⋆✴︎˚｡⋆ Charlie Dalton SFW Alphabet (pt.1)
You guys are OBSESSEDD with him so I gotta give it to you straight up. I see Charl as a big, advocative character so that's how I wrote him in my version.
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
Charlie's childhood wasn't devoid of physical or emotional contact — his father was always working, and his mother, though she tried, was a traditionalist. He developed a hunger for it. He grew to become fiery, insistent. He knows the need for justice when he sees it — and this is even more amplified when he got older.
Enter; you. You're everything he's ever wanted — everything he wasn't allowed to have, and his parents gave him all that was available in their bank. It boggled his mind how something inside of him could experience a feeling so fragile, so vulnerable. It pushed him to man up and decide. You were priceless, he determined — to not be affectionate with you is an opportunity missed. For someone like Charlie, that is one opportunity too much.
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
Protective, affectionate, and way too close. You doubted if you really were just friends, but he isn't the type to bluff. He says what you are.
"I really like you," he'd drawl in nonchalance.
You frowned, "Like? What do you mean, 'like'?"
He shrugged, but you could see his cheeks and ears redden, splotches of bashfulness scattered along his features, "Y'know, as in 'I like you.' I think we should hang about some more, make it official. What do you think?" as he put his arm around your shoulder.
You grinned and snuggled closer. Charlie couldn't take it. He ended up confessing to you in the midst of tears and rain the week after.
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
Cuddling with him is warm, it makes your heart leap out of your chest even after years of being married. He's always so attentive, so present, so... there with you. He'll tuck a strand hair behind your ear and lull out, "My girl, my girl, my girl. What would I do without you?" It's barely audible, but you knew he said it from the thrum of his sternum to the surface of your ear. You understood him, and it was surreal how he knew you so much better still.
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
He does, but he's probably the one who's ironically most hesitant about settling down than his friends.
Charlie loves you, and he wants only the best for you. He has a list of things he could do without a second thought, but getting married isn't one of them. His fear of being his father — soulless, corporate, cold. He doesn't want to, couldn't bare the thought of you morphing into what his mother has become. You were his color, and he was yours. It was unfair how unsure he has got. (cont., read: Fiancee)
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
In 1962, he had a good friend named Simon who went to the same darts place he did. Si was black, but Charlie didn't give a damn. He hung out with him much to others' distaste, loved him like a brother who he never expected to have. Simon spoke of his university, the protests they participated in, and the role he took in them. He explained how the tensions were raising much faster than before, more aggressive and dangerous. Charlie noticed it in the way the other patrons seethed at them.
When Simon told him about the civil rights movement being all around, he fully expected Charlie to walk away and never see him again. Spit on his face, maybe even call the cops. Instead, he offered to join in — bike and all — and voice it to a couple of his buddies. He helped Si reach home before he went back to you more sullen, deep in thought. It never bothered you. Not when your pride for him grew stronger each time.
March that same year, Charlie was kicked out of his parents' home for showing up on television and advocating for those who had less. He couldn't see you, couldn't be with you. He had to let it die down for a number of months before rekindling again.
It was the most daunting two months you've ever endured.
F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
One day, you were sitting under your favorite tree, just a couple miles away from Welton. He kept track of that. He picked you up on his motorcycle and went out with you for the day, starting from the mornings, which wasn't often — but you insisted that the flowers were calling for you, and the sunrise was just as beautiful as the night. He caved. You stopped by to sit with him under the shade after he parked his motorcycle, the autumn leaves cushioning you two under your bum. You shared everything with him, and he talked in the gaps of silence. He liked it. His heart dropped when it dawned on him. You deserve this; you deserve him. Him and everything he could offer. You've been there for him when he was a stupid, arrogant, smug who was making more bad decisions than good — and somehow, he still doubted himself after the change. It was so intense to the point where he felt disgusted he waited that long. He couldn't do it.
He proposed the next week.
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
He stumbled into vulnerability and earnest honesty when he met you. It stole his breath away. He couldn't picture doing anything to you but those with softness, tenderness of heart, and gentleness of touch. He couldn't bare losing you, after all he's lost. After Neil, after what happened with his parents. It took you working together to get him back up and working again, to become a man ready to work and fight for himself and the rights of others.
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
HE LOVES THEMMM he's the type of guy to tug at your hands so they wrap around him tighter when he's riding his motorbike. He wants you close to him, holding him, touching him, cooing to him as if he's the only boy in the world. Charlie thrives on physical touch since I think he got so little of it back home.
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
Loving Charlie feels like eternal youth, it feels like the crush you had when you were sixteen, even when you're reaching sixty-four. He's sprightly, brave, daring, and passionate — he yearns, although he wouldn't admit it, and you're the only one who could quench a thirst he couldn't fulfill.
At one point, he blurred it out when you were having dinner — his eyes doozy from your perfume, drowsy gaze on you with a lazy smirk. Saying it back was the easiest thing you've ever done.
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)
He gets really pissy LOL like before you got together, he'd scribble doodles of the guy being run over by cartoon roadrunners of any of them tried something on you before throwing it their way. He becomes a total nuisance when he's jealous and torture the guy with his antics until he pisses off. After he's matured a bit, he'd even confront them about it — although a nice, possessive hand on your waist usually deters them just enough.
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
He loves to kiss you on the most dramatic settings lol I'm talking about after he rode his bike under the moonlight, while watching the sunset at the pier, near the blooming flowers when spring begun. He is SO dramatic. Sassy man epidemic in good use.
L = Little ones (How are they around children?)
He hates rowdy children. He loves playing with them, babysitting them, listening to them and giving them advice. He's especially soft around baby boys, reminds him of what he could've been had things been different. He can't help but admit how much he loves seeing them run around with their tubby legs, tripping over, and getting straight up again. He might just bring the topic in with you.
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
Lazy, slow, and close. He loves spoiling himself (and you) with extra leisure time, and if that means working at noon hours then so be it. He likes his coffee with sugar and a ton of creamer so he'd be up and going faster if you make it for him. He'd offer to make eggs for you but believe me you... wouldn't want it. It's either too salty, burnt, or your pan somehow bent in half.
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)
You'd love putting skin care on him, fancy creams and ointments. He always makes fun of the French names they have, but his gaze softens when you giggle and pamper him with care. He's just a man.
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
He likes revealing things to you when he knows you'll listen and coo and baby him afterwards. He'd purposefully tell you the story about how he didn't get a teddy bear on his fifth birthday and you'd cave and cup his face and comfort him but it's all a ploy.
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)
Not really. He'd be fired up by other people, but even we've seen him with Cameron and he only punched him after a LONG WHILE of tolerance. He's not aggressive or malicious, he's just assertive.
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
He strikes me as someone who often forgets things LOL not just about you, but generally. The main and only feud you have within your marriage is because he keeps forgetting promises or important dates (even his birthday). You kissed his cheek to avoid him being angry at himself, and ever since then he began post-it-ing everything. Every. Miniscule. Thing. It evolved so much to the point where he has a day for all occasions. (Don't get upset when he randomly gets a cake because it's "Graduation day! It's the day of your elementary graduation, baby," he smirked.
R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
When you rode away from the first dinner at his parents' house. They agreed, at first, to supply you two for the basic necessities during the wedding — but he warned you that they're not at all easy people. Especially since you're not what they expected to see. In short, dinner went awry. He made it all better because he took you for ice cream right after, giving you your favorite flavor as he indulges in his own. Charlie's heart may break when he remembers 5pm that day, but it's comforted by knowing what ensued after 7.

Gerard Pitts SFW Alphabet . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁
Here we go! Feeling inspired to write again, so it's safe for you guys to expect a lot of work coming from me this season God willing ;) enjoy
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
He loves it when you call him names like 'Ger' or 'Gary' because of how ridiculous they are. He'd giggle so badly and try to hold it in, but it'd just come out in a snort and both of you have to shush each other because you can't be caught laughing too loud in public. Gerard (see, funny name) shows his affection and love by being himself around you, and he strives to be someone who you can do the same with too. Being who you are, without compromise, is really the best privilege you could offer to him.
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
Oh when I tell you this boy is so bad at keeping secrets, I mean it. He loves you — he loved you from the start, and he couldn't even hide it. Sometimes he doesn't even try, gives up on it entirely. You insisted you're "just friends," but you always smiled so wide and squealed a happy "Jerry!" with outstretched arms as he caught you with all his ease (and height) as he twirled you around for mid-laughter. After it died down, he sighed — giving into the temptation of brushing your hair back tenderly, his lovesick-shade-of-brown, puppy-dog eyes in a trance. His friends were sick of it and they gagged every time because they knew. But still, to both of you, you were "just friends."
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
HE LOVES IT. Stop. In what world does Gerard (funny name) Pitts does NOT love being cuddled by his "mighty fine" (his words) girl. Look me in the eyes. You're wrong. He's a heavy sleeper though, so he'd snore and whine when you go away too quickly, and he'd also take all the blankets to his side... but if you kiss his cheek so nicely, he'd be sweet and engulf you in a groggy hug that equals a three-layer blanket anyway.
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
He's so bad at cooking, good with cleaning, and amazing at blue-collar tasks. Gerard loves good food, okay — but he loves your food. He likes ordering out as much as the next guy, but he loves the warmth of hearing and smelling your cooking while he buried himself in the garage (or in his words, 'workshop.') You'd never EVER (as he swore) have to call the repairman, the electricity guy, the plumber, the pool boy, or the technician as far as he's concerned. He's got them all hook, line, and sinker. It saves you up on costs too (you pay by kisses.)
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
Nope! I'm seething at you, angsts.
F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
It was the late fifties! With all the era's... obvious flaws aside, men would take any chance to settle down. Gerry (funny name) is not an exception. Your story is as loving as being friends, committing, then loving with each other. It's wonderful.
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
He sees you as his one and only and it's quite difficult to say otherwise. When Ger likes you, he really does. He doesn't think twice, look twice, or reconsider. You're all he wants and it's as simple as that.
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
Far too often. He engulfs you and I mean it. His hugs mean warm lights above a busy, intimate diner — it means you're finally safe, it means he's done enough for his life for it to end up this way, it means everything it ought to say.
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
Far too soon.
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)
Nope! Not at all. You'd have to go through MILES to make this guy jealous. Sometimes you do, and it gets fun, but he can't really stay frustrated for too long since he knows he's all yours and you're the same.
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
He kisses like he misses you, like he's a soldier having drafted into Vietnam not of his own discretion. But it's a duality on when he kisses your cheek, your nose, your chin. Then, he's gentle and playful with the way he shows affection.
L = Little ones (How are they around children?)
FUNNNYYTT so so funny. He's the type to chase them around and roll in the carpet with them and toss them off the bed and play as the scary pirate if they wanted him to. It's almost as if they're the same age. He'd be a great father.
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
Slow, loving and wonderful. He's a family guy so he loves staying home and doing whatever his hobby demands him to do, especially on weekends. You'd make him tea and kiss his head and he lets you sit on his thigh and hold you tight whilst he works. You talk over about your life, and the sun comes up when you're ready.
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)
He's such a sucker for a candlelit dinner and a dance. He's so insufferable with it too — fumbles the whole thing by stepping on your foot and when you say 'ow!,' he rubs your nose to his and giggles along. He's so... tender. It's like you're an aromatherapy candle and he's an easily impressed kid.
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
No, he is OPEN. He loves sharing everything with you, it feels so... close. It's so vulnerable and lovely, and he's never had anyone to tell the things he tells to you. It's safe to say he feels connected through shared secrets.
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)
If you've ever heard someone sigh sharply and look down, and then put their hands on their hips like a disappointed father — that's him. Like, that's the "angriest" you can get him to be. And then he'll still hold you close, kiss your head, and talk about it with you with an easy smile on his face.
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
He does, even when you don't expect him to. It's honestly so surprising, you'd think he'd forget when you told him about the day you lost your ballet recital to another girl in kindergarten, but somehow he showed up with a little music box (that he tweaked himself) and gave it to you with the most smug expression. It's as if he's saying, "I remembered, and you didn't have to remind me."
R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
Just after your engagement, Ger got his Master's in Aerospace Engineering and you graduated from your bachelor's. You took photos in front of his campus, brought him flowers as he bought you a nice cake and gifts (as per usual lol), and after then, he took you to a nice, Italian dinner. The lights were low and warm, and there weren't as many patrons as the weekends did. You talked of a world newer than the present, and what a family you've created for yourselves. He held your hand across the table. You've never felt more beautiful. You believed then that you were the most accomplished woman in Vermont — even, the world.
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
Ger doesn't really like you going out on your own. He has a car — worked for it, bought it with his own, hard-earned money. Saved up for a secure, safe home for both of you. He hates to think of you having to risk yourself in the face of the public (as if you were royalty themselves.) He'd just... prefer it if he Tok you. Then he could keep his eyes on you, open the door for you, and treat you nicely until you both went home. He knows no one could do it better than he does.
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
A lot. It just feels fulfilling to him. You're his responsibility; his to be kind to, his to love, his to pamper. It's a privilege he didn't know he could experience, so he'd try the best to make it worth his wait and effort.
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
He... is far too eager in eating your cooking. Sometimes he insists that you make his lunch because "the deli's sandwich just doesn't taste the same." Ger would please so prettily and tug on your arm and kiss your cheek, just because he wants another taste of the lasagna you packed so generously to him for yesterday's meal. He lives showing it off to his coworkers at the lab or workshop and having them hoot and holler at him for it. He'd feel quite smug seeing your handwriting on the note while his buds are their bland coleslaw salads.
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
Not really. He loves the occasional flat-top renewal, a bit of hair gel here and there, maybe even moisturizer (you told him to get some), but he doesn't pride himself over his appearance. Once he's adulted more, he'd get a degree (or multiple) he's quite proud of, and he'd like for you (and others) to find value in him for his efforts and hard work. Looks are easy, washed out. He's not that kinda guy. Unless you compliment him really nicely, then his chest swells up a bit.
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
He'd feel as if there's something missing, as you have given essence in the color of his life — but he'd still be a man. Hollow and aching, but a man. Maybe half. But definitely not whole.
X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)
Once he got older, he starts wearing these square-ish glasses that make him look like a physics teacher and it drives you nuts each time you see him with it because he's so tall...and broad ..and suddenly! Glasses! What the heck.
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)
Materialism. Believe me he provides for both of you, but they're laced with the intention of gifting or making you feel loved instead of the money itself. He can't love someone whose sole purpose in life is to consume. Ger's a giver, and it's only fair that he gets given too.
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)
Snoring. Extremely loud, and he cushions you beneath his weight. He thinks of you as a pillow no one but him can hold.
The long awaited content for your favorite, morally grey redhead! This is dedicated for my Cameron girlies sitting in the corner, waiting for content. I've got u.
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
This is so cute because he's like... the opposite of Neil. He doesn't show affection too overtly, okay, I'm sorry. But you know what he does?
Richard has this thing where he makes sure your needs are taken care of. Often times, he slips on your shoes for you while you sit on the bed, and even kisses your ankle like a sweet oath before putting it on. But you have to pretend you didn't see or else he'll get bashful and deny it.
He calls Todd a stiff but my God is he one lol. But you find it cute. You don't mind. You like to tease him a lot about it.
He's such a 'but what will they say?' guy to a fault. Obviously. So you pull his arm and whisper real nice to his ear for him to settle down, and you have a talk to him about his problem. He listens, and you comb his hair tenderly.
It ends with him crying against your shoulder. He regrets it all, even after years being out of Welton Prep. It's like he's been doused with a bucket of ice water. He's so glad he's met you.
Richard would've worked himself to death ('m not kidding) had you not been with him. All he needs is for you to put your arms forward and softly call out his name and he'll surrender.
His touches (when in public) probably limit to a hand on your waist or a bit lower to your hips if he's tired, but he absolutely melts when you flirt with him all sweet. He just forgets resolve and does not care anymore — to home you'll go!
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
Honestly, I have to say you two probably met at university at the very least. He isn't the friends to lovers type y'all. If he wants you as his woman, then as his woman you'll be.
That's it. This is who you sign up for.
He'll spot you as "that cute girl across the room" (his words), and he'll begin 'courting' you. Like some wild animal.
But it's alright, he's the traditional type. Almost to a fault. He gives you roses one day, a nice dainty bouquet, and some courtesy chocolates. They're so tart and nice, and you can't help but question the rumors going around about how 'stuffy' and 'rigid' he is.
"Oh, thank you," you beamed, hugging the gifts tightly. He just looks down on you with a proud, half lidded gaze,
"It's no problem, what's not to give?"
He's entranced, girl. LOL.
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
(Don't tell anyone) He LOVES it. So much. Probably relies on them a little bit.
Come on, he's a man deep down alright. He loves being hugged and loved by a beautiful woman and you are the only one he wants.
You probably end up cooing and doting on him a lot because he's so cute. And this might be the right time to tell you he makes BIG money, girl (more on the next letter!)
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down?How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
Okay, hello, this man brings home mighty cash. And he's so stable too.
Fine, in the context of poetry and art, he's an admitted loser at it. But that's only because his values align elsewhere; he's so ready to settle down, be loved by someone he devotes his life to, and treat them as they deserve to be treated.
There's a reason why he comes home at night with exhaustion on his eyelids, and somehow you still get presented with a medium-sized, deep turquoise velvet box that's shaped like a heart. Inside is a lovely necklace with an ornate ruby as the charm.
You kiss him with devotion and say your 'thank you's against his lips. He accepts them, limp with exhaustion. His briefcase plops on the floor as you take his hands. You're so proud of your husband. ଘ(੭◌ˊᵕˋ)੭* ੈ♡‧₊˚
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
He's gentle to you, not so much with himself;
Richard isn't too comfortable with anything below excellent. It's how he's been raised. When you mess up, he takes a deep breath, kisses your head and cleans the mess together with you — in any shape or form.
But when he makes a mistake? He feels like a total screw-up. He doesn't know what to do, he beats hinself up, he scowls and tries harder but he never takes it out on anything — let alone you.
One time, you noticed him being quite hard on himself, and you prepared him a cup of hot tea, some biscuits you made, and massaged his shoulders. He melted against you and cried against your lap.
This man is an anxious mess of someone who always tries their hardest. Reassure him and you'll be great.
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
He's the sweetest, most tender hugger. You feel so safe in his arms, it's like a shield around you.
Richard always has everything — and I mean every little thing — under control; he manages the bills, does the taxes (he prefers doing them for you, but you assure him you'd like to sit by him and accompany him. He's so thankful for this), and he always makes sure you get the best of the best. That's what he promised your father before he married you anyway, and he's big on keeping promises.
He hugs you when you're sad, brushes your stray hair away and kisses your forehead and temples. He lets you sit on his lap facing him, rubs your back, assures you you're his bestest girl and "we're gonna go through this together okay, hun?"
Yeah.
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
Quite slow ^_^ he wants it to mean as much as he values it, and he's a bit more modest with his emotions, so even he has to figure it out first.
But when he pursues you seriously, it'll only take him less than 2 months to profess. He knows what he wants, and he is not looking to waste your time.
He planned the whole thing out; dinner, nice refreshments, then under the moonlight will he tell you about his feelings. He even took note from Keating's lessons, albeit his love-hate relationship with them, and got a bit sentimental with it.
But it was all thrown off the hook when he saw how gorgeous you looked in your dress, all dolled up and ready to see him, smiling sweetly as you took his arm and greeted the night.
He blurted it out before the pasta even got to the table.
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)
Richard would never admit it, but he gets more than a little bit bothered if his old alumni paid a little bit more attention to you than necessary;
They came over to your house, and of course Richard insisted you two serve them your prided jars of homemade cookies and some warm tea.
Charlie probably brags about his stocks being higher than usual or whatever it is business people discuss, and when you came downstairs, all went hurrahs in excitement to see how you're doing.
Once they all had their fair share of greeting you, of course your man had to dish them his classic "alright, alright, guys that's enough! settle down"
Yeah. You like him that way.
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
He does NOT want me to answer this one folks.
He kisses like a promise, like a little secret shared between the two of you. Only you know how truly sweet he can be.
He kisses to taste you, to tenderly encompass you in something that is truly his and yours, to grasp your chin between his thumb and forefinger and whisper something adoring against your lips.
He kisses like he's going to be there with you forever, like time stops and nothing else matters in this world. He knows you're his world, his globe, his life, all the essence that keeps him rejuvenated.
He needs you.
L = Little ones (How are they around children?)
Awkwardly sweet. He doesn't know what to do with his hands.
Say, you're supposed to babysit your best friend's son for the day, and for some reason he keeps babbling specifically for Richard.
You just stir his food on the stove and casually ask your husband to 'please watch over the baby, dear.'
He ends up reading a sports almanac for the tot.
Don't be mad at him, in his eyes it's genuine effort. And it keeps the baby occupied and entertained!
When the baby falls asleep after all is done, Richard smirks proudly at you.
'Ready to be a father,' he boasted, snaking an arm to your waist and leaning down to give you a kiss.
Lol.
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
He's a groggy guy, but he'll wake up early before the first bird even gets to chirp.
Richard kisses your temple, tucks you further in the blanket, slip into his robe and slippers and spends his time downstairs, on the porch.
He watches the neighbors go by on their bikes or on their daily stroll and smokes his pipe, polishing it with his satin handkerchief before and after each use.
Then he'll probably make you some pancakes (which lacked in sugar, so it just tasted like wheat) and diligently added a heap of blueberries and maple syrup on top.
You ate it together.
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)
He is exhausted. The only leisure day for him is Saturday, so he'd prefer his nights then to be uninterrupted.
You'll run him (or both of you) a bath, and soak there before spending it in front of the fireplace. If it's Sunday, then he'll do his due work with the papers, pens, and manila files strewn across the carpet and coffee table. But if it's Saturday, then he'll just have an arm around your shoulder and discuss your next date out.
He has a scheduled life, okay. And you respect it (and find it attractive) 👀
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
AWWWWWWW If you've actually seen him, you'll know how sensitive he is.
From the beginning, he likes to talk about you, and he loves it when you talk about yourself. But when you asked about him, he nervously stammered.
He couldn't believe a girl as gorgeous as you could care so much about someone like him. It's impossible! he thought, but you beg to differ.
The more you spend time with one another, the more you knew about him. Richard told you about his mother, how he used to help her knit when his father's not home. He also spoke somewhat lovingly about his old man, how he used to take him to his work to learn all about the industry, even when he was small. But he also told you about how much pressure he faced when he was younger, how difficult it is to keep up with the others.
But he never, ever complains. Especially not when you smile so brightly each time he brings home something he bought on his own, or when he sees how beautifully you've decorated and maintained the home he's bought for the both of you.
He would never, ever think of trading his life with another. Not a chance.
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)
He's a grumpy little baby, according to you. Never with others, just with you. His girl.
He would never openly admit if he's struggling or frustrated with something, unless you're there; then it's all "Aw, honey, I nicked my finger :((" or
"Man! I was excited for that game. Now it's all bull," and plops on your lap.
You just giggle and brush his hair back, kissing his forehead. Then he melts into your touch and you realize it was all a ruse.
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
Honestly, he's like a basic man, besides the fact that he stores every single thing he knows about you in his organizer.
Yes, he has a book dedicated for data inputting. That's Richard Cameron for ya.
He puts in your birth date, your favorite color, your favorite fabric, your favorite dress outlines and even ones he loves most on you, the spendings he's put out for you and planning for what's next (a.k.a. a section dedicated for you only).
Self explanatory.
R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
Awwww he loved it when he took you to his parents' house and after (the very intense) dinner, you two sat on his doorstep and just... talked.
He held your fingers since they were freezing from the autumn cold, and you heave cold breaths against his blazer.
None of you wanted to go inside. He was giggling happily, all kissing your hair and hugging you close.
He wishes he could relive it again.
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
Okay, he is way too protective. It's like?? Your wife won't run or get kidnapped if you leave her side for one second dude you can chill out.
No, I'm so serious he is such a type-A so when you have to be separate from him, you have to be back at the time you tell him, or at least give him a call or a heads-up inbetween or else he'll get all anxious and worried about your wellbeing.
Your presence takes over his life girl </3 please take care of bro
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
A lot. And I mean... a little worryingly so.
He takes things seriously, has a principle that anything in life should be done with utmost excellence or else it's not worth it at all. This bleeds into your relationship in... interesting ways!
He gets you a teddy bear for your first anniversary. No, not those drugstore ones, an actual luxury brand teddy bear with a bejewelled neckline. Yes, its eyes sparkle too. And yes, you loved it.
He also planned a nice dinner with a view and an orchestra singing in the cafe (he aligned your schedules with the timetable the restaurant provided just to be able to see them), and you adored him the rest of the night.
In return, you've gifted him a nice watch with your initials embedded within it. He cried at the restaurant (he just couldn't hold it in) and ended up cuddling your teddy bear until you two got to the car.
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
This is so funny but he'd think you two are possibly the best couple out there in comparison to... like, anyone and everyone.
You've told him not to boast, but his life's hard work is invested in your relationship. It's hard for him not to!
Richard makes sure each time you two go out together that you are feeling your utmost best so he could relax the whole evening and! Well! Pridefully shove your existence to every conversation he can join.
You remind him later that everyone began rolling their eyes, but he shrugged and got some grapes for you two instead.
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
A lot. PLEASEEE did y'all see the GIF where he was joking around with Todd? Richard loves looking his best.
If Neil takes his time on doing house chores, Richard makes sure to put meticulous effort in ironing his shirts, gelling his hair, and even putting his trousers on the neatest he could.
He just knows looks mean everything in a shallow world, okay.
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
YES. Lol.
I know I talked about secure attachment and all that on Neil's post, but with this boy? If you ever leave him, his breath would be taken out of his throat.
He's the sobbing breathless and stutters, struggling to sy how he feels type.
Please take care of yourself. If you ever even fall sick with the slightest fever, he would never leave your bed. And this creates such a moral conflict because he knows he has to work but seeing his darling all red in cold sweat and whimpering in pain leaves his heart aching too much for him to think straight.
He ended up calling out of work. Don't worry, of course he scheduled it ahead. Classic.
X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)
He loves your childhood home. If you still lived there before you got together, once you did, he'd ask to visit you there almost every week.
It gives him a nice sense of optimism about the life you two could build together, and seeing your old pictures on the wall from when you were small tugged a heartstring he didn't even know he had in him.
Also he finds your bed there really snug.
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)
He doesn't like any sense of laziness or sloth.
Richard is... a hard worker, to say the least. He's stable, he's reliable, and he's straightforward. He would be way down if his partner takes advantage of that or worse, refuses to meet him halfway.
He loves your spontaneity, but he also values the stability he could bring. If you two could find a good balance, then he'll find it so much more magical to cruise the waves of your love.
Yes, he calls it that.
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)
He puts in snore blockers, like those clamps on your nose to keep you from snoring.
Richard read an article once or twice about the statistics of people's lives being affected negatively by sleep apnea and he's been shaken ever since.
It's okay, you take it off for him if you wake earlier and kiss him good morning right after.
