Could you maybe drop some fluffy headcanons for Franco? Like what do you think soft moments look like for him? (I really love your headcanons they’re so good)
OMG thank you!! it's so nice to hear that🫶😊
I love fluff!
This will contain softer and more romantic musings^^
Franco Barbi fluff headcanons
Imagine that you and Franco have formed a very strong (albeit unhealthy) bond...
-Franco loves to gaze at you and notice even the smallest changes. Did you get a manicure, trim your hair a little, put on makeup? Franco will immediately notice and comment on it. Not necessarily a compliment (though most of the time it is), but he'll definitely say something like "Decided to put on a lil' mascara today, sweetness?". Franco won't be able to help himself and will definitely touch you - tuck your hair behind your ear to get a better look at your new earrings (expect a quick kiss on the ear), take your hand in his to examine a bracelet you recently bought (after which he'll kiss your knuckles). Nothing will go unnoticed
-Deep down, he'll hope that you notice little details about him too. Franco can't take compliments about his appearance at all, so a good alternative is to compliment his style! "I like your new tie, darling. Goes real nice with your shirt" believe me, he truly appreciates your words. That item you praised automatically becomes one of his favorites; you liked it, and that's a sign of good quality and taste. Pride and confidence fill him when he wears a suit you've complimented. But the most important thing is your attention! you see how hard he tries. You're not indifferent to him
-Sometimes he can't focus properly because he gets too caught up in looking at you. He often catches himself having spent several minutes not listening to what you're saying, but instead studying every feature of your face and how they shift with different emotions. He was supposedly listening to your story about how you accidentally broke a plate during breakfast, but a second later all his attention switched to how adorably you furrow your brows in frustration. Sometimes Franco unconsciously mimics your expressions. You smiled? He didn't even notice how he smiled back at you, even though he didn't quite catch what you said
-There are times when it's just the two of you, Franco gets too carried away and his brain simply shuts off and he just listens to the sound of your voice. Yk, it's like talking to dogs who don't care what you're saying, as long as you're using a soft tone lol
-I briefly mentioned this earlier - Franco loves physical touch. If you're in public, it's more restrained gestures - holding your arm, a hand on the small of your back, a quick kiss on the cheek. When you're alone, his touches become more lingering. If you're also a fan of cuddles (and everything else) and you often initiate it, Franco will be pleasantly surprised. At first, it's very unfamiliar to him. It's unlikely anyone ever touched him so tenderly and affectionately before, without a particular reason (and without sexual intentions). Maybe he'll even feel a little uncomfortable because of these new sensations. Don't be afraid, he'll still reciprocate your touches and quickly get used to them. Because physical contact means a lot to him. For Franco, it's confirmation that you don't find him repulsive and that you're willing to stay by his side
-He really likes it when you adjust his clothes - his tie, shirt collar, hat. Small acts of care here and there are always pleasant
-Sometimes Franco places his hands on either side of your face and gently strokes your cheeks. You look very cute when he holds you like that (this works both ways btw)
-If you ever asked him to brush your hair, he would do it. Why not? He's not very good at it the first few times, because he pulled your hair too tight and tugged the brush too sharply, but each time he got better and better. Maybe someday he'll even try to do a little hairstyle for you. It puts him in a kind of trance. Calms him down. Plus, he likes the smell of your hair. Nothing but pros!
-Franco expresses his love through gifts. He buys random things that remind him of you or that you might like. Clothes, jewelry, flowers, desserts. A lot of things he associates with you, so this happens quite often. And he doesn't care how expensive the item is
-He loves to feed you. Franco isn't used to taking care of anyone, because no one ever took care of him. So he expresses his love the way he can, in his own way. He knows for a fact that all people like two things - money and food! And he relies on that. Taking you to expensive restaurants is a normal thing for Franco. You can order whatever you want, I don't think he cares at all about you "eating too much," let alone the price of the dishes. On the contrary, he'd really like it if his partner had a good appetite! If you finish your portion, he'll ask if you'd like to eat something else. Even if you refuse, he'll still order dessert for both you and himself. God forbid you don't like something - Franco will rudely tell the waiters exactly what he thinks of their "damned insult to cookin" that they call a high-class restaurant for some reason (you just mentioned the soup seemed a bit too salty). Sometimes he doesn't mind cooking something for you himself, though it happens rarely, but it does happen. He probably doesn't know how to cook anything complicated, but he does know some simple recipes. He'll make something, taking into account your shared preferences. Having a little romantic dinner at home sounds like a nice idea to relax. Honestly, he'd even be happy if you gained weight because of all this - a sign that he's taking good care of you, and you're accepting that care (as a person with an eating disorder I'm trying not to suffocate myself rn)
-Don't even think about suggesting sleeping separately. No. It even sounds unnatural and he won't consider that option. How can he sleep peacefully knowing that in the next room lies his beautiful, soft, and warm beloved, who looks like she was made just for his embraces and kisses?
-Franco's favorite way to fall asleep quickly - laying his head on your chest while you stroke his head. He listens intently to your rhythmic heartbeat, feeling the softness of your nightgown against his cheek and the way your hand pleasantly scratches his head while playing with his hair. He'll fight sleep until the very end, but he'll fall asleep first. By the way, when you're both free and resting at home, you have a designated hour for a daytime nap together
-The surest way to wake Franco up is to kiss his whole face! Usually, he's irritated when someone wakes him, but in this case, waking up will be much more pleasant. It's as if he really is a prince, because you treat him so specially. Franco will gladly return the favor! He'll pull you into a long kiss and then leave little kisses on your cheeks and nose (I hope you don't mind the smell of his breath). Franco is ready to spend the whole day with you like this
-Kisses are a must before he leaves for his business. Franco tells you they bring him luck. He doesn't mind if someone from the mafia sees the trace of your lipstick on his cheek that he didn't wipe off well enough😌
-Franco adores when you shower together. But I want to talk about this in a separate post. Would you be interested?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Thank you for reading! I've never written headcanons before so I hope this wasn't too bad....... I still had to remove some points because I found them unnecessary or unfitting. Or rewrite everything several times because sometimes the text wouldn't save 😢 Anyway, everything is saved in my drafts. Honestly, I'd like to post a second part where I'll include them
I especially want to apologize to the Anon who sent this ask, IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO WRITE THIS😭 But I enjoyed it!!
