Aaron

(why is he Small)

Nightmares suck, Aaron would know that better than most. His immediate concern is his s/o's safety and comfort, he won't ask about it unless they feel like talking about it. All in all he just ends up holding them close to him until they relax, he's a little worried about going back to sleep afterwards but he eventually dozes off.

Axel

Honestly he'd brush it off at first in a half awake state, he's just not good at actually noticing when people are in distress besides when he's murdering them. When he realizes somethings actually wrong his immediate instinct is to go for the knife on his nightstand, ready for war. His s/o WILL have to explain it was a nightmare before he puts it down and gingerly attempts to ease their nerves with an awkward attempt at comfort in the form of quiet "you're alright"s, doesn't sleep after that and he feels kind of bad that he couldn't do much.

Shane

He tries to use logic to get his s/o through it first, if that doesn't work (as it wouldn't for most others besides himself) then that'll lead to him just kinda sitting awake with them until they go back to bed. By then he's not getting any rest so he'll most likely get up and start doing whatever his mind feels like at the moment.

Reilly

(Another one lost to the Tumblr Shrink)

Jack

Love is something that he tries to stay away from after the loss of his family, but when he feels it again for another- there's a twinge of hope, before the crushing realization that those feelings could NEVER be reciprocated hits him. He's a gang leader who's literally returned from hell, no one could ever love something like that. He keeps his composed appearance up around them, and he'll never let his feelings slip through, he's practically a professional at bottling his true feelings.

Aaron

Gets so so confused. He never got to experience what it was like to really crush on someone, so it takes him a while to figure out why his stomach gets so light around that particular someone, why his palms get so sweaty and why words become so hard to form. It's after a discussion with Johnny that he realizes he's fallen, and that's when he immediately goes to confront those feelings in the form of confessing. It's awkward and for the first time in years Aaron can't seem to keep himself together, stuttering like a lovesick teenager. It's a mess and he's actually terrified the entire time, but he gets it done.

Axel

Immediately realizes and drops the news very casually, just comes over and goes "hey I love you, wanna get drinks?" Talking about these feelings is nothing he gets nervous about, he doesn't see why anyone would. Just don't be a pussy, say what you think, that's essentially his motto.

Shane

Like Axel, he realizes it immediately. But he doesn't act immediately, he waits. He looks for any sign that these feelings are returned, one of his best skills is reading people like books. He'll figure out that it's not one sided after a good month or two of observing, taking that person out more and more in order to further study. He just needs to be sure before he says or does anything stupid.
