Relationship Headcanons // ACCEPTING
Nemesis is a lot of firsts for X, he has seen other tyrants but he was never really given a chance to interact with one. He is unused to being in close proximity with someone larger than himself and one who looks so different, itâs strange but the good kind of strange. T-00 is always slow to trust but the process has been much easier with the other tyrant, he doesnât feel the need to keep him within his line of sight or keep a distance. He actually feels comfortable having him closer.
X has never felt as many things as he does when around Nemesis and it can honestly be a little overwhelming, it doesnât really bother him though, it usually just leads him to being slow to react when caught off guard by something. Mr. X tends to be surprised by affection, he enjoys it though. Through Nemesis he has learned a lot about himself already. He never saw himself as being able to enjoy having anyone so close but he has discovered that he quite likes holding hands and cuddling, and it's not just the actions themselves, itâs Nemesis that makes it enjoyable.
T-00 has begun to realize that he really likes Nemesis, love is entirely foreign to him so developing these feelings has led to a bit of confusion but that isnât new in regards to being around Nemesis. X likes to give him random things he finds as well as some of his food to show that he really enjoys his company, he also tries to show affection in ways that he is used to. Heâll try to hold his hand or press his face against him with the occasional hug thrown in, he usually doesnât initiate physical affection but he wants Nemesis to know that he likes him.
T-00 is usually very passive when it comes to how the staff treat him, it isnât ideal but it is all he knows. That doesnât apply to how they treat Nemesis however. He knows that neither of them are treated well and he doesnât want them to hurt him, X could possibly get himself in trouble over Nemesis if he were to see or hear any mistreatment of him. He is protective of who/what he gets attached to; this could lead to anything from growling at a handler or possibly even stepping between Nemesis and one of them depending on the circumstance. Mr. X cares very little about what would happen to him and that paired up with not thinking the decision through could get him in a lot of trouble with the staff. X can be selfish when it comes to the suffering of others but heâs far too attached to stand idly if he thinks Nemesis could be hurt or upset by something.
