Hello there SkunkAnon! I have to say, I'm happy to see some love for Felix in my inbox. I definitely think he is an underrated guard, and deserves much more love than he gets. Felix is one of those characters I just love writing for because he is just such a likeable person in my worldbuilding? I also imagine he has some fun dynamics with various parts of the guard. But; this time we dive deep into how this wonderful man would make his mate swoon.

In comparison to his best friend and brother in arms Demetri; Felix is of a much more accepting nature. He has been waiting for this day, wondering when a potential mate would cross his path. Felix is over two thousands years old, and has seen many bonded pairs find their way to one another. He didn't necessarily feel distressed about not having a mate at his side, but he couldn't help but wonder what it would feel like. To have someone look at him in that way, with such utter devotion and love.
Now, do not get me wrong; Felix has not sat around and simply waited for his mate. He has engaged in dalliances and casual enough relationships through the years, but nothing was ever permanent or official.
So, a September morning he finds himself on a mission together with Demetri. They were out doing some reconnaissance on a couple of nomads that were moving a little too close to Volterra. And for the very first time Felix feels that pull when his eyes meet one of the nomads, he can't help the smile that spreads on his face. Luckily, his potential mate ends up returning it; albeit a little unsure and confused about what just happened. They would agree to come back to Volterra with him and Demetri, wanting to see where this could lead just as much as he did.
One thing he might be worried about is his reputation as the Volturi's executioner. In truth, Felix often look scarier than he actually is. Yes, he is an exceptional fighter and a soldier through and through at this point; but he's not going to be a brute. He is quite dependable and well liked, and he wanted nothing more than for his potential mate to have the same impression of him.
Felix is a big flirt, but unlike Demetri's flirtations that can come across as a bit hollow; Felix's are so sincere. When he compliments someone or engages in a conversation he is genuinely interested in that person. When it came to his mate, they truly were destined to fall for this smooth talking gentle giant; it would be a shock if they didn't. The palace would watch as the couple steadily fell in love.
There was one thing Felix was mildly stressing about; and that was if his mate and Demetri would get along. His bestfriend was known for not letting just anyone close to him. His mate was quite understanding and sweet, but you could not force chemistry between two people. Imagine his relief when he one day walked by the library and overheard his two favourite people in a heated yet fond debate about some kind of book. His joy was unimaginable.
The first time he kissed his mate he was so ridiculously nervous he needed three pep talks from Demetri before his romantic outing. In the end the midnight stroll through the garden had went far better than he had imagined; Felix was on a high. As they rounded the fountain he brought them down to sit besides him at the edge. Their conversation naturally halted and they found themselves sitting in comfortable silence. Felix would reach out and gently grab their chin, tilting it as he leaned down to press his lips against theirs. When they reciprocated he would pull them into his arms and make sure they knew exactly how he felt about them. He had found his other half, and would not let them go.
Felix is exceptionally gentlemanly, definitely appreciates the code of conduct that comes with chivalry. He has been drinking Respect People Juice all day every day, and has done so since 53BC. If there ever is an issue or something his mates needs to bring up; Felix is there to listen and work on this with them.
Would be that type of man that just brings up his mate whenever something makes him think of them, in time, it becomes an inside joke among the guard. Felix doesn't particularly mind that they tease him from time to time, he will gush about his mate regardless.
"You know this reminds me of-" The rest of the guard in a bored, yet loving tone "My dear mate." "... Do you have to say it in unison?" Everyone: "Yes."
PDA: Felix is a high standing member within the coven, with that comes a lot of respect and responsibility. He will keep things professional when he has to. Whenever he is off duty however, it is quite common to see him walk hand in hand with his mate. If he finds himself in the guards recreational room he will not hesitate to pull his significant other into his lap, wrapping big strong arms around them as he leans in to place a kiss against their temple.
Terms of endearment Felix would use: Dear, Sweetheart, I can also imagine Felix adopting the term Babe if his mate happens to be from our time period. It is such a versatile word that can be said in so many different ways.
Anyone who would observe the couple would be moved by the utter devotion that Felix would show his mate. He truly looked at them as if they hung the stars in the sky.
In the end, Felix had earned himself both a pillar and a soft place to fall for all of eternity.
