What is the love language of your characters?

Hey there!

So, in the past, I did the test for my Open Heart MCs and LIs to get answers, but of course, I can't find them. lol So I redid them, and I did it for Carolina and Trystan in CoP, too. I did not do it for Eli and Zoe because their WTD world is so different it wouldn't completely fit. This is how it turned out:

Casey & Tobias / Open Heart:

While most would be shocked that physical touch is #3 for them, I'm not. This makes sense for them.

Words of Affirmation fit them completely. First, communication is the cornerstone of their relationship. It's why they work so well. They constantly reassure each other through spoken words, texts, etc., not because they feel they need to or out of insecurity, but because they are honestly that crazy about each other. It's all heartfelt, cherished, and, if I'm being honest, it's all a bit of constant, ongoing foreplay. lol

Quality Time makes sense because they love nothing more than being together.

Physical Touch. Anyone who knows this couple knows this is very, very important to them. But it works in conjunction with the first two, and, let's be honest, 23%, 26%, and 29%... they're all pretty close.

Ethan & Kaycee / Open Heart:

I think this is appropriate for them. They're both very busy professionals who border on being workaholics, so showing love through Acts of Service is very important to them. Taking something off of their plate so they can get a little extra rest, or tend to a project they've been neglecting is a huge way of showing love to them.

Words of Affirmation also fit. Initially, Ethan is more insecure than Kaycee, and let's face it, hearing affirmations helped. As time goes on, that lessens, but they both love hearing loving, reassuring words about each other.

Quality time is huge for them because it's limited.

Trystan x Carolina / Crimes of Passion:

This one surprised me a little, but just a little... They're a flirtatious couple, so I expected Words of Affirmation and Physical Touch to be higher, but this does make sense.

Think of all they've been through, individually and collectively. They know what matters most, and that is time with each other. They know it's fleeting. They know it can be stolen at any time. They want as much of it as possible and will not take it for granted.

Acts of Service also makes sense because of their jobs/lifestyle. Doing things out of love to lessen the other's load, when their own is so heavy, says I love you louder than words ever could, and it is so appreciated.

Words of Affirmation and Physical Touch are tied for 3rd, and both are very important to them. The fact that they are tied really fits. Think of how flirtatious Tyrstan is: words. But for both of them, especially Carolina, it's very important to have both of these things in tandem.

If anyone is interested in taking this quiz for their character/pairing, or even themselves, here's the link: Love Languages Quiz

Thank you for the ask! And I'm working on the other ask you sent. I'm familiar, but it's been a long time, so I want to take more time to answer. :)

(Oh, note gifts mean next to nothing for my pairings... that fits! lol)

Insane to realize that Julia’s the outlier in Ethan’s love life because his type is very clearly bossy British babes.

#and he’s so valid for that #what rewatching all the MI films in a week does to motherfucker #and yes of course Benji is included in this #mission impossible #ethan hunt #i know MI2 is not regarded fondly but Thandiwe Newton is drop dead gorgeous in that one #and fallout does give a slight nod to her character which is cool #also love that car/motorcycle chases are part of ethan’s love language #tho julia does fit the adrenaline junkie criteria which i always thought was cute #claire’s an interesting case but i think it boils down to the terrible situation and uh some mommy issues #i don’t really count her as a love interest in the same way

I usually choose the third option because it’s so cute, but today I picked the second one and I love it! 😍

The way he’s so comfortable dancing with her. Taking the lead. The man loves to dance with his love in his arms and you’ll never convince me otherwise.

Ps. It also means that Ethan and Cassie will dance together twice in one night. One more and they’re practically engaged in Regency times.

What's your HC for Ethan's dating life/skills? Sometimes I have a hard time picturing him doing nice/romantic things for other women, but they were dating him for a reason, so he had to be nice man to date right? lol

What kind of dates did they have? Was he romantic? (Like flowers, kisses or generally thoughtful gestures)

Do you think that, even if he didn't believe in love and marriage, he entered relationships with a "formally dating" mentality? Or did he let them know he wasn't looking for anything too serious from the beginning?

I know everyone have different HC for this... Was your Ethan one to sleep with women on the first date?

Hey, Anon!

Whew... that is one complicated question--only because Ethan Ramsey is one complicated individual! 🤣 Thank you for including me on this Ask! Let's dive into my HC.

Still having deep rooted issues with his mom leaving, Ethan has never been keen on the whole idea of love and dating for a purpose. When he was old enough to date, he did it more for the social pressure of doing so. Sure, he thought girls were "hot", and he had fun getting to know the opposite sex, but that's all it was to him: a social construct of friendship with incentives.

Because of his maturity and his drive intellectually, Ethan found a hard time finding someone that could match him--again, not that he was looking, but he would go on his fair share of first dates, a handful of second dates, even fewer third and beyond dates, and he just wasn't about wasting his time. He had two girlfriends in high school (aka they would do their homework together, walk around the neighborhood, go to dances, and make-out), and only one in undergrad.

He's a pretty honest--almost to a fault, but at least he wouldn't lead a girl on (well, that's questionable about Casey Valentine, but more about that later lol). Also, he's a good guy. His intentions were never to try to get a girl in bed on the first date, but ... it has happened.

By the time he made it to med school, he had never been in love (he truly thought because of his own intentional avoidance of it) and had only had a handful of relationships that clearly never went anywhere. And he was happy on his own.

Then he met this blonde. And she gave him a run for his money. She was driven like him, smart like him. She got his humor, and served it right back to him. And she was fucked up about love just like him. And suddenly, he couldn't stop thinking about her. He couldn't stop looking at her. And then finally, he couldn't stop himself from touching her.

Obviously, this is Tatum lol. Now I'm not trying to put Tatum on this pedestal because she was far from perfect even before the infidelity, but she's Ethan's person. She's the one that by simply existing taught him how to love. He never understood why anyone would want to be exclusive with just one person until he wanted to only be with her and hang out with her and open up to her.

So, take all of that: Ethan learned how to love... and she broke his heart. It was like an oil spill: love was officially tainted in a whole new way. Now he didn't want to settle down because he didn't want to feel that hurt again--not because he didn't believe it didn't exist. First his mom... now Tatum.

He was back to going on the occasional first date, but nothing serious--and he was up front about that. He noticed women were upfront of "looking for the one" ... so, he made it clear that marriage was not his endgame. He met Harper Emory in residency, quickly becoming friends. They discovered they were after the same thing: sex with no attachments.

When Ethan turned 35, his friends started hounding him about settling down. They were all married with children, and they feared he would grow to regret not getting married and starting a family. He truly wasn't looking for anyone, but he agreed to a few first dates with no avail.

Then he met Casey Valentine... and there was something about her that made him think of a young Tatum Erikson. Ethan entered his own personal hell when he met her. He could never allow himself to fall completely for her (Dating an intern is literally deplorable in his book: not only is it against the rules, but it could hurt his professional reputation, not to mention he's way past the time in his life, plus he knew--he knew-- going after her was a set-up for another heartbreak).

After 3 years of their tumultuous, hot-and-cold relationship (Ethan admits he was the root cause of all of this), she broke it off with him. He had gotten to the point that he was ready to commit, that Casey could totally be the one he settles down with... but she said, "no."

He really did love Casey, but that love was nothing compared to what he shared with ...

Tatum came back into his life 6 months after that. And it pissed him the eff off because he wanted to hate her--correction, he wanted to not care about her; he wanted to never think about her again. But fate had a funny way of bringing them back together. You know the rest. lol

I agree with you in that I can't see Ethan as a romantic. Let's chat about love languages... Ethan readily expresses his love through acts of service and through giving practical gifts. He's the guy that changes your oil while you're at work. He notices your pen light isn't working, and gets you a new one. He prefers to be subtle, but his expression of love is quite intimate. Saying things like "I love you" doesn't naturally roll off his tongue (he heard it all the time from his mother growing up... ).

And just in case you're curious lol, I think Ethan receives love through words of affirmation and physical touch.

Thank you again for the Ask!

hii i come to you with an ask 🧍🏻‍♀️: what is your mc’s love language? what is ethan’s?

Thanks sm for the ask, Mal! 💕

Luz’s love language is def words of affirmation. She’s the type of friend and partner who never fails to remind those around her how much she loves them<3

I would say Ethan’s is acts of service. It’s always been the core of who he is. It’s part of the reason he chose his career, and it’s evident in his personal relationships as well.

#he will bring her breakfast in bed #is at her beck and call when she’s sick #offers to take the kids out so she can relax #Luz is one lucky woman #and vice versa <3 #love language #Ethan x Luz #Ethan q #Luz Beltrán

Axciss is the worst big brother but also kinda the best big brother

#Axci #OC tag #his love languages are 'dying for your loved ones'#'manipulating people into making right choices'#and 'keeping people in the dark to keep them safe even if it's things they should probably know about'#he's a bastard. he loves his family so much. he's immature. he's ready to take all responsibility upon himself #he's used the 'I'm the eldest and therefore my word is final' card approximately 1000 times and will use it again #when it comes to the big brother characters in his universe he's somehow in the top 3 while being lackluster #Gary is a better big brother but he's also not the eldest brother so he doesn't have the same disease #Ethan wins btw methinks he's the most functional and also the kindest

✮ WE THOUGHT GHOSTFACE GOT TO YOU —ETHAN LANDRY

SUMMARY. you don’t realize how loud you were with ethan until you see the group.

WARNINGS. MDNI, smut under cut, fem!reader, dom!ethan, degrading, language, fluff, mentions of gf

WORD COUNT. 0.3k

ethan was pounding into you at a relentless pace, his hands gripping your hips painfully as his nails dug into the soft skin.

your head was thrown back against the pillow as you cried out in pleasure, his cock hitting a certain spot just right causing strings of moans to escape your lips.

“you like that, slut?” he spat, one hand leaving your waist to grab your chin and force you to look at him.

your pupils were blown and tears stained your cheeks as you stared up at him.

“you like being my little fuck toy?”

you could only nod, your mind foggy and throat scratchy from all the screaming you had done.

he didn’t seem satisfied with your answer, his thrusts stilling for a second so he could loop his hands under your legs and yank you closer to him.

his cock practically penetrated your insides, ethan bringing you impossibly closer as his tip forced its way into your cervix.

“say it,” he growled, not daring to move as you wiggled against him, desperate for some type of friction.

“p-please,” you sobbed, grabbing his hands that held your legs as you scratched at them, needing him to move.

“i’m y-your little f-fuck toy.”

a dark grin took over the boys features as he hummed in approval, eyes falling to your cunt that was practically squeezing the life out of him.

he started to rock his hips into you slowly, a satisfied moan leaving your lips as your walls clung onto him tightly.

before you could process what was happening next, he dragged his cock almost completely out of you before slamming back in, causing you to cry out in pleasure.

“gonna make you cum so hard,” he panted, leaning down to burry his face into your neck and bite gently at the skin, “you wont be able to walk for days.”

your stomach formed into the all-too-familiar knot as your walls tighten around his cock, feeling every vein and detail that decorated it.

“cum.” was the last thing you heard before your vision went dark and your body shook, toes curling against the sheets as ethan released inside of you.

you don’t know how long you were out for, but when you woke up, ethan was dressed and cleaning you up.

your legs were parted as he ran a wet wash cloth over your pussy, causing you to jolt and let out a whimper.

“n-no more,” you whispered, ethan’s dark eyes softening as he was quick to assure you.

“just cleaning you up, darling.”

you let him finish before watching him grab a pair of clean boxers and a t shirt, both belonging to him.

he came over and helped you put the boxers on, your hips raising to help him slide them on easier before he did the same with the shirt.

you let out a sigh of approval at the smell of him that lingered on the shirt, feeling immediate comfort.

“i think the others will be here any second,” he said, running a hand over your face and through your hair as you leaned into his touch.

you allowed him to help you up, your legs immediately shaking and an uncomfortable pain running down them as you whimpered softly.

“did i go too hard?” he asked, no trace of teasing in his voice as he looked at you concerned.

this was the ethan you fell in love with, the nerdy—sweet boy that you sat next to in econ in the beginning of the year.

you quickly shook your head, offering him a small smile as you assured him.

“all good,” you smiled, letting him wrap an arm around your waist and walk you out of his room.

your eyes practically fell out of your head when they landed on the group—chad, sam, tara, and quinn all scattered around the living room.

“don’t tell me-” you mumbled, cut off by tara who couldn’t help but laugh as she spoke.

“yep.”

your face flushed red as you buried it in ethan’s chest, too embarrassed to face the group at knowing they had heard you two.

although you couldn’t see, you knew ethan was wearing a shit eating grin—no embarrassment found on his features.

“trust me, it wasn’t all sunshine and butterflies for us either,” chad mumbled, the group laughing before he joked—

“we thought ghostface had got to you.”

Word count: approx 600

SFW

Very, very clingy. Feels completely out of touch when he’s not around you. The boy will follow you around like a little lost puppy

Big on physical contact. He likes to always be holding your hand or have your arm tucked into his

Yah, he’s touch starved

He’s literally obsessed with you.

Like, to the point where it’s probably concerning to those around you

He’s a shy little bastard though

Gets overstimulated in large groups of people so will absolutely cling to you for dear life in malls

But he really likes going shopping with you and helping you pick out clothes

He absolutely LOVES when you play with his hair

He’ll lie with his head on your lap for hours just relishing in the feeling of your fingers running through his curls

Likes to fall asleep with you in his arms, or the other way round depending

He’s a big spoon little spoon switch for REAL

He blushes every time you pay him a compliment

“You look really nice today, baby”

INSTANTLY RED. How cute is he?

Bless his heart, he’s not a good cook at all so you’re the one who ends up doing the cooking

But he’ll try his best to help until you have to kick him out of the kitchen for somehow burning water

But he’ll sit at the table and watch you cook away with a big old smile on his face

Doesn’t really use pet names himself, but loves it when you call him “baby,” “babe,” and “honey.”

His love languages are quality time, physical touch and words of affirmation

He could sit and listen to you talk about your day forever

He’s the best to gossip with

“And then he told her to fuck off!”

“Shut up, no he didn’t? What happened next??“

Such a good boyfriend, right?

NSFW

He’s a needy little fucker

Like HONESTLY so fucking needy

Such a sub it’s not even funny

Two words: PUSSY WORSHIP

He’ll literally be begging to eat you out until you cum

Over and over again

Will always want to make sure you’ve had at least a couple of orgasms before he even gets his cock out

LOVES when you fuck his face, I don’t make the rules

Absolute master of eating pussy

Guys got the kind of mouth invented for going down

Loves messily sucking on your clit and getting your juices all over his face

He’s such a slut for you, he’d go out of his way to make you feel good

Don’t ask me why, but he’s a thigh and tits kinda guy and pussy obviously

He likes when you’re on top when having sex, completely dominating and taking full control

He himself doesn’t have a dominant bone in his body

Begs really prettily

He absolutely 100% whimpers

He’s so fucking vocal

Likes when you pull his hair when you’re fucking him

Really riles him up

Won’t say it, but loves to be denied of release

Actively wants you to deny him so that when you grant him permission, the satisfaction is just oh so much better

Again, won’t say it but he loves when you’re blowing him and after he already cums you keep sucking

THAT kind of over stimulation? He likes

He’ll be sobbing, saying “thank you, thank you” over and over again when you let him cum

Likes when you look into his eyes while blowing him too. Does all kinds of things to him

Goes absolutely wild when you praise him

He’s playing with your clit just right?

“You’re such a good boy, baby.”

He’d be trying not to bust then and there

He also loves being degraded

Call him pathetic and needy and he’ll be a whimpering mess, almost sobbing from your words and especially if you’re overstimulating him

But balance out the praise and degradation

He’s a very sensitive guy in more ways than one

When you’re riding him he’ll be gazing up at you, hands on your hips watching your tits bouncing and just feel like he’s in heaven

Loves loves loves when you touch yourself in front of him

Really enjoys lazy, early morning sex

But loves long sessions in the afternoon even more

As I said, deny him and he’ll last as long as he can

Don’t deny him? Baby will cum just from eating you out alone he fucking loves it

What can I say? He’d do anything that brings you pleasure. He’s just that kinda guy

#help these just popped into my head #he’s such a sub it’s not even funny #i love him #scream #scream 6 #ethan landry #ethan landry x reader #ethan landry smut #ethan landry headcanons

Love Language — ethan landry

Description: You regularly hugged all of your friends besides Ethan. He wonders why.

Pairing: Ethan Landry x GN!Reader

Warnings: reader is shorter than ethan, some teasing, confessions, no ghostface, mention of a dead childhood pet once, lmk if theres anything i should add !!

Word Count: 2.6k

Author’s note: is this very specific to me? yes.

BLACKMORE UNIVERSITY, FRESHMAN YEAR

When Ethan first met you, he thought you and Chad were dating.

The first time he met Chad’s friend group and inevitably became a part of it, there was talk amongst them of a link in their friendships currently studying a semester abroad, which he quickly found was you. They talked greatly of you, and Chad said you’d known them since freshman year of highschool besides Sam. The Woodsboro murders only brought you five closer together.

Safe to say Ethan had quite high expectations. There were photos he’d seen, and you were…attractive, to say the least. (If Ethan was honest, he’d say hot.) And by the way everyone talked about you like you were an angel, he wasn’t actually expecting you to be the closest thing to a deity he’d ever seen—but he was proven wrong.

You were introduced when you finally came back for the spring semester, and Quinn teased him afterward for being reduced to a bumbling idiot at the mere sight of you. (It was even worse when you talked to him.)

But after a week or so, your intimidation levels went down significantly. You weren’t just an angel by looks, you were an angel by character. Even if Ethan hadn’t known you for long, the thing that stood out most was your compassion. How you cared so deeply for others that it only inspired those around you, including him.

What made him contemplate your relationship with Chad were the hugs.

Ethan was there when they picked you up at the airport. You hugged your friends from Woodsboro and Anika (since you’d known her over Facetime), then waved an awkward introduction with Ethan as he desperately tried not to stutter out his name.

He thought, okay, that was normal. Hugging your friends you hadn’t seen in a long time.

But as time progressed he noticed that every time he happened to see you, either on campus or when some of them would grab a bite to eat and you were invited, you would always be hugging Chad.

Ethan’s data was only gathered during this short week after you arrived, and he realized he was completely wrong when he began to hang out more with the rest of the group, not just Chad.

You hugged everybody.

He put it together when he spotted you at a popular lunch spot with Tara, embracing her for a good minute or so. He also went to Quinn’s place of residence which happened to also be the Carpenter sisters’, and Sam was holding you in the kitchen while something was cooking.

He started noticing it every single time. There was Mindy and Anika, who you drunkenly hugged at a lame party (in which he’d never admit that he attended just to see you), then Quinn at some point when he ran into both of you on campus.

Throughout the next few weeks, he accepted that it was just your way of showing you loved your friends. And he wasn’t close to you yet, but he was looking forward to the day he would be.

SOPHOMORE YEAR

The diner a few blocks from your place became familiar with you and your friends constantly hanging out there, and even if it could get rowdy, the staff couldn’t help but appreciate that you all tipped well despite being college students.

Ethan didn’t put much thought into the hugs a year into knowing you, his thoughts were replaced by how much you spent time with him. You asked him to hang out. You texted him. You even did study calls over discord, and you’d be able to hear Chad teasing him in the background and you always laughed it off.

Soon enough, you consumed every corner of his mind, and every good thing he saw would come back to you. He saw the moon come out every night and was reminded of how much you loved it. Whenever he encountered a stray cat, he thought about stories you told of your childhood cat, a picture of her still in your wallet though she died years ago. At a store, he would remind himself to grab the chips you liked.

You occupied places in his psyche so much that it felt like he was drunk on you. He guessed that’s why he forgot about the hugs pretty quickly.

At least, he forgot about them until you were at the diner with him, Chad, and Tara. They were always the most available, often down to do whatever when you’d text to the groupchat if anyone was free.

Chad was frowning at his phone, brows furrowed.

You were sitting across from him, next to Ethan, when you noticed.

“What’s wrong, C?” You inquired, putting a piece of fry dipped in milkshake in your mouth.

Ethan was focused on his milkshake, and how you occasionally would dip your fries in—without double dipping, of course—it made his heart flutter even if it was the simplest of actions. The domesticity of it. He may as well be your boyfriend, he fantasized.

“This quiz is wrong.” Chad scowled.

Tara, right next to him, peeped at his screen. She laughed. “Why are you taking this?”

Chad shrugged exaggeratedly, almost reminiscent of a moody kid. “I was watching this video essay about love languages last night, so I got curious.”

You smiled, taking in the context. “Did you do a quiz on what your love language is?”

He nodded.

“Can I see?”

He handed you his phone, and it read Physical Touch. Ethan scooted closer next to you to read it and you tried to ignore the faster beat of your heart when you thighs began to touch.

“Y’know what? It’s kinda right,” Tara chimed in.

“Really?” Her boyfriend turned to her.

“You have your hand on my thigh right now.” She chuckled, a soft sound as she leaned in closer to him.

Reading further, it also said Words of Affirmation was a close second.

Ethan finally spoke, “You should listen to your girlfriend, Chad.”

You handed the phone to Tara when she motioned for it. “Words of affirmation also seems right,” she added.

“Seriously?” Chad asked, his tone lifting to showcase disbelief. “Does everybody know this but me?”

Ethan pulled a memory from his brain. “You always hype me up at parties. Remember when you kept calling me a snack at that Halloween party last year?”

His roommate gave it a moment, then responded, “Alright, fine. I guess you’re right.” He looked to Tara with an unsaid question that only she knew how to read. A question that was ‘are they actually right?’

“Well, I can’t exactly say it at the table.” She said it teasingly at Chad, but with a lilting tone that told you it was, to say the least, inappropriate.

Ethan put a hand on his face, “Please have some decorum, guys.”

“Yeah, come on.” You joked. “I’ve had enough of you two lovebirds.“

Chad glanced at you, feigning offence. “Don’t act like you’re not the same!”

“Woah, woah—“ You interrupted. “With whom?“

He pressed his lips into a thin line, eyes going to Ethan, who had a panicked look.

“What? What makes you think that? Why are you looking at me?” Ethan said a tad too quickly which made Tara almost snort.

“Let’s not…” You shook your head slowly, “start this.”

Now, what did you mean by that? Ethan thought.

Chad shrugged. “What about you, roomie? What’s your love language?” He asked, moving away from the subject of you and Ethan which you were eternally grateful for. But the question still plagued Ethan, unbeknownst to you.

“Um…” He thought for a second. “What are the love languages?” He asked when he realized he didn’t actually know the other ones.

“I think yours is acts of service,” You interjected. You were looking him up and down, as if you were scanning him for something. He couldn’t help but almost cower under your wandering eyes, but he stood his ground, a mental battle inside his head of which you were completely unaware.

“Is it?”

“Yeah,” Tara agreed. “Yeah.” She reiterated, more sure of it.

“Listen to your partner in crime, roomie.” Chad smirked.

You tilted your head at the partner in crime part, you’d never heard yourself be referred to with that regarding Ethan. Not that you minded.

Ethan shot him a very stern look, as if they had a silent conversation. (To your obliviousness, it was because Ethan referred to you as his partner in crime to Chad a few days ago, giving his roommate more ammo to use.)

“Why do you guys think it’s acts of service?” Ethan shifted the topic back.

“Well,” you began. “You always bring me chips when you come back from a store.”

“He only does that to you, though.” Tara said.

“Does he?” You turned to him for an answer.

“Well—I do stuff for other people too.”

“Like what?”

“I do the dishes at our house. I mop the floor, I do stats homework for Anika.”

“That’s all true,” Chad agreed. “Okay, so yours is acts of service. Y/N, what about you?”

“Definitely physical touch.” Tara nodded, certain of it.

“Oh, for sure, for sure.” Her boyfriend concurred.

“Wait, what makes you guys so sure?” You smiled regardless of your questioning tone, appreciative of the way your friends paid attention to your actions.

“Do we even have to start?” Tara asked, “The hugs?”

“Yeah, you’ve been doing it since high school.”

“Within two days of knowing me, you hugged me in Ms. Thompson’s class,” She added.

“Okay, you’re right, but—“ You started.

“What else could there be?” Chad interrupted.

It was then that a quiet voice piped up from next to you, so quiet a whisper you could’ve missed it if the diner weren’t empty. “You’ve never hugged me.”

Ethan sounded so dejected, so…defeated?

It broke your heart.

He regretted it even before he said it, and judging from everyone’s faces apparently he needed to rid himself of the habit of saying things out of turn.

Tara’s eyes were a little wide, while Chad puffed air from his mouth.

He refused to look at you.

“Never—nevermind,” He waved it off.

“I was just getting to that,” You furthered. “My love language is different for certain people!” You exclaimed.

“Is it?” Tara questioned, eyes narrowing. (You’d realize later how much of a bait this was.)

“For you guys, I’ve known you for a while so I’m comfortable touching you.”

Chad had the same expression as his girlfriend, “But you do the same to Anika and Quinn.”

It dawned on Ethan that they were pretty much backing you both into a corner. “Guys—“

“But—that’s—that’s different,” you insisted.

A long pause. Nobody could decide if it was awkward.

“…Is it?” Ethan finally spoke, a piece of courage in exchange for dignity. He needed the answer.

You fidgeted in your seat, not knowing how to say it. But you wanted to, badly. The answer was etched into your bones, weaved into your DNA.

“Fine,” you shrugged. “Wanna know the truth? I was going to say, before you interrupted me, that my love language changes when it’s romantic, okay?”

The answer was Ethan.

You didn’t know what was going to happen next. At this point, your heart was in your feet and you’ve scooted away from Ethan.

He was breathing shallowly as if he’d just ran a marathon. “Can you…elaborate?”

You took a deep breath, “Do you seriously not know?”

He shook his head.

Then you did something he never expected.

You reached for his arm and guided him out of the booth, heading for the door and ignoring your friends’ looks when you exited the diner.

Chad and Tara were left to anticipate.

Right outside of the dimly lit diner, on sidewalk, you positioned yourself right in front of him.

You stared right into his brown doe eyes, and hugged him. You put your arms around his torso, under his arms, your head on his upper chest.

It took him a good second to reciprocate, but it was worth it. The warmth that radiated from his touch was one you never forgot, even if you couldn’t feel it again for a thousand years. (But you’d never let that happen.)

You were hugging him because you couldn’t face him while you said what you were about to say.

“I don’t hug you because if I did, it would mean different.” Your voice was muffled by his jacket. “I don’t love you the way I love my friends.”

With your head where it was, you felt his breath hitch. “What—what do you mean?”

You laughed, and Ethan revelled in the rumble of your joy in his chest.

“I mean…I spend my time with you differently because I love you differently. I hug my friends, but I spend time with you, because I…”

He didn’t know if he had the strength to keep himself upright.

“Because I’m in love with you.”

He was silent.

“And—and you don’t have to even…feel the same, but I didn’t want you to wonder if I loved you or not because I couldn’t let me being scared take that from you. Because you deserve to know. I think.”

Your voice was so unstable that it tapered off by the end, as quiet as Ethan was.

His embrace tightened, trying to pull you closer. He leaned down and put his head on your shoulder.

“I can’t believe you’d say that—that I don’t have to feel the same.”

Now he felt your breath hitch.

He continued, “I think I already loved you when we met. Is that weird?”

You laughed. And he memorized that sound.

“It’s not weird. I think it happened to me too.”

The biggest weight on both of your shoulders were lifted, something you thought wasn’t possible.

He breathed you in, memorizing the edges of your body as you kept talking.

“I’m sorry they kept teasing you because of me. Tara knew, so Chad probably knew, too.”

He pulled away slightly, looking at you.

“I thought they were teasing me because Chad knew.” His eyebrows were pinched, and you put two and two together at the same time.

Your eyes snapped to the window of the diner, seeing Chad and Tara’s heads disappear from the view when they ducked down, trying to avoid you from spotting their peeping. But you saw it anyway.

You focused back on Ethan, and while he was still looking at the window, you put a soft hand on his cheek and guided his head to face you again.

“It was a set up,” He sighed.

“It was.” You nodded.

“Should we be mad?”

“Are you?”

“Not when you’re in my arms.”

You grinned. “Since when did you have game?”

“I have you, don’t I?”

You playfully slapped his arm. “Wanna go back to my place?”

“If I ever say no to that, kill me.”
