Aphmau Ship Asks

143. How would each of them explain how they fell in love?

Aarmau
Aaron = "She was perfect from the beginning. She was so acceptive, and so patient.. it was amazing. I felt so much for her, and I hardly even knew her. It wasn't hard to fall in love with Aphmau.. not at all."

Aphmau = "It was like riding a bike," she laughed. "He was still the same Aaron, and he still had all the sass and adorable quirks the old Aaron had. He was dreamy, and I never cared that he was blind or didn't remember me. I knew I would fall in love all over again with him, and I.. uh,, I cried when he shared the same feelings."

Garrence
Garroth = "I think I always liked Laurence, I just had no clue," Garroth giggled. "I think when I came home from Starlight, with my new ears, and was so tired and depressed and whatever.. I think I knew that when I saw Laurence for the first time after that I was in love. He was such a relief, Irene I felt so happy when I hugged him again.." Garroth trailed off. "It's stupid, I know, but it's true." He laughed again.

Laurence = "I realized I missed him. I didn't like not having my best friend for so long, and I ached without knowing why. I had no idea that I was feeling was heartache haha." He paused. "Seeing him after he came home, my heart really began to sting. He needed help, and I wanted to be the one to help him. And that may sound selfish, but we kissed shortly after that so I see it as a win." He chuckled.

Melinda
Melissa = "I think it took awhile for me to admit my feelings toward Lucy.. I thought she was pretty and nice for awhile, but a lot of things got in the way... I hated to have to hire her because of the situation, but she really excelled. She was great at what she did, and her work caught my attention. I admired her personality and her determination... I asked her out to dinner and we hit it off immediately. She's beautiful and so super smart, Irene I'm lucky to have her."

Lucinda = "There was always something about Melissa that I didn't see in anyone else. She was.. everything I wasn't. She seemed confident and happy, and I, well, I guess I was confident and happy enough— I was lucky when she offered me that job. My pride took a hit, that's for sure, but.. I relished the time I spent with her. She was good company, and didn't treat me like.. garbage. I grew to like her even more. And then I realized we were wrong: we did have a lot in common. She was perfect, and she was gorgeous the moment I met her. I'm just.. lucky things worked out the way they did."

Travlyn
Travis = "Falling in love with the way Katelyn looked was, admittedly, easy," Travis chuckled. "But I was stupid, she wasn't just her looks, I mean.. she was the whole package, I was just too naive to realize it. I kept pursuing her, and then after a little it wasn't the looks that kept me going, it was who she was as a person. She was beautiful, smart.. I was sold. I wanted to see her, and I needed to see her. I was addicted, and, you know.. it worked out in the end." He smiled.

Katelyn = "I should have given him a chance from the beginning. He was weird and annoying in highschool, so I just ignored him. It really sucks that I was turning away my future boyfriend but.." she trails off. "After all of those years of his constant pursuit and having been forced to spend time with him.. I found myself falling in love with him. It hurt me, because so realized he was actually a great guy. And that awkward, guy full of acne was a man who was a foot taller than me, who was super good looking. I fell in love with the idiot, and if he actually would have died.. I don't know what I would have done." She paused, shaking her head. "I don't know what I would have done." She repeated.

Vylante
Vylad = "I always thought Dante was hot," he shrugged, too easily. "But Dante was straight, and certainly wasn't my type. In highschool I stayed far away from idiots like him. I wanted nothing to do with him, I just wanted to get out of highschool with good enough grades. But.. that changed.

I approached him at the airport, found out that we were traveling for work to the same place, and convinced him to share an apartment with me to save cash. I figured that he would probably be easy enough to deal with for a few months, and if he wasn't I would move out, and maybe lose a little bit money. But.. the month went by easily. Almost too easily. We got, admittedly, way too comfortable with one another. And we would've stayed together longer if we hadn't heard the news of what happened at Starlight but.. getting a crush all over again over him.. it made my heart hurt. Because Dante was still straight, and I still liked men. So, uh.. I was kind of excited when he confessed. And then we were dating."

Dante = "I fell for the guy kinda, um, hard. We lived in a tiny apartment in Italy for weeks, and we ate together, traveled together.. I couldn't speak even a little Italian so I had to rely on him for everything. But even during that time just being with him made my stomach knot. He made me feel uneasy, 'cause Irene knew that I liked women, but did she know for sure if I like dudes? Did I even know? Hell no. But being with him and then him straight up leaving without telling me.. it made my heart break into pieces. I was lucky to catch him before he left, and, Irene, I couldn't help it. I shot my shot, took a risk, and I.. got lucky. And nowadays I have no idea what I'd do without him."

ZaneChan
Zane = "I had a small thing for her in highschool. And no, I never admitted it to her. She doesn't need to know that— I was lucky Kawaii-Chan chose me to put her trust into. Yes, she bribed me with cupcakes, but that was beside the point. I spent time with her and.. Irene, I don't know how to put it. My heart wouldn't stop beating, I— I grew to love seeing her everyday during that vacation, and I never felt that way with anyone else. Not even Aphmau. It was a new, weird feeling that I wanted absolutely nothing to do with. It embarrassed the hell out of me, but the relief I felt when she kissed me I.." he paused, and took a deep breath. "The fact that she kissed me drove me even more insane, and then we hung out some more and. I knew then. I knew I was in love with her, and there was certainly nothing she could do to change that. I loved her for Nana. I didn't love her just for Kawaii-Chan. And she loved me for me."

Nana = "Zane was so much more different than I imagined. I thought he was weird at the start, but when Love Love Paradise happened I.. I was kinda forced to spend time with him. I mean, yeah, I kind of asked for it—but I don't regret it!! He was super sweet, you just had to get past that rock-hard cold exterior of his!! I felt like.. I could confide in him. I knew he understood and... I was so, so happy that he did understand. He understood me. And I never confided who I was to anyone else and.. my heart soared when I told Zane. I think I knew then that he was the one. And there was nothing Zane could have possibly done to change my mind." She grinned.
