How He Stands Up For You in Public

Thank you AquaDiamondHeart9105 for the request!

Sal: Normally, Sal is very shy in public so when he stands up for it kind of shocks you. To you it's an alternative way of him saying "I love you". He doesn't like to see anyone irritate you. Other people wouldn't think of Sal as threatening the first time seeing him, but when he goes off at someone being rude to you, he will startle people. All he has to do is say,

"Listen," in a stern voice and people will feel bad and walk away. He always likes to try to comfort you after a run-in with people. You can get agitated very quickly and he knows that. He likes to try make sure that you can calm down and his soothing voice is enough to make you relax.

Q: Q doesn't usually use words to stand up for you. He is more physical when it comes to showing that he doesn't let people mess with you. In public, you and Q usually, if not always, hold hands. He loves to subtly show people that he loves you. If someone is rude to you, you will try to stand up for yourself and you don't want Q to have to get involved. There are times where he feels like he needs to jump in. He will usually hold you closer to him and give the person bothering you a dirty look. Q doesn't look like the type of person that you would want to mess with but sometimes people won't stop. If they continue, he will give you a kiss on the cheek and say,

"Come on, Y/N."

Murr: Murr is very protective of you but he is also quiet about it. He knows that you are an independent person and he is supportive of you, but sometimes it makes him feel not needed. He likes to try to be the big, strong boyfriend whenever you get messed with in public. He knows that you would be able to take care of it yourself but he always wants to help you. He can lose his temper very easily and he finds himself in not so great situations and it usually ticks off the person that he is trying to tell off. You try to tell Murr to tone it down but he insists that he tries to help you. Saying that you can deal with it doesn't usually convince him, but you try to respectfully argue with the person who started everything.

Joe: Joe is very vocal when it comes to someone bothering you. As soon as he sees that you're getting uncomfortable, he will step in by putting his arm around you in hopes that the person will realize to stop talking to you. If it gets worse, you will usually try to get closer to Joe. If that doesn't work, Joe will ask the person to stop. Joe's serious voice will usually catch the person off-guard and they will apologize. He will also shoot the person dirty looks even when they aren't talking to you anymore. He tries to emphasize the fact that he doesn't like when people mess with you.
