Tolkien Elven Imagines and Headcanons Volume 1

164. Dating Mairon

A/N: Breaking some very obvious canon with this, and leaving you to decide if it's before the seduction by Melkor or if Mairon had gone back to Valinor and asked the Valar for forgiveness and accepted the penance OR if it's an AU.

* * *

- If you're dating Mairon, then he very deeply and genuinely loves and cares for you as he won't commit himself to just anyone.

- With that said because he loves you so much, Mairon is fiercely loyal and devoted to everything that there is about you. Probably to a borderline worshipful level.

- Mairon has a tough, hard and prideful exterior that he displays to everyone, including you, so he's not very soft as a whole. But he's very intoxicating to be around regardless of his not so soft exterior.

- Instead most of the things that Mairon does to show you he loves you is with an air of confidence and pridefulness, even with physical affection especially if he knows he has such intense effects over you.

- Though in another breath, Mairon can be unintentionally aloof and cold once he gets started on a project as he can be one track minded. His more determined nature coming out to try and finish the project that has captured his attention at all costs.

- In a normal every day project he's less likely to be so cold and aloof. Able to keep himself from getting so wrapped up in it.

- He makes up for it of course in his own way, his pride is massive and doesn't really let give him the room to really verbally apologize.

- Easily he falls back into that pattern of devotion and love for you to make up for his absence and the frigid shoulder he had.

- This can come in the way of physical gifts, be it that he crafted or he saw and wanted to give you. It can also range to making up for it in physical affections as well, with intense kisses and strong and warm embraces.

- Because of how fiercely loyal Mairon is to you, there's really not going to be a whole lot that he will tolerate from anyone else when it comes to someone speaking ill things of you, this makes him protective and possessive over you.

- Mairon is very aloof in appearance as he listens to you explain it or to whatever someone else is saying about you before he handles it. Only then when he starts to address the situation does his distaste and anger clearly start to show through.

- You certainly won't ever have to worry about anyone trying to physically harm you as he is utterly terrifying when angry.

- Mairon has great patience, so he won't lash out physically on impulse or do so rashly out of vengeance, as Mairon prefers cat and mouse type mental games against your attackers.

- Your would be attackers have plenty of sense to question their decisions and leave them as just mere wicked thoughts than actions.

- So you'll never have to worry about whether your safety will be an issue.

- One thing you'd have to be on your guard about with Mairon is that he can be manipulative, and usually it is with your concern and safety in mind.

- Really he could just ask or tell you, but he doesn't. Though if you confront him on it, for a while he will leave it be, though old habits die hard. It's something you'll have to have a serious talk about.

- Another thing Mairon loves to know, is that you rely entirely on him for a lot of things, you won't really have to worry about taking care of anything yourself if you don't want too.

- Mairon loves that you depend on him as well as need him for things, he's happy and content to take over many things for you.
