How to write lovers

This is just a small list to give you inspiration! Some of these things might feel weird depending on who your ocs are and what you personally like.

• small touches

• subtle smiles

• walk hand in hand

• they look for each other if they get separated

• hand on waist or intertwined in any way

• small kisses

• holding hands

• full blown making out (WARNING: this makes a lot of people uncomfortable)

• subtle flirting

• laughing together

• one of the two might want to buy something as a surprise for the other

• whispering about someone next to them together

• going to each other's performances (e.g.: if A is in a relationship with a musician/dancer/actor/comedian, they'll attend their show)

• ordering pizza over the phone for their shy partner

• one of the two takes ice-cream or other snacks for themself and their lover

• hand in belt loop

• making each other's clothes

• going to the movies

• being protective of each other

• taking pictures of each other

• doing each other's make up

• baking together

• hands in jacket pockets

• giving each other rides

• becoming friends with the other's friends/family

• writing love letters

• leaning on one another when sitting somewhere

• bringing food/drinks at a party

• stealing each other's clothes (bonus if they're gay, non-binary, trans, but works generally with lgbt ocs)

• holding their partner when they're falling as the subway starts

• one of the two carries bags for the other if they’re in pain or they’re busy

• picking the other off their feet

• drawing with their fingers on each other's back as they cuddle

• drawing each other

• looks exchanged a lot

• taking the other's jacket

• buying their sick partner meds

• communication through small gestures, body language, smiles, looks, etc if non-verbal

• being awkward around family

• pushing each other on swings

• pokemon hunting or playing other videogames together

• jokes murmured in one of the character’s ear by their lover

or it might look nothing like this! it’s okay if your character doesn’t behave like this. Make sure you know what kind of person they are.

For example, my ocs Achea (they/them) and Jun (she/her) are in a relationship. Achea is ace and doesn’t like touch much, so their relationship in public is much more focused on being there for the other and exchanging looks rather than being physically close or touching.
