II. GENERAL

What was their first kiss like?

Kissing Clarity can go two ways: Smitten can go vanilla and press his lips on her mask and call it a day. But fortunately for all us, Smitten is a certified princess-sexual freak and he would totally kiss whatever MOC has behind that mask.

On a more serious note, I do think their first kiss is one that is filled with an urgent and ugly kind of desperation. You could say it mirrors how Smitten came to be in Razor but sadder and far more painful. Perhaps as an attempt to try and escape the numerous times she breaks TLQ, an attempt to reconcile and know her heart was done. But it was all for naught of course, for all it did was create another shattered fragment, one that is full of heartbreak that bleeds and tears itself apart trying to make sense why his love never reached the Princess and set them free. Perhaps Smitten's nature as blind devotion wasn't enough to fully understand her and this breaks him further. If his love is lacking, then what else is he supposed to be?

What is their height difference? Age difference? Do either matter to them?

Clarity is definitely taller than Smitten, even if she's not floating around. I like to think MOC drapes herself all over Smitten as her way of showing affection or her power over him. Maybe place him on her lap for Clarity to pet. But their height or age don't really matter to them as both are still just pieces of their respective gods.

What are their parallels, whether in their personalities or their histories?

Both are persistent and unyielding. Clarity continued to break TLQ again and again for however long the entire sequence from Nightmare to MOC was, showing how much she's willing to do anything and how patient she is just to get what she wants. Smitten is loyal and known for his devotion to the Princess throughout the game, not allowing any negative opinions of her affect him in the slightest even to his own detriment. Both came to be through painful means, Smitten by getting stabbed repeatedly in the chest or betrayed by Witch in an attempt to break the narrative and MOC by being abandoned and denied the chance to be known to the only other creature that can possibly know her.

Their love is a double-edged sword, it will always hurt them and the people they care about.

III. LOVE

What are their primary love languages?

Smitten's is very keen on physical touch. Good thing MOC no longer stops the entire autonomic system when touching her now, right? Ah, but there will still be lingering static that raises Smitten's feathers when they hold hands, a literal shock going through him that makes his heart literally skip a beat when he attempts to hug her. He would always be near her, whether to assure her that he's still there for her or because a literal magnetic force pulls him to her.

I kinda see Clarity giving Smitten gifts and other stuff, mostly inspired by her dialogue of the gilded cage in game. But she likes to encourage and praise Smitten more often than giving him gifts, acknowledging his love and devotion to her and doing her best to return the favor by showering him with so much loving words.

What kind of nicknames do they call each other?

Clarity likes to call Smitten as "her little honeysuckle" and Smitten cannot settle for one nickname to call her because for him, she deserves all the wonderful and lovely nicknames all languages could offer!
