who rocks the ferris wheel seat, and who flips out and begs them to stop?
neither. too busy making out.
who is always horny and will have any place, any time?
auggie. he’s always game for a quickie at any given moment. any. given. moment.
“wait, here?” teddy gasps and giggles against his lips as he kisses her.
and so what if they’re the ones having slutty coat room sex at someone else’s wedding. so what.
who is more into taking showers/baths together? who tries to make it relaxing and who gets handsy?
they both are. something about showers and baths together really ticks the intimacy box for them. but believe it or not, teddy is the one to get handsy in the shower/bath.
“so i was thinking,” she starts, shifting her weight in the tub. she swivels around, careful not to slosh too much water around as she straddles his lap
his hands easily find her hips as she eases closer. “so you were thinking...” he echos with a nod.
her left hand rests at the base of his neck, while her right glides down and into the water between them. “i have nowhere to be for the next hour, so maybe,” she takes him in her hand. “we could make it worth our while.”
who likes to walk around the house naked, and who tells the other to go put some clothes on?
neither, really. they usually keep whatever space they’re in comfortably chilly so as to be wrapped up in sweatshirts and cardigans. sweatpants and socks and heavy blankets. cozy.
however, they are huge fans of being naked together. huge. top two on the list, probably.
who sleeps on the couch when they get into a fight?
(but teddy will be nudging him to scoot over not 30 minutes later and crawling onto the couch and under the throw blanket beside him. “what you said really hurt.”
and auggie will just wrap her up in his arms and kiss her head. “i’m sorry. it was uncalled for. i didn’t mean it.” and he’ll kiss her head three more times and tell her how much he adores her and they both sleep on the couch because the idea of sleeping apart sucks to even think about. call them codependent)
who takes photos of the other while they sleep?
teddy tends to take photos of auggie because auggie rarely sleeps. let me clarify. auggie’s a very excitable human, and will stay up and about for most things. because of this, he is always tired and falling asleep at inopportune times, and (teddy’s favorite) adorable ones.
(like the time he fell asleep while trying to stay up for a 24-hour stream and she had to inconspicuously wake him without getting caught on camera.
she did take proper photo evidence and post it on his instagram before he woke up. puppy filter and all)
who said “i love you” first?
teddy. it outright took his breath away.
who ends their arguments in a fight with “because i love you”?
auggie has a lot of anxiety. he’s been working on it, but he’s also made his peace with the fact that a portion of it will remain unresolved, and will be something he just feels and deals with. kinda like white noise. it’s a dead parents thing. whatever.
the point is, it happens less and less when it comes to teddy the longer they’re together, but he goes through deep pockets where he needs reassurance.
because he thinks, no knows teddy graham is the very sun in the sky that the planets revolve around, that she hung the moon and all the stars, and there’s absolutely no possible way on this earth he could ever be good enough for her. that he or something would inevitably fuck this up.
she’s gotten pissed off at him about it only once their entire relationship. but they’d been going through a rough patch with schedules not lining up, and not enough hours in the day to make long distance work, so it’d been a pot of emotions on the verge of boiling over. she’d shouted at him to stop doubting her. that if she hadn’t left yet it’s because she wasn’t planning to. “because i love you!”
he’d felt awful that day. because that’s the last thing he wanted to make her feel. and he’d promised her he’d work on it.
but they don’t tend to argue. their conversations are softer, more compassionate.
“hey,” she grabs his hands “i’m not going anywhere.” pressing kisses to each of his knuckles, she glances up at him. “because i love you, okay?”
they do annoy each other though. quite a bit. sometimes for fun.
who likes to wear the other’s clothes?
teddy loves to wear auggie’s sweatshirts to run errands if it’s something she doesn’t have to get dressed up for. or around the house she’ll grab a shirt or button up. she once wore a flannel of his to record a music special.
they also wear her merch around the house. free clothes and whatnot.
who wakes the other up in the middle of the night to tell them a cool dream they had? who has the most nightmares, and who sings them back to sleep after?
teddy for sure. auggie’s more about letting her sleep, but teddy always wakes him up to share. good dreams, bad ones, crazy ideas, good news, song ideas… her imagination is always going, going, going.
who is more likely to cheat?
on each other? truly? neither. they’d faster cheat on other people for each other. and that sounds cliché and almost fiction, but it isn’t that it’s that they both genuinely like and love each other. cheating doesn’t fit in that box.
who starts a food fight in the kitchen?
probably auggie. though teddy has been known to throw flour.
who initiates duets? and who is the better singer?
teddy. auggie will be humming something to himself and she’ll jump in as off-key as possible.
“you’re the oates to my hall, baby,” teddy says, swinging him with her around the kitchen island. “the garfunkel to my simon.”
“oh, so you’re just gonna full on side-kick me now?”
“i’m down on a daydream!” she sings loudly, and okay, maybe the brunch mimosas had been a little more champagne than orange juice that morning. “but that sleepwalk should be over by now, i know!”
auggie throws his head back laughing and he can’t help but grab her face and just kiss her.
objectively, teddy is the better singer. but, and he will deny this, she thinks auggie sounds beautiful in the shower.
who starts the hand holding? who grabs the other's butt? who slides their arm around their waist? who likes to put their fingers in the belt loops?
the hand holding is somewhat mutual. it kind of happens naturally. they gravitate toward one another to begin with. some… fucking weird energy thing, his sister frannie would say. it was actually visible between them.
the butt touching is totally teddy, and it happens a few dates in when she accidentally has a bit too much wine at dinner. she grabs his ass on the way back to the car. “small but mighty.”
they laughed for a solid ten minutes.
of course, that then meant free reign for him to return the favor. respectfully. but also at will. and gosh was he grateful.
the arm around the waist is auggie, but he’s a very physical person. always pulling her closer, touching her back, anything to feel her right there with him.
who is more seductive when they are drunk? and who is louder in bed?
auggie, who is already kinda handsy and forward when it comes to sex with teddy, gets handsier when he’s been drinking and his voice is like 2 octaves deeper than usual.
but teddy’s a master at seducing him. like she’s read every book on how to turn him into a putty in her hands. he thinks she finds it fun. no, he knows she does. he knows every outfit she keeps for it. hmph.
she might be louder though. for sure.
auggie is wildly protective of teddy. her heart, her world, her happiness. and takes it really personally when that’s threatened in any way. but teddy’s really protective of auggie’s feelings. in a healthy way. but she’s always there to catch him if he falls. she’d also go to war for him. in a heartbeat.
who talks to the other while they are sleeping?
not necessarily while they’re sleeping because if it ever starts, the other tends to wake up. but they do talk a lot. unless they’re wiped from exhaustion.
who drives and who has the window seat?
teddy insists on driving most of the time. she enjoys it, and implies he can’t drive. it’s a lie, of course. he’s the better driver.
who falls asleep in the others lap and who carries them to bed?
auggie tends to be the one to fall asleep in her lap. he’s usually the one falling asleep first if his insomnia’s been acting up.
it’s the most rain new york has gotten all year, she observes from her place where she rests against the corner of the couch. the dreariest darkest afternoon they’ve seen in a while. the apartment is dim despite it being just after 2pm that sunday afternoon.
she’s kind of sleepy and could probably go for a nap. but she’d already thrown off her sleep schedule by letting auggie con her into smoking and staying up to watch all of doom patrol. while fun and great, it turned into distracting hands under throw blankets, which turned into 5am, thus making her want to sleep now but she’d just managed to fix what early quarantine had broken.
they’d need to set a new boundary on this friends with benefits thing.
but then again, who was she kidding? he could say jump and she’d ask how high and never stop. he didn’t know that though. they’d agreed on not going there for the sake of their friendship. that it was just sex. whenever, but still. just sex.
she glances down at him where he’s fast asleep arms wrapped around her midsection, head resting comfortably against her abdomen, lulled by the sound of the rain coming through the open window. and she’s looked at his face a hundred times, but like this, her heart flutters, and she can feel the way she just fully adores him like this.
she can’t help but smile to herself, and sighs. she needs to get over him. and fast. of course, all this weird intimacy they insist on maintaining just because they’ve spent all this time indoors together isn’t going to help that.
she threads her fingers through his hair, lightly scratching at the back of his head. “hey, go to your bed,” she says softly. “you fell asleep.”
“mm.” he doesn’t budge and her smile widens. she lightly tugs at his ear. “ow.”
he grumbles without another word, and if she’s wistful as she watches him go to his room, she’ll deny it.
who cuts the other's hair?
that’s not a risk they’ve been willing to take just yet.
who is super bad at sexting? and who sends them encouraging messages throughout the day?
if auggie’s feeling particularly confident (usually after a few drinks), he can swing it. otherwise, he’s not great at it.
teddy’s usually the one sending encouraging messages though.
(“yeah, you don’t send me any cause you’re always sending them to darby and ravi.”
“that’s true. but i love you more than them.”
“that’s actually debatable.”)
who thinks they are not good enough for the other’s love? and who’s more afraid of losing the other?
read the anxiety question above.
who starts random slow dancing with the other in the kitchen?
teddy definitely. but auggie will every once in a while. slide her around the kitchen at two in the morning by the light of the refrigerator.
auggie kissed teddy first. bit the bullet before he lost his nerve. and then he just never stopped.
who orders take out at two in the morning? and who wakes the other up at three in the morning to go downstairs with them to get a glass of water because it’s too dark?
who writes love songs about the other? do they sing the songs they write for them?
if teddy could write every song in the world about him she absolutely would. but yes, she writes most of the love songs and most of them are about him or to do with him or about dreams they’ve planned together.
there’s a world in which he gives creative input, basically a song writing duo, but he takes no credit. “all the magic is yours anyway, i’m just a sounding board.”
of course, he gets wildly emotional about it, and the way she expresses herself when it comes to him, because again, for the millionth time, he can’t believe her.
who is embarrassed when they have to wear their glasses and who thinks they look super cute?
not necessarily embarrassed, but auggie typically only wears his glasses at home, so until they live together, it’s rare she sees him in them. she does think he looks cute in them.
which is great because he’s blind as a bat.
who likes to nuzzle their head into their partner’s chest?
teddy. at her coziest. if she could live there, she would.
how many and what colours are the blankets they like to snuggle in?
four or five, at least two of which have been knit by teddy herself. the colors are usually on the softer side, neutrals, navy, dusty pinks. and a blanket crosby brought teddy from a trip to thailand years ago they’ve piled into the mix.
who runs up and hugs their partner and who stands arms wide open to catch their partner?
teddy runs. auggie catches her. every time.
eight months. it’d been eight months since he’d seen her outside of a screen. eight months since he’d held her, touched her, kissed her.
eight months without her. all for the sake of democracy or whatever bullshit.
auggie had been starting to doubt how much longer he could do this without her. and the truth of the matter is deep in his bones he knew he’d wait forever, even at freshly eighteen, he just knew he’d wait for this girl forever and a day.
he’s shifting his weight from the balls of his feet to his heels, hands tucked anxiously into his pocket as he waits at the guest area. her flight had landed and she’d sent him a text saying she hadn’t checked a bag and that she’d be out soon, which meant she’d be here soon.
whether it’s the nerves or the excitement, he isn’t sure, but he might throw up.
but he doesn’t have time to process it, because not a second later, a whirlwind of blonde hair, pink lips and a soft blue dress was running toward him.
and just as her carry-on bag smacks the ground, he catches her in his arms, pressing his lips to hers.
“i missed you so much,” she sniffles, lips finding his once more.
would they rather go on a romantic date or a laid back date? explain why.
any date uninterrupted is a dream date for them. and they could make any moment romantic.
he stumbles some, but somehow manages to regain his composure, even if it means he leans on her a little more than intended.
teddy’s arm around his torso squeezes some, knowing that steadying him means steadying both of them. “you’re so drunk,” she mutters, head tilting onto his shoulder.
auggie scoffs, but ends up laughing in the process, the arm he has around her shoulders squeezing her tight. “babe, it’s two in the morning and you’re wearing sunglasses; don’t—” he giggles. “—don’t call me out for being drunk.”
she grins and giggles herself, the cat-eye style of her sunglasses adding to her mirth. “i calls ‘em like i sees ‘em.”
“shh.” she’s on her toes, pressing a kiss to his cheek, and readjusts his sunglasses in the process.
joy dripped off them like warm light. her heels hung off the fingertips of his left hand and over his shoulder, having traded them for his sneakers. he offered, and would probably have to throw out his socks once their night was done, but he truly couldn’t care less. not when he had all of this around him.
“okay, listen.” she took a sip from the bottle of champagne she was holding before holding it out to him.
“i’m listening.” he lets her go to take a drink, the bubbles no longer tingly against his cheeks.
“you know we can’t stay here for 39 more days, right?”
he furrows his brow, unsure of what she means by that, though it’s taking quite a bit to connect most complex thoughts that aren’t about teddy graham at the moment.
“to get married. you have to live in paris for like 40 days in order to get married here.”
“sorry, let’s sit.” he laughs and holds out his elbow for her to take, leading her to an empty bench just up the way. plopping down on the end, he draws her down to his lap. teddy sits sideways and chooses to extend her legs onto the rest of the bench, crossing her feet at her ankles. his shoes look huge in the distance.
“we can’t stay here.” she pushes his glasses up the bridge of his nose. “the world’s not looking good and i kinda don’t wanna get stuck here.”
auggie nods in agreement. “fair point. so what do we do? do we wait?”
she sighs and grabs the bottle from him, taking a sip before setting it down between her thigh and the back of the bench, next to her shoes. “i don’t wanna wait.” she kisses him. “we’ve waited so long for everything,” she groans, her frustration evident.
he gives her the tiniest of smiles and presses a kiss to her temple, lingering for a long beat. he gets it, of course he does.
his eyes widen as he wraps his arm around her. “no.”
“no, she’ll be pissed,” he chuckles. “i already woke her up once to find you, i don’t think i’d survive a second night of interrupting her sleep.”
teddy laughs, full belly laughs, and he can’t help but join her. they might have to lay off the champagne soon, but they can worry about that later. “daily is ordained.” she curls into his chest. “she’s the only way we can leave paris married.”
he leans forward, resting his forehead on her shoulder. “starting my first official day as a member of your family by getting murdered. cool.”
she smiles, dropping a kiss atop his head, hints of his shampoo wafting into her nose. “is that a yes?”
“i gave you my shoes; a real no for you doesn’t exist in my vocabulary.” he gently kicks his socked feet to make a point.
“first of all, you offered and insisted, and second, you should be proud of yourself for saying vocabluary.”
“vocabluary?” he picks his head up, amusement coloring his features.
she’s kissing him then, both hands pressed against his cheeks. “come on, let’s go get married before you start feeling over-dramatic and change your mind on me.” she swings her legs over and stands, holding her hands out to him.
“never, ever, in my life.” he takes her hands and stands.
“oh, sure. like you didn’t just fly across the ocean cause you missed me even though you just saw me. the level of drama is staggering.”
“i didn’t.” he shakes his head and grabs her shoes and the near empty bottle of champagne. “i had business.” he takes a swig before handing her the last of it.
“in paris?” she giggles and sips the rest, tossing the empty bottle in a nearby trash can before he wraps his arm around her so they can start to walk.
“mhm. i had to pick up my wife.” she hip checks him and he grins. “all the more reason for you to know i’m not changing my mind.”
“i know. all your drama is reserved for how much you love me and how you have to make a big deal about that all the time. softy.” she presses a kiss to his hand resting over her shoulder. “doesn’t mean i can’t make fun of you for it.”
“i like a gesture.” he shrugs.
“yes, you do. it’s cute.”
teddy grins, wide and bright, and he squeezes her tight. “you’re cute.”
who still gets butterflies after years of dating?
they both do. there are a lot of reasons for which their relationship has had to take a backseat, so every moment they do get to spend together is cherished. and when it becomes permanent, it feels brand new every day.
who is the one who makes their partner laugh so much that their face hurts?
despite how cool they both come across, they’re both actually spectacularly dorky and goofy and ridiculous. so they’re always laughing about something dumb or silly or an inside joke they remember all the time, especially at very inopportune times.
(”we ran out of a funeral once.”
“aug, don’t remind me, i’m still ashamed.”
“well, it was either that or we had a laughing fit in there.”
“i feel like the dead parents club gives you morbid privileges by association.”)
who accidentally drinks too much caffeine and who has to deal with their partner bouncing off the walls?
auggie already has too much coffee to begin with, but when he has too much caffeine he’s a bouncy ball off concrete walls.
where is a special place they hold close to their hearts? why is it special?
paris. whenever they’ve allowed themselves to think of a place where they want to be together, to dream about where everything would be perfect, it’s paris.
walking along the seine, seeing the eiffel tower, watching the sunset on a rooftop, seeing the art at the louvre
(“being the art at the louvre.”
she proposes before one of her paris shows.
they wake up her sister in the middle of the night to officiate their marriage before they’re back in the states.
there’s just something about paris that’s everything and more to them.
who has awful taste in music?
not awful, but auggie probably likes more questionable music.
“unironically listening to nickelback isn’t a bad thing, you’re all just haters.”
which one of them is the meme lover?
auggie loves a good meme. he loves making memes also. and making memes about teddy as a goof.
how did their second date go?
terrible. they’d wanted each other for so long they didn’t know what to do now that they had each other so they were so nervous they ruined it.
“i didn’t talk all night!”
“well, at least you didn’t spill wine all over your dress.”
“i could never wear it anymore.”)
of course, the apology that followed and the makeup date more than made up for it.
how many children do they want/have?
depends on if they ever stop going at it like bunny rabbits. no, but three. honorable, beautiful mention to their son, lip.
who is the better dancer?
natural dancer? auggie. still a klutz though. teddy is a terrible dancer, but she’s become great at choreography. she also does not care.
do/did they have a theme wedding?
no. they eloped, actually. got married together in secret. they did have a party though after to celebrate with family. no theme though.
what do their parents think of them dating?
teddy’s parents love auggie. they think he’s sweet, and kinda dorky. but he’s as dorky as their sweet girl and they love that about him. they’re especially delicate about being parents to him. not replacing or overstepping, but reminding him he’s their son now, too.
are they a super sappy couple?
severely. nauseating. but in a really endearing way. refreshing almost.
who asked the other to get married?
teddy proposed seconds before she went on stage.
who stays up too late and makes stupid jokes?
auggie stays up too late, and teddy makes stupid jokes.
who knows the most obscure facts?
who makes the other a flower crown?
teddy (and cardigans and blankets and mittens and hats and scarves)
teddy. she reads constantly.
who bothers the other person while the other person reads?
auggie. very adorable. very annoying.
do they have similar taste in movies?
yeah, for the most part. they’re both into classic comedies. auggie does love a superhero/comic book movie though.
how do their personalities complement each other?
teddy is bright and loud and awkward and unapologetically herself. auggie is bright but more reserved unless in good company and definitely second guesses himself more. but they do a great job of catching each other wherever they need, if that makes sense. filling in the blanks, combining all the puzzle pieces, yin to yang.
how do they tell everyone that they are going to be having a kid/adopting a child soon?
the minute they’re in the clear about things being safe. especially after lip. they do get creative with sharing their news, though. and it’s always cute.
who has better fashion sense?
teddy for sure. she can create an entire look from a color. auggie dresses well, but well for him.
who will punch someone out if they are rude to their partner?
what songs do they sing together in the car?
depends on the mood. sometimes oldies, sometimes the radio will just play. sometimes loud with all the windows down.
who likes to prank the other?
auggie came from a house of pranks, so he loves pranking her.
who is the one who loves to take pictures?
teddy likes a random selfie here and there, but auggie likes having his camera out during quiet moments to catch her unaware. not often, because their private moments are sacred. but every once in a while.
how would they react if they found out they were soul mates?
they wouldn’t be surprised. it’d be the missing piece of the puzzle.
depends. sometimes new york. sometimes suburbia. sometimes an estate up in maine. sometimes paris is the way to go. wherever the other one is, really.
what type of dragon would they own, if they could have one?
probably like drogon targaryen. protective, and only trusts them.
what would they dress up as, for halloween?
they have pretty creative costumes, usually comedic ones. wayne’s world. cosmo and wanda. dumb and dumber. juno and paulie bleeker when they were pregnant with rosie and briar cause they both got a kick of it (and cause she actually got to drink a gallon of sunny d… even if she puked it all later while he held her hair back)
there was one year they did nightwing and batgirl for allie’s superhero themed party and he absolutely dragged her out of there early because of the red wig.
can they name each other’s favourite food?
teddy would say auggie’s addiction to chinese takeout is borderline unhealthy.
but probably italian after that summer he became obsessed with learning how to make homemade pasta and pasta sauce.
auggie would say desserts. sweet tooth galore for her.
do they have pet names for one another?
usually ‘ted’ and ‘aug’, but teddy has welcomed ‘baby’ into the mix. cause he’s her baby. he’ll let a ‘baby’ or ‘babe’ out here and there, but he usually just prefers ‘ted.’
teddy is also in the business of coming up with every pun on his name she can think of. snoop auggie aug and augustus gloop might still be her best work.
how do they cheer each other up?
distractions and affection. sometimes food. games. music.
do they show a lot of pda?
they don’t really makeout in public, but they are very physical. hand holding, hugs, back rubs. proximity is a security blanket for them.
how old were they when they got together?
depends on the universe, but anywhere between 15-22, usually with history.
can they do yoga couple’s poses?
no they’re a pair of klutzes. it’s ironic as hell.
such great heights - the postal service
lover - teddy bea~
what does their room look like?
they usually have a big cozy bed, one allowing them room to stretch out and take up space, even though they end up in each other’s space nearly every single night.
their things are intertwined. her clothes with his. his toiletries near hers. there are pictures and art they both love, and the agreement that they wouldn’t have a tv in their room to enjoy each other and rest in there.
relaxing colors. wood tones, soft greens. maybe a few plants. definitely a balcony with a view.
who would be the one to kill zombies while the other keeps them grounded?
auggie currently kills zombies while teddy keeps him grounded.
who makes the other breakfast in bed?
auggie makes breakfast in bed unless he’s slept in.
they’re both a pair of big kids themselves. so it’s pretty even. they adore kids.
do either of them have a crazy ex?
what are their favourite colours?
auggie likes shades of blue and green. teddy likes golden colors and pinks.
they both do. they like to cook together. though teddy is more of a baker, and auggie is more of the savory chef. cooking’s cathartic for both of them, and definitely something they love to do together.
who is the forgetful one?
does either of them know how to fight?
make (lots of) love not war. they’re the softest of humans. soft, soft, soft.
what do they do for valentine's day?
depends. usually any excuse to spend time together is nice. valentine’s day can be any old day for them. flowers though. making a dessert to eat together. maybe a weekend getaway.
auggie’s a fucking potty mouth.
who has the better comebacks?
who would start a fight with another parent at a bake sale?
her brother crosby and his sister fiona.
who is the hopeless romantic?
teddy, but they’re both wildly romantic, almost in equal measure.
do either of them know how to do a handstand?
believe it or not, both of them.
“ollie might’ve disowned me if i didn’t learn.”
do either of them want to go skydiving?
“i mean, i might wanna try. north said it was fun.”
“and your name is not north oeste. it’s auggie hunter, and you’re not jumping out of a frickin plane.”
what do they usually text about?
missing each other. food ideas. teddy’s legs. reminders. whatever crazy idea bixby’s got going on. whatever insane idea allie’s got going on. date plans. i love yous. and teddy’s legs.
is either one confrontational?
not particularly. they talk too much for heavy confrontation so fights are rare. they’re willing to fight for each other though.
what is their favourite cuddle position?
auggie’s love language is physical touch. he likes to touch and be touched, so when it comes to cuddling, if he’s tired or sad or depressed, he’s for sure the one to rest his head in teddy’s lap for her to rub his head or back. but he’s also definitely happy to be the big spoon and wrap her up in his arms so there’s no space between them.
“can i tell you a secret?”
“let me guess, you were already married,” he murmurs, pressing a kiss to where her bangs meet the rest of her hair, both arms wrapping around her shoulders.
“pfft.” she snuggles up into his chest, closing her eyes as she tucks her fingers under his left suspender.
“okay, that’s definitely not a no.” his hand trails over the bare skin of her upper back, pinky lightly gliding over where the fabric of her dress begins.
“you married me two weeks ago, keep up.” auggie hums in agreement. “also, there’s really hot lingerie under my dress right now...”
“but this dress has at least nine hundred and three buttons, and i know we wanted a party, but weddings are really tiring.” her voice is quiet and a little bit whiny.
“and you wanna take a nap,” he finishes.
“as badly as i wanna get into your pants.”
he laughs again, this time squeezing her a little bit tighter than before. “i promise i won’t tell anybody we took a nap on our wedding night if you won’t.” he smiles to himself, closing his own eyes as he drops another kiss atop her head.
who listens to more vulgar music?
pretty even. they’re not picky about that.
do either of them have secrets even the other doesn’t know?
no. they know everything. everything.
who is their go to couple for a double date?
eli and thayer, josie and ollie with daily and naomi, darby and north, or allie and frannie, though he’s still yet to figure out how he can manage to be the only one with the girlfriend in the bunch and still be the odd one out when those two are involved.
do they tip the waiter/waitress on their date?
how do they work out a fight?
sometimes they’ll need space just to let themselves cool off. saves them from saying something they don’t mean.
and then they talk. for hours.
who brings home an illegal pet?
neither of them. maybe teddy.
what side of the bed do each of them sleep on?
auggie on the right and teddy on the left. (or really, auggie closer to the window and teddy closer to the door)
what is their favorite photo of them two together?
it always changes but it’s a tie between them at disney and this random photo of them at an award show backstage.
she’d been wearing a pink cape over her shoulders, and sitting on top of the back of the couch in her green room after she got all her awards. and when he’d sat between her legs, she’d wrapped him up in it like a blanket and kissed his cheek. naomi caught it just in time.
who takes longer in the bathroom?
who has more songs on their ipod?
what movie did they first see together?
what do they like to see each other in?
auggie prefers nothing, or really anything that shows off her legs. he really, really loves her legs. her ass too. all of her really, anyway…
“i like a tux. you look really good in a tux.”
who makes jokes at inappropriate times?
at what age do they discuss the possibility of children?
i think they just know they want kids, and it comes about as a “when we have kids” kind of moment. and neither of them question it because there’s no objection. there’s also the fact that the first time she gets pregnant catches them both by surprise.
what do they love about each other the most?
auggie loves how much teddy loves. her heart is enormous and the amount of love that pours out of her at any given moment takes his breath away. she’s there for all her friends and family no questions asked, and the way she loves him, and the way she takes care of him, he could’ve never imagined he’d ever deserve a love like that.
she’s his loving, perfect little goofball.
teddy loves how much auggie cares about stuff. he’s so excitable and bright eyed and he has every reason to be jaded but just isn’t. not really. not in the ways it counts. he just loves things and people and comes at them with the excitement of the very first day.
and that smile of his. she’ll do anything to see him smile. that… wow. yeah.
who is the one that sees the big picture, while the other focuses on the small details?
teddy sees the big picture always. she’s patient like that. auggie focuses on the details. it’s why he can spiral, and how she can make sure he doesn’t.
what would they write on their partner’s social media for their anniversary?
vlauggie: no idea where you came from or what i did to deserve you, but life with you is pretty amazing. (and then a picture of teddy baking in the kitchen with her back turned)
teddybea: for sure my favorite human. (with a video of him playing a vr game he didn’t know she was recording)
auggie probably. but he’s always connected to something so it’s a habit at this point.
who does stuff on impulse?
also auggie. anxiety. and low patience. he talks about allie, but he’s worse, just less vocal.
(“okay that’s a lie, nobody is like allie. nobody.”)
how do they comfort each other when they are helpless to do anything about the situation?
there’s a lot of holding and cuddling for comfort. sometimes they just sit in silence in front of the fireplace. or they’ll lie on the floor. they like the floor. there’s a lot of thinking done on the floor.
what is an inside joke they have?
if there’s a secret room they’ve likely hooked up in it. not sure if that’s an inside joke but there ya go.
who makes the other smile with almost no effort at all?
teddy just has to breathe and auggie is smiling for the rest of the day.
what is their favourite holiday?
probably christmas because they’re two big kids. and there’s something really wondrous about christmas lights. for all the times they’ve been apart on holidays, christmas has always been the one they’ve had to figure out how to make their own.
they like to lie side by side under the christmas tree and look up at the lights and dream.
who is the one that is calm and collected while the other is angry and destructive?
they’re both pretty calm and collected for the most part. he’s definitely the one to lose his head first, though.
what is their favourite board game to play?
classic? clue. though they go through a chess phase after the queen’s gambit. also life. not technically a board game, but taboo. but their brains are connected, so people hate playing with them.
who has the car ready while the other is robbing the store?
auggie would probably drive the getaway car.
what artist/group did they go to for their first concert?
some tiny indie show deep in brooklyn where they could hide in plain sight.
who is the more social one?
probably teddy. auggie’s fairly social, and nice, but it does take him a second to jump in.
what are their karaoke songs?
auggie does a mean “it’s all coming back to me now” by celine dion, and no, he will not be taking questions after this.
teddy does classic pop queens of course. “stronger” by britney spears is a show.
(though, and this isn’t necessary karaoke, she once got pulled into singing an acoustic version unpretty by tlc with daily and it was probably the most beautiful thing ever)
who would get up on stage and make a fool of themselves just to make the other laugh?
auggie, one thousand percent. happily.
which one tells the other not to stay up all night and which one stays up all night anyway?
teddy always warns auggie not to stay up, but he does anyway, and then he’s dealing with the consequences.
which one tries to make food for the other but burns it all by accident and which one tells them that it’s okay and makes them both cookies?
that kitchen is fucking master chef. next question.
which one spends all day running errands and which one says “you remembered [thing], right?”
auggie probably spends time running around and comes back with his arms full of stuff.
“shit, i meant to text you, i’m sorry. you remembered the ice cream, right?”
(he’s driven back to the store on a few occasions)
if they were about to rob a museum, which one does backflips through lasers and which one is strolling behind with a bag of chips?
auggie is certainly more dramatic so he’d make a huge deal about it, while teddy just strolls in behind him. “you could’ve just pushed this button.”
which one likes to surprise the other with a lot of small random gifts?
teddy brings auggie something from every tour stop he doesn’t make it to. or she’ll replace his streaming headphones every once in a while.
auggie’s more of a gestures guy. he’ll make dinner, show up unannounced (though she’s done this before and he nearly fell over) plan a date in front of the fire or on a roof top, whisk her away on a long drive for an adventure.
which one screams about the spider and which one brings the spider outside?
okay, it was one time and he doesn’t scream about spiders, but he’s a city boy and bugs are just not his wave at all.
which one gives the other their jacket?
auggie. he’s been known to give her the shoes off his feet also. so that tells you everything you need to know.
who keeps getting threatened by the other’s overprotective older sibling?
not threatened but roasted. daily, belly, and honey forever roast auggie within an inch of his life. all with love. it’s the one time he’s grateful for his mess of a bunch for giving him a thicker skin.
olive, on the other hand, threatens his very existence if he ever hurts teddy. but she and teddy are like sisters too.
who’s the first one to admit they have feelings for the other?
teddy, probably. auggie might be too nervous. unless he literally can’t take it anymore and then it just bursts out of him,
how good would they be at parenting?
team effort for sure. auggie’s probably a bit more of a pushover than teddy is, but that’s because he has such a soft spot for teddy that of course he’d be mush at any human who came from her.
and they just adore their kids so much. like heart bursting kind of love.
losing lip is hard, and nearly breaks them, but it makes them appreciate the little moments in between even more. even if that means getting rosie’s little feet in the face in the middle of the night. or briar’s knees in the ribs. or having to squeeze into aurora’s bed to make sure the monsters don’t come out in the middle of the night.
(their daughters don’t seem to make the connection that they have towers for parents until way later in life)
which one types with perfect grammar and which one types using numbers as letters?
they’re both pretty regular with their typing. auggie definitely uses more internet slang though.
who makes the bad puns and who makes a pained smile every time the other makes a pun?
teddy makes terrible puns and laughs at herself while doing it.
who comes home from work to see that the other one bought a puppy?
teddy probably would bring home a puppy or kitten no question.
which one gives the other a piggyback ride when they’re tired?
he’d never been to disney before, and his dad’s miracle campaign stop lining up with her tour ends up being the brightest source of light through the end of the tunnel.
but here he is, sparkly ears, blue, pink, and purple, atop his head, and a ‘my first visit’ pin on his chest, both purchased by her. she’d played tour guide and they’d had the best first day ever.
“‘d you have fun?” she mumbles, arms wrapping tighter around his chest as her lips lightly find the side of his neck.
he nods, rearranging his hands on her thighs and boosting her up so she could rest more comfortably on his back. “yeah, it was amazing.”
“good,” she smiles, resting her chin on his shoulder.
which one competes in some sort of activity and which one does the overzealous cheering?
teddy performing on stage is auggie’s favorite brand of euphoria. she shines up there, but ironically, he can’t cheer for her. he can only smile proudly or else his heart bursts from love.
family game night, however? the full hunter-graham labor day weekend maine extravaganza, when they destroy everyone at charades? yankees winning the world series level cheers.
“they definitely practice when we’re not here,” bixby mutters.
“oh totally,” frannie agrees beside him. “gross.”
auggie on a baseball field is also a sight to see. he doesn’t play much anymore. but he’s zeroes in his focus, and the seamlessness between him and allie is impressive, considering how much they bicker. teddy totally shows up in her cute “watching baseball outfit” jersey, cap, foam finger and all.
which one would give the other a makeover if they asked?
teddy should definitely be the one trusted with fashion because auggie, while not a bad dresser, doesn’t have much variety to his wardrobe.
however, teddy did ask auggie to help touch up her highlights over quarantine and dye some of it pink and he did a pretty decent job for his first time. only missed a few spots
“you can thank me for that,” allie says one day over zoom. “i bullied him into learning how to french braid my hair when we were seven.”
“no, don’t laugh,” auggie says seriously. “she actually did bully me.”
which one owns a pet that the other is absolutely terrified of?
auggie’s fully convinced teddy’s cats want him dead. they haven’t done anything to him, not really, but there’s a look that warns him he won’t make it out of this house alive by the end of it. whatever ‘it’ is...
which one holds the umbrella over both of them when it rains?
auggie. they’re both towers, but he’s still taller than she is, so it just makes sense for him to hold the umbrella and hold her in the process.
if your they went on vacation, where would they go and what would they do? who would take the pictures?
although they’d thrive on a beach, minus the inevitable sunburn.
“but the freckles you get after are cute,” teddy says, and kisses both of his cheeks.
“so,” he says, setting down his eggnog on the lip of the hot tub to tug on her arm. “where were we?” he asks, drawing her onto his lap.”
and in a tiny hostel in amsterdam they end up having to share a tiny bed in because they make a mistake when booking.
“i swear to god if you two start hooking up down there, i’m going to kill you both.”
“allie,” he groans, kicking the bunk above him, “shut the fuck up.”
teddy giggles. “did you have to do all that?” she asks, twining her leg with his again. “we’d just figured out how to get cozy.”
“are you guys just gonna talk all night or let me sleep?” olive grumbles.
“all of you? shut the fuck up,” frannie says finally, and if she could’ve slammed a door, she probably would’ve.
