David has the best posture out of everyone in the pack. His back is constantly straight, even hunched over a desk with a pile of paperwork. Whether he’s stressed or relaxed. He doesn’t slouch.

His hair is also the fluffiest

Shifters have more control over their hair, like a wolf would with its fur. So when they are in trouble or having a one on one discussion with David their hair tends to flatten.

And it gets more voluminous when they’re relaxed, which leads to a lot of them getting glorious bed head even if they don’t move around a lot

In the right context shifters will take continuous eye contact to mean that you want to fight with them.

Often if the shifter couples have squabbles the shifter will begin to refuse eye contact as a sign they don’t want to argue anymore.

Kisses are also used amongst shifters in these situations, to diffuse tension and communicate their wish to de-escalate the situation.

which was can be very confusing to non-shifters in the beginning of their relationship. Talk about mixed signals. /hj

The shifters don’t tend to lay down unless completely secure with those around them

The wolves also have a large set of different facial expressions used to communicate, similar to humans but much subtler. The mates have gotten good at reading these but it is very confusing at first, when one facial expression can mean two completely different things.

If a baby is brought into the pack, everybody takes care of it and the parents. Not quite so hands on as if they were actual wolves but they all bring round food etc

Wolves ‘bow’ when wishing to play. So if your shifter mate starts leaning down low on their desk or countertops or the edge of the couch, they’re probably planning to tackle you.

When they get excited, they all kind of shout over each other instinctively, like a howl. It often gets very loud when this happens but it’s rare in their non-shifted form as they know other ways to express their shared enthusiasm.

They DO NOT like it if someone else wears a strong cologne/ perfume in their house. Not just because their senses are heightened but because their homes should smell predominantly of them. It’s their territory.

They bare teeth as a warning.

Some of the shifters do some things more than others, for Darlin’, traditional kissing and eye contact rules are very instinctive for them whereas for Milo it’s his posture amongst different members of the pack.

Whenever Darlin sits on his lap Sam rocks their hips back and forth, pretty much subconsciously at this point

If they’re sat the other way his hands still always lay on his hips/thighs

Darlin is very very good at special awareness, this makes them very good at parking.

They are also somewhat clumsy at the same time, they don’t bump into things or people but will trip over their own feet.

Sam likes it cause it means he can catch them. Sometimes he watches them just to see if there is gonna be an opportunity for it.

Sam puts his clothes in the dryer before wearing them sometimes when Darlin’s away.

Neither of their handwriting is very legible. Sam’s in more of cursive way. Darlin in a ‘those aren’t even words’ way

Sam does in fact keep a photo of Darlin’ in his wallet

His wallet is falling apart, he does not want a new one.

Darlin doesn’t own one, they keep things in their pockets and constantly accidentally wash their change.

Darlin’s work out playlist is full of pure garbage. It’s just a mess, you could play it at a rave and some people would still leave.

They really like blackbird by the Beatles though

Sometimes they both just sit in the couch watching old music videos/performances on YouTube together
