1.) who said “i love you” first? hahahahahah auggie!!! it's a drunk and very dramatic love confession, but it still counts! they loved nancy since the first grade, they deserved to be the one to say it first.
2.) what are their primary love languages? august is a huge words of affirmation type of person meanwhile nancy is quality time. i love how both of their love languages compliment each other very well! nancy will just love being around auggie and telling them how much she loves them and august will be on cloud nine the whole time!
3.) how often do they cuddle/engage in pda? well, since it's the 80s, not very big in public. they do get away with some things like interlocking arms and hugging. but if this was set in modern day and age, GOD they both would be so into pda! it would take nancy some time to get used to it, but once she does, they're both being a cute, lovesick mess around each other in and out of public.
4.) what are their favorite things to do together? auggie's really into film so they tend to watch a lot of movies together and auggie will just analyze everything. nancy isn't always a fan of everything they watch together, but she'll do her best to sit through all of it without falling asleep ( which has happened a few times ). meanwhile, nancy's obviously very into journalism. auggie's not super into it, but they'll often go to the library or hawkins high news room just to listen to nancy discuss the latest details of a story or an article. they honestly just love being around each other so much that they do not care what they're doing.
5.) who’s better at comforting the other? surprisingly, auggie. i was thinking nancy at first, but auggie's a cancer sun,,, homie is built at comforting. they're very good at shoving their feelings aside for nancy when her relationship with steve ends up in shambles, because they wanted to be there for her as a friend. nancy always looks for auggie whenever she's upset or hurt like they make her feel safe, seen, heard, happy, welcomed, etc. and when auggie's not around, nancy will lose her mind until they come back.
6.) who’s more protective? now this,,, this is nancy for sure! the girl keeps two guns in her bedroom. ofc she's more protective! while they're friends, nancy's very protective over august to the point where even steve gets roped in too.
7.) do they prefer verbal or physical affection? a good mix of both! i think they're a bit more on the verbal side from where my ideas are at right now.
8.) what are some songs that apply to their relationship, in-universe or otherwise? ha okay these are all on their modern playlist which can be found here, but here are some goodies: yours by conan gray, gorgeous by taylor swift, and i wanna be your girlfriend by girl in red.
9.) what kind of nicknames do they call each other? they don't have any specific ones other than shorter versions of their names so august "auggie" and nancy "nance". they don't give me big one nickname vibes.
