Apologies for the long wait. I fell right asleep after finishing the first one and it took a while to write.

Who cooks normally?: Definitely Marluxia. He isn't perfect, but he has a lot skill and really cares about what he makes. Demyx likes to help though. He gets the ingredients out and hands things to Marluxia as he needs them.

How often do they fight?: Not often actually. They're both rather chill, just in different ways. Marluxia never starts anything unless Demyx is being annoying enough that it actually manages to bother him.

What do they do when they're away from each other?: “What do you usually do when I'm gone?” “Wait for you to get back.” Is the embodiment of Demyx here. When Marluxia is on a mission Demyx just sorta… waits. Others can find him more annoying than usual when he waits since he unintentionally goes out of his way to make the wait more difficult than it should be. Marluxia isn't really bothered when Demyx is gone, since Demyx mostly goes on recon missions so there's not as much danger. He has Larxene to preoccupy his time with anyway. But they both do worry to some degree since there's still a level of danger no matter what.

Nicknames for each other?: Demyx obviously says Marly a lot. He's even said Pinky before, but Marluxia isn't very fond of that one.(Larxene likes to say it too, but in a mocking way specifically because of that.) When he's not really paying attention Demyx has blurted out Laurie before, neither of them knows where that comes from. Marluxia tends to keep nicknames to a minimum, only saying them during special occasions. He calls Demyx “blossom” the most.

Who is more likely to pay for dinner?: Marluxia likes to convince Demyx to do it since he knows it doesn't take much for Demyx to give in and pay. And that way he doesn't have to do it himself.

Who steals the covers at night?: They both do, but Marluxia is more greedy about it. He eventually stops caring though and Demyx ends up with most of it for the rest of the night.

What would they get each other for gifts?: They both actually tend to go with flowers. Demyx can't think of anything creative enough so he goes with the obvious that he knows Marluxia likes. He just picks anything he thinks is cool then gives it to Marly, who proceeds to tell him all about the type of flower it is. Demyx brought him a Dandelion once and while Marluxia corrected him that Dandelions are actually a weed, he still kept it anyway since there was just something about it that made him unable to stop thinking about it.

Who remembers things?: Definitely Marluxia. Especially on missions he remembers far more easily what their objective is and what they have and haven't done. Demyx doesn't always pay attention so he forgets more often than not.

Who cusses more?: Demyx does it much more casually, but Marluxia has a tendency to talk behind people's backs so he throws out quite a few choice words during that. Their word count is around the same so it's not really one more than the other, but some people would think it's Demyx.

What would they do if the other one was hurt?: If Demyx got something small like a paper cut he'd pull out the 'kiss it better’ card. Marluxia will just stare at him until deciding to go along with it and give the injury a little kiss. If Demyx gets badly hurt on a mission then Marluxia goes full protective mode. He takes care of the enemy first then immediately checks on Demyx. If Marluxia gets a small injury then Demyx gets all hovery and keeps asking him if it's okay. Marluxia insists it's not that big of a deal, but appreciates how concerned Demyx is. If Marluxia gets badly hurt on a mission then Demyx will try to get them out of there and somewhere safe so Marluxia's injuries can get taken care of.

Who kissed who first?: The two were on a mission together and got to see the sun rise, which created a really romantic setting. They both wanted to, and Demyx definitely wanted to initiate it, but Marluxia beat him to it. It was just real quick though and Marly was pretty embarrassed after the fact. Especially since Demyx just had to make a big deal about it.

Who made the first move?: They both noticed some kind of connection immediately after getting to know each other so they ended up sorta making a beeline for one another. Marluxia, though, made the first move in a romantic sense. Which was handing a flower to Demyx that Marluxia thought resembled him.
