#abellute

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
