soft bookernile things:

Nile kisses him on the top of his nose to get him to shut up if he’s rambling

Nile uses both her hands to encase one of his when they’re out and about.

The Guard catches Nile laying on top of Booker watching old Madeleine cartoon episodes(I mean she is a 90s baby so she totally watched it) and started calling Booker “Pepito”.

Nile steps in and is like, “Booker is blonde, so Pepito doesn’t really work. We really should be calling him Tintin.”

Booker lifting Nile up so she doesn’t ruin her shoes stepping in a dirty puddle.

Booker using his jacket to cover Nile when rain rolls in unexpectedly, to not get her hair wet.

On the rare occasion Nile isn’t simply just sitting on his lap, when they do set sit side by side, he always pulls one of her legs onto his lap and places a firm hand on her knee.

Nile(getting better and better at her hacking skills) send a computer virus on Booker’s birthdays. Normally a bunch of cat photos and videos imploding on the screen.

They’ve been hoping country to country for date night going to museums, with Booker pointing out art that’s fake and he personally forged.(Booker proudly brags that 87% of the art at the Musée Marmottan Monet is fake, which Nile calls bullshit on. On their 15th anniversary she walks into the house and it’s filled with Monet’s ACTUAL work.)

Me, writing a Booker/Nile fic based of the karaoke scene from sense 8: no I’m not crying

himbo Booker cooking Nile bouillabaisse, and the entire time she’s eating it she calls it gumbo and it makes his eye twitch

Omg, now all I think about is ‘Madeline’ and ‘TinTin’ being their code names🤣

Oh of course! And Nile totally doesn’t mind, because what little girl didn’t want to be Madeline. She was a precocious adventurous badass, with a heart of gold.

However, Booker was over being called TinTin, as soon as it started. And it’s be bad enough if they kept calling him that, when they where just relaxing at the safe house, but no they said it everywhere they went.

Grocery stores, gas stations, and on missions:

“Hey TinTin, don’t forget to grab Andy some Cap n Crunch! She’ll kick our ass if we forget again.”

“TinTin, it’s your turn to pay. Put $30 on number seven.”

“Alright guys, he’s heading out the back exist. TinTin, he’s all yours.”

“Fuck off!”

“We don’t have time for this, take the shot!

“Then ask politely.”

“Sebastien, please shoot the drug smuggler that’s escaping right before our very own eyes.”

“That’s more like it, Yusuf you fucking asshole.”

But Joe being the biggest troll ever ruins it, when he starts calling Nicky ‘Pepito’ which ends with him sleeping on the couch for three days. After that, code names were dropped.

Book of Nile fic idea:

Nile and Booker had a casual friends with benefits relationship, and when Nile gets knocked up Booker walks out on her. He thinks he’s not ready to be a father after losing his sons when they where very young. Three years go by and he bumps into Nile and their daughter, and realizes he wants to be there. Wants to be father and good (partner?husband?) to Nile.
