Notes:

I wasn't planning on writing this, but the fics other people wrote between the first episode and the pure canonical angst that happened later are simply too beautiful to let the boys go

Work Text:

Sean's language of love – of comforting, specifically – is gifts. Out of nowhere, unplanned, sudden; small surprises, whether it's a bunch of flowers, most likely illegally picked from someone’s garden, or a set of pastries, or his everything, fervent kisses and tears of any taste – but always at the right time.
It's as if it was him who could have premonitions too.

Marion's language of love – of comforting, specifically – is touch. Grounding, gentle, reliable; small gestures, whether it's a peck on the forehead in the morning, accompanied by a mug of tea hot to the skin, or a thumb drawing circles on the back, or his everything, the tightest embrace and deep kiss – and any given moment.
It's as if it was him who would be reckless enough to lose himself completely.

plese at me not (c), I know that Marion IS reckless enough to lose himself completely, I just made it much harder for myself when I decided to go with the parallel structure (and the "could also have premonitions" was the first sentence I wrote for this fic, I didn't want to delete it). I just couldn't come up with anything that Sean has that Marion doesn't in terms of "romantical" because his PTSD and BPD don't really fit
