How different dhmis teachers react to you asking them on a date & what they are like as you date them:
I'm bored and hyperfixated and I need words for NaNoWriMo.
cw: some mentions of alcohol (Time Child), obsessive and controlling behavior (Warren), and implied depression (Unemployed Brendon)
Warren the Eagle:
-Warren seems shocked at first, taken aback by your advances when he wasn't even sure you wanted to be his friend.
-Hearing this, you feel a bit bad that he hadn't realized you two were friends, but as you say that to him, he starts to panic a little, thinking he's upset you. (And he really REALLY doesn't want you to change your mind)
-You pull him into a hug, and it only takes half a millisecond before he is holding you back tight.
-"Yes!! Yes, yes, yes, yes, YES!" He holds you tight and you can't quite back away now, so you just melt into the hug, letting him tell you all about how excited he is.
-As a boyfriend, he is obsessive and no small amount of jealous.
-If you don't really have anyone else, he will happily take up every waking moment you have.
-He has major insomnia and may end up watching you sleep, but only when you already know that he's spending the night.
-If you do have people you care about and want to spend time with (whether family or friends) when he isn't there, he'll be too afraid of losing you to outright tell you that you can't do it, but he WILL guilt you and if you do happen to fall in love with him, he will get under your skin.
-If you get involved with him, its best to involve him. If the people in your life can stand him long enough to get to know him, your relationship will go a lot smoother.
-This guy is also a MASSIVE cuddler and very big on public displays of effection.
Colin the Computer:
-Colin was surprised by the question, but it's sort of hard to tell from the way that he responds.
-He considers it and for a moment, you think he's going to say no, but really his mind is seven steps ahead and he is looking up places that would be fun to go to, while also not being too awkward for a first date.
-When he finally speaks, it's to tell you that he's found live music festival at a park near you. There's dancing and food and it'll be a ton of fun!
-You feel your heart swell with joy, your face getting hot.
-If you aren't so sure about how well you dance, he is determined to teach you. To him, as long as you're close, any dancing is going to be perfect.
-As a boyfriend, he is a lot of fun but rather energetic.
-How close you are will determine how much physical contact there will be between you, so don't expect kisses on the first date, unless you have been friends for a good while.
-Once you've dated for a while, he will ALWAYS be wanting to hold hands though.
-He is SO much fun, if you're an extravert.
-He's an introverted extravert, though. So don't worry too much if you aren't, he'll always want to recharge his own batteries at home too.
The Briefcase (Lucky Mo):
-Mo is all business when it comes to dating. He is dating to find someone to marry. Family means a lot, but he doesn't actually want children.
-If you're rude to his brother, he is probably going to reject you immediately.
-But if you don't encourage his brother or are unmotivated by the concept of working yourself, he's also probably going to reject you as well, though he will always encourage you to 'try harder', even as a friend.
-If you have a job (whether or not you actually love it) and try to stay positive for Brendon, Mo will be a very encouraging lover and will want to go on as many dates as possible, as long as it works out around your schedules.
-He's a very loyal boyfriend, dependable and encouraging.
-He can be boring if you aren't proactive in finding things to do though, so be ready to make most of the choices for movie nights and where you go out to eat etc.
Unemployed Brendon:
-Brendon isn't sure what to say when you ask him out.
-He's not used to people who love him for who he IS, rather than who he could be.
-Yes, you will probably have to read his novel and if you didn't know it already, it's very sad with a very bittersweet ending.
-You'll actually be surprised by how well written it is though and wonder where on Earth he got his inspiration from. He doesn't seem to want to talk about it though.
-As a boyfriend, he is a bit of a nervous wreck, especially in the beginning. He doubts himself a lot, his ability, his life choices and most of all… if he is worthy of love at all.
-His relationships with his parents are in tatters and his brother just keeps pushing and pushing him to do better.
-His brother believes in him and while you can see the love behind it, you can also see the way that the stress of never being good enough wears down on Brendon…
-But he loves you a ton, very fast. He's not as obsessive and jealous as Warren is, but he will always want to be around you.
-He doesn't intentionally guilt you, but you know he can't help but feel like you're 'embarrassed' by him, if you don't take him places with you.
-If you can encourage him to go to therapy, you'd actually have a healthy, loving relationship with Brendon.
-You're paying for the therapy though.
-And pretty much everything else.
Electracey:
-When you ask 'Tracey on a date, she had sorta been under the assumption you were either already dating or on a date, at the very least.
-So she just continues conversing about whatever she had been thinking about, because of COURSE she wants to go on a date with you, silly!
-She'll take you on walks through cities or late night parties in the city when everything is lit up, particularly in the summer.
-Lots of life and energy comes with Tracey.
-She's sort of a combination of Colin and Mo, in that she has all sorts of energy and loves to do things (she also has a great sense of humor), but she is also much less touchy than Colin and working with the electric company, she has a steady income to do just about anything.
-The downside to Tracey is that she ALWAYS has energy.
-She is extremely outgoing and she is a definite extrovert.
-Don't expect 'downtime' with Tracey. She's up and out of the door early for a jog and likes to party hard on weekends.
-She's the sort that will invite friends over for dinner on a work night, but the friends don't even show up until 8:00pm and you have to be up at 6:00am.
-She's also not particularly tactile, so while she loves kisses and hugs, she's not really going to be holding your hand everywhere, or wrapping her arms around you while waiting for the bus.
-Then again, she thinks you're super cool even on days you don't like yourself and she can SHRED on that guitar, so it all equals out, yeah?
Time-Child:
-It's less that you've asked them on a date and more that you found yourself on a date, unsure of where.
-You only realize its a date, when T.C. wraps an arm around your waist pulls you into the VIP section of a very loud, very colorful club, introducing you to the bouncer as their date.
-It's a TON of fun, but by the end of the night, you're exhausted and ready to go home and T.C. just sort of drops you off and goes back to the club and you're left kinda wondering what happened and why they thought to bring you at all.
-They kinda leave you on read for a few weeks, until they show up on a long weekend, wanting to party again.
-This is going to keep going until you make yourself less fun to hang out with. Oh well, looks like you're stuck with them!
