Rudo
🗑️ Rudo
Some sweet headcanons (reader insert)
When you’re more than just someone to him? How does it feels? Well...
Rudo is the kind of person who looks like a walking challenge to the world. Prickly. Sharp. Always on guard. But if you’re his person... Well everything changes. Not instantly. Not obviously. But irreversibly.
He protects you even when you don’t know it.
Rudo will never say, “I’m worried.” He’ll say, “Don’t go there, idiot.” But between the lines there’s concern.
He remembers where you felt uncomfortable. Who stared at you too long. Who raised their voice at you. And if someone hurts you emotionally or physically they’ll regret it. The dog is gonna bite. Rudo isn’t the type to make pretty threats. He just acts. He just do.
Sometimes you notice he walks slightly behind you. Not beside you - behind. So he can see everything. So no one can come up from your blind spot.
His care is rough, but real and pure.
He’s not good with soft words. But if you’re tired he’ll silently take the heavy thing out of your hands. If you’re cold he’ll throw his jacket over your shoulders and act like he’s “not cold at all.” He might grumble, “You didn’t eat properly again? You’re annoying.” And an hour later, food appears in front of you.
That’s his love language. Actions. Always actions.
He remembers the little things.
You once said you don’t like loud noises? He’ll start closing doors more quietly.
You mentioned you like looking at the sky? He’ll take you somewhere with the best view of it.
He listens. Even when he pretends he doesn’t.
He never admit that all this small things are something that shows that he cares.
What about physical touch?
At first almost none.
He’s too tense. Too used to defending himself. But if you’re the one who carefully reaches for his hand first he’ll freeze (OMG IT'S A WOMAN (if you woman ofc...)).And then, well, he just won’t pull away (too stuned ti speak).
Over time, he becomes the one who pulls you closer first. His hugs are tight. Almost greedy. Like he’s afraid that if he lets go, the world will take something from him again.
Sometimes he just rests his forehead against your shoulder. Quietly. That’s his way to as yo to, “Stay.” (And if you have love language being touch, that would hit especially deep. He doesn’t hug often, but when he does, your anxiety goes silent for a moment.)
He gets jealous. Quietly. He doesn’t make scenes. Maybe it's surprising but he really silent about this type of feelings.
He just grows sharper. Because shorter in his replies. A little more tense.
If someone stands too close to you — his gaze darkens. He won’t say, “Don’t talk to them.” He hates control. But one day, he’ll quietly ask:
“Do you like him/her?”
And it won’t sound accusatory, it’ll sound full of afraid.
You are his safe place that he needs, 100%
The world has been cruel to Rudo. He grew up in it without illusions. But with you, he can allow himself to be more than just strong.
Sometimes he talks about his past. Briefly. In fragments and when you don’t judge, don’t flinch, don’t walk away he looks at you like you’ve done the impossible. You’re proof that not everything in this world is shit.
Small domestic moments? Oh yeah.
He grumbles if you’re late, but waits until the very end.
He might quietly brush a stray strand of hair away from your face and then immediately look away full of embarrassment and regret of doing it and existing.
He likes having you nearby, even in silence.
If you cry, he gets angry first (at the reason of your tears, not at you), then awkwardly wipes your tears away with his thumb.
“Don’t cry. I’ll handle it.”
And he will.
The most important thing - Rudo isn’t someone who says “I love you” every day or other sweet things, but if he says it once - it means you’ve become part of his inner world. And he lets very few people in there.
With you, he learns to trust.
With you, he learns to be gentle.
With you, he understands that he can be loved not for his strength, not for his rage, but simply because he exists. And honestly? He’ll hold you like you’re the only valuable thing he’s ever been given.
