i'm in such phoenix brainrot riki i need you to write whatever is/was on your mind about him, some hcs, fics, whatever! just pure fluff
HII im info dumping stuff about phoenix that is definitely 100% canon since u said u didn't mind teehee. will also be a good way to be me back into writing muah so sorry
do NOT give this man gifts if thats ur love language. or do, but just be warned. he will use or wear whatever you give him until it becomes a hazard.
you got him flowers one time and he wouldn't throw them away until brim got mad and threw them out for him bc they were so so dead.
also in the same vein, he has a t-shirt you got him that's been worn so many times its decrepit. im talking about goodwill would not take it and he refuses to throw it out simply because you got it for him.
contrary to popular belief, he's not a constant supply of energy and will occasionally power down for a bit, but he likes to just.. exist with you. playing video games, reading a book, taking a nap, he doesn't care. he just wants to be around somewhere.
i've said this before somewhere but i do believe he has some sort of control over his body temperature -- not to an unhealthy extent, but he'll definitely be a heating pad or a space heater when you need him to be.
on the contrary, his abilities do go a little... haywire when he's any sort of emotionally unstable. that includes whenever you fluster him. some of his shirts and jackets have fallen victim to your compliments.
definitely a words of affirmation guy, but thats a given to an extent. whats not so much of a given is the gift-giving.
mention one time in passing that you want something and he'll get it for you, no questions asked. you wanted that shirt, but didn't say what color? he's buying you all of them.
he's also a touchy guy but not necessarily in an overly affectionate way, more so just a 'i want to be close' way. usually, that just looks like him throwing an arm over the back of the couch when you're next to him, or sitting so that his leg touches yours at dinner, or standing close enough that your hands barely touch at debriefs.
also a dog person but if ur not he can compromise by gasping over-dramatically and pointing at all the dogs in public when you're out together sigh
