nicky hemmick and his half-mexican heritage + the twins
has made tamales for the twins (he was really excited his first christmas with them and wanted to make something special for them.)
okay it was a fucking mess, especially since it was his first time making them. (and its not like he was going to call his mom bc they weren’t on speaking terms. he actually got the recipe from roland (he’s latinx too, don’t fight me on this) )
poor nicky. it was so much work and the twins didn’t really want to help but nicky really wanted to give the twins a decent christmas so he pushed through.
he burned a few but for the most part they were okay?? (thanks to roland, who nicky called in a panic)
aaron didn’t admit it but he really liked them. andrew preferred the sweet ones + vegetable ones
also andrew almost ate them with the corn husk still on. nicky almost died first from laughing at andrew and second from the knife that he narrowly missed being thrown at him
nicky also making pozole and cooking the chicken separately bc andrew didn’t really like meat
this was the first christmas in which andrew was like...this is...okay.
also mexican hot chocolate is a comfort drink for nicky. and he made some and gave some to andrew and it’s how he learned andrew really liked hot chocolate? (andrew didn’t admit to it but like he finished most of the batch by himself so nicky fucking knew)
andrew has actually picked up basic spanish from hearing nicky talk to other people (understands more than he is able to speak it)
(the only reason andrew picked german over spanish was because it’s less commonly used. au where the twins learn spanish and the whole ‘doesn’t mean i wouldn’t blow you’ happens in spanish. romance language amirite)
used to call them Andrés & Aarón. andrew put a stop to it
andrew really likes mexican candy. spicy then sickeningly sweet? perfect for someone who likes contradictions.
nicky blasting ‘estas son las mañanitas que cantaba el rey David’ as a joke on their bday for the first and last time (dfadfa if you’re latinx you fucking know what the fuck i’m talking about)
