the little things you absolutely love about robert robertson iii <3
gn!reader. reader is said to work at SDN.
how unintentionally expressive robert is. more specifically, how expressive he is with his eyes. he can’t help it when they speak before he even gets the chance to process what he’s feeling. they’re one of your biggest weaknesses, actually. just one look at those big brown eyes and you’re already folding. like, yeah. whatever you say, beautiful.
the way robert mutters sweet nothings into your ear whenever he’s half asleep. he could whisper “i love you” fifty times while you two are cuddling with entangled limbs and wouldn’t even realize it. not that you mind though.
how warm robert’s body runs. maybe not so enjoyable in the summer, but during the winter it’s definitely a lifesaver. bonus if you’re someone who’s always cold. he’s like your own personal heater.
the sluttiness smallness of robert’s waist. his waist is just so graspable. you can’t resist wrapping your hands/arms around it. we all know he’s definitely lost a ton of weight and muscle after his coma. and maybe he’s a little self conscious about how much smaller he is now compared to his prime as mecha man. luckily, you’re here to reassure robert you love him. with or without the muscle.
how robert allows himself to be vulnerable when he’s with you. you’re well aware of cautious he is. his walls always raised. it was the way he was trained. growing up, he was taught that vulnerability meant weakness by his father and himself. he couldn’t afford to be weak. especially not as mecha man. but the moment you came around, robert was coaxed into letting his guard down.
his awkwardness. robert tries so hard to remain nonchalant. for the most part it does work. though when it comes to you, he is just too easy to fluster. pepper kisses onto his freckles or carefully brush your thumb over his calloused knuckles and he’s fighting hard to keep his composure.
how selfless robert is. he’s always focusing on those around him. especially you. going out of his way to remember the small things about you, immediately noticing the slight shift in your mood whenever you’re upset, etc etc. every so often, you have to remind robert that he needs to take care of himself too. usually, you end up tending to him anyways.
the way robert’s voice softens when he’s talking to you. you’ll hear him over the comms or while you’re walking past his cubicle at work. his voice gruff and sardonic towards the team. the moment his eyes lock onto you, his tone immediately shifts into something gentler. slightly quieter, as if his words were for your ears only.
