“Stop looking at me like that…” Wil could feel Obake glowing – glowering, dammit Globby! – at him from behind. It shouldn’t have been too hard to ask for a little bit of space, especially now that they had both settled down. As easy as it would have been for Wil to stand up and leave the room, he was too comfortable where he was. It wasn’t often that he had a chance to try composing a new song without distractions, so he tried to take advantages wherever they may be.

Maybe if he told Obake that the song he was working on was going to mock all things English, scientific and purple…but then again, ribbing him was going to distract him from his work. Sometimes, Wil had half a mind to shove a bottle of vodka into Obake’s hands and tell him to drink.

He was tolerable when he wasn’t sober and obsessed with that teen. What was his name again? Ryan? Cooper? Hero…? Hiro, the correct pronunciation. They said his cape name was Captain Cutie, but Wil thought Human Backpack would be more appropriate. What did he accomplish just flying around and letting the Red Panda do the work for him? Give orders? Guess that was what made him appealing to Obake as student material, then. Kidnapping wasn’t something Wil would like, however, and maybe if Obake directly told him to do the job, he’d warn the kid instead and hand him a taser.

What was he talking about again? Oh, right, sobriety and Obake didn’t mix well. Alcohol could accomplish what common sense couldn’t do and pulled that big stick out of his ass. Obake was still glowing – glowering, dammit! – at him and Wil could no longer concentrate on his bass.

“Baka,” he began slowly and patiently, “what is it?”

“Is this another one of your love ballads?” It wasn’t, but Obake would certainly do with something pleasant to hear that wasn’t his own monologuing.

“That’s actually how Hawk and I met,” Wil smiled at the memory. Sea Hawk had been trying to woo some girl one night at an open bar and Wil began playing on a whim. Instead of the girl being wooed by the sailor, the sailor had been wooed by Wil’s playing and they started a duet together. Wil played and Hawk sang whatever came to mind and by the end of the night…Wil’s smiled widened, and he could almost feel that mustache tickling his cheeks just then.

“Touching,” Wil’s smile slid off his face and his eyes hardened at the bored tone. It wasn’t fair that Obake could ruin the moment like that, whenever the mood came to him. They were just talking to each other. “Is this how you won the hearts of everyone you’re with?”

“I don’t have to tell you,” Wil tried focusing on his bass again and began strumming the strings until he found his rhythm again.

“I was only curious,” Obake’s voice carried no hint of an apology, “I find it interesting that you have so many gentlemen callers at your beckoning. Is this one a recent catch?”

“Not really,” Wil groused and continued playing, and decided to play that song he played for Raps and Eugene when the two went out on a boat together. He liked it and best of all, it was a love ballad.

“Please stop playing that,” Obake never showed much emotion other than irritation or boredom most of the time. This time, Wil could pick up a hint of fear. Somebody help, the man was afraid of love.

Wil let the music die down and looked at Obake plainly. And he said, with a sincere voice, “No.”

And the song continued, this time, Wil was humming along with the lyrics.

“I didn’t come here to become enchanted, I will not be swayed!”

This time, Wil stopped completely, “What.”

“I wanted to discuss something with you and I need you to be serious about this.”

Wil sighed, “Is this about the chocolate?”

Obake’s face purpled – dammit Globby! – and he sputtered, “The choco – NO! This is not to do with your sweet tooth, you fool! It’s about Kei!”

Now Wil became alarmed, “What’s wrong? Is she hurt? Did she get bad news? Does she need me to harass her mother again?”

Obake came into his spacing and held him by the shoulders, “You need to stop your antics. Now.”

“Overthinking is an antic?!”

“Your antics with me!” Obake’s face glowed – dammit Gl – oh wait, never mind… - and Wil had to rub his eyes a few moments afterwards, “If you love Kei like you claim to, then you will stop this at once and be happy with what you have!”

“I don’t even live here, if this is about the chocolate –”

“Will you stop thinking about your stomach, you tubby?!”

Wil snorted, “Tubby?”

He started to laugh, the way Obake said it in that frantic pitch was too much for him to handle. Obake kept glaring at him until the laughter stopped.

“I mean it, Wil! Stop the seduction tactics at once or you won’t be welcomed here again,” Wil blinked. Obake never called him by his name ever. Then he processed the second part of the message.

“Seduction…?”

“Kei needs me now more than ever and just because I am a man does not mean I cannot be harassed by some minstrel wannabe.”

“You think I want to have another boyfriend?! I have three, for God’s sake! Listen to me, you strangely attractive glowstick! I’M NOT INTO YOU!”

“You’re gripping my shirt in your fists and are now two inches away from kissing me...”

Wil shoved him away hard and shuddered at the thought of kissing Obake. He was attractive when he didn’t open that dumb mouth of his. And when he wasn’t trying to cause a natural – or unnatural – disaster, but that’s another story.

“Don’t worry, next guy I rope into our group is not going to be you!”

“So you were trying to get someone else charmed!”

“NO I WASN’T!”

“Not the main point,” Obake pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed, defeated, “Kei, knock some sense into him, if you could be so kind!”

“Awwwww,” Kei pouted as she walked in, “But I wanted to see you two kiss!”

“KEI!” Wil and Obake shrieked in unison while she cackled.

“How long were you listening?!” Wil gaped at her.

Kei whistled innocently, but it fooled no one.

“Tell him why I’m telling him to shove off in the future before I regret it!” Obake looked exasperatedly at her.

Wil was sure he was already regretting where this was going.

Kei smirked and held out a box. Wil took the box and opened it, dreading the surprise inside. There was a t-shirt that said BEST UNCLE on the front, with a bull underneath it.

Wil stared incomprehensively at the pair, looking between the beaming Kei and Obake – who had started smirking at the look on his face – again and again until it hit him. He felt a great rush of warmth envelop him and then –

“YOU’RE PREGNANT?!” He screamed. Wil tore at his hair, ripping out clumps, and ran out of the room and up the stairs, screaming and wailing in horror. If he wasn’t already dreading the day Obake Jr. came into the world, he would have smacked Obake for breaking into a giggling fit as he bolted.

My OCs Morgan, Seth, and Booker on a double date with Obake and Kei!

It contains a few future-y things for Morgan and Seth, some things that aren't quite canon-compliant with the universe I've set up in Angel of Vengeance, but still fun!

People really shipped Abigail and Krei? Isn't Abigail, like, much younger than him?

Although I guess you can't really tell from this picture, and I don't think an age was never given in the movie.

Though if my tin-foil theory about her comic counterpart is true, we'll go with 28 and leave it at that.

Tadashi/anyone seems to still be a popular pairing even to this day because there's so much that we still don't know about him (and to be honest won't know about him). Heck, I'm sure there were Tadashi/Abigail people out there as well.

There's also Abigail/Go Go stuff, for some reason.

...

By the way, don't look that up on AO3. This is your only warning.

But yeah, it's very interesting that people who don't interact at all get their fair share of shipping attention (like the ones you said about Cass and Callaghan, who AFAIK don't meet at all in the movie). I guess that's the fun of having characters that don't get the same spotlight as the main ones. It'd be like people shipping Momakase and Sirque.

And yes, I know who you are, Momakase/Sirque shipper. I see you.

I'm...not sure what you mean by crossover ships. I'm guessing it's Hiro and someone from a different movie entirely, and if that's it, that's totally true. The BH6 fanbase is still active out there in general, and the shipping is still prevalent as well.

And nowadays you have a plethora of characters to choose from, from Sirque to Obake to Momakase to Megan to anyone in between.

A gift for the lovely @barely-nok​!

Obake and Dj Parasite are on a date! And they decided to go dancing together!

A gift for @barely-nok, you wanted to see them happy? It’s certainly possible when you have a man who truly believes “Nothing is Impossible.”

When it inextricably begins to snow in San Fransokyo, Obake takes Kei for a romantic stroll to enjoy the rare occasion. Being the refined gentleman he is, he gives her his coat and wraps his childhood scarf around the both of them. Topping it off with hot cocoa with marshmallows to melt her heart.
