1. Who most initiates PDA?

James does, absolutely. That man cannot keep his hands to himself he's constantly grabbing Sten's arm/hand/waist and dragging him around everywhere.

2. Any sleep habits either had to get used to?

James drools. A lot. I doubt Sten was ready for waking up everyday as a wet t-shirt contestant. Also Sten big. James has to sleep on top of him, for survival purposes.

3. Hot and Steamy or Soft and Tender?

SOFT AND TENDER. AND ALSO KIND OF STEAMY.

4. How did they first meet?

sten slapped him with a fish

James just straight up walks into Sten's shop, steals something, and then decided to pay for it instead of threatening Sten with an island-wide boycott because he thought Sten was cute and, dare I say, ballsy to deny him his knick-knacks.

5. What is their love language?

These two cannot communicate clearly if their lives depended on it so they're like bower birds. Acts of service.....gift giving.....physical affection......Very much sending each other pictures "You" and turning the car AC down/up when they know the other's going to use it the next day.

6. When did they realize they loved each other?

Like, after three to five years of dating. In their defense, they only saw each other a grand total of like maybe 7 months during that time.

7. Who is more sentimental?

THAT'S HARD like the obvious choice is James. But honestly, I think it's Sten. He's very much house-husband "I miss my wife" sorta guy. James is too busy committing acts of terror and piracy on the Navy to focus on sentimentality.

8. What’s one way their personalities compliment one another?

James is super outgoing and charismatic so he drags Sten out to the taverns and parties and absorbs him into his circle of friends. Sten's more practical and pessimistic so honestly he keeps James from killing himself and also acting out various plans that will kill him.

9. How are their personalities different?

Have you ever heard of Bo Burnham's Left Brain, Right Brain? That's basically them.

10. What are some non-sexual activities they do together?

Look...........................James absolutely loves trying to teach Sten how to dance. It's his (secondary) life goal to get Sten to do a decent ceili or salsa before he dies. 

J2:

11. Which member is more physically affectionate?

Both! They're a menace to polite society!

Really tho, James is the cuddler and Abel's the idle hands wanderer.

12. Which member is more verbally affectionate?

Again, both, but in different ways. Abel kind of comes off as condescending because he's always shortening James' name to other nicknames/"be a doll" sort of quips, but James loves it. James is more "sweetheart"/"darling"/"dearest" and he really does his best to let Abel know how much he loves him (since his parents never did).

13. Which member steals borrows the other ones clothing?

James. Abel cannot fit in James' clothes for the life of him, but he HAS taken a crop top from time 2 time.

14. Are they an introverted couple or an extroverted one—AKA would they prefer to go out to a party or event together or would they rather stay in?

Oh extroverted absolutely. Naval parties were their FAVORITE they could gather gossip and then wander off and just talk trash about everyone (and GET trashed).

15. Who is more likely to make an impulsive decision and who is the voice of reason?

...........Sten.

But no really, if I HAD to pick one, I would say James was the more impulsive with Abel being more the voice of reason, but Abel is also extremely impulsive too. Unfortunately, he doesn't consider James a voice of reason.

16. Who stays up way too late and who tries to drag them to bed?

Abel. He's a #gamer and James has to physically sit in his lap and fall asleep before Abel decides it's bedtime. Even in canon, while James is an insomniac currently, he wasn't when he and Abel were together. Abel's insomnia was always present and just got worse when they broke up; he needs a warm body to snuggle up against before he can fall asleep.

17. Who fell in love first?

Hang on I need to go rewatch my animatic to remember.

Okay, I'm going to say Abel. James falls quickly, yes, but man if James wasn't the first person Abel actually felt seen by. He was probably head-over-heels for James before he even realized it and made a jerk of himself at first because of it, but like. He really did truly love him. He definitely proposed.

18. What song fits them perfectly?

Oh there could be so many. What era? What point of their relationship? Is Sten included in there?

19. How do they deal with being away from each other for a long time?

All out of Tears Z Berg for James @ Abel a few years after James defects.

Wildflowers Caged Animals for Abel @ James years after that when he sees James successfully out of the game.

Scorpio Autoheart for both of them tbh

Burn Down This City Felix Hagan & the Family

Wolves Selena Gomez and Marshmello

20. Who holds a grudge the longest?

They're both horrible people. Abel tho. Absolutely Abel.

21. Which of the two is quick to speak and which one is quick to listen?
