General dating headcanons with Qifrey
Not proofread — English isn't my first language so apologies if mistakes may happen :)
Pre-relationship
- As consequence due to his past, he has severe problems putting his trust into others
- I imagine you're either students under Beldaruit's care or happened to meet him in one of his Pentagram Tests
- Nevertheless, Qifrey has a soft spot for those close to him — those who see him for who he is despite the many thorns he has
- Pre-relationship Qifrey is calm & calculated, even if it doesn't meet the eye. When he takes you to the market in the city, he's keenly aware of the dangers that may arise. It's times like these where the weight of his hat and what is sheathed beneath the flap feels omnipresent to him
- When the time comes and his heart suddenly starts doing somersaults because of you brushing hair out of his face or grabbing his hand in a large crowd, his strategic mind loses its efficiency. You better not be a brim hat with the way you have him under your spell
- Qifrey would be quiet about it at first, but it's the gestures that count. Feeling tired after a rough day? Look who has freshly made stew on the stove, the smell settling throughout the entire atelier. Frustrated because you can't seem to get the spell right? You'll wake up with 10 scrolls of neatly drawn, ready to go, sheets. Qifrey would love to help you draw them but his poor heart can only take as much proximity
- would eventually consult with olruggio about his little problem. If you're good with Qifrey you're probably good with Olruggio as well. His best (and only) advisor tells him to start courting you, lest he wants to watch you get swooped up by someone else (the girls would probably rat him out, too excited to keep it to himself. They just want you and Qifrey to be like actual parents — they already see you as theirs anyway)
- Pre-relationship Qifrey is a calm, collected man that is just a little distracted by you
Relationship
- Now Relationship Qifrey is a MESS
- Dotes on you the entire time, somehow he always gravitates into your direction no matter the time of day (he says it's the magnetic pull, don't believe him)
- Still culsults Olruggio about what to do on your anniversaries/dates and has even considered marriage
- Can you blame him? He's been alone most of his life. His best friend is a little too nosy and the girls will eventually move out, you're his anchor.
- of course, dating Qifrey means dating ALL of him; from the tip of the iceberg all the way to the parts that stay hidden in the shadows. Qifrey worries that his traits and way of thinking might cause you to leave one day.
- I think he'd be against using his hat on you simply because he'd alter you that way and he just can't do that to his darling
- How could he even think of that when it's late at night and the two of you are lazing around the living room. Girls already asleep and Olruggio in his study. Simply finding comfort in each other's embrace while watching the fireflies dance around in the night sky. It's times like these where Qifrey takes your hand into his and rubs your ring finger absentmidedly, lost in thought.
Grasshoppers chirping, owls singing and fireflies buzzing. Life has fallen into place for you and Qifrey long time ago. What started off as simply wanting to get to know the white-haired witch grew into mutual affection, blurring along the lines of platonicism and romanticism. Admittedly, neither of you had planned for this to happen, it had simply been a game of fate weaving itself through your lives and linking them together. Love grows when taken care of properly, blooming like a flower. Yet as the care lessens and winds get harsher, it's of high importance to shield the flower. Sometimes Qifrey agrees a little too much with that thought, softly gazing at his safe haven in his arms, watching the light of the fireflies cast a solemn glow. It's times like these where he can let out a sigh, simply enjoying the moment instead of being on alert. As the wind starts blowing through the open kitchen window and envelopes everything in a soft, cool cast, the witch pulls you slightly closer to him, combing through your hair and playing with your fingers. Yet as you gaze out the window into the night, Qifrey can't help but lose himself in his head as his fingers brush against your ring finger, a silent promise to one day move on from this chapter and start a new one with you.
I just love Qifrey and his little "family" so much, so getting this made me so excited to write for witch hat atelier again!!
