Espresseleine Headcannons!
Espresso secretly likes headpats and Madeleine always gives them to him when they’re in private.
Madeleine HATES when people touch his magnificent haircing, but he’s okay with Espresso doing it because he loves him so much. Sometimes, Espresso is so tempted to touch his soft, fluffy hair that he reaches out on impulse, even during a council or an important meeting lol
Espresso likes to kiss Madeleine’s battle scars and freckles (yes, I hc he has freckles)
Espresso, at first, wasn’t very good at showing affection. It took him a couple weeks to figure it out. At one point, he even read a book about it🥹🙏 But from then on, he became pretty clingy with Madeleine. He even started engaging in some tame PDA (nothing really intense, however. He has a reputation to uphold.)
Espresso calls everyone “dear”, both sarcastically and affectionately, but Madeleine gets Princess Treatment ™️ and gets “dearest” instead.
Madeleine likes to call Espresso “Es,” “Essie,” “‘Spresso,” “love,” “angel,” “darling,” “sweet brew (coffee pun),” “starlight,” etc.
Espresso likes to call Madeleine “Maddie,” “Leine,” “Made,” “dearest,” “darling,” “tresoro (espressos are of italian culture),” etc.
Bonus: Espresso apologised after shouting at him in LCS, and Madeleine apologised as well for fumbling the team and talking over him and ignoring his opinions, as well as everyone else’s. They’re also a very healthy couple and their communication only improves the longer they’re together and mature together!
