Okay, so the first time I did it, tumblr ate it! So I had to completely redo it…
Gives nose/forehead kisses:
Lucius. Actually, Narcissa started it but then Lucius liked it so much he picked it up and it became his habit. The general pattern is nose kisses when he’s leaving the house, forehead kisses when he’s leaving the room.
Gets jealous the most:
Narcissa. She’s been that way since she was a child but it’s one of the things that drives her ambition.
Takes care of on sick days:
They both do in different ways. Lucius is more doting (so much so that Cissa ends up kicking him out of the room most of the time because she needs her space.) She checks on Lucius when he’s sick but is usually of the ‘oh, you’ll be fine’ attitude.
Drags the other person out into the water on beach day:
Hahah - this is kinda funny to picture the way I’d originally meant it. But on vacation without any other worries? Narcissa.
Brings the other lunch at work:
Narcissa. A lot of times it’s her excuse to see him in the middle of the day whether they meet somewhere or she brings him a tray wherever he is in the manor. (If she doesn’t have her own plans, that is.)
Tries to start role-playing in bed:
Lucius. …if you’ve been her long enough, you know why. hahaha
Embarrassingly drunk dancer:
Also Lucius
Firmly believes in couples costumes:
Okay, so they don’t celebrate Halloween really BUT - Lucius. Anytime they go to an event/ball/party/etc. they wear matching or coordinated outfits. Lucius brought it up the first time they went to a function as a couple and though it sort of surprised Narcissa at the time, it was always a given ever since. In fact, most days they’re outfits are at least coordinated.
Lucius loves it because it’s his way of telling everyone he’s the lucky bastard that landed Narcissa.
Breaks the expensive gift rule during Christmas:
They don’t even have this rule, but Lucius. Those few Christmases where it was difficult to celebrate anything, he still surprised Narcissa with amazing gifts.
Makes the other eat breakfast:
Narcissa. She makes sure Lucius eats even if it’s just a croissant on the way out.
Remembers anniversaries:
Both
Brings up having kids first:
It was never really discussed. Because they’re marriage was all but arranged, it was discussed for them and made very clear what the expectations were.
Kills the bugs:
Narcissa
Lucius ignores them and suddenly remembers something that takes him away from the bug’s vicinity.
First to define them as a couple:
Again, this didn’t really come up because of the way their formal courtship went but Lucius.
Who hides their guilty pleasures longer:
haha, Lucius.
Snorts while laughing:
Narcissa and it’s one of Lucius’ favorite sounds in the world. He’s happy the rest of the day whenever he manages to make Narcissa laugh that hard.
Thank you for sending this in! It’s been a while and I very much enjoyed it :-)

“I’ve known her since I was seven. I had a crush on her even back then. But she lived back in the Dominican Republic, so I’d only get to see her during the summer. We just got tired of being apart. So I asked her to marry me. My parents were against it. I was twenty-one. I was going to City College. I was still living at home and they thought I wasn’t ready. And there was definitely some truth to that. I had to drop out of school once she moved in with us. I couldn’t handle everything. At first I was depressed but I started to progress quickly at work. I got raise after raise. We moved out of my parents’ house and got a small apartment in the Bronx. Now I’m studying to get my electrical license. I’ve seen a lot of the guys I work with start their own companies. You’ve just got to want it. You’ve got to want to move up, and you can find a way. The marriage has been great and it’s been tough. We have a two-year-old daughter now. It’s a lot of work. But it’s also awesome to go home everyday and find two people who love me.”
oh my fuckning
Mars, Saturn, and Pluto in the first house.
Oof.
ᡣ𐭩 individuals with an aquarius stellium/aquarius rising/aquarius moon have this modest yet unavailable demeanor. they may not have to even pry for attention, they are simply stardom as they enter a room. however, there is a distinct essence to their presence; like they are aware of attention that is placed on them, but they simply don’t care for it. their detached nature is why people feel attune to them or a sense of belonging when around them. people are interested in the minds of these people, the abstract they promote. but they are usually privy and remote, cautious of flighty atmospheres, or people. these people are indescribably classic, alluring, and humble
ᡣ𐭩 having multiple planets in the first house grants the native a rather larger-than-life approach. depending on the actual planets, these people attract attention, simply because others are infatuated with whatever trait. they can be blunt, honest, and likely to announce things they see as unjust. naturally, a strong personality.
ᡣ𐭩 when there is a stellium in the second house occupied by an earth sign, the native carries the gift of persuasive business demeanor. They have a flexible and composed response, however they do have boundaries; and let others know so. Also, They are naturally inclined to materiel possession’s, and may show their love through gift giving.
ᡣ𐭩 those with air moons may grow to be more logical and pragmatic. they may strive in disordered environments, and may actually prefer a restless work space, as it may be their stimulation to get work done.
ᡣ𐭩 an empty 2nd house can signify modest views related to matriel possessions. These individuals may not find themselves constantly shopping or squandering money. they may adore small, tiny gifts that are handmade
ᡣ𐭩 planets in retrograde can convey an area is someone’s life where they feel an absence for sometime, or they are hindered from seeing their potential in the area. However, no matter the process, the presence of the trait is usually retrieved (For example: an mercury retrograde can signify one who grew to be timid to the act of speaking, however as they matured and developed they realized the strength in their vocalization)
ᡣ𐭩 leo risings have this voluminous and gracious hair that just strategically flows as the wind blows in their direction. Their personality may be similar to one of the Lion: confident, authoritative, and assertive.

“Summertime and Christmas. That’s when I have her. Been that way for seven years. When she’s not in school, she’s with me. Then at the end of the summer I bring her back to her Mom’s house in Florida. Those drop-offs are the worst; I almost miss my flight every time. I wait until the last possible second to call my uber for the airport. I hug her, say goodbye, put my stuff in the car. Then I always gotta come back again and get my last kiss. Always, always. That uber ride sucks. That plane ride sucks. Cause I know I’m not going to see her for a few months. On the wall in my closet we keep track of her height. And every time she comes back, she’s grown like two inches. That’s a lot. That’s a lot I don’t see. But she knows she can call me for whatever, which she does. And whenever she’s here she gets to be the CEO of our lives. She’s not a dictator or anything. But she’s the president. I’m the people. When she says we go, we go. She wants to go to the pool, we go to the pool. She wants to go to the beach, we go to the beach. We came here today for the Juneteenth celebration. Been planning it for two weeks. I’m supposed to be at work today, but I took off early. There’s a bouncy house and face painting and all kinds of good stuff. But she didn’t want to do any of it. We stayed for two minutes. And now we’re back to feeding the animals; same thing we do every day.”
