#the point is helmet bonks as signs of affection

okay gentle helmet bonk kisses for Mandalorians who follow the Way

Brainrotting hard rn so here's more dottocapilone thoughts:

Since Pants can't realy reach Capitano's head enough to bonk his head as a sign of affection, he opts to simply grabbing a teaspoon and gently clanking it againts Capitano's helmet. 'Tano sometimes retrives the clank by tapping the corner of Pantalone's glasses, either with his finger or a teaspoon. (i feel like they both drink tea togheter when they get the time)

Pantalone shows his affection to both of them by gift giving, of course. He gets Capitano the fanciest, most high quality supplies for maintaining his armour or his weapons. Brushes, oils, cleaners, blade sharpeners you name it, anything his darling needs to keep his tools fresh and clean. For Dottore, he either gives him some extra funding for his experiments, gets him some realy nice dessert or buys him some newer lab equipment. He knows getting him clothes isn't realy worth it, as the Doctor most likely won't care too much to maintain them, plus his rather questionable fashion choices, so the only 'clothing' item he's getting him is a new handmade mask. He likes seeing at least some variety in his loves looks.

Capitano very much not being used to Pantalone's nicknames. I feel like he was utterly confused when Pantie started calling him "sweetie" or "darling" or whatever other sugary title he came up with. It's especaly strange to him considering how large and intimidating he is, to the point that getting called "baby" feels absolutely ridicilous. He gets used to it eventualy tho.

Dottore's love for Cap most likely started out as a form of fascination or curiousity. What he is, how he's so strong, is he even human and what not. He felt the need to just analyze him completely. Break him down on a scientific level. See what's inside, how and why it works, how can that something reacts to things and how it can be altered. He observed him from afar in a way animal reasearchers observe a newly discovered species, and somewhere in that research, he started feeling something a bit deeper. Just like Pantalone he definetly info dumps him with whatever he has on his mind.

Pantalone is the main guy when it comes to maintaining the two's hygeine. Not only does he need to force Dottore into a bathtub at least once a week like he's trying to shower a cat, but he also needs to make sure Capitano washes his hair(we're gonna assume he has some) well and doesn't use fucking hand soap for everything. Sure, ol' Caps shower routinely, but a single bar of fucking hand soap and nothing else is not enough for a man who spends most of his time in heavy armour. And it's especaly not good for his hair under that helmet of his. Pants helps him scrub his head all nice with fruit scented shampoo and conditioners, all while explaining how to use them correctly. He got both him and Dottore some moisturizers just to be safe too, tho he doubts they'll use them often.

Capitano is usualy the one who makes sure the others aren't working themselves to death. When he has the time he'll stop by their offices/labs and "chat" for a moment, and by that i mean he lets them nap right next to him, either on a sofa or on the cold tile floor of the lab with a few words being exchanged. Before leaving he'll gently remind them to take a break, tho there have been times where he had to vaguely threathen them to rest. He makes sure to have some food delivered to them, or he'll outright bring a small snack himself.

That's it for tonight, i will return👍

Oh dear, now I'm having my own thoughts, let me jump in on this:

Capitano is extremely protective of Pantalone in particular. Not only in a literal way, but he'll regularly ask Pantalone about his health (hc that Pantalone has a fairly weak constitution in this case) and even insist that Dottore check up on him. Capitano is always one to trust his gut, and when his gut is telling him that Pantalone has been looking a little too pale as of late... The Regrator is getting a check up and as much bed rest as feasibly possible, even if Capitano has to lay with/on him to get him to sleep. Bonus points if he can drag Dottore into bed too, Capitano is probably the only one of them with an actual sleep schedule.

Capitano and Dottore spar often- which gets messy when they both let go of their dignity and just start wrestling and biting each other. Dottore's chompers make some serious dents in Capitano's armor, but he's no match for a two-ton man on a mission, and usually ends up getting sat on until he calms down and pinkie-promises not to bite (he still bites Capitano out of spite anyways). Pantalone has walked in on them tearing into each other multiple times, it's safe to say that he nearly had a heart attack upon watching Capitano fold Dottore and throw him into a wall.

Pantalone and Capitano have tea together often. Dottore isn't civilized enough to sit through a nice cup of tea, especially when the conversation is polite, so Pantalone has to settle for Capitano instead. It's nice, especially when the two sit in silence and simply relish being in each other's company. Capitano always insists on pouring tea for Pantalone and himself, he claims that it's his duty (Pantalone is still trying to figure out what he means by that). Dottore occasionally drops by and sits in one of their laps, angry that they didn't invite him.

Capitano insists that he sharpens and takes care of Pantalone's daggers himself, and has even taken it upon himself to find the best weapons for the Regrator. Dottore can take care of himself, Capitano isn't all that worried about him, but Pantalone is the weakest of the three, and the Captain won't stand for it. While he would like to be by Pantalone's side at all times, he unfortunately has duties, making that impossible. Instead, he settles for chasing after the best and most expensive weapons across Teyvat, testing them himself to ensure their quality. In return, Pantalone slips a few poisons into the cups of people he knows the Captain doesn't like, just to do a little something for his considerate darling.

Dottore definitely collapses the second he gets back from work, which thrusts the task of washing him, getting him ready for bed, and making sure he doesn't suffocate himself in a pillow onto Capitano and Pantalone. Divide and conquer is their strategy of choice, Pantalone will take his sweet time washing every little part of Dottore with expensive oils and soaps, all while Capitano is preparing the bed and a gown for Dottore to stumble into. It's a team effort, and once Dottore is stowed away neatly, the two take time to wash each other thoroughly, especially considering the fact that ol' Cap tries to wash himself with hand soap. Pantalone will not allow it, even if it means dragging Capitano into the tub with him.

Pantalone has two rings, each engraved with the symbol of his darlings and some precious stones that remind him of them. Whenever anyone asks, he merely replies that they're for his husbands, which gets a dumbfounded expression out of the person who asked and said "husbands". Dottore is very cocky about it and flaunts the title, Capitano is still trying to recover from the fact that Pantalone considers him his husband. The two make sure to show their appreciation later, in their own ways (Dottore bites him).

Pantalone is the shortest and gets used as an armrest. This is not negotiable.

Dottore will actually agree to dress nicely if it means that they call him handsome. Especially by Capitano, who is not exactly known for dishing out compliments. Pantalone calling him "handsome boy" also helps, though the two have acquired suits more to Dottore's taste to coerce him even further. Pinstripes is definitely one of his favorite patterns, and Pantalone will spare no expense to acquire the most lavish suits with that exact pattern. Capitano is more focused on making sure Dottore stays warm with that twig of a body he has, always grumbling about furs and cotton grades.

I like to think that in this case, Dottore and Capitano were already a thing before, they looked at Pantalone one day and decided simultaneously that they wanted that one.

I'm honestly terrified of Capitano, hand soap on the hair???
