How They Respond to You Being Mad at Them

Steve - You and Steve rarely got angry at one another, it just wasn't in your nature. However, when Steve repeatedly kept cancelling plans so that he could hang out with those children, it did start to get on your nerves. When Steve finally came over to your house to visit you, he noticed you were more snappy than usual but he remained oblivious. It wasn't until you actually told him why you were upset that he realised. He left you to go into the kitchen, returning with a tub full of icecream which he shyly offered you, afraid that you'd start yelling or something. You couldn't help but admire how sweet he was being (and you really loved icecream) so you would reluctantly cuddled into his side and things were pretty much forgotten. 

Eddie - You would get mad at Eddie pretty much all the time but it was never serious and it was always over something petty. He could always tell why you were mad though bcause you'd become all quiet and stop meeting up with him at places like at the end of Hellfire Club or you'd refuse to let him over to your place, always pretending you're too busy (which he knows is a lie because you have no life). Eddie would always fix this by doing some sort of sweet gesture like when you wouldn't let him through you're bedroom window, he just sat outside all night waiting for you to come outside the next morning just to give you a bunch of your favourite flowers or once he wrote a song about your favourite animal just to make you smile and laugh again. You could never, ever stay mad at Eddie for long because he was just so Eddie like with his irresistible charms.

Max - Max would at first try and avoid you when you got mad, unsure what she should exactly do to comfort you. Eventually though she'd miss hanging out with you all the time and would get a little bit jealous whenever she's see being all happy with your others friends and her not being able to be included in that. She'd apologise to you and challenge you to a round of your favourite game. She's let you win which would make you realise how sorry she was because Max really liked to win things.

Peter - He often got very jealous particularly if you ever mentioned your friends outside of the lab. This always got you mad because you couldn't just not have friends and thought it was so pointless to waste the little time you had together with him being an ass. When you were mad you'd avoid him, purposefully spending time around your dad so that he couldn't try and talk to you. Eventually he'd get pissed off and find some way of sneaking you into a supply closet and apologising (which was never easy for him). He'd promise that he wouldn't be so jealous and then give you a kiss (or several) to make up for being a douche.

Robin - Robin struggled to pick up on when you were mad. Most of the time she's just continually rambling on to you about random things without a care in a world. You found it so cute how blissfully unaware she was that you anger would very quickly pass and the two of you would be chatting like normal again. 

Dustin - He just smothers you with apologies and food. When he does something to make you mad, he realises almost instantly and within seconds he's handing you your favourite chocolates and asking his mum to start cooking your favourite meal. The two of you would then sit curled up in front of the tv, you eating through all the food and slowly forgiving Dustin with every bite.

Lucas - You hated how he would sometimes change his personality when he was around his new basketball friends. It pissed you off because you know and love Lucas the way he is and don't think he needs to change at all. If he made a comment at school that you didn't laugh or joined in on a mean 'joke' he'd always notice the way you'd flinch at his words. At his first chance of getting you alone he'd relentlessly apologise, explaining how he just didn't want to be bullied for once. You knew how hard Lucas had it in school before and so you couldn't really be mad at him. But just to put him through a little bit of hell, you'd make him do whatever you wanted for the rest of the day.

Mike - It pissed you off when Mike would snap and say something not so nice about one of your friends he didn't like. If he made a snide remark about one of your friends you'd always be there in an instant to defend them, telling him how its not his opinion to have. Sometimes if he said something really bad you'd temporarily ump his ass just to scare him a little bit. After a few days of separation, Mike would no longer be able to bare it and he's get his friends to help find the best way of apologising. Sometimes he'd try and buy you something like he'd bring you a box of chocolates or even once a pair of socks. While sometimes his gifts were shitty, you couldn't stand being apart from him either and so you'd always forgive him.

Will - You rarely ever got mad at Will because he was always so damn likeable. However, on the rare occasion that it did happen, it could always be resolved with the two of you going on a walk together where he'd tell you all the things he liked about you and all the reasons why any disagreement you had was stupid and shouldn't damage your relationship.

Nancy - You would often fight over the amount of time she would spend working with Jonathan at the paper. They had dated before and you did have tendency to get jealous. You didn't mind a couple of hours a  week but sometimes she'd spend whole days working with him and it ticked you off. When she'd finally spend time with you she'd always bring something to butter you up like tickets to watch your favourite movie or letting you order whatever takeaway you wanted.

Jonathan - You'd get mad at him sometimes if he got too high with Argyle, leading to him forgetting about plans you may have made with him. You didn't mind him smoking weed, heck you even joined him from time to time, it just sucked sometimes.  Nothing was more embarrassing then being stood up in the local restaurant because you're boyfriend was too busy getting high with his bestie. You would stay mad for a few days, refusing to even look at the guy until he caved and apologised profusely, begging you not to dumb his ass.
