♡ Imagine your f/o reassuring you about their dangerous lifestyle.
Whether they might have unsavory dealings with dangerous people, or are said dangerous person, they thought that you might have some worries being associated with them so closely. If there have been close calls in the past, they sit you down during a calm moment to check in on you, talking to you about how they didn’t mean for things to happen how they did, but they couldn’t deny they knew the possibilities of danger for you were high by mere association.
They want to protect you, and if you’re keen to it– to be able to protect yourself from the dangers their lifestyle might bring onto your doorstep. They don’t want you to get hurt, or to be forced to do something you didn’t want to. They give you options to opt out, to live a safer lifestyle away from them, but it’s never that easy, because you love them. You’re there for them, through hell and back. Nothing can change this.
You’re willingness to endure, your acceptance, it makes them feel a little less concerned seeing as you are well aware of what might reside in the future. They’ll protect you, just as much as you’re willing to protect them however you can.
♡ Imagine patching up your f/o after an altercation.
They knew to come to you for help. You may or may not ask how they got themselves in the state they were, perhaps they’re quiet and reserved about the ordeal when they first called, preferring to not discuss what happened to spare you the gruesome details. Or alternatively they tell you how everything unfolded as you clean their wounds gently, trying not to press them about their choices.
Whether it’s minor scratches, a deep gash or a gunshot wound, they knew to trust you with patching them up. Especially if they couldn’t trust immediate help depending on what they did exactly.
A certain closeness to them as you stitch them up is relieving, the silence and comfort of being near them and making sure they’re okay by your own hands. Applying bandages and checking in with them to make sure nothing is too tight or uncomfortable. It’s a time of bonding between you both, making sure they’re all cleaned up and ready to heal over the next few days. Stripping them of their bloodied clothes, running them a bath or a shower, and making sure they don’t strain themselves by moving too quickly.
Expressing how you love and care about them, and how they have to be a little more careful no matter what business they get up to. You can’t afford to lose them, they know this, and they promise you to try and be a bit more ample to preserving their body from more harm. Though they appreciate what you do for them, and how you don’t judge them for how they got such injuries in the first place. They love you for this, for being so accepting and caring, it might not be something they were used to, but you’ve changed that for the better.
♡ Imagine helping your f/o by cleaning blood from their clothes.
Perhaps they just didn’t have the time or are too exhausted after whatever they did, or maybe you just want to lend a helping hand. They appreciate it a lot, especially if they got those recognizable red stains on one of their favorite shirts, showing gratitude once they find it nicely folded and clean on their dresser. The gesture though small in theory, really shows how much you care about them.
Imagine a road trip with your f/o. Maybe it was a spontaneous idea, the kind that leaves you packing at last second with a guarantee you’re going to forget something you need or maybe you’re more organized and you and your f/o planned ahead with plenty of time to prepare. Once on the road, you take turns driving and the whoever’s not at the wheel gets to lay in the back. It was a little difficult to decide what places you would visit but in the end it was a wonderful journey and brought you and your f/o closer as a couple.
