💓romantic gestures beckett would make💓
(saw someone else share their sweet headcanons for other characters, had to sit back and ask myself what this little shit would do. romance is alive and well etc)
- eliminates minor inconveniences in your life without telling you (the inconveniences include people. you were not aware of them being inconvenient at all)
- stands slightly closer to you than he does to others. do not get used to it
- has your schedule memorised. you did not give it to him
- gives you a look from across the room that could mean anything (it means everything to him)
- almost touches you. thinks about it later. deeply.
- trusts you with information he absolutely should not share. expects you to understand the weight of that without him saying so
- tests your loyalty in increasingly deranged ways and calls it bonding
- weaponises silence. you are expected to interpret it correctly
- asks you how you would kill him. this is deeply erotic to him (stole this from @kniightslayer’s fic an end to sins and reverie. hi sloan, i think about it every day)
- remembers one (1) preference you have and never acknowledges it out loud but silently enforces it everywhere
- does something genuinely thoughtful and then immediately undermines it by pretending it meant nothing
- spares someone you care about and expects lifelong devotion in return. may revoke this at any time
- allows you to speak freely in his presence. privilege granted. terms and conditions apply
- allows you to disagree with him. up to a point. do not find that point
- plans your entire future together without ever asking you
- lets you see him tired. vulnerability babey. do not ever mention it
- gets jealous once, says absolutely nothing about it, and instead ruins someone’s career
- manipulates you into marriage 🥰 or lifelong service. how cute!
- briefly considers your happiness as a factor. briefly. blink and you’ll miss it
- says your name in a slightly softer tone and then thinks about it for the next six months.
- lets you please him. how kind of him. truly generous
- says you’re a valuable asset. this is as close as we get to a love confession. awww
- thinks all of the above counts as emotional vulnerability <3
