I freaking love it when he shows his playful side 😊

Despite how quiet and impassive he always seems, Desmond does have a side to him where he becomes more flirty and a bit more playful than he normally is. It’ll come in the form of him picking me up from behind out of nowhere or, when we’re laying together, grazing my body with the back of his fingers because he knows it gets a reaction out of me, etc. He doesn’t have the best mental health, which, as much as I adore Desmond, makes me sad for him. But when he starts getting like this, it just makes me happy and has me giggling like crazy. It shows that he’s feeling so relaxed and comfortable, to where he can openly flirt and act silly with his girlfriend, as he should. I wish he could be like this all the time, but I never hold it against him that he’s not. Not ever. Taking care of how he feels all of the time is more important than enjoying a fleeting moment when he feels at ease.
