ANTONINA FOR THE SHIP MEME
SEND ME A SHIP and I’ll tell you:
Who said “I love you” first
Antonio - it slips out in a quiet moment before he realises what he's saying and he promptly turns scarlet and falls over himself until Nina reassures him she feels the same.
Who would have the other’s picture as their phone background
Nina, if only because Antonio doesn't really like modern technology - he opts for the classic photo in the wallet instead.
Who leaves notes written in fog on the bathroom mirror
Nina, mostly, though Antonio will reply if he's in a particularly good mood.
Who buys the other cheesy gifts
Antonio - he knows how she likes knick-knacks and will present her with all manner of little gifts he thinks she might like.
Who initiated the first kiss
Nina, at the end of their first little date; Antonio spends the rest of that day in a sort of daze and keeps smiling to himself when he thinks about it.
Who kisses the other awake in the morning
Antonio, since he'll be going to bed in the mornings, he'll climb in beside Nina and give her lots of little kisses.
Nina; Antonio isn't really ticklish, but I can see her being determined to get him with it anyway.
Who asks who if they can join the other in the shower
Nina, mostly, though after some time, Antonio starts as well.
Who surprises the other in the middle of the day at work with lunch
More Nina just generally surprising Antonio in the middle of the night, since he can neither be up during the day, nor eat food.
Who was nervous and shy on the first date
Antonio, since he's been so emotionally constipated for so long, he suddenly has no idea what to do with himself around this sweet, pretty lady.
Who kills/takes out the spiders
If Nina's afraid of them, Antonio's happy to throw them out. If she's not bothered then spiders are probably left to their own spidery business.
Who loudly proclaims their love when they’re drunk
Antonio; he doesn't drink often so he can't hold his drink too well and he just... he loves her so much. She's so lovely and he really loves her, y'know? It's been so long since he felt this way and she just makes him so, so happy.
