u said u wanted this so don’t blame me bich :(((((((
who talks the other into skipping class?
hope. she knows her days are numbered, and so, it’s vital to get as much alone time as humanly possible, balancing the fine line of getting him to skip but not tell him how sick she really is.
who complains about their teacher’s handwriting?
alistair. let’s be real, he doesn’t have the time (or the patience) to spend half an hour trying to decipher something you clearly need some sort of handwriting rosetta stone to unearth, and hope would cross out the feedback with a permanent marker, telling him not to stress himself out so much (he’d still stress about it).
who rambles? and who kisses them to shut them up?
hope rambles. she’d talk, and talk, and then talk some more - and alistair would only intervene when she’s made the switch from speaking english to speaking full-on spanish.
who drags the other to A Little Disorganised’s new gig?
hope would want to go, and depending on how she’s feeling that day, they might stay for like an hour before she’s too exhausted, or they might not go at all. either way, they’ve never made it all the way through a gig.
who fan girls over the royals? and who thinks they’re all stuck up?
neither. hope would be more enthralled by the idea of royalty rather than the actual royals - the dresses, the tiaras, fancy dinners attended by hundreds of different people.
who suggests sleeping in the same bed first?
hope. but not through verbal communication (because why make life easy for yourself????) - she’d pretend to fall asleep in his bed so he’d have to let her spend the night, and when that results in him sleeping in the guest room, she ups her antics by pretending to fall asleep with her head on his chest, so that he’d be unable to move without ‘waking her up’.
who hates the other’s roommate?
alistair. does this even need an explanation? there’s always going to be something wrong with them - they’re too messy, they’re too loud, they eat with the fork facing the wrong way. you name it.
who tries to start a fight with dethroned? and who tells them off?
neither. but hope would definitely care a lot more about what is posted on the blog. so much so that eventually, alistair blacklists the page on their network.
when someone is flirting with their SO, who punches the flirter in the face? and who interrupts the flirter so they can make out?
don’t think either of them are the type for physical confrontation, but there would definitely be some snide remarks™️.
who drags them off for fun in empty classrooms?
i still cannot get over the fact that they haven’t slept together, but they haven’t, so i guess i’m going to have to go with neither?? hope will definitely drag him around to ‘explore’ campus at some point (he hates it, but it’s clear how excited it makes her, so why spoil the fun for her?).
who steals the other’s clothes?
when alistair is gone for longer periods of time ( for work or school or any combination of the two), hope sleeps one of his button-ups.
who smuggles a stray animal onto campus? and who tries to convince them to Put That Thing Back Where It Came From™️?
vicious cycle. hope finds a stray dog/cat/whatever, brings it home, alistair complains about it because he knows exactly what’s going to happen next - and not twenty-four hours later, there it is: a sneeze. she’s allergic (not surprising when you’ve been sheltered from anything and everything that isn’t sterilized). they end up having to take the poor thing to a shelter, and all is well for a couple of months. until the same thing happens again ( god, again? you never know, i might not be allergic to rabbits — you are. you so are. just wait )
who tries to study? and who tries to distract them?
i mean - alistair is always working (if it isn’t coursework, it’s almost certainly the ridiculous workload his father has delegated to him - there’s always stuff that needs to be done. always), and if she wants him to pay attention, she has to distract him. it starts out with her talking to him until he forgets he has work to do (half-forgets, mind you, but still), but when that starts proving ineffective, she just moves whatever he’s working on out of reach.
who gets way too heated in debates? and who has to drag them away to calm down?
neither. but alistair always oversteps, so hope has to intervene either way, just to make sure that no one decides it fit to punch him.
who spams the other’s phone with memes?
hope still lives in a world where it’s socially acceptable to pass on facebook chain mail and to send photos that have been edited using glitterfy.com (hint: it really isn’t, 2007 was 11 years ago).
who uses cheesy pick up lines?
hope. all of them in french, and most of them found on duolingo.
who said ’ i love you’ first?
hope. quickly followed by her mumbling incoherently about how he doesn’t have to say it back just yet, it’s okay, she knows how difficult all of this is for him. he’d say it back later that evening, right before she’s about to fall asleep.
who gets covered in hickeys?
neither. alistair is way too scared she’d break if he got rough with her, and hope really doesn’t see the appeal of hickeys in the first place.
who kisses the other during arguments?
hope. there’s no point in fighting when you have barely any time left, is there?
who always oversleeps in the mornings? and who has to wake them up for class?
alistair is always up before six - there’s always something on his agenda that needs to be taken care of stat, and he really can’t afford the luxury of a lie-in. hope’s sleeping pattern depends on the day - sometimes she’s up earlier than he is, other times (if her illness is acting up), she doesn’t get up at all. he doesn’t wake her up (there’s no point - he doubts she’d be in shape to leave the house anyway), just folds the duvet over her before e-mailing her lecturers, letting her sleep all the while.
it’s a complete accident- one she doesn’t think she’s ever going to live down.
in her defence it’s his fault. she told him to pick up his shirt off the floor. did he? no. so she’d tripped on it, nose buried in a text book as she walked to the guest her room. she’d crashed straight into ollie and sent them both tumbling into the nearest wall.
