Since he's technically an accountant....I assume he has an area to himself somewhere in the shop, right? Maybe if Ken was feeling generous. Either way, he feels most comfortable in private. As I mentioned before, he doesn't outright avoid PDA. It's just in small gestures. In private though? He's much more comfortable.

I feel like he's a relaxed but clingy cuddler. He could act like he doesn't gaf, he's lying on some old couch with you resting on his chest, maybe one of his legs is hanging off the couch or they're both propped up, one arm loosely around you, a cigarette in his mouth. But!! As soon as you try to get up, he's not letting you go. Nuh uh.

"Where do ya' think you're going, eh? We just got 'er."

Like I said, all his layers make him surprisingly warm. He's been sleeping on that meat hook for long enough, it's a nice change to have someone to hold onto at night. He's basically a good cuddler for when it's cold out in Gaslight District, usually during the chilly nights.

If you fall asleep on him, he naturally doesn't move. Not an inch. It doesn't matter how uncomfortable he is, he doesn't want to wake you. When you're awake, he'll definitely complain about it though — about how he was in an awkward position, his neck bones aching, you drooling on him, grumbling and whining. It's all for show, don't worry. Don't mention how you felt him stroking your hair, or running his fingers along your side as you slept. That was a dream!

After spending so much time with him, cuddling is an instant stress reliever. After a long day of arguing with his brother, yelling at Mel not to mess up his shot, all he wants is to sit down and rest. He'll take a seat on his old, ripped-up couch, throwing himself on it like a sack of bones. He'll pat the spot beside him without even glancing your way, just silently hoping you take a seat next to him. When he feels you curl up beside his shoulder, he lets himself sigh out, wrapping an arm around you.

Damn…that dagger went really deep in your upper chest and the wound was very wide and went all the way down near your stomach but you weren’t able to get it out and the other stab wounds weren’t really helping either, thankfully you still had enough strength to walk to the Whale Belly Butcher shop before you collapsed on the floor from losing a lot of blood, out wishing that you could just heal faster..

~🔪Ken The Butcher🔪~

“WHAT THE HELL IS GOing….”

Ken really didn’t expect this to happen at all, you told him that you were going to be more careful and THIS is what he sees in front of him!?

He could carry you bridal style into the freezer room, pushes everything on the side on the table and carefully places you down trying not to cause any more pain then you already are.

Ken is REALLY careful with wrapping the bandages on you, checking for any signs of flinching from pain. After he’s done with that he slaps you at the back of your head basically as a scolding you for not being more careful, He knows that you can heal yourself but the healing process is way too slow.

He still allows you to go out and do your job, just not without someone watching you because after that little fiasco he’s not letting do solos anymore (he’s just worried for ya that’s all.)

~🍞Breadhead🍞~

“Are you- what happened!?”

Breadhead would be panicking a lot even though he knows you’re going to be alright when you slowly heal but you basically were bleeding out on the floor in front of everyone

He rushes towards you and places you down where he usually plays the piano and uses his jacket to apply pressure to at least stop your chest wound from bleeding more. Even though your vision is a little blurry thanks to blood loss you can still see Breadhead’s worried puppy eyed face as he still presses his jacket on your chest

He can’t control his strength sometimes whenever he’s stressed or upset so when he puts pressure on your wound you yelped in pain and that caused him to rapidly apologize but you reassured him that you were okay by giving him some pats on the head

Some hours after you’re healed finally, you still needed to at least get Breadhead to stop keeping you in place after you just got injured since he’s still scared that you’ll get hurt really bad again but he did eventually let you go. but still makes sure that when you come back you’re not very injured

~👑Mel👑~

“Oh…”

Mel gets really concerned with you since you slowly heal and all but she doesn’t panic that much since this isn’t the first time someone came here in a bloody mess so it’s a normal Wednesday for her but with you it’s slightly a little bit different for Mel.

Mel lifts you up with just one arm and takes you to her room where she has some extra bandages that she has for occasions whenever her bandages are starting to get loose or rips open, just like her dad she’s very careful with you and seems to look like she knows what she’s doing.

Mel now secretly follows you when your on a mission making sure you don’t get hurt that badly again after what happened (totally not in a creepy stalker way of looking after you)

~🚬Mud🚬~

“Oh boy…”

Mud is a mixture of worry and slight disappointment, very disappointed but a little worried. But eh, he’s seen worse in his time

He would tell you to focus on your heart rate and breathing so that you won’t lose anymore blood, the more you panic the more blood that you’ll lose if you keep focusing on that deep wound of yours. After you calm down causing the wound starts to bleed more slowly but didn’t stop, Mud would leave you for just a moment to get bandages.

He never wants to sleep in the freezer ever again. I mentioned before that ever since you got together, he started staying over at your place if you have one, or at least sleeping near you. He’d make any excuse to not sleep back there ever again. But now that you’re married? Absolutely not. He’ll want to share a place of your own together.

Also! Your wedding isn’t anything formal (or normal). He’ll try to arrange some small family event that ends up in chaos. He insists on wearing your best outfit (matching btw) from now on he’s introducing you as his spouse and THEN your name.

The wedding was supposed to be a little get together at the shop. Ken was cooking up something begrudgingly, Mel and Breadhead putting up small decorations. Ken is glad old Mud was able to find someone, maybe finally he’ll calm down a little and work a little harder at the shop. If you got to the point where you’re marrying his brother, it means he likes you enough too.

Anyways in the middle of the party it gets raided by some other rivals. The whole place gets stained with purple. Gun shots, explosions, brains out everywhere. Mud seems to fall harder if you fight by his side. Your outfits are ruined but oh well! He likes the purple on you. He’d do a maniac little laugh at the end of it then scoop you up and kiss you. It’s in the most uncomfortable position for you since he’s so slippery and probably bent all weird, but its special in its own way.

Matching rings! He definitely has your name or initials carved on the inside of the ring, never takes it off. He didn’t tell you but his name is carved in yours too :3 if you forget to wear it or take it off for a second he’s immediately interrogating you.

“Hey… so uh, where’s your ring?” As he pulls up your hand to REALLY inspect your fingers. He’ll get all grumbly about it too.
