* Knowing that he was one of the mutants recruited for the Vietnam War, and helping him when he has flashbacks.
* Finding him in the alleyway near your apartment spray painting on the wall (bc that's what he does) and him thinking that you'll yell at him but you pick up a spray can and fix his work, joining him.
* Knowing that after Vietnam he was looking for a job and helping him get a small job at a restaurant cooking (bc that's what he likes to do, he cooks a lot)
* He also cooks you romantic meals all the time, mainly just to show off how good of a cook he is.
* He'd always stick up for you when you went out together.
* Like he wouldn't accept it if someone cat called you or tried to straight up flirt with you while he was there.
* With his hand in yours.
* Or around your waist.
* He'd be his arrogant, brash and cocky self while almost insulting the other person, getting them to leave you alone.
* Getting used to his childish behaviour.
* Catching him pulling faces at himself in the mirror.
* Watching him stick his tongue out at little kids who stare, making them cry.
* Having to tell him to cut it out or you'd cut it off.
* Which makes him close his mouth and drop the grin from his face.
* But he'd soon smile right after and place kisses all over your face, not wanting you to be mad at him.
* Dancing with him (bc we know from when he was fighting Jean he danced a lot)
* When you lay in bed together he'd rest his head on your stomach, occasionally (when he's bored) blowing raspberries on your stomach just to hear you laugh.
* Clinging to his back when you go out of hikes because he always insists on taking you to the top of a tall tree to see the view.
* But when you get up there he's just staring at you.
* "What, Mortie?"
* "Nothing."
* "But you wanted to look at the view? So, why are you staring at me?"
* "I am looking at the view, I wanted better lighting, it was too dark down there."
* "S-Shut up."
* Blushing constantly bc of his continuous compliments.
* Calling him Mortie as a nickname instead of Toad.
* Even tho it annoys him sometimes.
* But you can still see the smile on his face that he tries to hide.
* Bc of his superhuman reflexes he always catches you when you're about to fall, especially during the winter when it snows and it turns to ice.
* Telling him to sit on the sofa next to you instead of hunched on the arm rest.
* Bc of his superhuman strength he always likes to carry heavy things around to impress you.
* Need the sofa moved?
* He's doing it one handed.
* Need to move the bed to clean underneath it?
* No problem he's holding it up for you.
* Making sure to clean his goggles and fix them whenever he comes back home with them slightly cracked or dirty.
* Bc he's a mechanic he's always fixing things.
* Even when they don't need to be fixed.
* Watching shows together.
* Cooking together.
* He would always try to impress you (as once stated before)
* "So, did you know that I can lift a bus?"
* "Why are you telling me this?"
* "I just wanted to make sure you knew."
* "That you're strong?"
* "Yep."
* "We're already together, you don't need to impress me anymore."
* "Why not?"
* "Because I already like you."
* "I like me too."
* "Mortimer."
* "Fine, I like you too."
* "You're so childish."
* "I'm also able to crawl up walls."
* "Seriously? I thought we just finished the conversation on why you don't need to tell me these things."
* "My tongue can stretch up to 13 feet."
* "Mortimer."
* "Flustered?"
* He'd probably like to play with your hand.
* Playing with your hair.
* Your fingers.
* Places soft kisses on your skin.
* Especially when you're trying to do something important.
* He wouldn't be rude to you, like his personality is with everyone else, only because he's scared of losing you.
