Affection (How do you show it?):
Throwing things at each other could be one way to put it. There's a lot of joking around, but it's all written in your eyes, really. Anyone passing by would feel it.
Best friend (What would you be like as each other's best friend?):
Sorry to tell you, but there's no way this guy can keep a secret. You would definitely have lots of fun together, but it wouldn't be one of those deep, intimate friendships. Also because you're both brutally candid and none of you would ever compromise. To be honest, how you keep a romantic relationship going with this kid is beyond me.
Cuddles (Do you like to cuddle? How? And such):
He'd never admit it, but he loves it. He literally curls in your lap like a cat and every feathered touch of your fingers makes his eyelids flutter because of how relaxed and safe he feels when you share those moments. It works perfectly for you because you're not really one for cuddles, but giving fits you way better than receiving in this case.
Domestic (How do you feel about settling down? Do you like staying in? What about chores/housekeeping?):
He stays in more than you do, with his "online jobs" and stuff, and he usually keeps the place pretty tidy. Well, as long as he spends his time in a chair. The minute he's up and walking around, havoc is wrecked on the poor house, but at least you always manage to have fun cleaning up together somehow.
Effort (Do you put in the work?):
Something was off at first. He took you for granted one too many times, so you reacted accordingly. One look at the possibility of losing you was enough to make him never miss a single beat after that, and now you're both equally putting in the work.
First (Are you each other's first in any scenario?):
You'd both been in relationships before - short and quite meaningless for him, not bound to last for you either. But you're still each other's first "I love you", both told and received.
Gentleman (sfw version):
Guys, c'mon. He's a kid. He actually still races you places and gives you dares whenever you have to do something. It's a "You're an idiot"/"No, you are"/"No, you are" kind of thing. He's yet to be a man, let alone a gentle one.
Horror (What are you scared of?):
Insects, heights, and Carlos Sainz Jr aside, he's terrified of losing you. But he's even more afraid of disappointing you, which is very sweet. He values your opinion insanely high, and since he likes the version of himself that your presence in his life turned him into, he's scared he might make a mistake that would change his new-found balance.
As much as you love to joke with him, sometimes you're scared you might say the wrong thing or go too far as to hurt him. You do make fun of him a lot (A LOT), but there's nothing you hate more than seeing him sad, and you definitely wouldn't want to be the reason behind it.
Insecure (What are you insecure about? Do you know about each other's insecurities? How do you react?):
It took some time for you to get this out of him, but he often gets insecure about his height. Once you knew, you stopped wearing high heels. He didn't ask you to do that, and when you stopped, he tried to convince you that it wasn't necessary, but you were so adamant about it, mostly because you couldn't find the point in wearing those torturous shoes anyway. Also, they kind of made you feel more uncomfortably aware of your muscled calves, so it really worked for both of you in the end.
