Hiii, I found this super cool question list on pinterest (original will be shown below) for oc couples so I figured... why not do it for my precious Shadow Lace and Val Velocity? :3
What were their first impressions of each other?
📻 Shadow Lace was more annoyed than anything considering she had to help Val Velocity considering he randomly showed up on her porch beaten and bloody.
🔫 Val Velocity doesn’t exactly remember his first impression of Shadow Lace considering he was very woozy. (He did NOT like how talkative she is at first, btw)
Is it a casual relationship or true love? Or somewhere in between?
📻 For Shadow Lace it is VERY much true love, and they makes it very obvious to everyone with how they cling to Val lol
🔫 Val Velocity tries to act like it’s just casual, really he does but… we all know that’s not true ;3
What was each of them’s ‘oh shit I have feelings for them’ moment?
📻 Shadow Lace first realized that she really, really, liked Val in that way when he became one of the few people that she hoped would just drop by her shack or call in to the radio. Every knock on her door or new caller Shadow would jump at the possibility of it being Val.
🔫 It was probably when Val Velocity realised that he worried about Shadow Lace just as much as he did for the rest of his crew, that he actually cared for what would happen to her.
Did either of them fight their feelings, or was it easy to accept?
📻 Shadow Lace did fight her feelings a little bit at the start, but it wasn’t… intentional. It had been a VERY long time since she was last in a romantic relationship so everything she was feeling was so foreign to her that she didn’t even realise she had a crush!
🔫 That guy was at WAR with his feelings holy shit. Not only was Val fighting demons, he made it everyone else’s problem too. It took the rest of the Ultra V’s to LITERALLY slap some sense into Val before he finally accepted it (begrudgingly)
When was their first ‘I Love You’? What prompted it?
📻🔫 They both haven’t said it to each other’s face just yet. ‘I love you’ is always something said in a quiet murmur when they think the other one is asleep. Both Shadow and Val are scared to say it to each other, both for their own reasons.
Who’s the big spoon and who’s the little spoon?!
📻🔫 They switch pretty often BUT Shadow Lace is big spoon like 99.999% of the time. Val Velocity would rather turn himself into BL/i then admit it though
What was the biggest obstacle to their relationship?
📻 Shadow Lace’s lack of going outside DEFINITELY made things harder, especially since Val Velocity’s ‘tough love’ approach isn’t the most helpful… She is working on it though!
🔫 Do I even have to say it? Definitely Val Velocity’s paranoid personality. Shadow Lace (somewhat) understands where he’s coming from but it can be over-bearing at times.
What drew them to each other the most?
📻 She has a type for asshole men, what can I say? But on a more serious note, Shadow Lace is fascinated at just how many layers Val Velocity has, and she’s so desperate to get through them and fully see the kind and forgiving person she knows is on the inside (also he’s somewhat nice to her lol)
🔫 Val… isn’t entirely sure. There’s so much he likes about Shadow that he can’t exactly name one thing that draws him in. Gun to his head though probably how nice Shadow can be while still keeping her wits about her.
How long did they know each other before developing feelings?
📻 Shadow Lace knew Val for around… a month? Before she caught feelings for him
🔫Val Velocity also took around a month before he started developing feelings, but it took him another two months before he finally admitted to both himself and Shadow Lace that he had feelings.
What’s each’s favorite quality about the other?
📻 Above all else, Shadow Lace admires Val Velocity’s hope; hope in the fact that Battery City can be taken down. She also admires how honest Val can be (though it’s not always towards himself…)
🔫 Val Velocity loves how cheerful Shadow Lace is, how no matter how bad things seem Shadow always has some semblance of a smile on her face. He also appreciates how forgiving Shadow can be, especially when he fucks up.
