Logan Howlett:

How they react to you flinching during an argument:

The moment your body instinctively flinches, Logan's eyes widen, his gruff exterior immediately softening. He's no stranger to his own temper, but seeing your reaction forces him to confront a side of himself he hates. His hands, which had been clenched in frustration, slowly uncurl as guilt spreads across his features. He takes a step back, his hardened expression dissolving into regret. The anger that had been simmering in his eyes is replaced by an almost pained concern. He knows he's been through too much violence in his life, and seeing you react like this makes him wonder if he's becoming too much like the beast he fears. Quietly, he lowers his head, struggling to find the words or actions to reassure you, but his remorse hangs heavily in the air.

How they react to you having a nightmare:

Logan wakes up the moment you start stirring, his heightened senses picking up on your distress before you're even fully awake. When you jolt upright, breathing hard, his arm instinctively wraps around you, pulling you into his side. "Easy, darlin'," he murmurs in that gravelly voice, his breath warm against your ear. "Just a nightmare. I'm right here." He doesn't ask what it was about, knowing you'll share if you want to, but his hand gently rubs up and down your arm, grounding you. "Ain't nothing getting past me," he reassures, his words gruff but comforting. "Go on, try to sleep. I'll keep watch."

How you sleep:

Nights with Logan are a mix of calm and intensity. His protective instincts are always present, even in sleep. He holds you close, almost like a shield, his arm draped heavily across your waist, a reminder of his strength and vulnerability. The heat from his body is constant, his skin warm against yours as he unconsciously pulls you nearer throughout the night. Sometimes, you'll wake to feel him stirring slightly, restless dreams of battles and memories flickering in his mind, but the moment he feels your presence, his body softens, relaxing into the comfort of having you by his side. His breathing becomes steady and deep, and the world outside seems to fade away in the safety of his embrace.

How they react when they are jealous:

When Logan gets jealous, it's obvious. His usually calm, brooding demeanor shifts into something more possessive and protective. He stands a little closer than usual, his eyes dark and narrowed as they track every movement of the person drawing your attention away. He doesn't say anything—he doesn't need to. His body language speaks volumes as he wraps an arm around you, pulling you in with a firm grip, making sure everyone around knows who you belong to. His claws might not come out, but the tension in his muscles suggests they're ready, simmering just beneath the surface. Later, when you're alone, his touch softens, but the intensity of his gaze remains, as if he's making sure you remember that he's always there, always ready to fight for you.

How they react when you get hurt:

Logan's immediate reaction is pure instinct, his sharp senses picking up the change in your scent, the rush of blood. His chest tightens, but he channels his fear into action, fiercely protective. He's beside you in a flash, his rough exterior masking the storm of emotions churning beneath. His hands, normally so strong, become surprisingly gentle as he assesses your injury, the sight of your pain stirring something deep within him. He blames himself for not being there sooner, for not stopping this before it happened. Though he rarely lets people in, seeing you hurt is a reminder of the vulnerability that comes with caring about someone. The thought of losing you drives his anger to the surface, but he bottles it up, focusing on getting you to safety. Later, in the quiet moments, the anger will fade, replaced by a silent, unspoken vow to never let this happen again.
