It was safe to say that you knew your boyfriend well. Very well.

You knew he loved to sleep in, waking naturally only to the sunlight. You would watch him fondly as he slept so deeply in your shared bed, not caring that he was sleeping the morning away and through the morning duties that were needed. Ajak would get on his case and ask you to get him out of bed since he would miss important meetings.

You always knew he loved to snack. At any time and in any way, he would be eating or having some kind of food in his hands. There wasn't one snack that he detested, although he was never a fan of anything that was majorly sticky. Still, he was always eating something to either keep his mind occupied or when he was bored. Phastos would tease him about how he would eat all of the snacks that you would share yet you didn't mind. Druig would always share with you, it was no question in his mind.

Lastly, one of the major things that you loved about him, was that he was always surrounding you with love and affection. The others rarely saw the softer side of him, which was sorely just for you to have and possess. His aloofness and cockiness that was seen constantly in the public eye were the opposite when it was just the two of you. Druig was gentle in his gestures with you, holding you like you were made of porcelain or caressing your skin as light as a feather.

Even the kisses he would give you felt beyond soft and sure, always leaving you breathless. You were always amazed and in awe at how he fell in love with you, not batting away from it in front of the other Eternals, but was sincere enough to see that you were no huge fan of PDA yourself. He accommodated for you without hesitance, holding your hand or having an arm around your waist. Druid saved more of the intimacy in bed.

Because you knew him so well, you always knew the small things that would harm Druig.

One of them was his migraines.

His mind-controlling ability was constantly harboring tension and stress on his brain. He had a hard time trying to unwind after he would use his cosmic energy and his abilities to help aid humans from a Deviant attack or redirect humans from disaster. In the very beginning, before you got together, Druig would barely get a headache. It was tolerable, something that would wear off after a few minutes. But as centuries came and went, the headaches were getting harsher and more frequent. After you got together with him, you tried to find ways to help him and keep the intense headaches at bay. Head massages and breathing techniques worked most of the time, especially when you could see how heated he got when he was defenseless in wanting to help and interfere.

That was another component that brought the head pains: his anger at not being able to help.

You two would talk constantly, about how it was not fair that you wouldn't help humans and prevent them from being hurt or killed. Ajak always breathed down Druig's back in stopping him from stepping into a situation, which aggravated him even more. You understood though, you felt that yearning to be the protective Eternal amongst the fragile humans. That stress and underrated anger manifested his headaches into serve migraines. He had a few close calls in the past after a brutal Deviant attack or using his ability too much.

One particular case was just as bad as the others.

You were in the Domo with Sprite, the both of you discussing the feast that was planned that night amongst the citizen in the city. It was a celebration that was planned for weeks, one of the biggest parties of the year to celebrate the harvest and the great defeat of a particularly nasty Deviant. You too were far too engrossed in what story Sprite will tell the humans that you didn't seem to hear the commotion outside the Domo, right near the entrance.
