K I'm about to post gayass cute thoughts don't look <_<

But uurgh... UUUUUGH So I've always thought that R. Marie kinda likes keeping her full name a secret, just cuz its not really necessary for anyone to know and of course, R. Marie sounds much more intimidating. But of course, Cortex would want to know what the "R" stands for, and I'm sure he'd be persistent in pestering her about it as often as he could get away with, until finally she snaps and gives in. She'd probably just blurt it out in the middle of him asking yet again, like "It's RUBY, alright?!? My first name is Ruby. Are you satsfied?!" before she storms off in a huff (which is definitely to hide her blush).

Cortex would probably just stand there for a moment or two, letting this new info sink in for a moment. And then for the rest of the day, he'd just keep repeating her name to himself. Even while working on blueprints and machines, he'd just keep repeating it under his breath, and I guarantee he'd have the MOST dumb lovestruck grin the whole time, would probably play with his hair a bit too UGH 💀💖💖 After waiting so long to know what it was... he'd just like how it feels to say 💀💀💖💖💖💖
