herbert west relationship headcanons
there’s just such severe brain rot when it comes to this man i like him so much
This man drinks black coffee like nothing in his coffee just straight black coffee
And unless you also drink black coffee, you’re just in the kitchen like wtf sir how are your tastebuds the way they are
Herbert has passed out in the basement lab before and I’m convinced he has some sort of little makeshift bed or something down there
Okay so as we know Herbert is in his lab for literally H O U R S and his s/o and/or Dan have to drag him back upstairs, on god, everyday
You just gotta thank Dan for helping Herbert back upstairs on a regular basis cause Herbert goes literal dead weight when asleep
Dan doesn’t mind though as to the fact he’s fond of you and thinks you’re good for Herbert
Not everyone would make an effort to lug Herbert up from his lab to an actual bed on a everyday basis
Herbert doesn’t get jealous all that much
At least he doesn’t think he does
He is way too cocky to not be jealous a little bit
The times he sees you and Dan laugh with each other for a bit too long or gaze lingers for more than it should something in that tiny man's head goes WEEWOO WEEWOO go get your partner
This is especially prevalent if you’re in a conversation with someone
He acts even more boastful than he already is and maybe a little bit touchy like an arm around your waist with a squeeze every now and then
This man is touch starved will he admit it? No of course not, his brain won’t let him but if you even give him the slightest bit of affection he’s gonna yearn
If your arms graze eachother he’s just like wow,,,welp that's my touch quota for the day no one speak to me now
He is the type of man to like not go to bed until 5am but would tell his s/o to go to bed at 9pm
You try to stay up for him because y’know you want your dumb scientist boyfriend in bed with you but you cant make it past 3 am
Herbert asks when you went to bed cause you walking around upstairs annoyed him and you were like 2 am and he’s just like HEY that's what i do stop that
He WILL trick his s/o into helping him with his experiments he has no shame
He’s like oh can you help me with carrying something and next thing you know you’re fighting off some random limbed reanimated creature with a broom and sheer willpower
This man has waddled his ass upstairs like “🧍🏻♀️can you get the spare bat the one in the lab broke” and you’re just like “sir please how did the bat break and why do i feel like i'm in danger ”
Herbert is entirely like literally just get the bat or shits about to go down
Call this man any type of pet names and he physically recoils
Herbert isn’t the most affectionate person (really he's the most difficult person to deal with relationship wise)
He's also aforementioned very touch starved how does this man function
You can call this man Herby and hes just like gagging mentally
That doesn’t mean he wont accept a subtle in passing “hun” thrown at him
Or on your end, he might call you a shortened version of your name or like “honey”
Don't point it out though unless you want to only be called your name for the next few months
I think Herbert would enjoy just your presence around him
Like if your just sitting in his lab reading a book while he’s working
Or if you both are watching tv on the couch
He likes the little things y’know even if that means you two aren’t interacting just enjoying each other’s company
He isn’t the best with physical affection like hugs, kisses, etc.
Wow so romantic when your knees touch while sitting on the couch and he doesn’t pull away
He doesn’t mind occasional hand holding or rather pinkie holding when you both are in his lab late at night
He's at his most touchy affectionate when its late late at night and he's so severely tired
He's too tired to be sharp and cold and he would really much rather be in bed with you asleep
Attached to your side when he finally gets to bed or if you’re still awake you hear him coming up the stairs and you meet him halfway
You lead him to bed hand in hand and its unspoken moments like these that really make you realize that despite his sharp, clever exterior he does care and love you
Just a clever science man wowie :)
