A gift for @betasuppe. No clue why Kei is so infatuated with that candle, but I found it cute. We love you, Kei! Stay safe!

Obake: Little gift for @barely-nok since I felt like.. spicing things up a little~♡

[greensword101]

More Wil and Obake! As promised, @betasuppe​. You shan’t be disappointed by the results.

“Stop looking at me like that…” Wil could feel Obake glowing – glowering, dammit Globby! – at him from behind. It shouldn’t have been too hard to ask for a little bit of space, especially now that they had both settled down. As easy as it would have been for Wil to stand up and leave the room, he was too comfortable where he was. It wasn’t often that he had a chance to try composing a new song without distractions, so he tried to take advantages wherever they may be.

Maybe if he told Obake that the song he was working on was going to mock all things English, scientific and purple…but then again, ribbing him was going to distract him from his work. Sometimes, Wil had half a mind to shove a bottle of vodka into Obake’s hands and tell him to drink.

He was tolerable when he wasn’t sober and obsessed with that teen. What was his name again? Ryan? Cooper? Hero…? Hiro, the correct pronunciation. They said his cape name was Captain Cutie, but Wil thought Human Backpack would be more appropriate. What did he accomplish just flying around and letting the Red Panda do the work for him? Give orders? Guess that was what made him appealing to Obake as student material, then. Kidnapping wasn’t something Wil would like, however, and maybe if Obake directly told him to do the job, he’d warn the kid instead and hand him a taser.

What was he talking about again? Oh, right, sobriety and Obake didn’t mix well. Alcohol could accomplish what common sense couldn’t do and pulled that big stick out of his ass. Obake was still glowing – glowering, dammit! – at him and Wil could no longer concentrate on his bass.

“Baka,” he began slowly and patiently, “what is it?”

“Is this another one of your love ballads?” It wasn’t, but Obake would certainly do with something pleasant to hear that wasn’t his own monologuing.

“That’s actually how Hawk and I met,” Wil smiled at the memory. Sea Hawk had been trying to woo some girl one night at an open bar and Wil began playing on a whim. Instead of the girl being wooed by the sailor, the sailor had been wooed by Wil’s playing and they started a duet together. Wil played and Hawk sang whatever came to mind and by the end of the night…Wil’s smiled widened, and he could almost feel that mustache tickling his cheeks just then.

“Touching,” Wil’s smile slid off his face and his eyes hardened at the bored tone. It wasn’t fair that Obake could ruin the moment like that, whenever the mood came to him. They were just talking to each other. “Is this how you won the hearts of everyone you’re with?”

“I don’t have to tell you,” Wil tried focusing on his bass again and began strumming the strings until he found his rhythm again.

“I was only curious,” Obake’s voice carried no hint of an apology, “I find it interesting that you have so many gentlemen callers at your beckoning. Is this one a recent catch?”

“Not really,” Wil groused and continued playing, and decided to play that song he played for Raps and Eugene when the two went out on a boat together. He liked it and best of all, it was a love ballad.

“Please stop playing that,” Obake never showed much emotion other than irritation or boredom most of the time. This time, Wil could pick up a hint of fear. Somebody help, the man was afraid of love.

Wil let the music die down and looked at Obake plainly. And he said, with a sincere voice, “No.”

And the song continued, this time, Wil was humming along with the lyrics.

“I didn’t come here to become enchanted, I will not be swayed!”

This time, Wil stopped completely, “What.”

“I wanted to discuss something with you and I need you to be serious about this.”

Wil sighed, “Is this about the chocolate?”

Obake’s face purpled – dammit Globby! – and he sputtered, “The choco – NO! This is not to do with your sweet tooth, you fool! It’s about Kei!”

Now Wil became alarmed, “What’s wrong? Is she hurt? Did she get bad news? Does she need me to harass her mother again?”

Obake came into his spacing and held him by the shoulders, “You need to stop your antics. Now.”

“Overthinking is an antic?!”

“Your antics with me!” Obake’s face glowed – dammit Gl – oh wait, never mind… - and Wil had to rub his eyes a few moments afterwards, “If you love Kei like you claim to, then you will stop this at once and be happy with what you have!”

“I don’t even live here, if this is about the chocolate –”

“Will you stop thinking about your stomach, you tubby?!”

Wil snorted, “Tubby?”

He started to laugh, the way Obake said it in that frantic pitch was too much for him to handle. Obake kept glaring at him until the laughter stopped.

“I mean it, Wil! Stop the seduction tactics at once or you won’t be welcomed here again,” Wil blinked. Obake never called him by his name ever. Then he processed the second part of the message.

“Seduction…?”

“Kei needs me now more than ever and just because I am a man does not mean I cannot be harassed by some minstrel wannabe.”

“You think I want to have another boyfriend?! I have three, for God’s sake! Listen to me, you strangely attractive glowstick! I’M NOT INTO YOU!”

“You’re gripping my shirt in your fists and are now two inches away from kissing me...”

Wil shoved him away hard and shuddered at the thought of kissing Obake. He was attractive when he didn’t open that dumb mouth of his. And when he wasn’t trying to cause a natural – or unnatural – disaster, but that’s another story.

“Don’t worry, next guy I rope into our group is not going to be you!”

“So you were trying to get someone else charmed!”

“NO I WASN’T!”

“Not the main point,” Obake pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed, defeated, “Kei, knock some sense into him, if you could be so kind!”

“Awwwww,” Kei pouted as she walked in, “But I wanted to see you two kiss!”

“KEI!” Wil and Obake shrieked in unison while she cackled.

“How long were you listening?!” Wil gaped at her.

Kei whistled innocently, but it fooled no one.

“Tell him why I’m telling him to shove off in the future before I regret it!” Obake looked exasperatedly at her.

Wil was sure he was already regretting where this was going.

Kei smirked and held out a box. Wil took the box and opened it, dreading the surprise inside. There was a t-shirt that said BEST UNCLE on the front, with a bull underneath it.

Wil stared incomprehensively at the pair, looking between the beaming Kei and Obake – who had started smirking at the look on his face – again and again until it hit him. He felt a great rush of warmth envelop him and then –

“YOU’RE PREGNANT?!” He screamed. Wil tore at his hair, ripping out clumps, and ran out of the room and up the stairs, screaming and wailing in horror. If he wasn’t already dreading the day Obake Jr. came into the world, he would have smacked Obake for breaking into a giggling fit as he bolted.

A Valentine's Day Present/Trade with @betasuppe

My OCs Morgan, Seth, and Booker on a double date with Obake and Kei!

It contains a few future-y things for Morgan and Seth, some things that aren't quite canon-compliant with the universe I've set up in Angel of Vengeance, but still fun!

"You're sure they're going to like me?" Booker asked nervously, as Morgan meticulously straightened his tie.

"Babe, of course they will," Morgan said.

"Kei is going to love you," Seth said from behind Morgan, zipping up her dress.

"What about Obake?" Booker asked, eyes flashing with fear. He knew all about the criminal and how he was a part of Morgan and Seth's found family. As a recent addition to that found family, Booker was a little bit worried that he wouldn't live up to Obake's high standards.

"What's not to like?" Seth asked, looking Booker over with a satisfied nod. They hadn't been sure at first, either, when Booker began flirting with the married couple. But Booker had soon won Seth and Morgan's hearts and they'd been a happy trio ever since. Seth's sister Sadie and Sadie's boyfriends liked Booker, Morgan's mom liked Booker, and their son Florian adored him. The last true test was Obake and Kei.

"Oh, I don't know, the fact that I'm not evil or a genius? I'm not cool like you two!"

Morgan blushed, "Aw, babe, you think we're cool?"

"The coolest people I've ever dated."

"Well, that's obviously true," Seth agreed, "That we're cool, not that you aren't. You're forgetting one important thing."

"What's that?" Booker asked, still nervous.

"You're a bartender. Obake loves bartenders. He loves my sister after all. You two are going to hit it off great."

"Yeah, okay, but… We're not going to a bar for our date. What if he doesn't like me if I'm not serving him alcohol?"

Morgan laughed, "He's not that shallow. You're both overthinking it. Kei and Obake will love you because we love you. I promise that's more than enough."

Morgan, Seth, and Booker had no clue that a similar conversation was happening across the city, in the Aken lair.

"What if he doesn't like me?"

"Awwww, Obake, I'm surprised you're worried about that kind of thing."

"I'm not. Not significantly, at least. It just occurred to me. He's very important to Morgan and Seth so I would prefer if we got along."

"You can't control how other people feel about you, 'Bake. You can just control how you act. So show Booker the warm and loving Obake that we know and love."

He stared at her a moment, "You're making fun of me."

"What? No, I'm not. You're part of our family. And we're a good family."

"No, we're an evil family."

"Well, you know what I mean. Booker clearly loves Morgan and Seth, he's going to at least try to get along with the people they care about. As long as you're putting in the same level of effort I'm sure things will go swimmingly."

"Last time I went swimming I nearly drowned."

"And then you moved in with me! So try to think positive."

Obake sighed and then put on a smile, "Alright. Let's go."

They met at a trendy little restaurant, well dressed but still out of place. Morgan wore a shimmery dark purple dress that hugged her curves. Kei was wearing the same purple, almost as if they'd coordinated, though her dress was a soft velvet with sheer sleeves. They were both wearing heels and they both looked divine. Seth and Booker wore matching suits and their ties matched Morgan's dress, though Booker wore a bowtie and Seth wore a half-Windsor knot. Obake wore a dark red turtleneck underneath a black blazer. It had not occurred to him to try and match Kei.

"Obake, Kei, this is Booker," Morgan said, pushing past any awkwardness and launching right into the introductions.

Booker took a deep, steadying breath and held out a hand to Obake.

"It's nice to meet you, sir."

Obake shook, maintaining eye contact, refusing to show how nervous he was as well.

"Yes… It's nice to meet you too. And you don't have to call me sir. Obake is fine."

When they stepped away from each other, both feeling like they'd navigated a minefield, Kei dragged Booker into a hug.

"We've heard SO much about you, Booker!"

"All good things, I hope," Booker chuckled. Unlike most of the group, Booker didn't have anything to hide. He wasn't a criminal, he was just a dude. He loved his partners and he liked his job and his favorite part of any day was when he was playing with Florian and the cats. To Morgan and Seth, he was already part of the family. He really hoped that Kei and Obake felt the same way.

"Oh, of course. And we can't wait to get to know you more. Let's go sit down."

They sat in a circular booth, with Obake and Booker ending up sitting right next to each other. Kei was on the other side of Obake and Seth was on the other side of Booker, with Morgan next to them. For a moment, it was awkward again.

"So, who's watching Flor tonight?" Kei asked before the awkwardness could linger.

"We left him with the robot," Seth said with a shrug, sounding serious.

Obake glanced at Morgan, who laughed.

"Florian is with my mom."

"Well, Teddy is with his sister. He misses Flor, we should arrange a playdate soon," Kei said.

They talked about the little kids for a little longer, which lightened the mood. Booker shared a photo of Flor and the cats asleep in a massive cuddle pile. Obake watched with interest, catching on to how Booker cared about Florian as much as he cared about Morgan and Seth. Obake decided right then that Booker fit perfectly into the crime fam.

Booker still felt a little bit out of place.

"How'd you meet Morgan and Seth?"

"It's embarrassing," Booker muttered.

"Aw, come on, it's not that embarrassing," Morgan encouraged.

"Well, I was at work and Morgan walked in and I was a little um.,." Booker looked flustered, "I was speechless, for a moment because, well look at her, she's amazing. And I'm not the guy who normally flirts with customers but that day I took my chance and then-"

"I told him that I was waiting on my spouse," Morgant pitched in.

"Hit me like a dagger to my heart. I apologized, of course, and we were chatting. I was trying to make the situation less awkward. And then Seth arrived and once again it was like I couldn't breathe. Like I was standing there in front of the two most attractive people I'd ever met. And then it clicked. I recognized Seth. I mean, I work with Sadie. I could see the resemblance between her and Seth. And that's when it got really embarrassing because that's when I asked them if they were poly too."

Kei laughed a little at that, it was charming to see Booker talk about navigating the awkward beginning of his relationship.

"It caught me off guard," Seth said, "But Morgan and I had talked about it before. We knew our relationship was solid and we'd told each other that if either of us found someone we wanted to date we'd entertain it, and here was this guy who seemingly wanted to date both of us… We thought we might as well give it a try."

"And Booker is amazing, so I'm really glad we did," Morgan said, reaching over Seth to rest a hand on Booker's shoulder.

"I'm really happy too," Booker said, starry-eyed, "I love this family."

"Awww, that's so cute. You three are so cute together. We're glad you're part of the family, right Obake?"

Booker held his breath a moment, hoping he'd gained Obake's approval and not knowing that he'd earned it about half an hour ago.

"Of course. I can see why Seth and Morgan love you."

Booker beamed, "Thank you, sir. I mean, Obake. Thank you, Obake."

That was when Obake realized that Booker had been just as nervous to meet him as he had been to meet Booker, and he let out a surprised laugh.

"What's so funny?" Kei asked, poking him in the side.

Obake turned to Booker, "I was nervous about meeting you."

"Really, why?" Now Booker was the one who was surprised.

"Because I'm a bit of… An acquired taste. I wasn't sure you would like me or if you could see past the bad stuff I’ve done.”

“I thought you wouldn’t like me because I don’t do badass stuff like you guys,” Booker admitted.

“It seems like we were both worried for nothing,” Obake said.

Morgan lifted her drink, “Let’s toast to us.”

“To us,” Kei agreed.

“To our family,” Obake corrected, clinking his drink with Kei and the others.

“To our family.”

Your post got me thinking about how different the shipping is in the BH6 fandom now vs when the movie first came out. Obviously there were fewer characters to work with so people were shipping things like Krei x Abigail and Cass x Callaghan, no one seems to anymore, plus Tadashi and Gogo was a popular ship just like him and HL. Though the crossover ships with Hiro still seem to be popular even with him having the 3 potnetial love interests in the show. Not saying any of this is good or bad, i just thought it was interesting

People really shipped Abigail and Krei? Isn't Abigail, like, much younger than him?

Although I guess you can't really tell from this picture, and I don't think an age was never given in the movie.

Though if my tin-foil theory about her comic counterpart is true, we'll go with 28 and leave it at that.

Tadashi/anyone seems to still be a popular pairing even to this day because there's so much that we still don't know about him (and to be honest won't know about him). Heck, I'm sure there were Tadashi/Abigail people out there as well.

There's also Abigail/Go Go stuff, for some reason.

...

By the way, don't look that up on AO3. This is your only warning.

But yeah, it's very interesting that people who don't interact at all get their fair share of shipping attention (like the ones you said about Cass and Callaghan, who AFAIK don't meet at all in the movie). I guess that's the fun of having characters that don't get the same spotlight as the main ones. It'd be like people shipping Momakase and Sirque.

And yes, I know who you are, Momakase/Sirque shipper. I see you.

I'm...not sure what you mean by crossover ships. I'm guessing it's Hiro and someone from a different movie entirely, and if that's it, that's totally true. The BH6 fanbase is still active out there in general, and the shipping is still prevalent as well.

And nowadays you have a plethora of characters to choose from, from Sirque to Obake to Momakase to Megan to anyone in between.

Just leave Karmi for Hiro. That's all I care about. XD

A gift for the lovely @barely-nok​!

Obake and Dj Parasite are on a date! And they decided to go dancing together!

The Samba class will be a one time thing though...

[baymaksu]

A gift for @barely-nok, you wanted to see them happy? It’s certainly possible when you have a man who truly believes “Nothing is Impossible.”

When it inextricably begins to snow in San Fransokyo, Obake takes Kei for a romantic stroll to enjoy the rare occasion. Being the refined gentleman he is, he gives her his coat and wraps his childhood scarf around the both of them. Topping it off with hot cocoa with marshmallows to melt her heart.

Mr. Aken may be a man that’s body runs abnormally colder than most, but he’s not cold- blooded towards Kei. His memento from a childhood mishap may blur right and wrong, but it feels right for him to be with Kei. And that speaks volumes of how special she is. She deserves to be happy, as do you @barely-nok :)
