Request: oh ok well the concept was boxer!Tom just being soft for his artist!gf and he thinks she’s so precious and pure and he brags about her talent to his boxing buddies and they’re like yeah you’re a lucky dude lol. I was kinda hoping u could write something about it but u don’t have to:)
A/N: Idk I feel like this would be a cool series tbh but I didn’t know how I’d do a one-shot so here’s a headcanon!
masterlist // tag list
- OKAY so boxer!Tom
- he’s not exactly “soft” usually
- like normally he’s kind of all about the gym
- and wants to keep more to himself and boxing buddies
- doesn’t really show much affection
- his head is just with the sport, ya know?
- BUT
- then he met you
- and the boy was suddenly softer than a puppy
- but only around you
- you’d met somewhere like a Subway when he was on his way home from the gym
- he’d seen you the second he walked in and just became totally infatuated with how concentrated you were on your art
you were bored while you waited on a friend- so he asked you on a date
- which was a little bit of mess
- he was nervous which doesn’t happen much but it’s you
- anyway
- y’all had gone on a few dates
- and even though you guys are pretty different
- you clicked
- he told you about his boxing
- partially because he liked talking about it
- and because you wanted to know why his knuckles looked roughed up all the time
- and he asked about your art
- like
- when i say asked
- i mean just wanted to see EVERYTHING
- and never let you stop talking about it
- so that was the start of a beautiful relationship
- he’d asked to make it official
- after you picked him up from the gym one day
- he had been wanting to
- but there was something with the way you had graphite on your nose
- and ink smeared on your hands
- that made him just blurt out of the question
- to which you agreed without hesitation
- now your dates
- your dates were literally anything between staying inside cuddled on the couch
- and going on fancy night outs
- tom was more of a fan of just cuddling
- especially if that meant you were going to draw
- but that’s not all
- which totally lead you trying to teach him to draw a few things
- it was mostly laughing and tom giving you the sweetest smile
- needless to say
- he can’t draw and should stick to boxing
- anyway because he’s so into your art
- you wanted to be into his favorite thing
- so you end up going to the gym with him sometimes
- and he teaches you some boxing
- which you’d think he’d be a little “”harsh”” on
- ya know since he knows it and he wants you to do well
- but nah
- this boy is SOFT
- like encouraging words and
- “That was really great, love.”
- “Can you try this, darlin?”
- “This rate, you’ll be kicking my ass.”
- and his boxing buddies happen to overhear
- and see the way he looks at you
- because it’s basically the definition of heart eyes
- so ya know they’re all like ??? because wow he’s actually affectionate??
- and when you’re not around
- all tom does is BRAG about you
- a few times you made him a lunch/snack
- and you always draw on his napkins
- it started as a joke from your first date
- you said something about always doodling in class when you were in school
- and he asked you to doodle something
- but all you guys had were napkins and a pen you kept in your purse
- so you made it work and drew a quick doodle for him
- so instead of being embarrassed he literally just BEAMS
- and shows his friends
- “Look! My girlfriend drew this!”
- “She’s so talented.”
- “Isn’t this amazing?”
- And it’s just little two minute doodles
- spoiler: tom keep ALL of them
- his friends kind of laugh about it
- but not to make fun of him but more in the “wow someone is head over heels” way
- and a few times, his friends have actually told him how lucky he is
- and asked if you had any friends
- because like you keep tom mellow
- and just make him better
- he just loves you and your art
- with all his heart
- he melts
