didn't partake in the more extreme diet culture, Caleb still made sure his snacks for her were healthy and balanced. Whether it was something sweet (apples shaped like little butterflies drizzled in honey) or savory (artisan hummus with various vegetables), she'd have whatever she wanted.

Just because she should, doesn't mean she had to. Caleb was always more than happy to take care of anything and everything for her. Laundry, shopping, cleaning, he'd do it all. And did, up until recently anyway.

wasn't *entirely* sure why Astella suddenly pulled the fake girlfriend card this second, he was not about to complain. Nor was he going to rebuke them. If anything, they deserved even more treats and rewards.
"Last chance," he pointed to the candy by the register. "Unless you wanna stop elsewhere."

Were he not so well-trained, Caleb would've been pacing in excited circles until she arrived. Alas, all he could do was check and recheck his feeds, and make sure everything in his home was perfectly placed.

In the back of his mind, he kept her there on his lap. She fit so well against him-- but those were thoughts he promptly buried deep, deep away. Deep into the darkness he threw every impure thought.

eating well? Was she sleeping okay? Did she remember to do her laundry? What if she got hurt? What if she died? What if she never came back?
And worst of all: what if this time he forgot about her?
He tightened his one-armed hold, hiding his twisted expressions in her hair.

In a rare, terrifying moment of vulnerability, Caleb opened his mouth.

🧃 Despite his charisma and reputation for being popular with girls, Caleb has no experience. At all. Sure, he's read books and blog posts, researched everything he can think of, and done hours of self-experimentation but none of that translates to ACTUAL experience. He's never even kissed anyone.

Caleb's expression softened, one hand going up to brush her cheek with the back of his knuckles.
"You're fine as you are. If they start pressuring you to do things like that, you tell me, okay?" Though he couldn't change the industry, he could at least keep her safe from the worst of it.

"What do you mean by 'a bit weird'?" He said, resting his hands on her hips. Just to steady her! Only to steady her! Not for any other purpose and he wouldn't be thinking of this moment later in the privacy of his room while burying his nose in one of her old shirts! Absolutely not!

His arms wrapped around her in a comfortably tight hug, though Caleb fought not to bury his nose in her hair. She was still his pipsqueak; and that would be a bit too far.
"Oh? You've got people you wanna introduce me to?" He raised a playful eyebrow. "Made some new friends while I was gone?"
