1 for your candies
1. Have you thought about what will happen to your Candyās relationship with their crush once high school is over?
Iām going to preface this answer with the unashamed admission that I play these games for sappy romantic happiness. Itās not that Iām not a fan of tragic endings or ~drama~ (I love drama), but most of my characters have little pieces of me and itās hard for me to give them sad endings. Obviously not everyone is going to stay together, but I have quite a few happy endings. And I firmly resist the notion that theyāre unrealistic! Iām still w/ my boyfriend from high school, 4 years after!
Anyway, thanks for asking, Nonny! Hereās a rundown! Itās going to get long, so Iām putting it under a read-more.
Calemar
Her relationship with Castiel is actually one of the only ones I have that doesnāt really end well! Their relationship during high school was a pretty big indicator of what it would be like after. They have an on and off relationship for a few years, breaking up because they just arenāt compatible for a long-term relationship and then getting back together because they are young and attracted to/care about each other. Eventually, though, something happens that they canāt really come back from. Itās a mutual decision, and they pretty much stop speaking to each other. Despite the relationship being rocky as hell, Calemar still remembers it fondly.
Calemar and Kim are my together-forever couple. I knew as soon as I started shipping them that Kim was someone Calemar would love deeply and indefinitely. Theyāre a wonderful mixture of comfortable together and crazy about each other, soĀ when they leave high school, their paths just intertwine. Itās partly fate and partly their own efforts to stay together. They end up living together in a small & cozy apartment and traveling during the summers.
Calemar and Armin are⦠complicated. If Iām being honest. I still havenāt decided whether or not they stay together romantically (currently I am leaning toward yes!), but regardless, they are always a part of each otherās lives! From the start, their relationship was based on mutual interests and compatible personalities. They just work together. Armin is a frequent guest at Calemar and Kimās apartment, and the three of them get along tremendously (though Kim and Armin still tease each other <3).
Lu
Lu and Lysander date for a few years after high school. Both become very involved in their own personal goals, however. Lu has given up her English degree to pursue a career as a dancing instructor, and Lysander is traveling a lot for his music. Their relationship becomes distant, and though they love each other very much, they decide that staying together is ultimately causing them more grief than joy. They split up. BUT. Fast forward into their late 30s. Lu has her dance studio, and is a divorcee/mom to two little girls. While sheās dropping them off at school, she runs into Lysander dropping off his nephew! Heās in town to visit Leigh and Rosa, and they decide to get drinks toĀ ācatch up.ā But the attraction/affection from years ago is still very present, and one thing leads to another. They end up getting married in their 40s. <3
Davie
Davie and Nathaniel are one of my pairings that I refused to let go. They definitely have rocky periods in their relationships. One resulted in a brief separation, but when they got back together their feelings for each other were on much firmer ground. They just connect on so many levels, and they have been through a lot together that you just canāt walk away from. They push through their college education, and once both of them have graduated and obtained steady careers, they move in together! As for their Futureā¢, the day that Nathaniel works up the courage to propose is the day Davie finds out sheās pregnant. Itās a very emotional day, lmao.
Davie and Dajan have always had a very relaxed relationship, due to them attending separate schools. Their lives continue to steer in different directions after high school, but they always stay in touch, and when they happen to be in the same area, they make sure to get together. Davie really appreciates how easy things are with him. They shoot each other emails about exciting things happening in their lives, or call each other in the middle of the night if they really need to talk to someone. Thereās never any pressure to keep in touch; they just do.
Davie and Charlotte date seriously for a pretty long time in college. Theyāre very much the kind of couple to call at 3AM and ask to come over/give each other drawers at their apartments. Charlotte has big plans for her life, though, and eventually they lead her away from Davie. Itās not really anyoneās fault. They donāt keep in touch the same way that Davie and Dajan do, but Davie has a lot of pictures saved of their time together, and she remembers it very fondly.
Gemma
Gemma and Kentin date for a couple years after high school, but it ends up not working out. If you were to ask them what happened, neither could really put their finger on it. They remain very close friends (i.e. āYouāre going to be the godparent to my babyā kind of friends). That being said, there are definitely moments in their lives where they wonder what might have happened if theyād stayed together (which may or may not result a period of exploration, havenāt decided yet!).
Gemmaās relationship with Melody lasts a little longer than hers with Kentin. For awhile they had the kinds of ambitions that worked well together, and they were amazing at keeping busy schedules while still maintaining a warm and devoted relationship. However, once Gemmaās charity work started taking off, she sort of threw herself into the work. Melody began to feel like the relationship was one-sided, and she broke it off. Gemma is the first to admit that itās her fault the relationship ended. They run into each other from time to time, and the interactions are always pleasant! But Gemma canāt help but be a little sad when she sees Melody.
Monty
Monty and Priyaās relationship kind of goes all over the place. After high school, they attend the same university and end up moving in together after a couple years. Itās really amazing for awhile; they cook together in the mornings, and sneak kisses while grocery shopping, and make long trips on the weekends just to get away. But they have very different expectations of the relationship: Priya wants to get married and have a family; Monty isnāt really interested in marriage or children. They clash on this, so it results in a separation. They lose touch with each other for the latter half of their 20s, and donāt reconnect until their mid 30s. Outside of Rosalya, Monty hasnāt been able to maintain a relationship. Itās clear that even years later, she misses Priya, and Priya canāt help but feel the same. At this point, Priya has a wife and children. She and Monty end up picking up where they left off, and Monty spoils Priyaās kids rotten, lmao.
Monty and Rosalya do break up when Monty goes to university. Rosa is scared of the distance, and Monty is afraid that sheās more in love with Rosa than Rosa is with her. Itās a really weird period for them both. They try to keep in touch as friends, but every interaction they have always seemed to be tinged with something else. Just before her graduation, Monty comes back to visit her family, and she and Rosa meet up. Itās very obvious that they still have strong feelings for each other, and they end up back together.
Marco
Alexy is Marcoās high school sweetheart that, despite their relationship eventually ending, Marco will always love. Basically, Alexy becomes that ex-boyfriend that many of Marcoās partners feel uncomfortable around because Marco still has heart eyes. Alexy loves Marco dearly, but their relationship doesnāt work on the romantic level anymore, so they stay friends. Marco goes through a lot of boyfriends because things are weird w/ Alexy, but eventually he finds someone who isnāt bothered or threatened by their close relationship.
