victor is a surprisingly soft boy! but he's not out actively looking for love, it's the kind of thing that just happens

maybe you both reach for the same antique knife

or you're both stocking up on the same ammunition

both of you order the exact same ice cream/sauce/sprinkle combo when you're at the counter

meet-cutes are definitely a way to get his attention, and he's lost in your love pretty much immediately

in his line of work everything has to be fast and quick, and that goes for relationships too

you never know when someone's going to murder you, it could even be him

so you have to live every moment like it could potentially be your last, seize the day and all that

and he lives by that motto

so he'll be seizing you, taking you in his arms and telling you there's no point in delaying happiness when he could whisk you off to some romantic spot (for a contract killing) and romance you enough in one night to last a lifetime

he's the type of person who would organise it, down the last minute details

he'd spend a lot of time preparing himself, tidying up his apartment, practising any skills that might be required

and he'd be so strict on reinforced, constantly expressed consent

like he knows that when it feels like the right time (which according to his calculations, is actually four dates into a relationship and only if you know a specific amount of information about your potential partner) he'll make sure you're good to go

he's got checklists, it's like a set menu

and then, because he's the world's most unfortunate boy

none of that actually goes to plan, which is probably for the best

your first time with him is definitely a spur of the moment thing

mostly because as much as he wants to plan and organise

he'll never be bold enough to implement any of that with you

he talks a big game, he's got everything in theory

but practically? uh-uh

so it's down to a sweet kiss, which escalates

maybe a fumbling hand trying to hold your shoulder or waist

and then sliding down to your hips

with no intention of anything else but just caressing you

until the moment takes him and he's on you, deep, passionate kisses and desperate, clinging touches

he'll pull back, look into your eyes and ask you if you want to

y'know... with him... right now

only continuing if you have an enthusiastic yes for him

it's one of those moments where he learns you can't plan for everything

inevitably, fate comes into play

but his touch and his lust are far better expressed when they're improvised it turns out

he's actually... good at this?

gentle, but the exact right amount of passion

his efforts at foreplay taking inspiration from his research, but very loosely, like he's actually paying attention to how your body reacts

and he makes sure you cum, either with him or after he has, depending on what you need

no second round, he has to keep this perfect, quit while he's ahead

but you're in for a night of tight, almost smothering spooning

this soft bag of bones is FINALLY getting to put all of his planning and daydreaming to use

so you better believe it's going to be the best and most organised first date ever

first of all, he's planned it during the day, when most people are at work (crowds scare him) and kids are at school (children scare him and have been known to beat him senseless for his villainy)

and both of them were likely to be at the various places you're going today, first of which is, dun-da-da-dun

the arcade!

gives him a chance to show off how using his intellect, even the physical games can be beaten

he'll hold your hand the whole way round, share a slushie with two straws, and he'll have enough tickets by the end to win you whatever you want from the prize wall

yeah, that's right baby, anything you want, he's got game

then after that, the cinema to see a movie that's cute and fun

probably something animated, NOT a superhero movie under any circumstances

he'll maybe even choose something dramatic or romantic, or even a horror

whatever he chooses, it's something he's researched profusely to make sure he won't cry or jump or laugh too hard at

the last thing he wants is to embarrass himself in front of you

especially because the movie theatre is part of his plan for physical contact

he booked the back seats specifically

yeah he'll tell you it's for the acoustics or for the privacy of not being disturbed by noisy eaters

but it's very obvious what the plan was when he does the old "yawn-and-stretch" routine, putting his arm around you and pulling you in

and yet he'll still freak out if you snuggle up to him or put your hand on him anywhere

such a dork

for food, he's picked somewhere that serves standard meals

nothing too fancy or experimental

he likes straightforward options and not too many of them, otherwise he gets confused and stressed

he likes to order for you, but not in a "i'll choose what you have" way, more of a "tell him what you want and he'll be a very brave boy and try not to stutter when he asks the wait staff for it" kind of way

and please, let him feed you dessert with a spoon, he's been looking forward to it all day

he'll insist you walk home, or if you're too tired, take a cab and then walk you to your door

he won't push for a kiss, you'll have to make that move

but once he has his lips on yours, he'll find it hard to let go

maybe, if he's feeling brave enough, a hand at the back of your head, or on your waist

just so you know he's definitely into this

his first clue that something is deeply, deeply wrong is that he enjoys spending time with you

like usually he's a "love" you and leave you kinda guy

but he's hovering around long after you're done in bed, sitting on your couch, watching you go about your day

i mean it's not so bad, he's not offering to help you clean or cook or anything

until suddenly he is, and he realises he went out of his way to offer to help you

he's a logical man, a scientific brain and an intellectual mind, but he's not unconvinced that you aren't some kind of witch who has placed him under a spell

or given the physical reactions he has to you other than a standard erection and a desire to rut (sweating palms/forehead, clammy skin, stuttering, increased heart rate, funny, tight feeling in his chest) he was convinced he was dying, either randomly or by your hand

so he snuck in while you were out to check for poison and there wasn't any BUT he's glad he checked either way...

either way, he'll try his hardest to put some distance between you

being rude, being cold, being downright nasty

but he finds himself crawling back with grovelling apologies each time, when he has never felt the need or urge to apologise for anything in his life before now

he'll spend days going over the evidence, trying to pinpoint when and why he started feeling this way

and he's not actually all that pleased when he realises he can trace it back to your laugh, when you made him feel like he was funny and charming, not just smart

he didn't think it was worth it to have other attributes, but there he was revelling in it

in fact, it felt better than being the smartest man in the world, because you seemed to value that more

it's doubtful he'll ever tell you how he feels

if he does, it'll be a quick mumble, a kind of "iguessiloveyou" before he changes the subject quickly

he might even say it to you in the throes of passion, while you're having sex, at least that way he can blame it on the moment

his crush develops almost instantly

you're nice to him, sweet and kind

you listen! which isn't something most other people do

and you tolerate his riddles, in fact it's more than that, you seem to actually enjoy them!

looking through the data, he can tell exactly when he fell in love with you

it was something in the way you smiled at him, answering his riddle and looking so proud of yourself

because you wanted him to be proud or impressed, you wanted to seem worthy of him

no one's really went to that effort before, everyone assumes they're better than him

so to find someone who thinks they're an equal, even though they're definitely far better than him

it's overwhelming, really. gives him a dry mouth, but in a good way? if that's a thing...

you might suspect that he's developed feelings for you long before he actually finds the courage to tell you

his affections are awkward for sure

leaving you little notes and riddles

bringing you lunch and sweet treats, often ones he's made himself

and flowers? forget about it! your workplace, your apartment

they might as well be botanical gardens the way he's been sending you bouquets

it might seem like a good idea for you to make the first move

but anytime you try, he gets too nervous, sweating and stuttering and running to go and tend to some ridiculous excuse

it feels wrong to him that you would be the first to say something

he wants to woo you, to be extra romantic with it

something that'll make you feel as wonderful as you really are

even at the risk of having you realise you could do better...

i think jon would be well aware that he was falling for someone

he'd already be well aware of the potential to feel something more for you, it wouldn't hit him by surprise

he's surprisingly open emotionally, and he's romantic and soft at his core

so while he's not actively looking for love, he's not avoiding it either

and something in the way you look at him, unflinching

staring into his eyes, not put off like most people are

the way you speak to him so honestly and vulnerably, unafraid of what he is, at least what people think he is

it's enough to have him dreaming of you while he works, thinking of you, planning ways to be with you, scheming about how to get you alone

once he's certain that he cares for you deeply, he'll let the emotions settle in, enjoying them before he makes them concrete

there's something similar to fear as love, if you keep it undisclosed, to yourself, it's more powerful

when you share it though, it's beautiful

so he wouldn't take too long to tell you how he feels

and he wouldn't do it in an overly dramatic way

taking your hands and telling you exactly how he feels would be his method of choice

look even if you're as subby as they come, much like myself, you're going to need to be the brave one here and take control

because lord knows jonathan won't

you think he's in a mental state to be capable of approaching someone and trying to bed them? absolutely not

he's rife with panic, self-issue images, rejection/social/general trauma too, so yeah, he's not about to open himself up to be laughed at by suggesting that someone sleeps with him

you'd need to approach him gently, slowly, offer him a lot of reassurance and physical affection first of all, let him know he's loved and appreciated, held in your arms regardless

eventually the passion will build up in him as he realises that you won't flinch at his touch

that you respond positively to when he grazes over your skin with his fingers

that you're happy to touch him back, grab at him to bring him closer to you

just to feel wanted, to know that you want his touch, his love, to have him inside of you and around him

he'll shed a few tears, but he won't stop you

they're positive

it means he's feeling something

falling in love is a lot like developing a phobia, at least he thinks so

the slow burn, the sort of recognition that something is a bit off, a bit different about this situation

your reaction to it is different to what you would expect

because there are similar situations, but this one just... gut punches you

and before you know it, it's on your mind. you're thinking about it constantly, wondering when it's going to show up, when that feeling is going to take over you

and then it's all-consuming. the only thing you ever think about, the only thing that you're bothered by, the only thing you can feel anymore

so naturally, he's obsessed with the idea of falling in love

the stresses that it brings, the nerves and anxiety, the fear of rejection, the fear of commitment. all of it so delicious

and he wouldn't hesitate to tell you at all

but he would make a bit of a game out of it

maybe invite you to his office, have you lay down on his couch

just while he explains to you the concept of love and the feelings he has and what you might expect from a relationship with him where both of you share these feelings as equals

and he'll take notes too, don't think he won't
