🕑 Added 2025-02-15 15:00:08 +0000 UTCI hope you guys don't get the impression that I dislike discourse in the comments. I love reading about everyone's opinions and thoughts! However when I saw that some of you seemed to get the impression that Sooch was naive/clueless about sex, rather than a guy whose views of sex (and related vocabulary) are shaped by hetero cultural norms, I wanted to step in and clear that up. I was v overstimulated last week and went on quite the rant 😂 Thank you for saying such nice things last week.
*Thank you for pointing out the typo, it's fixed now 🫣

It’s so hard to wait a week for the next pages
Hollz
Also. Sooch's feet dangling. haha
Ella Romain
I'm inlove too
Abigail
Ok so no one saw that he picked sooch up that hug and swing him. 😆
Gegegee
Howie stop saying this or else sooch will die 😭💞💞
VelBelle
I can feel the love 💗
Manda
omg yes
Emma
I just want him to say it back directly 😭😭🩷
Stacie Melendez
Back from rereading. I fucking adore them so much it makes me wanna sob 😭🫶🏼
Lora
Me kicking my feet every time Howie says he loves him! Ahhh!!!
Cynthia Smith (Dex)
Lol, I hadn't noticed those. Yeah he definitely is.
Magz
I THOUGHT SO TOO NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT BUT THERE'S MOTION LINES NEAR HIS FEET
Magz
Okay but do you see the motion lines near Sooch's feet? I'm pretty sure he's full-on DANGLING
Daisy
YOINK get TF back here bitch I love you too 😂
Julie
🥰🥰🥰
Morgen Schuler
Not a peep from Sooch about “ baby” I think he loves it now. Oof, these two. ☺️ and I don’t know that Howie even realizes Sooch isn’t touching the floor on page two lol.
Fluttersky29
Omg it’s getting sooo cute, not that it wasn’t before but the story is getting sooo much better 🥰🥰
VANNA
Yeah Howie it's going to freak out... And also I really want them to start telling other people so that we can see how they act in front of their friends haha.
Manda
(I also freak out every time he says it bc it’s so sweet and also I cannot wait until Sooch says it back 🥰)
VANNA
You're totally right haha. 🤣✌️.
Manda
Howie has said I love you a few times but Sooch still hasn’t! I think Howie has been pretty up front about his feelings since he said “I’m pretty sure I’m in love with you” before they even tried anything
Madeline
This stuff is the real fluff the fluff that makes you kick your feet in the air going eeeeee!
silvercrown429
well of course howie knew that sooch loves him but expressing yourself on a casual level and saying the three worded sentence like that is in a step of its own imo
Morgen Schuler
Normally gushy romance gives me the eye rolls but damnit if they aren’t the sweetest, now I just have the warm fuzzies. ☺️
Dani Z
Sooch is so in love he literally doesn’t know wtf to do with himself, & I think that’s hilarious 😅😅😅😅
irk idrk
i love how Howie says i love you all the time. Lately every time Howie says it Sgooch looks like he wants to say it back or is debating on whether he should say it back. Sooch always looks so in thought after Howie says he loves him and I hope that means he’s thinking about maybe saying it back soon
Gracie Bou
I love when Howie just MELTS like that
HannaLuLu
Melting 🫠 at all the love
emma
There's something in the way Howie looks at Sooch after he gave him the breakfast he did for him that is so sweet and moving at the same time 🥺
Luna Lena
Screaminggghh they’re SO SMITTEN
Mm-ft
I don't think we'll ever see a page without one of them blushing from the other one's adorableness 😁
Nad1n0
I really like the way you show Sooch‘s growing love and amazement for Howie. His subtle looks and how he always tries to touch him, I personally can really relate to this and it makes me think of my own relationship. Just wanted to share this
Nee
I think the drive by “I love yous” are purposeful on Howie’s part and encompass many reasons: he wants Sooch to always hear it from him so he doesn’t have to wonder; he wants it be normalized language between them; he doesn’t want Sooch to feel pressured to say it before he’s ready; he’s a tiny bit afraid of actually seeing any tiny hesitation in Sooch’s response and breaking his own heart by accident EVEN THOUGH HE KNOWS Sooch cares for him deeply. Anyway I dig it. At some point Howie’s gonna attempt to run away post ILY declaration and Sooch is gonna YOINK him back and declare he loves him too and Howie will combust. It will be glorious.
Cynthia Smith (Dex)
Exactly.
Umbrathor
I hope so, or Howie might lose his job.
Umbrathor
All very plausible. I though: dude is just late for work AGAIN and he knows it.
Littl3Gr3mlin
Howie being notorious for absconding after saying "I love you"
Umbrathor
True love is accepting the cabbage your boyfie hands you and thanking them for the awesome lunch. Then buying a bread roll on the way to work.
Umbrathor
@Reba so sweet!
Insaner
You capture domesticity SO well!! So many comics (and books!) have such a tough time writing an established relationship, but you make it feel so real. Thank you Bittie!
AJ
Right?! I expect nothing good but hope for it. I feel like Liam is very misunderstood and I think he is in love with Howie and doesn't know in....but the DRAMA!!!
Umbrathor
Sooch basically did, when they were falling asleep and he said: "I think I realized I was falling in love when..."
Umbrathor
Just across the street - dramaaaaa! Maybe Liam will confront Sooch on his way to his therapy appointment.
purplepanda
Howie being shocked every time he’s reminded of just how much sooch likes him back is so cute hahaha
Umbrathor
A very living, breathing, beautiful person who is only human and is more than allowed to go on rants or other things that could be seen as less-than-perfect because no one is perfect and no one needs to be. Plus we stan rants. And even like them.
Umbrathor
Awesome! I hadn't noticed either the 'rock' or the tippy toes. Thanks for helping me see more!
Insaner
LOL me every chapter 😅
Insaner
Oh for sure - I'm sure Howie doesn't want to "make Sooch feel like he has to say it back" so I def think it's gonna BLOW HIS LIL HOWIE MIND when Sooch actually gets the chance to say it to him ❤️
Samuel Paxton
He keeps saying I love you then running away UUUUGH 😫
GR
At first I thought "rock" was describing Howies muscular arms and i was like 👍👍 nice. Then I saw the sway lines and Sooch on his tippy toes, and now I'm cackling! So cute!
Cynthia Smith (Dex)
~sighs~ they are so adorable. I feel that tippy toe hug & kiss. Author: I don't mind the little rants. I love little rant or comment; it provides unique perspective/opinions, plus it reminds me on my very forgetful or disconnected days that a very living, breathing, beautiful person is behind the wonderful stories I am reading.
underwraps
I love view Sooch is anxious and unsure about things but still very clearly loves Howie and wants things to be good and move forward I think it's very realistic and I love them
Elliott Christian
I think that’s him on tip toes cause Howie’s arms would need to be lower
Biwitchwithclaws
They’re so cute, I can’t😫😭
kaid
the ily dash per usual
SilentGAY
My heart 🥹😭
Lunarfrey
So wholesome 🥰
Mooo777 8
Did howie lifted sooch? Seems like it because his feet are like not on the floor 😅
kozmicdonut
I love them sm, they are just so sweet to each other. 🥲💕
AJ
I love the lost in the moment Sooch gets. I feel like he wants to tell Howie he loves him but can't find the words. I love that he tries to do small things instead. ....however....something is bothering me and causing me worry in all this bliss. Something nagging at me that I can't and don't want to forget in all of this. One word....Liam.....
silvercrown429
I’m curious about the moment when sooch will finally get the stage to say I love you back it’s like howie rush’s out before he can get the chance
Love
The way Howie tucked his breakfast into his bicep 💪🏼 so he could hold Sooch's face with both hands 🥰
BrowsAndSpecs
I love how Howie treats Sooch and expresses his love beyond just words. 😍😍😍 If only that were more common.
K Méndez
Best update ever! 🥴💘💗💓
Reba
My boyfriend did the exact same thing in the beginning of our relationship. When howie first says it into sooch’s shoulder and scurries off, I showed it to my boyfriend and laughed so hard 😆 this went on for weeks until he finally gave me eye contact and we slowed the moment down so I could say it back ☺️ I feel howie and sooch will get there soon!!! 🤗🤞🏻🤞🏻
Jules
Time to reread 😌
Jessmich
Awww waiting for the day that Sooch gets to finally say I love you🥹
Milly
So much love ❤️ 😍
Chey
"I LOVE YOU BYE" 😭😭😭😭😭 makes me think of "see you in chemistry!!!!"
VANNA
I really don't remember them saying I Love You to each other so I freak out a little but reading the comments maybe they already did haha I'm gonna have to go and read the whole thing again haha. And Sooch on his tiptoes 🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🤭🤭
HoneyB
I love them so much 😭
mccauliflower
this is my new favorite chapter 🥹🥹
Exo_Soto
I want it to be Saturday again. I love them so much! 😩❤️
Kumiko Misaki
I have a big smile in my face 🥰 This is exactly what I needed after valentine being ruined
Kumiko Misaki
like 3 or 4 times
Amber
Not Sooch on his tippies..
Jules
What has he said i love you before????
Kiss
Omg stop he’s on his tippy toes 🥺
Mooo777 8
Nope
Devon
...ahhhh.... did he just... ahhhh!!!!
Katiebee72
If Howie would just wait a damn minute after saying ILY, instead of rushing out the door, Sooch would say it back!! Like, give the man a chance!! Also, this domesticity suits them!
Tia
I was like “that’s a big ass rice ball” 🤣
katie
Sweet bbs 🤍 Sooch is thiiisssss close to saying it back!!!
katie
In ch 19 it was Sat morning so I think it’s actually Tues morning!! I could be wrong tho
Teddy Chanel
Is this the first time Howie says love?!?!?!?! 🥹
Ricki
I think he's also trying to not pressure him, probably mixed with some fear he won't say it. But man I feel bad for Sooch, like at least slow down enough for him to get a word out.
Talu
Oops didn't mean to send that as a reply.. but I was liking the minimalness.
Talu
I love the feelings you can get with no words. I spend as much time reading these 2 page updates as I do on 20pg updates of the official stories. I love the others but I scroll fast. These, I like stare at every single detail that I can.
Ricki
I get the feeling Sooch has been trying to say it back, but Howie is always out the door before he can say it.
Mr. Las
💞💕💓❤️❤️🔥❣️💖💘💝💗❤️🩹
Jade
Legit thought he handed Howie a whole cabbage for a second there LMAO but aww such sweeties so cute 🥹🥹❤️❤️❤️
Daisy
he’s said he’s starting to fall in love with him, but he hasn’t said i love you yet He’s really building up to it!
Jackie V
The way Howie rocks Sooch side to side in a hug got me screaming 😭❤️ I love them
Laura YUC
Ugh I felt the heart flutters that they felt through the screen ❤️
yasmine
oh my stomach is tingling 🥹😖 i love them and their relationship soooooo bad
Millie J
I was just wondering... Has he said it back yet?
SnowWrite
The ”baby” gets me all the time
Millie J
UGH best fluff
Mari
I love how Sooch is blushing all the time hehehe
Mistral
I think he has already, not sure.
Arii
This is what I want in a relationship. Maaan, for some people this can be so minimal, but I appreciate the little things! They're so cute, I love them!
SunGlitter
🧀🍳🥰😂😭
charlie
ugh god they're SO CUTE
Amanda
It’s Saturday so I believe he’s only late for meeting Ben at the gym, thankfully 🤣 Sorry Ben, it’s one special bro before other bros.
Ino
My standards are rising again... 😮💨
Lauren
Love the update! I think there might be a typo on the third to last panel? “Let me know for your appointment goes” should that be how your appointment goes?
Ino
I think it's because Howie feels really shy about 🤭
Pheobe Jackson
It's getting harder and harder not to say it back, huh Sooch
Amanda
Sooch on tiptoe 😭😭 Making him breakfast is such a small gesture, but it actually means so much. It’s also so domestic I could scream. 🥰 (Btw I never got the impression that you disliked the discussion in the comments at all. I think part of why being a patreon member is great is that we get to hear from you directly about the characters motivations/thoughts as well as discussing it among ourselves.)
Amelia Rector
The ways that breakfast made Howie melt like the cheese on his egg sandwich 😆 Well, we can be sure of Sooch’s love language. Acts of service speak louder than the words he struggles to say.
Kiera _Klark
NO SO REAL
Cilla
Awwhh they're so cute! And don't worry, bittie! It happens to everyone, you are allowed to be overwhelmed, and you're allowed to express your thoughts and feelings. You are human, and so are we❤️
kyla letterman
SOMETIMES I JUST WANNA BEEE SOOCH CAUSE OMFGGG
Ms.Hellsing
It's all good author! I love this comic though, seeing their relationship dynamic is nice ❤️
Lisa
I think you meant to have Howie say "let me know *how* your appointment goes" 🖤
faith
this man always leaves before giving sooch a chance to say i love you back 😩
Shmitty
1st panel of the 2nd page Sooch is LITERALLY ON HIS TOES HOWIES PICKING HIM UP I ADORE THESE SMALL DETAILS
Kiera _Klark
I never used to like baby as a term of endearment but this comic has got me changing my minddddd 🤭🤭🤭🤭
A.R.Walker_Art
HAHA bro same, I did the whole like heel-to-heel kick 🤣
Buff Yoda
Lmao is sooch on his tippy toes or did he get dragged up. Both is plausible lol
Júlia
Their hug- I'm gonna cry
Lillie
So cute. Here's breakfast so 😍
Biologygirl
Man they loooooooove each other. Those blushy faces!
Rose
The way Howie dips out so quickly every time he tells Sooch he loves him, I think poor baby is scared Sooch won't say it back🥺
BiliousBecca
Am I the only one wondering just how late Howie is for work??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Any
They are so domestic ugh I love Saturday mornings ♥️
Daisy
Sooch on his tippy toes!!! Thats so cute 🥰 🥰🥰
Any

LV
