Whoops after two and a half years I finally posted a new chapter in my StEx military!AU 😅 This time a little more Greased Lightning-heavy as Elias finally becomes a proper secondary character; and the first official appearance of Prupp!

Summary: C.B. finally officially meets Elias, and helps Greg and he deal with the secrecy a same-sex relationship in the military requires whilst having to handle his own yearning heart as he and Dinah spend the holidays on opposite sides of the world.

In light of Pride month imma randomly ramble about character stexualities and crap every day cause why the hell not

Today:

Purse

Pansexual, poly, with a big preference for Daddies™️

He had a little crush on Electra when he first joined the Components, but then he met Krupp and he fell fast and hard. He’ll still sleep around because he loves that, but in the end only Krupp truly is the one for him.

Krupp is an absolute Computer Dad in that he is terrible with them

He looks like this when using a computer

Purse usually takes pity on him and helps him send his email

The others don’t even bother anymore

@neacle there you go lofe

some unsolicited Krupp/Purse hc's that are left from yesterday's brainstorm session. If any of these sound familiar, it's because @neacle and I are literally the same person.

- Krupp is somewhere on the aroace spectrum, meaning their relationship is kinda queerplatonic. Purse, who's pan and also a slut, sleeps around with others, but in the end only Krupp is the one for him.

- Krupp and Purse just like to hang out. Like after a long day of work they just sit together, Krupp reads a book, Purse does his nails, they occasionally say something. They’re simply enough at ease with each other that they can comfortably do their own thing together.

- Krupp doesn’t like to ask for help, but every once in a while he’ll show up in Purse’s room grumbling and Purse just gets up, grabs whatever thing Krupp can’t reach, and goes on with his life.

- Purse is into drag. Krupp is supportive of this, not necessarily vocally, but he's always there when Purse wants to go out in drag but is scared of judgement.

- Purse loves dancing, Krupp doesn't really, but he enjoys holding Purse close so he indulges him.

- They never really officially 'got together'; they just hung out so much that at some point the other Components started referring to them as a couple, and they never corrected them.

- Krupp was the first one to say "I love you", though Purse doesn't know it, cause he said it in German. They were just hanging out again, and at some point Krupp just let an "Ich liebe dich" slip out. Purse went "What?" and Krupp said "Nothing" and they just let it slide. Later Purse would say it.

- Purse has learned some basic German for the sole purpose of being able to say things like "Sie ist ja so nervig" whenever Joule is pestering them again, to which Krupp just replies "Genau." It drives the others up the wall.
