— weaving flower crowns with SILVER in the forest behind campus while he lays his head in your lap. or rather, you weave flower crowns while he dozes in and out of dreams of you and a blissful life. do wake him up, though, won't you? he’d hate to miss out on real time to be spent with you. you bring that out of him; the ability to wake up easy and stay up, that is. sure, he can dream a little dream that might make him warm inside, but does it really compare to the real you? the one sitting right next to him with a gentle smile and lack of judgment? he values your patience and love more than anything, and he knows that he should make it known. his dreams could become a reality later, in the current moment, he’s focused on you in the here and now.
— RIDDLE is a bit of a stickler when it comes to following recipes to the T.. but baking with him is still a comfort after dragging him from whatever work he’d buried himself in. it's even more fun when you smear flour on his nose and get to watch his face flush an adorable hue of pink. sure, he’s strict on himself and others, but ever since you came around he’s been more lenient and he really appreciates you for that. besides, which rules says he can't have fun with his lover? a little playfulness never bent the rules, and even if it did, riddle didn’t mind turning a blind eye. you might have to introduce riddle to parsmore, because, darling you are the only exception when it comes to heartslabyul’s housewarden.
— he’s certainly a busy man, but AZUL loves seeing you perched on his desk while he shuffles through forms and papers. knowing you're there, chatting about your day or latest interest and swinging your legs over the edge of the desk even when he can't give you as much attention as you deserve makes his heart flutter. maybe he's caught up in paperwork. the lounge truly has been booming with business lately, and he really needs to finish going through these bills here, and those contracts there, and– oh but, how can he do that when you're sitting less than a yard away from him? the least he can do is listen to you talk and talk, what sort of lover would he be if he didn't?
— it's hard to keep your hands to yourself when JACK has such soft hair. he won't admit it, but his tail wags vehemently the moment your fingers begin to card through the thick, silver-white locks. he tries to be calm and collected, but he can't help it but sigh into your touch. oh, but don’t even think about saying anything about the way his ears flatten for you to continue, or the way his tail is wagging fast enough to power a plane. just don't! that reaction is saved for you and you only. wolves mate for life and jack is sure that you're that person for him, which is why you get to be privy to his less-than-stoic reactions. only you get to draw them out and only you get to witness them.
— ACE is a shithead; he loves to tease you. often he’ll tap your left shoulder and pop up on your right, or offer you a kiss and swerve it. one thing he’ll never admit to enjoying, though, is when you do it back. it’s like a love language, he’ll tease you, and pretend to get annoyed when you offer him a bite of your food just to swerve and eat it yourself, mischievous grin on your lips as you munch on the spoonful contentedly. he’ll gaze at you fondly all while calling you a “greedy jerk.” you're his greedy jerk though. ace loves his partner in crime and despite what he says, he truly wouldn't have it any other way.
— on that note, LILIA absolutely adores the utterly horrified shriek you give out when he materializes in front of you. it never gets old! he’ll tap your shoulder and disappear, giggling when you do four comical turns trying to figure out who tapped you. he especially loves to appear in front of you, upside down as per usual, and press a chaste kiss to your lips or nose. (you’ll have to tell him the tale of that superhero in your world who kisses his partner a similar spider, not batty way.) he never truly scares you: he wouldn't dream of doing something to actually hurt you, but he loves the rush and the way your eyes widen for a moment before softening the moment they catch him. the more you look at him with that soft gaze, the more lilia begins to think everything has led him to you.
— whether you have this hair texture or that one, JAMIL loves doing your hair for you. he loves sitting on the edge of your bed, you on the floor between his legs while he braids it, helps with your curl routine, oils your scalp— whatever you need to do to your hair, he is there to do it for you. he’s a strong believer in hair care, and will make sure that he is not the only one with healthy, beautiful hair in your relationship. he enjoys winding down after a shared shower, doing your hair while you ramble, read a book, watch something, or even sit in silence. to him, it’s all about taking care of you and seeing your smile every chance he gets.
— if there was a picture next to the word “gentleman” in the dictionary, it would be one of DEUCE. that man will never let you lift a finger, always respectful, and this is a given. bringing home groceries from sam’s? deuce would rather carry the ten bags alone than have you carry a single one. and he still finds a way to hold the door open for you when you get to ramshackle. why? because he loves you to death and firmly believes that the one he loves should never have to worry about a thing if he’s there to provide and help.
— SEBEK is loud, we know this. though, you bring out this quietness from him that leaves him stumped. in the middle of his rambling, you’ll look up at him, not with any particular glare or face, and he just trails off into silence. bonus points if you take his hand or arm, now he’s silent and flustered. he can sit quietly in your arms just because it's you, if he were in anyone else's presence, he’d be his usual self, shouting about this or that— but with you? you might hear a pleased humming from his body while you hold him, but his mouth is shut.
— as surprising as it may be to some students, FLOYD is a phenomenal cook (when he’s in the mood for it), and he really enjoys giving his shrimpy some dishes to try! he’s very experimental with his dishes and nothing makes him smile more than you do, so why not combine cooking and his favorite person? he’s got you on taste-testing duty while he whips up sweet and savory plates alike. and don’t even think about saying “i’m full” because he doesn’t take no as an answer when it comes to trying the food he makes you. if you turn away from the spoonful he’s offering you, be prepared for whining, pouting, and a tight squeeze.
— it’s known around campus that KALIM is pretty physically affectionate, but that affection is heavily given rather than received. you won’t believe the smile that splits his face when you pull his head into your lap, brushing fingers through his white hair. the brightness of his grin rivals that of the sun’s on the hottest scalding sands’ day. please pepper his face in kisses and please cradle his cheeks, oh, and pretty please hold him like you would something as precious and valuable as the jewels that adorn his fingers and wrists. it makes him feel more than loved, and he’s so, very, inclined to shower you in the same affection moments later.
— you’re one of the few people CATER doesn’t feel forced to smile around. with you he feels secure enough to drop the façade, he feels safe enough to complain and frown, and simply fall into your arms and do nothing. he loves the pretense of a flamboyant date only to follow you to ramshackle and let you hold him until he sighs away all the negativity. he’s often expected to be the mediator or “therapy-friend,” so quiet time with you, even on short occasions, is always something he has no qualms about participating in. as long as you cuddle with him, of course! after all, you’re the connection he’s been wishing for for so long
— now, it's known across his dorm, and maybe even across all of night raven, that TREY is a wondrous baker. not many students, though, know that trey himself is a snack. he knows that though; it's not as if you let him forget. constantly taking bites out of his forearms and biceps has certainly boosted his ego. his usual smirk tugs at his lips the moment he catchers your gaze falling to his arms. it started as a simple mistake, although after the first few times he caught you, he made it a point to roll his sleeves to his elbows, just enough to give the taut muscles there a good pump. is it really that mean of him to like seeing you all but salivate at the sight of him? don't get him started on when you leave marks from the bites you press into his skin, the feeling is akin to being giddy. trey clover being giddy is something only you are privy to.
— similarly to jamil, but on the other side of the hair care coin, LEONA adores having you do his hair. naturally he'll whine and complain about your tugging and styling his curls (i'm a curly head leona truther), but it's clear how much he loves it. sometimes he'll come just to plop down in front of you, head in your lap until you lift it up so you can get started on a new hairstyle you saw on magicam. he’s especially patient with you as well, even when you detangle his hair and accidentally tug too hard on a knot. he prefers to be on the receiving end, but he had no qualms about helping you too. to lions, grooming is a way for mates to establish trust and affection; leona wants you to know that he trusts you. he may be outwardly gruff, but he feels no need to put up that front when it's just you. after all, you're his mate, and leona is no philanderer.
— your relationship is so very paramount to VIL because he finally gets to play the part of a hero. he gets to be there for you and that's an honor he's not very vocal about, but still takes so seriously. yes, he loves getting to do your makeup, hair, or skincare, but even more so, he loves that you come to him for these things. he loves when you open up to him about what's weighing on your shoulders as his fingers rub a cooling serum into your cheeks; his heart literally swells when he gets to help you relax. you're his and as we know, he takes good care of what's his. he knows you're certainly not a damsel in distress, but, oh, do let him take care of you every now and then. even if he makes critiques or lectures you on how to better keep yourself healthy while always running after those hooligans you call friends, he loves you, and those admonishments come straight from his heart. you're important to vil, so let him be your hero.
— it would be cliche to say this man loves you enough to “go outside for you.” he does! don't get me wrong. but it's not as notable as his other feats of love. no, IDIA shroud doesn't just love you enough to face his own discomfort, he loves you to the point of creation. you once mentioned that your hands bag been cramping due to all your note-taking? luckily, your lover happens to be adept in the art of engineering and simply designs writing utensils to fit between your fingers in a way that avoids calluses, cramps, and other inconveniences. that's not the only thing he's built for you, but it's certainly not adequate payment for the way you’ve built him up. your presence motivates him to be better, you motivate him to be better. tinkering around to create something that puts you in a more comfortable position is the least he can do, especially as someone who struggles to find the right words. why stutter and stumble around syllables when he can give you something he put effort and love into?
— male hyenas are at the bottom of the clan hierarchy, they're known to bow and present gifts to potential mates as a show of courtship. RUGGIE… is not much different. now, he’s much too prideful to bow (in public), he is very likely to present gifts to you “just because.” maybe it's a donut he saved for you from lunch, a piece of jewelry he scrounged up the money for after he caught you eyeing it on your date into town, or simply a flower he plucked from the botanical gardens while snuffing out leona. regardless, the hyena loves to see your gaze light up when he hands you the day's present. he doesn't expect anything in return, no, he doesn’t care about that when it comes to you. although, what he does expect in return is affection. pull him in for a kiss on the cheek, or even a quick run of your fingers through his hair has him grinning and leaning into your touch. getting a simple gesture of affection, your saccharine words of gratitude, and even sweeter smile is better than any monetary recompense or tangible reward. after all, you are ruggie’s most precious and valuable gift.
— for someone who hates feeling “dainty,” you sure bring out EPEL’S soft side. he’ll swear up and down to your friend group that he’s a man, and seven’s forbid you call him cute in front of ace. the lavender-haired farmer rivals an auctioneer in the speed of his insistence that he’s not cute. when it's just you and him alone, however.. well, you might be in love with a hypocrite is all. he won’t ever admit it (and don't try getting him to!) but he quite likes to hear you murmur sweet nothings to him. and maybe he likes having you pepper kisses against the apples of his cheeks. oh, and you’ll have to water board this out of him, but, he supposes he doesn't hate being the little spoon. what? a manly man can't enjoy feeling the apple of his eye (you) card their fingers through well-conditioned locks of periwinkle? he can’t relax and let you massage and kiss his knuckles after spending time carving apples? now, you didn’t hear this from me, but it seems epel doesn't exactly mind being in someone’s arms if they're yours.
— a fae prince with the stature of a “monster” is not one many people just bound up to. MALLEUS knows he's not exactly the most approachable student at night raven, but you make him feel seen. he doesn’t feel as if you're only with him because of his status or appearance because when he speaks, you listen. it's true, he has lilia, silver, and sebek, but it's just not the same when it's his family. no one has ever willingly sat with him or asked about his day. not a single soul, until you came along. he sometimes wonders what he did to deserve love like yours whenever you let him ramble. to anyone else, it may seem absurd to see the heir of briar valley chatting up a storm with some random human. however, seeing you actually pay attention and take interest in his prattling makes him want to give you your every desire. this much emotion— he doesn't know what to do with it. he’s never felt the way you make him feel; not lonely is the only way he knows how to put it. and if this is how it feels to have his person, he never wants to be lonely again.
— the hunter becomes the hunted. ROOK is unused to someone being interested in him. he could sneak around all day studying his prey, but when you first asked him if he preferred literature or chemistry, he was taken by was a rare moment of surprise. he’s rarely speechless unless actively stalking, but whenever you turn the subject toward him, you manage to get him quiet if only for a few seconds before the verbose vice-housewarden of pomefiore is back to his usual maundering. rook never realized he might like being on the other end of investigation, but every time you ask him a question about himself, he finds himself getting giddy. he’ll declaim his affection for you and answer whatever you ask of him, in the most poetic way possible. naturally. this is still rook hunt after all. even if you happened to displace his position as the hunt-er. this requires some congratulations, no?
— JADE likes learning new things. when he first met you, he didn't know you were as new as new can get in twisted wonderland. it started as simply asking you about your culture back home. what kind of foods did you eat? what traditional clothing did you wear? what about your language? is it hard to learn? will you teach it to him? he’s already new to land and he’s naturally curious (read: nosy). you can imagine his delight when he finally manages to confess to you. it's not all at once, but whenever something nags at his mind, don’t be surprised when he asks whatever that nagging curiosity is. “do you have eels where you're from.” “yes, jade.” followed by a: “and mushrooms?” “yes, jade.” “i see.” it's a love language of his, really. and let him teach you things too! he likes seeing your confused face when you come across new twisted wonderland terminology, or anything culture related, too. he likes to explain things to you— not in a mansplaining gross way, but in the way that he studies you as he feeds you information, watching your face shift from confusion to satisfaction at your own newfound knowledge. have i mentioned he likes your face? because of all things he’s learned, the shapes and details of your face is his favorite.
