my personal headcanon for rufus and bobby is that rufus is gay and always had somewhat of a kind-of crush on bobby. not the full blown crush that makes you ache with want, more like "i'd fuck you if you asked". we've all had a best friend we'd fuck if they wanted. right? anyway rufus is totally normal about it. he flirts sometimes, for laughs. because it's fun to watch bobby get all flustered and stumble over his words. and bobby is totally fine with rufus being gay but he's not gay himself but like. maybe you don't have to be gay to be curious about kissing your best friend. gay, straight, what does it all mean anyway? all he knows is that when rufus joke-flirts with him he feels his stomach twist, in a good way. which doesn't mean anything. he's just flattered by the attention he's getting. except maybe when he's had a little more to drink than usual he catches himself staring at rufus's mouth when he's talking to him. and maybe he wonders what it would be like to kiss him. rufus has very full lips, and he thinks it would feel nice. and he's pretty sure rufus wouldn't mind. he's not stupid, he knows rufus sorta kinda likes him. in a best friend way. a gay best friend way. so what if he asked? and he does, except the words that come out of his mouth are "would you suck my cock if i asked?". and rufus stares for a second then shrugs and says "sure. are you asking?" and bobby thinks about it for a second but he's too drunk to really care about what this means for his sexuality. he's sleepy and he's curious and so he says "uhuh. i think i am. if you're down." and so he gets his cock sucked by his best friend. and it feels really good. nothing special about it, except it's his best friend. and well, if his best friend can be a good hunting partner, emotional support, AND give him a nice little blowjob after a difficult week, well. what more can he ask for, really. and sometimes he repays the favour, which feels weird at first but, well, when he thinks about it, he chops vampires' heads off for a living. this is actually the most normal thing he's done in a while. and sometimes after a hunt, after they've killed the monster, when they're left panting and full of adrenaline, one of them will kiss the other. not in a slow, sensual way. more in a passionate, "thank you for doing this with me" way. they'll grab the other's face and plant a big, bold kiss on their lips. kind of the equivalent of a "good game" high five. but for best friends who regularly suck each other off.
