1000% brings you pretty trinkets he finds on jobs that remind him of you. particularly likes to collect necklaces and rings made with your favorite gem

in public settings, he is fond of subtle physical touch. a hand along your lower back, brushing the hair away from your face, kissing your hand or cheek when you have to part ways. in private though? definitely not as subtle

he likes slow, long kisses. the kind where you're both practically gasping for air afterwards. he thinks you just look too cute when you're all flushed and breathless

takes you out on dates a lot. going out for a fancy meal, or a swim at the lake when it's hot out, or finding a nice rooftop to stargaze. even when you're both busy and barely have the time, he will squeeze something in - it's mandatory to him

leaves you lil folded handwritten notes on your desk or bed when you have to work away from each other. some of them probably cheesy as hell

when you're cuddling he almost always ends up spooning you. he just loves having you curled up against him, your back against his chest, fitting perfectly in his arms

frequently gifts you flowers. bouqets, bundles, sometimes a random single one he picked out on a walk or something. "i saw this and thought of you"

he's incapable of simple, short hugs. bear hugs are the default, the kind where his arms just envelope you and give you a firm squeeze. and if he sees you for the first time after not seeing you for an eternity (or like, two days by farkas standards), he will greet you with a pick-you-up-and-spin-you-around hug

awful singer but he likes to sing or hum along with you anytime he catches you doing so

he lovesss to lay his head in your lap. bonus points if you play with his hair during. he can very easily doze off right then and there

will instinctively hold your hand when you are in a remotely crowded area or exploring someplace dark ane unfamiliar. you will not be separated at any cost

he becomes extra motivated for workouts and exercise when you keep him company. probably asks you to do that thing where you sit on his back while he does push-ups

he's an early early bird and almost always wakes up before you, but uses that time to grab you some breakfast

loves to grab your chin when he kisses you. gently of course (unless you're giving him a reason to catch you by surprise)

lil bit of the jealous type. if he so much as sees someone else looking at you while you're out together, he'll tug you closer and won't let you out of his sight

grumbles a protest if you call him something soft like "cute" or "handsome" but secretly eats it up. will still think about it for days to come, actually

he's a quality time fanatic. even if its something simple at home, like reading your own books in comfortable silence, your head leaning on his shoulder

usually serious but has his own little games he plays with you. like if you ask him to hand something to you, he'll do so but not without a lil game of tug-of-war. or he'll be like "hold still, there's something in your hair", only to ruffle his hand through it and mess it up even more

turns into a big grumpy baby when the weather is too cold/wet. his mood improves drastically if it means you get to stop somewhere and you can snuggle up together to get warm

he's an amazing storyteller and an even better listener. he lives for late night chats where you spend hours swapping stories with each other

he has good, strong hands and therefore is excellent at massages. he'll gladly help you work out any stiff or sore muscles you have

will sneakily buy things he sees you ogling in shops or on market strolls and surprise you with them later

if he's bored he'll provoke you into a sparring match, where he manages to balance actual practice and playful teasing. sometimes he lets you win (and it's definitely not in hopes that you'll end up pinning him down)

he loves whenever you wear something of his, like his scarf or shirt. just gives him a lil burst of tender possessiveness that never fails to make him grin. "you can keep it - looks better on you anyway."

he is touch starved to the max. for this reason he practically melts into any physical contact you give him, no matter how big or small

commits to learning how to cook solely to be able to prepare your favorite meals after you've had a bad day

he greatly enjoys and is comforted by the weight of your body against his, like pressure therapy. he'll ask you to lay your legs across his when you're sitting next to each other or sometimes he'll just straight up ask you to lie on top of him completely. and don't even try to protest you'll "crush" him - he's a big guy, he can take it

his favorite kisses are forehead ones and he will dish them out on you regularly

becomes very, very protective when you get injured, sick, or anything of the sort. he will hover like an obsessive mother and scold you like one if you try anything out of your limitations. would do literally anything you ask him to do (but trust, you won't need to)

he's already a bit of a clingy sleeper but will bring you even closer when he struggles with nightmares. it's easier to forget them when he has you - his salvation - wrapped up in his arms, soothed by your presence

when you stop at an inn or tavern where there's a bard, he'll either request your favorite song, or a song you hate. depends on how much he wants to mess with you

does gentlemanly things for you without even thinking about it. holds doors open to let you in first, pulls out chairs and stools for you to sit on, offers you the first bite of a shared meal. it's like second nature to him

prides himself on smelling good and thrives off any compliments you give him about it. he'd definitely buy overpriced fancy soaps and scents from markets and shops

he likes to draw in his downtime. usually just studious sketches of buildings or foliage but occasionally he'll draw you. he especially likes to capture you doing mundane lil things like watching a sunset or fixing your hair

sometimes he'll accidentally hit you with his magic in battle but he'll immediately be on you again with a healing spell. he'll either mumble out hurried apologies or call you an idiot (affectionately) for getting in his way

He just looks perpetually unimpressed no matter where I tote him around in my purse

The first three seconds of my fic's AMV trailer! This is going to take... a while.
