Random Tanner Headcanons
Just Part One of probably a million. There’s a lot of them, haha. Hope you enjoy ;)
General Headcanons
When he first becomes obsessed with you, there is no way he slowly sidles up to you and earns your interest over time. He’s a patient man, but not that patient. Your first meeting is likely going to be him clambering through your window, syringe raised high - so I hope you’re okay with that (he really couldn’t care less).
Once he’s got it into your head that you’re his, you’ll get a chance to earn his trust. You might even get to the point where he’ll let you’ll live a decently normal life; shopping, hanging out with friends, visiting family, etc. He’s happy as long as you keep him updating on what you’re doing and where you’re going (although he definitely already knows).
Don’t you dare try leaving. He will catch you, and you will not be getting another shot at a decent life. He is not a trusting man at heart, and you breaking that trust? Definitely not.
He definitely has cameras and trackers everywhere around you, and he’ll definitely be using them. He keeps an eye on you no matter where he is or what he’s doing - from working to stalking a potential victim.
Most likely has trackers on your phone - maybe even one on (or in) you.
He tries not to be overbearing (at least not obviously so), but will shoot you a text or two throughout the day, just to check in. Stalking watching you isn’t the same as interaction, after all.
He can get very possessive. He doesn’t mind anything unless they decide to touch you - it could be a friend or a stranger, anyone of any gender, even any type of touch - and he tenses up so much it’s unbelievable. Probably better to refrain from physical contact with others when he’s nearby.
Tanner doesn’t have a great sense of smell, persay, but he’s got your scent down pat. If anything is out of the ordinary, he will notice. New shampoo? Yeah, he smells that. Best friend that hugged you and patted your head earlier? Yeah, he smells that too, and he’s got some choice words and a disapproving stare all ready for you.
He’ll watch you sleep, Edward Cullen style. You’ll wake up in the middle of the night with the back of your neck tingling, and look over to see him sitting up in bed, just watching you. Sometimes it’s innocent. Sometimes he’s imagining your corpse.
He insists on sleeping closest to the door. He will not have it any other way. This is one of the things you do not - repeat, do not - test him on. He’d rather shove a sleeping pill down your throat and force you to lay on your side of the bed than sleep away from the door.
For some reason, he knows all of your clothing sizes...from shirt to shoe. Who knows why.
He gets underestimated a lot; he’s a lot stronger and faster than you would guess from first glance.
He’s very smart and very clever. Also very observant and a quick learner, and his memory is one of the best you’ve ever seen.
He’s a great listener. Really, 10/10. And not one of those ‘great’ listeners that aren’t really listening and just let you bounce words off them. He likely won’t offer any advice unless you specifically request - he knows how annoying it can be to have people intervene - but rest assured, he’s definitely listening.
As long as you respect him as the alpha of your relationship, he’s pretty relaxed with you.
He loves giving you massages - neck massages, scalp massages, back massages...foot massages are his favorite, of course ;p
Tanner just loves showering you in affection, really. His way of saying thanks for putting up with his strange, intense kinks.
Speaking of which...
NSFW Headcanons
Definitely steals your panties, maybe even a couple of shirts. He might give them back if you ask nicely, but only if you ask really nicely...
Rape play? Yeah. Knife play? Also yeah. Definitely set a safe word with this guy. He won’t mind, though - he’d rather you trust him anyway.
He’ll definitely patch you up afterwards - this man has the Aftercare skill at 100. It makes the really rough nights even sweeter afterwards.
Definitely has somnophiliac tendencies. Some nights you’ll wake up and he’s staring, and some nights you’ll wake up because he’s doing...other...things.
Also most definitely is into feet.
