you ever think about how doomclock was the og yaoi because builderman and telamon were freaks, dusekkar is a yearner and luke was like a sopping wet kitten who keeps drowning in milk and didn’t know he existed half the time yet
I do think about it!! Here, have how they got together :P
“What’s up with you now?” Builderman raised an eyebrow, looking over at Clockwork, who was happily laying on his stomach, welding pieces of metal together as he lifted his legs in the air and kicked them back and forth
Though, at Builderman’s words, he seemed to have realized what he was doing and sat up frantically, whatever the robotic equivalent of blush was showing on his face. He turned off the welding tools and smiled nervously at Builderman, rubbing the back of his neck
“Sorry boss, won’t happen again!” Clockwork grinned nervously, clearly hoping Builderman would drop it. Builderman did not. He raised an eyebrow at Clockwork before chuckling and setting down his own tools
“You look like a lovesick puppy. You can tell me anything Clockwork, especially if it’s causing you to be all smiles.” Builderman offered, causing Clockwork to blush more if that was even possible. A giddy smile came to his face as he placed a hand to his cheek, giggling as he started kicking his legs again
“Okay, but you can’t tell anyone, especially Telamon.” Clockwork pointed at Builderman, who placed a hand over his chest and raised the other one, nodding solemnly. Clockwork nodded in approval before looking around and leaning down to Builderman’s ears
“I have a crush on Doombringer.” Clockwork whispered, causing Builderman’s eyes to widen before he looked over to Clockwork who seemed almost embarrassed now. “I know, I know, weird, right? But he matches my energy so well, and he never makes me feel lesser for being a machine, and his smile? God Builderman he’s so pretty when he smiles.”
“Oh, so you’re down bad.” Builderman looked at Clockwork who covered his face, giggling to himself. Builderman just snickered and patted Clockwork on the back. “I think you should go for it, Clockwork.”
“What!?” Clockwork instantly shot up, causing Builderman to stumble back at the sudden movement. “I can’t do that!! You think Doombringer would like someone like me??”
Clockwork sighed, deflating just as fast as he shot up. His hands now held his face as he groaned. “There’s just no way!”
Builderman blinked, shocked at Clockwork’s sudden outburst. He looked behind Clockwork and felt a small smile grow on his face at the person standing in the door of his workshop. He looked back at Clockwork and hummed curiously. “Other than what you’ve said, why do you think he wouldn’t like you?”
“I mean..” Clockwork sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. “His work, first off. He takes it so seriously and I’d feel horrible if he got distracted because of me. Secondly he’s just… he’s so pretty! He’s made up of the stars, did you know that? His body is formed from the stars around and he’s cool to the touch, he’s absolutely gorgeous! I’m just a robot made from metal found literally everywhere. Third, I don’t even know if he likes men, or if he’s even romantically interested at all!”
Builderman nodded at him, watching as the person slowly got closer behind Clockwork, trying not to smile as Clockwork kept rambling on, completely missing the steps behind him. He covered his mouth with his hand as his grin became uncontrollable, giddiness building up
“What are you grinning at.” Clockwork huffed, crossing his arms as Builderman kept snickering. “If you’re making fun of me, I swear to 2x2-“
Clockwork yelped in surprise as arms wrapped around his middle, shock flooding his systems as he was lifted up and his back was pressed against someone’s chest. His face heated up as he looked up him and saw Doombringer, his face just as red as Clockwork’s was with a grin to match. Clockwork felt like he was gonna crash as he tried to process what was going on
“For the record, I am gay, and I am romantically interested.” Doombringer said, causing Clockwork to sputter and try to figure out what to say as he realized Doombringer heard everything, embarrassment flooding his body as Builderman snickered and moved to pick up his bag, heading towards the door that led to his and Erik’s home
“Take the rest of the day off, you two.” Builderman laughed as Clockwork gasped and pointed at him accusingly. Builderman just smiled innocently and walked inside the home, ignoring the sounds of betrayal from Clockwork
Clockwork huffed as the door closed, realizing Builderman wasn’t coming back, nor could hear him thanks to Erik soundproofing Builderman’s workshop a while ago. His face was still flushed, but now he was just pouting as he was held against Doombringer’s chest
Doombringer chuckled and set him down, smiling at Clockwork who nervously smiled back. He could feel himself decay inside, the knowledge that Doombringer had heard every single thing Clockwork said only making him more embarrassed and horrified
“So! Uhm- y’know-!” Clockwork laughed, nervous energy flooding him as Doombringer chuckled, his own grin pulling at his face
“You think I’m pretty Clockwork?” Doombringer asked, a bit of mischief in his voice as Clockwork stuttered his way through words, his processors barely having time to register what was being said as he tried to figure out the best way to save his sanity. Doombringer just laughed at Clockwork’s attempts, causing the robot to close his mouth and look away in embarrassment
“No no, don’t look away.” Doombringer grabbed Clockwork’s jaw, grinning as he moved it back. His tail was moving back and forth fast, showing just how much he enjoyed this. “I like seeing the blush on your face.”
“You do?” Clockwork felt like he was going to explode as Doombringer laughed and nodded. He seemed mildly embarrassed himself, but he was definitely playing it off better than Clockwork who looked like he was dying where he stood
“Yeah. I’d like to see it more often, if that’s alright with you.” Doombringer grinned as Clockwork nodded immediately, his mouth quickly shut and his eyes wide as Doombringer gently leaned in closer. Clockwork closed his eyes, letting Doombringer take the lead as the two got closer
“For the record,” Doombringer whispered, being so close Clockwork could feel Doombringer breathe. “I think you’re beautiful.”
The moment their lips touched Clockwork felt like he was in heaven. Doombringer was cold, and yet somehow his lips were soft as they pressed up against Clockwork’s own
Clockwork moved his hands to wrap around Doombringer’s neck, pulling him in closer. Doombringer copied, grabbing onto Clockwork’s hips and gently pressing their bodies together. It was a bit uncomfortable with the height distance, but to Clockwork it felt perfect
Eventually the two had to part, with Doombringer needing to breathe, and Clockwork pouting because he didn’t have to. Doombringer chuckled at Clockwork’s expression, gently pressing his forehead to Clockworks, while Clockwork just blinked owlishly, like he couldn’t believe that had just happened. He laughed gently, before fully devolving into giggles at the realization that what just happened actually happened
“I’m beautiful?” He asked gently, before snickering at Doombringer’s offended expression
“Clockwork, I just kissed you, do you need me to kiss you again to prove I know you’re beautiful?” Doombringer asked, sounding almost scandalized as Clockwork laughed
“Hmmm, yeah. I think I need you to kiss me more.” Clockwork said, causing Doombringer to roll his eyes before he leaned back in and kissed Clockwork again

“How long have they been doing this?” Telamon asked, resting his head on Builderman’s as the man crossed his arms and stared at them from down the road, his face unimpressed
“A few hours now.” He grumbled. “I had work I needed to do.”
Telamon snickered, before humming and leaning down to Builderman’s ear, whispering gently. “Maybe, since you can’t work, Telamon can have your undivided attention, hm?”
Builderman’s face exploded with red, Telamon being so close to his neck causing him to grow immediately embarrassed. He grabbed his hat and used it to cover his face, before nodding
Before he even realized what he agreed to, Builderman’s hand was grabbed by the larger bird and he was hoisted into Telamon’s arms, his face forced into Telamon’s chest
“Stay still.” Telamon whispered as he shot into the sky, causing Builderman to yelp and hold onto him as the two flew away from the house, and from the two new lovebirds currently stealing Builderman’s workshop
