Bear Shifter! Honey x Guy Headcanons (And just general Honey headcanons)
Honey was very nervous about telling Guy they were a shifter and put it off for a long time. They broke covert as a kid by shifting while playing with other kids and while the kids thought it was cool, the parents freaked out. Memories had to be altered and Honey had to have a lot of talks about why keeping covert was important.
Guy, while confused at first, was totally supportive after they transformed and proved that magic was real. He asks a lot of questions, and was disappointed that he couldn’t be ‘turned’ like in the movies. He always asks them to show him the limited magical skills they have. Honey has a decent grasp on psychokinesis and they’re working on improving their healing.
Once Guy found out, Honey is not safe from all the bear puns, jokes or nicknames. He uses them all the time. “Can I have a bear hug?” “Honey, you’re being unbearable” “I hate to be the bearer of bad news but…” “What do you mean I can’t go around bear foot? You do all the time!” “Oh Honeybear…is that a blush? Are you em-bear-assed?” “You’ll have to bear with me” “You know I can’t bear to be without you!”
There aren’t many bear shifters in Dahlia, like their animal counterparts, they’re pretty solitary. Honey knows the other bear shifters in town, but they’d barely be considered acquaintances. They run into each other every so often at empowered events and that’s pretty much it.
Honey has a natural resting bitch face and they’re big and tall so other people tend to avoid them. Honey has grown pretty used to it so they’re more surprised when people actually approach them. They have two really good friends they hang out with.
Guy met them when they showed up to answer his ‘looking for a roommate’ ad. They needed a place to stay in Dahlia for college and thought that finding someone to room with would be the best option finances wise. Guy wasn’t intimidated at all, instead he considered it a challenge to get them to open up.
He knew he was in trouble the first time he got them to laugh. Not just a little chuckle, a full belly laugh that had their cheeks flush and their eyes tear up a little and even getting them to snort. He knew that he’d developed feelings for his roommate and oh god they were roommates. It was then that his teasing and jokes got even more flirty than they already were.
Honey likes it when Guy lays on top of them, his head on their chest when they’re watching TV or gaming. Their fingers playing in his hair as they relax. Guy has fallen asleep on them multiple times in that position, especially when he’s had a rough day. Honey, of course, will carry him to bed.
Guy loves it when Honey shifts and he can cuddle with a giant bear that won’t maul him. He thinks their bear form is adorable instead of scary, which Honey finds odd considering they’re giant and could easily squish him.
Honey gets overprotective of Guy, despite their grumpy exterior. They’ve threatened to go find the customers that have tried to ruin his day and ‘teach them some fucking manners’. Only Guy clinging to them gets them to stay put. But if someone is a douche to him in front of them…Guy will realize that their ‘love taps’ are just that when they flatten the offender out.
Honey loves to bake, everything is homemade and nothing from a box mix. If they’re dealing with stress, they tend to stress bake. They also like to donate things to empowered bake sales to support the cause. Guy is the self-appointed taste tester, he would just hate to have them turn in something that wasn’t good. (It's never not good, he just needed an excuse)
