fluff alphabet + mark, bive and party noob
summary - what it says on the tin. using letters from their names for this
misc - hi
Mark
M - Memory. What's their favorite memory together?
Tricky to say. Mark's memory has never been the greatest. It'd probably be some small, casual moment earlier in your relationship, a moment where you cemented yourself in his mind. If he had to give a specific one, it might be the time you'd shown up at his place to hang out when he'd figured the weather had cancelled your plans. He'd been waiting for a call back from you, having tried multiple times over to see what your plans were now that the rain was suddenly pouring. Each time, went to voicemail, leaving him staring out the window just in case. The second he figured you'd entirely given up, you'd knocked right on his front door. You tracked in an awful amount of water, woke up the next day with a partially-gone voice, but it'd all been worth it to see you. Heck, he swears the hallway lights might as well have been haloing you! It'd proven something to him in that moment, that you cared and that you wanted to be around him. It certainly gave him plenty to sigh and swoon about.
A - Attractive. What do they find attractive?
Courage. Above all else, he respects people who know what they are and what they stand for. The ability to get up and keep going on means a lot to him. It inspires a lot of hope and confidence for him. In such a loud, messy world, being able to just focus on what you hold dear and continue on is invaluable.
R - Romance. How romantic are they? What do they do?
He's trying. He doesn't have a lot of experience outside of Wallter and a few short-lived things, a lot of romantic gestures are a little lost on him. He's just not familiar and a lot of it comes off a little silly and ingenuine to him, he doesn't need big shows to be happy with you. That being said, that doesn't mean he doesn't make an effort. Despite his worries, he knows romance is important in a romantic relationship. His own version of getting you flowers is getting you snacks. Drinks, candy, actual food, all of it ends up getting handed over to you. Quickest way to someone's heart is through their stomach after all! Besides, he just likes making sure you're in good condition. It might not be the healthiest things, but sometimes you need just a liiittle something to keep going.
K - Kiss. Are they a good kisser? What was your first kiss like?
Ehhh? He's not bad persay, he definitely puts heart into it, he's just a little brash with it. He's got big emotions, emotions that can only be translated into accidentally slamming your heads together a few times. He does definitely try and be gentler after the first few bruised lips. He's a little unsure of himself, always either a little pulled away or a little too close, but he does try and follow your lead for the most part.
Party Noob
P - Pet names. What pet names do they use?
You can't diss the classics. Very much so a babe/baby user, uses it more than your normal name. It comes naturally to them, it's how they always refer to you in casual conversation. It's the easiest and clearest thing to squeal out whenever you show up to their parties (if you weren't there helping set up). Less common but still important ; sweetie/sweetheart. It's just so cute to them and so are you! It's perfect!
O - On cloud nine. What are they like when they're in love? Is it obvious?
It's not the most obvious, only the most keen eyed and familiar could really identify it beyond Poob just being gigglier and more excitable than normal. Their crushing phase is characterized mostly by an almost teenage-girl-level thrill at all times. If you're not around, they're swinging on their feet and staring off smiling to themself about you. If you are, they're practically vibrating talking to you, hands usually balled up or gesturing wildly. They're about a hair's width away from kicking their feet and skipping around. Most of their feelings are clued on by them suddenly inviting specifically you to parties. Sure, they've always invited you but it's different once they start developing feelings. They go out of their way to make sure you're one of the first people, you almost always get handmade invitations, and the snack bar always seems to lean in your favor. It's what they know best, if they really want to knock your socks off then they've gotta keep trying.
Q - Quirk. Some random ability they have that's beneficial in a relationship.
Poob, despite the intensity of their emotions, is incredibly level-headed. They're very good at sitting down and listening when you talk, no matter if it's positive or negative. Though, it especially helps in those negative conversations. They're able to acknowledge how you feel and that you're right and okay for feeling that way while also trying to pull you into a more neutral-positive direction. Things might be hard, someone might've unintentionally hurt your feelings, but that doesn't mean it's the end of the world. If you're the type to spiral, they're the goat of distracting you from catastrophizing.
B - Beauty. What do they admire about you?
It's criminal to ask them this and not expect them to go on and on. If you really, really forced them to name one specific thing, it would just be how nice you are. They've got a lot going on, they've had a lot going on, having someone at their side at all means a lot to them. The way you're able to start conversations with them (even if you might not be the most confident or the best at small-talk, it's the care and effort to try at all that counts) is what really gets them hooked with you.
Bive
B - Beauty. What do they admire about you?
Your patience. Not many have the care to listen to her and not many does she let listen. If you can stick by her side, prove that you're not around for malicious intent, that's already quite a feat. It shows that you've got integrity, that you're not going to fly or snitch as soon as someone glances at you. It's a little confusing, she's not sure how best to word what exactly grabs her attention with you. Security? Kindness? Whatever it really is, it's always left her seeing you as one of the few allies she has, someone who really is on her level. Having you around, through good and bad phases, leaves her standing a little tallker knowing she has you in her corner.
I - Inspiration. Do you change them at all?
Yes. It's not a night-and-day change, she's never going to be a social butterfly, but she certainly feels a lot more comfortable leaving the house with you. She still staunchly prefers quiet, isolated places, but she's much more willing to go out now. It's the confidence you provide her that let's her risk going out and being seen by the world. She might not say it, her anxieties and paranoia still shake her down going out, but you really have made it so much easier. Even if she really would rather stay in and work, away from prying eyes, she knows that you're only trying to help her. So, she'll grit her teeth and go out to some cafe with you. (Any annoyance instantly fades once you guys sit down somewhere to enjoy it. I think she would be a coffee cake fan.)
V - Value. How important is the relationship to them?
Very important. As soon as you start cementing yourself as someone who can be trusted and can understand where she's coming from, you become a pretty vital figure in her life. Two minds are better than one, so it goes. She doesn't know how she would handle losing you. Likewise, she also can't help but feel obligated to care. With the level of paranoia she's got, she feels like she's put some kind of target on you as well. Obviously on a social level, but on something more vague and intimidating as well.
E - Equal. Are they the more dominant or passive one in the relationship?
Ehhh. Passive. She likes to think she would stick up for you and be a little more direct. She ends up freezing and taking a little too long to compose her thoughts to do so though. Likewise, she's not the best at initiating things. She just doesn't have much experience at all, letting you this close to her is a first in a few regards.
