now YOU tell me about your Raul/Oliver headcanons X3
So this pairing is solely for Saving and a lot of it happens off screen because they’re not in Saving, but:
1. Oliver loves expensive things. He doesn’t see the point of buying cheap wine or cheap food because the quality is inferior which is a sticking point between him and Raul. Raul can never justify spending a lot of money on something really frivolous and expensive. Shoes, however, will last a really long time, so really they’re an investment.
2. Oliver loves to manage things but Raul has no such aspirations. He is just happy to do a job and have someone worry about things like paying wages on time etc. The fact that he gets to work on a cruise ship and use his beyblade in his act is pretty amazing, and his circus skills come in pretty handy when he tends the bar - which is where he initially meets Oliver.
3. Whenever they’re docked, Raul loves to go out exploring and visiting the markets, which is also something Oliver really enjoys so they spend hours navigating little narrow streets, finding quiet cafes, and just soaking up the atmosphere of a new place - oh and they’re avid people watchers. Oliver likes to over exaggerate his aristocracy when talking about the ‘peasants’ which makes Raul laugh and tease him mercilessly.
4. It really pisses Oliver off to think that someone abandoned Raul and Julia and it’s even worse to know he can’t throw money at it and fix it. And that often becomes another point of contention between them but eventually he gets that all Raul really needs in this moment is for someone to just be there and listen and maybe give him a hug. Since money can’t help the situation, he cooks these amazing meals - like comfort food so that he and Raul can just have a quiet night together. He’ll even swallow his distaste and eat in front of the TV like an uncivilised Barbarian.
5. Enrique is so entertained by Oliver’s little crush on his cocktail making magician. Especially because Oliver’s so frazzled and flustered and is trying to get Enrique to squeeze some information out of Julia about whether Raul likes girls or boys or anyone at all. It’s just so frustrating that Raul is so interested and nice to everyone he meets, so Oliver can’t tell if he’s flirting or just being friendly. 6. Raul kisses Oliver first, but he’s slightly tipsy and Oliver’s not sure how to react. Was it just an ‘in the moment’ thing or did it mean more. And Raul is just so normal the next day that Oliver takes a bottle of red wine to his room and sulks. Enrique Skypes him and tells him to ask Julia’s poor darling confused brother out - soon. Julia’s getting pissy and she’s taking it out on Enrique.
