... J'ai gros coeur.

[Said quietly and mostly to himself, of course. But this whole thing -
It's hard with his helmet on. He never thought about this, what would happen if someone were to hug him while wearing it. It's not a situation that either he or his Boss thought about while creating the helmet in the first place.
He can't see them at all, can't tuck them under his chin, nothing like that.
So off it goes again. This time entirely, getting placed on the couch beside him. Just so he can hug them properly, give them the hug they obviously needed.]


... I like you too, Nenett. And I'm glad ya feel that way -
I been tryin' very... very hard.

[Is it an awkward way to say it? Chipp doesn't think of it that way. It's just a Nen way to say it, in his mind.
It makes it easy for him to understand. Easier to just settle into that hug and be glad it's happening at all.
He doesn't get hugs very much, let him have this.]


... You wanna... try some of them treats I brought?
Ain't nothin' soft, but I think you gonna be able to eat'em anyway. Might even like'em.

Yeah, the snacks! You remembered that one - great, don't wanna have to explain what snacks are again.
Here, lemme just -

[One hand leaves Nen's shoulders just for a second, just so he can snatch a bag out of the air as he floats it over to himself with his magic.
(It's magnetic magic. Sorry if their hair ends up a little frizzy.)
But since they're in the prime position for it... the bag gets put in Nenonen's lap.]


Got hard candies, couple types of chips - that's with one "p", it's a kinda snack made outta potatoes. They ain't a paste, but you could chew'em into one pretty good, I think?
Also got some puddin' cups and Jello cups, I feel like you gonna dig those.

... Oh, you gonna need a spoon -

[Without even thinking about it, without any hesitation, he reaches for his helmet.
And he snaps the antennas right off of it.

With his magic, they form into a glob of solid metal for a moment, before reshaping into a nice little spoon for their use.]


Here! Should work just fine.

"Eat", you mean "what should I eat". "Spoonin'" is somethin' different altogether.
Somethin'... real different.
But, uhh... you like fruit, right? Try some of that Jello in there.

[He got cherry and grape flavors!! The worst yet most popular kinds!!]
nugrass: (📺⇹ 58)

[personal profile] nugrass 2023-04-15 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
... Uhh. [Fuck. He forgot that Nen isn't the type to just leave well enough alone.
He actually has to look away in thought for a moment, rubbing his chin as his face scrunches up.]


... Okay, it's -
Well, first, don't go doin' this with just... anyone, okay? It's kinda special, save it for someone special to ya.
Someone that makes your chest feel funny, you know? The kinda person you wanna see all the time.

[This is the closest he's probably ever going to get when it comes to explaining what love is.
Because that's the closest he's ever really figured out for himself.]


Spoonin' is... it's a type of cuddlin'. Y'know - holdin' someone else just for the sake of holdin'em. Like a bigger, longer hug for someone special.
You got yourself and whoever layin' down together, all curled up with your back against their chest - or the other way 'round, guess that's possible.
But the way you do it, it makes ya both look like spoons together in a drawer. So that's how it got its name.

It's good for naps. As far as I know, ain't done it myself.

...

[Of course. Of course they're gonna ask that. What a jab right in that precious, sweet, pure heart of his.
He ends up letting out a weary sigh, like he's a tired ol' dog that's sick of life and ready to pass on already.]


I ain't done it 'cause no one's liked me enough for it.
What do you think of the Jello?

[- SPOON IN HIS FACE.
It gets stared at with big, wide eyes, almost going cross-eyed with how close it is.
He suddenly has no idea what's going on anymore. Again.
Being... offered to be spoon-fed sweets?? And asked if he wants to cuddle?????
By Nenonen?????????

Unsurprisingly, his face near immediately takes a bright, luminescent shade of Dayglo orange, glowing bright enough to make all of his freckles stand out.]


U-uhh...... [Is he even ALLOWED to say yes??] ... Well--
Like I said, it's good for naps... b-but I don't sleep, y'know - the dead don't gotta sleep, so it's...
Kind of a waste, right?

[help he needs an adult
an adultier adult that knows what to do]
nugrass: (📺⇹ 68)

[personal profile] nugrass 2023-04-15 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, now he is just an even brighter shade. The blush is starting to trail down his neck and everything. He'd almost be sweating if that was something he did easily.
Instead, he's looking up at the ceiling now, brow raised and scrunched in an expression Nen will likely not see for a long time beyond now -
Catholic Guiltâ„¢.]


It's -
You gotta save it for someone special! I ain't special!
I'm just the one teachin' ya French and how to eat Jello!
nugrass: (📺⇹ 68)

listen he's SUFFERING ok

[personal profile] nugrass 2023-04-16 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
It's - that's not -

[He's now blushing so brightly, it's questionable whether he's got any blood left in the rest of his body at all.
(He doesn't. Reapers don't use blood the same way was humans. Fun fact.)

After a second of suffering further, he brings his hands to his face so he can give it a good, hard rub in frustration. Complete with the sort of frustrated grumble you might expect.]


It's about love! You do that kinda shit with the person ya love! Okay!?
But I can't teach ya what that is, 'cause I don't got a fuckin' clue if I can feel love in the first place, so just -
Look, there's a couple books in the box for that too, so read'em! Think about'em real hard!
Then you can ask me for that kinda thing!

[Because yes, he did, in fact, make sure to grab a book or two on the concept of love and marriage. Because they want him as a husband.
So it's only fair to make sure they actually understand what that even MEANS.]
nugrass: (📺⇹ 72)

[personal profile] nugrass 2023-04-16 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
[This whole thing ends up with Chipp covering his face entirely, letting another grumble out into his hands.
This feels like -
Like sitting in an empty room with the "good" cop trying to get answers you don't have out of you.
He hates that he has experience with that enough to make the comparison, but it's enough of a comparison to help him gain a bit more of his bearings.
(Beside him, his helmet goes to static. Anytime he's feeling something this strong while it's nearby, it'll do that.)

His hands come away from his face with a sigh, just enough that he can look Nen right in theirs.]


... I don't know if I even feel love.
I mean, if you decide ya love me or somethin', then I'll give it a shot. Ain't gonna deny you stuff you deserve to learn about, once you know enough 'bout it to make those kinda decisions.
But just know it'll be for your sake.
nugrass: (📺⇹ 72)

YOURE KILLIN ME SMALLS

[personal profile] nugrass 2023-04-16 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
...

[There's no way in hell that Chipp wouldn't end up gawking at them for such a thing.
For... his sake? They wanna do this stuff for his sake? Because he might not feel love?
It's obvious just from the look on his face that he doesn't understand the idea in the slightest. Doing something like that, so selfless, for someone who may not get anything out of it -
What's the point of that?

...

Then again, there was never any guarantee that your loved ones got anything out of having their graves tended to, either.
And that's something he'd done for years, even in cities where he didn't know a single soul.
His face twists up into something complicated, his usual permanent expression of anger colored with shades of emotions he doesn't even really have names for, and he lets himself have at least one nice thing out of all this -
He wraps his arms around Nenonen and draws them close to his chest, tucking them under his chin in a snug embrace.]


... Just promise me you'll read the books 'n think hard 'bout the decisions you makin' here.
Promise me that, and I'll... show you how to cuddle. Or spoon. Or whatever you lookin' for from me, here.
You too good for someone like me. Too good.
nugrass: (📺⇹ 25)

[personal profile] nugrass 2023-04-16 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if you wanna do it, wouldn't be right for me to tell ya no.

[Said with a sigh in his voice, a clear sign that he's giving up on fighting it. If Nenonen chose him to explore this part of life with, then he's been chosen.
As far as he figures, he can at least help them learn before sending them off to go find themself an actual partner.

The cold feeling of the Jello ending up against his stomach isn't hard to miss - with a wave of one of his hands, his magic scoops it all up, cup and all, to deposit neatly on the table.]


You done with the snacks? We can put it all up for later.

WII????
