Hayden
Taken from this post!
Activities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?
I think if it's not farm work, it's relaxing from farm work
He loves a nice little stroll, or just laying in the grass watching the clouds roll by, or sitting snuggled together on his couch by the fire and talking about nothing in particular
Honestly just some quality time with anyone, but especially his s/o, is always his favorite
Beauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?
Their can do attitude, their kind heart, their indomitable spirit and that cute smile of theirs :)
Comfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?
A listening ear, a warm hug and a shoulder to cry on
I won't lie, I hope you like being held cause anytime he sees you in distress he kinda HAS to hold you-- he's a hugger, and he likes to hold you close and precious
He's also a big tea and treats giver-- he tends to brew up something even when things are going well, but ESPECIALLY when things are rough-- he breaks out the kettle
Dreams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?
Obviously he's open melding your two visions of the future into a reality-- but honestly he'd just like to stay here tending to your farms in Mistria
Honestly, he's always been pretty happy with his lot in life-- he just always really wanted someone to share it with
Equal - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?
I'd say if anything he's somewhere in the middle-- he's not wholly dominant, or wholly passive-- he's honestly mostly just supportive??
He won't always wait for you to take the first step, but he'll always give you space to step up when you want to
Fight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?
Honestly it depends a bit on what the argument is about, but real talk he's never been one to hold a grudge or draw a disagreement out longer than it needs to be
Honestly I think once everyone's had some space and time to cool down, he's really quick to talk it out, and that also means he's definitely really quick to apologize
He's got his stubborn moments, but he knows when to put his pride aside
Gratitude - How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?
So given the fact that he was honestly somewhat lonely, at least romantically speaking, before they came to town-- he's extremely grateful
All they've done for Mistria, and for the land, and for the people, and the animals, and especially for HIM
Honestly I think he'll be grateful about that until the day he dies
Honesty - Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?
I feel like most of his secrets are small embarrassing ones that he'd totally still share given the right circumstances
He's not really a secrets guy, he prides himself on honesty
Though if you have things you're not ready to share or talk about, he won't pressure you into talking about them until you're ready-- and when you are, he's all ears
Inspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?
I don't think he experienced any kind of fundamental change, but they did make things a lot better in general for him-- a lot happier
I think they helped him find comfort in letting things go and not holding on too tight, but I think part of that is because he now has a shoulder to lean on
Jealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?
So he doesn't really get jealous, but he DOES get protective
If anyone thinks they're gonna hurt his partner, they sure as hell got another thing coming
Kiss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?
I think his kisses are warm and loving, even when they're brief
Though I do think his first kiss was probably very sweet, if a little awkward-- he still looks back on it fondly though
Love Confession - How would they confess to their s/o?
I think at first he's hesitant to even say anything-- cause he likes this-- he likes having you around, and he doesn't want to ruin it
I low key think he doesn't even say anything until you say it first
But then-- he's all in
It feels a little out of no where, but it's confesses so certainly and with such conviction, you're sure he's done this before a million times over in his head...
It's strong, and it's sweet, and it comes right from the heart
Marriage - Do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?
HECK YEAH HE WANTS TO GET MARRIED!
And I think he might actually propose similarly to how he confessed??
A little suddenly, very humbly, but also really certain.
Like he's made up his mind long ago, he's just been waiting for the perfect moment to do it, and wouldn't ya know-- that moment is right now
He pulls the ring out of his pocket and asks you right then and there
Nicknames - What do they call their s/o?
Oh mostly a lot of country/southern-isms that he tends to call everyone
I think the biggest one he saves just for you is darlin'
On Cloud Nine - What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?
I think it's less obvious than some of the other marriage candidates, but if you know Hayden well enough, you could definitely tell
His mode becomes a little brighter when you're around-- hell it's even a little brighter when you're just brought up.
Also anytime you're around, his attention kind of ends up floating towards you-- he doesn't mean it to, it just kinda... happens, ya know?
Also he talks about you A LOT
Honestly, if you can catch the difference before friendly Hayden and Hayden with a crush, you'd totally clock how down bad he is
Also he expresses his feelings mostly through acts of service, or just generally being there for you
Legit say the word, and he'll come running
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, and while he tries not to BRAG brag, he kinda ends up bragging a bit anyway...
And while he does like to keep more private matters of your relationship private-- he's also not afraid to kiss you in front of whoever
Nothing wrong with givin' his sweet heart a little smooch!
Quirk - Some random ability they have that's beneficial in a relationship.
He's just generally good at taking care of things, animals and people
No matter what life throws at you, Hayden will have your back
Romance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?
So all of his romancing is pretty humble, yet heartfelt-- and he DOES make an effort a little bit everyday
If you want some kind of Grand Romantic Gesture, Hayden's not really your guy, but if you want an enthusiastic kiss hello and good bye every day, and the occasional picnic for just relaxing together-- then he's totally your man!
Support - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?
He'll help any way he can, and yes-- he very much believes in you
Thrill - Do they need to try out new things to spice out your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?
I don't think he does it all that often, but he's not opposed to it.
He's a bit more of a routine guy, but he's down to break the routine regularly-- routine routine breaks??
Understanding - How good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?
He's extremely empathetic to most people and creatures, but especially to you, cause after a while, he knows you like the back of his hand
Value - How important is the relationship to them? What is it’s worth in comparison to other things in their life?
I think slowly but surely you kind of became the most important thing in his life. He sorta feels bad about that since like--- obviously the animals and the farm matter too!
But... I think he's having a hard time picturing a life without you in it, at least in some capacity...
Wild Card - A random Fluff Headcanon
So he'll only do this if you're okay with it, but he really REALLY likes literally sweeping you off your feet
Any excuse to have you in his arms, and he knows it's a fun and easy way to fluster you!
Plus he likes to feel at service to you, and he really feels that way whenever he scoops you up bridal style
He always means it sweetly-- aaand maybe a little teasingly
XOXO - Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?
OH BOY IS HE
He's honestly a teddy bear, even to his friends!
Cuddles and kisses he saves for you though...
And frankly, he'll give you as much as you'll let him! And if you initiate any affection, he's all smiles and laughing and blushing and on cloud nine-- HE'S JUST PLAN GIDDY!!
Yearning - How will they cope when they're missing their partner?
He copes fairly well-- he can carry on mostly like normal
All though he does take brief moments throughout the day to miss you-- like when he first wakes up-- alone... or when he has breakfast-- alone... or when he has a coffee break-- alone... or lunch-- alone... or when he's making dinner-- for just himself... and when he goes to bed... alone...
Yeah, he copes just fine, but he sure misses the hell out of you
Zeal - Are they willing to go to great lengths for the relationship? If so, what kind of?
I don't think he ever fully articulated to himself the lengths he'd go to for you, but he feels it in his spirit-- he'd go to the ends of the earth if you asked him
But mostly he'd just take care of you in any way you'd need, and maybe a few you don't
He just likes to take care of the things he loves! And he loves you a lot...
