The Bowers Gang: How the Guys Would React to Making Their Girlfriend Cry (Anonymous Request)
* Any and all credit for this idea goes to the requestor.
I honestly have no idea how this happened
Like... I’m legitimately bamboozled.
Huggins doesn’t yell at, tease, or even throw dirty looks his partner’s way no matter how pissed off he gets, so if he managed to make his s/o cry, I can only assume it was a complete and utter accident
Initially has no idea what he did, and goes into a level 10 panic, because girl emotions are terrifying
Goes full-on “deer in headlights” face, and starts apologizing for everything he’s said and done that day, trying to pinpoint what he did wrong
... Maybe he ate the last slice of pizza and you really wanted it or something.
... What? I don’t know your life (you sensitive sack). That’s just the most believable scenario I can come up with, because Huggins is too nice to have done anything more extreme
No matter what he’s done to cause this though, no matter how big or how small...
... the guilt hits him like a fucking TRUCK.
Like, seriously. Even if you are crying just because he ate the last piece of pizza. He wants to cry now too, and regurgitate it for you.
Overall, cares with all his fucking soul that he’s done something to make his partner sad, apologizes for it 100 times over, and will walk on eggshells around his partner for the next 10-12 hours, at least.
Okay, now this scenario is a little more realistic.
Henry yells at his s/o’s often, usually taking out all his frustrations from the day on them; he could easily push them too far simply by yelling way too hard, for way too long
... Not to mention the cruel and abusive things that would be coming out of his mouth the entire time (i.e. has no qualms telling his s/o how stupid they are, how little he cares for them, how nobody can tolerate them except for him, etc.)
Surprisingly though, he does tend to lose steam once he notices he’s brought his partner to tears
Just slowly quiets down until he stops talking altogether, just staring at his s/o with dead eyes while they sob
Bowers is really uncomfortable with any type of vulnerability, so he wouldn’t really know what his next move should be. He has enough heart not to want to make his partner feel worse, but he wouldn’t make any moves to make them feel better either
No hugging, no apologizing, nothing. Just observes for a while, registering the breakdown he’s caused, before completely avoiding the situation by walking out of the room
It’s some cold shit, not gonna lie - basically leaves his partner to get themselves together without him, then comes back and pretends nothing ever happened
To be honest though, Henry does feel the urge to comfort his s/o when he makes them cry; it’s not like he thinks they’re being a pathetic little crybaby or anything (*cough* Hockstetter *cough*)
Just doesn’t know how to go about comforting his partner, or taking back the things he said, so finds it easier to walk away until the uncomfortable emotions have stopped
So Patrick’s reaction to making an s/o cry can be summed up in one simple statement:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU PATHETIC LITTLE CRYBABY
Bro literally never gets angry enough about anything to yell, so if he’s made a partner cry, it’s probably because he was making fun of them about something to begin with
And everyone knows making fun of someone only becomes more fun when you know you’ve really gotten to them
Legit just laughs his bony ass off, tussels his partner’s hair, and ends with a snide comment (”Awww, poor baby... PMSing today, are we?”)
Don’t come at me, the guy’s a dick, and if you expected sensitivity you’re a clod.
... if Victor Criss makes you cry, you probably deserve it.
Like, honestly. The dude is smart enough not to make careless mistakes like Belch, kind enough not to go on a tirade at his partner like Henry, and sensitive enough never to pick on his partner’s shortcomings like Patrick.
So if Criss brings you to tears, it’s probably for a legitimate reason.
Mostly, I see Victor making his partner cry simply by being too cold to them during an argument - he doesn’t get loud when he has fights with an s/o, but can be so blunt and unfeeling in the things he says (provided he’s angry enough) that it seems almost as if he doesn’t love them anymore.
10/10 reaction to tears, though
No matter how upset he is, all arguing stops once Criss sees crying start to happen
He’ll literally just halt in the middle of a sentence, walk over to his partner, and wrap them in his arms until they get themselves together
Victor has no interest in bringing his partner to their breaking point, and, even if he feels that he’s right, and there’s more talking to be done, he’ll stop just long enough to let tensions fall back down to a level where they can have a productive conversation
In his mind, no one benefits from getting overly emotional in a fight; the only way to solve a problem is to stay level-headed and work as a team to fix the issue
So, overall, Criss has the best reaction to a crying s/o - just accept their feelings and comfort them until they’re able to talk calmly again. Only way to live life, my dudes.
