could you maybe make a platonic and romantic with leofric
I started this blog and then got horribly sick so woo, I'm late!
Leofric Romantic Headcanons
He would prefer someone to read with, someone calm. He just doesn't do well with anyone loud or too active. It's not that he's lazy or anything, he just prefers to have his peace, and he expects his partner to at least respect that.
He is likely to be his partner's rock. He is very calm and collected, he has his rituals, and he doesn't often prepare surprises. That doesn't mean he's boring, of course, his dates will be carefully planned and crafted to be of maximum enjoyment for his partner.
He is not the most openly affectionate person. He doesn't mind holding your hand in public or while you read together but anything further than that requires some convincing and maybe prep. However, there is one loophole: If you sit in his lap as he reads, he will melt into a slightly more affectionate mood.
He will spoil you with lavish gifts. Being a merchant and now a noble with personal connections to the royal family, there is little he cannot get you. He keeps a list of things you expressed interest in to get you for dates or special occasions. Better be careful what you wish for with him around though because he doesn't really understand that sometimes you just say something without thinking much.
Speaking of dates, expect a lot of indoor dates. He doesn't really like going outside more than necessary and it's not like he needs to. His mansion has incredible cooks, wonderful views, a garden with all of your favorite flowers... Sometimes, his Hypogean side peaks out, whispering that he should just keep you from ever leaving the mansion, like a bird in a golden cage.

Where did you even meet him? Chances are, it was probably during one of Prince Lester's parties. In that case, congratulations, you were probably the extrovert who adopted this introverted elegant guy. It's not that he can't make friends but he's quite satisfied with the contacts he already has.
He prefers to hang out in pairs or small groups like the Tulip Poetry Circle and it also helps if you include someone he feels comfortable with. Like Lester. Actually, expect to hang out with Lester a lot, the two of them are quite tight despite their very different origins.
You'll find that he's a lot more talkative through letters. While he may not be that great at usual conversation beyond polite small talk, he will write out tens of pages of letters. His handwriting is very neat too and it is obvious he writes a lot. However, he doesn't expect you to match his length so don't worry.
Surprisingly enough, he likes hunting trips. It probably took you by surprise but it's a good chance for his hound to stretch its legs and have some fun and Leofric himself likes the peace and quiet of the woods even more than the hunt itself. Really, not that much actually gets hunted on these trips.
It definitely took him a while for him to show you his Hypogean form. He is slow to trust but once you get in close with him, he will support you. And with him, you will have access to Prince Lester's resources too so overall, it is a friendship well worth the investment of time.
