✮ summary: headcanons for dating matt

♤°♥,..♤°♥,.. ♤°♥,..

- definitely is not into pda. if you're in public the most he will do is hold your hand, but in private he is all over you. cuddling, hugs, head scratches, kisses

- speaking of head scratches, he absolutely looovvessss them. he'll rarely ever just upfront ask for them but he's very grateful when you do it for him

- you're the only one he lets touch his stuffed animals. he'll even move them out of the way for you so you can sit on his bed

- he will listen to you ramble about your interests any day, any time, anywhere. sometimes he'll remember things you've mentioned and he'll throw them in conversation just to see the way your eyes light up

- loves to place little pecks on your shoulder when he's passing by. you could be in the kitchen or doing work and if he sees you he'll come up just to kiss your shoulder and he'll be off. its his way of showing affection even when you two are busy with your own little things

- he's always there to listen, and he's amazing at keeping secrets. like seriously - he protects them with his life

- he doesn't drink but if you do he's 100% always by your side to make sure you don't overdo yourself

- on a similar note if you're out anywhere he'll guard your drink like it's his duty (which i guess it is). he'll cover any beverage you leave behind with his hand and he will not take his eyes off it until you're back

- he's not a fan of bugs, but for you he'll try his best to protect you if you're scared of them (totally stole this idea from dwntwn-strnlo fic)

- if you're anxious about anything or just generally not feeling well he'll try to coax you to talk to him because he knows it helps him. if you don't want to though he will not pressure you, but instead he'll share some things that's been helpful for him (e.g journaling)

- drives you everywhere. if you need him to pick you up, he's there. if you need a 2 minute trip to the shop, he's there. passenger princess ftw

- will not make fun of you for any phobias or fears. instead he'll comfort you if you need it, no matter how silly it may seem

- loves being the little spoon

- his favorite thing is hugging you from behind, something about resting his chin on your shoulder as he watches you go about your activity is just so peaceful to him (throwback to my fic 'drive-by hugs')

- sometimes he'll come over when he's feeling overwhelmed and just sit in silence either on his phone, or just watching you go about your day to day tasks

- he really loves being in your presence. it doesn't matter what you two are doing, but he does take you out often. not necessarily to anything fancy but you've had quite a few picnic/stargazing dates here and there. the beach is totally a common date spot for you two

- family means everything to him so he probably introduced you to his mom and dad pretty early on. he was there the whole time holding your hand to ease your nerves

- if you draw (or even if you don't) he loves when you doodle on him. it reminds him of getting a tattoo, and the feeling of your hands gently grazing ink across his skin calms him down

- you in general - just being there - always calms him down

- loves to bury you in the sand if you ever get a beach day. sometimes he'll get buried next to you and you'll just talk as you giggle at Nick and Chris fighting in the water (really random one idk)

- to him you're his safe space. he knows he can always come to you with a problem, and you'll do the same

- he never needs to feel overwhelmed or that he needs to try too hard around you. with you he's just Matt, and he loves that
