This has no sound because it needs no sound.
This only sound is the only sound it needs. ty: this cesc and iker video
Rave: I KNOW
I DIDN'T KNOW IT COULD BE EVEN BETTER THAN THE GIF
ty: the .gif doesn't have iker's eyes following him as he walks away, then the quick dart to the camera, then iker FOLLOWS HIM?
it is seriously like iker is saying to the camera, with his eyes, "...yeah, so do you mind if i go- i'm just gonna go. hehe"
Rave: god i can't stop watching it
ty:
cesc is this your actingis that what you do when you are told to act like you are surprised to see someone
Rave: you know what really makes it, is the way iker's smile fades
it's like, so fond and eye-crinkly
"but now......to business."
Rave: and by business
i mean your butt.
your butt is the business.
ty: i can't get over cesc being "surprised"
the fact that this is the take they used really says something for the quality of the other ones
Rave: cesc
that is incredible
In the write-up, I claimed that Iker and Cesc's contact usually revolves around roughhousing of some kind. I decided to break up this section into subsections of bullying so that all angles of the bullying could be properly examined.
Type A: Iker bullying Cesc. Being around Cesc seems to spur a normally proud and dignified Iker into weird teasing schoolboy mode.
Note the way Iker circles his body with this lazy aggression. "It looks like he's going to try to get up. Will I let him do that? ...No. No, I think I won't." The way Cesc pathetically clings to the ball, switching it to the other arm as he tries to crawl away, suggests to me that Iker might have asked for it, and Cesc refused to give it to him.
Here is Iker antagonizing Cesc when Cesc is in a group for a picture and cannot escape. Cesc gives him a puppy nip on the thumb, then doesn't let go.
Nope, he doesn’t trust Iker. Not this time.
Type B: Iker bullying someone else while Cesc watches. Pique is one of Iker's favorite targets and Cesc seems to really watching Iker push him around, presumably because it's usually Cesc being yanked around by Pique.
The cutest delighted schadenfreudic retreat out of danger in the history of man. Note his hands, T-rexin.
I love how Iker looks at Cesc like, yeaaah. We got him.
Type C: Cesc generally bothering Iker. All the previous evidence of Iker being grumpy with most people in the world still holds true, but as you can see, he generally tolerates Cesc's tomfoolery with an unprecedented patience. IT'S HOT, YOU GUYS.
Cesc seems to lose steam halfway through and ends with a gentle pat. In the video which I cannot currently locate, Iker has a tiny smile afterwards.

I love how Cesc has the impulse to pet his hair, then he questions himself, then he realizes he's gone too far already and he needs to complete the action so he turns it into this weird stilted grooming pat. He is also taller than Iker, for once. He must be standing on some kind of stool.
This is a miscellaneous selection of them being woobies:
Iker is looking right at his mouth. Straight up.
Cesc is a rabbit.
Look at his little torso. It's such a good torso.
The arms around neck hug. Iker staggers briefly with his weight. I am all the mascots.
I just found this one yesterday. It makes a fine addition to my collection.

Some smooth jams for the ride home.
It feels especially prudent to post this spam today because yesterday and this morning, all six people who ship Iker/Cesc were disrupted during their daily tasks, looking to the sky and sensing a disturbance as somewhere in Switzerland:
ty: this is like a victorian man who's been jerking off over an ankle for ten years suddenly getting a tit whipped out in front of him
that is what i feel like
Rave: HAHHAHAHAH
hahaahahhahaha omg
ty: I NEVER KNEW IT COULD BE LIKE THIS
Rave: also iker's stoic determination not to smile or look like he's enjoying himself ever at all
ty: permasmile on my face rn
if a .gif turns up, it will all be over
omg we're like other pairings now :']
physical signs of affection
Rave: TWO SEMINAL MOMENTS IN IKER/CESC HISTORY
1. IKER HITS CESC IN THE NUTS
2. THEY HOLD HANDS
Rave: remember how the victorian gentleman got flashed yesterday
i feel like the lady just seized our head and made us motorboat her
Post all good Iker and/or Cesc related things in here and go forth and write a lot of fic.
