⇲ ALL THE LITTLE THINGS MEME ▪
Mango and peaches are definitely his favorite, but he likes most kinds of fruit just fine.
☕ - Tea or Coffee? How do they take theirs?
Coffee, all the way, and he’s a bit picky about it. He prefers it black when he’s working, but will sweetened it up just a little with sugar or flavored creamers on a lazy morning.
🏠 - What does their living space look like?
Gabriel used to have an apartment in L.A. for when he was off-duty. The core of his layout was fairly neat, nice modern furniture, dark but not dreary, and some scattered pieces of more colorful art that had been gifts from his mother to make it more ‘bright and home-y’. Now, the ‘core’ is neat; he’s something of a stickler for cleanliness and keeping things orderly, but especially so when he’s in base. At home, off-duty, there are more discarded clothes scattered here and there, pillows and magazines strewn about, etc. - nothing horrifically untidy, but much more relaxed.
Reaper on the other hand is awful and seems to have no awareness of the state of his quarters usually - it’s just a place he crashes at anyway.
👶 - As a kid, what were they like?
Gabriel was actually super outgoing and energetic in his youth, always running around with other neighborhood kids - often ending up as a ‘leader’ of sorts, pulling them along on adventures and finding new games to play. He had fairly high empathy from an early age, sensitive to the changes in other peoples moods and demeanor, making him kind-hearted, but sometimes becoming the target of childish bullying and manipulation in school. Often he would try to act tougher, or hide his hurt feelings. As he grew older he became more withdrawn and solitary, though he kept several close friends. He got into some trouble around high school, but after graduation opted for a career in the military that proved to be for the best.
🔋 - What makes them feel better after a long day?
A nice view, if it’s available. It can be a clear horizon or a city skyline, just something to look out over and empty his thoughts before bed. If it’s after a mission (which it usually is), making sure the reports are filed and everything taken care of helps too, gives a sense of finality (usually), though depending on the work, it can also make things worse to the point he puts it off until morning, opting instead to lose himself in some shitty t.v. shows to turn his mind off. Reaper is more likely to just sleep.
