my time has risen.  Ray kinda feels ooc in this, I’m so sorrrrrrry; this is my first time writing for X-RAY&VAV.

32. “I think I’m in love with you and I’m terrified.”

Ash and Hilda exchanged glances, arched their eyebrows, and looked back at Ray with curiosity. They both reminded him of that cat from that British book Vav seemed to enjoy.

“Who you talking to,” Hilda asked the logical question, of course. Ray felt his heart drop- who had he been talking to? He stomach burned and he clutched it, biting his lip and trying his best to keep a stare with Hilda. What if they leave before I find the guts to respond, his thought only served to make his stomach hurt worse.

“Oh, I know!” Ash chirped in, grabbing at Hilda’s arm to stop her from pressing the matter, “what if he meant the both of us?” Ray almost fainted. Did he mean both of them; who was he kidding, of course he did. He’d even told Vav days ago how much he found the girls cute and when Vav asked him which girl, he’d almost screamed in frustration. Yeah, he did love them both- wait, how does one work that out-

His thoughts were cut off from a laugh from Hilda. “That’s cute.” Neither of them looked mad, or even confused anymore, and that made Ray want to jump for joy.

“So, you gonna ask us out?” It was Ash who pressed the matter. Ray turned crimson before he nodded and cleared his throat,

“Ah yes, a date. We should do that. One of those date-things.” He stopped when Ash giggled,

“He’s so cute when he’s flustered.” “I know. I’ll plan the date, you two go get ready,” Hilda replied with a smile.

IT’S STILL A NEW SHIP BUT I’LL TRY

usually Hilda’s the middle spoon when they cuddle together but that can change depending on the day

Ash plans the date. Always. 

(Ash-planned dates are the only ones that don’t end in fire)

(literally)

X-Ray remembers special events the best (anniversaries, birthdays, important work-related events)

Ash remembers details the best (who likes what on their pizza, that favourite quote from that one film, which episode to automatically skip when they’re binge re-watching a show/watching reruns) - it’s her job to remember details like that

Hilda is the only one who can sense when something off with the others. 

She knows when X-Ray’s faking his smile or when Ash comes home super stressed but tried to hide it

(Hilda calls them out immediately and then works out the best way to make them feel better)

Hilda developed feeling for X-Ray first (just because they knew each other first) but when Ash came along, Hilda quickly was infactuated

(and proceeded to have a mini freak out until she learnt the word polyamorous) 

X-Ray and Ash were a bit sceptical of entering a relationship together and it started off as just having a mutual girlfriend (which they found easier to handle)

that is until they started to get on much better

(and realised that oh shit! maybe they did like the other person)
