Warnings: food, very very brief mentions of injuries and not in depth, fluff and cuddles and love and eWw
Alex enjoys showing his love through doing favours. He especially enjoys it when he’s able to show off his strength and how reliable he is, lifting up heavy crates full of the seasons produce, carrying in piles of wood for the fireplace, pushing things around in the wheelbarrow, moving furniture and so on. He especially loves it when you praise him for his work and compliment his muscles. On top of this, he likes to cook you protein packed meals occasionally for breakfast or dinner.
“Here you go, baby,” Alex placed a steaming plate of food before you. “It’ll promote muscle growth so you can keep getting bigger like me! Either way, I can't have you working on an empty stomach!”
Receiving: words of affirmation/physical touch
Alex really enjoys words of affirmation in the form of assurance and compliments. He loves it when you tell him that he’s doing good at something or tell him that he’s doing something just right. With compliments, he loves hearing how nice you think his hair looks or how big and strong his muscles are. When it comes to physical affection, he really loves having your hands on his body. Touching his muscles, massaging him when he’s sore, cupping his face and giving him a smooch… he adores it. He likes it if you hug his arm, and he may or may not flex whenever you do so.
Giving: words of affirmation/physical affection
It’s not much of a surprise that Elliot shows his love through words. He is a writer, after all. He enjoys pouring his heart out to you through poems and love letters, along with murmuring sweet nothings into your ears as you two lay in bed. He loves to show affection through gentle, delicate touches as well, holding you close in these moments and slowly rubbing his hand up and down your back. The feeling of your body laying so close to him is so precious to him, reassuring him that you’re right here and will remain forevermore.
Receiving : acts of services/quality time
Whenever you wash, brush, and style his hair, rub his sore neck and shoulders, make him food when he forgets to eat, he really appreciates it. He occasionally has a hard time remembering to take care of himself when he gets sucked into his own world while writing. Whenever he manages to pull himself away and take a break, he likes to make up for lost time with you. He likes to take candle-lit soaks in the bath with you rubbing his (expensive) shampoo into his scalp, making small talk in lowered voices and figuring out plans for later in the week. He likes when you two go out for picnics with wine and crab cakes you made just for him. It makes him feel so good to know that you care enough to do these sorts of things for him, to take care of him the way that you do, to help him with his routines and to make sure he sticks to them.
“Thank you, my love,” Elliot hummed, resting his head against your shoulder. “You mean more than you could ever imagine to me,” he pecked your cheek.
Harvey knows that you have a lot of work to do on the farm, so whenever he can, he likes to lighten the load for you. He finds pleasure in getting up extra early to ensure he’s awake before you to feed the animals or water the crops if needed, cleaning up around the house, or just making a healthy nutritious breakfast for you to eat in bed. He takes pride in being able to clean and patch you up whenever you get an injury (although a bit of scolding is bound to come along with it) and being able to take good care of you when you’re sick, making sure you don’t push yourself too far. Sure, it is his job as a doctor to do those things for anyone, but as your partner it makes him feel good to know he can provide you with the best possible care and be sure you’re healthy and happy.
“Of course you had to go get hurt again,” Harvey huffed, carefully placing a large bandaid over the cleaned wound. He leaned down, pressing a gentle kiss to it. “What would you do without me?” He joked, flashing a sweet smile.
Receiving: words of affirmation
Harvey had a bit of a hard time when it comes to self-esteem when your relationship started. All that his life mainly consisted of was school, studying, and work before he met you. Never in his life did he have much time or opportunity for anything else, so sometimes with his lack of experience when it came to relationships he was scared he wouldn’t live up to your expectations. In his mind he’s old and boring, unattractive compared to the other men in town, so he had a hard time understanding why you chose him if all people. Whenever you tell him how much you love him and why, he really, really appreciates it. It helps build up that self-esteem and his confidence, and allows him to return his love for you full force as his doubts fade from his mind.
Giving: physical affection/quality time
Sam is a man with lots of golden retriever energy who just loves touch. He’s very comfortable with PDA and showing you off as his partner, always having your hand in his or an arm around your waist. He is obsessed with cuddling and will initiate it any chance he gets, spooning you and holding you to his chest or sometimes the other way around. As long as he’s close to and touching you, he doesn’t mind. He especially loves it when you run your hand through his hair. He loves to have movie nights together and for you to accompany him on hangouts with Sebastian and Abigail. If you play any instruments, he loves to have jam sessions with you too, or will teach you guitar if you’d like. On top of that, he wants to teach you how to skateboard if you want as well. He would do anything to be close to you or hold you.
Receiving: receiving gifts
Sam finds it really sweet whenever you give him a gift, especially if it’s one of his favourites. A fresh baked pizza you made or picked up from the saloon, a cactus fruit you nabbed during your visit to the desert, a Tiger’s eye from a geode you had broken, even just a can of Joja cola will make him one of the happiest people on earth. It makes his heart swell to know that you were thinking of him, and eyes never fail to light right up whenever you give it to him. If it’s a shareable item, he will offer you some without a doubt and give you lots of hugs and kithy kithy’s as a thanks.
“You got this just for me?” Sam’s bright blue eyes lit right up with joy. “Thanks, babe! Here, why don’t you have a couple slices? I can’t eat this all by myself!” A definite lie, but it was sweet.
Sebastian recognizes that sometimes he isn’t the most vocal person in the world. He struggles sometimes to express how he feels about you and how much he loves you through words. So, instead, he shows his love through actions. Although it may seem like he’s not paying attention, he is always listening to what you say. With all the info he soaks in, he gives you stuff to show although you may have thought otherwise, he’d been paying attention to all your little rants. You complained once about having holes in your socks? He buys you new heavy duty ones. You’re visibly groggy or tired? He makes you both a cup of coffee. Your body is sore and aching? You’ll be coming home to a warm bubble bath, and maybe he’ll join you to release some tension as well.
Kicking the door shut, you stretched with a hefty sigh of relief. “Long day?” Sebastian’s voice rang out, the man leaning against the bedroom door frame with an amused smirk. “Come on, I ran us a nice bath. Hurry up before it gets cold,”
Sebastian is more of a reserved and quiet guy. He’s a bit introverted, not the kind of person who’s into social events and gatherings, or many other people in general. You are a different story, though. Instead of feeling drained after spending time with you, he feels more energized and relaxed. He feels replenished, at peace, and content, so whenever he can, he basks in the warmth of your presence, soaking in all of the positive feelings. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing. He can be on his computer working with you on the other side of the room reading a book. You can be cuddled up on the couch watching a movie. Maybe out on the porch, eating away at some snacks and looking at the farm. As long as it’s with you, it doesn’t matter. Nothing matters but you.
Giving: physical affection
Shane isn’t always the best at words, especially when it comes to expressing his love to you. He’s quite the touchy guy too, although not so much in public. Around the house though he loves to do things like cuddling on the couch while watching the Tunnler’s game, hugging you from behind whenever he gets the chance, peppering gentle, sleepy little kisses along your neck in bed when he wakes up, that sort of thing. He finds comfort in holding you or touching you in some sort of way, and he really likes it when you lean into him whenever he shows you his love.
Receiving: words of affirmation/physical affection
Shane lacks self-confidence and self esteem, not so positive thoughts often nagging at his brain in the beginning of your relationship. They’re only with me because they pity me, I’m not good enough, I don’t deserve their love and so on. It isn’t until you catch him in a mood like this and you take the time to explain each and everything you love about him that his doubts actually seem to begin to fade. He was awestruck at first that anyone, especially you, could feel that way for a bum like him. It only makes his love for you stronger though, and allows him to feel and accept your love as well.
“I never knew I could feel so happy before you came along,” Shane’s arms wrapped around you squeezing you tight. “I’m so thankful that you stayed,”
