SOOO attentive! He will listen to anything and everything you have to say, even the nonsense rambles. He loves LOVES hearing you talk, so keep it up!! (Yapper x Listener dynamic).
Remembers every little detail of you like he lives in your mind (you definitely live rent free in his!!). Even something small like your favorite sweater he’ll remember, and make sure its clean so that way you can wear it.
He also is attentive on things that you have, such as if you have a favorite scent. If you run out, he would notice and buy you another when the time is right.
He isnt the type of guy to “boast” about his relationship, since he feels like those little details of you guys are private. However that doesnt mean he is afraid to show you off or talk about it, when given the chance and seen appropriate he has no problem talking all about you.
(With modern day), his phone screen is definitely a picture of you holding Gizmo.
100% talks about you with Larry. Him and I are extremely close to the point Larry knew Sal had a crush on you before he did. Larry is asking him every so often how you guys are doing, and thats where Sal gets to dump out his romantic feelings for you without having it feel weird.
His love languages would be gift giving, quality time and acts of service. He struggles to find the words to show how he cares and I feel like he would be very awkward with physical touch (atleast at first) because hes worried on messing up, so gift giving is his way showing he is VERY intrested in you. He also LOVES taking care of other people, so being able to show the person he loves that he cares AND gets to take care of you? Win win. The icing on the cake; being able to spend hours with you whenever it be out and about or just in silence it means so so much to him.
If you struggled to sleep one night, he would be on his way to be beside you and sing to you to sleep. Especially if you had nightmares he would be so delicate with you. Clean blankets, water, anything you’d need he’d be right there for you.
Would make little songs for you on his guitar and play them for you as a gift.
As said before, he wouldnt be physical affecienate right away in fears of you leaving or making you uncomfortable. Once he knows that you are comfortable, he is the most clingy person on planet Earth. Hugs from behind, kiss on the hand, you name it.
LOVESSS when you kiss his mask. He definitely feels bad that his face is scarred so its not the “normal way to kiss”, but by treating it like that makes him feel so much better.
Writes you so many love letters. Although he struggles to vocalize his words, putting it down on paper perfectly describes how he feels. You have to keep an entire keepsake with how many letters and other gifts he gives you.
ALWAYS texts good morning and goodnight. No matter what is going on he will always do his very best to keep up with you.
Loves you so dearly <3. Always the first thing he thinks of when he wakes up and before he sleeps.
This headcanon was born from a small idea I had for a chapter book about Sally Face; I hope to bring it to life soon!
In this story, in my AU, Henry and Lisa get married and have a daughter, Estelle "Stella" Fisher, who is usually 4 years old. I also added Barney, a cute Golden Retriever! I hope you enjoy it! 🎸
H E A D C A N O N S
Stella is convinced that Larry is a giant. No matter how many times he explains that he’s just tall: to her, he’s a kind giant who lives among humans.
Larry lets her draw on his face with washable markers. Once, he walked around for half a day with a crown drawn on his forehead because Stella had decided he was “King Larry.”
Sal keeps every single drawing Stella gives him. Even the ones that look like nothing more than incomprehensible scribbles. He tucks them between notebook pages, inside guitar cases, and in drawers. Woe to anyone who tries to throw one away.
When Stella is afraid of thunderstorms, Sal sits beside her and explains that the sky is simply playing the drums.
Painting her siblings' nails, always!! Stella loves to paint their nails, even if it's a little smudgy, it doesn't matter, she's a little artist.
Larry teaches her ridiculous words just for fun. Stella spends weeks saying things like “catastrophically” without having the slightest idea what it means.
Barney, the Golden Retriever, is her best friend!
Larry and Barney have a completely imaginary rivalry over who gets more hugs from Stella.
Sal doesn’t talk much when he’s tired, but with Stella, he always manages to find energy he didn’t even know he had.
Whenever Stella falls asleep on the couch, both Sal and Larry automatically lower the volume of the music without anyone having to ask.
If Stella falls and gets hurt, Larry reacts as if a national disaster has just occurred.
Sal, on the other hand, stays calm. He picks her up, brushes her hair away from her eyes, and waits for her to settle down before checking the damage. And besides, as he always reminds her, her big brother is with her: she doesn’t need to be afraid of anything.
Stella loves sitting on Sal’s shoulders because she says she can see “the secrets of the world” from up there. He runs around the house while she laughs and declares herself the princess of the kingdom.
Barney follows Stella everywhere. The bathroom, the kitchen, the bedroom. Wherever she goes, there’s always a golden dog just a few steps away.
Larry teaches her how to make silly faces for photos, and as a result, almost every picture they take together is completely unusable.
Sal, instead, teaches her how to hold a pencil, how to draw, and how to be gentle with animals.
Larry always pretends to lose during games. Always.
Every night before bed, Barney lies down in front of Stella’s bedroom door like a very fluffy bodyguard.
Stella is the only person in the world who can interrupt Larry in the middle of a story and get the response: “You’re right, go on.”
Treehouse. Oh my God, she loves it!
When Stella falls asleep during a car ride, Larry tucks a blanket around her while Sal checks at least five times to make sure she’s still breathing.
Larry loves coming up with ridiculous nicknames for her based on her name. “Comet,” “Asteroid,” “Meteorite,” “Supernova.” The sillier they are, the more he likes them.
Sal says Stella is a tiny hurricane. He says it every time she runs from one room to another without stopping for even a second. And yet he adores her energy and the way she excitedly toddles around every time he picks up his guitar.
Larry likes to tease her and pretend to argue with her; they always end up giggling with each other.
When Sal plays something, Stella immediately starts dancing. It doesn’t matter where she is or what she’s doing.
Sometimes Stella launches herself at Sal for a hug without any warning. He pretends he’s been hit by a truck, but honestly, he lives for those moments.
