[oh.
the way that rue's heart just melts. the boyfriend talk they'd been expecting. but not this.]
Nothing would make me happier, Hunter. I know it is mere formality at this point, you are already my son, but there is something special about doing it by the laws of this land.
First, we must find items of great comfort that we can use to represent one another. For Casey, I have a pangolin plush I thought quite similar in color and size to his familiar form. And then with my Donatello, I have a soft purple cardigan to wear. Then with Leo - [it's always on their person, but hidden well beneath their feathers, so Rue brushes them out of the way to show off the bracelet encircling their wrist] We have something matching.
It would be preferable to have something you can keep on your person, so that I can find you if anything happens. The bond will give us the ability to locate one another always.

Oh. That's ...
[ He reaches out toward the bracelet for a moment, hesitant. ]
Is ... there something you want to wear that you don't have yet?

[Rue offers up their wrist without hesitation, happy to let Hunter explore. There's nothing too special about it outwardly, besides Leo's name being etched into the leather.]
Hm, a nice pendant perhaps? Or a scarf? Or, I can make mine a giant, feathery blanket for us to cuddle under, similar to the cloak I made for you. With these items, anytime that we touch one, both of us will feel a wave of comfort take over us. It'll be as if I'm sending you a big hug all of the way from my cottage to your apartment.

I ... do like the idea of a blanket. Or a scarf. Maybe a really big feathery scarf.
[ He wants something he could choose to wear, himself. ]

Would you like to find a day where we make them ourselves together?
Like, here? In the shop? On a sewing machine?
We could! Would you like to work in the shop with me? I'll make you a spot right next to my station.
-- of course I would! I - that's a lot of pressure but -
[ He wants SO BADLY to be in here makin stuff next to mom. ]

Then we simply must! That way, the very moment we finish, we can complete the bond formally.

Is that all it takes? Do we have to go somewhere official for it?
We do not! We can perform it right there at the shop, with our items in hand.
That ... would be really nice then. Maybe with a cake afterwards.
That sounds... really nice right now. [He agrees with a softer smile. He feels safe, comfortable in Rue's hold.]
Leo will be really happy to see both of us here. It'll be a good surprise too since it's his night to cook. [Peter is more than happy to take it over with Rue, just for something to do.]

Ah, so he shall be extra happy to see me simply because he'll be off kitchen duty. I see how it is.
[But clearly Rue doesn't mind in the slightest, they are happy to stick around as long as Peter needs them, and maybe just a touch longer than that just to be certain.]

[It's a lot to take in, especially when feelings are already so through the roof, but Casey's already doing great and Rue has utter faith they'll be just fine.]
You're going to be an amazing boyfriend, Casey. You're already the perfect son, so it just feels like a natural progression.

What kind of cake would you like? I'll have something made special just for the two of us.
[Mom... so embarrassing... he wants to hide his face again, but that would be to obvious, so he settles for a quiet voice,]
That feels like such a high bar... I hope you're right. It's what he deserves.
[Hunter's had a hard life. Casey wants to be a part of the happiness he gets to enjoy in this life going forward.]

You know it's what you deserve too.
[And it hardly need to be said but...]
And if he ever hurts you-

[Casey waits to see if they continue. And when they don't-]
...What?
[Entirely unfamiliar with the concept of a shovel talk.]

[CASEY you need to watch more tv with mom]
If he hurts you, I'll ground him for a decade.
If he hurts you, I'll ground him for a decade.
[Show him a few more dramatic protective romances and he'll get it.]
Oh. Isn't that kind of severe? What if it's just like a bruise during training? and this one time he poked me in the neck with his horn during a cuddle...
[Right over his head.]

[alright, that does just leave rue laughing because holy fuck, their boy really is oblivious.]
I meant if he breaks your heart. A decade seems rightly deserved in that case.

[There's a quiet ohhhh above them as that sinks in. Heartbreak. A very mysterious new ailment has entered the field.]
That doesn't sound like the kind of thing he'd do on purpose.
