okay, with Mishka saying that it's a matter of the moment just "feeling right" for N to drop the [redacted pet name] on the romanced detective, i was talking with @agentnatesewell about N (as one does) and just-
imagine N and the detective chilling - say in the library, at Haley's or in either of their beds - and the detective does or says something (likely mundane but also Not) and N just calls the detective a term of endearment in, say, Farsi? like, it simply spills out of them without much of a conscious thought.
it just. makes me so soft because, clearly, the act of calling someone by that pet name means something to N. can you imagine being filled with so much love for a person that something so meaningful just slips out from you without you intending it to? like, the mere sight of this person making it unbearable for your mind to keep the love to itself and it just sort of bursts out of you?
then maybe N fully realises this belatedly, maybe a moment or few later. it's probably now that they newly realise the full depth of their feelings and what this love has uncovered for them in a very "oh wow, this is new"-kind of way.
and then they call the detective by this pet name with intention - a purposeful, intentional, conscious usage of it - but with just every but of a lovesick smile on their face as they had when they called the detective that the first time.
