THE FACTS ARE THESE
Okay I’m actually really proud of this fic please read, reblog, and review!
Angus loved Taako, every weird bit of him.
He was definitely weird, the elf was just a walking collection of eccentrics. Of course, as a detective, Angus was able to find a reason for each and every one of them.
“That’s alright, sir, I’m full,” Angus said, putting his hands up as Taako approached his plate with the pot. Taako scoffed and loaded Angus’s plate up with more seconds than the small boy could ever eat.
“You’re too small just eat it, squirt,” he said as he walked back into the kitchen.
He was always like that when it came to feeding Angus, slipping the kid extra cookies and making sure he had a big lunch to take to school with him.
THE CLUES:
-Taako likes to make sure everyone in his life, especially me, has enough to eat
-Taako keeps a hoard of snacks under his bed
-Taako eats till his plate is clean
-Miss Lup says her and Taako never got enough to eat as kids
THE SOLUTION:
-Taako starved as a kid and has been paranoid about food and others starving ever since
Taako didn’t just slip Angus cookies. He was also loose about the liquor cabinet.
“You want soda or beer, sweetie?”
“I’m only ten, sir?”
“Better to learn young so you can get the taste for it,” Taako said uncapping the bottle.
During New Year’s Taako had let Angus have a sip of his champagne, and had earned a through scolding from the director for it.
THE CLUES:
-Taako gives me alcohol even though I’m only
1011-Taako swears around me a lot
-Taako raised himself
THE SOLUTION:
-Taako’s never followed a rule in his life, and doesn’t see why I should have to
Once Angus had gotten up for a glass of water in the middle of the night and found Taako crying in the living room. Once Taako realized Angus was there he’d cast a glamour on himself to erase any signs of crying and greeted the kid with a snappy: “shouldn’t you be in bed?”
“Are you alright sir?”
“None of your business, twerp, go back to bed, jeez Louise.”
THE CLUES:
-Taako cries a lot at night
-He always cries in the living room, bathroom, or kitchen
THE SOLUTION:
-Taako doesn’t want me or Kravitz to see him crying
Living with Taako and Kravitz had taught Angus a lot about love and being in a relationship. For example, one night they were walking home from the best pizza place in town, Taako had been very drunk at the moment, and had been the one to insist on going out to pizza in the first place. All three walked down the street munching on their slices when Taako paused and looked Kravitz dead in the eyes.
“Babe. Baaabe. You wanna know how much I love you?”
“Okay?”
“You see this pizza? This is the best pizza in the goddamn world.” Taako shook the slice in Kravitz’s face. “But for you, for you Kravitz, I would throw this bitch right on the ground. I would do that for you!”
Taako had then thrown the pizza onto the ground.
“Do you want me to buy you another slice?” Kravitz had said once he finished laughing and kissing Taako.
“….yes, please. I still love you more than pizza! I just-“
“Love pizza very much, I know, dear.”
As they waited for Kravitz to come back with his new slice, Taako picked up the street slice and started feeding it to some nearby racoons (ANGUS WE CAN’T LET FOOD GO TO WASTE).
“I’m glad you took us out for pizza, sir!” Angus said. Kravitz had asked him to keep an eye on the drunk elf while he was gone, and he was taking his job very seriously and making sure Taako didn’t put his hands too close to the racoon’s teeth.
“S’lonely,” Taako sniffed. “Needed someone to get pizza with.”
“What was that sir?”
“I was lonely, Ango. I get lonely a lot. A looooot.”
Taako slumped over, sitting with his back to a building. Angus sat down next to him and Taako lay his head on the boy’s shoulder.
“I’m not a good…” he hiccupped. “M’not a good person, Ango McDango. “Dunno why Kravitz hangs out with me….or you…”
“One fresh slice of pizza, please try not to drop it to prove your love,” Kravitz said, returning that very moment.
“Gimme!” Taako made grabby hands and snatched the pizza away from Kravitz, chowing down with all sadness forgotten.
“I love you, silly man,” Kravitz laughed, pressing a kiss into Taako’s hair.
“I love ya too, I love you more than pizza, ‘n the moon, n’ magic n’….” the list continued.
THE CLUES:
-Taako is lonely and thinks he’s bad
-Taako gets drunk a lot
-Taako doesn’t like to be alone while he’s drunk
THE SOLUTION:
Angus crept into Taako and Kravitz’s room, breakfast tray clutched carefully in his hands. He’d followed one of Taako’s recipes for cinnamon walnut pancakes and had tried to throw together a decent mimosa (which he tried just one sip from to make sure he got it right! Cause he’s still a little boy!).
He set the tray on the bed. “Good morning sirs!”
“Mmm…good morning, Angus,” Kravitz yawned. “What’s all this?”
Taako rubbed his eyes and looked down at the tray. “Hot shit Angus you got ‘em just right, nice job little dude.” He ruffled the boy’s hair.
“Happy father’s day!” Angus said, blushing slightly.
Kravitz and Taako exchanged a surprised look for what seemed like an eternity. Then suddenly Taako burst into tears and pulled Angus into a hug, almost knocking over the tray (Kravitz saved it with his quick reflexes before joining in on the hug)
