Dating Black Hat Would Include...

SFW:

Hoo boy, he’s is the definition of tsundere

He won’t make any explicit displays of affection public or otherwise..... at first(even then it’s only private)

He’ll warm up to the idea of physical affection at some point or another

When that happens, he’s clingy as fudge, yes, even with others watching(always has to make sure others now you’re his and his alone)

He’ll show his love in vague and easy to miss forms. Like wearing your favorite flower on his suit or wearing a article of clothing you made or bought for him(especially if they’re gloves)

He’s always a grumpy grump, but he’ll manage some time aside to spend time with you

Some times it’s spent in mischievous pranks(you’ll need plenty of markers and water balloons)and other times it’s just you two genuinely bonding(cuddles never killed anyone)

Black Hat is a bit cruel when it comes to pranks, so I hope you like revenge

His gifts are usually pretty expensive and fancy. This guy has a overpriced company, a shmancy fancy mansion, and a clearly expensive sense of fashion. You’ll see that a Lamborghini of your favorite color is the tip of the iceberg.

Him not knowing JACK about relationships. (You’ve found multiple dating tip websites in your search history on your computer)

Also having to help him when he uses any form of modern technology(“No, Black Hat an Apple phone isn’t supposed to be shaped like one”)

Compliment him once, and he won’t shut up about it

Him showing you off when in public and in front of other villains

“Them? Oh, they’re my beautiful and talented S/O.”

Sorry to say this, but Demencia isn’t a fan of you. I mean you did steal the love of his life, but she’s relatively harmless. Black Hat stops anything dangerous and lethal she tries to pull on you, but you have to deal with the pettier, much more mundane pranks on your own

Flug will respect you, since your position as the lover of his boss makes it kind of essential

5.0.5 has another parent now!? He will shower you with affection, and doesn’t care what you do back! You are his parent, and he WILL always love you!

Even though you confuse him on so, so, SO many levels on how you make him feel, he still loves you regardless. And he’ll never stop loving you

Dating Flug would include...

SFW:

Good lord save him, he’s so very shy at first

Just a glance at you makes him a stuttering, blushing mess

He won’t let you hang around the lab much, since a lot of his work tends to be a little bit dangerous. Unless you’re a scientist as mad as he, then he’ll let you help him

Random but sweet compliments from him

“Oh, is that a new haircut? It‘s cute.”

Get used to hearing a lot of puns from this dude. Lots of plane ones and tons of bad pick up lines even after you’re dating

Getting a gift from him is really something to look forward to. He can travel through time causally, so when you happen to find a high tech phone with a dainty bow on top on your birthday, consider that the appetizer

Sometimes you’ll take care of 5.0.5 for him, mostly because you’re the only he trusts won’t damage him in any way

Dragging Flug to bed when he has important deadlines and hasn’t slept in days

He’s not a big fan of PDA, especially considering his boss is basically allergic to it. He tries to keep it as minimal and platonic as possible. Like hand holding, some head pats, and the occasional kiss on your cheek or forehead

He’ll include you in some of Black Hat’s villain orientation videos or promotional ads if his boss allows it. You get to present the products and sometimes point out what the villain did wrong

You’ll rarely ever see Flug without his paperbag, even as his S/O(but a few peeks happen)

Heroes occasionally try to get you on their side since you’re just a human, but you never listen(Flug always shrinks them with the shrink ray and drags you away when this happens, anyways)

Demencia is super jealous of you two. Why can’t Black Hat just love her the way you two love each other?? Still, she ships it hard

Black Hat has taken notice of the relationship, but takes little importance of the matter. He’s in love, so what? As long as you’re not a nuisance or a hero, he cares little about you

5.0.5 has a mother now, and he could not love you more. Lots of hugs and affection from him. And if you’re kind to him back, he’ll love you even more(platonically, obviously)

Flug just loves you to no end. He thinks of you so dearly, and are just a blessing in his life
