✦’’~ Habit Headcannons: Gift Giving with a twist [Any!Reader x Habit]
"You like it right? Please, say that you do."
Yes, you read that right.. gift giving. (How sickenly normal..of me!!) ((Jk. Not so much...))
Content warning!: besides some mention of murder and such this, I'd just pg as ! Viewer discretion advised either way!!

Whoever Habit's with, he will absolutely, no questions ask, steal things for them. Luckily for you, it's you.
But even so, it's not always expensive stuff either. Sometimes it’s genuinely random. Maybe it's something like a necklace you mentioned liking in a store once, and three days later it’s sitting on your desk with dried blood on the clasp because he absolutely did not pay for it.
Because of course it is.
“Where’d you get this?”
“Some guy had it.”
“…Habit.”
“He doesn’t need it anymore.”
But the thing is, he doesn’t really understand why normal people would consider this wrong, especially when it’s for someone important. In his mind, if he can take something and make you happy with it, then why wouldn’t he?
He remembers everything you casually mention liking. Once. Just once. You could offhandedly say you miss a childhood candy, and suddenly he’s tossing six packs of it onto your bed weeks later like:
“Found it.”
Expensive gifts especially feel dangerous with him because you know there’s no way he acquired them legally. Designer jewelry? Rare collectibles? A jacket you stared at too long in a store window? Yeah. He’s getting it...somehow.
He’ll more than likely get offended if you refused a gift because of how he got it. Not angry necessarily—more confused.
“I got it for you. Just take it.” sorta thing
Like that alone should outweigh every ethical concern in how he obtained said item.
Physical affection during gift giving is rare (oddly enough), but there’s this intense stare while you open things. He wants to see your reaction. He watches for every tiny expression change because your happiness genuinely matters to him in his own deeply messed up way.
He’s also very “this reminded me of you” coded except the things reminding him of you are concerning.
Dead moths.
Rusted lockets.
Knives with pretty handles.
Bones shaped like hearts.
If you treasure something he gave you? He notices immediately. And it means everything to him (though he refuses to show it. If he wasn't for him using a human body, his tail would've given it away).
Now, if he hears about someone hurting you? Oh, the gifts afterwards feel 10x heavier.
Because suddenly, he's stalking them down, morning ever damn part of their schedule until he knows how to make their death an accident. Obsessive? Perhaps. But he loves you in his..sick and twisted way. And all he wants to hear is them begging and pleading for forgiveness.
"Ple-please w-wait! I- I'm sorry-!"
"Yeah, keep talking. Don't you fucking look away from the camera."
"Say it loud and clear. Ya?"
"I want to really feel how sorry you are,"
And of course, once he's done, he'll come home, covered in blood (as always), happier than a clam, smirking ear to ear. Just to show you, and see your face change.
Watching your eyes widened—caught utterly and completely off guard and he's just thinking..
