Adrian

In this version, Adrian is a man constantly battling an "inner storm." His temper isn't malice, but a consequence of being forced to constantly wear the mask of the perfect aristocrat. While he holds back with everyone else, he "explodes" around you, because you're the only one he trusts to see his sparks. This is what his behavior looks like during moments of recognition and intimacy: Behavior Pattern: "Fire and Guardianship"

1. Anger as a defensive reaction If any of the servants or nobles disrespect you, Adrian instantly loses his temper. He won't scheme—he'll just shout or throw his goblet against the wall. But the moment you're alone, his anger quickly turns to awkwardness. He might grab you roughly by the shoulder to make sure you're okay, then abruptly let go, muttering, "Don't you dare let them treat you like that. Ever."
2. Confession in a fit of emotion His confession won't be a planned candlelit dinner. It'll likely happen during an argument. “You’re going on about that damned etiquette again! ‘My Lord, you need to go to the ball,’ ‘My Lord, put this on,’” he jumps up, knocking over his chair. “I don’t care about the ball! Can’t you see? I’m going crazy in this room because the only person I care about is standing in front of me and addressing me like a stranger! I love you, you idiot! And if you call me ‘Your Grace’ in this bedroom again, I won’t be responsible for myself!”
3. Body Language: Possessiveness and Affection Impulsiveness: He may suddenly pull you by the collar of your shirt for a kiss, simply because he can no longer contain his emotions. "Quiet Calm": After a burst of anger, he always "cools down" in a very touching way. He can bury his forehead in your shoulder and stand there for several minutes, breathing heavily, letting you stroke his hair. In these moments, he looks less like a duke and more like a tired boy. Jealousy: If he sees you laughing with someone else, he may deliberately load you with work to keep you near him.
