My Grekki Headcanons:
Giving my thoughts on this funny little crackship I had for a while:
Dynamics: Greg and Nikki's relationship is one of the most nuanced relationship dynamics I have seen, interpreted because it is dependent on how and when they interact, which determines their relationship. Anyways, for my interpretation, I see them as indirect foils who make the other more well-rounded. Like Greg, his lazy, rude, and egotistical personality increases Nikki's sense of boldness and voice in general; due to his being on her same level in terms of semantics popularity and advantages, thus Nikki has nothing to worry about when calling him out, which in turn makes Greg more responsible and considerate.
Greg, with his self-centered, blunt, and prideful personality, can make Nikki more self-serving. While this can be a negative thing, it could also be a good thing because Nikki depends on other people, and she's a bit of an echoist.
Nikki, with her more bubbly, emotional, and enthusiastic personality, can make Greg more compassionate and more likely to open up about things like his moderate femininity around her, which he often indulges alone.
Greg shows signs of being compassionate, but often his pride, ego, and greed get the better of him, and someone must remind him of what is morally right. Greg tries, although not perfectly, and he tries even though he doesn't fully understand why. Especially when he's guilted, and Nikki will likely guilt him indirectly, or not.
Greg's envious personality can make Nikki more aware of opportunities she sorta takes for granted.
The relationship for them is great, but for everyone else, it is a mess because Nikki is more selfish and self-serving than usual, which turns off her friends (Chloe and Zoe), and Greg, as a better friend to Rowley, might accidentally leave him behind. After all, Greg is so open about his interests now, he might find he and Rowley aren't compatible anymore as he seeks someone else who relates to him.
As for my Miscellaneous Shipping Headcanon Stuff:
I always imagine Greg to be the better kisser in a comedic sense because of how many romance shows and novels he has read. I feel he uses the wrong strong kiss to surprise Nikki with. (Nikki is the better traditional kisser out of the two.)
Nikki is the cuddler over Greg if she chooses, and Greg has no say. Poor Greg. (Nikki is touch starve and Greg is more touch averse but caves in)
Height difference: Nikki is slightly taller than Greg, and she probably mocks him mostly to jab his pride.
Always bantering with each other because they're foils for a reason.
Greg is the cheesy and petty one in the relationship. He has Nikki embarrass herself or have him embarrassing her in a passive-aggressive playful manner for revenge until Nikki gets mad at him. Greg never learns from this.
In the future Greg is a male wife and Nikki becomes a female husband. Nikki wears the pants in the relationship.
Greg thinks he spoils Nikki too much and he does.
Nikki has low jealousy levels for Greg because no one is fighting for him and Greg has high jealousy for Nikki because of how social she is. However, whenever both previous crushes or love interests are mentioned, jealousy increases.
Greg thinks he’s too good for Nikki. He’s not and Nikki knows she can do better than him, lol.
That's All. Anyway, I think about this pairing way too much, and I probably should stop doing that.
