Just a few @gendryw4ters x Eugene Roe head-canons, to thank her for being so sweet and supportive while I’ve complained these last couple of days. Thank you, Niamh!
People had better get your name right in his presence or at least try. He’s a good ol’ fashioned boy with the manners to match and he just finds it disrespectful to you, if they just don’t try.
You scare the hell out of him every time you decide to purposely slide across floors. He has visions of you falling onto you face and ending up with a bloody nose. Everyone finds it hilarious to watch him chase after you.
Sleeping with Eugene either goes two ways. He’s use to having his space, so sometimes all he’ll do is hold your hand with a little bit of space between your bodies. Other times, he has to have you close, real close, your head cocooned on his chest.
He really, really doesn’t get your fascination with his accent. In fact he’ll blush if you ever bring it up. He likes the fact you like his voice though and it encourages him to talk more than perhaps he usually would.
For some reason, whenever Eugene cooks, he often slips into talking in French. He doesn’t even realise that he’s doing it. It can be a little problematic whenever you’re trying to cook dinner together, but you’re use to it by now and can recognise key words.
Whenever you’re ill, Gene does the utmost he can to look after you. Blankets, soup, making sure you’re taking your medication. He does it all. Sometimes all you want is a hug though and all you have to do is hold out your hands and make grabby motions and he understands.
Gene has about a thousand and one different compliments for you and that’s just in English. He tends to save the compliments in French for more special or intimate occasions, because he knows the effect they have on you.
Gene’s fascinated by your hair. It took a little while for him to get into the habit (at least several months of dating), but one of his favourite ways of showing his affection for you, is to have you sat between his legs as you watch tv together and he can run his fingers through your hair.
Gene prefers to keeps your kisses to the privacy of your own home. Though he will never stop you when you press small kisses to his cheek when you’re out and about and he often returns them by pressing kisses to the back of your hand.
Those proper kisses though, the one where he pours every bit of emotion and commitment he possesses into them, well, no one gets to know about those but you.
He’s protective. Real protective. More than you think he’d might be. He doesn’t like to see you hurt. He’s not an aggressive person by any means and he doesn’t like to fight, but sometimes his emotions get the better of him when it comes to you and he can be surprisingly intimidating. (C’mon, we all remember ‘You’re officers. You outta know!’, don’t we?)
He gets embarrassed though after calling someone out on their behaviour, even if he doesn’t regret it. You barely notice, you’re too busy swooning at his uncharacteristic behaviour, which when he notices, secretly fills him with a little bit of pride.
Thinking about the future:
He gets this ridiculously sweet smile on his face, whenever you talk about the kids you work with. He loves hearing about them and your day. And if his mind ever wonders to a possible future involving kids… well he doesn’t tell you quite yet, but he definitely thinks about it.
When he proposes, it’s no run-of-the-mill, flashy ring that he proposes with. That’s not his style. It will likely be a ring that’s been passed down for generations or something that has a real history/meaning behind it.
