Thinking of Dex looking through reader's phone while they sleep and finding hundreds pics of him just doing whatever, sometimes even when he's shirtless with his back on display😫
This ask literally made me jump for joy. Dex looking through readers phone 24/7 is a headcanon I firmly believe in and will ride at dawn for. It should be just as synonymous with his character as hitting a target imo!
Dex definetly scrolls through and browses readers phone when she's asleep right next to him. Reader might even be perched in one of his arms while he holds the phone in the other, and she would never know. (Or, honestly, maybe she would- because we saw with Julie just how bad Dex was with hiding his stalking LMAO he was found out in like two seconds) Regardless, Dex is 100% naive enough to do this blatantly and right next to her.
It's not that he expects to find anything shady unless you give him a reason too...but can you blame a guy for getting a little paranoid? (Yes, you can. You definitely can. Don't listen to Dex.)
I don't know if anyone else has seen that tiktok trend where boys do those loyalty tests on their girlfriends??? I don't think Dex would actually do this, at least not in the conventional social media way, but that sort of mentality reminds me of him a LOT.
He likes checking your phone anyways. In his mind, there shouldn't be any secrets between the two of you regardless. This is simply him reassuring himself of that fact. Privacy? What's that? Why would you need anything to be private from him, unless you're hiding something from him?
He's been in the FBI. He's witnessed firsthand all the shit those scumbags had on their phones. The dirty secrets all kinds of people keep from their loved ones. Their double lives and their affairs. He's just...checking. Most of the time it ends in nothing out of the ordinary, though Dex might go out of his way to block a few numbers you don't talk too anymore- or old flirtatious DMs before you met him. His jaw is probably clenched so tight seeing an ex's number or random guy liking your picture. He'll make a mental note for later to pay a "visit." (They are dying. There's no arguing that.)
And while this is a headcanon for another time, I also wouldn't be surprised if Dex is firm in his isolation of reader. I think he would very gradually attempt to phase out her social media all together. That's step one. Step two is literally everyone else that isn't him besides close family, if only for the fact he wants to be apart of your family like a normal guy. Be an upstanding and perfect boyfriend, have your dad call him son and all that.
But back to the original ask! If Dex saw that readers entire gallery pretty much consisted of only him, he'd be flustered beyond comprehension- and nothing short of elated. He might have to put his hand over his mouth when he undoubtedly makes a sound of sheer shock that almost wakes you up.
Those eyes of his are just focused so intently on that screen. That phone is trembling in his hands as he scrolls, breathing getting heavier and heavier. He registers just how...salacious the pictures are. He's just fixated, scrolling mindlessly as he internalizes the amount of intimacy.
There is two ways this goes. In one scenario, I don't doubt he has to set the phone down just to take a breather and stare at the ceiling. He'll watch the fan spin while his fingertips dig into you subconsciously. He's not letting you go for anything. The entirety of New York could be on fire on the outside of your building. You'll die together, just like this. And he'd die happy in that moment.
And in another scenario, he just gets himself so worked up that he can't help but reach out to you, tracing the lines and contours of your skin- mirroring your own lust right back at you. He'll get so hard so fast, and he doesn't want to wake you up...but he just can't help it. If you don't feel his hips grinding roughly into your back while he pants, you'll be feeling his fingers stuffing you full in the morning.
Either way, he won't get a wink of sleep that night, and it's only because he's having trouble grasping just how much love the two of you must have for each other. He really doesn't think he deserves you. But make no mistake, he'll thoroughly show you.
