RO jamble, I let the die decide. So one for each: Andy x Adam, Hiyam x Seven, Irvin x Cressida and Kendis x Lae'zel (oh boy, I can see them butting heads)
So, Andy's best friend is Nate [surprisingly] but he and Adam have a lot of commonalities -- they're both ridiculously loyal, they have great poker faces, they're diligent workers [andy when he chooses to be lol, adam always], and they're protective [go team would save a loved one at cost of other things!*]
So, I do think personality-wise they COULD work. HOW would they work? /shrugs. BEATS ME! I mean. Let us be realistic. The in for Mason was the sex. And MASON realizes he's in love before Andy does. MASON! Okay? Let that sink in. Adam don't fuck.
I suppose it would be a very and truly slow friends to lovers. I think it would ideally work starting when Andy was younger, because Andy was ... more brittle but also more open. Plus Andy is ridiculously sentimental [and I could say Adam is too], so starting something when Andy was younger would make Adam an exception. Not just in considering love [because well, he's already there] but as an Exception he would be already past the most basic defenses. Andy would be willing to be there with and for Adam much sooner.
If this happens when Andy is older, as the detective. Then Adam is gonna get a taste of his own medicine. Do we think Adam is the type to have sex with someone he loves just to be close with them because said person is 'lolz the fuck is romance? valentine's gimmick?'? Because if so, that's how it would happen. Adam would have to be VERY careful not to fuck that up tho -- he would have to walk a tight rope or he'd get shut down fast. And wow this got away from me.
*if it was mason and wayhaven specifically it would be hard for andy, but mason would win ... and i guess in this scenario adam would win. but if it was them PLUS wayhaven vs the world. the world could burn roflmao. and pls rebecca is dead in this scenario, i cant think of the angst of counting her separate]
actually WERE together in the past, they're on the ex route. And they were each other's everything. There is not much of a chance of them getting back together. The only way Hiyam would leave with Seven would be a guarantee -- Seven would have to be able to ensure that this new band or them as a duo would get the traction Hiyam already has. Because Hiyam loves Seven but she arguably loves fame more. And I think the second Seven realized it - and they would be suspcious I feel - it would not work. And staying would kill parts of Seven which ... despite Hiyam being up her ass she would notice, and that would hurt her too. Then they'd be back at square one.
So could it work? Yeah. But not for long. Maybe they were doomed to fail. Maybe if I play more I will change my mind. Is this what tragedy is?
Yes. They're best friends. It would have to be friends to lovers, because if Irvin started with a crush or Cessida approached him that way he might be a bit skittish bc how her father feels about Drakos [and Cyrus' big mouth making that obvious]. But at the moment she is his very best friend -- and that is saying something bc Irvin has a big heart lol. She absolutely adores him.
They COULD become something. Would they work long term? Hmmm. Cressida is more ambitious than Leon, I will leave it at that.
Oh, your'e right. I already tried it. Well, sex. Lae'zel would have to know when to shut her mouth and she is far too smug for Kendis' liking. I feel if Lae'zel wasnt so rash with her tongue and so self-confident [which would make her not who we love], I could see her ... complying with Kendis. And Kendis tolerating taht. It would be sex to fuck buddies to .... slow friends to lovers.
Maybe they don't have a chance to talk for a week after they first have sex then they fall into sex a second time too tried to talk. And then that way.
I feel they actually could work, especially a more matured Lae'zel in the sense that she is better at tongue holding but also she would prick at Kendis' softer side and by then Kendis would have built up tolerance and even amusement of Lae'zel just being Lae'zel. But it won't happen bc of ego roflmao.
Ty for the ask! This was so fun!! Especially Andy's. Deliciously great food for thought.
