Dating Spike would include...
Him being handsy
Like he can’t be near you without touching you in some way even just a hand on your knee or his arm around your waist
PDA bc he wants everyone to know you’re his
He would act super cocky but you know he’s insecure really so you’d do everything you can to reassure him how much you love him
He wouldn’t be much of a cuddler but would make sure that when you were lying next to each other he would have an arm draped over you
Whispering in your ear
Either cute, fluffy things in a hushed sleepy voice
Or dirty talk
Sooooooooo much dirty talk, in public, in private, all the time
He knows just how to make you blush
Always trying to make each other laugh
He would start writing poems again sometimes super serious ones but loads of little ones just to make you smile
Showing each other off to your friends
“We get it you love him but can you just shut up for once”
Going on cute theatre dates
Playing each other your favourite songs
Taking him to museums and him bullshitting about all the exhibits insisting he was there at the time
“Brunelleschi actually asked me for advice when designing the dome of the Santa Maria del Fiore as I am, in his words, a true genius.”
“You know that I know you got turned in 1880 right?”
Stealing his jackets all the time so he buys you your own
Gently teasing him whenever he does anything romantic but secretly loving it
He’d be the biggest tease in the bedroom too like holy shit he wouldn’t be satisfied until you were begging him
Just sarcasm all the time
Kinky sex
He’d be really smug about how good he can make you feel
Pet names
Him awkwardly presenting you with flowers on the first date ‘bc that’s what boyfriends do right and I just want everything to be perfect’
Being his rock
