Meeting and Dating Robert ‘Rabbit’ Nurick
(My gif)(Requested by @westanimagines)
- Although Dusty tried his hardest to lure you in, it was Rabbit who caught your eye after joining Jo’s team. He was older than you, handsome, smart, and completely, wonderfully single.
- It really doesn’t look like it but Rabbit is forty years old, so when you began your attempts at flirting he either didn’t realize what you were doing or didn’t take you seriously. A gorgeous young girl actually being interested in “an old fart like him”? Yeah right. But he decides to play along every now and again anyway.
- His obliviousness to your actual feelings is slightly infuriating but you aren’t about to give up when you’re so close to getting what you want. You just need to be a little more obvious, right?
- So there you were, trying to proposition your crew member so that he would finally realize that you were being serious whenever you hit on him.
- Let’s just say walking out of a hotel bathroom in only a towel worked to finally convince him of the true nature behind your flirting... or at least short circuited his brain enough to momentarily forget all his other thoughts.
“How about we go get some coffee together tomorrow?”
Gulps “Yeah, tha-that would be great.”
- Your first date was at a nice cafe where you could talk in peace. He was slightly embarrassed over the fact that it took him so long to realize your feelings for him which you found adorable. Everyone teased the two of you when you arrived back at camp
- The two of you shared your first kiss a few days later after you happened across him sitting on his own and watching the stars. You sat next to him, letting him point out some constellations to you before he went quiet, his eyes locked on your face.
- You asked him what was wrong and he shook his head with a shy smile. After a bit of prodding he finally admitted that he was just thinking about how beautiful you were. You smiled at him, calling him handsome and giggling as he teasingly replied “oh yeah?”. It wasn’t long before you found yourselves leaning in and sharing a long, sweet kiss.
- Your life may have been a bit crazy but at least you found someone equally crazy to share it with.
- Tasteful pda: a hand on your back or arm around your shoulder, quick kiss here, tucking of hair behind the ear there, etc.
- His favorite pet name for you is “Honey”.
- Teasingly calling him “Bunny”.
- Waking up to soft kisses and the smell of breakfast early in the morning.
- He’s always making sure you have whatever you need.
- Finally someone he can trust with his maps.
- Be prepared to travel a lot because you don’t stay put for long in this line of work.
- His choice of work may be dangerous and exciting but don’t be mistaken, his favorite activities are the same as a 70 year old mans: reading, puzzles, board games, model building, bird watching, etc.
- He firmly believes that spending a quiet night in with you is better than going anywhere else.
- He loves when you run your fingers through and fix his hair.
- Making little pit stops together when you’re on the road.
- Talking about random, specific scenarios and what you’d do in them whenever you get bored.
- He has a bit of a short attention span so sometimes you’ll have to remind him of what he was talking about once he gets distracted by something else.
- Having him read to you. The man has a nice voice.
- Cheek, forehead and head kisses. Just lots of kisses, okay?
- Having dates at random, unique places you come across while travelling.
- He likes being able to give you advice whenever you need. Remember, he’s a wise man; self diagnosed.
- Happily listening to his little explanations on how things work or what things mean.
- He loves asking questions and learning new things about you. He’s got a little compartment in his brain filled with stories of yours.
- He always jokes about how old he is, which obviously really isn’t that old.
- Having your quiet moments interrupted by the others, specifically Dusty.
- The others tease you a lot, mainly the younger boys although Jo gets in a few jokes every now and again.
- If there’s something he can compliment you on, he’s going to do it.
- He’s the perfect gentleman, always opening doors for you, pulling out chairs and helping you up/down.
- Wearing his button ups in the morning and his comfy shirts to bed. He adoringly calls you a thief.
- He’s the big spoon whenever you cuddle, mainly because he’s six foot and likes how nicely the two of you fit together.
- Sneaking around corners together, trying to find some peace, quiet, and privacy.
- Showering together... to conserve water,...you know?
- He’s probably the rational thinker in your relationship. What can I say, he’s just a logical boy.
- You’ll never get lost when you’re with him, it’s quite possibly impossible.
- The two of you have very dangerous jobs so he’s grown quite protective over you. He doesn’t like letting you out of his sight and always tries to stop you when you want to do something particularly dangerous.
- Tight, relieved hugs after things turn out okay.
- If something were to ever happen to you, rest assured he’s the first to come running over, trying to help and seeing if you’re okay.
- He’s always quick to comfort and reassure you whenever things get tough.
- The two of you don’t spend a lot of time with people outside of your crew members so he rarely has a reason to be jealous. But on those rare occasions where he does get jealous, he’ll usually stay relatively calm unless the guy really won’t let up.
- Teasing each other constantly.
- The man loves a homemade meal so if you’re a good cook just know you’ve won his heart.
- There’s a 99% chance that your parents love him which is good because he loves them back. He’s always excited to drop by and visit them with you.
- He’s very excited to introduce you to Meg as his girlfriend.
- He can get a little snappy when he’s angry/stressed so the two of you will undoubtedly have a few short arguments during your relationship. Annoying, yes, but nothing a quick apology can’t fix.
- Saying you love each other every day.
- He genuinely can’t wait to marry you, like he’s so ready to, at least somewhat, settle down and start a new life together.
