As time goes on, Erik finds himself falling deeper in love with the strange painter that his brother had invited over and no matter how he tried to be an ass to Hobo Heart whenever the topic of him crushing on the other was brought up, he couldn't deny that it was true : all the weird habits that he had, to the way he stared intensely at things, as if he wanted to burn the image of it into his mind permanently, along with the creepy doodling he liked to do mid-conversations....it only made him like him even more. Hell, even the coldness of his skin, the boneyness of his hands, started to grow on him to the point where he would find excuses just to touch them, denying profusely that he did it on purpose whenever Charlie made comments about how touchy Erik was getting. The worse part of it all? Hobo Heart didn't seem to mind : instead of sitting away from him or avoid him, he'd instead intertwine his fingers with the tattoo artist's own, whispering how he loved how they fit perfectly together, causing Erik to pull away quickly and retreat really quickly, not at all expecting it. Even though the unpredictability of the skull-faced lad confused Erik at times, it was one of the reasons why he stuck around him so much, even going as far as heading out to Hobo Heart's home to play Left 4 Dead 2, a game that Hobo Heart adored due to the carnival level, and relax with a horror movie and Carbonara Buldak noodles...the later which made Erik stare in absolute shock and admiration at how his crush managed to eat his noodles with an ease that he didn't have (after a lot of pain on Erik's side, it was decided that Hobo Heart would keep a stock of ramen just for him). While Erik wasn't sure exactly where all of it would lead in the end, he could see himself with the skeleton-boy who captured his heart.

there will be another rambling when the poll for the title is over, so enjoy this while we wait :33

[doomed-sarcastic-king]

*gently puts down this poll, along with a box of donuts and sweets* This is a poll to figure out the best title for my 'Erik Campbell gets to have his family still alive and get a weird looking painter that loves horror movies as a boyfriend' fic (Warning : I will be self-indulgent as hell with this, Erik is my baby, and I want Bobby to be okay too, so that comes in the form of my favorite blorbo :3 also the idea of Erik just lying to himself about even liking Hobo Heart one bit is what gives me joy at the moment, so expect that during the whole fic, dear people who come across the chaos that is my blog). All the title suggestions are from songs from the band AND ONE that I think fits all of this so well :333

While Bobby had always been the friendly type, he didn't really have many friends, besides his older brother Erik so when he asked if it would be alright to invite a friend of his over, his parents and sister were overjoyed, excited even. But not Erik. Instead of being happy for his brother, the grumpy tattoo artist felt weary : what if the friend was actually an ass? Worse than him, in fact? So out of concern for his brother, he started to ask Bobby about the guy in question, receiving frustratingly vague answers of 'oh, he's really nice, not really talkative though', 'he's a bit shy but will start warming up if he feel's comfortable', nothing that gave him insight on just exactly how that friend was.

While the others where happily preparing everything, Erik for his part was coming up with a way to get the so called friend to fuck off, muttering a few curses to himself after when he heard his mother greet the newcomer a bit too warmly for his liking but just as he dropped what he was doing to be an ass to the guy, he instead froze, staring at what he could only describe as the Grim Reaper's love child : Bobby's friend was tall and lanky, messy white hair that seemed to rebel against all hairbrushes, a white skeletal tattoo that went from his face as a half-skull down to his neck, fingers, and (purely guesswork from him at this point) down his chest and ending to his toes. But what made Erik too stunned to speak was the way that those blue eyes bore into his with an intensity that made his mouth go dry, making him shake his head to break the spell and ask who was the walking Halloween fanatic, which made Bobby whisper to Erik to be nice. It wasn't his intent to be nice, no, he wanted to let the guy know to not push his luck but to his surprise, the friend didn't seem to mind : the white-haired lad instead chuckled, introducing himself as Hobo Heart before offering his hand for a handshakes, which Erik reluctantly did before pulling away quickly, feeling a bit bothered by the coldness and bony-ess of it that made him feel as if he was near a corpse. Despite Hobo Heart's oddness, Erik couldn't help but openly stare at him a few times, quickly looking away whenever he was noticed before eavesdropping on their conversation, intrigued that the guy liked metal and was about to ask what other music he liked, only for his cousin Charlie to comment on how Erik didn't say one snarky comment after the introduction, jokingly hinting at a possible crush. Mortified and seething, Erik retorted that he was just trying to be welcoming, which made the other chuckle, saying a 'whatever helps you sleep at night, I guess' under his breath while Hobo Heart smiled at him, telling him that he sees why Bobby looks up to his older brother so much, adding that if the family was this nice and friendly, he might just stop by more often. The combination of that smile and those words stunned Erik, making him stammer out an excuse to leave momentarily to go back inside, slumping against the wall as he yelled out a resounding 'fuck', groaning as he realized that he was now crushing on his brother's friend, and that it could only turn bad.

*bangs head in Final Destination : Bloodlines might drive me to write a thing with my favorite blorbo in it just to have an excuse for all of them to be ok* Fuck my stupid baka life!! And double fuck Erik Campbell for making my brain come up with awesome scenes!!! *sobs*

Erik ditching a family event because his crush says that he's going back home to watch horror movies and Erik doesn't want to admit that he just wants a reason to be near him so he tells him that he'll be his teddy bear if he gets scared, only to find himself staying the night instead of leaving after three movies, turning it into a movie marathon until he falls asleep, waking up to a tired but happy Hobo Heart making him breakfast.... someone stop me from writing this, I beg!!! Pleeeeeasse!! *sobs even harder*

*plops it down and scurries away*

For funsies and because I need cute, fun things to write to get me back into writing, would you prefer a thing where Love of the Endless! Hobo Heart is smoll and just goes through his days like normal, even goes to the Dreaming with Daniel, or goes with Dream to see Hob at his work? Or a beach moment between Priest! Hob, Human! Dream and Demon! Hobo Heart, Dark Poet! Hobo Heart having a good time with his husbands, Grumpy Siren! Hobo Heart spending time with his dears ooooorrrr....

Vampire Lady! Dream doting on her precious boy with her husband? Let me know in the replies what you prefer, you can even make a suggestion :3

After having his first real sleep as an immortal like Hob, Dream had woken up to the sight of his little brother Love, now very small and floating in his now far too big robe, smiling brightly at him.

With an amused chuckle at both the absurdity and the cuteness of it, the former Endless picked up his brother, wrapping his robe around himself while discreetly changing the lad's bandages : he didn't know if his brother would react well to the hole in his own chest in his state, the last thing that he wanted was to cause unnecessary distress to the small entity, so after he was done, he started to use a sock puppet to entertain him, the joyful giggles that left the other's black heart-shaped lips brought a smile out of Dream. He didn't realize just how much he had missed that sound, a reminder of simpler times and he had been so caught up into it that he barely noticed Hob's presence, until he saw Hobo Heart giggle at the man while pointing at him, prompting the ravenette to explain that he had just found him like this and was unaware of what exactly caused it. Shaking his head with a small sigh at the full on giggling Love, Hob made the suggestion of going out shopping to find the little one something more comfortable to wear and a plushie for him to hug.

In no time at all, the three arrived at the mall, with a both curious and scared Hobo Heart clinging to Dream, looking around with his pupils going from small to very big really quickly before going to their normal shaped when his older brother picked him up, holding him close as they picked out a cute heart patterned pajama with matching slippers and a bunny plush that had mismatched eyes and a blue heart on his chest, perfect for Love of the Endless

(enjoy this little short story preview of later events, along with Smoll Love of the Endless! Hobo Heart and his little bunny plush :3 yes, there will be a lot Smoll Love later on in the story : he's just so cute and precious)

[doomed-sarcastic-king]

The urge to just make an Hob husbandverse out of Underneath Love's Moon later on to make up for the evil that is my poll, while having Dream decide to retire and become immortal without all the crying and sobbing...fuck it, I'm doing it : Hob will get many spouses as an apology from me for all my evils, while Dream retires normally and becomes immortal. And as a bonus, Love of the Endless! Hobo Heart will be small more often after the first time that Hob sees him like this for both comfort reasons and because it's cute.

So Hob not only gets to not be the only immortal in the household, he also gets Daniel, who comes visit when he's not too busy in the Dreaming but will show up super quick if he senses that Hob, Dream or Hobo Heart need him, he'll also have more love in the form of the other Endless i'm very sorry for that evil poll, truly : it was very hot at work that day, the noises unbearable, my coworker's nonsense and ruining of the pizza's making me awful :( *gives pats to everyone to make up for it* Will Hob ever bring smoll Love to work sometimes? Oh yes, it would be so cute! Summer is my evil season, i fear

[doomed-sarcastic-king]

ma how do i flirt with boys

Being direct helps. Like for example when I first met your father I asked him "You ever spit in someone's drink or does a girl need to pay extra for that?"

That worked pretty damn well.

Men in general, tend to completely miss hints. You gotta be clear about your intentions, lest he thinks you're just being friendly. Laying it on thick has worked well for me.

But not too thick, it helps to test the waters, little hints to things here and there, and once you see something that gets a response, lean in heavily to it.

Okay gang, click here for your randomly assigned season one sandman spouse.

After his small visit at his own club, the 'Sunshine and Gloom Duo' was all that Dream could think about : at that point, he knew that he had to do all that he could to have them both by his side.

The issue, however, was that Hobo Heart had been guarded around him, behaving almost like a wounded animal, ready to bite if he dared approach the younger man, something that brought out the caring, protective side out of the greying ravenette, which lead him to make a decision that would either go in his favor or explode in his face and while the risk was there, he had nothing to loose. So it was on the two buns' day off that he sent them an invitation to his favorite high-class night club, with a note telling them to wear whatever they felt like and while the brown-haired lad looked stunning in his booty shorts and cropped top, the gloomier bun on the other hand seemed determined to kill Dream, for he was wearing a strapless leather-bikini top with small cups, a cropped mesh-top above it, ripped stockings that made the ravenette's mouth go dry and a long skirt, slit at both sides, with long boots : the perfect all black attire that made it clear to Dream that the cutie wasn't going to be a good boy for him that easily, but that was made it a lot more fun for him anyway.

Taking the time to admire the two pretty things in front of him, the greying-raven haired man laid down his cards on the table, explaining to them that what he was looking for was two lovely boys to spoil with gifts, adorable outfits, money and affection. The words that left Dream's lips left Hob wide eyed in surprise, looking for a sign that the ravenette was joking around but all that he found was a sincerity that made him blush, prompting Dream to caress his hand as he explained that eversince his divorce, things have gotten lonely in his big house, that he missed having the company before adding that if they choose to take him up on the offer, they would have their own room and everything they could ever desire. Before Hob could say anything, his friend slammed the table with a furious look on his face, asking Dream who did he think he was, spouting empty promises like that, yelling that he knew his type, that he would start all nice during the few days to get them to trust him, then he would eventually leave them behind like a discarded toy, adding that if he thought that Hobo Heart would take the bait like that, then he was sorely mistaken. While that outburst worried the sunshine bun, who had never seen the other bun upset like this before, it only made Dream more determined to make it work so it was with no hesitation that he caressed the distraught boy's cheek, saying softly that it wasn't a game to him, that he was planning on keeping them by his side for a very long time, give them all the love that needed and more.

Gently rubbing Heart's bottom lip, he then muttered that even though the bun believes that he's broken because of Burgess, all that he needs is a daddy to take care of him, a safe space for him to let go all of his worries and allow his mind to go empty, no pesky thoughts, just comfort. When he saw the younger-man lean into his touch with a whine, his words and touch exactly what he needed, Dream whispered sweet nothings into his ear, calling him his sweet boy as he pulled him into his lap, cradling his head to his chest as he petted the boy's hair under a very red Hob, who was already packing his things in his mind, already falling hard for the man that they had met a few days ago.

I believe in Hot Greying Rich Sugar Daddy Divorcee! Dream supremacy and hope really hard that I'm not the only one frothing at the mouth at this, please tell me I'm not the only one *sobs in can't wait for Dream to show off his cute baby boys*

The one thing that never fails to annoy Hobo Heart, Love of the Endless, is when people assume that he's Eros/Cupid or similar to him, to the point where he pulls out his bow and arrow, tells them to run as fast as they can while he shows them just how painful his arrows actually are : if they are hit, they'll just be in a l o t of pain. In honor of this lovely little idea, here's a little drawing involving Love and his sweet boyfriend Hob, hope you all enjoy it and that it brings you all joy

Hobo Heart : Hello! <3

Hob : Cupid?! :O

Hobo Heart : Not what I'm called!!! (•̀ ᴖ •́)💢
