NERDS FOR SHIP MEME
Oh, this gon’ be good. :D
send me a ship and i’ll tell you:
who is more likely to get injured doing small tasks: Honestly, probably Zed. Even though he’s careful as fuck when building bombs - uh, for OBVIOUS reasons - he has Kitchen Incidents with rice cookers and the like. At which point Xu probably just goes “god, forget it, let’s just order takeout before you burn down our new kitchen.”
who worries more about the other: I think this might be 50/50 kinda? Depending upon the situation. Pretty sure either one of them would be in bits if the other one were to, let’s say, go missing on a mission (not that we would ever do that to them, ahem)
who is more afraid about the other leaving them: I think maybe Xu, because let’s face it, Zed has a rep as a complete cad, and there may be a bit of jealousy over Roxy. Even though she’s dead and stuff.
who is more likely to leave (for any reason): Xu, I think, probably has a lower threshold for bullshit than Zed does. I could even see her leaving if she had to protect Zed, oddly enough.
who is more likely to drunkenly confess: Xu. Zed would confess either drunk or sober...or both. who is more likely to push the other away (for any reason): Maybe Xu - although Zed gets in his weird fugues too, where he’ll just vanish and mope for a bit by himself. Usually around the anniversary of the explosion that claimed the lives of Roxy and Laurelei. who picks fights more often: I would say maybe 70/30 in favor of Xu, BUT, they probably almost always end in hatesex. who usually apologizes first: Zed, because he knows he probably fucked up somehow anyway, so why not apologize preemptively? who is more likely to withhold their feelings for the other: I’m thinking Xu is more reserved in that regard, because lbr, Zed was probably saying ilu by the third or fourth date.
who is more likely to lash out at the other: Honestly I think they might just both bite their tongues until they just both SNAP. Especially once they’re living together and/or renovating their house and whatnot. who gets more jealous: I think Xu, who is jealous of the dead wife even.
who is more likely to support the other in a relationship with someone else “as long as they’re happy”: Likely Zed, since he’s been married before and, obviously, has been around the block a couple of times. He wouldn’t LIKE it though, and honestly, would probably follow Xu and look out for her - not in a creepy stalker way per se, just legit watching over her, because he’s a Turk.
