Taking a crack at a younger Kain! Post-BO2 era. Kain's relationship alphabet! SFW, cut for space.

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

Good luck getting affection from him at first. His biggest affection will be not scolding you for making a mistake- unless it's a pretty big mistake, of course. Once he warms up and feels more in control of things, he will be better about showing affection- usually gentle touches and forehead kisses when no one is looking.

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

Instigator! Bad influence! Gives horrible advice on purpose! He's fun but infuriating. Have lots of patience if you want this bastard (affectionate) as your best friend.

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

Oh, yes. After everything he's been through? He needs to hold onto you or have you hold onto him. Do not say anything about it- he is sensitive when it comes to this and will gladly kick you off the bed.

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

HA! He has servants for that! (More specifically, Vorador has servants for that.)

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

Either he leaves or you come back to find your stuff packed neatly. He never says a word to you again unless it is required.

F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

It will take quite a long time for you to get close enough to him for him to even consider the idea. He has to reestablish his (attempted) empire and get things settled down first, then he will entertain the idea.

Once he's ready for it, though... he is committed. You've gotten this far and he's not letting anyone or anything take you away from him.

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

Emotionally, no dice. He's harsh because the world is harsh and he has no time to spare for idiocy... but if you are more faint-hearted, he will try to be gentle. He will speak to you softly and maybe show more affection if you're lucky.

Physically, he won't hurt you on purpose. Sometimes he forgets his own strength and might leave a bruise if he yanks you towards him for unwarranted cuddles.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

Kain is like a cat- touch is on his terms alone. If he's comfortable (usually when alone with you), he will usually be glad to give any hugs you desire. But, once in a while, he needs to not be touched at all. It's best for everyone if you respect his space, this is a dealbreaker for him.

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

Not quickly. You'll probably say it first and after a moment of thinking, he will say it back. If he does say it first, like @necromancer-4-hire said, it's after a life-or-death situation or something akin to that.

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)

Oh, easily jealous. Someone gives you a look he doesn't like and he's tugging you closer, glaring at the offender with the heat of a thousand suns. He has trust issues as well, so you can help him by sitting him down and telling him that you are not going to leave, and you are not going to cheat. He will feel better after that. But he will still snarl at anyone he deems a threat to your relationship.

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

Kain's lips are cool and soft. He's very gentle in his kisses, tilting your face to his and giving a sweet smooch. He likes to pepper your face, neck, and shoulders with kisses to show his appreciation for your loyalty and dedication to him.

L = Little ones (How are they around children?)

No. No. Absolutely not. We saw what he did to the lieutenants, do you really think it's a good idea for him to have ACTUAL children?!

M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

Mornings are spent hiding behind the impenetrable curtained windows, perhaps canoodling or preparing for sleep. He's not fitted for the sun at all- poor guy would probably burst into flames.

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)

You often wake up alone as he's already out and about. He has a lot on his plate so don't expect any sleeping in, even if you whine when you manage to wake up when he does. He does feel bad about it, though.

When he's done with his duties, he does eventually find his way back to you. 'Parallel play' is a reoccurring theme- he's doing his thing while you do your thing. After a while he'll be ready for one-on-one time with you, talking about your nights will sipping on goblets of blood.

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

It takes a while for Kain to trust you enough. He'll start slow, tidbits of information that is harmless until he feels ready enough to get into the deeper stuff. Prepare for traumatic stories of events that Kain doesn't realize have traumatized him!

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

Very easily, though he will have more leniency with you because he loves you. Do not poke at him, he can be scary when angry.

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

He remembers everything. He's recovered from his head injury at this point so his memory is much better. He is silent about his collection of facts about you, as to not appear vulnerable. But he does remember any trinkets or gifts you enjoy, and you will find them randomly.

R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

Not quite a part of your relationship, but he always takes note of the first time he meets someone important. With you it was no different. The way you walked, stood, sat. Your clothing, how your hair was worn. How you spoke in the voice he has come to adore.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

Kain is incredibly protective. Once he gets his empire back in shape, he keeps tabs on you at all times, for safety. He doesn't interfere or snoop in your business but he wants to know in an instant if you're being threatened or outright attacked. He cannot lose anyone else.

For him, Kain wants you to let him do the work. Let him set guards, add any protection magic, and the likes. Let him take the lead, let him feel in control.

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

You might not think this arrogant and angry bastard (affectionate) would put any stock into relationships, but he tries to remember any last detail about you. If he can, he'll know the very minute you were born to make your birthday more special. He'll pull the stops for anniversaries related to you. He'd gladly throw a lavish party if you like (if you've made Vorador's acquaintance, he be glad to provide anything to help- you keep Kain out of trouble and he is grateful for that).

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

Kain isn't very open. He's not outwardly affectionate. He can get caught up in his work and set you aside. Your best bet is to communicate with him- tell him what you want and why (the why isn't required but he is more likely to take it seriously if he understands). He might bitch and moan for a little bit (as is his nature) but he will do anything for you. Just be firm and maybe set little notes as reminders.

"Kain- be nice to me. Love, Y/N"

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

He's far more handsome than he was as a human and takes pride in that fact. Kain loves his long hair and his talons, his dark eyes and his cadaverous white skin. He's a predator in almost every sense and you will be reminded of that with his ego.

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

After a while in your relationship... yes. He feels like he's missing something but he can't put his finger on it until he has you back from whatever endeavor. He gets quite emotional when he realizes that you're so important to him, and he'll smother you with love for a few nights before he recovers from that realization.

Whatever you do, don't think about Kain losing you, whether to a human hunter or another vampire. Don't think about that piece of his soul that will be lost forever. Don't think about how he refuses to let himself mourn, forcing himself to work harder. Just don't think about it!

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)

Kain may be an asshole in every sense of the word, but he cares. He does. He might not show it the best but he adores you.

Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)

Be polite. Don't be a mess in a literal sense, he values cleanliness (don't look at his office). And for the love of the Pillars, do not snore- he will smother you with a pillow. (I'm certain that someone out there has a cure that doesn't involve death!)

Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)

He starts off on his back, resting like the corpse he is. Then after he falls asleep he'll sleep like a normal person, on his sides. Sleep cuddles are the best from Kain, he's finally quiet!
