also, @forsakenflora, if u have anything u wanna add or correct or whatever when it comes to the lovely rose, plz do so however u wish.

----------------------•••••----------------------

big spoon/little spoon:

not always applicable, primarily due to dol’s haphephobia. it takes them long enough to get to sharing a bed and even a while after that to touching while sharing the bed (and i imagine that’s not entirely due to his preferences; rose has some hesitations, too). in the instances where it DOES apply, though, i don’t think there’s much consistency? except maybe if they’re not facing each other, dol’s usually the big spoon and if they ARE facing each other, he’s the little spoon.

favorite non-sexual activity:

like, all of them. but probably cool summer nights spent on rose’s balcony with a couple glasses of wine, a nice breeze, and plenty of conversation and just... very tender displays of affection... like dol absently braiding her hair while they talk or rose doodling on his shoulder with a pen... or just silence as they sit and just... enjoy the quiet and the other’s company.

who uses all the hot water:

i’m gonna say rose, primarily because dol ENJOYS the cold water--especially given the climates he’s used to living in (and, also, his higher base body temperature). he’s always lived in the south and in cities with hotter weather, brutal summers. cold showers or cool baths after a day’s work are more than welcome. at this rate, a hot shower/bath would likely just make him sweat and defeat the purpose, unless it’s the dead of winter.

most trivial thing they fight over:

probably something along the lines of  “where did you put the ___???” “i put them ___, where they belong” “but that’s not where i keep them!!” “you don’t ‘keep’ them anywhere, y’just put ‘em on the counter half the time!”

who does most of the cleaning:

it’s pretty evenly matched most days, but dolcetto likely does most of the “little” cleaning tasks or is the best at cleaning up a thing once he’s done with it. rose seems to get a little flustered from time to time and leave things out/tell herself she’ll get to it later and can’t find time to do so between everything else she has going on. dol likely just kind of follows up behind her on some days and puts things away or cleans up or just overall tidies the apartment so it’s one less thing for her to worry about later in the day.

who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working:

fuck that, dol will fix the heater with his own two hands if he has to.

who steals the blankets:

again, it’s most likely rose if not just because dol’s higher base body temperature makes him more resistant to and tolerant of the cold. elsa, who?

who leaves their stuff around:

most likely rose, due to the previous answer and ALSO dolcetto just... doesn’t... really have “stuff”. as far as belongings go, he has his sword and the clothes he’s wearing. ...not a lot of stuff to leave around. and if he gets anything else, he’d be more likely to resource-guard it than leave it out in the open.

who remembers to buy the milk:

they both do, who picks it up just depends on who’s already out and in the area.

who remembers anniversaries:

they both do and it’s fucking disgusting how adorable it is because they try to surprise the other but they can’t because they both remembered and they keep catching each other red-handed... it’s basically the embodiment of this post: 

anyway. *quickly draws my feelings* i’ll fill this ship tag alone if i have to.

HEY, you ever meet a girl who’s so genuinely kind and sincere and sugar-sweet that you physically can’t function around her sometimes because, --fuck, i gotta go.

(i recognize that pieces of this are unfinished but my back and hand hurts ergo i’m slapping it down because i have one job in this fucking fandom and it’s to make content for rarepairs i care too much about don’t @ me)

and once more, @forsakenflora, if u have anything u wanna add or correct or whatever when it comes to the lovely rose, plz do so however u wish.

who cooks normally?:

they take turns OR they cook together!! it’s something both of them seem to enjoy and take comfort in, and sometimes it’s also just... silly. especially when it comes to baking. rose is good with baking and dol’s better at savory cooking.

how often do they fight?:

i would say actual fights are few and far between? if dol notices himself getting angry/hot-tempered, he’ll most likely remove himself from the situation until he calms down and work it out once he’s at that point. rose i can see bottling it a bit more but given that dol will walk away before he gets Too Mad (which also gives HER a chance to cool down), it’s not common that she gets to a bursting point.

this isn’t to say they agree on everything or don’t ever butt heads on anything, more they both just... aware of themselves and usually know when’s a good time to address the disagreement and when isn’t.

what do they do when they’re away from each other?:

8c wait for the other to get back...

nah, they just go about their business. on dol’s end there definitely is some loneliness felt, and a big part of that is the whole... not doing so great when he’s alone by any definition of the word. 

nicknames for each other?:

crystal we need to talk about this because idk.

dol’s less of a “pet name” person and more of a ... shortening of the actual name/play on the name kind of person. i can see him maybe calling her “ro” instead of “rose”. they might develop nicknames for each other as we write but for the moment, the most i can say is “ro” is probably gonna be an option at some point. 

who is more likely to pay for dinner?:

they’re more likely to make their own dinner than eat out?? but otherwise, they take turns, or it might be situational... like, it’s rose’s birthday, so dol’s buying and she’s gotta deal with it (or vise versa).

what would they get each other for gifts?:

as a general statement, i would say practical/useful things over purely material things. like, dol might notice something around rose’s apartment is busted beyond repair and get her a new one... rose might notice something of dol’s is worn out and get him a new one. 

dol also leaves her flowers to find sometimes because that was definitely a love language he grew up around (augustus always left maddy little things in places she’d find them) and rose seems to appreciate it.

who kissed who first?:

while mutual and agreed on (not a ‘surprise’ or sudden kiss), i’d say rose likely initiated or requested to initiate it. while dol doesn’t treat her like she’s “fragile” when it comes to intimacy due to her past (though he’s very aware), he is usually hesitant to be the initiator because he thinks so little of himself and also because he’s not human so... he never wants that fact to make her (potentially) more uncomfortable than she may already be. and it’s a feeling that always kind of lingers like a shadow even after she’s assured him otherwise. 

who made the first move?:

see above ; more or less same answer

who remembers things?:

they both do; who remembers things “better” depends on context

who started the relationship?:

i’m gonna say rose, again, for previous answer

who cusses more?:

lmfao dolcetto, and no one is surprised

he’s that person who’ll curse around someone he shouldn’t, realized he cursed, and immediately follow it up with “oh my fucking god, i’m so sorry--oh SHIT. goddamnit, my bad”.

meanwhile rose is in the background staring a hole through his head and whispering “stop” under her breath

what would they do if the other one was hurt?:

i feel like both of them would do whatever they could in their power to help the other get back on their feet and support them the whole way?? physical or emotional hurt, it doesn’t matter. will bend over backward to provide whatever the other needs.

dolcetto also comes with the addition of “you want me to kill the person who did this because i will totally kill the person who did this”
