Boothill says something during the Banana Outrage quest. "Oh, it ain't like that. These little sweet drinks taste pretty good. Ordering a bunch is just a habit of mine." So imagine pre-canon Boothill, or even regular Boothill, frequenting a bar you work at just to see you.
You're the bartender he's smitten with. Smug little smiles, dorky winks, silly expressions brought on by bashfulness. Between the tumbling words and bright red ears it's obvious he likes you. He's pretty bad at hiding it.
The cowboy doesn't stick to a schedule, instead stopping by whenever time allows him. The first time he does so his hair is greasy from the wind and there's dirt on his clothes from a battle-well-fought. He's a little rowdy... well, a little a lot, loud and mirthful, and he orders a big drink in celebration. When you match his grin with a "comin' right up!" he finds that he can't keep his eyes away. He wants to hear you talk again. He wants to know your name. He wants to see whether the sparkle in your eyes was just the amber light of the tavern or a life he wants to witness.
And of course Boothill keeps coming back. He's there, sitting at the bar, looking you up and down like he's got something to say. He's surprisingly tongue-tied. Small drinks bring you back to him. Small drinks mean you look his way. He'll order; you'll talk to him; he'll get distracted; he'll order again. Before he can even finish the drink he's chasing your company like a lost dog does its friend.
After sex, Boothill likes lazing around in bed with you tucked against his side, his fingers playing with your hair or you playing with his. He also wants to share how much he enjoyed the session, so he often praises you for something you did. For example, he might comment how hot the sounds you made were, how he enjoyed the little show you gave him, or how seductive you looked. Although his ego is already inflated from having gotten you off, Boothill likes it when you praise him in return. Tell him how much you enjoyed yourself or how you liked a particular thing he did, and Boothill will be grinning from ear to ear for the rest of the day, feeling like a million bucks.
He’s also chattier and more honest after the intimate experience, so he tends to share more things with you, like sentimental memories from his past or his hopes for the future. This is usually the time when he dares to dream of building a happy life with you by his side, though he keeps those thoughts to himself. At least, until he finds and settles his score with Oswaldo Schneider. Maybe afterwards he’ll have a chance to settle down with you, if he’s still alive.
If you’re tired or sore, Boothill will tease you for tapping out so easily, but will do his best to take care of you. He brings you snacks and a drink to replenish your energy, and hoists you into his arms to carry you wherever you need while acting all smug for having rendered your legs useless.
B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)
On himself, Boothill likes his shark-like teeth. He thinks they look cool, and he gets a sense of satisfaction when his opponents look intimidated by his toothy grin. He also finds they’re great for marking your skin in bites and hickeys, though he’s careful not to bite down too hard... most of the time. Forgive him if he draws some blood, Boothill just gets too excited and loses grip on his self-control.
On you, Boothill is extremely fond of your thighs and butt. Doesn’t matter if you’re stacked or flat back there—if it’s your ass, then it’s automatically the best. His hands gravitate towards your lower half to caress your thighs or grab handfuls of your ass. He may not have the same level of sensation he once had in an organic body, but kneading these soft parts of you is fun for him (for this reason, your breasts get played with a lot too).
He also likes the view of your rear end whenever you wear clothing that hugs your figure or is short enough to tantalize him whenever you bend over. Whether you intend to rile him up or not, if you tease him enough with that gorgeous view of your ass, Boothill will bend you over the nearest surface and show you just what you do to him.
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)
Unfortunately, because he no longer has testicles, Boothill produces no semen. He can modify his body to secrete a synthetic substance similar to semen in texture, although it’s not quite the same thing. On the plus side, you don’t have to worry about accidental pregnancies. The artificial semen also comes in many different flavors, so you can have your pick of any flavor you like to make swallowing it more enticing. Boothill loves it when you lick up his cum, so he’s willing to get your favorite flavor or buy whacky ones if you’re curious to see how they taste.
Boothill loves covering your skin in his seed, so if you’re alright with it, he will release his spend on your face, breasts, ass, and belly. He also loves being covered in your slick. Cover his face or drench his cock in your juices—Boothill doesn’t mind getting messy. Soak his face, baby. Drench him in your juices. He loves it.
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
While not dirty per se, Boothill sometimes wonders how different things would feel if he still had his organic body. As a cyborg, sex with him is quite different from usual. Would you have liked it better if you could feel warm skin instead of cold metal? If your attempts at pleasuring him actually brought him pleasure instead of muted sensation? Do you want to have a family with him? On rare days, these questions plague his mind because Boothill dreams of having a happy life with you but knows it wouldn’t be possible in a traditional sense. Not with his body being a killing machine designed to exterminate Oswaldo Schneider.
However, he quickly pushes those pesky thoughts aside. If you got together with him and continue to stick around after everything, then he figures you must be fine with his cyborg features, so there was no use in sweating the details. Perhaps one day he’ll be able to broach the subject of your future together, but that is something he will only focus on after taking revenge against Oswaldo.
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)
Boothill had a few partners in the past, but the relationships didn’t last long since he’s constantly on the move. He knows the basics of sex and what to watch out for when being intimate, though he’s not very experienced in the kink department. He didn’t have much opportunity to really experiment with a partner he deeply trusted until you came along, but he’s very open to trying out new things. Boothill just needs to be taught how to do kinks safely since he can be too impatient to do his own research.
While he’s confident in his ability to please you, Boothill’s ego isn’t so big as to think he’s a sex god that knows what you like better than you do. He understands that people are different, and just because one of his past partners enjoyed something, that doesn’t mean you will like it too. As such, he pays attention to any guidance or instructions you give and readily complies. Boothill’s main goal is to make sex a fun and pleasurable time for both of you, so if you need to be touched in a specific place or in a certain way to feel good, then he will do exactly that. He also tries new things together to keep things exciting and to see if you can discover something new you didn’t know you’d enjoy.
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)
Save a horse, ride a cowboy. Boothill loves all variations of cowgirl. There’s nothing hotter than watching you take charge and derive pleasure from riding his cock. Seeing the way your body undulates above his, the way your soft flesh jiggles with each snap of your hips, hearing your moans… Boothill is in heaven. He sometimes can’t stay still and lifts his hips to fuck into you to get you to moan louder. He also loves to fondle your breasts or hips when you bounce on his lap because the jiggling of your flesh draws his attention and he can’t resist copping a feel.
Another position he loves is doggystyle (or bending you over any flat surface, really). It offers a different angle and depth of penetration, plus he gets a great view of your ass. Boothill likes to lightly tug on your hair and spank your butt whenever he does doggy (provided you’re into this too). This position also gives him easy access to mark your shoulders and back in bite marks, so you end up covered in them by the end.
He’s also fond of modified missionary where you lay on your side with one leg over his shoulder. He likes the leverage your leg offers, and as an added bonus, he can leave bites and kisses along your leg.
Wall sex is another thing Boothill enjoys because he finds the spontaneity of it enticing. He likes pressing you up against a wall and hooking one or both of your legs around his waist. Wrap your arms and legs tight around him—Boothill loves it when you cling to him. You usually find yourself in this position whenever Boothill is too impatient to make it to the bedroom and wants to have you here and now in the hallway.
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)
Boothill is unintentionally goofy in the bedroom due to his censored speech. He likes cussing during sex, but because all his expletives are censored with silly things like shirt, fork, and fudge, his dirty talk ends up sounding goofy and can even ruin the mood.
He may want to say “I’ll fuck this pussy real good, sweetheart” but it comes out as “I’ll fork this kitty real good, sweetheart”. He gets offended when you laugh at his censored speech since he’s not purposely trying to sound funny, but it motivates him to find workarounds so he can convey his dirty talk without being censored.
H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)
Boothill doesn’t have any pubic hair since his body is completely , but if he did, it would mostly be white in color with a small patch being black.
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)
Boothill isn’t the romantic sort and doesn’t like acting sappy during sex, but he still makes you feel loved. While his dirty talk is crass (and a bit funny), it oozes with his admiration for you. He offers praise by saying things like how stunning or hot you look, how you drive him crazy in a good way, or how he can’t get enough of you. This man is down bad for you. He also uses terms of possession to reflect your deep bond with each other, such as calling you his girl or himself as your guy.
Boothill also litters your skin in bite marks to further stake his claim on you. Sex can get primal, so he can’t help acting on his instincts and leaving a bite on your neck to mark you as his. His grip on you can also get a little possessive. Boothill grips your hips or thighs or loops an arm around your waist in a firm hold to tug you closer and keep you there, at the mercy of the pleasure he gives you.
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)
Because he doesn’t have a real penis, masturbation does almost nothing for Boothill. Sure, he can use his hand to stroke himself, but he feels only a tiny fraction of the pleasure since his penis lacks the complex nerve endings a real one has. Plus, wanking it alone is nowhere near as fun as having a partner to do it with. Boothill would much rather have sex with you to satisfy his carnal urges since on top of the greater pleasure, he also gets to see and hear you reacting to his touch which gets him going way more than his robotic hand or a sex toy ever could.
While he doesn’t jack off, he loves it when you do. Boothill gets riled up when you send him a video of you masturbating or make a show of it in the bedroom. It really gets him going to see you pleasure yourself (more on this in the Motivation section).
K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)
Boothill is really into dirty talk, both giving and receiving. Unfortunately, he can’t be as filthy with it as he wants due to his censored speech, but he finds workarounds that don’t get slammed by the censorship hammer yet still sound sexy. Boothill also gets turned on when you speak dirty, so whisper something salacious in his ear to have him wrapped around your finger.
He’s also into biting and marking. Most of your lovemaking sessions end with you sporting new bite marks and hickeys because Boothill can’t resist the urge to mark you as his. He feels a little smug when he sees how thoroughly he’s covered you in his teeth marks. What can he say? He’s a little protective and wants to make sure nobody tries to make moves on you while he’s away on ‘business’.
Boothill loves having you sit on his face while he eats you out. You don’t have to worry about suffocating him or breaking his neck since his body is really sturdy, or so he reassures you to convince you to give it a try. He simply adores being surrounded by your soft thighs while you ride his face and use him for your pleasure, to the point that he can get pussy drunk. If he had a real dick, it would get rock hard each time you sat on his face.
Boothill is also into a bit of roleplay, specifically cop and robber type scenarios involving a sexy interrogation that leads to sex. He likes the buildup of sexual tension and watching you steadily grow more aroused the further the roleplay progresses. He’s also willing to involve toys like handcuffs or riding crops/belts to enhance the scenario.
Speaking of, he’s also into light spanking. Ideally, he would spank you with his hand, but that would be too painful given that his hands are made of metal, so he settles for tools like his belt since it’s always on his person.
One other kink he has is seeing you in revealing clothing. Wear something flattering and sexy, like a tight skirt, low cut top, or a sexy police uniform ensemble and watch the way Boothill’s eyes light up in appreciation and desire as his gaze roams over you. He likes seeing you flaunt your goods for specially for him. Like a little private show which only he has permission to see. Actually, please do put on a show. Model how you look in that outfit or give him a strip tease. He will treasure that memory for the rest of his life as one of the best things to ever happen to him.
L = Location (favorite places to do the do)
Boothill isn’t picky about where you have sex. It can be in any room in the house, in a secluded alleyway, at a public restroom, in a car, or other locations that offer enough privacy for the deed. Give him a flat surface to press you up against or bend you over and he’s happy.
However, having sex with him in public places is risky since Boothill tends to get loud and doesn’t care who hears him.
M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)
Most seduction techniques work on Boothill as long as it’s you doing them. One surefire way to get him eager for you is wearing revealing clothing that shows off your figure. Boothill loves to see you flaunt your goods, but it must be for his eyes only, you hear? No gallivanting in skimpy clothes in front of others, or else he will put a bullet in the poor chaps who dare to look at you funny.
Sending him nudes or selfies of you in sexy clothing or videos of you masturbating also gets him going. If you send him any, best believe he has a folder on his phone filled with your lewd pictures and videos that he looks at every so often. Boothill finds you very sexy and never misses an opportunity to let you know he thinks you’re smoking hot whenever you show off for him.
Speaking of, if you touch yourself in front of him, all of Boothill’s attention will be on you. Seeing you pleasure yourself is extremely erotic and hot in his opinion. It’s an instant turn-on for him, and he can’t resist from offering his “help” and joining in on the action. He becomes desperate to get his hands on you and see how many ways he can make you cry out in pleasure.
Of course, simply just telling Boothill that you want him is a great tactic to make him want to bed you. Dirty talk, innuendos, or straightforward admissions will all work him up. Boothill just likes being the object of your desire, so as long as he knows you crave him, he’ll be happy to help satisfy your needs.
N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)
While Boothill is pretty open to trying new things, he does have a line he doesn’t want to cross. Things involving bodily fluids that are not cum gross him out and will get a hard ‘no’ from him.
He also hates being humiliated or degraded and will instantly get turned off if you say anything to demean him. A little bit of teasing is fine if it’s in good humor but saying things that make it sound like you’re looking down on or mocking him gets his blood boiling.
Boothill is also not fond of being restrained, though he can tolerate it to humor you. He prefers being an active participant in sex and doing things to make both of you feel good, so being stuck in once place tests his patience. Just don’t keep him tied up for too long or he’ll get annoyed at having his movements restricted and will break free. If he can’t, he’ll cuss up a storm and will be genuinely upset with you if you don’t set him free when he asks you to let him go.
Boothill also won’t do anything non-consensual, even non-con roleplay. He likes it when you enjoy yourself and enthusiastically express said enjoyment. Hearing you resist or tell him no instantly makes him want to stop and check on you, plus it makes him feel like the lowest scum in the universe for forcing himself upon someone. Boothill may be a wanted criminal but he has standards, and one of them is being respectful of his lovers.
If someone brave enough emerges with the suggestion that Boothill share you with them, the cowboy will use them as target practice. His bullets will just narrowly miss the bastard until they’re scampering away for their life. Don’t look at him like that, Boothill won’t kill them. He’s just scaring them away so they won’t think of approaching you again. You’re his and he refuses to share you with anyone, much less in the bedroom. Anyone who tries will eat bullets.
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)
Although his cock is artificial and doesn’t have much sensation, Boothill loves the sight of you going down on him. What can he say? It’s just hot watching you kneel at his feet and swallow him down. Even though he doesn’t get much out of a blowjob, he still appreciates the dedication you put into pleasing him. He finds is especially hot when he unloads over your face, chest, or in your mouth and you swallow his cum. It makes him want to press you against the nearest flat surface and pound you silly.
Boothill also loves giving and is enthusiastic about eating you out. His mouth latches onto your pussy, licking and sucking at your folds, tongue flicking over your clit and diving deep inside your cunt until you see stars. He wants to render you breathless and dizzy from pleasure, so don’t be surprised when he doesn’t come up for air until he’s brought you to orgasm at least twice with his mouth. Also, please soak his face in your juices. It’s a huge turn-on for him.
While eating you out, Boothill uses his sharp teeth to leave bite marks all over your inner thighs and hips. If you give him permission to dive between your legs, expect them to be covered in hickeys and bites. He also gently grazes your clit and folds with his teeth to tease you but does it gently enough not to scratch your sensitive areas. He knows his teeth are sharp, and the last thing he wants is to hurt you.
P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)
Boothill enjoys a fast and rough pace because he likes watching your face melt in bliss as he fucks into you. Feeling you writhe under him and hearing you scream and moan from overwhelming pleasure is a huge ego boost. He loves fucking you silly until your mind blanks out and you’re left a babbling mess.
However, he can also go for a slower and gentler pace if that is your wish. Boothill believes that changing things up in the bedroom is important for preventing the lovemaking from getting stale. He sometimes even switches paces in the middle of sex just to tease you. One moment he’ll be leisurely rolling his hips into you and then suddenly speed up his thrusts and pound into your harder, before slowing down again.
Because his body is robotic, he doesn’t tire as easily and can keep a steady pace like a machine. This serves him well when you want him to maintain the same pace. You want him to keep going just like this? You got it, sweetheart! Boothill will maintain that steady pace, not slowing or going faster until he sends you over the edge into blissful orgasm.
Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)
Being able to jump straight into the good stuff is right up Boothill’s alley, so he is fond of quickies. While he enjoys drawn-out foreplay and sex, sometimes he doesn’t have the patience for it, which is where quickies come in. Don’t assume he skimps out on the foreplay, though. He may be impatient, but he does know the importance of prepping his partner’s body before penetration. Boothill teases your erogenous zones until you’re worked up and desperate for his cock, and will only then give you what you want.
R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)
Boothill is open to experimenting with new things in the bedroom and trying riskier things like sex in public places, choking, whipping, etc… He’s pretty open-minded. Even if it’s something he’s not into, he’s willing to give it a shot as long if you really want to try it with him.
However, you will have to educate him on how to perform riskier kinks safely. While Boothill understands that some of the kinks can be dangerous and he exercises caution to not hurt you, he doesn’t know all the details of what could go wrong if proper precautions aren’t taken because he doesn’t research them. He may grumble if you tell him to study up on the subjects, but he ultimately will because Boothill wants you to enjoy sex as much as he does, so the last thing he wants is to seriously injure you. It will probably be faster to read up on the kinks yourself and then relay the information to him, though. He doesn’t like spending hours reading.
He could also be convinced to install modifications in his body purely for sex, such as vibrators in his fingers, a longer tongue, or a synthetic penis, but only minor ones. He’s wary of tinkering with his body too much if it’s not going to help him hunt down IPC scum. After all, he got this cyborg body to better fight his enemies, not to become a walking sex toy.
S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)
Boothill’s stamina is near infinite since his body is robotic. Being a cyborg means he doesn’t tire easily from physical exertion and thus can last all night and then some. He doesn’t get as much physical pleasure from sex due to reduced sensitivity, so for him, intercourse is more about having fun making you feel good. However, doing the same thing for hours can get a bit daunting for him, especially if you have sex frequently, so Boothill’s interest in it will dwindle over time. For this reason, 3 rounds is typically enough for him. If you’re in a friskier mood or if he’s more riled up than usual, he can easily go for more rounds (or fewer of you’re less interested). In general, though, Boothill can fuck you for as long as you want until you tell him to stop or he judges that it’s time for you to rest.
T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)
With the right enhancements, Boothill might as well be a walking sex toy with how he can make his dick vibrate just like a dildo. Speaking of dildos, if there’s a particular one you like or want to try, he can install it onto his body and fuck you with it.
If you’d rather have some alone time with your sex toys, he’ll grumble but let you have your fun. However, Boothill will later give you mind-blowing sex to prove that masturbating alone with some toys pales in comparison to how good he can make you feel. If you ever feel needy, you’d better come to him, got it?
If you do incorporate toys into your lovemaking, most of them will have to be used on you since Boothill doesn’t have the same level of sensitivity as a normal human. His metallic body limits his enjoyment of sex toys, though he’s not exactly eager to have any used on him to begin with. If you play your cards right, you can use things like handcuffs, blindfolds, and ball gags on him, though prepare for him to take revenge on you for restricting his movement by giving it back to you tenfold.
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)
Boothill is fond of verbal teasing and never passes on an opportunity to make you beg for him to fuck you or remark how desperate you look for his cock, but he’s not mean about it (unless you want him to be, in which case he’ll happily oblige). He also likes edging you just enough to make you beg but isn’t into orgasm denial. He doesn’t have the patience to drag it out, so he usually caves in pretty quickly once he gets what he wants out of you. Consider it his way of rewarding you for being such a good girl for him.
V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)
Boothill doesn’t hold back his voice, so he tends to be loud when you’re having sex. While he does grunt and pant during the act, most of the sounds he makes is just him talking or laughing. He seldom moans since his body isn’t sensitive enough to truly feel pleasure.
He’s fond of dirty talk, so Boothill often says a lot of filthy things to turn you on even more. His voice dips and turns low and husky while he rasps all kinds of raunchy things into your ear, although it still retains the tinny quality of his synthetic vocal cords. He also growls when you rile him up and make him desperate to put his hands on you.
As mentioned before, Boothill’s dirty talk can sometimes sound funny due to the censorship settings in his Synesthesia Beacon. He wants to be crass and say things like “You want me to pound this tight fucking cunt? Yeah? Beg for it, baby. Tell me how badly you want to get wrecked on my dick” but the censorship changes the swear words to safer things which can sometimes sound silly. As such, he looks for workarounds that can still convey his lewd intentions and sound sexy at the same time. While Boothill can cuss like a sailor towards his enemies, with you, he softens his speech a bit.
Some things he might say during/before sex:
“You ride me like ya were born to do it, sweetheart. Heh, look at how you’re drooling. Feels good, yeah? C’mere, lemme give ya a kiss.”
“You look so dang good in those tight pants, darlin’, but you’ve been teasin’ me with that tantalizing view from behind all evenin’. You’re a dirty little thing, ain’t ya? Now bend over, I’m going to make you forking pay for it, ya dirty girl.”
“Don’t worry, baby. I’ll use my fudging mouth until you go hoarse and forget how to speak.”
W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)
Boothill restrains himself whenever you get intimate. His body was designed for fighting instead of loving another person, and he knows that he could accidentally hurt you if he’s not careful. For instance, his body is made up of metal and complex machinery which makes it very heavy, so Boothill has to be mindful of how he distributes his weight when he’s on top to avoid crushing you.
He also has to be careful when touching you since his fingers are composed of multiple joints which can pinch your skin. He has to be especially mindful when fingering you for this reason. The same applies to his teeth. If he doesn’t temper the strength of his bites and grazes, he can accidentally draw blood because of how sharp they are.
Despite the drawbacks, Boothill doesn’t let his physique stop you both from having a good time. He’ll make as many concessions as necessary to have you smiling and looking at him with starry eyes after a good round of sex. Seeing that happy, awed look on your face is worth every painstaking compromise.
X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)
Since Boothill is smooth down there, he can wear a strap-on or get an upgrade to attach synthetic phalluses to his body. He can make his penis be whatever you want it to be. Big, small, thick, slim, ribbed, shaped like a tentacle… the list goes on. Tell him what you like, or even better, try out different models with him and choose your favorites.
Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)
Because his body is inorganic, Boothill technically doesn’t feel the need for sex. Even so, he finds sex fun, so he tries to initiate almost daily. He’s down to fuck whenever. It can be as often as multiple times per day or as few as once a week. Personally, around 5 times a week is the sweet spot for him, but Boothill isn’t picky. As long as he gets some on a consistent basis, he’s happy.
Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
As mentioned previously, Boothill doesn’t tire easily so he doesn’t feel the pull of sleep the way you do after sex. In most cases, you end up worn out and in need of rest long before he does, so he usually lets you sleep and heads out to get himself a drink or take care of business.
If you’re not too exhausted and want him to stay, then Boothill will stick around and chat with you until you get sleepy. This usually includes him holding you against him and fondling the softer parts of your body for fun, but you’re free to explore his body too. In fact, he likes it when you explore the intricate plating of his mechanical body and get him to explain the functions of certain parts. He can’t explain the science behind how his body moves but he can show off all the cool things it can do.
While Boothill tries to stay in bed with you as long as your pretty heart desires, unfortunately there are some nights where you can’t sleep together. His body runs on electricity, so he needs to plug himself into a special charging port lest his body shuts down. He’ll look into getting a long charging cable to fix this issue so he can charge while holding you.
Beach Headcannons for Hsr boys! (Mydei, Sunday, Boothill and Aventurine)
You chose all of my favorites, scorekip... it will be done. Very, very late. Also, we're getting beach aventurine already, i have interesting timing. @scorekip IS THIS IT IS THIS HOW I TAG
MYDEI
Already shirtless its not a big adjustment
Kidding... i dont think he's been to a beach before you take him to one. He has the baths, of course, but beaches were much harder to access in amphoreus.
He likes the feeling of the sand. He's used to the heat, and while salt and waves and new, the sand is likely the most different.
He'll let kids bury him the sand and ask you to teach him how to make sandcastles. He's not very good at it, but he is stubborn, and he will make it stand nonetheless
Still new to beaching, so not big on water sports. Probably stays on the sand unless you want him to swim with you. Then, his main goal is making sure you don't drown.
At least while he's tall enough to touch. See, that water in the baths was never deep enough to go over his head, so I don't think he ever properly learned to swim. Goes to shore pretty quickly after realizing.
At least he has a reason to come back- you need to give him swimming lessons. You won't say no, right?
BOOTHILL
Hates the sand. It gets into all his joints, scratches so weirdly, he'll find rust in a week, he just knows it...
Maybe the most scared you've ever seen him? Refuses to leave the towel you laid out. When the wind picks up sand and carries it towards him, an uncharacteristic scowl is on his face.
Now, how to get him off the towel. Look like you're having so much fun, and he's missing out, and he doesn't even have to play in the sand, just get in the water...! Yes, Boothill is quite intelligent, but I don't think he's currently thinking that the ocean is what carries sand to shore. I think he thinks the ocean is safe- or at least, is willing to overlook his concerns to have fun with you
Just has to be in the water 24/7. Hes waterproof enough, its alright. Most likely to do all the water sporty stuff with you. You surf? He'll try, land on his face, laugh it off and try again. Or the cool jet floaty think with the hose... (tell me you know what I'm talking about) he doesn't exactly trust it, but yes, he'll do it with you
the only weakness that may have him getting the sand is children. If some really sweet kids come up, asking for help with their castles or asking to bury him, or even just show curiosity about his robotic parts, he won't hesitate to help them
You know why, he doesn't need to say it. But it's sweeter if you help him with the kids, and then, you know... Cleaning off all that sand! (I am a sand hater for real)
SUNDAY
Hehe. Hehehehehehe
Wears the black scuba suit. The one that goes down to your wrists and ankles. That one. He complains about the heat too
You will have so much fun teasing him, if thats what you like to do
Also really pale... rarely goes out into real sun. This is actually for his health. He needs the vitamin D
Mostly wants to hang out in the shade and read the books he got about the area. If you chill with him, he might read softly to you, or you might be reading your own book. Either way, it's calm and relaxing
Brought a picnic basket. To have a picnic on the beach. He made everything and is quite flustered about it
He's a decent cook, but it's mostly cut fruit. Two sandwiches and two little cookies for a dessert... but the sandwiches are hearts.
His face is very very red and his heart is very very fast and you like it right?? Right???
Also not a sand person. Or a water person. But if he does get wet his wings will do the cutest flutter to try and shake off the droplets
AVENTURINE
(This is my man, btw. I actually pulled for him and his lightcone the minute he released, which happened to be in class where phones are banned. Very fun)
Most used to the beach. Has been there a fair few times. Tha sand reminds him a bit of home, though the ocean does not.
Surfs, and surfs well. We saw this in his waveflair expy, but it holds true
Will teach you how to surf if he can. Will do the thing where he's trying to correct your position or help you balance but it as all an excuse to touch you. I believe he is incredibly touchy, personally
also the beach is private. Wheres everyone else, you ask. And he just grins and says he bought the beach and its yours now. You've been there five minutes.
Most likely to fall asleep. A nice nap is great, though make sure he's in the shade. Don't wanna get sunburned... though you assume he'd have more protection from the suns rays, given where he's from. Still, you wake him up when it's time to apply suncreen.
He doesn't care. Let him sleep. Or, you could apply it for him? It's not that much. His arms, his legs, his neck maybe. If you care so much about sunburn, he says, you can just help him out
Tenses when you touch his neck. It's instinctual. He trusts you, you've seen the tattoo, of course, you know what it means and you've touched his neck before... but some habits are hard to be rid of.
Enjoys the rest of the day with you. Or week... maybe month... however long he can put off going back to work. As long as you can stay with him.
Aside, you might be able to tell i quit around amphoreus because the quests got so... so long... also its been a while since ive thought about boothill. So the first two might be kind of yuck, but i tried. I still log in to hsr but i want to get through the story but its so long and i dont wanna skip ... ugh.
i need a dynamic of rough-around-the-edges Boothill whose programming won't let him cuss x absolute sweetheart-looking darling who swears like a sailor

Boothill Dating headcanon
he will acts tough in front you when you compliments him yet grin stupidly if you’re aren't looking
if he gets caught by the IPC during the date he would drag you somewhere safe for hide as he puts his hat on you winking as he glances the surrounding
he is quiet possessive but not controlling, he won’t make you suffocate
if you ever feel anxious when he doesn’t pick up calls or message back, he came back to surprise you with a big bouquet full of roses with Argenti’s assistant
his love language is words of affirmation so he would give you lots of reassurance whenever you feel down, stressed or mad
your feet hurt? he’d carry you like a sack of potato
he'd proudly introduce you to Galaxy Rangers member, whilst you become close with Rappa
if you got lost in the Golden Hour he might panic and rushes immediately, once spotted he showers you with lots of kisses (afraid the IPC employees would target you)
you mad at him? he attempted 10x times apologies. you ignore him? he’ll buy lot of meals with a note ‘foods a must, love com’ sec. got chu babe :v’ you smile
he's mad at you? would never lashing out or throwing insults on you, hence he melts every time you try to make a pathetic face
a random headcanon that Boothill becomes absolutely insufferable when he's in a bad mood
first things first, he's the most emotional man you've ever met. you didn't even know a living person could have THAT many emotions written all over their face. the faces he makes when he's annoyed, offended, or just not feeling it are countless.
and it's also crystal clear that Boothill has no idea how to hide those emotions. no matter how many times he grumbles that everything is "just fluffin' amazin'," his face says the exact opposite. why else would he have chewed his lips raw and have that permanent line etched between his brows?
when he's upset, he huffs like a loud computer and looks like a boiling kettle, practically fuming with anger or outrage.
Boothill has a whole arsenal of smiles for every occasion, from sly grins to gentle smirks and toothy scowls. which one does he pull out today? depends on the situation... but none of them are easy to resist, which will definitely come back to bite you when he asks for something.
the cowboy has a habit of not admitting what's wrong until the very last moment, which makes communication even harder. nothing is ever right for him; even kisses somehow manage to rub him the wrong way. he complains you're kissing him wrong, or right but in the wrong spot, but refuses to say exactly where he wants your lips...
you're his cuddle pillow and his main source of emotional support. if that's the case and Boothill has grabbed you while in a sour mood, then my condolences – he's not letting go until he feels better. he hugs tight as usual, often from behind, resting his chin on top of your head. he pinches your sides or squeezes you in a bear hug if you try to wriggle free.
if Boothill gets it into his head that he doesn't want to go somewhere, then good luck moving him. no matter which way you pull or push, he'll stay rooted to the spot until you're completely worn out. if he really wants something, though, good luck stopping him. Boothill is as stubborn as a mule, as strong as a buffalo, and as fussy as a little kid. quite the combination, if you think you have enough patience to handle his difficult temperament.
a/n: insane heatwave going on everywhere currently, i hope everyone stays safe and drink lots of water !! Take care of yourselves <33
cw: light suggestive implications at the end
The cosmos were a frigid place to be in. Not just mentally, with the inherent sense of loneliness brought about when drifting through large areas of nothingness, but also physically.
Not that you'd know, of course. You rarely ventured out of the spaceship when traveling and when you did, it'd only be with the adequate equipment. What little you know of space's cold temperatures came from Boothill, mostly from when he'd come back from a venture out and would immediately bury his ice-cold face in the crook of your neck.
"Fucking- Get off me, asshole!" You'd squeal, trying to push the heavy cowboy off.
"Save me, darlin'! Reckon 'm turnin' into one'a them snowmen!" Boothill would lament dramatically, nuzzling against your warm skin.
That was the norm. That was your comfort zone, staying in spaces with a moderate temperature that were either refreshingly cool or just the right amount of warm. Not whatever the hell the Kata desert was.
"This place feels like having jalapeño peppers rubbed on your asshole" you mutter, making a pitiful attempt at fanning yourself.
"You speakin' from experience?" Boothill eyes you.
"I don't have to experience it to know what it'd feel like," you retort.
"Shut up. And how are you even walking around wearing all that leather? I'm sweating just from looking at you!"
Boothill shrugs, grinning lazily. "Eh. I'm used t'it. I've been through worse back home. An' hey, I always wore ponchos too. Y'gotta admit it's helpin', ain't it?"
You glance down at the poncho you were wearing, made of linen and thoughtfully purchased in your favorite color. Boothill had even gone as far as to embroider flowers onto the material in his spare time. They were a bit lopsided but hey! It's the thought that counts.
"It is... but still. How are you not sweating your balls off?" You raise a skeptical eyebrow.
"Probably 'cause I don't got any no more," Boothill quips.
"Not funny."
"You're laughin'."
"Maybe I'm choking to death from the heat."
Boothill rolls his eyes and holds his left hand out. You flinch back on instinct, not wishing to burn yourself on his metal body again. You were still pouting and cradling your poor hand from when you'd tried to grab the cowboy's hip, even though Boothill had already given you ice from his internal cooler and "kissed your hand better."
"Calm down, honeybee. Jus' helpin' ya cool off 'fore ya faint on me," Boothill sighs, blasting refreshingly cool air from the hole om his palm.
"Could've done this sooner, don't you think?" You grumble while leaning closer.
"Thought you were the one who said y'can handle yerself and ain't a delicate lil' flower," he snorts.
"I think the heat is making you hallucinate, dear."
Boothill shakes his head, a weary yet affectionate smile on his lips. He is so fucking tired of your sass and your antics and despite the heat leaving you and him in less-than-stellar moods, there really was no one else he'd rather be suffering with.
"Poor me, huh? Oughta put the licks in an' head back to camp then."
"Please. I can't believe you left all the cold drinks back there."
Boothill only chuckles, kissing you in apology. You gasp when his split tongue makes an appearance, shockingly cool.
"What? Told ya my insides always stay cool," He shrugs.
"No no.. Just... I'm thinking of other places where your tongue could be of use."
You yelp when Boothill presses his hat down on your head in response. All you manage to see before the brim obscures your vision is a roguish wink followed by the words:
"Hold yer horses there, darlin'. Don't want ya overheatin'."
I wonder... would fantasy Boothill settle for a crossbow? What about bounty hunter Boothill with armour made from steel and leather, riding on a quick horse, with a shiny crossbow in his hand. It's well crafted with intricate embellishments (polished metal, rich wood, shiny and new-looking) and it's visibly cherished: a prized possession. Paired with maybe... there's royal Reader of course, but perhaps a craftsman Reader? You're a tinkerer, a weaponsmith who takes great pride in your creations. Smelling of sap and iron and soot. Someone he runs across and someone who fixes up the crossbow when it's broken.
