taken from this post

Activities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?

Mostly role playing and games, but honestly, just a lot of chatting-- he just loves any of the quality time he gets to spend with you

Beauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?

He adores their loving patience, he loves how encouraging they can be to him, he loves that they feel like a safe space where he can just be a peace-- finally, he gets to exhale

Comfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?

Be there for them, hold them, get them whatever they need that he's able to get-- low key high key they're his world, and he feels it when they are shaken

Dreams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?

Similar to how it is now honestly, both of them going out and living their lives, chasing their dreams and passions, then coming home to the warmth of their love and the safety of each other's arms

Equal - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?

HMMM honestly switch, in both sexual and non-sexual settings. Sometimes he takes the lead, sometimes he just likes to follow-- he'll happily do both as long as he gets to do them with you

Fight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?

I think it depends on how hurt his feelings are, and how deep he feels the betrayal, but honestly he's pretty quick to forgive-- he gets lonely without you and he misses you far too quickly

Low key that 'why are they sitting with their backs to each other?' 'they're fighting' 'then why are they holding hands?' 'they miss each other when they fight'

low key high key though, he can get pretty emotional pretty quickly in a fight-- he has a tendency to fly off the handle and while he doesn't always blame you, he might take it out on you a little in the moment

he always comes to regret it, but in the moment he just kinda lashes out...

Gratitude - How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?

With his s/o?? EXTREMELY, he's honestly just grateful they exist and choose him.

With the rest of the world though-- he has a tendency to feel like the world is against him, even when it's not

what can I say, he's a lil emo boy

Honesty - Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?

He may a few embarrassing secrets or even some fantasies he's a little too shy to share, but you will get them out of him eventually

everything important though he's pretty forth coming with (at least after a point)

Inspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?

Honestly you kind of helped him get his life back. Knowing he has someone who is a safe space for him to return to, he put himself out there more! He made new friends, found new hobbies-- he still has some hang ups about some of the stuff from his past, but they aren't stopping him anymore like they used to

Jealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?

Oh, he can honestly get pretty jealous. He's usually pretty chill, he knows you two are together forever so it's not a big deal, but sometimes it seems like someone else doesn't fully understand that you're extremely taken and are staying that way, and he might step in.

It's usually in some petty or childish way-- usually putting his arm around you/draping himself on you around them or giving you extra kisses when they're there (all while glaring daggers)

He will escalate to verbally telling them to back off, but only if they push it

Kiss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?

Eh-- he's still learning low key... but he's very eager to learn, and even more eager for you to teach him!

And his first kiss was, somewhat predictably, awkward. He still thinks back on it fondly though...

Love Confession - How would they confess to their s/o?

Mix tapes that spell out stuff with the first letter of each song, secret admirer notes/messages/letters, beating around the bush conversations where it's so obvious he's asking if you like him like that but he's not just out right asking

Eventually you probably have to be the one to confess low key

Marriage - Do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?

He low key always thought he wouldn't, but lately...

he hasn't thought about it much, but honestly he'd kinda tailor his proposal to you

the marriage would be the same as dating except now THAT'S MY WIFE/HUSBAND/SPOUSE! *John Mulaney Voice*

Also the wedding--- it'd either be very edgy or a court house wedding

Nicknames - What do they call their s/o?

He will call you his Penumbra on his death bed, you are his Penumbra forever

On Cloud Nine - What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?

OH he thinks he's being SOOOOOO low key, but high key-- everyone can tell. He stares a lot, pays more attention to you, is always looking at you or talking about you-- it's very obvi that he's basically following you around like a puppy at this point

and he expresses it in little ways like making sure you're good/included or just generally giving you extra/his undivided attention

PDA - Are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag with their s/o in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss etc. when others are watching?

Honestly he's kinda both?? He lets all know that he's your BOYFRIEND, and he will repeat that fact over and over and over again while very clearly holding your hand at all times

but if you try and give him one too many kisses, or get too snuggly or cuddly with him in front of others, he'll usually get embarrassed

He doesn't stop you-- but he is shy and blushing and hiding a bit in his hair (but like... also maybe don't stop...??)

Quirk - Some random ability they have that's beneficial in a relationship.

He can make a room dark with a wave of his hand-- you never have to get up to turn the lights off again!

Romance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?

He's very romantic but in a somewhat unconventional way--

There's sometimes flowers and stuff, but mostly it's grandiose declarations of love and tending to your needs

also poetry, but maybe don't tell the other's about the poetry... for your eyes only...

Support - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?

In small ways yeah-- I don't know many ways he can be supportive other than just being there for them in their day to day, but he is always there for you in your day to day, even if you're just kind of existing for this bit of time

Thrill - Do they need to try out new things to spice out your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?

Mostly routine, but honestly a random act of romanticism is weirdly part of the routine?? like-- he'll be like 'I have not declared my love for them in manor be fitting the depth of my affections in a bit-- I should take their hand and soliloquize to them for an hour when they get home!'

Understanding - How good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?

He strives to know their partner like he knows his own SOUL

and he's EXTREMELY empathetic! ...to them at least...

Value - How important is the relationship to them? What is it’s worth in comparison to other things in their life?

My thought to the first question was IT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO HIM THAN HIS LIFE, HE WOULD DIE FOR HIS S/O!

To the second question though-- I think it depends on what he's compromising. If it feels like it's something that's too much a part of him-- it's a coin flip as to whether he'd do it dutifully for a while before it becomes too much, or if he'd just refuse out right and start to question if you truly love who he is and/or if you love him as deeply as he loves you

Wild Card - A random Fluff Headcanon.

Gets so so so so SO snuggly when he's sleepy. Just clings to you and snuggles in, burying his face in whatever nook or cranny of you he can fit his face in, cling cuddling you like you're his teddy bear

XOXO - Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?

As stated above-- YES! Though usually that's just in private. In public he's a little less likely to melt against you and turn into a poofy little snuggle bug

In private though??

More kisses, more cuddles, more hugs, more love, more affection, HE WANTS TO DROWN IN IT!! MORE!!!!!!!!

Yearning - How will they cope when they're missing their partner?

Eh, pretty poorly. He's mostly just pouting and dreamy sighs, and sad sighs and talking about them or looking at pictures of them or checking his messages again or looking off into the distance wondering if he'll survive until he gets to see you again

He's very dramatic honestly

Zeal - Are they willing to go to great lengths for the relationship? If so, what kind of?

He's pretty willing to go to almost any length for you other than one that would fully compromise himself or his personhood

He has a very strong sense of self and while he's aware others don't always like or get who he is, he's not changing himself for anyone

There's a great many thing he will change and compromise if you are suggesting it out of genuine want for him to better himself and his life

but if he feels like you're only suggesting it cause you want to change who he is-- I won't lie, he'll feel a little heart broken, and a lot betrayed

Johnny Splash

Taken from this post!

Activities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?

Singing. Lots of singing. If you don't sing/don't wanna sing with him, then he will serenade you. Also cuddling. And Talking. Talking while cuddling!

Beauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?

Your study patience, your supportive nature, and your keen mind and sharp whit (everyone seems smart to Johnny low key-- usually anyway)

Comfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?

Holding them, generally comforting them, keeping them safe in his arms

and singing, but if you tell him to stop he will (just this once...)

Dreams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?

Married with a house and a dog and he's a famous singer and takes care of you for the rest of your lives

Equal - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?

OH passive-- I'm not even sure he likes to believe he wears the pants in the relationship (maybe when he's mad??), but even if he did, he knows whose really in charge (it's you, he's wrapped around your finger low key)

Fight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?

He's very dramatic when he's in a fight with you. He has a tendency to storm off in a huff, and that's usually how the arguments with him end. He also has a tendency to regret it in the first hour or so. He might not run back immediately, he still has his pride-- but yeah, eventually he comes back with his tail between his legs really apologetic. Sometimes he has to realize he was wrong the hard way before he's ready to apologize, but the world has a way of reminding him the hard way... (whether or not he takes to the lesson is a completely different story though)

Gratitude - How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?

He is both grateful and also somewhat ungrateful. He's more grateful in words than in actions (look at how he is with Duke XD)

He will always verbalize his gratitude, but if you want anything past that you might need to remind him (low key I always saw Johnny as the type to borrow money and never pay it back-- not a lot necessarily, but yeah)

Honesty - Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?

He pretty much shares everything-- occasionally he will keep a secret or two that he will carry the weight of the guilt of those secrets like Atlas holds the weight of the world upon his shoulders-- but when he finally does tell you, it ends up being pretty inconsequential. It's always the weirdest things he decides to get hung up about...

Inspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?

Johnny has a constant personal problem called 'his singing career' that you are always helping him through. If you ask him you've majorly changed his life for the better and in ways he didn't think possible--

Though from your perspective, you're just being a supportive partner lol

Jealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?

He thinks he'd never get jealous, and for the most part he doesn't. Until he feels the pang of your attention being somewhere else and he suddenly has never felt so lonely or missed having you in his arms so much.

How childish he acts about it is always a toss up, but rest assured his jealous spouts will always end with him giving you the saddest, wettest, puppy dog eyes.

Kiss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?

Eh-- he's not the worst of the dateables, but he still has some learning to do.

The tough part is he will not take it well, high key, so uh-- good luck with that?

Love Confession - How would they confess to their s/o?

In song. He does all his feelings in song.

Marriage - Do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?

He's had his wedding to you planned out in his head since your first kiss low key.

He proposes on stage somewhere, and the marriage will honestly be similar to dating, just with a lot more domestic romance (once he's your husband, he is no longer afraid to dip you in the kitchen and lay a big one on you-- what else would he marry you for if not for a shame free kiss pass)

Nicknames - What do they call their s/o?

Oh, all kinds of things. Sweet heart, sugar, darlin, dumplin-- the list goes on. Honestly, he'll kinda call you whatever you want! (As long as it's not inappropriate)

On Cloud Nine - What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?

OH IT IS SO OBVIOUS. He's a swooner and a crooner and when he's in love, he SUPER makes it everyone's problem. Lots of long stares and dreamy sighs and love songs abound!

PDA - Are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag with their s/o in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss etc. when others are watching?

He's very upfront about calling you his, but he's kinda shy when showing it, at least physically.

He'll declare his love for you on stage and sing you 10 love songs while he's at it, but kiss him and little too long or a little too deep in public afterwards and he's all blushing and hiding his face

Quirk - Some random ability they have that's beneficial in a relationship.

He's actually a pretty good baker, and makes killer breakfast foods-- hope you like pancakes!

Romance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?

OH, VERY. ROMANTIC TILL THE DAY HE CROAKS! Though I will say he's very cliche-- lots of love songs and flowers and little caste kisses in all the cute places caste kisses can go.

Occasionally he'll get creative, and it's always a coin flip as to whether it's good or not, but it's always, ALWAYS, extremely sincere.

Support - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?

Yes and no-- sometimes he can get a little distracted with his goals to fully notice yours, but whenever you bring them up, he's all in. No matter what it is, no matter what it may require of him, he's there!

He knows you'd do the same for him, and what kind of future husband would he be if he didn't do the same for you.

Thrill - Do they need to try out new things to spice out your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?

His idea of spice is a new dance move. He's honestly not nesscerily one for a strict routine, but he does have a usual way of going about things.

He's a little more open to many ways to spice things up the further you get into the relationship, but yeah-- he's pretty vanilla in every sense of the word.

Understanding - How good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?

Most of the time he's EXCELLENT at knowing his partner, but there's always the occasional out of pocket thing that just--- comes out of left field and hits you right in the head.

Or hits Johnny right in the head.

Either way, someone-- if not both parties-- are stunned.

Value - How important is the relationship to them? What is it’s worth in comparison to other things in their life?

EXTREMELY. He doesn't date someone unless he fully intends on marrying them.

As far as he's concerned, you two are as good as engaged. (Not actually cause you have to be dating a proper amount of time before he can actually propose-- but marrying you is his aim either way)

Wild Card - A random Fluff Headcanon.

Loves to wrap/hug/hold you with whatever cape or jacket he's wearing. Loves a good blanketed hug.

XOXO - Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?

When in public, he's extremely shy, when alone however---

He still likes to keep things more pg, but he's honestly quite the affectionate cuddle bug. And he LOVES to be loved on, so-- ya know-- feel free to return the favor.

Yearning - How will they cope when they're missing their partner?

Eh, poorly. Anytime someone goes slightly askew or is too exciting, all he can think of is how he wishes you were there.

Good times or bad, the first thing that comes to his mind if you're not beside him is wishing you were.

Once he learns how to text, you will most likely never know peace.

Zeal - Are they willing to go to great lengths for the relationship? If so, what kind of?

He'll go to almost any lengths he can personally handle.

Like-- he's not about to kill someone for you--- hell, he probably couldn't even FIGHT someone for you-- but he'd def get his ass kicked for you.

Anything he could find it in himself to do, he'll do for you-- as well as a few things he normally wouldn't.

Jean Loo

Taken from this post!

Activities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?

Like he said in his love route, his only hobby is Crapping (Note: Cool Rapping), and while that's not wholly true, it is MOSTLY true

Still, working on your craft and honing your skills does require research and testing things out and for Jean Loo that looks like listening to music and testing out rhymes (though it should be said, he does prefer free styling when he can)

So yeah, a lot of your time together will be spent crapping or doing stuff that leads towards Crapping. That said though-- he will, slowly over time, grow an interest in your hobbies as well. They are not as cool as Crapping, but eh-- variety is the spice of life, no?

Beauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?

He loves a pretty face, and he would never admit it, but he's weak for playful eyes. Shoot him a smirk at the right time and it will be burned into his memory forever.

Comfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?

He's honestly really bad at this. Mostly at first, but even later on he's still not the best. When it comes down to it, he defaults to a lot of holding you and letting you cry on his shoulder. He'll listen too, but most of this is much later into the relationship-- in the beginning he well and truly is out of his depth

Dreams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?

When he was still living the lil Crapper dream, he maybe saw his future with you as you being his number 1 fan and groupie, a position he mostly let's you keep cause you were there from the start (and also cause he's secretly really sweet on you)

Later when his dreams come crashing down and he gets a cold dose of reality splashed in his face-- honestly he's just really hoping you'll still be there. He's not sure if he's a marriage guy, or even the kind of guy anyone would actually want to marry, but he knows he wants to keep you for as long as he can...

Equal - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?

Thinks he wears the pants, absolutely does not. He's not completely powerless or submissive, but he also is to a degree unaware just how much his partner really is just amusing him in a lot of his wins.

I think if he realized, he'd be half offended, and half touched that they just like to see him happy that much...

But yeah no, push come to shove, even he knows who the boss is

Fight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?

When he's really in a fighting move he can get really petty real fast. He sometimes toes the line to outright vindictive, but his deep down worry that that would be the last straw with his partner and they'd decide he's not worth it keeps him from reaching that low.

His fights usually come from insecurities, and he's just childish enough to let the time between the fight and the apology drag out till he's starting to get worried he might've taken it too far.

Jean Loo is the kind of guy you can't apologize first to or he'll end up doubling down on being childish next time. You kinda have to wait it out until he's actually willing to put away his ego and have a legitimate conversation. This can sometimes take days. And honestly Jean Loo ends up hurting himself the most here, cause he's the one who ends up being more worried that this was the fight that ends it for good this time. (Even if you swear that won't happen, he's still always a little bit afraid of that...)

He won't verbalize any of this inner turmoil btw-- half the time he'd rather die than fully explain himself, or admit he let fear and insecurities get the better of him. He is Jean Loo! He is Lil Crapper! What insecurities?! He is the best!! (Honestly he's not subtle, so you don't even really need him to spell it out for you, he kinda does that himself on accident)

Gratitude - How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?

Honestly I feel like he's not very grateful until there's a moment his s/o actually isn't there and then he realizes with a thud how empty his life is without them. How much more alone he feels without someone having his back or at his side... How much they light up his day...

Jean Loo is honestly the type to never really notice things until they hurt too much too ignore-- which is apt given that I think he runs from his feelings like a fucking track star lol

Honesty - Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?

He has little secrets, and a few big ones, most of them a point of vulnerability that he would rather die than share... too bad he usually wears his heart on his sleeve despite his best efforts...

Inspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?

OH-- Jean Loo is changed by love more than he'll ever know and DEFINITELY more than he'll ever admit. Having someone he cares about to call him out on his bullshit has done WONDERS for him, even if that growth hurt like a bitch in the beginning. I can't say if Jean Loo changed his s/o as well, but I will submit the idea that having someone like Jean Loo near and dear to you, and in your life long term, is definitely going to spark change one way or another. Is that change growth?? Who knows, but it's definitely change!

Jealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?

He's not jealous until he suddenly is and then it's all consuming. The moment he doesn't like where your attention is, or if he doesn't like attention that's fallen on you, he reveals himself as a fake IDGAFer SO FAST

As to how he deals with it, usually kinda childishly-- all the while denying the fact that he's even jealous in the first place

Kiss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?

Not in the slightest (at least at first), and HEY! We get to see that in canon in his love route actually! It seemed like it was okay for him, but TRAUMATIZING for us so-- take that what you will...

I will say after some practice, and especially maybe practice with someone who's not as patient as the player seems to be, he does get better

Hell, after some gentle coaching, he might even be decent!

Love Confession - How would they confess to their s/o?

Most likely in a huff and also on accident. He does most of his sweetest gestures on accident.

Marriage - Do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?

Oh fuck, He's not sure... He definitely wouldn't mind it... and proposing??? ----Honestly gang, he didn't expect to get this far! Same for marriage-- WHAT??? HIM??? CRAZY!!!!

But hmmm, I'd imagine a Jean Loo proposal if you've gotten him far enough to propose in the first place would most likely be a call back to something sweet between you two early on.

And Marriage--- look, a Jean Loo that's mature enough to wed, is a far cry from the Jean Loo we meet in the game-- he's definitely the same creature, but at a much different spot in life.

Which is mostly a long winded way of saying married Jean Loo is mostly the same as dating Jean Loo, only SLIGHTLY more mature. Just slightly.

Nicknames - What do they call their s/o?

A mix of affectionate insults, french dearisms, and random little nicknames he's picked up along the time of knowing them (when he uses them I mean, he doesn't seem the type to use pet names that often??)

On Cloud Nine - What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?

TERRIFIED. Also a little bit mad. Mad at you for making him fall in love with you, mad at himself for catching feelings, mad at himself again for knee-jerking into being the worst version of himself around you all the time so there's no way in hell you'd like him!

He's in turmoil!

I once described Jean Loo falling in love only one way-- the hard way. Dragged kicking and screaming through the ordeal by his own feelings.

And that very much still stands.

As for the rest-- it's SUPER obvious to basically anyone that he's got it bad and he's making it everyone else's, but especially your, problem. And he expresses like he's 5 and about to pull a girls pigtails cause he thinks he's cute and doesn't know how to handle it. Except he's a grown ass man so it's thrice as obnoxious.

PDA - Are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag with their s/o in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss etc. when others are watching?

He's quick to brag about anything good going for him, and you're no exception. He might have gotten into, or almost gotten into, fights cause someone said that you weren't anything special.

That being said, he's a little less open about showing those affections. He's actually REALLY shy about PDA.

If he's in brag mode, he might pull you close, hype you up, maybe give you a kiss on the cheek in a very over the top way MMMMMWAH!

But if you go in for a real kiss, or ask him for just a passing affection, or even WORSE, KISS HIM BACK--- He's red, he's stuttering, he's so embarrassed, Babe not here omg

Quirk - Some random ability they have that's beneficial in a relationship.

He's actually really good with remember random facts, so if you info dump or he partakes in an interest with you, he'll probably retain a decent bit of it, even if he wasn't actually paying attention at the time. His mind is a weird little creature...

Romance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?

At first he's very unromantic, but over time he gets a little bit better.

He's probably not the type to buy you flowers all the time or anything, but he can manage it occasionally.

He does try to do things to remind you he's very sweet on you honestly. It's almost always when you two are alone, and it's always something small, but it's really sincere and heartfelt.

When it comes to his displays, he's either cliche as all hell or extremely creative and personal, there is no in between.

Support - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?

It takes him a bit, and his partner might have to out right say he needs him to support them on something, but when he does, he really does.

And he does believe in you btw. He's bad about showing things, but he actually does think you're extremely capable.

Thrill - Do they need to try out new things to spice out your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?

He's mostly a routine guy, but he's known to have a small wild streak and break from the norm.

Admittedly sometimes this is just a late night taco bell run and deep meaningful chat as you stare up in the stars in a parking lot, but it's the thought that counts, and he does love his quality time with you.

Understanding - How good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?

I feel like he learns this part the hard way. That being said, he does learn it eventually. He's not naturally that empathetic, but when he cares, it does always click for him-- eventually...

Value - How important is the relationship to them? What is it’s worth in comparison to other things in their life?

At the start, he'd say it's not worth much to him, if anything at all. Later on though------ your kinda his everything??

Okay well-- not EVERYTHING?? But his life would definately be more miserable without you and he very well knows it. He really can't imagine a life without you in it after a certain point...

That said, he does still have a solid sense of self (even if the real world def put some big cracks in it), and a surprisingly strong moral code?? (at least of his own)

Which is all a way to say he loves you more than many things, but he will never love you more than himself-- and he means that in a narcissistic way as well as a steadfast person-hood way.

Wild Card - A random Fluff Headcanon.

Will never admit it out loud to others, and it takes him a while to admit it to you, but holy fuck does he love cuddling. He loves to hold and be held, loves feeling warmth against him, loves feeling loved and treasured, loves your hand rubbing his back or snaking into his hair-- he just loves to feel close to you...

XOXO - Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?

OOP! JUST ANSWERED THAT KINDA! LOL XD

Yeah, he loves cuddling and he LOOOOOVES kissing, especially making out.

That being said, it takes him a while to get there though-- he'll probably be a bit into the realtionship before he's fully comfortable with affection. He's also not one for PDA, but in private?? Yeah-- he can actually get pretty affectionate after a time. And honestly if you lay a lot of love on him, he kinda melts...

Yearning - How will they cope when they're missing their partner?

Regardless of how long they've been together he handles it about the same-- which is to say poorly.

He pouts a lot, and constantly checks his messages to see if you sent him anything yet. He gets a bit more grumpy without you, and is definitely mopey if you're gone for a while (better remember to text him on business trips...)

Zeal - Are they willing to go to great lengths for the relationship? If so, what kind of?

At the start, not really-- but further down the line he'll definitely become a big gestures guy. Running through the airport just to tell you good bye, holding a boombox out on your lawn, grand declarations of love if he thinks he's messed up too much--- all of them equally as sweet as they are annoying...

Hector

Taken from this post!

Activities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?

He honestly usually let's you take the lead-- he's happy to just be spending time with you. If he HAS to pick though-- maybe watch a movie?? Or go to the farmer's market?? Or some kind of cafe?? He's honestly not sure, maybe just go somewhere new together??

Beauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?

Oh gosh-- everything?? I think mostly he just admires your confidence and charm. They say you'll always love what you can never have-- and he could never...

Comfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?

Lots of holding you, lots of listening, lots of reassuring words

Dreams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?

Oh god, he never even dreamed he'd get this far. Uhh-- maybe to get married?? and live in this wonderful domestic bliss forever??

Equal - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?

He defaults to passive, but he's honestly got more of a dominant streak than you'd think. It's still a sort of scared and nervous one, cause he's still him, but he definitely doesn't mind taking control if that's something that you want too

Fight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?

It really depends on what the fight was about-- but honestly if you come at him apologetic in the least he tends to crumble and forgive instantly. He can't hold a grudge against you...

Gratitude - How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?

EXTREMELY. He's honestly kind of over-aware of his s/o's presence in his life... Honestly from an outside perspective he might be over valuing you, but he definitely doesn't see it that way, he's in too deep

Honesty - Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?

He has a few little secrets... mostly of the embarrassing variety... and maybe a few of the more-- uh-- spicy variety... honestly there's some secrets that if pushed he'd be more than happy to share, but be careful cause there are a few he will genuinely get mad if you push to reveal them before he's ready

Inspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?

They changed his life in every way... He hopes they feel the same, but he doesn't hold too tightly to those delusions... (he really hopes tho...)

Jealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?

He likes to think of himself as someone who doesn't get too jealous-- after all he's used to sharing you-- but occasionally he can't help himself... just cause he's accepted it doesn't mean he always likes it...

He usually will keep that all in though. Bottle up those feelings and feel awful over them later. Agonize and stew and maybe take sometime to himself for a bit... just until the bitterness passes... (and then be SUPER clingy when he comes back out of his shell)

Kiss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?

He doesn't have a lot of practice, but he has A LOT of enthusiasm, and even more passion-- your mileage may vary on skill, but there's no denying he's the most into it of the house

Love Confession - How would they confess to their s/o?

With a lot less bravado and confidence than he would've liked... It was actually really kind of stumbly, and awkward, and vulnerable than he would've liked-- but it is what it is-- what it had to be

He laid his heart and soul before you, and to his surprise and delight, you accepted it... what a wonderful turn of events

Marriage - Do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?

OH ABSOLUTELY. He's maybe dreamed about your wedding--- oh, at least a dozen times. He's not sure how exactly he is going to propose. He definitely has several plans-- though, they all go out the door when he finds himself purposing on accident. It wasn't anything special, just a small domestic moment together where he was overcome with how much he loved you and it just-- sort of came out. He's a little disappointed he didn't get to do something grander... but-- well, no use fighting fate he supposes.

As to how married life with him goes-- honestly very similar to dating, except he's a lot more confident and assured, and therefore a lot more affectionate. You're married now, why shouldn't he kiss your neck from behind in the kitchen?? What's the point of holding back?? When he has all the permission in the world to love you to his heart's content...

Nicknames - What do they call their s/o?

My Love is the biggest one, but he will also use Dearest fairly often. Honestly he's pretty standard when it comes to his pet names-- though don't let that fool you, he means it deeply every time he uses it

On Cloud Nine - What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?

OH HE IS CONSUMED BY IT, and everyone knows. He mostly expresses his feelings in private to the pages of his diary-- or in his erotica. He also expresses it by staring, yearning and general pinning. Never by just telling you how he feels though-- god, could you IMAGINE??

PDA - Are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag with their s/o in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss etc. when others are watching?

He's very up front in the fact that you're together-- in fact he kinda won't shut up about it?? But he still has a hard time kissing you or even just holding your hand in public. He gets too embarrassed, and he's almost certain everyone is thinking you could do better and he's a cad for stealing away your affections from someone more deserving...

When he's in private though-- let's just say he's much less shy about his affections

Quirk - Some random ability they have that's beneficial in a relationship.

He's actually quite the artist and craftsman. He's skilled at writing and poetry, and he can usually hand make almost any trinket if you give him some time!

Romance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?

EXTREMELY. And he'd honestly do anything to see you happy-- he mostly falls back on cliches just based on reflex, but if you ask him to get more creative he absolutely will. Honestly, he'll pretty much do anything for you...

Support - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?

Oh absolutely, without a doubt! And there's not usually too much he can do when it comes to achieving goals, but anything he can do, he will!

Thrill - Do they need to try out new things to spice out your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?

He doesn't necessarily need to spice things up, but he's definitely not against the idea. After all-- what's better to support exploration than trust??

Understanding - How good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?

He's extremely empathetic to everyone, not just his partner. And he knows his partner probably better than he knows himself at this point (though they still do manage to surprise him from time to time)

Value - How important is the relationship to them? What is it’s worth in comparison to other things in their life?

Honestly, it might be more important to him than himself. Which is sad. Though, with that said, I don't think he'd fully compromise himself for you. He does have some sense of agency. Though on a cruel twist of fate, you might honestly be able to convince him to give up quiet a lot of himself if you ask nicely enough... you might need to work with him on that...

Wild Card - A random Fluff Headcanon.

He loves to hold and be held. He actually kinda needs it after a turn. It's so healing for him... to feel your warmth and your love...

XOXO - Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?

In public he clams up pretty quick, but in private-- he doesn't usually start things, but he will finish them. A few kisses from you to let him know that he's free to give his affections and the fold gates are open. He loves to kiss, he loves to cuddle, he loves to touch you and have you touch him-- it's honestly all very loving, affectionate and sensual

Yearning - How will they cope when they're missing their partner?

Horribly if I'm being honest. He has a tendency to mope quite a bit, and sigh dramatically all day. He doesn't need you to sacrifice your own time to appease his loneliness, but he will still miss you all the same

Zeal - Are they willing to go to great lengths for the relationship? If so, what kind of?

He will go to damn near any lengths-- even some he probably shouldn't be so willing to... You've really taken priority in his life in a way that he's probably not shaking anytime soon...
