DLS Characters and their love languages! (BONUS) Vlad and Leo (poly route) <3
(Vlad - physical touch, Leo - acts of service)
- The three of them consider themselves quite the team, seamlessly giving and taking but it wasn’t all that easy in the start.
- Like once when Laia absentmindedly gave Leo a head scratch instead of Vlad and Leo had to remind her his daily scheduled dose of ‘Laia love’ isn't until later.
- Laia then quickly realising her mistake, scampers away to look for her other love lest he feel neglected while reminding Leo she will be back later for his scheduled ‘daily gossip dish’ while they do the dishes.
- When Leo and Laia have their ‘daily dish’ session, Vlad subtly listens in from where he sits in the living room hearing for signs on whether or not he needs to use any intimidation tactics on those who offended the two dearest people in his life.
- As more time passes, they eventually get better at recognising each others needs and soon find no need for schedules.
- Once Cathy enters her busy teenager phase, she often ends up unavailable to take the puppy for walks and Leo being the doting brother that he is volunteers to take the puppy on walks instead despite being no less busy himself.
- Vlad gets to know about the arrangement and immediately volunteers to take the puppy for walks instead
- The arrangement works well, Vlad gets to spend time with the puppy who absolutely adores him btw and occasionally when Laia and Leo are free, they get to take evening walks in the park together. Talking about everything or sometimes simply walking in comfortable silence.
- However, the puppy ends up getting so attached to Vlad it refuses to go home with Cathy which breaks her heart.
- Until the ever strategic Noe gets her a guinea pig and the puppy gets to go home to Vlad.
- Leo and Laia love to tease Vlad that he loves the puppy more than them to which he goes off on a tangent about how the love he feels for the puppy is different from the love he feels for them.
- They obviously know that but watching him speak on a subject so silly is extremely endearing and they can’t help it.
- With Vlad’s mentoring, Leo actually becomes quite the decent cook. They try to teach Laia who instantly gets frustrated.
- “We really don't need so many spices, why are there so many??”
- “That pan has something against me, there’s no reason for it to burn my food EVERY TIME”
- “I swear I can see it smirk and after everything that’s happened, a pan holding a grudge against me doesn't seem that crazy boys. You have got to believe me!”
- Vlad and Leo obviously expected this reaction and have a great plan under their sleeves.
- They turn their charm on!
- Heaping Laia with compliments every time she does good in her cooking journey
- Leo’s a natural, he compliments like it's his sole purpose in life.
- Vlad however needs some tuning before he gets it
- “Laia you marvellous being, you look as hot as the pan in that apron. Look at you go! Never seen anyone look this pretty while they cook”
- “Um yes Laia, your onions look perfectly browned indeed. Y-you’re also really pretty, that apron absolutely becomes you, yes yes it does…”
- IT SURPRISINGLY WORKS
- Until Laia gets overconfident…
- It's an absolutely hilarious sight
- “ Oh boys, I know I'm good, I know I'm good. Look at that salt sprinkling method. Salt bae who?? I only know Laia bae, get it guys?”
- Leo struggles to keep a straight face, his facade almost breaking every two seconds as Laia continues to ramble on.
- Poor Vlad on the other hand doesn't get a single reference and just happily nods along to whatever she says.
- One day, Leo finds a movie on the Ottoman empire and picks it for their Friday movie nights unbeknownst to Laia and Vlad.
- They sit on the couch with Vlad in the middle, Leo and Laia on his sides.
- They put him in the middle because they claim, “He needs the most snuggles to make up for all the lost time”.
- Vlad loves it but of course never admits it.
- They start the movie and of course Laia and Vlad are immediately puzzled
- Imagine that Leonardo Dicaprio pointing at the tv meme, yep that's exactly what's happening at that moment.
- While Leo initially played the movie as a joke, they all end up getting pretty into it.
- Vlad whispers a silent “not true…” every two minutes
- Laia nods off halfway into the movie and they gently move her to the bed.
- Leo and Vlad, who aren't that sleepy, decide to finish the movie for the fun of it.
- Leo who’s now feeling cheeky (and a little flirty) decides to do that discreet yawn placement of hand thing that he always saw in movies
- It doesn't escape Vlad who looks at Leo puzzled
- “You know I am dating you right? You’re free to put your arm on my shoulder even if you just feel like it. I quite like it actually”
“Oh I know, I just thought you'd like the change it was supposed to be cute…” and with this Leo moves to remove his hand, feeling slightly disappointed
- Vlad however immediately moves to stop his hand from moving and holds it there
- “I never said I didn't like it…just wanted you to know you could hug me whenever, I-I really appreciate it”
- Vlad’s lucky the room is dark because by now he has a full blown blush on his face and he would sooner eat dog food than admit he likes the cheesy antics of his partners.
- Leo can't stop the wide smile that’s spreading across his face and he pulls Vlad in closer before settling in for the movie again.
- The both of them feel comfortable and safe in each other’s embrace, happy and in love but most importantly appreciating everything they do for each other and Laia.
- (bonus) Laia stumbles out a little while later half asleep and complaining that they left her out of the snuggles before somehow finding her way into the snuggle.
