Comes home exhausted and ends up falling asleep in the strangest of places. Face first in his microwave lasagna meal. Half-way off the couch with the remote in his hand. Has almost drowned in a bubble bath. Poor lil dude.
Reads in the bath and unfortunately has lost many of his favorites to the tub. You end up buying him an e-reader with a water-proof case just for this reason, and he STILL brings the whole damn paperback with him. So, it’s his fault.
Texts like an old man, and when anybody makes fun of him for it he’ll respond with: 😡
Types with one finger. It’s not even his pointer finger.
Drinks a lot of tea. Like, so much tea that he has a collection that takes up an entire section of his kitchen cabinets. He has one of those tea strainers that’s shaped like a cactuar.
Would do anything to save the bees and that’s just a fact.
When he was young he was taught that it’s best to sing a song in your head while you brush your teeth to make sure you’re doing it long enough, and guess what? He still does it.
Will genuinely try to give Ignis the Amicitia brand puppy dog eyes for fried food. (It totally works, too.)
Carries around little supplies like hair bows and bobby pins because he’s so used to his little sister whining and complaining that she’s lost hers.
Gives the best hugs bc he’s so beeg and warm. Is not afraid to hug you no matter what your mood is, and he’ll swing you around until you feel better and squeal for him to stop.
Is a little bit bow legged. (But you’ll only notice if you’re staring really hard.)
Is really good at hiding when he’s anxious about something. If he has a big, important event coming up, you’d never guess that it makes him kinda nervous until you walk in on him practicing talking and smiling to people in his bathroom mirror. He’s got big boots to fill.
Amazing at making up alternative curse words bc he got so used to doing it to save his sister’s innocent baby ears. REFUSES to swear in front of children and will bop you one in the arm if you do it.
I’m sorry ya’ll but this guy can’t really dance to save his life. The only thing he knows is the formal stuff he was taught, so please don’t ask him to freestyle or else. He WILL do the worm.
If he goes to the shop with you, he refuses to leave empty handed and will stay inside until he finds something. He doesn’t care, he will die in an establishment before he’s seen without a purchase.
Wrinkles his nose like a bunny when he’s frustrated or angry.
Has a small collection of silver belt charms. They’re all shaped like things he enjoys, or stuff that reminds him of people that are important to him.
Is such a heavy sleeper that one time you dropped an entire birthday cake on him and he didn’t wake up until after everyone stopped laughing and began to clean it up. His eyes squinted open and he muttered “Is this red velvet?”
Is so ready to eat ramen at any given moment that he keeps a pair of fold-away chopsticks in his back pocket. Also a seasoning packet. Also water purification tablets just in case he needs to use lake water or smthn.
This man gets compliments all of the time from all kinds of people. Hot? He knows. Sexy? Well, duh. Strong and beautiful and amazing? Hell yeah, Gladio thinks so too. Cute though? You’re gonna call him cute? He will not know what to do with himself. He will pop out of existence and only a tomato will be left in his place.
