His touch feels charged — the lightest brush of his fingertips against your skin sends shivers down your spine, like a tiny electric spark. He knows this perfectly well and sometimes deliberately runs his hand along your shoulder or neck just to see your reaction. It both interests and amuses him. He’ll never admit it, but he’s secretly pleased by the fact that he doesn’t need to do much to stir up his beloved.

His kisses are rare, but deep. He doesn’t throw them around carelessly — every kiss feels like a confession: slow, careful, yet confident. Alva believes actions speak louder than words, and in actions, quality and sincerity matter (as well as avoiding excess). This man definitely knows how to treat a lady, because his kisses are like tiny sparks — just a moment, yet the sensations are bright both during and after, lingering in memory for quite some time.

His jealousy shows through tenderness. If someone gives him a bad feeling, he won’t say anything directly — why cause his beloved discomfort over some random trash who can’t add two and two? But you’ll notice something’s bothering him by the way he clings to you in the evening, holding you closer than usual. Don’t provoke a man his age by adding fuel to a small flame — a spark can turn into a fire, and in the morning the girl who enjoys playing with flames might wake up with terrible lower-back pain.

The teasing side of him isn’t far beneath the surface. Alva enjoys subtle games and gentle teasing — like slowly leaning toward your ear while you sit beside him, minding your own business and suspecting nothing, and whispering something completely ordinary… but in such a tone that your heart skips a beat. This is his favorite pastime when his research takes days and the exhaustion starts catching up to his brilliant mind.His arms are a safe haven.He may suddenly hug you from behind, resting his hands on your waist, simply standing there silently as if checking: you’re here, with him, and you’re not going anywhere. This usually happens after a long, difficult day, when everything feels overwhelming. A short rest near the woman/man he loves — her warmth and scent — is the best and strongest motivation for him to return to his great work.

In truth, Alva loves cuddling. He sees it as a pure and innocent expression of affection, and every hug awakens deep childhood warmth in him. His favorite is hugging you from behind after a hard workday, resting his cheek on the top of your head while his hands settle on your hips.His gaze is something you can’t easily escape.Alva looks directly into your eyes — longer than is usually considered normal. His gaze is sharp and warm at the same time, and in moments like these, you feel as if he sees right through you. He believes eye contact is essential both in life and in love.

Though he’s a technical-minded scholar, he isn’t unfamiliar with humanistic views on life. If you asked him which romantic saying about people he finds the truest, he’d answer without hesitation: “The eyes are the mirror of the soul.” And truly, you can understand so much through them. With such a view of human nature, it’s no surprise that Alva finds deep eye contact incredibly intimate — especially between partners .And intimate enough that the right look could make him forget all worldly matters and start thinking about how to please his beloved for giving him such sweet eyes. The calm before the storm? Oh, absolutely. You never know when this genius—who can fix a lightbulb in the bathroom but forget his own lunch—will decide to relax a little. Usually, his wife/husband is the one who winds him up to the limit, and he, as a loving and devoted husband, gladly follows her/his lead.Alva almost always knows when his adored woman/man wants affection and is always ready for her. But the reverse situation is impossible to predict.

Linhardt

He sleepily mumbles these names

Non-traditional, too

My pillow, love

He lies on you, or against you, and usually mutters "my pillow..." and it's your choice on whether or not you push him off

Claude

Little bastard teases you so much with these damn pet names

Push his face away and he'll start laughing after saying these

Baby, cute-heart, little babe

Such a jerk

Lorenz

Also a little bastard, but in a different way. he doesn't tease you, but he's semi-annoying

He's bastard (affectionate)

My rose, my love, cutie

CLAUDE

screams it from the top of the goddess towers the second you say yes to him. he then proceeds to pick you up + swing you around

his voice is so loud that everyone runs out of their dorms fully prepared to fight in their pyjamas

when they discover that it’s just claude screaming in the middle of the night, they’re all a bit cheesed off but then they all see that claude is sporting the most genuine smile he’s ever had, ever, and all is forgiven

brings it up to everyone, all the time - it’s all he thinks about and all he talks about

HILDA

stands on the table in the middle of the dining hall and loudly yells about how much she loves you + then adds on the end that you’re engaged

picks you up bridal style and parades you around, showing off your ring to anyone who dares look your way

everyone tries their hardest not to make eye contact because they know that hilda won’t shut up about your engagement

won’t be able to keep her hands off of you for the next two weeks, so be prepared for that

LORENZ

he can’t wait to say it. he’s giggling to himself for the rest of the night, keeping the pair of you up for hours on end - poor ignatz in the next room over can’t sleep either

he decides that announcing your engagement should be a big thing - a big, fancy thing - and he holds a party just to celebrate it

every single time someone tries to offer their congratulations he talks their head off about how incredible you are and how lucky he is

eventually everyone stops trying to talk to him about marriage

MARIANNE

she doesn’t. she won’t even briefly mention it to anyone

the only reason why people know is because hilda spotted the matching rings on both of your fingers & loudly screamed at the top of her lungs

nobody would stop pestering the two of you for days and marianne looked like she wanted to cry

you both go home and she won’t leave your arms for the entire night. she’s too flustered

RAPHAEL

immediately after you accept his proposal he very excitedly picks you up + holds you above his head, laughing and yelling

“IM GETTING MARRIED TO THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!!!!!!”

parades you around the monastery for the next three hours, chanting about how much he loves you & it’s kind of embarrassing but also very sweet

poor ignatz never hears the end of it

IGNATZ

also doesn’t tell anyone. maybe he tells marianne because he knows she’ll keep it quiet

well - he tries not to tell anyone. raphael quickly spots the rings and loudly exclaims, “hey, are you two engaged or something?” and now you’re both the centre of attention

gets very bashful whenever he has to call you his s/o, let alone his fiancé

everyone thinks he’s really cute though so they don’t leave him alone bless

LEONIE

also yells it at the top of her lungs. there isn’t a single soul within a five mile radius that doesn’t know about your engagement

soon enough raphael joins in and they’re both yelling, and claude thinks it’s hilarious so he joins in too & suddenly you’re all kicked out of the dining hall

constantly shows off your rings to everyone who dares approach

How he met you: He met you after the war and through work. You had shown to get good results and get things done quickly, and that is why Edelgard assigned you to work alongside Hubert. There was a mission that Hubert couldn’t do alone even if he said otherwise. 

Hubert is wary of you even if Edelgard hand-picked you for this job so he kept part of his attention on you during the time both of you were together and that’s when Hubert began to fall.

Why does Hubert like you: Proud and dignified, knowing your value, and never thinking of lowering yourself to others, but neither do you come across as disrespectful or haughty. You are good at any job given to you and quick to finish it perfectly. Hubert finds all of this so refreshing that he can’t help but sigh in peace or be seen with a relaxed, peaceful smile near you. Hubert can’t remember the last time someone, besides Edelgard, has made him want to be less guarded around someone. You likely are one of the few people who has seen his softer side.

༓Linhardt von Hevring  Would he or would he not confess to you, and why: He would tell you in the most casual way that seems like it was a passing comment and it takes a moment to understand what just happened. Linhardt didn’t see why he shouldn’t tell you and doesn’t have the energy to become anxious over his feelings being found out. 

Do people/you notice if he treats you differently: Anyone would just think that you’re simply friends, including you, while Linhardt himself might think otherwise. He is the only one who would notice that he treats you differently while everyone else thinks he is behaving as normal. 

The way he treats you differently: He'll want to spend time with you by either doing things or relaxing in each other's company as he rests. Linhardt will help you with work, not that he won’t complain but he won’t let you stop him from doing it. Even if tired, Linhardt will find time to spend with you, not wanting to go a day without at least talking to you once.

How he met you: You were his deskmate in the academy. He had no real opinion of you, seeing you as just another classmate who happened to not bother him. But Linhardt did notice that you would glance at him often during class, however whenever class ended instead of you going to bother him, you would disappear. Linhardt never saw you out of class, it was almost as if you were a ghost. It did pique his interest.

Why does Linhardt like you: You came across as shy and quiet which is what he thought you were always like until both of you grew closer, discovering that the real you, around close people Linhardt notices you laugh at some of the oddest things and when you get excited, you tend to talk faster and with your whole body. You are a ball of energy that Linhardt can’t understand how you have so much of it in you, but he enjoys it.

༓Casper von Bergliez Would he or would he not confess to you, and why: Would he or would he not confess to you, and why: It would never cross Casper's mind to not tell you and he doesn’t hold back either, saying it in a rush from excitement, coming across like a big wave that’s ready to knock you back. Casper isn’t quiet or secretive about it, loudly confessing to you in public.

Do people/you notice if he treats you differently: Casper might not notice what he’s doing and the meaning of his actions. But other people see it differently. Casper is friendly but is never as physically affectionate towards people the way he is with you, at the end of the day.

The way he treats you differently: He’ll always want to spend time with you and invite you to places with him, not knowing that some of the places you’re invited to could be mistaken for a date. Casper wants to show off his skill in battle. Casper knows that he has a habit of rushing into things and not using his indoor voice usually which he’ll try to fix around you. He doesn’t want to come across as reckless and unreliable to you. .

How he met you: He only met you because he ended up saving you on the battlefield where you were cornered by enemies. Casper was able to save you and only got a thank you in response as you never told him  your name despite Casper telling you his. The second time he met you is when Casper saved you again by catching you from falling down a hill. 

You’ve caught Casper’s attention a few times because you almost seem to be in trouble and in need of saving. It didn’t take long before he worried that you were a danger to yourself and Casper decided to stay by your side to protect you.

Why does Casper like you: Casper realized that despite being clumsy, you are rather skilled on the battlefield and possess another talent. But you dislike having the pressure of responsibility on you, attempting to hide under the radar to avoid it. He doesn’t understand why you do it, although he’ll never question you about it. Both of you are opposite when it comes to personality and that might be a good thing. Casper’s personality has a habit of making you come out of your shell which he adores, wanting people to see the true you, while you help him calm down and slow down, telling him that life isn’t a race.

༓Ferdinand von Aegir Would he or would he not confess to you, and why: It would depend on his age, but when he would do, it would be done in a long roundabout way as he wants to build the mood and up it to the nine with romance, wanting to make it as memorable as possible. He’ll take you somewhere it can be only both of you with a beautiful setting as Ferdinand gets down on one knee and confesses his love.

Do people/you notice if he treats you differently: Everyone notices it, probably even you. Ferdinand will ask you to be part of things, invite you to places, and openly admit that he wants to spend time with you. It’s both sweet and embarrassing.

The way he treats you differently: He will go out of his way to spend time or talk with you, get you gifts, and ask if you would want to have tea together. Ferdinand is going to act like your lover before actually becoming it. He’ll also show off his skills and the benefits of being with a noble lover, that is if you guys are together by this point.

How he met you: It might have come as a surprise but you and your family work for his family as servants. You come from a family who has served the Aegir household forever. It is your future to work and serve Ferdinand as your parents do for him, and thus you often were around each other in youth.

Despite basically growing up at each other’s side, Neither of you became friends until both of you entered the academy. You’ve always caught his eye at times, not that he was sure as to why, assuming it was due to curiosity, but after becoming friends, Ferdinand realized it wasn’t curiosity and he wanted something deeper.

Why does Ferdinand like you: You are hardworking and fast when asked to do a job, everyone isn’t aware that you do it to get the job over with quickly, “the sooner you do it, the sooner it’s over'' is what you told Ferdinand once. Ferdinand learned that people don’t know how loyal to a fault you are, and that you are the type of perfectionist that if not done correctly will bother you or you prefer to just not do it at all. He is the only person that knows you are sentimental and how you look when blushing, a sight that Ferdinand has thankfully only seen. He finds you to be adorable.

༓Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd Would he or would he not confess to you, and why: He wouldn’t in either pre-skip or post-skip, never feeling like you should be with him because Dimitri believes that he isn’t a good person. It would be hard to have others talk him into confessing and even if you confess him first, Dimitri will be unsure of what to do. 

Do people/you notice if he treats you differently: People can tell even if he tries to hide it, not that anyone would ever make a comment about it, especially to Dimitri after the post-skip. 

The way he treats you differently: Unknowingly or not, Dimitri will always seek you out, just wanting to talk and be near you. People can tell he is more relaxed and less guarded around you. Dimitri is protective of you, especially on the battlefield where he will kill anyone that comes near you. Dimitri is soft and will end up grabbing your hand simply to hold and keep you by his side. 

How he met you: Both of you met in the pre-skip, but never talked until post-skip. You, during pre-skip, was the child of a blacksmith and often brought all of your parents' recently made weapons to the armory and Dimitri saw you sometimes run by. He met you after you took over your parents’ business and became a blacksmith. 

Dimitri’s strongest memory of meeting you officially after you became a blacksmith and where you ended up yelling at him for breaking your good quality weapons. It was the first time in a long time that Dimitri was scolded over such a trivial thing

Why does Dimitri like you: He enjoyed being around you, felt a little less like a monster and a little more like a man, and during the time together, Dimitri didn’t look to the past but to the present and future with you.

༓Sylvain Jose Gautier Would he or would he not confess to you, and why: Sylvain wouldn’t tell you for either two reasons, first is the fear of rejection and the second is not wanting to open himself up. If he did confess it was an accident, otherwise you will have to confess first or force it out of him.

Do people/you notice if he treats you differently: Even if Sylvain doesn’t tell you that he loves you, it’s a little noticeable when paying attention to how he treats others compared to you.

The way he treats you differently: He’ll go out of his way to make sure you are comfortable and will be the first to know something is wrong. Sylvain wants to be the first person you go to for comfort. He will flirt with you, and go out of his way to make you smile and want more, however, Sylvain will back away if he feels that you are attempting to get closer.

How he met you: He has known you since childhood where the first encounter ended up with you punching him because he made your friend cry. Sylvain kept an eye on you after that, curious about where a kid learned to hit like that.

Why does Sylvain like you: You don’t see the appeal of having crests and why it’s needed to affect the importance of someone. From his first encounter with you, he knows firsthand that you aren’t afraid to stand up for people and are rather protective of loved ones. You are someone that Sylvain can’t help but awe at, especially when you show off confidence. It might be odd to say as well that Sylvain finds it attractive when you win against him in a fight and show off a smug smirk in response.

༓Felix Hugo Fraldarius Would he or would he not confess to you, and why: Felix wouldn’t see a need in confessing if there was nothing that made him feel like he should. He was fine with the current relationship you both have, not that you are even sure what it is. 

Do people/you notice if he treats you differently: People who know Felix could tell that you are special to him. Felix was almost different around you, softer, less aggressive in speech and behavior, and more calm. Even he noticed it, not that Felix cared to do anything about it because it bothered no one, and he wanted you to only see this side of him. 

The way he treats you differently: Felix would always offer to help whenever a problem showed up, small or big and even if it was an inconvenience for him. It also went without saying that he is protective of you as well. Felix wanted you to feel safe and protected, especially around him if possible. He saw no problem with getting injured if it meant you didn’t.

How he met you: It was during the academy years when he noticed you who caught his eye. You were bubbly and friendly, and seemed like the type of person who would easily tire him out, and as such Felix had no interest in getting to know you but he could never take his eyes off of you.

Why does Felix like you: Bubbly and friendly, and someone that can bring a smile out of Felix. He, himself, isn’t sure why but around you Felix acts and feels different, relaxed and composed and as if not angry at the world. Felix feels the most happy when he is with you.

༓Ashe Ubert Would he or would he not confess to you, and why: It would both depend on the mood settling and how strongly he feels towards you. But it’s doubtful because Ashe would be stuck in his head about whether you would be interested in someone like him or chicken out at other times. He wouldn’t mind if you confessed his first, might even be relieved as it takes the anxiety off of him.

Do people/you notice if he treats you differently: It’s hard to say because Ashe is naturally a kind and thoughtful person to everyone and he doesn’t treat you any differently. Ashe gives off a house-husband vibe to anyone that sees him next to you.

The way he treats you differently: He would make you handmade snacks and reply with a smile that he felt like you just needed some, no real reason. Ashe will share and talk to you about his favorite books, and even about his dreams and anxieties. Ashe will be so soft on you that it’s incredible. He will want you to get along with his siblings. He will also want to practice his fighting skills, and might even learn some medical knowledge in case you get injured.

How he met you: He saw you a lot around Lord Loanto’s house because you were best friends with his son, Christophe, and usually ended with Ashe watching you in curiosity. But he didn’t talk to you until both Lord Loanto and Christophe forced him into doing it. His little siblings got to know you before he did.

He almost always saw you laughing freely and goofing off with Christophe but didn’t talk to you until both Christophe and Lord Loanto’s death when you reached out to him which Ashe accepted because he knew you loved them like family as well. After that, you guys got closer, enough that you would help him and his siblings when needed. The day he heard you got injured on a battlefield where Ashe wasn’t, he felt sick to his stomach and desperately needed to see you where Ashe helped you get better, and that’s when he knew about his feelings.

Why does Ashe like you: It was around after the death of both Christophe and Lord Loanto and when you stayed by his side is when Ashe started to realize the depth of his feelings for you. Ashe thinks you are kind and thoughtful, and he knows how people can mistake that for being foolish or weak, but Ashe is the only one that knows the truth about how clever and intelligent you are

༓Dedue Molinaro Would he or would he not confess to you, and why: Dedue would not as he feels it would make you uncomfortable by having a man with his background be in love with you. He’ll still have feelings for you, but will never act on them nor confess unless you do first.

Do people/you notice if he treats you differently: No one besides Dimitri can tell, Dedue is also aware of his behavior towards you and knows that he shouldn’t do this because it will end up hurting both of you - him for rejection and you for having to deal with a man like him. Dimitri is quick to shut down that mindset.

The way he treats you differently: He is gentle and more talkative around you, wanting to know you better and listening to your voice. Dedue will offer his help all the time even if it’s not needed, and he will always protect you - on and off the battlefield. Which ends up with you taking care of his injuries, usually ending up with both of you blushing, quite adorable.

How he met you: Dedue has seen you often, specifically either in the greenhouse or planting flowers. However, neither of you talked to each other until Dedue saw firsthand you getting scared by a cat that jumped out of nowhere and made you trip over an empty flower pot in surprise.

Why does Dedue like you: Dedue felt genuinely peaceful around you and never felt awkward if there was silence between you. He didn’t realize how he felt towards you until Dedue both had a panic attack when you got injured badly and when he accidentally almost called you by the nickname Petal affectionately.

༓Claude von Riegan Would he or would he not confess to you, and why: He would but do it in a way that sounds like he is half serious and half joking, tricking you a little into being the one to confess first because of that. Claude will apologize with a smile if you point out his trick, but it’s hard to tell if his apology is genuine.

Do people/you notice if he treats you differently: His friends and loved one will notice, and everyone else Claude will be more careful of behaving, cautious of what people would do with the information of Claude being fond of you.

The way he treats you differently: Claude will go to you first for thoughts and ideas on his plans, always wanting to hear your thoughts and make you part of big choices. He will not miss a chance to be playful or flirtatious towards you, it might even end up with you lightly smacking his arm in response because of it. Claude will take you flying on his wyvern, either to your delight or horror. He will show off his skills, brain or brawn, or something else, if he has the skill, he is going to attempt to impress you. He might even try to teach you how to use the bow if you don’t do archery. Also depending on where he is going without you, Claude will come back with small gifts.

How he met you: You are a personal guard that his parents assigned to him after he left for the academy and even then you stuck by his side. Claude didn’t have an interest in you, only knowing the benefits of coming with you. Or at least before you punched a student in the face after they made a racial comment about him.

Why does Claude like you: Claude has fun teasing you. His favorite was watching you run around in panic when he would disappear from your sight. You were so businesslike and serious about your duty that Claude couldn’t help but attempt to get under your skin, something that he was successful at.

༓Lorenz Hellman Gloucester Would he or would he not confess to you, and why: It depends on pre-skip or post-skip and your social status. If it was when Lorenz was in the academy, he might not if you weren’t a noble but if you were, Lorenz would without a second thought. He would regardless of your social status after post-skip where he realizes that social class doesn’t matter. 

Do people/you notice if he treats you differently: People can tell that he is fond of you but mistake it as friendship rather than romantically while Lorenz, himself, is in denial of such behavior.

The way he treats you differently: He will brag about his nobility status and won’t understand why you would get annoyed if he kept doing it all the time, but he would try to stop or do it less around you. Lorenz doesn’t want to do anything that might make you dislike him. He will help you with work, invite you to parties or invite you to tea drinks, and often gift you with flowers. It does go without saying that he will flirt with you, maybe even a bit more hardcore than with others.

How he met you: It was because his parents thought it would be a good idea to pick him as a future partner and you were one of his future partner options, not that you wanted that, Lorenz would later learn that your parents did it without permission.

Why does Lorenz like you: He has never met someone as rebellious and reckless as you are, and sometimes it surprises him. He has never had a noble like you, and despite Lorenz saying how a noble shouldn’t do that, he can’t help but take hold of your hand when it’s reached out to him as you plan to sneak off somewhere. You are such a free spirit and breath of fresh air, and Lorenz wouldn’t admit it but he would do anything that you asked of him if it brought out that mischievous smile of yours.

༓Raphael Kirsten Would he or would he not confess to you, and why: Raphael would in the most eye-catching but cute way possible, like confessing to you loudly while holding a bouquet of both flowers that you like and that reminds him of you.

Do people/you notice if he treats you differently: People can see how much he likes you and find it adorable, almost too cute in a sweet sickly way.

The way he treats you differently: He is so sweet and tries his best to show how much he cares about you. He will compliment your cooking and will help you with shopping and picking things up. Raphael loves when you laugh and will find ways to make you laugh. Raphael enjoys being physically affectionate, specifically hugs and he is just a big teddy bear around you. He will also show off his muscles and battle skills and will try his best to not get hurt much so you won’t worry.

How he met you: He was helping with moving heavy food boxes that others couldn't lift when he met you. Other cooks told Raphael that you're one of the young cooks in training. But all he could really think about was how good you smelled from cooking, sweet like honey.

Why does Raphael like you: Raphael finds you to be rather cute like a small rabbit or little mouse as you tend to shy away from some people. He knows how sweet and thoughtful you are, and how openly you laugh with him. Raphael's feelings for you deepened when you made a free birthday cake for his sister when he wasn't sure if he could afford to buy and order one on time for her. Raphael is hopelessly in love with you.

༓Ignatz Victor Would he or would he not confess to you, and why: He would while being a little shy about it right before saying something romantic like a switch was flipped. 

Do people/you notice if he treats you differently: Yes, it would almost be amazing if no one could tell, especially when they see how romantic and gentlemanly he is

The way he treats you differently: He is beyond gentlemanly and polite while saying the most romantic and heart-racing words as if it's a normal and casual thing ever. Ignatz will give you his coat if you’re cold and anything else if that’s not enough. If you want to hold hands he will go further by placing kisses on the back of it while staring directly into your eyes. Ignatz will at some point have made an art piece for you as well.

How he met you: He met you at a craft store, looking for paint supplies where both of you talked for a good bit about the different styles of art, not realizing until after he left that you are the owner of the store.

Why does Ignatz like you: The first thing was about your knowledge of art and how comfortable it was to talk with you, not feeling so anxious about people knowing he paints. Ignatz liked the way your eyes would light up when a subject you loved came up and how when you became passionate enough you would talk with your hands which ended with you knocking stuff over at one point. Ignatz respected you a lot and hoped that you felt the same way before realizing that you also felt a different way when you were the one who asked him out.

༓Seteth  Would he or would he not confess to you, and why: He wouldn’t think about it because of how busy he is, Seteth enjoys just being around you. The only way he’ll end up confessing is because of Flayn who is beyond excited at the idea of him falling in love with one of her favorite people.

Do people/you notice if he treats you differently: It’s impossible to not notice how different he treats you. People are almost jealous because he gives you more freedom than anyone has ever seen, a thing that makes Flayn a little jealous as well.

The way he treats you differently: Less strict by a lot, you could probably do something like dropping coffee on him and Seteth will state how common it is to make mistakes. He will become fiercely protective of you like Flayn and depending on how reckless you are might end up destroying his nerves from how anxious he’ll become. Seteth will also find time in his day to spend time with you.

How he met you: He knew of you, a famous child book author and one of Flayn’s favorites, but didn’t officially meet until you stopped by the church and explained how you are here to read for the children. Seteth thought you were a good person and that was it. He had no plan to talk with you until Flayn begged him to get your signature, she was too shy, and during it, both of you ended up talking.

Why does Seteth like you: Seteth found it to be quite enjoyable, he liked it the most when you would laugh. Sometimes both of you would seek the other out to have another talk, able to talk about a subject for a long period. He would often ask questions to get to know about you and Seteth would try his best to answer your questions. He will also catch notice of how you behave around Flayn or the children, especially when reading to them which would bring a smile to his face. Flynn also talked his ears off about you as well.

༓Hanneman von Essar Would he or would he not confess to you, and why: Hanneman would, but the way he goes about doing it can depend on the situation, if it is during a peaceful moment he will go about it a little romantically while if it is during an anxious moment, Hanneman will reveal his feelings to you in a blunt manner.

Do people/you notice if he treats you differently: He is polite and composed around you, unlike how Hanneman is around Manuela. He is sweet towards you, sometimes seen with a small blush whenever talking to you. Hanneman has gotten tired of acting like a young schoolboy.

The way he treats you differently: It will vary, he'll be such a gentleman to you and even romantic at times but is quick to become stiff if pointed out. Hanneman wants to show that he cares for you deeply but the past between you two can make it feel awkward.

How he met you: You were introduced as his future mentor in the past, before Hanneman left to go to the academy, and as such he spent a lot of time around you. The relationship on the surface was professional and strictly coworker appropriate. The truth is that both of you came to care for one another and couldn't help but desire to be together, and when you did, it didn't last long since Hanneman was planning to leave to go work at the academy while you decided to stay instead of go with him, and the relationship ended.

Why does Hanneman like you: He doesn't like you, no, in fact, Hanneman loves you deeply but because of what happened, he isn't sure if you would want to be more. He loves how intelligent you are, and how focused you'll get on something

༓Cyril  Would he or would he not confess to you, and why: Cyril will confess in the most casual, unromantic way possible. He just isn’t sure how to go about it, he didn’t want to be seen as a kid for asking for help from others.

Do people/you notice if he treats you differently: People will notice how more open he is around you, freely showing his emotions. It’s a pleasant surprise.

The way he treats you differently: He will push off on doing his work later just so he can spend more time with you. Cyril is still a busy bee so don’t expect either of you to be lazy around the day, even on dates. Cyril will be physically affectionate if you desire, otherwise, he won’t see the appeal in it. His love language is quality time, just wanting to be with you, not caring if you guys do anything together.

How he met you: People would say you grew up with each other, not that either of you spent time together. You were the child of a knight in Cyril’s mind while he was just a boy. It is too serious for his age to be what you thought, and both of you usually ended up having arguments. When each of you got older, the fighting happened less and less and ended up enjoying being around one another. It wouldn’t be surprising if you guys were seen together throughout the day usually.

Why does Cyril like you: You are hardworking when it comes to your job, friendly and understanding when it comes to your friends, and beyond stubborn when it comes to arguments with Cyril. Maybe it is because he has known you since childhood, but you are one of the few people he feels comfortable with, and doesn’t feel the need to show off his skills to become acknowledged as an adult.

༓Jeritza  Would he or would he not confess to you, and why: Probably wouldn’t if not talked into it or if you don’t confess first. But even if he didn’t, Jeritza wouldn’t want you to get with anyone else and silently threaten anyone who dared to think so.

Do people/you notice if he treats you differently: Yes, simple as that. He will like to stay by your side be it at parties, just places in generals, or on the battlefield.

The way he treats you differently: One is that he enjoys being by your side regardless of probably wherever and becomes more talkative when it comes to you. You are one of the few people that don’t annoy him and make Jeritza immediately want to kill. The big major one is that he will share or give you his sweets which if that doesn’t make you realize how he feels about you then you don’t know him that well. Jeritza will also kill someone without question if you ask him to, and maybe even if you don’t. Jeritza might not do many things that one would see as romantic or make you seem special, but he is going to try his best.

How he met you: You guys officially met when Mercedes introduced you as a good friend and usually end up spending time together after Mercedes suggested it would be good for him to make more friends and you were a good person to start with.

Why does Jeritza like you: He will be at peace and relaxed when around you. You are gentle and give off a motherly aura, and never question why Jeritza is the way he is, instead just giving a smile. He isn’t sure why but one of his favorite things about you is your touch, specifically hugs, as it feels like you have wrapped him up in a blanket of warmth and love, and he can’t help but crave it.

༓Yuri Leclerc Would he or would he not confess to you, and why: Only if he is in a situation where he is 100% sure you feel the same or in an area where there aren’t many people in case he is rejected. Yuri won’t put himself in a situation where he isn’t sure if he won’t win.

Do people/you notice if he treats you differently: Some people might, mainly his friends or classmates, but it isn’t that different from his usual behavior.

The way he treats you differently: Will up his flirt game with you, almost straight up seducing you by how he’ll be a tease with his touches and talking to you in a low whisper, only for your ears. He will quickly back off at the first sight of discomfort because even though he acts like that, Yuri does genuinely like you and doesn’t want to upset you. Yuri will let you do his makeup if you want and do yours if you ask for the same. He is protective but will make sure you don’t know that because his method of protecting you is usually threatening other people and might do it with a smile.

How he met you: He met you when you were surrounded by some thugs who noticed that you’re a little too nicely dressed to be out in the lower town area at night, and Yuri ends up saving you. Afterward, Yuri tells you to go home, insulting you a little because you were being reckless, especially for a noble. Yuri made sure to safely follow you home. 

After the encounter with you, Yuri discovered you are the child of the man that he is meant to destroy their life. He didn’t plan to meet you again, but when he saw you at a noble party, where Yuri uses his social status to get into it, he couldn’t help but ask you for a dance.

Why does Yuri like you: Yuri finds your snarky nature to be amusing, it adds to the fuel of his desire to mess with you. He likes your curious nature but hates when you get into harmful and reckless situations. One of the reasons is that he isn’t sure if he’ll be there to save you all the time. In the beginning, being around you made him feel like a regular guy and not a sinful man. You feel at home and it’s been a long time since Yuri felt like that

༓Balthus von Albrecht Would he or would he not confess to you, and why: He would, seeing no reason as to why he shouldn’t. Balthus doesn’t want to make you uncomfortable but he will want to let you know where he stands and what he wants from this relationship. Balthus will give you time to decide on what to do, yet he’ll act like he didn’t just confess his feelings to you a few days ago.

Do people/you/ notice if he treats you differently: His friends will notice that Balthus is more friendly and often wants to hang out alone, but anyone else might have difficulty telling because he doesn’t treat you too differently from others.

The way he treats you differently: Friendly and honest, and will tell you that he enjoys spending time with you more than anyone else. He is protective of you, not wanting anyone of bad nature to come near you but he will not baby you nor hold you back. He’ll be there for you, but always let you have your freedom. Balthus will get you gifts randomly if he sees something that you might like, instead of using the money to pay off his debt.

How he met you: If it wasn’t for the fact that Balthus felt like gambling, he never would’ve met you. You were one of his opponents in the game, a dangerous foe, and someone who won all of his money. Instead of showing off or being rude to him, you invited Balthus out for a few drinks since you had just “earned some new money”
