Imagine your anniversary matching with a “gotcha” kind of thing, where you celebrate the new day you three became the unit you are. Mickey’d been working in maintenance in Roman’s building for a while, so it’s more when you all just started being together. Like the day Roman stopped asking Mickey when he would leave in the morning and instead would set him a plate at the breakfast table. The day he’d stopped saying “see you at the office” and became “you want a ride today?”
And when that day comes every year, Mickey dreads it. Being Roman’s little server and intern, he doesn’t make a lick of the money Roman does, and when Roman starts showing up with these big, extravagant gifts and Mickey cannot match it, he gets embarrassed. He hates the way your face lights up at the necklaces and gowns because it’s not because of him.
And it’s hard enough to share the one he loves with his goddamned boss.
And this year, Mickey cannot be fucked to lose to roman. His love for you does not have to be materialized. His bouquet of flowers does not deserve to be squashed by Romans trail of rose petals to a chef-made dinner.
And roman is not a heartless man- okay, well, yes, he is, but never when it comes to you and your feelings- and when he overhears mickey telling one of his employees how he’s absolutely dreading that very day, how he’s even wondering if it’s worth it to stay in this situationship, Roman feels a tinge of guilt.
And Roman will be damned if he ruins the week of your anniversary; even if it means he has to share you some more.
So let’s fast forward a little bit. It’s the evening of your shared anniversary, Mickey’s been lowkey avoiding conversations and gazes all day, and Roman can’t help but feel guilty. Like. He just doesn’t like the looks and one-worded answers Mickey’s sending your way, it just doesn’t sit right with him.
All through breakfast.
All through work.
All through the lunch break they spent together.
Roman couldn’t help but stir.
And he’s trying to keep his cool, look at this logically, but you’re blowing up his phone with messages about how mickey feels different today, how he’s not responding to you or how he didn’t seem to even acknowledge the date, and Roman can practically see the sadness in your eyes through the messages you’re sending.
Then, 5 pm rolls around, and it’s now or never for Roman to try and make this right. He’s so conflicted, so confused and borderline scared for the evening ahead, that he barely notices Mickey knocking at the door with a blank look on his face, asking him if he’s ready to get going.
“Uhhhhhh...” Roman drones, wide green eyes flicking around the room as he tries to think on his feet, listening to the devil and the angel on each of his shoulder. Mickey gives him an irritated look, and that’s about the last thing he wants to bring home to you.
Then, he just sighs.
“No. I’m gonna lay back,” he says, pulling out his checkbook. Mickey quirks a brow curiously and leans against the doorframe, “dude, it’s our anniversary-”
“No, it’s your anniversary,” Roman corrects, writing an absurd number on the check and flicking his gaze back up Mickey. “What did you get her?”
“Nothing; I knew it wouldn’t compete with your shit, so-”
“Shut up,” Roman snarls, passing Mickey the check. “Go to the jewelry store, tell them Roman Godfrey sent you. They know our situation and jewelry she likes, they’ll help you pick out something nice. Then, you’re going to go to the florist and pick up some flowers for her- I think she likes peonies- and when you get home, you’re gonna tell her that my assistant lost last months invoices, and I of course, had to find them-”
“Thanks, but I don’t need your help-”
“After that, you’re going to take her to dinner with the rest of that check, and then go to that bakery she likes, think it’s Frederick’s, and let her pick out whatever she wants. If she asks where you got the money, tell her you’ve been avoiding her lately so you could pick up more shifts.”
Then, Mickey’s face drained of any color, swallowing thickly as he know gets why Roman cares so much about this.
“Why are you doing this for me?” Mickey says softly, feeling nauseous. The feeling only intensifies when Roman glares at him, quirking a brow as if to ask if Mickey actually just asked him that, “I’m not going to let your dumbass break her heart on your anniversary. Just- go home and take care of her, ask Harrison for a ride, he’ll take care of ya.”
And sure enough, later that night when Roman finally shambled home, occupying his time in his office, at the local bar, just anywhere he could keep himself busy and not interrupting yours and mickey’s night, he follows the trail of discared clothes and walked into the darkened bedroom, the only light being what slips in through the window, and he can’t help but smile at the sight.
You and Mickey are a heap of tangled, naked limbs, his arms wrapped around your frame protectively. He chuckles and makes his way out to the kitchen for something to drink. Half eaten tiramisu and stems of strawberries liter the island (along with your heels and panties- Roman doesn’t even want to know), but most importantly, there’s a closed jewelry box, bigger than a ring but still relatively small, and Roman feels a weight being lifted off of his shoulders that Mickey followed through.
Roman knows in the morning, you’ll be pissed that he missed your night, but deep down, he knows it was worth it to keep Mickey confident in your relationship.
I have a request if you don't care. How would each of Bill’s characters react to you telling them that you are pregnant with their baby? Would they act happy or freak out ❤️
MAH HEART🥺
—————-
Axel and Henry would just be the biggest smiles and grins as he smothers you in kisses, arms wrapped tight around you. He would just be wordless, so happy and eager for this chapter of your life, and have you by his side forever.
Gordan would honestly, be a little melancholic. Because of course he wants to bring in a beautiful life with you. A family, a small house on a quiet street, every thing. That’s all he ever wants.
But his work, it causes a lot of concern. Your safety, and connections to you he might have, now he has to do the same precautions for his child; not to mention all he might miss. It’s hard for him, but he makes you a promise to try.
That’s all he can offer you, but it’s plenty to make you feel safe, because Gordan’s never broken a promise.
Mark- okay. Mark would be a pretty nervous wreck, but do not discount that from his excitement. Mark is excited to be a father, excited to have you by his side.
But he’s scared too; he knows how he was in his younger years, and he’s worried they’ll be the same. And may the gods look over whatever unlucky soul his possible-daughter brings home, especially if they’re like him when he was a kid.
Mickey- just give him all the babies. ALL OF THE CHILDREN. Every time he suspects that your pregnant, he waits on you hand and foot, and is a complete wreck when you tell him that you’re not.
But when you finally are?
Good god.
He goes to ALL the classes, picks up ALL the extra work he can so his kids can have the safest and most exciting toys and treat you to whatever you may want, and he’s there through it all.
Mickey’s parents were young and naive when they had him. They loved him, but they couldn’t do it right. But he will. And he would rather die than let anything happen to or disappoint you.
Roman is terrified. TERRIFIED. Much like Mark, he’s terrified that his little one is going to be just like him, and he’s going to be just like his dad, whether that means J.R., or Norman, but he doesn’t want to be either.
He’s probably a little cold for a while, convinced it’s not his, but it isn’t until you don’t leave, you don’t pack your things and scorn him for not being a good man that he collapses and tells you all of his fears, crying against you and cradling you’re stomach in his large hands while you just hold him back.
The kid is very excited, but I feel like he knew before you (HA). He could feel the changes in the air, see some of your bodily changes and one morning, probably the morning you were planning on telling him, he comes in, wraps his gangly arms around your waist with a large hand on your tummy.
“You know, don’t you, baby?” You ask, and he hums softly.
“We’re having a baby..” he whispers in your hair, a smile tugging at his cheeks.
Willard- okay. You have to tell Willard when he’s not doing anything or holding anything fragile, because he will instantly drop everything and fall to his knees, gazing up at you like you’re some divine being blessing him with a beautiful baby.
He is just so beyond any description of excitement, so eager to start this life with you, and much like Mickey, picks up extra work so the baby can grow up in a good home with food on the table every night.
omg hun i just saw your thingy ab roommate!mickey!! maybe (sometime after cuddling so you can both sleep soundly becomes a regular thing) you’re the one who brings a few people home on occasion, and mickey’s not a huge fan of it. he knows he used to do the same thing, but he’s kinda stopped since he’s had you to himself, and secretly he doesn’t like sharing. you’ll see him lookin all sad n shit and tell him to come over for a good cuddle to cure his frownies 🥺🥺
CuTE SHIT
like once you and Mickey settle into a snuggling routine, he doesn’t need to search out anyone else. He’s happy, he’s content to be in your arms at the end of the night, and come on, it’s so cute how the minute you say “mickey, I’m going to bed,” you can practically see his invisible tail wagging as he gets pads his way to his own bedroom for some jammies.
But what he doesn’t take into account is that you aren’t together. You don’t actually owe him sleepy cuddles and staying in the same bed, you’ve just been doing it out of the kindness of your own heart. So when you’re finally able to go back on dates and hit the town (lol remember when? Stay inside, mask up and stay safe y’all-) it was only a matter of time before you’d both be able to bring people home.
But. Mickey realizes very quickly that he does not like the idea of sharing you again. Like, he knows you’re doing this for HIS benefit, but it left his mind that one day, you’d actually find someone to bring home one day and replace him.
And when that realization hits him like a ton of bricks, all he can do is pout.
He pouts like a puppy when you bring one of your guests up from a night out, your heels in your hand and an arm looped with some Blondie, and your semi-drunken eyes fall on mickey with a fit of giggles.
“This is Freddy,” you mumble around some giggles, and mickey feels his heart nearly break, but he flashes Freddy a smile that doesn’t quite reach his eyes.
But you notice this. Of course you do. You know your mickey, you know he’s not okay with anything going on, and yeah, you shouldn’t have cared what he felt, but something inside of you nudges in guilt because of those damned eyes-
You finally clear your throat and turn to Freddy, “thank you for getting me upstairs,” you hum, and when Freddy smirks and his eyes flash to a random bedroom down the hall, you giggle and shake your head. “Not tonight, Mr. Freddy. ‘M not sober enough.”
And your guest frowns. But you practically feel Mickey perk up behind you on the couch. “My roomie will take care of the rest.”
And you know the man isn’t thrilled, but he gives you a nod and a quiet “g’night,” before leaving the apartment, and you turn to Mickey with a playful, scolding look.
“Want to go to bed, you rude boy?”
And you can practically see that invisible tail, once again.
what tattoo's do the bills get to represent you? (images or not, up to you mamas!) 😁😍
This is hot 👀
————-
Axel probably gets your lips tattooed on his neck. Bold, bright, and literally he asks his buddy to trace over the lipstick stain you left there on each side of his neck. When he surprised you with it, you nearly cried because of just how openly proud he was to have you as his 🥺
Gordan- okay. Gordan really can’t have tattoos. ESPECIALLY ones linked to you. Given his work, if anyone found out and tried to find you- that’s his worst nightmare. And you can’t have one of him either, though he does have-
Paper clips.
Yeah I said it. He carries gold paper clips in his pocket, and you do as well. No one questions paper clips, paper clips don’t mean anything if they find them on him. But to you two? They’re everything 😍
Henry pearl has you draw him a picture. It can be anything. Doesn’t matter your artistic skills. Doesn’t matter if it’s a tree, or a lion, it’s drawn by you, and that’s what matters.
Then, he gets it tattooed on his shoulder, where you always rest your head (only to pout when he explains you need to use the OTHER shoulder for a few weeks), just so whenever he sees or touches it, he knows he’s still got you right there beside him🥰
Mark- my boy. My sweetie sweet.
Mark doesn’t do tattoos a ton, mainly because they’re expensive and maintenance can sometimes blow, but he makes an exception for you.
He takes one of the first times he ever caught you on camera saying “I love you,” and gets his friend to convert it into a sound wave. He gets it behind his ear and touches it when he’s stressed, as if to remind himself he has you, no matter what 😩❤️
Mickey has ALL the tattoos to represent you, mkay? He even has your name tattooed on him, breaking ALL the bro codes, but he wears it with pride.
To directly represent you, he has your favorite cartoon character on the knuckle of his index finger, the knuckle you always kiss, and he makes sure to keep up the maintenance if it wears so it can always be there for you😊
Roman doesn’t like tattoos either, though he does have a tattoo kink👀 but he does cave and get one to represent your relationship.
It’s a tiny little bow on his pinky finger, the “thread” thin but neat and simple- he says he specifically asked for this because “even when our relationship isn’t, the bow holds us together”
Cheesy little shit HA-
The kid, nor henry Deaver will get a tattoo. Rip 😭
Here’s a fun random head canon list for my boys because I can and will have fun HA
———
Axel is the pied piper of kids. No matter who or what the situation is, Axel is just unfathomably good with kids. There is never a crying child when he is near, and babies?? As soon as they lay their eyes on him, it is like all is good in their world.
Maybe it’s because he’s like, a human jungle gym. Who knows 😍
Gordan is EXTREMELY flexible and (super secretly) a HUGE yoga buff. Like oh my god. He does yoga in the mornings to stretch out his bones and muscles, going especially hard on himself after a mission where he can be home and relax a few days.
One morning you came down to make him breakfast and you saw him in a complete backbend, breathing through his nose, the gaps in his ribs huge with the bend.
“You enjoying the show?” He hums calmly, smiling softly with his eyes still in a relaxed close.
“Very much,” you tease, taking a seat on the couch. “Please, don’t let me stop you.” 🙈
Henry Pearl is one of the most brave bills when it comes to doing daring things. He’s always the first one to go night swimming with you, always the first in line to go on that rollercoaster, and always the first to capture and remove the massive spiders in your house.
He says it’s because he’s doing something he loves and he wants to live after being sheltered so long but.. you don’t miss the opportunity to call him crazy😂❤
Mark’s favorite guilty pleasure is McDonald’s, and he gets it typically when he has a long night of studying, a hungover friend or when he’s just had a really bad day; his favorite food in the world is a McRib and would kill one of his friends for an Oreo McFlurry most days 🙄❤
Mateo has extremely vivid dreams, so much so that he’s been late to classes, meetings, lunches/breakfasts with you because in his dream he’s gotten up and done all of those things, while in reality, he is still very much asleep.
Whenever he has something important for work, you’re sure to call him on his house phone to wake him up and get him moving so he’s not late, though this isn’t always fool proof. Because sometimes in his dream he answers it and completely misses the call, so an alarm clock across the room is what typically works😩
Mickey is really bad at subtraction and division. Asking him about multiplication, easy, addition, no sweat, but as soon as you start asking him on the fly reducing, he has a full meltdown, trying to figure it out but ultimately just grumbles at you to use his phone 😂
Roman has a very, VERY secret fear of turtles, as well as an irrational fear of crocodiles/alligators. No matter how hard Roman has searched, the little minute differences between these crocs/gators trip him up, and he can’t tell the difference between snapping turtles and fun turtles.
In turn, he tries his hardest to avoid all these creatures all together HA
(Subbing The Kid for) Henry Deaver can only eat Oreo’s- which are his favorite cookie- by first taking out the cream, soaking it in milk and eating it, followed by the cookies, one dry and one soaked. He also eats lucky charms by separating his marshmallows and cereal because “the cereal is my breakfast and the marshmallows are my dessert”
He so weird. Love him 😘
Willard is a whistler. When he walks, when he’s bored, when he’s doing basic, mundane tasks, he whistles to pass the time and keep focus, as well as keep his senses heightened. He whistles at you when you walk by, he even whistles when he’s mad in order to bring himself down a notch. Occasionally he even whistles when he breathes- and you make sure to tease him for it every time 😍
@acantharobertslove requested how would you think each Bill Character would react to being sick or unwell and needing a friend to look after them?
---------
Axel is pretty compliant when he is sick, only putting up a little bit of a fight when he first wakes up because “everyone gets stuffy in the mornings fuck off” but it typically ends once he’s in shop using the torch and nearly burning his hair off when he sneezes.
Then, he just sleeps. Occasionally he asks for soup or a gatorade to wake him up a little but for the most part, he sleeps and stays quiet.
Gordan is one of the most stubborn men you will face when he is sick. He would rather die than admit he has to show weakness, even when it comes to someone close to him. You have to beg him to stay in bed and warn him that if he doesn’t get better, his entire umpire will crumble because he won’t be on his a-game.
Occasionally you catch him trying to sneak out, but his stumbling into furniture gives him away fairly quick.
Henry is fine when he is sick. Like he accepts the help and thanks you endlessly while doing it because he knows the longer he fights it the worse it’ll be, so he just lets himself be pampered for a few days, offering to take you out when he feels better.
Mark is just a big baby when he gets sick, rejecting any and all care you try to give him but secretly needing you to enforce it. He’s “not a baby,” though if you threaten to leave him there in his pile of tissues and blankets, his eyes will immediately glaze over and he’ll pout, finally giving in and allowing you to take care of him.
Mickey absolutely gets you sick. He needs contact to keep him grounded, especially when he gets loopy, and more often than not, he just ends up getting you sick as a result of it. He takes care of you when you inevitably get whatever plagued him, but he means well.
Roman and Willard don’t “get sick,” so don’t even try to ask them to stay home or take their temperatures, nothing. Because they’re not sick. They don’t get sick. Duh.
Willard can occasionally be swayed, unable to say no to you for too long, but roman puts up more of a fight, grumbling about how dumb this is and everything. He just needs to be doing something, and laying in bed doesn’t count until you force him to (especially since you wont let him smoke. he HATES it)
Hihi! Have you ever done anything with Bill's characters and breakfast food? What would they love to cook/eat, how they like their eggs, etc.? I feel like I might remember something like this, but it might've just been like, Mickey making pancakes one time 😝
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
Also omg hi ❤️
This is my favorite and I need it forever.
This got so long see what you’ve done to me HA
———-
Axel can and will make you anything you’d like for breakfast. He’s not necessarily a morning person, but if the night before you just so happen to mention strawberries and waffles, he’ll be more than happy to comply.
His favorite breakfast however, is cinnamon rolls with a side of hash browns, bacon and eggs, though he only indulges in making it when it’s his birthday or you make them together 🥰
Gordan very rarely is around to eat breakfast with you along with lunch and dinner HA so, often before he leaves he’ll brew some coffee and writes you a loving letter; especially if it’s a mission abroad.
When he is home, however, he loves baked breakfasts; sweet breads and spreads with hot coffee and powdered sugar, so you’re sure to let him enjoy when ever he’s home 🥺
Henry Pearl is a fairly simple man; pancakes and waffles and toasts make him very, very happy. Especially if you’re so kind to make it for him, he knows it was made with all the love in the world.
When he makes breakfast for you, he usually wakes you up with gentle kisses to come with him to the kitchen, passing you a bowl of berries to munch on while he cooks for you to make sure it’s nice and fresh ☺️
Mark doesn’t typically eat breakfast foods, usually resorting to cold pizza and sandwiches to hold him over until dinner. Not to say he doesn’t like them, he just never makes them HA
However. If you’re so kind to wake him up with bagels and coffee, maybe a muffin if you’re feeling especially nice, he will absolutely return the favor, in and out of the bedroom 👀❤️
Mateo is a breakfast king. He’s always waking you up to take you to new “trendy” breakfast places, usually ending up with you both stuffed and content with your meals, or with you both looking at each other with an ‘ick’ look.
That being said, his favorite breakfast foods are doughnuts and they’re his guilty pleasure, so you’re sure to get him some after he’s had a rough night or if he’s craving some or if the breakfast places are gross that’s where he takes you HA😁
Mickey, bless him, is not allowed in the kitchen. I stand by that fact. He’ll burn everything, and god damn if he wasn’t so cute you’d scold him so bad until he cries.
But you can’t. Because it’s mickey HA.
On the flip side, he’s also is the human vacuum cleaner, eating any and all leftover that you either didn’t want or couldn’t finish. He likes any and all breakfast foods, being just as happy with a bowl of lucky charms as he is with a big stack of blueberry flapjacks 😉
Roman and Willard don’t really eat breakfast either. Relying mostly on coffee and maybe a banana, they typically stay out of the kitchen and out of your way when you cook.
But they absolutely appreciate when you make them a nice hot dinner or bring them lunch, letting them continue their work or rest easy knowing you’ve got these two man-babies under your watchful eye 😚
AND LASTLYYY
The Kid is simple. He likes dry cereals unless it’s oatmeal (which was a fun conversation to differentiate “hot cereal” from “not-hot-cereal”), which then he lickes the brown sugar cinnamon flavor.
He really likes to make you breakfast, which is typically a pop tart and orange juice while he eats his cereal with just a liiiiittle bit of milk to make it easier to chew. You’re trying to teach him how to reuse the kitchen tools but let’s be real... henry Deaver didn’t know how to cook either HAHAHAH
