Art (esp Dilf!Art) likes to do that thing where he turns on some music and comes to you with a glass of wine or champagne and a smug smile on his face.

He’ll grab your hand and plant a little kiss on it before basically tugging you to dance with him.

He likes to play a lot of oldies. Think the Temptations (my girl), old Stevie Wonder songs like My Cherie Amour, Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding. (He spent a lot of time with his grandma, and she’d play a lot of this music so he has a fondness for it)

He probably collects records tbh, so it’s a regular thing of his. He enjoys having soft background music. He’ll play it while cooking a meal or doing household chores.

Art knows how to cook and will often cook meals for his significant other. I’m dying on this hill.

But oftentimes he just likes to grab you spontaneously and gently sway to the music. Especially if you’re stressed or in a low mood. It’s his way of cheering you up or getting you out of bed and moving around.
