āi donāt have to think; with you, thereās no pretending.ā
a- admiration (what do they absolutely adore about you?)
he loves how you can stand up for yourself. heās more than happy to step in when neededāshow off a few of his trusty karate movesābut itās always captivating to see you hold your own. the fire in your eyes is enough to make him melt.
b- body (what is their favorite part of your body?)
he likes your eyesāhow they soften with concern after his rougher practices, how they light up with excitement when he shows up unannounced. he could stare into them all day and never get tired. but heās still a teenage boy at heart, so⦠he thinks your thighs are pretty nice, too.
c - cuddling (how do they like to cuddle?)
his preference is holding you from behindāwrapping his arms around your waist, resting his head in the curve where your neck meets your shoulder. thereās something so intimate about itāit makes him feel soft and a little mushy inside. heās not opposed to being held, either.
d - domesticĀ (do they want to settle down?Ā how are they at cooking and cleaning?)
he hasnāt given the future much thoughtālife in the present keeps him plenty busyābut heās always known he wants to settle down someday. get married, have a kid or two, maybe a dog just because. itās one of those certainties heās carried with him for as long as he can remember. and when he meets you, something shifts. suddenly, itās not just a distant dreamāitās a real, tangible future.
heās not exactly skilled in the kitchen or all that handy with chores, but heās more than willing to try. even if it ends with the floor soaked or eggs somehow stuck to the ceiling.
e - endingĀ (if they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
he wouldnāt take it lightly. even if heās not in love with you anymore, he still respects you more than anyone else. heās not the type to ghost or pull away quietlyāheād want to talk, even if his voice shakes the whole way through.
f - fiancee (how do they feel about commitment?Ā how quick would they want to get married?)
heās all for commitment. when it comes to relationships, heās headstrongāand when he knows youāre the one, heās all in. no hesitation, no second-guessing. as for timing, heād probably pop the question not long after you both turn eighteen. he doesnāt see the point in waiting around. heās certain about you, and heās not afraid to show it.
g - gentleĀ (how gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
heās usually playful, full of teasing grins and commentsābut when it matters, he can be gentle. physically, heās always careful with you; not because he doubts your strength, but because he loves you. and he wants to treat you with the utmost respect, always.
h - hugsĀ (do they like hugs?Ā how often do they do it?Ā what are their hugs like?)
he absolutely adores hugs. they become something of a tradition between the two of youāa wordless hello, goodbye, i love you, and everything in between. on ordinary days, his hugs are lightāa quick wrap of his arms around your waist. but in the moments that matter, he holds on tighter, buries his face in your shoulder, and lets himself sink into the warmth of your skin.
i - i love youĀ (how fast do they say the l-word?)
as soon as he knows, he says it. no second thoughts, no hesitationāit just slips out, unplanned but entirely genuine.
j - jealousyĀ (how jealous do they get?Ā what do they do when theyāre jealous?)
heās driven more by his heart than his head, so jealousy comes easily to him. itās usually fleetingājust a heat-of-the-moment reactionābut it happens more often than heād like to admit. when it does, he tends to get a little clingy: hugging you from behind, slipping a hand into your back pocket, anything to keep you close.
k - kisses (what are their kisses like? where do they like to kiss you? where do they like to be kissed?)
kisses turn into a habit between the two of you. soft ones in greeting, deeper ones as good luck charms before his tournaments. heās a simple guyāhe prefers kissing you on the lips, though your cheek is a close second. as for him, heās not picky. kiss him anywhere, and heāll melt. having your lips on him feels like a blessing, no matter what.
l - little ones (how are they around children?)
heās great at entertaining themācracking jokes, making silly faces, playing games. but when it comes to calming them down or scolding them? yeah⦠that part doesnāt come as naturally.
m - morning (how are mornings spent with them?)
mornings with him are slow and lazy. he loves his sleep, so getting out of bed is always a struggle. most days heāll wrap his arms around you and plead for just a few more minutes. on busy mornings, the two of you move through your routine togetherābrushing your teeth in the same mirror, sharing breakfast, maybe even squeezing in a shower before heading out.
n - night (how are nights spent with them?)
nights with him are nothing short of comforting. heās usually worn out by the end of the day, so his playful energy softens into something gentler. heāll pull you close, half-listen to you talk with sleepy eyes, or run his fingers through your hair while telling you about his own day. itās his favorite way to unwindājust the two of you, warm and safe.
o - open (when would they start revealing things about themselves? do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
he doesnāt always mean to, but heās an open book the second he realizes how safe he feels around you. it doesnāt come out all at once, thoughāhe shares things gradually, in passing comments and deep conversations.
p - patience (how easily angered are they?)
his emotions tend to get the best of him, so he can get frustrated pretty easily. but after a few early arguments, he learns to rein it ināwhen to bite his tongue, when to walk away, and when to simply listen. all because he cares about you that much.
q - quizzes (how much would they remember about you? do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
he remembers all the little things his brain latches ontoāyour coffee order, your favorite color, the way you fidget when youāre nervous. but birthdays and anniversaries? total blank sometimes. itās like his brain forgets how to function when it actually counts.
r - remember (what is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
your first date means the world to him. it was the night everything shiftedāthe night he realized how much better he was when he was with you. you went to an arcade. laughed until your stomachs hurt, took goofy photo booth pictures, shared a giant bottle of lemonade, and kissedāgiggled into each otherās mouths with the taste of sugar and citrus on your lips.
s - security (how protective are they? how would they protect you? how would they like to be protected?)
heās extremely protective. if someone even looks at you wrong, his bodyās already on high alertājaw tight, eyes sharp, muscles tensed like heās ready to step in. heād argue for you without hesitation, and if it came to it, heād fight for you too.
being protected isnāt his favoriteāit bruises his pride more than heāll admitābut when you cheer him on or take his side in a fight, it makes his heart flutter.
t - try (how much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
he puts minimal effort into the everyday. over time, dates become part of your routineāgrocery runs, sunrise bike rides, walks where you donāt really go anywhere but still end up holding hands. but for birthdays and anniversaries? he goes all out. decorations, plans, handwritten notes, the whole thing. he wants those memories to stick.
u - ugly (what would be some bad habits of theirs?)
his communication sucks at first. when heās upset, he shuts down completelyāgoes quiet, pulls away, avoids you entirely like itāll somehow fix things. he means well; he just doesnāt know how to talk about things without feeling overwhelmed or guilty. it takes time, and a lot of patience, but he slowly gets better.
v - vanity (how concerned are they with their looks?)
he keeps himself clean and his hair in check, but beyond that, he doesnāt stress. says heās āeffortlessly charmingā with a grin that both annoys and endears you. and honestly? he kind of is.
w - whole (would they feel incomplete without you?)
completely. youāre not just his partnerāyouāre part of his rhythm, his daily routine. he kisses you before class, eats lunch with you when he can, calls you before bed. when youāre not there, everything feels a little off. like heās going through the motions without the part that makes them matter.
x - xtra (a random headcanon for them.)
even though heās soft with you most of the time, he loves sparring. something about the fire in your eyes when youāre trying to win makes his heart race. he never really minds losing eitherābecause losing means you pinning him down, grinning with that victorious glint in your eye.
y - yuck (what are some things they wouldnāt like, either in general or in a partner?)
he canāt stand people who play games with feelings. loyalty matters a lot to himāhe gives it fully and expects the same in return. if someoneās flaky, noncommittal, or treats love like itās disposable, heās out. no second chances.
z - zzz (what is a sleep habit of theirs?)
he sleeps like a starfishāand somehow, youāre always the surface he lands on. one leg slung over your stomach, an arm across your chest, his face tucked into your shoulder. itās sweet until you wake up sore and stiff and he just blinks at you like he has no clue in the whole wide world.
