Forsyth x Python headcanons? (Ship so hard >\\\_\\\<)
Thirsty Note: Forsython is like… one of my favorite ships in echoes. It isn’t graybin, but I still love it a lot. They just have such a good dynamic, and they flow together so easily even though they’re so different. It’s great and it also deserves more love.
No one was surprised when it came out that Forsyth and Python were seeing each other romantically. While the two argue more times than they talk, there was just a chemistry between the two that even a blind man could see. It was easy to see it in Forsyth’s eyes when he looked at Python, and it was easy to tell when Python’s tone wasn’t so snappy when addressing Forsyth. Needless to say, everyone in the Deliverance who made bets for their relationship were happy.
Forsyth’s worrying over Python skyrockets to almost unmanageable heights when they finally confess their feelings for each other. He’d always been worried that Python would slack too much and come to find himself stuck with a lance or taking an arrow in the abdomen, but now he scrutinizes every aspect of Python’s life and nags him endlessly about taking better care of himself. Python still is his usual self and always rolls his eyes and shakes off his endless nagging, but he does take care to be more careful on the battlefield. He’d never want to see Forsyth hurt over him, so he watches his back a little more and takes training more seriously (but not too much. He is still is Python after all).
They don’t exactly have what one would call ‘romantic’ dates, if any. Neither of them see the need, spending time together going about their daily business is enough for them. That’s not to say they never go out on a date, as every now and then Python will drag Forsyth from his duties to relax and watch the stars, or Forsyth will force Python to tag along with him on supply runs and they’ll go out to shops together. Most of the time they find that they much rather retire to their shared tent and just spend the night in each other’s company.
They often find themselves in heated arguments over the dumbest things, but both are quick to make up for the harsh words they said. They each understand each other’s limits, the other’s quirks and they always know the best way to make it up to each other.
Their relationship is just…. Easy. They know each other so well and are so comfortable with the other that their relationship flows with few bumps in the road. They may bicker, but they bicker like an old married couple. Everything just somehow works and they’re perfectly fine with it.
They balance each other perfectly. Python is the one to keep Forsyth grounded when he flies away with his dreams and Forsyth pushes Python to apply himself more. They become better versions of themselves when the other is around, and their strength doubles when they are together. They are a powerhouse couple, even if they don’t realize it themselves.
They would follow the other anywhere in life. They journeyed to the Deliverance together, they fought together, they’ve fallen in love together and they intend to stay together until the end. Nothing, and I mean nothing, will ever part them.
They aren’t the most cuddly couple. A quick peck here and there in the eyes of the Deliverance, but most of their affection comes in the comfort of their shared tent. Even then though, they aren’t all over each other. While they do occasionally share an embrace, hold each other’s hand or even hold each other in their shared bed, they aren’t always touching the other. The affection is still there, but they find just being in the other’s presence is enough. Python does enjoy their flings in the bedroom, though Forsyth will go completely red and slap Python to shut him up if he ever brings it up.
