a/n: guys i swear i'm normal about wybie (lying)

First things first, Wybie is a weird boyfriend, with weird interests 

But trust me, he’s lovely

He's very independent, sometimes more so than you would wish 

He is just good at keeping himself entertained so to speak

He absolutely hates to be bored, so he's become very good at staying busy over the years of his life 

He fills his life with photography, always heading out into the woods when he's bored to take some photos 

He loves taking candids of you, and he has a secret folder of all the photos he's taken of you over the months and years you've been together 

He doesn't show you for a longgggg time, but you speculate he safe keeps them somewhere, because you know he’d never delete the pictures of you 

He also really enjoys dirt biking, and heads out to do that as well at the first sight of boredom

He doesn't enjoy competition though, he's never been a very fiery competitor, so he only does dirt biking recreationally and will actually get slightly pissed off if you encourage him to apply to some local competitions, even if you think your being helpful

He claims that competing takes the fun out of everything, but it's really because he feels overwhelmed when faced with really any kind of performance pressure and doesn’t like being ranked 

He actually is like never on his phone, which is quite frustrating, but despite how many apps there are dedicated to distracting and entertaining the youth, Wybie just isnt really interested in them 

Plus, his grandma is not from the same generation as him, so she is literally never using a phone or any device like it, so she's never texting him to check up on him or anything of the sort

Because of this, he in turn just sort of forgets that there are people who actually would like to hear from him over text or call….

This is what I mean when I say he’s independent 

It's not that he's trying to be such a loner necessarily, it's just that in the combined storm of him always needing to be out and doing something so he won't be bored, AND the fact he’s not checking his phone a lot, for you as his girlfriend, sometimes he can seem really distant or like you never know what he’s up to because he’s just not checking in with you

However, when you bring this frustration up to him, he instantly feels horrible

You explain to him how you feel, and he is incredibly receptive and understanding. He lets you talk uninterrupted while he just nods and intently listens with guilt in his puppy dog eyes

He just really didn't even consider the possibility that it was making you nervous or insecure and whatnot

Now, he invites you with him everywhere

Any stupid little plans he has for the day or after school/work, he’s always invites you without fail

Normally, he’s usually doing the same things as always. It's always either photography, insect hunting, dirt biking, or just exploring with his cat

By the way, the cat’s (HIS cat’s) name is a vintage name you’d probably hear in a seniors home

Something like Vernon or Osmond 

Something very old school/old man, but Wybie thinks that just suits his cat

Wybie just in general is a very mellow guy

He doesn't really get worked up about much

He prefers doing his own thing most of the time, but his love language is quality time, so please, you don't have to leave, like ever

He's perfectly happy having you around,,, all the time actually!

He loves just talking, he can talk to you about anything and everything

You guys jump between topics, explore different perspectives, say random thoughts that come to mind…. Really, anything and everything. He loves conversating

He loves insects, and always insists on preserving their “lives”  

This stems from his love of slugs, which eventually grows as he gets older, and a real passion for insects develops

His grandma got him an insect exhibition kit when he was 14, and he became obsessed with it, going out of his way to collect “exotic” bugs 

In school, Wybie is a back of the class dweller, who does NOT pay attention

He always chooses seats at the very back of the class, in the corner and next to the window if he can

So he can look outside while he doesn’t pay attention

He also looks at you…. Teehee

Like a lot

The way your hair falls softly against your back, how you sit in your chair, what people talk to you… what people are also looking at you 

He's a real quiet observer, especially in school, he notices a lot about people naturally

His grandma used to really get on him about his grades, but as she got older and her health began dwindling more and more she just stopped paying all that attention to him

I headcanon that she develops dementia :(

He has distant relatives that thought of putting her in an elderly home, but then that would mean Wybie would need another family member to take care of him and take him in… and they lived far away and had families of their own, so they opted to just afford a nurse to look after Lucille (his grandma) until Wybie graduates and can be on his own, which isn't that far away really so it works out  ..

Because of that, Wybie has a lot of freedom, especially with school

There's no one hounding him about grades, or grounding him if he skipped school 

So he doesn't really care at all about his school performance 

Except for science 

He LOVES science and very much pays attention and loves natural science units 

Of course eventually teachers and principles will chat with him about needing to elevate his grades when he becomes and junior and a senior in highschool, and only when they lay out the fact that colleges won’t accept grades like his does he then start paying attention and trying in school 

Anyways…. 

He loves foggy weather 

He loves a good hot shower, especially in the winter months, he’s the type to scorch his skin off 

He cracks his knuckles really loud, it's just a little habit 

He loves the october and november months, he finds its the best season for photography

He draws on his hands all the time, especially in class

He’ll draw the bones of his hands and fingers, mimicking the skeleton gloves he has

Wybie thinks its a cool idea to one day get that same skeleton design tattooed on his hands, he just vibes with how it looks 

He’ll draw them on you too, if your sitting next to him 

He’s an Aquarius sun, born on February 18th

(for the sake of this post, the character’s age has been raised to seventeen)!

• First and foremost, how did this awkward and rambling mess ask you out?

- Well… that’s simple: he didn’t do a face-to-face interaction. Instead, Wybie, being a man of few words, decides to pour his heart out in a heartfelt letter to you. He carefully writes down all his feelings, expressing how he's fallen for you and how much you mean to him. He leaves the letter on the doorstep of the Pink Palace, along with your favourite flowers. You then find the letter and read it, finally realizing the depth of Wybie's emotions. When you finally rush to find him, Wybie initially tries to ignore you.

- Spoiler alert: It didn’t go as planned. He totally failed. After you finally confess to feeling the same way, you and Wybie shared a warm embrace where he begins to whisper sweet nothings into your ear, feeling overjoyed that his feelings are reciprocated.

• Who says “I love you” first?

- You. Definitely you.

- Despite you possessing enough courage to actually say these special words, Wybie had to admit that he was pretty upset that he didn’t say it first. You beat him to it! But another part of him couldn’t help but feel overjoyed that you said it first.

- He has very mixed feelings about it. -.- but he can’t stay mad at you! It wasn’t anything to hold a grudge over.

• Who initiated the first kiss?

- Depends on who you ask.

- You and Wybie’s first kiss happened on your third date which was in the garden belonging to the Pink Palace which happened to be a rather romantic picnic. During the middle of it, there was something in the air that caused Wybie to feel compelled to kiss you. Or that’s at least how he describes it happening.

- Despite how much arguing there is about who kissed who, Wybie is happy that you’re his first kiss. <33

• Date ideas?

- Even though Wybie has a naturally frantic outward personality, let’s face it… this man loves horror movies! I mean, have you seen his skeleton gloves?! But… he — for sure — screams like a girl from time to time if a jump scare gets him too good.

• Adventurous Dates: While the Pink Palace may not offer traditional adventures, Wybie is creative when it comes to planning dates. He loves taking you on spontaneous and unique dates, like stargazing on the rooftop of the Pink Palace, exploring hidden spots in their town, or taking you on a midnight picnic in the overgrown garden.

- And, yes, the black cat is more than welcome to come on all these little adventures but only if you’re okay with it!

• Would he be the type of boyfriend to take part in playful banter?

- Of course!

- Your relationship is filled with playful banter and teasing. He enjoys engaging in witty banter and playful teasing, keeping your relationship lighthearted and fun. Wybie's sense of humour and your (somewhat) quick comebacks create a playful dynamic that keeps your relationship light and enjoyable.

- If you just so happen to be shorter than 5’7”/170cm (his height), then you’re just asking for him to poke fun at you but not vocally. He’ll either do things like pat your head, use your shoulder as an armrest, or simply rest his chin on top of your head.

• How does he protect you? Is he supportive?

- If someone was messing with you, he’d try to use some sort of scare tactic to get them to stop. Either that be using a combination of his turret-lensed skull mask, skeleton gloves, black fireman’s coat, and motorbike. Who knows! He is full of surprises. :))

- And of course, he’s a supportive boyfriend! He always ensures that you feel safe and supported, and he's not afraid to stand up for you when needed. He's there to lend a listening ear when you need to talk, offer a shoulder to cry on, or simply your hand to offer comfort.

• Hobbies?

- I feel like Y/n and Wybie would bond over a shared love for the supernatural and mysteries, and often indulge in geeking over it together. The two of you may even spend evenings reading ghost stories by candlelight, researching local legends, or even trying to capture evidence of paranormal activity with their cameras.

- ^ If this type of stuff doesn’t interest you… then you can just be an observer of Wybie’s adorable antics. That way, you’ll have the front row seat for everything.

Final assessment?

• Wybie Lovat is a 100/10 boyfriend!

Wow. Years ago.
