truthfully speaking

Doc staggers back, rubbing his forehead “What the!?-"

Wels, totally innocent, definitely not smirking, looks back at Doc “Oh, yeah! Forgot to mention, low doorway"

Doc squints at him “You forgot, huh?”

“Yeah, totally..” Wels says, stepping through another doorway, just a little too low for Doc.

Doc ducks this time, muttering "you're so lucky I love you"

Wels isn't a short guy. This apparently is something he needs to remind people of; just because he decided to date a behemoth does not mean he's short. Doc is just very, very tall. Adjust the height of roofs and we need a bigger bed tall. That doesn't mean Wels is short!

But none of them ever got triggered. It was his way of holding onto something, even if Wels didn’t know it. When Wels eventually did wake up in the new season, everything seemed fine, and Doc kept quiet about the weird, desperate feelings he’d been holding onto. No need to drag Wels into that. Not now.

It's... Embarrassing when Wels finally brings it up. He should have expected it, because Wels would know he added all those things but Doc thought he'd gotten away with this awkward ignorance!

And now Wels is asking with those earnest blue eyes, and Doc breaks in a moment. He's not a super emotional guy, so it feels like a tidal wave coming out of him with just how much he missed Wels. He was grieving Wels' absence without realising.

they throw random blocks together, laugh about how it’ll be a disaster, and just kinda… forget to stop. The next thing they know, it’s actually looking pretty good, like.. not just good, it’s pretty nice

they pretend it’s no big deal, casually claiming, “oh? it’s just a little side project!” but lowkey it starts feeling more like their main bases than their original ones

It's the place they always end up coming to at the end of the day. This weird, messy in-between that they're starting to become more fond of than their actual bases.

It felt like fate to find out Doc opened a store specifically for armour trims! Cuts out the need to do all the work himself.

But it does risk running into Doc... Who will ask him about the colour choice... And Wels is a terrible liar when it comes to him.

Wels will show up at Doc’s door, sword in hand, ready for a repair, and Doc’s always more than happy to help, but only after a round of good-natured banter

“How many times has this been now, Wels?” Doc teased, running a hand over the broken blade. "One day, I’ll just build you a sword that’s invincible... or maybe just a bit less dramatic.”

Wels just smirks, “I’d rather it be dramatic than dull, Doc”

Doc will usually respond something like, "Rather in one piece than dramatic." Which Wels half agrees with. He likes showing off, what can he say?
