Woah ok fine stretches lemme do the first five

Headcannon may be REAAALLLY different from the actual FV surprisingly, or just ooc for them in general, so do be warned ^_^

[ ✋ ] They are metal servos, BUT I can probably attempt to describe how they are shaped? Long, rectangulated, and a little bit loose to help with the speed

[ ☂️ ] Surprisingly, at first, they fear it. Especially when Flash Vector randomly gets it from strangers, but as they trust a bot or a person more, they'll allow the human/bot to touch their frame. Special mention if you convinced him to have a lil ride with him

[ 🍄 ] Honestly? The sound of either planes or just racing engines in general. I remember my two cats just purring and cuddling around each other so much, and I'd like to think since both FV and SB are not only siblings, but speedy types in a way, it just mimics that cat behavior but with mild engine revving instead of purring. Thats the best way I can put it

[ 🕊️ ] Somewhere secluded and private alone or with his brother or mother figure [S.Gal]>>>. If voices are way too loud for him, he either opts out)tunes out/zones out or just find somewhere to relax for a while before throwing himself back at the situation in hand. He hates getting pressured a lot

[ 💤 ] Depends. Sprawled out if they are reaaally tired, but curled up when stressed or feeling uneasy. You can actually tell what his mood is just from his behavior in bed (when about to sleep you freak.)

Doing the others later because holy i am TIRED

"I ACCIDENTALLY TOLD YOU I LOVED YOU AND NOW WE'RE FINALLY TALKING ABOUT IT" PROMPTS *  assorted dialogue, adjust as necessary

so... about what happened back there.

did you mean it?

was that the truth?

i'm really glad you told me.

how long have you known?

i'm glad you were the braver of the two of us.

what was that all about?

it sort of... slipped out.

does this change anything between us?

you wouldn't happen to feel the same way, would you?

i just need some time to think.

you make it hard for me to think straight.

what the hell were you thinking back there?

that was a pretty big confession you made back there.

did you mean to blurt that?

so... can we talk about what happened?

are you angry at me?

it was a long time coming, that's for sure.

what if i said i love you, too?

it was the heat of the moment.

that was the wrong place, wrong time!

what on earth are you talking about?

i didn't mean to say it like that.

i told you the truth.

i think i'm just in shock.

it's a lot to consider.

you made things a bit awkward.

i thought i'd never see you again.

did you have to go and say it in front of them?

it was an accident. i didn't mean it.

i thought we agreed we wouldn't cross that line.

you said... "i love you."

i feel the same way, you know.

friends don't say stuff like that.

everything i said was the truth.

i'm not mad, i just need to think about it for a while.

this is a lot to process.

you could have waited to say that.

that wasn't fair.

i think i love you back.

i can't change how i feel.

maybe i've been feeling this way for a long time.

you didn't know?

i think i feel the same way.

i'm not sure what to believe.

we were about to be separated... it slipped out.

i thought i was about to die. i figured i should tell you the truth before that happened.

i can tell you're mad.

we're just friends!

cut the bullshit. tell me the truth.

maybe we should talk about this another time.

stop beating around the bush.

well... that happened.

were you ever going to tell me?

you just made things ten times more awkward.

once this is all over... let's talk about this again.

maybe we can work things out after all.

for what it's worth... i feel the same way.

If  I  am  a  monster,  perhaps  you  should  speak  more  softly  to  me,  then.  Monsters  are  dangerous  beasts,  and  just  now  kings  seem  to  be  dying  like  flies.

They’ve  never  seen  a  battle,  they’ve  never  seen  a  man  die,  they  know  nothing.

Woman?  Is  that  meant  to  insult  me?  I  would  return  the  slap,  if  I  took  you  for  a  man.

We  look  up  at  the  same  stars  and  see  such  different  things.

I  crossed  a  thousand  leagues  to  come  to  you,  and  lost  the  best  part  of  me  along  the  way.  Don't  tell  me  to  leave.

I've  lost  a  hand,  a  father,  a  son,  a  sister,  and  a  lover,  and  soon  enough  I  will  lose  a  brother.  And  yet  they  keep  telling  me  my  family  won  this  war.

All  these  kings  would  do  a  deal  better  if  they  would  put  down  their  swords  and  listen  to  their  mothers.

I  must  be  strong.  I  must  have  fire  in  my  eyes  when  I  face  them,  not  tears.

Why  ask  for  truth  if  you  close  your  ears  to  it?

There  is  a  savage  beast  in  every  man,  and  when  you  hand  that  man  a  sword  or  spear  and  send  him  forth  to  war,  the  beast  stirs.

Always  keep  your  foes  confused.  If  they  are  never  certain  who  you  are  or  what  you  want,  they  cannot  know  what  you  are  like  to  do  next.

If  you  love  me  all  so  much,  why  are  you  still  dressed?

There's  been  no  one.  Only  you.

Why  do  the  Gods  make  kings  and  queens  if  not  to  protect  the  ones  who  can't  protect  themselves?

Explain  to  me  why  it  is  more  noble  to  kill  ten  thousand  men  in  battle  than  a  dozen  at  dinner.

We're  all  just  songs  in  the  end.  If  we  are  lucky.

All  men  are  fools,  if  truth  be  told,  but  the  ones  in  motley  are  more  amusing  than  ones  with  crowns.
