1 through 6 for Ashelia (via dynastincarnate)
Holiday headcanon: Ashe doesn’t take days off, not even on holidays. It’s her lover (husband or boyfriend or whatever you call him) that organize her day off if there are no pressing matters that she needs to address.
Cooking headcanon: Ashe doesn’t mind cooking. She liked it actually. She learned to cook especially after she faked her death after Archadia took over Dalmasca. It wasn’t the only thing she learned back then, but she enjoyed it. It was one of the few activities that helped her to relax.
Sleeping headcanon: She might be the Queen of Dalmasca during the day, but at night, she’s the little spoon.
Driving headcanon: She’s an excellent chocobo rider. (It’s FFXII! What else can she drives aside from airships?)
Bathing/showering headcanon: Her favorite shampoo smells like the wild flowers found in the Ozmone plains.
Hugging headcanon: She’s not one to give hugs and she doesn’t look like she’s comfortable receiving any. That doesn’t stop Penelo to give her a small one every time they meet in private.
Ashe and Balthier
who holds the umbrella when it rains: Balthier (it just happens Ashe is the smallest in those ships so LOGICALLY, the guys hold it to not be bend in two XD)
who is the grumpiest in the morning: Balthier (with messy hair too!)
who worries more when the other is sick/hurt: Balthier, because Ashe would only treat him as a child while he’s sick (because he DOES act like a child when he’s sick) and wouldn’t worry since he would have enough snark to be sarcastic even in that state.
who is always the first to suggest cuddling on the sofa: Ashe
who insists on creating nicknames for the other: Balthier
who drools on the other when they’re asleep: BOTH (but only after a really really long hard day) and Fran would totally take a picture for future blackmail (aka for teasing)
who says ‘I love you’ first: Ashe
Ashe and Vayne
who holds the umbrella when it rains: Vayne
who is the grumpiest in the morning: Ashe
who worries more when the other is sick/hurt: Both of them, but probably Vayne more
who plays pranks on the other: Ashe (only to crack a smile out of him)
who is always the first to suggest cuddling on the sofa: Ashe
who insists on creating nicknames for the other: Neither. I don’t picture them going beyond “darling” or “dearest” and only when they’re alone.
who drools on the other when they’re asleep: ROYALS DON’T DROOL ON PEOPLE! Ashe in a very cute way.
who says ‘I love you’ first: Vayne (and it wasn’t easy!!)
[VAYNE X ASHE]
Send Me A Ship And I’ll Say Who:
leaves their dirty clothes on the floor: Neither. The only reason they would leave clothes on the floor would be to lure the other to the bed.
forgets to run the dish washer: Ashe
pumps gas for the car airship: Ashe (SHE DOESN’T NEED A MAN TO DO THOSE THINGS! SHE’S A GROWN WOMAN! And a queen. :/)
drives when they’re going somewhere: Vayne. Because control.
rearranges the furniture: Vayne. Novelty helps him to not feel bored, even if the furniture is the same.
falls asleep with the TV on: Both. Especially after a long day doing diplomatic things that causes endless headaches.
gets to use the bathroom first: Vayne He’s up before Ashe after all.
decides the temperature for the ac/heater: It’s a never ending battle. Reptile names are used during this internal war.
sets up holiday decorations: Vayne. He likes tradition.
leaves the lights on: Vayne when he is too deep in thought.
uses the bathroom with the door open: Neither. They like their privacy. Even after years of living together. And it can be troublesome with domestics around.
fixes the plumbing (or calls the plumber): Ashe. Because it takes a woman to do a man job. :|
"You're so cute when you're flustered."
There's a cant of his head, long, unrepentantly curly hair sliding over his shoulder. "Forgive me for my boldness, but I prefer yours."
"I'm completely naked under all these clothes."
There's a curl of the man's lips, cheeky. "Is that not what clothes are for? Mere decorations of the marvelous idea of decency?"
"You've a beautiful name, wanna hear me moan it?" [dies of laughter]
His lips quirk and he resists huffing at her, gazing coolly over his book (something to do with war and peace). "In such company? They shall think you reprimanding someone."
It is a rather awful name when you think about it.
