Work Text:
☆ Ripley usually wraps her tail around Call's waist or legs while sleeping, it's a comforting thing for both of them. Ripley protects Call and Call is absorbed in the extra cuddles from the tail.
☆ Ripley never really ate anything on the Auriga, she didn't necessarily need to from her xenomorph genes. But whenever Call cooks any of the recipes she has downloaded, Ripley will eat any of those meals Call makes immediately. She's not picky when it comes to Call's cooking.
☆ Continued from the second headcanon, Ripley's memories of cooking aren't the strongest, so Call teaches her how. She's good with some recipes and loves learning from Call, but other times the dish fails completely. Both help each other clean up the kitchen and they start again another day.
☆ Call still experiences some insecurities about being a synthetic. Ripley helps her through any of them, whether it's getting more fluid, recharging, maintenance, etc. Ripley will always take care of Call and give her whatever she needs.
☆ Looking back, Call almost can't believe that she went from trying to kill Ripley, to dating her. Ripley sometimes playfully teases her for thinking about that, and she and Call laugh about it.
☆ Both of them looove taking baths or showers together. Be it in a more sexual way, aftercare or just getting clean, they enjoy being close to each other in relaxing warm water. After the underwater situation they experienced on the Auriga, they found new comfort in feeling water that wasn't full of aliens.
☆ Ripley will rub her head against the sides of Call's face and make a noise similar to a purr on occasion, nuzzling and nudging Call as a way to show affection, at least for the more alien side of her genes. Call doesn't mind, she likes it and lets Ripley nuzzle against her face, listening to Ripley's soft purring.
☆ Call rarely uses pet names for Ripley, but when she does it's "queen" or "my queen".
As for Ripley she doesn't really use pet names for Call except for "my lucky star", she prefers calling her Anna, shortened name, but she'll still sweetly say Annalee to her whenever.
☆ Ripley once found suits for her and Call to wear for a date in Paris, Ripley loves seeing Call wear a tie and Call admires Ripley wearing a waistcoat.
☆ They give each other massages often. For Ripley, Call gives her back massages with skilled hands knowing where Ripley likes it, and for Call, Ripley gives her scalp massages, gently scratching with her claws.
☆ Call absolutely loves running her fingers through Ripley's bush. It sometimes won't even be in a sexual way, she just likes the sensation of it on her skin.
☆ Call will gently bite Ripley's biceps. No explanation, no warning, she'll just chomp down whenever Ripley's arms are exposed. Ripley is used to it.
☆ Ripley goes crazy over Call's knee high black and blue striped socks. She'll stare at them whenever she can see them, touch them, trace the individual stripes, and Call will purposefully wear them as much as possible, she'll even keep them on during more intimate times.
☆ Ripley will still have nightmares of her past memories, but it's been happening less because of sleeping next to Call. She dreams about Call more often, and a huge majority of them are good and sweet.
☆ Call likes to trace and kiss Ripley's number eight tattoo and tail. Ripley practically melts from the feeling, the end of her tail starts wagging, she feels relaxed from the praise Call gives to the parts that physically show she's not fully human.
☆ While in Paris Ripley discovered a destroyed synthetic factory and found some artificial skin to patch up Call's gunshot wound. The skin patch looks like a birth mark from how the skin was slightly tanned, but she admires it and gives Call's new mark as many kisses as she wants.
☆ Along with the patched injury, Ripley adores the beauty mark on Call's neck. Call told her it's the only real one she has, to make her seem more human. Ripley will kiss and lick and suck on that mark, a way of making Call feel good and feel more human.
☆ Call's love language is physical touch. Before she met Ripley, she felt oddly touch starved, but now with Ripley she can get all the hugs, cuddles, and everything intimate involving touch from Ripley's affection.
Ripley has a combination of gift giving and physical touch for her love languages. Of course she'll hold Call close to her, feeling her figure and touching every inch, but she'll still bring Call 'souvenirs' as she once did on the Auriga.
☆ Once they gathered up enough blankets for their house, Ripley started to make a sort of "nest" for herself and Call. Some blankets placed on the floor around the bed, and on the bed itself, plenty of pillows and warm blankets piled in perfectly arranged places, at least to Ripley. Call doesn't mind, but occasionally they'll have small arguments about which blanket goes where and how many blankets and pillows are too many.
