it's my personal headcanon that bitty has a massive, inexplicable crush on shitty his freshman year. it makes no sense, with guys like ransom and johnson on the team, but there you have it. when b becomes friends with lardo, they have several hangouts where, after an entire nalgene of boxed wine, lardo goes on a rant about not understanding how she's fallen for someone like shitty and b just pats her arm and says, "been there." (several years down the line, the crew has reunited for some event. bitty finally fesses up to his crush in a game of truth or dare and shitty is so Touched and Honored that he sits in B's lap the rest of the night, cuddling him.) (it takes many many more shots before bitty confesses to his crush on chowder sophomore year. but that's for a different post.)
