may i please request some jax (league of legends) x male reader? maybe just some fluff headcanons/how he shows affection? thank you!!!
I'll do my best as a bot laner absolutely terrified of this man!
Jax shows affection in many ways some a bit more conventional than others. At first, in an attempt to not hurt you, it was head bonks. His face pressed into parts of you be it your stomach when laying down or your hair when standing. As you two grew closer and any need for gentleness faded, you showing numerous times you could absolutely handle just how rough of an individual he is, leading to him being much more unconventional.
Often on long nights during his travels he calls you to spare, claiming that a 'young man' needs to keep himself honed. He's teasing and antagonizing you between blows while also admonishing you for dodging poorly. You may not be as much of a warrior as he is or nearly as old but you aren't unskilled either so while exhausting its not impossible. You are also, of course, used to how he fights. Despite his speed and mobility you know the best tactic is to out run his strikes then close the distance when hes recovering from them himself, that window being small but easy for you. Of course you still aren't really a match for him and are on your ass before you know it, sore and a bit dizzy. This is when he relents and starts walking back to your shared tent, praising you as the only man that could fight him and just end with just a bruise.
He flirts by telling you to fight harder, train harder. Sometimes he asks for you to show him your muscles so he can check your 'progress' when he actually just wants to make sure he hasn't hurt you while training and to check you out. He runs off in battle to take the enemy out himself while you deal with their lackeys, claiming you aren't ready but not ever leaving a gap for you to disprove this baseless claim. He has lost his people, he wont lose you, and he loves when you dote on him after fights.
Outside of fights he nearly always finds a way to touch you or be touched by you. A hand on your back as you walk through Shurima. Arms brushing as you rest in an Ionian bar, Jax glaring at anyone that dares talk to you. One of his favorite ways is throwing his cloak over your head under the guise of keeping you from catching a cold only to comment how cute you look glaring up at him from under it. Nuzzles are exchanged as often as teasing words. Eventually its hard to not wear a piece of his outfit when you're out. He's even started teaching you to hold his staff and how to swing it, hands over yours as he guides you.
You may not exchange kisses or hugs as often as most couples but you know you're loved, Jax makes sure of that between sarcastic jabs and actual praise.
