Dating/Being intimate with Maul - NSFW gn!Reader Headcanons
Mauls desperate desire for an apprentice is apparent, but he also yearns for an equal. Not superior, nor inferior - Equal. Two halves of the same coin, similar yet so different.
He doesn't want to be the leader of his relationship, nor follow. Equal, you and him. Him and you. Together as one.
He's never expressed any of this, though. Why? What's the point? He's never met his match; plenty of apprentices, sure. But never a match, someone to not only ignite his passion, but also keep it burning.
Despite what people assume, Maul isn't some rough, forceful, vicious lover. He's not pushy. What is the point of being intimate, if it isn't reciprocated? He wants his partner to want him, just as much as he wants them.
Maul is a bold and forward character. He won't allow others to make him feel small or inferior. So, he expect his partner to be the same - lift him up, excite and arouse him, and sometimes, challenge him.
Maul is father flirtatious, with the right person. He's not raunchy, or crude. He can be cheeky at times, sure, but rarely when others can overhear his flirtatious remarks.
He wants you all for himself. No sharing. No wandering eyes. If you're going to commit to him, then you have to commit to him, and him alone, and he'll do the same with you.
Maul isn't one for riches and jewels. He's not going to spend thousands of credits on jewellery that you'll never wear. Maybe an odd item here or there, but he'd rather spend those credits on things you actually need/want; new clothes, repairs, etc.
Maul isn't one for a quickie, or making love in an uncomfortable place. You won't be hooking up in a storage cupboard with him!
Silk sheets, dim lighting, plenty of foreplay, safe word at the ready if either of you need it.
This man had a fantastic vocabulary range, is well-mannered, stands tall and proud… why would he rush things for a quickie in the cockpit? Or during a time when he can't relax, and enjoy you for hours on end?
To nobody's surprise, Maul can purr. It's not something he can do on demand, nor does he often notice that he's doing it. It's just a natural reaction that kicks in whenever he feels truly safe and content, usually as he's drifting off to sleep.
Maul is a giver. Yes, he likes receiving, but you're the one person who he feels this intimate bond with, so he's going to ensure that he keeps you happy, and satisfies all of your needs.
His main love language is physical touch. To go all these years alone, then finding you? He won't be too public about it, minus resting his hand on your lower back every so often, but behind closed doors, Maul is grabby and attentive.
His horns aren't as sensitive as people assume. They're just bone, after all. It's nice to run your fingertips around them, but please don't grab onto them like he's some kind of bull!
Markings are a sign of possession, which Maul enjoys. Not intense bruises or whip marks! Hickeys, light scratches from his horns or nails. You're more than welcome to leave them on him too, if you can find the space through his heavily tattooed body.
And he doesn't care if others notice them. It probably won't take long for others to realise that you two are an item, especially given how protective Maul is over you.
Protective, not possessive. You are your own person, after all, and Maul finds it amusing when someone steps out of line, and attempts to flirt with you.
Cut to a looming shadow over your shoulder with piercing orange eyes. Yeah, they're not going to attempt flirting with you ever again.
Maul is quite the cuddler, especially after sex. He's not clingy, but he enjoys having you in his arms, or vice versa. This is the time when he'll babble on about present things on his mind, usually 'work' related.
He's already quite open with you, but this is the open door for you to push ideas in his direction, and really assist him through his quiet pleas for support.
Overall, he's very patient and attentive. However, there's a high bar to reach if he's interested in you. He won't settle, especially for someone who doesn't meet his needs, or life goals.
In a life full of chaos, misery, desperation, hatred, Maul needs someone who can ground him. A firm, yet gentle word whenever he's going overboard, or a hand to cling onto when times are tough.
He won't play games. He won't string you along. If you aren't interested, then that's fine, but don't expect him to chase after you. Make your interest clear, flirt a little, and show him that you can be the safe space that he so desires.
I keep thinking about deathbed thoughts. I don’t know why this has been on my mind lately. What the fuck am I going to be thinking when I’m dying? I don’t want to look back on my memories, and just see slates and hotel rooms and press junkets. So I’m trying to figure out a way to make that all not just something that I sleepwalk through, you know?
Apr 2025: "I would love to work again with Gael. He’s one of my closest friends and one of the persons I love most in life and in cinema as well, he was an incredible co-author of The Diaries."
“I love the idea of cinema being done by a family, and Gael is certainly part of that family… we see each other all the time but we haven’t worked together as much as we want but… wait.”
