Thanks for the ask! (Itās a bit tricky because I rarely picture domestic E/R but I will try my best.)
Gives forehead/nose kisses: Erik but in a weirdly deliberate sort of way, like he feels like he shouldnāt be allowed to touch Raoul but does it anyways, or like he thinks Raoul is fragile.
Gets jealous the most: Raoul is more likely to get casually jealous likeĀ āwhy is Erik always talking to that dudeā, but Erik is more likely to commit a murder out of jealousy and probably has at least once.
Takes care of on sick days: Mm both. But on a practical level Raoul gets sick more often so I guess Erik.
Drags the other person out into the water on beach day: Raoul. Even if theyāre both wearing clothes. Itās his thing. But then afterwards, when his clothes are drying, he gets very melancholy because he canāt stop thinking about Christine.
Brings the other lunch at work: I meanā¦does either of them even have a job? I feel like no.
Tries to start role-playing in bed: It starts with Erik, usually. And opera characters, either from an opera they just saw or an opera Erik is trying to write. Raoul is embarrassingly Into It.
Embarrassingly drunk dancer: Raoul. When Erikās drunk he either starts crying or attempts murder.
Firmly believes in couples costumes: ErikāI mean we see in canon that Raoul thinks a Hussar costume is a perfect match for a Star Princess so yeah heās an underachiever in that area.
Breaks the expensive gift rule during Christmas: Mm probably Raoul, heās not as rich as his family would like to pretend but he thinks Erik has expensive taste and heās right. Erik gets Raoul expensive stuff but a lot of the time he steals it so it doesnāt really count.
Makes the other eat breakfast: Erik believes in healthy living.
Remembers anniversaries: Erik has way too good of a memory and some of the anniversaries he remembers are of events Raoul canāt remember even when he brings them up. Fortunately Erik is fine with being the only one in this relationship who obsesses over these things.
Brings up having kids first: Raoul. I think they havenāt quite worked it out yet though.
Kills the bugs: Erik. Raoul always tries to carry them elsewhere.
First to define them as a couple: Erik was defining them as a couple before they actually were a couple (stalking =/= relationship) but when Raoul agrees that theyāre a couple, thatās when they actually are.
Who hides their guilty pleasures longer: Raoul is pretty good at hiding his guilty pleasures. Erik writes fucking operas about them, and theyāre all really vanilla things like,Ā āI would like to have a romantic partner I didnāt kidnap or blackmailā orĀ āsomeday I want to have sex.ā
Snorts while laughing: Erik.
So, yep. I wonder how they would actually get togetherā¦for all the E/R fics Iāve written Iām not sure Iāve ever written one where theyāre in a healthy relationship. It would certainly be interesting! Thanks for the ask!
