New Claycy Hc's
Saw someone like my old one, and i feel like i have to redo them. The old ones are somewhat ooc and I feel like i need to do them justice.
Lots of material coming up, beware!
They have date nights where they do face masks and eat take out. They sometimes paint each others nails, Clay braids Macy's hair, and sometimes they just do nothing. It took a while for Clay to get used to "not doing anything specific", but eventually he became decently good enough at it. (Stim toys help)
Clay's magical scarring causes him phantom pain which can be quite draining. Macy helps him apply a sort of "medication" atop his scars. He insist he can do it himself, but she is just as stubborn to help him. He puts up less resistance on really bad days, but he'll still mumble some protest.
Macy takes a lot of picture of them together.
Macy has shown Clay all of her Ned knightly stuff. He now keeps a mental list of what she has, so whenever he finds new material he can get it for her without her ending up with duplicates.
They are pretty affectionate, but not supper into PDA. Sure they might hold hands and give the other a short goodbye kiss, but other than that they're not all that affectionate (in the traditional sense.)
In private they are a bit mushy. A lot of kisses, hugging and cuddling. Several make out sessions have been interrupted and they try their best not to let it show (It's painfully obvious).
They do a lot of parallel play. They just sit in silence at half arms length and have the time of their life. Clay will sometimes even seek her out just to sit in the same room as her and continue doing his work.
Clay doesn't have much of a sweet tooth. Knowing this Macy buys them both sweets, knowing Clay won't eat much of it, meaning she will get to enjoy whatever's left.
Clay is absolute dog-shit at flirting. His attempt at looking at her lovingly just looks like he has a starring problem. Macy gets what he's trying to do (eventually)
Macy isn't exactly much better, but it's still better than what Clay can do.
Clay wears glasses in his downtime (Contacts whenever he isn't). Macy very much likes him with glasses on, which leads to him wearing them a bit more often.
They sometimes play music together, trying to do improvised lyrics. They end up laughing hysterically at their bad rhymes or missplayed chords
Macy has a bit of an issue with volume control, which doesn't pair well with Clay's sensitive hearing. However, Clay didn't want to admit it at first, given he didn't want to make Macy feel bad about it. They talked it out eventually tho.
Macy introduced Clay to fan fiction back at the academy. Every now and again they build a pillow fort and Macy reads a fanfic or two to him, letting him share his thoughts on the material at hand. It took him a while to quite wrap his head around it, but fairly enjoys it now.
When they first started dating they were PAINFULLY awkward. Like it was so fucking bad. Clay has no idea what he's doing, this being his first relationship and all. Macy may have some previous experience, but isn't sure what the hell she's meant to do either since he wouldn’t take a stand on anything for a bit.
Their usual rotation of movies are romance, action and horror. Every now and again they’ll watch some reality tv, specifically in the survival category.
Clay had for a very long time sort of unwillingly overheard drama and just not know what to do with it, and decided to still just try to keep tabs on people in case something were to happen. One day Macy had rhetorically what’s up with someone of which Clay had overheard a conversation from, and so he just casually responded. During date nights they end up gossiping quite a bit (although Clay doesn’t want to admit that that’s what they’re doing.)
Early on in their relationship while Clay was finishing up some midnight training he had walked by the kitchen and caught Macy in the middle of a midnight fridge raid. He ended up keeping her company.
They started dating around the beginning of season 6. Clay would’ve recently returned from his little escaped and it was the first battle they would enter together, sort of. Clay was still resting up from the last magical battle him and Fletch had and was gonna be helping from the sidelines, maybe jump on later as air support. Macy was just about to jump into the Hotspur, but hesitated and heads back to Clay only to kiss him, just in case she’d loose him in battle again (romance logic, don’t do this in irl for the love of god) (might write a fic bout this, dunno.)
(To top off the last hc) The other knights still mock that cheesy ass display, on some “be safe” “I’ll be so safe” “be safe for me, mwah mwah mwah!”. Low-key half the reason they’re not being on PDA, because they will get mocked for it (lovingly.)
Lance is equally as much of hater as he is a supporter. (That’s it. That’s the hc)
Clay, being as distant to his emotions as he always had been, wouldn’t have realised he had feeling for Macy until his mental breakdown with Fletch in the forest. Towards the end, when he was calming down, the conversation would’ve circled into the knights and how Clay feels about the knights. When he got to Macy, Fletch immediately clocked his ass. Something like:
Fletch: Omg are you into her?
Clay: What? Nono, I’m not into her. She’s just .. amazing. She has so many admirable traits, it would be unfair not to point them out.
Fletch: But you didn’t do that for the others.
Clay: Yes i did. She just has a lot. She’s .. she always been by my side when i needed her. She makes me laugh and i love her thrive to keep going and- oh my god I’m in love with her.
Fletch: Yeah sounds about right.
When it comes to pet names so is Clay not one to use em. Maybe the occasional “honey”, but that’s rare. If asked why, he’d simply respond “I like her name”. Macy on the other hand is not hesitant to use em, in a bit of a weird way. She’s much more likely to call him pet names, but eventually started calling him stupid/cringey ones (bbg, kitten, ect) as a joke. But it went on for so long he now responds to all of them.
Clay shows his love for Macy in small tasks and gifts from throughout the day (buying something she was craving, when he gets something to drink he gets some for her as well, drawing small hearts on papers he gives her or tracing it over her skin, ect). But when they’re alone he does more noticeable/larger acts such as offering to rub her shoulders if they’re sore, help her take out or do her hair, helping her with laundry, ect.
Clay is very much an acts of service and gift giving when he shows love, but prefers receiving quality time and a bit of words of affirmation (and physical touch. Took a while to realise how touched starved he was.) Macy is much more into giving words of affirmation and physical touch, which applies to how she loves receiving it as well. She wasn’t much into gifts at first, since it was for a very long time gifts that showed how people really had no understanding about who she actually was. But ended up really enjoying Clays gifts, since they truly reflected how well he understood and listened to even the smallest details.
They love sparring together. Complimenting the others techniques and trying out/showing off new moves. Every now and again they switch weapons to see how they’d do in the others shoes. This was originally something they did long before they started dating. Once they did start, they incorporated Clay’s magic and tried to see how they could work with it together in battle.
Macy may have issues with volume control, but Clay is like really bad with tone control. Several times have people thought they were arguing when they were just having a rather friendly conversation. However, more than once has Clay said something and realised just how mean he sounded and immediately apologised, only to find Macy laughing (she knows what he meant.)
“Would you love me if I was a worm” and other questions like that turns into a rather long debate of follow up questions. “Am I worm too?” “What type of worm?” “Are you worm sized or human sized?” “Are still the same mentally or are you just fully worm?”. It’s more fun that way.
And to top it all off, here are some sketches I made! I might make more but I wanna post this already so take these for now.
mini comic. Love them <3
And one finally sketch I did in class that’s low-key ugly but I thought I’d throw it in her anyway.
And thats what I have for now, hope y’all enjoy! Do feel free to share your own hc, might draw them, who knows. I haven’t had a lot of motivation for drawing for a while now, been genuinely locked into writing for like a LONG time. So yeah!
