I have brainrot so have thisDefinitely started dating before the meetings. See they didn't realize who the other was at first, considering the states had not really met/seen DC a whole lot before the meetings and they kept forgetting to ask for names.
Definitely told the other a fake name at first, cause telling a non state the actual name might end up weird.
They eventually told eachother, kinda just like "I have something to tell you" and both saying it at once.
They were very suprised.
Wash made a whole deal out of his friend being the government xemself.
DC was very flustered and assuring him it was nothing much.
They did not start dating for a long while, although acting very domestic with eachother. Like laying on the other during outings, bringing the other food randomly, thar kind of stuff. They thought the other only wanted to be friends.
The whole west had to hear about how cute Wash's mystery friend was.
Wash would flop onto the couch next to someone and they'd go on this whole spiel about how much Wash wanted to kiss xem but xe probably just wanted to be friends.
DC was very scared to come out to him with the xe/xem pronouns cause alot of the senators had made it clear they Did Not like cisn't people.
Wash assured xem it was ok, it wasn't stupid, and that they were trans and went by he/they himself.
Eventually the west, tired of the pining pulled some strings and set them up on an actual date.It was very awkward to say the least, but they did come out a couple at the end of it.
IDC caught them kissing in DC's office once, before xe told her about the relationship.
They both panicked and Wash tried to hide behind a plant.
IDC couldn't help but laugh.
Gov was...less amused. IDC did talk some sense into him.
They were married by the time they moved into the statehouse. They weren't hiding the relationship, but it never came up in conversation.
That's because some of the others thought they were just crushing and had started schemes to get them together.
The west did Not stop this, and in fact enjoyed watching them try and set up the married couple.
A state, frustrated by the failed attempts goes up to DC one day and tells xem "You know Washington likes you right?"
DC pauses, looking at them confused "Well I should hope so."
And that's when the state notices the ring.
They go to the library together for book dates.
When Wash first got sick DC was so concerned, despite Washington insisting it was allergies and took care of their every need.
Wash knows just how to get DC to sleep quickly, and tries his best to make sure DC takes care of xyr needs.
They almost flew down to the Capitol themselves on Jan. 6 to try and find xem and make sure xe were ok.
Lots of cuddles, so much. DC wasn't really used to it at first, but turns out cuddles from certain people were great. Sometimes xe will just plop xemselves in Wash's lap and demand cuddles, which are happily given.
DC has been trying to learn how to cook to make something for Wash. It Did Not go well but they're getting better!
They watch Bigfoot documentaries together, and DC tells Wash all about the Whitehouse Demon Cat.
