starlie headcanons??? 😳😳😳
jareth, you don't even KNOW–
i think it should be established that charlie fell first, and meeks fell so so much harder.
steven is slowly losing brain functions like two months after realizing he has a crush, while charlie is chilling (he's been in love for 3 years but he's not gonna do anything about it bc he's convinced steven is out of his league) and ambiguously flirting him (oh, the simple joys of life, confusing your crush about your feelings <3)
not to say that charlie isn't down bad btw, he's just better at coping most of the time
charlie unashamedly favours meeks in everything and he's SO ANNOYING about it
like (i already said this somewhere btw) whenever charlie drives he makes an argument that the driver has the complete authority over the radio, UNLESS it's meeks sitting in the passengers seat, then he lets him pick the music every single time.
charlie is a very hands-on person, and he WILL manhandle the shit out of steven whenever it's convenient to him like the bastard he is
meeks is fine with that btw, he'll just be chatting with sb and charlie comes up behind him, wordlessly grab his arm and move him like a foot to the left and bc he was blocking him, and meeks will barely blink, like "yeah ig that just happened.. anyways!"
also charlie is just about strong enough to lift up steven, and he abuses this ability whenever he can
ADHD!Charlie Dalton x Autism+ADD!Steven Meeks are basically canon to me
meeks absolutely forgets to eat some days, especially during finals and such. charlie can tell whenever that happens, so he'll sneak him food from the kitchen/make him something light just so he doesn't pass out
in a similar sense charlie does not remember he's supposed to drink water, like ever, so meeks has a habit of always having an extra water bottle for him.
their petnames for each other are kinda all over the place
meeks gets easily embarrassed by petnames so he doesn't really use them, while Charlie Extra Dramatic Dalton–
charlie: love, baby, my heart, Stevie (condescending like 50% of the time, the other 50% he's fully genuine)
steven: bastard (affectionate) & Charles (derogatory)
meeks mostly just calls charlie 'my boyfriend <3'
they almost never flirt in english, at least in public,
charlie uses spanish, and meeks mostly hebrew or chinese
also meeks likes to make comments about charlie in latin (bc charlie doesn't really know it besides basics they learned at welton), even in public and cameron has tried to kill him so many times bc 'i don't need to know that, you pervert!'
steven is a chronic people pleaser, charlie is a chronic people annoyer.
charlie proposed on their first real date for the free cake.
he did not tell meeks he was going to do that beforehand.
… meeks said yes anyways.
but i don't actually see them getting married, except maybe for tax benefits after 7 years of dating. and they would frequently forget that they're married
there is absolutely no way they get together normally, first they're in a on-again-off-again situationship for like a year bc they both refuse to admit their feelings
also it's meeks that finally confesses (after ignoring three full confessions from charlie, bc they were either so dramatic he thought charlie was joking, or so casual that he didn't even realize what happened)
