[scionshtola]

17, 20, 26 for Mir/Aeran (and Leo/Garrus if it's not too much!)

thank you hannah!! <3 i will def do both

Mir/Aeran

17. Who fell in love first?

Definitely Mir, or at least she realizes it first, about 4 or so months before they arrive in Rona. The two of them went to Tol Covere and he helped her through some difficult family matters and at the end of it she realized she didn’t care where they went next, as long as they were together. She had her little oh moment and then just kept it to herself for the next year hehe

20. Who holds a grudge the longest?

LMAO i think this one is definitely Aeran. Mir is not really a grudge holder! In terms of their relationship I think Aeran is more likely to hold on to something he’s mad at her about whereas Mir will probably forget about it soon enough. Outside of it, the exception would be Mir can hold a grudge against someone who hurts him 😌

26. How do they comfort each other?

Ooh this is a good question. Neither of them are very big on talking about their feelings lmao so it’s a lot of non verbal and assurances that they’re there. Aeran will squeeze Mir’s hand or other little touches, but only when he’s sure it’s okay (sometimes he has to wait for her to reach for him). Mir will do that too because she knows it comforts him but she’s more likely to just let him know he can tell her anything and just like, be around so he’s not alone (he will appreciate this one day agshdjdj). And both of them like to make little jokes to cheer each other up!

Leo/Garrus

17. Who fell in love first?

Hmmm I think it happened around or near the same time, with both of them realizing it just before the last mission in ME2. They both had little crushes on each other in ME1 but Leo was very confused about her feelings (she was going through a lot and thought maybe she was in love with Kaidan (she was not. the feeling was friendship AGSJDKS)) and Garrus had thought he was suffering the turian tendency to think his superiors are hot. But being some of the only original Normandy crew in ME2 gave them more time to spend together and bond!

20. Who holds a grudge the longest?

Oh both of them love a grudge. Garrus can probably hold one longer just because if Leo can’t do something about the grudge she will get over it….eventually

26. How do they comfort each other?

When Leo is upset she tries to hide lol so Garrus will track her down with little treats: her favorite cookies, a cup of chai tea, an interesting engineering problem he hasn’t quite figured out yet. Something to distract her! And Leo is very similar, she’ll just show up where he is and start doing her own thing if he doesn’t want to talk, just to remind him that she’s there and she makes sure all the dextro appropriate snacks are available!
