I’ve genuinely been thinking about Olympic Swimmer! Bradley all week and it was such a nice surprise to see a new fic 🥰 Could I please ask what you think the Swimmer lads love languages are? I just find that they’re a nice little insight to the relationships! No worries if not :)

no!! i love this so much. ok this turned out so long but i love doing character analysis

bradley: physical touch

this was kind of a given tbh. bradley has always been touchy, there’s never a moment where his arms isn’t hung around his teammates. with bubbles though, he just needs to have his hands on you. even when he’s talking to other swimmers at the olympics or chatting up with other coaches, bradley would have his hand underneath your shirt to rub your back or he’ll be massaging your shoulder. the long bus rides to swim meets or hotels though? you’re being put in his lap and he will be holding onto you like you’re a stuffed animal the entire time

jake: quality time

for most of his life jake has been on teams, and even though he’s a man of little words he’s always secretly enjoyed being around his friends in general. surprisingly, he hates being by himself, there’s just something about the silence he doesn’t like. so, when he met giggles (who’s clingy beyond belief) it was like he found his fix. he’ll always have her around to the point that he’ll kick the other guys out of the locker rooms so she could sit in there while he gets changed. his favorite thing though, is the late night hotel adventures. he knows he has a match the next morning & he definitely knows he should be getting sleep but he stays up with her just so they can hang out in the empty lobby together while they build a lego set she bought

bob: gift giving

after every match, bob’s always received flowers or gifts as a congrats from his friends and family so that’s where his love language lies. everytime you see him, bob always has something for you. he’s the type of boyfriend to buy the most bizzare and random things in gift shops just because it reminded him of you. bob also has a list of things in his phone labeled “things my girlfriend mentioned once that i need to buy for her”. he’ll wait for the list to rack up to about 50 items and buy everything all in one go. bob is showing up at your door with a menagerie of stuffed animals you said you just needed because they were so cute and boxes full of random things you saw off tiktok that you wanted to try.
