Romantic things that make me wanna fall in love (that you should definitely use in your book)
♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎
•wrapping their hands around their partner’s waist
•kissing the back of their neck after putting their necklace on
•leaving lipstick stains on their collar/face/body
•holding their partner’s face as they press their foreheads together
•pushing them against a wall just to make them nervous
•feeling nervous as their partner sits on their lap
•wrapping an arm around their partner and proudly claiming them as their s/o
•laying together in a messy bed silently and enjoying each other’s presence
•the relief of not having to explain your feelings because your partner knows you better than they know their order at their favorite restaurant (…lmao)

Showing Romantic Feelings Without Kissing
Let’s be real, the biggest way to show romantic attention between characters is through kissing. However, your characters shouldn’t have to kiss in order for it to be obvious that they’re in love. Here are some other ways to show that connection!
Hand holding
Sitting close to one another
Quick hugs
Secret glances
Light touches (arms, legs, etc.)
Napping together
Making sure the other eats/drinks
Inside jokes
Fixing the other’s clothing
Laughing way too hard at the other’s jokes
Going on walks together
Looking at something and wanting to show the other immediately
Late night walks/talks
Going to one another for advice
Leaning on each other’s shoulders
Driving each other home after a long day
Sharing drinks/food
Sharing clothing
Helping each other with work/other tasks
Incoherent bickering over nothing
Feeling possessive of one another (to a certain extent)
Telling each other’s friends about one another

Let's go and sit somewhere in quiet away from the hustle and bustle of the city, talking about our day and listen to the secrets the moment want to tell us.

When sleeping at last said what an honor it is to love and it is, it is, it is. I get to sit here and gaze at you rambling and love you with every bone in my body. I get to hold you when you cry and wipe your tears away; I get to follow your shadow on the sidewalk and love that, too, as I love everything shaped in your name. What an honor and I choke up when you smile and my heart flutters at your laugh and I love you which means I’d die for you but I want to make breakfast for you again. I’d take the bullet but I want to hand you flowers. I sit here in awe of a life with you in it. To think you would allow me to speak your name….To love you is to wear a crown of grace in every moment, to sing a song you put in my mouth, to receive the greatest allowance I will ever hold.

Ik this isn't like- blurbs but uuh
Could you maybe possibly message your favoritest laurance simp [@shaddow-reblogz ] some good food?? If not, that is perfectly ok! Just want food
Darling @shaddow-reblogz, food for Laurance simps is something I am always happy to provide. How about we do a little self shipping silliness? That is to say this is me taking a daydream and putting it to paper for you sillies to enjoy. Happy Valentine's Day (no I didn't post this late shut up)
Reader insert doesn't have a directly spoken name and uses they/them pronouns.
Waking up on Laurance's chest has to be one of the best feelings someone can wake up to. Maybe it's because Laurance actually getting a nights sleep is a rarity, but honestly, it's seeing his peaceful expression that eases my worries the most. Such a peaceful smile on his face is one of the greatest reliefs I've experienced recently. I can hear his gentle heartbeat in his chest, and in spite of the cold nature of his skin, his hands wrapped around me provide an irreplaceable feeling of warmth.
It's as if he can hear that I'm awake, hear that I'm staring at him, because moments later his body stirs. His chest rises higher with his renewed breathing, and his heart rate picks up ever so slightly. His peaceful expression breaks into one of mild discomfort as his eyes slowly open. Even if they aren't the emerald green I fell in love with, the pale blue suits him. And I can see the way his relaxed expression breaks out into a soft smile, highlighting his dimples. It's almost unfair how cute he is. Almost.
"Good morning, my love," Laurance whispered softly.
"Morning," I whisper back, snuggling into his chest. I can feel him breathe in the moment, his hands pulling me in closer as he presses a kiss to the crown of my head.
"I don't recall falling asleep with you in my bed, but I'll never complain about such a thing." I couldn't help but laugh.
"That's because you got completely wasted last night and I had to drag your stumbling drunk ass back to the guard station." Laurance's chest moved with the gentle sound of his laughter. A quiet sound only meant for me to hear in this moment.
"My apologies for letting you see me in such a sorry state."
"Don't apologize. I found it quite amusing."
"Oh really?" A cheeky grin spread across my face as I pulled myself over so I was lying on top of him instead of on his side.
"It was cute to hear you go on and on about how enchantingly beautiful I am. Just with less grace than you usually have."
"Good to know I'm still a romantic when I'm drunk."
"You were quite the romantic. I wouldn't be surprised if you managed to flirt with every person in Phoenix Drop before the night was over." An embarrassed blush started to grow on his face.
"I-I didn't."
"You sure did." He slapped a hand against his forehead.
"Everyone?"
"Any pretty person who walked in front of you was subjected to your endless musings. It only got worse the more you and Dale drank." Laurance laughed again, still covering his face.
"Oh my Irene... Remind me to never get drunk again."
"Well that's no fun. Surely you can't swear it off entirely."
"If it means I don't make a fool of myself." I sat up and pried his hand away from his face, now close enough to kiss him as my head hovered above his.
"Laurance, darling, you're going to do that anyway."
"Thank you." Despite his tone dripping with sarcasm I still giggled and threw back a;
"You're welcome." Before leaning down and pressing a kiss to his lips. One kiss became another, and then another, and then he was bringing his arms around me and pulling me back into bed. And I almost let him. Laurance was addictive, just so much fun to kiss, especially when he wanted to get me to shut up.
I managed to push back and still sit above him, but that dazed look in his eyes made me want to go back for more. It is seriously unfair how attractive he is.
"I will say, it's the most relaxed I've seen you in a while. So don't throw it away yet, okay?" I begged gently, though with Laurance I knew it was never necessary. He was a complete softie, and always listened when I spoke to him in a voice this soft. I could see it in those lovestruck eyes before I was even done saying it. I could practically say the next words with him.
"Of course, my love," He replied.

Our love and dreams transcend time and space.
There's something called the quantum universe hypothesis, that says that for each decision and event that takes place, a new universe is created for the infinite number of other possibilities.
Stephen Hawking's final theory was that our universe was just one, created by a singular big bang within an infinite number of big bangs that happened simultaneously, creating infinite universes.
And by those theories, somewhere out there in the cosmos, your daydreams and desires have actually played out. In a different universe, on a different earth, but one that's very much like this one, you've lived that life you're dreaming of.
Theoretically, that longing you have for the lover, friends, children, parents, pets, creatures, successes, adventures, what have you - that longing that you feel comes from an out of reach place that's... not so truly very far away.
Maybe that's why, when you're dreaming or imagining that world or life you want, all these little things, conversations, and details have to feel "right".
Maybe that's why you imagine your lover with blonde hair, even though you prefer brunette. Maybe that's why you suddenly noticed that daughter you're dreaming of has a dimple on her chin. Maybe that's why you could write a novel of what you want to say to your addict brother, but when you imagine that confrontation, all you say is, "Please choose me." Maybe that's why you're telling the world you want a New York pent house, but in your dreams, you find happiness in a cottage in a small mountain town. Maybe that's why you imagine your looming break up at the kitchen table, next to the window, where you watch the dust float through the sun rays... even though it should be pouring and grey.
Maybe it's because the version of you out there that lived what you're dreaming, hoping, dreading... They know those faces, those places, those people. They know that success and that failure. They know that love and that hurt...
and they loved them that way.

Ways I show romantic feelings between characters (before the confession!)
I'm not big on writing romance, but when I do, I love to show the events and feelings leading up to the big emotional release. Here are a few of the ways I hint at those feelings!
Stealing glances when the other isn't looking
Wondering what the other character might think of a certain outfit/mannerism/activity
Talking about the other character to their friends
Feeling uptight/overly stiff in front of the other character (only in certain scenarios!)
Alternatively (and more commonly), feeling overly at-ease while with the other character
Accidental touches, and then thinking about it for hours or days after
Picking up mannerisms from the other character without realizing it
Wanting to spend an unusual amount of time with the other character
Consuming a piece of media and relating certain characters/scenes to the other character Feel free to add on with other ideas!

”linking fingers is different from holding hands. Hand-holding is inclusIve, non-exceptionary; I am yours and you are mine and be brave, for we are together. All shall know — I don’t mind.
linking your finger though another’s, however; it claims nothing. It says: I am all mine and you belong to no one but yourself, and I am brave enough to take commands. Shall I leave? Stay? Tell the world? I hope you know I am here beside you. Here I am. Anyone or everything or absolutely nothing at all — I am here, scared and present, for the world.
this is the breath we take, between together and alone.
{except from a book I’ll write some day}

oo ship idea!! asch x phys is a popular one:)
I'm assuming you meant Rhys, and while I'm not surprised this is a popular ship, it's one I've never written.
First time for everything
Asch's castle was depressingly empty. It was something Rhys tried not to think about too often, busying himself with studies or stocking up the library he was allowed to access. It always infuriated him that the Royal Library was shut off from him, but he never expressed such a thing to anyone. Just spend his days wandering the empty castle, stocking the boring shelves of this library. He never expressed his dissatisfaction with this empty castle. He still considered himself lucky to even be in this castle half the time.
Rhys was smart. He never doubted that. He was able to be humble about that fact, yet there was still that lingering part of him that feared he somehow didn't deserve to be here. That he had somehow faked his way through an entire apprenticeship and relationship with the prince of Daemos. It sounded ridiculous, but it never stopped him from thinking it.
"Are you busy?" Asch suddenly asked. Rhys jumped with surprise, looking up from the page he nearly had his nose buried in. Asch was leaning over the table in the library, his hair falling forward slightly as he looked into Rhys' eyes. One major thing made Rhys doubt his entire career path. His never ending crush on the Prince of Daemos. How could he be his right hand man when he wanted to court him?
"N-Not particularly," Rhys finally stuttered out. "Why do you ask?"
"I..." Asch looked around, before pulling a chair over and sliding into it naturally. Suddenly the same height made the scene more intimate. It didn't help Rhys' ongoing crisis when he heard how low Asch's voice could be when he whispered. "I need something from the Royal Library."
"Why are you asking me? I'm forbidden to go in there."
"But you want to."
"That is besides the point."
"Rhys, I don't know how to navigate a library, you do."
"Not one I've never been in." Asch rolled his eyes, and that managed to make a cheeky smile break out across Rhys' face. He wanted to help Asch with this more than anything. He just had to put up a bit of a fight so the prince wouldn't get suspicious at his eagerness to break castle rules.
"Please, Rhys, I need your help with this." That single word was Rhys' weakness. Anytime Asch said that, Rhys was guaranteed to help, and Asch knew it. "Please." Rhys let out a sigh, still pretending that he had to be talked into this.
"What are we looking for?" Asch's face broke out into a smile as he reached into his shirt and pulled out an old worn down piece of paper. On it was a list of ingredients, only about half of them Rhys recognized. It was in Lady Grandma's handwriting. Asch pointed to the bottom part of the list, three different book titles, all marked as being in the Royal Library.
"Lady Grandma has tasked me to start gathering the items on this list. Some will be easier than others, but I figured you could help me with these." Rhys looked over the rest of the page.
"What is this for?" Asch flinched, tempted to pull the page away. Then again, if he was going through with this, Rhys would find out eventually.
"I'll tell you later. We've got a short window to work on right now." Asch somehow leaned in even closer, and Rhys had to fight every part of his body that told him to kiss Asch. Not important. "Bish and my brother will be gone for another three moons, and Lady Grandma said she's willing to open the library for us, but we still have a very short amount of time before someone gets suspicious of how long we've been gone."
"Sounds like we need to get to work."
"Meet me in the east wing, last door before the Royal Hall, just as the moon rises again."
"You have my word I'll be there, Prince Asch." Asch got this look to him, not quite the cocky grin Rhys was used to. it seemed... softer. Like he knew something Rhys didn't, but kept it to himself.
"I'm sure you will."
And when the moon rose, Rhys was waiting nearby the library, book in hand as he leaned against the wall. He was at least trying to act casual. Trying. When Asch slid up next to him and their shoulders bumped against one another, he could tell he was failing. Just their shoulders bumping together was enough to have him blushing like an idiot and struggling to hold his book up.
"Ten seconds," Asch whispered. A shiver went down Rhys' spine hearing his quiet voice directly in his ear. He didn't trust himself to speak, so he just nodded, and counted. Ten seconds past, and they heard the sound of the Royal Library doors being opened. Asch suddenly grabbed Rhys' hand and took off, causing Rhys to nearly trip over himself, only catching his footing once his book had been abandoned. He'd come for it later.
Not much else mattered when he and Asch were racing hand in hand through the Royal Library, ducking past a shelf before they paused, backs against the case to catch their breaths. Asch shoved the paper into Rhys' hands, and while he initially struggled to read the titles, he had an easier time. All of them books on human souls and magic.
"Know where they are?" Asch asked quietly.
"Yes. They'll be hidden, back corner, left side," Rhys answered, and the moment the words left his mouth, Asch took off again. this time Rhys managed to keep up, though his eyes wandered as they raced through the musty library. Asch stopped suddenly, making Rhys slam into his back. "Prince Asch, why--"
Asch brought an arm around him and dragged him into the nearest alcove, before putting a hand over Rhys' mouth. He kept his gaze elsewhere, listening for whatever might be a threat to them getting found out. All Rhys could focus on was how warm Asch's hand was, how beautiful he looked towering over him, and how close their bodies were. Their chests were nearly touching in the cramped space, and it seemed like Asch didn't notice.
Eventually he let out a sigh of relief and dropped his hand, turning to look down at the daemos below him. Then he realized how close they were to each other, and how dark Rhys' cheeks were. Oh. Asch smiled again, that same soft grin, and this time he let out a muted laugh. Only loud enough for them to hear.
"What are you laughing at?" Rhys asked, his voice coming out more pouty than he intended. Asch let out that laugh again, leaning in close enough that Rhys could feel his breath on his face.
"How much you want to kiss me," Asch replied, bringing a hand to Rhys' chin. "Don't think I haven't seen the way you look at me." Rhys' breathing picked up, his hands digging into the shelf behind him.
"I-i haven't a clue what you're talking about, P-Prince."
"Sure you don't. That's why you're pushing me away and telling me to stop, right?" Rhys went silent, and that was all the invitation Asch needed to close the minuscule distance between their lips. Rhys' previously frozen hands jumped to Asch's cheeks, pulling him in closer, leaning into the kiss like it was his last moment alive. It had been two seconds and he was already addicted to the feeling. He needed it like he needed to breathe.
And to his absolute delight, Asch returned a similar affection, pulling Rhys closer by his hips and holding him in place. Their quest of whatever they were doing was long forgotten in Rhys' mind, just pushing into Asch hoping for another second of this sweet bliss. The sound of shuffling from nearby made them both freeze, eyes wide open and looking around, lips still locked. Another shuffle, and then a skittering away. Asch finally pulled away, but he kept his hands where they were.
"The Guardians are growing restless. We need to get going," He said, surprisingly calm given the scenario. All Rhys could notice was how pretty his cheeks looked when they were blushing that brightly. "Rhys, we need to go!"
"R-right, sorry, let's go!" Rhys said back, this time taking the lead as they approached the final bookcase. He barely managed to get his eyes to focus on the paper, and struggled even more to find the books in question. And for once it wasn't because of his awful sight. It was because he kept wanting to look at Asch's lips, to pull him into another kiss, to have another moment like that. He finally managed to find the three books, one of them a normal size he was used to, one significantly smaller, and the other nearing the weight of a hefty tome. Asch carried it without question.
It meant their escape was less romantic as they weren't running hand in hand anymore, but when they stumbled out of the library still breathing, it was worth it. The doors creaked closed behind them, and in the following silence they could both hear the others heavy breathing. Asch glanced down at Rhys, who looked up at him wide eyed and almost in awe.
"Let's get these to Lady Grandma's potion room," Asch instructed as he adjusted how he was carrying the tome. "And when we're done with that, I can take you back to my chambers."
"Y-Yes, Prince Asch."
