Not to make an ask that can be dated but Pearl and Frye (platonic or romantic) hcs :]c
hi chaz ik u sent this literally months ago but i just now had ideas for it after playing more of side order so here u go!!!! (minor spoilers for a line of dialogue)
They both have this loud and chaotic energy to them, so they get along quite well as they bounce off of each other
They love to have days where they can meet up and just do whatever, ranging from going on a spontaneous adventure to laying on the couch all afternoon, the quality time is the important part
As Pearl says in side order, Frye always comes running to Pearl when they see each other. Most of the time they end up hugging but there are some occasions where its On Sight and Frye will initiate a round of wrestling with no warning.
Frye loves to teach Pearl how to dance! Pearl isn't a professional dancer by any means but she likes to have fun when performing, and Frye teaches her how to do a lot of cool dance steps that she can integrate into performances
Half the time they're play fighting with each other through the dance lessons, Pearl complaining "You're going too fast!" and Frye telling her "Then match my speed, slowpoke! And stop stepping on my feet!"
Pearl is shorter than pretty much any average inkling or octoling, but Frye isn't actually too much taller than her, which makes hugs and kisses much easier for her to initiate
She still has to lean up when they're standing on flat ground, sometimes pulling Frye towards her to plant a sweet kiss on her lips, and other times she hops up on her tip toes to surprise her with a quick peck
Pearl will help Frye braid her tentacles sometimes, she used to be awful at it but each time Frye lets her do it she gets a little better. She's decent enough at it now that she can do it without Frye intervening (for the most part)
They do argue every now and then over silly things, like who has to do the dishes after they've eaten dinner, but if they do get into a bigger fight it doesn't last long. They both will spend some time away from each other for only a day or maybe just a few hours, then come back because they miss each other.
They hug after reuniting, Pearl mumbling into Frye's shoulder "I'm sorry I was being a dumbass." And Frye replies "I'm sorry I was too." It ends with them laughing quietly and a make up kiss, they can never be mad at each other forever.
