#im nearly done my relisten of w359 and it's so distressing so i needed to write out some cute headcanons to keep myself sane 🥺

[dysfunctionalcreature]

some fluffy-ish random Heiffel (Hilbert x Eiffel) headcanons I have in no particular order (but the ones that are specific scenarios are probably very early on in the mission before Hilbert's mutiny) :

Eiffel has insomnia and will go hang out in Hilbert's lab and ramble at him when he's having particularly hard nights falling asleep

Eiffel falls asleep in Hilbert's lab sometimes, and sometimes Hilbert will wake him to send him back to bed, but other times Hilbert will just pull Eiffel's floating sleeping body back to his room and tuck him into bed, doing his best not to wake him

Sometimes Eiffel wants something to distract him from his thoughts so he'll ask Hilbert to tell him about whatever science experiment he's working on, and Hilbert will talk for as long as Eiffel's willing to listen about it because he likes being able to talk about his work even if most of what he says goes over Eiffel's head

Eiffel is extremely touch starved (and traumatized obviously) by the time he gets back to the Hephaestus after being rescued by the SI5, and he ends up breaking down sobbing about it during his checkup from Hilbert, and Hilbert hugs him for almost half an hour and Eiffel thanks him for it after but they never talk about it again

Eiffel thinks Hilbert's accent is sooo hot and he gets flustered every time he hears Hilbert speak Russian

Hilbert/Selberg had a secret romance with Lambert during their Hephaestus mission (this is relevant because Selberg/Lambert Eiffel/Hilbert parallels are very important to me)

Eiffel and Lambert looked pretty similar but not identical, Eiffel's hair is a warm dark brown and curly and down to his armpits, where as Lambert's hair was straight dirty blonde and chin length (plus he wore glasses), but they did both have very similar facial features of longer faces, pointy chins, and prominent noses, and they both had the same eye colour of soft light green, like new leaves in the springtime

Hilbert has never cared about having a good bedside manner, but he does try to be a bit extra gentle and kind with Eiffel because he's just so easily freaked out by all the medical and science stuff

Eiffel would never admit it but he really appreciates that Hilbert doesn't outwardly judge him for his jumpyness with medical/science stuff

If Hilbert had survived and gotten back to Earth with the others, he and Eiffel probably would have ended up being roommates in some shitty little apartment together for a while, while they both figure out what to do with their lives now
