Waylon For The Love Headcanons, Pretty Please?

Waylon for the love headcanons, pretty please?

Send me a character and I’ll reply with my headcanons…

When they discover they’re got a crush: It comes gradually. Real gradually. Like, slower than molasses on a hot summer day kinda gradual. Waylon has spent most of his life alone. So, to realize that what he’s feeling very well might be something other than acknowledgement of your presence, is...kind of scary. He’s never felt like this before, for anyone.

How they confess/hint: He’s pretty upfront with you about it. But in a very awkward way. After all, he’s never really had the chance to explore this kind of thing before, so he doesn’t really know how things are supposed to work. The most he can offer you is a very raggedy, crumpled attempt at a bouquet and a half-assed confession. Give him credit, he’s trying, at the very least. This is very new territory for him.

Big gestures of love: Making an effort to get out into the world more and stop hiding himself away like the recluse that he is. He can’t live in the sewers of Gotham forever.

Little gestures of love: Filing down his claws so he can hold you without leaving scratches. Making his home “presentable” when you come over to visit. Finding and giving you things that he thinks (and hopes) you’ll like.

How to win their heart: Treat him like a regular human being. Give him the respect he wants and deserves. Just don’t treat him any differently, like everyone else does. It’s such a small, basic request, but you’d be shocked how many people find even that to be too much.

How to break their heart: Make fun of him in pretty much any way. He knows he’s a freak, he doesn’t need to be constantly reminded of it, much less by someone he was stupid enough to trust.

Tiny little turn-ons: When you run your nails down the seams in-between his scales. Especially on his less guarded areas, like his stomach and chest.

Big turn-ons: Being bitten. I know with hide like his it seems like a meaningless gesture. But when he feels your blunt little teeth digging into his thick skin, trying to leave some sort of impression, he can’t stop himself from letting out a growl of pleasure that rumbles through his whole body.

Things that make their heart flutter: The fact that you treat him like you would anyone else. That you trust him with your safety. That you respect his boundaries and that you care about the things that make him happy.

Their type: If you asked, he’d probably say someone smaller than him, because he’s a fan of size-differences...but let’s be real. Everyone is smaller than him.

Ideal date: He doesn’t have a preference. Somewhere quiet, probably. Not a lot of people around. Somewhere peaceful. Other than that, he doesn’t care.

Past relationships: He “dated” Mary Dahl for a short time, though it was a bit more of a one-sided relationship on her end that he wasn’t fully aware he was supposed to be a part of.

How they might affect current relationships: He’s pretty wary of people in general, especially those that try to rush into things. He likes to take it slow.

‘Goals’ in a relationship (marriage, kids, a house, etc): Even if he did have any future goals, he knows none of them would ever work out for him. He’s...y’know, a giant, man-eating mutant. Not to mention a wanted criminal. A ‘Normal’ life isn’t something within his grasp.

Any other love headcanons: Though he’s got a tough time opening up emotionally, in a relationship with him, Communication is Key.
