[ID: A mostly uncolored comic of Jon and Martin on a gray background. Martin is a tall, fat, white man with shoulder length hair pulled into a ponytail, scruffy facial hair, freckles, a tooth gap, body hair, and round glasses. He is wearing small earrings, a t-shirt, sweatpants, and socks. Jon is a shorter, thin Arab man with long curly dark hair with lighter streaks pulled into a low bun over his shoulder, a full beard and mustache, and his skin is covered in various scars. He’s wearing a long-sleeved shirt and half-moon glasses and his lower half is covered by a blanket.
Jon is sitting on a couch, humming and drawing in a sketchbook as Martin walks by, curious, and leans over the back of the couch.
Martin:What are you drawing?
Jon jumps and holds his sketchbook to his chest, blushing.
Jon:Err… Martin: Can I see? Jon: It’s not finished…
Martin sits on the couch and Jon turns away with sparkling eyes.
The drawing is a work in progress of Martin wearing white drapery, holding the bottom up to expose his legs while his other arm is raised by his head, with more drapery hanging over his arm. His chest is partly exposed, his hair is undone, and his expression is soft, looking down and to the side. His freckles and body hair haven’t been drawn yet, but he is partially colored in with red bits for his hair, blue shadows on the drapery, blush and skin tone partly rendered, and a golden background.
Martin stares at it, awestruck, blushing with his mouth hanging open as Jon presents it with his eyes closed. A note says Martin is having “many thoughts, head full”. He looks at Jon with the same expression. The final panel shows his head drawn massively as he yells, gesturing at the sketchbook. His text is in all caps.
Martin: That’s the ugly phase?! Jon:I-I mean it’s far from finis- Martin:Jon.

i think jon is an artist and the beholding beams all kinds of art knowledge into his brain at the safehouse to help him out with that. i think he uses these powers to express his love for his boyfriend by drawing him a lot in increasingly flattering ways and he’s a lil shy about it
also i am VERY tempted to like. finish jon’s drawing some time because like. it turned out better than i was intending to make it aklsjdhajdh
feeling under the weather can be hard but it helps when you have dads who are bound and determined to make you feel better <3
i asked for jmart family suggestions and @measureyourlifeincake requested “something involving a hug, a forehead kiss, and a grilled cheese cut diagonal” - and bc im hyperfixated as hell i tied it into the most recent chapter of Do It All Anew(:
