Lets try something interesting for the ship hcs. Dr Afton x Steven please? 👀

Ooh definitely an interesting one. I've never seen Afton x Steven before, so this'll be fun!

Headcanon below!

Most people know and understand Dr. Afton to be a fairly smart individual- he's a psychologist after all, he's been through years of school, college, the like. He'd like to think he's smarter than most as well...not so much a mark of arrogance as much as it being a factual matter.

Brains are important to him, but he's never said he had anything against brawnier, stronger people. He finds a good, strong personality attractive, actually. Something about an opposites attract magnetism- he could write a theorem about it, but that's for another time.

Enter Mr. Steven Rudboys, both the exception and the rule.

Before the two were neighbors, they met on a military base during a strategy briefing for the pilots. There was an argument about flight pathing- the scientists were saying one thing and the pilots were saying another. It was about to get out of control when Steven spoke up with his own solution that neither side considered.

It took a while for both sides to discuss the idea, but somehow, it made complete sense...which sent Afton's brain into overdrive. He was smart? And strong? Was it possible for such a person to exist? *Obviously yes, but it's the 1950's and Afton is just a little dense*

That's where the attraction started, and every time they crossed paths after that, Afton stopped Steven simply to hear what he had to say. Steven slowly noticed that Afton was really going out of his way to talk to him, but he never minded. It was cute having someone so interested in what he had to say.
