For Laurie @oh-snapperss for voting for my beloved captainsparklez, I give you - Ethubs fluff
The house was impressive to Etho, but the same was true of everything Bdubs built. He watched the windmill go around until the sight of the man himself caught his eye. God was the moss cloak and instead he wore a snazzy button up vest and shirt. Etho felt a smile come to his face.
“All dressed up for me?” he asked, pulling Bdubs into a brief kiss as he made his way to him.
“I’ll have you know I’m all dressed up always, thank you very much,” Bdubs said in his usual boisterous voice. Etho hummed happily and nodded his head, though he wasn’t sure if he was agreeing or just happy to hear Bdubs’s voice.
“I’m not used to you being gone for so long.” Etho let Bdubs take his hand and lead him down the path and into the home; small though it was, it was well decorated and it was very clear that Bdubs knew how to use the space.
“I haven’t been gone that long! You disappear for longer all the time!” He looked at Etho over his shoulder and grunted as he ran into something. He turned back to glare at the block that dared to get in his way as Etho began amazed wandering through Bdubs’s abode.
He was quiet for a moment before he turned to look back at Bdubs and grinned. “So, what’re we calling this, huh? Pretty…gears? Conveyor belts?” he asked with a snort. Bdubs joined him in the chuckle, coming up to his side and locking their arms together.
“Something like that. But you should see what Zedaph and Tango and Scar and Keralis all did – Trains, Etho! Giant steam factories – houses on wheels or made of this – wild spinning cube. This is nothing,” he said, waving his hand dismissively. Etho looked around the room and shook his head.
“Doesn’t look like nothing to me,” he said, pulling his mask down only briefly to sneak a kiss on Bdubs’s stunned lips.
The shorter man sputtered and blushed, burying his head in Etho’s shoulder with a smile hidden on his lips. Etho smiled too, hiding his face back behind his mask, and nudging Bdubs with his shoulder. “Come on, I wanna see more of your stuff. Tango told me you had a really cool thing with a gunpowder farm?” He watched Bdubs eyes light up and knew he had him, hook, line, and sinker.
