John Price SFW Alphabet

wrote this to try and flesh out my writing of him.. first time writing for price baby i hope i got this decent

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

Physical affection isn't his forte, but he does show some. Clasping your shoulder, shaking hands in greeting, all little things like that. They might not seem personal to him, but it's enough. He also likes to do things for those close to him, small things, but still clear signs. Making drinks for another, or sharing a cigar (ONLY for those very close to him. He's so protective over them fr), things like that.

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

Constantly making fun of you, you've never been called a "muppet" so many times in your life, but it's affectionate, so it's okay. Drinking together and telling funny stories, you probably make fun of him as well, so it all works out. You're as thick as thieves, but probably share some of his strictness, so it throws people off to see him throwing his head back in a laugh when you tell him a truly horrible dad joke. Threatens rookies if they ask him about it.

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

Oh, absolutely. There's nothing this man loves more than, like, cuddling on a sofa whilst watching a movie. He loves laying with your head on his chest, just totally on top of him - it lets him pet your hair and feel you breathing against him, it's so warm and cozy that he loves it. Also loves laying his head on your chest, but he doesn't make it as obvious. It just feels so protective and nice, but he feels more awkward about that version. So used to doing the protecting, he's never really been the protected.

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

Whilst he doesn't really see himself ever leaving his job, he believes it's where he's best, it's something he's thought about fondly. The idea of leaving, retiring, and being able to live peacefully, it's some idyllic future to him. He could be persuaded too by the right person, though, certainly. He's decent at cooking, though he's mostly used to MREs given the job - I think if he retired it could be something he focused on to keep himself occupied, and he could really enjoy it. Cooking for friends, or a s/o is something he'd really end up enjoying. He's good at keeping his space clean, as well, disliking outright messiness.

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

Whilst he wouldn't be mean about it, he would be upfront and serious. He's not the sort of guy to mince his words, though he won't deliberately be horrible about the whole thing - he does care about you, even if the feelings faded. He's pretty decent with communication, and he'll be open about the whole thing.

F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

Price has always fantasized about some long-term relationship ending in marriage, but he never really let himself dwell on it. He'd want to be in a relationship for a long while before getting married because he wants to take it easy and make sure it's right. With his job, as well, if you're a civilian or working with him, he'd just want to be careful, knowing the risks. Marriage might come with retirement, or at least reduced work, because he sees it as a large commitment, and doesn't want to risk death anymore.

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

Emotionally, he's gruffer than anything, but that doesn't mean he can't be gentle, it might just take some time. If you're seeking comfort from him, he might end up insulting you more than comforting, but it's in that particular way of his that soothes the blow a bit (this man has definitely said 'what're you crying for, you muppet?' whilst getting you tissues). Physically, he's a little more reserved, but he's such a teddy bear once you're in his tiny trusted circle. He's so gentle, later on into a friendship/relationship.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

Oh, for sure, but, again, only for specific people. He's not the sort of guy that will openly be hugging others, at least in the military - if you're out in public together, or retire together, it's a little bit different. To be able to hold you in an embrace is so reassuring to him, to share warmth and hold you means the world to him. His hugs are protective, just on the right side of firm, he'll definitely bear hug you.

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

When he enters a relationship, he already knows he's gone on you - he's not the sort of person who would be able to date for short amounts of time. He knows, before entering one, it's for the long-term. It takes a while for him to say this, though, ultimately, because he's deciding whether or not, perhaps a few months in. It's said in the quiet of the night, you've been cuddling for a while, not really saying anything, just reveling in each other's company. He just kisses your forehead something gentle, then speaks it quietly, like if he says it too loudly he might ruin the atmosphere or such.

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)

Price is a fiercely loyal and protective man, but when he's dating somebody, he trusts them wholeheartedly. He knows you inside and out and knows you wouldn't do anything to hurt him like that. Still, he can't help but feel his stomach clench with jealousy when someone hits on you. He'll wait for your go, though, looking for you to handle it or call on him for help because he doesn't want to belittle you by thinking you can't handle it. If you look for help, he'll swoop in, wrap an arm around you, maybe kiss you, and just ask about how you are, focus in on you. Completely blank out the jack-ass until they're gone, make sure you're okay, before looking all smug about it. His arm probably won't leave you for the rest of your little excursion.

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

His favourite place to kiss you is your forehead, 100%. It doesn't matter what your height is compared to him, something about it is just so comforting, the way you smile, the way you react each time you kiss him there pleases him beyond measure. For himself, he likes you kissing his lips, it's so simple but always makes him smile. His kisses are languid, slow, like it's a reminder that you're both alive, and it's okay. The fact that you can take it slow is something he'll relish in whilst he can.

L = Little ones (How are they around children?)

Not had many experiences around kids, but he's surprisingly very good with them. He's got dad jokes in spades, and he's very good at calming them down when necessary. The type of person to crouch down to get on a kid's level, make sure he's at their height, and he's so, so gentle with them.

M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

His favourite mornings are relaxed ones; making you breakfast in bed, drinking tea, and smoking a cigar. Ones where you don't feel the need to get out of bed for a while, you can just cuddle, talk, or watch TV. The usual mornings, though, are pretty routine - he wakes up pretty early, mostly out of instinct, and has a certain order to things - gets up, has some breakfast, shower, brush his teeth, etc. If he wakes up earlier than you, which he likely does, he might spend a few extra minutes just appreciating you before getting up. He probably wakes up around five, maybe earlier.

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)

Once he gets back from doing some work, he likes to settle down once he's eaten. Get himself in comfortable clothes and then watch some TV. With you in the mix, he'd love to cuddle to wind down at night, because you absolutely help him to relax. Likes to leave work outside of his room, because it's easier for him to separate the two and wind down in the evening.

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

He doesn't particularly try and hide from others, but he's careful about certain things - especially if you're a civilian. He's seen a lot of really messed up things that have permanently changed him as a person, and it might take him some time to fully open up about it, but he's open about it being there. You don't get the details for a while, not the full specifics, but you'll get them eventually.

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

He gets impatient when dealing with people who should know better, but aren't, for whatever reason. Like if he's dealing with what feels like a purposefully inept rookie, he'll get pretty frustrated, but he can handle himself otherwise. Takes a lot to get him properly riled up, like yelling-wise, but it isn't too difficult to get him grumbling under his breath during a mission, for example.

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

Once he's truly sold on you, he'll commit everything you say to memory. Oh, you like a certain bad, or you like a certain style of clothes? Oh, he's going to be buying you them as gifts. Learns your favourite drinks in order to make them without you even having to ask, because he just wants to be there for you when possible. He likes making you things, or buying you things, because he loves how easy it makes you smile.

R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

For him, it has to be the first proper date you both went out on, after he worked up the courage. If you're both in the military, you managed to find times when you were both free, and you just went out on a classic date. To a restaurant, then home, together, where you watched a movie and cuddled for a bit. You ended the evening with a kiss, something slow and sweet before he headed to where he was staying. It was so mundane, but fuck, he loved it - he never gets that level of normality, and even though you'd practically been dating before this, it really solidified things for him. You make him feel normal, in a way that makes him feel so good.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

John is a fiercely loyal and protective man when you make your way into his heart. When you're out, he's always keeping an eye on you, always making sure you're safe, no matter the cost. On missions, if you're in the military, he'll check in with you via the comms every now and again, though hide it under the ruse of giving orders or something such. For himself, he likes being taken care of, but only at certain times. When he's acting as a Captain, he probably won't, but when you're both in private, having him in your arms, entirely surrounded by you, he's most at ease, most calm. When you let him lay his head on your chest after a nightmare, petting his hair and rubbing his back, he feels best. These are private moments, just for the two of you, of course.

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

Oh, once he knows he loves you, he'll be going all out on dates and anniversaries. Not every anniversary, but your yearly ones, certainly. Sentimental gifts and things of the like, things that remind him of you, all given to you on anniversaries and dates. Everyday tasks, he makes sure to get them all done - you likely split the chores pretty evenly depending on what you both do, and he makes sure that all his chores get done efficiently. His favourite dates are ones where he cooks for you, and you just get to talk, at home - he swears, he could hear you talk forever.

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

John's absolutely a workaholic, he can get himself so distracted by accident. Especially if you're in the military together, he'll be holed up in his office for hours and hours at a time unless you get him out of there. He just feels pretty unsatisfied if he's got a whole lot of work to do, and he hasn't finished it all yet.

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

Definitely the sort to refer to his own face as ugly, but he doesn't really have any opinions on his face to be entirely honest. It just doesn't mean much to him. He's meticulous with his facial hair, though, it's very important to his aesthetic. No matter what's going on, he'll try and keep himself properly shaved, rarely letting it get too scruffy unless things are really wrong.

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

Before your relationship, he probably wouldn't think he was missing anything, but now he knows what he's missing, he'd say certainly. You balance him out in the best ways possible, and he can't express how much you mean to him verbally, no matter how much he tries. He'll show it the best he can, though, through the way his eyes soften when they look at you, or the way he hugs you like he wants to forget which limbs are his and which are yours. You complete him, in the best way possible.

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)

He's a dog guy, for sure. John actually kind of likes some of the smaller ones, like the terriers, but he also likes Great Danes. He'd absolutely love to own a dog with you, later on in life, if you agree. He doesn't mind cats, but he'll definitely be like that dad that's like "I don't want a cat" and then cuddle with them for ages when you get them.

Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)

Immaturity, 100%. He hates people not taking things seriously when they should be, or aren't doing their job correctly just for a joke. He can take a joke, certainly, he's made plenty himself, he just knows there's sometimes a time and place for these things.

Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)

It doesn't take Price much to fall asleep, he's used to conking out pretty fast in pretty rough places, so it comes easy to him. Total deep sleeper, once he's out, he's out. Snores, though it isn't totally horrible, it's definitely there. Sleeps on his back, or sometimes on his stomach, and radiates warmth the whole time, he's just a really warm person. He does have nightmares, sometimes, so be warned about them - they make him sweat, warmer than usual, suffer from chills, and he tends to smoke to calm himself down after he's done. Quietly mumbling things, or shifting about slightly. They're a mostly quiet affair, but they don't get any easier.

im sorry you’re so worn out from your job </3 if it makes you feel better im a senior in hs and am also severely depressed and struggling!! so we’re both just having sm fun rn :)

awww, my love!!! :( i am ALSO so sorry you're having a rough time.

seriously: high school is hell school. but ur almost there at least!! <3

and that's the thing i guess, is i totally get it, you know? high school sucks and its super hard and SUPER stressful! getting all your homework done, parental pressures/not having positive adult influences ( which is why i try really hard to be one but!!! haha!! crying <3 ), figuring out what you want to do after hs, and...oh my god??? i can't even imagine how awful it must be to be in school w/ all the new social medias, like i would be crying every other day bc of cyberbullying/how you are perceived online/that level of anxiety.

( all i know is that even without the feeling that people/my peers are talking behind my back, being perceived online made me v unwell )

but for me, at least, i try to be as kind and gentle as possible w/ those students bc i know how horrible being in high school is...which is why its heartbreaking & pretty humiliating for me to b that vulnerable and just get none of that back at all? </3 but then, teaching is a thankless job. it pays dirt and its a lot of work. it is, however, worth it to me, to get regularly disrespected doing my job...bc i care a lot about kids getting the education they deserve in an environment that is safe and respects them...even if they don't respect me...like literally at all. yay :)

but enough of me bellyaching ( i'm not that girl i promise ), there is always a silver lining, my peach. i did...roll up to help the lil people w/ their backpacks and getting on their bus with my eyes all puffy and mascara busted up from crying and i got soooo many hugs <3 a girl gave me a cookie from her lunch...she is absolutely seeing heaven.

and you will too, my dear! you are much stronger than i. being a hser is Also a thankless job that you unfortunately, do not get paid for. and i am v sorry for that. but its my hope that you heal, my dear darling. and know that if you are struggling, you are always welcome in my box, which is the same thing i tell all of my students, i am here to support you. <3 i am not just a fanfic writer, but a warm presence?

i sincerely hope so at least...idk i'm trying my best. thank you for your kind message, i really needed it...i was not doing very well, lol. ;-;

-real crybaby fake teacher uncle nina <3

#this was seriously so kind #thank you thank you thank you #literally hs sucks dude!!! its rough!! i just wish my students would return some of the kind energy im putting out & maybe not roast me #but like...either way...i love them and i care abt them so much like every single one even the kids that are mean to me #bc they deserve to have someone in their corner...even if theyre not in mine id rather make their lives easy even if it makes mine hard </3 #and thats whats depressing tbh is not bc i dont care but bc i care very much and none of that comes back but again! its ok its my passion #i'm sorry ur going through it tho darling high school was very hard for me too there is so much on ur plate #just take it easy -- which is easier said than done but all i can say is that if you need help please ask my love #even if its from me which x2...clearly im not very good at my job but i will always listen and support u all no matter what #if ur going thru it please keep going and know im in ur corner #i am extremely proud of you and i am so happy you were born #as a small request tho uh if u see someone like me wandering around ur hell school getting their shit kicked in #please be nice to them for me bc wooooow when i tell u i cried so much my chest still hurts whEW!!!! thank god im going home to see my cat
