Maritime Memory (Various Splatoon/Coroika Drafts)

How they show their love (P2)

Army

- Aggressive mom friend has evolved into less aggressive mom boyfriend. He shows his love by taking care of you. Like, he'll make and send lunches for you when you're going out for the day. Would happily make all of your meals if he could, in fact. He takes great pride in the fact that you enjoy his cooking. 

- While he does enjoy taking care of you, he knows you're fully capable of doing it yourself. There are times when he'll back off and give you space. During these periods, Army settles with giving you reminders throughout the day so you don't forget anything important.

- Gets soft for you in general. Pet names like "dear" or "honey" slip out so easily, it's honestly alarming how differently he treats you. He has a quick temper and a no nonsense policy around others, but he gets much more patient with you. 

Aloha

- I'm sure you saw it coming from a mile away- He is very flirty, even after you get into a official relationship. Sometimes he approaches you and goes like "Who's this sweet thing right here~?" Pretending this is the first time you've ever met lol. His flirting is never-ending. 

- Can also be pretty handsy. When you stand next to him, his first instinct is wrap an arm around your waist and just pull you in for a big hug. Take advantage of those, his hugs are fantastic! 

- Aloha hates seeing you upset. He understands that sometimes it can't be helped, but that doesn't stop him from trying to cheer you up! He'll ✨zoom✨ to wherever you are and begin thinking of ways to make you smile. 

Mask

- He isn't naturally enthusiastic to begin with, so it doesn't seem like much at first. You honestly just hang out in his room and chill together. He doesn't care how long you stay for, and you have full access to all his games. This probably results in lots of sleepovers at his place. 

- Is always protective over you even if in public. If someone sus (😳 ???imposter??? 😳) comes around, he sits next to you and glares at them. The most PDA you'll get is maybe linking arms while you're sitting together. 

- Again, it doesn't seem like much at first. But when you start to build trust with him, you'll see sides of him that nobody else gets to see. Like taking off his gas mask, or even smiling if you're convincing enough. Only in private, though.

Skull

- One of his biggest flaws is that he's terrible at conveying emotion. So even though he does love you and wants you to know that, everything he does low-key comes off as awkward. Such as those times when he randomly offers to share a dessert with you or tries to say "I love you" without actually saying it. 

- What he doesn't understand is that it's already plain to see in his behavior. Usually, Skull has this tough and scary act, but with you? His dumb dork/himbo side shows itself. That intimidating factor just kinda melts away in your presence. 

- He also makes more of an effort to pay attention to you. He tries to remember all of your likes, dislikes, interests, etc. It's kinda strange when he abruptly says "You like (insert random thing), right?" But he's simply trying to jog his memory. 

Emperor

- In the beginning, he shows his love by showering you in gifts. Don't get me wrong! They're all incredibly nice and expensive, he'll definitely leave you feeling grateful. But... It's still a bit hard to appreciate it when he doesn't spend much time with you.

- Luckily, it won't be like that forever. Eventually he comes to understand that money isn't everything and does other things too. He'll start letting you sit on his lap while he's on his throne, and takes you out on plenty of dates. (He's still definitely Team Money though)
