The Bowers Gang: How the Guys Would React to Their S/O Saying "I Love You" for the First Time

Belch:

  • Didn’t really hear his partner the first time, because he was noshing on a giant bite of cafeteria burger (*cue one full-mouthed Huggins “…mm?” by way of response #1)…
  • … but processes their words immediately afterwards, and low-key wants to cry because that shit is just too emotional for him 
  • Looks over at his partner in obvious surprise (eyes wide, mouth slightly parted - the whole shebang)
  • Then lets his being fill with/radiate pure joy as his face lights up, and he returns his s/o’s declaration with a (somewhat shaky), “I love you too, baby.”
  • …Don’t look now, but I guarantee you the dude’s eyes were watering a little; he’s just that thrown by someone loving him
  • Aka: Huggins is a man so used to abuse that genuine affection makes him cry, and we’re all gonna circle up and give him one big bear hug over that heartbreaking fact
  • Anyways, though - eventually goes in for one of those “envelope your shoulders in both of my strong arms” man hugs, and makes out with his partner like there’s no tomorrow
  • Anybody order a true love’s kiss?
  • Well, sucks, because there one was.
  • Squeezes his s/o tight and smothers them with butterfly kisses for a heart-warming finish 
  • “Beautiful Moment” rating: 9.5/10

Henry: 

  • Visibly tenses as soon as the words leave his partner’s mouth
  • Tries to play it off like it didn’t affect him, but spends a few seconds very obviously recovering from the initial surprise 
  • Once he gets himself together (i.e. returns to standard Bowers form), just deadens his expression and comes out with an excruciatingly cold: “Okay.”
  • That’s it. 
  • No eye contact, no humanity, nothing. 
  • Not because he doesn’t care (dude would actually be relieved his partner had confirmed their feelings for him, if nothing else), just because he isn’t emotionally fluent enough to process too much mushy shit at once 
  • And “love” is a lot of mushy shit as far as Bowers is concerned - romantic, or otherwise 
  • Regardless though, will probably take a few weeks before he starts saying “I love you” back to his s/o
  • Mainly because 1.) Bowers isn’t about that vulnerable life, and 2.) hearing his partner say it to him over and over again without reciprocation strengthens his confidence in their feelings for him, and the guy needs that sense of control to feel comfortable 
  • … and/or toxic relationship practices, party of one.
  • May use the fact that he knows his partner loves him against them in the few instances where they fight, and he hasn’t said it back yet 
  • I.e. Really drives home how little he cares for them, how they’ve never really mattered to him, how interchangeable they are with other people, etc.
  • Basically just uses their love for him as a weapon against them when he feels it’s necessary, and likes knowing they don’t have the power to do the same in return
  • Yes - Henry Bowers sees saying “I love you” as giving you a way to hurt him. That’s basically it.
  • Nothin’ to say, folks - all we can do is blame the Father on that one
  • “Beautiful Moment” rating: 2/10

Patrick:

  • Oh, geez…
  • … alright. Fuck it. Here we go.
  • Possible Outcome #1: Hockstetter pauses the second he processes what his s/o said…
  • …. turns to them slowly (dramatic tendencies blazing)…
  • … maintains eye contact with them for a few seconds…
  • … then breaks into one of the most searing, shit-eating grins known to man, and starts laughing uncontrollably 
  • Did he seriously create a fake meaningful atmosphere just to watch his partner’s face fall as he tore that shit apart?
  • Yes, indeed, he did.
  • Possible Outcome #2 (may also happen in addition to Possible Outcome #1): You guessed, it folks.
  • … It’s shitty one-liner time.
  • Partner: *Says those 3 magic words* Patrick: “… Well, can I buy ya’ a drink first, or do you prefer cash?” *Incredibly hurtful Hockstetter laugh*
  • … I’m sorry.
  • The dude literally has a track record of saying “I get that a lot,” “you better,” and (in one particularly predatory instance concerning a more inexperienced partner) “that’s so fuckin’ adorable” 
  • I’m just tellin’ the truth - bro hasn’t had the best responses to serious emotional declarations in the past, and it seems they’re only getting worse (and/or more creative)
  • All in all, not the worst reactor in the group (*cough* Henry *cough*) but a good ten miles off from being the best one
  • “Beautiful Moment” rating: 3/10

Victor:

  • Is genuinely happy to hear his s/o say those three words (probably more so than anyone else in the group)…
  • … but decides to be a mischievous asshole the first time around, because Criss is all about “harmless pranks” 
  • So the first time his s/o says it, just keeps his face serious, his jaw tight, and says, “I know.”
  • Channels Henry, does the tough guy, “I have no feelings” eye contact and everything - for five good seconds, Victor Criss has no soul 
  • … But immediately starts smiling after making eye contact with his s/o a few seconds too long, and drops the tough guy act like a hot potato 
  • Breaks out into laughter, grabs his s/o into a hug, and “I love you’s” the shit out of them as they try to push away from him (because cute, semi-angry girl reactions) 
  • Eventually feels his partner stop resisting, and moves his head back for a kiss 
  • Finally, looks into his s/o’s eyes and says “Seriously… I love you,” one more solid time 
  • No laughter, no jokes, no smiles - just Victor Criss’s dead-serious eyes declaring their dead-serious feelings 
  • The perfect mix of playfulness and seriousness, you say?
  • Uh.. yeah. I’ve known that since day one, thanks.
  • “Beautiful Moment” rating: 9/10

Hello, friends. Coming at you with a post unrelated to The Bowers Gang today - this is a cause that's very close to my heart, as I know the lady in question personally, and feel she deserves a piece of every good thing. Any action on your part (whether it be donations, or just a share) would be greatly appreciated. I don't even like the elderly, but this specific woman is the kindest soul I've yet encountered. Thank you for your support.

After battling a vicious cricket in my own room I realized that the only thing Patrick would be good for as a SO is getting rid of unwanted vermin. First time I ever wished for a Patrick Hockstetter in my life.

Instant backfire (sorry, friend): Hockstetter is absolutely going to put that unwanted vermin on your body, or die trying. Then (on the off chance he doesn’t choose to kill it or take it home), he’ll probably just leave it in your room again like the chaotic dick he is - have fun exterminating that shit on your own

Do the guys have any really bad habits? Like, dangerous bad? Hope you're doing okay!

Belch: Rubbernecking while he’s driving. Huggins may be the group chauffer, but he gets distracted like nobody’s business; if he sees a low-flying airplane, a pretty girl on the street, or anything else even slightly outside of the Derry norm, he’s turning his head all the way around to see it… straight-up forgetting about the road as he does so. Cue much swerving, much verbal abuse from Henry, and the occasional back-of-the-head smack from Hockstetter.

Henry: Binge-drinking/chain-smoking. Henry started smoking at nine years old, and had his first drink at 11. Long story short - he may look like a prime example of youth, but he has the lungs and liver of a 47-year-old (and one that lived hard, at that). The guys have watched him smoke through colds and drink through hangovers more than a couple of times, and (despite the occasional intervention attempt from Victor) he shows absolutely no signs of stopping.

Patrick: Never wearing a seatbelt. If anything gets Patrick Hockstetter, it’s absolutely going to be his lack of regard for basic safety; on a regular basis, he does things that would give Eddie Kaspbrack a full-on panic attack (i.e. lighting piles of leaves on fire and leaving them, consistently walking around town after 2.a.m., chasing after wild animals, etc.), but his refusal to see the relevance of wearing a seatbelt is probably one of his worst moves. Belch may be a good driver normally, but the guys get wasted together almost every other day - and a person can only do so well with a blood alcohol content of .19. Will the long, lanky boy go through the windshield one day? I think yes.

Victor: Letting his feelings get the best of him. Criss may put up a cool, unbothered front (he often strikes people as coldly logical upon first meeting them) but he’s a man largely ruled by emotion; Victor has done some crazy things when he’s upset, some of which have even exceeded the intensity of Henry’s anger. Although he doesn’t take his feelings out on other people, Victor tends to implode, exposing himself to great harm as he does so (i.e. speeding around backroads high, wandering around abandoned properties, starting to leave town, then turning back, etc). All in all, Criss just doesn’t have good coping mechanisms - he holds himself together 95% of the time, but doesn’t know how to deal with the 5% of the time he loses it.
