25 but specifically kisses in the BLOODrain, caleb and ike
25. kisses in the rain
ELFCOMMIE TIME!!! cw for blood/blooddrain, hiding behind the cut.
“You’re sticky.”
A statement of the obvious, perhaps, given that Isaac is positively covered in blood. Which is to be expected on days like today, when the skies open and pour it out, coating every inch of the Garden with it, and while Ike resembles more of a murder scene than anything else, Caleb is nearly spotless– thanks to spending the game in the dugout.
Over the course of the season, their… concern for Ike’s Siphoning has turned to morbid fascination, and today is no exception, really.
Isaac turns to them from where he’s towelling off. “So? Hasn’t exactly stopped you before, has it?”
Caleb hums, raises a brow. “Didn’t say that. Didn’t say I minded, either.”
“No, you didn’t. So…”
Caleb sees what he’s trying to do and sidesteps it. “So, you certainly put on a show today, huh?”
And he did, draining both Nic and Margo by the bottom of the first, almost as if to prove that he could. At one point, yes, it was probably for a sense of protection–a safety net, so to speak–but it’s far past that point now.
“Maybe I did.” Ike is not a man of many words, most of the time, and today’s proving to be no exception. “Have a problem with it?”
“Again, didn’t say that.”
If anyone else was still in the dugout, they’d be getting heckled to all hell and back. Instead it’s just the two of them, charged tension pulsing through like an electric wire.
“We could put on a show too, you know.”
“Oh?”
Ike doesn’t respond, just grabs for Caleb’s hand and pulls the both of them out onto the empty field so the blood starts soaking through their pale blue shirt.
Caleb laughs before they can help it, shaking their hair out of their face. “You’re paying for my dry-cleaning, you know.”
“I can do that. Now, will you fucking kiss me already?”
Meanwhile, in another Spider-Verse.... the cast of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (in theaters now), swap voice roles in this hilarious web exclusive.
I don't get why people shit on mustaches because I am the ultimate 'stache whore. They're so fuckin' sexy. Like. A man who looks stern and intimidating in THAT kinda way??? Pull me over your knee, sir. Thank you very much.

Knives Out 3 should just be the cast of The Last Jedi but all with different accents than their normal ones and all playing wealthy douchebags. Except for Kelly Marie Tran who plays the protagonist character.
