Bridgerton Preference #3

Preferences - Endearing nicknames they give you

Anthony Bridgerton:

Beloved
Anthony's nickname bothered you at first. The two of you loved each other very much, and him giving you the same endearment all the other rich men called their wives, they hardly loved, made you feel like you were just a pretty face for the public. But after you talked it over with him, he explained it simply, very charmingly you might add, that you were his beloved. He didn't care if everyone in the world called their wife that, it was special to him because every time he said it with his whole heart.  After that, you grew fond of the nickname. Anthony being the respectable man he is rarely teases you in public, but when he does it's a breathy love. When this happens you know he means business.

Benedict Bridgerton:

Darling
Benedict didn't even mean for this to become his nickname for you, it just kind of slipped out one day and stuck. Having as many emotions as Benedict does, when he says darling it can mean a million things. The ways he normally says it is, "Darling please I'm busy," "Eager aren't we darling," "I love you so much darling," and, "Please don't cry, darling." But like Benedict, he always says it soft because even angry he'd never yell at you. If Benedict feels like being a tease, which he normally does, he'll call you pumpkin, popping the P and sending you a wink.

Colin Bridgerton:

Sweetheart
Colin is probably the most playful Bridgerton, and he has no shame. If he wants, he'll flirt with you in front of the queen. So, he calls you sweetheart, which society, almost like an unspoken argument, regarded as too flirty. It gives you chills every time he says it, which of course he knows. When Colin is really trying to get under your skin he'll call you sweet-cheeks, again the man has no shame.

Simon Basset:

None
Simon doesn't have a term of endearment for you. When you first started courting he only called you by your name, afraid to get too attached. Over time though, when he realized you were it for him, nicknames would slip from time to time. They're normally the basics, love, sweetheart, angel, etc. He might even purr princess at you just to tease you. Simon still loves to say your name though; he feels like it's more genuine.

Daphne Bridgerton:

Dove
In public, Daphne calls you (y/n), but in private she calls you dove. The reason Daphne calls you dove is because she once overheard a conversation you had with Eloise about the book you'd read. The love interest of the main character called her dove, which you told Eloise, "made your heart explode." You were completely shocked when later that night you and Daphne were alone, and she called you that. It gives you butterflies, and sometimes in public Daphne will whisper it in your ear just to get you flustered.

Eloise Bridgerton:

Angel
Similar to Daphne, because of society's view on your relationship, Eloise only calls you by your name in public. But when it's just the two of you are she calls you angel. You were surprised the first time the name slipped from her lips, so soft, so sweet, so unlike Eloise. Once you commented on that, to which she replied, "I guess you just bring it out of me," before placing a sweet kiss on your cheek." If Eloise wants to tease you she might call you something like sugar in public, because she truly doesn't care what others think.
