anon:Â Abby/Townsend sfw - 1,3,11,12,13
I was not expecting to do so many of these omg
Townsend, usually, but both are capable.  Theyâve each been living on their own for long enough that they know how to prepare a meal, but Townsend likes to have absolute control over everything he eats.  Heâs the sort of man who cares about presentation, meanwhile Abby would eat green mac ânâ cheese if it tasted good.
2. Whoâs the messiest? The cleanest?
Do I even have to answer this one?
3. Who fixes the vehicle after a breakdown?
Abby, because Townsend doesnât want to get his shirt dirty. Â Abby, because sheâs the one who gets the damn job done. Â Abby, because the underside of the car is more blindspot than not, and thereâs no way in hell Townsendâs getting down there.
4. Living space has a leak! Who fixes it?
Townsend, to make up for the aforementioned car incident. Â âDo you even know how to use a wrench, Townsend?â Â âOf course I do.â Â âOh yeah? Â Because so far you havenât even â â Â âFor love of â give me the bloody wrench.â
5. Who buys the groceries?
Townsend, because his cuisine is art. Â (And also heâs a lil lactose intolerant shh donât tell Abby, sheâll stock the freezer with ice-cream just to spite him).
6. Going out to eat: Who pays? Who orders the most food? And who has dessert?
If you donât think that Abigail Cameron snatches the check before he can and goes on about her ârights as a capable and independent womanâ in the middle of a crowded restaurant, then I donât know what to tell you, friends.
7. Who knows how to swim? Who doesnât?
Both of them are excellent swimmers. Â Triathletes, in fact, and they work out together, constantly pushing one another to be that much faster, that much stronger, that much better than the other one.
8. Is someone multilingual? Do they try to teach another language to the other? How does it go?
I AM SO UNBELIEVABLY HERE FOR SARCASTIC FIGHTS IN LANGUAGES THAT ARE NOT THEIR OWN.  Theyâre lucky to keep a sentence in a single language, much less an entire point, and through it all, their names rise above the rest.  Through it all, the words Abigail and Townsend bind them to reality.
Townsend has too many plants. Â So many â like, so many plants. Â It is concerning. Â
10. Baths or showers? Together or separate? Any bubbles or bubble fights?
Townsend doesnât mess around with such foolishness. Â The point of a shower is to be cleaned, and you canât do that if youâre exposed to someone elseâs filth. Â Of course, his opinion quickly changes once he hears her humming on the other side of the frosted glass.
11. Can they stand silence? Who talks the most? Who talks the least?
Abby talks the most, but when Townsend talks, it means heâs got something to say. Â Itâs a happy sort of balance, Abby listening when she needs to and Townsend listening to everything else. Â Maybe it wouldnât work for everyone, but it works for them.
12. Who stays up late? Who sleeps the most? Does the other have to force them to sleep/wake up?
There are nights when Townsend has a lead â when heâs been sitting at his desk all day, the Earth spinning whether heâs aware of it or not. Â There comes a point when the only light around him is the light of his screen. Â There comes a point when heâs working and heâs just going to keep working, even if it kills him. Â Abby wonders if he ever stopped before she came along. Â Abby wonders if maybe he would one day kill himself with his work if she werenât there to close the laptop and tell him to come to bed.
There are nights when Abby sits at the table, reading a journal that isnât hers. Â There are nights when sheâs far beyond tears and sadness, and now only feels the absence. Â Only feels the guilt. Â She reads by the light of the stove, sometimes with coffee, usually without and Townsend watches the guilt form in the circles under her eyes. Â He wonders if maybe one day it would crush her, that weight named Matthew Morgan. Â She wonders just how many times sheâd reread Mattâs words if he werenât there to shut the journal and tell her to come to bed.
13. Who is the highest maintenance? Does the other mind?
They are both equally high maintenance, but luckily for them, the only people who mind are the people outside of the relationship.
14. Vacation ideas: who decides them? Where would they go, if anywhere?
Buuueeeeennnnoooossss Arrrriiiieeesssss.
