Ben and Rachel
Obviously with the hospital thread Ben we see that he is very flirty with her. I think after this his shyness would strike. He wouldn't avoid her, but he'd blush a lot, fumble over his words, realizing that 'oh hey this girl actually likes me back.' He's pretty optimistic, but I think he'd have moments of woe where he'd be worried that for whatever reason she wouldn't keep him for his faulty legs.
Older Ben keeps just about the same as he ages. He's soft spoken and intelligent. Very rarely raises his voice. He of course, adores Rachel. He's not one to mope around about his legs, so he'll do just about everything he can with her as if he didn't have any sort of paralysis. He'd probably procure some variety of desk job since his hopes of professional Quidditch would be a bit dashed after his back 'accident.'
Ben also adores his children, even Vallonia, who one could assume was part of the baby boom 'accident.' He makes sure his kids don't grow up with any sort of pity. At that, any mention of Julian is very vague. Baine is their 'Grandfather.' Ben has always liked this particular "family friend" and always appreciated how he gave care to his mother any time she needed it.
Devlin and Petra
... I think it goes without saying that Devlin is exceptionally devoted to the girl. He's kind of in his father's position in that never really had ~that~ feeling for someone else (Baine excluded in Lucian's case) and gets a little fumbly. A girl he's known practically all of his life is suddenly in a manner foreign to him. He wants to do nothing more than please her and takes her words to heart. When she essentially says she's not ready, he tries to push his thoughts for her aside, focus on other girls. Doesn't work. But, he greatly fears messing things up with her (it's like suddenly so many things that come out of his mouth can be wrong and he thinks she'll hate him). Post snatching, he'd be particularly protective of her.
After coming out the amortenia, as mentioned, he'd run off to his sister, cry in her lap for awhile and explain everything he could. Dev at this point would be petrified (ha) that Petra may have moved on with someone else in his 5-year absence. After wetting Isabella's and probably Poppy's lap, he'd shuffle his feet a bit and then seek Petra out. After finding her he'd probably just grab her and kiss her with no thought to whether or not she she'd moved on or not. Then he'd cry in her lap, too.
Again, as mentioned, Dev is like Baine and Lucian (without the crazy streaks). He'd dote on her, cuddle her, spoil her if he wanted. It takes him a little bit to warm up to his Jadlings (kind of how Lucian was akin to ohfuuckk at Kara, but then it's seen that he treats her just as his other kin). I think so long as Petra would welcome them with open arms he'd be fine.
Amelia and Barnabas
I kind of view this as more of... Initially at least, an 'animalistic' attraction. I mean, Barnabas didn't just happen upon Amelia after she fell or began yelling. He was sitting there quietly watching her way before that. Upon seeing her human form he finds her very much attractive (still he would've helped her regardless) though obviously this doesn't keep him from snarking all over her. He's a little touchy-feely, but not overly so. He likes to tease her, but he can do this without groping her boobs, pussy or ass. He calls her his kitten and chui simply out of his own amusement, and since they are "dating." Though at the same time it's his low cue of "I'm courting you, any other males need to back off
He'd love to sleep with her, but that's not his 'goal.' She intrigues him despite his tendency to snark at her. She's worth more of his time however, than to just try to get into her pants. However, again, he likes to tease and will probably go out of his way to make her a hot mess even if he won't follow up with any immediate release.
Eventually (soon?) it'll be apparent that he's very curious of her Muggle background and will question her a lot.
