#sputtons

so I’m a dumbass and didn’t realize this said modern until after I wrote it but I hope you like it anyway!

Buttons is pretty optimistic and Spot is more of a glass-half-empty kinda guy so Buttons always tries to get Spot to be more positive.

“It’s pouring outside and my papes are wet and everything is horrible.”

“But I love you”

“….well damn”

Spot brings food to Buttons because Buttons lives with his dad and his siblings and he’s the middle kid so he doesn’t get a lot of food

Buttons tries to sew sleeves on one of Spot’s shirts

He visits Brooklyn the next day to find them ripped off on the floor

He just rolls his eyes because he should have known it was coming

Buttons says a lot of snarky stuff to Spot

Like, more than Race does

His friends are absolutely amazed he hasn’t gotten punched in the face for it yet

Tbh, the first time he said some shit to Spot they weren’t even dating so he was surprised Spot let it go too

But Spot was pining and Buttons was playing Hard To Get so it was cool

They both love dogs way too much

In modern au they have at least three

In canon era they’ll stop in the middle of the street to stare at a stray dog without even realizing it

Buttons once brought a dog home with him and Jack sent him to Brooklyn for the night

He was so not dealing with that 

Ship: Sputtons

Warnings: A small bit of mutilation, Spot has a slightly messed up hand. It's the bottom half of the second paragraph

Notes: You better be asleep Bee.

Spot was not looking forward to this. 

Were turtles were not exactly common. And it's not like the chunk of his hand that was missing was hard to notice. It was actually really obvious. And it was where he got bit by a fucking snapping turtle.

And now he was cursed to turn into a small snapping turtle every full moon. His human age meant he was only an young snapping turtle, so he couldn't even eat the fingers of people who poked him. He'd eat the sticks, but for now he was suck.

Usually it was fine. It wasn't like he was a werewolf, they were often considered far more dangerous than a snapping turtle. So Spot was free to roam on full moons.

But now he had Buttons. A boy he did not want to hurt, and someone he liked very much. It was hard to judge how someone would react to learning their boyfriend was a wereturtle.

Honestly Spot didn't know what he was expecting, so he procrastinated telling Buttons until the last second. It was an hour before the full moon when Spot sat Buttons down. The other looked just as anxious, and he was fussing with his hair, a nervous tic of his.

Spot sat across from him, building up his courage, when Buttons blurted something out. "I turn into a lizard every full moon! No joke, I promise. I just… Turn into a crested gecko. Every full moon." He was mumbling by the end.

Spot stared for a long time. Trying to wrap his head around this. His boyfriend was a weregeko. He'd not even really heard of that before… Then he started laughing.

Buttons' face got red. "It's not a joke!" He said feverishly.

Spot kept laughing. "I- know! It's- just- I'm a- wereturtle!" He gasped out between laughter.

Buttons sat, similarly dumbfounded as Spot had been, before he to burst into fits of giggles. Soon they were laughing together. They'd both been so nervous to tell the other and they waited the exact same amount of time!

They got ready for moonrise together. Buttons making sure there was somewhere warm and Spot setting up a large tub of water. They pushed it close to the hot place so Spot could be warm to. 

When they both changed, Buttons scrambled onto Spot's shell and happily chilled out on him, and Spot was happy with the arrangement. He swam around and Buttons had a great time riding on his shell.

Then they both woke up in a tub of cold water in the morning. But they saw the humor of the situation. And things were good.

Sleepy boy buttons
