In preparation for the LaDs writing blog I'll inevitably make, I did a little Caleb study; bc I haven't written anything in a year (my last fic was neatly 10k words LMFAOO)
No warnings, all fluff and a lot of teasing!!
Tags: Established relationship, teasing, use of "pips", clothes stealing, both reader and Caleb have a degree in yearnology for each other
Man... My Caleb brain rot is so bad
“Pips! I'm back early, I picked up some groceries on my way here I was thinking of making some- is that my hoodie that got lost?" There in the dim light of your apartment, you're caught red handed by your boyfriend wearing his stolen hoodie. "I… perchance will you let me stache this somewhere and pretend like you never saw this?” You stutter out, a face a fierce shade of scarlet. "Not a chance.” Caleb says matter-of-factly, a smug smile absorbs his handsome features. " In fact, I'll be soooo kind and let a little thief explain themselves.” Caleb sets the groceries he bought on the kitchen counter and plants himself on one of the island chairs crossing his arms playfully. “Go ahead, I'm waiting." There's no malice behind his words whatsoever, just a teasing boyish smirk.
You cautiously step into the kitchen, eyes darting around for an escape route. You may be a deep space hunter but being teased by your boyfriend triggers your fight or flight. Your feet land in front of him and your eyes slowly drift to his. You take in a deep breath before beginning. " So uh, do you remember the last time I was in Skyhaven?” "Of course, it was the last time I saw you after all.” " Right right, I uh, well you went for a run before we went to bed because you had to leave earlier than usual the next day. You went to go shower and… I kinda saw your hoodie you were wearing just sitting there and I knew I wasn't gonna see you again for a few weeks so I just kinda I dunno… took it?" You mumble quietly. Caleb snots, shaking his head in disbelief. “So why last week when I told you my favorite hoodie was missing you didn't confess?" He presses, an eyebrow raised tauntingly. “I was going to tell you I swear! I just… This is humiliating and I'm never going to recover- it smells like you alright!! I miss you and it smells like you, so when I miss you really bad, I put it on.” You bury your face and the oversized sleeves.
Caleb is trying his best to fight back the massive stupid lovestruck grin on his face, but ultimately loses. “So you're a thief and a pervert. Who would've guessed…" Your face couldn't possibly get more red as you rip your head out of your hands and go smack him on the arm, however he easily intercepts the blow pulling you into a tight embrace. “If you wanted something that smells like me, you could've just asked. You know that right?" You nuzzle your burning cheeks against his chest. “I know, it's just humiliating and I don't wanna make you feel bad, because we both have demanding jobs.” He scoffs. " My hot girlfriend asking me for an item of my clothing that smells like me because she misses me; would make me feel weirdly honored, thank you very much.” You wack him lightly on the chest. " Who's the pervert now?” " Mmm, still the pretty girl who decided to steal my gross post run hoodie I think.”
