⚡️ Tell us what your crush or ideal crush would be like. (Nero/Slots/Helios)
(( Slots hasn’t been remade in Wildstar yet--I’m still trying to come up with a backstory for an undead space pirate captain--but I can do Nero and Helios ))
Helios rocked back and forth in his chair, staring off into the distance--beyond blue holoscreens and rapidly filing by characters. “Mrrrrm...”
Nero was nearby, sitting on the ground and leaning against his older brother’s metal desk. The dim blue light above gave him enough to use to see where his multitool went, as he worked on a spybot that had gotten crunched under someone’s foot. A flapping, long fingered hand in his face got his attention in a snort and scoff.
“Soooooo...when’re you gonna settle down?” The goggles over Helios’ eyes mirrored the scrolling numbers and letters on the screen, peering down at an angle to the deadpanning stouter brother.
“You tryin’ to get rid of me already?” Nero was already turning back to his work, brushing Helios off while his face locked up. Don’t want to talk about this, Helios.
Helios, sadly, never seemed to get social cues colored in ‘fuck off’. “Noooo, but...one can’t help noticing you don’t seem to be even TRYING to find anyone--”
“--and as your older brother, m’guessin’ I should probably be tryin’ to bring you under my wing, help you--I dunno, work off the constant irritability you seem to be sufferin’ from--”
The noodle at the computer stuffed his head closer to his shoulders in a sheepish cringe, grinning not so sheepishly with his hands up while Nero scowled from below. His younger brother was bright red in the face; he couldn’t help teasing him! He had been fun to tease since the day he was born. “Alright, alright!” Brief pause. “What’s even your type? Maybe I can look out for somebody around the city--”
“Don’t.” Nero exhaled, bright red eyes back on the barely held-together bundle. He went back to piecing the broken bot together with new fervor, muttering an added retort, “There’s not a type. Forget it and worry about yerself.”
(( A bit of writing that was an attempt to make the two chuckleheads answer this at the same time but ended up being ‘well Nero is a hard walnut to crack but I’m too attached to this to not post it SO’. Nero likes people who have good intentions, strong in spirit, and make him laugh and/or very kindhearted. Helios likes someone who challenges him and lets him have a good time, but he’s also fiercely protective and wants to care for something and spoil it.
Physically, Nero has nothing that makes him aesthetically or sexually drawn to anyone, but muscular men and women make him get embarrassed and shy, and ‘smols’ (smaller noodles who can’t defend themselves as well as him) always get him, like a worm on a hook. Helios’ taste are wide and vast, but he loves things about a person’s look that makes them stand out. Like scars, skin issues, stretchmarks, or FRECKLES. Anything he can kiss and grin at them about to make them love that part of themselves too. ))
