I’d match you with… Swapfell Rus!

Warning: This one has a little Rus angst in it.

Rus loves having a partner shorter than him: part of it is the infinite arsenal of short jokes that he doesn’t tell his brother, and part of it is that if he’s not good for anything else, he’s at least big enough to protect you. He doesn’t understand why someone as soft and beautiful as you would want to sack up next to a literal bag of bones like him, and he’s always afraid that his elbow is jutting into your side or some other uncomfortable thing. You love puns, you say? They’re never gonna stop if you tell Rus. His puns are usually self-deprecating, so boop him on the nasal ridge until he stops doing that. It works, I promise. Want to know a secret? He snorts too, if you get him laughing too hard. Your punning devolves into a war to see who’ll snort first. One of his favorite home activities is just… laying back and watching you go. He’s got an almost oversensitive sens of smell, touch, and hearing, so smelling you bake, hearing you sing, all of it’s heavenly to him.

He also enjoys playing videogames, so when you feel like a lazy day, he’ll marathon whatever you want with you, or even just watch you play single-player. If you’re a clothing thief, Rus will indulge you, until he finds out why you do it, which will make him search for ways to make you feel more confident without hiding your beautiful body. One thing he does is get a jacket similar to his tailored to your size, so you can still wear his jacket without hiding. Seriously. Rus will shower you in comfy lounge clothing, and it will always fit perfectly. He’s explored enough of your body to just know what works and what doesn’t. And he’ll never stop touching you, sometimes for hours, just to show you how amazing that body is. He’ll put your lotion on in the morning, massage you whenever you need it, and find every way he can to make you feel sexy and satisfy your need for touch.

If you want to go somewhere, Rus is up. He’s thankful that someone is moving him around and getting him off the couch; his depression centers around apathy, and in the past it’s gotten to the point where not even Black ordering him to get up would move him. But with you, getting up just feels easier. Effortless, even, if you want to go somewhere that he knows will make you smile. Ferris wheel? Sure. Singing in the rain? His voice is a bit croaky from the cigarettes, but done. (He won’t smoke in the house, and he’ll quit, cold turkey, when asked. They were more an occasional/social thing for him and he remembers how much he HATED his father’s cigar habit). You hate crying in public? Just tap the inside of his palm bones twice (he asks you to give him a signal), and he’ll teleport you somewhere you can grieve in peace.

He knows you take care of others, but not yourself, and he’d fallen into that trap too, until he saw how much he’d gone to waste. So he does little things, since he’s fighting his own demons—- your glasses will always be freshly cleaned in the morning, you never have to buy pads/tampons, there’s always candy in your purse. It helps remind him to take care of himself as well— he stocks his own pockets with food, does his laundry more consistently, remembers to take his pills. Your very presence is helping him recover, giving him energy to support you on your bad days without breaking down. And he always, ALWAYS thanks you for taking care of him, loving him, holding him. Even when the voices that tell him that he doesn’t deserve you go away, he never fails to be appreciative.

@doseiai-kurage Thank you for submitting a matchup! I hope it was to your satisfaction!
