benny wants to marry you sooooooo bad that it makes his fuckin’ heart squeeze. he’s never felt this way, not for anyone, so it must be right. he gets the idea the first time he gets you on his bike. you’ve known each other for two hours, but it’s long enough. he loves how you tried to be so proper and hold his belt at first then threw your arms around him at the first rev of the engine. he had done it intentionally and now your vice grip latches above his belly button. he covertly smiles. he loves your giggles. they’re adorable; all high-pitched and damn near insane from adrenaline. they turn nervous once benny rolls to a stop before a red light and says “marry me.” he doesn’t ask. he tells you wants you on the back of his bike forever as if that is more than enough explanation. but you’re laughing. do you think it’s a joke? he doesn’t get angry. he couldn’t get angry with you even if he tried. maybe you just don’t feel things the way he does, so he shakes the thought away. the light turns green and the two of you disappear into in the night. he says nothing more about it until a week later. you’re on the phone having rambled about any and everything under the sun. you told him your nails are freshly painted, bubblegum pink, your favorite, and benny can envision them so clearly in his head and fuck what he wouldn’t give to feel your hands on him. he suppresses a groan. static occupies the silence. you’re too talked out and tired now to say much more but he likes this. likes knowing you’re on the other end and safe. “wanna marry you,” benny says in one breath and you can’t place his accent. southern, maybe? “c’mon, doll.” he drawls and you can hear the crinkle of his cut corrugating at his shoulders. you think about the position he’s likely in. leaning against the door frame, maybe. “marry me.” he says and you wanna say yes, but what would your family think? fallin’ in love with a vandal? you could sense their disappointment already but you are in love. is it too soon? you don’t even really know benny, he’s so damned quiet but your soul feels something when he’s around. warm tears slip down your cheeks as you cry to him. he shushes you like he would a frightened fawn. he tells you it’s gonna be alright, promises even. you believe him. why wouldn’t you? benny waits two more weeks because by now you’ve grown closer, given him your first kiss and god, you’re precious. it’s morning and he’s watching you. your eyelashes splay over the rounds of your cheeks, pert mouth opened ever so slightly. you’d die to know you snore, ever so quietly, so benny won’t tell you. you lied to your family, told them you were spending the night with a girlfriend then hustled down the block, pressing a kiss to benny’s cheek before securing the helmet on your head (he won’t let you ride without one, damn him) and holding onto him tight. he’s happy you’re here. happy you feel safe enough to sleep in his arms and when you blink your bleary eyes open and smile so big upon seeing him, he can’t help it. “gonna get you to marry me one of these days.” he promises, brushing his bruised knuckles so gently across your cheek it feels like a kiss from a ghost. and, eventually, he does.

maybe if i end up drawing them i will add onto this post but for now I'm gonna sleep zzzz

Football is Indonesian-American but he's that one friend that's been really whitewashed/americanized over the years and he's just convinced he will never fully connect to his culture, and Chea is the opposite where they are convinced they have to learn to fit in and shed his culture to be happy where he's at.

[clovis-enthusiast]

What other Clovis ships do you enjoy? 🤗

(Other than Clovico)

AH HI YES HELLO i always forget to check for asks (and actually answer them as well. so sorry ares cabin asker one day u will get ur post... one day....)

i actually am a huge multi-shipper so the list of characters i ship clovis with is quite long! there are some i prefer and flesh out/explore way more than others for sure, but generally i think they're all very lovely 🫶

ANYWHOOZLE HERES A LIST OF ALL THE SHIPS THAT I LIKE(D) THAT I CAN THINK OF ATM!!

pollux

lou ellen blackstone (i prefer queer platonic partners for them but including anyway)

will solace (by himself or in a poly relationship with clovis AND nico)

jake mason (originated from one of my cosplayer friends apolloshalfblood who duets me as jake!!)

michael yew (originated from one of my cosplayer friends theturtleking72 who duets me as michael! i actually have a WHOLE lore/story behind this ship if anyone would like to hear abt it someday!!)

drew tanaka

mitchell

leo valdez

valentina diaz

butch walker

malcolm pace

dakota

octavian

damien white

jason grace

katie gardner

miranda gardiner (originated from a fanfic by mew-tsubaki!! note: that person also ships lacy and clovis which i do NOT condone. lacy is too young to be in a romantic relationship with clovis.)

sherman yang

nyssa barrera (originated from a fanfic by akheilos and delphin inc and inspired slightly by my cosplayer friend whatami.doing2!!)

alabaster c. torrington

piper mcclean (this was before she got together with shel so while i still like the ship, i feel cautious abt it just bc piper said she doesnt know what her sexuality is and since shes currently woth a woman, i dont want to disregard her potentially having a sexuality that woukd exclude clovis for one reason or another)

austin lake (originated from the artist baylx!!)

ethan nakamura (this is the most recent ship i got into actually! from a rlly good fic called even if you run away, you still see them in your dreams on a03 by mondtstadtlover6000)

and im probs missing a ton of others but these were the ones i could think of off the top of my head!!

(and then i also ship him with some of my own ocs :3 one is named marty diaz from the ares cabin, one is a daughter of hecate who doesn't have a name just yet, and one is a child of hecate named miles/miley!)

my personal favorites (besides clovico) are niclovill, pollovis, and (atm) ethan x clovis!!

and for reference, i hc clovis as somewhere between bi and pan but not rlly caring abt labels. also i hc him as being nonbinary/gender fluid if that adds anything to these ships lolol)

Will: Michael, what note's middle C?

Michael: *slowly walks over, grumbling, points to middle C and walks away*

*que an hour of Will flipping through a beginning piano book and playing songs*

Will: *still sitting at the cabin piano* Hey, Michael, listen to this! *Plays Rain Rain Go Away quite slowly, but doesn't miss a key* Wasn't that amazing?

Michael: *not looking up* I mean, that song's really easy. I guess it's alright for an amateur.

Will: But I am an amateur! That was better than alright since I can't play piano!

*Later with Lee*

Will: Hey, Lee! Watch this! *puts hands on keys* Wait, which is middle C again?

Lee: *points to it*

Will: Thanks *moves fingers, has pinky on middle C*

Lee: No, you need your thumb on middle C

Will: What? Why?

Lee: That's the rule.

Will: That's a dumb rule. *adjusts fingers and plays incorrectly* This is harder!

Lee: That's just because you practiced wrong.

*que Kayla getting home*

Will: Watch this!

*plays Rain Rain Go Away slowly, but correctly with the right hand position*

Austin: Cool, but watch me play Under the Sea!Look at this!

Will: *looks at music sheet, which, unlike the one he was reading, was actual score* Yeah, I can't read that.

*Kayla comes home*

Will: Kayla, watch this! *plays song again*

Kayla: Cool! Let me play! *plays same song*

Will: Oh look I can even play a song with 2 pages! Mary had a Little Lamb!

Kayla: That's one page

Will: *flips book* I meann Old McDonald, watch this! *looks down* which is middle C again?

Kayla: You knew it for the last song, figure it out

Will: Fine fine. *slowly counts from a chipped key he remembered was G and found it* Got it. Flip the page for me?

Kayla: No, you can do it

Will: But it always falls back in place when I flip it!

Kayla: I'll tuck it in, okay?

Will: Fine *plays song slowly and Kayla does as she says*

Kayla: Great, can you do Yankee Doodle?

Will: Yeah, I practiced that this morning! *flips to page, and starts to play, singing quietly, Kayla singing next to him* Could you not sing?

Kayla: You're doing it to slow.

Will: Just let me do it! *plays song with only one or two mistakes* Good job!

*later, to Lee, with Kayla in the room*

Will: And you would not believe how much of an unsupportive sibling Michael is!

Lee: *nodding along*

Kayla: I'm supportive!

Will: See, I have one supportive sibling!

*Austin walks in*

Will: Austin, did you hear how unsupportive Michael was? I only have one supportive sibling!

Austin: I never said you were bad

Will: I have to supportive siblings! *leaves the room, passes Michael, and sticks out his tongue at him*

Note: this is my real life, I was Will, Lee my mom, Michael my first younger brother, Austin my second, and Kayla my little sister. I am the only one who can't play piano, though my mother hasn't played in years. My three youngest siblings take lessons. I do not.
