dio brando cg headcanonsโญ๏ธ
i tried to make these as true to character as i could for him without reaching, so i had to really pull out his best qualities haha. this wasnโt as hard as i thought it would be, though dio IS one of my favorite characters of all time (i may or may not have projected onto him a little)
let me know if youโd like me to write for anything else! feel free to send in asks!
-he is incredibly protective over you, and consistently makes sure youโre safe, even though he pretends to not care (he doesnโt realize itโs so obvious he does)
-at first, dio.. doesnโt really know how to be affectionate, but over time it gets easier for him to show love
-he definitely cuddles you and softly sings to you in your sleep. sleepy time is the easiest time for him to show care
-despite having servants, dio is a very good cook, and prefers to cook for you to make it more special (and to get your attention. shh, you didnโt hear that from me.) even if you want something simple, he loves to show off and make it as intricate as possible, like using fancy pasta (bow tie, spiral) for mac and cheese, and garnishing it as well. (he doesnโt realize itโs silly to you, but you still appreciate his efforts too much to tell him that)
-dio adores when you color or make crafts for him, and heโs very proud to hang them up to be seen
-he loves telling you stories, whether it be about his life, or stories heโs made up. he loves it when you give him your full attention
-dio is generally a patient man and he doesnโt mind if you get bratty sometimes, but he has a skill in finding out whatโs making you act up. maybe youโre sleepy or hungry? heโll fix it quick
-as dio gets more comfortable with being your caregiver, he sometimes surprises you with how good of a caregiver he can actually be!
-humor doesnโt often come natural to him, but he will often attempt to tell you jokes while your regressed, though he usually cracks up at them more than you do
-when heโs more comfortable with being your caregiver, dio loves picking you up and carrying you with him as he does his daily habits
-the first time dio hears you call him dada/papa, he goes silent for a second. it immediately amplifies his protective nature over you. youโre nervous it made him uncomfortable, but he makes sure you know that itโs okay with him<3
-when heโs gotten used to it, he adores hugging you! every. chance. he. gets.
-he is always proud of you.
-he secretly finds taking care of you to be therapeutic, as he didnโt have a good childhood. he gets a lot of peace in giving you what he didnโt have
