Thaddeus dating headcannons
This man has like NOTHING written about him, which is a shame because I LOVE him. So I guess I'll just have to do it myself </3
Oh man he’s such a cutie batootie
He's so awkward about everything relationship wise
Bad kisser. I’m sorry. He has absolutely no experience with that kind of thing so you have to take the lead and teach him how to do most relationship things
Can’t really take you out anywhere cause y'know, the wasteland (this only becomes worse after he starts turning into a ghoul)
He’s so nervous around you and definitely still stutters sometimes when he's talking to you
Can’t believe that he pulled anyone, let alone you
Will share pretty much anything with you
Food, drinks, caps, beds, shit even clothes are all split 50/50
If you’re around when he was running that little cap business thing with the kids, he LOVED it
Loved watching you interact with and help the kids
Definitely caused him to have thoughts about having kids with you
He knew that not only was it not possible physically, but neither of you would be able to take care of any kids of your own cause the wasteland fucking sucks
But it didn’t stop him from fantasising about it
Talks about you to anyone who will listen. Maximus knows more about you than he’d like
Tries to remember all the little things about you; favourite foods and drinks, what part of the wasteland you’re from, plans for the future, even little things like what side of the bed you prefer to sleep on
Keeps them in a little journal that he keeps on his person at all times
It also has little sketches of you. They aren’t very good but the effort is there
He’d DIE if you ever found it
Pretty clingy but more out of a fear of you leaving
Almost always has a hand on you or is touching you in some kind of way
And if he's not touching you, you’re in his eyesight and within arms reach
“I’ll protect you” then gets scared over a radroach
Unless you met in the brotherhood, he tries to keep you away from it as much as possible
Not only to keep himself safe, but he knows how fucked up they can be sometimes and would hate for anything to happen to you (no hate to the brother hood tho, I love them)
Tells you he loves you so often
Leaving to go to a nearby town to pick up supplies? I love you
Handing him something? I love you
Sneezing? Bless you, I love you
Anyone who disagrees is wrong and I do not take criticism
Loves being babied a little bit
If you hit him with a little “wow, you’re so strong” after he’s picked something up he’ll melt into the floor
Validation and praise is his weakness
CRAVES it like a thirsty man craves water
He loves you sososososoosososo much and will never let you forget it
