If Nil, by some miracle, ever survived the acid trip Momo technically induced by accidentally swapping melatonin with acid, he'd probably be livid, at least for a little bit. She likely realized this soon after she returned home and sent Dimitri out to check on Nil and deliver her apology. Whenever he returns, she'll give him an actual apology, and it's probably the most sincere he's ever seen her.

(I don't actually know if he'd forgive her, but for the sake of this, he has to lmao)

He's reluctant to forgive her at first, or at least accept her apology. Really reluctant. He thinks she's batshit insane for keeping melatonin and acid in the same pocket and never checking twice. He had possibly the worst trip of his life that night. However, he also wants to move on and be done with it, focus on the more important things going on in his life. But with enough time, he comes around. It's clear she spent all night rather frantic and genuinely remorseful over the slip-up, so he can find it in him to forgive her and move on.

Nil will likely never touch acid again after the horrid trip he had that night, but he will smoke or partake in whatever other drugs he feels like with her. They probably spend a lot of time lounging around and talking, possibly sharing dumb or sentimental memories depending on the overall mood. Momo does most of it. Nil just kinda listens, occasionally butts in with his own input, but he's pretty content with settling for either silence or her voice.

Momo is flirty in an annoying way. She does more than enough talking, flirting, and teasing for both of them, which makes up for Nil's general apathy and silence for the most part. He "makes up" for it through things like physical touch and bringing small, really odd gifts he finds around the woods. It's subtle, but he likes to have a hand or arm around her, regardless of where they are, mostly to show off. In private, Momo typically manages to turn simply holding hands into a bear hug or cuddle session on the floor/bed, despite his grumblings and half-hearted complaints.

She also tries to alleviate his insomnia by providing him with proper melatonin, free of charge. She'll even let him stay in her house (I think the headcanon of her having a finished basement is popular) and will usually bombard the sofa or, on occasion, her bed, with all kinds of blankets and pillows with food and drinks an arm's reach away. She'll joke about his insomnia and how dead he looks half the time, but she does truly understand the toll it takes on him and wants to be able to help at least a little. If he really can't sleep, they can just smoke and relax instead, and let the TV drone on in the background.

They get fried and watch Scooby-Doo a lot. That and Snail Man & Slime Frog reruns late into the night.

Momo can make light of his situation and issues without being necessarily hurtful or insensitive. She isn't the best at having deep or sentimental conversations, at least not while sober (which works out well because neither is Nil), but her quips and casual assurance are enough to quiet his racing mind.

Nil tries to be really nonchalant and quiet about their relationship, especially around other people. It's not like he's ashamed or anything; he just isn't one for things like PDA or outward declarations of love, and he refuses to express stuff like that in front of friends. It's sappy, to him at least. Momo, on the other hand, is pretty loud in general and has nothing against smooching and nicknames in front of others (for the most part). She'll gag when others do it, though, especially in crowded areas like lines and hallways. It's fine when she does it, though, of course.

They definitely make an interesting couple. They still bicker and fight a lot, though it's more like that of an old married couple now, rather than straight insults and names. Either way, both are/were mostly lighthearted. It's rare to see them be super affectionate, unless Momo initiates, where it's rarely reciprocated with as much enthusiasm, but they're chill and occasionally kind of affectionate in private.
