indie sleaze bf headcanons
despite his loud persona, he's actually quite soft spoken. at parties, when he's not allowing himself to be the centre of attention, he will whisper quiet commentary about the attendees. sometimes gossip, sometimes just telling you if he 'likes their vibe'. he loves to people watch with you, especially in crowded rooms.
he does enjoy getting rowdy on occasion but most of the time, he prefers to keep the recklessness to his gigs. when it's just the two of you, especially when you're in public, he'll try to keep things lowkey. small cafés, libraries and coffee dates - places where things can be intimate. on the other hand, when he's in the mood for it, he'll drag you onto a bar top and dance with you. or take you out to a club and crash the dj booth for a surprise set. dating him is a real rollercoaster.
i think he's pretty big on pda, he definitely puts the sleaze in indie sleaze if you know what i mean. he'll kiss you anywhere. he believes that he should be able to be affectionate no matter who's watching. and a small part of him likes to show people that he's the only person who gets to touch you that way.
he struggles a bit to open up emotionally at the start of your relationship and tries to overcompensate a bit with giving you gifts and going on as many dates as possible. it's hard for him to be vulnerable, even though he loves and trusts you. after weeks of flowers and nonstop coffee shops, he'll sit down on your bedroom floor and gush about everything he's feeling.
he loves having you in the recording studio with him but his producer hates it. he's very easily distracted by you and will often slip out of his 'dare' voice and into his regular demeanor. you've been turned away by his team countless times but as soon as he knows you're in the building, he'll be trying to pull you into the room with him.
