heyyy love ur stuff btw! Could you maybe do hc’s of how our boys when someone is being mean to the reader? Thanks ;)) Maybe like a modern AU? Or any AU you’d prefer, thank you!
Aaaaaaaa thank you for the ask friend!! I love this idea!!! So I pictured this in a Modern!AU where the pair is at a coffee shop waiting on their order. The Boy puts his arm around them and the person next to them just sneers and goes “Can y’all get a room? Or at least be with someone nice to look at?” OBVIOUSLY referring to y/n with just a palpable amount of spite and venom.
Dick Winters
I see him just hugging you tighter and maybe turning his back to the guy, like, if he's gonna be an ass about Dick's favorite person he doesn't deserve the time of day. He'd say something so sweet too like, “if you think anyone could be more beautiful than them, you need to get your eyes checked,” before planting a kiss on your cheek and grabbing your drinks.
Lewis Nixon
I can see him definitely getting irritated but also seeming kinda baffled? Like I can see him just saying something like, “Are you serious right now? You see how gorgeous they are, right? Who hurt you, man?” Like he’d be so genuine about it too, even scoffing and shaking his head while y’all walk out with your drinks - like, how tf can someone say that about the most perfect human on earth???
Ron Speirs
I have a strong feeling that the guy’s words leave his mouth before he saw Ron, because I just imagine the dude being Christianson in Bastogne, like, he see’s Speirs’ face and just feels as though he has Met His End. So all Speirs does is put his arm around you and say, “you wanna try that again?” the guy just stutters and replies, “you make a lovely couple,” before scurrying away. I can soooo see Ron just having a smug smile on his face before giving you a kiss.
Harry Welsh
Ok so considering this man got demoted from sergeant to private three (3) different times due to getting in fights I have a feeling he would just be like “OH ITS THAT KINDA PARTY HUH? YOU WANNA TRY SAYING THAT AGAIN ASSHOLE??” Like this dude could be twice Harry’s size but your Boy can and will throw hands to defend you and he’s not afraid to get hurt while doing it. 10/10 needs you to help with his bruised knuckles after but he apologizes and y’all enjoy your drinks (specifically savoring it because y’all got banned from the coffee shop).
Eugene Roe
I feel like this could go two ways - A) he tells the guy off (“why don’t you mind your business asshole”), holds you close to him, and grabs your drinks without saying a word, or B) he grabs you by the waist and just goes to town trying to merge your mouths into one. This man would just do everything in his power to put on display his love and passion for you. Soon enough the dude will get weirded out and leave, but not before Doc performs award-winning CPR.
Bill Guarnere
Oh boy we got Party Boy #2 over here. “Why don’t you shut ya yap before I shut it for ya?” Your mans would square up to the dude no questions asked. If the dude steps down, Bill would just say, “yeah, that’s what I thought,” before proudly putting his arm around you. If the dude makes a poor decision and steps up to Guarnere… next thing you know poor Bill is apologizing to you while you hold his cold brew up to his black eye to keep the swelling down… the dude apologized though! All thanks to Ol’ Gonorrhea.
Joe Toye
I feel like his reaction is betwixt Guarnere and Nixon. Like, for one thing, he’s genuinely confused. He just gives the dude his classic Eyebrows before pulling you close to him. At first he won’t say anything, but if the dude keeps going he’ll just say to him in a low voice, “you looking for a fight pal?” Honestly that would be enough to scare the dude away while Joe just hugs you tight and kisses your temple before the barista calls your names.
George Luz
This boy would twist the dude’s words perfectly. “Oh you’re absolutely right, they could get someone WAY hotter than me!” before smirking over at you. You can’t help but give George a playful smack on the chest before laughing with him and laying your head on his shoulder… then he’d totally just look at you and think “how’d I get so lucky???” we love a silly soft boi
Joe Liebgott
Fighty Boy #3 and you can’t tell me otherwise. It’d be similar to Guarnere on the ship - he’d have to make sure he heard the dude right at first… “What’d you just say?” like you can feel his angy levels rising by the second. The dude just goes, “you heard me,” and before anyone can even blink the dude is knocked out on the ground, like, the swifest punch known to man and it came from your boyfriend (kinda hot ngl) and you just give him a Look before he smirks and kisses the air from your lungs and… why were you mad at him again? And why are you getting thrown out of the cafe???
Floyd Talbert
Ok so remember how Roe gave you life-saving CPR? Tab’s first instinct is life-taking CPR, like, this man just glares at the dude before pulling you close by your waist (and maybe a hand on your ass because its Tab) and just going to TOWN on your lips, neck, wherever he can reach just to show the idiot dude how in love with you he is and how stupid he was to make that comment… of course instinctively your hands to Tab’s hair and y’all just get Lost in the Sauce and when the barista calls y’all’s names you don’t even hear them.
Shifty Powers
Asdf sweet baby angel would just hold you close and whisper to you, “I’m sorry you had to hear that, you don’t believe him right?” Just keeping all his attention on you and hugging you close with both arms just lovingly wrapped around you, both of y’all forget everything else exists and you just happily hold each other for a bit before you get your drinks (this is all unless shifty has his rifle then the dude’s Time Has Come courtesy of Darrell C. Powers).
ngl this might've been the most fun I've had writing something 🤣 Thank you again for the ask love!! Hope you have a wonderful day!
Hi everyone!! As HEGSWEW comes to an end, I wanted to take a second to thank everyone who sent in a request and encouraged/supported me to keep going and keep writing! Thanks to all y'all's amazingness this week, I'll be officially opening up my requests long-term! I'll be putting guidelines, request menu, etc in my pinned post so be on the lookout!! Also, would y'all like a post that's the request queue so you know how far along your request is? I know it's extra so I wanna check first if it's something y'all would look at🤣 anywho, thank you again for being such wonderful friends!! 💖
Oh I just realized something about Should’ve Been Born Later, Nix! I wonder how Speirs would react if he came across Gossip Girl and there is just a guy who looks a little too much like him hehehe
I LOVE THIS!!!! (quick note i’ve never seen Gossip Girl so apologies for any inaccuracies lol)
Ok so I picture it happening when they’re all at the twins’ apartment and they just have the TV on in the background
Ron is maybe on the couch reading a book when maybe Winters or Nixon goes
“Hey Ron is that you?”
Lewis Nixon Seeing Matthew Settle in Gossip Girl, 2023 Colorized
So Speirs looks up and it’s a commercial for a Gossip Girl marathon
And he is just heckin bamboozled
Like ??? the fuck????
Zay hears the commotion and pokes her head into the living room to see if everyone is okay
Then she sees the screen and Ron’s face and STRUGGLES to hold back a laugh
“Are you saying that’s not you Lieutenant Speirs??” Zay said in the most genuine tone she could muster
Which wasn’t a lot
“You and him are played by the same actor here, so y'all look the same”
The rest of the room broke out in laughter while Ron just sat in silence… however he could not resist letting out a laugh
Here's a feared, respected, badass army lieutenant, and in the commercial he's got messy hair and wearing what looks like a third-day-worn t shirt
Ron simply let out a quiet laugh and shook his head before going back to his book
But he couldn't help but wonder…
What else did he, or rather, this actor, play in??
How do people see him in 2023?
Like, he doesn’t CARE…. But he's curious…
Thank you again for the ask love!! Apologies for the delay 😅💕

I love you all dearly and CURRAHEEEEEE!!!!!!
Hiii my love, can I ask for a ship? Sorry if it’s long or formatted wrong, thank you in advance 🫶🏼🫶🏼
I’m a female (she/her) , i have big heart, i’m funny, I like to relax, and I can be a bit of a grandma sometimes when it’s just me around the house, but otherwise i’m quite energetic . I love to chill and listen to music. I can have a bit of a short temper at times (I just think it’s because I don’t put up with peoples bs LMAO), I can also be very stubborn, i’m very loyal, like VERY loyal and I will always stick up for the people i love and go above and beyond to make the people around me happy. (which I think that can also lead me to being hurt or misused by friends)
I can be a little emotional at times, maybe a little dirty minded too lol, i love to cook, i’m a dog lover (really just an animal lover at that), and i’m competitive and passionate. I’m a very driven person and if it’s something I want to do i’ll make SURE it gets done. I Make up my own rules and I don’t give into unfair ideas that are put up around me. I lead with my heart and my emotions and if that gets me into trouble then so be it. i also LOVE scary movies, true crime, all that stuff, i’m also a SUCKER for reality tv 😭 (tlc does have some good drama though)
I would say I’m charming and it’s more of my words and my smile that gets the guys. I’m a bit of a germaphobe and maybe little ocd. Imma southern gal who’s very short, (5.0) I think I have more of an innocent look (despite my wild attitude LMAO) I have big brown eyes, wavy light brown hair, big lips, only like a couple light freckles on my nose ( you can see them better in the summer) , button nose, and an olive skintone that has paled over time, I would say I have more of a petite/hourglass figure but I think my chest is what catches people’s eyes (Im a size DD LOL) I have high standards, I can be very sympathetic, and I also can usually tell when people are in pain or when their vibe is off in general. I usually just joke or “laugh it off” and I can be very deadpan when something bothers me, or if it’s something that really hurt me I usually just shut down and become cold or distant. i’m an INTP, My hogwarts house is Hufflepuff ( even though I honestly thought I was a slytherin for so long 😭) My love language is physical touch for giving and acts of service as receiving (it’s really just the little things and showing that you care about what I’m saying or just being thoughtful). I grew up with brothers so i love watching sports and playing them (We grew up in a very competitive household lol) i’m very very family oriented, I’m a sagittarius, I like to play the piano, and read and write in my free time. and In the summers I love to fish and swim at my boathouse. And springtime is my favorite season.
For a guy, I wouldn’t really care about looks or any of that! I don’t have a type at all 😅 Just someone that can take care of me right. Sorry if this is long! Love you, Em!!!! 🩷🩷🩷
MY LOVE NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR THE LENGTH OF AN ASK I THRIVE OFF OF IT AND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Alright so this one just kinda came to me out of nowhere while I was reading your thing and the more I read the more it just seemed to fit!! I ship you with…
Floyd Talbert!!
Song from my playlist that reminds me of y’all - Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Queen
How you met
So you both were in the pub in England where Buck and everyone were playing darts
Tab was just being his usual flirty self until he saw you
You were out just having a blast with your friends and he saw your smile and just
That's it he's Sold
So he sauntered over to you to try and put on his usual charm but your own way with words and just how PRETTY you are completely threw him off
So yeah sweet boy stumbles over his words and when you call him cute he just
Talbert.exe has stopped working
Suddenly your friends call you over so you give him a little wave before walking off but not before he asks you to dinner
Cue Talbert sneaking off in the middle of the night to see you whenever he can so y’all can sneaky make out like a couple of teenagers
How he knew he loves you
Ok so I picture it happening maybe you met up with him in Paris while he had some leave time
You and Tab and your friends were all out drinking and having a good time
Until someone bumps into one of your friends and gives them a glare
Like “watch where you’re going asshole”
And because your hands are rated E for Everyone of course you try and go to town
Until Talbert holds you back because he doesn’t want you to get hurt
Just… seeing your passion and loyalty to your friends, how much you cared, the fire in your eyes…
Something just clicked for him, he knew then and there he was in love with you
He tells you as he walks you back to your hotel room, standing outside the door, arms wrapped around your waist
He’s worried you won’t believe him because of his flirty reputation, but the look in his eyes when he says he loves you makes your heart just MELT
Of course you say it back because who wouldn’t
Before his leave is up y’all make the decision that you’ll go back to Kokomo with him after the war
A conflict and how y’all resolved it
So it’s after the war, both of y’all had long days, already on edge
Tab comes through the door and, instead of the welcome home kiss you always expect, he just goes straight to the kitchen, right passed you
You follow him because you’re worried about Tab, like, this never happens?? Tf??
You knew Tab had a temper but this felt different
You ask if he’s okay and he just stays silent
You ask him again in a quiet tone, “Floyd, talk to me.”
“Why should I? You don’t tell me everything. Why should I tell you anything?”
It just comes out of nowhere and cuts like a knife
Tab kept ranting, and you’re able to gather that apparently, a coworker that loves to get under Tab’s skin mentioned that he saw you at a bar flirting with a bunch of guys (literally never happened, you’ve been at home taking care of Trigger all week cuz he was sick)
Just… 1) the fact that it’s a lie… 2) the fact that Tab believed him??? Did he really have that little faith in you and your relationship????
The fight just blows up out of proportion, tears are shed, voices go raw, feelings DEFINITELY get hurt
Finally y’all just hit a wall so you just take Trigger out for a walk without saying a word
During the walk your brain just goes a million miles a minute
You thought your relationship was deeper than this?? Has it been like this the whole time but you just had rose colored glasses on??
You didn’t want to go home, but you knew Trigger was getting tired, and it was getting dark.
When you walk in the door, you see dinner on the table (your favorite), and Tab waiting for you, his eyes clearly red and puffy
“I… I can’t begin to say how sorry I am…”
He just looks at the floor ashamed
Tab takes a moment before quietly explaining that, when his coworker said what he did, it just hit different…
Tab never told you this, but he really doesn’t feel like he deserves you
Like, in Tab’s brain, you could go and pick someone ten times better than him, so why don’t you?
Tab got so scared, but he didn’t want to show it, so he got angry
By the end his cheeks are stained with tears, still looking at the floor
He’s so shocked when he feels your arms around him
“Floyd, you’re the silliest man I know”
At first he’s super confused, but you explain how much you love him and how you can’t imagine your life with anyone else
He just lets out a sob of relief and kisses you with the most love and passion you ever felt
Honestly it was rough but you’ve never felt closer to Tab than in that moment
Your Happily Ever After
Always taking care of Trigger together
Trigger needs a bath? Floyd “accidentally” aims the hose at you and starts a water fight
Trigger needs a walk? You have his leash on one hand, and Floyd’s butt in the other
SUPER romantic relationship, like, y’all are just constantly flirting with each other and it’s simultaneously disgusting and adorable
A silly headcanon about your relationship!
Ok but hear me out…. Once a week, y’all have a self-care night and it’s SO CUTE
Y’all help each other put on face masks, give each other massages
You just love to help each other relax and feel refreshed and rejuvenated after a long week
Sometimes Trigger gets in on the fun and y’all give him a little paw-ssage and he is in heaven
Honestly just being in that space with the two boys you love most feels like heaven to you
Aaaaaaa thank you for being my first ship Mac!!! Hope you like it ❤️✨
Hey loves! I’d like to announce that this upcoming week I am dubbing
HELP EMILY GAIN SOME WRITING EXPERIENCE WEEK

Aaaaaaa thank you so much for the ship request Alexi!!!!! You’re amazing 🥺❤️💖 (Also thank you so much for your patience lol)
So this one came to me surprisingly quick but honestly it just fits!!
I ship you with….
Don Malarkey!!
A song from my Liked Songs that reminds me of y’all - Best Day of My Life by American Authors
How y’all met
So picture this - it’s Don and Alton in the motorcycle, living their best lives
You’re walking home from the store just vibing and daydreaming
Until ZOOOM they almost hit you and you get knocked on your ass
Of course they immediately pull over and Don just SPRINTS over to you
Don kneels next to you and makes sure you’re okay but when he makes eye contact with you for the first time he’s just
🥺🥺🥺
Completely and utterly smitten
“Can I walk with you the rest of the way? Let me carry your bag to make up for what just happened!”
Of course how can you say no to Baby Boy so of course you hand your backpack over to him and y’all start walking together and talking
There’s just an instant connection y’all can’t stop laughing and talking about everything under the sun, eventually, he subtly takes your hand in his for the rest of the way
Both of y’all are super sad when you get to your place
Don just looks at you with the sweetest eyes and goes “I’d love to see you again”
Y’all start just taking walks together almost every day and Muck and Penkala are so tired of just HOW MUCH Don talks about you, like sweet boy can’t get you out of his mind
How he knew he loves you
Ok so y’all are out to dinner and you notice fucking soBEL LIKE WTF H O W
But you and Don just look at each other and you both know you’re about to cause some CHAOS
So y’all hatch this perfect prank on Sobel
Long story short Sobel is covered in chocolate sundae and the two of you are running away from the restaurant laughing your asses off
Don just looks at you and… your laugh, your smile, how you two just work so well together
He tells you right then and there how much he loves you
Both of you just feel so overwhelmed with the feeling of like I Found My Person
You share a kiss and it's simultaneously so gentle but so passionate
Everything in that moment is just perfect
A conflict in your relationship and how y’all resolved it
Ok so I see it happening with you and Don are out with Muck and Penkala
The three of them are being themselves and laughing together
You were for a while but then your Social Battery dies
So of course you lean over to Don
“Hey babe, can we please go home?”
“Yeah in a minute love” he quickly replied before getting back to Muck and Penkala
…That's the third time he's said that
So you get frustrated and just walk out on your own and start walking home
Your intrusive thoughts start getting the better of you… did he really wanna spend time with you? Is he tired of you??
You're so swept up in your thoughts you don't hear Don running after you
“Love? What happened? Where’re you going??” poor boy is Genuinely Confused
Which you’re not sure if that makes things better or worse
Either way, you didn’t want him to see that you were hurt, so you turned it into anger
“What do you fucking want?” You turn around and shoot at him
He just has this hurt puppy look as he goes “What happened??”
“Just leave me alone” you try to keep walking but you feel him grab your arm and turn you around
“Please tell me what I did and I’ll do everything I can to make it better” Don just puts a hand on your cheek and his eyes are searching yours, begging for an answer
You see the concern and love in his eyes and you just break
Sobs wrack your body as Don hugs you tight, just being there for you while you let it all out
After a little bit you’re able to get out that you just felt ignored and that he preferred Muck and Penkala to you and he just
He realizes what he did and just places his forehead on yours
“My love, I’m so, so sorry… I should never have done that, we should’ve just gone home the first time you asked… how can I make it up to you??”
You just smile and ask, “...can we go home?”
Don just smiles and sweeps you up, carrying you the rest of the way to your place
… Muck and Penkala stayed waiting for you and Don to come back assuming that y’all just went to the bathroom
Your Happily Ever After
Most wholesome relationship known to man
Like this man will do ANYTHING to see you smile
You mention physical touch is your love language?
He’s making sure to have an arm around you, his hand on your back, giving you kisses ALL THE FREAKING TIME LIKE STOP IT'S GROSS BUT CUTE
He also just feels so comfortable and safe with you
Like the fact that y’all’s chaotic energies just blend so perfectly, he knows he won’t scare you away and it’s the best feeling in the world
Also he will listen to you talk about animals and dinosaurs for HOURS
Not only does he just love the sound of your voice but just how much you know it’s amazing to him
You wind up teaching him so much it’s basically like your first time being a teacher and Don’s the student and it’s the Best
A silly headcanon about your relationship
Y’all prank each other all day every day and it’s too cuTE
(obviously done with tact like if one of you is going through a rough patch of course a truce is declared)
But like
Powder in the hair dryer? Check; plastic wrap in the hallway? Check!
One of the best ones was when you gave Don a homemade candy apple
He took a GIANT bite
‘Twas an onion
He’s still plotting the perfect way to get you back…
the ship thing looks like a lot of fun! lets do it!
so my name's blu, and i use "she/her" pronouns! i have dark blue hair and brown eyes, am 5'8", and wear way too many oversized hoodies and sweaters haha i'm your sterotypical enfj- the kind of mom friend who will very forcefully remind you to do some selfcare! i do love to talk about the things i'm into, and aren't afraid to stand up for what i believe in. for hobbies, writing is my first love, but i also love taking long walks and exploring nature or even just the world outside my window! i'm also a big music enjoyer! i'm a part of two bands- one where i play guitar and the other where i do bass! i love singing, too, and get incredibly into all my karaoke performances 😂 i'm not really sure what i go looking for in a partner, but i tend to gravitate towards shyer guys and relationships where i'll end up doing most of the talking as well as people who aren't afraid to talk about the deep things in life.
thanks emily!! can't wait to see what you come up with 😁
Thank you so much for the request Blu!! (also i have blue hair rn too!! 🥰💖)
I ship you with…
(Speirs Voice) Darrell C. POWWWEEERRRRSSSS
A song from my liked songs that reminds me of y’all - Sugar, Sugar by the Archies
How you met
Mkay SO
Your band came to Europe to play for the soldiers because morale boost
So Easy Company is sitting listening to your band and everyone is vibing and having a Lovely Time ™
Shifty looks up at the stage and sees you with your guitar and
He’s sitting with Talbert and Smokey and they see how he’s just staring and start teasing him a bit
Sweet baby laughs but starts blushing when Tab and Smokes talk about meeting her after the show
Like WHAT?? INTERACTING WITH THE MOST GORGEOUS GIRL EVER???
Before they know it though y’all are packing up your gear and it’s Now or Never
So Tab and Smokey being Tab and Smokey they each Grab an Arm and before the three know it they’re next to the stage
You’re still on stage just putting your guitar away when Smokey just goes “YOU DID GREAT TONIGHT!!”
But when you turn around all you see is Shifty all alone and frantically looking beside him
But honestly he's so stinkin cute how could you not go over and talk to him
Sweet baby just blushes bright red and stutters out
“H-how do you do ma’am, my name’s shift- I mean Darrell b-but everyone calls me Shifty,” he just looks down and sticks his hand out
You just laugh softly and shake his hand (asdf there was so definitely a spark but neither of you admit it)
“It’s very nice to meet you Shifty,” you get an idea when you look back at the stage
“Would you mind helping me carry my stuff back to the van?” 🥺👉🏻👈🏻
Shifty’s eyes brighten up and he’s like an eager golden retriever following you up onto the stage to get your things
Shifty’s able to relax a little bit thanks to you being so sweet and lovely and y’all have just the most wonderful conversation
Before you leave he definitely asks you to dinner and of course how could you say no
How he knew he loves you
I picture it happening when y’all are on a hike
You got to the top of the mountain and there’s a beautiful view, absolutely perfect for your picnic!
So y’all are having a lovely picnic just talking about everything under the sun
However you look over and notice that Shifty’s water bottle is almost full
Like siR YOU’RE ON A HIKE YOU NEED TO HYDRATE
“Shifty, you need to drink some water babe,” you say gently, holding out the water bottle to him
When he looks at you… the gentle but concerned look in your eyes, strands of your hair framing your face, the way the sun is shining on you, everything is just perfect
He leans forward and gently kisses you, placing a hand on your cheek
He slowly pulls away and just quietly says, “I’m in love with you…”
The genuine love and tenderness of the moment almost makes you want to cry so of course you say it back
Y’all go on that hiking trail every year now
A conflict that arose and how y’all resolve it
Ok so y’all are out at a bar maybe with friends after the war
Shifty offers to get the next round of drinks, so he kisses you on the cheek before going up to the bar and ordering
You glance over to the bar after a little bit and see Shifty talking to a girl??
It’s clear she’s trying to put the moves on him, the giggling, the Touching His Arm In That One Way
And Shifty just… lets her?
He’s even laughing along with her jokes (which you can hear and they ain’t great)
You could NEVER picture Shifty doing something like this, but you have no other explanation for what your eyes are seeing
The conflicting feelings start to feel overwhelming so you tell your friends that you’re going to the bathroom before walking as quickly as you can toward the restrooms
Shifty notices your brisk pace and gets concerned cuz you look really upset?? What happened while he was gone??
He follows you to the hallway with the bathrooms and gently takes your hand
“Is everything alright love??” he says so gently but also so worried
You debate telling him what you saw
Like on the one hand he’s never given any indication he’s like that
But on the other he was CLEARLY flirting back???
He sees the anxiety in your eyes and his concern just Doubles
“Sweetheart what’s wrong??” he gently places his hands on your arms while he waits to hear your response, praying he can fix whatever it is
“...why were you flirting with that girl?” you asked in a barely audible voice, tears welling up in your eyes
Suddenly Shifty’s facial muscles scrunch up
“Flirting? You mean with that girl at the bar?”
He laughs a little and shakes his head
“I was trying everything I could to get away from her, but I was waiting on the drinks and I didn’t want to be mean…”
You just breathe a sigh of relief and shake your head, relief washing over you
You both start laughing quietly before you plant a kiss on his lips
“I love you Darrell C Powers”
“Why do you always use my full name?” (it’s not because I always hear it in Speirs’ voice idk what you’re talking about)
Your Happily Ever After
Every morning he wakes you up with a kiss on your nose
If that doesn’t work he goes for your lips next
Sweet baby boy just does everything in his POWEEERRRSS Power to make you smile every day
It’s so lovely too because you're his Emotional Support Extrovert
You do all the talking when y’all need to do adult things like buy a car or do tax thingies
Y’all just balance each other perfectly and I would joke about it being gross but tbh it’s just goals
A silly headcanon about your relationship
So Shifty wanted to do something super extra special for your birthday one year
So he found this super cool and delicious recipe for your favorite flavor of cake
One catch - your boy has never cooked a thing a day in his life
So the night before your birthday (sweet boy wanted to surprise you) you come home and there’s smoke everywhere and you can tell it’s coming from the kitchen
Of course you race in and the first thing you see is Shifty standing on the counter fanning the fire alarm with an off-white apron
Which is weird because your apron is blue??
Yeah the kitchen was an absolute war zone
Cake batter everywhere, egg shells on the floor, flour sticking on every surface
Shifty sees you and quickly hops off the counter to hug you before he remembers the discombobulated state he is in
He just sheepishly smiles at you and says, “happy birthday??”
It was the most fun you’ve ever had cleaning up the kitchen
Thank you again for the ask Blu!!! 💙💙💙💙 (I'm sorry if i made too many jokes about how Speirs says his name it just lives in my head rent-free 🤣😅)
