to First Aid, his love language is little more difficult to pigeonhole. if you were to ask him, he'd probably say he's inclined to all of them, but over time it becomes glaringly obvious that actions speak a lot louder than words with him. his love language is definitely acts of service, because he has a natural tendency not only to assist, but desire to make his s/o's life a little easier. uses phrases such as: "here, allow me," or "please, let me help." but he isn't hovering over your shoulder or overbearing regarding it, he can detect and notice when you need an extra hand or need a break from something. but it's an action that goes both ways, when his s/o does a thoughtful action or a favor for him, he feels the most loved.
picks up little things you do/say. you joke that he's been around you too long when he starts quoting things you've said or adopting habits of yours. he's an observer, he finds comfort in the familiar but isn't opposed to the unknown. First Aid just likes to learn, and based off that, he can't get enough of the media you consume either. tv, music or books- he's fascinated and wants to know more. in contrast of just reading or watching it himself, he prefers your analyzation or retelling, just because he knows your version has a lot more passion and excitement in it.
naps, naps naps. being Chief Medical Officer (CMO), he's likely got a busy schedule and falls into a habit of taking short naps rather than getting a good nights rest, undisturbed. it's an small break that he's actively seeking you out for, and even if both of you are sleeping or you’re wide awake, he still wants you there. sure, he knows he’s bad company in this instance, but it’s the sleepy before and after that makes it worth it. if First Aid can have a moment to catch up with you once throughout the hours it’s much better than waiting until the end of the day, or even the next day. he just wants to see you, and mismatched schedules and sleep hours sometimes prohibits that. more than he’d like to admit.
he is hilarious but doesn’t realize it. he’s partial to say something in a deadpan or mumble sentences under his breath. these airless sentences are uttered mostly for only you to hear, just his own commentary to a movie or conversation. he always finds himself surprised and confused as to why you erupt in a fit of laughter, because he wasn’t his intention to make a joke there. but you must’ve found something funny mixed in his words, and he can't even remember what he said as he watches you laugh so hard your cheeks become rosy. when you praise him to others, you include how funny he is, but to him, it’s more of a “if you say so,” situation. said with a smile and short laugh of his own, not really so sure but willing to humor you, always.
if he has one complaint in your relationship, it’s schedule conflicts. every so often there’s long periods of time where the both of you are apart, and the hours you’re asleep overlap with the hours he’s working. you have responsibilities too- work, school, etc, and in this case scenario I think he'd probably be big on text messages. it's not the ideal way to catch up with you, but for the circumstances permitting, it's the best way to speak to you when he only has moments here and there. one thing is concrete in this relationship, is that he's never too busy for you, and will do everything he can to make it work in the healthiest way possible. First Aid has a relatively sturdy work/life balance, but there's always situations beyond his control that cause some variance. his s/o is understanding of that, and it provides him utmost solace, working continuously to ensure that the balance is never tipped.
