rivalry. | alfonse vs hrid

- alfonse and hríd themselves aren't very competitive against each other- they're close friends and they want no anger between them
- alfonse, deep down, thinks that the summoner should like him more, because he's known you longer
- hríd believes that knowing someone for a long time doesn't equate to feelings. he thinks that he treats you better than alfonse
- but they'd never say that to each other of course
- their competition is subtle, looking at you until you notice, then flashing a smile, or presenting little flower bouquets in front of your room door
- one day, hríd joined you as you were standing on the balcony, looking up at the stars
- wanting to start a conversation, he asked you what you were thinking
- "i just miss my home a little," you'd replied.
- he nodded, understanding the homesick feeling.
- "what was it like?"
- you would explain cars, and phones, even if he didn't quite understand them, and how different cultures were
- he'd gotten especially surprised when you explained that in your world, people dated for a few years before getting married, not just a few weeks or courting like askr and the other kingdoms
- "so, you'd rather date someone for years before marrying them?" he questioned
- "yeah, of course. it gives you longer to know them, and to decide if you want to marry them when they ask"
- hríd nodded thoughtfully at that, making a plan in his head before changing the subject
- then later that week, alfonse knocked on your bedroom door, bringing in your favorite askrian foods and a pitcher of water
- you questioned what he was doing, and he just replied that he was "spoiling you"
- the only time you'd used that term was when you and sharena had a girls day and you said that you were going to spoil her with earth activities
- you giggled and let alfonse set the tray down on your nightstand and let him sit next to you, a comfortable silence coming over you as you enjoyed the food
- "did fjorm cook this? or eir? whose week is it?" you asked
- "it's eir's week to cook, but i did this myself." alfonse blushed a little
- you were absolutely touched, and you wrapped your arms around him, hugging him as a thanks
- alfonse.exe has stopped working
- he stuttered his way towards your door and left in a small hurry, not wanting to be rude for rushing out, but also not wanting you to see his flustered face
- if you chose alfonse over hríd in the end, he'd be the happiest boy ever
- he'd introduce you to his mother officially and let her know of your relationships and she would adore you
- he'd spoil you every day with your favorite flowers or food
- he wouldn't be too keen on pda, just because he's the leader of the order and he wants to keep a strong image
- this doesn't exclude hand holding or anything, he's just not gonna make out with you in the middle of the hallway kinda thing that's gross
- alfonse is an ideal boyfriend if you're looking for a selfless, cute, loving, sweetheart
- if you chose hríd, he'd treat you like an absolute queen
- keeping you warm while traveling through Nifl, putting you WAY before him, just being the overall gentleman that every girl dreams of
- hríd wouldn't be as embarrassed about pda or affection as alfonse would, but he'd definitely keep it to a minimum in public
- alone, he's all over you. cuddles, kisses, you name it and you have it
