other folks will reply with what affectionate nickname their character would call yours if they were significant others...because now, they are!
pet names can be a simple riff on/shortening of someone's name, cute, stupid, sexy (babe, etc), serious (my sun and stars), time period appropriate (dollface), or just plain weird. sky's the limit.
from that one(ish) word prompt, threads spring eternal. shippy, smutty, adventure-filled, angsty, cracky, whatever. go with it!
[ It's a thoughtless thing, and whispered harshly to a very apologetic Narancia as Abbacchio ushers him back out of the living room, away from their sleeping boss who's passed out on the couch—

[ There's a letter on Ben's desk when he arrives at work.

Staring at you!
On the paper has been scrawled a quick note in handwriting that is tall, thin, and barely not chickenscratch. It's also written with an Italian accent...is that even possible? ]
Dear servant of the very boring lord,
I saw you didn't eat the cookies I left last time, so I'm not leaving any today :( You really need to think about how your actions speak to others, my little angel-worshipper! Angel-hugger! You can do what you like, I suppose, but sometimes what you do effects others, you know... Think about that
Just wondering if you'd have time to speak about Satan today. Your schedule says you're free 1:30 til 1:45. That should be enough time to start introducing some of the basic concepts. I really think you're gonna love it if you listen! Give it a try! I can tell you've got the energy we crave, you and your frightening friend :)
[ gen only / non-ship pet names bc who doesn't secretly (or not secretly) have nicknames for their friend/enemy/fellow delinquent/etc. assumed cr very much okay. ]
[Tony's seen the reindeer handlers down at the shopping mall parking lot at Christmas. He's watched the way they grab the beasts by the antlers and steer them about. He wonders what would happen if he grabbed Loki by the horns on his helmet, or is it supposed to be a crown?]
