Pretty sure this is a daily occurrence in the Mutantstuck household. Can't find a source, but it showed up in my memories.

"How long did it take you, D?"

"To—" Oh. To figure out how the hell to deal with the fact that you're never going to see your sister again. "I don't know. It felt...like forever. A couple years, I guess. It hurt for longer than that—hell, it still hurts if I think about it too long. Used to feel like I did something wrong, like I was the reason I lost you and her both."

god i love you. you know exactly what i always want an excuse to think about 

Ambrose is the best at cooking out of the four siblings 

(mostly because he learned from Jeff as like. a DIY form of anger management. breaking eggs violently is surprisingly calming, even if you do need to do it into a separate bowl in case of shell shattering) 

he is very slightly allergic to several fruits and tends to forget until they make his mouth burn 

he’s spent a considerable amount of time trying to make a replica of Cal (mostly during the window of time that he didn’t have him) and never managed it

he bought Cal at a thrift store in Georgia during a really fuckin rough mental patch when he was like thirteen 

D asks him if he wants to get the serial number tattoo on his arm covered up about once every six months. he always says no but he’s gotten a couple more tattoos added to the ones he already had 

like specifically the date Wade killed Bro under the serial number. just a lil reminder. everyone other than Dave thinks that’s morbid.
