[mx-rgyn]

*cracks knuckles* 1-30 champ, i wanna know all about your cargyn c: (any au, pick your fave hehe)

I can’t decide if I love you or hate you for doing this to me but here we go-- (also I’m sorry but I rly struggled with Every Single One so I cut a few out dlfjhgsldgj)

(and in light of keeping these appropriate I’m gonna say that questions 6, 8, and 24 should be asked off anon by adults so I can answer privately uwu)

1. Who makes the first move and how?

[Uni AU] Morgyn makes the first move, hehe. Caleb sees Morgyn at a party and is infatuated immediately, and after they keep catching each other’s eye from across the room Morgyn eventually comes over to strike up conversation with this hottie standing against the back wall drinking alone.

2. Who is the most insecure and what makes them feel better?

[Gen] Both of them are insecure in their own ways tbh, so I don’t think I could pin it down solely to one of them, and will be answering for both.

Caleb struggles with depression and failing to be happy with the life he has (in the housemate AU it’s his vampirism, in the uni AU it’s him wanting a “dead end lifestyle” instead of the career path his father chose for him). Morgyn has anxiety and ADHD on top of having a rough childhood; he’s quite proactive in using coping skills and receiving treatment, but he still has his bad days and juggling all of those things at once can get to be too much for even the most confident of people. Some days he can’t leave the house because being in public is too nerve-wracking; some days he’s trapped in a brain fog where he can’t get anything done and it’s like he’s choking on his thoughts because they’re too loud and chaotic for him to make any sense of them. Both of them have spells where the concept of “existing” is overwhelming and all they can manage that day is curling up in bed in pajamas and a hoodie.

On Caleb’s bad days, Morgyn is tender and stable for him, making sure his needs are met and that he has the support he needs, whatever it may be that day. Sometimes he needs to vent, sometimes he needs space, sometimes he needs to mentally shut down for awhile and have someone he trusts take care of thinking about things and making decisions--but whatever it is, Morgyn is there to help and understands what he’s going through, at least enough to know where he’s coming from. On Morgyn’s bad days, Caleb is very sweet and loving and gives him lots of soft gentle affection. Morgyn has the tendency to get lost in his head during spells like these, so he either needs a medium to express his thoughts/feelings or a quiet escape to be able to sort them out and understand them. It usually results in Morgyn sitting in Caleb’s lap, on the floor, back against his chest with a cup of herbal tea.

3. Who is the most romantic?

[Gen] Caleb all the way. He’s a hopeless old-timey romantic and can’t resist opportunities to be a sweetheart :3

4. Who can’t keep their hands to themselves?

[Gen] Both >:3c But especially Caleb, hehehe

5. Who says ‘I love you’ first?

Depends on which AU, hehehe~

In the Housemate AU, Morgyn confesses first, but in the Uni AU, it’s Caleb who says it~

7. What do they get up to on a night out?

[Gen] Cute silly shenanigans usually, hehe. It depends on what it is specifically that they’re doing, and the AU, but it ends up being a mix of them being dorks in love and them being best friends that can have a great time together no matter where they go, uwu

9. What is the most embarrassing thing they have done in front of each other?

[Housemate AU] Caleb accidentally choked on a bite of plasmafruit when Morgyn startled him and made a mess from it, and Caleb walked in on Morgyn and L. Faba getting up to chaotic shenanigans that were really hard to explain out of context.

11. What do they hide from one another?

[Housemate AU] Well, at first they hide that they’re vampire and spellcaster, respectively. Once that’s off the table though, Morgyn evades any questions about his past and Caleb struggles opening up from a fear of being vulnerable.

12. What first changes when it starts getting serious?

[Gen] Their tender moments, those accidental ones that happen by chance without you realising it--before they were serious they resulted in blushes and awkward tension, but once they start getting Real Feelings they actually linger in them and it feels more comforting than anything else; like they found a pocket in space where time doesn’t pass and they can sit wrapped up in their bubble of intimacy, uwu

13. When do they realise they should get together?

Depends on the AU. In the Housemate AU, it’s when they spend one of Morgyn’s bad nights lying on the floor in Morgyn’s study, talking and having a Moment. (This is known among close friends as the Freckles Kiss Scene, which I will only elaborate on if asked specifically >:3c) In the Uni AU, it’s after Morgyn spends three days barely leaving Caleb’s side after Caleb has a breakdown and Morgyn is there to help piece himself back together.

19. Where do they go on their first date?

[Uni AU] After they both decide they can’t keep ignoring their feelings any longer, Caleb asks Morgyn if he can take him out properly the way he should have from the very beginning, and that weekend they do the classic “movie and dinner” setup, hehe. They ride on Caleb’s motorcycle to a quiet out-of-the-way park to take a long walk together, watch the sunset (while cuddling to share body heat bc it’s autumn and it gets cold), go see a movie, and get pizza for dinner while laughing together and having a fun time :3

20. Where do they go on holiday?

[Gen] Like a vacation? Somewhere warm and sunny. Preferably tropical. Morgyn’s always wanted to go where it’s summer year round (summer loving sunshine boy uwu) and Caleb is down for any trip where he can have fun and relax.

22. Where does their first kiss happen?

[Housemate AU] In the kitchen during the morning, after Caleb comes home from being out all night socialising and is still riding the “social high” enough that he doesn’t shy away from his attraction to Morgyn like he usually does. Helping Morgyn get a mug off of a too-high cabinet shelf turns into A Moment that gets pretty intense pretty fast and before they know it Morgyn is closing the space between them and Caleb is kissing him back and just!!!!!!! this scene has all my uwus you have no idea

23. Where is their favourite place to be together?

Anywhere feels like home in the arms of someone you love, uwu~

27. Why do their friends get annoyed with them?

[Gen] Because they won’t stop being cute and mushy together no matter how hard they try to keep the PDA to a minimum, hehehe

28. Why do they get jealous?

Morgyn doesn’t really get jealous because he’s very laid back about that kind of thing and trusts Caleb entirely. Caleb can get a bit jealous when so many people (understandably) fawn over his gorgeous boyfriend though, hehe. It’s nothing he’ll cause a scene over, but it’s definitely inspired some pointed kisses and hugs in public :3c

29. Why do they fall a little bit more in love?

[Gen] It’s always the littlest things. Caleb finds it adorable how Morgyn always sings or hums to himself in the shower, the way he’s always playing with his hair or fiddling with his rings or twirling pens in his fingers, the subtle lip bite he does when he’s deep in thought. For Morgyn it’s how Caleb always takes it upon himself to cook for them both (even in universes where Caleb doesn’t eat), the small cute romantic gestures, that one special heart-melting smile that reaches his eyes that he saves solely for Morgyn, the way he’ll listen to Morgyn ramble and gush about things he doesn’t understand for hours simply because he loves seeing Morgyn get passionate about his interests.

30. Why does it work (or not work) between them?

You already know the answer to this one--it’s Caleb and Morgyn. Their dynamic is one I could go on and on about for hours and still not have said enough about how I feel. Their push and pull, their sun and moon, their night and day duality; they are so different and yet so very much the same in all these ways I can’t list. They are simply themselves, together, in tandem with one another, and their balance brings me joy I do not have words to convey. It is ineffable, and it is love.
