- Auston would be such a soft boyfriend
- he never really falls in love
- but when he does he falls hard
- like dreamy heart-eyes extraordinaire
- he's bad at talking about feelings
- especially his feelings
- so he either ignores them or tries to change the topic
- especially if it's about serious stuff because he'd like to avoid negative emotions at all cost
- his distraction tactics range on the ridiculous
- Auston tries to surprise you with pancakes for breakfast exactly once
- he burns them completely and never tries to make them again
- loves to spoil you though
- not in a "buying your love" kinda way
- but in a "I saw this and thought of you so I got it for you do you like it ?" kinda way
- just random small things
- drags you hiking sometimes
- especially when you're in arizona with his family
- it's really beautiful
- and he makes you a little bouquet out of wildflowers
- because he read somewhere that chicks dig that stuff
- he's correct tho
- his family absolutely adores you
- they were a bit wary when Auston told them he fell in love but once they met you they knew you were the perfect couple
- they could see how deeply you care for each other and that it wasn't just another fling
- knows you'll end up stealing all his hoodies so he buys a lot
- wears them until they're soft and smell like him
- then sneaks them into your things
- you love finding all the hoodies he hid for you when he's on a roadtrip
- gets you matching accessories
- but he loves your his and hers Cartier bracelets just the same as the friendship bracelets you made for him while babysitting teammates kids on date night
- okay maybe he likes the one you made way more but it's made with love obviously that's better
- his attempt at making one is questionable at best but he tried his hardest so you love him
- you still wear it proudly because your boyfriend is the cutest
- he orders food a lot because he doesn't want neither of you to cook so much but when you do you'll cook together
- he's really good at chopping up vegetables
- and you're really good at playing nurse when he accidentally cuts his fingers
- he will definitely insist you kiss it better
- same goes for hockey injuries
- Auston just gets a bit needy when he's hurt
- lots of cuddles and kisses and attention
- he likes it when the guys and their partners can all hang out with you but he's not really a double date guy
- group environments are chill but romance environments are a two people thing for him
- maybe it's because he's a bit embarrassed by how in love he is
- the only people that reaqlly know how much of a fool he is for you are his family, the Marleau's, the Tavares's, and maybe Mitch
- okay that's a lie
- all of his teammates know
- because he never shuts up about you
