BRIDGERTON

helping your partner undress/into the shower after a night of drinking/during sickness

being the only one capable of calming your partner down during a stressful situation

sharing clothes or showers

routine kisses

dancing to some silly music at the crack of dawn

writing each other love-letters

holding hands or interlacing fingers even when it's inconvenient

helping each other deal with loss of family members (not only in the emotional-aspect)

creating a memorial for a family member

helping each other furnish or decorate each other's house if not living together

letting your partner have their own drawer/things scattered all over the place if not living together

driving through the city at night

being ok with your partner showing up at your house at 2am, for any reason, no matter how small

texting your partner late at night asking them to come over, for intimacy, or to cuddle, for comfort or to eat

using your partner's love language to make them feel loved

being really competitive during board or video games

or starting a discussion because you clearly let me win but ''it's because you'd never win otherwise''

gossiping about things you aren't supposed to tell anyone

falling asleep while cuddling on the couch

playing pranks on each other (sometimes in public)

purposely making lame jokes to try and embarrass your partner

inside jokes/innuendos at improper times

discussing marriage/kids

from @quartermera:

slapping each other's butts casually and, depending on the situation, trying not to get caught doing it

video call when you are away from each other

ranting to each other about people you dislike

cuddling while being busy with your own things (ex. watching videos, reading, gaming)

arguing about what movie to watch together

teaching each other things about each other's hobbies or cultures

watching each other do things

getting each other snacks and sharing them

studying together if you're students. and i mean it literally

discuss "Am I the Asshole?" posts

be honest if something your partner did hurt you

joke or have a serious talk about your future together

from @purlturtle

discussing what to make for lunch/dinner/what groceries to get

divvying out who does what chores, both on a general basis (i'm usually the one doing laundry, my wife usually does dishes) and on a case-by-case basis (when one of us doesn't feel like or cannot do the chore)

decorating together (and discussing if teal is a good color to paint the bedroom in)

receiving visitors together (and cleaning the place beforehand)

hanging out together, doing something together or doing something individual (but still being together in the same room because you want to be close to each other)

"you left the bedroom window open and now it's fucking freezing in there!"

negotiating different styles and wants (or even needs) for decoration, music, lighting, workplace design if one or more of them work from home etc

have date nights at home

take care of pets or kids or family members or neighbors

cuddle in bed together (but, and this is rarely depicted, not always sleeping in each other's arms or even in the same bed - my sleep is too light; I'd wake up each time someone moves close to me. other people run hot in the night and don't need other bodies in bed with them. people snore. people have different circadian rhythms.)

"have you taken your meds today? remember you wanted to stretch before bed!" (okay, this is the middle age edition, I suppose 😅)

stumbling over something you partner did around the home that you weren't aware of, or simply discarded socks lying around randomly.

breakfast in bed

sova: i trust i am not alone in thinking fade’s sudden change of heart is incredibly suspicious. 

neon, nodding: yeah, the whole thing’s super sus

cypher: i don’t think—

chamber: she greeted me in the hall today. ‘hello, how are you’, the whole charade. if she’s playing a part, she’s certainly playing it well

kayo: and i’m pretty sure i heard her say ‘please’ when she asked sage for a heal yesterday. really trying to sell it.

cypher: that. that isn’t—
