Miscellaneous RDR2

Dutch

Dutch likes the idea of pet names but he was always the one to give his partners a pet name, Dutch never really had one.

He doesn't mean to be picky about what pet name you give him but he really is. If he could, Dutch would have no problem picking his own pet name. He wants it to hype him up, something like 'handsome' or 'your prince charming'

So if you call him something like 'dumpling' then Dutch is a lot less warm to it. "Dumpling?" he repeats, hoping that maybe he heard you wrong "do I really look like a dumpling to you?".

Micah

Micah's had a lot of nicknames in his life; Bastard, asshole, cowboy, the bane of my life and many more. But he's also likes to give other people nicknames. So when you gave him a loving pet name, Micah was stunned.

He loves giving you all different kinds of pet names that he knows you don't like just to rile you up. He gets a kick out of it when you pout about it. He always thinks you look extra cute when you do that.

If the two of you have an argument then afterwards he tries to use the pet name to his advantage. "C'mon," he says, coming up behind you "ya ain't gonna stay mad at your honey all night, are ya?".

John

John isn't used to any pet names, especially ones that're really lovey dovey. He notices that you've called him a pet name the second it leaves your mouth but he doesn't react to it.

He isn't sure if there's a way to react or if he needs to react to it. If you wanna call him by some other name then he's fine with that. After all John just wants you to be happy. Hell, you could call him Roger if it makes you happy.

One night when he's had a few beers to drink and you call him his pet name, John asks why you've chosen that one specifically. He isn't bothered by it, if anything he's just a little curious.

Javier

When you first referred to Javier by a pet name, he raised his eyebrows and asked you to repeat yourself. He sees this as a step in your relationship and one he's very proud of.

He loves having a pet name and doesn't care who hears it. In fact, the more people that hear it the better. Javier's actually a little smug about having a nickname.

If you give him a nickname in Spanish he finds that so goddamn cute. Even if you do it without knowing a lot of Spanish, it warms his heart that you've given him his own unique pet name and that you’re trying to communicate with him in his first language.

Bill

Bill scrunches his face up when you call him a pet name. "Huh?" is his first reaction. He's baffled, honoured, flustered and he gets that funny fluttery feeling in his chest that freaks him out sometimes

He wants to know exactly why you've picked that pet name, he doesn't care how common the nickname is, he just wants to know why you've chosen that one. Having a pet name makes him feel all loved ‘n special so you talking about it heightens this feeling for him.

Bill tries to give you a pet name but always ends up getting in his head about it and just calls you by your name before muttering a curse at himself for not thinking of one.

Sean

Sean can be a little iffy when it comes to pet names. Obviously he wants a good nickname and he even suggests some like 'apple of your eye' or 'the love of your life that you cherish every moment with'.

But if you give him something like ‘your leprechaun’ just cause he's Irish, he doesn't like it and he makes sure you know that he ain't a fan of it.

Oh and don't worry, Sean makes sure to give you a pet name back. He tries to think of something cringey like 'snookums' or 'cutie patootie'.

Hosea

Hosea didn't think he'd ever get another pet name so it's a little surprising when you call him a nickname you've come up with rather than just saying Hosea. But it's a welcome surprise and Hosea smiles immediately

He doesn't ever mention that you've started to call him by a pet name now. It's something he enjoys and doesn't think it's necessary to bring up.
