He's Not Good At That Griddy Bro

Bro.

I am a creature

The secret to a long lasting relationship is finding someone who hates leaving their comfort zone and then wiggle your way in there. You wiggle your way right inside their comfort zone and then you're there. By the time they notice you're there, they'll just sigh like "oh great, now there's a creature in here", but they don't want to move out of their comfort zone, and tossing you out of there would now alter the air pressure and constitution of the comfort zone too abruptly and it would pop like a bubble.

That's how you keep a relationship. You weasel your way inside someone's comfort zone and make yourself an essential component of it, so now they, too, will have to make sure that your dumb ass stays in there. Their comfort zone now has a fucking creature in it, and it's not going to be the same comfort zone if the creature isn't there.

SO CUTE OMG

lovely little domestic prompts

feel free to use! :)

running their love interest a bath after a long work day

covering the sharp part of the table when they pass so they don’t hit their hip

“your mom is coming over today.” “tell her to bring fried rice or she’s not invited.” “you tell her, she’s your mom.” “but she likes you more!”

deciding together how they want their house to look

painting their child’s room together

“i meant it when i said i wanted to start a family with you.”

baby-proofing everything not because they have a child or are planning for one but because one character is clumsy as hell and the other is a worried mess alllll the time because of it

“wake up and come get breakfast, love.” “…. now…….. when i said yes to this whole marriage thing i thought we were on the same page and you understood when i said i don’t wake up before 6pm.” “i made hashbrowns.” “i’ll be right there.”

one character covering the other with a blanket when they fall asleep watching a movie on the couch

making tea or coffee for their love interest before bed (and just the fact that they know exactly how they like their tea and coffee swooon)

cooking anything together honestly, not even needing to ask where the items are because they’re so in tune and used to each other

“where’s the new coffee mix?” “i’ll tell you if you tell me where you put the keys?” “i TOLD you i don’t know where—”

long movie nights where one is in charge of the blanket and pillow fort and one is in charge of the snacks

them going on a short trip and one character nagging the other about bringing their allergy meds

nagging in general, frankly

“it’s your turn to do the dishes.” “let’s get a divorce.” “we aren’t married yet, my love.” “well we sure as hell aren’t getting married now.”

“i am one hundred percent content to stay with you on this couch until the end of time.” “that sounds pretty damn lovely to me.”

You know those fanfictions hit different when you have school the next day and it's already 3:45 am

I told a kid in my class the other day that it was going to be the year of the tiger! This kid is a kindergartner, five years old.

Usually there’s some interest when I bring this up, but this kid sort of sat with that for a couple minutes, expression settling into a thousand yard stare. Just as I was wondering if something was wrong, he looked at me with his haunted eyes and asked, in a tone of resignation: “When are the tigers coming?”

I had to quickly reassure him that the year of the tiger was like…an animal assigned to the year, and not another plague or natural disaster! Between the Covid, lockdowns, and huge flood of cicadas last year this child probably decided that this was in line with how the world worked and was mentally getting his affairs in order.
