EDWARD MIDFORD x {}

RUSSIAN + WEAPONS: Edward found out aboard the Campania. She'd been staying in a smaller suite that was fairly close to his and his family’s, disturbed from the book she was reading by a sudden bout of screaming from just down the hall. Edith glanced out through the spy hole in the door to be met by the gaping maw of what could only be described as a monster, groaning and beginning to pound against the door. The smell emanating from outside was rancid and she stumbled back from the door in surprise, frowning when the hinges started to rattle. A determined look came over her features and she rushed to the desk her room was fitted with, opening the draw and pulling out her loaded twin handguns and multiple spare magazines. She ripped open the door and shot the creature point-blank in the chest once, twice, but to no avail. When it didn’t so much as flinch, Edith went for the next best option; the head. That seemed to do the trick. She stepped over the body, mindful it didn’t move again, then made her way out into the hallway. Bodies of the nobility littered the blood-stained carpet, but the moans of the monsters and the screams of their victims had disappeared around the corner. Edith twirled her guns once then took off in the opposite direction, every sense strained to make sure she wasn’t caught off-guard. Edward’s suite was clearly still in the thick of things and she took out as many of the undead as she could before they could make their way through the doors. Edith rushed inside as soon as a path was clear at the same time as a butler dressed all in black appeared — Ciel Phantomhive’s, if she remembered correctly. “Edith!” Edward called out, eyes quickly scanning the blood on her face and the guns in her hands. He asked if she was alright, concern in his voice, but gave an annoyed huff when the monsters resumed their attack once more. She and the butler told the Midfords to aim for the monsters’ heads at the same time, but in doing so she was caught off-guard. Edith yelled in protest as one of the undead ripped a gun from her grasp, leaving no choice but to let it go lest it were to rip her hand off, as well. Edith shot it regardless before the others had time to attack, but that didn’t prevent her growling in frustration over her gun. Edward told Edith not to worry about it, that he'd be able to find her another one, but she'd already picked it up again. Edith grabbed a butter knife from the table behind her and immediately set to work, returning the gun to its full glory in just a few minutes before the monsters even had time to return. She smirked at the look of surprise adorning Edward’s features. “Wipe that look off of your face, Edward,” his mother admonished. “She’s Russian, what did you expect?” He was starting to smile now, then asked how long she’d been able to do that. “Pretty much my whole life,” Edith told him proudly, reloading and turning to face the fight ahead.WHITE ROSE: Edward is in awe of just how kind you always manage to be. As a knight, his role is to protect the people of England in both battlefield and everyday life so he strives to match your ability to care for others. He too believes that you are very deserving of the name White Rose, from your physical beauty to your caring nature. You are by far the most beautiful person he’s ever met, or so he always ensures to tell you. You’re like an angel to him. Edward can’t sense the purity of your soul in the way that Sebastian or William can of course, but that doesn’t mean he can’t get a vibe about it. Specifically, he feels like he could trust you with just about anything and not have to fear you telling anyone else. He also knows better than anyone that you are far too pure to have any kind of dark past. You two are fairly similar in a sense, in that you both try to look out for other people as much as possible. The only thing Edward worries about when it comes to you is that you might get caught up in the underworld. Most of the time you don’t find yourself in situations whereby you might encounter it, but you do spend a lot of time with Lizzie. Who in turn spends a lot of time with Ciel. And whilst Edward doesn’t know which or even how many of the earl’s connections form part of the underworld he has no doubt it is a wide, tangled web that is almost impossible for you to avoid. This in mind, he tries to stay with you whilst you’re in Ciel’s company - he doesn’t have all that much against Ciel (aside from the engagement to his sister) but he worries that you might stumble across something and not realize until it was too late.FLIRTY: It would make him really, really embarrassed at first. Whenever {Name} flirts with him, his face will turn red and he’ll try to divert his attention onto something else. After he gets up the courage (probably around the same time as he joins the Funtom Five), he’ll start flirting back. Even then, her flirting will probably always get him a little flustered. His flirting will all be kind of… half awkward and shy, half suave. That’s just how Edward is. It’ll be a smile that’s wider than usual, fingers lingering too long after brushing past each other, a gentle kiss to the back of her hand. Rarely, it’ll be something more direct like whispering a declaration of interest in her ear before he leaves the manor. When the moment's right, his big move is to invite her for a moonlit carriage ride. Favorite mutual flirt? Singing sappy, romantic love songs together.SHY: Edward was walking slowly around the sitting room she'd both gone to after dinner. Whether to impress her or for genuine practice, {Name} wasn’t sure, but either way he'd drawn the sword he always carried with him and was twirling it expertly in his right hand. The shining metal was glinting in the light given off by the fireplace, casting both bright shapes and contrasting shadows on the walls. Those alone were interesting enough, but the shapes and the light and dark were reflected in Edward’s eyes, as well, giving them a depth and detail like she’d never seen before. His gaze was focused on the sword and therefore hers was focused on him, quite happy to silently admire him from across the room rather than just straight-up say how beautiful he looked. That was, at least, until he caught her gaze. In a split second, {Name} shifted it back towards whatever she’d been doing — wait, what had she been doing? — and tried to look busy. Edward was only too aware of her shy nature so he just smiled at the antics. Without missing the opportunity for another intricate pattern of twirling, he sheathed the sword once more then made his way over to her. She started nervously giggling as he took a seat next to her, the girl's eyes remaining firmly glued on the ground until he rested a gentle hand on her shoulder. Blushing profusely, {Name} glanced up to see he was smiling kindly at her, even if he was also trying to keep from laughing. “You know you… you don’t need to be so shy around me, hm?” he murmured, the lightest pink coloring his own cheeks just a little. She returned the smile, a little bashful if nothing else and confessed that she did know that, she just couldn’t help reacting how she did. That sort of progressed into a quiet moment where neither felt they had to say or do anything, though Edward did still take her hand and press a small kiss to her knuckles, as he always seemed to.COMEDIC: Edward was pretty surprised the first time he heard {Name} crack what he would've deemed an incredibly inappropriate joke (for the situation, at least) but quickly came to realize that’s just how she is. He does find her very funny, though sometimes he wishes she could keep the joking about to a minimum. Think in front of other members of the nobility. And his mother! OMG his mother. He literally thought she'd get a sword between her eyes the first time she said something sarcastic in front of his mother and immediately jumped in with a speech full of reasons and explanations that any qualified politician would be proud of. But the Marchioness laughed. She actually laughed at the joke that {Name} made. Edward’s mouth fell quite literally wide open as he watched his mother chuckle at whatever she’d said — he was too astonished to even remember what it was. From then on he was less concerned with who {Name} joked about in front of, though he still mentally grimaced sometimes. Most often this was during the awkward conversations with people from other noble families where she'd giggle profusely, but entirely out of nervousness. Edward would mentally facepalm at the display and attempt to help her recover, generally by diverting the conversation away from the topic she felt embarrassed about whilst also getting the assembled party to focus on him rather than her. She was always especially grateful to him for it. Afterwards, though, he may quietly tell {Name} that whatever she did and or said was actually quite funny, just that it was entirely in the wrong time and context. If she felt bad about it, he’d tell her not to worry and that they'd forget it happened as soon as the two walked away. Half of them wouldn’t even recognize their faces the next time they saw them. He'd then proceed to tell {Name} about an incident he once bore witness to in which an older man’s wig had been completely removed from his head. Up until that point he'd successfully maintained the fiction that it was his real hair and according to Edward, his reaction had been priceless. By the end of the story, she was collapsed with laughter once again and had quite forgotten about the whole thing.

CRUSH

Criteria

| personality

I think he’d look for someone who is CAPABLE OF STANDING ON THEIR OWN TWO FEET.
HEALTHY DEBATER; doesn’t just accept what they’re told if they have a different opinion, but aren't to the point of being rash / stubborn.
PRINCIPLED; would rather suffer defeat than use any ‘unorthodox’ or ‘questionable’ methods to achieving victory. He has a strong sense of honor and justice, following his internal morals to a fault. This could be a source of conflict with a partner willing to ‘bend the rules’ when necessary.
He'd be great with an INNOVATIVE THINKER that proves the tried and true method isn’t always the most efficient (and that sometimes it is) as he's incredibly traditional; they must follow these social rules and those established methods.

| physical

*Behavior

So I feel Edward would be a bit more subdued than Cheslock. Not in a bad/uninterested way, just that he’d be a little quieter/less charismatic about the whole thing. Like people would know the two of you are in love, but he’s not the type to scream it from the rooftops. He would definitely be affectionate though. But again more subtly. I think a lot of hand holding would be the main thing with Edward, or linking arms, him putting his arm out a little so you can rest your hand in the crook of his elbow. He’s very much a bow and then kiss your knuckles/back of your hand type person, quite the gentleman in every way you can think of. When it comes to PDA, he’s certainly comfortable with all of the above. But really not much more than that. He might give you a goodnight/goodbye parting kiss on your cheek or your forehead if you’re out in public, but only a brief one (might need to persuade him with puppy eyes).
That said, if a situation unfolds whereby you are threatened, uncomfortable or otherwise in some sort of danger, all of the above goes out of the window. Gone is the quiet, well spoken person you’re so used to and that you have come to love. He is replaced immediately by someone who would give his life if it meant saving yours, who will do anything to protect your honor and integrity. Edward is incredibly protective when it comes to your safety and well being, so god help anyone who threatens that. If it were a physical threat, he would immediately have a sword to hand with his other arm held out to the side, keeping you firmly behind him where he knows you are safe. If words are being used as weapons, he can take part in a battle of wits as skillfully as he can fight with any blade. He wouldn’t be possessive, but he would want to protect you in absolutely everything, and he will not tolerate anything negative being said about you.
He won’t tolerate you being negative towards yourself either. Of course he makes sure you know you can talk to him about anything at all, however silly or unimportant you think it is, but he will be firm with you if it turns out you’re upset with how you look or some other aspect of who you are. He will tell you why that part of yourself is as beautiful as every other, not letting you believe for one second that there is anything at all wrong with you. He loves you dearly and thinks you’re perfect in every way; he won’t let you put yourself down like that.

PARTNER

Intimacy

| COMFORT

Really, he’d be a caring, insightful person to be with. He’d know her tells for feeling stressed or anxious and he always has a way to dissipate that. Even if it doesn’t quite work, he’ll still keep {Name} company until she felt better. Like Elizabeth, he also has a bit of a thing for knowing when people are feeling down, or when something isn’t quite right. It would be a bit difficult to lie or cover things up around him.

| SAFETY

Her Abduction: Edward would immediately go to Ciel. He'd try not to cry because he's a gentleman and has to have control over himself, but he’s just so desperate he feels he’s breaking inside and it's so painful to him he can’t help but shed some tears. He wouldn't even send Ciel a letter; he'd show to his manor and tell him that his lover disappeared and he needed help, even if he didn’t want Ciel’s help to begin with because of his pride. He'd be so guilty, thinking it was his fault because he couldn’t protect {Name}, and now she wasn't here; he was just panicking. He'd try to search for her right away and would need people to stop him so they can trace a plan to find her. He'd run to his s/o when he found her, searching for possible wounds and trying to contain his tears, immediately running with her to a safe place. Then he may cry in front of {Name}, hiding his face so she couldn’t see. Edward couldn’t believe that she was okay and that she was with him, and he just needs to hug her and be with her alone without people to interrupt.

| MIDFORDS

He'll be so nervous about introducing Edith to his parents, perhaps even more than her. It isn't that he won’t believe that she's a good partner for him, but his family can be very strict and even the slightest faux pas will be noticed and remembered by them. This isn't encouraging at all. First of all, Edward will do his best to prepare her for the worst. He'll tell Edith about his relatives, who's who and why, how should they be addressed, what do they like and do not like, everything which could be useful to make a great first impression. He'll give her the list of subjects she should talk about and the ones she'd rather avoid. Edith may be surprised to find the list of her favorite meals and colors, also — something she can hold onto in the desperate moments of dying conversation. Edward will be sleep deprived for at least few nights before the meeting, constantly planning and thinking about every possible scenario to avoid failure. He'll want it to be perfect, not letting some stupid detail to ruin everything. “Pshh, hey, wake up. Listen, darling — I know it’s past 3AM — but I’ve just remembered that you shouldn’t mention Calcutta to the aunt Jane. Once she got lost in there and it stressed her out so much… Will you remember about it? Dar—Darling, are you sleeping again?” When The Day comes, he won’t feel prepared at all and, ironically, she'll probably have to calm him down. Poor boy will almost have a heart attack, as if it's him meeting her family, not the other way around. Eventually, he'll be very helpful, giving Edith hints and clues about what to do and who's who, just in case she couldn’t remember something. If she can, it can be quite annoying, but it will be better to allow him doing his job, it will make him feel better and safer. Whatever he'll say, she'll find out that his family will be rather welcoming to her, willing to listen what she has to tell, asking some questions but not being too pushy. His mother’s gaze will be deadly, though, but if she'll show enough respect and good manners, she won’t be against Edith, although she'll never be allowed to rest around her. She'll be watching her. Always. Edward’s father will be in love with her, not literally, but happy that his son has finally found the woman of his life. Isn’t it the best opportunity to drink some champagne, though? Should he start organizing the wedding? Elizabeth will share her father’s enthusiasm, wanting to know everything about Edith and listening with wide open eyes. She'll quickly decide whether she's a good person for her brother or not and will be very supportive, especially later. If Edith and Edward ever argue, she'll always help them make up, giving very useful advice. She knows his secrets, so staying on her good side will be a good choice. After introducing Edith to his family, Edward will probably need a whole day of sleep, too drained to even think. Still, he'll be happy about it and will be planning the next dinner together already.

Possessiveness

| PROTECTIVE

He loves situations in which he feels he's protecting his partner — as long as she isn’t in any real danger. He revels in those moments when she seeks him as comfort / protection, however he’s extremely protective by nature, so it would immediately turn into a very distasteful situation should his lover be threatened in any way. Edward will always be ready to protect {Name} from literally everything, showing her how safe she can be with him, no matter what. Being as chivalrous as he is, he'll take care of those who won’t be treating her with due respect, never letting an opportunity to tell them how improper was their behavior even if it may cause her some problems, especially if the people he'll say it to happen to be more numerous, better-built and probably drunk. Don't worry, he'll get them both out of the trouble as fast as he got them into it, either with his sword or last name. He'd do anything for {Name}. That being said, he'd also get jealous easily and always want her to be near him when they're out and about.

| JEALOUS

Edward's extremely protective and prone to getting jealous whenever a person of the same gender comes along. Because who wouldn’t want her?

Quality Time

| DATES

He'd really enjoy dates with her, viewing them as both a way to show his affection and a means to show off his partner — he's really proud to have her.

| ACTIVITIES

If she can fence, prepare for a lot of training sessions. If she's at his level or better than him, the competition's going to be fierce — he won’t lose easily. I think he’d enjoy going horse riding / hunting with her if she knows how to, or for walks around the estate if she doesn’t. Edward would enjoy participating in simple things with her, such as going on walks or having a picnic — part of this being that he enjoys traditional / cliché acts of romanticism, even though they'll almost always make him blush.

| HOBBIES

If {Name} has any interests / hobbies / sports that he doesn’t partake in, he’s more than happy to give them a try with if she wants him to. He also loves to hear her talk about them, or about her favorite book or anything really, it’s just how she warms to her subject. Even if she doesn’t necessarily convey her passion in words, the feeling's there in abundance behind what she's saying and he can see it clearly in her eyes.

| WINTER

Ice-skating. He doesn’t necessarily enjoy playing in the snow, but he does enjoy taking walks in light snow / after it’s stopped snowing. Having talks and / or reading (separate books or one is reading to the other) by the fireplace. Baking gingerbread men (and probably burning them).

Words of Affirmation

| COMPLIMENT

Edward absolutely adores his partner and, whenever they're alone, would shower her in compliments. He'd probably also have a habit of staring lovingly at {Name}, and would blush and get a bit flustered when he notices himself doing so (or if someone mentions it).

| SUPPORT

He'll be so emotional over everything she's doing. Whatever hobby or talent {Name} has, he'll constantly praise her for that, compliment her in front of his family and friends, admire her work to the point where it becomes comical and then get embarrassed because of this burst of feelings. However, it will be impossible for him to stop because he'll love every single detail about her so much that he'll want the world to know how lucky he is to have her.

Acts of Service

| MANNERS

He'd always be a perfect gentleman around {Name}, kissing her knuckles, holding the door for her, addressing her properly and speaking of her respectfully — even if she isn't around him at the moment. His attitude isn't a game, after all; he simply is that way. He'll place his coat on the puddle so {Name} can walk on it and not dirty her shoes. ~~If it won’t be enough~~; ~~he may even offer to lay flat on the puddle so~~ ~~she~~ ~~can use him as a bridge~~.

| TRADITIONAL

Being chivalrous has been ingrained in his head due to his upbringing in nobility. He makes sure to always open the door, pay for the meal, and give up his seat. Edward insists that {Name} dresses properly and behaves 'like a lady.’

| ACADEMIA

He'd always offer his help in whatever thing she was currently doing, be it a laundry or some school / college / job project. Having a surprising amount of knowledge for many various subjects, he can actually be very helpful but if not, he'd simply prepare her favorite beverage and keep an eye on her so she wouldn’t ruin her sleeping schedule. If {Name} has any questions involving academia — studying and don’t understand something, want to know more about what he’s studying, want to find an interesting book to read, etc. — he’s more than happy to help. He has a way of explaining things that allows her to understand her content.

Receiving Gifts

| READING

He always knows the best books which she'll be most interested in. Edward takes into account her current mood when picking them, as well.

Physical Touch

| PUBLIC DISPLAYS OF AFFECTION

Edward wouldn’t be fond of PDA, as he's still obsessed with being 'proper' and feels affection is something to be shown in private — however, he wouldn’t hesitate to show it if he saw someone getting a bit too friendly with {Name}. He'd also like it if she dressed fairly conservatively, as he feels that her body's also something to be seen in private — plus, as previously mentioned, he's quite protective of her.

| CUDDLING

Although it may take him a bit to enjoyably do so, he'd appreciate cuddling with {Name} or otherwise just relaxing alone with her. He'd be a blushing mess the first few times and may even seem uncomfortable, however he'd just need a bit to get used to it, as doing such things wasn’t something he was accustomed to.

Sensuality

| xxx

...

VIRGINITY

He's a virgin and believes that he should wait for the right partner, the one he'll want to spend the rest of the life with. Edward doesn’t mind about what the others do, but he, personally, want his first time to be special and experienced with a special person, dear to his heart. Being properly educated, he'll be generally aware of how the things should be going, however, when the real time comes and they both land in the bed, he'll become a stressed mess — internally, that is, keeping the I-know-what-I’m-doing façade all the time because he'll believe that if he appears as experienced, then Edith won’t be nervous as much as if it was somebody who has no idea what to do. He'll shower her with so many compliments that it may start being embarrassing but she should know that all of them will be spoken sincerely from his heart. Edward’s manners won’t be allowing him to take lady’s virginity without making her feel like the most important and the most beautiful person in the world. Edward will feel a lot more confident if there won’t be any lights in the bedroom in this time. The sudden thoughts about looking funny or making weird faces will haunt him in the middle of sex and this is the only safe way to completely prevent that. Plus, it will make their other senses work better.

INTERCOURSE

DOMINANCE: Preferably dominant, however he’s very flustered by sex ~~and secretly enjoys being ridden~~, so his partner usually ends up taking the reigns — which makes him even more embarrassed, because he feels he should be the dom, so he ends up a blushing, stuttering mess. (He forgets about his embarrassment really quickly, though.)
INTIMACY: While in bed, he’ll never break eye contact. He likes to watch the way her expression changes with every in and out and when she climaxes. Seeing her face of pleasure and having her pant so close to his mouth makes him cum harder. He'll worship every inch of her body and make sure she's aware of it by kissing and touching everywhere, sometimes biting to watch her reaction — not to mention licking in a places that will make her see the stars ~~(͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)~~ Being a true gentleman, he'll always take care of Edith first, making her cum at least once before him.
VOCAL: Because of his temperament, when having sex, he may lose it and whisper some ‘fuck’s and ‘ugh’s under the breath. He'll feel really ashamed after doing so and will probably want it to stay only between them.
ORAL: Generally, he prefers to receive ~~oh dear, he really does~~ but it's more complicated, because it makes him blush like a tomato and he tends to be embarrassed about it for at least few days after. That's why it's better for his nerves to give — and he quite enjoys pleasing his lover.
KINKS: This man is totally vanilla. When he does come around to physically being with a woman, he’ll be completely nervous. He’s one to uphold tradition, believing that women should be conservative, and most importantly, respected. This belief carries into love-making itself at first. If Edith asked to be spanked, tied, or scratched, it would put him off. Maybe he’ll come around to the idea as he gets older. He'll be serious, strict and probably against trying new things in bed but it doesn’t mean he won’t like them all. However, he won’t refuse if she nicely asks him to do something special to her liking, most likely because he just won’t want to speak about such a things for longer than needed.
- Though he isn’t into anything wild, Edward absolutely loves squeezing her ass before and during sex… And apologizes about it afterwards. He truly is a knight.
- Most definitely has a foot fetish, though he’ll try to deny this for a long time. Something about small soft feet of his partner gets him going like a rabbit. If she ever finds out, she’d take extra care of her feet. Making sure they're manicured and worthy of giving Edward a foot-job, which he eventually becomes a sucker for.
- Sex in the water, also wax play and being blindfolded.

AFTERCARE

Leave some love bites on his neck and shoulders and observe how flushed and nervous he'll be all day long, afraid that somebody could realize what kind of dirty things they were doing.

Parent

| FATHERHOOD

Edward would be a strict father. He wouldn’t go easy on his kids, especially if they were boys. He’d model a lot of his parenting skills after how his own parents raised him, as he thinks they’re the best examples. He’d also teach them the best morals, and they’d be raised right — they’d be the most honorable and respectful people you ever did meet, and if they weren’t, then Edward feels as though he’s failed. As expected, he’d be fiercely protective of them, and would give his life in a heartbeat if it was for his family. While he’d be stern, he’d be able to chill every once in awhile and do his best to spend every Sunday with his family. (He’d also be a total sucker for his little girl, if he had one.) He’d really crack down on them during the teenage years.

I’d say he has a very big heart. Pretty family-oriented, he loves his family and he tried to protect them as best he can. We know he’s an academic. I reckon he has a very good work ethic, but academia is not his heart and soul. He knows how to get his work done and also have a healthy amount of time left for things he wants to do; fencing, reading, probably other sports too. Horse riding and shooting were quite popular at the time so I’d say he enjoys those too. He’s very protective of Lizzie. He doesn’t want her heart to be messed around with or worst of all broken, which is why he gives Ciel such a hard time. He would really do just about anything for her, just wanting to make sure she’s alright. If she’s ever upset, it breaks his own heart. That said, if another person's responsible for the state she’s in he'll make sure they never see her again. He’s a very good actor/excels at taking on another personality when he needs to. His alter ego in the Phantom Five was, as the name suggests, completely different to his normal personality. But after practicing a bit he pulled it off excellently. He’s also a good leader. He’s confident but not bossy / demanding. He probably expects things to be done in a timely fashion but wouldn’t insist people work themselves flat out just to meet a deadline. He’s more flexible like that. He knows how to delegate tasks to the people helping him so that each of their strengths are used to the maximum. He also knows the value of teamwork, which is likely why his leadership skills are so good. Now, his fencing skills may not be up to Lizzie’s standard, but he is definitely no slouch. He’s not one to get put off by the enemy he’s facing (be it a real one or another member of the dueling club). He’s able to push fear and anxiety aside to get the job done, like how he was unphased by the zombies on the Campania. That and he doesn’t really get nervous or anxious, only when it comes to the safety and health of his family, especially Lizzie. And despite how protective he is of her, he still respects her choices and right to chose - he doesn’t prevent her from doing anything/speak for her / etc. except in the most dire of circumstances, I.E. when she’s liable to get hurt. Going back to the leadership thing, he’s current prefect of the Green House at Weston College. This tells me the guy has awesome time management skills. He can be prefect, keep grades up AND do everything else he wants in his free time. That is some achievement. On another note, honor / valor are things he values highly. Like he was trying to get women and children onto the Campania’s life boats first. He also protected as many people as possible from the zombies
Him getting flustered and blushing at everything. Especially when it involves members of the opposite sex. Being very romantic, but in a clumsy, adorkable way. Not in the suave, debonair, way *cough* Sebastian *cough*.
