⋆ sometimes, when you can’t sleep (and if you get lucky,) he’ll get up and make “the best darn chocolate chip cookies you’ve ever tasted” with warm milk in a sippy for you to sip on. “But you can only have two, okay?” (You eat the whole batch and then some.)

⋆ Has a little palate fenced off right in front of the kitchen so he can watch you while he’s making breakfast, lunch, dinner, or preparing a little snack for you. He hates to take his eyes off you but also he’s really bad at multi-tasking.

⋆ Likes when you make him feel included in play, whether that’s you bringing him toys or him puppeteering your stuffies during wind-down time (before bed time)

⋆ You guys go on vacation to his parents house and the entire time he’s babying you and also showing you around his usual haunts. The spot to the left of the barn where he slept on hay and read comics. That well his glasses fell down (he thinks he can still see them,) his favorite cow who has yet to forget him, “Look, when she wiggles her right ear, she’s saying hi..”

⋆ Surprisingly very well organized- your drawers and his drawers are neatly folded and able to be closed all the way. He loves all your little rompers and his favorite outfit by far is your coveralls with the little brown and green striped shirt. He dresses you in it every chance he gets.

⋆ Both of you are early risers and late sleepers- those wee hours in the morning are spent stumbling through the house trying to wake each other up enough to start the morning. The night hours are spent sipping hot cocoa and snuggling up to one another while watching Kipper or Max and Ruby.

⋆ Absolutely terrified to take you on flights or anything of the sort. “What if there’s a fight and I have nowhere to put you? What if you get hurt while I’m fighting? What if something happens???”

⋆ Despite being well organized, there are multiple junk drawers in the kitchen. The only thing that’s organized in there is the silverware- and even then, that’s debatable.

⋆ Handy! Will definitely repair a toy you accidentally broke- and add new features to it of course.

⋆ On top of his journalism, he’s quite imaginative. Or maybe he just bases his bedtime stories off of whoever he fought that day. Either way they’re properly entertaining for you and leave you dreaming about saving the world every night.

⋆ He has a phone, but it’s cracked to hell and back and probably barely usable. Texting is a nightmare, and good luck calling because he probably dropped it in the toilet one too many times.

⋆ He has a pair of cowboy boots that he transports between Metropolis and Smallville. “They’re keepsakes.” He’d said with a breathy sigh, ghosting a thumb over the faded and worn leather. He catches you wobbling in them, completely engulfing your legs. You tilt and totter and he rushes up to catch you when you eventually trip over yourself and fall. Laughing and giggling the whole way while his heart drops fifty feet into his stomach.

⋆ Puts bandaids on your stuffies when you or they get hurt, in addition to your ouchie. (Even if it’s not bleeding, you get all his kisses and a stuffie gets a kiss too if he thinks it really needs it…)
