Masky - Forehead and Cheeks
-> Tim is an overly caring person--constantly fretting over and trying to provide for his partner without being overbearing or even muttering it into existence -> his anxiety is nearly as strong as his love for you, one the plague of a paranoid mind and the other an ache in his once hollow heart -> he chokes trying to express it, each action stifled by worries of what if, somehow he is grounded knowing your his and his alone and yet he is constantly worried when it will end--as it always does
-> this paired with how little free time he has it for to be just the two of you, makes him sick
-> as a product his kisses are a bit rare and usually rushed
-> he'll pull you in close to his chest, strong arms locked over your sides, hands settled on the small of your back, calloused fingers feeling the ridges of your spine to the apex of your neck and finally resting on your cheeks
-> he'll lean in--slowly, each time, giving you room to pull away--and start with the crown of your head as his fingers creep up into your hair
-> from there he pulls you close again, chests close to hear each others heartbeats and only let go when he absolutely has too
-> it could be before you go to shower or on his way too a mission--whenever you two will be apart, really, as if he's scared you wont be there when he's back
-> almost as if you're a trick of the mind
-> then he'll pull away, only to hesitate and pull you back in for the briefest moment to kiss you on the cheek before he's gone again
Hoodie - Neck and Collar
-> brian's kisses are playful and light, a teasing jest undercut with passion and adoration
-> his small displays are extremely common, a silent yet constant show of his love--yet the best ones, the ones worth remembering, are all but a rarity
-> even though most of his freetime is spent with you theres very little of it, and it often isnt quality time he simply enjoys existing next to you
-> an odd itch is scratched, seeing you alive and whole besides him without a need to make it known
-> he has an inability to relax--something always must be done and he must be the one to do it
-> when he does finally settle, and you find yourself in his arms he won't move--not an inch, because now his purpose is not disturbing you, the work that must be done is providing you with his undivided attention
-> these moments usually come at night, past midnight, mere hours before he must leave you again before even the sun can glimpse your stunning visage
-> the TV is on, playing some forgettable b-roll you've both seen for a million times on limited cable, yet you desperately cling to it, frantic for more moments, to just stay awake and with him because you know when you open your eyes, he'll be gone
-> your perches safely in his lap, his arms around you and the only thing passively keeping you upright
-> you can feel the steady rise and fall of every breath--half asleep himself, laying kisses on your shoulders and neck
-> they're soft but tender, feather light for fear of pulling you from the sleep you need
-> as his head dips he murmurs sweet nothings, pet names, and wishes you sweet dreams
-> some of the kisses are possessive, claiming, something to linger so he's sure you wont forget him in his absence
-> you never mind them, not in the slightest
-> you're far too focused on his sweet voice asking you to fall asleep with him
Toby - Lips and Nose
toby is FAR from pickle, his love for you is a undisputable constant, something inscribed in stone and written in the stars
its in every beat of his heart and every breath he takes, etched in the corners of his mind
however, his expression of it is not
somedays he cant get enough of your love and attention, worming closer to you and wishing to share the same skin
he'll sit on top of you at any odd angle--in your lap, leaning into you, you in his, your limbs intertwined--meeting your lips with his
slowly he'll somehow ebb closer and closer until every last bit of space is gone and you both fall over in a fit of giggles
days like these he stays there--just happy to exist, to breathe the same air
the kisses are deep but gentle--no substance, no angst, nothing but purse passive joy at being in your presence
he wants to be happy and wants you right there alongside him
somedays though--rather than feeling starved for touch, he feels sick inside
a festering rot that wont go away, a disgust with himself so deep it settles in his bones and wards everyone away through venom spilt from a lashing tongue
the air between you feels thick and full as he sits away--yet he is never gone
as angry as he may be at himself his sweet core remains and he will lay a hand on yours, or a leg over yours--small, faint, and oh so important
occasionally he'll lean closer when he can stomach himself enough, kissing you softly on your nose and resting his forehead on yours for a moment
he'll allow himself the sliver of pleasure of your breaths mingling--maybe he'll shift down to rest his head on your shoulder to try and share your world view and contemplate what the world looks like through your eyes
every kiss remains sweet and full of love, a devotion that never wanes but simply changes shape
Eyeless Jack — Forehead and Hands
jack's affection isn't obvious in many ways--hes a stoic, reserved man and PDA makes him falter
you are his and his alone--you know it and so does he, why show something so private and sincere
yet when you are alone it is plentiful, he practically needs to be touching you, to have you close, to feel the warmth of your skin against his
he may have risen again but he is not alive without you by his side pumping purpose into his veins, fueling his very being
he much prefers actions to words, finding less and less use for language the less human he becomes
every kiss is heavy with purpose, weighted with a quiet deliberation
it feels most natural to kiss you on your forehead--something tender and firm yet easy to reach as he is impossibly tall
he particularly enjoys doing so when you're tired
he'll slide up behind you, most often when youre doing something, something that can wait until youve had a proper rest and instead of arguing he simply convinces you to ease away
clawed hands find your waist, pulling you back against him so he can feel his favorite thing in the world
his chin rests atop your head and for a moment he relishes in the heat of your body before pressing a slow kiss to your forehead
sometimes it will drift to your temple, almost absently, lingering wherever his lips travel before he pulls away
only then does he shift and turn, smoothing you to turning and pulling you away from whatever occupies you to sit besides him
besides one another he'll take one of your hands, cradling it in his palm, turning it over and tracing the curves of every wrinkle, edge, and bone until he can see it in his minds eye
between words he'll shift from mapping with his fingers to his mouth, muttering words to your skin without disrupting the flow of your conversation
its never dramatic or something he draws attention too--simply a subtle intimacy
Jack doesn't need to constantly remind you that he loves you.
Somehow, the quiet little kisses make it obvious.
BEN Drowned — Cheeks and Jaw
BEN is annoyingly affectionate when he gets comfortable with someone, attached at your hip, not giving you a moment alone--why would he have to?
"you take your phone everywhere" he jests but it truly isnt
he will be there--always, even passively if you ask him for space--he just adores being with you, watching you
you are his favorite thing, after all
he will pretend he isnt, obviously, putting on a coy act no one buys that seems so effortless they dont question it
it can even be a fun game to him, slipping out when you dont expect and peppering you with kisses over your cheeks and face because he simply cant help himself
afterwards, still hanging off you with a smug grin, he'll act as if nothing happened
he adores staying close to your face and cheeks because not only can he see the reaction he can feel it
the rush of blood from your blush, the hitch of your breath, the pull of your muscles as you begin giggling and wiggling beneath him
even in moments where he cant hang off of you he'll lean in and peck your cheek--then again and again until all activites are abandoned, controlled discarded on the ground in favor of you
BEN would never be one to pick a silly game over his partner
If you turn to look at him, he'll have the most innocent expression imaginable.
"What?"
You know exactly what.
When he's feeling particularly affectionate, he'll cup your face in both hands and pepper little kisses across your cheeks until you're trying to push him away laughing.
His jaw kisses are quieter.
Usually when you're sitting beside him late at night, he'll lean against your shoulder and lazily trace his thumb along your jaw.
Then he'll tilt your face toward him and press a slow kiss there.
He'll linger for a second before pulling away with a smug little smile.
And if you complain that he does this constantly?
He'll just grin.
"Sounds like a you problem."
Kate the Chaser — Nose and Temples
Kate's affection is understated.
She isn't the type to constantly cling to you or shower you in kisses.
Instead, she has these small moments where she'll suddenly become incredibly gentle.
Her favorite place to kiss is your nose.
Usually when you're sitting together somewhere quiet.
She'll reach over, brush your hair away from your face, and stare at you for a second longer than necessary.
Then she'll lean in and press a quick kiss to the tip of your nose.
It's almost teasing.
Especially when she catches you smiling afterward.
"Don't."
She'll say it while smiling herself.
Her temple kisses are different.
Those happen when you're upset, exhausted, or having a particularly bad day.
She'll pull you against her chest and run her fingers through your hair.
Then she'll press a kiss against your temple and keep you there.
She doesn't always say anything.
She doesn't have to.
Sometimes she'll just stay beside you until you've calmed down.
And if you fall asleep against her?
She'll quietly kiss your temple again before adjusting the blanket around you.
Clockwork — Cheeks and Eyelids
Natalie is affectionate in a way that's surprisingly gentle.
She has a tendency to stare at you when she thinks you're not paying attention.
And when you catch her, she'll usually just smile and kiss you.
Her favorite place is your cheek.
She'll cup your face with one hand and kiss your cheek slowly, almost like she's trying to memorize the moment.
Sometimes she'll give you another one just because she can.
Then she'll pull away with that little satisfied smile.
Her favorite kisses, though, are the ones she gives when you're asleep.
Nothing strange or dramatic.
Just tiny kisses to your eyelids or forehead when you're curled up beside her.
If you're awake enough to notice, she'll immediately pretend she wasn't doing anything.
"Go back to sleep."
She'll brush your hair out of your face and kiss your forehead again.
Natalie isn't always good at saying exactly what she's feeling.
So instead, she'll touch your face, kiss your cheek, and stay close.
You learn pretty quickly that those little gestures mean more coming from her than a hundred words would.
Nina the Killer — Lips and Cheeks
Nina is ridiculously affectionate.
She has absolutely no concept of personal space when it comes to her partner.
Her favorite place to kiss you is your lips, mostly because she loves being close to you.
She'll randomly grab your face between both hands and pull you into a kiss in the middle of a conversation.
Doesn't matter what you were talking about.
Doesn't matter if you were trying to do something.
"Sorry, you were being cute."
And then she'll do it again.
Her cheek kisses are even more frequent.
She'll kiss your cheek when she wakes up.
Kiss it when you leave the room.
Kiss it when you come back.
Kiss it because you made her laugh.
Kiss it because she simply feels like it.
Sometimes she'll wrap her arms around you from behind and bury her face against your shoulder before turning your head and giving you a quick kiss.
She's especially fond of leaving a bunch of tiny kisses across your cheeks while you're laughing.
Nina's affection is loud, shameless, and impossible to miss.
She wants you to know exactly how much she loves you.
And she's not going to let you forget it.
Jeff the Killer — Neck and Cheek
Jeff isn't nearly as affectionate as he pretends to be.
He'll tease you relentlessly if you point out how often he kisses you.
"What? You keeping track?"
He absolutely is the one keeping track.
His favorite place to kiss you is your cheek, particularly when he's trying to get your attention.
He'll grab your chin, turn your face toward him, and give you one quick kiss before letting go.
Sometimes he'll do it simply because you're talking too much.
"There. Continue."
His neck kisses are much quieter.
Usually when you're sitting together and he's relaxed enough to stop pretending he doesn't need affection.
He'll pull you against his side, tuck his face against your neck, and leave a few lazy kisses there.
They're surprisingly gentle.
Sometimes he'll stay there afterward, his arms loosely wrapped around you.
If you tease him about being affectionate, he'll immediately deny it.
"Shut up."
Then he'll kiss your cheek again.
Jeff doesn't like making himself vulnerable.
So the fact that he'll willingly seek out your affection at all says more than he would ever admit.
Jane the Killer — Forehead and Lips
Jane's affection is much more intentional.
She doesn't kiss you just because she happens to be nearby.
When she kisses you, she wants you to know exactly what she means by it.
Her favorite place is your forehead.
Especially first thing in the morning or before you go to sleep.
She'll brush your hair away from your face and press a slow kiss against your forehead.
Sometimes she'll linger there for a moment with her eyes closed.
It's almost ritualistic.
Her kisses on the lips are more passionate, but still gentle.
She'll usually hold your face in both hands while she kisses you, thumbs resting against your cheeks.
When she pulls away, she'll stay close enough that your foreheads are still touching.
Sometimes she'll smile before giving you another small kiss.
Jane doesn't need to be constantly touching you.
She actually prefers quiet intimacy.
Sitting beside you.
Holding your hand.
Brushing your hair back.
Kissing your forehead when she thinks you're asleep.
It's her way of saying I'm here.
And when Jane loves someone, she makes sure they never have to question whether she's staying.
