Head canons Phastos and Ben cause no one else is writing shit:
They met in like the middle of nowhere. Phastos was done with humans after all, and Ben came across him on holiday or something. And then again. And again. And maybe humans weren’t so bad after all.
Phastos got himself a place closer to Ben to meet up a few more times. They met almost every week, sometimes even more. Go out for coffee, go to library, walk in the park etc. corny shit.
They moved in together in Ben’s place after like 5 months of dating, cause Phastos new home was empty af and moving all of Ben’s stuff would cost too much.
At the time of the movie, they’ve been together for around 15 years.
When Ben brought up the idea of a child, Phastos was hesitant because he had spent so many years hating mankind and didn’t know if he wanted the responsibility of raising one.
A few years later Phastos announced that he was ready. They decided to go for surrogacy with Ben as the father, cause Phastos wanted to see more of his beauty and kindness in the world (he’d probably say it more poetically, but I’m not build like that so this will have to do for now sorry)
They were so excited as they found the right woman for surrogacy and the nine months pregnancy.
They didn’t want to know the sex of the baby; they’d raise them the same anyway. Together they painted the nursery and went to different stores to buy the needed furniture. They got some cute baby clothes, not too many because baby’s grow fast and they’d probably not need these anymore in a few weeks anyway.
The day that Jack got born was and will be one of the best days in either of their lives. “And I’ve lived for over 5000 years, so that says a lot.”. They got the call at around 11 pm and sat waiting for almost 24 hours in shitty hospital chairs. But god were his tiny feet and his tiny hand cute. And his tiny nose, and face...
Please someone tell me what job Ben and/or Phastos have? I need to know, and my mind is blank.
After Jack was born, they both started working 70%, so that they would both have enough time with Jack and they’d still make enough money to get by (considering their house I’d say they both have a decent job).
The amount of love in the house is immeasurable and just radiates from person to person.
Please add what you can! I’d love to see what you all have in mind!
