Thats a little story I wrote, I'm not really good at writing so don't expect to much
-
It's a rainy day in Pelican Town. Almost nobody is outside, everyone but you. As a farmer, it’s your duty to run the farm and make money, even in weather like this. You’re glad it’s just warm rain on a sultry day and not a thunderstorm.
It’s also Wednesday, which means Pierre’s is closed. Still, you decide to take a stroll through town. Nobody is outside, Pelican Town doesn't have many people living here, so it can get pretty lonely sometimes and in days like these, it feels extremly lonely. Like walking through a abandoned area even tho all the places are running.
Your walk eventually leads you to the beach. The wet sand sticks to your shoes as you take your first steps. The rain ripples across the ocean, and the waves a even. From behind you can see the lights in Willy's shop, but you have no interest in going there. Instead, you decide to give Elliott a spontaneous visit. He’s one of the first people you became close with, almost like a friend. You know Elliott values his privacy, especially in the morning when his cabin is usually locked. It’s 11:40 AM now, so hopefully you aren’t interrupting him.
You knock on the old wooden door and wait. The seconds feel longer than usual. Is he not home? The rain grows heavier by the moment, impulsively you turn the door handle and to your surprise, it opens. You rush inside and see Elliott sitting infront of his piano, he seem to not notice you yet, as soon as you close the door a little bit to loud behind you, the piano melody stops.
Elliott turns to face you, his orange hair falls from his shoulder as he tilts his head. "I knew someone was here," he says, standing up from his seat. "What brings you here? Escaping the rain?" He smiles at you with his usual gentle expression.
"I went for a little walk, that’s all," you reply casually.
"In this terrible weather? You’re soaked, you could catch a cold y/n." There was a hint of concern on his ton. Without hesitation, Elliott takes off his red coat and swings it over your shoulders. "I unfortunately don't own a oven or a heater to warm you up", he says, his large hands still on your shoulders.
"It’s fine. I’m used to it by now," you reassure him, trying to make him less worry. Elliott lets go of you, with a thoughtful face he walks over to his desk, leaning over it to write something down. You can see his back muscles through his white shirt and the way his hair falls perfectly on his back.
Elliott turns back to you. "Sorry, I just had a idea for my noval and also sorry for not opening the door. I don't expect people to visit me and I thought an animal or something made that knocking noise." He apologizes.
"It’s fine. You were playing that piano..."
"Oh, yes. Sometimes, I need a break from writing and just play something here and there," he interrupts, placing a hand on the old piano. "I’m not particularly good at it, though-"
"I thought it sounded beautiful," you interrupt him this time.
Elliott smiles and looks to the floor. "Thank you," he chuckles. "I appreciate that. But like I said, I’m not really good, I’m still learning... sort of."
"Could you... play something for me?... maybe?" you ask hesitantly.
Elliott’s eyes light up at your request, as if no one has ever asked him that before. "But of course! Sit down, let me give you a show!" he says excitedly, settling back down at the seat. You carefully sit on the edge of his bed, hoping not to leave a wet stain on it.
Elliott looks at the keys with focus, his fingers standing to tap over the keys almost by itself, it looked smoothly how he plays it. A unidentifiable melody comes from the piano, it doesn't sound sad but not cheerful either. Whatever it means, the only one that knows is Elliott and it sounds beautiful. The rain that ripples on the wood of the cabin, starts to fade into the background as Elliott gets more and more into it.
CONTAINS: sfw, gn! reader, fluff, established relationship, spoilers for his 10 & 14 heart event
NOTES: I haven’t known what types of headcanons to post so I’m hoping this might inspire me. I’m taking requests, by the way, if you’d like to help a girl out! Enjoy!
A = Activities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?
Elliott loves cooking and baking with his spouse! Even if you’re not great at it, he’s happy to teach you! As long as it’s edible, he’s happy and proud of what you made together. That phrase “a way to a man’s heart is through his stomach” applies to him specifically.
B = Beauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?
It’s so hard for him to narrow it down but if he has to, it’s your generosity and strength. He could watch you do farm work for hours (and he has) and he loves that you’re so giving and that you don’t think twice about it.
C = Comfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?
Elliott is at your side immediately, asking how and/or what he can do to help. If you ask for a minute alone, for example, he’s preparing your favorite snack and movie or show. Or maybe a bath or shower, later reading you to sleep. He’s doing whatever he can to help you!
D = Dreams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?
He dreams of the typical white-picket fence dream: marriage, kids, growing old with you. More than that, he wants to take care of you, to protect you, to provide for you. As long as he knows he can do that for you, he can die happy.
E = Equal - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?
I can see this going both ways. I feel like if you’re a woman or very feminine presenting, he’s more likely to take on a dominating role. Subconsciously, he feels like his role as a man if to protect his wife.
F = Fight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?
Yes, without a doubt, yes. Even if you hurt him deeply, he’s already forgiven you long before. To quote James Fraser from Outlander because I feel like Elliott would think the same: "She asked forgiveness, and I gave it. But the truth is, I'd forgiven everything she'd done and everything she could do long before that day. For me, that was no choice. That was falling in love."
G = Gratitude - How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?
He’s eternally grateful for everything you do. For him and for the community. You save him from dying a lonely hermit on the beach! For that, he feels he owes you everything.
H = Honesty - Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?
He’s very open and honest! I don’t think he intentionally keeps secrets. Like with the piano, you didn’t know he could play so beautifully and he would probably not have brought it up unless you found him playing. Or if it didn’t come up in conversation, he probably won’t mention it. Except it’s something actually important, then you can trust he’ll tell you. But in that case, it probably wouldn’t be a secret.
I = Inspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?
You’re his muse! You inspire him every single day. You helped him to write his book. He runs a lot of things by you because he knows that you’ll give him kind constructive criticism.
J = Jealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?
I don’t think he gets jealous easily. He gets jealous like the average person. When he does, however, he becomes passively aggressive. If he notices someone flirting with you, he’ll politely remove you from them and gently scold you. He might be a little petty so you’re probably going to have to apologize a bit more than you normally would.
K = Kiss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?
YUP. He’s a romantic and very in tune with his partner and what they like. Your first kiss with him was magical. He wasn’t clumsy or too rough. It was sweet and gentle.
L = Love Confession - How would they confess to their s/o?
On a shabby little row boat out at sea!
M = Marriage - Do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?
Yes! He feels it’s the natural next step to your relationship. He proposes to you on the beach while the sun sets. Your marriage would be pretty low-key but never lacking. Especially in the bedroom. You both are happy and content with your quiet lives on the farm. Whenever Elliott goes on a book tour, he brings you along, considering it a vacation.
N = Nicknames - What do they call their s/o?
Darling, love, dear, sweetheart, beautiful. He called you darling, love, and dear before but when you started dating, he added ‘my’ in front of it.
O = On Cloud Nine - What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?
Elliott is pretty animated already but even more so when he’s in love. He’s much happier and carries himself more confidently (if you can believe it). I don’t think it’s obvious to anyone but his friends. Leah, for example, notices it almost immediately. He expresses his feelings through writing in his “secret book” of poems expressing his love for you or your likeness captured through a character in one of his books.
P = 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?
Yes, he’s very proud to be yours! He doesn’t necessarily brag but he talks about you whenever he’s given the chance. He’s not shy about physical PDA either. Of course, nothing inappropriate but definitely touching you in some way or kissing you. He’s not in the least bit shy!
Q = Quirk - Some random ability they have that’s beneficial in a relationship.
Elliott is a very smooth talker. He almost always knows exactly what to say. And I know that would otherwise be a red flag but he does stumble over his words frequently too! He never wants to risk loosing you, especially over something that’s his fault.
R = Romance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?
He’s extremely romantic! He’ll happily help you around the farm and later take care of you when you come home: making dinner, bathing you, massaging you. He also loves reciting poetry to you whenever you’ll listen.
S = Support - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?
You can count on him for any sort of support you need and he’ll gladly help you work towards your goal(s). He has always believed in you.
T = Thrill - Do they need to try out new things to spice up your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?
He doesn’t feel like it’s a necessity. He likes adventure on occasion but he’s also very happy and content with your daily routine.
U = Understanding - How good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?
He’s very empathetic towards you. He’s good at remembering details about you too, regardless of how insignificant it may seem. He remembers what you like and don’t like, things you’ve mentioned that you want, or little stories from your past.
V = Value - How important is the relationship to them? What is it’s worth in comparison to other things in their life?
He values your relationship the most out of everything he has! He’ll always put you (and your shared family) first. He loves you more than writing and reading—and that’s saying a lot.
W = Wild Card - A random Fluff Headcanon.
Elliott absolutely hates when people touch his hair. But you’re the only exception. Even though he may tense up a bit at first, he eventually melts into your touch. He trusts you with his life, and more than that, his hair.
X = XOXO - Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?
He’s super affectionate! He loves touching you, whether that’s through hugs, hand-holding, cuddling, or kissing. He takes any chance he gets to tell/show just how much he adores you!
Y = Yearning - How will they cope when they’re missing their partner?
When he went away on his book tour, he took to sending you letters. He also called you at the end of every day. He prefers to call rather to text because he wants to hear your voice.
Z = Zeal - Are they willing to go to great lenghts for the relationship? If so, what kind?
Absolutely! Anything you need—or want, even. You can always count on him. He’d pet a sea cucumber if it’d make you happy.
