Ok, been working on this for awhile, and this was my intended contribution for Gravesbeaks week today, so here it is! This is by no means a fully comprehensive list because we for real have way too many HCs for this couple, but @justbirdfurrythings and I did our best to collect as many of our ideas together as we could so have some headcanons!
○ Mark has terrible handwriting (practically illegible) due to him constantly typing rather than actually bothering to pick up a pen, and Falcon is literally the only person who can read it (although it is several months into their relationship before he can actually understand it).
○ Falcon never experienced preening before he met Mark as he was raised by a father who considered such emotional contact “unmanly” and a sign of weakness so the first few times he did it to Mark it was pretty much the most graceless thing ever.
○ Mark helps him work past many of these “manly bird of prey” stereotypes and Falcon appreciates it more than he would ever say.
○ When Mark really wants to give Falcon a special gift he does something “non-digital” for him since he knows Falcon appreciates handmade gifts more. They usually look like a 5 year old made them, but Falcon genuinely loves it anyway.
○ If Falcon wants to do something special he’ll actually post on social media. Mark swoons every time.
○ Mark suffers such terrible panic attacks when he doesn’t have his phone that Falcon eventually starts carrying a few backup ones for him just in case.
It is still Falcon’s goal in life to get Mark to spend less time staring at his phone screen.
○ Falcon despises the pet names “bae” and “boo” but Mark uses them anyway.
On the other hand, Falcon adores when Mark calls him Gravesy. He’ll never admit it though.
○ When Mark is particularly anxious Falcon will pet the back of his neck or head and it is one of the few things that truly calms him.
○ When Falcon is feeling anxious he will pet Mark’s tail. He often doesn’t even notice he’s doing it, but Mark learned to silently offer it when Falcon needs that comfort.
○ Mark refuses to let Falcon pay for almost anything despite giving him an insanely large salary. He continues to pay that unnecessarily high salary for a long time because he’s afraid Falcon will leave him if he doesn’t.
○ Falcon has serious insomnia issues due to often working at night in his previous professions, and it gets worse when he starts getting paranoid about Mark’s safety. The only thing he ever found to help him cope was petting or preening Mark for hours until he calms down enough to actually fall asleep.
○ Mark has the tendency to inadvertently hurt himself due to his own carelessness and Falcon will scold him for it while simultaneously petting him (he gets scared that his idiot parrot will get himself killed).
○ Falcon doesn’t do mornings. Don’t you dare talk to him until he’s had at least two cups of tea. Mark talks his ear off anyway.
○ Falcon eventually learns to make Mark’s stupidly specific coffees because he likes making stuff for him. He claims it’s just for efficiency. It’s not.
○ PDA makes Falcon super uncomfortable. Mark both tries to keep it to a minimum and seriously enjoys surprising Falcon with public smooches or butt pinches just because it’s one of the few things that really makes him blush.
○ Mark has a habit of dancing around his room in his underwear singing along to K pop songs. Falcon records it every single time. Mark has no idea he watches the videos in private when he misses him. He would kill him if he did.
○ Falcon “sneakily” begs for preens by subtly laying his head on various Mark body parts. He is neither sneaky nor subtle, but Mark lets him think he is.
○ Falcon is legitimately jealous of Mark’s phones and will sometimes crush them just because Mark isn’t giving him enough attention.
○ Excessive and prolonged yelling is an extreme emotional trigger for Falcon (because of his father) and Mark has had to comfort him on more than one occasion because of it.
○ Mark has tried numerous times to get Falcon to do yoga with him. Falcon absolutely hates it and would rather just lift weights, but he appreciates Mark’s flexibility immensely.
