roommate!johnny who yells “honey, I’m home” when he gets home from work. only grins in response to your reminder that he doesn’t have to scream and that you’re also not his honey
“then why are you so sweet to me hen?” bastard.
will openly flirt with you when your friends are over to see how flustered you get. they giggle and whisper about how sweet he is while you stand there glaring at him
sneaks his shirts into your laundry
orders you breakfast at least once a week, usually on your days off. he has your favorites memorized and always has it waiting for you on the breakfast bar
constant hair ruffling, whether you like it or not
he never brings anyone home from his trips to the bar and when you ask why he shrugs dismissively, not bothering to hide the way his eyes seem to peel back the layers of your clothes
has a habit of walking around half dressed, something that becomes a huge issue when your air conditioning breaks halfway through august. you swear the universe if torturing you as he parades around the apartment, purposefully leaning in close behind you to speak lowly over your shoulder
insists on movie nights for ‘bonding time’, even though you two couldn’t get along better if you tried
the movie always ends with his arm wrapped some part of you, a blanket tossed over both of your legs. you always swear you’ll be able to drag yourself back to your room afterwards, but your willpower dies the moment he hums something about putting on another movie

beams like the sun when he hears you tell an overbearing door to door salesman that you’re going to get your boyfriend if he doesn’t go away
“that’s me, right?”
pays you extra attention when you're sick, not that you can ever get him off your back anyway
king of platonic princess treatment
offers to marry you so you can get his military benefits. when you ask him what will happen if he falls in love with someone who isn’t his ‘wife’, he chuckles. “I’m pretty confident that won’t happen. who knows bonnie? maybe you’ll end up falling in love with me.”
you hope he doesn't know that you're closer to it than he realizes.
