kid! nigel and adam discuss sex from what they’ve heard about it

imaginehanniballecter:

‘My uncle said something really fucking weird to me last night.’ 
‘Niiiiigel, you can’t say bad words! Miss Gillespie-’
‘I’m ten and a half, Adam! I’m over half and a half of a whole adult! I can say things I want. Besides, it’s the playground. This is where we have fun.’  
‘Can’t you have fun without doing things you shouldn’t?’
‘What are you, my mom?’
‘…’ 
‘No but Adam, this thing my uncle said to me, it’s…I don’t know.’  
‘What was it about?’ 
‘Well…what do you know about sex?’ 
‘Everything.’ 
‘What…really?’ 
‘Yes. I read about it. It’s how animals produce offspring.’  
‘Oh.’  
‘Why? Is that what your uncle told you about?’ 
‘Yeah, but he said more about people doing sex than animals.’
‘People are animals.’
‘Yeah but its different for people! My uncle said!’
‘I mean I guess.’
‘My uncle said that if I’m anything like my dad I’ll start chasing skirts in no time.’ ‘Chasing skirts?’
‘Yeah I think that means sex.’  
‘That doesn’t sound like fun.’
‘I know! And then he asked me if I had my eye on anyone pretty and I said yeah.’
‘…’ 
‘Why’re you making that face? It’s you!’  
‘Oh. Ok.’
‘And he said that I shouldn’t pull your hair or put gum on it or do anything mean to you.’ 
‘I don’t think pulling hair or gum has anything to do with producing offspring.’   
‘Adam! Listen! And then he explained that I might want to do things to you.’  
‘If you want to produce offspring with me—’ 
‘What the fuck? Who said anything about producing offspring?’  
‘Well, I just want to tell you that we can’t produce offspring.’ 
‘WHAT!? WHY!? WHY CAN’T WE!?’ 
‘Uh, we’re both male. Biologincally. Boys can’t-‘ 
‘But then why was my uncle talking about not getting you pregnant?’  
‘Nigel, are you sure?’ 
‘He was very serious about me not doing that. His face was really serious.’
‘I don’t think your uncle knows a lot about sexual reproduction, Nigel.’   
‘Are you sure you can’t get all babied?’ 
‘Yes.’ 
‘And I can’t either?’ 
‘Nigel, we’re boys!’  
‘My uncle is weird.’    
‘Yeah. Even I think so.’     
‘He also said that I shouldn’t touch you at all unless it’s ok with you. He said I could be like his half-brother and go to jail if I don’t…sooo…can I hold your hand?’ 
‘You always hold my hand.’ 
‘Yeah, but is it ok with you? I don’t want to go to jail.’ 
‘Yes, Nigel. And you’re not allowed to go to jail anyway. Only bad people go to jail.’
‘And I’m a good people?’
‘Person, Nigel.’  
‘Whatever.’ 

Nigel: Roses are red, Violets are blue, your my little space man and I fucking love you.
Adam: Um Nigel..
Nigel: Yes darling?
Adam: that poem is wrong, Violets are purple not blue…
Nigel: I still love you darling
Adam: I love you too Nigel

Spacedogs and Macaroni

The story is loosely based off this art and the story of Laika  

The bright orange streak of light hits Nigel’s face waking
him up, the older man slowly turning to the other side of the bed to say good
morning to his Adam or what he likes to call him “little spaceman”


But he noticed something quite peculiar. Adam was nowhere to
be seen nor was his dachshund shirt that he had carelessly thrown to the side
the night before. Nigel got up from the bed and headed down stairs, He walked
into the kitchen and saw the younger one in nothing but his dog shirt and
boxers cooking them both breakfast.

“Ah good morning my little spaceman, cooking us some grub to
eat?”

Nigel walks over to Adam to wrap his arms around the younger
man’s hips.

“Good morning Nigel I’m not cooking grub, its macaroni and
cheese”

Although Nigel doesn’t like the fact that Adam considers
mac&cheese breakfast, he knows it’s what the spaceman likes to eat so he doesn’t
fuss over it. But what he does want to know is what he doing wearing his shirt.

“Darling, why are you wearing my shirt? You know it’s my favorite”

“I-I was wearing it as a tribute.”

Nigel looks at Adam confused

“What tribute? For who?”

Adam turns down the heat on the stove and turns to the older
man as Nigel leans over the kitchen table.

“Today is November 3rd, it has been 58 years
since Laika died”

Nigel still confused over what Adam was saying

“Adam, who the fuck is Laika?”


“Laika was a Russian dog, she was the first animal in space
and one of the passengers on sputnik 2. I kind of looked up to her when I was
young and I knew that if a dog could make it to space, then so could I. I was
thinking on cooking with my spacesuit on, but of course it’s hard to cook with
it on so I found the next best thing.”

Nigel thinks what Adam is doing is very is adorable. He
turns his head to the side and notices the calendar pinned on the fridge and
starts to laugh.

Adam doesn’t know why the older man is laughing.

“Nigel, what’s so funny?”

“Oh my Adam, its October not November.”

The little spaceman looks over to the calendar and notices
his mistake and giggles softly.

“Oh I see, its October 3rd not November 3rd….
I like wearing things of yours anyway Nigel. It still has the smell of you on
them…. it’s comforting to have around me.”

Nigel walks up to Adam giving him a hug and a longer-than-usual
kiss

“Well my little spaceman, I’m all here for you I’ll always
be here for you.”

Adam smiles at the comment and the love that Nigel brings
him

“Thank you Nigel, the macaroni is done now we can eat.”

Nigel smiles

“Sure darling we can eat”

Adam grabs the pot of mac&cheese and empties some in
their bowls while Nigel sets up the table.

They eat breakfast while Nigel listens to Adam lecture about
Laika and his space heroes for the rest of their day.
