i love them so much pls accept this list
alvarez is the tol in this relationship, tall dark and beautiful
laila is like a less intense andrew joseph minyard, she’s smol blonde beefy and angry
laila has a resting bitch face
if u wake laila from her afternoon naps u will end up with bruised ribs
alvarez also pokes/pinches/squeezes/bear-hugs laila
but she never tries to lift laila off her feet ok one time alvarez did that and she walked around school for a whole week w/ a black eye
laila is otherwise immune to alvarez’s teasing
despite being a head shorter than alvarez, laila can pick alvarez up (over-shoulder, bridal-style w/e) no problem
that said, alvarez is super easily flustered
laila has good grades and has to tutor alvarez all the time
alvarez loves animals and will pet every single dog she sees
probably cries when cats run from her
laila says stuff like “it was probably bc ur so ugly” or “they didn’t like the smell of ur inner worth” while buying alvarez ice cream to make her feel better
they share a dorm room ;)
alvarez does the blanket burrito thing and forces laila to watch chick flicks with her
laila hates chick flicks but humors alavarez anyways
they cuddle a lot esp. when it’s cold
laila loves rain and snow but it’s cali and none of those things ever fucking happen
alvarez became friends w/ neil after That Game and they compare andrew to laila
“neil look at my small angry significant other she just failed her calc test bc she was too tired to study” “um no you look at MY small angry significant other he just dropped his ice cream”
“neil the cat ran away” and neil just sends her pictures of sir and king (bless nora and I guess nicky for fat cat mccatterson and fluffkins) and alvarez just starts crying bc “they’re so CUTE AND FLUFFY AND I CAN’T PET THEM”
laila just offers up some hot cocoa
