Yay another mix and match of softness!!!!! (Gotta hunt for an angst menu next hehehe)
Back at Ask bar roots with Ceicive and Wilvous
What made them first notice each other? Was there an immediate ‘click’ or did it take some time for them to look at each other with different eyes?
D'Harva and T'pril
Did they deny their feelings at first, or were they openly drawn to each other?
Kierv and the bartender
Was the attraction something obvious to notice?
Toka (beside Latinum lol)
What's something they will never fail to get excited over?
Bhea
How many pillows do they sleep with?
Looool well I do love angst & whump, but just bc I have more direct ideas for angst doesn't mean I don't like expanding on the sweet romances XD
Back at Ask bar roots with Ceicive and Wilvous: What made them first notice each other? Was there an immediate ‘click’ or did it take some time for them to look at each other with different eyes?:
Agh my sweeties! <3 <3🏳🌈🦎 🐗
So I think Wilvous noticed Ceicive first (he's honestly kind of hard to miss with all that Borg tech </3) when he was called into engineering at an unusual time early on after his arrival on the Omelas and before he'd switched to primarily Sickbay shifts. He was a little intimidated at first, but honestly I don't think it was too much more than he kind of was sometimes by almost anyone new, and anyhow he was sort of handsome in a strange way and polite in a way that seemed almost ridiculously fancy and dismissively rude by Tellarite standards, but with a distinct practicality and authentic sweetness beneath that syrupy polintness that kept him quite intriguing, and made him want to try and talk to him more!
With Ceicive it frankly took him a while to think of Wilvous beyond "skilled Tellarite engineer I see occasionally on unusual scheduling or occasionally in the mess hall who often talks to me." Once his engineering scheduling hours were adjusted to account for his sickbay time and he was seeing Wilvous more he was crushing hard within a week! (Wilvous is shy, but extremely smart and Tellarite arguing norms can make him seem super flirty to Ceicive by Cardassian standards, sparking the small flame to burn brighter).
(Cue their months long very actively trying to flirt beyond what just seems like normal talking vs. really wanting to flirt but trying not to because he knows about Tellarite social standards and doesn't want to be creepy. [thank goodness for Aerelai] XD )
D'Harva and T'pril: Did they deny their feelings at first, or were they openly drawn to each other?:
I don't think either of them really denied it (it wouldn't have been logical or honorable), but I do think they probably took it slow at first, just kind of meeting up to talk about what happened (and to thank one another for their respective help), then studying together (they were both in the Academy at the time), and it progressing to more and more time together and growing more romantically entwined (I don't know how long it took for them to openly say it, but I don't think they ever denied it).
Kierv and the bartender: Was the attraction something obvious to notice?
Ok kind of a little different twist, but since Denobulans canonically produce pheramones in regards to mating, and while I don't think it would have the same effect as it would on another Denobulan, I do think Kirev can detect them (bc I think of Andorians & Aenar having some insectoid traits in their biology that just don't come up in the show), so he could sort of tell almost instantly when her interests for him shifted (she liked him when she met him, but it took more than one time meeting him to be into him more).
I think he maybe felt a little crush quickly, but needed time to figure out what and how and how much he felt (he's Demisexual and had had that past relationship end very badly) but even though her attraction was obvious (and she knew it was pretty obvious and could kinda tell through experience that he was interested) she never pushed him and always kind of kept it clear that it was perfectly fine if he just wanted to sort of keep it unspoken and returning to the bar to just talk.
For a long time they really did just talk, but as time went on they got closer and closer each time the Omelas docks at the repair/ship port where her bar is, and after a while they end up entering a relationship.
Once they're together it's pretty obvious! They only get to see one another periodically (but that's very common in Denobulan relationships) and while they're certainly conscientious of others they're pretty openly flirty and tactile XD
Toka (beside Latinum lol): What's something they will never fail to get excited over?:
So he doesn't like having to do it, but I think when he gets the chance to do it for free for some reason (like through Starfleet credits or comped as a gift or something) he loves getting new stuff like new boots, a piece of furniture, a new desk, etc.!
He can spend hours comparing and contrasting and testing everything to make the perfect choice (it's almost never about aesthetics, moreso functionality and value)
Bhea: How many pillows do they sleep with?:
None if she's sleeping in the floatational mud tub with Muna (though Muna has one actually, it's sort of mesh), one or two if she's sleeping sitting up and curled up into a ball (usually just behind her back or sometimes with a pillow on her knees for her head)
