earl grey tea — how did they court their s/o?
- i mean, he’s literally the prince of the underworld, so expect some pretty lavish dates. he’ll take you out for extravagant dinners, long walks in the... hellfire light...?
yeah, that sounds about right
milk tea — what are their kisses like?
- tom isn’t the best with words, but he’s working on it (with marshmallow’s help, of course). in the meantime, he’ll use physical affection to express how he’s feeling.
- and that translates to ‘lots and lots of kisses’
you’re practically being smothered over here!!
coffee — do they get jealous easily? how do they show it?
- yes... oh, yes... you love tom! truly, you do! but he is one of the most jealous people you’ve ever met in your life.
- you know it’s mostly due to his short temper and deep-seated insecurities, so you try not to fault him too much.
again, he’s working on it!- but if you’re ever in a social setting and tom spies someone else chatting you up from across the room, it doesn’t take very long before you feel a dark, looming presence standing over you.
- a small smile grows on your face when your boyfriend’s tight grip lands on your shoulder as he quietly mutters, “can we go now?”
rosehip tea — how romantic are they? how do they show affection?
- as i said before, tom likes to use affection when words don’t seem to work properly. kissing, hugging, holding hands, the whole nine yards!
pomegranate tea — at what point did they know they loved their s/o?
- he had invited you to a ball. that night, he had smiled as you held him close beneath the glow of the blood moon, eyes twinkling brightly in the dimly lit ballroom. his hand tightened around yours and his chest tightened as his eyes flickered over your features until he finally leaned in for a slow, sweet kiss.
hibiscus tea — what’s their favorite place to take their s/o?
- if he’s not taking you on a date, his favorite place to spend time with you is his house. more specifically, his room.
- he likes when you let him rest his head on your stomach with his arms tucked under your body to keep you close. your fingers weaving and brushing through his hair, gently encouraging him to fall asleep as his side of your conversation slowly turns into incoherent mumbles and then, eventually, quiet snores.
green tea — how do they comfort their s/o?
- once again, when words fail, physical affection speaks volumes. he’ll wrap you in a tight hug, press kisses against your forehead, and gently scratch your back. of course, tucked between the two of you is the sweet, precious marshmallow, who always brings a smile to your face.
russian caravan tea — how experienced are they with relationships?
- tom doesn’t have much experience with relationships aside from star, but since the two of them are still close friends, she’s always happy to lend advice whenever tom needs it. (along with marco, of course!)
basically, he needs a little help sometimes and that’sokay!
rooibos tea — what’s their favorite thing to do with their s/o?
- alongside physical affection, tom’s other primary love language is quality time. he loves having uninterrupted conversations that are filled with quiet laughter and endless ramblings about anything and everything.
