Fluff HCs for Mateo, Bodhi, and Daemon
⊹₊ ˚‧︵‿₊୨ ᰔ ୧₊‿︵‧ ˚ ₊⊹
Sure!! :D Sorry this took a hot minute, I've been busy irl :> and I needed to replay Daemon's route just to make sure I got them good and relatively accurate.
(Note for the request; In keeping with Date Everything’s naming conventions, I’ve sort-of spoofed all the names of movies/shows/etc into slight off-brands.) (Also!! Borders from lavendergalactic!)
⊹₊ ˚‧︵‿₊୨ ᰔ ୧₊‿︵‧ ˚ ₊⊹
Mateo:
⊹₊ ˚‧︵‿₊୨ ᰔ ୧₊‿︵‧ ˚ ₊⊹
- If Mateo is too busy to come find you directly, he will sometimes ask one of the inanimals to carry a little note (sometimes love notes, sometimes just updating you on what he’s doing) with them and bring it to you. Depending on the inanimal, it will either be carried in its mouth, wrapped with a bow around its midsection, or, on occasion, carried in a little basket in the inanimal’s mouth. What can he say, sometimes they like to show off!
- Mateo insists he never cries at movies, but if you sit down with him to watch any movie where an animal dies, he will get so sad. He got so emotionally invested in the movie Charlie’s Web and was borderline inconsolable when Charlie died, just tucking his head in against your shoulder and holding you especially tightly. You could’ve sworn you felt some wetness on your shoulder where his eyes were, but he insisted it was nothing.
- Conversely, Mateo loves movies with animals doing happy things! Mozart, Air Pal, even animated stuff like Caponata. He also loves lighthearted comedies, romcoms, and musicals. That said, he’s not averse to watching something dramatic from time to time, he just prefers them to be way over-the-top, like a telenovela! Speaking of which, he absolutely loves getting way too into the absolute cheesiest, most stereotypical telenovelas and talking to you at length about his opinions on them. Bonus points if you get equally into it and have your own opinions on it!
- He is SO warm. Regardless of the temperature inside or outside, regardless of how much clothing he is or isn’t wearing, regardless of whether he just took a coddamn ice bath, he’s warm. This is great during winter because you can cuddle up nice and close, feeling his warm puffs of breath as you drift off to sleep… On the other hand, it’s borderline torture during summer. Mateo will try his damndest to respect your space during the warmer months, but he just can’t help the fact that he cuddles up to you in his sleep. It’s reflex! Nine times out of ten, you’re probably going to wake up tangled up with Mateo and sweaty as all get-out. Maybe invest in another fan… or have Hector crank the AC.
- Given Mateo’s closeness with the inanimals, they sometimes sneak into your room whilst you’re asleep. Usually, Dorian does a pretty good job of keeping them out, but some of those little buggers are just so small and slippery…! Don’t be surprised if you wake up with a cable snake curled up on your bed, or a wirecat flopped on your chest.
- If you fall asleep on the couch, though, it’s open season for the inanimals. Especially if Mateo’s there, too. You’ll be buried under a tsunami of cuddly critters before you can even jostle yourself awake. That said, Mateo does find it pretty heartwarming that they all took to you so quickly. He thinks it just speaks to what a warm, kindhearted person you are. <3
- The perfect person to go to for comfort, physical and emotional. He’s more than willing to cuddle you and wrap you up in his blankets whilst you tell him about your day-- or sit in silence, if that’s what you prefer. He doesn’t mind either way, so long as you feel safe and comforted.
⊹₊ ˚‧︵‿₊୨ ᰔ ୧₊‿︵‧ ˚ ₊⊹
Bodhi:
⊹₊ ˚‧︵‿₊୨ ᰔ ୧₊‿︵‧ ˚ ₊⊹
- Polaroids were extremely popular in the 80’s so, go figure, Bodhi absolutely loves them. Given his newfound anxiety over losing touch with the past, he especially loves to snap photos of the two of you doing whatever. He’s sort of impatient and constantly moving, though, so the photos don’t always turn out the best.
- As an add-on to that last blurb, it should be noted that he actually keeps a photo album of all your photos together! He loves to pen in little notes with sharpie/markers, draw hearts around pictures of you, and put stickers in the albums to make them look even more ‘tubular.’
- It’s a given, but Bodhi LOVES sharing 80s stuff with you, especially movies. Young Adult Wolf, Tricky Business, The Spoonies, all that good stuff! And speaking of…
- Bodhi is BIG into movie marathons. He’s especially curious about all the sequels and remakes related to stuff from the 80’s! Even if they’re usually pretty terrible, he’s always willing to give them a shot-- plus, it gives him an opportunity to cuddle with his bodacious babe, so who is he to complain?
- It should also be noted that Bodhi is a gigantic scaredy cat. He’ll deny it if asked, but he is absolutely terrified of any kind of horror movies, even the super cheesy ones! You ended up finding this out first-hand when Bodhi sat you down to watch Scalien, insisting it was a ‘total classic’, and he ended up diving to hide behind you about twenty minutes into the movie.
- Even with how much of a scaredy cat Bodhi is, if there’s ever any actual danger, his first priority is to protect you!
- On your first Halloween together, you wanted to take Bodhi to a haunted house. Initially, Bodhi seemed totally stoked for the idea (at least once you clarified that the house wasn’t actually haunted), and he walked into the place with a firm grip on your hand and a cheeky promise to protect you from any monsters waiting inside. At the first jumpscare, a ball with a sheet thrown over it and being dangled by a string to imitate a ghost, Bodhi screamed and picked you up, sprinting back out through the entrance Scooby Doo-style. You still haven’t quite let him live that one down…
- Also!!! He LOVES serenading you! This one is fairly obvious, considering the canonical song he writes for the MC, but I feel like he’d write new songs for you pretty regularly. Mostly 80’s power ballads, yeah, but some softer, sweeter tunes, too. He can definitely play the guitar, and he uses that to his advantage whenever possible! Anyway, here’s Wonderwall-
⊹₊ ˚‧︵‿₊୨ ᰔ ୧₊‿︵‧ ˚ ₊⊹
Daemon:
⊹₊ ˚‧︵‿₊୨ ᰔ ୧₊‿︵‧ ˚ ₊⊹
- Daemon produces a soft white-noise humming at all times, which is rather comforting so long as you don’t spend too long trying to focus on where it’s coming from (last time you did, you got a nosebleed, and Daemon felt a little guilty about the whole thing.)
- Given the nature of its existence, Daemon’s body is constantly changing, whether more subtly or into something entirely unrecognizable. Regardless of how unpleasant their texture becomes, or how frustrating it is to try to interact with her, he’ll always make sure that their body can’t/won’t hurt you. The last thing it wants is to scare you away completely.
- She is fairly stiff when it comes to hugs or cuddling, but is happy to follow your instructions! Despite the unstable nature of his body, Daemon is able to control how it changes, somewhat, at least enough to ensure you won’t get jabbed by something in the middle of the night. As such, cuddling next to Daemon can be surprisingly… comforting. That said, you do have the absolute weirdest dreams whenever you fall asleep next to them, and he always has this knowing look on her face when you wake up...
- Daemon absolutely loves physical touch, even if they won’t (or rather, can’t) say it directly. They love both giving and receiving it, and, if you’re willing, would spend hours tracing its hands over your body, feeling the smooth, steady, and entirely real sensation of you underneath her fingertips. It’s almost intoxicating for someone (something?) like him.
- He loves annoying you in stupid, small ways, whether it’s catching you in a dialogue loop or pulling you into a place where you shouldn’t be, only to return you back to normal a few moments later. It can be disorienting, certainly, but they’re not doing it out of abject malice, more so boredom. It’s something of a love language for her.
- Let them bite you. It finds it so fun to nibble at your skin, particularly your neck or wrist. The sensation feels like being touched by an old, warm TV.
- Daemon enjoys dancing, but their version of dancing is incredibly jarring, essentially teleporting you around a small radius and making sharp, strange movements as he holds on to you. She gets the oddest sense of satisfaction when you look so adorably confused and disoriented.
- He struggles to express certain things, particularly emotions. She is, however, great at parroting things back to you. Daemon’s favorite things to parrot back at you are teasing remarks, sarcastic comments, and, especially, declarations of affection. If you say ‘I love you’, it will repeat that back over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and
