when abel first met lute he both hated her/thought she was mean yet also was attracted to her but he denied it
he very quickly developed a crush on her but didn’t act on it bc he had authority over her and didn’t want to seem weird
lute, on the other hand, wasn’t attracted to him at all until the moment in episode 8 where he put her in her place and then she was like oh. why am i feeling things
she’s definitely into being degraded
and then she sort of had an internal battle of. do i actually like abel for abel or am i just mourning adam
when she eventually realizes she does genuinely like him they’re very cute together but it takes her a while to get there
he fell first but she fell harder type beat
she’s just not good at expressing her feelings
abel loves to make little gifts for lute and grand romantic gestures. lute loves abel more quietly but still makes sure he feels loved
lute isn’t really into pda but abel very much is and she reluctantly indulges him
like he will kiss her like every five seconds when they’re in public and she will be pissy about it but also will not stop him
she also reluctantly indulges his cheesier interests like letting him drag her to the marshmallow discotheque
she’s sat through that damn christmas movie so many times that she can quote it word for word and she hates it
she secretly loves it despite herself but she’ll never tell abel that (he can tell. he just lets her think he doesn’t know)
also him putting on music she finds really cheesy and later catching her singing along to it
he calls her pet names and she’s grumpy about it but secretly finds it cute
they’re so grumpy sunshine, so golden retriever bf x black cat gf
in private however she’s actually very affectionate once she’s warmed up to him and come to terms with her feelings
also these two are FREAKS in bed
he’s very protective and possessive over her and while she doesn’t mind the possessive aspect his protectiveness clashes with her independent, headstrong nature. she appreciates that he cares about her but she doesn’t like feeling like someone who has to be protected, it makes her feel weak
however she will admit it’s nice to be cared about in that way since no one ever has before
and like he knows damn well she can take care of herself but he’s never had someone to protect like that before and now compulsively feels like he has to
abel has pentious built lute a rage room and encourages her to let out her anger in a more healthy manner than killing sinners
whenever abel has his moments of feeling like he’s not good enough or not living up to his dad’s legacy, lute will reassure him that he’s good enough and that he doesn’t need to be like his dad
the first time she did that is when she realized she was truly over adam and fully in love with abel
he definitely lets her do his makeup and paint his nails. he finds it fun and always pulls it off so well
she loves his singing. abel will be singing in the shower and lute’s listening from the next room like it’s a free concert
he sings to her whenever he needs to get her to calm down and it always works
