Headcanons Girls with Scars edition
These are headcanon ideas that I just think fit these two.
Nate teaches Pen how to shoot hoops, and she’s terrible at first but then surprises him by making a half-court shot. He’s so proud he carries her around the gym like she just won the championship.
Pen has a soft spot for stray animals. She’s secretly been feeding a scrappy little cat that hangs around the auto shop, and she’s trying to work up the courage to bring it home.
Pen has a habit of humming when she’s focused. Nate loves it because it’s the only time she seems completely at ease.
Nate is a morning person and always shows up to practice early. Coach thinks it's because he's dedicated, but really, it's because he likes the quiet of the gym before everyone else arrives.
Nate has a habit of fidgeting with a basketball or really anything ball-shaped when he's nervous or deep in thought. Pen teases him about it, but she finds it endearing.
He's terrible at keep plants alive but keeps trying because he thinks it's a metaphor for his life. Pen eventually takes over watering them for him.
Pen's favorite place in town is an old, abandoned drive-in theater. She goes there to think and sometimes drags Nate along to stargaze.
Nate starts leaving little notes for Pen in her locker. At first, they're just silly doodles or encouraging messages, but eventually, they become love letters.
Pen and Nate once got locked in the school gym overnight. They spent the time playing truth or dare and ended up falling asleep on the bleachers.
Pen has a habit of stealing Nate's hoodies, and he pretends to be annoyed but secretly loves it.
Pen and Nate have a shared Spotify playlist that they add to whenever they hear a song that reminds them of each other. It's a chaotic mix of rock, indie, and cheesy love songs.
