(Sorry for the wait! I hope this is to your liking)
I’m doing the three stages of the relationship: not friends, friends, and partners.
*When his partner and him first meet it’s like oil and water
*constant arguing, constant teasing (from both parties)
*When Murdoc is super angry he’s not above hitting someone below the belt
*his partner would be hurt and defensive and would do the same back
*this is where the friendship starts
*both parties tear into each other a lot, discovering the other’s weaknesses and past
*at one point in the argument the tension just breaks, leaving two vulnerable people staring at each other
*small, deep talks start after each argument and progressively get longer
*Murdoc is nicer to his future partner and now that the partner is friends with Murdoc, they’re much less harsh
*Eventually a relationship blooms out of the friendship due to the deep connection the pair have
*Murdoc is surprised as hell when his partner starts being super nice to him
*May question a few times who they are and what they’ve done with his partner
*once he realizes that it’s just how they are he’s all for it
*we all know Murdoc loves being the center of attention so when his partner wants physical affection, always tells him sweet things, and often comes home with thoughtful gifts he is all over it (and floored because he seriously believed he would never find anyone especially with his past)
*Constantly treats his partner like they’re the only thing in his life (they are the center of his world so he doesn’t see the problem)
*still likes to tease his partner about their cold and cranky side
*if his partner is more easily flustered in a relationship, be prepared because Murdoc will tease the shit out of them now that he has the upper hand
*no one messes with this grumpy power couple because whoever does will most likely end up dead
*the first time his future partner snaps at his he gets Murdoc flashbacks
*is actually really scared of them at first
*the pairs first actual interaction is when 2-D is hanging out in the common area watching a movie and his future partner joins him because they’re interested in the movie
*still super scared but once he realizes they’re just there for the movie he relaxes
*this begins to happen more and more often
*little comments and trades of words during the movie turn into conversations about the films
*these conversations turn into full on talks
*the pair has officially become friends
*2-D is sure a heck of a lot less scared of his future partner once they become friends
*he does try to stay off their bad side though
*the pair end up doing more together. His future partner starts hanging around when he’s working
*isn’t mad because for some reason they’re really calming to him
*gets sad when they can’t be around
*realizes ‘oops i like them’
*When 2-D finally works up the nerve to ask them out it goes perfectly
*when his partner starts being super affectionate with him he’s worried somethings wrong
*constantly asks them if they’re alright
*once they get through to him that ‘no nothings wrong’ and ‘this is just how they are in a relationship’ 2-D is thrilled
*constantly cuddles his partner
*often have moments in the dead of night or early morning where they just lay in each other’s arms and whisper sweet words to one another
*often have small gift trades where they give the other a gift that reminded one of the other
*will often try to get them to be nicer to strangers and lessen their negative behaviors
*a very happy 2-D comes out of this relationship
*she’s a bit standoffish at first
*sees her future partner hanging with some friends while out one day
*quickly picks up on how much nicer and more comfortable they are with their friends
*makes it her mission to befriend them because she knows none of the guys will
*it’s a pretty rough road to travel but eventually she hits a breakthrough
*the two end up hanging around each other a lot because the other is really the only other sane one in the building
*noodle loves that they’re up for doing things with her all the time
*She isn’t surprised to find she’s fallen for her friend
*their friendship just kinda turns into a relationship when Noodle offhandedly mentions it one day and they say sure
*Noodles not overly affectionate but she’s not gonna turn down the attention
*doesn’t question how sweet they are with her because she saw the difference between stranger and friend so she expected something similar with partner
*will let her partner fight for themselves because she knows they can (unless their attitude is going to get them hurt or land them in jail, then she’s all over them about it)
*he’s the one to completely ignore his future partner at first
*he already has enough sass from Murdoc he sure as heck doesn’t need anymore
*is a bit surprised but dismissive when they start asking about his instruments
*will explain everything to them if they’d like
*starts to find a soft spot for them when they start hanging around
*the friendship doesn’t start, however, until his future partner asks him to teach them to cook
*is actually flustered about it but agrees
*the pair get super close during this time, both physically and emotionally
*Russel ends up looking for them on his days off to hang with them
*always feels a small twinge of disappointment when they can’t but he doesn’t think anything of the feeling
*realizes he might like them more than a friend when they have to leave for a few weeks and he has little to no contact with them
*when they get back he takes no time asking them to be his partner
*he wasn’t gonna let them slip out of his grip
*is very confused when they start acting super sweet and affectionate to him
*he doesn’t say anything about it and comes to accept it
*won’t admit it but he’s actually really flustered with all the affection and sweet things they give him
*enjoys cooking with them even more when they won’t keep their hands off of some part of his body
*enjoys he can be a teddy bear around his partner and they’ll love it
*with Russel being big and intimidating his partner often doesn’t get cranky with strangers because what strangers?
Sorry for the super long wait anon but i hope it was worth it!
