hmmm, what about calliexpearl relationship hcs?
The first time they met was mere weeks before oth was formed, when Pearl got Callie to sign her guitar at a meet & greet after a concert
There next meeting was at the crossover concert a few years later
Pearl brought her guitar bc it's her instrument??? And she needs it to prefor????? And Callie's screaming internally the whole time
She signed Pearl's guitar??? When?????
She spends the next month or so trying to remember but she just cAnt
One day Marie sees Pearl in the square, and fed up with her sister's ranting asks the idol about it
"Oh, it was a few years back. I really looked up to you guys as idols and got Callie to sign my guitar at some meet up thing after a concert
Callie is feral.png because hER CRUSH LOOKED UP TO HER????? HDJCDHHDVD
Oh ye Callie's had a crush on Pearl since oth's debut :)
Maire's 99.8% sure Cal has a crush and bc she's a good wingman asks Marie for Pearl's number and gives it to her
After a week of deciding whether to text her or not, she's about to hit send when she gets a message
"Hey rina gave me ur number so uhm hi ig???"
"This is Callie yeah? If it ain't I'm making her sleep on the couch again
"Uhm Yes!!!!! This is me!!!!! I'm going to guess ur Pearl???? :O"
They spend the next few months talking and grow really close
Til one night after Pancake v waffles when Pearl shows up at Cal's at 2 am crying
They have some real intimate talk about how Pearl feels inferior to Marina, and how horrible a friend she is
Callie reveals she felt the same after the last splatfest, and accidentally confesses to Pearl while comforting her
Pearl's kinda shocked but like??? Thinks about it and oh shit I like her too
Pearl stays the night and they fall asleep cuddled up together on the couch
Pearl wakes up the next day to Cal's pancakes, and they spend the day watching movies and being cute friends-who-aren't-really-friends-anymore
