boyfriend!August whose nails are always chipped from work, but he still asks you to paint them in a colour or design that matches yours.

boyfriend!August who needs you to teach him how to relax. he needs you to coax him out of his chair and force him to take a break, or else he'll just keep going until he burns himself out. his favourite is when you let him take a short nap with his head in your lap, or even completely flopped on top of you.

boyfriend!August who’s nearly moved to tears when he finds you and Eisha doing crafts together one evening, both with different colour schemes for your beads. you made a beaded keychain for him, and he kept it attached to his work overalls permanently ever since.

boyfriend!August who shamelessly grins as he lifts your shirt in his workshop, insisting he needs to measure you under your clothes (as if he doesn’t already know all your measurements by heart).

boyfriend!August who is SO loud about his love for you. there’ll be no doubt where his heart is, EVERYONE knows.

edit: consider this an interest check for a fic

he doesn’t quite see the problem when you try, after days of no contact, to kindly explain that 1) that is not a good way to communicate with someone you’re trying to date, and 2) it sounds mildly like a threat.

“I’ll just find you when I’m free to go out,” he tries to explain himself.

“what if I’m not ready? or... free?”

“I’ll wait outside until you are.”
