the beard is the gif below 😗
—
shaving
sometimes the boys get busy and they’ll forget to shave, or sometimes they just don’t have a razor
jake really really wants to grow it out into a full beard
steven likes the clean-shaven look or a little bit of stubble, but is fine with whatever
marc wants a full beard. badly.
when they go on long trips, jake and marc get their wish. they get a nice beard.
one time, they come home after a long trip and you decide that you really like their beard
it’s a little scratchy while it’s growing out, but feels nice when they kiss you
plus, they look really good with it
from then on, they usually let it grow to about that length
whenever marc is fronting, he likes to trim it with the fancy little shears you’d gotten him a little while ago
you got them when you noticed him trimming his beard with steven’s craft scissors and that would not do
so you bought him some and gave them to him, showing him how to fit him fingers into the small holes and rest his pinky over the ring
you helped him get straight cuts by holding the hair between two fingers and overlapping each piece he cut with the next to get it even
hair cutting
you also cut their hair for them most of the time
it was about a monthly occurrence, their latino genes making their hair grow wayyyy faster than most people’s
marc didn’t really trust people other than you and himself with sharp objects next to his head, too many bad experiences in the marines
the first few times with the new shears you missed a few spots, but found them within a day while you were playing with their hair
you went “oh crap” and tugged them back to the bathroom to fix the mistakes
they didn’t care much, as long as marc felt that he looked tidy enough to take himself seriously
marc wanted really short hair, a high and tight like he had as a marine
jake wanted to grow his hair out, long enough to pull back into a little man-bun or pony tail, with an undercut underneath
steven liked their haircut, and he got to make that call a) because it was an in-between from jakes’s and marc’s wishes and b) because he was the one who had a normal 9-5 job with the most human interaction
jake liked to front when you were cutting their hair, the feeling of your fingers and comb soothing him in a way most other things couldn’t (for once, he felt protected)
you eventually got really good at cutting their hair, perfecting the fade from long to short. they were so happy with it every time and it made you super happy
showering
they all love showering with you, obviously
marc takes super short showers, ever the military man (5-10 mins)
jake takes long, burning hot showers, and sometimes even baths (30-45 mins)
steven takes hot showers and often forgets he’s in there (like hour-long showers)
they all have different soaps, which can get a little pricey, but you’re all fairly well off so it’s okay
marc has vanilla bar soap for his body and scentless nivea men’s shampoo and conditioner
he’s the most likely to buy 3-in-1 in a pinch or while on a mission
jake has orange and sandalwood scented shampoo, conditioner, and body wash
he also has a long-ass facial routine every night before bed, and you’ll often stand beside him and do your own: neutrogena salicylic acid facial cleanser, sephora toner, a serum that’s way too expensive, eye cream because he never sleeps, and a neutrogena hydro-boost moisturizer
he won’t let you touch his face for 10 minutes after his routine is done, no exceptions unless you’re crying
steven uses everist vegan shampoo and conditioner that comes in nice little waste-free aluminum tubes (except the cap, which he diligently returns to the company), and uses a nice bar of vanilla body wash from a local market
water. literally just water.
steven is the most likely to stay hydrated with a conscious effort all the time, but jake is just always thirsty
you got each of them a nice 30 oz bottle: navy blue for marc, sunflower yellow for steven, and burgundy for jake
steven’s is absolutely covered in stickers and dents, and he fills it up and drinks it 3 times a day at work
marc’s has very few dents, meticulous as he is. he’s pretty forgetful, but does his best to remember it and when he does, he gets through the bottle
jake’s is barely a cylinder anymore. it’s also not recognizable as red. everywhere he goes, he gets a sticker. everywhere. if he sees one while he’s on a mission, he’ll grab it and stick it in his bag to put on later that night. he has to fill it 10-11 times/day on missions, 4-5 if he’s not being too active
working out
jake fronts to run three miles every morning and does strength training at least 5 times per week. usually it’s early in the morning, he never sleeps more than 10 hours, and that’s only after hard missions. otherwise it’s a max of 8 hours. very unhinged.
marc likes to do cardio at night, especially if he’s stressed, which is 7 times out of 10
steven doesn’t work out. like ever. not even when he’s upset.
overall the body gets in 3-6 miles per day, and about 3 hours of strength training per day minimum
they’re strong as fuck
eating habits
jake, as the protector, knows how to cook
he also really enjoys it, cooking for you and himself at night or waking you up with a nice breakfast after he’s gotten back from the gym and showered
steven likes to eat, but oftentimes forgets, especially if he has his nose buried in a book
you’ve taken to leaving snacks on his desk— apples, pears, bits of the dark chocolate you know he likes— and packing him a lunch every day before work. you try to get him in a little of every food group: some yogurt, pinwheels, and more chocolate is his favorite meal you pack him
marc forgets all the time. every time he fronts, especially around a meal time, you grab him something good to eat. if he fronts for long periods of time, you’ll pack him full meals that will last with or without cooling. you always throw some beef jerky into his bag, too.

I recently found my “gold” hammer after misplacing it. It’s my favorite tool ever because it looks like a regular hammer trying to be fancy,
but then you twist both halves and unscrew it to find a flat-head screwdriver in the middle.
BUT, if you twist the very end and unscrew that
you find a phillips screwdriver.
BUT DON’T THINK THAT’S ALL THERE IS! THERE’S MORE!! unscrew the very end again to find a smaller flat-head screwdriver!
BUT THAT’S STILL NOT THE END!!
unscrew the end of this screwdriver to find a final, teeny tiny, flat-head screwdriver
look at how cute it is!
it’s like a matryoshka doll of tools.
