“ the sun’s light ” — hayden naito x f!reader dating headcanons !!
cw: headcanons, fluff/comfort, sliiight suggestive implications, slight angst (it's okay hayden, nobody's perfect)
besides the occasional “babe” or “baby”, HE’D CALL YOU “pretty” OR “pretty girl”
“c’mere please? i missed you so much, you have no idea, pretty girl”
loves kissing you on your lips as a greeting, goodbye, or casual PDA, but if you're not as comfortable w that, he also loves kissing your nose! and in private, when he's more tired or relaxed (or frisky…?), he loves leaving slow kisses on your jaw
would let you trace and color in his tattoos whenever you’re stressed or anxious, humming a random song while you're on top of him
a lot of (careful) playfighting in bed if you've been teasing him too much. finds your giggles adorable as he traps you between his arms
hope you like tickles 🙏 he WILL pinch or tickle your sides and ass if you've been dating long enough.. if you're giving him the silent treatment or to just be annoying
would cook literally anything for you! he's always loved experimenting in the kitchen so there's near to nothing he wouldn't try making for you. disclaimer: he WILL jokingly fish for compliments and praise tho
“taste sweet, baby? mhm, great, great.. you know what else is sweeter?”
run a hand through his hair and he’ll MELT. will legit turn as red as the dye in his hair. USE THIS SPARINGLY or you will kill the remaining functioning brain cells he has left.
secretly loves taking any chance there is to flex his physique (sending gym pics, walking around his room shirtless, getting you trace the tattoos on his biceps, and.. among.. other things…)
his top love languages are quality time (giving) and words of affirmation (receiving). having you anywhere near him gives him a giant motivation boost (you’re his body double vv frequently to help him with his ADHD bc of this) and overall just having you with him really helps anchor his attention. + he acts funnily smug and fishes for praise jokingly until… you actually genuinely compliment him and his heart grows twice its size.
“okay, don't lie babe, my arms look amazing in this shirt” “(shyly laughs) that good, huh..? i mean, i try.. and i'll definitely try harder if you keep looking at me like that..”
he remembers the most random, specific details of events in your relationship that are important to him. cody reminded him to ask the hotel staff to refill the ice in the bar just 10 minutes ago? slipped his mind. what jewelry were you wearing on your first ever date? he knows where you got it, how much it costs, and where you put them in your room :p
will DIE before he ever tells you this but he subconsciously draws and doodles you whenever he fidget-draws on anything. he never told you because he’d get scared of you thinking he’s a creep, but if you look in a specific drawer in his room, you’d find napkins, receipts, and sticky notes all with little doodles of you.
whenever you order at the bar, he puts in a liiiittle more effort in your order compared to everyone else’s, maybe your pasta has cleaner presentation or your shirley temple has an extra cherry... served with a wink and a smug grin, of course. (shh, just don’t tell staff <3)
honestly? finds you the most attractive when you’re confident; he thinks the pride you have in yourself makes you radiant. (may or may not bite his lip whenever you stand your ground or bite back…)
he is INCREDIBLY patient with you. slow learner? he’ll repeat instructions over and over again. scared to open up? he’s right here with a shoulder for you to lean on and your favorite drink in hand. you make a bad mistake? he’ll wait and listen to your side of things.
though, during heated arguments, when he notices himself getting too mad, he has a bad habit of walking out on you. It's not that he's avoiding responsibility, but rather he's terrified of lashing out and saying something that’ll hurt you. he’s trying to get better, he promises, he just doesn’t wanna lose you. not any more people please.
“pretty, i’m.. sorry i left you. i didn’t mean to, i swear, i was mad and i didn’t wanna say anything until i calmed down.” “come here.. please? i just wanna hold you.. just a bit…”
gets protective and defensive when anyone trashes your name, achievements, role, etc. and will full-on have your back, ready to defend what you’ve accomplished and your efforts.
is always terrified of you interacting with the subjects and tries not to get you involved with whatever shenanigans they get up to, convincing you they’re just playing around. is secretly always overthinking that it isn’t safe for you to be dating him, not in the hotel, so he doesn’t let you get too close to staff.
but it really doesn’t change the fact that he loves you. you’re the reason why he tries harder to work on his ADHD, why he tries to use calendars, why he’s motivated to clean his room, why he can finally sleep better at night.
you inspire him so much to get better and he’ll be damned if you ever feel any less than perfect. no matter what happens t̸̢́ö̴͕ ̴̦̒ḫ̸̚i̴̫͗ḿ̵͇, he promises he’ll figure it out. he hopes every day that he won’t mess up what you guys have.
