#wait new platonic ship guys: aru x aiden x hasini (me) because i love them so much

[telugu-girl-13]

Aruden has always been my go-to drawing couple. I’ve never attempted to draw ships or couples from almost any other series, including Percy Jackson. But with Aruden, I feel more confident, especially because there is only one actual scene of their interactions while they’re dating, so I have a lot of space for creativity.

It’s probably nighttime during this scene, where Aru is pacing around the room during a group sleepover and Aiden wakes up and tries to comfort her. Aruden with the worried x puppy dog eyes is literally the best thing ever.

And in correspondence to this scene, I feel like she would have referenced this in a conversation with her school friends, and this is before she tells them that they are dating.

Arielle, talking about the attractive guys at school: Oh, oh, Aiden Acharya! He’s SO good looking. I bet he looks perfect even in his sleep.

Aru, without paying much attention to what she’s saying: Nah, his bedhead is a nightmare, especially because of his curls.

Arielle: Well, maybe not his hair, but he probably has the cutest oversized hoodies to sleep in.

Aru: Nope, he sleeps in his cousin’s band tees.

Arielle: How do you know all of this stuff about him in his sleep?

Aru: Oh, yeah, his hoodies are nice, but he can’t wear them when going to sleep because I do.

Aru: Wait, did I just say that?

Arielle and Poppy: 🫢😲
