pairing: neal the eel x reader

post type: headcanons + little dialouge

warnings: mentions of violence bc of vile, these were originally written before s4 so i kept that timeframe, an electric eel for a pet, slight mention of being bullied. i wrote these in google docs and was too lazy to not capitalize everything like how i usually do lol

I have to start with the fact that Neal did not think he was going to get this far with you. He’s always fancied you, and a part of him is still surprised that you want to be his just as he’s yours. Definitely No Complaints!!

Everyone here knows that he's physically flexible, but he’s also flexible in other ways as well. A very go-with-the-flow fellow! From missions being on date night to a sudden change in emotion from you, you can count on him to be readily prepared!

Neal absolutely uses kiwi slang! If you also speak his slang he’s overjoyed! He makes fun of you if you don’t lol, he’ll teach you though don’t worry!

“Rattle your dags, love! We’re going to be late!”

“..????”

Yes yes, he calls people ‘love’ platonically, yes yes. However, you’re his love. He uses that term romantically only with you. You have backup nicknames as well! His favorites include Honey, Dear, Darling, and Dearest. Call him Baby. Do It.

Neal has naturally slick skin. Since he uses this ability in his line of work often, Neal makes sure to stay properly hydrated. Your bathroom counter is covered in his lotions, creams, and vaselines. (Surprise him with his own organizer.) Skin care also includes the two of you doing face masks together. He prefers the gel kind since sheet masks don't fit his face. 

I cannot shake the feeling that you would own a pet Electric Eel. Her name is Madame Mia and she’s his best friend (you’re in second place, sorry /lh) Her aquarium is huge and contains countless water life plants. Neal treats her like royalty, giving her the best food he can find!

Neal is a cuddlebug!! It’s comforting to him to know you’re right there and not leaving. He likes to be all over you, he’s very affectionate and not scared to show it! He gets hot and sticky quickly, so he’ll keep his distance throughout the night. ((Keep an arm around him anyways!))

Neal has two wolves inside of him. One wants to be the King of PDA, letting anyone and everyone know you’re together. The other wants to act like he doesn’t know you in public to protect you.

Working for VILE means giving up normal routines that you won’t realize until it’s too late. Any pair of eyes could mean losing his memory of you forever, it’s quite nerve wracking to be out and about with you :(  Despite this, Neal goes out of his way to assure his love for you.

A way he does this is by being a chivalrous gentleman. Expect your doors to be opened, seats pulled out, and your knuckles kissed! Fluster him when he does this. Run your fingers gently across the side of his face, tuck a string of his hair behind his ear, kiss his cheek. A simple “Thank you, Baby.” will have him come undone in your hands. Physical touch is his weakness. 

Neal is a Little Stinker (affectionately) who lovingly pokes fun at you, in all good fun ! He knows when to stop! Due to his upbringing being made fun of for his physical attributes, he swore to never do the same to you. Instead, he loves to leave you flustered! 

Compliments and flirting, galore!! He wants to remind you of all the little things that had him falling for you in the first place. From the way you bounce back on his witty remarks, the feeling of your skin against his, your smile after he litters your face with kisses. You have him wrapped around your finger!

He’s insatiable about you. You’ve stolen his heart and his life with it! He’s proud to be yours!
