Hello :) Could I request some general fluff headcanons with Dedan?
Tumblr media
Hello, thank you for clarifying and adding your own idea, it made it a bit easier to come up with something! Dedan is pretty underrated, my friend really simps for him, though!
General Fluff Headcanons For Dedan
While Dedan may not be a romantic at heart, he certainly tries for you. While he may not be around as often as you’d want him to, due to him running his zone rather strictly, he will take you along with him. Sure, there’s not much time for picnics and the likes, but if you want, he’s more than happy to have you tag along during one of his daily checkups on zone one. He knows he’s strong enough to defeat any and all spectres that you might come across, so he will keep you close to him, even if he knows you’re capable of defending yourself. He just really wants to be close to you and spend time with you.
While physical touch may not be his number one love language, he doesn’t particularly mind it either, as long as it’s in private. He’s more than happy to hold and cuddle you as you wish, even while he’s doing paperwork, but he won’t particularly initiate anything in public. He might ask you to stop. After all, he has a reputation to uphold. Plus someone might use you against him. He knows he’s capable of defeating anyone, but he doesn’t want you to be hurt, so he tries to keep your relationship a secret.
His fingers are very long and his hands are rather large, so it’s quite easy for him to engulf your hands with his. In fact, he could very easily deck and or kill you with them if he so pleased. That’s why he finds the fact you play with his hands absentmindedly rather important: you trust him. You trust him enough that you’re not afraid of him. He’s killed countless spectres, the residents of zone one fear him because of the power he holds. But you, on the other hand, divert his attention from him from time to time and give him so many opportunities to hurt you. He appreciates you letting your guard down around him as everyone tenses up whenever Dedan is near.
The closest thing you’ll be getting to a proper “date” would be riding a pedalo with him. Yes, it’s not the most romantic thing, but it’s better than nothing at all. After all, you can hold onto him as he pedals you both around. Sure, it might just be to recalibrate some puzzles, see if they still work or change the solution to them for security purposes, but it’s nice nevertheless. Because he can’t particularly stop you from holding onto him, as you might fall into the water and meet a spectre, that’s the one time he won’t mind you being touchy with him in public.
While meat may be plentiful in his world, I can imagine he would get cravings for something sweet for once every once in a while. Sugar may be dangerous to consume, but if consumption is limited, then surely it can’t be completely bad, right? While he would enjoy something domestic like baking a cake every once in a while, he knows he isn’t able to. That’s why he would be genuinely surprised if you ever baked him a cake. Even something small, like a cookie, would garner his attention immediately. Yes, he may not be capable of smiling too much due to a lack of lips, but he will show his gratitude.
Speaking of gratitude, if you’ve done him enough “favours”, which are really just general kindness and small things, such as sorting his paperwork when he’s away, he will try to be more romantic for once. Once the sun has gone away and the moon comes out to play, Dedan, despite being tired, will try his best to take you out on a walk at night underneath the stars. He isn’t really attached to them, but he thinks the gesture is nice. When it’s dark and peaceful outside, it feels like no one can bother and or disturb him, so he wants to spend that time with you, too!
