Dedicated to: @parvulous-writings love ya to bits.

[Not my gif]

A - Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

Hopper will only show true affection when the two of you are alone. Sure, he may put an arm around you or give you a quick kiss in public, but he never does anything over the top, or major.

B - Best Friend (What would they be like as a best friend? Where does the friendship start?)

Hopper is the kind of friend that would try and protect you at all costs if you were very close, but you'd also have to remind him to take a little bit of time for himself as well.

C - Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

Hopper actuality loves cuddling. Again, only when the two of you are alone. He won't admit it, but you cuddling up to him on he sofa is one of the best feelings in the world. He adores settling down with you with a bag of popcorn and a movie.

D - Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking, cleaning, ect?)

Hopper can cook basic things. He can't cook you a full three course meal, but he can make simple things like breakfast. As for cleaning, he only cleans when he feels like cleaning. He doesn't live in his own mess, but he doesn't clean every day either.

E - Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

If he had to end it, most likely he'd be rather blunt about it. Well, he'd try to show emotion, but he wouldn't let you down slowly either. He'd hope the two of you can still be friends, even after the breakup.

F - Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? Do they wanna get married?)

In all honesty, he's a little reluctant to anything like that. He'd be a little scared to commit to something, and probably wouldn't find himself proposing. If you proposed, he'd tell you that he needs a few days to think about it first.

G - Gentle (How gentle are they both physically and emotionally?)

He's only properly gentle when he knows the cause of your distress is him. He will obviously try and comfort you when you are upset for another reason, but when it's him.. he lets that really sink in. Then he feels guilty. And he will make a whole speech of an apology for you.

H - Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it, and what are they like?)

He doesn't hug you that much. Again, he will be down for cuddles on the sofa, but hugs just feel too short... too pointless, for him.

I - I Love You (How fast do they say the “love” word?)

Slowly. It takes him a while to even warm uo to you, the man has a whole facade around him, but when he finally begins to trust you... he will say the 'L' word. Give him time.

J - Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What are they like when jealous?)

Hopper isn't usually the jealous type, but if he sees someone else getting a little too up close and personal with you, or cive versa, he certainly won't be happy. He'll probably kiss you and get grabby with you to make a point, and then take you home, apologise, and cuddle on the sofa.

K - Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

Hopper's kisses are usually brief- and again, he will only give proper kisses when you're alone. He'll kiss you goodbye at the door, on the cheek, but in the heat of passion he will kiss you on the lips.

L - Little Ones (How are they around kids?)

He's... 50/50 when it comes to kids. Sometimes he can be the most loving, affectionate father you have ever seen. Others... not so much. He simply doesn't know how to properly care and nurture a child, especially young ones. If they aren't doing what they are told, he may try to resort to yelling to get his point across.

M - Morning (What are mornings like with them?)

On weekdays, when Hopper is working, he will usually get up early and be out of the house before you wake. He will leave you breakfast on the table though, that sometimes comes with a little note of affection. On weekends, mornings are... slow. And affectionate. You will both warm each other up because you are so close together, and it will sometimes last a few hours before one of you has to get up thanks to hunger.

N - Nights (How are nights spent with them?)

Nights are usually just the two of you waiting to see which of you will go to sleep first. Eventually though, he will turn out the lights and pull you into his chest as you doze off together.

O - Open (When do they open up about themselves?)

Only in arguments or quiet moments when you are opening up to him. Out of the anger of an argument, he will begin to tell you random bits about his life that he regrets later.

P - Patience (How easily angered are they?)

Very easily. This man's fuse is very low. If something doesn't quite go his way, he will be grumpy, and if that continues, he will become snappy and shouty.

Q - Quizzes (How much do they remember about you?)

He remebers what he needs to. You know, your birthday, your anniversary, ect, but occasionally you will tell him something and he will forget for the longest time, but when something regarding that topic comes back up again, he will remember.

R - Remember (Favorite memory with you?)

Probably when the two of you had your first proper date. It was actually on the sofa, you in his arms, a movie on the screen as you fed each other popcorn.

S - Security (How protective are they?)

Very protective. Someone threatens you? They're done. Someone hurts you? They're practically dead.

T - Try (How much effort do they put in?)

He does try. He really, really does. He wants to be better, for you. But he finds it so difficult. No matter how many times he asks someone how to be... affectionate, like a normal person would, he can't seem to wrap his head around it. At all.

U - Ugly (What are their bad habits?)

Smoking, drinking. He smokes a lot. Especially after a long day of work.

V - Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

He isn't overly concerned. He knows he looks good in whatever he wears, so he wears whatever is at hand. Of course, he does have some fashion sense. He won't go out wearing colours that contradict each other.

W- Whole. (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

He won't admit it, but... yes. He would. He'd miss you to pieces, but he won't ever talk about it. Not even to himself.

X - Xtra (Random HC)

The two of you once went rowing together. It was rather romantic, until he leaned in for a kiss and the both of you fell in the river. At first, he was pretty mad at himself, but then you seemed to be laughing, and so he did too. It was a fun night.

Y - Yuck (Things they don’t like either in general or a partner?)

Cocky or persistent people. That's it. They just... anger him.

Z - Zzz (Sleep habits)

He doesn't really have a sleep schedule. He'll sleep when he feels like it. When he does sleep, it's very difficult to wake him back up again. He'll also use you as a teddy bear.
