[He probably should have expected that question, but it still gives Peter pause. He doesn't want to steer Hunter wrong here.]
Oh, yeah. I'll- give you some advice? Feel free to use whatever works best for you and Casey. You guys are going to have a completely different relationship than Leo & I.
Being a good boyfriend means loving who you're with and just... seeing them for who they are. Just make sure he knows you're here for him and you see him. Good and bad. Small stuff and big stuff. Since there are going to be ups and downs when you kind of least expect it. You guys are going to need to lean into each other and help each other in a way someone else can't.
You just need to be there for him. Ready to catch him when he falls, metaphorically and literally, depending on what's going on. He'll return the favor too.
Yeah, it's definitely a 'you're friends first and foremost' thing, then romantic feelings happen. You guys are and were really good friends to start, and it grew from there. It'll keep growing as you guys settle into being a couple.
Just be there for each other, check in, and see how you're both doing when things get tough. Now you just do a lot more kissing and stuff.
Also maybe like surprise him occasionally with gifts or dates. That's always really fun.
Flowers, candies for sure. Like impromptu dates to go eat, or challenging him to a race on the rooftops. Making him breakfast, or putting a snack in his jacket pocket when I know he's going to leave the house in the morning. We went on a trip to Wintermute and stayed in one of those empty cabins for a few days. It was really nice.
You kind of need to see what Casey would like and go from there.
Flowers and candies never hurt though. They're kind of a classic for earth romance, but, it's hard to be mad at either of them.
