So, I did something:

HEAR ME OUT
These two, is the healthiest, happiest, most unproblematic ship in the ENTIRE show. I will be dying on this hill.
The height difference is headcanon, but cmon, just look at them.
They both take turn being the big spoon, but Shakes like being held more often than not. (Touch starve issues)
Shakes has like, 8 shirts in his closet. Riano had to take a second before offering to buy him any clothes he might prefer. (Yes, he is aware that they're both rich footballer. No, he does not care about the fact. Just let him spoil his husband in peace ohmigosh)
Riano calls Shakes by every pet name with 'My' infront of it.
I.e: My love, My dear, My heart. He absolutely loves the thought of Shakes being his to love and cherish.
Shakes freaks the fuvk out every single time. The only pet names he uses is 'Dude' because he thinks the other is too corny (Riano finds it endearing either way). Also use nicknames variation of Riano's name.
They both lean more toward extroverted, but Riano social battery ran out faster. He's still polite, but he'll just stand in a corner till it's time to go home.
On a rare occasion where they're both drained, Shakes would be the one to ask to go home. Riano would agree almost immediately. (Though, he'll insisted on saying goodbye to everyone to not seem rude. Shakes hates it every time.)
Words are cheap to them. They do stuff for each all the time. Massages, cooking, practice buddy, you name it. Though, Riano would take all the chances he could get to compliment Shakes.
Riano: Ah yes, I would like to thanked my team and coach for this reward, and especially a big thank you to my wonderful, gorgeous, amazing husband whom I love dearly. He's been my biggest supporter. The wind beneath my wing, my everything-
The have to take the mic from him cause he kept talking about Shakes.
Poor Shakes was blushing the entire time.
Shakes is very bad at telling when someone has a crush on him. That someone was Riano.
Worst part? He wasn't being subtle at all. Legit walks up to Shakes and just:
Riano: you know, we'd make a beautiful couple, you and I.
Shakes: Haha, thank you dude!
The moment Shakes realises he's in love with Riano, he had the nerve to ask if Riano likes him too.
El Matador, North Shaw and Cool Joe all were judging him, but kept their opinion (mostly) to themselves.
Shakes does not care about bugs. If they don't bother him, he doesn't bother them. Has a lowkey chill relationship with the spider in his apartment.
Riano cooks for them whenever they're together. Everything he cooks, absolutely SLAPS.
Shakes could cook, but extremely basic things. Like rice, fries chicken if he tries. BUT BUT he absolutely COOKS when it comes to pancakes. He made them alot for Nandi growing up, so he definitely had master it by now.
Speaking of Nandi, Riano spoils her ROTTEN.
He wants to be in her good book and she was ecstatic when she found out she's getting a brother-in-law.
Don't be fool, though. The first time they met and Shakes leave the room, She gave him a HARD shovel talk.
Riano wasn't fazed, and in turn, told her to get rid of him the second he ever mistreated Shakes.
That's the moment that solidified their friendship.
They both doesn't mind PDA. Riano has always been affectionate, even before they were together so Shakes never mind it.
It's actually a miracle how no one suspects them despite them not being good at hiding it at all.
A picture got leak of those two making out at a Super League event and it went viral.
That is literally the only time they ever got caught.
Supa Strikas nearly had a hard attack when they say that picture. Barka fc was exchanging betting money.
Both are definitely laid back when it comes to relationship. They trust each other completely, and have full faith on the other.
That doesn't stop them from feeling slightly jealous when seeing an over eager fan ogling at their man though.
Riano had dated around before, both men and women. He pulled both.
Shakes also pulled both, but his oblivion to people wanting him usually means there's nothing more than short conversation.
That doesn't stop people from trying, though and their attempts annoyed Riano every time.
So sorry for the long post but I loved them so much.
