Sanders Sides Headcanons

Cuteness multi

HC: When Patton has trouble expressing his emotions verbally, he'll do things physically. If he's just really happy, he'll start flapping his arms up and down. If he's really scared, his shoulders move up and down. Etc

- Patton being easily overwhelmed and going nonverbal for a bit because it's too much feelings but he still wants to express how he feels

- waving his hands about, hitting people rapidly like 'did you see that! Isn't that cute! Dog!'

- smacking people lightly, or a bit harder than he intended, to get their attention and almost sharading something out ('okay, two words...')

- his face scrunching in frustration and he gets really close to someone to try and 'tell' them what he's thinking and even if they don't get it they say they do to make him feel better

- holding his hands close to his chest, fingers slotting together, when he's nervous or scared and someone might come and hold his hands or put their hands over his or hug him to try and make him feel better

---------------------

HC: The sides have a small blackboard hung up the kitchen wall that no one hasn't ever really paid too much attention to, until someone at one point decided to leave mysterious massages on it... Turns out, it was just person A trying to convince the others that a mighty entity wanted them to adopt five puppies. (It totally didn't work *wink*)

- they obtain it with intentions of writing important notes down but they forget about it quickly until someone starts writing on it all of a sudden, they're not really sure who though

- and poor Patton only wants some doggos so starts leaving little hints on the board like 'five' (and they think it's a countdown), 'please' (does someone need help?), and 'soon!' does it, freaking the other three out

- and Patton not understand what he's done until they all tell him if they've seen the strange messages and him being like 'seen them? I wrote them' and the other three facepalming and calming down telling Patton not to do that again because it scared them

- Patton apologising and then asking directly if he can have five puppies and they still say no, he pouts for days (but maybe the do get him one singular puppy to cheer him up)

---------------------

HC: One of the sides is trans and menstruating, and his boyfriends help him deal with his dysphoria.

- they know it's coming and they feel the phantom pains, mentally cursing themself. Then the bleeding comes and they just want to collapse and cry for days but no they have to get on with life and pretending everything's fine

- but the dysphoria coming and they just crack, crying in the middle of the common room and falling to their knees, muttering about how they're in pain and they're not a real boy and they wouldn't be surprised if the others left him

- and the others are sad now because their boyfriend is sad. Doing all they can to make him better - shoving food and drinks at him, cuddling him, giving him blankets and watching movies with him - they know it won't fix the problems but it's a momentary distraction and makes him feel loved

----------------------

imagine this: when Patton and Virgil have had a Bad Day™ they trade hoodies and cuddle together in a pillow/blanket-fort, with cookies, hot chocolate and Lilo and Stitch, and they end op falling asleep crying and hugging.

- Virgil being in a Bad Mood but realising Patton is also sad/a little angry/feeling bad inside makes him instantly go on high alert, keeping an eye out for anyone/anything that will upset his dad

- and Virgil asking if they can hang out, pretending he doesn't know Patton is feeling bad or maybe just hinting at it. And Patton is 1000% cool with hanging out with his son anytime

- they make cookies and cupcakes and hot chocolate, prepare to watch movies and build a pillow fort that maybe fails and ends up with them huddled under loads of blankets while they eat stuff and lean against each other

- when they're done eating, Virgil just inching a little closer to hug Patton and Patton just dying because Virgil initiated the contact and because he's feeling too much and he just breaks down crying and Virgil just keeping holding him until he tires himself out and they fall asleep with movies still playing in the background

----------------------

HC: The first time Roman and Virgil kiss, it was because they were angry with each other, yelling and glaring and throwing slander. Roman kissed him to shut Virgil up. And so began the angsty relationship lol.

- they do get on nowadays but they still get into stupid petty arguments that are both funny and full of anger at the same time - they will scream and get into each other's personal space even if they're just arguing about ice cream flavours

- and one day them having an argument that Virgil is obviously winning and Roman being a little shit and a sore loser kisses Virgil to shut him up, it's risky but it's how Roman really feels - only Virgil thinks it's just to stop the argument (which it does) but then he goes to his room and cries over how Roman will never like him back and how the kiss meant nothing

- and Roman feeling so, so guilty but Virgil just keeps shutting him out. So him forcing his way in and spewing out a not practiced love confession where's he's not cool or charming or romantic but he's open and honest with Virgil and almost in tears at the end because he really wants Virgil to believe him

- he does believe him

- he kisses him again

- that counts as their real first kiss, they like to ignore that the other one happened even though they laugh about it in the future

----------------------

HC: Logan won't let any of the other Sides into his room because he has those glow in the dark star stickers on the ceiling, in actual constellations, and he's afraid they'll think he's childish.

- as much as Logan inistis he's a dead set, straight laced, sensible adult, he is such a child sometimes - he enjoys indulging that side in himself especially if it collides with his interests

- those space/stars glow in the dark stickers? Yep. Little models of planets, the human body, molecular structures? Yep. his own drawings of things? Yep, but they're hidden because he too finds them cringy

- but the others inevitably finding out and thinking it's adorable. Virgil likes to come in and relax with him with the lights off so they can see the constellations and Logan can talk to him about them. Roman helps him draw more accurate things, even though they have stylistic preferences (Logan is more into realism than Roman). And Patton is just happy to look at anything Logan is doing at that moment and sometimes dragging him away when he knows what's best for him

---------------------

HC: Logan has to ask Roman for help with romantic ideas for Patton bc he's bad at them but Roman won't stop it with the dirty jokes and Logan is blushing even more when he leaves

- Logan hates that he needs to ask for help but he has zero romantic skills or experience so he's kind of stuck so if he wants to do something special for Patton he needs to ask Roman for help

- so Logan stumbling over his words and blushing because he's not used to asking for help especially not from Roman and Roman just smirks and lets him struggle before sighing and letting Logan into his room so he can help him

- and Roman does help him planning gifts and dates for a long while but he doesn't stop talking constantly going on about how inexperienced Logan is and he hopes he isn't in other departments otherwise it'll be a real let down for Patton, suggesting he better be good in bed to make up for his lack of romance etc. and just little petty comments

- he goes on and on until Logan's bright red but he takes the date notes from Roman (he specifically asked for them to be written down) and leaves - maybe going straight to Patton's room and flopping face down on his bed to hide his flush but Patton calling him adorable and kissing him sweetly. Logan spills what Roman said and, after reassuring Logan, Patton does show him he's good in bed
