#i'm so soft for these two you can't even imagine 😢

[rubendiasthoughts]

Hello! So this is my take on how Ruben would be like with a pregnant reader. I honestly enjoyed writing this so much, I was literally crying thinking about how beautiful this experience would be with him 😢🥺 Thank you to the person who suggested it, I hope you like how it came out!

Ruben Dias as a dad to be - headcanon:

-So to be honest I think being pregnant with Ruben would be a planned thing. Just because I think that he is such a responisble guy and he just takes things seriously. So i think first he would want to wife you up and then maybe have some time just for the two of you to enjoy your marriage. And then when you two were ready you would start trying for a baby. Do you know the video in which he says that for him football is a way of preparing to have a family one day? Like that to me just screams such a responisble man and it's so hot for some reason. (Also just imagine all the baby making, that would be soo hot 🥵- maybe I will write something about that too?)

- But the moment you tell him that you are pregnant he would be sooo happy. I imagine it like this: you take the test when he is in training and you are so happy when you see that it is positive and you literally can't wait to tell Ruben. So you would plan this little thing: cook his favourite dinner for him, get all dolled up for him, do your makeup all pretty, wear his favourite dress of yours, favourite perfume. So when he comes home he already knows something is up. After he greets you with a hug and a sweet kiss he asks "what's the occasion angel?" and you're like "oh, it's nothing, just wanted to do something nice for you". And he would be like " Thank you baby, you look so pretty". So you serve the dinner and you eat, you are having a nice conversation, he is telling you all about his day and their preparations for the next match. After you're done eating you move the plates to the sink and than you go back to the table and you take a seat on his lap and you say "I wanted to tell you something" and he gives you a curious look. "I'm pregnant, you're gonna be a daddy" you tell him with tears in your eyes. And at first he is a little bit shocked but within a second the biggest smile comes onto his face and he asks "for real?". You just nod, tears already streaming down your face from happiness. He captures your lips in the sweetest kiss and then gives you the biggest hug. You spend the rest of the evening cuddling on the couch, he is giving you little kisses, his hand keeps wandering to your stomach, caressing it gently and you two are talking about your baby and the family you are about to start together. The evening is absolutely perfect, full of love and little giggles.

- I love the idea of him gifting you a necklace that says "mama" after you tell him about your pregnancy. That would be so cute.

-I think at first you would be kind of private about it, so you would wait a little bit with announcing it to the world. You two would probably post something once you actually start to showing and your bump gets harder to hide. But you would share the news with the people you love, your family, friends way sooner. I think he would be so excited to tell his parents, his brother, friends, his teammates, your family and friends. He'd be such a proud dad (to be 😂) while you two were receiving congratulations from everyone.

-If you thought he was protective of you before you were pregnant you were wrong. Once you are pregnant he isn't letting you out of his sight when you two are out, he always wants to be touching you, keeps you close to him. If you two are out and there is a lot of fans and people around, and they are getting too close to you for his liking he would have this angry look in his eye and he would try to get you out of there as quick as possible. And once he does and he looks at you his eyes are all soft again and he's just at peace because he knows you are all safe now.

- I am convinced that some people on the internet would be suspicious of what's going on even before you two officially announce it, because they see the way Ruben acts around you. Maybe there would be a picture of Ruben putting his hand on your stomach when you two are out, and he does that out of a habit, without even thinking about it. But it would definitely make people wonder.

- He would be so in awe of you when you're pregnant. He always loved to compliment you, but once you get pregnant it's just on another level. He adores how you dress up in all your cute dresses and outfits and how adorable your bump looks in them. Constantly telling you how beautiful you look carrying his baby. But also he would be reminding you how strong and incredible he thinks you are for literally growing a small human being inside your body any chance he gets. He would be so thankful for you making him a daddy and he would make sure to let you know 🥺 He would tell you how kind and compassionate and caring he thinks you are and how he thinks you will be the best mom because of that.

- He would do anything to keep you happy at all times. He'd go out in the late evenings to the supermarket if you're having some weird craving. He would massage your feet if they were hurting. He would be randomly bringing you flowers when he comes back home from training.

- He would also get extra serious about making sure you are staying hydrated and giving your body enough nutrition. He would love to cook for you, telling you he just wants to take care of you and his baby.

-When it's getting close to your due date you two would set up the baby room. And just imagine this - you are leaning against the doorframe watching him shirtless, just wearing some sweats, sitting on the floor putting together furniture for the baby. He would help you choose the color palette and you two would go out shopping together for things for the baby. He would get absolutely anything you want, if you just point at something and say you think it's cute there is no way he's not getting that.

- He would definitely read books about newborns, and becoming parents and all that stuff. And you two would talk about it, telling each other about the things you have read and learnt. He just wants to be the best dad so he would try to get as educated as he possibly can.

- He would adore your bump. He would be caressing it, kissing it, talking to it. He gets even more obsessed with touching your belly once the baby starts kicking. You would definitely make the joke how they will be a footballer just like their daddy.

- He would try his best to go to all your appointments with you, he would be holding your hand, listening carefully to what the doctor says to make sure he knows how to take care of you the best he can. Can you imagine the appointment during which you hear your baby's heartbeat for the first time. He would be absolutely beaming, gently wiping tears of happiness off of your face, giving you a little kiss on your forehead. He would definitely keep the sonogram in his wallet and best believe he is showing it off to everyone.

- I think looking for baby names with him would be so much fun! He would have so many ideas. Maybe he would even make a list where you guys can write your suggestions and he would put it up on the fridge so whenever either of you have a new idea you can just add it there. And you two would totally have conversations about the baby names on the evenings.

- I mentioned how he wouldn't let you carry things in the soft dom headcanons. But once you are pregnant he is so extra about that. There is literally no arguing with him on this one. If there is anything you need to do around the house that would require lifting anything he is doing it when he's back home for training. He can't have his girl doing that stuff.

- If one of your symptoms was morning sickness he would be so sweet, holding your hair back for you, caressing your back.

- If your back is hurting or you are experiencing any kind of symptoms that would make you uncomfortable he would be so soft for you. Cuddling with you, getting you everything you need, telling you how he wishes he could take your pain away.

- If there was some sort of celebration or a party with other man city guys and you are too far along and decide you can't go, because it would be too much for you at that stage, he would either stay home with you or go just for a little while and come back early. Even though you ensure him you have no problem with him going and telling him how you think he should have fun and enjoy himself.

-Whenever you're feeling needy for him he would make love to you in the sweetest way. I think at first you would usually opt for missionary. But when your bump gets bigger and it's kind of getting in the way he would love to do it while spooning you. He would be so gentle with you, careful not to hurt you. Kissing you, touching you so gently, his words so sweet and loving. He would absolutely worship your body and show you how grateful he is to you for carrying his baby.

-Overall, Ruben would be the perfect partner to go through pregnancy with. Even if it was a hard time for you he would make it all worth it in the end.

Okay, this is it for now, thank you so much for reading and thank you for your support on my previous posts, you are all so kind! ❤ As always, feedback is totally welcomed 🥰

I thought I was the only one who can't get enough of them just being close brothers. Yes, let them share a bed and kiss on the forehead and do stuff that brothers do. So say... do you have fluff fics? I'm taking the easy way out by asking because you have sooo many fics. 👀 looking respectfully. I don't know where to find Thor and Loki fluff, and I've tried. I tried so hard! Found a good one where they say I love you, but it's just a vignette and it's not enough. 😢 There was another one on ao3 that I read ages ago but I can't find it again. I'm starved for the bros showing affection in whatever way. Help?

Five People Who Were Fazed By Loki Sitting on Thor's Lap by Catspook : 3k : Thor likes to have Loki sit on his lap, the Avengers think it is weird, and Loki likes to troll them

Conflict Resolution by TheOtherOdinson : 6k : After Odin's death in Norway, Thor and Loki were left alone to deal with their loss and anger. Just the two of them. With no interruptions.

Home by my_dear_man : 2k : When the closest thing to home is right in front of you, even if it's your adopted brother who tried to kill you and take over Earth.

Soft Touch by calicojackofficial : Tony catches Thor and Loki napping together on a public couch.

We Were Eight at the Time... by Writinthestars : 5k : He’d never attacked Thor before. Their quarrels were always preluded by some sort of argument so there was warning, and they both knew they wouldn’t hurt each other too terribly.

This is the first time I used a real weapon against him. There’s no returning from that. It’s too late. I could’ve killed Thor - he’ll never forgive me.

Loki’s eyes filled with tears. This wasn’t what he wanted.

OR: Loki stabs Thor when they're eight.

Five out of Five is an Ideal You Can't Have by GalaxyThreads : 13k : While on an assignment from their father, Loki gets cursed to lose his senses. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but they're days from help, and Thor is forced to slowly watch his brother lose himself. (gen, Pre-Thor 1)

Mornings are for Destroying Landscaping by SalParadiseLost : 3k : Loki and Thor decide to spar one morning.

Tony isn't amused, Peter is happy to be a witness, and the Avengers don't have any power.

Castles in the Air by cosmic_medusa : 182k : Loki's first act as King is to collect his banished brother to aid his regency, however brief. Thor discovers that the political landscape is far from what it seemed, and that the lies of Odin have resulted in the threat of both his sons' safety and sanity. Drama, angst, double-crosses, butchering of folklore and history, and the epic bromance of Asgard's Princes ensues.

Bargaining by proantagonist : 109k : Faced with an eternity without his brother, Loki strikes a bargain to change the past. Post TDW.

i couldn't change (though i wanted to); by unintentionallyangsty : Given the team's circumstances--travelling through the cosmos and headed for Midgard on a previously unplanned voyage--Loki taking up a newfound fondness for shapeshifting on a whim is hardly the weirdest thing that has happened to any single member of the Revengers in the past several months. In fact, it doesn't even make the top three. 

(Alternatively, how Loki unintentionally ends up bonding with the Revengers on the Statesman as a number of different creatures))

That Sheds His Blood With Me by Kadorienne : 13k : "Because you are my brother," Thor told him.

(Politics and family on Asgard. A brotherly love story.)

Rotten At the Heart by Coneycat : 6k : in which Odin raised Loki as Thor's brother... and then used him to force Thor to prove his loyalty to Asgard.

Picking Up the Pieces by Thursdays_Angel : 7k : During the slow ride back to Earth Tony and Nebula come across the remains of the Statesman. Tony searches the faces for his friend and finds his brother instead. Thor loves his kid brother, the least Tony can do is bring him back for a proper burial.

And if that Mockingbird don't sing by dante_baby : 7k : If someone asked Loki how he imagines his last day of youth, he certainly wouldn't say being sick and completely alone in his own room. Luckily, Thor is always there for him.

Soft by enchantedlokii : 1k : Sicktember Day Five — Comfort Item

Insurgency by for_darkness_shows_the_stars : 50k : Despite his best efforts, Loki wins the Battle of New York.

The universe will never be the same again.

I'd follow you through hel (and fight off demons as well) by ThatOneAnnoyingFox : 1k : After a bad meeting with Odin, Thor watches the void.

It’s dishonourable, but if he did it with no-one to see, who cares where he’d go?

Portal To The Past by worstloki : 106k (ongoing) : Loki gets sent back in time a few centuries and since he's over trying to gain Odin's approval he's reliving life with his own happiness in mind. Naturally, everyone else has a problem with this.

OR: that one fic where odin keeps trying but is unable to get rid of teen loki

The Frog Incident by MoonGoddex : 6k : Loki turned him into a frog. And honestly, Thor hadn't thought twice about it at first. He'd been changed into a little golden retriever puppy one time as a commentary on his general demeanour, and into a donkey by way of insult via synonym. None of those transformations had resulted in people in black and orange bursting through glowing doors that hadn't been there before. Well, okay. There were a few steps between the transformation and his capture.

Throg, or The Time Loki Turned Thor Into A Frog by PhantomEngineer : 1k : The time when they were children when Loki turned Thor into a frog.

The Glorious Death by stainedglassflood : 1k : Loki dies without honour. Thor blames himself. (I will not fight you, brother.)

Just Close Your Eyes by ADreamer67 : 32k : Ragnarok has come to pass, the Asgardians have reached a deal with the leaders of Midgard for territory of their own, Loki is allowed to stay (provided he doesn’t leave said territory), and Thor is settled on the throne. So all in all, things are going well, if you ignore the recent massacre and planetary annihilation.

Well, except for the fact that Loki is working himself into the ground. And Thor is having none of it.

Cue a not entirely legal brotherly field trip where Thor will make Loki relax, or die trying. Responsibilities? Pssh, who cares about those? (Hint - Loki. Very much so)

(death must be lonely like I am) by GalaxyThreads : 17k (ongoing) : After the Battle of New York, S.H.I.E.L.D. claims Loki for punishment and consequently, also HYDRA. When the Avengers are assembled under the belief that Loki is escaping his cell, they rapidly realize what a mistake they've made leaving the younger Asgardian in their hands. (Gen, blind!Loki)

to your own blood, and empty spaces in the throat by vellaphoria : 13k : Silence suffocated the battlefield in the wake of Thanos’ ships.

It fell from the sky they had rent in their flight from Midgard’s surface, and it rose like mist from the forests they had left broken in their wake.

It settled in Thor’s lungs, collecting in the cracks of his armor like ash.

Cold Nostalgia by ADreamer67 : 30k : It's the last Winter Solstice before Thor is crowned. Thor wants to do something special. Inasmuch as a hunt in the middle of winter is special.

Loki just doesn't want to freeze to death.

Loki, Chronologically by eirtae : 180k (ongoing series) : Loki: Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'n' Roll Edition

OR: series of fics about Loki's life, and Thor's

proximity parasite by everylokitten : 3k : Thor eats something he shouldn't and gets a parasite that makes it painful for him to be away from his brother for even short periods of time. Eventually, there will be a safe way to remove all traces of it. Until then, the only thing that can quell his pain is Loki. Cuddles ensue.

What family is for by dante_baby : 8k : Thor got sick and Loki is definitely not having a good time.

Five times Tony was a dumbass and one time he was a REAL dumbass. by thebackwardsstep : 3k : Her hysteria exploded through the halls, her sides splitting, face perfectly beaming. The laughter would have been contagious if Tony wasn’t on the receiving end of it. “Yeah, sure. That’s his girlfriend.” Okay, so Tony wasn’t stupid: he could clearly identify the sarcasm in the Valkyrie’s tone, meaning she was blatantly lying. Tony wasn’t stupid, which was why he felt confident in concluding that the mystery-woman was obviously Thor’s wife.

The Woes of Survival by withthekeyisking : 5k : They won, didn't they? They're off to find a new home, Thor is in his rightful place as king, and he finally has his brother back at his side.

But Loki is acting a little differently; quieter, even when he's speaking. Isolated, even when he has the entire room's attention. Flinching from touches he would have allowed before, even with the customary rolling of his eyes.

And then Thor overhears an odd conversation between Brunnhilde and Loki...

Ichor in Violet by tirsynni : 15k : When Thor learns that Loki can travel to other realms without Heimdall seeing, of course he convinces Loki to take them both to Jotunheim to hunt Frost Giants. There an accident unravels centuries of lies and threatens to unravel Loki, too.

The first rule of Vonasnire was there were no questions asked. by thebackwardsstep: 6k : Pure, shameless fluff about Thor being such a good brother and guiding Loki through his feelings even despite how much they can hurt them both.

small and little and held by Lokincest : 1k : Thor wants to be the little spoon.

additionally, virtually anything by unintentionallyangsty, GalaxyThreads, xWitchAlchemistx (who does write Thor/Loki but the brodinsons is strong), ADreamer67, etc.

A Thin Layer of Rock

You guys! You know what we have to talk about first. The Moment™️

They have my whole heart, how could they not? Beau was going to kiss Jenny, no one can take that away from me 😌💕 They need to be together. Like, yesterday. And her going to him, because she needed to see him after a rough day, made rougher no doubt because he wasn't there, I- she said she'd let him know if she needed him, and she called him and came over because she needs him 🥺💓 She loves him so much, he's where she feels the safest, they need to have their soft happy ending 🌹 I need scenes where she finds out Beau cares just as much as she does, asap. And the way he looks at her, the way he brushed her hair back, but mostly, he was just touching it 🥺 He's fallen so hard, I just can't wait for him to make his next move. They love each other so much 🥺💕 The love and adoration on his face when he looks at her says it all, and the fact that she's so overwhelmed with emotion in this moment that she's getting teary, I just- they deserve to be happy together!

Okay, now we can rewind 🤣

Them once again showing their expertise in that interrogation, nudging, poking, collecting information even when Walter wasn't talking? I stan a badass sheriff duo 💯

And then them flirting with the plus one thing? I see what you guys are doing 👀😌😏 And Cassie being so happy watching them falling even more in love with each other 🥺 She ships it 💛

The Beau-Beau thing..... No, I agree with Cassie, this is cringy 😬 I don't know why, but I get a visceral reaction everytime she says it. I don't like it.

I'm going to be honest, I'm not feeling the implication here that a 15 year old with no training and a secretary is going to crack a case that trained cops and detectives have been trying to for 20 years. It feels like undermining the people the story is really about.

The person who kept calling Jenny? Now we know it was either her mom or whoever is after her mom, and when they hurt her..... they will be catching the sheriff's hands 😡 And I'm here for it 🥰

"Patience is.... it's just an eight letter word, starts with a P." "Guess it's an argument for nature, huh? Cuz he lives in the... 😂😂" Lmao, how is Beau so funny? He really was on fire 🥰🤣👌🏻

I'm a little sad that Paige didn't really fall for Walter and is only helping for the money. I thought that was starting to be an interesting dynamic, creepy and messed up as it was 😢 But now Buck's kidnapped her. Girl really can't catch a break, huh. I know she's bad and a thief. But, she's also really fun as a character!

I really did think Meredith was dead, so that does change things. But only just a little, I'm not entirely convinced Buck is the Bleeding Heart killer. He's deranged alright. But is he this particular killer? 🤷🏻‍♀️

That scene with Carla and Avery, they really are so perfect together, I truly need them to work things out, asap, and for them and Emily to be a big, happy, family again. They even have all the same hobbies. Getting involved in things they shouldn't and being condescending towards Beau!

The nerve. The effing nerve of Carla, calling her ex, the same ex she's been treating like dirt for the past two years (and probably their whole relationship) to bail out her new husband. She really has no shame. And she called him, whining, then instead of being grateful or even polite, continued to snap at him. Like he's bothering HER? This is not a healthy dynamic, it's abuse, & I can only imagine how much worse it was when they were married. Beau is a much better man than Carla ever could deserve, he'd have every right to her deal with her issues herself, considering the way she's always treated him. He doesn't owe her anything 😒

Cassie and Cormac having that difficult conversation 😔 I have to wonder how things are really going to go, when it all comes to a head, if he'll really be able to ignore that they're his family. Especially when he finds out that Walter probably actually isn't the killer.

I'm kind of salty they split up Beau and Jenny during a case involving a wedding, it really could've been something, them working the case together. BUT we did get this gem out of it: "Heh. For the right guy, I might try again." "For the right guy, huh? You met him yet?" Commence Jenny blushing and changing the subject 🥺💝 She could've just said no, but she loves Beau so much already that she can't even deny it, are they trying to make me cry? 🥺💕 Also, Pops ships it too 😌

And, I can live with them doing their own thing this episode, because it made the trailer scene that much more intense 🥺 The way she's tired and worn down, and the first place she thinks of going is to him. And he was so worried, bounding down those steps to her to make sure she's okay ♥️ And the whole moment is so tender, the way he looks at her, the way she looks so overwhelmed with emotion, the way he caressed her face and brushed back her hair 🥺😍 (And major props to Jensen and Katheryn, once again, they had Beau and Jenny say so much without so many words. They always make every character, every relationship so real, and I just love how tangible they've made the care these two characters have for each other 💯) Like, this isn't ambiguous any more (was it ever really?). Beau and Jenny have feelings for each other. A lot. They need to have their happy ending 🥀

And something that I have to point out about Jenny and Beau, is that I love how every case affects them. Being around so much chaos and death, you'd think it would eventually become the norm to detach. But they care so much that every case hits like the first 😫🥺💛

Carla. What can I say about her? The hatred I have for this woman. First she left Beau because he was grieving, continued to treat him worse than dirt, married someone else, and now that HE is moving on, suddenly she's trying to ruin that. Even in that scene, when Jenny says she'll go, she looks so entitled and smug like "yes, YOU go, I have every right to be here." She didn't even bother to say hello, just addressed Beau. Truly cannot stand her. I did think it was really funny though that when Jenny handed her the beer case (because she's a better woman than Carla could ever hope to be, and was being nice despite Carla's behaviour in that very scene), Beau snatched that case right away like "MY Jenny, MY beer 😡"

I do think what's really interesting is that Beau offered to let them stay so they wouldn't get killed, and Emily is STILL complaining with her mouth, and Carla is still being passive aggressive and condescending with her looks to the trailer. Like it's beneath them. Seriously, Beau should just let them stay in Avery's house, let them die, see if I care 😒

Something I did like is the fact that Beau felt like he should explain himself to Jenny about why his entitled ex and child were there. To me, that just shows that he's committed his heart to Jenny, without even realizing it 🥺💕

But man, Jenny in that last scene is breaking my heart, she was trying so hard not to cry. They need to fix this, asap. Next episode, her and Beau need to talk some things out, and I need a lot of nice Beau/Jenny scenes to make up for this 😭💔 And, I'm thinking about like, how long was Jenny calling Beau? 🥺 He probably didn't have his phone on him, he would never ignore her, but after what happened, that probably made her even sadder 💔 After the attack, I need the precinct (or the hospital) to call Beau about the incident at Jenny's house, and for him to be so worried and run to her, to make sure she's okay, to need to see her with his own eyes, to take care of her 🥺💕

And I hope they wouldn't, but if they now made him leave her for his psycho ex, that would be so disrespectful to Jenny from the narrative 🙃 And it would be extremely disrespectful to Beau. There's no way a man like him spends all that time with Jenny, flirting, opening up, AND going in for that kiss, if he had even an ounce of romantic feelings for Carla. My Beau would never. Sooo...... they'd better not try some clownery here 😒

And anyway, all I have to say is look at the difference between the way Beau looks at Jenny and every interaction with Carla. That one glance held more love & affection than every single forced scene with Carla combined, even the ones of him reminiscing and saying he cares and the hugs.

Every interaction Beau and Jenny have with each other, you can see their concern and respect for each other, their care. They always try to be there for the other, have the other's back. And this is a relationship where they can let each other in without being punished for it, without worrying that their feelings will be used against them. And you can see their feelings for each other in every glance, see their pull in the way they move together and gravitate towards each other.

The only logical next step is showing that Beau's stuck because of guilt & regret, not love. And once he & Jenny open up about their pasts & heal, once he's allowed to heal from the case in Houston, all the related mess, for him to realize that he's been over it for a long time & to move forward in his life with Jenny, who deserves to be loved and have someone who always has her back, to heal from the trauma with her family, her mother. Just.... they deserve a happy ending together 🥺💛
