Marc took a long time to let you meet Steven. Despite the way he presents himself, when he cares about someone he is violently insecure of them realising his flaws. He hates the idea of you seeing him as weak, and will do anything to preserve your image of him for as long as he can.
Marc is protective over you. Scarily so. There is nothing that makes his heart drop further than the idea of losing you, whether that be to his fault or that of someone trying to hurt you. He would stop at absolutely nothing if he knew you were in danger, and he would keep you seperate from his double life for as long as possible to shield you from harm.
Marc is romantic not necessarily through his words, though he tries his best, but in his silent actions he does for you every day. Making you breakfast in the morning. Untying your shoes as you rant to him about your day after a long day at work. Covering the sharp corners of tables as you bend down, making sure you don't hurt your head. He is always trying to make your day just that little bit easier.
Marc feels so lucky to have you. You're the best part of his day, and the only thing that keeps him fighting. He needs to come home to you. He can't imagine why someone as perfect as you would be with him, and he cant stand the idea of leaving you to fend for yourself in any capacity. He needs you.
Your relationship is THE definition of "I can do it", "i know you can, let me help you anyways." He knows how capable you are, and he knows how hard you've worked to be able to become the person you are today. He wants you to be independent and strong with, or without him. Marc always lets you have space to make your own decisions and partake in what you want to do, but he will also always be right there, ready to catch you if you fall.
Steven is the most curious out of the three, and he is always trying to learn more about you. He wants to know all of your complexities, your fears, your dreams, your biggest desires. He wants to learn them, and he wants to use them to make your life the best it can possibly be. He remembers everything, even things you can barely recall yourself. You're trying to pick a movie? "Eh, I don't know about that one love, it's really similar to that new sci-fi film you hated. Here, this one reminds me of your favourite." You're overwhelmed and don't know what to pick at a restaurant? "Look, this is really similar to the one Marc makes that you love, do you wanna give it a go?"
He shows his love for you through his words. Steven's not so much of a talker, he tends to fumble his words and struggles to say what he's thinking. But with you? It comes all too easily. He's rolling over to you in the morning, peppering kisses along your face and whispering how perfect you look. Staring into your eyes across the dinner table and telling you that he is just so in love with you, and that there's nowhere else he would rather be. He loves seeing your eyes light up and your cheeks flush as you take in his words.
Steven likes to give you as much space as you ask for, he's been called clingy in the past and is terrified of scaring you away. He lets you take the lead with dates and planning, but the second you ask him to, he is prepared with a multitude of ideas and date spots he's been struggling to not bombard you with. If you're distant, he can adapt, but he truly is overexcited to shower you with the affection and experiences you deserve.
It's so important to him to keep you safe. He works with Marc to protect you from the dangers of their endeavours acting as the Fist of Khonshu, the two of them seemingly on the same page that keeping you as distant as possible is the best way to ensure your safety. If Marc is your physical protector, Steven is your emotional one. He is there after every occasion making sure you're okay, whispering word of comfort into your hair as he holds you tightly, vowing to not let go until you ask him to. The image of you in tears is one that punctures Steven's heart harder a knife.
Jake is less active than the others, but don't take that to mean he isn't always there. He is observant, often fronting during times where you wouldn't even notice that it wasn't Marc or Steven. He emerges just before pulling you out of the way of a car, or right in the middle of you crying to Steven to pull you into a rough, yet reassuring hug.
Marc and Steven were both scared to reveal Jake to you after they discovered him themselves, their fear of you seeing them as a danger to yourself outweighing their recognition of Jake as apart of them. It doesn't take much convincing on your part to introduce the two of you the second you realise Jake's existence, and it wasn't long before their fears were dissipated by your unconditional love being extended towards the third alter.
Though just as protective as the other two, Jake means it when he says he would stop at nothing to keep you safe. Morally grey, ethically wrong, he doesn't care, as long as every hair on your body remains untouched. He doesn't let anything slide or give anyone the benefit of the doubt. Jake doesn't take chances, if he's wrong about a situation he'll still be content that he was cautious, because he knows to not trust anyone. Especially when it comes to you.
Jake shows his love by letting you make mistakes, but never allowing you to deal with the consequences alone. There's no way he'll hold your hand through anything, but he'll be damned if he isn't watching your back the entire time, keeping a close distance and being completely on guard. if you do make a mistake, he's there, soft reassurances breaking through his rough exterior, "Mi vida, don't cry. We will try again, okay?"
Jake took the longest time out of the three to fall in love with you, not because of anything on your part, but because of his own fears. He worried for how different the two of you were, and dreaded the possibility that he could scare you away from Marc and Steven. He would constantly remind himself that his job was to work from behind the scenes to protect not only his fellow alters, but you as well. That was the only way to keep you all safe. It wasn't until he had the chance to sneak himself into everyday interactions between you and the others that those walls began to break down, and his heart began to warm with every thought of you that plagued his mind.
