Harlowe

I feel like he'd tense up at first, unsure of what to do. Internally panicking bc this is NOT a normal thing to happen to him. He'd play it cool tho, and probably wrap his arm around MC's shoulders and pull them in closer, maybe adjust them a bit so they're more comfortable while sleeping.

Florence

She'd freak out internally, both out of excitement and pure, "ohmyGOD they're so CUTE!!" vibes. Would be absolutely try to grab a blanket to be romantic and cover MC but would probably fail so miserably that she wakes up MC by accident.

Eden

Something tells me he'd be the one to fall asleep first. Buuuut if he isn't, I think Eden would probably wrap his arm around MC to steady them and then fall asleep, too. Upright cuddling or something. He and MC would both wake up with pain in their backs, though, because the position would not end up being comfortable.

Aena

Aena would freeze at first, but she'd get over the initial shock much faster than Harlowe. Would try to grab a blanket or nearby jacket or something so that MC isn't cold and can be comfy. She'd 1000% tease them about it when they wake up.

Harlowe

I think he'd love old-school movies of all kinds, like Sleepless in Seattle (he would not admit this to anybody except MC), Austin Powers, Dracula, and just about any/every Horror movie!

Florence

She's a Disney movie fanatic, for sure! I think she'd really love all of the old princess movies, but her favorites would be Sleeping Beauty and Mulan. I also think she'd love the Princess Diaries. And of course, any books that she loves that get turned into movies would be her favs by default, even if they aren't all that good!

Eden

Eden is a bit nerdy, so I definitely think he really likes the DCU and MCU a not-so-normal amount! He'd also love practically any movie based on a book series, although Harry Potter and Percy Jackson are at the very top of that particular list.

Aena

Legally Blonde and Mean Girls are her top 2 favorite movies of all time, hands down. I think she'd also love So Undercover, Herby Fully Loaded, and She's The Man - basically any early-2000's female-led popular movie. Of course, The Hunger Games is her favorite movie series of all time.

Micah Richmon - 21. 6'0. He/Him. Afro-Latino. He has a bronze skin tone, dark hair, and honey-brown (amber) eyes. He is in MC’s Social Science’s class. I drew a lot of inspo for him from Miles Morales because I adore the Spiderverse movies. So his personality really aligns with Miles, as do his hobbies. He's very fun loving and intelligent. He also has a natural talent with art and music, and he looks up to Harlowe when it comes to his musical abilities. I'm not sure if I've mentioned it yet, but Harlowe also has a natural prowess for music and would have gone into a field related to music if he hadn't gone for Psychology! So him and Micah will sit and jam and Harlowe will give him pointers. Micah is Asexual.

Delilah Reitveld - 22. 5’10. She/Her. Russian-American. She has a porcelain skin tone, dark brown hair cut into a pixie cut, and dark brown eyes. Her non-Angelic parent was from an immigrant family. She is snarky, abrasive, and keeps to herself. She focuses on goals before relationships, and has a very cutthroat approach to getting what she wants. She is demisexual, so in order for her to want a relationship with MC, they'd have not only befriend her first, they'd also have to really work for it. A straight-forward approach won't work, because she'll shut it down immediately. I always imagine her romantic relationship to be both the enemies to lovers and grumpy-sunshine tropes.

Harlowe

Harlowe would be so ecstatic. He'd give MC a million kisses and probably tear up a little bit. It's something nobody has ever done for him, so I think he'd be super emotional about it. If it's art or writing of some kind, he'd put it somewhere in his bedroom so even when MC isn't there with him, he can wake up to see it and think of them every day. If it's a song or music of some kind, he'd beg them to record it so he can have it always playing on a loop.

Florence

Florence would cry happy tears immediately. She'd love it so much. If it's art, she's putting it in her living room. She'd probably press a kiss to it or just stop to look at it with a big grin on her face every time she walks by. If it's music, she'd beg MC to record it and post it to Soundcloud or YouTube or something so she can show it off to everyone. "My love made this for me, aren't they so talented?"

Eden

If it's art, it's going to become his new phone wallpaper. Even if it's not in picture format, he'd take a photo of it and use that. He'd gush over it and give MC a huge hug and a million kisses. If it's music, he's gonna want to have it as an mp3 file so he can listen to it whenever he wants. But he'd never share it with anyone - MC made this for him, he's not gonna want to share.

Aena

She'd be so enthusiastic and honored. I think she'd do something similar to Eden and make it her phone wallpaper. She'd probably print art on a jacket so she can carry MC's love with her anywhere she goes, or would make it an NFT or something and add it to her signature for her emails, provided that it's SFW. If MC makes her a song, it's getting set as her ringtone. She'd also clip a part of it that she really loves and use that as a notification tone.

Harlowe

He would be incredibly caught off guard. Especially if this happens while he's in the crushing stage. I think butterflies would erupt in his stomach if this happens during that stage. He'd quickly take control, though. One hand would come up to MC's chin, the other on their hip. When MC goes to pull away, he'd draw them back in for one more light peck before leaning back and teasing them for it.

Florence

She'd be confused but would go with it, trusting MC. When they broke apart, she'd ask for an explanation but wouldn't say much more. If she's in the crushing stage, I think she'd be a bit hurt at the explanation (because she wanted it to be real) but would try to get over it.

Eden

This poor man. He'd struggle at first, MC would have to lean back and whisper "Trust me." And then it'd click that hey, MC has a reason for randomly kissing him out of the blue. So he'd ease back into it. If he's in the crushing stage, he'd take control. Would probably pin MC to the wall (if there is one nearby) and play it off after as "I had to make it look real." He'd be blushing hard.

Aena

She'd accept it. Brief confusion before she's taking control and wrapping her arms around MC to pull them closer and make it look real. Even after it's no longer necessary, she'd still have her hands on them. Wouldn't even ask for an explanation, would just ask, "When can we do that again?"

Alistaire

Harlowe would be quite the shit about it, to put it simply. We already know how NSFW coded he is, and while he wouldn't try anything in this situation, he'd definitely be making innuendos and teasing MC. If MC offered to take the floor or told him to take the floor, he'd laugh and pull/push them onto the bed. "Ridiculous. There's plenty of room. And I don't mind a bit of cuddling." - followed immediately by an over-exaggerated wink, meant to calm MC down and make them laugh. (Bonus: MC would wake up with Harlowe's head on their chest or in the crook of their neck.)

Florence would be a total sweetheart about it. If MC suggest one of them sleeps on the floor, she'd tell them no, unless they really wanted to. She'd think it's fun, kind of like a sleep over! If her and MC have a high friendship stat, they'd probably lay awake, staring at the ceiling and just talking about whatever comes to mind.

Eden would immediately shoot down any suggestions of MC sleeping on the floor. He'd sleep on the floor, despite any protests MC might make. Until he's stiff as a board on the floor, only half awake because he can't get comfortable enough to fully fall asleep. And MC gets up to use the bathroom or something and notices and tells him to get on the bed, they can just share. He'd probably try to make a wall out of pillows for MC's sake but the wall would be demolished by the morning, and they'd wake up holding each other.

Aena, similar to Florence, would be a sweetheart about it. But less because it's like a sleepover, and more because she's shared single beds for various different reasons, such as sharing beds with cousins, friends, or one night stands. It really wouldn't be a problem for her. Of course, if it's a problem for MC, she'd work something out. She'd build a pillow wall at MC's request and it would stay up through the night. She can be a restless sleeper, though, so MC may want to watch out.

This is assuming they're given the puppy dog eyes during the crushing phase/when they become official!

Harlowe

He'll try to keep calm externally, but just know that internally, this man is fucking folding. He'd be at a 2.

Florence

She'd be at an 8, mostly because she's usually the one doing the puppy eyes so she's almost entirely immune to the same power being used on her.

Eden

4. He'd be immune at first, but it wouldn't take very long for him to fold. It'd take even less time if MC sidles up to him and hugs him, resting their chin on his chest and looking up at him, if MC is shorter. If they're taller, doing the same thing but cupping his face to hold him in place while they stared into his soul would do the trick. Bonus points if they do the lil forehead touch thing.

Aena

7. She'd be fairly immune, mostly because it's the same look Flora and Fauna use on her for extra treats or belly rubs, but just like with her pups, she'd have her moments where she caves in.
