something something Robert Irwin...
So what if I've been obsessed w/ Robert Irwin since the Bonds underwear campaign??? What then???
Not proof read and also I have never posted my writing on Tumblr. be SO nice
Dating Robert Headcanons:
He def met you at the zoo
You were just visiting, and he caught your eye, but he couldn't get the courage to directly talk to you in front of the crowd
After the show, he gets your number quickly before running off to the next show
You're literally not even sure it happened, it may have been a hallucination
A couple days later and you guys are already planning a date
He has to work a lot so you come by after hours and hang out with him and some of the more docile animals
He is supposed to be working but you two get so caught up in conversation that he doesn't get much done.
You don't know much about him beyond the internet persona so it's nice to get to know him
He's so sweet, as you would expect, but a little more bold than you anticipated. You're surprised when he puts the moves on you and kisses you on the first date
(news flash he makes your knees weak)
Flash forward and he is paying for you to fly to Australia and visit the zoo like every two weeks
You two have still managed to keep it under wraps from the press
However, he wants to go out in public with you and take you on a real date (without the animal audience)
Your first "real" date is dinner at a nice restaurant, where he gets a secluded table so you don't get attention from the other patrons
When you tell him you don't have the right attire for a Michelin-star restaurant, he sends you money to get something nice :)
He is shockingly quite smooth, as mentioned earlier- compliments you softly all night, keeps his hand on your lower back to guide you through the restaurant, makes sure you get whatever you want for dinner
Between the wine you two ordered and his flirting you get very warm
He's sitting next to you in the booth and you can feel the heat from his body-- its just so UGH
After you've eaten, he leans back and pulls you into him and you can feel how strong his arms are wrapped around your tummy
Its so lovely
Unfortunately you DO get papped that night and suddenly your Instagram is overflowing with people requesting to follow you
Of course the immediate response from everyone is that you're not pretty enough - because you're a WOMAN dating a MALE CELEB so obviously everyone has to be a bitch about it
BUT Robert is so quick to reassure you and is always affirming how beautiful and sexy you are. He is so quick to delete hateful comments on his Insta or TikTok, and he blocks those haters with a quickness.
If anything he seems more excited about the relationship since it got leaked. Like now he can take you out, wine and dine you
You are a regular guest at the zoo, only now you have to stay behind the scenes to avoid the publicity (since you're still not really thrilled about being recognized in public)
Anyways he spends a lot less time at work with you around let's just say that.
He is very happy to spend all day in bed with you (whether doing stuff OR just existing and holding each other)
The first time he says he loves you is on a boat off of South Africa. He's there for work but you're there for a couple days to visit him.
You are just reading on one of the chaise lounges, readjusting because the sun is in your eyes when all of the sudden-- he says he loves you???
And you're temporarily stunned but then he says it again and you realize this is your turn and so
You get a bit choked up and can't talk for a sec and he gets REAL worried, but then
"oh my god, I love you so much. I can't believe you love me! Holy shit, you love me!"
And all of the sudden you're up and pacing around the boat because this is all very exciting but he just comes up behind you and wraps his arms around you, pressing kisses into the side of your neck.
Butterflies butterflies butterflies (and crocodiles) <3
