💘: who developed a crush on the other first? -- Ooh, good question. I’d say MacCready, because Deacon would immediately squash down any feelings that popped up as soon as they came around. MacCready would deny it of course, but I think he’d be first to get crushed.
💕: who is more likely to make huge declarations of love in front of other people? -- probably also MacCready. There was a great moment in @electricshoebox‘s fic A Line in the Sand where Deacon says something like “I’ve got nothing to lose” and MacCready gets PISSED and shows him exactly what he’s got to lose. (And i cried.)
💛: who believes in soulmates? -- idk, they’re both pretty cynical people. They probably both think they’ve already found and lost their soulmates. IDK how soulmate AUs usually work, (with like can you have more than one soulmate? What happens if you soulmate dies, etc.) so I’m not sure.
❤: who is more affectionate in public? in private? -- I think they’d keep PDA on the DL, because Deacon is paranoid. Once they’re alone though? They can’t keep their hands off of each other.
