Moon Knight Imagine 3

83. more steven grant headcanons?

Steven talks to inanimate objects when he thinks no one is paying attention. like, apologizing to a table if he bumps into it, giving a potted plant words of encouragement, singing at a candle as he lights it kind of thing

he picked up the habit when he got Gus and it just kind of bled into any and all items. doesn't matter if they have consciousness or not

he Can't Stand the godfather movies

[cue "didn't like the godfather" family guy bit]

he loves cheesy romcom movies, but he doesn't normally go out of his way to see them

i actually don't even think i saw a tv anywhere in his apartment in the show?? correct me if i'm wrong lol

he doesn't watch tv what a nerd

he wholeheartedly thought that "Brangelina" was a whole person and not a celebrity ship name

He read 50 Shades because a college age coworker recommended it to him. The next day he stole the book from her bag and burned it in the dumpster behind the museum and never mentioned it to her ever again

That was the one and only crime he ever willingly committed

He thinks tarot cards are so fucking cool but he's afraid to pick them up. He thinks he's gonna get cursed or some shit

As if he doesn't have a literal egyptian god breathing down his neck

i feel like the way you really catch Steven's attention romantically is by giving him vegan options for lunch

like he's lamenting one day about the lack of vegan food immediately around work and then you go home and whip up some vegan spaghetti and "meatballs" for the two of you the next day and he just like. actually screeches inside a lil bit

bc who the fuck just?? makes their coworker lunch? for free? without expecting anything in return and just eats it with them lady and the tramp style?

after that he's looking for a way to ask you out but you end up beating him to the punch. that's when you go out for drinks

He'd be honest with you about Marc from the very beginning. The man has never lied to anyone ever in his life and he's not going to start now

he's flabbergasted when you understand because no one really has been understanding with him about his condition before

he's also so shy when it comes to you actually showing him affection and it shows most when you call him "pretty" or "beautiful"

there's a moment when you call him "gorgeous" and he actually gets choked up a bit it's fine everything's fine

he loves to watch you working, and if you're just up and focused on your work he stays up to watch you

he doesn't know if you've noticed it or if you're too engrossed in what you're doing to realize that he hasn't actually gone to bed when he should have

he's too busy watching the cogs literally turning in your head. steven loves to pick apart your microexpressions, he feels like it makes it easier for him to know what you're thinking at a moments notice

when you do notice that he's doing it and you ask him why, he just says "you don't really know someone until you've seen them working, y'know?"

which you guess is true, but that's the most cryptic way he could have said that

there was a very short stint where he tried learning sleight of hand because he got really into some books about houdini once

because of this he knows a number of crazy card tricks

he never really thought it was cool until you tell him it is

"It's not- it's not that cool" "No do you understand how much sex magicians get. Like seriously"

he's a little bit allergic to bananas but he still eats them. like how lactose intolerant people will just eat ice cream and then shrug when it gives them ibs

he likes to hold your head in his lap and twirl your hair when he reads. he falls a little bit more in love with you when it makes you fall asleep

he also really loves it when you wear red lipstick because he thinks the comical lipstick marks you leave on his face are cute

in an even more primal way, he likes to see your red lipstick all messed up. it turns him on like nothing else
