oh queue died oops
been thinking about kai and jay in hunted because i’m rewatching (user plasmara thinking about plasma like who’s surprised) and just realised that kai didn’t even flinch when jay called him “baby”?? not a single reaction??? which leads me to believe that this is not a one-time occurrence. no. this has happened many times before.
ergo: kai is simply used to it by now. and now i’m fully convinced they exclusively refer to each other with pet names. not even necessarily in a romantic way. they’re just Like That.
and everyone on the team is used to it by now too. no one blinks when jay’s like “you good, sweetheart?” after a fight or when kai goes “relax, babe, i’ve got this” before doing something deeply unwise. it’s just background noise now.
and U KNOW WHAT. not that anyone asked for it but fuck it yes okay breakdown of pet name usage, because i have thought about it Extensively now:
jay:
- sweetheart but this is actually used Genuinely
- baby (duh)
- cupcake — only when he’s mad. always said with a fuck-ton of attitude
- darling
- handsome AND HEAR ME OUT ON THIS ONE. only when he wants something. but kai secretly loves it and gives in to whatever he’s asking for
- snookums (but only once because kai gagged so hard he almost threw up. now he threatens him with it)
kai:
- babe — this is his default. he uses it more than his actual name
- honey THIS IS ALSO GENUINE
- dumbass (affectionate). but he also has dumbass (angry) and sometimes jay can’t tell the difference
- sparky
- hot stuff — actually he calls HIMSELF this in front of jay in the hopes that jay will say it to him one day. started as a bit but now he’s committed
- sunshine
