Chosen love language: Acts of service.
Guards and takes care of people he loves. Protecting them in arguments, fighting for them…. He is dedicated to his duty of preserving the truth and keeping his intentions without perversion from any source. He wants to serve the people he loves and make them feel special and safe. Wants them to be honest with them and let them know that they can be honest with him.
Really fucks with him to completely ignore all of those on purpose and act like he doesn’t do anything, or call what he does ‘the bare minimum.’ Feeds into unhealthy thoughts and gets paranoid.
Although he’s put on a pedestal and told he is special, he rarely gets to feel that way as a person. When someone chooses to spend time with him outside of work he gets kind of excited and he feels slightly safer. Not too much to let his guard down but enough to be honest with himself and really open up. He would probably go on about his day. Hates being ignored and lied to. Goes on a lot about how important it is to have trust, mutual love and stuff, makes u promise and swear to god. Type to get married.
Chosen love language: gift giving.
Makes up lack of affective empathy w/ gift giving, hoping to convey it in an understandable way. He gets pretty hyper specific gifts depending on the person, always asking specific questions, you just have to get used to it at some point. Tries to make sure questions aren’t too on the nose, wants to make you curious and hyped up for his creation for you.
Gets really hurt when people find his gifts under/overwhelming and throw them away, he’s been seeing more and more creations in the trash. He’s always happy to explain and make it more palatable for them, for them to not even attempt and blindly discard them after feigning understanding is cruel to him.
Soft spot: physical touch.
Likes playful touch, squish his face, flick his forehead, boop his nose a bunch of times, RUB HIS BELLY!!! He really likes new interesting sensations, they make him feel excited and entertained. He sometimes does those things to you to get you to do them back but is pretty accepting when he doesn’t receive it.
Things get really different when it’s genuine affection though, staring back at him and taking charge. Hugging and snuggling with him and caressing his face. Rubbing his neck and back. He doesn’t really know how to react and looks off to the slide slightly, chuckles nervously a lot and he gets all red. Tries to engage with it sincerely, Although he wants to keep things light hearted, he can really give into the sensation of being held. Leaning a lot into it and genuinely appreciating it.
