My darlings

[catgrandpa]

I started this post with the intention of asking for fic recs where Bruce gets his kids early, but then I ended up just writing some ficlets

_(:3 」∠)_

I still really just want recs I swear but I wrote these anyway and am incapable of doing more with them so here

☆彡

Dick Grayson is 8 years old when he watches his parents die. Bruce is 24 years old when he sees a young boy’s life fall to pieces. He’s far too young to be a single father. But he sees too much of himself in the child, and he knows in his heart that he won’t be able to walk away from him.

He talks to Alfred about his fears of only furthering Dick’s trauma by failing him as a guardian. It takes some time, but Alfred is able to convince Bruce to find a therapist and take some discreet parenting classes. He’s still Batman, and I don’t think he’s capable of Gentle Parenting™ but he does do better. Plus, Dick is young enough to learn to read Bruce before the teenage hormones kick in so they manage to communicate much more effectively with each other.

☆彡

Bruce meets Catherine Todd by chance because there was a cool park Dick wanted to stop at. She’s trying to deal with her hungry and fussy 3 year old step son, but she’s young and stressed out and hungry herself and she just doesn’t know what to do. Bruce offers to take them out for lunch. He asks Dick to take Jason to the play area in the corner while they talk.

She breaks down and tells him of her struggles with addiction. She does her best to keep Jason fed, but it’s so hard. Feeding him means she goes hungry most of the time because she can’t quit using. Jason wouldn’t survive if she had to go through withdrawals with him.

He’s not even her kid! Not really. Her husband is just an abusive deadbeat so she doesn’t have a choice. She does love him, but she never wanted kids, and she can’t just let a child die when she can do something.

Bruce fills their fridge and cabinets to the brim (he offers to do much more for them but that’s all she will budge on. She has too much pride to accept outright charity, but she will do what she can to keep her kid safe) and he makes it clear to her that he is willing to take care of Jason for however long is necessary when she decides to take the first step to get clean.

Two months later, Willis gets arrested and Catherine shows up at Wayne Manor and tells Bruce she signed up for inpatient, but she thinks it would be best for Jason and for herself if Bruce would be willing to take permanent custody. She stays in Jason’s life, just not as a mother figure.

☆彡

A year or so later, Bruce gifts Alfred with a vacation as an early birthday present. Things have been hectic with the sudden acquisition of two sons, and Alfred has done so much, he deserves a break. Bruce promises he’ll be able to handle two kids on his own.

Turns out, he was mostly right, but only just barely. The kids are fine, the manor not so much. He ends up hiring a few services to help out with general housekeeping. A couple of those workers also happen to be regular hires for the Drakes.

Bruce overhears them talking about how sad it is that those awful people treat their toddler more like a doll than a child. He learns that not only do they leave for long periods at a time while not hiring a proper nanny to watch over their son, just expecting the help to take care of him, but they also lock him away on his own whenever it’s ’not fashionable’ to have a 2 year old around.

Alfred comes back to the manor on August 15th, just in time to celebrate his and Master Jason’s birthdays together. He opens the door and dodged around a very excited 4 year old jumping up and down in the entry hall.

“ALFIE! ALFIE! BOOSE GOT ME A BABY BWOTHER FOR MY BIRFDAY! LOOK! LOOK! HIMS NAME IS TIMMY AND HE’S THE BESTEST!”

Alfred leans over to peak behind the boy, and sees a very quiet, very small child standing behind him.

“Oh, dear.”

☆彡

The day Bruce got the call from Talia telling him she was pregnant with his child was one of the best days of Bruce’s life. The day she called to tell him she miscarried was one of the worst.

The only blessing was that he didn’t need to explain it to his kids. Talia was going to move in once she was in her second trimester, and they planned to reveal her pregnancy together.

He got the call two weeks before her flight out. He begged her to come anyway, he loved her, they could still be a family. She refused.

Six and a half months later, he walks into his bedroom to find Talia standing by the window with a squirming bundle in her arms. With equal measures steel and sorrow in her eyes she tells Bruce she is sorry for what she put him through, but it was the only way to keep their son safe. He gathers them both in his arms and holds them tight as she explains.

Her father had planned to raise an heir to be the Demon Head. He would be kept a secret from Batman until the very end. But when Talia gave the final push to birth their son, he came out quiet. She panicked for a moment until her midwife quietly leaned down to listen to the baby’s breathing and then looked up with a soft smile, she bundled up the small thing and handed Talia her baby. Big beautiful green eyes blinked up at her. The midwife leaned closer to Talia and whispered, “Sadly, your son was stillborn. I’m deeply sorry for your loss, but surely The Great Head of the Demon would be willing to allow you some time away from your duties while you recover.” Talia allowed the woman to cover her beautiful cooing baby gently with soft linen and silk and carry him from the room. Later that night she left her home with her son and boarded the first flight to Gotham.

Tears gather on Bruce’s lashes and he tells her everything will be alright because now they can finally be together as a family. Once more, she refuses. She tells him Damian and his boys are far too precious for her to bring the danger of the league of assassins to their door. Bruce closes his eyes in sorrow, but nods his acceptance. He asks her to at least stay the night together. They fall asleep wrapped in each other’s arms with their baby boy safely bundled between them. Talia is gone when he wakes.

☆彡

It’s been one week since Talia left and, while still beyond upset, Bruce feels like he’s starting to have a decent handle on things. He is sitting with his boys at the breakfast table, Dick and Jason to his left, Tim to his right, Damian in his arms, and Alfred across from him. They’re finally able to have a relaxing breakfast. No babies crying, no food fights, no arguing, just the sounds of eating and gentle chatter.

He feels a small hand grab his right sleeve and give a gentle tug.

“Boo?” Tim asks, quietly. Bruce feels his heart warm at his son finally feeling like he can speak up without permission.

“Yes, sweetheart?”

“Why isn’t Big Sister sitting with us?”

Alfred is the only person in the room other than Tim to not startle at the sudden appearance of a 5 year old girl standing next to Bruce at the dining table. He simply sighs, stands up, and grabs another place setting for her at the table.

so crazy that this thing was hunting monsters and cuddling his baby bwother and crying himself to sleep in motel rooms

1. “Yeah, ya know, they’re actually teachin’ all kindsa folk how to read an’ write these days,” she answered his second question with a sarcastic exaggeration of the natural twangs of her accent, ignoring his first entirely. “They ain’t even makin’ you go all the way to law school for it no more.”

2. “Piss off, Earl,” she spat, elbowing him out of the way. “I mean, honest to god fuckin’ piss off, alright?”

3. “Opossums are fuckin’ marsupials, Mary May!”

4. “I would fuckin’ carve out your eyes and throw them in the lake first, so that the only thing you’d ever see of me again is my fishing hook when I came back here to catch whatever trout had the bad luck of eating you.” 

5. “Familiar enough to know that if you’re calling me a ‘Delilah’ or something that’s some misogynistic bull —”

6. “Probably do a little publicity tour, once it all makes news. A few TV specials, tell-all nightly news interviews, a true crime podcast here and there. I bet I could make a good buck writing some kinda fucking memoir or something about this shit. Everyone would eat it up, you know, out of guilt, ‘cause —” she paused, raising her pitch a bit in nasally mocking, “‘cause we should really be focusing on the victims, not making the perpetrators famous,” she chimed, followed by a dismissive wave of her hand at the thought. “But you know, they’d still all be reading it to see what I said about you of course. But no skin off my ass, as long as they buy it. Figure I could spend… two, maybe three months as America’s sweetheart, then slip back into anonymity. Live off the royalties. The occasional consulting fee, anytime someone decides to make a movie about you and your fuckin’ cult.” 

7. “Head wasn’t that good,” she replied flatly. 

8. “Yeah, pretty sure they make a pill these days for when a gal realizes she’s made that kinda mistake,” she retorted with an exaggerated batting of her eyelashes as she pulled the flask from his hand. “And if you’re the baby daddy, she really would be wising up to take it.” 

9. “Oh, I’m back, baby.” She forced the smile to fall from her face, lips and brow tensing with sudden gravity. “And I’ve rigged this whole fucking mountain with explosives set to go off any second now. This thing is gonna blow sky fuckin’ high, and you and I are going to blow up with it. ’Cause I —” she feigned a gasp, brought her wrist to her brow as she threw her head back in a pantomime of being on the verge of fainting. “I can’t deny it any longer — I’m in love with you, and I want us to fucking be together forever in the fiery abyss of death.” 

10. “Tell your big bwother to make his stump speeches even scawrier next time — I’m sure it’ll make the canon fodder he sends out harder to kill, if he gravels his voice a bit more.”

11. She snorted. “You worried I’m not playing with a full set or something?”

12. “I jest,” she hissed, knocking his hand away. “You haven’t fuckin’ gotten that by now? It was a fucking joke.” 

13. “C’mon, that the fucking best miss church camp coachella can do to scare me?”

14. “For the fuckin’ record, I’m prolonging the void of nothingness when my organs stop functioning and I cease to exist in conscious form, not eternal damnation,” she finally spat. 

15. “It’s gonna be hilarious, actually,” she replied, pushing herself off from the door frame with a parting wave. “Tell your friends!”

atlas constantly noting:

“baby leif so quiet”

“leify so sweepy”

“bwother leify so shy”

and eris mumbles a “thank the gods” because even as a baby, atlas was full of energy, babbling nonsense before he could even form sentences-and once he could, he since has never stopped.

he wasn’t sure he could handle another bundle of energy so close to his first.

I like the idea that Atlas is just in awe that something so tiny can be so quiet he definitely accidentally wakes up Leif on several occasions bc he thinks his little brother has died bc he’s too quiet😭

[thesiblingsoftheblackandwhite]

Blinky. I need my medication.

Wiggly’s voice stays slurred with sleep. Bliklotep grimaces, opening his eyes. He digs through his pocket, forgetting the pill bottles are in the bag.

Fancy. Your doll’s biggest word was ‘tickles’.

…Youw baby bwother is in pain and you’we not even doing anything about it.

That’s not helping your chances at getting up.

Some of us are still sleeping. And dizzy.

Blinky groans, hiding in his hoodie sleeve.

Pokey, you get the meds.

Pokey shifts his legs around.

Tinky’s not letting me go anytime soon.

The other two look up curiously. True to word, their older brother is the only one who has stayed asleep, hugging Pokotho.

…When did he leave?

[writingsofwesteros]

When Daella went into labour, she only wanted her sisters in the room with her. Which left Aegon and Aemond in the waiting room, pacing like madmen. Alicent remained outside to comfort her sons, she knew since Helaena had given birth to twins before, and Nora being a grounding presence from Hera and Jae's birth that her youngest was in good hands. Besides, someone needed to make sure that Aemond didn't lash out at every living soul in sight. They left the twins with Rhaenyra and Daemon, who'd come over to the estate with Aegon the Younger and little Viserys. "I hate this," Aegon groaned beside Alicent as Aemond paced the room. "I know," Alicent sighed. "But she'll be well, my boys, your sister is as brave as any of you." "She's been in there for ages," Aemond mumbled. "How much longer-" "There they are," Gwayne came over to them, Cherub in hand. "Uncle," His nephews nodded his way, too caught up in their worry for their sister and their twin boys being brought into the world. "Hello sweet Cherub," Alicent picked up the toddler, who was rather happy since Gwayne had gone ahead and bought her a lollypop on the way. "Where's Aunty Daella? And the babies? Awe they stiw in her bewy?" Cherub asked as Alicent settled her on her lap. "She's having the baby now, sweet one." Alicent explained. "It just takes some time, is all." "Jae and Hewa awe getting baby bwothers?" Cherub asked. "That's right darling, twins, like Hera and Jae, but two boys instead of one boy and one girl." Alicent told her. "Uncle Aeg and Aemy look upset," Cherub whispered to her. "They're worried, sweetling." Alicent sighed. "Giving birth to babies is difficult."

Cherub slid off Alicent's lap and waddled over to Aegon who was now pacing, and Aemond was sitting talking to Gwayne. "Uncle Aeg?" Cherub tugged on his hand. "Yea pretty girl?" Aegon picked her up. "Aunty Dae will be owkay. When my Papa's upset I give him kisses." She kissed his cheek. "So I give you kiss cause Hewa and Jaw aren't here." Aegon softened. "Thank you, baby." He pressed a kiss to her temple, calming a little.

Another hour passed, and the doctor finally came out and said, "All is well, Mr and Mr Targaryen. Two healthy baby boys. And Daella is doing well. She was a real fighter in there." Everyone sighed in relief. "Can we see her?" Aemond asked anxiously, and the doctor nodded, leading them back in the birthing suite that was just cleaned up. There Daella laid, exhausted but blissfully happy, two little bundles on her chest. "Hi," She said softly as her brothers approached, fathers once more. Nora and Hel smiled and helped put the babies back into the incubators for Aegon and Aemond to look properly.

"That one looks like you," Aegon whispered. "That one looks like you," Aemond replied as they looked down in awe- two sons, one that looked like an image of each of them.

THE CUTEST!!!!!!!!!!!

Cherub is so sweet ; just trying to calm everyone down like her mother would.

Aemond & Aegon would be so useless in the actual birthing room, bless them

Little James Rogers was only 3 years old when he was told the exciting that would soon turn into the most disappointing news he had ever heard in his life

Steve and Natasha were quietly discussing something in the kitchen when James walked in wanting a drink of milk.

“Milk pwease daddy,” James said walking over to Steve and raising his arms in the air to let his father know that he wanted to be picked up.

Natasha went to pour James a glass of milk while Steve held and cuddled him.

James has always been a daddy’s boy and Natasha didn’t mind that Steve got to give him all the cuddles and kisses or read him bedtime stories every night and play with him all day. Okay, maybe she did mind slightly…slightly.

After James finished his milk Natasha took the cup from him and placed it in the sink to be washed later.

“James mommy and I need to tell you something,” Steve said putting him down on the ground.

“Oh okay we’re doing this now,” Natasha said kneeling down to James’ level.

“What is it?” James asked

“Mommy is going to have a baby. You’re going to be a big brother.” Natasha told him.

“Take a look.” She took out the ultrasound from her jeans pocket and gave it to him.

As James looked at the image he wasn’t quite sure what he was looking at. “What that?”

“That’s the baby James,” Steve explained.

“Where is baby?” James asked looking around the room

“In mommy’s tummy,” Steve said.

James suddenly let out a big gasp “mommy eat baby?”

“No sweetheart I didn’t eat the baby.” Natasha laughed. That's where the baby stays so it can be safe and grow till it’s ready to be born.”

“How baby get out?” James asked

“Well…umm…” Natasha looked at Steve hoping he would have an answer but he just shrugged.

Before they could answer James slightly lifted Natasha’s shirt revealing her stomach. “Baby comes out tummy button wite mommy?”

Both Steve and Natasha laughed “that’s right sweetie.” Natasha said kissing his cheek.

“Mommy me want bwother.”

“You might get a brother but you might not it’s not something we can control it just happens,” Steve told him.

“It will be a nice little surprise for all of us in 6 month time." Natasha smiled at Steve who smiled back at her.

"That too long me want baby now." James whined."

"I know son but you just have to be patient the baby will be here whenever it's ready," Steve told the young boy.

---⧗---

James waited and waited and asked every day if it was time for his new brother to arrive but it never was.

To help him understand more of what will happen when the baby arrives Steve and Natasha brought him along to the majority of the doctor's appointments, let him help decorate the new baby's room and read him books that were written to help children understand what will change when the baby comes.

Finally after what felt like years to little James the day had arrived when he got to meet his new little brother

Steve took Natasha to the hospital last night and Wanda stayed to watch James.

From the second his parents left to when he got up this morning James spent the whole time looking out the window waiting for them to come home.

---⧗---

"They're home, they're home, they're home," James shouted when he saw the car pull up in the driveway.

Steve and Natasha walked in and Steve was carrying a baby car seat with their new baby inside.

"Mama, daddy you're home," James said excitedly.

"Come here, my baby boy," Natasha said with a big smile on her face and opened her arms for him to run into.

He ran over to her and gave her a big hug.

"Have you been good for aunt Wanda?" Natasha asked after she gave him many kisses all over his face.

"Yes mama." he laughed wiping his face.

"That's my good boy. Are you ready to meet your new sibling?"

James nodded excitedly.

Natasha took his hand and led him into the living room with Steve and Wanda following.

Natasha sat down on the couch with James sitting down beside her.

James was struggling to contain his excitement.

"Calm down baby you have to be very quiet and gentle when holding the baby okay," Natasha spoke softly

"Sowy mama. Me happy to see baby brother."

"Before you hold the baby we have some news that will make you sad James." Steve took his new child out of the car seat.

"what is it?"

Natasha put her hands on James' shoulder and gently turned him towards her. "Sweetheart I'm sorry but you don't have a brother the baby is a girl you have a sister."

"Oh," James said sadly.

"Do you still want to hold her?" Steve asked getting closer to him.

James shook his head and climbed off the sofa. "I hate baby."

"I know you're upset James but that's not very nice," Natasha spoke calmly not wanting to escalate it further.

"Just come say hi to her James she's not going to bite." Steve started bringing the baby closer to James.

Steve didn't expect James to react the way he did.

"No!" He screamed pushing his dad’s leg to get him to move but obviously, Steve didn’t budge

“Careful James you don’t want to hurt the baby now do you?."

“Stupid baby. Hate baby." James shouted then ran to his room crying his eyes out.

"Do you want me to deal with him, babe?" Steve asked carefully passing baby you to her.

"No, it's okay just leave him to calm down in his own time." Natasha placed a kiss on your head then laid back on the couch and closed her eyes.

Most of the time Natasha wouldn't let James off with that behaviour but she was too tired and she didn't want to risk the tantrum that he will definitely throw to wake up the baby

---⧗---

A few hours later James quietly made his way downstairs and peeked his head inside the living room. His parents were sitting on the couch. Natasha was holding the baby and Steve was wiping the baby's face with a cloth.

James slowly walked in keeping his head down ashamed of his reaction earlier.

"Hey, sweetheart are you okay?" Natasha asked.

James nodded "sowy mama sowy daddy."

Steve moved over and patted the space in the middle of him and Natasha "it's okay son."

James climbed up on the spot in between his parents and got himself comfortable.

"You were just having too many big feelings about what was happening and you didn't know how to react right?" Natasha explained to James what happened.

James nodded in agreement.

"Do you think that you're ready to meet your new sister?" Natasha asked, "it's okay if you're not we can try again when you're ready there is no rush."

"Wedy now mama." James smiled at her

Natasha carefully put you in James' arms "James meet Y/N your new baby sister."

James smiled at the fragile little baby in his arms "Y/N. I love Y/N."

though James started off hating you it didn't last long he made sure that he was the best big brother to you. He Always protected you and did what he could to make you happy.

Hey Smollusk, what’s your opinion on Grizzco? We’re fighting against chaotic Salmonids so would we be considered order?

— Roe M. ( @goldenrotations )

Absolutely not. You’we whole thing is taking litewal babies away from theiw families. That’s not orderly in the slightest! You cannot claim to be order just because what you fwight is chaos.

Your CEO claimed neutwality on behalf of the company, and rwemaining neutwal is siding with chaos.

Plus, weren’t both you and youw bwother on Team Chaos?

[glossysoap]

WHEN WILL IT END!

I just got home from the meeting at my child's school where they showed me evidence, and I open the garage to park when I find my husband teaching our 4 year old how to jump start a car?? He's 4. He can't even reach the pedals, why does he need to know how to jump the damn car? Why are the men in my life chaotic??

My child said he needs to learn these things so that way he can teach his baby sister when she arrives so she won't need to rely on boys. He sounds just like his dad, that's what he's always saying. I don't know which of the 2 are more excited for baby girl... hubby, who wanted to be a girl dad but ended up having a boy first, or son who can't wait to be the "best big bwother for sissy".

At this point I just wanna hide from these 2 psychos

TakeMeAwayPlease,

💥

OH MY GOD. THEY NEED TO BE LOCKED UP 😭😭😭 THEY’RE GONNA TAKE OVER THE WORLD I’M CRYING. YOUR HUSBAND IS A RAT LMAOOAAO

I’LL BE RESCUING YOU ASAP <33

Rohan pulling out the crayons and playdough watching every 10 minutes so he doesn’t eat it Rohan is probably gonna design a pink dark boy colouring book from how much he infodumps to him

and he will in turn get snuggles and jodio will probably just vibe in his high chair no thoughts in his head

You are so true for that

They make little pdb figurines from playdoh together

Plus Rohan learns some interesting facts about his own franchise

Like babie Jodio would definitely explain headcanons as if they were canon lol

"She has a bwother"

"...where?"

"In volum 54!"

"...Ah"

(Rohan flipping through his own work because Jodio literally remembers more from pdb than him)

Andrew the stuntdevil clone son is def an au on its own but there's an adjacent one where that and flft au cross over. From there, Andrew gets to meet Jackie and even though he wants nothing to do with Matt, he will gladly be around Jackie bc that's his baby bwother.

The talk? with Squalo

They went near the water again*

Fang: I heard you left to come for me even if you could have lost your new job.

Squalo: Please, it was not that much of a deal! Besides, then the little demon would keep up bothering me with: Where’s bwig bwother? Oh no where could he have gone to? I am so scared waaa waaa.

He imitated a crying baby while rubbing his eyes*

Fang: So you did it for Annie? Thank you, I bet you were really worried about her.

Squalo: I WAS NOT!!!

Fang: Pffff Good old Squalo.

Squalo: ......Now listen here.

He grabs Fang by the shirt, forcing him down*

Squalo: I would have found you and killed you myself! You made everyone worry and still have the gall to laugh! Personally I was quite satisfied when Izzy hit you. Finally someone with common sense!

Fang went quiet and felt ashamed*

Squalo: But, as much as I hate to say it....the world would be less interesting without you...

Fang looked at him with wide eyes*

Fang: Thank you....

Squalo: Whatever, you once accept me with my mistakes....so I’m going to return the favour.

But if you EVER do that again. I advise you to run!

Fang: Haha, I’ll keep that in mind.

[bellafragolina]

You've heard of lil sib reader, now get reader for big sib reader (not from lil sib reader, a whole separate person)! Starring you, Ash and Goh! And… a Gallade because Gallade is my favourite Pokémon ( * ^^)

-being the oldest among the trio, they look up to you like a big sibling! you take up the position with some pride and reluctance, being someone two energetic and ambitious boys look up to was a bit of a challenge but you pull through.

-to level out the energy, you're calmer. to prevent accidents, you're the brain cell. to prevent conflict, you're the mediator. it gets tiring but what's worth it in the end is everyone's smiling faces–and of course, them calling you "big sib"! you feel all fluffy and warm on the inside at the title, they're both so adorable when they say it, you just wanna give them a big hug! you and dragonite give the best hugs!

-ash likes battling you a lot! he thinks you and gallade are crazy strong. he also likes to hear all about the strong trainers you've met, turns out he knows quite a few of them too! you even have footage of the matches saved, so you show him some of your favorites when sitting in the train or plane. his eyes sparkle with intrigue so brightly, you need to look away lest you wish to go blind. you make sure to be there for all his important battles and cheer him on loudly from the sidelines!

-goh enjoys reading your research notes and even watching you do your research! he gets super excited to learn about all the pokémon you encounter. you have pretty good observation skills so he's always surprised when you point out a detail he doesn't notice when you're out on the field.

-they're really impressed with how you handle wild pokémon, you're calm even in the face of aggressive ones. once, you all had left your pokémon at the centre while you went to do some field research. the boys were unfortunate to stumble upon a mightyena and it attacked them- or at least nearly did because you jumped in to take the hit instead. you had to tell them to stay back because it only got angrier the closer they came to you. your arm took multiple painful bites while you tried to placate it. about 10 minutes passed before it finally relaxed and apologized to you, trying to lick your wounds. the whole time, goh and ash were watching with worry and amazement. they gained so much more respect for you after that incident.

-as protective as you are of them, you don't step in until it's entirely necessary though your self-restraint needs work. gallade can be seen holding you back from punching the absolute lights out of team rocket every time. they DID end up being sent flying the one time you escaped gallade's vice grip though. they're lucky you're usually off somewhere else doing research when they arrive… or else who knows what you'd do. other villains aren't as lucky, you've socked rose and matori right in the cheek! (gallade let it happen… he was mad too…)

-whenever ash or goh are feeling down, they look at you with the most kicked puppy expressions ever. your heart immediately breaks and you're already comforting them and giving them hugs! and after you're done making them smile, you're rushing over to whatever made them sad in the first place with gallade running behind trying to stop you. raboot and grapploct dodged bullets for real.

-for goh especially though, you're slower with your approach. he's more sensitive (which isn't a bad thing) than ash so you're careful with how you select your words and even interact with him when he's upset. he thinks a lot (which isn't a bad thing either) and sometimes those thoughts keep him up at night, he thinks he's sneaky but you always find him sitting outside watching the stars. you slip out to accompany him and he really appreciates it, it makes him feel less lonely when he's got all the stars out there and a brilliant star right next to him.

-but when they find something new, they look more like excited boltunds. you have to focus real hard to catch what they're saying because they're talking as fast as an arcanine's extreme speed! they always speak at the same time so your brain gets fried trying to categorise the info. all you need to do is put a hand on their heads and they'll stop, apologising for their behavior. you tell them it's fine but they can practically see you deflated.

-you help dry their hair after they shower just to make sure they don't catch colds and even comb through them too. ash's hair is easier to work with since it isn't that long but goh's hair gets a bit tangled sometimes. he usually gives up halfway and opts to clip them back instead, but ever since you started combing his hair he's had to clip less of his hair back! he still keeps his bangs out of his face but it's a lot smoother and silkier now!

-when camping out, it's pretty much your job to cook food since the boys still aren't that great at it. either that or they starve… you let them help out sometimes but they're always competitive with each other so things get messy easily. they really like your cooking, though! ash could probably eat every portion you made if nobody else had to eat… honestly, what's his stomach made of?!

-there was that one time where you fell ill and you were so out of it, you could barely move away from your bed without a skull splitting migraine keeping you shackled to rest. goh and ash were so worried about you, in your blurry memory they even cried. they did their best to watch over you the entire day, making soup by themselves (well… mostly by themselves because gallade would not let the house burn down) and monitoring your temperature. the next day when you woke up, you found the two boys and their pokémon sleeping on the floor with the thermometer, bucket and towel next to them. gallade was resting on your chair, too.

-they care about you as much as you do for them! all your lockscreens are the same picture: the three of you smiling brightly at the camera lens with messed up hair.

"Huh? What I think about [Name]?"

"Big sib [Name]?"

The two boys look at each other before turning back.

"They're the best big sib we could ask for!"

TT-TT
