alright, shendak bookstore au it is then. i have a completely unrelated au where sendak works in a bookstore cause it works out based on the characterization i often run with for him, so we’ll take the premise from that and twist it to fit into a new au

sendak is majoring in history, and he works part time at the bookstore while also taking classes. it’s one of those old timey used bookstores that smells like old ink and paper... sendak loves it in there.

the bookstore owners are kolivan and zarkon. they’ve been married for like 30+ years (the galra equivalent of that is probably over two centuries) and they’re still gross and married and in love even after all that time

shiro is in there looking for used textbooks for his new college class, sendak offers to help him look around the shelves, is utterly oblivious to how shiro is immediately like 👀👀 over him... idk if y’all know this but sendak is like Peak Sexy for a galra... that shoulder/waist ratio, that height... not that shiro is aware of what is Peak Sexy for galra cause he’s not galra b u t

they dance around each other forever because shiro can’t read galra flirting signals and sendak can’t read human flirting signals. neither one makes a move because they don’t want to assume anything or possibly ruin the friendship they’re building and they genuinely can’t tell if actual flirting is going on or if it’s a cultural thing.

meanwhile kolivan and zarkon have a bet going on how long it’ll take them to get a clue.

Oh boy, another one of my faves! :3

who hogs the duvetHaxus. Mostly he just hogs Sendak though. He likes to be warm!

who texts/rings to check how their day is goingHaxus. He also texts other things...

who’s the most creative when it comes to giftsHaxus prides himself on it

who gets up first in the morningSendak; Haxus likes to sleep.

who suggests new things in bedHaxus. ;)

who cries at moviesDefinitely Sendak.

who gives unprompted massagesHaxus. 

who fusses over the other when they’re sickBoth are pretty fussy over the other, but Sendak maybe slightly more because Haxus is so rarely incapacitated it’s upsetting to him.

who gets jealous easiestI think Haxus, but that’s not to say it would be ‘easy’ at all

who has the most embarrassing taste in musicProbably Sendak, listening to the same terrible dad music as Zarkon

who collects something unusualSendak probably collects unusual weapons and stuff from planets he’s conquered. Haxus is more about food when he’s travelling, so

who takes the longest to get readySendak, but Haxus helps him.

who is the most tidy and organisedDEFINITELY Haxus. It’s one of the few things they argue about (although it’s not serious)

who gets most excited about the holidaysSendak, and he is infectious about it :3

who is the big spoon/little spoonHaxus likes to be the big spoon and bury his face in all the thick fur at the back of Sendak’s neck. Alternately he will just sprawl all over him.

who gets most competitive when playing games and/or sportsThey are both equally competitive, I think. VICTORY OR DEATH!

who starts the most argumentsHaxus, probably about Sendak leaving his laundry everywhere AGAIN

who suggests that they buy a petSendak, but Haxus isn’t really into it.

what couple traditions they haveHaxus always puts Sendak’s armour on him before a big battle.

who made the first moveHaxus. I wrote a fic about it! :v

who brings flowers homeSendak. :3

3. being in denial about weight gain.

16. office AU setting.

(Basically just canon divergent in that he didn’t get his old job back and had to find a new one)

Warnings: None

Thulaz + Exhausted Parent Kiss || Prompt List

Slowly, Ulaz made his way through the base. Exhaustion was beginning to seep into his bones. He had just gotten off a fifteen hour long shift in the medical bay, working overtime due to an influx of injured Blades that had come through the base in the last dya. While he hadn’t had much choice in the matter when he was called in, Ulaz had still felt terrible about leaving Thace alone with Keith so soon after the cub’s arrival on base. Nevertheless, Thace had insisted that he could handle Keith’s incessant fussiness that had started just after they had returned.

He didn’t even realize he had arrived back at their room until he was stepping through the threshold, the door closing behind him with a barely audible hiss.

“Thace? I’m home,” Ulaz said—perhaps louder than he should have. A faint hiss came from the far side of the room, where the bed was. As his ears perked up in surprise, Ulaz’s gaze snapped in the direction the hiss had come from, and though the room was nearly pitch black, he was able to pick out the outline of Thace’s form where he lay.

“You’re going to wake him,” Thace muttered under his breath. His eyes flashed in the darkness, little more than narrowed slits as he peered at Ulaz. His irritation appeared to be more borne out of exasperation than anger, though, and he turned his attention back to the cub asleep on his chest. In spite of the noise, Keith hadn’t stirred. A soft, stuttering purr was coming from the cub’s throat as Thace began grooming his headfur with short, firm licks.

“How is he doing?” Ulaz asked, quieter this time as he approached the bedside. Despite only having Keith in their lives for a couple of days, Thace had already developed a snippy protectiveness of him that was very reminiscent of a new birthparent.

“Finally asleep,” Thace whispered. “He’s been fussy all day… and all night…” He trailed off, and Ulaz caught the flash of his fangs in the dim light as he yawned. When Thace spoke again, his voice was little more than half-awake mumble. “I haven’t gotten any sleep since you went on shift…”

Thace’s yawn seemed to be contagious—Ulaz had to fight to hold back his own yawn, and if he hadn’t remembered he was still dressed in uniform, Ulaz might have crawled into bed right then and there. Instead, he leaned over, lightly nudging his nose against Thace’s temple and earning a soft, sleeping chirp in return. In spite of his tiredness, Thace’s ears perked up as their lips brushed—if only for a brief moment—and a muted purr rumbled in Thace’s chest.

“I’ll be right back,” Ulaz softly as they parted, noses still brushing.

“Can’t guarantee I’ll be awake then,” Thace mumbled as he sunk into the blankets, drawing Keith closer as the cub gave a soft, squeaky yawn.
