no one would believe ace if he said he and riddle were dating and it would be so funny. ace would try to tell one person, get told 'no way!' and then decides that seeing how long it takes for someone to figure it out would be the funniest thing ever.
this wont be professional or like character analysis more like headcanons ig.
— they probably accidentally made their relationship a secret to where they didnt directly TELL anyone but they did not NOT tell anyone and people get so shocked when they find out (esp. freshie gang or like heartslabyul students) theyre just like “you didnt know?” “NO???”
— Ace’s preferred way of getting affection is physical touch while riddle likes people helping him with tasks
— They have. Private tea parties in the rose maze. In a gazebo they have a weekly tea party.
— Ace is p open about wants and needs and communication but since Riddle’s childhood was like you know that Riddle usually can’t speak his needs and has to write it down (ace understands perfectly and doesn’t mind it<333)
— Ace fell first riddle fell harder. Ace was aware of his feelings and had this whole “well housewarden would NEVER want to be in a romantic relationship with me like come on” and thats why it took like 2 months for them to actually get together
— artist ace ace draws leb doesnt make the rules ace draws and ace has a sketchbook dedicated to drawing riddle and its hidden under ace’s bed
— Ace gets random ass photos of hedgehogs and foxes sitting next to eachother or smth, shows them to riddle and says “us”
— riddle is a tad more strict on ace when it comes to the rules, but not enough to cause any tension<3
— ace took a floral design class in middle school and has made arrangements for Riddle
— riddle insists on taking care of any small injuries (scrapes, paper cuts, bruises) for Ace even if ace himself doesn’t mind them so much
— Ace got riddle into metal music. Only heartslabgng know about riddles like for metal music
— ace adored riddles long hair after radiant reenactment that ace practically begged riddle for an hour ir so to keep atleast some of the length (it was a no. ace was bummed out)
