🕊️ & 💌 for the ask game!!

hi barb!!!!!! thanks for the ask!!!!!! hope you have a good evening!!!!! (⌒▽⌒)☆

🕊️ - who's more likely to plan ahead with dates and events together?

i'm going to answer this with gary in mind!! i've been thinking about him quite a bit today... (◕‿◕) i don't talk about gary and vivian as much as i should so i need to fix that Immediately lol

but to answer this question, this is definitely gary... he loves to travel with vivian and show her new places, so he preps for the date a couple of weeks in advance. he checks everything- the predicted weather for that day, the traffic, what the best restaurants are in that area- everything! vivian already loves to explore, so she's always impressed by gary's endeavors! even though he tries to act cool, like he suddenly just happened to stumble upon the venue of a medieval wrestling competition, vivian can see right through him. she thinks its cute how much he cares to plan something so intricate for her, and it really does mean the world to her. so vivian holds off on teasing him about being a romantic. just this once.

💌 - who is more smitten before the relationship begins?

now i'm going to answer this one with an f/o i completely Loathe. eric d.uckman..............Sigh. i haven't talked about him or my oc (diane) that much which i need to do i need to get these stupid freaks out of my head for once.............

when diane and eric first met, they weren't really interested in each other romantically, but they did have a physical attraction for one another. flirting and banter was completely familiar to the two because of this, and it just felt nice to eric that someone actually thought he was attractive too (even if diane wanted to keep their exchanges private for the sake of her reputation). the more he visited diane in secret, the more they bonded and eventually even formed a friendship. this is where, underneath his abrasive, brash, and cocky attitude, diane started to see small glimpses of eric's softer side. and she felt miserable because she knew she was getting attached when she promised herself she wouldn't.

but on the other hand... she didn't hate it completely when eric made an ass of himself just to impress her or make her laugh. now that she thought about it, that was happening a lot more than it did before. in fact, diane noticed that eric felt comfortable enough with her to formally introduce her to his own family, as if they were actually dating! could it be that eric had caught on to her sudden shift in personality, or her shy lingering glances? would it be so strange of her to hold onto the hope that eric might possibly feel the same?

tune in next time for more dumb gay furries (i promise i'll show them off one day i'm just very forgetful and shy) broken heart emoji

anyways that's all byeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!
