Poirot brings Hastings around on investigations for several reasons, one being that he will inevitably flirt with the murderer and lull them into a false sense of security. The upshot of this is Poirot is automatically suspicious of anyone Hastings flirts with and it’s definitely NOT jealousy at all.
Let's give our elders some respect. Those two were meant for each other, the Belgian dandy, his little grey cells and symmetric mustache and the oh so English Hastings. Miss Lemon approves.
Napoleon Solo/Illya Kuryakin:
Illya and Napoleon just looking good together in the recent version and the old one
Poirot: A dick. Inspector Japp showed me it once. I was a bit concerned about it at first. But after trying it I changed my mind. It's delicious,and with the special cream it tastes even better!
Hastings: *criminal offencive sideeye*
Poirot: *shows a spotted dick pudding he just baked*
There’s little I love more than Hastings making some idle comment or observation that leads Poirot to a sudden, case solving realization. Reminiscing about times you’ve seen Poirot’s hands shake? Musing on all the nicknames for Margaret? STROKE OF BRILLIANCE.
Poirot like yes this is Hastings, my white noise machine. He helps me think and I love him.
I love that when one starts watching the Poirot series, there's no explanation who the hell Hastings is.
The first few minutes you get to figure out that Poirot is a detective and that Miss Lemon works for him. But who is Hastings? Why does he follow Poirot everywhere and just reads newspapers in Poirot's rooms? Does he not work? Why does Poirot cook for him? There's no explanation and the viewer just has to go along with it.

Hi guys!
This is my first ever multi-chapter fic. Also, my first Poirot one!
I don’t know if there is a Poirot fandom, if so, I’d love to know, but regardless, if you see this, I hope you enjoy it!
Have a nice day!
And Well... before this I already had watched this:
And this:
So I never thought that Poirot could be gay... Or some way attached to sexual things... But now... I mean...
...
My father hate it when I make every Character he likes gay (what happens a lot) but well...
How couldn't I? How should i resist, when they look at each other like this?!
Look at these two 🤲✨
I just wanted to tell anyone...
By the way I love Hastings; his relationship with Poirot ist so unique and I love to ship these two. The eccentric and the golden Labrador. Perfection 🤌✨
