Chosen is the main romantic. He loves beautiful gestures of affection, but for a long time he was afraid to do them because he thought he would look stupid and inappropriate in a romantic setting, and that his mere presence would ruin everything. His favorite type of date is a picnic, and his favorite romantic gesture is a bouquet of flowers (receiving > giving)

Chosen also loves cute, almost saccharine nicknames. Vic cringes at it. Lord laughs, but overall he likes it

Both Chosen and Lord are very tactile; physical contact is important to them both (Chosen more so, it's his main love language and, in general, his language for expressing feelings and emotions). They are so tactile that even before their relationship, they slept in the same "bed" and didn't see anything wrong with it. But Vic isn't used to constant touching and such close physical contact

Chosen is possessive and incredibly jealous, so he will shamelessly publicly display attention to his partners, especially if he senses even the slightest competition

For Lord, love is always bordering on obsession; his partner is his world. He's ready to do literally anything for his partner, and his partner doesn't even have to directly express their desires. He tends to imagine what would be best for his partner, regardless of how much it truly reflects their partner's needs and desires

I generally think that Lord has some issues with self-identification and his own subjectivity. He very easily adopts the behavioral and character patterns of those he likes, which is why he and Chosen are much more similar than it might seem at first glance. Lord wants to dissolve into his partner, get under their skin, pull their skin over himself, be close, be one with them

And from this it follows that for Lord, intimacy becomes one of the most important components of a relationship. For him, it's the only way to become as close as possible to his partner in the moment, to achieve that much-desired fusion of souls, bodies, emotions, feelings, and sensations

Vic has a very quiet and calm love, unlike these two. He rarely gives compliments, rarely does anything obviously romantic, he doesn't particularly like holding hands without a reason, and in principle, touching each other unnecessarily is alien to him. But Vic is attentive to detail, he's observant, and he remembers all the little details of his partners' behavior well. He's calculating and caring. In short, his love language is "Acts of service"

Chos can bite from an excess of feelings. Lord can bite just for fun. Vic doesn't want to be bitten😩

Chos and Lord have a bad habit of avoiding conflict and hushing up grievances and dissatisfaction. Chos avoids his partner, and Lord pretends everything is fine. Vic has always been quite straightforward and never tolerated bad treatment, so it was he who taught these idiots to use their mouths properly and air their grievances before things escalate to a fight

*Just in case, I'll say that the Happy End AU appeared long before the release of AvA6(or 9 accord to actual numbering) and Vic's official return to the story, so the backgrounds of canon!Vic and HE!Vic are different, and their personalities are also different (there was no farm, factory, or dead woman, Vic just died at the end of Ava1 lol)

Something like that... thanks for reading to the end, I appreciate it!

I'm also curious about your headcanons for how these characters would behave in a romantic relationship :3
