i promise i'll make a nicer pinned post at a later date. but this will be my placeholder till i can flesh out a better one!

he somehow just keeps... appearing... before you start dating. out of breath and with his hair a bit messy, he would jog up to you and go "oh! i thought that was you! hey! :)"

it's almost like a game trying to guess how many times his typing text bubble will pop-up and vanish before he responds

handmakes a lot of gifts for you with whatever he can do. cute cards, big prints of photos he's taken, tiny feats of mediocre engineering accomplished in a sub-par apartment

whenever you come over he just loves doing whatever you want. facemasks. pizza. movies. cuddling. crafts. whatever you want.

more than he likes you coming over, he likes going over to yours. he likes breathing in a room that only smells like you and your life. he likes seeing all the little parts of you he doesn't see in his own room.

loves cuddling with his head on your thighs or stomach

he loves to share new information with you. he likes how you listen and he enjoys hearing what questions you ask and seeing you light up over learning new things

his love was one-sided and internally slow burn for a while. he studied his feelings, his body's reaction to you, before finally deciding to confess... he managed to get a date with you. and then studied how to woo you meticulously beforehand.

he doesn't particularly like petnames... he prefers to simply call you your name. and you hear you call him his

he enjoys working with you silently in the room with him. no words, not even particularly looking at him. just sitting there. nodding when he says thins.

most physical affection he initiates is slow and subtle. just very light nudges and small touches. he's satisfied with little reminders that you're there

oh boy hes stinky. hes so stinky. you have to bully him to shower and more often than not, you end up doing his laundry or cleaning his room for him

he loves it when you’re mean to him. he will piss you off on purpose so you will yell at him

goes rapidly between wanting to abandon you and being obsessed with you

when you first start fucking around, he is a pretty bad kisser. but he starts to figure it out eventually

doesn't care if you ask for his hoodies, but he makes you wear them anyway. when it's cold he'll shove one at you and make you warm up in it.

sometimes... when you're hanging out with the league, he just gets really silent and watches. just listens to your laugh and watches you have fun with everyone. like you belong here.

almost always wants to kiss but won't say anything about it

absolutely scoops you up and spins you in circles every time you reunite

is incredibly over dramatic when you aren’t together

tries his best to propose to you romantically to be with him for forever

will sneak into your bed to cuddle and then say he was sleep walking, even if caught in the middle of it

he gets so flustered when you flirt with him, any affection or attention has him acting like a teenager again

baldroy does try to stand up for you to sebastian when things get nasty or argumentative

she thinks the best of you. she always sees the good in you and constantly goes on about how impressed she is by everything you do. and it's incredibly genuine

you are welcomed into the la bouffs immediately. they make it their business to not judge people, especially those charlotte loves like tiana and you.

tiana definitely has to get a good look at you, judge if you're trustworthy and if you'll be good to charlotte. tiana just wants to make sure her best friend winds up happy

once you and charlotte are together though, tiana loves you. and you pick-up extra work at her restaurant to help out every now and then

charlotte will phone your workplace trying to find excuses to bring you home, or even just chat for a second

charlotte loves having a partnership with you. she enjoys hosting the parties, sending out your letters, scheduling your appointments. and you help her cook and keep up repairs on the house and car.

your relationship is a balance of orders and battles for dominance. one of you has to give in eventually.

sesshomaru entered the relationship for strategy. for power. the love part came later.

rarely ever describes himself as 'loving' you. describes you relationship as more of an alliance of loyalty or a union of power.

and of course you sleep on his giant mass of fluff he carries around

sesshomaru gets incredibly stressed when you're wounded. he becomes far more possessive and aggressive with others till he's sure you're better

you two have drawn blood from each other on more than one occassion

he is... soooo emotionally unavailable. he's so distant and uncommunicative (at least until someone talks some sense into him)

he does not like you leaving his palace at all

you have to coax him like an animal to go on walks with you outside of the royal halls

physical affection becomes his primary way of communicating his mood. squeezing your hand when he's upset, but not with you. kisses to the head when he has a busy day. engulfing you in his arms when he's exhausted.

uses his riches and access to gemstones to fashion you wonderful jewelry

dating thomas & lucille sharpe [crimson peak] ...

he is so delicate with you. patient, slow, gentle, tender

tends to look at you like a deer almost. doe-eyed, caught in headlights. he even starts calling you “fawn” and “deer/dear”

definitely blows off medical ethics to ensure he is the one to treat all your wounds and make sure you are safe and healthy

collects old paintings and portraits and photographs of people who look like you, who could have been you in a different life

does definitely have a vial of your blood he totally did NOT steal while doing your bloodwork one day

does his best to keep things between you professional for as long as possible
