Hope things get better dear💕How about Arin reading the walkthrough to Dan during the Beefed Up Zelda playthrough with Dan's legs in his lap. Arin's got one hand on his phone and the other gently kneading Dan's calf and he sneaks little glances between dungeons, smiling at the pure concentration on Dan's face and losing his shit whenever he gets frustrated. Thinking about the first time they played it (wow 5yrs!) and how far they've come since then, then leaning over & pecking him on the cheek💖
listen man, cute domesticity like that is my absolute SHIT. and this scenario is adorable bc it gives way to so much introspection on arin’s part like wow, here’s his bestie, his partner, still there beside him after all these years. he starts feeling a little nostalgic about the first time they payed it and kinda thinks back on how he’d never be able to be this close and physically intimate with dan during that time. how they’ve grown so much as people
so once he does give dan a little smooch, dan just looks over with the most sheepish smile on his face like “what was that for?” and arin just giggles like “nothing, i just love you”
