Heyy how are you guys doing? How's life? Remember to drink water (that's for u too mod) <33
Ben: hello, we’re hanging in there, right Pythias?
Nathan: *half asleep* mm-hmm Damon…. Snuggle time. I’m sleepy… and I need you.
Ben: well, we’re apparently sleepy today but we are well overall. Especially considering everything that last week brought up for us… for Nathan…
Nathan: *whimpers softly and clings to Ben*
Ben: thank you for worrying about all of us and checking in.
Nathan: *nods* yes, thank you.
(Mod: thanks for checking in! We’re all drinking enough water. I hope you’re well too.)

Nathan hummed softly as he walked up to Ben and planted a soft kiss on his forehead, followed by one on his nose, his cheek, and ending with his lips. Nathan lingered there for a moment before pulling away slightly.
Ben melted into the embrace and rested his head on Nathan’s shoulder when he pulled away. “What was all that for?”
“For you, for your birthday,” Nathan smiled.
“Birthday?”
Nathan frowned and ran his fingers through Ben’s hair which hung loosely around his shoulders. His dark curls soft in Nathan’s hands. “Don’t tell me you forgot your own birthday Benjamin?”
“It’s been busy I… this time of year as well, memories from winter encampments….”
Nathan kissed Ben again and wrapped him in a tighter embrace. “None of that now. Let me hold you, Damon, hold you and remind you that you are special and worth it today and every day.”
“Thank you Nathan.”
“Happy birthday my love.”

Nathan: *leaning over a stack of papers that need grading*
Ben: *sneaking up behind Nathan. Stops right behind his chair, spins it around and scoops up Nathan holding him bridal style*
Nathan: D-Damon?
Ben: kisses. Snuggles. Now.
Nathan: *kisses Ben and tries to squirm away* Benny I have papers to grade.
Ben: Nope. It’s Valentine’s Day and you, my handsome, intelligent, wonderful Pythias, will join me in having a glass of Champagne, and we will hold each other close and have some f-

(Hey Ben, Nathan?)
Ben: what is it mod?
(Can I promote something?)
Ben: it’s your blog. You don’t need to ask permission from Nathan or I.
Nathan: what mod hesitates to share is a new side blog that’s also revolutionary war themed. @we-continental-soldiers is sort of like this but you get a bunch of private soldiers and fun, angst, chaos and history!
(Thank you Nathan. Apologies for the self promotion. I normally don’t do this kind of things but I’ve wanted to make Alan thing like this for awhile now.)

Nathan Hale head-canons - teaching
He’s a history teacher but often does his own thing, combining various works of fiction and other literature you wouldn’t typically have in a high school history course into his lessons. (Yes, he has taught Anderson’s Cato and has acted parts out.)
He’s the kind of teacher who’s okay wiqth you calling him by his first name.
He would (and has) come to school dressed in full Continental Army uniform. His students thought he was a nerd, but they love him.
Bagel Mondays are a thing in his class. - breakfast is the most important meal of the day and Mondays aren’t fun, he tries to make things better for his students by giving them breakfast on random Mondays.
He always allows retakes or extra credit. If you’re willing to do the work, he’ll grade it and give some extra points.
He blames himself when students don’t do well. Even if he’s done everything in his power to help them succeed, there are times students don’t want to do the work, and Nathan feels responsible.
He overworks himself far too often, and Ben has found him asleep at this desk at home more than a few times.

Ben: *sobbing*
Nathan: Benny? You okay m’love?
Ben: *sniffles* he died with his horse! Why do they consider this a holiday song?! Sure it takes place in the winter but it’s not holly jolly!
Nathan: oh Benny...
Ben: he was so close too; only one hundred yards and… and his horse gave out and… and he couldn’t leave his old friend and he was found the next day dead: hands frozen to the reins.
Nathan: *hugs Ben* it’s okay Benny. Come on, let’s l go feed our horses alright? They’ll be warm and fed, and then we can get warm by the fire. Everyone will be safe and sound.
Ben: *sniffles* okay.
Nathan: and next time I’ll pick the playlist okay?
Ben: *chuckles* good idea.
(Listened to a song called “The Blizzard” specifically the version by Camera Obscura and Apple Music called it holiday because she changed a lyric from supper time to Christmas time and man the end broke me and I knew Ben our beloved horse boy would sob at it as well.)

Ben. Forgot “I want a hippopotamus for Christmas” I’m a five year old girl and all I want is a horse! All I’ll ever want is a horse.

Enoch: you never realize how precious someone is to you until everything changes. Love those who you hold dear as well as you can. You’ll never know when they’ll be gone.
(OTD, September 26th 1776 Enoch Hale continues his search for his beloved brother Nathan Hale. Enoch records "Go to camp, see officers of Col Webb's Regiment and speak to some of my Brother's men." They tell him that Nathan had been headed for British held Long Island. At this point Enoch’s fears of the worst probably grew.)
