Send me a ship and I’ll tell you…

who hogs the duvet: STACI.

who texts/rings to check how their day is going: Even before the Reaping, they both did this. The only difference post-Reaping is that there are more texts/calls in a shorter period of time; neither of them likes to let the other out of their sight for very long. Nothing will ever separate them again.

who’s the most creative when it comes to gifts: Staci. He knows Sasha’s tastes like the back of his hand, and he always has a surefire way to make her smile with something she’s never seen before.

who gets up first in the morning: This varies. Pre-Reaping, it was usually Sasha. After everything they’ve been through, though, it really just comes down to whose nightmare wakes them up first.

who suggests new things in bed: Oh, they both do. They suuuuure do. I have a lot of very not-safe-for-tumblr thoughts about their love life ;D

who cries at movies: Sasha, my soft little bunny.

who gives unprompted massages: Staci does, and oof, they are good. They also usually lead to sex.

who fusses over the other when they’re sick: Both, no question.

who gets jealous easiest: Staci, but he’s got enough sense of self to see his jealousy for what it is and stop himself before he ends up fighting with Sasha.

who has the most embarrassing taste in music: Hmm… I guess Sasha, because she likes those “indie covers” that sound like the “waelcome to mayyy keetchehn” vine. 

who collects something unusual: I can’t think of anything unusual either of them would collect, actually!

who takes the longest to get ready: Sasha, but only if she has to do something with her hair. Usually she just runs her fingers through it and can be out the door in minutes.

who is the most tidy and organised: Pre-Reaping, it’s Sasha. But after being freed from Jacob, Staci needs to have everything in a specific place. Sasha is happy to oblige him, but she also knows when to talk him down and get him to let go.

who gets most excited about the holidays: Sasha! She celebrates Hanukah and he celebrates Christmas, and together they combine their family traditions and have one long holiday season of joy and love.

who is the big spoon/little spoon: Staci can’t help but be the big spoon, since he’s 6′1 and she’s 4′9, but sometimes she curls up behind him like a tiny little backpack.

who gets most competitive when playing games and/or sports: They’re both super competitive, tbh. Especially when they were younger.

who starts the most arguments: They don’t really argue enough for this to be applicable! They know how to communicate with each other very well.

who suggests that they buy a pet: Well… Sasha, but she doesn’t suggest that they buy a pet… she asks if she can keep Peaches as a housecat of sorts. Staci says yes.

what couple traditions they have: Instead of holding hands, they hold fingers. Staci curls his index and middle fingers around Sasha’s index and middle fingers, like chain links. It started in their friends-with-benefits phase, when they didn’t want to show a lot of affection, but they knew they had strong feelings for each other. Eventually, it became symbolic of their unique bond.

what tv shows they watch together: Not many. Sasha isn’t big on tv… and Staci prefers to watch her anyway. “You’re moving art, mami.”

what other couple they hang out with: Kim and Nick Rye, my girl Chloe and Eli, and, after a very long time, even Jacob and my gal Marilyn when Alex Pratt ends up falling for Catherine Seed.

how they spend time together as a couple: Lots of snuggling, chatting, little trips like to the park or on a picnic. 

who made the first move: Hmm. When they started their friends-with-benefits deal, it was Sasha who made the first move. Later, after being saved from Jacob’s bunker, Staci made the move that would ultimately signify the change in their relationship from platonic to romantic.

who brings flowers home: They both do! Sasha picks flowers and Staci buys them.

the first time buck calls bobby “pops”, his heart stops bc like??? oops??? way to practically flaunt ur major daddy issues, buck. but surprisingly, bobby doesnt think much of it (and neither does anyone else honestly), acts like its a totally normal thing and like….. if bobbys ok w it, then maybe theres no harm in calling him pops more often

remember that one time bobby tied bucks tie for him? buck decides he wants to know how to do it himself. bobbys hesitant to teach him how to tie his own tie cause that means One Less Thing he can help him w, but like….. how can he say no when bucks looking at him with that damned puppy dog expression

bobby! calling! buck! son!

the first time bobby calls him son, he starts crying a lil bit cause like. yeah, his parents called him son growing up, but theres smth abt the way that bobby says it that makes buck feel really….. good inside. like, the word “son” in relation to him never used to make him feel really nice, but as soon as bobby says it, he never wants to Stop being called son

everyone teases them abt the whole “pops” and “son” thing at first, but the more it happens, the cuter it gets

bobby constantly gives buck shit for being an idiot and everyone kinda assumes that he does it cause buck Deserves to be called out on his being a goddamn fool most of the time, but secretly he does it bc he loves buck and wants to see him Thriving

the first time they hug, its at the end of a shift that was particularly rough on buck. bobby stops him before he leaves, asks him if hes ok, and when he says no, bobby just wordlessly pulls buck in for a hug (buck totally didnt cry into his shoulder, what are you talking about)

the first time bobby tells buck that hes proud of him, buck can hardly keep himself from crying on the spot. buck confesses that he was never really told “im proud of you” growing up, so bobby decides to tell him how proud he is of him at least once a week

them! saying! that! they! love! each! other!!!! buck gets kinda shy abt saying it sometimes but thats ok bc he shows his love in other ways

someone saw them out at lunch together one time and when they overheard someone gushing about the “sweet father-son outing”, they both teared up a little

and that they’re always pushing for him ‘to do better, to be better’, though in reality no matter what he does or how much he improves himself, no matter what grades he gets or so on, he’s never going to be ‘good enough’ for them and it probably took him a long time for him to realise that (and it definitely being something that he still struggles with now even though he knows this) and I think maybe they often compared him a lot to Maddie though he never resents her/holds that against her (2/2)
