The way you’d just stop and stare at the paintings, a small smile on your face, an unreadable look in your eyes

He’d fall for you even harder

He couldn’t even believe that you actually agreed to go out with him that day, since he was never good at expressing himself and worried that maybe he hadn’t properly gotten his feelings across

But you’re there with him, and suddenly he doesn’t have any complaints about how “boring” looking at the paintings were because it’s never boring when it’s with you

Cliche but,,,he’d only have eyes for you the whole time, he’d glance maybe once or twice at the artwork but that’s it lol

When you explain something to him about the painting, he’d be humming and nodding in agreement, but really he’s too focused on the way your lips move or how you’d clasp your hands in excitement while telling him all about it

He can’t believe how precious you are – and he finds it even more admirable that you’re able to connect with art pieces in a deeper, different level

HE WANTS TO HOLD YOUR HAND SO BAD

But you keep running away or dashing to a piece that you’d been dying to see

He’d stretch his hand out to reach you but you’d move before he can do anything, so he’ll play it cool by pretending to brush his hair or something

When you go, “What’s wrong?” after seeing his flushed face, he’d be like

“Oh, nothing. You were saying?”

You’d shrug it off and just light up all over again, but cmon, HAVE MERCY FOR THIS PRECIOUS BOY

You guys reach the department or hall with more solemn artefacts (maybe something about the war or just gruesome or melancholic messages) and he’s astounded by how you pay respect to those dark times

Porco would inch closer to you, finally getting the courage to place a hand on your shoulder and rub it gently

Finally, he sees something he’s familiar about

Shyly, he tells you about what he knows about that painting, and when you turn to him looking like he just handed you the stars, this man would BLUSHHH

Overall, going to an art museum date with Porco would be very romantic and sweet!

Even though he has a tendency to be an ass to everyone, he’s really gentle and respectful with you. I mean, he finds all these boring, but he legit spent two hours in art museum with you listening to you rant about everything

It’s going to be difficult for him to listen to every word since he’s more distracted with your presence and enthusiasm, but that slight pinch in his brow lets you know he’s trying his best

Of course he also wants to impress you, so he did a little research beforehand (he gave up trying to know a LOT about the themes after 15 minutes, it’s just not his thing lol) but you’re surprised he knows a thing or two about the historical backgrounds of some things

After that, Porco buys you an umbrella with a painting you liked as its design from the museum’s shop

He’s not always good with his words, so please appreciate everything this man does for you, he’s really trying his best

He knows he can be crude sometimes – most of the time – so he tends to hold himself back when it comes to being verbally affectionate

Instead, he’ll show it through touches and spending time with you, investing in your hobbies and always being a good listener

But he also doesn’t miss the opportunity to tease you when you turn into a blabbering mess when you get excited over a certain piece. He can’t help himself, he’ll just lean forward and pinch your cheeks because you’re so darn cute like that

Once you’ve gotten closer and established a more official relationship, you can bet this man will SPOIL you

An art gallery out of town? He got you tickets.

An art exhibit by a foreign artist you support? He’s busy with his thesis but he’ll still make the time to drive you there or pick you up afterwards, never forgetting to provide you your daily dose of kisses

The next art museum date you guys have, he’s not that shy anymore

He’ll hold your hand, rub his calloused thumbs against the pad of your palms, and sniffing your hair because your shampoo smells so good

He’s TOUCHY for sure, but never to the point PDA becomes uncomfortable for others

But he’s really going to want you close to him all the time

Porco likes to party, but he’s actually not into too much noise or clamour, especially when he’s with you

You’re like the sweet breath of fresh air in his life and he wants to treasure everything with you. The next museum dates with him would include lots of hand holding, and him telling YOU about something you told him regarding that piece

And when you beam up at him, surprised that he remembered, it makes his chest swell with pride

If he’s not holding your hand, he’s got an arm wrapped around your waist

But if you’re eager to see something, you’d drag him inside a room and he’d just laugh while you light up like a little kid

IDK WHY but for some reason I can see you guys sharing scarves because most museums are really cold, and this gives him more of an excuse to be closer to you

I can really see this scene very well, where you guys are just staring at this piece you both like (you like it for art and philosophical reasons, but Porco will like it more because of sentimental reasons that involves you) and you place your head on his shoulder, his breath softly tickling your skin

The tranquillity of that moment and just being with your SO really calms you both down

He couldn’t be any more thankful in that moment, he’s extremely glad he met you

Then, as you’re too busy admiring the artwork, you’d feel Porco’s gaze on you, his eyes are literally SHINING with love and appreciation for you

PORCO BEST BOI
