#specifically. caleb

[boxeom]

Was wondering why this all seemed vaguely familiar.

[boxeom]

How I'm looking at him before I tie my hair up for the fifth time that day:

caleb has a habit of tilting his head down when you're talking to him, especially when you're standing close. it's not dramatic, just enough to catch your gaze, brows slightly raised like he’s listening to you and only you.

it's the kind of look that makes you forget what you were saying for a second.

the worst part? he doesn’t even realize he’s doing it. he'll lean an elbow on a table or rest a hand against a doorframe, letting his height naturally create that downward angle: eyes low-lidded, mouth relaxed, totally unbothered. and you'll just stare, cheeks heating up, heartbeat skipping.

and when he does know?

he tilts a little more, lowers his voice, and murmurs, “you were saying?”

yeah. he knows.

LaDS men vs Orange Peel Theory

Xavier

• "Xavier, can you peel this orange for me?"

• "Of course!"

• No hesitation, all enthusiasm to do something for his babygirl. Very good boy.

Zayne

• You don't need to say anything, just place an orange next to him, nudge it in his direction and his muscle memory will take over and he'll peel it without even realising he's doing it.

• Reliable, locked in, responds without verbal prompt. Green flag king.

Sylus

• "Sylus, can you peel this orange for me?"

• "Sure. Do you need anything else? Are you hungry? I can call the chef or if you ask nicely, I'll make something myself."

• Not very good at the actual orange peeling part, compensates by going above and beyond. Attentive, happy to serve. Husband material.

Rafayel

• Uh... So here's the thing; if you catch him in the right mood and ask in the right way... Yeah, he'll do it!

• However, this man would debone a fish for you anytime. Which is exponentially harder??

• All in all, it's a win. He's just built different. Ocean diva exclusive.

Caleb

• LMAOOOOOO

• He literally cheated death for you, of course he'll peel your fucking orange.

• . . .

• The orange might have drugs in it though, so be careful.

• Least you could ask for, really, he'd do much, much worse bigger things for you. Easy peasy. 11/10.

hate hate hate when people write previously fucked up codependent weird relationships as mellowing out completely after a year or two of being together, or, even worse, after the first kiss. like who do you think you are to make them normal. theyre going to be even worse because now there's two of them and theyre working in tandem

LADS MEN SUPPORT TRANS RIGHTS RAHHHHHHHH!!!

[patopq]

forever thinking about caleb's tower's 8th floor password being "gone, but not forgotten"

And that fucking line in "O mighty nein"

[boxeom]

"Too Deep?" (Caleb) +18

(cw. implied incest (Caleb unsurprisingly refers to himself as gege), Caleb being a little mean for once, this is smut but not nearly as explicit as I usually am, low-key (high-key) size kink, not proofread because I live on the wild side)

(u can thank @prettyboykatsuki for making me crash out to the point of blacking out and regaining consciousness having written this in one sitting...)

"Now hang on just a second," a sharp grin tugs at Caleb's face as he watches the way you pathetically try to squirm away from him. He pauses (making sure to do so while seated fully inside you), the hand that has been planted beside your head slowly gathering up your wrists and pinning them to the small of your back. Caleb leans down over you slowly. His chest presses to the sweaty and hot flesh of your back as he just barely stirs his hips down into you. His eyes darken when a broken and panicked hiccup falls from your lips. He presses his mouth to your ear.

"Where do you think you're going, huh?"

"I-I...I-I can't...!"

Long and warm fingers spread across the small of your back, the touch a subtle but comforting anchor that grounds you for just a moment. There's a tender kiss against the nape of your neck. "Does it hurt?"

"...N-No, i-it's just..."

"It's just...?" Caleb snickers as you huff, all your strength being put into throwing him the meanest glare you can muster in the moment.

"C'mon, don't be like that..." Though his voice is soft, you can't help but notice the satisfied twist that weaves through every word against your shoulder. "I can't read your mind y'know," you both know that's a lie, "gege's not gonna be able to take care of you if he doesn't know what's wrong..."

"Am I...goin' too slow?"

You bite the inside of your cheek. You shake your head softly.

"Oh, I see, I'm goin' too fast...?"

Another timid nod.

Caleb drags out a low hum as he sinks his weight into you entirely, a stupid grin on his face as your tight cunt hugs around him like you're trying to permanently make his dick part of you. You writhe under him- "Mh, that's it, huh?" He breathes into your ear, "Is gege too deep?"

"Y-Yes!" You sob into his pillow, your nails practically tearing into the dark grey case that's damp with tears and drool (a commonplace occurrence nowadays). He coos "apologetically". "Well," Caleb gives a genuine and sweet kiss to the top of your head as he moves to sit up, "we can't have that, can we?" One hand wraps around both your wrists as the other firmly plants between your shoulders and deepens the arch of your spine.

And he's too deep. You think you may actually faint.

"Just relax and let gege make you feel all better, yeah?"

[neigepomme]

sharing these thoughts again, but caleb is 300% the type of guy to go "i'm gonna kill myself" at any minor inconvenience. however, let me add to that — i also think that one of his immediate responses to outside trouble is "damn. we should kill them"

after going through your first heartbreak in high school and telling caleb about it, he replies with "we should kill him," and it makes you laugh and agree with him jokingly (he'd do it but you need him more so that stupid boy's life has been spared). he probably blabs about how you don't need that guy's attention because none of them could treat you the way you deserve, and you're fine hanging out with him for the time being.

the misandrist thoughts from him never stop — as a matter of fact, they get stronger when you start dating. he landed the girl of his dreams, and he doesn't feel worthy, but he'd rather keel over and die before letting another guy have you.

never change, caleb!!

"He was from a little town in Massachusets, if you've ever heard of that, which in those days was a colony. But he wasn't a colonist. He was proud to be Mohican, with roots deep in the land and forest. He burned with such passion, about the world... about how the people-- the people, that's how he talked-- could win this thing called freedom. Even people like him."

I wanted to design who Olrox loved,,, and mayhaps, that one of his earrings, the iconic one, being the one that belonged to his first love?

CALEB SAYING GOOD BOY HELPP

[boxeom]

Beautifully put 👌🏽

If he did actually have the whole "boy next door" thing the eng localization is trying (and failing imo) to go with, Caleb would NOT have let mc go in the storyline. I'm five hundred million percent sure he would be so fucking distraught at the thought of never seeing mc again, he would literally have thrown her in a max Fleet prison to make sure she wouldn't go anywhere. The only reason canonically that Caleb doesn't actually NEED to go to such lengths (even though he definitely would ("for your own good" he would say)) is because mc is just as possessive and dependent on him as he is on her.

Some players could barely handle Caleb as he is now, I don't think they realize how much more fucking insane he could've been if Infold didn't intertwine Caleb/mc through their sibling dynamic.

caleb and mcs relationship is fundamentally built on a mutual sense of loss and codependence. so in a universe where they are not actually raised together - i think the point of contention for them is that they don't have anything really tying them together.

in a funny way i think the incest actually makes their relationship relatively healthier because had their not been the inexplicable lifetime bond - caleb is doing everything in his power to make sure mc has no avenue of ever completely escaping him. like they're actually so much worse when that's the case. on the surface it seems more normal but the tone of the relationship is strained and caleb is way more unstable ahdsdhgbfkjas
