Did someone say dates at a 50s style diner? No? Well you’re getting them
He’s not the best at verbally expressing his emotions
But what he lacks for verbal affection, he makes up for in physical affection (Hugging you, kissing you, holding you, or even just having his hands somewhere on you)
That being said, he also loves receiving physical affection
He loves it when you wear his clothes.
He’s particularly fond of the times when you where his white t-shirts
He is the biggest tease you’ll ever meet
There are two types of people that make his heart jump out of his chest. Those who can knock his lights out with ease (quite the challenge) and cute but feisty people
But, you don’t necessarily have to be either one of those to make his heart flutter
He likes to brag about you and show you off to people
He doesn’t show it, but he’s often worried that you’ll realize that you can do so much better than him
He doesn’t know what he’d do if he ever lost you
Prepare to have a first aid kit on hand at all times because of how many fights he gets into
Now that he’s dating you, most of which will probably because some asshole was making eyes at you or making you uncomfortable
He would prefer an s/o that is vegan/vegetarian, but he won’t push it on you or judge you if you’re not, however, he’s not going to be the one buying the meat
I 110% believe that Ivan would work in a flower shop/greenhouse (hell, he might even own it)
Just imagine this giant and kinda intimidating dude being so gentle with little potted plants and succulents, smiling as he arranges bouquets, always having a little bit of dirt smudged on him (usually his hands or face), and just being happy and at peace with life!!!
Calluses on his hands due to rose thorns
To tie into that one, he finds de-thorning the roses to be therapeutic in a way
Having to carry buckets of water around for the flowers means muscles babey!
Him being sad when he has to throw away the flowers that didn’t sell
When a parent brings their kid in he’d give them a little daisy (as long as the kid isn’t an ass)
Weddings would be his favorite event to make flower arrangements/bouquets for, a close second is the people who get flowers for their s/o “just because”
A quick glare to any pissy customer would have them on their best behavior
Anyway, I just love the idea of Ivan being a florist
He walks into the bedroom to see you standing in front of the mirror with one of his white t-shirts on. It comes down just past your fingertips, barely covering your butt.
“Damn, doll.” He gives you a once over from where he stands in the doorway, biting his lower lip. "Why didn't you wear one of my shirts sooner?"
Your face flushes. "Well, I-" You go silent as you watch him take wide strides across the room towards you.
His hands find their place on your hips, squeezing softly. "Glad these are cheap." He lifts the hem up a little, his lips grazing your neck. "'Cause I'm gonna be tearin' it off ya."
