Gender: gn!Reader
A/N: Arranged by tallest to shortest for everyone above 175 cm.
Malleus
- Malleus appeared surprised at first, given that no one had tried to reach for or pat his head, not even Lilia – at least not after Malleus became an adult.
- He found your act endearing as it was rare for anyone to show affection towards him.
- Smiling gently, he bent down to make it easier for you to pat his head. The prince was more than happy to accept your pats, though he didn’t know the reason behind your sweet action. But he wasn’t complaining.
- Malleus was amused and happy as he studied your sparkling eyes. “(Y/n), you are adorable. I could consume you whole.”
- Shifting your eyes to Malleus, you looked at him questioningly, to which he laughed.
Sebek
- Sebek was lecturing someone for stepping out of line, and once he was done, he turned to face you. He was surprised to see you standing on a chair and was about to yell at you to get down.
- But when you touched his head, Sebek became silent. He was flustered and confused as he was not accustomed to such personal and sweet gestures.
- Averting his eyes, Sebek tried to think of something to say to you. He didn’t think yelling at you to back away would be a good idea; your head pat was a gesture of admiration for him, so he didn’t want to scare you.
- Once you stopped, Sebek awkwardly reached his hand to your head and gave you slightly but unintentionally rough head pats. He didn’t know what else he was supposed to do.
Silver
- Silver curiously watched you getting onto the garden’s low retention wall. But he quickly hurried close to you when you stood up on it because he didn’t want you to lose your balance and hurt yourself.
- However, he didn’t expect you to pat his head. For a moment, he stared at you, surprised, but soon, a gentle smile tugged on his lips.
- He might not have said anything, but Silver appreciated your sweet gesture. As you patted his head, he stood still, enjoying the warmth and comfort your gesture brought to his heart.
Jack
- Jack tensed up and became uncomfortable as he was not used to displays of affection.
- His first instinct was to grab your hand and glare at you, but then he remembered you were his girlfriend/boyfriend. The last thing he wanted was to scare or intimidate you.
- When he saw the sparkle in your eyes, he figured it was your way to show affection. So, Jack bent down to your height and smiled, letting you pat his head.
- As long as you don’t try to grab or touch his ears, he will let you pat his head as much as you like.
Leona
- The lion watched you struggle for a moment before you left and returned with a stepping stool. He was confused and amused, wondering what you planned to do.
- When your hand touched his head, Leona stiffened and raised an eyebrow, giving you a questioning look.
- He grumbled something about you trying to invade his personal space and trying to touch his ears without his permission. But deep down, he secretly appreciated the affectionate gesture.
- “Herbivore, don’t think you’ll get away with it the next time.” Though he warned you to never do that again, Leona secretly hoped you would pat his head again.
Trey
- As soon as he saw you jumping up with your hand stretched up, Trey knew what you were trying to do. His younger sibling had tried the same thing on him various times.
- With a smile, he bent down, let you remove his hat, and pat his head until you were satisfied.
- In return, he placed his hand on your head, and you expected him to give you head pats; instead, he tussled your hair, ruining your hairstyle.
- When you protested, Trey laughed. “You still look cute, so why are you upset?”
Cater
- Cater was surprised when you reached for his head and patted it in the middle of the conversation. He didn’t know what he did to deserve a head pat, but Cater was happy. Out of habit, he took out his phone and snapped a selfie, capturing the moment permanently.
- He pinched your cheeks. “You are too cute.”
- Without warning, Cater picked you up and spun you around, laughing with you. When he put you down, Cater brought his face down to your height and placed your hand on top of his head again.
Vil
- As soon as he removed his crown and let his hair down, you stepped up on his vanity mirror’s stool. Vil noticed you in the reflection of the mirror and was about to ask you to get down, but then you patted his head.
- Vil was surprised and taken aback, given that no one dared to invade his personal space, especially not in this manner.
- Though he wasn’t happy about his hair being touched, Vil found your way of showing his affection unique and cute.
- His eyes remained soft, but his voice was stern. “Keep your back and shoulders straight. Your head pats are slightly rough and will damage my hair, so lighten your touch.”
- As he watched you follow his instructions without protest, Vil chuckled to himself. You were truly adorable.
Rook
- Rook studied you briefly but directly asked what you were trying to do. When you told him you wanted to pat his head, he removed his hat and graciously bowed.
- Giggling, you gave him a few head pats. But once you were done, Rook spoke loudly, startling you. “Mon coeur!”
- With a chivalrous demeanor, the hunter got down on one knee and took your hand. He pressed his lips to the back of your hand.
- His eyes sparkled as he flashed you a so-in-love smile. “Mon/Ma chéri(e), your endearing gesture had awakened my dormant heart. From this moment forth, mon coeur est à toi!”
Idia
- He heard you sneaking up behind him as he examined Ortho’s new armor parts but didn’t think much of it. Until he heard something like constant jumping.
- Turning around, Idia saw you motion him to bend down. Without thinking much, he gave in to your request. But when you patted his head, Idia squealed slightly and backed away. He was not used to physical contact and definitely not used to direct displays of affection.
- You still didn’t give up and got close to him with a warm smile. Idia followed your hand to his hair and watched you pat it gently.
- Though frozen in place, he couldn’t deny that your gesture made him feel warm and fuzzy.
Floyd
- Floyd looked at you with scrunched eyebrows as you jumped up and down with your arm stretched up. What were you trying to do?
- Without warning, he grabbed you by the waist and lifted you up, making you squeal in surprise. But he helped you reach your goal, and you took that to your advantage and patted his head.
- His confusion turned into amusement as he laughed. “Shrimpy, all you had to do was tell me you wanted to pat my head.”
- After he put you back on the ground, Floyd pinched your cheeks and harmlessly teased you about your height. “If you’re gonna do that again, I will charge you for it by stealing kisses from you.”
Jade
- Jade observed your efforts to reach his head with an amused and curious expression. He didn’t know what he did or said to where it pushed you to want to pat his head.
- Seeing that the two of you were alone, Jade removed his hat and bent down to your height. He watched you with a soft smile as you enjoyed a rare moment of vulnerability and openness.
- Once you were satisfied, Jade tenderly pressed his lips to your forehead. “I feel the need to borrow Floyd’s words. I wish to consist you as you are too cute to resist.”
Azul
- Azul noticed you watching him like a hawk as he moved around his office. He wasn’t sure why you were looking at him that way but didn’t think much of it.
- When he sat down, he saw you spring up from your seat and hurry towards him. Although, Azul never expected you wanted to pat his head.
- Initially, he was surprised and tensed up but quickly regained his composure. He analyzed your intentions and wondered why you were showing his affection out of nowhere. But Azul was unable to find anything that was out of place.
- The octopus sighed and chuckled as he shrugged and let you pat his head. It was just another step to deepening his connection with you, so Azul accepted your head pats quietly.
