bf!arch who constantly changes his lockscreen to you. continuously taking pictures of you without you noticing, the ones caught off guard, the blurry ones where you can barely see your face, the infamous .5 angle where you have a facemask. his favorites are the ones you post on your instagram feed where he’s not afraid to comment how gorgeous you look.
bf!arch who pulls the “need to ask my girlfriend” when he’s invited to go out. it’s sometimes intentional to avoid going out, yet at the same time, if he does it, it’s to be sure you’re okay and comfortable with the idea before setting foot anywhere. getting teased by his teammates, his cheeks burning red as they whistle him.
bf!arch not afraid to show pda whatsoever. you could be out together just taking a walk, and he will follow the sidewalk rule, hands interlocked, or his arm wrapped around your shoulders. after his football games, he proudly walks with you as he thanks fans, his hand on the back of your jean pocket. at any banquet, his hand is tracing shapes along your thigh, sneaking in small kisses on your lips and forehead, a whispered conversation shared where the two of you try to hide your laughs to not get caught.
bf!arch who keeps polaroids of you, or of the two of you together. there are various ones taped on his locker. in his room, there’s an entire bulletin board filled with different pictures from different memories. on his truck dashboard, the total miles ran are hidden by a polaroid from his debut game, where you share a kiss, taking its place. a photo taken on his birthday on his license pocket, arch smiling every time he takes out a card or cash.
bf!arch who does not play around when it comes to you. is so quick to defend you to whoever dares speak of you in a mean or disrespectful manner, no matter who it is. making himself known nonchalantly when a man approaches you, not causing a scene, just showing he is there. he’s always talking highly, praising you whenever getting the opportunity. will drop whatever he’s in the middle of and go to you if you ask for him.
bf!arch who texts you about small reminders. to drink water if you haven't done so, to take your vitamins, and to make sure you’re getting a proper meal to fuel you. if you need to attend any important meeting, a doctor’s appointment, advisor meeting, he’s got it written down and is texting you about it.
bf!arch making you random gift baskets. they start during your early stages of dating, a box filled with your favorite snacks and movies. he knows you get super weak when a sudden sickness hits you, quick to make a box with a cozy blanket, tea packets, candy, and sometimes medicine. when it’s that time of the month, he will show up with flowers and your recent craving to fill that need. in each basket, he handwrites a small note, which gradually grew as months of dating passed
bf!arch who immediately reaches out to you after a bad day. quick to dial your phone number after having it memorized, his nerves easing at just the mere sound of your voice asking him what was wrong. making up any excuse to see you cause at the end of the day, that’s the only thing that would help him. and when he does, he’s so afraid to let go, knowing all he wants and needs is to be held by you.
bf!arch who has the need to ask anytime he gets if you love him. you could be falling into a deep sleep, and he’s quick to ask if you love him. you could be doing homework, and his arms would wrap around you, giving you puppy eyes and asking you, content once you tell him yes. he knows he does it to be annoying, yet every time you say the three words, it reminds him that you’re real and that you do indeed love him.
bf!arch who falls asleep on you. literally anywhere. in your arms, your back, between your legs. he’s in a deep sleep. on a car ride, his head is laid against your shoulder, snores falling from his lips. there was a time during a cookout when you sat on his lap, and after a few minutes, you felt his temple rest along your jaw, fast asleep. during a cuddle session, your hands stroke his skin and hair, arch not resisting the urge to close his eyes and letting sleep overtake him.
bf!arch is the first to apologize after a fight or argument. he hates the idea of silent treatment, knowing communication would fix it. his heart feels like it's going to stop beating once you walk away frustrated, sad, or angry, knowing he was very partly to blame. wants to make it up to you in the spot, no matter who was in the wrong, he just cannot endure the feeling of you being upset and overwhelmed with him.
bf!arch who suddenly convinces you to stay up an hour longer before bed just so the two of you can yap. it’s about anything and everything. how your day was. why your boss was being a pain in the ass. about the new music that had dropped recently. about arch’s encounter with a frat from a different university. remembering the few months of the relationship when both of you were too shy to even glance at each other's ways. discussing your future together, settling on traveling for as long as you could, deciding on your kids' names, what color the walls would be painted, or if you would have any pets.
