#owainbrady

they are the most touchy-feely couple. It’s not even a conscious decision; they’re just always holding hands, whether it be after a battle or around the campfire or brady is crying and owain is giving some speech. usually it’s holding hands, but if they can’t for some reason, they’re standing close to each other and touching some other way

owain takes to always carrying around handkerchiefs for brady bc he cries so often, as well as allergy medication and other miscellaneous items

brady always chides owain whenever owain gets hurt, especially after battle, but he always does this while crying and fusses a lot over owain too

he acts like owain is the one always hurt but it’s more like when owain is hurt, he’s hurt badly, and that makes brady very distraught. in reality, it’s brady who sprains his ankle or catches a fever ever other day. owain watches over him then

brady canonically told stories about owain’s exploits to children in the bad timeline to cheer the kids up. that’s not a hc, that’s just cute

owain convinces brady to give a lot of things a try that brady normally would not do on his own/feels encouraged to do only because owain is with him. on the flipside, brady reels owain back down to earth and keeps owain from acting out/doing dangerous things

please see that scene at the end of the future past dlc where owain is going to sacrifice himself (and probably die) to make sure brady, yarne, and inigo get across the bridge and the only reason he doesn’t is because inigo refuses to let him. brady and yarne get stranded on the safer side of the bridge, and after the battle is over owain promises brady he’ll never do anything like that again bc brady is so distraught. (granted so is everyone else, but Still)

generally brady is the little spoon but there have been occasions where owain is the smaller spoon instead

keep in mind brady is tall even with his slouch and owain (in my hc) is not

speaking of which, brady canonically slouches to look old ladies and children in the eye when they speak. the hc part is that owain helps him do stretches so he doesn’t hurt his back from slouching so much

for owain’s birthday one year brady composes a song on his violin like owain is always bugging him to do but this time he dedicates it to owain and calls it owain’s theme song. owain gushes about it for 30 straight minutes afterwards
