Mamma mia, here we go again :)
💙 Buggy & Catherine – No-Kids AU Headcanons 💙
• Buggy hates Catherine’s plush octopus.
She calls it “Plush Buggy” just to mess with him. He once tried to toss it across the room, but when she caught him red-handed, she kissed it and whispered, “At least this one doesn’t snore.” Buggy yelled in response.
• Catherine sings while making pancakes or sandwiches (she's not good at cooking)
Usually in her pajama shorts and a stolen Buggy's t-shirt. Buggy sends his floating head from the bedroom just to catch the performance. The real him walks in five seconds later with the most lovesick face (which he tries to hide).
• Catherine loves watching stupid shows
Bachelor-style crap? For God's sake! She'll laugh at the stupid characters. People who dress up as if they were babies to do ridiculous things and make money? She'll watch it. Buggy will grumble that she's watching crap, but he'll sit on the couch next to her and stay until the end just to hear her laugh.
• Buggy calls her “Catherine” when he’s annoyed, sometimes "Catherine Elizabeth Mitchell" (he also calls out her full name when he... well, you know), and “cotton candy or Cathie-pie” when he’s smitten.
• Buggy reads over her shoulder.
Even though he insists he “hates books.” But when she’s reading on the couch/bed/in the chair, he always ends up with his chin on her shoulder, asking too many questions about the plot.
• Catherine keeps a small first-aid kit for Buggy’s clumsy moments.
He always says he’s “fine,” but once she patched up a finger cut, kissed it, and Buggy got all flustered like a teenager.
• They slow dance in the kitchen.
Usually when Catherine’s making tea or when Buggy’s had a long day. There’s no music just the fridge humming and their quiet laughter.
• They sometimes get nothing done on chore days.
Laundry? Folded halfway. Kitchen? Mid-cleaned.
• Buggy’s favorite guilty pleasure is when Catherine scratches his scalp while he lies in her lap.
She loves silly prints. Fish-in-a-sweater/shark accountants t-shirts, pajama pants with animals, and a shark pajama (Buggy gave her one). Buggy nags and teases her about her clothes, but deep down he adores her for her childlike spontaneity.
• Catherine knows exactly how to shut Buggy up.
He can bark, brag, whine, tease, but one brush of her lips on his neck, one tug on that scarf, and his mouth is suddenly out of order. For a man who lives for attention, he’s awfully quiet when she’s in control.
• Buggy is obsessed with her legs.
Like, obsessed. She could be reading a book, legs crossed, and suddenly he’s lying on the couch groaning “you’re doing that on purpose.”
Spoiler: sometimes she is.
• He has a sixth sense for when she’s wearing something new underneath.
They’ll be at dinner. She’ll give him that look. His hand will twitch on his glass. He’ll lean in and mutter, “You’re evil.” Catherine just smirks and takes another bite of dessert.
• Sometimes she steals his coat and wears nothing else underneath.
Buggy doesn’t survive those days. He tries to act cool. He never succeeds. At some point he always yells, “WHY are you like this?!” And she whispers, “Because you love it.”
• Catherine is the queen of "innocent" touches in public.
His shoulder. Fingers sliding across his wrist. Buggy will be mid-conversation with Cabaji and suddenly wheeze, “I need to go check on something!”
• Buggy’s favorite sentence from her?
"You’re mine, Buggy the Clown. And only mine."
She doesn’t say it often but when she does, his brain short circuits. Clown.exe has stopped working.
• Buggy considers himself a sex god (Catherine once called him that and since then this phrase has been firmly lodged in his head)
“You’re lucky, cotton candy. You get the best of the best.”
Sometimes she shuts him up with a smirk and a very effective trick she learned from a book.
• Buggy lives for post-rehearsal kisses.
Still sweaty, still in costume, he finds her backstage, yanks her close and murmurs, “Need my reward.”
• Buggy's office was banned after several nsfw-stories.
Especially after Buggy's birthday, when Cabaji was in the next room and they didn't know about it. Since then, Buggy has been trying to break this ban and sometimes he almost succeeds.
• Buggy knows exactly where to aim to break Catherine.
He is not a fool at all. He has long since learned that Catherine's neck is her weak spot and often takes advantage of it.
Once during the second adventure she wondered if all Buggy's body parts could be detached. And while he was sitting in the chair, his dick was in her. Since then, Catherine did not ask this question anymore, because she found it strange.
• They once stayed in bed all day.
Just to prove they could. Even though they are over 30. Hot kisses, hot breath, wet sheets, soft laughter.
When Catherine got up to shower, Buggy called after her, “Round six after tea?”
She yelled back: “Make it seven!”
The next day they were both grumbling that their backs hurt.
