Khel would insist. Too bad it’s a small umbrella though, and only covers like half of Nate’s one shoulder. Hope you didn’t decide to wear white today, Lutz.
The popcorn at the cinema -
Khel would insist. He would eat like half a kernel and then just hold the rest of it to the seat so Nate’d have to reach for his crotch if he wanted popcorn.
The baby, when it cries -
Bros babysitting Alma’s baby?? Khel would try to play ‘airplane’ with it and “accidentally” drop it a few times—so Nate’s permanent baby-holder.
The ice cream cone, when they share -
Doesn’t matter. It still ends up all over Nate’s face and boobs.
The remote, when they sit down to watch a movie -
Khel will, and then spends the entire movie disassembling the remote. He’ll probably hit a bunch of buttons in the process and turn the language to Swahili with Korean subtitles. Nate suffers through it.
The basket, when they go shopping -
Khel, and he fills it with the grossest/most embarrassing things before leaving it to Nate to check out.
The door, on dates -
Nate probably does it to be nice, Khel does it to feign kindness.
The other’s hand, most often -
Khel, and he passes it off as a cultural custom—it is—but also because he knows Nate doesn’t trust him, so subdued physical contact is just another way to reaffirm their bond—hand-holding mimics trust. And practicing the actions will slowly validate them.
Their breath, upon seeing the other on their wedding day -
Khel, because he’s snuck in inside the body of a wedding guest, and being in such close proximity to a courier of heaven is really goddamn risky. But hey, can’t miss bro’s wedding day. Even if he is getting hitched to some disgusting angel.
The camera, when they take pictures together -
Khel. All the shots are of Nate from the neck down.
