Pre-asylum:~There has never been a more perfect man and I will not be hearing anyone out about anything~Kit smells like motor oil and cigarettes, in the best way~Holds your jaw when he kisses you, I don’t make the rules~Exclusively calls you “doll” “honey” or his “little wife” ~Though, sometimes, when it’s just the two of you and you’re both feeling especially playful, he calls you “wifey” just so you’ll call him “hubby”~Surprising him at work with lunch, which the guys at the shop all tease him for~Playful taps on your ass, especially when you’re least expecting it~Loves the feeling of your nails on his skin. Like, run your hands through his hair and this man melts~Hugs you around your middle a lot and buries his face wherever he can get it, so that he can breathe you in and be surrounded by you for a while~He always has dirty hands, and leaves oil stains on all of your towels and blankets without even meaning to. Sometimes, he even swipes a dirty thumb over your face to watch the jet black liquid mar your skin~Huffs and puffs under his breath when he’s frustrated about something but doesn’t actually want to bother you about it~Making dinner together after a long day, and Kit ends up making more of a mess than actually helping you in the kitchen~Puts money away in a coffee can under the bed for a couple months to buy you real fancy present for your anniversary because you deserve it~Will put off washing his hair until you can do it for him just so that he can enjoy having you so close to him~Fidgets with his wedding ring constantly when it’s on his hand~When he’s at work though, Kit wears his ring on a silver chain around his neck, so that i falls just above his heart all day without him having to worry about losing it~Super protective of you to the point of absurdity~Once got in a fight with some guy at the bar after one too many for making a comment about you that he didn’t like~Runs you baths sometimes, with that fancy bubble bath your friend brought in that basket for your birthday a few years ago~Then, taking that bath with you and soaking together until the water is a nipping cold~You haven’t opened a door since you started dating, whether that be a car door, your front door, or the door to your favorite diner in town~Late night kisses that taste like beer and stale cigarette~Kit strikes me as the kind of husband who likes to help you get ‘unready’ as much as he likes to watch you get dolled up. Like, he would help you out of your shoes, unzip your dress, and undo your necklace and put it in the jewelry box~Is obsessed with watching you put on your makeup, often standing behind you in the mirror with his hands on your hips and his chin resting in the crook of your neck~Kit has a heart of gold and knows how to use it when it comes to youInside Briarcliff:~Talking to one another about the lives you lived before this and who you always dreamed you would be, outside of the circumstances~Kit doing his best to protect you in there, always staying close when he can and even taking a caning or two when you’re in the wrong place at the wrong time~Talking every night through the walls of your rooms, and finding comfort in his voice~Holding you close and tight whenever he gets the opportunity, in an effort to keep you from feeling less alone while also making himself feel better~Walking the grounds together, even holding hands on occasion when there’s no one around to put a stop to it
