Okay, so-

Shapa and I came up with how we view the Gremlin Kids (Pranks, Missy, and Imag) and we decided Pranks needed a boyfriend so we came up with Bray. Bray is the most adorable thing ever I love him-

I had this idea for them and it was too soft to not write and I'm gonna tag Shapa232 because this is her character too.

Bray is a very soft pastel boy (he's also kinda a Logicality child- but Sha and I haven't completely said that's for sure yet- while Pranks, Missy, and Imag are prinxiety children) and he also has ADHD. His big hyperfixations are animals and animated things (big ones include Winnie the Pooh and Steven Universe) and he is just about the most adorable thing ever

Oh! And Pranks is like 17 or 18 and Bray is a year younger (so 16 or 17)

Anyways, I'll get to actually writing now-

Human AU!

~~~~~~~~~~~

Pranks smiled softly as he looked down to Bray, who was laying on his chest, asleep. Pranks very slowly rocked the hammock, one of his legs on the ground to do so.

They had only been together for about a month, but this sort of thing was normal for the pair. Bray was very touch oriented. He needed physical reassurances far more than he needed verbal reassurances. Sometimes, Pranks and Bray wouldn't speak, only cuddling and non-verbally communicating. Bray often came up to Pranks for cuddles, even far before they dated or even had feelings for each other.

There were many things Pranks absolutely loved about Bray. He loved how Bray often would rant about the things he loved, no matter the circumstance. When he gets excited, Pranks could listen to him for hours. And the small stims he gives are just about the best thing for Pranks. He loved when Bray would come up to him for no reason and cuddle. He loved when Bray would randomly run up to him, say "love you!", kiss his cheek, and run away again. Most of the times it was in the hallway between classes. He loved the way Bray video calls him every night and talks until he falls asleep.

Oh, and Pranks is so in love with the way Bray looks when he's sleeping. And anytime, really. His gorgeous melanin rich skin that seems like it glows in direct sunlight and looked like the perfect coffee that had just the right amount of creamer to stop tasting bitter and start tasting elegantly sweet. And his tight curly hair that was nearly an Afro when he brushed it all out. Pranks could mess with his hair all day long, no matter how messy or styled it was. Sometimes Bray would pull his hair back into what he called his Pom-Pom hair. Pranks loved the way Bray wasn't perfectly skinny. He loved the small chub Bray had with all of his heart. He loved that Bray was small and could easily fit in his arms. He loved the way Bray could light up the whole room with the smallest of smiles.

Pranks adored the way Bray was best friends with his sibling, Missy, though he hardly admitted it. He loved the way Bray sometimes played pranks on him with Missy. He loved the way Bray indulged Imag's craziest fantasies and dreams without a second thought. He loved the way he would talk with Roman (Pranks' pa) for hours about disney, neither stopping until Virgil told them something was ready to eat or Bray had to go home. He loved that Bray is so comfortable around Virgil that he would sit with him when he was nonverbal and not feel like he was forced to talk. He loved Bray's connection with his family.

He loved how Bray looked so peaceful when he was asleep and he looked so excited when he was awake. It absolutely broke Pranks' heart to see Bray sad and he swore any time anyone hurt Bray they would never live to see how their actions would play out.

Bray gave a small hum in his sleep, cuddling closer to Pranks with a smile. Pranks couldn't stop the grin that appeared on his face at that. He very gently played with Bray's curly deep brown hair, the lighter highlights only showing more in the direct sunlight. Bray leaned into his hand with a happy hum, smiling a bit more.

God, he was so gorgeous. Especially with Pranks' leather jacket on top of him like a blanket, covering his light yellow and pink sweater he was wearing. Bray was what most would call a pastel boy while Pranks was pretty bad boy style- cliche, I know, but they loved each other and that's what mattered.

And how could Pranks possibly forget all of the teasing he got from his siblings about not only liking his sibling's best friend, but also a pastel boy.

But no matter what anyone could possibly say about them, it was worth it.

Every time they had to help each other through something. Every time they went to the other for comfort. Every time they went to get candy at midnight because they couldn't sleep. Every time they would go to the park to watch the fishes and swans and geese and ducks as they swam in the lake. Every time they had a small disagreement. Every time they thought for sure the other would break up with them...

It always led to some of the happiest memories either of them had ever and will ever have.

Pranks couldn't help but reminisce over all of those lovely memories he had with Bray. There was no way he would ever forget any of these.

And Pranks couldn't feel more complete then right here in this hammock.
