BEOWULF & IRINA
ENEMIES TO LOVERS
“You're asking for trouble, woman." At the gruff tone of his voice, I raised my head and met his [clear, crystalline blue] eyes, rimmed by long lashes that didn't take an ounce away from his masculinity. I wanted to drown in those eyes.
"I like trouble, remember?”
― Suzanne Johnson

OTP PROMPTS
“And infatuated be damned. He was near to being blinded by his attraction to her. He was in love, damn it all. He disliked her, he resented her, he disapproved of almost everything about her, yet he was head over ears in love with her, like a foolish schoolboy. He wondered grimly what he was going to do about it. He was not amused. Or in any way pleased.”
― Mary Balogh
WHICH ONE...
Constantly pushes the other person's buttons? ⟡ For all intents and purposes, it would be a mutual effort for both of them, but probably Irina more so than Beowulf. She loves making him uncomfortable by either teasing or flirting with him. At present, they struggle with being civil around each other.
Says “I love you” first? And who ends their arguments in a fight with “Because I love you”? ⟡ X, however, Irina would be the first to let it slip that she loved Beowulf in a heated argument between the two of them.
Slides their arm around the other person's waist? ⟡ Irina, if not just to tease Beowulf. The latter would be too proud to attempt the same.
Falls asleep in a chair and who has to carry that person to bed? ⟡ Irina would fall asleep in a chair after a long day, while Beowulf would do his best to carry her to bed without waking her up. He's more considerate (of her) than he'd like to admit.
Kisses whom first? ⟡ Beowulf, after he had a very heated argument with Irina. Before he knew it happened, he kissed her first... and things just took a very steamy turn from there.
Offers their jacket when the other one is cold? ⟡ Beowulf. He'd offer Irina his jacket just to keep her from complaining about being cold, but not without grumbling under his breath.
Keeps getting threatened by the other’s overprotective older sibling? ⟡ Neither; they do not have any family left. The closest Irina has to family is her fellow Grisha soldiers with Severine being one; and she'll not be impressed with Irina choice of lover.
Compliments the other in front of everyone? ⟡ Irina, much to Beowulf's chagrin. However, her compliments would be sincere.
Introduces their partner to their family first? ⟡ Irina; she'll be the first to insist that he comes with her to Os Alta and meet Severine.

LOVE LANGUAGE
“Quote.”
— X
PHYSICAL TOUCH
SUB HEADLINE
For those, whose love language is that of the physical touch, they yearn for the intimacy that comes along with having a parnter close by at all times. They find comfort in the physical connection, shared body heat and skin meeting skin, whether that be sexual or something more platonic. Holding hands, rubbing each other's backs, falling asleep with arms and legs intertwined or caressing each other lightly is just as beneficial to the relationship as a sexual act, although they are likely at their happiest when they melt together and become one with their significant other. To this person, a kiss on the forehead means a thousand times more than any declaration of love, and they themselves usually communicate their affection in the same, physical manner. They connect most deeply with their partner, when they are physically entangled, and they find both joy, excitement and beauty in knowing each other's erogenous zones and vulnerabilities without ever having to utter a word.
So leave your expensive gifts and grand gestures at home when it comes to charming this person, because a physical entanglement is all it takes. As long as it is given and received at the right time and place with good, honest intentions behind it.
“Sometimes it feels like even if every inch of my skin was touching yours, I still wouldn’t be close enough to you.”
— Justin Wetch

OTP PROMPTS
“Something seemed to pass between them, his eyes dangerously dark. Did he want her in that way as well?
He could be so tenderly brutal with her. She yearned for what that promised.”
— K.T. Munson
WHICH ONE..
Is the first one to admit they have feelings for the other? ⟣ Neither. Since both of them are incredibly stubborn at times, it would not be a matter of who said it first but who showed it first in the smallest gestures.
Is more protective of the other person? ⟣ It's a tie. They're very protective of the people they care about and would go through fire if it meant that they'd be safe from any harm.
Whispers inappropriate things in the other's ear during inappropriate times? ⟡ Irina would stop at nothing to make the stoic Beowulf flustered by her inappropriate remarks. Beowulf may, occasionally, try to do the same but would regret his decision at once because Irina is usually up for anything.
Makes fun of the other person for having a crush on them? ⟡ Irina, much to Beowulf's chagrin.
Is the most affectionate? ⟣ Both. They are both affectionate but in their own way.
Initiates the touching when the other person is near? ⟡ It would be a mutual effort on both parts, with small gestures at first such as a hand squeeze or a light, reassuring touch on the other's shoulder. Behind closed doors, however, they'll have a hard time keeping their hands to themselves.
Thinks they don't deserve the other person's love and affection? ⟡ One is as much to blame as the other when it comes to this. Probably Irina more so than Beowulf, since she believes she is broken underneath all her bluster.
Giggles uncontrollably when the other playfully picks them up? ⟣ Irina would most definitely let out an unladylike giggle if Beowulf ever came around to pick her up.
Is the big spoon/little spoon? ⟣ With his broad-shouldered frame, Beowulf would be adamant about being the big spoon and Irina the little spoon.

COMPATABILITY
“The pleasure of holding her washed through him in repeated waves. She was petite and fine-boned, the delicious fragrance of roses rising to his nostrils. He'd noticed it when he'd held her earlier... not a cloying perfume, but a light floral essence swept with the sharp freshness of winter air.”
― Lisa Kleypas
T H Ex T A U R E A N S
When two Taureans come together in a love affair, it is a very sensuous and stable relationship - which pleases both of them to no end.
Those are two of the things a Taurus prizes most in a relationship (along with fidelity, sharing good food and other comforts). When two people both of this sign get together, it can be the love connection of a lifetime. They will spoil one another to both their hearts' content: The Taurus can respect their sweetheart's desire for life's little luxuries, because they have that need themselves. Both partners are charming, graceful and dignified. They can be quite stubborn and opinionated, not to mention jealous and possessive. All Tauruses have to learn to agree to disagree, and especially two Tauruses together; they need to recognize that their relationship is too good to jeopardize with minor arguments.
“Her eyes opened and clashed with his. [Beowulf] had the insane urge to lean down and kiss her. Twice in a matter of hours. If he were smart, he'd put some distance between them.
Then again, only a fool would walk away from someone like her.
And [Beowulf] wasn't a fool.”
– Donna Grant
Taureans are blessed with strong willpower and commitment. They love the wooing process of courting, so the beginning, building stages of their relationship may stretch out deliciously. Taureans rarely rush into a relationship, but once they are committed, it is set in stone - maybe even for life. When two Taureans get together, both provide and expect total devotion. Because of this devotion, a Taurus-Taurus pair may be more possessive of each other than most. Nothing upsets these lovers more than infidelity, but - luckily - because both partners are so dedicated to each other and the relationship and because Taureans tend to be very reliable, cheating is a rarity.

“He wanted to taste nothing unless it was the sweetness of her mouth, the musk of her arousal, the salt of her tears, wanted to touch nothing unless it was the silk of her hair, her soft curves, wanted to breathe nothing unless it had come from her lungs.”
— Pamela Clare
"Beneath the diamonds her creamy chest rose and fell, and her red hair streamed over her shoulders like a shawl.
Her mass of unbound hair was a lure and an affront to proper society. Exactly as he wished.
Her lips were parted in wonder, and he felt his own sense of wonder: what those lips would taste like."
— Anne Stuart
