How to Steal Diego Brando's Heart [Diego Brando x Reader]

Intermission: Diego Brando Fluff Alphabet

Activities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?

Diego is someone who just appreciates your presence. He likes to sit in comfortable silence with you. For example, when he does paperwork, he would love it if you laid in his lap so he could play with your hair. Another thing is that he likes when you two read together. I see him as a fast reader, so you'll probably have to keep up. Or, he'd really like it if you read to him, especially before bed - it puts him to sleep, especially after a long day. This is a given, but of course, Diego would want to take you for rides on his Silver Bullet. It'd mostly consist of silence, but there are times where the two of you would make light small talk. It gets especially memorable when the sun is setting, and you in particular start to reminisce about the Steel Ball Run days.

Beauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?

Oh, everything! You'd have to be pretty exceptional in order to capture the heart of a man such as himself. If he had to choose only one thing, he would say he admires your personality. He could have the most gorgeous woman in his bed, but the only one who is fiery enough to enrapture him is you.

Of course, he thinks you are very beautiful on the outside. But he also thinks your ability to forgive and accept others is beautiful. It really struck a chord inside him because he was always ready to use other people for he was mostly disgusted by them. But you? You made him think something like, 'Huh, there's actually a person who's genuinely kind and sweet? Guess there's an exception to my mentality now.' This trait can also infuriate him when he sees random scum trying to take advantage of you. But it's something he truly loves about you.

Comfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?

Diego is admittedly not the best at comforting. With his childhood and all, comforting and being comforted was very foreign, until he met you. It takes a bit for him to get used to it, but eventually, he gets pretty good at comforting you. It's small things - letting you sleep in, breakfast in bed, making coffee for you, going out for leisurely walks. And of course, rides on his horse, because whenever he needs to clear his mind he does that, so Diego thinks this can work for you too. He'll hold you more (in private) and let you talk for how long you want. If you really want to, he won't put up a fight if you want to hold him too. And of course, if someone is causing you to feel distressed, then uh... you won't have to worry then.

Dreams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?

Diego is marrying you. No doubt or questions about that. After that, he most definitely sees himself as the mayor of New York and you as his First Lady. He wouldn't be opposed to having a family with you too... it makes him feel warm inside. All I can picture is that regardless of what challenges and obstacles come, you two stay by each other's sides until your dying breath. (Okay, this was hard for me to think of... I'm sorry.)

Equal - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?

It's in Diego's nature to be dominant. It's just how he is, but when it comes to you, he's more lenient than you'd think. Probably because you're the only person he really likes. For the most part, he'll let you do what you want. He'll also listen to what you what to say, once again because it's you, his love, and take it into consideration. Your opinion matters the most to him. If it's within his ability, he wants to please you (and most likely only you.)

Fight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?

(Okay, this made me kinda sad.) I would like to say that Diego and you do not fight that often, you both are accepting of each other's differences and beliefs. But alas, Diego can be... rude at times, usually to other people, practically never to you. The way I could see a fight happening is perhaps after a long and especially grueling day as mayor, with a lot of occurrences of Diego having to deal with annoying people. When he comes home, his tone might be sharper and say some things that didn't turn out the right way.
