I Honestly Adore Him - Tumblr Posts

I also think that if he gets hurt on a case you would be the first one he'd call. The first one he'd wanna see, in the hospital? First thing he asks about

Also what do you think Luke would call his partner?

luke would absolutely want you to be the first thing he'd see after he got injured but i think part of him also wouldn't immediately say. like, he's a military man and in one of the episodes i watched in s13, he was saying how he always preferred to work alone. and i honestly think some of that would still linger and as much as he cared about his partner, i don't know if he'd immediately call them. i feel like he wouldn't want to worry you but also the team knows how much he loves you so like emily/jj/garcia would absolutely call you before he even got the chance.

but you being the first thing he asks about is ABSOLUTElY something i can see him doing. like, he wakes up in a hospital bed after getting injured or he's in the ambulance and the first thing he would ask about is you. he would ask where you were, if you were okay, if you knew about the injury.

it would be 10 times worse if you were on the team with him because he would wake up and not know whether you were injured. or if you went to take down an unsub and it got dangerous, the second you were all out and the unsub is arrested, he would find you first, check on you, ignore his injuries just to make sure you were fine.

i feel like when he falls, he falls hard, yk? like we see that with... uhm i've actually forgotten her name but i've just met her, but his love interest in like s13 or whatever, he falls hard for her and he's really smitten about the date and that would definitely translate into being worried about his partner.

and nicknames? oh god, honestly, i really struggle with nicknames that luke would use. my go-to is carina (it really should have a squiggly line above the n but i keep forgetting to do it) which is a spanish term of endearment. i picked that up when i wrote a moonknight fic ages ago and i feel like it fits luke's character.

like i feel like he calls his important women in his life with terms of endearment, i know in the show he called his mom 'mom' but i think he'd also call her like 'mami' and then his partner 'carina'

but as for other ones, i honestly really struggle with like hearing (if that makes sense) him say anything but i think the terms of endearment i feel like fit him the most (with his personality) would be like 'baby' or he'd call you 'my girl'. i'm not really sure, i feel like i'm still tryna to get a feel for it and that is something i'm struggling with while writing 'built to fall' but they're the ones i think most suit him but it might change
