is it any wonder that I have a LOT of opinions on Klavier in bed?
How does this character sleep? (Position, sleeping habits, bedtime routines)
Klavier is so bad at sleeping. So bad. He’s absolutely a night owl, does his best concentrating when it’s 11pm and the prosecutor’s office is almost completely empty. And he’s always been like that: being a rockstar with its late-night gigs didn’t force him to learn to behave that way, being that way helped with being a rockstar. Of course, you don’t make it to an 8am trial looking the way Klavier Gavin looks by rolling out of bed ten minutes before you leave, yeah? So he wakes up early, too. For some reason, he seems to be one of those people who thrives on very little sleep, but there’s definitely a line that he tends to toe from time to time. He’s absolutely made himself sick from exhaustion before.
Again, you don’t get to be Klavier Gavin washing your face with a bar of soap, so his bedtime routine (and wake up, let’s be honest) is pretty involved. Maybe not ‘8 step Korean skincare’ involved, but probably five or six steps most nights? hair and skin masks from time to time too.
When he does sleep, though, it’s in the very center of his very expensive king size bed, primarily on his side with two pillows under his head and an arm bent between them. When he’s alone, I think he often falls asleep with his phone in his hand, with music playing through his headphones.
What are their pajamas like?
Depends on who is joining him ;) Nah, but really, I feel like he sleeps shirtless in drawstring PJ pants. He works hard for those abs you see in concert and on the cover of magazines, he’ll take any chance he can to show them off. Even if it’s just to himself when he walks by a mirror. Of which there are many.
What do they dream about usually?
Things he’s frightened of: Kristoph’s lingering influence from behind bars, a solo career without Daryan and the rest of the Gavinners, getting something wrong in court and sentencing an innocent. Things he misses: his mother and the sound of her piano, Kristoph in the days before their parents’ death, the roaring of a crowd as he stepped onto a stage. Things he wants: well, you know.
How neat/tidy is this character?
Not very? Klavier is one of those people who becomes very involved in whatever he’s doing (whether it’s songwriting or pouring over a case file) and tunes out the rest of the world. Eventually, when whatever pressing matter has been resolved, he’ll come to his senses and clean up the clutter. But he has someone to clean his condo and do his laundry and collect his dry cleaning so, how tidy does he have to be, really?
How affectionate is this character?
So very affectionate. In words, of course, but also in light and surreptitious touches, in the attention and time he dedicates to the people he cares about, in the arm tucked around the waist of the person sharing his bed, pulled close against him in sleep. Klavier gives affection freely, to people he barely knows with only the slightest bit of prompting. It’s accepting affection from others that he struggles with.
