♡💝💚 alfie and jacob
♡: who is the bigger romantic openly? secretly?
i think jacob is honestly on account of the fact that alfie has a hard time functioning as a Real Human Being. not that alfie can’t be romantic either, but his romantic tendencies are more practical. his love language is probably acts of service, so he’s apt to do favors for jacob and try to help him out however he can! even die for jacob if need be! i imagine jacob is more intimate in the sense that he’ll go out of his way to plan a little night where he makes them cheese toasties, and they’d just spend time together without any talk of (alfie’s) work or the fact that they’re a month behind on rent. jacob is the only person that can really comfort alfie and remind him to Breathe. so yea, i don’t imagine either of them doing crazy romantic gestures, but i do think the little things they do are very romantic.
💝: who spends more time (possibly overthinking) what presents to get the other?
i think alfie stresses over it a bit more because he’s a perfectionist and he considers it a high-risk situation because he wants to make jacob happy. he knows they don’t really share the same taste in things and he’d die if he gave jacob something he’d hate or find boring, so alfie will literally make a spreadsheet of possible gift ideas and score them in different ways to calculate the Perfect Gift? jacob probably whips out something sentimental and amazing without a second thought bc he knows alfie very well, which probably stresses alfie out even more….
💚: who tends to get sick more often? who is better at taking care of the other?
alfie because he works too hard and is always stressed, thus his immune system’s always taking a fucking beating. he’ll usually work through a cold or headache or whatever, but like i mentioned before jacob reminds him to Breathe (and Heal). jacob will literally force alfie away from his work, get him into bed and bring him tea or soup and you know, it’s one of the few times where jacob is being the grownup in the situation and he’s damn good at it. whenever jacob gets sick, alfie probably goes overboard with the different megadoses of vitamins he forces down jacob’s throat but trust me, he cares VERY much.
