Work Text:
- We all know this one is probably the most professional and ‘put-together’ out of the group, yeah? That all kinda goes out the window when you’re around.
- 2B’s still going to try and keep his stern front if this happens in public (he’s not really a big fan of PDA, but saying no to you is a liiiittle harder than he’d like to admit), but even then it’s easy to see that he’s flustered by your shows of affection.
- Is secretly thankful for the mask and other face coverings because it hides how red his cheeks get-
- The first few times the others see this it’s going to be a bit of a surprise - while Hank probably doesn’t care too much, Deimos is going to tease him about it endlessly (well, until he either gets scared off or grows bored enough). Sanford might throw in a remark here or there but overall finds you two adorable.
- As for the other grunts that work under him? A mix of confusion and astonishment collectively washes over them if they see you two together. Normally their boss is so cold and never anything less than the polished image he puts forward. He still is, no doubt about that, but to see someone so sweet and warm with fingers tangled together with his definitely turns some heads.
- 2B notices the staring alright. The glare he sends back gets them to cut it out right away, hand squeezing yours just a little tighter as you both round the corner.
- You won’t get much out of him in front of other people, but when it’s just the two of you? That’s a different story.
- 2B finds it so easy to just sink into your embrace. Whether it’s in his office, in bed, or anywhere else secluded, he just melts into you.
- It might take him a moment to ease into it, but you can feel the change in him - the way his shoulders drop, how the tenseness just leaves him… Really, no one else has seen this side of him as often as you do.
- Sometimes when he’s really stressed, seeking you out becomes his go-to way of alleviating it. It really wouldn’t surprise me if he ends up kind of framing it as if he were going to see if you needed help with anything only to take a little break wrapped up in your arms.
- Unsurprisingly, it ends up being more than just a little break sometimes.
- Sometimes the two of you end up switching - he’ll be the one holding you sometimes, while others he prefers to have his head tucked into your shoulder while your fingers trail along his spine. He’ll sigh when he feels lips press against the top of his head, ignoring the twinge of pain that accompanies the slight smile that curls at the corners of his lips.
- 2BDamned may try to convince himself that he doesn’t need this sort of affection, or doesn’t deserve it for whatever reason, but he’ll never push you away if you’re offering.
