#veris.

do we go on many dates? / what’s our favourite?

we both overthink it a lot at first and we trial and error a little, some dinner dates at restaurants, art galleries, museum dates…they’re all nice and cute but i don’t think we realise until one night in my apartment when we’re eating in and just rambling about random things in the middle of the night that it’s the best “date” we’ve ever had and it wasn’t even the intention (〃^∇^)ﾉ

we have occasional “proper” date nights but after that, we mostly stick to what flows more naturally and appreciate each random moments together, rather than needing to make a fuss, because we definitely prefer being at home

would there be special celebrations/holidays for us & what would be done in celebration? do we each have our own or would it be paired? (mythology au)

i would say at first they're both separate festivals but then the two get combined...

mine would be during summer, maybe the first day of summer or on my birthday because why not? and it would be a day to be surrounded by loved ones outside in the warm weather and eating lots of fresh fruit <33 & i think there would be candle making !! (i’ve always had a candle fixation and all gaming usernames were a variation of lumière for light but it also works for the candle in beauty and the beast because i loved that movie as a kid) also speaking of movies, tangled was my favourite disney princess one growing up and sooo at the end of the festival, there would be a pretty lantern show (a safe, environmentally friendly one as this would be in an ideal universe) & i don’t need any offerings so instead i would like for people to feed any animals that they come across

as for veritas, i can see his being very similar to panathenaea with the activities that take place during that festival - except no sacrifices, heavy on that 😭 - i think also it would be a big day for self reflection, and linking that to knowledge - he also doesn't need offerings and i think some people would be too scared to make them anyway in fear he wouldn't like whatever they offered - besides he would much prefer people acknowledge the importance of the festival being to enlighten people

& then i think over time, there would be a blend with the love of the two of us and it would be combined into one big festival with all of these different activities taking place - and then references to appreciating us together for the reasons you said in that beloved ask that will never ever leave my mind <33

what was our first kiss like? (hsr canon universe)

we're both super sarcastic and annoying with one another before we realise we like each other but the moment we know we both like each other, we're painfully awkward and flustered over every interaction

& we try and talk about our feelings and deal with the weirdness between us and he goes on a nervous awkward ramble and i want to kiss him to shut him up but i'm too scared to, so i kiss his cheek instead

& he gives me a puzzled look of (´･_･`)? and is immediately back to his usual self, scoffing and saying, "Can't even kiss me properly, that's embarrassing."

so i turn it around on him, saying "well you can't either so you can't talk-" and then he just kisses me before i can finish the rest of my sentence and i just melt like a puddle

it's not perfect...a little clumsy because we've never kissed each other before and we're both a flustered mess but it's sweet and the affection is evident in the way he kisses

who drives on long road trips?

this one is an easy veritas.

i've never even taken a driving test, i think it would be overstimulating for me and i'd hate it ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ so he would definitely be doing the driving, which he'd prefer anyway because then he's in control of going the routes he wants to take.

i would try and stay awake to keep him company for the journey though and talk about random things whilst he's trying (& failing) to not get mad at other drivers.

favourite winter activity to do together?

i'm too cold for winter, i like to be cosy inside and he also isn't a fan of going out when it's cold, much less if it's snowing.

soooo my technical cop out answer would be to have a warm bubble bath together, maybe with candles because i loove candle lit baths and he just likes the cosiness and intimacy of it, where he can truly relax and feel at home, whilst it snows outside.

non cop out answer would be ice skating! i love it and i just think he'd be bad at it and he'd hate it because he only wants to do stuff he's good at & i'd get to teach him and just watch my normally composed ratio be a little clumsy for once.

big spoon or little spoon?

veritas is definitely big spoon and i’m little spoon, for us, i think it just naturally goes that way, he always wants to be the one to wrap around me, especially in bed, he likes to hold me <3

who runs warm/cold?

he is ideal temperature, honestly he is perfect to cuddle with, me on the other hand….when i’m asleep i run hot, i’d wake up in the night and have to move away from him because i’d be too warm, only to wake up again later back in his arms because he can’t help himself…he is the type to put the fan on just so he can continue cuddling

moving in with him - (hsr almost canon au)

random lore time, veritas asks me to move in with him one night when he’s had a liiitttlee too much to drink and i laugh it off for a variety of reasons 1. he’s drunk 2. he doesn’t even have a permanent residence in penacony and 3. i cannot comprehend him wanting to live with me

i forget about it but the next morning as he’s in my bed and i’m getting ready, i find a pair of keys that i have never seen before and before i can comprehend what they are, he mumbles something half awake about how he did ask last night if i wanted to move in with him….

& then long story short, he says he had been meaning to ask, but the drink gave him a push of courage to do it but he was serious and actually found an apartment with the two of us in mind :’) so we move in together and my cat falls in love with him ofc

what position / foreplay makes him cum the fastest?

aside from that random thought i mentioned before about saying i love you to him - because i’m certain that you tell him that and it’s over he’s finishing the fastest he ever has in his life - although it's also hard because i see him as someone with so much self control that he could last forever if he wanted to, he's the kind that edges himself in my mind

for the mutual masturbation - i think it's just something he appreciates, perhaps even more intimate than just sex to him, to see that aspect of what someone might do alone and have that be shared together, i think the vulnerability in that, makes it feel more....idk what the word is, but i think it really heightens how he feels, bonus if there's eye contact and just describing what one another is thinking and i think that will make him cum pretty fast

on that....handjobs specifically when i'm behind him, idk i just love that position for it and i think the close proximity of that, combined with the fact that he's the centre of attention, it would make him a little flustered and his composure falls enough that he's not holding back

& then my last point is dry humping - that is just so him in my mind, clothed sex with veritas, either both or just one of us, is what i automatically think of a lot of the time, just a casual cosy day on the sofa and touchiness, leads to kissing, which leads to even more....& i think the common theme with this and the others is for him, stuff like this is more vulnerable than just sex, i can't explain it so idk if you'll know what i mean but in a way they do feel like that so i think for him he will cum much quicker when there's a heightened sense of vulnerability that doesn't just come from the act itself ????

his favourite way to show affection & vice versa? (assassin au)

the assassin au is less obvious affection, or at least with the rivalry, both of us refuse to acknowledge that what we’re doing is out of affection for one another

i think his would be through making sure i'm as safe as can be, whether that's making sure i have all of my gear and equipment or keeping an eye on me at all times if we're paired for a mission, any time i interact with anyone, he's keeping an eye out, reading their intentions & is just 24/7 trying to make sure i'm safe, it's an immediate natural thought that he doesn't think too much on but i always notice and it makes me feel cared for, even though he’d put it down as being for practical reasons

for me, i think it would be tending to his wounds, any time he’s injured and i’m patching him up, i go for the same reasons as him….’practicality’ but deep down i’m worried every time he gets hurt and i like to patch him up myself because i know i’ll probably do a better job than him because i’ll be more careful than he will with himself so it’s my way of ensuring he’s alright - and then afterwards i’ll constantly be asking if there’s anything i can do or anything he needs and i act reluctant about it but deep down we both know it’s because i care

what is it that he does that never fails to remind me how loved i am by him & vice versa?

for me: it’s that he’s always paying attention, whether we’re alone or with a big group, he’s always watching to pick up on any cues on how i’m feeling and the moment i open my mouth to speak, i know he's looking at me and listening - if there was a time when i was talking and someone else louder spoke over me, he’d just squeeze my hand and give me a look that says 'go on, i’m listening' - (i also think he takes a mental note of everyone that does it to me so he can do the same to them at a later date and after he does, he gives me this smug look ヾ(＾-＾)ノ) he could be reading, in the bath, anything, if i have something to say, he’s looking at me, putting his book down or whatever, it could be the most stupid random trivial thing ever and he focuses so intently and i think whenever i see his eyes on mine in those moments it definitely makes me feel loved <3

for him: it’s how effortlessly i take care of him, it’s like second nature, if he’s not feeling well, i’m offering to make him food, make sure he’s rested, that he has everything. if he’s having a bad day and is tired or stressed, i'll offer to run him a nice relaxing bath or give him a massage. bringing him lunch if he's too busy to remember - he’s used to being independent and i think whenever i look after him, it’s always something he’s not used to but is grateful for, especially because he knows how easily it comes to me with me - so just anything i do that has obvious love behind it really

i know there’s no birthdays in hsr (sob) but i have this image of making him a homemade birthday cake and him feeling so loved because of it :')

what are some little details he notices about me? does he ever point them out?

i bite my lip a lot out of habit, i can’t help it, it just happens whenever i’m focused on something, or thinking, or bored, so i can see him watching me study and noticing the lip biting and then we’ll be out and i’ll do it again and he’ll mumble something about how i shouldn’t do it because i’ll make my lip bleed and i agree but 5 minutes later and i’m doing it again because it’s like an instinctual thing, and he just smiles and shakes his head because i don’t even realise i’m doing it

also i think he notices my eyes whenever i see an animal and we’re out, cat, dog, bird, squirrel, fox, whatever, my eyes light up and i think he’d always notice that and he wouldn’t say anything but it leads to him taking pictures of any animals he sees when he’s out so he can show me when he gets back!!

does he get me anything that reminds him of me when he is away and surprises me with these little trinkets?

i think any niche thing relating to one of my interests, maybe something linked to mythology or crystals or one of my favourite books or games, and it would just be something silly that i would never expect him of all people to pick up and buy but he does and it’s cute <3

valentine's day plans -

i think the best plans for us would be to make a nice dinner together, bonus if i can get him to help make dessert and then we can sit down and enjoy it and just talk about everything and anything, followed by a nice candle lit bath that definitely doesn’t lead to anything [redacted] afterwards, no no of course not …

but i can picture me dragging him to a pottery class just to try it, only for me to be awful at it, but at least he gets a laugh out of seeing the failure as it happens & then i vow to never attempt that again :’)

what do we both like to do in our free time together?
