unrealistic that they didn't

wait anakin looking at slugs fucking and telling obi-wan he wants to do that with him… he is such a weirdo he’s so gross i love him so much??? it’s so in character?? i can’t believe this is the boy obi-wan is in love with but i also can believe it??? GOD
oh anon, the person who can least believe it is obi-wan himself
and obi-wan's distraught.
not bc fuck he wants this boy (well, actually yeah that is part of it). but bc he knows that somehow anakin will find a way to do it. to do that with him. anakin will end up making them intertwine á la slugs fucking. he can feel it in his bones. and it's scary.

Did toddler Aiden do the thing where you look away for one minute and he's not there?
Henry definitely did it
Oh definitely. Both him and Henry were really curious toddlers.
You really had to keep an eye on him, he’d randomly run off if he saw something interesting.
He followed around cats. He followed around people (mostly just his family and their friends).
When he was fascinated with something, he’d sometimes stare at it very long with really big eyes. Sometimes he stared at something that even a half-fae like him shouldn’t be able to see.
He took things in his tiny hands and probably his mouth that a toddler has no business to take. Sharp objects, for example.
Just to name some things.
He could be quite the handful, sometimes. His family loved him anyway.
