Aromantic Berdly vs a probably ace probably aro-spec/demiromantic Kris vs a very romantically inclined Ralsei who refuses to act on it until it is 100% confirmed to be mutual. This is how my kralsei agenda and my kerdly agenda can both still win who’s with me. Throw in some queerplatonic berdsei too while we’re at it. Honestly probably also kralsusielle what the hell. Susie and Noelle are dating, everyone assumes Kris and Ralsei are dating because they went to the dance together/they are always hanging out/Ralsei very obviously has a crush on Kris and Kris doesn’t really behave like it’s *not* reciprocated but also they haven’t explicitly talked about it so it’s not real and they’re just friends for sure. Kris and Ralsei always somehow inviting Berdly along when it’s just the two of them because they need someone as a buffer or else they’ll have to deal with The Tension so Berdly is lowkey becoming their third when Susie isn’t around bc she’s hanging alone with Noelle. Berdly is amused and fascinated by their behavior but also likes the attention so he plays along. Kris and Berdly bonding and having long deep convos about romance when they’re alone bc Kris is like the only one Berdly has come out to as aro so far bc he didn’t want them “getting the wrong idea” or some shit so now he’s like the safe space they have to not have to worry about that shit. Ralsei and Noelle bonding by talking about having crushes and how they deal with it. Susellesei. Kralsusie. Kralberdsei. Chomping at the air like a feral dog.
