-you might not be an overly badass type, or maybe you are, but regardless, Tak sees and appreciates

-you might not be an overly badass type, or maybe you are, but regardless, Tak sees and appreciates your badass-ery

-he’s not really a talker so you learn to read his body language

-and then the two of you just mirror each other with this unspoken language

-and people are super weirded out by you two

-you make him smile :)

-standing next to each other shoulder to less tall shoulder

-meeting Poe who calls you ‘Tak’s lady friend’

-it would start with staying at his place because you both fall asleep working on the case

-and then he suggests you stop sleeping on the floor when he has a giant bed

-and after that… well it just escalates, this is Kovacs we’re talking about.

-Poe asks about you a lot and once you start staying over he grins every time he sees you

-Tak telling you about his life as pillow talk

-meeting his sister who hates you because she hates everyone Tak loves more than her, that’s just a given

-patching Kovacs up whenever he gets himself hurt

-coming across the pink unicorn bag

-”what is this?” “its my bag.” “yeah, but… Kovacs, please, what the fuck.”

-he likes to do that grumbly thing when he doesn’t feel like talking

-or just grabbing you and throwing you on the bed, that works too

-he’s not a great communicator which you’d have to get used to

-but he can show a lot just based on his physicality

-its like your own Takashi sign language

-but when he tells you he loves you, it means even more
