#fluff abcs

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

Friede loves showing affection. Even if it's something as simple as holding hands at the start.

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

As a best friend, Friede is the friend who acts dumb to make people laugh, but he knows how to be serious when he needs to be.

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

Friede goes to bed early so the two of you can cuddle or pillow talk.

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

Friede isn't the type to settle down in a "buy a house with a white picket fence" type. But if you're willing to live on the Brave Asagai, he's more than happy to settle down with you on it.

He can cook basic meals for sure. And he cooks them well. Better meals take him a bit longer to cook, and he may struggle, but he is more than willing to try for you.

As for cleaning, Friede keeps stuff tidy already. So he's more than capable of cleaning by himself.

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

Friede would break up in a quiet spot that's off the ship so you can leave immediately if you wanted to. He doesn't want to cause more troubles than a breakup can, so the most he'd do afterwards is send you your stuff back if you ask for it, or someone asks for you.

F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

Friede takes his time with dating. He doesn't jump straight to marriage until he knows you're the one.

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

Friede is on the energetic end when it comes to his personality, but he shoves everything aside to be gentler with you. He doesn't want to harm you in any way, and making sure that he's gentle is one good way of knowing that he'll never harm you.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

One of Friede's love languages is physical touch. He doesn't hug you often due to the two of you having your own duties to attend to, but when he does hug you, his hugs are warm and safe.

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

Friede says "I love you" fairly early. He didn't even mean to say it. It just slipped out of his mouth before either of you could even process it.

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)

Friede isn't jealous by any means. He feels secure in your relationship and he knows that you won't cheat on him. But when someone is hitting on you, he'll wrap an arm around your waist and he'll press a kiss to your cheek.

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

Friede's kisses are usually short, sweet and soft. If you're in the halls and no one is around, he'll hook his arm around your waist as you pass to press a kiss on your forehead before letting you go. When he has more time, his kisses are usually lingering, gentle, kisses.

L = Little ones (How are they around children?)

Friede was a professor, so he's gentle around kids. He knows how to handle them too, he knows how to make sure that they feel safe and comfortable around him, and what he needs to do if they start crying.

M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

Mornings with Friede are slow. If you aren't on the Brave Asagi, he takes his time making breakfast and some coffee or tea.

If you're on the Brave Asagi, he'll stay in bed with you for as long as he can get away with, before he'd have to get ready for the day.

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)

Friede loves to do his night routine with you. Whether the two of you are brushing your teeth together, or one of you is showering and the other is taking care of their teeth and/or skincare. He doesn't care.

On stressful nights, he'll run you a hot bath if he's able to. He'll wash your hair, and then he'll raid the pantry for your favourite snacks and drinks.

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?)

Friede, whilst he's relatively trusting, reveals things slowly when he feels the time is right. Sometimes, things slip out. Other times, he feels like you should know something.

Skeletons in his closet and secrets relating to the RVT will take longer to be revealed, whereas smaller stuff about him will be revealed quicker.

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

When it comes to people outside of the Explorers, he's a patient man. But when it comes to the Explorers/Exceed or people related to them? His patience is finite.

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?)

Friede is forgetful. Like. VERY forgetful. So, he'll keep a little notebook of everything you like, drinks you often get, places you mentioned that you wanted to visit, etc. It makes him feel better since he won't forget the small details that mean a lot to you.

R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

Friede's favourite moment is when he said that he loved you for the first time. It naturally slipped out during Golden Hour when the two of you were watching the sunrise. You looked stunning. The golden hues complimented your features, making you look ethereal. He only knew that it slipped out when you turned to look at him, and his stomach churned like the first time he fell inlove with you.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

Friede is more protective than he'd like to admit. He's protective in a healthy way, until the Explorers come around. Then he has his hand around your waist to make sure that you're close and that they can't harm you.

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

Friede knows the significance of anniversaries. So he'll put as much effort as he can when it comes to celebrating them. Dates and gifts? He'll put less effort into them as they aren't a huge milestone, but he still tries his best.

Because Friede is a bit dense and can't pick up on subtle cues, he'll always gift you something you've always wanted or you've explicitly mentioned wanting. Outside of that? He'll get you something that reminded him of you. Whether that be your favourite flower/flowers, or something as small as a necklace or a pokémon carved out of wood.

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

Unsurprisingly- Friede's horrible memory is one of his worst traits. He needs everything written down -and then some reminders- to make sure he remembers. So, don't be suprised if you see his calendar with a spesific date marked in red with arrows pointing to it.

But he tries his best to remember important dates. After a while, he fully remembered your -alongside any important friends or families'- birthdays. He also has your favourite stuff written down on his rotomphone so he can buy anything when he's at the store.

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?

Friede is relatively concerned with his looks. On one hand, he doesn't mind it if his hair gets a bit messy when he's outside as there's not much he can do, but on the other hand, he maintains good hygiene, making sure to brush his teeth and hair so he can look his best.

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

Friede is independent. You are a luxury that Arceus had given him, but without you, he'll still carry on. Sure, he will feel a bit lost, or like something is missing, but he'll be able to continue on with his life without you.

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)

Friede is a bit impulsive. He'll randomly ask if you want to go on a date at random times too. Sometimes the two of you get ready for it, but other times, he'll drag you out at 5 in the morning because a good Cafe has opened up. He won't even give you time to get ready, the most you can do is change out of your sleeping clothes and maybe have a shower.

Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)

Friede wouldn't be one for open relationships. It's something he's heard of once, and the idea of it ruins the whole meaning about being in a relationship.

Friede also wouldn't be too into people who stay in one place for their whole lives. He respects them, but he wants to have a partner who is okay with travelling around with him on the Brave Asagi. He has more than enough time to settle down when he's old and wrinkled.

Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)

Comfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?

Clarisse is surprisingly (or actually, not so surprisingly) good with emotional issues. She has learnt how to deal with her own issues a long time ago, and will easily teach you the tricks she has. She is great at bringing comfort to you, when you are down.

Dreams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?

Most of her plans are rather short term, because she never had the chance to plan things on the long term. Tomorrow was hardly guaranteed to come, so what is the use of planning for next year? Right now, she is thinking of going to college and she would love to take you with her, so you can study and grow together. After that? That is up to the fates.

Equal - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?

Clarisse is very dominant, it is in her blood. She will seek you out wherever you are and loves taking charge. She does appreciate it if you speak up to her though, tell her what you want, so she can change the things you do to be to your liking too/ 

Fight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?

Fights with Clarisse are brutal. She really tries to take deep breaths and count to ten, but if you really pissed her off (probably by endangering yourself) she has a hard time controlling her anger. Give her a moment in the arena, where she can blow of steam, before breaching the topic again. She will want to reach mutual understanding, but she won’t use the word “forgiven”. 

Gratitude - How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?

You are kind off a second heart to her, she is aware of you but she does not always actively see what you do for her. She can’t imagine being without you and your help, but she simply doesn’t know how to be grateful towards you. Only when you disappear for a little while, does she notice how much you did for her and she is sure to repay you in some way. She really is an acts of service kinda gal. 

Honesty - Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?

Clarisse does not believe in secrets. It might take time for her to open up about her childhood, fears and worries, but she wants to. There is no good in a relationship where you cannot trust each other.

Inspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?

To be able to be Clarisses significant other, you have to have gained her respect. However, this does not mean that she easily accepts your help. She does love helping you push your boundaries though, help you get over your fears and every time you do, she gets a little braver herself. 

Jealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?

She does not get jealous easy, however she is scared that you might leave her behind (like her dad, who doesn’t care about her). If she is having a bad time, she will isolate herself from you. She doesn’t need more harm than she will already get when you leave. However, you find her at your spot, a safe haven for the two of you, and as you hold her tight she shares her worries. 

Kiss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?

Her kisses are rather clumsy, because she often is very excited to kiss you. The first kiss was aggressive though, you were talking about an upcoming fight or quest (who remembers?) and said something among the lines of sacrificing yourself. Clarisse got angry, and at one point to shut you up she just kissed you. “If you want more of that, you better came back alive, you hear!” she yelled before she ran away, trying to still her beating heart. 

Love Confession - How would they confess to their s/o?

She takes you apart, finds a silent spot and confronts you. In  her mind this is a battle field, she needs to win this battle but for you she is also willing to lose. Her adrenaline made her half scream out her confession, but when you accept she almost breaks down. She won one of the hardest battles out there, and as she hugs you she cries a little. 

Memory - What’s their favourite memory together?

Clarisse has too many good memories about you to pick a favourite, although she always thinks back to the times where you assure her of your relationship. Whether it is you addressing her as your girlfriend, or the handholding during the campfire, she lives for these reassurances coming from you. 

Nicknames - What do they call their s/o?

Affectionate insults, or you name. Not your last name, your first name (until you have her last name, after which she loves saying it because it is you and you are hers)

On Cloud Nine - What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?

It might be obvious to those who know Clarisse, but she does not understand that she is in love with you until someone else points it out. It shows in how her insults do not have their edge when she talks to you, or how she tends to seek you out in battle, not to fight you but to make sure you don’t get hurt. 

PDA - Are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag with their s/o in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss etc. when others are watching?

I hope you have no shame left, because you will be the number one bragging subject for Clarisse. She will use your perfectness as a tool to insult others. If it gets too much and you tell her, she will reluctantly tone it down (when you are around, at least.)

Quirk - Some random ability they have that’s beneficial in a relationship.

Her sheer strength can break mountains, but also means that she would gladly do all your heavy lifting. If you are too tired to walk, she will help you. If you need protection from monsters, she is behind you. 

Romance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?

Romance is not her strong suit, but if you mention wanting to do something romantic she will awkwardly recreate something out of the movies for you. It might be a bit messy, but I can guarantee you that she swallowed her pride and asked for help of the Aphrodite cabin, which results in the scene still being very pretty. 

Support - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?

Determination is one of her strong suits, she will in fact hold enough stubbornness for the two of you. If you seem freaked out about something you want to do, she will help you break it down into chunks that she herself understands and can help with. Seeing you smiling at your victory over your goals is one of the bests sights to her. 

Thrill - Do they need to try out new things to spice up your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?

Don’t call it “spicing up your relationship” because she will argue against it, saying (affectionately) that “When you started dating me, you should have known this would happen, idiot.” Clarisse finds a sense of home in the hectic life. Maybe it is in her roots, her dad being to god of war and war being messy. 

Understanding - How well do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?

At first Clarisse might seem to be the type to not be empathetic, however it depends on how much she respects you. When she fell for you, a whole new person was there to help you through all your problems. She knows how to read you like a book, and often finds some alone time for the two of you if she thinks you need it. Somewhere where you both can be vulnerable. 

Value - How important is the relationship to them? What is it’s worth in comparison to other things in their life?

As a year round camper, Clarisse has a deep attachment to anything that is camp related, including you. However, she might take you for granted a little, because she never thinks about what extremes she might need to go through to be with you. This relationship for her just has to be there and she refuses to think of giving it up, for it is just that integral to her life. 

Wild Card - A random Fluff Headcanon.

Unbeknownst to most, Clarisse is very aware of how someone’s mental state can affect their everyday live. She has had to deal with anger issues and abandonment issues herself, and is still working through them. So, she often urges you to take a mental break, to entrust her with your worries. She might not be a therapist, but she wants to be there for you. 

XOXO - Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?

She is aggressively affectionate. I’m talking affectionate bumps in your arm, holding you too tight for your comfort, kissing you mid-battle as to throw you off your game. 

Yearning - How will they cope when they’re missing their partner?

People won’t notice as much that she is missing you, because she always seems threatening to the people around her. Clarisse will be more snappy. However, those who know her better do see the sadness she has on her face whenever she thinks people aren’t looking. 

Zeal - are they willing to go to great lengths for the relationship? If so, what kind of?

H = Hands (How do they like to hold hands?) ~ He doesn’t really hold hands, at first at least. And when he’s out in public he doesn’t, he doesn’t want to make his boyfriend a target. Though when something goes wrong and they have to get out of there? He is GRIPPING M/n’s hand.

I = Impression (What was their first impression?) ~ Din saw M/n as just another nuisance and mouth to feed. He was actually hired to protect M/n and eventually he just got stuck with him. M/n grew on him and eventually had him falling head over heels for him.

J = Jealousy (Do they get jealous?) ~ Yes. It’s Din, he gets very jealous. If he sees someone flirting with M/n he’ll move his hand to his blaster. “That’s enough.” It gets the person away and has Din grin under the helmet.

K = Kiss (How do they kiss? Who initiated the first kiss?) ~ M/n started the first kiss. Din was still wearing the helmet and that wasn’t coming off. So M/n kissed Din’s helmet side. “Love you Mando.”

L = Love (Who says ‘I love you’ first?) ~ “Love you Mando.” Yeah, that was M/n. He said it first and it made Din blush under the helmet. It’s one of the many things that made Din think about removing his helmet.

M = Memory (What’s their favourite memory together?) ~ Well there’s a few. But one memory that always comes to Din’s mind is walking in and seeing M/n being a dad to Grogu. He was tossing him the ball. “This is my family” that’s what he thought seeing that and he still thinks that.

N = Nickel (Do they spoil? Do they buy the person they love everything?) ~ No not really. Don’t get me wrong, Din DOES give M/n gifts, but they need to preserve their credits for supplies and other things.

O = Orange (What colour reminds them of their other half?) ~ Green. He thinks the color green is perfect for M/n. It’s vibrant, a color that’s like life. Pretty much the opposite of Din. Yeah, he would choose green.

P = Pet names (What pet names do they use?) ~ M/n uses Mando for him a lot but Din doesn’t really have pet names. And honestly? I can’t see him using them.

Q = Quaint (What is their favourite non-modern thing?) ~ Sabacc. He absolutely loves playing Sabacc and can give someone a run for their money. M/n can only play with Din for a short time before it turns from fun to the space version of uno.

R = Rainy Day (What do they like to do on a rainy day?) ~ Head off to another planet. No just kidding haha. Those are the days that Din locks up the Razorcrest and he and M/n chill in their bed watching holo vids.

S = Sad (How do they cheer themselves/others up?) ~ He puts it all into his work. He keeps his mind off of everything and disassociates. It’s not healthy and M/n tries to comfort him when he can.

T = Talking (What do they like to talk about?) ~ Din likes to talk about his travels before M/n and growing up with the other Mandalorians. It took him a while to open up and discuss that last part since it was pretty much sacred...but he trusted M/n.

U = Unencumbered (What helps them relax?) ~ This might be cheesy...but seeing that M/n and Grogu are okay. THAT makes him relax and takes a big weight off his shoulders.

V = Vaunt (What do they like to show off? What are they proud of?) ~ “Have you seen my son?” “This is M/n, he’ll kick your ass.” His family. Which is strange because he also likes to keep them safe and not make them a target...but they’re so amazing he HAS to show them off.

W = Wedding (When, how, where do they propose?) ~ Shotgun wedding. Thanks, Boba for being the officiater and Fennec for witnessing it. Grogu is the ring barrer. Grogu is also the one who helped Din propose to M/n, he pulled out his little necklace which had the ring on it and gave it to M/n.

X = Xylophone (What’s their song?) ~ Centuries by fallout boy

Y = Yes (Do they ever think of getting married/proposing?) ~ Yeah he’s thought about it. Do they get married? Probably, but it would be very…’let’s do it’. Nothing too fancy.

Z = Zebra (If they wanted a pet, what would they get?) ~ No pets. Grogu would eat it.

A-Activities (what do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?)

He likes sports (aside from Tennis for personal reasons, and basketball and volleyball because they make him feel even shorter.) So play soccer with him. He likes when he can communicate with you without talking. He can more properly convey how he feels by always...always letting you win. 

N-Nicknames (what do they call their s/o?) 

He’s not a big nicknames guy, besides from “baby”. “Baby” becomes another part of his daily vocabulary with you. When he’s feeling overly affectionate he might slip in a “doll” or “kitten” if he likes you enough. 

U-Understanding (how good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?)

He’s not the most understanding guy in the world, but he makes up for it with effort. He can be empathetic of you, but sometimes he just really doesn’t understand relationships. He’s also not the most forgiving, so hopefully you can work out your problems in just words because he can and will fight back. He doesn’t express his emotions often...so when he does he just hopes you’d be as understanding as he can be. 

Z-Zeal (are they willing to go to great lengths for their relationship? If so, what kind of?)
