I'd like some Gridlock dating headcanons, you can go as fluffy or smutty as you want!
Aye Gridlock is so underrated man, thank you for the request😭💖
• Doting. Did you pack everything you need for that trip? Are you dressed warm enough? Have you eaten? She often checks up on you during the day, asks some simple questions and nods when your answers are satisfying. When she's not there but somewhere abroad then it's text messages and calls. May seem overbearing, but that's just how she loves: Caring for the other and finding peace in knowing they're alright.
• But love is much more than words and she's ought to learn, learn how to ease into and give physical affections.
• She may be more passive in the relationship at first, there are touches on your shoulder to encourage or on your head to praise, but nothing much beyond that.
• There's no animosity towards physical contact, but rather... Astonishment. When a kiss lands on her cheek she'll turn with round eyes, takes her some time to realise where it came from and what it meant.
• Initial surprise turns into a warm chuckle and then, a smile lasting throughout the day. With receiving comes giving, a comfortable balance in your relationship.
• Other than that, dating Gridlock also involves dating Mozzie, cause that little man is nosy and very intent on making sure nobody hurts his friend.
• You might be on a date with Gridlock when her eyes trail behind you and she sighs, excuses herself for a minute. You turn around and barely get a glance of her dragging a badly disguised Mozzie outside. Best not to interfere there.
• After that "incident", you two can now enjoy dates without being watched, or in your case, being evaluated and judged.
• Just give him time, he's ought to accept that Gridlock is happy and he's worrying over nothing.
• And when he does come around, he can make for a good friend: playing cards and drinking beer, or whatever your favourite drink is (no, he totally did not ask Gridlock so he could buy it for you), chatting and relaxing. Evenings where the three of you can forget about whatever busy lives you live, if only for a couple of hours.
• That'll also be the evening she thanks you in all honesty: for being right here, with her. "Couldn't get any better", she'll say.
