Valko: No.

You: Then why have you been texting like this?

“Busy.”

“Later.”

“Stay inside tonight.”

You: That’s suspicious.

A minute passes.

Valko: Full moon.

You: Oh…

Valko: My instincts are louder than usual.

You: Meaning?

Valko: Meaning if I see you…

…

You: Yes?

Valko: I’ll want to keep you.

You: Keep me?

Valko: Somewhere safe.

You: That’s adorable.

- Neither of them would admit how much they rely on you.

- Ryland is the type to constantly check if you’re comfortable, fed, warm enough, and emotionally okay.

- Simon notices things too, but he expresses it differently. He’ll silently hand you a jacket when you’re cold or stand closer to you in crowded places.

- Together, they end up orbiting around you without realizing it.

- If you’re having a bad day, both of them immediately switch into problem-solving mode, just with very different approaches.

- Ryland asks twenty questions trying to help.

- Simon quietly sits beside you until you’re ready to talk.

- Ryland gets excited about literally everything.

- Simon pretends he isn’t interested but eventually gets dragged into conversations anyway.

- You once asked a simple question about stars and accidentally listened to Ryland lecture for forty-five minutes.

- Simon sat there the entire time pretending to be annoyed while secretly listening.

- Eventually you catch Simon using one of Ryland’s science facts in conversation.

- Ryland is insufferably proud of himself afterward.

- Neither of them particularly cares about expensive dates. Their favorite moments are quiet ones.

- Sharing breakfast.

- Falling asleep on the couch together.

- Late-night conversations when everyone should be asleep.

- Simon likes sitting in comfortable silence.

- Ryland likes filling that silence with random thoughts that somehow jump from biology to aliens to breakfast cereal.

- This is probably the biggest challenge in the relationship.

- Ryland tends to downplay his own importance.

- Simon carries enough guilt and emotional baggage to fill an entire cargo ship.

- Both struggle to understand why you chose them.

- You’ll catch them looking at you sometimes with this expression that says, “How are you real?”

- Reassurance becomes important.

- They remember every compliment you give them, even years later.

- Ryland is secretly very clingy. He loves physical affection once he’s comfortable. If you’re sitting together, eventually he’s leaning against you somehow.

- Simon is harder to read. At first he’s stiff and awkward about touch. Over time he becomes the type who unconsciously seeks you out.

- You’ll wake up and find Simon’s arm wrapped around your waist while Ryland is asleep with his head on your shoulder.

Ryland:

Makes you laugh when you’re upset. Leaves little notes around. Remembers every tiny detail you mention. Gets excited about your interests because you’re excited about them.

Simon:

Protects you without drawing attention to it. Watches your back in situations that make him nervous. Learns your routines and quietly helps. Gives affection through actions rather than words. Together, they balance each other surprisingly well.

- Ryland spirals outward and Simon spirals inward. You quickly learn the difference. Ryland talks through his fears. Simon goes quiet and withdraws.

- During those moments, the three of you develop an unspoken system.

- Ryland helps pull Simon out of his shell.

- Simon helps ground Ryland when his thoughts start racing.

- You help both of them remember they’re not alone.

- Ryland realizes it first in the middle of his day.

- You’re laughing at one of his terrible jokes, and suddenly he’s staring because he can’t imagine a future without you in it.

I am in love with the new LI that they announced yesterday so I had to work up some headcanons on dating him based off of first impressions. This is not canon as we don’t know a whole lot about him yet.

Zuko is an adult in these headcanons.

- kirishima is absolutely the kind of boyfriend who treats cuddling like a full-contact sport

- he’s draped over both of you the second everyone sits down

- he dramatically sighs about how “this is peak happiness right here.”

- bakugou pretends he hates how clingy kiri is but the moment you try to move away he’s immediately grabbing your wrist like “where the hell do you think you’re going.”

- kiri loves sandwich cuddles, he LOVES them, he thinks it’s the greatest invention known to mankind

- meanwhile bakugou runs warm naturally, so winter cuddles with him are unfairly nice

- his hands are always warm against your waist or under your shirt and he acts annoyed when you steal his body heat

- bakugou is secretly the most possessive cuddler. not in a toxic way, more like he always has one hand on you somewhere. your thigh, your back, his fingers hooked in your hoodie sleeve

- kirishima absolutely falls asleep first during movie nights, his face buried against your shoulder while bakugou complains about him drooling

- bakugou says cuddling is “fine” but then gets visibly irritated if either of you stop touching him while sleeping

- kiri is the king of forehead kisses

- bakugou prefers quiet affection, fixing blankets over you, tugging you closer without saying anything, resting his chin on your head while pretending he’s still watching the movie

- if you’re upset, kirishima gives you comforting cuddles, soft squeezes, rubs your back, and tells you everything’s gonna be okay

- bakugou handles comfort differently, he pulls you into his chest, tells everyone else to fuck off, and stays there in silence until you calm down

- the two of them together somehow create the safest feeling imaginable, kirishima makes you feel adored, and bakugou makes you feel protected

- sleepy bakugou is dangerous because he gets SO clingy, half-asleep grumbling while tightening his arms around your waist like you’re escaping prison

- kirishima absolutely takes selfies anytime the three of you accidentally fall asleep together

- bakugou threatens to delete them

You: I’m fine.

Valko: Your hands are freezing.

You: It’s called having bad circulation.

Valko: It’s called not wearing the jacket I handed you.

You: Fashion requires sacrifice.

Valko: Apparently mine requires babysitting.

…

Valko: Stay still.

You: Why?

He silently pulls you against his chest.

You: Valko…

Valko: Wolves solve this problem differently.

You: By kidnapping people?

Valko: By sharing body heat.

You: That’s… surprisingly sweet.

Valko: Don’t tell anyone.

You: Why?
