#crutchbert

javey - yes, they're around late 20s, really wholesome and sweet, spot officiates and then they adopt and are such girl dads

sprace - yes, immediately out of high school / during early college since race doesn't want his dads name on his phd so he takes conlon and spot doesn't mind sticking with his own since it was his moms name

crutchbert - yes, they have like 2 kids and are such a middle-age married couple

spromeo - no, with the asterisk of that they could, but they both have trauma from past relationships of being stuck/"tied down" so just dating is good enough for them since they know their partner loves them

newsbians - yes, they're freshly 23 and out of college, they do a traditional wedding, the full nine yards and they both look like princesses

ralbert - no, like spromeo, they know their partner loves them and that's enough. they do elope when they're older (like mid 30s) but for now it's enough

blush - no but then one day when they're like 25 mush sits up suddenly and is like "i just realized, we're not married even tho we've been dating for like 12 years, we should do that" and blink says "oh yeah i forgot about that. we should. we're kinda overdue anyway" and then they do! and they're really sweet

jackcrutchie - yes, like newsbians they go the traditional route and are superrr cute and fluffy

redfinch - yes but they elope and don't tell anyone until like 2 years after just to see if anyone noticed (no one except for katherine did)

Charcter 1: Albert is a tough newsie with a soft heart. He means well, but sometimes he goes too far with his jokes.

Character 2: Crutchie is an experienced and optimistic newsie. Although he is usually a kind person, he’s not someone you want to cross- unless you like being made a fool of.

All About It:

Crutchie and Albert are very touchy- feely with each other. They often stand together and put their arms around each other. Albert even carries Crutchie bridal style at one point. (Gifset)

Crutchie trusts Albert. Crutchie states that he “don’t want anyone should see (he) ain’t been walkin’ so good”, (Newsies Live script page 1) but when Morris attacks him he lets Albert help him up and support his weight. The script states that Albert acts “immediately”, showing that they probably have talked about this, and Albert knows that he’s the . designated helper. (Newsies Live script page 9)

Albert doesn’t like Crutchie as much as he likes Race. Despite otherwise being good friends with Crutchie, Albert agrees with Race that he only sells well because people pity him. (Newsies Live script page 6) 

Will it Ship?

YES! Albert and Crutchie spend a lot of time together, and seem to be close already. It’s not a stretch that they could end up together. Besides, see how Albert is looking at Crutchie in the 6th gif? (Gifset)
