#touch starved Gavin

[marsidotcom]

thinking about nines just finding any excuse to have his hands on gavin- he looks relatively tired? piggyback.

it’s cold? he’s huddled up to gavin, elbows linked.

his hair is mused with sleep? he’s brushing through loose curls with careful fingers and flattening the sides for him at the kitchen counter while gavin nurses a mug of coffee.

working over lunch at the DPD? (pre-absolution) nines is thumb-swiping crumbs from the corners of gavin’s mouth, despite gavin’s “disgruntled” whining and shoving at his hands.

they’re swimming over the summer? nines is armed with a bottle of sunscreen and nagging him about it until gavin caves and lets his lover rub the lotion into scarred, slightly freckled shoulders and as a result, gently rouse a now half asleep gavin, basking in the sun and nine’s caring touch.

I am still bullying the Professor lol sorry mate it's just too much fun

(more under cut) (in which it gets stupid hahaha)

Sorry Polly you really do just have the best reactions hahaha (I need ref for Blackquill agh)

[risarchives]

freelancer's longing for touch and company really came out when gavin was literally crossing lines and hugging them from the back in a very flirtatious manner in the studying audio and the first thing they say is, you're warm.

Addicted to your touch

Summary:

Nines realizes how he reacts to Gavin's touch and wonders what is wrong with him.

ON AO3 Rating G - 955 words

"You look like something's bothering you." 

Gavin came out of the bathroom, a towel around his waist and drying his hair with another. Nines was sitting against the headboard looking straight ahead. Gavin had noticed all evening that Nines seemed lost in thought from time to time. Intermittently his LED was flickering between blue and yellow.

Seeing that he wasn't reacting, Gavin insisted, "I don't even need your super android abilities to see that you're troubled. What are you thinking about?"

Nines shook his head but didn't answer.

Gavin put down his towel and went to join him. He sat down next to him and, placing his hand on Nines' knee, asked again in a soft voice, "Tell me Nines. What's wrong?" 

Gavin saw that Nines was staring at his hand on his knee before he began to speak in a surprisingly hesitant voice, "Uh... I guess I was just thinking...".

Gavin moved his hand in a circular fashion over his knee, soothing him. Seeing his hesitation, which was so uncharacteristic of Nines, Gavin waited patiently for him to continue.

"Actually, that's just it. I'm confused by how much I really like...uh how much my body responds to... when you're affectionate, when you are touching me..." he added, lowering his eyes, embarrassed by his confession. He shook his head again and continued, "This is ridiculous... You put your arms around me or just put your hand like this on my knee, and I want to melt at your touch, and when you don't touch me anymore, I feel like a huge loss, it's so pathetic. What's wrong with me?" he mumbled to himself in a self-deprecating tone.

"Oh Nines, don't be hard on yourself. There's nothing wrong with you. In fact, I'm not surprised at all. I mean it makes sense to me. I guess your nature doesn't make you particularly tactile to begin with, not to mention that your function required a certain distance. I would say it's like now that you're a deviant, your body is now demanding its due. I'm explaining this to you in a human way, but I suppose you can translate it into more technical language."

Nines nodded, "Actually you mean my programming didn't design me for this but now that I can feel, my brain is transmitting to my sensors that this is something my structure needs?"

Gavin laughs softly, "Something like that. But let's forget the technical stuff, in your head..." He put his finger on Nines forehead, "Is this something you like or are you uncomfortable when I do this?"

He slid his hand against Nines' cheek.

Nines shook his head vigorously, "No, on the contrary, it's more like I always want more and I... I'm afraid it's you who finds me too clingy or something. That I'll make you uncomfortable."

Gavin let his hand linger on Nines cheek, who couldn't help but lean into it and said softly, "I don't mind at all, I'm even glad I'm the one giving it to you. I like the way you react. There's something beautiful about knowing that the attentions you have are so well received by the one you love. That your touch is welcomed and appreciated." Gavin took Nines' hand and kissed every knuckle of it.

He then slid Nines between his legs, his back against his chest and gently ran his fingers through Nines' hair. His lover's reaction was almost immediate. He nearly purred as he leaned his head into Gavin's hands.

Gavin chuckled softly, "See? Just like that. I give and you gladly receive. It's perfect, right?"  

They stayed like that in silence for a long moment, one giving and the other receiving. Then Nines whispered softly, "You can't imagine how overwhelmed I was the first time you held me. I wasn't ready for that flood of emotions brought on just by our bodies touching so intimately."

Gavin's hands froze slightly on his scalp.

"Gavin?"

Gavin cleared his throat, "Um...actually, I noticed it, but I figured if you wanted to talk about it, you would."

Gavin tightened his arms around Nines and spun him around in his arms so they were sitting face to face.

He said softly, seeing the embarrassed look on Nines' face, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. But at that moment, I wondered how touch-deprived your body was if a simple hug made you react like that."

Gavin raised a hand and placed it against Nines' cheek again, stroking it with his thumb and Nines leaned into Gavin's hand again.

Gavin asked softly, "Nines...can I kiss you? "

Nines nodded slowly and Gavin slowly moved closer. He pressed his lips to Nines'. He heard his lover moan into the kiss and Nines put his arms around Gavin's neck, pulling him even closer. The kiss intensified and Gavin lay back, pulling Nines with him. 

When they broke apart to catch their breath, Nines rolled onto his side and buried his face in Gavin's neck as he slipped his arm around his shoulders.

Nines whispered softly, "Thank you for giving me what I need."

Gavin kissed the top of his head, "Love, I can only do this because you let me."

Nines hummed into his neck in response, pressing a light kiss to his throat. Gavin traced meaningless curves over Nines' shoulder and gradually he felt his lover's head grow heavy on his shoulder, a sign that he had gone into sleep mode.

Gavin deposited a light kiss on his head then tightened his arm around his shoulders, reveling in the sensation of the warm body against him, trusting and surrendering. Aware of the value of this moment, he also allowed himself to drift off to sleep.

Gavin gives hands on waist or thigh energy to me. Like he's always has to have his hand on your waist or when you're sitting together, he has his hand on your thigh almost always. Stands behind you when you're looking at yourself in the mirror and moves his hands down your waist, hips and thighs then back up. Probably giving you neck kisses or whispering in your ear about how much he wants to fuck you. Or if he's feeling soft that day, he just tells you how beautiful you are. Idk lol

[ilywrites]

Chest, Ass or Thighs?

A/n - Hi! This is what i think the DBH characters preference’s would be between your tits, ass or thighs. I know I said I wouldn’t write smut but I don’t exactly see this in that way? But if it is seen as suggestive or anything let me know!

Characters used - Connor, Gavin, Ralph, Markus.

Warnings - None!

—————————

CONNOR

—————————

• I think he would be a chest guy.

• Coming home from a long day at work, and lying down on your chest to relax.

• He would love it even more if you were to rake your hands through his hair, causing him to melt into you even more than he already has.

• If you tried to get up he would 100% tighten his arms around you.

“Connor, I need to make dinner.” You chuckle out at the man who’s practically glued to you right now. Eyes shut while taking deep and long breaths, letting out occasional sighs. (Do androids even breathe?)

“Dinner can wait, it isn’t that late.” He pauses “Actually. It is pretty late.” He says after opening his eyes to check the time. “I’ll order takeout for you, what would you like my love” He says after thinking over it and deciding he doesn’t want to get up and probably won’t for a while.

—————————

GAVIN REED

• Gavin is an ass guy 100%

• No doubt in my mind he would pull some shit like smacking it as he walks by you.

• You could be standing in the kitchen making food and he’d walk past and SMACK. No matter how many times you spin around and hit him back he still laughs at your reaction and continues to do it.

• If you and him worked together you would be in the break room making coffee. Then all of a sudden fell someone smack the piss out of your ass.

• You would already know who it is from the howl of laughter because of your body’s reaction from the smack before you even turn around.

“Gavin you ass! I’ve told you to stop that!” You say spinning around and hitting his arm. He is laughing too much to care. “Oh come on babe, it’s funny!” He says still smiling slyly. “Plus you love it when I do it. You just haven’t admitted yet.” He says coyly while grabbing his drink and taking his leave.

—————————

MARKUS

————————

• If I’m being honest I think he would be both a chest and thigh guy.

• Just the thought of laying on you, no matter what it is he is laying on, is so comforting to him.

• If you have stretch marks on your thighs he would be the kind of person to trace them and kiss them, especially if you’re insecure about them.

• He would come up to you and just lay down on your lap with a sigh, then wait for you to start brushing your hand on his face like you usually do.

• I can see him being pretty touch starved so any physical touch would do, plus the likes the way you look at him while he lays on you.

You hear the door open and see Markus come in with a tired look on his face. You look up from your phone and watch as he comes and sits next to you saying a quiet “Hi darling” With a kiss. You smile and kiss his cheek “Hi love, you okay?” You ask analyzing his expressions.

“Yeah, just exhausted from the past few weeks.” He says, he looks at your lap and slowly lays his head down onto it. You smile at him with loving eyes and begin to trace his features with gentle fingers. He sighs and relaxes, his face going from a tense and scrunched expression to a relaxed smile.

—————————

RALPH

—————————

• This man is a thigh person in and out and you can’t change my mind.

• He would LOVE to lay on your lap while you play with his hair after you’ve been at work all day.

• Or when he just needs a break and is feeling stressed, if you’re not busy he is laying on your thighs in an instant.

• I dont think he would only enjoy laying his head on them either, especially whenever he wants to feel safe and secure. I can see him loving when you allow him to sit in your lap and stay for as long as he wants.

Ralph walks around the quiet house making his way to your shared bedroom. He peaks in the room and sees you at your desk probably working on something. He slowly walks up to you and stops at your side “Can Ralph sit in your lap?” He asks rather bluntly.

You look up at him. “Oh! Yeah, Of course!” You say with a smile, pushing your chair out from the desk and spinning it towards him. He crawls into your lap, putting his head in the crook of your neck. You rub his back soothingly while you continue to do whatever you were doing. He melts under your touch and relaxes more and more, he loves moments like this.

[empydoc]

have some random headcanons if you please

i feel like asher’s the obvious type to smile whilst kissing his partner but i also entertain the idea that david does it too, especially if he’s had a shit day prior

avior has sharp teeth ,,

when walking beside sunshine, elliott holds out his hand with his palm facing them for them to hold. (sunshine finds it funny that he doesn’t verbally ask, but instead asks thru this gesture)

blake did his nails black like last month and they’re all chipped and shitty now but he doesn’t really care

gavin wears gold

touch starved? anton, obviously. less obviously, james (is all over his partner when he gets home /nsx)

lasko owns one of those huge fucking american ass water bottles that holds SO much fucking water.

when at work, guy actively seeks things that remind him of his partner (and it’ll be the weirdest shit, too)

vincent owns/owned one of those ‘kiss the cook’ aprons (lovely does/did always take him up on such a thing)

big hands aaron . aaron w big hands. hands ? aaron

i like to think hush sits on chairs like L (from death note) does … accurate? no. funny? yes.

[abstract-bathroom]

I have a rotating idea in my mind.

So Alistair is definitely not used to physically affection unless it comes from Hendry, and Gavin literally would melt if someone so much and touched his shoulder. So while yes they are touch starved- They don't know how to touch- right-?

For example I don't think they cuddle, I think Alistair kinda just clings onto Gavin like a scared cat and Gavin just smiles lovingly

[biteforblood]

[ HEADCANONS #1 ] various.

✶ notes : gn!reader, fluff, sillies being silly, cursing, brief mention of blood / bugs, 0.4k

gavin is always whispering close in fl’s ears, especially at the most inconvenient times ( e.g. doing the dishes, on the phone — specially important calls, studying, … ) they’ve gotten in the habit of holding him at arm’s length like ya hold a kid back by their head

( pre-turning ) when vincent was running low on energy ( i.e. in need of blood ), he would hang off of lovely. that, or push his face into their neck and gently nip at the skin; not so hard as to draw any blood ( not without permission first ) but not so light that they couldn’t feel it

asher adores wearing skirts — especially with fishnets or thigh highs underneath. the shorter the skirt, the better. he knows he looks hot and he is going to flaunt it

also also, speaking of asher in skirts, you cannot tell or convince me otherwise that he doesn’t love fucking around with gender norms / gendered clothing ( same goes for guy 100%, these bitches would trade outifts, ideas, tips )

caelum randomly head butts people like a ram. not like super hard, but like a little nudge, like a little ‘bamp!’ y’know…that, once or twice, has knocked the wind outta people…it’s fiiine

damien and huxley are plant dads to so so…so many plants. and, yes, huxley has given them all names, some more serious than others, and yes again, he refers to them as such, and yes yet again, he will tell you all their names and why he chose it just for that plant

anton loves bugs — moths, butterflies, ladybugs, spiders, all the bugs and crawlies. he can identify nearly every single one and knows most of their latin names

the second sweetheart or milo so much as sits or lays down — on the couch or on their bed, whether to do work or relax, wherever and whatever the reason — aggro is jumping up onto them and laying down. could be snuggled in their lap or loafed on their back, he is there. if he’s not right on top of them, he’s right up next to them

furthermore, aggro will not move until he is happy and ready to. if they try to move him, he will cry until a) they stop or b) they stop. there is no other way, sweetheart or milo is stuck

honey is not a very touchy person ; they never really have been. they’ll share hugs with friends and family, but even then it’s slim and anyone outside of that is only slimmer

and then guy, mr. touchy-touch-starved himself, popped into their life and, slowly but surely, honey grew to like physical touch and affection. they’re still not super comfortable with touch, but with guy…they’ve found themselves craving it juuust a little bit, not that they’ll ever really admit it

Sleepy Gavin Head Canons

• Gavin sleeps fully clothed. Absolutely, unequivocally, incontrovertibly. wink-wink

• That being said, one of Gavin’s favourite things is to see his partner wearing his clothes. Call it basal or patriarchal or whatever, but Gavin loves the knowledge that his partner is his. He also loves when he gets it back and it smells of them.

• He also really enjoys getting ready for bed together with his partner. Brushing their teeth together, washing their faces together, showering together

• Gavin’s favourite cuddle position is whatever you want it to be. No, seriously. The man just wants some cuddles. In any capacity. Just give him cuddles, any cuddles, he will take them.

• Gavin also loves having his hair played with, he finds it really cute.

• Another thing Gavin really enjoys: having his fingers played with. Am I head-cannoning that a freakin’ incubus is touch starved? Absolutely I am. He treasures every second.

• Gavin also loves giving and receiving light touches. He or his partner tracing patterns on the different parts of their body. Lightly tracing circles on their hips, arms, back, etc. Barely touching, almost a little ticklish.

• Gavin has become something of an expert in conveying love through touch. His hand weaving through his partner’s hair, rubbing their back, rubbing his partner’s hand with his thumb while he holds them, you can absolutely feel the endless love he has with every touch.

• When he and his partner settle in for the night, Gavin spends some time kissing them, touching them, and holding them. Trying to convey the best he can through actions just how much they mean to him and how grateful he is to have them.

• Gavin tends to run quite hot. This can especially be felt through his lips.

• If his partner is coming home late, Gavin makes a point to lay on their side of the bed so it’s warm for them when they get in.

• If his partner has a nightmare, Gavin will gently wake them up, reassuring them and, once he has permission, will pull them onto his chest, stroking their hair with one hand and rubbing their back with the other while placing soft kisses on their forehead. At times like these, Gavin prefers to let his actions do the talking. He’ll also stay awake for a while after they fall back to sleep to make sure they’re ok.

• If Gavin has a nightmare, he can hide it extremely well. His nightmares aren’t so much as upsetting as they are disorienting. Gavin will hold his partner closer, burying his face in their neck and using touch to ground himself. Gavin isn’t comfortable discussing his nightmares so it’s usually best not to pry. The best way to comfort Gavin after a nightmare is just to silently cuddle him and give soft kisses. Gavin generally needs a long time, sometimes almost an hour, before he’s ready to go back to sleep. If his partner falls back to sleep before him, Gavin still finds comfort in holding them and watching them sleep.

• Call it a trope but Gavin loves making and eating breakfast together. He also insists on filling his partner’s plate because “with how many calories you brunt last night, I think you can afford a little treat.”

I have simply the most unhinged and deranged thought and theories about Regulus. Spoilers for the early access below!

I think Regulus is old. Very, old. Vega-old.

I think Regulus once knew the touch of the Sovereigns. I think E'latum's light and power and heat once fueled Regulus, and now that they're gone, he's been hunting for that same power ever since. But he can't find it - he keeps thinking he's found it, in a certain human, over and over again, and he tries to find that same intensity of power, but no human emotion does it for him anymore.

Even if he's not that old, he's clearly suffering so intensely, in such a terrifying way. He's obsessed, he's deranged. The way he mentioned "A realm that wasn’t mine, a form that didn’t fit," like being on Elegy hurts him. He doesn't want to be here. He doesn't want to feed on the Listener (do they have a nickname? Mine? Victim?). He keeps needing and needing and the more he pushes I think there's less emotion he can feed on and he's starving and that's only making him worse.

This gets me to a question I've had about Empathy Daemons for a while. All the other d(a)emons have a specific set of emotions they feed on - Serenity seems to be peace, relaxation; Sadism is hatred, aggression, maybe even fear and pain; Concubi are lust, sexual pleasure, sexual desire; etc. But all d(a)emons are empaths, no? They all are fueled by and sense emotion; we even see how Gavin was overwhelmed by the emotions in the Ward during the Inversion, how the pain and terror almost tore him apart. They can all sense all emotions - what specifically do Empathy Daemons need? In Caelum's case, it seems like "good" feelings - happiness, joy, even some of the Serenity peace and calmness. Emotions like pain and fear and distress impact him even more negatively than others. If he's our template for an Empathy Daemon, what does that tell us about Regulus?

His Listener certainly isn't happy, joyful, or at peace. He routinely assaults them to bring sexual pleasure, but can he feed on that? Gavin said d(a)emons can't make someone feel an emotion - he can amplify emotions, he can temporarily take them away, and we know d(a)emons can alter, destroy, and create memories.

But the Listener is still fighting. They struggle against him. Even though they have no memory of Crux saving them thanks to Regulus, they still believe and hope and hold on to his voice. They are trying to escape Regulus. What emotions could he possibly be consuming from them by now? And if their emotions are impacting Regulus, "blurring the lines," couldn't some of their desperation and fear be making him even worse? Regulus is driving them both to the edge of destruction, and at this point, I have no idea if either of them can possibly be saved

No girl on the boat

I wanted to Young Carl x Reader story, I couldn’t find any, so I wrote one. 

No girl on the boat.

It was the rule.

Well, there was Felicity, the cook, but they needed her so they wouldn't starve, and she was a lesbian, so it didn't count.

There had been Marianne, but that didn't count either, because she had quickly left after breaking Carl's little heart.

The others said it was a good thing, a rite of passage. He had only known her for three hours, he couldn't really say that he had suffered because she preferred Dave. Even if it was maybe a little vexing for him that she preferred Dave.

     "What do you want me to say ? That little one has good taste ! Young Carl, you're too young. Your time will come soon. But for now, you still have your hand."

There were also some fans who were invited when they were bored, but they weren't allowed to stay more than one night.

Then Y/N came.

DJ Gavin Kavanagh didn't ask anyone for permission to invite her or put her in a cabin. She arrived during a calm afternoon, with her big smile and her suitcases.

     "She's not my daughter, but she's like my daughter." Gavin explained with a very serious look that was not like him. "Well, maybe she's my daughter, I don't know, I was quite close to her mother, but it doesn't matter. There are three important women in my life, my mother, my sister , and Y/N. So nobody touches her, got it ?"

Of course, this made everyone want to approach the young woman. Nothing was more exciting than a forbidden fruit.

It was risky, because if Quentin had no problem with the fact that his niece had been fucked by one of the crew members, DJ Kavanagh claimed to be ready to throw overboard the first who tried something, and that he would then prevent him from getting back on the boat.

Even though he loved sex and freedom, he seemed really, deadly, serious about it.

It lasted a short week, before the team understood that Y/N was not at all interested in them anyway. She was mainly there for the music, to be with the one she called "Uncle Gavin" and to have some sort of adventure.

She did, however, talk a lot with Carl.

It was probably due to the fact that he was the youngest of them, the quietest, the nicest, and he was the only one who didn't seem to have any weird thoughts about her.

It was not true. 

He was just very good at hiding them, scared by the prospect of drowning in the middle of the English Channel, of being rejected by a girl again, but also that when he got to know her he really started to like her a lot. Y/N, and not just because she was the only girl on the boat.

In addition to the music, there were many things they shared with passion. Y/N was there for Carl, she listened to him without judging him, she was sweet, funny, intelligent, perfect. How not to fall in love ? But he had to hide it, which wasn't easy on a boat, surrounded by fools.

The others teased him a lot about it.

     "Gavin will kill you if he sees you with her." The Count reminded him.

     "We're just friends."

     "Yeah, 'friends'. Like Kavanagh is friend with her mother. Watch out, really. I mean, I get it. She's cute. But it's not worth trying an emergency defloration under these conditions."

     "Thanks Dave."

     "You're welcome. I can call Marianne if you want. Even if you were boring, she said you were alright."

     "Thanks Dave."

DJ Doctor Dave seemed to think this was an endorsement, and with Quentin's agreement, Marianne made a comeback. It was quite embarrassing to see her again, especially now that Y/N was here.

Everyone was watching Young Carl, waiting to see what he was going to do. The answer was nothing. He was no longer interested in Marianne at all, and he wasn't going to try anything with Y/N, but this pressure was beginning to weigh on his shoulders.

One evening, Marianne approached him when he was alone on deck. She apologized for what had happened with Dave, saying she couldn't explain why she had acted like this, probably because he was a bit famous, but she really wanted to be with Carl now.

Without waiting for his response, she kissed him, and that was when Y/N opened the door.

Time seemed to freeze for a moment, then Y/N looked sad, quickly going back where she came from. Carl pushed Marianne gently to follow her and hold her in one of the corridors.

     "You don't need to explain to me, Carl." Y/N sighed without looking at him. "She seems very nice."

     "She doesn't interest me."

     "Really ? Not even for an emergency deflowering in good conditions ?"

She had heard that. Of course she heard that, they were on a small boat, there was no privacy.

Not wanting her to be wrong about him, Carl moved close enough to force her to look at him, but without touching her.

     "She doesn't interest me at all. I... I don't care about any of this since... Since you arrived. I know nothing will happen between us, and not just because Gavin has forbidden it. You're so... You're awesome. You deserve better than me, and either you already know it and you're gonna tell me we're just friends, or you don't know it yet and it can't end well. There are the others too. Gavin will kill me, and the rest of the band will be hellish. With me, but also with you, and if I don't care what they think about me, I refuse to let them laughing at you, I don't want them..."

If Marianne's kiss wasn't bad, although Carl hadn't really paid attention to it, Y/N's was wonderful. Tender and passionate, making him shut up and forget the world around him. He wished she would never stop kissing him, but when she did, he didn't move.

     "Uncle Gavin doesn't forbid me anything. I don't care about the others. And you're not that bad."

Not knowing what to say, he nodded stupidly, which made her laugh, then he let her take him to her cabin. They did nothing. Or rather they spent part of the night lying face to face on the bed, looking at each other, kissing and talking, until they fell asleep.

Carl thought that was probably much better than sex. Or just as good, at least. And he hoped to fall asleep alongside Y/N until the end of his days.

It was likely to happen very quickly, since they were on a small boat and there was no privacy. The next morning, when he opened the door, the whole crew was there, looking at him with pride, and a lot of fear.

In the middle of the group, DJ Kanavagh did not share the general emotions, staring at him behind his sunglasses. Slowly, he pushed Carl to look inside the cabin, the bed, where Y/N was still sleeping, then he grabbed the collar of his t-shirt to drag him outside.

The others followed them, trying to calm him down, but without really stopping him. DJ Gavin had been very clear, so they couldn't intervene on young Carl's behalf. They didn't think he was really serious about not getting back on the boat either, but they followed just in case, to see the show and get the poor idiot back up after.

     "Uncle Gavin ! Uncle Gavin, no !"

Carl's screams had finally woken up Y/N, the only one who really tried anything to stop it all, holding Gavin's arm and begging him again and again.

     "You had to touch her. You had to disrespect her. Why ? Why did you need to do that ? For fun ? To win a bet ?"

     "No ! We didn't do anything !"

     "Of course, two young people in a bed. I'm not stupid."

     "We didn't do anything ! I love her !"

That finally stopped Gavin, as they were on deck and only a few steps left to throw Carl overboard without a hitch. Taking advantage of his confusion, Y/N stood between them, taking her lover in her arms, ready to follow him into the water.

     "... You love her ?"

     "Yes I do." Carl repeated firmly, not lowering his eyes.

Very calmly, DJ Kavanagh pulled out his sunglasses, wiping them with his shirt, before pinching his nose and turning his attention to Y/N with what looked like the look of an emotional and concerned father.

     "And you ? Do you love him too ?"

    "Yes."

     "... Good. Fine. That changes everything. But if you hurt her, you're dead." Gavin sighed, pointing a finger at Carl before leaving them.

The others decided they could finally congratulate the couple, not believing them at all when they repeated that they had done nothing. Quentin asked if they should plan another wedding, and if the young man had made sure that she really loved him, and not that she was there for someone else.

Nobody found it amusing, except Dave.

The rule remained the same after that. No girl on the boat.

Marianne was gone for good, Felicity still didn't count, and Y/N wasn't a girl. She was Gavin's protegee and young Carl's girlfriend, a member of the team and a favorite of the listeners, who loved to hear what the couple had been up to during the day, or the night.

Many times, Carl had begged them to stop this column, Radio Rock's loved birds, but it was a lost cause. It wasn't that bad.

In his bed, Y/N embraced him tenderly, repeating to him that they didn't care what other people thought before kissing him, and he forgot everything else.

Gavin: I can't decide if I need 50 cups of coffee or a month's worth of sleep.

Nines: How about a hug? :D

Gavin:

Gavin, touch starved: Fine.

Every Reed900 fic is like

Nines: *is patching up one of Gavin's wounds*

Gavin, internally: his hands are surprisingly warm. I didn't think androids would have warm hands. They're like... A human's hands. And they're soft. I haven't felt anything this warm and soft since my father cheated on my mom and she died. It's been a while. That's why I'm having this reaction. Not because I liKe Nines. I'm just touch starved, that's all. I hate androids. But god he's so hot. But I'm not attracted to him. I just like when he touches me. But not because of him, just because I'm touch sta-

And I fucking love it hagdkfskshsj
