Crushing

Shrike

- He 9/10 more likely to get the crush first
- He'll try to be in denial about it if you known each other for a while. Being very defensive about it, but secretly he knows, and eventually will give in.
- He would try to impress you, but most of the time he would fail since he tries to bite more than he can chew.
- He's kind of a wreck. Stuttering a lot, being very nervous, but trying to act cool.
- Beebs would constantly tease him about it mostly when they're just alone on the ship together.
- Becomes a bit clingy like he'll do stuff as an excuse to hang out for a bit.
- He would try to flirt a little bit but frames it as him just messing around. Unless you show interest.
- If you try to make the first move he probably won't catch it, and if he does he'll just panic and stare at you like a moron.
- Everyone knows he has a crush probably before he even does.

Beebs

- He's definitely more subtle about it. Really only someone like Shrike who's with him all the time would catch on kinda quickly.
- He does have some noticeable changes though like he'll be more gentle with you.
- Caring a bit more about how you're doing, and your safety. Not to say they didn't before tho.
- He also a bit more nervous. Being a little more bashful about things.
- He's the kind of person that would have crushes for years, but never do anything about it.
- You'll have to make a move first if you want anything to happen or just wait for Shrike's peer pressure.
- If you made the first move he wouldn't be afraid to flirt back, and maybe even tease you, but he does get a little flustered easily.
- He starts getting a sudden interest in romance Books.

Scratch

- He's straight up in denial off the bat
- He'll just brush it off as just overthinking or something. He'll never consider it actually being a crush.
-But oh boy is he defensive about it! If anyone even dares briefly mentioned the idea he's going to make sure that's their last words.
- He definitely becomes more distant and be kind of ruder. Yet he would also be more protective.
- he would mindlessly rant to Scritch about the his problem. Scritch doesn't care but still tries to help.
- When he's finally done being a piss baby(not in this lifetime /hj) he may be a little more flirty with you.
- He 100% believes he could sweep you off your feet if he so wanted too.

Ricket

-9.5/10 Crushes first
- He's literally the sweetest thing to the person he has a crush on.
- He gets very nervous when he realizes worried he's going to screw everything up.
- Unlike others he doesn't go into denial because he's very aware but tries to suppress his feelings and act normal but fails abysmally.
- when he falls he falls hard. he's a love sick puppy.
- He be very nervous, awkward, blushy, flustered, you name it, and it's very noticeable.
- If you were comfortable with it he would maybe draw you stuff. Maybe you're interested or just you or something he knows you'd like.
- He'd definitely try to get advice from Shrike.
- Shrike advice is basically to woo you by impressing you which he'll try his darndest but he has no idea what he's doing.
