I'm splitting this up into sections because there's a lot to go into here. Also y'all know about Ansi enough so I'm getting straight into the relationship. Not proof read if there's errors then no there isn't. Thank you to @the-cat-and-the-birdie for the questions.
Hobie & Ansi
–Part 1
Describe their relationship in 10 words or less.
Idiots who care for one another more than they think.
Describe their dynamic
There are layers to this. At first glance they give off power couple. When they're on site but not in a mission they're chaotic gremlins. But, when they're by themselves they're just two people who are so tired of living. Yet they're both gonna fight. It's gonna suck but they're both gonna keep going until things get better.
Quick! Someone asks 'What are you two? Are you dating?' - What do they say?
"Mind your business."
They will never explain a thing to anybody who they aren't close with if asked.
What's they're favorite way to spend time together?
Reading. They both love to just sit and read together. They'll read aloud to each other.
Hobie adores Ansi's reading voice. The way he changes his pitch for each character.
Her cheerful tone that she can somehow keep throughout the entire story. The way you can tell when a character is about to do something embarrassing because his nose just flared.
Ansi reads mostly sci-fi and fantasy because to him reading is an escapism.
Ansi enjoys Hobie's reading for many reasons (aside from the fact that his voice is so easy in the ears).
His deep and calming voice. The way he tries to hide or exaggerate his accent as he reads. The way he'll pause and take a long drawn out breath when he gets mad before he continues.
His smooth and steady pace is really relaxing. Ansi is fighting fight sleep every time. Hobie reads mostly memoirs or auto/biographies of important black political figures. For him reading is a means to gain knowledge and understanding about the world.
Are they romantic, platonic, sexual? A secret fourth thing?
Trying to narrow it down under any one thing is honestly offensive. They're just so loyally devoted to one another that the lines blur. Ansi will never trust anyone as much as he trusts Hobie and vice versa.
How long have they known each other?
2 years. (Hahaha so apparently they've known each other for 5 non-consecutive years.)
What song embodies their vibe?
It took so long to find a song that didn't use the word love in it. That was genuinely my only rule.
I Will by Mitski
I wanted a song that expressed the devotion that they hold for one another as well as their ability to be vulnerable with each other. To me this song is like them shouting "JUST LET ME TAKE CARE OF YOU," back and forth.
Two Slow Dancers by Mitski
The main theme of this song is nostalgia. And I've found that the two of them share more history than what I previously thought. They both wish they could turn back time. It'd be nice to go back to when life was simpler but they both know that they have to keep moving forward.
(I Wanna Be Yours by Arctic Monkeys was in the running too. )
Any nicknames for each other?
Hobie calls Ansi his/a Trickster and Ann
(like Anansi the trickster spider)
Ansi has tons of nicknames for Hobie.
So far she's got: Busy Bee, Bean, Paper Boy, Bie, Hobbs, and Princess if he's getting on his nerves.
What does a sleepover look like for them?
On a good night it's the two of them infodumping back and forth to one another. Or Hobie bouncing lyrics ideas off for Ansi to sing. Boring bland stuff because it's nighttime and Ansi has a sleep schedule that he likes to stick to.
On a bad night they're both lying in Ansi's full size bed drunk or high, spilling their hearts out to one another until either the sun rises or they both pass out. Sometimes they're just lying on the couch, Hobie in Ansi's arms silently sobbing.
What moment do they feel safest with each other?
Idk if this question is referring to a specific time in the day or a moment in their shared history so I'll say something for the first one.
Crime never sleeps and I don't think the two of them do either. I'd like to say nighttime but we all know nobody is getting any peace and quiet in the streets of Seattle or London at nighttime. So probably around dusk. Right before nightfall. Or at dawn when the sun is just starting to rise.
For some of these answers I just blacked out and it felt like they were speaking through me like dang. Y'all good????
