✯ Gonna be totally honest with you here… This probably starts out with a lot of heckling, banter and teasing. But Tommy’s one of those guys, as he’s saying shit, there will be this flirty little smirk on his face. He’ll also step closer. He’s not so obvious with it that you /know/ he’s flirting or even interested, you’ll actually start off firmly believing he either doesn’t like you or he lives to annoy/hurt you for some unknown reason. Look, if he has to internalize his feelings for his best friends -i said what I said babes, do you really think he’s going to be all open and lovey-dovey with someone who simply dresses and acts just a little different just like that? No. No, he won’t. Plus, he has to get his head around whatever it is he’s feeling. If it’s just a physical interest, if the interest isn’t constantly there in his mind, he won’t act on it. Better to not rock the boat then to rock it. -unrelated, but I honestly feel in my heart that Tommy is the way he is because he was the one who was bullied to oblivion as a kid. So now he’s bigger and meaner so he bullies people as like… Payback or something, I suppose.

✯ Now if that attraction isn’t just physical, Tommy’s not the kind of guy who will just sit on his laurels and let you slip through his fingers. But he’s gotta feel something and to date alt/goth, especially in the 80’s, he’s gotta feel it strongly. Because back in the day, you didn’t really see a whole lot of jocks / grunge -alt - goth couples. But I digress. Once he realizes this is more than just the need of a warm body, - another totally unrelated thing here to note, Tommy is only hypersexual when he’s dating his guy/girl of choice. Any other time, guy can make use of his hand like nobody’s business bc he has a very vivid imagination. ANYWAY, WHERE THE FUCK WAS I? OH OH YEAH.. This is when Tommy tries to kind of… Immerse himself in the things that interest you, whether it be music, true crime, spooky stuff, you name it. He’ll even lean more heavily towards plain black t-shirts. If they hug those biceps (to show you what he brings to the table bc.. Sheer brawn, minimal brains god bless my idiot baby), all the better. Guy will try to listen to the music you like but nine out of ten, outside of The Cure, Siouxsie and maaybe one or two others, he just can’t. He’s more of a classic rock / hard rock / stoner rock kind of guy I think. But he tries, oh my god.

✯ The above being said, sometimes he tries a little… too hard.

✯ He’ll do anything to get you to notice him, he’s an attention whore like that. When he finally accomplishes it, he’s all giddy and grinning. A real grin. Not that bs one, the smug one you wanna knock off his damn cute freckly face. If you’re an alt/goth who likes less traditional first dates, you happen to be in luck because Tommy is lowkey high key very very good at thinking outside the box and somehow, he’ll manage to nail down something totally unique, maybe a little weird but definitely thoughtful. This is when you know he’s serious, btw. Because if he’s looking for a casual fuck or three, he won’t often bother. And he’s not really a casual fucker type, Imo.. So, yes. You have just gotten yourself a brawny, mouthy, fireball jock boyfriend.

✯ Will surprise you with random stuff. Maybe he sees you eyeing a rock or something. Maybe it’s a cameo at some pawn shop in town. Maybe it’s just deeeep red roses. It winds up in your possession.

✯ Tommy in a known goth hangout, this is more funny than it should be. I picture him trying to make the Moonwalk happen to some slower paced Cure song. And everyone will be staring at him like what the fucking hell? But he doesn’t mind doing things that make you happy. And he’s not really bothered by the staring or anything. He’s uh… developed himself a thick skin.

✯ This man will literally fistfight God if somehow, God were to upset you. This isn’t just applied to alt/goth, but to anyone he lets close enough to him to care about deeply. Tommy is like… Real protective. Real protective.

✯ Cannot keep his hands off you. Loves to watch you getting all the makeup on when you’re going out somewhere. Genuinely enjoys showing you off when you’re with him and does not give one flat footed fuckola if everybody else is looking at you two like you’re the oddest couple they’ve ever seen.
