#mate!

PLEASE, PLEASE!!! I WANT SOME ATTENTION FOR MY BF AND MY FRIEND'S!!!!

THERE THEY ARE:

Is any of them prone to throw around compliments like a breeze? How does the other react?

Robin is, and always will be, the easy-going of the two. Compliments are about as casual as they come and he does his best to uplift Marius in ways he know he needs! Marius is rather awkward about it but appreciates it in his own little way. 

Who likes hugs and connection the most?

Once again, Robin. He’s touchy and has no sense of personal space! I mean, he spends a lot of time around cultures which has this type of behavior normalized so to him it’s just a thing that you do. He will be found playing with Marius’ hair in all and every timeline :) Marius has no say on the matter. 

How about endearing or ridiculous nicknames? Is there a story behind them?

I think it’s mostly Robin that has nicknames for Marius, one being Ängel (Angel in Swedish) and Princess. Ängel is obvious, being his last name and I know there’s a story for Princess but my head is so fried right now I can’t remember it?? I’ll remind myself of it one day! 

Do they trust each other with deep secrets and thoughts?

Both yes and no?? In Robin’s case it’s not that he doesn’t trust Marius, it’s more so that he doesn’t like to dwell on anything that is older than 24 hours and thus he ends up sitting on more secrets than he should. Marius is more used to ranting about his problems, but still keep some stuff to himself until he feels ready to open up. They would, of course, trust each other to keep a secret and are each other’s main support through most things. 

Do they share a deep secret together?

No secret that is only between the two of them, other people tend to get involved one way or another. 

Who would win in a roast? How about a prank war?

I mean, I don’t think Robin has it in him to roast people?? He’d rather compliment them, even when it’s fun and games. His pranks would also be kind of weak, but I don’t think Marius would care much for a prank war either. So they’re tied hah. Marius might do better in the roast though! 

How do they show each other support? (Heartbreaks, loss, dreams, achievements, etc.)

They’ve always been pretty steady in this regard! Marius’ was one of the first who heard about Robin’s wishes to travel and has been pushing his career forward ever since, and Robin loves to hear about Marius’ stories or read whatever he can -- even when it’s in German and he understands about 10% of it all. Marius’ never makes a massive deal out of the fact that Robin keeps jumping in and out of relationships and treats each break-up of his with respect, just as much as Robin acts a pillar in Marius’ struggles with his mom. The only time they really get challenged as friends is during the Nikander deal but I’d say they get out of it stronger than ever! 

What would a typical hangout look like? Do they share some common activities?

Well, a typical hangout is usually in a random country handpicked by Robin (and sometimes Pia) with a bunch of equally as random activities planned up to keep them busy throughout the weekend -- with at least one trip to a bar -- or a weekend in Germany. That one tends to be casual, just some catching up -- and a trip to a bar. And they very much share a passion for writing and athletic activities, football at that! 

If they do not already live together, what would their lives as roommates look like? Do they split chores or is one more prone to take control whilst the other slack around?

Oh, I don’t think them living together in the friendship timeline would differ all too much from the shippy one -- besides the fact Robin would have his own bedroom instead of them sharing. The apartment has mostly Marius’ imprint on it, with some throw in of Robin but not enough to properly notice there are two people living in the same space. They try and split chores, but also... Marius obviously do most of the cooking and Robin is more fond of keeping things tidy and clean. Marius also does most of the grocery shopping, because Robin has no idea of what he’s doing and needs to be reintroduced to society at a slow pace. 

Would they ever adopt a pet together? If yes, what kind?

I think this would be more so Robin adopting a pet at random and demanding Marius’ be his co-parent. Probably would be a dog, Robin is very much a dog person.

If either suddenly found themselves caring for a child but lacked the support to properly aid for them, how would the other react, or chose to deal with the situation?

Marius, pls use protection!! Nah, but obviously Marius is the only out of the two that could knock someone up in that sense and honestly, if it ever came down to Marius ending up a parent and needing some aid (saying his aunt and uncle or Pia isn’t around haha) Robin would legit cut off traveling for a while and help Marius out. I mean, we both know Robin loves children anyway and Marius’ shouldn’t be surprised if he ever came home to Robin trying to teach a one year old how to start a fire or how to gut a fish. Baby’s first mountain boots is happening <333 

What’s a memory they both hold dear?
