more about my CG Argyle (Stranger Things) + little Elliot (Mr. Robot) head canon, because I am obsessed..
(tagging @froggy-clubhouse again, because he gets me)
At first, their like super awkward, Elliot doesn't trust Argyle, because he doesn't know him all that well. And Argyle, just knowing glimpses of his past, is overly cautious as to not scare Elliot away. This results in Argyle often stammering/ blabbering incoherent sentences and Elliot just looking at him like: "What the hecc is his problem? What does he want? Why is he so weird? Is he hiding something?"
But!!! After just a few weeks of hanging out (Argyle got notified by Eddie, whenever Elliot hung out with them and would find an excuse to 'stop by') they basically became inseparable!
Elliot feels safe with his CG and not only enjoys cuddling with him, he even initiates physical contact. Argyle is so proud, every time he noticed his Kiddo coming out of his shell a little more and he adores his dude so much. Seriously, he would die for this kid.. It's just heart eyes whenever he looks at him, so, SO much love and affection! <3
Elliot generally seems happier and way less stressed, no matter if he's regressed or not. (especially when Argyle is around)
Argyle, aswell as Eddie and Steve, also teach Elliot that stimming is completely normal and nothing weird to be ashamed of... He's trying to unmask, bit by bit, he is getting there, it just takes time. They are still so proud of him!
Also, this is little Elliot, every time he sees his best friend and play pal Stevie... No, really.. Every. Single. Time. No matter if one of them just had to go potty real quick, when they reunite it's always exactly this overly excited energy... He's the cutest!
Stevie didn't show up on time (he was 3 min late because Eddie couldn't figure out the buttons on his darn pumpkin costume) Elliot already prepared himself to be stood up and disappointed but tried to play it cool Infront of Argyle. The ladder obviously saw right through his little muffin and assured him that they would come as planned, while already typing an angry message to Eddie for worrying his baby. However, he deleted the message, because the doorbell rung, before he was even able to send it.
So all was good in the end!
(I actually might try drawing little Pumpkin Stevie and Vampire Elliot, because this mental image is just so heccing cute.. I can't-)
