i think theyd be very fun as a ship! they could easily be a superficial sort of decent — mb stuffy and ignoring each other in public to exaggerated extremes bc theyre being ‘proper’ and ‘discreet’ and ppl think they hate each other

or there could also be a lot of imbalance between them. i think ive mentioned it lots of times but i love gullible richter being conned and run around by partners

maybe a mix or a cycling through of aspects. just whatever is natural works

platonically they kinda go the same way*

alsooooooooooooo

for richters mainverse canon i did have him knowing he can have interest in men particularly for a past time in the enclave where maybe some kind of attraction was building between himself and another enclave officer but it never progressed into something they physically acted upon ( like maybe almost coming to a kiss before they get interrupted and then stuff happens and they get assigned apart etc )

so like i have that role for his canon that i could imagine nate easily fulfilling ( so thats a possibility anddd if we ever did want to mess around with a more developed enclave-time ship thing that could be another verse– i just generally keep richter inexperienced with men by the time of his mainverse so i limit his past ‘canonical’ intimate interactions with them )

but theres also possibility for elements of that to all be around platonically ( *richter being his gullible self or them potentially harmonizing in dutiful ways )

and then gosh ive only talked about enclave era but id think theres room for platonic or intimate interactions later on in fo4 times but ive already written so much!!!!

im basically open to anything or trying different things. it feels like a variety of timelines could work between them ! c:

“❖ My muse accidentally falls asleep against yours.” — @america-redefined symbol situations || accepting

           The heavy thrum of Vertibird blades sounds an odd but comforting lullaby to its exhausted passengers. Richter's head lulls to the rhythm, and with just Lone and himself returning to Raven Rock his posture soon sinks in the quiet—

           Until a weight meets his shoulder and his eyes jolt open. A glance down verifies it is indeed the other officer’s head pressed against him, and he stares to see if Lone will wake before casting a glance in the direction of the cockpit. The pilots couldn’t see as far as he can tell...

           Eyes wide and body frozen, Richter contemplates rousing his companion, but he can only imagine the ensuing awkwardness that would linger for the rest of the flight.

           Better to let him sleep.

           He sits silently, afraid to move lest he wake Lone, mind rolling over the possible lies he might tell in the future: No, I don't remember the flight, sir. I slept through the whole thing! Blacked out entirely.

           Just like that jet incident–

           No, don’t think of that.

           Unable to sleep in actuality, Richter’s under-eyes have gone dark by the time the flight pattern changes and a new dilemma arises: What if Lone still sleeps through the landing, if others see them before he awakens? Frowning, Richter delays until there is no other choice. Finally, with a deep inhale, he gently jostles the other with the arm he rests against and reports in a mumble:

         " We're about to land. "

[grandzealot]

Nathan nods to Richter in respectful acknowledgement in passing in the hallways of Raven Rock. It's basically like flirting.

           Richter returns the nod to his fellow officer, and it’s only after they pass that a small smile sneaks across his lips— Lone isn’t known for grand displays of familiarity. To be on the receiving end of even this voluntary greeting, well...

           The Lieutenant savors that indeed.
