Gabriel is trotting back and forth between the kitchen and the kraken pond, feeding Spots delicious ham.

Catch him at either end.

(The trotting is partly because he hopes to encounter Steve on the way. Shhhh.)

....:D!

D'aww.

Gabe cuddles back, possibly gasping for breath every so often. Spots has grown a bit.

[apocalypsebaby]

It's the ham. Surprisingly healthy!

Spots loves his daddy very very much. Enough, even, to make sure he gets some space to breathe.

See, Spots is learning!

"Daaaaaddy."

[clockwork_son]

"How've you been, then, Spots?"

He snugs an arm around the bacukraken and carefully feeds him some ham.

"Doing all right? Life treating you well?"

Daddy has been doing all right. In bed. With otherDaddy.

[eureka_bell]

Speak of the devil! Sadly, otherDaddy's gait is as yet unaffected. Perhaps they can work on that sometime.

Gabriel, Steve is grinning at you and your bacusnuggles.

(Well, they are very cute!)

"Need a hand, eh?"

[clockwork_son]

"Yeah, a bit. Hi, Steve."

YOUR EH-ING IS CUTE, OTHERDADDY. NEVER CHANGE.

Very very surreptitiously, Gabriel's going to try holding Steve's hand.

:D!

[eureka_bell]

"Nice to see you, Gabe."

'Helping', of course, involves taking over ham duties and leaving Gabriel to the uncertain mercies of Spots' tentacles. But Steve is perfectly willing to attempt this one-handed!

O hay, when he leans down here their faces are so much closer together!

[clockwork_son]

what if someone's looking must resist must resist

Oh hell.

Eyedart.

Eyedart.

NOBODY'S LOOKING, STEVE GETS KISS ONNA CHEEK QUICK LIKE TALL REDDISH NINJA.

[eureka_bell]

Beam! Be amazing coincidence, that is precisely the reaction Steve was going for!

Gabe, you reap what you sow. (Translation: kiss! D'aww. His cheek is all blushy-warm.)

[clockwork_son]

It is!

Blushy-warm and grinny-crinkled.

And, okay, Steve gets a hug now.

Totally because Spots makes Gabe very tactile.

Uh-huh.

THAT'S THE EXCUSE HE'LL USE.

[eureka_bell]

Gabe, similarly, gets hugged. This is actually a very comfortable position, with one hand around the man's waist and the other providing shaped cooked pig-product to a slightly less baby-sized kraken.

"He's shooting up."

Yay, small talk.

[clockwork_son]

Aww.

"Yes, he is. I don't even think he'd fit in a laundry sink anymore."

Ah, there's a reference guaranteed to increase the average smile-to-Steve ratio. Gabe will find the cuddle getting momentarily cuddlier.

"Shouldn't have to expand the pond too soon, though."

Well, they live in hope.

[clockwork_son]

"I hope not. Your sister would grumble."

Gabriel holds Valerie in high esteem, but GOOD LORD THAT WOMAN CAN CUSS LIKE NOTHIN' ELSE.

[eureka_bell]

Gigglesnort.

"A fate worse than death, I have to agree."

[clockwork_son]

"Your sister's grumbling could peel paint," Gabe accuses good-naturedly.
