where they first met and how
As Creeper and Proteus, in an illegal gambling hall, Proteus was about to shoot Jack, but as Jack and Rip it was when Rip was hired to be his bodyguard
how long their ‘flirting’ phase was before feelings got involved
Rip got maybe one or two in as jabs but they each quickly got strong feelings but ya know the shame
who fell for who first ( if applicable )
Rip Cord (hahaha wink wink nudge nudge)
where their first date was and what it was like
Crimefighting each other counts as a date right?
who asks who out and how ( with a sign? spelled out on a cake? just a simple ‘will you go out with me’? )
Jack asks Rip out to various spots semi-casually, as friends
who proposes first
Hahahaha man. They still wouldn't get married i feel like Jack has commitment issues
if they keep / kept their relationship secret or let everyone know right away
SECRET SO SECRET THEY DONT EVEN KNOW THEMSELVES
where the proposal happens and how ( kiss cam at a baseball game? on a hillside surrounded by ducks? at a disney park? )
None
if they adopt any pets together
I feel like Rip would be the type to want a cat but nothing comes from it

Rip Cord. They are both semi-dominant and don't like others to dictate what they do, but oohh Proteus
where their first kiss was and what it was like
None

I like to think Jack kept a few things after Rip's death, but nothing matching
how into pda they are
ALLERGIC TO IT
who holds the umbrella when it rains
Rip :) what a kind bodyguard
where their usual ‘date spot’ is ( if applicable )
Gotham alleys
who’s more protective
I guess Jack because he does he does want Rip to get the help he needs and knows there's good in him but @thrakaboom said "GIRL NEITHER OF THEM"
how long it is before they sleep together ( can be as in ‘had sex’ or as in ‘shared a bed’ )
Jack sleeping in Rip's bed after his death counts
if they argue about anything
ALOT they literally don't even know they are fighting each other at night

Rip leaves slight bullet imprints; Jack leaves more bruises. All while crimefighting, of course

Jack from what the police left

Different beds
what their favourite nonsexual activity is
Fighting each other and not even knowing it
how long they stay mad at each other
TILL THEIR GRAVE! Especially Rip
what their usual coffee / tea orders are
Jack is pretentious and orders black coffee with one sugar and Rip is a hibiscus tea
if they ever have any children together
NEVER
if they have any special pet names for each other
Call each other partners and can get away with it because of being coworkers
if they ever split up and / or get back together
Rip would be hesitant if he ever came back, but Jack would try everything he could to try it, even if it fails
what their shared living space is like ( messy? clean? what kind of decor? )
It shows that people live there, while Rip's room especially, is clean to an almost weird amount
what their first christmas / hanukkah / etc as a couple was like
Never got to have it…
what their names are in each other’s phones
Rip has Jack under “Traitor”, Jack has Rip under “Answer quickly"
if they have any ‘couple traditions’ ( buying a new mug for their collection every year? baking every friday evening? )
Jack makes an effort to visit Rip’s grave every anniversary
who falls asleep first and who wakes up first
Jack obviously, and there have been times he has caught Rip watching him sleep, Rip always wakes up first
who’s the big spoon / little spoon
They change
