3, 17, 23, 51 gotta have my benny/raiden fix 🩷
3. Do they wear the other’s clothes? (sweatshirt, bandana, necklace, etc.)
This actually is happening in the chap i'm working on now lol! Ben has no clothes other than her prison uniform so the crew pitches in to give her some handmedowns. she gets raiden's pants and socks. So romantic.
In a more emotional sense the hair clip will get traded at one point. teehee
17. Who’s more likely to pull the other in by the waist and kiss them passionately?
raiden 1000%. Themi don't do romance. or over the top displays of affection. or too much touching that doesn't involve some sort of threat of violence. So Ben really has no idea how to initiate things or even how to be comfortable with them. Raiden is very physical tho so it's a process that just starts with him hanging on her all the time
23. Who’s more likely to convince the other to stay in bed come morning?
raiden again! Benny's got that protestant work ethic you can not keep her down. Actually Raiden might be the only one who can get her to rest short of Amara
51. What’s a non verbal way they say I love you?
Both are emotionally constipated I don't think they can say those words for yearsss. But the kind of develop a way of moving together that shows it? Benny is a shield, Raiden is a sniper. She's always in front and he's always slightly behind. Over time they really pick up each other's movements and habits and know how to wordlessly move around each other. They also learn how to check in with each other, not that they will necessarily change their opinion if the other disapproves (bc they are stubborn assholes), but they still like to know where the other stands.
Other things, too. There's a sponge bath given at one point to one who gets injured, Raiden starts getting more comfortably physical around her, they start to undo a lot of their prejudices abt the other. their relationship is almost entirely nonverbal (and honestly, probably going to remain uncemented throughout), so it's a lot of slow buildup like that
