• He's very handsy when getting intimate. Even though his hands are calloused from the Expeditioners journey and fights through the continent, they're like velvet guiding up your hips and thighs. Tracing his fingers against your skin, memorizing how your touch feels.

• He likes to pleasure you first. Taking pride in seeing you feel ecstatic. Reaching your high as his face sits between your legs. Pale eyes looking up, half lidded eyelids as he pleases you slowly and teasing.

• He's rather vocal. Getting more noisy when you display any sort of dominance. A hair pull? Rolling your hips against his when his speed isnt fast enough? Low moans and even some high-pitched whimpers leave him, Rolling his head back and letting pretty noises spill out as he submits and goes faster.

• His speed when he's slotted between your legs is slower, but deep and passionate. Pulling out slowly, just to thrust forward roughly. Before his need to feel you gets too intense even for him and he sloppily ruts into you faster, his frame weighted against you as he holds you, years of not being able to please himself with another catching up to him.

• He likes kissing your neck and around your collarbone. Nuzzling into the crook of your neck as he spills into you, the kisses also helping to quiet his breathy moans, shaky breath hot against your skin as he fills you. A string of "fucks" and "i love you"s leaving him in uncontrollable hushed whispers.

• Firstly, he'd love feeling your fingers threading through his hair. I mean, i've seen two instances where Esquie pats him on the head and he seems to lean into it. Imagine if it was his s/o?

• he'd melt into it. Shamelessly leaning against your touch. his eyebrows knit together with his eyes closed, a low hum leaving his lips as it brings him instant peace. It also helps him get decent sleep for once.

•He is an amazing listener who remembers small details about you. Taking note of your interests, your hobbies, he even notices small things like your silent habits you don't even take notice of. He's one of those people who would mention something if it reminded him of you. I've always believed he'd be very perceptive and secretly sentimental, given his time alone in the canvas.

•expect small, witty comments. and some humorous sarcasm here and there. Seeing his moments with Monoco, I can definitely see him making small, lighthearted remarks, mostly to make you laugh or roll your eyes at him. He also cherishes inside jokes, bringing them up often just to be reminded of your smile.

• Even if you did happen to know piano. He'd still dedicate nights to sitting with you on the piano bench, his fingers above yours as he controls your hands, his fingers delicately pressing down against your own, happy to show you his true passion, and it was apparent by the geniune smile etched on his face. His eyes holding a light as he lives in a moment where everything feels untroubled for once. He'd praise you, even though you didnt press anything on your own.

• Isn't much of a PDA person, at least Painted Verso isn't. Especially when away from camp, as he's more focused on protecting you, making sure you're not injured. Especially after what happened with Julie, he's very very careful on keeping you from getting too injured or taking too many risks. His heart still heavy from his past experience, he doesn't want to lose another beloved.

• At camp though? When everyone is asleep? He's actually quite the cuddle bug. his craving for physical touch very obvious, especially after he gets more comfortable in the relationship. He's also rather clingy after too much wine.

• He's admitted to having a hard time sleeping. But you seem to be the cure for that. He hasn't slept this good in literal years. Your touch always drowns out his existential anxiety, feeling like maybe there is a purpose to his painted existence other than his family's grief. You make him feel like he's more, that he can have his own purpose.

• Moments alone are full of words of endearments. He secretly loves pet names, its kind of like inside jokes to him, he holds it close because it your thing. Exclusive to your relationship. It warms his heart knowing that he can genuinely make you smile.
