6, 9, 16, and 19 for slimav if you haven’t answered those yet :)

SLIMAV FIRST THING IN THE MORNING

6. Do they have pet names for each other? Do they like them?

YES, Slider has so many for Mav, the favourite being babygirl or sweet thing. Mav calls slider a teddy bear a lot and baby. They both love the pet names even if theyre a little embarrassed when they call each other them

9. Are they a "we" couple?

Idk what this means but im gonna guess that its like they do everything together? They do as much as they can together, they do need time apart like any healthy couple but they get that with work so.

16. How do they react when the other is upset? How do they try to help?

Slider always comforts Mav when hes upset, sometimes if he’s really mad its best to just let him be but if he’s upset Slider picks him up and takes him to bed so they can cuddle or he’ll sit Mav down on the counter so he can watch slider make one of their comfort meals, sometimes Slider gives Mav a piggyback when he’s cooking too so Mav can cling to him. Mav doesn’t talk a lot when he’s upset but Slider does, he’ll tell Mav about his day or about a movie he watched and Mav just listens, Slider voice calms him and just being around him makes all the bad just melt away.

At first Mav had no idea how to comfort Slider, he was pretty good at comforting people but seeing someone like Slider cry for the first time stunned him and he didn’t know what to do. He learned the Slider loves when Mav runs his fingers through his hair and scratches his scalp, so now when Sliders upset Mav will pull Slider to bed or the couch and get him to lay his head on Mavs lap so he can run his hands through his hair. Slider just needs Mav to touch him when he’s upset, as long as he knows hes there he’ll calm down.

19. What values do they not share? How do they reconcile those differences?

One thing i think they disagreed on at one point was having kids. Slider wanted one or two and Mav didn’t think he was ready, yes he’s the man with like 20 kids and he loved helping raise Bradley but having a kid that was really his own scared him, especially when he was still in the navy. He didnt want the same thing that happened to him or Bradley to happen to his kid and once he told Slider that he understood the fear Mav had. They talked about it a lot and idk if i want them to have a kid because i think they’d wait until Slider retired but then that seems like they’re both too old, if they were to adopt a kid it’d be a girl (girl dads slimav!!!)
