Sam: You were flirting with me?

For those of you who weren’t on the official Redacted Records Discord server in the beginning™, the recipe Davey teaches Angel is real. Erik posted it to the recipes channel (which has long since been archived and is no longer available). I’ve had it saved all these years and impart this knowledge unto you now.

David: CEO and unwitting founder

Milo: President

Aaron: Vice President

Sam: Chief Marketing Officer

Gavin: Secretary

Damien: Treasurer

Davey - You value a lot of things in a man: the most important being his ability to snap you in half.

Asher - You are the annoying younger sibling who is completely aware of exactly how much they can get away with via years of experience.

Milo - When people ask you what your hobbies are you say “reading” but the silent part of that answer is “fanfiction”

Vincent - I could go on for hours about all the parasocial relationships you’ve had in your life.

Sam - You’re rapidly running out of things other than yourself to blame for your problems, and honestly, it’s just a cry for help at this point.

Lasko - The people in your life have learned not to use the turn of phrase, “What’s the worst that could happen?” Because you will immediately launch into a 20 minute PowerPoint presentation with cited sources on exactly everything that could possibly go wrong.

Damien - Your parents were PTA terrorists. They were planning your bid for student council president while you were still in the womb.

Hux - For the people who think other people are always flirting with them or buttering them up, but they’re honestly just being nice and you never really learned how appropriately reciprocate that because life has taught you that everyone is always after something.

Gavin - God gave you depression and anxiety because if he didn’t, you’d be competing for his job

Avior - You’re either a burned out “gifted kid” or you only just got diagnosed with ADHD in your mid 20s. No in between.

Vega - Dear god do you love to be stepped on

Blake - You can not fix him. YOU CAN NOT FIX HIM.

Elliott - The ultimate fantasy of every demi-sexual out there.

Aaron - Depends: if you’re a straight woman, this is just everyone’s daddy fantasy. Otherwise, you’re a white gay guy. Only they would see a 1-to-1 recreation of their bully and go, “That is my husband.”

Ivan - I’m not saying you’re scary when you’re mad, I’m just saying the Venn diagram of people who have crossed you and the people you never hear from again is a circle

James - Admit it, you find degradation just a little bit hot. Just give in and go for it, it’ll be cathartic, trust me.

Anton - Literally that meme of “Thank you for changing my life.” “I’m literally a white man from Arizona mumbling and mouth-breathing into a mic.”

Geordi - “Patience of a saint” and “persistence of a rock” do not even begin to describe you. We have had nothing but radio silence from this man for 7 months.

Regulus - You just want someone to end your existence without actually killing you and honestly, valid take.

Guy - Your insecurities might scream at every person you meet, but not if you scream louder

Ollie - Your life moves from one disaster to the next and you are desperate for a shred of stability, which is probably why you’re listening to boyfriend role-play.

• For all the grief he gives Angel for it, David does keep a single pack of instant ramen on standby in a location he refuses to disclose. He’ll dress it up a bit with a soft boiled egg, some frozen veggies, tofu, leftover meat, whatever he can find.

• Asher isn’t much of a cook, but if Baaabe is hungry in the middle of the night he loves to make some Nutella on toast.

• Milo doesn’t like waking up in the middle of the night as he’s super groggy, but if he and Sweetheart are hungry he’ll throw together some yogurt, berries, and granola before flopping back down.

• Vincent and Lovely don’t need sleep or human food anymore, but occasionally they both get a hankering for a midnight McDonald’s run. They always get it to go and eat outside.

• Sam constantly has to deal with Darlin’ rummaging through the pantry in the middle of the night like a damn raccoon. He won’t let them gorge themselves on chips, instead making them a packet of instant oatmeal before dragging their nocturnal ass back to bed.

• Gavin will never say no to a late-night 7/11 run, though in the interest of keeping Freelancer alive during the day, he’ll rift there himself and come back with whatever snacks they want (provided they’re not too caffeine/sugar laced).

• Avior loves cuddling Starlight throughout the night, content to stay awake and watch them sleep. If they wake up hungry, he’ll magic up some scrambled eggs on toast before cuddling them back down and using just the tiniest bit of dreamwalking magic to help them get back to sleep.

• Lasko tries to make sure he’s not hungry before bed but if he or his partner wake up hungry he’ll make a big mug of hot chocolate (or chocolate milk).

• Hux has a seemingly bottomless supply of granola bars that he keeps for snacks. He keeps a box in his nightstand as well, “Just in case.”

• Damien has a horrific habit of making a protein shake if he’s hungry in the middle of the night. Hux is trying to help him break it.

• Ollie has an undying love for leftover midnight pizza. He swears up and down midnight pizza hits different in a Michelin star way; Babe is convinced it’s the sleep deprived delirium talking.

• Aaron hates getting woken up by Smartass in the middle of the night so they go ninja-mode lifting themselves off his chest. They’ll usually just munch on some dry cereal right out the box before heading back to bed. Aaron secretly does the same thing and has yet to be caught drinking milk straight from the carton.

• Ivan likes having chai and cookies if he and Baby are hungry in the middle of the night. He’s a firm believer that warm drinks and cuddles make a happy, sleepy Baby.

• Elliott is that bitch who makes an entire box poptarts at 1AM. He’s not sorry and he is sharing.

• James likes to have apples and peanut butter for a late night snack. He tries not to eat anything too heavy that’ll slow him down in the morning.

• Anton loves some warm pumpkin soup for a midnight snack. It’s always homemade and he always keeps a little on standby just in case his partner needs it.

Avior - Aster I've actually had this one for years. This fall-blooming herb with daisy-like flowers stands for wisdom, faith, and valour. Named after the Greek word for "Star" due to its blooms resembling a star. The Aster flower blooms in pink, red, white, lilac, and mauve. This flower became a symbol of love when in Greek mythology it was placed on the altars for the gods. So now, when you send a bouquet featuring this vibrant bloom, the message of "take care of yourself for me" is implied. It conveys deep emotional love and affection for someone.

Vega - Lavender You'd think this one would be for Cam, but while Lavender is known to have calming effects, signifying peace, it also represents distrust as the asp that killed Cleopatra hid in a lavender field. I thought that was fitting given the seeming "two sides of the coin" we see in Vega being both caring towards Pet in the Imperium and his ruthlessness in his campaign against the Sovereigns.

Cam - Cosmos Peace Lily was too on-the-nose and too clean to be Cam's flower. While Peace Lilies only represent pure, uncontested peace; Cosmos not only represent peace, but also order, stability, and balance. Cosmos comes from the Greek word "Kosmos", which means "balanced world". Cam is still very much figuring himself out. He doesn't always make the right decisions or have all the answers, but he's trying. He's not quite adding something as black and white as "good" or "light" into the world to eclipse the bad, but he's doing his best to bring some peace and perspective to those who need it; to help them find balance in their own worlds.

Caelum - Daisy Daises are ambassadors of springtime, thus are linked to new life and renewal. Dasies represent new beginnings, cheerfulness, hope, purity, innocence, joy, loyalty, and love. Their petals close around their sunny yellow centre at night and open up in the morning.

Ollie - False Indigo Giving the most normal of normal guys a flower known for its use in witchcraft because I can lol. False Indigo is heavily associated with protection and healing. In witchcraft, it is used in protective spells and amulets while in ancient medicine, it was used against all manner of infections from topical to internal. False Indigo is also an important plant to butterflies and other pollinators in the ecosystem, providing them with food and shelter.

Aaron - Protea These imposing, scale-like flowers (also known as Sugarbushes) rely on fire to spread their seeds. They are commonly seen sprouting up shortly after forest fires, their colourful blooms in stark contrast to a blanket of ash. These flowers don't just survive in harsh conditions, they thrive in them. Native to South Africa and popular in Australia, these bold-looking blooms represent strength, resilience, and the power to survive anything. Burgundy Protea flowers in particular represent luxury, success, career growth, maturity, wisdom, and devotion.

Davey - Honeysuckle The canon choice. His mom’s honeysuckle are a core memory for him. They mean “devoted affection” for the person you love. In addition, honeysuckle flowers are commonly planted near the home to evoke feelings of nostalgia and honor those who have gone before you, and draw happiness and positive energy into your life.

Ash - Daffodil Sunflower is a little too big for Asher’s character. Daffodils are smaller, but no less energetic with their bright orange and yellow colours. They symbolize hope, joy, good luck, and new beginnings. Daffodils are the March birth flower and are associated with the coming of spring, thus optimism, positivity, and vibrancy.

Milo - Rose I toyed with the idea of something more representative of self-sacrifice like poppies but they didn’t feel like they represented Milo’s entire character, that’s just one tiny facet of him. I went with rose because that’s absolutely how Casanova sees himself. Deep red roses in particular represent not only love and passion, but also deeply held commitment to a romantic partner.

Sam - Blue Hydrangea Blue hydrangeas specifically symbolize feelings of remorse and apologies. I thought that was fitting given Sam’s role in Frederick’s turning having not been paying attention that night. But they also signify feelings of deep understanding, gratitude, and sincere emotion which he’s found in Darlin’ in that they both have similar backgrounds of abusive partners and understand one another deeply on that level.

Vincent - Rain Lily These tiny, delicate flowers only bloom in the rain. Contrary to what one might expect, they can also survive periods of drought, though they won’t bloom until it rains. They represent the cycle of life, death, and rebirth: they bloom, die, then come back with the rain. They also remind us that even in a storm, growth is possible.

Gavin - Iris In Greek, the word Iris means Rainbow. This has come to represent diversity, acceptance, tolerance, and inclusivity in modern times. Traditionally, the Iris also represents courage and faith.

Damien - Ixora A lesser known tropical flower with many tiny red flowers making a larger head, these flowers hold a meaning of burning passion (and that includes the bedroom). They’re also known as “the flame of the woods”.

Hux - Sunflower Tall and huge, these well-known flowers not only represent happiness, but red sunflowers specifically represent strength and positivity. Sunflowers are known to always look at the sun as it crosses the sky throughout the day.

• Aaron has a really hard time falling asleep cuddling his partner. He’s yet to figure out the intricoes of not waking up to stiff limbs and pins and needles. But if it’s something his partner really wants, he’s willing to give it a shot.

• Aaron cherishes the weekend. He doesn’t want to waste a single second he doesn’t have to be in the office. So, instead of sleeping in, Aaron is actually an early riser on the weekends. He makes an effort to wake up and go to bed at the same time every day so it’s easier for him to get up on time for work during the weekdays.

• That being said, Aaron doesn’t really plan his weekends out with specific goals, the most he’ll do is have a vague idea of things he wants to do but no timeline or multi-step program in place to accomplish them. (This is barring errands and other important responsibilities.) On weekends, Aaron is content to just have a few general goals he wants to accomplish but doesn’t stress about timelines.

• On weekdays, Aaron usually has to wake up pretty early as his house isn’t close to his work building and unfortunately, rush hour traffic is brutal. Aaron will be very careful and gentle in disentangling himself from his partner and give them a kiss on the forehead before getting up to get dressed and ready. He’ll come back to give them one more kiss before he leaves.

• Pretending to be asleep for this will result in Aaron snorting “I know you’re awake you shit. Now kiss me properly.” resulting in a make out session before he leaves for the day. Aaron will sit on the edge of the bed, in his button-down shirt and work attire, and push his SO (who is still in their PJs) down into the pillows as he kisses them. When he does leave, he’ll tease them for pouting (whether they actually are or not) just to get a rise out of them.

• Aaron is almost always exhausted when he gets in from work. He’ll usually just flop down on the couch and, before he started living with Smartass, it was routine for him to just order in food rather than make his own. As a result, Aaron’s diet was historically…not exactly healthy. He’s trying to change that but cultivating his culinary skills has been slow going. One of the quickest ways to Aaron’s heart is to cook him dinner (but goddamn if he’ll ever admit that).

• Aaron usually wears a t-shirt in the warmer months or a long-sleeved sweatshirt in the cooler months (both from his university, both very overpriced for what he now uses them for) along with boxers to bed.

• Aaron snores like a dump truck. Please don’t bring it up, he’s really self-conscious about it; his brother used to give him shit for it growing up.

• If Aaron has a nightmare, he can usually wake up on his own. He doesn’t remember them and he’s really uncomfortable discussing them. He’ll usually gently disentangle himself from Smartass and grab a glass of water from the kitchen to reset himself before coming back to bed. He finds comfort in feeling his partner’s weight against him so the best thing his partner can do is silently cuddle him while he falls back asleep.

• If Aaron’s partner has a nightmare, he’ll shake them awake and make sure they’re ok, but beyond that, not really know what to do. He’ll listen to them talk about their nightmare if they want, but not really trust his own ability to offer words of comfort. Aaron will just hold his partner and try to do what he can for them. He’ll often end up rambling about something to help take their mind off of the nightmare and help them sleep.

• Aaron won’t wake his partner up in the mornings if it can be helped, preferring to let them get their rest. To a point. If they do need to be woken up he’ll gently rub their arm or back followed by some soft kisses.

• When Hux wakes up in the morning the first thing he does is stretch because he big and bed smol and he has to curl up to fit on it.

• Hux is an early riser just naturally. He’s one of the lucky few who doesn’t have to set an alarm to wake up in the mornings.

• Hux takes a long time to fall asleep, once he does though, he sleeps soundly until morning.

• Hux’s favourite cuddle position is to lay on his back with his partner laying on his chest. He likes to lazily trace his fingertips up and down their spine as they drift to sleep.

• Hux loves feeling his partner breathing against him, he’ll match his breathing to theirs to help slow himself down and get to sleep.

• Hux usually wears an old t-shirt (hoodie in the colder months) and shorts (PJ pants in the colder months) to bed.

• Being as tall as he is, Hux's feet usually hang off the end of his bed. He never considered getting a throw blanket for the end of the bed to keep his feet warm in the cooler months. When his partner suggests it, he gushes about how big brained they are for the idea.

• Hux has always had a nighttime tradition of having a glass of chocolate milk before bed. His moms used to always give him one before bed as a kid and he’s continued that tradition now that he’s living away from home as a way to still remain connected to his family.

• Hux talks in his sleep and you can actually have a full-blown conversation with him which he will not remember in the morning.

• If Hux’s partner gives him a gentle kiss while he’s asleep, he’ll unconsciously smile a little.

• Hux very rarely has nightmares but when he does, he needs to get up and walk around to clear his head. He’ll get up and get a glass of water from the kitchen to cool off. If it’s warmer outside, he’ll open the window for some fresh air too. After about 20 minutes, he’s usually ready to go back to bed.

• If his partner had a nightmare, Hux will gently shake them to wake them up. He’ll then sit up and pull them into his lap and rock them and hum while he rubs their back. It’s what his mothers always did for him when he was a kid.

• Damien is the best cuddle partner in winter and none of y’all can change my mind. For starters, he’s a Fire Elemental. He runs hotter than all of the other bois and can also change his temperature output.This means cuddling up to him is like cuddling up to a giant hot water bottle. Additionally, we have it canon that Fire Elementals prefer warmer climates (they don’t like the cold), so Damien in the winter months is an absolute cuddle-bug, constantly wrapped around his partner like a koala because “it’s freezing and you’re warm, shut up already.”

• Due to his fire elemental nature, Damien goes to bed in just his boxer briefs. He can heat the bed to his ideal temperature and PJ pants “just get bunched up and tangled around my legs.”

• If it’s cold, Damien will go to the bed for a few minutes before he and his partner settle in for the night and crank up his temperature output for a bit to make the bed warm for them. This gives the bedsheets that glorious “fresh from the tumble dryer” feeling.

• Damien keeps a water canteen on his bedside table as he frequently gets thirsty throughout the night.

• Damien says his favourite cuddle position is big spoon and in the winter months he basically lays on top of his partner. However, he has a secret love of being the little spoon that he refuses to admit to anyone.

• Get comfy because you are not getting out of Damien’s grip unless and until he wakes up. If his partner does try to leave, Damien will unconsciously tighten his arms around them. Bringing this up is the fastest way to make Damien’s cheeks go pink.

• If you do really need to get up in the middle of the night, this’ll necessitate actually waking Damien up, which is a tall order as he is a heavy sleeper and very grumpy once this is accomplished.

• Damien will unconsciously nuzzle his partner in his sleep.

• Damien also breathes very deeply while he’s asleep. The air he exhales is very warm and feels wonderful on the back of one’s neck.

• If his partner has a nightmare, their sounds and movements will cause Damien to unconsciously hold them tighter. If Damien does wake up, he’ll wake them up immediately but not really be sure of what to do to comfort them. He usually adopts letting them nuzzle into his chest and gently kissing them while they fall back to sleep.

• If Damien has a nightmare you. will. know. As he’s not consciously controlling his temperature output, the stress and fear makes him go into overdrive. A sauna has nothing on Damien during a nightmare. He’ll kick and toss and turn as well. His partner will need to be quite forceful in waking him up, and once he does, Damien generally needs a minute before he’s ok with being touched. As the temperature in the apartment is baking, Damien and his partner both look like they’ve climbed out of a swimming pool and the bedsheets are soaked. Damien and his partner will change the bed together, (the methodical task being somewhat calming for Damien) and open the window while they take a quick, cool shower together before getting back into bed. Damien generally does not like talking about his nightmares, preferring to just hold his partner and let their presence calm him.

• Damien generally wakes up first in the morning, but will close his eyes and pretend to sleep a bit longer to get some more cuddles in.

• Damien’s favourite way to wake his partner up is to brush their hair back and kiss their forehead.

• On the odd occasion Damien needs to be woken up, he loves the sensation of his partner rubbing his arm, side, back, or chest as they call his name.

• Lasko follows the “no electronics an hour before bed” rule, he’ll only drink water after 7pm, and he also forces himself to be in bed no later than 11pm every night.

• Lasko really enjoys listening to acoustic music before bed. He’ll play it quietly from his Bluetooth speaker as he gets ready for bed and settles down.

• Lasko also really enjoys reading fantasy novels before bed. He’ll huddle under the blankets (with a hot water bottle in the colder months) and read a few chapters. If his partner is with him, they’ll lay their head on his chest and he’ll read them to sleep. He has an absolutely beautiful and calming reading voice.

• A lot of times, his partner will fall asleep against him as he’s reading. When he notices, he’ll bookmark his page and spend a few minutes watching them sleep, gently stroking their hair and tracing the lines of their face.

• Lasko wears oversized t-shirts and shorts to bed that make him look tiny by comparison.

• Lasko’s favourite cuddle position is a 50/50 split between having his partner rest their head on his chest and him resting his head on his partner’s chest.

• Lasko mumbles in his sleep, but only a tiny baby bit.

• Lasko will occasionally wake up on the weekends and panic because he thinks he’s going to be late for work. His partner has to remind him what day it is and he’ll slump back down in relief. Before he met his partner, Lasko had absolutely shown up to DAMN at 8am on the weekend by accident.

• Being as busy as he is at DAMN, Lasko tends to worry a lot and feel the need to always be ‘on’ even during the weekends. His partner needs to do some light convincing to keep him in bed in on weekend mornings, but he’s very grateful to them for doing so.

• If Lasko is going through a stressful period, he’ll grind his teeth during the night.

• If his partner has a nightmare, Lasko will gently say their name until they wake up. Once he’s sure they’re ok, he’ll hold them and guide them through resonant breathing exercises, a technique he learnt in his first year at DAMN from an old friend.

• Lakso doesn’t have nightmares often, but when he does, they’re enough that he startles himself awake. He’ll be shaking and breathing hard and it will always wake up his partner, which he’ll apologize for. His partner will pull him back down to their chest and tuck his head under their chin and hum while they rub his back. Lasko will practice his resonant breathing while taking in the vibrations of his partner’s voice. After about 10 minutes, Lasko is usually ready to fall back to sleep.

• Ash isn't much of a morning person, though he's nowhere near as bad as Milo. He's the kind of person who has to set an early alarm (on weekdays) to trick his body into thinking he's got "5 more minutes" it's actually 20 but details

• Ash sets his alarm early for another reason, to get some morning cuddles in with Babe. Ash's two favourite things in the world are falling asleep holding Babe and waking up next to Babe so if he can squeeze that in twice in one day, he considers that a win.

• Ash's favourite cuddle position is to have his head resting on Babe's chest while he traces circles on their stomach. He'll loop his ankle around theirs as well.

• Ash will move a little during the night but will never let go of his partner.

• Ash is somewhat of a light sleeper, though nowhere near as light as Davey.

•Ash always sleeps with his mouth open. It is simultaneously hilarious and endearing.

• Ash somewhat rarely has nightmares and when he does, they really freak him out. He also vividly remembers them, the worst being him lost in a dark maze, alone. When he wakes up, it’s in a cold sweat. He'll cuddle Babe as much as he thinks he safely can without waking them up.

• Most times Babe does wake up though because Asher is a sleep-talker. It's absolute nonsense but Babe does their best to rub his back and hope it passes. If Ash does wake up, Babe keeps rubbing his back and gives him forehead kisses until he falls back to sleep.

• Ash usually sleeps in PJ shorts. He'll wear a t-shirt in colder months.

• If Babe has a nightmare, Asher always wakes up and cuddles them, making sure they have everything they need (cuddles, kisses, words of comfort, a glass of water, etc). He refuses to go back to sleep until he's sure Babe has been asleep for a good long while.

• Sam sets aside at least an hour of free time before bed to unwind. He usually uses this time to catch up on his favourite TV shows.

• Sam isn’t usually one for verbalizing affection, preferring to let his actions do the talking.

• Sam is a coffee connoisseur, very particular about beans and roasts and all that. As a Healer who worked long and odd hours, caffeine was a necessity. Even though it offers no sustenance and the caffeine no longer works, he still always starts the day/night with his morning/evening coffee. He finds comfort in a familiar routine from his Freelancer days. He prefers black, straight, and the darkest roast possible. No milk or anything, though he can appreciate differences in taste preference. Just do not refer to Starbucks as "coffee" in front of him.

• This means Sam can make his partner the best cup of coffee ever in the mornings, one that would give any professional barista a run for their money.

• Since he and his partner are on different sleep schedules (nocturnal Vamp remember), Sam’s morning routine is to always spend a good amount of time making the perfect cup of coffee for himself and his partner.

• He’ll then go to their room and gently wake them up, usually by stroking their hair or arm, gently shaking them if need be. The two of them will then drink their coffee in bed and talk for a bit. Sam about any goings on with the Clan, and Darlin’ about their plans for the day.

• He’ll also make them breakfast and continue making conversation. He’s genuinely interested in his partner and their interests and wants to know as much about them as he can. He’ll head to bed only once they’re out the door.

• Sam will set an alarm to wake himself up before they come home and make dinner for them. Noticing a pattern here? Sam didn’t just fall into being a Healer or chose the profession on a whim. He truly finds his spark in taking care of others.

• Sam will hold off as long as he can before leaving for the night. He’ll sit by his partner’s bed and, while he’ll talk if they want, he’s equally as happy to just sit in comfortable silence until they fall asleep.

• Sam really doesn’t like “lovey-dovey” shit but goddamn does he love cuddles. He’ll never say no to his partners head on his chest.

• Sam sleeps shirtless and in his boxers. He can’t stand the feeling of pants getting tangled around his legs in bed.

• If his partner has a nightmare, Sam will wake them up gently and ask if they want to talk about it. Whether they want to talk about it or not, he’ll stay up as long as his partner needs without complaint.

• Sam can’t remember the last time he had a nightmare, though this is because he doesn’t remember any dreams he has. On the “once in a blue moon” occasion Sam does have a nightmare, he’s very good about keeping calm about it. He won’t disturb his partner, instead recalling small details about them (like the way they play with their hair) or a recent conversation so he can hear their voice in their head. Sam only needs 10 minutes before he’s ready to go back to bed.

• Gavin sleeps fully clothed. Absolutely, unequivocally, incontrovertibly. wink-wink

• That being said, one of Gavin’s favourite things is to see his partner wearing his clothes. Call it basal or patriarchal or whatever, but Gavin loves the knowledge that his partner is his. He also loves when he gets it back and it smells of them.

• He also really enjoys getting ready for bed together with his partner. Brushing their teeth together, washing their faces together, showering together

• Gavin’s favourite cuddle position is whatever you want it to be. No, seriously. The man just wants some cuddles. In any capacity. Just give him cuddles, any cuddles, he will take them.

• Gavin also loves having his hair played with, he finds it really cute.

• Another thing Gavin really enjoys: having his fingers played with. Am I head-cannoning that a freakin’ incubus is touch starved? Absolutely I am. He treasures every second.

• Gavin also loves giving and receiving light touches. He or his partner tracing patterns on the different parts of their body. Lightly tracing circles on their hips, arms, back, etc. Barely touching, almost a little ticklish.

• Gavin has become something of an expert in conveying love through touch. His hand weaving through his partner’s hair, rubbing their back, rubbing his partner’s hand with his thumb while he holds them, you can absolutely feel the endless love he has with every touch.

• When he and his partner settle in for the night, Gavin spends some time kissing them, touching them, and holding them. Trying to convey the best he can through actions just how much they mean to him and how grateful he is to have them.

• Gavin tends to run quite hot. This can especially be felt through his lips.

• If his partner is coming home late, Gavin makes a point to lay on their side of the bed so it’s warm for them when they get in.

• If his partner has a nightmare, Gavin will gently wake them up, reassuring them and, once he has permission, will pull them onto his chest, stroking their hair with one hand and rubbing their back with the other while placing soft kisses on their forehead. At times like these, Gavin prefers to let his actions do the talking. He’ll also stay awake for a while after they fall back to sleep to make sure they’re ok.

• If Gavin has a nightmare, he can hide it extremely well. His nightmares aren’t so much as upsetting as they are disorienting. Gavin will hold his partner closer, burying his face in their neck and using touch to ground himself. Gavin isn’t comfortable discussing his nightmares so it’s usually best not to pry. The best way to comfort Gavin after a nightmare is just to silently cuddle him and give soft kisses. Gavin generally needs a long time, sometimes almost an hour, before he’s ready to go back to sleep. If his partner falls back to sleep before him, Gavin still finds comfort in holding them and watching them sleep.

• Davey is the lightest sleeper out of all the wolf bois. Even Angel moving in their sleep is enough to wake him up and he always makes sure they’re alright before going back to sleep.

• The flip side of this is that Davey falls asleep the fastest amongst the wolf bois. Once his head hits the pillow, he’s asleep in under 10 minutes.

• There is an exception to this however: if Angel isn’t in bed cuddling with him, Davey has trouble falling asleep. If they’re working late, Davey will give them an hour or so before shutting their laptop himself and physically dragging them to bed. Davey has the hardest time falling asleep and is the least rested when Angel is away on a business trip.

• Davey never wears a shirt to bed because he knows Angel loves burying their face in his chest. He also loves the feeling of skin on skin. He wears PJ pants to bed in the colder months and just his boxer briefs in the summer.

• Davey’s favourite cuddle position is big spoon with as much physical contact with Angel as possible. Arms wrapped around them, chest pressed to their back, and legs tangled together.

• Davey sleeps like a log. He doesn’t really move much during the night, doesn’t snore or talk in his sleep, though he breathes very deeply through his chest and resting your head on it while he’s sleeping gives a comforting feeling of being rocked.

• Davey doesn’t mind the cooler months because he has Angel’s “furnace of a body” he can snuggle up to, but he suffers so badly when summer is at its height because Davey can not deal with being hot in bed even though he absolutely can in the other context. It should be noted that this in no way impedes his ability to cuddle Angel, he’ll be damned if he gives that up.

• Davey makes a point of always going to bed and waking up at the same time every day, even if it’s the weekend. He tries to hold Angel to this as well, though he’ll make exceptions occasionally. (See Sleepy Morning Cuddles With Your Tsundere Werewolf Boyfriend)

• Davey always wakes up before Angel and loves watching them sleep before getting up.

• If Angel has a nightmare, Davey wakes up immediately and will gently pull them to his chest. He’ll then whisper to them and try to softly wake them up so it’s not too jarring for them. Davey will then talk to them while rubbing their back and cuddling them until they fall back asleep.

• Davey very rarely has nightmares but when he does, they’re extremely frightening. He forgets them as soon as he wakes up, but he’ll be covered in sweat necessitating a quick wash and a change of clothes.
