relationship headcanons for the emo bird Warren

alexsunmners:

oooookay here we go I love Warren with all my heart and soul (modern au) (fun fact the playlists I’ve mentioned here are actual playlists I’ve made bc I’m a total music hoe)

@kurtwxgners @emmcfrxst

• He’s such a show off oh my god
• Especially before you actually start going out with him and he’s still trying to win you over
• In training with the other X Men, in conversation, just? at any opportunity he’s trying to impress you
• He dials it back a little when you’re actually dating but he still goes out of his way to show off for you
• Usually it’s cute but sometimes it can get in the way if you’re trying to be productive
• Even if it’s a little annoying sometimes, you can’t really be mad at him because he’s just? So sweet?
• You both love a lot of the same music, even if your taste is a little more lowkey when it comes to metal etc, 
• He makes you playlists all the time
• You’ve got so many that you can basically assign a playlist to a mood and listen to it when you’re feeling like it fits
• He picks the title and the songs and usually includes a one line description as well
• Some of your favourites are:
• fearless-I’m reckless and you’re restless and we go together like two halves of the same coin (it’s fast and energetic and he made it for you after he had come home from a mission injured)
• neon vibes-you feel like fireworks and driving too fast and I can’t get enough (it’s upbeat and exciting and twirly and he made it for you after your first real date)
• darker nights-I’ll never really leave you alone no matter where I am (it’s slower and a little sad and he made it for you before you left for a longer mission because being apart from you makes him anxious and he uses music to calm himself down and convey how he feels) (you cried the first time you listened to it) 
• You encourage him to play piano and to rediscover some other things he loves doing for fun
• He picks up piano again and he loves it and he loves you for bringing him back to it (you can pry classically trained pianist Warren from my cold dead hands k thx)
• He starts photography as well and he’s actually pretty good
• He takes an absurd amount of photos of you
• There are so many candids of you as well as a few posed ones that he persuaded you to let him take
• He thinks you’re the most beautiful person in the world and you’re his absolute favourite thing to photograph
• The two of you have a weekly movie night for just the two of you
• You take it in turns to pick the movie and organize the snacks
• It’s really just a solid block of time for the two of you to cuddle up together and not interact with anyone else
• Sometimes Warren will lie with his head in your lap and you’ll read to him because he finds it soothing and he likes it when you stroke his hair and wings gently
• Speaking of his wings
• You help him maintain and groom them because they’re fu c kign huge and a total pain for him to manage on his own
• He also loves how soft and delicate your touch is as you work your way through the feathers 
• It’s just? An act of intimacy that you both really enjoy
• You spar together in training and he’s so proud when you kick his ass
• You’re both pretty evenly matched on the whole but you have different strengths and weaknesses that mean there’s almost never a guarenteed winner
• He’s stronger than you and but you’re more maneuverable than he is and you tend to move faster
• You’ve also figured out how to account for his wings and if you get your timing and movements just right you can use the giant feathery appendages to hinder his own movement and hide you from view
• The sparring is just? really fun and a good way to blow off steam together if one or both of you is feeling particularly restless
• When he gets sleepy, Warren is so so cuddly and touchy feely
• He’ll drape himself over you and lean heavily into you 
• He has a naturally low body temperature so he loves cuddling up to you to warm himself up, even if you complain about his cold toes
• You feel so so safe and protected when he wraps you up in his arms and wings, even though you’re perfectly capable of protecting yourself
• He craves the physical intimacy and affection because he had to do without it for so long
• He’s not an amazing cook and doesn’t particularly enjoy it most of the time but he loves to keep you company in the kitchen especially when you’re baking because you’ll pass him things to taste as you work
• He’ll brag about you to anyone who’ll listen
• You’re his lockscreen and home screen and he’ll literally get heart eyes when he looks at his phone
• He takes you on cute, cheesy, typical dates every so often because he loves taking the chance to spoil you 
• It’s technically against the rules but he sleeps in your room a lot of the time
• Everyone knows about it but no one tries to stop him because they know he gets nightmares about his past sometimes
• Also no one begrudges him the need to have someone to hold onto at night because when he came to the school he was just so starved of affection and human contact
• He’s just? so so smitten with you?
