(unsuccessfully hiding my enormous “aromanticizing every character and ship” sign behind my back) for your contemplation: aro(spec)4aro(spec) kevthea
YESSSSSSS i love this so much
like, they are both so aro and they like each other (sexually, queerplatonic) and they think that is Romantic Love. this is how a romance feels, right? they both feel the same so its not like one is having the "wrong" feelings about it. if they both feel the same, then its how its supposed to feel.
they have their own lives and they care about each other and if they dont talk it doesnt matter bc they are still together and its because their Romantic Love is strong enough to hold, not realizing the amanormative alloromantic doesnot undertands it and thinks they dont love each other, but they do, but its in their own way. a mix of love of competency, sexual desire, competiveness, shared passions and driving forces and a future they want and the understanding of that thing they love that they keep hidden bc the Only Thing That Matters is exy and exy alone so why would they mention it to anyone but they mention it to each other and and and.
and they have a partnership. and the partnership is how they work. it is a well oil machine. it is not romantic. but it is cared for. leadind separated lives, but with the comfort that there is a Person. if they dont talk for months, its fine, because there will always be there. they have a rutine. an understanding of the sacrifices they make. of the career they have (thea supporting kevin not going to the sirens first bc they thought they could offer less money than he is worth just because thea plays for them), caring for the exy bruises with a clinical (safe)(loving in their detached way)(theirs) care, notes they leave eachother around the house, reclaim of the relationship they had to had in their time with the ravens, and they leave it to each other when they dont see each other for days and its not mushy or they dont so really romantic stuff and they dont declare their undying love and people cannot understand how they make it work but that is not how Romantic Relationships work. but it is how their relationship works.
and they will never know that is different than the Romantic Relationship. but thats okay. bc it is Their Relationships and they dont force it to be what other think it should
