Ok ok hear me out, so I think we can all agree that Rook and Ben share this room at Plumber’s Academy right. If you look at the drawers you can see Ben’s clothes all nicely folded (it’s even folded to have the number 10 on top and in the middle). Sorry but Ben folding clothes that nicely doesn’t sit right with me, i bet this bitch just yeets his clothes in the drawer and claws through the pile to get shit out, that, or he just dumps them on the floor (well I think he refrains from doing so when he’s sharing this room with Rook, unless he’s like rlly tired one day and doesn’t have the energy to give a fuck).
So of course, Rook, someone who’s shared a cluttered home with his what, 5 siblings, who’s gotten used to picking up everybody else’s slack and laundry will notice how messy Ben’s corner of the room is and naturally starts folding his clothes, re-organizing his socks, color coding all of them and everything. In fact, Rook organizes so much of Ben’s stuff that whenever Ben needs something, he would just ask Rook where it is (Ben also went on about how it would be sooo easier for him to fetch his knick-knacks if they were left in piles instead of being systematically arranged in cabinets but never strived to prove his point).
They even have a selfie and posters of their own automobiles stuck onto the drawers. They’re just so sickeningly domestic yall i cant fucking 😭😭
Ok time for some not-so-platonic headcanons:
They have bunk beds in their room but never actually use both of them at the same time. When they get back from their missions, they simply flop both of their bodies onto one another and sleep. Rook’s disproportionately large body and the single-sized bed made it hard at first but they sort of got a hang of it after some time. When they sleep, they look like a tangled bundle of yarn with their limbs locked and linked but they never looked uncomfortable.
The top bunk is still used though, when they’re not that drained and when Ben likes to sleep on the top bunk because tbh who doesn’t. Stuffing their bodies into the top bunk is extra challenging because the ground’s gonna be extra hard if one of them tumbles down, but this is Ben and Rook we’re talking about, they managed, somehow.
Ben once asked Rook why he kept sorting his clothes like it’s second nature and teased at how motherly it was, saying that if Rook just nagged him a bit more, he would have actually done it himself. Rook just smiled and said that he would have “zero problem doing so for the rest of my life”, as it has become more of a past time rather than a chore - ridding Ben of minor inconveniences, small tasks that added up to the boy’s mountain of duties. After hearing that, Ben realized how he might be spoiled rotten by Rook and decided to semi-regularly fold his clothes (half-assedly nevertheless).
