Mattheo Riddle
✬༄ I think it’s obvious it’s all messy and confusion for him for awhile. His home life has never been good and gotten worse since getting older, so comfort isn’t his thing.
✬༄ at least, that’s what he thought. Until you came along.
✬༄ in public, you probably won’t get much from him unless he’s feeling possessive, than a hand on your hip to pull your closer or purposefully resting his hand on your butt cheek to linger.
✬༄ but in private, he’s more vulnerable and comfortable, more relaxed with you. He’ll practically melt into you the second you wrap your arms around him. Oh he’s a smitten man.
✬༄ he had to get used to it of course. The beginning of the relationship you had to help him ease slowly into physical affection. And simply just that. Not expectations or need to do something in return;something he wasn’t used to yet.
✬༄ you had to explain to him patiently many times that you don’t always want sex when you touch him or do something nice for him.
✬༄ eventually he eases into the idea and gets more comfortable. Now, he’s not good with verbal comfort, as said before he didn’t grow up with it so he’s awkward with words. But he will do acts of service or physical touch with you to show you he loves you.
✬༄ he’s so gentle too. But only you though. He’s rough with anyone else. He’s passionate about you and will fight for you any way he has to.
Theodore nott
✬༄ he just needs a woman he feels safe with. And you do exactly that, making you remind him of his gorgeous mother he lost so long ago yet the grief still lingers solid.
✬༄ he probably taught you Italian if you don’t already know it, wanting you to be able to communicate with him in the language his mother taught him and loves. It means so much to him.
✬༄ Theo needs that reassurance so please touch him. Hand to his hair, hugging him, a kiss or 10, giving belly rubs or leaning against him. Anything. Your touch calms him down
✬༄ now, he’s so touch starved yet he hates being touched. It’s one of those things where he only wants to be touched by the one he loves and that one is you, babe.
✬༄ oh my goddd he loves it when you lay on him to sleep. Rather it’s just your head on his chest snugged into his side or your body on top of his with your face in his neck. He doesn’t care he just needs it to feel grounded.
✬༄ your scent is comforting to him too, not just your touch or presence. Everything about you screams ‘safe’ in his mind.
✬༄ he doesn’t mind showing casual affection in public either you as long as you’re comfortable with it. Hand holding, gentle yet warm hand in the small of your back, hand on waist or shoulder or a kiss occasionally. He just needs you like nicotine.
✬༄ he’s rough around the edges but his love and devotion towards you is one thing that’s never a question to him.
Draco Malfoy
✬༄ ugh, malfoy
✬༄ mama’s boy, obviously. But it’s more of a slow burn for him.
✬༄ it takes a long while but let’s say you’re already in a relationship by this time. He will be more comfortable being affectionate with you or showing he cares;just in small ways
✬༄ in public, right before dating and even beginning of dating; hand holding with occasional gentle squeezes, soft glances though quick, a quick peck to the forehead before you go into your classroom (he often walks you to class). Little things like that. Subtle but there.
✬༄ when he’s more comfortable being affectionate let alone dating you, he becomes more vulnerable. I also believes he hates touch unless it’s his lifetime lover;you.
✬༄ now at first, like I said earlier, he’d be hesitant for showing you affection in public or even much interest in you simply because of his reputation as a malfoy and a snake. But that can’t stop him forever, and it sure didn’t for long.
✬༄ now he’s putty in your hands as you gently wipe his lip with a napkin to get the sauce there he missed, or how he sighs deeply in contentment every time you put your fingers in his hair at night after a long day as he hugs your waist and rest his head on your chest or stomach.
✬༄ he’s a hopeless, lovesick goner. But he can’t help but want more only from you. And damn right he’ll keep eating up your attention and affection as long as you keep feeding it to him. He might have to sometimes swallow his pride and beg for it though.
Lorenzo Berkshire
✬༄ tricky, but he’s a hardcore player dawg. That’s how I see him.
✬༄ but let’s say he magically became loyal once he started perusing you and eventually you both start dating.
✬༄ he’s completely gone for you despite his act of denying it, and you’re stupidly in love with the idiot, somehow,
✬༄ I really don’t see Enzo having an issue at all with affection. I don’t think his home life is as bad as the others but surely not the best. But despite him sleeping around so much, there’s never no connection, just satisfaction.
✬༄ so with you, he genuinely enjoys the bond between you two and how connected he feels with you before sexual encounters even come into play. He didn’t think it was possible but here he was.
✬༄ he’s a womanizer, but you unknowingly changed him for the better. Especially if you’re more bubbly you’re definitely a great influence on him and he kinda likes it. Oddly. It’s different and a little scary at first but he trusts you so much.
✬༄ he loves your touch and he loves touching you so it’s a win win. He doesn’t care if someone casually touches him, but he definitely refers yours.
✬༄ so overly smitten for you even he doesn’t know how or when it happened. But he can’t complain when you’re beautiful, his future wife, AND taught him there’s so much to life than sleeping around all the time. He craves your attention and loves and is so overly greedy for it it’s sickening. Almost.
