ok so like before I write about my Victor x Matthew fic, here are some head cannons I have in general that sometimes might be mentioned throughout them fics. There’s also going to be like 2 parts bc ima say like my 20 soft head cannons here and then my smut wise ones in the next.
1. The two are like absolute cuddle people. But Matthew is the more cuddly one like just look at the guy??
2. Victor’s love language is words of affirmation while Matthew’s is physical touch. But they lowkey fit all the love languages.
3. Matthew really likes having his hair played with/washed. Like after a long day, Victor will just help wash his hair or play with it while they watch hockey highlights.
4. Victor is a light sleeper since he had siblings and all while Matthew is more deep sleeper.
5. Victor calls Matthew Swedish endearments and speaks to him in Swedish sometimes.
6. They have each other’s as emergency contacts.
7. When they first started dating, Victor had been forced to get given the ‘dad-son’ talk by Barzal bc I live for the Schaefer-Barzal father son duo.
8. Victor is the better one at cooking.
9. One time when they’d gone out to a diner for a date, a guy was staring at them and basically hate crimes them for being gay. Like calling Matthew the f-slur and Victor got very flamed that he fought the guy, and then they left the diner as Victor had bloodied knuckles.(lowkey giving that one buddie bar scene from 911??)
10. They’re both very protective of each other but Victor is the more protective one.
11. They’re both horrifically bad liars.
12. Since Matthew learned how to braid the Martin’s daughter’s hair as he used to live with them, he’ll sometimes just braid the ends of victor’s hair for fun while watching movies.
13. Victor is always watching/staring at Matthew when he thinks the other isn’t looking and even when Matthew is, he still doesn’t move his gaze away.
14. Literally would do anything for each other.
15. Worry wise, matthew worries about Victor when the Swedish rookie keeps staying up so late that he worries Victor isn’t getting enough sleep.(it’s cuz he’s either watching Matthew or he just can’t sleep). While for Victor, he worries about Matthew when the other rookie plays like 25 minutes per game since he worries that the other is working too hard. (like that one time Matthew deadahh played against Chicago for like 32 minutes.😭)
16. Matthew learned some Swedish phrases since Victor spoke to him a lot in Swedish and he always wanted to know what they meant.(also literally how they get together by..)
17. They’re both tea guys.
18. They’re both girl dads.(like didn’t you see how Matthew treated Matt martin’s daughters??)
19. On the anniversary of Matthew’s mom, it was the first time Victor had experienced anything like this and he didn’t know much of how to comfort Matthew really, and his first thought was to adopt a dog. So when Matthew was in their apartment and was feeling down, Victor just comes home with a fricking puppy bc he didn’t know how else to cheer his boyfriend up and also bc he knows Matthew always wanted a golden retriever.
20. Matthew used to fidget a lot like his knee bounced up and down while his finger tapped against his thigh, and Victor would still him with his hand.
+bonus: uh also the fact that Matthew has like very weird food cravings. Like have you guys seen when he said bacon wrapped Oreos?? Head cannon that he basically has the cravings of a pregnant woman without actually being pregnant loll(lowkey one of my fic ideas..🤫)
lemme know your thoughts! I’ve been sick since yesterday so I’m just doing these cuz I’m really bored lolll😭 also Ima just call them shaelund like credits to @thatonereallyconfusedbitch bc victhew sounded like a sneeze tbh😭 I’ll call them both just to be like that. but ima do like the smutty head cannons next!
