Four relationship headcanons! — Accepting
@exvalor / @interace sent: 👫 for Wolf!!!
These two are able to hold two conversations at the same time—one entirely aloud/relying on lip-reading, while the other is signed. While it’s an interesting feat, it requires a lot of focus and brain power, so they only generally do it to slide a few comments in about something or someone before naturally going back to only one conversation.
Jay never holds back from saying exactly what he thinks to Wolf, without embellishments or even trying to soften the blow. When it’s about someone else or some event happening, that’s normally cool, but sometimes the comment is to tell Wolf off about something, and there’s never any white gloves. While sometimes it’s taken in good stride, there’s a few times when that caused an actual fight between them.
Wolf knows very well of Jay’s touch aversion, and they both have a quick sign to ask if it’s okay to touch/confirm that it is. The general consensus is that it’s not okay, so asking before has become more or less a thing.
While Jay’s promotion to admin did make it so that they’d see each other less often, with Jay now having his private quarters, their friendship seems a bit less strained. Jay being an introvert, having shared dorms and being constantly in someone’s company, Wolf or other, was draining his energy. While he’s still cranky, it’s like that little bit of forced distance between them is actually allowing him to get more comfortable and gave him more room to breathe, and allows him to better appreciate the moments he gets with Wolf and other acquaintances.
