Sal Fisher Fluff Alphabet!
Pairing(s): Sal Fisher x Gn!Reader
Art Creds (going left to right) ~ @/pinetre3, @/mawny666, (couldn’t find, let me know if you do)
A - Admiration (what do they absolutely adore about you)
It really depends on you tbh
Like if you’re an artist or musician-
If you have any talents or skills really, just something you’re passionate about
Then I definitely see that as something he’d adore about you
Especially if you’re constantly portraying such talents and draw him stuff, crochet him anything or give him some sort of trinket or gift relating to your skill
It’s either that or your constant willingness to help out with the paranormal
There aren’t many people who would and regardless if you do so with a face of bravery or cowardice, he’d still greatly appreciate it and admire you for it
A - Attention (how much attention do they want in the relationship?)
I’d assume about a good amount?? I mean you’re dating each other so it’s only natural 😭
You see eachother everyday too and most likely hang out in either of your apartment rooms/ houses
As much as I see him liking the attention I also think he’d like some solitude
Not that your attention doesn’t have him flustered and all giddy
Just something to consider I suppose
Plus he’d probably like to give you all the attention as you’re the center of his affections
B - Body (what is their favorite part of your body?)
His favorite part of your body would most likely be your hands
Not for their appearance but because of how often you’d comfort him with them
In school and in class you’d show little affections by intertwining your hands together
When that wasn’t possible you’d link pinkies
At home you used your hand to cradle his face when he revealed it to you-
And you often gently played with his hair with your hands
Now, if you told him you liked a body part of his because of the same reason: the acts of affection done through them, then he’d feel happy you felt the same
But if you also added that you thought this specific body part was hot or attractive then he’d definitely get flustered and laugh awkwardly 😭
Don’t even get him to talk after or he’d probably stutter a bit
B - Boo! (do they scare people? How do they act when scaring you/people?)
Honestly Sal probably gave a few people jump scares when he first started attending school
Half because his prosthetic was unexpected and also because I feel like he just has that energy when standing there 🧍
It was totally unintended too 😭
Overall I don’t really see Sal as a scaring person type
He’d probably join in if you or Larry did but wouldn’t do much but stand by
If it was a bad idea he’d either lightly discourage it or not say anything and watch it happen
If he did manage to scare you for some reason then he’d feel bad
Especially since it was most likely not on purpose and was only cuz you opened the door and weren’t expecting anyone to be on the other side
B - Beauty (what do they admire about their s/o? what do they think is beautiful about them?)
As I mentioned before it really depends on you and your personality traits/passions
If you’re particularly kind or often defend others then that’s something Sal would admire about you
As well as if you were unapologetically yourself, especially when around someone like Travis
Now when it comes to how he views your beauty it’s difficult to explain
The only way I can is when you’re looking at your friend and can’t help admire how beautiful they are
But that’s how he’d see you, there isn’t any particular traits but maybe it’s how you look when your thinking or doing what you love
Maybe how you look when the wind blows through your hair, or even when it’s cold out and your nose is visibly cold
Just little things like that
C - Cuddling (how do they like to cuddle?)
Sal doesn’t have much of a preference more often than not
I mean if you want to be big spoon and him little spoon he’s more than happy to cuddle that why and vice versa
Although I do imagine him liking to cuddle by mutual holding
He liked to be close to you and feels especially safe/warm when you’re really close to eachother this way
It’s nice to cuddle with him too, especially during winter although I do see Sal as one of those people that are cold so even if you’re one of them too-
You’re automatically his new heater
Whether you’re aware of it or not 😭
Sal would probably not be too fond of pda but I think it’s likely he’d huddle with you if it’s the colder months
D - Dates (what does their ideal date with you look like?)
Honestly his ideal date would probably just be the two of you hanging out somewhere, anywhere really
Like you two could just be hanging out in his room, order pizza and get snacks and that would be an ideal date in his mind
As long as he gets to spend time with you, really
If you’d rather do something else like go out shopping, go to an actual restaurant and stuff then he’s more than fine to go along
E - Emotions (how do they express emotion around you?)
Sal is pretty open all around
He’s never been one to shy away from expressing how he feels or be overly self conscious about it
If something is bothering him or just stressing him out he’s likely to communicate that with you
Although he’s pretty open I’d imagine he might not let you know how he’s feeling all the time
Especially if you’re particularly stressed then he wouldn’t want to add onto that stress with something else to worry about: him
Honestly he’d probably realize pretty quickly by being snapped back to reality by you or another factor and realize he should just let you know how he feels
It’s just for the sake of good communication and not ruining your relationship
E - Equal (do they prefer to be more in control or laid-back in the relationship?)
It really depends on you, like many of the other prompts 😭
If you want to be more in control in the relationship then sals more than happy to let you be
Same if you’d want to be laid back
Honestly Sal would probably be more laid back regardless of how you are
As long as you’re both equals and communicate effectively the dynamic you two have isn’t really a concern
F - Future (What are their plans for the future? Do they see themselves getting married, having kids?)
Sal never really thought of marriage, kids or anything of the sort
School wise he only ever thought of graduating, never anything after
When you two start dating and getting closer he might think briefly of marriage but that’s as far as it goes
Anything that happens from then on is not because of his plans but the course of events that just happens to follow
If you two get married that’s something you both ended up deciding is best
F - Forgiving (If they had a fight with their partner(s), how would they apologize? Or would they be petty about it?)
Sal would probably need some space from the whole thing
He isn’t one to get upset or overly angry when arguing, at most it’s just a discussion without any heat
On his part at-least, it depends on you and how you handle it
Especially if you “try” to make him mad, it just makes him feel weirded out and want some space
If you’re upset about something he’ll just want you to communicate that with him
He’ll always listen, as long as you do too
So if he did something that hurt you he’d apologize, he wouldn’t be afraid too and he always will
But he’d appreciate that you do the same when you realize a mistake done on your part
G - Gifts (how do they feel about gift giving? What are their habits when it comes to this?)
Sal is always gifting you little things
Maybe little trinkets he finds or even some cool looking acorns or rocks
Though in his opinion these aren’t even gifts, just something small he does on his part
Gradually his gifts get actual “gifty” in his opinion and he starts giving you things you talk about
Obviously taking note of your likes and interests
If you’re a big gift giver then Sal is one to be appreciative but it might also be uncomfortable for him to accept
Not for any particular reason, just the closer you get and casual it is to gift each other stuff, will he be more accepting
G - Gratitude (how grateful are they to have you? what do they think your relationship is worth in comparison to other things in their life?)
Sal is honestly so grateful and him telling you that he loved you even as friends wasn’t uncommon
He’d always let you know how much you meant to him and still does, though telling you he loved you at the beginning of your relationship obviously meant something more
So he’d fluster and hesitate to say it
Because you’re likely one of his oldest friends since he moved to the apartments in the first place, he’ll likely see you as a huge part of his life
You helped out in more ways than he could’ve asked but I think that comparing what you have to anything else in his life is offensive to him in the sense that the amount he loves things are not on the same level as another
Take what you will from this, maybe it’s his weird way of saying that he loves you
G - Gentle (how gentle are they? physically and emotionally)
Sal is literally the gentlest person known to man
He is so kind and attentive that it’s crazy, this of course causes him to somewhat neglect himself and his feelings but that’s a discussion for after this one.
He’ll always be there for you to listen, just make sure to communicate that you’re not in the best mood if you don’t feel like going to a Sal therapy session
Plus, it’s not like it’s all that one sided
We all know how much Sal has through in his life, mixed with the cult, losing his mom, murdering half the apartment residents, and so on so forth in his adult life
Obviously the nightmares that happen depend on what part of his life and your relationship it takes place in, but my point is that you’re there for him just as much as he is there for you
Physically too, at first you would’ve believed him if he told you he was afraid of shattering you
Going purely based off that fact that he acted as though you were glass
Highschool Sal was just that flustered by it and adult Sal isn’t that much different- just faux nonchalant
H - Holding Hands (when/how do they like to hold hands?)
Highschool Sal is filled with immense nervous energy when you try to hold his hand
He isn’t opposed, don’t mistake it for him disliking it, if anything it’s the opposite
He’ll enjoy you trying to hold his hand at any time, even at school
Though depending on your identity and sexuality it might provoke some unseemly comments from the resident closeted gay Travis
Either way, the older you get the more Sal is happy to hold your hand
If you even want to swing your arm and along with that his, he’ll laugh and find it endearing
Might even play along too, you can always hold his hand
H - Hugs (do they like hugs? how often do they do it, and what are they like?)
Sal loves hugs so much but ,again , the younger he is when you start dating the more stiff and unfamiliar he acts
Not that he always is, just that when these acts of affection are done in a romantic context only does he feel flustered
He will eventually be more comfortable, it inevitable. But, even if he’s more towards the awkward beginning stage of your relationship he’ll always hug you back.
Sal will always be open to hugs, he doesn’t really initiate it often because I don’t think that’s his love language
But he is always more than welcoming to affection that you want to give, so it’s more dependent on you
Whether you hug people often or not, that’s how often he will
Excluding you needing to be comforted and when you say goodbye, he always will hug you no exceptions
His hugs are like hugging a pole when you’re in front of others 😭
He’s not too fond of PDA because he’s hyper aware but when he’s not it’s honestly amazing
Especially since cuddling is mostly mutual holding and its just great
I - Injury (how would they act if you got hurt?)
Sal would be so worried if you were to somehow be harmed and this varies on the state of your injury
Like if it’s just a cut on your hand or something he’ll likely give you a bandaid and do something silly as “kiss it better”
If your injury was more extreme like say a broken bone or an even more grotesque injury- he like anyone, would be concerned (understatement)
He’ll immediately try and help you any way and if this warranted a hospital visit or something then he’d try to be there for you
Because him not being able to do anything for you is inevitable, he would have to stand by and just wait- feeling useless
(Even though doing nothing and letting the professionals is helping you)
I- I love you (how fast would they say ‘i love you’?)
Sal would probably either tell you he loved you immediately or wait for the longest time
During Highschool, Sal is just new to romance and likely as told you that he loved you when you were friends
So, because of a slip up and because of how much affection he held for you, he accidentally slipped up and told you he loved you
You two were probably just chilling in his room hanging out like usual and after that is just pure silence
He slowly looks at you and then what happens next is dependent on how you react
If you tell him you also loved him, with an romantic undertone he’d flush but not argue because believe it or not
Now the next is him waiting a long time, well I lied
There is no world where he’d take a long ass time because he either blurts it out when you’re about to kiss or something, Larry teases him about it and tells you for him (on accident) or something else ensues
Either way if he tried to hold it in he’d probably burst from it
J - Jokes (do they like to joke around with or prank you? how?)
Sal isn’t actively trying to pull pranks or harsh jokes
That’s just not how he is, but he will tease and shoot back a playful insult or two depending on you
If you’re the type to push people when you laugh or are just playful then he’ll always go along with it even if it isn’t how he is
Despite this, he occasionally has the mischievous urge to participate in a harmless prank here and there
Nothing more because that’s just not how he is, I really can’t say anything else
J - Jealousy (what makes them jealous? what are they like when they’re jealous?)
Honestly Sal is not really a jealous guy whatsoever
He’s secure in your relationship and is honestly pretty chill
As long as you tell him you’re only into him and only will be then that’s good enough for him
Honestly it’s sort of unnerving
I guess the only instance I can see it is when he’s new to the relationship, even then you guys were likely friends before so why wouldn’t he trust you?
K - Kisses (what are their kisses like? who kissed who first? where do they like to kiss you?how do they like to kiss you?)
Sal could either be the one to initiate your first kiss or not
Leaning to not just because of his hesitance to any affection done in a romantic context
Again, even then he’ll be more than happy to let you kiss him
He isn’t shy to let you know when or if he gets uncomfortable or if you’ve breached his boundaries
The first time you two kissed was likely back in high school
It was done after you two hung with a crowd of your friends and loved ones and finally got time to spend alone
Likely at a park or even in Sals room
You don’t know what possessed you to but maybe it was the already tension filled air that caused you to silently ask Sal before leaning in and kissing him
He’s honestly flushed from head to toe and just stares (?) at you afterwards because of how much he refuses to even test much less trust his voice
It was shocking to him since this was the few times he didn’t have his mask on (in room) and you probably only kissed his cheek with his mask still on
Sals kisses are usually on your cheek or forehead
It’s mostly because that’s a pretty tame and surface level of affection and most times it’s when you’re sleeping or resting on his lap
When you’re in public you hardly have any chance to actually kiss since he has his mask on, so as weird or silly it may seem he’ll let out a small laugh if you kiss him with it on
Mostly just goes with how you like to kiss too, otherwise small pecks on the lips and other places like your cheeks and forehead are for him.
L - Love (how do they show you they love you? What’s their love language?)
Sals love language is definitely somewhere between quality time, gift giving, and words of affirmation
Highschool was the only way you could actively be near each other and Sal loved having classes with you soley because he got to hang out with you
Even then, you guys often hang out outside of school (the whole paranormal cult thing) and by also just having been living in the apartments at the time
That continues even as adults
Also the reason why you ended up moving in with Sal because he wanted to desperately hang out with you but couldn’t because you were unable to due to jobs, higher education, etc
At least this way you’re able to see each other at the beginning and near the end of the day
Sals gifts and also somewhat can be considered acts of service has always been apparent
Even in high school where he’d love to give you little trinkets (as previously mentioned) and would also be more than happy to help you with things
Literally what is Sal doing if he’s not doing something for you to show you he loves you?
And words of affirmation? He’s always just complimenting you
If you’re into handy things like crocheting, art, any hobbies or skills that you have at all
- Sal is absolutely just complimenting you
It all just comes naturally to Sal so when you tell him how loved you feel by him, he doesn’t really get it but is happy regardless
M - Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
You’re likely just lazing around in his bed with him and once you both wake up you just talk about whatever
Obviously how it goes is dependent on what you have to do for the day (any jobs or responsibilities) but because of Sals nightmares you two often start your mornings earlier than others
Even lazing around gets somewhat tiring and you two are just some rats scurrying around the house before dawn that Larry and Neil end up bringing up
N - Nightmare (what is their worst fear?)
None Sal has no bad traits-
self sacrificial when it comes to you
O - Obvious (How obvious do they make it that they like you?)
Literally Sal would be blushing and stuttering around you when he likes you
Larry is always pushing Sal to talk to you and is always teasing him in a friendly and playful way
Not exactly in a covert way either
Ashley and Todd probably know too and so when you’re in class working in groups they’d probably also bring it up to you
Yknow- just in case Sals crush isn’t obvious enough
Make the first move please it’s slowly killing them and Sal
P - Pet Names (what do they like to call you?)
Pet names would strike Sal down
The cringe /pos and romantic aspect of it all would be too much
If you want to call him a pet name he’d be fine with it but he’s secretly screaming inside
Even as you two mature in your relationship he’d still be flustered by it but not as much as he was by the beginning
P - Patience (how easily do they get angry?)
He doesn’t get mad whatsoever
The most is getting mildly annoyed or inconvenienced, only when directed towards you
If someone else brings a sensitive topic up or insults you then that’s another thing
Even then he’s eerily calm
Q - Quiet (How are the calm, quiet moments with them?)
The calm, quiet moments with Sal are relaxing
There is no pressure to say anything nor is there any need to
Your presence each other is enough and because of that prolonged silence, usually you two stay that way
He will make sure you’re alright occasionally, depending if you seem thirsty or uncomfortable- just asking if you need anything basically
Otherwise, the need to speak is nonexistent
R - Rhythm (what songs reminds you of them?)
Something About You - Eydress & Dent May
Sweet - Cigarettes after Sex
R - Romance (How romantic are they? What are their go-to ways of being romantic?
Sal isn’t romantic, in his opinion
It’s just how he naturally is towards you, which makes it even better
He’s always willing to do chores for you and gift you stuff
Little ways of showing affection
When he’s trying to actually be romantic he’s pretty nervous about it and his usual way of existence is amplified by like a million
He tries to buy you gifts, set up a fancy dinner, honestly anything that you personally enjoy
He just wants to make sure you feel loved
As long as you do then there’s no need to worry
S - Secrets (how open are they with you?)
He’s really open in the sense that he tells you stuff that he’s ready to share
And doesn’t with the information he’s not ready to
Not that’s he’s purposely hiding things from you
So no, he doesn’t have any secrets, just things about him that takes time for him to open up to you about
S - safe (What makes them feel safe and comfortable around you?)
Just the fact that you’re you
You’re his best friend and significant other
Why wouldn’t he feel comfortable and safe with you? Honestly if anything you’re the one of the few people that he genuinely feels calm around
Just from your presence alone
When he wakes up gasping from a nightmare you’re always there
When he’s feeling a bit on edge when going outside to throw the trash- you’re always there
It’s only natural that he begins to associate safety with you when you’re just always there when he’s feeling not his best
S - Security (how protective are they? how would they protect their s/o?)
Not because he doesn’t think you’re capable of protecting or handling yourself
That’s not the reason at all
You’re his significant other and obviously someone he cares deeply about so it’s only natural he’d worry about you
If you weren’t previously involved with the cult or paranormal then he’d attempt to protect you by separating you from it
T - Time (how long did it take you to get together?)
You two likely got to know each other in highschool and we all know how Sal was back then (romance wise)
So even if his crush on you was painfully obvious, it ultimately depended on you
So it could either be you two getting each other immediately or taking awhile
Please get together asap, it’ll be slowing eating at everyone alive
T - Tend (How do they act when you’re hurt or sick, and vice versa?)
Not the best if he’s still a teen since the only times he can see you is by going to your living space
As an adult he significantly improves and would bring you water, cook, and just be there for anything you need
A bonus is that he thinks your still cute even if you look like shit
When he’s sick he doesn’t expect you to focus a lot on him
I mean Larry probably would drop in and bring him stuff like medicine if you didn’t so it wouldn’t be that serious
But if you’re constantly on top of stuff like doing his chores and keeping track of his personal and like social (school, job) stuff then he feels really happy (for the lack of a better word)
T - Tease (how do they tease you?)
It’d probably be an attempt at flirting but end up just with him teasing you
Not that it’s a bad thing or anything because even then he doesn’t do it with bad intentions
Or with any intentions at all
U - Upset (how do they act when you’re upset?)
He brings it up and asks you about it
If you prefer to be given space then he’d be happy to oblige
The same can be said for if you want to be held or bundled up together in his room
It really depends on you because he’s more than happy to respect your boundaries
U - Ugly (what are some bad habits of theirs?)
Can’t really think of any in particular, let me know if you can
V - Vaunt (what are they proud of? Do they like to show you off?)
Sal is proud of many things but not in a flaunty way
He’s pretty humble about his own accomplishments and the most he’d “flaunt” something he did would be just showing off the fact that he beat Larry’s high score on a game or something
Even then it’s only because of the playful and unserious nature of the situation
When it comes to you he’s not really one to show you off either
He’d be proud of you and everything you do
Especially if you have hobbies and skills that you’re passionate about
He just thinks that because your skill is so obvious, it’s only natural that everyone immediately knows
No point in showing off it it’s a well known fact
V - Vanity (how concerned are they with their looks?)
Sal isn’t too concerned with his looks in the sense that looks are everything and he’s overly cautious of how he looks
He does like to look nice at least and achieves that on the minimum
Overall he doesn’t think about it much besides dressing how he wants to express himself
Otherwise I have nothing else to say
W - Warrior (how do they feel about you fighting? Would they fight for you, beside you, etc?)
Because of the cult and paranormal, fighting becomes essential at one point and no longer a choice
Even if he felt like you shouldn’t fight, it wouldn’t matter once your faced with the horrors you need to overcome
Plus, he trusts you enough and knows that you’re well aware of your capabilities
Sal would both fight for you and beside you
He’ll always be there to protect you and seeing as you’re willing to fight the cult, then you’re also always there to protect him
Even then he’d worry for you, and you him
Which he for some reason is shocked by
W - Wild card (random relationship headcanon!)
Not liking Gizmo is a huge deal breaker
And not liking his friends or willing to be around them to some extent is one too
X - X-Ray (how well are they able to read you?)
He’s able to read you eerily well
He’ll always be able to tell how you’re feeling and especially if you’re upset
Which helps him be his caring self and help you out
The same goes for him, he’s so obvious when he’s upset or feeling a negative emotion
It’s written all over his face and oddly silent self
He’s so oblivious to the fact that its obvious that he’s surprised that you notice 😭
X - XO (How do they show you affection? How much PDA are they willing to show?)
Sal shows you affection in the obvious ways
He hugs you, cuddles you, kisses you, etc etc
He isn’t one to shy away when giving you affection but he does get a bit flustered, that doesn’t deter him either way
When it comes to pda Sal isn’t exactly jumping at the opportunity to be making out 💀
He isn’t one of those people and most certainly doesn’t want to be that overly affectionate couple that’s outright gross
He will hug you and hold your hand but that’s really it
He feels a bit awkward otherwise 😭
When you guys were in highschool you’d hold pinkies rather than hands at most snd occasionally hug in public
Kissing was too much for Sal at the time
Y - Yearn (What do they do when they miss you?)
When Sal is missing you he spends a good amount of time looking at stuff you’ve given him (necklaces, drawings, etc)
If it’s easily accessible then he’d probably chill in your room for a good while before doing something else
Other than that it’s mostly in how he’s feeling
Especially if you’ve built a routine with him then he feels especially sad and misses you
Once you return from a trip or simple outing he’d let you know how he missed you
Z- Zzz (How do they act when they get sleepy? How is it sleeping in the same bed?)
When sals sleeping he can hold out on sleeping for awhile but then it’s lights out 💀
Don’t ask for anything more and he’ll just knock out if he’s especially tired
Most nights he’s not too tired when he decides to go to bed tho so the occurrence isn’t that often
When sleeping in the same bed as Sal he’s honestly a pretty good sleeper
Even in his sleep he’s considerate and you never have problems sharing blankets or space
The only time either of you would ever fall off would be if your own accords (in which Sal probably has)
I mean most times you’re cuddling so there’s no issues there, especially if it’s cold
The only problem is when it’s summer and it gets hot, otherwise sleeping with Sal is enjoyable.
