Dating Tate Langdon Would Include
You met him when you first moved into the house
He showed up in your room introducing himself as your neighbor
You didn’t think much of it as he quickly began sorting through your music collection
“Do you got any Kurt Cobain?”
“Yeah, its…. right here!”
“That’s so cool. I never find anybody else who listens to him,”
“The older stuff is the best, isn’t it?”
“Tell me about it.”
He just sorta came around after that
Whenever you came home from school he’d be waiting for smoking outside your door
If you question him about it he just pushes it off or uses the excuse he’s homeschooled
He’ll show up at your bedroom door and come in and talk to you
Or just listen to music
He tries to help you with your homework but he’s only good at Art
Which he frequently shows his drawings to you
Their mostly gothic portraits that usually predict the person smoking
It carries the 90s grunge style he loves
Sometimes, he tries to teach you to draw
Which is just his excuse to put his hand on yours
Tate has been alone for a while (before and after Violet)
So he falls for you pretty easily
It’s the little things about you that get him in the beginning
Your lovely taste in music
The fact your both calming and quiet while still being spontaneous
How he can bitch around with you and you don’t get offended, just bitch right back at him
Then when you two got closer he just fell in love
You weren’t scared to pry
Asking him things about his past and his family
“How come your homeschool? I mean, Westfield isn’t that bad,”
“It was just some stupid shit-”
“Don’t bullshit me, Tate, tell me the truth.”
You were slightly pushy but he kind of liked it
Plus he loved how you were unconsciously affectionate
When he’d show up at your house you’d always greet him with a hug, then shy away
When his dirty blonde curls would fall into his face you’d brush your fingers against the curls and fix them out of his face
Your eyes drifting down to his lips
Or the times you’d fallen asleep while listening to music and pulled him closer
While still denying the fact you were just as needy as he was
Finally, after he brazenly flirted with you, he made a move
You were both in the front of your yard
Sitting on the rail of the porch while passing around a blunt
You looked at him as he exhaled through his nose, a goofy smile on your face
You were always more emotional when you were high
“What?” he asked mimicking your smile.
“Nothing,” you said “Your just pretty,” you laughed.
He laughed to wrapping his arm around you “Come here,” he said pulling you close
You scooted and pressed against his side looking up at him with red eyes
Then he pressed his lips against yours
The next day, you remembered what had happened
You tried to ignore Tate
But with him (secretly living in your house) almost always there to the point, your parents gave him a key
He found you quicker than you expected
He had you pressed against the closest
“Look… you don’t have to pretend that you like me. I’ll understand if you don’t,” You said looking down.
Tate just stared at you confused for a second before he shook his head and laughed
“Kitten, I kissed you first. I want you… do I need to prove that?”
You looked up with a quiet gasp as he swooped to brush his lips against yours
“Please, will you be my girlfriend?”
“God, yes…”
Tate is a surprisingly affectionate boyfriend, he tones down after a few months, though
Whenever Tate is around (which is always) his arm is always around you
He’s always touching you
Holding hands, having his arm around you, keeping his hand on your thigh, on your back - just anywhere, really
He loves distracting you
If you’re trying to study, he puts his hand on your thigh and just rubs slowly
He’ll move closer to you and kiss up to your neck
He sucks at that spot that just makes you melt and bite at your lip
“Tate, I really have to get this – mhmm – done.”
He’ll just shush you brushing hair out of your face
“That can wait ‘til later,” he says pulling you closer to him
He still is a sarcastic fuck, though
“Tate, I get that you don’t like her. You can dislike her… not everyone has good taste.”
“Kind of like her music, right?”
*going off on a tangent about something the school should do, in a serious manner*
“Babe, you shouldn’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.”
*rolls eyes*
“Stop throwing pillows at me! When someone is being dumb, it is my obligation to enlighten them with a sarcastic comment!”
He can be really serious when you need him to
If your upset at anything, he just wants you to feel better
So he’ll come over and he’ll hold you
Stroking your hear while he tries to get you to talk to him
“Kitten… everything is going to be fine. Do you wanna talk about? If you wanna talk about, I’ll listen,” he prods.
If you struggle with depression or (most) other mental illness, he understands completely
It’s one of the few things he took from his past life
He’s just very understanding
If you find out about his dark part he tries his best to prove he’s different
He tries to tell you about how he didn’t remember he did that
He’s clearly upset as he does but you just don’t know if it’s true
So you avoid him for a little
He gives you your own space but after a week or two he starts leaving little notes
“I miss you”
“I’m sorry”
“I never meant to”
You try your best to ignore them and think of what you’ll do
You come to the conclusion that since Tate hasn’t hurt anyone you love he might be better
So you walk into your room seeing Tate walk that way and see a new note on your bed
“I love you”
You rush around the house and finally decide he must be in the basement
“Tate?” you call out “I wanna talk…”
“Are you mad at me?” He asks quickly.
You look over at him with sad eyes “No,” you tell him “I… I miss you… and I figured since you never hurt me or anyone I love. You might be better.”
He’d give you this hopeful smile and practically run other to you
He just wraps you in his arms burying his head in your shoulder
“I love you so much,” he cries
“I love you too, Tate”
