Dating Shadow Milk can range from fun and games to him sleeping on the couch for pushing your buttons a little too much.

He'll always whine about you not forgiving him right away, and will attempt to help you get over your anger by telling jokes and acting silly.

And... it always works. You love him and can't resist his antics for very long.

He's a cuddle bug. Loves cuddling you and holding you whenever he gets the chance.

Shadow Milk loves when you help with his performances and acts as his assistant.

Even though you are dating, Shadow Milk will still try to dazzle and impress you every chance he gets.

Will steal your snacks before you can eat them, but he'll always replace them before you can notice.

Is constantly coming up with, and calling you sweet nicknames. They can range from cute things he loves about you, to silly and weird, to incredibly embarrassing.

"Oh, my heart's desire~ Where are yoooouu~?"

Its both endearing but also embarrassing because Shadow Milk does not let up with the nicknames even when in public.

Loves dancing with you in the kitchen during the night when you're both still awake and making snacks at midnight.

He's a yapper, and genuinely enjoys having someone who listens to him weave stories.

When Shadow Milk confessed to you, you were originally hesitant to believe that his feelings were true, due to him being the Beast of Deceit and all. He is still a liar. But... it is really a lie if it becomes true in the end?

I feel like Shadow Milk would only confess romantic feelings for you because he wants to con something out of you or use you in some way. Or at least that's how it was in the beginning, and he accidentally falls head over heels for you throughout the process of his long-con.

He would try to push down these feelings and pretend they aren't there. He's only using you to get what he wants! But... he knows he's lying to himself.

And the Master of Deceit, who is so used to manipulating Cookies and getting into their heads now finds himself unable to get YOU out of his head.

It annoys him to no end. And for a little while he'll try to fight it, his "affectionate" act towards you will become over the top. It will be sickly sweet and tinged in bitterness. Because a part of him believes that your feelings towards him are also a lie.

Of course you don't trust him, why would you? So your feelings and this whole relationship must be a sham. It's hollow and empty.

Shadow Milk will use his shapeshifting abilities to "test" you. Transforming into a "concerned citizen", he will ask you about your relationship with himself.
