Author's Note: I struggled so much with this as you can tell, it's very inconsistent with the way he acts and his personality. It was hard for me to write this because I want to make wholesome content because I write to cope, but ya' know...it's fucking Makarov, which makes it complicated to do that. But I kinda hate writing toxic stuff because I've had to deal with toxic and even abusive relationships irl and I genuinely can't take it anymore and want a break 💀 So yes, I'm aware that this is probably VERY out of character. I apologize in advance.

✩ As most would probably expect, he wasn't the most affectionate type of guy in the beginning. He wasn't sure how to show love in the ways people would expect to see in a relationship. Before you, he didn't even consider the idea of caring for another person. It's a miracle that he was even able to find someone he actually loves and can care for, he just struggles with showing it sometimes.
✩ It's possible for him to show a lot of love and affection towards you, you just have to work it out of him a bit. He doesn't always show his love in a traditional way. You'll eventually realize how he shows affection differently and grow to love it. He can have a soft side to him, but it takes some work to make him show it.
✩ He takes care of you, he might not be the best at it, but you can appreciate that he's trying his best. He definitely spoils you though, you'll have all the nice materialistic things you want if you ask for it. That's the main way he provides and cares for you.
✩ He can be VERY affectionate and intimate if you can get it out of him.
✩ When it comes to physical affection such as cuddling, and hugs, he is not opposed to it at all and actually enjoys it very much, he just doesn't know how to go about it or initiate it. But if you ask, you will receive.
✩ For kisses, it's a whole other story. It's one of the things he can actually initiate and knows how to do well. You expect to be kissed by him all the time. If you walk into the room, he's gonna kiss your lips before you say a word. He leaves hickeys all over you as a way to show that you're his. He can kiss you till his lips are sore.
✩ He likes to massage and kiss your shoulders and neck while feeling your body up whenever you sit in his lap with your back to him. He is very seductive and lustful when doing this.
✩ He wants to marry you because he likes the idea of having you all to himself and making you his. He would get you a nice ring when he proposes in hopes it will make you more likely to say yes.
✩ When it comes to being family-oriented, it's kinda iffy. It's not something he would ever think about bringing up, so don't expect him to. He doesn't really see the point, but on the other hand, he also likes the idea of having a son to take his place one day. If you were to ask him about it or found out you were pregnant, he would be very taken aback. It would take a lot of adjusting for him and he would have no idea what he's supposed to do.
✩ Arguments do happen, but not often. He hates when you yell at him or get angry at him and he hates yelling at you. He refuses to listen to you if you're yelling at him. When having disagreements he acts very entitled. But he always has this strange feeling after arguing, not realizing it's guilt.
✩ He can be gentle with you and most of the time he is very gentle with you compared to how he normally is with other people. Though entitled and stubborn, he still has a soft spot for you. And no matter what he always finds himself needing you.
✩ He doesn't really plan any other types of dates besides taking you out to fancy restaurants. He thinks expensive equals good. He also likes how he gets to see you all dressed up for a nice dinner.
✩ He refuses to admit when he gets jealous, but you can tell when he is by the way he gets super close and possessive over you.
✩ It took him a little bit of time to start calling you pet names and nicknames. For the first few months, he's only called you by your name. Now he calls you Princess which was kinda unexpected and also calls you Love. Most of the other names he calls you are in Russian.
✩ When he compliments you, it's very lustful. It's usually compliments on your body. Usually saying how sexy he thinks you look and what he wants to do to you. He will not hold back with the details.
✩ He's not very open and is hard to read most of the time.
✩ PDA is something he's always done. He doesn't care who is around, it will not stop him from getting close to you in public, hugging you, kissing you and even feeling your body up. He has no shame.
✩ He knows that by being with him, your safety can be put at risk. So he makes sure you are safe all the time. Sometimes he sends Andrei out with you as a guard, but he taught you self-defense and how to be on the lookout when you're out alone. For the longest time, he debated on keeping your relationship a secret out of fear someone would hurt you to get to him.
