1. Avery would be more affectionate, physically he's more handsy.
2. They usually don't cuddle, they sleep with their backs turned away from each other, but Esther big spoon. She likes to burry her face into his back and drape on him like a koala.
3. Esther's possessiveness and Avery being fickle. ( Maybe his misogyny too, but rarely does it come up bc Esther likes being objectified).
4. After noon teatime that lead to playing chess together. Watching documentaries (Esther's choice. Averys not paying attention most of the time, he'd rather watch football.)
5. Avery. His favorite way to carry her would be balanced against his hip.
6. Smile lines. (Esther) lips (avery)
7. They avoid each other like the plague. It was Esther who realized first, and she went on a whole ignoring him phase until he had to corner her for it. Avery avoided her entirely because he thinks its wrong for him to feel this way for her(raging lolicon in denial.)
8. Avery has a bunch of nicknames for Esther, at first it's because he couldn't be bothered to remember her first name, examples are cara, tesoro, stella. (She first thinks these are names from different women, so she keeps insisting to be called Esther. Or ms. Sterling at least.) They settled for amore and tess, but doll is a favorite of hers. Esther isn't the type to use nicknames, but once she's comfortable, she drops the Mr. Lombardi to call him Avery.
9. Esther. She doesn't realize just how much she actually fusses over him. Avery thinks it's endearing but sometimes he can't stand being treated too much like an child.
10. Avery, he's the one who always orders anyways, Esther just has to sit and look pretty.
11. Avery. Esther if his back hurts.
12. Esther, Avery likes to tempt (rage baits) her into kissing him, but he takes control of the pace anyways.
13. Avery, if he doesn't he worries she gets distracted. Also it's just what a gentleman should do.
14. Avery, he likes the look on her face when he basically suffocates her with kissing because she holds her breath whenever they do, it's cute.
15. Esther, she's just used to waking up early, she likes to clean up without him breathing down her back anyways ( so she has a bit of time for herself) but they both wake up early (work/school)
16. Esther. Because she wakes up first, she likes to stare at him for a bit before she has to get up.
17. Esther. Avery wouldn't be able to say it at all, but his actions r pretty loud. The closest thing to him saying it verbally would be, "I'm fond of you." Or "I like your company"
18. Esther, she makes lunch for the both of them, the notes would be something along the lines of what ingredients they're missing in the kitchen so he can resupply them or buy them. Very brief, not entirely cheesy.
19. Avery...(?) But it's more just a formal announcement thing. He's brief and clipped, he likes to recieve the congratulations, and he likes to show off his young wife. But he's still private about it in a way that he'd probably only tell like 2 people.
20. If they comment they go to hell.
21. Avery, he likes to distract her whenever she's doing something for school, or just annoy her in general. Playing jazz music and then randomly taking her hand to start spinning her around while she's in the middle of cleaning. She acts like it pisses her off, but she certainly doesn't mind, these moments make her feel incredibly special.
22. Esther cooks more, but Avery is better at cooking, he rarely cooks tho preferring it if someone else cooks for him.
24. Avery. But there are rare moments where Esther gets her revenge and does the same thing to him.
25. I'm not sure, Esther probably (?) But Avery doesn't give reassurance easily, so she has to force it out of him, even then it's nothing verbal or even concrete. It could be something as simple as holding her hand.
26. Hooked (Addicted you might say) - Eleisha Eagle.
28. Avery calls if he's not around, Esther sleeps in his bed.
29. Avery is a raging lolicon in denial and Esther sucks at trying to groom him into liking her back.
