What makes you think I'm gonna spoil the surprise? [ he says, watching the cocoa puff slowly ascend to the top of will's head and cover his eyes with its shadow paws. ]

[he gives him the biggest puppydog eyes he can muster




expcept then the cocoa puff is covering his face. will splutters out a laugh.]
resumed: (smile ♕ softly)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-10-14 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ there's a grin that follows, and he's rolling out his shoulders to stretch. ]

Deserved. It's your turn to babysit for a bit.
stunwhistle: (076)

[personal profile] stunwhistle 2023-10-14 08:29 am (UTC)(link)
[he would wink at him except the puff is covering his eyes]

It's not babysitting, it's coparenting.
resumed: (smile ♕ devious)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-10-14 08:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ the puff is too comfortable here, goodbye. anyway he raises an eyebrow. ]

Is that what we're calling it now?
stunwhistle: (Default)

[personal profile] stunwhistle 2023-10-14 09:13 am (UTC)(link)
That is definitely what we're calling it now.

[he chuckles, reaching up to his head to give the cocoa puff a little pat.]

See, it doesn't mind.
resumed: (neutral ♕ ohio is for lovers)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-10-14 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
Careful. If you give them too much attention now the others will be jealous when we get home. [ as if this is actually going to happen. the puff chirrups and loafs on will's head happily. ]

...you've really gotten used to them, haven't you?
stunwhistle: (098)

[personal profile] stunwhistle 2023-10-14 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
[he smiles serenely.]

Then I'll just have to give them plenty of attention when we get back.

[...but, ah. yeah.]

Mm. It's like I said before - I accept them. [he doesn't repeat exactly what he'd said before, since they have an audience. but. nico will know.] I know it's probably been frustrating waiting for me to get used to them, so - thanks. For being patient with me.
resumed: (cocoa puff ♕ i'm your dad now)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-10-14 10:36 am (UTC)(link)
I have a feeling they're going to be just as energetic when we get home as they were when they first came back with us.

[ but he looks briefly surprised before he settles again. very fond, very gay, very sweet. ]

You're doing better with trying to understand. [ it's murmured a little because they are still around an audience. ] And you know I appreciate that. Obviously they do, too.
stunwhistle: (002)

[personal profile] stunwhistle 2023-10-14 10:39 am (UTC)(link)
[with a slight note of amusement - ]

Should I take them out for walks, do you think? Work some of their energy out?

[he can go on a hike with the cooca puffs...]

I'm trying. I want to do right by you, Nico. You know that.
resumed: (neutral ♕ music to my ears)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-10-14 10:53 am (UTC)(link)
I might have to go with you if they're feeling shy and want to follow me around again. [ band of cocoa puffs.

anyway. he continues to grin at that even if he's looking away. ]


I do know that, yeah. You've been doing fine so far.
stunwhistle: (003)

[personal profile] stunwhistle 2023-10-14 11:00 am (UTC)(link)
So we could go on walks together. That sounds nice to me.

[it's nice to imagine - being back at camp, strolling around hand-in-hand while the cocoa puffs trail along behind them like smoky, shadowy ducklings.]

...good. I'm glad to hear that.
resumed: (smile ♕ fondly)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-10-14 11:12 am (UTC)(link)
We've got the whole of autumn to get them integrated. They'll probably love that.

[ someday, maybe, when they get home. but he's turning to shift and rest himself against will's shoulder while he has the puff. ]

Don't think otherwise. [ will is doing right in a lot of ways. ]
stunwhistle: (110)

[personal profile] stunwhistle 2023-10-14 11:25 am (UTC)(link)
[when they get home, yeah.

nico leans against him, and will settles. they can just fall asleep together like this, it's fine.]


I won't. [oh, he's getting kind of sleepy... his eyelids feel heavy. what time is it, anyway? are they drifting off naturally, or is this how the curfew knockkout starts?] I'll see you in the morning, Nico.
