F  :  FLIRT.  is your muse good at flirting? how do they flirt?

Soldier is horrible at flirting, but his over-the-top confidence almost makes up for it. His idea of romantic is marching up to you and testing your preparedness; he might also straight-up start a fight if he thinks it'll impress you. He tends to be pretty straightforward about his feelings, though he might not always realize why he feels the way he does

He may think he's smooth, but Scout's flirting abilities are a very fickle thing. He either charmingly casual or overthinks things so much he starts tripping over his own feet, there is no in-between. if you're good at acting like you don't notice he's more likely to get his nerves under control, but then he'll overcorrect right into 'thinking he's going to lean on the counter when there's nothing actually there' territory

Pyro's attempts at flirting tend to be very enthusiastic, if a little obtuse. They'll shadow you at first, following you around and just kind of... watching you, and will give you carefully handmade gifts. Their constant presence can be a little ominous, but it's also kind of cute, in a way?

I  :  I LOVE YOU.  does your muse find ‘i love you’ easy or hard to say?

It's extremely hard for Soldier to say it, initially. He's the sort of person that takes his words very seriously, so every confession is genuine, every compliment fully earnest. He'll avoid telling you he loves you, in words at least, until he's absolutely certain about how he feels, because he wants it to mean something

Scout says it accidentally, probably like a week into your relationship. It just slips out, he might not even realize he's said it. Doesn't really think about it, unless you think it's a big deal, and then he'll get worked up about if he said it too soon, or something. It's not a big deal for him really, and he doesn't ultimately have many reservations about telling you how he feels, but i think he's also pretty self-conscious about being seen as too emotional. it does take him by surprise though, when he realizes well into your relationship, how much he means it

Much of being with Pyro is intuited more than said directly, they're not that talkative by nature, so you're definitely going to be the one to say it first. They don't have any sort of hesitation about it, it's just that they think it's so obvious that they love you, and it kind of escapes their attention that they haven't said it. Will surprise you with it when you least expect it, giving you a big hug and murmuring it into your shoulder with such intent it feels like a confession

R  :  ROMANCE.  is your muse a romantic or a cynic?

Soldier is very much a by-the-books romantic. If it's not dripping with his intent, he doesn't consider it enough for you, and resolves to do better. Expect something big and saccharine at all the traditional occasions; although that could mean a new weapon or something gory as much as it does chocolates and roses

Scout is also a bit of a romantic, but he's a little more thoughtful about it. Won't bombard you with something traditional, but will definitely make some heartfelt gesture. It'll be different each time, doing his best to impress you better than before (though he might not exactly remember what he did last time, so there's a good chance it'll tread the same vein)

Unsurprisingly, Pyro is a devoted romantic. They love making gifts and setting up surprises and will jump at any excuse to shower you with affection. Or they'll spring something on you for no reason at all, honestly, they love having something to work on

S  :  SWEETHEART.  did your muse have a childhood sweetheart?

Soldier did not. i'm not certain abt solly's early life, but i don't think he was that close with a lot of other kids, and any attention he might have had was strictly authoritative. He was very much a 'shows affection by biting' kind of kid, y'know?

Scout strikes me as the kind of guy that has a little bit of a crush on just about everyone that's nice to him. he had a crush on the teacher that put in extra time to make sure he understood the lessons and waitresses that don't treat him like a child. The infatuation he had with one of his best friends in high school that was a little too intense to be really platonic was one he held onto for a long while, but when he eventually got over it, he acted it like it never happened, and refuses to talk about it

Pyro's life before joining RED is an enigma that refuses to be unraveled. They went through a lot of things, good and bad. They were a lot more unstable than they are now. If you ask them about it, they'll likely shrug in response, and tell you something completely off-topic.

T  :  TRUE LOVE.  does your muse believe in true love?

Soldier very much does! i think he's kind of obsessed with the idea of soulmates, and knowing he and his partner are perfectly in tune. He'll be taken by surprise if the two of you aren't automatically in agreement over some issue, and might let himself get a little carried away, depending on how bad it is. uncomfortable as it may be to say, i think solly has a lot of potential to be the suffocating kind of clingy, if he lets his anxiety get the better of him

i think Scout is also one of those guys that gets caught up with the need to be constantly on the same page as his partner, but not as bad. he's less reliant on his signif for moral support, and if he and his partner are really split about something it can be upsetting, but it doesn't bring him to a crisis like it might soldier
