Tumblr media
even before you and riff were dating, the jets (especially riff) were super protective of you
and once you two start going steady, they only get MORE protective
riff used to make sure a jet would walk you home if he couldn’t make it
but after you two start dating, it’s always him there, 9 times out of 10
riff tried his hardest to keep you out of the sharks vs. jets rivalry, he couldn’t stand the thought of something happening to you
and this idiot thought the best way to go about this was to not tell you ANYTHING at all
you had a series of long fights about him disappearing on you randomly, or blowing you off, leaving you to wonder about which ditch he was lying dead in
you lose track of the amount of times you have to show up to val’s, interrogating poor tony about the whereabouts of his best friend
(tony always gives in, you’re fucking scary when you want to be)
the two of you eventually sort things out, staying up all night talking and making up
riff promises to talk to you more, though he knows you’d prefer it if he wasn’t a part of this feud at all
but hey, at least it’s progress
riff always takes you as his date to the dances, no question
and if you don’t know how to dance, he will take the time to teach you properly
low-key, you took longer than necessary to learn
the lessons were so much fun, and the time together made both of you genuinely happy
riff definitely wasn’t complaining about being able to put his hands on you ;)
one of his favourite things to do is watch you get ready
not in a creepy way, though he can’t argue that watching you change your shirt is sometimes the highlight of his day (he can’t help it)
but your meticulous routine is something just so calming to him, it’s a nice change of pace
he swears that he falls deeper in love every time your eyes meet in the mirror, and you give him that sheepish smile
another thing riff loves is playing with your hair
when you’re exhausted, he’ll gently drag you down to lie in his lap, fingers already threading through your locks
you’re asleep in seconds
you and riff don’t go on too many dates, maybe one every fortnight
but that’s okay, because riff comes around your place almost everyday
and if he can’t, he’ll ensure that he at least drops by during one of your breaks at work
even those fifteen minutes of talking are precious to both of you
the two of you love meddling with tony’s love life and pissing him off
you’re always organising double dates to go on
which, to be fair, does not end well for tony, so it’s a little counter-productive
the girl usually gets pissed that he doesn’t pay her the same attention that riff does you
which leaves tony a little baffled
how is he supposed to replicate your relationship with riff? how is anyone?
secretly, tony’s rooting for you guys to get married. so much so that he’s already started his best man’s speech.
he can’t wait for the day he gets to say the words out loud.
