Denari and dating <headcanons>
I do not consent to my work being used for anything, especially involving any sort of AI. No chat bots, or writing scraps. I only post on Tumblr (subject to change, I will say if it does)
⭑.ᐟ Leon is a very loyal person, when he wants to be. When someone gains his trust, he'll stay and help when needed. You, he stays for.
⭑.ᐟ Definitely an acts of service type of guy. He analyzes people and situations for a living, you think he won't do the same for you? He remembers everything about you, even stuff you've never told him. He's doing things he knows you don't like or want to do, especially if it's a chore, he can do those easily.
⭑.ᐟ Additionally, he's great at getting gifts, every holiday celebrated leads with big smiles and long thank you's. He always knows just what to get you, be it something you've wanted for ages or something you didn't know you needed.
⭑.ᐟ Cute nicknames aren't common with him, but he has a few. He's more of a 'sweetheart' guy than anything else, maybe a 'tesoro' (darling/treasure) if he's feeling a little more loving. But during late nights when he's all affectionate and needs you to know how much he loves you? A quiet 'anima gemella' (soulmate/soul twin) is whispered in your ear. Probably also has a silly nickname for more playful moods, something about you being his lucky charm. But most of the time he simply calls out to you with your name, rest assured it's full of all the love a man could have.
⭑.ᐟ Affection can be common from him, when he's home. Getting home from long missions or simply being at work for weeks on end is a different type of happiness from his day to day.
⭑.ᐟ It's most likely that he didn't get much affection in his upbringing, so it's practically guaranteed he's going to get all that needed affection back from you. Surprisingly gives great hugs, and could spend hours with his arms around you and vice versa.
⭑.ᐟ Cuddling is favorable to him, as he doesn't move much in his sleep. He picks a position and stays like that the other night, you'd almost think he was dead if not for his steady breathing. His arms around you are tight but not restricting, so even if you move a lot in your sleep you'll probably still wake up in his arms.
⭑.ᐟ Kisses are practically sacred to him, and he cherishes any you give to him. Definitely the type of man to kiss the back of your hand in a playful manner, just to see you blush a little at such a gentlemanly action.
⭑.ᐟ PDA is usually decided on who's around. Kali being in the room means he'll most likely hold off a lot more than if, say, Grim was in the room instead. If someone's somewhat comfortable with is in the room, he allows himself to wrap his arm around your shoulders and lean on as he talks or listens to whoever's talking. A little kiss pressed on your face is he or you have to go.
⭑.ᐟ Hand holding is almost always occuring. He likes the intimacy of it, how he and you can communicate without words. He lets you drag him around by his hand while you're both on a date or just out. At night he likes holding your hand if he's spooning. While sitting next to each other he grabs your hand and rests it on his lap, driving means his hand is in your lap while he's got the other on the wheel.
⭑.ᐟ Can't cook to save his life, but that means nothing when he's got plenty of funds to buy you whatever take out you want. Or even a private chef should you feel fancy. If you insist that he makes you something, the best he can make is a semi-burnt breakfast that doesn't taste like much. It's the thought that counts.
⭑.ᐟ Enjoys buying things for you, which goes hand in hand with the gift giving. He sees something you'd like? Bought. You're on a date and something catches your eye? Bought. You see something and send it to him to show him how nice it is? He's already sending you the money. Go on and treat yourself, he loves it. Absolutely the guy to pay for your nails and hair, should you be someone that gets them done.
⭑.ᐟ Additionally, he would love helping you pick colors and designs for your nails. Again, if you get them done. And yes, he will make a joke at least once about you getting his tip color painted on. It's up to you if you do it or not.
⭑.ᐟ Has, and will, use his height against you. Should you be shorter than him (6'2") he teases about it, just a little. The occasional holding an item above your reach or using you as an arm rest happens. Not too often, just when he's in a silly mood.
⭑.ᐟ At least once in your relationship, he will do that thing where he slow dances with you in the living room or kitchen. On a rainy night, most likely after an at home date. It's cheesey, he knows, but he wanted to do it at least once. Depending on how much you like it, it'll become a regular occurrence.
⭑.ᐟ Realistically, he wouldn't propose or get married to you. As much as he loves you, he is very involved in his line of work, and knows if you were to get married his absence would be harder than it already is. He would love nothing more than to call you his spouse/wife/husband, but he doesn't want to risk anything. If you insist on something, he'll get you a promise ring or a piece of jewelry, a testament to his undying love, even if you aren't married.
