HI ive been brainrotting so could i req naib romantic hcs please?
hi, hope you're having a wonderful start to 2025, lovie! it's been a while, hasn't it? (so sorry i am two years late on this!)
naib subedar x gn!reader - general romantic headcanons ❤️
implied ptsd (naib's), but nothing blatantly discussed!
you're the most wonderful thing to have happened to him in the longest time. he truly, truly treasures you and deeply so.
he's a quiet lover; he'd rather let his actions speak louder, making up for his sparsity in words.
that being said, he loves doing things for you!! oh, you're feeling down today? he soon appears with your favorite drink in hand, holding it out to you, made with his own love.
(/nsx) too tired to bathe yourself? don't worry, he's gently scrubbing your back after a long day.
sometimes, he does struggle with voicing everything he feels.
the love he holds for you runs so deep, yet he could never bring himself to find a way to voice that. all he can do is hope you spot the soft adoration in his eyes as he gazes upon you.
he truly doesn't mean to make you feel unloved; if you asked him to, he would do his best to try affirming his love out loud more often.
his 'i love you's are soft-spoken, a quiet murmur in your ear as the two of you hold each other in bed.
he often gets nightmares, and you have to gently remind him that he can rely on you for comfort. you urge him to wake you up, and he softly hums in acknowledgement; in the end, it's not until much later in your relationship does he let himself wake you up.
in the earlier stages of your relationship, he felt a little guilty. he felt undeserving of your love, of finding solace in you. he believed he was the last person to deserve you.
through your love and time, though, he slowly (very slowly) grows more comfortable in the idea of being loved by you (very, very slowly, though) (did i put enough emphasis on how slow it takes)
you teach him how to look at the world with a little more love, and he teaches you how to take it all a little more slowly :)
in a normal life, outside of the manor, he'd most certainly have a picture of you in his wallet. if someone were to ask about it, he'd tell them that's his spouse/wife/husband.
only lets you mess with his hair!! oh my goodness, his hair is so soft. he doesn't really invest in haircare, but it's still so, so soft and nice. he'd let you braid it, style it, accessorize it, whatever you want (but only behind closed doors).
his love is written in the soft look he has on his face when watching you, in the comforting hold of his hand on your waist, in the little and not-so-little acts he does for you.
speaking of, while it's not his biggest love language, he likes physical touch. he'd rather give it than receive it, but he doesn't mind if you yourself are touchy (i think he just doesn't like being caught off-guard; spontaneous hugs from behind would be a no-go for quiet some time)
he likes caressing your hand, though :) he enjoys cupping the side of your face to observe your features, the face of his beloved.
love lit by candlelight, quiet moments in bed, gentle kisses on the palm of your hand; your love is a soft one :)
not proofread read at all! definitely could do better, and i honestly really liked writing for naib, so i might come back to him again...
