♖: Having their hair washed by the other

“Just because you can regenerate it clean doesn’t mean you can’t put some kind of effort into maintaining it, y’know,” John says, perched on the edge of the bathtub with his feet in the water and Lovecraft leaning against his knee. John doesn’t actually know to what extent Lovecraft is self-maintaining: the man usually seems to have bloodstains evaporate from his clothes alarmingly quickly, and when he falls apart into tentacles and messiness he usually comes back looking as neat as he ever does. (Which isn’t particularly put together, but with Lovecraft one has to take what one can get.) He never smells like sweat, just smells like the ocean. And his love for baths just seems to be a love for a contained puddle he can sleep/dissolve in.

But sometimes it’s the spirit of the thing, and John imagines putting conditioner in the mass of hair floating around in the tub couldn’t possibly hurt it.

“Effort is tiring,” Lovecraft replies, poking his nose and mouth above water just long enough to contribute to the discussion.

John is used to this rhetoric, and leans over Lovecraft to grab a bottle of shampoo. “Yeah, yeah. Too bad, you’re gonna smell like oranges now.“ He gets a burble in response, which John isn’t sure if it’s permission or not. Good thing he doesn’t care if he has permission, it’s happening. He squeezes a healthy drop of shampoo right onto the top of Lovecraft’s head (this guy has an absurd amount of hair, he thinks for the umpteenth time), and sets about half trying to ensure Lovecraft’s hair is clean, half trying to make this scenario as sudsy as possible. Lovecraft covered in tiny bubbles is stellar.

Lovecraft pokes his head up again, leaning back to look at John. John flicks a blob of shampoo bubbles at Lovecraft’s nose.

“It makes the water feel weird,“ Lovecraft says. “But your hands feel nice.”

“And your hair’s gonna be soft as hell once I’m done,“ John adds. It is another selling point. Lovecraft nods, then resumes his position leaning against John’s knee, eyes closed. It’s not the position most conducive to John easily washing his hair, but that’s an acceptable price to pay for the odd peacefulness of it. John sings happily to himself (Springsteen under his breath) as Lovecraft drifts off.

Lovecraft’ll wake up later, possibly with John scooting next to him in the bath, but definitely with nicely soft, briefly citrus-scented hair.

♠: One character adjusting the other's jewelry/neck tie/ etc.

It may not show itself often, and it may show itself in the weirdest of ways, but Lovecraft has an eye for detail. His own presentation isn’t necessarily anything new-- he’s exchanged his tattered cloak for a suit jacket that Fitzgerald thrust at him and demanded be kept in one piece for the entire evening, and the eye-patterned tie for something that probably does not blink every so often if you look at it out of the corner of your eye. So, he looks more or less like an almost normal human being. Rather pretty, actually, though still somehow otherworldly. He’s also very symmetrical (even his hair is tied up symmetrically), which is where he happens to find issue with John.

“Come here,” he says lazily, gesturing for John to walk over. John does, a little confused as to what Lovecraft wants. He doesn’t get a verbal answer, but he does instead get Lovecraft reaching over to the knot of the tie at his throat, tugging the deep-blue fabric looser, before promptly readjusting the knot and tightness thereof. Ah. So that was the problem. John watches Lovecraft’s face as he does this. Lovecraft’s concentrating much harder than John feels would actually be necessary, purple eyes narrowing and eyebrows furrowing in focus as Lovecraft tugs the tie just an iota to the left. Lovecraft stares, appraising, then nods to himself before straightening John’s lapel and fastening the tiny buttons on his shirt collar.

“Nitpicky, aren’t you?“

“It’s supposed to look even,“ Lovecraft responds, as if this is the most important thing he could possibly ensure all night.

John snorts in amusement and reaches up, placing his hands over Lovecraft’s that have gone to hover still uncertainly around his neck. A rock forward on his tiptoes and he places a kiss to Lovecraft’s lips. “Someone’s got to look out for me. Thanks.”

otp questions for steincraft blease

ASK AND YE SHALL RECEIVE

1. Who takes the trash out? 

John usually :0

2. Who reminds the other to take care of themselves?

More often it’s John, since Lovecraft doesn’t exactly avidly attend to his own health, but Lovecraft has to remind John to take it easy once in a while

3. Who is happier when they are out in nature?

Lovecraft~ He loves small animals like bugs and squirrels

4. Do they like to go in the hot tub together?

Not often, but when they do, Lovecraft loves it. He doesn’t seem like the type to enjoy things like that, but he loves anything and everything warm.

5. Do either of them avidly follow a celebrity and/or fandom?

Nah :0

6. Who builds a pillow fort?

That’s the kind of shit Lovecraft does at midnight

7. Who plans the romantic date?

John, usually. Lovecraft doesn’t really see the point in dates when they’re already together, but he does enjoy when John tries so hard to please him

8. Who likes to play with the other’s hair?

Both!! Lovecraft is fascinated with how fluffy John’s hair is, and John likes how long and weirdly cold Lovecraft’s is.

9. Who calms the other down when the other has a nightmare?

Lovecraft. He never really dreams when he sleeps, but John has a lot of nightmares, and it’s not uncommon for Lovecraft to have to console him when he wakes up

10. Who wants their dog to sleep on the bed with them?

They don’t have any pets, but that’s the kind of thing Lovecraft does

11. Who can’t sleep without the other?

Despite his constant sleepiness, Lovecraft finds it hard to really sleep well when John isn’t around

12. Who is too nice and will listen to a sales person pitch?

Neither of them; John refuses them kindly but quickly, and Lovecraft probably doesn’t even notice the person talking.

13. Who makes the first move to cuddle? 

Lovecraft~ John is warm and soft and he loves him

14. What is their go to fast food place?

Lovecraft will settle for any shitty ice cream place, and John is happy to take him there

15. Who likes to wear the other’s sweaters?

They both do that, though Lovecraft doesn’t own many sweaters. He thinks John’s smell nice, though~
