robert calling you sweetheart and if anyone's ever read the hunger games and sunrise on the reaping, i hope you know that robert's sweetheart would have as much meaning as much as haymitch's does. except in robert's case it's not platonic but romantic. if you get it, you get it.

sure, robert's said it here and there to tease you but it's a genuine term of endearment to him and it holds so much feeling of care and love that robert feels for you.

among all the terms of endearments he uses with you, it might seem the cheesiest but it's without a doubt the one he uses most to express how much you mean to him.

and don't even get me started on girl dad robert calling his daughter with you sweetheart :( he is the most gentle and loving man and father ever. he'd literally never call his baby anything else because nothing else feels right. maybe occasionally “my strong mecha princess" (his daughter would not accept anything else because she is a future hero AND princess at the same time). but mostly sweetheart.

flambae and waterboy. not just for their cute fire x water ship and the cool steam they make when they touch. (though, admittedly, yeah.. that's cool as fuck 🙏)

flambae and waterboy because they're so used to how their powers affect their everyday lives, affecting the people they love, affecting themselves. flambae is a dangerous, hot-headed mess. visi might have villain powers but, fuck, he does too. and he made a damn good use of it when he was a villain. having to learn how to live life with powers that activate during emotional moments if not properly controlled, being a growing kid and with anger issues. fuck. I think about flambae a lot. maybe because I see my anger in him.

i see my fear in waterboy, too. disgusted with himself and his body. hurting others around him, but majority of the time by accidents. similar to flambae, though unlike him it's by mistake most of the time (not that flambae accidently hurting someone with his powers hasn't happened before). forgetting about his own needs, normal and power-related because he's so used to caring for others, having to maneuver around the effects his powers have. how he wishes so bad to experience one day of his life without it, his powers, and yet— wants to be a hero so bad. not that a hero has to have powers to be one, of course. but I bet he'd feel a whole lot less confident without them.. more so than he already does.

flambae and waterboy learning to be vulnerable with one another. picking up the others habits and preferences and, as much as flambae doesn't like to admit it, theyre.. similar. they're really fucking similar and he doesn't know how to feel about that.

flambae and waterboy, if they ever got together or just closer in general (platonic or romantic), would end up being very touchy with eachother, I feel like. whether it'd be little things like shoulder bumping or hands brushing against eachother. or 'big' things, hugging, (definitely would start off with side hugs, flambae is also reluctant to do all of this.) kissing, hesd leaning on the others shoulder. the faint sound of steam coming off from their physical contact, just barely heard over the chatter and general chaos of SDN...

I think they're neat.

*hi I forgot to add. not only are they learning to be vulnerable with one another but they're also learning how to manage their anger issues with one another. because, yeah, waterboy has anger issues, too. I don't make the rules man 🤷‍♂️

Hear me out.

Flambae went to collage for engineering.

Robert and royd trynna tinker with the mech

They accidentally got some wires crossed and just straight up haven't noticed and are wondering what's wrong (like when u forget to plug something in after setting it up) they're tired and a little frustrated.

Enter flambae

he's just here to bug them thinking bout hiding something on them just to be an ass and then noticed what their doing and just asks why they have the flight stabilizers hooked up to weapons system and they're like" no we do- oh" and flambae just goes move and reroutes it through a bypass circut they already rigged up

"There you go now try"

Lights are all green. it worked.

Flambae just leaves and their just like "huh"

Eventually, Flambae gets tired of seeing Waterboy bringing his sad little soggy unseasoned lunches to work, so one day, he takes it upon himself to share some of his own lunch with him. Waterboy doesn't actually eat a whole lot, so it's fine. This is one of the days where Flambae actually had the motivation to cook for himself or had leftovers from a family party, instead of bringing takeout or stealing someone else's lunch out of the fridge, so it's a little clamshell container full of delicious, home-cooked Afghan cuisine.

Waterboy loves it. Flambae's a fantastic cook, and it's not often that Waterboy gets to enjoy a good home-cooked meal ever since he started having to take care of his grandma. He thanks Flambae over and over as he absolutely wolfs down his share with a huge smile. Flambae's still acting under the guise of "pity," but even if he'd never admit it out loud, his heart is undeniably melted by Waterboy's gratitude.

This turns into a cute unspoken thing where Flambae starts cooking specifically for Waterboy, bringing them both Tupperwares of Afghan home cooking every workday so that Waterboy always has something filling to eat between shifts. Sometimes, Flambae even brings stuff that Waterboy realizes took a LOT of prep time to actually make. Waterboy starts to feel a little guilty now—because by this point, it's become pretty obvious that Flambae's whole "Oh, I had leftovers" thing is a lie—but Flambae is stubborn, and never lets him say no.

Waterboy feels bad that Flambae is getting the short end of the stick in this deal, but that couldn't be further than the truth. Flambae loves cooking, and more than that, he loves receiving compliments on his cooking (to stroke his own ego), which the famously kind, genuine Waterboy provides in heartfelt earnest. Flambae enjoys telling Waterboy about his culture and the fond memories associated with each meal he makes for them both, and Waterboy is always a very good listener. He'll never admit this to anyone, but most of all, Flambae likes seeing Waterboy smile so genuinely knowing it's because of him, and he likes ensuring that Waterboy goes home with a full stomach because he's so self-sacrificial and also isn't the most financially well-off (since he has to handle all of his grandma's care needs on his own).

The rest of the Z-Team catches on quickly, and they tease Flambae SO HARD about it! Flambae doesn't even cook this much for Prism, and they all know Prism is his ride-or-die. Flambae has a hard time admitting his feelings even to himself, though, so it's almost like everyone else at SDN knows Flambae and Waterboy are a thing... except for Flambae and Waterboy themselves.

When they finally do admit their feelings to each other, though, the cooking thing intensifies 200%. Food becomes one of Flambae's biggest love languages towards Waterboy, especially because he still has a bit of trouble being vulnerable and expressing his feelings even post-confession. Flambae will bring Waterboy special homemade desserts and treats during the holidays, and they'll eat them together between shifts. When Flambae wants to apologize for his temper or for saying something uncalled for, he'll first bring Waterboy a little snack or some fresh fruit to soften the blow without him having to worry about messing up with his words. Waterboy tries to mirror this behavior by occasionally bringing Flambae desserts from a local bakery or panaderia, or by saving up his money to take Flambae out to a nice dinner, since he's terrible at cooking himself.

When Waterboy eventually moves into Flambae's apartment, Waterboy becomes Flambae's dedicated taste-tester when he isn't sure exactly what a dish needs. Breakfast is the most important meal of their day—Flambae wakes up early to make them both a nice, filling breakfast, and Waterboy cleans up afterward because it calms him down and he knows Flambae hates when his kitchen is messy.

There's a tiny bit of relationship weight. Most of it is muscle, because Waterboy is actively training his strength to get better at hero work, but he does eventually notice his previously extremely lean figure starting to fill out with a little bit of softness from all of the home cooking he's been eating. He's a bit embarrassed and definitely pretty insecure about it, especially when his wetsuit starts to get a bit tight, but Flambae is always there to reassure him and comfort him, even if he's a little aloof about it. Plus, he says, he finally has an excuse to get Waterboy in a better costume.

Flambert February Day 22: Helpless

Robert doubled over in pain as the masked villains kicked him once more. This trip to the shopping mall had turned into quite the ordeal. Or well, it had turned into a full blown hostage crisis according to the 4 o'clock News. "That's what you get for trying to be a hero, little dispatcher" one of them snarled. They zip tied his hands together and dragged him over towards the food court. "Now stay put and shut the fuck up you little bitch" they hissed at him. He was just happy he bought a lot of the other shoppers time to escape or hide somewhere to wait it out. Self sacrificing? Maybe? Would Chad yell at him for it later? Oh absolutely, but he couldn't not help the civilians, abandoning them wasn't in his nature even outside the mech. Even if these villains had powers and weird red laser guns, it was a risk he was willing to take. The bruising on his cheek hurt though...and his knuckles. Those are definitely bruised. How was he supposed to know the tall guy's body could make itself into diamond at will? Sharp diamond too, that shit HURT

______

Outside the mall, the Z Team paces frantically. Awaiting orders to go in, an all clear, the ability to do *something*. Sonar had offered to negotiate however the cops were not willing to let him do so despite his team's ever improving public perception.

Visi returned from searching amongst the evacuated people for Robert and shook her head. "He's not with them"

"Shite, I hope he's okay." Punch Up looked towards the mall entrance with a concerned expression. Just hours before, Robert had simply stated that he was going to pick up some pretzels that he'd been craving since his shift had ended early. What a way to start his weekend.

"I'm tired of waiting, we need to just go in and get him already" Visi frowned. Over all the team morale was low, and why wouldn't it be? None of them take particularly kindly to Robert's life being at risk seeing as he's done so much for them. Flambae put on his shades. "Fuck this shit, I'm not waiting for a negotiation. I'll find Robbo myself"

"someone's got t'go wit ya lad, Ye can't go in by yerself"

"Yeah take like... Give us two seconds to find an opening"

Flambae looked across the parking lot. Prism & Phenomaman were working double time to keep the civies calm, Waterboy and Mal with their healing abilities had set up a triage center for the inevitable injured they'd rescue, Golem turned away incoming traffic with the help of Blazer (this was in addition to keeping the press back at a safe distance)

This left Coupé, Visi, Punch Up, and Flambae as the breach team.

"I'm with Flambae on this one, the longer we wait the more risk Robert is in, I say we act now." Coupé gestured towards a domed portion of the mall. "That there, I've flown over it countless times. There's a service hatch. I think that's our way in"

"I'll see if I can find where Robert is" Visi held her breath and vanished, sneaking away towards a mall entrance.

Punch up held in to Coupé as she and Flambae flew off towards the maintenance hatch.

Flambae didn't really care much about subtly at this moment. He just didn't want to feel helpless anymore, he was going to save his boyfriend if it was the last thing he ever did. "If so much as a hair is missing from Robert's head..." He muttered to himself

_____

Under a table in the food court, Robert hid from his captors. "You IDIOT!" The tall one yelled at the aquatic looking one. "I fucking told you to keep your eye on him! He's our ONE hostage, our ONLY bargaining chip!"

Robert rolled his eyes. This wasn't the most comfortable escape he's ever made but when are they ever? At least these dinguses are more likely to kill each other for losing track of him than they are to kill him. Robert had decided a while back that avoiding death was, in fact, imperative to the happy life he very much wanted. Unfortunately for him, crawling on a filthy food court floor while your hands are both injured and zip tied together was causing him quite a bit of pain.

"Found you, you little shit" someone grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. He winced in pain

"Y'know, you're actually kind of cute" the villain mused, grabbing Robert's chin and somewhat turning his face with their hand.

"Fuck you" Robert groaned.

"perhaps when this is over that could be arranged"

Ew, seriously. Robert thought to himself. If he wasn't so exhausted from getting beaten he'd kick this guy in the nads and bite off his ear or something.

"Get your filthy hands off of my Robbo" a familiar voice growled from behind him. The villain set him down on one of the tables, but before he could reply a flaming mass of muscle tackled him to the ground, knocking him out instantly. Flambae stood, dusting his hands off and kicking the now unconscious villain in the stomach.

"Fucking gross bitch" he muttered.

He turned to face Robert, his expression softening from disgust at the villain to worry to relief. He took him in his arms. "Can you stand?"

Robert nodded. "Stick close to me, I'm getting you out of here babe" he planted a kiss on his forehead. Robert smiled, relieved to see Chad.

They'd have to fight their way out, but with the guy directly holding Robert captive out of the way it'd be easier. The other Z teamers were able to make short work of the other villains, and soon enough the mall was given the all clear for emergency personnel to enter and start processing the scene.

By the time everything had calmed down and they were outside, the two had a tender moment. Flambae snapped the zip tie off Robert's wrists with ease, and pulled him into a hug. Malevola healed him and then took a step back to let them be.

R: "Y'know, I think the saddest thing about this is I still didn't get those pretzels I was craving"

F: "I have sour dough starter at my place, I can make you some...if you'd like. I know it's not the same but it's easier than driving down to Santa Monica for them"

R: "I'd like that. Pretzels and a sleepover with my favorite fireball"

F: "How'd you know I was gonna have you spend the night?"

R: "hmmmm...let's see, you saved my ass yet again, you offered to bake me treats, I'm kind of turned on by how much of a hero you've become, I just sort of figured you'd want to steal me away for the night."

F:" Well Bob-Bob, you'd be correct" he leaned in to kiss him. It was chaste but sweet. "Mustn't let the public see us kiss, they know that I'm Mecha Man's boyfriend now eh"

R: "Fucccck I forgot about that. And here I was hoping for tongue"

F: "I gotchu, just when we get back to HQ ey? Away from the prying eyes"

Robert smiled warmly at his boyfriend, things were looking up for the rest of the evening

I can see Robert Robertson III wanting to get married and/or have kids, but there’s an issue with both of those things that he is definitely painfully aware of.

He’s American, so anybody legally tied to him as ‘family’, be that a spouse or a child, will inherit his giant fucking mountain of medical debt when he dies.

So I think that when he’s in a relationship, he’ll start to self-sabotage and push the other person away because he feels that a long-term committed relationship is completely off the the table due to his financial situation. He ignores any desires to have kids, and takes comfort in the fact that the government can’t pass his debt onto his only actual dependant, Beef.

Robert feels that he’s inevitably going to die young and saddle anybody close to him with a life-destroying amount of debt, and he just can’t bring himself to do that to somebody who he loves.
