Tom Hiddleston Characters: How They Act When They Have a Crush (on You)
(Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters or images. This is just a fun listicle, not designed to offend anyone. As always, please feel free to leave comments and/or constructive criticism below. Thank you, and without any further ado, please enjoy!)
Characters in this list: Will Ransome, King Henry V, Loki of Asgard and Jotunheim, Bill Hazeldine, Coriolanus, Jonathan Pine, Robert Laing, Magnus Martinsson, Oakley, Thomas Sharpe, and Jaguar Villain! Tom Hiddleston.
Will Ransome from The Essex Serpent
Tumblr media
Will Ransome having a crush on you would include him offering small bunches of flowers to you whenever he saw you. He would eagerly explain to you the names of the flowers and where they were to be found in Aldwinter. And he would love it whenever you showed interest in the topics he discussed during his weekly sermons at the church, losing track of time while he answered your questions and offered additional commentary.
Despite being very nervous about saying something inappropriate, Will also finds a way to give you a genuine compliment every time you meet, whether it's about the way you styled your hair or the color of your outfit.
When you're not around, he'd fantasize about what it'd be like to be intimate with you. Not necessarily intimate a sexual manner - he would imagine holding hands with you, reading to you while you were curled up in his lap, spending a cold morning under a warm blanket with you, and playing with his dog in the springtime. Will would dream of a life with you, and pray to God that He keeps the two of you together.
King Henry V from The Hollow Crown
Tumblr media
King Henry's crush on you began during your betrothal to him. You were brought to meet him for the first time and your father signed the agreement solidifying your family's alliance to the young king of England. 
With one look, Henry found himself bewitched by you, declaring that you must be a goddess like Venus or a maiden of heavenly beauty like Helen of Troy. After signing the agreement, Henry would take great interest in showing you around the palace (with a chaperone present of course. Medieval courting. XD). He'd study your face as the two of you went to different rooms - the gardens, the throne room, the library, the king's study - so he could figure out which places you liked the best.
After you had gone home, Henry would ask his men to find out everything they could about you: your favorite flower, your favorite food(s), your favorite fragrance. He wanted to make sure that your new chamber in the palace would be perfect for you.
He would take immense delight in seeing you smile, feeling his own heart skip a beat every time you laughed. When you were alone, he might nervously tell you a flirtatious joke, feeling relieved when you giggled. Maybe if he was feeling bold, he would sweet-talk you into holding his hand (with your consent, of course) and letting him kiss your perfect lips. 
Loki of Asgard and Jotunheim from the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Tumblr media
("A god doesn't have crushes, Ruhi!"
"Yeah, yeah. Keep telling yourself that.")
Loki having a crush on you would include him showing off his tricks and illusions in the hopes that it would amaze you. He'd take great pleasure in making you laugh, whether it's through a witty joke or a prank (even if Thor is the butt of said prank). 
He would be mesmerized whenever you showed off your talents, like singing, dancing, hand-to-hand combat, writing, or even vocal impressions. Loki would be your biggest cheerleader, applauding each and every time, encouraging you to hone your skills further.  (Shit, now I'm thinking of Loki holding green pom-poms…what have I done?) 
When he's alone, Loki would think about you, wondering if you liked him too. He might even keep a journal titled with your name, a dedicated place for him to write about all the details that he adores about you. 
Loki would sometimes watch you from afar (not necessarily in a creepy, stalking way), and conjure little presents and trinkets to make you feel better when you were upset. He would grow jealous whenever another person tries to make a move on you, and would either intercept them or simply persuade you to turn your attention elsewhere. 
For the record, it would take a bit of teasing from Thor (or Lady Frigga - dear autocorrect, stop changing her name to Fridge) in order to get Loki to confess his attraction to you. 
Bill Hazeldine from Suburban Shootout
Tumblr media
Bill having a crush on you would include him helping you out whenever possible, carrying groceries to your home, making sure you got home safely at night, or letting you stand under his umbrella whenever it unexpectedly rained. (*insert Rihanna reference here*) 
Bill would be keen to listen to you talk about anything, he absolutely enjoys the sound of your voice as if it were his personal radio show. And at home, Bill would gush about you to his parents, showering you with plenty of praise in your absence. 
He would long for the chance to ask you out on a date but every time you say his name, his tongue goes numb and he forgets the words that he mentally rehearsed several times.
Caius Martius Coriolanus from Coriolanus
Tumblr media
Caius having a crush on you would include him being surprised at first, thinking such a feeling to be beneath him. He is a general, he must always be in control (if you know which film this is from, tell me so I can give you a Tumblr hug). 
He would take his time, keeping his adoration a secret, sending his servants to find out about your background. And every time he saw you in the town square, he would stare but quickly turn away once you caught him.  Eventually, he would accept that his feelings for you were not some passing fancy but a genuine love for you. He would think about your charms, your beauty, your smile, and wish to have it all for himself.
When he is working, his army colleagues would tease him about his affections, badgering him with questions about you. Of course, Caius would be quick to lose his temper, barking at them to mind their own business.
Caius would try to get your attention by inviting your family for supper, sending a servant to your home bearing a letter that described his interest in you. He would have his servants prepare the best dishes for your family, knowing that he will need to make a good impression as a worthy suitor for you.
When interacting with you, Caius would speak in soft, dulcet tones, asking if you were enjoying the food and if you were comfortable. You would be the only person that could make Caius laugh, let alone smile. 
Jonathan Pine from The Night Manager
Tumblr media
Jonathan having a crush on you would include him conveying his affection through polite gestures, like asking about your day whenever you saw him in the lobby. He would listen to you rant about almost anything, like your favorite book or your favorite film actor. He would keep your favorite magazine reserved for you, save a plate of food if he knew you were going to have a long night.
If you were in the hotel when your birthday rolled around, he would use some of his savings to buy you a small present, be it a box of sweets or a piece of jewelry. 
He wouldn't talk much about himself with you, given his dark, troubling past, but he would be very protective towards you. Jonathan would do anything and everything in his power to make sure that nobody hurt you, or used you as some type of bait to get to him.
Robert Laing from High-Rise
Tumblr media
Robert having a crush on you would include him bringing coffee to you in the morning, just so he can see you before going off to work at the medical school. 
He would remember each and every thing about your interactions. If you told him that your favorite scent was gardenia flowers, then he'd switch his usual cologne for one that smelled more like gardenia flowers. He'd even buy a tie that was your favorite color.
If the two of you were ever at a party, Robert would keep a subtle eye on you, prepared to knock anyone out if they ever got too handsy with you. He'd also silently hope that at one point during the night, you would approach him, a slow song would start to play, and you would put your arms around his neck, looking into his eyes…
Yeah, for someone who looks very detached from most things, Robert would be very, very attached to you.
Magnus Martinsson from Wallander
Tumblr media
Magnus having a crush on you would include plenty of teasing from his work colleagues at the police station. In front of them, he'd pretend to be all tough about it, denying as much as he can. But on the inside, Magnus would literally be putty in your hands.
He would buy flowers for you, often leaving them at your doorstep because of his odd hours. Whenever the two of you happened to meet, Magnus would feel elated whenever you recognized him.
It would take some egging from his colleagues or even Wallander himself to get Magnus to stop admiring you from afar and just ask you out for a drink.
Oakley from Unrelated
Tumblr media
Oakley having a crush on you would include him doing a lot of tricks to impress you (like backflips in the air or putting out a match with his tongue). He'd love to show off in front of you, even if it means his friends teasing him about it. He'd flex his muscles (he has them, right?), brag about how good of a swimmer he is, and act like he's not afraid of any challenge. 
Behind doors, he'd also do a lot of the cheesy things, like writing your first name with his last name in a notebook, or listing everything he likes about you.
Thomas Sharpe from Crimson Peak
Tumblr media
Thomas having a crush on you would include him stealing glances at you from across the ballroom while you socialize with other guests. In public, Thomas would do a double take whenever you walked by.
Even though his sister keeps an iron grip on Thomas, he would still find a way to offer you compliments. He would tell you about the beautiful color of your eyes, the loveliness of your hairstyle, and the aesthetic appeal of your outfit.
And in private, he would write letters addressed to you - letters that he may or may not ever send to you, letters entailing each and every thing he enjoyed about you, letters that described everything he wished to do with you. One of the letters consisted of his wish to dance with you under the stars of Paris, and hold you in his arms while you gazed at the Eiffel tower.
Jaguar!Tom Hiddleston
Tumblr media
Tom doesn't have "crushes"; he's a pretty guarded person, so he either falls hard, or not at all.
Tom being interested in you would include him bringing you plenty of luxurious gifts (Godiva chocolates, Chanel perfume, the latest designer gowns, your own 2-bedroom flat in London) and making time for you in his busy schedule. 
He wold always have his chauffeurs pick you up from work/school, just to make sure that you're in safe hands.
When you're together, Tom would enjoy stealing an occasional kiss and surprising you with romantic gestures. On your birthday, he made entire city blackout except for London Bridge, which was lit up in your favorite color. He even booked a private theater just for the two of you, and had a showing of your favorite movie or play.
And if anyone tries to hit on you or be inappropriate with you? Be prepared to hear about their "mysterious disappearance" on the news the next day.

Being Married to Robert Laing Would Include…
Tumblr media
Living with him on the twenty-fifth floor of the high-rise
Making breakfast for him in the morning, reminding him that he actually needs something more than coffee before he goes off to the medical school
Most weekday mornings, you'd make Robert a breakfast of toast, eggs, and orange juice.
Depending on how things were between the two of you or depending on what was available in the high-rise supermarket, you might add some fruit, hash browns, baked beans, or sausages to his plate
Though on weekends, when the two of you are having a lazy morning in bed, you might end up being breakfast for Robert ;)
Learning the way he prefers his coffee to be made
In the film, it looked as if he used a moka pot in his apartment, so he might be drinking at least one espresso in the morning 
Helping him cool off after he spends time at the gym, joining him in the shower 
Fixing him a drink when he comes home from the medical school
Eating dinner together every night, talking to each other about your day and whatever gossip might be circulating the high-rise
Holding his arm protectively every time someone in the building tries to flirt with your husband
Robert does find it amusing every time you get a little bit jealous, but he almost immediately gives you a smile and a kiss, silently promising you that he's yours alone.
Him teasing you by sunbathing on the balcony while you do chores around the house. Oh yeah…that kind of sunbathing
Eventually, you can't take his cheeky attitude anymore and playfully throw a towel just to startle him
It'd still make him laugh, knowing he could get a rise out of you…and would probably lead to him making it up to you 
Tumblr media
But let's not get things the wrong way, Robert would still do things around the house like taking out the garbage
Especially if/when things start to get noisy or violent in the halls of the high-rise
Him being very protective of you around other men, especially Wilder and Royal, always keeping an arm around you, holding your hand
Bragging about how doting your husband is to the other ladies of the high-rise
Falling in love with him all over again every time he dances at a party
Being Robert's closest confidante, the one he tells everything on his mind to
Cuddling with him after a long day on the sofa, wrapped in each other's arms
Helping Robert to feel more optimistic about the future and about life
