Ox's thoughts when he meets 10-year-old Joe Bennett:
Ox's thoughts when 17-year-old Joe Bennett finds out Ox finds him attractive:
The Wolves convincing Ox Santa Clause is real:
A thread: so it starts off innocently enough, it’s Christmas and Robbie and the other guys at the shop are simply talking shop and Christmas comes up.
Gordo reminds him that anything that he can think of is real out there… is real.
Ox doesn’t believe him
Carter and Kelly get involved and then Joe
Ox thinks Mark won’t lie, except Mark says he’s real to.
The Bennett Brothers now vow to make this the best Christmas Ox has ever had, with presents from “Mr. s” for everyone, Mark becomes their middle man and says ‘Santa’s real but only if you believe’ and if we’re being honest Ox got shit all his early life so he didn’t believe.
Then Christmas Day, “Santa came” and the childlike innocent way Ox’s eyes light up, though his heart is still ever so steady, the brothers realize they made a mistake and now have to do this every year.
Because to Ox, Santa is real.
Elizabeth doesn’t step in because she doesn’t see any harm in it, she’s never seen her boys get so excited about Christmas before this.
Me just now realizing Mark was probably even more okay with the slightly slow young boy talking to him because he smells like his ex mate 🫣
Also not to mention he was probably only at the diner to watch out the window and see if he could spot him inside the shop. 🫣🫣🫣
I just had a thought…. Maybe Mark wasn’t necessarily just like “oh it’s Gordo” on Marks shirt because at THAT point, he would have had no idea that Marty had passed and Gordo took over the shop.
So instead of like “aww omg you smell like Gordo” it’s more of a “Gordo took over it and made it his 🥺” because Mark might be one of the only people who knows how much Gordo loves cars. (Since Thomas is lowkey a dick)

"Why do you smell like that?" he demanded. "Where did you come from? Do you live in the woods? What are you? We just got here. Finally. Where is your House?" He put his forehead against mine and inhaled deeply. "I don't get it!" he exclaimed. "What is it?"
