okay just imagine before u start dating lonely, touch-starved tom who is horribly unsubtle in his attraction to you yet endearingly earnest... sign me up
from the moment he meets you, tom feels incredibly out of his depth and spends too long talking himself out of his attraction and want for you because he thinks that is what he should do
it's so easy to embarrass him, to get him shy or stumbling over his words
so tom does feel that he is one of the more eligible bachelors on widow's bay but he also does not think that is saying much and his self-confidence ends right about there
so once u start dating, he can sometimes get a tad jealous... sometimes he can get insecure easily and that insecurity spreads a bit insidiously but you can always talk and fuck him out of it
tom feels very useless trying to flirt even when you've been together for months ... sorry he's in his head!!!
he does want your hands on him always, would prefer to always be touching you in some way
very much enjoys when you run your hands through his hair and lightly scratch his scalp, oh he's meltinggg
him coming home wound up SO tightly from trying to run this evil ass island... yeah he needs to destress which includes wolfing down whatever dinner you made and maybe a good bath or shower (with you ofc)
like just looks at you across the bathroom somewhat distantly with sad eyes... and you already know he's asking you to get in with him
like tom will proudly pout to get what he wants and his micro facial expressions are so funny
and yes you do make him blush and his ear sometimes go a bit red, you don't have to rub it in!
omg imagine sleeping and cuddling with tom in just his boxers... sometimes his white undershirts too
might be (is) a lip biter when kissing like first time he did it was on accident, he just got very excited but you both quickly discover he lovesss it
a very intense lover like his eye contact, his touch- firm grip, his voice- always lower and quiet, intense in the best way possible
he's so warm!!! perfect for the new england winters!!! and we don't have to talk abt summers
will install better a/c before he lets u push him away :( a problem solver fr
is all over you like yes he is on you while you're trying to cook breakfast don't let evan see
also on that, i think evan would appreciate your presence and effect on his dad
someone dating tom would have to get along with evan, would have to have a good relationship with him- that is incredibly important to tom when he feels it's serious enough to kind of integrate your lives together
and you do! you love evan and love seeing tom be a father, you see the best of tom in his son and tell him sweet things about his parenting and mayoring skills at night
that might be his favorite part of the day
like him laying in bed shirtless in his boxers frowning retelling you about the latest time he caught evan smoking or city hall drama
this is also when he can get very vulnerable, whispering confessions to you with a pinched brow
wants to permanently cuddle up on the couch with takeout and watch your fav regular tv series you've gotten him invested in and be sickeningly domestic with you, like he has a hard job! he needs this actually
and ofc his dad is way less strict abt him spending the night at pj's having 'sleep over parties' lol ... so a lot of benefits
pda is kind of a no go because tom thinks he's going to end up in the gossip column of the local newspaper (which is fair tbh you did when you first began dating)
he really likes having you on his arm by his side at events
tom loves being needed by someone... esp when that someone is you, but to feel wanted... omg he can't deal

being tom's housewife that does happen to fit perfectly into his family-oriented, wholesome image as mayor of widow's bay (not that that's what tom is focused on of course!) and giving him a baby or two ... like stop evan would be such a fun older brother that any kid would be obsessed with. imagine having a sweet toddler daughter with tom that adores her brother evan (well and tom ofc!) like can you imagine how smug tom would be at your sweet girl running into his arms or going to/calling out for daddy first, etc... yes he is obnoxiously proud of your family.
he does trip and twist his ankle during her first field day in elementary school bc he got too into it... tom absolutely loves doing domestic, family oriented things like yes evan is getting roped into a picnic in the park tom set up... feeling like a stable, traditional familial unit is a genuine rush for him im so serious
