#though i am a sucker for a good old babe and darlin for no personal bias reasons at all

I can't believe people don't like pet names, or reading fanfictions where pet names are in them. Weak.

I love your work! It's really good! can I ask you to do some corny and fluffy headcanons with Leon?

YES ABSOLUTELY TOOTLY I LOVE THIS SHIT!

Oh he’s a hopeless romantic, it’s just that no one would suspect it cause of his rough edges. So when he falls for you he FALLS. Even HUNNIGAN notices, and most of the time she’s too busy working. But it’s just from the look in his eyes, the way he grins when you speak.

“God I’m fucked.”

When you do start dating him, it’s even better.

MASSIVE DAD DANCER

“Why you laughing, huh? What, you don’t appreciate my dancing? Am I too old school for you?”

Loves just lazily holding you in his arms in the kitchen, especially in the morning. Keeps the radio going so he can dorkily sway with you, make you smile.

My god he LOVES making you laugh. His FAVOURITE THING.

Adores taking you on ‘adventures’. Late night rides on his motorbike, out in some secluded part of the city. Listening to you laugh and yell out over the engine in glee. God how he loves your laugh.

Insists on letting you experience every romantic trope. You want to kiss in the rain? Done. (As long as he can give you his jacket so you don’t get cold) Traditional romantic dinner? The reservations are set. Picnic in the park? He’s already asking what you want him to bring. Fair date? He is WINNING YOU that giant stuffed bear.

“Watch and learn, babe. I’m bout to kick this carnie’s ass.”

Random flowers to your door when he’s away on missions. If he’s feeling especially corny, he brings them himself when he comes home.

“Scuse me, lovely. Did you by any chance order a devilishly handsome delivery man?”

Very competitive, but often lets you win in certain circumstances. Arm wrestling especially. Mario Kart, not so much. That man gets a blue shell to the face and takes that shit personally. Will very much throw you over his shoulder and pretend to be mad if you beat him.

“Nnnnnnope I call bullshit! That’s impossible!”

Every time he gets home from a mission he just loves to hold you. He picks you up off the ground and spins you around until you’re a giggling mess against his lips.

Despite what everyone at the DSO thinks, he’s just such a goofball. That man is a walking teddy bear.

Casual goofy nicknames include goober and babe. He calls you goober just to piss you off, honestly.

‘Sweetheart’ ‘Love’ ‘Baby’ ‘Darlin’ ‘Gorgeous’ ‘Lovely’ ‘Angel’ ‘Princess’ ‘Beautiful’ ‘Handsome’ ‘Babydoll’ ‘Sunshine’ and when he’s feeling particularly corny ‘Heaven’ or ‘Amore’ (his silly little Italian American ass got you giggling, you can’t lie)

He’ll just sit and admire you as you sleep. How peaceful you look. God, you’re his peace. Every breath crashes over him like a wave. Especially in the morning when the sun hits you. That’s when he swears you’re a heavenly being.

“Have I mentioned that I love you?”

‘Only a dozen times.’

“That still doesn’t feel like enough times. I love you.”

Lets you do his hair, and vice versa. If you’ve got long enough hair he is set on trying to learn to put it in a bun for you. He’s the proudest fucker once he gets it right, too.

“Look if you don’t take a photo of it, I will. That’s my best work yet.”

If it’s shorter, he’s helping with texture. He will gladly sit there and scruff up your hair lovingly so it’s nice and wavy, or help straighten it. He’s awful with a curling iron though.

Is a sucker if he sees you in his clothes. Just loves holding you while you’re wearing his shirts.

“I think it looks better on you anyway.”

This- this man can’t cook. Despite being Italian-American, all he can really make is like pasta. Cliche really. He can grill well though, man makes a mean steak.

“Feel like I should be wearing one of those ‘kiss the cook’ aprons.”

He LOVES having his hair played with. Please do it. Hold his face. Tell him how much he means to you. After years without much praise or basic human affection, all he needs is some words of affirmation and a little loving.

“Thank you, sweetheart. You don’t know how much you mean to me.”
