"In a flash his hand snaked out and seized my wrist. The room came into sudden focus. He yanked me close, wedging me between his knees. His other hand pressed to the small of my back, his strong fingers splayed over the curve of my spine. 'You were meant to be my balance, [Elodie]. You are the only person in the world who might rule with me, who might keep my power in check.' 'And who will balance me?'
I hesitated, feeling danger crowd in on me. '[Lucerys],' I whispered. His grin faded, and his [dark] eyes seemed to flicker. 'Again,' he said. '[Luke].' He leaned in. I felt his breath against my neck, then the press of his mouth against my skin, just above the collar, almost a sigh. 'Don't,' I said, pulling back, but he held me tighter. His hand went to the nape of my neck, long fingers twining in my hair, easing my head back. I closed my eyes."

Protagonists can be intense when it comes to matters of the heart – and they would not have it any other way. People with this personality type rarely settle for anything that falls short of their ideals, and their romantic relationships are no exception. Although these personalities may come across as outgoing or even a bit flirtatious, few Protagonists are satisfied by fleeting attractions. Their standards are high, and they know it. In fact, this awareness might give Protagonists a deeper appreciation of just how rare and precious it is to feel a real spark with another person – and, in turn, just how rare and special it is when that spark grows into the steady flames of true, abiding love.
When Protagonists fall for someone, they tend to fall hard – and they are not coy about it. Protagonists are among the personality types that most readily express how they feel, so they often find themselves making the first move, rather than playing games or waiting for reassurance that the other person feels the same way. The Protagonists' willingness to put themselves out there can be refreshing and more than a little unusual. This, along with the intensity of their passion, is incredibly appealing to many people. That said, because Protagonists do so often make the first move, they may encounter their share of rejection as they search for a kindred spirit.
Even on the first date, these personalities may steer the conversation toward weightier topics. Protagonists do not just want to find out mere trivia about the other person – they want to get a sense of their partner's dreams and aspirations, the changes they hope to make to themselves and to the world. And as the relationship deepens, Protagonists take pride in supporting their partner to make good on these dreams. Some Protagonists carry this a step further, taking on their partner's goals as their own. This can be problematic, to say the least. If Protagonist personalities become over-invested in helping their partner, they may end up neglecting their own self-care, interests, and friendships. They may also be at risk of pushing their partner to change their life in ways that they simply aren’t ready for.
When Protagonists carry this too far, they often find that the pressure they put on their partner to "better" themselves backfires in one of two ways. Their partner may become insecure, fearing that they aren’t good enough as they are, or they may become angry, feeling resentful of the implication that they need to change. Either way, Protagonists must learn to encourage their partner to grow without pushing too hard.
Few personality types are keener than Protagonists to establish a loving commitment with their chosen partner. They take marriage and relationships seriously. Even in the earliest days of a relationship, Protagonists tend to focus on long-term potential, and as the relationship matures, they want to do what it takes to bring that potential to fruition. This can be a beautiful thing. Protagonists care about pleasing their partner, and their sensitivity helps them tune in to their partner's shifting moods and desires. As long as they do not lose track of their own needs, people with this personality type can enjoy incredibly rewarding relationships that are founded on trust, mutual support, and honesty – and, of course, love.

"His smile faded into something awed, something... Reverent, and I reached out to cup his face in my hands – To find my skin glowing.
Faintly, as if some inner light shone beneath my skin, leaking out into the world. Warm and white light, like the sun – like a star. Those wonder-filled eyes met mine, and [he] ran a finger down my arm. 'Well, at least now I can gloat that I can literally make my mate glow with happiness.'"

Elodie about Luke
His relentless protection: Though it infuriates her at times, Elodie is secretly, and deeply, moved by how far Luke will go to keep her safe. She recognizes the quiet, haunted edges of a man who would tear down kingdoms if it meant she would breathe another day.
His restraint: She admires his iron control, even when it drives her mad. That someone with so much raw power, with bloodlines forged in cruelty, chooses not to give in to rage - It humbles her.
Luke about Elodie
Her fire: He adores how she stands tall even when the world tries to break her. Her stubbornness. Her clever tongue. Her refusal to yield, even when trembling.
Her voice: Whether she is recounting a folktale, whispering truths in the dark, or singing some ancient melody, Luke is undone by the sound of her. It calms him in ways nothing else can.
Her belief in something better: When his past darkens the future, it is Elodies belief in healing, hope, and rebirth that keeps him from sinking. She is the part of the prophecy he trusts; the part that chooses to believe they are not doomed.

LOVE LANGUAGE
"'There, my queen,' he said. 'A constellation to wear in your hair.'
'My star-touched queen,' he said softly, as if he was remembering something from long ago. 'I would break the world to give you what you want.'"

For those, whose love language is that of the physical touch, they yearn for the intimacy that comes along with having a parnter close by at all times. They find comfort in the physical connection, shared body heat and skin meeting skin, whether that be sexual or something more platonic. Holding hands, rubbing each other's backs, falling asleep with arms and legs intertwined or caressing each other lightly is just as beneficial to the relationship as a sexual act, although they are likely at their happiest when they melt together and become one with their significant other. To this person, a kiss on the forehead means a thousand times more than any declaration of love, and they themselves usually communicate their affection in the same, physical manner. They connect most deeply with their partner, when they are physically entangled, and they find both joy, excitement and beauty in knowing each other's erogenous zones and vulnerabilities without ever having to utter a word.
So leave your expensive gifts and grand gestures at home when it comes to charming this person, because a physical entanglement is all it takes. As long as it is given and received at the right time and place with good, honest intentions behind it.
"He stared at her, knowing with certainty that he was falling in love. He pulled her close and kissed her beneath a blanket of stars,
wondering how on earth he'd been lucky enough to find her."

"What I felt was… it was messy and raw. I hated him, and…I didn't. I cared for him, as idiotic as that was. And I wanted him – his kiss, his touch. But I also wanted to hurt him. We weren't lovers. We were enemies, and we could never be anything else. I was surrounded by people who hated me."

"Because the longer he kept me here with him, the harder it would be for me to remember the truth. The more I would desperately want to believe that I was special to him because I just wanted to be special to someone. Anyone. To be something other than a pawn. The longer I was with him, the more likely I would be to forget about all that blood that was on his hands."

If a Scorpio and a Sagittarius want to make a love match, they should be warned to slow down, take their time getting to know one another on a deep, significant level or else they run the risk of getting way ahead of themselves.
This relationship could be over before either partner even realizes it’s started if they’re not careful! Their patience will be very richly rewarded. Sagittarius thrives on change, on the new and the exciting and on the power of positive thought. Scorpio just wants to get closer and strengthen emotional ties. Early in the relationship, Sagittarius could feel hemmed in by Scorpio’s rapt attention and high expectations for love. If Scorpio can control their emotions, these two are in for satisfaction and excitement.
"'I promised you the moon for your throne and stars to wear in your hair,' [he] said, gesturing inside. 'And I always keep my promises.'"
– Roshani Chokshi
Both Scorpio and Sagittarius see each day as an adventure (or in Scorpio’s case, a compelling mystery) and as an endless opportunity to explore, to probe, to learn. Shared escapades bring them closer. While Sagittarius may get fed up with Scorpio’s stubbornness and inflexibility, Scorpio could be thinking their Sagittarius mate is just a little too hotheaded. They’ll enjoy learning together, and travel could be very beneficial for this pair. Their relationship is always on the go!

"In that moment, he looked like mischief and midnight,
like a temptation that always slipped away too fast and left you at once relieved and disappointed."
– Roshani Chokshi
"She raised her eyes to his, slow and unwilling, braced for anger or coldness-but his gaze was fixed on hers, his dark eyes somber beneath their thick black lashes, and they were stripped of all their usual cool, aloof distance. They were as clear as glass and full of desire. And more than desire – a tenderness she had never seen in them before, had never even associated with him. That, more than anything else, stopped her protest as he raised his hands and methodically began to take the pins from her hair, one by one.
This is madness, she thought, as the first pin rattled to the ground. They should be running, fleeing this place. Instead she stood, wordless, as he cast her pearl clasps aside as if they were so much paste jewelry. Her own long, curling hair fell down around her shoulders, and he slid his hands into it. She heard him exhale as he did so, as if he had been holding his breath for months and had only just let it out. She stood as if mesmerized as he gathered her hair in his hands, draping it over one of her shoulders, winding her curls between his fingers. 'My Elodie,' he said, and this time she did not tell him that she was not his."
– Cassandra Clare
