#lester provides food comfort and advice

[hersweetrevenge]

I've been awake since 5am and it's now 1037pm and I JUST crawled into bed. After a 7h shift, a 2h uni lecture, chores etc., I think even Lester would be chomping on his inner cheek wanting to tell me off about how this is e v e r y day. 😑 like:

"Y'better start takin' care o' yer'self, or I'm gonna be havin' words" is the threat, his dark eyes flashing. The twins watch on, arms folded and stood side by side in front of the door.

It's an intervention.

"Aren't you already doing that, honey?"

Lester is so worried that he's ANGRY and he doesn't soften at the pet name like he usually does. No, he HARDENS and he literally puts his foot down as he shifts his weight, defensive over you AGAINST yourself.

"Okay," Lester tries again, making visible efforts to calm down, "say th'shoe was on the other foot. What would ya' say, sweetpea?"

"I'd tell you to be more careful, that I'm proud but you should make more time for y - oh."

Lester looks towards Bo, eyebrows raised in disbelief, his tongue flicking across his inner cheek as he tries to hold his tongue. "The fuckin' NERVE - "

Bo nods in agreement, sighs, and you see Vincent's eye rolling from behind his mask.

They'll try again tomorrow but the result is always the same. You work too hard, they worry, they intervene, you promise to do better, you somehow fail in that, they worry, they intervene...

(Just wanted to share a half baked fic idea! I genuinely think if you manage to piss Lester off to the point where he stands up against you FOR you, that they collectively decide to stage an intervention. I'd get at least one every two days but it's all to make them proud😩😭🥺)

erika you are probably the busiest and most dedicated person i know !!

an intervention would be staged immediately. (i'm about to stage an intervention you too, at this rate! 💖)

the sinclairs love to be busy, they have their jobs and hobbies to be getting on with which are both very important to not Spiral when living in ambrose, but they also value down time a lot. like sure, they live in a ghost town surrounded by bodies, but a guys gotta relax once in a while.

Normal Family Time (the only good nft) is very important to the, especially bo and lester, so the minute you try to skip out on it to keep working? oh no you're not you will sit on the couch and watch them play pool if its the last thing you do.

because the twins are Like That™, it would definitely be lester who first notices you're excessive working first. he's worried about you and, in turn, mad at bo and vincent for not manhandling you away from your desk yet.

they have a pre-intervention meeting in the kitchen to plan the rest of the evening:

1. stern talking to (lester)

2. nice talking to (vincent)

3. indifferent-but-secretly-the-most-worried talking to (bo)

4. dinner (your favourite, courtesy of chef lester)

5. tv (this is for you, but good luck getting any say whatsoever about what to watch, bo and vincent have a system that is not to be disrupted, lest the whole house fall into chaos)

6. cuddles until you fall asleep (which you will be doing, they'll make sure of it)
