+ reminder! you might not at all have the same interests as the ‘y/n’ in this hc, but this is just based off the type of person I imagine techno would have really good chemistry with. interests, actions, outlook on life etc.
song recommendation: sparks - coldplay
he loooves recommending books to you
especially the ones that mean the most to him
like, ones from his childhood that he still reads to this day
you reccommed books to each other literally all the time
and when you read them, you ‘go your separate ways’
like, sitting in your own corner of the couch
note: I also headcannon techno with a small man bun and glasses sitting under a blanket- it’s just too perfect
and when you’re done you cuddle up together
and then talk for hours about every thought you had about the books you read
you two also drink a looot of tea
I’m surprised you don't have to pee every 2 minutes
techno is really really good at feedback
he might've dropped out of college, but he was still an english major
it’s just in his nature to criticise something he’s suggested to you and likes himself
this might come as a little bit of a surprise, but techno loves it when you cook together
I could imagine that he’s the type to say “I’m really not that good at cooking” but then is actually extremely good at it
to him cooking is just a stress reliever - something to get his mind off of things
and then when it’s with you, it’s even better
you could definitely plead him into wearing a “kiss the chef” apron
and even if he groans about hating it, he secretly has a soft spot for how giggly you get when you see him giving in to wearing it
he adores forehead kisses
there’s just something about your forehead that makes him wanna kiss it
even if you're literally doing nothing
zoning out mid-conversation with someone else? forehead kiss
so focused on doing something to a perfect extent? forehead kiss
so tired that you can barely even keep your eyes open, actual drool falling from your mouth? forehead kiss
let’s just say; if he’s not kissing your forehead within 2 hours of being with you, something’s wrong
speaking of kisses; he enjoys them more when they’re not on your lips
it’s an underrated preference of his, but it really shows in the way he shows affection
he’s always kissing your hand, shoulder, cheek, forehead - anywhere where there’s access to your skin tbh
and does it with such tenderness and so much softness
he also tends to slowly caress your arm or leg while cuddling
sometimes without even noticing
he’d be teasing you so often
but the things he teases you about are actually the things he find so special about you and really likes about you
he really likes learning new things from you
and then picking up on some of your habits
it’s just another thing to remind him of how head over heels for you he actually is
when he really needs comfort, holding his hand or engulfing him in your arms is the way to go
doesn't matter it you're silent or not while doing it - it helps him feel so so much better either way
and he does the exact same with you
maybe even brushing his hand though your hair while gently hushing you
and reminds you that you don't have to talk if you don't want to and is just super sweet
he’s a lot better at handling other people’s emotions than he thinks
and gives really good advice afterwards
he really appreciates it when you take care of him
like bringing him food while he’s busy with something else because it’s getting late and you just know he’ll forget
or when you remind him that everything doesn't have to be perfect and done all at once
and when you silently sling a scarf around his neck because it’s, like, one degree colder than yesterday
and he can never forget the countless of times where you give him that smile
the one that makes him forget about all of his problems and only think about you, you, you
the one that reminds him that you love him and are always there for him
you two have started an ongoing thing without even noticing, which is sharing a glass of wine together over a nice homemade dinner on a friday evening, binge-watching movies that you both find nostalgic or memorable in some way and just enjoying each other’s company
and it’s really nice ;(
you force him out of the house when it’s been literal weeks since he’s seen the sun shine
and go for short walks to random places
I feel like he’d really enjoy showing you the places he used to roam
his old college for example
even though he dropped out - he still has a lot of memories from there that he’d love to tell you about
he’s kind of like your local tour guide - though he’s only telling you stories about himself
which just makes it even better
when in crowded places, he always has a protective hand on your back
it’s just a natural reflex at this point
if he knows you’ll be walking alone in the dark, he makes sure you always call him
so you won't be completely “alone”
or he’ll just pick you up himself if you're far away from home
techno spoils you so much, too
and even when you tell him to stop, it’s hard for him to
he just wants to do anything to make you happy
you’d book a cabin once in a while
for just the two of you
for occasions where everything around you can seem a little too loud
and it’s always suuuper cozy
you guys always help each other fall asleep
you basically just talk until you're both too tired to do it anymore
and he’ll always make sure you're snuggled up nicely in his arms before dozing off :)
