Subtle gestures can convey deep affection and understanding without the need for words. Here are 10 subtle ways to reveal just how much your character cares, without using words:
1. Surprising Them with Their Favorite Snack
Character A notices Character B eyeing their favorite treat at a store/party, and later surprises them with it, showing they're paying attention to the little things.
2. Fixing Something Without Being Asked
When B's favorite [object] breaks, A quietly repairs it and leaves it for them to find. This doesn't have to be about objects, e.g. issues like not having a ride home and A picks them up without B asking.
3. Leaving a Hidden Note
A slips a small note into B's bag or coat pocket, something sweet or funny; could be good after a minor fight, or if B has a dangerous career.
4. Covering Them with a Blanket
B falls asleep on the couch, and A drapes a blanket over them gently. Again, cute if it's after a fight.
5. Warming Their Hands with Theirs
On a chilly day, A takes B’s cold hands into their own without a word, offering warmth and comfort.
6. Offering Their Jacket
As B shivers in the cold, A instinctively hands over their jacket without waiting to be asked. Post-fight cuteness x3
7. Cleaning Up After a Tough Day
B comes home exhausted, and A has already tidied up the space. Great if they're married with kids.
8. Brushing Something Off Their Face
When B has a strand of hair or speck of dust on their face, A gently brushes it away; a classic, intimate action.
9. Waiting Up for Them to Get Home
A stays up late just to make sure B gets home safely, greeting them with a warm smile or a cup of tea when they walk in.
10. Running an Errand They Dislike
Knowing B dreads a particular chore or errand, A does it for them without making a big deal, or when they’re stressed/sad.

Even though I spend little time on Tumblr, it is the only place where I can appreciate the sensitivity of others, the purest feelings, here I find a happy place even if it is just a screen.
The Birth of Venus (1912)
— by Adolph Hirémy-Hirschl
I long to be a king, yet my soul craves to roam free. I dream of wealth and golden rings, but not at the cost of humility. I yearn to be truly loved, but fear the price I cannot see.
Elias was born a nobody. No one looked at him, no one listened to him. He learned to smile, to listen with his soul, and to speak with his heart. How do you know so much about love? "I was waiting for you," he replied, his voice like a breeze that caresses the soul. From then on, they were no longer invisible. Together they shone, proving that even the smallest can become someone unforgettable, like shooting stars in the darkest night.
"Slytherin will help you on your way to greatness."
Just nice
