gives nose/forehead kisses.
Oh dear. Well, you would assume that neither would be particularly affectionate, but I think Tom would be the more likely of the two. Nose kisses are a bit much for him (There is always the danger of getting snot on yourself) BUT he would not be above giving her a kiss on the forehead. He would view it as a soothing gesture and save it for the few times China became genuinely anxious about his well-being, or if he was in an especially good mood and did it as a spur of the moment thing.
Both get jealous but they express it differently. China is more likey to pretend the person doesn’t bother, but will make sure they just disappear. However, her treatment of the individual is more likely to make her feelings known. Tom will outright dislike them but he is less likely to do anything about it. He is to busy pretending he doesn’t care. He won’t allow his personal feelings towards another affect him (so he say). I suppose this is the long way of say that out of the two he is the most likely to get jealous.
picks the other up from the bar when they’re too drunk to drive.
Neither is ever inclined to get drunk much less go to a bar to do so. Tom thinks that getting drunk is a waste of time, and China would stay at home where the quality booze are.
takes care of on sick days.
Originally, neither was inclined towards illness, but as the number of Toms hocruxes continues to increase this has begun to change. Because of his bodies weakening constitution and the recuperation time required for each horcrux he is more likely to become sick, and then China has to demand that he rest because that kind of weakness will NOT be tolerated.
drags the other person out into the water on beach day.
This is usually China because Tom is in no way fond of water. Even after he learnt how to swim he avoids actually doing so at all costs. This amuses China and she isn’t above pushing him into the water to see his pissed off reaction.
gives unprompted massages.
China, she is enjoys physical touch a lot more. However, Tom hates people touchng him without permission, and even recoiled at peoples touch as a child. Older Tom would still dislike it, but as long as it was only a momentary massage such as a brief one on the shoulders or neck he would tolerate it.
Chauffeur drives and they both sit in the back like the spoiled people they are.
brings the other lunch at work.
China does this with reluctance, because if she didn’t Tom would form the habit of not eating for several days. Originally she just sent servants, but he ignored them. Usually, when she brings food, it’s followed by mutterings of how she isn’t his slave.
has the better parental relationship.
Gee, I don’t know. I mean, Tom only killed all of his relatives (even tho the death of merope wasn’t intentional, but it still applies )
tries to start role-playing in bed.
They don’t have a very active sex life. I’d say they do it about three times every ten year. Both have really low sex drives and the amount of intamacy required would make them a bit uncomfortable, because neither likes to be exposed. Tom is a lot more vanilla than China because he finds the whole process more of a chore than anything. However, China has her own kinks and if he’s in a good enough mood he’d oblige her.
embarrassingly drunk dancer.
Neither would put themselves in such a comprising state. If they got tipsy and were alone I could see them dancing together.
still cries watching titanic.
Neither. Tom made it about halfway through and then walked out in disgust when the main characters started having sex. China continued watching and made mental notes about human sexuality.
firmly believes in couples costumes.
They are fabulous enough without wearing matching outfits.
breaks the expensive gift rule during christmas.
China is more likely, and Tom isn’t the type of person to celebrate Christmas much less buy a gift for another person. He’s the dark lord. If he wants something he takes it, no payment required (business deals excluded).
makes the other eat breakfast.
China, because Tom likes to pretend that his body is as immortal as his soul.
Tom. He will remember every important date, sometimes to the exact hour. This is mostly due to his hyperawareness of the passing of time. China finds this a bit silly, but won’t say anything if he brings it up.
Sometimes China brings up having a prodige in passing, but neither is particularly interested in having kids. Tom has been very adamant about his disdain for younger children, so China has learnt to not bring up the subject. Besides, Snape is a handful as it is.
