This headcanon/idea goes out to my fellow humans dying in the heat this summer:
During the summer the twins love going to the pool/beach- but they enjoy it in very different ways. Colt is the twin that’s always in the water; surfing, swimming, doing ill-advised cannonballs. Every time he gets out of the water he makes sure to give Ryland a show (he loves seeing his twin show off his body). Ryland is the opposite- enjoying the company while sunbathing or reading; sometimes Ryland prints out the latest scientific paper for some “light reading” by the water side. Of course Colt thinks his twin is a total smoke show- showing off his legs and arms while waiting for Colt to get out of the water.
Of course both of them love putting sunscreen on each other- anything that gives them an excuse to get their hands all over each other.
Bonus:
If they have kids (bio with one of them being ftm or adopted) they would turn into that meme with Chris hemsworth and RDJ and their kids at the beach- Colt tossing around their kids in the water like it’s nothing and Ryland carefully wrapping them in a towel

llllllove this oh my lord the mutual unaware thirst is so good. i like to imagine colt does the corny ass pushing himself out of the pool and combing his hair back shtick and ryland is so ashamed that it works on him
meanwhile colt’s getting distracted by ryland doing absolutely nothing because he so rarely shows skin that colt can’t help constantly glancing over and ending up staring for seconds to minutes at a time
and you KNOW colt specifically asks ryland to put sunscreen on him. it literally does not matter where. his face, his arms, his back, his legs… he’ll even pull out the puppy dog eyes if he has to (it’s rarely necessary, ryland will gladly take any excuse to feel up his brother’s muscles 🙂)
colt loves specifically when he gets to take off ryland’s glasses and carefully apply sunscreen on his cheeks and across the bridge of his nose because he can always sneak in a kiss at the end
i know exactly what you’re talking about with the chris hemsworth-rdj pictures, that is SO LITERALLY THEM. whoever colt is swinging by the ankle is giggling and laughing and squealing the entire time meanwhile ryland and the kid he is carefully keeping wrapped up and in the shade watch with similar looks of “i would never do that” exasperation 😭 like: “dad’s weird.” “yeah… he really is.”
