Romantic Warlocks S/O headcanons
- The Warlocks, the most studious of the guardians, studying the Traveler and many mysteries of the solar system. You would think they know a thing of being a romantic partner. Well, with their elegance and knowledge. You are, not too wrong. You adore your Warlock but sometimes they are too deep into their studies a bit too much. Hell they seem to forget to eat sometimes. You know studying is important but also rest is important too, which is like some form of taboo to guardians like, everywhere. Sometimes a little nudge can make them stop, other times, it’ll take more than that. Now you’re probably thinking, can you really take on a guardian with space magic who can basically warp the elementals in their hands in an instinct? Surprisingly yes. They aren’t going to harm you with their power, nor their physical ability gives them much leverage neither, though they can pack quite a bitch slap. Rather they gently argue with “In a second” or “I’m in the middle of something, please wait.” Close that book, store away the papers, it’s time to cuddle. Shhh shhh, ghost will take care of it.
-Believe it or not, they are quite cheesy than you think. They like expressing affection the most classic way that occur before the golden ages. Do you know how much romantic novels they read through? The bouquet of flowers? Chocolates? A cute teddy bear? Yeah they were inspired by the books they read. You’ll be surprise how much the romance session is popular to the guardians. Now they don’t always follow a novel’s plot. They have their own plans which they totally didn’t discuss it with their ghost on the percent of success and are super anxious if it’ll make you happy. With their powers they like being creative and with their extend knowledge what you received is outstanding. A solar flower that never dies out, it’s as warm as their love for you. A private room where soft music is playing in the back and you two spend the time together slowly dancing, they even pick you up with their levitating abilities and continue dancing carefully holding you humming to the songs. A book they thought you might be interested in reading with them. A star globe to show you the stars and tell of their stories. It is still incredibly cheesy but they will not admit it. Their ghost might though.
- The other warlocks gossips like handmaidens. They see you interacting? Maybe some soft flirting? They silently giggle and carries on their duty before your lover catches them. Your relationship is rather an open secret, as they just want to keep it apart from work, but everyone knows anyway. They don’t say it directly to them, but they obviously know something going on between the two. The other warlocks just glares at the gossiping warlocks, wanting them to focus on their research than to pry into one’s relationships. Though they think you two adorable and your face into their domain is a welcoming sights. Whether you’re getting books, wanting to chat or to just curious of some projects you’re always welcome in the Warlock’s space. Some of their fellow warlocks have given you some romantic novels and your confuse expression just is priceless as they’re giving you thumbs up while others are facepalming. It is surprisingly helpful.
- Like calling you really cute nicknames. “My Dear.” “My Special Light.” “Darling?” “Ah yes my Glimmer.” However if you call them any cute nicknames. The table is turn, they don’t know what to do, they’re flustered, they’re PANICKING, internally that is. It melts them that you’re calling them cute nicknames and it almost like you nearly cause them to not work for a moment before they compose themselves. They secretly enjoy it, they act like they don’t like it but they always let you call them whatever nicknames you come up. If you say something new, it will get them off guard. Be creative, their reaction to their face and body movement is always priceless.
- Their ghost is way more honest with you, they probably the one that told you their guardian like you in the first place. Your Warlock probably doesn’t express much of their thoughts, or at least most thoughts they have thinking about you, not wanting to embarrassed you but that ghost will spill the beans. “Hey did you know my guardian saw some accessories and thought of you?” “Ghost!” “What? Oh oh also when in the Crucible they pause thinking of a perfect date and then a Titan went and ram into-!” “Ghost PLEASE stop.” It’s nice to know that they think of you often, but you do feel bad that they’re basically being called out by their little companion much to your amusement.
-When they go on missions they make sure to see you first before departing after making sure they have their weapons, ammo and space in their inventory, and promising to get back home as soon as possible with a loving kiss too before putting on the helmet and getting to their ship. You like calling them during missions and you see different terrains if they let you see where they’re at. From the snowy terrains Europa to the strange colorful forest of Nessus. “Failsafe do you want to say hello to Y/N?” “Oh hello there traveler! It is very nice to communicate to other beings beside the guardians who come now and then! I been like, sooo lonely, it’s almost like you forgotten about me.” “…” “Would you like to hear my logs since the last time I saw the guardian?”
- You are given access to their array of robes and they are positively comfortable to be in, some are rather too big for you and you only keep partial things like the basic robe on depending of the layer armor it has. You like to pose in the mirror, and try to act like a high and mighty warlock in it. You got caught by them as you pose in the mirror sprouting out words like you’re in some epic fantasy battle. Sometimes in the morning and you’re up, you donned their robe that they had planned to wear going out and there’s a little battle between you two. You look absolutely adorable but they need that robe, they already put on their pant and boots and need to complete their outfits. No you can’t try the puppy eyes! They’re a hard veteran who has faced death many times! While also sometimes succumbing to your charms and get another robe if you’re stubborn enough.
“Y/N my precious dear, may I have my robe back?”
“What robe? I have no idea what you’re speaking of.”
“The robe you are wearing as of this moment.”
“What this? This isn’t your robe it’s my….bath robe.”
“Did you call my armor a BATH robe-?”
- “Is it worth it to be a Guardian?” You once ask the knowledgeable Warlock and for once, they seen to look into thought. Their eyes staring in thought. “Well, we are blessed with the light,” They started. “And given a chance in our new lives, even though memories of our past are wiped away, it is as if we are staring anew with the what we received.” “Doesn’t it make you wonder of your past life? Or having to work endlessly everyday to protect the Last City from those who harm the surviving people? Doesn’t it…ever bother you that you’re given a life with a duty to continually fulfill just like that?” Thoughts tinker in their mind, contemplating one’s existence before letting out a chuckle much to your surprise. “I guess in a way, it kinda would, but the past what people, like me and many others is gone, we might had families, friends…lovers.” They continue. “But we can’t mourn those who are already dead can we? Or those we can’t remember. Even if I could remember, would it bring them back?” They spoke aloud in silent room. “And for being a guardian, we were chosen, and we can choose to follow it, or go our own ways. I choose to be a person who protects, like I want to protect you.” Their hand trails over to your, clamping it. “Life, is a mystery to all, and what we have, we’ll still live on like any person would. A duty is because we’re necessary and I want to make the world safe as much as everyone else.” They slowly held your other hand and held them together. “I do not know my past, yes, and I am at times scared in the present time what can occur but I know for the future.” They lean down and press a kiss to your hands.
“I’ll be sure it’ll be a wonderful place for you.”
