✦ What Vance Hopper Would Be Like as a Boyfriend ✦
♱ First off, let’s clear something up — Vance isn’t the kind of boyfriend who’s toxic, violent, or disrespectful. No.
He’s the type who’s soft as hell with you, but only in private, because he gets embarrassed when people see him being all clingy or gentle.
♰ He’s jealous, but not toxic. He always keeps an eye on you — not because he doesn’t trust you, but because he doesn’t trust anyone else.
♰ His mom adores you, like genuinely loves you. His dad? Doesn’t even know you exist — Vance prefers it that way.
♰ If he spoke Spanish, Molotov would totally be his favorite band.
♰ He’s actually hilarious once you get close to him. Spend a full day with him and your stomach would hurt from laughing too much.
♰ Vance is a dog person. Cats like him, he pets them and all, but deep down? He’s 100% a dog guy. His dream dog would be a Doberman or a German Shepherd.
♰ You’d be the one patching him up after fights, and he’d be the one starting fights if anyone disrespected you.
♰ Neck kisses? Yeah, that’s his thing.
And he really loves long, slow kisses too.
♰ Rainy days are his worst enemy. He’s in a bad mood when it rains
♰ He loves when you wear his jackets or shirts. There’s something about seeing you in his clothes that drives him crazy.
♰ If you sleep over, you two end up talking till late. Sleeping next to him is super cozy — he pulls you against his chest with his arm wrapped around your back.
But if you move too much? Yeah, prepare for a bear hug.
♰ He’d give you his rings, buy you small gifts, and dedicate songs to you without ever saying much about it.
♰ Night walks calm him down. He doesn’t say it, but they help clear his head.
♰ When he’s feeling off, all he wants is to be next to you, asleep the whole day.
♰ Get ready for pillow fights whenever he remembers you’re officially his.
♰ At the start, he’d be shy, and because of that, you’d go through a lot of awkward moments — but honestly, they’d be kind of cute.
♰ When you’re upset or feeling bad, he’ll spoil the hell out of you.
♰ If you ever suggest playing in the rain, he’d hate it but still do it — just for you.
♰ Your first date would be him inviting you to watch him play pinball.
It’d be awkward at first, but he’d buy you something after to make it up to you.
♰ He’s a terrible skater. Like, hilariously bad.
♰ He hates bikes — they remind him too much of his dad, so he avoids them altogether.
♰ If you had a skateboard, he’d beg you to teach him how to use it.
♰ Vance isn’t big on words — his actions speak louder.
His love language? Acts of service and small gifts.
Hiii, I hope you like it and Im sorry if I made a mistake, english is not my first language but I hope you really like it and take care, byee （๑ ᷇ 𖥦 ᷆๑)♡
• Vance isn't really big on dating and hook-up culture. Like I said, he tends to keep to himself.
• But when he is a relationship... nothing really changes lol
• He is nicer, but he treats you more like a friend than a partner (in public)
• His love language is physical touch. He'll rest his hands on your shoulder or waist while behind you, If you're shorter than him, he'll put his arm on ur head when standing.
• He likes teasing physical contact, so flicking, pinching, or even sometimes nipping. he thinks it's funny.
• When he's in a relationship he's not a very jealous person. his mindset is "if his partner does something stupid then there's no reason to waste energy trying to salvage the relationship, they just aren't the one".
• He's only been in a handful of relationships, probably 3 so he knows something about what goes down.
• He's not big on communication so trying to understand the problem is all up to behavior and actions.
• Vance doesn't really get jealous but is possessive.
• When he does get possessive he gets really embarrassed and doesn't openly express it.
• He doesn't like being possessive ether, he thinks it's weak and "people should get attached because everyone leave eventually"
• But when he sees you talking to some random he can't help himself
________________________________
• The hallways buzzed with the usual afterclass chaos. You were standing by your locker, going through your stuff, when you heard an unfamiliar voice. You glanced up to find Eric, some guy from your history class, leaning against the locker next to yours.
• “Hey, we still good for the project later?” he asked, flashing you a smile. “Yeah, totally,” you answered with a smile of your own. You hadn’t really talked to him outside of class, but you didn’t mind. He was easy to talk to, and you quickly fell into a conversation about the assignment.
• You were so absorbed in the conversation that you didn’t notice Vance watching from across the hallway. He’d been in the middle of talking with someone when he caught seen you, laughing lightly at something Eric said. His brow furrowed instantly.
• It wasn’t that he didn’t trust you (he did) but seeing another guy getting so close, talking to you so easily, something just didn’t sit right with him. His hand tightened into a fist as he stared across the hallway.
• He should’ve just walked away, let you have your space. But before he could think any more about it, he was weaving through the crowded hallway, his footsteps quick and determined.
• You hadn’t noticed him approach until it was too late.
• Without a word, Vance reached for you, his hand slipping around your waist. His fingers brushed against your side, and before you could react, he gently but firmly pulled you away from the locker. You didn’t resist. His touch was familiar, and there was something in the way he moved that made it feel… like it was meant to be this way.
• “Vance?” you said, a little surprised as you looked over at his side profile.
• He didn’t respond at first, keeping his hand lightly around your waist as he guided you down the hallway. You could feel his fingers tense slightly, his thumb brushing across your side in a way that felt protective.
• As he pulled you along, you looked over your shoulder, trying to figure out what just happened. Eric had stepped back, looking confused as hell, but you hadn’t even gotten the chance to explain.
• “Vance, what’s going on?” you asked, trying to get him to meet your gaze.
• You stopped walking, standing still in the middle of the hallway, which made him pause too. His grip on your waist loosened just a little, but he didn’t let go completely, unsure of how to explain himself.
• Finally he looked at you, his eyes a little softer than usual, though still holding that same intent. “I don't want you talking to him."
• You blinked. “Eric? He was just talking about the project. You know, the one for history?”
• Vance nodded, his hand still wrapped around your waist. “Yeah, I know. I just didn’t like it.”
• Your brows furrowed. “Didn’t like it? So you just pulled me away?”
• He shifted his weight, looking at the ground for a moment, “I don’t know. I didn’t want to you talking to him. It felt wrong.”
• “Vance,” you started, your voice softer now, less confused. “You don’t own me.”
• “I know,” he muttered quickly, his tone almost apologetic “I just.. 'dont know”
• You stared at him for a moment, taken aback by the softness in his words. Vance wasn’t usually like this—he was blunt, often too blunt for his own good—but now, there was something different about the way he spoke. It was almost... shy?
• “I just,” he continued, running his hand through his curls. “I don’t like.. you know?”. He didn’t know how to say it without sounding "soft," but you knew what he meant.
• You weren’t sure what to say, though, so instead, you just smiled, reaching up to place a hand on his arm.
• “You don’t have to worry about that” you said gently. “You’re the one I’m with.”
• Vance’s gaze flickered to your hand, and then back to your face, the tension in his shoulders easing. A small, smile tugged at his lips. “I know. I just don't like sharing.”
• You laughed softly, the sound of it making him smile more. “Well, you’re not sharing me, Vance,” you said, “I’m not going anywhere.”
________________________________
• So safe to say Vance is not a fan of sharing
• Vance doesn't like you bring at his home, mostly because family issues, but when you do come over it's feels like its just you and him.
• He likes to tone out the outside noise so he has tons of vinyls that he plays when he wants to shut everything out
• When he's in private hes softer than his normal hard demeanor
• He likes knowing that it's just him and you so he's more relaxed when it comes to doing couple stuff in private
• Vance doesn't really give compliments but he likes to stare. Alot.
• You could be on his bed doing homework, sleeping, or ranting about your day and he'll just be staring
• It's not his fault your so gorgeous
• Unfortunately he's has a resting bitch face so many times you mistakes his loving stare with an angry gaze.

" Vance, sweetheart, I'm tired." The voice of someone spoke softly, cuddled up in the arms of the famous "Pinball" Vance Hopper. That was a whole story in itself on how Y/N and Vance had began to date. But amongst them dating, Vance was practically putty in Y/N’s hands. That was something the blonde’s friend group had begun to notice. At least Bruce and Griffin had. He knew those two were the most observant of the whole group, and he despised it sometimes. A soft sigh escaped Vance as his head rested upon his lovers head, moving slightly to rest it against their shoulder now. “..no.” The blonde would mutter out, tired himself. Yet he’d never admit he was tired. The blonde constantly stayed up for hours beyond recognition, even if it was terrible for his sleep schedule. No wonder why he would always fall asleep in at least two classes. Which wasn’t a surprise to Y/N. A yawn escaped the (h/c)’d individual, who tried to move out of Vance’s hold. “I’m going to bed.” They mumbled out, earning a whine of protest from the blonde behind them.
Vance was half awake himself, of course he was, but he didn’t want his lover to move. “..no, don’t..” The blonde behind mumbled out softly as his hold on his love never left. The two had been relaxing on the couch, Vance’s parents out for the night, at least his father. Y/N knew of Vance and his father’s relationship, and knew that it was wonky by all names in Denver. Y/N held a partially confused look on their face as Vance spoke tiredly into their back. “...why not?” Y/N questioned their boyfriend, looking over their shoulder to the blonde, who’s face remained hidden. Vance didn’t reply for a little bit, his shoulders rising and falling at an even pace. Y/N was glad the blonde was more relaxed, but they were tired and were bound to go upstairs and pass out in their boyfriends bed. If he would let them go, that was. Vance was half awake himself, of course he was, but he didn’t want his lover to move. “..no, don’t..” The blonde behind mumbled out softly as his hold on his love never left.

Y/N was glad the blonde was more relaxed, but they were tired and were bound to go upstairs and pass out in their boyfriends bed. If he would let them go, that was.
It took Vance a couple minutes of silence before the curly haired blonde spoke again. “Just.. .keep talking… please..?” His voice was soft before Y/N let out a soft sigh. “Vance, babe, how about we go upstairs so we can both be more comfortable?” They questioned as the blonde’s hold had released Y/N, allowing them to stand up. He didn’t have his vest on, just a pair of comfortable pants and a shirt with a random band on it. Something or some band he liked, most likely the band that always played on the Jukebox in the Grab N’ Go. That “Fox on the Run” song would always get stuck in their head as they’d hang at the convenient store with their boyfriend. “Yeah… yeah.. We can do that..” Vance mumbled out as Y/N gently took his hand. They knew that Vance was bound to fall asleep soon as he hit the pillows on the bed. That’s something they took note of as they dated the blonde headed boy.
As Y/N led Vance up the stairs and pushed open the door to their boyfriend’s room, they were right on the blonde practically falling onto his bed. A soft hum of satisfaction escaped Vance as he laid on the bed, rolling onto his side so Y/N could curl into his arms. “Come onnn…” The blonde whined out, his pale blue eyes looking up to where Y/N stood. The (h/c)’d individual raised a brow slightly at their boyfriend before going to turn off the small light Vance appeared to have on a desk. Which most likely had a bunch of random scribbles or knife marks into it. Which was true when Y/N looked at the desk in question. “You need to be more careful with your desk, my love. At least it isn’t the walls.” They mumbled out as they walked over to the bed, staring down at their boyfriend for a moment. Vance moved back, making room for Y/N to climb under the covers with them. Softly, as the blonde wrapped his arms around his partner, pulling them so their back was against his chest. With a tired tone of voice escaping him, he’d mutter softly, but loud enough so his love could hear it. “...goodnight, dork..” He meant the name in a playful and loving way. No way in hell would he insult the other. “...goodnight, jerk.” Y/N replied softly, shaking their head and beginning to allow theirself to fall asleep and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere between themself and the boy behind them.
The Black Phone characters reactions to having a s/o that actually throws fists at their bullies:
Including: Vance, Bruce, Finney and Robin
Tw: none except that you are a badass I guess 🤷
Author's note: Hii everyone!! Just a quick reminder that English isn't my native language so please be kind if there's some mistakes! <3
Bruce Yamada:
- Bruce will be probably in complete shock after seeing you hit your bully square in the face-
- Actually he never thought that his sweet s/o would be capable of fighting back, he's usually the one protecting you!
- "Where did you learned that technique ?" "Can you teach it to me?"
- Lowkey impressed 🤌
- One time he deadass cheered on you when you were fighting with some girl in the school's hallway 💀
- If you get hurt he'll definitely patch you, adding a sweet little kiss where your are patched.
Vance Hopper:
- Vance would be impressed, not like Bruce though, but I think he'll just raise his eyebrows and maybe laugh a bit when he'll see you beating up your bully.
- He secretly thinks that fighting makes you look hot-
- He's the one teaching you some of his secret technique, and he finds it cute when you're copying step by step his moves--
- Unlike Bruce, when your throwing fists he will not just stay there 🧍 bc nobody has the right to touch his precious s/o
- "Calm down, you'll never be as strong as me"
- Sometimes you'll fight him as a joke, but you'll always end up on the floor 💀
Robin Arellano:
- One time he heard that you got into a fight so he immediately rushed to save you, but when he saw you pining down a grown ass eighteen years old boy, he felt really proud
- Like super proud-
- Eventually he'll try to explain to you that you don't have to fight your bullies, that you can tell him who's messing with you and he'll beat them right away
- But gosh he's proud. Like, he has that soft smile when he's patching your knuckles, caressing them lightly 🥺
- "If these dickheads keep on bothering you, I'll beat them for you"
Finney Blake:
- Shocked since the day you slapped the life out of one of his bullies 💀
- Some says that you can still hear the sound of the slap if you concentrate enough--
- Finn's really amazed by your fighting skills and will ask you to teach him some of them!! <3
