boyfriend henry who had a sophisticated plan to ask you out, involving a lot of ancient texts and a code based on the dates that he borrowed books for you from the library. he had it all planned out, but he got a week into implementing his plan before he found himself leaving a bouquet of flowers and a simple note on your desk. you found it just as charming, anyway.

boyfriend henry who told you he loved you very early on. he didn't do it because he was intense (although he was). he told you because he knew that he could be distant at the best of times, and you were the first person he'd really cared about making sure you knew where you stood. which was above everyone else, and he told you so in plain words to get it out of the way.

boyfriend henry who hasn't actually said 'i love you' since then. despite his intelligence and his talent with language, he's not big on verbal affirmations. he shows his affection in other ways: writing out extracts from whatever tome he's reading that he thinks you'll like, buying nice jewellery for you, carrying the umbrella over you when it rains.

boyfriend henry who doesn't do much physical affection either, but always has a hand on you somehow. it's gotten to the point where you feel lost without the familiar pressure of his large hand on the small of your back when you walk. his favourite way of touching you is to sit side by side and read, his hand resting lightly on your leg, just above your knee. modest, but very much there.

boyfriend henry who lets you get away with things. a lot of things. he lets you poke fun at him without protest. he lets you steal his expensive clothes and never bothers to tell you that the white dress shirt you like to steal was a few hundred bucks, or that the cufflinks you borrowed for a formal event were worth more than your car.

boyfriend henry who smiles when you try to fix his bad habits. he smiled when you asked him to quit smoking, and now he just smokes every now and again socially with the others. he smiled when you pointed out his questionable driving safety, and now he slows down when you're in the car. he smiled when you poked fun at his recipes, which were chicken, roast potatoes, and everything boiled, and now he patiently watches and learns as you cook.

NSFW:

boyfriend henry who was a virgin when you met. he was wary about initiating anything, and it took a quiet, intimate conversation for you to understand why. the two of you went a good while into your relationship without having sex.

boyfriend henry who is the one that does initiate it, eventually. it started with a soft kiss on the lips, one of the brief ones that the two of you often exchanged. then he rested his hand gently on your hip, silently letting you know he wasn't finished yet. and it was the same gentle touch on your stomach when he silently asked to unbutton your blouse, and the same gentle touch on your pelvis when he silently pushed further.

boyfriend henry who was clumsy and stiff the first time, and then came back the next time with such an improvement that you knew he had utilised his perfect memory to study the experience like a goddamn greek test. and, after you chuckled at him, you were basking in the rewards.

boyfriend henry who knows your body very well. he treats sex as an opportunity to remind you of how important you are to him, and so he takes it very seriously. sometimes it can be slow because of how careful he is about everything, but the unintentional teasing always pays off because he knows just how to bring you right there.

boyfriend henry who does get a little freer with affection after he's been inside you a few times. he realised that he'd been as close to you as he physically could be, and everything had been warm and comfortable, so he takes the same approach to everyday life. it's only small changes, but you notice that he has you sit in his lap sometimes, and he doesn't stop himself from holding you close in the shower and in bed.
