So this post by @somerandomjewelleryonthefloor got me thinking, and I wanna go a little more in-depth about this topic for Evie and Aiden...
It goes without saying that the primary reason Evie and Aiden are together is because of each other's personalities, how they're always there for each other, and how well they relate to and understand one another.
But there is also a significant amount of physical attraction in their relationship. Both of them have their favorite assets about each other and frequently act on it.
Details below the cut because I made this way too long. CW for suggestive-ish stuff I guess
To start, Evie is a major Ass Woman when it comes to men. There are many assets she loves on men- tits, thighs, belly, hips. But ass tends to be her biggest fixation of them and she can't quite place her finger on why. Probably because it comes off as the most intimate? (Especially since Evie always, y'know, "plays pitcher" with Aiden).
Aiden has a good amount of each of Evie's 5 favorites for sure, top that with also being Pretty Boy Extraordinaire. But his ass and legs and hips definitely stand out from the rest. I imagine that all that marching in marching band definitely does him justice, plus (in my headcanons) he sometimes runs or jogs as a side exercise. And he's canonically good at roller-skating. He may have spent most of his life up to this point being very music-focused, but he does not miss leg day. Thus Evie is also very obsessed with the way he walks.
Of course, she also craves the physical interaction with his best features just as much as she does the visual. Caressing, holding, squeezing, squishing, kissing, sucking, leaving hickeys and bite marks, resting against them. Aiden straddling/sitting in Evie's lap, Evie hugging Aiden from behind. These can be turn-ons for her, but they can also be very soothing. Having a bad day Evie? Just squeeze your boyfriend's ass like it's a pair of stress balls. Or smother your face against his tits (which not only feels nice for her, but it allows her to listen to his heartbeat, which is extra soothing). Or lie down while he straddles you and just sits or lies down on top of you.
For Aiden, Evie's infatuation with his body is sort of a guilty pleasure. On one hand, he's a firm believer that physical attraction isn't enough for a relationship, and sometimes he has felt a bit weird about a lot of focus on physical featues. But he also feels very confident in Evie's admiration for his personality, musical talents, dedication, etc. She's made it very clear ever since that night on the Hearst rooftop that he inspires her, after all.
Plus, he does put a fair amount of effort into his appearance, and he's quite proud of it too. To the point where he's even composed a whole song about his own good looks prior to his relationship with Evie (yes, this is canon). So he loves to see some appreciation for it.
Aiden getting flustered is also the perfect cherry-on-top for Evie too. Even just the slightest touch gets him to react. Standing in place as his face turns red. Starting to sputter, tryng to avert his gaze. Letting out a gasp, squeak, whine. Squirming in her grasp. Or just getting the biggest fucking grin on his face because he loves her touch so much. It feels that good to him. Often he'll actively egg her on, sometimes even doing things like bringing her hand back to his ass, or gently pressing her face against his chest.
And let's face it. Aiden totally has a praise kink. He may get easily flustered, but he loves when he gets compliments. Whether it be for his music, his looks, etc. He loves when his partner desires him, makes him feel sexy, props him up. He will take offense if you give tell him his outfit is just "pretty okay" (yes, this is also canon).
Speaking of which! Dating a gal like Evie who is A) very proudly GNC about her own appearance and B) infatuated with his ass, legs, belly, etc. definitely gets Aiden curious about trying new kinds of clothing, often in the more risque and daring category. Stuff like crop tops and short shorts are his favorite, and he's also a big fan of skirts/dresses with high leg slits, thigh-high stockings and boots, even waist jewelry. Trying on risque outfits and flaunting himself gives him feelings of excitement and confidence, along with making Evie unable to take her eyes off of him. He loves to look like a goddess and he loves when Evie treats him like a goddess, they're such guilty pleasures for him.
That's not to say Aiden doesn't like his old in-game clothing styles either. He can't give up that sharp distinguished look. And even those can make for some very good eye-candy for Evie. Jeans or slacks that hug his rear and hips, and a waistcoat that hugs his waist? Perfection. I mean just look at the fall casual, marching band, concert, and prom outfits. You know those outfits are hugging his ass in all the right places. You know all the Aiden-romancing MCs are checking out his rear in the marching band uniform at the football games. Man knows he's got cake.
Sometimes Aiden will even combine the two styles- like wearing a sleek crop top with a pair of sharp, snug slacks or jeans. Or taking on a serious demeanor while wearing a slinky gown with a hip-high leg slit. Blend sharp and serious with daring and risque, and you've got the perfect recipie for cunt-serving.
And Aiden of course, has some physical attraction of his own. However, there is a distinction to be made between which part of her that he likes in a more romantic sense. and which part of her that he's most sexually attracted to. Romantically, his personal favorite is, as per canon, Evie's nose, as it reminds him of how close she is to him. He definitely takes on the habit of kissing her nose, touching noses with her, sometimes even booping her. He loves the goofy lil smile and squeaky lil giggle she makes when he boops her. It's cute.
Her hands are a close second, but that one is sort of a mix between romantic and sexual for him. Aiden, being a dedicated musician, has a fascination with hands, the dexterity of hands and fingers. It intrigues him to see how they work, it excites him to see different skills that rely on hands and fingers. And Evie may not be able to play an instrument to save her life, but there are plenty of... other things she's good with her hands and fingers at.
Aiden's other favorite is Evie's muscles, namely her abs and biceps. There's just something about musculature that fascinates him (especially musculature on women) and he just doesn't know why. Probably a big part of it for him is the texture, the grooves and bumps, the firmness and tautness. It sort of inspires ideas for music in him. Needless to say, he loves when Evie does anything involving muscles. Lifting weights, lifting him, holding him protectively...
He has a hard time choosing whether he likes Evie's abs or biceps better. Visually, he probably prefers the biceps, as they're part of the arm and thus share some connection with the hand and fingers. But he probably prefers the physical feel of her abs. They've got more bumps and grooves.
Aiden also tends to be a lot more reserved when wanting to get a feel for her features in a public setting. Well, he tries to, anyways. He doesn't do it as frequently as Evie does, and when he does do it, he tends to be a lot more sneaky. Like if he wraps his arm around her, putting his hand on her arm, and gently feels or squeezes her bicep while having his arm around her.
And uh... there's probably more, but that's about all I can think of for now.
You have ulterior motives behind this, don't you Aiden? You wanna do exactly this with Evie, don't you Aiden? You wanna watch her do shirtless weightlifting and have her watch you do squats, don't you Aiden?
Also yes I will be making a joke about this in the fic where Evie and Aiden prepare tour notes together

🎲 - Pick a question from any of these three lists <3
TYSM for these asks! <3 <3 <3
Ask Game 1 for Alan
🎃What would their Halloween outfit be?
Definitely the same or a similar Halloween outfit to Regina George from Mean Girls.
🎟Say they go to a fair/carnival, what fair treat would they get to eat, and what attraction would they like the most?
His favorite treat is probably the cotton candy (easiest to eat while still wearing lipstick). His favorite attractions would be the carousel and the game booths.
🩵Do they bite or leave hickies on their partner? And do they leave them where people can see it? Or do they hide them and press on the marks when they're in public?
Alan doesn't leave bitemarks or hickeys... but rather, lipstick marks. And always in places on the ladies where they would be visible or at least partly visible.
Bonus Evie headcanon: One of many potential alternate versions of this moment of Aiden being dared to take off his shirt in the truth or dare premium scene features Aiden taking off his shirt and conveniently forgetting about the multiple hickeys and bite marks that Evie left all over his chest and stomach the night before. Zoe asserted that not only was Evie lucky for having a very attractive non-muscular boyfriend, but that Aiden was also lucky for having a girlfriend who clearly adores and worships him this greatly.
Ask Game 2 for Evie x Aiden
11. Who leaves notes in the other one's lunch? (Bonus: what do they say?)
Both of them would do it, though not super often. It'll usually be simple sweet messages like "I love you!" or "Have a great day sweetheart", and sometimes a little doodle to accompany it.
26. Who is prone to road rage?
Neither of them. Evie might sometimes lean into it but only a little bit.
Ask Game 3 for Dick x Peg
Pre-Relationship 6: What was their “flirting stage” like?
😏😏😏
I think we all know hehehe
General 12: Do they hide anything from each other, big or small?
Considering the title of the book, they've definitely hidden stuff from each other at first. I'm not sure what exactly yet tho, I still need to finish the story.
Love 13: How do they make up after an argument? Who is the first one to apologize?
😏😏😏
Yeah we all know how they make up after an argument. Who apologizes first, depends on the argument itself.
Domestic Life 10: Who is more likely to convince the other to come back to sleep in the morning?
Probably Dick? But I could see Peg doing it too. She has an "adorably needy" side to her. Like Dick gets up and Peg just sleepily mumble-whines "Noooo come baaaack to sleeeep" while reaching her arm out like a cat.
